**Aberdeen University Medics RFC** is a rugby union club based in Aberdeen, Scotland. The Men's team currently plays in Caledonia North Four.

## History

As well as playing in the Scottish Rugby Union leagues, the team also play in the Scottish and Northern Irish Medical Schools competition.

The club was one point clear with a game in hand at the top of the Caledonia North 4 league at the time in March 2020 when the Scottish Rugby Union pulled the plug on the league due to the COVID-19 pandemic and declared the season null and void. The SRU had put 5 models to the clubs and over half went for the null and void option.

The 2020 President of the club Jeremie Juan stated:

> It was obviously hard to take after playing so well. We thought we were home and dry. There will be no league trophy after all our hard work, though there will be lots of good memories. But the important thing at this moment in time is to look after each other. Rugby is secondary to what is going on in the world. The experience will have served us well for next season. Especially as many of the guys will be with us again for another campaign.

The Medics scored 318 points in the league campaign that season, with an average of 35 points per game.

The club did a 24-hour walking challenge for charity in May 2021. This was part of the 'Every Mile for Our NHS' challenge, which aimed to support 3 charities:- The Royal Medical Benevolent Fund; The Cavell Nurses' Trust; and Doctors in Distress.

The President of the club in 2021 David Raftery explained:

> While we'd obviously be delighted if people could donate in support of our efforts – cardio is quite alien to rugby players – we also want our run to raise awareness of these three good causes and encourage others to do their own fundraising. We're so grateful that the staff at NHS Grampian and Highland have been teaching us throughout this very difficult year, and this is a small thing we can do to repay them.

## Sides

The club states that you don't need to be a medic to play for the side.

# 1926–27 AHA season

The **1926–27 AHA season** was the inaugural season for the American Hockey Association. Five franchises who had played the previous year in the Central Hockey League were joined by a new sixth member, the Chicago Cardinals.

## Schedule and playoffs

The teams were scheduled to play 40 games with 8 coming against each of their five opponents. The top three teams by points would qualify for the postseason with the regular season champion receiving a bye into the final round.

### Detroit Greyhounds

Due to their expected home rink still being under construction at the start of the season, the Detroit Greyhounds forfeited their first four home games. In mid-December, with delays still plaguing the Greyhounds' rink, the team withdrew from the league. The league rearranged the schedule on the fly and ended up with a slight imbalance in games played by the end of the season, however, the difference in games did not affect the final standings.

Ambassador Khan holds a Doctorate in International Economic and Business Law (LL.D.) from Kyushu University, Japan and has been a resource person at a number of academic institutions.

He is married and has two children.

## Cypher Case with Imran Khan

In 2022, Asad Majeed Khan became a key figure in a high-profile political controversy in Pakistan involving former Prime Minister Imran Khan. The controversy, known as the "Cypher Case," revolved around a diplomatic cable sent by Ambassador Khan during his tenure as Pakistan's Ambassador to the United States. The cable allegedly contained a conversation that was interpreted by Imran Khan as evidence of a foreign conspiracy to oust him from office.

Imran Khan claimed that the cypher, which he publicly disclosed during a political rally, indicated that the United States was behind a plot to remove him from power through a no-confidence vote in the National Assembly. This claim was based on the contents of the cable which reportedly conveyed a message from a senior U.S. official suggesting that Pakistan would face consequences if Imran Khan remained in office.

The release and interpretation of the cypher led to significant political turmoil in Pakistan, with debates over the validity and implications of the alleged foreign interference. Critics of Imran Khan accused him of using the cypher to create a narrative of external meddling for political gain, while his supporters viewed it as proof of a legitimate threat to Pakistan's sovereignty.

Asad Majeed Khan, who was responsible for drafting the cable, found himself at the center of the controversy. He maintained that the cable was a routine diplomatic communication and that its contents were misrepresented for political purposes. The case sparked widespread debate about the role of diplomatic communications in domestic politics and the potential consequences of their misuse.

This controversy remained a topic of discussion in Pakistani politics and media, contributing to the ongoing discourse about foreign influence and political integrity in the country.

# Arthur Lampkin

**Arthur Lampkin** (born circa 1938) is an English former professional motorcycle racer. The oldest son in a Yorkshire motorcycling dynasty, he competed in a variety of off-road motorcycle events such as observed trials, motocross and enduros.

## Motorcycling career

Born in Kent, England, Lampkin's father moved the family to Silsden, West Yorkshire in 1941. He began riding his father's BSA motorcycle even before he was old enough to have a licence. Lampkin purchased his first motorcycle from money he had earned from his paper route, and by the age of 18 he had won the British trials national championship.

In the 1960s, he became a member of the BSA factory racing team along with his brother Alan. Lampkin, along with Dave Bickers and Jeff Smith, were part of a group British motorcyclists that dominated the sport of motocross in the early 1960s. In the 1961 European motocross championships, he finished the season in second place behind Bickers. The following year, the championship was upgraded to world championship status and Lampkin finished the year in third place behind Torsten Hallman and Jeff Smith. He was also a member of British motocross teams that won the 250cc Trophée des Nations events in 1961 and 1962, as well as the 1965 500cc Motocross des Nations event.

Lampkin continued to compete in other off-road motorcycle competitions, winning prestigious events such as the 1963 Scottish Six Days Trial, and the Scott Trial in 1960, 1961 and 1965. He also competed internationally in enduro events, representing Great Britain and earning a gold medal in the 1966 International Six Days Trial held in Sweden. Lampkin's younger brothers, Alan and Martin Lampkin also experienced success in motorcycle competitions. Alan won the British trials championship while Martin became a British trials champion as well as winning the 1975 FIM Trial World Championship.

## Later life

After retiring from competition, Lampkin took over his father's engineering business. Lampkin's nephew, the son of Martin Lampkin, is twelve-time trials world champion, Dougie Lampkin.

# 1934 Portuguese legislative election

Parliamentary elections were held in Portugal on 16 December 1934, the first following the establishment of the one-party state known as the Estado Novo. The National Union was the only party to contest the elections, and no opposition candidates were allowed to run. It subsequently won all seats in the National Assembly, three of which were taken by women.

## Electoral system

For the elections the country formed a single 100-member constituency. Suffrage was extended to all men aged 21 or over as long as they were literate or paid over 100 escudos in taxation, and to women aged over 21 if they had completed secondary education. However, only 8.2% of the population were registered to vote.

title: Arthur Tomblin

abstract: Arthur Charles Tomblin was an English clergyman and a cricketer who played in four first-class matches for Cambridge University and the Gentlemen of the North team in 1857 and 1862. He was born at Empingham, Rutland and died at Kettering, Northamptonshire. The precise date of his birth is not known. Tomblin was educated at Uppingham School and at Emmanuel College, Cambridge. As a cricketer, he was a left-handed middle- or lower-order batsman. He made an unbeaten 31 on his first-class debut for Cambridge University against the Marylebone Cricket Club, but achieved very little in his other games for the university, the last of which was the 1857 University Match, in which he scored 12 and 0. In 1862, Tomblin returned for a single further first-class game, a match between amateur teams from the North and the South of England, and made his highest score, 46, in his final first-class innings. Tomblin graduated from Cambridge University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1858. He was ordained as a Church of England deacon in 1859 and as a priest the following year; he served as curate at Great Oakley, Northamptonshire from 1858 to 1863 when he became vicar of the same parish through to 1900. He continued to live in Great Oakley after his retirement. He died at Kettering in April 1911, aged 74.

abstract: Dermot Curtis was an Irish international footballer. He represented his country 17 times, playing at centre-forward. Curtis was playing in the League of Ireland for Shelbourne when he first hit the headlines. On 19 September, at Dalymount Park the League of Ireland XI held a star-studded English League XI to a 3–3 draw with Curtis notching the vital third goal. He made his full international debut for Republic of Ireland at home to Denmark on 3 October 1956 in which he scored. In December that year he joined Bristol City for £8,000 where he was to score 16 league goals in only 26 games. In September 1958 he joined Ipswich Town, playing in the side that won promotion to Division One in 1961, and the league championship the following season. However, the form of Ray Crawford and Ted Phillips limited his chances at Portman Road, and in August 1963 he moved to Exeter City after only 41 league games. On 23 September 1963 he became the first Exeter player to be capped for his country as he earned his 17th and final international cap in a 0–0 draw with Austria in Vienna. After 91 league appearances, Curtis moved to Torquay United, signing in August 1966. However, his move to Plainmoor was not a great success as in his only season he made just 12 league appearances, scoring just a single goal. In June 1967 he returned to Exeter City, where his league career was to end after a further 66 league appearances in which he scored 10 goals. He later played non-league football for Bideford. Curtis died in Exeter on 1 November 2008, after a long illness.

title: Dosage form

abstract: Dosage forms are pharmaceutical drug products presented in a specific form for use. They contain a mixture of active ingredients and inactive components (excipients), configured in a particular way and apportioned into a specific dose. For example, two products may both be amoxicillin, but one may come in 500 mg capsules, while another may be in 250 mg chewable tablets. The term unit dose can also refer to non-reusable packaging, particularly when each drug product is individually packaged. However, the FDA differentiates this by referring to it as unit-dose "packaging" or "dispensing". Depending on the context, multi(ple) unit dose may refer to multiple distinct drug products packaged together or a single product containing multiple drugs and/or doses.

# Dosage form

**Dosage forms** (also called **unit doses**) are pharmaceutical drug products presented in a specific form for use. They contain a mixture of active ingredients and inactive components (excipients), configured in a particular way (such as a capsule shell) and apportioned into a specific dose. For example, two products may both be amoxicillin, but one may come in 500 mg capsules, while another may be in 250 mg chewable tablets.

The term **unit dose** can also refer to non-reusable packaging, particularly when each drug product is individually packaged. However, the FDA differentiates this by referring to it as *unit-dose "packaging" or "dispensing"*. Depending on the context, *multi(ple) unit dose* may refer to multiple distinct drug products *packaged* together or a *single* product containing multiple drugs and/or doses.

## Formulations

The term **dosage form** may also sometimes refer only to the pharmaceutical formulation of a drug product's constituent substances, without considering its final configuration as a consumable product (e.g., capsule, patch, etc.). Due to the somewhat ambiguous nature and overlap of these terms within the pharmaceutical industry, caution is advisable when discussing them with others who may interpret the terminology differently.

## Types

Dosage forms vary depending on the method/route of administration, which can include many types of liquid, solid, and semisolid forms. Common dosage forms include pills, tablets, capsules, drinks, and syrups, among others.

A combination drug (or fixed-dose combination; FDC) is a product that contains more than one active ingredient (e.g., one tablet, one capsule, or one syrup with multiple drugs).

In naturopathy, dosages can take the form of decoctions and herbal teas, in addition to the more conventional methods mentioned above.

## Route of administration

The route of administration (ROA) for drug delivery depends on the dosage form of the substance. Different dosage forms may be available for a particular drug, especially if certain conditions restrict the ROA. For example, if a patient is unconscious or experiencing persistent nausea and vomiting, oral administration may not be feasible, necessitating the use of alternative routes, such as inhalational, buccal, sublingual, nasal, suppository, or parenteral.

A specific dosage form may also be required due to issues such as chemical stability or pharmacokinetic properties. For instance, insulin cannot be given orally because it is extensively metabolized in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) before it reaches the bloodstream, preventing it from reaching therapeutic target destinations. Similarly, the oral and intravenous doses of a drug like paracetamol differ for the same reason.

## Oral

## Ophthalmic

## Inhalation

### Unintended ingredients

Talc is an excipient often used in pharmaceutical tablets that may end up being crushed to a powder against medical advice or for recreational use. Also, illicit drugs that occur as white powder in their pure form are often cut with cheap talc. Natural talc is cheap but contains asbestos while asbestos-free talc is more expensive. Inhaled talc that has asbestos is generally accepted as being able to cause lung cancer if it is inhaled. The evidence about asbestos-free talc is less clear, according to the American Cancer Society.

## Injection

### Parenteral

These are usually solutions and suspensions.

### Unintended ingredients

#### Safe

Eye drops (normal saline in disposable packages) are distributed to syringe users by needle exchange programs.

#### Unsafe

The injection of talc from crushed pills has been associated with pulmonary talcosis in intravenous drug users.

## Topical

### Unintended use

* It is not safe to calculate divided doses by cutting and weighing medical skin patches, because there's no guarantee that the substance is evenly distributed on the patch surface. For example, fentanyl transdermal patches are designed to slowly release the substance over 3 days. It is well known that cut fentanyl transdermal consumed orally have cause overdoses and deaths.
* Single blotting papers for illicit drugs injected from solvents in syringes may also cause uneven distribution across the surface.

# Amazon Trapeze

The **Amazonian Trapeze** or **Leticia Trapeze** is a geographical corridor located in the extreme south of the Amazonas Department of Colombia, which constitutes the southernmost part of the country and allows it to have banks on the Amazon River. At this end of the department, which extends like a peninsula between Brazil and Peru, is the departmental capital of Leticia.

## Location

The Amazon Trapeze, which emerges from a vaster territory to the north, is one of two parts of the Amazonas Department in Colombia. The Amazon Trapeze is located between the Putumayo River to the north and the Amazon River to the south, and between the border with Brazil to the east and the border with Peru to the west. Thus, a trapezoidal strip of about 50 km in the Putumayo and 100 km in the Amazon and 150 km in length between both rivers is formed. The trapezoidal shape gives the name to this Colombian geographic arm.

The Amazon Trapeze is also the location of the Amacayacu National Park, which contains a great wealth of fauna and flora and one of the main objectives of national and international ecotourism.

## History

The trapeze was originally part of a larger disputed territory between Colombia and Peru, through which the former sought a direct exit towards the Amazon River. During the territorial dispute, the Peruvian government in the town of Leticia established the **Colony of Leticia**, also known as the **Colony of San Antonio**, a project through which the area would be inhabited by Peruvian citizens and thus oppose Colombian claims over the territory. The region's current borders came into existence as a result of the Salomón–Lozano Treaty signed between Colombia and Peru in 1922, which established the modern Colombia–Peru border, ending a longstanding dispute that existed since the independence of both states. Local dissatisfaction with the treaty, however, led up to the Colombia–Peru War in 1932, the last conflict between both states.

Once hostilities between both states met a final end, the first arrival of Colombian settlers took place in 1930.

## Human settlement

The Colombian towns of Leticia (capital of the department of Amazonas) and Puerto Nariño, both on the banks of the Amazon River, and the city of Tarapacá on the banks of the Putumayo River, are all in the Trapeze. Also in the region are protected indigenous settlements.
