# Coproporphyrinogen I

Coproporphyrinogen I is an isomer of coproporphyrinogen III, a metabolic intermediate in the normal biosynthesis of heme. The compound is not normally produced by the human body; its production and accumulation causes a type of porphyria.
The difference between coproporphyrinogen I and III is the arrangements of the four carboxyethyl ("P" groups) and the four methyl groups ("M" groups). The I isomer has the sequence MP-MP-MP-MP, whereas in the III isomer it is MP-MP-MP-PM, with the last two side chains reversed.

## Biosynthesys

Coproporphyrinogen I is not produced in the normal porphyrin biosynthesis pathway. However, if the enzyme uroporphyrinogen-III cosynthase is missing or inactive, the compound uroporphyrinogen I is produced instead of uroporphyrinogen III. The enzyme uroporphyrinogen III decarboxylase will also act on the I isomer, producing coproporphyrinogen I:
The reaction entails the conversion of the four carboxymethyl (acetic acid) side chains to methyl groups, with release of four molecules of carbon dioxide.
Unlike the III isomer, coproporphyrinogen I (which is cytotoxic) is not further processed by the body, and accumulates. This situation occurs in the pathological condition called congenital erythropoietic porphyria.
# Coprophobia

Coprophobia is fear of or aversion to feces or defecation.
In humans, the attitude to feces and defecation has become a cultural taboo.
In the animal world, many herbivorous grazing animals including cows, sheep, horses, and reindeer avoid feces when feeding. Primates also prefer to forage away from feces-contaminated areas. The aversion is believed to be a strategy to avoid infection.
# SS Mercer Victory

SS Mercer Victory was a Boulder Victory-class cargo ship built for World War II. Mercer Victory, a Victory ship, was launched 14 March 1945 by Permanente Metals Corporation, Richmond, California and operated by the States Marine Line. At the ceremonial ship launching, Mercer University President Spright Dowell said the SS Mercer Victory should strive: “to do her full-part for the national defense” and “to study a plan for after war conditions and needs.”

## World War II

The SS Mercer Victory had the dangerous job of delivering goods for troops in the Pacific War during World War II. On SS Mercer Victory loaded with 6,000 pounds of goods and traveled to Okinawa for the Battle of Okinawa from 1 April until 22 June 1945.. Simmons Victory loaded up on supplies to prepare for the Operation Downfall the Invasion of Japan.
After the war she was laid up Wilmington, California in a reserve in 1946 and operated by Luckenbach Steamship Co. Inc.

## War Relief and Seacowboys

In 1946 after World War II the Mercer Victory was converted to a livestock ship, also called a cowboy ship. From 1945 to 1947 the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration and the Brethren Service Committee of the Church of the Brethren sent livestock to war-torn countries. These "seagoing cowboys" made about 360 trips on 73 different ships. The Heifers for Relief project was started by the Church of the Brethren in 1942; in 1953 this became Heifer International. The SS Mercer Victory was one of these ships, known as cowboy ships, as she moved livestock across the Atlantic Ocean. In two trip she took 780 horses, several thousand baby chicks and hay bales to Poland on each trip. Mercer Victory moved horses, heifers, and mules as well as a some chicks, rabbits, and goats. In 1948 with her war and relief work done she was laid up in the Wilmington, North Carolina as part of the National Defense Reserve Fleet.

## Post-war

In 1966 she was set to be reactivated for Vietnam War, but the order was cancelled 1 February 1966. In 1973 she was laid up Suisun Bay in the National Defense Reserve Fleet. In 1988 she was scrapped at Kaohsiung, Taiwan.

## USNS Havenford

USNS Havenford (T-AG-179) was one of 12 ships scheduled to be acquired by the United States Navy in February 1966 and converted into Forward Depot Ships and placed into service with the Military Sea Transport Service, The Mercer Victory (MCV-591) was chosen for this conversion and assigned the name Havenford but the program was canceled and the ships were not acquired by the Navy.

## Honors

Crew of Naval Armed Guard on the SS Logan Victory' earned "Battle Stars" in World War II for war action during the assault occupation of Okinawa from 8 June 1945 to 20 June 1945. She used her deck guns to defend herself and other ship in action.
# Kinross Junction railway station

Kinross Junction railway station served the burgh of Kinross, Perth and Kinross, Scotland from 1860 to 1970 on the Fife and Kinross Railway.

## History

The first station opened as Kinross on 20 August 1858 by the North British Railway. It closed in 1860 but a second station opened in the same year as Hopefield. It was renamed Kinross Junction on 1 October 1871 when the Devon Valley Railway opened. It was closed and resited 200 yards north in 1890. The signal box was to the south. It replaced the north signal box, which was burned down in the 1890s. The station closed on 5 January 1970.
# Pelvic lift

Pelvic lift (also known as pelvic tilt) is an exercise to strengthen the lower back, glute muscles, lower abdominal muscles, and maintain hip muscle balance. It does not require weights, although they can be placed on the stomach.

## Steps

There are four steps in the exercise.
* The person lies on their back with knees bent
* They slowly raise their buttocks and pelvis off the floor as high as possible
* Hold position
* Repeat

## Benefits

The pelvic floor is a "broad sling of muscles, ligaments and sheet-like tissues that stretch from your pubic bone at the front of your body, to the base of your spine at the back".
The pelvic floor is resistant to stretch and weight as it bounces back. However, after carrying weight for long periods of time, it can become stretched. Additionally, weight on the pelvic floor can weaken its resistance and contribute to its loss of shape over time.
Performing this exercise routinely can strengthen glutes, abs, and lower back muscles. As a result, doctors may recommend pelvic lifts to reduce lower back pain, improve posture, and improve bladder control.
# Samuel Ferguson's cottage

31°31′27″S 116°25′21″E﻿ / ﻿31.5243°S 116.4224°E﻿ / -31.5243; 116.4224 Sam Ferguson's cottage was built in the latter part of the 1800s on lot R12 in the original town of Toodyay, now known as West Toodyay, Western Australia. Its walls were whitewashed and its roof was thatched. Roses, almond trees and a flurry of old English flowers produced such a wonderful display that artists from all around flocked to paint it. The cottage was the home of Samuel Ferguson and his wife Ellen. It was situated on what was originally Toodyay town lot R12 on the west corner of River Terrace (now Toodyay West Road) and what is now called Cottage St. On the opposite corner stood the old buildings of John Herbert's Royal Oak inn.
Lot R12 was first granted to George Gooch on 15 March 1852. Earlier, he had found work as a shepherd at Mokine, near Northam, before taking up a pastoral lease with his brother John in the Toodyay district. Two sons, George Joseph and Robert John, were born to George and his wife Eleanor née York.$^{:1223–1224}$ Gooch was a man who actively took part in the local affairs of Toodyay. He died in 1861 at the age of 41 years. His wife remarried in 1864, after which all properties were sold.$^{:141}$
The property of lot R12 was then purchased by John Davis, brother of Charlotte Davis. At the time of his marriage to Jane Thorpe in 1853, he was working as a sawyer. After suffering the loss of part of a leg in an accident he became known as "Peg Leg", the one legged wagoner.$^{:781}$ His sister, Charlotte Davis, wife of John Herbert, lived across the road at the Royal Oak. After the loss of his publican's license, Herbert also earned his living as a wagoner. Davis was granted lots R6, R7 and R8 in 1867. He later took up farming in the Toodyay district.$^{:141}$
After their marriage in 21 November 1894, the cottage became the home of Samuel Thomas Ferguson and his wife Ellen, daughter of Thomas and Rose Cook. Ellen was 22 years of age at the time of their marriage. Samuel Ferguson was the son of Alexander James and Sarah Ferguson and the grandson of Thomas and Jane Ferguson, who had arrived in the colony on 1 February 1831. His grandfather established a 621-acre (251 ha) property in Toodyay, which he named "Rose Valley". Samuel Thomas Ferguson was born in Toodyay on 30 April 1871. His marriage to Ellen produced eight children. In addition they fostered twelve year old Sybil Donegan, daughter of George and Ada Donegan, after Ada died.$^{:1037}$
Ellen Ferguson died in 1938 after a short illness. She was aged 66 years. Her funeral was held in St Stephen's Anglican Church, Toodyay, followed by interment in the Anglican portion of the Toodyay Cemetery. Samuel Thomas Ferguson died on 29 July 1948, aged 77 years.
# John Douglas Sandford

John Douglas Sandford (3 August 1832 – 26 May 1892) was an English first-class cricketer and a judicial official in the Indian Civil Service.

## Biography

The son of future Archdeacon of Coventry John Sandford, he was born in August 1832 at Chillingham, Northumberland. He was educated at Rugby School, before going up to Trinity College, Oxford. While studying at Oxford, he made two appearances in first-class cricket for Oxford University against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) in 1855 and 1856.
After graduating from Oxford, Sandford joined the Indian Civil Service in 1856, where he served in the North-Western Provinces and rose up the judicial system in British India to become the judicial commissioner of Burma and Mysore. He returned to England in 1868, where became a student of the Inner Temple at the age of 36, and was called to the bar in June 1870. The year following his return to England, and thirteen years after his previous appearance in first-class cricket, Sandford played a first-class match for the MCC against Oxford University at Oxford. After being called to the bar, he returned to British India where he practiced as a barrister until his departure in 1882. He retired two years later in 1884. Sandford died in May 1892 at Windsor, Berkshire.
Born into and ecclesiastical family, his younger brother, Ernest, was the Archdeacon of Exeter (in addition to being a first-class cricketer), and his elder brother, Charles, who was the Bishop of Gibraltar. His grandfather, Daniel Sandford, was the Bishop of Edinburgh. His nephew, Temple Sandford, was also a first-class cricketer.
# Conviction (Patterson novel)

Conviction is a novel published in 2004 by Richard North Patterson. The novel centers on the debate surrounding capital punishment.

## Plot summary

As described by Sherryl Connelly of the New York Daily News,
   When activist lawyer Teresa Paget takes on Rennell Price's case, his execution date is only 59 days off. Price and his older brother, both crack dealers, were found guilty of murdering 9-year-old Thuy Sey. She choked to death on semen before her body was dumped in the San Francisco Bay.
   The horrific crime is 15 years in the past, and the tony law firm that laggardly pursued Rennell's appeals pro bono has dropped the case as hopeless. Teresa quickly determines his original lawyer, a cocaine addict, was criminally ineffectual (he has since been disbarred). She even extracts a deathbed confession from his brother, Payton, who admits his brother was asleep when another man murdered the child in their living room. She also puts together a convincing argument that Rennell is, in fact, retarded.

## Critical reception

Sherryl Connelly of the New York Daily News said that "Patterson too fully explores the political climate that predisposes judges against defendants in death penalty appeals" and that he "wallows in the legal complexities".
