Snertingdal Municipality
Snertingdal is a former municipality in the old Oppland county, Norway. The 220-square-kilometre (85 sq mi) municipality existed from 1910 until its dissolution in 1964. The area is now part of Gjøvik Municipality in the traditional district of Vestoppland. The administrative centre was the village of Seegård. Other villages in the municipality included Ålset, Snertingdal, and Audenstad.

Prior to its dissolution in 1964, the 219.7-square-kilometre (84.8 sq mi) municipality was the 351st largest by area out of the 689 municipalities in Norway. Snertingdal Municipality was the 367th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of about 2,491. The municipality's population density was 11.3 inhabitants per square kilometre (29/sq mi) and its population had decreased by 3.9% over the previous 10-year period.

Districts of Norway
The country of Norway is historically divided into a number of districts. Many districts have deep historical roots, and only partially coincide with today's administrative units of counties and municipalities. The districts are defined by geographical features, often valleys, mountain ranges, fjords, plains, or coastlines, or combinations of the above. Many such regions were petty kingdoms up to the early Viking Age.
1909 Bulloo state by-election
The 1909 Bulloo state by-election was a by-election held on 27 March 1909 for the Queensland Legislative Assembly seat of Bulloo, based in the remote south western part of the state.

The by-election was triggered by the death of Ministerial member John Leahy on 20 January 1909. Leahy had held the seat since 1893, five years after its creation. He was a minister in the First Philp Ministry from 1901 until 1903, and at the time of his death was the Legislative Assembly.

The seat included the towns of Thargomindah, Birdsville, Eromanga, Eulo, Hungerford and Windorah.

2-ethylmalate synthase
In enzymology, a 2-ethylmalate synthase (EC 2.3.3.6) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

acetyl-CoA + H2O + 2-oxobutanoate  (R)-2-ethylmalate + CoA

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are acetyl-CoA, H2O, and 2-oxobutanoate, whereas its two products are (R)-2-ethylmalate and CoA.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases that convert acyl groups into alkyl groups on transfer.  The systematic name of this enzyme class is acetyl-CoA:2-oxobutanoate C-acetyltransferase (thioester-hydrolysing, carboxymethyl-forming). Other names in common use include (R)-2-ethylmalate 2-oxobutanoyl-lyase (CoA-acetylating), 2-ethylmalate-3-hydroxybutanedioate synthase, propylmalate synthase, and propylmalic synthase.  This enzyme participates in pyruvate metabolism.

Acyltransferase
Acyltransferase is a type of transferase enzyme that acts upon acyl groups.

Examples include:

Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferases

Glyceronephosphate O-acyltransferase

Lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase

Long-chain-alcohol O-fatty-acyltransferase

USS Taurus
USS Taurus is a name used more than once by the U.S. Navy, after the constellation Taurus:

USS Taurus (AF-25), originally SS San Benito, was a cargo ship which was acquired and commissioned by the Navy in 1942. She was struck in 1946.

USNS Taurus (T-AK-273) was laid down as Fort Snelling (LSD-23) in 1944. The unchristened hull changed hands twice before being completed in 1956 as the roll-on/roll-off ship SS Carib Queen. In 1958 the Maritime Administration took over the vessel. She was assigned to MSTS in 1959, and renamed Taurus. Never commissioned, Taurus went out of service in 1968. Her name was struck from the Naval Vessel Register in 1971.

USS Taurus (PHM-3) was a hydrofoil-type ship launched in 1981 and struck in 1993.

Roll-on/roll-off
Roll-on/roll-off (RORO or ro-ro) ships are cargo ships designed to carry wheeled cargo, such as cars, motorcycles, trucks, semi-trailer trucks, buses, trailers, and railroad cars, that are driven on and off the ship on their own wheels or using a platform vehicle, such as a self-propelled modular transporter. This is in contrast to lift-on/lift-off (LoLo) vessels, which use a crane to load and unload cargo.

RORO vessels have either built-in or shore-based ramps or ferry slips that allow the cargo to be efficiently rolled on and off the vessel when in port. While smaller ferries that operate across rivers and other short distances often have built-in ramps, the term RORO is generally reserved for large seagoing vessels. The ramps and doors may be located in the stern, bow, or sides, or any combination thereof.

Hoeffleur described their music as "influenced by old-school punk (Wire, Minutemen, Misfits) and old-school country (Hank, Lefty, Patsy, Johnny) with a dash of singer/songwriter (Leonard Cohen, Nick Drake)".

Alternative country
Alternative country (commonly abbreviated to alt-country; insurgent country, Americana, or y'allternative) is a loosely defined subgenre of country music that includes acts that differ significantly in style from mainstream country music, mainstream country rock, and country pop.

Prince's Cairn
The Prince's Cairn marks the traditional spot from where Prince Charles Edward Stuart embarked for France from Scotland on 20 September 1746 following the failure of the Jacobite rising of 1745. The cairn is located on the shores of Loch nan Uamh in Lochaber. It was erected in 1956 by the 1745 Association, a historical society dedicated to the study, recording and preservation of memories from the Jacobite period.

Although the cairn commemorates the final departure of the Prince before his exile to France, Loch nan Uamh is also where the Young Pretender first stepped ashore on mainland Great Britain on 25 July 1745 and from where – in April 1746 – he escaped to the Hebrides after the defeat of his forces at the Battle of Culloden.

BNS Prottasha
BNS Prottasha is a Type 056 stealth surface warfare guided missile corvette of the Bangladesh Navy. She was built at Wuchang Shipyard of China. She is the fourth corvette of the class for the Bangladesh Navy.

Stealth ship
A stealth ship is a ship that employs stealth technology construction techniques in an effort to make it harder to detect by one or more of radar, visual, sonar, and infrared methods.

These techniques borrow from stealth aircraft technology, although some aspects such as wake and acoustic signature reduction (acoustic quieting) are unique to stealth ships' design. Although radar cross-section (RCS) reduction is a fairly new concept, many other forms of masking a ship have existed for centuries or even millennia.
Chilean ship Almirante Williams
Almirante Williams is the name that has been given to several ships belonging to the Chilean Navy.  They are named after Chilean Admiral Juan Williams Rebolledo (1825–1910).

Chilean destroyer Almirante Williams (1920), ex-HMS Botha, an Almirante Lynch-class destroyer, commissioned 1920, decommissioned 1933

Chilean destroyer Almirante Williams (DDG-19), an Almirante-class destroyer, commissioned 1960, decommissioned 1996

Montefortino helmet
The Montefortino helmet was a type of Celtic, and later Roman, military helmet used from around 300 BC through the 1st century AD with continuing modifications. This helmet type is named after the region of Montefortino (frazione of Arcevia) in Italy, where a Montefortino helmet was first uncovered in a Celtic burial (photo). The Montefortino helmet originated in the 4th century BCE and was influenced by Etruscan and Celtic helmets. The helmet was brought to Italy by the Senones and it was the most popular helmet amongst the Roman army during the Republican period. The Montefortino helmet remained the most popular Roman helmet until the first century CE. Although in the Roman military it was replaced by the Coolus helmet, it continued to be used by the Praetorian guard.

Praetorian Guard
The Praetorian Guard (Latin: cohortes praetoriae) was the imperial guard of the Imperial Roman army that served various roles for the Roman emperor including being a bodyguard unit, counterintelligence, crowd control and gathering military intelligence.

During the Roman Republic, the Praetorian Guards were escorts for high-ranking political officials and were bodyguards for the senior officers of the Roman legions. In 27 BC, after Rome's transition from republic to empire, the first emperor of Rome, Augustus, designated the Praetorians as his personal security escort. For three centuries, the guards of the Roman emperor were also known for their palace intrigues, by whose influence upon imperial politics the Praetorians could overthrow an emperor and then proclaim his successor as the new caesar of Rome. In AD 312, Constantine the Great disbanded the cohortes praetoriae and destroyed their barracks at the Castra Praetoria.
Ruby slippers
The ruby slippers are a pair of magical shoes worn by Dorothy Gale as played by Judy Garland in the 1939 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer musical film The Wizard of Oz. Because of their iconic stature, they are as of December 2024 the most valuable items of film memorabilia in the world. Several pairs were made for the film, though the exact number is unknown. Five pairs are known to have survived; one pair was stolen from a museum in 2005 and recovered in 2018.

In L. Frank Baum's original 1900 novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, on which the film is based, Dorothy wears Silver Shoes. However, the color of the shoes was changed to red to take advantage of the three-strip Technicolor film process used in some big-budget prestigious Hollywood films of the era. Screenwriter Noel Langley is credited with the idea.

Noel Langley
Noel Langley (25 December 1911 – 4 November 1980) was a South African-born (later naturalised American) novelist, playwright, screenwriter and director. He wrote the screenplay which formed the basis for the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz and is one of the three credited screenwriters for the film. His finished script for the film was revised by Florence Ryerson and Edgar Allan Woolf, the other credited screenwriters. Langley objected to their changes and lamented the final cut upon first seeing it, but later revised his opinion. He attempted to write a sequel based on The Marvelous Land of Oz using many of the concepts he had added to its predecessor, but this was never released.
Portrait of Marshal Saint-Cyr
Portrait of Marshal Saint-Cyr is an 1821 portrait painting by the French artist Horace Vernet. It depicts Laurent de Gouvion Saint-Cyr, a former Marshal of the Empire under Napoleon. In 1817 he was appointed as Minister of War during the post-war Restoration era.

Rather than the more common state portrait Saint-Cyr is shown as a man of action, lit by lamplight in a military camp planning the next day's campaigning. Vernet exhibited at the Salon of 1824 in Paris. Today it is in the collection of the Palace of Versailles.

Minister of War (France)
The Minister of War (French: Ministre de la guerre) was the leader and most senior official of the French Ministry of War.
