Ridership
Ridership thumb|Amtrak train 51 arriving at Thurmond|left It is one of Amtrak's least-busy stations, it was the second least-busy for fiscal year 2006, after Greenfield Village, Michigan, which was less traveled because it had been discontinued from the Amtrak regular schedule in April 2006 (being open only to groups after that point). Of the 509 stations served by Amtrak in fiscal year 2012, Thurmond was again the second least-used station, just ahead of Sanderson, Texas. In fiscal year 2023, however, Thurmond was the fourth least-used station. In 2022, the Amtrak station in Thurmond, WV saw 399 passengers served, compared to 285 in 2018. In 2023, 466 passengers were served at the Thurmond station. As of 2024, due to the low annual ridership in Thurmond, the station is unstaffed, there is no waiting room, and no in-person ticket booth or kiosk.

History
History The long, narrow two-story slate-roofed wooden structure, built in 1905 by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, also houses a railroad museum and a visitor center for the New River Gorge National River. The depot features a projecting bay that served as a signal tower. The interior originally possessed three waiting rooms: one for white men, one for white women, and one for African Americans. The building was renovated in 1995. It is a contributing structure in the Thurmond Historic District. In 2023, a new small accessible platform was constructed to accommodate passengers with reduced mobility.

Hateley Heath
Short description
Hateley Heath is a residential area of West Bromwich, West Midlands.The population of the Sandwell ward taken at the 2011 census was 14,227.
Hateley Heath
History
History Although the first major housing developments around Hateley Heath took place in the Heath Lane area during 1930s when private builders built houses within the boundary of West Bromwich, the largest section of Hateley Heath was developed during the late 1940s and early 1950s within the boundaries of West Bromwich and neighbouring Wednesbury, when mass council house building took place. The new homes were initially very popular with their occupants, who appreciated modern facilities such as indoor toilets, bathrooms, running water, electricity and gardens. They had previously lived in 19th century slums which lacked these facilities. An infant school was built to serve the estate in 1950, replacing facilities at nearby Hill Top, followed by the junior school two years later. The infant and junior schools merged to form a single primary school in September 1999. The senior school at Hill Top remained open and was the most popular destination for the secondary school population of the estate until its closure in the early 1990s, since when nearby Wodensborough has been the main secondary school for pupils living in Hateley Heath. In 1966, Wednesbury urban district was absorbed into an expanded West Bromwich borough and Hateley Heath was fully incorporated into the township of West Bromwich, within which it has remained ever since. The opposite transfer of township took place with neighbouring Friar Park, which was now within the township of Wednesbury rather than West Bromwich. By the 1980s, Hateley Heath was plagued by high unemployment and crime, and the condition of the housing was deteriorating. A small section of the estate, consisting of low-rise flats, was demolished between 1988 and 1992, and new housing was built in its place by both the public sector and private sector. Several other houses on the estate have since been demolished and the remaining council properties have been refurbished. In January 1992, an Express & Star report claimed that Hateley Heath had some of the worst crime rates in the region.midlandsmemories.com It was estimated that six out of ten children living in Hateley Heath were involved in crime. Joyriding, burglaries, theft and vandalism were just some of the many problems that were reported to be plaguing the area. Several shopkeepers had closed their stores due to extensive theft and vandalism. In 1991 alone, no less than 1,006 crimes were recorded on the estate - an average of once in just over eight hours. Car thefts and break-ins were the most common crime in the area, followed closely behind by burglaries and vandalism. During the year, 48 people who lived on the estate were arrested on suspicion of various criminal offences, though it is unknown how many of these arrests resulted in a conviction. What is known is that all but three of the people arrested were aged under 25. Unemployment and social deprivation were blamed for the decline of Hateley Heath, with an unemployment rate of 14.9% in 1991, when the national rate was below 10%. However, parts of the nearby towns of Smethwick and Tipton had an even higher unemployment rate at this time, when Britain was in recession. Hateley Heath has since improved with the aid of local community projects. Private housing was built on the site of the demolished flats. Most of the remaining homes have been comprehensively refurbished, while a small section of the northern part of the estate was demolished in the early 2010s.
Hateley Heath
Facilities
Facilities The estate has been served by an infant school since 1950 and a junior school since 1952. Both of these schools replaced facilities at nearby Hill Top School, which remained open as a secondary school until 1992 and is now the site of a housing development. A second primary school, Kent Close Primary, was opened on the estate in 1960 to serve the growing 5-11 population. It closed in July 2005 and was later demolished.

Calgary French and International School
short description
Calgary French & International School (CFIS) is a private French language immersion and International Baccalaureate school in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. All subjects are taught in French, except English and Spanish. The school prides itself on providing a nurturing environment for all students, although many have noted that certain challenges, particularly in terms of peer relationships, often go unnoticed by those in charge. According to the Fraser Institute Report Card on Alberta's Secondary and Elementary Schools 2019, CFIS achieved a top ranking of schools in Alberta. It is a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Associated School, as well as Round Square affiliated, and it is accredited by the Canadian Accredited Independent Schools However, it has been suggested by some families that this public image masks an underlying issue that students face in dealing with bullying, which seems to be swept under the rug, often dismissed as isolated incidents. The $20 million school facility was built in two phases, in 2003 and 2005. The two-story school facility includes 45 classrooms, two library/resource areas, two science labs, dedicated music rooms, dedicated art studios, an outdoor classroom, two dedicated cafeterias, double-court regulation gyms, a junior-sized baseball diamond, a running track and soccer pitch, and two theatre-style classrooms, as well as a stage also acting as a gym for early childhood education.
Calgary French and International School
History
History The Calgary French School (the predecessor to the Calgary French and International School) was founded after the passing of the Official Languages Act in September 1969. Many mothers had practiced French on their own, and sought to establish an educational institution that could teach young in an all-French environment, called French immersion. Calgary French School began in church basements, and became a part of the Sacred Heart School in 1974. Throughout this time there was consistent growth in both student numbers and scholarly reputation. Over time, the community desired a space to call home. In late 1999, the shared space was reclaimed by its owners, so the school sought its own building. A campaign began to raise funds to purchase land and to construct a new site for the growing school.

UUM-44 SUBROC
Short description
The UUM-44 SUBROC ("Submarine Rocket") was a type of submarine-launched rocket deployed by the United States Navy as an anti-submarine weapon. It carried a 25 kiloton tactical nuclear warhead configured as a nuclear depth bomb.Dr Peter A Goetz A Technical History of America's Nuclear Arms, 2018, Vol 1 p. 419.
UUM-44 SUBROC
Development
Development thumb|left|Subroc launch sequence, 1964. thumb|Subroc in Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center SUBROC was one of several weapons recommended for implementation by Project Nobska, a 1956 summer study on submarine warfare. Development began in 1958, with the technical evaluation being completed in 1963. SUBROC reached Initial Operation Capability (IOC) aboard the attack submarine Permit in 1964.SUBROC was originally supposed to reach IOC with the attack submarine , but that submarine sank before any missiles were loaded and tested on it. When SUBROC reached IOC, the US Navy's admiral in charge of weapons procurement stated that SUBROC was "…a more difficult technical problem than Polaris."Bill Gunston Rocket & Missiles, Salamander Books 1979, ISSB 0-517-26870-1
UUM-44 SUBROC
Operation
Operation SUBROC could be launched from a 21-inch submarine torpedo tube. After launch, the solid fuel rocket motor fired and SUBROC rose to the surface. The attitude then changed and SUBROC flew to its destination following a predetermined ballistic trajectory. At a predetermined time in the trajectory, the reentry vehicle (containing the warhead) separated from the solid fuel motor. The low kiloton W55 nuclear depth bomb dropped into the water and sank rapidly to detonate near its target. A direct hit was not necessary. The W55 was in diameter, long, and weighed . Some sources suggest the W55 evolved from the experimental bomb tested in the Hardtack I Olive nuclear test on July 22, 1958, which had a full two-stage yield estimated at 202 kilotons. Researcher Chuck Hansen claims based on his US nuclear program research that the W55 and W58 warheads shared a common primary or fission first stage named Kinglet. SUBROC's tactical use was as an urgent-attack long-range weapon for time-urgent submarine targets that could not be attacked with any other weapon without betraying the position of the launching submarine by calling for an air-strike, or where the target was too distant to be attacked quickly with a torpedo launched from the submarine. The tactical rationale for SUBROC was similar to that for ASROC or Ikara. An added advantage was that SUBROC's approach to the target was not detectable by the target in time to take evasive action, although the warhead yield would appear to make evasive maneuvers unrealistic. However, SUBROC was less flexible in its use than Ikara or ASROC: since its only payload was a nuclear warhead, it could not be used to provide stand-off fire in a conventional (i.e., non-nuclear) engagement. SUBROC production ended in 1968. SUBROC was never used in combat, and all 285 W55 warheads were decommissioned in 1990 following the end of the Cold War. Because the nuclear warhead was an integral part of the weapon, SUBROC could not be exported to other navies, and there is no evidence that any were supplied to other NATO allies under the well-established arrangements for supplying other dual-key nuclear weapons. In 1980 a planned successor, the UUM-125 Sea Lance, was authorized. In 1982 the contract was awarded to Boeing. The system and its W89 warhead were cancelled in 1990 at the end of the Cold War.

St. Louis Rams
St. Louis Rams Carriker was selected in the first round, with the 13th overall pick, by the St. Louis Rams. On July 26, 2007, Carriker signed a five-year $14.5 million contract, with guarantees of $9.5 million. Carriker started all 16 games of his rookie season at defensive tackle instead of his college position, defensive end. Carriker, who bulked up from the 296 pounds he weighed at the NFL combine, weighed in the 305-pound range during the 2007 season. He was voted the Rams Rookie of the Year called the Carroll Rosenbloom Memorial Award, finishing with 2 sacks, 32 tackles, and a safety. Carriker missed the entire 2009 NFL season due to injury.
Adam Carriker
Washington Redskins
Washington Redskins Carriker was traded to the Washington Redskins on April 20, 2010. In exchange, the teams swapped fifth and seventh-round draft picks in 2010. After initial shock, Carriker was pleased about his trade and the chance to revitalize his career. In Washington, Carriker earned the starting left defensive end position for the Washington Redskins in a 3-4 defensive scheme. With the Rams he was a "3-technique" defensive tackle in a 4-3 defensive scheme which did not work out and led to his trade to the Washington Redskins. "In St. Louis, we tried to make him a 3-technique and up-the-field rusher," said defensive coordinator Jim Haslett. "For a guy who ran the 40 in 4.7 and was 6-6, 315 pounds, you'd think he could do that. But that's not what he wants to do. He wants to play with strength and power, and he does a pretty good job of it. He feels so much more comfortable in this." Carriker's 315 pounds is ideal, and he reported at the beginning of the 2010 season that he bench pressed 500 pounds, which helps him in his new position. Early in the 2010 season the change drew positive reviews, said Rich Campbell of Fredericksburg.com, "I'm buying Carriker as an impact 3-4 end right now. He's strong enough to set the edge on running plays, and he's even generating a pass rush on occasion. Carriker stopped Houston RB Arian Foster for a 2-yard loss in the second quarter after he made a quick step inside the pulling left guard. He also beat a double team on the first play of the second half to stop Foster for a gain of one. Carriker isn't dominant—but he is flashing." On March 13, 2012, Carriker re-signed with the Washington Redskins for four years on a $20 million contract with $7 million guaranteed. In Week 2 of the 2012 season against the St. Louis Rams, he suffered a right knee injury early in the first quarter. The next day it was confirmed that he tore quad tendon in his right leg and he would need surgery and would be placed on injured reserve. Carriker had his contract restructured to help with the salary cap penalty that the Washington Redskins faced last season on March 11, 2013. On July 25, he was placed on the PUP list after the team announced that he had a third surgery on his right knee and would be out for four or five months. On December 12, he was placed on injured reserve. He was released on March 4, 2014. Carriker participated in the first NFL Veteran Combine in March 2015. He was the only player at the Veteran Combine to do the bench press and performed 40 reps of 225 pounds, which was three more reps than the highest total at the 2015 NFL Combine. In April 2015, he attended minicamp with the Atlanta Falcons on tryout basis.

Eimai To Simera Kai Eisai To Chthes
More citations needed
Eimai To Simera Kai Eisai To Chthes (; ) is the name of the limited run and much valued fifth studio album by singer Anna Vissi. The album was released in 1982 by the short-lived record label Vissi and Nikos Karvelas formed for the release known as CarVi, whose name was a combination of their last names. At the time, Vissi was still signed to the Greek division of the EMI-owned Columbia Records, which went against her contract releasing an album with a different label. The independent production and release was a result of unresolved differences under her then signing. A court order in favor of EMIAL - the Greek division of EMI and the parent company of the Greek division of Columbia Records - resulted in the withdrawal of the album only a few weeks after its release, making the LP a collectible item. It is also the first album to be entirely written, composed and produced by Karvelas made for Vissi and kicks off a long collaboration. The album is considered by fans to be a raw and authentic composition for both Vissi and Karvelas, completely unburdened by any influence or control by a multinational record label. In 2019, 37 years after its initial release, the album became officially available for the first time, both on CD and through music streaming services, with the Panik Gold box set The Legendary Recordings 1982-2019. The release came after Panik's acquisition rights of Vissi's back catalogue from her previous record company Sony Music Greece. This box set was released on a limited edition of 500 copies containing all of her albums from 1982 until 2019 plus much unreleased material.

Agudas Israel Housing Association
History
History Agudas Israel Housing Association started its journey in 1982 to address the housing problems of the Orthodox Jewish community in North Hackney. Its main objective during that time was to provide housing advice to Charedi families in acute need. The Orthodox Jewish community, which by 1991 had reached an estimated 18,000 people, has since grown to approximately 75,000 people. AIHA registered with the Housing Corporation as a BME Housing Association in July 1986 with the purpose of providing housing for Orthodox Jews and is now registered with the Regulator of Social Housing as a Social Landlord. The organization has adopted the National Housing Federation Code of Governance in 2015. It is governed in accordance with the Nolan principles of Public Life and AIHA's own Code of Conduct and policies.

Services
Services Agudas Israel Housing Association manages over 900 homes in North London, Salford, Canvey Island, Westcliff, and Gateshead in the Northeast of England. The non-profit also provides over 100 spaces of supported housing, ranging from birth to retirement living, and employs over 145 team members to deliver these services. Services provided at the flagship Schonfeld Square include residential and nursing care, hospice care, and supported housing for independent retired people. Other important AIHA projects include providing accommodation and support for people with learning disabilities at Yad Vo’Ezer's in Queen Elizabeth Walk. Notable AIHA developments include: the RIBA award-winning Schonfeld Square; the Beenstock Home in Salford; and the Beis Brucha Mother & Baby Home. All of the above-mentioned works have been rated "Good" by the Care Quality Commission.
Agudas Israel Housing Association
Legal challenge
Legal challenge Agudas Israel Housing Association faced a legal challenge in 2017 filed by a mother of four children who had attempted to access suitable housing in Hackney from AIHA. Hackney Council did not forward her application to AIHA on account of her not being a member of the Orthodox Jewish community. This led the woman to bring judicial proceedings challenging the arrangements between AIHA and Hackney Council on the basis of discrimination. Her claim was dismissed by the High Court, which cited the difficulties faced by the Orthodox Jewish community in accessing suitable housing. The decision was upheld by the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court before an application was lodged by the complainant with the European Court of Human Rights in April 2021, which unanimously determined that the arrangement between Hackney Borough and Agudas Israel was objectively and reasonably justified and concluded that the challenge to AIHA was manifestly ill-founded. The judgment went in favor of the AIHA, which concluded their work, mission, and objectives as lawful, allowing them to continue developing and managing homes for the Orthodox Jewish community.

Prostacyclin synthase
Short description
Prostaglandin-I synthase () also known as prostaglandin I2 (prostacyclin) synthase (PTGIS) or CYP8A1 is an enzyme involved in prostanoid biosynthesis that in humans is encoded by the PTGIS gene. This enzyme belongs to the family of cytochrome P450 isomerases.
Prostacyclin synthase
Function
Function This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. However, this protein is considered a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily on the basis of sequence similarity rather than functional similarity. This endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein catalyzes the conversion of prostaglandin H2 to prostacyclin (prostaglandin I2), a potent vasodilator and inhibitor of platelet aggregation. An imbalance of prostacyclin and its physiological antagonist thromboxane A2 contribute to the development of myocardial infarction, stroke, and atherosclerosis. Unlike most P450 enzymes, PGIS does not require molecular oxygen (O2). Instead it uses its heme cofactor to catalyze the isomerization of prostaglandin H2 to prostacyclin. Prostaglandin H2 is produced by cyclooxygenase in the first committed step of prostaglandin biosynthesis.
Prostacyclin synthase
Nomenclature
Nomenclature The systematic name of this enzyme class is (5Z,13E)-(15S)-9alpha,11alpha-epidioxy-15-hydroxyprosta-5,13-dienoate 6-isomerase. Other names in common use include prostacyclin synthase, prostacyclin synthetase, prostagladin I2 synthetase, PGI2 synthase, PGIS, PTGIS, and PGI2 synthetase.

Prostacyclin synthase
Molecular interactions
Molecular interactions Generally, protein–protein interactions play crucial roles and are critical for formation of protein microenvironment, cell signaling and direct regulation of the activity of metabolic enzymes. Information on tissue-specific spectrum of molecular interactions of prostacyclin synthase will be useful for subnetwork analysis of PTGIS. Following proteins became known as potential direct binders of PTGIS: CYP2J2, GST, GSTA1, GLRX3, AKR1A1. Protein–protein and protein-peptide interactions were experimentally verified using surface plasmon resonance technology.

Vịnh Mốc tunnels
Short description
thumb|250px|The structural plan of Vịnh Mốc Tunnels.|alt=The structural plan of Vịnh Mốc Tunnels. thumb|250px|Visitors in Vịnh Mốc Tunnels.|alt=Visitors in Vịnh Mốc Tunnels. Vịnh Mốc ( ) is a tunnel complex in Quảng Trị, Vietnam. During the Vietnam War it was strategically located on the border of North Vietnam and South Vietnam. The tunnels were built to shelter people from the intense bombing of Son Trung and Son Ha communes in Vinh Linh county of Quảng Trị Province in the Vietnamese Demilitarized Zone. The American forces believed the villagers of Vinh Moc were supplying food and armaments to the North Vietnamese garrison on the island of Con Co which was in turn hindering the American bombers on their way to bomb Hanoi. The idea was to force the villagers of Vinh Moc to leave the area but as is typical in Vietnam there was nowhere else to go. The villagers initially dug the tunnels to move their village 10 metres underground but the American forces designed bombs that burrowed down 10 metres. Eventually, against these odds, the villagers moved the village to a depth of 30 metres. It was constructed in several stages beginning in 1966 and used until early 1972. The complex grew to include wells, kitchens, rooms for each family and spaces for healthcare. Around sixty families lived in the tunnels; as many as 17 children were born inside the tunnels. The tunnels were a success and no villagers lost their lives. The only direct hit was from a bomb that failed to explode; the resulting hole was utilized as a ventilation shaft. Three levels of tunnels were eventually built.
Vịnh Mốc tunnels
Geography
Geography The tunnels lie north of the Bến Hải River. Much of the sub-strata of Vietnam is limestone which is soft to dig through yet structurally sound. The limestone allows easy hand digging of the tunnels and no structural supports are necessary.
Vịnh Mốc tunnels
History
History When the War took place in Vinh Moc from 1965 to 1973, the United States Army released over 9,000 tons of bombs in the area, with a ratio of 7 tons of bombs on average per person. The locals began to dig tunnels in 1965 and finished in 1967 with simple tools in 18,000 labor days. The total length of the tunnels is nearly 2,000 m long with six entrances to the tops of hills and seven entrances to the South China Sea.
Vịnh Mốc tunnels
Tourism
Tourism Today, the tunnels are a tourist attraction and can be visited on organised tours. Beside individual tours to the tunnels, they are regularly part of day trips, starting from Huế to explore the DMZ. In comparison to the Củ Chi tunnels further south, walking through the Vinh Moc tunnels is a lot more comfortable, because they are situated in a less humid climate zone, and the height of the tunnels allows visitors to stand upright.

John Commins (hurler)
Short description
John Commins (born 26 September 1965) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a goalkeeper for the Galway senior team. Born on 26 September in Gort, County Galway, Commins first arrived on the inter-county scene when he first linked up with the Galway minor team, before later joining the under-21 side. He made his senior debut during the 1986 championship. Commins went on to play a key role for Galway for the next few years, and won two All-Ireland medals and one National Hurling League medal. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on two occasions. As a member of the Connacht inter-provincial team at various times, Commins won two Railway Cup medals. At club level he is a one-time Connacht medallist with Gort. In addition to this he also won one championship medal. Commins's retirement came following the conclusion of the 1990 championship. Commins is married and has three children, who all play hurling.

John Commins (hurler)
Inter-county
Inter-county Commins first came to prominence as an inter-county hurler on Galway's minor team in the early 1980s. He won an All-Ireland medal in 1983 and quickly graduated onto the under-21 side where he won another All-Ireland medal in 1986. That same year Commins made his debut as goalkeeper on the senior hurling team, with Galway reaching their second consecutive All-Ireland final. In the game against Cork Commins ran the length of the pitch to score a 21-yard free, however, victory still went to the Munster champions. In 1987, in their third All-Ireland final appearance in-a-row, Galway took on Kilkenny. At the third time of asking Galway emerged victorious and Commins finally captured his first All-Ireland medal. In 1988 Tipperary were Galway's opponents in their fourth consecutive All-Ireland final appearance. Commins had another solid performance as goalkeeper and claimed his second All-Ireland title in the process, before later winning his first All-Star award. In 1989 Commins began the year by winning his first National Hurling League title, however, Galway's star centre-back, Tony Keady, was banned from playing for a year. The side had contemplated withdrawing from the championship in protest, however, they decided to play, eventually losing out to Tipp in the All-Ireland semi-final. Commins received "man of the match" for this performance. In 1990 Commins played in his fourth All-Ireland final in five seasons. Galway were the hot favourites to beat Cork and it looked as if that prediction would come true when the tribesmen went 7 points up. Cork scored 4 goals in the second half and Commins was the scapegoat for the 5-15 to 2-21 defeat and was dropped from the Galway team for the 1991 championship. At the age of just 25 years Commins’s inter-county hurling career had drawn to a close.
