Projectionless C*-algebra
In mathematics, a  projectionless C*-algebra is a C*-algebra with no nontrivial projections. For a unital C*-algebra, the projections 0 and 1 are trivial. While for a non-unital C*-algebra, only 0 is considered trivial. The problem of whether simple infinite-dimensional C*-algebras with this property exist was posed in 1958 by Irving Kaplansky, and the first example of one was published in 1981 by Bruce Blackadar. For commutative C*-algebras, being projectionless is equivalent to its spectrum being connected. Due to this, being projectionless can be considered as a noncommutative analogue of a connected space.

Connected space
In topology and related branches of mathematics, a connected space is a topological space that cannot be represented as the union of two or more disjoint non-empty open subsets. Connectedness is one of the principal topological properties that distinguish topological spaces.

A subset of a topological space  is a connected set if it is a connected space when viewed as a subspace of .

Some related but stronger conditions are path connected, simply connected, and -connected. Another related notion is locally connected, which neither implies nor follows from connectedness.

Dekanawida (YTB-334)
The first Dekanawida (YT-334/YTB-334) was a tug in the United States Navy during World War II.

The ship was built and delivered in 1904 by Neafie & Levy Ship & Engine Building Co., Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for the U.S. Army as the Mine planter  USAMP Colonel George Armistead. Armistead was sold by the U.S. Army Mine Planter Service in 1935 to Foss Towing and Barge Co., Portland, Oregon which renamed the ship Mary Foss. Mary Foss was acquired by the U.S. Navy 2 November 1942 and placed in service as Dekanawida. She was employed in the 14th Naval District, and on 15 May 1944 was reclassified YTB-334. Dekanawida was stricken from the Navy List on 8 May 1946,  delivered to the Maritime Commission for disposal, reacquired by Foss Maritime and renamed as the Agnes Foss. After sale in 1972 to a buyer in the Philippines the ship was operated as Celtic.

Sikannisuchus
Sikannisuchus is an extinct genus of large archosaur from upper Triassic (Norian stage) deposits of northeastern British Columbia, Canada. It is known from the holotype, TMP 94.382.3, a posterior portion of skull roof and from other fragmentary remains. It was found from four localities of the Pardonet Formation, near the community of Sikanni Chief. It was first named by Elizabeth L. Nicholls, Donald B. Brinkman, and Xiao-Chun Wu in 1998 and the type species is Sikannisuchus huskyi. It would have reached about 4 metres (13 ft) in length. Ichthyosaurs such as Macgowania, Callawayia and possibly the giant shastasaurid Shonisaurus, coelacanths Whiteia banffensis and possibly Garnbergia, and various genera of molluscs including ammonites and bivalves have also been found in the Pardonet Formation.

Shastasauridae
Shastasauridae is an extinct family of ichthyosaurs from the Late Triassic with a possible Early Jurassic record. The family contains the largest known species of ichthyosaurs, which include some of and possibly the largest known marine reptiles.
CSS framework
A CSS framework is a library allowing for easier, more standards-compliant web design using the Cascading Style Sheets language. Most of these frameworks contain at least a grid. More functional frameworks also come with more features and additional JavaScript based functions, but are mostly design oriented and focused around interactive UI patterns. This detail differentiates CSS frameworks from other JavaScript frameworks.

Two notable and widely used examples are Bootstrap and Foundation.

Modules and tools offered by CSS frameworks include:

reset style sheet

grid, especially for responsive web design

web typography

set of icons in sprites or icon fonts

styling for tooltips, buttons, elements of forms

parts of graphical user interfaces such as accordion, tabs, slideshow or modal windows (Lightbox)

equalizer to create equal height content

often-used CSS helper classes (left, hide)

Bigger frameworks use a CSS interpreter such as Less or Sass.

Less (style sheet language)
Less (Leaner Style Sheets; sometimes stylized as LESS) is a dynamic preprocessor style sheet language that can be compiled into Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and run on the client side or server side.
Designed by Alexis Sellier, Less is influenced by Sass and has influenced the newer "SCSS" syntax of Sass, which adapted its CSS-like block formatting syntax. Less is an open source project. Its first version was written in Ruby; however, in the later versions, use of Ruby has been deprecated and replaced by JavaScript. The indented syntax of Less is a nested metalanguage, as valid CSS is valid Less code with the same semantics. Less provides the following mechanisms: variables, nesting, mixins, operators and functions; the main difference between Less and other CSS precompilers is that Less allows real-time compilation via less.js by the browser.
Brandon-on-the-Dan
Brandon-on-the-Dan is a historic estate at 1072 Calvary Road (Virginia State Route 119), overlooking the Dan River in rural southwestern Halifax County, Virginia.  The estate includes an early log house, and a c. 1855 Greek Revival wood-frame main house that received an extensive Craftsman-style alteration in 1915 by North Carolina African American master craftsman Thomas Day.  The 200-acre (81 ha) property also includes a large African American cemetery, and a log tobacco barn; the latter is distinctive as an example of modern log construction.

The name Brandon-on-the-Dan was applied in relatively recent times, to avoid confusion with Brandon Plantation, which was owned by another branch of the same family. Brandon-on-the-Dan was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017. It is also on the Virginia Department of Historic Resources list of historic African American sites in Virginia.

Pulpurru Davies
Pulpurru Davies (born early 1940s) is an Aboriginal artist from central Australia. Most of her early life was spent living nomadically in the desert, until she and her family were settled at Warburton in the late 1960s. Part of her life in the bush was featured in the documentary People of the Australian Western Desert (1966). She has since become one of the earliest and most successful Ngaanyatjarra artists.

Central Australia
Central Australia, also sometimes referred to as the Red Centre, is an inexactly defined region associated with the geographic centre of Australia. In its narrowest sense it describes a region that is limited to the town of Alice Springs and its immediate surrounds including the MacDonnell Ranges. Commonly, it refers to an area up to 600 km (370 mi) from Alice Springs, in every direction. In its broadest use it can include almost any region in inland Australia that has remained relatively undeveloped, and in this sense is synonymous with the term Outback.

In a modern, more formal sense it can refer to the administrative region used by the Northern Territory government, as of 2022.

Centralia is another term associated with the area, most commonly used by locals.

A prominent female artist in the male-dominated post-war period, she is remembered as a co-founder of the Vienna Art Club in 1947 and as a professor of ceramics at the University of Applied Arts Vienna (1978–92). In the 1950s, she was successful in receiving a number of commissions from the city of Vienna for art works and memorials in public spaces. Inspired by the folk culture of southern and eastern Europe,  her works were exhibited at the Venice and São Paulo biennials.

Textile arts
Textile arts are arts and crafts that use plant, animal, or synthetic fibers to construct practical or decorative objects.

Textiles have been a fundamental part of human life since the beginning of civilization. The methods and materials used to make them have expanded enormously, while the functions of textiles have remained the same, there are many functions for textiles. Whether it be clothing or something decorative for the house/shelter. The history of textile arts is also the history of international trade.  Tyrian purple dye was an important trade good in the ancient Mediterranean. The Silk Road brought Chinese silk to India, Africa, and Europe, and, conversely, Sogdian silk to China. Tastes for imported luxury fabrics led to sumptuary laws during the Middle Ages and Renaissance.  The Industrial Revolution was shaped largely by innovation in textiles technology: the cotton gin, the spinning jenny, and the power loom mechanized production and led to the Luddite rebellion.
Daft (album)
Daft is a compilation collecting the Art of Noise LP Who's Afraid of the Art of Noise? (with one track, "Snapshot", appearing in a longer version than on the original UK LP, but previously released on the Japanese version), along with portions of the Into Battle with the Art of Noise EP and "Moments in Love" remix single. It gives a fairly thorough overview of the Trevor Horn period of the group, prior to its split from the ZTT label. The compilation is also notable for its liner notes by Paul Morley (under the pseudonym Otto Flake), attacking the new incarnation of the group.
In 2003 the album was re-released on Super Audio CD.

Art of Noise
Art of Noise (also the Art of Noise) were a British avant-garde and electronic group formed in early 1983 by engineer/producer Gary Langan and programmer J. J. Jeczalik, along with keyboardist/arranger Anne Dudley, producer Trevor Horn, and music journalist Paul Morley. The group had international Top 20 hits with its interpretations of "Kiss", featuring Tom Jones, and the instrumental "Peter Gunn", which won a 1986 Grammy Award.

The group's mostly instrumental compositions were novel melodic sound collages based on digital sampler technology, which was new at the time. Inspired by turn-of-the-20th-century revolutions in music, the Art of Noise were initially packaged as a faceless anti- or non-group, blurring the distinction between the art and its creators. The band is noted for innovative use of electronics and computers in pop music, particularly its innovative use of sampling.
Diminished rhombicosidodecahedron
In geometry, the diminished rhombicosidodecahedron is one of the Johnson solids (J76). It can be constructed as a rhombicosidodecahedron with one pentagonal cupola removed.

A Johnson solid is one of 92 strictly convex polyhedra that are composed of regular polygon faces but are not uniform polyhedra (that is, they are not Platonic solids, Archimedean solids, prisms, or antiprisms). They were named by Norman Johnson, who first listed these polyhedra in 1966.

Related Johnson solids are:

J80: parabidiminished rhombicosidodecahedron with two opposing cupolae removed, and

J81: metabidiminished rhombicosidodecahedron with two non-opposing cupolae removed, and

J83: tridiminished rhombicosidodecahedron with three cupola removed.

Archimedean solid
The Archimedean solids are a set of thirteen convex polyhedra whose faces are regular polygons and are vertex-transitive, although they are not face-transitive. The solids were named after Archimedes, although he did not claim credit for them. They belong to the class of uniform polyhedra, the polyhedra with regular faces and symmetric vertices. Some Archimedean solids were portrayed in the works of artists and mathematicians during the Renaissance.

The elongated square gyrobicupola or pseudo­rhombi­cub­octa­hedron is an extra polyhedron with regular faces and congruent vertices. Still, it is not generally counted as an Archimedean solid because it is not vertex-transitive.
Spud Owen
Harold Pryor "Spud" Owen (March 10, 1905 – February 8, 1981) was an American football, basketball, and baseball player and coach.  He served as the head football coach at Culver–Stockton College in Canton, Missouri from 1948 to 1951, Eureka College in Eureka, Illinois from 1952 to 1955, and Elmhurst College in Elmhurst, Illinois from 1956 to 1958, compiling a career college football coaching record of 21–60–5.  Owen was also the athletic director at Eureka from 1952 to 1956 and coached golf at Elmhurst.

A native of Orrick, Missouri, Owen attended William Jewell College in Liberty, Missouri, where he played football, basketball, and baseball.  He as an all-Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) selection as a halfback in football and all-state at guard in basketball.  Owen played Minor League Baseball for several teams in the Nebraska State League and was a player and manager for the North Platte Buffalos in 1932.

North Platte Indians
The North Platte Indians were a minor league baseball team based in North Platte, Nebraska. The Indians played as members of the Class D level Nebraska State League from 1956 to 1959, winning the 1958 league championship. The North Platte Indians were a minor league affiliate of the Cleveland Indians.

The Indians were preceded in minor league play by the North Platte Buffalos who played from 1928 to 1932, also playing as members of the Class D level Nebraska State League.

He also was a president of the Canadian Society of Biblical Studies and Pastor of United Presbyterian Church in the United States of America.

United Presbyterian Church in the United States of America
The United Presbyterian Church in the United States of America (UPCUSA) was the largest branch of Presbyterianism in the United States from May 28, 1958, to 1983. It was formed by the union of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America (PCUSA), often referred to as the "Northern" Presbyterian Church, with the United Presbyterian Church of North America (UPCNA), a smaller church of Covenanter-Seceder tradition at a conference in downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in May 1958. Vigorous ecumenical activity on the part of PCUSA leaders led to this merger, something of a reunion of two long-separated branches of the larger Presbyterian family deriving from the British Isles.
