Carbonyl dyes
Carbonyl dyes are dyes which comprise at least two conjugated carbonyl groups. Both anthraquinone dyes and indigo dyes belong to the group of carbonyl dyes. The most important natural dyes - indigo, Tyrian purple, alizarin and carmine - have this partial structure. The most important synthetic carbonyl dyes are based on anthraquinone.

The main advantages of carbonyl dyes are the possibility of reducing the carbonyl groups to water-soluble dienols (→Vat dyes), which is advantageous in industrial applications. On the other hand, by introducing suitable electron donating groups, the absorption maximum of the resulting dyes can be shifted to almost any region of the VIS spectrum.

Reduction/Oxidation of carbonyl dyestuffs / examples: anthraquinone and indigo

Vat dye
Vat dyes are a class of dyes that are classified as such because of the method by which they are applied. Vat dyeing is a process that refers to dyeing that takes place in a bucket or vat.  The original vat dye is indigo, once obtained only from plants but now often produced synthetically.
Magnolia Park (Seattle)
Magnolia Park is a 12.1-acre (4.9 ha) park in the Magnolia neighborhood of Seattle, Washington.

He was born in Newark, New Jersey, but developed as a tennis player in Southern California under the guidance of Perry T. Jones.
Black dress of Rita Hayworth
In the 1946 film Gilda, Rita Hayworth wore a black dress made by American costume designer Jean Louis. It was used in a scene in which the character of Gilda sings the song "Put the Blame on Mame", improvising a quick striptease, choreographed by Jack Cole. The dress has helped consolidate the image of the femme fatale, as well as being universally recognized as an icon of fashion and cinema. The Independent named it as one of the Ten Best Fashion Moments in Film.

Jack Cole (choreographer)
Jack Cole (born John Ewing Richter; April 27, 1911 – February 17, 1974) was an American dancer, choreographer, and theatre director known as "the Father of Theatrical Jazz Dance" for his role in codifying African-American jazz dance styles, as influenced by the dance traditions of other cultures, for Broadway and Hollywood. Asked to describe his style he described it as "urban folk dance".

His work as a dancer and choreographer began in the 1930s and lasted until the mid-1960s. Beginning in modern dance, he worked in nightclubs, on the Broadway stage, and in Hollywood films, ending his career as a teacher. He was an innovative choreographer for the camera and a hugely influential choreographer and teacher, training Gwen Verdon, Carol Haney, and Buzz Miller, among many others, and influencing later choreographers, such as Bob Fosse, Jerome Robbins, and Alvin Ailey, all of whom drew heavily from his innovations.
Eastern Drift
Eastern Drift is a 2010 Lithuanian crime film directed by Šarūnas Bartas, starring Bartas and Klavdiya Korshunova. Its Lithuanian title is Eurazijos aborigenas and its French title is Indigène d'Eurasie, which means "Eurasian native".

The film premiered in the Forum section of the 60th Berlin International Film Festival.

60th Berlin International Film Festival
The 60th annual Berlin International Film Festival was held from 11 to 21 February 2010, with Werner Herzog as president of the jury. The opening film of the festival was Chinese director Wang Quan'an's romantic drama Apart Together, in competition, while the closing film is Japanese director Yoji Yamada's About Her Brother, which was screened out of competition.

The Golden Bear went to Turkish film Bal directed by Semih Kaplanoğlu. A new record attendance was established with 282,000 sold tickets, according to the organizers. A restored version of Fritz Lang's Metropolis was also shown at the festival.
Syncytin-2
Syncytin-2 also known as endogenous retrovirus group FRD member 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by ERVFRD-1 gene.  It is a member of the HERV-FRD family of endogenous retroviral elements. The human ERVFRD-1 gene is located on chromosome 6. Both Syncytin-2 and Syncytin-1 are encoded by ENV genes and were first identified in a human placenta. Specifically, Syncytin-2 was observed in the cytoplasmic membrane of primary trophoblast cells in the placenta.

The receptor for this fusogenic env protein is ASCT-2 and the transporter is MFSD-2. In studies conducted that observed the protein interactions with this receptor, it was additionally found that Syncytin-2 signals were detected at the membrane. This is a place of cell-to-cell contact where this protein can interact with its receptor, in order to be able to induce fusion.

Cell–cell fusogens
Cell–cell fusogens are glycoproteins that facilitate the fusion of cell to cell membranes. Cell–cell fusion is critical for the merging of gamete genomes and the development of organs in multicellular organisms. Cell-cell fusion occurs when both actin cytoskeleton and fusogenic proteins properly rearrange across the cell membrane. This process is led by actin-propelled membrane protrusions.

In the first year of the war, he led Caesarian troops to Sicily and then to Africa, where he was killed in battle.

Prior to the civil war, Curio had operated alongside his homonymous father lived, the consul of 76 BC. They had supported Publius Clodius Pulcher during the Bona Dea scandal in 62 BC and opposed the alliance of Caesar, Pompey, and Crassus in 59 BC (during Caesar's first consulship). He was still aligned with prominent anti-Caesarians and the remnants of Clodius allies c. 52 BC when his father died, giving funerary games alongside Marcus Favonius and marrying Clodius' widow Fulvia.

Northern chestnut-breasted wren
The northern chestnut-breasted wren (Cyphorhinus dichrous) is a species of passerine bird in the wren family Troglodytidae that is found in central Colombia, Ecuador and northern Peru. It was formerly considered as a subspecies of the chestnut-breasted wren (Cyphorhinus thoracicus) now renamed the southern chestnut-breasted wren.

Wren
Wrens are a family, Troglodytidae, of small brown passerine birds. The family includes 96 species and is divided into 19 genera. All species are restricted to the New World except for the Eurasian wren that is widely distributed in the Old World. In Anglophone regions, the Eurasian wren is commonly known simply as the "wren", as it is the originator of the name. The name wren has been applied to other, unrelated birds, particularly the New Zealand wrens (Acanthisittidae) and the Australian wrens (Maluridae).

Most wrens are visually inconspicuous though they have loud and often complex songs. Exceptions include the relatively large members of the genus Campylorhynchus, which can be quite bold in their behaviour. Wrens have short wings that are barred in most species, and they often hold their tails upright. Wrens are primarily insectivorous, eating insects, spiders and other small invertebrates, but many species also eat vegetable matter and some eat small frogs and lizards.

1980 United States presidential election in Delaware
The 1980 United States presidential election in Delaware took place on November 4, 1980. All 50 states and The District of Columbia were part of the 1980 United States presidential election. State voters chose three electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

The election here was close, with Delaware being won by former California Governor Ronald Reagan by two points. Notably, Reagan won New Castle County by just one vote over Carter.

Governor of California
The governor of California is the head of government of the U.S. state of California. The governor is the commander-in-chief of the California National Guard and the California State Guard.

Established in the Constitution of California, the governor's responsibilities also include submitting the budget, ensuring that state laws are enforced, and making the annual State of the State address to the California State Legislature. The position was created in 1849, the year before California became a state.

The governor is now limited to two terms, regardless of whether they are consecutive. The current governor of California is Democrat Gavin Newsom, who was inaugurated on January 7, 2019. Jerry Brown was the longest serving governor in Californian history, serving from 1975 until 1983, and again from 2011 until 2019.
Nurikabe
The nurikabe (塗り壁 or 塗壁, literally "plastered wall",) is a yōkai, or spirit, from Japanese folklore.

It is said to manifest as an invisible wall that impedes or misdirects travelers walking at night. This yōkai is described as quite tall, to prevent people from climbing over it, and wide enough to dampen any attempts to go around it.

Japanese scholar and folklorist Kunio Yanagita recorded perhaps the most prominent early example of nurikabe and other yōkai in his books. Manga artist Shigeru Mizuki claims to have had a nurikabe-like experience, being stuck in coal tar in New Guinea, inspiring a nurikabe character in his manga Gegege no Kitarō.

It was thought that no pre-modern pictorial depictions of nurikabe existed until it was noticed in 2007 that a 17th century yōkai picture scroll held by Brigham Young University included a "white dog-elephant like creature" labeled as "nurikabe" (see figure at right) matching a later copy held in Japan.

Japanese folklore
Japanese folklore encompasses the informally learned folk traditions of Japan and the Japanese people as expressed in its oral traditions, customs, and material culture.

In Japanese, the term minkan denshō (民間伝承; "transmissions among the folk") is used to describe folklore. The academic study of folklore is known as minzokugaku (民俗学). Folklorists also employ the term minzoku shiryō (民俗資料) or "folklore material" (民俗資料) to refer to the objects and arts they study.
