He was nominated by the Taoiseach to the 14th Seanad on 20 June 1980 to fill vacancy created by the resignation of Michael Yeats. He did not contest the 1981 Seanad election. He was an unsuccessful Fianna Fáil candidate for the Wicklow constituency at the 1981 general election.
In 1988 he was co-opted to replace the deceased councillor Jim Miley by Fianna Fáil, however he was not selected to run for the party in 1991 local elections.
From 1991 to 2019, he was an independent member of Wicklow County Council for the Baltinglass electoral area, which covers the western portion of County Wicklow. He retired from politics at the 2019 local elections.

# Viktor Ivančić

Viktor Ivančić (born 8 October 1960) is a Croatian journalist, best known as the founding member and long-time editor-in-chief of satirical weekly Feral Tribune.
A native of Split, Ivančić edited the student paper of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, at the University of Split. He came to public spotlight in 1980s as a member of VIVA LUDEŽ, trio of young humourists who wrote for humour sections of Split newspapers and magazines like Slobodna Dalmacija, Nedjeljna Dalmacija and Omladinska Iskra. Those weekly supplements, which would ultimately become Feral Tribune, featured his regular column called Bilježnica Robija K. (Notebook of Robi K.), in which he gave satirical comments on important social and political events seen through the eyes of an elementary school pupil.
During the first years Croatian independence, Ivančić and Feral Tribune came into conflict with the government of Franjo Tuđman and his Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ). In early 1993 Slobodna Dalmacija was taken over by Miroslav Kutle, a businessman with close ties to Tuđman's right-hand man Gojko Šušak. As a result, Feral Tribune was removed from the pages of Split daily.
However, few months later, Feral Tribune appeared as bi-weekly, becoming weekly newspaper in December 1993. Viktor Ivančić became its editor-in-chief. During his tenure, the magazine was one of the first to openly criticise the government, expose war crimes committed by Croatian Army, as well as HDZ role in the most controversial aspects of privatisation and other scandals.
Ivančić received high praise from his peers for his efforts and received many prestigious journalism awards. Tuđman's government, on the other hand, reacted with the campaign that included controversial pornography taxes, defamation of characters of suits, criminal charges against Feral staff and economic sabotage through government-friendly businesses. Some of it was directed at Ivančić himself. Soon after receiving public death threat from top HDZ officials, Ivančić was mobilised into Croatian Army on 31 December 1993. He was released from Army – which he served in 4th Guards Brigade – in short time, following series of international protests.
In the late 1990s, Ivančić ceased to be Ferals editor-in-chief, but he continued to work in the magazine as columnist. Some of his columns were later published as books. After Feral Tribune ceased to exist in 2008, he join the national weekly newspaper Novosti where he still writes regularly as a columnist.
In 2017, Ivančić has signed the Declaration on the Common Language of the Croats, Serbs, Bosniaks and Montenegrins.
# J. E. Talbot

John Ellis Talbot (24 April 1906 – 9 January 1967) was a British Building society manager, solicitor and Conservative Party politician.
Talbot was educated at Stubbington House School in Fareham and Rossall School in Fleetwood, Lancashire. He worked first as a solicitor; from 1938 he was Joint Manager of the Kidderminster Permanent Benefit Building Society. In 1936 he was elected as a Kidderminster councillor; after war service in the Royal Army Observer Corps (1941–1945), he was Mayor of the town from 1947 to 1949. He also served on Worcestershire County Council from 1952 to 1955.
He was elected as Member of Parliament (MP) for Brierley Hill, which was immediately to the north of Kidderminster, at the 1959 general election. In 1961 Talbot became Director and Chairman of the Kidderminster Equitable Building Society; he also followed his interest in gardening and became a Master of the Company of Gardeners (a London Livery company) in 1962. In 1964 he became Chairman of the Gardeners Royal Benevolent Society.
Brierley Hill was a marginal constituency and Talbot did well to keep it at the 1966 general election at which there was a swing to Labour. However, he died early the next year, at the age of 60.
# Glutamate synthase (ferredoxin)

In enzymology, a glutamate synthase (ferredoxin) (EC 1.4.7.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
    2 L-glutamate + 2 oxidized ferredoxin $\rightleftharpoons$ L-glutamine + 2-oxoglutarate + 2 reduced ferredoxin + 2 H$^+$
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are L-glutamate and oxidized ferredoxin, whereas its 4 products are L-glutamine, 2-oxoglutarate, reduced ferredoxin, and H$^+$.

## Classification

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-NH$_2$ group of donors with an iron-sulfur protein as acceptor.

## Nomenclature

The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-glutamate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (transaminating). Other names in common use include:
* ferredoxin-dependent glutamate synthase,
* ferredoxin-glutamate synthase,
* glutamate synthase (ferredoxin-dependent), and
* ferredoxin-glutamine oxoglutarate aminotransferase (Fd-GOGAT).

## Biological role

This enzyme participates in nitrogen metabolism. It has 5 cofactors: FAD, iron, sulfur, iron-sulfur, and flavoprotein.
# Flucetorex

Flucetorex (INN) is an amphetamine. It was investigated as an anorectic, but does not appear to have been marketed. It is related to fenfluramine.

# Travis Wellington Hedge

Travis Wellington Hedge was an Australian pop rock band, based in Adelaide, that existed from 1968 to 1969. It was an early band of noted musician and composer Graeham Goble, who subsequently achieved success with Mississippi, Little River Band and Birtles Shorrock Goble.

## Performances

Travis Wellington Hedge was formed in late 1968 following the breakup of Goble's first band The Silence. Their first public performance took place at Port Noarlunga's Teen Scene Club on 16 November 1968.
In a short lifespan of ten months, the band completed 83 performances. This included nine television appearances, on programs such as Adelaide Tonight, Today-Tonight (ABC Television) and In Time.

### Hoadley's Battle of the Sounds

Hoadley's Battle of the Sounds was a prestigious Australian national band contest held annually from 1966 to 1972. The winning band received a cash prize and international travel. Winners included The Twilights, The Groop, Doug Parkinson In Focus, The Flying Circus and Sherbet.
1969 was the peak year of the contest, with over 1000 bands competing. For the only time, there were two categories: bands and vocal groups. The prize for each category was identical.
Travis Wellington Hedge entered the vocal groups category and, on 11 July 1969 at the South Australian Final, won the right to represent the state at the national final. One month later, on 10 August 1969, the band finished third at the National Final, losing to Sydney band The Affair featuring Kerrie Biddell.

## Recording

In 1969, Travis Wellington Hedge recorded a single for the RCA Australia label. The A-side was a cover of The Beatles' Yellow Submarine track "Hey Bulldog", while the B-side covered Screamin' Jay Hawkins' song "I Put a Spell on You".
"Hey Bulldog" subsequently reappeared as track 16 on the "psychotropic" compilation Datura Dreamtime. (Coincidentally, Datura Dreamtime is an interesting precursor to the internationally-famous Little River Band (LRB). Other album tracks feature Goble's future LRB bandmates: Glenn Shorrock with The Twilights and Beeb Birtles with Zoot, as well as Goble's next band Allison Gros.)

## Breakup

Travis Wellington Hedge broke up towards the end of 1969. Their last performance was held at Adelaide's Princeton Club on 25 October 1969.
Graeham Goble, Shane Simon and Rob Leedham went on to form a new band, Allison Gros, later known as Mississippi.
