1930 Macdonald Brier
The 1930 Macdonald Brier, the Canadian men's national curling championship, was held from February 25 to 28, 1930 at the Granite Club in Toronto, Ontario.

Alberta and Manitoba both finished round robin play with 7-2 records necessitating a tiebreaker playoff to determine the Brier champion. In the playoff, Team Manitoba, who was skipped by Howard "Pappy" Wood, Sr. would defeat Alberta 12–9 to capture Manitoba's third straight Brier Tankard. Howard's brothers, Vic and Lionel became the first siblings to win the Brier.

The Brier
The Brier (French: Le Brier), known since 2024 as the Montana's Brier for sponsorship reasons, is the annual Canadian men's curling championship, sanctioned by Curling Canada. The Brier has been held since 1927, traditionally during the month of March.

The winner of the Brier goes on to represent Canada at the World Curling Championships of the same year. The Brier is the best supported curling competition in terms of paid attendance, attracting crowds far larger than even those for World Championships held in Canada.

Its current main sponsor is Montana's, a Canadian restaurant chain. "Brier" originally referred to a brand of tobacco sold by the event's first sponsor, the Macdonald Tobacco Company.
T.H.E. Fox
T.H.E. Fox is a furry webcomic by Joe Ekaitis which ran from 1986 to 1998. It is among the earliest online comics, predating Where the Buffalo Roam by over five years. T.H.E. Fox was published on CompuServe, Q-Link and GEnie, and later on the Web as Thaddeus. Despite running weekly for several years, the comic never achieved Ekaitis' goal of print syndication. Updates became less frequent, and eventually stopped altogether.

Where the Buffalo Roam (webcomic)
Where the Buffalo Roam was a comic strip by Hans Bjordahl that ran from 1987 to 1995. It was published on Usenet starting in 1991, making it one of the first online comic strips. Witches and Stitches was published earlier, in 1985, on CompuServe.

Originally created as a college newspaper strip, it featured subjects associated with college life at the time, with topics like "parking nazis", "shroom patrol" and "alliance for the vertically challenged", as well as computer-related situations.

The main characters were undergrads Zack, Scooby, Hilary and Sharon, and a cat named "Dio".

1968 Major League Baseball expansion draft
The 1968 Major League Baseball expansion draft was conducted to stock up the rosters of four expansion teams in Major League Baseball—two teams each in the American League and National League—created via the 1969 Major League Baseball expansion and that would begin play in the 1969 season.

The expansion draft for the Montreal Expos and the San Diego Padres was held on October 14, 1968. These two new franchises selected players from other National League teams. The expansion draft for the Kansas City Royals and the Seattle Pilots was held on October 15, 1968. These two new franchises selected players from other American League teams.

Seattle Pilots
The Seattle Pilots were an American professional baseball team based in Seattle. Based at Sick's Stadium, the team played for just one season: 1969, finishing last in the West Division of Major League Baseball's American League with a 64–98 record. On April 1, 1970, the franchise moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and became the Milwaukee Brewers. After the move, Seattle and King County sued the American League, which consequently granted the city a new expansion franchise, the Seattle Mariners.
Lorentz group
In physics and mathematics, the Lorentz group is the group of all Lorentz transformations of Minkowski spacetime, the classical and quantum setting for all (non-gravitational) physical phenomena. The Lorentz group is named for the Dutch physicist Hendrik Lorentz.

For example, the following laws, equations, and theories respect Lorentz symmetry:

The kinematical laws of special relativity

The local (differential) structure of general relativity

Maxwell's field equations in the theory of electromagnetism

The Dirac equation in the theory of the electron

The Standard Model of particle physics

The Lorentz group expresses the fundamental symmetry of space and time of all known fundamental laws of nature. In small enough regions of spacetime where gravitational variation is negligible, physical laws are Lorentz-invariant.

Hendrik Lorentz
Hendrik Antoon Lorentz (18 July 1853 – 4 February 1928) was a Dutch theoretical physicist who shared the 1902 Nobel Prize in Physics with Pieter Zeeman for their discovery and theoretical explanation of the Zeeman effect. He derived the Lorentz transformation of the special theory of relativity, as well as the Lorentz force, which describes the force acting on a charged particle in an electromagnetic field. He was also responsible for the Lorentz oscillator model, a classical model used to describe the anomalous dispersion observed in dielectric materials when the driving frequency of the electric field was near the resonant frequency of the material, resulting in abnormal refractive indices.

Lorentz received many other honors and distinctions, including a term as Chairman of the International Committee on Intellectual Cooperation, the forerunner of UNESCO, from 1925 until his death in 1928.

At 259 there is the living room and at 261, on the first floor, you can find the kitchen and the bathrooms in the restaurant.

La Mallorquina
La Mallorquina is a restaurant in Old San Juan, San Juan, Puerto Rico that specializes in the making of Puerto Rican and Spanish-particularly Palma de Mallorca-cuisine such as asopao, gazpacho, arroz con pollo, paella and flan.

It opened in 1848 and has been run by the Rojos family since 1900 and Yvonne Ortiz claims that La Mallorquina is the first eating establishment in Puerto Rico.
The restaurant's original owners, Antonio Vidal Llinás and others, came from Palma de Mallorca, Spain; that's why they named their restaurant La Mallorquina, which loosely translated into English means The Woman from Mallorca.

Puerto Rico's first elected governor, Luis Muñoz Marín, was also one of the famous people to visit the restaurant.
Grace (style)
His Grace and Her Grace are English styles of address used with high-ranking personages, and was the style for English monarchs until Henry VIII (r. 1509–1547), and for Scottish monarchs until the Act of Union of 1707, which united the Kingdom of Scotland and the Kingdom of England.

In Great Britain and Ireland, it is also the style of address for archbishops, dukes, and duchesses; e.g. His Grace the Duke of Norfolk and His Grace the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury. The correct style is “Your Grace” in spoken and written form; as a stylistic descriptor for British dukes, it is an abbreviation of the full, formal style: “The Most High, Noble and Potent Prince His Grace”.

However, a royal duke, such as Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, is addressed as Your Royal Highness.

Royal Highness
Royal Highness is a style, or form of address, used to address or refer to some members of royal families, usually princes or princesses. Kings and their female consorts, as well as queens regnant, are usually styled Majesty.

When used as a direct form of address, spoken or written, it takes the form Your Royal Highness. When used as a third-person reference, it is gender-specific (His Royal Highness or Her Royal Highness, both abbreviated HRH) and in plural, Their Royal Highnesses (TRH).

It is used also for hereditary members of former reigning royal houses.
History of the Jews in Syria
The history of the Jews in Syria goes back to ancient times. They were joined by Sephardim who fled after the expulsion of the Jews from Spain and Portugal in 1492 CE. There were large Jewish communities in Aleppo, Damascus, and Qamishli for centuries. In the early 20th century, a large percentage of Syrian Jews immigrated to British Mandate-Palestine (Israel), the U.S. and Latin America.

Following the Syrian Civil War, some of the remaining Jews of Syria left the country. In 2022, it was alleged that only four Jews remain in Damascus. As of April 4 2025, there are approximately six remaining Jews in Damascus.

Naval warfare during the War of 1812
Naval warfare during the War of 1812 in North America proved decisive not because the United States rivalled the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland global sea power, but because control of specific maritime and inland waters shaped military campaigns, territorial security and diplomacy. Great Britain retained overwhelming naval supremacy on the world's oceans; however, American success in selected local theatres, most notably on the Great Lakes, directly influenced the outcome of the War of 1812 on land and constrained British negotiating leverage at the peace table. Historians increasingly emphasize that the war's naval dimension must be understood regionally rather than globally.

USS United States vs HMS Macedonian
The capture of HMS Macedonian  was a naval action fought near Madeira on 25 October 1812 between the heavy frigate USS United States, commanded by Stephen Decatur, and the frigate HMS Macedonian, under the command of John Surman Carden. The American vessel won the long bloody battle, capturing and bringing Macedonian back to the United States. It was the first British warship to ever be brought into an American harbor.

Didelphis
Didelphis is a genus of New World marsupials. The six species in the genus Didelphis, commonly known as Large American opossums, are members of the opossum order, Didelphimorphia.

The genus Didelphis is composed of cat-sized omnivorous species, which can be recognized by their prehensile tails and their tendency to feign death when cornered. The largest species, the Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana), is the only marsupial to be found north of Mexico.

The Virginia opossum has opposable toes on their two back feet.

One of the synapomorphies of this genus is the hypertrophied spinous processes of the cervical vertebrae, which also interlock. As a result, this prevents any movement of the neck. The purpose of this is not yet fully understood.

Virginia opossum
The Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana), also known as the North American opossum, is a member of the opossum family found from southern Canada to northern Costa Rica, making it the northernmost marsupial in the world. Commonly referred to simply as the possum, (distinct from the Australasian possum) it is a solitary nocturnal animal about the size of a domestic cat, and a successful opportunist.

Opossums are familiar to many North Americans as they frequently inhabit settled areas near food sources like trash cans, pet food, compost piles, gardens or housemice. Their slow, nocturnal nature and their attraction to roadside carrion make opossums more likely to become roadkill than other animals in their range.
