  BBC NEWS | World | Europe | Analysis: Ukraine's youths rise up
Pora is the latest manifestation of Ukrainian political discontent, with its most immediate origins in the nationalist and democratic protest groups of the late 1990s.
Pora is energetic, well-motivated and at ease with information technology, as one might expect from a movement dominated by young urban professionals.
Pora provided an impetus, but hundreds of thousands of people who took to the streets and camped out in freezing conditions to demand fair elections did so at their own initiative and not through a summons.

 CDC - PorA Variable Regions of Neisseria meningitidis
In the absence of a comprehensive vaccine against this organism, the characterization of its variable surface antigens is important for epidemiologic monitoring and vaccine development (2).
The two PorA variable regions (VR1 and VR2) that confer the subtypes are especially important because they elicit bactericidal antibodies in humans (4).
To accommodate subtypes identified on the basis of sequence data alone, the scheme originally developed for MAb reactivity data (3) was modified so that VR families and variants were assigned on the basis of amino acid sequence relationships rather than their reactivity with specific MAbs.

 Maidan - News - Victorious Road to a Defeat?
“PORA!” activists themselves talk reluctantly and with reservations about the division into “yellows” and “fls.” The arguments vary from “this division is imaginary,” to recognition that the activists of both — especially in the regions — are often the very same people.
On the other hand, “PORA!” activists fear that calling attention to certain differences between two organisations could be perceived by many as proof of a “rupture” in “PORA!” and consequently, this would lead to disappointment and would thus only harm the common cause.
Afterwards, yellow stickers with the “Pora” logo, in which the letter “o” was appeared as a clock indicating quarter to twelve, could be seen in many cities as well as on the young men and women wearing yellow “Pora” bands at virtually all demonstrations in which Viktor Yushchenko participated.
