Grid cell

A grid cell is a type of neuron in the brains of many species that allows them to understand their position in space .

Grid cells were discovered in 2005 by Edvard Moser , May - Britt Moser and their students Torkel Hafting , Marianne Fyhn and Sturla Molden at the Centre for the Biology of Memory ( CBM ) in Norway .

They were awarded the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine together with John O'Keefe for their discoveries of cells that constitute a positioning system in the brain .

The arrangement of spatial firing fields all at equal distances from their neighbors led to a hypothesis that these cells encode a cognitive representation of Euclidean space .

The discovery also suggested a mechanism for dynamic computation of self - position based on continuously updated information about position and direction .

In a typical experimental study , an electrode capable of recording the activity of an individual neuron is implanted in the cerebral cortex of a rat , in a section called the dorsomedial entorhinal cortex , and recordings are made as the rat moves around freely in an open arena .

For a grid cell , if a dot is placed at the location of the rat 's head every time the neuron emits an action potential , then as illustrated in the adjoining figure , these dots build up over time to form a set of small clusters , and the clusters form the vertices of a grid of equilateral triangles .

This regular triangle - pattern is what distinguishes grid cells from other types of cells that show spatial firing .

By contrast , if a place cell from the rat hippocampus is examined in the same way ( i.e. , by placing a dot at the location of the rat 's head whenever the cell emits an action potential ) , then the dots build up to form small clusters , but frequently there is only one cluster ( one " place field " ) in a given environment , and even when multiple clusters are seen , there is no perceptible regularity in their arrangement .


Toshimichi Takatsukasa

, son of Duke Nobusuke , was a Japanese researcher of trains .

He was a descendant of Tokugawa Yoshinao and consequently was born into an aristocratic family , but , like all Japanese aristocrats , lost his title with the post - war legal reforms of 1947 .

He worked at TEI Park , a railroad museum in Tokyo .

He married the third daughter of Emperor Hirohito , Princess Kazuko ; they adopted a son from Ogyū - Matsudaira , Naotake .

On 28 January 1966 , Toshimichi Takatsukasa was found dead of carbon monoxide poisoning at the apartment of his mistress , Michiko Maeda , a Ginza nightclub hostess , who also died of the same cause .

While the official cause of death was attributed to a faulty heater , there was widespread speculation in the Japanese press that it was really a double suicide , caused by his inability to divorce and marry the woman he loved .


Bedtime for Bonzo

Bedtime for Bonzo is a 1951 American comedy film directed by Fred de Cordova , starring Ronald Reagan , Diana Lynn , and Peggy as Bonzo .

It revolves around the attempts of the central character , psychology professor Peter Boyd ( Reagan ) , to teach human morals to a chimpanzee , hoping to solve the " nature versus nurture " question .

He hires a woman , Jane Linden ( Lynn ) , to pose as the chimp 's mother while he plays father to it , and uses 1950s - era child rearing techniques .

This film is one of the most remembered of Reagan 's acting career and renewed his popularity as a movie star for a while .

Reagan , however , never even watched the film until 1984 , when he had already served his first term as 40th President of the United States .

A sequel was released called Bonzo Goes to College ( 1952 ) , but featured none of the three lead performers from the original .

Peggy died in a zoo fire two weeks after the premiere of Bedtime for Bonzo ; another chimp was hired for the second film whose name really was " Bonzo " .

Reagan did not want to work on the second film , as he thought the premise was silly .

Poverty in the Arctic

The Arctic is a vast polar region comprising the northern most parts of Canada , Norway , Greenland ( Denmark ) , Sweden , Finland , the United States ( Alaska ) , Iceland and Russia .

In recent years , the Arctic has been at the forefront of political and social issues .

Several matters have risen surrounding the issues of poverty and global warming and their effects on indigenous people in this region .

Indigenous people in the Arctic statistically fall below their nation 's poverty line .

Indigenous populations that were once largely self - sufficient and relatively food secure in the Arctic 's harsh environment are today struggling to sustain themselves as a result of poverty and also the impacts of climate change .

Currently , they are facing an overwhelming number of issues in relation to poverty including cultural loss , high rates of chronic illness and chronic disease , mental health disorders , lack of basic health needs and housing shortages .

In Canada 's arctic region , for example , infant mortality rate is 3.5 times higher than the national rate while life expectancy is 12 years lower .

In Greenland , life expectancy is 70 years for women and 65 years for men whereas in Denmark life expectancy for women is 80.59 and 75.8 for men .

Specifically , in the territory of Nunavut , unemployment rates range from 15 to 72 % .

In 2010 , 9.9 % of Alaskan households fell below their respective poverty thresholds .

Salmo aphelios

Salmo aphelios is a species of trout , a salmonid fish endemic to Lake Ohrid in Macedonia and Albania in the Balkans .

S. aphelios is one of four different forms of the Ohrid trout complex within the single lake , along with S. balcanicus , S. letnica , and S. lumi .

The various trout forms , which have been suggested to be different species , are distinguished by their breeding time and habitat , by which they in practice are thought to be reproductively isolated from each other .

Genetic data have not supported their distinction , though .

S. aphelios specifically spawns from May to July near the underwater springs on the eastern shore of the lake , at the Macedonian - Albanian border area .

Its flesh is typically of orange colour .

Overall , the Ohrid trouts are silvery in colour , with black dots .

High Priest of Israel

High priest ( kohen gadol ; with definite article ha'kohen ha'gadol , the high priest ; Aramaic kahana rabba ) was the title of the chief religious official of Judaism from the early post - Exilic times until the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE .

Previously , in the Israelite religion including the time of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah , other terms were used to designate the leading priests ; however , as long as a king was in place , the supreme ecclesiastical authority lay with him .

The official introduction of the term " high priest " went hand in hand with a greatly enhanced ritual and political significance bestowed upon the chief priest in the post - Exilic period , certainly from 411 BCE onward , after the religious transformations brought about by the Babylonian captivity and due to the lack of a Jewish king and kingdom .

The high priests belonged to the Jewish priestly families that trace their paternal line back to Aaron , the first high priest of Israel in the Hebrew Bible and elder brother of Moses , through Zadok , a leading priest at the time of David and Solomon .

This tradition came to an end in the 2nd century BCE during the rule of the Hasmoneans , when the position was occupied by other priestly families unrelated to Zadok .


Texas Flood World Tour

The Texas Flood World Tour was a concert tour in North America and western Europe , undertaken by American blues rock band Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble from 1983 to 1984 .

The band had released their debut album , Texas Flood , a week prior to the tour 's beginning .

Their sensational talent was demonstrated during a trip to Switzerland in 1982 , when they held a jam session with Jackson Browne in a downstairs bar after playing at the Montreux Jazz Festival .

Aware of the future opportunities that might accumulate from their performance and the first unsigned act on the festival , Browne offered Vaughan and Double Trouble free use of his personal studio to record Texas Flood .

Throughout the tour , the group 's career status escalated as their performances continuously amazed and stunned their audiences .

The first leg of the tour took the band to the United States and Canada , and then on to Europe where they toured for two weeks .

They then returned to North America , where during a leg that lasted more than three months Vaughan and Double Trouble opened for Men at Work and The Moody Blues .

The band then moved on to the Mid - Atlantic , where they concluded the leg before returning to the studio in January 1984 , although the tour resumed the following month .

The final leg incorporated recurring stops in several cities and a visit to Hawaii , before the band 's return home in late February .

The commercial success of the tour , though significant , did not alter the band 's modesty , and they continued in this career mindset .

However , the tour enabled the group to experience the overseas concert circuit , and gave them massive exposure .

In the case of Vaughan this would be ongoing through subsequent tours in the ensuing seven years , before his death in a helicopter crash in August 1990 .


Albertosaurinae

Albertosaurines , or dinosaurs of the subfamily Albertosaurinae , lived in the Late Cretaceous of United States and Canada .

The subfamily was first used by Philip J. Currie , Jørn H. Hurum and Karol Sabath as a group of tyrannosaurid dinosaurs .

It was originally defined as " ( Albertosaurus + Gorgosaurus ) " , including only the two genera .

The group is sister clade to Tyrannosaurinae .

In 2007 , it was found that the group also contained Maleevosaurus , often synonymized with Tarbosaurus .

However , this classification has not been accepted , and Maleevosaurus is still considered a juvenile Tarbosaurus or Tyrannosaurus .

Clevenger T. M. McLain found in an abstract , that Alioramus , commonly used as a derived tyrannosauroid , was an albertosaurine , or the sister taxon to the group .

Voyage of the James Caird

The voyage of the James Caird was a small - boat journey from Elephant Island in the South Shetland Islands to South Georgia in the southern Atlantic Ocean , a distance of .

Undertaken by Sir Ernest Shackleton and five companions , it aimed to obtain rescue for the main body of the Imperial Trans - Antarctic Expedition of 1914 – 1917 , which was stranded on Elephant Island after the loss of its ship Endurance .

Polar historians regard the voyage as one of the greatest small - boat journeys ever completed .

In October 1915 pack ice in the Weddell Sea had sunk Endurance , leaving Shackleton and his companions adrift on a precarious ice surface .

Throughout the duration of their survival , the group drifted northward until April 1916 , when the floe on which they had encamped broke up .

They then made their way in the ship 's lifeboats to Elephant Island , where Shackleton decided that the most effective means of obtaining rescue would be to sail one of the lifeboats to South Georgia .

Of the three lifeboats , the James Caird was deemed the strongest and most likely to survive the journey .

Shackleton had named it after Sir James Key Caird , a Dundee jute - manufacturer and philanthropist , whose sponsorship had helped finance the expedition .

Before its voyage , the ship 's carpenter Harry McNish strengthened and adapted the boat to withstand the mighty seas of the Southern Ocean .

Surviving a series of dangers , including a near capsizing , the boat reached the southern coast of South Georgia after a voyage lasting 16 days .

Shackleton and two companions then crossed the island 's mountainous interior to reach a whaling station on the northern side .

Here he organised the relief of the Elephant Island party , and the return of his men home without loss of life .

After the First World War , in 1919 , the James Caird was moved from South Georgia to England .

It has been on regular display at Shackleton 's old school , Dulwich College , since 1922 .

High (Knut Anders Sørum song)

" High " was the Norwegian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2004 , performed in English by Knut Anders Sørum .

The song is a dramatic ballad , with Sørum expressing his desire to bring an unnamed person " high " .

The lyrics suggest that this person has been beset by problems , and that Sørum believes he can go some way to curing them .

As Norway had finished the Eurovision Song Contest 2003 in the top 10 , the song was pre - qualified for the final .

Here , it was performed third , following Austria 's Tie Break with " Du bist " and preceding France 's Jonatan Cerrada with " À chaque pas " .

At the close of voting , it had received 3 points ( all from Sweden ) , placing 24th ( last ) in a field of 24 , thus requiring Norway to qualify through the semi - final at the next Contest .

The low score , and long wait before Norway scored any points at all , led Australian commentator Des Mangan to jokingly offer money for anyone prepared to vote for the country .

Initially , this was " a thousand bucks " , later climbing to " ten thousand bucks and my house " .

Mangan explained during this commentary that he did not want Norway to further extend its unwanted record of failing to record a point on the most occasions .

The song was succeeded as Norwegian representative at the 2005 contest by Wig Wam with " In My Dreams " .


West Papuan refugee dispute

In early 2006 , a furore erupted in Indonesia over the Australian government 's decision to grant temporary protection visas to 42 West Papuan asylum seekers .

The controversy caused diplomatic tension as well as a " war of cartoons " , with newspapers in Indonesia and Australia trading hits over a decision that the Indonesians say questions the sovereignty that they officially have over West Papua .

The issue was caused by the Australian Government 's decision through the immigration department to allow visas to 42 refugees that arrived in January .

Part of the Indonesian concern is based on the speed at which these asylum seekers were processed – forty - two were processed in just two months , with the remaining asylum seeker having been approved in mid - April .

The Indonesian government took the move as a direct challenge , inferring that the approval of the temporary protection visas indicated that the Australian Governmnent agreed with the West Papuans that they face persecution if they returned home .

Raymond Claude Ferdinand Aron (; 14 March 1905 – 17 October 1983 ) was a French philosopher , sociologist , political scientist , and journalist .

He is best known for his 1955 book The Opium of the Intellectuals , the title of which inverts Karl Marx 's claim that religion was the opium of the people – Aron argues that in post - war France , Marxism was the opium of the intellectuals .

In the book , Aron chastised French intellectuals for what he described as their harsh criticism of capitalism and democracy and their simultaneous defense of Marxist oppression , atrocities , and intolerance .

Critic Roger Kimball suggests that Opium is " a seminal book of the twentieth century . "

Aron is also known for his lifelong friendship , sometimes fractious , with philosopher Jean - Paul Sartre .

He is also known for his 1973 book , The Imperial Republic : The United States and the World 1945 - 1973 , which influenced Zbigniew Brzezinski and Henry Kissinger , among others .

Aron wrote extensively on a wide range of other topics .

Citing the breadth and quality of Aron 's writings , historian James R. Garland suggests , " Though he may be little known in America , Raymond Aron arguably stood as the preeminent example of French intellectualism for much of the twentieth century . "

A similar award is awarded in the OHL and is known as the Dan Snyder Memorial Trophy .

Sometimes the Jets ' award is called the same name .

With the Thrasher 's relocation to Winnipeg , Manitoba to become the Winnipeg Jets following the 2010 - 11 NHL season , there was worry ( by both Thrashers ' fans and those living in Snyder 's hometown ) that Snyder would be forgotten .

However , Scott Brown , Winnipeg 's director of hockey operations / communications , quelled those fears , revealing that " Craig ( Heisinger ) was in Atlanta and saw all the things they did for Dan Snyder and we are fully prepared and will be honouring everything to do with him .

Dan Snyder 's friends and family should not worry at all about that . "

On March 28 , 2012 it was announced that the Jets would continue the tradition of the award .

The Snyder family was invited to participate in the first ceremony in Winnipeg on the final game of the regular season .

On April 7 , 2012 , Winnipeg Jets ' defenceman Mark Stuart became the first Winnipeg Jet to be given the memorial award .

A largely self - taught man in science , he is commonly known as " the Father of Microbiology " , and one of the first microscopists and microbiologists .

Van Leeuwenhoek is best known for his pioneering work in microscopy and for his contributions toward the establishment of microbiology as a scientific discipline .

Raised in Delft , Dutch Republic , van Leeuwenhoek worked as a draper in his youth and founded his own shop in 1654 .

He became well recognized in municipal politics and developed an interest in lensmaking .

In the 1670s , he started to explore microbial life with his microscope .

This was one of the notable achievements of the Golden Age of Dutch exploration and discovery ( c. 1590s – 1720s ) .

Using single - lensed microscopes of his own design , van Leeuwenhoek was the first to experiment with microbes , which he originally referred to as animalcules ( from Latin animalculum = " tiny animal " ) .

Through his experiments , he was the first to relatively determine their size .

Most of the " animalcules " are now referred to as unicellular organisms , although he observed multicellular organisms in pond water .

He was also the first to document microscopic observations of muscle fibers , bacteria , spermatozoa , red blood cells , crystals in gouty tophi , and blood flow in capillaries .

Although van Leeuwenhoek did not write any books , his discoveries came to light through correspondence with the Royal Society , which published his letters .

Polish Film School

Polish Film School ( ) refers to an informal group of Polish film directors and screenplay writers active between 1956 and approximately 1963 .

The group was under heavy influence of Italian neorealists .

It took advantage of the liberal changes in Poland after 1956 to portray the complexity of Polish history during World War II and German occupation .

Among the most important topics were the generation of former Home Army soldiers and their role in post - war Poland and the national tragedies like the German concentration camps and the Warsaw Uprising .

The political changes allowed the group to speak more openly of the recent history of Poland .

However , the rule of censorship was still strong when it comes to history after 1945 and there were very few films on the contemporary events .

This marked the major difference between the members of the Polish Film School and Italian neorealists .

The Polish Film School was the first to underline the national character of Poles and one of the first artistic movements in Central Europe to openly oppose the official guidelines of Socialist realism .

The members of the movement tend to underline the role of individual as opposed to collectivity .

There were two trends within the movement : young directors such as Andrzej Wajda generally studied the idea of heroism , while another group ( the most notable being Andrzej Munk ) analysed the Polish character via irony , humor and a dissection of national myths .
