Leigh Mercer
Leigh Mercer (1893–1977) was a British writer of wordplay and recreational mathematics who is best known for devising the palindrome "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama!".

Word Ways called him "a luxuriant source of verbal exotica and linguistic curiosa." Among his palindromes are "Sums are not set as a test on Erasmus."

Wordplay
Wordplay (also: play-on-words) is a literary technique and a form of wit in which words used become the main subject of the work, primarily for the purpose of intended effect or amusement. Examples of wordplay include puns, phonetic mix-ups such as spoonerisms, obscure words and meanings, clever rhetorical excursions, oddly formed sentences, double entendres, and telling character names (such as in the play The Importance of Being Earnest, Ernest being a given name that sounds exactly like the adjective earnest).

Wordplay is quite common in oral cultures as a method of reinforcing meaning. Examples of text-based (orthographic) wordplay are found in languages with or without alphabet-based scripts, such as homophonic puns in Mandarin Chinese.
Mexico in the OTI Festival 1974
Mexico was represented at the OTI Festival 1974 with the song "Quijote", written by Roberto Cantoral, and performed by Enrique Cáceres. The Mexican participating broadcaster, Televisa, selected its entry through a national televised competition with several phases. The song, that was performed in position 13, placed tenth out of 19 competing entries with 3 votes. In addition, Televisa was also the host broadcaster and staged the event at the Teatro Juan Ruiz de Alarcón of the Centro de Convenciones in Acapulco, after winning the previous edition with the song "Qué alegre va María" by Imelda Miller.

Mexico in the OTI Festival 1973
Mexico was represented at the OTI Festival 1973 with the song "Qué alegre va María", written by Celia Bonfil, and performed by Imelda Miller. The Mexican participating broadcaster, Televisa, selected its entry through a national televised competition with several phases. The song, that was performed in position 13, placed first out of 14 competing entries tying with the song from Peru in 10 votes, and winning the festival after applying the tie-breaking rule.

However, the national final had been won by "La canción del hombre", written by Felipe Gil and performed by Gualberto Castro, which became ineligible for the festival since it was later proven that it had been broadcast on the radio before the permitted date. "Qué alegre va María", which had been the runner-up in the national final, was sent instead. This was the first entry from Mexico to actually participate in the OTI Festival, since the previous year's entry was disqualified and no replacement was sent.

Salisbury
Salisbury (/ˈsɔːlzbəri/ SAWLZ-bər-ee, locally /ˈsɔːzbəri/ SAWZ-bər-ee) is a cathedral city and civil parish in Wiltshire, England with a population of 41,820, at the confluence of the rivers Avon, Nadder and Bourne.

French cruiser Aréthuse
Aréthuse was an unprotected cruiser built for the French Navy. The ship was laid down in 1879 and completed in 1885. Intended to serve as a long-range commerce raider, the ship was fitted with a sailing rig to supplement its steam engine on long voyages, and she carried an armament of four 165 mm (6.5 in) and twenty-two 140 mm (5.5 in) guns. She was among the final French unprotected cruisers, thereafter being replaced by more durable protected cruisers.

The ship served with the main fleet in the Mediterranean Sea in 1886 before being assigned to patrol duty with the South Atlantic Squadron, serving as the unit's flagship. Aréthuse had been transferred to the North Atlantic Squadron by 1890, and was extensively modernized in 1891–1892. Another stint with the North Atlantic Squadron followed from 1893 to 1895, and in 1899, she was reduced to a hulk. Aréthuse was briefly used as the headquarters for the coastal defense unit based in Landévennec, but was broken up in 1901.

Protected cruiser
Protected cruisers, a type of cruiser of the late 19th century, took their name from the armored deck, which protected vital machine-spaces from fragments released by explosive shells. Protected cruisers notably lacked a belt of armour along the sides, in contrast to armored cruisers which carried both deck and belt armour.

Outside of a handful of very large designs in the major navies (which preceded the revival of armored cruisers), the majority of protected cruisers were of 'second-' or 'third-class' types, lighter in displacement and mounting fewer and/or lighter guns than armored cruisers.

By the early 20th-century, with the advent of increasingly lighter yet stronger armour, even smaller vessels could afford some level of both belt and deck armour. In the place of protected cruisers, these new 'light armored cruisers' would evolve into light cruisers and heavy cruisers, the former especially taking on many of the roles originally envisioned for protected cruisers.

It was first described by Belgian ichthyologist Hubert Matthes in 1959, from specimens collected from Lake Tanganyika at Kalundu, in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo.  The species name " irsacae" is derived from the abbreviation "I.R.S.A.C.", or  Institut pour la Recherche Scientifique en Afrique Centrale.
