Bezerra is a Portuguese surname of Hebrew ancestry, popular among the Sephardi Jewish settlers in Northern Portugal. The name translates to 'heifer'.
The first members of this family have origins in Ponte de Lima, the oldest Portuguese village, and can be traced back to the century XII.

By the early 1500s, Jews in Portugal were told that they had either to convert to Catholicism or leave the country, and while many converted by choice and embraced their new faith, others were faced with forced conversions, which led to false adherence to Catholicism in public with continued observance of Judaism in private (also known as Crypto-Jews, or "Jews without a past"). These converted Jews were commonly called 'New Christians', 'Marranos' or 'Conversos'. The Bezerra family name has been historically recognized as a 'converso' lineage of ethnic Jews converted to the Catholic Church.

The 'conversos', although remaining as Portuguese subjects, but eager to escape to as far as possible from the Portuguese Inquisition, started leaving Portugal for other countries.  While some preferred the Portuguese colonies in Africa and Asia, most chose Brazil as their new home, and  were responsible for penetrating deep into the Brazilian backcountry and developing the land through successfully establishing sugarcane plantations, cattle farms, mills and trading businesses.

The 'conversos' Antonio Martins Bezerra and his wife Maria Martins Bezerra were amongst the first Portuguese settlers in Brazil, having arrived to the then newly acquired colony in 1535.
Nowadays, people with the Bezerra surname are found mostly in the Northeast of Brazil .

B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA or BCM), also known as tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 17 (TNFRSF17), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TNFRSF17 gene.

TNFRSF17 is a cell surface receptor of the TNF receptor superfamily which recognizes B-cell activating factor (BAFF).

Serum B-cell maturation antigen (sBCMA) is the cleaved form of BCMA, found at low levels in the serum of normal patients and generally elevated in patients with multiple myeloma (MM).

Function 
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. This receptor is preferentially expressed in mature B lymphocytes, and may be important for B cell development and autoimmune response. This receptor has been shown to specifically bind to the tumor necrosis factor (ligand) superfamily, member 13b (TNFSF13B/TALL-1/BAFF), and to lead to NF-kappaB and MAPK8/JNK activation. This receptor also binds to various TRAF family members, and thus may transduce signals for cell survival and proliferation.

Interactions 

TNFRSF17 has been shown to interact with the B-cell activating factor TNFSF13B. A conserved domain at the N-terminus, BCMA TALL-1 binding domain, is required for binding to the TNFSF13B.

Clinical significance 

TNFRSF17 is implicated in leukemia, lymphomas, and multiple myeloma (see the "Mitelman Database"  and the Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology,).

As a drug target 
An antibody-drug conjugate Belantamab mafodotin (GSK2857916) has evaluated in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. Belantamab mafodotin  was approved in the United States in August 2020 for the treatment of  patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received at least four prior therapies.

A Phase 1b/2 study of JNJ-4528, a CAR-T cell therapy directed against BCMA in myeloma patients refractory to a proteasome inhibitor or immunomodulatory drug, and who had received an anti-CD38 antibody has been completed.

ALLO-715 is a CAR-T therapy by Allogene Therapeutics that targets B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA). , it is undergoing clinical trials for the treatment of multiple myeloma. On 21 April 2021, the FDA granted Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy status to ALLO-715. ALLO-715 is being investigated at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and the Mayo Clinic as part of the UNIVERSAL trial for multiple myeloma, on its own and in conjunction with the selective gamma secretase inhibitor nirogacestat.

Age determination in dinosaurs is mainly used to determine the approximate age of a dinosaur when the animal died.

History
Early attempts to estimate the longevity of dinosaurs used allometric scaling principles. Ages were determined by dividing individual mass estimates by rates of growth for similar, extant taxa. For very large individuals, growth rates were extrapolated to dinosaur proportions using regression analysis. The results of these investigations have been extremely variable as they depend on mass estimates and growth rates that are highly at odds with one another.

For example, longevity estimates for the sauropod Hypselosaurus priscus range from a few decades to several hundred years. However, it has been shown that most dinosaur bones have growth lines that are visible in thin sectioned material viewed under a polarized light source.

Growth lines
Two types of growth lines exist: annuli, and lines of arrested growth (LAGs). Histological examinations have revealed that annuli are composed of thin layers of avascular bone with parallel-aligned bone fibers. The growth line annuli are found compressed between broad vascularized regions of bone with randomly oriented fibrillar patterns, known as zones.

Lines of arrested growth, similar to annuli, are found between zones are avascular. They are, however, much thinner, and have relatively fewer bone fibers by volume.

Studies on extant vertebrates indicate that the vascularized zones form during moderate to rapid skeletogenesis, and that abrupt metabolic disruptions of bone formation can trigger growth line deposition.

Both types of growth lines may be deposited in synchrony with endogenous biorhythms. For example, captive crocodilians exposed to constant temperature, diet, and photoperiod, still exhibit the periodic and cyclical skeletal growth banding of their wild counterparts. Consequently, it is assumed by many paleontologists that the growth lines of dinosaurs reflect annual rhythms, and that they may be used to determine individual ages. However, in the large and long bones of many dinosaurian taxa, resorption of internal and external bone proceeds even as new cortical bone continues to be deposited, so that growth lines deposited early in development may need to be inferred.

Results in dinosaurs
The results of pioneering efforts to age dinosaur fossils using growth ring counts suggest that the longevity of the  basal ceratopsian Psittacosaurus mongoliensis was 10 or 11 years. The prosauropod Massospondylus carinatus 15 years of age, the sauropods Lapparentosaurus and Narindasaurus 43 years, the coelophysoid Megapnosaurus rhodesiensis 7 years, and the maniraptor Troodon formosus 3-5 years of age respectively. These data are being used in conjunction with mass estimated in order to infer the metabolic status and growth rates of dinosaurs.

William Earnest Beltz (April 27, 1912 – November 21, 1960) was an American politician and carpenter.

Born in Bear Creek on the Seward Peninsula, Haycock, Alaska, Beltz was an Iñupiaq, the Inuit of Alaska. Beltz worked as a carpenter, elected President of the Alaska Council of Carpenters, and lived in Unalakleet, Alaska. A Democrat, Beltz served as a member of the House in the Alaska Territorial Legislature in 1949. He then served in the Territorial Senate from 1951 until 1959, when Alaska  became a state. Beltz served in the Alaska State Senate from 1959 until his death in 1960. Beltz died at Alaska Native Medical Center in Anchorage, Alaska from a cancerous brain tumor.

He was born to John Skyles Beltz who went to Alaska during the Yukon Gold Rush in 1897 and Susie Goodwin Beltz. In 1953, Beltz married Arne Louise Bulkeley who was a U.S. Public Health Service village nurse in Unalakleet when they met; they had seven children.  

In 1958 the first senate of the state of Alaska, unanimously elected Beltz president of the first senate of the state. Nome-Beltz Junior/Senior High School was named in his honor because of his efforts to provide education for rural residents.  A conference room in the Thomas B. Stewart Legislative Office Building was named for Beltz.

Georg Albrecht of Saxe-Weissenfels, Count of Barby (b. Dessau, 19 April 1695 – d. Barby, 12 June 1739), was a German prince of the House of Wettin and the last count of Barby.

He was the sixth (but second surviving) son of Heinrich of Saxe-Weissenfels, Count of Barby, and Princess Elisabeth Albertine of Anhalt-Dessau.

Life

Before his own birth, two older brothers (both named Johann August and stillborn twins) had died. The death of his oldest surviving brother, the Hereditary Prince Frederick Heinrich, during a trip to The Hague (21 November 1711) made him the new heir of the county of Barby.

In Forst, Niederlausitz, on 18 February 1721, Georg Albrecht married Duchess Auguste Louise of Württemberg-Oels. Auguste's maternal grandmother was Justine Sophie of Barby-Mühlingen, a sister of the last count; this brought Georg Albrecht closer connection to the former ruling house of Barby. The marriage was extremely unhappy, and the couple finally divorced in 1732 after eleven years of childless union. Auguste Luise returned to her Silesian homeland and died six months before Georg Albrecht. Neither remarried.

Georg Albrecht succeeded his father as count when Heinrick Albrecht died on 16 February 1728. As count of Barby, Georg Albrecht continued to govern in the same way as his late father. However, he died after only 11 years of governing. Because he died without issue, the Barby line of the Wettin family became extinct and the county of Barby passed to the Electorate of Saxony.

He was buried in the new family vault built by his father in Barby.

The Gambier Islands are a small group of islands lying between the southern tips of the Eyre and Yorke Peninsulas at the entrance to Spencer Gulf in South Australia.  The islands lie within the 120 km2 Gambier Islands Group Marine Park.

Description
By far the largest island in the group, at about 10 km2 in area, is Wedge Island.  The others are North Island, South West Rock and Peaked Rocks.  Except for Wedge Island, the group constitutes the Gambier Islands Conservation Park.  Wedge Island is partly crown land and partly privately owned; it was used for farming for 130 years following European settlement of the region, and holds several buildings, mainly used as tourist accommodation, an airstrip, pier and a lighthouse.  The waters around the islands are extensively used for commercial and recreational fishing and for recreational diving.

Wildlife
Australian sea lions breed on the islands, and New Zealand fur seals may haul out there.  Seabirds for which the islands are important include little penguins, short-tailed shearwaters and white-faced storm petrels.  Other birds recorded there include rock parrots, bush stone-curlews, peregrine falcons, ospreys and white-bellied sea eagles. In 1869, the islands were known to support gulls, gannets, terns, penguins, muttonbirds and other seabirds. An etching showing a rocky feature of one of the islands and a flock of shearwaters in flight was published in the Illustrated Australian News for Home Readers in 1869.

A 1986 account of North Island described a population of "thousands" of muttonbirds and penguins there.

"El harba wine" is a single from Khaled's album Kenza. "El Harba Wine" loosely translates to "Run away, but where to?". Khaled explains the title as "You want to leave your country? Where do you want to go?". The song is also sometimes referred to by the title "El Harba". The credited writers for the lyrics are Mohamed Angar Khaled, Amar, and Mohamed Benhamadouche, and for the music Khaled and Idir.

Versions and release history
"El Harba Wine" is an Arabic cover version of "Zwit Rwit", an Amazigh song sung by Idir. The original Arabic cover version was recorded by Khaled in 1987 and released in 1988. The release coincided with Algeria's civil unrest of October 1988.

A live version of the song was included in Khaled's live album Hafla. A rare flamenco inspired version of the song was included in Sahra's promotional CD. Khaled's 1999 album Kenza included a remake of "El Harba Wine" featuring Indian fused beats and Hindi verses sung by Amar.  Billboard described this version as a "mesmerizing merging" of Khaled and Amar's singing, "equal parts world music and tribal house".
