Dinocampus coccinellae paralysis virus (DcPV) is a single-stranded, positive-sense RNA virus of insects, in the picorna-like virus family "Iflaviridae", which was first characterised in 2015. It asymptomatically infects the parasitic braconid wasp, "Dinocampus coccinellae", and has been proposed to be associated with the paralytic effect the wasp has on its host, the spotted lady beetle, "Coleomegilla maculata", which it turns into a so-called "zombie bodyguard" for its pupa. |
Taxonomy. |
Within the family "Iflaviridae", the DcPV genome is most closely related to "Venturia canescens" picorna-like virus and "Nasonia vitripennis" virus-1. |
Distribution. |
DcPV has been found in "D. coccinellae" from Canada, Japan, Poland and the Netherlands. |
Structure. |
DcPV's 10,138 nucleotide linear RNA has a single large open reading frame, predicted to encode a 3007 residue polyprotein with non-structural helicase, protease and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase functions in the C-terminal portion and four structural proteins (VP1–4) in the N-terminal portion. The 5′ non-translated region contains cloverleaf and hairpin structures similar to those present in picornaviruses and other picorna-like viruses. The virus particle is around 27 nm in diameter. |
Viral life cycle in "D. coccinellae". |
DcPV has not been detected in "D. coccinellae" eggs. After hatching, the level of the virus genome increases throughout the larval stages, where active viral replication is thought to occur. Higher levels are found in adult wasps, considered to represent inactive stocks of virus. The virus particles are located within large vesicles in cells lining the female wasp's oviduct, where they are sometimes observed to form crystalline arrays. The virus has not yet been shown to cause any disease in the wasp, and the two might have a symbiotic relationship. |
Putative effect of DcPV on "C. maculata". |
The "Dinocampus coccinellae" wasp parasitises the lady beetle species "Coleomegilla maculata". The wasp lays a single egg in the beetle's haemocoel where the larva develops, to emerge approximately 20 days later. The wasp larva then pupates with its cocoon underneath the living body of the beetle host. At this point the lady beetle host, which has previously behaved normally, stops moving, is afflicted with twitches or tremors, and becomes a semi-paralysed guardian of the wasp cocoon – often referred to as a "zombie bodyguard" – until the adult wasp emerges a week later. Around a quarter to a third of lady beetles subsequently recover. |
The cause of this dramatic alteration in the beetle's behaviour is unknown. At the time it occurs the parasite and host are no longer in direct contact, as the wasp pupates externally to the lady beetle. Nolwenn Dheilly and co-workers have suggested that the mechanism involves DcPV; some other experts consider that the evidence for this is incomplete. DcPV appears to be transmitted to the lady beetle during wasp larval development, with viral RNA being present in the abdomen and head of parasitised lady beetles, but absent from resistant beetles in which the wasp larvae fail to develop. In beetles that recover from paralysis, the level of virus declines significantly. Virus particles, together with lipid droplets, have been observed in glial cells of the cerebral ganglia in parasitised lady beetles. After the wasp larva emerges from the beetle, signs of neuropathy develop including numerous vacuoles in the beetle glial cells. Dheilly and co-workers speculate that this nervous tissue damage is caused by the beetle's immune response and that it mediates the observed change in behaviour, characterising the virus as a "biological weapon" deployed by the wasp against the beetle. |

Main is an impact crater on Mars, located in the Mare Australe quadrangle at 76.6°S latitude and 310.9°W longitude. It measures 109.0 kilometers in diameter and was named after Rev. Robert Main. The name was approved in 1973, by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature (WGPSN). The floor of Main shows dark portions which are caused by pressurized carbon dioxide blowing dust in the atmosphere in the spring when the temperature goes up. Some of the dust is shaped into streaks if there is a wind. |

The Alaska Immigration Justice Project (AIJP) is a non-profit agency that provides low-cost immigration legal assistance to immigrants and refugees in all immigration applications including citizenship, permanent resident status, work permits, asylum, family-based petitions and immigration petitions for immigrant victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking. |
History. |
The Alaska Immigration Justice Project (AIJP) is the only agency in Alaska dedicated to protecting the human rights of immigrants and refugees. Founded in 2005, AIJP staff provides statewide comprehensive immigration legal services. Collectively, AIJP Board and staff have more than 25 years of legal experience serving Alaska's immigrants and refugees. AIJP staff provides services statewide, traveling to many communities throughout Alaska including, Unalaska, Sitka, Ketchikan, Kodiak, Juneau, Fairbanks, Kenai and Homer. AIJP's legal service priorities include representing immigrant crime victims and people fleeing persecution and torture in their home countries. |
In addition to providing quality direct legal services, AIJP staff members serve as a critical resource for state and federal public agencies on issues involving immigrants and refugees. Health care providers, social service providers, state officials, criminal defense attorneys, prosecutors and judges are just a few of the professionals in our state who rely on the expertise of the AIJP staff. |
In 2007, AIJP opened the first statewide Language Interpreter Center (LIC). The LIC partners the public and private sector to offer statewide training for interpreters as well as provide referral services for all businesses and agencies in need of interpreter services. The LIC works with foreign language interpreters as well as Alaska Native interpreters. |
Mission. |
AIJP's mission is to promote and protect the human rights of immigrants and refugees throughout Alaska by providing critical services to this underserved population, including immigration legal services, language interpretative services, training and educational programs. |
The organization is affiliated with Pro Bono Net, a US nonprofit organization based in New York City and San Francisco. The organization works in close partnership with nonprofit legal aid organizations across the United States and Canada, to increase access to justice for the millions of poor people who face legal problems every year without help from a lawyer. It does this by (i) supporting the innovative and effective use of technology by the nonprofit legal sector, (ii) increasing participation by volunteers, and (iii) facilitating collaborations among nonprofit legal organizations and advocates working on similar issues or in the same region. Founded in 1998 with a grant from the Open Society Institute, Pro Bono Net has developed a broad base of support from foundations, law firms, corporate sponsors and nonprofit partners alike, to build web platforms that offer powerful and sophisticated online tools to pro bono and legal aid advocates, and to provide critical legal information and assistance directly to the public. Its model has been adopted in 30 states and regions, reaching approximately two-thirds of the poverty population and lawyers in the United States. |
The organization is also affiliated with Citizenship"Works", which provides easy-to-use online tools to help low and moderate-income individuals to answer important questions about their eligibility for naturalization, to better understand the naturalization process, and to prepare for the naturalization tests. |
Citizenship"Works" also provides online tools and resources for nonprofits that provide free or low cost naturalization application services. |

Ryder Ripps (born July 7, 1986) is an American conceptual artist, programmer, and creative director. |
Early life and education. |
Ryder Ripps is the son of artist Rodney Ripps and designer Helene Verin. He studied at Eugene Lang College and The New School for Liberal Arts in New York City. |
Career. |
Commercial work. |
Ripps is the creative director of OKFocus, a digital marketing and design agency and has developed content for a number of contemporary musicians, fashion lines, and corporate brands like Nike and Red Bull. |
Ripps has created several websites, including Internet Archeology, Dump.fm, and VFiles. In 2013, Ripps created the branding for Soylent, an open source meal replacement drink. In 2015 he co-produced 2 songs on Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz. In 2018, Ripps began working with Kanye West as a part of West's company DONDA. |
In 2020, Ripps provided creative direction and design for Pop Smoke's posthumous record, "Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon." Controversy surrounding the album's cover artwork was generated after designer Virgil Abloh presented his design on Instagram. Abloh explained in the body of the post that he had based the design on a conversation he had with Pop Smoke prior to his death. In his own Instagram post, Ripps took credit for initially presenting the rose concept and accused Abloh of both misappropriating and mishandling the design. Pop Smoke's mother, whom Ripps credits as the project's primary creative director, collaborated with Ripps on the cover's final design. |
Since 2019, Ripps has directed a number of music videos, and contributed photographs and designs to album artwork and advertising campaigns for Grimes (Miss Anthropocene), James Blake (including for his song "Godspeed"), and Travis Scott. Ripps acted as a creative director for pop star Zara Larsson until he was publicly fired on March 13, 2021, after he body shamed the 23 year old pop star in private messages with Azealia Banks, calling her "Zara Armsson" |
Art work. |
Ripps's fine art practice is described as "art that uses online avenues to expose how social media can amplify narcissism and fear." He was listed in the Forbes '30 under 30' in 2016. |
In a 2014 piece titled "ART WHORE" the Ace Hotel in New York asked Ripps to be an artist-in-residence for 1 night. With a $50 budget, Ripps hired 2 “sensual masseuses” from Craigslist to draw in a hotel room, with Ripps comparing this to his own exploitation as an artist. The project sparked outcry, principally online, "for what they saw as blatant exploitation of women in the sex industry" even though one of the erotic masseuses was male. Critic Paddy Johnson declared it one of the most offensive exhibitions of the year and Rhizome described it as "unthinking, unethical, and dull", but also that "Ripps acted in a way that was ethically unsound: It reinforced and did not interrogate inequitable power relationships." In an interview, Ripps admits he regretted the title he chose. |
Ripps' first solo exhibition took place in January 2015 at Postmasters Gallery in New York City, titled "Ho". It featured large-scale oil painted portraits of digitally manipulated images from the Instagram account of model Adrianne Ho. The show "engages with the ways in which we portray women, tapping into the long history of the manipulation of images in the name of sex and advertisement." However, reception was varied, with one critic writing: "his series is a visceral, knee-jerk way of removing and distorting a vision of female empowerment", and also notes the title of the show is a double entendre, as "ho" is slang for prostitute. |
In 2016, Ripps exhibited "Barbara Lee", an ode to the representative in Congress featuring 50,000 images downloaded from the internet covering a maquette of the Twin Towers at Steve Turner Gallery, Los Angeles. |
In May 2017, Ripps premiered a small installation at the Venice Biennale titled "Diventare Schiavo (Become A Slave)" and featuring VR works, where the public was invited to virtually pack boxes. One writer remarked: "Here, laborious task becomes spectacle, while critiquing the socio-economic hierarchies of such technology." |
In 2018, Ripps, in collaboration with photographer Maggie West, exhibited "Pornhub Nation", a large interactive installation sponsored by Pornhub. The exhibition depicts a future history of the porn site's own government. It provided parodied solutions to the topics of climate change, military occupation, governmental surveillance, and space exploration. |
In January of 2021, Ripps claimed authorship of the Central Intelligence Agency's redesigned logo. The "Art prankster" in an interview with GQ explains: "Social online platforms are games that are played within the attention economy—authorship and sincerity are murky..." On January 5th, 2021, a CIA spokesperson denied Ripps' involvement in the redesign. |
Personal life. |
In February of 2021 Ripps and musician Azealia Banks announced their engagement. They made a sex audio tape and sold it using NFT, which was then up for resale for $260 million. By March, Banks announced they had split up. |
