Viridothelium inspersum
Viridothelium inspersum is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) crustose lichen in the family Trypetheliaceae. This tropical lichen forms smooth, olive-green crusty patches on tree bark in rainforests and is characterised for having its fruiting bodies buried deep within the bark rather than sitting on the surface. It can be distinguished from related species by the oil droplets that fill the internal structure of its fruiting bodies. It was described as new to science in 2016 by André Aptroot from material collected in Papua New Guinea.

Trypetheliaceae
The Trypetheliaceae are a family of mainly lichen-forming fungi in the order Trypetheliales. The family consists almost exclusively of corticolous (bark-dwelling), crustose lichens with an almost strictly tropical distribution.

Yavne-Yam ostracon
The Yavne-Yam ostracon (Hebrew: האוסטרקון מיבנה-ים), also known as the Mesad Hashavyahu ostracon (Hebrew: המכתב ממצד חשביהו), is an ostracon discovered in 1960 by Joseph Naveh at Mesad Hashavyahu, near Yavne-Yam, Israel. The artifact contains a written appeal by a field worker to the fortress's governor regarding the confiscation of his cloak, which the writer considers unjust. The inscription is cataloged as KAI 200.

The ostracon was found under the floor of a room adjacent to the guardhouse/gate complex, is approximately 20 cm high by 16.5 cm wide, and contains 14 visible lines of text. In all, seven key artifacts were recovered, six of them inscribed ostraca in the Hebrew language. Pottery shards in the layer above represented Greek (early Ionian/Southwest Anatolian) or Persian-period pottery. The ostraca from this site are currently located in the Israel Museum at Jerusalem.

Ostracon
An ostracon (Greek: ὄστρακον ostrakon, plural ὄστρακα ostraka) is a piece of pottery, usually broken off from a vase or other earthenware vessel. In an archaeological or epigraphical context, ostraca refer to sherds or even small pieces of stone that have writing scratched into them. Usually these are considered to have been broken off before the writing was added; ancient people used the cheap, plentiful, and durable broken pieces of pottery around them as a convenient medium to write on for a wide variety of purposes, mostly very short inscriptions, but in some cases very long.

L'Arlésienne (Bizet)
L'Arlésienne (The woman from Arles) is incidental music composed by Georges Bizet for Alphonse Daudet's drama of the same name. It was first performed on 30 September 1872 at the Théâtre du Vaudeville in Paris. Bizet's original incidental music consists of 27 numbers for chorus and small orchestra, ranging from pieces of background music (mélodrames) only a few measures long, to entr'actes. The score achieves powerful dramatic ends with the most economic of means. Still, the work received poor reviews in the wake of the unsuccessful premiere and is not often performed now in its original form, although recordings are available. However, key pieces of the incidental music, most often heard in the form of two suites for full orchestra, have become some of Bizet's most popular compositions.
