Fujiwara no Suekane (藤原 季兼, 1044 - November 6, 1101) was a nobleman and warlord of the late Heian period. He served as Local Governor of Owari Province and District Governor of Nukata. He is also known as Mikawa Shirō Taifu.
Life
He was born in 1044 as the son of courtier and Governor of Suruga Province, Fujiwara no Sanenori, and the daughter of Ono Sukemichi, Governor of Iki Province. He was a member of the powerful Fujiwara clan's Nanke House through the Fujiwara no Sadatsugu lineage.
He ruled Nukata in Mikawa Province as its development lord (kaihatsu ryōshu) while serving as a district governor (gunji). Suekane grew his political and military power within his territory to the extent that he did not need the protection of the governing families (kenmon), and had sufficient military power to control the territory. It is believed that he gained such a position by fighting against the kenmon, provincial governors (kokushi), and other regional government officials.
He later became the acting governor (mokudai) of Owari Province, and married Owari Motoko, the daughter of Owari Kazumoto, the High Priest of Atsuta Shrine. The two had a son, Fujiwara no Suenori. At the time, the Owari clan, the ruling shake family of the Atsuta Shrine, was at a feud with the local kokushi. To fulfil the duty as the local governor (daikan) of the kokushi, Suekane's marriage with the daughter of the ruling family of Owari Province was highly desirable. As a result of the marital relation between the two families, the diplomatic relations of the high priest family and the provincial governorate were repaired, and the expansion of shrine territory through the donation of governorate territory was proposed.
Suekane died on November 6, 1101, at the age of 58.
Genealogy
Suekane is the great-grandfather of Minamoto no Yoritomo, the founder and first shogun of the Kamakura shogunate, through his granddaughter Yura Gozen who married Minamoto no Yoshitomo.
In 1114, Owari Kazumoto handed the position of High Priest of Atsuta Shrine over to Suekane's son Suenori. The Owari clan had established the Atsuta Shrine in 192, and held the position of High Priest since ancient times, passing it down from generation to generation, until Suenori of the Fujiwara clan succeeded the position. Since then, the Fujiwara clan became the head of Atsuta Shrine, while the Owari clan stepped down to the second highest position of adjutant chief priest (gongūji).

Pilcher v Rawlins (1872) 7 Ch App 259 is a decision of the English Court of Appeal in relation to the rights of the beneficiaries under a trust against a bona fide third party purchaser for value of the trust property.
The Court of Appeal overruled the Master of the Rolls and held that the third party purchasers acquired legal title to the property free of the interests of the beneficiaries. This is probably the earliest recorded case in English law where the court explicitly applied the rule that a bona fide purchaser for value without notice (or "equity's darling") takes free of any equitable interest in the property of which they were unaware, although even within the case report itself they refer to the principle as a long standing one.
Facts
In 1830 the settlor, Jeremiah Pilcher, transferred certain property to three trustees on trust for himself for life and then his children by his first marriage thereafter.One of the trustees was noted aural surgeon and medical reformer, George Pilcher. In 1851 the trust loaned £8,373 to Robert Rawlins (a solicitor) on the strength of a mortgage granted by Rawlins over a property at Whitchurch, Hampshire. Under the law at the time, this involved Rawlins conveying title to the property to the trustees, subject to the proviso that they would transfer it back when the loan was repaid.
By 1856 two out of the three appointed trustees had died, and the sole remaining trustee was W.H. Pilcher. William Humphrey Pilcher and Rawlins "connived" (in the words of the Lord Chancellor) a scheme. William Humphrey Pilcher transferred title to the Whitchurch property back to Rawlins even though he had not repaid the loan. Rawlins then mortgaged the same property to the trustees of another trust: Stockwell and Lamb, conveying legal title to the land into their names in consideration of a loan of £10,000. Stockwell and Lamb were unaware of the prior mortgage and the rights of the first trust in favour of Jeremiah Pilcher and his children. William Humphrey Pilcher and Rawlins then basically split the £10,000 equally, and left the title to the land with Stockwell and Lamb.
When the fraud was uncovered, Jeremiah Pilcher and his children filed suit against W.H. Pilcher, Rawlins, Stockwell and Lamb. Stockwell and Lamb averred that they had good title to the land at Whitchurch as they were bona fide purchasers for value of a legal estate without notice.
The case came before the Master of the Rolls, Lord Romilly, at first instance, and he held that the 1851 mortgage prevailed and that Jeremiah Pilcher and his children were the beneficiaries of it, and Stockwell and Lamb's title to the land was subject to it. Stockwell and Lamb appealed.
Court of Appeal
The lead judgment was given by the Lord Chancellor, Lord Hatherley. He noted the difficulty of leaving property in the hands of those who had procured it by fraud. He reviewed the existing authorities on the subject critically, and expressly disapproved Carter v Carter (1857) 3 K&J 617, 69 ER 1256. He held there was nothing in the case to put Stockwell and Lamb of notice of the rights of the beneficiaries of the Pilcher trust. Held:
...it is immaterial whether the purchaser knows or not that another has an equitable interest prior to his own, provided that he did not know that fact upon paying his purchase-money. It may perhaps be sufficient in all possible cases for the purchaser to say, "I am not to be sued in equity at all. I hold what was conveyed to me by one in possession, who was, or pretended to be, seised, and who conveyed to me without my having notice of another equitable title;" and that the Plaintiff in equity must disprove the plea before he can proceed any further with his suit.
James LJ added a short concurring judgment, stating: "once you have arrived at the conclusion that the purchaser is a purchaser for valuable consideration without notice, the Court has not right to ask him, and has no right to put him to contest the question, how he is going to defend himself".
Mellish LJ also added a short concurring judgment, rejecting the enlarged view of constructive notice proposed by the Master of the Rolls in the court below. He stated: "The general rule seems to be laid down in the clearest terms by all the great authorities in equity, and has been acted on for a great number of years, namely, that this Court will not take an estate from a purchaser who bought for valuable consideration without notice".
Commentary
Jeffrey Hackney cites the case as fundamental to the understanding of not only the bona fide purchaser rule in English trust law, but the fundamental nature of the jurisdiction of equity itself. He argues that the case shows that equity is only prepared to intervene in specific cases, and so has no jurisdiction to act outside of that limited remit. Hence the term "equity's darling" is misleading: equity did not favour the purchaser, so much as ignore him entirely.

Battle of Bellavista was the final confrontation of the Chilean 1826 campaign to dislodge the Royalists from Chiloé Archipelago. On January 13 Chilean forces were able to capture three small gun boats from the Royalists in Ancud in the Battle of Pudeto. The battle began in the morning of January 14 with a Chilean advance on Ancud. In face of this and the fire of naval and land-based artillery royalist troops retreated to the Fort of San Carlos. As the Chileans began to surround the Spanish positions Quintanilla ordered a retreat to the heights of Bellavista where he hoped to put up some resistance. However, the demoralised royalist troops were not in a mood to fight so by late evening Quintanilla ordered a retreat south along the road to Castro. Agüi Fort in Lacuy Peninsula surrendered on January 15. Quintanilla capitulated on January 18 after negotiating the conditions.

Vin ToBaining (died 1995) was one of the first six elected indigenous members of the colonial-era Legislative Council of Papua and New Guinea, between 1961 and 1963. Subsequently, he was involved in the formation of the Pangu Party in 1967, which went on the form the government of Papua New Guinea (PNG) when the country became independent in 1975.
Early life
Vin ToBaining was a Tolai from what is now the East New Britain Province of PNG. He came from a farming family. His date of birth is unknown but he is known to have been over 80 when he died.
Political involvement
ToBaining was a strong supporter of local-level government. He was elected as president of the Vunamami local government council in 1951 and subsequently of the Gazelle local government council. He was instrumental in the formation of the Tolai Cocoa Project in the 1950s, designed to improve the quality of cocoa-processing facilities for local farmers on the Gazelle Peninsula. When the Australian administration of the Territory of Papua and New Guinea decided that the Legislative Council of Papua and New Guinea should have six elected Papua New Guinean members in the 1961 elections, ToBaining was elected to represent New Britain, as a member of the United Progress Party. In 1961, he was chosen to be a member of the Australian delegation to the United Nations General Assembly.
In 1964, the Territory of Papua and New Guinea introduced a new 64-member House of Assembly, which had 54 elected members. In the 1964 election ToBaining failed to be elected in the East New Britain constituency, being soundly defeated by Koriam Urekit. In 1967, nine members of the House of Assembly came together to form the Pangu Party, together with others that included Michael Somare, the future prime minister of an independent Papua New Guinea, and ToBaining, who became one of its four rotating chairmen. In the 1968 elections ToBaining was again defeated, this time by Oscar Tammur. Subsequently, he left the Pangu Party and became president of the newly formed Melanesian Independence Party, which had a policy of achieving independence for the islands of the Territory of Papua and New Guinea, specifically New Britain, New Ireland, Bouganville, and the Admiralty Islands.
Death
ToBaining died on 2 April 1995 in his home village in East New Britain.

Sāstrā lbaeng is a genre of medieval Khmer literature often made of fantastic adventure romances.
They were written in verse with a rich and elaborate vocabulary and used to entertain the audience via a public reader or chanter.
Etymology
In Khmer language, sāstrā lbaeng translates as "works for pleasure".
History
The 17th century witnessed the appearance of, lengthy verse-novels which recounted the ancient Jātaka tales.
The oldest example, Khyang Sang (The Conch Shell), dates from 1729. Portraying the Buddhist concept of karma, many of the sāstrā lbaeng were used by monks as texts to teach Khmer boys to read and write.
Since 1980, purely secular sāstrā lbaeng have appeared whereas in the past the Buddhist background pervaded all elements Cambodian culture.
Some of these works, written on palm-leaf manuscripts, were cleaned and microfilmed with aid funding for the National Library in the early 1990s. Many of the palm leaf texts documented in these films have since been lost, because they had been stored in canisters in non-climate-controlled offices in Cambodia. The reels – the only surviving copies – are degrading and are at risk of being lost as well without proper preservation. Digitization of the manuscripts began in 2019, under the guidance of the Buddhist Digital Resource Center.
Genre characterization
Apocryphal tales of the Buddha
The majority of sāstrā lbaeng are based around popular Buddhist tales particularly those contained in the apocryphal Jātaka collection known as Paññāsa Jātaka, a foremost example being the story of Vorvong and Sorvong.
A stereotypical structure
The literary elements of the sāstrā lbaeng include three parts:
an introduction or eulogy which is found in classical Pāli literature to praise the Three Gems (Buddha, Dharma and Sańgha), while the later Khmer eulogy also request for being blessed with an auspicious. This eulogy is almost systematically closed off by the poet's excuses and disclaimer,
a body or Atītavatthu, originating most often from the Jātaka literature, Mahanipata Jātaka, and its imitations, Paññāsa Jātaka, while some are purely fictional folk tales
an ending or Samodhāna, which states which characters are derived from the time of Buddha.
A sentimental education through chanting
Sāstrā lbaeng were used widely in the monastery-based education of the laity, and even today traditionalist monks continue to chant versified romances based around the Buddha's past lives and the like, in a spare and stylized manner known as smot.

"Still in Hollywood" is a song from American alternative rock band Concrete Blonde, which was released in 1986 as the lead single from their debut studio album Concrete Blonde. The song was written by Johnette Napolitano, and produced by Earle Mankey and Concrete Blonde.
Background
"Still in Hollywood" was released in December 1986 as Concrete Blonde's debut single after they signed to I.R.S. Records earlier in the year. I.R.S. launched the band with the release of the single and its video which, according to the label's vice president of sales, Barbara Bolan, allowed them to introduce the band at their "street-level best". The single and the band's self-titled debut album were successful in gaining the band a large cult following.
Speaking of the song's reception, including at the band's live shows, Napolitano told the LA Weekly in 1987, "It's the weirdest thing in the world seeing kids in Toronto singing that song. Kids love it. In Syracuse, we asked some guys why they sang that song, and they went, 'cause it rocks, man!' Even people who've never been to Hollywood identify with it. And kids come up and say they hate the towns they live in, and even apologize for their towns."
Music video
The song's music video was directed by Jane Simpson and produced by Tina Silvey. It was shot on location in Hollywood over the course of three days. Napolitano told the Sun-Sentinel in 1987, "It was a lot of fun, it practically made itself. It was really a blast." The footage includes Napolitano's own residence which had been condemned and was expected to collapse due to land movement. Napolitano had to vacate the house around the time the band signed to I.R.S. Records.
The video achieved light rotation on MTV and peaked at number 30 in the US Cash Box Top 40 Music Videos chart in March 1987. Speaking to Billboard in 1987, Napolitano said of the video's success, "We didn't bend over backward to get on MTV by putting chicks in bikinis in our video. I.R.S. really made the video for the college market, and they didn't expect it to get played on MTV at all. They were surprised."
Critical reception
On its release, Kent Zimmerman of The Gavin Report described "Still in Hollywood" as a "rocker" and added, "Those of us into mass urban transit will relate to the lunacy depicted in the lyrics and brash chord work." Terry Atkinson of the Los Angeles Times described the song as "one of the best love-hate odes ever recorded about Hollywood" and noted its "punk/pop energy". Discussing the song's music video, which he gave a rating of 85 out of 100, he drew comparisons to director Jane Simpson's previous work on the video for Thelonious Monster's "Try", noting how she "applie[s] the same dizzying approach" to "Still in Hollywood". He wrote, "Simpson's anything-goes camera is constantly zooming and tilting and moving from one location to another, and into the predominant grainy black-and-white imagery she throws speeded-up effects, frantic editing, color animation and a whole lot else."
Jim Farber of the Daily News noted the song's "vintage late-'70s spunk" and added that Napolitano "helps considerably [by] conjuring up a combination of Martha Davis and Poly Styrene". He also commented on the "slash-'n'-burn style" video, which he felt was "aided by effectively ratty black-and-white photography" and "manages to block the sunshine from its L.A. setting and show you the Hollywood underneath". Gene Armstrong of The Arizona Daily Star praised the "pleasing" song's "maelstrom of tense, angry emotions, which are lent a stabilizing air by Napolitano's uneasy resolve". He was also favorable of the video, noting the "beautiful" and "grainy" footage with its "churning montages of spinning camera angles, fish-eye lens shots and rapid-fire footage". He added that the "raw, amateurish animation looks like graffiti on the screen".
In a review of Concrete Blonde, Greg Burliuk of The Kingston Whig-Standard noted how the band's "street-wise lyrics verge on the poetic" and described "Still in Hollywood" as "a vivid portrayal of street life in Tinsel Town". William Ruhlmann retrospectively wrote for AllMusic, "The song borders on punk rock, as Mankey repeats the same riff over and over and Napolitano spits out the angry lyric like Exene Cervenka."

Gara Boyuk Khanim Castle () is one of the two Shusha castles that have survived to nowadays (the second is Panahali Khan's castle). The inscription above the entrance to the castle says that it was built in 1182 AH (1768).
By the order of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Azerbaijan dated with 2 August 2001, the castle was taken under the state protection as an architectural monument of national importance (No. 339).
History
For the overwhelming majority of the feudal cities, there was characteristic the presence of fortified citadels built within the city on naturally protected hills. These citadels, which were the architectural and planning dominant of the newly created cities, housed the palace complex, fortifications and other structures designed to serve the ruler and ensure his safety. In Azerbaijan, in the 16-18th centuries, the rulers' citadel was called Icheri Gala (the inner fortress), sometimes Bala Gala (the small fortress) or Ark (as, for example, the citadel of Tabriz).
Usually the construction of a feudal city began with the construction of the ruler's citadel. During the construction of Shusha, due to the peculiar and strategic advantageous qualities of the Shusha plateau, the construction of castles, including the one of Panahali Khan himself, was carried out simultaneously with the construction of the defensive walls of the fortress. According to Mirza Adygozel bey, during the reign of Panahali Khan, “spacious houses and high palaces” were built in Shusha for the members of the Khan's family.
Only two castles located in the southeastern part of Shusha have survived to nowadays. One of them is the castle of Gara Boyuk Khanim, standing on a hill, the second is the castle of Panahali Khan, which stands at the edge of a cliff over a deep ravine.
Architectural features
The architectural originality of the castles in the Shusha fortress attracted the attention of the travelers and guests of the city. For example, in the middle of the 19th century, the newspaper Kavkaz noted:
Focusing on the undated master plan, we can conclude that almost all Shusha castles had the same configuration being rectangular in plan, and surrounded, on all four sides, by defensive walls with three-quarter towers at the corners. From the inside, the premises were attached to these walls serving as housing for the inhabitants of the castles. The volumetric-spatial and planning solution of the Shusha castles was created under the influence of the Shahbulag castle architecture.
The main entrances of the castles were facing north, similarly to the Shahbulag castle, being protected from a direct access by prismatic gate towers with L-shaped passages extended outward.
The one-story residential and utility rooms included in the palace complex were located along the inner perimeter of the building. On their roofs, at a height of 1.5 meters, loopholes were placed in the walls of the castle. Thus, the roofs of the residential buildings were used as defensive platforms.
Although the main entrance of the castle, facing north, was designed in the same way as the entrance to the palace of Ibrahimkhalil Khan, here the prismatic volume protruding forward was two-story. On the second floor of the palace lived its owner together with the family members. The walls of the rooms and the arched ceilings were decorated with paintings.
The towers of the fortress walls surrounding the palace complex were two-tiered and narrowed as their height increased. The towers had a domed roof.
Both the ceiling and the walls of the palace building were carefully and neatly built from well-hewn small stones.

Between Waves is a Canadian psychological thriller film, directed by Virginia Abramovich and released in 2020. The film stars Fiona Graham as Jamie, a photographer from Toronto whose partner Isaac (Luke Robinson), a quantum physicist who was researching the concept of travel between parallel dimensions, turns up dead, and Jamie then begins to see visions of him claiming that he succeeded in his research and imploring her to go through with their planned trip to São Miguel Island so that she can join him.
The film's cast also includes Sebastian Deery, Stacey Bernstein, Edwige Jean-Pierre, Miguel Damião, Eliya Sekulova, Jessica Barrera, Grayson Stephen, Juliet Lewsaw, Lora Burke and Holden Levack.
The film premiered in October 2020 at the Portland Film Festival, and had its Canadian premiere in December at the Whistler Film Festival, before going into commercial release in September 2021.
Critical response
Jim Slotek of Original Cin rated the film B-minus, writing that "There’s a dream-state to Abramovich’s film, an is-she-crazy? consideration fueled by the early mention that Jamie has given up anti-anxiety drugs because… well, she’s also throwing up a lot early in the movie. It’s mentioned more than once that giving up 'benzos' cold turkey can cause hallucinations." He concluded that "The ambiguous parts of Between Waves are its strongest. But the left field plot twist that attempts to tie it all together made me rethink what sympathy I ever had for the central characters. Between Waves is interesting but flawed. But for me at least, the interesting parts were worth the watch.
Alisha Mughal of Exclaim! rated it 7 out of 10, writing that "Between Waves is a gripping debut, with entertaining mysterious and philosophical elements that work well together to create an absorbing friction. Its shortcomings (certain supporting performances fall flat) can be easily overlooked for Graham's wrenching portrayal of Jamie and for Abramovich and Andrews' compelling storytelling. Virginia Abramovich is a Canadian talent to not only keep an eye out for but also to be proud of."
Awards
Stephen Krecklo received a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Original Score at the 10th Canadian Screen Awards in 2022.

Zoom! is a 1989 poetry collection by the British poet Simon Armitage, and his first full-length collection. It was selected as a Poetry Book Society Choice, shortlisted for the Whitbread Poetry Award, and was made the PBS Autumn choice.
Author
Simon Armitage is an English poet, playwright and novelist. He was appointed as Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom in 2019. He is professor of poetry at the University of Leeds and became Oxford Professor of Poetry when he was elected to the four-year part-time appointment from 2015 to 2019. He was born and raised in Marsden, West Yorkshire. At the start of his career, and at the time Zoom!, his first full-length poetry collection, was published, he was working as a probation officer.
Book
Publication history
Zoom! was published in 1989 as a paperback by Bloodaxe Books in Hexham, Northumberland. Many of the collected poems were first published in three of Armitage's pamphlets, namely the 1986 Human Geography, the 1987 The Distance Between Stars and the 1987 The Walking Horses.
Synopsis
Zoom! is a collection of 61 poems, 49 of them less than a page in length. They are grouped in a single list. There is no introduction, and there are no illustrations.
Awards
The book was selected as a Poetry Book Society Choice. It was shortlisted for the Whitbread Poetry Award. It was also the PBS Autumn choice; John Harvey of Slow Dancer, which published some of Armitage's works including The Walking Horses in 1988, commented that "this kind of success is not so much rare as unheard of."
Analysis
Poetry critics have stated that Zoom! marked Armitage as an exciting new voice in English poetry, and gained him wide critical acclaim. Jo Livingstone, in The New Yorker, calls Armitage "a decidedly modern poet", citing the collection's title, albeit "one who is known for his accessibility and his respect for the performative aspect of poetry."
Recalling the period when he was writing Zoom!, Armitage stated that he had no realistic expectation of being published, so writing poetry was "just for fun", something that is inevitably lost after becoming "an 'author'". He quoted a "blurb writer" who wrote that "Zoom! rocketed [Armitage] to poetic stardom", noting that he was still working in probation four years later. Stating that the book was "never intended as a manifesto", he writes that what Zoom! actually achieved was to magnify everyday life in semi-rural West Yorkshire, the twenty-something Armitage "trying to articulate inner landscapes against a backdrop of knackered industries and sweeping moors, using a language and dialect passed down through generations but spiked with the vernacular of postmodernism and post-punk."
Emma Baldwin writes on Poem Analysis that the title poem, Zoom!, which appears last in the book, makes use of a variety of literary devices including alliteration, enjambment, and imagery. The poem is in free verse but has structure, each couplet consisting of a long line and a much shorter line, in Baldwin's view forcing the reader to move their eyes rapidly from side to side, creating a rapid pace.
The poet and novelist Ruth Padel wrote in The Independent that the book "made real-life speech and activity the centre of a tungsten-tough poetry of deadpan flair and casual, leave-it-there humour. The cleverness was in the angle. Armitage wrote about grow-bags, walk-in wardrobes, brake- fluid, cashing the Giro, dumping granny at the old people's home."

Alan Harold Luther (born December 14, 1940) is an American physicist, specializing in condensed matter physics.
Education and career
Luther graduated in electrical engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with a B.S. in 1962 and an M.S. in 1963. In 1967 he graduated from the University of Maryland with a Ph.D. in physics under the supervision of Richard Allan Ferrell. As a postdoc Luther was from 1967 to 1969 at the Technical University of Munich and from 1969 to 1971 at Brookhaven National Laboratory. At Harvard University he was from 1971 to 1973 an assistant professor and from 1973 to 1976 an associate professor. At Nordita in Copenhagen he was from 1976 a full professor from 1976 until his retirement as professor emeritus.
In 1974 he found, with Victor Emery, exact solutions for one-dimensional electron gas models (Luther-Emery liquids). Luther's research also deals with boson-fermion duality, conformal field theories, the generalized Bethe ansatz, spin chains and two-dimensional models of statistical mechanics, strongly correlated electron systems in two dimensions, and high-temperature superconductivity.
For the academic year 1975–1976 he was a Sloan Research Fellow. In 2001 he received (with Victor Emery) the Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Prize for "fundamental contribution to the theory of interacting electrons in one dimension."

Monocrotaline (MCT) is a pyrrolizidine alkaloid that is present in plants of the Crotalaria genus. These species can synthesise MCT out of amino acids and can cause liver, lung and kidney damage in various organisms. Initial stress factors are released intracellular upon binding of MCT to BMPR2 receptors and elevated MAPK phosphorylation levels are induced, which can cause cancer in Homo sapiens. MCT can be detoxified in rats via oxidation, followed by glutathione-conjugation and hydrolysis.
Origin
MCT occurs in the seeds of certain species of the genus Crotalaria, for example, Crotalaria spectabilis and Crotalaria mucronata. MCT is a chemical with pesticide properties and therefore serves as a defence mechanism to fend off predators. However, it can also lead to the poisoning of mammals and birds.
The butterfly Utetheisa ornatrix also benefits from MCT by using it as protection. The larvae of the butterfly feed almost exclusively on Crotalaria seeds, where MCT is accumulated in their bodies. In this way, they are protected from predators such as spiders for the rest of their lives (even after pupation as butterflies).
Toxicity
MCT is an acute toxic substance. The toxicity of MCT is dose-dependent, it can harm both organs and genetic material (genotoxicity). The organs that will be targeted are the liver (hepatotoxicity), the kidneys (nephrotoxicity) and the lungs (pneumotoxicity). MCT falls into Category 3 toxicity for oral ingestion and Category 2 toxicity for carcinogenicity according to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).
Studies concluded that the ingestion of MCT will cause centrilobular necrosis, pulmonary fibrosis and increase in blood urea nitrogen. These conclusions are based on the models that were used during these studies as these effects were caused in rats instead of humans. During the studies it was also concluded that mice are more resilient to MCT than rats, meaning that more mice survived the experiments than rats.
Biosynthesis of monocrotaline
The biosynthesis of MCT involves condensation of monocrotalic acid (MCA), which is derived from L-isoleucine, and retronecine, which is derived from putrescine.
MCA is formed from L-isoleucine and a synthon for propionate of uncertain origin.
Retronecine is synthesized from L-arginine via a multi-step pathway involving putrescine and spermidine intermediates:
Putrescine is converted to spermidine by addition of a propylamino group from decarboxylated S-adenosylmethioninamine (4: spermidine synthase). Spermidine and another molecule of putrescine react to form the symmetric homospermidine with loss of 1,3-diaminopropane (5: homospermidine synthase).
Oxidation (likely catalysed by 6: copper-dependent diamine oxidases) to 4,4’-iminodibutanal results into the cyclization of pyrrolizidine-1-carbaldehyde, which is reduced to 1-hydroxymethyl pyrrolizidine (likely catalysed by 7: alcohol dehydrogenase). To form the final product retronecine, 1-hydroxymethyl pyrrolizidine is desaturated and hydroxylated respectively by unknown enzymes.
MCA and retronecine are then condensed to form MCT via an unknown mechanism:
Biotransformation of monocrotaline
MCT is detoxified in rats by the liver via divergent biotransformation reactions. These reactions proceed as follows:
In Rats, MCT is first oxidised by the biotransformation enzyme cytochrome P450 (CYP) to form dehydro MCT. In this phase 1 reaction a double carbon-carbon bond is introduced out of a single carbon-carbon bond.
After the phase 1 reaction, the oxidised intermediate can either undergo hydrolysis to form monocrotalic acid and dihydropyrolizine or perform group transfer with glutathione to form MCA and a glutathione-conjugated dihydropyrolizine (GS-conjugation). These metabolites are more hydrophilic than MCT and could therefore be more easily excreted by the kidneys, which results in less exposure from MCT to the liver. The phase 2 reactions are thus classified as the detoxifying reactions during the biotransformation of MCT in rats.
During the phase 2 reactions, dehydro MCT can react with nucleophilic biological macromolecules (NuS) which is a toxic intermediate. Addition of such molecules may result into Cytotoxicity. Dehydro MCT may also undergo further toxification after hydrolysis, as dihydropyrolizine can be further oxidized to 7-dihydro-1-hydroxymethyl-5H-pyrrolizine (DHP). This intermediate can bind to DNA which may cause Genotoxicity.
Note that the biotransformation routes may differ based on the studied organism.
Mechanism of action
MCT aggregates on and activates the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) of pulmonary artery endothelial cells to trigger endothelial damage and, ultimately, induces pulmonary hypertension. MCT binds to the extracellular domain of the CaSR (calcium-sensing receptor). Thereby, the assembly of CaSR is enhanced and triggers the mobilisation of calcium signalling, and damages pulmonary artery endothelial cells. In addition, MCT strengthens this effect by binding to the bone morphogenetic protein receptor type II (BMPR2), which is a transmembrane receptor. BMPR2 inhibition occurs which in turn induces a blockade of BMPR1 receptor activation via phosphorylation. Inhibiting this process disturbs cell differentiation processes and ossification. Interference with these receptors induce pulmonary arterial hypertension.
MAPK is a mitogen activated protein kinase that gets activated upon BMPR2 activation. The protein kinase in turn phosphorylates p38 via a reinforced cascade of intracellular signals. It also activates p21 which has a regulating role in the cell cycle. However, MCT administration inhibits this process via a blockade of BMPR2. Cytokines such as TNF-α are released which cause activation of inflammation mechanisms, attracting neutrophils among others. Furthermore, inducible nitric oxide synthases (iNOS) are upregulated upon MCT induced cellular stress, whereas endothelial NOS (eNOS) gets downregulated. The cytokine TGF-β (also released by macrophages via chemotaxis during inflammation reactions in a positive feedback loop with TNF-α) is a transforming growth factor that is upregulated as a result of iNOS increasement, contributing to pulmonary artery proliferation. Increased levels of iNOS also stimulate caspase-3 activity which increases apoptosis levels.

The People's Consultative Assembly of the Republic of Indonesia (), abbreviated as MPR, the bicameral legislature of Indonesia, passed a series of Resolutions () or TAP MPR throughout the 1960s, to the very last issued in 2003.
List of MPR and MPRS resolutions
As between 1960 and 1971 no election for the MPR members happened, the assembly were formed in a provisional measure, known as the Provisional People's Consultative Assembly (), which issued TAP MPRS, though there were no difference between the resolutions issued by either by MPRS or MPR.
Resolutions of the MPRS, 1960 - 1968
The beginning of Sukarno's Guided Democracy were marked with the return to the 1945 Constitution, replacing the parliamentary 1950 Provisional Constitution. With it the formation of Provisional People's Consultative Assembly (MPRS), which the 1945 constitution prescribed that it consisted of members of the People's Representative Council (DPR), regional representatives (), and interests group representatives (). Prior to this, in 1955, Indonesia held its first legislative election, and thus the 1955-1960 members of the DPR were popularly elected (which at this point they were considered transitional in nature, until next election).
In March 1960, the DPR unexpectedly rejected President Sukarno's government budget plan. He then proceeded to dissolve the DPR and replaced it with the People's Representative Council-Mutual Assistance () (DPR-GR). Its members were no longer the previously elected representatives, but rather the president's appointee, who could be appointed or dismissed by the president's will.
Resolutions of the MPR, 1973 - 2003
On 3 July 1971, Indonesian government managed to hold a long-delayed legislative election which had been planned to follow the first election in 1955.
Two years after the election, between 12-24 March 1973, the 920 members of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR), which were composed of members of the People's Representative Council (DPR), representatives of the armed forces (ABRI), as well as regional representatives, were able to held the first general session of the MPR in Jakarta, which proceeded to formally elect Suharto as President of Indonesia and Hamengkubuwono IX as Vice President of Indonesia. As the Speaker of the MPR for this session is Idham Chalid, who also served as Speaker of the DPR. In total, eleven Resolutions were enacted during 1973 General Session.
The next MPR met in session was during the 1978 General Session of the MPR, formed as result of the 1977 election. Since then, MPR met at least once in every five years, with the speaker of the DPR also served as the speaker of the MPR.
Under Resolution number I/MPR/2003, every MPR and MPRS resolutions enacted prior to this were reviewed in its material value and legal status. The MPR then grouped all 139 remaining resolutions into six categories, as follows:
Meanwhile under the following Resolution number II/MPR/2003 on the fifth amendment of the 1999 MPR Rules of Procedure, the assembly renounced its authority to issue further Resolutions and Broad Outlines of State Policy, and limited its authority on seven items, as follows:
Amend and enact the 1945 Constitution of Indonesia;
Inaugurate the President and/or Vice President;
Dismiss the President and/or Vice President within their office term;
Elect the President/and or Vice President in the event of their office left vacant;
Amend and enact MPR Rules of Procedure;
Elect and Inaugurate leaderships of the MPR; and
Hear the President's accountability speech regarding the government's performance on the 1999-2004 Broad Outlines of State Policy.
Reformasi period
On the 2004 General Session, the MPR heard its last presidential accountability speech. From 2004 onward, president and vice president were directly elected in a general election, and thus MPR lost its power to elect president and vice president, or to decide on a president's accountability. In addition, MPR lost its supremacy over other state institutions and its right as the sole executor of the people's sovereignty, and is also on equal footing as other state institutions, i.e. the President and the Supreme Court.
Under Article 2 and 3 of the Constitution and the 2014 Legislatures Act (), which later amended in 2014, 2018, and 2019, and supplemented by various other laws, authority of the MPR is limited on:
Amend and enact the Constitution of Indonesia;
Inaugurate the President-elect and Vice President-elect in a plenary session;
Remove the President and/or Vice President within their office term, following DPR's articles of impeachment have been found to be proven by the Constitutional Court in a decision, and after the president and/or vice president were given chance to explain their action in a plenary session;
Inaugurate the vice president as President in the event of the president's death in office, resignation from office, dismissal from office, or unable to perform their duties;
Elect a vice president from two candidates submitted by the President within sixty days, in the event of the vice-president office were left vacant ;
Elect a president and vice president in the event of both persons left their office vacant at the same time within their office term within thirty days, from a list of two pairs of president- and vice-president-candidate submitted by a political party or a coalition of parties whose presidential pair managed to achieve the most and second-most votes in the previous election, to serve until the end of the office term;
Enact the MPR Rules of Procedure and MPR Code of Ethics.
Meanwhile, the remaining MPR Resolution were still included within the official Indonesian hierarchy of legislations, only below the Constitution, but above Acts and Government Regulations in-lieu-of Acts.

The World Vaisnava Association, officially, World Vaisnava Association — Visva Vaisnava Raj Sabha (WVA–VVRS), is an international Gaudiya Vaishnava religious organization, which had been established in 1994 by some Gaudiya leaders for coordination the global mission. The name of organization refers to the Visva Vaisnava Raj Sabha ("Royal World Vaisnava Association") formed in 1885 by Bhaktivinoda Thakur and to Vaishnavism in whole. Howsoever, de facto, the WVA was founded and includes only Gaudiya Vaishnavas, and barely from splinted branches of the revivalist reformist order of the first half of the 20th century, Gaudiya Math.
Already in February 1994 the leaders published initial copy of the periodical World Vaisnava Association Newsletter. In November 1994 a founding meeting joined 120 participants. Among the WVA prominent founding members were the 97-year-old (who became the WVA president), Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha (the vice-president), and Tripurari Swami. The Association united most of the named branches. At the same time, such well-known successors of the Gaudiya Math as the Gaudiya Mission and the ISKCON are not its members. The ISKCON participates only by some figures, such as Bhaktisvarupa Damodar Swami.
The WVA recognizes solely traditional denominations, those perceive extraordinal role of the Gaudiya Math, and are not promoting any particular teachings (as example of rejected novation, the ideas of the ISKCON Revival Movement).
The main WVA forums are twice a year organizational meetings. Thou, as notes in 2004 the scholar, Jan Brzezinski, there is little real cooperation among these branches, and the World Vaisnava Association has not "met with much success."

Verquere (Dutch verkeer, German Verkehren, French revertier, Swedish förkeren, Danish forkering, Norwegian forkæring, Icelandic forkæringur) is a historical tables game. It was played by two players on the same tables board and with the same set of checkers as backgammon.
History
Verquere was probably invented in the Netherlands, and the first written reference is from the end of the 14th century. During the 17th and the 18th century, the game was widely played and very popular in the Netherlands, Germany, and the Nordic countries. It was also known in Great Britain and France, although backgammon and trictrac, respectively, were more common there. During the 19th century, verquere lost in popularity and was eventually eclipsed by other games.
In Sweden and Iceland, verquere became so dominant that the generic terms for tables games—bräde and kotra, respectively—were used interchangeably as synonyms for verquere. The Icelandic variant of the game vanished during the end of the 19th century, and the term kotra in modern Icelandic is used for backgammon. The Swedish variant, on the other hand, maintained its popularity and evolved into the game that now is known as svenskt brädspel ("Swedish Tables"). Swedish championships are played annually at the Vasa museum in Stockholm.
Rules
Verquere is played on a rectangular tables board with twelve triangular field, so called points, along each long side. Each group of six points forms a quarter. One player has fifteen black checkers, and the other player fifteen white checkers. The players place all fifteen checkers on the far right point on the opposite side of the board. This point is called the player’s home. The main objective of the game is to move the checkers anticlockwise around the board and be the first to bear the checkers off.
The players take turns rolling two dice. A player who, for example, rolls five 5-3 moves one checker five points forward and another checker three points forward. The player may also move the same checker eight points forward, but the checker must then make a touchdown on either the third or fifth point from the start. If a player cannot move a checker for one or both dice, he must give up that part of the roll.
If both dice show the same number, the player has rolled a double. Each die in a double counts twice, which means that the player must move four times for the number of eyes shown
If a checker lands or makes a touchdown on a point where the opponent has a single checker, that checker is hit. The opponent must pick it up from the board—place it on the bar, in modern terminology—and re-enter it in his first quarter. The checker is re-entered on the point in the player’s first quarter that has the same number as the number of eyes on the dice. A player may not move any other checker on the board as long as he has one or more checkers on the bar that must be re-entered.
Two or more checkers form a closed point, which under normal circumstances is protected. A player may not land, make a touchdown, or re-enter a checker on a point that is closed by the opponent. A single checker on a point is called a blot.
On the opposite side of the board, the players may only close the point on the far left. That point is called the player's head. On their own side of the board, the players may close any point.
Jean and Juncker
A player may not re-enter checkers on points where he has checkers of his own or points that are closed by the opponent. If the number of checkers on the bar and the number of points that are occupied by the player’s own checkers exceed six, the player can never re-enter all his checkers. The player has become Jean and loses a double game.
If a player has fewer checkers on the bar than required for Jean but more checkers than there are empty points and blots of the opponent in his first quarter, the player cannot re-enter all checkers before the opponent vacates some of his closed points in that quarter. The blocked player has become Juncker. He has not lost the game, but he must pass his turn until the opponent has made enough room for the player to re-enter all checkers on the bar.
Bearing checkers off
A player who has rounded up all his checkers in his fourth and last quarter may bear the checkers off to an imaginary twenty-fifth point. If a die shows more eyes than are required to move the backmost checker to the twenty-fifth point, the player may still bear it off. A player who bears off his last checker wins the game.
All checkers on the last point
A player who manages to place all his checkers on the last (twenty-fourth) point does not have to bear the checkers off, but immediately wins a double game.
Five blots and five closed points
Before a game, the players could agree to play with "five blots and five closed points". "Five blots" means that the players may not close any point until they have moved five blots from their home. "Five closed points" means that closed points become vulnerable if a player builds a prime with more than five consecutive closed points. If the opponent lands, makes a touchdown, or re-enters a checker on a closed point in such a prime, all the checkers on that point are hit and must be re-entered by the player.

Inviolata, integra et casta es Maria (You are inviolate, untouched, and chaste, Mary) is a motet by Josquin des Prez. One of his most famous compositions, it divides the cantus firmus into three sections and is scored for five voices—two carrying the canonical melody and three free.
History
Composed by Josquin des Prez, the motet first appeared in print around 1519, with the publication of Motetti de la corona, libro quarto by Ottaviano Petrucci. The cantus firmus is a twelfth-century Gregorian melody titled Inviolata that was traditionally performed during Candlemas; Josquin based his composition on a particular version of Inviolata sung at the Basilica of Our Lady, Tongeren.
Structure
The motet is scored for five voices: three free ones and two singing the cantus firmus, which is divided into three sections and expressed in whole notes. The time interval between the voices singing the cantus firmus decreases with each section, from three breves to two to one. In the opening bars (1–15), perfect modus is employed, creating a dignified atmosphere, whereas imperfect modus is established at the start of the second part. The five-breve phrase "O benigna, O regina, O Maria" is repeated thrice in the third section, with all five voices singing the same chords. In total, the motet is made up of some 144 (12 x 12) breves, a reference to the "holy" figure associated with Mary and the "woman of the apocalypse" with "a crown of twelve stars" around her head in the Book of Revelation.
Legacy
The motet is one of Josquin's most famous works, and was reworked by several composers especially during the early sixteenth century, such as Antonio de Cabezón and Philippe Verdelot.

Themes from Venus is an album by the American band Love Tractor. It was released in 1988, and marked a return to an independent label, after the bankruptcy of RCA-affiliated Big Time Records.
The band broke up after promoting the album, but reunited a few times over the course of the 1990s; while promoting the album, Love Tractor became the first rock band to play at Jamestown, Virginia. Love Tractor also promoted Themes from Venus by touring with Too Much Joy and by opening for the B-52s on their Cosmic Thing tour.
Themes from Venus will be rereleased in remastered versions on March 18, 2022, on Propeller Sound Recordings. The CD and digital versions will include six new mixes, including some by Brendan O’Brien.
Production
The album was produced by Mitch Easter and Love Tractor. The band recorded the songs they had, without doing any preproduction work before entering the studio.
Critical reception
The Globe and Mail considered the album to be the band's best to that point, calling it "full of quirky invention and strange, funny pop sounds." Spin deemed the songs "lusty and inebriating, an extended headrush without the hangover." The Chicago Tribune stated that, "wrapped in a deceptively easygoing aura, Love Tractor's full, rich-textured sound nonetheless hits a propulsive groove more than once, layering guitar lines that alternate between fat, echoey notes and icy little stabs over a solid rhythmic underpinning from bass and drums."
The St. Petersburg Times determined that "it's a cunning foray into densely textured, multilayered pop that belies their Athens roots and may be their best effort to date ... Themes From Venus isn't an artistic statement so much as a sonic playground, a therapeutic avenue for Easter and Love Tractor to escape their respective pigeonholes." The Calgary Herald noted that the band is "still a quirky and delightful blend of discarded pop riffs, odd instrumentals and strange lyrics to tickle one's eccentric fancies."
AllMusic wrote that "the tunes on Themes From Venus are longer and less structured than those on Outerspace Ship, the grooves are at once loopier and more prominent, and while most of the songs have vocals, the words take a definite back seat to the music."

Peak Road is a road in the Mid-Levels on Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. It is the only road to travel from Victoria Gap to Wan Chai Gap on Hong Kong Island. The Peak Road is a two-lane two-way traffic, which can take buses, minibuses and other vehicles. The highest altitude is about 420 meters.
Location
The Peak Road starts west of The Peak Tower and The Peak Galleria, and east of The Peak Lookout, namely the junction of Harlech Road, Mount Austin Road, Lugard Road, Old Peak Road and Findlay Road, passing Plunkett's Road, Mount Kellett Road, Peel Rise, Peak Police Station, Craigmin Road, Barker Road and Magazine Gap Road, ending in the Hong Kong Police Museum in Wan Chai Gap, namely Wan Chai Gap Road, Stubbs Road, Black's Link, Middle Gap Road, Mount Cameron Road, Aberdeen Reservoir Road and Coombe Road.
History
The former Peak Road originally referred to the current Old Peak Road, and the current Peak Road belonged to Stubbs Road at that time and was opened to traffic in 1923. On 1 September 1960, the Peak Road, which originally connected Central and the Peak, was renamed the Old Peak Road, while the section of Stubbs Road, which connected Wan Chai Gap and the Peak, was renamed Peak Road.
Landslides
On 17 June 1983, a landslide occurred on the Peak Road under torrential rain, and collapsed a section of the road several dozen meters long. A taxi passing by the area rolled down the hillside. Fortunately, neither the driver nor the two passengers were injured. . The Peak Road was closed for a week afterwards.
On 8 November 2021, at the junction of Peak Road and Coombe Road, due to the burst of the fresh water pipe, a large amount of fresh water gushed out, causing a landslide on a slope of 30 meters by 100 meters. No one was injured. The measures, heavy vehicles can not travel, and buses were changed to single-deck, and maintained until 19 November. Fortunately, reinforcement works have been carried out at this location, so a lot of sand and mud rushed down the mountain when the incident occurred, and the road was still sound, and no casualties were caused.

The Hamburg Scientific Foundation () was founded in Hamburg in 1907 to support academic research and its dissemination in that city.
Werner von Melle promoted the project from early 1907, raising 3.8 million marks by its foundation on 12 April 1907. One of its first appointments was Erich Marcks, the historian. William Stern and Karl Rathgen were attracted to Hamburg by the funds the foundation made available to them. Between 1908 and 1910 it funded significant research into ethnographic research in the Bismarck Archipelago and the Caroline Islands, located in German New Guinea. Also by financing the publication of academic journals the foundation contributed to the founding of the University of Hamburg in 1919. However assets previously calculated at 7M Marks were almost entirely written off in 1923 during the Hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic.

Dame Margaret Joyce Bishop (28 July 1896 – 7 June 1993) was an English educator who was head master of Holly Lodge High School for Girls in Smethwick from 1925 to 1935 and then of Godolphin and Latymer School for Girls in Hammersmith, West London between 1935 and 1963. She was associated with the primary school teacher training institute Froebel College, Roehampton and its associated Ibstock Place School of which she chaired the governors from 1964 to 1979. Bishop was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1953 before being upgraded to Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire ten years later.
Early life
On 28 July 1896, Bishop was born at The Glen, Oxford Road, Moseley, Kings Norton, Worcestershire, Birmingham. She was the second of three children to the lacquer manufacturer and silver plating business owner Charles Benjamin Bishop and his wife, Amy Stewart, Tindall. Bishop had an older sister. her family were of a middle-class background, and she was raised in the Christian faith. Illness halted her early education and thus she was privately educated at home until the age of nine. Bishop was then taught at Edgbaston High School, and came into contact with the working-class of Birmingham and Smethwick. In 1915, during the years of the First World War, she enrolled at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford, where she read English. She frequently contributed to the college's dramatic productions and she gained a third-class degree in 1918 after suffering from illness during her final examinations. Bishop became a feminist at the college and she sought equal rights and opportunities for women.
Career
Tutors personally recommended Bishop to The Hertfordshire and Essex High School, and she began teaching at the school in 1919. She remained at the school for the next six years, before at the age of 27, she was appointed head teacher at Holly Lodge High School for Girls in Smethwick, succeeding her sister. Bishop changed the attitudes and thoughts of those connected with the school, and nine pupils who went to the school were able to gain places at Oxbridge as well as other educational institutes within a decade. The conditions that she observed meant she became a campaigner for maintenance grants and free school dinners.
In 1935, Bishop accepted the invitation to become head teacher of the established, fee-paying Godolphin and Latymer School for Girls in Hammersmith, West London. At the school, she focused on developing strategic plans for planning and implementing projects. Bishop opted to evacuate the whole school to Newbury, Berkshire in September 1939 due to the threat of war. She eventually decided to return the school to London in July 1943. The school took on aided status following the passing of the Education Act 1944 but it remained an academic, selective school with no tutiton fees. Bishop was a member of the government working party that reported to the Ministry of Education in 1949 with wide recommendations seeking the recruitment of more women into the profession of teaching. She got involved in subsequent research to reverse the shortages caused by the decrease of unmarried graduate teachers, especially in girl's grammar schools, and the Association of Headmistresses and the Association of Assistant Mistresses was given the report in 1961.
She was chairman of the Association of Headmistresses from 1951 to 1952, delivering keynote speeches to the annual conferences that reflected her educational beliefs. Bishop was increasingly invited to sit on committees and governing bodies during this time. She served on the Secondary Schools Examinations Council, the National Advisory Council for the Training and Supply of Teachers and the University Grands Committee between 1961 and 1963 before retiring from Godolphin in 1963. For ten years, Bishop worked as a supervisory tutor at King's College London. She argued against the Labour Party's plants to implement a comprehensive education system in 1965 and defended grammar schools and governing body's independence. The decision of Godolphin to go independent in 1976 as a result of local reorganization led Bishop to raise substantial bursuary funding for it through the Godolphin and Latymer Bursary Fund.
Bishop was the United Kingdom's representative at the UNESCO conferences in Geneva and Montevideo in 1954. From 1958 until 1984, she was appointed to the governing board of the Royal Ballet School as a governor. Bishop took a keen interest in education in the school's young pupils and was for several years associated with the primary school teacher training institute Froebel College, Roehampton and its associated Ibstock Place School, of which she became chairperson of the governors in 1964 and left in 1979. She was an ardent opposer of the college amalgamating and reorganising when teacher training numbers decreased during the 1970s. Bishop was also a member of the Council for Professions Supplementary to Medicine, the Television Research Committee of the Home Office, as well as the Committee of Vice Chancellors and Principals on University entrance requirements.
Personal life
In the 1953 New Year Honours, Bishop was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire. Bishop was promoted to Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in the 1963 New Year Honours. On 7 June 1993, she died of bronchopneumonia at Queen Mary's Hospital, Roehampton. Bishop was cremated at Putney Vale Cemetery on the afternoon of 17 June 1993. On the afternoon of 4 October 1993, a memorial service was held for her in St Margaret's, Westminster.
Legacy
The Bishop Centre at the Godolphin and Latymer School was named in her memory. A bromide print of Bishop taken by the photographer Walter Bird in February 1963 is held in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery, London.

SM was an American made fighter-direction radar used for the ship ground-controlled interception (GCI) during World War II by the United States Navy. Variation included the SM-1.
SM radar
Microwave set with three axis stabilized antenna, installed on aircraft carriers to search for enemy planes, particularly low-flying and shadow planes, and to supply height, speed and course data so that a Fighter Director Officer can direct fighters to an interception. Can also be used to search for ships and periscopes. SM is correlated with search sets, such as SK, and with radio communication to planes. Has provisions for A and G-band IFF, and a built-in BO antenna. For night interception, AIA is required in planes.
SM has a reliable detection range of 35 miles on a medium bomber 500 ft. above optical horizon as surfaced submarines can be followed to horizon. Periscopes can be seen 6 miles or more, and buoys can be seen up to horizon. Range can be determined to ± 200 yds., or 1/4%, whichever is greater. Bearing can be determined to ± 1/2°. Elevation can be determined to ±1/3° if airplane is 21/2° or more above optical horizon. If plane is lower, data is less reliable. Accuracy of range difference between two targets is ± 50 yds. for separation of 500–10,000 yds. Elevation limit is 90°.
Spares, testing equipment and separate generator supplied. SM has 23 components weighing a total of about 9 tons. Largest unit is the antenna mount, at 131" high, with a diameter of 67" at base, and weighing about 4,600 lbs. The antenna is 6 ft. in diameter; 8-foot antennas will be installed on later sets. The console (76" x 65" x 24" — 1,800-2,000 lbs.) splits into 3 parts for installation.Minimum operators per shift required are two, plus one assistant radar officer. Recommended personnel: 15 per day. Power required is 45-65 KW, 440 V. 3-phase 60 cycle, supplied by motor generator set, or, in emergencies, from ship's supply.
USS Lexington (CV-16) was equipped with the first prototype of SM radar in March 1943, while USS Enterprise (CV-6) and USS Bunker Hill (CV-17) were equipped with the first two production models in October of the same year. 26 SM-1 variants were all produced and leased to the Royal Navy. SM was developed from the SCR-584 radar.
