2009 Westmeath County Council election
An election to Westmeath County Council took place on 5 June 2009 as part of that year's Irish local elections. 23 councillors were elected from five local electoral areas (LEAs) for a five-year term of office on the electoral system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV).

Local electoral area
A local electoral area (LEA; Irish: toghlimistéar áitiúil) is an electoral area for elections to local authorities in Ireland. All elections use the single transferable vote. Ireland is divided into 166 LEAs, with an average population of 28,700 and average area of 423.3 square kilometres (163.4 sq mi). The boundaries of LEAs are determined by order of the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, usually based on lower-level units called electoral divisions (EDs), with a total of 3,440 EDs in the state.

As well as their use for electoral purposes, LEAs are local administrative units in Eurostat NUTS classification. They are used in local numbers of cases of COVID-19.
Paul Sample (cartoonist)
Paul Sample (19 February 1947 – 27 January 2026) was a British cartoonist and illustrator best known for his cartoon strip Ogri, and for the covers of paperbacks by Tom Sharpe and Flann O'Brien, posters for BBC Radio Two and advertisements for the Post Office, Ford, Dunlop, and British Airways. His fans include actor and biker Ewan McGregor.

Flann O'Brien
Brian O'Nolan (Irish: Brian Ó Nualláin; 5 October 1911 – 1 April 1966), whose pen names included Flann O'Brien, was an Irish Civil Service official, novelist, playwright and satirist, who is now considered a major figure in twentieth-century Irish literature. Born in Strabane, County Tyrone, he is regarded as a key figure in modernist and postmodern literature. His four English-language novels, including At Swim-Two-Birds and The Third Policeman, were published under the pen name Flann O'Brien. His many satirical columns in The Irish Times and an Irish-language novel, An Béal Bocht, were written under the name Myles na gCopaleen.

O'Brien's novels have attracted a wide following both for their unconventional humour and as prominent examples of modernist metafiction. As a novelist, O'Brien was influenced by James Joyce. He was nonetheless sceptical of the "cult" of Joyce, saying "I declare to God if I hear that name Joyce one more time I will surely froth at the gob."
Gerolamo Sersale
Gerolamo Sersale (in Latin, Hieronymus Sirsalis) (Naples, 1584–Naples, 1 December 1654) was an Italian Jesuit astronomer and selenographer.  His surname is from a noble Neapolitan family that originated in Sorrento.  The town Sersale, a commune in the southern Italian province of Catanzaro, was founded in 1620.  A Jesuit priest, Sersale drew a fairly precise map of a full moon observed on 13 July 1650. The map was engraved in 1651 and was studied by other astronomers, like Grimaldi and praised and mentioned in Riccioli's Almagestum novum and Astronomia reformata. However, today it can be seen in the Naval Observatory of San Fernando in Cadiz, Spain.
With his telescope, the Jesuit Father Daniele Bartoli was able to see two spots on Mars in Naples in 1644.

The lunar crater Sirsalis is named after him.

Selenography
Selenography is the study of the surface and physical features of the Moon (also known as geography of the Moon, or selenodesy). Like geography and areography, selenography is a subdiscipline within the field of planetary science. Historically, the principal concern of selenographists was the mapping and naming of the lunar terrane identifying maria, craters, mountain ranges, and other various features. This task was largely finished when high resolution images of the near and far sides of the Moon were obtained by orbiting spacecraft during the early space era. Nevertheless, some regions of the Moon remain poorly imaged (especially near the poles) and the exact locations of many features (like crater depths) are uncertain by several kilometers. Today, selenography is considered to be a subdiscipline of selenology, which itself is most often referred to as simply "Lunar science."
Ryan Williams (Australian rules footballer)
Ryan Williams (born 10 October 1988) is an Australian rules footballer who played for Port Adelaide Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He also previously played for the Central District Football Club in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) and joined the Geelong Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL) in 2015.

Originally from TAC Cup side Geelong Falcons, Williams was drafted by Port Adelaide at number 83 in the 2006 AFL draft.

Williams played with SANFL club Central District when not required with Port Adelaide and made his AFL debut against Carlton in 2008. He plays as a small defender.

Williams was delisted by Port Adelaide at the end of the 2008 season.

2006 AFL draft
The 2006 AFL draft is a recent national draft of the Australian Football League.  The AFL draft is the annual draft of talented players by Australian rules football teams that participate in the main competition of that sport, the Australian Football League.

The 2006 AFL draft is noted as being the second "superdraft" since the draft system's inception, due to the wealth and depth of talent.

The AFL pre-season draft, rookie draft and trade week also occurred during the 2006/07 Australian Football League off-season.
Nile (1802 ship)
Nile was launched at Nantes in 1795 and was captured or purchased from the French in 1802. She then made four voyages from Liverpool as a slave ship in the triangular trade in enslaved people. Between her first and second voyages transporting enslaved people she cruised for less than year as a privateer. With the abolition in 1807 of the slave trade, Nile became a regular merchantman, but now trading with Africa. She was sold in Barbados in 1811.

Slave ship
Slave ships were large cargo ships specially built or converted from the 17th to the 19th century for transporting slaves. Such ships were also known as "Guineamen" because the trade involved human trafficking to and from the Guinea coast in West Africa.
Hispanic and Latino conservatism in the United States
Hispanic and Latino Americans make up an increasing share of the United States (U.S.) electorate. While most Latinos identify as Democrats and most Latino elected officials are members of the Democratic Party, there has been an increase in Republican party identification among Latinos and increased numbers of elected Latino Republicans over time.

Scholars note that Latinos and Hispanics are not a monolithic group. Factors such as age, location, income, sex, religion, ethnicity, education, and immigration status can all significantly influence voting factors among Hispanics and Latinos. Historically, Cuban Americans in South Florida have been the most prominent Latino Republicans. Since the 1960s, the majority of Latino Republican candidates for office have been Cuban Americans. Over time, Latino Republicans have become more diverse, no longer being primarily confined to Cuban Americans.

Florida Senate
The Florida Senate is the upper house of the Florida Legislature, the state legislature of the U.S. state of Florida, the Florida House of Representatives being the lower house. Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution of Florida, adopted in 1968, defines the role of the Legislature and how it is to be constituted. The Senate is composed of 40 members, each elected from a single-member district with a population of approximately 540,000 residents. The Senate Chamber is located in the State Capitol building.

The Republicans hold a supermajority in the chamber with 27 seats; Democrats are in the minority with 11 seats. One seat is held by an independent, and one seat is vacant.
Magyar vándor
Magyar vándor (English: The Hungarian Strayer or Hungarian Vagabond) is a 2004 Hungarian action comedy film directed by Gábor Herendi and starring Károly Gesztesi, János Gyuriska and Gyula Bodrogi. The plot contains elements of time travel fiction.

Cinema of Hungary
Hungary has had a cinema industry since the beginning of the 20th century including Hungarians  within and beyond the country's borders. Directors include István Szabó, Béla Tarr, and Miklós Jancsó. Producer William Fox and Adolph Zukor, the founders of Fox Studios and Paramount Pictures respectively, and Alexander Korda, who played a leading role in the early period of British cinema had Hungarian roots. Examples of successful Hungarian films include Merry-go-round, Mephisto, Werckmeister Harmonies and Kontroll.
Umm Anmar
Umm Anmar (Arabic: أم أنمار الخزاعية) was a seventh-century woman of the Banu Khuza'a who met the companions of Muhammad. She is known to have been female circumciser in Mecca.

Umm Anmar bought the slave Khabbab ibn al-Aratt, whose family was from Lower Mesopotamia, and she and her brother Siba'a ibn Abd al-Uzza tortured him. Later, she freed Khabbab after he became a renowned swordsmith, and he went on to become a famous qāriʾ (Quranic reciter) and transmitter of ahadith.

Umm Anmar married Zuhayr ibn Abd al-As'ad, by who she had a son, Anmar.

Khabbab ibn al-Aratt
Khabbāb ibn al-Aratt (Arabic: خبّاب بن الأرتّ), c. 585 – c. 660, was a companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad whom Islamic tradition regards as one of the ten earliest converts to Islam. Born as a slave in Mecca, he later became a swordsmith and was able to build up enough of a reputation to eventually get freed by his master. His beautiful recitation of the Quran is said to have been the direct cause of Umar ibn al-Khattab's (died 644, reigned as the second caliph 634–644) conversion to Islam in c. 616.
Corliss Steam Engine (Pawnee, Oklahoma)
The Corliss Steam Engine on the Pawnee County Fairgrounds in Pawnee, Oklahoma is a Corliss steam engine that was built c. 1912. It and a twin sister engine were originally built for the Blackwell Zinc Co., of Blackwell, Oklahoma. It powered most of the electricity-powered machinery in the 1000-employee zinc smelting plant, until the plant closed in 1973.

It was later donated to the Oklahoma Steam Thresher Association, disassembled, and restored in its own building on the Pawnee County Fairgrounds. One source on the web has 6 photos of the engine displayed there.

Zinc smelting
Zinc smelting is the process of converting zinc concentrates (ores that contain zinc) into pure zinc. Zinc smelting has historically been more difficult than the smelting of other metals, e.g. iron, because in contrast, zinc has a low boiling point.  At temperatures typically used for smelting metals, zinc is a gas that will escape from a furnace with the flue gas and be lost, unless specific measures are taken to prevent it.

The most common zinc concentrate processed is zinc sulfide, which is obtained by concentrating sphalerite via froth flotation. Secondary (recycled) zinc material, such as zinc oxide, is also processed with the zinc sulfide. Approximately 30% of all zinc produced is from recycled sources.
Freak 'n' Roll...Into the Fog: The Black Crowes All Join Hands, The Fillmore, San Francisco
Freak 'n' Roll ...Into the Fog: The Black Crowes All Join Hands, The Fillmore, San Francisco is a live concert album released on DVD, CD and Blu-ray by American southern rock band The Black Crowes in 2006. 
Filmed at The Fillmore in August 2005, this performance was the second of a five-night stand at the theater. The set features guests Dave Ellis and the Left Coast Horns.

All three versions have the same track list, with the CD version being split over two discs between "Sunday Night Buttermilk Waltz" and "Cursed Diamond".  They present the August 6, 2005 show in its entirety with one omission: the Rolling Stones cover "Loving Cup" was performed between "Welcome To The Goodtimes" and "Jealous Again", though the copies of the CD sold at Wal-Mart stores included access to a digital download of the omitted song.

The Fillmore
The Fillmore is a historic music venue in San Francisco, California.

Built in 1912 and originally named the Majestic Hall, it became the Fillmore Auditorium in 1954. It is in Western Addition, on the edge of the Fillmore District and Upper Fillmore neighborhood.

Since 2007, it has been operated by Live Nation, which has since named new clubs and renamed existing ones after the Fillmore.
2012 Gosport Borough Council election
The 2012 Gosport Council election was held on 3 May 2012 to elect members of the Gosport Council in England. This was the same day as other 2012 United Kingdom local elections. The Conservatives gained three seats from the Liberal Democrats, whilst Labour gained one seat each from the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats. Both Labour and the Conservatives saw an increased vote share, whilst the Liberal Democrats' vote share fell.

After the election the composition of the council was:

Conservative: 24

Labour: 5

Liberal Democrats: 5

2012 United Kingdom local elections
The 2012 United Kingdom local elections were held across England, Scotland and Wales on 3 May 2012. Elections were held in 128 English local authorities, all 32 Scottish local authorities and 21 of the 22 Welsh unitary authorities, alongside three mayoral elections including the London mayoralty and the London Assembly. Referendums were also held in 11 English cities to determine whether or not to introduce directly elected mayors.

The inaugural election of police and crime commissioners for 41 of the 43 territorial police forces in England and Wales took place separately, in November 2012.
Hermitian wavelet
Hermitian wavelets are a family of discrete and continuous wavelets used in the constant and discrete Hermite wavelet transforms. The  Hermitian wavelet is defined as the normalized  derivative of a Gaussian distribution for each positive :where  denotes the  probabilist's Hermite polynomial. Each normalization coefficient  is given by  The function  is said to be an admissible Hermite wavelet if it satisfies the admissibility condition:

where  are the terms of the Hermite transform of .

In computer vision and image processing, Gaussian derivative operators of different orders are frequently used as a basis for expressing various types of visual operations; see scale space and N-jet.

Continuous wavelet transform
In mathematics, the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) is a formal (i.e., non-numerical) tool that provides an overcomplete representation of a signal by letting the translation and scale parameter of the wavelets vary continuously.
Rafiou Moutairou
Rafiou Moutairou (born 11 October 1960) is a Togolese retired footballer who played as a forward. He finished in third place in the 1983 African Footballer of the Year polling while playing for OC Agaza in Lomé. He is the half brother from Bachirou Salou. Moutairou played for the Togo national team at the 1984 African Cup of Nations.

1984 African Cup of Nations
The 1984 African Cup of Nations was the 14th edition of the Africa Cup of Nations, the football championship of Africa (CAF). It was hosted by Ivory Coast. Just like in 1982, the field of eight teams was split into two groups of four. Cameroon won its first championship, beating Nigeria in the final 3−1.
A Change Would Do You Good
"A Change Would Do You Good" (also known as "A Change") is the fourth single from American singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow's 1996 self-titled album. The song uses a series of non sequitur lyrics to describe what one should change in life. In the United States, the song peaked at number 19 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart and topped the Billboard Triple-A chart for six weeks. Internationally, it became Crow's third top-five single from the album in Canada, where it reached number two, and peaked at number eight in the United Kingdom.

Adult Alternative Airplay
Adult Alternative Airplay (also known as Triple A or Triple A Airplay, and formerly Adult Alternative Songs and Triple A Songs) is a record chart currently published by Billboard that ranks the most popular songs on adult album alternative radio stations. The 40-position chart is formulated based on each song's weekly radio spins, as measured by Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems. 
The current number-one song on the chart is "The Great Divide" by Noah Kahan.
Dey's Arena
Dey's Arena, also known as Dey Brothers Rink, Dey's Skating Rink and The Arena, were a series of ice rinks and arenas located in Ottawa, Ontario, that hold importance in the early development of the organized sport of ice hockey in Canada. It was the home arena of the Ottawa Hockey Club, variously known as the Generals, the Silver Seven and the Senators from the 1890s until 1923, although it is known that games were also played at the Rideau Skating Rink in the 1890s and the Aberdeen Pavilion in 1904. The rink and arenas were built by two generations of the Dey family, who were prominent in Ottawa at the time, with a thriving boat works business serving the lumber business. The Dey family also played hockey.

Rideau Canal
The Rideau Canal is a 202-kilometre long canal that links the Ottawa River at Ottawa with the Cataraqui River and Lake Ontario at Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Its 46 locks raise boats from the Ottawa River 83 metres (272 feet) upstream along the Rideau River to the Rideau Lakes, and from there drop 50 metres (164 feet) downstream along the Cataraqui River to Kingston.

The Rideau Canal opened in 1832 for commercial shipping. Freight was eventually moved to railways and the St. Lawrence Seaway, but the canal remains in use today for pleasure boating, operated by Parks Canada from May through October. It is the oldest continuously operated canal system in North America, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Cyperus chalaranthus
Cyperus chalaranthus is a species of sedge that is native to parts of northern South America.

The species was first formally described by the botanists Carl Borivoj Presl and Jan Svatopluk Presl in 1828.

Carl Borivoj Presl
Carl Borivoj Presl (Czech: Karel Bořivoj Presl; 17 February 1794 – 2 October 1852) was a Czech botanist. The standard author abbreviation C.Presl is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.
Idiots Assemble: Spitting Image The Musical
Idiots Assemble: Spitting Image The Musical is a British satirical puppet stage show by Al Murray, Matt Forde and Sean Foley, based on the TV series Spitting Image, which in turn is based on the 1984 series of the same name created by Peter Fluck, Roger Law and Martin Lambie-Nairn.

Peter Fluck
Peter Nigel Fluck (born 7 April 1941) is a British caricaturist and one half of the partnership known as Luck and Flaw (with Roger Law), creators of the popular satirical TV puppet show Spitting Image.

He attended Cambridgeshire High School for Boys, a grammar school, and then Cambridge School of Art (now part of Anglia Ruskin University).

Fluck taught art in the 1970s at the Colchester School of Art in Colchester, Essex.
After Spitting Image finished its run, he moved to Cornwall to work as an artist.

He married Anne-Cécile de Bruyne in 1963 in Cambridge. They have a daughter and a son. He lives in Cadgwith, Cornwall.
Guy Rouleau (politician)
Guy Rouleau (19 February 1923 – 7 October 2010) was a Liberal party member of the House of Commons of Canada. He was a lawyer by career.

He was first elected at the Dollard riding in the 1953 general election and re-elected for successive terms in 1957, 1958, 1962 and 1963, but his term in the Liberal caucus ended on 31 July 1965 before his term in the 26th Canadian Parliament ended. Rouleau did not seek further re-election after this.

Rouleau became Parliamentary Secretary to Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson in February 1964. However, he was embroiled in a scandal in which Pearson's government was accused of bribery regarding attempts to secure bail for drug trafficker Lucien Rivard. The scandal affected numerous government careers, including that of Rouleau whose role as the Prime Minister's Secretary ended on 23 November 1964.

Dollard (electoral district)
Dollard (French pronunciation: [dɔlaʁ]) was a federal electoral district in Quebec, Canada, which was represented in the House of Commons from 1953 to 1988. It was held continuously by a Liberal MP until 1984, when Gerry Weiner of the Progressive Conservative Party won the seat for one term up to its abolishment.
VfL 08 Vichttal
VfL 08 Vichttal is a German professional football club based in  Stolberg. Founded in 2008 from the merger of the VfL Zweifall and the VfB Vicht, the team has competed in the Mittelrheinliga since the 2017–18 season.

Stolberg (Rhineland)
Stolberg (German pronunciation: [ˈʃtɔlbɛʁk] ⓘ, Ripuarian: Stolbersch) is a town in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It has a long history as an industrial town and belongs to the district Aachen and the lower district court of Eschweiler.
Toothpick
A toothpick is a small thin stick of wood, plastic, bamboo, metal, bone or other substance with at least one and sometimes two pointed ends to insert between teeth to remove detritus, usually after a meal. Toothpicks are also used for festive occasions to hold or spear small appetizers (like cheese cubes or olives) or as a cocktail stick, and can be decorated with plastic frills or small paper umbrellas or flags.

Detritus
In biology, detritus (/dəˈtraɪtəs/ or /ˈdɛtrɪtəs/) is organic matter made up of the decomposing remains of organisms and plants, and also of feces. Detritus usually hosts communities of microorganisms that colonize and decompose (remineralise) it. Such microorganisms may be decomposers, detritivores, or coprophages.

In terrestrial ecosystems detritus is present as plant litter and other organic matter that is intermixed with soil, known as soil organic matter. The detritus of aquatic ecosystems is organic substances suspended in the water and accumulated in depositions on the floor of the body of water; when this floor is a seabed, such a deposition is called marine snow.
Pick slide
A pick slide or pick scrape is a guitar technique most often performed in the rock, punk or metal music genres. The technique is executed by holding the edge of the pick against any of the three or four wound strings and moving it along the string. As the pick moves across the string, the edge of the pick catches the string's windings in rapid succession causing the string to vibrate and produce a note. This rapid rattling of the pick's edge against the windings also gives the resulting note a grinding or grating quality.

The pitch of a pick slide rises as the pick moves closer to the bridge, and lowers as the pick moves up to the neck. Since pick slides usually start near the bridge and end over the higher frets, these slides have a characteristic of gradually lowering the pitch. A pick slide causes little – if any – damage to the strings, pickups or guitar, but it does ruin the edge of the pick; thinner picks made of more durable materials are the best choice for the technique.

Pitch (music)
Pitch is the quality that makes it possible to judge sounds as "higher" and "lower" in the sense associated with musical melodies. Pitch is a perceptual property that allows sounds to be ordered on a frequency-related scale. 
Pitch is a major auditory attribute of musical tones, along with duration, loudness, and timbre.

Pitch may be quantified as a frequency, but pitch is not a purely objective physical property; it is a subjective psychoacoustical attribute of sound. Historically, the study of pitch and pitch perception has been a central problem in psychoacoustics, and has been instrumental in forming and testing theories of sound representation, processing, and perception in the auditory system.
