12th Screen Actors Guild Awards
The **12th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards** ceremony, honoring the best in film and television acting achievement for the year 2005, took place on January 29, 2006, at the Los Angeles Shrine Exposition Center, in Los Angeles, California. It was the 10th consecutive year the ceremony was held at the center. The nominees were announced on January 5, 2006, and the event was televised live by both TNT and TBS. It was the first ever year TBS televised the ceremony, while it was the 9th consecutive year that TNT had aired it. Among the contenders for the film awards *Brokeback Mountain* received the highest number of nominations with four. *Capote* and *Crash* received the second highest number with three each. No film however received more than one award. In the television categories the mini\-series *Empire Falls* and the spin\-off series *Boston Legal* led the nominees with four nominations each. *Desperate Housewives* was the only series which won more than one award, two in total. The Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award was presented to the former child actress Shirley Temple Black.
Projective cone
A **projective cone** (or just **cone**) in projective geometry is the union of all lines that intersect a projective subspace *R* (the apex of the cone) and an arbitrary subset *A* (the basis) of some other subspace *S*, disjoint from *R*. In the special case that *R* is a single point, *S* is a plane, and *A* is a conic section on *S*, the projective cone is a conical surface; hence the name.

S10 (UPU standard)
("RR"), followed by an 8\-digit serial number (28704377\), the check\-digit (5\) and the two\-letter ISO country code for the issuing country, India ("IN") The UPU **S10** standard defines a system for assigning 13\-character identifiers to international postal items for the purpose of tracking and tracing them during shipping. With increased liberalization and the possibility of multiple postal services operating in the same country, the use of country codes to designate the **postal service** is a problem. To solve this, each country has a designated postal service that controls all S10 identifiers from that country; any competing postal services will have to cooperate with the designated owner. The organization assigned by the UPU member country shall manage the issue and use of S10 identifiers, among all the operators under the authority of that UPU member country, in such a way as to ensure that no S10 identifier is reused within a period of 12 calendar months. A period of 24 calendar months, or longer, is recommended.
Kluskoil Lake Provincial Park
**Kluskoil Lake Provincial Park** is a provincial park in British Columbia, Canada, located on the West Road River (Blackwater River) downstream from the Euchiniko Lakes.
Snow country (Japan)
refers to areas in Japan characterized by heavy, long\-lasting snowfalls. The rather poetic can refer to any place with heavy or deep snows and is generally understood as a reference to the Sea of Japan side of Honshū (Japan's main island) and the area encompassed by the Japanese Alps, a series of mountain ranges that make up the island's backbone. In its broadest meaning, *snow country* means the belt along the Sea of Japan from Yamaguchi (in particular, Shimane) in the south to Honshū's northern tip, as well as Sado Island and Hokkaidō. More narrowly defined, it is used to indicate the area from Fukui to Akita Prefecture, but it is most closely associated with part of Fukui and all of Toyama and Niigata Prefectures. "Heavy Snowfall Zones" refers to places where snowfall and snow cover are severe enough to be a hindrance to the livelihood of inhabitants or the development of local industry. In all, more than half of Japan's land area carries the designation—ten complete prefectures and portions of fourteen others out of Japan's 47 prefectures. Heavy snow areas are eligible for subsidies and other special consideration from the central government to help them cope with the snow (such as for snow removal) and otherwise bring stability to local livelihoods and economies. The heavy snowfalls of Japan's snow country are caused by moisture\-laden clouds bumping up against the mountains along the backbone of Honshū and releasing their moisture under the influence of westerly winds blowing off the continent or down from Siberia. As a result, the region includes some of the world's snowiest spots at the same latitudes, many localities are also frequently visited by avalanches. Frequently snow is so deep in some places that buildings have a special entrance on their second story; people must remove snow from their roofs to prevent its weight from crushing their homes, and special care is taken to protect trees from the snow's weight. In some towns, people used to tunnel paths to one another's homes, and streets were lined with covered sidewalks to ensure that people could get around. Today in areas where temperatures are high enough to make it practical, many roads are equipped with sprinklers using warm ground water to keep them passable by melting the snow. The most recent record snows were brought by the blizzards of December 2005–February 2006, when well over 3 m (4\.5 m in one part of Aomori Prefecture) of snow accumulated in many rural areas, and anywhere from 46 cm (Tottori) to nearly 1\.5 m (Aomori) piled up even in several major cities. One striking feature of Japan's snow country are the on . Strong winds over the nearby lake fling water droplets which freeze against the trees and their branches, until near\-horizontal icicles begin to form. Falling snow settles on the ice formations, and the result is a grotesque figure of a tree. The effect of a full forest of such trees gives visitors a ghostly impression.

Pitchfork (band)
**Pitchfork** was an American post\-hardcore band formed in 1986 in San Diego, California and disbanded in 1990\. They are most well known as the first "real" band (after high school effort Conservative Itch/Coitus Interruptus) of guitarist John Reis, who would later gain fame as the frontman in Rocket from the Crypt, and as the first collaboration between Reis and singer Rick Froberg (the two would later form Drive Like Jehu and Hot Snakes). As an aspiring visual artist and illustrator, Froberg provided most of the band's artwork while Reis developed his studio skills by acting as producer on their records.
Mass Transit incident (professional wrestling)
, photographed here in 1998 The **Mass Transit incident** was a professional wrestling controversy that took place during an Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) house show on November 23, 1996, at the Wonderland Ballroom in Revere, Massachusetts, United States. 17\-year\-old Erich Kulas, an aspiring professional wrestler who used the ring name "Mass Transit", was seriously injured in a tag team match against The Gangstas; the most severe injury occurred when Kulas was bladed too deeply by Jerome "New Jack" Young, severing two of his arteries. Further controversy arose when it came to light that Kulas had lied to ECW owner and booker Paul Heyman about his age and professional wrestling training. The incident led to the temporary cancellation of the inaugural ECW pay\-per\-view *Barely Legal* and legal action against Young. Due to Kulas' deception, however, *Barely Legal* was reinstated and the legal action ended in Young's favor.

Glyoxylic acid
**Glyoxylic acid** or **oxoacetic acid** is an organic compound. Together with acetic acid, glycolic acid, and oxalic acid, glyoxylic acid is one of the C2 carboxylic acids. It is a colourless solid that occurs naturally and is useful industrially. Structure and nomenclature -------------------------- The structure of glyoxylic acid is shown as having an aldehyde functional group. The aldehyde is only a minor component of the form most prevalent in some situations. Instead, glyoxalic acid often exists as a hydrate or a cyclic dimer. For example, in the presence of water, the carbonyl rapidly converts to a geminal diol (described as the "monohydrate"). The equilibrium constant (K*) is 300 for the formation of **dihydroxyacetic acid** at room temperature: Dihydroxyacetic acid has been characterized by X\-ray crystallography.* In aqueous solution, this monohydrate exists in equilibrium with a hemiacylal dimer form:Georges Mattioda and Yani Christidis “Glyoxylic Acid” Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 2002, Wiley\-VCH, Weinheim. In isolation, the aldehyde structure has as a major conformer a cyclic hydrogen\-bonded structure with the aldehyde carbonyl in close proximity to the carboxyl hydrogen: The Henry's law constant of glyoxylic acid is KH \= 1\.09 × 104 × exp\[(40\.0 × 103/R) × (1/T − 1/298\)]. Preparations ------------ The conjugate base of glyoxylic acid is known as **glyoxylate** and is the form that the compound exists in solution at neutral pH. Glyoxylate is the byproduct of the amidation process in biosynthesis of several amidated peptides. For the historical record, glyoxylic acid was prepared from oxalic acid electrosynthetically: in organic synthesis, lead dioxide cathodes were applied for preparing glyoxylic acid from oxalic acid in a sulfuric acid electrolyte. Hot nitric acid can oxidize glyoxal to glyoxylic; however this reaction is highly exothermic and prone to thermal runaway. In addition, oxalic acid is the main side product. Also, ozonolysis of maleic acid is effective. Biological role --------------- Glyoxylate is an intermediate of the glyoxylate cycle, which enables organisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and plants to convert fatty acids into carbohydrates. The glyoxylate cycle is also important for induction of plant defense mechanisms in response to fungi. The glyoxylate cycle is initiated through the activity of isocitrate lyase, which converts isocitrate into glyoxylate and succinate. Research is being done to co\-opt the pathway for a variety of uses such as the biosynthesis of succinate. ### In humans Glyoxylate is produced via two pathways: through the oxidation of glycolate in peroxisomes or through the catabolism of hydroxyproline in mitochondria. In the peroxisomes, glyoxylate is converted into glycine by AGT1 or into oxalate by glycolate oxidase. In the mitochondria, glyoxylate is converted into glycine by AGT2 or into glycolate by glyoxylate reductase. A small amount of glyoxylate is converted into oxalate by cytoplasmic lactate dehydrogenase. [center\|thumb\|600x600px\|Oxalate and glyoxylate metabolism in hepatocytes. AGT1 and 2, alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase 1 and 2; GO, glycolate oxidase; GR, glyoxylate reductase; HKGA, 4\-hydroxy\-2\-ketoglutarate lyase; LDH, lactate dehydrogenase](/wiki/File:Glyoxylate_metabolism_in_hepatocytes.jpg "Glyoxylate metabolism in hepatocytes.jpg") ### In plants In addition to being an intermediate in the glyoxylate cycle, glyoxylate is also an important intermediate in the photorespiration pathway. Photorespiration is a result of the side reaction of RuBisCO with O2 instead of CO2. While at first considered a waste of energy and resources, photorespiration has been shown to be an important method of regenerating carbon and CO2, removing toxic phosphoglycolate, and initiating defense mechanisms. In photorespiration, glyoxylate is converted from glycolate through the activity of glycolate oxidase in the peroxisome. It is then converted into glycine through parallel actions by SGAT and GGAT, which is then transported into the mitochondria. It has also been reported that the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex may play a role in glycolate and glyoxylate metabolism. [center\|thumb\|600x600px\|Basic overview of photorespiration in Arabidopsis. GGAT, glyoxylate:glutamate aminotransferase; GLYK, glycerate kinase; GO, glycolate oxidase; HPR, hydroxypyruvate reductase; PGLP, phosphoglycolate phosphatase; Rubisco, RuBP carboxylase/oxygenase; SGAT, serine:glyoxylate aminotransferase; SHM, serine hydroxymethyltransferase](/wiki/File:Photorespiration_in_arabidopsis.jpg "Photorespiration in arabidopsis.jpg") Disease relevance ----------------- ### Diabetes Glyoxylate is thought to be a potential early marker for Type II diabetes. One of the key conditions of diabetes pathology is the production of advanced glycation end\-products (AGEs) caused by the hyperglycemia. AGEs can lead to further complications of diabetes, such as tissue damage and cardiovascular disease. They are generally formed from reactive aldehydes, such as those present on reducing sugars and alpha\-oxoaldehydes. In a study, glyoxylate levels were found to be significantly increased in patients who were later diagnosed with Type II diabetes. The elevated levels were found sometimes up to three years before the diagnosis, demonstrating the potential role for glyoxylate to be an early predictive marker. ### Nephrolithiasis Glyoxylate is involved in the development of hyperoxaluria, a key cause of nephrolithiasis (commonly known as kidney stones). Glyoxylate is both a substrate and inductor of sulfate anion transporter\-1 (sat\-1\), a gene responsible for oxalate transportation, allowing it to increase sat\-1 mRNA expression and as a result oxalate efflux from the cell. The increased oxalate release allows the buildup of calcium oxalate in the urine, and thus the eventual formation of kidney stones. The disruption of glyoxylate metabolism provides an additional mechanism of hyperoxaluria development. Loss of function mutations in the HOGA1 gene leads to a loss of the 4\-hydroxy\-2\-oxoglutarate aldolase, an enzyme in the hydroxyproline to glyoxylate pathway. The glyoxylate resulting from this pathway is normally stored away to prevent oxidation to oxalate in the cytosol. The disrupted pathway, however, causes a buildup of 4\-hydroxy\-2\-oxoglutarate which can also be transported to the cytosol and converted into glyoxylate through a different aldolase. These glyoxylate molecules can be oxidized into oxalate increasing its concentration and causing hyperoxaluria. Reactions and uses ------------------ Glyoxylic acid is about ten times stronger an acid than acetic acid, with an acid dissociation constant of 4\.7 × 10−4 (pK''a \= 3\.32\): OCHCO2H \+ H\+ With concentrated base, glyoxylic acid disproportionates via a Cannizzaro reaction, forming hydroxyacetic acid and oxalic acid: 2 OCHCO2H \+ H2O → HOCH2CO2H \+ HO2CCO2H Glyoxylic acid gives heterocycles upon condensation with urea and 1,2\-diaminobenzene.

William Savile, 2nd Marquess of Halifax
**William Savile, 2nd Marquess of Halifax** (1665 – 31 August 1700\), was the son of George Savile, 1st Viscount Halifax and Dorothy Savile, Viscountess Halifax (née Spencer). He was educated in Geneva in 1677 and matriculated at Christ Church, Oxford, in 1681, but did not take a degree. He travelled on the continent in 1684–1687, returning on his brother's death. From that time, he was known as Lord Elland, from his father's subsidiary title of Baron Savile of Elland. He was elected Member of Parliament for Newark\-on\-Trent from 1689 to 1695\. He was a Tory and voted in 1689 that the throne was not vacant. He had four daughters including: * By his first wife, Elizabeth Grimston, the daughter of Sir Samuel Grimston and Lady Elizabeth Finch, whom he married on 24 November 1687: + Lady Anne Savile (1691 – 18 July 1717\) who married Charles Bruce, 4th Earl of Elgin (1682–1747\) * By his second wife, Lady Mary Finch, who was the first cousin of his first wife, daughter of Daniel Finch, 7th Earl of Winchilsea, whom he married on 2 April 1695 + Lady Mary Savile, who in 1722 married Sackville Tufton, 7th Earl of Thanet, and died in 1751 + Lady Dorothy Savile (1699–1758\), who married Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington. He died in 1700, at an early age from "an inward feavour". He died without male issue, so his peerages became extinct, but the baronetcy was inherited by a cousin.

Notre Dame College (New Hampshire)
**Notre Dame College** was a Roman Catholic college located in Manchester, New Hampshire, United States, and affiliated with the Sisters of Holy Cross of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. After more than 50 years of operation, it closed in May 2002, due to "difficult enrollment and financial issues."
Annulus (mycology)
mushroom. An **annulus** is the ring\-like or collar\-like structure sometimes found on the stipe of some species of mushrooms. The annulus represents the remnants of the partial veil, after it has ruptured to expose the gills or other spore\-producing surface. It can also be called a **ring** which is what the Latin word annulus directly translates as. The modern usage of the Latin word originates from the early days of botany and mycology when species descriptions were only written in Latin. Outside of the formal setting of scientific publications which still have a Latin requirement, it will often just be referred to as a ring or stem ring in field guides and on identification websites.

Deusto
**Deusto**, also known as **Deustu** in Basque and formerly known as *San Pedro de Deusto*, is one of the eight districts of Bilbao, Spain. It is located on the right side of the Bilbao estuary, in the northwestern part of the city and bordering the estuary itself on the south and the southern hillside of Mount Artxanda and Mount Bandera on the north. Deusto was originally an elizate and also a municipality until 1925 when it was completely annexed by Bilbao in order to expand the free land available to the city. Deusto is known as the university district of the city as it is home to the University of Deusto and the Faculty of Economics and Business of the University of the Basque Country.
Accessory obturator nerve
In human anatomy, the **accessory obturator nerve** is an accessory nerve in the lumbar region present in about 29% of cases. It is of small size, and arises from the ventral divisions of the third and fourth lumbar nerves. Recent evidence support that this nerve arises from dorsal divisions. It descends along the medial border of the psoas major, crosses the superior ramus of the pubis, and passes under the pectineus, where it divides into numerous branches. One of these supplies the pectineus, penetrating its deep surface, another is distributed to the hip\-joint; while a third communicates with the anterior branch of the obturator nerve. Occasionally the accessory obturator nerve is very small and is lost in the capsule of the hip\-joint. When it is absent, the hip\-joint receives two branches from the obturator nerve.
Backstage pass
A **backstage pass** is a credential which allows its bearer access to restricted areas at a performance or conference venue, most commonly associated with music and entertainment events. Backstage passes can come in the form of lanyards, stickers or wristbands. To deter counterfeiting, these passes often include holograms and unique artwork. After the performance, backstage passes often become memorabilia sold on online marketplaces, especially when the pass is signed by a performer.
Ecotheology
**Ecotheology** is a form of constructive theology that focuses on the interrelationships of religion and nature, particularly in the light of environmental concerns. Ecotheology generally starts from the premise that a relationship exists between human religious/spiritual worldviews and the degradation or restoration and preservation of nature. It explores the interaction between ecological values, such as sustainability, and the human domination of nature. The movement has produced numerous religious\-environmental projects around the world. The burgeoning awareness of environmental crisis has led to widespread religious reflection on the human relationship with the earth. Such reflection has strong precedents in most religious traditions in the realms of ethics and cosmology, and can be seen as a subset or corollary to the theology of nature. It is important to keep in mind that ecotheology explores not only the relationship between religion and nature in terms of degradation of nature, but also in terms of ecosystem management in general. Specifically, ecotheology seeks not only to identify prominent issues within the relationship between nature and religion, but also to outline potential solutions. This is of particular importance because many supporters and contributors of ecotheology argue that science and education are simply not enough to inspire the change necessary in our current environmental crisis. There is not a clear distinction between environmental theology and ecotheology, though the term environmental theology might indicate a theology in which environmental ethics is established prior to one's understanding of the meaning of God.
1984–85 European Cup
The **1984–85 European Cup** tournament was overshadowed by the Heysel Stadium disaster that happened prior to the final match. That edition was won for the first time by Juventus in a 1–0 win against defending champions Liverpool. At sporting level, with this result they became the first club to have won all three major European trophies (European Cup/UEFA Champions League, UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League, and the Cup Winners' Cup), as well *a posteriori* as the one that needed the shortest amount of time to complete this (8 years). Following the disaster, English clubs received a five\-year ban from entering any European competition, thus ending a period of great success for English clubs in the European Cup which had seen three clubs winning seven finals since 1977, including six successive finals up to 1982\. Liverpool, English champions in 1989–90, were given an extra year's ban. There would be no English club to win the trophy until 1999, when Manchester United beat Bayern Munich 2–1\.
Old European hydronymy
**Old European** () is the term used by Hans Krahe (1964\) for the language of the oldest reconstructed stratum of European hydronymy (river names) in Central and Western Europe.Hans Krahe, *Unsere ältesten Flussnamen*, Wiesbaden Edition Otto Harrassowiitz (1964\)"Old European" in this sense is not to be confused with the term as used by Marija Gimbutas who applies it to non\-Indo\-European or pre\-Indo\-European Neolithic Europe.

Rare-earth mineral
A **rare\-earth mineral** contains one or more rare\-earth elements as major metal constituents. Rare\-earth minerals are usually found in association with alkaline to peralkaline igneous complexes in pegmatites. This would be associated with alkaline magmas or with carbonatite intrusives. Perovskite mineral phases are common hosts to rare\-earth elements within the alkaline complexes. Minerals are the solid composer of inorganic substances. They are formed through the atomic movement of fluid which can be derived from evaporation, pressure or any physical change. They are mostly determined through their atomic weight. The minerals that are known as 'rare' earth minerals are considered rare due to their unique geochemical makeup and properties. These substances are not normally found in mining affiliated clusters. Thus an indication of these minerals being short in supply and allocated their title as 'rare' earth minerals. Many rare\-earth minerals include rare\-earth elements which thus hold the same significant purpose of rare\-earth minerals. Earth's rare minerals have a wide range of purposes, including defense technologies and day\-to\-day uses. This would be associated with alkaline magmas or with carbonatite intrusives. Perovskite mineral phases are common hosts to rare\-earth elements within the alkaline complexes. Mantle\-derived carbonate melts are also carriers of the rare earths. Hydrothermal deposits associated with alkaline magmatism contain a variety of rare\-earth minerals. Rare\-earth minerals are usually found in association with alkaline to peralkaline igneous complexes in pegmatites. The following includes the relatively common hydrothermal rare\-earth minerals and minerals that often contain significant rare\-earth substitution: * aeschynite\-(Ce) * aeschynite\-(Y) * allanite * apatite * bastnäsite * britholite * brockite * cerite * dollaseite\-(Ce) * fluocerite * fluorite * gadolinite * monazite * parisite\-(Ce) * parisite\-(La) * stillwellite * synchysite * titanite * wakefieldite * xenotime * zircon

Cytoplasmic male sterility
**Cytoplasmic male sterility** is total or partial male sterility in hermaphrodite organisms, as the result of specific nuclear and mitochondrial interactions. Male sterility is the failure to produce functional anthers, pollen, or male gametes. Such male sterility in hermaphrodite populations leads to gynodioecious populations (populations with coexisting fully functioning hermaphrodites and male\-sterile hermaphrodites). Cytoplasmic male sterility, as the name indicates, is under extranuclear genetic control (under control of the mitochondrial or plastid genomes). It shows non\-Mendelian inheritance, with male sterility inherited maternally. In general, there are two types of cytoplasm: N (normal) and aberrant S (sterile) cytoplasms. These types exhibit reciprocal differences.

Microchess
***Microchess***, sometimes written as *MicroChess*, is a chess program developed for the MOS Technology KIM\-1 microcomputer by Peter R. Jennings in 1976, and published by his company Micro\-Ware. The game plays chess against the human player at a beginner level, with the player entering moves via a keyboard and the computer responding, both in a custom chess notation. The game was ported to many other microcomputers such as the TRS\-80, Apple II, Commodore PET, and Atari 8\-bit computers by Micro\-Ware and its successor company Personal Software (later VisiCorp) between 1976 and 1980, with later versions featuring graphics and more levels of play. A dedicated hardware version of the game called *ChessMate* was produced by Commodore International in 1978, and the game's engine was licensed to Novag for its dedicated *Chess Champion Mk II* chess computer in 1979\. The game was created by Jennings over the course of around six months in 1976\. He developed it with the aim of making a product that could be widely sold, rather than as the most advanced chess engine possible. It was possibly the first computer game to be sold commercially, and was the first commercial chess program for microcomputers and the first software package to sell 50,000 copies. Micro\-Ware itself was possibly the first software publishing company. *Microchess* ultimately sold over a million copies across all of its versions by the mid\-1980s, and variants were sold into the early 1990s. Despite being commercially successful, it has been largely regarded by critics as a poor chess game.
