Central Park mandarin duck
The Central Park mandarin duck, also known as Mandarin Patinkin or the Hot Duck, is a male mandarin duck seen at the Pond in New York City's Central Park starting in late 2018. His colorful appearance, which contrasted with native waterfowl, combined with his presence far outside of the species' native range of East Asia, led to media attention from late 2018 through 2019. Though he has a band around his leg, his origin is undetermined. His last sighting was in March 2019. In 2021, entertainer Bette Midler published a children's book about him. In 2023, filmmaker Kevin Schreck released a short documentary about the bird, The Duck of New York.  The film had its world premiere at the 2023 Coney Island Film Festival.

Bird ringing
Bird ringing (UK) or bird banding (US) is the attachment of a small, individually numbered metal or plastic tag to the leg or wing of a wild bird to enable individual identification. This helps in keeping track of the movements of the bird and its life history. It is common to take measurements and examine the conditions of feather moult, subcutaneous fat, age indications and sex during capture for ringing. The subsequent recapture, recovery, or observation of the bird can provide information on migration, longevity, mortality, population, territoriality, feeding behaviour, and other aspects that are studied by ornithologists. Other methods of marking birds may also be used to allow for field based identification that does not require capture.
First solo flight
A first solo flight is when a student aircraft pilot completes a short flight, including a takeoff and landing, without an instructor aboard. Achieving this milestone is known as soloing. In a more general sense, a "solo flight" or "solo time" refers to any flight time when a "pilot is the sole occupant in the aircraft."

When piloting an aircraft solo, a pilot must not only fly and navigate the machine competently, but must also be able to manage unpredictable developments, such as mechanical failure or bad weather.

Flight instructor
A flight instructor is a person who teaches others to operate aircraft. Specific privileges granted to holders of a flight instructor qualification vary from country to country, but very generally, a flight instructor serves to enhance or evaluate the knowledge and skill level of an aviator in pursuit of a higher pilot's license, certificate or rating.

Kevin Francis Tully (born 18 December 1952) is an English former footballer. A left winger, he made 164 league appearances in a nine-year career in the Football League.

He began his career with non-League Prestwich Heys before signing with Blackpool in 1972. He transferred to Cambridge United the following year, before joining Crewe Alexandra in 1975. After three seasons with the "Railwaymen", he was traded to Port Vale in a player-exchange deal in October 1978.

Issus (planthopper)
Issus is a genus of planthoppers belonging to the family Issidae of infraorder Fulgoromorpha of suborder Auchenorrhyncha of order Hemiptera. Like most members of the order Hemiptera (popularly known as the "bug" or "true bugs" order) they live on phloem sap that they extract with their piercing, sucking mouth parts.

Planthoppers are the only animals known to possess a gear mechanism, and Issus coleoptratus is the first type of planthopper to have the mechanism formally described. The mesh sector gears do not transform velocity or torque, and they do not convey much of the power; they only synchronize the jumping motion of the hind legs, preventing yaw (rotation).

Planthopper
A planthopper is any insect in the infraorder Fulgoromorpha, in the suborder Auchenorrhyncha, a group exceeding 12,500 described species worldwide. The name comes from their remarkable resemblance to leaves and other plants of their environment and that they often "hop" for quick transportation in a similar way to that of grasshoppers. However, planthoppers generally walk very slowly. Distributed worldwide, all members of this group are plant-feeders, though few are considered pests. Fulgoromorphs are most reliably distinguished from the other Auchenorrhyncha by two features: the bifurcate (Y-shaped) anal vein in the forewing, and the thickened, three-segmented antennae, with a generally round or egg-shaped second segment (pedicel) that bears a fine filamentous arista.

HD 92209
HD 92209 (HR 4170) is a probable spectroscopic binary in the southern circumpolar constellation Chamaeleon. It has an apparent magnitude of 6.29, placing it near the max naked eye visibility. Parallax measurements place the system at a distance of 600 light years and is currently receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of almost 18 km/s.

The visible component has a stellar classification of K2 III, indicating that it is a red giant. As a consequence, it has expanded to 14.39 times the radius of the Sun. Nevertheless, it has 122% the mass of the Sun and shines with a luminosity of 81.3 L☉, yielding an effective temperature of 4,460 K from its enlarged photosphere, which in turn gives an orange hue. HD 92209 has a metallicity 115% that of the Sun and spins leisurely with a projected rotational velocity lower than 1 km/s.

Metre per second
The metre per second  is the unit of both speed (a scalar quantity) and velocity (a vector quantity, which has direction and magnitude) in the International System of Units (SI), equal to the speed of a body covering a distance of one metre in a time of one second. As the base unit for speed in the SI, it is commonly used in physics, mechanics, and engineering contexts. It represents both scalar speed and vector velocity, depending on context. According to the definition of metre, 1 m/s is exactly ⁠1/299792458⁠ of the speed of light.

The SI unit symbols are m/s, m·s−1, m s−1, or ⁠m/s⁠.
El cholo que se castró
"El cholo que se castró" is a short story by Ecuadorian writer Demetrio Aguilera Malta, published in 1930 as part of the short story collection Los que se van. The plot follows the story of Nicasio Yagual, a cholo who, throughout his life, has committed rapes and murders driven by lust, but ultimately reflects on his actions and decides to take extreme measures to end his desires.

Like the other stories in Los que se van, the narrative is written in a colloquial and raw language and focuses on the lives of montubio and cholo characters from rural coastal Ecuador. Some academic interpretations identify in the story elements that foreshadow what would later become the Latin American artistic movement of magical realism.

Cholo
Cholo (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈtʃolo]) was a racial category used in 18th-century Spanish America to refer to people who were three-quarters Amerindian by descent and one-quarter Spanish. Its origin is a somewhat derogatory term for people of mixed-blood heritage in the Spanish Empire in Latin America and its successor states as part of castas, the informal ranking of society by heritage. Cholo no longer necessarily refers only to ethnic heritage, and is not always meant negatively. Cholo can signify anything from its original sense as a person with one Indigenous parent and one mestizo parent, "gangster" in Mexico, an insult in some South American countries (similar to chulo in Spain), or a "person who dresses in the manner of a certain subculture" in the United States as part of the cholo subculture.
