Rhinichthys, known as the riffle daces, is a genus of freshwater fish in the carp family (Cyprinidae) of the order Cypriniformes. The type species is Rhinichthys atratulus, the blacknose dace. Rhinichthys species range throughout North America. The genus contains eight living species, one of which (the loach minnow) is considered Vulnerable. It also includes the extinct Las Vegas dace, which was only first described in 1984 and had disappeared by 1986. The cheat minnow (Pararhinichthys bowersi), a natural hybrid of the longnose dace (R. cataractae) and the river chub (Nocomis micropogon), was formerly placed in this genus, but is now valid under Pararhinichthys. The riffle daces are a basal lineage in an insufficiently resolved clade of American Leuciscinae. Such a group had been proposed on anatomical evidence, and was verified using mtDNA 12S rRNA sequences.(Simons & Mayden 1997) | Animal |

Danas (Serbo-Croatian for \"today\"), is a daily newspaper published in Belgrade, Serbia. It was established in 1997 after a group of discontented journalists from the Naša borba newspaper walked out after getting into a conflict with the paper's new private majority owner. The first issue of Danas appeared on 9 June 1997. Right from the start the paper employed a strong independent editorial policy with respect to Milošević's regime. Because of open reporting and uncensored coverage on issues and events plaguing Yugoslav and Serbian society in the late 1990s, the paper often found itself targeted by Serbian authorities. Danas was one of the three newspapers (Dnevni telegraf and Naša borba being the other two) to be banned by governmental decree on 14 October 1998 for \"spreading fear and defeatism\" at a time when NATO bombing of FR Yugoslavia seemed a distinct possibility. As the threat of bombing went away (for a few months anyway), the ban was lifted on 20 October 1998, only to be replaced by a piece of legislation called the Information Law. Under that law, Danas was fined severely and on numerous occasions. The paper's day-to-day operations were often under threat of shutting down until the regime was finally overthrown on 5 October 2000. In the period since the regime change, Danas has been one of the rare Serbian newspapers (or Serbian media outlets in general, for that matter) to ignore the commercial temptations of yellow journalism. Its circulation has been continually in decline. Most of the foreign investors in Serbian media market have been avoiding it. Today, Danas is a left-oriented media, promoting issues related to former Yugoslavia, social-democracy and European integrations. It is among rare media supporters of Serbian NGO activities towards human rights and minorities protection. Danas currently publishes political comic strips drawn by the famous caricaturist Predrag Koraksić Corax. The paper is published and managed by an entity called Dan Graf d.o.o. - a limited liability company based in Belgrade. The company's ownership is shared by 13 individuals: Grujica Spasović (13.39%), Dušan Mitrović (13.39%), Radomir Ličina (11.83%), Zdravko Huber (10.94%), Milan Jauković (9.82%), Vesna Ninković (9.03%), Radivoj Cvetićanin (7.19%), Aleksandar Nikašinović (5.46%). | Periodical Literature |

The United States Senate elections of 1812 and 1813 were elections that, coinciding with President James Madison's re-election, had the Democratic-Republican Party lose two seats but still retain an overwhelming majority in the United States Senate. As in recent elections, the minority Federalists had gone into the elections with such a small share of Senate seats (6 out of 36, or 16.7%) that they had won every one of the elections, they would still not have controlled a majority. As these elections were prior to ratification of the seventeenth amendment, Senators were chosen by State legislatures. | Societal Event |

The elm cultivar Ulmus 'Koopmannii' was cloned from a specimen raised from seed sent from Margilan, Turkestan (now in eastern Uzbekistan) by Koopmann to the Botanischer Garten Berlin c. 1880. Noted in 1881 as a 'new elm', it was later listed by the Späth nursery (Berlin, Germany), catalogue no. 62, p. 6. 101, 1885, as Ulmus Koopmannii, and later by Krüssmann in Handbuch der Laubgehölze 2: 534, 1962, as a cultivar. Margilan being beyond the main range of Ulmus minor, Augustine Henry, who saw the specimens in Berlin and Kew, believed Koopmann's Elm to be a form of Ulmus pumila (Siberian elm), and the tree is treated in some north Eurasian treatises as a cultivar of the Siberian Elm. Until DNA analysis can confirm its origin, the cultivar is now treated as Ulmus 'Koopmannii'. | Plant |
