Q11963072 Candida Xu (September 4, 1607-July 24, 1680) was a Chinese Catholic. She has been called "arguably the most influential Chinese Christian woman of the seventeenth century."Born on the feast day of Saint Candida the Elder, in whose honor she was named, Xu was the granddaughter of Xu Guangqi, who had converted to Christianity four years previously. From childhood she was deeply religious. Widowed at 46, she turned her attention to service to the church. Despite the restrictions she faced given her status as a member of the upper class, she worked to spread the word of Christianity. She exercised the influence of her father and son to gain good will for many Jesuit missionaries among local officials. Among Chinese Christians she promoted her spiritual associations; she also acted as a leader for Christian women around Shanghai. She had a private income, from which she donated generously to finance living arrangements for missionaries; she also funded the building of close to forty churches and chapels, and facilitated publication of many religious works in the Chinese language. She was referred to as the Apostle of China by many. Her story gained currency in Europe through a biography by Philippe Couplet, her confessor.

Q2649665 Kokkino Chorio (or "Red Village") is a village situated in the Chania regional unit of Crete, Greece. It was the filming location of the 1964 film Zorba the Greek starring Anthony Quinn, Alan Bates, Irene Papas and many locals. The village also plays host to a tunnel complex which was used in World War II by the Nazis as an artillery spotting position. The area has been bought by a local property developer who has subsequently built a large number of houses on the site, obliterating in the process an old gun emplacement. In 2006 a memorial to those killed during world war two was constructed at the entrance to the tunnels. Access is possible, but it is unlit. Kokkino Chorio has three churches: St. George's which is located at the entrance of the cave and used on St. George's Day (April 23); St Katherines in the village which is used on November 25. The main church, used weekly and at other times during Lent/Easter and Advent/Christmas is St. Haralambos and is located in the village square. Kokkino Chorio is located near Plaka, Almiryda, Gavlahori, Kalyves and Kambia. Recently a Mini Market has opened in Kokkino Chorio (run by Giorgos) selling a range of goods, from food to household appliances. There is also a Glass blowing factory in the village with an embryo taverna attached. Above Kokkino Horio one can see the strangely shaped hill Drapanokefala or Calapodha (so named during the Venetian occupation). The coastline northwest of the village is an extremely interesting place for a stroll due to the ground formation and the caves, such as the cave of Petsi (or Karavotopos). Another cave called Katalimata, located at the centre of the village, is also an interesting site.

Q6057063 The Interstate Land Sales Full Disclosure Act of 1968 (ILSFDA or ILSA or "Act") was an act of Congress passed in 1968 to facilitate regulation of interstate land sales, to protect consumers from fraud and abuse in the sale or lease of land. The Act was patterned after the Securities Act of 1933 and required land developers to register subdivisions of (currently 100 or more) non-exempt lots or condominium units. Originally, the filings were to be with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. Currently, the responsibility for administering the Act and its regulations is with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). A regulated developer is to provide each purchaser with a disclosure document called a Property Report. The Property Report contains relevant information about the subdivision and must be delivered to each purchaser before the signing of the contract or agreement and gives the purchaser at a minimum a 7-day period to cancel the purchase agreement.In 2014, the Act was amended to additionally apply to condominiums.When the financial crisis of 2008 severely limited the ability for purchasers of newly constructed units to purchase homes they could no longer afford, these contract vendees found attorneys wielding this statute as a weapon to rescind contract for buildings with more than 100 units. Builders argued that the statute was not meant for sophisticated wealthy buyers and the purchaser's attorneys apologetically, used it to successfully get clients out of contracts and to obtain a refund of the down payment. In other cases using the statute the attorneys for the purchasers received large discounts off the purchase price.On September 19, 2014, a bill unanimously passed the House of Representatives and United States Senate repealing the law for condominiums. On October 6, 2014, President Barack Obama signed the bill into law.

Q18166006 Mount Charles (67°23′S 50°0′E) is a mountain, 1,110 m, standing 3 nautical miles (6 km) south of Mount Cronus in Enderby Land. Plotted from air photos taken by ANARE (Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions) in 1956 and 1957. The chart drawn by John Biscoe (1830–31) shows four mountains in what is now named Scott Mountains; these four mountains were named Charles, Henry, Gordon and George, probably for the Enderby Brothers, owners of Biscoe's vessels. It has not been possible to identify the mountain so named by Biscoe, but in order to perpetuate the name Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) applied it to this feature in 1962. This article incorporates public domain material from the United States Geological Survey document "Mount Charles (Antarctica)" (content from the Geographic Names Information System).

Q12779942 Picornain 3C (EC 3.4.22.28, Picornain 3C is a protease and endopeptidase enzyme found in the picornavirus, that cleaves peptide bonds of non- terminal sequences. Picornain 3C’s proteinase activity is primarily responsible for the catalytic process of selectively cleaving Gln-Gly bonds in the polyprotein of poliovirus and substitution of Glu for Gln, and Ser or Thr for Gly in other picornaviruses. Picornain 3C are cysteine proteases related by amino acid sequence to trypsin-like serine proteases. Picornain 3C is encoded by enteroviruses, rhinoviruses, aphtoviruses and cardioviruses. These genera all cause a wide range of infections for humans and other mammals.Picornavirus belongs to the family Picornaviridae. Picornavirus virions are nonenveloped and the +ssRNA nonsegmented genome is encapsulated in an icosahedral protein structure made from four capsid proteins encoded by the virus. Picornavirus viral replication typically takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell. Picornavirus +ssRNA genome then gets translated via internal ribosome entry sites (IRES) that is recognized by host cell ribosomes for cap independent translation. To compete with other mRNA transcripts, picornavirus destroys cap dependent translation in the host so host cell ribosomes will favor translation of viral transcripts. +ssRNA makes –ssRNA intermediates to make more viral +ssRNA. The genome of picornavirus is exhibited in Figure 1. As displayed, picornavirus does not have a viral 5’ cap but instead encodes for a protein Vpg. The absence of the 5’ cap is why the picornavirus genome depends on cap dependent translation for replication. The genome, however, does contain a poly-A tail on the opposite end of the Vpg protein. Both ends of the genome has UTR (untranslated regions). The picornavirus genome has three proteins (P1, P2, P3). P1 encodes for a proteins (VP1, VP2, VP3, and VP4) that make the capsid proteins. P2 and P3 proteins assist in infectivity of the picornavirus to hijack and interfere with host cell functionality. Specifically, 2B, 2C, and 3A proteins interfere with host cell function and the 3D protein encodes as the RNA polymerase. 2A and 3C act as proteinases and their function varies among the different genera of picornavirus.Poliovirus is a member of the family Picornaviridae. Poliovirus is transmitted through the oral-fecal route and does not always cause symptoms. A small amount of poliovirus infections cause paralysis when the virus infects the nervous system. Poliovirus infects host cells through inhibition of transcription machinery and function. Polioviruses’ protease 3C is responsible for host cell transcription shut off by cleaving the TATA-binding protein and other transcription factors at glutamine-glycine sites This inhibition of transcription is caused by Protease 3C, one of Polioviruses’ 4 viral proteins encoded in its genome. Poliovirus 3C protease replication occurs in the cytoplasm, yet is able to inhibit transcription in the nucleus without any nuclear localization. Therefore, protease 3C depends on poliovirus 3CD protein for the translocation of 3C protease to carry out transcription inhibition in the nucleus. The 3CD polyprotein of poliovirus consists of the precursor of both the 3C protease (3Cpro) and the 3D RNA polymerase. 3CD undergoes proteolysis, which leads to localization in the nucleus. “The 3C protein, being of unknown function, is a product of 3CD cleavage by 2Apro”. Poliovirus is also involved in the cleavage of eIF4E (Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E). eIF4E is a protein involved in directing Eurkaryotic ribosomes in cap dependent translation. The proteolytic cleavage of eIF4E disables the host from carrying out cap dependent translation.Coxsackievirus belongs to the Picornaviridae family and Enterovirus genus. Coxsackievirus is shed through stool and bodily fluids and is prevalent in children but can infection occur in adults. Symptoms for coxsackievirus are fever, malaise, rash and blisters. Coxsackievirus primarily infects mucosal and epithelial membranes. 3C proteinase activity in coxsackievirus causes apoptosis in host cells. Both 2A(pro) and 3C(pro) induce caspase-8-mediated by activation of caspase-3. Caspase stands for cysteine-aspartic acid protease and play an essential role in the apoptotic pathway of the cell. Protease 2A and 3C also induce apoptosis via intrinsic mitochondria mediated apoptosis, which leads to the release of cytochrome C from mitochondria and activating caspase- 9 (Chau). 3C is responsible for the actions via the up-regulation of Bax and cleavage of Bid. Protease 3C and 2A are also responsible for the cleavage of translation initiation eIF4GE and poly-A- binding protein, PABP. This disruption of this binding domain results in down regulation of the initiation of cap dependent translation. Also, 3C and 2A are responsible for down-regulation of cyclic AMP responsive element binding protein (CREB), a cellular transcription factor. CREB decreases or increases transcription of certain genes and therefore, the inhibition of CREB causes the host cell’s to lose ability of this ability to regulate transcription.Rhinovirus is principal cause for the common cold. Rhinovirus, also member of picornavirus, and can be transmitted through respiratory droplets or indirectly. Rhinovirus infects the upper respiratory tract to cause common cold symptoms. Rhinovirus uses protease 3C and 3D to induce cytopathetic effects in the host cell. 3C and 3D act similarly in rhinovirus as they do in poliovirus because they are both involved in early viral infection of the host cell via host cell transcription inhibition by 3C proteolytic activity. 3C and 3CD of Rhinoviruses specifically target OCT-1 transcription factor for proteolytic cleavage. This proteolytic cleavage of the OCT-1 causes the inhibition of further cellular transcription. Similar to poliovirus and coxsackievirus, Rhinovirus protease 3C is also responsible for cleaving eIF4E (Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E), which disables cap dependent translation in the host cell.Foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) is a part of the aphthovirus genera. Foot and mouth disease virus primarily is found in cloven-hoofed animals such as pigs and cows and causes severe fever for the first couple of days and then blisters in the foot and mouth of the animal. FMDV does not cross over or infect humans but is extremely infectious within cloven-hoofed animals. Foot and mouth disease 3C protease activity is responsible for the fragmentation of golgi apparatus and inhibition of microtubule regrowth. 3C protease activity is responsible for the loss of tethering of microtubules to the microtubule organizing center (MTOC) region. Both of proteolytic effects on the host cell inhibit the transport of cellular proteins to the plasma membrane. This destruction of the secretory pathway reduces expression of major histocompatibility antigens at plasma membrane therefore slowing secretion of proinflammatory cytokines.Hepatitis A 3C proteinase is a member of the cysteine proteases that are responsible for the infectivity and maturation of HAV. Hepatitis A 3C protease cleaves NEMO at the Q304 residue; NEMO is a NF-κB essential modulator responsible for activation of interferon (IFN) antiviral response. Cys24Ser (C24S) is a homolog of Hepatitis 3C proteinase, is responsible for inactivating Cys172 through alkylation of the sulfur at its active site. The sulfur alkylation of Cys172 causes inactivity while the N-alkylation of His102 causes a significant rise in enzymatic activity. Modification of enzymatic activity can be controlled by solution or crystallized N-iodoacetyl-valine-phenylalanine-amide (IVF). Therefore, IVF controls proteolytic inhibition through interactions with active site of enzyme.
Q15176486 Denbigh Cockpit is a reconstructed building at St Fagans National Museum of History in Cardiff, the capital of Wales. The cockpit formerly stood in the yard of the Hawk and Buckle Inn at Vale Street, Denbigh, and is thought to date from the late seventeenth century. It is a Grade II listed building.Cockfighting became illegal in Britain in 1849, and the cockpit was used for other purposes over the years, such as a garage. In 1911 it was visited by members of the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments and Constructions in Wales and Monmouthshire, and was found to be "preserved with much care". It was in a poor state of repair by 1965, when a decision was made to move it to St Fagans. The cockpit was opened to the public at St Fagans in 1970.

Q6505991 Lazhar Ben Mohamed Tlil is a citizen of Tunis, and longtime resident of Italy.After traveling to Italy Tlil committed petty crimes to support a drug habit.During a period when he was trying to quit his addiction to drugs Tlil traveled to Afghanistan, and received some military training at an Afghan training camp. Upon his return to Italy Tlil returned to crime, and was caught, convicted and sentenced, for petty drug dealing. After al Qaeda's attacks on the Continental United States, on September 11, 2001, his attendance at the Afghan training camp became of acute interest to American security officials. When Italian prison officials allowed American security officials to interrogate him Tlil was able to identify several other Tunisians who were being held in Guantanamo.Tlil initially agreed to testify against individuals in Guantanamo, either in Italy, or in the United States.Tlil was released in return for his agreement to testify, and was placed in the Italian version of a witness protection program. When Adel Ben Mabrouk and Mohamed Ben Riadh Nasri, two Tunisians who also had a record of committing petty crimes in Italy, who had been captured in Afghanistan, and had spent seven years in extrajudicial detention in Guantanamo, were transferred to Italy, Italian prosecutor Elio Ramondini said it would be "impossible" to convict them without Tlil's testimony.According to reports from the Associated Press, from November and December 2009, while Lazhar had been willing to serve as a witness against the men, he had recently indicated that he might no longer cooperate, because he is unhappy with how Italy's witness protection program is administered.The Associated Press reported he was also being considered as a possible witness against some of the senior al Qaeda captives who were then expected to face trial in the USA.In 2012 Tlil was profiled in the news again, as a vocal critic of Italy's witness protection program.
