# Thomas Phoenix

Thomas Phoenix was an American lawyer and politician from New York.

## Name

The family name Phoenix, sometimes spelled Phœnix, derives from the homophonous English family name Fenwicks which is pronounced like FENN-ix. (This is quite different from the Greek mythological bird and the Arizona state capital which are pronounced like FEE-nix.) The Fenwicks resided originally at the Fenwick Tower in Northumberland.

## Life

Phoenix graduated A.B. from Columbia College in 1795. He was admitted to the bar in 1798.
He was New York County District Attorney from 1835 to 1838. In 1836, he prosecuted Richard P. Robinson for the murder of Helen Jewett, but lost the case to Ogden Hoffman, his predecessor in the D.A's office, who appeared for the defence and secured Robinson's acquittal.

# Stopping the tide

Stopping the tide (fr. Étaler les marées) was a manoeuver in use during the age of sail. In seas with a strong tide, such as those off the coasts of western Europe, particularly the Channel, the force of the tide on a ship could equal, or surpass, the power derived from sails. So for a ship moving along the Channel in light breezes, a favourable tide could double its speed; contrariwise, when the tide changed the ship could be slowed to a halt, or even be swept backwards. To cope with this, ships would anchor, "stopping the tide", to preserve their progress. The technique played an important role in the naval conflicts of the period.
In actions which lasted a long time (or, at least beyond a change of tide) and which took place in light winds or calm conditions, stopping the tide could be critical. At the battle of Barfleur, for example, when Shovell's squadron was caught by the flood and dropped anchor, the Sandwich, whose captain had failed to prepare for this, was swept by the tide towards, and through, the French line of battle, who had also anchored; she was exposed to their concentrated fire and suffered extensive damage.
As dropping and weighing anchor took time and effort, the decision to do so, and when, could be critical. At the battle of Beachy Head, when the tide changed the allied fleet was at a disadvantage; Torrington was able to anchor against the ebb before the French, who were carried away from him, gaining his fleet a respite. Later, he was able to use the flood to escape. At Barfleur Tourville in the same situation was able to escape by the same means.
A fleet at anchor, and stationary with a tide running past it, was highly vulnerable to attack by fireship; all fleets of the time included fireships for this purpose. The up-tide fleet would send fireships to drift down onto the enemy, whose only option, if they could not destroy them by gunfire, or fend them off using boats, would be to cut their anchor cables and flee.
Cutting and running could also be used to gain a time advantage when using the tide to escape, but involved the loss of an anchor; in a long engagement, where this could happen more than once, a ship could run out of anchors, leaving it helpless before the tide, or have to sacrifice its cannon to jury-rig a replacement. Dramatically, this happened to the French fleet during the pursuit after Barfleur; Tourville's squadron, unable to round Cap de la Hague with the rest of his fleet, and with anchors dragging in a strong flood, were forced to cut, leaving them to be swept along the Normandy coast to be beached at Cherbourg and La Hogue.

# Keachi Baptist Church

Keachi Baptist Church is a historic Baptist church on Louisiana Highway 172 in Keachi in Desoto Parish, Louisiana. The building was constructed in about 1880 in a transitional architectural style, between late Greek Revival and the Gothic Revival.
It has auditorium-style seats which appear to have been salvaged from the former Keachi Female College, across the roadway.
It is significant as representing the persistence of the Greek Revival style in Desoto Parish well after the Civil War.
The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
# PAUG

PAUG ("Pay As You Go") refers to application of credit derivatives technology to structured finance products. It works similarly to a credit default swap (CDS) with the reference entity being a structured finance product such as ABS, commercial mortgage-backed security (CMBS), residential mortgage-backed security (RMBS), etc. The trigger events in PAUG can be classified mainly as “credit events” and “floating rate payment events”. PAUG is a settlement methodology for CDS on ABS reference entities.

## Credit events in PAUG

* Failure to Pay Principal – The Ref Ob fails to make scheduled principal payments.
* Writedown – The Ref Ob writes down (decreases) its outstanding principal amount.
* Distressed Ratings Downgrade – Distressed Ratings Downgrade is an optional credit event which is triggered when the reference obligation is downgraded to 'Caa2/CCC' or below, or the rating is withdrawn by one or more of the three rating agencies.

## Floating rate payment events

Interest Shortfall – The Ref Ob pays interest less than the expected interest for that period.
Writedown – The Ref Ob writes down (decreases) its outstanding principal amount
Principal Shortfall – The Ref Ob fails to make schedule principal payments

## Settlement mechanism

Credit Events (Failure to pay Principal, Writedown, Distressed Downgrade): A Notice of Settlement usually can be sent by the buyer only if the event is deemed to be a "credit event" by the buyer; the intent is to physically settle. The Buyer of protection has the option to physically settle or cash settle- if the Buyer chooses to physically settle, the a credit event has occurred.
Floating Rate Payment Events (Failure to pay Principal, Interest Shortfall, Writedown): A Notice of settlement can be sent by the calculation agent and/or the buyer of protection for failure to pay principal and writedown. The difference between this being a credit event and a floating rate payment event is that when an event occurs, the buyer chooses to cash settle and the trade continues (pay as you go). Interest shortfall is not considered a credit event in any instance, and is always cash settle.

| AllMusic | |
Dean McFarlane of AllMusic noted the surrealism and black humor of Fear No Love and awarded the album three and a half out of five stars, saying "those expecting a heady avant-garde experiment may be shocked to find this record to be a hilarious plunderphonic sampling attack on disco,techno, and R&B music." The Wire gave the album a positive review, saying "Ostertag's method of computeranatomising his colleagues' contributions into samples and mechanically constructing songs out of them is more than usually redundant on this only mildly diverting, dirty talking and dotty pseudofunk outing." The Advocate said "there's an intensely homo sense of humor and humanity at work that enlivens the experimentation."

# Thisbe Lindhorst

Thisbe Kerstin Lindhorst HonFRSC (born 19 November 1962) is a German biochemist who has been professor of organic chemistry and biochemistry at Kiel University since 2000. She was a board member of the German Chemical Society from 2012 to 2019, and was elected as its president from 2016 to 2017. Her research focuses on glycosciences and the function of the glycocalyx.

## Early life and education

Lindhorst was born on 19 November 1962 in Munich. She studied chemistry at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich from 1981 to 1984 and chemistry with biochemistry at the University of Münster from 1985 to 1987. She achieved a PhD at the University of Hamburg in 1991, with a thesis on the inhibitors of fucose metabolism.
She undertook her postdoctorate at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada from 1992, focusing on carbohydrates and dendrimers, before returning to Hamburg to earn her habilitation in 1998.

## Career

In 2000, Lindhorst was appointed Full Professor of Organic Chemistry at Kiel University; she was the first woman to hold the post since the Second World War.
In 2015, Lindhorst was elected president of the German Chemical Society (GDCh) for the 2016–2017 term. She was second women to hold the position in the society's 150-year history.
As part of the society's anniversary commemorations in 2017, Lindhorst co-edited Unendliche Weiten: Kreuz und quer durchs Chemie-Universum, a book covering the implications of modern chemistry to everyday life, with Hans-Jürgen Quadbeck-Seeger. In August 2017, she wrote the editorial for Angewandte Chemie celebrating the GDCh's anniversary, noting chemistry's moral and ethical duties, and pushing for "a culture that has the well-being of the entire population and the planet in mind".

# Stopping down

In photography, stopping down refers to increasing the numerical f-stop number (for example, going from f/2 to f/4), which decreases the size (diameter) of the aperture of a lens, resulting in reducing the amount of light entering the iris of a lens.$^{:112}$
Reducing the aperture size increases the depth of field of the image. In the case of film cameras, this allows less light to reach the film plane – to achieve the same exposure after stopping down, it is necessary to compensate for the reduced light by either increasing the exposure time, or using a photographic film with a higher film speed (ISO). In the case of digital cameras, stopping down the aperture allows less light to reach the image sensor – to achieve the same exposure, it is necessary to compensate for the reduced light by either increasing the exposure time, or increasing the signal gain of the sensor by increasing the camera's ISO setting. Alternatively, more light can be added to the scene by increasing the amount of light illuminating the scene, such as by using or increasing the strength of electronic flash or other light sources.
As a lens is stopped down from its maximum (widest) aperture, most lens aberrations (spherical aberration, coma and astigmatism) are decreased, but lens diffraction increases. The effect is that for most lenses, the balance between the decreasing aberrations and the increasing diffraction effects of stopping down the lens means that lenses have an optimum aperture for best results, often about three stops closed down from maximum aperture, so for a lens with a maximum aperture of ƒ/2.8, ƒ/8 would be the optimum aperture.$^{:180}$
# Luchterhand Literaturverlag

The Luchterhand Literaturverlag is a German publisher of contemporary literature based in Munich. It was founded in 1924, and was acquired by Random House in 2001. Luchterhand is considered one of the most prestigious publishers in Germany. Publications include literature from Günter Grass and Christa Wolf and many others.

## History

In 1924, Hermann Karl Wilhelm Luchterhand founded Luchterhand Publisher in Berlin, dedicated to taxation and law. He then published an information pamphlet on tax, which added to the earlier publications of forms and manuals for the payroll office. In 1934, he appointed Eduard Reifferscheid as managing partner. In 1936, Luchterhand went back to his private life. The reasons for Hermann Luchterhand's withdrawal are still unknown. After the end of World War II, the company's headquarters moved during the reconstruction from Berlin to Neuwied. Alfred Andersch, along with many others, participated with his magazine articles and drawings to create an additional literary program. The first literary publications appeared in 1954.

## Program

The literary program of Luchterhand has existed since the year 1954. The publisher released several works from numerous important authors: such as "Die Vorzüge der Windhühner", the first book by Günter Grass which was followed in 1959 by the novel "The Tin Drum". Besides Grass were, Peter Bichsel, Mikhail Bulgakov, Max von der Grün, Peter Härtling, Helmut Heissenbüttel, Günter Herburger, Arno Holz, Ernst Jandl, Hermann Kant, Kurt Marti, Pablo Neruda, Anna Seghers, Michael Scharang, Robert Wolfgang Schnell, Claude Simon, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Jörg Steiner, Carl Sternheim, Gabriele Wohmann, Christa Wolf, William Butler Yeats and many other authors represented in the program of Luchterhand. An important part of the program had up until the 1990s licensed editions from DDR-authors. In 1993, the Luchterhand collection was sold to dtv Verlagsgesellschaft. Luchterhand has works from more than 100 writers available. Every year, over twenty new titles appear. Among the more well-known works from recent years include "Gleis 4" by Franz Hohler, "Das Ungeheuer" Terézia Mora, "Die Erfindung des Lebens" by Hanns-Josef Ortheil and also "Vor dem Fest" by Saša Stanišić.
# LMX1A

LIM homeobox transcription factor 1, alpha, also known as LMX1A, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the LMX1A gene.

## Function

Insulin is produced exclusively by the beta cells in the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. The level and beta-cell specificity of insulin gene expression are regulated by a set of nuclear genes that bind to specific sequences within the promoter of the insulin gene INS and interact with RNA polymerase to activate or repress transcription. LMX1 is a LIM homeobox transcription factor that binds an A/T-rich sequence in the insulin promoter and stimulates transcription of insulin.

## Interactions

LMX1A has been shown to interact with TCF3 and LHX3.
