1867 Chinese Labor Strike
In June 1867, two thousand Chinese Transcontinental Railroad workers participated in a general strike (a collective action) for a week along the Sierra Nevada range, demanding better working conditions. By 1867, the Central Pacific Railroad workforce was composed of 80-90% Chinese laborers and the rest were European-Americans. The workers in the Chinese project were literate and well organized, but left no written records. Despite the lack of written account from the Chinese workers, it is apparent from reports in the press and from the railroad bosses that the Chinese workers were hard-working, peaceful, and that the strike was carried out with no violence.  The strike was organized in June,  at the time of the Summer Solstice, and carried it out a way that strongly reflected Confucian values.  The strike lasted a little over a week, and the workers returned peacefully to work.

General strike
A general strike (or mass strike) is a strike action in which a substantial proportion of the total labour force in a city, region, or country participates. General strikes are characterised by the participation of workers from a multitude of workplaces across different industries, and tend to involve entire communities. They are often used to strengthen the bargaining position of a trade union or achieve a common social or political goal. General strikes first occurred in the mid-19th century and have characterised many historically important strikes.

World of Avatar: The Last Airbender
The Avatar: The Last Airbender franchise takes place in a fantasy world inspired primarily by East Asian cultures. This world is made up of four nations based on the four classical elements: the Air Nomads, the Water Tribes, the Earth Kingdom, and the Fire Nation. A fifth nation, the United Republic of Nations, is introduced in The Legend of Korra.

Series creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko drew from historical Asian cultures to develop a tone and style for the franchise's world. China is the predominant influence of the fantasy world, though various East Asian, South Asian, Southeast Asian and North American cultures were also incorporated. Many characters in the world of Avatar have the ability to "bend", or to psychokinetically manipulate the element associated with their nationality. One individual, the Avatar, is able to bend all four elements. Avatar: The Last Airbender takes place 100 years after the Fire Nation carried out a genocide against the Air Nomads.

Eastern Europeans in the United Kingdom
Immigrants from Eastern Europe and their descendants have been present in the United Kingdom, in small numbers, for several centuries, with subsequent large migrations in the 21st century. At times, British media also included people with Central European ancestry in this category. This is similar to the definition of Eastern European in the United States, Canada, and Australia: Coming from former Eastern Bloc countries.

There are roughly 2.2 million Eastern European nationals living in the UK, with the largest groups being Polish, Romanian, and Lithuanian. This includes 1,429,000 nationals from EU8 countries, 570,000 nationals from EU2 countries, 29,000 from Cyprus, Malta, and Croatia outside of the EU's original fourteen (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Sweden), and 216,000 from non-EU Europe.

Kyiv Oblast
Kyiv Oblast (Ukrainian: Київська область, romanized: Kyivska oblast, IPA: [ˈkɪjiu̯sʲkɐ ˈɔblɐsʲtʲ]), also called Kyivshchyna (Київщинa, IPA: [ˈkɪjiu̯ʃtʃɪnɐ]), is an oblast (province) in central and northern Ukraine. It surrounds, but does not include, the city of Kyiv, which is administered as a city with special status. However, Kyiv also serves as the administrative center of the oblast.

Greater Romania
Greater Romania (Romanian: România Mare) is the Kingdom of Romania during the interwar period, within its borders achieved after the Great Union; or the related pan-nationalist ideal of a nation state which would incorporate all Romanian-speakers.

In 1920, after the incorporation of Transylvania, Bukovina, Bessarabia and parts of Banat, Crișana, and Maramureș, the Romanian state reached its largest peacetime geographical extent (295,049 km2). Today, the concept serves as a guiding principle for the unification of Moldova and Romania.

The idea is comparable to other similar conceptions such as Greater Bulgaria, Megali Idea, Greater Yugoslavia, Greater Hungary and Greater Italy.

Yugoslav irredentism
Yugoslav irredentism was a Yugoslavist political idea advocating for merging of South Slav-populated territories within Yugoslavia with several adjacent territories, including Bulgaria, Western Thrace and Greek Macedonia. The government of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia sought the union with Bulgaria or its incorporation into Yugoslavia. The government of the communist-ruled Yugoslavia under Josip Broz Tito negotiated for an eventual unification with the People's Republic of Bulgaria in the Bled agreement, and also sought to create an integral Yugoslavia that would incorporate within its borders: Greek Macedonia, Albania, Pirin Macedonia, at least some of Austrian Carinthia, and for a time the entire Italian region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia.

Madaket Ditch
The Madaket Ditch, formerly spelled as Maddequet Ditch, is a canal connecting Long Pond to Madaket Harbor on the western edge of Nantucket, Massachusetts.

The ditch was first dug circa 1665 by English settlers and Native Americans as the first public works project on Nantucket. It runs roughly southwest for about 1 mile and was cut as freshwater channels running through freshwater cattail marsh and salt marsh, in order to create more meadow and catch fish running through it in a weir. Fish runs have historically included perch, herring, smelt, and eels. In the early 20th century, a large dip net, about four feet in diameter and eight feet long, subconical in shape, was used instead of a weir to scoop up fish.

Today the ditch still exists at Second Bridge, with depths between two and four feet. As it is tidal, there is little variation in water level at the pond's end.

Fishing weir
A fishing weir, fish weir, fishgarth or kiddle is an obstruction placed in tidal waters, or wholly or partially across a river, to direct the passage of, or trap, fish. A weir may be used to trap marine fish in the intertidal zone as the tide recedes, fish such as salmon as they attempt to swim upstream to breed in a river, or eels as they migrate downstream. Alternatively, fish weirs can be used to channel fish to a particular location, such as to a fish ladder. Weirs were traditionally built from wood or stones. The use of fishing weirs as fish traps probably dates back prior to the emergence of modern humans, and have since been used by many societies around the world.

In the Philippines, specific indigenous fishing weirs (a version of the ancient Austronesian stone fish weirs) are also known in English as fish corrals and barrier nets.

Australian WPGA Championship
The Australian WPGA Championship is a women's professional golf tournament on the WPGA Tour of Australasia held in Queensland, Australia.

First held at Royal Queensland Golf Club in 2022, it later moved to Sanctuary Cove Golf & Country Club. Players compete to lift the Karrie Webb Cup.

The Ladies European Tour is a professional golf tour for women which was founded in 1978. Most of the players on the tour are European, with members from more than 40 countries internationally. Despite its name, the tour also has tournaments in Africa, Asia, North America and Oceania.

The organization is based at Buckinghamshire Golf Club near London in England. Like many British-based sports organisations it is a company limited by guarantee, a legal structure which enables it to focus on maximising returns to its members through prize money, rather than on making profits for investors. The tour is run by a board of directors and a Players' Council.
Pyhrn Pass
Pyhrn Pass is a mountain pass in the Austrian Alps between the Austrian states of Upper Austria and Styria.

It connects Warscheneck and Bosruck and is at an elevation of 954 m (3,130 ft). The pass road (B 138) has a maximum grade of 10 percent.

Since the middle of the 1980s, traffic on the pass has been reduced by the opening of the Bosruck Tunnel for the A9 Pyhrn Autobahn. There has also been a railway tunnel since the nineteenth century. Since the road tunnel was built, the road has not been cleared regularly in winter, and there is a weight limit for trucking.

On the Upper Austrian side west of the pass is the summer and ski resort Wurzeralm, and east of the pass is Bosruck, which is noted for hiking and cross-country skiing.

Because the pass is a relatively low one, it has been important regionally since the Stone Age.

Pyhrn Autobahn
The Pyhrn Autobahn (A9) (Pyhrn motorway) is an Autobahn (motorway) in Austria. It runs through the Alps by two two-lane tunnels, the 5,400-metre-long (17,700 ft) Bosrucktunnel and the 8,320-metre-long (27,300 ft) Gleinalmtunnel. The longest tunnel on the motorway is the 10-kilometre-long (6.2 mi) Plabutschtunnel under Graz and its outskirts. The last section of the highway was completed in 2004.

While in 2016 some sections still remain single carriageway, including some tunnels, work is progressing to make the Phyrn Autobahn fully dual carriageway. The second carriageway of the Bosruckstunnel was opened on 19 October 2015. The Tunnelkette Klaus (8 km) and the Gleinalmtunnel (8.3 km — the last sections with a single carriageway — were planned to receive a second carriageway in late 2018 and 2019, respectively.

The motorway south of the A2 interchange is a part of the Pan-European corridor Xa.
Jodrell baronets
The Lombe, later Jodrell Baronetcy, of Salle Park in the County of Norfolk, was a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain. It was created on 22 January 1784 for John Lombe, High Sheriff of Norfolk in 1772, with remainder in default of male issue of his own to his brother Edward Hase and the heirs male of his body and in default thereof to the male issue of Edward Hase's daughter, Virtue, wife of the classical scholar and playwright Richard Paul Jodrell. Born John Hase, he had assumed the surname of Lombe in lieu of his patronymic by Act of Parliament, which was that of his maternal grandfather, Edward Lombe. He was succeeded according to the special remainder by his great-nephew Richard Paul Jodrell, the second Baronet, the son of Virtue and Richard Paul Jodrell. The title became extinct on the death of the fourth Baronet in 1929.

High Sheriff of Norfolk
The high sheriff is the oldest secular office under the Crown and is appointed annually (in March) by the Crown. The High Sheriff of Norfolk was originally the principal law enforcement officer in Norfolk and presided at the assizes and other important county meetings. Most of the responsibilities associated with the post have been transferred elsewhere or are now defunct, so that its functions are now largely ceremonial. There was a single high sheriff serving the two counties of Norfolk and Suffolk until 1576.
