# Podolinella

Podolinella is a genus of proturans in the family Acerentomidae.

## Species

* Podolinella podolica Szeptycki, 1995
# Fertabacteria

Fertabacteria is a candidate bacterial phylum of the Candidate Phyla Radiation, first proposed in 2017 after analysis of a genome from the mouth of a bottlenose dolphin. Members of this phylum are predicted to have been widely under-detected in 16S rRNA gene-based surveys of community composition due to mismatches between commonly used primers and the corresponding primer site. Fertabacteria have been retroactively detected in a variety of environments.

## Description

Fertabacteria is a bacterial phylum candidate status, meaning there are no cultured representatives from this phylum to date. It is a member of the Candidate Phyla Radiation and may be a sister phylum to Peregrinibacteria.

## History

The Fertabacteria phylum was first proposed in 2017 following the recovery and analysis of a genome from the mouth of a bottlenose dolphin. Members of this phylum are predicted to have been widely under-detected in 16S rRNA gene-based surveys of community composition due to mismatches between commonly used primers and the corresponding primer site, as has been observed for many other members of the Candidate Phyla Radiation. The name "Fertabacteria" was proposed in recognition of this characteristic, as "ferta" is Latin for "tricky".
Members of the Fertabacteria have been detected (retroactively) in a variety of environments, including the Caribbean coral Montastrea faveolata (FJ403053.1), the Guerrero Negro hypersaline microbial mat (JN443099.1), and the surface of marine macro-alga Ulva australis (DQ269036).

# Finguine Fota

Finguine Fota (died 689) or Finguine son of Eochaid was king of Cowal in modern-day Scotland, and a member of the Gaelic Cenél Comgaill kindred.

## Life

Finguine was the great-grandson of Conall mac Comgaill, and the father of Dargart mac Finguine, who was in turn the father of Bridei son of Der-Ilei and Naiton son of Der-Ilei, both 8th-century kings of Fortriu and of the Picts.
Finguine may after 671 have formed a three-way alliance with Bridei son of Beli, king of Pictish Fortriu, and Bridei's nephew Eugein, who was king of the British kingdom of Alt Clut. This coalition may have been behind the siege of Dunadd in 682, that saw Finguine eclipse Máel Dúin mac Conaill of Cenél nGabráin.
Finguine's death is reported in the Annals of Ulster. He was the last significant dynastic figure of Cenél Comgaill, though it remained prominent in Argyll politics over the following generation, probably because of the influence of Finguine's grandchildren as kings of Fortriu.

# Adolf Kosárek

Adolf Kosárek (6 January 1830, Herálec – 29 October 1859, Prague) was a Czech landscape painter in the Realist style.

## Biography

His parents were employed as servants by the Trauttmansdorff family. When he was three, his family moved to Chlumek, where his father became the administrator of a meierhof. From an early age, he displayed an interest in art, but his father wanted him to enter the civil service, so he sent him to learn clerking from a relative.
After completing his primary education, he worked as a clerk until his drawings were noticed by Archbishop Schwarzenberg, who arranged for him to take the entrance exams at the Academy of Fine Arts, Prague, and provided him with a small stipend. He was accepted and, after preliminary studies, entered the landscape painting classes taught by Max Haushofer. He held his first exhibition in 1853. Later, he took a study trip to the Bavarian Alps, financed with money from the sales of his paintings.
In 1855, he settled in the district of Prague known as Malá Strana and opened a studio. From then on, he had to support himself entirely from the sales of his paintings, usually for very low sums, which required him to paint quickly and constantly. Thanks to an unusually profitable sale, he was able to become engaged to his landlady's daughter, Františka; a seamstress. He also made a working visit to Rügen, on the Baltic, but it had to be cut short; due to what he called "homesickness".
At the age of twenty-eight, he was diagnosed with tuberculosis. A painting by Josef Mánes (Švadlenka) shows Františka when she learned of his illness, while sewing her wedding dress. They chose to marry, anyway, and he died shortly after the birth of their daughter. His friends and colleagues provided what assistance they could, but their plans for a large exhibition were never realized.

# Small nucleolar RNA SNORD15

In molecular biology, SNORD15 (also known as U15) is a non-coding RNA (ncRNA) molecule which functions in the modification of small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs, also a type of ncRNAs). This type of modifying RNA is usually located in the nucleolus of the eukaryotic cell which is a major site of snRNA biogenesis. It is known as a small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) and also often referred to as a guide RNA.
U15 belongs to the C/D box class of snoRNAs which contain the conserved sequence motifs known as the C box (UGAUGA) and the D box (CUGA). Most of the members of the box C/D family function in directing site-specific 2'-O-methylation of substrate RNAs. U15 is predicted to guide the 2'O-ribose methylation of 28S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) residue A3764.
In humans there are two closely related copies of the U15 snoRNA (called SNORD15A and SNORD15B). They are both encoded in the introns of the ribosomal protein S3. In Xenopus laevis it is located within the introns of ribosomal protein S1
snoR75 from Arabidopsis thaliana and homologues in rice Oryza sativa and other plants are alternatively known as U15, and, despite a significantly shorter sequence length, appear to be related.
# Stolen (Jay Sean song)

# AnnMarie Thomas

AnnMarie Thomas is a mechanical engineer, author, blogger, and advocate for early engineering education. She received her Bachelor of Science degree in Ocean Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2001) and went on to attain both an M.S. (2002) and Ph.D. (2006) in mechanical engineering from the California Institute of Technology. Additionally, she has her certification in Sustainable Design from Minneapolis College of Art and Design (2012). She is currently associate professor in the School of Engineering, the Schulze School of Entrepreneurship, and the Opus College of Business at the University of St. Thomas in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Her research interests include engineering pedagogy and education for PK-12 students, design for aging populations, as well as synthetic jet propulsion.
Thomas is the founder and director of the Playful Learning Lab at the University of St. Thomas, where she leads students in exercises to understand the “playful side of engineering.” She has also developed Squishy Circuits, an initiative to engage children in exploring electronics using play dough. This initiative outlines the process of making conducting and insulating dough and how to build circuits from these materials. Speaking of the project Thomas said, “It’s been really fun since we put them up where they have gone. We had a mom in Utah who used them with her kids, science researchers in the UK, curriculum developers in Hawaii. So I’d encourage you all to grab some play dough and start playing. We don’t usually think of our kitchen as an electronics lab and little kids as circuit designers, but maybe we should.” She describes engineering as a “fine art,” and maintains that a positive attitude toward the possibilities for women in engineering is essential in creating a greater gender balance in the field.
Thomas is the author of a book, Making Makers: Kids, Tools, and the Future of Innovation, published by Maker Media Press in 2014. She has presented at a number of conferences and through Ted talks on inspiring young scientists (with play and other kinds of making). On her blog AnnMarie Thomas- Making Makers she has written about the challenges she has faced as a woman and mother working in engineering.
