Ang Chen Xiang is an athlete from Singapore specialising in the 110m hurdles. He has held and rewritten the national record for the event several times.

Education and personal life

Ang was educated at Raffles Institution. At the A Division National Championships, he won back-to-back titles in the 110m hurdles. He attended National University of Singapore to earn his medical degree. 

Ang's brother, Ang Ding Hui, also competed in the 110m hurdles and later became his coach.

Ang is a Christian.

Athletic career

In 2015, Ang ran 14.44s to set the national record for the 110m hurdles, which he bettered the same year during the 2015 SEA Games (14.38s). In 2017, he clocked 14.19s at the Thailand Open—after putting his medical studies at NUS on hold—but the record was not ratified. In 2019, he broke the national mark thrice: twice during the Singapore Open (14.27s and 14.26s) and once during the Asian Athletics Championships in Doha (14.25s). 

On 15 January 2022, Ang again rewrote the record for the 110m hurdles with a time of 14.16s. Eight days later, he became the first ever Singaporean to clock a sub-14 in the event, setting a new national mark of 13.97s at the Singapore National Championships and qualifying for the 2021 SEA Games in the process. There, he ran 13.94s to win a silver, Singapore's first medal at the event since 1989. On 1 April 2023, he rewrote his record after winning the Hong Kong Athletics Series 3 competition with a timing of 13.90s. Later in the same month, he ran 13.89s at the Singapore Open. On 10 May 2023, Ang clocked 13.83s to win the joint gold at the 2023 SEA Games in Phnom Penh; this was Singapore's first gold in the event since 1967.

Ang also holds the national record for indoor 60m hurdles (8.16s); his personal best for the same event outdoors is 7.22s.

The GM-94 (Гранатомет Магазинный образца 1994 Granatomet Magazinnyy obraztsa 1994, lit. "magazine-fed grenade launcher, model of 1994") is a pump action grenade launcher for use by Russian special and security forces. Development of the GM-94 grenade launcher began in 1993, under the guidance of Vasilij Gryazev, chief designer of the KBP design bureau (Konstruktorskoye Byuro Priborostroyeniya; (Конструкторское Бюро Приборостроения; KBP), in Tula, Russia.

Description
The GM-94 is a short range weapon, allowing it to be used in close urban environments. With a minimum safe distance of only 10 meters, the GM-94 is well suited to close, room-to-room fighting. Its simple design and operation allows it to operate in dusty and dirty environments and even after being immersed in water.

The launcher is capable of firing VGM-93.900 high explosive fragmentation, VGM-93.100 thermobaric, VGM-93.300 smoke and VGM-93.200 tear gas canisters, VGM-93.600 rubber slugs and other non-lethal payloads.

The VGM-93.100 thermobaric grenade contains around 160 grams of explosive filler. It can penetrate up to 8 mm of mild steel or interior wall with its blast, while producing minimal primary fragmentation.

In June 2005, GM-94 with thermobaric VGM-93.100 ammunition was adopted by the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. In October 2007, the Russian armed forces adopted the launcher designated as LPO-97 (Legkiy Pekhotnyy Ognemet; Легкий Пехотный Огнемет; ‘light infantry flamethrower’) developed in the KBP Instrument Design Bureau on the basis of the GM-94 with a thermobaric grenade, in 2008 GM-94 was adopted for the branches of the Federal Security Service. The weapon was used in the battle of Nalchik in 2005 and in Crimea 2014. Though the launcher was initially intended for use by Russian security forces, the GM-94 has been spotted as far afield as Kazakhstan, where it is in service with the Kazakhstani paramilitary police tactical unit Sunkar („Hawk‟) and in the hands of non-state combatants during the overthrow of the Gaddafi regime in Libya 2011. 

Russian forces have used this weapon to fire non-lethal tear gas grenades on protesters in Ukraine in March 2022.

The big free-tailed bat (Nyctinomops macrotis) is a bat species found in the Americas.

Taxonomy
It was described as a new species in 1839 by British zoologist John Edward Gray. Gray placed it in the now-defunct genus Nyctinomus, with a binomial of Nyctinomus macrotis. The holotype had been collected in Cuba by William Sharp Macleay.

Description
It is the largest member of Nyctinomops, with an average forearm length of . Individuals weigh approximately .
It has a wingspan of . Its fur is glossy and variable in color, ranging from pale, reddish brown to dark brown or blackish. Its dental formula is  for a total of 30 teeth.

Biology and ecology
Based on its wing morphology, it likely has a rapid flight. Its flight speed could exceed .

Range and habitat
Its range includes many countries in North, Central, and South America, including: Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Mexico, Suriname, the United States, and Venezuela. It is possibly also found in Uruguay. The individuals documented in Canada and the U.S. states of Iowa and Kansas are considered vagrants or extralimital records. However, the species occurs as a non-vagrant in the U.S. states of Texas, California, Nevada, and Utah. It has been documented at a range of elevations from sea level to  above sea level.

Conservation
As of 2015, it is evaluated as a least-concern species by the IUCN, which is its lowest conservation priority.

Convertibility is the quality that allows money or other financial instruments to be converted into other liquid stores of value. Convertibility is an important factor in international trade, where instruments valued in different currencies must be exchanged.

Currency trading
Freely convertible currencies have immediate value on the different international markets, and few restrictions on the manner and amount that can be traded for another currency. Free convertibility is a major feature of a hard currency.

Some countries pass laws restricting the legal exchange rates of their currencies or requiring permits to exchange more than a certain amount. Some currencies, such as the North Korean won, the Transnistrian ruble, and the Cuban national peso, are officially nonconvertible and can only be exchanged on the black market. If an official exchange rate is set, its value on the black market is often lower.

Convertibility controls may be introduced as part of an overall monetary policy. For example, restrictions on the Argentine peso were introduced during an economic crisis in the 1990s and scrapped in 2002 during a subsequent crisis.

Commodity money

Convertibility first became an issue of significance during the time banknotes began to replace commodity money in the money supply. Under the gold and silver standards, notes were redeemable for coin at face value, though often failing banks and governments would overextend their reserves.

Historically, the banknote has followed a common or very similar pattern in the western nations. Originally decentralized and issued from various independent banks, it was gradually brought under state control and became a monopoly privilege of the central banks. In the process, the principle that the banknote was merely a substitute for the real commodity money (gold and silver) was gradually abandoned.

Under the gold exchange standard, for example the Bretton Woods Institutions, banks of issue were obliged to redeem their currencies in gold bullion, or in United States dollars, which in turn were redeemable in gold bullion at an official rate of $35 per troy ounce. Due to limited growth in the supply of gold reserves, during a time of great inflation of the dollar supply, the United States eventually abandoned the gold exchange standard and thus bullion convertibility in 1974.

Under the contemporary international currency regimes, currencies are issued on the fiat of the issuer (a government or central bank), and carry no guarantee of convertibility to a tangible asset.

In enzymology, a glycolipid 2-alpha-mannosyltransferase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction in which an alpha-D-mannosyl residue is transferred from GDP-mannose to lipid-linked oligosaccharide, being attached by an alpha-1,2-D-mannosyl-D-mannose bond.

This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the hexosyltransferases.  The systematic name of this enzyme class is GDP-mannose:glycolipid 1,2-alpha-D-mannosyltransferase. Other names in common use include guanosine diphosphomannose-oligosaccharide-lipid, mannosyltransferase, GDP-mannose-oligosaccharide-lipid mannosyltransferase, and oligosaccharide-lipid mannosyltransferase.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, 3 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes , , and .

Federico Zandomeneghi (; June 2, 1841 – December 31, 1917) was an Italian Impressionist painter.

Biography
Federico Zandomeneghi was born in Venice. His father Pietro and grandfather Luigi were neoclassic sculptors. The latter completed the monument to Titian found in the Frari of Venice. As a young man, he preferred painting to sculpture, enrolling in 1856 first in the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice, and then in the Academy of Fine Arts of Milan. In 1859, to avoid conscription into the Austrian army, he fled Venice. By the next year in 1860, he tried to join with the forces of Giuseppe Garibaldi (1807-1882) in his Expedition of the Thousand. This made it uncomfortable for him to reside in Venice, leading to a brief incarceration, and in 1862, he moved to Florence for 5 years where he frequented the Caffè Michelangiolo. There he met a number of the artists known as the Macchiaioli, including Signorini, Martorelli, Giovanni Fattori and Giuseppe Abbati, and he joined them in painting landscapes outdoors. Painting outside of the studio, "en plein air", was at that time an innovative approach, allowing for a new vividness and spontaneity in the rendering of light.

By 1866, Zandomeneghi had returned to Venice. In 1871 Pompeo Molmenti wrote glowing assessments of three young Venetian painters: Guglielmo Ciardi, Alessandro Zezzos, and Zandomeneghi. In 1872, he would travel to Rome and paint one of his masterworks; I poverini sui gradini dell'Ara Coeli.

In 1874, he went to Paris, where he was to spend nearly the rest of his life. He quickly made the acquaintance of the Impressionists, who had just had their first group exhibition. Zandomeneghi, whose style of painting was similar to theirs, would participate in four of their later exhibitions, in 1879, 1880, 1881, and 1886. Like his close friend Edgar Degas he was primarily a figure painter, although Zandomeneghi's work was more sentimental in character than Degas'. He also admired the work of Mary Cassatt and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and his many paintings of women in their domestic routines follow their example.
To supplement the meager returns from the sale of his paintings, Zandomeneghi found work drawing illustrations for fashion magazines.

He took up working in pastels in the early 1890s, and became especially adept in this medium. At about this time his reputation and his fortunes were enhanced when the art dealer Durand-Ruel showed Zandomeneghi's work in the United States. From then on he enjoyed continuing modest success until his death in Paris in 1917.
