This Day in Legal History: Warsaw Pact States Join NATOOn March 12, 1999, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland became the first former Warsaw Pact countries to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). This historic moment marked a significant shift in the post-Cold War security landscape, as these nations formally aligned with the Western military alliance nearly a decade after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Their accession symbolized a decisive break from their communist past and reinforced their commitment to democratic governance, rule of law, and collective defense.The expansion was not without controversy. Russia viewed NATO's eastward growth as a threat to its sphere of influence, deepening tensions that would continue into the 21st century. However, for the newly admitted countries, NATO membership provided critical security assurances against potential aggression, particularly given their historical experiences with Soviet domination. The accession process required extensive military and political reforms, ensuring that these nations met NATO's standards for democracy, civilian control of the military, and defense readiness.The inclusion of the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland set the stage for further NATO enlargement, with additional Eastern European countries joining in subsequent years. It also reinforced NATO's role as a stabilizing force in Europe during a period of geopolitical uncertainty. The decision underscored the alliance's post-Cold War mission of promoting security and democracy beyond its original Western European membership. Today, this expansion remains a key milestone in the ongoing debate over NATO's role in global security and its relationship with Russia.The removal of Special Counsel Hampton Dellinger has raised concerns about the politicization of the Office of Special Counsel (OSC), an independent agency that protects federal whistleblowers. Dellinger, who was dismissed by President Trump without explanation, initially challenged his firing but later withdrew his case after a federal appellate court sided with the administration. His removal highlights the administration's broader efforts to exert control over independent agencies, a move that legal experts warn could undermine their impartiality.During his tenure, Dellinger was an advocate for federal workers, helping reinstate over 5,000 Department of Agriculture employees who were improperly fired. His dismissal is expected to weaken the OSC's role in protecting workers from political retaliation. Legal scholars suggest that unless the Supreme Court intervenes, the precedent set by his firing could give future presidents greater authority over independent agencies.The case also ties into a broader legal battle over presidential power, as courts are reviewing Trump's terminations of other agency officials, including members of the National Labor Relations Board and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. While Dellinger had legal grounds to challenge his firing, he strategically chose not to pursue the case, allowing stronger challenges—such as that of NLRB member Gwynne Wilcox—to take precedence.The legal debate is moving toward a potential Supreme Court review of Humphrey's Executor v. United States, a 1935 decision that limits the president's power to remove independent agency officials. If overturned, the ruling could significantly expand presidential authority over such agencies.Dellinger Exit Deepens OSC Politicization as Workers Lose AllyA U.S. judge will hold a hearing on Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil's challenge to his arrest by immigration authorities, a case that has sparked protests and political debate. Khalil, a Palestinian student and U.S. permanent resident, was arrested outside his university residence by Homeland Security agents. The Trump administration has accused him—without providing any evidence—of supporting Hamas, though Khalil has not been charged with any crime.Judge Jesse Furman has temporarily blocked Khalil's deportation and may order his release if his rights were violated. However, an immigration court—not Furman—would ultimately decide whether Khalil can be deported, a process that could take years. Khalil's lawyers argue that his arrest is political retaliation for his pro-Palestinian activism and violates his First Amendment rights. His detention in Louisiana has limited his legal access, and his wife, who is eight months pregnant, has spoken out against his treatment.The case raises broader legal questions about the intersection of free speech and immigration law, particularly as Trump has vowed to deport foreign students involved in pro-Palestinian protests. Khalil's arrest has triggered demonstrations and condemnation from Democratic lawmakers, who view it as political repression.Judge to hold hearing over Columbia student protester's challenge to arrest | ReutersA major real estate brokerage, Howard Hanna Real Estate Services, has asked a U.S. judge in Missouri to recuse himself from an antitrust lawsuit due to political donations made to his wife's campaign by the plaintiffs' lawyers. The lawsuit accuses brokerages of conspiring to inflate real estate commissions, and plaintiffs have already won significant settlements in related cases.Howard Hanna argues that the donations create an appearance of impropriety, requiring Judge Stephen Bough's recusal under ethics rules. Bough had previously disclosed the donations and offered to step down in an earlier case, but no party requested his removal at the time. Plaintiffs' lawyer Michael Ketchmark dismissed the recusal request as meritless and a delay tactic after Howard Hanna had lost key motions.Bough's courtroom previously hosted a landmark jury verdict in a related antitrust case, leading to over a billion dollars in settlements with brokerages and the National Association of Realtors. The judge's decision on whether to step aside could impact the trajectory of ongoing real estate antitrust litigation.US judge in brokerage antitrust case faces recusal bid over political donations | ReutersNew Jersey is poised to increase its angel investor tax credit (AITC) from 20% to 35% of investment costs, with a $35 million annual cap. Given the limited funds, ensuring the credit is effectively allocated is essential. However, the proposed bill includes “carbon footprint reduction technology” as an eligible category, which could allow carbon capture projects to qualify. Critics argue that carbon capture is neither emerging nor effective—it is costly, inefficient, and largely benefits fossil fuel companies by prolonging their operations rather than reducing emissions.Instead of funding speculative or ineffective technologies, the state should prioritize investments in proven decarbonization strategies like renewable energy, battery storage, and energy efficiency improvements. These sectors have demonstrated cost savings, emissions reductions, and job creation without the need for indefinite subsidies. Tightening the AITC eligibility criteria would prevent resources from being diverted to projects with questionable climate benefits.By refining its definition of eligible technologies, New Jersey can maximize the impact of its tax credit, ensuring funds support tangible climate and economic progress. States that design smart, targeted incentives will attract startups and clean energy investments, while those that fund vague or ineffective projects risk falling behind. As federal climate incentives remain uncertain, state policies will play a crucial role in shaping the future of clean energy investment.New Jersey Should Tighten Its Angel Investor Credit Eligibility This is a public episode.

This week's Misfit Entrepreneur is Chris Wright. We've had multiple guests on the show talking about the growth of AI and the benefits of it, but what about the potential downsides? In a world where AI can create videos and deep fakes of anyone in seconds or access individual's data from social platforms and other sources and use it: how do you protect yourself and keep control of your data, personal information, and other valuable online assets? Those are exactly the questions I had been asking myself when I was introduced to Chris Wright. Chris is a former US Army attack helicopter pilot, entrepreneur, and founder of the AI Trust Council. The AITC is building a pro-human social networking platform that helps users distinguish real from fake online. Its goal is to give users control of their meta data to create passive income and provide a mechanism to help steer the direction of A.I. The council aims to ensure humans are empowered with the tools necessary to establish trust to build a pro human future. I think this is one of the most important topics for entrepreneurs to understand and find opportunity in over the next decade and Chris is on the bleeding edge, so I asked him on the discuss how we can not only protect ourselves, but also maximize our potential in the age of AI.

The Angel Investor Tax Credit (AITC) program incents investors to invest in Kansas start-up businesses. In exchange for investing in a participating start-up businesses, an investor can receive a tax credit equal to up to 50% of their investment. As part of this audit, we surveyed investors and businesses that participated in the AITC program. The purpose of the surveys was to learn how the program influenced investors' and businesses' behaviors. Investors who responded to our survey told us the program caused them to invest more or sooner in participating businesses. Businesses who responded to our survey told us the program helped them do more than they otherwise would have been able to (e.g., hiring more staff or offering more products). As part of this audit, we also evaluated whether Commerce implemented a process to make sure participating businesses stayed in Kansas as required by state law. We determined Commerce had implemented a process, but the process has room for improvement.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.03.31.535032v1?rss=1 Authors: Koida, K., Komatsu, H. Abstract: Within the anterior inferior temporal cortex (AIT) there is a cluster of color selective neurons whose activities correlate with color discrimination behavior. To examine the causal relationship between the activities of these neurons and behavior, we applied electrical microstimulation to modulate neuronal activities within the AIT. We trained monkeys to perform a color judgment task and evaluated the effect of microstimulation in terms of the horizontal shift of the psychometric function. We found large effects of microstimulation on color discrimination behavior, predominantly within a subregion of the AIT. The cortical extent where microstimulation modulated behavior correlated with the presence of color-selective neurons. Unexpectedly, the direction of the modulation of color judgment evoked by microstimulation correlated negatively with the preference of the neurons around the stimulation site. These results support the existence of an anterior inferior temporal color-selective area (AITC) and its causal relationship with the color perception of these animals.

What can architecture do in the time of a pandemic? What is an architecture of medical necessity? This week, we talk with Michael Murphy of MASS Design Group to discuss architecture in the time of COVID-19.

In this episode, which is twelfth in the podcast series launched by ADR, we look at the donations from corporates (above Rs 20,000) to National parties for the FY 2018-19. Political parties considered in this analysis are BJP, INC, NCP, CPM & AITC. Though a National party, BSP has not been considered for analysis as the party has declared that it received no voluntary contributions above Rs 20,000 from any donor during this period as well as during the time period since 2004. CPI did not declare any income from corporates for FY 2018-19 and hence has not been taken up for analysis for this period. Donations from corporates to National parties increased by 133% from the period between 2004-12 to 2018-19.

  This week we end our miniseries Architecture in the Time of Coronavirus with Grounded founder and Principal Architect Anjali Mangalgiri. The discussion touches on motherhood, architectural thinking, sustainability, and Anjali’s memories that led her to pursue architecture.  

This week we continue our ongoing miniseries Architecture in the Time of Coronavirus with two distinct discussions. The first conversation, with Rachel Minnery, AIA, asks what does it mean to plan in the face of unknowable risk? The second, with Patrick MacLeamy, former CEO of HOK, discusses the history and culture of HOK, the future of design firms in a changing world, and firm strategies during a recessive economy.

This week, we sit down with Lydia Kallipoliti, an award-winning architect, engineer, scholar and curator and an Assistant Professor at the Cooper Union in New York. The conversation traverses many scales - from the individual to the environment and world - looking closely at the culture of hygiene and the architecture of confinement and how these technologies are connected to the politics of the body in the time of Coronavirus.

The Architecture in the Time of Coronavirus miniseries continues this week with Frankfurt-based educator, theorist, and architect Nikolaus Hirsch. Host Vikram Prakash and Nikolaus Hirsch speculate on the architecture school of the future, posthumanism as a framework for transdisciplinary practices, and question what architecture is and could be.

This week we continue our ongoing miniseries Architecture in the Time of Coronavirus with two distinct, yet parallel discussions. The first conversation, with Benedikt Hartl of Opposite Office, probes the possibilities in future-driven narrative architecture to achieve sustainability and resiliency in the face of climate change, pandemics, and the unknown. The second, with Ryan Scavnicky of Extra Office, discusses the internet meme as a tool for critiquing and reframing the culture around architecture and looks to Object-Oriented Ontology as a philosophical framework for speculation in architecture.

This week we continue our ongoing miniseries Architecture in the Time of Coronavirus with architects and educators Anuradha Mathur and Dilip Da Cunha. Here, the discussion touches on Mathur and Da Cunha’s concept of wetness - a re-writing of what it means to live in relationship to water - and what it means for architecture and ecological thinking in the time of Coronavirus.

This week we continue our ongoing miniseries Architecture in the Time of Coronavirus with architect, biomimicist and educator Ilaria Mazzoleni. In this chat we see that the “eco-laboratory” is an apt metaphor to describe the body, architecture, and manifestations of “living” at various scales.

This week we continue our ongoing miniseries Architecture in the Time of Coronavirus with urban theorist AbdouMaliq Simone where we discuss his work on inter-relational subjectivities in the creation of new urban conditions, his personal response and experience with the Corona virus, and his response to the protests around Black Lives Matter.

You love to see it! A last gasp winner at the AMEX in the Premier League to seal all 3 points. It doesn't get better than that. We cover the game itself, AITC, Schelottos long way back and the police ruining an Ajax away day.

After five years of hassling, Danny Cullip finally relented and joined the returning Guy Butters in the Kemp Town studio - initially for a chat about Albion In The Community and the Brussels to Cologne bike ride. However, what we got was a trawl through Danny's and Guy's careers, both at the Albion and pre- and post-Brighton. Some fabulous stories, fascinating philosophies and consideration from over the past 25 / 30 years of their respective careers. And we managed to fit in talking about their award-winning roles at AITC - and how they were tricked into coming to the awards ceremony... This is 99 minutes of great stuff every Albion fan should listen to. Cover pic - © Paul Hazlewood

Martin Perry swung by the studio to give the latest on the Monk's Farm development at Lancing, which includes around 600 new houses, a primary school and an IKEA store. Plus he pays tribute to the individuals on the Falmer For All team, as well as all other fans for their hard work in all aspects of Brighton's campaign and journey, plus some of his own recollections of his time as a director over the past 20 years. And the home game against Everton is an AITC takeover day. So please bring a pound. And Phil gave Ady another impossible tongue-twister for Shirt of the Week.

AITC hosted from gourmet chocolate shop MariBelle in SOHO & features stories about BEHIND THE BOOK, THE ROLLING STONES Exhibit, Broadway Musical CATS, Designer Hochi Asiatico, The Museum at Eldridge Street and bowling at Whitestone Lanes & Bowlmor.

TRPA1 ist ein Kationenkanal aus der Familie der "transient receptor potential" (TRP)-Kanäle. Die Expression und Funktion dieses Ionenkanals wurde bisher hauptsächlich in neuronalen Zellen, insbesondere in Schmerzneuronen, untersucht. Dort übt TRPA1 eine Warnfunktion aus und fungiert als Sensormolekül für Reizstoffe. Dementsprechend wird TRPA1 durch eine Reihe von irritativen oder toxischen Substanzen direkt aktiviert, z. B. durch Allylisothiocyanat (AITC), Formalin, Zigarettenrauch, Tränengas oder Ozon. Im Einklang mit dieser Funktion wurde eine neuronale Expression von TRPA1 in vielen Grenzflächen des Körpers, z. B. in der Haut, im Gastrointestinaltrakt oder in der Lunge gefunden. Im Respirationstrakt konnte TRPA1 in sensorischen Nervenendigungen in den luftleitenden Atemwegen nachgewiesen werden, wo seine Aktivierung durch inhalative Schadstoffe mit entzündlichen und asthmatoiden Reaktionen in Verbindung gebracht wird. Im Gegensatz zur gut charakterisierten Rolle von TRPA1 in Neuronen ist bisher noch relativ wenig über die Expression von TRPA1 in non-neuronalen Zellen bekannt. Auch eine Funktion von TRPA1 in Tumoren ist bisher weitgehend unerforscht. In dieser Arbeit wurde eine Reihe von Zelllinien des Kleinzelligen Bronchialkarzinoms (engl.: "small cell lung cancer", SCLC) im Hinblick auf die Expression von TRP-Kanälen und im Speziellen von TRPA1 untersucht. Dabei zeigte sich, dass TRPA1 in SCLC-Zelllinien exprimiert wird und seine Aktivierung zur Stimulierung von Tumor-relevanten Signalkaskaden führt. Die Aktivierung von TRPA1 durch AITC oder durch ein wässriges Extrakt aus Zigarettenrauch führte in diesen Zellen zu einer Erhöhung der intrazellulären Calciumionenkonzentration ([Ca2+]i). Diese Ca2+-Erhöhung erwies sich als transmembranärer Ca2+-Einstrom und konnte von TRPA1-Inhibitoren blockiert werden. Darüber hinaus führte die TRPA1-abhängige Erhöhung der [Ca2+]i zu einer Aktivierung der extrazellulär signalregulierten Kinase ERK1/2 über einen Src-abhängigen Mechanismus. Des Weiteren wirkte eine TRPA1-Aktivierung in SCLC-Zellen anti-apoptotisch und förderte das Überleben der Zellen in serumfreiem Medium. Umgekehrt hatte die siRNA-vermittelte Herunterregulierung von TRPA1 eine schwere Wachstumsreduzierung von SCLC-Zellen in semisolidem Medium zur Folge. Die potentielle tumorbiologische Relevanz dieser Befunde wird durch die Tatsache unterstrichen, dass in humanen Tumorproben von Patienten mit SCLC eine gegenüber non-SCLC-Proben und normalem Lungengewebe deutlich erhöhte TRPA1-Expression zu verzeichnen war. Interessanterweise fand sich eine funktionelle Expression von TRPA1 außerdem auch in zwei Pankreaskarzinom-Zelllinien sowie einer Lungenzelllinie mit Alveolarzell-Typ-II-Charakteristika. Die Tatsache, dass eine Aktivierung von TRPA1 das Überleben von SCLC-Zellen förderte, weist auf potentielle Tumor-promovierende Wirkungen von TRPA1-Aktivatoren hin. Bekanntermaßen stimulieren zahlreiche Inhaltsstoffe des Tabakrauchs den TRPA1-Kanal und Nikotinabusus ist einer der Hauptfaktoren bei der Entstehung des SCLC. Insofern weist die vorliegende Untersuchung auf einen möglichen neuen Signalweg hin, der neben den etablierten genotoxischen Effekten von Tabakrauch für die Entstehung von Lungentumoren wichtig ist. Weiterhin sind die hier vorgestellten Befunde ein Anknüpfungspunkt für weitere Studien zur Rolle von TRPA1 im Pankreaskarzinom und in epithelialen Zellen in der Lunge.
