A pollen calendar is used to show the peak pollen times for different types of plant pollen, which causes allergic reactions in certain people.

In forensics
A pollen calendar can be a very useful tool in forensic science, because it can be used to place the month, or week, or date of death.  The use of pollen for criminal investigation purposes is called "forensic palynology".

However, the use of a pollen calendar to set the date of death should be used with extreme caution, and only by a carefully trained expert witness.  The CSI effect has put pressure on some police officers and district attorneys to provide pollen-based evidence, but such evidence "appear[s] to be of limited use in the forensic context where outcomes are scrutinised in court."

Monument to Abylai Khan in Almaty (Russian: Памятник Абылай Хана, tr. pamiatnik abylai khanu) is a monument dedicated to the Kazakh statesman, the Khan of Kazakh Khanate Abylai Khan located in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

Construction 
The monument is made out of bronze and was installed at the station square in front of Almaty-2 train station building on 16 December 2000. It was installed on a high tiered octagonal granite pedestal. Four corner columns hold an overhanging cornice, serving as a base for the pedestal of equestrian sculpture.

Monument authors 
Those who took part in monument's construction and installation are listed on a granite plaque at the base of the monument:

 Head of the design team - S. K. Baimagambetov
 Sculptor - K. K. Satybaldin
 Architects - T. E. Eraliev, Z. S. Baimagambetov, V. I. Sidorov
 Designer - M.E. Erkinov
 Foundry works - A.V. Volkov

Monument description 
The monument itself is cast in bronze. Abylai Khan is sitting on a horse, wearing richly decorated clothes and combat gear. In his right hand he holds a rod, which is a symbol of the khan's power. The base of the pedestal of the equestrian sculpture is four angular columns, which hold a hinged cornice. The general feeling of the monument is power, strength and greatness.

Critique 
The monument was heavily criticized by sculptors. In particular, the sculptor Nurlan Dalbay spoke about it in the following way: "It doesn't even smell of sculpture. Amateurs like these, who get to win government contracts, can't sculpt, don't understand anything about composition, and don't know the smell of sculpture. Monumental sculpture has its own laws, they learn that at academies. The main task is to insert the object into the urban situation. It should be silhouettically recognizable. Then the details come. That means you know very well human anatomy, the anatomy of a horse. You know composition at least a little bit, in other words you can portray some kind of gesture. And because you don't have that, you get not sculpture, but plasticine little people".

"Join Together" was a hit for singer Steve Allen in 1974. The song was chosen for the Commonwealth Games that year. It was released on the Viking record label.

Background
Allen had previously had a No. 1 hit in New Zealand with his version of "Top Of The World".
"Join Together" was recorded in Wellington in the EMI studios in the winter of 1973. The backing track was recorded with just four musicians. It had Allen on piano, vocals and drums, Mike Conway on bass, Dave Orams, and organist Mike Le Petit. The other parts were added later. It was an entrant in the Studio One competition. Competing against "Country Spring" by Larry Philip, "Take My Life" by Desna Sisarich, "Natural Man by Bunny Walters, "What Do You Do" by Lutha, and "Games Spirit" by Nash Chase, it won by a margin of 30,000. The song made it to No. 2 in the Top 20, and was kept from the No. 1 spot by Helen Reddy's 'Delta Dawn'.

The song was banned in South Africa because the words freedom, race, peace, black and white were deemed unsuitable.

Neal R. Brendel (September 12, 1954 – August 25, 2021) was an American rugby union player and lawyer. Brendel played at the inaugural 1987 Rugby World Cup. His test debut for the Eagles was against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground on July 9, 1983. He made his last appearance for USA against England at the 1987 World Cup at Concord Oval, Sydney, Australia. Brendel served on the USA Rugby Board of Directors and held various executive posts, commencing in 1996 ultimately serving as Chairman of USA Rugby (2002-2005) and was the first National Team player to ascend to the top leadership post of the Union. In 2017, Brendel was presented with the Craig Sweeney Award (part of the US Rugby Hall of Fame) for his service and contributions to the game and the Union. Brendel was in the first class of inductees into the Virginia Rugby Hall of Fame and was its Honorary Chairman. Brendel also served as a Governor of the US Rugby Foundation.

Brendel began his rugby career at Yale University where he was also an All American NCAA wrestler and in 1976 was awarded Yale’s prestigious William Neely Mallory Award (awarded to the Senior male athlete who “best represents the highest ideals of American Sportsmanship”). In 2009, Brendel helped to establish his law firm’s Dubai office and divided his time between Dubai and Pittsburgh.

Brendel died in 2021 at the age of 66 of mesothelioma.

Seal Island is a small land mass located  off the northern beaches of False Bay, near Cape Town in South Africa. The island is so named because of the great number of Cape fur seals that occupy it. It is  in area and home to 64,000 cape fur seals. It is also home to seabirds, and it is likely that non-marine species  fly there to breed as well . The island is an outcrop of Cape granite and rises no more than about  above the high tide mark. The island is long and narrow – . There is no vegetation, soil of any significance, or beach.

A radar mast was built on the island during World War II by a crew who lived in prefabricated huts for the duration of the construction but this tower gradually succumbed to corrosion and was blown over in a winter storm in 1970. All that remains of it is rusty, twisted metal. The ruins of a few huts and other structures from the sealing and guano-collection era (first half of the 20th century) have remained on the island. Some rock inscriptions made by sealers in the 1930s are still evident.

Fauna 
Besides the Cape fur seal, the Brown fur seal, occurs here and the dense population of seals at certain times of the year attracts the seal's main predator, the great white shark. Seal Island and the adjacent waters provide rare opportunities for those who wish to witness attacks by great whites on the Cape fur seal and to observe social interactions amongst creatures of both species. The island has become famous for the size of the sharks, and for their favoured way of catching their prey – a shark launching an attack will come up from underneath and hurl itself out of the water with the seal in its mouth. It has been shown that if the seals enter the "Ring of Death" (where the sharks circle the island) on the surface instead of at the murky bottom, they are more likely to be picked off by the faster and more aggressive great white.

Since 2001, Seal Island, False Bay has been popularized by the Discovery Channel series Air Jaws, which features the breaching behavior of Great Whites near the island. A 2019 sequel, "Air Jaws Strikes Back" names a "second Seal Island", this time located in Mossel Bay on the southeast coast of South Africa.

The Russian Sixth Army was a World War I Russian field army that fought on the Eastern theatre of war.

The 6th Army Field Headquarters was established in July 1914 at the Saint Petersburg Military District.
The strategic task of the Army between July 1914 and December 1916 was to defend the coasts of the Baltic and White Sea, and the approaches to St. Petersburg. In August 1915, it became part of the newly formed Northern Front. With the creation of the Romanian Front in December 1916, the staff was transferred to the Danube Army in Romania, which was renamed the 6th Army. The old 6th Army units became part of the Northern Front.

Epic of the Forgotten (; Epopeya na zabravenite) is a cycle of 12 odes composed by Bulgarian writer Ivan Vazov between 1881 and 1884. The poems deal with people and events connected with Bulgaria's struggle for national liberation against the Ottoman Empire.

Background 
Vazov wrote the cycle to commemorate the Bulgarian fight for freedom against the Ottoman Empire and to criticize the moral decline of the Bulgarian nation after the Liberation, in comparison to the heroic figures and events of the then recent past. It could be said that the "Epic" formed the Bulgarian national consciousness and created many of the Bulgarian historical legends and myths. It served as an interpretation of the struggle against the Ottoman Empire and mostly the April Uprising, not in its real values (the limited number of participants and the military failure of the uprising) but in its morals. The Bulgarian fight for freedom was interpreted as a sacred act of heroes exactly because it did not have any perceivable chance of success. Despite the lack of demographic, military and other such possibilities of success against the Ottoman Empire which was still militarily resilient, the Bulgarians toiled under dire circumstances against it. The failure itself turned into a moral success and granted the Bulgarians the right to be free.

The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory is a book by Brian Greene published in 1999, which introduces string and superstring theory, and provides a comprehensive though non-technical assessment of the theory and some of its shortcomings. In 2000, it won the Royal Society Prize for Science Books and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction. A new edition was released in 2003, with an updated preface.

Table of contents
 Preface (with an additional preface to the 2003 edition)
 Part I: The Edge of Knowledge
 Part II: The Dilemma of Space, Time, and the Quanta
 Part III: The Cosmic Symphony
 Part IV: String Theory and the Fabric of Spacetime
 Part V: Unification in the Twenty-First Century

Contents
Beginning with a brief consideration of classical physics, which concentrates on the major conflicts in physics, Greene establishes a historical context for string theory as a necessary means of integrating the probabilistic world of the standard model of particle physics and the deterministic Newtonian physics of the macroscopic world. Greene discusses the essential problem facing modern physics: the unification of Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. Greene suggests that string theory is the solution to these two conflicting approaches. Greene frequently uses analogies and thought experiments to provide a means for the layman to come to terms with the theory which has the potential to create a unified theory of physics.

Reception
According to George Johson's review in The New York Times:

John H. Schwarz wrote:

Beat Boy is the third studio album by the British new wave band Visage. It was recorded at Trident Studios between 1982 and 1983 and released on Polydor Records in October 1984 (delayed by contractual problems the band were having at that time). Reaching No. 79 on the UK album chart, the album was poorly received by critics and would be the band's last studio album for almost thirty years.

Background 
The album was recorded and released after lead singer Steve Strange decided to make Visage a live band instead of being solely a studio-based project, a decision that left him working only with drummer Rusty Egan and a trio of newer musicians. Billy Currie (the Ultravox keyboardist who had been part of Visage for their first two albums) left the band soon after recording commenced, though co-wrote and played on the track "Only The Good Die Young". Keyboardist Dave Formula, who co-wrote two tracks, also departed the band during this time.

Beat Boy was released on 26 October 1984 on vinyl and cassette by Polydor Records. The cassette version of the album featured remixes of the album's original tracks, with a total running time of over 50 minutes. This included an extra track, the instrumental "Reprise" (a reprise of the track "Questions").

Beat Boy was eventually released on CD for the first time in February 2009 by Cherry Red Records, and featured the same track list as the original vinyl album with four extra tracks (see below). The remixed version of the album (as featured on the original cassette) was released by Rubellan Remasters on CD in 2022.

Reception 

Beat Boy was poorly received by critics. In a scathing review of the album, Ian Cranna of Smash Hits characterised Strange and Egan as "two wafer-thin talents" and described the album as "a cross between all-purpose Euro-disco and Queen, with excruciatingly amateurish lyrics".

Though the band's first two studio albums peaked within the Top 20 and Top 10 respectively, each earning a Silver disc in the UK, Beat Boy peaked at number 79 and spent only two weeks on the album chart. Two singles were released from the album, "Love Glove" in August 1984 (UK No. 54) and "Beat Boy" in November 1984, which did not chart. The critical and commercial failure of the album effectively marked the end of Visage as a recording act for the next couple of decades.
