Xiuguluan River
23°28′40″N 121°30′08″E﻿ / ﻿23.4778°N 121.5022°E﻿ / 23.4778; 121.5022

The Xiuguluan River (Chinese: 秀姑巒溪; Hanyu Pinyin: Xiùgūluán Xī; Tongyong Pinyin: Siòuguluán Si; Wade–Giles: Hsiu4-ku1-luan2 Hsi1; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Siù-ko͘-lôan-khoe) is the seventh-longest river in Taiwan with a total length of 104 km (65 mi). It is located in the southeastern part of the island. It flows through the Huadong Valley  before emptying into the Pacific Ocean in Fengbin, Hualien.

Tongyong Pinyin
Tongyong Pinyin was the official romanization of Mandarin in Taiwan between 2002 and 2008. The system was unofficially used between 2000 and 2002, while a new romanization system for Taiwan was being evaluated for adoption. Taiwan's Ministry of Education approved the system in 2002, but its use was optional.

From 1 January 2009, the Ministry of Education began promoting Hanyu Pinyin. Local governments were not able to get financial aid from the central government if they used Tongyong Pinyin-derived romanizations. However, Tongyong Pinyin has continued in use for the transliteration of some place names and personal names in Taiwan (Republic of China). Some of the romanized names of the districts, subway stations and streets in Kaohsiung, Tainan, Taichung, Yunlin County and other places are derived from Tongyong Pinyin –  for example, Cijin District (旗津區, Cíjin Cyu).
The Art Institute of Cincinnati
The Art Institute of Cincinnati, also known as AIC College of Design, was a private for-profit art school in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools & Colleges of Technology (ACCSCT).   It was founded as the ACA or the Academy of Creative Arts, and it offered an associate degree of Graphic Design and a three-year bachelor's degree of Graphic Design. The institution closed in 2019.

Art school
An art school is an educational institution with a primary focus on practice and related theory in the visual arts and design. This includes fine art – especially illustration, painting, contemporary art, sculpture, and graphic design.   They may be independent or operate within a larger institution, such as a university. Some may be associated with an art museum.

Art schools may be organized to offer elementary, secondary, post-secondary, undergraduate, or graduate programs, and can also offer a broad-based range of programs (such as the liberal arts and sciences). In the West there have been six major periods of art school curricula, and each one has had its own hand in developing modern institutions worldwide throughout all levels of education. Art schools also teach a variety of non-academic skills to many students.

March 75A
The March 75A was an open-wheel formula racing car, designed, developed and built by British manufacturer and constructor, March Engineering, for Formula 5000 racing, in 1975. It was based on the March 761 Formula One car. Unlike most other F5000 cars of the time, which used 5.0 L (310 cu in) V8 engines, the 75A used a smaller 3.4 L (210 cu in) Ford-Cosworth GAA V6 engine (which was still allowed; and permitted with F5000 regulations), which produced between 420–470 hp (310–350 kW) @ 9,000 rpm, depending on tuning and spec. Engines up to 5,000 cc (310 cu in) could be used, so this was still perfectly in line with the regulations.

Open-wheel car
An open-wheel car is a car with the wheels outside the car's main body, and usually having only one seat. Open-wheel cars contrast with street cars, sports cars, stock cars, and touring cars, which have their wheels below the body or inside fenders. Open-wheel cars are built both for road racing and oval track racing. Open-wheel cars licensed for use on public roads (street legal), such as the Ariel Atom, are uncommon, as they are often impractical for everyday use.

Roland de Mecquenem (archaeologist)
Roland de Mecquenem (20 August 1877 – 1957) was a French archaeologist who took part in the excavations of Susa in Iran.
He was a graduate of the École des Mines.

From 1913 to 1946 he was the director of excavations of the Mission Archéologique de Susiane at Susa. In 1935 he discovered the ancient Elamite complex at Chogha Zanbil. In Persia he excavated numerous artifacts, many of which were sent to the Louvre in Paris.

Elamite language
Elamite, also known as Hatamtite and formerly as Scythic, Median, Amardian, Anshanian and Susian, is an extinct language that was spoken by the ancient Elamites. It was recorded in what is now southwestern Iran from 2600 BC to 330 BC.  Elamite is generally thought to have no demonstrable relatives and is usually considered a language isolate. The lack of established relatives makes its interpretation difficult.

A sizeable number of Elamite lexemes are known from the Achaemenid royal inscriptions – trilingual inscriptions of the Achaemenid Empire, in which Elamite was written using Elamite cuneiform (circa 5th century BC), which is fully deciphered. An important dictionary of the Elamite language, the Elamisches Wörterbuch was published in 1987 by W. Hinz and H. Koch. The Linear Elamite script however, one of the scripts used to write the Elamite language c. 2000 BC, has remained elusive until the 2010s.

Honorary citizenship
Honorary citizenship is a status bestowed by a city or other government on a foreign or native individual whom it considers to be especially admirable or otherwise worthy of the distinction. The honor usually is symbolic and does not confer any change to citizenship or nationality.
Liquid drum and bass
Liquid drum and bass, liquid DnB, melodic drum & bass, liquid funk, or sometimes just liquid is a subgenre of drum and bass. While it uses similar basslines and bar layouts to other styles, it contains fewer bar-oriented samples and more instrumental layers (both synthesized and natural), harmonies, melodies and ambiance, producing a sentimental atmosphere directed at home listeners as well as nightclub and rave audiences. Music genres such as jazz, soul and sometimes blues have a pivotal influence on liquid drum and bass.

Bassline
Bassline (also known as a bass line or bass part) is the term used in many styles of music, such as blues, jazz, funk, dub and electronic, traditional, and classical music, for the low-pitched instrumental part or line played (in jazz and some forms of pop music) by a rhythm section instrument such as the electric bass, double bass, cello, tuba or keyboard (piano, Hammond organ, electric organ, or synthesizer).

In unaccompanied solo performance, basslines may simply be played in the lower register of any instrument while melody and/or further accompaniment is provided in the middle or upper register. In solo music for piano and pipe organ, these instruments have an excellent lower register that can be used to play a deep bassline. On organs, the bass line is typically played using the pedal keyboard and massive 16' and 32' bass pipes.
Greeks (finance)
In mathematical finance, the Greeks are the quantities (known in calculus as partial derivatives; first-order or higher) representing the sensitivity of the price of a derivative instrument such as an option to changes in one or more underlying parameters on which the value of an instrument or portfolio of financial instruments is dependent. The name is used because the most common of these sensitivities are denoted by Greek letters (as are some other finance measures). Collectively these have also been called the risk sensitivities, risk measures: 742  or hedge parameters.

Parameter
A parameter (from Ancient Greek  παρά (pará) 'beside, subsidiary' and  μέτρον (métron) 'measure'), generally, is any characteristic that can help in defining or classifying a particular system (meaning an event, project, object, situation, etc.). That is, a parameter is an element of a system that is useful, or critical, when identifying the system, or when evaluating its performance, status, condition, etc.

Parameter has more specific meanings within various disciplines, including mathematics, computer programming, engineering, statistics, logic, linguistics, and electronic musical composition.

In addition to its technical uses, there are also extended uses, especially in non-scientific contexts, where it is used to mean defining characteristics or boundaries, as in the phrases 'test parameters' or 'game play parameters'.

Act (Brazil)
Agir ([aˈʒiɾ], lit. 'Act') is a political party in Brazil, established in 1985. It was founded as the Youth Party (Portuguese: Partido da Juventude; PJ), and was renamed the National Reconstruction Party (Portuguese: Partido da Reconstrução Nacional, PRN) in 1989, and the Christian Labor Party (Portuguese: Partido Trabalhista Cristão, PTC) in 2000. The party was renamed Agir in 2021, a change ratified by the Superior Electoral Court the following year.

Members include the pea, the sweet pea, the laburnum, and other legumes. The pea-shaped flowers are characteristic of the Faboideae subfamily and root nodulation is very common. The papilionaceous species vary enormously in size from the tiny Lupinus uncialis only 2 cm in height to Pterocarpus mildbraedii subsp. usumbarensis at up to 75 m (246 ft) height.
Durra'ah
The durrāʿah was a ceremonial robe worn by the Abbasid court from the time of caliph al-Mansur (r. 754–775) until it was replaced by the shorter qabāʾ in the mid-9th century. It was black, the official colour of the Abbasid dynasty, and was closed in the front by buttons. Its use as court dress for civilian and military officials—but not religious, who wore the ṭaylasān instead—gave it great prestige.

Al-Mansur
Abū Jaʿfar ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad al-Manṣūr (/ælmænˈsʊər/; Arabic: أبو جعفر عبد الله بن محمد المنصور‎; 714 – 6 October 775) usually known simply as by his laqab al-Manṣūr (المنصور) was the second Abbasid caliph, reigning from 754 to 775 succeeding his brother al-Saffah (r. 750–754). He is known for founding the 'Round City' of Madinat al-Salam, which was to become the core of imperial Baghdad.

Modern historians regard al-Mansur as the real founder of the Abbasid Caliphate, one of the largest polities in world history, for his role in stabilizing and institutionalizing the dynasty.: 265
Paolo Panceri
Paolo Panceri (1833, in Milan – 1877, in Naples) was an Italian naturalist.
Panceri graduated in medicine at the University of Pavia where he began his research. In 1861 he took
the Chair of Comparative anatomy at the University of Naples, where he directed the Zoology Museum.
Panceri  was cautious about the scientific validity of evolutionary theories but was instrumental in the foundation of the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn (Dohrn was a Darwinian). His findings on the bioluminescence of marine invertebrates and  studies of Amphioxus led to fame in Italy and abroad. In 1874 he sold his books and scientific papers to Biblioteca Universitaria di Napoli to pay for an expedition to Egypt. They constitute an example of a nineteenth-century library specializing in the natural sciences and comparative anatomy.
His students in Naples include Carlo Emery, Leopoldo Maggi and Antonio della Valle. He died aged 44.

Zoological Museum of Naples
The Zoological Museum of Naples, located in Naples, south Italy, was founded by Gioacchino Murat in 1811. The first curator was Luigi Petagna. The founding collections were those of the Royal Bourbon Museum and the private collection of Giuseppe Saverio Poli.

Later curators were: Giosuè Sangiovanni, Achille Costa (from 1860), Francesco Saverio Monticelli (from 1900). the museum was badly damaged in the Second World War but with Mario Salfi as Curator, it was restored between 1948 and 1970.

Forvika
Forvik or Forvika is the administrative centre of Vevelstad Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. The village of Forvik sits on the coastline along the Vevelstadsundet strait, just north of Vevelstad Church. Forvik is the southern terminus of the Tjøtta-Forvika-Hamnøya ferry line which is part of the Norwegian County Road 17.

Strait
A strait is a water body connecting two seas or water basins. The surface water is, for the most part, at the same elevation on both sides and can flow through the strait in either direction, although the topography generally constricts the flow somewhat. In some straits, there is a dominant directional current. Most commonly, the strait is a narrow channel that lies between two land masses. Straits are loci for sediment accumulation, with sand-sized deposits usually occurring on the two strait exits, forming subaqueous fans or deltas. Some straits are not navigable because they are too narrow, too shallow, or due to the presence of a reef or archipelago.
