Airey was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Council as member for Port Phillip on 22 December 1847, and was sworn in on 22 March 1848. The previous occupier of the seat, John Dunmore Lang vacated the seat by absence.

Aireys Inlet in Victoria was named for John Airey who settled in the area in 1842.

Airey became Viconde De Airey of Portugal and died in Lisbon on 17 July 1893.

title: Lena Anthem

text:
"Lena Anthem" is a song by Swedish singer Lena Philipsson from her ninth studio album Det gör ont en stund på natten men inget på dan (2004). It was released as the album's third single on 11 October 2004 through Columbia and Sony Music. Written by Thomas "Orup" Eriksson and produced by Anders Hansson, "Lena Anthem" is a disco song with synthesizer instrumentation and interpolations of Philipsson's 1987 single "Dansa i neon". Lyrically, the song contains exaggerated and tongue-in-cheek statements that proclaim her greater than her rivals.

The song was met with generally positive reviews in the Swedish press; several music critics praised its overconfident and humorous lyrics. "Lena Anthem" was Philipsson's fourth consecutive top-five entry of 2004 on the Sverigetopplistan singles chart, peaking at number four. The song also attained top-ten positions on the Svensktoppen and Trackslistan charts. The song was ranked at number 34 on the 2004 year-end chart of Sverigetopplistan. In 2011, Philipsson performed a live rendition of "Lena Anthem" with E-Type on Så mycket bättre.

Background

"Lena Anthem" was written by Thomas "Orup" Eriksson for Lena Philipsson's studio album Det gör ont en stund på natten men inget på dan (2004). Philipsson enlisted Orup to write the entirety of the album's music and lyrics. The two started working on the record after she won Melodifestivalen 2004 with "Det gör ont", which advanced her to the Eurovision Song Contest 2004 in Istanbul, Turkey, where she finished fifth in the final. Philipsson described the album as a party record for a girls' night out. Orup wrote the album quickly; Philipsson commented that she barely met with him after he began the writing process. The lyrics mainly focused on relationships she believed listeners could relate to. "Lena Anthem" was different in that aspect as Orup wrote it solely from her point of view. She described it as "special" compared to other album tracks, and stated that its lyrics are exaggerated, "Everything is not really true, but that was his inspiration about me. I think it's great to have a song where I sing about myself."

Anders Hansson produced "Lena Anthem" and handled its recording. The track was mixed by Ronny Lahti and mastered by Björn Engelmann. Philipsson deemed the song one of her favorites on Det gör ont en stund på natten men inget på dan, and Orup selected writing the song as his musical highlight of 2004. In an interview for TT News Agency in August 2004, Philipsson revealed that "Lena Anthem" was a contender for the album's third single, although it had not been decided yet.  A few days later, a post on her official website confirmed its single release slated for October 2004. The single was released on 11 October 2004 through Columbia  and Sony Music as a CD single. The single artwork was photographed by Jonas Linell and designed by Karl-Magnus Boske. The release contained the song's radio edit and original album version, in addition to a remix of the previous single "Delirium". The single also included a "Lena Anthem" polyphonic ringtone. The song appears on Philipsson's compilation album Lena 20 år (2007).

Composition and lyrics

Musically, "Lena Anthem" is a disco song. Parts of the production sample Philipsson's Melodifestivalen 1987 entry "Dansa i neon", for which Tim Norell received music credit. Instrumentation is provided by a bass guitar, a guitar, percussion, a synthesizer, a violin, and a Wurlitzer electric piano. Several critics compared its synthesizer instrumentation and sequencer bass to Lustans Lakejer's 1982 song "Diamanter". Jan-Owe Wikström of Hallandsposten felt the verses recall both "Diamanter" and songs by ABBA.

Lyrically, "Lena Anthem" contains exaggerated and tongue-in-cheek statements that proclaim Philipsson greater than her rivals. Music commentators described the lyrics as "cocky" and "humorous". John Lucas of AllMusic interpreted the song as a "self-assured statement of intent and kiss-off to her critics and chart rivals". In the chorus, she sings "Mitt namn är Lena och jag tänker inte va' tyst / Jag tänker inte bara sitta här och vänta på att bli kysst" ("My name is Lena and I won't be quiet / I'm not just going to sit here and wait to be kissed"). The chorus ends with her asserting that she is "no ordinary Söderberg or Eriksson". In the bridge, she compares herself with fellow singers Regina Lund and Lisa Nilsson. Although the statement was described as an "attack" in the media, Philipsson clarified that the lyrics did not patronize Lund and Nilsson; she stated that the song was about herself and that the singers were mentioned in a humorous matter. She told Expressen that she was certain Nilsson would laugh upon hearing the song. Some commentators recognized "Lena Anthem" as Philipsson's signature song.

Critical reception
"Lena Anthem" received generally positive reviews in the Swedish press. Anders Nunstedt of Expressen described the song as "very cool" and regarded it a "hard and cold disco statement". A reviewer writing for Göteborgs-Posten described the track as a "fun" and "cocky" album opener. While reviewing the parent album, David Stark of TT News Agency commented that Philipsson exudes confidence throughout the record, which he felt was the most evident with "Lena Anthem". He praised the humorous lyrics and the Lustans Lakejer-inspired production. Sydsvenskan critic Maria G. Francke wrote that its overconfident lyrics fit "perfectly" with Philipsson's vocal delivery. She praised its mixture of girl power themes and tongue-in-cheek lyrics, writing, "It's fun but not silly, smart but uncomplicated, glamorous but casual." An Upsala Nya Tidning critic felt Philippson's attitude on "Lena Anthem" alluded to her alter ego Agent 006 from her fifth studio album A Woman's Gotta Do What a Woman's Gotta Do (1991), as well as Madonna. The critic wrote that the song includes both provocative cockiness and disarming humor, which they felt signaled a big step from the Bert Karlsson "schlager factory" she originated from.

Micke Holmström of Norrköpings Tidningar selected "Lena Anthem" as the best track on the album, calling it "tough" and "funny". Henrik Rydström of Barometern named the song "powerful" and felt its confident lyrics were well-suited for Philipsson. Dan Backman, writing for Svenska Dagbladet, compared it to Philipsson's previous singles "Det gör ont" and "Delirium" and stated that it is "obviously intended to contribute to the singer's status as a gay diva". Johanna Hillgren of Södermanlands Nyheter enjoyed the lyrics, but critiqued the "boring" production. A critic from Arbetarbladet deemed the single "atrocious". Outside of Sweden, John Lucas of AllMusic named the song a "fabulous statement of intent" and a "relentless dance track". He wrote, "The lyrics not only proclaim Philipsson a step ahead of her rivals, but actually dare to name them, making the song not only one of the most irresistible hits of 2004, but also one of the funniest."

Chart performance
Upon its release, "Lena Anthem" debuted at number four on the Sverigetopplistan singles chart on 22 October 2004, becoming the week's highest-placing debut. The song spent nine weeks in the top-ten, and remained on the chart for twenty-three non-consecutive weeks until 21 April 2005. The song was Philipsson's fourth consecutive top-five entry of 2004 on the chart. "Lena Anthem" debuted at number five on Svensktoppen, a key chart for Swedish-language singers based on jury votes, on 28 November 2004, after being a contender the week before. The song attained its peak position at number three the following week. The song also charted on Trackslistan, one of the most influential Swedish charts at the time, based on votes by radio listeners, where it debuted and peaked at number seven. By the end of 2004, the Swedish Recording Industry Association (GLF) ranked "Lena Anthem" as the 34th best-selling single of the year.

Live performances
Philipsson performed "Lena Anthem" as the opening number on her 2004 Sweden tour. She also sang the song at the Rockbjörnen awards ceremony in January 2005, and as part of the interval act of the Melodifestivalen 2005 finale in March. She performed the song as a duet with Swedish Eurodance musician E-Type while participating on the second season of Så mycket bättre, which aired on TV4 in December 2011. Philipsson included the song as part of the encore of her 2011  "Min drömshow – 25 år som artist", staged at Cirkus in Stockholm to commemorate her 25 years in the music industry. Philipsson also performed the song on her 2016 krogshow "Jag är ingen älskling".

title: L.W.C. van den Berg

text:
Lodewijk Willem Christiaan van den Berg (October 19, 1845 – March 2, 1927), or more commonly known as L.W.C. van den Berg, was a Dutch oriental scholar in the Dutch colonial era famous with his research on Arab Indonesians of Hadhrami descent, which was the first detailed research of its kind in the world at the time.

Education and career
Van den Berg was born in Haarlem, North Holland, the Netherlands on October 19, 1845.  His father is Simon van den Berg and his mother is Sophie Charlotte Immerzeel.  He married Françoise Steup in 1884.

After completing the Gymnasium (Lycée or secondary school), he studied at Taal-, Land- end Volkenkunde in Leiden University, graduating summa cum laude in 1868 with a dissertation on Muslim property law, De Contractu Do Ut Des. Soon afterwards, he left for the Indies where he held several clerical and judicial posts until, in 1878, he was given the prestigious, newly created, position of Official for the practice of "Indische" languages and Adviser for Eastern (Oostersche) languages and Muslim law.

Van den Berg continued his exploration of Muslim law by publishing De Beginselen [Principles] van het Mohammedaansche Recht, Volgens de Imâm's Aboe Hanifat en Sjâfi‘i (The Principles of the Mohammedan Law, according to the Imams Abu Hanifah and Shafi'i) in 1874. Second and third editions followed in 1878 and 1883. Van den Berg's interest in the Arab communities of Java led him to complete an important work on this subject.

His book on ranks and titles on Java and Madura should also be noted among several other contributions, but his book which has been most referenced and cited for topic of Indonesian Hadhrami is Le Hadhramout et les colonies arabes dans l'archipel Indien ("The Hadhramaut and Arab settlements in the Indian archipelago")

Many times van den Berg had opposite opinions with another Dutch orientalist, Snouck Hurgronje.  Van den Berg's first exchange with Snouck concerned Van den Berg's own paper publication on Imam al-Nawawi's Minhâdj at-talibîn (). Snouck stressed that including the original Arabic text was superfluous as excellent copies were available throughout the Muslim world. While complimenting Van den Berg on the smoothness of the French text, Snouck also questioned whether the various terms found in the Fiqh books should be translated because the Arabic words were critical technical terms, “the pillars” of knowledge and wisdom.

In July 1881, Van den Berg wrote a critique of the Holle's recommendations which called for strict monitoring Islam in the East Indies. In a matter of putting spies in Mecca, for example, according to Van den Berg, it is completely useless because most Arabs residing in Nusantara were from Hadhramaut. Hadhramis were considered strangers in the eyes of the Arabs of Mecca.

A state commission was established in 1890 for revision of colonial legislation in the field of private law and van den Berg was appointed as its secretary.

A decade later, Snouck used another opportunity to critique Van den Berg. In this case, it concerned Aceh. In 1880, Th. Der Kinderen, a member of the Council of the Indies, and Van den Berg as his secretary had been instructed to visit Aceh and report on its “unruly” conditions.  With the Aceh problem continuing to be unresolved, Snouck (who had arrived in Java in 1889 to become Advisor for Native Affairs) was sent to Aceh in 1891. His seven-month stay in that part of Aceh under Dutch military control resulted in a lengthy report and the publication of a two-volume De Atjèhers.  Even though Snouck criticized him many times, Van den Berg's career does not seem to have been affected negatively.

Van den Berg became a corresponding member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1876 and resigned in 1888.

Van den Berg returned to the Netherlands in 1887 to accept a Professorship at the Indische Instelling Delft, a college for colonial administration. His tenure at the institute moved along smoothly while he continued to publish. In his later life, he also was active in politics for the Anti-Revolutionary Party, serving on the municipal council of Delft from 1901 to 1904 and as mayor of the same town between 1910 and 1920. He was member of the States of South Holland from 1902 to 1911 and a member of the Dutch parliament's First Chamber between 1911 and 1923.

Van den Berg died on March 2, 1927, in Delft, South Holland, Netherlands. Although the name of L.W.C. van den Berg is not as famous as his successor, Snouck Hurgronje, on researches on Islam and Arabs in East Indies, but van den Berg still has been a very important orientalist.

Chu entered the 2012 Miss Hong Kong pageant as contestant #4. Despite being a fan favorites and many TVB artistes, including previous winners Samantha Ko, Suki Chui and TVB's executive officer Virginia Lok, Chu did not win the title, partly due to technical difficulties in the voting system.

The 2012 pageant was the first Miss Hong Kong pageant to hold viewers choice online voting. The winner was to be selected based on popular online votes by audiences. Chu placed 2nd Runner-up but many netizens and fellow TVB artistes felt Chu was robbed of the winning title mainly due to Chu was leading in online votes by 65% the day before the final event was held. Over 500 Hong Kong citizens filed a complaint against TVB with the Office of the Telecommunications Authority (OFTA) citing fraud was committed, when the winner was eventually decided by the judging panel.

TVB Deputy Director of External Affairs Tsang Sing-ming, later apologized to the press for TVB's computer servers being disrupted, resulting in a lot of viewers unable to vote for their favorite. He also commented that the winner had already been decided and that a recount would not be done.

After winning the Miss Hong Kong 2nd Runner-up title in 2012, Chu was cast for her first role in the medical drama The Hippocratic Crush II, acting opposite veteran Hong Kong actor Lawrence Ng. Her next drama, Tomorrow Is Another Day, had her starring opposite veteran actor Kenny Wong. Chu garnered multiple award nominations with this drama. In 2015, she earned positive reviews for her performance in the dramas Smooth Talker and The Fixer, both of which garnered her  the Favourite Most Improved TVB Artiste awards at both the TVB Star Awards Malaysia and the StarHub TVB Awards.

In 2015, with the departure of longtime TVB lead actresses Myolie Wu and Kate Tsui, Chu got her first female leading role in the 2016 drama Over Run Over, again earning positive comments. Her onscreen partnership with Vincent Wong was well received, for which they won the Most Popular Onscreen Partnership award at the 2016 TVB Anniversary Awards. In addition, Chu earned her first nominations for both the Best Actress award and Most Popular Female Character award, eventually being placed among top 5 in both categories.

title: Kadipiro virus

text:
Kadipiro virus (KDV) is a member of the virus family Reoviridae. It is an arbovirus and has been isolated from Culex, Anopheles, Armigeres, and Aedes mosquitoes in Indonesia and China. Other members of the genus Seadornavirus have been linked to viral encephalitis.

Characteristics

The Kadipiro virus contains 12 segments of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) with a 21,000 base-pair genome. The capsid is icosahedral and naked, though it does temporarily acquire a viral envelope as it buds from a host cell. Sedoreovirinae viruses contain and inner, intermediate and outer capsid. The capsid is 70 nanometers in diameter with capsid spikes and 7 structural proteins.

Taxonomy

The Kadipiro virus was once classified as Coltivirus JKT-7075. It has been reclassified to the genus Seadornavirus of the subfamily Sedoreovirinae within the family Reoviridae. The Reoviridae have not been assigned to an order. Due to the dsRNA nature of the viral genome, the virus is classified as a Group III virus under the Baltimore classification system.

Since discovery of the Kadipiro virus several strains have been identified. JKT-7075 is now listed as one of those strains.

The genus Seadornavirus contains Banna virus, Kadipiro virus, and Liao ning virus. All three viruses can typically be found where Japanese encephalitis virus and Dengue virus have been reported.

Geography

The Kadipiro virus was once thought to only exist in Indonesia, but has since been isolated also from mosquitoes in China. The range includes the tropics and subtropics.

Virology

The Kadipiro virus was isolated in three mosquito genera: Culex, Anopheles and Armigeres and was grown in laboratory cultures. It was later found in Aedes mosquitoes. It was observed that the virus grew readily in mice and insect cell cultures with cytopathic effects in C6/36 (Aedes albopictus cell line), but was limited to BSR (clones of BHK cells) mammalian cells. No major disease resulted from infection in mice and immunological memory against a subsequent viral challenge was observed.

title: Remote sensing atmospheric boundary layer

text:
Ground-based, flight-based, or satellite-based remote sensing instruments can be used to measure properties of the planetary boundary layer, including boundary layer height, aerosols and clouds. Satellite remote sensing of the atmosphere has the advantage of being able to provide global coverage of atmospheric planetary boundary layer properties while simultaneously providing relatively high temporal sampling rates. Advancements in satellite remote sensing have provided greater vertical resolution which enables higher accuracy for planetary boundary layer measurements.

The radiative forcing for marine boundary layer (MBL) clouds is imperative for understanding any global warming changes. Low-level clouds, including MBL clouds, have the largest net radiative forcing of all clouds.

The albedo of these low level clouds is much higher than the albedo of the underlying ocean surface and correctly modeling these clouds is needed to limit the uncertainty in climate model predictions. The remote sensing of the planetary boundary layer, especially clouds and aerosols within the planetary boundary layer can help verify and improve climate models.

Planetary boundary layer
The planetary boundary layer is the portion of the troposphere that is influenced by the interaction with the surface of the earth and will adjust to surface forcings within a timescale of 1 hour. The planetary boundary layer is characterized by turbulence during the daytime and by stability during the night. At the top of the planetary boundary layer, there is a stable layer that is frequently termed the inversion layer as temperature tends to increase with height in contrast to much of the troposphere. The planetary boundary layer can have lower level clouds located around the capping inversion top. The two main types of clouds within the planetary boundary layer are fair-weather cumulus clouds and stratocumulus clouds. The underlying surface primarily determines the type of cloud produced within the planetary boundary layer. The presence of the capping inversion can also trap  aerosols within the planetary boundary layer. The increase of anthropogenic aerosols from burning fossil fuels can have significant impacts on precipitation and climate.

Satellite Remote Sensing
Satellite measurements have the advantage of being able to sample meteorological variables in regions that have little measurement systems. Many instruments have been created to help observe the atmosphere for both research and weather prediction. One of the first successful satellite missions for weather radar observations was the Television Infrared Observation Satellite (TIROS). This instrument paved the way for more weather satellite systems that utilize the visible, infrared and microwave radiation spectrum. Current remote sensing instruments that can help detect planetary boundary layer phenomenon include the Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard Terra and Aqua as well as CALIOP (Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization) aboard CALIPSO. While MODIS and many other satellites are passive remote sensors, active remote sensors such as CALIPSO provide greater accuracy for height retrievals. Satellite measurements have been used to determine the dynamical conditions that produce planetary boundary layer clouds and the climatological regions of where these clouds occur.

Planetary boundary layer clouds

Remote sensing of mesoscale cellular convection
Mesoscale cellular convection (MCC) is a form of buoyantly driven convection that can provide the planetary boundary layer with cumulus clouds at the top of the boundary layer. MCC generally occurs over ocean regions and is primarily found off the coasts of major continents particularly in North and South America.
MCC is a form of the Bénard cell where the fluid will rise or fall in hexagonal cells creating hexagonal cloud structure. The capping inversion of the planetary boundary layer acts as a lid for the convection creating a horizontal plane for the hexagonal cloud structures. Satellite observations have been imperative for understanding the horizontal scale and the vertical scale of these cloud formations. MCC is generally too small for synoptic scale measurements, but too large for single point measurements. However, satellite observations are able to monitor the development of the cloud patterns because of their large field of view. Satellites images from TIROS helped to highlight one of the main differences between laboratory convection cells and those that occur in the atmosphere. The ratio of the diameter of the hexagon compared to the depth of the cloud was much larger in the atmosphere compared to the same ratio calculated in controlled experiments. This difference showed that viscosity and heat conduction were important for the laboratory measurements, but eddy diffusion of heat and momentum dominated the atmospheric cells. Wind shear must be low to form MCC cells otherwise cloud streaks will form in the direction of the wind shear. The cloud formations that occur as part of MCC can be placed into two categories: open cells and closed cells.

Open cells

Open cells are characterized by a cloud free region in the middle of the hexagonal formation with cloudy regions in the outer edge of the hexagon. The open cell will have slow descending motion in the middle with faster rising motion on the edges forming the hexagonal cloud shape. They tend to form over colder water such as those that exist off the Californian coast.

While places such as the Californian coast regularly produce open cellular convection, atmospheric storm systems can also spur the production of open cellular clouds in regions of low climatological production. Open cellular patterns can often be found behind cold fronts in the cold unstable air, and produce multiple cloud types including cumulus congenstus, cumulonimbus, and stratocumulus clouds. However, the open cells formed in subtropical regions are not normally associated with synoptic storms.

Closed cells

Closed cells contain cloud filled regions in the center of the hexagon formation with cloud free regions on the edge of the hexagon. The closed cell has slow rising motion in the middle and faster descending motion at the edges. Closed cells tend to occur over warmer waters such as those associated with the Kuroshio Current and the Gulf Stream.

Closed cellular patterns are generally formed under weak convective mixing in the lower levels with an inversion layer cap. They commonly occur in the eastern sections of subtropical high pressure regions or in the southeastern quadrant of polar highs.

Aerosols from Satellites

The CALIOP on board CALIPSO allows for the measurements of different aerosol particles by measuring the backscatter at wavelengths of 1064 and 532 nanometers with the ability to receive two orthogonal components in the 532 nm wavelength. Without the presence of optically thick clouds, aerosol layers within the planetary boundary layer may be measured and provides a great technique for measuring aerosol pollution. Ground-based lidar have shown agreement with CALIOP in measuring isolated aerosol layers above the Seoul metropolitan area.

CALIPSO has also been used in conjunction with the MODIS data to determine how aerosols within the planetary boundary layer might alter low planetary boundary layer stratus clouds. The detection of biomass burning aerosols were shown to decrease the cloud droplet radius within these warm layer clouds in agreement with the Albrecht effect, while simultaneously decreasing liquid water path in contrast to the Albrecht effect.

Boundary layer height
The boundary layer tends to have higher moisture values and greater aerosol amounts which results in higher scattering of light within the boundary layer. With remote sensing instruments, the boundary layer height can be detected based on these principles. Using the lidar on board CALIPSO, boundary layer height estimates have been made and compared with radiosonde and ECMWF re-analysis data and have shown high correlations between the remote sensing estimated value and the measured radiosonde values.

The boundary layer height can be derived in a few different ways from lidar data including the maximum variance technique, which states that the maximum in the variance of the backscatter occurs at the top of the boundary layer. Within the entrainment zone, cleaner free troposphere eddies will mix with more polluted boundary layer eddies resulting in high variances at the height of the entrainment layer. The use of satellite derived boundary layer heights provides another method for verifying climate model output. Some remote sensing instruments have limitations. Since CALIOP relies on the use of backscattered light, daytime retrievals can contain high signal to noise ratios as sunlight can add background noise. Nighttime retrievals

Boundary layer composition
Under suitable conditions, specialized lidar techniques can be used to determine the boundary layer composition. Lidar pulses used for remote sensing get pulse echoes off the ground and off clouds. When there is a layer of broken clouds at the top of the boundary layer, IPDA lidar techniques used for atmospheric composition remote sensing can obtain the boundary layer composition.

title: Ice River Spring

text:
The Ice River Spring on Ellesmere Island, in Nunavut, Canada, is a high discharge perennial spring. As of 2014, it is the highest latitude perennial spring known. The spring is located at  above sea level, on the south-facing slope of an  mountain. The spring's discharge has carved a gully, and flows to the Ice River. The spring was originally discovered in 2009, and observed to gush forth all year round. Analysis of the spring water, shows that it originated from the surface, and circulated deep into the Earth before returning through the cryosphere. The spring flows year-round, even in the middle of winter when surface air temperatures reach . The gully it carves out is reminiscent of gullies on Mars. The average annual air temperatures in the region is , while the spring's water's average is . The spring discharges , even though it is located in an area with permafrost over  thick.

title: Renclusa Refuge

text:
The Renclusa refuge (Spanish: Refugio de la Renclusa) is a refuge located in the Spanish Pyrenees at the foot of the massif de la Maladeta, at  high, in the Ésera valley. It is the starting point for excursions to the summit of la Maladeta, of the monts Maudits and the Aneto (highest point in the Pyrenees). It lies in the commune of Benasque, north-east of Huesca province, Aragon (Spain).

History

The refuge's name comes from the Pic de la Rencluse  above it. It was originally a shelter under rock, then a shepherd's hut, which was used as a shelter by Platon de Tchihatchev, Albert de Franqueville and guides Pierre Sanio, Jean Sors dit Argarot, Pierre Redonnet dit Nate et Bernard Arrazau dit Ursule, during their first ascension of the Aneto in July 1842.

Later, engineer and Catalan pyreneist Juli Soler i Santaló (1865-1914) made a small 4x3 house built, near its current location, which he named villa Maladeta, and he draughted the future refuge.

The refuge was inaugurated in 1916. It had 22 beds and was kept by Antonio Abadias. It rapidly became one of the most frequented refuges in the Pyrenees. The Spanish civil war interrupted its activity, and it wasn't until 1951 that a new refuge, restored and enlarged, came to be. After Antonio Abadias' death, Benasquan Antonio Garié succeeded him in 1966.

Access and services

Today the refuge offers around 110 places and is one of the biggest in the Pyrenees. It is kept from end of June to end of September and is open weekends during the skiing period. It is managed by the Aragonese Mountain Federation (FAM) and the Excursionist Centre of Catalonia (CEC). One can get there from Benasque (about an hour's walk from Besurta car park) and from France, from Bagnères-de-Luchon, by the port de Venasque.

title: Kurabit

text:
Kurabit (also Kuraibi, Koraibi or Koraibit) is a traditional shield originating from the Mentawai Islands (generally from Siberut) off the coast of West Sumatra, Indonesia.

Description
The Kurabit is a long, slightly curved wooden shield. It is made of a lightweight wood and has a coconut central boss. Its straight upper side is rather broad. Looking down it, the shield becomes a little narrower and then somewhat broader until about halfway. From here it tapers towards a blunt tip. Just above the centre the grip is cut out of the shield. The subsequent holes are covered using half a coconut shell attached by means of rattan. A Kurabit is usually decorated with geometrical, coloured motifs on both sides. Spirals (patogalik) are much used. Moreover, decorations such as lizard and human figures in 'rock painting styles' are seen. To make red paint, the fruit of the kalumangan tree is used. The black paint consists of soot mixed with plant juices. Since the termination of head-hunting and of disputes between Mentawai ethnic groups at the beginning of the 20th century, the Kurabit has become very rare. The older examples seem to be less broad and less curved than more recent ones.

title: Richard Edwin Hills

text:
Richard Edwin Hills  (30 September 1945 – 5 June 2022) was a British astronomer who was emeritus professor of Radio Astronomy at the University of Cambridge.

Education
Born on 30 September 1945 and educated at Bedford School, Hills studied the Natural Science Tripos at Queens' College, Cambridge and then went to the University of California, Berkeley to complete his Doctor of Philosophy degree.

Career and research
Hills was a research scientist at the Max Planck Institute in Bonn between 1972 and 1974, before he returned to the University of Cambridge and became involved in the development of telescopes and instrumentation for astronomy at wavelengths of around one millimetre—the spectral region that lies between radio waves and infrared—which is relatively unexplored.

Hills worked as the project scientist for the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope during its design and construction, and went on to use the telescope to observe distant, redshifted quasars and the processes associated with star formation. In December 2007 he was appointed project scientist for the ALMA telescope, a sub-millimeter interferometer in the Atacama Desert of Northern Chile.

Hills was a fellow of St Edmund's College, Cambridge and Director of Studies for Natural Sciences at St Edmund's between 1990 and 2007. He was Professor of Radio Astronomy at the University of Cambridge between 1990 and 2007, Deputy Head of the Department of Physics at the University of Cambridge between 1999 and 2003, and was emeritus professor of Radio Astronomy at the University of Cambridge until his death on 5 June 2022.

Awards and honours
Hills was awarded the Royal Astronomical Society's Jackson-Gwilt Medal in 1989, was part of the team given the MacRobert Award for Engineering in 1990 and was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2014. His nomination for the Royal Society reads:
