Sodium bromide
Sodium bromide is an inorganic compound with the formula NaBr. It is a high-melting white, crystalline solid that resembles sodium chloride. It is a widely used source of the bromide ion and has many applications.

In repeated doses it is toxic to humans, leading to bromism, which may include symptoms such as skin rashes, drowsiness, nausea, and hallucinations.

Bromism
Bromism is the syndrome which results from the long-term consumption of bromine, usually through bromine-based sedatives such as potassium bromide and lithium bromide. Bromide was used in medicinal drugs for indications as broad as insomnia, hysteria, anxiety, and even excessive libido, making it one of the most frequently used class of medicinal drugs prior to its reduction in the early 20th century.

Bromism was once a very common disorder, being responsible for 5 to 10% of psychiatric hospital admissions, but is now uncommon since bromide was withdrawn from clinical use in many countries and was severely restricted in others.
Ecton railway station
Ecton railway station was a station on the Leek and Manifold Light Railway. It served the hamlet of Ecton and village of Warslow in Staffordshire, England. It opened to the public on 29 June 1904 and was in operation for almost thirty years prior to its closure on 12 March 1934. Ecton Creamery opened in 1920 and the line was used for transporting Stilton cheese. An Ordnance Survey map published in 1922 shows a branch line running to the cheese factory. Milk was transported by road from 1932, leading to a decline in revenue for the railway. In 1937, owner London, Midland & Scottish Railway gifted the track bed to Staffordshire County Council for a public right of way, pioneering such transfers in Britain. Today, the site is part of the Manifold Way that runs between Hulme End and Waterhouses.

Leek and Manifold Valley Light Railway
The Leek and Manifold Valley Light Railway (L&MVLR) was a narrow gauge railway in Staffordshire, England that operated between 1904 and 1934.  The line mainly carried milk from dairies in the region, acting as a feeder to the 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) standard gauge system.  It also provided passenger services to the small villages and beauty spots along its route.  The line was built to a 2 ft 6 in (762 mm) narrow gauge and to the light rail standards provided by the Light Railways Act 1896 to reduce construction costs.

The route of the line is now a foot- and cycle- path.

Soyuz-M
The Soyuz-M (Russian: Союз, meaning "Union"), GRAU index 11A511M was a Soviet expendable carrier rocket designed by OKB-1 and manufactured by State Aviation Plant No. 1 in Samara, Russia. It was originally built to launch crewed Soyuz 7K-VI spacecraft for the Soviet armed forces. Following the cancellation of this programme, development of the rocket continued for the Soyuz 7K-S spacecraft. After this too was cancelled, Soyuz-M development was also abandoned, and the rockets that had been completed were used to launch reconnaissance satellites.

While the exact details of the Soyuz-M are not known, it is believed to be a two-stage rocket, derived from the Soyuz. It may have been similar to the later Soyuz-U. Following the cancellation of the Soyuz 7K-S, eight were launched with Zenit-4MT spacecraft. The first of these launches occurred on 27 December 1971, and the last on 31 March 1976. All launches occurred from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome, six from pad 41/1 and two from pad 43/4.

Military Soyuz
The Soviet Union planned several military Soyuz spacecraft models. These versions were named Soyuz P, Soyuz PPK, Soyuz R, Soyuz 7K-VI, and Soyuz OIS (Orbital Research Station). However, none of the spacecraft ever flew in space.
Branson, Colorado
Branson is a statutory town located in Las Animas County, Colorado, United States. The town population was 57 at the 2020 United States census. Branson is the southernmost town in the State of Colorado, located just 1 mile (1.6 km) from the New Mexico border.

Branson is located approximately 35 miles east of Trinidad, Colorado, on State Highway 389, in the Great Plains, as well in the Raton Mesa region. A few hundred feet south of Branson, Chicora Mesa rises 800 ft (240 m) above the village. It is a ranching community today. Farming in the area was severely impacted by the Dust Bowl of the 1930s and the population of Branson and its region has since been declining.

Branson was recognized in the 21st century for its successful online school which drew students from all over Colorado. Education joined ranching as the principal economic activities of the region.

Dust Bowl
The Dust Bowl was a period of severe dust storms that greatly damaged the ecology and agriculture of the American and Canadian prairies during the 1930s. The phenomenon was caused by a combination of natural factors (severe drought) and human-made factors: a failure to apply dryland farming methods to prevent wind erosion, most notably the destruction of the natural topsoil by settlers in the region. The drought came in three waves: 1934, 1936, and 1939–1940, but some regions of the High Plains experienced drought conditions for as long as eight years. It exacerbated an already existing agricultural recession.

The Dust Bowl has been the subject of many cultural works, including John Steinbeck's 1939 novel The Grapes of Wrath; the Dust Bowl Ballads of Woody Guthrie; and Dorothea Lange's photographs depicting the conditions of migrants, particularly Migrant Mother, taken in 1936.

Artificial intelligence in video games
Artificial intelligence (AI) in video games refers to the computational systems that control non-player characters (NPCs), generate dynamic game behavior, or simulate strategic decision-making. In practice, the term covers a broad range of techniques drawn from computer science, control theory, and robotics rather than “true” artificial intelligence. Moreover, academic AI—aimed at developing autonomous reasoning or learning—is distinct from game AI, whose goal is to deliver engaging, believable, and efficient behavior for players.

In general, game AI does not, as might be thought and sometimes is depicted to be the case, mean a realization of an artificial person corresponding to an NPC in the manner of the Turing test or an artificial general intelligence.
Mykola Avilov
Mykola Viktorovych Avilov (Ukrainian: Микола Вікторович Авілов, Russian: Николай Викторович Авилов, born 6 August 1948) is a retired Ukrainian Soviet decathlete who competed at the 1968, 1972 and 1976 Olympics. He won a gold medal in 1972, setting a new world record, a bronze in 1976, and finished fourth in 1968.   He is the only Olympic champion in decathlon from the Soviet Union.

Unusually tall for his time Avilov first played basketball, then changed to high jump in 1962, and only in 1966 turned to decathlon. He won that event at the 1970 Universiade and finished second in 1973. In 1971 he married Valentyna Kozyr, an Olympic high jumper. Avilov retired in 1980 after finishing fifth at the Soviet Championships. He then coached athletics in Ukraine, Iraq, China, Egypt and the Seychelles.

In the 2015 Odesa regional election Avilov was elected into the Odesa Oblast parliament as the first of the Petro Poroshenko Bloc's election ballot.

Verrucaria funckii
Verrucaria funckii is a species of crustose lichen in the family Verrucariaceae. It grows on rocks in aquatic environments. First described as a new species in 1826 and named after the German botanist Heinrich Christian Funck, it features a light grey-green to grey-brown, somewhat gelatinous thallus. Its reproductive structures are typically embedded within the body rather than projecting from it. The species is widespread throughout Europe, particularly in northern and western regions, as well as parts of Asia and North America, where it inhabits permanently or largely submerged siliceous rocks in streams, rivers, and lake shores. Unlike most lichens, it contains yellow-green algae rather than green algae as its photosynthetic partner (photobiont).

Heinrich Christian Funck
Heinrich Christian Funck (22 November 1771 – 14 April 1839) was a German pharmacist and bryologist. He was a co-founder of the Regensburg Botanical Society.

Funck was born in Wunsiedel, Bavaria. He received early training at a pharmacy in Regensburg, subsequently studying in Salzburg, Erlangen and Jena. In 1803 he acquired the family-owned pharmacy in Gefrees, from where he performed research of cryptogams, especially bryophytes. He conducted botanical investigations in the nearby Fichtel Mountains, and also organized excursions to the Salzburg Alps, Italy, Switzerland, et al. Funck edited several series of exsiccatae and distributed the sets of specimens in bounded volumes. In 1800 he started the first of them with the title Cryptogamische Gewächse des Fichtelgebirg's.

In 1834 he sold the pharmacy in Gefrees in order to devote more time and energy to botany. Funck died of a stroke in Gefrees on 14 April 1839.
Prarthana (1978 film)
Prarthana is a 1978 Indian Malayalam-language film, directed by A. B. Raj and produced by T. K. Balachandran. The film stars Prem Nazir, Jayabharathi, Kaviyoor Ponnamma and Sankaradi. The film's score was composed by V. Dakshinamoorthy.

He was a veteran Malayalam comedian and character artist, who had over 700 Malayalam films to his credit. He dominated the Malayalam film scene in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s as a comedian along with Adoor Bhasi and Bahadoor. Later, he switched to character roles.
Thermogenic plant
Thermogenic plants have the ability to raise their temperature above that of the surrounding air. Heat is generated in the mitochondria, as a secondary process of cellular respiration called thermogenesis. Alternative oxidase and uncoupling proteins similar to those found in mammals enable the process, which is still poorly understood.

Alternative oxidase
The alternative oxidase (AOX) is an enzyme that forms part of the electron transport chain in mitochondria of certain organisms. Proteins homologous to the mitochondrial oxidase and the related plastid terminal oxidase have also been identified in bacterial genomes.

The oxidase provides an alternative route for electrons passing through the electron transport chain to reduce oxygen. However, as several proton-pumping steps are bypassed in this alternative pathway, activation of the oxidase reduces ATP generation. This enzyme was first identified as a distinct oxidase pathway from cytochrome c oxidase as the alternative oxidase is resistant to inhibition by the poison cyanide.
Ève (Massenet)
Ève is an oratorio composed by Jules Massenet, with a French libretto by Louis Gallet. It was first performed at the Cirque d'été in Paris on 18 March 1875, two years after Massenet composed his more widely disseminated oratorio Marie-Magdeleine. Ève (1875) shares a new interpretation of the biblical story of Adam and Eve. Set for orchestra, chorus, and three soloists, the oratorio contains typical textures of the Late-Romantic and Impressionist eras.

Marie-Magdeleine
Marie-Magdeleine is an oratorio (Drame Sacré) in three acts and four parts by Jules Massenet to a French libretto by Louis Gallet. It was first performed at the Théâtre de l'Odéon in Paris on 11 April 1873, starring the famous contralto Pauline Viardot. The first staged performance took place in Nice on February 9, 1903. It was Massenet's first success and won him the praise of Tchaikovsky, Gounod, and Bizet.

The story concerns the last days of Jesus from the perspective of Mary Magdalene. The subject initially caused some controversy, as some believed that physical love was implied between Jesus and Mary Magdalene. From today's perspective, those implications are difficult to detect. While it contains some beautiful music and has been revived for certain singers, notably Régine Crespin, the work has not endured and is rarely performed.
