A biography of Louis Direy, a published poet, grammarian and a bold and radical translator from France. He was born in Lille, France in 1816 and studied French literature at Douai. He was married and migrated to Auckland, New Zealand in 1867 where he taught French at various schools for several years. He was known for his translation of poet William Shakespeare's works and died in 1892.

The article presents a discussion of the musical composition "La Chanson D'Eve," by Gabriel Fauré, which is based on the poetry of Belgian poet Charles Van Lerberghe. A discussion of high regard which the composition is held in by many musical enthusiasts, and of a lack of popularity which the composition which the piece has seen due to its subtlety and unusual style, is presented. The poetry of Van Lerberghe is examined and discussed in terms of its relationship with Fauré's musical compositions.

The article discusses the Panic of 1901, a U.S. financial crisis caused by the struggle for financial control of the Northern Pacific Railroad. The actions of the main antagonists, businessmen J. P. Morgan and James J. Hill on one side, and Edward H. Harriman and Jacob Schiff on the other, are described. Morgan's formation of United States Steel, and then his move into the railroad industry, is discussed, as are Harriman's moves to oppose him. The resulting frantic stock market speculation in shares of Northern Pacific is then discussed.

The article provides ways for singers to recognize the different types of translations needed for various functions and to assists translators to create them. The five functions of translation are performer's crib, recording insert, program text, spoken text and sung text. Strategies on how to approach each function are proposed. Likewise, books and their brief description as reference to be used by singers who are studying foreign-language songs are presented.

Focuses on Gabriel Faure's "Cinq Melodies de Venise" written in 1891 to texts by Paul Verlaine. Claim that many singers commit a significant mistake when they perform this song; Reason for restoring Verlaine's text in "A Clymene"; Occurrence of the conjunction "puisque" as the poet/lover speaks to Clymene of her various charms; Suggestion that "A Clymene" was a text less suitable for musical setting than other Verlaine poems.

Examines the function of the interaction of living nerve terminals with Src homology 3 (SH3). Physiological role of SH3-dynamin interactions; Findings regarding their interactions; Demonstration that SH3-mediated interactions are required for dynamin function; Other implications.

This article discusses the images of Jerusalem as depicted in the frontispiece to the Book of Acts in the San Paolo Bible. This bible is a manuscript produced in Northern France around 870. Part of the manuscript depicts the miracle of Pentecost, an event when the Holy Spirit descended on the apostles in the form of tongues of fire and gave then the power to speak the Word of God in every language of the world. This miracle occurred in a room in Jerusalem that features complicated design of crenellated walls and multiple towers. The room's design indicates that the structure itself is the city of Jerusalem.

The article presents obituaries for several intellectuals including intellectual Neil Carruthers and Ewen Jones.

Evidence for the direct binding of pyruvate kinase to tubulin/microtubule and for the inhibitory effect of phosphoenolpyruvate on tubulin-enzyme hetero-association were provided by surface plasmon resonance and pelleting experiments. Electron microscopy revealed that pyruvate kinase induces depolymerization of paclitaxel-stabilized microtubules into large oligomeric aggregates and bundles the tubules in a salt concentration-dependent manner. The C-terminal "tail"-free microtubules did not bind pyruvate kinase, suggesting the crucial role of the C-terminal segments in the binding of kinase. Immunoblotting and polymerization experiments with cell-free brain extract revealed that pyruvate kinase specifically binds to microtubules, the binding of pyruvate kinase impedes microtubule assembly, and phosphoenolpyruvate counteracts the destabilization of microtubules induced by pyruvate kinase. We also showed by immunostaining the juxtanuclear localization of pyruvate kinase in intact L929 cells and that this localization was influenced by treatments with paclitaxel or vinblastine. These findings suggest that the distribution of the enzyme may be controlled by the microtubular network in vivo.
