Leishmania

**Leishmania** is a protist
organism which causes Leishmaniasis. It is a Trypanosomatid parasite in the Euglenozoa phylum.

It is spread by sandflies of the genus _Phlebotomus_ in the Old World, and of the genus _Lutzomyia_ in the New World.

Their primary hosts are vertebrates; Leishmania commonly infects hyraxes, canids, rodents, and humans. Leishmania currently affects 12 million people in 98 countries.
The parasite was named in 1903 after the Scottish pathologist William Boog Leishman.

## Diseases

The parasite causes three kinds of disease. Each type of disease is caused by different species of the parasite.

1. Skin disease: the _Oriental sore_
1. Mucous membrane leishmaniasis: can be fatal
1. Visceral disease of the liver and spleen, and anaemia. So-called _kala-azar_

## Structure

_Leishmania_ have a lipophosphoglycan coat on the outside of the cell. This is a trigger for toll-like receptor 2, a signalling receptor which triggers an innate immune response in mammals. The parasite can withstand the counter-attack by the immune system. There are treatments, which consist in helping the immune system to respond.

Guernica (Picasso)

***Guernica*** is a world-famous painting by Pablo Picasso. It is one of the world's greatest anti-war paintings. It is a very large painting (a mural) which shows the bombing of the Spanish town of Guernica in 1937 during the Spanish Civil War.

The Spanish Republican government asked Pablo Picasso to paint a large mural for an art exhibition in Paris. It shows how people, as well as animals, all suffer because of the tragedies of war. The painting soon became so famous that it was seen as a world symbol for peace. The fame of the painting helped to bring the Spanish Civil War to an end.

_Guernica_ is navy blue, black and white, 3.5 metre (11 ft) tall and 7.8 metre (25.6 ft) wide, a mural-size canvas painted in oil. It hangs in the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid.

## Description of the painting

_Guernica_ shows a large, open room with people and animals who are suffering. A bull stands over a woman crying over a dead child in her arms. A horse falls in terrible pain as it dies after being run through with a spear. A dead soldier lies under the horse, his arm has been chopped off, but the hand grasps a shattered sword from which a flower grows. A light bulb shines strongly like an evil eye (the Spanish word for "light bulb" is "bombilla" which sounds like "bomb"). A female figure floats in, holding a lamp which is a symbol of hope. There are many other smaller details in the painting.

## History of the painting

The painting soon travelled to many countries. It was seen in several towns in the United States during the 1940s and early 1950s. The Spanish dictator Francisco Franco wanted it to come to Spain, but Picasso said that he would not allow it to go to Spain until Spain became a democratic country. Picasso died in 1973. Franco died in 1975 and Spain became a democratic country. The painting went to Spain in 1981 and it now hangs in an art gallery, the Museo Reina Sofía, in Madrid.

Johnson was the leader and made his home the organization's base. The Flat Earth Society has its headquarters in the small town of Cúllar Vega, Andalusia, Spain since 2002.

Balibo (movie)

***Balibo*** is an Australian movie directed by Robert Connolly and released in 2009. It starred Australian actor Anthony LaPaglia who also was the film's producer. It based on the true story of 5 Australian news reporters working for Australian TV during the Indonesian invasion of East Timor in 1975. They were murdered by the Indonesian army in the small village of Balibo.

The Indonesian National Armed Forces did not want the movie shown in Indonesia, with a spokesman saying the movie could harm Indonesia's relations with East Timor and Australia.

The movie was finally forbidden in Indonesia by the Film Censorship Agency. Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa said the ban was to avoid a negative image of Indonesia. The Indonesian National Armed Forces supports the ban, with a spokesman saying the official version of the event is that the journalists were killed in a crossfire, and not murdered by Indonesian troops. However, this did not stop people from seeing the movie, as there were some secret cinemas set up to show it.

Antidepressant

An **antidepressant** is a type of medication that is made to treat people with mood disorders including depression (major depressive disorder), and people with anxiety disorders. Some people take antidepressants to lower their sex drive and treat premature ejaculation.

There are different types of antidepressant, such as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), tetracyclic antidepressants (TeCAs), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs).

Antidepressants have also been used to treat the following:

- obsessive-compulsive disorder, and panic attacks
- anxieties and phobias, including post-traumatic stress disorder
- eating disorders, chronic pain, and different withdrawal syndromes
- sleep disorders, including premenstrual syndrome
Dirty bomb

A **dirty bomb**, also known as a **radiological dispersal device (RDD)** is a radioactive explosive weapon. It is designed to spread radioactive material to a large area.

Unlike a nuclear bomb, a dirty bomb is an ordinary bomb which has been modified to carry also radioactive material, such as nuclear waste. The idea is that when the bomb explodes, the radioactive material, 'dirt', spreads as gas, dust, and particles all around the place, contaminating it, and making it unusable for agriculture, living in, or using it for military purposes. Hence the name 'dirty bomb'.

A dirty bomb would have very little military value except perhaps area denial, but it would cause panic and economical chaos. It is considered a potential terrorist device.

No dirty bombs have ever been used in anger, but the Goiania incident in Brazil, where metal thieves had broken into a clinic, broken up a cancer treatment device, and stolen radioactive cesium chloride, resembled the outcome of a dirty bomb.
Jude the Apostle

Saint **Jude the Apostle** was a brother of Jesus. He was also called **Jude of James** and **Jude Thaddeus**. He is the patron saint of Armenia, along with Saint Bartholemew. He is also the patron saint of lost causes and desperate situations.

St. Jude was martyred (killed for his beliefs) with another apostle, Simon the Zealot in Beirut, Lebanon, around AD 66 by an axe.  In the Roman Catholic church, Jude and Simon's feast day is celebrated on 28 October.

Pitcher plant

A **pitcher plant** is a carnivorous plant (an insectivorous plant). Carnivorous plants are plants which eat insects and other small animals. Carnivorous plants grow in soil which has little nitrogen. All living things must have nitrogen. Carnivorous plants get their nitrogen from the insects they eat. They are adapted to areas with little nitrogen in the soil.

The pitcher of the pitcher plant is actually a modified leaf. The apex of the leaf is always the lid. Pitcher plants catch (get) insects in a cup of liquid. The walls of the cup make nectar (sweet liquid). The nectar attracts insects. When an insect lands on the wall, it falls down into the liquid. The insect cannot get out of the cup because the walls are smooth and slippery and the walls have hairs pointing down.

After the insect is dead, its body rots. Rotting releases (lets loose) the nitrogen from the insect's body. The nitrogen then goes into the liquid and the plant takes in the nitrogen from the liquid.
Fried Green Tomatoes (movie)

***Fried Green Tomatoes*** is a 1991 American drama movie directed by Jon Avnet. It is set in 1920s and 1980s Birmingham, Alabama and is based on a novel by Fannie Flagg called _Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe_. The movie stars Kathy Bates, Jessica Tandy, Mary-Louise Parker and Mary Stuart Masterson.

## Plot

In Birmingham, Alabama, a woman called Evelyn goes to a nursing home to visit her mother-in-law and meets an elderly woman called Ninny. They become friends. Ninny tells Evelyn stories about when she was younger, and about the people she used to know. In particular, she tells Evelyn about two young women, Idgie and Ruth.

In Ninny's stories, Idgie and Ruth are friends who run a café together and raise Ruth's son Buddy. Ruth has separated from her husband Frank because he used to hit her. One day, Frank goes missing and the police begin to think that Idgie has killed him.

Ninny tells Evelyn her stories over several visits. During that time, Evelyn, who was depressed,  is inspired by Ruth and Idgie to have more power in her life. In the end, Ninny goes to live with Evelyn and her husband. There is a hint that Ninny and Idgie might be the same person.

## Differences from the novel

There are some differences between the movie and the novel it was made from. In the novel, Idgie and Ruth are a lesbian couple. In the movie they may be just friends. The director, John Avnet said that he wanted viewers to make up their own minds. In one part of the movie, Idgie and Ruth have a food fight. Avnet said that the food fight is symbolic of love-making. When it was released, some critics and LGBT activists were angry that the lesbian part of the story had been "glossed over". Even though the lesbian content had been hidden, the movie won an award from the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) for best feature movie with lesbian content.

Another difference is that at the end of the movie, it seems possible that Ninny is really Idgie. In the novel, they are completely separate characters and are sisters-in-law.

## Reception

The movie was nominated for two Academy Awards and two BAFTA awards.

Ischemic colitis

**Ischemic colitis** (also called **Colonic ischemia**), also spelled **ischaemic colitis**, is a medical condition in which inflammation and injury cause an inadequite blood supply to the large instestine. It occurs more often in older people.

More than 90% of cases occur in people over the age of 60. Ischemic colitis is the most common form of bowel ischemia.

## Symptoms

- Abdominal pain
- Lower digestive bleeding
- Diarrhea
- Fever higher than 100.4°F (38°C)
- Vomiting

## Treatment

Most cases of ischemic colitis are mild and will get better on their own. IV fluids are givin to patients to treat dehydration. Patients are also told not to eat or drink anything until the symptoms get better. Severe ischemic colitis that leads to gangrene can be treated with antibiotics and surgery.

Race condition

A **Race condition** (also called **race hazard**) is a problem with the design of a system. With a race condition, the result of a calculation or the behaviour of the system as a whole is dependent on how long a certain calculation takes, or when it is started. Race conditions occur in logic circuits and computer software, especially with multi-threaded or distributed systems.

## Example

It is often difficult to explain what a race condition is, but the metaphor of a horse race can be used as an explanation.

A computer program is like a horse race. The computer program does several things at the same time, similarly to how several horses run at the same time in a horse race. Each horse represents what is usually called a _thread of execution_. That way, one such thread may handle network communication, another one may be responsible for redrawing the user interface. In the case of a race condition, the application works properly if a given horse _wins the race_. For example, the application may work if horse number five wins, but it will crash if any other horse wins the race. One solution to the problem is to use synchronization. This is like several jockeys teaming up, to make sure horse number five is ahead.

On different computers, or in different situations, computers programs can run at different speeds. Sometimes, they will be faster, other times slower. This may mean that on some systems, the race condition will never show up, even though it may be easy to show it on others. Race conditions can be difficult to find. Bugs caused by race conditions are a frequent source of frustration within the profession of software development.

Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation

The **Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation** (**GLAAD**) is an American group that works to make sure that LGBT are not made to look bad in the media, and works so that the public are more accepting of LGBT people. It was founded in 1985 in New York City  after there were a lot of negative reports about LGBT people, after the beginning of the AIDS epidemic. GLAAD’s policies are meant to stop prejudice and fight against anti-LGBT hate.

## History

The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation was started in 1985 in New York City. After the start of the AIDS epidemic, several newspapers, like the _New York Post_ wrote reports that some people thought were homophobic and unfair. The Alliance was founded to protest against such negative coverage in the media.

Because of this, a group of people decided to band together and begin a group to change things. They were Vito Russo, Gregory Kolovakos, Darryl Rist, Allen Barnett and Jewelle Gomez. They named their group the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. At first they were more concerned with changing the way that stories about AIDS were reported to the public. As the group grew, they began to work with people in the entertainment industry to change the way that gay and lesbian people were made to look on films and on television.

## GLAAD Media Awards

Every year, GLAAD hosts a ceremony where GLAAD Media Awards are given to people in the media and in entertainment that have represented LGBT people and issues fairly. Since 2009, there have been three ceremonies every year, one each in New York City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.

Spanish Inquisition

The **Spanish** **Inquisition** or **Tribunal of the Holy Office of the Inquisition** was a tribunal formed in 1478 in Spain. Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile requested a Papal bull to create the tribunal, with the assistance of Tomás de Torquemada.

During the Spanish Inquisition, many people were burnt to death in front of crowds on the streets. Using infamously brutal means, the Spanish Inquisition stabilized power in the monarchy of the newly unified Spanish kingdom.

## Background

The rulers of Spain asked the Pope to start the Inquisition to hunt for Jews who converted to Catholic Christianity but were accused (often falsely) of being disloyal to their Christian faith.

In 1492, they demanded that all _morisco_ leave Spain. Many left, but many stayed and claimed to be Christians. The Inquisition became busy deciding which ones were truthful. In 1502, the Muslims were also ordered out. Some parts of Spain actually enforced this order. When Protestants appeared, the Inquisition said they were faking as Christians.

Approximately 150,000 people were prosecuted during the centuries of the Spanish Inquisition. Most trials ended with the defendant giving up his beliefs and being let go.  About 3000-5000 were executed. The Inquisition became less active in later years and was completely abolished in 1834.

### The Vatican

In 2004, the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) published findings that the judges of the Inquisition were "not as brutal as previously believed". The RCC also denied that most trials were carried out by Catholic courts, while claiming that the victims put on trial were often "tortured for only 15 minutes in the presence of doctors".

### Spain

Movements within Spain have emerged to rewrite the history of the Spanish Inquisition. Members of the movements released a series of books, films, TV programs and mobile exhibitions to beautify the Inquisition-associated Spanish history.

George B. McClellan

**George Brinton McClellan** (December 3, 1826 – October 29, 1885) was a Major general in Union army during the American Civil War.  In 1861 and 1862, he was in charge of the Army of the Potomac.  He led the Peninsula Campaign, an attempt to take Richmond, Virginia that didn't work.  Though he won the Battle of Antietam, he did not get along with President Abraham Lincoln, who fired him.  After he stopped being a general, he became a politician, and ran against Lincoln in the 1864 election.  He was later Governor of New Jersey, though he was originally from Pennsylvania.  He was also a prominent engineer, and was offered the job as President of the University of California.

He was seen as slow and thought all his fights through, training his soldiers very long. He was too slow acting for Abraham Lincoln's taste, who fired him several times. Mrs. Lincoln despised him greatly, therefore an influence of Mr. Lincoln's decision.
