Dambou Traoré

Dambou Traoré (born 27 November 1977) is a French former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.Ligue 2 for US Créteil-Lusitanos and earned two caps with the Mali national team in 2000 and 2001.


Dambo

A dambo is a class of complex shallow wetlands in central, southern and eastern Africa, particularly in Zambia, Malawi and Zimbabwe. They are generally found in higher rainfall flat plateau areas and have river-like branching forms which in themselves are not very large but combined add up to a large area. Dambos have been estimated to comprise 12.5% of the area of Zambia.mbuga (commonly used in East Africa), matoro (Mashonaland), vlei (South Africa), fadama (Nigeria), and bolis (Sierra Leone); the French bas-fond and German Spültal have also been suggested as referring to similar grassy wetlands.

Characteristics

Dambos are characterised by grasses, rushes and sedges, contrasting with surrounding woodland such as miombo woodland. They may be substantially dry at the end of the dry season, revealing grey soils or black clays, but unlike a flooded grassland, they retain wet lines of drainage through the dry season. They are inundated (waterlogged) in the wet season but not generally above the height of the vegetation, and any open water surface is usually confined to streams and small ponds or lagoons (called pans) at the lowest point generally near the centre.

The name dambo is most frequently used for wetlands on flat plateaus which form the headwaters of streams. The definition for scientific purposes has been proposed as “seasonally waterlogged, predominantly grass covered, depressions bordering headwater drainage lines”.

Types

The problem with the preceding definition is that the word may also be used for wetlands bordering rivers far from the headwaters, for example the dambo of the Mbereshi River where it enters the swamps of the Luapula River in Zambia, 09°43′30″S 28°46′00″E / 9.72500°S 28.76667°E.

A 1998 report of the Food and Agriculture Organization distinguishes between ‘hydromorphic/phreatic’ dambos (associated with headwaters) and ‘fluvial’ dambos (associated with rivers), and also referred to five geomorphological types in Zambia’s Luapula Province: upland, valley, hanging, sand dune and pan dambos.

Hydrology


Dambo

Hydrology

Dambos are fed by rainfall which drains out slowly to feed streams and are therefore a vital part of the water cycle. As well as being complex ecosystems, they also play a role in the biodiversity of the region.

There is a popular idea that dambos act like sponges to soak up the wet season rain which they release slowly into rivers during the dry season thus ensuring a year-round flow, but this is opposed by some research which suggests that in the middle to late dry season the water is actually released from aquifers.Springs are seen in some dambos. Thus it may take a long time—perhaps several years—for water from a heavy rainy season to percolate through hills and emerge in a dambo, creating lagoons there or a flow in downstream rivers which cannot be explained by the previous year's rainfall. Dambos may be involved, for instance, in explaining puzzling variations in water level or flow in Lake Mweru Wantipa and Lake Chila in Mbala.

Use

Traditionally, dambos have been exploited:

  * as a dry-season water source
  * for rushes used as thatching and fencing material
  * for clay used for building, brick-making and earthenware
  * for hunting (especially birds and small antelope)
  * for growing vegetables and other food crops, which can be vital in drought years since dambo soils usually retain enough moisture to produce a harvest when the rains fail
  * for soaking bitter cassava in dug ponds
  * for fishing (generally using fish traps) in those dambos with streams

More recently, they have been used for fish ponds and growing upland rice. Efforts to develop dambos agriculturally have been hampered by a lack of research on the hydrology and soils of dambos, which have proved to be variable and complex.

Example

A dambo can be seen at 11°28′S 28°54′E / 11.467°S 28.900°E (30 km south of Mansa, Zambia) in a forest reserve. Unlike in the neighbouring areas which have been cleared for farming and charcoal-burning, the dambo contrasts well with the undisturbed miombo woodland canopy. Headwater dambos have a branching structure like rivers. Most of the dambos have roughly the same width and form the same sort of pattern.


Dambo

An example of a pan dambo can be seen at 16°22.003′S 24°18.580′E / 16.366717°S 24.309667°E (102 km north-west of Mulobezi, Zambia). The water in the pan has dried out, and the grass has been burnt off giving the dark appearance at the centre of the dambo. To the east and west of the pan dambo a series of dambos can be seen along two river courses.


Cryptochrysis

Cryptochrysis is a formerly recognized genus of cryptomonads first proposed by Adolf Pascher in 1911. He initially treated it as the sole genus in family Cryptochrysidaceae, but later treated it as a member of the Cryptochrysideae subfamily of Cryptomonadaceae, along with Rhodomonas, Chroomonas, and Cyanomonas.R.W. Butcher relegated the group to a subgenus within Chroomonas.

It is now regarded as paraphyletic, with its species now various reassigned into Pyrenomonas and Rhinomonas since 1988.

Actor-Based Concurrent Language

Actor-Based Concurrent Language (ABCL) is a family of programming languages, developed in Japan in the 1980s and 1990s.

ABCL/1

ABCL/1 (Actor-Based Concurrent Language) is a prototype-based concurrent programming language for the ABCL MIMD system, created in 1986 by Akinori Yonezawa, of the Department of Information Science at the University of Tokyo.

ABCL/1 uses asynchronous message passing among objects to achieve concurrency. It requires Common Lisp. Implementations in Kyoto Common Lisp (KCL) and Symbolics Lisp are available from the author.

ABCL/c+

An implementation of ABCL/c+ is available from the ACM.

ABCL/R

ABCL/R is an object-oriented reflective subset of ABCL/1, written by Professor Akinori Yonezawa of Tokyo Institute of Technology in 1988.

ABCL/R2

ABCL/R2 is a second generation version of ABCL/R, designed for the Hybrid Group Architecture. It was produced at the Tokyo Institute of Technology in 1992, and has almost all the functionality of ABCL/1. It is written in Common Lisp. As a reflective language, its programs can dynamically control their behavior, including scheduling policy, from within a user-process context.

Acton Trussell

"Actone" redirects here. Not to be confused with Act One (disambiguation).

Acton Trussell is a village in the English county of Staffordshire. It is known as Actone in the Domesday Book. Located around 4 miles southeast of Stafford, it is an affluent village, with many large homes but few local amenities (except for a post office which opens on Tuesdays and Thursdays). Residents in this village have excellent views of Staffordshire farmland and Stafford Castle in the distance. Its close proximity to the M6 motorway (Junction 13) makes it a very convenient location for commuters. The majority of commuting from the village takes place to the areas of southern Staffordshire, eastern Shropshire and the West Midlands conurbation.

In shape a rough parallelogram, this parish is bounded on the west by the River Penk, and to the east it extends to the uncultivated upland of Cannock Chase. On the north lies Baswich, and the southern boundary abuts on the formerly extraparochial area of Teddesley Hay. The ground is very low lying but rises in the north-east at Acton Hill to 375 ft. and in the south-east to 600 ft.

The Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal runs from south to north through the western edge of the parish. The parish is also crossed by the Cannock road in the north-east on which there was formerly a toll-gate and toll-house, 600 yds. northeast of Acton Hill.

Etymology

The name 'Acton' is derived from the Anglo-Saxon Āctūn meaning oak (āc) + town (tūn); the Trussells were a Norman family who were early lords of the manor.

St James' Church

St James' Church, Acton Trussell, May 2008

The village church dedicated to St James was originally built in 1212.G E Street, the architect being Andrew Capper.

The churchyard contains war graves of a Durham Light Infantry soldier of World War I and a Royal Engineers soldier of World War II.

The Moat House

The Moat House, Acton Trussell, May 2008


Acton Trussell

The Moat House, Acton Trussell, May 2008

The village has one very large pub and hotel, The Moat House, not to be confused with The Moat House Group. The Moat House in Acton Trussell is owned independently by the Lewis family. The Lewis family also own two other venues including The Dog and Doublet in the village of Sandon and The Red Lion in the village of Bradley. The pub section of the hotel was the original farm house built on the property.

The oldest part of the present house is on the east side and probably dates from the early 16th century. It consists of a twostory timber-framed wing of four bays. The upper story, originally open to the roof, has had a floor inserted to form attics. The roof has curved windbraces and three original trusses. Two large external chimneys with stone bases and later brick stacks may be contemporary or additions of the early 17th century. Much of the exterior has been faced with brickwork, and there are low brick additions to the south. A brick wing at right angles to the original block was added at the west side c. 1700. This has two stories, attics, and cellars. It may have replaced an early timbered hall. Internally it has a contemporary staircase and panelling. Some earlier panelling may have been removed from the 16th-century wing. The moat, originally large and curved, was probably of early medieval date. The west side was destroyed by the construction of the canal and a depression in the ground indicates the eastern arm. Only part of the north side, fed from the canal, is now wet. The moat was formerly supplied by a small stream from the east which entered the Penk at this point. In 1752 Edward Dickenson was the plaintiff in an action against his neighbour whom he accused of diverting the stream, thus causing his moat, in which he kept fish, to become stagnant

Roman villa

In May 1985 the semi-hexagonal wing of a Roman villa was discovered in the churchyard.


Acton Trussell

The wing of a Roman villa was discovered in 1985 outside the east boundary of the churchyard; excavations have been ongoing since then, carried out by Penk Valley Archaeological Group. The work has shown that occupation of the site dates back to at least the Neolithic period (late Stone Age), with finds from the Bronze Age and Iron Age proving continuing occupation up to and including the Romano-British period. The wing is a 2nd-century addition to a rectangular building in the churchyard; by the 4th century further additions had been made, and the now old 2nd-century villa, including the wing, was rebuilt.

There are extensive ditched enclosures of the 1st and late 2nd centuries, replaced with a walled enclosure in the 4th century when the villa was extended. The size of the final build stretches from the wing, just outside the east boundary, westward to the tower, and is at least 43 metres. This was proved by a watching brief carried out in 2010 during pipework installation for toilet and tea-making facilities in the church.

Notable people

Acton Trussell was the birthplace of entertainer Patrick Fyffe, one half of the popular comedy duo Hinge and Bracket; the characters resided in a fictional village called Stackton Tressel, a name adapted from Fyffe's birthplace.

Damián Casalinuovo

Damián Leandro Casalinuovo (born 6 June 1987) is a retired Argentine professional footballer who played as a striker. Casalinuovo also has an Italian passport, due to descent.

Career

Casalinuovo began his career with Velez Sarsfield, graduating through the youth ranks and featuring twice for the first team. After a year with Platense, Casalinuovo joined Scottish Premier League side Dundee United in 2009. United believed that there would be no transfer fee to pay, but a FIFA tribunal later ordered them to pay €400,000 (reduced to €230,000 on appeal).Raith Rovers in the First Division, scoring on his début, in a 2-0 Fife derby win against Dunfermline Athletic.Partick Thistle at Stark's Park before being recalled in mid-September. In his next game for United, Casalinuovo started his first match and also scored his first goal, netting the winner in the 3–2 victory against St Johnstone.

Damian signed for Hamilton Academical on 31 August 2010 for an undisclosed fee, on a two-year deal.Raith Rovers until the end of the season.

A Cup of Kindness (play)

Ralph Lynn, Winifred Shotter and Tom Walls in 1929 production

A Cup of Kindness is a farce by the English playwright Ben Travers. It was first given at the Aldwych Theatre, London, the sixth in the series of twelve Aldwych farces presented by the actor-manager Tom Walls at the theatre between 1923 and 1933. Several of the actors formed a regular core cast for the Aldwych farces. The play depicts the feud between two suburban families.

The piece opened on 24 May 1929 and ran for 291 performances. Travers made a film adaptation, which Walls directed in 1934, with some of the leading members of the stage cast reprising their roles.

Background

The actor-manager Tom Walls produced the series of Aldwych farces, nearly all written by Ben Travers, starring Walls and his co-star Ralph Lynn, who specialised in playing "silly ass" characters. Walls assembled a regular company of actors to fill the supporting roles, including Robertson Hare, who played a figure of put-upon respectability; Mary Brough in eccentric old lady roles; Ethel Coleridge as the severe voice of authority; Winifred Shotter as the sprightly young female lead; and the saturnine Gordon James.

Walls and his team had already enjoyed five substantial hits at the Aldwych, with It Pays to Advertise (1923), which had run for 598 performances; A Cuckoo in the Nest (1925, 376 performances); Rookery Nook (1926, 409 performances); Thark (1927, 401 performances); and Plunder (1928, 344 performances).Ben Travers. The earlier Travers farces had depicted upper or upper-middle class characters and country houses. For A Cup of Kindness, he turned his attention to middle class suburban life and petty snobbery. Each of the regular members of the team was generally given the same sort of part in the various new plays, but in this one Coleridge played a maid – a grumbling, kindly factotum – rather than her usual bossy authority-figures.

Synopsis

Act I

Ernest Ramsbotham's drawing room, London

Jim Finch, an engaging but dubious businessman, is trying to sell shares to Charlie Tutt, and when he refuses them, to Charlie's prospective father-in-law, Ernest Ramsbotham. Both Charlie and Ernest have bought shares from Finch before, and are not going to do so again, the first lot having lost all their supposed value.

Charlie is in love with Ernest's daughter Betty, but their marriage is opposed by Ernest and by Charlie's father, Fred, who detests Ernest as much as Ernest detests him. The Tutts regard the Ramsbothams as their social inferiors, and the Rambothams are resentful of what they see as the Tutts' show of superiority. This precarious social balance is threatened by the Tutts' secret: Mrs Tutt was once a barmaid. The Ramsbothams know this perfectly well, and any allusion to it by them causes seismic eruptions from Mrs Tutt. The Ramsbothams have their own family embarrassment: Ernest's unhinged uncle Nicholas who lives in their attic, looked after by a flighty nurse, Tilly. Betty and Charlie separately wheedle their fathers; Ernest is won over, and Fred seems on the point of giving in when his younger son, Stanley, arrives. He confesses that he has been sent down from Oxford; the authorities found a young woman in the bathroom of his rooms. This puts Fred in such a temper that he withdraws his tentative approval to the marriage of Charlie and Betty. He warns Charlie that if they marry he will cut off Charlie's allowance. Charlie defiantly replies that he will earn his own living, working with Jim Finch.

Act II

The same, three months later


A Cup of Kindness (play)

Act II

The same, three months later

It is Charlie and Betty's wedding day. The two families, still bickering, are marshalled with considerable difficulty to pose for the group wedding photographs. The proceedings are interrupted by the police. The bridegroom is arrested for fraud. In fact, Charlie, well-meaning but naïve, has no idea what goes on at Jim Finch's firm, where he is a junior partner. Jim has vanished and the police are looking for him. Before Charlie is driven away to Bow Street police station, a furious row breaks out between the elder Rambothams and Tutts. Betty feels that Charlie is siding with his father; she rejects him. He vows that she will come back to him when he is a free man again. Police Inspector Chivers takes him away.

Act III

The same, five days later, evening

Stanley persuades Betty that she has been too hasty. She agrees that she will come back to Charlie and they leave. Fred, who has been on a spree with nurse Tilly and is mellowed by drink, makes his peace with Ernest. The latter has been due to give evidence against Jim and Charlie's firm, with regard to the shares he bought from Jim. They agree – Ernest with some reluctance – that if he sells the shares at a profit to Fred he can conscientiously give evidence in favour of Jim and his firm. Fred, wincing at the cost, buys them.


A Cup of Kindness (play)

Betty returns. She and Charlie are reconciled. Their tête-à-tête is interrupted by a telephone call. The police have found Jim who has revealed everything. Charlie observes that, though innocent, he can hardly plead not guilty if Jim is going to enter a plea of guilty, and so a prison sentence seems inevitable. Jim arrives in person. Charlie has misinterpreted the telephone call: in revealing everything, Jim has demonstrated to the police that there was never any fraud, and that the original shares are now worth vastly more than Ernest or Charlie paid him for them. Ernest is furious at having just parted with what were supposed to be worthless shares, and another row begins between him and Fred. Their wives join in. The commotion is interrupted by the sound of Big Ben striking midnight on the radio, and, à la New Year's Eve, Charlie starts singing Auld Lang Syne; one by one, realising the futility of their feud, the family members join in until they have all linked hands and are singing together.

Reception

The Times commented, "It would be quite beside the point to complain that one Aldwych farce is like any other. An orange is no less succulent for resembling the orange of yesterday." At its best, in the paper's view, "this piece is funny in much the same wildly extravagant way that Mr. Wodehouse's stories are funny. The truth is that Mr. Lynn can be more like a Wodehouse figure of fun than anything Mr. Wodehouse has ever succeeded in creating for the theatre".The Daily Mirror said that there was a laugh in every line of the piece.The Observer, St John Ervine thought that the cast and the author showed signs of fatigue, but he allowed that the piece was "immensely entertaining in parts". He singled out Robertson Hare for particular praise.Ivor Brown in The Manchester Guardian thought that the script needed fine-tuning and concluded, "With time the cast will improve the play; no play could possibly improve the cast".

Saints Maximus and Domatius

Saints Maximos and Domadious are saints in the Coptic Orthodox Church.

Life

Maximos and Domadious were the sons of a Roman governor named Valentinian. Their father was a Christian and raised them as Christians.Nicaea so they could pray where the First Council of Nicaea had taken place. Their father rejoiced and sent a group of soldiers with them. When they arrived at the place, they asked the soldiers to return to their parents and tell them that they had decided to stay there.

They recognized a monk named Hanna who asked them to go to Syria to learn the origins of monastic life by a monk named Aghabus. When Aghabus felt close to the date of his death, he told them that he saw a vision and a man named Macarius of Egypt told him that Maximos and Domadious should go to him in Egypt after his death.

At that time, the Patriarch of Constantinople died. King Theodosius asked to see the monk Maximos to told him he wished to make him the patriarch of Constantinople. When Maximos and Domadious learned of this, they fled together and stayed with one of the shepherds, where they prayed to Christ to guide them to Macarius.

Death

Maximus began to get sick with a violent fever. He asked his younger brother to go to Macarius. And when he came to him, he found him overheated and say "Lord, send me your light to shine in front of me in this way that I do not know. My God and my Creator saved me from the forces of darkness gathered in the air, and repaired my steps in this way to tell you straightly. And be my grace and strength, my God and my lord, because you are the Lord of light and the Savior of the world". And light surrounded the place and a group of prophets, apostles, saints, John the Baptist and the king Constantine were all standing around the saint until he delivered his pure spirit. Macarius cried and said, "Blessed are you Maximos" this was on the 14th of the month of Tobi.


Saints Maximus and Domatius

Dumadios cried bitterly, and asked St. Macarius to ask Christ to bring him to his brother. Three days later, he suffered from a severe fever, and Macarius was told about it and went to visit him. While he was on the way, he stood for a long time looking toward the cave, then turned to the east. Those people with him thought that he was praying but he was contemplating the Church of the Saints who were advancing the spirit of St. Domadius. Macarius looked up at the sky, crying and knocking his chest, saying, "Domadius has departed". This was on the 17th of the month of Tobi.

Macarius built a church in their place of residence, the first church built in the wilderness. Maximos and Domadious were the first monks to die in Šihēt.

The church was expanded in the seventeenth-century (construction of the column-framework tower, topped out with a dome, and accessible from the ground, with soboty (wooden undercut supported by pillars); the side of the church has a small bell tower, with a lantern). In 1819, the sacristy and matroneum was reconstructed, before 1888, covered in a Neo-Gothic polychrome. The interior in the nave is covered with flat slabs, which change in shape, with a rectangular window in the arch, with a wooden crucifix from the sixteenth-century.

Scottish Church College

Scottish Church College is a college affiliated by Calcutta University, India. It offers selective co-educational undergraduate and postgraduate studies and is the oldest continuously running Christian liberal arts and sciences college in Asia.A) by the Indian National Assessment and Accreditation Council. Students and alumni call themselves "Caledonians" in the name of the college festival, "Caledonia".

Foundation

The origins are traceable to the life of Alexander Duff (1806–1878), the first overseas missionary of the Church of Scotland, to India. Known initially as the General Assembly's Institution, it was founded on 13 July 1830.Moulin, Perthshire, located in the Scottish countryside. He attended the University of St Andrews where after graduation, he opted for a missionary life.Lady Holland off Dassen Island, near Cape Town, and later on the ship Moira, near the Ganges delta) and the loss of his personal library consisting of 800 volumes (of which 40 survived), and college prizes, he arrived in Calcutta on 27 May 1830.

Supported by the Governor-General of India Lord William Bentinck,Feringhi Kamal Bose's house, located in upper Chitpore Road, near Jorasanko. In 1836 the institution was moved to Gorachand Bysack's house at Garanhatta.East India Company designed the building. It is possible that he may have been inspired by the facade of the Holy House of Mercy in Macau, which reflects the influence of Portuguese ⁰. Traces of English Palladianism are also evident in the design of the college. The construction of the building was completed in 1839.

Alexander Duff (1806–1878)

Historical context

In the early 1800s, under the regime of the East India Company, English education and Missionary activities were initially suspect.East India Company supported Orientalist instruction in the vernacular languages like Persian, Arabic and Sanskrit, and helped to establish institutions like Calcutta Madrasah College, and Sanskrit College, in general, colonial administrative policy discouraged the dissemination of knowledge in their language, that is in English. The general apathy of the Company towards the cause of education and improvement of natives is in many ways, the background for the agency of missionaries like Duff.


Scottish Church College

Inspired by the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, Reverend Alexander Duff, then a young missionary, arrived in India's colonial capital to set up an English-medium institution. Though Bengalis had shown some interest in the spread of Western education from the beginning of the 19th century, both the local church and government officers were skeptical about the high-caste Bengali's response to the idea of an English-medium institution.James Prinsep were supportive of the idea of vernacular education, Duff and prominent Indians like Raja Ram Mohan Roy supported the use of English as a medium of instruction.

The English language, I repeat it, is the lever which, as the instrument of conveying the entire range of knowledge, is destined to move all Hindustan.

Raja Ram Mohan Roy helped Duff by organizing the venue and bringing in the first batch of students. He also assured the guardians that reading the King James's Bible did not necessarily imply religious conversion, unless that was based on inner spiritual conviction. Imbibing the tenets of the Scottish educational system that shaped his ideals, Duff was, unlike the missionaries and scholars at the Serampore College, wholeheartedly committed to the cause of instruction in the English language, as that facilitated the advanced study of European religion, literature and science. By carefully selecting teachers, European and Indian, who brought out the best of Christian and secular understandings, and by emphasizing advanced pedagogical techniques that emphasized the Socratic method of classroom debate, inquiry, and rational thinking, Duff and his followers established an educational system, whose impact in spreading progressive values in contemporary Bengal would be profound.Bengali language was also emphasized. Duff and his successors also underscored the necessity of sports among his students.political economy as a subject in the curricula, his faced his church's criticism.

The great social reformer Raja Ram Mohan Roy supported Reverend Duff in his efforts.


Scottish Church College

In 1840, Duff returned to India. At the Disruption of 1843, Duff sided with the Free Church. He gave up the college buildings, with all their effects and established a new institution, called the Free Church Institution.James Outram and Sir Henry Lawrence, and the encouragement of seeing a new band of converts, including several young men born of high caste. In 1844, governor-general Viscount Hardinge opened government appointments to all who had studied in institutions similar to Duff's institution. In the same year, Duff co-founded the Calcutta Review, of which he served as editor from 1845 to 1849. In 1857, when the University of Calcutta was established, the Free Church Institution was one of its earliest affiliates, and Duff would also serve in the university's first senate.

Along with Raja Ram Mohan Roy, the great social reformer often called the father of modern India, Dr. Duff supported Lord Macaulay in drafting his influential Minute for the introduction of English education in India. Eminent contemporary and successive missionary scholars from Scotland, notably Dr. Ogilvie, Dr. Hastie,William Spence Urquhart contributed in spreading liberal Western education. The institutions founded by Duff have been coterminous with other contemporary institutions like the Serampore College, and the Hindu College in ushering the spirit of intellectual inquiry and a general acceptance of the ideals of the Enlightenment among Bengali Hindus, the then dominant indigenous ethno-linguistic group in the Company administered Indian territories. This exchange of ideas and ideals, and adoption of progressive values that would eventually influence many social reform movements in South Asia, has been widely regarded by historians specializing in nineteenth century India, as the epochs of the Young Bengal Movement and later, the Bengal Renaissance.


Scottish Church College

Duff's contemporaries included Reverend Mackay, Reverend Ewart and Reverend Thomas Smith. Till the early 20th century the norm was to bring teachers from Scotland, and this brought forth scholars like William Spence Urquhart, Henry Stephen, H.M. Percival etc. Indian scholars were also engaged as teachers by the college authorities, and the notable faculty includes names like Surendranath Banerjee, Kalicharan Bandyopadhyay, Jnan Chandra Ghosh, Gouri Shankar Dey, Adhar Chandra Mukhopadhyay, Sushil Chandra Dutta, Mohimohan Basu, Sudhir Kumar Dasgupta, Nirmal Chandra Bhattacharya, Bholanath Mukhopadhyay and Kalidas Nag, all of whom had all contributed to enhancing the academic standards of the college.

The college authorities played a pioneering role in promoting gender equality by emphasizing the significance of women's education. During much of the nineteenth century, the college remained the only institution of its kind in the city of Calcutta (and indeed in the country) to promote the cause of co-education.Scottish co-operation.

Schwalldorf

Schwalldorf (pronounced [ˈʃvaldɔʁf]) is a suburban district of Rottenburg am Neckar in the administrative district of Tübingen in Baden-Württemberg (Germany).

Geography

Schwalldorf is located 7 km (4.35 mi) southwestern from Rottenburg am Neckar on the Gäu-Plateau with an elevation from 360 to 492 m.

Extent

The area of the district is 581 hectares (1,440 acres). Of the district's area, 65.1% is used for agricultural purposes, 25.6% is forest area, 8.6% consists of settlements and roads, and 2.2% other.

Neighbour localities

The territories of the following villages adjoin Schwalldorf; they are, clockwise, beginning with the north: Bad Niedernau, Weiler, Dettingen, Hirrlingen, Frommenhausen, Bieringen and Obernau (all in the admin. district of Tübingen). All bordering villages, except for Hirrlingen, are suburbs of Rottenburg am Neckar.

Population

With a population of 781 people (31 January 2008), Schwalldorf is among the smaller districts of Rottenburg. With an area of 5.81 km2 (2.2 sq mi), this corresponds to a population density of 134 people per km2, or 348 per sq mi.

Faiths

The population of the village is predominantly Roman Catholic. About 100 people are evangelical. A small amount are nondenominational or members of another denomination.

History

Around 1100 Schwalldorf was mentioned for the first time in a paper from the Hirsau Abbey (German: Kloster Hirsau). In that document a nobleman Fridericus de Swaldorff (Frederic of Schwalldorf) was mentioned. The first official reference in a deed of gift dates from 7 July 1304. Heinrich der Amman (Henry the Amman), the reeve of the Counts of Hohenberg, gave a gift to the Dominican nunnery in Kirchberg: a manor in Schwalldorf. Based on that document, the village celebrated its 700th anniversary in 2004.


Schwalldorf

However, it is assumed that the village is much older. The suffix "-dorf" gives a reason to suppose an appearance in the 7th or 8th century. Scores of excavation findings also allude to it, but the only real record is the deed of gift from 7 July 1304.

In 1357 a chapel was mentioned.parish of Dettingen, which belonged to the commandry of the Knights Hospitaller in Hemmendorf. In a deed of 28 August 1437 a Kaplanei (vicariate) was founded in Schwalldorf. In the deed the patron Saint Andrew was mentioned for the first time. In 1507 Schwalldorf got its own parish. The chapel became a parish church.

From 1381 to 1806 the village belonged to the territory of Niederhohenberg (Lower Hohenberg) of the County of Hohenberg. In 1381 Rudolf III, Count of Hohenberg, sold the county in large part to the House of Habsburg. Schwalldorf and large parts of the county thus became a part of Further Austria. For this reason the reformation could not take place around Rottenburg. All thoughts of reformation were defeated by the archduke of Austria. The exclave of Austria remained Catholic. In 1805 the county was assigned to the Dukedom of Württemberg by the Peace of Pressburg. Württemberg became a kingdom in 1806, a few days after the treaty was enacted.

When in 1807 the Oberamt Rottenburg (Oberamt of Württemberg) was founded, Schwalldorf became a part of it. Rottenburg was also the domicile of an Austrian Oberamt before the county came to Württemberg. In 1934 the appellation Oberamt was replaced by Kreis ('district'). The District of Rottenburg was dissolved in 1938 and merged into the District of Tübingen. Since then Schwalldorf has been a part of the District of Tübingen. On 1 January 1972 the municipality of Schwalldorf was incorporated into the town of Rottenburg am Neckar.

Advisory body


Schwalldorf

Advisory body

In Schwalldorf there has been a village court since the 15th century, which was directed by the Schultheiß. The village court is regarded as the precursor of the later council. The names of the councillors of the former municipality of Schwalldorf are passed down since 1932. The council of the former municipality had up to ten councillors in the terms of office since 1932.

In 1972 the council of the municipality was dissolved and replaced by an advisory body (German: Ortschaftsrat) in the course of the incorporation of the municipality into the Town of Rottenburg. The advisory body is elected by the citizens of the village for a period of five years. The advisory body represents the interests of the citizens of the suburb towards the town administration and the town council. Thereby the advisory body acts as administrative body. In the first session the advisory body also elects the local representative for a period of five years. The currentBürgerliste Schwalldorf ('Citizen's List Schwalldorf').

Coat of arms

Coat of arms of Schwalldorf

The coat of arms of the village was designed in 1952. It was adopted as official seal by the Municipality of Schwalldorf. The coat of arms shows a blue swallow and a blue auger snail divided by a blue waved fess on a silver shield. The blue auger snail below the waved fess refers to the Schneckenhof ('snail yard'), which is one of the two settlement cores the village emerged from. The blue waved fess shows a water amount and interprets the name of Schwalldorf, that shall derive from a well. In the area of the village, however, there is no water. Another theory, which is more folk etymological, is represented by the blue swallow (German: Schwalbe) above the fess. Due to the fact that the village is a Frankish-Alemannic village, the most likely theory is that the village name derives from an Alemannic clan ruler named Swalo.

St Andrew's parish church

Today's parish church was built in 1733 in baroque style and is consecrated to the Holy Andrew. Earlier there was a chapel which was mentioned for the first time in 1357, and that was, according to a document from 1437, consecrated to Saint Andrew as well. In 1507 Schwalldorf got its own parish and the chapel became a parish church. When the old church became too small for the growing congregation, it was decided to build a new church in 1732.

Regular events

Regular events

  * Swabian-Alemannic Fasnet: The Fasnet ('Swabian-Alemannic Carnival') has a high significance in the area of Rottenburg. A Vassnacht was first documented in Rottenburg in the 15th century. In the Catholic town of Rottenburg and nearby, wild parties have become a tradition. The first carnival group in Schwalldorf was the Elbenlocher Hexen ('witches of the Elbenloch'), in Swabian dialect Elbaloch Hexa. It was founded in 1984. The Elbenloch is a forest on the boundary of Schwalldorf. According to a legend the Elbenloch was a meeting place for witches in the Middle Ages. During the Middle Ages, Rottenburg was a center for witch hunts. The carnival group Elbenlocher Hexen is an allusion to that. In 1989 the Narrenzunft Schwalldorf ('Schwalldorf Carnival Guild') was founded. Nowadays the Carnival Guild has three carnival groups, two music groups and several single characters. The Fasnet season begins officially on 6 January with the traditional dusting of the wood masks. The so-called Fleggafasnet (Swabian for 'village carnival') with the parade takes place on Saturday, one week before the Hauptfasnet ('Main Fasnet'). The Hauptfasnet is the time from Fat Thursday to Ash Wednesday and is the high season for carnival in Rottenburg. In the past few years,
  * Onion Tart Festival: On the last weekend of summer vacation (usually the first or second weekend in September), local associations arrange the Zwiebelbeeten Fest ('Onion Tart Festival'). It is a small contemplative festival in the village core. The festival has been held since 1986 and has established itself as a village fair.

Infrastructure

The village is remote from primary traffic routes. Unlike in other suburbs of Rottenburg, a great population increase has not been registered in the past decades.

Telecommunication


Schwalldorf

Telecommunication

Until a modification of the local network in 2005, internet access was only possible with ISDN. Since then DSL light (384 kbit/s) has been available on some streets. A faster Internet connection is not possible due to old wires. A modernization of the connection is refused by Deutsche Telekom because of little profitability. The village has about 250 households. Deutsche Telekom requires a minimum number of 300 households demanding a faster connection in order for the old wires to be replaced; though there are those, especially seniors, who are not interested in a faster broadband connection.

Several suburbs of Rottenburg are concerned about slow internet connection speeds. In July 2008 a citizens' group for DSL was founded in Bieringen, a neighboring village of Schwalldorf. The aim was to reach a faster Internet connection by radio. In addition a radio mast would have had to be built on the plateau near Schwalldorf. However, in August the plan was canceled, because the town administration of Rottenburg announced an open call for tender. If the project succeeds, DSL at a speed of probably 16,000 kbit/s will be available in Schwalldorf.{{

Traffic

The Kreisstraße 6943 (K 6943, district road 6943) leads from Bad Niedernau (Rottenburg) or Frommenhausen into the village. The road was formerly known as Landstraße 392 (L 392, state road 392), before it was downgraded to a district road. The K 6943 serves as a communication road between the L 370 (Horb-Rottenburg-Tübingen) and the L 392 (Hirrlingen-Felldorf). It discharges into the L 392 in Frommenhausen and into the L 370 next to Bad Niedernau. The volume of traffic is low, so there is very little noise exposure.
