Dodoma Dodoma City, is the national capital of Tanzania and the capital of Dodoma Region, with a population of 410,956. Located in the centre of the country, the town is 453 kilometres west of the former capital at Dar es Salaam and 441 kilometres south of Arusha, the headquarters of the East African Community, it is 259 kilometres north of Iringa through Mtera. It covers an area of 2,669 square kilometres. A small market town known as Idodomya, the modern Dodoma was founded in 1907 by German colonists during construction of the Tanzanian central railway; the layout followed the typical colonial planning of the time with a European quarter segregated from a native village. In 1967, following independence, the government invited Canadian firm Project Planning Associates Ltd to draw up a master plan to help control and organise the capital of the country, Dar es Salaam, undergoing rapid urbanisation and population growth; the plan was cancelled in 1972, in part due to its failure to adequately address the historical and social problems associated with the city.

In 1974, after a nationwide party referendum, the Tanzanian government announced that the capital would be moved from Dar es Salaam to a more central location to create significant social and economic improvements for the central region and to centralise the capital within the country. The cost envisaged to take 10 years; the site, the Dodoma region, had been looked at as a potential new capital as early as 1915 by the colonial power Germany, in 1932 by the British as a League of Nations mandate and again in the post-independence National Assembly in 1961 and 1966. With an already-established town at a major crossroads, the Dodoma region had an agreeable climate, room for development and was located in the geographic centre of the nation, its location in a rural environment was seen as the ujamaa heartland and therefore appropriate for a ujamaa capital that could see and learn from neighbouring villages and maintain a close relationship to the land. A new capital was seen as a more economically viable alternative than attempting to reorganise and restructure Dar es Salaam and was idealised as a way of diverting development away from continued concentration in a single coastal city, seen as anathema to the government's goal of socialist unity and development.

Objectives for the new capital included: that the city become a symbol of Tanzania's social and cultural values and aspirations. The Capital Development Authority invited three international firms to submit proposals for the best location and preparation of a master plan: Project Planning Associates Ltd. of Canada. A fourth firm from Germany submitted a proposal without invitation; the winner, decided by the CDA together with independent American consultants, was Project Planning Associates, the same Canadian consultants whose plan for Dar es Salaam was seen as inadequate and not responsive enough to the local conditions and needs for Tanzania’s largest city. Their plan envisaged a city of 400,000 persons by 2000 and 1.3 million by 2020. The official capital since 1996, Dodoma was envisaged as the first non-monumental capital city as opposed to the monumentality and hierarchy of other planned capital cities such as Abuja and Washington, it rejected geometrical forms such as grid iron and radial plans as inappropriate as the urban form was intended to undulate and curve with the existing topography and not in conflict with it so as to retain its rural ujamaa feel.

As befitted Tanzania’s development at the time, the car was seen as secondary in importance to public transports such as buses which were utilised by much of the population. In 1974, Dodoma had a population of 40,000 and was chosen as the actual site of the new capital as opposed to nearby Hombolo or Ihumwa; the existing population size was not seen as an impediment while existing infrastructure would reduce construction costs. The city, designed over 2,500 acres, was meant to be "the chief village in a nation of villages", built at a human scale meant to be experienced on foot, its basic principles follow the garden city model of a town set amongst a garden with green belts separating segregated zones for residents and industry. As part of the move of the government, a capitol complex was envisaged and multiple designs by different international teams offered competing visions and versions of the siting and layout of a capitol complex; these competing proposals, some paid for by foreign governments as a form of aid and others by the firms involved were presented as early as 1978.

However, it was not until 2006 that the Chinese government delivered a finished parliament building in Dodoma. The final location of the parliament was not in its original intended location in the master plan, with the location now being developed as a site for a university; as much of the initial design never came to fruition over the past 40 years, government offices and embassies have resisted moving offices to Dodoma. As a result, many government offices remain in Dar es Salaam, which remains the commercial and the de facto capital of Tanzania. Dodoma was envisaged as a nation-building project to cement a newly post-colonial independence identity and direction in Tanzania, is similar to p

The Mecanum wheel is a omnidirectional wheel design for a land-based vehicle to move in any direction. It is sometimes called the Ilon wheel after its inventor, Bengt Erland Ilon, who came up with the concept while working as an engineer with the Swedish company Mecanum AB, patented it in the United States on November 13, 1972; the Mecanum wheel is based on a tireless wheel, with a series of rubberized external rollers obliquely attached to the whole circumference of its rim. These rollers each have an axis of rotation at 45° to the wheel plane and at 45° to the axle line; each Mecanum wheel is an independent non-steering drive wheel with its own powertrain, when spinning generates a propelling force perpendicular to the roller axle, which can be vectored into a longitudinal and a transverse component in relation to the vehicle. The typical Mecanum design is the four-wheel configuration as demonstrated by one of the URANUS omni-directional mobile robot or a wheelchair with Mecanum wheels. With an alternating with left- and right-handed rollers whose axles are parallel to the diagonal of the vehicle frame on which the wheels are mounted.

In such a way, each wheel will apply a force at right angles to the frame diagonal. By varying the rotational speed and direction of each wheel, the summation of the force vectors from all the wheels will create both linear motions and/or rotations of the vehicle, allowing it to maneuver around with minimal need for space. For example: Running all four wheels in the same direction at the same speed will result in a forward or backward movement, as the longitudinal force vectors add up but the tranverse vectors cancel each other out. A mix of differential wheel motions will allow for vehicle motion in any direction with any rotation; the US Navy bought the patent from Ilon and put researchers to work on it in the 1980s in Panama City. The US Navy has used it for transporting items around ships. In 1997, Airtrax Incorporated and several other companies each paid the US Navy $2,500 for rights to the technology, including old drawings of how the motors and controllers worked, to build an omnidirectional forklift truck that could maneuver in tight spaces such as the deck of an aircraft carrier.

These vehicles are now in production. Tracked vehicles and skid steer vehicles utilize similar methods for turning. However, these vehicles drag across the ground while turning and may do considerable damage to a soft or fragile surface; the high friction against the ground while turning requires high-torque engines to overcome the friction. By comparison, the design of the Mecanum wheel allows for in-place rotation with minimal ground friction and low torque.

Seven Keys to Baldpate is a 1917 American silent mystery/thriller film produced by George M. Cohan and distributed by Artcraft Pictures, an affiliate of Paramount; the film is based on Cohan's play of the novel by Earl Derr Biggers. Cohan himself stars in this silent version along with Anna Q. Nilsson and Hedda Hopper, billed under her real name Elda Furry. One version of the play preceded this movie in 1916 and numerous versions followed in the succeeding decades such as the early RKO talkie starring Richard Dix. Seven Keys to Baldpate is an extant film with much home video availability; as described in a film magazine, George Washington Magee bets a companion $5,000 that he can write a bestseller in twenty-four hours. He goes to an isolated summer hotel in the mountains, receives the only key to the place, sets about his task. Soon he is interrupted by complications as guests arrive and uninvited, each with their own key to the deserted hotel. Two hundred thousand dollars gets deposited in the hotel safe, a young woman is shot, while the author holds the crooks at bay waiting for the police to arrive, they cook up a scheme to turn the tables on George.

The woman's body disappears from the room, the crooks are marched off to prison by U. S. Secret Service men; the caretaker returns the following night and congratulates the author on his success, a lady reporter capitulates under the smiles of the industrious writer. George M. Cohan as George Washington Magee Anna Q. Nilsson as Mary Norton Elda Furry as Myra Thornhill Corene Uzzell as Mrs. Rhodes Joseph W.

The plot is far-fetched and sometimes confusing, the fact that some sections of the plot are replaced by title cards doesn’t help, but I like the backstory, there’s an air of parody to the proceedings.

At this point of time, I’d have to say it’s my favorite version of the story." The House That Shadows Built Seven Keys to Baldpate on IMDb Seven Keys to Baldpate at AllMovie Seven Keys to Baldpate at the Internet Archive
