John Spano
John Angelo Spano Jr. (born May 31, 1964) is an American businessman and convicted fraudster. He is best known for briefly buying control of the New York Islanders franchise of the National Hockey League (NHL) in 1996, before it emerged that he had barely a fraction of the assets to buy the team; he used fraud to borrow enough money to initiate the purchase, believing he could use the fraudulently purchased team itself as the asset to then get the rest of the tens of millions of dollars needed to cover his fraud. He subsequently pleaded guilty to bank and wire fraud and served a federal prison sentence. Spano was convicted of 16 counts of forgery in Ohio in 2015 and served his sentence in Grafton Correctional Institution. He was released in November 2024.
Betws-y-Coed and Trefriw
Betws-y-Coed and Trefriw (Welsh: Betws-y-Coed a Threfriw) is an electoral ward in the southwest of Conwy County Borough, Wales. It was created following a ward boundary review, effective from the 2022 Conwy County Borough Council election, by the merger of the former Betws-y-Coed ward and part of the Trefriw ward. Betws-y-Coed covered its namesake community of Betws-y-Coed, as well as the neighbouring communities of Dolwyddelan and Capel Curig. Subsequently the community of Trefriw has been added to create the latest ward.

According to the 2011 UK Census the population of the Betws-y-Coed ward was 1,244.

Anthony Quiney
Anthony Prosper Quiney PhD, FSA, RAI (born 1935) is an architectural historian, building archaeologist, writer and photographer who has lived in Blackheath for many years. Dr. Quiney is Professor Emeritus of Architectural History at the University of Greenwich, a distinguished Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London and President Emeritus of the Royal Archaeological Institute.  He has authored several books on the architectural history of England.

As a young boy, he was evacuated from London during the rocket attacks of 1945, to the countryside near a U.S. military airfield, where an American aircrew took him around their B-17 Flying Fortress bomber.  This led to a lifelong fascination with military aviation.  As a young man, Quiney performed his national service as a radar technician in the Royal Air Force, and later in life he realised a dream of piloting a restored Supermarine Spitfire.

Crossover (fiction)
A crossover is the placement of two or more otherwise discrete fictional characters, settings, or universes into the context of a single story. They can arise from legal agreements between the relevant copyright holders (known as intercompany crossovers), common corporate ownership or unofficial efforts by fans.

This is different from a spoof, where one discrete character, setting, or universe, copies another character, setting, or universe, often in a comedic manner.
Spencerville Covered Bridge
Spencerville Covered Bridge is a historic covered bridge located at Spencerville, Indiana. It was built in 1873, and spans the St. Joseph River. It is a Smith Type 4 truss bridge on concrete piers.  It measures 146 feet long and topped by a gable roof and sided with board-and-batten siding.  It is one of only six remaining Smith trusses in Indiana.: 2–3

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.

The Spencerville Covered Bridge was identified as a top priority among the thousands of rural bridges in the United States worthy of repair in President Biden's “American Jobs Plan” proposed on March 31, 2021. The Bill must first be approved by The US Congress, including votes by Indiana's 3rd Congressional District Representative Jim Banks and US Senators Todd Young and Mike Braun.

Covered bridge
A covered bridge is a timber-truss bridge with a roof, decking, and siding, which in most covered bridges create an almost complete enclosure. The purpose of the covering is to protect the wooden structural members from the weather. Uncovered wooden bridges typically have a lifespan of only 20 years because of the effects of rain and sun, but a covered bridge can last over 100 years. In the United States, only about 1 in 10 survived the 20th century. The relatively small number of surviving bridges is due to deliberate replacement, neglect, and the high cost of restoration.

Surviving covered bridges often attract touristic attention due to their rarity, quaint appearance, and bucolic settings. Many are considered historic and have been the subject of historic preservation campaigns.
Lloyd Gross
Lloyd George "Bomber" Gross (September 5, 1905 – December 11, 1990) was a professional ice hockey player who played 52 games in the National Hockey League. He played for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Boston Bruins, Detroit Red Wings, and New York Americans between 1927 and 1935. The rest of his career, which lasted from 1925 to 1942, was spent in various minor leagues. He was born in Berlin, Ontario.

New York Americans
The New York Americans, colloquially known as the Amerks, were a professional ice hockey team based in New York City from 1925 to 1942. They were the third expansion team in the history of the National Hockey League (NHL) and the second to play in the United States. The team never won the Stanley Cup, but reached the semifinals twice. While it was the first team in New York City, it was eclipsed by the second, the New York Rangers, which arrived in 1926 under the ownership of the Amerks' landlord, Madison Square Garden. The team played as the Brooklyn Americans during the 1941–42 season before suspending operations in 1942 due to World War II and long-standing financial difficulties. The demise of the club marked the beginning of the NHL's Original Six era from 1942 to 1967, though the Amerks' franchise was not formally canceled until 1946. The team's overall regular season record was 255–402–127.
Film cement
Film cement is a special glue designed to join motion picture film. It is made of film base dissolved in a solvent. Two cut sections of film are spliced together in a film splicer using film cement.

Splices can be made either with a "hot" splicer, or the splicer unplugged and at room temperature. It is most important that the emulsion of the film be scraped off prior to applying the cement or the splice will fail.

Film cement also has a workable life span, if the amount of solvent falls below a certain level the splices will fail. Cement life can be extended by the careful addition of its solvent, usually methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) or acetone.

Film cement can only be used with acetate, triacetate and nitrate films. Film cement cannot be used with polyester based film.

Cellulose triacetate
Cellulose triacetate, triacetate, CTA or TAC is a chemical compound produced from cellulose and a source of acetate esters, typically acetic anhydride.  Triacetate is commonly used for the creation of fibres and film base. It is chemically similar to cellulose acetate. Its distinguishing characteristic is that in triacetate, at least "92 percent of the hydroxyl groups are acetylated." During the manufacture of triacetate, the cellulose is completely acetylated; whereas in normal cellulose acetate or cellulose diacetate, it is only partially acetylated.  Triacetate is significantly more heat resistant than cellulose acetate.

Spurius Furius Fusus
Spurius Furius Fusus (fl. c. 481–478 BC) was a Roman statesman from the early Republic, who served as consul in 481 BC alongside Caeso Fabius Vibulanus. During their term of office, the consuls campaigned against the Aequi and Veientes. Sources disagree on which consul fought which enemy: Livy says Furius had charge of the Veientes, but Dionysius of Halicarnassus puts him against the Aequi.

According to Dionysius, one "Servius Furius", generally identified as Spurius Furius, won a victory in 478 BC against the Aequi, but this event is not reported by Livy, and Münzer considers the notice to be of no historical value.

Dionysius of Halicarnassus
Dionysius of Halicarnassus (Ancient Greek: Διονύσιος Ἀλεξάνδρου Ἁλικαρνασσεύς, 
Dionýsios Alexándrou Halikarnasseús, ''Dionysios (son of Alexandros) of Halikarnassos''; c.  60 BC – after 7 BC) was a Greek historian and teacher of rhetoric, who flourished during the reign of Emperor Augustus. His literary style was atticistic – imitating Classical Attic Greek in its prime.

He is known for his work Rhōmaikē Archaiologia (Roman Antiquities), which describes the history of Rome from its beginnings until the outbreak of the First Punic War in 264 BC. Out of twenty books, only the first nine have survived. Dionysius's opinion of the necessity of a promotion of paideia within education, from true knowledge of classical sources, endured for centuries in a form integral to the identity of the Greek elite.
HMS Ulster
Two ships of the Royal Navy have borne the name HMS Ulster, after Ulster, one of the four provinces of Ireland:

HMS Ulster (1917) was a modified R-class destroyer launched in 1917 and sold in 1928.

HMS Ulster (R83) was a U-class destroyer launched in 1942. She was converted into a Type 15 fast anti-submarine frigate between 1954 and 1956, and was sold in 1980.

HMS Ulster (R83)
HMS Ulster was a U-class destroyer of the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom that saw service during World War II. She was later converted into a Type 15 fast anti-submarine frigate, with the new pennant number F83. Ulster was the second vessel in Royal Navy history to have that name.

With funds gathered through a Naval Savings Campaign in 1942 known as Warship Week, the ship was adopted by the civil community of Ulster's County Down.
1958 Leeds City Council election
The 1958 Leeds municipal elections were held on Thursday 10 April 1958, with one third of the seats and a double vacancy in Bramley to be elected.

Labour achieved a further swing of 0.3%, to take two more seats from the Conservatives. The two gains were in Westfield - where the incumbents 7.5% swing was not enough to hold on - and Wortley, with Labour narrowly gaining on a 78-vote majority as the main beneficiaries of the Liberal absence this time around. As well as those two gains, Labour gained one in the new aldermen division, increasing their majority on the council to 34. A notable feat of the election was the Liberals managing to push the Conservatives into third in the two wards of Holbeck and Middleton - a post-war first. Turnout rose by a percentage point on the previous year, to 37.2%.

Bramley, Leeds
Bramley is a  district in west Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It is part of the City of Leeds electoral ward of Bramley and Stanningley, which had a population of 21,334 at the 2011 census.

1916 South American Championship
The 1916 South American Championship (Spanish: 1916 Campeonato Sudamericano) was the first continental championship for national association football teams in South America. It was held in Buenos Aires, Argentina from 2 to 17 July during Argentina's Independence Centenary commemorations.

Emil Heitz
Emil Heitz (born 19 October 1892 in Strasbourg, then part of the German Empire - died 8 July 1965 in Lugano, Switzerland) was a German-Swiss botanist and geneticist.

In 1928, Heitz detected differences along chromosomes that correlated with linear arrangement of genes, suggesting the terms euchromatin and heterochromatin for differences detectable by suitable chromosomal stains. His subsequent studies developed what he called cytological genetics, laying the ground for what is now termed cytogenetics.

In November 1933 Heitz was a signatory of the Vow of allegiance of the Professors of the German Universities and High-Schools to Adolf Hitler and the National Socialistic State.

In 1955, Heitz was the first winner of the Schleiden Medal.

Cytogenetics
Cytogenetics is essentially a branch of genetics, but is also a part of cell biology/cytology (a subdivision of human anatomy), that is concerned with how the chromosomes relate to cell behaviour, particularly to their behaviour during mitosis and meiosis. Techniques used include karyotyping, analysis of G-banded chromosomes, other cytogenetic banding techniques, as well as molecular cytogenetics such as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH).
