Nathaniel Alexander (governor)

Nathaniel Alexander (governor)
Nathaniel Alexander (March 5, 1756March 7, 1808) was an American physician and politician who served as the 13th Governor of the U.S. state of North Carolina from 1805 to 1807.
Biography
Alexander was born in 1756, in what was at the time known as Anson County in the Province of North Carolina (his birthplace is located near the modern city of Concord). He was the son of a local sheriff. He earned a bachelor's degree from the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University) in 1776 and was commissioned as a surgeon in the North Carolina Line in 1779. He served through the American Revolutionary War until 1782, and then practiced medicine for a time near Santee, South Carolina. He was distinguished as a politician but also as a physician, with Toner stating that he was a "physician of eminence in Mecklenburg."
Returning to his native North Carolina, Alexander was elected to the North Carolina House of Commons in 1797, to the North Carolina Senate in 1801, and to the United States House of Representatives in 1803.
On November 25, 1805, Alexander was elected governor by the North Carolina General Assembly and served two one-year terms in that office, declining to run for a third. Although a Democratic-Republican, he enjoyed support from the Federalists as well. As governor, he oversaw the resolution of a boundary dispute with Georgia, the expansion of the state's district courts, and the growth of the state's educational system. While governor, he was also president of The University of North Carolina Board of Trustees.
Only a few months after stepping down as governor, Alexander died in Salisbury, North Carolina; he is buried in Old Settlers' Cemetery in Charlotte, North Carolina.
He married a daughter of a Colonel Thomas Polk, but the couple was apparently childless.

مائير مارغاليت (ممثل)

مائير مارغاليت (ممثل)
مائير مارغليت (3 مايو 1906- 1974) ممثل مسرحي إسرائيلي.
في عام 1964 حصل على جائزة إسرائيل في المسرح.
سيرة شخصية
وُلِد مارغاليت عام 1906 في أوستروتشكا، في مقاطعة أومتا التابعة لكونغرس بولندا، الذي كان حينها جزءا من الإمبراطورية الروسية. وبدأ التمثيل في مسقط رأسه في سن الثالثة عشرة. في عام 1922 هاجر إلى فلسطين تحت الانتداب البريطاني ضمن ما يعرف بحركة «هيهالوتس» (الرائد) وهي حركة كانت تهدف لتشجيع اليهود على الهجرة إلى فلسطين وتوطينهم في المزارع وتعليمهم الزراعة. عمل في البداية كعامل بناء في تل أبيب وريشون لتسيون وعامل زراعي في الخضيرة. لمدة عامين ونصف انضم إلى منظمة «جدود هاأفودا» في الفرع الخاص بالقدس وعمل في مقلع.
في عام 1925، تم اختياره وقبوله في مدرسة الدراما بمسرح هاأوهيل تحت إشراف موشيه هاليفي وفي عام 1929 انضم إلى فريق التمثيل في المسرح.
برع مارغاليت في أداء الأدوار الكوميدية. كان أنجح دور له هو الدور الرئيسي في «الجندي الطيب شفايك»، وهي مسرحية مستوحاة من رواية للكاتب ياروسلاف هاشيك وترجمها إلى العبرية أفيغدور حميري. أقيم العرض الأول في 22 ديسمبر 1935. كان هذا العرض هو الأكثر نجاحًا لـمسرح هاأوهيل في تاريخه، وتم عرضه حوالي ألف وخمسمائة مرة. وبلغ إتقان مارغاليت للدور ونجاحه أنه ظل طيلة حياته التمثيلية يعرف باسم الشخصية الأساسية للمسرحية «شفايك».
في نهاية الحرب العالمية الثانية، قام مارغاليت بجولة تمثيلية أمام متطوعين يهود من فلسطين يخدمون في الجيش البريطاني في أوروبا والشرق الأوسط، بالإضافة إلى الناجين من الهولوكوست في إيطاليا والمهاجرين والمطرودين المحتجزين لدى البريطانيين في المخيمات في قبرص.
ومن الأدوار الأخرى التي نالت استحسانا هو دوره في في المسرحية الكوميدية الناجحة «هاكيتوباه» للمخرج إفرايم كيشون، والتي عرضت في مسرح هاأوهيل عام 1961.
في أوائل الستينيات، انتقل لفترة وجيزة إلى مسرح هابيما، لكنه عاد إلى هاأوهيل، حيث استمر في التمثيل حتى إغلاق المسرح عام 1969.
في عام 1964، لعب مارغاليت دور نوح سمحون في فيلم «عائلة سمحون»، المقتبس من المسلسل الإذاعي الشهير الذي يحمل نفس الاسم، عندما كان صموئيل رودنسكي بطل المسلسل الإذاعي، خارج فلسطين في ذلك الوقت.
كان آخر أداء لمارغليت في مسرحية «أين أرض إسرائيل؟» من إخراج أدا بن ناحوم، أنتجت المسرحية في إنتاج خاص وعرضت على مسرح ليلاخ عامي 1972 و 1973.
الجوائز والتكريم
في عام 1956، حصل مارغاليت على جائزة رامشال من بلدية تل أبيب.
في عام 1962، حصل على جائزة كلاوسنر للتمثيل.
في عام 1964 حصل على جائزة إسرائيل في المسرح.
سمي شارع باسمه في حي أفيكا في تل أبيب.
في عام 1976، أنشأت عائلة مارغليت، بالتعاون مع متحف وأرشيف مسرح القدس، صندوقًا باسم مارغاليت لمنح جوائز في مجال الفنون المسرحية.

Paul L. Modrich

Paul L. Modrich
Paul Lawrence Modrich (born June 13, 1946) is an American biochemist, James B. Duke Professor of Biochemistry at Duke University and Investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. He is known for his research on DNA mismatch repair. Modrich received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2015, jointly with Aziz Sancar and Tomas Lindahl.
Early life and education
Modrich was born on June 13, 1946, in Raton, New Mexico to Laurence Modrich and Margaret McTurk. He has a younger brother Dave. His father was a biology teacher and coach for basketball, football and tennis at Raton High School where he graduated in 1964. Modrich is of Croatian, Montenegrin, German and Scottish (Gaelic) origin. His paternal grandfather, of Croatian descent, is probably from the small village of Modrići near Zadar, and grandmother of Montenegrin descent, both immigrated to the United States from coastal Croatia in the late 19th century. His maternal family is of mixed German and Scotch-Irish descent. Modrich married fellow scientist Vickers Burdett in 1980.
Modrich obtained a B.S. degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1968 and subsequently a Ph.D. degree from Stanford University in 1973. He continued his research as a postdoc in the lab of Charles C. Richardson at Harvard Medical School for a year (1973–1974).
Research
Modrich became an assistant professor at the chemistry department of University of California, Berkeley in 1974. He joined Duke University's faculty in 1976 and has been a Howard Hughes Investigator since 1995. He works primarily on strand-directed mismatch repair. His lab demonstrated how DNA mismatch repair serves as a copyeditor to prevent errors from DNA polymerase. Matthew Meselson previously proposed the existence of recognition of mismatches. Modrich performed biochemical experiments to study mismatch repair in E. coli. They later searched for proteins associated with mismatch repair in humans.
Honors and awards
Honors and awards received by Modrich include:
1983: Pfizer Award in Enzyme Chemistry
1996: General Motors Charles S. Mott Prize in Cancer Research
1998: Robert J. and Claire Pasarow Foundation Medical Research Award for cancer research
2000 Feodor Lynen Medal

German submarine U-487

German submarine U-487 was a Type XIV supply and replenishment U-boat ("Milchkuh") of Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine during World War II.
Her keel was laid down 31 December 1941 by Germaniawerft in Kiel as yard number 556. She was launched on 17 October 1942 and commissioned on 21 December 1942 with Oberleutnant zur See Helmut Metz in command. Metz commanded the boat for its entire career.
Her service began with training as part of the 4th U-boat Flotilla. She then joined the 12th flotilla for operations.
Design
German Type XIV submarines were shortened versions of the Type IXDs they were based on. U-487 had a displacement of when at the surface and while submerged. The U-boat had a total length of , a pressure hull length of , a beam of , a height of , and a draught of . The submarine was powered by two Germaniawerft supercharged four-stroke, six-cylinder diesel engines producing a total of for use while surfaced, two Siemens-Schuckert 2 GU 345/38-8 double-acting electric motors producing a total of for use while submerged. She had two shafts and two propellers. The boat was capable of operating at depths of up to .
The submarine had a maximum surface speed of and a maximum submerged speed of . When submerged, the boat could operate for at ; when surfaced, she could travel at . U-487 was not fitted with torpedo tubes or deck guns, but had two SK C/30 anti-aircraft guns with 2500 rounds as well as a C/30 guns with 3000 rounds. The boat had a complement of fifty-three.
Operational career
U-487 conducted two patrols. As a supply boat, she avoided combat.
First patrol
The U-boat departed Kiel on 27 March 1943, heading for the mid-Atlantic. She arrived in Bordeaux, in occupied France on 12 May.
Second patrol and loss
Her second patrol saw her leave Bordeaux on 15 June 1943. On 13 July, U-487 was attacked in the central Atlantic by five United States Navy Grumman TBF Avengers and Grumman F4F Wildcats from the escort carrier . The U-boat's crew were taken by surprise, so much so that sunbathers were seen on the casing. One Wildcat was shot down, but 31 men were killed and the U-boat sunk. The 33 survivors were taken prisoner on board .
