Ludwig Heinrich Edler von Mises (Galicia, Austro-Hungary, 29 September 1881 – New York City, 10 October 1973) was an Austrian-American economist, philosopher, and classical liberal.
He was of Jewish descent and a prominent figure in the Austrian School of economic thought.
Fearing a Nazi take-over of Europe, Mises emigrated to New York in 1940.
He published his most famous work Human action in 1949.
Mises had a big influence on the Libertarian movement that developed in the United States in the mid-20th century.
At the age of twelve Ludwig spoke fluent Yiddish, German, Polish, and French, read Latin, and could understand Ukrainian.
Mises was the older brother of the physicist Richard von Mises, a member of the Vienna Circle.
In 1900, he attended the University of Vienna, becoming influenced by the works of Carl Menger.
In 1906 Mises was awarded his doctorate from the school of law.
Economist and political theorist Friedrich Hayek came to know Mises while working as Mises' subordinate at a government office dealing with Austria's post-World War I debt.
Hayek wrote, "there I came to know him mainly as a tremendously efficient executive, the kind of man who, as was said of John Stuart Mill, because he does a normal day's work in two hours, always has a clear desk and time to talk about anything.
I came to know him as one of the best educated and informed men I have ever known...".p219 Hayek's development of Mises' theoretical work on the business cycle later earned Hayek the 1974 Nobel Prize in Economics (shared with Swedish economist Gunnar Myrdal).p68
In 1934, Mises left Austria for Geneva, Switzerland, where he was a professor at the Institute of International Studies until 1940.
Fearing that Germany might take control over Switzerland, in 1940 Mises left Europe and emigrated to New York City.
There he became a visiting professor at New York University.
He held this position from 1945 until his retirement in 1969.
He was not employed by the university, but funded by businessmen.
For part of this period, Mises worked on currency issues.
In 1947, Mises became one of the founding members of the Mont Pelerin Society.
No compromises
In a 1978 interview, Friedrich Hayek said about Mises' book Socialism:
"At first we all felt he was frightfully exaggerating and even offensive in tone.
You see, he hurt all our deepest feelings, but gradually he won us around, although for a long time I had to – I just learned he was usually right in his conclusions, but I was not completely satisfied with his argument".
After his death, his wife quoted a passage that Mises had written about Benjamin Anderson, and said that it best described Mises' own personality: "His most eminent qualities were his inflexible honesty, his unhesitating sincerity.
He never yielded.
He always freely enunciated [said] what he considered to be true.
If he had been prepared to suppress or only to soften his criticisms of popular, but irresponsible, policies, the most influential positions and offices would have been offered him.
But he never compromised".

"Futaba evacuees are so worried, because the government has not come up with a plan for the town yet, especially regarding compensation and housing.
People don’t realize what it means for people to lose their hometown.
It took several hundred years to create Futaba, yet it does not exist anymore.
It’s all gone.
Even if the level of radiation decreases in the future, we cannot go back to the town anymore, and if we merge with another municipality like Iwaki in Fukushima Prefecture, it would mean borrowing the institutions that city already has."

Vladimir Vasilievich Stasov (born 14 January [O.S. 2 January] 1824, Saint Petersburg; died 23 October [O.S. 10 October] 1906, Saint Petersburg) was a Russian art and music critic.
He wrote a lot about art and music in journals, newspapers and in letters to the press.
He lived at a time when classical music and other forms of culture were quite new in Russia.
Russian artists were imitating European art, but Stasov encouraged them to create a culture which was typically Russian, showing its own nationalism.
People saw him as the champion of the new Russian school in all the Russian arts.
He knew most of the great Russian writers, artists and composers of his day, and he wrote many letters including letters to the press in which he stated his views very forcefully.
Stasov’s father was an architect.
Stasov graduated from the School of Jurisprudence in 1843.
In 1847 he began his career as a music critic.
He gave a lot of support to Glinka who was trying to compose music that reflected Russian nationalism.
In 1856 a group of five composers often got together to discuss ideas about music.
Stasov called this group Moguchaya kuchka (“The Mighty Handful”).
The oldest one of the group was Balakirev who was like a leader and teacher to the others.
The other four were Mussorgsky, Cui, Borodin and Rimsky Korsakov.
They had ideas about music which were very different from those of Anton Rubinstein, the composer who had founded the Petersburg Conservatory.
Rubinstein thought that Russian composers such as Glinka were all amateurs and that music should be taught like it was in Germany.
Stasov and Balakirev were very angry about his views.
They started a Free Music School as a rival to the Conservatory.
They wanted music to reflect Russian folk singing, dancing and the tolling of Russian church bells.
Stasov gave a lot of encouragement to Russian composers and suggested ideas for compositions to them.
It is thanks to his suggestions that many great Russian operas were composed: Borodin’s Prince Igor, Mussorgsky’s Boris Godunov, Rimsky-Korsakov’s The Tale of Tsar Saltan, Sadko and The Maid of Pskov and Tchaikovsky's The Tempest and Manfred.
Stasov wrote biographies of the composers Glinka, Dargomïzhsky, Musorgsky and Borodin.
Stasov wrote in an interesting way that made the reader become enthusiasic about the subject.
He talked a lot about ‘nationalism’ and ‘realism’.
‘Nationalism’ meant that it should reflect the daily lives of the Russian people.
He encouraged painters such as Repin, Kramskoi, Vasnetsov and Antokolsky to paint the lives of the Russian people instead of classical or biblical subjects that were popular with European artists.
He became a member of the Imperial Academy of Arts in 1859 and stayed there, even when he was offered better jobs, because he felt that the Academy gave him freedom to express his thoughts.
He was made honorary fellow of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1900, together with the great novelist Leo Tolstoy.
An art critic is a person who writes about art.
He writes reviews which are published in newspapers, magazines, books and on web sites.
He often goes to museums and art exhibitions and then writes about the paintings and sculptures on display.
People often discuss what the art critic has said or written.
It may lead to a lot of discussion among art lovers.
When art critics write good things about young artists it may help them to become famous.
If they write bad things then it makes it difficult for young artists to have a good career.
So, art critics (just like music critics with music) have a lot of influence on art culture.
Critics such as Roger Fry have helped the public to understand the Post-Impressionist movement, and Lawrence Alloway helped to explain Pop Art.

An inversion is a chromosome rearrangement out of mutation.
In chromosome inversion, a segment of a chromosome is reversed end to end.
An inversion is when the chromosome breaks at two points in a chromosome (or at the end) and does a 180 degree flip.
The genes inside the inversion are in the reverse of the original order.
What matters is whether the inversion interferes with crossing-over during meiosis.
Meiosis is the type of cell division which produces sex cells (gametes).
Both chromosomes the same
Inversion on one chromosome only
When the homologous chromosomes pair in prophase I of meiosis, the genes on the chromosomes pair up.
The only way this can happen after an inversion is if the homologous pairs form a loop.
If a cross-over occurs within this inversion loop, it can lead to loss or gain of DNA.
For this reason, people with inversions in their germ cells often have lower fertility.
This is because the gametes are damaged.
The  is a nuclear power plant in the towns of Naraha and Tomioka in the Futaba District of Fukushima Prefecture, Japan.
The Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) runs the plant.
There are four nuclear reactors at the plant.
All four of them automatically shut down after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.
The plant is sometimes called Fukushima II Nuclear Power Plant because "Daini" means "Number 2" in Japanese.
The plant uses boiling water reactors.
Toshiba built reactors 1 and 3.
Hitachi built reactors 2 and 4.
All reactors at the plant reached cold shutdown by March 15, 2011.
In June 2011, 7,000 tons of seawater from the tsunami were still in the plant.
TEPCO planned to put it all back into the ocean.
But, about 3,000 tons of the water had radioactive chemicals in it.
Japan's Fisheries Agency did not let TEPCO release the water back into the ocean.
Japan's Prime Minister said the nuclear emergency at the Fukushima Daini plant was over on December 26, 2011.

Yifan Hou  (born 27 February 1994, in Xinghua, Taizhou, Jiangsu, China) is a female Chinese chess prodigy.
She was the Women's World Chess Champion 20102012.
She was the youngest ever to win the title, and the youngest female player ever to qualify for the title of Grandmaster.
At the age of 12, Hou became the youngest player ever to take part in the Women's World Championship and the Chess Olympiad (Turin 2006).
In June 2007, she became China's youngest National Women's Champion ever.
In 2010, she became the youngest World Chess Champion in chess history (men's or women's) by winning the Women's World Chess Championship 2010 in Hatay, Turkey, at the age of 16.
She then defended her title by defeating Indian Koneru Humpy in the Women's World Chess Championship 2011.
In the most recent (January 2012) FIDE rating list, Hou is ranked as the #1 girl player in the world, the #2 female player, the #10 junior player, and the #3 player aged 17 or under.
She is only the third female chess player to achieve a FIDE chess rating of over 2600.
In January 2011, Hou was recognised as the best Sportsperson of the Year in China involved in a non-Olympic event.
In January 2012 Yifan broke through to the highest level in chess.
She came joint first in the very strong Gibraltar chess tournament, an event with many grandmasters.
She tied with Nigel Short on 8/10 points ahead of top players like Michael Adams and Shakhriyar Mamedyarov.
To divide the prize money, a two game rapidplay match was won by Short 1½–½.
Significantly, she beat Judit Polgar and finished well above her.
This was the first time Polgar has lost to a woman since 1992.
Then, aged 16, she lost to her eldest sister, Susan Polgar, who was at that time a stronger player.
Yifan also beat Alexei Shirov, Zoltan Almasi and Le Quang Liem, and drew with Adams and Mamedyarov for a tournament performance rating of 2872.
This means she is the second highest rated female in the history of the game, and is closing in on Polgar's record grading.
There has been talk of a match between Polgar and Hou.
Polgar has never competed in events limited to women, but the prospects of such a match is "interesting".
Polgar, born 23 July 1976, is still an extremely strong player.

The Five, often known as The Mighty Handful, are a group of five Russian composers who met regularly in Saint Petersburg, Russia, in the mid-19th century.
The Russian name for the group: Moguchaya kuchka (The Mighty Handful) was given to them by Vladimir Stasov, the famous music critic.
The five composers were:  Mily Balakirev, César Cui, Modest Mussorgsky, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Alexander Borodin.
The group all wanted to write music in a Russian style, rather than imitating European composers.
They were part of the movement known in music as Nationalism.
They were five of the most important composers of the time.
Note that Tchaikovsky was not one of the group.
His music is more European-based, but he, too, often wrote very Russian music based on folk tunes.
Before The Five were established as a group, Mikhail Glinka and Alexander Dargomyzhsky were trying to create a Russian kind of music.
All the composers of The Five were amateur composers.
This does not mean that they were bad, it means that they earned their living in other ways and composed when they had time.
Rimsky-Korsakov was a naval officer, Borodin was a professor of chemistry, Cui was an expert in military armaments and Mussorgsky had been in the Guards and then in the civil service before he took up music full time.
Balakirev, the leader of the group, worked for a time for the Warsaw Railways.
He was the spiritual leader of the group: a kind of teacher and guide.
The composers of The Five tried to put the sounds of village songs, Cossack and Caucasian dances, and church chants in their music.
Russian peasants used to sing folk songs in which words or syllables were spun out with several notes into a long, lyrical line.
This influence can be heard in many of the Five’s works, especially in Mussorgsky’s operas.
They also frequently used music which sounded like that from Eastern Asia (“Orientalism”).
The group began to meet in 1856.
This was before Anton Rubinstein founded the St Petersburg Conservatoire.
Music at the Conservatoire was taught in a European way.
This is what The Five, together with the music critic Vladimir Stasov, were against.
However, in later years Rimsky-Korsakov taught at the Conservatoire, and Rubinstein who had left in to concentrate on his career as a pianist, often used ideas from Russian folk music.
The difference between the two parties had become blurred.
By the 1880s The Five were drifting apart because they each had developed their own personal styles.
Apart from Cui, whose music is not often heard today, the members of the group influenced or taught many of the next generation of Russian composers, such as Alexander Glazunov, Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov, Sergei Prokofiev, Igor Stravinsky, and Dmitri Shostakovich.
