Infobox references

Arsenic acid is the chemical compound with the formula H3AsO4. More descriptively written as AsO(OH)3, this colorless acid is the arsenic analogue of phosphoric acid. Arsenate and phosphate salts behave very similarly. Arsenic acid as such has not been isolated, but only found in solution where it is largely ionized. Its hemihydrate form (H3AsO4·1?2H2O) does form stable crystals. Crystalline samples dehydrate with condensation at 100 °C.

It is a tetrahedral species of idealized symmetry C3v with As-O bonds lengths ranging from 1.66-1.71Å.

Being a triprotic acid, its acidity is described by three equilibria:

These Ka’s are close to those for phosphoric acid. The highly basic arsenate ion, AsO43-, is the product of the third ionization. Unlike phosphoric acid, arsenic acid is oxidizing, illustrated by its ability to convert iodide to iodine.

Applications

Commercial applications of arsenic acid are limited by its toxicity. It has found occasional use as a wood preservative, broad-spectrum biocide, a finishing agent for glass and metal, and a reagent in the retard of some dyestuffs and organic arsenic compounds.

Historic Use

Atoxyl was first synthesized in 1859 by Antoine Béchamp by chemically reacting arsenic acid with aniline. Béchamp optimistically chose the name Atoxyl, referring to the reduced toxicity of the resulting compound (compared to arsenic). Atoxyl was initially used in medicine to treat simple skin diseases. In 1905, two British physicians, H. W. Thomas and A. Breinl, discovered that Atoxyl was active against the trypanosomes of sleeping sickness. However, the effect of atoxyl was not very pronounced, and the effective dose was so high that its toxic side effects far outweighed the benefits. In 1909, Paul Ehrlich and Sahachiro Hata used Atoxyl as the basis to create Salvarsan, another arsenical used as an anti-syphiltic drug.

Biography

Early life

Sanada was born Hiroyuki Shimosawa (?? ?? Shimozawa Hiroyuki?) in Tokyo, Japan. He began training with Sonny Chiba’s Japan Action Club. Originally aiming to be an action star, he developed good all-round martial arts ability.

Career

Sanada was first noticed as a serious actor in the movie “Mahjong Hourouki” directed by Makoto Wada. Wada and Sanada’s relationship is similar to that of John Huston and Humphrey Bogart and since then Sanada has acted in every one of Wada’s movies. Those works are filled with a sense of humor and nostalgic attachment for classic movies. He has established himself as a character actor who can play many different roles. Some of his most famous movies are: Tasogare Seibei (The Twilight Samurai), Ring, Kaitou Rubi and The Last Samurai.

Sanada made an appearance in the 2005 Hollywood film The White Countess directed by James Ivory, and the Chinese film The Promise directed by Chen Kaige. He is known internationally more from The Last Samurai, The White Countess and Sunshine directed by Danny Boyle, but has recently been seen in Rush Hour 3 with Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. He also stars in The City of Your Final Destination another James Ivory film, where he plays the younger lover of Anthony Hopkins’s character.

In 1999 and 2000, he performed with the Royal Shakespeare Company in their production of King Lear. This marked the first time a Japanese actor had performed with the theatrical group, and earned Sanada an MBE.

Hiroyuki Sanada has often been credited, in his younger days, as either Henry, Harry or Duke Sanada. His martial arts film career led him in contact with Michelle Yeoh, who he later starred with in Sunshine. He also has a long standing friendship with Jackie Chan, but didn’t star in a film with him before Rush Hour 3.

Sanada has been said to be one of Japan’s most respected actors, and is often cast as the quiet, heroic character, as seen in The Twilight Samurai.

Wei Guan (??) (220-291), courtesy name Boyu (??), formally Duke Cheng of Lanling (????), was a Cao Wei and Jin Dynasty (265-420) official.

Early life and career during Cao Wei

Wei Guan was from Hedong Commandery (roughly modern Yuncheng, Shanxi). His father Wei Ji (??) was a high-level Cao Wei official and a marquess, who died in 229. Wei Guan inherited his title, and when he grew older became a low-level official. Throughout the years, he became known for his capability and was continuously promoted. After Cao Huan became emperor, he became the justice minister, and was known for his strength in logical thinking.

When the Cao Wei regent Sima Zhao commissioned Zhong Hui and Deng Ai to attack Shu Han in 263, Wei served as Deng’s deputy. After Shu Han’s fall that year, Zhong planned a rebellion, and the first step of his preparation was to falsely accuse Deng of crimes. Sima Zhao, believing Zhong’s accusations, ordered Deng arrested, and Zhong in turn ordered Wei to arrest Deng, hoping that Wei would fail and be killed by Deng so that he could further affirm his accusations against Deng. Wei knew this, and surprised Deng in the middle of the night and arrested him successfully. When Zhong later declared his rebellion, Wei pretended to be seriously ill. Zhong therefore did not guard him securely, and later, Wei participated in rousing the troops to kill Zhong and thus end the rebellion. Fearful that Deng would then retaliate him, he had Deng tracked down and killed. When Du Yu publicly denounced Wei, instead of becoming angry and retaliate against Du, Wei visited Du to apologize to him. He also declined a larger march that Sima Zhao was ready to bestow on him for his accomplishments.

Career during Jin

In 265, Sima Zhao died and was succeeded as regent by his son Sima Yan, who later that year forced Cao Huan to abdicate to him, ending Cao Wei and establishing Jin (as Emperor Wu). Throughout Emperor Wu’s reign, Wei Guan continued to be an important official and general, serving in a variety of roles capably. As a result, one of his brothers and one of his sons were granted marquess titles. Wei attempted to implement a revised civil service system, where the civil service examiner (??) would have less input on grading officials, and actual job performance would become more important, but while Emperor Wu liked Wei’s suggestions, he did not carry them out.

Wei was one of the few officials who dared to openly speak to Emperor Wu about his choice of crown prince, his son Sima Zhong, who was developmentally disabled. On one occasion, Emperor Wu, after Wei hinted that Crown Prince Zhong should not be crown prince, sent a number of inquiries to Crown Prince Zhong to have answered. When the inquiries were appropriately answered (because Crown Prince Zhong’s wife Crown Princess Jia Nanfeng had someone else answer the inquiries for Crown Prince Zhong), Emperor Wu was happy and publicly showed Wei the answers, embarrassing Wei greatly and making it clear to other officials that Wei had said something.

After Emperor Wu’s death in 290, Yang Jun, the father of Empress Dowager Yang assumed the regency for Crown Prince Zhong (who ascended the throne as Emperor Hui), but in 291 was overthrown and killed by Empress Jia. Wei was then made regent, along with Emperor Hui’s granduncle Sima Liang. Wei and Sima Liang did tried to get the government on track, but Empress Jia continued to interfere with governmental matters. They also became concerned about the violent temper of Emperor Hui’s brother Sima Wei the Prince of Chu (who was heavily involved in the coup against Yang Jun) and therefore tried to strip him of his military command, but Sima Wei persuaded Empress Jia to let him keep his military command. Sima Wei’s assistants Qi Sheng (??) and Gongsun Hong (???) thereafter falsely told Empress Jia that Sima Liang and Wei planned to depose the emperor. Empress Jia, who had already resented Wei for having, during Emperor Wu’s reign, suggested that he change his heir selection, also wanted more direct control over the government, and therefore resolved to undergo a second coup.

In summer 291, Empress Jia had Emperor Hui personally write an edict to Sima Wei, ordering him to have Sima Liang and Wei removed from their offices. His forces thereby surrounded Sima Liang and Wei’s mansions, and while both men’s subordinates recommended resistance, each declined and was captured. Against what the edict said, both were killed — Sima Liang with his heir Sima Ju (???) and Wei with nine of his sons and grandsons. After Empress Jia, concerned about Sima Wei’s power, then falsely declared that the edict was forged by Sima Wei and had him executed, Wei was posthumousy honored and created a duke.

Filler text is text that shares some characteristics of a real written text, but is random or otherwise generated. It may be used to display a sample of fonts, generate text for testing, or to spoof an e-mail spam filter. The process of using filler text is sometimes called Greeking, although the text itself may be nonsense, or largely Latin, as in Lorem ipsum.

ASDF

Main article: ASDF (sequence of letters)

ASDF is the sequence of letters that appear on the first four keys on the home row of a QWERTY or QWERTZ keyboard. They are often used as a sample or test case or as random, meaningless nonsense. It is also a common learning tool for keyboard classes, since all four keys are located on Home row.

ETAOIN SHRDLU

Main article: ETAOIN SHRDLU

ETAOIN SHRDLU is the approximate order of frequency of the twelve most commonly used letters in the English language, best known as a nonsense phrase that sometimes appeared in print in the days of “hot type” publishing due to a custom of Linotype machine operators.

Lorem ipsum

Main article: Lorem ipsum

“Lorem ipsum…” is one of the most common filler texts, popular with typesetters and graphic designers. Li Europan lingues is another similar example.

Now is the time for all good men

“Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party” is a phrase first proposed as a typing drill by instructor Charles E. Weller. It has appeared in a number of typing books, often in the form “Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.”

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

Main article: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

A coherent, short phrase that uses every letter of the alphabet. See Pangram for more examples.

Passersby were amazed by the unusually large amounts of blood

In the print version of the popular United States-based satirical newspaper The Onion, the sentence “Passersby were amazed by the unusually large amounts of blood” is often repeated to fill space under a bold-text non sequitur made to appear as if the bolded “quote” has been pulled from an article nearby. This running gag has been part of The Onion for several years.

About

Only 61 of the songs were introduced in or written for the movies cited. 22 are from Broadway productions, 4 had been used in earlier movies, and 12 had been performed separate from the movie. One, Summertime (#52), is from an opera - Porgy and Bess. Its inclusion was surprising, as the movie had only 1 television broadcast, in 1967, had not been licensed for public showing since 1974, and had never been released to VHS or DVD. Four entries are from animated films, all of which were produced by the Walt Disney Studios (#99, #62, #19 and #7).

Judy Garland has 5 entries on the list (#76, #61, #26, #11, and #1 with Over the Rainbow.) She is the most represented singer. Julie Andrews (#88, #64, #36 and # 10) and Barbra Streisand (#46, #16, #13 and #8) tied for second place with four entries each.

The Dolmabahçe Palace (Turkish: Dolmabahçe Saray?) in Istanbul, Turkey, located at the European side of the Bosphorus, served as the main administrative center of the Ottoman Empire from 1853 to 1922, apart from a twenty-year interval (1889-1909) in which the Y?ld?z Palace was used.

History

Dolmabahçe Palace was the first European-style palace in Istanbul and was built by Sultan Abdülmecid between 1842 and 1853, at a cost of five million Ottoman gold pounds, the equivalent of 35 tons of gold. Fourteen tons of gold in the form of gold leaf were used to gild the ceilings of the palace. The world’s largest Bohemian crystal chandelier, a gift from Queen Victoria, is at the center hall. The chandelier has 750 lamps and weighs 4.5 tons. Dolmabahçe has the largest collection of Bohemian and Baccarat crystal chandeliers in the world, and one of the great staircases has bannisters of Baccarat crystal.

The site of Dolmabahçe was originally a bay in the Bosphorus which was filled gradually during the 18th century to become an imperial garden, much appreciated by the Ottoman sultans; and it is from this garden that the name Dolmabahçe (Filledgarden) comes from, dolma meaning ‘filled’ and bahçe meaning ‘garden’. Various summer palaces were built here during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The palace that stands here today was built between 1842 and 1853 during the reign of Sultan Abdülmecid, on the site of the old coastal palace of Be?ikta?, by the Armenian architects Garabet Amira Balyan and his son Nigo?ayos Balyan. The Sultans moved here, since the old Topkap? Palace lacked the modern luxuries that the Dolmabahçe could provide.

Architecture

The palace is composed of three parts; the Mabeyn-i Hümâyûn (or Selaml?k, the quarters reserved for the men), Muayede Salonu (the ceremonial halls) and the Harem-i Hümâyûn (the Harem, the apartments of the family of the Sultan). The palace has an area of 45,000 m² (11.2 acres), and contains 285 rooms, 46 halls, 6 baths (hamam) and 68 toilets. The famous Crystal Staircase has the shape of a double horseshoe and is built of Baccarat crystal, brass and mahogany. The palace includes a large number of Hereke palace carpets made by the Hereke Imperial Factory. Also featured are 150-year-old bearskin rugs originally presented to the Sultan as a gift by the Tsar of Russia.

The palace is managed by Milli Saraylar Daire Ba?kanl??? (Directorate of National Palaces) responsible to the Grand National Assembly of Turkey. Dolmabahçe Palace Museum is open to public on weekdays from 9:00 to 15:00, except Mondays and Thursdays.

Atatürk’s room

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder and first president of Turkey, spent his last years in the palace as his health deteriorated. Atatürk died at 9:05 a.m. on November 10, 1938, in a room that is now part of the museum.

Marie Windsor (December 11, 1919 - December 10, 2000). Born as Emily Marie Bertelson in Marysvale, Piute County, Utah, Windsor was called “The Queen of the Bs” because she appeared in so many film noirs and B-movies like Cat-Women of the Moon (1953). However, other actresses, such as Fay Wray, Lucille Ball, and others have garnered the title as well.

Windsor, a former Miss Utah, trained for the stage under Maria Ouspenskaya, and after several years as a telephone operator, a stage and radio actress, and a bit and extra player in films, she began playing feature and lead parts in 1947.

The 5′9″ actress’s first memorable role was opposite John Garfield in Force of Evil playing seductress Edna Tucker. Windsor also had large roles in film noirs including The Sniper, The Narrow Margin, City That Never Sleeps and Stanley Kubrick’s heist movie The Killing playing Elisha Cook Jr.’s scheming wife.

Later she moved on to television, appearing on such shows as Maverick (in episodes “The Quick and the Dead” with James Garner and “Epitaph for a Gambler”), The Incredible Hulk, General Hospital, Murder, She Wrote and Rawhide (”Incident on the Edge of Madness”).

After her acting career she became a painter and sculptor. She died of undisclosed causes on the day before her 81st birthday.

She was one of the 500 stars nominated to become one of the 50 greatest American screen legends as part of the American Film Institute’s 100 years.

She married twice. First to actor Ted Stevens whom she later divorced, and to Jack Hupp, a member of the 1936 U.S. Olympic basketball team.
