# Tianzhou 2

Tianzhou 2 (Chinese: 天舟二号) was a mission of the Tianzhou-class unmanned cargo spacecraft. The launch took place at 29 May 2021, 12:55:29 UTC. The spacecraft successfully docked with the Tiangong space station later on the same day.

## Mission profile

Tianzhou 2 is a part of the construction of the Tiangong space station, and is the first cargo resupply mission to the already launched Tianhe core module (CCM). The spacecraft remained docked to the aft docking port of Tianhe until the concurrent manned mission Shenzhou 12 deorbited in September, after which it was moved to the forward docking port. It will then conduct propellant transfer testing with Tianhe and serve as a test unit for Tianhe's robotic arm to manipulate modules as part of space station construction. It undocked on 27 March 2022, did a 2-hour fast rendezvous on 30 March 2022 and burned up in the Earth's atmosphere as planned on re-entry on 31 March 2022.
During its time in space, Tianzhou 2 conducted multiple teleoperated and autonomous rendezvous tests.

## Spacecraft

The Tianzhou cargo spacecraft has several notable differences with the Tiangong-1 from which it is derived. It has only three segments of solar panels (against 4 for Tiangong), but has 4 maneuvering engines (against 2 for Tiangong).

Thomas Whitham Sixth Form was a mixed 16 to 18 sixth form centre in Burnley, Lancashire.

## History

The sixth form opened in September 2006, as part of the first wave of a nationwide 10 to 15-year programme of capital investment funded by the Department for Education and Skills called Building Schools for the Future..
For the first two years of its existence, under the temporary name of Burnley Schools' Sixth Form, it occupied the site of the former Barden High School, before moving into new premises in September 2008, on an adjacent site. It is named after Thomas Whitham VC who served during World War I. It was judged "good with outstanding features" in an inspection by Ofsted in 2011.
Due to decreasing number of students, and a worsening financial position, the 6th Form was closed in 2020.

# Threshold expression

Mitochondrial threshold effect is a phenomenon where the number of mutated mtDNA has surpassed a certain threshold which causes the electron transport chain and ATP synthesis of a mitochondrion to fail. There isn't a set number that needs to be surpassed, however, it is associated with an increase of the number of mutated mtDNA. When there is 60-80% of mutated mtDNA present, that is said to be the threshold level. While 60-80% is the general threshold level, this is also dependent on the individual, the specific organ in question and what the specific mutation is. There are three specific types of mitochondrial threshold effects: phenotypic threshold effect, biochemical threshold effect and translational threshold effect.
Threshold expression is a phenomenon in which phenotypic expression of a mitochondrial disease within an organ system occurs when the severity of the mutation, relative number of mutant mtDNA, and reliance of the organ system on oxidative phosphorylation combine in such a way that ATP production of the tissue falls below the level required by the tissue. The phenotype may be expressed even if the percentage of mutant mtDNA is below 50% if the mutation is severe enough.

## Phenotypic threshold effect

Phenotypic threshold effect is when there is a certain amount of wild-type mtDNA present in the mitochondrion which is able to balance out the number of mutated mtDNA. As a result, the phenotype is normal. However, if the number of wild-type mtDNA decreases and the number of mutant mtDNA increases, resulting in an imbalance between the two, the threshold level has been altered which causes complications. This occurs because the wild-type mtDNA present are able to keep the electron transport chain and ATP synthesis functioning despite there being a few number of them present. They are able to counterbalance the mutated mtDNA, however, when the number drops below threshold level the mutant mtDNA take over.
# Thorr's Hammer

Thorr's Hammer was an American-Norwegian death-doom band.

## History

Thorr's Hammer was formed in Ballard, Seattle, Washington by Greg Anderson and Stephen O'Malley during winter 1994–1995. Soon after, Runhild Gammelsæter, then a 17-year-old Norwegian exchange student, joined the band as vocalist/lyricist. The band reached its final form when Jamie Sykes and James Hale joined. The band was active only for six weeks during which it played two gigs and recorded a demo and an EP titled Dommedagsnatt. In 1997, the song "Troll" from their EP Dommedagsnatt was released on The Awakening - Females in Extreme Music, a compilation album from Dwell Records.
The band disbanded after Gammelsæter's return to Oslo, Norway. Burning Witch was formed from the ashes of Thorr's Hammer, and Gammelsæter collaborated with James Plotkin (Khanate) to form Khlyst. Khlyst released a full-length album Chaos Is My Name in 2006, and a live album Chaos Live in 2008.
Thorr's Hammer reunited in 2009 to play at the Supersonic Festival in Birmingham, England, and again in 2010 for The Roadburn Festival in Tilburg, Netherlands. In an interview with Rock-A-Rolla magazine, Runhild Gammelsæter said the band "might make some new music" in the future.

# Torleiv Anda

Torleiv Anda (20 April 1921 – 18 September 2013) was a Norwegian diplomat and politician for the Labour Party.
He studied at the University of Oslo during the 1940s. After the 1943 University of Oslo fire he was incarcerated together with hundreds of other students and shipped to "readjustment" camps in Germany. He was incarcerated in Stavern for some time, then from December 1943 he was incarcerated in Sennheim and Buchenwald until the war's end. He finally graduated with the cand.mag. degree in 1948, and spent three years in the Ministry of Social Affairs before he was hired in the cultural department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He became press attaché in the United States in 1959, later in West Germany. He was also an embassy counsellor in London before returning home as assistant secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1970. He was promoted to sub-director in 1973.
Anda then served as an ambassador, first to PR China from 1975 to 1979, then to Canada from 1979 to 1984 and Israel from 1984 to 1989. Soon after retiring he released the book Intifada – opprør mot Israel, describing his personal views on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. He criticized Israel over responsibility for the human rights violations in the region. Already towards the end of his ambassador tenure he had compared the situation to the German occupation of Norway. In February 1988, he was forced to issue an apology for a statement he made to reporters, comparing the Israeli state to the German government under the Nazis.
He also served as a member of the city council in Mandal, where he had bought a cabin in Skjernøysund in 1963. He resided at Jar during his diplomatic career, but moved to Mandal upon his retirement. He was decorated as a Knight, First Class of the Order of St. Olav. He died in September 2013, aged 92.
