Lustral basin
The lustral basin is an architectural form used in Minoan architecture. Consisting of a small sunken room reached by a staircase, they are characteristic of elite architecture of the Neopalatial period (c. 1750-1470 BC).

They are hypothesized to have been used either as shrines, baths, or as part of an initiation ritual. The term was coined by Sir Arthur Evans, who hypothesized that they were used for lustration.

Arthur Evans
Sir Arthur John Evans FRS FBA FREng (8 July 1851 – 11 July 1941) was a British archaeologist and pioneer in the study of Aegean civilization in the Bronze Age.

The first excavations at the Minoan palace of Knossos on the Greek island of Crete began in 1877. They were led by Cretan Greek Minos Kalokairinos, a native of Heraklion. Three weeks later Ottoman authorities forced him to stop (at the time, Crete was under Ottoman rule). Almost three decades later, Evans heard of Kalokairinos' discovery. With private funding, he bought the surrounding rural area including the palace land. Evans began his own excavations in 1900.

Based on the structures and artefacts found there and throughout the eastern Mediterranean, Evans found that he needed to distinguish the Minoan civilisation from Mycenaean Greece. Evans was also the first to define the Cretan scripts Linear A and Linear B, as well as an earlier pictographic writing.
Round Top (Contra Costa County, California)
Round Top is an extinct volcano located in the Berkeley Hills, just east of Oakland, California, within Contra Costa County.  The peak is part of the Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve, which was originally established in 1936 as Round Top Regional Park. This park was one of the first three parks in the East Bay Regional Parks District. The park was renamed Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve in 1958 in honor of Robert Sibley, the second president of the park district, shortly after his death in 1958.

The volcanic activity that created Round Top began approximately 10.2 million years ago and continued for over one million years. The area has two known main volcanic vents: one under the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the other at Round Top itself. Over time, the Round Top vent has tilted and fallen sideways, a testament to the geological changes that have shaped the region over millions of years.

Channel drift
Channel drift or network decay refers to the gradual shift of a television network away from its original programming in order to target another more profitable audience, or to broaden its viewership by incorporating less niche content. This often results in a shift from informative or artistic quality programming aimed at educated viewers toward sensational, ratings-based or reality-formatted programming designed for the entertainment of a mass audience. Channel drift frequently features the incorporation of infotainment, reality television and heavy advertising into the channel's lineup.

Infotainment
Infotainment, a portmanteau of information and entertainment, is a type of media, usually television or online, that provides a combination of information and entertainment. The term may be used disparagingly to devalue infotainment or soft news subjects in favor of more serious hard news subjects. Infotainment-based websites and social media apps gained traction due to their focused publishing of infotainment content, e.g. BuzzFeed. It is also called soft news as a way to distinguish it from serious journalism or hard news.

Aponogeton ranunculiflorus
Aponogeton ranunculiflorus, the Sehlabathebe water lily, is a tiny and endangered species of aquatic plant, that belongs to the pondweed family Aponogetonaceae. It is protected in the Sehlabathebe National Park in the mountains of Lesotho, where it is very localised, and nearby in the uKhahlamba / Drakensberg Park of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Outside these areas it is seriously threatened. It is found in sandstone rock pools, up to 7 metres deep, and in permanently wet tarns or sensitive high altitude mires, at altitudes between about 2,600 and 3,200 metres. Its spiralled stems allow the flowers to remain at surface level. Threats to the species include overgrazing and trampling by cattle, overburning, erosion and subsistence farming. Their small (1 cm) corms can survive the drying out of the pools, or being frozen into the muddy bottoms.

Overgrazing
Overgrazing occurs when plants are exposed to intensive grazing for extended periods of time, or without sufficient recovery periods. It can be caused by either livestock in poorly managed agricultural applications, game reserves, or nature reserves. It can also be caused by immobile, travel restricted populations of native or non-native wild animals.

Overgrazing reduces the usefulness, productivity and biodiversity of the land and is one cause of desertification and erosion. Overgrazing is also seen as a cause of the spread of invasive species of non-native plants and of weeds. Degrading land, emissions from animal agriculture and reducing the biomass in a ecosystem contribute directly to climate change between grazing events.

Corvallis to the Sea Trail
Corvallis to the Sea Trail is a 60-mile (97 km) hiking and cycling trail in Western Oregon (United States) that links the Willamette Valley to the Pacific Ocean.  It offers a maintained public right-of-way for non-motorized recreational transit from Corvallis to Ona Beach.  The complete trail opened officially in August 2021. It crosses a patchwork of public and private land.  Roughly half of the trail's length exists within Siuslaw National Forest.

The project to establish the trail had more than 40,000 volunteer hours and $20,000 in donations.

The trail creation effort began in 1974, but failed due to difficulties with various private land owner agreements.  In 2004 the nonprofit C2C Trail Partnership was founded. It was able to work successfully with Siuslaw National Forest officials and eventually all adjacent land owners.

Western Oregon
Western Oregon is a geographical term that is generally taken to mean the part of the U.S. state of Oregon within 120 miles (190 km) of the state’s coastal region, on the west side of the crest of the Cascade Range. The term is applied somewhat loosely, however, and is sometimes taken to exclude the southwestern areas of the state, which are often referred to as Southern Oregon. In that case, Western Oregon refers only to the counties west of the Cascades and north of and including Lane County.

Western Oregon, being 120 by 250 miles (190 by 400 km) in area, is about the same size as New England minus Maine. Unlike the climate of Eastern Oregon, which is primarily dry and continental, the climate of Western Oregon is generally a moderate Mediterranean climate.

General election
A general election is an electoral process to choose most or all members of a governing body at the same time. They are distinct from by-elections, which fill individual seats that have become vacant between general elections. General elections typically occur at regular intervals as mandated by a country's constitution or electoral laws, and may include elections for a legislature and sometimes other positions such as a directly elected president. In many jurisdictions, general elections can coincide with other electoral events such as local, regional, or supranational elections. For example, on 25 May 2014, Belgian voters simultaneously elected their national parliament, 21 members of the European Parliament, and regional parliaments.

In the United States, "general election" has a slightly different, but related meaning: the ordinary electoral competition following the selection of candidates in the primary election.
Islam in Germany
Islam's significance in Germany  increased after the labour migration in the 1960s and several waves of political refugees since the 1970s. In
2019, there were 5.3–5.6 million Muslims with a migrant background in Germany (6.4–6.7% of the population), in addition to Muslims who do not fit into that category. A similar survey in 2016 estimated a number of 4.4–4.7 million Muslims with a migrant background (5.4–5.7% of the population) at that time. A survey in 2009 estimated a total number of up to 4.3 million Muslims in Germany. There are also higher estimates: according to the German Islam Conference, Muslims represented 7% of the population in Germany in 2012.

In 2014, it was estimated that 20,000-100,000 Germans converted to Islam, numbers  comparable to those in France and in the United Kingdom.

Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution
The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (German: Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz or BfV, often Bundesverfassungsschutz) is Germany's federal domestic intelligence agency. Together with the Landesämter für Verfassungsschutz (LfV) at the state level, the federal agency is tasked with intelligence-gathering on efforts against the liberal democratic basic order, the existence and security of the federation or one of its states, and the peaceful coexistence of peoples; with counter-intelligence; and with protective security and counter-sabotage. The BfV reports to the Federal Ministry of the Interior and tasks and powers are regulated in the Federal Constitutional Protection Act (Bundesverfassungsschutzgesetz [BVerfSchG]). The last President was Thomas Haldenwang; he had been appointed in 2018 and left office in November 2024. The next president is supposed to be assigned by a new government following the 2025 German federal election.
