History of ASEAN
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) was established in 1967 during a period of Cold War tensions in Southeast Asia. Formed by five non-communist countries, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand, its primary goals were to promote regional solidarity, political stability, and economic development in a volatile geopolitical environment. Over the following decades, ASEAN expanded to include eleven member states and transformed from a loose alliance into a more institutionalized regional organization. It became a key actor in conflict mediation, economic integration, and multilateral diplomacy, fostering dialogue among major powers. By 2008, ASEAN had solidified its position as a central platform for regional cooperation, structured around political-security, economic, and socio-cultural pillars, and was formally recognized through the adoption of a charter that granted the organization legal personality.

Allende meteorite
The Allende meteorite is the largest carbonaceous chondrite ever found on Earth. The fireball was witnessed at 01:05 on February 8, 1969, falling over the Mexican state of Chihuahua. After it broke up in the atmosphere, an extensive search for pieces was conducted and over 2 tonnes (2.2 tons) were recovered. The availability of large quantities of samples of the scientifically important chondrite class has enabled numerous investigations by many scientists; it is often described as "the best-studied meteorite in history." The Allende meteorite has abundant, large calcium–aluminium-rich inclusions (CAI), which  are among the oldest objects formed in the Solar System.

Carbonaceous chondrites compose about 4% of all meteorites observed to fall from space. Prior to 1969, the carbonaceous chondrite class was known from a small number of uncommon meteorites such as Orgueil, which fell in France in 1864. Meteorites similar to Allende were known, but many were small and poorly studied.

Presolar grains
Presolar grains are any solid material formed before the coalescence of the Sun, the star at the center of the Solar System. This material is most frequently encountered as tiny grains incorporated whole into asteroids and comets. Presolar grains formed within the outflow of cooling gases from stars that predate the Sun, i.e., stars that came into being earlier than 4.6 billion years ago.

The stellar nucleosynthesis that took place within these stars lent distinct isotopic signatures to presolar grains, aiding their identification. These isotopic signatures often permit the identification of specific astrophysical nuclear processes different from any that have ever occurred in the Sun, proving the presolar origin of any grains bearing these isotopic ratios.

The study of presolar grains is the domain of cosmochemistry and meteoritics.

Worshipful Company of Pattenmakers
The Worshipful Company of Pattenmakers is one of the Livery Companies of the City of London. The Pattenmakers, who were incorporated by royal charter in 1670 and granted livery status in 1717, were makers of wooden-soled overshoes. Pattens in previous times were helpful to pedestrians negotiating the muddy streets of London. However, with the advent of paved streets and rubber galoshes, pattens became obsolete by the end of the 19th century. Thus, the company's main function is now as a charitable body rather than a guild or trade association for pattenmakers.

The Pattenmakers' Company ranks seventieth in the order of precedence of City Livery Companies. Its motto is Recipiunt Fœminæ Sustentacula Nobis, Latin for "Women Receive Support From Us".

Since the 15th century, the Pattenmakers have been affiliated with St Margaret Pattens, a Wren church located in Eastcheap.
