Abell 2597 is a galaxy cluster located about a billion light years from Earth in the constellation of Aquarius. It is a giant elliptical galaxy that is surrounded by a sprawling cluster of other galaxies. In 2018, the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) captured cosmic weather event using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) that has never been seen before -  a cluster of towering intergalactic gas clouds raining in on the supermassive black hole at the center of the huge galaxy. The black hole draws in vast store of cold molecular gas and sprays it back again in an ongoing cycle so that it resembles a gigantic fountain.

The Connecticut Department of Public Works (DPW) is a defunct department of the American state of Connecticut. In 2013 it was transferred to the Connecticut Department of Administrative Services.

History
During the 1990s and early 2000s The DPW suffered under the corrupt eight-year leadership of Commissioner Theodore R. Anson. Anson was appointed Commissioner of the DPW by Governor John G. Rowland in 1995 following a career in the private sector. Anson resigned in September 2003 after the Hartford Courant reported that he had taken a bribe in the form of free design work from the architecture firm Kaestle Boos Associates. Governor Rowland subsequently appointed James T. Fleming to lead the Department.

In July 2013 the department became part of the Connecticut Department of Administrative Services (DAS).

Calcium concentration microdomains (CCMs) are sites in a cell's cytoplasm with a localised high calcium ion (Ca2+) concentration. They are found immediately around the intracellular opening of calcium channels; when a calcium channel opens, the Ca2+ concentration in the adjacent CCM increases up to several hundred micromolar (μM). These microdomains take part in calcium signaling, which has a diverse range of potential outcomes.

Calcium concentration microdomains can be visualised with fluorescence microscopy by using aequorin as a reporter protein.

Ion Channel Process
The actions of the Na-K-ATPase enzyme relate with the creation of calcium-signaling microdomains. Na-K-ATPase is a protein that pumps Na+ and K+ across the cell membrane. Na-K-ATPase helps to keep the body at equilibrium by the movement of those ions through the plasma membrane. This ion pump helps to reset the movement of ions during an action potential by sending K+ into the cell and sending Na+ out of the cell. Since it opposes the normal flow of ions during an action potential, energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is used. Calcium is also regulated using this Na-K-ATPase due to the enzyme's interactions with protein and non-protein molecules.
The main interaction that keeps calcium regulated is the binding of Na-K-ATPase to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3). IP3 is a secondary messenger that helps to send neuronal signals through the body. The neuronal cells have the calcium-signaling microdomains in the cytoplasm right next to the pre- and post-synaptic calcium channels in the nerve cells. Figure 1 is an example of how Na-K-ATPase forms the calcium-signaling microdomain.

The astrocytes which are star-shaped glial cells in the central nervous system are the main cells with these calcium-signaling micro domains. In fact, a rigorous mathematical analysis in astrocytes has shown that localized inflow of Ca2+ remains localized, despite the diffusion of cytosolic Ca2+ and potential storage in the endoplasmic reticulum.

A Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) is also involved in regulating the amount of calcium in cells. The NCX switches the intra- and extra-cellular amounts of Na+ and Ca2+. NCX works together with Na-K-ATPase to create calcium concentration microdomains in certain cells like astrocytes discussed above. Specific forms of Na-K-ATPase, the α2 or α3 isoforms, actually interact with the NCX in the formation of the calcium microdomains in astrocytes.

He was a commander of this force in Sankuru and Kabinda.
He commanded the Lusambo territorial security battalion from 29 June 1941 to 6 November 1944, and participated in suppressing the mutiny of the XIV battalion in Lualabourg in February and March 1944, for which he was cited in the order of the day.

De Valkeneer was promoted to territorial administrator 1st class (1 July 1943), principal territorial administrator (1 June 1944), and assistant district commissioner (1 January 1949).
He was district commissioner from 1 April 1953 to 31 December 1956, then provincial commissioner from 1 January 1957 to 31 March 1959.
He became acting governor of Équateur in 1957 in place of Odon Spitaels.
He was governor of Governor of Équateur from 1 April 1959 to 1 July 1960.
He was succeeded by Laurent Eketebi, the first Congolese governor of the province.

De Valkeneer was involved in many veterinary matters, particularly in bovine brucellosis and the means to completely eradicate this illness.
De Valkeneer married twice, first in 1931 to Suzanne Marie Alix Briard (1903–1964), then to Berthe Van Campenhout (1909–1987).

I the South (Io Sud, IS), was a conservative regionalist political party in Italy, which has been a faction of Brothers of Italy since 2014.

The party emerged in 2009 as an Apulian split from National Alliance (AN) led by Adriana Poli Bortone, shortly before AN was merged into The People of Freedom (PdL). Soon after the party approached to the Union of the Centre (UdC) in order to form a centrist party as an alternative to the PdL, and in this perspective Poli Bortone joined UdC in a common group in the Senate.

At the 2009 provincial elections the party won 7.3% in Lecce (while Poli Bortone won 21.9% as candidate for President supported also by the UdC), 3.4% in Taranto and 2.0% in Brindisi. In the 2010 Apulian regional election Poli Bortone ran for President supported also by the regional section of the Union of the Centre, that is the main component of UdC. Poli Bortone gained 8.7% of the vote, while IS gained a mere 2.9%.

Since then, Poli Bortone distanced herself from the UdC and started to prepare her return to the centre-right. In February 2011 she joined the new National Cohesion group in the Senate and, as of March, she is headed to the formation of a joint "Party of the South" along with Force of the South and We the South. On 14 July 2011 the three parties jointly launched the Federation of the South, later Great South.

Although its base remains Apulia, the party has opened regional and provincial sections also in Basilicata, Campania and Calabria.

In 2013 Great South is merged in the new Forza Italia, while IS took part in a project together with The Right of Francesco Storace, FLI of Roberto Menia and Tricolour Flame of Luca Romagnoli, to form a new party that will inspire for the National Alliance.

In 2014 Poli Bortone joined Brothers of Italy.

On 16 May 2015 Brothers of Italy decides the suspension of Adriana Poli Bortone, after her candidature with Forza Italia at 2015 Apulian regional election.

On 29 February 2016 Poli Bortone formalizes her adhesion to Forza Italia, along with her party I the South.

General George Whichcote (1794 – 26 August 1891) was a senior officer in the British Army.

He was born the fourth son of Thomas Whichcote, 5th Baronet of Aswarby Park, Lincolnshire. After attending Rugby School he enlisted as a volunteer in the 52nd (Oxfordshire) Regiment of Foot and received a commission as an ensign in 1811.

That same year he sailed on HMS Pompee to join the British army in the Spanish peninsula, where his regiment, together with the 43rd and the 95th regiments, formed the Light Division. 
After taking part in the Battle of Sabugal in April and in the Battle of El Bodón in September he assisted in the siege of Ciudad Rodrigo and the Battle of Badajoz in 1812. Made a lieutenant in July he was present at the battles of Battle of Salamanca and Vittoria, where the 52nd carried the village of Magarita. He took part with his regiment in the combats in the Pyrenees in July and August, the Battle of Vera in October, the Battle of Nivelle in November, the Battle of the Nive in December, the Battle of Orthes in February, 1814 and the fighting at Tarbes in March. At the final Battle of Toulouse in April, he was the first man in the British army to enter the town when, having observed the French retreat when in command of an advanced picket, he pressed on to take possession of the town. At the end of the war the regiment was put on garrison duty at Castelsarrasin on the Garonne, and afterwards was sent to Ireland.

Whichcote then took part in the Battle of Waterloo, where the 52nd completed the rout of the Imperial Guard. When the 52nd was afterwards ordered to Botany Bay, Whichcote exchanged into the Buffs. In 1818 he was promoted captain, and in 1822 exchanged into the 4th Dragoon Guards, where was made major in 1825, lieutenant-colonel in 1838, and colonel in 1851. In 1825 he was placed on half-pay and made major-general, promoted to lieutenant-general in 1864, and full general on 5 December 1871.

He died on 26 August 1891 at Meriden, near Coventry, where he had resided since retiring from active service, and was buried in St Laurence's churchyard there on 31 August, one of the two surviving officers of the English army who had been present at Waterloo. In 1842 he had married Charlotte Sophia, the daughter of Philip Monckton. They had no children.
