Professor  is a Japanese chemist born in Tokyo. She is the designer and creator of Ni(tmdt)2, the world's first single-component molecular metal.

Biography

Kobayashi was born in 1943. Her mother was a musician and her father was a physicist. Kobayashi graduated with a B.Sc from the University of Tokyo, Department of Chemistry in 1967 and earned her Ph.D. at the University of Tokyo in 1972.  Staying at the university, she became a research associate (1972), associate professor (1993), and full professor (1999). In 2006, Kobayashi became a Professor emeritus at the University of Tokyo and accepted a position at Nihon University.

She was a 2009 L'Oréal-UNESCO Awards for Women in Science laureate, "for her contribution to the development of molecular conductors and the design and synthesis of a single-component organic metal". The metal in question is known as "Ni(tmdt)2", where "tmdt" is short for trimethylenetetrathiafulvalenedithiolate. This organic metal has unusual properties including the ability to exhibit metallic properties at just 0.6 of a degree above absolute zero. This material is paramagnetic and is attracted to magnetic fields at nearly every temperature below room temperature. The implications of Kobayashi's work is part of an emerging family of new materials with interesting and exploitable properties. Kobayashi's first discovery was based on nickel. Since then variations based on zinc and copper have been created and studied.

Additional honors include the Crystallographic Society of Japan Award (1998) and the Complex Chemical Society Award (2006).

Brentwood Town Centre (sometimes abbreviated as Brentwood) is an elevated station on the Millennium Line of Metro Vancouver's SkyTrain rapid transit system. The station is located above Lougheed Highway east of Willingdon Avenue in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. The station is adjacent to the Amazing Brentwood, a mid-size shopping centre.

Structure and design
Brentwood Town Centre station is the only station in the system that is built on a median, with the entire station footprint located directly above a roadway. The station is also designed to serve as a pedestrian overpass across Lougheed Highway, which required the station platforms to be high above the roadway and a publicly accessible mezzanine/concourse to be built below the platform level. Only two other Millennium Line stations have this feature, Gilmore and Lougheed Town Centre stations.

The station is built using a combination of wood and steel, custom-designed to provide a curved appearance. The extensive use of glass for the outer wall makes the station glow at night.

On May 11, 2002, Perkins and Will Canada, designers of the station, were honoured for their work with a Governor General's Medal in Architecture.

In 2020, a $33-million program was announced which featured the rebuilding of the station's south entrance to improve accessibility and increase capacity in response to population growth in the area. The staircases were to be enclosed in glass and supplemented by a new elevator. Construction began on June 20, 2022, with a scheduled completion set for 2024.

François Jonquet (born ), is a French Berlin-based writer and art critic.
He is a member of the International Association of Art Critics (AICA). His specialism as a writer is to alternate novels and biographies.

Since 2005, he has contributed to the bilingual journal (French, English) art press founded by the art critic and writer Catherine Millet. 

He is the author of the illustrated work of reference about the British art duo, Gilbert & George, Intimate Conversations with François Jonquet, Phaidon 2005. It comprises a distillation of interviews.

In 2000, he reconnected with an acquaintance from his youth. During his years nightclubbing, François Jonquet had hung out with Jenny Bel'Air, the star of the French underground of the seventies and eighties. A mixed-race transvestite, Jenny had been the physiognomist for Fabrice Emaer's legendary nightclub, Le Palace. A biography was published a year later, (Jenny Bel'Air, une créature, Éditions Pauvert, 2001).

Et me voici vivant (Sabine Wespieser Éditeur, 2006), is an account of his descent into madness.

He had another remarkable meeting in 2007, this time with Daniel Emilfork. François Jonquet went on to recount the final years of the life of this great theatrical actor. Largely typecast as an evil character in feature films because of his extraordinary face, his role in The City of Lost Children is a notable example, (Daniel, Sabine Wespieser Éditeur, 2008).

His coming-of-age novel, Les Vrais Paradis, (Sabine Wespieser Éditeur, 2014), is set in the Parisian nightclub, Le Palace, during the years 1979–84.

A personal portrait of Valérie Lang – the actress, political activist and daughter of Jack Lang, former Minister of Culture of President François Mitterrand – was published in 2018. (Je veux brûler tout mon temps, Seuil). She died suddenly at the age of forty-seven.

Avdi Square () is a public gathering place located in the Metaxourgeio neighbourhood of Athens, Greece, bounded by Leonidou, Kerameikou, Giatrakou and Germanikou streets. On the edges of the square stand the Municipal Gallery of Athens, several cafes, theatres, businesses and residential buildings. The City of Athens renovated the square in 2008, increasing the amount and quality of greenery, improving lighting and renewing tile surfaces.
 

Since then, the square has also begun to bear signs of the neighbourhood’s steady revitalization by its residents through anonymous artwork, guerrilla gardening, festivals, and performances of dance, music and other artistic expression.

The square’s 2008 overhaul was part of the city’s “We're Taking Note and Taking Action" program, which aimed to solve everyday problems in Athens' neighbourhoods. In Avdi Square, the city added 39 trees, 112 bushes, 500 flowers, 1,000 square metres of grass, and 271 square metres of new tile surface. On 21 July 2008, following the completion of the renovation, Mayor Nikitas Kaklamanis held a public ceremony to hand over the square to the area's citizens for caretaking and use as a recreational oasis. "This square will become the heart of culture and recreation in your neighbourhood,” he said during the launch of the revamped space.

The square is named for Leon Avdis (1937–2000), a Greek lawyer and public servant who enjoyed wide respect across the political spectrum. In 1994 he was elected Municipal Councillor of Athens as head of the "Fighting Cooperation for Athens" coalition. Avdis was elected to Parliament in 1996 on the Greek Communist Party (KKE) ticket, then resigned in 1997 to run for mayor of Athens. His platform including improving living conditions in run-down areas and creating bicycle lanes in the capital.

Holothuria (Cystipus) cubana is a species of sea cucumber in the family Holothuriidae. This species was first described by Ludwig in 1875.

Description 
Holothuria cubana live at a depth of 0–7 meters and grow to a length of 15 cm. Individuals have a cylindrical body with a mouth and anus on opposite ends. Young individuals are soft and have a light coloration. Papillae begin to appear on the dorsal surface as the individual grows. They have suckered pedicels, which too increase in number as the animal grows. Adults take on a rougher texture and have dark gray bodies with brown spots and a white underside.

Biology 
Like some other sea cucumbers, the calcareous ossicles found in Holothuria cubana can serve as indicators for the animal's growth. The tentacles of small individuals are supported by thin, curved rods. In juveniles, these rods have distinctive perforated ends. These perforated rods shorten and are less frequently present in large specimens, which are instead covered in knob-like buttons. Individuals have one gonad each and engage in external fertilization, as most Holothurians partake in broadcast spawning. Holothurians are known to sift through sediment to eat coral rubble, algae, microorganisms and detritus, and can filter water to find food.

Ecology 
Specimens have been found throughout the western central Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea. They have been observed to position themselves under objects or sand, making them difficult to spot. Commercial harvesting has led to declines and extinctions of sea cucumber species throughout the Indo-Pacific. Harvesting efforts have in turn increased in the Americas, in places including Mexico, Nicaragua, and Panama. Recovery can be slow for exploited Holothurian populations, and individuals can experience shrinkage after exposure to nutritional stress or environmental conditions. Holothurians contribute to nutrient cycling in reef ecosystems as they eat bacteria, diatoms and detritus.
