Q18541655 Vasile Mangra (Romanian pronunciation: [vaˈsile ˈmaŋɡra]; born Vichentie Mangra; May 25, 1850–October 14 [O.S. October 1] 1918) was an Austro-Hungarian cleric of the Romanian Orthodox Church and historian.Born in Săliște-Săldăbagiu, Bihor County, his father was a priest. He attended gymnasium in Beiuș and Oradea, studied theology in Arad from 1869 to 1872 and began but did not complete legal studies at the Oradea Law Academy. In 1875, he began teaching church history and canon law at the Arad Theological Institute, of which he was temporary director in 1882-1883. In 1893, he was dismissed from the faculty at the request of the Hungarian government. He edited the church newsletters Lumina (1874-1875) and Biserica și Scoala (1877-1879, 1882-1883 and 1899-1900). In 1879, he was tonsured a monk at Bodrog Monastery, taking the name Vasile. In 1899, he was ordained a priest. In 1900, he was elected vice president of Oradea's Romanian Orthodox consistory, serving until 1916. He was made archimandrite in 1906. In 1901, he was elected bishop of the Arad Diocese, but due to his political activity, was prevented from assuming office by the Hungarian government.Mangra was prominent within the Romanian national movement in Austria-Hungary. In 1892, he formed part of the delegation that took the Transylvanian Memorandum to Vienna. In 1894, he organized a large popular assembly in Sibiu that protested against the government's decision to ban the Romanian National Party. In 1895, he was the main organizer of a nationalities congress at Budapest that brought together Romanians, Serbs and Slovaks. However, late in life, he reversed course, becoming a trusted figure for the authorities. In 1910, he was elected to the Diet of Hungary's House of Representatives on a pro-government platform for a seat centered at Ceica.In August 1916, in the middle of World War I and days before the Romanian Old Kingdom entered the conflict against Austria-Hungary, Mangra was elected Metropolitan of Transylvania. Prior to the vote, the administrative arm of the Budapest government, which was aware of the need for a friendly figure at the head of the church, intervened openly and forcefully in selecting the deputies (clergy and especially laity) for the upcoming church congress. With a compliant electorate in place, Prime Minister István Tisza was able to impose his choice. Shortly after the election, Romanian troops entered Transylvania, forcing a number of institutions to withdraw into the interior of the monarchy. These included the Sibiu-based archdiocesan council and theological institute, which functioned at Oradea from September 1916 until the following June, when Mangra was able to take up residence at Sibiu.Thus, his enthronement took place in Oradea in October 1916; the rite was performed by suffragan bishops Ioan Papp of Arad and Miron Cristea of Caransebeș. In the summer of 1917, Education Minister Albert Apponyi ordered that a ministerial employee with full rights over the activities of teachers and students be assigned to each Romanian pedagogical school. The protest of Mangra and his suffragans went unheeded. The metropolitan died of heart disease in a Budapest hotel shortly before the union of Transylvania with Romania. Some claim he committed suicide, while others deny this scenario. His remains were buried in the Hungarian capital and are still there. After the union, his collaborationist stance was roundly condemned, with Papp and Cristea going so far as to declare his election invalid. It was only under Metropolitan Antonie Plămădeală, who took office in 1982, that his name was once again commemorated in the Sibiu Archdiocese's parishes during the Great Entrance.Mangra authored several thorough works dealing with the history of church life among Transylvania's Romanians, and conducted important research into the old Romanian manuscripts of the Bihor area. Consequently, he was elected a titular member of the Romanian Academy in 1909.

Q14633936 The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is a membrane-bound structure found within muscle cells that is similar to the endoplasmic reticulum in other cells. The main function of the SR is to store calcium ions (Ca2+). Calcium ion levels are kept relatively constant, with the concentration of calcium ions within a cell being 100,000 times smaller than the concentration of calcium ions outside the cell. This means that small increases in calcium ions within the cell are easily detected and can bring about important cellular changes (the calcium is said to be a second messenger; see calcium in biology for more details). Calcium is used to make calcium carbonate (found in chalk) and calcium phosphate, two compounds that the body uses to make teeth and bones. This means that too much calcium within the cells can lead to hardening (calcification) of certain intracellular structures, including the mitochondria, leading to cell death. Therefore, it is vital that calcium ion levels are controlled tightly, and can be released into the cell when necessary and then removed from the cell.

Q1985896 "More Crap" is the ninth episode of the eleventh season of the animated television series South Park, and the 162nd episode of the series overall. It was originally broadcast on Comedy Central in the United States on October 10, 2007. In the episode, Stan's father Randy produces what is apparently "the biggest crap" ever taken, but his claims for the world record are challenged."More Crap" is a highly scatological episode of South Park, with the entire plot and many of the jokes revolving around fecal matter in some way. It is one of the very few episodes where Cartman, Kyle and Kenny did not appear. The episode satirizes U2 singer Bono for "seem[ing] like such a piece of crap". The plot of "More Crap" satirizes the competitive nature of trying to become the record-holder in a peculiar category. It parodies elements of the 2007 documentary The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, which is about the competition for the biggest high score in the arcade game Donkey Kong.The episode aired shortly after South Park received an Emmy Award that year for the episode "Make Love, Not Warcraft". A running gag in "More Crap" makes reference to the show's Emmy-winning status, during especially scatological scenes.

Q1598649 Ignaz Samuel Pallme (Steinschönau 1 February 1806 - Hainburg near Vienna 11 June 1877), a Bohemian by birth, undertook a journey to Kordofan in 1837, on commission, for a mercantile establishment at Cairo, in the hope of discovering new channels of traffic with central Africa.In the pursuit of his object, he sojourned (1837–1839) longer in the country than any European before him; the information he furnished respecting the state of this province of Egypt in particular, and of the Belled Soudan in general, may, therefore, be considered the most authentic in existence at that time. That few travellers have visited these countries before Pallme, and subjected the information they were enabled to collect to print, may be deduced from the facts, that scarcely one-half of the places mentioned in Pallme's book are to be found on the maps of that time.The book Kordofan, written by Ignaz Pallme, is at the Austrian National Library in Vienna. Based on notes collected during Pallme's residence in Kordofan (Kurdufan), the book is embracing a description of that province of Egypt and of some of the bordering countries, with a review of the state of the commerce in those countries, of the habits and customs of the inhabitants, as also an account of the slave-hunts taking place under the government of Mehemet Ali.

Q5694965 The heaving line bend is a knot dubiously presented as supposedly bending a smaller line (a messenger line — of which a heaving line will be the first of possibly multiple, being light enough to be projected) to a larger line to be brought across some span. This particular knot gained its name and was put forwards to assume this role after a mistake in illustration. Hjalmar Ohrvall found the knot in a museum on a Japanese shamisen (a banjo-like, 3-stringed instrument); in his 1916, enlarged edition of Om Knutar, his daughter mis-drew the knot with a crossing at the top of the hitched-to bight of the larger material. Presumably, Ashley et al. saw only the mistaken image and assumed the function of the knot. Whether it has ever seen actual nautical use is unconfirmed — the knot is of a rather insecure/instable nature for pulling a line through heavy seas. It is knot number 1463 in The Ashley Book of Knots, and appeared in the 1916 Swedish knot manual Om Knutar.
Q1361290 "Ma Normandie" is the semi-official anthem of the Bailiwick of Jersey, a British Crown dependency in the Channel Islands, and was written and composed by Frédéric Bérat. Jersey is historically part of the Duchy of Normandy, and French has been for centuries an official administrative language of Jersey, whose inhabitants have traditionally spoken a variety of Norman language.Although "Ma Normandie" is used by Jersey at Commonwealth Games, Island Games and other international events where it is necessary for territories that otherwise use "God Save the Queen" to be distinguished, the fact that the song refers to France rather than to Jersey means that a body of opinion has campaigned for a change of anthem.In 2007 the States of Jersey undertook to find a new, official, Anthem by means of an open competition. The final judging of the competition took place with a public performance of the short-listed pieces on 30 April 2008. The short-listed composers were: Derek Lawrence, Gerard Le Feuvre, James Taberner and a joint composition by Kevin Porée and Matheson Bayley; the traditional song "Beautiful Jersey"/"Man Bieau P'tit Jèrri" was also included in the shortlist. The winner of the competition was declared to be "Island Home" composed by Gerard Le Feuvre. A Jèrriais version of the English lyrics will be provided. The States will take the decision on whether to ratify the adoption of a new anthem in the light of public reaction to the results of the competition."Ma Normandie" is also widely used, but unofficially, as the regional anthem of Normandy.
