Spennymoor Greyhound Stadium was a greyhound racing stadium in Spennymoor, County Durham.

Origins
Spennymoor gained its name from being a large area of moorland covered with thorn bushes and was founded around 1850. During 1938 the White City (Newcastle) company that owned the White City Stadium in Newcastle at Scotswood Bridge unsuccessfully attempted to introduce racing in the town. After the war a site for a new greyhound track was proposed in the coal mining town in an area near the Binchester Colliery Railway. The old brick works off Merrington Lane near Low Spennymoor was chosen and a greyhound track was constructed on the west side of the lane to provide entertainment for the local population including many of the coal miners who lived nearby.

Opening
Spennymoor began greyhound racing as an independent track (unaffiliated to a governing body). The opening meeting was held on 30 June 1950.

Independent Years
During the 1960s the independent track used an 'Inside Sumner' hare system and had race distances of 300, 500 and 700 yards, race day was Monday
at 7pm and there was a licensed club for patrons and 60 kennels for the greyhounds.

By 1980 there were additional race nights on Thursday and Saturday evenings and there were six bookmakers in attendance with trials held on a Sunday.
The immediate area had changed significantly over the years with a very large Merrington Lane Industrial Estate constructed to the south-east and the smaller Coulson Industrial Estate to the north replacing the old miners housing.

Changes also took place at the stadium with a development company owning it at one stage before Neville Porter purchased it in 1991. The track introduced the Northern Derby and trainers such as Ted Soppitt frequented the venue under Porter before the track came under the control of
Paul Stephenson.

NGRC
The stadium holds the post war record for the shortest spell as an affiliated track from spring 1997 until January 1998. Paul Stephenson had attempted to join the National Greyhound Racing Club (NGRC) under the permit scheme before applying for a full licence. The licence was eventually granted and Spennymoor started trialling under rules before racing under the NGRC banner for the first time in June 1997. The main distances of 270 and 460 metres were mainly handicap races and Sunday racing was inaugurated.

Closure
The racing only lasted until 30 January 1998 when the stadium closed. After closing the site began to become unkept and a fire burned down anything of value at a later date. The area was cleaned up and bought by Woodford Land a development company who gained permission for 200 homes before selling to Dunelm Castle Homes and Homes by Woodford. The only reminder of the stadium is the nearby public house that has stood for 100 years and changed its name to the 'Winning Post'.

Alvøen or Alvøy is a manor house located on a historic industrial site in the Laksevåg borough of the city of Bergen in Vestland county, Norway. Alvøen Manor was once one of the grander private homes in Bergen.

History
Alvøen is the site one of Norway's oldest industrial communities and one of the best preserved industrial locations. In 1626, King Christian IV of Denmark granted the right to establish  a gunpowder mill on the site. The mill was destroyed by fire in 1733, but rebuilt. Didrich Jansen Fasmer (1706-1770)  improved it and built another gun mill in the 1760s. Towards the end of the 1700s, Alvøen became an  industrial site with working houses attached to the factories. Later it started production of saltpeter, linseed oil and paper. Hendrik Jansen Fasmer (1766-1836) founded the paper mill during 1797.  In 1858, Hendrik Fasmer (1835–1930) built a new papermill in Alvøen and from the late 1800s the production was concentrated on finer grades in different blends of cloths and cellulose. Alvøens Papirfabrik A/S  manufacturing paper in Alvøen until stopped production in 1981. At that time, it was the oldest paper mill in the country. The specialty was finer paper for documents and from 1908, supplier of paper for Norwegian banknotes.

Alvøen Manor was the main residence of the owners of the paper factory of Alvøen. Alvøen Manor was originally built as a countryside retreat for members of the Fasmer family in 1797. Eventually the rococo main building was surrounded by several gardens.
Alvøen Manor and the factory were opened as a museum (Alvøen Hovedbygning) in 1983, as a branch of the West Norway Museum of Decorative Art. It is now managed by the Bergen City Museum. The site includes Alvøen Manor together with some forty worker cottages and production buildings dating from the 1800s.

Alvøen lies at the Vatlestraumen strait, west of Bergen, where the cargo ship Rocknes hit an underwater rock and capsized in January 2004. The wreckage was towed to Alvøen, stabilised and partly examined, before being taken to the CCB base at Ågotnes in Sotra for further examination and recovery.

The Fraser spiral illusion is an optical illusion that was first described by the British psychologist Sir James Fraser (1863–1936) in 1908.

The illusion is also known as the false spiral, or by its original name, the twisted cord illusion. The overlapping black arc segments appear to form a spiral; however, the arcs are a series of concentric circles.

The visual distortion is produced by combining a regular line pattern (the circles) with misaligned parts (the differently colored strands). Zöllner's illusion and the café wall illusion are based on a similar principle, like many other visual effects, in which a sequence of tilted elements causes the eye to perceive phantom twists and deviations.

The illusion is augmented by the spiral components in the checkered background.  It is a unique illusion, where the observer can verify the concentric strands manually.  When the strands are highlighted in a different colour, it becomes obvious to the observer that no spiral is present.

The trutruka (spanish trutruca) is a wind instrument, part of the trumpet family.  It is played mainly amongst the Mapuche of Chile and Argentina. It produces a sound that is loud and severe, with few tonal variations.

Description

The instrument has two main parts, the body and horn. The body is made from Chilean bamboo (Chusquea culeou) and is between 2 and 5 meters long and 2 to 10 cm in diameter. The cane is cut lengthwise into two halves and then lined with string or wire wool and animal gut, usually horse, to prevent air escaping. 

The notes are produced from the variations in the pressure caused by blowing and also by the position of the lips.

"If You Think You Know How to Love Me" is a song by British rock band Smokie. It was first released in June 1975 as a single and appeared later on the album Changing All the Time. Like the band's first single "Pass It Around", the song was composed by Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman.

Upon its release, "If You Think You Know How to Love Me" became a chart success all over Europe, peaking at No. 2 in Ireland, No. 3 in Sweden, No. 6 in Norway, No. 8 in Germany and No. 15 in the Netherlands. It took six weeks for the song to debut in the UK Singles Chart on 19 July 1975. After a few days, Smokie appeared on BBC show Top of the Pops, and this helped the song to climb the charts. The single eventually peaked at No. 3 on the UK charts, during a nine-week stay on that chart.

A second version of the song was included in the 1988 album All Fired Up, sung by Alan Barton. The original 1975 version was sung by Chris Norman.

Pat Benatar recorded the song in 1979 for her debut album In the Heat of the Night, released as the second single from that album in October 1979.

Prenyltransferases (PTs) are a class of enzymes that transfer allylic prenyl groups to acceptor molecules.  Prenyl transferases commonly refer to isoprenyl diphosphate syntheses (IPPSs). Prenyltransferases are a functional category and include several enzyme groups that are evolutionarily independent.

Prenyltransferases are commonly divided into two classes, cis (or Z) and trans (or E), depending upon the stereochemistry of the resulting products.  Examples of trans-prenyltranferases include dimethylallyltranstransferase, and geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase. Cis-prenyltransferases include dehydrodolichol diphosphate synthase (involved in the production of a precursor to dolichol). Trans- and cis-prenyltransferases are evolutionarily unrelated to each other and there is no sequential and structural similarity.

The beta subunit of the farnesyltransferases is responsible for peptide binding. Squalene-hopene cyclase is a bacterial enzyme that catalyzes the cyclization of squalene into hopene, a key step in hopanoid (triterpenoid) metabolism. Lanosterol synthase () (oxidosqualene-lanosterol cyclase) catalyzes the cyclization of (S)-2,3-epoxysqualene to lanosterol, the initial precursor of cholesterol, steroid hormones and vitamin D in vertebrates and of ergosterol in fungi. Cycloartenol synthase () (2,3-epoxysqualene-cycloartenol cyclase) is a plant enzyme that catalyzes the cyclization of (S)-2,3-epoxysqualene to cycloartenol.

The English Settlement is the name given to a planned settlement of some  in the Illinois Territory. It was founded by Morris Birkbeck and George Flower in the early nineteenth century.  In 1816 the two men chose the location, bought the land, and eventually brought over about 200 settlers from England.  The chief surviving town is Albion, Illinois, although some of Birkbeck's followers joined the Owenite utopian community at New Harmony, Indiana after his death.  The well funded and organized English settlement was important both for its influence on pioneer agriculture and the influence of its leaders on rejecting slavery in Illinois.
