Saif bin Hamad Al Sharqi
Sheikh Saif bin Hamad Al Sharqi was the Sheikh of Fujairah from 1936–1938 and head of the Sharqiyin tribe.

Nominally a dependency of Sharjah, then Abu Dhabi, Fujairah was effectively independent following a number of conflicts, not least of which were with its neighbours, the Sharjah dependencies of Kalba and Khor Fakkan.

Sheikh Saif bin Hamad took over from his long-lived and strong father Hamad Al Sharqi, who had fought all his life for independence for Fujairah from Sharjah and for British recognition of Fujairah as a Trucial State in its own right. That dream would come true for his younger brother, Mohammed bin Hamad, who acceded in 1938 or 1939 on Saif's death.

Hamad bin Abdullah Al Sharqi
Sheikh Hamad bin Abdullah Al Sharqi was the first recognised leader of the Al Sharqi Ruling family of Fujairah, one of the Trucial States and today one of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). He led Fujairah in a number of insurrections against Al Qasimi rule, presiding over a turbulent time when the emirate was practically independent but denied recognition of status as a Trucial State in its own right by the British.

World Ninja League
The World Ninja League (WNL), formerly National Ninja League, is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to growing ninja-style obstacle course racing as a sport. In contrast to American Ninja Warrior, the WNL provides multiple competitions each season for athletes as young as 6 years old under a unified rule set.

Obstacle course racing
Obstacle course racing (OCR) is a sport in which a competitor, traveling on foot, must overcome various physical challenges in the form of obstacles. Races vary in length from courses with obstacles close together to events of several kilometers which incorporate elements of track, road and/or cross country/trail running. Courses may include climbing over walls or up ropes, monkey bars, carrying heavy objects, traversing bodies of water or mud, crawling under barbed wire, and jumping through fire.
Since the beginning of modern OCR with the Tough Guy Competition in 1987, the sport has grown in popularity such that more than 2500 events are held annually across the world and several run organizing companies are commercially successful.

Rocket Science Games was founded by serial startup entrepreneur Steve Blank in 1993. The staff included auteurs of video game design, such as Brian Moriarty and Will Harvey. Despite heavy promotion of the company and its products, all of its games reviewed and sold poorly, and the company turned out to be a high profile failure.
Briggsia
Briggsia is a genus of clingfishes so far only known from Rahah Bay, Oman. The only known member of the  genus is Briggsia hastingsi. This species grows to a length of 2.2 centimetres (0.87 in) SL.   It was described in 2009 from the only known specimen by Matthew T. Craig and John E. Randall. The generic name honours the clingfish systematicist John Carmon Briggs  (1920-2018) of the Georgia Museum of Natural History while the specific name honours Philip A. Hastings of the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, who was the PhD supervisor of Matthew T. Craig and who sparked his interest in clingfishes.

Gobiesocidae
Clingfishes are ray-finned fishes of the family Gobiesocidae, the only family in the suborder Gobiesocoidei of the order Blenniiformes. These fairly small to very small fishes are widespread in tropical and temperate regions, mostly near the coast, but a few species live in deeper seas or fresh water. Most species shelter in shallow reefs or seagrass beds, clinging to rocks, algae and seagrass leaves with their sucking disc, a structure on their chest.

They are generally too small to be of interest to fisheries, although the relatively large Sicyases sanguineus regularly is caught as a food fish, and some of the other species occasionally appear in the marine aquarium trade.

Vembaukum family
The Vembaukum or Vembakkam family were one of the two preeminent Brahmin dynasties in the Madras Presidency, dominating the Mylapore clique alongside the Calamur clan, and 'possess(ing) an enormous presence in the... bureaucracy of the capital and its surrounding district(s)', whose historical presence began in the 1820s, with the sprawling clan famously having begun holding yearly family conferences by the 1890s to preserve their dynastic unity, political cohesion and influence, and wealth.

Populated by numerous elite lawyers and administrators, the Vembaukum were originally Vadakalai Iyengars from Vembakkam in the Chingleput District of the Madras Presidency (in contrast to the Calamurs, who were Vadama Iyers from North Arcot). The Law Weekly, a legal journal, has been edited and published by the family for over a century.

Mylapore clique

Rawnsley's bowerbird
Rawnsley's bowerbird, also known as Rawnsley's satin bird or the blue regent, is a rare intergeneric hybrid between satin bowerbird (Ptilonorhynchus violaceus) and regent bowerbird (Sericulus chrysocephalus).

Regent bowerbird
The regent bowerbird (Sericulus chrysocephalus) is a medium-sized, up to 25 cm long, sexually dimorphic bowerbird. The male bird is black with a golden orange-yellow crown, mantle and black-tipped wing feathers. It has yellow bill, black feet and yellow iris. The female is a brown bird with whitish or fawn markings, grey bill, black feet and crown. The name commemorates a prince regent of the United Kingdom.
Empididae
Empididae is a family of flies with over 3,000 described species occurring worldwide in all the biogeographic realms but the majority are found in the Holarctic. They are mainly predatory flies like most of their relatives in the Empidoidea, and exhibit a wide range of forms but are generally small to medium-sized, non-metallic and rather bristly.

Common names for members of this family are dagger flies (referring to the sharp piercing mouthparts of some species) and balloon flies. The term "dance flies" is sometimes used for this family too, but the dance flies proper, formerly included herein, are now considered a separate family Hybotidae.

Atelestidae
Atelestidae is a family of flies in the superfamily Empidoidea. The four genera were placed in a separate family in 1983; they were formerly either in Platypezidae (which are not even particularly closely related) or considered incertae sedis. While they are doubtless sister to all other living Empidoidea, the monophyly of the family is not fully proven. The genus Nemedina seems to represent a most ancient lineage among the entire superfamily, while Meghyperus is probably not monophyletic in its present delimitation, and it is liable to be split up eventually, with some species being placed elsewhere. In 2010, the genus Alavesia, previously only known from Cretaceous fossils, was found alive in Namibia, subsequent species were also described from Brazil.

Atelestidae has been shown to form the sister group to the remaining members of the Empidoidea superfamily. Subfamilies include Atelestinae and Nemedininae.
