title: Rory Enrique Conde

text:
Rory Enrique Conde (born June 14, 1965), a.k.a. "The Tamiami Trail Strangler", is a Colombian-born serial killer who killed six prostitutes in Florida, U.S. over a span of 5 months from September 1994 to January 1995. He was sentenced to death on March 7, 2000, and has been on the Florida death row since.

Personal life
Rory Conde was born on June 14, 1965, in Barranquilla, Colombia. His mother died of tetanus when he was six months old. Conde and his sister Nelly were then raised by their paternal grandmother. When Conde was twelve, they moved to Miami to live with Conde's father, Gustavo Conde. Conde did not like his father and thought he was emotionally abusive. Conde's future wife, Carla Conde, thought that Rory's outbursts were a result of sexual abuse at the hands of his father.

Rory and Carla were married in 1987, when he was 21 and she was 15, eventually having two children. Rory was an abusive husband and had a stint in jail in 1992 as a result of a fight with Carla over Rory bringing girls over. They later moved to a condo off the Tamiami Trail.

They stopped having sex and Rory would disappear at night. In July 1994 Carla moved out to her parents' house with their two children. Rory threatened to kill her if she dated anyone else.

Murders
On September 17, 1994, Conde killed cross dressing male prostitute,  Lazaro Comesana. He later said that he killed Lazaro after finding out he was a man during sex.

Conde then killed two more prostitutes, Elisa Martinez on October 8 and Charity Nava on November 20. On the back and buttocks of Charity he wrote "THIRD! (A happy face dotting the 'i') I will call Dwight Chan 10. (A reference to WPLG anchor Dwight Lauderdale) [See] if you can catch me. (Using two eyes instead of the word 'See')"

Conde then killed three more prostitutes: Wanda Crawford on November 25, Necole Schneider on December 17, and  Rhonda Dunn on January 12, 1995.

He strangled his victims to death and then anally raped the corpses afterward.

Aftermath
Conde was arrested on June 19, 1995, when Gloria Maestre, a prostitute he had bound head to toe, made enough noise to attract neighbors while Conde was in court for a shoplifting charge.

He was sentenced to death on March 7, 2000, for the murder of Rhonda Dunn. He later pleaded guilty to the murder of five others and was sentenced to five consecutive life terms without parole on April 5, 2001.

title: PKP class EW51

text:
EW51 (originally series 91 000/92 000, later on E400/E500, E93, and E51) was a three-car electric multiple unit, produced by the Lilpop, Rau i Loewenstein plants in Warsaw (mechanical parts of motor cars), H. Cegielski Spółka Akcyjna in Poznań and L. Zieleniewski in Sanok (control cars and trailer cars) in the years 1936–1939. Electrical equipment was supplied by English Electric. The units were intended for suburban traffic in the Warsaw area. Before the war, the units had second- and third-class compartments. A total of 76 units were produced. Currently, the only surviving vehicle, EW51-36, is the property of the Museum Station in Warsaw. Restoration was completed in January 2019.

Construction
Following the electrification of the suburban railway in Warsaw, there was a need for new trains to operate on them. On August 2, 1933, an agreement was reached with British companies to supply electrical equipment for the future units. The chief designer of the mechanical parts of the locomotive was T. Owczarek. A prototype unit was produced in 1935 by Lilpop, Rau and Loewenstein and H. Cegielski. The electrical equipment was installed under the supervision of English specialists.

The work on first units started in July 1936 and one was presented to the public during an exhibition in August 1936 at Pole Mokotowskie in Warsaw. The first train to enter revenue service ran on December 15, 1936. By the end of 1937 the Polish State Railways (PKP) had 60 units in service. A further 16 units were ordered and built by 1939.

The units were marked with the PKP service designation of ECmx (E: electric, C: third class, m: motor car with pantograph, x: four axle) and fleet numbers from 91 001 to 91 076. The trailer carriages were designated EBCbdxx and driving cars received EBCbdsxx, with numbers from 92 001 to 92 076.

The units consisted of three carriages: a motor car, a trailer and a non-powered control car, permanently coupled in operation and could only be separated in a workshop environment. The three-car units were equipped for multiple working and with automatic Scharfenberg couplers, up to three units (i.e. trains consisting of six or nine cars) could be coupled. The use of driver's cabs at both ends meant that the units could travel both ways without having to be turned around.

The motor car was equipped with electrical equipment (3 kV and 110 V) housed in a special compartment, located in the front of the car, adjacent to the driver's cab. The low voltage from a motor-generator set was used to supply auxiliary power and charge the batteries. The trailer and driving trailer had Jacobs bogie, thanks to this the weight of the unit was reduced. The current was collected from an overhead line by one of two pantographs (the rear one), which was raised based on the direction of travel, apart from times when the contact was poor (e.g. icy conditions), when both pantographs were raised. The motor cars were equipped with four traction motors, each driving one axle.

After World War 2 ten units were refurbished at Waggonbau Görlitz and due to a shortage of Jacobs bogies their trailer and control cars each received separate two axle bogies, increasing the total weight of the trainset. The modified units were designated as PKP class EW52. In total 36 units were restored as either EW51 or EW52 and remained in service till the end of 1970's. A single unit has been preserved and transferred to the Warsaw Railway Museum but was allowed to gradually deteriorate at railway siding until 2018 when it was restored and preserved by ZNTK Mińsk Mazowiecki and in 2021 transported by the Masovian Railways for static exhibition in the museums main site by the Warszawa Główna railway station.

title: Romanian Argentines

text:
Romanian Argentines are Argentine citizens of Romanian descent or a group of Romania-born people who nowadays reside in Argentina.

Romanian immigration to Argentina began in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century. It started along with the massive wave of European immigrants who arrived in the country during that period. Many Romanian immigrants to Argentina were Jewish. Numerically, this current was significantly lower than that of other peoples of Central and Eastern Europe.

History

Romanian immigration to Argentina can be divided into three waves:

First wave
The first wave ranges from the late nineteenth century until after World War II. Immigrants came mainly from Austria-Hungary (Transylvania and Bukovina) and the Russian Empire (Bessarabia).

The earliest of whom is adventurer Julius Popper, who perpetrated the Selk'nam genocide.

Second wave
The second wave of Romanian immigrants in Argentina came just after the end of the World War II.

Third wave
The third wave came in the 90's, after the end of the communist regime in Romania.

Romanian Jews

As part of the first wave of Romanian immigrants who arrived to Argentina, Jewish settlers founded numerous towns in Santa Fe and Entre Ríos, including those of Moisés Ville, Palacios, Las Palmeras and Monigotes. Many families of Romanian-Jewish background joined these groups of pioneers.

title: Dumb Starbucks

text:
"Dumb Starbucks" is the fifth episode of the second season of the American television docu-reality comedy series Nathan for You, and the thirteenth overall episode of the series. Written by series co-creators Nathan Fielder and Michael Koman, as well as Dan Mintz, it first aired on Comedy Central in the United States on July 29, 2014. In the series, Fielder plays an off-kilter version of himself, who tries to use his business background and experiences to help struggling companies and people, offering them strategies that no traditional business consultant would dare.

In the episode, Fielder attempts to help a struggling coffee shop by renaming it Dumb Starbucks, a parody of the American coffee company and coffeehouse chain. While producing the episode, the actual Dumb Starbucks location provoked real international media coverage. This episode was the second time Nathan for You was the subject of serious coverage from mainstream media outlets, the first being for a video produced for the season one episode "Santa/Petting Zoo". The location attracted dozens of visitors before it was allegedly shut down by the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (LACDHS), an event incorporated into the episode, although the LACDHS has no records of an action against Dumb Starbucks. Spectators and media commentators questioned the stunt's authenticity, viewing it variously as performance art, a statement on consumerism, a viral marketing achievement or the work of street artist Banksy.

Starbucks did not pursue legal action, although it did note to the press that it was "evaluating" the possibility while reinforcing that the "Starbucks" name is a protected trademark. Upon the episode's broadcast, it was acclaimed by television critics.

Plot
Elias Zacklin is the owner of The Helio Cafe, a small coffee shop in East Hollywood, that lacks customers. Fielder meets with Zacklin to discuss how he can compete with bigger coffee chains. His idea is that parody law permits fair use of a company's logos and branding, which should attract their customers. He suggests they change Helio's name to a parody of Starbucks named "Dumb Starbucks". Fielder meets with lawyer Peter J. Marx, who informs him that the legality is not yet sound because individuals could confuse Dumb Starbucks for the famous corporation, unless Fielder has established himself as a parody artist. In a twist, Fielder reveals he has fooled Marx into signing a release form that holds him responsible for any legal damages the stunt may create. Marx refuses to give Fielder the contract back, but Fielder confirms they have video footage of him signing the contract, which will hold up in court. Zacklin and Fielder begin writing parodies of popular songs to perform at an open mic night. Fielder also opens an art gallery containing pieces of visual art mocking popular culture, continuing his quest to become a parody artist.

When tensions with Zacklin arise, he decides to pursue Dumb Starbucks on his own, kicking Zacklin off the project. Renting a vacant retail space in nearby Los Feliz, they begin to construct the shop over the course of a week. Fielder posts a Craigslist ad seeking baristas with Starbucks experience, and hires two applicants. Dumb Starbucks opens to little fanfare, leading Fielder to promote the store in the parking lot of a local Starbucks. The next day, the location becomes a phenomenon, attracting dozens of visitors and international media coverage. Fielder announces plans to open a second location in Brooklyn, New York, but the store is shut down by the health department. To help him navigate the fiasco, he returns to Zacklin for help, who refuses. Fielder realizes that he has put himself above who he intends to help, and has become what he despises most. Attempting to right his wrongs, he posts a sign on the door of the now-empty former Dumb Starbucks, suggesting visitors instead visit The Helio Cafe.

Production

In producing the second season of Nathan for You, Fielder and the show's writing staff did not intend to produce something that would go viral online. For an episode in the show's first season, they had created a YouTube video, "Pig rescues baby goat", which gained seven million views and news coverage even before the series aired. Fielder did not want to do something similar again; as he later put it, "I'm not into things that feel like a sequel." He and the writing staff thought that the Dumb Starbucks location might attract local news media, but not much else.

Dumb Starbucks opened on February 7, 2014 at 1802 Hillhurst Avenue in Los Feliz, Los Angeles, which they announced via a tweet by an "official" Twitter account. The strip mall also contained a Thai restaurant and a coin-operated laundromat. The location contained items such as "Dumb Espresso" and "Dumb Frappuccino," CDs of Dumb Nora [sic] Jones Duets, and coffee sizes were dumb tall, dumb grande and dumb venti. Bootleggers outside the store sold ten-dollar "Dumb Starbucks" hats and one-dollar stickers. A line outside, composed of curious locals, extended beyond the strip mall. The location did not have a business license or health code rating visible. The popularity of Dumb Starbucks was fueled by social media, and according to USA Today, tweets from visitors revealed they stood in line for an hour to receive the free coffee. The New Yorker noted that visitors protested the store's "horrible coffee."

A reporter from Grantland visited the location, describing it as "madness with a side of possible poignancy." News crews set up cameras in the strip mall's parking lot, but were unable to interview the "mysterious" owner behind Dumb Starbucks. Upon the store's closure at 5:30 p.m., several people in the line began chanting "We want Dumb!" Comment threads online suggested Fielder was behind the prank, and Fielder held a press conference on February 10, confirming that the Dumb Starbucks store was a television stunt. The store was closed later that day by the health department for operating without a permit.

In an email to media outlets, Starbucks confirmed that "We are evaluating next steps and while we appreciate the humor, they cannot use our name, which is a protected trademark." Mark McKenna, a law professor at the University of Notre Dame specializing in trademark law, told USA Today that "My gut tells me a court would be bothered by how much of the Starbucks trademark was used. It's not just the word but they also made the store look just like it." As it turned out, Comedy Central and parent company Viacom escaped legal action from Starbucks.

Themes

"Dumb Starbucks" as a whole explores the fair use of copyrighted material with regards to the art form of parody. Fielder describes the issues involved within the episode, noting that parody "allows you to use trademarks and copyrighted material as long as you're making fun of them." A "frequently asked questions" notice on the window of the location stated that the location was operating as an art gallery and was technically "making fun" of Starbucks as a parodic work of art. "The 'coffee' you're buying is considered the art," read the notice, "but that's for our lawyers to worry about. All you need to do is enjoy our delicious coffee!" Fielder summarized the episode's satirical intent as "a parody about the power of corporate branding."

Outside the scope of the episode, the actual Dumb Starbucks spurred discussion regarding public consumption of art. Spectators questioned the store's authenticity, some of which are depicted in the episode, presuming it to be a political statement on consumerism, or an offshoot of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Many commentators theorized it could be British graffiti artist Banksy, and others simply considered the stunt a successful viral marketing strategy. Dissenters dismissed the store as "too hipster."

The episode features the one recurring narrative in Nathan for You, namely, "...that the underlying motive of these schemes is so Nathan can find friends, find love, and end his loneliness." Robin Hardwick of Entertainment Weekly characterized the episode's ending as a Faustian bargain.

Cultural references
As mentioned, the episode mainly targets Starbucks, and lampoons its merchandise and branding. The Dumb Starbucks store's logo, interior design, color schemes, employee uniforms, menu, and CD offerings all imitate Starbucks.

In his quest to become a parody artist, Fielder suggests they mock the Rolling Stones, due to their age. Among Fielder's musical parodies include spoofs of "Glycerine" by Bush and "Save Tonight" by Eagle-Eye Cherry. Hardwick noted that many of Fielder's parodies consisted of late 1990s popular music. At his art gallery, one piece depicts the logo of Bank of America as a tank, mocking the corporation as "Tank of America". Other parodies include Continental Breakfast Airlines, T.G.I. Fart, Fruit in the Room, 1806 Flags, WoodFellas, and a 76 (gas station) logo prominently featuring the words "SIXTY-NINE". The episode also incorporates clips from real media coverage of the "Dumb Starbucks" location, including Today, Fox News and Fielder's appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.

Reception
The heavy press coverage of "Dumb Starbucks" attracted new viewers to Nathan for You, and increased Fielder's own public profile considerably. Following the stunt, Comedy Central posted the show's entire first season on their official website for streaming.

The episode received critical acclaim from television critics. John Teti of The A.V. Club gave the episode an A, writing, "There is no brilliant meaning at the heart of 'Dumb Starbucks' except for the meaning that bystanders bring to it. And that, paradoxically, is the brilliant meaning at the heart of 'Dumb Starbucks.'" Bill Bradley of The Huffington Post called the episode "genius." Ryan Bort of Paste rated the episode a perfect 10/10, commenting, "the 'Dumb Starbucks' episode of Nathan For You more than lived up to the Dumb Starbucks phenomenon." Robin Hardwick of Entertainment Weekly deemed it "almost a game-changer for the whole show." "The much-anticipated 'Dumb Starbucks' episode finally aired last night and not only did it live up to the hype, but it went above and beyond," wrote Pilot Viruet of Flavorwire, summarizing, "It's an impressive episode of television, one that surpassed all expectations and seamlessly incorporated all of the prior media hype that was surrounding it, and just another showcase of why Nathan For You is consistently churning out some of the smartest and funniest comedy on television."

Comedy Central auctioned off the art pieces featured in the episode online on the day following the episode's broadcast.

The Helio Cafe

Soon after the "Dumb Starbucks" episode first aired, owner Elias Zacklin told a reporter that he had let all of his staff go that summer, as he could not afford to pay anyone. According to its business listing on Google Search and the business directory website Yelp, The Helio Cafe permanently closed. The last Yelp customer review for the cafe was posted on March 12, 2016, almost 20 months after the premiere of "Dumb Starbucks".

title: Julius Nättinen

text:
Julius Nättinen (born 14 January 1997) is a Finnish professional ice hockey forward who is currently playing with HIFK of the Liiga. He was drafted by the Anaheim Ducks in the second round, 59th overall, in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career
Nättinen played as a youth in his native Finland and made his Liiga debut playing a solitary game with JYP Jyväskylä during the 2013–14 season.

On 16 July 2015, Nättinen was signed to a three-year entry-level contract by the Anaheim Ducks. He left Finland after the draft to continue his development playing major junior hockey in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) after he was selected by the Barrie Colts, 51st overall in the CHL Import Draft in 2015.

After his rookie season in the OHL with the Colts in the 2015–16 season and having scored 71 points in just 52 games, Nättinen was traded to the Windsor Spitfires on 26 June 2016.

In his first North American professional season, Nättinen was assigned to the Ducks' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the San Diego Gulls, for the duration of the 2017–18 season. Unable to find his scoring touch, Nättinen produced just 4 goals in 55 games. Following the Ducks' 2018 training camp, Nättinen was among the first round of cuts and rather than return to the AHL, opted for a mutual release from his contract with the Ducks on 24 September 2018.

Following the termination of his NHL contract, Nättinen returned to his original Liiga club, JYP Jyväskylä, securing a three-year contract on 25 September 2018.  Nättinen led Liiga with 33 goals scored in the 2019–20 season.

On July 3, 2020, Nättinen signed a one-year contract with HC Ambrì-Piotta of the National League (NL). He was forced to sit out the first two weeks of the regular season in early October with a groin strain. Nättinen then went on to score 12 goals in his first 10 regular season games. He finished his lone season in Switzerland with 17 goals and 25 points through 32 games.

On 20 May 2021, Nättinen moved to Sweden as a free agent, agreeing to a one-year contract with reigning champions Växjö Lakers of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL).

After a lone season with Växjö, Nättinen left at the conclusion of his contract with returned to the Finnish Liiga in agreeing to a two-year contract with HIFK on 10 May 2022.

title: Raymond III of Pallars Jussà

text:
Raymond III (died 1047), called Ramon Sunyer (Spanish: Ramón Súñer), was the first Count of Pallars Jussà (Lower Pallars) from 1011 until his death. He succeeded his father, Count Sunyer I of Pallars, who divided his county between his two sons. Raymond, the elder, received Pallars Jussà and William II, the younger, received Pallars Sobirà. Raymond's mother, Ermentrude, was Sunyer's first wife.

As early as 1006, Raymond appears as co-count with his father, but while his father was styled "count by the grace of God", Raymond was merely styled "count". His brother William was not titled count at this time.

In 1040 Raymond signed a convention (convenientia) with Count Ermengol III of Urgell. He agreed to recognise Ermengol as his lord and in return receive an annual subsidy from the count. This was the first charter following the convenientia formula in Pallars Jussà. The scribe was a priest named Vidal who had a long career with Raymond's son, Raymond IV, and the latter's father-in-law, Lord Arnau Mir de Tost. In the same convention, Ermengol quitclaimed the castle of Llimiana (Liminina) to Raymond to put an end to "all the quarrels he had with him" (omnes querelas quas habebat de eum).

When Raymond IV, who succeeded his father, compelled his subjects to swear a collective public oath, he made reference to Raymond III and William II of Pallars Sobirà. On this basis, Pierre Bonnassie argued that the public oath probably originated at least under Raymond III and his brother and that Raymond IV was borrowing their formula. This would be an important piece of evidence that countship in Pallars still reflected the Carolingian model of public office rather than a model of private landowning.

Marriages and children
Raymond's first wife was Mayor, a daughter (probably the youngest) of Count García Fernández of Castile and Countess Ava of Ribagorza. The first record of their marriage dates to 3 August 1016, but by then they had been married for several years (since 1008/10). Ava's sister Tota was Count Sunyer's second wife and Raymond was thus married to the niece of his step-mother, perhaps through her arrangement. Sometime after January 1027, Raymond repudiated his wife. In 1028 Mayor was governing the monastery of San Miguel del Pedroso in Castile. She was still alive in 1034.

By 1029 Raymond had taken a second wife, Ermessinda. All that is known for certain of her origins is her mother's name, Gilga or Guisla. She may have been a daughter of Count Ermengol I of Urgell, whose second wife was Guisla (flourished 1005–10). Ermessinda was the mother of Raymond's sons, Raymond IV and Sunyer II. She may have been the mother of his only known daughter, Ricarda, who by 1044 was married to García Eizo. Ermessinda outlived her husband and died between 2 August 1055 and 27 October 1069.

title: Patrick Thaddeus

text:
Patrick Thaddeus (June 6, 1932 – April 28, 2017) was an American professor and finished his career as the Robert Wheeler Willson Professor of Applied Astronomy Emeritus at Harvard University. He is best known for mapping carbon monoxide in the Milky Way galaxy and was responsible for the construction of the CfA 1.2 m Millimeter-Wave Telescope.

Early life and education
He was born on June 6, 1932, to Elizabeth and Victor Thaddeus. His mother divorced Thaddeus when he and his sister, Deirdre, were very young. She later remarried to Vincent Copeland.

Thaddeus graduated from University of Delaware in 1953 with a Bachelor of Science degree. He was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship through which he attended the University of Oxford, graduating with a Master's degree in theoretical physics in 1955. His doctoral work was at Columbia University, where he earned his Ph.D. under Charles Hard Townes in 1960 with a thesis titled Beam Maser Spectroscopy.

Career
After earning his doctorate, Thaddeus stayed at Columbia University as a research associate in the Columbia Radiation Laboratory until 1961, when he took a position working for NASA at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies, where he remained until 1986. He also taught at Columbia University during that period, from 1965 until 1986. It was during his time at Columbia that the CfA 1.2 m Millimeter-Wave Telescope was built. In 1986, Thaddeus (along with the 1.2 meter telescope and other scientists on the team) moved to Harvard, where he remained for the rest of his teaching career and remained Professor Emeritus until his death in April 2017.

Thaddeus held a few other teaching positions during his career at institutions including State University of New York, Stony Brook (1966–1967), University of California, Berkeley (1968), and University of Cambridge (1983–1984).

Thaddeus and his colleagues designed a radio telescope custom-built for the task of mapping the entire Milky Way in CO. The 1.2 meter Millimeter-Wave Telescope was designed with a relatively small dish and consequently a relatively large beamwidth of about 1/8 degree, which can be likened to a wide-angle lens. With this new instrument, it suddenly became possible to map large stretches of sky in relatively small amounts of time. The telescope is nicknamed "The Mini" because of its unusually small size. Together, "The Mini" and its twin in Chile have obtained what is by far the most extensive, uniform, and widely used Galactic survey of interstellar carbon monoxide (CO).

Harvard astronomer Tom Dame, in collaboration with Thaddeus, discovered the Far 3 kpc Arm of the Milky Way.

Personal life

Thaddeus married the former Janice Farrar (daughter of John Chipman Farrar and Margaret Petherbridge Farrar) in 1963. Janice Farrar Thaddeus was a scholar, poet, editor, and former Harvard lecturer in English; she died of a stroke in 2001 at the age of 68. They have two children: Eva (b. 1965) and Michael (b. 1967), as well as two grandchildren.

Publications

Thaddeus authored or co-authored more than three hundred research papers and more than twenty invited papers in astronomy and physics.

title: Anton Domenico Bamberini

text:
Anton Domenico Bamberini (1666–1741) was an Italian painter, mainly of religious Baroque frescoes in churches completed in a heavily ornamented and stuccoed trompe-l'œil frames and settings.

Biography
Bamberini was born in Florence. He was a pupil of the painter Simone Pignoni, and most of his works were completed in Florence and surrounding towns. In 1710, he frescoed the cupola of the church of Santa Cristiana in Santa Croce sull'Arno, depicting the Assumption of the Virgin. The cloister was destroyed during World War Two, and the frescoes that could be rescued, depicting events in the life of St Francis, were reassembled.

In 1734–1735, along with Gaetano Castellani and Mauro Soderini, he frescoed the walls of the cloister of St Francis in San Casciano in Val di Pesa. The frescoes depict events in the Life of St Francis. He also helped decorate the presbytery (1719–1720) of the church of Santa Maria Novella of Marti, Italy.

Bamberini helped spearhead Baroque decorations in many churches in Pisa, including the Oratory of the Santissimi Crocifisso, the Cathedral, the Chapel of the Bishop's Palace, and in the Dominican Church of Saints James and Lucia.

Bamberini's self-portrait is part of Italian collections. He also frescoed the counterfacade, depicting the Madonna, Child, and Saints for the church of San Donato in the Comune of Terricciola. He also painted a Glory of St Augustine for the church of Santa Maria della Neve al Portico in Florence.

Bamberini died in Gramugnana, Lucca, in 1741.

title: Ansley B. Borkowski

text:
Ansley Bernard Borkowski (January 15, 1898 – December 1, 1992) was an American lawyer and politician from New York.

Life
He was born on January 15, 1898, in Buffalo, New York. He attended Canisius High School and Canisius College. He graduated from University of Buffalo Law School, and practiced law in Buffalo.

Borkowski was a Republican member of the New York State Assembly (Erie Co., 5th D.) in 1921, 1924, 1925, 1926, 1927, 1928, 1929 and 1930. He was Chairman of the Committee on General Laws from 1927 to 1930.

He was Clerk of the New York State Assembly from 1936 to 1964, officiating in the 159th, 160th, 161st, 162nd, 163rd, 164th, 165th, 166th, 167th, 168th, 169th, 170th, 171st, 172nd, 173rd and 174th New York State Legislatures. In January 1965, Borkowski opened the proceedings for the election of a Speaker in the 175th New York State Legislature, as the outgoing clerk traditionally did. This was the first time since 1935 that a Democratic majority was elected to the Assembly, but due to a split into two factions—one following Mayor of New York City Robert F. Wagner, Jr., the other following U.S. Senator Robert F. Kennedy—no Speaker could be elected. Borkowski presided over a month of deadlock until the election of Anthony J. Travia as Speaker on February 4 with the votes of the Wagner men and the Republicans. Subsequently the Assembly was organized and Democrat John T. McKennan was elected to succeed Borkowski.

He died on December 1, 1992, in Buffalo, New York; and was buried at the St. Stanislaus Catholic Cemetery in Cheektowaga.

title: Abu 'Abdallah Muhammad

text:
Abu 'Abdallah Muhammad (killed 995) was the last ruler of the Afrighid dynasty of Khwarezm from 967 to 995. He was the son and successor of Abu Sa'id Ahmad.

During the chaos that occurred among the Samanids, Khwarazm was not affected by it. However, in 992, Abu 'Abdallah aided the Samanid ruler Nuh II against the Turkic Kara-Khanid Khanate, and was granted several towns in northern Khurasan, which included the important town of Abiward. Abu 'Ali Simjuri, the governor of Khurasan, however, refused to grant the latter the cities.

In 995, Ma'mun I ibn Muhammad, the Ma'munid ruler of Gurganj, invaded the domains of Abu 'Abdallah and executed him, putting an end to Afrighid rule, and uniting the Khwarezm province under his rule.

title: Port Royal, Mississippi

text:
Port Royal is a ghost town in Coahoma County, Mississippi, United States.

Once a busy port on the Mississippi River, Port Royal today is covered by wetland and a portion of the Mississippi Levee. Nothing remains of the original settlement.

History
Port Royal is the oldest town in Coahoma County, with land sales recorded prior to 1836.  At that time, the Mississippi River curved east around "Horseshoe Bend", with Port Royal located at the east end of the bend.

The town may have originally been called "Powhatan", and its name was likely changed by William J. Oldham, an early settler—born in Port Royal, South Carolina—who owned land on the south bank of Horseshoe Bend.

In 1836, the newly created Coahoma County government (called the "Board of Police") designated Port Royal as its first county seat.

Port Royal was the largest and busiest town in Coahoma County, with a landing for steamboats and a few small trading stores and cabins.  John Clark, the founder of Clarksdale, landed at Port Royal when he first arrived in the county.

Port Royal did not have a post office, and never incorporated.

In 1841, high waters on the Mississippi River flooded the town, and in 1842, the county seat was moved to the town of Delta.

The Mississippi River changed its course in 1848, creating the "Horseshoe Cutoff", and removing Port Royal from the contiguous flow of the river.  As sediment built near the ends of Horseshoe Bend, the waterway became an oxbow lake (now called "Horseshoe Lake").

No longer a riverfront town, the economic impact was immediate and Port Royal ceased to exist.

title: Electronic consultation

text:
Electronic consultation is an aspect of telemedicine which involves remote communication between patients and clinicians, or between clinicians and specialists.

E-consult was one of the earlier applications which primary care physicians could use to consult specialists. Dermatology  lent itself to this approach as pictures could be sent for examination in a specialist centre in a process analogous to the well-established treatment of pathological specimens.  The widespread use of electronic health records is reducing the need for specialist applications of this kind. There is developing interest in the application of such techniques in mental health.  See  remote therapy.

Consultation applications
Getting an appointment with care specialists can be difficult. But electronic consultation has stepped in to provide medical diagnosis or evaluation that can be carried out over the phone from the comfort of your home. Your healthcare provider can easily place a voice or video call to you, engage you with some test questions, analyze symptoms of ailments, treat and manage them. Improved technology has made electronic consultation easier, even for those who don't consider themselves computer savvy. You can use electronic consultation through online platforms or mobile apps and request a virtual visit with doctors, practitioners, and therapists.

title: Toxicoscordion fontanum

text:
Toxicoscordion fontanum,, common name small-flower death camas, is a rare plant species known only from serpentine marshes in California. It is found primarily in the Coast Ranges from Mendocino County to San Luis Obispo County, with an additional report of an isolated population in the Sierra Nevada foothills in Kern County east of Bakersfield.

Toxicoscordion fontanum is a bulb-forming perennial herb. Bulbs are egg-shaped, up to 40 mm (1.6 inches) long, not clumped together. Inflorescences are paniculate, sometimes with as many as 100 flowers. Tepals are cream-colored, up to 12 mm (0.5 inches) long; filaments shorter than the tepals.

Toxicity

As with many other species formerly included in Zigadenus, this species is highly toxic and potentially lethal to humans and to livestock. Some people have eaten it confusing it with wild onion, Allium spp. Zigadenus and Toxicoscordion do not, however, have the characteristic onion scent associated with Allium spp.

Ecology

It is not unusual to find species that specialize in growing on serpentine soil. There are scattered pocket of this soil in various parts of California, Oregon, and elsewhere. Metamorphic rocks such as serpentinite are formed well below the earth's surface then carried upward by geologic activity. Soils made from such rocks tend to be low in nutrients such as nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus but high in nickel and chromium. Such conditions are toxic to most plants, but some species such as T. fontanum have evolved with adaptations allowing them to tolerate serpentine soils.

The 1972 United States presidential election in New Hampshire took place on November 7, 1972, as part of the 1972 United States presidential election, which was held throughout all 50 states and D.C. Voters chose four representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

New Hampshire was won by the Republican nominees, incumbent President Richard Nixon of California and his running mate incumbent Vice President Spiro Agnew of Maryland. Nixon and Agnew defeated the Democratic nominees, Senator George McGovern of South Dakota and his running mate United States Ambassador Sargent Shriver of Maryland.

Nixon took 63.98% of the vote to McGovern's 34.85%, a margin of 29.12%. New Hampshire in this era normally leaned Republican, having not gone Democratic since the nationwide Democratic landslide of 1964. As Nixon won re-election nationally in a 49-state landslide, New Hampshire easily remained in the Republican column, with McGovern's only victories coming from neighboring Massachusetts and the District of Columbia.

On the county map, Nixon swept all 10 of the state's counties, breaking 60% in 7 of them. As in previous elections, Carroll County and Belknap County were the most Republican counties in the state, both voting over 70% for Nixon. McGovern's strongest county was Strafford County, where he managed 41.3% of the vote to Nixon's 57.8%.

Amidst Nixon's landslide nationwide win, New Hampshire would weigh in as almost 6% more Republican than the national average, and would be the most Republican state in the Northeast. Nixon had previously won New Hampshire in both 1960 and 1968.

title: Angela McLean

text:
Angela McLean (born August 19, 1970) is an American politician and educator who served as the 35th Lieutenant Governor of Montana from February 10, 2014, to January 3, 2016. Governor Steve Bullock, a Democrat, selected McLean in 2014 to replace newly appointed U.S. Senator John Walsh after appointing Walsh to the vacancy created by Senator Max Baucus's resignation.

She was sworn in as Montana's new Lieutenant Governor by District Judge Ray Dayton on February 17, 2014. She was the first teacher and the second woman (after Judy Martz) to serve as the state's Lieutenant Governor.

Career
McLean was chairwoman of the Montana Board of Regents from January 2012 to February 2014. She has also served on the Montana Board of Public Education. She taught American history and government at Anaconda High School. She was originally from Twin Bridges, Montana. She also has taught as an adjunct professor at Montana Tech of the University of Montana.

On February 10, 2014, Bullock named Angela McLean to serve as the 31st Lieutenant Governor of Montana. At the time of her appointment, McLean was a teacher at Anaconda High School and the Chairwoman of the Montana Board of Regents. After McLean became Lieutenant Governor, fellow Regent Paul Tuss was named the acting chair.

McLean focused on education, including science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and Montana's SMART Schools initiative, during her tenure as Lieutenant Governor of Montana.

In November 2015 McLean announced her resignation as Lieutenant Governor of Montana, effective upon the appointment of her successor, in order to accept the position of director of American Indian and minority achievement in the office of the state commissioner of higher education. Emails and correspondence indicate that Bullock and McLean had a fraught relationship during the final months of her tenure and the conditions surrounding McLean's departure may not have been positive. In a statement to Lee Newspapers on December 11, McLean said, "I loved every part of my job as lieutenant governor. I worked hard every day and in every part of the state to advocate for my fellow Montanans and earn the salary they paid me."

Personal life
McLean graduated from Twin Bridges High School and became the first person in her family to graduate from college. She earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Montana Western and a master's degree in curriculum and instruction at the University of Montana. She is married to Mike McLean, an attorney. The couple has two children, Colin and Ellen.

title: Remington Model 760

text:
The Remington Model 760 Gamemaster is a pump-action, centerfire rifle made by Remington Arms from 1952 to 1981. The Model 760 replaced the Model 141 in the product lineup. Being fed by a box magazine freed the design to use more powerful rounds with spitzer bullets. It was succeeded by the Remington Model 7600 series.

Design

Following World War II, many of Remington's pre-war firearms resumed production. This created a dilemma for the company as it had produced martial arms during the war. Production of military arms had forced manufacturers to streamline production and use more economical methods and materials that were not adaptable to most earlier designs. Remington set about creating families of firearms that shared a common design and parts. This trend began with the Model 11-48 and continues to this day. The Model 870 and 1100 shotguns share a similar construction, styling, and many parts with the Model 760 and 740 rifles.

The 760 featured a detachable box magazine, dual action bars, and a removable aluminum trigger group. The bolt featured 14 locking lugs laid out in an interrupted-thread pattern. These lugs are locked into corresponding lugs in a barrel extension by means of a cam-rotated bolt.  This bolt arrangement was problematic and the interrupted thread lugs were replaced with more conventional lugs on the Model 7600 that replaced it.

Variants
A number of variants were manufactured mostly differing in the finish, stock style and grade, sights, and other small details. One version, the 760C, featured an 18.5" barrel.

Criminal uses
James Earl Ray used a .30-06 Model 760 Gamemaster to assassinate Martin Luther King, Jr, at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee on April 4, 1968. The killing sparked riots across the country and was a factor in the passage of the Gun Control Act of 1968.

A .30-06 Model 760 was used in the 1999 OC Transpo shooting, The  gunman killed four  other people and injured two  before killing himself in an OC Transpo garage in Ottawa.

title: Abu Nasr Muhammad

text:
Abu Nasr Muhammad (died 1015 or 1016) was the ruler of Gharchistan from an unknown date to the 990s. He was from an Iranian princely family which ruled Gharchistan, and bore the title of Shar (meaning "greatness and lordship"). Although the family had already ruled the region before Abu Nasr Muhammad, he is the first known member of the family. His father was named Asad, and may have ruled before him.

Biography
Abu Nasr lived during the lifetime of his suzerain, the Samanid ruler Nuh II (r. 976 – 997). Abu Nasr was fond of learning, and his court was visited by many scholars, whom he patronized. He also had a young son named Shah Muhammad. When his son became an adult, Abu Nasr abdicated in favor of him, and began completely focusing on increasing his knowledge. However, in 994, the Simjurid rebel Abu 'Ali Simjuri, whose family's power had grown strong, invaded Gharchistan, thus forcing Abu Nasr Muhammad and his son Shah Muhammad to flee from their homeland to a fortress, where they fortified themselves.

Luckily for the Shar family, the Ghaznavid prince Sabuktigin, who was a Samanid vassal, shortly attacked Abu 'Ali, and managed to repel the latter to Gurgan, thus giving the Shars the opportunity to reconquer their homeland. However, in 998, the Ghaznavids under Mahmud had grown so powerful that they declared independence from the Samanids, and soon began subduing the vassal states of the Samanids, including Gharchistan. In 1012, Mahmud used Shah Muhammad's bad behavior as an excuse to invade his domains in 1012.

Abu Nasr did not resist the invasion, and quickly surrendered to the Ghaznavid troops, while Shah Muhammad chose to fight the Ghaznavid troops, but was defeated and captured. While Shah Muhammad was treated badly during his captivity, Abu Nasr was treated with respect and was honored. Mahmud's vizier Ahmad Maymandi also greatly honored him, and even tried to protect him. Abu Nasr later died in 1015 or 1016, but his family is some decades later mentioned as serving the Ghurids.

title: Pan-cancer analysis

text:
Pan-cancer analysis aims to examine the similarities and differences among the genomic and cellular alterations found across diverse tumor types.
International efforts have performed pan-cancer analysis on exomes and the whole genomes of cancers, the latter including their non-coding regions. In 2018, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Research Network used exome, transcriptome, and DNA methylome data to develop an integrated picture of commonalities, differences, and emergent themes across tumor types.

In 2020, the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC)/TCGA Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes project published a set of 24 papers analyzing whole cancer genomes and transcriptomic data from 38 tumor types. A comprehensive overview of the project is provided in its flagship paper.

Another project, pan-cancer analysis of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) across human cancers, explored the expression, somatic copy number alteration, and mutation profiles of 1,542 RBPs in ~7,000 clinical specimens across 15 cancer types. This study characterized the oncogenic properties of six RBPs—NSUN6, ZC3H13, BYSL, ELAC1, RBMS3, and ZGPAT—in colorectal and liver cancer cell lines.

Several studies have found a causal, predictable connection between genomic alterations (single-nucleotide variants or large copy number variants) and gene expression across all tumor types. This pan-cancer relationship between genomic status and transcriptomic quantitative data can predict a specific genomic alteration from gene expression profiles alone; it can also be used as the basis for machine learning approaches.

Pan-cancer studies
Pan-cancer studies aim to detect the genes whose mutation is conducive to oncogenesis, as well as recurrent genomic events or aberrations between different tumors. For these studies, it is necessary to standardize the data between multiple platforms, establishing criteria between different researchers to work on the data and present the results. Omics data allow the rapid identification and quantification of thousands of molecules in a single experiment. Genomics addresses the potential that certain genes will be expressed, proteomics addresses what genes are in fact being expressed, and metabolomics addresses what has happened in the tissue being studied. The combination of all of them gives information about the biological system.

Resources and databases
The nearly 800 terabytes of data from the ICGC/TCGA Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes project have been made available through various portals and repositories, including those at the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research, the European Molecular Biology Laboratory's European Bioinformatics Institute, and the National Center for Biotechnology Information. All data obtained from the TCGA efforts are available at the US National Cancer Institute's TARGET Data Matrix and the web portal ProteinPaint.

StarBase pan-cancer resources were created for the networks of long noncoding RNAs, microRNAs, competing endogenous RNAs and RBPs.

title: Fred Digby

text:
Frederick (Fred) Joseph Digby (January 26, 1893 – November 3, 1958), was a sportswriter based in New Orleans. He was the founding member and first general manager of the Sugar Bowl, one of the oldest college bowl games in the United States.

Biography
Digby began writing for the New Orleans Item newspaper in 1912; he was named sports editor in 1923 and served in that role until his retirement from the Item in 1947.

In 1927, Digby and Colonel James M. Thomson, publisher of the New Orleans Item, first proposed the formation of a New Year's Eve college football bowl in New Orleans. For several years, Digby pursued the idea each fall until finally the New Orleans Mid-Winter Sports Association (later the Sugar Bowl Committee) was formed on February 15, 1934. The inaugural Sugar Bowl football classic was played on January 1, 1935. The Sugar Bowl has been played annually on New Year's Day ever since.

Digby is referred to as the "Father of the Sugar Bowl" and is credited with giving the Sugar Bowl its name. He described the success of the first college football bowl in New Orleans as "a dream come true". He was a long-term member of the Sugar Bowl Committee and, after retiring as sports editor for the Item, he served as general manager of the Sugar Bowl until his death in 1958.
