WAGR F class
The WAGR F class were a total of 57 freight steam locomotives operated by the Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR) from 1902 to 1972.
Superheating of the F class began in 1924 and continued up to 1948 - resulting in the Fs class, though when they were relegated to shunting duties in the 1950s they were rebuilt to normal saturated locomotives for economic reasons. Two of the F class are preserved, No. 398 (452) at Collie, and Fs class No. 460 (407) at Bassendean Railway Museum.
WAGR Fs class
The WAGR Fs class were a total of 55 steam locomotives operated by the Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR) from 1923 to 1970.
The Fs class was the result of superheating the standard F class 4-8-0 goods engines improving fuel efficiency and creating greater haulage capacity. All but two of the F class would be superheated from 1923 to 1948 at Midland Railway Workshops. In the 1950s many of the Fs were rebuilt as saturated locos for shunting duties to improve the classes' economy. Fs class No. 460 is preserved at the Bassendean Railway Museum.
WAGR Fsl class
The WAGR Fsl class were freight steam locomotives operated by the Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR).
The Fsl class resulted from rebuilds regarding the Fs class (superheated F class) to have larger cylinders to improve power performance. By the 1940s the Fsl, like the equivalent Esl classification had been abandoned and merged back with the Fs class along with the Fso class designation.
WAGR Fso class
The WAGR Fso class were freight steam locomotives operated by the Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR).
The Fso class was a designation assigned to regular Fs class (superheated F class) 4-8-0 locomotives to identify them from the Fsl class which had larger cylinders. Like the Esl and Eso classes, these sorts of classifications were abandoned by the 1940s, with both the Fso and Fsl classes being folded into the normal Fs class.
WAGR K class
The WAGR K class were a total of 24 heavy freight side tank steam locomotives operated by the Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR) from 1893 to 1964.
The K class were built by Neilson & Coy of Glasgow, Scotland from 1893 to 1898 for work on heavy goods trains on the Eastern Railway where upon their arrival they totally outclassed the B, G and later O classes. Some were superheated from 1915 to 1916, and one in 1929 as the Ks class however this was not a great success as by this time they were being used as shunters reducing the economic efficiency.
When the F class arrived in 1902 the K class was reallocated to the South Western mainline to Collie, replacing the O class on goods traffic. After handling local goods around Perth and Kalgoorlie along with other regional centres they became relegated to purely shunting roles by the 1920s. The last K class was withdrawn in 1964, all were scrapped.
WAGR Ks class
The WAGR Ks class were a total of 6 steam locomotives operated by the Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR) from 1915 to 1928.
The Ks class were the result of superheating the standard K class 2-8-4 of 1893. Only six of the twenty-four total were superheated as by this time most were working as shunting meaning superheating them wasn't economically viable. All but one were converted back to K class engines.

Altarpiece of Saint George
In 1740 the altarpiece was still in the church, but it was demolished in 1807 and the altarpiece was lost until it appeared in Paris in 1864, dismantled in several pieces. After a period of negotiation, the altarpiece was bought by the South Kensington museum in London for 800 pounds or 20,000 francs, a high price for a work of this nature at the time. Since then, the altarpiece has been exhibited in that museum, now called the Victoria and Albert Museum .
In 2010, negotiations began with the London museum for a temporary return of the altarpiece to Valencia, but ultimately they did not succeed.
In 2019 the predella of the altarpiece, the part most in need of restoration, arrived at the Museum of Fine Arts in Valencia to be restored and analyzed, it remained on display between 2020 and 2021. The restoration lasted for a year and a half and made it possible to recover the original colors and brightness.

The House of Commons of Great Britain was the lower house of the Parliament of Great Britain between 1707 and 1801. This was a result of the Acts of Union. It replaced the House of Commons of England and the third estate of the Parliament of Scotland.

At the "Model Parliament" of 1295, representatives of the boroughs (including towns and cities) were admitted. It became the rule that each county send two knights of the shire, and that each borough send two burgesses. In 1341 the Commons met separately from the nobility and clergy for the first time, creating in effect an Upper Chamber and a Lower Chamber. The clergy and nobility became the House of Lords.

WAGR M class
The WAGR M class were a total of 13 successful Garratt steam locomotives operated by the Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR) from 1912 to 1955.
The M class was built by Beyer, Peacock & Coy from 1911 to 1913, they had recently negotiated the exclusive production of Garratt articulated engines manufactured out of the UK. The WAGR were the first to order Garratts of such size and quantity for a state system, playing a vital role in the global success of Garratt locomotives, the WAGR being somewhat of a trailblazer in this respect.
The M class were powerful locos designed to be able to run on lighter-laid lines and around sharp 5-chain radius curves, which they did to great effect, being more powerful than the F class while also having far greater route availability. The second batch was ordered as superheated and became the Ms class, though a standard M class was converted in 1934. Withdrawals began in 1947, with the last withdrawn and scrapped in 1955, none were preserved. They were succeeded by the Msa class Garratts.
WAGR Ms class
The WAGR Ms class were a total of 8 successful Garratt steam locomotives operated by the Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR) from 1913 to 1955.
The Ms class were ordered new from Beyer, Peacock & Coy as a superheated version of the standard M class which they built previously in 1911. Superheating improved their steaming qualities making them more favourable with crews for their free-steaming abilities. In 1934 a single M class, No. 389 was converted to a Ms at Midland Railway Workshops. Withdrawals for the class began in 1947 and continued until 1955 when all had been scrapped.
WAGR Msa class
The WAGR Msa class were a total of 10 Garratt steam locomotives that was run by the Western Australian Government Railways (WAGR) from 1930 to 1963.

They proved a great success, though wasted coal when compared to the Ms class and couldn't have all their parts unchanged with the Ms class. One was withdrawn in 1962 and the rest in 1963. One was supposed to be preserved but was accidentally scrapped by mistake, leaving nothing behind.

Nikola Vaptsarov
Nikola Vaptsarov (Bulgarian and ) was a Bulgarian poet and communist activist from the city of Bansko, today Bulgaria. After his death, in 1952, he won the International Peace Award.
Vaptsarov only managed to make one collection of poems before his execution in 1942 by the Bulgarian goverment, it was titled "Motorni Pesni" () which only contained 20 poems and was published in 1940. During World War II, he organized communist activities against the Bulgarian goverment. As a result, in 1942, he was captured, sentenced and killed by firing squad in Sofia.
He was born in Bansko (today in Bulgaria). Trained as a machine engineer at the Naval Machinery School in Varna, which was later named after him. His first service was on the famous Drazki torpedo boat. In this period, he embraced Marxism and spread the communist ideology during the 1930s. In April and May 1932, Vaptsarov visited Istanbul, Famagusta, Alexandria, Beirut, Port Said, and Haifa as a crew member of the Burgas vessel. In 1934, he joined the Bulgarian Communist Party.
In the late 1930s, he co-founded the Macedonian literary circle, which promoted the idea of a separate Macedonian nation. In 1940, he participated in the so-called "Sobolev action," gathering signatures for a pact of friendship between Bulgaria and the USSR. The illegal activity earned him an arrest and an internment in the village of Godech. After his release in September 1940, Vaptsarov got involved with the Central Military Committee of the Bulgarian Communist Party. His task was to organize the supply of guns and documents for the communist resistance. He was arrested in March 1942. On 23 July 1942, he was sentenced to death and shot the same evening along with eleven other men.
His only published poetry collection is "Motor Songs" (1940). Consisting of 20 poems and divided into four sections:
Post-war People's Republic of Bulgaria celebrated him as an activist and revolutionary poet, while his poetry collection was seen as an example of "proletarian" literature. Soviet-bloc countries also widely published his work. In 1949, the Bulgarian Naval Academy renamed itself "Nikola Vaptsarov Naval Academy". On 1953, he received the International Peace Award posthumously. Lawrence & Wishart published his "Selected Poems" in London in the 1950s, translated into English by British poet Peter Tempest. He was one of the most frequently translated Bulgarian poets. Vaptsarov Peak in eastern Livingston Island, Antarctica, is named after him. Today, his childhood home in Bansko and residence in Sofia are both museums. North Macedonia and the Macedonians in Bulgaria also honor him.
All Out (2019)

Ponos is associated with the challenges and difficulties that humans face in their daily lives, particularly in activities that require physical or mental exertion. He embodies the concept that hard work and perseverance are often necessary for achieving success and prosperity.
While Ponos is not as prominent as some other figures in Greek mythology, his presence highlights the ancient Greeks' understanding of the importance of labor and the recognition that achieving one's goals often requires dedication and effort.
It's worth noting that Ponos is not as well-known or widely referenced as some other Greek deities, and his mythology may not be as extensively detailed as figures like Zeus or Athena. Nevertheless, he remains an intriguing representation of the Greek perspective on the value of hard work and the challenges inherent in human endeavors.

Casimir Funk
Cazimierz Funk, also known as Kasimir Funk, was a Polish biochemist. He proposed the idea of vitamins in 1912, which he initially called "vital amines" or "vitamines."
After reading an article by a Dutchman named Christiaan Eijkman, which said that people who ate brown rice were less likely to get beri-beri compared to those who only ate fully milled rice, a scientist named Funk tried to find the specific substance responsible for this. He was successful and named it "vitamine" because it contained an amine group. It was later called vitamin B3 (niacin), even though he initially thought it would be vitamin B1 (thiamine) and described it as the "anti-beri-beri-factor.
In 1912, he suggested the existence of at least four vitamins: one to prevent beriberi, one for scurvy, one for pellagra, and one for rickets. He later published a book called "The Vitamines" in 1912 and received a research fellowship.
Funk also suggested that other diseases like rickets, pellagra, coeliac disease, and scurvy could also be treated with vitamins. He was one of the early researchers to investigate pellagra, attributing it to changes in the corn milling process, although his findings were largely ignored.
The "e" in "vitamine" was removed when it was realized that vitamins don't have to be nitrogen-containing amines.
He suggested there are other essential nutrients, which we now call vitamins B1, B2, C, and D.
In 1936, he figured out the structure of thiamine, but he wasn't the first to isolate it.
Funk also studied hormones, diabetes, peptic ulcers, and cancer biochemistry.
After coming back to the United States, he became the president of the Funk Foundation for Medical Research in 1940. In his later years, he focused on understanding the causes of cancers.
English in the Commonwealth of Nations
English in the Commonwealth of Nations or Commonwealth English refers to the various forms of the English language spoken and written within the countries of the Commonwealth of Nations, an intergovernmental organization comprising 54 member states. While English is not the sole official language of the Commonwealth, it holds a prominent place in most member nations and serves as a vital means of communication among these diverse countries. Commonwealth English encompasses a wide range of accents, dialects, and idiosyncrasies, making it a linguistically rich and diverse entity. This article explores the history, features, and significance of Commonwealth English.
Commonwealth English has its roots in the expansion of the British Empire, during which the English language was introduced to various parts of the world. Over time, English adapted to local languages and cultures, giving rise to distinct regional varieties. The influence of the British Empire and the subsequent decolonization process played a crucial role in shaping these linguistic developments. Today, Commonwealth English reflects the history and evolution of the language in former British colonies and territories.
Commonwealth English consists of several regional varieties, each with its unique characteristics. Some of the most notable ones include:
The form of English spoken in the United Kingdom, which serves as a foundation for many Commonwealth English varieties. British English itself has numerous regional dialects and accents, including Received Pronunciation (RP), often considered the standard British accent.
Spoken in Australia, Australian English exhibits a distinct accent and vocabulary. It has been influenced by indigenous languages and immigrant populations, making it unique among Commonwealth English varieties.
With influences from French and indigenous languages, Canadian English is spoken throughout Canada. Notable features include regional accents, such as the Maritime, Central Canadian, and Western Canadian accents.

South African English is spoken in South Africa, and it exhibits a variety of accents and dialects influenced by the country's diverse population, including British, Afrikaans, and indigenous languages.
Indian English is spoken in India, where it has developed its own unique vocabulary and pronunciation influenced by the country's many languages and cultures.
Found throughout the Caribbean region, Caribbean English varies by island, with influences from African, indigenous, and European languages.
These regional varieties are just a selection of the diverse forms of Commonwealth English. Each variety carries its own linguistic features, reflecting the multicultural and multilingual nature of the Commonwealth.
Commonwealth English exhibits several common linguistic features:
Commonwealth English is a testament to the global impact of the British Empire and the subsequent development of English as a lingua franca. It plays a vital role in international diplomacy, trade, and cultural exchange among Commonwealth member states. Moreover, it fosters a sense of shared heritage and communication, making it an important factor in the cohesion of the Commonwealth of Nations.
In conclusion, Commonwealth English is a rich and diverse linguistic entity shaped by history, culture, and geography. It encompasses a wide range of regional varieties, each contributing to the linguistic tapestry of the Commonwealth of Nations. This form of English is not just a means of communication but also a reflection of the shared history and cultural connections among its member states.
Names for association football
The sport of association football has a variety of names in English. The most common names for the sport are "football" and "soccer", depending on the country.
International organisations such as FIFA and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) use the term "football" when referring to international events. This is because the sport is most commonly called "football" in most countries. However, the term "soccer" is more common in some countries, including the United States, Canada and Australia. In some countries where the sport is more commonly called "soccer" the official bodies use "football" in their names, even if most people call it "soccer" in that region. Despite this, even in countries where "soccer" is the most common term, most association football clubs use the abbreviation "FC" (which stands for "Football Club").
In most of the English-speaking world, including most countries in the Commonwealth of Nations, the sport is called "football". This includes the United Kingdom. However, the term "soccer" was actually coined in the United Kingdom, where it wad first used as a nickname for the sport. The term "soccer" was mostly used by the upper and middle classes, while the lower classes (including the working class, who had a big following in the sport) mostly used "football". However, as British society became less influenced by the upper class, "football" replaced "soccer".
Countries where there has been a somewhat successful shift from "soccer" to "football" include Ireland and New Zealand. In those countries, both terms are used, with "football" becoming more and more popular due to official branding and advertising but "soccer" still being used due to it traditionally being the more common name in those countries.
In Australia, most people call the sport "soccer", as that is the traditional name for the sport in Australia, despite the fact that the official body, now called Football Australia, has used the term "football" since 2005. This is because there are three major football codes in Australia: Australian rules football, rugby and soccer. Australian rules football is commonly called "footy", "football", "Aussie rules" or "AFL" (after the Australian Football League); rugby is commonly called "rugby", "footy", "football", "league" (when referring to rugby league) or "union" (when referring to rugby union); and association football is commonly called "soccer".
Even though Football Australia officially refers to the sport as "football", the Australian men's national team is still commonly and officially nicknamed the "Socceroos" (with the women's national team commonly and officially nicknamed the "Matildas") and the series between the Australian and New Zealand national teams still being called the Soccer Ashes (the trophy for which was rediscovered in 2023).
In Canada, due to the dominance of American football and Canadian football, the sport is commonly and officially known as "soccer".
In Papua New Guinea, the sport is most commonly known as "soccer" due to Australian influence. However, although the official body is known as the Papua New Guinea Football Association (PNGFA), the country's highest league is called the Papua New Guinea National Soccer League (PNGSL).
The sport is most commonly called "soccer" in South Africa, however official bodies use the term "football" in English.
