# Nuclear power in Venezuela

"none" is preferred when the title is sufficiently descriptive; see [[WP:SDNONE]]
The nuclear energy programs of Venezuela started during the 1950s but currently there are no active nuclear power facilities. Most of Venezuela's nuclear science activities are carried out at Venezuelan Institute for Scientific Research (IVIC).
Venezuela does not mine radioactive minerals, but the government estimates that 50 tonnes of unexploited uranium ore are available in the country.

## Historical facilities

During the regime of president Marcos Pérez Jiménez, the RV-1 nuclear reactor at IVIC, was commissioned under the supervision of Humberto Fernández-Morán. The reactor was purchased from General Electric in 1956 and could produce up to 3 MW of power. The reactor reached criticality in 1960 and was shut down in 1994.

## International treaties

Venezuela became a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency in August 1957, and signed the Treaty of Tlatelolco in 1967, under which, the states parties agree to prohibit and prevent the test and creation of nuclear weapons. Venezuela also signed the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) in 1975 and negotiated IAEA Safeguards Agreements covering all its nuclear activities in March 1982.
In 2017, Venezuela signed the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons of the United Nations.
Other deals include a memorandum of understanding with Brazil on cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy of July 1979, followed by a mutual nuclear reactor research project in November 1983. In 2007, an article in newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo reported that uranium mining technology, developed by the Brazilian National Nuclear Energy Commission (CNEN) was transferred to Venezuela.

## Cancelled projects

In 2010, Venezuela announced plans to build a nuclear power station, with support from Russia. Venezuela signed two pacts with Russia, one for mutual collaboration on nuclear energy and a second on for the purchase and installation of two nuclear reactors: a research reactor to be used for medical and scientific purposes and a nuclear power plant.
After the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez announced a halt to plans on building a nuclear power plant.
The agreement with Russia included the training of students in Russia to increase specialized personnel. Many Venezuelan students followed postgraduate studies in Russia until the termination of the training program in 2017.
# Edwin Birdsong

Edwin L. Birdsong (August 22, 1941 – January 21, 2019) was an American keyboardist and organist, known in the 1970s and 1980s for his experimental funk/disco music. Birdsong did not achieve much chart success, but developed a strong fan base. Birdsong has also been sampled by other artists many times, most famously by Daft Punk who sampled "Cola Bottle Baby" in "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger", and Gang Starr who sampled his single "Rapper Dapper Snapper" for their song "Skills".

## Biography

Birdsong was the son of a minister and grew up in a strict fundamentalist environment. He joined the Los Angeles Community Choir for a period before serving in the army during the Vietnam War era. While in the army, he was stationed in Germany. He went on to play in clubs in Germany, and then moved to New York City to pursue his music career. There he headed a jazz and blues trio but experienced little success. While in New York he attended the Manhattan School of Music as well as Juilliard as a composition major.
In 1971 he signed a record deal with Polydor. Under Polydor, he issued his first two full-length albums, What It Is and Supernatural. Birdsong then issued one album for Bamboo, Dance of Survival, in 1975, and recorded Edwin Birdsong for Philadelphia International in 1979, which included the single "Phiss-Phizz". Birdsong also worked extensively with Roy Ayers, co-producing three of his albums and writing "Running Away" and "Freaky Deaky" with him.
Birdsong slowly stopped making his own music but carried on playing session work for many well known artists including Stevie Wonder.
Birdsong served as a mentor early in the career of hip-hop artist/producer Funkghost.

# Adenosine A2B receptor

The adenosine A$_{2B}$ receptor, also known as ADORA2B, is a G-protein coupled adenosine receptor, and also denotes the human adenosine A$_{2b}$ receptor gene which encodes it.

## Mechanism

This integral membrane protein stimulates adenylate cyclase activity in the presence of adenosine. This protein also interacts with netrin-1, which is involved in axon elongation.

## Gene

The gene is located near the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17.

## Ligands

Research into selective A$_{2B}$ ligands has lagged somewhat behind the development of ligands for the other three adenosine receptor subtypes, but a number of A$_{2B}$-selective compounds have now been developed, and research into their potential therapeutic applications is ongoing.

### Agonists

* BAY 60-6583
* NECA (N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine)
* (S)-PHPNECA - high affinity and efficacy at A$_{2B}$, but poor selectivity over other adenosine receptor subtypes
* LUF-5835
* LUF-5845 - partial agonist

### Antagonists and inverse agonists

* Compound 38: antagonist, high affinity and good subtype selectivity
* ISAM-R56A: non-xanthinic high affinity selective antagonist (K$_i$: 1.50 nM)
* ISAM-140: non-xanthinic selective antagonist (K$_i$ = 3.49 nM).
* ISAM-R324A: Soluble and metabolically stable non-xanthinic selective antagonist (K$_i$ = 6.10 nM).
* ATL-801
* CVT-6883
* MRS-1706
* MRS-1754
* OSIP-339,391
* PSB-603: xanthinic antagonist
* PSB-0788: xanthinic antagonist
* PSB-1115: xanthinic antagonist
* PSB-1901: xanthinic antagonist with picomolar potency

# King Li of Zhou

King Li of Zhou (died in 828 BC) (Chinese: 周厲王; pinyin: Zhōu Lì Wáng), also known as King Fen of Zhou (周汾王), personal name Ji Hu, was a king of the Zhou dynasty of China. Estimated dates of his reign are 877–841 BC or 857–842 BC (Cambridge History of Ancient China).
Sima Qian's Records of the Grand Historian depict King Li as a corrupt and decadent king. To pay for his pleasures and vices, King Li raised taxes and caused misery among his subjects. It is said that he barred the commoners from profiting from the communal forests and lakes. He enstated a new law which allowed him to punish anyone, by death, who dared to speak against him. King Li's bad rule soon forced many peasants and soldiers into revolt, and Li was sent into exile at a place called Zhi near Linfen (842 BC). His son was taken by one of his ministers and hidden. When Li died in exile in 828 BC, power was passed to his son.

## Shen Dao fragments

The Shen Dao fragments also depict King Li as a decadent and corrupt king. The fragments say:
   Formerly, during the decline of the house of Zhou, King Li brought trouble and chaos to all under heaven, the feudal lords governed by means of force, and the people desired to act as if there were no hierarchy and annex one another’s land.

# John Man (author)

John Anthony Garnet Man (born 15 May 1941) is a British historian and travel writer. His special interests are China, Mongolia, and the history of written communication.

## Early life

Man studied German and French at Keble College, Oxford, before completing two postgraduate courses, a diploma in the History and Philosophy of Science at Oxford and Mongolian at the School of Oriental and African Studies, finishing the latter in 1968.

## Career

After working in journalism with Reuters and in publishing with Time Life Books, Man turned to writing, with occasional forays into film, TV, and radio.
In the 1990s, he began a series on the revolutions in writing: writing itself, the alphabet, and printing with movable type. This resulted in two books, Alpha Beta and The Gutenberg Revolution, both republished in 2009.
He returned to the subject of Mongolia with Gobi: Tracking the Desert, the first book on the region since the 1920s. Work in Mongolia led to Genghis Khan: Life, Death and Resurrection, published in 2004, which has so far appeared in 21 languages. Attila the Hun and Kublai Khan: The Mongol King Who Remade China, published in 2005 and 2006, respectively, completed a trilogy on Asian leaders.
In 2007 John Man was awarded Mongolia's Friendship Medal for his contributions to UK–Mongolian relations.
Man's 2007 book, The Terracotta Army, coincided with the British Museum exhibition (September 2007 – April 2008). This was followed by The Great Wall, published in 2008. The Leadership Secrets of Genghis Khan (2009) combines history and leadership theory. Xanadu: Marco Polo and the Discovery of the East was published in the autumn of 2009, and Samurai: The Last Warrior, the story of Saigō Takamori's doomed 1877 rebellion against the Japanese emperor, was published in February 2011.
The Mongol Empire (2014) tells the story of the world's greatest land empire, established by Genghis and taken to its fullest extent by his grandson Kublai. It develops two major themes touched on in previous books: the nature of the Mongols' ideology of world rule and the consequences for the modern world of Kublai's conquest of all China.
Also in 2014, Xanadu: Marco Polo and Europe's Discovery of the East was acquired by HarperCollins US, who retitled the book Marco Polo to accompany the 10-part Netflix original TV series Marco Polo.
He is married to writer Timberlake Wertenbaker. Together, they translated the English production of the Mongolian play The Mongol Khan.
