The Reader's Digest National Word Power Challenge was an annual vocabulary competition in the United States for youth in sixth, seventh, or eighth grade.  It was sponsored by Reader's Digest magazine.

Competition

Levels

School 
Competition began at school level.  Typically, teachers gave students 25-question multiple-choice tests.  Classroom winners then competed with other classroom winners from the same grade to determine the school-wide grade-level champion.  The school champion then took a multiple-choice test which determined the top 100 students in the state.

State 
The top 100 students were invited to a state competition, where they were given 25 multiple-choice questions to determine the top ten.  The top ten then went through a few rounds of questions to determine the state champion.  The state champion advanced to national competition.

National 
Students from every state, Washington, D.C., and one student from a Department of Defense school got to compete at national level.  The students took a 25-question multiple-choice test, with the top ten scorers going on to compete in a nationally televised event.  The moderator was a celebrity; Al Roker was a regular.

Prizes 
 All students at the state level received treat bags.
 The top 10 students at the state level received Reader's Digest books.
 All students at the national level received treat bags.
 All state winners were offered free trips to the location of the national competition (usually Florida).
 Scholarships were awarded at the national level:
 First place: $25,000
 Second place: $15,000
 Third place: $10,000

Current status 
In 2007, the RDNWPC website stated that the competition would not be held for the 2007-2008 year.  The Reader's Digest website no longer mentions the RDNWPC.

The Tufts Jumbos are the varsity intercollegiate athletic programs of Tufts University, in Medford, Massachusetts. The Jumbos compete at NCAA Division III level as member of the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC). Like all Division III schools, Tufts does not offer athletic scholarships. Coed and women's sailing are the only Division I sports at the school.

Tufts won the NACDA Directors' Cup in 2021-22 as the most successful team in NCAA Division III that year.

Sports sponsored

Football

The Tufts football program is one of the oldest in the country. The 1,000th game in team history was played during the 2006 season. Historians point to a Tufts versus Harvard game in 1875 as the first game of college football using American football rules.  The team plays at the Ellis Oval, located on the southwest corner of the campus.

Sailing

The Jumbos particularly stand out in sailing. The team competes in the New England Intercollegiate Sailing Association, and has won the Leonard M. Fowle Trophy eight times. The Jumbos also won the 2001 Dinghy National Championship, and won more championships in the 1990s than any other team. Several world and Olympic champions have been a part of the Tufts Sailing Team; among them is Tomas Hornos (class of 2010), who was world champion in 2007, and Kaitlin Storck, who was awarded the ICSA Women's College Sailor of the Year trophy in 2008. Others include Roger Altreuter in 1975, R. Stuart Johnstone in 1980, Paul Dickey in 1981, and Senet Bischoff in 1996, who all won the ICSA College Sailor of the Year trophy.

Other

Men's Squash maintains a top 20 Division I national ranking. Tufts University won its first NCAA-sanctioned national team championship when the men's lacrosse team defeated Salisbury in the 2010 Division III men's lacrosse final. Since then, Tufts has captured NCAA Division III National Championships in women's field hockey (2012), women's softball (three consecutive from 2013 to 2015), men's lacrosse again (2014, 2015), and men's soccer (2014, 2016, 2018, 2019). Tufts teams also reached the 2008 championship game in women's field hockey and the 2011 championship game in men's lacrosse.

Centrum Badania Opinii Społecznej (CBOS; English: Centre for Public Opinion Research) is an opinion polling institute in Poland, based in Warsaw. Originally established in communist Poland in 1982, it has operated as a non-profit public foundation created by a special law since 1997 (Ustawy o fundacji Centrum Badania Opinii Społecznej z dn. 20 lutego 1997 r., Dz.U. nr 30, poz. 163). Its statutory purpose is to provide data on the population's opinion regarding political and social issues. Major Polish newspapers and news magazines, such as Gazeta Wyborcza, Rzeczpospolita, and Polityka, regularly commission CBOS to conduct polls. Apart from its public function, CBOS also conducts commercial market research to help finance its operations.

CBOS conducts a monthly survey on a representative sample of 1,000 adult persons entitled "Current Problems and Events" (Aktualne problemy i wydarzenia). The findings are published on a monthly basis and made available on the internet with a one-month delay (since 1998). Each monthly report focuses on a specific topic, with certain topics recurring in regular intervals. An abridged English-language newsletter, entitled "Polish Public Opinion" and containing summaries of results on various topics, is also available online and free of charge. In total, CBOS publishes more than 200 reports and books each year.

CBOS employs a staff of 40+ sociologists, economists, statisticians, and computer scientists at its seat in Warsaw, and a nationwide network of interviewers. CBOS's work is supervised by a board established per the 1997 law, consisting of seven academic experts appointed by the council of ministers and the representatives of the Sejm, the Senate, the prime minister, and the president.

Criticism
CBOS has been accused of performing "magic" on behalf of their clients by both  magazine, and Gazeta Wyborcza. For example, results of a survey conducted by CBOS prior to presidential elections of 2015 had shown rapidly growing support for Civic Platform (Platforma Obywatelska) even though only ten days earlier, in a different survey conducted by CBOS on behalf of TVN24 (a different client), the Law and Justice (Prawo i Sprawiedliwość, PiS) was ahead of PO in terms of popularity. Agnieszka Kublik writing for Gazeta Wyborcza noted that the poll was a failure not only because of how respondents were being approached by CBOS, but also because of its perceived political affiliations.

After the parliamentary election 2019, Europe Elects showed that CBOS had the largest accumulative error among all Polish pollsters, favouring especially the government party PiS.

The Federation of Tobacco and Matches () was a trade union representing workers in the tobacco industry in France.

The union was founded in December 1890, as the National Federation of Workers of the Tobacco Manufactures of France, bringing together workers at fifteen factories.  By 1895, it was able to launch a regular newspaper, L'Écho des tabacs, and was a founding affiliate of the General Confederation of Labour (CGT).

The union split in 1920, with the left-wing forming the Unitary Federation of Tobacco, affiliated to the United General Confederation of Labor (CGTU).  In 1926, the Federation of Match Manufacturing Workers joined the CGT union, which renamed itself as the Federation of Tobacco and Matches, and this brought Léon Jouhaux into membership.  The CGTU union rejoined in 1935, but its members failed to win any seats on the executive.

The union was banned during World War II, with none of its leadership collaborating with the Vichy regime.  It was re-established after the war, but its leaders became increasingly uncomfortable with the influence of the French Communist Party in the CGT.  In 1948, it resigned from the CGT, and became a founding constituent of Workers' Force.

Membership of the union gradually declined after the war, and in 1988, it merged into the General Federation of Agriculture, Food, Tobacco and Related Services Workers.

The enzyme phenylserine aldolase () catalyzes the chemical reaction

L-threo-3-phenylserine  glycine + benzaldehyde

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the aldehyde-lyases, which cleave carbon-carbon bonds.  The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-threo-3-phenylserine benzaldehyde-lyase (glycine-forming). This enzyme is also called L-threo-3-phenylserine benzaldehyde-lyase.  It employs one cofactor, pyridoxal phosphate.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code .

Tomás de Iriarte (or Yriarte) y Oropesa (Puerto de la Cruz, La Orotava, island of Tenerife, 18 September 1750Madrid, 17 September 1791), was a Spanish neoclassical poet.

Life 
Tomás was born to the Iriarte family, many of whose members were writers in the humanist tradition. His father was Don Bernardo de Iriarte, while his mother was Doña Bárbara de las Nieves Hernández de Oropesa.  His brother was Bernardo de Iriarte

He received his literary education at Madrid where he went aged 14 in 1764 under the care of his uncle, Juan de Iriarte (Puerto de la Cruz, 1701Madrid 1771), librarian to the king of Spain. In his eighteenth year the nephew began his literary career by translating French plays for the royal theatre, and in 1770, under the anagram of Tirso Imarete, he published an original comedy entitled Hacer que hacemos.

In the following year he became official translator at the foreign office, and in 1776 keeper of the records in the war department. In 1780 he authored a didactic poem in silvas entitled La Música, which attracted some attention in Italy as well as at home.

The Fábulas literarias (1782), with which his name is most intimately associated, are composed in a great variety of metres, and was known for humorous attacks on literary men and methods, as was the case, again and again,  with Juan Pablo Forner (1756–1797).

During his later years, partly in consequence of the Fábulas, Iriarte was absorbed in personal controversies, and in 1786 was reported to the Inquisition for his sympathies with the French philosophers.

He died of gout at Madrid, 17 September 1791, aged only 41.

He is the subject of an exhaustive monograph (1897) by Emilio Cotarelo y Mori, (Vegadeo, 1 May 1857Madrid, 27 January 1936), member of the Royal Spanish Academy,  just that year.
