Local Government (Electoral Legislation and Māori Wards and Māori Constituencies) Amendment Act 2024
The Local Government (Electoral Legislation and Māori Wards and Māori Constituencies) Amendment Act 2024 is a New Zealand Act of Parliament which reinstates the poll requirements for Māori wards and constituencies. It requires local and regional councils that have established Māori wards and constituencies since 2020 without holding a referendum to hold one at the 2025 New Zealand local elections. The bill was one of the key commitments of the Sixth National Government that was formed following the 2023 New Zealand general election. It passed its third reading and became law on 30 July 2024.

2025 New Zealand local elections
The 2025 New Zealand local elections (Māori: Nga Pōtitanga ā-Rohe 2025) were triennial elections held from 9 September until 11 October 2025 to elect local mayors and councillors, regional councillors, and members of various other local government bodies.

All 11 of New Zealand's regions and 66 of New Zealand's 67 cities and districts participated in the elections; 42 councils also held local referendums on the status of Māori wards. Tauranga City Council did not hold an election or a referendum as they recently held  an election in 2024.

Raditladi (crater)
Raditladi is a large impact crater on Mercury with a diameter of 263 km. Inside its peak ring there is a system of concentric extensional troughs (graben), which are rare surface features on Mercury. The floor of Raditladi is partially covered by relatively light smooth plains, which are thought to be a product of the effusive volcanism. The troughs may also have resulted from volcanic processes under the floor of Raditladi. The basin is relatively young, probably younger than one billion years, with only a few small impact craters on its floor and with well-preserved basin walls and peak-ring structure.  It is one of 110 peak ring basins on Mercury.

Peak ring
A peak ring crater is a type of complex crater, which is different from a multi-ringed basin or central-peak crater. A central peak is not seen; instead, a roughly circular ring or plateau, possibly discontinuous, surrounds the crater's center, with the crater rim still farther out from the center.
Ilulu
Ilulu or Elulu (died c. 2189 BC), according to the Sumerian King List, was one of four rivals (the others being Igigi, Imi, and Nanum) vying to be king of Akkad during a three-year period following the death of Shar-Kali-Sharri. This chaotic period came to an end when Dudu consolidated his power over the realm.

While there is virtually no surviving evidence dating from this short timespan, thought to correspond with the first Gutian inroads into Akkadian territory, it has been suggested that this Ilulu is to be identified as the same as the Gutian king Elulmesh, also known from the kinglist.

Igigi of Akkad
Igigi (died c. 2192 BC), according to the Sumerian King List, was one of four rivals (the others being Ilulu, Imi, and Nanum) vying to be king of Akkad during a three-year period following the death of Shar-Kali-Sharri.

Federico Capasso
Federico Capasso (born 1949) is an Italian-American applied physicist and is one of the inventors of the quantum cascade laser during his work at Bell Laboratories. He is currently on the faculty of Harvard University.

Quantum-cascade laser
Quantum-cascade lasers (QCLs) are semiconductor lasers that emit in the mid- to far-infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum and were first demonstrated by Jérôme Faist, Federico Capasso, Deborah Sivco, Carlo Sirtori, Albert Hutchinson, and Alfred Cho at Bell Laboratories in 1994.

Unlike typical interband semiconductor lasers that emit electromagnetic radiation through the recombination of electron–hole pairs across the material band gap, QCLs are unipolar, and laser emission is achieved through the use of intersubband transitions in a repeated stack of semiconductor multiple quantum well heterostructures, an idea first proposed in the article "Possibility of amplification of electromagnetic waves in a semiconductor with a superlattice" by R. F. Kazarinov and R. A. Suris in 1971.

Noctilucales
The Noctilucales are an order of marine dinoflagellates. They differ from most others in that the mature cell is diploid and its nucleus does not show a dinokaryotic organization. They show gametic meiosis.

Noctiluca
Noctiluca is a genus of dinoflagellates in the family Noctilucaceae. Its only species is Noctiluca scintillans, a marine species that can exist in a green or red form, depending on the pigmentation in its vacuoles. It can be found worldwide, but its geographical distribution varies depending on whether it is green or red. This unicellular microorganism is known for its ability to bioluminesce, giving the water a bright blue glow seen at night. However, blooms of this species can be responsible for environmental hazards, such as toxic red tides. They may also be an indicator of anthropogenic eutrophication.
Columbus Line Subdivision
The Columbus Line Subdivision is a railroad line owned by CSX Transportation in the U.S. state of Ohio. The line runs from Galion south to Columbus along a former New York Central Railroad line.

At its north end, the Columbus Line Subdivision meets the Greenwich Subdivision (northeast towards Cleveland) and the Mount Victory Subdivision (west towards Indianapolis). At its south end, it connects with the Columbus Subdivision (north towards Toledo and south towards Kentucky) and the Western Branch (northwest towards Toledo).

Trains that run on the Columbus Line Subdivision as of July 2019 are Q634 Columbus to Selkirk, Q635 Selkirk to Columbus, Y222 Columbus to Worthington, and D756 Crestline to Columbus (Turn). A few grain trains run on this line as well.

Columbus Subdivision
The Columbus Subdivision is a freight railroad line extending from Columbus, Ohio, north to Fostoria, Ohio. The line is currently owned by CSX Transportation.

This rail line is a mostly double-tracked route that sees a relatively high amount of traffic per day. Unit coal trains are very common on the Columbus Subdivision, but a large variety of commodities travel along the line. The line is controlled via a Centralized Traffic Control system that allows for a high throughput of trains. Direct Traffic Control is also used along the subdivision to separate trains, with a large number of DTC Blocks named after nearby municipalities.

The Columbus Subdivision should not be confused with CSX's Columbus Line Subdivision, which stretches from Columbus, Ohio, to Galion, Ohio, and is located several miles east of the Columbus Subdivision.

Urschel had collected and left considerable evidence that assisted the subsequent FBI investigation, which eventually led to Kelly's arrest in Memphis on September 26, 1933. His crimes also included bootlegging and armed robbery.
