# Samir Vincent

Samir Vincent also known as Samir Ambrose Vincent (born 23 October 1940) is an ethnic Assyrian Iraqi American that pleaded guilty in January 2005 to being an unregistered agent for the Iraqi government and reselling oil from the Oil-for-Food Programme to "reap profits totalling millions of dollars". Earlier in his life, he was an Olympic sprinter, hurdler, and triple jumper for Iraq at the 1964 Summer Olympics.

## Oil-for-Food Programme Scandal

In the aftermath of the Gulf War, the U.N. imposed sanctions on Iraq. As an unregistered agent for the Iraqi government, Vincent began lobbying in the U.S. for an end to the U.N. sanctions on the sale of Iraqi oil. Vincent remained largely unsuccessful in his efforts until 1992 when he was introduced to Tongsun Park, who arranged for him to meet Boutros Boutros-Ghali, then the secretary-general of the United Nations. The Oil-for-Food Programme was set up to allow Iraq to sell its oil in return for humanitarian relief, so it would not breach sanctions imposed after the first Iraq war. However it transpired that the former Iraqi regime - which decided who could buy Iraqi oil - used the scheme to bribe people by awarding them contracts in return for a surcharge.
Vincent eventually admitted to charges of fraud, tax violations and acting and conspiring to act as an unregistered agent of the Iraqi government.

## Athletics career

At the 1962 NCAA track and field championships, Vincent was an All-American in the triple jump for the Boston College track and field team. He later went on to represent Iraq at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, taking part in the 110 metres hurdles, 400 metres hurdles, triple jump, and 4 x 100 metres relay.
# Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance

The Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance is a non-profit organization advocating the development and deployment of missile defense for the United States and its allies.

# Encrusted Pottery culture

The Encrusted Pottery culture was an archaeological culture of the Early to Middle Bronze Age (c. 2000-1400 BC) originating in the Transdanubian region of western Hungary. It emerged from the Kisapostag culture, which was preceded by the Somogyvár-Vinkovci culture. The Encrusted Pottery culture expanded eastwards and southwards along the Danube into parts of Croatia, Serbia, Romania and Bulgaria in response to migrations from the northwest by the Tumulus culture, resulting in the emergence of groups such as Dubovác–Žuto Brdo in Serbia and Gârla Mare–Cârna in Romania, which are considered to be southern manifestations of the Encrusted Pottery culture. The culture was named after its distinctive pottery decorated with incised designs inlaid with white lime, and southern groups are notable for the production of figurines or idols decorated in the same style. Stylistic similarities have also been noted between Encrusted Pottery artefacts and artefacts from Mycenaean Greece.

## Genetic profile

Four Y-DNA testings from the Balatonkeresztúr mass grave burial dated to the Encrusted Pottery Culture can be assigned to I2a-M223>>L1229 which is I2a2a1b (group I2a-M223 was present in Megalithic cultures from the British Isles to today’s Czechia), while two males' Y-DNA could be assigned to the R1b-Z2103 clade, which appears in contemporaneous populations such as in Bell Beaker period samples from Hungary or a Vucedol culture associated individual from Croatia (in whichever case the most ancient samples come from the Pontic steppes). The ancestry composition of the eight individuals buried was ~29% hunter-gatherer, ~46% European farmer, ~25% western steppe herder. Some individuals had up to ~47% Mesolithic hunter-gatherer ancestry, despite this component being thought to be highly diluted by the time of the Early Bronze Age.

# Kurt Heinrich Meyer

Kurt Heinrich Meyer or Kurt Otto Hans Meyer (29 September 1883 – 14 April 1952) was a German chemist.

## Life and work

Born in Tartu, Estonia, Meyer was the son of the pharmacologist Hans Horst Meyer. He was a student from 1892 until 1901 in the “Gymnasium Philippinum” in Marburg, Germany. This was followed at first by studies in medicine, later in chemistry in Marburg (where Theodor Zincke was the professor), and in Leipzig, Freiburg, London, and Munich. In Leipzig, Meyer obtained his PhD in 1907 with the dissertation “Untersuchungen über Halochromie” (Research on Halochromie) under the direction of Arthur Hantzsch. Afterwards, following the advice of his father, he travelled to England to complement his education and worked for several months in the laboratory of Ernest Rutherford. After his return to Germany in 1891, he obtained the highest academic degree, the Habilitation, working under the direction of Adolf von Baeyer in Munich on the determination of the equilibrium of the Keto-enol tautomerism of ethyl acetoacetate. This was done through the determination of the Enol content in Keto-Enol-tautomerism equilibria via titration of bromine (“Ueber die Keto-Enol Tautomerie”). The Meyer-Schuster rearrangement and the "Meyer’s Back Titration" method bear his name.
In World War I, beginning in 1914, Meyer served as an officer in the artillery, however he was called in 1917 to carry out warfare research work in the Kaiser Wilhelm Society Institute in Berlin under the direction of Fritz Haber. After the end of the war he worked at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich under the direction of Richard Willstätter. After a few more years at the university, he moved in 1921 to the BASF AG in Ludwigshafen, where he was appointed as director of the Research laboratories. Here his interests were concerned with high Polymer chemistry. He worked in collaboration with Herman Francis Mark, whom he had brought into his institute. In 1929 he relinquished this position of director and in 1931 became Professor of organic and inorganic Chemistry at the University of Geneva in Switzerland. There, one of his long-time collaborators was A.J.A. van der Wijk. Among his many students and collaborators was Edmond H. Fischer, who obtained in 1992 the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine he shared with Edwin G. Krebs. Fischer's doctoral research was involved with the isolation and purification of the Alpha-amylase, where he confirmed its nature as that of a protein, and not of a polysaccharide.
Meyer died in 1952 on a vacation in Menton, France. His son, Horst Meyer, studied at the universities of Geneva and Zürich and since 1959 has been a professor of physics – emeritus since 2005 - at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.

# Wadi al-Nasara

Wadi al-Nasara (Arabic: وادي النصارى / ALA-LC: Wādī an-Naṣārá "Valley of Christians") is an area in western Syria that administratively belongs to the governorate of Homs.
Most people in the area are Greek Orthodox Christians. It is ecclesiastically under the Archdiocese of Akkar, which has its seat in Cheikh Taba, Lebanon. The current Greek Orthodox Metropolitan of Akkar and Wadi al-Nasara and its dependencies (Safita and Tartus) is Basilius Mansour.

## Touristic attractions

Wadi al-Nasara was a popular tourist site before the outbreak of the Syrian civil war. Among its touristic attractions are the Saint George's Monastery located in the town of al-Mishtaya, the Krak des Chevaliers Crusader castle located in the village of al-Husn and the shrine of the Lady of the Valley in al-Nasira.

# Lake Kussharo

Lake Kussharo (屈斜路湖, Kussharo-ko) is a caldera lake in Akan National Park, eastern Hokkaidō, Japan. As with many geographic names in Hokkaidō, the name derives from the Ainu language. It is the largest caldera lake in Japan in terms of surface area, and the sixth largest lake in Japan. It is also the largest lake in Japan to freeze over completely in winter. The name Lake Kutcharo is also sometimes used.
The lake's central island, Nakajima (not to be confused with another island of the same name in Lake Tōya), is a stratovolcano. It is also Japan's largest recursive island. Volcanic gases render the lake water acidic, and it supports few fish, except in areas where inflowing streams dilute the water. Rainbow trout, which are resistant to fairly acidic water, have been artificially introduced.
In 1951, the rare Hyalessa maculaticollis, commonly known as the Minminzemi cicada was discovered, and is now protected by the government. The lake is also on the migratory path of the whooper swan.
Along the lake shore are several outdoor hot springs and a sand beach, with naturally heated sand and hot groundwater.
The lake is also known as "Japan's Loch Ness", after numerous reported sightings on a lake monster, dubbed Kusshii by the press from 1973.
When the layer of ice covering the lake contracts under extreme cold, it reveals water that freezes and fills in with new ice. Later, as daytime temperatures rise, with no room for the ice to expand, the resulting pressure causes ridges to form. This phenomenon can only be seen during the coldest time of winter.

## Wakoto Peninsula

Wakoto was originally a volcanic island in the lake, now a peninsula connected to Lake Kussharo's southern shore due to sediment build up. The peninsula has unique characteristics, with its hot springs making it one of the few places to see band-legged ground crickets (Nemobiinae) all year round. Wakoto is the northernmost habitat in Japan of the Minminzemi cicada and their only habitat in eastern Hokkaido.

# Alex Watson (football manager)

Alexander Watson (1864 – 12 July 1931) was secretary-manager of Birmingham Football Club from 1908 to 1911.

## Life and career

Alexander Watson was born in 1864 in Patterdale, Westmorland, to Scottish parents, John Watson, a lead miner, and his wife, Helen. By the time of the 1871 Census, the family had moved to Monkwearmouth Shore, in Sunderland, County Durham, where John Watson had worked in the coal mines.
Watson became a schoolteacher, a career he followed alongside his involvement with football. He was joint secretary of Sunderland A.F.C. from 1894 to 1900, and remained on the administrative staff thereafter. At the time of the McCombie benefit case in 1904, when courts and the Football Association ruled and overruled on whether the player Andy McCombie had to repay £100 lent him by the club to start up a business, Watson was financial secretary, and was one of eight Sunderland officials suspended from football for varying periods – in his case 18 months – over irregularities in the club's financial arrangements. The Sunderland Daily Echo's opinion was that the removal of Watson from involvement with local football in the area would be detrimental to those organisations with which he worked.
In 1908, Birmingham were relegated from the First Division of the Football League, and their long-serving secretary-manager, Alf Jones, retired. There were 135 applications for the vacancy, four candidates were interviewed, and Watson was appointed. The team finished bottom of the 1909–10 Second Division, and their application for re-election to the League was successful. Watson resigned as secretary-manager at the end of the next season, and the club decided to split the role: Bob McRoberts was appointed as team manager, with no secretarial duties, and Watson's former assistant, Frank Richards, took over as secretary.
Watson, who was married with a daughter, returned to Sunderland and resumed his teaching career, from which he retired towards the end of the 1920s. He had been a chorister at St Andrew's Church, Roker, since it was built in the 1900s, and was secretary of the parochial church council. On 12 July 1931, he was at the church preparing for the morning service when he collapsed and died.
