Drakoneras
The Drakoneras or Dhragonares form the northerly grouping of the Echinades islands, which are part of the Ionian Islands group of Greece. They lie 5.5 kilometres (3.4 mi) north of the other islands in the group. The name of the group comes from the island Drakonera (Dhragonára) which is the chief island of the Drakoneras.

The islands are mostly high, with rocks and boulders, and mostly cultivated. The islands can be divided into two groups. The southern group includes Stamodi, Apasa, Soros, and Gravaras. The northern group consists of a number of small islands and rocks, of which the most important are Pontikos, Provati, Karlonisi, Kalogiros, and Drakonera.

Echinades
The Echinades (/ɪˈkɪnədiːz/; Greek: αἱ Ἐχινάδες νῆσοι per Herodotus, Thucydides, and Strabo, per Homer Echinae (αἱ Ἐχῖναι νῆσοι, Italian: Curzolari) are a group of islands in the Ionian Sea, off the coast of Acarnania, Greece. The archipelago is commonly subdivided into three groups: the Drakoneres in the north, the Modia in the middle and the Ouniades in the south. Administratively, the Echinades form part of two regional units: Ithaca and Cephalonia. Six of the islands, including Oxeia, one of the largest, are owned by Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, the emir of Qatar, who purchased them for a reported £7.3 million sterling. The Battle of the Echinades in 1427 and the Battle of Lepanto in 1571 were fought at or near the islands.

George Paul Hess
George Paul Hess (November 18, 1922 – September 15, 2015) was a research biochemist who specialized in studying acetylcholine receptors. Hess developed laser pulse photolysis and a quench flow technique.

Stopped-flow
Stopped-flow is one of a number of methods of studying the kinetics of reactions in solution. It is ideal for studying chemical reactions with a typical dead time on the order of 1 millisecond. In the simplest form of the technique, the solutions of two reactants are rapidly mixed by being forced through a mixing chamber, on emerging from which the mixed fluid passes through an optical observation cell. At some point in time, the flow is suddenly stopped, and the reaction is monitored using a suitable spectroscopic probe, such as absorbance, fluorescence or fluorescence polarization. The change in spectroscopic signal as a function of time is recorded, and the rate constants that define the reaction kinetics can then be obtained by fitting the data using a suitable model.

Stopped-flow as an experimental technique was introduced by Britton Chance and extended by Quentin Gibson. Other techniques, such as the temperature-jump method, are available for much faster processes.
Italian frigate Alpino (F 580)
Alpino was a Alpino-class frigate operated by the Italian Navy during the Cold War. launched in 1967, the vessel was optimised for anti-submarine warfare based on two Agusta-Bell AB.204 helicopters protected by a telescopic hangar and a variable-depth sonar (VDS). It was also the first frigate to use gas turbines, in a combined diesel and gas (CODAG) arrangement. In 1973, the frigate undertook the longest continuous voyage of an Italian naval ship, covering over 7,000 nautical miles (13,000 kilometres; 8,100 miles), and continued to serve in the anti-submarine role until 1996, by which time the helicopters had been replaced by the more capable Agusta-Bell AB-212ASW and the VDS taken out of service. In 1997, the ship was recommissioned as a support ship for mine warfare, at the same time as the ability to operate one of the helicopters was removed. The frigate was decommissioned in 2006.

Bell 204/205
The Bell 204 and 205 are the civilian versions of the UH-1 Iroquois single-engine military helicopter of the Huey family of helicopters.

Bāriqī-Robin-Nāʿiṭ 1
Bāriqī-Robin-Nāʿiṭ 1 or The elephants inscription is a fragmentary pre-Islamic Arabian inscription discovered at Nāʿiṭ, about 50 km north of Ṣanʿāʾ, in Yemen. The text, carved in relief in Sabaic, dates to the reign of King Abraha (r. c. 532/535–570 CE) of the Himyarite Kingdom. It was first published in 2025 by Zāhir ʿĀṭif al-Bāriqī and Christian J. Robin.
The fragment consists of nine incomplete lines, broken on both the right and left sides. Although its exact purpose is uncertain, it is of exceptional interest because it mentions Abraha by name and contain the first epigraphic reference to elephants (ʾlfl) in South Arabia. It has attracted scholarly attention because of a reference to elephants, which has been discussed in connection with an event known in Islamic tradition as the Year of the Elephant, an Aksumite attack on the city of Mecca that used war elephants.

Abraha
Abraha (Ge’ez: አብርሀ) (also spelled Abreha, died presumably 570 CE) was an Aksumite viceroy of Himyar (modern-day Yemen) and a large part of Arabia for over 30 years in the 6th century. Originally a general in the Aksumite army that invaded Yemen around 525 CE, Abraha seized power by deposing the Christian Himyarite king installed by Kaleb.

He is famous for the tradition of his failed siege of Mecca, an event that is referred to as the Year of the Elephant in Islamic tradition, using an army that included war elephants. This event is interpreted by some to be the historical context behind Surah Al-Fil, the 105th surah of the Quran. A newly discovered Himyarite inscription may mention elephants, offering potential support for this battle having taken place.

Paul Wexler (linguist)
Paul Wexler (born November 6, 1938, Hebrew: פאול וקסלר, pronounced [ˈpaul ˈveksler]) is an American-born Israeli linguist, and Professor Emeritus of linguistics at Tel Aviv University. His research fields include historical linguistics, bilingualism, Slavic linguistics, creole linguistics, Romani and Jewish languages.

Wexler is known in Yiddish linguistics mainly for his hypothesis that Eastern Yiddish is ultimately derived from Judaeo-Slavic, a hypothesis that has been widely rejected by other Yiddish and Germanic linguists   and geneticists.

Wexler has argued that the Yiddish language structure provides evidence that Jews had "intimate contact" with early Slavs in the German and Bohemian lands as early as the 9th century.

Historical linguistics
Historical linguistics, also known as diachronic linguistics, is the scientific study of how languages change over time. It seeks to understand the nature and causes of linguistic change and to trace the evolution of languages. Historical linguistics involves several key areas of study, including the reconstruction of ancestral languages, the classification of languages into families, (comparative linguistics) and the analysis of the cultural and social influences on language development.

This field is grounded in the uniformitarian principle, which posits that the processes of language change observed today were also at work in the past, unless there is clear evidence to suggest otherwise. Historical linguists aim to describe and explain changes in individual languages, explore the history of speech communities, and study the origins and meanings of words (etymology).

Randolph Field Historic District
Randolph Field Historic District is a National Historic Landmark District encompassing the central portion of Randolph Air Force Base, near San Antonio, Texas, US.  Randolph Field was innovatively designed using Garden city movement principles, and includes a unique and well-preserved assemblage of Mission Revival and Art Deco architecture.  Built between 1929 and 1931, it was the first permanent flight training facility of the United States military establishment, then the United States Army Air Corps and later the United States Air Force.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996, and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 2001.

Garden city movement
The garden city movement was a 20th-century urban planning movement promoting satellite communities surrounding the central city and separated with greenbelts. These Garden Cities would contain proportionate areas of residences, industry, and agriculture. Ebenezer Howard first posited the idea in 1898 as a way to capture the primary benefits of the countryside and the city while avoiding the disadvantages presented by both. In the early 20th century, Letchworth and Welwyn Garden City were built near London according to Howard's concept and many other garden cities inspired by his model have since been built all over the world.
