Coat of arms of Birmingham
The coat of arms of Birmingham is the coat of arms granted to Birmingham City Council. It was granted in 1977 and includes various elements related to the area the council governs: the metropolitan borough of Birmingham in the county of the West Midlands, England.

The coat of arms is very similar to that granted to the council's predecessor, the Corporation of Birmingham, in 1889. It includes elements from the arms of the de Birmingham family, who held the manor of Birmingham until 1536, the arms of the Calthorpe family, who held the manor of Edgbaston, and the arms of the Corporation of Sutton Coldfield. It also references the city's industry and art.

De Birmingham family
The de Birmingham family (or de Bermingham) held the lordship of the manor of Birmingham in England for four hundred years and managed its growth from a small village into a thriving market town. They also assisted in the invasion of  Ireland and were rewarded with the Barony of Athenry. They were stripped of most of their lands in England by the notorious John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland, who held sway over the young King Edward VI (1547–1553).
First Era of Northern Domination
The First Era of Northern Domination refers to the period of Vietnamese history during which present-day northern Vietnam was under the rule of the Han dynasty and the Xin dynasty as Jiaozhi province and Jiaozhou province. It is considered the first of four periods of Chinese rule over Vietnam, and the first of the three in which were almost continuous and was referred to as Bắc thuộc ("Northern Domination").

In 111 BC, a militarily powerful Han dynasty conquered Nanyue during its expansion southward and incorporated what is today northern Vietnam, together with much of modern Guangdong and Guangxi, into the burgeoning Han empire.

Jiaozhi
Jiaozhi (standard Chinese, pinyin: Jiāozhǐ, Vietnamese: Giao Chỉ), was a historical region ruled by various Chinese dynasties, corresponding to present-day northern Vietnam. The kingdom of Nanyue (204–111 BC) set up the Jiaozhi Commandery (Chinese: 交趾郡, 交阯郡; Vietnamese: Quận Giao Chỉ, chữ Hán: 郡交趾) an administrative division centered in the Red River Delta that existed through Vietnam's first and second periods of Chinese rule. During the Han dynasty, the commandery was part of a province of the same name (later renamed to Jiaozhou) that covered modern-day northern and central Vietnam as well as Guangdong and Guangxi in southern China. In 679 AD, Jiaozhi was absorbed into the Annan Protectorate established by the Tang dynasty. Afterwards, official use of the name Jiaozhi was superseded by "Annan" (Annam) and other names of Vietnam, except during the brief fourth period of Chinese rule when the Ming dynasty administered Vietnam as the Jiaozhi Province.
56th Rescue Squadron
The 56th Rescue Squadron (56 RQS) is part of the 31st Fighter Wing, Aviano Air Base, Italy, from where it operates Sikorsky HH-60W Jolly Green II helicopters conducting search and rescue missions.

Sikorsky HH-60 Pave Hawk
The Sikorsky MH-60/HH-60 Pave Hawk is a four-blade, twin-engine, medium-lift utility military helicopter manufactured by Sikorsky Aircraft. Both are derived from the Sikorsky S-70 and the UH-60 Black Hawk; they incorporate the US Air Force PAVE electronic systems program and are designed for day or night operations into hostile environments.

The MH-60G Pave Hawk's primary mission was insertion and recovery of special operations personnel. The HH-60G Pave Hawk's core mission is recovery of personnel under hostile conditions, including combat search and rescue. The HH-60G may also perform peacetime operations such as civil search and rescue, emergency aeromedical evacuation (MEDEVAC), disaster relief, international aid and counter-drug activities.

As of the 2020s, the USAF is replacing its HH/MH-60Gs with a new variant, the HH-60W Jolly Green II. Another variant, the HH-60P, is operated by South Korea.

Tarabya of Ava
Tarabya (Burmese: တရဖျား, pronounced [təɹəbjá] or [təjəpʰjá]; 22 December 1368 – c. October 1400) was king of Ava for about seven months in 1400. He was the heir apparent from 1385 to 1400 during his father King Swa Saw Ke's reign. He was a senior commander in Ava's first three campaigns (1385−91) against Hanthawaddy Pegu in the Forty Years' War. He was assassinated seven months into his rule by his one-time tutor, Gov. Thihapate of Tagaung. The court executed the usurper, and gave the throne to Tarabya's half-brother Min Swe.

Tarabya is remembered as the Mintara (Burmese: မင်းတရား, IPA: [mɪ́ɴ təjá]) nat spirit in the Burmese official pantheon of nats.

Thihapate of Tagaung
Thihapate of Tagaung (Burmese: သီဟပတေ့, [θìha̰pətḛ]; also known as Nga Nauk Hsan (ငနောက်ဆံ, [ŋə naʊ̯ʔ sʰàɴ]); d. November 1400) was governor of Tagaung from 1367 to 1400. The powerful governor of the northernmost vassal state of Ava was a brother-in-law of King Swa Saw Ke, and had even served as a tutor to Crown Prince Tarabya. In 1380/81, he was even considered by King Swa Saw Ke as a candidate to become king of Arakan although he was ultimately passed over.

Thihapate came to Ava (Inwa) in 1400 to serve as an advisor to his one-time pupil Tarabya, who had become king. With Tarabya becoming mentally unstable, Thihapate assassinated the young king in November 1400, and tried to seize the throne. But the Ava court did not accept him, promptly executed him.
Yellow swordtail
The yellow swordtail (Xiphophorus clemenciae) is a species of freshwater fish in the family Poeciliidae. It is endemic to the upper Coatzacoalcos River basin in southern Mexico. It is typically found in brooks and streams with slow current; it is less frequent in areas with strong current. The yellow swordtail is considered a threatened species by Mexican authorities. It reaches up to 5.1 cm (2.0 in) in standard length.

Unusually, the yellow swordtail appears to be the result of hybrid speciation, and its ancestors a platy species and a swordtail species. The southern mountain swordtail (X. monticolus), which is found further south in the Coatzacoalcos River basin than the yellow swordtail, is the result of a similar event.

The fish is named in honor of Álvarez' wife Clemencia, whose help and advice made it possible for him to devote himself to the pursuit of his scientific research.

Xiphophorus
Xiphophorus is a genus of euryhaline and freshwater fishes in the family Poeciliidae of order Cyprinodontiformes, native to Mexico and northern Central America. Xiphophorus species can be divided into three groups based on their evolutionary relationships: platyfish (or platies), northern swordtails, and southern swordtails. Platyfish formerly were classified in another genus, Platypoecilus, which is now obsolete. The type species is X. hellerii, the green swordtail.  Like most other new world Poeciliids, platies and swordtails are  live-bearers that use internal fertilization and give birth to live young instead of laying eggs like the bulk of the world's fishes. All are relatively small fishes, which reach a maximum length of 3.5–16 cm (1.4–6.3 in) depending on the exact species involved.
Cystotheca lanestris
Cystotheca lanestris (commonly known as the live oak witch's broom fungus) is a species of powdery mildew in the family Erysiphaceae. It is found in North America on plants in the genus Quercus.

Clock House railway station
Clock House railway station serves the London Borough of Bromley, in south-east London, England. It lies 10 miles 23 chains (16.6 km) down the line from London Charing Cross, between Beckenham and Penge; it is in London fare zone 4. The station and all trains serving it are operated by Southeastern on the Hayes line.

The station, which was opened by the South Eastern Railway in 1890, is named after the nearby residence of the Cator Family which was demolished in 1896. Clock House retains its original street level booking hall and the remnants of its platform canopies and was formerly known for its tendency to flood whenever overwhelmed by the Chaffinch brook. The station name can be spelt either Clock House or Clockhouse. For example, the previous station signage used the latter (historically inaccurate) form, whilst the published timetables use the former version. The new Southeastern rebranded station signage and livery has since corrected this inaccuracy.

Johnnie Walker is a brand of Scotch whisky produced by Diageo in Scotland. It was established in the Scottish burgh of Kilmarnock in 1820, and continued to be produced and bottled at the town's Hill Street plant, once the world's largest bottling plant, until its closure in 2012, a decision announced by Diageo in 2009 which would bring the 190-year association between the brand and Kilmarnock to an end.

The brand was first established by grocer John Walker, a native of Kilmarnock, who originally established the business as a grocery shop in 1820, with his son Alexander "Alec" Walker and grandson Alexander Walker II, being largely responsible for establishing the whisky as a favoured brand. It is the world's highest selling Scotch whisky, sold in almost every country, with annual sales of the equivalent of over 223.7 million 700 mL (25 imp fl oz; 24 US fl oz) bottles in 2016 or 156,600,000 L (34,400,000 imp gal; 41,400,000 US gal).
