Left colic artery

The left colic artery is a branch of the inferior mesenteric artery distributed to the descending colon, and left part of the transverse colon. It ends by dividing into an ascending branch and a descending branch; the terminal branches of the two branches go on to form anastomoses with the middle colic artery, and a sigmoid artery (respectively).

Structure 
The left colic artery usually represents the dominant arterial supply to the left colic flexure.

Course 
The left colic artery passes to the left posterior to the peritoneum. After a short but variable course, it divides into an ascending branch and a descending branch.

Branches and anastomoses

Ascending branch 
The ascending branch passes superior-ward. It passes anterior to the (ipsilateral) psoas major muscle, gonadal vessels, ureter, and kidney; it passes posterior to the inferior mesenteric vein. Its terminal branches form anastomoses with those of the middle colic artery; it also forms anastomoses with the descending branch (of the left colic artery).

Descending branch 
The descending branch passes inferolaterally. It forms anastomoses with the superior-most sigmoid artery as well as the ascending branch (of the left colic artery), thereby participating in the formation of the marginal artery of the colon.

Variation 
The left colic artery may have a common origin with a sigmoid artery, or may arise by branching of from a sigmoid artery. Occasionally, the left colic artery may arise from either the superior mesenteric artery, the middle colic artery, or the proximal-most jejunal artery; rarely, an accessory left colic artery may arise from the aforementioned arteries. An accessory left colic artery may also arise from the left colic artery itself.

Clinical significance 
The left colic artery may be ligated during abdominal surgery to remove colorectal cancer. This may have poorer outcomes than preserving the artery.

Billy Wade (racing driver)

Billy Drew Wade (February 28, 1930January 5, 1965) was an American stock car racing driver.

Career
Billy was the 1963 NASCAR Rookie of the Year for car owner Cotton Owens. He finished the season with 14 Top 10 finishes in 31 races. He won four consecutive races the following year for Bud Moore Engineering between July 10 and July 19, 1964. The four wins give Wade the sole distinction of being the only driver to accomplish this feat with victories at Old Bridge Stadium on July 10, the road course at Bridgehampton, N.Y on the 12th, a July 15 win at Islip Speedway in New York, and his fourth (and final) win at Watkins Glen. Dick Linder also followed his first victory at Dayton with a win at Hamburg; but Wade is the only driver to string four victories in a row once he got his first. He also accumulated five poles and 25 Top 10 finishes in his 35 starts. As of 2017, he is the most recent driver in NASCAR to get his first pole and win in the same weekend.

On January 5, 1965, Wade was performing a tire test at Daytona International Speedway, when a tire blowout caused his car to crash
in the west turn, killing the 34-year-old Texan.

Transverse cervical artery

The transverse cervical artery (transverse artery of neck or transversa colli artery) is an artery in the neck and a branch of the thyrocervical trunk, running at a higher level than the suprascapular artery.

Structure
It passes transversely below the inferior belly of the omohyoid muscle to the anterior margin of the trapezius, beneath which it divides into a superficial and a deep branch.

It crosses in front of the phrenic nerve and the scalene muscles, and in front of or between the divisions of the brachial plexus, and is covered by the platysma and sternocleidomastoid muscles, and crossed by the omohyoid and trapezius.

The transverse cervical artery originates from the thyrocervical trunk, it passes through the posterior triangle of the neck to the anterior border of the levator scapulae muscle, where it divides into deep and superficial branches.
 Superficial branch 
 Ascending branch
 Descending branch (also known as superficial cervical artery, which supplies the middle and lateral portions of the trapezius)
 Deep branch (also called the dorsal scapular artery). Descending branch in older literature. Most often, however, this artery branches directly from the subclavian artery.

Function

Superficial branch
Upon entering the trapezius muscle the superficial branch divides again into an ascending and descending branch. The ascending branch distributes branches to trapezius, and to the neighboring muscles and lymph glands in the neck, and anastomoses with the superficial branch of the descending branch of the occipital artery. The descending branch which is also called as superficial cervical artery, anastomoses with the deep and dorsal scapular artery which in turn links to the subscapular artery. This anastomosis is a ring circulation around the scapula where it continues to the suprascapular artery via the circumflex scapular artery.

Deep branch
The dorsal scapular artery (or descending scapular artery) is a blood vessel which supplies the 
levator scapulae, rhomboids, and trapezius.

It most frequently arises from the subclavian artery (the second or third part), but a quarter of the time it arises from the transverse cervical artery.  In that case, the artery is also known as the deep branch of the transverse cervical artery, and the junction of those two is called cervicodorsal trunk.

It passes beneath the levator scapulae to the superior angle of the scapula, and then descends under the rhomboid muscles along the vertebral border of the scapula as far as the inferior angle.

It anastomoses with the suprascapular and circumflex scapular arteries.

Clay Hart

Henry Clay Hart III (July 1, 1936 – July 28, 2022) was an American country music singer and guitarist who was a member of The Lawrence Welk Show television program from 1969 to 1975.

Biography
Born Henry Clay Hart, III, and reared in Providence, Rhode Island; he attended Amherst College in Amherst, Massachusetts as a theater arts major. Although his passion was in music, he worked as a salesman in a record shop in New York City after graduation and later as a foreign credit analyst on Wall Street but those jobs were brief, for he proceeded to pursue a music career, often performing in small clubs.

While performing in West Virginia, Hart was discovered by Lawrence Welk who was there for a luncheon on behalf of the Cancer Crusade. Impressed with his talent, the maestro signed him as a member of the Champagne Music Makers, where he made his first network television appearance in July 1969.

Hart replaced Lynn Anderson as the show's resident country singer and remained on the show in that capacity until 1975. During Hart's time on the show, he was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance for his 1969 single "Spring", but lost to Johnny Cash.

He released a solo album, Clay Hart: Most Requested Country Favorites from the Ranwood Records label. For several years Hart focused on concert tours and was not recording, but in 1973 he worked with Tommy Alsop to release a new recording from Ranwood.

Hart married Sally Flynn, on December 6, 1974. Flynn had been a vocalist on the Welk show until 1972. The two later became a country singing duo that has opened for stars such as Mel Tillis, Red Skelton, and Juliet Prowse. The couple later taped wraparound segments for reruns of the Welk Show on PBS and have toured the US with their fellow Welk stars in the Forever Blowing Bubbles concert series.

Hart had two children, Elizabeth and Hank, from a previous marriage. Since the show, he had appeared on The Nashville Network, and had  operated a tote bag business with Flynn. They made their home in Cocoa Beach, Florida until his death in 2022.

Esophageal branches of thoracic part of aorta

The esophageal arteries four or five in number, arise from the front of the aorta, and pass obliquely downward to the esophagus, forming a chain of anastomoses along that tube, anastomosing with the esophageal branches of the inferior thyroid arteries above, and with ascending branches from the left inferior phrenic and left gastric arteries below. These arteries supply the middle third of the esophagus.

NGC 4314

NGC 4314 is a barred spiral galaxy approximately 53 million light-years away in the northern constellation of Coma Berenices. It is positioned around 3° to the north and slightly west of the star Gamma Comae Berenices and is visible in a small telescope. The galaxy was discovered by German-born astronomer William Herschel on March 13, 1785. It was labelled as peculiar by Allan Sandage in 1961 because of the unusual structure in the center of the bar. NGC 4314 is a member of the Coma I group of galaxies.

The morphological classification of this galaxy is SBa, which indicates a barred spiral galaxy (SB) with very tightly wound spiral arms (a). It is inclined at an angle of 21° to the line of sight from the Earth, and the primary bar is oriented with a position angle of 158°.  The bar extends out to a diameter of  before joining the spiral arms. These trail in 130° arcs out to a radius of  from the nucleus. Outside the nuclear region, the galaxy is considered generally gas-poor, with no H II regions in the outer spiral arms.

There is a prominent ring of star formation about the galactic nucleus with a radius of . 76 open clusters of stars have been found associated with this ring, and these are probably due, at least in part, to Lindblad resonance. Most of these clusters are 15 million years old or less. The current burst of galactic star formation is estimated to have lasted 30 million years. External to the ring, the stars are generally older than within the ring structure, suggesting a previous epoch of star formation.

Middle genicular artery

The middle genicular artery (azygos articular artery) is a small branch of the popliteal artery. It supplies parts of the knee joint.

Structure 
The middle genicular artery (MGA) arises from the anterolateral surface of the popliteal artery. This point of origin is distal to the superior genicular arteries, and between, equidistantly,  the medial condyle of femur and the lateral condyle of femur. As a normal variation, the MGA may emerge from the popliteal artery at a common point of origin shared with the superior lateral genicular artery, or both vessels may arise at separate, distinct points. 

The angle at which the middle genicular artery leaves the popliteal artery varies with flexion and extension of the knee. It may form a near 90° angle when the knee is flexed, but an angle of only between 15° and 30° when the knee is extended.

The diameter of the MGA is between , and its length between . It has two venae comitantes along its length. It pierces the oblique popliteal ligament and the joint capsule of the knee.

Function 
The middle genicular artery supplies the anterior cruciate ligament and the posterior cruciate ligament. It also supplies the synovial membrane at the bottom of the knee.

Clinical significance 
The middle genicular artery may be damaged during knee arthroscopy, particularly using a posterior approach through the popliteal fossa. It may also be damaged in traumatic injuries to the knee, often caused by sports.

Lateral superior genicular artery

The lateral superior genicular artery is a branch of the popliteal artery that supplies a portion of the knee joint.

Anatomy

Course and relations 
It passes above the lateral condyle of the femur. It runs deep to the tendon of the biceps femoris.

Branches 
It divides into a superficial and a deep branch; the superficial branch supplies the vastus lateralis, and anastomoses with the descending branch of the lateral femoral circumflex and the lateral inferior genicular arteries; the deep branch supplies the lower part of the femur and knee-joint, and forms an anastomotic arch across the front of the bone with the highest genicular and the medial inferior genicular arteries.

Medial superior genicular artery

The medial superior genicular artery is a branch of the popliteal artery. It runs deep to the semimembranosus, semitendinosus, and tendon of the adductor magnus, and superior to the medial head of the gastrocnemius.

It divides into two branches, one of which supplies the vastus medialis, anastomosing with the highest genicular and medial inferior genicular arteries; the other ramifies close to the surface of the femur, supplying it and the knee-joint, and anastomosing with the lateral superior genicular artery.

The medial superior genicular artery is frequently of small size, a condition which is associated with an increase in the size of the highest genicular.

Soul (building)

Soul is a  tall residential tower local along the Esplanade, close to Cavill Avenue in Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. it is the 3rd tallest building on the Gold Coast behind Ocean which topped out in late 2021 but above Circle at Cavil. The building was approved by the Gold Coast City Council in October 2004 and finished construction in 2012 along with the next stage of the Gold Coast renovation project.

It was developed by Juniper Group, and constructed by Grocon at a cost of A$850 million.

History
The site was previously occupied by the Raptis Plaza. By early April 2010 construction of the core structure had reached level 40. By July 2010 the tower had reached  half the structure's total height. On the 14 March 2011, workers left the site in protest at the sacking of 11 Australian tilers while Korean workers were allowed to stay. Owners of units from level 39 and below were able to move into their properties before the building was complete. Some shops had opened in the retail section in mid 2010.

The tower was designed by the local architectural company DBI Design PL.The design includes 288 units on 77 floors and 5,700 m² of retail space. An average square metre cost of A$16,490, made Soul the highest priced units on the Gold Coast at the time.

Units
Soul's penthouse, which spans four levels, was Australia's highest-selling apartment at A$16.75 million. Beneath the penthouse are three sub-penthouses each occupying a whole floor. Sales were strong between 2006 and 2008, however the 2007 global financial crisis curtailed purchases. All units in the building were sold for more than $1 million each.

Buyers from China were specifically targeted after strong sales from Chinese visitors were recorded early in 2010. Overall most purchases were made from people living in the South East Queensland region. In early 2009 sales of units in Soul had slowed with just over 100 units still for sale. By July 2010, three-quarters of the units had been sold.

Receivership
The development was placed into receivership in October 2012. At the time at least 88 units in the building remained unsold. Earlier, Grocon had started legal proceedings against Juniper Group over alleged outstanding payments for construction.

Management
From November 2013, Mantra Group took over the management rights of Soul from the receivers & manager, PwC.

Short gastric arteries

The short gastric arteries are of 5-7 small branches of the splenic artery that pass along part of the greater curvature of the stomach from left to right between the layers of the gastrolienal ligament, and are distributed to the greater curvature of the stomach.

Structure

Origin 
The short gastric arteries arise from the end of the splenic artery and its terminal divisions.

Distribution 
The short gastric arteries supply the fundus of the stomach on the side of the greater curvature of the stomach.

Anastomoses 
The short gastric arteries form anastomoses with branches of the left gastric artery, and left gastro-omental artery.

Unlike the gastroepiploics and the left and right gastric arteries, the short gastric arteries have poor anastomoses if the splenic artery is blocked.

Vinstradalen

Vinstradalen valley is located in Oppdal municipality, Trøndelag county, Norway. Vinstradalen is a side valley to the valley of Drivdalen.

Vinstradal is a narrow V-shaped valley with steep valley sides and with a canyon in the valley's north end. The valley is covered by a mountain birch forest. Geologically, Vinstra valley consists mostly of rocks dating from the Cambrian, Ordovician and Silurian geologic period. There is considerable formation of alternately layered shale and limestone from the period, with some sandstone and mica.

Right gastric artery

The right gastric artery usually arises from the proper hepatic artery. It descends to the pyloric end of the stomach before passing from right to left along its lesser curvature, supplying it with branches, and finally anastomosing with the left gastric artery.

Anatomy

Variation 
Origin

In most (53%) individuals, the RGA arises from the proper hepatic artery. It can also arise from the region of division of the common hepatic artery (20%), the left branch of the hepatic artery (15%), the gastroduodenal artery (8%), and - most rarely - the common hepatic artery itself (4%).

Novena on a Nocturn

Novena on a Nocturn is the debut album of the band The Good Life from Omaha, Nebraska. The band is the side project of Tim Kasher, lead singer of Cursive. It was released on Better Looking Records in 2000.

Concept 
This album was inspired by Tim Kasher's failed relationship and bitter divorce from his first wife Kim in 2000. The name shows the concept of the album as a novena, a Catholic devotion consisting of nine separate days of prayers, reflecting the album's nine tracks. The first track, "A Dim Entrance", depicts a character who is in the middle of a failing relationship and exhausted from trying to save it (Send me to bed, And I fall asleep / To an overwhelming sad). The remaining tracks are all introspective reflections into the relationship of the main character and his evaluation of the relationship. "The Competition" provides the listener with an overview of the relationship, from beginning to what will ultimately be the end. The final song, "A Golden Exit" describes the conversation between the main character and his estranged lover, ending the relationship and looking forward to a bright, new beginning for both people (Maybe we'll wake up with golden wings, Maybe we'll get wings / anything to set us free).

Track listing
 "A Dim Entrance"  – 3:38
 "The Moon Red Handed"  – 2:54
 "Your Birthday Present"  – 4:15
 "An Acquaintance Strikes a Chord"  – 3:12

Pierre Rameau

Pierre Rameau (1674 – 26 January 1748), was the French dancing master to Elisabetta Farnese, and the author of two books that now provide us with valuable information about Baroque dance.

Rameau's first book, Le Maître à Danser (1725, Paris), was a dance manual giving instruction on formal ballroom dancing in the French style.  The first part covers posture, reverences, steps, and the ballroom minuet, while the second part is concerned entirely with the use of the arms.  His second book, Abbregé de la Nouvelle Methode (c1725, Paris), described a modified version of Beauchamp–Feuillet notation and included several choreographies by Pécour in the new notation.  While Rameau's notation was not generally adopted, his information about the shortcomings of Beauchamp–Feuillet notation provides dance historians with clarifications about the execution of the steps.

Middle suprarenal arteries

The middle suprarenal artery (middle capsular artery) is a paired artery in the abdomen. It is a branch of the aorta. It supplies the adrenal gland.

Structure

Origin 
The middle suprarenal artery (usually) arises from lateral aspect of the abdominal aorta. Its origin occurs at roughly the same level as that of the superior mesenteric artery.

Course 
The vessel passes laterally and slightly superior-ward, passing over the crura of the diaphragm to reach the surface of the ipsilateral suprarenal gland, whereupon it forms anastomoses with the other suprarenal arteries.

Relations 
The anatomical relations of the left and right middle superior artery differ. The right vessel crosses the inferior vena cava posteriorly near the right celiac ganglion. The left vessel passes near the right celiac ganglion, superior margin of the spleen, and splenic artery.

Variation 
There is usually a single middle suprarenal artery (on either side of the body), but in some individuals, there may be multiple, or the vessel may be absent.

The vessel may sometimes arise from the (ipsilateral) renal artery, or (ipsilateral) inferior phrenic artery.

Function 
The middle suprarenal artery supplies the adrenal gland.

Clinical significance 
The middle suprarenal artery may be assessed using Doppler ultrasound.

History 
The middle suprarenal artery may also be known as the middle adrenal artery or the middle capsular artery.

Transverse facial artery

The transverse facial artery is an artery that branches from the superficial temporal artery and runs across the face.

Course
The transverse facial artery is given off from the superficial temporal artery before that vessel leaves the parotid gland; running forward through the substance of the gland, it passes transversely across the side of the face, between the parotid duct and the lower border of the zygomatic arch, and divides into numerous branches, which supply the parotid gland and parotid duct, the masseter muscle, and the integument, and anastomose with the facial artery, the masseteric artery, the buccinator artery, and the infraorbital artery.

This vessel rests on the masseter, and is accompanied by one or two branches of the facial nerve.

Ileocolic artery

The ileocolic artery is the lowest branch arising from the concavity of the superior mesenteric artery. It supplies the cecum, ileum, and appendix.

It passes downward and to the right behind the peritoneum toward the right iliac fossa, where it divides into a superior and an inferior branch: the inferior gives rise to the appendicular artery and anastomoses with the end of the superior mesenteric artery; the superior branch anastomoses with the right colic artery.

Anatomy

Branches 
The inferior branch of the ileocolic runs toward the upper border of the ileocolic junction and produces the following branches:
 colic branch of ileocolic artery, which passes upward on the ascending colon - from the posterior branch of the inferior branch of the ileocolic artery
 ileocecal (some sources acknowledge this division  while others do not)
 anterior cecal artery and posterior cecal artery, which are distributed to the front and back of the cecum
 ileal branch of ileocolic artery, which runs upward and to the left on the lower part of the ileum and anastomoses with the termination of the superior mesenteric artery
 an appendicular artery

Ileocolic

In many Animalia, including humans, an ileocolic structure or problem is something that concerns the region of the gastrointestinal tract  from the ileum to the colon. In Animalia that have ceca, the ileocecal region is a subset of the ileocolic region, and the entire range can also be described as ileocecocolic, whereas in some Animalia, the ileocolic region contains no cecum, as the ileum joins the colon directly. 

Things that are ileocolic, ileocecal, or both include the following: 
 Ileocecal fold
 Ileocecal/ileocolic intussusception
 Ileocecal valve
 Ileocolic artery
 Ileocolic lymph nodes
