Volleyball at the 2008 Summer Olympics – Women's tournament
The women's tournament in volleyball at the 2008 Summer Olympics was held at Capital Indoor Stadium and Beijing Institute of Technology Gymnasium from 9 to 23 August 2008.

The twelve competing teams were split equally into two pools of six teams. Each team played all other teams in their pool with the winning team gaining two points and the losing side earning one point. The top four teams from each pool progressed through to the quarterfinals. The rest of the tournament was a single-elimination bracket, with a bronze medal match held between the two semifinal losers.

A total of 38 matches were played: 15 in each group, four quarterfinals, two semifinals, one bronze medal match, and one gold medal match.

Brazil won its first gold by defeating United States in the final.

China won bronze by winning against Cuba.

Time in China
The time in China follows a single standard time offset of UTC+08:00, where Beijing is located, even though the country spans five geographical time zones. It is the largest sovereign nation in the world that officially observes only one time zone.

The nationwide standardized time is named Beijing Time (BJT; Chinese: 北京时间) domestically and China Standard Time (CST) internationally. Daylight saving time has not been observed since 1991.

China Standard Time (UTC+8) is consistent across Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau. It is also equivalent with Taiwan, Philippines, Singapore, Brunei, most of Mongolia, Malaysia, Irkutsk Time of Russia, Western Australia, and Central Indonesia.

League of Women Voters of California
The League of Women Voters of California is a non-partisan organization that is part of the national League of Women Voters. Founded by Carrie Chapman Catt in the 1920s, The league was formed from the National American Women's Suffrage Association. Their stated goals are to encourage "informed and active participation in government," "increase understanding of major public policy issues," and influence "public policy through education and advocacy." The league has over 65 county groups within the state.

Carrie Chapman Catt
Carrie Chapman Catt (born Carrie Clinton Lane; January 9, 1859 – March 9, 1947) was an American women's suffrage leader who campaigned for the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which gave U.S. women the right to vote in 1920. Catt served as president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association from 1900 to 1904 and 1915 to 1920. She founded the League of Women Voters in 1920 and the International Woman Suffrage Alliance in 1904, which was later named International Alliance of Women. She "led an army of voteless women in 1919 to pressure Congress to pass the constitutional amendment giving them the right to vote and convinced state legislatures to ratify it in 1920". She "was one of the best-known women in the United States in the first half of the twentieth century and was on all lists of famous American women."
Kokanee Creek Provincial Park
Kokanee Creek Provincial Park is a provincial park on the west shore of Kootenay Lake in the West Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia. Highway 3A bisects the park 19 kilometres (12 mi) east of Nelson.

Established as a BC Provincial Park in 1955, it encompasses 260 hectares of sandy beaches, deltas, and coniferous forest.

Kitto (or Kitto's, or Kittos) Landing was formerly at this location. Believed to be named after Henry Richard Kitto, who farmed the land from 1910, a government wharf existed by 1912. The Consolidated Mining and Smelting Co. hauled ore from its Molly Gibson mine to this landing. During the 1920s, the place fell into obscurity.

Provincial park
A provincial park (or territorial park) is a park administered by one of the provinces of a country, as opposed to a national park. They are similar to state parks in other countries. They are typically open to the public for recreation. Their environment may be more or less strictly protected.

Newt fencing
Newt fencing is a barrier designed to control the movement of great crested newts, other amphibians or reptiles.  It can also be called drift fencing or temporary amphibian fencing (TAF).  It consists of a low fence of plastic sheeting, buried a short way into the ground and supported by lightweight posts, usually made of wood or plastic.  It is used to keep animals out of working areas, to keep them in safe areas of their habitat, to intercept migration routes, or to control their movement to facilitate their capture for translocation.  It can be used in conjunction with pitfall traps placed at the base of the fence.  It is most commonly used in association with building projects to minimise disturbance to protected species.

Species translocation
Translocation is the human action of moving an organism from one area and releasing it in another. In terms of wildlife conservation, its objective is to improve the conservation status of the translocated organism or to restore the function and processes of the ecosystem the organism is entering.

Two overarching goals of translocation are population restoration and conservation introduction. Population restoration includes reinforcing existing populations and reintroducing populations to areas where they have disappeared. Conservation introduction involves assisted colonization of organisms in entirely new areas, and ecological replacement of organisms to new areas to fulfill a vacant role in the ecosystem.

The International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) catalogs translocation projects and creates extensive guidelines for their design and execution around the globe.
Charles Hubbard (politician)
Charles Isaac Hubbard, PC CD (October 29, 1940 – February 12, 2020) was a Canadian politician. A former member of the House of Commons of Canada, he represented the riding of Miramichi, New Brunswick from 1993 to 2008 as a member of the Liberal Party of Canada. Hubbard was a former school principal. He served as former Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Transport during the government of Paul Martin.

Minister of Crown–Indigenous Relations
In Canada, the minister of Crown–Indigenous relations (French: ministre des relations couronne-autochtones) is a minister of the Crown who is responsible for the Department of Crown–Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs, along with the minister of northern and Arctic affairs. The department administers the Indian Act and other legislation dealing with "Indians and lands reserved for the Indians" under subsection 91(24) of the Constitution Act, 1867. The minister is also more broadly responsible for overall relations between the Government of Canada and First Nations, Métis, and Inuit.

Rebecca Alty has served as The minister of Crown–Indigenous relations since May 13, 2025. The minister is selected by the prime minister and appointed by the Crown. The position is one of two portfolios responsible for policies relating to Indigenous peoples in Canada, with the minister of Indigenous services overseeing service delivery.
Dionysios Vasilopoulos
Dionysios Vasilopoulos (1902–1964) was a Greek swimmer. He competed in the water polo at the 1920 Summer Olympics and the 1924 Summer Olympics and in three swimming events at the 1924 Summer Olympics. He competed for Al-Iskanderiya in Egypt and AOPF of Palaio Faliro in Greece.

Swimming at the 1924 Summer Olympics
At the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris, eleven swimming events were contested, six for men and five for women. The competitions were held from Sunday July 13, 1924, to Sunday July 20, 1924.

There were 169 participants from 23 countries competing.  The United States team, coached by Bill Bachrach, won 19 of the 33 medals, and 9 of the 11 gold medals.
Alfred J. Morley
Alfred James Morley (1861 – September 16, 1958) was a civil engineer, businessman and politician in British Columbia, Canada. He was mayor of Victoria from 1905 to 1907, from 1909 to 1911 and in 1913.

Born in England, Morley came to California and later settled in Victoria. He married Mary Goodall. Morley owned the Victoria Coffee & Spice Mills until 1909.

Morley was elected in part due to a rising demand for moral reform in Victoria. After he was elected, Morley and the police chief struck an unofficial deal with Stella Carroll, a popular "madam" in the city. If she would move her brothel out of downtown and into what was considered the town's "red-light district", she would be left alone. However, public pressure forced the mayor to renege on this deal.

He died in Victoria at the age of 96.

Red-light district
A red-light district or pleasure district is a part of an urban area where a concentration of prostitution and sex-oriented businesses, such as sex shops, strip clubs, and adult theaters, are found. In most cases, red-light districts are particularly associated with female street prostitution, though in some cities, these areas may coincide with spaces of male prostitution and gay venues. Areas in many big cities around the world have acquired an international reputation as red-light districts.
John Anderson (merchant)
Sir John Anderson (1852–1924), was Scottish merchant, of Singapore and Eastcote.

He became sole owner of the trading firm of Guthrie & Co, and his "dominating role in rubber production made Anderson the most influential businessman of his generation in Malaya and especially in Singapore."

Anderson died at his house, Eastcote Place, near Pinner, Middlesex, on 18 December 1924. His second wife became sole owner of Guthries and its chairman. His third son, Keith became an important figure in the management of Guthries.

He is buried at St Martin's Church, Ruislip.

Pinner
Pinner is a suburb in the London Borough of Harrow, northwest London, England, 12 miles (19 km) northwest of Charing Cross, close to the border with Hillingdon, historically in the county of Middlesex. The population was 38,698 in 2021.

Pinner originated as a mediaeval hamlet; St John Baptist church dates from the 14th century, and other parts of the historic village include Tudor buildings. The newer High Street is mainly 18th-century buildings, while Bridge Street has a more urban character and many chain stores.
Moruga thorsborneorum
Moruga thorsborneorum is a species of mygalomorph spider in the Barychelidae family. It is endemic to Australia. It was described in 1994 by Australian arachnologist Robert Raven. The specific epithet thorsborneorum honours Australian conservationists Arthur and Margaret Thorsborne, whose activism contributed to the establishment of many nature reserves in northern Queensland.

Margaret Thorsborne
Margaret Grace Thorsborne AO (3 June 1927 – 16 October 2018) was an Australian naturalist, conservationist and environmental activist.  She was notable for her efforts, with her husband Arthur Thorsborne, in initiating the long-term monitoring and protection of the Torresian imperial-pigeon on the Brook Islands, north east of Hinchinbrook Island, Far North Queensland.  Toward the end of her life, she was involved in the struggle to protect Queensland’s Wet Tropics World Heritage Area and animals such as the southern cassowary, mahogany glider and dugong.
A290 highway (Russia)
The A290, before 2018 also known as M25, is a federal road in Russia that runs east–west along the northeast shore of the Black Sea from Novorossiysk to Port Kavkaz, and, via the Crimean Bridge, to Kerch in Crimea. The entire route is part of European route E97.

Port Kavkaz
Port Kavkaz (Russian: Порт Кавказ) is a small harbour on the Chushka Spit in Krasnodar Krai, Russia, on the eastern side of Kerch Strait. It is adjacent to the village of Chushka, which is now largely deserted due to the toxic effects of the port.

The port is able to handle vessels up to 130 metres (430 ft) in length, 14.5 metres (48 ft) in breadth and with draft up to 5 metres (16 ft). It was the eastern terminal of the railroad and car Kerch Strait ferry line connecting Krasnodar Krai with Crimea (the western terminal of the ferry line is Port Krym). It is served by a railway line and the Port Kavkaz railway station. The southern zone of the port has been under renovation to increase the port's throughput to 4 megatonnes (3,900,000 long tons; 4,400,000 short tons).
Yevgeny Grishin (water polo)
Yevgeny Borisovich Grishin (Russian: Евгений Борисович Гришин, born 1 October 1959) is a retired Russian water polo defender. He was part of the Soviet teams that won gold medals at the 1980 Olympics, 1982 World Championships, and 1983 and 1985 European championships, and placed third at the 1986 World Championships and 1988 Olympics. Grishin was coached by his father Boris, who is also a retired Olympic water polo defender. His mother Valentina and sister Yelena are Olympic fencers.

His nephew, Sergey Bida, is a top-ranked épée fencer who made his Olympic debut in Tokyo, winning a silver medal. He was ranked #1 in the world in 2020.  He is also a three-time European épée team champion. He moved to the United States in 2023 after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, along with his wife, Olympic épée fencer Violetta Khrapina Bida.

Épée
The épée (/ˈɛpeɪ, ˈeɪ-/, French: [epe]; lit. 'sword'), also rendered as epee in English, is the largest and heaviest of the three weapons used in the sport of fencing. The modern épée derives from the 19th-century épée de combat, a weapon which itself derives from the French small sword.

As a thrusting weapon, the épée is similar to a foil (contrasted with a sabre, which is designed for slashing). It has a stiffer blade than a foil. It is triangular in cross-section with a V-shaped groove called a fuller. The épée also has a larger bell guard designed to protect the user’s arm. In addition to the larger "bell" guard and blade, the épée weighs more than the foil and sabre which contributes to its reputation of being the slowest form of fencing. The techniques of use differ, as there are no rules regarding priority and a lack of right of way. Thus, immediate counterattacks are a common feature of épée fencing. The entire body is a valid target area.
Bradyurus
Bradyurus (Greek for "slow tail") is an extinct genus of marine ray-finned fish that lived during the Eocene. It contains two species, both known from the Ypresian-aged Monte Bolca site of Italy.

The following species are known:

B. alessandroi Bannikov & Zorzin, 2022

B. szajnochae (de Zigno, 1887) (type species) (=Crenilabrus szajnochae de Zigno, 1887)

The type species was initially described as a species of Crenilabrus, which was then moved to Symphodus when the former was found to be the synonym of the latter. It was later moved to its own genus, Eolabroides by Eastman, but this was found to be a synonym of an earlier-described genus, Bradyurus.

Initially considered an early wrasse, it is now thought to be an indeterminate percomorph, though it may be potentially related to grunts.

Wrasse
The wrasses are a family, Labridae, of marine ray-finned fish, many of which are brightly colored. The family is large and diverse, with over 600 species in 81 genera, which are divided into eight subfamilies.

They are typically small, most of them less than 20 cm (7.9 in) long, although the largest, the humphead wrasse, can measure up to 2.5 m (8.2 ft). They are efficient carnivores, feeding on a wide range of small invertebrates. Many smaller wrasses follow the feeding trails of larger fish, picking up invertebrates disturbed by their passing. Juveniles of some representatives of the genera Bodianus, Epibulus, Cirrhilabrus, Oxycheilinus, and Paracheilinus hide among the tentacles of the free-living mushroom corals and Heliofungia actiniformis.
September 1951 lunar eclipse
A penumbral lunar eclipse occurred at the Moon’s ascending node of orbit on Saturday, September 15, 1951, with an umbral magnitude of −0.1927. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow, causing the Moon to be darkened. A penumbral lunar eclipse occurs when part or all of the Moon's near side passes into the Earth's penumbra. Unlike a solar eclipse, which can only be viewed from a relatively small area of the world, a lunar eclipse may be viewed from anywhere on the night side of Earth. Occurring about 3.6 days after perigee (on September 11, 1951, at 21:30 UTC), the Moon's apparent diameter was larger.

This eclipse was the last of four penumbral lunar eclipses in 1951, with the others occurring on February 21, March 23, and August 17.

Magnitude of eclipse
The magnitude of eclipse is the fraction of the angular diameter of a celestial body being eclipsed. This applies to all celestial eclipses. The magnitude of a partial or annular solar eclipse is always between 0.0 and 1.0, while the magnitude of a total solar eclipse is always greater than or equal to 1.0, and has a theoretically maximum value of around 1.12.

This measure is strictly a ratio of diameters and should not be confused with the covered fraction of the apparent area (disk) of the eclipsed body. Neither should it be confused with the astronomical magnitude scale of apparent brightness.

Chuqi Sillani
Chuqi Sillani (Aymara chuqi gold, silla cane of maize, -ni a suffix, "the one with the golden cane of maize", also spelled Choque Sillani) is a 4,812-metre-high (15,787 ft) mountain in the Bolivian Andes. It is located in the La Paz Department, Loayza Province, Luribay Municipality. Chuqi Sillani lies southeast of Qillwan Quta and east of a plain named Qillwan Quta Pampa.

Cane (grass)
Cane is any of various tall, perennial grasses with flexible, woody stalks from the genera Arundinaria, and Arundo.

Scientifically speaking, they are either of two genera from the family Poaceae.  The genus Arundo is native from the Mediterranean Basin to the Far East. The genus Arundinaria is a bamboo (Bambuseae) found in the New World. Neither genus includes sugarcane (genus Saccharum, tribe Andropogoneae).

Cane commonly grows in large riparian stands known as canebrakes, found in toponyms throughout the Southern and Western United States; they are much like the tules (Schoenoplectus acutus) of California.

Depending on strength, cane can be fashioned for various purposes, including walking sticks, crutches, assistive canes, judicial or school canes, baskets, furniture, boats, roofs and wherever stiff, withy sticks can be put to good use.
Eugene Airport
Eugene Airport (IATA: EUG, ICAO: KEUG, FAA LID: EUG), also known as Mahlon Sweet Field, is a public airport 7 miles (11 km) northwest of Eugene, in Lane County, Oregon, United States. Owned and operated by the City of Eugene, it is the fifth-largest airport in the Pacific Northwest.

The terminal building has "A" gates on the upper level and "B" gates, ticketing, and baggage claim on the lower level. The airport has an expanded air cargo facility and three fixed-base operators (FBOs) to handle general aviation. In 2025, the Eugene Airport handled 1,711,855 passengers, a 1.76% increase from 2024.

The airport was named for Mahlon Sweet (1886–1947), a Eugene automobile dealer who was a strong supporter of aviation and pushed to get the now-defunct Eugene Air Park built in 1919, followed by the current airfield in 1943.

In 2010, a new airport rescue and firefighting facility was built.

EUG covers 2,600 acres (1,052 ha) of land.
