title: Howard Austen

text:
Howard Austen (born Howard Auster; January 28, 1929 – September 22, 2003) was the longtime companion of American writer Gore Vidal.  They were together for 53 years, until Austen's death.

Early life and career
Austen was born into a working-class Jewish family and grew up in The Bronx, New York. Reportedly, Austen wanted to have a career as a singer. In 1950, when Vidal met Austen, Austen had just graduated and was struggling to find work writing advertising copy. At Vidal's suggestion, he changed his surname from "Auster" to "Austen" "after advertising firms refused to hire him because he was Jewish". Immediately after he changed his name, he was hired at Doyle, Dane & Bernbach, which was considered a very good house and is known as DDB today. Austen would go on to become a stage manager for Broadway shows in the 1950s and 1960s. He also worked in film, assisting with the casting of the classic 1962 film To Kill a Mockingbird.

Personal life
Austen was described as red-haired and freckle-faced and was 21, having just graduated from New York University, when he met Vidal at New York's Everard Baths on Labor Day, 1950. Vidal has been reported as describing their relationship as "two men who decided to spend their lives together". Austen managed the couple's complicated financial affairs, travel arrangements and housing needs, both at their home in Hollywood and in their La Rondinaia villa in Ravello, Italy on the Amalfi coast. In September 2003, Austen died from a brain tumor at the age of 74 in Los Angeles, California. In February 2005, Austen was re-buried at Rock Creek Cemetery, in Washington, D.C., in a joint grave meant for Vidal and Austen.

title: HAP1 cells

text:
HAP1 cells are a cell line of human origin used for biomedical and genetic research. They are near haploid, having one copy of almost every chromosome and are smaller than the average human cell, growing to about 11 micrometers in diameter. HAP1 cells are derived from a line of cancerous cells, which means they are able to divide indefinitely.

Origin
HAP1 cells are a near-haploid cell line derived from the KBM-7 cell line. KBM-7 was found in a patient with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). This cell line has a haploid karyotype except for chromosomes 8 and 15. It also possesses a reciprocal chromosomal translocation of Chromosomes 9 and 22 which created a Philadelphia chromosome. Due to the nature of the translocation, no genetic material was lost. Philadelphia chromosomes are common in myeloid leukemia cells. After its discovery, subsequent experiments have resulted in the HAP1 cell line. HAP1 has lost the extra copy of chromosome 8 and has a fragment of chromosome 15 that is about 30-megabases long and encompasses about 330 genes. It is attached to the long arm of Chromosome 19. Chromosomal abnormalities are common in cancer cells. Due to the haploid karyotype, the tumor suppressor genes have been lost, but it is unknown by which mechanism the reduction of chromosomes occurs. They can have less than 40 chromosomes and continue to function as neoplastic cells, however; encountering leukemic cells with less than 30 chromosomes, a near haploid number, is very rare.

Structure
HAP1 cells are malignant neoplastic cells, also known as cancer cells. These cells are characterized primarily by uninhibited growth. As the rate of mitosis increases, defects in the nuclear spindles form, which results in atypical chromosomes, such as those found in HAP1 cells. Due to their irregular chromosomes, malignant cells are also morphologically different from healthy cells. These cells are often irregular shapes and sizes. They have large nuclei, prominent nucleoli, and scarce or atypically colored cytoplasm. Ribosomes and mRNA accumulate in the cytoplasm and membrane bound organelles change in shape, size, and function. Some become larger than normal, greatly reduced, or entirely non-existent. HAP1 cells are derived from leukemic cells, which develop from mutated myeloid cells in the bone marrow. Healthy myeloid cells produce red blood cells, platelets and white blood cells (apart from lymphocytes). For CML to develop, an abnormal gene called BCR-ABL is formed, which turns the myeloid cell into a CML cell.

Biomedical Research
Due to their haploidy, HAP1 cells are very useful in biomedical research and genetic experiments. When working in diploid cells, it is difficult to screen for mutations phenotypically, especially when considering recessive mutations. Because there are two copies of each gene, the mutation is often covered up by the non-mutated gene. In haploid cells, there is only one copy of each gene, so mutated phenotypes are immediately exposed. Before the development of haploid cells, much of this research was limited to microbes and other simple cells, but now the research can be applied to its target cell type: the human cell. Since their recent discovery, HAP1 cells cultured in vitro have been established as a dependable screening tool for targeted genetics screens.

Further Research
HAP1 cells have been used to create a new completely haploid cell line. Researchers used CRISPR/Cas9 system to delete the portion of Chromosome 15 that is present in HAP1 cells. They simultaneously cleaved both ends of the Chromosome 15 region by the endonuclease Cas9, which led to the elimination of the fragment. The Cas9 was programmed by short guide RNAs (gRNAs) to cleave any sequence complementary them. The sequence for the Chromosome 19/15 fusion is unknown, so the gRNAs were programmed to cut within the Chromosome 15 region. With this technique, experimenters were able to cultivate the first fully haploid human cell line which they termed eHAP.

title: Jamia Naeemia Lahore

text:
Jamia Naeemia Lahore is an Islamic University in Lahore associated with the Sunni Barelvi movement. Founded by Mufti Muhammad Husain Naeemi, father of Sarfraz Ahmed Naeemi. It serves as the largest Sunni institution for the Barelvi movement in Pakistan.

The word "Naeemi" and "Naeemia" is taken from name of Naeem-ud-Deen Muradabadi, who was a close fellow and pupil of Ahmed Raza Khan. Dr. Raghib Hussain Naeemi is the present principal of the institution.

Movement against terrorism
In May 2009, a declaration was made by the principal of this institute, Mufti Sarfraz Ahmed Naeemi, that, "The military must eliminate the Taliban once and for all otherwise they will capture the entire country which would be a big catastrophe."  In May 2009, he also took part in a conference of Islamic scholars convened by the government which criticised suicide attacks and the be-heading of innocent Muslims as un-Islamic.  He advocated equal access to education for women and the use of computers in schools, ideas in contrast with Taliban's harsh interpretation of Islam.

Terrorist attack
This Institute was highlighted on the global media when it was targeted by a suicide bombing in which its principal, Sarfraz Ahmed Naeemi, was killed. According to New York Times the attack was in retaliation of a Fatwa (verdict) issued by the University against the Taliban.

title: 76th Scripps National Spelling Bee

text:
The 76th Scripps National Spelling Bee was held on May 28–29, 2003, in Washington D.C.

Winners
The competition was won by 13-year-old eighth grader Sai R. Gunturi of Dallas, sponsored by the Dallas Morning News, who correctly spelled rhathymia followed by pococurante for the win. He had happened to have studied the final word previously, so knew he was going to win. He won $12,000 as well as additional prizes. It was Gunturi's fourth trip to the bee, improving his performance every year. He was tied for 32nd in 2000, and placed 16th in 2001 and 7th in 2002; his sister Nivedita tied for 8th place in 1997.

Second place went to 14-year-old homeschooled student Evelyn Blacklock of Tuxedo Park, New York, who misspelled gnathonic. She had also competed in the prior year, finishing 59th.

Third place was a three-way tie among three contestants who fell in round 11. JJ Goldstein, age 13 of Great Neck, New York, fell when misspelling betony. Samir Patel, age 9, of Colleyville, Texas, misspelled boudin. Patel tied for second-place two years later in the 2005 bee. And Trudy McLeary, age 14 of Kingston, Jamaica fell on aplustre. This was the best performance by an entrant from Jamaica since winning the 1998 bee.

Competition

251 contestants participated between the ages of 9 and 15, with most being age 13 and in eighth grade. The field included 167 which attended public schools, and 19 with a sibling with prior bee experience. The competition lasted 15 rounds, and started on May 28, 2003 with an oral round that excluded 76 contestants, followed by a 25 word written test which eliminated 91 more spellers who made errors on more than 10 words. The next year the written test, first introduced the prior year, was given before the oral round because spellers had reported being too anxious to do a written test after the opening oral round. Eighty-four contestants returned for the final competition at 8 a.m. of the next day. The competition by 2:15 p.m. was reduced to 30. The final rounds were aired on ESPN and ESPN2.

This was the first year in which Jacques Bailly became chief pronouncer, replacing the recently deceased Alex Cameron who had served in that role for over 20 years.

title: Environmentally Friendly Linkage System

text:
The Environmentally Friendly Linkage System (), abbreviated to EFLS and commonly called the Kai Tak Monorail (), was a government-proposed monorail system to be located in the Kai Tak Development area of Hong Kong with 12 stations. The system was expected to be completed in 2023, at a cost of HK$12 billion, and to take up 15 percent of public transport in the Kowloon East Development.

In the 2020 policy address, chief executive Carrie Lam implicitly shelved the monorail plan, citing a feasibility study that suggested the EFLS should comprise a multi-modal transport system involving buses and pedestrian routes, rather than a railway, with the details of this newer proposal still unclear. Footbridges with travellators were proposed subsequently as an alternative.

History
Throughout the 1990s, a number of master plans were drawn up to prepare for the eventual reuse of the Kai Tak airport land. The South East Kowloon Development Statement (1993) and the Feasibility Study for South East Kowloon Development (1998) both proposed that the site be served by two conventional Mass Transit Railway lines running underground. A 2001 study removed the line serving the former runway area, replacing it with a proposed "trolley bus or light rail system". In light of the Protection of the Harbour Ordinance and overwhelming public opinion against further reclamation of Victoria Harbour, the plan for Kai Tak was further cut back. But this basic premise of a light rail system in the area would eventually turn into the plan for a monorail.

In 2007, the Kai Tak Outline Zoning Plans with railway connection system was approved by the Executive Council.

The EFLS project was headed by the Development Bureau with public consultation carried out by the Civil Engineering and Development Department.

The Civil Engineering and Development Department appointed consultants to review the flexibility of the EFLS.

Under the 2011-2012 Policy Address, Kowloon East would become the city's second central business district.

However, in the 2020 policy address, chief executive Carrie Lam approvingly cited a feasibility study suggesting that the EFLS should instead comprise a multi-modal system of buses, minibuses, travellators, and cycling and pedestrian infrastructure, rather than a railway system, which implied that the monorail plan had been shelved.

Technology debate
Hong Kong Tramways Limited proposed building a modern tramway, instead of a monorail, on the grounds of lower construction cost, more affordable fares, lower operating cost, improved flexibility for future extensions, less visual impact, no noise pollution, and socio-economic benefits. Norman Y. S. Heung, project manager from the Civil Engineering and Development Department, responded that it would not be acceptable for a tramway to share ground space with cars. Emmanuel Vivant, general manager of Hong Kong Tramways, responded that "in a city that rightly prides itself on putting priority on public transport, and where only 10 per cent of trips are done by private car, it should not be impossible to allocate space to tram lanes that can each carry eight times as many people as a road lane" and that "promoting usage of emission-free modern tramways rather than polluting private cars, would be a perfectly sensible policy decision. Where necessary, the modern tramway can simply share space with other road users".

The need for heavy construction of any kind was challenged by the Hong Kong Cycling Alliance, on the basis that the 13-kilometre cycling network already planned for the area provided viable and more flexible connectivity, at much lower environmental impact.

The South China Morning Post claimed that a "green bus network" would cost less than HK$400 million, and could still make a profit.

Finances
The cost of construction at 2010 prices was HK$12 billion, with patronage expected to hit 200,000 by 2031, according to the government. In 2012 officials estimated that building a monorail would have yielded a return of one per cent, versus four per cent for a conventional railway. The Post reported that the system would break even only if the government bore the capital and asset replacement costs.

Stations

The MTR walk‐in catchment coverage has usually a 500-metre radius or less than 8-minute walking time. After considering estimated passenger and fire safety issues, the Civil Engineering and Development Department took the MTR walk-in catchment coverage as an indicator for the selection of the EFLS station site.

Rolling stock
As of 2015, the government planned to use two-car monorail trains with capacities of about 250 passengers. The stations would have been designed to allow for future expansion to three-car trains.

title: Heads of Medicines Agencies

text:
The Heads of Medicines Agencies (HMA) is a network of both the human and veterinary
medicines agencies of the European Economic Area.

The HMA co-operates with the European Medicines Agency and the European Commission (Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety) in the operation of the European medicines regulatory system. The network provides a forum for the co-ordination and the exchange of views and proposals on issues concerning the European regulatory system and the role of the national authorities within that system.

The HMA, initially known as the Heads of Agencies, was established in 1995 with a first full meeting taking place in Amsterdam in February 1996. Initially the network comprised only agencies responsible for the regulation of medicines for human use. In February 1998, a parallel group bringing together the heads of agencies responsible for medicines for veterinary use held its first meeting. The two groups started organising joint meetings in 2000 and since 2004 these activities have been integrated under the umbrella of the HMA.

Membership
The HMA comprises 46 national competent authorities responsible for the regulation of human and/or veterinary medicines. These 46 national authorities represent the 28 EU member states as well as the three additional European Economic Area members, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.

Of the 46 NCAs, 15 have responsibility only for human medicines; 14 are purely veterinary agencies; 17 are joint veterinary and human agencies; and some veterinary agencies are integrated with their respective national food safety agencies or respective ministries. Some have responsibility for pricing and reimbursement of human medicines. 22 have joint responsibility for medicines and medical devices. All are accountable to their national governments.

Together with the European Medicines Agency and the European Commission, these national authorities form the European medicines regulatory system.

Main activities
Medicines can be authorised in Europe through a number of ways:
 The centralised procedure, which is the responsibility of the European Medicines Agency
 National procedures, which are the responsibility of the national authority of each country
 Non-centralised procedures, co-ordinated by the HMA:
 The decentralised procedure
 Mutual-recognition procedures.

The initial focus of the network in 1995 was the operation of a Mutual Recognition Facilitation Group which was given full legal status in 2003 as the HMA mandated Co-ordination Group for Mutual Recognition and Decentralised Procedures (CMD). In 2012, new European pharmacovigilance legislation added to the role and decision-making powers of the CMD in respect of human medicines.

Over the years, the HMA has added to its coordination activities to include clinical trials authorisation, worksharing of safety aspects, pediatric indications, interpretation of legal provisions and product testing. It has also established a number of shared initiatives across the network which has resulted in Europe-wide projects concerning IT infrastructure, benchmarking, training programs and communication policy. These projects are intended to bring efficiencies and greater consistency to the European medicines regulatory system.

Operations
The HMA is based on a model of cooperation and worksharing across statutory as well as voluntary regulatory activities. The network does not have a permanent executive or head office. However a HMA member agency is requested to support the network by providing professional and scientific resources.

The Management Group, consisting of a number of national heads, co-ordinates and facilitates the operation of the HMA and also supervises the work of the HMA Permanent Secretariat. The HMA PS facilitates and supports the work of the HMA, the HMA MG and the EU presidency by ensuring co-ordination, consistency and continuity of their work and activities and providing the collective memory of HMA.

After the finalisation of a joint HMA/EMA strategy to 2020, in February 2016 the HMA adopted a Multi Annual Work Plan to bring the joint overarching strategy into operation on the HMA level with the involvement of all National Competent Authorities.

title: The Science Fiction Radio Show

text:
The Science Fiction Radio Show is an American radio show that aired  between 1980 and 1983.  It was syndicated nationally for the final two years..

The program broadcast interviews with science fiction and fantasy authors, filmmakers and others who worked in the genres.

Origin
The Science Fiction Radio Show originated in 1979 from a proposed science fiction class at Odessa College in Odessa, Texas. David Carson, a media-design specialist at the college, and Keith Johnson, the school's astronomer and planetarium director, offered a science fiction course to students.  However, it failed to attract enough interest.

Using material from the proposed course, Carson and Johnson created a radio show instead.  Odessa College provided recording facilities and funds for tape and telephone expenses.

Daryl Lane, chair of the English Department at Odessa College; and David Crews, a production manager and digital musician, joined the team. Besides functioning as an interviewer and on-air voice, Crews also created the synthesized digital score that served as background music to the show.

On the air
The first episode of The Science Fiction Radio Show aired on KOCV-FM in June 1980. For the first few months, the show consisted of thirty-minute presentations which aired Saturdays. Employing selections from author interviews, these shows focused on such staple science fiction themes as time travel or robots, or subgenres like Space Opera or New Wave.

The format was soon converted to a simple question-and-answer pattern. Besides discussing their individual books, authors revealed how they started their careers as science fiction writers and why they were drawn to particular themes. Sometimes the producers traveled to an author's home to tape him or her directly, sometimes they went to science fiction conventions and set up recording equipment in hotel rooms.  Most often, the interviews were taped during telephone conversations.

Johnson and Crews soon left The Science Fiction Radio Show. In Spring 1981, William D. Vernon, a collector of science fiction paperbacks, became the producer.

National syndication and format change
In 1981, Longhorn Radio Network in Austin, Texas agreed to syndicate The Science Fiction Radio Show. Longhorn switched the show from thirty-minutes once a week to a five-minute production airing every weekday. Before the syndication process was complete, the show's producers formed a corporation called The Permian Basin Science Fiction Association.

The Science Fiction Radio Show went off the air for the fall of 1981 while preparations were made for the new format. The producers also expanded their interview targets to encompass individuals peripheral to science fiction, people who were not authors but were somehow related to science fiction and fantasy. Included among the new class of interviewees were Roger Ebert;  Jim Henson; agent Richard Curtis; Underwood Miller publishers Chuck Miller and Tim Underwood;  Michael Whelan; and scientist Robert Forward.

In Spring 1982, The Science Fiction Radio Show returned to the air in syndication. The  producers were Carson, Vernon, and Lane. Vernon and Lane conducted interviews and wrote the script for each show; Carson extracted selections from the raw interview tapes, spliced them into the recorded script, added theme music and segues, and mailed the finished product to Longhorn. The Longhorn estimated that between 100,000 and 200,000 persons a week listened to the program.

Historical and educational contribution
Many significant events of early 1980s science fiction—including the appearance of major novels, stories, movies, and television productions—are reflected in The Science Fiction Radio Shows interviews.

Gordon R. Dickson discussed his novel, The Final Encyclopedia, just as he sent it off to the publisher as a 1,400-page manuscript. Stephen R. Donaldson discussed his book White Gold Wielder, which completed his second trilogy on Thomas Covenant. Philip José Farmer reminisced over his Riverworld books as the fourth volume in the series, The Magic Labyrinth, was published. Gregory Benford talked about Timescape,

Michael Whelan was interviewed at a convention where he took the show's producers on a tour of his art exhibition—with commentary that became a week's worth of interviews. Ray Bradbury discussed his book Something Wicked This Way Comes as it debuted as a film.  Jim Henson was working on his fantasy movie The Dark Crystal when he interviewed with the show.

Transition to a book
In summer 1983 Oryx Press expressed interest in publishing the interviews.  The work required to prepare a book meant that there was no time to continue with the radio show.  It was cancelled in December 1983.

The book, The Sound of Wonder, came out in two volumes in late 1985 and has since gone out of print. The Philip José Farmer interview from Volume 2, for instance, was added to a reference work on Farmer in 2015.

Vernon and Carson were invited as guests to the New Orleans Science Fiction Fantasy Festival in June 1989 where they participated in various panel discussions.

Legacy
The Science Fiction Radio Show produced 81 interviews, the great majority of them with authors. A typical interview lasted between one and two hours. By the end of the show, the interviews extended over 255 reel-to-reel tapes.  In 1995 the owners of the tapes donated the archive (which also included 191 cassette tapes) to the Science Fiction Oral History Association, headed by Lloyd Biggle Jr, . It was understood that the organization would digitize the tapes and distribute copies among public research institutions.

At the time of Biggle's death in 2002 very few of the tapes and been digitized and given to research facilities. A handful have shown up at the Vincent Voice Library at the Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan, but at the time the majority of the tapes were still undigitized.

In June of 2020 David Carson contacted Jeremy Brett at the Science Fiction and Fantasy Research Collection at the Cushing Memorial Library and Archives at Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. Radio Show personnel had attended several science fiction conventions called Aggiecon's at A&M. Carson remembered the library at A&M had a science fiction collection an wondered if they might be interested in housing the tapes. Brett said they were interested and asked Carson to setup a meeting with the SFOHA. Carson contacted the current staff of the SFOHA and a meeting was held where the SFOHA agreed to moving the tapes to A&M for safe keeping and digitization of the tapes. COVID-19 complicated matters and it was over a year before the tapes where shipped to A&M in the summer of 2021. The tapes have been digitized and the process of making them available online is being worked out.

title: Old Tagalog

text:
Old Tagalog, also known as Old Filipino (; Baybayin: pre-virama: , post-virama [krus kudlit]: ; post-virama [pamudpod]: ), is the earliest form of the Tagalog language during the Classical period. It is the primary language of pre-colonial Tondo, Namayan and Maynila. The language originated from the Proto-Philippine language and evolved to Classical Tagalog, which was the basis for Modern Tagalog. Old Tagalog uses the Tagalog script or Baybayin, one of the scripts indigenous to the Philippines.

Etymology

The word Tagalog is derived from the endonym  or  (taga-ilog, "river dweller"), composed of  (tagá-, "native of" or "from") and  or  (ílog, "river"). Very little is known about the ancient history of the language; linguists such as David Zorc and Robert Blust speculate that the Tagalogs and other Central Philippine ethno-linguistic groups had originated in Northeastern Mindanao or the Eastern Visayas.

History

Old Tagalog is one of the Central Philippine languages, which evolved from the Proto-Philippine language, which comes from the Austronesian peoples who settled in the Philippines around 2200 BC.

The early history of the Tagalog language remains relatively obscure, and a number of theories exist as to the exact origins of the Tagalog peoples and their language. Scholars such as Robert Blust suggest that the Tagalogs originated in northeastern Mindanao or the eastern Visayas. Possible words of Old Tagalog origin are attested in the Laguna Copperplate Inscription from the 10th century, which is largely written in Old Malay. The first known complete book to be written in Tagalog is the  (Christian Doctrine), printed in 1593. The book also used Baybayin script.

The question has been raised about the origin of some words in the various languages of the Philippines and their possible connection to ancient Buddhist and Hindu culture in the region, as the language is influenced by Sanskrit, Malay, Tamil and Chinese.

Writing system

Old Tagalog was written in Baybayin, a writing system formerly used in the Philippines which belongs to the Brahmic family of scripts.

title: William Williams (antiquary)

text:
William Williams (Gwilym Ddu o Arfon) (1739–1817) was a Welsh antiquarian, known also as a poet.

Life
Williams was born in February 1739 in Ty Mawr, Trefdraeth, Anglesey from William ap Huw ap Sion, a stonemason. After a short time at school he served a seven years' apprenticeship to a saddler at Llannerch y Medd, where he associated with local bards including Hugh Hughes (Y Bardd Coch) and Robert Hughes (Robin Ddu o Fon).

Moving to Llandygai, Carnarvonshire, he obtained occasional employment as clerk in the Penrhyn estate office, acting at the same time as land surveyor and dealer in slates. In 1782 he induced Lord Penrhyn to take over the slate quarries at Cae Braich y Cafn (later the Penrhyn Quarry), and was appointed quarry supervisor, a post he held until he was pensioned in 1803. He died on 17 July 1817, and was buried at Llandygai.

Works
Williams published:

 Observations on the Snowdon Mountains (London, 1802), dealing with the natural history and antiquities of the region around Bangor, and originally prepared for Lord Penrhyn.
 Prydnawngwaith y Cymry (Trefriw, 1822) is a continuation (to the Edwardian conquest) of the Drych y Prif Oesoedd, a history of Wales of Theophilus Evans; the preface indicates that it was completed in 1804.

Williams was an antiquarian collector, and use was made of his manuscripts by Richard Fenton and Sir Richard Colt Hoare.

title: Climbing Trees

text:
Climbing Trees are a Welsh four-piece "Cymrucana" band based in Pontypridd, South Wales. The group currently features Matthew Frederick (piano/guitar/vocals), Colenso Jones (guitar/bass/vocals), Martin Webb (guitar/bass/vocals) and James Bennetts (drums/vocals).

History
Formed in 2011, the band soon came to the attention of BBC Radio Wales as work on their first release progressed, being named BBC Introducing Band of the Week in February 2013 after supporting New York group Spin Doctors the previous month. Shortly after, the band appeared as part of BBC Radio Wales Music Day, before Single of the Week (for Aloisi) and Welsh Artist of the Week recognition followed in August 2013. In October of the same year, the band were hand-picked by Jamie Cullum as the support act for the Cardiff leg of his Momentum tour.

The band recorded their debut album Hebron at Mwnci Studios in Carmarthenshire between May 2012 and February 2013, releasing it in August. The album was described as "an essential purchase for 2013" by the BBC's Bethan Elfyn; New Sound Wales deemed the record "one of the most impressive albums of 2013"; and Wales Online described the album as "majestic", listing "pure blown gospel standout" track Burning Candle amongst "The 51 greatest Welsh pop records of 2013".

In April 2014, Climbing Trees were announced as one of the twelve BBC Horizons Gorwelion acts for 2014–2015. They've toured performed around the UK and performed at various festivals, including Green Man, Laugharne and Festival N°6.

The band's second album, Borders, was released in July 2016 on Matthew Frederick's label Staylittle Music. It was again recorded at Mwnci Studios. Preceding it were the singles Graves and Tracks. The album was nominated for the 2015-2016 Welsh Music Prize.

Cymrucana
The band's sound has often been described as "Cymrucana".  'A nod to both the Cool Cymru explosion of the 1990s and the ever-popular folk-rock genre Americana', the term was apparently invented and perpetuated by the band themselves. In a March 2014 interview with New Sound Wales, Frederick described:

The great thing about this band is that each member was coming from a different place musically, where we started introducing one another to different bands and artists, and I think this is reflected in what is now our signature sound.  Before long we were being asked by local press and just people in general how we'd describe our music, which at the time was a vague mixture of folk, country and Americana.  None of these seemed to accurately define us though, so 'Cymrucana' was originally a tongue-in-cheek comment that became our standard response to the question, and a way of defining the band without really saying anything at all.  The truth is that the 'Cymrucana' scene consists solely of Climbing Trees.  We're quite open to other bands and artists joining us though, if they so wish….

On the band's sound, BBC Radio Wales presenter Adam Walton said: "They've managed to transplant the musical heart of America – The Band, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Grizzly Bear – to their spiritual home ... without missing a beat", while a 2014 review noted that "you could be forgiven for thinking this was a band from Los Angeles rather than Pontypridd".

title: Hugh Hughes (poet)

text:
Hugh Hughes (Y Bardd Coch) (22 March 1693 – 6 April 1776) was a Welsh poet.

Life
Born on 22 March 1693, he was son of Gruffydd Hughes, who claimed lineage, according to the Welsh genealogies, from Tegeryn ab Carwed, the lord of Twrcelyn. He was mainly self-educated, and generally lived on his estate at Llwydiarth Esgob, near Llanerchymedd, Anglesey. He died on 6 April 1776, and was buried in Holyhead churchyard.

Legacy
Hughes left manuscripts containing poems, translations, tales, and biographies. Most of these came into the possession of his son, who succeeded to the estate, and of those some have since been lost; but some went the British Museum.

Works
Hughes was a disciple of Lewis Morris, and practically ceased to write poetry after Morris's death. His verses were esteemed by Goronwy Owen.

He is one of the three Anglesey poets whose works are found in the Diddanwch Teuluaidd neu waith Beirdd Mon (London, 1763; 2nd edition, Carnarvon, 1817; 3rd edition, Liverpool, 1879). Other poems by him occur in the Blodeugerdd, Diddanwch i'w Feddianydd (Dublin, 1773), and Dewisol Ganiadau.

Hughes also published translations from English works:

 Deial Ahaz, wedi ei hysprydoli (1773) from The Dial of Ahaz Spiritualized by David Tucker;
 Deddfau Moesoldeb, copies not known to be extant; and
 Rheolau Bywyd Dynol (Dublin, 1774) from The Oeconomy of Human Life by Robert Dodsley and Philip Dormer Stanhope.

title: Steni Dirfyos

text:
Steni Dirfyos () formerly Ano Steni is a Greek village in Euboea. It is nearly located the centre of Euboea, 30 km northeast of Chalcis. It is built at a height of 440 m. in the slopes of mount Dirfys. Steni is part of Dirfys-Messapia municipality and is the seat of Dirfys regional unit. Its population is 392 inhabitants according to 2011 census.

History
Steni is built in the late 18th century (at about in 1790) by inhabitants of village Skounteri (nowadays Pyrgos). During Ottoman occupation Skounteri was the seat of the local Ottoman governor (Beis). Skounteri has almost been depopulated the next years. In the short distance from Steni is located a big steep rock that named Kleisoura. During Ottoman period this place was the refuge of local anti-Ottoman insurgents known as Klepht. After the Greek independence, Steni became the most important village of the mountainous central Euboea. The last years there was the seat of the local municipality of Dirfys as well as the seat of the local community that includes moreover the small villages Kato Steni and Pyrgos.

Historical population

Tourism
The recent years the village has evolved as a popular destination for climbers and mountain hikers. In the village is the starting point of the path for the summit of Dirfys. There are also hiking paths towards the mountain refuges.

Interesting sights near village is the old Byzantine church known as Palaiopanagia. The temple had very important hagiography frescoes that date from 16th century. Five of these were stolen in 1978 but they returned to Greece recently. After the return the frescoes were exhibited in Byzantine Museum.

Sir Gilbert Elliot, 1st Baronet, of Minto ( – 1 May 1718) was a Scottish writer, lawyer, politician and judge from Minto in the Scottish Borders.

He was the younger son of Gavin Elliot of Midlem Mill, Roxburghshire, and his wife, Margaret Hay. He was educated at the University of Edinburgh.

Initially a writer, he began assisting in legal cases, helping William Veitch escape execution in 1679 as an opponent of King Charles II. After similarly helping the Earl of Argyll in 1681, Elliot went into exile in Europe in 1685, and in his absence was sentenced to death and forfeiture. He was pardoned by King James VII and returned to Scotland in 1687, where he was admitted to the Faculty of Advocates in 1688.

After the Glorious Revolution, the forfeiture was quashed in 1690. Elliot became a clerk to the Privy Council of Scotland, was knighted in 1692, and made a baronet, of Minto, in 1700.

He sat in the Parliament of Scotland for Roxburghshire from 1703 until the Parliament of Scotland and the Parliament of England were combined to form the Parliament of Great Britain in 1707, which he opposed.  In 1703 he became a judge of the Court of Session, taking the judicial title of Lord Minto.

Elliot died at the age of 67 on 1 May 1718, and was succeeded in the baronetcy by his son Gilbert.

title: Vennen

text:
Vennen (The Friend) was a Danish magazine for gay men published from 1949 to 1974.

History
In 1948, gay activists Axel and Eigil Axgil founded Denmark's first gay rights organization, Forbundet af 1948 (Association of 1948), now known as LGBT Danmark, in response to the publication of Alfred Kinsey's work Sexual Behavior in the Human Male. Vennen was launched in 1949 as the official magazine for members of the organization; Helmer Fogedgaard was its first editor-in-chief until 1954 when he was replaced by Axel Axgil. Initially, the magazine was available only to members, but in 1951 it became available for sale at newsstands throughout Denmark, Sweden and Norway.

On March 29, 1955, Vennen Copenhagen offices were raided by police after it became apparent that the magazine was distributing pornographic images of models under the age of 18. Copies of the magazine were seized by police and numerous staff members, including both Axgils and Fogedgaard, were arrested and subsequently sentenced to prison. The event became known as the "Store pornografi-affære" ("Great Porno Affair"). The raid caused a significant loss of credibility to Vennen from within and outside the homophile movement, and was publicly criticized by editors of other European gay men's magazines.

After the 1955 raid, the Forbundet af 1948 disassociated itself from the magazine, but it continued as an independent publication. Journalist Martin Elmer, who had previously written articles and short stories for the magazine, took over the leadership of Vennen in 1956, and was appointed editor-in-chief in 1962. Elmer remained editor-in-chief until the magazine ceased publication in 1974.

title: Bayonets of Angst

text:
Bayonets of Angst is a musical comedy about the American Civil War written by Rick Kunzi and Adam Barnosky.

Production history

In 2013, Bayonets of Angst was a finalist in the Ken Davenport Ten Minute Play Contest.

The premiere production of Bayonets of Angst was part of the 2014 New York Musical Theatre Festival and starred Tony Award nominee J. Robert Spencer, as Abraham Lincoln. The NYMF production also featured Paul Whitty ("Once"), Herndon Lackey ("LoveMusik"), Brian Charles Rooney ("The Threepenny Opera"), Michael Abbott Jr. (Shotgun Stories), Ian Lowe ("Murder for Two") and Ryan Andes ("Big Fish").

Critical reception
David Clark of Broadway World called Bayonets of Angst "entirely fresh and novel... featuring a waggishly witty book, hysterical lyrics and a brilliantly catchy bluegrass score," and "simultaneously everything and nothing you'd expect from a musicalizied account of the Civil War." Broadway Spotted reviewed that the show was "full of jokes, puns, play on words and everything in between," and "with non-stop laughter and beautiful music, it truly was an enjoyable time."  Theater Mania called Bayonets of Angst "[an] irreverent and hyper theatrical production," with "a jaunty bluegrass score performed by the first-rate musicians."

CHARGED.fm listed Bayonets of Angst as a "Hot New Musical" and described it as an "exciting production that we think you should see."

title: Unilamellar liposome

text:
A unilamellar liposome is a spherical liposome, a vesicle, bounded by a single bilayer of an amphiphilic lipid or a mixture of such lipids, containing aqueous solution inside the chamber. Unilamellar liposomes are used to study biological systems and to mimic cell membranes, and are classified into three groups based on their size: small unilamellar liposomes/vesicles (SUVs) that with a size range of 20–100 nm, large unilamellar liposomes/vesicles (LUVs) with a size range of 100–1000 nm and giant unilamellar liposomes/vesicles (GUVs) with a size range of  1-200 µm. GUVs are mostly used as models for biological membranes in research work. Animal cells are 10–30 µm and plant cells are typically 10–100 µm. Even smaller cell organelles such as mitochondria are typically 1-2 µm. Therefore, a proper model should account for the size of the specimen being studied. In addition, the size of vesicles dictates their membrane curvature which is an important factor in studying fusion proteins. SUVs have a higher membrane curvature and vesicles with high membrane curvature can promote membrane fusion faster than vesicles with lower membrane curvature such as GUVs.

The composition and characteristics of the cell membrane varies in different cells (plant cells, mammalian cells, bacterial cells, etc). In a membrane bilayer, often the composition of the phospholipids is different between the inner and outer leaflets. Phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylinositol, and sphingomyelin are some of the most common lipids most animal cell membranes. These lipids are widely different in charge, length, and saturation state. The presence of unsaturated bonds (double bonds) in lipids for example, creates a kink in acyl chains which further changes the lipid packing and results in a looser packing. Therefore, the composition and sizes of the unilamellar liposomes must be chosen carefully based on the subject of the study.

Each lipid bilayer structure is comparable to lamellar phase lipid organization in biological membranes, in general. In contrast, multilamellar liposomes (MLVs), consist of many concentric amphiphilic lipid bilayers analogous to onion layers, and MLVs may be of variable sizes up to several micrometers.

Preparation

Small unilamellar vesicles and large unilamellar vesicles
There are several methods to prepare unilamellar liposomes and the protocols differ based on the type of desired unilamellar vesicles. Different lipids can be bought either dissolved in chloroform or as lyophilized lipids. In the case of lyophilized lipids, they can be solubilized in chloroform. Lipids are then mixed with a desired molar ratio. Then chloroform is evaporated using a gentle stream of nitrogen (to avoid oxygen contact and oxidation of lipids) at room temperature. A rotary evaporator can be used to form a homogeneous layer of liposomes. This step removes the bulk of chloroform. To remove the residues of trapped chloroform, lipids are placed under vacuum from several hours to overnight. Next step is re-hydration where the dried lipids are re-suspended in the desired buffer. Lipids can be vortexed for several minutes to insure that all the lipid residues get re-suspended. SUVs can be obtained in via two methods. Either by sonication (for instance with 1 second pulses in 3 Hz cycles at a power of 150 W) or by extrusion. In extrusion method, the lipid mixture is passed through a membrane for 10  or more times. Depending on the size of the membrane, either SUVs or LUVs can be obtained. Keeping vesicles under argon and away from oxygen and light can extend their lifetime.

Giant unilamellar vesicles
Natural swelling: in this method soluble lipids in chloroform are pipetted on a Teflon ring. The chloroform is allowed to evaporate and the ring is then placed under the vacuum for several hours. Next the aqueous buffer is added gently over the Teflon ring and lipids are allowed to naturally swell to form GUVs overnight. the disadvantage of this method is that a large amount of multilamellar vesicles and lipid debris are formed.

Electroformation: In this method lipids are placed on a conductive cover glass (indium tin oxide or ITO coated glass) or on Pt wires instead of a Teflon ring and after vacuuming, buffer is placed on the dried lipids and it is sandwiched using a second conductive cover glass. Next an electrical field with certain frequency and voltage is applied which promotes formation of GUVs. For polyunsaturated lipids, this technique can induce a significant oxidation effect on the vesicles. Nevertheless, it is a very common and reliable technique to generate GUVs. Modified approaches exist that employ gel-assisted swelling (agarose-assisted swelling or PVA-assisted swelling) for the formation of GUVs under more biologically relevant conditions.

A variety of methods exist to encapsulate biological reactants within GUVs by using water-oil interfaces as a scaffold to assemble lipid layers. This allows the use GUVs as cell-like membrane containers for the in vitro recreation (and investigation) of biological functions. These encapsulation methods include microfluidic methods, which allow for a high-yield production of vesicles with consistent sizes.

Applications
Phospholipid liposomes are used as targeted drug delivery systems. Hydrophilic drugs can be carried as solution inside the SUVs or MLVs and hydrophobic drugs can be incorporated into lipid bilayer of these liposomes. If injected into circulation of human/animal body, MLVs are preferentially taken up phagocytic cells, and thus drugs can be targeted to these cells. For general or overall delivery, SUVs may be used. For topical applications on skin, specialized lipids like phospholipids and  sphingolipids may be used to make drug-free liposomes as moisturizers, and with drugs such as  for anti-ultraviolet radiation applications.

In biomedical research, unilamellar liposomes are extremely useful to study biological systems and mimicking cell functions. As a living cell is very complicated to study, unilamellar liposomes provide a simple tool to study membrane interaction events such as membrane fusion, protein localization in the plasma membrane, study ion channels, etc.
