GLAM at uOttawa Library Project Description
Welcome to the WikiProject page for the University of Ottawa Library. In 2015, Ebembo organized the first University of Ottawa Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon where participants learned how to create their own Wikipedia account, edit Wikipedia articles, and add content using Open Access resources from the Library's collection. Since then, current|former librarians and professors have offered workshops on Wikipedia and Wikidata.

The current project is to have a stand-alone Wikipedia page about the University of Ottawa Library, add open access resources to citation using OAbot, and create Wikidata items from the Canadian Archive of Women in STEM collection.

Loyola de Palacio

Ignacia de Loyola de Palacio y del Valle Lersundi (16 September 1950 – 13 December 2006) was a Spanish politician. She was among the first women to rise to political prominence in Spain during the early years of reconstituted democracy. She was a minister in the Spanish government from 1996 to 1998 (Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food), and a member of the European Commission from 1999 to 2004.

Early life and education
De Palacio was born in Madrid, into an aristocratic Basque family, the eldest of four sisters and three brothers, the children of Luis María de Palacio y de Palacio, 4th Marqués de Matonte, and his wife Luisa Mariana del Valle Lersundi y del Valle; the family held also the title of marquis of Guaimaro (a place in Cuba, also an Italian surname). Her mother Luisa died of lung cancer when Loyola was 22, and she took charge of the family. She was educated at the Lycée Français in Madrid, and studied law at Complutense University, and also Communications Engineering, a field in which Luis Maria de Palacio, Sr., was a top expert.

Political career
In 1976, Palacio was a founder member of the moderate-wing Alianza Popular (later transformed into the Partido Popular) led initially by Manuel Fraga Iribarne, and she became the first leader of its youth section, Nuevas Generaciones. Her politics were on the "soft", liberal wing of her party. She was elected to represent Segovia in the upper house of the Spanish Parliament (the Senado) in the June 1986 Spanish general election. She joined the national executive of the Partido Popular in 1989, and was elected as a deputy for Segovia in the lower house (the Congreso de los Diputados) in the October 1989 Spanish general election, remaining in the lower house until 1999. She served as minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in José María Aznar's Partido Popular government that accessed to power after the 1996 Spanish general election.

Palacio headed the Partido Popular's list in the June 1999 European elections, and was duly elected to the European Parliament. She also joined the European Commission on 13 September 1999, as commissioner for energy and transport, in the Prodi Commission. She also served as vice-president (jointly with Neil Kinnock), and took charge of relations with the European Parliament. She pushed forward the Galileo positioning system, and new maritime safety regulations following the Prestige oil spill off the coast of Galicia in November 2002.

Life after politics
After leaving the commission on 21 November 2004, Palacio became a director at the banks BNP Paribas and Rothschild Bank, and at the pharmaceutical company Zeltia.

Personal life
Her sister is Ana Palacio.

Palacio was a devout Roman Catholic but denied being connected with the Opus Dei group, remarking that even her name (after that of the founder of the Jesuits, Ignatius Loyola) would make that laughable. She enjoyed sports, including mountaineering but she preferred diving and windsurfing.

Palacio was diagnosed with Stage IV Cancer in 2006, and was treated in Houston and Madrid for five months. She died in Madrid, at the Social Security: '12 de Octubre' University Hospital, in the frame of a malignancy. Following her death a state memorial was made in which all parties, including the left-wing coalition United Left (Formed by Communist party, Humanist party, and others) and PP critics, united to remember her policies to improve EU regulations.

Since 2008, the European Commission has created a European Policy Chair named "Loyola de Palacio" at the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies in the European University Institute in Italy.

Child bereavement

Child bereavement occurs when a child loses someone of importance in their life. There is substantial research regarding grief in adults, but there is less focus in literature about grief among children. Children will experience instances in their life that could involve losing a parent, sibling, or friend through suicide, unintentional injury, homicide, or natural causes. The levels of grief and bereavement differ among children, including uncomplicated and complicated bereavement. Unlike adults, children may experience and express their grief and bereavement through behaviors, and are less likely to outwardly express their emotions. The children who experience bereavement and grief can receive treatment involving group intervention, play therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Different forms of treatment for children experiencing bereavement and or grief can help to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, social adjustment, and posttraumatic stress. Research has shown that it is important to be aware of the difficulties in predicting how losing a closed one can impact a child’s emotionality and how their coping abilities will differ across ages and cultures.

Background
Across cultures the loss of a parent is consistently rated as one of the most difficult experiences that a child will endure. In western countries, 5% of children will experience the loss of a parent. Across the world, the loss of a parent is seen as a significant life event for a child. However, the process of grieving can look different for each child based on their age, the quality of the relationship with the deceased parent, and the characteristics of the death.

An individual’s culture is an important factor that will influence the bereavement process. What one culture believes to be maladaptive, another culture may view as healthy; there is no universally accepted view of the bereavement process

Bereavement
There are two categories of bereavement that children experience after the loss of a parent; complex bereavement and uncomplicated bereavement. Uncomplicated bereavement is the normal process that most children will experience. Complicated bereavement occurs when an individual fails to return to their pre-bereavement emotional and behavioural functioning. The loss of a family member, in addition to complicated bereavement, increases the risk of experiencing a range of negative psychological consequences including depression, post-traumatic stress, higher levels of drug and alcohol use and more self-injury than non-bereaved peers. The risk of dying at a young age is also severely elevated for this group.

The precise definition and duration of the bereavement process has been a source of controversy over the decades. According to the DSM-V, Persistent Complex Bereavement Disorder, requires that the child lost someone that they had a close relationship with; and during a 6 month period the child must experience on more days than not, one of the following symptoms: a yearning for the deceased individual, sorrow or emotional pain for the dead, preoccupation with the death, or preoccupation surrounding the circumstances around the death. Additionally, six more symptoms must be experienced on more days than not that are related to reactive distress to death or social/identity disruption.

Development considerations
Children can be vulnerable to life events following loss. The vulnerability is due to developmental immaturity and the lack of developed coping abilities. It is common to assume children will grieve in a similar fashion to adults, but their symptoms and duration of grief following loss appears differently. This may include children repeatedly asking questions about death for reassurance that nothing has changed and reenacting the death or funeral activities. Additionally, children’s emotions may be expressed differently than adults; adults may express their grief through sadness, but children may misbehave or have outbursts. Research emphasizes the importance of being cognizant of and not to expect children to display their emotions outwardly like adults, but rather that their behaviors could indicate their internal distress. It is important to note that grief reactions in children are varied, wide ranging and unique to each individual.https://theparentvine.com/child-grief.html

Treatment
A large portion of children may experience loss and bereavement at some point during their childhood. After these losses occur, there are a variety of types of treatment techniques that can be implemented, including Play Therapy, Group Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Play therapy for loss during childhood uses activities like drawing or games that aid in having the children talk about their feelings. Another effective form of therapy is Group Therapy tailored for loss during childhood, where a group of peers, similar in age, share and talk about their feelings and the bereavement process with a facilitator leading the group. Lastly, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for loss during childhood includes using cognitive techniques to assist the child in changing their behavior and using more effective coping techniques.

The different forms of treatment aiming to assist children in coping with loss and bereavement also help to reduce their symptoms of anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, and posttraumatic stress. By using empirically driven forms of therapy for children who have experienced loss, children can reduce their symptoms and will be less likely to drop out of treatment by focusing on the feelings and reaction they have to the death or suicide of someone close.

Pointless quote
There's absolutely no point including this rambling, messy quote. It sounds like something he might have said when very tired and disorientated immediately after a long match. (But even so - what does being blond have do do with it???)

After winning his first match on clay for 2006, Tursunov said: "It happened!!! They told me, “Just keep pluggin’ along and you will win a match!!!” and it happened! Of course the kid was 15 but c’mon! I’m blond! We all have our excuses… I don’t care what anyone says. I matched my best clay court season record so from now on it can only get better!"

Andy Rinomhota

Andrew Farai Rinomhota (born 21 April 1997) is a professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Rotherham United, on loan from fellow club Cardiff City. Born in England, he plays for the Zimbabwe national team.

Club career
Rinomhota was born in Leeds, West Yorkshire, to a Zimbabwean father and an English mother. He started his career in the youth team of AFC Portchester before he was promoted to the first team in the Wessex League due to an injury crisis. After impressing for the first team, scoring ten goals in 30 league games, manager Graham Rix contacted Reading to send a scout to watch Rinomhota in action, which subsequently resulted in a two-week trial. In April 2015, he signed for EFL Championship side Reading on an initial two-year contract with the option of a further twelve-month extension. He spent the majority of his first season with the club with under-18 and under-21 sides, moving up to the under-23 side in the 2016–17 season to play for the side in the EFL Trophy, amassing a total of thirty-nine appearances in all competitions. He was promoted to the first team in the summer of 2017 and joined the side on the pre-season tour of the Netherlands. In August 2017, he made his professional debut in the 2–0 EFL Cup win over Gillingham, playing the full ninety minutes. On 8 December 2017, Rinomhota signed a new contract with Reading until the summer of 2021. On 25 February 2019, Rinomhota signed a new three-year contract with Reading, lasting until the summer of 2022. Rinomhota scored his first goal for Reading against top of the table Norwich City on 10 April 2019 in the last minute of added time (90+7') in a 2–2 draw at Carrow Road. After an exceptional debut season, Rinomhota was awarded the 2018–19 player of the season.

On 24 June 2022, it was announced that Rinomhota would join Cardiff on a three-year deal from 1 July 2022.

Rinomhota joined Rotherham United on loan until the end of the season on transfer deadline day, 1 February 2024.

International career
In December 2017, Zimbabwe explored the option of convincing Rinomhota to represent them at international level, which he is qualified to play for through his father. In May 2018, Rinomhota was named in Zimbabwe's provisional squad for the 2018 COSAFA Cup. However, Zimbabwe faced difficulties in getting Rinomhota into their squad, as Zimbabwean law required him to renounce his British citizenship in order to get a local passport.

Tennessee Confederate Women's Monument

The Tennessee Confederate Women's Monument, also known as the Tennessee Monument to the Women of the Confederacy or the Monument to Southern Women in War Times, is a bronze statue on the grounds of the Tennessee State Capitol in Nashville, Tennessee, USA.

The Tennessee Confederate Women’s Monument commemorates the efforts of southern women in the United States Civil War. It depicts a typical southern woman aiding a Confederate soldier. An allegory of Fame places a laurel wreath on top of the woman's head. This monument was erected by the United Confederate Veterans (UCV) on behalf of female ancestors whom they regarded as having embodied Confederate ideals.

In 1909, the UCV proposed placing a women’s monument in every former Confederate state. After much controversy over the design for the monument, the Tennessean sculptor Belle Kinney was commissioned for the project in 1910.

Kinney’s Confederate Women’s Monument was dedicated in Tennessee at a ceremony on October 10, 1926. It is located at the Tennessee State Capitol overlooking the Tennessee Vietnam War Memorial Auditorium. Another version also stands in Mississippi.

Kinney and the Confederacy
Belle Kinney was born in Nashville in 1890. She studied and worked at the Art Institute of Chicago, then resettled in New York. Between 1900-1930, Kinney created her most significant works, including the Confederate Women’s Monument for the states of Tennessee and Mississippi.

The art historian Elise L. Smith argues that Kinney’s Southern roots helped her secure the commission, as did her commitment to Confederate ideals and gender norms. Kinney designed another sculpture for the Tennessee War Memorial Building with her husband Leopold Scholz to commemorate the conclusion of World War One. In various interviews regarding her works for Tennessee, Kinney described war as a “glorified struggle for high ideals.” She later stated that “no ideal in all the world is superior to… the high spiritual ideal the American man feels for the American woman.” Smith quotes writer Blanche Scott Jackson of Holland’s Magazine of the South (1935) to summarize Kinney’s relationship to her Southern ideals. Jackson states that Kinney had “the charm and graciousness of a gentlewoman of the Old South combined with the poise and freedom of the best of the new.” These attributes, Smith argues, made Kinney an appealing candidate to design a monument to the Confederacy.

Motivation to erect a women's monument
In 1881, Jefferson Davis dedicated his book The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government to “The Women of the Confederacy.” His work attempted to reframe the ideals of the Confederate cause, building on the myth of the Lost Cause by introducing the idea of the Southern Gentleman. Historians Cynthia Mills and Pamela H. Simpson describe Davis’s work as a “building block in postwar construction of the Lost Cause narrative.” Mills and Smith describe Confederate Women’s Monuments as a product of this same context, arguing that the monuments were meant to combat “‘false’ history about southern gender relations” as well as “‘false’ northern arguments” that the Civil War was fought over slavery. Mills and Simpson explain how these monuments were political statements that attempted to re-establish the Confederate ideals. They argue that these monuments, under the disguise of commemorating women, diverted attention from the claims made against the Confederacy.

Historian Suzanne Woolley Smith interprets the Tennessee Women's Monument in similar terms, arguing that the work was shaped by Southerners who recalled the Confederacy as “a golden agrarian period peopled by aristocratic planter families and their contented slaves.” Building on the work of the historian Gaines Foster, she describes “the predominance of women in these commemorative activities as a way of de-emphasizing the political significance of the loss, focusing instead on the affective ramifications– steering post-war activities into the feminine realm of sentiment in order to lessen the shock of the defeat.”

UDC opposition to a women's monument
The United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) was founded as an organization for young women to support the Confederacy. When it was first established, the UDC primarily raised awareness of Confederate values, tended to needy veterans, and helped maintain cemeteries. When veterans’ campaigns initially proposed a monument to women in 1909, there was pushback from the UDC. Historian Thomas J. Brown explains that the UDC was suspicious of C. Irvine Walker, who led the planning for the monument. Walker's suggestion of a female sculptor for the project may have been designed to placate the organization, but members of the UDC described his praise of Belle Kinney merely as evidence that he was "susceptible to a winning smile and pleasant manner!’”

One female Confederate protester, quoted by the scholar Elise L. Smith, stated that she favored a “living” monument as opposed to an “insensate stone or pulseless clay.” Such women believed that the money for the monument would be better spent to actually support the women of the Confederacy rather than celebrate them. Some suggested that the money should be used to help support women’s universities, clubs, or orphanages.

In response to the feelings of the UDC, the United Confederate Veterans (UCV) and the Sons of Confederate Veterans defended the idea of a traditional bronze monument. They claimed that they could not raise enough money to follow through with the other suggestions the UDC had provided. Historians Cynthia Mills and Pamela H. Simpson explain how these male, Confederate groups believed that “monuments, if substantially built, would after erection require no further outlaw of money.” Furthermore, the UCV and the Sons of Confederate Veterans claimed that a statue was more sustainable than the UDC's suggestions.

Controversy over the design
The monument was first suggested by Sumner Archibald Cunningham, the editor of Confederate Veteran, in 1894. However, once the design had been drawn, he objected to it, opining that it failed to convey "the divine qualities of southern womanhood."

In 1909, Confederate veteran C. Irvine Walker, a leader of the United Confederate Veterans (UCV), officially proposed that there be a monument in each southern state commemorating the efforts of women in the United States Civil War. The artist was to be paid $25,000. The money to fund the monument would be raised by the UCV and the Sons of Confederate Veterans association.

In 1907, after years of fundraising and a failed competition in which almost one hundred designs were rejected, Walker endorsed sculptor Louis Amateis. Amateis’s design showed a woman in classical dress with one hand holding a Confederate flag and the other confidently gripping a sword. The inscription beneath this proposed women’s monument read: “uphold our state’s rights.” This design was not well received. One critic stated that this “design completely missed the point” of what the UCV had intended. Another critic stated that Amateis’s depiction of a southern woman had “not a line of womanly grace or modesty or tenderness…not a hint of the dear home keeper of the Southland, not a reminder of the patient, self-sacrificing, unwearied helper and comforter of the boys in gray.” As a result, the UCV abandoned Amateis’s design and turned to Kinney. 188-189

Kinney’s design still stands today in Tennessee and Mississippi, but the monument today is not an exact replica of her design that was chosen in 1910. While it cannot be confirmed what prompted the alterations to Kinney's original design, protests against the design likely contributed to the decision. In 1911, Mrs. George H. Tichenor, a United Daughter of the Confederacy from New Orleans, protested against Kinney’s original design in a letter addressed to the presidents of the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC) as well as the chief of staff of the New Orleans chapter of the UCV. Tichenor stated that he was not against the “chivalrous complement of the Confederate Veterans to the Woman of their glorious Past.” Unlike other protestors, Tichenor appreciated the UCV’s proposal to erect a statue commemorating women. His argument was instead against Kinney’s design specifically. Tichenor argued that placing Kinney’s monument in all of the southern states would be “stamping a false conception of our Mothers on the youth of the South.” He disliked the way the monument represented her female, southern ancestors. He argued that the monument did not embody his southern ancestors' courage. Tichenor believed that the monument displayed a false “timid shrinking” and “fearfulness of spirit” that was not representative of southern women. Elise Smith explains how Tichenor’s feelings culminated later that year when he and others protested the design at a UDC convention in Little Rock. 20-22

Alterations to Kinney's Original Design
The designs presented in Mississippi in 1912 and in Tennessee in 1926 were different from the design Kinney initially proposed. Elise Smith describes the modified version as less “utterly passive” and “more strongly active and open” than the original. 20 The young southern woman's head is less “downcast” than the original, making her appear more confident and less submissive. The gazes of Fame and the Confederate soldier were altered to be looking outward instead of down, contributing to the openness of the new design. The figure of Fame was adjusted in the new design so that both of her shoulders are covered by her garment. Smith believes that this slight alteration made the figure more “demure” and “less sensual.” These modifications to Kinney’s design were slight and many protestors still disliked Kinney’s revised design. But, Smith argues, these changes offset protestors' complaints enough so that the UCV could continue to erect the monument.

Presentation Ceremony
The Tennessee monument was erected on Sunday October 10, 1926 on the grounds of the capitol in Nashville. The presentation ceremony was supposed to be held outside, but due to rain, only the actual unveiling of the monument took place outside. Tennessee and Confederate representatives were present at the unveiling. Kinney, who was working in New York on other commissions for the state of Tennessee, did not attend.

Reverend James I. Vance, the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, delivered an introductory prayer.

An article from the Nashville Banner in 1926 quotes Tennessee Governor Austin Peay's speech from the day. Peay spoke on behalf of the 1915 legislature that provided the funds for the monument. Peay explained how the Confederate soldiers “waged no foreign war; his battles were fought around the very doorsteps of the South.” He went on to praise the women who supported their husbands and families during the war in the ways that they could.

Kinney was frequently praised at the event. Governor Peay referred to Kinney as “a brilliant and gifted daughter of the South.” The Nashville Banner described her as “the most outstanding living Tennessee woman” in the field of art.

The state commander of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, J.L. Highsaw of Memphis, Tennessee, also spoke at the monument's presentation ceremony. He claimed that this celebration paid a “fitting tribute to the most stout-hearted and valiant women whom the world has ever known” and not to the women of the lost cause, “for there was no lost cause, as historians and speakers of the past would have you believe.” He expressed his hopes that this monument and others, along with continued Confederate sentiment, would “establish in this Western hemisphere the eternal truth of freedom and local self-government as written by the fathers of that immortal charter of constitutional freedom.”

Description
The casts that formed the bronze monuments in Tennessee and Mississippi were made by Tiffany Studios in New York City in 1917.

Today, the monument still stands on a ten-foot-tall marble base. The sides of the base are carved with four phrases: “Our mothers,” “Our Wives,” “Our Daughters,” and “Our sisters.” The reference to “our mothers” is on the front face of the marble base and “our sisters” is carved on the back. Elise L. Smith explains how the mothers are referenced on the front because the UCV hoped to commemorate them first. Smith wonders if sisters are referenced on the back because they are “the relatives least emotionally connected.”

The plaque for the monument, given by Tennessee’s Historical Commission, reads, “Erected by the State of Tennessee to commemorate the heroic action of the women of Tennessee during the War Between the States. Dedicated October 10, 1926, Belle Kinney Sculptor.”

Symbolism
Thomas Brown states that the commissioners hoped Kinney's sculpture would celebrate the “typical gentle woman” that served the Confederacy during the war. Brown explains how the “typical” Confederate woman would have been “called from the ballroom” to serve the Confederacy with poise and humility. Elise L. Smith further notes that organizers of the monument regarded the "typical" southern woman as "loyal, devoted, innocent, suffering, self-sacrificing, self-forgetful, and unconscious of fame.”

Kinney’s monument depicts an allegory of Fame, a Southern woman, and a Confederate soldier. Fame, the central figure, is clothed in robes meant to evoke ancient Greek culture. She is shown placing a crown of laurel upon the head of the southern woman with her right arm, celebrating the accomplishments of the Confederate woman.

The Confederate woman is shown extending a palm branch to the Confederate soldier to her left. Palm branches reference the Greek goddess of victory who typically bestowed these branches upon olympic athletes who were victorious. The inclusion of this symbol suggests that the cause this soldier died for was worthwhile. Fame’s left arm additionally supports the dying Confederate, reinforcing the idea that this man died honorably.

Smith argues that configuration of the figures contains symbolic significance. The Confederate woman reaching with a palm branch for the dying soldier forms a "V" shape that Smith describes as a emphasizing the physical and social support of the women to the Confederate cause. This V structure suggests “what was seen as women's proper role as supporter and commemorator of man’s actions.”

According to Smith, the mood of this monument is “somber,” as if it mourns the cause it stands for in addition to commemorating it. Smith describes it as a “profoundly moving elegy.” She claims it represents “grace in defeat” and the “women’s power to endure” the hardships of the war. Mills and Simpson similarly explain that while the monument acknowledges the Confederate loss in the war, it uplifts the underlying cause the Confederates fought for. They note that three figures' heads are bowed, the soldier is depicted in a slumped posture, and the flag at his side is partially rolled. Smith observes that the flag in the soldier's hands demonstrates that he is “triumphant even in death.”

Reception
Despite these changes made to Kinney’s original design, the version of the monument erected remained a topic of controversy. According to Smith, critics disliked the monument's youthful depiction of a southern woman. Smith explains how protestors viewed Kinney’s monument as a sexualized representation of their female ancestors. While Kinney’s design had the “youthful beauty and pure, virginal air often described by the men of the South,” the most “praiseworthy” role of Confederate female ancestors, that they wished to immortalize, was the role of the mother.

The Confederate value of motherhood was also reflected in a Nashville Banner article from October 11, 1926. The article quotes from author Virginia Frazer Boyle’s poem which she presented at the dedication ceremony for the monument the previous day. In this poem, Boyle personifies Tennessee, comparing the state to a mother figure with “a Spartan hope” who “wears the scars for the manhood of Tennessee.”

Smith explains how commentators from the time struggled to find this vision of motherhood in Kinney’s design. She writes that the women’s monuments chosen for the remaining states, in the place of Kinney’s, “specifically addressed the issue of motherhood by giving visual expression to the maternal ideal.” Smith suggests that Kinney’s monument might not have been positively received by all the southern states because of its failure to incorporate themes of motherhood.

Thomas Brown states that critics disliked Kinney’s final design because of its “sexually charged portrait of the Confederate woman.” Brown quotes a critic who states: "we do not consider appropriate, the representation of the Southern woman of the Confederacy as a beautiful girl of 20 or 22, appearing in a costume with low neck and short sleeves, and we cannot determine whether expression of exquisite sadness is on account of the soldier or the fact that the only covering for her unquestionably beautifully shapely legs is a misty, gauzy something that would give Comstock the horrors. She is magnificent, but she's not the woman of war." Brown quotes another critic who refers to Kinney’s model of Fame as “amazonian” due to its “large, bold features…massive form” and “brawny neck.”

Legacy
According to Mills and Simpson, the press believed Kinney’s sculpture to be the “largest contract for sculpture ever awarded to a woman” at the time it was erected.

The environment surrounding the monument today has altered its meaning. Woolley Smith explains how the monument has been absorbed into the “sunken garden” of what is now known as the Tennessee Vietnam Veterans Memorial Plaza. Because of its placement next to another war’s memorial, the Tennessee Confederate Women’s Monument is “totally disconnected from its surroundings.” Woolley Smith believes that because the monument is out place within its surroundings, it has “unfortunately lost most of its meaning.” Woolley Smith argues that even the “allegorical symbolism is lost on the modern viewer,” as Greek mythology has become less of common knowledge in our world today.

Croyde
In the James Cracknell article it says that his son was born in 2004, however in the Beverley Turner article their son is down as being born in 2005! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sampeach3 (talk • contribs).

Cycling accident
I have removed comments:

"However as a cycling helmet is not designed for such impacts the it could not possibly have taken the full force of being hit by a truck."

which is true, but not actually supported by the reference and not relevant to the news reports, which say that the helmet hit the road.

"The Cycling Weekly report indicates that his brain injury may have been caused by the helmet. Rotational brain injuries are often caused by crashing when riding with a helmet. {{cite web |title=Cycle helmets and rotational injuries |url=http://www.cyclehelmets.org/1039.html |publisher=British Helmet Research Foundation |date=1 March 2010"

which is synthesis, giving a reference which makes a (suitably cautious) remark on possible rotational injury and taking it to apply in this particular case. Again, the comment may be perfectly true, but it won't do for Wikipedia. Please don't put this back in unless you can find suitable sources.

Brand advertising in Cycling accident section
There is overt reference to a brand of cycling equipment which is unnecessarily repeated several times within the paragraph. This needs to be removed immediately

<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 14:38, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

 * I agree and have updated the article as it was too heavily pushing the sponsorship with a contradictory statement by Cracknell of not having a commercial interest in the gear whilst being promoted as a sponsored athlete by the manufacturer. Besides, a helmet getting split in two might be better forgotten about. Nasnema   Chat  08:40, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

 * I have put the apparent contradiction back -from what I can see it seems fairly interesting - but I quite agree about removing the advertising. Richard Keatinge (talk) 18:44, 5 October 2011 (UTC)

Cycling accident factual update
Nearly four years on, I think it's time to rewrite parts of the cycling-accident section. Sentences such as "He is now back at home with his family" could be updated/replaced for example with the legal outcome of the incident, i.e. the resolution reached between James and the driver, if applicable.

'''OTHERS SAW THE PROBLEM... HE SOUGHT THE SOLUTION '''

The difference between dreamers and innovators is that a dreamer just dreams and does nothing to realize it, while an innovator charts his own path and breathes life into his ideas. That streak of originality is the distinct quality that makes innovator a breed apart from the mere people of this world. Dr. L. Rathaiah, Chairman of Vignan group of institutions, was destined to be different, or should we say, he chose to be different. He was not content with just teaching. He spotted the chinks in the education system of the state and went about changing it to make it more effective, productive and powerful. He successfully altered the education scenario in A.P and brought about a socio-economic revolution of sorts. The education fraternity was so persuaded by the strength of this alternate model that they adopted the new system of imparting education without any reservation. The system initiated by this illustrious educationist, became instrumental in affecting a paradigm shift in the whole education scenario of the state. This novel model had the desired impact of enhancing the employability of the youth and shaping them into successful professionals capable of donning top leadership roles in their chosen field of interest.

''Today the state of A.P is an acknowledged hub for education. It has especially become famous for its technical education. Dr. Rathaiah has indeed set the benchmark in the field of higher education and been the guiding light for many others in the state. Truly, Dr. Lavu. Rathaiah, with his relentless efforts and dedication has changed the educational landscape of the state of Andhra Pradesh.''

introduction about pollution:

''Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change. Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat or light. Pollutants, the components of pollution, can be either foreign substances/energies or naturally occurring contaminants.''

History
''Air pollution has always accompanied civilizations. Pollution started from prehistoric times, when man created the first fires. According to a 1983 article in the journal Science, "soot" found on ceilings of prehistoric caves provides ample evidence of the high levels of pollution that was associated with inadequate ventilation of open fires." Metal forging appears to be a key turning point in the creation of significant air pollution levels outside the home. Core samples of glaciers in Greenland indicate increases in pollution associated with Greek, Roman, and Chinese metal production''

types of pollution:

As stated before, there are different types of pollution, which are either caused by natural events (like forest fires) or by man-made activities (like cars, factories, nuclear wastes, etc.) These are further classified into the following types of pollution:

 * Air Pollution
 * Water Pollution
 * Soil Pollution
 * Noise Pollution

Besides these 4 types of pollution, other types exist such as light pollution, thermal pollution and radioactive pollution. The latter is much rarer than other types, but it is the deadliest

Air Pollution:

Air pollution refers to the release of harmful contaminants (chemicals, toxic gases, particulates, biological molecules, etc.) into the earth’s atmosphere. These contaminants are quite detrimental, and in some cases, pose serious health issues. Some causes that contribute to air pollution are:

 * Burning fossil fuels
 * Mining operations
 * Exhaust gases from industries and factories

The effects of air pollution vary based on pollutant. But generally, the impact of air pollution range from:

 * Increased risk of respiratory illness and cardiovascular problems
 * Increased risk of skin diseases
 * May increase the risk of cancer
 * Global warming
 * Acid rain
 * Ozone depletion
 * Hazards to wildlife

Among the other types of pollution, air pollution is theorized to have a planet-wide implication. Scientists have even speculated an apocalypse-like scenario where air pollution if left unchecked, can bring about an extreme form of global warming called the runaway greenhouse effect. Though this is purely speculative, it is a phenomenon that has already occurred on Venus.

Water Pollution

Water pollution is said to occur when toxic pollutants and particulate matter are introduced into water bodies such as lakes, rivers and seas. These contaminants are generally introduced by human activities like improper sewage treatment and oil spills. However, even natural processes such as eutrophication can cause water pollution.

Other significant causes of water pollution include:

 * Dumping solid wastes in water bodies
 * Disposing untreated industrial sewage into water bodies
 * Human and animal wastes
 * Agricultural runoff containing pesticides and fertilisers

The effects of water pollution are very pronounced in our environment. Furthermore, toxic chemicals can bioaccumulate in living beings, and these chemicals can travel their way up the food chain, ultimately reaching humans.

Among the other types of pollution, water pollution has a more disastrous consequences on humans. For instance, in 1932, a grave case of water pollution incapacitated the inhabitants of an entire city in Japan with neurological diseases and mental illness for many decades. However, the immediate cause not apparent but was eventually attributed to acute mercury poisoning. Methylmercury was dumped into the surrounding bay and had ultimately bioaccumulated inside the fish. The local population then consumed these fish, and this resulted in the manifestation of ill-effects and neurological diseases.

Soil pollution, also called soil contamination, refers to the degradation of land due to the presence of chemicals or other man-made substances in the soil. The xenobiotic substances alter the natural composition of soil and affect it negatively. These can drastically impact life directly or indirectly. For instance, any toxic chemicals present in the soil will get absorbed by the plants. Since plants are producers in an environment, it gets passed up through the food chain. Compared to the other types of pollution, the effects of soil pollution are a little more obscured, but their implications are very noticeable.

Some of the common causes of soil pollution are:

 * Improper industrial waste disposal
 * Oil Spills
 * Acid rain which is caused by air pollution
 * Mining activities
 * Intensive farming and agrochemicals (like fertilisers and pesticides)
 * Industrial accidents

The effects of soil pollution are numerous. Specific wastes, such as radioactive waste become particularly hazardous when they are not well-contained. A well-documented example is a nuclear accident in Chernobyl, which has left an area of 2,600 km2 uninhabitable for several thousand years.

Other effects of soil pollution include:

Noise pollution refers to the excessive amount of noise in the surrounding that disrupts the natural balance. Usually, it is man-made, though certain natural calamities like volcanoes can contribute to noise pollution. In general, any sound which is over 85 decibels is considered to be detrimental. Also, the duration an individual is exposed plays an impact on their health. For perspective, a normal conversation is around 60 decibels, and a jet taking off is around 15o decibels. Consequently, noise pollution is more obvious than the other types of pollution. Noise pollution has several contributors, which include:
 * Loss of soil nutrients, which renders the soil unfit for agriculture
 * Impacts the natural flora and fauna residing in the soil
 * Degrades vegetation due to the increase of salinity of the soil
 * Toxic dust (such as silica dust) can cause respiratory problems or even lung cancer
 * Industry-oriented noises such as heavy machines, mills, factories, etc.
 * Transportation noises from vehicles, aeroplanes, etc.
 * Construction noises
 * Noise from social events (loudspeakers, firecrackers, etc.)
 * Household noises (such as mixers, TV, washing machines, etc.) Noise pollution has now become very common due to dense urbanisation and industrialisation. Noise pollution can bring about adverse effects such as :
 * Hearing loss
 * Tinnitus
 * Sleeping disorders
 * Hypertension (high BP)
 * Communication problems

Cookbook:Fish

| Basic foodstuffs | Seafood

Fish are odorless, nutritious, and tasty.

Fish should never have the so-called "fishy" smell, which actually comes from bacterial decay. It is best to get live fish. The second best choice would be frozen-at-sea fish, often marked FAS. Refrigerated fish are generally a poor choice, especially for timid buyers who are hesitant to demand a chance to smell the fish prior to purchase. Avoid fish with any discolored area. Do not store unfrozen fish for long.

Canned fish are often good, but very different in taste, and selection is limited. Canned salmon and anchovies are particularly high in calcium, because the bones are softened by canning and are eaten with the flesh.

While it is generally unwise to eat any fish raw, wild freshwater fish are particularly likely to carry parasites that can infect humans.

Note: the names of fish vary around the world. Also, many different fish are often sold under the same name if they share roughly the same appearance.

ATP-binding motif

An ATP-binding motif is a 250-residue sequence within an ATP-binding protein’s primary structure. The binding motif is associated with a protein’s structure and/or function. ATP is a molecule of energy, and can be a coenzyme, involved in a number of biological reactions. ATP is proficient at interacting with other molecules through a binding site. The ATP binding site is the environment in which ATP catalytically actives the enzyme and, as a result, is hydrolyzed to ADP. The binding of ATP causes a conformational change to the enzyme it is interacting with.

The genetic and functional similarity of such a motif demonstrates micro-evolution: proteins have co-opted the same binding sequence from other enzymes rather than developing them independently.

ATP binding sites, which may be representative of an ATP binding motif, are present in many proteins which require an input of energy (from ATP), such sites as active membrane transporters, microtubule subunits, flagellum proteins, and various hydrolytic and proteolytic enzymes.

Primary sequence
The short motifs involving ATP-binding are the Walker motifs, Walker A, also known as the P-loop, and Walker B, as well as the C motif and switch motif.

Walker A motif
The Walker site A has a primary amino acid sequence of or. The letter x can represent any amino acid.

Walker B motif
The primary amino acid sequence of the Walker B site is hhhhD, in which h represents any hydrophobic amino acid.

C motif
The C motif, also known as the signature motif, LSGGQ motif, or the linker peptide, has a primary amino acid sequence of LSGGQQ/R/KQR.

Due to the variety of different amino acids that can be used in the primary sequence, of both the Walker site A and B, the non-variant amino acids within the sequence are highly conserved. A mutation of any of these amino acids will affect the binding ATP or interfere with the catalytic activity of the enzyme. The primary amino acid sequence determines the three dimensional structure of each motif.

Structure
All of the ATP binding domains are made up of an estimated 250 residues and two subunits, creating a dimer. These residues are folded into six α-helices and five β-strands.

Walker A motif
Structurally, the Walker A motif consists of an α-helix and is always followed by a glycine-rich loop.

Walker B motif
The Walker B motif is a β-strand. The Walker motifs are connected to each other by a peptide sequence of about 100 residues. Structurally, these connecting residues fold into an α-helical domain.

C motif
Directly following the Walker B motif, is the signature motif.

Switch motif
The switch motif has been found to be located at the end of the β4-strand in ATP-binding proteins.

Function
Each ATP binding motif has a different role to play whether it is directly involved with the binding of ATP or helping with the construction of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter. The ATP molecule binds to the connecting point of each subunit of the dimer, indicating that ATP is in close proximity to both subunits during catalysis. The two binding motifs that ATP directly interacts with is the residues from the Walker A motif, located on one of the subunits, and the residues from the C binding motif, located on the other subunit. The Walker A binding motif has a lysine side chain, which is essential for the binding of ATP. The lysine residue forms hydrogen bonds with the oxygen atoms of two phosphate groups within ATP, therefore creating proximity and orientation of ATP in the binding site.

In order for the Walker A motif to bind to ATP, the ATP molecule must be in the binding site. The signature motif acts as a signal to the Walker A motif, letting the Walker A know when the ATP molecule has bound to the binding site. The signature motif does this by allowing its residues to extend from the subunit they are located into the other subunit where the Walker A motif is. It is necessary that ATP binds to both nucleotide binding domains in order to complete the catalytically active structure.

The Walker B motif contains the amino acid glutamate within the short sequence. Glutamate can be used to perform a nucleophilic attack on the ATP molecule.

Found in the switch binding motif is a histidine residue. The function of the histidine is to influence the reaction catalytically by contacting the residues across the dimer interface, including the Walker A motif and the Walker B motif. It is the histidine residue that forms the tight coupling between the binding of the ATP molecule and the dimer.

Following the hydrolysis of ADP, a conformational change must occur to separate the ATP-binding cassette. This separation is driven by an electrostatic repulsion by the ADP product that is bound the Walker A motif and the inorganic phosphate product is bound to the C motif.
