American Desi is a 2001 American comedy film with Indian influence, notable for featuring many prominent South Asian American actors.  Also featured is an a cappella version of Nazia Hassan's Urdu classic "Aap Jaisa Koi", sung by Penn Masala and originally from the movie Qurbani.  The term Desi in the title refers to the people and cultures of the Indian subcontinent.

Plot
An American son of Indian immigrants, Krishnagopal Reddy, or "Kris" as he prefers to be called (to distance himself from his heritage), does not associate with the Indian culture that his parents have pushed upon him. Upon arriving at Rutgers University, he finds out to his dismay that all of his roommates are of Indian descent, and all except one are international students from India. His roommates include Ajay (Kal Penn), who idealizes African-American culture; Jagjit, who loves art but studies engineering to please his father; and Salim, who is very traditional and conservative, feeling that Indian-American girls are too Westernized to make good wives.

Kris meets Nina, a girl he immediately falls for, and is surprised to find out that not only is she of Indian descent, but she is also quite connected to Indian culture and speaks her parents' native language. Kris tries his best to win Nina over - from joining the Indian Students Association to be near her, to learning how to perform a Dandiya Raas. Kris eventually begins to enjoy the company of his roommates, all of whom put together their knowledge and skill to help Kris impress Nina through various ways involving Indian culture, which he eventually comes to appreciate.

Socioecology is the scientific study of how social structure and organization are influenced by an organism's environment. Socioecology is primarily related to anthropology, geography, sociology, and ecology. Specifically, the term is used in human ecology, the study of the interaction between humans and their environment. Socioecological models of human health examine the interaction of many factors, ranging from narrowest (individual behaviors) to broadest (federal policies). The factors of socioecological models consist of individual behaviors, sociodemographic factors (race, education, socioeconomic status), interpersonal factors (romantic, family, and coworker relationships), community factors (physical and social environment), and societal factors (local, state, and federal policies.

It elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post method of election. The current MP is David Jones of the Conservative Party, first elected at the 2005 general election and who also served as Secretary of State for Wales from 4 September 2012 until 14 July 2014.

The constituency is set to be abolished, as part of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies and under the June 2023 final recommendations of the Boundary Commission for Wales for the next United Kingdom general election. Its wards is to be split between Bangor Aberconwy, Clwyd East and Clwyd North.

Boundaries

Following the Fifth Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, as confirmed by The Parliamentary Constituencies and Assembly Electoral Regions (Wales) Order 2006, the constituency of Clwyd West is formed from the following electoral wards:

In Conwy County Borough: Abergele Pensarn,  Betws yn Rhos, Colwyn, Eirias, Gele, Glyn, Kinmel Bay, Llanddulas, Llandrillo yn Rhos, Llanfair Talhaiarn, Llangernyw, Llansannan, Llysfaen, Mochdre, Towyn

The East Main Street Historic District encompasses a well-preserved late 19th-century commercial area on the east side of Bridgeport, Connecticut.  Extending along East Main Street from Interstate 95 to Crescent Place, the district arose as part of a major development push orchestrated by P.T. Barnum in the 1850s, and contains one of Connecticut's finest assemblages of late Victorian commercial architecture.  The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

Description and history
The East Main Street Historic District is located along several blocks of Bridgeport's East Main Street, a north-south spine of commercial activity on the city's East Side.  The district extends roughly from the Interstate 95 junction in the south, to the railroad tracks in the north.  It is characterized by densely built masonry commercial buildings, set close to the sidewalk, and often directly abutting adjacent buildings.  Most buildings are two to four stories in height, and feature some level of late 19th-century Victorian architectural styling on their facades.  Many buildings have modified storefronts in which such details have been removed, while others merely obscure the surviving details under later coverings.

Bridgeport's East Side was developed beginning in the 1850s through the efforts of P.T. Barnum, one of the city's major boosters of the period, and William H. Noble, whose father had purchased much land on the east side with an eye towards development.  Barnum had a vision of developing the area as a new commercial, industrial, and residential area, forming what became in some respects a second city.  He built factory buildings to attract business, and sold off other parcels for housing and commercial development.  East Main Street became the commercial hub for much of this economic activity, providing services to local workers for whom downtown Bridgeport (across the Pequonnock River was less convenient.  Because architectural parts were one of the city's industrial outputs, the area features a particularly fine array of detail, not often found elsewhere in the state.

Axin-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the AXIN1 gene.

Function 

This gene encodes a cytoplasmic protein which contains a regulation of G-protein signaling (RGS) domain and a dishevelled and axin (DIX) domain. The encoded protein interacts with adenomatosis polyposis coli, catenin (cadherin-associated protein) beta 1, glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta, protein phosphatase 2, and itself. This protein functions as a negative regulator of the wingless-type MMTV integration site family, member 1 (WNT) signaling pathway and can induce apoptosis. The crystal structure of a portion of this protein, alone and in a complex with other proteins, has been resolved. Mutations in this gene have been associated with hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatoblastomas, ovarian endometrioid adenocarcinomas, and medulloblastomas. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.

The AXIN proteins attract substantial interest in cancer research as AXIN1 and AXIN2 work synergistically to control pro-oncogenic β-catenin signaling. Importantly, activity in the β-catenin destruction complex can be increased by tankyrase inhibitors and are a potential therapeutic option to reduce the growth of β-catenin-dependent cancers.

Structure 

The full-length human protein comprises 862 amino acids with a (predicted) molecular mass of 96 kDa. The N-terminal RGS domain, a GSK3 kinase interacting peptide of Axin1 and homologs of the C-terminal DIX domains have been solved at atomic resolution. Large WNT-downregulating central regions have been characterized as intrinsically disordered by biophysical experiments and bioinformatic analysis. Biophysical destabilization of the folded RGS domain induces formation of nanoaggregates that expose and locally concentrate intrinsically disordered regions, which in turn misregulate Wnt signalling. Many other large IDPs (Intrinsically Disordered Proteins) are affected by missense mutations, such as BRCA1, Adenomatous polyposis coli, CREB-binding protein/(CBP) and might be affected in similar ways by missense mutations of their folded domains.

Interactions 

AXIN1 has been shown to interact with:

 APC, 
 CTNNB1, 
 CSNK1E, 
 CSNK1A1, 
 DVL1, 
 GSK3B, 
 LRP5, 
 MAP3K1, 
 PPP2R5A, 
 RNF43, and
 TSC2.

The Samoa Shipping Corporation is a government-owned company in Samoa which provides freight and passenger services between Savai'i, Upolu and American Samoa. Established in 1974, the corporation is managed as a public trading body under the Public Bodies (Performance and Accountability) Act 2001.

The corporation also provides maritime support services, including engineering services in Apia and a slipway at Satitoa in Aleipata. It maintains facilities at Mulifanua, Salelologa, Apia and Pago Pago.

History

The corporation was initially funded by overseas aid. In 1974 the New Zealand government provided NZ$450,000 for the construction of a roll-on/roll-off ferry terminal at Mulifanua. In 1977 the Australian government provided a ferry, the MV Queen Salamasina. The company was unprofitable for its first twenty years, and gained a reputation for inefficiency. In 1985 it bought a "luxury boat", only to sell it back to the original owners just two years later for less than it had paid for it. It finally started delivering dividends to the government in the late 1990's. In 2001 it expanded its fleet, adding the Samoa Express on the Apia - Tokelau route.

In 2008 the company constructed a wharf and slipway at Satitoa in Aleipata to reduce travel time to American Samoa and allow vessels to be maintained locally. The new terminal was unpopular with exporters, and services were shifted back to Apia after the Lady Naomi was damaged due to the dock not being deep enough.

In 2011 it opened its engineering facility in Apia. In 2012 it began providing bimonthly services to the Northern Cook Islands and to Tokelau.

In 2019 - 2020 the company made a profit of $332,000, which was reduced due to the 2019 Samoa measles outbreak.

"Paranoimia" is a song by the English synth-pop group Art of Noise, released in April 1986 from their second studio album, In Visible Silence (1986). The song's better-known version was a version released as a single, featuring television character Max Headroom on vocals. This version was first included on the 1986 album Re-Works of Art of Noise.

The 7-inch single features a monologue about Max Headroom being scared and unable to sleep (hence "Paranoimia", a portmanteau of "paranoia" and "insomnia"). The 12-inch has a completely different vocal with Headroom as a master of ceremonies, talking about the music and making a pun-laden introduction of the alleged band members: Peter O'Toole on trumpet (the absence of a trumpet in the song explained by O'Toole, notorious at one time for his drinking, "just having a rest between bars"), tennis player Martina Navratilova on  bassline (baseline), Cher on mic ("Are you OK, Mike?"), and the Pope on drums.

Track listing
The 12-inch single was also available on a one-sided cassette tape with the following track listing:
 "Paranoimia" (extended version) – 6:40
 "Paranoimia" (7-inch version) – 3:18
 "Why Me?" – 2:56
 "A Nation Rejects" – 2:57

Some later issues of the CD In Visible Silence, most notably the US version, include the single version in place of the original version, which did not include the Max Headroom vocals.

Matthew 9:38 is a verse in the ninth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament.

Content
In the original Greek according to Westcott-Hort for this verse is:
δεήθητε οὖν τοῦ Κυρίου τοῦ θερισμοῦ, ὅπως ἐκβάλῃ ἐργάτας εἰς τὸν θερισμὸν αὐτοῦ. 

In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads:
Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

The New International Version translates the passage as:
Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."

Analysis
There is some debate if "the Lord of the harvest," means Jesus, or God the Father. Jesus calls His Father, "the Lord of the vineyard" (Matt 21:40), and "the husbandman" (John 15:1) However it could easily be Jesus who sends his the labourers, i.e. the apostles. These labourers are alluded to in Psalm 126, "who sow in tears, shall reap in exultation," and are to be contrasted with the false labourers spoken of in Jeremiah 23:21, "I did not send prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied."

Commentary from the Church Fathers
Chrysostom: " He privately insinuates Himself to be the Lord; for it is He Himself who is Lord of the harvest. For if He sent the Apostles to reap what they had not sown, it is manifest that He sent them not to reap the things of others, but what He had sown by the Prophets. But since the twelve Apostles are the labourers, He said, Pray ye the Lord of the harvest, that he would send labourers into his harvest; and notwithstanding He added none to their number, but rather He multiplied those twelve many times, not by increasing their numbers, but by giving them more abundant grace."

Saint Remigius: " Or, He then increased their number when He chose the seventy and two, and then when many preachers were made what time the Holy Spirit descended upon the believers."

Chrysostom: " He shews us that it is a great gift that one should have the power of rightly preaching, in that He tells them that they ought to pray for it. Also we are here reminded of the words of John concerning the threshing-floor, and the fan, the chaff, and the wheat."

Hilary of Poitiers: " Figuratively; When salvation was given to the Gentiles, then all cities and towns were enlightened by the power and entrance of Christ, and escaped every former sickness and infirmity. The Lord pities the people troubled with the violence of the unclean Spirit, and sick under the burden of the Law, and having no shepherd at hand to bestow on them the guardianship of the Holy Spirit. But of that gift there was a most abundant fruit, whose plenty far exceeded the multitude of those that drank thereof; how many soever take of it, yet an inexhaustible supply remains; and because it is profitable that there should be many to minister it, He bids us ask the Lord of the harvest, that God would provide a supply of reapers for the ministration of that gift of the Holy Spirit which was made ready; for by prayer this gift is poured out upon us from God.""
