Nigel Trevor Plews (5 September 1934 – 19 October 2008) was a cricket umpire, who stood in first-class and international level matches. He was born in Nottingham.

Plews was unusual for a top-level English umpire, in that he was one of only four umpires who have stood in Tests in England since World War II who did not play first-class cricket. He stood in 11 Test matches between 1988 and 1995.

He took up umpiring full-time after retiring from a 25-year career with the Nottingham city police force, where he was a detective sergeant  – he was nicknamed "Serge" on the field –  in the Fraud Squad.

He also stood in 16 One Day International matches and officiated at 11 Tests before retiring. Plews died of renal cancer on 19 October 2008.

Lawson was the second son of Sir Wilfrid Lawson, 1st Baronet, of Isell and his wife Jane Musgrave, daughter of Sir Edward Musgrave, 1st Baronet  of Hayton Castle 

In 1659, Lawson was elected Member of Parliament for Cockermouth in the Third Protectorate Parliament.  In 1660, he was re-elected MP for Cockermouth in the Convention Parliament. In 1678 he was appointed High Sheriff of Cumberland

Lawson's father conferred the estate of Brayton on him, so founding the Brayton line of Lawsons upon whom the baronetcy later descended in 1743 on the death of Sir Mordaunt Lawson, 5th Baronet of Isell.

Lawson died before his father. He had married Sarah, daughter of William James of Washington, County Durham. They had two sons, Gilfrid and Alfred.

Valerenic acid is a sesquiterpenoid constituent of the essential oil of the valerian plant. 

Valerian is used as a herbal sedative which may be helpful in the treatment of insomnia. Valerenic acid may be at least partly responsible for valerian's sedative effects, in addition to the other valerenic acids hydroxyvalerenic acid and acetoxyvalerenic acid. Valerian supplements are often standardized to contain a particular amount of valerenic acid by weight (often 0.8%). 

Valerenic acid acts as a subtype-selective GABAA receptor positive allosteric modulator via a binding site in the transmembrane domain at the β+α− interface. At receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes (frog eggs) it was shown that only assemblies incorporating β2 or β3 subunits were stimulated by valerenic acid. A study in mice demonstrated that a single amino acid substitution (N265M) in the β3 subunit severely decreases the anxiolytic effect. Modulation of ion channel action was not significantly dependent on incorporation of α1, α2, α3 or α5 subunits.

At the 5-HT5A receptor valerenic acid acts as a partial agonist. This serotonin receptor subtype is distributed in the suprachiasmatic nucleus, a tiny brain region implicated in the sleep-wake cycle.

A study in 2006 found valerian extract as well as valerenic acid to inhibit NF-κB, a protein complex that controls the transcription of DNA, in HeLa (cultured human cancer) cells. This was measured with the IL-6 / Luc (interleukin-6 luciferase) assay as a measurement tool. The study mentioned that such inhibition may be connected to the reported anti-inflammatory action of the valerian plant.

A small study with six human subjects found that valerenic acid peaked in concentration after about an hour and had an average half-life of 1.1 +/- 0.6 hours after oral ingestion of a commercially available valerian root supplement. A later study from the same lab done with sixteen older women found similar values.

Margarita Luna de Espaillat (July 31, 1921 – 2016) was a composer, pianist, and organist from the Dominican Republic.

Born in Santiago de los Caballeros, Luna de Espaillat began her studies under Juan Francisco García; later instructors included Manuel Antonio Rueda González, with whom she studied piano; Juan Urteaga, with whom she studied organ; and Manuel Simó, with whom she studied harmony, counterpoint, and fugue. From 1964 until 1967 she was a pupil of Hall Overton at the Juilliard School. For many years she was director of the National Conservatory of Music in the Dominican Republic. During her career Luna de Espaillat composed an oratorio, Vigilia eterna, and Elegie for choir, narrator, and orchestra, as well as chamber music and piano works. She also taught music history and theory. Her Cambiantes, which dates to 1969, is held to be the first dodecaphonic composition written by a Dominican composer.

Luna de Espaillat was married to businessman Víctor Espaillat Mera (a first cousin of First Lady Asela Mera and 3x-great-grandson of Francisco Espaillat), with whom she had three children, Víctor Manuel, Carmen, and Pilar Espaillat Luna. She died in Canada, where she had lived for over twenty years.

Cyrtandra subumbellata is a rare species of flowering plant in the African violet family known by the common name parasol cyrtandra. It is endemic to Hawaii, where it is known only from the Koʻolau Mountains on the island of Oahu. By 2008 there were three known populations containing 110 plants, or possibly more. It was federally listed as an endangered species in 1996. Like other Hawaiian Cyrtandra it is called .

This plant grows in wet forests, often near streams. It is a shrub growing 2 to 3 meters tall and bearing white flowers.

The habitat is degraded by a number of forces, including exotic plant species such as Koster's curse (Clidemia hirta), feral pigs, and military activity. Rats and slugs may damage plants. Also, this species tends to hybridize easily with the other Cyrtandra in the forest, and there may actually be more hybrids than pure individuals of C. subumbellata in some areas. The phenomenon of genetic pollution may be a threat to the species, in this case. More populations of this plant may exist in dense or inaccessible areas of the forest which have not been surveyed.

The 82nd Infantry Division (German: 82. Infanteriedivision) was a German Army infantry division in World War II. The 82nd was part of the sixth Aufstellungswelle of German infantry divisions.

Operational history
The 82nd Infantry Division was raised in December 1939 and was first deployed into action the following May during the invasion of France and the low countries.

Returning to Germany in December 1940, they were redeployed into the Netherlands the following month. In May, the division was separated - elements of the 82nd were to remain as an occupational force in the Netherlands, while the rest were to invade the Soviet Union. In June 1941, in preparation for the then-upcoming invasion, Major General Josef Lehmann was promoted to Lieutenant General. In December 1942, the occupational elements would move to the Eastern front.

In mid-January 1943, the Red Army launched a counteroffensive targeted on the city of Voronezh. During the Battle of Voronezh, Lieutenant General Alfred Bäntsch was killed; he was replaced by Lieutenant General Karl Faulenbach.

In July 1943, the division took part in the Battle of Kursk as a component of General of the Infantry Erich Straube's XIII Corps, which in itself was a portion of the 2nd Army. In December, Major General Hans-Walter Heyne was promoted to Lieutenant General.

In early 1944, the division was encircled by Soviet Armed Forces near Kiev during the Battle of the Korsun-Cherkassy Pocket. Although it managed to escape from the Soviets, it sustained such heavy casualties that it was reduced to being a designated "Division Group", absorbed by the 254th Infantry Division.

Hop-Çiki-Yaya (AKA: Turkish Delight Mystery) is the banner title of a series of crime fiction novels by Turkish author Mehmet Murat Somer published by İletişim Yayınları in Turkish and by Serpent's Tail and Penguin Books in English translation.

Series synopsis
The series is set in Istanbul and features an unnamed transvestite amateur sleuth and Somer explains the title; "Hop-Çiki-Yaya was a cheerleading chant from Turkish colleges in the early 1960s, and it came to be used in comedy shows to mean gays. If somebody was queenish, then they'd say 'Oh, he's Hop-Çiki-Yaya'. By the 70s, it wasn't being used anymore - so I brought it back."

Regarding his inspiration for the series, Somer has stated that, "Not only in Turkey, but in many countries, transgender people are presented in a way that I don't like at all. They are either slapstick, half-brained characters to be laughed at, or people with no moral values. My aim with the books was to do what Pedro Almodóvar does - turn the negatives into positives." "I wanted to create a likeable, intelligent, witty, refined, well educated hero/heroine with 'positive skills'. Not the typical, stereotypical drag-queen. Therefore I furnished him/her with contrasting and considerable talents… Plus lots of knowledge and warm wit. Hence I created, I believe, the first transvestite detective."

Novels
To date the series consists of seven novels (four of which have been published in English) although as Somer explains, "The order of the books is a strange story. I wrote The Kiss Murder first, but here in UK and in Turkey The Prophet Murders was published first. So, publishing wise, it is the first of the series." He also stated that, "As long as there will be readers and interest, I will produce more Hop-Ciki-Yayas."

The Prophet Murders

The Prophet Murders is the first published volume in the series.

The Kiss Murder
The Kiss Murder is the second published volume in the series.

The Gigolo Murder
The Gigolo Murder is the third published volume in the series.

The Wig Murder
The Wig Murders (AKA: The Serenity Murders) is the fourth published volume in the series.

Opisthocentrinae is a subfamily of marine ray-finned fishes, classified within the family Stichaeidae, the pricklebacks or shannies. These fishes are found in the North Pacific Ocean.

Taxonomy
Opisthocentrinae was first put forward as a subfamily in 1898 by the American ichthyologists David Starr Jordan and Barton Warren Evermann. The 5th edition of Fishes of the World places this subfamily in the family Stichaeidae but other authorities treat this taxon as valid family within the suborder Zoarcoidei, either in the Scorpaeniformes, or the Perciformes. The name of the subfamily is taken from its type genus Opisthocentrus which is a combination of opistho, meaning "behind", and kentron, which means "thorn" or "spine", an allusion to the spines on the 11th and 12th rays in the dorsal fin of O. ocellatus.

Etymology
Opisthocentrus is a combination of opistho, meaning "behind", and kentron, which means "thorn" or "spine", an allusion to the spines on the 11th and 12th rays in the dorsal fin of O. ocellatus.

Genera
The subfamily contains the following genera:

Characteristics
Opisthocentrinae fishes are characterised by having elongate bodies which are relatively deep. They do not have any appendages in the skin of the head. The anal fin has with 1 or 2 spines at its anterior end and the pectoral fins are lareg, containing between 12 and 21 fin rays. The small pelvic fins have a single spine and 3 soft rays, although in some taxa these may be vestigial or absent, e.g. in Kasatkia. The head can be completed clothed in scales, there may only be scales on the cheek or it may be naked. The sensory canals on the head are well developed and the lateral line system on the body consists of mid flank and dorsal lines comprising superficial neuromasts. The gill membranes have a wide join and are not attached to the isthmus. The smallest species is the saddled prickleback (Lumpenopsis clitella) which has a maximum published standard length of  and the largest is Pholidapus dybowskii which has a maximum published total length of .

Distribution and habitat
Opisthocentrinae fishes are found in the North Pacific Ocean off both Asia and North America. They are found from costal algal beds out to the edge of the continental shelf.Generally, little is known about their biology.
