4NCL

The 4NCL, or Four Nations Chess League, is a chess league in the United Kingdom and named after its four nations: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. However, the league is truly international, with players from as many as 27 different countries taking part. It is the United Kingdom's foremost chess league, run independently as a limited company and outside of the control of the individual nations' chess governing bodies.

The format of the 4NCL might be described as a prestigious team tournament, held annually, over a number of weekends (October through May), at a variety of venues in the South and Midlands of England. It is run on a league basis, containing four divisions and about 600 players. As an event, it is in many ways comparable to the French Nationale and long established German Bundesliga.

Some prize money is on offer, but the top teams seek to attract outside sponsorship and this occasionally allows them to secure the services of the world's leading grandmasters, typically for critical end of season clashes. Players of the calibre of Michael Adams, Nigel Short, Viktor Korchnoi, Alexander Morozevich, Alexei Shirov and Peter Svidler have participated in recent years.

  • Nucleolin

    Nucleolin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NCL gene.

    Gene

    The human NCL gene is located on chromosome 2 and consists of 14 exons with 13 introns and spans approximately 11kb. The intron 11 of the NCL gene encodes a small nucleolar RNA, termed U20.

    Function

    Nucleolin (NCL), a eukaryotic nucleolar phosphoprotein, is involved in the synthesis and maturation of ribosomes. The protein is located mainly in dense fibrillar regions of the nucleolus.

    Nucleolin is also able to act as a transcriptional coactivator with Chicken Ovalbumin Upstream Promoter Transcription Factor II (COUP-TFII).

    Clinical significance

    Midkine and pleiotrophin bind to cell-surface nucleolin as a low affinity receptor. This binding can inhibit HIV infection.

    Nucleolin at the cell surface is the receptor for the Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) fusion protein. Interference with the nucleolin - RSV fusion protein interaction has been shown to be therapeutic against RSV infection in cell cultures and animal models.

    Een Beetje Vrede (holland-version Of ''ein Bisschen Frieden'')

    by: Nicole

    Net als een pop afgedankt door de kind
    Net als een blad afgerukt door de wind
    Net als een visje dat bijt in een haak
    Zo voel ik mij o zo vaak
    Dan zie ik de wolken zo dreigend en grauw
    En hoor ik de kreet van een vogel in 't nauw
    De regen die valt en de zon zie ik niet
    Dan zing ik wat bang mijn lied
    refrain:
    Een beetje vrede, een beetje liefde, voor deze wereld waarop wij wonen
    Een beetje vrede, een beetje vreugde, er over dromen dat doe ik al
    Een beetje vrede, een beetje liefde, dat er weer hoop is voor alle mensen
    Een beetje vrede, een beetje vreugde, toe laat ons wensen dat komen zal
    Ik ben maar een meisje dat zingt wat ze voelt
    En in een lied zegt wat ze bedoelt
    Ik ben soms alleen als een meeuw in de wind
    Die voelt dat de storm begint
