# Yersiniaceae

The Yersiniaceae are a family of Gram-negative bacteria that includes some familiar pathogens. For example, the type genus Yersinia includes Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague. This family is a member of the order Enterobacterales in the class Gammaproteobacteria of the phylum Pseudomonadota.
The name Yersiniaceae is derived from the Latin term Yersinia, referring the type genus of the family and the suffix "-aceae", an ending used to denote a family. Together, Yersiniaceae refers to a family whose nomenclatural type is the genus Yersinia.

## Biochemical characteristics and molecular signatures

These bacteria are motile, catalase-positive, and do not produce hydrogen disulfide.
Analyses of genome sequences from Yersiniaceae species identified three conserved signature indels (CSIs) that are uniquely present in this family in the proteins TetR family transcriptional regulator and a hypothetical protein. These CSIs provide a reliable molecular method for distinguishing members of this family from other families within the order Enterobacterales and all other bacteria.

## Historical systematics and current taxonomy

Yersiniaceae, as of 2021, contains eight validly published genera. Members of this family were originally members of the family Enterobacteriaceae, a large phylogenetically unrelated group of species with distinct biochemical characteristics and different ecological niches. The original assignment of species into the family Enterobacteriaceae was largely based on 16S rRNA genome sequence analyses, which is known to have low discriminatory power and the results of which changes depends on the algorithm and organism information used. Despite this, the analyses still exhibited polyphyletic branching, indicating the presence of distinct subgroups within the family.
In 2016, Adeolu et al. proposed the division of Enterobacteriaceae into 7 novel families based on comparative genomic analyses and the branching pattern of various phylogenetic trees constructed from conserved genome sequences, 16S rRNA sequences and multilocus sequence analyses. Molecular markers, specifically conserved signature indels, specific to this family were also identified as evidence supporting the division independent of phylogenetic trees.

# Frank Selvag

Frank Robert Selvag (born May 12, 1989) is a Norwegian bowling player living in the city Trondheim and have played for Trønderstrike Bowlingklubb since 2018.
He started his bowling career when he was 14 years old in the small city Orkanger just an hour south of Trondheim. In 2006 he went from Orkla Bowlingklubb to Trondheim Bowlingklubb but changed back to his farmer club 3 years later.
In the middle of the 2011/12 season he went for a shocking transfer to the rival club Munken Bowlingklubb and in the summer of 2018 he moved on to Trønderstrike Bowlingklubb.
He didn't play much during the 2013/14 season when his club became national champions and national league winners but he qualified to get medals. The season before and after he achieved silver medals with his club in the national league.
In September 2015 he got injury in his left knee but it wasn't until March next year the doctors found out his ligament was 60% ripped off. He took a risk playing Malta Open Championship 3 months later despite the doctor told him not to. In late September 2016 he tried to bowl again but after just 1 game he decided to take it slower in rebuilding himself.
Late 2019 he broke his thumb and were forced to switch to 2-handed style.
He has played tournaments all around Europe since 2013 in countries like Romania, Czech Republic, Malta and more.

# Iron Acton railway station

vteThornbury Branch Line :
Legend :
Iron Acton station opened on 2 September 1872, with the start of services on the Midland Railway branch from Yate to Thornbury. The station was designed by the Midland Railway company architect John Holloway Sanders.
It closed to passenger services on 19 June 1944.
The station served Iron Acton village and was sited to the south west of it. It consisted of a single platform face and a large wooden station building. A freight-only branch serving an iron mine in Frampton Cotterell connected at the station. This closed in 1872 and a truncated section of this route served as a coal depot until closure on 10 June 1963.
The station was demolished in the 1960s. The part-remains of the platform survive, as does a crossing-keeper's cottage to the south of the station site. In mid 2013, the line beyond Yate Middle Jn was placed 'Out of Use', due to the mothballing of the quarry at Tytherington. However the line has since reopened with the resumption of quarry traffic.

# Scott Crow

Scott Crow (born 18 December 1973) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Hawthorn and Collingwood in the Australian Football League (AFL).
An on-baller from Port Fairy, Crow was the 44th pick of the 1990 AFL Draft. He had to wait until the 1993 AFL season to make his senior debut for Hawthorn and he was never a regular fixture in the team.
After his three seasons at Hawthorn, Crow was traded to Collingwood, along with Alex McDonald, for the 54th selection in the 1995 AFL Draft.
Crow appeared in all 22 rounds of the 1996 AFL season, averaging 20 disposals a game. He also took 113 marks, the most by a Collingwood player that year. By 1999 he was only able to make it into the side for five games and was delisted.

# Jacob B. Grumet

Jacob B. Grumet (October 31, 1900 – June 7, 1987) was an American lawyer and judge. He was chairman of the New York State Commission of Investigation.

## Biography

Born in Manhattan in 1900, Grumet graduated from DeWitt Clinton High School in 1918, City College in 1922 and the Columbia Law School in 1924, where he edited The Law Review.
From 1931 to 1935, he was an assistant United States Attorney in the Southern District of New York. From 1935 to 1947, he worked under Thomas E. Dewey and District Attorney Frank S. Hogan. He assisted in the prosecution of such notorious gangsters as Waxey Gordon and Louis (Lepke) Buchalter. In 1942 he was appointed Chief of the Homicide Bureau in the New York County District Attorney's Office. He resigned in 1948 to go into private practice.
He was appointed the 17th Fire Commissioner of the City of New York by Mayor Vincent R. Impellitteri on July 18, 1951, and served in that position until the end of the Impellitteri Administration on December 31, 1953.
Appointed Chairman of the State Commission of Investigation by Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller in 1960, Grumet led an inquiry into charges of corruption in New York City that helped usher in the mayoral election year of 1961, in which Robert F. Wagner was re-elected.
Grumet, a Republican, left the panel in 1968 to become a State Supreme Court Justice. He returned in 1976 to head an inquiry into a charge by a former special prosecutor, Maurice H. Nadjari, that Governor Hugh L. Carey had tried to dismiss him because he had been investigating high-level Democrats. The charge was dismissed for lack of evidence.
Grumet died on June 7, 1987, at Beth Israel Hospital in Manhattan at the age of 86.

# Jacob Appel (painter)

Jacob Appel (1680–1751) was a Dutch painter active in the 18th century. He was born in Amsterdam in 1680. After studying under Timotheus de Graaf in the years 1690–1692, he was instructed in landscape painting by David Van der Plaas. According to Descamps, he at first imitated the works of Tempesta, but later changed his style, and adopted that of Albert Meijeringh. He painted both landscapes and portraits. He died in 1751 at Amsterdam. He is well known as painter of the famous Petronella Oortman's Dollhouse.
