“…We report 1.7 GHz Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations of IRAS F10214+4724, a lensed z=2.3 obscured quasar with prodigious star formation. We detect what we argue to be the obscured active nucleus with an effective angular resolution of &lt; 50 pc at z = 2.3 . …”

Voltaire by Leigh, J

“…Moreover, innovative works like the <em>Henriade</em> and <em>Candide</em>, which fall into this category, prove as influential to historians as Voltaire’s recognised histories. Voltaire’s prodigious energy and versatility in fields other than history have probably harmed his reputation as a historian when, already in the eighteenth century, historians were increasingly expected to be specialists. …”
