Peepeekisis Cree Nation (Band number 384)(, pîhpîkisîs, literal meaning: Sparrow Hawk) is a Cree First Nation in southern Saskatchewan, Canada. Its reserves include Peepeekisis 81; Treaty Four Reserve Grounds 77, which is shared with 32 other bands; and Peepeekisis Cree Nation, which is located  east of Balcarres, Saskatchewan, on Highway 10.

Population 
A census report for 2021 by Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada of the Government of Canada placed the total registered population at 3,148, with 726 people on a reserve or other band land and 2,422 off reserve.

History 
Chief Can-ah-ha-cha-pew (Making Ready the Bow) signed Treaty 4 on September 21, 1874. Upon his death, his son Peepeekisis (Sparrow Hawk) became chief, and that same year the band moved from the Cypress Hills to settle on a reserve in the File Hills, about  east of Balcarres. 

In 1896, when Indian Agent W.M. Graham arrived at the agency, the band was without a leader and was unable to prevent Graham’s creation of the File Hills Colony (1898) on the reserve. The plan brought young male industrial school graduates (members of bands other than Peepeekisis) to live, farm and eventually become members of the Peepeekisis Band. The original Peepeekisis Band members were displaced from their homes and deprived of the use of their communal lands. Their complaints led in 1945 to questions raised about the validity of the transfers into the band, but it was not until 1986 that they were able to submit a specific claim to the Department of Indian Affairs. 

In 2004, the Indian Claims Commission found Canada in breach of its lawful obligations to the band, and recommended that the claim be accepted for negotiation under Canada’s Specific Claims Policy. It has yet to be settled. The reserve covers , with an additional share in the  of the Treaty 4 Reserve Grounds (Fort Qu’Appelle). The band’s infrastructure includes a band office, gymnasium, school, health clinic, and other maintenance facilities; it has a membership of 2,215 people, 607 of whom live on reserve.\

In 2021, the Peepeekisis Cree Nation and the federal government reached a $150 million settlement. On August 3, 2022, Marc Miller, the Minister of Crown–Indigenous Relations, apologized in Peepeekisis Cree Nation, acknowledging that the federal government's "radical social engineering" had resulted in cultural loss through restrictive land and household access as well as a ban on cultural practices.

In September 2022, the Peepeekisis Cree Nation completed its acquisition of the Temple Gardens Hotel & Spa in Moose Jaw.

Lavik og Brekke is a former municipality in the old Sogn og Fjordane county in Norway.  It is in the present-day municipalities of Gulen and Høyanger in Vestland county. It was part of the traditional district of Sogn.  The  municipality was located along the Sognefjorden, at the western end of the fjord, just east of the mouth.  The municipality existed from 1861 until 1905. The administrative center of Lavik og Brekke was the village of Lavik.  There were two churches in the municipality: Lavik Church in Lavik on the north side of the fjord and Brekke Church in Brekke on the south side of the fjord.

History
Lavik og Brekke was established as a municipality in 1861 as a merger between the municipalities of Lavik and Brekke, which were located along the Sognefjorden. Before the merger, Lavik had 926 inhabitants and Brekke had 898, giving the new municipality a population of 1,824.  On 1 January 1875, a part of Klævold municipality (to the west) with 90 inhabitants was moved to Lavik og Brekke.  On 1 January 1905, the municipality was split, reverting to their previous borders, leaving Lavik and Brekke as separate municipalities once again. Before the split Lavik og Brekke had a population of 2,164. Both Lavik and Brekke were later incorporated into other municipalities, with Lavik joining Høyanger and Brekke joining Gulen.

Name
The municipal name Lavik og Brekke () was created as a compound name by combining the names of the two predecessor municipalities. 

The first name comes from the old Lavik farm () since the first Lavik Church was built there. The first element has an uncertain meaning. One possibility is that it comes from the word  which means "pile" or "stack". The last element likely comes from the word  which means "inlet" or "cove". Historically the spelling has varied greatly. It was Laduigh in the 16th century, Laduig in the 17th century, Ladvig in the 18th century, Ladevig in the 19th century, and finally Lavik in the 20th century.

The second name comes from the old Brekke farm () since the first Brekke Church was built there. The name is identical to the word  which means "slope". Historically, the spelling of the name was not formalized until the 1800s, so spellings such as Breche, Bræcke, and Brække were also used.

Government
During its existence, this municipality was governed by a municipal council of directly elected representatives. The mayor was indirectly elected by a vote of the municipal council.

Mayors
The mayors () of Lavik og Brekke:

1861-1862: Peder Fredrik Hartwig
1863-1873: Lasse Ellingson
1873-1877: Peder Fredrik Hartwig
1878-1883: Matias Ellingsen
1884-1889: Mons H. Oppedal
1890-1901: Lasse J. Wergeland
1902-1904: Berge Instefjord

Wilhelm Heinrich Ackermann (25 June 1789, Auerbach, Saxony - 27 March 1848, Frankfurt) was a German teacher.

His father was higher priest in Auerbach, his two brothers worked as councillor in Dresden and as priest in Syrau. Wilhelm Ackermann learned on the college of Gotha, then beginning in 1807 studied theology in Leipzig. During his studies, he began teaching and found his vocation therein.

Asked by his uncle Rudolph Ackermann, a merchant from London, he began in 1811 to teach young Englishmen with whom he stayed for two years with the Swiss pedagogue Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi in Ifferten. Ackermann said he was learning daily from the ingenious old man, so plenty of inspirations.

In 1813 he entered the Freikorps of baron Ludwig Adolf Wilhelm von Lützow in an enthusiasm to free his fatherland. He served as rifleman and became officer on 26 August. On the same day Karl Theodor Körner fell. Ackermann and other officers dug the grave of their friend under an oak in Wöbbelin. During the Battle of the Göhrde, he captured a cannon and received the Iron cross of honour. He accompanied the corps until Paris.

After the peace treaty of 1814, Ackermann went to London where he worked as correspondent for the companies of his uncle. In winter, he travelled to Germany, where he visited the house of Theodor Körner. In London, he kept company with the teacher of elocution Alexander Graham Bell, whose rather passive teaching system contrasted with the tenets of Pestalozzi followed by Ackermann. Beginning in 1815, he travelled again to Ifferten with five pupils, and Dr. Bell followed soon. All attempts to convince Dr. Bell from the side of Pestalozzi and Ackermann remained fruitless. In the following years, Ackermann travels with his pupils or stays at friendly institutes.

In 1819, he reaches Frankfurt, where he accepts a regular teaching position at the Musterschule (4 July 1820), where he preferred to teach history and German. While there, he stood up for religious and political freedom, restricted by the resolutions of 28 June 1823. He remained in office until the end of the year 1847, when he retired with chest troubles.

Ackermann never married.

Whenever You're Ready is the second studio album by Seattle rock band Flop. The band's only major label release, the album was released in September 1993.

Recording 
Whenever You're Ready was recorded at Hanzsek Audio in Seattle, Washington. The record was produced by punk-era producer Martin Rushent.

Release
Whenever You're Ready was released on 21 September 1993. The record was issued in Europe on CD by 550 Music, in Japan through Epic, and in the United States by 550, Epic and Frontier Records jointly. On cassette, the album saw release in the US through 550. Whenever You're Ready was made available digitally in 2019.

Musical style 
The music of Whenever You're Ready has been described as "idiosyncratic power pop that paired soaring, Beach Boy harmonies and fuzzy guitars".

Commercial performance
Whenever You're Ready was apparently deemed a commercial failure by Sony, with the record failing to chart. Nevertheless, J.D. Considine of the Baltimore Sun remarked that the band were "doing pretty well" with the record, having attracted college radio airplay and even making an appearance on MTV's "120 Minutes".

Allusions
A demo version of the album track "Julie Francavilla" appeared in the 1996 documentary Hype!, and was included on Hype! The Motion Picture Soundtrack.

Gethsemane Episcopal Church is an historic church in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  It is one of the oldest extant churches in Minneapolis and is significant for its Gothic Revival architecture.

Architect Edward Stebbins modeled the church on small Gothic style churches in rural England. It is proportioned rather broadly, as opposed having tall proportions, which is rather unusual for churches designed in the late 19th century. The area surrounding the church was primarily residential when it was first built, but it is now surrounded by commercial development.

Faced with reduced membership and financial struggle, the final Sunday morning service at Gethsemane will occur in November 2019.

{{DISPLAYTITLE:L-Ribonucleic acid aptamer}}

An L-ribonucleic acid aptamer (L-RNA aptamer, trade name Spiegelmer) is an RNA-like molecule built from L-ribose units. It is an artificial oligonucleotide named for being a mirror image of natural oligonucleotides. L-RNA aptamers are a form of aptamers. Due to their L-nucleotides, they are highly resistant to degradation by nucleases. L-RNA aptamers are considered potential drugs and are currently being tested in clinical trials.

Features

Chemical properties

L-RNA aptamers, built using L-ribose, are the enantiomers of natural oligonucleotides, which are made with D-ribose. Nucleic acid aptamers, including L-RNA aptamers, contain  adenosine monophosphate, guanosine monophosphate, cytidine monophosphate, uridine monophosphate, a phosphate group, a nucleobase and a ribose sugar.

Biological characteristics
Like other aptamers, L-RNA aptamers are able to bind molecules such as peptides, proteins, and substances of low molecular weight. The affinity of L-RNA aptamers to their target molecules often lies in the pico to nanomolar range and is thus comparable to antibodies.

L-RNA aptamers themselves have low antigenicity. In contrast to other aptamers, L-RNA aptamers have high stability in blood serum, since they are less susceptible to be cleaved hydrolytically by enzymes. They are excreted by the kidneys in a short time due to their low molar mass (which is below the renal threshold).

L-RNA aptamers modified with a higher molar mass, such as PEGylated L-RNA aptamers, show a prolonged plasma half-life.

Production
Unlike other aptamers, L-RNA aptamers are not directly made using systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX), as L-nucleic acids are not amenable to enzymatic methods, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), used in SELEX. Therefore, the selection is done with mirrored target molecules.

Reflection of the target molecule
The first step is the production of the target's enantiomer. In the case of peptides and small proteins that are produced synthetically, an enantiomer is made using synthetic D-amino acids. If the target is a larger protein molecule, beyond synthetic abilities, the enantiomer of an epitope is produced.

SELEX
Conventional (up to 1016 different oligonucleotides) existing molecule library serves as a starting point for the subsequent SELEX process. Selection, separation, and amplification using the mirror image of the target molecule is performed.

Sequencing and synthesis
The sequence of the oligonucleotide selected using SELEX is determined with the help of DNA sequencing. This information is used for the synthesis of the oligonucleotide's enantiomer, the L-RNA aptamer, using L-nucleotides.

Use
L-RNA aptamers have been obtained for the chemokines CCL2 and CXCL12, the complement components C5a and ghrelin. They are currently in preclinical or clinical development. Proof-of-concept for an anti-CCL2/MCP-1 L-RNA aptamers has recently been demonstrated in diabetic nephropathy patients. They can also be used as diagnostic agents.

Sentimental Music is a circa 1913 painting by Arthur Dove. It is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.  It is not currently on display.

Early history and creation 
Dove's work has significant musical influence.  He was interested in music contemporary to his time, in particular jazz improvisation and the work of Igor Stravinsky.  It is a product of Dove's interest in synesthesia.  He and his friend Georgia O'Keeffe "wanted to be able to interpret the spirit of sound into paint."

Description and interpretation 
The work is an abstract depiction of musical instruments and the music that they create.  Francine Prose described the painting as "sensual" and tells us that Dove found it "comparable to music" and "in 2/4 time".

Influence 
It is pastel on paperboard and considered part of the modernist movement.
