# Phytosome

A phytosome is a complex formed by a natural active ingredient and a phospholipid. The most common example of a phytosome is Lecithin.
Phytosomes are claimed to enhance the absorption of "conventional herbal extracts" or isolated active principles, both topically and orally.
Complexation with phospholipids has been applied to a number of popular herbal extracts and active molecules including Ginkgo biloba extract, bilobalide isolated from Ginkgo biloba, silybin isolated from milk thistle (Silybum marianum), curcumin isolated from turmeric, and green tea extract (Camellia sinensis).
An attempt to trademark the term in the USA failed on appeal. Legal analysis in the USA concluded, "Applicant's fatal error, according to the Board, was in using the term as the sole designation for its new product." At least one dictionary defined it as "a new term cosmetologists are using for the combination of liposomes ... and plant extracts."
Nevertheless, Phytosome - along with Meriva - is a registered trademark of Indena S.p.A. in major countries.

Mark's response was that those who had not been promoted may have to be retired, meaning that unproductive workers will have to be let go. He also espoused the opinion of death penalty for telecom cable thieves, as well as a policy of dismantling under-utilized telecom facilities citing political considerations for giving allocations to towns with limited use of phone networks.

When leading the review of the Nigerian Constitution, Mark reportedly urged his colleagues to set aside their personal interests and focus on the interests of the Nigerian people. After the UK criticized Nigeria's Prohibition of Same-Sex Marriage bill, threatening to pull their foreign aid, Mark responded that they "should keep [their] aid." Mark called Nigeria's National Football Federation the "centre of corruption in the country," suggesting that they may need to temporarily disband to allow for reconstruction.
In September 2018, making plans to contest for the Nigerian presidency, Mark appointed Zainab Abdulkadir Kure as his campaign manager and Abba Ejembi as campaign's spokesperson.

# Palestinians in Pakistan

Palestinians in Pakistan (Arabic: فلسطينيو باكستان) once compromised a population of 8,000 during the 1970s. Now, however, the community has considerably grown to figures ranging between 40,000 and 50,000. Most Palestinians found in Pakistan are most commonly students of medicine and engineering, seeking education in various universities and institutions across the country such as Karachi, Lahore, Hyderabad, Quetta and Multan. Settled families on the other hand, are primarily based in Islamabad and Karachi.
The recent years have shown an increase in the number of Palestinians migrating to the country, as students increasingly opt to complete undergraduate degrees in Universities in Islamabad and Karachi. Pakistani government reserves 50 seats for Palestinian students in universities across the country: 13 are for medicine, 4 for dentistry, 23 for engineering, and 10 for pharmacy. Eight scholarships are also offered. Over 45,000 Palestinian students have graduated from universities and institutes in Pakistan.

## History

From the post Zulfiqar Bhutto-era of the 1970s, Palestinian families settled across Pakistan in large numbers, as many seats and employment opportunities were offered to students and professionals. After the 1990s however, tougher-implemented foreign policies restricted the open mass-migration patterns and only a limited number of people entered the country. During the Afghan-Russian Cold War, there were numerous Palestinians who took aid and shelter in Pakistan while fighting alongside the U.S.-backed guerillas against the Soviet Union. A particular incident citing the presence of these fighters was the November 24, 1989 Peshawar car bomb-explosion, which killed three Palestinians who had lived in Pakistan (including Abdullah Yusuf Azzam) for 15 months, embroiled in Afghanistan's decade-old war, fighting on the side of anti-Communist guerrillas.
There is an organisation of Palestinian students, called the General Union of Palestinian Students (Islamabad).

## Notable people

* Abdullah Yusuf Azzam
* Embassy of Palestine, Islamabad
# Honeoye Creek

Honeoye Creek (/ˈhʌniɔɪ/ HUN-ee-oy) is a tributary of the Genesee River in western New York in the United States. The name Honeoye is from the Seneca word ha-ne-a-yah, which translates to "lying finger", or "where the finger lies". The name refers to the local story of a Native American who had his finger bitten by a rattlesnake and therefore cut off his finger with a tomahawk.

## Course

Honeoye Creek emerges from the north end of Honeoye Lake, one of the Finger Lakes, in the town of Richmond, Ontario County. The hamlet of Honeoye within Richmond is located on the creek where it passes under US Route 20A.
As Honeoye Creek flows northward, it is joined by the Hemlock Outlet Creek and then becomes the border between Ontario County and Livingston County. The stream flows into Monroe County, passing the village of Honeoye Falls in Mendon, where it flows over a waterfall. Honeoye Creek then continues in a westerly direction and enters the Genesee River in West Rush, near Avon.
