# Yachting Association of Sri Lanka

Yachting Association of Sri Lanka (YASL) is recognised by the International Sailing Federation as the governing body for the sport of sailing in Sri Lanka.

## Clubs

* Royal Colombo Yacht Club
* Ceylon Motor Yacht Club
* Dehaweela Sailing Club (closed 1973)
* Sri Lanka Navy Sailing Club
* Bentota Windsurfing Club
* Ruhunu Sailing Association (established 2006)

The Royal Colombo Yacht Club (RCYC) was formerly known as 'Colombo Sailing Club'. In 1898 the club received a royal charter and was renamed to the Royal Colombo Yacht Club. In the 1980s the club had to leave its club house at Colombo Harbour to accommodate the expansion of the port and for security reasons. The club then shared facilities with the Ceylon Motor Yacht Club at Bolgoda Lake, Moratuwa. In 2005 a new clubhouse was constructed on the beach at Mt. Lavinia, adjacent to the Lifesaving Association's building.
The Ceylon Motor Yacht Club (CMYC) was established in 1929 and has operated from its current location on the shores of Lake Bolgoda since 1936.

## Events

* Sailing Nationals
* South Asian Yachting Regatta (formerly Tri-nation Regatta)
* Colombo to Galle Regatta
* Royal Thomian Optimist Sailing Regatta
* 2006 Enterprise World Championship
* 2011 GP14 World Championship
* 2012 IODA Optimist Asian Championship
The YASL has seen its activity much reduced during the past three decades owing to the civil war in the island. Even so, the YASL manages to organize regattas regularly, like the Janashanthi Sailing Nationals. In July 2004 the Yachting Association of Sri Lanka revived the Tri-nation Regatta, in which yachts from India and Pakistan compete with local yachts. The Sailing Nationals are generally held in January and contested by four different dinghy classes: Enterprise; GP14; Optimist and Laser, together with windsurfers.
The YASL has a sailing school and a small Optimist fleet.

# Hans Heinrich Bürmann

Hans Heinrich Bürmann (died 21 June 1817, in Mannheim) was a German mathematician and teacher. He ran an "academy of commerce" in Mannheim since 1795 where he used to teach mathematics. He also served as a censor in Mannheim. He was nominated Headmaster of the Commerce Academy of the Grand Duchy of Baden in 1811. He did scientific research in the area of combinatorics and he contributed to the development of the symbolic language of mathematics. He discovered the generalized form of the Lagrange inversion theorem. He corresponded and published with Joseph Louis Lagrange and Carl Hindenburg.

## Iterate function composition notation

The compositional notation $f^{n}$ for the $n$-th iterate $f^{n}:=f\circ f^{n-1}=\overbrace {f\circ f\circ \dotsb \circ f} ^{n{\text{ times}}}$ of function $f$ was originally introduced by Bürmann and later independently suggested by John Frederick William Herschel in 1813.

# RGS14

Regulator of G-protein signaling 14 (RGS14) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RGS14 gene.

## Function

RGS14 is a member of the regulator of G protein signalling family. This protein contains one RGS domain, two Raf-like Ras-binding domains (RBDs), and one GoLoco motif. The protein attenuates the signaling activity of G-proteins by binding, through its GoLoco domain, to specific types of activated, GTP-bound G alpha subunits. Acting as a GTPase activating protein (GAP), the protein increases the rate of conversion of the GTP to GDP. This hydrolysis allows the G alpha subunits to bind G beta/gamma subunit heterodimers, forming inactive G-protein heterotrimers, thereby terminating the signal. Alternate transcriptional splice variants of this gene have been observed but have not been thoroughly characterized.
Increasing the expression of the RGS14 protein in the V2 secondary visual cortex of mice promotes the conversion of short-term to long-term object-recognition memory. Conversely RGS14 is enriched in CA2 pyramidal neurons and suppresses synaptic plasticity of these synapses and hippocampal-based learning and memory.

## Interactions

RGS14 has been shown to interact with:
* GNAI1 and
* GNAI3.

# Inkblazers

Inkblazers.com (formerly MangaMagazine.net) was an international comic platform helping to monetize webcomics and manga. The company had offices in Boston, Massachusetts and Bangkok, Thailand. It was founded in 2011 by Victor Chu and Bancha Dhammarungruang, and received $1 million in seed funding. Inkblazers.com supported artists via paid subscription, merchandise sales, and ads sales. It also offered free online comic and manga hosting without requiring artists to give up rights to their works.
In an interview, co-founder Victor Chu said that the company aimed to provide the technology behind online comics publishing, in terms of hosting, promotion of great titles, monthly sponsorship and print on demand book publishing. The company was more a service provider to independent artists and this sets them apart from other e-comics initiatives.

## Crowdsourcing

Inkblazers.com took a crowdsourcing approach to publishing. Key benefits of crowdsourcing drove the company's decisions included:
1. Fan support for authors. 2. Data backing up decisions on marketing and content rights acquisition. 3. More sales resulting from content aggregation.
Furthermore, the website created an environment in which authors and member contributors can interact and share advice as well as an area in which project collaborations become possible.
Inkblazers shut down on February 1, 2015, as the creators could no longer financially support the continuation of the site, causing many members to search for another webcomic site.

# Quos ego

Quos ego (Latin, literally 'Whom I') are the words, in Virgil's Aeneid (I, 135), uttered by Neptune, the Roman god of the Sea, in threat to the disobedient and rebellious winds. Virgil's phrase is an example of the figure of speech called aposiopesis.
Neptune is angry with the winds, whom Juno released to start a storm and harass the Trojan hero and protagonist Aeneas. Neptune berates the winds for causing a storm without his approval, but breaks himself off mid-threat:
   Iam caelum terramque meō sine nūmine, ventī,
   miscēre et tantās audētis tollere mōlēs?
   quōs ego— sed mōtōs praestat compōnere flūctūs.
   Now, winds, you dare to embroil the sky and the earth without my approval,
   and raise up such a mass?
   You whom I— But it is better to settle the agitated waves.

## Cultural references

Gustave Flaubert likens a teacher's rebuke of misbehaving students to "the Quos ego" in the opening scene of Madame Bovary.
Depictions in art of Neptune threatening the winds include the engraving by Marcantonio Raimondi and paintings by Peter Paul Rubens and Simone Cantarini.

From 1881-1884, he studied with Christian Griepenkerl at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna, then with Władysław Łuszczkiewicz at the Kraków Academy of Fine Arts. Next, he attended the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich from 1890-1891 and, finally, the Académie Colarossi in Paris. In 1897, he was a member of the Vienna Secession.
His first job was teaching at the Ceramics Industry School (Szkole Przemysłu Ceramicznego) in Kołomyja, then he took a position at a private drawing school operated by Marceli Harasimowicz in Lwów. In 1909, he returned to Kraków to become an assistant at the Art Academy. He was promoted to Professor upon the death of Stanisław Wyspiański.
During this period, he also taught an occasional class at the School of Fine Arts for Women (Szkole Sztuk Pięknych dla Kobiet). In 1923, he became a Full Member of the Academy by authority of Maciej Rataj, President of Poland. Later that same year, in poor health, Dębicki chose to retire.
He would often make painting excursions into the countryside, where he captured scenes from the lives of the local Hutsuls and Galician Jews. Although he worked in almost every artistic medium, he produced relatively few paintings, compared to most artists, and made little effort to exhibit or promote himself. It was once said that he was the only one who didn't appreciate his work.
