Virgil Bercea (born 1957) is the Bishop of the Eparchy of Oradea Mare of the Romanian Greek Catholic Church since 1997.

Life
Virgil Bercea was born on 9 December 1957 in Habic, Mureș County, Romania. He studied in his town, and after the military service he attended the University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Cluj-Napoca from 1977 to 1981. He worked as agricultural engineer and researcher till 1990.

Supported by his uncle Archbishop Alexandru Todea, the clandestine leader of the Romanian Greek Catholic Church under the Communist Romania, Bercea secretly studied theology, and on 9 December 1982 he was secretly ordained Priest. After ordination he served in underground as priest in the town of Târgu Mureş. After Romanian Revolution of 1989 he could go to attend a specialization in dogmatic theology in the Pontifical Urbaniana University, in Rome, and from 1992 he was appointed general vicar in Blaj.

On 20 July 1994, Bercea was appointed auxiliary bishop of Greek Catholic Archeparchy of Făgăraş and Alba Iulia and so consecrated bishop by Major Archbishop Lucian Mureșan on 8 September 1994.
On 6 November 1996, he was appointed coadjutor bishop of the Romanian Catholic Eparchy of Oradea Mare, to which he succeeded on 8 June 1997.

In 2000, Virgil Bercea was awarded the Romanian National Order of "Faithful Service" with the rank of Commander by the President of Romania. In 2003, he was awarded the academic title of doctor of theology by Pontifical Urbaniana University.

On 7 February 2004, Bercea was granted by the President of Romania of the Order of Cultural Merit in the rank of Commander in the Religious category, "as a token of appreciation for the work of Your Holiness in the field of religion, to ecumenical and civic spirit shown and the contribution you brought it to strengthen interfaith relations." Bishop Bercea sent the following reply: "I want to thank you for this post and at the same time thank the President, but I do not accept this distinction and I will not attend the ceremony. Moreover, this manner of proceeding, that the Presidential Secretariat of State for Religion, I consider it an insult not only to the Romanian Church United with Rome, Greek Catholic, but also to the Orthodox Church or any other religion in Romania."

During Bercea's reign, the Eparchy of Oradea Mare have been returned a number of churches, along with the episcopal palace-residence and the Cathedral of St. Nicholas, which had been confiscated 58 years ago by the communist regime and given to the Romanian Orthodox Church.

Nuclease protection assay is a laboratory technique used in biochemistry and genetics to identify individual RNA molecules in a heterogeneous RNA sample extracted from cells. The technique can identify one or more RNA molecules of known sequence even at low total concentration. The extracted RNA is first mixed with antisense RNA or DNA probes that are complementary to the sequence or sequences of interest and the complementary strands are hybridized to form double-stranded RNA (or a DNA-RNA hybrid). The mixture is then exposed to ribonucleases that specifically cleave only single-stranded RNA but have no activity against double-stranded RNA. When the reaction runs to completion, susceptible RNA regions are degraded to very short oligomers or to individual nucleotides; the surviving RNA fragments are those that were complementary to the added antisense strand and thus contained the sequence of interest.

Probe 

The probes are prepared by cloning part of the gene of interest in a vector under the control of any of the following promoters, SP6, T7 or T3. These promoters are recognized by DNA dependent RNA polymerases originally characterized from bacteriophages. The probes produced are radioactive as they are prepared by in vitro transcription using radioactive UTPs. Uncomplemented DNA or RNA is cleaved off by nucleases. When the probe is a DNA molecule, S1 nuclease is used; when the probe is RNA, any single-strand-specific ribonuclease can be used. Thus the surviving probe-mRNA complement is simply detected by autoradiography.

Uses 

Nuclease protection assays are used to map introns and 5' and 3' ends of transcribed gene regions. Quantitative results can be obtained regarding the amount of the target RNA present in the original cellular extract - if the target is a messenger RNA, this can indicate the level of transcription of the gene in the cell. 

They are also used to detect the presence of double stranded RNA, presence of which could mean RNA interference. 

Northern blotting is a laboratory technique that produces similar information. It is slower and less quantitative, but also produces accurate information about the size of the target RNA. Nuclease protection assay products are limited to the size of the initial probes due to the destruction of the non-hybridized RNA during the nuclease digestion step.

OpenSimplex noise is an n-dimensional (up to 4D) gradient noise function that was developed in order to overcome the patent-related issues surrounding simplex noise, while likewise avoiding the visually-significant directional artifacts characteristic of Perlin noise.

The algorithm shares numerous similarities with simplex noise, but has two primary differences:
 Whereas simplex noise starts with a hypercubic honeycomb and squashes it down the main diagonal in order to form its grid structure, OpenSimplex noise instead swaps the skew and inverse-skew factors and uses a stretched hypercubic honeycomb. The stretched hypercubic honeycomb becomes a simplectic honeycomb after subdivision. This means that 2D Simplex and 2D OpenSimplex both use different orientations of the triangular tiling, but whereas 3D Simplex uses the tetragonal disphenoid honeycomb, 3D OpenSimplex uses the tetrahedral-octahedral honeycomb.
 OpenSimplex noise uses a larger kernel size than simplex noise. The result is a smoother appearance at the cost of performance, as additional vertices need to be determined and factored into each evaluation.

OpenSimplex has a variant called "SuperSimplex" (or OpenSimplex2S), which is visually smoother. "OpenSimplex2F" is identical to the original SuperSimplex.

A Special Saving Incentive Account (SSIA) was a type of interest-bearing account in Ireland. These accounts were available to open between 1 May 2001 and 30 April 2002, and featured a state-provided top-up of 25% of the sum deposited.

Scheme details
Introduced in the Finance Act 2001, the SSIA was structured so that the Government of Ireland contributed one euro for every four invested by the account holder. The maximum contribution was €254 per month. For deposit account SSIAs, banks paid interest on top of the government bonus and principal accumulated. Equity SSIAs were also available to investors seeking higher returns than the state-guaranteed minimum of 25%. The scheme, which was restricted to those over eighteen, was most popular among middle-income earners. All SSIAs matured five years from the date of opening.

Intended effects
In 2006/7 the maturing SSIA funds were hoped to boost the slowing Irish economy. The funds amounted to €14 billion and were expected to increase the purchasing power of Irish consumers who would in turn help the Irish economy through increased spending. Due to poor external contribution and the weakening construction sector, consumer spending was expected to help sustain relatively high economic growth, with projections that SSIAs could contribute to a boost of up to 1.9%. This consumer expenditure was an important factor in increasing government's tax revenue for its ambitious capital expenditure plans.

Criticisms
Opposition parties questioned the effectiveness of the scheme in dampening inflation (running at 7% at its peak) and also the timing of the maturities, which they claimed would benefit the government at the 2007 general election.

Roald Fourie Badenhorst (born 13 May 1991) is a South African-born New Zealand former cricketer.

Badenhorst was born at Pretoria in South Africa in 1991, the son of a high-level tennis player. His family moved to New Zealand in 2002 and Badencroft first played for Central Districts age-group sides in the 2007–08 season. He made his Hawke Cup debut for Manawatu in 2009–10 before making his first-class cricket debut for Central Districts in 2011–12.

Over three season Badenhorst played 11 first-class and two List A matches primarily as a bowler for Central Districts before moving to play for Otago for the 2014–15 season. Described as a "fringe player" who was brought into the side following good batting performances for his club side, Badenhorst played a further four first-class matches for the side as well as three Twenty20 matches in the Super Smash competition. He played club cricket for Albion Cricket Club in Dunedin and played for club sides in England.

An injury forced him to retire from top-level cricket and Badenhorst has since worked in the recruitment sector in Auckland.

The 2009 Krasnozavodsk tornado was an F3 tornado that occurred on Junе 3, 2009, in Krasnozavodsk near Sergiev Posad in the Moscow region at 22.15 MST. It was the first powerful tornado in the vicinity of Moscow since 1984. By damage registered in photo and video materials, this tornado is categorised at F2 at its rise, and at F3 at maximum stage.

Synopsis
Late on June 3, 2009, a cold-core non-tropical low pressure area located over the Baltic Sea collided with a warm air mass, creating atmospheric instability. The result was a line of severe thunderstorms, also known as a squall line, in the Moscow area. One of the thunderstorms broke off and developed into a supercell thunderstorm about  from Moscow, Russia. The supercell spawned a  wide tornado in Krasnozavodsk. The tornado reached F3 intensity along its path. The tornado was the first intense tornado to impact the Moscow region in nearly 25 years. Upwards of  of rain fell throughout the impacted regions. This is roughly half the monthly rainfall average.

Impact
The tornado damaged and destroyed numerous homes within the Moscow region. The most severe damage took place in Krasnozavodsk where nine people were reportedly killed, one of whom was later confirmed, and 185 others were injured. The fatality occurred after a boy was pinned underneath a downed tree. Teachers rushed to pull the child from the fallen tree but were unable to free him. Paramedics declared him dead at the scene by the time they arrived. High winds produced by the thunderstorm that spawned the tornado cut power to 40,000 people throughout 250 towns in the area. Live power lines downed by the tornado sparked fires that destroyed ten structures. Damage from the fires amounted to 170 million RUB (US$5.3 million). In Moscow, winds up to  downed 90 trees, damaged 25 advertisement billboards and several homes. Forty-two homes were damaged by the tornado, ranging from roof damage to severe interior damage, 60 vehicles were either thrown or damaged, and 360 trees were uprooted. Damages from the tornado were estimated at 350 million RUB (US$11.3 million).

Aftermath
Following the severe weather, emergency response teams were deployed to the affected regions. Cleanup crews also quickly began to remove debris from roadways and rebuild downed power lines. By June 11, all roads were cleared. By June 14, repairs to the damaged homes were complete as all the roofs were replaced by city officials.

Makoto Kozuru (Japanese:小鶴 誠, Kozuro Makoto, December 17, 1922 — June 2, 2003) was a Japanese professional baseball player who played in both the Japanese Baseball League and Nippon Professional Baseball. He was the MVP of the Central League in 1950, and was inducted into the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame in 1980. His nickname was "The Japanese DiMaggio."

Kozuru played as an outfielder and infielder. He holds the Japanese baseball record for most RBIs in a single season with 161 in 1950. That same year he also hit 51 home runs, becoming the first Japanese player to break the 50-homer mark in a single season.

Kozuru made his professional debut at age 19 with Nagoya-gun (the team that eventually became known as the Chunichi Dragons). After two years with the club, he spent 1944 and 1945 in the Japanese navy. Kozuru returned to his original team for the 1946 and 1947 seasons, and then spent one season each with the Kyuei Flyers and Daiei Stars in 1948 and 1949. He hit .361 in 1949, leading the league in hitting and earning Best Nine Award honors.

Joining the Shochiku Robins in 1950 (the first year of Nippon Professional Baseball), Kozuru had a season for the ages, hitting .355, and leading the Central League in home runs with 51, RBI with a still-league record 161, and runs scored with 143. He led the Robins to the inaugural Japan Series, which they lost to the Mainichi Orions, 4 games to 2. (Kozuru was 4 for 23 in the Series, with no home runs.

The Robins merged with the Taiyo Whales following the 1952 season and Kozuru joined the Hiroshima Carp for the balance of his career. A herniated disk in his back curtailed his production and he ended up retiring in 1958 at the age of 35.

Tracey Claire Fuchs (born November 3, 1966, in Centereach, New York) is a former field hockey midfielder from the United States, who was a member of the US women's team that finished fifth at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. She also competed in the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, where Team USA finished in eighth and last position. She also played for the 1994 World Cup team that won the bronze medal.
She won a bronze medal at the 1995 Pan American Games.  Fuchs won the NCAA Division I national title as the coach of the Northwestern Wildcats in 2021.

Life 
A former street hockey player on Long Island, she became a force on her high school field hockey team for Centereach Cougars. She was the last of four sisters — Dana, Jill and Lauren were the others — who were all team captains.

Fuchs scored 82 goals her senior year, the National Federation record. She finished her high school career with 171 goals, second all-time.

She went to the University of Connecticut where she paid the Huskies immediate dividends, winning an NCAA championship in her second season. She was a three-time All-American and won the 1987 Honda-Broderick Award, which recognizes the national player of the year.

Fuchs' international career started strongly as the USA qualified for the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, then won silver in the 1994 World Cup. She was named USA Field Hockey's Athlete of the Year in 1990 and 1995. She and the rest of the national-team pool prepared for an entire year in Atlanta before the 1996 Olympics. The team finished sixth.

She missed the 2002 World Cup because of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.  The U.S. team was stranded in the USA while the rest of the teams were in France.

This sent Fuchs and the American team on a five-continent, 10,000-mile journey to earn the 16th and final qualification place for the World Cup. At the end, in a three-game series against India played in Cannock, England, Fuchs led the way for the United States with a pair of second-half goals in the third and final match as the Americans won 3–1. She participated at the 2003 Pan American Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

Fuchs was capped "280 something" times over 17 years, scoring 69 goals.

She is now the head field hockey coach at Northwestern University and was on the coaching staff for Team USA at the 2006 World Cup in Madrid.

Giovanni Francesco Mormando (Mormanno 1449 - Naples 1530) was an Italian architect active in Naples, Italy.

He helped designing the church of Santi Severino e Sossio. He also worked on the Chiesetta della Stella (Santa Maria della Stella alle Paparelle), and the  Palazzo Filomarini for the Principe della Rocca. He is said to have met with and worked in the style of Leon Battista Alberti. The architect Sigismondo di Giovanni, who designed the Seggio di Nido and the cupola for the church of Santi Severino e Sossio, was his pupil.  He traveled to Spain, to work for Ferdinand of Aragon, where he died. He putatively designed his home in Naples, Palazzo Mormando, located on via San Gregorio Armeno.
