Q7952066 WJXM (95.1 FM, "95.1 The Beat") is an urban contemporary music formatted radio station broadcasting in the Meridian, Mississippi, Arbitron market. In one form or another, WKZB had been the heritage top 40 station of the market for over 20 years. Currently the station broadcasts on 95.1 but originally broadcast on 101.3 (then branded as Q101). WKZB's original city of license was Meridian, Mississippi but with the move to 95.1 it became Marion, Mississippi. URBan Radio Broadcasting purchased the radio station from Clear Channel in 2007 and was sold to New South Communications in September 2011.Following a ratings slump, in 2008, WJDQ changed formats from Top 40 to a new "mix" format which blended both the Hot AC and Adult album alternative formats. Today, the station is closer to a Modern AC format than its original Top 40 format. WJDQ also slightly altered its moniker, becoming "95Q" rather than its previous incarnation as "Q951" and debuted a new logo to go along with the new format.On September 9, 2011 WJDQ changed their format to classic hits, branded as "95.1 The Buzz". On September 26, 2011 WJDQ changed their call letters to WKZB.On October 28, 2016, WKZB changed their format from classic hits (which moved to WUCL 97.9 FM Newton, MS) to urban, branded as "95.1 The Beat"; the format moved from WJXM 105.7 FM DeKalb as part of a three-station format shuffle. WKZB's classic hits format moved to WUCL 97.9 FM Newton, MS. The format changes coincided with a two-part sale of the station, where New South Communications sold WKZB and three other stations to Burke Broadcasting, LLC, who then flipped two stations (including WKZB) to Mississippi Broadcasters. On November 16, 2016, WKZB changed their call letters to WJXM.

Q16854025 Kiprijan Račanin (Serbian Cyrillic: Кипријан Рачанин, Cyprian of Rača; c. 1650–1730) was a Serbian writer and monk who founded a copyist school (Scriptorium) in Szentendre, just like the one he left behind in Serbia -- School of Rača -- at the commencement of the Great Turkish War in 1689.It was, incidentally, in the small wooden church, dedicated to the Evangelist Luke, that the Szentenedre Scriptorium and printing office came into being; among the monk-scribes Kiprijan Račanin, Gavrilo Trojičanin, Jerotej Račanin, Čirjak Račanin, Hristifor Račanin, Teodor Račanin, and Gavril Stefanović Venclović, Kiprijan's student, were especially well-known.Very little is known about him. He was very humble and would not reveal his true identity—Kiprijan is an adopted ecclesiastical name that he assumed when he entered the monastic cloister. When he writes he is self-effacing and even demeaning to himself: "great sinner"; "useless"; "narrow-minded"; and "mad". He even hides his origin and place of birth: "otečestvo mi zemlja, mati že grob", my paternity's my land; mother's my grave.It is known, however, that he took orders at the Rača monastery and became a monk-scribe. During the Great Turkish War of 1689-1699 he left central Serbia for Serbian territories up north, bordering Hungary. In Zenta he remained for a while, joining the Christian fray against the Turks in the Battle of Zenta. With Arsenije III Čarnojević he came to settle in Szentendre, where he began to make a name for himself as the dean of a scriptorium, a diligent copyist of manuscripts and books, and writer of one of the early Serbian primers called Bukvar in 1717, an adaptation of a Primer by Russian writer Fedor Polikarpov-Orlov (1660-1731).
Q217838 The Stirling council area (Scots: Stirlin; Scottish Gaelic: Sruighlea) is one of the 32 council areas of Scotland, and has a population of about 94,000 (2017 estimate). It was created under the Local Government etc (Scotland) Act 1994 with the boundaries of the Stirling district of the former Central local government region, and it covers most of Stirlingshire (except Falkirk) and the south-western portion of Perthshire. Both counties were abolished for local government purposes under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973.The administrative centre of the area is the city of Stirling.The area borders the council areas of Clackmannanshire (to the east), North Lanarkshire (to the south), Falkirk (to the south east), Perth and Kinross (to the north and north east), Argyll and Bute (to the north and north west), and both East and West Dunbartonshire to Stirling's southwest.The majority of the population of the area is located in its southeast corner, in the city of Stirling and in the surrounding lowland communities: Bridge of Allan and Dunblane to the north, Bannockburn to the immediate south, and the three former coal mining communities of Cowie, Fallin, and Plean, known collectively as the "Eastern Villages".The remaining 30 percent of the region's population is sparsely distributed across the rural, mainly highland, expanse in the north of the region. The southern half of this rural area comprises the flat western floodplain of the River Forth, bounded on the south by the Touch Hills and the Campsie Fells. North of the glen lie the Trossachs mountains, and the northern half of the region is generally mountainous in character.

Q1356611 Scott Edward Kazmir (; born January 24, 1984) is an American professional baseball pitcher who is a free agent. He has played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays/Rays, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Cleveland Indians, Oakland Athletics, Houston Astros, and Los Angeles Dodgers.Kazmir was drafted in the first round (15th overall) of the 2002 Major League Baseball draft by the New York Mets and quickly moved through the organization's minor league system. Kazmir was one of the top pitching prospects in baseball when he was sent to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays at the 2004 trade deadline in a highly publicized and criticized deal. Kazmir made his major league debut with the Devil Rays on August 23, 2004, when he was only 20 years old.During his first four seasons with the club, winning at least 10 games in his every full season with the team. Kazmir was named to his first All Star team in 2006, led the American League with 239 strikeouts and 34 games started in 2007, and is still among Tampa Bay's all-time leaders in many pitching categories, including strikeouts, earned run average (ERA), wins, and games started.The Devil Rays became the Rays in 2008 and got off to the best start in franchise history. Kazmir named American League Pitcher of the Month in May and appeared in his second All-Star game in July. However, a series of nagging injuries led to inconsistency in his pitching motion and gradually reduced his effectiveness over the second half of the season and in the playoffs, even as the Rays made it to their first World Series.Kazmir continued to struggle with injuries and ineffectiveness early in the 2009 season and spent some time on the disabled list. He had several better starts in July and August, at which point the Rays traded him to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim for several minor league prospects. The Angels released him in June 2011.Kazmir spent over a year trying to recover his pitching touch, working with personal coaches and trainers and pitching for short stints with independent minor league and winter league teams. In December 2012, he signed a minor league deal with the Cleveland Indians and received an invitation to spring training. Solid performances in spring training earned him a spot in the Indians' starting rotation for 2013, and he pitched well enough to come in third in the voting for American League Comeback Player of the Year. In December 2013, Kazmir signed a two-year contract with the Oakland Athletics and continued his resurgence by winning a career-high 15 games during the 2014 season and making his third All-Star appearance. Kazmir continued to pitch well for the A's in the first half of 2015, and with his contract expiring at the end of the season, he was traded to his hometown Houston Astros in July. In 2016, he signed a three-year, $48 million free agent contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers. A series of injuries kept him from pitching at all in the major leagues in 2017.Kazmir was traded to the Atlanta Braves after the 2017 season. However, ineffectiveness and lingering arm issues in spring training led the Braves to release Kazmir before the regular season.

Q7255134 Pseudomonas viridiflava is a fluorescent, Gram-negative, soil bacterium that is pathogenic to plants. It was originally isolated from the dwarf or runner bean, in Switzerland. Based on 16S rRNA analysis, P. viridiflava has been placed in the P. syringae group. Following ribotypical analysis misidentified strains of Pseudomonas syringae pv. ribicola (which infects Ribes aureum) and Pseudomonas syringae pv. primulae (which infects Primula species) were incorporated into this species.Disease: This pathogen causes Bacterial Blight of KiwifruitHost and Symptoms:Kiwis are grown in countries such as Italy, New Zealand, China, and Chile making this bacterium a problem in kiwi-growing regions across the world. Kiwis have a long growing season from the beginning of spring to the fall which indicates that kiwis grow in warmer temperatures, but colder temperatures are important for the leaves to fall of the vine and for new buds to form in the spring. The pathogen, Pseudomonas viridiflava, was first discovered in kiwifruit in New Zealand in 1973. It has been discovered on 31 other plant species such as tomato, melon, eggplant, and blite. Symptoms on each host differ slightly, but in general, this bacterium causes a soft rot in the stem or flowering structures, not in woody tissues, which results in these structures turning brown and dying.To continue, the symptoms of this bacterial blight include spots and lesions on leaves, and rot of floral buds and flowers. The floral symptoms undergo changes throughout the seasons that ultimately end in the floral bud dying and falling off. These symptoms are found initially as brown and sunken spots on the green sepals of the vine that enclose the flower buds. The result is the flower buds begin to rot when unopened. If the buds do open and yield a yellow-orange color, rather than white, the flower turns brown rather quickly and dies. In addition, the anthers or male sexual parts of the flower can be destroyed in this disease causing an incomplete retraction of sepals. Regarding the leaves, symptoms are visible in later spring and are found on the lower leaves first. The lesions created are angular and gray on the lower leaves, and the lesions are surrounded with a yellow halo on the upper leaves. These lesions turn brown and can be a site for a secondary infection by a fungus or some other pathogen. All of this leads to abnormal fruit development on diseased plants which can create an economic problem for the grower. Fruit development is the largest economical concern when referring to this pathogen. Yield loss can become very high, reaching over 90% in orchards that have symptoms of this pathogen. When no symptoms are present, however, the plant is healthy and fruit development is normal. It is stated that it is very rare to find normal fruit development on plants with symptoms of bacterial blight showing how detrimental this disease and pathogen is.Furthermore, host factors have had an influence on this disease. Pseudomonas viridiflava can survive on the surface of the plant as an epiphyte, meaning it is present on leaves without disease occurring. This allows the pathogen to associate itself with the healthy kiwifruit vine by maintaining a non-pathological relationship with the host. This pathogen also utilizes its large host range to survive on other hosts when not infecting a kiwifruit vine. Lastly, the host does not do anything specifically to help this disease spread, but does not have the proper defense mechanisms to prevent the bacterium from surviving on the plant or stopping this disease from spreading throughout.Environment:The environment plays a significant role in the severity of bacterial blight according to kiwifruit based studies in New Zealand and in Italy by many different scientists and plant pathologists. First, pseudomonas viridiflava infects the kiwifruit vine buds before flowering during the spring, when warmer weather comes around. The warmer weather has been indicated in one study of disease incidence being at its highest point between 10-12 °C. This temperature promotes flowering and is the ideal time for bacteria to attack the plant. It has been found that the wetter, humid weather has been helpful in the development of the disease and is a favorable environment for this bacterium. Moisture and rainfall prior to flowering has been deemed a very important environmental condition for this pathogen and results in the greatest disease incidence. Years where it has been dry and lack of rain prior to the flowering period have led to less disease and lower concentration of bacteria on kiwifruit vines. In one study, conducted in New Zealand, the disease was more prevalent in a gully, especially on the outside groups of vines, where the area stayed wet for longer periods of time because they were more exposed to wet conditions and dew.The prevalence of the bacterium has been higher in fall and spring months with warmer and wetter weather rather than during the colder winters and hotter summers. There is a decline of disease after the flowering period has begun due to the lack of nutrients on the flower itself and that the buds fall off and die. Regarding the winter months, the bacterium has been isolated in a pure culture in a lab and tested in temperature extremes to see how it overwinters and survives. It has been shown that activity and survival can occur on the surface of twigs as this bacterium survives as an epiphyte on temperatures as low as -3 °C. This allows the bacterium to survive and multiple rapidly when warmer, more humid conditions present itself in the spring.Management:One way to help manage this disease is to prevent injuries onto the kiwifruit vine that would allow the bacteria in the plant. This can be done by staking up the plants higher and keeping the vine and leaves away from the ground. One study showed that the lower the leaves are to the ground; the more likely infection will occur and that kiwifruit vines should be staked higher like pergola-grown- vines versus T-bar grown vines. Furthermore, growers can clean up plant debris to help remove the bacterium by removing any infected plants. It is important to also make sure not to overwater and leave a moist environment as this is favorable for the pathogen. In accordance with a number studies, it has been shown that rainfall and moist conditions over a lengthened time period, 10 days in one study, before flowering can lead to a more severe incidence of disease.Sprays and different forms of fungicides can also be a great way to manage this disease. One example that has been considered is that copper sprays have been shown to work on kiwifruit vines. Studies have shown that copper sulfate and copper oxychloride work well in similar concentrations. However, copper sulfate has worked better in lower concentrations, or less sprays, than a commonly used alternative copper spray known as copper hydrochloride. This spray effectively lowered the population of the bacterial colonies on the surface of the kiwifruit vine, ultimately limiting the number of bacteria that could infect. These sprays should be done before flowering occurs in early spring to limit attacks on flower buds based on data showing when disease incidence first occurs. Besides copper sprays, one study looked at vegetable substances known as gallic and ellagic acids that were sprayed onto kiwifruit plants in a natural and artificial setting. In both settings, the sprays reduced the population of bacteria on the plant and the damage the disease caused. These two sprays did not harm the plant or growth in any way and may be a great alternative to copper sprays in the future. Lastly, resistance is important to helping plants survive and provide an economic benefit to the grower. Unfortunately, there has been no report of any resistant kiwifruit plant to this bacterium, nor have there been any reports of other hosts being resistant as well.

Q5239021 David Rhys-Jones (born 16 June 1962) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the Carlton Football Club and the Sydney Swans in the VFL/AFL. The highlight of his 182-game career was winning the Norm Smith Medal as best on ground in Carlton's 1987 Grand Final victory.Rhys-Jones began his career with South Melbourne in 1980, which relocated north becoming the Sydney Swans in 1982. He moved back south to join Carlton in 1985 after a pay dispute. He remained with Carlton until his retirement in 1992. Rhys-Jones was a superbly balanced footballer, capable of playing in multiple positions and equally adept as a goalkicking option as he was at shutting down opponents. His nullifying of Dermott Brereton in the 1987 Grand Final earned Rhys-Jones the Norm Smith Medal. He was awarded nine Brownlow Medal votes that year.But his career was not without controversy; he stood out with his blond locks and aggressive nature and, at the time of his retirement, held the record for the most tribunal appearances with 42.

After three years of successive finals appearances, including two grand finals, Rhys-Jones quit Frankston to concentrate on media commitments.In 2000 he was appointed coach of Heidelberg Football Club. After a run of injuries in 2001 he decided to pull on the boots himself and was quickly suspended by the Diamond Valley league from playing football until 2003 and fined $3000 after assaulting an opponent. The tribunal ruling that he was not allowed on the field forced Rhys-Jones to give his quarter-time team addresses from behind the boundary line. The following year he announced in his biography that he used cocaine during his playing career.Rhys-Jones married his second wife Cheri Donnelly in Queensland in 2001. They have a son together, Cooper, who has Prader-Willi Syndrome, and a daughter Madison. Rhys-Jones and wife Cheri took over the Canada Hotel in [Melbourne Swanston st], Carlton in 2002 renaming it the Plough and Harrow Hotel. That year Rhys-Jones joined a reality show on Channel 7, called The Club; and was chosen by audience votes to coach a new Australian rules football team in the Western Region Football League. The team was named the Kensington Hill Hammerheads, which Rhys-Jones coached to a premiership in its first (and only) year. Rhys-Jones has three children from his first marriage, Sharna, Molly, and Dakota. Rhys-Jones currently lives in Melbourne.

Q20982613 The military ranks of the Soviet Union were those introduced after the October Revolution of 1917. At that time the Imperial Russian Table of Ranks was abolished, as were the privileges of the pre-Soviet Russian nobility.Immediately after the Revolution, personal military ranks were abandoned in favour of a system of positional ranks, which were acronyms of the full position names.

These acronyms have survived as informal position names to the present day.Personal ranks were reintroduced in 1935, and general officer ranks were restored in May 1940. The ranks were based on those of the Russian Empire, although they underwent some modifications. Modified Imperial-style rank insignia were reintroduced in 1943.The Soviet ranks ceased to be used after the 1991 dissolution of the Soviet Union, although the military ranks and insignia of the modern Russian Federation and Ukraine have been largely adopted from the Soviet system.
