Mattertal

The Matter Valley (German: Mattertal, or sometimes Nikolaital) is located in southwestern Switzerland, south of the Rhone valley in the canton of Valais. The village of Zermatt is the most important settlement of the valley, which is surrounded by many four-thousanders, including the Matterhorn.

Geography
Located in the Pennine Alps, the Matter Valley is drained by the Matter Vispa, a tributary of the Rhone. The valley itself ends at Stalden where it meets the Saas Valley. The resulting Visp Valley continues for a few kilometres until it reaches the town of Visp on the young river Rhone. The valley starts between the high summits south of Zermatt (Monte Rosa, Matterhorn) on the border with Italy. The upper side is glaciated, the second largest glacier of the Alps, the Gorner Glacier lies at the foot of Monte Rosa (4,634 m), while the Zmutt Glacier lies at the foot of the Matterhorn (4,478 m). Around the village of Randa are located the Weisshorn (4,505 m) and the Dom (4,545 m). The difference of height between the talweg and the summits on both side reaches over 3 km. The total length of the valley is about 40 km.

Settlements
Zermatt (1,600 m), with approx. 5,600 inhabitants, is the largest and highest town in the valley. St. Niklaus follows with 2,400 inhabitants. Between them are located the smaller villages of Täsch and Randa. The villages of Grächen, Embd and Törbel are located above the valley. Stalden, located at the end of the valley, is the lowest village (800 m).

Transport
Since the end of the nineteenth century the upper end of the valley is connected by rail from Visp (Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn). If the main road connect Zermatt from Visp, it cannot be used between Täsch and Zermatt, the latter being completely car-free.

Since 1930 the valley is directly connected to St. Moritz by the Glacier Express panoramic train.

South Perrott

South Perrott is a village and civil parish in northwest Dorset, England, 2 mi southeast of Crewkerne. In 2012 the estimated population of the parish was 220. Figures from the 2011 census have been published for South Perrott parish combined with the neighbouring parish of Chedington; the population in these areas was 367.

The name Perrott comes from the River Parrett.

The manor was held with North Perrott just over the border in Somerset.

Immediately south of the church are some earthworks, the remains of the moated enclosures of Mohun Castle. A geophysical survey of this site was undertaken in 1996.

Religious sites
The Parish Church of St. Mary can be found in the southern part of the village. The church is cruciform in shape, with a prominent central tower that has a plain parapet and gargoyles. The central crossing, transepts, nave and west porch date from the 13th century, while the central tower was rebuilt in the 15th century. A chapel was added to the south side of the chancel in the 16th century. Between 1907 and 1913, the chancel and south chapel were rebuilt and a number of other changes made. In the north wall of the chancel there are two roundels of 18th century glass, one depicting the Crucifixion, the other the Last Supper. The weather vane on the tower takes the form of a copper cockerel. The Church is a Grade I listed building.

The tower contains six bells, the whole ring being cast by Mears and Stainbank at the Whitechapel foundry and dedicated in 1927 by Bishop Jocelyn, Archdeacon of Sherborne. The bell historian Christopher Dalton points out that this was the first complete ring of bells in Dorset cast by the Whitechapel foundry after it had adopted the true-harmonic principle of tuning (and only its third complete ring using this principle). Before the augmentation there were three bells, the lightest dated 1828 by John Kingston (Bridgewater), the second dated 1602 (inscribed: "ANNO DOMINI 1602 RP") with the tenor apparently from the same founder, but dated 1650. Dalton thinks that the latter may be an error for 1605, and concludes that they were both early works of Richard Purdue I of Stoford, Somerset.

Since 1979, St Mary's, South Perrott has been part of the Beaminster Area Team Ministry (Diocese of Salisbury).

Talk:Solar chimney

Cooltower article The following ref is helpful: Moody, C. D., T. L. Thompson, and J. F. Peck. 1978. The Downdraft Chimney: Passive Evaporative Cooling for the Southwest. Tucson, AZ: Environmental Research Laboratory, University of Arizona. 140.215.156.57 (talk) 16:36, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Important to check out
I think that there is a danger to introduce Radon in the building when you are sucking air though an underground pipe, because it can always crack without knowing. I would only use geothermic air cooling if it was under pressure (pushing air from the entry instead of sucking it out from the exit). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jim777 (talk • contribs) 19:44, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

History
We should include that fact that Romans used this to cool their homes. A black chimney and a long underground trough to pull cooled air through.

It's 2000+ yrs old. Source?

Merge Proposal
There is a lot of overlap between Solar chimney and Solar Tower. Both focus on the yet-to-be realized EnviroMission project in Australia. I don't think we need two articles on that subject. So I propose to move all the Schlaich, Bergerman and Partner, EnviroMission and SolarMission Technologies Inc. stuff as there is in Solar chimney, and merge that into Solar Tower. That way Solar chimney can focus on what it really is supposed to be, and what has now been marginalized: An approach to passive cooling of buildings that has been used for thousands of years, see http://www.sxlist.com/techref/other/spac.htm, http://www.seav.sustainability.vic.gov.au/ftp/buildings/VSII/solar_chimney.pdf , http://ej.iop.org/links/q33/jEw26nxl,ER6garfk7abcQ/mst4_7_n01.pdf , http://www.ecosensual.net/drm/eco/ecovent1.html , http://www.flomerics.com/flovent/technical_papers/v46.pdf , http://www.europeangreencities.com/pdf/activities/ConfApr2004/15.pdf , http://www.greenbuilder.com/sourcebook/PassSolGuide3.html, http://www.azsolarcenter.com/design/pas-3.html , http://www.azsolarcenter.com/technology/pas-3.html, http://www.thefarm.org/charities/i4at/lib2/aircool.htm and http://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy02osti/32157.pdf. When you go back to the origins of the Solar chimney article you will see that that is what it was originally about, see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Solar_chimney&oldid=6597806, until it was taken over by the EnviroMission folks JdH 14:49, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

 * According to the EnvrioMission website, the two things are one and the same:
 * "Formerly referred to as Solar Chimney technology in academic literature - it is now marketed without the reference to chimney (to avoid confusion with the pollution associated with chimneys - this technology is emission free)"
 * http://www.enviromission.com.au/faqs/faqs.htm#q10 131.111.243.37 15:43, 17 May 2006

 * That's EnviroMission's POV, but the facts are against it. The Solar chimney concept has been around for many years; in fact long before EnviroMission even existed. There is a clear difference between the Solar chimney concept as a small-scale, energy-efficient approach to the ventilation of a building on one hand, and the large-scale power plant proposal by EnviroMission on the other. As it stands, the original concept of what a Solar chimney is all about has pretty much been lost. What's more, we don't need two articles on one and the same subject. JdH 16:43, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

 * And while we are at it we might as well rename the resulting article to Solar updraft tower power plant, just to avoid all the confusion that exists about the name Solar Tower. Even Jörg Schlaich himself calls it that, see http://link.aip.org/link/?JSEEDO/127/117/1 and http://www.sbp.de/de/html/contact/download/The_Solar_Updraft.pdf, and I see no reason whatsoever to argue with that. JdH 22:08, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

 * All the "Solar tower" material should be in one article - no discussion needed there, as the topic is identical. I have moved that material from here to Solar Tower and put a disambig note at the top of this article.

 * I've reverted this article back to when it was primarily about the ventilation device - unfortunately I had to use a 2004 edit. If more recent edits relevant to the ventilation device have been lost, I apologise - though I had a bit of a look through the page history and couldn't see anything else. In any case, the main thing is to now improve this article.

 * I've also made a comment on the name at Talk:Solar Tower. --Singkong2005 (t - c - WPID) 05:51, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

I wikified and copy edited your article
If I made any mistakes or if you have a problem with anything I did, let me know and I will try to fix it. It's a very interesting article. I added it to the Solar power page, to their list of solar resources. KarenAnn 21:30, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Thank you; looks good. I have one problem though with the sentence: "The surface area is more important than the diameter of the chimney the purpose of heating by solar radiation." I am not entirely sure how to fix that sentence "...for the purpose of..." "...for better heat exchange with the air..."; it is a bit convoluted. The idea that should come across is that a large surface area is good for heating the air inside the chimney; clearly, a large diameter round chimney would not do the job. JdH 10:36, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Modified sentence hopefully for the better. Please check it out. (I'm not clear about the concept being described.) Also, should it be "surfaces" instead of "surface"? KarenAnn 11:18, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I just checked back and saw the vast improvements to this article, done recently by JdH & KarenAnn. Good work. --Singkong2005 (t - c - WPID) 14:59, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Replacement Image:Solar_chimney.JPG
The following tag appeared on Image:Solar_chimney.JPG, that is the first image that is used in the article. I would appreciate it if someone would help out with that. JdH 15:55, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Your page looks great
You have vastly improved and clarify it. (Even I understand it now!) KarenAnn 01:16, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Thank you :-) You have been very helpful. There are still a lot of issues which should be addressed. One of the things which I hope somebody will address is its application in less developed countries. There is a large scientific literature out there that adresses that. One of the things I came across while looking into this is the Windcatcher, which is a related traditional Persian architectural device; very interesting. JdH 01:49, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

The wind catcher operates quite differently to a solar chimney. Efpalinos 18:00, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Thank you for your contribution to this article; it is very helpful. Unfortunately, the description of the function of the Windcatcher is very murky indeed; I have tried to address that under the header How does this work? of the talk page. Basically, what I believe is that the Windcatcher is in principle nothing else than a chimney. And like all chimneys (including the Solar chimney) it works by a difference in temperature: The temperature inside the chimney is higher than the temperature outside; it is this difference in temperature that causes a pressure difference, and hence an updraft inside the chimney. The Solar chimney seeks to enhance that natural ventilation process by using solar power to further increase the temperature inside the chimney. Clearly, the Windcatcher does not do that, it uses the pre-existing temperature differences instead. But apart from that particular aspect everything else remains the same. Climate plays a role as well; from the discussion on the Talk page it became clear that in the high desert of central Iran the outside temperature falls significantly during the night; so during the night the Windcatcher will help to draw cool outside air into the building. In the end, the Windcatcher is a device to improve ventilation, taking advantage of the local climatological circumstances. JdH 05:27, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Copy edit needed
This needs some copy editing... This explination is somewhat flawed ...cold air is heavier than hot air, hot air does not draw up cold air, it floats on top of cold air , cold air displaces hot air pushing the hot air up until buoancy is reached. Convection does not take place in the abscence of graviy. How would the cold air rise out of the channel in the ground when the coldest air would fall to the lowest point in the system ... this is all basic year 10 physics. Just because many architects do not understand this principle and draw a lines representing convection in a schematic section of a passive ventilation system doesn't mean that it works. Hot air does not draw up cold air cold air displaces hot air gravity is causing everything to fall the heavier things fall below the lighter things. If you let a ping pong ball go under water it floats to the surface because the water being denser and heavier displaces it until it reaches the surface at the surface it becomes bouyant it does not keep rising drawing up water behind it.If the cool below ground channel was above the room then yes the cold air would fall into the room displacing the hotter less dense air only till the buoyancy point is reached. -- Jake (talk) 03:20, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Basically, like all heat engines, the thing is driven by a difference in temperature. The temperature of the air inside the chimney is higher than the temperature outside; that's all, that is what is driving it. Air expands at higher temperature; therefore the air inside the chimney is less dense than the outside air. Just consider the weight of a column of air inside the chimney with a comparable column of air outside: Because of its higher temperature, and hence lower density that column of air inside weighs less than the column outside; and that difference in weight causes a pressure difference at ground level between inside and out.
 * One more thing: please don't mess up the main text with silly remarks like this one. JdH (talk) 11:00, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Solar vs. Thermal
It seems to me that a solar chimney and a thermal chimney aren't just two names for the same thing. A thermal chimney might not be designed for solar gain, or might even be designed to avoid solar gain. In this case, it would only assist convection when the inside temperature was higher than the outside temperature, whereas a solar chimney could drive convection even if the inside temperature is cooler than outside, with sufficient solar gain in the chimney. In climates that are cool at night and hot during the day, it can be good to have more ventilation at night than during the day. A simple solar chimney does the opposite, bringing in the most outside air when it is warmest outside. Thermal mass in the chimney, combined with a damper to shut down the convection during the heat of the day, can be used to shift the solar chimney effect to the night, but with a low-solar-gain thermal chimney, you get convection at the right time automatically, passively.

Maybe there should be a separate "thermal chimney" article. Ccrrccrr (talk) 12:52, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

 * As mentioned, incoming air may pre-cooled by leading it through underground ducts before it is allowed to enter the building, in order to provide cooling even when it is hot outside. Also, the article already mentions the possibility of integrating the solar chimney with a Trombe wall; that would provide the thermal mass needed to shift ventilation to the night. In addition, you may want to cap the chimney to create a Venturi effect, to create an updraft whenever a breeze is present. Combine all this low-tech with one high-tech gadget, i.e.: a thermostat-controlled damper, and you are in business :-) JdH (talk) 17:31, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Precedent Study: The Environmental Building
This section looks more like an outline of a project plan than an encyclopedic article. "The Building Research Establishment (BRE) office building in Garston, incorporates solar assisted passive ventilation stacks as part of its ventilation strategy." What is this 'Building Research Establishment'? Where is this 'Garston'? Who is the architect mentioned here? Modallist (talk) 15:04, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Urlingford

Urlingford is a town in County Kilkenny, Ireland. It is also a civil parish within the barony of Galmoy. The town is in the north west of the county, along the boundary with County Tipperary, 16 km north-east of Thurles.

Access
The town lies on the R639. The M8 motorway runs just west of the town, from which both Urlingford and nearby Johnstown are accessed via junction four. Urlingford is a bus hub, with major operator JJ Kavanagh and Sons based there. Situated 125 km from Dublin and 129 km from Cork, Urlingford has long been a resting point for travellers halfway between the Republic of Ireland's two largest cities. As a result, until September 2013 the Bus Éireann Dublin to Cork bus service called here. It is now replaced by route 828 which connects with express buses at Portlaoise and Cashel.

Toponymy
The Irish name Áth na nUrlainn means "ford of the slaughter" and has been anglicised as Aghnenurlin, Aghnenoorlin, Awnanoorlin and similar.

History
In 1526, Piers Butler, 8th Earl of Ormond, gave possession of the lands of Urlingford to John Tobin and Nicolas Mothing (chaplins). The earlier settlement was focused around the castle, church and graveyard.

The town had an organised planned growth with traditional plot patterns. It was built over a cut-over bog, an extension to the Templetuohy Bog, much of which has been reclaimed. Urlingford is a linear town around the focused primary axis, the Main Street. In 1837 it was the centre of manufacture of coarse stuffs, flannels, and worsteds, and carries on an extensive retail trade with the surrounding districts.

The town was recorded on Griffith's Valuation in 1864. Urlingford has taken part in the Tidy Towns Competition.

Rivers
A minor tributary of the River Nore, the River Goul, enters the town from the southeast. It sources 6 kilometers away from the town in the Slieveardagh hills. The river passes under the Main Street and towards the bridge at Urlingford Castle (and mill).

Buildings
There is a library in Urlingford which is based in the old courthouse. Urlingford Castle and mill are located in Urlingford.

Sport
Emeralds GAA is a junior Gaelic Athletic Association club, founded in 1972.

Saint-Laurent-du-Var

Saint-Laurent-du-Var (Occitan: Sant Laurenç de Var, Italian: San Lorenzo del Varo) is a commune in the Alpes-Maritimes department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region on the French Riviera.

History
The town was founded in the 11th century when a hospice was founded under Saint Lawrence's protection. The main activity was to help passengers to cross the Var, which became a border between Kingdom of France and County of Nice in 1481.

Geography
St. Laurent is the second-largest suburb of the city of Nice, after Cagnes-sur-Mer, in the urban community of Nice Côte d'Azur. It lies adjacent to it on the west side on the other side of the river Var.

Nowadays, the town has developed much and its population has been multiplied by ten in the last century and it is now part of Nice metropolitan area.

The suburb's positioning, close to Nice and with an abundance of flatlands – which is a rare resource in this region – led to the building of CAP 3000, the Côte d'Azur's biggest mall, and an industrial zone with many dynamic activities.

The beaches include a yacht club where you can learn how to sail. There are also many water activities including sail boarding and kiting. There is a natural bird and fish conservation area opposite the Holiday Inn.

Along the promenade Flots Bleus and extending to the Port of Saint Laurent there are numerous restaurants and bars which attract many locals and tourists.

Transportation
St. Laurent is located close to "Nice Côte d'Azur" Airport, in the eastern side of Var river, Nice. The town also has a harbor, an interchange on the motorway A8, and a railway station (Saint-Laurent-du-Var station) on the Marseille-Toulon-Nice-Ventimiglia line.

Twin towns
Saint-Laurent-du-Var is twinned with:
 * 🇩🇪 Landsberg am Lech (Germany)
 * 🇭🇺 Siófok (Hungary)
 * 🇩🇪 Waldheim (Germany)
 * 🇫🇷 all the French towns named "Saint-Laurent" (95 in Metropolitan France)
 * Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni (French Guiana)

Division of Fenner

The Division of Fenner is an Australian Electoral Division in the Australian Capital Territory and the Jervis Bay Territory. As of the 2018 redistribution, it includes Gungahlin and the part of Belconnen north of Belconnen Way and west of Eastern Valley Way, Aikman Drive and William Slim Drive (the suburbs of Belconnen, Charnwood, Dunlop, Evatt, Florey, Flynn, Fraser, Higgins, Holt, Latham, Macgregor, Macnamara, McKellar, Melba, Page, Scullin, Spence and Strathnairn). It also includes the Jervis Bay Territory.

Geography
Federal electoral division boundaries in Australia are determined at redistributions by a redistribution committee appointed by the Australian Electoral Commission. Redistributions occur for the boundaries of divisions in a particular state or territory, and they occur every seven years, or sooner if a state or territory's representation entitlement changes or when divisions of a state or territory are malapportioned.

History
Fenner replaced the abolished Division of Fraser from 2016. Fraser was always a safe seat for the Australian Labor Party.

The Australian Electoral Commission decided that, with effect from the 2016 election, the former Division of Fraser would be changed to the Division of Fenner, to honour scientist Frank Fenner. The name change was due to plans by the AEC to name a seat in Victoria after former prime minister Malcolm Fraser. The proposed name change met with opposition from a number of ACT residents. For instance, former ACT Chief Minister Jon Stanhope said that the name change "traduces" the legacy of Jim Fraser, the MP for Division of Australian Capital Territory from 1951 to 1970 and a man "close to the heart of Canberrans." He also claimed that Fenner himself would have objected to the proposal.

Fenner originally included the land in the ACT north of the Molonglo River and Lake Burley Griffin, including the districts of Belconnen, Gungahlin, North Canberra, except Civic, Acton, Turner south of Haig Park and east of Sullivans Creek, Braddon south of Haig Park, Reid, Campbell and Pialligo.

At the 2018 redistribution, it lost all of its territory in North Canberra, the rural districts of Majura and Kowen and the Belconnen suburbs of Aranda, Bruce, Cook, Giralang, Hawker, Kaleen, Lawson, Macquarie and Weetangera to Canberra.

Edward Quinn

Edward Quinn (1920–1997) was born in Ireland. He lived and worked as a photographer from the 1950s, on the Côte d'Azur, during the "golden fifties" the playground of the celebrities from the world of show biz, art and business.

The rich and the famous came to the French Riviera to relax. But the movie stars knew how much their off-screen image counted; Quinn was at the right place at the right time, making spontaneous images which caught their charm, sophistication and chic. Amongst celebrities and stars captured on film by Quinn were Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Brigitte Bardot, Marlon Brando, Sophia Loren, Aristotle Onassis, Maria Callas, Winston Churchill, and Somerset Maugham.

In 1951 Edward Quinn met and photographed Pablo Picasso for the first time. Their friendship lasted until Picasso's death in 1973. This encounter with Picasso was to be greatly influential to Quinn himself and to his subsequent work. Quinn is the author of several books and films about Picasso.

Since the 1960s Quinn concentrated his work on artists, amongst them Max Ernst, Alexander Calder, Francis Bacon, Salvador Dalí, Graham Sutherland, David Hockney.

In the late 1980s an intense relationship, similar to his friendship with Picasso, linked Quinn to Georg Baselitz.

From 1992 until his death in 1997, Edward Quinn lived near Zürich with his Swiss wife Gret, who died in 2011. Quinn's nephew Wolfgang Frei now manages the extensive photo archive and founded the Edward Quinn Archive Ltd.
