Glycogen storage disease type II

Glycogen storage disease type II (also known as Pompe's Disease) is a disease that causes glycogen to gather in lysosomes. It was also the first glycogen storage disease to be discovered, this happened in 1932 by Dutch pathologist J.C. Pompe. It is one of the rarest diseases in the United States, and the world.
The build-up of glycogen causes muscles to get weaker over time throughout the body and affects various body tissues, more commonly in the heart, skeletal muscles, liver and the nervous system.
Signs and symptoms
Newborn
The form that happens during early childhood usually comes to medical attention within the first few months of life. The usual presenting features are having a bigger heart than usual (cardiomelagy, 92%), low ability to resist muscle stretch (hypotonia, 88%), cardiomyopathy (88%), breathing problems (78%), muscle weakness (63%), feeding difficulties (57%) and not enough weight gain (inability to thrive, 50%).
The main things that doctors can look for include floppy baby appearance, delays in critical parts of being able to move (for example: being able to lift your head and neck), and feeding difficulties. A liver that is moderately larger than usual (mild hepatomegaly) might happen. Facial features include an unusually large tongue (macroglossia), wide open mouth, wide open eyes, and flaring of the babies nostrils (due to respiratory distress). The heart and lungs can be affected, shown by a faster breathing rate, the use of additional muscles for breathing, frequent and repeated chest infections, reduced entry of air into the lower left zone (due to cardiomelagy, or an enlarged heart), irregular heartbeat (arrythmias) and signs of heart failure.
Before a cure was developed, the average age of death was 8.7 months (if the disease was left untreated), usually due to heart and lung failure. However, this outcome has drastically changed since treatment has been available, and the life expectancy gets better with early access to treatment.
Late-onset form
This form is different from the infantile form mainly because it involves the heart less. It starts slowly and gets worse more slowly. The heart involvement, if present, is not as bad compared to the infantile form. The skeletal system is affected more, especially in the lower limbs.
In the late-onset form, symptoms include difficulty coughing, repeated chest infections, weak muscles, delayed development in being able to move, trouble swallowing or chewing, and reduced breathing capacity.
The prognosis depends on when the symptoms start, and later-onset disease generally has a better prognosis.

Members of both houses of the General Assembly are subject to term limits. Senators are limited to two four-year terms. Representatives are limited to four two-year terms. This is a total of 8 years for members of both houses. The General Assembly meets at the State Capitol in Jefferson City.
Qualifications
Members of the House of Representatives must be 24 years of age to be elected. Representatives also must be a qualified Missouri voter for two years, and a resident of the county or district they are to represent for one year. Senators must be 30 years of age, a qualified Missouri voter for three years. They must be a resident of the area they are to represent for one year prior to their election.
Sessions and quorum
According to Article III, Section 20 of the Constitution of Missouri, the General Assembly must convene (meet) on the first Wednesday after the first Monday in January following the state general election. It adjourns on May 30, with no consideration of bills after 6:00 p.m. on the first Friday following the second Monday in May. No appropriation bill may be considered after 6:00 p.m. on the first Friday after the first Monday in May. If the Governor returns a bill with his objections after adjournment, the General Assembly is automatically reconvened on the first Wednesday following the second Monday in September for a period not to exceed ten days to consider vetoed bills.
The Governor may call the General Assembly in special session for a maximum of 60 calendar days at any time. Only subjects recommended by the Governor in his call or a special message may be considered. The President Pro Tem and the Speaker may convene a 30-day special session upon petition of three-fourths of the members of each chamber.
Neither the House nor Senate, without the consent of the other chamber, adjourn for more than ten days at any one time. They may not be called to any other place than that in which the two houses may be sitting.

Pseudacris fouquettei

The Cajun chorus frog (Pseudacris fouquettei) is a frog. It lives in the United States. It lives in all of Louisiana and parts of Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Mississippi.
The largest adult male frogs are 30 mm long from nose to rear end and the smallest adult female frogs are 27 mm long. Adults are light brown or pink-brown in color with three darker brown stripes on their backs. Some have lines of spots instead of stripes. Some have neither. The iris of the eye is gold in color. There is a red-brown stripe from the nose all the way to the back legs. The skin of the belly is lighter in color with some dark marks. The throat can be yellow-brown in color. This frog mostly looks for food during the day.
The female frog lays 500 to 1500 eggs at a time. The eggs stick to plants.
The adult frogs do not go far from the water. They eat small animals without bones, for example, beetles, ants, and flies. Scientists think the tadpoles eat algae and dead plants. Some animals eat the tadpoles, for example spiders and beetles. Small snakes, for example garter snakes eat the adult frogs. Scientists think birds, turtles, and some mammals might eat this frog too. They have never seen what the frog does to try to get away.
This frog is not in danger of dying out, but there are fewer of them than there were in the past. This is because of humans build things where the frogs would live and because of disease.
This frog is closely related to Pseudacris nigrita and these frogs can have young together. The hybrid frogs, which have one P. nigrita parent and one P. foquettei parent, are healthy. Scientists think the two species may be joining together.

Dormant volcano

Dormant volcanos are the volcanos that are quiet but might erupt again in the future. If a volcano that has been silent for years erupts again or shows activity, it is called a "dormant volcano". Vesuvius of Italy is a prime example. After many years of dormancy, it re-emerged in 1931. Then it is dormant again. For example, Krakatoa in Indonesia, Aconcagua in Argentina, and Mount Fuji in Japan are dormant volcanoes.
Difficult to classify:
It is difficult to distinguish active and inactive volcanos.
For example, some scientists have described Mount Fuji as dormant or inactive. That volcano has been dormant since its last eruption in 1707, but is also classified as active. The Geological Survey of Japan lists Mount Fuji as among the active volcanoes on the island of Honshu.
Mis-labelled as dormant or extinct
Some volcanoes may remain dormant for a long time; and an eruption is a surprise.
Before 79 AD, Vesuvius was considered dormant.
Before 1991, the Pinatubo volcano in the Philippines was labelled as dormant.
Before 1995, the Soufriere Hills volcano on the island of Montserrat was dormant.
Before 1980, Mt. St. Helens in the United States was dormant.
Select list
There are many examples of volcanoes which are considered dormant.
Mauna Kea in Hawaii, the United States
Mount Edziza in Canada
Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania
Western Victorian Volcanic Plains in Australia
Trou aux Cerf in Mauritius
Mount Hood in Oregon, the United States

Apollo 14

Apollo 14 was the eighth crewed mission in the Apollo program. It was the third mission to land on the Moon. The nine-day mission left the Earth on January 31, 1971, and landed on the Moon on February 5. The Lunar Module landed in the Fra Mauro formation; this had been the target of the ill-fated Apollo 13 mission. During the two walks on the Moon's surface, of moon rock was collected. Several experiments, including seismic studies, were carried out. Commander Alan Shepard famously hit two golf balls on the lunar surface with a makeshift club he had brought from Earth. Command Module Pilot Stuart Roosa took several hundred seeds on the mission, many of which were planted on return, resulting in the so-called Moon trees. The pilot of the Lunar Module was Dr. Edgar Mitchell.
LRO finds the site
In June 2009, the NASA Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter was able to photograph the Apollo 14 landing site. The base of the lunar module and the astronauts footprints on the Moon's suface could be clearly seen.

War in Afghanistan (2001–2021)

The War in Afghanistan was a war fought by the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, The Netherlands, Australia and other countries against the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, after the terrorist attacks against the US on September 11, 2001.
On 31 August 2021 (local time), the war ended as the last coalition soldiers (from foreign countries), left Afghanistan.
History
The war started when the US invaded Afghanistan in 2001. The US and its allies forced the Taliban and Al-Qaeda to hide. In December 2001, the US and its allies founded a new government for Afghanistan. Its president was Hamid Karzai.
By February 2002, 5,000 soldiers from ISAF (or International Security Assistance Force) were in Afghanistan. That military force was led by United States. ISAF's soldiers were on loan from the militaries of NATO countries and allied countries. In 2012 ISAF was at its maximum: 130,000 soldiers (in Afghanistan).
In 2004 Hamid Karzai started as the first president of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. Even though the Taliban had lost power, they formed a "shadow government". Taliban insurgents, or fighters, controlled many parts of Afghanistan, and enforced their own laws.
Osama bin Laden was killed in Pakistan, May 2011.
British troops left Afghanistan in 2015, after 5 years of training the Afghanistan police to deal with threats from the Taliban.
After security deteriorated, American soldiers returned and over 10,000 were in the country at the end of 2017. In 2020, the US and NATO allies promised to leave Afghanistan as long as the Taliban agreed to certain things: not allowing terrorists to operate in its area, and starting peace talks with the Afghanistan government. In mid-2021, the Taliban began a military offensive to enlarge their territory as US and allied forces began to leave. By August 15, 2021, the Taliban had recaptured Kabul and defeated the Afghan government.
An anti-Taliban front took control of the Panjshir Valley, in August 2021.
During the 2021 evacuation from Afghanistan, over 150,000 people chose to to be taken out of Afghanistan; They were diplomats, other civilian staff, other civilians, and military staff.
The last military airplanes of the United States, left the airport in Kabul, one minute before 31 August 2021.
On 31 August 2021 (local time), the war ended.
Deaths and injuries
More than 15,000 Coalition soldiers were wounded: 6,773 US, 3,954 UK, 1,500 Canadian and over 2,500 other Coalition soldiers. 5,500 Afghan army soldiers and 200 Northern Alliance militants were killed in this war. 378 US civilian contractors were killed and 7,224.
Aftermath
An anti-Taliban front has control of the Panjshir Valley, as of 2021's third quarter.

Joe the Plumber

Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher (December 3, 1973 - August 27, 2023), better known as Joe the Plumber, was an American commentator, motivational speaker and political activist. He had conservative views and was a Republican. He was born in Toledo, Ohio.
He became well-known during the United States presidential election, 2008 when he asked Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama in Ohio about his ideas about taxation of small business. Obama reacted by saying that wealth should be spread among the people, which answer the Republicans categorized as being socialist.
Wurzelbacher was intending to start a plumbing business and therefore got the nickname "Joe the Plumber". He became a middle class stereotype in the campaign of the Republican presidential candidate John McCain.
"Joe the Plumber" became a hit in the 2008 presidential elections, often referred to both by McCain and Obama, and being interviewed about all sorts of topics.
In 2012 he tried in vain to be chosen in the United States House of Representatives on behalf of the Ohio's 9th congressional district. Two years after that, he started working in a Jeep factory.
Wurzelbacher voted for Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election.
In July 2023, Wurzelbacher announced he had pancreatic cancer. He died on August 27, 2023 from the disease at his home in Campbellsport, Wisconsin, aged 49.

Cubit

Cubit is the name for any one of many units of measure used by various ancient peoples and is among the first recorded units of length.
The cubit is based on measuring by comparing - especially rope and textiles, but also for timber and stone - to one's forearm length. The Egyptian hieroglyph for the unit shows this symbol. It was used through antiquity, the Middle Ages up to early modern times.
The distance between thumb and another finger to the elbow on an average person is about 24 digits or 6 palms or 1 1/2 feet (45.72 cm or 18 inches). This so-called "natural cubit" of 1 1/2 feet is used in the Roman system of measures and in different Greek systems.
Over time, units similar in type to the cubit have measured:
6 palms = 24 digits, i.e. ~45.0 cm or 18 inches (1.50 ft)
7 palms = 28 digits, i.e. ~52.5 cm or 21 inches (1.75 ft)
8 palms = 32 digits, i.e. ~60.0 cm or 24 inches (2.00 ft)
9 palms = 36 digits, i.e. ~67.5 cm or 27 inches (2.25 ft)
From late antiquity, the Roman ulna, a four-feet-cubit (about 120 cm) is also known. This is the measure from a man's hip to the fingers of the outstretched opposite arm.
The English yard has a long legal history, but its origin is not known. The English ell is essentially a kind of great cubit of 15 palms, 114 cm, or 45 inches (3.75 ft).

Abdülaziz

Abdulaziz (Ottoman Turkish: `bd l`zyz) (8 February 1830 - 4 June 1876) was the 32nd Sultan of the Ottoman Empire and was 111st Caliph of Islam. He ascended the throne when he was 31 years old, reigned between 25 June 1861 and 30 May 1876. He was the son of Sultan Mahmud II and became sultan after the death of his brother Abdulmecid I. He was deposed in 1876, having become unpopular, and was found dead six days later.
His Reign
Abdulaziz was fond of wrestling, hunting and arm wrestling. He expanded and modernized the Ottoman navy, making it the third largest in the world. This resulted in large debts to European countries. He also bought modern weapons for the Ottoman Army and expanded it.
Sultan Abdulaziz frequently organized trips to inland and abroad. He was the first Sultan who visited Egypt after Yavuz Sultan Selim who had conqueared Egypt in 1517.
As well as principalities Abdulaziz was the first Sultan who visited Europe. And often contacted with other countries' leaders.
In the peroid of Abulaziz the Ottomans pay attention to get along with West. Ottoman's westernization politics that was started after the Edict Of Gulhane were continued.
New provinces were created country-wide and the Istanbul University's system re-edited by copying France's education system. Sirkeci Train Station began to be built in the Abdulaziz era.
Here are some modernization introductions enacted by him.
New soldier uniforms were prepared
Post stamps were used for the first time
Lighthouses were built along the coasts.
Ottoman Bank was opened.
High schools and industry schools were opened.
Forest, mine, and medicine schools were opened
Rulers of France, Austria, and Iran visited Istanbul.
Lover of Polish Arabian Horses

Peerage

A peer is a member of the nobility. It is sometimes used instead of 'Lord'. In formal or old British documents, the House of Lords is called the House of Peers.
Ranks
In the United Kingdom there are five ranks of the peerage:
Baron is the lowest. In Scotland this is called a Lord, short for Lord in Parliament.
Viscount
Earl - this is an old Saxon word. In Continental Europe this rank is called 'count', the lord in charge of a county. An earl's wife is called a countess
Marquess - A special rank higher than an earl because a marquess's land was in the Marches, the border areas that must be defended. A marquess's wife is called a marchioness. There were not many marquesses in Scotland, and they usually spelled the title 'marquis' like the French
Duke - the highest rank.
Informally Barons, Viscounts, Earls and Marquesses are called lords, and instead of their name when speaking to them, the term 'my lord' is used. A Duke is never called a lord. 'Your grace' is used for a Duke.
Since 2004 a list of peers has been kept by the Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice. This list, called the Roll of Peerage had to be kept to prove who was a peer. The list of members of the House of Lords used to be the same until the hereditary peers were excluded. Official documents can only call someone a peer if their name is on the Peerage Roll.
Precedence
Sorting out which peer should precede (come in front of) in a procession or other event depends on three different things:
The rank. All dukes come before all marquesses, then earls, then viscounts and finally barons.
Country the peerage was created in. All Dukes first created by the King of England come before those created by the King of Scotland. After this come Dukes of Great Britain whose titles were created between 1707 and 1801 (during the existence of the United Kingdom of Great Britain). In 1801, the kingdom of Ireland joined with Great Britain to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, so Dukes of Ireland come next, followed by Dukes of the United Kingdom. The other types of peer follow in the same order.
England
Scotland
Great Britain
Ireland
United Kingdom
Finally the order is decided on the year the title was created.
Exceptions
The only exceptions are the royal dukes, and the Duke of Abercorn.
The dukes of Gloucester, Kent, Edinburgh, York, Cambridge, and Sussex are the most junior dukes, but because they are princes they rank ahead of all other dukes. In 1952 the Queen ordered that her husband, the Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, would be second only to her. The Duke of Edinburgh is now Elizabeth II's son, Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh.
The Duke of Abercorn. When the Irish Marquess of Abercorn was "promoted" in 1868 the duke was listed as a duke of the kingdom of Ireland, but was given precedence as if it was a peerage in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. Irish peers cannot attend the House of Lords.

First All-Union Philatelic Exhibition

The First All-Union Philatelic Exhibition was held in Moscow in 1924-1925. Its full name was the First All-Union Philatelic, Scripophilic and Numismatic Exhibition. This was because it combined the objects of philately, scripophily (collecting stock and bond certificates), and numismatics (of coins, money).
The exhibition was organised from 15 December 1924 to 15 February 1925. This was done by the Presidium of the All-Union Philatelic Association and Board of the All-Russian Society of Philatelists. The combined exhibition was meant to prepare formation of the All-Union Society of Collectors. The society was to be under the direction of Feodor Chuchin, the Commissioner for Philately and Scripophily.

2023 Arnheuser-Busch boycott

In 2023, several people began to boycott Arnheuser-Busch beers, mainly Bud Light. Arnheuser-Bush is among the biggest breweries in the world, and Bud/Bud Light is very popular in the United States. As a result, the issue is also called Bud Light fiasco. Arnheuser-Bush wanted to attract younger people. They ran an advertising campaign featuring Dylan Mulvaney. Mulvaney is a transgender woman and a transgender activist.
During a festival, known as the March Madness, Mulvaney starred in an advertisement for Bud Light. Many conservatives were against the video. One of them was the singer Kid Rock, who also triggered a boycott. As a result, the sales of Bud light fell between 11 and 26 percent. The sale of all Arnheuser-Busch brands fell around 1%.
