title: Anne Innis Dagg

text:
Anne Christine Innis Dagg  (born 25 January 1933) is a Canadian zoologist, feminist, and author of numerous books. A pioneer in the study of animal behaviour in the wild, Dagg is credited with being the first to study wild giraffes. Her impact on current understandings of giraffe biology and behaviour were the focus of the 2011 CBC radio documentary Wild Journey: The Anne Innis Story the 2018 documentary film The Woman Who Loves Giraffes, and the 2021 children’s book ‘’The Girl Who Loved Giraffes and Became the World’s First Giraffologist’’.

In addition to her giraffe research, Dagg has published extensively about camels, primates, and Canadian wildlife, and she has raised concerns about the influence of sociobiology on how zoological research is shared with the general public. She has also researched and written extensively about gender bias in academia, drawing attention to the detrimental impact that anti-nepotism rules can have on the academic careers of the wives of male faculty members and to sexist academic work environments that fail to support female researchers.

Early life and education
Anne Christine Innis was born on 25 January 1933 in Toronto, Ontario. Her father, Harold Innis, was a professor of political economy at the University of Toronto and her mother, Mary Quayle Innis, was an author of short stories and books about history.

As a child Dagg attended Bishop Strachan School. She graduated from the University of Toronto in 1955 with a B.A. in Biology and was awarded a gold medal in recognition of her academic standing. She went on to earn a master's degree in Genetics from the University of Toronto. Following field research in Africa, Dagg began a PhD in animal behaviour at the University of Waterloo, completing her studies in 1967.

Career
Dagg has published over 60 refereed scientific papers on such subjects as homosexuality, mammal behaviour, sociobiology, feminism, sexism at universities, and the rights of animals. She has also written 20 books on related topics.  Although best known for her research on the giraffe, Dagg has studied other animals including camels, primates, and Canadian wildlife. She has taught courses in mammology and wildlife management, among other topics, as an assistant professor with the Department of Zoology at the University of Guelph from 1968 to 1972. The remainder of her career was spent affiliated with the University of Waterloo's Integrated Studies program, later renamed Independent Studies. From 1986 to 1989 she served as the Academic Director of the program before transitioning to an academic advisor role.

Dagg's interest in Canadian wildlife arose in the late 1960s while teaching a course at the University of Guelph. She was surprised to discover how little research had been done on smaller mammals and birds, in favour of research on big game species in Ontario and British Columbia such as the caribou. In 1972, she founded Otter Press in Waterloo, Ontario. The first publication was Matrix Optics by her husband Ian Dagg, followed in 1974 by her own book on Canadian wildlife, Mammals of Waterloo and South Wellington Counties, which was co-written by C. A. Campbell.

Dagg has also written about the gendered framing of animal behaviour. In 1985, she raised concerns about the impact of sociobiology in scholarly publications and reporting to the general public about the social behaviour of animals in her book Harems and Other Horrors: Sexual Bias in Behavioral Biology. Of particular concern was what she noted as an increase in the anthropomorphizing of animal behaviour such as inaccurate, human-based, language to describe animal behaviour such as female mating behaviour being described as coy or flirtatious.

In 1975, Dagg was recognized by the Museum of Natural History as part of an exhibit dedicated to their achievements in the natural sciences. Dagg was awarded the Batke Human Rights Award in 1984 by the K-W Status of Women in recognition of her work in the fields of social justice and gender equality. She received a Lane Anderson Award in 2017 in recognition of her non-fiction children's book 5 Giraffes, alongside author Caroline Fox. She donated the $10,000 prize that accompanied the award to giraffe conservation efforts. In 2019 Dagg was named an Honorary Member of the Canadian Society of Zoologists in recognition of her contributions to Canadian zoology.

Despite demonstrated academic achievement, Dagg was denied tenure at the University of Guelph in 1972 due to concerns about her qualifications. Dagg claimed she was told by the Dean that she was denied tenure, in part, because she lived outside of Guelph with her family and wasn't involved in the community. Pointing to a strong research record, support from the student body, and the barring of women from participating on campus committees, Dagg called her treatment during the tenure review process "demoralizing" and framed the future of women in academia as "bleak" given the type of discrimination they face. Her academic ability was similarly questioned at the University of Waterloo where it was suggested there was no point in pursuing a position because she had a family and a husband to support them.

Dagg's research on giraffes and her experiences in South Africa during apartheid were featured on the CBC's radio series Ideas as part of the 2011 documentary Wild Journey: The Anne Innis Story by Sandy Bourque. The documentary was heard by Alison Reid, who later directed the 2018 documentary The Woman Who Loves Giraffes, chronicling Dagg's life, career and her recognized impact on the study of giraffes. The film includes interviews with members of the tenure review committee that rejected Dagg's application. The chair of the committee, Keith Ronald, stood by the decision to deny Dagg tenure explaining that despite being a good teacher, Dagg's research program, which at the time included 20 peer-reviewed publications, "hadn't been fully developed". Fellow committee member Sandy Middleton, who also appeared in the film, disagreed, framing the rejection as a "grossly unfair" example of an old boys network at work and was likely motivated by jealousy of Dagg's early career success. Following the release of the film, the University of Guelph issued a formal apology to Dagg and established the Dr. Anne Innis Dagg Summer Research Scholarship aimed at supporting the research of undergraduate women studying zoology or biodiversity.

On December 27, 2019, the office of Canadian Governor General Julie Payette announced that Dagg had been appointed a Member of the Order of Canada.

Giraffe field research

Dagg has been referred to as "the Jane Goodall of giraffes" and is recognized as having made significant contributions to the study of giraffes. Dagg first became interested in giraffes as a young child while visiting Illinois' Brookfield Zoo with her mother.

During the mid-1950s Dagg traveled alone to South Africa to study the behavior of giraffes out of captivity. The trip was prompted by what she described in 1974 interview with the Toronto Star as a "tremendous urge to see giraffes roaming free, instead of being cooped up in zoos." She contacted government officials in various African countries requesting permission to study the animal in their natural habitat and received only rejections, some noting the work wasn't a suitable undertaking for a woman.

Ahead of the trip Dagg changed tactics by adjusting how her letters were signed. She contacted citrus farmer Alexander Matthew, who owned land near Kruger National Park in close proximity to roaming giraffes, to ask for permission to visit and study giraffes. Her request was granted based on the Matthew's assumption that the letter, signed A. Innis, was written by a man. Upon Dagg's arrival he told her she would have to return to Canada because allowing her to bunk with the male farmhands was, for him, out of the question.  Rather than returning home she travelled to Grahamstown where she spent her time researching giraffes at the Rhodes University library. She began writing to Matthew multiple times a week for several weeks asking for permission to return. He eventually agreed, allowing her to stay in his family's home in exchange for clerical services over the course of her stay. In turn, Dagg was given access to 33,000 hectors of groves and bush frequented by 95 giraffes.

Dagg spent upward of ten hours a day in the field taking extensive notes about all aspects of giraffe behaviour, including what they ate and how they interacted, and was the first to note male giraffes engaging in homosexual behaviour. In addition to her research at Fleur de Lys, she travelled to Tanganyika and Kenya to observe other giraffe populations over the course of her stay. Her research marked the first time a scientist set out to study giraffes in the wild. In 1965, due to the unique nature of her research, she was invited to appear on the American television show To Tell the Truth. Upon returning to Canada, she began PhD in animal behaviour at the University of Waterloo, which she completed in 1967 under the supervision of Anton de Vos. Her thesis work analyzed and compared the gaits of giraffe and other large mammals. Dagg's field research was eventually published in The Giraffe: Its Biology, Behavior and Ecology (1976). Co-authored with ecologist J. Bristol Foster, the book is recognized by researchers as the foundational text on giraffes.

Gender inequality in academia
During her PhD studies, Dagg attempted to secure employment as a professor, but found that at the time universities weren't inclined to hire women. Dagg's experience as a woman in academia would go on to shape her work and research interests for the remainder of her career. She has researched and published about anti-nepotism laws at academic institutions in North America arguing that they disproportionately impact the female spouses of male professors. According to Dagg, anti-nepotism rules, whether formal or unspoken, combined with a reluctance by universities to hire their own PhD students doubly hindered the wives of male faculty: "A wife often earns a Ph.D. from the local university where she is then unable to become a professor because of this opposition. Unlike many other women, she may not be free because of her marriage to seek a position at a university outside her locale, a dilemma which makes her career vulnerable to the local university's policies."

In 1974, Dagg filed a complaint with the Ontario Human Rights Commission against Wilfrid Laurier University. The complaint was in regards to the school's refusal to interview her for a position in their biology department despite 19 years experience, opting to instead hire a male professor who she claimed had less experience and fewer qualifications. Dagg requested a formal review of the complaint by Ontario's Ombudsman after the Commission found that her claims were "absolutely without foundation."

Dagg further explored the experiences of women in academia in the 1988 book MisEducation: Women & Canadian Universities, co-authored with Patricia J. Thompson. The authors pointed to a reliance on course material and textbooks reliant on gender-based stereotypes, male co-workers making sexist jokes, and lack of support or funding for women researchers as example of how conditions at Canadian universities hadn't changed much for women over time. In a Globe and Mail interview, Dagg, who at the time had published 10 books and more than 50 scholarly articles, said about the book that she hoped her lack of tenure wouldn't cost her her job.

Personal life
Dagg married Ian Ralph Dagg (1928-1993) in 1957. The ceremony took place at St. Pancras Town Hall in London, England. Ian Dagg taught at the University of Waterloo's Physics Department from 1959 to 1993, and served as chair of the department from 1988 to 1993. Together until his death, the couple had three children: Hugh, Ian and Mary.

title: Christophe Guyot

text:
Christophe Guyot is a French speed and endurance motorcycle rider, 24 Hours of Le Mans winner, Endurance World champion and French Superbike champion. Born on July 13, 1962, in Marseille, who became a teacher, he founded the GMT94 motorcycle team, from its speed racing beginnings.
He still is the team manager and to this day, remains the only rider/manager to win the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans motorbike race.

Following a third world title in Endurance (2017), and still led by Christophe Guyot, GMT94 moved up to world speed in 2018 in the Supersport class (600cc) and became runner-up in the 2019 world championship. GMT94 and Christophe Guyot enter the World Superbike Championship (1000cc) in 2023.

Christophe Guyot is also a consultant for the Eurosport television channel.

Biography
Graduated as a teacher in 1984, Christophe Guyot taught until 1990. It was in 1989 that he started motorcycle racing in the 350cc Promosport category on a Yamaha RDLC. He created the Guyot Motorcycle Team (GMT) in 1991 and later became the president of the GMT94 association, affiliated to the FFM.

Christophe Guyot was also the representative of the riders from 1994 to 2004. He was then a member of the Executive Committee of the French Federation of Motorcycling (term of office 2004-2008 and 2012-2016).

He has always worn number 94, the symbol of a French department and with which it carries out projects for young people, road safety and the most penniless.

GMT94 is the official Yamaha team in the EWC (Endurance World Championship) until 2018. The team won 3 endurance world championship titles, 3 victories in the 24 Hours Motos and 2 victories in the Bol d'Or. It is also a four-time French Superbike champion.

In 2018, Christophe Guyot decided to enter the World Supersport Championship in Supersport (600 cm3). 26 podiums and 7 victories later, Christophe took the GMT94 to the Superbike championship (1000 cm3). Today it is the official Yamaha team in the Supersport World Championship.

The rider years
Christophe Guyot started motorcycle racing in 1989, at the age of 26.

For his first season of speed, in the Promosport 350 and behind the handlebars of a Yamaha RD 350 LC, he won two races and finished on the rostrum three times.

This year 1989 is a change in Christophe Guyot's life. Until then a teacher, he decided to leave school to concentrate on his passion: motorcycling. In 1990, he moved in the upper class and ride in Promosport 750, a category in which he won three victories. The following season, in 1991, Christophe Guyot decided to found his own team, GMT94 for Guyot Motorcycle Team, 94 being the French department number of Val-de-Marne. He raced for three seasons in the Superbike World Championship, accumulating a total of 16 races throughout the 1991, 1992 and 1993 seasons.

After three years of travelling the world, Christophe Guyot decided to return to France successfully since he won the title of French Superbike champion in 1998. He is still the only "private" rider to have won the championship in the top French speed category. The following year, he decided to devote himself exclusively to the Endurance World Championship.

From the very first races, the results were convincing: first podium (Portugal), first pole position in the world championship (Germany), and the title of runner-up world champion. The following year saw GMT94's first victory at the 24-hour race in Oschersleben (2000), Germany. The highlight came in 2001 with victory in the famous 24 Hours Motos.
To date, Christophe Guyot remains the only rider/manager to have won this legendary event. The Val de Marnaise team, still ridden by Christophe Guyot, Sébastien Scarnato and Nicolas Dussauge, will be looking forward to another victory at the 6 Hours of Nurburgring (Germany). In 2002, Christophe Guyot won the 8 Hours of Brno, Czech Republic.

Finally, during the 2004 season, he won the 8 Hours of Zhuhai (China) with David Checa and William Costes, and became Endurance. Christophe Guyot offered Yamaha his first title in World Endurance Championship. The following season, Christophe Guyot announced that he will stop his rider career to devote himself to new projects, still with GMT94. However, he remained a substitute until 2007 and competed again in a race in 2011, where he won, with his rider David Checa, the 5 Hours of Circuit Carole (Trophée Grégory Lemarchal).

Team-Manager
Christophe Guyot held this position long before his retirement from sport. Having had a remarkable 2004 season, Yamaha decided to provide "official" support to GMT94. It was in 2018 that he decided to partially enter the Supersport World Championship with Mike Di Meglio then with a young rider: Corentin Perolari. Afterwards, GMT94 ends its commitment to Endurance in order to devote itself fully to the Supersport World Championship. Thus, in 2019 and at the end of a successful season, GMT94 became runner-up in Supersport with Jules Cluzel and Corentin Perolari. The team's development doesn't stop there, as it continues its ascent in the World Superbike Championship in 2023 with Italian rider Lorenzo Baldassarri, renowned for his years in Moto2 and his runner-up spot in the World Supersport Championship in 2022.

Consultant
Since his retirement from sport, Christophe Guyot has been involved in a wide range of activities. In addition to his role as team manager, he is also a consultant for the Eurosport television channel on the Superbike World Championship (WSBK), Endurance and British Superbike. Between 2012 and 2018, when the channel then owns the broadcasting rights for MotoGP, he also delivered his analysis during the Dimanche Méca and Warm-up shows with Guenaelle Longy, Christophe Malbranque and Lionel Rosso. Since 2019, Christophe Guyot has been a consultant for the Motorcycle Endurance World e Championship (EWC) alongside Gilles della Posta, Rémy Tissier and Romain Hussonnois.

Christophe Guyot is also involved with the Mutuelle des Motards in projects aimed at youth and has a role as a trainer of riders for Yamaha, a manufacturer to which he is loyal.

Every year, Christophe Guyot supervises riding lessons with Circuit Carole.

title: African-American names

text:
African American names are an integral part of African American tradition. While many black Americans use names that are popular with wider American culture, a number of specific naming trends have emerged within African American culture.

History

Black slaves remained nameless from the time of their capture until they were purchased by white American slaveholders.

It is widely held that prior to the 1950s and 1960s, most African-American names closely resembled those used within European-American culture. Even within the White-American population, a few very common names were given to babies of that era, with nicknames often used to distinguish among various people with the same name. It was also quite common for immigrants and cultural minorities to choose baby names or change their names to fit in within the wider American culture. This applied to both given names and surnames.

Recent research by economic historians Lisa D. Cook, John Parman and Trevon Logan has found that distinctive African-American naming practices happened as early as in the Antebellum period. However, those early names are no longer used by Black people.

Paustian has argued that black names display the same themes and patterns as those in West Africa.

With the rise of the 1960s Civil Rights Movement and the wider counterculture of the 1960s, there was a dramatic rise in African-American names of various origins. San Diego State University professor Jean Twenge believes that the shift toward unique black-American baby names is also the result of the cultural shift in America that values individuality over conformity.

In 2004, Fryer et al. examined the rapid change in naming practices in the early 1970s, with the rapid adoption of distinctively black names, especially in low-income, racially isolated neighborhoods. They favor an explanatory model which attributes a change in black perceptions of their identity to the Black Power Movement.

Influences and conventions
Lieberson and Mikelson of Harvard University analyzed black names, finding that the recent innovative naming practices follow American linguistic conventions even if they are independent of organizations or institutions. Given names used by African-American people are often invented or creatively-spelled variants of more traditional names. Some names are created using fashionable syllables, for example the prefixes La- or De- and the suffixes -ique or -isha. Also, punctuation marks like apostrophes and dashes are sometimes used (though infrequently).

French names
While creoles of color historically had classical French names, many names of French origin entered the picture during the 1950s and 1960s. Opinions on the origins of the French influence vary, but historically French names such as Monique, Chantal,  André, and Antoine became so common within African-American culture that many Americans began to think of them solely as "black names". These names are often seen with spelling variations such as Antwan, Antwaun or Antwon (Antoine) or Shauntelle (Chantal).

Afrocentric and inventive names

The Afrocentrism movement that grew in popularity during the 1970s saw the advent of African names among African-Americans, as well as names imagined to be African sounding. Names such as Ashanti have African origins. The Black Power movement inspired many to show pride in their heritage. Harvard University sociologist Stanley Lieberson noted that in 1977, the name "Kizzy" rose dramatically in popularity following the use of the name in the book and television series Roots.

By the 1970s and 1980s, it had become common within African-American culture to invent new names. Many of the invented names took elements from popular existing names. Prefixes such as La/Le, Da/De, Ra/Re, or Ja/Je and suffixes such as -ique/iqua, -isha (for girls), -ari and -aun/awn (for boys) are common, as well as inventive spellings for common names. The book Baby Names Now: From Classic to Cool—The Very Last Word on First Names places the origins of "La" names in African-American culture in New Orleans. The name LaKeisha is typically considered American in origin but has elements drawn from both African and French roots.

Apostrophes are seen more often within African-American names than other American names, such as the names Mo'nique and D'Andre.

In his dictionary of black names, Cenoura asserts that in the early 21st century, black names are "unique names that come from combinations of two or more names, names constructed with common prefixes and suffixes...'conjugated' with a formula..." "Da", "La", and related sounds may originate from the French spoken in Louisiana. Attached to a common name such as Seán and spelled phonetically, one obtains "DaShawn". Diminutive suffixes from French, Spanish and Scottish such as "ita" may be combined directly with prefixes or to a name, as is often found in white naming or nicknaming. Conventions followed usually make the person's gender easily identifiable. Following Spanish, masculine names often end in "o", e.g. "Carmello", while feminine names end with "a", e.g. "Jeretta". Following Irish, French and Italian, apostrophes may be used, e.g. "D'Andre" and "Rene'e". Parents' names may be blended, e.g. the son of "Raymond" and "Yvonne" might be named "Rayvon".

Muslim names

Islam has been an influence upon African-American names. Islamic names entered African-American culture with the rise of the Nation of Islam among black Americans with its focus upon black advocacy. The popular names Aisha, Aaliyah, and others are also examples of names derived from Islam.

A number of African-American celebrities began adopting Muslim names, including Muhammad Ali, who changed his name in 1964 from Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr. Other celebrities adopting Muslim names include Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (formerly Lew Alcindor) and Amiri Baraka (formerly LeRoi Jones). Despite the Muslim origin of these names and the place of the Nation of Islam in the Civil Rights Movement, many Muslim names such as Jamal and Malik entered popular usage among black Americans simply because they were fashionable, and many Islamic names are now commonly used by African Americans regardless of religion.

European and Biblical names
Even with the rise of created names, it is also still common for African Americans to use biblical, historic, or European names. Daniel, Christopher, Michael, David, James, Joseph, and Matthew were among the most common names for African-American boys in 2013.

Workplace discrimination
In recent years it has become evident that workplace discrimination exists on the basis of names. A study in the early 2020s concluded that applicants with traditionally “Black names” have 2.1% less chance of getting a call back after an interview. Studies done at the University of Chicago and the University of California Berkeley in which over 83,000 entry-level job applications were submitted and results showed that 7% of all jobs in the experiment were prejudiced against traditionally "Black names." This research concludes that candidates with more "ethnically-sounding" names were less likely to get a call back.

title: Georg Jauss

text:
Georg Jauss (15 March 1867, in Hattenhofen – 6 March 1922, in Munich) was a German landscape painter who worked in Bavaria.

Life
Jauss was the eldest of six children born to Anna Maria and Leonhard Jauss (a mason and farmer). From 1873 to 1880, he attended the elementary school in Hattenhofen, where the Pastor discovered that he had talent for drawing and arranged for him to take lessons at Göppingen. In 1883, he became a fellow at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Stuttgart. Jakob Grünenwald was one of his instructors; his fellow students included Christian Landenberger and Bernhard Buttersack.

He took a study trip to Italy in the summer of 1890 and, after his military service, went to the Dachau District where his interests changed from genre painting to landscapes. In 1895, he became a teacher at the Munich Association of Women Artists and joined the Munich Secession but, only four years later, resigned Association and disassociated himself from the Secession. From 1906 to 1913, he was a member of the Luitpold Group, an association of slightly modernist tendencies that promoted high-quality art, then he returned to the Secession.

He was married twice and had two children. In 1919, he became a naturalized citizen of Bavaria. He died of a stroke and is buried in the Old North Cemetery, Munich.

title: Florence v. Shurtleff

text:
Florence v. Shurtleff, Civil No. 2:05CV000485 (D. Utah 2012), was a case in which the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah issued an order stating that individuals could not be prosecuted for posting adult content that was constitutionally protected on general access websites, nor could they be civilly liable for failing to prevent access to adult content, so long as the material is identifiable by filtering software. The order was the result of a 2005 lawsuit, The King's English v. Shurtleff, brought by Utah bookstores, artists, Internet Service Providers and the other organizations challenging the constitutionality of certain portions of a Utah law intended to protect minors from adult content.

Background

Facts

In March 2005, House Bill 260, amending and adding to the Utah Harmful to Minors Act, was passed by the Utah legislature and signed into law by Governor Jon Huntsman. The bill sought to "address pornographic material and material harmful to minors." Among other provisions, the bill required the Utah Attorney General to maintain an "adult content registry" of internet websites that contained material deemed "harmful to minors." The bill correspondingly required Internet service providers ("ISPs") to block access or provide filtering software for these websites. It also stated that Utah ISPs must properly label or block their content, with criminal and civil penalties on those who failed to do so.

In response to the Bill, an umbrella of organizations including Utah based bookstores, Internet Service Providers, the ACLU of Utah, Media Coalition and the Center for Democracy & Technology filed a federal lawsuit on June 9, 2005. The suit challenged the constitutionality of the bill under the First, Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, as well as the Commerce Clause. This lawsuit was originally known as The King's English v. Shurtleff for a Utah bookshop named as plaintiffs in the lawsuit.

Procedural Posture

U.S. District Court Judge Dee Benson granted a preliminary injunction preventing enforcement of the law on August 25, 2006.

In response to the State of Utah's motion to dismiss for lack of standing, Judge Benson ruled on plaintiff's legal standing on November 29, 2007, finding that while the majority of the plaintiffs had standing, The King's English bookstore and other similar organizations did not. The judge denied plaintiff's motion for reconsideration, and the case was subsequently captioned as "Nathan Florence v. Shurtleff," now named for Florence, who was a Utah painter who depicted nudes in some of his works.

Plaintiffs filed a motion for summary judgment on June 8, 2011, seeking to enforce the injunction against HB 260 on a permanent basis. The State of Utah responded on July 29, 2011, with a combined brief opposing plaintiff's motion for summary judgment, and supporting its own motion for summary judgment and motion to dismiss for lack of standing.

The judge heard arguments on plaintiff's motion to dismiss on April 12, 2012.

On May 17, 2012, Judge Benson issued an order and declaratory judgment ruling that individuals and service providers could not be prosecuted under Section 1206 of the bill for making constitutionally protected adult content available on general access websites, and could not be subject to civil or criminal penalties under Section 1233 for failing to filter or block access to this content.

Complaint

Plaintiffs filed their lawsuit on June 9, 2005, citing concerns of censorship, free speech and violations of the Commerce Clause. The Complaint challenged most of the act, apart from Sections 1 and 3. It specifically identified 5 provisions of the Act, which were challenged on constitutional bases:

 Section 5 of the Act, which sought to extend the existing Utah law on materials harmful to minors (Utah Code § 76-10-1206) to Internet content providers and ISPs.
 Section 9, or the Mandatory Labeling provision, which stated that Utah-based content providers were required to label their content, and imposed criminal penalties for failing to do so.
 Section 2, which mandated the creation of an "adult content registry" by Attorney General Shurtleff, consisting of a list of websites that he identified as containing material "harmful to minors." Section 8, which correspondingly required ISPs to block access to websites that were listed in the registry.
 Section 4, which required ISPs to block or restrict access to "pornographic material" as determined by their customers.
 Section 7, which broadly required ISPs to restrict access to material "harmful to minors."

The plaintiffs argued that due to the "technical realities" of the Internet, it would be difficult for large ISPs to restrict access for one set of customers, and would instead result in restricting access across the network, and to non-requesting customers as well. The complaint also cited various cases in which courts in Michigan, New York, Arizona, and other states had struck down laws applying criminal penalties for "distributing harmful materials to minors" to the internet as unconstitutional,  including the  United States Supreme Court case Reno v. American Civil Liberties Union which struck down a federal version of the law on First Amendment Grounds. It identified a Pennsylvania state case, Center for Democracy & Technology v. Pappert where the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania struck down a state law requiring ISPs to restrict access to specific websites, on First Amendment and Commerce Clause claims. The complaint also contained declarations from various organizations and individuals, including The King's English bookstore, Nathan Florence and the ACLU of Utah explaining the adverse impact of the law on their business.

Constitutional Claims

Plaintiffs identified 8 causes of action in the complaint:

Count 1 - Violation of Adults' Rights under the First Amendment and Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution: Stated that the law was unconstitutional "on its face" as it imposed unfair restrictions and burdens upon constitutionally protected speech between adults.
Count 2 - Violation of Minors' Rights Under the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution: Stated that the law prevented minors from lawfully accessing content that was protected by the First Amendment.
Count 3 - Prior Restraint: Stated that the law deprived Plaintiffs of their ability to access and publish content to the Internet that was protected by the First Amendment.
Count 4 - Inadequate Procedures: Stated that the law did not provide ISPs and other organizations with adequate procedural protections under the Fourteenth Amendment.
Count 5 - Violation of the Right to Communicate and Access Information Anonymously Under the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution: Stated that in requiring users to identify themselves as adults in order to access protected content, the Act violated users' rights to anonymity under the First and Fourteenth Amendments.
Count 6 - Compelled Speech: Stated that Section 9 compelled Utah based content providers to label their speech as "adult content" in violation of the First Amendment.
Count 7 - Violation of the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution: Stated that the Act violated the interstate commerce provision of the Commerce Clause, as it subjected ISPs to "inconsistent regulations" that impacted out of state users.

Under their prayer for relief, plaintiffs sought a preliminary as well as permanent injunction against the State from enforcing the enumerated provisions, due to their constitutional violations, and the fact that under strict scrutiny the infringement of plaintiffs' First and Fourteenth Amendment rights were not justified by a compelling government purpose.

State's Response

The State of Utah, in response, argued that the law was vital to apprehend sexual predators, citing the use of Internet chatrooms and other websites. It stated that the law was designed to aid its longstanding Internet Crimes Against Children taskforce. It also stated that since the law applied in large part to ISPs, bookstores and individuals did not have standing to challenge the law. The State sought to differentiate HB 260 from the law at issue in Reno v. ACLU, arguing that this law was narrower, as it explicitly identified "harmful websites" through the tagging system in the adult content registry. This process, according to the State, was designed to facilitate ISPs in their blocking and filtering processes, by giving them a defined field.

Defendants stated that the requirement for ISPs to provide their customers with filtering mechanisms for "pornographic materials" was the most effective means of preventing minors from accessing pornography on the internet. Utah further argued that the filtering requirement ensured that the law was narrowly tailored in order to achieve a "compelling government interest."

The State cited cases such as Sable Communications of California v. FCC and Ginsberg v. New York to argue that the law would withstand strict scrutiny, as states had a compelling interest in "protecting the physical and psychological well-being of minors" and were therefore permitted to "regulate material that is indecent with respect to minors."

Declaratory Judgment

Judge Dee Benson issued an order and declaratory judgment on May 15, 2012. The judge held that individuals and organizations could not be prosecuted under Section 1206 for posting constitutionally protected content on general access websites, and that they were not subject to criminal and civil penalties under Section 1233 for a failure to label, or restrict access to their material. Around this time, Plaintiffs worked with Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff on the implementation and enforcement of the law.

Impact

The case was hailed as a "crucial victory for free speech," by the Media Coalition, while the ACLU stated that this order "...removes the cloud cast over internet speech that Utah's broadly worded statute had created," and the Center for Democracy and Technology stated that the judgment brought "...Utah law into line with 15 years of legal precedent protecting the constitutional rights of adults to access lawful content online."

title: M'hamed Ababou

text:
M'hamed Ababou  (; 1938 – 10 July 1971) was a senior Moroccan Army officer. Along with General Mohamed Medbouh he instigated an attempted coup against king Hassan II on 10 July 1971.

M'hamed Ababou was the director of the Ahermoumou military non-commissioned officer training school. Acting under his orders, about 1,200 cadets from the school seized the Royal summer palace at Skhirat where a diplomatic function was being held to celebrate the King's forty-second birthday. Foreign and Moroccan VIPs were held under guard or fled along the nearby seafront. Approximately 100 guests, officials, servants and cadets were reported killed under confused circumstances. It was to be subsequently claimed that the young cadets had been told by Ababou and other officers that they were acting to protect King Hassan against rebels. Initially the only loyalist troops present at the palace were ceremonial guards and the king took refuge in a pavilion annex.

Ababou was killed on the day of the coup during an exchange of fire with royal troops led by General Bouhali, who had been dispatched to the palace to rescue the king. It is reported that Ababou was only wounded in this clash but had asked a fellow conspirator to shoot him so that he would not be taken alive.

M'hamed Ababou had two brothers in the military; Mohamed (his elder by 4 years) with whom he co-organized the attempted coup and who would die in detention in 1976; and  Chief Sergeant Abdelziz Ababou (his younger brother) who died during the coup itself.

title: Hell of a Night (Schoolboy Q song)

text:
"Hell of a Night" (stylized as "Hell of a NigHt") is a song by American hip hop recording artist Schoolboy Q, taken from his major label debut studio album Oxymoron (2014). The track, which features production by two American record producers DJ Dahi, and JayFrance was serviced to urban contemporary radio as the fourth and final official single from Oxymoron on October 21, 2014. It was met with generally positive reviews from music critics.

Background
The song first surfaced in unmastered form during the 2013 NBA Playoffs and was confirmed to be leaked by the NBA (according to Schoolboy Q himself). He stated that the song was unfinished and that it would be tagged with "Mixed By Ali" when it was ready.

Critical reception
"Hell of a Night" was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. Jason Lipshutz of Billboard stated, "Hell of a Night" "features some of Schoolboy Q's slinkiest rhymes about fast-living and hypnotizing women. With an spooky harmony floating in the background and a drum machine snapping Q's syllables shut, "Hell Of A Night" is the album's non-single with the most potential to become a hit." Maya Kalev writing for Fact said the song, "is a twisted banger, but the predicted drop never materialises, and the effect is weirdly disorienting as Q’s rapid-fire raps cut through oohing vocal samples." Craig Jenkins of Pitchfork Media said the song, "showcases a trap-house hybrid from DJ Dahi and Q cuts loose, partying hard because he’s lived hard enough to deserve it" Julia Leconte of Now praised JayFrance and DJ Dahi's production. Nathan S of DJBooth said, "you’ll levy some criticism at "Hell of a Night", although there’s some real grit in the verses surrounding that club anthem hook and bridge."

Brandon Soderberg of Spin said, the song was "a party track begging for a Zedd remix that flirts with EDM histrionics, but perversely denies us the true dance-floor climax it suggests." Andrew Spragg of The Quietus stated that the song was forgettable. Aziz of Sputnikmusic said the song "exudes gleaming catchiness – the ad-libbing on its final verse makes it one of the most enjoyable on the album – its hook is unbearably corny." Joe Sweeney of Slant Magazine called the song a "languid dance-crossover" that drags the album down. Omar Burgess of HipHopDX referred to the song as album filler. Sam Kriss of TheLineOfBestFit said, ""Hell of a Night" is a perfectly acceptable trap banger, full of richly throbbing bass and slick hi-hat rolls, but it’s a sadly formulaic break from the more compelling stuff elsewhere" on the album.

Music video
The official music video was released November 7, 2014 shortly after the track was sent to radio. The video features Schoolboy Q in a wild house party

Legacy
"Hell of a Night" went on to be featured in season 1 of USA Network show, Mr. Robot.

title: Christopher Calthorpe

text:
Sir Christopher Calthorpe KB (c. 1645 – 7 February 1718) was an English Member of Parliament.

Early life and education
Calthorpe was born into a rich Norfolk family which had held manorial property in East Anglia since 1376 and had first represented the county in Parliament under Henry VI. His father was a Parliamentary sympathiser in the Civil War and had held local office under the Commonwealth. His mother, Catherine, was the daughter of Sir Edward Lewkenor of Denham. Calthorpe was educated at Christ's College, Cambridge, followed by Middle Temple in 1660. He was invested as a Knight of the Order of the Bath on 23 April 1661.

Political career
Calthorpe joined the Norfolk Tory political faction headed by Robert Paston, 1st Earl of Yarmouth, which secured his election to the House of Commons in February 1679, representing Norfolk. However, the legitimacy of his election was challenged by his political rivals, and a by-election was held in May the same year. It was won by the Whig candidate, Sir John Hobart, 3rd Baronet. In 1688, Calthorpe bluntly declared that he could not give his assent to the repeal of the Test Act and Penal Laws, and he was removed from local office as a Justice of the Peace. A non-juror after the Glorious Revolution, he was disarmed in September 1689 at the behest of his rival, Sir Henry Hobart, and in the following summer he was placed in confinement as a person ‘suspected to be dangerous to the peace of the kingdom’. Hobart again had him arrested after the Jacobite assassination plot 1696. He died in 1718.

Personal life
He married Dorothy, the youngest daughter of Sir William Spring, 1st Baronet, in 1664, with whom he had five sons and nine daughters.

title: Ponte Umberto I

text:
Ponte Umberto I, also known as Ponte Umberto, is a bridge that links Piazza di Ponte Umberto I to Piazza dei Tribunali in Rome (Italy), in the rioni Ponte and Prati.

Description
The bridge was designed by architect Angelo Vescovali and built between 1885 and 1895; it was dedicated to Umberto I, King of Italy, who inaugurated the bridge together with his consort Margherita of Savoy. The bridge links the Palace of Justice (popularly known as Palazzaccio) to the area surrounding Piazza Navona.

It is made of three masonry arches covered with travertine and stone of Subiaco and is about 105 m (344 ft) long.

The bridge carries a road with 2 lanes in each direction. Unusually for a road in Italy, this road drives on the left. (Ponte Palatino also has left hand side traffic.) To prevent collisions, there is a raised section with a fence in the middle of the road.

In 2013, Seidman taught actor Johnny Knoxville magic tricks for his role in Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa, an Academy Award nominated hidden-camera comedy film written by Spike Jonze, Johnny Knoxville, and Jeff Tremaine. Seidman taught Knoxville a number of tricks and gags for the film, most notably, how to pull flowers out of his pants.

title: Nidaliidae

text:
Nidaliidae is a family of soft corals in the phylum Cnidaria. Some members of this family are similar in appearance to gorgonians (sea fans). They are difficult to keep in the reef aquarium because they do not contain symbiotic zooxanthellae and therefore need to be fed on zooplankton. Others, in the genera Agaricoidea, Nidalla and  Pieterfaurea, more resemble members of the family Nephtheidae and these are somewhat easier to keep in the aquarium.

Genera
The World Register of Marine Species includes the following genera in the family:

Agaricoides Simpson, 1905
Chironephthya Studer, 1887
Nephthyigorgia Kükenthal, 1910
Nidalia Gray, 1834
Nidaliopsis Kükenthal, 1906
Orlikia Malyutin, 1993
Siphonogorgia Kölliker, 1874

title: Natalie Smith Henry

text:
Natalie Smith Henry (January 4, 1907 – February 20, 1992) was an American artist who worked mostly in Chicago. She is best known for her Depression-era post office murals commissioned by the United States Department of the Treasury.

Early life and education
Natalie Smith Henry was the first of five children born to Natalie Smith and Samuel Ewell Henry, a circuit clerk and Hot Spring County judge. Henry’s interest in art first began at age twelve following the death of her mother. Although her interest began as a creative way to channel her grief, at age fifteen Henry began formally studying illustration at the International Correspondence Schools of Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Following her graduation from Malvern High School in 1925, Henry attended Galloway College before moving to Illinois in 1928 to attend the prestigious School of the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1937, after taking classes part-time for several years, Henry finally earned a four-year degree from the Hubert Ropp School of Art. Henry paid her school tuition by serving as Ropp's recordkeeper and working part-time as a typist at the Ryerson Library from 1931 to 1942.

Career

Henry first began displaying her work at a national level in 1935, when she exhibited Picnic at the Annual Exhibition of Artists of Chicago and Vicinity. The following year, Man with Shells was shown alongside the work of notable European and American artists Wassily Kandinsky, Edward Hopper, and Wood.

In addition to her part-time work as an artist, Henry also contributed to the Federal Art Project of the Works Project Administration by producing murals for private clients. In 1939 the Section of Painting and Sculpture of the United States Department of the Treasury commissioned her to paint a mural for the Springdale, Arkansas Post Office. This mural, titled Local Industries, was well received by those suffering from the effects of the Great Depression.

In 1944, Henry joined the Chicago Society of Artists and annually submitted work there until 1987. Throughout her career, her work was exhibited in galleries throughout Chicago, including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Chicago Society of Artists, the Chicago Women's Salon, and The Renaissance Society.

Despite her artistic success, the unmarried Henry still struggled financially. After several years of part-time secretarial positions, Henry worked for Office of Price Administration–Rent Division from 1942 to 1943. After working in commercial art from 1943 to 1948, Henry became the manager of the Art Institute of Chicago School Store, a position she held until 1972. During her time as manager, Henry also earned money by designing woodblocks and making greeting cards for the Chicago Society of Artists.

For many years Henry shared an apartment with Rowena Fry at the Lambert Tree Studios building, and Henry depicted her in the watercolor Rowena Washing Her Hair sometime during the 1930s.

Death and legacy
Henry returned to her hometown of Malvern, Arkansas in 1985 and remained there until her death in 1992. Fry came to live with her in 1989, dying the next year. Currently, her works are held in the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. and the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History in Springdale, Arkansas.

title: Schleicher K 10

text:
The Schleicher K 10 is a Standard class competition glider, designed by Rudolf Kaiser and built in Germany in 1963. Only a few were produced.

Design and development
The K 10 is a cantilever shoulder wing glider with a single spar wing built from pine and plywood. Its covering is mostly fabric but glass fibre is used in places where the surface has double curvature. Airfoils by Professor Franz Wortmann replaced the NACA 63 series profiles of the successful Schleicher Ka 6 with the intention of producing higher speeds. The leading edge is straight and unswept, but a swept trailing edge produces a forward sweep at quarter chord of 1.2°. There is 3° of dihedral. The taper increases slightly on the outer wing panels, where ply covered ailerons are hinged on the upper wing surfaces. Schempp-Hirth airbrakes are fitted inboard.

Its fuselage is a ply shell formed around wooden bulkheads and stringers and again GRP is used for areas with double curvature.  The cockpit is enclosed by a moulded Perspex canopy. The tail surfaces are straight tapered and built in the same way as the wings. It has all-moving elevators mounted on the fin at the top of the fuselage, far enough forward that only a small cut out was required for movement of the fabric covered rudder, which extends down to the keel.  The K 10 has a fixed, semi-recessed monowheel undercarriage assisted by a tail skid.

The K 10 made its first flight in August 1963. The Wortmann profiles did improve high speed performance but the K 10 lost the excellent low-speed handling characteristics of the Ka 6, so only twelve K 10s were built and Kaiser's attention turned to producing an improved Ka 6, the Ka 6E, which adopted the all-moving tailplane of the K 10 but used the earlier NACA airfoils. Three K 10s remained on the German civil aircraft register in 2010.  A Swiss registered K 10 crashed fatally in 1999.

title: Norbert Klassen

text:
Norbert Klassen (born 30 May 1941 in Duisburg, Germany; died 1 December 2011 in Bern, Switzerland), was an actor, stage director, influential performance artist, educator and organizer of performance art festivals. He has lived and worked in Bern, and contributed significantly to making the city important for the contemporary performance art scene.

Life and work
Klassen trained acting at the Westphalian School of Acting in Bochum. His first engagement in the years 1963/64 was as a theatre actor at the Theater Aachen. He had since been active as an actor and stage director, among others at Studio am Montag, Bern; Bern Theatre; Komödie Düsseldorf; Kammerspiele Düsseldorf.
He maintained links to the theatre world throughout his career, but his work received more acceptance within the performance art circuit, and Klassen identified himself primarily as a performance artist. He was inspired by Fluxus and Living Theatre. In his first performance, My Red Brother, Klassen sat at a table holding a cigarette and watching the smoke rise, an action that he repeated in his performances through the years.

Klassen had a black star tattooed on this bald head. The tattoo was result of a performance in homage to John Cage and Marcel Duchamp. This performance consisted in the action of the artist having his head tattooed inside a train station in 2008.

Klassen's work had been influenced by a multitude of co-operations with international artists from the backgrounds of acting, music, visual art and intermedia. He participated in numerous events by the international performance art network around the world.

Together with Gerhard Johann Lischka, Peter J. Betts, Rudolf Bober and others, Klassen founded the independent theatre collective Studio am Montag for experimental theatre in Bern in 1970, and run it in the position of director from 1971-87. The collective presented its productions in Switzerland, Germany and Austria. Their activities were funded by the City of Bern.

In 1979/80, Klassen lived for one year in New York City.

Between 1980 and 1997, Klassen held a teaching position at the Schauspielschule am Konservatorium für Musik und Theater Bern, and from 1987 to 1995 he taught at the F+F School for Art and Media Design Zurich.

In 1987, Studio am Montag transformed into STOP Performance Theater (STOP.P.T.). On this occasion, Klassen announced the „death of theatre“, and postulated performance art as the only adequate artistic succession.

In 1992, Klassen received the Sisyphus-Prize awarded by the City of Bern. He returned the prize in 1995 as a protest against the drastic reduction of city subventions for the STOP Performance Theater (STOP.P.T.).

Since 1998, Klassen had been organising the BONE Festival für Aktionskunst at the Schlachthaus Theatre in Bern.

After Klassen's death in December 2011, the performance collective Black Market International (BMI) had been bequeathed with Klassen's urn.

title: Lungotevere Vaticano

text:
Lungotevere Vaticano is the stretch of Lungotevere that links Ponte Sant'Angelo to Ponte Vittorio Emanuele II, in Rome (Italy), in the rione Borgo.

The Lungotevere takes its name from the hill housing St. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican City; it was established as per resolution dated July 20, 1887.

On the Lungotevere lies the Church of Santa Maria Annunziata in Borgo (known as Annunziatina), formerly in Borgo Santo Spirito, then demolished during the construction of Via della Conciliazione and re-built in 1950 at the corner with Via San Pio X. The façade dates back to the 8th century and is attributed to Pietro Passalacqua. Its interior houses works of art from the little church of San Michele Arcangelo al Corridore in Borgo Sant'Angelo, now demolished.

title: Richard Hugh Stotherd

text:
Richard Hugh Stotherd  (1828–1895) was a British Army officer, a major-general in the Royal Engineers and the director-general of the Ordnance Survey of the United Kingdom,

Life
The son of General Richard J. Stotherd (1796–1879), colonel commandant Royal Engineers, by his first wife, Elizabeth Sydney (died 1853), daughter of Hugh Boyle, of Dungiven, County Londonderry, he was born at Angler Castle, County Tyrone, on 25 November 1828. His father, who came of a Lincolnshire family, worked on the Ordnance Survey of Ireland, and was promoted general 19 June 1872.

Educated at University College school, and at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, Stotherd received a commission as second lieutenant in the Royal Engineers on 2 May 1847, and first lieutenant on 28 October. He went through the usual course of professional study at Chatham, and then served at Woolwich and at Gibraltar. On his return home he was posted to the Ordnance Survey of Great Britain and sent to Dumfries. He was promoted to be second captain on 21 May 1855, and first captain on 17 May 1860.

Leaving the Ordnance Survey in 1861, Stotherd went to Weymouth, and then, at time of the Trent affair, to North America, where he acted as brigade major and assistant to the commanding Royal Engineer, serving four years in Canada and New Brunswick.

On Stotherd's return to England on 13 February 1866 he was appointed instructor in electricity, chemistry, and photography at the school of military engineering at Chatham. There he was an early investigator of the application of electricity to mining and naval mines, and he also organised the first field telegraph. He was sent to the 1867 Paris Exhibition to report on military telegraphs. In 1868 Prince Arthur was under his instruction. While at Chatham, Stotherd advocated Morse code for army signalling. He was promoted to be brevet major on 22 November 1870, regimental major on 5 July 1872, and regimental lieutenant-colonel on 3 August 1872.

In 1871 Stotherd accompanied Colonel Charles Cornwallis Chesney to report on the Franco-Prussian war, the siege of Paris and the operations against the Paris Commune. In April 1873 he was appointed to the War Office in London, to advise on the subject of submarine mines and of military telegraphs. He was from 1873 to 1876 president of the first war office torpedo committee. In 1876 Stotherd was appointed commanding Royal Engineer of the Belfast military district, where he remained for five years. He was promoted to be brevet colonel on 3 August 1877, and regimental colonel on 26 April 1882. In September 1881 he was appointed to the charge of the Ordnance Survey in Ireland, residing at the Mountjoy Barracks, Phoenix Park, Dublin. After the assassination of Lord Frederick Cavendish, Stotherd acted as a military justice of the peace for the city of Dublin, in charge of troops in aid of the civil power.

On 1 April 1883 Stotherd was appointed director-general of the Ordnance Survey of the United Kingdom, and went to its headquarters at Southampton. The staff had grown under his predecessor, Lieutenant-General Anthony Charles Cooke. A parliamentary select committee of 1878 had recommended that the original large-scale surveys should be completed in 1890, instead of 1900. Stotherd urged a systematic revision on the government. In 1884 he saw to maps for the Redistribution of Seats Bill, and was officially thanked by being made CB

On 25 November 1886 Stotherd was compelled by the age rule to retire from the army and from his appointment, receiving the honorary rank of major-general. He died suddenly, from heart disease, on 1 May 1895 at Camberley, Surrey, where he resided.

Works
Stotherd contributed articles to The Professional Papers of the Corps of Royal Engineers, vols. xvii. and xviii., and was the author of the first text-book published in England on its subject, Notes on Defence by Submarine Mines, Brompton, Kent; the second edition was dated 1873.

Family
Stotherd was first married on 11 June 1861, at St. George's, Hanover Square, London, to Caroline Frances Wood (died 17 February 1872), by whom he had a large family; and secondly, on 29 September 1875, at Edinburgh, Elizabeth Janet Melville, who survived him.
His eldest son Major Sydney Boyle Stotherd (1862-19/10/1915) died of wounds in France
Another son Lt. Col. Edward A W Stotherd b:c. 1864 in Canada also fought in WW1. He died aged 75 in 1939

title: Odd-chain fatty acid

text:
Odd-chain fatty acids are those fatty acids that contain an odd number of carbon atoms. In addition to being classified according to their saturation or unsaturation, fatty acids are also classified according to their odd or even numbers of constituent carbon atoms. With respect to natural abundance, most fatty acids are even chain, e.g. palmitic (C16) and stearic (C18). In terms of physical properties, odd and even fatty acids are similar, generally being colorless, soluble in alcohols, and often somewhat oily.  The odd-chain fatty acids are biosynthesized and metabolized slightly differently from the even-chained relatives.  In addition to the usual C12-C22 long chain fatty acids, some very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) are also known.  Some of these VLCFAs are also of the odd-chain variety.

Biosynthesis
The most common OCFA are the saturated C15 and C17 derivatives, respectively pentadecanoic acid and heptadecanoic acid. Even-chained fatty acids are synthesized by assembling  acetyl-CoA precursors. Because the segments are each two carbons in length the resulting fatty acid has an even number of carbon atoms in it. However, propionyl-CoA instead of acetyl-CoA is used as the primer for the biosynthesis of long-chain fatty acids with an odd number of carbon atoms.

Metabolism
Oxidation of odd-carbon fatty acids requires three additional enzymes. The first is propionyl-CoA carboxylase. This enzyme is responsible for carboxylating the α-carbon of a propionyl-CoA to produce D-methylmalonyl-CoA. After this, methylmalonyl-CoA epimerase carries out an isomerization reaction. Specifically, the D-isomer produced by the carboxylase reaction is transformed into the L-isomer of Methylmalonyl-CoA. This is a recently discovered enzyme, it was researched during the late 1900s and the first publication was in 1961. Researchers concluded that there was indeed a racemic reaction prior to reaching succinyl-CoA. Finally, Methylmalonyl-CoA mutase, a vitamin B12-dependent enzyme, converts L-methylmalonyl-CoA into succinyl-CoA using a free radical mechanism. Succinyl-CoA is an intermediate of the TCA cycle and can readily enter there.

Occurrence
OCFAs are found particularly in ruminant fat and milk (e.g. heptadecanoic acid).
Some plant-based fatty acids, also have an odd number of carbon atoms, and Phytanic fatty acid absorbed from the plant chlorophyll has multiple methyl branch points. As a result, it breaks down into three odd-numbered 3C Propionyl segments as well as three even-numbered 2C Acetyl segments and one even numbered 4C Isobutynoyl segment.  In humans,  in sharp contrast to butyrate and octanoate, the odd-chain SCFA, propionate, has no inhibitory effect on glycolysis and does not stimulate ketogenesis. Odd-chain and branched-chain fatty acids, which form propionyl-CoA, can serve as minor precursors for gluconeogenesis.
