Marc Bolan

Marc Bolan ( ; born Mark Feld; 30 September 1947 - 16 September 1977) was an English rock singer-songwriter and musician. He was one of the most important musicians of the glam rock movement in the early 1970s. He was known for being part of the band T. Rex. Bolan was born in London. His career began in 1957.
Bolan's March 1971 appearance on the BBC's music show Top of the Pops, wearing glitter on the face while performing "Hot Love", is seen as the beginning of the glam rock movement. From 1973, he started mixing rock music with funk, soul, gospel, disco, and R&B.
Bolan never learned to drive because he was scared of dying young. He died in a car crash two weeks before his 30th birthday on 16 September 1977 near London.
Bolan was posthumously honored into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020.

Winchester Cathedral

Winchester Cathedral is a mediaeval Anglican church in Winchester, Hampshire. It is the seat of the Bishop of Winchester.
The cathedral has the longest nave and overall length of any Gothic cathedral in Europe. By contrast, the interior height of the nave vault at 78 feet is about half that of Beauvais Cathedral in France.
Architecture
Built between 1079 and 1532, Winchester Cathedral has had an unusual architectural history. The exterior, apart from the modified windows, gives the impression of a massive Norman building and indeed, when first completed, the Norman Cathedral was second only in size to Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome. However, the west front is now Perpendicular, with its huge window filled with fragments of medieval glass. Sadly this glass window was destroyed by the Roundheads.They also messed up the bones of some of the most important rulers. Inside, only the crypt and the transepts have retained their Norman appearance. The spectacular Perpendicular nave with its tall arcade arches and strong vertical emphasis has been literally carved out of the original Norman interior. The Very Rev. Norman Sykes wrote of it "Well might the visitor who enters ... by the west door gasp with amazement". Winchester is also famous for its carved wooden fittings of many different periods.
Events
Important events which took place at Winchester Cathedral include:
Funeral of King Harthacanute (1042)
Funeral of King William II of England (1100)
Coronation of Henry the Young King and his queen, Marguerite (1172)
Second coronation of Richard I of England (1194)
Marriage of King Henry IV of England and Joanna of Navarre (1403)
Marriage of Queen Mary I of England and King Philip II of Spain (1554)
Funeral and burial of Jane Austen (1817)

Protein folding

Protein folding is how a protein gets its functional shape or 'conformation'. It is mainly a self-organising process. Starting from a random coil, polypeptides fold into their characteristic working shape. The structure is held together by hydrogen bonds.
The stages are:
Each protein exists as an unfolded polypeptide or random coil when translated from a sequence of mRNA to a linear chain of amino acids. This polypeptide lacks any developed three-dimensional structure (left hand side of the top figure).
Amino acids interact with each other to produce a well-defined three-dimensional structure, the folded protein (right hand side of the figure). This is known as the native state. The resulting three-dimensional structure is determined by the amino acid sequence (Anfinsen's dogma).
Without its correct three-dimensional structure a protein does not work. However, some parts of proteins may not fold: this is normal.
If proteins do not fold into their native shape, they are inactive and are usually toxic. Several diseases may be caused by misfolded proteins. Many allergies are caused by the folding of the proteins, for the immune system does not produce antibodies for all possible protein structures.
On 30 November 2020, the protein folding was solved by artificial intelligence company DeepMind.
Chaperones
Chaperonins are large proteins which help the folding of some proteins after synthesis. Chaperones in general were first discovered helping histones and DNA join up to form nucleosomes. Nucleosomes are the building blocks for chromosomes. This is the way many cell organelles are built up.

S/2007 S 2

S/2007 S 2 is an unnamed moon of Saturn. Its discovery was announced by Scott S. Sheppard, David C. Jewitt, Jan Kleyna, and Brian G. Marsden on May 1, 2007, from observations taken between January 18 and April 19, 2007. Telescope used is the Subaru 8.3-m optical infrared telescope at Mauna Kea.
Overview
S/2007 S2 is theorized to have a mean radius of 1.9 miles, assuming an albedo of 0.04. It is 6 kilometres in diameter and orbits Saturn at an eccentricity of about 0.218 and an inclination of about 176.68deg at a mean distance of 10.4 million miles (average distance of 16,560,00 million kilometres) from Saturn. The satellite was first thought to be orbiting for about 793 Earth days from its first discovery. The satellite takes about 808 Earth days to complete one orbit.
Like Saturn's other irregular moons, S/2007 S2 is thought to be an object that was captured by Saturn's gravity, rather than having accreted from the dusty disk that surrounded the newly formed planet as the regular satellites are thought to have done.

P53

p53 (or tp53) is a gene vital to many forms of life, including humans. It codes for a protein which suppresses cancer. It has been called "the guardian of the genome".
The p53 gene is the most frequently mutated gene (>50%) in human cancer. Its protein product binds to DNA and regulates gene expression to prevent mutations of the genome.
p53 protein (TP53) is at low levels in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). This allows the most important cell division to proceed rapidly.

Coffin

A coffin (also known as a casket) is a box used to store dead bodies, either for burial or after cremation. Coffins used after cremation are what is known as an urn, where the ashes of the person are stored.
The word comes ultimately from Greek kophinos, a basket. In English, the word was not used in a funeral sense until the 1500s.
Any box used to bury the dead in is a coffin.
The main distinction between a coffin and a casket is the shape. A casket regularly has 6 - 8 sides while coffins have a rectangular shape.
Material and design
Many coffins are made out of materials such as wood, steel (which would have been used in Ancient Egyptian sarcophaguses), and many others. These types of coffins, for example wooden ones can have a rectangular or any other design, whereas a steel or any other metal used in making coffins (or sarcophaguses) could have the exact same but include religious marking added to make it look more appealing.

Terrestrial locomotion

Terrestrial locomotion has evolved as animals adapted from aquatic to terrestrial places. Movement on land makes different problems than that on water, with less friction instead being the effects of gravity.
There are three basic forms of movement found among land animals:
Legged - Moving by using legs
Limbless locomotion - moving without legs, mostly using the body
Rolling - rotating the body
Legged locomotion
Movement on legs is the most common form of land movement. It is the simple form of movement of two big groups with many members, the vertebrates and the arthropods.
Limbless locomotion
There are a number of land and amphibious limbless vertebrates and invertebrates. These animals, due to lack of legs, use their bodies to move. These movements are sometimes called to as "slithering" or "crawling".
Rolling
Although animals have never have wheels for locomotion, some animals can move by rolling their whole body.
Limits and extremes
The fastest terrestrial animal is the cheetah, which can get speeds of about 104 km/h (64 mph).

Zauro polder project

The Zauro polder project is an irrigation plan for the Rima River floodplain in Kebbi State, Nigeria.
The project started because the yearly rainfall in Kebbi, is not much. It is about . The temperatures are about , ranging from between April and June.
With these, there is little or no farming. Dams and irrigation plans are ways by which the government wants to use the abundant water of the rainy season for farming in the dry season.
Delays
The state government and the federal ministry of agriculture and water resources started the plan for the project started in 1969. However, there have been repeated delays.
As at July 1995 there was nothing being done on the project.
In March 2003, while campaigning for reelection in Birnin Kebbi, President Olusegun Obasanjo promised to complete the project.
In October 2006 the Federal and Kebbi state governments signed a memorandum of understanding for execution of the project, at an estimated cost of N15 billion.

IRAS 05280-6910

IRAS 05280-6910 (also known as LMC 582) is a red supergiant star or OH/IR supergiant star. It is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud and it is also the most reddened object in the Large Magellanic Cloud, far more than the redness that the famous red supergiant WOH G64 emits. Its radius is 1,367 to 1,736 times that of the Sun, making it one of the largest stars found so far. If it was placed at the center of the Solar System, its photosphere would reach and eat the orbit of Jupiter. It is estimated that the star loses (Solar mass) per year, this mass loss rate is the highest known for any red supergiant star.

Ethernet hub

An ethernet hub is an electronic device that runs a computer network. It is a simple device and is easy to configure. A hub acts like a repeater: all data that arrives to one port is sent to all other ports (without looking at IP address for the data's destination). That means that all devices in this network will get all data. A hub is a very simple device and does not operate Ethernet traffic. In contrast, a switch hub has a lower latency. Many hubs have LED signal lamps to show the state of the hub (which ports are connected and if the hub is working). A "collision" happens when two or more devices on the same network try to send packets at the same time. When collisions happen all of the devices have to go through a routine to resolve the conflict. The process is set in the Ethernet Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) protocol.
Some hubs may also come with a BNC and/or Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) connector to allow connection to legacy 10BASE2 or 10BASE5 network segments.
There are three kinds of hubs:
Hub - This one described here. The hub does not look at individual packets and copies them to all ports, used as connection between LAN Segments.
Passive hub (intelligent hub) - The device monitors traffic going through the hub and all ports can be configured, also are called manageable hubs.
Switching hub - reads the destination address of each packet and then forwards the packet to the just correct port.
Uses
Hubs can be used for:
inserting a protocol analyzer into a network connection, a hub is an alternative to a network tap or port mirroring.
preventing a "loop" by accidentally connecting two ports together, which might be a big problem when switches are used.
working on Physical Layer of OSI.
Historically, the main reason for purchasing hubs rather than switches was their price. Today few hubs are produced, because they are not an effective solution for building networks.

Behaviour
Most morning glory flowers curl up and close during the warm parts of the day, and are wide open in the morning, like their name. On a cloudy day, the flower may last until night. The flowers usually start to fade a few hours before the petals start curling. They prefer full sun throughout the day. Some morning glories - such as Ipomoea muricata - are night-blooming flowers.
Cooking uses
Ipomoea aquatica (known as "water spinach", "water morning-glory", "water convolvulus", "Ong-Choy", "Kang-kung", or "swamp cabbage") is used as a green vegetable.

Piano Concerto No. 1 (Chopin)

The Piano Concerto in No. 1 in E Minor, Op. 11 is a piano concerto by Frederic Chopin.
History
In 1829, Chopin wrote his first piano concerto, the Piano Concerto in F minor. He wrote the concerto in E minor soon after he performed the concerto in F minor. However, the concerto in E minor was published first. So, it is given the number one.
Chopin first performed the concerto on 11 October 1830. It was a part of his last concerts in Poland. He played the concerto again at his first concert in Paris.
Structure
The concerto is written for solo piano two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, a trombone, timpani, and strings. It has three movements:
Allegro maestoso (E minor)
Romanze - Larghetto (E major)
Rondo - Vivace (E major)
Reception
The concerto was liked by the audience. It was praised after its rehearsal on 22 September 1830. However, almost no reviews was published for the first performance. This was because of the censorship at the time.
Robert Schumann said that "Chopin introduces the spirit of Beethoven into the concert hall" with his piano concertos.
