The Alaska Challenge
The Alaska Challenge is a wheelchair and handcycle race organized by Challenge Alaska that runs between Fairbanks and Anchorage, Alaska. It is the world's longest wheelchair race.

The race was originally known as the Midnight Sun Ultra Challenge and started in 1984 when founder Don Brandon and his friend Tom Carnhan raced wheelchairs from Fairbanks to Anchorage. Brandon had wanted to honor his two brothers who had intellectual disabilities and show what people with disabilities could accomplish. The race was later named Sadler's Ultra Challenge and then Sadler's Alaska Challenge after one of its sponsors, Sadler's Home Furnishings from 1996–2014.

Divisions include Men's Handcycle (with A, B, and C classes), Men's Wheelchair, and Women's Handcycle. The 267-mile-long (430 km) race is run in eight stages and takes six days to complete. The annual competition occurs in July of each year.

There was a virtual race in 2020.

Plectorhinchus flavomaculatus
Plectorhinchus flavomaculatus is a species of ray-finned fish in the Haemulidae family. It has many common names, including lemonfish, goldspotted sweetlips, lemon sweetlips, and yellowspotted thicklip.

The International Union for Conservation of Nature named this species as being of "least concern" in terms of conservation efforts.

Haemulidae
Haemulidae is a family of fishes in the order Acanthuriformes known commonly as grunts. It is made up of the two subfamilies Haemulinae (grunts) and Plectorhynchinae (sweetlips), which contain about 133 species in 19 genera around the world. These fishes are commonly found in tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate regions, inhabiting marine, brackish, and sometimes fresh waters.

The family shows many feeding adaptations from bottom-feeding predation to water-column planktivory and is named for the ability of Haemulinae to produce sounds by grinding their pharyngeal teeth. Some species engage in mutualistic relationships with cleaner gobies of the genus Elacatinus, allowing them to feed on ectoparasites on their bodies.
Claire Eccles
Claire Eccles (born October 25, 1997) is a Canadian baseball player. She is a left-handed pitcher who throws three pitches, including a knuckleball. She has been a member of the women's national baseball team of Canada, and has competed in the 2014 and 2016 Women's Baseball World Cups as well as the 2015 Pan American Games. In 2017, she joined the Victoria HarbourCats of the West Coast League and became the first woman to play in that league. She was also a member of the softball team at the University of British Columbia.

Knuckleball
A knuckleball or knuckler is a baseball pitch thrown to minimize the spin of the ball in flight, causing an erratic, unpredictable motion. The air flow over a seam of the ball causes the ball to change from laminar to turbulent flow. This change adds a deflecting force to the baseball, making it difficult for batters to hit but also difficult for pitchers to control and catchers to catch. Umpires are challenged as well, as the ball's irregular motion through the air makes it harder to call balls and strikes. A pitcher who throws knuckleballs is known as a knuckleballer.
Jean-Luc Brylinski
Jean-Luc Brylinski (born in 1951) is a French-American mathematician. Educated at the Lycée Pasteur and the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, after an appointment as researcher with the C. N. R. S., he became a Professor of Mathematics at Pennsylvania State University. He proved the Kazhdan–Lusztig conjectures with Masaki Kashiwara. He has also worked on gerbes, cyclic homology, Quillen bundles, and geometric class field theory, among other geometric and algebraic topics.

Brylinski is currently residing in Boston, where he is a CTO and co-CEO of Brylinski Research, together with his wife Ranee Brylinski.

Geometric class field theory
In mathematics, geometric class field theory is an extension of class field theory to higher-dimensional geometrical objects: much the same way as class field theory describes the abelianization of the Galois group of a local or global field, geometric class field theory describes the abelianized fundamental group of higher dimensional schemes in terms of data related to algebraic cycles.

Briggs was highly regarded by his superiors, among them being Field Marshal Sir William Slim, who is perhaps most famous as being the commander of the British Fourteenth Army during the Burma campaign. Of Briggs, who commanded the 5th Indian Infantry Division during the campaign, Slim wrote: "I know of few commanders who made as many immediate and critical decisions on every step of the ladder of promotion, and I know of none who made so few mistakes".

Lieutenant-general (United Kingdom)
Lieutenant general (Lt Gen), formerly more commonly lieutenant-general, is a senior rank in the British Army and the Royal Marines. It is the equivalent of a multinational three-star rank; some British lieutenant generals sometimes wear three-star insignia, in addition to their standard insignia, when on multinational operations.

Lieutenant general is a superior rank to major general, but subordinate to a (full) general. The rank has a NATO rank code of OF-8, equivalent to a vice-admiral in the Royal Navy and an air marshal in the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the air forces of many Commonwealth countries.

The rank insignia for both the Army and the Royal Marines is a crown over a crossed sabre and baton. During the reign of Elizabeth II, the St Edward's Crown, commonly known as the Queen's Crown, was depicted. Before 1953, and again since the accession of Charles III in 2022, the Tudor Crown has been used.
