, is a municipal musical venue located in Nakajima Park, Sapporo, established in 1997, the building is owned by Sapporo City, known for having a huge organ built by Alfred Kern & Fils Manufacture D'Orgues in the main music hall. When Simon Rattle visited with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra in 1998, he described the hall as "the best modern concert hall in the world".

Overview
The building was built on July 4, 1997. Prior to its construction, the nickname for the concert hall "Kitara" had been chosen in March 1995. The nickname is derived from "Kithara", an ancient Greek musical instrument in the zither family, and also the term "Kita", which means "north" in Japanese. The building area covers 8,383,291 m² in total, the number of floors is 3 above ground and 2 underground, and the Hokkaido Engineering Consultants Co.,Ltd is the main builder for the concert hall.

The concert hall is home to the Sapporo Symphony Orchestra, and its regular concert is held in the hall each year. The hall is one of the venues of the Pacific Music Festival (PMF), an event started with the idea of Leonard Bernstein in 1990.

Facilities

The building of the Sapporo Concert Hall houses a large main hall, small chamber music hall, and rehearsal rooms. A restaurant, nursery room, and museum shop are also located in the building.

The arena-style large main hall has a capacity of 28,800 m³, and installs 2,008 seats for audiences. Above the main hall, a huge pipe organ is installed. The organ was manufactured by an organ builder, Alfred Kern & Fils Manufacture D'Orgues based in Strasbourg, France, and annually an exclusive organ player is invited from overseas. Having 4,976 pipes, the pipe organ is modelled after needle leaved trees in Hokkaidō prefecture.

The shoebox style small chamber music hall has seating capacity of 453. The restaurant with terrace is located on the ground floor, and a bar, cafe, are open during the concert. The main concert hall and the small chamber music hall also have seats designed for handicapped audiences.

Niederhagen was a niemiecki  concentration camp on the outskirts of Büren-Wewelsburg which existed from 1941 to 1943 when it was disbanded.

Camp

From May 1939, a small camp, the Wewelsburg satellite camp of Sachsenhausen concentration camp, existed on the site. The inmates were used as slave laborers for the development of Wewelsburg Castle, which – according to Himmler's plans – was to be the "center of the world" after the "Final Victory". The first 100 prisoners came from the Sachsenhausen concentration camp. At first the inmates were housed in a tent at the foot of the hill on which the castle stands, later in huts on the hill opposite Wewelsburg castle(the Kuhkampsberg).

A move to a newly built camp in the Niederhagen suburb of Wewelsburg followed. In September 1941, when the camp became an independent concentration camp under the name Niederhagen concentration camp, 480 prisoners were interned there. From 1941, more and more prisoners from outside Germany were imprisoned in the camp.
The approximately 3,900 prisoners included Jehovah's Witnesses, political prisoners, Sinti and Romani people, Yeniche, homosexuals, Jews, prisoners of war and forced laborers from Poland, the Soviet Union (also prisoners of war), Czechoslovakia, France, the Netherlands and Belgium. Almost a third of them did not survive their imprisonment. The deaths of 1,285 prisoners are recorded. They died of hunger, cold, disease and the consequences of ill-treatment. In 1942, a crematorium was built specifically for the camp. The Gestapo also used the camp as a place for executions. A total of 56 people from Westphalia-Lippe, including women and children, were executed there on the orders of Heinrich Himmler. In the period from 1 September 1941 to 1 May 1943, the camp was an independent concentration camp. Before, it had been a satellite camp first of the Sachsenhausen and then of the Buchenwald concentration camp. From 1943, only 50 people were imprisoned at Niederhagen. Eventually, they were liberated by the U.S. army on 2 April 1945. Today, not much is left of the camp; the former camp kitchen houses the local fire station of the volunteer fire department and some apartments, the gatehouse is now a two-family house, while a residential estate was built over the rest of the former camp.

Camp commanders
During the period as a labor camp the following SS-officers served as Lagerführer:

SS Hauptsturmführer , July 1941 – September 1941
SS Hauptsturmführer Adolf Haas served as commandant of the independent Niederhagen concentration camp from September 1941 until 1943, when the camp was disbanded and he was transferred to Bergen-Belsen.

Singles
 "No One Like You" was released as one of the album's singles. According to Forbes' 40 Most Powerful Celebrities in Africa article, the song has been viewed over 10 million times on YouTube.

ČSD Class E 499.3 electric locomotives were used primarily for passenger trains in Czechoslovakia. Locomotives which passed to České dráhy, rail operator in the Czech Republic are now classified as Class 163, those which passed to ZSSK, rail operator in Slovakia, are also Class 163.

E 499.3 locomotives operate on the 3,000 V DC system and are essentially a DC only version of the ES 499.1.

ČD Class 163.2 and some ZSSK Class 163 locomotives were rebuilt from ČD and ZSSK Class 162. This was caused by lack of fast dual system locomotives as only one Class 362 locomotive was built. This situation solved ČD by switching the bogies between locomotives of ČD Class 363 (same as ŽSR/ZSSK Class 363) and Class 162, ŽSR by switching only the speed-change box and axletrees between Class 363 and Class 162. After that procedure, the locomotives were classified ČD and ŽSR/ZSSK Class 362 and ČD Class 163.2 and ŽSR/ZSSK Class 163.

History
The locomotive was produced in the years 1984-1992 in four series of 20, 40 (2nd and 3rd serie) and 60 engines.

Because it was a slightly modified version of ČSD Class ES 499.1, there weren't any prototypes built. The first series of locomotives were sent to Ústí nad Labem, next two series were sent to Olomouc, Košice and Česká Třebová. Currently, the ČD are units in Česká Třebová, Děčín and Bohumín and ZSSK units in Košice and Žilina.

Modernisation
All 30 locomotives owned by ČD Cargo were rebuilt to class 363.5 (dual voltage) by Škoda. ZSSK announced tender for rebuilding 15 locomotives class 163/162 to class 361, which was won by ŽOS Vrútky. As of January, 2014, 5 locomotives of class 361 (dual voltage, max. speed 140 km/h) and 4 locomotives of class 361.1 (dual voltage, max. speed 160 km/h) were built.

Since 2013, they were used for operation in push-pull sets with driving trailers and they were used mostly operate services in various commuter trains.

Service in other countries

Italy

E.630
Because of the financial problems of ČSD (and then ČD and ŽSR) after the Velvet revolution, Škoda rebuilt 9 pieces of the fourth series and sold them to FNM, Italy. These were classified as FNM Class E.630. In 2010, all E630 locomotives were sold to Czech private operator RegioJet and were rebuilt to class 162.

Disposition

As of 2008-06-19, 38 163s remained in service with ZSSK, 30 with ČD Cargo and 78 with ČD, as at 2008-03-02.

La Horgne () is a commune in the Ardennes department in northern France.

History
During the German Invasion of France there was a battle fought at La Horgne on 15 May 1940. The German 1st Rifle Regiment were advancing as part of Kampfgruppe Krüger when they came up against the French 3rd Spahis Brigade who had fortified the village. The local geography prohibited the use of tanks and artillery to support the infantry attack which failed to break through. The regimental commander, Oberstleutnant Hermann Balck, came forward to lead his men and encourage them. The village fell to the Germans by the afternoon but delayed their advance and inflicted more casualties on the regiment than any other day of the campaign.

Of his opponents, Balch recorded -

USS Glynn (APA-239) was a  that was built for service with the US Navy in World War II on the Victory ship design. She was commissioned shortly after the war and consequently never saw action.

Glynn was named after Glynn County, Georgia. She was launched 25 August 1945 under Maritime Commission contract by the Oregon Shipbuilding Corporation of Portland, Oregon, and acquired and simultaneously commissioned 17 October 1945.

Operational history

Post-World War II
Glynn sailed from San Diego 21 December 1945 on an Operation Magic Carpet voyage to the Philippines and reached Samar on 8 January 1946. After touching Guam and Saipan, she returned to San Pedro, Philippines and sailed thence for battle-scarred Okinawa, arriving 14 April. Underway the next day for the United States, Glynn rode into San Diego Harbor again 30 April at voyage's end.

Two more round trip voyages, both out of San Francisco, brought the busy ship to Kwajalein, Bikini, the Philippines, and Okinawa from 21 May to 28 June 1946, and to Pearl Harbor, returning to the Golden Gate 26 July 1946.

Second commission
Glynn was decommissioned 12 December 1946 remaining in reserve until recommissioned 3 March 1951 at San Francisco. Training exercises off southern California occupied her until she steamed for the Atlantic, reaching Norfolk, Virginia on 25 July 1951. Subsequently, she conducted peacetime training exercises in the Caribbean and Atlantic, exacting duty which included voyages to Greenland, Labrador, Nova Scotia, Caribbean islands, and operations along the whole length of the Eastern seaboard. In addition, she conducted training cruises for Midshipmen.

Final decommission
Following inactivation overhaul at New York Glynn put in at Charleston, South Carolina 8 June 1955 where she was decommissioned 9 September 1955. The ship remained in reserve until transferred to the custody of the Maritime Administration (MARAD) on 3 March 1960 and berthed in the James River National Defense Reserve Fleet and permanently transferred to MARAD on 30 June. On 1 July 1960 Glynn was stricken from the Navy List. On 1 January 1969 the type was administratively redesignated LPA with Glynn being designated LPA-239 for Navy purposes.

Glynn was disposed of by MARAD on 1 August 1983 in trade for the Thomas Nelson (1962), a  C4 type cargo ship, to the Waterman Steamship Corporation and withdrawn from the reserve fleet 16 September 1983.  She was resold to Balbao Desquaces Maritimos, S.A., a scapper in Barcelona.

On the Brink of Paradise (/ transl: On the Ruins of Paradise) is a 1920 German 90-minute film directed by Josef Stein and featuring Carl de Vogt in the title role of Kara Ben Nemsi. Béla Lugosi was thought to have appeared in a supporting uncredited role, but this is disputed.

The film was an adaptation of part of the 1892 Karl May novel Von Bagdad nach Stambul and is now considered to be lost. This film was followed by a sequel Caravan of Death (1920), which went on to adapt the latter part of the same Karl May novel (Bela Lugosi did co-star in the sequel, playing a shiek).

Plot
Kara ben Nemsi and his servant Halef Omar come across a group of Persians headed to Baghdad, led by Prince Hassan Ardžir-Mírza. The Persians are attacked by their enemies, the Kurds. Prince Hassan discovers there is a traitor among his people. Kara ben Nemsi offers to help guard the caravan on its journey to Baghdad.

Sir Henry James "Jack" Tucker (14 March 1903 – 9 January 1986) was the first Government Leader of Bermuda. He is considered—together with Dr. E. F. Gordon (1895–1955)—one of the island's two most important leaders of the 20th century. Tucker first took office on 10 June 1968 and served until 29 December 1971 as a member of the United Bermuda Party (UBP), the political party that he helped found in 1964.

Henry Tucker was born in Bermuda on 14 March 1903, the son of merchant Henry James and Nella Louise (born Trott). He was a direct descendant of the first British settlers in Bermuda, who included Daniel Tucker, an early Bermudian colonial governor in 1616. Bermuda's Trot family descend from famous 17th-century settler Perient Trott (1614–1679), who led the campaign against the Somers Isles Company that would lead to its dissolution in 1684.

Tucker was educated at Whitney Institute and at Saltus Grammar School in Hamilton, before being sent at the age of 17, in 1920, to boarding school in England, where he attended Sherborne School in Dorset. Lacking the means to pursue university studies, he returned to Bermuda in 1922 to find work.

Tucker moved to New York City, where from 1924 until 1934 he worked for several banks and stock brokerages. Returning to Bermuda, he became an employee of the Bank of Bermuda. He was promoted to general manager in 1938. On his retirement in 1969 he was elected Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Bank of Bermuda, and would serve in this capacity until 1985.

Politics
In 1938 Tucker was elected to Parliament as a representative in Paget.
Tucker was elected to the Bermuda House of Assembly in the 1950s. He helped found the United Bermuda Party in 1964, after spending almost 20 years in the Assembly. He immediately became the UBP's leader. Tucker became Bermuda's first Premier in 1968, after the island's first election with universal suffrage.

Tucker resigned from office in 1971, citing his advancing age. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1972.

Famous quote:

Death
Sir Henry Tucker died in Bermuda on 9 January 1986 at the age of 82. He is survived by two of his children, Robert Newbold Tucker, who currently lives in Bermuda, and daughter Judy Denney, who currently lives in Texas. His granddaughter, actress Joanne Tucker, is married to actor Adam Driver.

Legacy
On Bermuda's National Heroes Day in June 2011, Sir Henry Tucker was honoured as one of the architects of modern Bermuda.
The Bank of Bermuda Foundation offers "Sir Henry Tucker University Scholarship and Education Grants" to help ensure the future of the island's youth.

Margut () is a commune in the Ardennes department in northern France.

Geography

Access
Margut is a small village of 860 inhabitants located in the canton of Carignan, in the eastern part of the department of Ardennes. Administratively attached to the Grand Est, the town is under the influence of the cultural regions Lorraine (the department of Meuse) and Gaume (southeastern Belgium), as it is less than five miles from the Belgian border of Belgium as the crow flies.

Hydrography
Margut lies at the confluence of the Carité, a stream that has its source in Signy-Montlibert and the Marche, a river that flows in Belgium, near Orval. The river, which hosts trout and grayling, flows into the Chiers, a tributary of the Meuse, between Margut and La Ferté-sur-Chiers.

Economy
The chief town of the district until the early nineteenth century, Margut retains a village-center role since its school system (nursery and primary) welcomes students from fifteen surrounding communities. But its influence has been diminishing in recent years. The town has been hard hit by the departure of public services, the college which opened in the mid 60s was permanently closed in June 2004, and more recently, the Post Office has seen its schedule cut by half. In economic terms, Margut was known for its rich industry during the twentieth century. But again, the town saw its factories close. Lactalis corporation (formerly Besnier) has been employing up to a hundred people but was closed in 2002. In 2009, the agricultural credit was removed, despite a mobilization of local elected officials and the public. Today, there are only two factories operating; Tagar, specializing in metallurgy and Nouyrigat, a sawmill.

History

Origins of Margut
According to the abbot Hamon who created a monograph on Margut in 1876, the origin of Margut is relatively difficult to define. We know that the Stylite monk Saint Walfroy came to evangelize the region in the sixth century, but no information exists as to exactly when the village of Margut was created. The oldest part of the town is undoubtedly the place called Champel, located at the foot of the hill of Saint-Walfroy. In 812, Champel was given by Charlemagne and his niece Moniane to the Abbey of Saint-Remi of Reims. This is one of the oldest written records on the area of Margut. The village itself, then called Margurium, appeared for the first time in the ninth century, in a charter written by Hillin, Archbishop of Trier. The latter, in his writings describes the invasions of the Normans in the ninth century, and mentions the "villa sancto Wolfaïco" (St. Walfroy) and Margurio (Margut), a small village on the banks of the march.

Middle Ages Margut
The main event marking the historic medieval period of Margut is the signature of the peace, in 980, between Emperor Otto II (955-December 7, 983) and King Lothair of France. In the summer of 978, Lothaire led a raid against Aachen, but the imperial family escaped. Otto in retaliation invaded northern France in the autumn and besieged Paris, defended by Hugh Capet. After three days the Emperor retreated pursued by the French. He lost his rearguard during the crossing of the Aisne river. It was not until 980 that peace was signed in Margut, which was then located at the border between the two kingdoms, ending the Franco-German war of 978–980.

Another event mentioned by abbot Hamon in his monograph, was the donation by the Count of Chiny to the monastery of Orval in 1173. This involved the donation of pre Carité, Caritas, located on the banks of Margut. In the 1340s the village was sold to the Count of Luxembourg, Jean the Blind. Margut then follows the history of the county of Luxembourg until its attachment to the Kingdom of France with the Treaty of the Pyrenees in 1659. In 1443, the conquest of Luxembourg by Philip the Good ended. Margut became part of a group that became known as the Burgundian Netherlands. In 1477, the granddaughter of Philip the Good of Burgundy, Marguerite married Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor and her dowry, in addition to the Franche-Comté, was the Burgundian Netherlands.

Sixteenth through eighteenth centuries
Throughout the sixteenth century, the village had to suffer various conflicts that had bloodied the region, including wars between the Empire and the Kingdom of France and the Wars of Religion. In 1623, then in the midst of the Thirty Years' War, Margut was plundered by the troops of Ernst von Mansfeld, then in 1635 by the mercenaries commanded by Johann von Werth. They were known for their extreme cruelty and left a terrible memory. Meyrac in his Géographie illustrée des Ardennes tells us that the inhabitants of Margut "were forced to flee after being hunted like wild beasts." With the Treaty of the Pyrenees in 1659, Margut finally became French. In 1662, Margut is erected to Duchy-Peerage by Louis XIV of France in favor of Eugene Maurice, Count of Soissons. Throughout the eighteenth century, the inhabitants of Margut came into conflict with several neighboring towns (La Ferte, Fromy, Signy-Montlibert ...) and even against the monks of Orval. In 1793, the detachment of soldiers who burned the monastery of Orval, formerly the owner of extensive lands and properties in the area was Margut.

After the Revolution Margut

The local politics since 1985
At the death of Henry Vin, former mayor and deputy general counsel (1977 to 1978), 1985, voters went to the polls to appoint a new councilor. It was Claude Varoquaux who was elected. As to the appointment of the mayor and deputy it was Serge Claisse, former first deputy of Henri Wine, who was elected mayor until the end of the term, that is to say 1989. At the cantonal level, Michel Marchet, succeeded to the position of General Counsel.

In 1989, three separate lists were presented to the voters: the incumbent mayor, Serge Claisse, another led by Joseph Pluta, outgoing councilor, and the last, which included only nine candidates, by Yves Surmonne. After a stormy election campaign it was the list led by Joseph Pluta, principal of the college, which carried the majority; the list of Serge Claisse getting only four out of fifteen elected councilors. Fifteen councilors elected were: Joseph Pluta, Pierre Totot, Raymonde Carbognin, Romain Oleniez, Claude Varoquaux, Pierre Debouw, Jean-Marie Leroy, Jean-Jacques Bernard, Patrick Nouyrigat, Robert Dieu, Daniel Fontaine, Serge Claisse, Jean Beneux,  Pierre Provost and Jean-Claude Michotte.

In 1995, two lists are presented to the electorate, that of the outgoing majority led by Joseph Pluta, and a list of opposition led by Serge Claisse. One round was enough to designate the new city council since the list of Joseph Pluta prevailed with fifteen seats. Joseph Pluta was logically re-elected mayor, Pierre Totot,  Assistant, Raymonde Carbognin 2nd Assistant, Romain Oleniez 3rd Deputy, and Pierre Debouw, 4th Assistant. Other councilors elected were: Patrick Pfeiffer, Patrick Nouyrigat, Daniel Fontaine, François Dumont, Agnes Hardy, Jean-Jacques Bernard, Jean-Marie Leroy, Hiblot Bernard, Claude Varoquaux and Robert Dieu.

In 2001, four lists were presented to the voters, the incumbent mayor, Joseph Pluta, another led by Serge Claisse, honorary mayor, the third line by Claude Varoquaux and Daniel Fontaine, outgoing councilors, and the last, led by Pierre Watrin and Fabien Surmonne. After the first round, only Joseph Pluta was elected. This left fourteen seats in the second round on March 18. The list is led by Joseph Pluta won four seats, one led by Claude Varoquaux (which had merged with that of Peter Watrin), ten seats. This is Claude Varoquaux, who was elected mayor, Corinne Gallerne 1st Assistant, Pierre Watrin, 2nd assistant, Daniel Fontaine, 3rd assistant, and Pierre Debouw, 4th Assistant. Other elected councilors: Fabien Surmonne, Véronique Michotte, Olivier Marteau, Robert Guillaume, Yohann Berthélémy, Nathalie Lhussiez, Daniel Bohant, Evelyne Louppe, Pierre Totot and Joseph Pluta.

In March 2008, a new four lists that appear in municipal elections. One led by the mayor, Claude Varoquaux with eight candidates, another led by First Deputy, Corinne Gallerne including fifteen members, including six councilors outgoing one led by Joseph Pluta also includes fifteen candidates whose outgoing six councilors, and last open list, initiated by Serge Claisse. No candidate will be elected at the first round of March 9. In the second round on March 16, only two lists presented to the votes of the electors, those of Joseph Pluta and Corinne Gallerne, Serge Claisse has joined the list Gallerne between the two rounds. In the end, this is the list led by Joseph Pluta that has emerged carrying fourteen of the fifteen seats put in. Only Véronique Michotte was elected on the side of the list Gallerne. Here is the list of fifteen councilors elected: Joseph Pluta (mayor), Pierre Totot (first assistant), Pierre Debouw (second assistant director), Daniel Bohant (third assistant), Evelyne Louppe (fourth assistant), Jocelyne Collard, Yohan Berthélémy, Jean-Philippe Husson, Jean-Michel Renard, Bernard Hiblot, Maryline Feck, Sébastien Prévot, Ludovic Gerard, Pascal Thiery and Veronique Michotte.

Places and monuments

 Hermitage in St. Walfroy founded by Walfroy Stylites the sixth century. It is a place of pilgrimage for Catholics. It is reached by a path consisting of fourteen stations of the cross. At the summit, 1,148 feet above sea level, one discovers a remarkable view of the pays d'Yvois.

The history of this site was hectic since its creation by St. Walfroy. After the death of the Stylite, other hermits continued his work. In 1237, the chapel was entrusted to the Abbey of Orval. In 1855, Thomas-Marie-Joseph Gousset, then Archbishop of Reims, bought the property, thanks to the generosity of the Diocese of Reims and neighboring dioceses, Namur and Verdun. He entrusted the house to the Abbot Rondeau, encouraged by Jean-Marie Vianney, who he met during a visit to Ars. In 1868, the Vincentians made a house hermitage retreat.

In 1874 was built the Stations of the cross (restored in 1989) and then in 1880 the Chapel of Our Lady of Prompt Succour, (always located on the Plateau). 1906 saw the arrival of the canons of Bihéry et Couvert, diocesan missionaries. In 1920, they rebuild the buildings burned in 1916. In 1949, Canon Couvert rebuilt the chapel that was destroyed in 1940, he is the chaplain. In 1958, the Oblates of Mary Immaculate ensure the pilgrimage and service of neighboring parishes until 1980. In 1989, The Brothers of the Auxiliary Clergy arrive, and were installed Sept. 10 by Bishop Balland. In 2002, the Brothers of the Auxiliary Clergy left St. Walfroy. Since that date, the management has changed and the hermitage buildings have been renovated and adapted. The site has increased its hospitality vocation for groups (pension sessions for pilgrimage or spiritual stop individual home). The Hermitage now has 70 beds, 41 rooms, 21 with integrated health facilities and ten rooms for those with disabilities.
 Church of St. Walfroy. The church was rebuilt in 1957 (architect M. Poirier), while incorporating the apse of the old church. Its exterior shape reminds the pilgrim of a shelter-tent. The interior pillars and frames evoke the Ardennes forest. Above the door, a large canopy of Gaudin: it symbolizes the struggle between good and evil, of the faith against 'Idol Arduina, Marais' highest Church in the storm. It contains the tombstone of Canon Couvert. A broken slab is all that remains of the location of the tomb of St Walfroy, destroyed by war and lost.

Stan Ioan Pătraș (1908–1977) was a Romanian wood sculptor, the creator of the tombstones in the Merry Cemetery in Săpânța, Maramureș County.

His creations fit harmoniously within the local popular arts and in the old Romanian tradition.

Biography

Stan Ioan Pătraș was born in 1908 in Săpânța commune, Maramureș County (then in Austria-Hungary) in a family that had a long tradition in wood sculpting. Even from his youth he was attracted to sculpture, painting and poetry and at the age of 14 he started to sculpt oak crosses.

In 1935 Stan Ioan Pătraș, then an anonymous sculptor, started to carve onto the tombstones small poems written in the first person: ironic poems, with grammatical errors very close to the archaic language the locals spoke. At the beginning he carved only 10 tombstones a year using oak as the base wood.

By 1936 he had already perfected his style: the tombstones became narrower, he started to paint relief figures on them using bright colours obtained from natural pigments. The main colour he used was blue, a special blue named by experts Săpânța blue. The other colours were also symbolic in their unique way: Green - life, Yellow - fertility, Red - passion, Black - death.

Until 1977, Pătraș made almost 700 tombstones in the two graveyards in Săpânța, later known as the Merry Cemetery.

He died in 1977, leaving his house to a disciple, Dumitru Pop, who chose to live in his master's house, and later turned it into a workshop and a museum.

American Pharmed Labs, renamed to EpiCept) and its Chairman & CEO for several years. Member of various scientific associations in the areas of pharmacology, endocrinology, biological chemistry.

Inventions and medical developments
These include biomedical information systems and a number of new transdermal therapies, e.g. transdermal hormonal contraception (1988),  including its first time clinical proof (together with L. Wildt, University of Erlangen). Bioinformatics conception of a "transdermal therapy of neuromuscular pain" with sodium channel blockers (1993/94), including  the first clinical proof of effectiveness in back pain and postoperative pain (1995) and first market product of its kind in the USA. Another US product (Lidoderm) that is based on the same conception is approved for postherpetic pain. Transdermal beta-blockers, including the first time clinical proof in hypertension (with W. Vetter, University of Zurich, H. Vetter, University of Bonn, W. Zidek, University of Münster (1987) and in Angina pectoris (with J. Bonelli, F. Gazo, University of Vienna (1988). Some technical basics and an actualized synopsis of these new findings have been published in a special volume of 'Drug Research' (1989). Transdermal insulin patch  as an alternative to insulin injection, with a first time proof in preclinical  studies (with K. Suwelack, K. Karzel, University of Bonn (1990)  and in type II diabetics (with M. Sorger, H. Vetter, University of Bonn (1990). Antidepressive effect of oxytocin. This has been predicted with a new  biocybernetics model (1998/99), hereafter these effects were also experimentally confirmed (with I. Neumann, University of Regensburg, R. Landgraf, Max-Planck-Institute, M. Ludwig, University of Edinburgh (2000); A model of a pathogenetic cell mechanism in arteriosclerosis (2006). Current Developments. "Intelligent" medical information systems;  a new general theory on pain - though this was in the controversial and non-peer reviewed journal Medical Hypotheses. Arterial Vascular Effects of Non-steroidal Antiphlogistic Drugs – A Biochemical Model on an Intramural Induction of Arteriosclerosis (2008).

Author and writer
Scientific publications, medical specialist books, medical information for patients, more than 100 international patent applications (focus: drug therapy, information technology). Books: i.a. 'Introduction in drug therapy' (in German; with K. Karzel, University of Bonn), 'Dictionary of clinical pharmacology' (in German; Editor), Drugs – a translator for patients, 'Pharmacology and clinical use of ACE inhibitors' (with F. Gross, University of Heidelberg), 'Relative Intelligence'.  Scripts and articles on related areas (e.g. general pharmacology, biological intelligence, artificial intelligence), critical statements on new biological developments (e.g. genomics, gene food), partly also in an own medical blog.

The columella (meaning "little column") or (in older texts) pillar is a central anatomical feature of a coiled snail shell, a gastropod shell. The columella is often only clearly visible as a structure when the shell is broken, sliced in half vertically, or viewed as an X-ray image.

The columella runs from the apex of the shell to the midpoint of the undersurface of the shell, or the tip of the siphonal canal in those shells which have a siphonal canal. If a snail shell is visualized as a cone of shelly material which is wrapped around a central axis, then the columella more or less coincides spatially with the central axis of the shell. In the case of shells that have an umbilicus, the columella is a hollow structure.

The columella of some groups of gastropod shells can have a number of plications or folds (the columellar fold, plaits or plicae), which are usually visible when looking to the inner lip into the aperture of the shell. These folds can be wide or narrow, prominent or subtle. These features of the columella are often useful in identifying the family, genus, or species of the gastropod.

The surface of the columella is called the columellar wall. The columellar callus is a smooth, calcareous thickening, secreted by the mantle, extending over the columellar area. The columellar lip, the visible part of the columella, is the lower part of the inner lip and is situated near the axis of coiling. A columellar tooth is a raised projection on the inner lip of a columella in the direction of the aperture.

Columellar muscles
The soft parts of the body of the gastropod are held in place in the shell by the columellar muscles. These muscles are attached strongly to the columella itself not just far up in the apex of the shell but also by a long and narrow attachment over the length of a full whorl along the columella.
The columellar muscle passes underneath the mantle, greatly thickening the body wall, through the foot and is attached at its other end to inner face of the operculum (if present).

The columellar muscles are contracted when the animal needs to withdraw the foot, head, and other soft parts into the shell for protection from drying out, and from predators. During these contractions the operculum and shell are approximated, and the animal is withdrawn within the latter. The columellar muscles are equally used to bring the soft body out of the shell. During protraction and retraction, the muscle twists, shortens or elongates.

In very large gastropods such as the queen conch (Aliger gigas) once the columellar muscles are cut with a knife, the soft parts of the animal fall out of the shell easily. Conch fishermen in the Caribbean Sea break a small hole in the spire of the shell, cut the columellar muscles, and harvest the live meat of this species. Often the fishermen dump the empty shell back into the sea again.

Poix-Terron () is a commune located in the department of Ardennes, in the Grand Est (lit. "Great East") region of France.

Geography
Two villages belong to the commune: Poix, and the churchless Terron-les-Poix. Poix became Poix-Terron in 1897. Poix is located on the N51, 18 km from Charleville-Mézières, and 28 km from Rethel. Terron is located 1.5 km from Poix on the D27.

The railway station in Poix-Terron is on the Soissons–Givet railway between Reims and Charleville-Mézières. The station was reopened on 1 October 2011.

History
The town has suffered during religious wars: there was a fire in the village and castle in 1641, and a siege of the church on 8 July 1651. King Louis XIV passed through on 25 June and 7 August 1654.

On 30 August 1870, during the Franco-German war, the Affaire de Poix (The Poix Case, lit. "Poix Affair") occurred, involving the 42nd infantry regiment.

On 14 May 1940, a breach, 8 km in length, occurred between Poix-Terron and Baâlons in the French line of defence. A battalion of Spahis attempted to close the breach and held against the Germans in the battle of the Horgne.
