# Abune Dioskoros

Abune Diosqoros (born Diosqoros Hagos Mendefera; 1935 – 21 December 2015) was the fourth Patriarch of the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church, appointed in April 2007.

## Bishop

Born in 1935, Dioskoros was consecrated as bishop of the Seraye district in the feast of Pentecost on 19 May 1994 by Coptic Orthodox Pope Shenouda III of Alexandria. In 2004 he was transferred to the Diocese of the South West, where was a ruling bishop until his disputed election as the head of the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church on 19 April 2007.

## Patriarch

Dioskoros' appointment was made possible because the regime in Eritrea changed the rules for the appointment, so that the Holy Synod of the church could assign a layman to be the new Patriarch. The removal of Antonios (1927-2022), the former legal Patriarch, at the behest of the Eritrean government was denounced by Coptic Pope Shenouda III of Alexandria and the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church who have refused to recognize Dioskoros as legitimate Patriarch of Eritrea, as did several Eritrean churches, particularly in the diaspora, which continued to endorse his predecessor. The former Patriarch Antonios, who was removed from the post after having criticized the Eritrean government for interference in church affairs, has been held under house arrest by the regime in Eritrea since 2005.
In October 2014 the Union of Eritrean Monasteries issued a decree excommunicating Dioskoros' governmental allies, the priest Habtom Russom Habte and the layman Yoftahe Dimetros Gebre-mariam, citing a long list of alleged abuses during their administration during Doskoros' reign. However Dioskoros was not directly excommunicated in the process. The Eritrean Government accused several monks of being a major force behind the excommunication letter. A number of the monks allegedly involved decided to escape and take refuge in Ethiopia.
Dioskoros died on 21 December 2015. Since his death, the position of patriarch of the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church fell vacant until 2021, with the election of Qerlos.
# Old West Church (Calais, Vermont)

Old West Church is a historic church on Old West Road in the Kents Corner area of Calais, Vermont. Built 1823–25, it is a little-altered example of an early 19th-century rural Vermont church. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

## Description and history

The Old West Church stands in a rural area of Calais, 0.8 miles (1.3 km) south of the crossroads village of Kents Corner, on the west side of Old West Road. It is a tall single-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, clapboarded exterior, and stone foundation. A three-stage tower rises above the front facade, with a square first stage housing the belfry, and two octagonal stages of decreasing size. The main facade has a bank of three similar entrances, each flanked by pilasters, and all set under a common entablature and cornice. Sash windows flank this assemblage, and a second level also has three sash windows. The interior has a vestibule with stairs leading to a gallery level on either side, and is otherwise a single large chamber. The gallery extends on three sides, supported by square posts. The pulpit is against the far wall, and the interior is filled with original plain pine box pews.
The church was built in the mid-1820s, in a style that was more common to the late 18th century. The pulpit, originally built at the height of the gallery, was lowered to its present height a few years later. The building has no modern amenities, and is heated by wood stoves installed at the rear in 1831. Its steeple was damaged by lightning in 1953, at which time the weathervane was replaced.

He played for Austria in several Chess Olympiads:
* In 1956, at second board in 12th Chess Olympiad in Moscow (+11 –2 =4);
* In 1958, at first board in 13th Chess Olympiad in Munich (+6 –5 =8);
* In 1962, at second board in 15th Chess Olympiad in Varna (+2 –6 =2);
* In 1964, at first board in 16th Chess Olympiad in Tel Aviv (+8 –5 =3);
* In 1968, at first board in 18th Chess Olympiad in Lugano (+5 –2 =5);
* In 1970, at first board in 19th Chess Olympiad in Siegen (+4 –2 =6);
* In 1974, at second board in 21st Chess Olympiad in Nice (+8 –0 =4);
* In 1976, at second board in 22nd Chess Olympiad in Haifa (+5 –4 =1);
* In 1988, at second reserve board in 28th Chess Olympiad in Thessaloniki (+2 –2 =3).
He won two individual gold medals, at Moscow 1956 and at Nice 1974, and was awarded the International Master (IM) title in 1956.
In February 2024, he was awarded by FIDE the title of Honorary Grandmaster. He was then the oldest living grandmaster. Dückstein died on 28 August 2024, at the age of 97. After his death, Iivo Nei became the oldest living grandmaster.

# Technetium(IV) oxide

Technetium(IV) oxide, also known as technetium dioxide, is a chemical compound with the formula TcO$_2$ which forms the dihydrate, TcO$_2$·2H$_2$O, which is also known as technetium(IV) hydroxide. It is a radioactive black solid which slowly oxidizes in air.

## Preparation

Technetium dioxide was first produced in 1949 by electrolyzing a solution of ammonium pertechnetate under ammonium hydroxide and this method is used for separating technetium from molybdenum and rhenium. There are now more efficient ways of producing the compound, such as the reduction of ammonium pertechnetate by zinc metal and hydrochloric acid, stannous chloride, hydrazine, hydroxylamine, ascorbic acid, by the hydrolysis of potassium hexachlorotechnate or by the decomposition of ammonium pertechnetate at 700 °C under an inert atmosphere:
    2 NH$_4$TcO$_4$ → 2 TcO$_2$ + 4 H$_2$O + N$_2$
All of these methods except the last lead to the formation of the dihydrate. The most modern method of producing this compound is by the reaction of ammonium pertechnetate with sodium dithionite.

## Properties

The dihydrate dehydrates to anhydrous technetium dioxide at 300 °C, and if further heated sublime at 1,100 °C under an inert atmosphere, however, if oxygen is present, it will react with the oxygen to produce technetium(VII) oxide at 450 °C. If water is present, pertechnetic acid is produced by the reaction of technetium(VII) oxide with water.
If technetium dioxide is treated with a base, such as sodium hydroxide, it forms the hydroxotechnetate(IV) ion, which is easily oxidized to pertechnetic acid in numerous ways, such as the reaction with alkaline hydrogen peroxide, concentrated nitric acid, bromine, or tetravalent cerium.
The solubility of technetium(IV) oxide is very low and is reported to be 3.9 μg/L. The main species when technetium dioxide is dissolved in water is TcO$^{2+}$ at pH below 1.5, TcO(OH)$^+$ pH between 1.5 and 2.5, TcO(OH)$_2$ pH between 2.5 and 10.9, and TcO(OH)$^–$ $_3$ above pH 10.9. The solubility can be affected by adding various organic ligands such as humic acid and EDTA, or by the addition of hydrochloric acid. This can be a problem if technetium(IV) oxide is released into the soil, as it will increase the solubility.
If technetium dioxide is electrolyzed in acidic conditions, the following reaction occurs:
    TcO$_2$·2H$_2$O → TcO$^–$ $_4$ + 4 H$^+$ + 3 e$^–$
The electrode potential measured for this reaction is −837.2±10.0 kJ/mol.
The molar magnetic susceptibility of TcO$_2$·2H$_2$O was found to be χ$_m$ = 244×10$^6$.

# Governor of Yozgat

The governor of Yozgat (Turkish: Yozgat Valiliği) is the bureaucratic state official responsible for both national government and state affairs in the province of Yozgat. Similar to the governors of the 80 other provinces of Turkey, the governor of Yozgat is appointed by the government of Turkey and is responsible for the implementation of government legislation within Yozgat. The governor is also the most senior commander of both the Yozgat provincial police force and the Yozgat Gendarmerie.

## Appointment

The governor of Yozgat is appointed by the president of Turkey, who confirms the appointment after recommendation from the Turkish government. The Ministry of the Interior first considers and puts forward possible candidates for approval by the cabinet. The governor of Yozgat is therefore not a directly elected position and instead functions as the most senior civil servant in the province of Yozgat.

### Term limits

The governor is not limited by any term limits and does not serve for a set length of time. Instead, the governor serves at the pleasure of the government, which can appoint or reposition the governor whenever it sees fit. Such decisions are again made by the cabinet of Turkey. The governor of Yozgat, as a civil servant, may not have any close connections or prior experience in Yozgat Province. It is not unusual for governors to alternate between several different provinces during their bureaucratic career.

## Functions

The governor of Yozgat has both bureaucratic functions and influence over local government. The main role of the governor is to oversee the implementation of decisions by government ministries, constitutional requirements and legislation passed by Grand National Assembly within the provincial borders. The governor also has the power to reassign, remove or appoint officials a certain number of public offices and has the right to alter the role of certain public institutions if they see fit. Governors are also the most senior public official within the province, meaning that they preside over any public ceremonies or provincial celebrations being held due to a national holiday. As the commander of the provincial police and Gendarmerie forces, the governor can also take decisions designed to limit civil disobedience and preserve public order. Although mayors of municipalities and councillors are elected during local elections, the governor has the right to re-organise or to inspect the proceedings of local government despite being an unelected position.
# Ildefonso Arenas

Ildefonso Arenas (born 1947 in Madrid) is a Spanish writer, best known for his historical novels. An IT professional by trade, Arenas achieved enormous success with his novel Álava en Waterloo, based on the exploits of Miguel Ricardo de Álava. He has published half a dozen novels, for which he typically does exhaustive historical research.
# Psychophasma

Psychophasma is a monotypic moth genus in the family Erebidae erected by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1878. Its only species, Psychophasma erosa, was first described by Gottlieb August Wilhelm Herrich-Schäffer in 1858. It is found in Guatemala, Costa Rica, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Ecuador, Venezuela, Suriname, French Guiana, Guyana, Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia and Peru.
# Donald McCaig

Donald McCaig (May 1, 1940 in Butte, Montana – November 11, 2018) was an American novelist, poet, essayist and sheepdog trainer.

## Early life and education

McCaig was born in Butte, Montana and served in the United States Marine Corps for two years. He received a BA in philosophy from Montana State University in 1963 and subsequently completed postgraduate studies in shepherding and sheepdogs.

## Career

He had a brief but successful career on New York's Madison Avenue before moving to a sheep farm in Bath County, near Williamsville in the western mountains of Virginia with his wife, Anne.
His 1998 novel, Jacob's Ladder, and his 2008 novel, Canaan, won the Michael Shaara Award for Excellence in Civil War Fiction. Jacob's Ladder also won the Library of Virginia Fiction Award, the John Esten Cooke Award for Southern Fiction, and the W.Y. Boyd Literary Award for Excellence in Military Fiction.
His last work was Ruth's Journey: The Authorized Novel of Mammy from Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind, about the eponymous literary character. His second-to-last was Mr. and Mrs. Dog: Our Travels, Trials, Adventures, and Epiphanies, which draws on twenty-five years of experience raising sheepdogs to vividly describe his—and his dogs June and Luke's—unlikely progress toward and participation in the World Sheepdog Trials in Wales. Before that, he wrote the highly acclaimed Rhett Butler's People, a sequel to Gone with the Wind authorized by the Margaret Mitchell estate. McCaig was also a contributor to NPR's All Things Considered.
# Acteon subtornatilis

Acteon subtornatilis is an extinct species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Acteonidae.

## Description

The length of the shell attains 17 mm, its diameter 8.4 mm.
(Original description) The shell is similar to Acteon tornatilis (Linnaeus, 1758) of Europe in size and form, but as coarsely sculptured over the whole body whorl as that species is on the base. There are about 35 subequal spiral grooves on the body whorl, cut into square or oblong pits by narrow vertical lamellae, the grooves separated by flat-topped ridges which are wider than the intervals except on the base, where they become narrow, no longer flat-topped, and about equal in width to the intervening grooves.

## Distribution

Fossils of this marine species have been found in Oligocene strata in the Dominican Republic.
# Exosome component 6

Exosome complex exonuclease MTR3 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the EXOSC6 gene.
This gene product constitutes one of the subunits of the multisubunit particle called the exosome complex, which mediates mRNA degradation. The composition of human exosome is similar to its yeast counterpart. This protein is homologous to the yeast Mtr3 protein. Its exact function is not known, however, it has been shown using a cell-free RNA decay system that the exosome is required for rapid degradation of unstable mRNAs containing AU-rich elements (AREs), but not for poly(A) shortening. The exosome does not recognize ARE-containing mRNAs on its own, but requires ARE-binding proteins that could interact with the exosome and recruit it to unstable mRNAs, thereby promoting their rapid degradation.

## Interactions

Exosome component 6 has been shown to interact with Exosome component 7,Exosome component 8 and Exosome component 1.
