Strayhorn became an incorporated town in 1900 and remained incorporated for nearly eight years. Strayhorn's first mayor was Frank Bizzell, and F. E.

The Strayhorn community is now served by the Sarah post office.
Even after Strayhorn lost its short-lived incorporated status, the first half of the 20th century saw progress for the small community. In 1932, a drainage canal was dug, which converted nontillable land into land fit for farming. Seven years later, the first electric lights came to Strayhorn, and 1953 saw the construction of a paved highway through the community.

# Ksawery Branicki (1864–1926)

Count Ksawery Władysław Branicki or Xavier Branicki (19 April 1864 – 18 June 1926) was a Polish landowner, nobleman, and naturalist.
Branicki was the son of Count Konstantin Branicki (1824–1884) and Countess Jadwiga Potocka (1827–1916) who owned estate in the Kiev region and the Montresor Castle in France. Branicki was involved in the maintenance of the museum begun by his father and continued to fund the collection of specimens from South America and Africa.

# Celtis tala

Celtis tala (or Celtis ehrenbergiana), known as tala, is a medium size deciduous tree, native to tropical and subtropical South America. With small to medium-sized spines, its one of the main components of the Gran Chaco prairies and certain areas of the Argentinian pampa.

## Morphology

The tala is a medium to large sized tree, sometimes reaching 12m high. According to water availability it may become arboreus or shrubby. It prefers dry or slightly moist, well drained soil. When arboreus the trunk is rather tortuous, nearing 40 cm in diameter. When shrubby, it produces several branched trunks of 20 cm in diameter. Its bark is light colored, gray to brown. The Tala tends to branch abundantly, producing a dense mesh of branches in zigzag patterns, with strong spines in the foliar axis, 1,5 or more, cm long.
The leaves are alternate, petiolate and simple, their base rounded and the margin serrated in the apical region. Leaves are trinervate, acuminate, of a dark green colour. This tree flowers in spring, producing inconspicuous yellowish pentamerous flowers. Since it presents hermaphrodite flowers, it is self-fertile. Tala fruit is a small drupe, 1 cm wide that hangs in short clusters. Not very fleshy and with a proportionally large seed within, it is however very sweet and pleasant to the taste.

## Usage

Though edible by humans there is no market or habit of consumption, and these fruits are mostly eaten by birds and several insect species. It is appreciated by wood workers since its wood is tough and rather heavy. It produces excellent wood fuel. The tala has a rather small trunk, which can only be used for small carved objects. It is used for the handles of hand tools and for small crafts.
# Miramar, Portugal

Indeed, Miramar is home to a number of artists and intellectuals, including Marina Pikoul and David Wyn Lloyd among others. There are many large houses and mansions in Miramar, as well as in the nearby Praia da Aguda and Praia da Granja. Along the beach, there are several cafés ("esplanadas"). Despite its pleasant location, Miramar is not an international tourist destination. However, during the warm summer months, many Portuguese from the surrounding areas of Porto, Gaia and Espinho spend their days at the beach of Miramar, and also at neighbouring beaches of the Costa Verde.

## Sports

Along the beach of Miramar, there is a small 9-hole golf course called Clube de Golf de Miramar.
There is also a private sports club called Sport Clube Alberto de Sousa, best known for its tennis courts.

# Bigram

A bigram or digram is a sequence of two adjacent elements from a string of tokens, which are typically letters, syllables, or words. A bigram is an n-gram for n=2.
The frequency distribution of every bigram in a string is commonly used for simple statistical analysis of text in many applications, including in computational linguistics, cryptography, and speech recognition.
Gappy bigrams or skipping bigrams are word pairs which allow gaps (perhaps avoiding connecting words, or allowing some simulation of dependencies, as in a dependency grammar).

## Applications

Bigrams, along with other n-grams, are used in most successful language models for speech recognition.
Bigram frequency attacks can be used in cryptography to solve cryptograms. See frequency analysis.
Bigram frequency is one approach to statistical language identification.
Some activities in logology or recreational linguistics involve bigrams. These include attempts to find English words beginning with every possible bigram, or words containing a string of repeated bigrams, such as logogogue.

## Bigram frequency in the English language

The frequency of the most common letter bigrams in a large English corpus is:
# Monoxenus bicristatus

Monoxenus bicristatus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Stephan von Breuning in 1939.
It's 10 mm long and 4 mm wide, and its type locality is Kumasi, Ghana.
# Turkey bacon

Turkey bacon is a meat prepared from chopped, formed, cured, and smoked turkey, commonly marketed as a low-fat alternative to pork bacon; it may also be used as a substitute for bacon where religious dietary laws (for example halal in Islam and kashrut in Judaism) forbid the consumption of pork products.

## Preparation

Turkey bacon can be cooked by pan-frying or deep-frying. Cured turkey bacon made from dark meat can be 90% fat free. It can be used in the same manner as bacon (such as in a BLT sandwich), but the low fat content of turkey bacon means it does not shrink while being cooked and has a tendency to stick to the pan, thus making deep-frying a faster and more practical option.

## Alternative to pork bacon

Turkey bacon is lower in fat and calories than pork bacon, but its lower fat content makes it unsuitable in some situations, such as grilling. It is also known as "facon" , which is a portmanteau of the words "fake" and "bacon". As a lower fat alternative, it became popular in America in the early 90s.
Turkey bacon is an alternative also for people who do not eat pork for religious or dietary reasons. Pork is haram (not halal) to Muslims and treyf (not kosher) to Jews. When Beautiful Brands International, a company from Tulsa, Oklahoma, signed a deal with a Saudi Arabian firm to open 120 locations in eight countries in the Middle East, they had to replace pork bacon with halal turkey bacon in their recipes at Camille's Sidewalk Cafe locations because Islamic customs forbid consumption of pork and non-halal meat.

## Nutritional value

Two strips (around 28 grams or approximately 1 ounce) of Butterball turkey bacon contain 3 grams of fat and 50 calories (32% of which from fat); turkey bacon from Louis Rich and Mr. Turkey contain 5 and 4 grams of fat, respectively, per two slices. By comparison, two strips of regular pork bacon contain, on average, some 7 grams of fat. Andrew Smith, in The Turkey: An American Story, notes that turkey products (including turkey bacon) contain, on average twice as much sodium as the pork products they replace.
# Spirit of de Grisogono Diamond

The Spirit of de Grisogono is the world's second-largest cut black diamond, behind the Enigma, and the world's sixth largest diamond overall. Starting at an uncut weight of 587 carats (117.4 g), it was taken from its origin in western Central African Republic to be bought and cut by Fawaz Gruosi. The resulting mogul-cut diamond weighs 312.24 carats (62.448 g) and is set in a white gold ring with 702 smaller white diamonds totaling 36.69 carats (7.338 g). It has since been sold to a private buyer.
# Battle of Nishapur (1038)

The Battle of Nishapur occurred in 1038 when the Seljuk Turks scored a victory over the Ghaznavid army at Nishapur.
In 1035 the Seljuk Turks defeated the Ghaznavids at Nisa. They inflicted another defeat on the Ghaznavids in 1037 at Merv and Herat.
The Seljuk Turks crossed the Oxus river and occupied most of Khorasan. In 1038 the Seljuks decisively defeated the Ghazanvids who were led by Mesud, son of Mahmud, at Nishapur.
The victories of the Seljuks against the Ghaznavids continued at Sarakhs and Dandanaqan. Members of the Seljuk family conducted additional aggressive campaigns in order to collect booty and check their rivals.
