The Battle of Cologne was part of Operation Lumberjack and refers to the Allied advance that took place from 5 to 7 March 1945, which led to the capture of Cologne.
Prelude
Before the outbreak of the Second World War Cologne was the 4th largest city in Germany and the largest city on the river Rhine, with a population of approximately 800,000 people. The city of Cologne was bombed by the Royal Air Force (RAF) in 262 separate air raids during World War II, this in response to the bombing of London at the start of the war. Cologne was an important military target, being a heavily industrialized city with many factories producing war supplies and the city also had a large railway network, used for the transportation of troops and weapons. A total of 34,711 long tons of bombs were dropped on the city, the last air raid was carried out on 2 March 1945. By the beginnning of March 1945 most of the city was destroyed, roughly 20,000 people remained in the city.
Battle
During the night of 3 March, Allied aircraft dropped propaganda leaflets over the city, telling its citizens to disobey the directives of the Nazi leadership, asking the inhabitants not to evacuate the city since they had nothing to fear from the advancing troops. The Allied columns approached Cologne from three directions, the 3rd Armored Division striking from the northwest, 104th Infantry Division coming from the west and 9th Armored Division clearing sections south of the city in conjunction with the 9th Infantry Division. On 5 March, the 3rd Armored Division launched a final advance on Cologne. On 6 March the American columns moved out of their positions toward the heart of the city.
Near the city centre there was an engagement with a German Panther tank; this skirmish was captured on film by US cameramen from the 165th Photo Signal Company. The German Panther was lying in ambush near the train station; two advancing Sherman tanks were slowed down by a pile of rubble. The Shermans got stuck in a narrow street, which made them an easy target for the German tank. Two of the Panther’s 75mm shells hit the turret of the leading Sherman, a third shell hit the tracks of the second Sherman tank behind it. A nearby Pershing tank was sent to take out the Panther, the two tanks were in each other's sight, but the German tank commander believing it to be a German tank, told his gunner to hold fire, he had never seen a Pershing. Finally the Panther tank was taken out by the advancing Pershing.
As the Americans moved towards the Rhine, the Wehrmacht (Panzer-Brigade 106th Feldherrnhalle) demolished the Hohenzollern Bridge, the last link between the east and west of the city. Although the Allies had failed to capture a bridge over the Rhine near Cologne, further south the 9th Armored Division of the U.S. First Army had advanced unexpectedly quickly towards the Rhine. They were very surprised to see that the Ludendorff bridge, one of the last bridges across the Rhine, was still standing, they captured and defended this crucial asset during the Battle of Remagen. By 7 March all of Cologne west of the Rhine was captured by the Allies, the boroughs on the right bank remained under German control until mid-April 1945.

Alecto and Rattler were joined by a hawser stern to stern. The weather was perfectly calm. Rattlers engine developed 300 indicated horsepower where as Alectos only reached 141 IHP. The result was Rattler towed Alecto astern at 2.8 knots. She paid off at Woolwich on 24 April 1845. She was refitted and reboilered at Woolwich at a cost of £18,110 for fitting and £10,073 for boilers.
Second Commission
She commissioned on 10 November 1845 under the command of Lieutenant Francis William Austen, RN for service on the east coast of South America. Commander Vincent Amcotts Massingberd, RN took command on 17 November 1846 for the North America and West Indies Station. She returned to Home Waters paying off at Woolwich on 22 June 1849. She was re-engined at Woolwich at a cost of £10,073.
Third Commission
She was commissioned for the anti-slavery patrol of the West Coast of Africa on 27 January 1852 under the command of Commander Stephen Smith Lowther Crofton, RN. She returned and paid off on 11 May 1854. She underwent a refit at Woolwich then Deptford for a cost of £10,143.
Fourth Commission

Ivan Erill is a Spanish computational biologist known for his research in comparative genomics and molecular microbiology. His work focuses primarily on bacterial comparative genomics, through the development of computational methods for analyzing regulatory networks and their evolution.
Education and career
Ivan Erill obtained a B.S. in Computer Science in 1996 and a PhD in Computer Science in 2003 from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, for his work on the design of microelectromechanical systems for DNA analysis at the CSIC Microelectronics Institute of Barcelona
. In 2008 he became an assistant professor at the Department of Biological Sciences of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, where is currently associate professor.
Research
Ivan Erill initiated his research career working on the development of microelectromechanical systems for biomedical applications. His work featured the design of PCR and DNA electrophoresis devices on CMOS-compatible substrates to facilitate the integration of on-chip control and detection circuitry and the design of sensing microneedles to monitor heart ischemia and organ grafts, leading to the first continuous monitoring of transplant organ temperature during transportation.
His work on microbial comparative genomics has focused primarily on the study of transcription regulatory networks. Working on the SOS response as a model network, Erill developed RCGScanner and later CGB to analyze the evolution of this transcriptional system in multiple bacterial groups, revealing that this response against DNA damage is evolutionary based on translesion synthesis and not DNA repair as traditionally assumed. In collaboration with other groups, he has described multiple divergent binding motifs for the SOS transcriptional repressor, and shown that SOS networks can be regulated by transcriptional repressors encoded by bacteriophages.
Erill's work has focused also on the evolutionary dynamics of transcription factors and their binding sites, using evolutionary simulations and information theory-based analyses, as well as comparative analyses of TF-binding motifs leveraging the CollecTF database developed by his laboratory. He has also applied genomics approaches to elucidate the evolution of antibiotic resistance genes and their dissemination, revealing that resistance genes may predate the development of antimicrobial compounds, and that antibiotics can induce the dissemination of resistance genes by inducing lateral gene transfer mediated by integrons and other mobile genetic elements.

Kvitravn is the fifth studio album by the Norwegian Nordic folk band Wardruna, released on 22 January 2021.
Lead singer Einar Selvik outlines the band's impression of their album on their website thus:
"The album musically continues where the Runaljod trilogy left off, yet it marks a distinct evolution in our sound.The album features a broad selection of both traditional and historical instruments such as Kravik-lyre, Trossingen-lyre, Taglharpa, Sotharpa, Langeleik, Crwth, Goat-horn, Lur, Bronze-lur, flute, Moraharpa and the record also features guest appearances by a small group of prominent traditional singers, spearheaded by Kirsten Bråten Berg, one of the most important custodians of Norwegian traditional song.Throughout eleven songs, Kvitravn discusses Northern sorcery, spirit-animals, shadows, nature and animism, the wisdom and meanings of certain myths, various Norse spiritual concepts, and the relation between sage and songs.
Reception
Robert Hoftun Gjestad of Aftenposten wrote that Kvitravn has a fascinating soundscape but the songs sometimes become too monotonous. Financial Times wrote that the instruments and natural sounds "create a sense of huge elemental drama with heroic human actors" and described the songs as "stirring, solemn affairs, driven forward by hammered drums and chanted choral vocals". Nöjesguidens Christoffer Bertzell said he was fascinated by Wardruna's exploration of musical roots, writing that Kvitravn is more "driven, dynamic and ritualistic" than the band's previous Runaljod trilogy, and has a greater "vocal focus" thanks to the guest vocalist Kirsten Bråten Berg.

The suspect was then shot near the hip, ending the shooting. The person who shot the suspect cooperated with police and was released, while the suspect was charged with second-degree murder, second-degree attempted murder and second-degree assault with a firearm.
On February 20, 2022, Ted Wheeler, Portland's mayor, issued a statement that included, "While many of the details of last night’s shooting near Normandale Park are unclear, we do know one thing for sure: Our community is dealing with the sadness of another senseless act of gun violence." June Knightly was identified as the woman killed.

Jorrit Joost Faassen (born 24 February 1980) is a Dutch businessman. He is the husband of Maria Vorontsova and the son-in-law of Russian president Vladimir Putin.
Biography
Faassen was born in Leiderdorp in the Netherlands. He is from the family of the Dutch painter Casper Faassen. He studied architecture at the Hague University of Applied Sciences and graduated in 2004. On 15 April 2006, he moved to Moscow where he had been a director at Stroytransgaz but left that post to take a top posting in 2007 at Gazprom, where he no longer works. He was the deputy chairman of MEF Audit, a Russian consulting group, until mid 2015 when MEF Audit removed his name from their website.
On 14 November 2010, along the Rublevskoye Highway () near Moscow, Faassen was beaten by four bodyguards of the Russian banker Matvey Urin, the co-owner of Trado-Bank (), previously the head of Breeze Bank () and associated with four other Moscow banks, all six of which subsequently went bankrupt. Since a half hour after this occurred, Urin has been detained and later incarcerated at Butyrka and has lost his wealth and vast holdings.
Faassen is married to Maria Vorontsova, the eldest daughter of Russian president Vladimir Putin. In 2013, Vorontsova and Faassen were living in a penthouse atop the highest residential building in Voorschoten in the Netherlands, but in 2014 Dutch residents called for Vorontsova to be expelled from the country after Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was shot down by pro-Russian rebels in Ukraine. In 2015, they were reported to be living in Moscow.

Karl Gutenberger (18 April 1905 - 8 July 1961) was a Nazi Party politician, SS-Obergruppenführer and General of the Waffen-SS and the Police. He was Police President in Duisburg and Essen and was the Higher SS and Police Leader "West." After the end of the Second World War, he was sentenced to prison for war crimes.
Early life
Karl Gutenberger was the son of a manager of the Krupp factory in Essen. After volksschule, he attended the oberrealschule and the realgymnasium in Altenessen. From 1921 and 1923 he completed a bank apprenticeship and then became a bank clerk, working in banking and business, including at Rheinstahl AG, a steel manufacturer in Essen, where he worked as a finance clerk from 1928 to 1929. He also worked briefly for a newspaper, the National-Zeitung from 1930 to 1931.
Gutenberger was active in the Nazi Party very early on, joining it in 1923 and again in mid-December 1925 (membership number 25,249) after the ban imposed on the Party in the wake of the Beer Hall Putsch was lifted. He became the Ortsgruppenleiter (Local Group Leader) for the district of Siegeroth in Essen and also worked as a Party speaker. On 31 July 1932, he was elected to the Reichstag from electoral constituency 23 (Düsseldorf-West), until it was dissolved that November. He was then elected to the Prussian Landtag in November 1932, serving until that body was abolished following the Nazi seizure of power. He then returned as a Reichstag deputy from November 1933 until the end of the Nazi regime in 1945. He was a recipient of the Golden Party Badge.
SA and SS career
A member of the Sturmabteilung (SA) since 1925, on 15 September 1932, Gutenberger was made an SA-Standartenführer and led numerous SA regiments. Promoted to SA-Oberführer in November 1933, he then commanded SA brigades in Wesel and Duisberg. From May 1937 he served as Police President (chief of police) of the city of Duisburg. On 14 November 1939, he left Duisberg to become Police President of Essen, holding this office until May 1941. On 1 June 1940, he left the SA and joined the SS (SS number 372,303) with the rank of SS-Brigadeführer. On 29 June 1941 he succeeded Friedrich Jeckeln as both Higher SS and Police Leader "West" and Leader of SS-Oberabschnittt (Main District) "West" with his headquarters in Düsseldorf. His jurisdiction comprised most of the northern Rhineland and Westphalia. He would retain both posts until the end of the Second World War.
Guttenberger was promoted to SS-Gruppenführer and Generalleutnant of Police on 9 November 1942. This was followed on 1 August 1944 by advancement to Obergruppenführer and General of the Waffen-SS and the Police. From November 1944 he was appointed Inspector of Passive Resistance and Special Defense "West", heading the clandestine volunteer Werwolf forces in his jurisdiction. Toward the end of the war he was responsible for numerous extrajudicial murders, including on the instructions of Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler, having the Allied-appointed Oberbürgermeister (Lord Mayor) of Aachen, Franz Oppenhoff, murdered on 25 March 1945.
Postwar prosecution
After the end of the war, Gutenberger was captured by American forces in Schloss Lopshorn in Lippe and placed in internment from 10 May 1945. On 20 October 1948, a British military court in Hamburg sentenced him to twelve years in prison for the murder of foreign workers. Further trials before German civil courts followed. On 22 October 1949, he received a four-year sentence from an Aachen court for his role in the Oppenhoff murder. A conviction on 16 March 1950 to a five-year prison sentence for crimes against humanity for his part in the murder of Allied airmen who had been shot down was later overturned on appeal in 1952. Due to an amnesty, Gutenberger was released from the Werl penal institution on 11 December 1953. After his release from prison, he worked in a wholesale business and died in 1961.

A New Voyage to Carolina is a 1709 book by the English explorer and naturalist John Lawson. It is considered one of colonial America's most comprehensive accounts of Native American civilization. Lawson arrived in Charleston, and proceeded to trek through the back country and Upstate South Carolina, and on to New Bern and Virginia. The expedition lasted from 1700 to 1701, but the book was published only after Lawson served as the king's surveyor for the region. The books subtitle is " Containing the Exact Description and Natural History of that Country: Together with the Present State thereof. And a Journal of a Thousand miles travel'd thro' several Nations of Indians. Giving a particular Account of their Customs, Manners, &c." The book was reprinted in the next decade as "The History of Carolina". Lawson was subsequently caught, tortured, and executed by the Tuscarora people, a tribe documented in the book, during a period of resistance to colonial depredation.

The Old Town Hall is a former municipal building in Kennington Road, Kennington, London, England. The town hall, which was briefly the headquarters of the Metropolitan Borough of Lambeth, is a Grade II listed building.
History
The building was commissioned to replace the old vestry hall of the Parish of St Mary in Church Street (now known as Lambeth Road) which had been completed in 1809. The site selected by the vestry for the new building, on the east side of Kennington Road, had not previously been developed because of its dampness: it had previously formed part of the estate of the Manor of Kennington which was in the ownership of the Duchy of Cornwall. The proposed development was seen by some members of the vestry as extravagant and was only authorised after a poll of ratepayers: the vestry then secured a long lease from the duchy.
The new building was designed by the local architects, Raymond Willshire and Robert Parris, in the neoclassical style, built by William Higgs in buff brick with stone dressings and was completed in September 1853. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with nine bays facing onto Kennington Road; the central section of three bays, which projected forward, formed a tetrastyle portico with four full-height Tuscan order columns and two antae supporting an entablature, a modillioned cornice and a modillioned pediment. The three-bay single-storey outer sections were fenestrated by round headed windows with architraves and keystones flanked by paired pilasters supporting entablatures. Internally, the principal room was the main assembly hall which featured a gallery at one end and an apse at the other end.
The outer sections was increased in height when an extra storey was added to each section to create more office space in 1873. After the area became a metropolitan borough in 1900, the civic leaders decided that the old building was inadequate for their needs and decided to procure a much larger building at the corner of Brixton Hill and Acre Lane, Brixton which opened as Lambeth Town Hall in 1908.
The lease on the vacant building in Kennington Road was assigned to the Church of England Incorporated Society for Providing Homes for Waifs and Strays in 1909 and the building became its headquarters: King George V visited the building to meet the society's children in 1935. During the Second World War, the water and gas supplies outside the building were hit by enemy bombing creating considerable concerns about the welfare and safety of the children inside.
The building remained the society's headquarters until, as The Children's Society, it relocated to new offices at Kings Cross in July 1986. The building was refurbished to a design by Rolfe Judd in 1995 and then served as the headquarters of the Countryside Alliance from the early 21st century until 2015. Following a further refurbishment, which was completed in 2016, the building became a creative hub for film production businesses.

Girolamo Pietraperzia Barresi (c.1502 -15 March, 1549) was a Sicilian nobleman, marquis or prince of Pietraperzia, who was decapitated in Palermo after a prolonged process for the crime of murder and parricide. His sentence for the murder of his father, Matteo Barresi, and two servants in 1533 was based on a confession obtained under torture. His sentence was initially commuted by Holy Roman emperor Charles V, after extracting some hefty fines, but the new viceroy Juan de Vega ultimately enforced the death sentence. He was buried in the church of San Domenico, Palermo.
Girolamo was one of the patrons of the mathematician and astronomer Francesco Maurolico. Girolamo had two children with Antonina, member of the Branciforte and Santapau families. Pietro died without progeny. His daughter, Dorotea Barresi e Santapau, after widowing twice, including Giovanni III Ventimiglia, she married the new viceroy of Naples Juan de Zúñiga y Requesens. She then moved to Spain where she participated in the upbringing of King Phillip V of Spain.

Fuscidea appalachensis is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling) in the family Fuscideaceae. Found in North America, it was formally described as a new species in 2008 by lichenologist Alan Fryday. The type specimen was collected from top of Tabor Gully in Baxter State Park (Maine) at an elevation of . Here it was found growing on damp rocks on the side of the gully. The pale grey crustose thalli of Fuscidea appalachensis are in diameter, although neighbouring lichens may coalesce to form larger thalli. The lichen contains divaricatic acid, a secondary compound that can be detected using thin-layer chromatography. The specific epithet alludes to the range of the lichen—the Appalachian Mountains in eastern North America, ranging from New Brunswick to Tennessee at the southern end.

The Crossing is the seventh novel by English novelist Andrew Miller published in 2015 by Sceptre, an imprint by Hodder & Stoughton. It was recommended by the Financial Times as being one of the best books in 2015.
Plot
Maud is a biology student at Bristol University where she is an active member of the university sailing club. While working on a yacht in a dry dock she falls and is rushed to hospital by air ambulance. Meanwhile, Tim, a wealthy fellow student and guitarist (with and original Lacôte) sees her fall and visits her at the hospital. They marry and have a child Zoe, and then buy a Nicholson 32, a 32-foot ocean-going yacht called Lodestar. Tragedy then strikes and Maud single-handedly sets off across the Atlantic and then encounters a violent storm.
Reception
Kate Clanchy writing in The Guardian highlights both Tim and Maud. Firstly Tim: "the dilettante musician desperately in search of the purpose and self-definition... The story of Tim’s narcissism, self-deception and deception, and of the chiming treacheries of his friends and family, is rich and delicate enough to have sufficed for most contemporary novels.". Then later Maud: "nose to nose with Maud and desperate for intimacy, for narration, for stories, for a redemptive ending. Miller delivers instead a finale perhaps more original than it is satisfying, but one that guarantees that Maud, and questions about Maud, will linger in your mind long after you close this remarkable novel."
Lucy Scholes from The Independent enjoyed the first half of the novel but is not as satisfied with the remainder: "Much of the pleasure of these early sections of The Crossing, comes from learning to keep step with the strange, sparse lull of the prose. What unfurls is a portrait of the couple's partnership seen from Tim's perspective that cleverly appears to be asking us to sympathise with him as he struggles to access Maud's interiority, but actually with every turn of the page, the reader becomes more and more intrigued by Maud herself...Then, without warning, tragedy strikes, and the entire fabric of the novel is torn asunder. The narrative viewpoint spins on its axis as Tim disappears from the story and we're left alone with Maud, who quite literally sets out to sea...I found myself wishing Miller had stayed closer to the novel I'd been reminded of initially, as ultimately, once Tim abandons ship the narrative flounders."
Francesca Wade wring in the Financial Times also contrasts the two halves on the novel: "Miller’s writing is assured, often poetic, remaining evocative even when a splurge of sailing terminology threatens to submerge his lyricism among its winches, jury-rigging and backing plates. His structure — perfectly linear yet radically fragmented — tests the extremes to which one character’s trajectory can lead, and each half is strangely gripping in very different ways. But the combination feels disjointed, and it’s disconcerting for a reader to adjust abruptly from the suburban to the nautical, from provincial English domesticity to the exotic harbour, inhabited by a tribe of shamanistic children, where Maud washes up after 50 days at sea." and concludes "The Crossing is deeply intriguing but ultimately frustrating: as if, through deliberate perversion, it never quite fulfils its mysterious potential."

Granger was articled to his uncle, Andrew Heiton, in 1876, became his assistant in the early 1880s, and eventually his partner.
Heiton became semi-retired around 1891, and Granger took over the practice.
Heiton died, of a suspected stroke, in 1894. Upon inheriting the business and the estate, Granger reversed his middle and last name, becoming Andrew Granger Heiton.
After serving in the First World War, Heiton had trouble producing drawings for clients due to health issues. He formed a partnership with John Sibbald McKay, who had previously worked as his assistant between 1913 and 1915. McKay continued the practice after Heiton's death.

The Chukotka Sled Dog (чукотская ездовая) is the aboriginal spitz breed of dog indigenous to the Chukchi people of Russia. Chukotka sled dog teams have been used since prehistoric times to pulls sleds in harsh conditions, such as hunting sea mammals on oceanic pack ice. While most famous as the progenitor of the Siberian husky, Chukotka Sled Dogs almost died out during the Soviet era due to lack of interest in preserving genetically purebred examples and have only recently made a resurgence. In 1999, the Russian Kynologic Federation (RKF) approved the first official standard of the breed.
History
The Chukotka Sled Dog was developed by the Chukchi people as a hardy, reliable method of hunting marine mammals on sea ice and transportation in the mountainous tundra of the Chukchi peninsula, where windswept slopes prevent the accumulation of snow. Sportswoman and author M. G. Dmitrieva-Sulima would describe them as a unique breed in her 1911 book, "Laika and hunting with it."
Split with Siberian Huskies
From the 1890s to the 1930s, Chukotka sled dogs were actively exported to Alaska, to transport gold miners to the Yukon as part of the Klondike Gold Rush. then later for the "All-Alaska Sweepstakes," a 408-mile (657-km) distance dog sled race in Alaska. At this time, "Esquimaux" or "Eskimo" was a common pejorative term for native North American Arctic inhabitants with many dialectal permutations including Uskee, Uskimay and Huskemaw. Thus dogs used by Arctic people were the dogs of the Huskies, the Huskie's dogs, and eventually simply the husky dogs. Canadian and American settlers, not well versed on Russian geography, would distinguish the Chukotka imports by referring to them as Siberian huskies as Chukotka is part of Siberia.
In 1913, Leonhard Seppala inherited a team of Chukotka sled dogs by chance. Jafet Lindeberg, his friend and supervisor at Pioneer Mining Company, had brought the puppies from Siberia as a gift for the explorer Roald Amundsen, whom he hoped would use them for his upcoming expedition to the North Pole. Seppala was assigned to train the dogs. "I literally fell in love with them from the start", he recalled; "I could hardly wait for sledding snow to start their training". When Amundsen cancelled his trip a few weeks after the puppies arrived in Nome, Lindeberg gave them to Seppala. Smaller, faster and more enduring than the 100- to 120-pound (45- to 54-kg) freighting dogs then in general use, Siberian huskies immediately dominated the Sweepstakes race.
In 1930, the Soviet Union halted the exportation of dogs from Siberia and the American Kennel Club recognized the Siberian Husky as a breed. Dogs living in the Soviet Union at the time would continue on as Chukotka sled dogs while dogs residing in the United States and Canada would go on to form the foundational stock of the Siberian Husky.
In the 1950s and 60s, improvements in infrastructure and mechanized travel coupled with a prohibition on subsistent whaling resulted in the collapse of indigenous dog sled populations in Chukotka. Sled dog populations continued to decline until 1988 when a regional survey revealed only 1594 dogs, not all of which were purebred. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, widespread food insecurity in Russia coupled with a special dispensation in whaling for native Chukchi people, have contributed to a resurging interest in preserving Chukotka sled dogs in the Chukotka Penninsula. There are estimated to be 4000 Chukotka sled dogs today, although it is unclear how many are purebred.
Characteristics
Chukotka sled dogs are prized for their high endurance, strength, ability to work and trainability. They should have a friendly disposition as required for working in teams. Males and females of this dog are 53–65 cm at the withers. Roald Amundsen wrote: "At dog sledding these Russians and Chukchi are ahead of everyone, whom I could see." Unlike other Arctic dogs which are multifunctional, Chukotka sled dogs are selected strictly for fuel efficiency during long-distance runs.
Popular Culture
Fyodor Konyukhov and Viktor Simonov crossed the Arctic Ocean in 46 days and reached the shores of Ward Hunt Island (Canada)Chukotka Sled Dogs.
A monument is being erected in Karelia in honor of Cherk, a Chukotka Sled Dog that crossed the Arctic three times.

The calibrated automated thrombogram (CAT or CT) is a thrombin generation assay (TGA) and global coagulation assay (GCA) which can be used as a coagulation test to assess thrombotic risk. It is the most widely used TGA. The CAT is a semi-automated test performed in a 96-well plate and requires specialized technologists to be performed. As a result, it has seen low implementation in routine laboratories and has been more limited to research settings. Lack of standardization with the CAT has also led to difficulties in study-to-study comparisons in research. An example of a specific commercial CAT is the Thrombinoscope by Thrombinoscope BV (now owned by Diagnostica Stago).
The CAT can be used to measure thrombogram parameters such as the endogenous thrombin potential (ETP) and to assess activated protein C resistance (APCR). The CAT ETP-based APCR test is especially sensitive to estrogen-induced procoagulation, such as with combined oral contraceptives.
In 2018, a commercial fully-automated TGA system and alternative to the CAT called the ST Genesia debuted. It should allow for more widespread adoption of TGAs in clinical laboratories. The ST-Genesia system also shows enhanced reproducibility compared to the CAT.

A thrombin generation assay (TGA) or thrombin generation test (TGT) is a global coagulation assay (GCA) and type of coagulation test which can be used to assess coagulation and thrombotic risk. It is based on the potential of a plasma to generate thrombin over time, following activation of coagulation via addition of phospholipids, tissue factor, and calcium. The results of the TGA can be output as a thrombogram or thrombin generation curve using computer software with calculation of thrombogram parameters.
TGAs can be performed with methods like the semi-automated calibrated automated thrombogram (CAT) (2003) or the fully-automated ST Genesia system (2018). TGAs were first used as manual assays in the 1950s and have since become increasingly automated.
Parameters
Thrombogram parameters for the TGA include:
Lag time (minutes; time until thrombin first generated/thrombin concentration first increased)
Time to peak or ttPeak (minutes; time to maximum concentration of thrombin generated)
Start tail (minutes; time at which thrombin generation ends and all generated thrombin has been inhibited)
Peak height or peak thrombin (molar concentration (e.g., nM) of thrombin; peak or maximum concentration of thrombin generated)
Velocity index (slope of thrombin generation between lag time/first thrombin generation and time to peak; corresponds to first derivative of this part of curve)
Endogenous thrombin potential (ETP; area under the curve of the thrombin generation curve)
ETP-based APC resistance test
The addition of activated protein C (APC) to a TGA results in an inhibition of thrombin generation as measured by reduction of the endogenous thrombin potential (ETP; area under the thrombin generation curve). This can be used to assess APC resistance and is termed the ETP-based APC resistance test. Results may be expressed as normalized APC sensitivity ratio (nAPCsr), which corresponds to the ratio of the ETP measured in the presence and absence of APC divided by the same ratio in reference plasma. The ratio that is obtained ranges from 0 to 10. In contrast to activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)-based APC resistance test (which provides an APCsr value), the higher the nAPCsr value, the greater the APC resistance of the person.
The ETP-based APC resistance test is highly sensitive to procoagulatory changes induced by estrogens (e.g., estrogen-containing birth control pills and estrogen-based hormone therapy) and is much more sensitive to these changes than is the aPTT-based test.
The ETP-based APC resistance test was developed in 1997, following the development of the aPTT-based test in 1993.

Post Mortem (stylized in all caps) is the debut studio album by Argentine rapper and singer Dillom. It was released on December 1, 2021, by his own record label, Bohemian Groove. Production for the album is handled by Fermín Ugarte, Evar, Lamadrid and Dillom himself. Post Mortem received widespread acclaim from music journalists, and was placed on several year-end critics' lists. The album spawned three singles: "Opa", "Piso 13" and "Pelotuda". The Post Mortem Tour kicked off in February 2022.
Background and composition
Dillom rose to fame in 2018 with the self-produced track "Dripping" and founded the creative team Rip Gang, alongside fellow musicians Ill Quentín, Muerejoven, Odd Mami, Taichu and Saramalacara. In 2019, he became one of the most prominent figures in "the new wave of Argentine trap" with a lauded performance at Buenos Aires Trap Festival and a much-discussed collaboration with producer and DJ Bizarrap. In 2020, Dillom founded his own record label, Bohemian Groove, and released his most successful solo single to date, "Dudade". In 2021, he was featured on L-Gante's "Tinty Nasty" and announced that we would release his debut album later in the year.
Dillom worked on Post Mortem for two years and described the process as "challenging" and "exhausting". During an interview with TN, he said that what inspired him to make the album was his "fear of death"; "There were many great things happening in my life and suddenly I was afraid of dying [...] I think the only way towards immortality is through art so I made an album with what I want to be left from me if I die." Post Mortem was produced by Fermín, Evar, Lamadrid and Dillom himself, and was recorded at Estudio El Árbol in Buenos Aires.
Music and lyrics
Post Mortem was described as an "eclectic" mix of trap, hardcore hip hop, horrorcore and indie rock, with elements of industrial, experimental and pop. Consisting of 18 tracks, it is a concept album about "overcoming the fear of death" and addresses topics such as his past, family, love, money and existentialism.
Post Mortem opens with "La Primera", a ballad noted for "[having] some of the most beautiful lines on the album". A music video directed by Santiago Chaher and Noduermo portrays Dillom's troubled childhood and "a tragic ending". Dillom described the video as "special". The second track, "Hegemónica", features L-Gante and was labeled as RKT, an Argentine music genre that combines cumbia villera and reggaeton. "Pelotuda" was noted for adapting American slang into Spanish and was compared to rapper Eminem. A music video was directed by Noduermo. The following track, "Demian", is a spoken-word interlude featuring Argentine jouranlist Mario Pergolini. It is a "horror story" depicting fictional character Demian's "strange transformation in the middle of the forest". It leads into the title track, in which Demian kills his friends. Musically, it was described as "cyber-pop". Sixth track "Bicicleta" "flirts with pop and dance music".
"Duo" is an instrumental interlude that leads to "Piso 13", an alternative hip hop and industrial piece. Its lyrics were described as "sharp" and "packed with Argentine culture references". A "dense, dark" music video was directed by Noduermo. This part of the album was described as the "darkest", with ninth track "Side" noted for its personal lyrics, touching upon themes such as his mother. Fellow Rip Gang member Muerejoven is featured on "Coach", a trap song described as a "more straightforward rapper [type of] track". "Bohemian Groove Skit", another spoken-word interlude, is a parodic radio advertisement for Dillom's own record label, Bohemian Groove. Lead single "Opa" features flutes and was described as "one of the most accomplished tracks [in urban music] of recent times." A music video directed by Noduermo was inspired by Tyler, the Creator, Eminem and the 2000s. "Rili Rili" is a rap rock song, while "220" features a "soft" indie pop sound. "220" is Dillom's favorite song on the album, describing it as "introspective" and praising himself for "being able to face what [he feels] with no shame".
The album's final section opens with "Toda la Gente", a choir and piano interlude reminiscent of 80s Argentine rock, most notably Fito Páez. "Reality" was compared to Marilyn Manson, while "Rocketpowers", featuring Rip Gang member Saramalacara, was described as a "fun", blink-182-influenced post-punk track. Post Mortem closes with "Amigos Nuevos", a "vulnerable" ballad which Dillom described as "hard to write".
Reception
Post Mortem received widespread acclaim upon release. Malena Sabanes Niccolini from El Destape praised the album and called it "one of the best of the year", while Buenos Aires platform enAgenda lauded Dillom as "the scene's most original artist". Lucas Santomero from Indie Hoy described Post Mortem as "complete, overwhelming and, for some, unexpected [...] Much bigger than a simple trap record". Filo.news also lauded the album as one of the year's best. Writing for La Izquierda Diario, Josefina García called it "an unprecedented phenomenon" and praised its concept, cohesiveness and sound. Juan Villain from The Medizine pointed out the album's mixture of music genres and styles as its "greatest achievement". Santiago Ramos from Cosquín Rock FM named Post Mortem "the best album of the year".
The music video for "Piso 13" received two nominations at the 2021 Buenos Aires Music Video Festival Awards, including Best Art Direction.
As of February 2022, Post Mortem amassed over 36 million streams on Spotify.
Year-end lists
The Post Mortem Tour
Dillom announced he would tour Argentina, Latin America and Europe to support the album. The Post Mortem Tour kicked off on February 13, 2022, in Córdoba, Argentina. More tour dates are yet to be announced.

Jurunas is a neighborhood of the Brazilian city of Belém, as of 2010, it has a population of 64,478, up from 62,740 in 2000, its name is derived from the indigenous tribe of the Jurunas (see Yudjá).
It is one of the most populous neighborhoods of the city of Belém, with a population composed of indigenous ethnicities, Ribeirinhos, middle-class families from the 17th and 18th centuries, and the poor working-class.
The neighborhood is very close to the center of the city, with extensive connections through avenues and roads, however due to its geographical location it is not an obligatory path in the daily commute of the population of other neighborhoods of Belém or Ananindeua, with the exception of other contiguous and peripheric neighborhoods (Condor, Cremação, Guamá).
History
Previous to Portuguese colonization, the region of Jurunas, marked by the Igarapé do Piry was inhabited by various traditional ethnicities, some of whom died off during the Portuguese conquest. The remaining indigenous people were involved in the process of Miscegenation, as the area was slowly occupied by the colonists.
Similarly to the neighborhoods of Guamá and Condor, Jurunas began its foundations on the shores of the Guamá River, with initial occupation dating to the 17th century, though it was only in the 18th century that the region was incorporated into the larger urban area of Belém, through the opening of roads that however poorly, connected the urban center to the lands that were being used as residence or for low-income economic activity of the local populations.
In the early 19th century, the Igarapé do Piry, a branch of the Guamá River, was filled, allowing for the urban center to expand into the modern-day neighborhoods of Batista Campos, Jurunas, Condor, Cremação e Guamá. From this point on, new avenues and streets were built, most notably the road of São José, starting on the docks of Ver-o-Peso and going in a straight line all the way to the Largo de São José, which, once bypassed, would reach the neighborhood of Jurunas. Thorough the 1800s the area slowly gained new streets and avenues, and the neighborhood gradually increased in value, noticeable for the increasing amount of sale announcements in local newspapers.
Between the end of the 19th century and the start of the 20th century, the interest of local politicians and administrators led to an increasing investment in improving the economic, hygienic and living conditions of the city, which affected the neighborhood through improvement of sanitations, deforestation, and construction of bridges.
At the beginning of the 20th century, despite poorer conditions and its relative geographical isolation, the neighborhood received more and more inhabitants, with richer citizens building small estates (rocinhas) for themselves, and the local working-class population took increasing more part in the commercial, religious and cultural life of the city.
Between 1950 and 1980, the neighborhood saw extensive levels of migration, with half of all migrants arriving in this period, migrants came specially from Ribeirinho populations of the surrounding regions of Northeastern Pará, the Marajó Archipelago, and Lower and Medium Amazonas.

The 2004 Nextel All-Star Challenge was the second exhibition stock car race of the 2004 NASCAR Nextel Cup Series and the 20th iteration of the event. The race was held on Saturday, May 22, 2004, in Concord, North Carolina at Lowe's Motor Speedway, a 1.5 miles (2.4 km) permanent quad-oval. The race took the scheduled 90 laps to complete. At race's end, Matt Kenseth, driving for Roush Racing, would complete a late race pass of eventual second-place driver, Penske-Jasper Racing driver Ryan Newman to win his first and only Nextel All-Star Challenge win. To fill out the podium, Tony Stewart of Joe Gibbs Racing finished third.
Background
Lowe's Motor Speedway is a motorsports complex located in Concord, North Carolina, United States 13 miles from Charlotte, North Carolina. The complex features a 1.5 miles (2.4 km) quad oval track that hosts NASCAR racing including the prestigious Coca-Cola 600 on Memorial Day weekend and the NEXTEL All-Star Challenge, as well as the UAW-GM Quality 500. The speedway was built in 1959 by Bruton Smith and is considered the home track for NASCAR with many race teams located in the Charlotte area. The track is owned and operated by Speedway Motorsports Inc. (SMI) with Marcus G. Smith (son of Bruton Smith) as track president.
Format and eligibility
The 90 laps of the Nextel All-Star Challenge was divided into three segments. Caution laps between segment breaks were not counted. The first segment was 40 laps long. Mandatory 10-minute pit stops/breaks were implemented in between both segment breaks. During the first 10-minute break, a random ping pong ball (each ball would have one NASCAR on Fox announcer or pit reporter on it) picked by Chris Myers would lead Myers to open a giant, promotional Nextel flip phone of the corresponding announcer. Each phone had a number that would decide how many cars would be inverted to start Segment 2, a 30-lap segment. After the second 10-minute break, drivers would race in a 20-lap shootout to decide the winner of the Nextel All-Star Challenge.
Drivers who had won in the previous season and the first 11 eleven races of the current season were automatically eligible to qualify for the Nextel All-Star Challenge. In addition, previous champions and former Nextel All-Star Challenge winners within the last 10 years (1994-2003) were also automatically eligible.
Teams who were not automatically eligible to qualify, but still wanted to have a chance at entering the Nextel All-Star Challenge were made to race in a qualifying race called the Nextel Open, a 30-lap shootout event where the winner of the event would qualify to race in the Nextel All-Star Challenge. Teams who were in the Top 50 in the 2003 NASCAR Winston Cup Series owner's points standings were allowed to race in the Nextel Open. In addition, a televote was made open to the public where the driver who got the most votes from the public would also qualify to move on to the Nextel All-Star Challenge.

Barnes Carr is an American journalist, historian, and author of fiction who has studied the history of US—Russia espionage, influence operations, and covert military actions.
He was a journalist for daily newspapers in Mississippi, Memphis, Boston, Montreal, New York, New Orleans, and Washington D.C., and was awarded the Faulkner Gold Medal for fiction for his short story, "Needle Man".
His 2020 research into the US-led 1918 assassination attempt on Lenin, "sometimes reads like history, sometimes like a spy novel", and has been called "a well crafted exposé that suggests that the Cold War began half a century earlier than we've been told."
Known by the press at the time as the Lockhart—Reilly plot, after two of its principal agents, other historians have called it the Ambassadors Plot. Following Carr's extensive research into government archives and primary sources, he reveals that U.S. Secretary of state Robert Lansing initiated the plot after Lenin seized power in October 1917 and removed Russia from the World War I. Spymaster and U.S. Consul General of Moscow DeWitt Clinton Poole employed Xenophon Kalamatiano as his main field officer.
President Woodrow Wilson's foreign policy was publicly opposed to interference, but he told Lansing the Moscow coup had his "entire approval".
In addition to instigating an attempted coup d'état, they laundered money through the British and French to send American troops under British Command by General Edmund Ironside in Operation Archangel, part of the North Russia intervention, an Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War.
