Obliquity (book)
Obliquity: Why our goals are best achieved indirectly is a book by economist John Kay. It was inspired by an observation of the successful pharmaceutical researcher, Sir James Black:

I used to tell my colleagues that if they wanted to make money, there were many easier ways to do it than drug research. How wrong could I have been! In business as in science, it seems that you are often most successful in achieving something when you are trying to do something else. I think of it as the principle of ‘obliquity’.

The theme of the book is that businesses and other enterprises are best run by enthusiasts who pursue excellence in their speciality. Financial success then follows from this. But, if financial goals are instead made the primary objective, the business will then lose its vigour and may fail.

Goal
A goal or objective is an idea of the future or desired result that a person or a group of people envision, plan, and commit to achieve. People endeavour to reach goals within a finite time by setting deadlines.

A goal is roughly similar to a purpose or aim, the anticipated result which guides reaction, or an end, which is an object, either a physical object or an abstract object, that has intrinsic value.

A50 road (Northern Ireland)
The A50 is a road in counties Armagh and Down in Northern Ireland. It starts in the town of Portadown and continues through Gilford, Lawrencetown, Banbridge, Katebridge, Moneyslane, Ballyward and Castlewellan, before arriving in the seaside town of Newcastle on the Irish Sea, located at the foot of Slieve Donard.

The road has a graded junction with the main Dublin-Belfast A1 dual carriageway to the southeast of Banbridge. The section between Portadown and Katesbridge vaguely follows the course of the River Bann from its source in the Mourne Mountains, against the current.

Banbridge
Banbridge (/bænˈbrɪdʒ/ ban-BRIJ) is a town in County Down, Northern Ireland. It lies on the River Bann and the A1 road and is named after a bridge built over the Bann in 1712. It is in the civil parish of Seapatrick and the historic barony of Iveagh Upper, Upper Half. The town began as a coaching stop on the road from Belfast to Dublin and thrived from Irish linen manufacturing. The town was home to the headquarters of the former Banbridge District Council. Following a reform of local government in Northern Ireland in 2015, Banbridge became part of Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council. It had a population of 17,400 in the 2021 census.

The town's main street is very unusual, rising to a steep hill before levelling out. In 1834 an underpass was built as horses with heavy loads would faint before reaching the top of the hill. It was built by William Dargan and is officially named 'Downshire Bridge', though it is often called "The Cut".

Leland Stanford Morgan
Leland Stanford Morgan (aka Le Morgan; 9 June 1886 San Francisco – 12 August 1981 Oakland, California) was an American commercial artist. He began in 1910 in San Francisco and eventually moved across the bay to Oakland where he remained for the rest of his life.  Morgan is known for his illustrations of sheet music covers by publishers mostly in the San Francisco Bay area.

Hat cord
A hatcord or hat cord is a circular cord around a hat at the junction of the crown and the brim. It originally served to stabilize and hold the hat on the head and to prevent the hat material separating. A hat band fulfils a similar function. Hatcords sometimes come in imaginative fashion-oriented designs.

In the Middle Ages, the hat cord was also used as a unit of measurement to control the thickness of water pipes. In order to save water, the water pipe was not allowed to be thicker than a hatcord. According to Duden, it is questionable that the German saying: Das geht (mir) über die Hutschnur ("That exceeds the hatcord [as far as I'm concerned]") meant das übersteigt das Maß des Erlaubten ("that exceed the permitted amount").
Alexander Browne
Captain Alexander Crawford Browne (died 11 December 1942) was an Ulster Unionist Party politician.

Crawford Browne attended Methodist College Belfast from 1873 to 1880. He served in the 36th (Ulster) Division from 1914 to 1919 and became a Captain in 1917. In 1924 he was elected as a Belfast City Councillor before becoming a councillor for Princeton Ward in Bangor in 1927. He was elected at the 1931 general election as Member of Parliament (MP) for Belfast West, and held the seat until his death.

In 1935, he married Dorothy Dawson. Dorothy was from a family of eight who also attended Methodist College Belfast.

His death triggered a by-election in February 1943, when the formerly safe Unionist seat was won by the Northern Ireland Labour Party candidate Jack Beattie.

Safe seat
A safe seat is an electoral district which is regarded as fully secure, for either a certain political party, or the incumbent representative personally or a combination of both. With such seats, there is very little chance of a seat changing hands because of the political leanings of the electorate in the constituency concerned or the popularity of the incumbent member. This contrasts with a marginal seat in which a defeat for the seat holder is considered possible. In systems where candidates must first win the party's primary election or preselection, the phrase "tantamount to election" is often used to describe winning the dominant party's nomination for a safe seat.
