The Sir Michael Uren Hub is a 13-storey building on the north side of the elevated A40 Westway in London, designed by Allies and Morrison for the purpose of Imperial College's biomedical engineering research. It contains a 160-seat auditorium, social space, cleanrooms, and futuristic outpatients. It is named for engineer Sir Michael Uren and built using his engineered cement substitute, ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS). It houses the School of Public Health’s Environmental Research Group, the Musculoskeletal Laboratory (MSk lab) and the National Heart and Lung Institute (NHLI). Location The Sir Michael Uren Hub is situated on Wood Lane, Shepherd's Bush, London. To its north is a 34-storey tower, to its east is an incubator building, and to its south is an elevated section of the A40 Westway. History In 2014 Imperial College London announced that it was to build a biomedical engineering centre supported by a £40 million donation from Sir Micheal Uren and his foundation, at Imperial West, the College's 25-acre research and innovation campus in White City, west London. The purpose was to house Imperial's biomedical and healthcare researchers, engineers, scientists and clinicians, along with spin-out companies, in one building. Work on the site began in January 2017. It officially opened in December 2020. Design The 13-storey Hub was designed by architects Allies and Morrison, and the project was managed by Turner & Townsend, with mechanical and engineering consultants Buro Happold. Autodesk Revit provided the CAD software, and the building was inspected by Bureau Veritas. ISG Ltd was the contractor. Structural features The building has a triangular base and covers 18,150 square metres. It has two long sides, covered in 1,300 GGBS containing four metre high vertical precast concrete fins, of which there are nine types. GGBS, a waste by-product of coal-fired power stations, was developed by Uren's company as a substitute for cement which produces a fraction of the carbon emissions. The fins act to shade from the sun. It contains a 160-seat auditorium, social space, cleanrooms, and futuristic outpatients. It houses the School of Public Health’s Environmental Research Group led by Frank Kelly, the MSk Lab led by Justin Cobb and Alison McGregor, the Dementia Research Institute, the Centre for Cardiovascular Bioengineering, and 20 companies. Members of the National Heart and Lung Institute (NHLI) occupy space on the ninth floor. It has space for functions and exhibitions in the main entrance, adjacent to the ground floor cafe. The auditorium and its foyer on the lower ground floor can be accessed via the main entrance and the research floors above can be accessed via secure entry. A discrete second entrance near a vehicle drop-off - pick-up point serves the clinical facility. There are toilets on all floors.

USCGC Thunder Bay (WTGB-108) is the eighth vessel of the built in 1985 and operated by the United States Coast Guard. The ship was named after a bay in the U.S. state of Michigan on Lake Huron. Design The Bay-class tugboats operated primarily for domestic ice breaking duties. They are named after American Bays and are stationed mainly in the northeast United States and the Great Lakes. WTGBs use a low pressure air hull lubrication or bubbler system that forces air and water between the hull and ice. This system improves icebreaking capabilities by reducing resistance against the hull, reducing horsepower requirements. Construction and career Thunder Bay was built by the Bay City Marine Inc., in Tacoma, Washington in 1985. She was launched on 31 July 1985 and later commissioned in 1986. On 1 May 2015, the ninth annual Appreciation Dinner was held by the Rockland Coast Guard City Committee, in which it honors the commanders and crews of the Rockland Station's three cutters, Thunder Bay, and were introduced, as well as the personnel at Coast Guard Station Rockland. On 4 February 2021, Thunder Bay conducted a icebreaking mission at the Penobscot River. On 18 June, the ship finished the In-Service Vessel Sustainment program and departed Coast Guard Yard in Curtis Bay, Maryland.

IHCH-7113 is a drug which acts as an agonist at the 5-HT2A serotonin receptor. It was derived by structural simplification of the 5-HT2A antagonist atypical antipsychotic drug lumateperone along with several related compounds such as IHCH-7079 and IHCH-7086, which were found to be nonhallucinogenic biased 5-HT2A agonists that were active in antidepressant assays but did not produce psychedelic-like responding in mice. IHCH-7113 however produced a head-twitch response comparable to that of DOI or LSD, which was blocked by the 5-HT2A antagonist MDL100907.

HMS Mameluke was a which served with the Royal Navy during the First World War. The M class was an improvement on the preceding , capable of higher speeds. The ship, the first Royal Navy vessel to be named after the Mamelukes, a class of ex-slaves that ruled Egypt, was launched on 14 August 1915. The destroyer joined the Twelfth Destroyer Flotilla and, although under refit during the Battle of Jutland and so unable to participate, later took part in anti-submarine operations as part of this flotilla, although no submarines were sighted or sunk. The conditions of service in the North Sea meant that the destroyer was soon worn out and, after the armistice, Mameluke was placed in reserve. Despite a service life of only six years, the vessel was decommissioned and, on 22 September 1921, sold to be broken up. Design and development Mameluke was one of the nine s ordered by the British Admiralty in November 1914 as part of the Second Emergency War Programme. The M-class was an improved version of the earlier destroyers, designed to reach a higher speed in order to counter rumoured German fast destroyers, although it transpired these vessels did not exist. The destroyer was long overall, with a beam of and a draught of . Displacement was normal and full load. Power was provided by three Yarrow boilers feeding two Brown-Curtis steam turbines rated at and driving two shafts, to give a design speed of . The destroyer was fitted with three funnels and carried a total of of oil, which gave a design range of at . Armament consisted of three Mk IV QF guns on the ship's centreline, with one on the forecastle, one aft on a raised platform and one between the middle and aft funnels. A single 2-pounder (40 mm) pom-pom anti-aircraft gun was carried, while torpedo armament consisted of two twin mounts for torpedoes. Initially, the ship carried no fire-control system, but during 1916 the vessel was equipped with a single Dumaresq analogue computer and a Vickers range clock. The ship had a complement of 76 officers and ratings. Construction and career Mameluke was laid down by John Brown & Company of Clydebank on 23 December 1914 with the yard number 439, launched on 14 August the following year and completed on 30 Octobter. The destroyer was the first vessel in the British navy to be named after the Mamelukes, ex-slaves that formed a powerful military force and founded a Sultanate that ruled Egypt. The ship was deployed as part of the Grand Fleet, joining the newly formed Twelfth Destroyer Flotilla. Mameluke was undergoing refit in May 1916 and so missed the Battle of Jutland. On 24 August, the vessel, as part of the Twelfth Flotilla, unsuccessfully searched for the German submarine which had sunk the armed boarding steamer . The flotilla subsequently took part in a large exercise with other flotillas and fleets of the Grand Fleet, led by the dreadnought battleship , between 22 and 24 November. The destroyer was also involved in anti-submarine patrols between 15 and 22 June the following year. Once again, Mameluke did not see or attack any enemy vessels. The harsh conditions of wartime operations, particularly the combination of high speed and the poor weather that is typical of the North Sea, exacerbated by the fact that the hull was not galvanised, meant that the destroyer was soon worn out from such service. After the armistice, the Royal Navy returned to a peacetime level of mobilisation and Mameluke was declared superfluous to operational requirements. On 15 October 1919, the destroyer was given a reduced complement and placed in reserve at Devonport. However, this did not last long and, after being decommissioned, on 22 September 1921, Mameluke was sold to G Cohen to be broken up in Germany.

St Giles' Church, Goodrich, Herefordshire, England is an Anglican parish church in the Diocese of Hereford. The church dates from the 13th century, although almost all of the current building is of the 14th century, or from the 19th century restoration. It is an active parish church and a Grade II* listed building. History The church's origins are of the 13th century. The church was developed, along with the village of Goodrich, in parallel with the expansion of Goodrich Castle by Godric of Mappestone and subsequently the powerful de Clare family. The tower dates from the 14th century. During the English Civil War the vicar was Thomas Swift, grandfather of Jonathon Swift, whose strongly Royalist sympathies led the family to relocate to Ireland. The building was heavily restored by John Pollard Seddon from 1870. St Giles remains an active parish church in the benefice of Goodrich and Welsh Bicknor. Architecture and description The church is constructed of red sandstone rubble. The tower dates from the 14th century, and the church has a double-aisle. The interior contains much linenfold panelling, some reputed to come from a nearby country house, Hill Court. Alan Brooks, in his 2012 revised Herefordshire volume of the Pevsner Buildings of England, suggests another source as Goodrich Court, the demolished house of Samuel Rush Meyrick, whose tomb, with that of his son, stands in the churchyard. Much restoration was carried out in the later 19th century by Seddon, a prolific church restorer, often in partnership with John Prichard. The steeple is topped by a weathervane in the form of a cockerel. Designed by a metal worker, John Rudge, of Ross-on-Wye, it dates from the 18th century. Listing designations St Giles is a Grade II* listed building. The church and its churchyard contain 27 listed memorials, all at Grade II. Within the church these include: the Eyles Monument, and two chest tombs. Those within the churchyard include: the base and shaft of the churchyard cross, now converted to a sundial; three groups of headstones; the Tovey Monument; the Williams Monument; headstones commemorating Elizabeth Roberts and Anne Weaver; the Fisher Monument; a memorial to Isabella Wolfe; the Meyrick Memorial; three chest tombs; the Gritton Monument; a headstone with an undecipherable inscription; the Harper Monument; the Jenings Headstone; the Edwards Monument; a stone bench; two memorials to the Fletcher Family; a monument to William Fisher; the Gwilliam Monument; the Miles Monument; and a pedestal tomb.

The Ciudad Juárez cobalt-60 contamination incident (sometimes referred to as the "Mexican Chernobyl") was a radioactive contamination incident that occurred in 1984 in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico, originating from a radiation therapy unit illegally purchased by a private medical company and subsequently dismantled for lack of personnel to operate it. The radioactive material ended up in a junkyard, where it was sold to foundries that inadvertently smelted it with other metals and produced about six thousand tons of contaminated rebar. These were distributed in 17 Mexican states and several cities in the United States. It is estimated that four thousand people were exposed to radiation as a result of this incident. Accident Events In November 1977, the Centro Médico de Especialidades, a private hospital in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, purchased a radiotherapy unit that utilized cobalt-60, which had been introduced to Mexico without complying with current regulations. The equipment was kept in storage for almost six years because the hospital lacked qualified personnel to operate it. Vicente Sotelo Alardín, then an employee of the medical center, dismantled the unit on December 6, 1983 to sell it as scrap metal at the Fénix junkyard at the request of the hospital's maintenance manager. Sotelo had disassembled the head of the radioactive unit and extracted a cylinder containing the cobalt-60 source. He then loaded the material into his truck, where he drilled into the cylinder, causing some cobalt-60 granules to spill into the bed of the vehicle. The truck, now contaminated by the cobalt-60, subsequently suffered a mechanical failure upon Sotelo's return from the junkyard and remained immobile near his home in Ciudad Juárez for 40 days. Meanwhile, at the junkyard, the use of electromagnets for handling the scrap caused the cobalt-60 granules to spread throughout the yard. The fine granules were attracted to the magnetic fields of the other electromagnetic cranes in the yard and eventually mixed in with other metals. This radioactive scrap was sent to two foundries: Aceros de Chihuahua (Achisa), a construction rebar factory in the state capital of Chihuahua City, and Falcon, a manufacturer of table bases. It is estimated that, by January 1984, these had already been exported to the United States and the interior of Mexico. Detection of radioactive material On January 16, 1984, a radiation detector at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, located in New Mexico, United States, detected the presence of radioactivity in the vicinity. The detector went off because a truck carrying rebar produced by Achisa had taken an accidental detour and passed near the laboratory. U.S. authorities realized that the rebar triggered the alert and swiftly notified Mexico's National Nuclear Safety and Safeguards Commission (CNSNS) on January 18. CNSNS confirmed a wide dispersion of radioactive material had occurred and ordered Achisa to suspend the distribution of manufactured rebar until it was verified that it was not contaminated. Mexican authorities also proceeded to close the junkyard. On January 26, 1984, CNSNS personnel detected an abandoned truck emitting radiation levels of up to a thousand roentgens per hour. Since the vehicle was in a densely populated area, it was towed by a crane to El Chamizal Park. Having discovered the vehicle, CNSNS was able to track down Vicente Sotelo, who confirmed ownership and clarified that he worked at the Specialty Medical Center. Upon further investigation, the CNSNS concluded that, in addition to the Fénix junkyard, Achisa, and Falcon, three other companies had received contaminated material: Fundival, located in Gómez Palacio, Durango; Alumetales, in Monterrey, Nuevo León; and Duracero, in San Luis Potosí City, San Luis Potosí. It was estimated that the contaminated material had made its way into 30,000 table bases and 6,600 tons of rebar. Aftermath Recovery and cleanup of radioactive material Decontamination began on January 20, 1984, two days after CNSNS was notified by U.S. authorities. Between February 8 and April 14, work was carried out to locate and isolate contaminated material in the Fénix junkyard. Decontamination work was also carried out at the Achisa and Falcon foundries during this period, in addition to tracking shipments with contaminated rebar that had been dispatched to 17 Mexican states. CNSNS managed to recover 2,360 tons of unused rebar. It visited over 17,000 buildings suspected to be built with contaminated rebar, and determined that 814 structures would need to be demolished due to unacceptable levels of radiation. CNSNS also managed to recover all of the 30,000 contaminated table bases, in addition to about 90% of the thousand tons of contaminated rebar that had been exported to the United States. However, by June 1984, over a thousand tons of contaminated rebar remained unaccounted for, having been shipped to the states of Chihuahua, Sonora, Sinaloa, Baja California, Baja California Sur, Coahuila, Nuevo León, San Luis Potosí, Guanajuato, Jalisco, Zacatecas, Tamaulipas, Querétaro, Durango, and Hidalgo. The work of retrieving the radioactive rebar was more complicated in these states. 434 tons of rebar were identified in Sonora, scattered throughout the state, including in the capital Hermosillo. 80 tons of rebar had been shipped to Hidalgo and distributed among nine municipalities there, while 42 tons were recovered from the cities of Zacatecas and Fresnillo in Zacatecas. In those states, hundreds of fences and homes built with contaminated material had to be demolished. Storage of radioactive material In February 1984, the CNSNS identified a site in the Samalayuca desert for the construction of a "cemetery" facility known as La Piedrera to house the radioactive material, where the rebar collected in Chihuahua was eventually stored in September 1984. Material collected in other areas was stored at facilities in Maquixco, Mexico State (70 tons) and Mexicali, Baja California (115 tons). According to CNSNS figures, 2,930 tons of contaminated rebar, 1,738 tons of contaminated unprocessed metal, 200 tons of metal table bases, 1,950 tons of contaminated scrap, 860 tons of containers with other contaminated material, and 29,191 tons of contaminated soil, slag, and plaster were stored in La Piedrera. In 2001, a report by El Universal informed that 110 tons of radioactive waste from the Ciudad Juárez incident had been kept outdoors. The material had been stored in the Sierra de Nombre de Dios between 1985 and 1998, and then transferred to Samalayuca, where it was deposited without proper shielding. In 2004, an analysis by the National Autonomous University of Mexico revealed that radiation levels in Samalayuca were still alarmingly high and heavily criticized the fact that the waste had been stored without adequate containment measures. Population exposure According to the 1985 CNSNS report, about four thousand people were exposed to cobalt-60 radiation as a result of the incident. It is estimated that almost 80 percent of people received a dose less than 500 mrem (equivalent to 0.005 Sv); 18 percent, between 0.5 and 25 rems (0.005-0.25 Sv); and only two percent (about 80 people) received doses greater than 25 rems (0.25 Sv). Of these, five people received a dose between 300 and 700 rems (3-7 Sv). CNSNS also examined Vicente Sotelo's neighbors, determining that three of them had received a dose above 100 rems (1 Sv).

Ali ibn Abi Sa'id, also known as Dhu'l-Qalamayn, was an early 9th-century Abbasid official and military commander in the service of Caliph al-Ma'mun. According to al-Ya'qubi, he was the maternal cousin of the Khurasani brothers al-Fadl ibn Sahl and al-Hasan ibn Sahl, two of al-Ma'mun's most powerful officials. Al-Tabari on the other hand considers him as the son of their sister. He appears in the aftermath of the Siege of Baghdad and al-Ma'mun's victory in the civil war with his brother al-Amin. Al-Hasan was appointed by al-Ma'mun as governor and viceroy of an extensive portion of the Abbasid empire, from Jibal and Fars to Iraq, the Hejaz, and Yemen. Al-Hasan appointed Ali as his deputy for the land tax (kharaj) collection in Iraq. In 815 he was one of the chief commanders that put down the Alid uprising of Abu al-Saraya al-Sari ibn Mansur in Iraq, defeating the rebel forces at al-Mada'in in late May, recapturing Wasit, and finally capturing Basra from its cruel Alid governor, Zayd ibn Musa al-Kadhim. In the aftermath, he sent a number of his commanders to suppress the offshoots of the uprising in the Hejaz, under Isa ibn Yazid. He quickly distanced himself from al-Hasan ibn Sahl, and returned to the Caliph in Merv, in the company of al-Hasan's rival, the commander Harthama ibn A'yan. When Baghdad revolted against al-Ma'mun under his uncle Ibrahim ibn al-Mahdi, the Sahlid brothers were blamed by al-Ma'mun's entourage. Especially al-Fadl was accused of concealing the true state of affairs from the caliph. Ali was one of the commanders who testified against the Sahlids, after al-Ma'mun had personally guaranteed their own safety from reprisals. This prompted al-Ma'mun's decision to leave Merv and return to Baghdad. Nevertheless, the commanders were imprisoned and mistreated by al-Fadl, who suspected their involvement in this decision. When al-Fadl was assassinated in February 818, some the murderers, once apprehended, named Ali as the mastermind of the assassination. Although both Ali and the other imprisoned commanders denied their involvement, al-Ma'mun had them executed, and their severed heads sent to al-Hasan ibn Sahl in Iraq along with news of his brother's fate.

Nakas (; ) also known as Maly Nakas, is a mountain in the Southern Urals, Russian Federation. Its largest part is in Orenburg Oblast, with a small section in Bashkortostan. Geography The Nakas rises in northern Tyulgansky District, near the border with Bashkortostan. Rather than a mountain or ridge the Nakas is an elevated area, where its high summit —the highest point of Orenburg Oblast— is only a slightly bulging plateau. Despite the lack of pronounced relief the Nakas forms an important drainage divide, separating the basins of the Belaya, Salmysh and Bolshoy Ik rivers. Flora Nakas is a relatively woody area; its oak and linden forests stand out in the surrounding steppes of the region. The Nakas includes the Tugustemirov Forest, a protected area with a number of tree and rare plant species.

Birmingham Market Hall was a municipal market hall in the Bull Ring area of Birmingham, England (and part of the city centre there), from 1835 to 1940, when the interior and roof were destroyed by enemy bombing; although parts remained in use until final demolition in the 1960s. Background Urban population increases in 18th & 19th century England and Wales arising out of industrialisation, gave impetus to changes in the ownership and provision of physical market places for the sale of foodstuffs and other products in towns and cities. More than 300 Acts of Parliament were passed between 1801 and 1880 allowing nascent local governments to acquire market rights from their manorial holders, and to fund the construction of market facilities. From about 1800, market halls emerged as the 'perfect form' of the market place, and town followed town in bringing their markets indoors into roofed buildings supplying amenities such as water and heating. In particular, St. John's Market, a capacious market hall constructed in Liverpool from 1820 to 1822, came to be taken as a model for other locations, including Birmingham. In the late 18th century, Birmingham's street commissioners were authorised to buy and demolish houses in the town centre, including houses surrounding the Bull Ring, and to centre all market activity in the area. A wide area fronting St Martin's Church formed the marketplace. The Street Commissioners decided that a sheltered market hall was needed, with powers granted by the Improvement Act of 1828 (9 Geo. IV). They bought the market rights from the lord of the manor and, by 1832, all properties on site had been purchased, with exception of two, whose owners demanded a higher price. To fund the purchase of these properties, two buildings were constructed either side of the market hall and the leases sold at auction. Railways arrived in Birmingham in 1837, shortly after the hall opened, facilitating the supply of fresh produce from further afield. Subsequently, New Street (1854) and Moor Street (1909) railway stations were built, opposite the west and east ends of the market hall, respectively. Design Construction of the Market Hall, designed by Charles Edge (the architect who completed Birmingham Town Hall) in the Classical style, began with the laying of a foundation stone on 28 February 1833. It was completed by Dewsbury and Walthews at a cost of £20,000 (£44,800 if the price of acquiring the land is included) and opened on 12 February 1835, containing 600 market stalls. The building was grand and the façade consisted of Bath stone. Two large Doric columns supported a wide entrance at each end of the building. At the end of the market day, metal gates were pulled in front of the entrances. The Market Hall contained an area of , being long, wide, and high. The hall fronted onto High Street (no longer extant south of its junction with New Street) to its east, with another entrance up steep steps, on Worcester Street to the east. Phillips Street (now a tunnel linking Smallbrook Street to Moor Street) was to its north, and Bell Street (now lost) to its south. The site sloped steeply down, to the south. Operation Smoking was prohibited inside the Hall, and dogs were not allowed. Traders were not allowed to wash or clean vegetables after 9am. The hall is noted as a pioneer in the supply and promotion of fish as part of its urban population's diet, and by the 1880s is seen as responsible for fish entering the daily diet of the vast majority of the West Midlands population. A separate wholesale Fish Market building, across Bell Street from the market hall, opened in 1869 and was extended in 1883. Birmingham was granted a Charter of Incorporation in 1838, and the first Birmingham Town Council was elected later that year, taking on responsibility for the town's markets from 1851. It became a city in 1889. A January 1849 meeting of the Market Committee of the Street Commissioners resolved to make improvements to the hall, including seven new fish, game and poultry shops, and twelve butchers shops, to be "fitted with a water tap and independent drain". The improvements were in place by 1851. In 1867 a fire occurred in the hall; the cause was believed to be the spontaneous combustion of lucifer matches. The hall was under the purview of the Birmingham Market Police, from their establishment under section 104 of the Birmingham Corporation (Consolidation) Act 1883. Interior The roof was supported by cast iron columns. Lighting Gas lighting was used from the beginning, extending the business hours for the market. In later years the market hall was illuminated by electric arc lighting; a 1902 article notes that the blue colour of the light "gave to the fruit, flowers, and meat a peculiar hue which spoilt their fresh appearance, raised doubts, and caused people to hang back from investment." Many stallholders installed additional gas lighting to remediate the issue. Fountain In the centre of the long, wide and tall hall was an ornate bronze fountain, designed and made by Messenger and Sons, and given by the Street Commissioners upon their retirement in 1851. The base was made from Yorkshire sandstone and was in diameter. It was in the form of a Greek tazza and cost £900. On the inside of the bowl were eight lions' heads from which water was ejected. The entire fountain was tall and in the centre was a tall statue, consisting of four children representative of each of Birmingham's main four industries; gun making, glass-blowing, bronzing and engineering. The fountain was inaugurated by the Chairman of the Market Committee, John Cadbury, on 24 December 1851. The fountain was removed in 1880 with the intention of re-erecting it in Highgate Park later that year but this did not happen and it was destroyed in 1923. The fountain was depicted, in situ, in an 1880 watercolour painting by Walter Langley, which is now in the collection of Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery. Clock In 1936 a clock, formerly in the Imperial Arcade at Dale End, was restored - at the behest of Percy Shurmer - and installed. Crafted by William Potts and Sons of Leeds in 1883, and restored by them, it consisted of over-life-size figures of Guy of Warwick, the Countess, a retainer and a Saracen, and had bells (recast in 1935 by John Taylor & Co. of Loughborough) that struck the hours and Westminster Quarters. Destruction The interior (including the clock) and roof of the hall were destroyed on the night of 25 August 1940 after being set on fire by incendiary bombs, during an air raid of the Birmingham Blitz. Only the exterior walls remained. The site remained in use, with covered market stalls erected within the shell of the building. Small exhibitions also continued to be held here. The last remains were demolished in 1963. The site was then landscaped as an open space, Manzoni Gardens, being replaced in turn when the Bullring shopping mall was constructed in the early 21st century. The area is now part of the Ladywood constituency.

Langton House or Langton Mansion located at 12, Welsh Back, Bristol, was a Jacobean house, built by John Langton, a merchant of Bristol who became mayor of the city in 1628. It is notable for its elaborate interiors. The house was demolished in 1906, but much of the internal fittings survive, mostly at New Place, a house in Hampshire designed by Edwin Lutyens. 1623-1906 John Langton (1600-1645–6) was a merchant who was mayor of Bristol in 1628, and a Warden of the Society of Merchant Adventurers (1630–31). The house on Welsh Back was built between 1623 and 1628. The State Room, which would have been the main showpiece for Langton as mayor, is notable for its fireplace, its doorway, and its plaster ceiling. The fireplace has double fluted ionic columns supporting a wide frieze in three parts. The centre section, with a royal coat of arms, projects slightly, supported by corbels. The outer sections have caryatid pilasters. The doorway is of mahogany, a rare material in England at this time, with columns inlaid with ivory and mother-of-pearl. A statue of Justice occupies the main panel. The house remained in the Langton family until around 1730. In 1732 it was occupied by Arthur Taylor, a distiller and chief magistrate. In 1779 it was the residence of John Davies, a tobacconist. The house fell into disrepair, and was used as a tobacco factory from about 1816 until its demolition in 1906. Removal and preservation 1906 Most of the interior fittings were removed and installed in New Place, Shirrell Heath, Hampshire, a house designed by Edwin Lutyens specifically for this purpose. The house was commissioned by Mrs A. S. Franklyn in 1904, who had inherited Langton House from her father, a partner in the tobacco firm Franklyn, Morgan and Davy The fittings included the State Room, the less elaborate Dining Room, and a staircase with heraldic beasts surmounting the newel posts. Another fireplace from Langton House is to be found in the Assize Court in Bristol.

Rhynchostylis cymifera is a species of orchid endemic to India. The specific epithet "cymifera", meaning "cyme bearing", refers to the pendent, basipetal, cymose inflorescences, which are very atypical for the genus and separates this species from others. Its morphology is very similar to Rhynchostylis retusa. Flowering occurs from May to June. Conservation This species is rarely recorded (nine times to date) and is regarded as critically endangered. However an assesment by the IUCN has still not been made. Anthropogenic habitat destruction and wildfires pose a risk to the species. References cymifera Flora of India Plants described in 2018
The Phoenician Sphinx inscription, also known as the Abdadoni inscription is an inscription found at Umm al-Amad, Lebanon. The inscription is written on the socle of a status of a couching sphinx, with only the feet and ankles still attached. The body of the sphinx was found lying next to it, but the head was not found. The inscription stated that the statue was dedicated to Milk'ashtart El - Hammon. It was found to the right of an entrance to one of the buildings on the east side, at the edge of the street. It was one of a number of sphinx fragments found at the site. It is thought that the entrance to the temple complex was flanked by two such sphinx statues. It is currently in the National Museum of Beirut. It was first published in 1962 by Maurice Dunand and Raymond Duru, although likely discovered previously.
