2002 Alabama lieutenant gubernatorial election
The 2002 Alabama lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on November 5, 2002, to elect the lieutenant governor of Alabama. Republican incumbent Steve Windom did not seek a second term, instead unsuccessfully running in the Republican primary for governor. Democratic Alabama state treasurer Lucy Baxley won the election, defeating Republican Alabama state senator Bill Armistead by 4.72 percentage points.

With her victory, Baxley became the first woman to be elected lieutenant governor of Alabama.

Lucy Baxley
Lucy Mae Bruner Baxley Smith (December 21, 1937 – October 14, 2016) was an American politician who served from 2003 to 2007 as the 28th lieutenant governor of Alabama and from 2008 to 2012 as president of the Alabama Public Service Commission. She was the first woman to hold the state's office of lieutenant governor. In 2006, she was the unsuccessful Democratic nominee for governor. In 2008,  Baxley was elected President of the Alabama Public Service Commission, and was the only Democrat to win statewide that year. Until Doug Jones's swearing in after winning a 2017 U.S. Senate special election, Baxley had been the last Democrat to hold statewide office in Alabama. Baxley is the last statewide Democratic candidate to win over 50% of the vote.
14789 GAISH
14789 GAISh, provisional designation 1969 TY1, is a dark background asteroid from the outer regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 15 kilometers (9 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 8 October 1969, by Soviet astronomer Lyudmila Chernykh of the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory at Nauchnij, on the Crimean peninsula. The assumed C-type asteroid has a rotation period of 8.1 hours and possibly an elongated shape. It was named for the Russian Sternberg Astronomical Institute (GAISh) of Moscow State University.

C-type asteroid
C-type (carbonaceous /ˌkɑːrbəˈneɪʃəs/) asteroids are the most common variety, forming around 75% of known asteroids. They are volatile-rich and distinguished by a very low albedo because their composition includes a large amount of carbon, in addition to rocks and minerals. They have an average density of about 1.7 g/cm3.

They lie most often at the outer edge of the asteroid belt, 3.5 au (520 million km; 330 million mi) from the Sun, where 80% of the asteroids are of this type, whereas only 40% of asteroids at 2 au (300 million km; 190 million mi) from the Sun are C-type. The proportion of C-types may actually be greater than this, since C-types are much darker (and hence less detectable) than most other asteroid types, except for D-types and others that lie mostly at the extreme outer edge of the asteroid belt.

Martin Talty
Martin Talty (Glendine, Milltown Malbay, 10 November 1920 – 16 March 1983 was an Irish uilleann pipes and flute player.

Talty started playing the tin whistle, later progressing to the flute. It was under the influence of Johnny Doran (who was playing at the Milltown Races in 1936) that he came into contact with the uilleann pipes.

Talty was one of the founding fathers of the Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann in County Clare in 1954. He was also involved in the organizing committee of the first Fleadh Cheoil in Ennis in 1956 and those in Milltown Malbay in 1957 and 1961.

Talty played the uilleann pipes in both the Laichtín Naofa Céilí Band and in The Tulla Céilí Band.

He attended the same primary school as Willie Clancy, and the two developed a life-long friendship,  strengthened by playing the same instruments. After Clancy's death, he was one of the founder of the Willie Clancy Summer School.

Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann

Peveril of the Peak
Peveril of the Peak (1823) is the longest novel by Walter Scott. Along with Ivanhoe, Kenilworth, and Woodstock this is one of the English novels in the Waverley novels series, with the main action taking place around 1678 in the Peak District, the Isle of Man, and London, and centring on the Popish Plot.

Kenilworth (novel)

Happy Birthday (Birthday Party song)
"Happy Birthday" is a 1980 song by The Boys Next Door. It was released as a single on 16 February 1980 on Missing Link. The song is not related to the popular birthday song "Happy Birthday to You". The first album it appeared on was The Birthday Party. It was later included as track two on the 1992 compilation Hits.

The release of the single was part of the band's rebranding of themselves as The Birthday Party before their relocation to London.  It is notable for several reasons.  The mundanity of the song's lyrical subject matter, an eleven-year-old boy's birthday party, contrasts strongly to the discordance of the music.  The song is also a showcase for the sub-vocalisations that marked Nick Cave's early singing style, including grunts, wordless shrieks and on two occasions an impersonation of a barking dog.

Happy Birthday to You
"Happy Birthday to You", or simply "Happy Birthday", is an American song traditionally sung to celebrate a person's birthday. According to the 1998 Guinness World Records, it is the most recognized song in the English language, followed by "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow". The song's base lyrics have been translated into at least 18 languages. The melody of "Happy Birthday to You" comes from the song "Good Morning to All", which has traditionally been attributed to American sisters Patty and Mildred J. Hill in 1893, although the claim that the sisters composed the tune is disputed.

The song is in the public domain in the United States and the European Union. Warner Chappell Music had previously claimed copyright on the song in the US and collected licensing fees for its use; in 2015, the copyright claim was declared invalid and Warner Chappell agreed to pay back $14 million in licensing fees.

This was the 12th and final year in which the first overall pick was a "lottery bonus". The Chicago Cardinals were automatically awarded the pick because it was the only team left that had not won the draft lottery yet. The Cardinals used the first pick to select quarterback King Hill.
Irreligion in Germany
Irreligion is prevalent in Germany. In a time of near-universal adoption of Christianity, Germany was an intellectual centre for European freethought and humanist thinking, whose ideas spread across Europe and the world in the Age of Enlightenment. Later, religious tradition in Germany was weakened by the twin onslaughts of Nazi rule during World War II and that of the Socialist Unity Party in East Germany during the Cold War. In common with most other European societies, a period of secularisation also continued in the decades that followed. While today Christianity remains prevalent in the west of Germany, in the east relatively few Germans identify with any religion whatsoever.

As of 2023, approximately 46% of Germans are irreligious, with a much higher concentration of irreligious citizens in the former East Germany. Eastern Germany, which was under communist rule, is one of the least religious regions in the world.

New states of Germany
The new states of Germany (German: die neuen Länder / die neuen Bundesländer) are the five re-established states of the former German Democratic Republic (GDR)  that unified with the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) with its 10 "old states" upon German reunification on 3 October 1990.

The new states, which were dissolved by the GDR government in 1952 and re-established in 1990, are Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Thuringia. The state of Berlin, the result of a merger between East and West Berlin, is usually not considered one of the new states although a number of its residents are former East Germans and some of its areas were in the former East Berlin. There have been 16 states in Germany since reunification.

Kven language
Kven (kvääni; kainu; Finnish: kveeni; Norwegian: kvensk) is a Finnic language spoken in the northernmost parts of Norway by the Kven people. It is closely related to Meänkieli, spoken in Torne Valley in Sweden, and to the Peräpohjola dialects of Finnish. The status of Kven as a distinct language versus a dialect of Finnish has been debated. In 2005, Kven received the status of a minority language in Norway under the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages.

There are about 1,500 to 10,000 known native speakers, most of whom are over the age of 60. Middle-aged speakers tend to have a passing knowledge of the language. They use it occasionally, but not frequently enough to keep it off the endangered list. People under the age of 30 rarely speak or know the language. However, children in the community of Børselv can learn Kven in their primary schools.
Araldo Telefonico
Araldo Telefonico ("Telephone Herald" in English) was the name used for a group of telephone newspaper systems located in Italy, which provided news and entertainment programming over telephone lines to subscribing homes and businesses. Beginning with the capital city of Rome in 1910, this was the most widely implemented of the various telephone newspaper operations, however, in the early 1920s, the systems were merged with, and eventually superseded by, the development of radio broadcasting.

Telephone newspaper
Telephone newspapers, introduced in the 1890s, transmitted news and entertainment to subscribers over telephone lines. They were the first example of electronic broadcasting, although only a few were established, most commonly in European cities. These systems predated the development, in the 1920s, of radio broadcasting. They were eventually supplanted by radio stations, because radio signals could more easily cover much wider areas with higher quality audio, without incurring the costs of a telephone line infrastructure.
Under Wraps (Shaun Cassidy album)
Under Wraps is the third studio album by American singer Shaun Cassidy, released in 1978. Less successful commercially than its two predecessors Shaun Cassidy and Born Late, Under Wraps was an early indication that Cassidy's popularity was beginning to lose momentum, as the album barely cracked the top 40 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at #33, and scoring no major hit singles.  "Our Night" peaked at #80 on the US Hot 100.

The album features the song "It's Like Heaven", which was co-written by founding Beach Boys member Brian Wilson, along with Rocky Pamplin and Diane Rovell. Wilson also co-wrote the song "Cruisin' to Harlem" on the 1976 album Getting It in the Street by David Cassidy, Shaun Cassidy's half-brother.

Shaun Cassidy (album)
Shaun Cassidy is the debut solo album by American singer Shaun Cassidy. It was first released in 1976 in Europe and Australia, where he had top-ten hits with "Morning Girl" and "That's Rock 'n' Roll". It was not until the release of a cover version of The Crystals' song, "Da Doo Ron Ron", that Cassidy's international success carried over into the United States.  The single became a number-one Billboard Hot 100 hit for Cassidy and launched his career as a pop musician and teen idol in the U.S.

"That's Rock 'n' Roll" was written by Eric Carmen. It was the follow-up single to "Da Doo Ron Ron" in the U.S. and peaked at number three.
