title: Kingship of Tara

abstract: The term Kingship of Tara was a title of authority in ancient Ireland - the title is closely associated with the archaeological complex at the Hill of Tara. The position was considered to be of eminent authority in medieval Irish literature and Irish mythology, although national kingship was never a historical reality in early Ireland. The term also represented a prehistoric and mythical ideal of sacred kingship in Ireland. Holding the title King of Tara invested the incumbent with a powerful status. Many Irish High Kings were simultaneously Kings of Tara. The title emerged in the ninth and tenth centuries. In later times, actual claimants to this title used their position to promote themselves in status and fact to the High Kingship. Prior to this, various branches of the Uí Néill dynasty appear to have used it to denote overlordship of their kindred and realms. It was associated with Feis Temro, a pagan inauguration rite. The titles King of Tara and High King of Ireland were distinct and unrelated for much of history. The following is a list of those accorded the title in the Irish annals—the kings and legends. The dates and names of the early kings are uncertain and are often highly suspect. Several may be doubles of others, while composite characters may be entirely fictitious. Some may also be assigned to the wrong prehistoric kindred.

Born in När, Gotland, Josefin Nilsson was the daughter of revue artist and songwriter Allan Nilsson. She founded the Ainbusk group with her sister Marie Nilsson (1961-2024) and two friends Annelie Roswall and Birgitta "Bittis" Jakobsson. They were noticed by Benny Andersson who wrote them two songs that were successful in Sweden. They released their first EP in 1990.

In 1992, she received the Ulla Billquist scholarship, an award that encourages young artists. The following year, her first solo album, *Shapes* was written and produced by Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson of the ABBA group and ranked 14th in Swedish sales. She played the role of Svetlana in the Swedish version of *Chess* in 2002 and participated in the Melodifestivalen (Swedish national selections for the Eurovision Song Contest) solo in 2005 and with her group Ainbusk in 2008. She released several albums with her band from 1993 to 2008 and was noticed in a few movies but had to take a break due to health problems.

An Estonian-language cover version of Josefin Nilsson's "Surprise, Surprise" was made in 1995. It was named "Sa muutsid kõik" and performed by Estonian pop singer Nancy.

In 2015, Benny Andersson wrote a new track that she recorded with Marie Nilsson but it was not released in digital version until four years later. In 2016, she gave a few concerts in Gotland with her sister Marie. Shortly after undergoing hip surgery, Josefin died in her home in Gotland, on 29 February 2016, at age 46. In 2019, a documentary on the singer's life was broadcast on SVT and revealed the violence she had suffered from her former partner, who was not mentioned by name but soon revealed to be Örjan Ramberg, the latter being the main cause of her state of health. The documentary revived the debate on domestic violence in Sweden.

# Portland Tiara

The **Portland Tiara** was a diamond-encrusted gold and silver tiara made by Cartier for Winifred, Duchess of Portland to wear at the coronation of Edward VII and Queen Alexandra in 1902. It was exhibited at the Harley Gallery and Foundation's Portland Collection from 2016 until it was stolen and broken up in November 2018. The tiara was estimated to be worth £3.75 million.

## History

In 1902, William Cavendish-Bentinck, 6th Duke of Portland commissioned Cartier to make the tiara for Winifred, his wife, to wear at the coronation of Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. Winifred was one of the duchesses who held a canopy over Alexandra during her anointing ceremony. Afterwards, some of the gems were removed from the tiara to make a brooch. The gems are absent in a 1925 portrait of Duchess Winifred wearing the tiara.

### Theft

In 2016, the Harley Gallery and Foundation opened the Portland Collection Gallery within the estate of Welbeck Abbey, Nottinghamshire. The tiara and brooch were displayed in an armoured glass case. On 20 November 2018, thieves entered the gallery at around 22:00, broke into the display case using power tools and took the tiara and brooch. Security personnel arrived 90 seconds after the alarms went off, but the perpetrators managed to escape. Four people were arrested on 3 December 2018 on suspicion of burglary. At their trial in 2022, the prosecution said the Portland Tiara and brooch were taken to a workshop in London's Hatton Garden jewellery quarter within hours of the burglary. On 8 July 2022, three men were found guilty of stealing the tiara and brooch, which it is believed were transferred from London to Turkey.

## Appearance

The tiara was covered with brilliant cushion- and briolette-cut diamonds. The briolettes were supplied to Cartier by the Duke of Portland and probably date from the 17th century. The centrepiece was the Portland Diamond, which dates from the 19th century. It was flanked by two diamond drops and other pendant diamonds, all set in gold and silver.

# Walraven II van Brederode

**Walraven II van Brederode** (8 January 1462 – 14 January 1531) was Lord of Brederode, Vianen, Ameide, Bailiff of Hagestein and Burgrave of Utrecht.

## Life

He was the son of Reinoud II van Brederode and Yolanda de Lalaing. When he was three years old his father named him Bailiff of Hagestein. Just like his father Reinoud II and his uncle Gijsbrecht van Brederode, he was captured by Bishop David of Burgundy in 1470, but he managed to escape with some assistance and fled to Castle Batenstein. On 16 October 1473 he succeeded his father as the 10th Lord of Brederode. Walraven's succession ceremony was interrupted by his half-brothers, who were illegitimate however, leaving Walraven as the rightful successor. In 1486 he was knighted by Maximilian of Austria, and took a place in Maximilian's council. After the death of Maximilian, Walraven searched for a way to reinstate the rule of the Hook faction, which would lead to a new war. After several years, Walraven defected to the opposing faction, which would prove to be a good decision.

## Family

Walraven married firstly with the non-noble Geertruida van Alphen, and had several bastard children with her, who would later make claims to the lordship of Brederode. In 1492 Walraven married the noble Margaretha van Kloetinge van Borselen. She died in 1507, after which he married Anna van Nieuwenaar on 11 May 1508.

# Vescera (Ad Piscinam)

**Vescera**, also known as Ad Piscinam, was an ancient titular see and Roman colony in Roman North Africa. It has been identified as a site near Biskra in Algeria. It remains as a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church in the Province of Numidia.

## History

The city was founded soon after the arrival of the Romans around 200 AD under Septimius Severus' and became part of the province of Numidia. As a major settlement in the border region, it was significant even then. Its name was apparently bowdlerized by the Romans to *Ad Piscīnam* ("at the *piscīna*"), implying the presence of important waterworks.

The city fell to the Arab armies during the end of the 7th century. A significant portion of the inhabitants of the area still descend from the Arab bedouin tribe of Banu Hilal, others are mainly Chaoui Berbers.

## Bishopric

The city was the seat of a bishopric in Roman times and was one of the main centers in the Donatist schism of the 4th century. Three bishops are known:

In the 20th century the bishopric was nominally re-established as a titular see and three bishops are known.

# Pecking Order (game)

***Pecking Order***  is a card game, where players try to claim the best feeding spots in the jungle by playing their birds on the perches and determining who is stronger. It was published by Winning Moves Games USA in 2006 as the first game in its now discontinued Immortal Eyes line.

## Gameplay

The game is typically played over a number of rounds, decided in advance by the players. Players start the game by placing the board between them showing all the perches. Each player shuffles a set of cards (birds featuring the numbers 1-12 and a Jaguar) to create their deck. On a player's turn, they draw a card and place it on one of the perches face-down. If the opposing player already has a card on that perch, a battle occurs, with the player playing the card being of aggressor. The defender flips over their card and the result is determined by the aggressor (whose card is still face down:

1) If both played birds, the player with the higher numbered bird wins.

2) If either played the Jaguar, that player who played it wins unless both players played jaguars, in which case there is a tie.

3) If it is a tie, the player controlling the 1 point (Tie-breaker) perch is the winner.

If neither player controls the tie-breaker perch, then the tie goes to the aggressor. The losing card is removed, along with any jaguars. There are certain perches that allow for special abilities or extra points. The 1 point perch is a Tie-breaker perch, allowing the controlling player to win ties. The 3 point perch is the Vision Roof and it allows a player who wins the perch to look at a face down card of an opponent. The 8 point perch is special, in that it is made up of two perches. If a single player controls both of the perches, he gains an additional 3 points (for a total of 19). The game ends when each player has played through their deck. Player tally their scores, and gain points for perches they control with birds. However, a perch controlled with a jaguar does not gain the player points. The player with the most points wins the round.

## Reception

Tom Vasel reviewed *Pecking Order* and said that "I've played *Pecking Order* several times and have mixed feelings on it. It is about as far away from the complexity of Magic the Gathering that Mr. Garfield can get - simply being a game in which players place thirteen cards on the table. It's very simple and has a bit of fun, but I almost feel that the game is over before it begins. I've seen people compare this to Lost Cities and other games of that type, but I just don't see it. The components are interesting (although overpriced), and gameplay is interesting - I'll certainly hang onto my copy. But I just am left with a slightly empty feeling after games, which will keep me from playing it too often."

## News coverage

* NEA announces Sen. Garcia to receive Reg Weaver Human and Civil Rights Award
* A column was published in the Albuquerque Journal newspaper Sunday July 11, 2010.
* On Sunday December 31, 2000, the Santa Fe New Mexican newspaper reports: Sen. Garcia receives the Executive Director's Award for distinguished achievement in assuring humane treatment of animals. Senator Garcia passed legislation making extreme animal cruelty a felony offense.
* *Cockfighting group wants to 'dig up dirt' about three people pushing for law*
* An article was published in the USA Today, March 12, 2007.
* Despite serving on the Senate's Ethics Subcommittee Senator Garcia was criticized for using her public position to protect her bar's interests when cited for serving minors and serving intoxicated patrons.
* In 2006 Garcia criticized Governor Bill Richardson for enacting tougher penalties for serving minors and intoxicated persons. On May 25, 2007, Garcia's own bar, Victoria's Lounge, was cited for serving intoxicated persons. Several weeks later Garcia held a meeting in Mesilla, to criticize Regulation and Licensing Department officials.

Garcia was criticized for creating an appearance of impropriety as a result of the citation.

### Death of Angel Jimenez

On July 12, 2010, the Las Cruces Sun-News ran an article entitled "Garcia: Campaign to blame for death." In light of extreme child abuse of 5-year-old Angel Jimenez that resulted in death, Sen. Garcia made the following comment: "Everyone's running for office right now. I don't know who's running the district attorney's office, the sheriff's office. Everyone's running around campaigning for office." The Sun-News article states that Garcia is campaigning for current Lieutenant Governor Diane Denish (D), who is running for governor against current Doña Ana District Attorney, Susana Martinez (R).

County officials (including D.A. Martinez) were quick to respond to Garcia's comments. Martinez stated "...that a criminal case did not come into the district attorney's office in reference to this child and a child abuse investigation, prior to her recent admission to the hospital." She also stated "We did not receive a criminal case for review or prosecution prior to that date."

County Sheriff Todd Garrison was quoted in the article: "As far as campaigning, I haven't done a darn thing ... I think I put four signs up," Garrison said. "That didn't take but 15 minutes, and my brother did that."

### Investigation of Governor Bill Richardson

In December 2008, news of an investigation into Bill Richardson's political contributions started to make national news. The news of the federal investigation into Richardson's GRIP (Governor Richardson's Investment Partnership) was reported on as early as August 28, 2008, by New Mexico political reporter Heath Haussamen.

In light of this investigation, Bill Richardson withdrew his nomination as Secretary of Commerce. Sen. Garcia commented on his withdrawal, and her comments were published in the January 6, 2009, edition of the Las Cruces Sun-News. She commented that Richardson's withdrawal "the most shocking thing I've ever heard," and continued by saying "\[she\] didn't know about any investigation going on." Garcia also stated she thought "...there was something mentioned early on in the media, but it wasn't anything substantive. ... I haven't been aware of any investigation."

Sen. Garcia's comments contrast Senator John Smith's (D-Deming) which were,"\[We\] weren't surprised" at the withdrawal.

While residing in Williamsburg, he chose to pursue education at the University of Iowa College of Law. He soon founded the general store Kelly & Lytle. Kelly's other business interests as a resident of Williamsburg included banking. He was the president of Williamsburg Savings Bank and a director at Parnell Saving Bank. Politically, Kelly was affiliated with the Democratic Party, had held the chairmanship of the Iowa County board of supervisors, and also served as justice of the peace. He was elected to the Iowa Senate for the first time in 1887, and held the District 25 seat until 1896. After concluding his second full term as state senator, Kelly returned to his store in Williamsburg, which closed when he moved to Colorado in 1906.

title: Portland Thunder (WFL)

abstract: The Portland Thunder was an American football team in the World Football League based out of Portland, Oregon. When the World Football League was created in October 1973, the Storm was the original New York franchise. When the Boston Bulls merged with New York to become the New York Stars, the original New York entry's draft picks were eventually relocated to Portland. They were the first major league football team based in Portland. They played at then Civic Stadium, now known as Providence Park. Portland's original owner, Houston accountant John Rooney, soon dropped out of the picture. By March 1974, Bruce Gelker, a former football player and owner of several Saddleback Inns, was named the new owner of the fledgling team. Gelker originally sought a team in Mexico City, which proved to be unfeasible. After approaching officials in Salt Lake City, he settled on Portland. The Storm hired Ron Mix, a Pro Football Hall of Famer, as general manager and Dick Coury, an NFL assistant with the Denver Broncos, as head coach. Before the season, Canadian businessman Robert Harris bought a controlling interest, but Gelker stayed on as team president. The Storm was the last WFL team to be organized, and as a result had mostly rookies on their roster. Among the standouts was running back Rufus "Roadrunner" Ferguson, ex-CFL and Detroit Lion quarterback Greg Barton, and linebackers coach Marty Schottenheimer and Bruce Bergey, brother of Cincinnati Bengals-Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Bill Bergey. In the first half of the season Portland played poorly, going 2-7-1. The Storm won their first game when they beat Detroit in the ninth week. Originally a Wheels home game, the contest was moved to London, Ontario. The team improved during the second half of the season, thanks in part to several NFL players cut during training camp that September. Among the new signings were Ben Davidson of the Oakland Raiders, and Pete Beathard, who had been cut by the Kansas City Chiefs. With the stock of veterans, the Storm won six of their final 10 games. One of those wins was a 26–21 upset of the powerful Birmingham Americans. The team was in trouble off the field as well. They only drew 14,000 fans per game. Additionally, an onerous lease with Civic Stadium rapidly drained the team of cash. By the middle of the season, Harris was so short on cash that he persuaded the Detroit Wheels to move their game to his hometown of London, Ontario. The players went the last few games without being paid, and reportedly they had to depend on sympathetic fans for food. They were forced to move their final home game, against the Florida Blazers, to the road due to the poor attendance, and only played after Harris guaranteed them $50,000. The money never arrived. The team finished the season with an overall record of 7-12-1, tied with Houston-Shreveport for 8th place in the 12-team league and seemingly qualifying them for the playoffs. However, league officials decided to reduce the playoff field to six teams—without telling anyone with the Storm. Soon after, the IRS slapped a $168,000 lien on the franchise. The Portland Thunder took the Storm's place in 1975 and lasted until the entire WFL folded halfway through their second season. The Thunder's office in downtown closed in October 1975. In 2013, the Arena Football League expanded into Portland, as the Portland Thunder, making many recall the Storm/Thunder.

# Reusable Booster System

The **Reusable Booster System** (RBS) was a United States Air Force research program, circa 2010 to 2012, to develop a new prototype vertical-takeoff, horizontal-landing (VTHL) reusable booster and a new prototype expendable second stage to replace the existing Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicles (EELV) after 2025. The program was discontinued in 2012.

## History

Program funding was initially set at US$250,000,000."Officials anticipate awarding up to three contracts for the project, where winners would compete for individual tasks of experiments and demonstrations that address technology, processes and other attributes of a reusable booster system, or RBS." The proposal deadline was March 19, 2011. The Air Force had developed a notional plan to build a fleet of eight of the RBS systems, to be flown from both Vandenberg Air Force Base in California and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.

Three designs were submitted: by Andrews Space, Boeing and Lockheed Martin. The first phase of the flight experiment in 2014 was to be a vertical takeoff, going downrange at not much more Mach 1, and a horizontal landing.

In December 2011, Lockheed Martin was awarded a contract to build a flight demonstration vehicle, the RBS Pathfinder, which was to have been completed in 2015. It was being developed under the Air Force Research Laboratory's (AFRL) RBS Flight and Ground Experiments (RBS-FGE) program.

In 2012, Lockheed began initial (short burn) rocket engine tests.

Phase 2 (e.g. demonstrating the rocketback maneuver) was cancelled by September 2012.

The program was discontinued in October 2012, citing Department of Defense funding reductions and an October 2012 negative report by the National Research Council (NRC), after having expended only a small fraction of the original $250 million budget planned to be spent through 2019.

Among other factors, the October 2012 NRC report suggested that the Air Force "should develop and fly more than one Pathfinder test vehicle design \[and that\] competition amongst RBS concepts should be maintained as long as possible to obtain the best system for the next generation of space launch."

## Propulsion

A large-liquid-engine group comprising the Air Force Space Command, propulsion researchers from AFRL and Space and Missile Systems Center's launch systems program office was also meeting to discuss engine options. The group considered whether to focus on developing oxygen-rich, staged combustion (ORSC) engines like the Air Force's long-running Hydrocarbon Boost program, use an existing design like the TR-107 or evolve a newer engine such as Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne's J-2X or RL60. Any path would have resulted in building an engine capable of roughly 250,000 lbf (1112 kN) thrust by 2020.


title: Revolo

abstract: Revolo is a plug-in parallel hybrid technology that can be retrofitted in both existing and new cars. This technology can also be used in buses and trucks. The technology was developed by KPIT Technologies and the product will be manufactured through a joint venture between Bharat Forge and KPIT. As part of the joint venture, KPIT will license the hybrid technology while Bharat Forge will provide manufacturing, assembly, and integration. Pre-compliance tests conducted at the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), Pune have confirmed that the technology provides fuel efficiency improvements by over 40 percent and a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by over 30%. The technology is to be marketed to OEMs and individual vehicle owners through a network of dealerships.

The technology is to be marketed to OEMs and individual vehicle owners through a network of dealerships.

## Background

### Planning and concept

The idea of Revolo first occurred to Tejas Kshatriya in 2008 when he was stuck in Mumbai traffic en route to Pune.

KPIT sanctioned a team of four engineers for the project, which was kept separate from CREST, the research and development center at KPIT. It took 2 years of research and a budget under US$2 million to evolve the idea through trial and error and several failures, including the inability of the system to withstand a sudden surge in power when brakes were applied.

The research and development team studied the firing pattern of internal combustion engines and identified the weak spots that lead to fuel waste and created a technology that can convert a passenger car to a hybrid that is environmentally friendly, cheap, fuel-efficient, and at the same time offers good performance.

Revolo is designed to work in typical stop-and-go city traffic and allows cars to cruise at about 30 km/h in the third gear without straining the engine.

### Latest developments

KPIT continues the road tests of pilot vehicles as well as consumer trials with results so far having validated the pre-announced performance results. The team has further reduced the overall weight of the solution, improved its durability, and standardized many components across multiple vehicle platforms. Construction at the assembly and manufacturing plants continues. It is expected to be operational by March 2014.

The company will test various vehicles, including passenger cars, with engine sizes between 800 ccs and 2,500 ccs.

Production of limited hybrid kits is planned to start by the first half of 2012. The commercial production would begin in 2012–13.

## Technology

### Revolo technology details

The Revolo kit is similar to a retrofit compressed natural gas (CNG) kit which contains all required mechanical and electrical components in the package.

The kit can be installed in both petrol and diesel vehicles within 4–6 hours by trained technicians who will be trained by a joint venture that KPIT has formed with Bharat Forge.

The Revolo kit comprises a 7.5 to 10 horsepower electric motor developed and patented by KPIT, an electronic motor controller, lead–acid battery pack, mechanical assembly, and coupling, proprietary software for control algorithms of the motor and batteries, and battery management system.

As a parallel hybrid, the motor and engine will work simultaneously and as a plug-in, the vehicle can be charged through a standard external electricity source such as a domestic power outlet. Unlike an electric vehicle, the vehicle will operate as a conventional fuel vehicle even if the batteries are completely drained.

### Plug-in parallel hybrid conversion kit

The conversion kit is a lot less complex and light in weight in the context of the moving engine components which effectively enhances the fuel efficiency to twice as compared to existing solutions.

Battery specifications: The solution is battery agnostic. It can be adapted to work with various types of batteries such as lead–acid batteries or Lithium-ion batteries. The solution typically produces 60 volts from five valve-regulated, lead–acid batteries, and can be recharged from the standard Indian household current of 230 volts in 4 to 6 hours.

Revolo also consists of an in-built device that recognizes driving patterns and self-adjusts them to provide optimum efficiency in stop-and-go traffic situations.

### Pricing

Revolo is said to be 80 percent cheaper as compared to the after-market hybrid car kits available in the United States which cost around US$20,000. It can be retrofitted into any vehicle at an average cost of Rs. 100,000.


title: Kintzing Pritchette

abstract: Kintzing Pritchette was an American politician. He was primarily a political appointee within the federal government's various departments, which at the time included U.S. territories. He is best known as the last Secretary of the Michigan Territory (1835–1838), Secretary of the Oregon Territory (1849–1850), and serving a two-month term as Governor of the Oregon Territory after the resignation of General Joseph Lane. He was appointed to the last two positions by President James K. Polk.

# Kintzing Pritchette

**Kintzing Pritchette** (June 24, 1800 – April 12, 1869) was an American politician. He was primarily a political appointee within the federal government's various departments, which at the time included U.S. territories. He is best known as the last Secretary of the Michigan Territory (1835–1838), Secretary of the Oregon Territory (1849–1850), and serving a two-month term as Governor of the Oregon Territory after the resignation of General Joseph Lane. He was appointed to the last two positions by President James K. Polk.

## Michigan

In 1835, Pritchette was appointed as the Secretary to the Michigan Territory. He served until 1838, with Michigan becoming a state in 1837, with Pritchette then serving as the first Secretary of State of Michigan.

## Wisconsin Territory

Pritchette purchased the title to the lands of Madison, Wisconsin, by June 1839 and began offering plots for sale to the public. In October 1839, Pritchette registered the plat of Madison at the registrar's office of the then-territorial Dane County. At the time he platted the city he was residing in Detroit, Michigan. Also in 1839 he owned the American Hotel in Madison, and attempted to sell the establishment through his attorney, Moses M. Strong.

## Oregon

Pritchette came to Oregon from Pennsylvania and served as Territorial secretary from 1849 to 1850. He served as acting governor from June 18, 1850, to August 18, 1850. John P. Gaines had been appointed governor, but did not arrive in Oregon until August 18, when he was sworn in.

In May 1850, judge Orville C. Pratt of the Oregon Supreme Court appointed Pritchette to serve as defense counsel for the Native Americans charged with the Whitman Massacre at their trial in Oregon City, Oregon after the Cayuse War. Shortly after the trial, Pritchette was sworn in as governor. According to the account of U.S. Marshal Joseph Meek, Pritchette ordered Meek to free the five convicted natives. But Meek refused, on the grounds that former governor Lane had already signed their death warrants, and he carried out the executions.

Little is known about Pritchette today, as he is mentioned very little in the media reports of his day. No portraits or photographs have been found of him, earning him the distinction of being Oregon's only "faceless governor". Even the spelling of his last name is disputed, with at least four different spellings depending upon the historical document, including "Prichett", "Pritchett", and "Prichette". His first name is also spelled "Kentzing".

## Later years and death

After leaving Oregon he went to Washington, D.C. and worked for the Bureau of Indian Affairs as an agent. In that capacity, he dealt with the Santee Sioux in the Iowa Territory during the Inkpaduta affair in 1857. Pritchette later served as a United States Consul to Fiji at Laucala, where it was said he suffered from delirium tremens.

He died aboard the British-flagged brig *Rona* en route from Sydney to California via Huaheine in the Society Islands. He died from an unknown ailment, thought at the time to be "congestion of the brain", on April 12, 1869, at the age of 68 and was buried at sea. His personal effects were lost when the *Rona* sank on May 2, 1869.

title: Kireçburnu, Sarıyer

abstract: Kireçburnu is a neighbourhood in the municipality and district of Sarıyer, Istanbul Province, Turkey. Its population is 6,888 (2022). It is located on the northern shore of Bosphorus at European side. It is to the north of İstanbul centre with a distance over 15 kilometres (9.3 mi). During the Byzantine Empire era Kireçburnu was a village named Kleidai tou Pontou. It means the Key of Pontus. The reason for this is that Kireçburnu is the first place where you see the Black Sea when you go north from Istanbul. During the construction of Rumeli Castle by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmet II, the limekilns in the village were used as the construction material of the castle. Turkish for lime is kireç and for cape is burun; eventually the village was called Kireçburnu. As the urban fabric of İstanbul expanded Kireçburnu became a neighborhood of the city. Kireçburnu is bordered by Tarabya in the south. The neighborhood is well known for its fish food restaurants.

# King Arthur's Gold

***King Arthur's Gold*** is a free online action game developed and published by Transhuman Design for Windows, Mac and Linux.

## Gameplay

*King Arthur's Gold* (often abbreviated and referred to as *KAG*) is a game about mining resources, building castles and destroying the player's enemies. It is a side-scrolling 2D pixelated action online multiplayer and offline singleplayer war game with a focus on building by gathering resources, buying and unleashing siege machines, and player vs player combat. There are three playable classes: Knight, Archer, and Builder. Each class has its own role in KAG and works together to defeat the enemy team. Knights excel at close range combat and demolition using bombs and explosive kegs. Archers have superior mobility and a selection of specialized arrows (fire arrows which burn wood and enemies, water arrows with a "splash" effect that stuns enemies, and bomb arrows that destroy blocks and deal splash damage) and a grappling hook that can be used for scaling walls and escaping enemies. Builders erect fortifications block by block, build "shops" (mainly as structures to buy items), lay traps, dig tunnels and initiate escalades.

Some inspirations for the game are *Soldat*, *Minecraft*, *Dungeon Keeper*, *Ace of Spades*, and *King Arthur's World*. In *KAG*, two teams (by default red and blue, though by typing cheat commands in chat other teams of other colors, such as grey, magenta, and green, can be accessed and played) struggle to dominate the other on a giant randomly generated or custom-made 2D map. There are five online multiplayer modes: CTF (Capture the Flag - capture all enemy flags while not letting the enemy capture yours by bringing it back to their flag, and vice versa), TDM (Team Death Match - play as either an Archer or Knight in a 2-minute skirmish), THH (Take the Halls - capture all the halls to win), Sandbox (a free range mode with no objective) and Challenge (an assortment of different minute-spanning challenges, such as kill all enemies, or make it to the end of a map, where at the end of the match a leaderboard is shown along with the best score recorded on that server). The singleplayer mode includes Challenge and Sandbox modes like in multiplayer, along with a basic Tutorials section (Basics, Capture the Flag, and Take the Halls) and the short Save the Princess campaign, where the player fights against a purple-clothed necromancer named Sedgwick.

## Modding

The game has extensive modding support. Whole game logic is written in AngelScript and can be easily modified by anyone. Numerous mods have been created, adding new classes, items, and game modes. Total conversion mods also exist, e.g. *Shiprekt* where players build ships from blocks in a top-down view arena. Players can also create their own custom heads (the only point of customization) and use them along with the official built-in ones (which are mostly human, but a brown pop-eyed horse and zombie one can be found), as long as the modded server supports and recognize it. A few heads are recognized by modded, unofficial, and official games (multiplayer and singleplayer), but those are specially-earned, usually by being part of the development team of *King Arthur's Gold*. Heads are merely cosmetic, changing nothing, not even the hitbox where damage can be dealt.

## Development

The team of THD started working on KAG (*King Arthur's Gold*) on 18 April 2011, and the first alpha version was released only 3 days later. The public beta was released silently on 1 May, while the real release of the game was on 5 November. KAG is still under active development as of early 2019, the main focus is on bugfixing, adding minor content (now mainly done by volunteers), and supporting the community to develop content itself (make mods for the game).

## Reception

The game has positive (84%) reviews on Steam (84%) and received an aggregated score of 81% at Metacritic. As of April 2023 the game has sold over 470,000 copies on Steam. Early critics praised its fast-paced battles and light-hearted approach to medieval combat, while criticizing bugs and poor single player, but countless updates and bug fixes were added since then.

title: OR4D9

abstract: Olfactory receptor 4D9 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the OR4D9 gene. Olfactory receptors interact with odorant molecules in the nose, to initiate a neuronal response that triggers the perception of a smell. The olfactory receptor proteins are members of a large family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) arising from single coding-exon genes. Olfactory receptors share a 7-transmembrane domain structure with many neurotransmitter and hormone receptors and are responsible for the recognition and G protein-mediated transduction of odorant signals. The olfactory receptor gene family is the largest in the genome. The nomenclature assigned to the olfactory receptor genes and proteins for this organism is independent of other organisms.
