Icerigger is a 1974 science fiction novel by American writer Alan Dean Foster. Like many of Foster's science-fiction novels, Icerigger takes place within his Humanx Commonwealth fictional universe.  The book's two sequels are Mission to Moulokin and The Deluge Drivers.

Plot

Following a criminal kidnapping gone wrong, Ethan Fromme Fortune, a simple salesman and sophisticated interstellar traveler, finds himself stranded on the alien, deadly frozen world of Tran-Ky-Ky. With him are professional adventurer/soldier of fortune Skua September, the interstellar tycoon and his daughter who were the targets of the kidnapping, a vacationing schoolteacher, and the sole remaining kidnapper.

They survive the frigid conditions and indigenous flora and fauna in their wrecked lifeboat long enough to be rescued by representatives of the local feudal government – who are facing a crisis of their own. Their arrival, and the fantastic wealth represented by the worked metal of their lifeboat, has coincided with an upcoming visit of The Horde. This nomadic swarm descends on various city-states every one to two years, exacting tribute as the price for not destroying their community while rampaging through it. This time the locals have decided to put up a fight.

Fortune and his companions quickly realize that their only hope of reaching the planet's sole interstellar outpost - a year's perilous journey away by local wind-driven ice-rafts - lies in actively supporting their hosts in their fight for survival.

Munster is a suburb of Perth, Western Australia, located within the City of Cockburn.

History
The suburb was named in 1954 from the original name of Lake Coogee, being Lake Munster, which was named after Prince William, Earl of Munster, and later King William IV.  The district had been known as South Coogee since the 1870s and this earlier name remains in use by older settlers of the area.  The district contains the site of Thomas Peel's original settlement, the Clarence townsite, the first recorded land grants in the Cockburn area, and around Lake Coogee the remains of the cottages built by the Pensioner Guards in the 1880s.  The Munster district is unique in the continuous occupation of the Anderson, Newman, and Sawle properties by those families since the last century.

In 1895 a postal directory mentioned that the suburb of Lake Munster was "also known as Coogee". In later years this name was applied more to the area north-west of the lake, while the rest of the area became known for postal purposes as Woodman Point and South Coogee in the 1950s. Munster was officially adopted as a suburb name in 1954.

In 2019, the City of Cockburn approved a split of Munster, whereby the north-western part of the suburb became the new suburb of Lake Coogee while another part, in the south-west, was added to the suburb of Henderson. Only the eastern part of Munster remained part of the existing suburb. The changes came into effect on 30 March 2020.

Geography
The suburb is bounded by Fancote Avenue to the north, Lorimer and Henderson Roads to the east, Russell Road to the south and Rockingham Road to the west.

The suburb contains the Cockburn Cement works, which has a significant impact on the surrounding land use (restricting the residential growth of the area).  The Australian Marine Complex was, until 2020, also partially located within the southern portion of the suburb, primarily the Technology Precinct (which includes Raytheon Australia, and a new TAFE facility - Australian Centre for Energy and Process Training (ACEPT) - South Metropolitan TAFE).

Guran is a character from The Phantom comic strip. Guran is the best friend of the main character, Phantom.

Character synopsis
According to Lee Falk's novel The Story of the Phantom: The Ghost Who Walks, Guran is ten years older than Kit Walker (a.k.a. The Phantom). The two grew up together in the deep woods of Bangalla, where Guran taught the Phantom the ways of the Bandar tribe. Guran was the Phantom's best man when he married his girlfriend since boyhood, Diana Palmer. Guran followed Kit to Clarksdale, Mississippi, where Kit studied while living with his aunt and uncle, Bessie and Sid, leaving him to become the first of the shy, isolated Bandar pigmies to learn how to read and write. He also brought Kit the message about Kit's dying father, the 20th Phantom, causing the 20-year-old college student to leave America to return to the Skull Cave, Bangalla, where he took up the mantle of the Phantom. Known for his characteristic clothing, he is usually seen wearing a special hat made of either blades of grass or wood. He is also the medicine man of the Bandar, and has saved the Phantom's life on a few occasions due to his knowledge of ancient Bangallan medicine, as well as modern western medicine.

Family
Guran is the son of the former chief of the Bandar tribe, leaving him to take over the title from his father (it is not known whether his father died or retired from the position). His ancestors, who have accompanied various Phantoms on adventures, are similar in appearance and are all named with the suffix -uran.

Guran has a son from a former relationship, Timo, the black sheep of the family. Timo was once was a part of the team who tried to steal the Phantom's treasure from the Skull Cave.

Other media
 In the Phantom 2040 animated series, Guran's grandson, also named Guran, was the closest friend of the 23rd Phantom, and acted as a mentor to the 24th. He was voiced by J.D. Hall.
 A character called Guran had cameo appearances in some episodes of Defenders of the Earth, which featured Flash Gordon, The Phantom, and Mandrake the Magician. However, as the series took place in the future, it is presumed to be one of Guran's descendants.
 In the 1996 The Phantom film, Guran makes a brief appearance played by Radmar Agana Jao. In this version he is much younger than the Phantom, and is portrayed as an Asian, rather than African as he is in the comics. He also wears a turban and a more traditional set of clothing, rather than his strange hat and unique dress sense in the comic.
 In the 1943 Phantom movie serial, a character named Moko is clearly inspired by Guran, and serves as the Phantom's assistant and helper throughout the film.
 In the 2010 SyFy miniseries, Guran is recast as an educated native woman (Sandrine Holt) of the Bengalla jungle who eventually befriends Kit Walker the 22nd (Ryan Carnes) the son of the 21st Phantom (Kit Walker the 21st) and Diane Walker.

Schloss Kornberg is a castle near Riegersburg, Styria, Austria.

History 

Kornberg Castle was first mentioned in documents in 1284. It originally served not as a residential but as an fortified complex of the Lords of Kornberg to the hungarian border.

In 1308 the Lords of Kornberg sold the Lordship and castle for financial reasons to the lords of Walsee. In 1328 the Walseer gave Kornberg as an Afterlehen to the Lords von Graben. Later Kornberg came into their possession as an Allod and served as the administrative headquarter of the styrian branch of the family. After the death of Andrä von Graben in 1556 and the extinction of this line, the castle fall after many years of inheritance disputes to the sons of Andrä's sister Anna von Graben, the Lords and Counts von Stadl zu Kornberg as a Fideicommiss. Their offspring owned the castle until 1825. Afterwards they sold it to the House of Liechtenstein, and in 1871 the family of Charles Francois Bardeau become the new owners.

The International Year of Biodiversity (IYB) was a year-long celebration of biological diversity and its importance, taking place internationally in 2010. Coinciding with the date of the 2010 Biodiversity Target, the year was declared by the 61st session of the United Nations General Assembly in 2006.

It was meant to help raise awareness of the importance of biodiversity through activities and events, to influence decision makers, and "to elevate biological diversity nearer to the top of the political agenda".

Background
The United Nations General Assembly declared 2010 as the International Year of Biodiversity (Resolution 61/203). This year coincided with the 2010 Biodiversity Target adopted by the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity and by Heads of State and government at the World Summit for Sustainable Development in Johannesburg in 2002.

The Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), based in Montreal, Canada, was coordinating the International Year of Biodiversity campaign.

Established at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, the Convention on Biological Diversity is an international treaty for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and the equitable sharing of the benefits of biodiversity. The CBD has near-universal participation, with 193 Parties.

Main goals in UN view
The main goals of the International Year of Biodiversity were to:
 Enhance public awareness of the importance of conserving biodiversity and of the underlying threats to biodiversity
 Raise awareness of the accomplishments to save biodiversity that had been realized by communities and governments
 Promote innovative solutions to reduce the threats to biodiversity
 Encourage individuals, organizations and governments to act immediately to halt biodiversity loss
 Start dialog between stakeholders for what to do in the post-2010 period

Slogan
  Biodiversity is life. Biodiversity is our life.

The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives (1997) is one of the major works of Zbigniew Brzezinski. Brzezinski graduated with a PhD from Harvard University in 1953 and became Professor of American Foreign Policy at Johns Hopkins University. He was later the United States National Security Advisor from 1977 to 1981, under the administration of President Jimmy Carter.

Regarding the landmass of Eurasia as the center of global power, Brzezinski sets out to formulate a Eurasian geostrategy for the United States. In particular, he writes that no Eurasian challenger should emerge that can dominate Eurasia and thus also challenge U.S. global pre-eminence.

Much of Brzezinski's analysis is concerned with geostrategy in Central Asia, focusing on the exercise of power on the Eurasian landmass in a post-Soviet environment. In his chapter dedicated to what he refers to as the "", he uses Halford J. Mackinder's Heartland Theory.

The book was critically reviewed by The New York Times, Kirkus Reviews, Foreign Affairs, and other publications.

The Little Monocacy River is a  tributary stream of the Potomac River. Despite its name, the stream does not feed into the Monocacy River. The Little Monocacy is located almost entirely in Montgomery County, Maryland, and enters the Potomac just downstream from where the Monocacy enters the Potomac. Its headwaters rise southwest of Comus, and most of its approximately  watershed is farmland and pasture (60.56%) or forested land (36.03%).
