Amodiaquine | Short description | Amodiaquine (ADQ) is a medication used to treat malaria, including Plasmodium falciparum malaria when uncomplicated. It is recommended to be given with artesunate to reduce the risk of resistance. Due to the risk of rare but serious side effects, it is not generally recommended to prevent malaria. Though, the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2013 recommended use for seasonal preventive in children at high risk in combination with sulfadoxine and pyrimethamine.
Amodiaquine is a 4-aminoquinoline compound related to chloroquine. The side effects of amodiaquine are generally minor to moderate and are similar to those of chloroquine. Rarely liver problems or low blood cell levels may occur. When taken in excess headaches, trouble seeing, seizures, and cardiac arrest may occur. The WHO recommends its use for pregnant women during the second and third trimester as well as during lactation, but reports that evidence for use in the first trimester is still insufficient.
Amodiaquine was first made in 1948. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. While not available in the United States, it is widely available in Africa. |
Amodiaquine | Medical uses | Medical uses
Amodiaquine has become an important drug in the combination therapy for malaria treatment in Africa. It is often used in combination with artesunate as a by mouth artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) for uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria. Amodiaquine has also been found to work against chloroquine-resistant P. falciparum strains of malaria, though there is geographic variation in its activity against chloroquine-resistant strains.
It is also used in combination with sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine. |
Amodiaquine | Interactions | Interactions
There have been reports of increased liver toxicity in people with HIV/AIDS on zidovudine or efavirenz when treated with amodiaquine-containing ACT regimens, therefore it is recommended that these people avoid amodiaquine. |
Amodiaquine | Pharmacokinetics and pharmacogenetics | Pharmacokinetics and pharmacogenetics
It is bioactivated hepatically to its primary metabolite, N-desethylamodiaquine, by the cytochrome p450 enzyme CYP2C8. Among amodiaquine users, several rare but serious side effects have been reported and linked to variants in the CYP2C8 alleles. CYP2C8*1 is characterized as the wild-type allele, which shows an acceptable safety profile, while CYP2C8*2, *3 and *4 all show a range of "poor metabolizer" phenotypes. People who are poor metabolizers of amodiaquine display lower treatment efficacy against malaria, as well as increased toxicity. Several studies have been conducted to determine the prevalence of CYP2C8 alleles amongst malaria patients in East Africa, and have tentatively shown the variant alleles have significant prevalence in that population. About 3.6% of the population studied showed high risk for a poor reaction to or reduced treatment outcomes when treated with amodiaquine. This information is useful in developing programs of pharmacovigilance in East Africa, and have important clinical considerations for prescribing antimalarial medications in regions with high CYP2C8 variant frequency. |

Tumor necrosis factor superfamily | Short description | The tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily is a protein superfamily of type II transmembrane proteins containing TNF homology domain and forming trimers. Members of this superfamily can be released from the cell membrane by extracellular proteolytic cleavage and function as a cytokine. These proteins are expressed predominantly by immune cells and they regulate diverse cell functions, including immune response and inflammation, but also proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and embryogenesis.
The superfamily contains 19 members that bind to 29 members of TNF receptor superfamily. An occurrence of orthologs in invertebrates hints at ancient origin of this superfamily in evolution.
The PROSITE pattern of this superfamily is located in a beta sheet in the central section of the protein that is conserved across all members. |

Disc number | Short description | Disc numbers (, singular: ujamik, dual: ujamiik, plural: ujamiit; ) were used by the Government of Canada in lieu of surnames for Inuit. They were similar to dog tags.
Prior to the arrival of European customs, Inuit had no need of family names, and children were given names by the elders. However, by the 1940s the record-keeping requirements of outside entities such as the missions, traders and the government brought about change. In response to the government's needs, the Government of Canada decided on the disc number system. |
Disc number | Disc | Disc
The discs were roughly an inch across, burgundy, and made of pressed fibre or leather. They had a hole "to be threaded with a caribou thong and sewn into a parka for safekeeping", or they could be worn around the neck. The discs were stamped with "Eskimo Identification Canada" around the edge and the crown in the middle. Just below the crown was the number. The number was broken down into several parts, "E" for Inuit living east of Gjoa Haven and "W" for those in the west. This would be followed by a one or two digit number that indicated the area the person was from. The last set of numbers would identify the individual. The discs were used in the Northwest Territories (which, at the time, included present-day Nunavut) from 1941 until 1978.
Thus a young woman who was known to her relatives as "Lutaaq", "Pilitaq", "Palluq", or "Inusiq", and had been baptized as "Annie", was under this system to become "Annie E7-121".
For the most part, Inuit today do not miss the passing of the numbers, although some Inuit consider their discs to be personal artifacts of sentimental value.
This system was not used in Labrador, which had not yet joined Canada. All Labradorian Inuit who lacked modern surnames in 1893 were given surnames from the Moravian missionaries. |
Disc number | Cultural depictions | Cultural depictions
Today carvings and prints produced by Inuit artists may be seen with the disc number on them. The Inuk singer Susan Aglukark recorded the song E186 in 2000 on her album Unsung Heroes. Lucie Idlout recorded a CD called E5-770, My Mother's Name in 2005.
Norma Dunning's book Kinauvit?: What’s Your Name? The Eskimo Disc System and a Daughter’s Search for Her Grandmother was shortlisted for the Shaughnessy Cohen Prize for Political Writing in 2023."Globe reporter Josh O’Kane among Shaughnessy Cohen book prize nominees". The Globe and Mail, 29 March 2023. |
Disc number | Project Surname | Project Surname
In 1965, Abe Okpik was appointed to sit on the 5th Northwest Territories Legislative Council, its first Inuk. In 1966, Simonie Michael became the council's first elected Inuk, declaring his intention to not be known by his disc number. The Government of the NWT decided to replace the disc numbers with names and Abe Okpik was appointed to Project Surname. From 1968 to 1971, Okpik toured the NWT and northern Quebec (Nunavik) recording the preferences of people. He was to be later given the Order of Canada in part because of his work with the surnames. |

Daddy's Dyin': Who's Got the Will? | Short description | Daddy's Dyin' ...Who's Got the Will? is a 1990 American ensemble comedy-drama film. Del Shores wrote the screenplay, based on his 1987 play of the same title. |
Daddy's Dyin': Who's Got the Will? | Plot | Plot
Buford Turnover (Bert Remsen) is suffering from advanced dementia, and it's only a matter of time before he dies. Told by Buford's mother-in-law Lois (Molly McClure) ('Mama Wheelis' to her grandchildren) that their father is dying, his four adult children arrive at the family's homestead to spend time with their father during his last days. It's a mixed bag of personalities: Lurlene (Amy Wright), the eldest sister, a minister's wife who rarely visits the rest of the family; Sara Lee (Tess Harper), the spinsterish middle sister who cares for her father with the help of her grandmother; Orville (Beau Bridges), the greedy, abusive brother, and his wife, Marlene (Patrika Darbo); and the youngest sibling Evalita (Beverly D'Angelo), the six-times married aspiring country singer, who brings her hippie boyfriend Harmony (Judge Reinhold).
All arrive at the Turnover homestead, and personalities clash.
Eldest sister Lurlene irritates her siblings as she tries to take control of the situation, causing resentment by acting too much like their deceased mother Linnie Sue (Carolyn Brooks). She is a bit estranged from the rest of the family, having only returned to the homestead every few years since she married and moved away, leaving her father to try to run the farm alone. For this reason, Lurlene suspects that she has been cut out of the will. However, Lurlene has few altercations with her siblings and tries to keep the peace among them.
Sara Lee also tries to act as peacemaker, until Evalita has a drunken night at the bar with Clarence (Keith Carradine), to whom Sara Lee is engaged (though it is later revealed to the audience that the two had broken up at some prior point). Evalita implies that she and Clarence had slept together, though Clarence denies the event.
Orville frequently verbally abuses Marlene, often criticizing her weight and parenting skills. (The couple have one son, Jimbo, whom Orville sent to reform school after catching him smoking marijuana and huffing gasoline.) Orville is rarely seen without a beer in his hand. Marlene is preoccupied with her weight and is quite unhappy with her husband and life. She and her sisters-in-law and grandmother-in-law get along very well, and Marlene quickly forms a close bond with Harmony as well.
Evalita is constantly drunk and makes her family uncomfortable during very public displays of affection with Harmony. She spends most of her time not at home with her dying father, but at the local bar, singing. On one occasion, she lies about her age.
Harmony is initially distrusted by the family, but eventually manages to win the family over (except Orville) when he demonstrates his piano playing ability by playing "I'll Fly Away" on the family piano. As everybody gathers together to sing along, Buford hears the music and rises from his bed, watching his grown son and daughters sing. He sees them as small children, singing with their mother.
When Harmony and Marlene secretly share a joint, he tells her that he is falling in love with her, and asks her to run away with him. She refuses, but they end up kissing in the kitchen and nearly get caught by Orville.
Eventually, Mama Wheelis remembers that Buford kept his will in a strong box buried in the yard. Harmony helps open the box by picking the lock, telling the family that he had once served time in prison for burglary. Evalita, again drunk, berates him for this and Harmony leaves. The will is read, and though all the siblings had been forgiven by their father in an earlier scene, the will hadn't been changed and Lurlene and Orville each receive only $1 of the $600,000 estate. Jimbo receives what would have been his father's share in the estate. Sara Lee offers to share her inheritance with Orville and Lurlene, but Evalita refuses to give up any of hers.
Harmony returns to tell Evalita that he has thrown her belongings out of his van, and that he is going back to California. Marlene quickly grabs her suitcase and leaves with Harmony.
Buford eventually dies, and the family converges in the living room for the funeral. They begin to practice the song they will sing at the funeral, and an image of Buford can be seen, watching. Again, he sees his adult children as young children.
In their newfound peace, the will is temporarily forgotten. |

Chrysene | short description | Chrysene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) with the molecular formula that consists of four fused benzene rings. It is a natural constituent of coal tar, from which it was first isolated and characterized. It is also found in creosote at levels of 0.5–6 mg/kg.Anja Sörensen and Bodo Wichert "Asphalt and Bitumen" in Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry Wiley-VCH, Weinheim, 2009. http://www.qrpoil.com/site/?bitumen
The name "chrysene" originates from Greek Χρύσoς (chrysos), meaning "gold", and is due to the golden-yellow color of the crystals of the hydrocarbon, thought to be the proper color of the compound at the time of its isolation and characterization. However, high purity chrysene is colorless, the yellow hue being due to the traces of its yellow-orange isomer tetracene, which cannot be separated easily. |

As with other PAHs, chrysene is suspected to be a human carcinogen. Some evidence suggests that it causes cancer in laboratory animals,TOXICOLOGICAL PROFILE FOR POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS but chrysene is often contaminated with more strongly carcinogenic compounds.

Process crime | Short description |
In United States criminal procedure terminology, a process crime is an offense against the judicial process. These crimes include failure to appear, false statements, obstruction of justice, contempt of court and perjury.
Process crimes are sometimes a basis for a "pretextual prosecution", in which prosecutors bring process crime charges against a defendant in order to punish them for another crime for which a conviction is more difficult to obtain. |
Process crime | Definition | Definition
Process crimes are the offenses that "interfere with the procedures and administration of justice". They are prosecuted because they are considered to harm the public interest in the functioning and integrity of the judicial system.
There is a broad range of process crimes, covered in the U.S. by a variety of federal and state laws. The five "archetypal" process charges are failure to appear, false statements, obstruction of justice, contempt of court and perjury. Persons who do not cooperate with an arrest may be charged with such process crimes as resisting arrest, flight to elude arrest or battery on police officers.
In U.S. legal literature, prosecutions for process crimes are covered largely as a phenomenon of federal criminal law. But they are also frequently prosecuted in state courts. |
Process crime | Pretextual prosecutions | Pretextual prosecutions
Process crimes lend themselves to being prosecuted regardless of the actual harm done to the furtherance of justice. They are therefore frequently a basis for "pretextual prosecutions", a prosecutorial tactic in which "prosecutors target defendants based on suspicion of one crime but prosecute them for another". The classic example is the pretextual prosecution of the gangster Al Capone for tax evasion rather than for his many other crimes in 1931.
To prosecutors, process crimes are particularly suitable for such purposes because they "carry a strong veneer of legitimacy" (i.e., most people agree that lying in court should be punishable), because they carry significant penalties, and because the prosecution is able to help produce these crimes. For instance, prosecutors can set up situations such as grand jury hearings or discovery requests in which process crimes – lies and omissions – tend to frequently occur. Process crimes also tend to be easier to prove than other crimes, and they often do not present a statute of limitations problem because they can arise late in the investigation of another crime that is more difficult to prove.
Examples in which process crimes are used for pretextual prosecutions include using "dissuading a witness" charges to sanction domestic abusers, or contempt charges for violating court orders to stay away from a place or person to punish suspected street criminals. On occasion, prosecutors may even go beyond a pretextual prosecution (through which they seek to sanction a real, if perhaps unprovable, offense) and use process crime charges merely to punish a defendant for their perceived obstinacy or insubordination. |

Algemene Bank Nederland | Short description | Algemene Bank Nederland (ABN, "General Bank of the Netherlands") was a Dutch bank that was created in 1964 through the merger of the Netherlands Trading Society (, NHM, est. 1824) with the (TB, est. 1861). In 1991, ABN merged with Amsterdamsche en Rotterdamsche Bank (AMRO Bank) to form ABN AMRO. |

The Netherlands Trading Society and Twentsche Bank announced their merger to form ABN Bank on . An important reason for the merger was the international trend towards concentration. Banks were obliged to scale up their operations. The extensive international network of NTS and the strong Dutch home base of TB, notably in stockbroking and foreign exchange dealing, complemented each other perfectly. Another reason for joining forces was the past involvement of the two banks in developing the textile industry in the Twente region of the Netherlands. NTS had been sharing the running expenses of TB's branch in London (which opened in 1858) since 1953. |
Algemene Bank Nederland | Expansion | Expansion
The December 1967 acquisition of the Hollandsche Bank-Unie (HBU) with its strong position in South America gave the international network a more balanced structure. The Dutch branch network of ABN Bank was expanded substantially from 1964 onwards in step with the growing significance of retail banking. The acquisition of Bank Mees & Hope in 1975 reflected ABN Bank's diversification strategy since the chief strength of BMH was international commodity finance. After the take over BMH continued to operate independently under its own name. Kingma’s Bank of Leeuwarden, which BMH had acquired in 1971, was transferred to ABN Bank in early 1981 and continued its operations under the name of ABN/Kingma's Bank. ABN Bank was also active in hire-purchase finance. In 1967 it acquired Industrieele Disconto Maatschappij, in which it already held a minority interest through TB.
The independent stockbroking subsidiary Nachenius, Tjeenk & Co, a 1991 amalgamation of two earlier (1977) acquisitions, Weduwe Tjeenk & Co (est. 1810) and Nachenius & Dudok van Heel (est. 1797), gave ABN Bank a foothold in the private banking market.
The bank also continued its international expansion and in September 1977 the three former Nederlandsche Handel-Maatschappij branches in Saudi Arabia were incorporated in a new bank, Albank Alsaudi Alhollandi in Riyadh. This bank steadily increased its number of branches and changed its name to Saudi Hollandi Bank in 1991.
An important acquisition occurred in 1979 with the takeover of Chicago-based LaSalle National Bank. This acquisition laid the foundation for what would become the second home market of the bank. Founded in 1927 as National Builders Bank of Chicago, LaSalle Bank gave ABN its first firm foothold in the US Midwest. In 1990 Exchange Bancorp of Chicago was incorporated in LaSalle.
ABN also stepped up its activities in Europe. In April 1980 it obtained a majority interest in (NSM), a storied French private bank in Paris. With roots dating back to 1667, NSM was one of the oldest and prestigious private banks in France. ABN Bank's Parisian subsidiary Banque Jordaan & Cie (in which TB had held an interest since 1909) became part of NSM. NSM acquired Banque Demachy in 1999 to become NSMD.
Although ABN Bank had a strong international network of its own, it chose to cooperate with other European banks. The Associated Banks of Europe Corporation (ABECOR) was founded in Brussels in 1972 by ABN Bank and three other banks keen to initiate innovations in banking. ABECOR established Banque de la Société Financière Européenne in Paris which works in the field of medium-term loans. ABN Bank was also involved in setting up Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT), in Brussels. Computer links between affiliated banks have greatly accelerated international transactions. |
Algemene Bank Nederland | Merger with AMRO Bank | Merger with AMRO Bank
With the coming prospect of the internal European market from 1992, ABN Bank and AMRO Bank decided to approach the challenging new era with combined forces. The merger was completed rapidly after ABN AMRO Holding N.V. made a successful bid for the shares of both banks in August 1990. On September 22, 1991, the new ABN AMRO Bank was established, with head office in Amsterdam. |

''Dave, Felix: Please take a look at the proposed RFC below. If you think that I got anything wrong, or if there is anything else commenting editors should know, let me know. Once we agree on the description, I'll start the RFC and we can pick a second issue. TheronJ 14:59, 7 March 2007 (UTC) |
Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2007-01-04 Johann Hari/Draft photo rfc | Draft Request for Comment: Disputed Photo | Draft Request for Comment: Disputed Photo
Description
This is a dispute regarding whether this image is appropriate for inclusion in the body of the Johann Hari article. The previously involved editors may offer more details below, but basically, the dispute is this:
Felix-felix would like to include the picture. He thinks that it is a good illustration of the subject, Johann Hari, pursuing his profession (journalism), and would therefore be a positive addition to the article.
According to its posting on Flickr,, the image is licensed under the Creative Commons 2.0 attribution license, which means it's the only GDFL-compliant image currently available. (The editors are working on obtaining releases for more images, and hope to get a copyright release on this image shortly. In addition, the editors could probably come up with fair use rationales for "promotional" images if the free image at issue is not usable).
David r opposes the use of the image at issue. Dave reports that Hari has confirmed to him in e-mail that (1) the picture isn't him, and (2) the clothes in the picture aren't his. In addition to believing that the picture isn't Hari, Dave also opposes the picture because Dave believes the picture to be unflattering. Dave has offered for Felix or I to e-mail Hari and confirm the e-mails, but we believe him.
Felix believes that (1) the picture is clearly Hari on its face (see generally the other Hari photos on Google images); and (2) the Flickr caption identifies the photo as Hari, and reports that the photo was taken at a protest in the UK. (Hari wrote a piece about this protest, so there does not appear to be much dispute that he was there). He is concerned about the implications of allowing a subject of an article to veto a photo that he believes clearly is the an accurate photo of the guy in question.
The question of whether to use the image therefore raises a number of sub-issues: (1) Given that the photo resembles Hari, but that it's disputed, what are the WP:ATT requirements, and have they been met. (2) Does this raise WP:BLP issues, and how can they be resolved? (3) Does the existence of this photo prevent the editors from using promotional images under the fair use guidelines?
Thanks for commenting, TheronJ 14:59, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Statements by editors previously involved in dispute
It's worth bearing in mind three other factors:
(1) My understanding is that the picture was taken at a very crowded protest event where hundreds of people were milling around, and clearly the photographer has picked out somebody who looks a bit like Hari.
(2) My reason for suspecting Felix is trying to find and insert an unflattering picture is that he has described Hari as "a self-publicising careerist and a particularly unpleasant one at that", accused him of supporting "the destruction of Untermenschen", and tried to insert photographs which, on another website, he linked to from the word 'unpleasant'. Links for all this can be found in the Hari discussion page, along with evidence Felix has inserted negative falsehoods into Hari's entry (like the claim he went to the ultra-exclusive private school Harrow School, when in fact his father is a bus driver and he went to a nearby school!). In light of this clear and unwikipedian agenda, I fear Felix's hostility to hari has led him to choose an unflattering image rather than the standard publicity-shot that one finds on every other journalists' page I can find on wiki.
(3) There is a perfectly good and undisputed picture that we are getting copyright clearance on in the next few days - DavidR
Remember to sign in dave, and also remember WP:ATTACK.
(1)The camp had only 600 people as recorded both here and (by Hari) here , so the chance of finding a doppleganger seems a little unlikely, to put it mildly.
(2)The picture is not unflattering and shows Hari at work, which you might notice if you took a break from all the (inaccurate and frankly inappropriate) personal attacks. This is supposed to be mediation, remember?
(3)No-one is against the indy portrait mugshot going in when it's non-copyvio, I (and other editors) just want this one too.FelixFelix talk 18:53, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Comments by other editors
Where another wiki user uses decpetion, it is legitimate to factually describe that. Editors who look at the archived discussion on the Hari entry can see that felix-Felix inserted odd-looking pictures of Hari which Felix then insisted were simply "the best pictures available". Yet on another website, he linked from the word 'unpleasant' to precisely those weird and unflattering pictures, revealing that in reality he did think they were unpleasant. That's why I'm reulctant, I'm afraid, to take his protestations at face value on this new picture he is trying to insert, which is not Hari at all. David r from meth productions 00:45, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Dave, this really isn't in the spirit of mediation, which, as I recall, you asked for. You might want to remind your self about WP:AGF, WP:ATTACK and TheronJ's opening comments in the mediation."I'm not making a judgment on who started anything or whether either of you was wrong, but I think it would be most constructive to forgive and forget any past comments, accusations, sockpuppetry, or really anything else and just start fresh." . Why not give it a rest and try and sort out the article?FelixFelix talk 09:04, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
I am trying to sort out the article, and I have no interest in raking over what you have said, except to explain to editors why I believe this picture (of somebody other than Hari) is being inserted for reasons of POV and malice. That sounds like an odd accusation out of context; in its context, it makes perfect sense. It would be unfair to the commenters to not provide that factual context, so they can judge this case on all the information. - DavidR |

Dave, Felix, just to clarify my plans,
Either one of you can feel free to edit my main description above if you think that the three of us are likely to agree to your edits.
If you have something additional to say that's more controversial, you can put it in a bullet under the "comments by involved editors" section.
If you have any questions or more general comments, put them here.
Thanks! TheronJ 16:03, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Are you guys comfortable with the proposed RFC as it stands? Also, Felix, do you want to write a "Statement by involved editor" before I post it? Thanks, TheronJ 23:04, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm happy, thanks again Theronj - DavidR
I think that's it too.FelixFelix talk 18:13, 10 March 2007 (UTC) |

Anson Phelps Stokes (philanthropist) | Short description | Anson Phelps Stokes (April 13, 1874 – August 13, 1958) was an American educator, historian, clergyman, author, philanthropist and civil rights activist. |
Anson Phelps Stokes (philanthropist) | Early life | Early life
Stokes was born in New Brighton on Staten Island, New York, to Anson Phelps Stokes and Helen Louisa ( Phelps) Stokes. He shared his name with his father, the prominent banker, and his son, Anson Phelps Stokes Jr., an Episcopal bishop.
He attended Yale University, graduating in 1896 with a bachelor's degree. At Yale he was inducted into Skull and Bones. He then traveled, mostly in East Asia. In 1897, he entered the Episcopal Theological School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to prepare for the priesthood, and received his bachelor of divinity degree in 1900, although it was not until 1925 that he formally became a priest. |
Anson Phelps Stokes (philanthropist) | Career | Career
In 1899, Stokes took the post of Secretary of Yale University, second in command to the university's president, and he also served as assistant rector of Saint Paul's Episcopal Church in New Haven, Connecticut, from 1900 to 1918. Stokes was a favorite to replace Arthur T. Hadley as president of Yale in 1921, and was said to have had the support of a majority of the Yale Corporation, but a vociferous minority insisted that an outsider was needed at the helm of the university, and Stokes was passed over for James Rowland Angell.
From 1924 to 1939, Stokes was resident canon at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. During this time, he became involved in many social, cultural, and ecclesiastical causes, and guided the philanthropy of the Phelps Stokes Fund (established in 1911) to improve the lives of African and American blacks. In 1936, he published a short biography of Booker T. Washington, which was an expanded version of a sketch he had written for the Dictionary of American Biography.
Stokes saw all of his work as "fellowship in the gospel" (Philemon 1:5). |
