In enzymology, a protocatechuate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.63) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate, and two products, catechol and CO2.
This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the carboxy-lyases, which cleave carbon-carbon bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate carboxy-lyase (catechol-forming). Other names in common use include 3,4-dihydrobenzoate decarboxylase, and protocatechuate carboxy-lyase. This enzyme participates in benzoate degradation via hydroxylation.

Roscoelite is a green mineral from the mica group that contains vanadium.
The chemical formula is K(V3+,Al,Mg)2AlSi3O10(OH)2. Crystals of roscoelite take on the monoclinic form, and are from the 2/m point group. The appearance is semi transparent to translucent coloured olive brown to green brown. The luster is pearly. The mineral shows pleochroism with X showing green-brown, and Y and Z axes showing olive-green colour. The mineral was named after Henry Enfield Roscoe who first produced vanadium metal.

Chemical properties
Roscoelite is a muscovite with aluminium substituted with vanadium. Vanadium can also be substituted by magnesium, iron, or manganese.
Physical properties
It is soft and the density is 2.93±0.01. The unit cell has dimensions
with an angle between axes of ?=101.0°. The tetrahedral cation-oxygen atom distance is 164.1 pm, The distance from the cation to the oxygen in the octahedral plan is 202 pm.
Formation
Two kinds of mineral deposits contain roscoelite, either gold-silver-tellurium low temperature epithermal deposits where it occurs along with quartz, fluorite, pyrite and carbonates, or oxidized low temperature uranium-vanadium ores in sedimentary rocks, where it occurs with corvusite, hewettite, carnotite and tyuyamunite. Roecoelite is considered a gangue mineral of no value when found with gold. However it has also been used as a vanadium ore.
In the Mt. Kare mine in New Guinea the mineral occurs with gold and is an important maker of gold deposits. The temperature of the geothermal fluid that depositied the roscoelite was from 127 to 167 °C. The fluid contained a high level of salt and also contained carbon dioxide, methane, carbonyl sulfide and other minor amounts of rock forming elements.
Occurrence
The mineral has been found in numerous places in USA, Australia, Japan, Gabon, Fiji, New Guineaand Czech Republic. In the United States, it was the principal vanadium ore mineral at the mines at Placerville, Colorado. In Australia roscoelite has been found at Kalgoorlie, Radium Hill and the Kintore Open Cut at Broken Hill.

(Redirected from Killererin)

Killererin (Irish: Cill Fhir Iarainn meaning “Church of the Iron Men”) is a Gaelic Athletic Association club based in the Tuam area in County Galway, Ireland. The club is a member of the Galway GAA. Underage teams up to U-16s play in the Galway league and championships. Killererin is a Gaelic football club with a proud tradition of producing gutsy performances to win games. Over the years it has gained a reputation for being one of the toughest sides to beat in the championship and this is reflected by the fact that it has contested five of the last eight county finals. In 2007, Killererin won its fifth county title defeating Milltown in October. They faced St.Bridgets of Roscommon in the Connacht Senior Club Football Championship but were easily defeated with Padraic Joyce giving a brilliant performance despite the scoreline of 4-10 to 1-09.
One family in particular is synonymous with Killererin football - the Joyce family of Lisavalley. Billy Joyce represented Galway in the 1970s and early 1980s. His nephew Padraic burst onto the scene in 1998 when Galway won their first All-Ireland for 32 years, scoring a crucial goal in the decider against Kildare. In 2001, Padraic was joined on the team by his older brother Tommy, and together they helped Galway regain the Sam McGuire, Padraig getting 10 points of Galway’s 0-17. Padraig was named Footballer of the Year in 2001 for that performance. In recent seasons, Nicholas or Nicky, son of Billy, first cousin to Tommy and Padraic, has arrived on the Galway scene. After returning from an enforced absence due to a difference of opinion with manager Peter Ford, Nicky was the only Galway player to receive an All Star nomination for the 2007 Championship.

Elfriede de Jarosy
Ernestine Stodelle
Peggy Ashcroft
Fyodor Fyodorovich Komissarzhevsky (Russian: ????? ????????? ???????????????, 23 May 1882 - 17 April 1954) or Theodore Komisarjevsky, as he is better known in the West, was a leading Russian theatrical director and designer of the 20th century, particularly notable for his groundbreaking productions of plays by Chekhov and Shakespeare.
Born in Venice, Komisarjevsky was born into theatre, as his father was a high-profile opera singer who befriended Tchaikovsky, and as his sister, Vera Komissarzhevskaya, was a pre-eminent Russian actress of her generation. Originally interested in architecture, Komisarjevsky turned to theatre in 1907, when he started staging plays in his sister’s theatre.
Two years later he joined the theatrical revolutionary Nikolai Yevreinov in establishing a new stage company whose productions were intended to combine philosophy and romance. Interested in the idea of art synthesis, Komisarjevsky dreamed about the “theatre of all the arts”. He maintained that “colors, lines, and music emphasize the acting, they can give the actor’s words alternate meanings, they can pervert the episodes of the performance”.
In 1910, Komisarjevsky moved on to set up his own studio in Moscow. He illustrated his ideas in well-received productions of Faust and The Idiot. Young actors entering his studio were trained in dancing and singing, as Komisarjevsky sought to prepare a new breed of “universal actors”. Some of these, like Igor Ilyinsky and Mikhail Zharov, went on to make spectacular careers in Soviet theatre and cinema.
Following the Russian Revolution of 1917, Komisarjevsky was named Director of the Bolshoi Theatre, in which he had produced several operas. After Lenin infamously advised Lunacharsky to “put theatres into coffins”, Komisarjevsky emigrated to Britain. In the course of the following decade he amassed a formidable reputation for having introduced British audiences to Chekhov’s plays.
In the 1930s, Komisarjevsky commanded such a presence in so many areas of theatre that the Encyclopædia Britannica recognized him as “one of the most colourful figures of the European theatre”. His much reprinted study of theatrical dress, The Costume of the Theatre, appeared in 1932. He also delivered lectures at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, with the likes of John Gielgud and Charles Laughton among his students. Donald Wolfit, Christopher Plummer, and his own wife Peggy Ashcroft were among the many fine actors who starred in Komisarjevsky’s productions.
It was at that time that he directed his unorthodox versions of Shakespearean plays and scandalised the conservative British establishment with novel interpretations of classics. His 1933 production of Macbeth in Stratford-on-Avon received much publicity, as it featured an abstract aluminium set, sparse lighting and extravagant costumes, notably a crown of saucepan lids worn by Lady Macbeth. Three years later, he won another box-office success with King Lear, with action set “outside time and beyond geography”, as the director termed it.
Komisarjevsky left a lasting legacy in London in the shape of theatre buildings he designed, including the Phoenix Theatre in Charing Cross Road and the Tooting Granada, the first cinema to be awarded Grade I-listed building status. Upon the outbreak of the World War II, he chose to move to the USA, however. The director died in Darien, Connecticut.
Komisarjevsky’s second wife, noted dancer Ernestine Stodelle, died January 8, 2008 in Santa Barbara, California
Grandson
On July 24, 2007, Joshua Komisarjevsky, an adopted son of Benedict Komisarjevsky, son of Theodore Komisarjevsky , was arraigned on charges related to his murderous, psychotic rampage along with co-conspirator Stephen Hayes at the Cheshire, Connecticut home of endocrinologist William A. Petit, Jr. Dr. Petit was beaten severely with a baseball bat, his wife strangled and his two young daughters left to die in the torched house. Press reports were that the girls were tied to their beds, raped, and left to die as the home was set ablaze. The state’s attorney has announced he will seek the death penalty against Komisarjevsky and his accomplice.
As of December 2009, attorneys for Hayes are asking the court to delay the jury selection, which is currently scheduled to begin in January 2010, as Komisarjevsky gave interviews to an author for a book in which he blamed Hayes for the murders.
