Boarding Gate is a 2007 French thriller film about the sophisticated power plays between a debt-ridden underworld entrepreneur, his provocative and ambitious ex-associate and a manipulative young couple who employ her. Written and directed by Olivier Assayas, the film features an international cast comprising Asia Argento, Michael Madsen, Carl Ng and Kelly Lin. Kim Gordon also plays a supporting role as an enigmatic businesswoman forced to intervene as events unfold in Hong Kong.

The film premiered 18 May at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival and later opened in France on 22 August 2007.

Plot

Paris
After discussing his plans for retiring by selling on the shares in his security company to his debtors with his partner, André, aging underworld entrepreneur Miles Rennberg is paid a surprise visit at his Paris office by aggressive underworld moll Sandra. Brazenly taunting him with her sexuality, she bluntly dissects their prior relationship—a nightmarish web of masochism, money, manipulation and dependency, pimping her out to dangerous clients in order to gain both a business advantage and perverse personal thrills.

She outlines her newest ambition, since their estrangement, of raising the necessary capital to run a nightclub in Beijing. Miles makes no pretense of the fact that he is less interested in the proposal than the woman, and encourages her to visit him at his apartment.

Without making any promises, Sandra leaves for her job at an import business, run by a young married couple: Lester and Sue Wong.

Sandra's own import sideline, drug running, is facilitated by her close bond of loyalty with low-ranking employee Lisa. Acting as her driver and lookout, Lisa escorts Sandra to the site of a drug deal that quickly goes sour when her buyer is revealed to be a Narcotics officer. Suspicious after Sandra's cool response to his earlier queries about a missing container in a recent shipment, Lester follows Sandra to the deal and accosts Lisa as she waits in the car. He sends Lisa away on his motorcycle and takes her place in the car.

After Sandra emerges, Lester drives her away from the scene. Expressing disappointment in her deceit, he takes her back to her apartment where it becomes clear that the two are romantically involved. After their sexual encounter, Lester receives a call from his wife and leaves.

Sandra appears to relent and arranges to visit Miles at his apartment. Goading him with recollections of their misdeeds, she reveals a deep-seated bitterness; she recalls, in particular, an incident where a group of Japanese clients she was entertaining drugged and raped her, and Miles' arousal at hearing the episode recounted in front of his girlfriend. They both drink and end up on the balcony. Sandra undresses and tries to instigate a violent sexual game, apparently of the genre they used to practice, by pinning Miles to the floor of the balcony and choking him with his own belt. Miles warns her off and leads her back inside to show her a pair of handcuffs, which he intends to use on her later in the evening. She expresses reluctance which he nonchalantly waves aside. When she tries to leave, he locks the door and pockets the keys.

After he takes a business call, she playfully restrains him with the handcuffs, then brutally shoots him in the head.

She quickly retraces her steps through the house, destroying evidence of her presence, and makes a swift exit with Miles' keys. Lester picks her up, gives her a modest sum of cash and the name of a contact in Hong Kong who will arrange her new life, promising to join her soon. Lisa first drives her to a club to establish an alibi, where the oppressive atmosphere and the noise provoke an aggressively traumatic and regretful response to her act.

Hong Kong
Hours behind Lisa, Sandra arrives in Hong Kong. She makes her way to the address of Lester's contact, who in turn sends her to a nondescript office somewhere else in the city. She is told that her contact is waiting for her in an adjacent room, but as soon as she enters, the door is locked behind her. In the labyrinthine mess of the locked office she eventually discovers the bound and murdered body of Lisa in a chair facing the back wall.

A manifestly wealthy Western woman arrives at the office and orders the men to bring out Sandra while chastising them for Lisa's death. Eventually, one of the men in the office is sent in after Sandra. Having switched clothes and positions with the corpse of Lisa, she manages to ambush the henchman and escape onto the streets. Whilst crossing on a ferry she cries over her last souvenir of her relationship with Miles, his keys, before dropping them into the water. With little money and no recourse to her credit cards or passport, due to risk of capture and extradition for Miles' murder, Sandra resorts to repeatedly calling Lester.

She eventually manages to contact his wife, Sue, who maintains that Lester is unavailable but agrees to meet Sandra. Sue is evasive and aggressive, revealing that whilst she knew of Sandra's affair with Lester, Sandra was not her husband's first infidelity and he never really planned to leave his wife to join her. The whole venture was an attempt to raise the investment capital for the Beijing club, an enterprise in which Sue was fully complicit. Sue later takes Sandra to a karaoke club where she spikes Sandra's drink with a sedative.

In a back room, Sandra threatens Sue with a gun and demands more information; Sue pleads her innocence until Sandra succumbs to the sedative's effects. She leaves Sandra unconscious on the floor. Sandra wakes in the home of the wealthy Western woman whom she escaped in the offices earlier. The woman explains that she owes someone a favor and sets up Sandra with papers and well-paid employment in Shanghai.

Nonetheless, Sandra eschews the easy escape and tracks Lester down in a Hong Kong shopping mall. She follows him up the staircase with an unsheathed knife, but as she prepares to stab him she is interrupted by a group of women coming the other way. Lester enters an expensive restaurant, meets with Miles' business partner, André, and leaves with a sports bag full of cash — possibly a payment for Miles' murder, which ensured that his shares did not pass to his unscrupulous creditors. Sandra follows Lester down to the doorway out to the car park, where he hesitates at the threshold as if aware of her presence. At the last moment, however, she finds herself unwilling to either kill or confront him. He drives away with the money.

Production

Origins and title
Writer-director Olivier Assayas cites the inspiration of the film's driving themes as a news story relating the murder of financier Édouard Stern during an S&M play session at the hands of his long-term lover, prostitute Cecile Brossard. The incident evoked the tone of his previous work on corporate deviancy, "Demonlover", and he determined to use it as the pivotal event for a new script.

The title Boarding Gate was the director's second choice for the film. His first, departed—a reference to the passport stamp applied by Hong Kong border officials upon leaving the country—had to be scrapped during filming upon the 2006 release of Martin Scorsese's The Departed. The final title was selected since it evokes the many easy conduits in the film, "the idea of a passage between two worlds."

Budget
The film's style, described as "Eurotrash," is—according to Assayas—an experiment in "constructing a project around B-movie economics".

Assayas decided to embark on the "B-movie" concept after frustrating financial complications interminably delayed production of another of his projects, intended to be "a very French film focusing on provincial life;" similar circumstances led to making of his previous film with Maggie Cheung, Irma Vep. The total cost of the film was under €2 million.

Filming
The film was shot over six weeks in just two locations: Paris and Hong Kong. The Hong Kong crew was entirely local, with the exception of the cinematographer, the sound engineer, the assistant, the script supervisor, the line producer and the director himself. Most of the filming was done with hand-held cameras, and Assayas admits to having obtained some of his shots illegally due to the restrictive nature of local permits. These "guerrilla shots" were conducted with a skeleton crew of only four members, who quickly fled the scene afterwards.

The local team was also of such an unwieldy size that Assayas frequently invented projects or errands simply to clear the set.

Casting
Lead actress Asia Argento was considered by the director to be "inseparable from the narrative"; protagonist Michael Madsen was cast later via a mutual association with Nick Nolte, as Assayas conducted a search for an actor suited to the physical properties of the role. The scenes documenting their relationship, from the reunion after their long and awkward estrangement to the murder in his apartment, were shot in chronological order. Their first meeting was on camera, during the shoot of the reunion scene. Assayas remarks on Madsen's unpredictability as an actor, contributing his own small touches to his scenes. The choreography in the scene of violent sex play on Miles' balcony involving strangulation with a belt, for example, was vastly expanded by Madsen's suggestions.

Kelly Lin and Carl Ng, playing the ambitious Wong couple, were selected as good examples of the "new generation" of actors working in the Hong Kong film industry. Kim Gordon, whose acting roles had been considerably undemanding before Boarding Gate, had worked with Assayas previously with the music for Irma Vep and Demonlover. Based on her experience of living in Hong Kong in her youth and on her desire to further her acting career, Assayas cast her in a supporting role.

Themes and significance
Wayne State University professor of English Steven Shaviro, author of The Cinematic Body, has composed a lengthy essay on the themes of conduits and interchangeability in the world of global capitalism as they are explored and visualized in Boarding Gate.

Reception
The film has garnered mixed to negative reviews. Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported that 30% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based on 43 reviews. Metacritic reported the film had an average score of 47 out of 100, based on 15 reviews.

Marketed as an "erotic noir-thriller", the film incited some tough criticism for the more explicit content which it explores, earning it the title of "a limp, sleazy inanity" with "a whiff of voyeuristic self-indulgence" in Variety's review of the film. Even the more positive pieces comment on this, such as Slant Magazine's review by David Pratt-Robinson that remarks that lead actress Asia Argento "looks ready to rape anything in sight".

The film's acting inspired a wide range of critical opinion, although the view that Asia Argento is one of the most appealing aspects of Boarding Gate is nearly universal. The Village Voice'''s J. Hoberman takes this common remark to its extreme, when juxtaposed with a scathing review of the film—"There's basically only one reason to see Olivier Assayas's self-consciously hypermodern, meta-sleazy, English-French-Chinese-language globo-thriller Boarding Gate, and her name is Asia Argento."

Several reviews go as far as to imply that it is the inevitable product of the actress' own provocative attitude rather than simply a performance. Manohla Dargis, praising Argento's performance as striking, notes that her "on-screen ferocity" only nearly rivals her prominent tattoos and "the ease with which she sheds her clothes, which explains why I can describe those tattoos with confidence." Describing her as "aggressively carnal", New York Magazine's David Edelstein makes the wry remark that he "can't help thinking there was a mix-up at the hospital and her dad was Klaus Kinski."

David Pratt-Robinson had a positive take on the character: "so fierce and so fragile,... a global misfit, a citizen of the world who can't quite find her place...yet, somehow, she makes the idea of being in transit feel like home."  Whilst criticizing her general approach to acting as "bluffing her way through", The New Yorker's David Denby similarly describes Sandra as "lewd and hungry, but she's not boring — the character keeps changing, and you can see Argento's mind working behind all the viperish moves."

Little attention is generally given to other performances, summarized by Variety in the phrase "cast, whether native English speakers or not, woodenly recite their lines." However, Kim Gordon's "god-awful cameo" as businesswoman Kay is frequently singled out for criticism. She "gives one of the worst musician-turned-actor turns in recent memory," according to Joe Neumaier of the New York Daily News.Boarding Gate'' was placed at 83 on Slant Magazine's best films of the 2000s.

Evans Music-and-Supper Rooms  was an entertainment venue for music and singing in the early nineteenth century, located at 43 King Street, Covent Garden, London.  The venue provided the type of entertainment which later evolved into music hall. What would later be known as the Evans Music and Supper Rooms was initially known as the Thomas Archer House. The house was built by Thomas Archer in 1712 for Admiral Edward Russell, the fourth Earl of Bedford's grandson. The House would later be sold to a man named Joy and turned into The Grand Hotel. Formerly the dining room of the Grand Hotel, a 'song and supper' room was established in the 1840s by W. H. Evans. It was also known as Evans Late Joy's, the venue previously being owned by a man named Joy. In 1842 the rooms were taken over by John Paddy Green, who had been one of Evans's entertainers. Green reconstructed the rooms and maintained their popular reputation. The room was  long by  wide.

Evans' existed as the most popular song and supper room in the West End for some time during the late 1800s  Entertainment was provided by choir boys singing madrigals and glees, followed by older comic singers such as Sam Cowell, Charles Sloman and Sam Collins. The patrons would eat, drink and talk at tables provided and participate in singalongs, sometimes of a "lewd" nature. A repeat performer there in the late 1870s was the comedian Arthur Roberts, who was known for his risqué act. In 1879, his performance of one of his "saucy" songs caused Evans's to lose its license for a year.  The venue was patronised by William Makepeace Thackeray, who presented it (in a composite portrait with the Coal Hole and the Cyder Cellars, two nearby song-and-supper rooms) as "The Cave of Harmony" in his novel The Newcomes and as "The Back Kitchen" in Pendennis.

Unlike the later music halls the patrons were male only, until the 1860s, when women were at last admitted. John Paddy Green said in an interview that women were not allowed in because they were uneducated.

The venue closed in 1880, and in 1930 the upstairs rooms in the building were occupied by the Players' Theatre Club who wished to revive the music hall tradition. The cast became known as the "Late Joys" and have since provided old time music hall entertainment at a variety of other venues.

Battle of Alesia

The siege of Alesia was the last major battle between the Gauls under Vercingetorix and the Romans under Julius Caesar, but the location of the historical city of Alesia remains under dispute.  The generally accepted location is in Alise-Sainte-Reine, but Danielle Porte, a professor at the Sorbonne, has argued for an alternative theory that a site in Chaux-des-Crotenay better fits the historical description.

Cathal or Cahal is a common given name in Ireland, spelled the same in both the Irish and English languages. The name is derived from two Celtic elements: the first, cath, means "battle"; the second element, val, means "rule". There is no feminine form of Cathal. The Gaelic name has several Anglicised forms, such as Cathel, Cahal, Cahill and Kathel. It has also been Anglicised as Charles, although this name is of an entirely different origin as it is derived from a Germanic element, karl, meaning "free man".

As is evident from the list below, the name was in medieval times most popular in Ireland's two western provinces, Munster and Connacht.

John Edwards (1742 – 31 August 1815) was an English botanist, painter, designer and illustrator, noted for his serial publication, The British Herbal.

After living in London until about 1778, he moved to Surrey, and exhibited with the Royal Academy and the Society of Artists, of which he was a member. Edward also produced textile designs, especially for calico. He published The British Herbal Containing One Hundred Plates of The most beautiful and scarce Flowers and Useful Medicinal Plants in monthly parts between 1769 and 1770, covering exotic and British flowers, using text gathered from various sources, and his own hand-coloured engraved plates.

A Collection of Flowers Drawn after Nature & Disposed in an Ornamental & Picturesque Manner, was his next publishing venture. The imprint dates of the plates show that he had started the project in 1783, completing 79 plates through the 1780s and 1790s. Edwards designed, etched and coloured all the plates himself, thus having complete control of the operation.

Edwards died in Hampstead.

Arthur Carron (12 December 1900 – 10 May 1967) was an English operatic tenor.

Carron was born in Swindon, United Kingdom. In his early career, he was also known as Arthur Cox which was and remained his given legal name. He was the first Englishman to sing at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York.

Career
Arthur Carron studied under Florence Easton and made his operatic debut at the Old Vic as Tannhäuser in 1929. In 1931 he became the Old Vic company's leading tenor when it moved to Sadler's Wells Theatre. His roles at Sadler's Wells included Fra Diavolo, Manrico of Il trovatore, Radames of Aida, Cavaradossi of Tosca, and Otello. In 1936 he made his Metropolitan Opera debut as Canio in Pagliacci. He remained at the Metropolitan until 1946, creating the role of Nolan in Damrosch's The Man Without a Country in 1937. Other roles there included Siegmund of Die Walküre, Tristan of Tristan und Isolde, Florestan of Fidelio, and Herod of Salome. The last six years of his career were spent at Covent Garden where he retired from in 1952.

He was also a founding member of the Swindon Amateur Light Operatic Society in 1952 and was the producer of their first production The Arcadians at The Empire Theatre in Swindon the same year. He did not appear on stage himself but was involved backstage and held the auditions at his house in Bath Road.

Commemoration
In November 2022 a blue plaque to Arthur Carron was installed on his home 79 Bath Road Swindon by Swindon Heritage and unveiled by his son Byron.

Ettington railway station was a railway station that served the village of Ettington in Warwickshire, England.

History
Opened on 1 July 1873 the station was situated on the East and West Junction Railway route from Stratford-upon-Avon to Fenny Compton.

The station had two platforms with a passing loop for the otherwise single line. Its buildings were of brick and to a design virtually standard for the line. There was a small waiting shelter on the down platform, access to which was by a barrow crossing. There were three sidings including one each to the goods shed and cattle pens.

Four years after opening the station had its passenger service withdrawn due to lack of business.  An extension to Broom Junction was incorporated in 1873 by means of a railway called the Evesham Redditch and Stratford-upon-Avon Junction Railway which opened in 1879. As trade picked up, the station was reopened on 22 February 1885.

The line became part of the Stratford-upon-Avon and Midland Junction Railway in a merger of 1908 and at grouping in 1923 it became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway.

The LMS found it a useful link between its Bristol and London routes in competition with GWR goods traffic to the Capital.

In common with normal single line working, tokens would be exchanged at the signal boxes associated with each station loop. Initially there was one block from Stratford to Ettington, and another from Ettington to Kineton. In 1911 the facility was added to switch Ettington box out during the night, and work with one long block - a novel system at that time.

The station closed on 7 April 1952 although through traffic continued to gain access to the Great Western Railway until 5 July 1965.

During the Second World War the station was used to transport munitions and troops to nearby RAF Wellesbourne Mountford. There is little evidence of the station left apart from one of the goods sheds and the site is now used as a timber merchants and stables.

Season cracking is a form of stress-corrosion cracking of brass cartridge cases originally reported from British forces in India. During the monsoon season, military activity was temporarily reduced, and ammunition was stored in stables until the dry weather returned. Many brass cartridges were subsequently found to be cracked, especially where the case was crimped to the bullet. It was not until 1921 that the phenomenon was explained by Moor, Beckinsale and Mallinson: ammonia from horse urine, combined with the residual stress in the cold-drawn metal of the cartridges, was responsible for the cracking.

Season cracking is characterised by deep brittle cracks which penetrate into affected components. If the cracks reach a critical size, the component can suddenly fracture, sometimes with disastrous results. However, if the concentration of ammonia is very high, then attack is much more severe, and attack over all exposed surfaces occurs. The problem was solved by annealing the brass cases after forming so as to relieve the residual stresses.

Ammonia
The attack takes the form of a reaction between ammonia and copper to form the cuprammonium ion, formula [Cu(NH3)4]2+, a chemical complex which is water-soluble, and hence washed from the growing cracks. The problem of cracking can therefore also occur in copper and any other copper alloy, such as bronze. The tendency of copper to react with ammonia was exploited in making rayon, and the deep blue colour of the aqueous solution of copper(II) oxide in ammonia is known as Schweizer's reagent.

Materials
Although the problem was first found in brass, any alloy containing copper will be susceptible to the problem. It includes copper itself (as used in pipe for example), bronzes and other alloys with a significant copper content. Like all problems with hairline cracks, detection in the early stages of attack is difficult, but the characteristic blue coloration may give a clue to attack. Microscopic inspection will often reveal the cracks, and x-ray analysis using the EDX facility on the scanning electron microscope or SEM should reveal the presence of elemental nitrogen from ammoniacal traces.

Tyrone O'Sullivan  (24 October 1945 – 27 May 2023) was a Welsh trade unionist who was Branch Secretary of the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) and Chairman of Goitre Tower Anthracite Ltd., the owners of Tower Colliery.

Early life
O'Sullivan was born in Abercwmboi, in the heart of the South Wales coalfield, into a mining family. After he joined Tower Colliery as an apprentice electrician, in 1963 (three years before the Aberfan disaster), his father was killed at Tower Colliery in a roof collapse. His great-grandfather had also died in a mining accident; he was killed in an explosion at Mardy Colliery in 1885.

Career
O'Sullivan became the Branch Secretary of the NUM branch of Tower Colliery in 1973. As an NUM activist, he became a flying picket, moving around Wales at the behest of Arthur Scargill, in the 1973 and 1974 strikes to oust Prime Minister Edward Heath's Conservative government.

1984 strike
When National Coal Board boss Ian MacGregor announced plans to close 20 pits and do away with 25,000 jobs in 1984, the planned closure of Cortonwood provoked a movement of Yorkshire miners who appealed to other coalfields for support. In light of the lack of support from Yorkshire with regards closures in South Wales, the South Wales branch as a region voted 3:1 against a strike.

O'Sullivan explained to his members at Tower the probable result of not fighting the closures, and gained 99% support:

O’Sullivan led flying pickets, a highly mobile type of picketing, from Tower over the following week to every pit in the South Wales region, as a result of which the pits had met and agreed to support the 1984–85 national miners strike. O'Sullivan later led the group of miners leaders against a national ballot during the strike, as it would have needed to include the Nottinghamshire branch, who would have voted against it - its leadership later formed the breakaway Union of Democratic Mineworkers.

He disclosed on the closure of Tower Colliery that he and his family knew at the time of the strike that their private home telephone had been bugged by MI5. Throughout the strike, O’Sullivan led groups of Tower miners around the country, drumming up support for the strike – O'Sullivan later joking that during the strike he spent more time in various bedrooms around the country with Glynn Roberts (later head of Human Resources at Tower Colliery), than his wife. These actions included a group who went to the village of Wivenhoe, where a group of Tower miners went to stop overseas import coal from coming into the harbour. O’Sullivan also acknowledged the changed role of women during the strike:

A taxi driver David Wilkie was killed when his car was hit by a concrete block dropped from an over bridge, and three miners within O'Sullivan's area were implicated.

Goitre Tower Anthracite Ltd
In October 1992, the Conservative Government as part of a privatisation program of British Coal, announced closure of 31 of Britain's 50 working mines. After public outcry, the Government reviewed the status of 21 of them, with 12 temporarily reprieved, including Tower. However, in 1994, after its closure was ordered by Michael Heseltine of the Conservative government of John Major, the Tower miners decided to mount publicity campaign. It didn't work, and on 23 April 1994 British Coal announced the closure of Tower. After the mine closed, the miners retreated to the club in Penywaun and agreed to O’Sullivan's suggestion for the buyout of the mine. The deal was secured when 239 miners each paid £8,000 from their redundancy payouts to buy shares in Goitre Tower Anthracite Ltd, the vehicle which then borrowed an additional £2million to buy the pit from British Coal. The pit was reopened on 2 January 1995, after the miners led a triumphant march back to the colliery. O’Sullivan had by now been appointed personnel director of the new company. His famed 1994 quote later became a line in a locally produced opera by Welsh composer Alun Hoddinott:

O'Sullivan was probably nearer to the truth in that quote than any other reason for buying the pit, as local unemployment then was 30% in Aberdare, and would have risen to 40% had Tower and its 400 employees joined the dole queue.

Politics
O'Sullivan had been a Labour Party member since he was 16. In July 2016, he endorsed Jeremy Corbyn's campaign in Labour Party leadership election. He said of Corbyn: "He's one of the most honest, intelligent men I think I've ever met. He only wants what's best for the people... He's really a genuine socialist." O'Sullivan first met Corbyn during the miners' strike and remembers the "incredible" support from Corbyn and local campaigners. At the end of the strike, the miners gave Mr Corbyn a medallion in recognition of his help.

Personal life and death
O'Sullivan lived in Mumbles with his wife, Elaine. The couple had two daughters and six grandchildren. He died on 27 May 2023, at the age of 77.

Award
Appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 1996 New Year Honours "for services to industry in South Wales", O'Sullivan was an adviser to the now discontinued Welsh Development Agency and an Honorary Fellow of University of Wales Institute, Cardiff.

The interleukin-18 receptor 1 (IL-18R1) is an interleukin receptor of the immunoglobulin superfamily. IL18R1 is its human gene. IL18R1 is also known as CDw218a (cluster of differentiation w218a).

The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine receptor that belongs to the interleukin 1 receptor family. This receptor specifically binds interleukin 18 (IL18), and is essential for IL18 mediated signal transduction. IFN-alpha and IL12 are reported to induce the expression of this receptor in NK and T cells. This gene along with four other members of the interleukin 1 receptor family, including IL1R2, IL1R1, ILRL2 (IL-1Rrp2), and IL1RL1 (T1/ST2), form a gene cluster on chromosome 2q.

Squadron Leader John Edwin Ashley "Willy" Williams  (6 May 1919 – 29 March 1944) was an Australian air ace during the Second World War. He served in the Middle East and North Africa with the Royal Air Force (RAF), and was among the Allied prisoners of war (POWs) murdered by the Gestapo following "The Great Escape" in 1944. He commanded No. 450 Squadron of the Royal Australian Air Force for three days, before he was captured in 1942.

Early years
Willams, who was born to Australian parents in Wellington, New Zealand, was from Sydney. According to one source, he grew up in or near the beachside suburb of Manly and was a champion surfer.

Willams travelled to the United Kingdom where he joined the RAF as a pilot officer on a short service commission in 1938.

Second World War
On 14 August 1939, Williams was promoted to acting flight lieutenant, relinquishing the rank on 27 October 1939, and was made a substantive flying officer on 17 August 1940. One year later to the day, he was made a substantive flight lieutenant.

On 11 April 1942, Williams received his first combat posting, when he joined No. 112 Squadron RAF, part of the Desert Air Force (DAF), flying P-40 Kittyhawks. Over the next two months, he also served with No. 94 Squadron RAF and No. 260 Squadron RAF.

Although he remained an RAF officer, Williams was redeployed to No. 450 Squadron RAAF on 14 June 1942.

During June 1942, he destroyed a Junkers Ju 87 and a Messerschmitt Bf 109 near Gambut. On 5 July, Williams shot down a Junkers Ju 88 belonging to I Staffel/Lehrgeschwader 1. Williams scored four victories and two damaged during his time with No. 450 squadron. These kills are believed to have been scored in Kittyhawk AK634 "OK-M".

In late September, Williams was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross.

During the Second Battle of El Alamein, DAF Kittyhawks played an important role, carrying out many ground attack sorties. During the battle, on 28 October 1942, Williams was promoted to Acting Squadron Leader and was appointed Commanding Officer of No. 450 Squadron. Three days later, while strafing a ground target near Buq Buq, he was shot down. Williams' aircraft was accidentally hit by fire from another member of his squadron. He crash landed and was seen to get out of his Kittyhawk safely. The ground was too rough for aircraft to land and pick Williams up. He later became a POW.

Williams had five official victories in air combat at the time of his capture.

Death
See Stalag Luft III murders

By early 1944, Williams and another 450 Sqn officer, Flight Lieutenant Reginald "Rusty" Kierath, found themselves imprisoned at Stalag Luft III, near Sagan, Germany.

Both men were among the 76 POWs who escaped during the famous "Great Escape" in March 1944. They were both re-captured and on 29 March, along with three other Australian airmen, were among 50 Stalag Luft III POWs murdered by the Gestapo. A posthumous Mention in Despatches was published on 8 June 1944. He is buried in the Poznan Old Garrison Cemetery, which is maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

Beba Idelson (, 14 October 1895  – 5 December 1975) was a Zionist activist and Israeli politician.

Biography
Beba Idelson (née Trakhtenbereg) was born in Ekaterinoslav in the Russian Empire (now Dnipro, Ukraine) in 1895. When she was eight, her mother died giving birth to her thirteenth child and at the age of fourteen she lost her father, Yitzhak.  Along with her grandmother and brother, she helped to support the family. In 1912, she graduated from high school, and went on to study Economics and Social Sciences at the University in Ukraine. In 1913, shaken by the Beilis trial, she became interested in Zionism and in 1915 she joined the “Youth of Zion” (later to be merged into Hashomer Hatzair). In 1917, she joined the Zionist Socialist Party and married Yisrael Idelson (later Yisrael Bar-Yehuda), a senior party member. For their Zionist activism, they were banished to Siberia. That year she also gave birth to the couple's only daughter, Rebecca. In 1924, thanks to an intercession by Maxim Gorki's wife, their banishment was converted to deportation to Eretz Israel.

Zionist and political activism
Between 1924 and 1926, Idelson was active in the World Union of Socialist Zionists in Europe, and in 1926 they immigrated to the British Mandate of Palestine. Yisrael worked for the party and became secretary of the workers of Petah Tikva while Beba worked in agriculture. She later divorced Idelson and married Haim Halperin. From 1927 to 1928 she worked as a statistician for the World Zionist Organization and then joined the Ahdut HaAvoda party. In 1930 she became secretary of the “Council of Working Women” and led several women's organizations. She was a delegate to the Jewish National Council and contacted many socialist leaders, arguably including Leon Trotsky in Mexico in October 1937.

During World War II Idelson and Hadassah Samuel from the Women's International Zionist Organization were the prime movers behind the volunteering of Jewish women from the Yishuv to the British army. A total of 3,200 women served in the Auxiliary Territorial Service, and 789 in the Women's Auxiliary Air Force.

Political career
After the State of Israel was established in 1948, Idelson was a member of the Provisional State Council and headed the Flag and Emblem Committee, which chose the Emblem of Israel.

In 1949-1965, Idelson was elected to the first five Knessets for Mapai. She was a member of the Constitution, Law and Justice, House, Foreign Affairs & Defense and Labor Committees. She promoted social reforms and women's equality and opposed the religious coercion. She also supported applying the mandatory draft to the IDF to women as well as men. In 1960, she was chairwoman of the Histadrut's ninth Committee and was its member until 1965. From 1968 to 1975, Idelson was chairwoman of the World Movement of Pioneer Women. She retired from the Council of Working Women in 1974 and died in 1975.

Overview

The interleukin-8 receptors (IL-8R) are two 7-transmembrane proteins in the G-protein coupled-receptor family: interleukin-8 receptor A (IL-8RA) and interleukin-8 receptor B (IL-8RB). These receptors are generally found on human neutrophils, a type of white blood cell of the myeloid lineage, with approximately 65,000 receptors per neutrophil. Both receptors have a size of 60kDa, are glycosylated (contains covalent attachments and modifications) and G-protein linked, and can cause an increase in intracellular Ca2+ levels. Binding of Interleukin 8 leads to activation of the cell (commonly a neutrophil), allowing it to recruit more white blood cells to the site of Interleukin 8 release and to produce enzymes that would assist in the destruction of foreign material at the site of infection

Structure

IL-8 receptors are 7-transmembrane proteins; they contain 7 alpha helices that each span the thickness of the phospholipid bilayer of a cell membrane. IL-8RA is a peptide of 350 amino acids, and IL-8RB is composed of 355 amino acids. Receptors A and B share 78% of their sequence identity, and are considered to be the only two biologically significant receptors of IL-8. The genes for both receptors are located on chromosome 2q35 and are each encoded by a single exon, and are 20 kb apart in distance. The close proximity and location of these two genes on the chromosome suggest that they are derived from the same ancestor sequence. The reported size of the translated protein is approximately 40kD, differing from the native purified receptors from the surface of neutrophils by 20kD. This difference could be due to the N-terminus glycosylations that occur post-translation and contribute to an increase in apparent size of the mature receptor.

N-terminus activity

The amino terminus of the receptors is located on the extracellular side of the protein, and function to determine the binding specificity of ligands to the receptor. The N-terminus of both receptors A and B are rich in acidic residues, which correlate to their high binding affinities for IL-8, which is rich in basic residues. Asp11 on the N-terminus, Glu275 and Arg280 (both on the loop between the 7th and 6th transmembrane domains) are the three main peptide residues that participate in ligand binding on IL-8A. IL-8B shows a similar binding structure. These three residues are brought close together via a disulfide bridge.

C-terminus activity

The carboxyl terminus of the receptors is located on the intracellular side of the protein, and is rich in serine and threonine residues (a characteristic of many proteins of the 7-transmembrane G-protein coupled receptor family). The C-terminus is a target for phosphorylation and exhibits kinase activity. This is the beginning of signaling pathways and phosphorylation cascades to recruit neutrophils and angiogenesis, the development and growth of new blood vessels.

Expression and function

Both IL-8RA and IL-8RB are expressed in neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, basophils, T-lymphocytes, and endothelial cells. IL-8RB is expressed additionally in neurons of the central nervous system. IL-8RA is highly specific for interleukin-8 and only responds when this particular ligand is bound to its receptor site, exhibiting "specific" binding behavior. IL-8RB binds to IL-8 with the same affinity as IL-8RA, but also binds to neutrophil-activating protein 2 (NAP-2) and other small receptor molecules of the CXC chemokine family with lower affinity than IL-8 binding, exhibiting a "shared" binding behavior. Chemokines are a class of small molecules that induce the recruitment of leukocytes and stimulate pro-inflammatory responses; the responsiveness of IL-8R to chemokines suggests that is heavily involved in recruitment of white blood cells for inflammatory and immunological response purposes.

The binding of IL-8 to the receptor induces the following three main responses in neutrophils, all of which assist a neutrophil in developing molecular mechanisms to target and kill pathogens: shape and conformational change of the neutrophil (which allows for transendothelial migration of the cell), degranulation (causing the release of enzymes within the cell), and the dissociation of heterotrimeric G-proteins (a typical effect of ligands binding to 7TM G-protein coupled receptors), thereby activating them. The activation of G-proteins leads to signal transduction and phosphorylation cascades, with the ultimate effect of changing gene expression of the neutrophil to allow for recruitment of other white blood cells to the local area.

The intuitive criterion is a technique for equilibrium refinement in signaling games. It aims to reduce possible outcome scenarios by restricting the possible sender types to types who could obtain higher utility levels by deviating to off-the-equilibrium messages, and to types for which the off-the-equilibrium message is not equilibrium dominated.

Background
A signaling game is a game in which one player ("sender") has private information regarding his type. He sends a signal ("message") to the other player ("receiver") to indicate his type. The receiver then takes an action. Both the signal and the receiver action can affect both players' utilities. A Perfect Bayesian equilibrium (PBE) in such a game consists of three elements.

 A sender strategy - a function from the sender type to a signal that maximizes this type's utility given the receiver strategy.
 A receiver belief - a function from the signal to a probability distribution over sender types; the belief must be consistent with the sender strategy in the sense of Bayes' rule.
 A receiver strategy - a function from the signal to an action which maximizes the receiver's utility given his belief.

The definition of PBE does, however, not require anything about signals that the sender never sends, since Bayes' rule is not applicable for events that occur with probability zero. Therefore, it is possible to have a PBE with the following properties.

 The sender only sends one signal.
 The receiver believes that, if the sender did send a different signal, then the receiver would take an action that effectively "punishes" the sender by giving low utility to all types.
 There exists a belief such that the punishing action is optimal for the receiver.

While this satisfies the definition of PBE, the receiver belief might be "unreasonable". The intuitive criterion, like most  refinement techniques, is based on restricting the beliefs off the equilibrium path. The intuitive criterion was presented by In-Koo Cho and David M. Kreps in a 1987 article. Their idea was to try to reduce the set of equilibria by requiring off-equilibrium receiver beliefs to be reasonable in some sense.

Intuitively, we can eliminate a PBE if there is exists a sender type who wants to deviate, assuming that the receiver has a reasonable belief. It is reasonable to believe that the deviating sender is of a type who would benefit from the deviation in at least the best-case scenario. If a type of sender could not benefit from the deviation even if the receiver changed his belief in the best possible way for the sender, then the receiver should reasonably put zero probability on the sender being of that type.
The deviating sender type  could persuasively tell the receiver to interpret his deviating signal  favorably:

I am sending the message . Please re-think your belief. If you switch to a reasonable belief, then you will have to re-think what your optimal response action is. If sending this message so convinces you to change your response action, then, as you can see, it is in my interest to deviate to the signal .

Formally, given any set of types , let  denote the set of actions that are optimal for the receiver given some belief with support in  and given the signal . Let  denote the sender utility as a function of her type , her signal , and the receiver action . Given any PBE with sender strategy  and receiver strategy , the equilibrium payoff of any type  is denoted . The set of types such that deviating to signal  can, in the best case, yield a weakly higher payoff than the equilibrium payoff is

For types outside of this set, the signal  is called equilibrium dominated.

A particular PBE is eliminated by the intuitive criterion if there exists a sender type  and a deviating signal  that guarantees for this type a payoff above their equilibrium payoff as long as the receiver has a reasonable belief, that is, assigns zero probability to the deviation having been made by a type for whom  is equilibrium dominated. Formally,

Criticisms
Other game theorists have criticized the intuitive criterion and suggested alternative refinements such as Universal Divinity.

Example
In the standard Spence signaling game, with two types of senders, a continuum of pooling equilibrium persist under solution concepts such as sequential equilibrium and perfect bayesian equilibrium. But the Cho-Kreps intuitive criterion eliminates all pooling equilibria. In the same game, there is also a continuum of separating equilibria, but the intuitive criterion eliminates all the separating equilibria except for the most efficient one -- the one where low-ability types are exactly indifferent between acquiring the amount of education that high-ability types do and not acquiring any education at all.

A sketch of a typical model shows why (this model is worked out more fully in signalling games). Suppose the abilities of low and high types of worker are 0 and 10, with equal probability, that in equilibrium the employer will pay the worker his expected ability, and that the cost of education  is  for high-ability workers and  for low-ability workers. There would be a continuum of separating equilibria with  and of pooling equilibria with . The intuitive criteria would rule out a separating equilibrium such as  for the high type and  for the low type because the high-ability worker could profitably deviate to, for example, . That is because if the employer still believe the worker is high-ability, his payoff is higher than with , receiving the same salary of 10 but paying less for education, while the low-ability worker does worse even if his deviation persuades employers that he has high ability, because although his wage would rise from 0 to 10, his signal cost would rise from 0 to 2*5.1. Thus, it is reasonable for the employer to believe that only a high-ability worker would ever switch to . This argument applies to all separating equilibria with .

The intuitive criterion also rules out all pooling equilibria. Consider the equilibrium in which both types choose  and receive the expected ability of 5 as their wage. If a worker deviates to  (for example), the intuitive criterion says that employers must believe he is the high type. That is because if they do believe, and he really is the high type, his payoff will rise from 5 - 0 = 5 to 10 - 4 = 6, but if he were the low type, his payoff would fall from 5 - 0 = 5 to 10 - 2*4 = 2. This argument can be applied to any of the pooling equilibria.

The Xinjiang clique was a military faction that ruled Xinjiang during China's warlord era.  Unlike other cliques, its leaders were from outside the province.

History
During the Xinhai Revolution in 1911, the Qing governor fled from Dihua (Ürümqi).  A band of Yunnanese led by Yang Zengxin quelled the rebellion and established himself as the provincial leader.  President Yuan Shikai recognized Yang as governor.  Yang was one of the few who supported Yuan's attempt to become emperor.  During the National Protection War, he purged officers who sympathized with the Yunnan clique's leader Cai E.  After Yuan's death, he recognized whichever government ruled in Beijing and maintained an isolationist and neutrality policy which kept Xinjiang away from the upheavals experienced in the rest of China.

Ma Fuxing and Ma Shaowu, both of them Hui Chinese, were members of the clique. They held military and political positions under Yang.

Yang held absolute power in the region and kept the keys to the radio station on him at all times. He read every message himself and got rid of any which he didn't like.

Yang's future deputy, Fan Yaonan, had been studying in Japan when he was appointed as military attache of Xinjiang by Li Yuanhong. Fan heavily disliked Yang's government policy of keeping the people ignorant and tried to bring in more progressive ideas to the region. Li Yuanhong hoped that Fan would eventually kill Yang and replace him as governor of Xinjiang. Aspiring for higher positions, Fan sped up the process and on July 7, 1928, days after Yang recognized the Nationalist (KMT) government in Nanjing, Fan shot Yang dead during a banquet at the Xinjiang Academy of Politics and Law. Also present at the banquet were Chinese officials along with the Soviet consul-general and his wife. The consul-general and his wife were able to escape.

Following Yang's assassination, Jin Shuren, Yang's second in command, had Fan and his coconspirators killed. After that, he declared himself the provincial governor and was quickly recognized by the KMT. Jin wholly mismanaged the province by causing high inflation, banning the hajj, and replacing local officials with Han officials. In 1931, the alienated Muslim majority rebelled against Jin. Gansu warlord Ma Zhongying of the Hui Ma clique invaded in support of the rebellion.  Soon various other groups rebelled against Jin, often fighting against each other including the breakaway First East Turkestan Republic.

Jin was deposed by mutineers in 1933 and was succeeded by Sheng Shicai.  Sheng was not a protégé of either Yang or Jin.  He was initially an officer under Guo Songling and defected with Guo to the Guominjun.  He was appointed by Nanjing to serve under Jin as late as 1930.  The war continued unabated with Nanjing unable to resolve the conflict.  Frustrated, Sheng turned to the Soviet Union in 1934.  With Soviet support, Ma Hushan was defeated in 1937.  Sheng turned Xinjiang into a Soviet protectorate and safe haven for the Chinese Communist Party.

With Nazi Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, Sheng decided to rejoin the Kuomintang and expelled Soviet advisors and executed communists.  Chiang Kai-shek couldn't trust Sheng, who tried renegotiating with Joseph Stalin, so he deposed him and installed direct rule in 1944.  The new KMT administration then faced a rebellion that formed the Second East Turkestan Republic.

KRQX-FM (98.9 MHz) is an American radio station licensed to serve the community of Hurricane, Utah. The station is owned by G. Craig Hanson, through licensee Redrock Broadcasting, Inc.

The station was assigned the KBZB call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on May 26, 1999. The station began regular broadcast operations in August 1999.

Ownership
From August 1999 to January 2003, KBZB was owned and operated by broadcast engineer and consultant Mark C. Nolte. The station, branded as "98.9 The Buzz," carried a classic rock/oldies music format with a locally produced live morning show.

In February 2003, Gla-Mar Broadcasting LLC (Gregory Merrill, managing member) reached an agreement to purchase KBZB from Mark C. Nolte for a reported sale price of $429,000. At the same time, Gla-Mar entered into a time brokerage agreement to operate the station, pending FCC approval of the sale.

In November 2003, 3 Point Media-Nevada LLC reached an agreement to purchase KBZB from Gla-Mar Broadcasting for a reported sale price of $1.962 million. The principal owners of 3 Point Media-Nevada LLC are Chris Devine and Bruce Buzil. At the time of the announcement, 3 Points Media LLC owned 7 other radio stations but none in the Pioche market. This license transfer was approved by the FCC on January 26, 2004, but as of February 2008 the station is still listed in the FCC database as licensed to Gla-Mar Broadcasting LLC.

On September 29, 2006, the FCC issued a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture against Gla-Mar Broadcasting, LLC, for willful and repeated violations of FCC rules by failing to ensure the operational readiness of KBZB's Emergency Alert System equipment. The commission found Gla-Mar Broadcasting liable for forfeiture in the amount of $8,000.

According to documents filed with the FCC in December 2008, Gla-Mar Broadcasting stipulated that they are in default on a loan agreement with CBL Investmemts, LLC, and asked the FCC to assign the license of KBZB to CBL as partial extinguishment of that debt. CBL Investments, LLC is a part of a complex series of ownership agreements that are all associated with Simmons Media Group of Salt Lake City, Utah. The FCC approved the transfer on March 4, 2009 and the transaction was completed March 9, 2009.

Redrock Broadcasting acquired KRQX-FM from CBL Investments effective April 17, 2015, at a purchase price of $250,000.

On July 12, 2016 KRQX rebranded as "Kool 98.9", with no other changes.

He was the first member of this branch since 707 to hold the Connacht throne which had been dominated by the Uí Briúin since that time. He reigned from 756 to 764.

His sobriquet Medraige implies that he was fostered by this tribe on the eastern shore of Galway Bay. His acquisition of the throne of the Uí Fiachrach branch would have occurred sometime after the death of Airechtach, another grandson of Dúnchad Muirisci, who died around 735.

In 758, he defeated the Uí Briun at the Battle of Druim Robaig (Dromrovay, S.Mayo Co.). As this was fought in the territory of the Fir Chera branch of the Uí Fiachrach, it appears that the Uí Briúin were on the offensive. Three sons of the previous Uí Briúin king Forggus mac Cellaig (died 756) were slain.

His son Cathal mac Aillelo (died 816) was a king of the Uí Fiachrach.
