# Trenton Shooting Stars

The **Trenton Shooting Stars** were a professional basketball team in the International Basketball League (IBL) from 1999 to 2001.

## History

The team was owned by Herb Greenberg and Larry Keating was the president: Kevin Mackey was named coach and director of basketball operations in May 1999, and the newly opened Sovereign Bank Arena was the home court. During the IBL inaugural draft the Shooting Stars selected the following players: Kevin Ollie, Mark Baker, Shawnelle Scott, Todd Lindeman, Tyrone Grant, James Martin, Willie Simms, Moochie Norris, LaMarr Greer, Ryan Bowen and Cassette Wesson. Mackey resigned on January 19, 2000 citing health issues, and he was replaced by his assistant coach John Carideo, who stayed as the head coach until the end of the 2000–01 season. In the first IBL season the team finished with a 32–32 record: Ray Tutt was the leading scorer with 19.4 points per game, while Tyrone Grant led the team in rebounds with 8.8 and Ryan Lorthridge was the assist leader with 8 per game. Lorthridge was also the league assist leader. The Shooting Stars qualified for the playoffs, finishing second in the East Division behind the Cincinnati Stuff, but lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Richmond Rhythm.

In the second season, the team finished with an improved record of 27–25 (.519) and again qualified for the playoffs: they defeated the Cincinnati Stuff in the first round, but lost in the second round to the Grand Rapids Hoops. For the second year in a row, Ryan Lorthridge led the IBL in assists with 8.6 per game. The franchise ceased operations after the IBL folded in 2001.

## Art

Shipley has held a permanent art studio in Sydney since 2005.

Commencing painting in early adolescence he was captured by the expressive characteristics of colour and figuration.

Shipley’s debut solo exhibition; ‘*In Motion - Paintings’,* showcased sixty-seven oil paintings by the artist over three gallery levels. The show opened at the expansive Erskine Exhibitions and Events Gallery in October 2012, on Erskine Street Sydney. This inaugural exhibition was followed by four further solo exhibitions held between 2013 and 2019 in Woollahra, The Rocks and Redfern; along with numerous group exhibitions, invitations and prize inclusions.

Shipley when talking about his style of painting says; "I have always been interested in traversing the worlds of the static and dynamic in art." He says of his process; "Painting often feels like a boxing match between the self and my canvas, as I seek out an ultimate truth."

Since 2010 Shipley has produced various entries for the Sulman Prize, the Wynne Prize and the Archibald Prize; including portraits of esteemed Australian painter John Firth-Smith and prize winning Australian playwright and director Michael Gow.

Shipley presented his paintings at The Royal Exhibition Building in Melbourne as well as fulfilling painting engagements overseas during the second half of 2019. The painter held two successful solo exhibitions in Sydney during 2020 - *Love,* in the March and *To Live,* in the November. In 2022 he presented a new body of work to the public of Australia with an exhibition titled 'Castles in the Air.'

## Dance

Shipley’s credits in dance and choreography include productions such as *That’s Dancin’,* ABC Television, *Legends of Rock and Roll –“Once More with Feeling,”* featuring Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry and The Everly Brothers for Kevin Jacobsen and the Seven Network.\[2\] Shipley choreographed *Five Story’s High* for the Sydney Festival; a co-production with Opera Australia and the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, *The Four of Us*, a short film directed by Juan Baquero; *Camino Real* written by Tennessee Williams and directed by Mel Shapiro, as well as “*They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?”,* at the Gardens Theatre for the Queensland University of Technology. On numerous occasions Shipley performed as a dancer at *The Logies* and *The People’s Choice Awards* choreographed by Ross Coleman for the Seven Network. Shipley is also known for his outstanding work on Australia's Dancing with the Stars where he choreographed and partnered Seven Network news presenter Chris Bath to the Season 3 Grand Final.

Shipley has held various Ballroom and Latin American dance titles, including; British Junior Finalist, ‘International Championships’ Finalist at The Royal Albert Hall, London; as well as being the Australian Latin American and Ballroom Dance Champion. Shipley has represented Australia on numerous occasions at the World Championships and at a variety of other international Ballroom and Latin American dance events.

## Acting

Shipley graduated as an actor from Queensland University of Technology, and went on to further acting training in New York and The Eric Morris Actors Workshop in Los Angeles.

Shipley has worked on a variety of notable projects, some including; Sam Shepard’s American theatre classic *Buried Child* directed by Michael Gow, *The Forest* with Bille Brown; a Russian drama written by Alexander Ostrovsky and Shakespeare's *Richard II* for the Queensland Theatre Company.

Shipley has taught at the Actors Center Australia, Queensland University of Technology and the National Institute of Dramatic Art .

# Michael Steiner

**Michael Steiner** (born 28 November 1949) is a German diplomat who served as head of the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK). He was the German Ambassador to India from March 2012 to June 2015.

## Early life and education

Michael Steiner was born on 28 November 1949 in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. Steiner studied law in Paris and Munich from 1971 to 1977 and qualified as a judge in 1981.

## Career

In 1981, Steiner entered the German Foreign Office. As a young political officer in Prague in the summer of 1989, he won plaudits for his handling of a refugee crisis that helped lead to the fall of the Berlin Wall. As hundreds of East Germans surrounded his embassy grounds, asking for asylum and West German citizenship, he helped some of them over the wall himself, onto the embassy grounds, which were West German territory. Then he worked to negotiate a deal to allow the East Germans to leave the embassy and go to the West.

During his career with the German government, Steiner served as head of the liaison office for German humanitarian aid in Zagreb, made his mark in the 1990s working with the so-called Contact Group of nations monitoring the Yugoslav wars (of which Germany was a member), and as head of the co-ordination unit for multilateral peace efforts. He also led the special section "International Peace Efforts in Yugoslavia" from 1994 to 1995.

Steiner served nearly six months (January–July 1997) as principal deputy to Carl Bildt, the first High Representative in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. In 1998, while serving as Germany's ambassador in Prague, he was plucked by Chancellor Gerhard Schröder to work in the chancellor's office as his foreign and security policy adviser. And in 2001 he was forced to resign after the so-called "caviar affair".

In December 2001 he was appointed a head of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo by UN Secretary General, Kofi Annan. He was the third special representative of the secretary general for Kosovo since UNMIK was established in 1999. He followed Hans Haekkerup of Denmark and Bernard Kouchner of France, and was replaced by Harri Hermani Holkeri of Finland on 8 July 2003. From April 2010 to March 2012, Steiner served as Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan for the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

In March 2012 Steiner was pronounced new ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to India. On 20 July 2012, he hosted a festive ceremony at his residence in the honour of Zubin Mehta to acknowledge his outstanding contribution in the field of classical music.

## Personal life

Michael Steiner married Eliese Steiner, an art historian. They first met at the Colosseum in Italy.

## Controversy

In early 2001, Steiner was criticized for apparently leaking information about sensitive talks between Chancellor Gerhard Schröder and US President George W. Bush. On 2 November 2001, he had a row with three German soldiers stationed in Moscow, when Schröder's plane was delayed for refuelling on the last day of a tour of Asia. Steiner allegedly called the soldiers "arseholes" and demanded that they served him caviar during the delay. Soon after news media reported about the incident, Steiner publicly apologized and resigned from his post.

## *Lebe jetzt*

To celebrate his retirement as German Ambassador to India, the German Embassy released a video on YouTube named *Lebe jetzt*. The video was a homage to popular Hindi movie Kal Ho Na Ho starring Shah Rukh Khan. Steiner played the part of Khan, his wife Eliese played the part of Preity Zinta whereas former Indian External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid played the part essayed by Saif Ali Khan.

# PrivateCore

**PrivateCore** is a venture-backed startup located in Palo Alto, California that develops software to secure server data through server attestation and memory encryption. The company's attestation and memory encryption technology fills a gap that exists between “data in motion” encryption (TLS, email encryption) and “data at rest” encryption (disk encryption, tape encryption) by protecting “data in use” (random access memory). PrivateCore memory encryption technology protects against threats to servers such as cold boot attacks, hardware advanced persistent threats, rootkits/bootkits, computer hardware supply chain attacks, and physical threats to servers from insiders. PrivateCore was acquired by Facebook (now Meta Platforms) on 7 August 2014.

## History

PrivateCore was founded in 2011 by security veterans from VMware and Google with seed funding from Foundation Capital. PrivateCore “virtualizes” physical security and enables service providers and enterprises to deploy servers processing sensitive data in outsourced environments while maintaining security around data in use.

The company's memory encryption technology has been spurred by a number of industry trends including the increasing sophistication of hackers, a larger number of servers in outsourced environments, larger amounts of sensitive data being placed in persistent memory, and x86 virtualization technology which can increase the environment attack surface.

PrivateCore was acquired by Facebook, a deal that was announced on 7 August 2014.

## Technology

PrivateCore's focus is securing data-in-use on x86 servers. The company has taken advantage of recent microprocessor innovations including larger microprocessor caches and hardware cryptographic acceleration technology that enable more effective methods of encrypting memory while maintaining acceptable application performance. The technology approach goes beyond previous academic research efforts such as TRESOR.

PrivateCore assumes that the only element that needs to be trusted in a system is the Central Processing Unit (CPU). The firm uses Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chips and Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel TXT) to provide remote server attestation. PrivateCore also supports the cryptographic hardware acceleration provided by Intel AES-NI technology.

PrivateCore technology is positioned as being most applicable to outsourced or hosted environments where the enterprise cannot have trust in the computing infrastructure.

## Products

The PrivateCore vCage product portfolio comprises vCage Manager and vCage Host. vCage Manager validates the integrity of x86 servers running Linux as well as the vCage Host. vCage Host installs on bare-metal servers and provides a hardened hypervisor based on KVM that can secure server random access memory (RAM) with AES encryption. vCage Host does this by loading a secure hypervisor into the CPU cache and acting as a gateway to encrypt memory paging in and out between the CPU cache and RAM. vCage memory encryption leverages the KVM hypervisor but also has the potential to support other hypervisors. vCage Host supports existing KVM management tools.

vCage supports a number of use cases including creating OpenStack trusted computing pools as well as protecting x86 servers in co-location and bare-metal cloud environments.

vCage Manager and vCage Host became generally available on 11 February 2014.

text:
# Rhetorical reason

**Rhetorical reason** is the faculty of discovering the crux of the matter. It is a characteristic of rhetorical invention (*inventio*) and it precedes argumentation.

## Aristotle's definition

Aristotle's definition of rhetoric, "the faculty of observing, in any given case, the available means of persuasion", presupposes a distinction between an art (τέχνη, *techne*) of speech–making and a cognitively prior faculty of discovery. That is so because, before one argues a case, one must discover what is at issue. How, for example, does one discover available means of persuasion? One does not simply frolic through fertile fields of τόποι (*topoi*), randomly gathering materials with which to build lines of argument. There is a method endemic to rhetoric which guides the search for those lines of argument that speak most directly to the issue at stake.

George A. Kennedy explains the distinction when he writes that the work of rhetoric, in Aristotle's view, is

> to discover \[θεωρησαι (*theoresai*)\] the available means of persuasion" (1.1.1355b25–6). It is thus a theoretical activity and discovers knowledge. This knowledge, which includes words, arguments, and topics, is then used by the orator as the material cause of a speech. There is thus a theoretical art of rhetoric standing behind or above the productive art of speech-making. (1980, p. 63)

*Inventio* (rhetorical invention) then, involves more than a *techne*; it is also a faculty of discovery (*dunamis* (δύναμις) to *theoresai*).

The Aristotelian approach to *inventio* further assumes that reasoning employed in decision-making is a kind of probable reasoning.

> It assumes that, although the contingencies of nature and of individuals prevent our obtaining certainty about future political and social affairs, we still can use our reason to discover the best course to pursue. Such reasoning applied to human affairs to make decisions about what should be done is rhetorical reasoning issuing in praxis. (Moss 1986, pp. 2, 3)

## Moral inquiry

Judgments about what should be done in the future are generally matters of shared inquiry and are always contingent (based on probability). Shared inquiry, following Wayne C. Booth, can be understood as "the art of reasoning together about shared concerns" (1988, p. 108). It is shared because the judgment is discursively negotiated with reference to both the crux of the matter and in light of what is in the best interest of oneself or some other.

Accounting for both Moss and Booth, rhetorical reason may be conceptualized as a method of "shared moral inquiry", but with a special meaning of the word "moral". Moral inquiry, within the present context, means inquiry into practical matters (as opposed to mere speculation or scientific inquiry). Hans-Georg Gadamer uses "moral" in this sense in *Truth and Method* (p. 314). Albert R. Jonsen and Stephen Toulmin write that "moral knowledge is essentially particular" (1988, p. 330). Shared moral inquiry is moral, not because it involves questions of morality, but because it attempts to determine what is the right thing to do in contingent cases, where such judgments are not made deterministically. Moral inquiry is conducted in the contingent realm, and is concerned with the particular case.

Understood with precision then, rhetorical reason guides and φρόνησις (*phronesis*) drives moral inquiry. The aim of moral inquiry is sound moral judgment, but judgment in hard cases is frustrated because the crux of the matter is hedged in by a potentially limitless parade of particulars.

Rhetorical reason manages particulars by systematically determining the relevance of issues and identifying the στάσις (*stasis*, which is the most relevant of the relevant issues). Ascribing relevance is an act of *phronesis* (Tallmon, 2001 & 1995a, b). Hence, rhetorical reason is a modality of *phronesis* and also, as Aristotle famously notes, a counterpart of dialectic. That is, it depends upon practical wisdom for its proper work, and, in that work, it operates much like dialectical inference, only its proper domain is the particular case as opposed to the general question.

Hence, viewed as a guide to resolving tough cases, rhetorical reason is constituted by:

* topical logic (which guides inquiry by managing particulars)
* *stasis* (which guides inquiry toward the crux of the matter)
* sensitivity to maxims (which signal when the inquiry has taken a turn away from the instant case)
* dialectical inference (which helps clarify the issue at stake), and the entire enterprise is driven by
* *phronesis*

Individuals exercise rhetorical reason, but its excellence is realized in the public arena (i.e., in shared inquiry, by referencing pooled wisdom).

# Martin Körbling

**Martin Körbling** (born July 13, 1946, in Speyer, Germany) is a German-American internist and hematologist, university professor, medical researcher and pioneer of blood stem cell transplantation.

## Career

The classical language-humanistic high school time in Speyer was followed by Körbling's medical education at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg in Germany. His dissertation at the Pharmacological Institute of Heidelberg University under the leadership of Franz Gross dealt with the pharmacological effects of the hypotensive substance sodium nitroprusside. After finishing his medical studies, Körbling joined the renowned stem cell research group around Theodor M. Fliedner at the University of Ulm in Germany. At the invitation of the medical faculty of the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, he began in 1979 a 2-year research fellowship at the Johns Hopkins Oncology Center under the leadership of George W. Santos. This was followed by medical specialist training in internal medicine, subsequent habilitation at the Heidelberg University Hospital for Hematology, Oncology and Rheumatology and appointment of Professor of Medicine and Internist.

As a result of his stem cell research activities and at the invitation of the Ministry of Health of the USSR, Körbling, representing the Federal Republic of Germany as one of the experts around the then President of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Hans Blix, had in 1988 the opportunity to be among the first western observers to see and document the disastrous effects of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident on the cities of Chernobyl and Pripyat, including the medical effects on its population.

In 1990, Körbling was appointed to The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, where he worked as a clinical professor in the field of cellular therapy and stem cell transplantation, and as a scientist in the field of blood stem cell transplantation. Due to his research activities, he was granted the citizenship of the United States in 2005 while retaining German citizenship. In his capacity as a university professor, Körbling initiated and directed a student exchange program between the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and Heidelberg University.

## Scientific achievements

Körbling's scientific achievements in blood stem cell research and transplantation are documented by more than 150 published, peer-reviewed scientific articles in American and European professional journals, including the renowned The New England Journal of Medicine and the publication organ of the American Society of Hematology (ASH). Building on the first results of the research group around E. Donnall Thomas at Columbia University he developed at the University of Ulm a model of stem cell apheresis and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the preclinical dog model. In 1985, Körbling succeeded in the worldwide first successful clinical transplantation of circulating stem cells at the Heidelberg University Medical Center, a transplant procedure that has nowadays largely replaced clinical bone marrow transplantation. In a first series of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantations in 1996, he provided clinical evidence that blood stem cells are capable of building up the entire blood-forming system in a clinical setting and maintaining it functional for life. His further scientific work in 2012 provided indications that the regenerative potential of stem cells has a plasticity that is not absolutely bound to differentiation specifications. These data were published in the prestigious The New England Journal of Medicine and commented on in an article in The New York Times. As an expert in apheresis technology, Körbling was issued a US patent that describes the elimination of circulating tumor cells using nanotechnology.

# Private (film)

***Private*** is a 2004 minimalist psychological drama film directed by Saverio Costanzo. A debut film by the director, the film is about a Palestinian family of seven suddenly confronted with a volatile situation in their home that in many ways reflects the larger ongoing conflict between Palestinians and Israel.

Initially selected as the official entry from Italy for the foreign language film category at the 78th Academy Awards, *Private* was disqualified as its main spoken language is not in Italian (a rule that was changed, effective with the next year's Oscars, partly due to this film). The film has received the *Golden Leopard* (best film) award at the 57th Locarno International Film Festival.

## Plot

Mohammad, his wife and their five children live in a large, isolated house located halfway between a Palestinian village and an Israeli settlement. The house, in the crossfire of the two sides, is a strategic lookout point that the Israeli army decides to seize, confining the family to a few downstairs rooms in daytime and a single room at night. Mohammad refuses to leave this home and, reinforced by his principles against violence, decides to find a way to keep his family together in the house until the Israeli soldiers move on.

* **The Hollywood Reporter:** "While the film is ultimately too limited in its scope to have much lingering impact, it does make for a thoughtful addition to the growing list of films dealing with the Israeli/Palestinian conflict"
* **Los Angeles Times:** "An appropriately and deliberately gritty, drab-looking and edgy picture"
* **New York Times:** "Midnight raid by Israeli soldiers turns the home of a Palestinian family into an occupied territory in Saverio Constanzo's politically loaded allegory"
* **New York Post:** "The Palestinian characters are so thinly conceived that they might as well be named Victims One through Seven, and they're far more developed than the Israeli characters."
* **New York Daily News:** "Shot with digital cameras, "Private" has a gritty - sometimes grainy - documentary urgency that heightens the inherent tension, keeping viewers unsettled with the notion that a tragedy is always imminent."
* **L.A. Weekly:** "The young Italian director Saverio Costanzo puts an unnervingly intimate twist on the costs of military occupation in this aptly claustrophobic drama."
* **The Times:** "Saverio Costanzo’s Italian-made film adopts a stripped-down, naturalistic style to capture the tension as the squad leader proves equally fearsome to his men and the father’s angry children begin small acts of rebellion that threaten an uneasy equilibrium. Emotional and rational arguments fuel the occasionally heavy-handed script but the Israeli-Palestinian cast is strong in a film that shows how both sides are victims of violence."
* **Empire:** "The script is occasionally heavy-handed in laying out motivation and meaning, but excellent performances from the Israeli-Palestinian cast and a chilling moral elevate this to more than 'issue film' status. "

# Retford United F.C.

**Retford United Football Club** (also known as 'The Badgers') are an English football club based at Cannon Park in Retford, Nottinghamshire. They currently play in the United Counties League Division One.

## History

The club was founded in 1987 by Retfordian Brian Jackson to give the town a senior club after Retford Town had gone out of business. The club's inaugural season was in the Gainsborough & District League which was successful so it applied to join the Notts Football Alliance the following season and competed in that league up until 2001, when local business man Dean Vivians financial support, built the club house, ground, floodlights, everything necessary to rise up the football pyramid and they joined the Central Midlands League. Promotion after promotion followed and Just three years passed before another milestone was reached and the club joined the Northern Counties East League.

The success continued, finishing as runners-up in the Northern Counties East League Division One in 2005–06, gaining promotion to the Premier Division, which they won at their first attempt. They were then promoted to the Northern Premier League Division One South, which they won two years running, gaining promotion to the Premier Division in 2009. In all, between 2000 and 2009, they won a total of six championships, of various leagues and divisions, in nine seasons.

However, at the end of the 2010–11 season they finished bottom and were relegated to the Northern Premier League Division One South. Due to financial constraints, the club opted to resign from the Northern Premier League and to compete in the Northern Counties East League Premier Division where they again won the title in the 2011–12 season but they rejected promotion opting instead to continue in NCEL.

Retford reached the fifth round (last 16) of the FA Vase in the 2006–07 season, while their best run in the FA Cup has consisted of one appearance in the fourth qualifying round, in the 2008–09 season, where they were defeated 3–1 by Alfreton Town. Their first season in the FA Trophy in 2007–08 took them to the first round where they were defeated 5–2 by Histon. Retford were relegated from the First Division of the NCEL to the Central Midlands North League at the end of season 2017–18.

On 27 June 2022 Ryan Hindley was appointed the new manager, in his first season he won the Central Midlands Alliance North Division after getting 77 points from 28 games, late in the season the Badgers played local rivals SJR Worksop where Mark West scored his 100th goal for the club, after winning the league the club was promoted back to the Northern Counties East League for the 2023-24 season.

## Origins and youth structure

When Retford United was formed in 1987 it consisted of a senior team in the Gainsborough & District League and an under 10 youth team. Looking forward the aim was to get the senior team climbing the football league pyramid, and at youth level add a new team at the youngest age group until the club was competing at every level up to the seniors. Also girls football was introduced in the later years and still continues. The first-ever youth games were played on the Jenkins Sports Ground on Thrumpton Lane.

The Junior Section of the club now operate independently at Oaklands as Retford United Junior F.C.

The first senior games were played on the council-owned Goosemoor for a short period before moving to Oaklands and eventually to Cannon Park on Leverton Road at the start of the new millennium.

# Rhondes zofiae

***Rhondes zofiae*** is an endemic species of jumping spider in the genus *Rhondes* that lives in New Caledonia. Only the female has been described. First defined in 2016 by Barbara Patoleta, the species is unusually named after her mother. It is small and slender, with a wide light brown cephalothorax and thinner abdomen that is lighter and patterned with grey-brown patches. It can be distinguished from the related *Rhondes atypicus* by the position of its copulatory openings.

## Taxonomy

*Rhondes zofiae* was first identified in 2016 by Barbara Patoleta. The species was named after Patoleta's mother, Zofia Jendrzejewska. This is unusual, as naming species after members of a scientist's family is uncommon, and, when species are named after people, male choices far outnumber female names. The genus *Rhondes* was raised in 1901 by Eugène Simon for endemic species of jumping spiders in New Caledonia. It has been placed in the tribe *Viciriini* in the clade *Astioida*. Genetic analysis confirms that it is related to other species found only on the island, including members of the genus *Penionomus*, and not as closely related to members of the genus *Heliophanus*, and others of the *Chrysillini* tribe, as was originally suggested. The fact that the species on the island are both closely related to each other and genetically distinct from those found off the island is used as evidence of the evolution taking place after the breakup of Gondwana.

## Description

The spider is one of five members of the genus described by Patoleta in 2016. Only the female has been identified. Small and slender, it has a shape that is typical of the genus, with a wide cephalothorax, thinner abdomen, very large chelicerae and very long endites. The cephalothorax is light brown, with a covering of white scales, and measures 2.51 mm (0.099 in) long and 1.97 mm (0.078 in) wide. The clypeus is very narrow with long pale hairs. The abdomen is lighter, almost white, with a pattern of grey-brown patches. It measures 3 mm (0.12 in) long and 1.37 mm (0.054 in) wide. The chelicerae, legs and pedipalps are also shades of brown. Although the epigyne has a wide pocket similar to the related *Rhondes atypicus*, its copulatory openings are closer together. This also distinguishes it from other species in the genus, such as *Rhondes flexibilis*, which has a narrow pocket.

## Distribution and habitat

*Rhondes zofiae* was first identified from a female holotype found around Bois du Sud on Grande Terre, New Caledonia. It had been collected in 2004 in a forested area. It is only found in the south of the island. Despite the existence of similar environments on other islands across the Pacific Ocean, there is no evidence of the species in any other locale, and so it is endemic to New Caledonia.

## Synopsis

The multiple bodies of a traveling Goxhat poet find themselves in a very dangerous situation.

## Reception

"Knapsack Poems" was a finalist for the Nebula Award for Best Short Story of 2002, and included on the Honor List for the 2002 Otherwise Award.

*Strange Horizons* emphasized that the story demonstrates "the ability \[of science fiction\] to imagine the world in some other way," while the *SF Site* noted its "relentless humour and strangeness". *Tangent Online* praised its "imagination" and "sly comments about the life of a poet", calling it "so much fun to read".


title: Knapsack auction

abstract: A knapsack auction is an auction in which several identical items are sold, and there are several bidders with different valuations interested in different amounts of items. The goal is to choose a subset of the bidders with a total demand, at most, the number of items and, subject to that, a maximum total value. Finding this set of bidders requires solving an instance of the knapsack problem, which explains the term "knapsack auction". An example application of a knapsack auction is auctioning broadcast time among advertisers. Here, the items are the time units. Each advertiser has an adversitement of a different length and a different value for an advertisement. The goal is to select a subset of advertisements to serve in a time slot of a specific length to maximize the total value.

# Knapsack auction

A **knapsack auction** is an auction in which several identical items are sold, and there are several bidders with different valuations interested in different amounts of items. The goal is to choose a subset of the bidders with a total demand, at most, the number of items and, subject to that, a maximum total value. Finding this set of bidders requires solving an instance of the knapsack problem, which explains the term "knapsack auction".

An example application of a knapsack auction is auctioning broadcast time among advertisers. Here, the items are the time units (e.g., seconds). Each advertiser has an adversitement of a different length (different number of seconds) and a different value for an advertisement. The goal is to select a subset of advertisements to serve in a time slot of a specific length to maximize the total value.

## Notation

There are *m* identical items and *n* different bidders. The preferences of each bidder *i* are given by two numbers:

* A demand *si* \- an integer that determines how many items this bidder wants. The bidder needs precisely this number of items and has no use for more or fewer items.
* A value *vi* \- a number that determines how much money the bidder expects to gain from receiving exactly *si* items.

A *feasible outcome* of the auction is a subset *W* of *winning bidders*, such that their total demand is at most *m*: $\sum \_{i\in W}s\_{i}\leq m$. The *value* of a set *W* of winners is the sum of values of the winners: $\sum \_{i\in W}v\_{i}$. The goal is to find a feasible set of winners with a maximum total value.

In the broadcast time example, if there are 5 minutes allocated for advertisements, then *m*=300 (the number of seconds), *n*=the number of potential advertisers, *si*=the length of *i*'s advertisement in seconds, and *vi*=the money that *i* expects to gain if his advertisement is broadcast.

## Baseline solutions

If the demands and values of all bidders are publicly known, then the problem can be solved by any algorithm for the knapsack problem. The problem is NP-hard, but it has efficient constant-factor approximation algorithms as well as an FPTAS. In practice, usually the demands *si* are publicly known (e.g., the length of the advertisement of each advertiser must be known), but the valuations *vi* are the private information of the bidders. Therefore, the auction mechanism should incentivize the bidders to reveal their true valuations.

The VCG auction is a truthful mechanism that can be used to maximize the sum of values while incentivizing agents to reveal their true values. However, it only works if the outcome maximizes the values; it does *not* work with approximations (if the outcome is only approximately optimal, then VCG is no longer truthful). Finding the optimal outcome cannot be done in polynomial time unless P=NP. This raises the question: are there truthful mechanisms that work in polynomial time and attain an approximately-optimal outcome?

## Truthful approximation mechanisms

Mu'alem and Nisan gave the first affirmative answer to this question: they showed that combining two greedy algorithms yields a truthful 2-factor approximation mechanism.

Briest, Krysta and Vocking improved this result by showing a truthful FPTAS.

Dutting, Gkatzelis and Roughgarden presented a truthful deferred-acceptance auction that attains an O(log *m*) approximation, and proved that no deferred-acceptance auction can achieve a better approximation. This shows a separation between the general class of truthful auctions and the sub-class of deferred-acceptance auctions.

title: Very long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase

abstract: Very long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the SLC27A2 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is an isozyme of long-chain fatty-acid-coenzyme A ligase family. Although differing in substrate specificity, subcellular localization, and tissue distribution, all isozymes of this family convert free long-chain fatty acids into fatty acyl-CoA esters, and thereby play a key role in lipid biosynthesis and fatty acid degradation. This isozyme activates long-chain, branched-chain and very long chain fatty acids containing 22 or more carbons to their CoA derivatives. It is expressed primarily in liver and kidney and is present in both endoplasmic reticulum and peroxisomes but not in mitochondria. Its decreased peroxisomal enzyme activity is in part responsible for the biochemical pathology in X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy.

# Julian Cook

Colonel **Julian Aaron Cook** (October 7, 1916 – June 19, 1990) was an officer of the United States Army who gained fame during World War II for his crossing of the Waal river during Operation Market Garden in September 1944.

## Biography

Cook was born at Mount Holly, Vermont, on October 7, 1916, to an American father Nelson Pingrey Cook and an English mother of Irish descent, Honora (nee Gallagher). His parents met when Nelson, a travelling salesman in the UK, stopped for the night in a hotel in West Auckland, County Durham, and having enjoyed his evening meal, asked to compliment the cook, Honora Gallagher.

Julian Cook attended the United States Military Academy at West Point, and was commissioned as a second lieutenant on graduation in 1940. He volunteered for the airborne forces in 1941, joining the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment (504th PIR) as a cadre member on May 1, 1942, which became part of the 82nd "All American" Airborne Division. Cook started as Regimental Adjutant, as described in detail in *Birth of a Regiment*.

Cook made combat jumps into Sicily, Salerno, and Anzio before taking command of the 3rd Battalion of the 504th PIR in the spring of 1944, just months before Operation Market Garden. The regiment, due to heavy losses in Italy and a lack of airborne replacements, did not participate in the Allied invasion of Normandy.

On September 17, 1944, Major Cook jumped into the Netherlands near Overasselt. His battalion was initially involved in patrols to Wychen and Diervoort. Cook's most important battle was the Waal River Crossing, as detailed in great detail in *The Battle of the Bridges*.

Brigadier General James M. Gavin, commanding the 82nd Airborne, had ordered a crossing of the Waal River during daylight hours so the Americans could outflank the German defenders, who were dug in around the city's crucial bridges. Put in charge of the crossing, Cook was in the first wave across the river. As Cook's first wave began their crossing, the Allied bombardment began. The wind blew away the smokescreen, leaving the men in the water visible to the German guns. As a devout Catholic, Cook loudly recited *Hail Mary* during the crossing, spurring his men on under the withering fire. He took charge of the boats, redirecting those who had become disoriented and pushing the men along. Once ashore, the 504th PIR cleared the river bank, moved north and assaulted the railway bridge over the highway leading to the main road bridge in the village of Lent. Cook was subsequently awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, the citation for which reads:

> The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to Major (Infantry) Julian Aaron Cook (ASN: 0-23290), United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy while serving as Commanding Officer, 3d Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82d Airborne Division, in action against enemy forces on 20 September, 1944, near Nijmegen, Holland. Major Cook led his battalion with unparalleled bravery in the initial assault wave during the daring daylight crossing of the Waal River. Although his boatload suffered heavy casualties as a result of the incessant enemy small arms and artillery fire which raked the 250 yard wide stream, he guided the barge safely ashore. Although still under heavy fire, Major Cook remained on the river bank directing the remainder of his battalion coming ashore. On several occasions he plunged back into the river to pull damaged boats ashore and to care for the wounded. During the crossing heavy casualties were suffered, but Major Cook quickly reorganized the remainder of his battalion and led it successfully from objective to objective during the 4000-yard attack, until the north end of the Nijmegen bridge was reached and seized. Major Cook's thoroughness in effecting rapid reorganization and consolidation after the seizure of each intermediate objective was highly instrumental in the success of the entire operation. Major Cook's inspiring leadership, personal bravery and zealous devotion to duty exemplify the highest traditions of the military forces of the United States and reflect great credit upon himself, the 82d Airborne Division, and the United States Army.

After Market Garden, Cook was promoted to lieutenant colonel. Cook led his battalion during the Ardennes offensive in fighting around Trois-Ponts, Cheneux and Herresbach, and later on in the drive through Germany. At the end of the war, he was promoted to colonel.

In 1953 Cook became American liaison officer to the French forces in French Indochina. There he became ill, and spent eight months in hospitals.

He died at Columbia, South Carolina, on June 19, 1990.

Robert Redford portrayed Cook in the 1977 film *A Bridge Too Far*.

## Honors and awards

On October 8, 1945, by Royal Decree, Cook was knighted by Queen Wilhelmina, with the rank of Knight 4th class of the Military William Order. The Order is the highest and oldest honour of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which is bestowed for "performing excellent acts of Bravery, Leadership and Loyalty in battle". It is comparable to the French Légion d'honneur or the American Medal of Honor, but far less frequently awarded.

On September 19, 2022, a plaque was unveiled in Cook's honor on an apartment complex named after him in Nijmegen, the Netherlands.
