Togwotee Pass (pronounced toe'-ga-tee) (el. 9658 ft/2944 m) is a mountain pass located on the Great continental divide in the Absaroka Mountains of the United States, between the towns of Dubois and Moran Junction, Wyoming in the Jackson Hole valley. U.S. Highway 287 and U.S. Highway 26 cross the pass, which is located approximately 25 miles (40 km) east of Moran Junction. The pass provides the most direct access to Grand Teton National Park from eastern Wyoming. Located between Two Oceans Mountain and Brecca Peak, sweeping vistas of the Teton Range are visible from the western slopes of the pass. The pass is located in the Bridger-Teton National Forest and adjacent to Shoshone National Forest. The pass receives heavy winter snowfall and is a top destination for snowmobiling and cross-country skiing. Snowfall at the pass often exceeds 25 feet (760 cm) (reports of over 50 feet (15 m) of snow are also known) in any given winter and the road can be shut down for days at a time during blizzards. The Continental Divide Snowmobile Trail passes through the immediate area. The pass is named for Togwotee, a subchief under Chief Washakie of the Sheepeater tribe, a branch of the Shoshones. Togwotee led a U.S. government exploratory expedition over this pass in 1873. A ski run (mainly a traverse) at the Jackson Hole ski resort is also named Togwotee Pass. | Place | NaturalPlace | MountainPass |
The Wright's Ferry Bridge carries U.S. Route 30 (US 30) over the Susquehanna River between Columbia and Wrightsville, Pennsylvania. The \"Wright's Ferry\" its name commemorates was the first ferry across the Susquehanna River. The bridge is considered the fifth Columbia–Wrightsville Bridge; the fourth one it complements still carries Lincoln Highway traffic. Also known informally and locally as the Route 30 bridge, it was commissioned by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the 1960s to relocate US 30 and bypass the river towns of Wrightsville and Columbia. Construction started in March 1969 with G.A. & F.C. Wagman, Inc. as the general contractor. The bridge was completed in 1972 at a cost of $12 million and opened November 21, 1972 under its present commemorative historical name, with Wright's Ferry being both the historic ferry's and one of Columbia's former names. It is constructed of reinforced concrete and steel and has 46 equal sections on 45 piers. US 30 crosses it as a divided four-lane roadway. About a year after its opening, the bridge was shut down briefly so that an experimental weather-resistant coating could be applied to its roadway. Tolls were never collected on this bridge, the sixth to have crossed the river in this general location. | Place | RouteOfTransportation | Bridge |
The Wide Field Infrared Explorer (WIRE) was a satellite launched on March 5, 1999, on the Pegasus XL rocket into polar orbit between 409 and 426 km (254 and 265 mi) above the Earth's surface. WIRE was intended to be a four-month infrared survey of the entire sky at 21-27 micrometres and 9-15 micrometres, specifically focusing on starburst galaxies and luminous protogalaxies. The science team was based at the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center in Pasadena, California. Flight operations, integration, and testing were from Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. The telescope was built by Space Dynamics Laboratories in Utah. Premature ejection of the spacecraft aperture cover led to depletion of the solid hydrogen cryogen shortly after launch, ending the primary science mission. The onboard star tracker remained functional, and has been used for long-term precision photometric monitoring of bright stars in support of an asteroseismology program. On May 10, 2011 (around 07:00 UTC), WIRE reentered Earth's atmosphere, according to the mission website. | Place | Satellite | ArtificialSatellite |

Its president is Denis Verdini, a senator from Tuscany.

The ballata (plural: ballate) is an Italian poetic and musical form in use from the late 13th to the 15th century. It has the musical structure AbbaA, with the first and last stanzas having the same texts. It is thus most similar to the French musical 'forme fixe' virelai (and not the ballade as the name might otherwise suggest). The first and last \"A\" is called a ripresa, the \"b\" lines are piedi (feet), while the fourth line is called a \"volta\". Longer ballate may be found in the form AbbaAbbaA, etc. Unlike the virelai, the two \"b\" lines usually have exactly the same music and only in later ballate pick up the (formerly distinctly French) first and second (open and close) endings. The term comes from the verb ballare, to dance, and the form certainly began as dance music. The ballata was one of the most prominent secular musical forms during the trecento, the period often known as the Italian ars nova. Ballate are sung at the end of each day of Boccaccio's Decameron (only one musical setting of these poems, by Lorenzo da Firenze, survives). Early ballate, such as those found in the Rossi Codex are monophonic. Later, ballate are found for two or three voices. The most notable composer of ballate is Francesco Landini, who composed in the second half of the 14th century. Other composers of ballata include Andrea da Firenze, a contemporary of Francesco Landini, as well as Bartolino da Padova, Johannes Ciconia, Prepositus Brixiensis and Zacara da Teramo. In the 15th century both Arnold de Lantins and Guillaume Dufay wrote ballate; they were among the last to do so. | TopicalConcept | Genre | MusicGenre |

Trogulus tricarinatus is a species of harvestman. It is found in Europe and North America. T. tricarinatus grows to between 7 and 9mm in both sexes. The second pair of legs grow to 8mm. The body is flattened and narrow. The legs are short and robust, with the front two pairs having two segments and the back two three. Immature specimens are violet in colour. They pass through six moults over a period of up to nine months before reaching adulthood. This harvestman is widespread in Europe (excluding Scandinavia) and has been introduced into North America. It is rare in Britain, usually found only in the south. It is generally found in calcareous areas, and is often found in leaf litter. It moves slowly and is usually covered in particles of dirt. The openings of the scent glands in this species are not visible and the glands appear to have a non-defensive role. T. tricarinatus feeds on snails and lays eggs in the empty shells. It also feeds on insects and earthworms. It is similar to the smaller Anelasmocephalus cambridgei. | Species | Animal | Arachnid |

Champion Records was a record label in Richmond, Indiana, founded in 1925 by the Starr Piano Company as a division of Gennett Records, which was also in Richmond. Champion released cheaper versions of discs made by Gennett. Its issues included race records and jazz. In 1934 Champion closed and the trademark was sold to Decca Records, which brought the label back from 1935 to 1936. A third Champion label (along with its sister labels Calvert and Cherokee) was started in the mid-1950s by the songwriter and record producer Ted Jarrett, in partnership with Alan and Reynolds Bubis (formerly of the Tennessee & Republic labels). This Nashville, Tennessee-based label released records by Christine Kittrell, Gene Allison, The Fairfield Four, Earl Gaines, Larry Birdsong, Shy Guy Douglas, Jimmy Beck and Charles Walker, amongst others. Beck released a record on Champion entitled \"Pipe Dreams\" and another, called \"Carnival\" on the Zil label. Champion was out of business by 1960, and other Jarrett labels such as Valdot, Poncello, Spar and Ref-O-Ree followed. All of these companies were acquired by Bluesland Productions in the mid-1990s. A fourth label based in the UK was founded by Mel Medalie in 1980, with an emphasis on soul and dance.

The 1976 Masters Tournament was the 40th Masters Tournament, held April 8–11 at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. Raymond Floyd won his only Masters title, eight strokes ahead of runner-up Ben Crenshaw. He shot a 131 (−13) over the first two rounds, then posted two rounds of 70 on the weekend to tie Jack Nicklaus' record of 271 (−17), set in 1965. In the first three rounds, Floyd was under-par on every par-5, with eleven birdies and an eagle, and his 54-hole total of 201 (−15) was the lowest ever. Defending champion Nicklaus was the nearest pursuer, eight shots back at 209. It was the second of Floyd's four major titles. Tiger Woods broke the 72-hole record by a stroke 21 years later in 1997 with 270 (−18), which was tied by Jordan Spieth in 2015. Beginning with this Masters, a sudden-death playoff format was introduced, and originally planned to start at the first hole. After three years without use, it was changed to begin on the 10th hole in 1979; used for the first time that year, it ended on the eleventh green. In 2004, the playoff was changed to start on the 18th hole and then alternate with the adjacent 10th hole. Prior to 1976, playoffs were full 18-hole rounds on Monday, and the last was won by Billy Casper in 1970. The first playoff in 1935 was the exception at 36 holes. Floyd was the fourth wire-to-wire winner in Masters history, following Craig Wood in 1941, Arnold Palmer in 1960, and Nicklaus in 1972.

Lake George can refer to one of three places in Indiana: \n* Lake George – Steuben County This recreational lake is on the Indiana-Michigan state line, located two-thirds in Steuben County and one-third in Branch County, Michigan. Nearby towns are Angola and Fremont in Indiana and Coldwater and Kinderhook in Michigan. A mill pond and dam built in the 1930s are located at the south end of the lake, where the once-prosperous community of Jamestown is located. Important land features include Brown's Point and Grandy's (also known as Kope Kon) Point. Historical commercial enterprises include Wolfe's (typically called Wolfie's) grocery store at the Mill Pond, Clay's restaurant, Lake George Retreat restaurant, Tom's Donuts and Lake George Marina. The marina was acquired by Dream Toy Store in 2009 and is now called Dream Toy Store at Lake George. It is the only marina on the lake and does not offer boat rentals. The lake is home to the international headquarters of the Inland cat Class Sailing Association and of the Lake George Cottagers Association, established in 1927. Once almost exclusively surrounded by seasonal cottages, the lake is now the year-round home to most residents. Many older cottages and vacation homes are being demolished or completely rebuilt into larger permanent homes. Annual festivals, both held on the Indiana side of the lake, include Big Al's Lakeside Funfest (\"BALF\") in July and Deckfest typically on the weekend prior to Labor Day. It is commonly rumored that John Dillinger and members of his infamous bank-robbing gang hid out on a lake front home that still stands on the lake today. The location was supposedly chosen due to its proximity to the Indiana-Michigan state line, making it easier for the gang to evade local police. \n* Lake George in Hobart – Lake County This recreational lake was formed by the damming of Deep River in 1845 and is a medium-sized lake that winds its way through the city. It is a popular place for people to gather to walk along the city's waterfront. Musical entertainment can be found near the clock tower in Lakefront Park and at the Revelli Bandshell during the warm months. Fishing and boating are two popular lake activities. \n* Lake George in Hammond – Lake County This shrunken lake consisting of a north and south basin is located east of Wolf Lake and Calumet Avenue in the city's Robertsdale neighborhood. The Lake George Trail, a 3.1-mile greenway, bisects the two basins. The Lost March Golf Course, located just south of the lake, has an 18- and 9-hole course, which is managed and maintained by the Hammond Port Authority. The lake was partially filled in when building the main north-south thoroughfares through the city. | Place | BodyOfWater | Lake |

After one year at Southwest Illinois, he was recruited to Kentucky by then-coach Billy Gillispie. Gillispie was fired after Harrellson's first season, and Harrellson played sparingly the next year under new coach John Calipari. Due to the ineligibility of star recruit Enes Kanter, Harrellson received significantly more playing time his senior year, during which he averaged 6.4 points per game and led the Southeastern Conference in rebounding with 8.8 per game. In the 2011 NCAA Tournament, he was named to the All-East Region Team. | Agent | Athlete | BasketballPlayer |

The album's lead single \"Long Day\" was moderately successful, while the album's second single \"Push\" received large amounts of airplay in the United States.

Chicago is a 1926 play written by Maurine Dallas Watkins, that is best known today as the inspiration for the 1975 stage musical Chicago. The play is a satire and was based on two unrelated 1924 court cases involving two women, Beulah Annan and Belva Gaertner, who were both suspected and later acquitted for murder, whom Watkins had covered for the Chicago Tribune as a reporter. The play has been adapted as the 1927 film Chicago, the 1942 film Roxie Hart, and the 1975 stage musical Chicago, which in turn was adapted as the 2002 film Chicago. Watkins wrote the script (originally titled \"Brave Little Woman\") as a class assignment while attending the Yale Drama School. The play debuted on Broadway at the Sam Harris Theatre in late December 1926, directed by George Abbott, where it ran for 172 performances. To avoid confusion with the musical play and rights held by that show's producers and creators, the play is now titled Play Ball when it is performed. | Work | WrittenWork | Play |

The 2016 South African municipal elections were held on 3 August 2016, to elect councils for all district, metropolitan and local municipalities in each of the nine provinces. It was the fifth municipal election held in South Africa since the end of apartheid in 1994; municipal elections are held every five years. The ruling African National Congress (ANC) was the largest party overall, earning 53.9% of the total vote. It was followed by the official opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) with 26.9% and the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) with 8.2%. Popular support for the ANC fell to its lowest level since 1994, a shift which was most pronounced in the country's urban centres. Despite marginal gains in some areas, the ANC lost control of three metropolitan municipalities – namely Nelson Mandela Bay, City of Tshwane and City of Johannesburg – to opposition parties as a result of the election. The DA achieved its best local electoral performance so far, while the EFF, contesting its first local government election, improved on its performance in the 2014 general election. The local polls were widely seen a turning point in the political landscape of South Africa, as the dominance of the ANC was greatly diminished while coalition and minority governments became more widespread. | Event | SocietalEvent | Election |

Battarrea phalloides is an inedible species of mushroom in the family Agaricaceae, and the type species of the genus Battarrea. Known in the vernacular as the scaley-stalked puffball, sandy stiltball, or desert stalked puffball, it has a woody, slender, and shaggy or scaly stem that is typically up to 40 centimeters (15.7 in) in length. Although its general appearance resembles an agaric with stem and gills, atop the stem is a spore sac, consisting of an peridium and a powdery internal gleba. In maturity, the spore sac ruptures to release the spores. Battarrea phalloides is found in dry, sandy locations throughout the world, and has been collected from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America (primarily in western regions), and South America. There is currently some disagreement in the literature as to whether the European B. stevensii is the same species as B. phalloides. | Species | Eukaryote | Fungus |

Space Technology 5 (ST5) of the NASA New Millennium program is a test of ten new technologies aboard a group of microsatellites. Developed by NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, the three small spacecraft were launched separately from the belly of an Lockheed L-1011 aboard the Pegasus XL rocket, on 22 March 2006. One technology involves antennas that were designed by computers using an evolutionary AI system developed at NASA Ames Research Center. The ST5 on-board flight computer, the C&DH (Command & Data Handling) system, is based on a Mongoose-V radiation-hardened microprocessor. On 30 June 2006 the satellites making up ST5 were shut down after successfully completing their technology validation mission. | Place | Satellite | ArtificialSatellite |

An intimidating force within the local community, she is the dowager of Albert Square's central family, the Beales and Fowlers. Never afraid to speak her mind, and woe betide anyone who manages to get on her wrong side, Lou has the respect of her friends and family, even if they do find her a bit of a nuisance at times. | Agent | FictionalCharacter | SoapCharacter |
