Hyde Exploring Expedition

The Hyde Exploring Expedition, sponsored by brothers Talbot and Fred Hyde Jr., who were grandsons and heirs of Babbitt Hyde and heirs to the Benjamin T. Babbitt Bab-O soap company fortune,George H. Pepper, conducted excavations in Chaco Canyon from 1896 to 1901, when accusations of impropriety levied by Edgar L. Hewett put an end to their archeological surveys. A subsequent investigation by Steven Holsinger of the US General Land Office vindicated the Hydes and their partner, Richard Wetherill.

Electromembrane extraction

Electro membrane extraction, or EME, is a miniaturized liquid-liquid extraction technique developed for sample preparation of aqueous samples prior to analysis by chromatography, electrophoresis, mass spectrometry, and related techniques in analytical chemistry.

Principle

Target compounds are extracted from an aqueous sample, through a µL-volume of organic solvent sustained as a thin supported liquid membrane (SLM) in the pores in the wall of a porous hollow fiber, and into an acceptor solution inside the lumen of the hollow fiber. Extraction is based on electrokinetic migration in an electrical field sustained across the SLM. The volume of the acceptor solution is typically 5-25 µL. The acceptor solution is an aqueous solution, and can be analyzed by liquid chromatography (LC) or capillary electrophoresis (CE).

Advantages

EME is closely related to liquid-phase microextraction (LPME) and provides high pre-concentration and efficient sample clean-up. In addition, because the extraction is performed under the influence of an electrical field, the extraction selectivity can be controlled by the direction and the magnitude of the electrical field.

Nascent hydrogen

Nascent hydrogen is an outdated concept in organic chemistry that was once invoked to explain dissolving-metal reactions, such as the Clemmensen reduction and the Bouveault–Blanc reduction. Since organic compounds do not react with H2, a special state of hydrogen was postulated. It is now understood that dissolving-metal reactions occur at the metal surface, and the concept of nascent hydrogen has been discredited in organic chemistry.atomic hydrogen is largely invoked in inorganic chemistry and corrosion sciences to explain hydrogen embrittlement in metals exposed to electrolysis and anaerobic corrosion (e.g., dissolution of zinc in strong acids (HCl) and aluminium in strong bases (NaOH). The mechanism of hydrogen embrittlement was first proposed by Johnson (1875).organic reagents in organic solvents does not exclude the transient formation of hydrogen atoms capable to immediately diffuse into the crystal lattice of common metals (steel, titanium) different from these of the platinoid group (Pt, Pd, Rh, Ru, Ni) which are well known to dissociate molecular dihydrogen (H2) into atomic hydrogen.

History

The idea of hydrogen in the nascent state having chemical properties different from those of molecular hydrogen developed the mid-19th century. Alexander Williamson repeatedly refers to nascent hydrogen in his textbook Chemistry for Students, for example writing of the substitution reaction of carbon tetrachloride with hydrogen to form products such as chloroform and dichloromethane that the "hydrogen must for this purpose be in the nascent state, as free hydrogen does not produce the effect".Marcellin Berthelot.x calories".

The term "nascent hydrogen" continued to be invoked into the 20th century.

Reducing agents at low and high pH

Devarda's alloy (alloy of aluminium (~45%), copper (~50%) and zinc (~5%)) is a reducing agent that was commonly used in wet analytical chemistry to produce in situ so-called nascent hydrogen under alkaline conditions for the determination of nitrates (NO−
3) after their reduction into ammonia (NH
3).


Nascent hydrogen

In the Marsh test, used for arsenic determination (from the reduction of arsenate (AsO3−
4) and arsenite (AsO3−
3) into arsine (AsH
3)), hydrogen is generated by contacting zinc powder with hydrochloric acid.

So, hydrogen can be conveniently produced at low or high pH, according to the volatility of the species to be detected. Acid conditions in the Marsh test promote the fast escape of the arsine gas (AsH3), while under hyperalkaline solution, the degassing of the reduced ammonia (NH3) is greatly facilitated (the ammonium ion NH+
4 being soluble in aqueous solution under acidic conditions).

Jakob Johan Sigfrid Friis (27 April 1883 – 12 December 1956) was a Norwegian journalist, publicist, historian and archivist. He was a newspaper editor and member of the Norwegian Parliament.

Biography

Jakob Friis was born in Røros in Sør-Trøndelag as the son of Jakob Pavels Friis (1827–1912) and Johanne Berg (1850–1924). He graduated cand.philol. degree in history from the University of Oslo in 1909.

He spoke English, French, German and Russian fluently and spent his professional career as a journalist and a state archivist. He was a journalist in Socialdemokraten from 1909 to 1912, Ny Tid from 1915 to 1917, Arbeiderbladet from 1917 to 1924 and Norges Kommunistblad from 1928 to 1929. Upon the suggestion from Martin Tranmæl, he became editor-in-chief of Rjukan Arbeiderblad from 1925 to 1928 and the working class encyclopedia Arbeidernes Leksikon from 1930 to 1936. He worked in the National Archives (Riksarkivet) from 1912 to 1915, followed by the regional state archives: in Trondhjem 1915-1917, Kristiania 1917-1922 and Kristiansand 1934-1953.

Friis was a member of Aker municipal council between 1919 and 1922, and of Kristiansand city council between 1937 and 1940. He chaired the municipal party chapter from 1936 to 1937. Friis represented the Labour Party at the Second and Third Comintern World Congresses; he was also a member of the Executive Committee of the Communist International from 1920 to 1921. Friis became a Communist Party member in 1928. He left the party in 1933, and rejoined the Labour Party in 1936.


Jakob Friis

After World War II. Friis was elected to the Parliament of Norway from the Market towns of Vest-Agder and Rogaland counties in 1945, and was re-elected after his first period by an overwhelming majority. He was on the left wing of the Labour Party, and was the original editor of the newspaper Orientering in 1952, having published the book Kritikk av norsk utenrikspolitikk etter krigen in 1952. He was one of its chief editors until his death in 1956.

He died in Kristiansand and was buried at Vår Frelsers gravlund in Oslo.

Jeb (play)

Jeb was a play by Robert Ardrey that opened on Broadway in February 1946 tackling the issue of race in post-World War II America. The play deals with a disabled black veteran who returns to his home in the rural South after serving overseas.

Despite excellent reviews and an extremely positive critical reception, the play closed after a very short run, leading several commentators to assert that it was ahead of its time.

Synopsis

The playwright, Robert Ardrey, gave the following synopsis of Jeb:

The story had been haunting me. It concerned a black soldier whom I named Jeb, who returned from the Pacific war with an aluminum leg. The loss of the leg disturbed him not at all, for to his pride he had acquired a skill in the army: he could run an adding machine. And the story takes place when he returns to his family, to his girl, and to the small Southern town where an adding machine is a white man's job. He pursues his passionate ambition against relentless opposition, and in the end we find him in northern Harlem, physically beaten yet undefeated, prepared to return to the South in a larger cause. It was the story of the making of a militant.

Production

The playwright, Robert Ardrey, was by the time of Jeb already an acclaimed screenwriter. He had also had several plays produced on Broadway. His most famous, and his first contribution to what he described as the théâtre engagé,Thunder Rock, which also ran into difficulties because of its pioneering social theme. Ardrey would go on to be an eminent paleoantropologist.

Jeb was produced and directed by Herman Shumlin. It was one of the only Broadway plays of its time to offer major opportunities to African American actors, and had a majority-black cast.Ossie Davis (who would go on to be one of the most acclaimed African American actors of his generation and a favorite of Spike Lee),Ruby Dee (who went on to co-star in A Raisin in the Sun),Reri Grist.

Reception


Jeb (play)

Reception

Due in part to high production costs and relatively low revenue the play closed after only seven performances.Jeb garnered widespread critical praise.Billboard wrote, “Robert Ardrey has scripted a drama that has the guts and the power to make you angry… Jeb is absorbing from curtain to curtain.”New York Herald Tribune, wrote "A play which I would not have missed… Drama of high eloquence and indignation… Robert Ardrey has considered the subject squarely and savagely."

The play's Broadway failure despite its acknowledged merit led several commentators to opine that it was ahead of its time. Albert Wertheim, in his 2004 study, wrote:

Indeed, Jeb shows how the participation of African Americans in World War II and the occupational training they received in the armed forces prepare them in the postwar period to dress for battle in a new war to end racial discrimination and oppression at home. This is heady and unsettling stuff in 1946 for Broadway audiences and for society trying to return to prewar 'normalcy' and to put returning white soldiers back into the work force. It is no small wonder that Jeb, with its incisive unveiling of racism’s economic underpinnings and with its militant ending, closed after six performances.

Ardrey himself came to share this opinion. In his autobiography he writes, "I had done it again. In 1939 I opened Thunder Rock six months too soon. In 1946 I had opened Jeb twenty years ahead of its time."

Gyula Bornemisza

The native form of this personal name is kászoni és impérfalvai báró Bornemisza Gyula. This article uses Western name order when mentioning individuals.

Baron Gyula Bornemisza de Kászon et Impérfalva (Bornemissza; 16 December 1873 – 30 December 1925) was a Hungarian aristocrat and diplomat.

Life and career

Gyula Bornemisza was born into an old Transylvanian noble family of Székely origin, as one of the six children of royal and imperial chamberlain Baron Tivadar Bornemisza (1843–1902) and Baroness Róza Jósika. Gyula and one of his brothers, János studied at the Jesuit school of Stella Matutina in Feldkirch, then the Kalksburg College in Vienna.

In 1919 he was part of the counter-revolutionary government (firstly formed in Arad) under the leadership of Count Gyula Károlyi, which was established to oppose the Hungarian Soviet Republic. In this government he was Minister of Foreign Affairs from 5 May to 31 May. Along with other members of the government, Bornemisza was interned by Romanian authorities to Mezőhegyes between 9 May and 22 May, during the Romanian intervention in Hungary.

In 1920 he became envoy to the embassy of the Imperial Family-in-exile in Switzerland, the actual representation of Hungary in Switzerland. From November 1920 he also officially became the head of the Hungarian diplomatic mission in Switzerland. This he remained until March 1921.

Bornemisza was married to Klára Bethlen de Bethlen at Sarn bei Brixen in 1912, with whom he had four sons and a daughter.

Lafayette Leopards men's ice hockey

The Lafayette Leopards men's ice hockey team is a college ice hockey program that represents Lafayette College. The team currently operates an unofficial club team but the university previously sponsored varsity ice hockey between 1936 and 1941.

History

The first attempt at forming an ice hockey team at Lafayette came in the 1920s. While nothing materialized at the time, the students did eventually put together the first unofficial hockey club in 1935.Athletic Director Henry W. Clark, who was aided by Religious Studies professor Dale H. Moore, Lafayette played its first official game in February 1937. A few weeks later, the team won its first game by defeating nearby rival Lehigh.

After a second season, the school decided to discontinue its support for the team, which then continued in an unofficial capacity.

After World War II, the team was reformed, however, it only did so in an unofficial capacity.

Ozone Vibe

The Ozone Vibe is a French single-place paraglider that was designed by hang gliding and paragliding world champion pilot Robbie Whittall and produced by Ozone Gliders of Le Bar-sur-Loup. It is no longer in production.

Design and development

The Vibe was designed as an intermediate recreational sports glider. This was the first model the company produced that came in six different sizes, allowing more precise matching of pilot weight and wing loading. The models are each named for their relative size.

Operational history

Reviewer Noel Bertrand described the Ozone series of gliders in a 2003 review as, "wings that are both pleasant to fly and high performance in their respective categories".

Painted buttonquail

The painted buttonquail (Turnix varius) is a species of buttonquail, the family Turnicidae, which resemble, but are unrelated to, the quails of Phasianidae. This species is resident in Australia where numbers are believed to be in decline. A subspecies, the Abrolhos painted buttonquail (Turnix varius scintillans), is endemic to the Houtman Abrolhos islands.

Taxonomy

The painted buttonquail was first described by the English ornithologist John Latham in 1801 under the binomial name Perdix varia.

"Painted buttonquail" has been designated the official name by the International Ornithologists' Union (IOC).

Two subspecies are recognised.

The possibly-extinct New Caledonian buttonquail (Turnix novaecaledoniae) of New Caledonia was formerly considered conspecific, but was split as a distinct species by the IOC in 2021.

Description

Chicks (mainland subspecies) adopting a defensive posture

The painted buttonquail is about 19 to 20 cm (7.5 to 7.9 in) long. It is a ground-dwelling bird and is found in grassy forests and woodlands. It feeds on insects and seeds, and the males incubate the eggs for a fortnight and then care for the young.

The female is the more brightly coloured of the sexes. Her eyes are red, and her crown, face and breast are flecked with white. Her shoulders are chestnut with thin white streaking above them. The male is slightly smaller and duller in colour.

Distribution and habitat

The painted buttonquail is native to Australia. Its range extends from Queensland southwards to New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania. A separate population is present in the southwestern part of Western Australia. The subspecies Turnix varius scintillans is endemic to the Houtman Abrolhos islands off the west coast of Australia.

The painted buttonquail became established on Rottnest Island around 2002.

Status


Painted buttonquail

Status

The painted buttonquail has a wide range. An estimate of the population size has not been made but numbers are suspected to be in decline. It is said to be common in suitable habitat in some areas and uncommon in others. The IUCN has listed it as being of "Least Concern".

Lady (sculpture)

Lady is an outdoor sculpture by Jan Zach, installed outside the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, between Prince Lucien Campbell Hall and Condon Hall, on the University of Oregon campus in Eugene, Oregon, in the United States. The 14-foot (4.3 m) painted steel sculpture was donated to the museum in 2014. It was commissioned by Inacio Peixoto, in memory of his wife, and marked Zach's final work. The sculpture was a work in progress when Zach died in 1986, but his former student Jerry Harpster was able to fabricate Zach's original vision.


Nasco (grape)

The Cagliari Region of Italy's Sardinia Island--home of the Nasco grape

Nasco is a white Italian wine grape variety that is grown primarily in Sardinia around the city of Cagliari. The grape has a long history on the island and is described by wine expert Jancis Robinson as "ancient".Denominazione di origine controllata (DOC) designation, Nasco di Cagliari, for varietal wines that are 95–100% Nasco.

History

While the grape was once widely planted throughout Sardinia, vineyards were devastated by the phylloxera epidemic of the 19th century and Nasco's numbers have been slow to rebound. Today there are less than 40 hectares (100 acres) of the vine planted on the island.

DOC wines

The DOC zone for Nasco extends south and west of the Gennargentu mountains and includes the broad Campidano plain.secco), sweet (dolce) and fortified (liquoroso) styles. Nasco grapes that are destined for DOC wine production must be harvested to a yield no greater than 10 tonnes/hectare. The finished wines must reach a certain minimum alcohol level based on the style of the particular wine ranging from 13.5% for dolce, 14.5% secco and 17.5% for liquoroso wines. A separate Riserva bottling can also be produced provided the wine is aged a minimum of two years prior to release with at least one of those years being spent in oak.

Synonyms

Over the years Nasco has been known under a variety of synonyms including Basco Bianco, Nasco Bianco, Nasco di Sardegna, Nascu, Nasko Sardinskii, Nusco, Ogu de Aranna and Resu.

Gyula Dallos

Gyula Dallos (born 11 April 1950) is a Hungarian dressage rider and horse trainer.

Dallos found his career-making horse Aktion in 1989. They went on to compete at two World Equestrian Games (in 1994 and 1998), four European Dressage Championships (in 1991, 1993, 1997 and 1999) and six World Cup Finals.

Dallos was set to compete at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, however Aktion suffered viral pneumonia shortly after arriving to the competition site, which sidelined them from taking part. They were scheduled to make Hungary's Olympic debut in dressage, and were considered a medal outsiders following a podium finish at the CHIO Aachen shortly before the Games. At the 1993 European Championships, Dallos and Aktion won a freestyle bronze, the first major dressage medal won for Hungary.

Dallos was once again set to compete at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, however Aktion failed to pass the horse inspection going into the competition.

In total, Dallos achieved 154 international victories aboard Aktion, which include 11 World Cup qualifiers and 11 Hungarian Championships.

The LEA Vision Test System is a series of pediatric vision tests designed specifically for children who do not know how to read the letters of the alphabet that are typically used in eye charts. There are numerous variants of the LEA test which can be used to assess the visual capabilities of near vision and distance vision, as well as several other aspects of occupational health, such as contrast sensitivity, visual field, color vision, visual adaptation, motion perception, and ocular function and accommodation (eye).

History

The first version of the LEA test was developed in 1976 by Finnish pediatric ophthalmologist Lea Hyvärinen, MD, PhD. Dr. Hyvärinen completed her thesis on fluorescein angiography and helped start the first clinical laboratory in that area while serving as a fellow at the Wilmer Eye Institute of Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1967. During her time with the Wilmer Institute, she became interested in vision rehabilitation and assessment and has been working in that field since the 1970s, training rehabilitation teams, designing new visual assessment devices, and teaching. The first test within the LEA Vision Test System that Dr. Hyvarinen created was the classic LEA Symbols Test followed shortly by the LEA Numbers Test which was used in comparison studies within the field of occupational medicine.

Accuracy

Among the array of visual assessment picture tests that exist, the LEA symbols tests are the only tests that have been calibrated against the standardized Landolt C vision test symbol. The Landolt C is an optotype that is used throughout most of the world as the standardized symbol for measuring visual acuity. It is identical to the "C" that is used in the traditional Snellen chart.

In addition to this, the LEA symbols test has been experimentally verified to be both a valid and reliable measure of visual acuity. As is desirable of a good vision test, each of the four optotypes used in the symbols test has been proven to measure visual acuity similarly and blur equally as well, supporting the test's internal consistency.


Lea test

A study published in Acta Ophthalmologica Scandinavica in 2006visual acuity in preschool children. The study, which compared visual acuity diagnoses from Lea symbols tests to those obtained via ophthalmological examination, revealed that the Lea symbols chart provided an accurate and sufficient assessment in 95.9% of the 149 preschool-age children tested. This suggests that Lea tests can be used confidently as an alternative to more costly and time-consuming pediatric tests of visual acuity.

Importance

The unique design of the LEA tests and their special optotypes allow for pediatric low vision to be diagnosed in children at much younger ages than standard vision tests allow. This is especially important in young children who possess other physical disabilities or mental disabilities and are entitled to receive early special education benefits. More than half of children who suffer from low vision also have other impairments or disabilities. Most of the LEA tests can also be used on children with significant brain damage and serve as one of the few methods that can accurately assess visual acuity in these situations.

Versions

The LEA Vision Test System currently contains over 40 different tests which target the assessment of many aspects of vision and communication deficiencies in both children and adults.

LEA Symbols Test

The oldest and most basic form of the LEA test is simply referred to as the "LEA Symbols Test". This test consists of four optotypes (test symbols): the outlines of an apple, a pentagon, a square, and a circle. Because these four symbols can be named and easily identified as everyday, concrete objects ("apple", "house", "window", and "ring"), they can be recognized at an earlier age than abstract letters or numbers can be. This enables preschool children to be tested for visual acuity long before they become familiar with the letter and numbers used in other standard vision charts.

The LEA Symbols Test is often used in the form of the three-dimensional (3-D) LEA Puzzle. This puzzle incorporates color along with the four standard optotypes to allow for measurement of visual acuity in children as young as fourteen months of age.

LEA Numbers Test

LEA Numbers Test

The "LEA Numbers Test" was the second of the LEA tests that was developed and can be used to test the visual acuity of older children and even adults. This test has a layout similar to a typical Snellen chart, with lines of numbers decreasing in size towards the bottom of the page. Like the optotypes of the LEA Symbols Test, these numbers are also calibrated against the Landolt C and blur equally.

LEA Grating Acuity Test

This test allows for the assessment of grating acuity, especially in children who possess severe or multiple visual deficiencies. The "LEA Gratings Test" has also been shown to be successful in vision testing of children with brain damage and is the only test that can reveal their limited capacity for the processing of large numbers of parallel lines.

LEA Contrast Sensitivity Test

Visual information that is presented in low contrast settings is very important to the process of visual communication. It is especially vital to assess a child's contrast sensitivity at a young age in order to determine the distance and accuracy with the child can distinguish facial features. A very popular test designed specifically for this reason is the "Hiding Heidi Low Contrast Face Pictures" test (which the LEA Vision Test System produces a version of.) This test uses a series of cards depicting cartoon faces of different contrast levels. The contrast sensitivity assessment obtained from this test is very important in educational settings because children with contrast deficiencies have extreme difficulty receiving visual cues from body language or facial expressions and often can't read the blackboard or projector.

Grant v Norway

Grant v Norway (1851) Law of Carriage of Goods by Sea; but since 1992 it has no longer been good law.

This was an action upon the case by the indorsees of a bill of lading, against the owners of a vessel, to recover the amount of advances made by the former upon the bills of lading, the goods never having in fact been shipped.

The court held that a statement in a bill of lading that goods have been shipped is of only prima facie evidential value, and its terms may be rebutted by evidence to the contrary.

The justification for the case was that a carrier should not suffer liability if (as was not uncommon at the time) the ship's master had fraudulently colluded with a dishonest shipper and had issued a bill declaring untruthfully that goods had been loaded. (The master would normally be both an employee and an agent of the carrier, but would (in both roles) be acting in breach of the legal fiduciary duty to his employer/principal).

The Hague-Visby Rules continued with this view, with Article III (4) stating:

"Such a bill of lading shall be prima facie evidence of the receipt by the carrier of the goods as therein described in accordance with paragraph 3 (a), (b) and (c). However, proof to the contrary shall not be admissible when the bill of lading has been transferred to a third party acting in good faith."

Although the UK has adopted the Hague-Visby Rules,English Law a bill of lading is now deemed to be conclusive (not merely prima facie) evidence of receipt as a result of section 4 of the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act 1992. The reason for the change is that the Law CommissionGrant v Norway has been rendered void by the 1992 Act.

Diascordium

In pre-modern medicine, diascordium (medical Lat diascordium, for diascordiōn, from Gr διὰ σκορδίων, [a preparation] of scordium, σκόρδιον, "a strong-smelling plant mentioned by Dioscorides", possibly Teucrium scordiumdiascord, is a kind of electuary, or opiate, first described by Jerome Frascata, and denominated from the dried leaves of scordium, which is an ingredient therein.bole, storax, cinnamon, cassia lignea (coarse bark of Cinnamomum cassia), dittany, tormentil roots, bistort, gentian, galbanum, amber, terra sigillata, opium, long pepper, ginger, mel rosatum, and malmsey. It was used against malignant fevers, the plague, worms, colic, to promote sleep, and resist putrefaction.

In 1654, Nicholas Culpeper wrote in his London Dispensatorie about the mixture: "It is a well composed Electuary, a something appropriate to the nature of women, for it Provokes the Terms, hastens their Labor, helps their usual sickness at the time of their Lying-in, I know nothing better."

Over the years, the composition of diascordium was modified, until it gradually changed into what became known as pulvis catechu compositus ("compound powder of catechu").

Judita Popović

Judita Popović (Serbian Cyrillic: Јудита Поповић; born 3 February 1956) is a politician in Serbia. She served in the National Assembly of Serbia from 2008 to 2014 as a member of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and was a deputy speaker of the assembly.

Early life and career

Popović was born in Žitište, Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, in what was then the People's Republic of Serbia in the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia. She graduated from the University of Novi Sad Faculty of Law in 1979. From 1980 to 1984, she was a high school teacher, a journalist for Novi Sad television, and a trainee at the Zrenjanin municipal court. She was elected as a judge at the Zrenjanin court in 1984 and served in this role for the next ten years before resigning to join the Bar Association of Vojvodina and become a practicing lawyer.

Political career

Member of the National Assembly

Popović joined the Liberal Democratic Party in 2007. She received the 180th position on the party's electoral list in the 2008 Serbian parliamentary election. The list won thirteen mandates, and she was subsequently chosen for its assembly delegation.For a European Serbia alliance led by the Democratic Party eventually formed a coalition government with the Socialist Party of Serbia, and the LDP served in opposition. Popović was chosen as a deputy speaker of the assembly in June 2008.

She opposed the Statute of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina in January 2009, arguing that it did not provide the province with significant autonomy or decentralization.Kosovo during the 2010 Kosovan parliamentary election and encouraged Kosovo Serbs to participate in the vote. According to a Radio Television of Kosovo report, she argued that Serb participation would send a message that Kosovo Serbs were willing to integrate into the society of the disputed area.

Popović was part of Serbia's parliamentary friendship with Spain in this sitting of parliament and took part in an assembly delegation to the country in June 2010.Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Hungary, and of the committee on the rights of the child, as well being a LDP vice-president.parliamentary government was not fully developed in Serbia, that most laws were passed without due consideration or scrutiny, and that most citizens were unaware of the workings of government beyond the assembly.


Judita Popović

Serbia's electoral system was reformed in 2011, such that parliamentary mandates were awarded in numerical order to candidates on successful lists. The LDP contested the 2012 Serbian parliamentary election as part of the Preokret (U-Turn) coalition; Popović received the fifteenth position on its list and was re-elected when it won nineteen mandates.Serbian Progressive Party formed a new government with the Socialists and other parties after the election, and the LDP remained in opposition. An early 2013 survey indicated that Popović was one of the most active members of this parliament.

The LDP's list fell below the electoral threshold for assembly representation in the 2014 parliamentary election; all of its candidates, including Popović, were left out of the parliament that followed.2016 election, the party fielded a combined list with the League of Social Democrats of Vojvodina and the Social Democratic Party. Popović received the nineteenth position on the list and missed re-election when it won thirteen mandates.

Provincial

Popović has also sought election to the Assembly of Vojvodina on three occasions. In the 2008 provincial election, she ran as an LDP candidate in Zrenjanin's second division and was defeated. She later appeared on Preokret's electoral list in the 2012 provincial election and on a combined LDP–Social Democratic Party list in the 2016 provincial election.

P14arf

This article is about a tumor suppressor gene. For ARF small GTP-binding protein, see ADP ribosylation factor.

p14ARF (also called ARF tumor suppressor, ARF, p14ARF) is an alternate reading frame protein product of the CDKN2A locus (i.e. INK4a/ARF locus).mitogenic stimulation, such as aberrant growth signaling from MYC and Ras (protein).nucleolus where it forms stable complexes with NPM or Mdm2. These interactions allow p14ARF to act as a tumor suppressor by inhibiting ribosome biogenesis or initiating p53-dependent cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, respectively.reading frame of a different protein, it is highly basic,N-terminus.

Both p16INK4a and p14ARF are involved in cell cycle regulation. p14ARF inhibits mdm2, thus promoting p53, which promotes p21 activation, which then binds and inactivates certain cyclin-CDK complexes, which would otherwise promote transcription of genes that would carry the cell through the G1/S checkpoint of the cell cycle. Loss of p14ARF by a homozygous mutation in the CDKN2A (INK4A) gene will lead to elevated levels in mdm2 and, therefore, loss of p53 function and cell cycle control.

The equivalent in mice is p19ARF.

Background


P14arf

Background

The p14ARF transcript was first identified in humans in 1995,protein product confirmed in mice that same year.chromosome 9 in humans, and on a corresponding location on chromosome 4 in mice.genes for the tandem repeats INK4a and INK4b, which are 16 kDa (p16INK4a) and 15 kDa (p15INK4b) proteins, respectively. These INK4 proteins directly inhibit the cyclin D-dependent kinases CDK4 and CDK6. There are other INK4 genes on other chromosomes, however these are not linked to cancer, and so their functions are not likely to be overlapping. An important cyclin-dependent substrate is the retinoblastoma protein Rb, which is phosphorylated in late gap 1 phase (G1 phase), allowing G1 exit. The Rb protein limits cell proliferation by blocking the activity of E2F transcription factors, which activate the transcription of genes needed for DNA replication. When Rb is phosphorylated by cyclin D and E-dependent kinases during the G1 phase of the cell cycle, Rb can not block E2F-dependent transcription, and the cell can progress to the DNA synthetic phase(S phase).phosphorylation.

In addition to the INK4a protein, the unrelated protein, ARF, is transcribed from an alternate reading frame at the INK4a/ARF locus.exons. They share exons 2 and 3, but there are two different exon 1 transcripts, α and β. Exon 1β (E1β) is intercalated between the genes for INK4a and INK4b.start codon) of exon 1β has its own promoter and opens an alternative reading frame in exon 2, hence the name p14ARF (ARF exon 3 is not translated). Because of this, INK4a and p14ARF have unrelated amino acid sequences despite overlapping coding regions and have distinct functions. This dual-use of coding sequences is not commonly seen in mammals, making p14ARF an unusual protein.ARF]] protein, and in mice, it is translated into the 19kDa, 169 amino acid p19Arf.


P14arf

Although the INK4a and ARF proteins are structurally and functionally different, they are both involved in cell cycle progression. Together, their broad inhibitory role may help counter oncogenic signals. As mentioned above, INK4a inhibits proliferation by indirectly allowing Rb to remain associated with E2F transcription factors. ARF is involved in p53 activation by inhibiting Mdm2 (HDM2 in humans).ubiquitin ligase activity toward p53, and promotes its exportation from the cell nucleus to the cytoplasm for degradation. By antagonizing Mdm2, ARF permits the transcriptional activity of p53 that would lead to cell cycle arrest or apoptosis. A loss of ARF or p53, therefore, would give cells a survival advantage.

The function of ARF has primarily been attributed to its Mdm2/p53 mechanism. ARF does, however, also inhibit proliferation in cells lacking p53 or p53 and Mdm2.nucleophosmin/B23 (NPM).ribosomal chaperone (protein) involved in preribosomal processing and nuclear exportation independent of p53, and oligomerizes with itself and p14ARF. Nearly half of p14ARF is found in NPM-containing complexes with high molecular mass (2 to 5 MDa). Enforced expression of ARF retards early 47S/45S rRNA precursor processing and inhibits 32S rRNA cleavage. This suggests that p14ARF can bind to NPM, inhibiting rRNA processing.ribosome biogenesis, and a corresponding increase in protein synthesis.siRNA to exon 1β results in increased rRNA transcripts, rRNA processing, and ribosome nuclear export. The unrestrained ribosome biogenesis seen when NPM is not bound to ARF does not occur if NPM is also absent. Although the induction of ARF in response to oncogenic signals is considered to be of primary importance, the low levels of ARF seen in interphase cells also has a considerable effect in terms of keeping cell growth in check. Therefore, the function of basal level ARF in the NPM/ARF complex appears to be to monitor steady-state ribosome biogenesis and growth independently of preventing proliferation.

Role in Disease


P14arf

Role in Disease

Very commonly, cancer is associated with a loss of function of INK4a, ARF, Rb, or p53.phosphorylate Rb, leading to increased E2F-dependent transcription. Without ARF, Mdm2 can inappropriately inhibit p53, leading to increased cell survival.

The INK4a/ARF locus is found to be deleted or silenced in many kinds of tumors. For example, of the 100 primary breast carcinomas, approximately 41% have p14ARF defects.adenomas (non-cancerous tumors) were found to have p14ARF inactivation due to hypermethylation of the promoter. Mouse models lacking p19Arf, p53, and Mdm2 are more prone to tumor development than mice without Mdm2 and p53, alone. This suggests that p19Arf has Mdm2- and p53-independent effects, as well.

Homozygous deletions and other mutations of CDK2NA (ARF) have been found to be associated with glioblastoma.

smARF

Until recently, the two known effects of ARF were growth inhibition by NPM interactions and apoptosis induction by Mdm2 interactions. The function of ARF involving p53-independent death, has now been attributed to the small mitochondrial isoform of ARF, smARF.cell cycle arrest or type I apoptotic death, smARF kills cells by type II autophagic death. Like ARF, the expression of smARF increases when there are aberrant proliferation signals. When smARF is overexpressed, it localizes to the mitochondrial matrix, damaging the mitochondria membrane potential and structure, and leading to autophagic cell death.


P14arf

The translation of the truncated ARF, smARF, is initiated at an internal methionine (M45) of the ARF transcript in human and mouse cells. SmARF is also detected in rats, even though an internal methionine is not present in the rat transcript. This suggests that there is an alternate mechanism to form smARF, underscoring the importance of this isoform.nuclear localization signal (NLS) and cannot bind to Mdm2 or NPM.mitochondria and induce type II cell death, suggesting that in addition to autophagy being a starvation or other environmental response, it may also be involved in responding to oncogene activation.

Biochemistry

ARF expression is regulated by oncogenic signaling. Aberrant mitogenic stimulation, such as by MYC or Ras (protein), will increase its expression, as will an amplification of mutated p53 or Mdm2, or p53 loss.E2F expression. Although E2F expression is increased during the cell cycle, ARF expression probably is not because the activation of a second, unknown transcription factor might be needed to prevent an ARF response to transient E2F increases.

ARF is a highly basic (pI>12) and hydrophobic protein.SUMO protein is a small ubiquitin-like modifier, which is added to lysly ε-amino groups. This process involves a three-enzyme cascade similar to the way ubiquitylation occurs. E1 is an activating enzyme, E2 is a conjugation enzyme, and E3 is a ligase. ARF associates with UBC9, the only SUMO E2 known, suggesting ARF facilitates SUMO conjugation. The importance of this role is unknown, as sumoylation is involved in different functions, such as protein trafficking, ubiquitylation interference, and gene expression changes.


P14arf

The half-life of ARF is about 6 hours,isoforms are degraded in the proteasome.proteasome by N-terminus ubiquitylation.lysine residues. Human [[p14ARF]], however, does not contain any lysines, and mouse p19Arf only contains one lysine. If the mouse lysine is replaced with arginine, there is no effect on its degradation, suggesting it is also ubiquinated at the N-terminus. This adds to the uniqueness of the ARF proteins, because most eukaryotic proteins are acetylated at the N-terminus, preventing ubiquination at this location. Penultimate residues affect the efficiency of acetylation, in that acetylation is promoted by acidic residues and inhibited by basic ones. The N-terminal amino acid sequences of p19Arf (Met-Gly-Arg) and p14ARF (Met-Val-Arg) would be processed by methionine aminopeptidase but would not be acetylated, allowing ubiquination to proceed. The sequence of smARF, however, predicts that the initiating methionine would not be cleaved by methionine aminopeptidase and would probably be acetylated, and so is degraded by the proteasome without ubiquination.

Full-length nucleolar ARF appears to be stabilized by NPM. The NPM-ARF complex does not block the N-terminus of ARF but likely protects ARF from being accessed by degradation machinery.mitochondrial matrix protein p32 stabilizes smARF.Arf are not affected by p32 knockdown, and so p32 specifically stabilizes smARF, possibly by protecting it from the proteasome or from mitochondrial proteases.

Diascund Creek

Diascund CreekChickahominy River in Virginia, part of the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The creek flows south and forms the border between New Kent County on the west and James City County on the east.

In 1963, an earthen dam was constructed across the creek above Lanexa to create a 1,100 acre reservoir for Newport News Waterworks.Diascund Reservoir Park part of James City County's park system. There are also access points for members of local civic associations on both sides of the tidal creek.

Since at least colonial times, the creek has been bridged at Lanexa where U.S. Route 60 crosses it. During the Revolutionary War British troops destroyed American naval supplies which were stored there on the night of April 22, 1781.

In 1881, the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad bridged the creek further downstream as part of its Peninsula Extension. A bridge crossed the major channel to Hicks Island and a causeway connected the island to the eastern bank. The Diascund station was built just to the east. The Lanexa station was to the west.

In the 1960s and 1970s, the subdivisions of The Colonies and Cypress Point were developed on the lower, tidal, section of the creek adjoining the Chickahominy River. Motor boating and waterskiing are popular on this section of the creek. Waterfront homes and erosion caused by the wake of the motor boats have altered the creek's shoreline and adjoining marsh lands. This effect was aggravated by the growth of hydrilla and other invasive submerged aquatic vegetation. Carp were introduced into the reservoir in 2013 to combat the invasive weed. This has led to a dramatic decline in the hydrilla, both in the reservoir and in the tidal creek, but native marsh plants have not taken its place.

Janice Urnstein Weissman

Janice Urnstein Weissman (born 1944, St. Louis, Missouri) is an American figurative painter. Weissman started her artistic career as a classical painter utilizing Impressionistic techniques. She has evolved since the 1960s into a style of Realism. For the past eleven years, she has been exploring tattoo sub-cultures for the purpose of documenting the phenomenon she refers to as “Living Canvases."

Early life and education

Weissman grew up in St. Louis, Missouri after World War II. Her education was directed toward the achievement of a BFA Degree from the Kansas City Art Institute and an MFA degree from the University of Cincinnati. She was selected from her undergraduate class to receive a scholarship to the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture and the University of Cincinnati graduate program.

Living canvases

After creating paintings of doll parts and working in body wrapping, a technique that involves creating molds of the subjects and mummifying them, Weissman began focusing on tattoos. She documented tattoo culture in her paintings, “The Tattoo Series,” which is a collection of highly detailed depictions of people with intricate tattoos. As the collection progressed, her work has transformed from tight, closely cropped torsos, to full bodies and models posed with ornamental kimono or juxtaposed with earthly elements.

Weissman chooses models that have a theme on their body, she is interested in body art that is not purely aesthetic, tattoos that have a goal or a meaning. It is important to Weissman that the tattoo is not just a piece here or there, she likes tattoos that have something to say. It’s not usually difficult for Weissman to find models; mostly her subjects consist of mostly people she meets at body art conventions and in similar environments. While usually reluctant at first, after viewing some of previous works, subjects are convinced they will not be commercialized and agree to model for her. In addition, some subjects have contacted her about having her paint their tattoos.


Janice Urnstein Weissman

She starts her painting process by taking photos of her models and their tattoos alongside her photographers Jack Anderson and Shaun Alexander, the renowned fashion photographer. After a photo session, Weissman projects the photo onto her canvas and begins drawing the figure and all its details. She color codes each change in color, making the canvas look a little like the world's most complex color-by-numbers diagram. Then, section by section, she paints and glazes her work. Start to finish, one of her paintings takes about six months to complete.

Style

Weissman’s style can be described as detail-oriented. It is important to her to fully include the intricate aesthetics of each pattern and to represent the jewel-like quality of the color, noticing subtle differences in hue and brightness. She considers herself a colorist; like Vermeer and Chardin, whose art exemplifies chiaroscuro, the light and dark enveloping the figures, and the fleshy, beautiful skin tones of Rubens. Besides the tattoos, the human form is likewise important. Since the tattoos are lying on the body, the three-dimensional form of the figure is very important in Weissman’s work. Additionally, she gives particular attention to how the light envelopes her figures.

Exhibitions and collections

Ms. Weissman has mounted solo exhibitions with Estelle Malka, Los Angeles, CA; Galerie Furstenberg, Paris, France; and Riverdale Art Museum, Riverside, CA among others. Her work is held in the permanent collections of the Arnot Art Museum, Elmira, NY; Museum of the American West, Los Angeles, CA; Hallmark Crown Center, Kansas City, MO; as well as Habimah Theatre Tel Aviv, Israel. Critical attention to her work has been received by PBS, American Art Collector, ArtNews, Art in America, ArtWeek, and Los Angeles Magazine.

František Vyhnálek: French harpsichord type, decoration: Miluše Poupětová

Miluše Poupětová (* born Kautznerová, July 22, 1963 in Vlašim) is a Czech artist. She also teaches students of applied art at VOŠUP SUPŠ (Industrial Art College and Secondary School) in Prague. Her paintings are based on expressionism and monumental painting, and include abstract as well as figural elements. Her paintings follow her individual path to her soul, she is inspired by the physical experience of her own femininity as well as by oriental, Christian and psychoanalytic philosophy. The initial dark and exalted expressiveness of her early art work was gradually changed by brighter colours, well-thought-out compositions, more harmony and a more detached point of view.

Studies and work

She graduated from the Industrial Art Secondary School in Prague (applied painting) and later from the Industrial Art College, the studio of applied painting headed by prof. Quido Fojtík. In the late 1980s, she studied at the PietroVannucci Fine Arts Academy in the Italian Perugia. Since 1991, she has been teaching at the VOŠUP SUPŠ calligraphy, figural drawing, painting technology and anatomy, nowadays she is the head of the Applied Painting Studio there. Apart from her pedagogical activities she also decorates musical instruments and makes decorative wall paintings.

Miluše Poupětová

Detailed art biography

At the beginning of her art career, at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s, Miluše Poupětová dealt with two main topics, the first one was the role of women seen through the prism of her experienced motherhood, we may see this topic in her paintings as well as in her drawings. The second topic was the landscape. Her series called Hurt Sketchbook the bigger part of which is now in a private art collection in the USA combines several techniques (ink, natural pigments and dye substances undergo her destructive interventions – scratching, carving, polishing and burning). The colours from this period used in her paintings and drawings are dark, reflecting emotions like fear and worries. In her landscape painting, she focuses on little hidden places in the nature, seen from a subjective point of view, where the reflection is a frequent motif.

The exhibition U Řečických in 1992 showed a shift from the motherhood to a lonely woman figure in existential relations, the core of her art was moved to a more general symbolic level. She included meditation and yoga and worked also with the four Earth elements. In the middle of the 1990s, she processed her experience with the sea, her colours went brighter, her work became more colourful, figures in movements appeared, the feeling of isolation and loneliness were changed for vitality and energy. In the late 1990s, she focused on a half-figure with a more contemplative mood.

The subjectivity was disappearing gradually and more abstract pictures dealing with death and dying, the tragic life situations, appeared, namely in form of asphalt drawings and in the series of white pictures. The abstraction culminated in the series of pictures called The Heads where specific shapes encounter colourful abstraction, some pictures are inspired by natural mysticism and rituals dealing with the life cycle. The result is longing for the restoration of order reflected in the geometric figures. A series of pictures inspired by the Bible should be definitely mentioned in relation to her abstract art (Carpe Diem, 2009).

Gradually, the painter included figures again, this time in new and intense colours and in form of templates where she deals with the relation of a man and a woman. The template figures behave as we would expect, they represent universal archetypes in the soul of everyone. She deals here with the importance of the individual fate within the world's anonymity.


Miluše Poupětová

Miluše Poupětová has been also decorating musical instruments for many years, namely harpsichords. She decorated for example instruments produced by František Vyhnálek from Hovorčovice. These harpsichords are now in Prague, Budapest, Würzburg, Paris, Boston or Kyoto. She mainly makes copies of Flemish instruments form the 17th century and of French instruments from the 18th century full of flowers, birds, garlands and landscapes.

The Flemish type of harpsichords is my favourite one, with very creative ornaments which never reoccur even though they create a style unity. They are always original, there are no two same instruments. They are painted in a calligraphic way, with paintbrushes of the highest quality.

She uses her own developed unique method for decorating the harpsichord body and its legs called marbling.

Krimmler Ache

The Krimmler Ache is a river in the Pinzgau region of the Austrian state of Salzburg, a right tributary of the Salzach at VorderkrimmlWald im Pinzgau.

Its valley (the Krimmler Achental) forms the boundary between the Zillertal Alps in the west and the Venediger Group in the east, which belong to the High Tauern. The valley begins above the village of Krimml at the Krimml Waterfalls and runs up to its head at the Krimmlerkees on the mountain of Dreiherrenspitze (3,499 m (AA)). The Krimmler Ache itself rises at a height of about 2,500 metres (8,200 ft) at the Krimmler Törl to the valley Obersulzbachtal

In the upper east corner of the valley of the Krimmler Ache there is the alpine hut Warnsdorfer HütteKrimmler Tauernhaus


Ozone monitoring instrument

Image of polar mesospheric clouds taken on 10 July 2007 by OMI

The ozone monitoring instrument (OMI) is a nadir-viewing visual and ultraviolet spectrometer aboard the NASA Aura spacecraft. Aura flies in formation about 15 minutes behind Aqua, both of which orbit the Earth in a polar Sun-synchronous pattern. Aura was launched on July 15, 2004, and OMI has collected data since August 9, 2004.sulfates, and can measure cloud pressure and coverage, which provide data to derive tropospheric ozone. OMI follows in the heritage of TOMS, SBUV, GOME, SCIAMACHY, and GOMOS. OMI measurements cover a spectral region of 264–504 nm (nanometers) with a spectral resolution between 0.42 nm and 0.63 nm and a nominal ground footprint of 13 × 24 km2 at nadir. The Aura satellite orbits at an altitude of 705 km in a sun-synchronous polar orbit with an exact 16-day repeat cycle and with a local equator crossing time of 13. 45 ( 1:45 P.M.) on the ascending node. The orbital inclination is 98.1 degrees, providing latitudinal coverage from 82° N to 82° S. It is a wide-field-imaging spectrometer with a 114° across-track viewing angle range that provides a 2600 km wide swath, enabling measurements with a daily global coverage. OMI is continuing the TOMS record for total ozone and other atmospheric parameters related to ozone chemistry and climate.

The OMI project is a cooperation between the Netherlands Agency for Aerospace Programmes (NIVR), the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) and the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA).

The OMI project was carried out under the direction of the NIVR and financed by the Ministries of Economic Affairs, Transport and Public Works and the Ministry of Education and Science. The instrument was built by Dutch Space in co-operation with Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research Science and Industry and Netherlands Institute for Space Research. The Finnish industry supplied the electronics. The scientific part of the OMI project is managed by KNMI (principal investigator Prof. Dr. P. F. Levelt), in close co-operation with NASA and the Finnish Meteorological Institute.

Joint Operations Command (Zimbabwe)

The Joint Operations Command (JOC) is the supreme organ for the coordination of state security in Zimbabwe. It was established by the Rhodesian Security Forces as Combined Operations Headquarters to supervise its counter-insurgency campaign in the Rhodesian Bush WarZambia and Mozambique.Zimbabwe Defence Forces, and has since been accused of manipulating elections and orchestrating political violence.

2008

The JOC was headed in 2008 by Minister of State Security Didymus Mutasa, but he was replaced soon after the Zimbabwean presidential election held on 29 March 2008, by the Minister of Rural Housing and Social Amenities Emmerson Mnangagwa.

It has been claimed that in the wake of the Zimbabwean presidential election, the JOC de facto took over control of the day-to-day decision-making of government, effectively operating as a military junta.

It has come under scrutiny from members of the Politburo of the ZANU-PF.

Membership

Members and former members included:

  * Oppah Muchinguri – Minister of Defence
  * General Philip Valerio Sibanda – Commander of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces
  * Lieutenant General Edzai Chimonyo – Commander of the Zimbabwe National Army
  * Air Marshal (Elsen Moyo) – Commander of the Air Force of Zimbabwe
  * Commissioner Godwin Matanga – Commissioner of the Zimbabwe Republic Police
  * Major General (Ret.) Paradzayi Zimondi – Head of the Zimbabwe prison service
  * Isaac Moyo – Director-General of the Central Intelligence Organisation
  * John Mangudya – Governor of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe
  * Brigadier-General Douglas Nyikayaramba

Proposed restructuring

According to the deal arising out of political negotiations between the three largest political parties, the JOC was to be renamed the National Security Council. It was to be chaired by Robert Mugabe and the former prime minister, Morgan Tsvangirai, was to be a sitting member.
