Halsa Municipality
Halsa is a former municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. The municipality existed from 1838 until 2020 when it became part of Heim Municipality in Trondelag county. It was part of the Nordmøre region. The administrative centre of Halsa was the village of Liabøen. Other villages in the municipality included Betna, Hennset, Klevset, Todalen, Halsa, Valsøyfjord, Engan, Hjellnes, and Valsøybotn.

Prior to its dissolution in 2020, the 301-square-kilometre (116 sq mi) municipality was the 279th largest by area out of the 422 municipalities in Norway. Halsa Municipality was the 349th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 1,574. The municipality's population density was 5.2 inhabitants per square kilometre (13/sq mi) and its population has decreased by 4.4% over the previous 10-year period.

Valsøybotn
Valsøybotn is a village in Heim Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. The village is located at the end of the Valsøyfjorden, about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) south of the village of Hjellnes and about 20 kilometres (12 mi) southeast of the village of Liabøen. The area was once part of Valsøyfjord Municipality and later it was part of Halsa Municipality before becoming part of Heim Municipality in 2020.
Maranhão
Maranhão (/ˌmɑːrəˈnjaʊn/, MAH-rə-NYOWN; Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation: [maɾɐˈɲɐ̃w] ⓘ) is a state in Brazil. Located in the country's Northeast Region, it has a population of about 7 million and an area of 332,000 km2 (128,000 sq mi) and it is divided into 217 municipalities. Clockwise from north, it borders on the Atlantic Ocean for 2,243 km and the states of Piauí, Tocantins and Pará. The people of Maranhão have a distinctive accent within the common Northeastern Brazilian dialect. Maranhão is described in literary works such as Exile Song by Gonçalves Dias and Casa de Pensão by Aluísio Azevedo.

The dunes of Lençóis are an important area of environmental preservation. Also of interest is the state capital of São Luís, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Another important conservation area is the Parnaíba River delta, between the states of Maranhão and Piauí, with its lagoons, desert dunes and deserted beaches or islands, such as Caju island, which shelters rare birds.

Pindaré River
The Pindaré River is a river in Maranhão state of north-central Brazil.

The Pindaré rises in the low hills which separate its basin from that of the Tocantins River to the south.
In its lower reaches it is called the Pindaré-Mirim. It is a left tributary of the Mearim River, which it joins not far from that river's mouth in the  Baía de São Marcos.
The Serra do Tiracambu lies to the west, and separates the basin of the Pindaré from that of the Gurupí River.

Part of the river's basin lies in the 271,197 hectares (670,140 acres) Gurupi Biological Reserve, a full protected conservation unit created in 1988. Average annual rainfall is 2,169 millimetres (85.4 in).
Temperatures range from 22 to 32 °C (72 to 90 °F) with an average of 27 °C (81 °F).
The Pindaré basin is home to tropical moist broadleaf forest, and the river divides the Tocantins–Araguaia–Maranhão moist forests to the west from the Maranhão Babaçu forests to the east.
Chalkidiki Province
Chalkidiki Province was one of the provinces of the Chalkidiki Prefecture, Greece. Its territory corresponded with that of the current municipalities Kassandra, Nea Propontida, Polygyros, and Sithonia. It was abolished in 2006.

Provinces of Greece
The provinces of Greece (Greek: επαρχία, "eparchy") were sub-divisions of some the country's prefectures. From 1887, the provinces were abolished as actual administrative units, but were retained for some state services, especially financial and educational services, as well as for electoral purposes. Before the Second World War, there were 139 provinces, and after the war, with the addition of the Dodecanese Islands, their number grew to 148. According to the Article 7 of the Code of Prefectural Self-Government (Presidential Decree 30/1996), the provinces constituted a "particular administrative district" within the wider "administrative district" of the prefectures. The provinces were finally abolished after the 2006 local elections, in line with Law 2539/1997, as part of the wide-ranging administrative reform known as the "Kapodistrias Project", and replaced by enlarged municipalities (demoi).
Genetic map function
In genetics, mapping functions are used to model the relationship between map distances (measured in map units or centimorgans) and recombination frequencies, particularly as these measurements relate to regions encompassed between genetic markers. One utility of this approach is that it allows one to obtain values for distances in genetic mapping units directly from recombination fractions, as map distances cannot typically be obtained from empirical experiments.

The simplest mapping function is the Morgan Mapping Function, eponymously devised by Thomas Hunt Morgan. Other well-known mapping functions include the Haldane Mapping Function introduced by J. B. S. Haldane in 1919, and the Kosambi Mapping Function introduced by Damodar Dharmananda Kosambi in 1944. Few mapping functions are used in practice other than Haldane and Kosambi. The main difference between them is in how crossover interference is incorporated.

Centimorgan
In genetics, a centimorgan (abbreviated cM) or map unit (m.u.) is a unit for measuring genetic linkage.  It is defined as the distance between chromosome positions (also termed loci or markers) for which the expected average number of intervening chromosomal crossovers in a single generation is 0.01.  It is often used to infer distance along a chromosome. However, it is not a true physical distance.
George Clark Williams
His Honour Sir George Clark Williams, 1st Baronet, QC (2 November 1878 – 15 October 1958), was a Welsh lawyer and County Court judge.

Born in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, Williams practiced as a solicitor, then as a barrister in Wales. He served in the British Army during the First World War. He unsuccessfully contested Llanelli as a National Liberal in the 1922 general election. Made a King's Counsel in 1934, he was appointed a County Court judge in 1935 on Circuit No. 30 (Glamorganshire), serving until 1948 when he was appointed Deputy National Insurance Commissioner for Wales, serving until 1950.

He was Lord Lieutenant of Carmarthenshire from 1949 until 1953.

The Williams Baronetcy, of Llanelly in the County of Carmarthen, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom for him in 1955.  The baronetcy became extinct on his death in 1958.

This is a list of people who have served as Lord Lieutenant of Carmarthenshire. After 1762, all Lord Lieutenants were also Custos Rotulorum of Carmarthenshire.  The office was abolished on 31 March 1974 and replaced by the Lord Lieutenant of Dyfed.
Faro (card game)
Faro (/ˈfɛəroʊ/ FAIR-oh), pharaoh, pharao, or farobank is a late 17th-century French gambling game using cards. It is descended from basset, and belongs to the lansquenet and monte bank family of games due to the use of a banker and several players. Winning or losing occurs when cards turned up by the banker match those already exposed.

It is not a direct relative of poker, but faro was often just as popular due to its fast action, easy-to-learn rules, and better odds than most games of chance. The game of faro is played with only one deck of cards and admits any number of players.

Popular in North America during the 19th century, Faro was eventually overtaken by poker as the preferred card game of gamblers in the early 20th century.

Variants include German faro, Jewish faro, and ladies' faro.

Monte bank
Monte bank, mountebank, Spanish monte and Mexican monte, sometimes just monte, is a Spanish gambling card game and was known in the 19th century as the national card game of Mexico. It ultimately derives from basset, where the banker (dealer) pays on matching cards. The term "monte" has also been used for a variety of other gambling games, especially varieties of three-card poker, and for the swindle three-card monte.

Vectorbeam
Vectorbeam was an arcade game manufacturer active in the late 1970s who specialized in vector graphics-based arcade games. It was formed after splitting off from its primary competitor, Cinematronics, and disappeared after re-merging with them soon after.

Vectorbeam was founded by Larry Rosenthal based on his graduate work from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and which he patented for a custom arcade vector display. Vectorbeam was in direct competition with other arcade game manufacturers. The company ceased operations soon after poor sales of its Barrier arcade game, and sold its assets to Cinematronics.

Cinematronics
Cinematronics Inc. was an American video game publisher that primarily released arcade video games. Cinematronics and Atari, Inc. released vector-display games, which offered a distinctive look and a greater graphic capability (at the time), at the cost of being only black and white (initially). Cinematronics also published Dragon's Lair in 1983, the first major LaserDisc video game.

Sebaea
Sebaea is a genus of annual plants in the family Gentianaceae. Species occur in Africa, Madagascar, India, China, Thailand, Australia and New Zealand. The genus was paraphyletic and has been split in four genera: Exochaenium, Klackenbergia, Lagenias and Sebaea s.str.. Synapomorphies for Sebaea s.str. include the presence of extra stigma along the style (called diplostigmaty) and the shape of the testa cells of the seeds.

The name honors Albertus Seba (1665–1736), a Dutch pharmacist, zoologist and collector.

Species include (non exhaustive list):

Gentianaceae
Gentianaceae is a family of flowering plants of 105 genera and about 1650 species. Species in this family inhabit every continent except the antarctic, and have been used around the world for centuries as traditional medicine.
Compressibility
In thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, the compressibility (also known as the coefficient of compressibility or, if the temperature is held constant, the isothermal compressibility) is a measure of the instantaneous relative volume change of a fluid or solid as a response to a pressure (or mean stress) change. In its simple form, the compressibility  (denoted β in some fields) may be expressed as

,

where V is volume and p is pressure. The choice to define compressibility as the negative of the fraction makes compressibility positive in the (usual) case that an increase in pressure induces a reduction in volume. The reciprocal of compressibility at fixed temperature is called the isothermal bulk modulus.

Volume (thermodynamics)
In thermodynamics, the volume of a system is an important extensive parameter for describing its thermodynamic state. The specific volume, an intensive property, is the system's volume per unit mass. Volume is a function of state and is interdependent with other thermodynamic properties such as pressure and temperature. For example, volume is related to the pressure and temperature of an ideal gas by the ideal gas law.
The physical region covered by a system may or may not coincide with a control volume used to analyze the system.
Port of Kuala Tanjung
Port of Kuala Tanjung is a sea port in Batubara Regency, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Once fully functional, the port can accommodate 60 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) per year as the biggest port in West Indonesia, bigger than Port of Tanjung Priok in Jakarta. The first phase of development of Kuala Tanjung Multipurpose Terminal was inaugurated in 2018. The first ship to dock at the port was the cruise ship SuperStar Libra on 5 April 2018 from Port Klang, Malaysia. The port made its debut in the global container market, with its first shipment on 28 March, 2020.

Batubara Regency
Batubara Regency is a regency on North Sumatra's eastern shoreline, with the town of Limapuluh as the seat of its administration. It was carved out from the seven most westerly coastal districts of Asahan Regency with effect from 15 June 2007. The new regency covers an area of 887.89 km2, and had a population of 375,885 at the 2010 Census and 410,678 at the 2020 Census, of whom 206,551 were male and 204,127 were female; the official estimate as at mid 2024 was 437,360 - comprising 219,965 males and 217,396 females. It's quite densely populated compared to countries like China or Japan.
Soy egg
A soy egg (a.k.a. a braised egg) is a type of egg in Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, and Mauritian cuisine which is boiled, peeled, and then cooked in a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, water, and other optional herbs and spices, like star anise or cinnamon. Other ingredients such as meat, vegetables and tofu can be cooked in the same red cooking method, resulting in dishes generally referred to as lou mei. Soy eggs can be made from chicken, duck, and quail eggs.

This preparation is very similar to that of tea eggs. A soy egg that has been repeatedly stewed and dried until dark and chewy is called iron egg.

Tea egg
Tea egg is a Chinese savory food commonly sold as a snack, in which a boiled egg is cracked slightly and then boiled again in tea, and sauce or spices. It is also known as marble egg because cracks in the egg shell create darkened lines with marble-like patterns. Commonly sold by street vendors or in night markets in most Chinese communities throughout the world, it is also served in Asian restaurants. Although it originated from China and is traditionally associated with Chinese cuisine, other similar recipes and variations have been developed throughout Asia. Tea eggs originated in Zhejiang province as a way to preserve food for a long time but are now found in all provinces.
Blanchard's cricket frog
Blanchard's cricket frog (Acris blanchardi) is a species of frog in the family Hylidae. It is a small, dark colored frog that is threatened or endangered in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Studies have been done to see why the population of the frog is beginning to decrease in those states. Blanchard's cricket frogs are commonly found in wetlands, ponds, and/or near row crop agriculture. The average life span for this frog is about one year, which is why the species is considered to be short-lived. Little is known about the interactions and basic ecology, even though populations are decreasing. Blanchard's cricket frog was formerly considered to be a subspecies of the northern cricket frog.

Northern cricket frog
The northern cricket frog (Acris crepitans) is a species of small hylid frog native to the United States and northeastern Mexico. These frogs are majorly in grey, green, and brown color with blotching patterns. Many have a brown or orange stripe down the center of their back and a triangular marking on the top of their head. Despite being members of the tree frog family, they are not arboreal. These frogs prefer habitats near the edges of slow-moving bodies of water, and in close proximity to shelter items, like rocks. It has two recognized subspecies, A. c. crepitans and A. c. paludicola.
