The Energy Events Centre is a venue for sports, conferences, exhibitions, banquets and concerts in Rotorua, New Zealand. The centre can hold up to 3,500 people and was finished in February 2007.

The driving force behind the establishment of the centre was Peter McLeod (died 2015) of Rotorua Lakes Council.

On 13 May 2021, The New Zealand Breakers announced that they would play an Australian National Basketball League Game against the Cairns Taipans at the venue on 2 June 2021. It was the first time the venue has hosted a Regular Season game in the League.

New Zealand Breakers
The New Zealand Breakers (also known as the BNZ Breakers for sponsorship reasons) are a New Zealand professional basketball team based in Auckland. The Breakers are the only non-Australian side currently competing in Australia's National Basketball League (NBL), and one of only two non-Australian sides to have done so (the other being the now-absent Singapore Slingers). They play their home games at multiple venues, mainly Spark Arena in Auckland. In 2011, the Breakers won their first NBL championship and successfully defended it in 2012 and 2013, claiming the second three-peat in NBL history. They won their fourth title in 2015.

From 2005 to 2018, the Breakers were owned by Liz and Paul Blackwell. In 2018, a consortium led by former NBA player Matt Walsh acquired a majority stake through a newly established company, Breakers Basketball Ltd. In March 2025, Kiwi-American businessman and attorney Marc Mitchell acquired the club.
Queen and pawn versus queen endgame
The queen and pawn versus queen endgame is a chess endgame in which both sides have a queen and one side has a pawn, which one tries to promote. It is very complicated and difficult to play. Cross-checks are often used as a device to win the game by forcing the exchange of queens. It is almost always a draw if the defending king is in front of the pawn.

Karsten Müller and Frank Lamprecht say that this endgame occurs quite frequently but Mark Dvoretsky says that it occurs quite seldom. This is the second most common "piece and pawn versus piece" endgame, next to the rook and pawn versus rook endgame.

Pawn (chess)
The pawn (♙, ♟) is the most numerous and weakest piece in the game of chess. It can move one vacant square directly forward, or one or two vacant squares directly forward on its first move, and can capture one square diagonally forward. Each player begins a game with eight pawns, one on each square of their second rank. The white pawns start on a2 through h2, while the black pawns start on a7 through h7.

Individual pawns are often referred to by the file on which they stand. For example, one speaks of "White's f-pawn" or "Black's b-pawn". It is also common to refer to a rook pawn, meaning any pawn on the a- or h-files, a knight pawn (on the b- or g-files), a bishop pawn (on the c- or f-files), a queen pawn (on the d-file), a king pawn (on the e-file), and a central pawn (on the d- or e-files).

The Doldrum
The Doldrum is a 1796 comedy play by the Irish writer John O'Keeffe. A farce, it premiered as an afterpiece at the Theatre Royal, Covent Garden in London on 23 April 1796. The original cast included Joseph Shepherd Munden as Sir Marmaduke, John Quick as Septimus, James Middleton as Captain Septimus, William Macready as Flam, Thomas Knight as Gyp, Samuel Simmons as Looby, Elizabeth Mansell as Emeline and Isabella Mattocks as Mrs. Auburne. The play's prologue made reference to Vortigern and Rowena, a forged play supposedly by Shakespeare, that had recently been staged at the rival Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. The Irish premiere took place at the Crow Street Theatre in Dublin on 11 July 1796.

Prologue
A prologue or prolog (from Ancient Greek πρόλογος prólogos, from πρό pró, "before" and λόγος lógos, "speech") is an opening to a story that establishes the context and gives background details, often some earlier story that ties into the main one, and other miscellaneous information. The Ancient Greek word πρόλογος includes the modern meaning of prologue, but was of wider significance, more like the meaning of preface. The importance, therefore, of the prologue in Greek drama was very great; it sometimes almost took the place of a romance, to which, or to an episode in which, the play itself succeeded.
Der shtern (Kharkov)
Der shtern (Yiddish: דער שטערן, lit. ''The Star'') was a Yiddish language daily newspaper published from Kharkov, Ukrainian SSR between 1925 and 1941.

Der shtern replaced Komunistishe fon as the main Yiddish newspaper in Soviet Ukraine. The first issue of Der shtern was published in May 1925. In its initial phase Der shtern was the largest Yiddish newspaper in the Soviet Union, as well. It was printed around 12,000 copies, a larger number than that of the Moscow-based Der emes and the Minsk-based Oktyabr combined.

As of January 1928, Der Shtern had a circulation of 9,500 copies, by January 1929 12,600 and by January 1930 the publication had a circulation of 16,700 copies. By the late 1930s Der shtern was one of very few remaining Yiddish newspapers in the Soviet Union.

In 1920, the Bolsheviks established the Bureau for the South of Russia, as part of the Soviet All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions.  In 1924, this was refounded as VURPS.  It grew to have more than 2,000,000 members by 1929, but remained subordinate to the Soviet federation.  In 1937, it was dissolved, and was not replaced until after World War II, when the Ukrainian Republican Council of Trade Unions was established.

Siege of Trsat
The siege of Trsat (Croatian: Opsada Trsata) was a battle fought over possession of the town of Trsat (Latin: Tarsatica) in Liburnia, near the Croatian–Frankish border. The battle was fought in the autumn of 799 between the defending forces of Dalmatian Croatia under the leadership of Croatian duke Višeslav, and the invading Frankish army of the Carolingian Empire led by Eric of Friuli. The battle was a Croatian victory, and the Frankish commander Eric was killed during the siege.

The Frankish invasion of Croatia, the destruction of Tarsatica, the coronation of Charlemagne as Holy Roman Emperor, and negotiations from 802–815 between the Franks and Byzantines led to a stalemate. Dalmatian Croatia consequently peacefully accepted a limited Frankish overlordship.

It was dissolved on 29 November 2007 by the Ecuadorian Constituent Assembly and replaced by the National Assembly of Ecuador under the 2008 Constitution. Its demise came when it was already weakened by the disfavorable perception of the Ecuadorian public opinion, which for decades saw it as a corrupt and incompetent entity, as well as a venue for violent disputes between its members and political intrigues, such as the removal of Presidents Abdalá Bucaram in 1997 and Lucio Gutiérrez in 2005.

Coat of arms of Great Britain
The coat of arms of Great Britain was the coat of arms used by the monarchs of the Kingdom of Great Britain, which existed from 1707 to 1801. The kingdom came into being on 1 May 1707, with the political union of the Kingdom of Scotland and the Kingdom of England, which included Wales. The Kingdom of Ireland remained separate, but was represented in the Royal Arms by the harp of Ireland.

On 1 January 1801, the coat of arms was superseded by the coat of arms of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, a new kingdom created by the Acts of Union of 1800, which united the kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland.

Baqet II
Baqet II was an Ancient Egyptian local governor in the Oryx nome dating to the early Middle Kingdom (11th Dynasty) who is mainly known from his tomb chapel at Beni Hasan (BH 33). Little is known about his person. He was the son of Baqet I and his wife Djehutyqai. In the tomb decoration appear texts with titles of Baqet II. Most importantly he was Great overlord of the Oryx nome, but also Haty-a, Royal sealer  and sole friend. His tomb consists of a rock cut chapel and undrground burial chambers. The chapel is decorated with paintings, but they are not very well preserved, especially the paintings on the lower parts of the walls are mostly gone. The underground burial chambers were decorated with paintings too. Here was also found a skeleton of man around 25 to 35 years old, perhaps belonging to Baqet II.

Haty-a
Ḥaty-a was an ancient Egyptian rank and title given to local princes, mayors, or governors.

There is no standard translation for Ḥaty-a, and it is frequently left transliterated in scholarly literature.

In strings of ranking titles Ḥaty-a most often appears between the ranking titles iry-pat and royal sealer (ḫtmty-bỉty) and was therefore a sign of an extremely high status in the ranking of officials in Ancient Egypt. As mayor, the title often stands alone in inscription in front of the name, but was also often combined with the titles overseer of priests or overseer of the god's house, indicating that local governors were also the head of local religious matters.
