William Tomyn

William Tomyn (October 4, 1905 – October 5, 1972) was a politician and teacher from Alberta, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from 1935 to 1952 and again from 1959 to 1971 as a member of the Social Credit Party.

Early life
Tomyn taught in a one-room school house in Plain Lake, Alberta.

Political career
Tomyn ran for a seat in the Alberta Legislature under the Social Credit banner in the 1935 Alberta general election, in the electoral district of Whitford. He defeated three other candidates, including incumbent Isidore Goresky and former MLA Andrew Shandro.

The district of Whitford was later abolished in redistribution in 1940.  Tomyn ran in the new electoral district of Willingdon in the election held that year and won with a large majority.

Tomyn ran for a third term in the 1944 Alberta general election. He defeated Co-operative Commonwealth candidate L.L. Kostash on the second count to hold his seat.

Tomyn ran for a fourth term in the 1948 Alberta general election. He defeated Co-operative Commonwealth Federation candidate Nick Dushenski by 250 votes.

Tomyn faced Dushenski again in the 1952 election and was defeated in a close race on the second count.

Tomyn attempted a comeback as the Social Credit candidate in the new electoral district of Edmonton Norwood in the 1959 general election.  He defeated four other candidates in a landslide. He thus became one of the few persons to have held both urban and rural districts in the Alberta legislature.

In the 1963 Alberta general election, Tomyn's share of the popular vote was significantly reduced since the last election but he was still returned with a comfortable majority.

In the 1967 general election, Tomyn faced NDP candidate and future MLA Grant Notley, whom he defeated by a margin of 1,000 votes.

Tomyn retired from the Alberta Legislature at dissolution in 1971.  The length of his service made him the sixth longest-serving member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta to date.

Pericardiacophrenic artery

The pericardiacophrenic artery is a long slender branch of the internal thoracic artery.

Anatomy

Origin 
The pericardiacophrenic artery branches from the internal thoracic artery.

Course 
The pericardiacophrenic arteries travel through the thoracic cavity. They course through the fibrous pericardium. The pericardiacophrenic artery accompanies the phrenic nerve between the pleura and pericardium, to the diaphragm. This is where both the artery and the phrenic nerve are distributed.

Distribution 
The pericardiacophrenic arteries provide arterial supply to the fibrous pericardium, and (along with the musculophrenic arteries) the diaphragm.

Anastomoses 
It anastomoses with the musculophrenic, and superior phrenic arteries.

Thomas Walker Arnold

Sir Thomas Walker Arnold  (19 April 1864 – 9 June 1930) was a British orientalist and historian of Islamic art. He taught at Muhammadan Anglo-Oriental College, later Aligarh Muslim University, and Government College University, Lahore.

Arnold was a friend of Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, who influenced him to write the famous book The Preaching of Islam, and of Shibli Nomani, with whom he taught at Aligarh. He taught Syed Sulaiman Nadvi and the poet-philosopher Muhammad Iqbal. He was the first English editor for the first edition of The Encyclopaedia of Islam.

Life

Thomas Walker Arnold was born in Devonport, Plymouth on 19 April 1864, and educated at the City of London School. From 1888 he worked as a teacher at the Muhammadan Anglo-Oriental College, Aligarh. In 1892 he married Celia Mary Hickson, a niece of Theodore Beck.

In 1898, he accepted a post as Professor of Philosophy at the Government College, Lahore and later became Dean of the Oriental Faculty at Punjab University.

From 1904 to 1909, he was on the staff of the India Office as Assistant Librarian. In 1909 he was appointed Educational Adviser to Indian students in Britain. From 1917 to 1920 he acted as Adviser to the Secretary of State for India. He was Professor of Arabic and Islamic Studies at the School of Oriental Studies, University of London, from 1921 to 1930.

Arnold was invested as a Companion of the Order of the Indian Empire in 1912, and in 1921 was invested as a knight. He died on 9 June 1930.

Intestinal arteries

The intestinal arteries arise from the convex side of the superior mesenteric artery. They are usually from twelve to fifteen in number, and are distributed to the jejunum and ileum.

Nomenclature
The term "intestinal arteries" can be confusing, because these arteries only serve a small portion of the intestines.
 They do not supply any of the large intestine. The large intestine is primarily supplied by the right colic artery, middle colic artery, and left colic artery.
 They do not supply the duodenum of the small intestine. The duodenum is primarily supplied by the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery and superior pancreaticoduodenal artery.

For clarity, some sources prefer instead using the more specific terms ileal arteries and jejunal arteries.

Path
They run nearly parallel with one another between the layers of the mesentery, each vessel dividing into two branches, which unite with adjacent branches, forming a series of arches (arterial arcades), the convexities of which are directed toward the intestine.

From this first set of arches branches arise, which unite with similar branches from above and below and thus a second series of arches is formed; from the lower branches of the artery, a third, a fourth, or even a fifth series of arches may be formed, diminishing in size the nearer they approach the intestine.

In the short, upper part of the mesentery only one set of arches exists, but as the depth of the mesentery increases, second, third, fourth, or even fifth groups are developed.

The differences between the ileal arteries and the jejunal arteries can be summarized as follows:

From the terminal arches numerous small straight vessels (vasa recta) arise which encircle the intestine, upon which they are distributed, ramifying between its coats.

From the intestinal arteries small branches are given off to the lymph glands and other structures between the layers of the mesentery.

Superior pancreaticoduodenal artery

The superior pancreaticoduodenal artery is an artery that supplies blood to the duodenum and pancreas.

Structure 
It is a branch of the gastroduodenal artery, which most commonly arises from the common hepatic artery of the celiac trunk, although there are numerous variations of the origin of the gastroduodenal artery.

The pancreaticoduodenal artery divides into two branches as it descends, an anterior and posterior branch. These branches then travel around the head of the pancreas and duodenum, eventually joining with the anterior and posterior branches of the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery. The inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery is a branch of the superior mesenteric artery. These arteries, together with the pancreatic branches of the splenic artery, form connections or anastomoses with one another, allowing blood to perfuse the pancreas and duodenum through multiple channels.

Distribution 
The artery supplies the anterior and posterior sides of the duodenum and head of pancreas, with the anterior branch supply the anterior surface and similarly for the posterior.

The artery supplies the part of the duodenum proximal to the level of the major duodenal papilla of the descending part of the duodenum.

Arteries of the abdomen
Inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery

The inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery (the IPDA) is a branch of the superior mesenteric artery. It supplies the head of the pancreas, and the ascending and inferior parts of the duodenum. Rarely, it may have an aneurysm.

Structure 
The inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery is a branch of the superior mesenteric artery. This occurs opposite the upper border of the inferior part of the duodenum. As soon as it branches, it divides into anterior and posterior branches. These run between the head of the pancreas and the lesser curvature of the duodenum. They then join (anastomose) with the anterior and posterior branches of the superior pancreaticoduodenal artery.

Variation 
The inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery may branch from the first intestinal branch of the superior mesenteric artery rather than directly from it.

Function 
The inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery distributes branches to the head of the pancreas and to the ascending and inferior parts of the duodenum.

Clinical significance

Aneurysm 
Very rarely, the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery may have an aneurysm. It may be caused by certain medical interventions, major trauma, pancreatitis, cholecystitis, and vasculitis and other infections. A ruptured aneurysm causes abdominal pain, and haemorrhage leads to hypotension. It may be treated with open abdominal surgery. It may also be treated with endovascular surgery, such as a coil. These aneurysms represent around 2% of aneurysms in visceral arteries of the abdomen. Pseudoaneurysm may also occur.

History 
The inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery may be more simply known by the acronym IPDA.

WGTX

WGTX (102.3 FM, "The Greatest Hits On Earth") is a radio station licensed to Truro, Massachusetts.  The station is owned by GCJH inc.

History
Shortly after the station was licensed (as WTUR in 1988 and later WCDJ in 1992), the original owners, Truro Wireless, Inc., ran into opposition from the Truro local government, who objected to a radio tower being built within the town limits.  Until such a tower was built, the station could not air a regular broadcast schedule.  In lieu of a tower, WCDJ would occasionally broadcast just long enough, via a small transmitter, at 340 watts, to keep their FCC license intact. The first of these limited broadcasts occurred in August 1999.

On March 29, 2007, the FCC granted a transfer of the WCDJ license to Dunes 102FM LLC.  The new owners got the call letters changed to WGTX, and began full broadcast service as "Dunes 102: Cape Cod's Oldies Radio" on August 5, 2007. 

In 2012, the station dropped the "Oldies" moniker from its branding, re-branding itself as "Cape Cod's 102.3, The Dunes", in light of the format-wide re-branding of 'oldies' stations.

On March 31, 2021, the station began stunting with an unknown amount of diverse songs. The next day on April 1, 2021, the station was purchased and rebranded as X1023.FM The Greatest Hits On Earth by Gary Hanna owner of GCJH Inc. based in Brewster, Massachusetts. The station began broadcasting in HD for the first time and offers 2 additional HD Radio formats. Formats include The Whale; Nex-Gen Classic Rock; and Acoustic Cafe, a light acoustic format.

Deep palmar arch

The deep palmar arch (deep volar arch) is an arterial network found in the palm. It is usually primarily formed from the terminal part of the radial artery. The ulnar artery also contributes through an anastomosis. This is in contrast to the superficial palmar arch, which is formed predominantly by the ulnar artery.

Structure 
The deep palmar arch is usually primarily formed from the radial artery. The ulnar artery also contributes through an anastomosis.

The deep palmar arch lies upon the bases of the metacarpal bones and on the interossei of the hand. It is deep to the oblique head of the adductor pollicis muscle, the flexor tendons of the fingers, and the lumbricals of the hand.

Alongside of it, but running in the opposite direction—toward the radial side of the hand—is the deep branch of the ulnar nerve.

The superficial palmar arch is more distally located than the deep palmar arch. If one were to fully extend the thumb and draw a line from the distal border of the thumb across the palm, this would be the level of the superficial palmar arch (Boeckel's line). The deep palmar arch is about a finger width proximal to this. The connection between the deep and superficial palmar arterial arches is an example of anastomosis. This anastomosis can be tested for using Allen's test.

The palmar metacarpal arteries arise from the deep palmar arch.

Function 
The deep palmar arch supplies the thumb and the lateral side of the index finger.

Iva annua

Iva annua, the annual marsh elder or sumpweed, is a North American herbaceous annual plant in the family Asteraceae that was historically cultivated by Native Americans for its edible seed.

Description
Iva annua is an annual herb up to 150 cm (5 feet) tall. The plant produces many small flower heads in a narrow, elongated, spike-like array, each head with 11–17 disc florets but no ray florets.

Distribution
It is native to northeastern Mexico (Tamaulipas) and to the central and southern United States, primarily the Great Plains and Mississippi Valley as far north as North Dakota. There are some populations in the eastern US, but these appear to represent introductions.

Conservation
NatureServe evaluated Iva annua in 1998 as globally secure, G5.

Uses
Iva annua was cultivated for its edible seed by Native Americans around 4,000 years ago in the central and eastern United States as part of the Eastern Agricultural Complex. It was especially important to the indigenous peoples of the Kansas City Hopewell culture in present-day Missouri and Illinois. The edible parts contain 32 percent protein and 45 percent oil.

However, like its relative ragweed, sumpweed possesses many objectionable qualities which include being a severe potential allergen and possessing a disagreeable odor. Probably for these reasons it was abandoned after more pleasant alternatives (such as maize) were available and, by the time Europeans arrived in the Americas, had long disappeared as a crop.

Alive (Melissa O'Neil song)

"Alive" is a pop song performed by Canadian Idol season three winner Melissa O'Neil. It was written for the final two contestants—O'Neil and Rex Goudie—of the third season of Canadian Idol, and both performed a different version of the song. When O'Neil won the competition, Sony BMG released "Alive" as her debut single in October 2005 (see 2005 in music). The single was produced by Rob Wells, who also shares the writing credits with J. Cates and L. Robbins. The single was recorded, engineered and mixed by Chris Anderson for Definitive Sound in Mississauga, Ontario. Executive produced by Jennifer Hyland

In "Alive", the narrator promises to live her life more fully. "Even if I crash down and burn out", she proclaims in the refrain, "at least I'm gonna know what it's like / to feel alive".

The song debuted at number one on the Canadian Singles Chart. It remained at the top for seven weeks and was eventually certified platinum for sales of more than 40,000 copies. "Alive" reached the BDS Airplay Chart top five.

No music video was filmed for "Alive"; its success was solely off O'Neil's win on Canadian Idol.

On the season 4 finale of Canadian Idol, Melissa was presented with a 4-time multi-platinum record for "Alive" by Craig Sharpe, the runner-up of that season.

The song was later covered by Becki Ryan for the film Flicka.

Lowry protein assay

The Lowry protein assay is a biochemical assay for determining the total level of protein in a solution. The total protein concentration is exhibited by a color change of the sample solution in proportion to protein concentration, which can then be measured using colorimetric techniques. It is named for the biochemist Oliver H. Lowry who developed the reagent in the 1940s. His 1951 paper describing the technique is the most-highly cited paper ever in the scientific literature, cited over 300,000 times.

Mechanism
The method combines the reactions of copper ions with the peptide bonds under alkaline conditions (the Biuret test) with the oxidation of aromatic protein residues. The Lowry method is based on the reaction of Cu+, produced by the oxidation of peptide bonds, with Folin–Ciocalteu reagent (a mixture of phosphotungstic acid and phosphomolybdic acid in the Folin–Ciocalteu reaction). The reaction mechanism is not well understood, but involves reduction of the Folin–Ciocalteu reagent and oxidation of aromatic residues (mainly tryptophan, also tyrosine). Experiments have shown that cysteine is also reactive to the reagent. Therefore, cysteine residues in protein probably also contribute to the absorbance seen in the Lowry assay. The result of this reaction is an intense blue molecule known as heteropolymolybdenum Blue. The concentration of the reduced Folin reagent (heteropolymolybdenum Blue) is measured by absorbance at 660 nm. As a result, the total concentration of protein in the sample can be deduced from the concentration of tryptophan and tyrosine residues that reduce the Folin–Ciocalteu reagent.

The method was first proposed by Lowry in 1951. The bicinchoninic acid assay and the Hartree–Lowry assay are subsequent modifications of the original Lowry procedure.

Music of the Aosta Valley

The development of music in the Aosta Valley region of Italy reflects the multilingual make-up of the region including French, Valdôtain and recently Italian.

History 
Similarly to nearby Piedmont and nearby Alpine French-speaking regions (Savoy and Valais), music has much to do with the presence of medieval monasteries that preserved important musical manuscripts from the Middle Ages and also served as conduits of information and influence from areas to the north.

Folk artists 
The main modern singers and songwriters in Aosta Valley are:
Naïf Hérin, from Quart;
Louis de Jyaryot, from Ayas;
Maura Susanna, from Saint-Vincent;
Magui Bétemps, from Valtournenche.

The traditional Aostan songs in Valdôtain and in French form the core of the activity of the band Trouveur valdotèn.

Village bands 
The tradition of village bands is widely developed in the Valley for all age ranges. All bands gather once a year in Aosta during an event organized by the Federation des harmonies valdôtaines.

Regional Symphony Orchestra 
The city of Aosta is the home of a Youth Symphony and, since 1999, the Orchestre d'harmonie du Val d'Aoste, who regularly gives among others a New Year's concert (Concert du nouvel an) in Pont-Saint-Martin.

Events 
The main musical events in the Aosta Valley are:
 Aosta Classica: in the Aostan Roman Theatre
 Châteaux en musique: in the castles in Gressoney-Saint-Jean, Issogne, Saint-Pierre, Sarre and Verrès
 Étoiles et musique

As well, Aosta hosts an International Festival of Chamber Music and an interesting Silent Film Festival with live musical accompaniment.

Bernard VIII, Count of Comminges

Bernard VIII of Comminges (c. 1285–1336) was the Count of Comminges in what is now southern France. He was the son and successor of Count Bernard VII of Comminges (died 1312) and Laura of Montfort (died before 1300).

The County of Comminges lay in the valley of the Garonne, in the northern foothills of Pyrenees. The county of Couserans lay to the west and that of Bigorre to the east. The ruling family were descended from the Counts of Foix.

Count Bernard married three times, but died without a male heir; a posthumous son, Count Jean I, died in infancy in 1339. Bernard had five or six daughters of whom Jeanne married the son of Bernard's brother, Count Pierre-Raymond I (died 1341), also named Pierre-Raymond (II), who ruled from 1341 until about 1375–1376. The marriage produced two daughters, Alienòr and Marguerite, but the line died out in 1443 at Marguerite's death, and the county passed to the French Crown in 1453 on the death of Marguerite's husband.

The most famous child of Bernard's was Cecilia I of Urgell.
