Yu graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Radio/TV/Film from Northwestern University and earned a M.A. in Critical Studies from the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts (as a Provost Fellow). Career Yu's commentary has been quoted or featured in The New York Times, NPR, the Los Angeles Times, CNN, The Washington Post, Gawker, and more. Yu previously worked at the Center for Asian American Media in San Francisco, California, and also worked as a content producer for Yahoo! Movies – doing a number of segments for Fast & Furious 6 and other films. He currently serves as a board member for the Los Angeles-based Visual Communications, the annual producers of the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival. Yu appears in Evan Jackson Leong's documentary on Jeremy Lin, Linsanity, which screened at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. He is also an Executive Producer of the action/comedy web series from the National Film Society duo of Patrick Epino and Stephen Dypiangco entitled Awesome Asian Bad Guys. Yu received the 2012 Salute to Champions Award from the Japanese American Citizens League. He is also a recipient of the 2011 Asian Pacific Islander Heritage Award for Excellence in New Media from the California Asian Pacific Islander Legislative Caucus, the 2011 Public Image Award from Asian Americans Advancing Justice, and the 2011 Excellence in Media Award from OCA-Greater Los Angeles. In 2016, Yu received the Voice Award from the V3 Digital Media Conference, presented by the Asian American Journalists Association. Controversy As of February 17, 2015, Yu is involved in a trademark and copyright infringement dispute with Lela Lee of Angry Little Asian Girl. The dispute was recently made public on each of their respective blogs. Both parties have since removed their blog posts in regards to the subject after an intensifying response from the public. There appears to be no resolution at this time.

"Amar Rouaï (March 9, 1932 – November 11, 2017) was a former Algerian international football player and manager. From 1958 to 1962, he was a member of the FLN football team. Club career Rouaï began his career with MC El Eulma, making his debut with the senior team while aged 15. After five years with MC El Eulma, he moved to France to embark on a professional career. After two seasons with US Annemasse, he signed his first professional contract with Besançon. In 1957, he joined Ligue 1 side Angers, making 27 appearances and scoring 7 goals. However, at the end of the season, he secretly left the team to join the FLN football team. In 1962, after Algeria gained its independence, Rouaï returned to Angers. He made 15 more appearances for the club, scoring 1 goal, before buying out his contract. International career In 1958, Rouaï secretly left Angers to go to Tunisia and join the FLN football team in support of the Algerian independence movement. He spent the next four years traveling and playing with the team. After Algeria gained its independence, he was called up twice to the Algeria national football team. The first, in 1962, was a friendly against French club Nîmes. In the second, on July 4, 1963, he made his official debut in a friendly against Egypt. Death Rouai died in Annemasse at the French-Swiss border on November 11, 2017, at the age of 85.Décès de l’ancienne gloire de l’équipe du FLN Amar Rouai References 1932 births 2017 deaths Footballers from Sétif Algerian footballers Algeria international footballers Algeria under-23 international managers Algerian expatriate footballers Expatriate football managers in Libya Expatriate footballers in France Algerian expatriate sportspeople in France Algerian expatriate sportspeople in Libya Angers SCO players Racing Besançon players Ligue 1 players Ligue 2 players MC El Eulma players USM Bel Abbès players ASM Oran managers JS Kabylie managers MC Oran managers FLN football team players Association football midfielders Algerian football managers "
"Antheraxanthin (from ánthos, Greek for "flower" and xanthos, Greek for "yellow") is a bright yellow accessory pigment found in many organisms that perform photosynthesis. It is a xanthophyll cycle pigment, an oil-soluble alcohol within the xanthophyll subgroup of carotenoids. Antheraxanthin is both a component in and product of the cellular photoprotection mechanisms in photosynthetic green algae, red algae, euglenoids, and plants.Duan S, and Bianchi T, 2006. Seasonal changes in the abundance and composition of plant pigments in particulate organic carbon in the lower Mississippi and Pearl Rivers. Estuaries and Coasts 29, 427-442Sandman, G. 2009. Evolution of carotene desaturation: the complication of a simple pathway. Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics 483, 169–174 In the xanthophyll cycle Antheraxanthin has been found in high levels in sun-exposed dandelions (Taraxacum officianale). Antheraxanthin is an intermediate molecule of the xanthophyll cycle in most photosynthetic eukaryotes, namely plants, and some bacteria. In the xanthophyll cycle, specific carotenoid pigments are transformed via enzymatic reactions into either more or less photoprotective biological pigments.Yamamoto HY, 1979. Biochemistry of the violaxanthin cycle in higher plants. Pure Applied Chemistry 51, 639–648 A plant can increase its capacity for non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) and excess heat dissipation by converting the orange pigment violaxanthin to antheraxanthin and then to light-yellow pigment zeaxanthin.Adir N, Zer H, Shochat S, & Ohad I. 2003. Photoinhibition—a historical perspective. Photosynthesis Research 76, 343–370 The xanthophyll pool, or total xanthophyll cycle pigment levels are sometimes abbreviated as “VAZ” in scientific literature.Krause GH & Weis E, 1991. Chlorophyll fluorescence and photosynthesis: the basics. Annual Review of Plant Physiology and Plant Molecular Biology 42, 313–349 “VAZ” is an abbreviation of the cycle’s main pigments in order of lowest to highest photoprotection each pigment provides. Antheraxanthin is denoted by the “A” in the middle, between violaxanthin (V) and zeaxanthin (Z).Kováč D, et al 2013. Response of green reflectance continuum removal index to the xanthophyll de- epoxidation cycle in Norway spruce needles. Journal of Experimental Botany 64, 1817-1827 Location in thylakoid membrane The xanthophyll cycle takes place, along with other photopigment reactions, in the membranes of thylakoids within chloroplasts.Eskling M, Arvidsson P, & Akerland H, 1997. The xanthophyll cycle, its regulation and components. Physiologia Plantarum 100, 806-816 Antheraxanthin provides more heat and light stability (via NPQ) to the thylakoid membranes than violaxanthin, but less than zeaxanthin.Havaux M, 1998. Carotenoids as membrane stabilizers in chloroplasts. Trends in Plant Science 3, 147-151 Xanthophyll cycle reactions, where antheraxanthin is an intermediate stage, are usually responses to changes in light or radiation exposure, which cause changes in the internal pH of thylakoids. Lessening or heightening photoprotection through the xanthophyll cycle allows plants to regulate their own light uptake for photosynthesis. The majority of chloroplasts are located in a plant's mesophyll tissue cells, just below the epidermis (surface) layer of leaves and stems. Since thylakoids are contained within chloroplasts, antheraxanthin and other photopigments are in their highest concentrations in the leaves of plants under high solar radiation or light/heat exposure. A high-altitude study with dandelions (Taraxacum officianale) in the Andes Mountains found overall high rates of antheraxanthin accumulation in highly exposed leaves on a NW-facing slope at 1600 meter and even higher rates on a summit at 3600 meter.Molina-Montenegro MA, Penuelas J, Munne-Bosch S, & Sardans J, 2012. Higher plasticity in ecophysiological traits enhances the performance and invasion success of Taraxacum officinale (dandelion) in alpine environments. Biology of Invasions 14, 21-33 Enzymes and reactions Antheraxanthin is a partially de-epoxidized (see de- epoxidation) form of violaxanthin. One of violaxanthin’s two epoxide groups are removed from its chemical structure to generate antheraxanthin.Eskling M, Arvidsson P, & Åkerlund H, 1997. The xanthophyll cycle, its regulation and components. Physiologia Plantarum 100, 806-816 For this reason, the xanthophyll cycle is sometimes called the violaxanthin cycle. Violaxanthin de- epoxidase is an enzyme that reduces one epoxide group from violaxanthin into a double bond to create antheraxanthin. It also functions to create zeaxanthin, where it catalyses the reduction of two epoxide groups from violaxanthin. Zeaxanthin epoxidase catalyses the attachment of one epoxide group to zeaxanthin to generate antheraxanthin, and two epoxide groups to generate violaxanthin.
