1969 European Baseball Championship
The 1969 European Baseball Championship was held in Wiesbaden, Germany and was won by the Netherlands. Italy finished as runner-up. The tournament, held at Lindsey Air Station, had two groups, with defending champion Belgium and Italy and the Netherlands, who both skipped the 1967 championship, in the top group and four teams in the bottom group. West Germany defeated Belgium in the only cross-group game in the tournament. After the tournament, Spain, which went undefeated in the lower group, requested that the two-tiered format be abolished.

An American military team, the Wiesbaden Flyers, and a team from South Africa also attended the tournament.

Italian players reportedly chanted "Antilles, Antilles," objecting to the Dutch team's use of ballplayers from the Netherlands Antilles, which included most valuable player Hamilton Richardson.

İsmail Galib
İsmail Galib (1860-1950) was the son of İbrahim Edhem Pasha  and a notable numismatist in the Ottoman Empire, studying coins from the Sultanate of Rum. He is considered the father of modern numismatics in Turkey.

Numismatics
Numismatics is the study or collection of currency,  including coins, tokens, paper money, medals, and related objects.

Specialists, known as numismatists, are often characterized as students or collectors of coins, but the discipline also includes the broader study of money and other means of payment used to resolve debts and exchange goods.

The earliest forms of money used by people are categorised by collectors as "odd and curious", but the use of other goods in barter exchange is excluded, even where used as a circulating currency (e.g., cigarettes or instant noodles in prison). As an example, the Kyrgyz people used horses as the principal currency unit, and gave small change in lambskins; the lambskins may be suitable for numismatic study, but the horses are not. Many objects have been used for centuries, such as cowry shells, precious metals, cocoa beans, large stones, and gems.

2018 in radio
The following is a list of events affecting radio broadcasting in 2018. Events listed include radio program debuts, finales, cancellations, and station launches, closures and format changes, as well as information about controversies.
Chenodeoxycholoyltaurine hydrolase
In enzymology, a chenodeoxycholoyltaurine hydrolase (EC 3.5.1.74) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

chenodeoxycholoyltaurine + H2O  chenodeoxycholate + taurine

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are chenodeoxycholoyltaurine and H2O, whereas its two products are chenodeoxycholate and taurine.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in linear amides.  The systematic name of this enzyme class is chenodeoxycholoyltaurine amidohydrolase. This enzyme participates in bile acid biosynthesis.

Taurochenodeoxycholic acid
Taurochenodeoxycholic acid is a bile acid formed in the liver of most species, including humans, by conjugation of chenodeoxycholic acid with taurine. It is secreted into bile and then into the intestine. It is usually ionized at physiologic pH. However, although it can be crystallized as the sodium salt.

It acts as a detergent to solubilize fats in the small intestine and is itself absorbed by active transport in the terminal ileum.

It is used as a cholagogue and choleretic.

Substantial evidence indicates that high circulating bile acids promote colon cancer risk.  In a prospective study, positive associations were observed between prediagnostic plasma levels of seven conjugated bile acid metabolites, including taurochenodeoxycholic acid, and colon cancer risk.
Ningaluk River
Ningaluk River (also Ninglick River) (Ningliq in Yup'ik) is a channel, 44 miles (71 km) long, between Baird Inlet and Hazen Bay on the west coast of the U.S. state of Alaska.

The U.S. Marine Corps has been working to create emergency shelter, roads, homes, and an airfield in nearby Mertarvik for 400 Yupik Eskimo displaced from Newtok along the Ninglick River. The federal government is supporting the 9-mile (14 km) move, which is necessitated by erosion, melting, and the sinking of permafrost at Newtok.

Yupik peoples
The Yupik (/ˈjuːpɪk/; Russian: Юпикские народы) are a group of Indigenous or Aboriginal peoples of western, southwestern, and southcentral Alaska and the Russian Far East. They are closely related to the Inuit and Iñupiat. Yupik peoples include the following:

Alutiiq, or Sugpiaq, of the Alaska Peninsula and coastal and island areas of southcentral Alaska.

Yupʼik or Central Alaskan Yupʼik of the Yukon–Kuskokwim Delta, the Kuskokwim River, and along the northern coast of Bristol Bay as far east as Nushagak Bay and the northern Alaska Peninsula at Naknek River and Egegik Bay in Alaska.

Siberian Yupik, including Naukan, Chaplino, and—in a linguistic capacity—the Sirenik of the Russian Far East and St. Lawrence Island in western Alaska.

Elbow extension test
The elbow extension test is simple test that can be administered as part of the physical exam to help guide healthcare providers diagnosis and management of acute elbow fractures. The elbow extension test is performed when an elbow fracture, most commonly caused by trauma, is suspected as the source of pain and dysfunction.

Elbow
The elbow is the region between the upper arm and the forearm that surrounds the elbow joint. The elbow includes prominent landmarks such as the olecranon, the cubital fossa (also called the chelidon, or the elbow pit), and the lateral and the medial epicondyles of the humerus. The elbow joint is a hinge joint between the arm and the forearm; more specifically between the humerus in the upper arm and the radius and ulna in the forearm which allows the forearm and hand to be moved towards and away from the body.
The term elbow is specifically used for humans and other primates, and in other vertebrates it is not used. In those cases, forelimb plus joint is used.

The name for the elbow in Latin is cubitus, and so the word cubital is used in some elbow-related terms, as in cubital nodes for example.
