Title: Sargon II Content: Sargon II (, "legitimate king", reigned 722 – 705 BC) was an Assyrian king. Sargon II became co-regent with Shalmaneser V in 722 BC. Shalmaneser V died in 722 BC. From then on, Sargon II was the only ruler of Assyria. It is not clear if he was the son of Tiglath-Pileser III or a usurper unrelated to the royal family.

He nevertheless took the name Sharru-kinu ("true king"), after Sargon of Akkad — who had founded the first Semitic Empire in the region about 16 centuries earlier.Another "Sargon", a predecessor of Shamshi-Adad of the 18th century BC. Sargon is the Biblical form of the name.
Title: Echium vulcanorum Content: Echium vulcanorum is a plant species that belongs to the Boraginaceae family, the borage family. It is found only in the Fogo island, Cape Verde. It was discovered and named by the French botanist Auguste Jean Baptiste Chevalier. He found the plant with flowers on July 1934. Available on pdf at TelaBotanica ==Common names== It is locally known as lingua de vaca ("tongue of cow") because their leaves are rough. The same name is used for the other species of Echium that are found in Cape Verde: Echium hypertropicum and Echium stenosiphon. ==Description== It is a shrub with many branches, up to 1.5–2 m tall. The stems are covered with many hairs. The leaves are lanceolates (pointed at both ends) up to 10 cm long and 1.5 wide. The flowers are in dense inflorescences (groups of flowers), almost conical, up to 18 cm long, with white flowers with blue stripes. ==Where it grows== Echium vulcanorum is endemic of the Cape Verdean island of Fogo on the volcano Pico do Fogo. It occurs on volcanic soils of Fogo Island, mainly as two populations at Monte Losna/Pico Novo, where they can be found at about 1700 m, and in the border of the crater of the Pico do Fogo (the Bordeira region ) at altitudes between 2200 and 2400 m. A small population was also reported in Chã das Caldeiras (±1600 m). These populations exist generally in places facing to the southwest or the southeast. It prefers soils with a recent volcanic origin. ==Conservation== Echium vulcanorum is used for the production of firewood (dry wood that will be burned) and destroyed by goats, so this species, as well as the other two Echium species of Cape Verde, is seriously threatened, so that measures for its protection should be taken with urgency. Some conservation actions have been done at the Bordeira region (in the Natural Park of Fogo Island) and now there is a population with a relatively high number of individuals.

Title: Torquoselectivity Content: In organic chemistry, torquoselectivity describes electrocyclic reactions that produce one isomer more than the other. An official definition is "the preference for inward or outward rotation of substituents in conrotatory or disrotatory electrocyclic reactions." In other words, a chemical reaction is torquoselective if the groups of atoms that hang from a ring of atoms are more likely to have rotated in a particular direction during the reaction (instead of being equally likely to rotate in both possible directions.) Torquoselectivity is different from the normal diastereoselectivity of pericyclic reactions. Instead it is more selectivity beyond the Woodward–Hoffmann rules. The name comes from the idea that the substituents in an electrocyclization appear to rotate during the reaction. The reaction produces a single product because only one direction of rotation was allowed (that is, the direction of rotation on the substituents was favored). The concept was originally developed by Kendall N. Houk. When a chemical reaction closes a ring, its torquoselectivity is the same as enantioselectivity. A single enantiomer of a cyclization product is formed from the selective ring closure of the starting material. In a typical electrocyclic ring closing, selection for either conrotatory or disrotatory reactions modes still produces two enantiomers. Torquoselectivity is a discrimination between these possible enantiomers that requires asymmetric induction. center|thumb|600px|Conrotatory and disrotatory modes of rotation each showing two possible directions of rotation that result in pairs of enantiomers for a generic hexatriene system. Note: in the case shown, there is no reason for the reaction to be torquoselective and both products would be expected for any particular set of conditions. Torquoselectivity also happens in selective electrocyclic reactions that break open rings. The different directions of rotation produce distinct structural isomers. In these cases, steric strain is often the driving force for the selectivity. Studies have shown that the selectivity can also be changed by the presence of electron donating and electron withdrawing groups. center|thumb|300px|Thermal electrocyclic ring opening of a cyclobutene giving selectivity via steric strain Torquoselectivity can also apply to other mechanisms, including chiral Lewis acid catalysts, induction by neighboring stereocenters (in which case the torquoselectivity is a case of diastereoselectivity), and axial-to-tetrahedral chirality transfer. An example of axial-to-tetrahedral chirality transfer is shown below for the torquoselective Nazarov cyclization reaction of a chiral allenyl vinyl ketone.

Title: Tense (grammar) Content: Tense is the form of a verb that shows the time something happened, or is going to happen.Concise Oxford Dictionary, 9th ed, p1436. There are three main tenses: #Present tense: things that are true when the words are spoken or written. #*Example: She goes to school. In this sentence, goes shows that it is a present tense. It suggests that she regularly goes to school. #*Example: She is going to school. This says she is now going to school. #Past tense: things that were true before the words were spoken or written. #*Example: She went to school. In this sentence, went shows that it is a past tense. #Future tense: things that will be true after the words are spoken or written. #*Example: She will go to school. In this sentence, will shows that it is a future tense. Tense can be shown by changing the spelling of a verb. For example, be can become am, is, and are in present tense, and was and were in past tense. In English, future tense is shown by adding will before the verb. For example, be becomes will be in future tense. Some verb tenses are much more common than others in English. Note: These tenses can be subdivided further (see below). == Aspect == There are also different kinds of tense within each main tense. In addition to tense, verbs can also indicate the completion, progress, or duration of an action. This is done by adding "helping words" or "auxiliary words", such as be and have, before the verb. For example, "I give", "I have given", "I am giving", and "I have been giving" are all in present tense, but have different meanings. This is called aspect.Crystal, David 1995. The Cambridge encyclopedia of the English language, p225: 'Aspects'. Cambridge University Press. ISBN 0-521-40179-8 Other languages have different ways of showing tense. For example, Latin usually shows tense by changing the verb, like English. However, Chinese and Indonesian show tense by adding new words, instead of changing the verb.

Title: Late Old Japanese Content: Late Old Japanese (中古日本語) is an old form of the Japanese language. It was used in the time known as the Heian Period, between 794 and 1185. The form of Japanese that was used before that is called Old Japanese. Old Japanese was the first form of the Japanese language. The script (the way it was written) came from the Chinese script. This was all based on characters which were like little pictures (called kanji today, e.g. 中古日本語). During the Late Old period two new scripts were invented: Hiragana and Katakana. These were much simpler and described the sound of the syllables. It made reading and writing much easier. Famous books were written during this period such as The Tale of Genji, The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, The Tales of Ise and many others. Many changes took place to the way the language was pronounced during this period. Consonants that had been spoken through the nose became voiced, some long vowels were added, some consonants slid into one another. The syllables became simpler: instead of 88 there were only 66. Instead of two types of -i, -e, and –o there were only one. Some verbs ended in a consonant, others in a vowel. The changes in grammar included different ways that adjectives could be declined. ==Related pages== * Old Japanese Category:Japanese language

Title: Jenő Konrád Content: Jenö Konrad (13 August 1894 – 15 July 1978) was a Hungarian footballer and manager. In the 1910s he played on the Hungarian National team with his brother, Kalman Konrad. He is best known for his career as a football manager. He managed SC Wacker Wien, Chinezul Timişoara, Wiener AC, Hakoah Vienna, 1. FC Nürnberg, Ripensia Timişoara, 1. FC Brno, FK Austria Wien, US Triestina, and Olympique Lillois. ==Career== He started playing at the age of 14 when he joined Budapesti AK. At 17 he went to MTK Budapest. Here he made his debut in the main team during the 1911–12 season. With the beginning of the First World War he became soldier, where he rose to the rank of officer. In May 1915 he also received his first call-up to the national team, where he played in the 2-1 win over Austria. This was his only game for Hungary. After around two years as a Russian prisoner of war, he returned to MTK Budapest in the 1918/19 season. As a result of the political unrest in Hungary after the end of the war a number of Hungarian players went to foreign clubs. The sporting director of Wiener Amateur SV Hugo Meisl managed to bring Konrad and his younger brother Kalman to Vienna. The Hungarian federation had a heated argument with the Austrian federation at the time, as most players from Budapest working in Vienna were working without clearance from their home clubs. At the end of 1919 these players lost their permission to play in Vienna. In the spring of 1920 the players were finally released and allowed to play. The Austrian Cup was the first title in 1921, followed in 1924 by the first championship title in club history and another cup victory. After the introduction of professional football in Austria Jenö and Kalman Konrad went to First Vienna FC. Jenö suffered a meniscus injury in 1925, which ended his active career. ==Manager career== Jenö took over the training of the Wiener Amateur SV and led them to their second double in 1926. He then worked for six months at SC Wacker Vienna, Romania's Chinezul Timişoara and two years at Wiener AC and took over SC Hakoah Vienna in 1929. He then became coach of 1. FC Nürnberg, which he led to the semi-finals of the German championship two years later, in which they lost to FC Bayern Munich. The National Socialist newspaper Der Stürmer started a campaign against the Jewish coach and Konrad left the club. He returned to Romania to Ripensia Timisoara and then to SK Židenice in Brno. For the winter break of 1934/35 he returned to Austria in Vienna and led the club from last place in the table to the ÖFB Cup victory. In 1936 he moved to Italy, coached the US Triestina in Serie A and set the club's best result with sixth place. He had to leave the club and Italy in 1938 due to the Italian racial laws. He took over the coaching post at Olympique Lillois and reached the final of the French Cup, which was lost against Racing Paris. Konrad's last station in Europe was Sporting Lisbon, which he was in charge of in the 1939/40 season. Then he and his family emigrated to the USA. There he was no longer active in football.
