Veterans Memorial Parkway
The Veterans Memorial Parkway (VMP, known as "Veterans" by locals) is a 13.4-kilometre (8.3 mi) limited-access and municipally maintained parkway located entirely within London, Ontario. The parkway was previously the provincial King's Highway 100 from 1977 until 1993, and was formerly named Airport Road from 1977 to September 2006. It begins in the south at Wilton Grove Road and ends at Clarke Road, which it continues as northward.

Airport Road was built by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, predecessor to the modern Ministry of Transportation (MTO) in the late 1970s to connect Highway 401 with London International Airport. It was widened to four lanes in 2005 and renamed as the Veterans Memorial Parkway in 2006. Extensions south and north were completed in 2017 and 2020, respectively. Long term plans for the route call for grade separated interchanges along its entire length to convert it to a freeway.

Ministry of Transportation (Ontario)
The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) is a provincial ministry of the Government of Ontario responsible for the planning, management and maintenance of transportation infrastructure in the Canadian province of Ontario. The MTO is headquartered in Toronto.

Founded in 1916 as the Department of Public Highways of Ontario, the MTO oversees the province's 16,900 km (10,500 mi) network of highways. This includes the 400-series highways, with the section of Highway 401 that passes through Toronto being the busiest in North America. Metrolinx, a crown agency that oversees GO Transit and the Presto fare card system, reports to the MTO. The ministry is also responsible for vehicle registration and issuing drivers licences.
Vizier (Fatimid Caliphate)
The vizier (Arabic: وزير, romanized: wazīr) was the senior minister of the Fatimid Caliphate for most of the Egyptian period of its existence. Originally it was held by civilian officials who acted as the chief civilian ministers of the caliphs, analogous to the original model established by the Abbasids. When a vizier was not appointed, an "intermediary" (wāsiṭa) was designated instead. The enfeeblement of the caliph's power and the crisis of the Fatimid regime under Caliph al-Mustansir, however, led to the rise of military strongmen, who dominated the post from the 1070s until the caliphate's end. These "viziers of the sword" were also commanders-in-chief of the army who effectively sidelined the caliphs and ruled in their stead, often seizing power from their predecessors. The last vizier, Saladin, abolished the Fatimid Caliphate in 1171 (see Saladin in Egypt).

Wolfhart Heinrichs

He taught Classical Arabic language and literature, particularly Arabic literary theory and criticism.

Black Forest
The Black Forest (German: Schwarzwald [ˈʃvaʁtsvalt] ⓘ) is a large forested mountain range in the state of Baden-Württemberg in southwest Germany, bounded by the Rhine Valley to the west and south and close to the borders with France and Switzerland.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw is a 2025 animated comedy film based on the 2009 book of the same name by Jeff Kinney. It is the eighth installment in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid film series, the fourth animated film in the series, and a direct sequel to Diary of a Wimpy Kid Christmas: Cabin Fever (2023). It is also the second adaptation of The Last Straw, after elements of the book were previously adapted into the 2012 live-action film Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days.

The film was announced in July 2025 alongside its sequel The Getaway (2026), and was released on Disney+ on December 5, 2025. It received generally mixed reviews from critics.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Getaway
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Getaway is the twelfth book in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series by Jeff Kinney. The book was unveiled during the 2017 Diary of a Wimpy Kid Virtually Live Event which was live streamed via YouTube as part of the 10th anniversary of the first book. The book was published and released on November 7, 2017. The book is about Greg and his family flying to a resort called Isla de Corales for Christmas. The Heffleys went there because that was the place where Greg's mom and dad went for their honeymoon. An animated film based on the book is in the works for Disney+.
Empidinae
Empidinae, also called dance flies, are a subfamily of empidoid flies. They belong to the Eremoneura, a lineage of flies whose larvae pass through three stages. The name “dance flies” comes from their mating swarms, formed by males or, in some species, by females; in many cases males present captured prey to females during these gatherings.They are mainly predatory flies like most of their relatives, and generally small to medium-sized. Most species are flower visitors and they can be effective pollinators.

Empidoidea
The Empidoidea are a large monophyletic superfamily of true flies, the sister taxon to the Muscomorpha (Cyclorrhapha). These two groups are sometimes united in the unranked taxon Eremoneura. There are some 10,000 known species within Empidoidea, which are represented on all continents except Antarctica. They are known to have existed since the Jurassic period.

Empidoidea has been subject to much debate regarding its phylogeny. Based on morphology alone, three major hypotheses had been proposed until 2007 and seemed to be consensus for some time—however, in 2018, Wahlberg & Johanson published the most current phylogeny supported by extensive genetic data, changing the relationship between quite a few families and tribes.
Belimbing, West Sumatra
Belimbing (sometimes called Balimbiang) is a small village in the Minangkabau Highlands of West Sumatra, Indonesia. It is famous for its outstanding collection of vernacular architecture, including what is thought to be the oldest surviving example of a rumah gadang tuo, the traditional house of the Minangkabau people. The town is located on a back road between the market town of Batu Sangkar and Lake Singkarak.

Lake Singkarak
Lake Singkarak (Indonesian: Danau Singkarak) is a lake in West Sumatra, Indonesia. It is located between the regencies of Tanah Datar and Solok Regency. It has an area of 107.8 km2, being approximately 21 km long and 7 km wide. The natural outlet for excess water is the Ombilin River which flows eastward to the Strait of Malacca. A hydroelectric project, however, has diverted most of the lake outflow to the Anai River which flows westward into the Indian Ocean near Padang. This Singkarak power station uses this water to generate power for the West Sumatra and Riau provinces. A species of fish called ikan bilih (Mystacoleucus padangensis) is endemic to the lake and is harvested for human consumption. A railway line, which connects Padang and  Sawahlunto-Sijunjung, skirts the length of the lake on the eastern side.
Girl Talk (board game)
Girl Talk, a board game invented by Catherine Rondeau in 1988, became a popular game for teenage girls throughout the 1990s.
