Beef olives
| 75,671,030 |
Beef olives are an English meat dish consisting of slices of beef rolled and tied round a stuffing and braised in stock. Veal is sometimes used instead of beef, but the latter has been more common since the 18th century. Similar dishes are familiar in cuisines of other countries including France, Italy, Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic.

Beef olives
| 75,671,030 |
History and etymology
|
The word "olives" in the name of the dish is a corruption of "aloes" or "allowes", from the Old French alou, meaning lark. It was held that the small stuffed beef (or veal) rolls resembled little birds, particularly those whose heads had been cut off in being prepared for the table. In The Oxford Companion to Food, Alan Davidson observes that although the standard French term for similar beef rolls is paupiettes they have an alternative name – alouettes sans tête ("larks without heads"). Likewise, an alternative English name is "veal birds".

Beef olives

History and etymology
|
In English usage the term beef (or veal) olives dates back to at least the 16th century. John Florio in his A Worlde of Wordes (1598) refers to "That meate which we call oliues of veale". By the 18th century, beef was more commonly used than veal. Elizabeth Raffald in The Experienced English Housekeeper (1769) gives a recipe for the beef version, as in the 19th century does Mrs Beeton (1861).

History and etymology

Davidson comments that similar rolled and stuffed beef (or veal) dishes are found in the cookery of Germany (Rouladen), Poland (zrazycode: pol promoted to code: pl ), and the Czech Republic (ptachky). In Italy, there are several names for versions of the dish, including involtini, braciola and pasteli.

Lobster-eye optics
| 75,671,117 |
Lobster-eye optics is an X-ray optics design that mimic the structure of the lobster's eyes and has an ultra wide field of view. It was proposed in 1970s, and first used in the Chinese technology demonstrator Lobster Eye Imager for Astronomy launched in 2022. Currently several space telescopes that uses lobster-eye optics are under construction, including Chinese Einstein Probe.

Lobster-eye optics
| 75,671,117 |
Description
|
Lobster-eye optics mimic the structure of the lobster's eyes, that are made up of long, narrow cells that each reflect a tiny amount of light from a given direction. This allows the light from a wide viewing area to be focused into a single image. The optics is made of microchannel plates (or micropores) — thin, curved slabs of material dotted with tiny tubes across the surface. X-ray light can enter these tubes from multiple angles and is focused through grazing-incidence reflection that gives a wide field of view necessary for finding and imaging transient events that cannot be predicted in advance.
|
Lobster-eye optics
| 75,671,117 |
Description
|
The field of view of a lobster-eye optic, which is the solid angle subtended by the optic plate to the curvature center, is limited only by the optic size for a given curvature radius. Since the micropore optics is spherically symmetric in essentially all directions, theoretically, an idealized LE optic is almost free from vignetting except near the edge of the FoV.
|
Lobster-eye optics
| 75,671,117 |
History
|
The lobster-eye X-ray optics principle was first proposed for X-rays in the 1979 by Roger Angel. In 1989, physicists Keith Nugent and Stephen W. Wilkins collaborated to develop a lobster-eye optics, independently of Angel. Nugent and Wilkins' key contribution was to open up an approach to manufacturing these devices using microchannel plate technology. The lobster-eye approach opened the way for X-ray telescopes with a 360 degree view of the sky. "The reason it's got such a high profile is that other X-ray telescopes see a tiny, tiny part of the sky. Although normal telescopes see a small part of the sky, X-ray telescopes see an even smaller part. The beauty (of the new telescope) is that it actually expands that field of view hundreds of times," Nugent said.

Usage
|
Chinese Lobster Eye Imager for Astronomy (LEIA) is a wide-field X-ray imaging space telescope built by Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and launched on July 27, 2022, onboard of SATech-01 satellite. LEIA has a sensor module giving it a field of view of 340 square degrees. It is a preliminary mission testing the sensor design for the future Einstein Probe which will use a 12 sensor module Wide-field X-ray Telescope for a 3600 square degree field of view. In 2022 August and September, LEIA carried out a series of test observations for several days as part of its performance verification phase. A number of preselected sky regions and targets were observed, including the Galactic Center, the Magellanic Clouds, Sco X-1, Cas A, Cyg Loop, and a few extragalactic sources. The observations were performed in Earth's shadow to eliminate the effects of the Sun, starting 2 minutes after the satellite entering the shadow and ending 10 minutes before leaving it, resulting in an observational duration of ∼23 minutes in each orbit. The CMOS detectors were operating in the event mode.

Margaret Irene Anderson GM (11 December 1915 – 16 July 1995) was an Australian Army nurse. Anderson was awarded a George Medal for her heroism while caring for the wounded at sea after the invasion of Singapore in 1942. Lieutenant Anderson continued to serve on hospital ships until 1945.

Life

Anderson was born in 1915 in the Melbourne suburb of Malvern. Her parents were Jessie Blanchrie (born Urquhart) and Charles Anderson and they had both been born in Australia. Her father was employed as a driver. She qualified as a nurse in 1940 at the Austin Hospital in Melbourne's suburb of Heidelberg and in the same year she became a staff nurse in the Australian Army Nursing Service.

Margaret Irene Anderson

Life

In 1941 she was aboard the SS Zealandia which had left Melbourne on 2 November and then arrived in Singapore on 20 November. The ship was escorted by HMAS Sydney which was on one of its last trips. She and Vera Torey, who she had trained with in Heidelberg, were assigned to the 13th General Hospital which was itself moving from Singapore to Tampoi. Their eight-storey building was inappropriate, but during that November, 100 tons of equipment was moved to Tampoi. She and Torey would have been on night duty on 2 December 1941 when they heard what was assumed to be their air force practising night bombing. They were not aware that Japan had joined the war, but very soon the casualties arrived. By 16 January casualties arrived around the clock and all the nurses worked long hours. They heard on the radio that Japanese forces planned to use their building on 26 January.

On 8 February the Japanese invasion of Singapore began. In the harbour Empire Star had loaded equipment and stores and over 2,000 people. These people were British and Australian military and 133 army nurses including Anderson. The nurses were members of the Australian Army Nursing Service from two Australian Army Medical Corps hospitals. The ship had set sail with would-be passengers held back at gun point. In fact 139 Australian servicemen were later arrested for travelling without authorisation. Some of the passengers were loaded in jewellery as they all left with what they could.

On 12 February, six Japanese dive-bombers attacked the ship and its convoy. Anti-aircraft fire shot down one aircraft and damaged another, which broke off from the attack. The Empire Star was set afire in three places and several people on board were killed. Anderson was among the Australian nurses who tended the wounded below decks. When they thought the attack was over they brought their patients into the fresh air. As aircraft again machine-gunned the ship, Anderson and Veronica ("Vera") Torney, threw themselves upon wounded soldiers to protect them from further injury while the ship took "violent evasive action".

Life

In September 1942 numerous members of the ship's company were decorated for their part in the operation. Margaret Anderson was awarded the George Medal and "Vera" Torney was awarded the Military MBE. Anderson then returned to nursing in Australia where she had been promoted to be a sister. In January 1943 she joined MS Wanganella which had become a hospital ship in 1941. During 1943 she, like other Australian nurses, was given a military rank and she became Lieutenant Anderson. She was with the Wanganella as it travelled to Italy, New Guinea and hospitals in Australia until August 1945.
