Odo of Lucca
Odo or Otto, bishop of Lucca (Otto Lucensis), the bishop of Lucca from 1137, was an early patron of Peter Lombard, responsible, as a letter of Bernard of Clairvaux makes clear, for sending Peter to the schools of Paris.

Odo had spent several formative years studying in cathedral schools in the north of France. He had been impressed by the systemizing of theology expressed in the teachings of Anselm of Laon and Hugh of St Victor; his own systematic compilation along the lines of their work, Summa Sententiarum, left incomplete c1138, has survived in about twenty-five manuscripts, eight of which explicitly recognize Odo's authorship: it formed the basis of Peter's compilation.

Peter Lombard
Peter Lombard (also Peter the Lombard, Pierre Lombard or Petrus Lombardus; c. 1096 – 21/22 August 1160) was an Italian scholastic theologian, Bishop of Paris, and author of the Sentences, which became the standard medieval textbook of theology.

Their name is also spelled Rákoci (in Slovakia), Rakoczi and Rakoczy in some foreign sources. The family was named after Rákóc (Rakovec, now Rakovec nad Ondavou, Slovakia).

The family originated from the Bogátradvány clan which had Bohemian roots, according to Simon of Kéza's chronicle. The foundations for the family's wealth and power were laid down by Sigismund Rákóczi; some decades into the 17th century, the Rákóczis became the wealthiest aristocrats of Hungary. Most famous was Francis II Rákóczi, who led an unsuccessful revolt against Habsburg rule between 1703 and 1711, that was Rákóczi's War of Independence.

Bogátradvány (gens)
Bogátradvány (Bogát-Radván, Bogát-Radvány) was the name of a gens (Latin for "clan"; nemzetség in Hungarian) in the Kingdom of Hungary. The powerful Rákóczi family ascended from this gens.

The Cseleji, Dobi, Körtvélyessy, Hosszúmezei, Lukács, Morvay, Osvald, Posai, Bekecs and Isépy families also originated from the gens Bogátradvány.
Reflection seismology
Reflection seismology (or seismic reflection) is a method of exploration geophysics that uses the principles of seismology to estimate the properties of the Earth's subsurface from reflected seismic waves. The method requires a controlled seismic source of energy, such as dynamite or Tovex blast, a specialized air gun or a seismic vibrator. Reflection seismology is similar to sonar and echolocation.

Geophone
A geophone is a device that converts ground movement (velocity) into voltage, which may be recorded at a recording station. The deviation of this measured voltage from the base line is called the seismic response and is analyzed for structure of the Earth.
Constantia (wine)
Constantia, a South African dessert wine, is made from Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains (Muscat de Frontignan) grapes grown in the district of Constantia, City of Cape Town. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries it was widely exported to Europe. However, production of Constantia ceased in the late-nineteenth century following the devastation of South African vineyards in the phylloxera epidemic. Production resumed at Klein Constantia in 1986, at Groot Constantia in 2003 and at Buitenverwachting in 2007.

Groot Constantia
Groot Constantia is the oldest wine estate in South Africa and provincial heritage site in the suburb of Constantia in Cape Town, South Africa.

John P. Devaney (fireboat)
The John P. Devaney was a fireboat operated briefly by the Fire Department of New York City in 1994. It was named after a firefighter who lost his life in the line of duty.

The John P. Devaney and her sister ship, the Alfred E. Ronaldson, were experimental surface-effect ship designs related to hovercraft.
They had a pair of catamaran hulls.  A rubber skirt between the hulls could be inflated by powerful fans, enabling them to travel at over 30 knots (56 km/h).  The fibreclass hulls were shipped from Europe, equipped with a high-tech sensor suite.

At $3.5 million each, the vessels were expensive. After being commissioned in June 1992, but were operated for only five months, withdrawn in November 1992 because their maintenance was too complicated.

Alfred E. Ronaldson (fireboat)
The Alfred E. Ronaldson was a fireboat operated briefly by the Fire Department of New York City in 1994. The boat was named after a firefighter who lost his life in the line of duty.

The Alfred E. Ronaldson, and her sister ship, the John P. Devaney, were experimental "surface effect ship" designs, a design related to hovercraft.
The vessels had a pair of catamaran hulls.  A rubber skirt between the two hulls could be inflated by powerful fans, and this enabled her to travel at over 30 knots (56 km/h).  The vessels' fiberclass hulls were shipped from Europe.  They came equipped with a high-tech sensor suite.

The vessels were expensive, costing $3.5 million each.  But after they were commissioned in June 1992 they only had an operational service span of five months, being withdrawn in November 1992 as their maintenance was too complicated.

Round Top (Contra Costa County, California)
Round Top is an extinct volcano located in the Berkeley Hills, just east of Oakland, California, within Contra Costa County.  The peak is part of the Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve, which was originally established in 1936 as Round Top Regional Park. This park was one of the first three parks in the East Bay Regional Parks District. The park was renamed Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve in 1958 in honor of Robert Sibley, the second president of the park district, shortly after his death in 1958.

The volcanic activity that created Round Top began approximately 10.2 million years ago and continued for over one million years. The area has two known main volcanic vents: one under the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the other at Round Top itself. Over time, the Round Top vent has tilted and fallen sideways, a testament to the geological changes that have shaped the region over millions of years.

Berkeley Hills
The Berkeley Hills are a range of the Pacific Coast Ranges, and overlook the northeast side of the valley that encompasses San Francisco Bay. They were previously called the "Contra Costa Range/Hills" (from the original Spanish Sierra de la Contra Costa), but with the establishment of Berkeley and the University of California, the name was updated by geographers and gazetteers.
