# Huguenot Cemetery, Cork

Huguenot Cemetery was created between 1710 and 1733 as a cemetery for the Huguenot inhabitants in the city of Cork. It is believed to be one of the last two surviving Huguenot graveyards in western Europe.

## Cemetery

About 5,000 Huguenots came to Ireland during the time when they were fleeing religious persecution, following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in their native France. Hundreds of these refugees settled in Cork. In the area of Lumley Street, now known as French Church Street, they built a school, an almshouse and a graveyard. The cemetery is home to the remains of some of the most prominent Huguenots of the city and it is understood that the remains of at least one former Lord Mayor of Cork are held within. The last recorded use of the graveyard for burial was in 1901. The cemetery is a recorded monument.

## Format

The format for play on Wednesday and Thursday was the same. There were four matches of foursomes in the morning and eight singles matches in the afternoon. In all, 24 matches were played.

If the two teams were tied, the previous winner would retain the trophy.

# Big Moose Mountain

Big Moose Mountain, previously named Big Squaw Mountain, is a mountain located in Piscataquis County, Maine. Big Moose Mountain is flanked to the southeast by Little Moose (Little Squaw) Mountain.
The name of the mountain was changed in 2000, in accordance with a state law that required the renaming of all geographic features and locations in Maine called "squaw" or "squa".
Big Moose Mountain stands within the watershed of the Kennebec River, which drains into the Gulf of Maine. The northeast side of Big Moose Mountain drains into Moosehead Lake, the source of the Kennebec. The southeast end of Big Moose Mountain drains into Squaw Brook, then into Moosehead Lake. The southwest side of Big Moose Mountain drains into Indian Brook, then into Indian Pond and the Kennebec River.
Big Moose Mountain is the location of Big Squaw Mountain Resort, an alpine skiing area.

# National brand

A national brand is the brand of a product that is distributed nationally under a brand name owned by a producer or distributor as opposed to local brands distributed only in some areas of a country and to private labels that carry a brand owned by the retailer rather than the producer.
Marketing and advertising may give consumers the impression that a national-brand product is superior to a local or private-labeled product. Both types use an advertising tactic involving giving away promotional products. Entrepreneur Magazine explains more concisely, "physical gifts with your advertising on it such as balloons, smartphone wipes, key chains, fridge magnets, pens and notepads are always popular too."
# National best bid and offer

National Best Bid and Offer (NBBO) is a regulation by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission that requires brokers to execute customer trades at the best available (lowest) ask price when buying securities, and the best available (highest) bid price when selling securities, as governed by Regulation NMS.
For example, if the offer (or "ask") price for a stock is $25.00 for 100 shares of a stock on one exchange and $24.50 for 100 shares of the same stock on another exchange, and a broker has a customer who wishes to purchase 150 shares of the stock, then the broker is required to purchase all of the shares available at $24.50 on behalf of the customer before purchasing any of the shares available at $25.00. Additionally, if an order for 150 shares is sent directly to the first exchange, it is required under most circumstances to route the first 100 shares of the order to the other exchange, where the shares are available at a cheaper price.
# Asahi Top Position

The Asahi Top Position was a Go competition.

## Outline

This tournament ran from 1955 to 1961 and was subsequently replaced by the Meijin and Judan titles. The sponsor was Asahi shimbun.

# History of United States Navy ratings

The History of the United States Navy ratings spans more than 200 years of U.S. history from the United Colonies of the 1775 era to the current age of the 21st century United States Navy. Navy ratings in America were first created in 1775, during the American Revolutionary War, for use by the Continental Navy. After securing independence, the fledgling United States was without an operational Navy for nearly a decade. In 1797, the first three frigates of the United States were formally launched, bringing about new regulations concerning enlisted seaman ratings

## History
### Continental Navy

The structure, ranks, and enlisted ratings of the early Continental Navy were direct carryovers from the Royal Navy hierarchy of uniforms, ranks, and insignia. The first American naval ranks consisted of simply captain, lieutenant (navy), and midshipman. Shipboard warrant officer ranks, such as sailing master, boatswain, carpenter, gunner, and purser, were also copied from the British system.
The earliest form of U.S. Navy enlisted ratings may be traced to the petty officers assigned as assistants to the shipboard warrant officers. The oldest such ratings, still in use today, are boatswain's mate, quartermaster, and gunner's mate. The rating of armourer was also in use as an assistant to the gunner, as was the rating of carpenter's mate for members of the ship's carpenter's crew. Informally, the shipboard title of yeoman was also frequently used, even though this would not be an official rating of the United States Navy until 1835.
The remainder of a Continental Navy ship's crew were simply referred to as "seamen", who were "signed on" to the ship for the duration of a campaign and "paid off" once the ship had returned to port.

### 21st Century Navy

On September 29, 2016, the United States Navy announced a plan to discontinue the enlisted ratings system. Enlisted sailors were to be referred to solely by their rank (e.g. Petty Officer) and would have held a “Navy Operations Specialty (NOS)“ instead of a rating. However, in December of that year, the Navy halted the creation of the proposed NOS, and reinstated the ratings system with immediate effect.
# International Brotherhood of Foundry Employees

The International Brotherhood of Foundry Employees (IBFE) was a labour union representing foundry workers in the United States and Canada.
The union was founded at a meeting in St Louis, Missouri, on March 26, 1904, by various independent local unions. The union represented foundry workers who were not eligible for membership of the International Molders' Union of North America (IMUNA), and that union backed the IBFE's formation, and its chartering by the American Federation of Labor (AFL).
By 1925, the union had 3,500 members. In 1929, it negotiated a merger with the IMUNA, but although that union's leadership allowed its membership to vote on the idea, they argued that it would mean it could not maintain its benefits program, and its membership voted down the proposal.
On October 9, 1939, the union's charter was revoked by the AFL. It continued on an independent basis, becoming the International Brotherhood of Foundry and Metal Employees in 1947. By 1953, it had 2,000 members, and it dissolved later in the decade, its members transferring to the IMUNA.
