# Resurrection Men

Resurrection Men is a 2002 novel by Ian Rankin. It is the thirteenth of the Inspector Rebus novels. It won the Edgar Award for Best Novel in 2004.

## Plot summary

Detective Inspector John Rebus has been sent to Tulliallan, the Scottish Police College for 'retraining' as part of a small group of senior officers who have become undisciplined; they are "the Resurrection Men," whose careers need to be resuscitated long enough for them to earn their pensions. Rebus was sent to Tulliallan for throwing a cup of tea at DCS Gill Templer, but in fact he is working undercover on behalf of the Chief Constable to learn about a possible 1994 theft by a group of the senior officers attending the course. To complicate things further, the officers in the course are assigned the unsolved 1995 case of the murder of a Glasgow gangster, a case originally investigated by one of them and about which Rebus knows all too much. While investigating his fellow officers for a past crime, he now has to fear that they will expose his own secrets.
Back at St Leonard's police station, DS Siobhan Clarke and the other officers are pursuing a murder inquiry, the brutal death of an Edinburgh art dealer named Marber. Clues involve a stolen painting by Jack Vettriano, a large disbursement to a painter who had been claiming Marber was cheating artists and clients, and a young prostitute for whom Marber was providing a home. DS Clarke suspects Edinburgh gangster 'Big Ger' Cafferty of owning the spa where the prostitute works, the cab company that Marber used on the night of his death, and possibly a mysterious stash of paintings purchased from Marber a few years earlier. When the stolen painting turns up in one suspect's garden shed, he is arrested, but she remains skeptical and continues to pursue other avenues of inquiry.
Meanwhile, the Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency asks Rebus to act as a go-between with the Weasel, Big Ger's right-hand man. Rebus does not try too hard to persuade the Weasel to turn Cafferty over. However, he gets an idea about planning a heist of a secret trove of SDEA drugs; by involving the suspected police officers, he hopes to provoke them to reveal their earlier exploit.
While Clarke turns out to be on the wrong track, and Rebus makes a mess of his undercover mission, they work as partners to discover Marber's murderer and his connection with the 1994 theft by the police officers.
The title, besides the explanation in the book itself, is a reference to the body-snatchers of the 19th century, who were known as 'resurrectionists' or 'resurrection men'. Rebus himself, in the preceding novel, The Falls, was preoccupied with Burke and Hare who posed as grave-robbers and are often carelessly identified as 'resurrection men.'

## TV Adaptation

Resurrection Men was the first episode in the fourth Rebus television series, starring Ken Stott, airing in 2007.
# Pyotr Karyshkovsky

Petro Karyshkovsky-Ikar (Ukrainian: Петро Йосипович Каришковський; March 12, 1921, Odesa – March 6, 1988, Odesa) was a Ukrainian Soviet historian, numismatist, a scholar and lexicographer.
Doctor of Historical Sciences, professor, since 1963 and until his last days he headed the department of ancient history and medieval Odesa University.

## Biography

In 1945, he graduated from the Faculty of History in Odesa University. During 1946–1948 he was a graduate student of World History (Ancient and Byzantine History). In 1951 Petro completed his master's thesis (Political relations between the Byzantine Empire, Bulgaria and Kyivan Rus' in the years 967–971) and at the same time began to publish articles in journals Questions of History, Byzantine chronicle, Journal of Ancient History on Rus'ian-Byzantine relations in the 10th century.
Over time, his research interests changed, and he became a researcher of antiquity, especially on the history and culture of the Northern Black Sea and the city of Byzantium. He published about 180 papers, of which the most significant focus on epigraphy and numismatics - especially the coins of Olbia, which Karyshkovskij-Ikar defended in his 1968 doctoral dissertation on Coinage and Monetary Circulation in Olbia (6th century B.C. – 4th century A.D.).
Continuing to work at the Odesa University, Karyshkovskij-Ikar read various courses of lectures, often on the history of Ancient Greece and Rome. Extensive knowledge and erudition enabled him over the years to lecture at the History Department of the six historical courses, six specialized disciplines and to develop a lot of special courses on ancient and medieval history, the course "Introduction to Numismatics" and others.
The depth of research of Petro was to a large extent because he had a perfect command of many languages: English, German, Italian, Romanian, Polish, Czech, Bulgarian, Serbian, Latin and ancient Greek.
Karyshkovskij-Ikar was elected a corresponding member of the German Archaeological Institute, the American Numismatic Society, and was a founding member of the Odesa Archaeological Society.
He was honoured by his native Odesa, which gave his name to a street of the city.

# Mae Thom

Mae Thom (Thai: แม่ทอม) is a subdistrict (Tambon) in Bang Klam District, Songkhla, Thailand. The subdistrict is located on the north side of Hat Yai, on the west bank of the Khlong U-Tapao River. As of 2012, the subdistrict has a population of 2,268.
The village itself is even older than Hat Yai, as it used to be the gateway for upstream migration from the Songkhla Lake and the ocean in ancient times. From available records, the area started to be populated around 17th century by people from other areas around Songkla Lake, Chinese immigrants, and Muslims from both Malay Peninsula and Persia. Until recently, villagers had been self-sufficient in producing and consuming within the village. Now, they are part of the urban and world economies. Villagers no longer work the land for a living. Paddy fields and plantations have been left uncultivated for many years. They become wage earners at factories and other business establishments in the cities.
The first community institution, a Buddhist temple, was founded approximately in 1760. It was in Nong Hin, used as a cemetery after the temple was moved to higher ground to avoid flooding. It was moved to where it is now in 1890 and received the name “Wat Kutao”. It became the first Buddhist temple in the area. The new location is on the west bank of Khlong-U-Tapao River, more convenient for transportation. “Ubosot”, the official sacred place for Buddhist monks to perform religious ceremony, was not finished until 1902.
Wall paintings inside are essentially the masterpiece, reflecting capability of local artists at that time. It depicted the tale of Vessantara, the king who gave up everything he owned to pave the way for achieving enlightenment. It was done at the same time of the construction of the building. Even though the paint was chipped and faded away over the period of over 150 years, it still retains great beauty, imagination, and wisdom of self-taught local artists.

## Administration

The subdistrict is divided into 6 administrative villages (Muban).
| No. | Name | Thai |
| 1. | Ban Nong Hin | บ้านหนองหิน |
| 2. | Ban Mae Thom Tok | บ้านแม่ทอมตก |
| 3. | Ban Hua Non Wat | บ้านหัวนอนวัด |
| 4. | Ban Mae Thom Ok | บ้านแม่ทอมออก |
| 5. | Ban Na Rak Nok Nuea | บ้านนารักนกเหนือ |

# Alan Ming-ta Wu

Alan Ming-ta Wu (Traditional Chinese: 吳明達; 1938/1939 – 1981) was a Taiwanese-American molecular biologist and immunologist who developed techniques to grow hematopoietic stem cells in cell culture.

## Early life and education

Wu was born in Tainan, Taiwan, and attended Chang Jung Senior High School [zh] in Tainan. He obtained his medical degree from National Taiwan University Medical School and served for two years as a medical officer in the Republic of China Army.

## Research

Wu conducted research for his PhD in medical biophysics with Till & McCulloch at the Ontario Cancer Institute in Toronto. Wu's PhD work demonstrated the relation between bone marrow and T cells. He was the first to grow stem cells (then called colony forming cells) in cell culture. This allowed Wu to transplant a single cell that generated the entire hematopoietic system in a mouse.
Following his PhD, Wu joined Harrison Echols' lab in the US, performing pioneering work on the regulation of viral genes. They probed the mechanism whereby the cI protein of phage λ represses expression of viral genes through interactions with host RNA polymerase.
In 1971, Wu obtained a position as Senior Scientist at the NIH in Bethesda, Maryland. He collaborated with Bob Gallo on studying how oncogenic viruses replicate, which included studies of reverse transcriptase. Wu applied this knowledge to probe the effects of drugs on mouse tumours induced by oncogenic viruses. He became director of molecular biology at cancer research firm Litton Bionetics Inc.
Wu returned to Toronto in 1976 to take up a position as an Associate Professor of Anatomy. His lab developed techniques for the long-term culture of human T cell progenitors, enabling detailed analysis of T cell biology.
The Institute of Medical Sciences at University of Toronto presents their annual Alan Wu Poster Prize to the most outstanding poster presentations at IMS Scientific Day. This award in honour of Wu notes that "He was well recognized for his research excellence, his passion for science and his strong belief in the value of translational medicine."

## Personal details

Wu married Gillian Edwards, a fellow graduate student. They have two sons, Tim Wu and David Wu.
Wu was active in the Taiwan independence movement.
Wu was an avid runner, completing ten marathons in the five years before his death.
Wu died from a brain tumour in 1981.
# Birtha (Mesopotamia)

Birtha (Greek: Βίρθα) was an ancient fortress on the river Tigris, which was said to have been built by Alexander the Great. It would seem, from the description of Ammianus, to have resembled a modern fortification, flanked by bastions, and with its approaches defended by out-works. Shapur II here closed his campaign in 360, and was compelled to retire with considerable loss. D'Anville and Edward Gibbon both identify Birtha as modern-day Tikrit, Iraq.
The word "Birtha" in Syriac means a castle or fortress, and might be applied to many places. From the known position of Dura, it has been inferred that the remarkable passage of the Tigris by Jovian in 363 took place near Tikrit. Towards the end of the 14th century, this impregnable fortress was stormed by Timur. The ruins of the castle are on a perpendicular cliff over the Tigris, about 200 feet (65 m) high. This insulated cliff is separated from the town by a broad and deep ditch, which was no doubt filled by the Tigris. At the foot of the castle is a large gate of brick-work, which is all that remains standing; but round the summit of the cliff the walls, buttresses, and bastions are quite traceable. There are the ruins of a vaulted secret staircase, leading down from the heart of the citadel to the water's edge.

# Recruiting Act 1703

The Recruiting Act 1703 (2 & 3 Ann. c. 13) was an Act of the Parliament of England, after the start of the War of the Spanish Succession in Europe, with Queen Anne's War in America. It was long titled An Act for raising Recruits for the Land Forces, and Marines, and for dispensing with Part of the Act for the Encouragement and Increase of Shipping and Navigation, during the present War. With the pressures of war, the act provided for the forcible enlistment of able bodied men into the army and navy who did not have visible means of subsistence. It also established administration and regulations under the act within local jurisdictions and became effective for one year from 1 March 1703.
Section eight of the act relaxed the normal crewing requirements for merchant ships under the Navigation Acts, which mandates that three quarters of the crew be English subjects. This act allowed up to half the crew to be foreigners during the war. It was intended to make experienced English seamen more available to serve on ships of war.
The act was repealed by the Statute Law Revision Act 1867.

# Nikolaos Roussen

Nikolaos Roussen (Greek: Νικόλαος Ρουσσέν, 1913–1944) was a Greek naval officer who distinguished himself during World War II. He served in the two most successful Greek submarines of the war as executive officer and captain. He died during the suppression of the Navy mutiny in April 1944.

## Life

Roussen was born in Athens on 25 April 1913. After completing his studies in the Hellenic Naval Academy in 1929-1933, he was commissioned as ensign. His first command was the torpedo boat Doris (1936–1937). He was subsequently promoted to sub-lieutenant and entered the Submarine School. During the Greco-Italian War, he served in the submarine Katsonis. In December 1940, he was promoted to Lieutenant. Following the German invasion and capitulation of the Army, the surviving ships of the fleet fled to Alexandria in Egypt. In the Middle East, he served aboard the armoured cruiser Averof before returning to the Katsonis as its XO.
On 10 October 1942, Roussen was assigned as captain of Katsonis' sister vessel, the submarine Papanikolis. With this vessel, Roussen operated in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Aegean Sea, scoring a number of successes. On 30 November, Papanikolis successfully ambushed and sank an 8,000-ton cargo vessel at the Alimnia islet, near Rhodes, and on subsequent patrols in January, March and May, she captured two large schooners and sank further five.
In early 1944, political tensions grew both in occupied Greece and in the Greek Armed Forces in the Middle East. As liberation drew nearer, the simmering conflict between the country's dominant resistance group, the Communist-controlled National Liberation Front (EAM), with the conservative sections of Greek society, and with the royalist Greek government in exile, erupted. In April 1944, pro-EAM demonstrations took place in several Greek units in Egypt, and the majority of the Navy's ships were commandeered by their crews. In order to quell this mutiny, the government formed special boarding detachments of reliable officers. Thus, on 22 April 1944, while leading his detachment to recover the corvette Apostolis, Roussen was mortally wounded. On 27 April, he was posthumously promoted to captain.

## Awards and honours

Roussen was awarded several decorations for his successful service as a submarine commander: the War Cross Second Class, on 5 January 1940 (as XO of the Katsonis) and again on 25 February 1943, the War Cross First Class on 30 January 1942 and again posthumously on 23 April 1944, while on 1 September 1943 he was awarded the British Distinguished Service Cross. On 27 September 1945 he was posthumously awarded the Outstanding Actions Medal for his war service.
Two Hellenic Navy ships have been named after him: the landing ship Ypoploiarchos Roussen (L-164) (1958–2001), and the new fast attack craft Roussen (P67), the lead ship of the Roussen class, commissioned in December 2005.
