The Ry?ky? Brown Frog or Okinawa Frog is an undescribed species in the true frog family (Ranidae). It is endemic to the Ry?ky? Islands Japan, specifically Okinawa and perhaps neighboring islands.
Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, rivers, and freshwater marshes. It is threatened by habitat loss.

Taxonomy
This frog has a convoluted taxonomic history; despite being known since the early 20th century, it has recently turned out to be undescribed. In 1895, Oskar Boettger described a middle-sized brownish frog species from the Ry?ky? Islands as Rana okinavana. It was noted that the type locality was undetermined - perhaps Okinawa, but the specimens were part of a shipment from an animal dealer, not supplied from the person who originally collected them. Some time later, it was mentioned in passing that mid-sized brown frogs were definitely found on Okinawa. However, collectors seeking out the frog described by Boettger there could not find it; they instead encountered that animal on some of the Yaeyama Islands in the southern Ry?ky? Islands.
Others believed that the brown frog of the Ry?ky?s occurred only on Okinawa, and that this consequently must be Boettger’s R. okinavana. When World War II interrupted further research, Boettger’s taxon was firmly associated with the Okinawan brown frogs, though nobody ever had bothered to travel to the Senckenberg Museum or the Übersee-Museum in Germany to directly compare the type specimens with frogs from Okinawa.
By the mid-20th century, it was recognized that on both Okinawa and the Yaeyama group brown frogs could be found, and R. okinavana was applied to them, without comparing actual specimens. By the 1970s, it was realized that the Okinawan frogs were not found on the Yaeyama Islands, but only a superficially similar but stouter frog with a distinctive suprabrachial gland and a fold of skin running from the shoulders to the hips. The Yaeyama frogs were at first identified as R. adenopleura and eventually described as a new species, Rana psaltes, in 1985.
In 1999, upon examination of the lectotype of Boettger’s R. okinavana, it was realized that this animal was very similar to R. psaltes, differing from the Okinawan brown frogs just as the recently-described Yaeyama frogs did. It furthermore turned out that Boettger’s brown frog specimens were included in the same batch from the same collector as his specimens of Chirixalus eiffingeri. These specimens must have been collected on the Yaeyama Islands, as the species certainly does not occur on Okinawa. And thus, the frogs formerly known as R. psaltes - which had also been found on Taiwan in the meantime - turned out to be the same species that Boettger had described, and hence according to ICZN rules, it is now known as R. okinavana.
This leaves the Okinawa Frog without a scientific name, though it is expected to be described soon.

History
Introduction to the Team
She was first seen in episode 2 of Series 6, brought in as a regular female lead character to replace Ruth. Her back story is that she began working for MI5 as a secretary when she was 19 and is an old colleague of Harry Pearce. She has now retired from MI5 and living as the caretaker of a secret former nuclear bunker with biological/chemical weapons testing pods, whom Harry visits in order to use these pods. She is instrumental in assisting the Team using her technical skills and tradecraft.
Betrayal and Departure
In the seventh episode of series seven, Connie is revealed to be a double agent working for the Russians. She attempts to frame Harry Pearce and kills Ben Kaplan using the underwiring of her bra to slice his throat and is arrested, trying to escape, by Ros.
She is later snatched during a section D “black op” when the team hear that a large scale terror operation, codenamed “Tiresias”, is being run by the Russians to launch a nuclear assault on London using portable devices. Harry Pearce and the team promise that if she helps them she can leave the country and disappear for good.
After Ros and Lucas manage to get her across London using underground tunnels, Connie demands that the bomb is brought to her; she removes the radioisotopes, preventing a nuclear explosion but the conventional detonator explodes in her face, killing her instantly.

Soldier in the Rain (1963) is a comedy-drama film about the friendship between an aging Army Master Sergeant (Jackie Gleason) and a young country bumpkin buck sergeant (Steve McQueen). Tuesday Weld also stars.
Produced and co-written by Blake Edwards, the screenplay is based on a 1960 novel by William Goldman who was in the US Army from 1952-1954. The film was directed by Ralph Nelson, who had directed Gleason in Requiem for a Heavyweight the previous year and had a major success with his Lilies of the Field. The film was released the same week of John F. Kennedy’s assassination that didn’t help its box office receipts.
Plot summary
Eustis Clay is a peacetime soldier who can’t wait to finish his service and move on to bigger, better things. He is a personal favorite of Master Sergeant Maxwell Slaughter, a military lifer who is considerably brighter than Eustis but enjoys his company and loyalty.
Eustis is involved in a number of schemes and scams, including one in which he will sell tickets to see an equally dim private named Meltzer run a three-minute mile. He inconveniences Slaughter more than once, including a traffic mishap that requires him being bailed out of jail.
Determined to tempt Slaughter with the joys of civilian life before his hitch is up, Eustis fixes him up on a date with the much-younger, not too bright Bobbi Jo Pepperdine. At first Slaughter is offended but gradually he sees another side to Bobbi Jo, including a mutual fondness for crossword puzzles. Eustis and Slaughter golf together and begin to enjoy the good life.
One night, Eustis is devastated to learn of the death of Donald, his dog. A pair of hated rivals lure Eustis into a barroom brawl. He is beaten two-against-one and is nearly defeated when Slaughter angrily comes to his rescue. Together they win the fight, but the middle-aged, overweight Slaughter collapses from the effort.
Hospitalized, he delights Eustis by suggesting that they leave the Army together and go live on a tropical isle, surrounded by blue seas and beautiful girls. Slaughter dies, however, and Eustis, a changed man, re-enlists in the Army for another hitch.

College
2005-06
Devendorf was named to the Big East All-Rookie team his freshman year after averaging 12.1 points and 2.3 assists per game. Devendorf joined the starting lineup six games into the season, and hit a key layup against Georgetown in the Big East Tournament to send Syracuse to the Big East Championship.
2006-07
Devendorf was named MVP of the BCA Invitational after averaging 16.0 points a game during the three contests. During the regular season, Devendorf had strong showings against Marquette (20 points), St. Johns (23), DePaul (27) and Villanova (33). The sophomore saved his best showing for the postseason, as he scored a career high 34 points against South Alabama in the National Invitation Tournament. Devendorf finished the season averaging 14.8 points and 4.1 assists as a sophomore and was named to the All Big East Honorable Mention team.
2007-08
Devendorf was leading Syracuse in scoring 10 games into his junior season averaging 17.0 points and 3.9 assists per game. However, he would be sidelined the rest of the season after tearing his ACL against East Tennessee State. Devendorf was granted a hardship waiver during the 2007-08 season after missing 25 games, which meant that for the 2008-09 season, although classified as a senior academically, he would remain a junior in athletic eligibility.
2008-09
Devendorf returned to the Syracuse lineup with a 14-point effort against Le Moyne and 22 points against Oakland. However, on December 10, 2008, Devendorf was suspended indefinitely, pending appeal, from Syracuse University. The suspension is the result of a university judicial board hearing stemming from an incident involving Devendorf and a female student. Devendorf was accused of striking the female student in the face during an altercation in the early morning hours of November 1. The board found that Devendorf had violated three out of the five student codes he was accused of violating. Furthermore, Devendorf was already on disciplinary probation as the result of harming a student during the spring 2008 semester. The university judicial board recommended he be suspended for the remainder of the academic year, which his coach Jim Boeheim thought was too severe. Devendorf, as expected, appealed.
The Appeals board rendered its decision effective on December 19, 2008, upon which Devendorf was suspended. Upon his completion of 40 hours of community service, he would be allowed to rejoin the university and the basketball team. After completing his 40 hours of community service, Devendorf was reinstated by the University on December 27.
Devendorf declared himself eligible for the 2009 NBA Draft early with one year of NCAA eligibility remaining but was not drafted.
Professional Career
On December 26, 2009, Devendorf signed with the Reno Bighorns of the NBDL. In his debut, Devendorf played 14:33 and scored two points on 1-of-3 shooting as the Bighorns defeated the Tulsa 66ers 102-87. On January 6, 2010, Devendorf was waived by the Bighorns.
On February 8, 2010, Devendorf signed with the Waikato Pistons of the New Zealand National Basketball League. He scored 49 points in his season debut.

* Senior club appearances and goals counted for the domestic league only and correct as of 12:42, 24/12/2009 (UTC).
† Appearances (Goals).
‡ National team caps and goals correct as of 24 January 2010
Salomon Kalou (born August 5, 1985 in Oumé, Côte d’Ivoire) is an Ivorian football player, who currently plays for Chelsea and formerly for the Dutch club Feyenoord.
He is a striker, often used on the wings at Chelsea. He has a preference for playing on the left wing as this gives him opportunities to cut inside and take shots with his favoured right foot.
Like his older brother, Kalou began his career in local club Mimosas before playing his trade in Europe. Auxerre coach Guy Roux wanted to sign him to unite him with his brother, former Feyenoord player, Bonaventure Kalou. However, Kalou signed for Excelsior Rotterdam, Feyenoord Rotterdam’s “satellite club”.
Kalou scored 15 goals in 11 appearances for Excelsior in 2002–2003. He was ‘promoted’ to Feyenoord and played in the Dutch top flight for three seasons from 2003 to 2006. During his time at Feyenoord, Salomon scored 35 goals in 67 league appearances for the Rotterdam club, and also won an individual award when he won the Johan Cruijff Award in 2005 for being the most promising young talent of that season.
Failure to acquire Dutch citizenship
Kalou received much media attentionregarding his possible naturalization as a Dutch citizen which, if granted, would allow him to play for the Netherlands national football team. Having never played for the Côte d’Ivoire team, he would be eligible for the Dutch team if he was naturalized. His brother Bonaventure had advised him to pursue foreign citizenship after experiencing regular problems with the Côte d’Ivoire football authorities.
The Dutch national team head coach, Marco van Basten, regards Kalou as a great talent, so an official application was quickly made. However the Minister of Immigration Rita Verdonk was opposed to considering Kalou for an accelerated naturalization process.
Van Basten, keen to show Kalou’s worth to the Dutch team, obtained support from influential football figures, including Dutch legend Johan Cruyff. Despite general agreement among football pundits that Kalou would be valuable for the Dutch team, Verdonk rejected a request for reconsideration. Later Cruyff commented that the Dutch national team might have been more successful had Kalou obtained Dutch citizenship.
Kalou appealed the decision and took the matter to a court of law, gaining a victory on December 9, 2005 when the judge ordered Verdonk to reconsider whether or not Kalou could be considered for accelerated naturalization. Verdonk has decided to appeal, placing the matter before the Council of State. Kalou has since then publicly stated he has given up hope of ever attaining the Dutch nationality.
Centraal Beheer commercial
The process of Kalou’s naturalization became the theme of a short-lived television commercial for Centraal Beheer. In the commercial of April 2006, a character representing Kalou is depicted as becoming a naturalized citizen, not of the Netherlands, but of Germany.
This was a reference to Angolan-born forward Nando Rafael, now of Aarhus GF, who, after failing to acquire Dutch citizenship while at Ajax, moved to German Bundesliga club Hertha Berlin, became a German citizen, and represented Germany at Under-21 level.
Kalou was not amused with this commercial, and with copyright law at his hands, the commercial was removed from Dutch television within a week.
Chelsea
2006/07 Season
Kalou moved to Chelsea on May 30, 2006, for an undisclosed fee, believed to be in excess of £9,000,000. Under contract with Chelsea until 2009, Kalou was handed the number 21 jersey.
Former Chelsea manager José Mourinho praised the young Ivorian as being hardworking, versatile, eager to improve, and unafraid of the physical side of the game. Kalou admitted that he brought a camera with him to his first training session at Chelsea’s training centre at Cobham because he could not believe that he was going to be rubbing shoulders with famous footballers like Michael Ballack, John Terry, and Didier Drogba. Describing the experience, Kalou said:
“This was the dream moment of my life and I did not want to wake up and find that it was not real.”
Kalou with Mikel John Obi.
According to Soccernet, Kalou revealed that he idolizes French forward and Arsenal record goalscorer Thierry Henry, of Barcelona, and tries to imitate Henry’s moves in his free time. His admiration of Henry was a factor in his decision to play in the Premier League, as it was the league where Henry became a superstar.
At Chelsea, Kalou plays with compatriot, Côte d’Ivoire captain Didier Drogba. Kalou scored his first goals for Chelsea in a reserve game against Portsmouth bagging a hat trick and the match ball in a 5-0 thrashing. Kalou scored his first senior goal for Chelsea in a two-goal win over Blackburn Rovers in the third round of the Carling Cup.
Kalou scored his first Premiership goal in December 2006 in Chelsea’s 3-2 victory over Wigan Athletic at the JJB Stadium. He scored his second Premiership goal against Blackburn in Chelsea’s 3-0 win. He also scored a 93rd minute goal against Watford, putting Chelsea 1-0 up. He also scored a volleyed goal from 12 yards against Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup Quarter-Final, which ended 3-3. Chelsea won the replay 1-2, before progressing to the final with a similar scoreline against Blackburn Rovers. Kalou also came on as a substitute in the 2007 FA Cup Final win over Manchester United for his second trophy in England, having earlier come on as a substitute for Chelsea in the 2007 Football League Cup Final victory over Arsenal.
2007/08 Season
Kalou continued his good form into the following season, scoring his first goal of the campaign against Manchester City in Chelsea’s 6–0 at Stamford Bridge and the opening goal against Derby County in a 2–0 win. Salomon Kalou amassed the record number of offsides in a season with 107 in 30 games; betraying his lack of ability in reading the game.
The 2007-2008 Carling Cup quarter final saw Kalou take up the right wing position of two wing players (the other being Scott Sinclair) of a 4-3-2-1 formation. Kalou made lots of chances for himself and his team-mates; including a very precise left-footed cross, resulting in a Shevchenko headed goal. He thereafter scored goals against Newcastle United and Fulham contributing to Chelsea’s success. He scored goals against West Ham United, Olympiacos and Derby County. His last minute cross into the penalty area led to John Arne Riise scoring the own goal in the UEFA Champion’s League Semi-final first leg at Anfield, which gave Chelsea a vital away goal. Kalou also scored with Chelsea’s sixth penalty in the Champion’s League Final in Moscow, where Chelsea lost.
2008/09 Season
Kalou playing for Chelsea.
He did not feature much under Avram Grant’s successor, Luiz Felipe Scolari except for in pre-season, because of his participation in the 2008 Beijing Olympics as part of the Ivory Coast U-23 team. However he came on off the bench against Manchester United on the 21st September and scored a header after 80 minutes from a John Obi Mikel free kick. The goal ensured that Chelsea secured a point and kept their unbeaten home record. Kalou then scored two goals and assisted a Frank Lampard header on 18 October in Chelsea’s 5-0 win at Middlesbrough. He again scored two goals against Middlesbrough, this time at Stamford Bridge on January 28 2008 in Chelsea’s 2-0 win and was a favourite under interim manager Guus Hiddink. On the 25th of April 2009, he scored the winner against West Ham United.
2009/10 Season
Kalou and Chelsea began the season in winning form; beating Manchester United to lift the 2009 FA Community Shield, with Kalou scoring the winning penalty to celebrate his birthday during the same week. Kalou scored his first goal of the 2009/10 season against Queens Park Rangers at Stamford Bridge in the 3rd round of the Carling Cup, earning his team a deserved 1-0 victory. On October 12, 2009, Kalou signed a new 3 year contract extension with Chelsea, keeping him at Stamford Bridge until the summer of 2012.. He celebrated his new contract with an excellent brace against Club Atlético de Madrid in the UEFA Champions League, helping Chelsea maintain their 100% record in the competition. Kalou continued his good form scoring a header in the 4-0 win against Bolton the Carling Cup. He also netted in the Blues’ Carling Cup loss to Blackburn Rovers, but it was to be his last goal for two months until he broke the duck against Cardiff City in the FA Cup on 13 February. During those two months without scoring, Kalou struggled for game-time and the goal against the Bluebirds was one he really needed. On 24 February, he scored a good goal against Internazionale in the UEFA Champions League second round first leg. His shot from outside the box was tame but an error from Inter ‘keeper Julio Cesar allowed the ball to find the back of the net. Chelsea however lost the leg 2-1, but Kalou’s goal was important as it was a much needed away goal for Chelsea.
Personal life
Kalou has five brothers and eight sisters from the same mother. His brother, Bonaventure Kalou, also plays professional football, and is currently on the Dutch team Heerenveen. Salomon joined Feyenoord during the time his brother Bonaventure was playing for the club from Rotterdam.

This section requires expansion.
At the 2006 FIFA World Cup, the Netherlands and Côte d’Ivoire were allocated to the same group in the first round. If Kalou had become a Dutch citizen and was selected for the Netherlands, he could have played against his native country and possibly against his own brother. Kalou’s failure to acquire Dutch citizenship was a factor in his decision to leave Feyenoord for Chelsea.
He has been named in the Côte d’Ivoire national squad on a number of occasions, However he rejected all call ups until February 6, 2007 when he finally made his Côte d’Ivoire debut in the friendly against Guinea, where the Elephants ran out 1–0 winners. He also featured in the Elephant’s African Cup of Nations and scored a terrific goal to stun co-favourites Nigeria in the opening game.
After failing to obtain his Dutch passport, Kalou decided to play for the Côte d’Ivoire. His first international goal was scored on March 21, 2007 in a friendly against Mauritius. He played at the 2008 Africa Cup of Nations with the team, scoring 3 goals in the process, and reached 4th place after losing to Ghana in the 3rd place play off.

Serum protein electrophoresis showing a paraprotein (peak in the gamma zone) in a patient with multiple myeloma.
A protein in the urine or blood, most often associated with benign MGUS (monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance), where they remain “silent”, and multiple myeloma. An excess in the blood is known as paraproteinemia.
These are immunoglobulins or immunoglobulin light-chains that are produced by the clonal proliferation of plasma cells. Paraproteins form a narrow band, or ’spike’ in protein electrophoresis as they are all exactly the same protein.
Monoclonal free light chains in the serum or urine are called Bence Jones proteins.

History
The concept and term were introduced by the Berlin pathologist Dr Kurt Apitz in 1940, at that time the Oberarzt of the pathological institute at the Charité hospital.
Paraproteins allowed the detailed study of immunoglobulins, which eventually led to the production of monoclonal antibodies in 1975.

Apella (Greek: ??????) was the official title of the popular assembly in the Ancient Greek city-state of Sparta, corresponding to the ecclesia in most other Greek states. Every Spartan male full citizen who had completed his thirtieth year was entitled to attend the meetings, which, according to Lycurgus’s ordinance, must be held at the time of each full moon within the boundaries of Sparta.
They had in all probability taken place originally in the Agora, but were later transferred to the neighbouring building known as the Skias (Paus. iii. 12. 10). The presiding officers were at first the kings, but in historical times the ephors, and the voting was conducted by shouts; if the president was doubtful as to the majority of voices, a division was taken and the votes were counted. Lycurgus had ordained that the apella must simply accept or reject the proposals submitted to it, and though this regulation fell into neglect, it was practically restored by the law of Theopompus and Polydorus which empowered the kings and elders (gerousia) to set aside any “crooked” decision of the people (Plut. Lycurg. 6). In later times, too, the actual debate was almost, if not wholly, confined to the kings, elders, ephors and perhaps the other magistrates. The apella voted on peace and war, treaties and foreign policy in general: it decided which of the kings should conduct a campaign and settled questions of disputed succession to the throne: it elected elders, ephors and other magistrates, emancipated helots and perhaps voted on legal proposals. There is a single reference (Xen. Hell. iii. 3. to a “small assembly” ? ????? ????????? ????????) at Sparta, but nothing is known as to its nature or competence. The term apella does not occur in extant Spartan inscriptions, though two decrees of Gythium belonging to the Roman period refer to the ??????? ??????? (Le Bas-Foucart, Voyage archéologique, ii., Nos. 242a, 243).
The apella was responsible for electing men to the gerousia for life. Candidates were selected from the aristocrats and presented before the apella. The candidate who received the loudest applause became a member of the gerousia.
The apella also elected the five ephors annually. Ephors presided over meetings of the gerousia and the apella. They could not run for re-election.
The gerousia presented motions before the apella. The apella then voted on the motions. However, unlike the ecclesia in Athens, the apella did not debate; it merely approved or disapproved of measures. Moreover, the gerousia always had the power to veto the decision of the apella.
