William Spankie
William Spankie (17 October 1859 – 27 May 1934) was a Conservative member of the House of Commons of Canada. He was born in Kingston, Canada West and became a physician.

He attended private and public schools in Kingston, Ontario then proceeded to Queen's University where he received Bachelor of Arts, MD and CM degrees. Spankie served as president of the Medical Councils of Ontario and of Canada.

From 1886 to 1912, he was a public school inspector at Frontenac County. In 1913, he became a warden of the county, and from that year until 1929 he was reeve of Wolfe Island.

He ran unsuccessfully in the 1919 provincial election and was first elected to Parliament at the Frontenac—Addington riding in a by-election on 22 July 1929 then re-elected there in the 1930 federal election. Spankie died on 27 May 1934 before completing his term in the 17th Canadian Parliament.

Frontenac—Addington (federal electoral district)
Frontenac—Addington was a federal electoral district represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1925 to 1953. It was located in the province of Ontario. This riding was created in 1924 from parts of Frontenac and Lennox and Addington ridings.

It initially consisted of the county of Frontenac (excluding the city of Kingston and the village of Portsmouth), and part of the county of Lennox and Addington lying east and north of and including the townships of Camden and Ernestown.

In 1933, the Lennox and Addington portion of the riding was redefined to consist of the county of Lennox and Addington excluding the townships of Ernestown, Fredericksburgh North and Fredericksburgh South, Richmond, Adolphustown and Amherst Island.

The electoral district was abolished in 1952 when it was redistributed between Hastings—Frontenac and Kingston ridings.
Microkayla boettgeri
Microkayla boettgeri is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is endemic to Peru and only known from its type locality in the Limbani District, on the Cordillera Oriental of southeastern Peru.

Microkayla boettgeri inhabit cloud forest with small bushes and trees and small streams. They are found under rocks during the day.

Deforestation is known to occur in the area of the type locality, representing a threat to this species.

Strabomantidae
The Strabomantidae, sometimes called cloud forest landfrogs, are a family of frogs native to South America. These frogs lack a free-living larval stage and hatch directly into miniature "froglets". This family includes Pristimantis, the most speciose genus of any vertebrate. Based on molecular dating, the Holoadeninae in particular appears to have originated in the Eocene. The Oligocene-Miocene transition was also found to be important to their biogeographical history. However, the lack of Holoadeninae fossils and limited nucleotide data ambiguates the results, by the authors' admission.
Sanctuary (Japanese TV series)
Sanctuary (Japanese: サンクチュアリ-聖域-, Hepburn: Sankuchuari: Seiiki) is a Japanese sports drama television series created by Kan Eguchi that premiered on Netflix on 4 May 2023. The series consists of eight episodes, all first released in May 2023.

The show stars Wataru Ichinose in the role of Kiyoshi Oze, an outspoken and violent young man who joins the world of professional sumo under the shikona, or ring name, Enno for the sake of money. The name of the series was chosen to represent the dohyō, a place where wrestlers bet on their future and which is forbidden to outsiders.

Dohyō
A dohyō (土俵, Japanese pronunciation: [doçoː]) is the space in which a sumo wrestling bout occurs. A typical dohyō is a circle 4.55 m (15 ft) in diameter, bounded by partially buried rice-straw bales. In official professional tournaments (honbasho), it is mounted on a square platform of clay 66 cm (26 in) high and 6.7 m (22 ft) wide on each side.

Culture of Spain
The culture of Spain is influenced by its Western origin, its interaction with other cultures in Europe, its historically Catholic religious tradition, and the varied national and regional identities within the country. It encompasses literature, music, visual arts, cuisine as well as contemporary customs, beliefs, institutions, and social norms. Beyond Spain, Spanish culture is a major component of most Latin American cultures and an important influence on Filipino culture.

Hispania
Hispania was the Roman name for the Iberian Peninsula. Under the Roman Republic, it was divided into two provinces: Hispania Citerior and Hispania Ulterior. During the Roman Empire, under the Principate, Hispania Ulterior was subdivided into Baetica and Lusitania, while Hispania Citerior was reorganized as Hispania Tarraconensis.

Beginning with Diocletian’s Tetrarchy (AD 293), the territory of Tarraconensis was further divided to create the provinces of Carthaginensis and Gallaecia (also called Callaecia, the origin of the name of modern Galicia). All the Hispanic provinces on the mainland, together with the Balearic Islands and the North African province of Mauretania Tingitana, were later organized into the Diocesis Hispaniarum, governed by a vicarius.

The name Hispania was also used in the period of Visigothic rule. The modern place names of Spain and Hispaniola are both derived from Hispania.
World Wide Blitz Tour
The World Wide Blitz Tour was a 1981 concert tour by English heavy metal band Judas Priest where the band toured in Europe and North America from 13 February to 14 December 1981 in support of the album Point of Entry.

Victim of Changes
"Victim of Changes" is a song by English heavy metal band Judas Priest, featured on their 1976 studio album Sad Wings of Destiny. Adrien Begrand, writing for PopMatters, noted that the song changed the course of metal history. Vocalist Rob Halford's performance is considered one of his best while the guitar work is also highlighted. Bob Gendron praised the song's "landslide riffs" in the Chicago Tribune. The song is regarded as one of the band's classics, and Martin Popoff listed it at No. 17 in his "Top 500 Heavy Metal Songs of All Time".

The song is a combination of two songs by two Judas Priest singers: "Whiskey Woman", by Priest founder Al Atkins and guitarist K. K. Downing, and "Red Light Lady" by later singer Rob Halford. Live versions of the song appear on several of the band's live albums, such as Unleashed in the East (1979), '98 Live Meltdown (1998) and Live in London (2003).
Semi-Arianism
Semi-Arianism was a position regarding the relationship between God the Father and the Son of God, adopted by some 4th-century Christians. Though the doctrine modified the teachings of Arianism, it still rejected the doctrine that Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are co-eternal, and of the same substance, or consubstantial, and was therefore considered to be heretical by many contemporary Christians.

Arius held that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were three separate essences or substances (ousia) and that the Son and Spirit derived their divinity from the Father, were created, and were inferior to the Godhead of the Father. Semi-Arians asserted that the Son was "of a similar substance" (homoiousios) as the Father but not "of the same substance" (homoousios).

Germinius of Sirmium
Germinius, born in Cyzicus, was bishop of Sirmium, (today the town Sremska Mitrovica, in the territory of Srem in Serbia) and a supporter of Homoian theology, which is often labelled as a form of Arianism.

Royal Bay
Royal Bay is a bay, 6 km (3.7 mi) wide and indenting 8 km (5.0 mi), entered between Cape Charlotte and Cape Harcourt along the north coast of South Georgia.

Like other parts of the archipelago, many birds breed here, including king penguins, gentoo penguins, and blue-eyed cormorants.

King penguin
The king penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus) is the second largest species of penguin, smaller than but somewhat similar in appearance to the emperor penguin.

King penguins mainly eat lanternfish, squid, and krill. On foraging trips, king penguins repeatedly dive to over 100 metres (300 ft), and have been recorded at depths greater than 300 metres (1,000 ft). Predators of the king penguin include giant petrels, skuas, the snowy sheathbill, the leopard seal, and the orca.

The king penguin breeds on the subantarctic islands at the northern reaches of Antarctica, South Georgia, southern Argentina, and other temperate islands of the region. It also lives on Macquarie Island in the Southern Ocean and the Falkland Islands.

This bird was exploited commercially in the past for its blubber, oil, meat, and feathers. Today it is fully protected.
Silent Witness (1994 film)
Silent Witness is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Harriet Wichin and released in 1994. The film documents the efforts of Holocaust survivors to preserve the sites of death camps such as Auschwitz and Dachau as museums.

One of the most unusual features of the film, relative to most Holocaust-related documentaries, is that it features no imagery taken directly from the Holocaust itself, instead depicting the camps entirely in their modern form and allowing the testimonies of Wichin's interview subjects to convey the horrors of the original events.

The film premiered at the 1994 Toronto International Film Festival.

The film received a Genie Award nomination for Best Feature Length Documentary at the 16th Genie Awards in 1995.

Genie Awards
The Genie Awards were given out annually by the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television to recognize the best of Canadian cinema from 1980–2012. They succeeded the Canadian Film Awards (1949–1978). In 2013, the Academy merged the Genie Awards with its sister presentation for television, the Gemini Awards, to form the Canadian Screen Awards.

Genie Award candidates were selected from submissions made by the owners of Canadian films or their representatives, based on the criteria laid out in the Genie Rules and Regulations booklet which were distributed to Academy members and industry members. Peer-group juries, assembled from volunteer members of the Academy, met to watch the submissions and select a group of nominees. Academy members then voted on these nominations.
Kenyte
Kenyte is a type of igneous rock. More specifically, it is a variety of porphyritic phonolite or trachyte with rhomb-shaped phenocrysts of anorthoclase with variable amounts of olivine and augite in a glassy matrix; the glass may be devitrified.

It was originally described and named by J. W. Gregory in 1900 for the occurrence on Mount Kenya. Kenyte has also been reported from Mount Kilimanjaro (Tanzania) and Mount Erebus (Antarctica).

Mount Erebus
Mount Erebus (/ˈɛrɪbəs/) is the southernmost active volcano on Earth, located on Ross Island in the Ross Dependency in Antarctica. With a summit elevation of 3,792 metres (12,441 ft), it is the second most prominent mountain in Antarctica (after Mount Vinson) and the second-highest volcano in Antarctica (after the dormant Mount Sidley). It is the highest point on Ross Island, which is also home to three inactive volcanoes: Mount Terror, Mount Bird, and Mount Terra Nova. It makes Ross Island the sixth-highest island on Earth.

The mountain was named by Captain James Clark Ross in 1841 for his ship, HMS Erebus.  The volcano has been active for around 1.3 million years and has a long-lived lava lake in its inner summit crater that has been present since at least the early 1970s. On 28 November 1979, Air New Zealand Flight 901 crashed on Mount Erebus, killing all 257 people on board.
Purcell Snowfield
Purcell Snowfield (70°29′S 69°55′W﻿ / ﻿70.483°S 69.917°W﻿ / -70.483; -69.917) is a snowfield, 15 nautical miles (28 km) wide, lying between the east portion of the Colbert Mountains and the west side of the Douglas Range in the central part of Alexander Island, Antarctica. The feature was mapped from air photos taken by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE), 1947–48, by Searle of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1960. The snowfield was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Henry Purcell (1659–1695), English composer.
