List of Kanon characters: This is a list of characters from the Japanese visual novel, manga, and anime series "Kanon".  The protagonist of the story is Yuichi Aizawa, a seventeen-year-old man who has forgotten much of his past as a child.  There are five heroines in the story, starting with Ayu Tsukimiya, who is the main heroine.  Ayu is a short girl Yuichi's age that used to play with him when Yuichi was younger.  She carries a winged-backpack on her back, loves to eat "taiyaki", and often says her trademark "Ugū" catchphrase.  Next is Nayuki Minase, Yuichi's cousin, who is also in his class at school.  Nayuki has the problem with sleeping in, and is very hard to get up in the morning.  She has had a crush on Yuichi ever since she was a child.  The third heroine is Makoto Sawatari, the youngest of the five heroines, who has lost nearly all of her memories.  What she does remember is her own name, and that she holds a grudge against Yuichi for something he did in the past, though not even Yuichi can remember what he did.  Shiori Misaka is the fourth heroine; she is a first year in high school, though never attends class due to an illness she has had since birth.  She is usually a cheerful girl who wants her sister to acknowledge her most of all.  The last heroine is named Mai Kawasumi, a silent girl who initially comes off as cold towards Yuichi and others, so in effect does not have many friends.  She spends her nights at the school slaying demons.

Wayne B. Nottingham Prize: The Wayne B. Nottingham Prize is awarded annually at the Physical Electronics Conference (PEC), a conference that focuses on new research results in the field of surface science and in the sub-fields of physics and chemistry of interfaces.  The prestigious Nottingham Prize was established from contributions given in memory of Professor Wayne B. Nottingham of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology by his many friends and associates.  It was first given in March 1966 at MIT and in March thereafter until February,1974 when the PEC was held at Bell Labs in Murray Hill, NJ.  This was to avoid overlap in time with the American Physical Society "March" meeting which in the 1970s was about 30 times larger than the PEC.  Unfortunately the weather in February led to icy roads and delays in the scheduled events.  In 1975 the PEC was moved to June where it still is today.  The prize currently consists of a certificate and in 1974 was $200 but has increased recently to $1500, and is awarded to the best student paper presented at the conference.  A student paper is defined as a paper based on a Ph.D. thesis whose date of submission to the faculty is no earlier than one year before the meeting at which the Prize is given.

John Paul Jones: John Paul Jones (born John Paul; July 6, 1747 July 18, 1792) was the United States' first well-known naval commander in the American Revolutionary War.  He made many friends and enemies—who accused him of piracy—among America's political elites, and his actions in British waters during the Revolution earned him an international reputation which persists to this day.  As such, he is sometimes referred to as the "Father of the American Navy" (an epithet that he shares with John Barry and John Adams).  He later served in the Imperial Russian Navy, subsequently obtaining the rank of rear admiral.
