Francesco Basilicata (died c. 1640) was a 17th-century Italian cartographer and military engineer. Basilicata worked in the service of the Republic of Venice and is known for his maps and drawings of the island of Crete.

Life
Very little is known about Basilicata's life. Gerola has suggested that he might have been from Palermo. Other sources claim that he was from Campania and came to Basilicata to work. When he returned home, he would have taken the surname Basilicata. However, it is certain that Basilicata lived on Crete for several years during the first decades of the 17th century, near the end of the  Venetian presence on the island.

Work

Basilicata probably arrived on Crete around 1609, at a time when the island was an overseas colony of the Republic of Venice known as the Kingdom of Candia after its capital, Candia or Chandax (modern Heraklion). During the course of several years and based on his first-hand experience, Basilicata produced three different sets of drawings and maps (dated 1612, 1618–19, and 1629–30). His Atlas, composed around 1618 and today preserved in Museo Correr, is his most famous work.

Basilicata makes skillful use of color to highlight the topography of each region. He meticulously draws every important detail in an aesthetically pleasing manner and often uses vantage points which are unusual and original for the time. In addition to maps, Basilicata also produced several manuscripts concerned mainly with the state of the fortifications of Crete, but also its geography, history, archaeology, administration, and economy.

It has been suggested that Basilicata's 1612 map was copied by Marco Boschini, whose 1651 map entitled The Entire Kingdom of Candia strongly influenced the cartography of Crete in Italy and abroad. However, other authors do not accept this claim and, despite not denying Basilicata's influence on Boschini's map, consider the latter to be the result of collective work by several engineers.

Ruma Banerjee is a professor of enzymology and biological chemistry at the University of Michigan Medical School.  She is an experimentalist whose research has focused on unusual cofactors in enzymology.

Research 
Banerjee's work focuses on the enzymes, coenzymes and metabolic pathways that support and interact with the sulfur network in mammals. The enzymes that she studies are involved in the biogenesis and oxidation of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and in the assimilation, trafficking and utilization of the essential vitamin B12 cofactor. The coenzymes that she studies include vitamins B2 (flavin), B6 (pyridoxal phosphate), B12 (cobalamin), and heme, which support key junction enzymes that commit the flow of sulfur to metabolic tributaries and are major hubs of regulation. Her research is focused on understanding how H2S signals by targeting energy metabolism, with consequent impact on redox, central carbon, nucleotide and lipid metabolism. Her research been instrumental in elucidating the structural enzymology of the complex B12 trafficking pathway chaperones found in humans, illuminating how redox-linked coordination chemistry controls the reactivity and translocation of this large organometallic cofactor between proteins, and how mutations described in homocystinuria and methylmalonic aciduria patients, dysregulate this pathway.

Editorial 
Since 2012, Professor Banerjee has been an Associate Editor for Chemical Reviews and the Journal of Biological Chemistry. She has authored two textbooks on the chemistry and biological effects of Vitamin B12 and on reduction / oxidation cascades in biological systems.

Ulysses Livingston (January 29, 1912, Bristol, Tennessee - October 7, 1988, Los Angeles) was an American jazz guitarist and bass guitarist.

Livingston's career in music began in the band of Horace Henderson as a roadie (or, as Henderson called them, "valet"). Prior to this he had played in the band of the West Virginia State College. After his period with Henderson he played in carnival bands on traveling road shows. In the middle of the 1930s he began to get jazz gigs with Lil Armstrong, Frankie Newton, Sammy Price, Coleman Hawkins, and Benny Carter. After moving to New York City, he accompanied Ella Fitzgerald on tour and on record. He served briefly in the military during World War II, but returned to jazz playing on the West Coast in 1943. He played with Cee Pee Johnson in Hawaii in 1947.

Alongside his guitar playing, Livingston also sang with the Spirits of Rhythm, and led a group called the Four Blazes. From the 1950s he did freelance work with West Coast jazz musicians and also became active as a record producer. In the 1970s he took up electric bass alongside the guitar, and recorded with both instruments.

The Bennington Fish Hatchery, also known as the Bennington Fish Culture Station, is a state-operated fish hatchery at 110 Hatchery Road in Bennington, Vermont, USA. The station, the state's largest, produces a variety of trout, which are used to stock the state's water resources.  Its facilities, dating to 1916, are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The station has a visitors' center that is open daily.

Description
The Bennington Fish Culture Station is located southeast of downtown Bennington, on the east side of South Stream Road, which generally parallels South Stream, a north-flowing tributary of the Walloomsac River. The station has infrastructure on both sides of the stream, including a small cluster of buildings and a series of fish ponds and raceways, on more than  of property.

Buildings of the complex include several that date to the hatchery's founding as an experimental station in 1916. These include the original superintendent's office and residence, which now serves as its visitors' center, and the main hatchery building, a handsome Colonial Revival structure, both of which were completed in 1917.

The fishery currently produces stocks of brown trout, brook trout and rainbow trout, which are distributed to Vermont's lakes and ponds.

History
The station was established by the state on an experimental basis in 1916, after an earlier experimental station in Arlington was found inadequate. This one was made permanent after the quality and reliability of its water sources was assured. It grew to become a model fish hatchery by the 1930s, distributing thousands of pounds of fingerlings and fry throughout the state. Its facilities were significantly expanded in the 1940s with funding from the Works Progress Administration.

Paul Ragueneau (18 March 1608 – 3 September 1680) was a Catholic Jesuit missionary.

Biography

He was born in Paris and died in the same city. He is sometimes confused with his elder brother François, also a Jesuit. Father François Ragueneau accompanied Father Charles Lalemant who was returning to Canada in 1628. Their vessel was captured by Kirke who was then blockading the St. Lawrence and he was sent as a prisoner to England. It cannot be determined whether Francois ever did visit the Canadian missions.

Paul Ragueneau became a novice in the Society of Jesus in 1626.
From 1628 to 1632 he taught at the Collège in Bourges after which he furthered his religious training at the College of La Flèche. From there, he went to Quebec in 1636.

Upon arriving in Quebec, he was almost immediately sent to the Huron mission where he worked under the instruction of Fathers Jean de Brébeuf and Jérôme Lalemant for eight years. In 1645 he became superior of the Huron mission. During his time as superior, a number of his missionaries met their deaths, the first being Father Antoine Daniel (4 July, 1648). They became known as the Canadian Martyrs. He remained at his post on St. Mary's on the Wye until 1649, when persuaded by the Huron leaders to join the fugitives on St. Joseph's island (1649).

After a bloody defeat, followed by the massacres of Fathers Noël Chabanel and Charles Garnier, Ragueneau, yielding to the entreaties of the few whom famine, pestilence, and the fury of the Iroquois had spared, led the small band of 400 survivors, the remnants of a nation of ten thousand, to their final refuge, Quebec, after a long and perilous journey. Ragueneau wrote the Relations of the Hurons of 1648–49, 1649–50, 1650–51, and 1651–52 which describes the destruction of the mission.

In 1650, he became vice-rector of the College of Quebec, and superior of the Canadian mission. In 1656, Ragueneau was assigned to the residence at Trois-Rivières. In 1657, he left for Sainte-Marie-de-Ganentaa. He was part of the times that saw the departure of Fathers Chaumonot, Le Moyne, and other missionaries. This first attempt at an organized apostolate among the Iroquois had failed.

In 1662 he returned to France and remained there as procurator of the mission. Ragueneau died in Paris 3 September 1680.

The Parish Municipality of Ragueneau in Quebec, Canada, is named after him.  In July 2012, there were proposals to name a Canadian federal riding after him.

Machakaaran is a 2007 Indian Tamil romantic action film written and directed by Tamilvannan of Kalvanin Kadhali fame. The film stars Jeevan and Kamna Jethmalani in lead roles. The film score and soundtrack were composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja. The film was released on 8 November 2007 during Diwali and released to negative reviews. However, the film was dubbed into Telugu later and released as Dheera in 2009.

Plot
Vicky (Jeevan) is the eldest son of a railway officer. He is a perpetual loser in whatever he does and is looked down by his other family members. One day, he meets Shivani (Kamna Jethmalani), the daughter of a rich textile tycoon, who has brought all the luck to her father Rajangam (G. M. Kumar). Soon, the "unlucky" Vicky is drawn towards the "lucky" Shivani, and they fall madly in love. Due to circumstances, they are forced to elope, with Shivani’s cop brother in hot pursuit. The lovers decide to go to Rajangam’s village in Theni, where he is considered and treated as "Mr. Nice Guy", a philanthropist and savior of the locals, and is given the honour of conducting the temple Thiruvizha every year. How the runaway couple against all odds rips his good guy image and exposes him in front of the entire village forms the rest of this predictable yarn.

Cast

Soundtrack

For the musical score of Machakaaran, director Thamizhvaanan teamed up with composer Yuvan Shankar Raja again, after the duo gave chart-topping songs in the director's previous venture Kalvanin Kadhali (2005). The soundtrack, which features 5 tracks overall, was released on 24 October 2007 and garnered generally positive reviews.
