Mikania
Mikania is a genus of about 450 species of plants in the tribe Eupatorieae within the family Asteraceae.

The name honors the Czech botanist Johann Christian Mikan, 1743–1814. Members of the genus are stem twiners and lianas and are common in the neotropical flora. Mikania originates from South America.  A few species, such as Mikania scandens, are found in temperate areas of North and South America, and nine species are known from the Old World tropics.  As with other plants in the tribe Eupatorieae, the flowers have disc florets and no ray florets.

The species  Mikania laevigata and Mikania glomerata, also known as guaco, are popular in herbal medicine.

Mikania micrantha is a widespread weed in the tropics. It grows very quickly (as fast as 80 mm in 24 hours for a young plant) and covers other plants. People have looked into controlling it with herbicides, parasitic plants, fungi and insects.

Mikania scandens
Mikania scandens is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. Its common names include climbing hempvine, climbing hempweed, and louse-plaster. It is native to the eastern and central United States, with its distribution extending into Tamaulipas, Mexico. Reports of its presence in Ontario, Canada are erroneous. It is an introduced and invasive species on many Pacific Islands and in parts of southern Asia.
Module pattern
In software engineering, the module pattern is a design pattern used to implement the concept of software modules, defined by modular programming, in a programming language with incomplete direct support for the concept.

This pattern can be implemented in several ways depending on the host programming language, such as the singleton design pattern, object-oriented static members in a class and procedural global functions. In Python, the pattern is built into the language, and each .py file is automatically a module. The same applies to Ada, where the package can be considered a module (similar to a static class).

Modular programming
Modular programming is a programming paradigm that emphasizes organizing the functions of a codebase into independent modules – each providing an aspect of a computer program in its entirety without providing other aspects.

A module interface expresses the elements that are provided and required by the module. The elements defined in the interface are detectable by other modules. The implementation contains the working code that corresponds to the elements declared in the interface.

Cyclone Vaianu
Severe Tropical Cyclone Vaianu was the fourth named tropical cyclone of the 2005–06 South Pacific cyclone season. The system formed on February 11, and moved generally towards  the south throughout its life. Vaianu ultimately peaked with winds corresponding to Category 1 status on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale, and passed between Fiji and Tonga. Moving into cooler waters, the storm dissipated on February 16. Although the cyclone avoided land for the most part, it caused heavy rainfall and gusty winds in portions of Tonga. Flooding hit the capital city of Nuku'alofa, and on some islands, the storm destroyed crops.

2005–06 South Pacific cyclone season
The 2005–06 South Pacific cyclone season was an event in the annual cycle of tropical cyclone formation. It began on November 1, 2005, and ended on April 30, 2006. These dates conventionally delimit the period of each year when most tropical cyclones form in the southern Pacific Ocean east of 160°E. Additionally, the regional tropical cyclone operational plan defines a tropical cyclone year separately from a tropical cyclone season, and the "tropical cyclone year" runs from July 1, 2005, to June 30, 2006.

Tropical cyclones between 160°E and 120°W and north of 25°S are monitored by the Fiji Meteorological Service in Nadi. Those that move south of 25°S are monitored by the Tropical Cyclone Warning Centre in Wellington, New Zealand.
2026 Washington State Senate election
The 2026 Washington State Senate election will be held on November 3, 2026, alongside the other 2026 United States elections. Voters will elect 24 of the 49 the members of the Washington State Senate in the U.S. state of Washington's legislative districts to serve a four-year term.

This will be the first electoral cycle for this cohort of State Senators using the new legislative district boundaries after the court ordered redistricting in 2024. The redistricting was triggered when U.S. District Court Judge for the Western District of Washington Robert Lasnik ruled that the 15th District as it was drawn in 2022 was in violation of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The seats up for election in the State Senate in 2026 that had boundary changes due to this redistricting are District 7, District 8, District 13, District 15, and District 31.

The district is in the extreme northeast of the state and borders Canada's British Columbia on the north and Idaho on the east. It includes all of Douglas, Ferry, Okanogan, Pend Orielle, and Stevens counties, along with portions of Grant and Spokane counties. An earlier redistricting proposal from 2021 would have divided Okanogan County between the 7th and 13th districts.

The largely rural district is represented by Shelly Short in the state senate and state representatives Andrew Engell (R-pos. 1) and Hunter Abell (R-pos. 2).

U Can Never B2 Straight
U Can Never B2 Straight is an album by English singer and songwriter Boy George, released in 2002 by Virgin Records. It includes acoustic songs from George's then-new London play Taboo, new and previously unreleased songs, as well as selected songs taken from his albums Cheapness and Beauty (1995) and The Martyr Mantras (1990), the latter from when George was part of the band Jesus Loves You.

Taboo (musical)
Taboo is a stage musical with a book by Mark Davies Markham (extensively rewritten for the Broadway production by Charles Busch), lyrics by Boy George, and music by George, John Themis, Richie Stevens, and Kevan Frost.

Set in an abandoned London warehouse, the show tells the story of a group of people (partly based on real people and partly fictional), some of whom had been connected to the New Romantic club scene some years earlier, culminating with the opening of the now-legendary Taboo (1985–87) of the title, which was the creation of Leigh Bowery, at the end of Act I. Boy George is featured as one of the club's regulars, as he was known to have been in the 1980s, and the show also focuses on George's life prior to and after achieving fame.
Dispersion (geology)
Dispersion is a process that occurs in soils that are particularly vulnerable to erosion by water. In soil layers where clays are saturated with sodium ions ("sodic soils"), soil can break down very easily into fine particles and wash away. This can lead to a variety of soil and water quality problems, including:

large soil losses by gully erosion and tunnel erosion

Soil structural degradation, clogging and sealing where dispersed particles settle

Suspended soil causing turbidity in water and transporting nutrients off the land.

Soil salinity
Soil salinity is the salt content in the soil; the process of increasing the salt content is known as salinization (also called salination in American English). Salts occur naturally within soils and water. Salinization can be caused by natural processes such as mineral weathering or by the gradual withdrawal of an ocean. It can also come about through artificial processes such as irrigation and road salt.
