# ProV RNA motif

The proV RNA motif is a conserved RNA structure that was discovered by bioinformatics. proV motif RNAs are found in Pseudomonas.
proV RNAs are located upstream of genes that encode transporters. The substrate of these transporters is unknown, but computationally predicted as either proline or glycine betaine. This placement of proV RNAs is consistent with a function as a cis-regulatory elements. However, it is also possible that they operate in trans as small RNAs.

The five areas he identifies are:

* The Frustration/Reward Layer: feeling powerless about how to get real satisfaction in life.
* The Safety Layer: feeling powerless to insure personal safety.

# Sigma Pegasi

σ Pegasi, Latinised as Sigma Pegasi, is a binary star system in the northern constellation of Pegasus. With a combined apparent visual magnitude of 5.16, it is faintly visible to the naked eye. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 36.66 mas as seen from Earth, the system is located 89 light years distant from the Sun. It has a relatively high proper motion, advancing across the celestial sphere at the rate of 0.524 arcseconds per year.
The primary, component A, is a yellow-white hued F-type main-sequence star with a stellar classification of F6 V. However, Frasca et al. (2009) lists it as a somewhat more evolved F-type subgiant star with a class of F7 IV. At the age of 2.7 billion years, it has an inactive chromosphere and is spinning with a leisurely projected rotational velocity of 3 km/s. It has a faint, magnitude 13.23 red dwarf companion, designated component B, at an angular separation of 248 arc seconds. The system is most likely (96% chance) a member of the thin disk population of the Milky Way.

# Siklós

Siklós (Serbo-Croatian: Šikloš/Шиклош) is the 4th largest town in Baranya county, Hungary. The Malkocs Bey Mosque was built by the order of the Malkoçoğlu family.

## Ottoman conquest

During Sultân Süleymân's 1543 campaign into Hungary, the Ottoman army first took Valpovo, in Slavonia, on June 23. Süleymân then sent his army north of the Drava River to take Siklós, which belonged to the Perényi family [hu], who, during the civil war raging in Hungary, was on the side of King Ferdinand I of Habsburg. Either on June 24 or 25, Siklós was given an opportunity to surrender but the garrison, led by castellan Mihály Vas, refused. On June 26, Siklós was besieged, bombarded, and attacked but the garrison stood strong. While Siklós was besieged, representatives from Pécs arrive and surrender the city. On July 6, after 3,000 cannonballs had hit the fortress, the garrison surrendered, and Süleymân entered the city the next day. From Siklós, the Sultân marched to Pécs. After 143 years of Ottoman rule, Siklós was liberated on October 30, 1686. [hu]
