It's Hard to Believe It: The Amazing World of Joe Meek
It's Hard to Believe It: The Amazing World of Joe Meek is a compilation album of songs produced by English record producer Joe Meek and released in the 1960s. The album was released on 19 September 1995 on the Razor & Tie label, making it the first collection of Meek's music to be released in the United States. It was compiled and annotated by Dennis Diken, the drummer for the Smithereens, who first became interested in Meek's work through the song "Telstar", a song released by the Tornados in 1962 that Meek had written and produced. Diken told the Phoenix New Times' Serene Dominic that he held a private party to celebrate the album's release, featuring a performance by a band whose members included Marshall Crenshaw and Richard Barone, as well as Diken himself.

Crooked River (New Zealand)
Crooked River is a river that flows from headwaters in the Southern Alps to Lake Brunner in the West Coast region of New Zealand's South Island.  It is named for the erratic path it takes.  Near Lake Brunner, it passes through reasonably flat farmland, but closer to its source, it rushes through gorges and rapids.  One tributary is the Poerua River from Lake Poerua.

Fishers visit Crooked River to catch trout. The river is also used by canoeists.  Recently, there has been a minor silt build-up in the river's middle reaches.

There are two backcountry huts available for trampers along the Crooked River.

Rapids
Rapids are sections of a river where the river bed has a relatively steep gradient, causing an increase in water velocity and turbulence. Flow, gradient, constriction, and obstacles are four factors that are needed for a rapid to be created.

Scaphinotus andrewsii
Scaphinotus andrewsii is a ground beetle in the family Carabidae. It is found in North America, living in moist areas and primarily predate on snails.

They are known for their dark, black exoskeleton and somewhat elongated head and thorax.

Snail
A snail is a shelled gastropod. The name is most often applied to land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs. However, the common name snail is also used for most of the members of the molluscan class Gastropoda that have a coiled shell that is large enough for the animal to retract completely into. When the word "snail" is used in this most general sense, it includes not just land snails but also numerous species of sea snails and freshwater snails. Gastropods that naturally lack a shell, or have only an internal shell, are mostly called slugs, and land snails that have only a very small shell (that they cannot retract into) are sometimes called semi-slugs.
Leigh Markopoulos
Leigh Markopoulos (1968 – 2017) was an American art critic, curator, and teacher. Markopoulos was the chair of the graduate program in curatorial practice at California College of the Arts. She curated over 50 exhibitions, including ones at the Serpentine Gallery and the Hayward Gallery. Her focus was the art and artworld of the 1960s and 1970s.

Serpentine Galleries
The Serpentine Galleries are two contemporary art galleries in Kensington Gardens, Westminster, Greater London. Recently rebranded to just Serpentine, the organisation is split across Serpentine South (previously known as the Serpentine Gallery) and Serpentine North (previously known as the Sackler Gallery).

The gallery spaces are within five minutes' walk of each other, linked by the bridge over the Serpentine Lake from which the galleries get their names. Their exhibitions, architecture, education and public programmes attract up to 1.2 million visitors a year. Admission to both galleries is free. The CEO is Bettina Korek, and the artistic director Hans Ulrich Obrist.

December 1911 Cobar state by-election
The December 1911 Cobar state by-election was scheduled to be held on 16 December 1911 to elect the member for Cobar in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly, following the death of Labour Party MP Donald Macdonell.

Macdonell had been absent from parliament because he was unwell, but he was expected to recover. During his absence, a political crisis caused by the resignation of two Labour members resulted in the parliament being prorogued, and he was automatically expelled for non-attendance during an entire session. His seat was declared vacant in September 1911, but he recontested and was elected unopposed at the resulting by-election.

Three weeks after the September by-election, Macdonell died, triggering a second by-election. The only candidate to contest was Labour's Charles Fern, and he was declared elected at the close of candidate nominations on 2 December 1911.

Electoral district of Cobar
Cobar was an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of New South Wales which was named after the town of Cobar. It was first created in 1894 and abolished in 1920. Cobar was recreated in 1930 and abolished in 1968.
Little Grove, Western Australia
Little Grove is a southern suburb of the City of Albany in the Great Southern region of Western Australia. The suburb is bounded by the Princess Royal Harbour to the north and west.

Little Grove is situated on a peninsula south of Princess Royal Harbour. Directly across the harbour is Albany's central business district. Little Grove borders Torndirrup National Park in the east.

It has been the location of sporting activities early in the history of Albany, with access by boats from across the harbour.

Frenchman Bay Road passes through the suburb.

City of Albany
The City of Albany is a local government area in the Great Southern region of Western Australia, about 410 kilometres (255 mi) south-southeast of Perth, the capital of Western Australia. It covers an area of 4,312.3 square kilometres (1,665 sq mi), including the Greater Albany metropolitan area and the Port of Albany, as well as the surrounding agricultural district and some national parks. The City of Albany had a population of over 36,000 at the 2016 census.
Crampon (traction aid)
A crampon is a traction device attached to footwear to improve mobility on snow and ice during ice climbing. Besides ice climbing, crampons are also used for secure travel on snow and ice, such as crossing glaciers, snowfields and icefields, ascending snow slopes, and scaling ice-covered rock.

There are three main attachment systems: step-in, hybrid, and strap bindings. The first two require boots with welts, or specialized mountaineering boots with dedicated front and rear lugs, as a cam-action lever attaches the crampon to the heel. The last type (strap bindings) is more versatile and can adapt to virtually any boot or shoe, but often does not fit as precisely as the other two types.

Oscar Eckenstein designed the first 10-point crampon in 1908, dramatically reducing the need for step cutting. This design was then made commercially available by the Italian Henry Grivel.

Ice field
An ice field (also spelled icefield) is a mass of interconnected valley glaciers (also called mountain glaciers or alpine glaciers) on a mountain mass with protruding rock ridges or summits. They are often found in the colder climates and higher altitudes of the world where there is sufficient precipitation for them to form. The higher peaks of the underlying mountain rock that protrude through the icefields are known as nunataks. Ice fields are larger than alpine glaciers, but smaller than ice caps and ice sheets. The topography of ice fields is determined by the shape of the surrounding landforms, while ice caps have their own forms overriding underlying shapes.
Bent Pyramid
The Bent Pyramid is an ancient Egyptian pyramid located at the royal necropolis of Dahshur, approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi) south of Cairo, built under the Old Kingdom Pharaoh Sneferu. A unique example of early pyramid development in Egypt, this was the second of four pyramids built by Sneferu.

The Bent Pyramid rises from the desert at a 54-degree inclination, but the top section (above 47 metres [154 ft]) is built at the shallower angle of 43 degrees, lending the pyramid a visibly "bent" appearance.

Necropolis
A necropolis (pl.: necropolises, necropoles, necropoleis, necropoli) is a large, designed cemetery with elaborate tomb monuments. The name stems from the Ancient Greek νεκρόπολις nekropolis (lit. 'city of the dead').

The term usually implies a separate burial site at a distance from a city, as opposed to tombs within cities, which were common in various places and periods of history. They are different from grave fields, which did not have structures or markers above the ground. While the word is most commonly used for ancient sites, the name was revived in the early 19th century and applied to planned city cemeteries, such as the Glasgow Necropolis.
Bucellarian Theme
The Bucellarian Theme (Greek: Βουκελλάριον θέμα, Boukellarion thema), more properly known as the Theme of the Bucellarians (Greek: θέμα Βουκελλαρίων, thema Boukellariōn) was a Byzantine theme (a military-civilian province) in northern Asia Minor (modern Turkey). It was created around the middle of the 8th century, comprising the Bithynia region, the ancient region of Paphlagonia and parts of Galatia and Phrygia.

Galatia
Galatia (/ɡəˈleɪʃə/; Ancient Greek: Γαλατία, Galatía, Turkish: Galatya) was an ancient area in the highlands of central Anatolia, roughly corresponding to the provinces of Ankara and Eskişehir in modern Turkey. Galatia was named after the Gauls from Thrace (cf. Tylis), who settled here and became a small transient foreign tribe in the 3rd century BC, following the Gallic invasion of the Balkans in 279 BC.
2002 Hindu Kush earthquakes
The 2002 Hindu Kush earthquakes struck northern Afghanistan, with the two most destructive events occurring in March. At least 169 people were killed with a very large and intermediate-depth Mw 7.4 event on March 3. Three weeks later, at least 1,200 were killed during a moderate but shallow Mw  6.1 event that had a maximum Mercalli intensity of VII (Very strong). A Mw  5.9 aftershock on April 12, which had a Mercalli intensity of VII (Very strong), killed an additional 50 people. The Mw  7.4 and Mw  6.1 reverse events were focused in the Hindu Kush mountain range area.

Hypocenter
A hypocenter or hypocentre (from Ancient Greek  ὑπόκεντρον (hupókentron) 'below the center'), also called ground zero or surface zero, is the point on the Earth's surface directly below a nuclear explosion, meteor air burst, or other mid-air explosion. In seismology, the hypocenter of an earthquake is its point of origin below ground; a synonym is the focus of an earthquake.

Generally, the terms ground zero and surface zero are also used in relation to epidemics, and other disasters to mark the point of the most severe damage or destruction. The term is distinguished from the term zero point in that the latter can also be located in the air, underground, or underwater.
Biological pigment
A biological pigment, also known simply as a pigment or biochrome, is a substance produced by living organisms that have a color resulting from selective color absorption. Biological pigments include plant pigments and flower pigments. Many biological structures, such as skin, eyes, feathers, fur and hair contain pigments such as melanin in specialized cells called chromatophores. In some species, pigments accrue over very long periods during an individual's lifespan.

Pigment color differs from structural color in that it is the same for all viewing angles, whereas structural color is the result of selective reflection or iridescence, usually because of multilayer structures. For example, butterfly wings typically contain structural color, although many butterflies have cells that contain pigment as well.

Absorption (electromagnetic radiation)
In physics, absorption of electromagnetic radiation is how matter (typically electrons bound in atoms) takes up a photon's energy—and so transforms electromagnetic energy into internal energy of the absorber (for example, thermal energy).

A notable effect of the absorption of electromagnetic radiation is attenuation of the radiation; attenuation is the gradual reduction of the intensity of light waves as they propagate through a medium.

Although the absorption of waves does not usually depend on their intensity (linear absorption), in certain conditions (optics) the medium's transparency changes by a factor that varies as a function of wave intensity, and saturable absorption (or nonlinear absorption) occurs.

Juanjo Domínguez
Juanjo Domínguez (October 23, 1951 – February 10, 2019) was an Argentine classical guitarist and important interpreter of Argentine music, especially tango. In 2005, he was awarded the Konex Award for best instrumental single artist of popular music.

Dominguez was a true virtuoso of the guitar. His double scales, his tremolos in three strings (invented by himself when studying the Memories of the Alhambra (Recuerdos de La Alhambra) of the master Francisco Tárrega (1852-1909) it seemed to him that making the tremolo in a single string limited the sound), his speed comparable to that of an arch instrument and its high level of improvisation make it a unique guitarist. He declared having taken his inspiration from the famous Paraguayan counterpart Agustín Barrios (1885-1944). This was also a remarkable improviser (like all the great musicians of antiquity) and was a «mold» for the construction of his technique.

U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges Ranking
U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges Ranking is an annual set of rankings of colleges and universities in the United States, which was first published by U.S. News & World Report in 1983. It has been described as the most influential institutional ranking in the country.

The Best Colleges rankings have raised controversy, and they have been denounced by several education experts. Detractors argue that they rely on self-reported, sometimes fraudulent data by the institutions, encourage gamesmanship by institutions looking to improve their rank, imply a false precision by deriving an ordinal ranking from questionable data, contribute to the admissions frenzy by unduly highlighting prestige, and ignore individual fit by comparing institutions with widely diverging missions on the same scale.
Battle of Custoza
Battle of Custoza (or Battle of Custozza) is the name of two battles fought in Custoza, near Verona, Northern Italy. Both battles were fought within the Italian unification process, and were two defeats for the Kingdom of Sardinia and later Kingdom of Italy:

Battle of Custoza (1848)

Battle of Custoza (1866)

Battle of Custoza (1866)
The Battle of Custoza took place on the 24 June 1866 during the Third Italian War of Independence in the Italian unification process.

The Austrian Imperial army, joined by the Venetian Army, jointly commanded by Archduke Albrecht  of Habsburg, defeated the Italian army, led by Alfonso Ferrero La Marmora and Enrico Cialdini.
