Demographics of Sierra Leone
The demographics of Sierra Leone are made up of an indigenous population from 18 ethnic groups. The Temne in the north and the Mende in the south are the largest. About 60,000 are Krio, the descendants of freed slaves who returned to Sierra Leone from Great Britain, North America and slave ships captured on the high seas.

In the past, some Sierra Leoneans were noted for their educational achievements, trading activity, entrepreneurial skills, and arts and crafts work, particularly woodcarving. Many are part of larger ethnic networks extending into several countries, which link West African states in the area. Their level of education and infrastructure have declined sharply over the last 30 years.
The Acolyte (fanzine)
The Acolyte was a science fiction fanzine edited by Francis Towner Laney from 1942 to 1946 (a total of 14 issues), dedicated to articles about fantasy fiction, with particular emphasis on H. P. Lovecraft and his circle. (Laney's essay, "The Cthulhu Mythology: A Glossary", initially published in the Winter 1942 issue, was expanded at the request of August Derleth and became part of the 1943 Arkham House Lovecraft anthology Beyond the Wall of Sleep.) Later issues were co-edited and published by Samuel D. Russell.

Contributors included Clark Ashton Smith and Donald Wandrei. The first two issues were hectographed, the remainder were mimeographed. Due to its influential role in the field, it is indexed in the Science Fiction, Fantasy, & Weird Fiction Magazine Index compiled by Stephen T. Miller & William G. Contento., as well as fanzine indexes.

It was nominated for the 1946 Retrospective Hugo Award for Best Fanzine, losing to Forrest J Ackerman's Voice of the Imagi-Nation.

Bima Stagg
Bima Stagg (May 3, 1945 – October 21, 2021) also known as Kipp Stagg, was an American screenwriter and actor based in Los Angeles, California.

While attending Columbia University in New York, Stagg met artist Andy Warhol. They formed a friendship and Stagg became a regular at The Factory. Stagg starred alongside Edie Sedgwick in the film Beauty No. 1 (1965), and he appeared in Warhol's Screen Tests.

Screen Tests
The Screen Tests are a series of short, silent, black-and-white film portraits by Andy Warhol, made between 1964 and 1966, generally showing their subjects from the neck up against plain backdrops.

The Screen Tests, of which 472 survive, depict a wide range of figures that included regulars and new visitors to the Factory scene; many of them part of the 1960s downtown New York cultural scene. Under Warhol's direction, subjects of the Screen Tests attempted to sit motionless for around three minutes while being filmed, with the resulting movies projected in slow motion. The films represent a new kind of portraiture—a slowly moving, nearly still image of a person. Warhol's Screen Tests connect on one hand with the artist's other work in film, which emphasized stillness and duration, e.g., Sleep (1964) and Empire (1965), and on the other hand with his focus on documenting his celebrity milieu.
Busification
Busification (Ukrainian: Бусифікація) is a term that emerged in Ukrainian society and media to describe a controversial method of forced conscription into the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the ongoing Russian invasion. The word refers to situations in which employees of territorial recruitment centers (TCC) (Ukrainian: ТЦК) and law enforcement officers forcibly load men of conscription age into buses.

The term is a portmanteau of "busyk" (from English: bus) — a colloquial name for minibuses or similar vehicles to apprehend used by authorities to transport detainees to TCC — and the suffixoid “-ification,” which denotes an action or transformation (from Latin "facio"). The practice is associated with physical coercion by territorial recruitment offices and has become a prominent symbol in debates over conscription, state authority, individual rights, and national mobilization policy.

Territorial Center of Recruitment and Social Support
The Territorial Center of Recruitment and Social Support (TCR and SS, TCR or TCK) (Ukrainian: Територіальний центр комплектування та соціальної підтримки, ТЦК та СП or ТЦК) is Ukraine's military administration body that keeps military records and mobilizes the population. Starting from 2022, the TCR and SS have completely replaced Ukraine's former system of military commissariats.

Exigua
Exigua (synonym: Brassicicephalus) is an extinct genus from a well-known class of fossil marine arthropods, the trilobites. It lived from 501 to 497 million years ago during the Dresbachian faunal stage of the late Cambrian Period. Exigua is only known from the central part of the headshield or cranidium, so free cheeks (or librigenae), thorax and pygidium are unknown.

Stage (stratigraphy)
In chronostratigraphy, a stage is a succession of rock strata laid down in a single age on the geologic timescale, which usually represents millions of years of deposition.  A given stage of rock and the corresponding age of time will by convention have the same name, and the same boundaries.

Rock series are divided into stages, just as geological epochs are divided into ages. Stages are divided into smaller stratigraphic units called chronozones or substages, and added together into superstages.

The term faunal stage is sometimes used, referring to the fact that the same fauna (animals) are found throughout the layer (by definition).

Publicly funded elections
A publicly funded election is an election funded with money collected through income tax donations or taxes as opposed to private or corporate-funded campaigns. In 1974, following the Watergate scandal, the U.S. Congress revised the Federal Election Campaign Act to create a voluntary public financing system for presidential campaigns. Candidates demonstrating grassroots support and agreeing to spending limits can opt for a mixed funding model in the primaries, which includes public matching funds for small donor contributions. Candidates can choose to receive full public funding for the general election, which prohibits private contributions, aiming to promote a fairer democracy and reduce the influence of corporate and private entities. Jurisdictions such as United Kingdom, Norway, India, Russia, Brazil, Nigeria, and Sweden have considered legislation that would create publicly funded elections.

Narratology
Narratology is the study of narrative and narrative structure and the ways that these affect human perception. The term is an anglicisation of French narratologie, coined by Tzvetan Todorov (Grammaire du Décaméron, 1969). Its theoretical lineage is traceable to Aristotle (Poetics) but modern narratology is agreed to have begun with the Russian formalists, particularly Vladimir Propp (Morphology of the Folktale, 1928), and Mikhail Bakhtin's theories of heteroglossia, dialogism, and the chronotope first presented in The Dialogic Imagination (1975).

Cognitive narratology is a more recent development that allows for a broader understanding of narrative. Rather than focus on the structure of the story, cognitive narratology asks "how humans make sense of stories" and "how humans use stories as sense-making instruments".

Name of Afghanistan
The name Afghānistān (Dari: افغانستان, Afġānistān Dari pronunciation: [afɣɑnɪsˈtʰɑn]; Pashto: افغانستان Afġānistān Pashto pronunciation: [avɣɒnisˈtɒn, abɣɒnisˈtɒn]) means "land of the Afghans", the name "Afghan" originally referred to a member of the Pashtuns. which originates from the ethnonym Afghan. Historically, Pashtuns were referred to as Afghans, the largest ethnic group of Afghanistan. The earliest reference to the name is found in the 10th-century geography book known as Hudud al-'Alam. The last part of the name, -stān is a Persian suffix for "place".

In the early 19th century, Afghan politicians adopted the name Afghanistan for the entire Durrani Empire after its English translation had already appeared in various treaties with Qajarid Persia and British India.

Sart
Sart was a term used in the history and ethnography of Iran and Central Asia. The term was commonly applied to sedentary Turks and Tajiks in Central Asia. Usually bilingual in Turkic and Persian, they belonged to the same cultural tradition and occupied the same economic role.

The Kazakhs, Kyrgyz and Turkmen, being proudly devoted to their rural, nomadic ways of life and values, strongly disliked the highly Persianized speech of Turkic by the Sarts. This instance is comparable to the prejudice the 11th century Turkic scholar Mahmud al-Kashgari had displayed toward Sogdianized urban Turks. Meanwhile, the Persian Tajik dialect had been adopting Turkic vocabulary and syntax, which caused it to shift away from standard Persian.

The taiga and tundra bean goose diverged about 2.5 million years ago and established secondary contact c. 60,000 years ago, resulting in extensive gene flow.
