Sinan Selen (born 1972) is a German jurist and the Vice-President of the German Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV). Selen is the first high-ranking officer with a migrant background in the German intelligence services.

Early life and education 
Selen was born in Istanbul to secular parents. At the age of four, he and his parents moved to Cologne, where his parents were journalists at the German broadcaster Deutsche Welle. In high school he wrote for the students' journal. He was also involved as a paramedic with the St. John ambulance service. He studied European law at the University of Cologne.

Career 
In 2000 Selen began his career at the Federal Criminal Police Office where he was assigned to the security detail of Chancellor Gerhard Schröder and Minister of the Interior Otto Schily. After the terrorist attacks on the twin towers in New York on 11 September 2001 he searched for traces of evidence that the attackers left in Germany. In July 2006 he organized the hunt for two Lebanese terrorists who placed two bombs on regional trains at the Cologne main station. The attack failed as the bombs did not explode. After an extensive review of videos from surveillance cameras, one of the perpetrators was captured in the train station in Kiel. Afterwards, his accomplice in Lebanon surrendered as well. 

Selen entered the Ministry of the Interior in 2006, and initially his work was focused on the ban of the Salafist organization Millatu Ibrahim. He served as the head of the international counter-terrorism department until 2009. Between 2009 and 2012 he was assigned to the Headquarters of the Federal Police in the counter-piracy and human trafficking department. From 2012 onwards he worked in the Ministry of the Interior where in early 2016 he was given the task to coordinate between Turkey and Germany on terror-related issues. As a result, he and the diplomat Emily Haber often travelled to Ankara, Turkey. In their conversations with the Turkish authorities, he refused to extradite members of the Gülen movement, and conversed through a translator in the German language most of the time. 

From 2016 Selen was in charge of security for the travel agency TUI. In January 2019 he assumed the role of Vice President of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), succeeding Thomas Haldenwang who was appointed president of the BfV.

Reception 
Selen's appointment to the vice-presidency of the BfV caused concerns across the political spectrum. The left was worried that he would cause difficulties for Kurdish sympathizers of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and left-wing Turkish political activists, while the right accused him of being a Muslim, which he actually is not. The Greens welcomed his appointment.

Tarmaber (Amharic: ጣርማበር) is a woreda in Amhara Region, Ethiopia. It includes a homonymous mountain pass and road tunnel. Located at the eastern edge of the Ethiopian Highlands in the Semien Shewa Zone, Termaber is bordered on the south by Ankober, on the southwest by Basona Werana, on the west by Mojana Wadera, on the northwest by Menz Mam Midir, on the northeast by Kewet, and on the southeast by the Afar Region. Towns in this woreda include Debre Sina and Doqaqit.

This woreda was originally named Mafud Mezezo Mojana, which is the name the 1994 national census used for it, but the name was changed at some point over the next five years. In 1999, the woreda of Mojana Wadera was split off from Termaber, and a kebele transferred to it from Kewet.

Tegulet, the ancient capital of the Ethiopian Empire, lies in this woreda. The city was established in 1270 by Yekuno Amlak after he overthrew the Zagwe Dynasty. Although G.W.B. Huntingford speculates that the settlement of Tegulet first became the capital of Ethiopia during Wedem Arad's reign. In 1528 the city was seized by the forces of Ahmad ibn Ibrahim who ordered the destruction of the city and it's royal residence.

Demographics
Based on the 2007 national census conducted by the Central Statistical Agency of Ethiopia (CSA), this woreda has a total population of 84,481, an increase of over the 1994 census, of whom 42,812 are men and 41,669 women; 10,304 or 12.20% are urban inhabitants. With an area of 543.33 square kilometers, Termaber has a population density of 155.49, which is greater than the Zone average of 115.3 persons per square kilometer. A total of 19,993 households were counted in this woreda, resulting in an average of 4.23 persons to a household, and 19,370 housing units. The majority of the inhabitants practiced Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity, with 97.43% reporting that as their religion, while 2.37% of the population said they were Muslim.

The 1994 national census reported a total population for this woreda of 99,402 in 17,787 households, of whom 51,537 were men and 47,865 were women; 8,378 or 8.43% of its population were urban dwellers. The three largest ethnic groups reported in Termaber were the Amhara (93.78%), the Oromo (3.11%), and the Argobba (2.65%); all other ethnic groups made up 0.46% of the population. Amharic was spoken as a first language by 96.93%, and Oromiffa was spoken by 2.76%; the remaining 0.31% spoke all other primary languages reported. The majority of the inhabitants practiced Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity, with 94.74% reporting that as their religion, while 5.15% were Muslim.

She then earned a master's degree in organic chemistry while working as a teaching assistant. Her professors included Anna J. Harrison, Mary Lura Sherrill, Emma Perry Carr, and Lucy Pickett.

Education and career 

Although she was hired as a research chemist by Pittsburgh Paint, she was not allowed to work in laboratories once she became pregnant. Instead, she was reassigned to do library research work on emulsion polymerization. While her husband became a faculty member at the Medical College of Wisconsin, Marie Roth worked in private industry and taught undergraduate courses at various universities. She worked at the Medical College of Wisconsin in West Bend in the late 1970s.

In 1982, she was the editor of the Amalgamator, the bulletin of the Milwaukee section of the American Chemical Society.  In 1985, she became chair of the Milwaukee section of the ACS.

William Ray (c. 1884 – 6 or 7 June 1953) was an English-born academic in Adelaide, South Australia.

History
Ray was born in Manchester, England, the youngest son of William Ray (c. 1844 – 10 June 1932), and emigrated with his parents to South Australia, settling in North Adelaide. Young William was educated at Queen's School, North Adelaide and St Peter's College, then studied medicine at the University of Adelaide, where he had a brilliant career, culminating in a Rhodes Scholarship, which took him in 1907 to Magdalen College, Oxford, followed by pathology work at the Lister laboratory, for which research work ("concerning passive immunity in relation to infectious diseases") he was awarded the Philip Walker Studentship in pathology of £200 per year for three years.

He returned to Adelaide in 1913, and was appointed to the Adelaide Hospital staff as an in-patient physician, which he filled for 20 years.

He  also served as lecturer in the University of Adelaide Faculty of Medicine and acting Dean in 1926 during Prof. Frederic Wood-Jones' absences, and when Wood-Jones resigned to take a position at the University of Hawaii, was appointed to the post for the remainder of 1926–27.

In January 1938 he was appointed Director-General of Medical Studies at the university.

Ray was for many years a member of the University Council and the Council of St. Mark's College.

He served as Police Surgeon from 1927 (or earlier) to 1936, and was recognised as one of Australia's pre-eminent authorities on medico-legal affairs. His successor was Dr. Arthur Walter Sydney James Welch.

Family
Ray married Mona Carleton Parker (1882 – 4 April 1953) in Whittlesford, Cambridgeshire on 18 June 1910. They had a son and daughter:
John Ray, cricketer for Adelaide district, later a practising medical doctor in South Yarra, Melbourne 
Jocelyn Ray also lived in Melbourne.

Walter Vernon Ray S.M. (1880 – 7 March 1952) was a brother. He married Clarice Lilian Parker (born 1884) in 1910. Clarice and Mona were not sisters.
