The Washington Policy Center (WPC) is a think tank based in the state of Washington. The organization's stated mission is "to promote sound public policy based on free-market solutions." It has a statewide staff of 25 and offices in Seattle, Olympia, Spokane, and Richland. The organization is divided into eight research centers: Agriculture, Education, Environment, Government Reform, Health Care, Small Business, Transportation, and Worker Rights. WPC is an affiliate of the State Policy Network, a nonprofit organization that serves as a network for conservative and libertarian think tanks focusing on state-level policy in the United States.

WPC operates a free public-service website, WashingtonVotes.org, which tracks what bills state legislators introduce and support. WashingtonVotes.org provides a roll call service to state media outlets while the legislature is in session.

The organization uncovered an error in Sound Transit's defense in a $500 million class-action lawsuit filed by taxpayers regarding the collection of car tab tax charges. The state Attorney General's office acknowledged the error and declined to take Sound Transit's side in the case, pulling out just one hour prior to a scheduled hearing before the State Supreme Court. The constitutionality of the car-tab collection levied by Sound Transit was upheld by the State Supreme Court in February 2020.

Salome, also known as Salome with the Head of John the Baptist (Spanish: Salomè con la testa di Giovanni Battista), is an oil painting by the Venetian painter Titian, made in about 1550, and currently in the collection of the Museo del Prado in Madrid. It is not to be confused with other compositions of Salome and Judith by Titian.

Subject 

Salome, in Jewish history, was the name borne by three women of the Herod dynasty. Titian depicts the daughter of Herodias by her first husband Herod Philip. She was the wife successively of Philip the Tetrarch and Aristobulus, son of Herod of Chalcis. This Salome is the only one of the three who is mentioned in the New Testament, and only in connection with the execution of John the Baptist. Herod Antipas, pleased by her dancing, offered her a reward "unto the half of my kingdom"; instructed by Herodias, she asked for John the Baptist's "head in a charger".

History 

The picture was painted about 1550. It was possibly once in the collection of Charles I of England, and later entered the collection of Charles II of Spain. Crowe and Cavalcaselle called it "evidently [the] work of an imitator". Charles Ricketts ascribed to the later 1560s supposed retouches by Titian upon the Salome of the Prado, which he considered "otherwise a poor studio variant" of the Lavinia with the Charger, painted in the 1550s. Walter Gronau, with others, have thought it an original work by Titian.

Analysis 
The composition of the painting is similar to the portrait of Lavinia at Berlin. According to Georg Gronau, "The colouring is more brilliant, deeper, in the Madrid picture."

Provenance 
 Collection of the 1st Marquess of Leganés, 1652–1655;
 Spanish Royal Collection (purchased from the estate of the Marquess of Leganés, 1652–1655;
 Royal Alcázar of Madrid, 1666;
 New Royal Palace of Madrid, "secretaría de Estado" ["Secretary of State"], 1814–1818, no. 659?).

NGC 4607 is an edge-on spiral galaxy located about 56 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. NGC 4607 was discovered by astronomer R. J. Mitchell  on April 24, 1854. The galaxy is a member of the Virgo Cluster.

Interaction with NGC 4606
NGC 4607 may be a possible companion of NGC 4606 and they are separated from each other by a projected distance of about ~. Despite this, NGC 4607 does not show any evidence in the optical or H I of having been tidally disturbed unlike NGC 4606. This would be inconsistent if a strong tidal interaction has occurred between the two galaxies. Also, both galaxies' redshifts differ by about 600 km/s making it unlikely that they are a gravitationally bound pair.

The 1993 election for Mayor of Los Angeles took place on April 20, 1993, with a run-off election on June 8, 1993. This was the first race in 64 years that an incumbent was not on the ballot. It marked the first time in 24 years that retiring Mayor Tom Bradley was not on the ballot, after five consecutive victories starting in 1973. Richard Riordan became the first Republican mayor elected in 36 years.

Municipal elections in California, including Mayor of Los Angeles, are officially nonpartisan; candidates' party affiliations do not appear on the ballot.

Election 
After the retirement of Tom Bradley, the seat was open for the first time since the 1929 election when incumbent George E. Cryer retired. Many city council members ran for the post, including Michael Woo, Joel Wachs, Nate Holden, and Ernani Bernardi. Other local area politicians, including Assemblyman Richard Katz, Deputy Mayor Linda Greigo, and Board of Recreation and Parks Commissioner Richard Riordan. 

Riordan used $4.2 million during the campaign, with much of the donations to him from the more conservative San Fernando Valley, Westside, and Harbor area. In the primary election, Riordan and Woo advanced to the runoff.

Riordan and Woo criticized each other over their ability to fight crime and about the economy, with Riordan calling Woo a career politician and Woo saying that Riordan was a "symbol of 1980s greed." In the runoff election, Riordan defeated Woo, with the Jewish population in Los Angeles seen by some as the defining factor for Riordan's win. Some newspapers also said that Riordan's hiring of gay staffers helped bolster the vote from gay and lesbians in the city as well.

Jukka Jernvall (born 1963) is a Finnish evolutionary biologist in the field of evo-devo research. His research has centered on the interplay of ecology, evolution and developmental biology, especially of the mammalian dentition. Jernvall is  currently an Academy Professor at the Institute of Biotechnology, University of Helsinki.

Jernvall received his Ph.D. in evolutionary biology in 1995. His thesis investigating the evolution and development of mammalian molar cusp patterns was supervised by Irma Thesleff and Mikael Fortelius. This led to the description of enamel knot as molecular signaling centers in teeth. He also discovered and coined the term ‘secondary enamel knot’, previously overlooked signaling centers regulating tooth cusp development. This discovery helped to mechanistically link molecular regulation of growth and differentiation to shape. Later, Jernvall has focused on the modelling of three-dimensional dentition phenotypes. He has studied why certain dentition patterns arise several times during the course of evolution, while other patterns occur only rarely. Jernvall's team has developed several methods from computer modeling of organ development to three-dimensional analysis of biological shape development and function.  Current research ranges from mutant mice in the laboratory to evolutionary diversity in the fossil record and to seal genomics.
