Today, it is a Rijksmonument heritage site. History The predecessor bridge dated from 1878. Its configuration as a swing bridge proved an obstacle to shipping (the most notable incident occurring in 1918, when the bridge was struck by the German vessel Kandelfels), and it was replaced by a lift bridge in 1927. It was the first bridge of this kind in western Europe. The bridge was the subject of a 1928 film by Joris Ivens, titled De brug.

and ending the first period up 3–0. Robert Morris made a valiant effort to try and come back in the final 40 minutes, but Christopoulos was far too strong in net and the Falcons won the match by a comfortable 5–1 margin, earning the program's 7th Atlantic Hockey championship and a trip back to the NCAA tournament. NCAA tournament Though the team had been good over the preceding two and a half months, it was no surprise when Air Force was given the lowest seed for the tournament. That entitled the Falcons to a date with #1 St. Cloud State. The game started slowly but the Air Force needed to kill of two penalties in the later half of the first period to keep the Huskies from getting a lead. Early in the second, Ledford scored twice in the span of just over 3:30 to give the Falcons a surprising 2–0 lead. Afterwards, St. Cloud woke up and began attacking the Air Force goal. Christopoulos turned aside 18 shots in the middle frame to keep the Huskies from scoring. The upperclassmen continued to stymie St. Cloud State in the third but finally allowed the puck to get past him with just under 3 minutes left in regulation. The Huskies pulled their goalie in a desperate attempt to tie the game, but Air Force managed to collect two empty-net goals to win the match 4–1. One win away from its first Frozen Four, the team was completely outplayed in the first period against Minnesota–Duluth. Air Force was outshot 0–14 and allowed two goals. The Bulldogs pulled back and played a defensive game in the final 40 minutes but that gave the Falcons a chance to tie the match. Though they only managed 12 shots in that time, Evan Giesler scored a power play goal in the middle part of the third period to cut the lead in half and the Falcons desperately tried to score the tying goal. Unfortunately, it wasn't to be and the Falcons were knocked out in the quarterfinal round.

Early on it appeared that the Falcons were going to live up to the expectations when new starting goaltender, Billy Christopoulos, filled in ably for the departed Shane Starett. However, after beginning 5–1–1, the team's offense faltered and the Falcons went through a rough patch in November and December. The defense kept Air Force in most of their games, but the Falcons were finding it difficult to score. By the end of the year, the team found itself under .500 and wallowing near the bottom of the conference standings. Christopoulos raised his game in the second half of the season, keeping the opposition to 2 goals or fewer on most nights. The offense, too, redoubled its efforts and the Falcons began to score once more. Slowly, the team climbed out of the cellar and moved up the standings. By the end of February, Air Force had miraculously pulled into a 3-way tie for 3rd place in the conference and entered the Atlantic Hockey Tournament with a bye into the quarterfinal round. Conference tournament As their postseason began, Air Force's only chance at making the NCAA Tournament was to win their conference. To do that, they would first have to overcome Army on the road. After winning the first game 5–3, the Falcons got into a defensive struggle with the Black Knights.

have been several mining proposals, but the possible environmental consequences have been contentious. Geography The Barrytown Flats are at 42º 10' S, north of Greymouth on the West Coast of the South Island, and immediately south of the pancake rocks of Dolomite Point, Punakaiki. They are in length north–south, up to wide east–west, bounded by the Tasman Sea to the west and the Paparoa Range to the east. The southern end of the flats is defined by the headland Seventeen Mile Bluff, and their northern end by Razorback Point and the mouth of the Punakaiki River This coastal plain is mostly below in altitude, reaching at points, and is crossed by numerous creeks and waterways, the most significant from south to north being Fagan Creek, Granite Creek (near Barrytown), Little Granite Creek, Canoe Creek (which roughly bisects the flats), Deverys Creek, Maher Creek, Waiwhero Creek, and Hibernia Creek (which flows into Nikau Scenic Reserve). Geology The eastern boundary of the flats consists of former sea cliffs, and the flats themselves were formed after the end of the last glaciation from coastal progradation – the accumulation of sediment washed down from the hills. Gravel fans have been created by creeks, especially Granite Creek and Canoe Creek, and sandy sediment is constantly carried along the coast by wave action, creating an almost straight shoreline. The Barrytown sands contain gold, ilmenite, garnet, and zircon at sufficient levels to be of economic interest. Flora and fauna The most significant remnant of the flats' original vegetation is Nikau Scenic Reserve, a 20 ha block stretching from the coast to the post-glacial cliff. The reserve is notable for containing a full sequence of coastal vegetation. Towards the hills it consists of forest dominated by northern rātā (Metrosideros robusta) and rimu (Dacrydium cupressinum), along with kamahi (Weinmannia racemosa), toro (Rapanea salicina), and nīkau (Rhopalostylis sapida). The sand-dune forest is mostly totara (Podocarpus laetus and P. totara). The younger coastal ridges contain totara, kōwhai (Sophora microphylla) and akeake (Olearia avicenniifolia), and on their seaward side gorse, flax (Phormium spp.) and Coprosma propinqua. In 2008, 80 ha of Barrytown Flats land owned by Rio Tinto, previously earmarked for ilmenite mining, was designated Te Ara Taiko Nature reserve. A restoration project run by the Department of Conservation (DOC) and Conservation Volunteers New Zealand had planted 200,000 trees on the site by February 2020. History The beach at Barrytown Flats was known to local Māori as Pakiroa, | drier areas of the flats have been converted into pasture, but significant areas of forest remain, including Nikau Scenic Reserve. The flats are bordered by Paparoa National Park and the only breeding site of the Westland petrel (Procellaria westlandica). There are significant deposits of ilmenite (titanium dioxide) in the Barrytown sands, and there have been several mining proposals, but the possible environmental consequences have been contentious. Geography The Barrytown Flats are at 42º 10' S, north of Greymouth on the West Coast of the South Island, and immediately south of the pancake rocks of Dolomite Point, Punakaiki. They are in length north–south, up to wide east–west, bounded by the Tasman Sea to the west and the Paparoa Range to the east. The southern end of the flats is defined by the headland Seventeen Mile Bluff, and their northern end by Razorback Point and the mouth of the Punakaiki River This coastal plain is mostly below in altitude, reaching at points, and is crossed by numerous creeks and waterways, the most significant from south to north being Fagan Creek, Granite Creek (near Barrytown), Little Granite Creek, Canoe Creek (which roughly bisects the flats), Deverys Creek, Maher Creek, Waiwhero Creek, and Hibernia Creek (which flows into Nikau Scenic Reserve). Geology The eastern boundary of the flats consists of former sea cliffs, and the flats themselves were formed after the end of the last glaciation from coastal progradation – the accumulation of sediment washed down from the hills. Gravel fans have been created by creeks, especially Granite Creek and Canoe Creek, and sandy sediment is constantly carried along the coast by wave action, creating an almost straight shoreline. The Barrytown sands contain gold, ilmenite, garnet, and zircon at sufficient levels to be of economic interest. Flora |

Of these, 473 were converted into active accesses. The number of users participating in the final votes was up to 50 users. For citizen initiatives, the average voting participation was 22.07 users, and for administrative initiatives, 27.86 users. A representative of the district CDU announced at a district council meeting that it would only agree to continue the project if at least an average of 100 to 200 users regularly participated in the voting by the end of the test phase. In May 2014, Stephan Eisel published his analysis "Liquid Friesland - a failed experiment", referring to the extremely low citizen participation in the platform and triggering heated discussions. In 2015, Eisel even assessed LiquidFriesland as an "Internet corpse." In response to the September 2014 evaluation report, Sönke Klug, press spokesman for the district of Friesland, stated that success could not be measured by user numbers: "Around 550 people who are interested in district politics, who receive information via newsletter, are considerably more than before who actively exercise their civil rights. From our point of view, this is a great success." Apart from that, District Administrator Ambrosy had already argued in September 2013 at a meeting of the Friesland District Council that rights should not be cancelled if they were not (sufficiently) exercised. Because a democracy lives from the possibility. Its essence is that it grants rights - which one exercises or does not exercise. In October 2015, the SPD/Green group in the Friesland County Council, together with County Administrator Ambrosy, announced that the LiquidFriesland platform was to be "reanimated". Günter Hoffmann of the Wiener Zeitung pointed out in February 2015 that digital top-down procedures had proven to be a successful model (not only in the district of Friesland). This did not surprise him, he said, because participation platforms originally came from industry. There, they are used in particular by IT companies in product development to bundle the idle and partially decoupled knowledge of employees working separately and to let it flow into product development. In other companies, the software is used for greater customer integration. In this way, trends can be identified at an early stage and innovation cycles can be greatly shortened through continuous feedback, and potential errors can often be detected and corrected more quickly. This development is now also reaching those responsible in the municipalities. Every fourth authority wants to involve its citizens more in administrative decisions and is therefore investing in dialog. According to Hoffmann, small municipalities in particular want to use electronic participation platforms to improve citizen involvement in political and administrative decisions. Participedia recommends, "To have a future and be a model for other projects of a similar nature, Friesland probably needs to look for ways to make participation attractive to other user groups and over a longer period of time." To increase the attractiveness of LiquidFriesland, all documents submitted to county council members for deliberations in public meetings will be made digitally accessible to all accredited participants starting in 2015. The Landkreis Görlitz emphasizes in the open-ended investigation of the question of whether LiquidFriesland is a model worth imitating for it that "the analysis of already existing participation formats with regard to their degree of effectiveness as well as the involvement and qualification of the population already during the introduction of such an instrument [...] are conditions for the sustainable success of such a format".

Romanian historian Lucian Boia has shown himself against the use of the phrase, saying that, in his opinion, it is not appropiate to say that "Bessarabia is Romania" because Moldova "has its own history and its own challenges" and because, at the time of his declarations, most Moldovans preferred to remain independent rather than uniting with Romania as indicated by certain polls, although he admitted the similarities between the two countries.

their territory from that of the Mariches. Oviedo y Baños also states that the territory of the Quiriques bordered that of the Teques, writing: "Their towns extended along the banks of the Tuy for more than twenty-five leagues, up to the western boundary with the Tumusa tribe". They also bordered the Arbacos and Meregotos. These indigenous groups maintained political autonomy, but they allied with each other to resist the Spanish invasion. Account Apacuana's name has also been transliterated as Apacuane, Apakuama or Apakuana. Writer Emilio Salazar claims that the name Apakuama comes from the Cumanagoto language, meaning "beautiful mountain", and formed by the words apak ("mountain") and uama ("beautiful"). Oviedo y Baños introduces her as an "elderly sorceress and herbalist". Therefore, she is considered to have been a piache, that is, a curandera, a term used in Hispanic America to call a healer or shaman. Today, Apacuana is also described as a cacica, the feminine form of cacique, an exonym used to dessignate indigenous tribal chiefs in Hispanic America. She was the mother of the cacique Guásema, also transliterated as Guacema. Apacuana was highly respected in her community, both for her role as a sorceress as well as political leader, which allowed her to instigate an attack against the Spanish. In 1577, under the idea of Apacuana, the Quiriquires attacked the Spanish encomenderos Garci-González and Francisco Infante as they traversed their territory. In the conquest era of the 15th century, the comenderos were the holders of a grant awarded by the Spanish Crown called encomienda, which gave them the monopoly on the labor of particular groups of indigenous peoples. The badly wounded Garci-González managed to carry the also injured Francisco Infante on his shoulders and reach Caracas, causing the outrage of the mayors and residents of the town. In response, they sent a force of 50 Spaniards and some Teques, led by the prominent Caracas neighbor Sancho García, to the territory of the Quiriquires in order to punish them. Upon entering the territory of the Quiriquires, García's mission was constantly attacked by ambushes from warriors who guarded the roads, although they managed to eventually reach the settlement where Garci-González and Francisco Infante had been attacked. Finding the settlement empty, Garcia burned it down, as well as all the others he encountered on the valley. Meanwhile, the natives organized themselves and planned a surprise attack on the military unit. However, the Spaniards became aware of the plan after finding an indigenous man and torturing him to extract a confession. The unit headed to the place where the natives would gather before the attack, where they found some caciques—among them Acuareyapa—with around 500 warriors waiting for more to arrive. During the battle, the natives were scattered or killed, while others were taken prisoner, among them Apacuana. Recounting the capture and subsequent death of Apacuana, Oviedo y Baños wrote: Sancho García, exhausted from this assault, gathered with his men at the quebrada, where among several prisoners captured that night, one was immediately recognized as Apacuana, Cacique Guásema's mother. She had been the primary instigator of the uprising, and as a result of her efficacious counsel the Indians had conceived their daring treachery. As punishment, Sancho García ordered her to be hanged and left hanging for all to see, so that her cadaver would move the other Indians to horror. This action brought complete pacification of that rebellious tribe, as the natives, in terror at Apacuana's torture, and broken by the loss of more than two hundred warriors, at first retired to the sierras | continued to offer resistance to the Spanish, most notably in 1660. Although often ignored by the hegemonic historiography of Venezuela, Apacuana is regarded a national symbol of indigenous resistance, as well as a notable figure in the country's women's history. On International Women's Day 2017, the national government transferred the symbolic remains of the indigenous leader to the National Pantheon of Venezuela, where the main figures of the country's history rest. In 2018, a seven-meter statue of Apacuana was placed in Caracas, causing controversy by replacing an old monument that was considered by some as a symbol of the city. Background The story of Apacuana comes from José de Oviedo y Baños' book The Conquest and Settlement of Venezuela (in Spanish: Historia de la conquista y población de la Provincia de Venezuela), a foundational work on Venezuelan history written around 1710, nearly a century and a half after it happened. Oviedo y Baños' main historical source is Fray Pedro Simón's book Noticias historiales de las conquistas de Tierra Firme en las Indias Occidentales (1626). He also went through the books of the Caracas town hall (Spanish: Ayuntamiento de Caracas) while serving as Alcalde de primer voto in 1710, a judicial and administrative title in the Spanish Viceroyalties in the Americas responsible for the administration of justice within their municipal jurisdiction. Apacuana belonged to the indigenous Quiriquires (also transliterated as Kirikires), a branch of the Carib people that lived in the Valles del Tuy, the valley around the Tuy River, in the north-central region of Venezuela. The other ethnic groups that inhabited the area at the time the Spanish arrived were the Arbacos, Caracas, Chagaragatos, Mariches, Meregotos, Taramainas, Tarmas and Teques. In various sections of the book, Oviedo y Baños indicates the location of the Quiriquires. In one passage, he says that the group inhabited an extensive area located in the "thick mountains" on the banks of the Tuy River, which divided their territory from that of the Mariches. Oviedo y Baños also states that the territory of the Quiriques bordered that of the Teques, writing: "Their towns extended along the banks of the Tuy for more than twenty-five leagues, up to the western boundary with the Tumusa tribe". They also bordered the Arbacos and Meregotos. These indigenous groups maintained political autonomy, but they allied with each other to resist the Spanish invasion.

these were rare instances wherte the LNU got its way in controversial issues. Peace Ballot The most famous operation of the LNU was its organisation of the Peace Ballot of 1935. It asked British adults to decide on questions relating to international disarmament and collective security. The Peace Ballot was a private operation not an official government-sponsored referendum. More than eleven million people participated in it, representing strong support for the aims and objectives of the League of Nations, influencing policy makers and politicians. The results were publicised worldwide. The vote for military action against international aggressors, as a matter of last resort, was almost three-to-one. Educational programmes The LNU was highly successful in reaching schools; teachers were eager to join. It provided publications, films, speakers and lesson plans that were endorsed by Local Education Authorities, and the National Union of Teachers. Brian J. Elliott shows the material downplayed simple moralism, criticized narrow nationalism and gave historical studies a broad European perspective. British role in major panels Conference of Ambassadors "The Conference of Ambassadors of the Principal Allied and Associated Powers" was an inter-allied organization of the Allies of World War I following World War I. Formed in Paris in January 1920, it was the successor of the Supreme War Council and was soon incorporated into the League of Nations. It became less active after the Locarno Treaties of 1925 and formally ceased to exist in 1931. The Conference consisted of ambassadors of the United States Great Britain, Italy, and Japan accredited in Paris and French minister of foreign affairs. The American ambassador attended as an observer because the United States was not an official party to the Treaty of Versailles. French diplomat René Massigli was its secretary-general for its entire existence. It was chaired by French foreign ministers, among them Georges Clemenceau, Raymond Poincaré and Aristide Briand. The most important British action in the Conference was brokering an agreement in 1923 between Italy and Greece in the Corfu incident. When brigands murdered several Italian diplomats on the Greek island of Corfu, the Mussolini government issued an overnight ultimatum, bombarded the island, and demanded a large cash payment. Britain brokered a settlement that favored the Italians. Most historians consider it a failure that underlined the basic weakness of the League of Nations when dealing with a powerful member. A minority opinion of historians argues that British action was suitable and honourable. British role in major proposals Åland Islands dispute of 1920–21 When Finland was part of Russia, it controlled the Åland Islands. In 1920 now that Finland was independent, Sweden called on the principle of self-determination, pointing out the island population was 90% Swedish and wished to join Sweden. The British took the lead in setting terms for negotiations before the League of Nations. It ruled in favour of Finland in 1921. Admission of Albania and Bulgaria After extensive debate on the question of admitting Albania and Bulgaria, Lord Cecil proved most convincing, and secured their admission in late 1920. Admission of Germany The admission of Germany was much more complicated. Britain under Lloyd George strongly recommended admission, but France was bitterly hostile. The Germans misplayed their diplomacy so badly that the British gave up trying. The 1924 Locarno agreement enabled German admission, but there were further delays caused by a crisis over giving a permanent seat on the Council to Spain or Brazil. Germany was finally admitted in 1926 and given the permanent seat in question. David Carlton argues that Foreign Minister Austen Chamberlain badly mismanaged Britain's role, defied public opinion inside Britain, and made many Europeans hostile to Britain. Treaty of Mutual Guarantee disarmament was a high priority for the League but it proved increasingly difficult to come up with a solution. The problem is that if almost everyone was disarmed, the remaining armed power would be very dangerous. In the context of Europe in the 1920s, the fear was that Germany could quickly rearm, threaten the neighbor, and the disarmed members of the League would be helpless to stop it. Lord Cecil (at the time a delegate from South Africa) proposed a solution in 1922 called the Treaty of Mutual Guarantee. Every country that signed, and had reduced its armaments according to the agreed schedule, would be protected. If anyone attacked it, the Treaty would guarantee that the victim would be immediately support by all the other signatories. France and Britain, although quarreling on many other issues, supported the proposal. As the other nations debated the proposal, confusion and difficulty arose – some governments said the proposal went too far, others said it did not go far enough, and few were actually satisfied with it. Latin American states ignored the issue. The report of the Permanent Elements Commission, representing military leaders, said such a treaty would never work. Finally in September 1923 a French draft retitled the "Treaty of Mutual Assistance" was supported by majority, with a large dissenting minority. At the time Italy and Greece were at swords' point, so the proposed treaty was not just a hypothetical solution to imaginary problems. Lord Cecil, now a member of the British government, built up support. The new version would empower the Consul to designate an aggressor, apply economic sanctions, mobilize military forces, and supervise their action. This indeed is what happened in 1950 when the United Nations entered the Korean War, but at this point there was little enthusiasm from any government. The Soviet Union and United States rejected the proposed treaty. Germany was critical. Italy and France gave support. The British dominions were opposed. The death blow came in Geneva on 4 September 1924 when Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald rejected it and called instead for a system of arbitrating disputes. Geneva Protocol of 1924 A draft treaty was assembled in 1923 that made aggressive war illegal and bound the member states to defend victims of aggression by force. Since the onus of responsibility would, in practice, be on the great powers of the League, it was vetoed by Great Britain, who feared that this pledge would strain its own commitment to police its British Empire. The "Geneva Protocol for the Pacific Settlement of International Disputes" was a proposal by British Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald and his French counterpart Édouard Herriot. It set up compulsory arbitration of disputes and created a method to determine the aggressor in international conflicts. All legal disputes between nations would be submitted to the World Court. It called for a disarmament conference in 1925. Any government that refused to comply in a dispute would be named an aggressor. Any victim of aggression was to receive immediate assistance from League members. British Conservatives condemned the proposal for fear that it would lead to conflict with the United States, which also opposed the proposal. The British Dominions strongly opposed it. The Conservatives came to power in Britain and in March 1925 the proposal was shelved and never reintroduced.

He strongly urged a plebiscite to which Poland could agree, most Poles being Catholic. Also, Drummond seemed to be pro-active. On the crisis between Russia and Finland over the latter's independence gained after the First World War, Drummond was one of the first to consider a possible solution. Another important factor of his secretary-generalship was his willingness to step beyond the boundaries given to him in his position. During the crisis over the Chaco War near the end of Drummond's career at the League, he was praised for being a helpful mediator and for doing more than his position allowed. Mukden Incident One of the less successful moments for Drummond was one of the most prominent crises of Drummond's career, the Mukden Incident. China allegedly blew up part of a railroad, which Japan then used as an excuse to invade Manchuria. China appealed to the League for measures against Japan. According to Michael E. Chapman, Drummond's initial response was not that of an imperialistic western leader but that of a bureaucrat. Somewhat limited in his powers, he looked towards the two most powerful Western nations in the region, Britain and the United States, which more or less stated that they were 'too busy' to deal with the crisis at hand. When the crisis reached its peak, Stimson advised Drummond to "strengthen and support treaty obligations" the Japanese action had caused British discomfort. He was advised to try not to arouse nationalist feelings in Japan. Drummond wanted to be an active player in the crisis but was mostly outplayed by Henry Stimson and Hugh R. Wilson. Public opinion in Britain British public opinion was generally favorable toward the League, providing its major basis of popular and financial support. However Conservatives were generally suspicious, especially regarding the danger of naval disarmament to its control of the oceans. David Lloyd George, prime Minister until 1922, believed that the League without the United States was a member was a worthless and probably dangerous organization. He quietly made sure that it dealt with minor items of little importance, and this approach was largely supported by the other powerful member France. (Russia and Germany were not members at first.) The league was heavily a European organization, at a time when most of Asia and Africa was in the control of European powers. The independent nations of the Latin America were all members, but they rarely took leadership roles. Indeed, the Covenant had acknowledged the Monroe doctrine, to the effect that the nations of the Western hemisphere could handle their own affairs without recourse to the League of Nations. League of Nations Union In every member nation, organizations were formed to generate public support and publicity for the League of Nations. The most successful support organization worldwide was the League of Nations Union (LNU) in Great Britain. The LNU was formed by the merger of the League of Free Nations Association in the U.S. and the League of Nations Society in Britain. They were already working for the establishment of a new and transparent system of international relations, human rights, and for world peace through disarmament and universal collective security, rather than traditional approaches such as the balance of power and the creation of power blocs through secret treaties. The LNU promoted international justice, collective security and a permanent peace between nations based upon the ideals of the League of Nations. By the mid-1920s, it had over a quarter of a million subscribers. By contrast the comparable French organization was one-fourth the size. LNU's paid membership peaked in 1931 at 407,000 in 2,982 local branches, 295 junior clubs, and 3,058 local Protestant church chapters (heavily based in Nonconformist churches). After 1931 membership steadily declined. By the 1940s, after the disappointments of the international crises of the 1930s and the descent into World War II, membership fell to about 100,000. There was another problem. Pacifists were less and less willing to maintain membership as the LNU in the 1930s more and more proposed economic sanctions and suggested military sanctions against aggressive nations. Activities According to B. J. C. McKercher, LNU had considerable success in leading the mainstream of British society to its cause, including labour, the churches and the principal newspapers. LNU was most influential in the Liberal Party, although that party was rapidly losing MPs. It had great strength in the Labour Party, which was growing. It was weakest in the Conservative Party, which dominated politics in the 1930s. Most Conservatives were deeply suspicious of the LNU's support for pacifism and disarmament,. The three main leaders were Gilbert Murray (an Oxford professor), Lord Robert Cecil (who helped Woodrow Wilson design the League of Nations Covenant in 1919), and the general secretary, J. C. Maxwell Garnett. In terms of impact on the government, Birn argues that it helped push the government to admit Germany to the League in 1926, impose an arms embargo during the Far Eastern crisis of 1933, and to impose sanctions against Italy in 1935. These were exceptional, Birn argues, because these were rare instances wherte the LNU got its way in controversial issues. Peace Ballot The most famous operation of the LNU was its organisation of the Peace Ballot of 1935. It asked British adults to decide on questions relating to international disarmament and collective security. The Peace Ballot was a private operation not an official government-sponsored referendum.

55 xanthones; the work showed that many xanthone isomers had different retention times and that this technique could be used to identify complex mixtures of structurally similar derivatives. The technique was later refined to couple the HPLC output with a photodiode array detector to screen for xanthones based on their specific ultraviolet–visible spectra. In this way, lichexanthone can be detected by comparing its relative retention time, retention time, and checking for the presence of three peaks representing wavelengths of maximum absorption (λmax) at 208, 242, and 310 nm. Occurrence Although first isolated from foliose (leafy) Parmelia species, lichexanthone has since been found in a wide variety of lichens. For example, in the foliose genus Hypotrachyna, it is found in about a dozen species; when present, it usually completely replaces other cortical substances common in that genus, like atranorin and usnic acid. The presence or absence of lichexanthone is a character used in classifying species of the predominantly tropical genus Pyxine; of about 70 species in the genus, 20 contain lichexanthone. This represents the largest group of foliose lichens with the compound, as it is generally restricted to some groups of tropical crustose lichens, chiefly pyrenocarps and Graphidaceae. The large genus Pertusaria relies heavily on thallus chemistry to distinguish and classify species, some of which differ only in the presence or absence of a single secondary chemical. Lichexanthone, norlichexanthone, and their chlorinated derivatives are common in this genus. Although normally considered a secondary metabolite of lichens, lichexanthone has also been isolated from several plants, listed here organized by family: Annonaceae: Annona muricata, Guatteria blepharophylla, Rollinia leptopetala Clusiaceae: Garcinia forbesii Euphorbiaceae: Croton cuneatus Gentianaceae: Anthocleista djalonensis Hypericaceae: Vismia baccifera var. dealbata Meliaceae: Trichilia rubescens Melastomataceae: Henriettella fascicularis Olacaceae: Minquartia guianensis Polygonaceae: Ruprechtia tangarana Rutaceae: Clausena excavata, Feroniella lucida, Zanthoxylum microcarpum, Z. valens, Z. setulosum, Z. tetraspermum Sapindaceae: Cupania cinerea Lichexanthone has also been reported to occur in the bark of Faramea cyanea, although in that case it was suspected to have originated from a lichen growing on the bark. Additionally, two non-lichenised fungus species, Penicillium persicinum and Penicillium vulpinum, can synthesize lichexanthone. Xanthones are known to have strong UV-absorbing properties. In experiments using laboratory-grown mycobionts from the lichen Haematomma fluorescens, the synthesis of lichexanthone was induced when young mycelia was exposed to long wavelength UV light (365 nm) for three to four hours every week over a time span of three to four months. In the natural lichen, the compound is present in both the outer cortical layer of thallus and in the exciple (rim) of the ascomata. It has been suggested that lichexanthone may function as a light filter to protect the UV-sensitive algal layer in lichens from high intensity solar radiation. The presence of the photoprotective chemical in the cortex may allow them to survive in otherwise inhospitable habitats, like on exposed trees in tropical areas or high mountains. It has been pointed out, however, that lichexanthone is also found in lichens living in less stressed environments, and from species that are in families where cortical substances are rare. In some instances, similar or related species exist that lack cortical substances entirely, suggesting that the actual ecological function of lichexanthone is not fully understood. Related compounds Norlichexanthone (1,3,6-trihydroxy-8-methylxanthone) differs from lichexanthone in having hydroxy rather than methoxy groups at positions 3 and 6. In (1,6-dihydroxy-3-methoxy-8-methylxanthen-9-one), the methoxy at position 6 of lichexanthone is replaced with a hydroxy. Dozens of chlorinated lichexanthone derivatives have been reported, some isolated from a variety of lichen species, and some produced synthetically. These derivatives are variously mono-, bi-, or trichlorinated with the chlorines at positions 2, 4, 5, and 7. As of 2016, 62 molecules with the lichexanthone scaffold had been described, and another eight additional lichexanthone derivatives were considered "putative"–thought to exist in nature, but not yet discovered in lichens. The effects of chlorine substituents on some structural and electronic properties of lichexanthones have been studied with quantum mechanical theory, to better understand things such as intramolecular interactions, aromaticity of the three rings, interactions between ionic and halogen bonds, and binding energies of complexes formed between lichexanthone, magnesium ion (Mg+2) and NH3. A series of | functioned to helped confirm the structure of lichexanthone before spectral methods of analysis were widely available. In 1977, Harris and Hay proposed a biogenetically modelled synthesis of lichexanthone starting from the polycarbonyl compound 3,5,7,9,11,13-hexaoxotetradecanoic acid. In this synthesis, an aldol cyclization between positions 8 and 13 followed by a Claisen cyclization between positions 1 and 6 leads to the formation of a group of compounds that includes lichexanthone. Properties Lichexanthone is a member of the class of chemical compounds called xanthones. Specifically, it is a 9H-xanthen-9-one substituted by a hydroxy group at position 1, a methyl group at position 8 and methoxy groups at positions 3 and 6. Its chemical formula is 1-hydroxy-3,6-dimethoxy-8-methylxanthen-9-one. Lichexanthone has a molecular formula of C16H14O5, and a molecular mass of 286.27 grams per mole. In its purified crystalline form, it exists as long yellow prisms with a melting point of . An ethanolic solution of lichexanthone reacts with iron(III) chloride to produce a purple colour; an acetic acid solution containing lichexanthone will emit a greenish fluorescence after adding a drop of concentrated sulfuric acid. The presence of the compound in lichens causes them to fluoresce yellow under long wavelength UV light, a property that is used as a tool in lichen species identification. The mass spectra of lichexanthone was reported in 1968. A 2009 study on the electrochemical reduction of the compound used techniques such as cyclic voltammetry with rotating disc and rotating ring electrodes, and controlled-potential electrolysis to characterise the reduction mechanism of lichexanthone, and to better understand the nature of its chemical reactivity. The complete proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) and carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (13C NMR) spectral assignments for lichexanthone were reported in 2010, as well as its crystal structure using X-ray diffraction. Its structure is part of the monoclinic crystal system, in the space group called P21/c. Biological activities Various biological activities of lichexanthone, studied using in vitro experiments, have been recorded in the scientific literature. The antimicrobial activity of the bark-dwelling lichen Marcelaria benguelensis is largely attributed to the presence of lichexanthone. Chemically unmodified lichexanthone has weak antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. aurum. However, a dihydropyrane derivative of lichexanthone had antimycobacterial activity that was comparable to that of drugs commonly used to treat tuberculosis. Lichexanthone has a strong antibacterial effect towards Bacillus subtilis, and also inhibits the growth of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. In contrast, no antiparasitic activity was detected against either Plasmodium falciparum or Trypanosoma brucei. Nor did it have any cytotoxic activity against a variety of cancer cell lines. In laboratory tests, the presence of lichexanthone enhances the motility of human sperm. This bioactivity is relevant to the field of medicinal chemistry, as there are only a few compounds known to have this effect. The chemical also has larvicidal activity against second-instar larvae of the mosquito Aedes aegypti, a vector of the Dengue virus. Biosynthesis In lichens, biosynthesis of lichexanthone occurs through the acetate-malonate metabolic pathway, which uses acetyl coenzyme A as a precursor. In |

exclude a select group. As put by Justice Powell, who wrote for the majority, it was not, “the judicial role in cases of this sort to probe and test the justifications for the legislative decision.” Background Ramon Fiallo was a United States born citizen, but resident of the Dominican Republic, whose mother petitioned, on his behalf, for his Dominican father to be legally declared his parent. The United States Consul in the Dominican Republic rejected Fiallo’s petition, citing his illegitimacy--his parents were not married nor would be in the future. Fiallo, along with appellant Cleophus Warner--a US citizen with an illegitimate child in the French West Indies--and apellants Trevor and Earl Wilson--permanent residents petitioning for their Jamaican father--sued Attorney General Edward H. Levi in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The District Court dismissed the suit, alluding to the plenary power of Congress over matters of admission and exclusion of non-residents. In 1976, the Supreme Court noted probable jurisdiction and accepted the appeal. Argument The appellants, represented by Harold R. Tyler Jr., put forth three key arguments against the identified Sections of the 1952 Act: The statutory exclusion predicated on a father’s marital status, his child’s illegitimacy, and the sex of the parent violated the appellants’ right to equal protection of the law. The inherent statutory assumption that there is a lack of familial tie (emotional, economic, or otherwise) between fathers and their illegitimate children violates the appellants’ right to due process of the law. The effect of the statute impairs the appellants’ right to “mutual association, to privacy, to establish a home, to raise natural children, and to be raised by natural fathers.” Decision From the outset of the decision, the Court emphasized the “limited scope of judicial inquiry into immigration legislation”, citing previous cases that have recognized Congressional power to expel or exclude aliens as “a fundamental sovereign attribute” (e.g., Harisiades v. Shaughnessy, Fong Yue Ting v. United States). In asserting a violation of equal protection, the appellants referenced previous border search cases (Almeida-Sanchez v. United States and United States v. Brignoni-Ponce) for the holding that the judiciary is required “to protect the rights of citizens against immigration legislation.” The Court, however, refused to apply that principle to Congress’ authority to regulate alien entrance. The Court was similarly unconvinced with the appellants’ attempt to apply stricter judicial scrutiny by claiming the discrimination within the statute (i.e., based on sex and illegitimacy) infringes on rights of citizens to familial relationships and denies due process. The Court cited its prior holding in the First Amendment case Kleindienst v. Mandel, in which the Court refused to exercise stricter scrutiny to ensure the executive branch had acted within its bounds to deny immigration. To Fiallo, therefore, the Court applied the same judicial standard it had when a first amendment right was in question. Finally, given that the 1952 Act was amended in 1957 specifically to add illegitimate children | citing Congress' “exceptionally broad power” to admit or exclude non-citizens and acknowledging the intentional political choice of Congress to exclude a select group.

A passing detective who had noticed the commotion then handcuffed him. The money was found nearby, and the gun was located in the field. Trial Smith was charged with murdering Rohus and was held without bond. During the juror selection portion of his trial, Smith attempted to escape and ran from the courthouse. He was captured a few blocks away by a HPD officer. On April 5, 1984, Smith was found guilty of capital murder and was sentenced to death by a Harris County jury. In November 1987, his death sentence was upheld by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. Smith then waived his appeals in an attempt to speed up his execution. Execution Smith was originally scheduled for execution on May 11, 1988. He was quoted as saying, "Life is a temporary situation. The spirit moves on. Death is like eating a prune in the morning. It's a natural function." The day before his scheduled execution, Smith requested a last meal of rhaeakunda dirt. The request was denied by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice because dirt was not included on the list of approved foods. They instead said he would be given something off the regular prison menu. According to Texas A&M University soil experts, the dirt was believed to be eaten in voodoo rituals, which Smith practiced and believed in. Smith had hoped to perform a voodoo ritual that he believed would assist his reincarnation. On the morning of his scheduled execution, Smith won a reprieve after his mother's attorneys asked the Supreme Court of the United States to spare his life. The appeal filed argued that Smith was mentally incompetent. The court agreed to hear the appeal and granted the stay of execution. Two years later, Smith was again scheduled for execution. He refused his appeals again and argued that remaining in prison was cruel and unusual punishment because he would rather die and be reincarnated. His mother appealed again and claimed he was mentally incompetent; however, the Supreme Court denied the appeal. On June 26, 1990, Smith | over all the money. When she refused and hid behind a filing cabinet, Smith turned his attention to 44-year-old Larry Don Rohus, the company's district manager who had been standing with her. Rohus complied with Smith's demands and retrieved money from the cash drawer, which he then handed over to Smith in a plastic bag. As Rohus walked away, Smith ordered him to return to the window. While the two engaged in conversation, Rohus pleaded with Smith not to shoot him and began taking off a bracelet on his wrist. Smith then fired two shots, with the second hitting Rohus in the upper left side of the chest. Rohus was rushed to the hospital, where he died several hours later. Smith fled the building on foot and was chased down by two office workers. They ran through a field and then into an apartment complex where Smith opened fire on his pursuers. As he left the complex, he tripped over in the street and was subdued by several people chasing him. A passing detective who had noticed the commotion then handcuffed him.
