# Eastern District of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod

The Eastern District is one of the 35 districts of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod (LCMS), and covers: most of upstate New York; Pennsylvania, with the exception of York and Lancaster Counties; and Garrett County at the western corner of the Maryland panhandle. The rest of New York, including New York City, is in the Atlantic District; York and Lancaster Counties in Pennsylvania and the remainder of Maryland are in the Southeastern District. In addition, sixteen congregations in the Eastern District's area are in the non-geographic English District, and eleven Pennsylvania congregations are in the SELC District. The Eastern District includes 135 congregations and missions, subdivided into 11 circuits, as well as 28 preschools and 9 elementary schools. Baptized membership in Eastern District congregations is approximately 40,000.
The Eastern District is one of the Synod's four original districts formed in 1854; much of its territory was separated into the Atlantic District in 1906. District offices are located in Williamsville, New York. Delegates from each congregation meet in convention every three years to elect the district president, vice presidents, circuit visitors, a board of directors, and other officers. The Rev. John Pingel became the district president in 2022. The 100th Regular Convention was held June 17–18, 2022 in Tonawanda, New York.

# 5-carboxymethyl-2-hydroxymuconate Delta-isomerase

In enzymology, a 5-carboxymethyl-2-hydroxymuconate Delta-isomerase (EC 5.3.3.10) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
    5-carboxymethyl-2-hydroxymuconate $\rightleftharpoons$ 5-carboxy-2-oxohept-3-enedioate
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, 5-carboxymethyl-2-hydroxymuconate, and one product, 5-carboxy-2-oxohept-3-enedioate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically those intramolecular oxidoreductases transposing C=C bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 5-carboxymethyl-2-hydroxymuconate Delta2,Delta4-2-oxo,Delta3-isomerase. This enzyme participates in tyrosine metabolism and benzoate degradation via hydroxylation.

## Structural studies

As of late 2007, 4 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1GTT, 1I7O, 1WZO, and 2DFU.

# A. A. M. Stols

A. A. M. Stols (usually called Alexander or Sander, 1900–1973) was a Dutch printer and publisher, known best for his limited bibliophile editions of Dutch poetry.

## Biography

Stols was born in Maastricht, 28 January 1900. He was a son of Ludovicus Hubertus Alexander Stols (1870-1942), printer and publisher, and Alida Alphonsine Fermin (1874-1960); his father was the co-founder and co-owner of the Maastricht publishing house Boosten & Stols, which was later run by Sander's two younger brothers. In 1928 he married Margaretha Wilhelmina Kroesen (1908-2002). They had three children.
Stols finished the Hogere Burgerschool in 1917, and soon immersed himself in the local cultural world, becoming fascinated by books and joining a circle of friends including Charles Nypels, a typographer who had studied in Amsterdam under Sjoerd de Roos. The group combined a love for typography and books with a passion for art, especially French literature. At that time he began experimenting in his father's print shop, and his first printed book, a text from Joost van den Vondel, was printed with the assistance of Nypels. Having taken exams in Greek and Latin he went to Amsterdam to study law in 1919, with the ultimate goal of training to be an archivist, but never attained his degree.

### Publishing career

Stols was a prolific publisher of many Dutch authors including Adriaan Roland Holst, J.C. Bloem, E. du Perron, J. Slauerhoff, Antoinette Hendrika Nijhoff-Wind, Simon Vestdijk, M. Vasalis, Jan van Nijlen, Karel Van de Woestijne, Gerrit Achterberg, and Marnix Gijsen, as well as French authors such as Valery Larbaud, Paul Valéry, and André Gide. Between 1922 and 1942 Stols published over 550 books, which were known for their attractive typography and design, with the assistance of Jan van Krimpen and later Helmut Salden. John Buckland Wright illustrated a number of his books.
In 1951, Stols left for Latin America where, until 1962, he worked for UNESCO in Ecuador, Guatemala, and Mexico. He established a friendship with Alfonso Reyes. In Mexico, Boudewijn Ietswaart was his assistant for two years. After a brief stay in the Netherlands, Stols returned to Mexico in 1963 where he worked until his retirement in 1965 as a cultural attaché at the embassy of The Netherlands. He then moved to Tarragona, Spain, where he died in 1973.

# CANAL-F

The Cognitive Ability for Novelty in Acquisition of Language - Foreign (CANAL-F) is a test measuring language aptitude, or whether and how well a person can learn a second language. It was developed by Grigorenko, Sternberg, and Ehrman in 2000, using "acquisition processes" as a theoretical base. This is a somewhat different approach to testing language aptitude. The test uses an artificially-constructed language called Ursulu to test for language aptitude. The Pimsleur Language Aptitude Battery, published in 1966, also uses an artificial language to test for grammatical sensitivity.

## Impetus

CANAL-F was developed as an alternative to another aptitude test, the Modern Language Aptitude Test (MLAT). Although developed in the 1950s, in recent years, the MLAT has been sometimes associated with a language teaching methodology known as the audiolingual method, largely popular in the mid and late1960s and characterized by repetitive drills. The audiolingual method fell out of vogue in the 1970s. The MLAT, although still used successfully in a number and variety of different contexts and countries, did not reflect the latest thinking in how language is acquired, developed and maintained in the mind of the learner, so a new tool was desired which could better address the revised theories of language, especially insofar as cognitive theory is concerned.

## Organizing Principles

While based on Carroll's theoretical work, the CANAL-F takes a slightly different approach to assessing foreign language aptitude. The test aims to measure:
* ability for acquiring vocabulary,
* comprehending extended texts,
* extracting grammatical rules and
* making semantic inferences
all in the context of the major underlying feature of language aptitude being an ability for the learner to cope with novelty and ambiguity.

## Reception

Rod Ellis points out that despite CANAL-F using a new formulation of language aptitude as its base, the results it gets are very similar to those of the MLAT. He says, however, that one advantage of CANAL-F is that it "does afford the possibility of achieving a closer match between specific aptitudes and specific psycholinguistic processes". While sample items were included in the original article, the full CANAL-F test is not commercially available.
