Jul-gonu
Jul-gonu (Korean: 줄 고누) is a two-player abstract strategy board game from Korea.  It is one of many gonu games. The game has a relatively small board (4×4 square board), and yet offers a challenge at different levels. The game could be played on a larger board, however, it tends to be tiresome. Jul means "lines", and the lines of the board are often drawn on the ground. The game is also referred to as ne-jul-gonu (네 줄 고누; lit. four-line gonu), referring to the four lines in each direction.

The game bears resemblance to hasami shogi, dai hasami shogi, mak-yek, apit-sodok, rek, ming mang, gundru, seega, ludus latrunculorum, petteia, and Firdawsi's nard. It also bears resemblance to the tafl games, and to a lesser extent to agon, awithlaknakwe, bizingo, watermelon chess, reversi, Othello, wei-chi, baduk, and Go as all of these games exhibit custodian capture or some form of it (as in the case of wei-chi, baduk, and Go).

Bizingo
Bizingo is a two-player strategy board game created sometime in the 1850s in the United States. Two opposing armies on a triangular grid face off against one another. The game seems unrelated to any other, except perhaps to the traditional Zuni game Awithlaknakwe.

Recorded Texas Historic Landmark
Recorded Texas Historic Landmark (RTHL) is a designation awarded by the Texas Historical Commission for historically and architecturally significant properties in the U.S. state of Texas. RTHL is a legal designation and the highest honor the state can bestow on a historic structure. Purchase and display of a historical marker is a required component of the RTHL designation process. Because it is a legal designation, owners of RTHL-designated structures must give 60 days' notice before any alterations are made to the exterior of the structure. Changes that are unsympathetic may result in removal of the designation and historical marker. More than 3,600 RTHL structures are spread throughout the state.

Eddie (crater)
Eddie is a crater in the Elysium quadrangle of Mars.  It is 89 km in diameter and was named after Lindsay Eddie, a South African astronomer (1845–1913).

Impact craters generally have a rim with ejecta around them, in contrast volcanic craters usually do not have a rim or ejecta deposits.  As craters get larger (greater than 10 km in diameter) they usually have a central peak, as this crater has. The peak is caused by a rebound of the crater floor following the impact.  It contains material uplifted from beneath the surface.

The InSight Mars lander landed south and west of Eddie crater in 2018.

Degrees of Eastern Orthodox monasticism
The degrees of Eastern Orthodox monasticism are the stages an Eastern Orthodox monk or nun passes through in their religious vocation.

In the Eastern Orthodox Church, the process of becoming a monk or nun is intentionally slow, as the monastic vows taken are considered to entail a lifelong commitment to God, and are not to be entered into lightly. After a person completes the novitiate, three degrees or steps must be completed in the process of preparation before one may gain the monastic habit.

Some Byzantine Rite Catholic Churches use these same monastic degrees and titles and some of these form the Order of Saint Basil the Great in Eastern Europe and abroad.

A person who practices sodomy is sometimes referred to as a sodomite, a pejorative term.
