# Samer Hattar

Samer Hattar (Arabic: سامر حتر) is a chronobiologist and a leader in the field of non-image forming photoreception. He is the Chief of the Section on Light and Circadian Rhythms at the National Institute of Mental Health, part of the National Institutes of Health. He was previously an associate professor in the Department of Neuroscience and the Department of Biology at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD. He is best known for his investigation into the role of melanopsin and intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGC) in the entrainment of circadian rhythms.

## Life

Samer Hattar was born in Amman, Jordan to a Jordanian father and a Lebanese mother. Raised in a Christian family, he planned on becoming a priest. He studied at Terra Sancta High School, a Catholic high school in Amman, from 1978 to 1988. He earned good grades in his classes and fell in love with biology when introduced to Mendel's pea plant experiments. This passion inspired him to pursue a career in science. He attended Yarmouk University in Irbid for his undergraduate studies, where he majored in Biology and minored in Chemistry. His high marks earned him the honor of meeting Hassan Bin Talal, the prince of Jordan. After graduating from Yarmouk in 1991, he completed a master's degree in biochemistry at the American University of Beirut in Beirut. He began his graduate studies in biochemistry in 1993 at the University of Houston where he studied circadian regulation of a transcription factor in aplysia. Hattar completed his postdoctoral fellowship at the Solomon Snyder Department of Neuroscience at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, where he made discoveries on ipRGCs. In 2004, he established his laboratory in the Department of Biology at Johns Hopkins University. He is married to Rejji Kuruvilla, a neuroscientist also working at Johns Hopkins.

## Scientific work

Hattar is known for his work in the area of chronobiology. He is credited with discovering that the photopigment melanopsin and associated ipRGCs play an important role in the entrainment of circadian rhythms Before Hattar's work, it was assumed that organisms entrained to daily light-dark cycles through the same mechanisms that are responsible for vision. However, case studies reported that some who were completely blind could still entrain to these cycles. This observation, coupled with the discovery of melanopsin by Ignacio Provencio, led Hattar to hypothesize that this photopigment might be responsible for photoentrainment.

# Roman Ivanisov

Roman Valeriyovych Ivanisov (Ukrainian: Роман Валерійович Іванісов; born 2 November 1978) is a Ukrainian politician and convicted child rapist currently serving as a People's Deputy of Ukraine from Ukraine's 153rd electoral district since 29 August 2019, at first as a member of Servant of the People and currently as an independent since 2019.

## Early life and career

Roman Valeriyovych Ivanisov was born on 2 November 1978, in the city of Berdiansk on Ukraine's Sea of Azov coastline. He is a graduate of the Berdiansk Business and Management University, and has a specialisation in law.
From 2005 to 2015, Ivanisov worked in the gas industry, as general director of UkrNaftaProm Alliance. In 2006, he founded Akva Volyn.

## 1995 child rape case

On 14 September 1995, Ivanisov was arrested by the Kuibysheve Raion and charged with rape of a minor and unnatural rape of a minor (sections 117.3 and 118.2 of the Ukrainian Criminal Code at the time), and sentenced to pre-trial detention on 22 September 1995. Three days later, he was released, only to be detained again on 25 October 1995. On 21 March 1996, Ivanisov was found guilty and sentenced to 3.5 years imprisonment.
The extent to which Ivanisov spent time imprisoned has been debated. Sources within law enforcement agencies have suggested that Ivanisov served 2.5 years before being released, while others have suggested that he served for only half a year before being pardoned by then-President Leonid Kuchma.

## Political career

From 2010 to 2015, Ivanisov served as a member of the Rivne Oblast Council from Batkivshchyna, representing the 37th district of the Oblast Council. In 2015, he ran as the Petro Poroshenko Bloc candidate in the Oblast Council's 63rd district, consisting of the city of Rivne, but was ultimately unsuccessful. Between 2015 and 2016, he was an advisor to Vitaliy Chuhunnikov, then Governor of Rivne Oblast.
In the 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election, Ivanisov ran in Ukraine's 153rd electoral district as the candidate of Servant of the People. At the time of his election, he was an independent. In the Verkhovna Rada (Ukraine's parliament), he was originally a member of the Servant of the People faction and is currently a member of the Verkhovna Rada Anti-Corruption Committee.
In November 2019, Ivanisov's 1996 conviction for rape became known. In response, Ivanisov was suspended from the Servant of the People faction on 25 November 2019. He denied any wrongdoing, claiming the information was false, and displayed his lack of criminal record. Prosecutor General Ruslan Riaboshapka claimed that Ivanisov's rape conviction had been expunged, but the Prosecutor General's office refuted this, saying that an investigation was ongoing. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that if conclusive evidence of Ivanisov's involvement was found, he should be expelled from the Verkhovna Rada. On 21 November 2022, Andriy Portnov publicly revealed the verdict of Ivanisov's arrest.

He made a total of 189 Football League appearances for Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town scoring 33 goals. He was the younger brother of Manchester United and England outside right Johnny Berry, whose career was ended by the Munich air disaster.

## Playing career

Berry was born in Aldershot, Hampshire, the son of Mary (née O'Connor) and Reginald Berry, a Sergeant in the RHA; he lived with his family on Crimea Road in the town.
Berry began his youth career at Crystal Palace and signed professional terms in August 1951. However his career was then interrupted by National Service and he did not make his debut until January 1954. He began his career as a winger but played mainly as an inside forward and could also play at centre forward. Over the following four seasons Berry was a regular in the Palace first team making a total of 151 League appearances, scoring 27 times. In May 1958, Berry was signed, together with Palace colleague Jimmy Belcher for Ipswich Town, by then manager Alf Ramsay.

# Manimekhala

Manimekhala (Pali: Maṇīmekhalā) is a goddess in the Hindu-Buddhist mythology. She is regarded as a guardian of the seas, namely the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea as part of the mythology of Southeast Asia. She was placed by Cātummahārājika to protect virtuous beings from shipwreck. She appears in several Buddhist stories including the Mahanipata Jataka (Mahajanaka Jataka), in which she rescues Prince Mahajanaka from a shipwreck.

## Etymology

In Pali, maṇīmekhalā refers to a girdle or belt of jewels. In Southeast Asia, she is known by various indigenized appellations, including as Mani Maykhala (မဏိမေခလာ) in Burmese, as Moni Mekhala (មណីមេខលា) or Neang Mekhala (នាងមេខលា) in Khmer; as Mani Mekkhala (มณีเมขลา) in Thai.

## In Mainland Southeast Asia

Archaeological evidence of Manimekhala in the form of reliefs has been found in Zothoke, Myanmar (near Bilin), dating to the first millennium AD.
Manimekhala is seen in wat paintings across Mainland Southeast Asia depicting scenes from the Mahajanaka. In Thailand and Cambodia, she is considered a goddess of lightning and the seas.

### Manimekhala and Ramasura

The story of Manimekhala and Ramasura is mentioned many times in the classical literature of Cambodia and Thailand. It depicts Manimekhala along with Ramasura (usually considered a depiction of Parashurama) and Arjuna. According to legend, the phenomena of lightning and thunder is produced from the flashing of Manimekhala's crystal ball and the sound of Ramasura's axe as he pursues her through the skies.

## In Sri Lanka

In Sri Lanka, she is considered to be the sea goddess. In the Tamil epic poem, the Manimekalai, she puts the eponymous heroine to sleep and takes her to the island Maṇipallavam (Nainatheevu). In the mythic cycle of the god Devol, when the latter approaches Sri Lanka and his ship founders, it is Manimekhalai, on the instructions of the god Śakra, who conjures up a stone boat to save him.

## Dance

In the classical dance traditions of Thailand and Cambodia, sacred dramatic dances depict the story of Manimekhala and Ramasura.

### Cambodia

Robam Moni Mekhala (Khmer: របាំមុនីមេខលា, also known as Robam Mekhala-Reamesor) is a Khmer classical dance that portrays the story of Moni Mekhala and Reamesor. It is part of the buong suong dance suite that is among the most sacred of Khmer classical dances, serving a ceremonial purpose to invoke rain upon the land.

### Thailand

In Thailand, the Mekkhala–Ramasun dance was performed as a boek rong ('prelude dance') introduction before main performances of lakhon nai or khon dances.

## In modern usage

* The popular Burmese pop singer Maykhala derives her stage name from Manimekhala.
* Her name was contributed by Thailand for tropical cyclone names occurring as Tropical Storm Mekkhala in 2002, 2008, 2015, and 2020. Also, one award given to the television industry in Thailand since 1980 is called the Mekkhala Award.
