Elizabeth Ann Hulette (November 19, 1960 – May 1, 2003) was an American professional wrestling manager. She is best known for her time in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s as well as her time in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in mid-1990s. She is better known under her ring name Miss Elizabeth.
She was known for managing "Macho Man" Randy Savage who she was also married to from December 1984 to 1992. Later on, she began dating Lex Luger. They were planning on getting married. On April 19, 2003, she was involved in a domestic dispute with Luger where he allegedly hit her in the garage of their townhouse in Marietta, Georgia. The Cobb County police found her with two bruised eyes, a bump on her head, and a cut lip.
On May 1, 2003, Luger called 9-1-1 because Hulette was not breathing. After Hulette did not respond to mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, the paramedics rushed to their townhouse but they pronounced her dead. It was later announced by a medical examiner that Hulette had died from "acute toxicity" which was brought on by a mix of painkillers and vodka.
Mimivirus
Mimivirus is an extra-large virus. It was discovered in 1992.
APMV was found accidentally inside the amoeba "Acanthamoeba polyphaga". The virus was seen in a gram stain and mistakenly thought to be a gram-positive bacterium.
It is either a viral genus with a single species, Acanthamoeba polyphaga mimivirus (APMV), or it is a group of phylogenetically-related large viruses (MimiN).
In speech, APMV is usually referred to as "mimivirus". Until October 2011, when an even larger virus "Megavirus chilensis" was described, it was the largest (capsid diameter) of all known viruses.
Mimivirus has a large and complex genome compared with most other viruses. Mimivirus, short for "mimicking microbe", is so called for its large size and Gram-staining properties.
CocoRosie
CocoRosie is an American folk band. The members are sisters Bianca "Coco" and Sierra "Rosie" Casady. They have released five studio albums. These are "La maison de mon rêve", "Noah's Ark", "The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn", "Grey Oceans", and "Tales of a GrassWidow". CocoRosie have also composed two film scores.
Sierra Casady was born in Iowa. Bianca was born in Hawaii. The girls lived with their mother when they were children. They moved to new towns almost every year. Sierra left home when she was around 14. She is a classically trained soprano.
Assem Allam
Assem Allam () is an Egyptian businessman based in the East Riding of Yorkshire.
He is the owner of Allam Marine, a company that makes generators. He is also the owner of the Championship football team, Hull City.
In 2006, he was named the UK Entrepreneur of the Year by Ernst & Young.
Dune 2000
Dune 2000 is a real-time strategy game released by Westwood Studios. It based on Frank Herbert's Dune. It uses a similar game engine to "".
Like in "Dune II", the three main playable housess are House Atreides, House Harkonnen and House Ordos.
Megavirus
Megavirus is a virus with a single identified species, "Megavirus chilensis" (MGVC). It is phylogenetically related to or Mimivirus (APMV).
MGVC is usually referred to as just “Megavirus”. Until the discovery of pandoraviruses in 2013 it had the largest capsid diameter of all known viruses, and the largest and most complex genome among all known viruses.
Pandoravirus
Pandoravirus is a genus of very large viruses. They have the largest genomes of any viral genus. Like the other large viruses "Mimivirus", "Pithovirus" and "Megavirus", "Pandoravirus" infects amoebas. Its genome, with 1.9 to 2.5 megabases of DNA, is twice as large as that of "Megavirus". It differs greatly from the other large viruses in appearance and in genome structure.
Although the capsid of "Pithovirus" is 50% larger in size, "Pandoravirus" has the largest genome of all viruses (2.5 million base pairs).
About 93% of Pandoravirus genes are not known from any other microbes. This led some scientists to suggest the virus belongs to a "fourth domain", aside from Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryotes. Viruses as a whole are not considered to be within these three domains, but they have been proposed as one in the past by some biologists.
Calf roping
Calf roping is a sport where a person chases a calf on horseback. The person ropes the calf, then jumps off their horse and ties the calf's one front foot and two hind feet with a "piggin' rope". Then they must give the calf some slack and the rope must stay tied for 6 seconds.
Calf roping started with cowboys. They had to rope and tie down calves to brand them and doctor them.
Ryan Hunter-Reay
Ryan Hunter-Reay (born December 17, 1980) is an American racecar driver from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He races in the IndyCar Series where he won the 2012 IndyCar championship. He is considered one of the highest ranked racecar drivers. Hunter-Reay won his first race in 2003 and has won a total 11 races, including three straight in 2012. His mother died of cancer and Hunter Reay is the major spokesman for Livestrong, a role he took over from Lance Armstrong after the cyclist's doping controversy. He is married and has a son. He lives in Florida. In 2014, he won the Indianapolis 500.
Pithovirus
Pithovirus is a genus of giant virus which infects amoebae. It is a double-stranded DNA virus, and is a member of the clade of large DNA viruses. It was first described in 2014 after a viable specimen was found in a 30,000-year-old ice core harvested from permafrost in Siberia, Russia.
It is 50% larger in size than the previous largest known viruses, but "Pandoravirus" has the largest viral genome, containing 1.9 to 2.5 megabases of DNA.
"Pithovirus" has a thick, oval wall with an opening at one end. Internally, its structure resembles a honeycomb.
The genome of "Pithovirus" has 467 different genes, more than a typical virus but far less than "Pandoravirus". Its genome is much less densely packed than any other known virus. Two-thirds of its proteins are unlike those of other viruses. Despite the physical similarity with "Pandoravirus", the "Pithovirus" genome sequence shows that it is barely related to that virus. It more closely resembles members of some other virus families. These families all contain large icosahedral viruses with DNA genomes. The "Pithovirus" genome has 36% GC-content, similar to the "Megaviridae", in contrast to greater than 61% for pandoraviruses.
The "Pithovirus"' genome is one circular, double stranded DNA (dsDNA) chromosome of about 610,000 base pairs (bp.) Its DNA translate into 467 different proteins. The genome encodes all the proteins needed to produce mRNA; these proteins are present in the purified virions.
"Pithovirus" does its entire replication cycle in its host's cytoplasm, not the more typical method of taking over the host's nucleus.
"Pithovirus sibericum" was discovered in a 30,000-year-old sample of Siberian permafrost. The virus was discovered buried below the surface of a late Pleistocene sediment. It was found when riverbank samples collected in 2000 were exposed to amoebae. The amoebas started dying and were found to contain giant viruses. The authors said they got the idea to probe permafrost samples for new viruses after reading about an experiment that revived a similar aged seed two years earlier.
Although the virus is harmless to humans, its viability after being frozen for millennia raised concerns that global climate change and tundra drilling operations could lead to potentially dangerous viruses being unearthed. Other scientists deny that this poses a real threat.
Thanksgiving (United States)
Thanksgiving is a holiday celebrated once a year on the fourth Thursday of November.
English people often declared a "Thanksgiving" when something good happened. The London Company had a "day of Thanksgiving" at Berkeley Hundred, Virginia in 1619 to celebrate their new colony.
