# Abigail Thomas

Abigail Thomas (born 1941) is an American novelist, poet, and memoirist.

## Early life

Born in Boston in 1941, Abigail Thomas is the daughter of Lewis Thomas, an essayist, poet, physician and scientist, and Beryl Dawson. Thomas is one of three sisters. The family moved at two-year intervals to follow Dr. Thomas's career, which led to Thomas attending 11 schools by the 10th grade.
Thomas married at 18 and became pregnant, resulting in her expulsion from Bryn Mawr College in 1959, when she was told by the dean that "her education was obviously over." Thomas had three children by the age of 23. Thomas worked as a secretary and a real estate agent. Eight years into her first marriage, she and her children moved in with her parents in New York. Thomas was 27 when she married her second husband, a physicist 11 years her senior, with whom she had one child. An accidental injury to her husband resulted in his increasing mental disability, and they divorced in 1977. Thomas became a literary agent at Viking Press, working in that capacity until 1992.

## Author

Although she had written poetry before, Thomas did not seriously write prose until the age of 48. Her short stories have been published in magazines, including The Missouri Review, Columbia (Columbia University), Paris Review, O, The Oprah Magazine, and Glimmer Train. Newspapers, including the New York Times and the Washington Post have published essays by Thomas. Her early books were written for children. Later books by Thomas focus on accounts of and observations on her life and those around her, with reviewers noting her focus on memoir in a series of vignettes. Safekeeping describes events from her life, including the accident and subsequent disability that befell her husband, and her meditations on those events. A Three Dog Life examines their life together in greater detail.
Thomas's awards include the William Peden Prize for fiction. Her book A Three Dog Life was chosen by both the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times as one of the best books of 2006. She has taught writing at New School University and Queens University.

## Personal life

Thomas married her third husband, Richard Rogin in 1988.
Daughter Catherine Luttinger is an author.
Thomas lives in Woodstock, New York.

# Expedition of Hamza ibn Abd al-Muttalib

Expedition of Hamza ibn 'Abdul-Muttalib (Arabic: سرية حمزة بن عبد المطلب), also known as Sīf Al-Baḥr platoon (Arabic: سرية سِيفُ البَحْرِ), was the first expedition sent out by the Islamic prophet Muhammad. It was sent in 1 AH of the Islamic calendar in the month of Ramadan (March 623 CE).
The raid, which was to intercept a caravan that belonged to Quraish, was undertaken by the Muhajirun (Muslim exiles in Medina) alone (none of the Ansar, Helpers of Madinah, participated in it).

## Description

The raid was ordered by Muhammad seven to nine months after the Hijrah. It was led by Hamza ibn 'Abdul-Muttalib (Muhammad's uncle) and comprising 30 to 40 men with a definite task of intercepting a caravan that belonged to Quraish. ‘Amr ibn Hishām (Abu Jahl), the leader of the caravan was camping at al-‘Is with 300 Meccan riders.
The two parties encountered each other, aligned and stood face to face in preparation for battle but Majdi ibn ‘Amr al-Juhani, a Quraysh who was friendly to both the parties intervened between them; so both parties separated without fighting. Hamza returned to Medina and Abu Jahl proceeded towards Mecca.
On that occasion, Muhammad accredited the first flag of Islam. Kinaz ibn Husain Al-Ghanawi was given the task of carrying it, and it was white in color.

## Location

The event took place on the seashore in the neighborhood of aI-‘Īṣ (العيص), in the territory of Banū Juhayna, between Mecca and Medina.
# Secondary mortgage market

The secondary mortgage market is the market for the sale of securities or bonds collateralized by the value of mortgage loans. A mortgage lender, commercial bank, or specialized firm will group together many loans (from the "primary mortgage market") and sell grouped loans known as collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) or mortgage-backed securities (MBS) to investors such as pension funds, insurance companies and hedge funds. Mortgage-backed securities were often combined into collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), which may include other types of debt obligations such as corporate loans.
The secondary mortgage market was intended to provide a new source of capital for the market when the traditional source in one market—such as a Savings and loan association (S&L) or "thrift" in the United States—was unable to. It also was hoped to be more efficient than the old localized market for funds which might have a shortage or surplus depending on the location. In theory, the risk of default on individual loans was greatly reduced by this aggregation process, such that even high-risk individual loans could be treated as part of an AAA-risk (safest possible) investment.
On the other hand, mortgage securitization undid "the connection between borrowers and lenders", such that mortgage originators no longer had a direct incentive to make sure the borrower could pay the loan. While historically in the US, fewer than 2% of people lost their homes to foreclosure; rates were far higher during the Subprime mortgage crisis. Delinquencies, defaults, and decreased real estate values could make CDOs difficult to evaluate. This happened to BNP Paribas in August, 2007, causing the central banks to intervene with liquidity.
# Glycoprotein 130

Glycoprotein 130 (also known as gp130, IL6ST, IL6R-beta or CD130) is a transmembrane protein which is the founding member of the class of tall cytokine receptors. It forms one subunit of the type I cytokine receptor within the IL-6 receptor family. It is often referred to as the common gp130 subunit, and is important for signal transduction following cytokine engagement. As with other type I cytokine receptors, gp130 possesses a WSXWS amino acid motif that ensures correct protein folding and ligand binding. It interacts with Janus kinases to elicit an intracellular signal following receptor interaction with its ligand. Structurally, gp130 is composed of five fibronectin type-III domains and one immunoglobulin-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain in its extracellular portion.

## Characteristics

The members of the IL-6 receptor family are all complex with gp130 for signal transduction. For example, IL-6 binds to the IL-6 Receptor. The complex of these two proteins then associates with gp130. This complex of 3 proteins then homodimerizes to form a hexameric complex which can produce downstream signals. There are many other proteins which associate with gp130, such as cardiotrophin 1 (CT-1), leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), oncostatin M (OSM), and IL-11. There are also several other proteins which have structural similarity to gp130 and contain the WSXWS motif and preserved cysteine residues. Members of this group include LIF-R, OSM-R, and G-CSF-R.

## Loss of gp130

gp130 is an important part of many different types of signaling complexes. Inactivation of gp130 is lethal to mice. Homozygous mice who are born show a number of defects including impaired development of the ventricular myocardium. Haematopoietic effects included reduced numbers of stem cells in the spleen and liver.

## Signal transduction

gp130 has no intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. Instead, it is phosphorylated on tyrosine residues after complexing with other proteins. The phosphorylation leads to association with JAK/Tyk tyrosine kinases and STAT protein transcription factors. In particular, STAT-3 is activated which leads to the activation of many downstream genes. Other pathways activated include RAS and MAPK signaling.

## Interactions

Glycoprotein 130 has been shown to interact with:
* Grb2,
* HER2/neu,
* Janus kinase 1
* Leukemia inhibitory factor receptor,
* PTPN11,
* SHC1,
* SOCS3, and
* TLE1.
# DeLorean Alpha5

The DeLorean Alpha5 is a concept battery electric sports car designed by Italdesign Giugiaro for the American DeLorean Motor Company. It will go from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) in 2.99 seconds, 0 to 88 mph (0 to 142 km/h) in an estimated 4.35 seconds and have a projected top speed of 155 mph (249 km/h).

## Overview

The Alpha5 was revealed on May 29, 2022.
The Alpha5 harkens back to its predecessor with its louvered rear window and gullwing doors. It is designed by Italdesign. It offers a full-width light strip on the back, and the DeLorean logo is also illuminated. While no DeLorean factory has been publicly announced, the company did state that only 9,531 of the Alpha5 could be made, just one more than DMC built of the original DeLorean however in March 2023, the production estimated was reduced by half to about 4,000 units. CNET estimates a price around $125,000, however the company did not announce any price indication. The first concept car was revealed on August 29, 2022. at Pebble Beach, CA during Car Week.

Founded in 1893 as an educational institute for monks, by King Chulalongkorn in remembrance of his late father King Mongkut. The Thai government granted the university a status of public university in 1997, integrating MBU into the Thai higher education system.

## Colleges and faculties

Mahamakut Buddhist University is composed of four academic faculties: Religion and Philosophy Faculty, Humanities Faculty, Social Sciences Faculty, and Education Faculty. In addition, the university also offer a teachers' training program as well as various academic services to the public.
The university began offering master's degree programs in 1987. The Ph.D. program of Buddhist Studies was established in 2005.
# Cat theory (Deng Xiaoping)

The cat theory (simplified Chinese: 猫论; traditional Chinese: 貓論) of Deng Xiaoping, the paramount leader of China between 1978 and 1989, is a pragmatic economic philosophy which can be summarized by "it doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice (不管黑猫白猫，能捉到老鼠就是好猫)". Deng argued that, planned economy or market economy is only a tool for distributing resources and has nothing to do with political institution, in other words socialism can have market and capitalism can have planning. The cat theory became widely known within the Chinese society after Deng Xiaoping's southern tour in 1992, and was an underlying ideology guiding the reform and opening of China.

## History
### Initial proposal

In 1962, Deng Xiaoping, then Vice Premier of China, quoted a Chinese proverb "it doesn't matter if a cat is black or yellow, as long as it catches mice" as an endorsement for the economic reform policy "sanzi yibao (三自一包, "Three selfs, one contract", household plots, rural free markets, self-financing and fixed output quota)". The reform was initiated after the disastrous Great Leap Forward which caused the Great Chinese Famine, while the proverb's origin can be traced back to Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio by Pu Songling in Qing dynasty. On July 7, 1962, Deng elaborated further in an article, "How to recover agricultural production (怎样恢复农业生产)", that:
   Comrade Liu Bocheng often quotes a proverb from Sichuan, "yellow cat or black cat, as long as it catches mice it is a good cat". That means, the reason why we could defeat Chiang Kai-shek was that we did not follow the old rule or old pattern, but adapting to the specific scenarios. Similarly, in order to recover agricultural production now, we need to adapt to different situations instead of adhering to one fixed pattern in the relations of production. We need to use whatever method that can raise people's enthusiasm.
However, during the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976), the cat theory became one of Deng's "crimes", and he was purged twice by Mao Zedong during the Cultural Revolution.

### Revival and development

The cat theory was revived after Deng Xiaoping became the paramount leader of China in December 1978, when he and his allies launched the "Reform and Opening" of China. After the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989, the reform and opening program went into stagnation, and there were fears and concerns within the Chinese Communist Party that further reforms may turn China into a capitalist country. As response, when visiting Shanghai in 1991, Deng stated that "reform and opening up includes taking over the useful things of capitalism." Eventually, after Deng Xiaoping's southern tour in 1992, the reform and opening program was resumed, and the cat theory became widely known in China and was accepted as the philosophy of economic reforms, but the "yellow cat" in the popular version of the phrase somehow became "white cat".
# Baphia abyssinica

Baphia abyssinica is a species of flowering tree in the family Fabaceae. It is found in western Ethiopia and Sudan. It is threatened by habitat loss, categorized as "vulnerable".
In Ethiopia, the Amharic and Shakacho language name for the tree is shifu. In the Majang language it is known as duwe. Twigs from this tree are used for brushing teeth and fighting tooth infections. The wood is hard and is used for tools, such as for mallets. It is also used for house construction.
# Carpet (card game)

The Carpet is a patience or solitaire game where the object is to discard all cards to the foundations where the aces are already dealt. It is a simple game relatively easy to get out more often than not.

## Rules

The game starts with the aces separated from the pack to form the foundations. After the remaining 48 cards are shuffled, 20 cards are laid out on the tableau in a 5x4 grid fashion to form "the carpet". The remaining 28 cards make up the stock or talon.
All cards from "the carpet" must be moved to the foundations up by suit (i.e. 2♠ over A♠). Any "holes on the carpet", i.e. spaces left behind by the cards that are moved to the foundations, are filled by cards from the waste pile or, if the waste pile is empty, the talon.
The talon cards are dealt one at the time on the waste pile and can be moved to the foundations or to the carpet if necessary. Once the talon is used up, all cards on the waste pile cannot be used as a new talon. Only the top card of the waste pile is available to be played.Similar mechanics and concepts can be found in other solitaire games such as Klondike, where tableau management and strategic card movement play a vital role.
The game is out when all of the cards are moved into the foundations.

## Strategy

Good strategy aims to fill empty spaces with cards that can soon be played, if possible building up in the carpet chains of cards that can be played consecutively, while leaving higher & lower ranking Cards in the discard pile until later in the game.

## Variations

Under some rules (e.g. Basil Dalton's The Complete Patience Book), the Aces remain in the pack at the start of the game and only are played to the foundations when they are appear during regular play.
Colorado and Twenty (sometimes called Sly Fox) are among several games that work similar to Carpet, but use two packs.
Four Winds is a lesser known game in the style of Carpet, and has a set-up consisting of 16 tableau piles in the shape of the four directions of a compass.
# Council of State (Ottoman Empire)

The Council of State (Ottoman Turkish: Şûrâ-yı Devlet, شوراى دولت) was the high legislative institution in the Ottoman Empire that corresponds to the present-day Council of State of Turkey. It served between the years 1868 and 1922.

## Early formation

The foundations of Şûrâ-yı Devlet can be traced back to the Supreme Council of Judicial Ordinances, established by Sultan Mahmud II in 1837. This court laid the groundwork for the current Council of State and the Court of Cassation (Yargıtay). In 1839, with the Edict of Gülhane, the Ottoman people were promised the guarantee of their natural rights, such as life, property, honor, and dignity, regardless of religion or sect. This marked the establishment of the principles of a new legal state, emphasizing the necessity for the administration (state) to adhere to legal rules.

## Division

In 1868, during the reign of Sultan Abdulaziz, the Supreme Council of Judicial Ordinances was divided into two institutions: Şûrâ-yı Devlet, responsible in name and function of a Council of State, and the Council of Judicial Regulations [Divan-ı Ahkâmı Adliye], which performed the functions of the Court of Cassation. This separation led to the distinction between the judiciary and the legislature. The Council of State was assigned two roles: preparing draft laws and resolving administrative disputes. Council of Judicial Regulations, on the other hand, was solely responsible for the judicial function.

## Inauguration

In a speech on May 10, 1868, Sultan Abdulaziz officially inaugurated the working of the Council of State. Its duties included examining and organizing regulations and ordinances, examining public interests, overseeing the government and individuals' activities related to the state's affairs, and implementing judicial proceedings. However, with the enactment of the 1876 Ottoman Constitution, the jurisdiction of the Council of State became significantly limited as the resolution of "disputes between the government and individuals" was transferred to general courts.

## Closure

After serving for 54 years during the Ottoman period, the Council of State came to an end on November 4, 1922, when all central institutions in Istanbul were transferred to the administration of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM). The Council of State of the Turkish Republic (Danıştay) was established by Law No. 669 and began its operations on July 6, 1927.
