# Janice Merrill-Oldham

Janice Elaine Merrill-Oldham (May 10, 1947 – October 5, 2011) was an American librarian and conservator who was a preeminent figure in the field of library binding and conservation. She served as Malloy-Rabinowitz Preservation Librarian and director of the Weissman Preservation Center at the Harvard Library from 1995 to 2010. She founded and led the University of Connecticut Libraries' Preservation Department from 1983 to 1995.

## Early life and education

Merrill-Oldham was born Janice "Jan" Merrill in Milford, Connecticut, on May 10, 1947. Her parents were Alice Cecarelli Merrill and James Hersey Merrill. She had one sibling, James Wallace Merrill. She was raised in Milford and spent summers with her grandparents in East Sumner, Maine. She graduated from Jonathan Law High School in 1965 and earned her Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Connecticut in 1969.
She began her career as a student employee in the Homer D. Babbidge Library. While employed in the Library's binding department, Merrill-Oldham received a National Endowment for the Humanities fellowship at the Yale University Library, where she received six months of formal training in library and archival conservation in 1979. She earned her Master of Library Science (MLS) from the University of Rhode Island in 1984.

## Leadership and awards

Merrill-Oldham served in leadership roles in the American Library Association's Preservation & Reformatting Section (PARS), the Association of Research Libraries, and other organizations. PARS established the Jan Merrill-Oldham Professional Development Grant in her honor in 2011. The award "supports professional development and involvement by librarians and paraprofessionals new to the preservation field." She was an influential advocate for library conservation, building the Harvard Library's conservation operations until she oversaw one hundred staff and the new Weissman Preservation Center. She was interviewed in-depth by the New York Times in 1986.
Merrill-Oldham authored over forty publications. With Paul A. Parisi, she wrote the eighth Library Binding Institute Standard for Library Binding in 1986. It later became the ANSI/NISO/LBI Z39.78-2000 national information standard. She also coauthored the Guide to the Library Binding Institute Standard for Library Binding (Chicago: American Library Association, 1990).
She received several professional awards. She received the Ross Atkinson Lifetime Achievement Award (2011), the Paul Banks and Carolyn Harris Preservation Award (1994), and the Esther J.

# Al-Alam (book)

al-Aʻlām (Arabic: الأعلام), fully known as al-Aʻlām: Qāmūs Tarājim li-Ashhar al-Rijāl wa-al-Nisāʼ min al-ʻArab wa-al-Mustaʻribīn wa-al-Mustashriqīn (Eminent Personalities: A Biographical Dictionary of Noted Men and Women among the Arabs, the Arabists and the Orientalists) is a biographical work by the Syrian Arab historian, Khayr al-Din al-Zirikli. Written in the Arabic language, the work features biographies for more than a hundred influential people of Arabia, both historic and modern.

## Summary

al-A'lam is a compilation of biographies of the prominent figures in the Arabian Peninsula from pre-Islamic ancient times until contemporary times (the 19th–20th centuries). The placement of each biography is by alphabetical order and date of death. For example, in the book, the biography of 'Amr ibn 'Abd Allah al-Jumahi (died 625 CE) is directly above that of 'Amr ibn 'Abd Allah (died 745 CE). Among the notable figures mentioned in the book include the pre-Islamic knight Abu Layla al-Muhalhel and the early Muslim revert, Abu Bakr.

## Publication history

The first edition of al-A'lam was published in Egypt between 1926 and 1927. The second edition of al-A'lam was then published again in the 1950s, with added portraits and illustrations, as well as being printed in 10 volumes. A revised of al-A'lam was then printed in 8 volumes and published by the Lebanon-based Dar al-'Ilm lil-Malayin publishing house between the years 1978–1979. The same publishing house also would reprint the work in 7 volumes in 2002.

## Commentary

Ahmad Alawinah, a Jordanian researcher and historian, wrote a commentary on al-A'lam that was titled Tawshīḥ kitāb al-A‘lām li-Khayr al-Dīn al-Ziriklī. In his commentary, he gives criticism and praise of al-Zirikli's writings and also adds on to missing information in the biographies.
An annotated version of al-A'lam was later written by the academic Muhammad ibn Abdullah al-Rashid and published in Jordan in the year 2014.

# Hugh Cholmondeley, 1st Earl of Cholmondeley

Hugh Cholmondeley, 1st Earl of Cholmondeley, PC (1662 – 18 January 1725), styled The Honourable from birth until 1681 and then known as Viscount Cholmondeley to 1706, was an English peer and politician.
Cholmondeley was the eldest son of Robert Cholmondeley, 1st Viscount Cholmondeley, and Elizabeth Cradock, and was educated at Christ Church, Oxford. In 1681 he succeeded his father as second Viscount Cholmondeley, but as this was an Irish peerage it did not entitle him to a seat in the English House of Lords. He supported the claim of William and Mary to the English throne, and after their accession in 1689 he was rewarded when he was made Baron Cholmondeley, of Namptwich in the County of Chester, in the Peerage of England (which gave him a seat in the House of Lords). The peerage was created with remainder to his younger brother George. In 1706 he was admitted to the Privy Council and made Viscount Malpas, in the County of Chester, and Earl of Cholmondeley, in the County of Chester, with similar remainder.
Lord Cholmondeley was appointed Comptroller of the Household by Queen Anne in 1708. He held this post only until October of the same year, when he was made Treasurer of the Household. He was stripped of this office in 1713 but restored when George I became king in 1714. He also served as Lord Lieutenant of Anglesey, Caernarvonshire, Denbighshire, Flintshire, Merionethshire and Montgomeryshire from 1702 to 1713 and from 1714 to 1725 and of Cheshire between 1703 and 1713 and 1714 and 1725.
Lord Cholmondeley died in January 1725. He never married and was succeeded in his titles by his younger brother George, who had already been elevated to the peerage in his own right as Baron Newborough.
# Liz Lovelett

Elizabeth P. Lovelett (born 1980) is an American politician of the Democratic Party. She is a member of the Washington State Senate, District 40.
Lovelett was a member of the city council of Anacortes, Washington, representing At-Large Position 6. She was first elected to city council in 2013, defeating incumbent Bill Turner, and was re-elected without opposition in 2017. On February 5, 2019, Lovelett was appointed to the Washington State Senate following the resignation of Kevin Ranker. She was married to Jensen C. Lovelett in 2002. Prior to entering politics, Lovelett and her husband operated the historical The Business record store in Anacortes.
In 2024, Lovelett killed a state legislative proposal to require all Washington cities to allow small businesses, such as cafes, in residential neighborhoods. The bill passed unanimously in the Washington House of Representatives, but was blocked by Lovelett in the Senate where she chairs the local government, land use, and tribal affairs committee.
# Chief executive (head of government)

Chief executive is a term used for a head of government that allows its holder to perform various functions. The term can also apply to heads of state as well, though it is less common. The term may refer to the title of the position, but many constituencies place this power in a position with a different title (e.g., president or prime minister).

## Description

Chief executive is a term used for a head of government (e.g., presidential, prime ministerial, or gubernatorial powers) given by a constitution or basic law, which allows its holder to perform various functions that may include implementing policy, supervising the executive branch of government, preparing an executive budget for submission to the legislature, appointing and removing executive officials, vetoing laws, dissolving the legislature, and submitting their own bills to the legislature.

## Positions titled chief executive

In most cases the title of chief executive is not directly used as the title of the office. The powers are often given to a position with another name, such as president, governor-general, governor, lieutenant-governor, administrator, high commissioner, commissioner, premier, or minister-president. There are a few offices formally styled chief executive:
* In the two special administrative regions of the People's Republic of China, which were previously under British and Portuguese rule until the transfer of sovereignty in the late 20th century, the chief executive are the political and executive leaders of the regions and of their respective governments:
| Title | Created | Superseded / defunct |
| Chief Executive of Hong Kong | 1997 | Governor of Hong Kong |
| Chief Executive of Macau | 1999 | Governor of Macau |
* In Northern Ireland, the chief executive refers to the leader of the Northern Ireland Executive, the devolved government of Northern Ireland for five months in 1974.
* In Mauritius, since 12 October 2002, autonomy was granted to the island of Rodrigues, resulting in the creation of its own chief executive.
* While not a government, the Ross Dependency, part of the Realm of New Zealand, is a Crown entity managed by a board of directors reporting to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the chair acts as the chief executive.
* The head of government in the Falkland Islands is known as the chief executive.
* Historically, the head of government of the Ryukyu Islands was known as the chief executive. The functions were largely superseded by that of the Governor of Okinawa Prefecture upon retrocession of the islands to Japan as a prefecture.

# Sirtuin 7

NAD-dependent deacetylase sirtuin 7 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the SIRT7 gene. SIRT7 is member of the mammalian sirtuin family of proteins, which are homologs to the yeast Sir2 protein.

## Function

SIRT7 facilitates the transcription of DNA by RNA polymerase I, RNA polymerase II, and RNA polymerase III.
In human cells, SIRT7 has only been shown to interact with two other molecules: RNA polymerase I (RNA Pol I) and upstream binding factor (UBF). SIRT7 is localized to the nucleolus and interacts with RNA Pol I. Chromatin immunoprecipitation studies demonstrate that SIRT7 localizes to rDNA, and coimmunoprecipitation shows that SIRT7 binds RNA Pol I. In addition SIRT7 interacts with UBF, a major component of the RNA Pol I initiation complex. It is not known whether or not SIRT7 is modifying RNA Pol I and/or UBF, and if so, what those modifications are.
SIRT7 is expressed more in metabolically active tissues, such as liver and spleen, and less in non-proliferating tissues, such as heart and brain. Furthermore, it has been shown that SIRT7 is necessary for rDNA transcription. Knock down of SIRT7 in HEK293 cells resulted in decreased rRNA levels. This same study found that this SIRT7 knockdown decreased the amount of RNA Pol I associated with rDNA, suggesting that SIRT7 may be required for rDNA transcription. Knock down SIRT7 led to reduced RNA Pol I levels, but RNA Pol I mRNA levels did not change. This suggests that SIRT7 plays a crucial role in connecting the function of chromatin remodeling complexes to RNA Pol I machinery during transcription.
SIRT7 may help attenuate DNA damage and thereby promoting cellular survival under conditions of genomic stress. Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) is more vulnerable to DNA damage than DNA elsewhere in the genome such that rDNA instability can lead to cellular senescence, and thus to senescence-associated secretory phenotype. SIRT7 localizes to rDNA thereby protecting against rDNA instability and cellular senescence.

### DNA repair

Depletion of SIRT7 results in impaired repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by the process of non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). DSBs are one of the most significant types of DNA damage leading to genome instability. SIRT7 is recruited to DSBs where it specifically deacylates histone H3 at lysine 18. This affects the focal accumulation of the DNA damage response factor 53BP1, a protein that promotes NHEJ by protecting DNA from end resection. SIRT7 is recruited to DSBs by poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP).
SIRT7 overexpression has been shown to improve efficiency of NHEJ by 1.5-fold, and of homologous recombination by 2.8-fold.

### Accelerated aging

Sirt7 mutant mice show phenotypic and molecular features of accelerated aging. These features include premature curvature of the spine, reduced weight and fat content, compromised hematopoietic stem cell function and leukopenia, and multiple organ dysfunction. Because SIRT7 facilitates DNA repair, and because DNA damage results in aging phenotypes, defects in SIRT7 results in premature aging.

## Clinical relevance

This gene has been found to be involved in maintenance of oncogenic transformation.
# George Bond (pirate)

George Bond (fl. 1683–1684) was an English pirate active in the Caribbean. He was known for acting in league with the pirate-friendly Governor of St. Thomas, Adolph Esmit.

## History

Bond had been master of the ship Summer Island out of London. On arriving in St. Thomas he purchased a Dutch ship from Governor Esmit, renaming it Fortune’s Adventure. In 1683 aboard his new 100-man ship he seized the English merchant vessel Gideon; he presented it to Esmit, who protected the pirates, outfitted their ship, and rewarded each of them with an ounce of gold dust. After Bond brought him a Dutch prize in December, Esmit maintained it had been salvaged as a shipwreck in order to deter an English party from reclaiming it. The Dutch vessel was later recovered but had been emptied of its cargo by Esmit.
Governor William Stapleton sent the warship HMS Frances under Captain Carlile in August 1683 to bring in Bond, but by that October Bond was still at large: “There is now no pirate abroad but Bond with a small ship and one hundred men. He is expected at St. Thomas where Captain Carlisle is ready for him.” Carlile was unable to capture Bond, and a frustrated Stapleton minced no words when speaking of Esmit's support of Bond, Jean Hamlin, and other pirates: “My lords, there is no safe trading to or from these parts until that receptacle of thieves and sea-robbers be reduced or that Governor hanged who so openly protects them.” Bond also spent a brief time sailing alongside English buccaneer John Eaton.
Around June 1684 Bond captured the formerly French sloop Fox and again brought it to Esmit, who refused the pleas from a Jamaican representative to return it. Bond's ultimate fate is unknown, though he reportedly sailed as a Spanish guarda costa privateer for a time.
# Eamon Donnelly

Eamon Donnelly (19 July 1877 – 29 December 1944) was an Irish politician.
He was born in Middletown, County Armagh, the son of Francis Donnelly, a mason, and Catherine Donnelly (née Haggin). He was a member of the Irish Volunteers. Donnelly was among the group of Volunteers that assembled for the Easter Rising of 1916 in Coalisland, County Tyrone. In 1921 he joined Éamon de Valera's anti-treaty forces and worked to end partition until his death. In February 1923 Donnelly was interned by the Irish Free State military and released in August. Rearrested and again interned he joined the 1923 Irish hunger strikes, undergoing a forty-one day hunger strike. Upon his release Donnelly was appointed Chief Organiser of Sinn Féin. During the 1920s Donnelly worked with the Anti Partitionist Cahir Healy to establish a unified approach against partition. In his 1950 autobiography the Irish diplomat and a founder of The Irish Press newspaper Robert Brennan wrote that Donnelly felt that partition would be short-lived and that "...the contributions Eamonn Donnelly made towards that end will not be forgotten."
While living in Newry, Donnelly was elected as an abstentionist Independent Republican member of the Parliament of Northern Ireland for the Armagh constituency at the 1925 general election. Shortly after his election, he was served with an order excluding him from Northern Ireland. No official reason was given for the granting of this order.
In 1926, he became a founder member of Fianna Fáil. Donnelly was elected to Dáil Éireann as a Fianna Fáil Teachta Dála (TD) for the Leix–Offaly constituency at the 1933 general election. He did not contest the 1937 general election. He also served as Director of Elections for Fianna Fáil.
In 1938, Donnelly visited his wife's house near Newry, and was imprisoned in Belfast Prison, before being given a choice between paying a fine of £25 or returning to prison. Again, no reason for his imprisonment and exclusion was revealed. Donnelly refused to pay the fine and spent a month and a half in prison. That year, he stood for election to the 2nd Seanad, but was not successful.
In 1942, Donnelly was again elected to the Parliament of Northern Ireland, this time in a by-election for Belfast Falls. Again, he refused to take his seat. He died on 29 December 1944. In 2012 Donnelly's family donated more than 400 documents relating to the life and work of Eamon Donnelly to the Newry and Mourne Museum.
