Vigfúss Víga-Glúmsson
Vigfúss Víga-Glúmsson (Old Norse: [ˈwiɣˌfuːsː ˈwiːɣɑ-ˌɡluːmsˌson]; Modern Icelandic: [ˈvɪɣˌfusː ˈviːɣa-ˌklumsˌsɔːn]) was an Icelandic skald, active around the year 1000. He was the son of Víga-Glúmr, the protagonist of Víga-Glúms saga. According to various sources, Vígfúss was the court poet of Hákon Sigurðarson, but only two verses of his poetry, preserved in Fagrskinna, have come down to us.

Vígfúss has a role in several Icelanders' sagas, including Víga-Glúms saga, Ögmundar þáttr and Ljósvetninga saga. According to the kings' sagas he fought with Earl Hákon against the Jomsvikings in the Battle of Hjörungavágr.

Ljósvetninga saga
Ljósvetninga saga (listenⓘ) is one of the sagas of Icelanders, commonly dated to the thirteenth century and takes place between the end of the tenth century to the mid-eleventh century in the North of Iceland. The saga's main character is Guðmundr inn ríki Eyjólfsson, a powerful chieftain from North-Iceland's Eyjafjörður district. In the early-twentieth century it was an important part of the freeprose-bookprose debate of the oral vs. literary origins of the sagas of Icelanders, due to its problematic manuscript transmission.
Mindphaser
Mindphaser is a sampler or "best of" album of songs previously released by Klaus Schulze. It was issued by Brain Records in Germany in 1981, three years after Schulze had moved on and created his own label, Innovative Communications.  The second track, "Mindphaser", was actually an excerpt of "Floating" from Moondawn.  The other tracks were from LPs which were not made available in the United States for years.  The album's cover art and layout copied the style of recent IC releases.  As a result, many Americans thought the album was a new solo effort with original material.

Klaus Schulze
Klaus Schulze (4 August 1947 – 26 April 2022) was a German electronic music pioneer, composer and musician. He also used the alias Richard Wahnfried and was a member of the Krautrock bands Tangerine Dream, Ash Ra Tempel, and the Cosmic Jokers before launching a solo career consisting of more than 60 albums released across six decades.

Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights
Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights is a U.S.-based pro-choice coalition founded by Merle Hoffman, Lori Sokol, Sunsara Taylor, among others. It is a front organization for the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA. Formed in January 2022, it was aimed at preventing the U.S. Supreme Court from overturning Roe V. Wade and "decimating" abortion rights in the United States.

The group is among those in the United States who use the green scarf as a reproductive rights symbol, borrowing from its use in Argentina since 2003.

Green scarf
The green scarf (Spanish: pañuelo verde) is a symbol of the abortion-rights movements, created in Argentina in 2003 and popularized since 2018 throughout Latin America and then in the United States in 2022. It is inspired by the white scarves worn by the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo.
Elephantine Colossus
The Elephantine Colossus (also known as the Colossal Elephant or the Elephant Colossus, or by its function as the Elephant Hotel) was a tourist attraction located on Coney Island in Brooklyn, New York City.  It was built in the shape of an elephant, an example of novelty architecture.  The seven-story structure designed by James V. Lafferty stood above Surf Avenue and West 12th Street from 1885 (1885) until 1896 (1896), when it burnt down in a fire. During its lifespan, the thirty-one room building acted as a concert hall and amusement bazaar.  It was the second of three elephant buildings built by Lafferty, preceded by the extant Lucy the Elephant (former Elephant Bazaar) near Atlantic City and followed by The Light of Asia in Cape May.

Novelty architecture
Novelty architecture, also called programmatic architecture or mimetic architecture, is a type of architecture in which buildings and other structures are given unusual shapes for purposes such as advertising or to copy other famous buildings. Their size and novelty means that they often serve as landmarks. They are distinct from architectural follies, in that novelty architecture is essentially usable buildings in eccentric form whereas follies are non-usable, purely ornamental buildings also often in eccentric form.
2MASS
The Two Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) was an astronomical survey of the whole sky in infrared light. It took place between 1997 and 2001, in two different locations: at the U.S. Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory on Mount Hopkins, Arizona, and at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile, each using a 1.3-meter telescope for the Northern and Southern Hemisphere, respectively. It was conducted in the short-wavelength infrared at three distinct frequency bands (J, H, and K) near 2 micrometres, from which the photometric survey with its HgCdTe detectors derives its name.

2MASS produced an astronomical catalog with over 300 million observed objects, including minor planets of the Solar System, brown dwarfs, low-mass stars, nebulae,  star clusters and galaxies. In addition, 1 million objects were cataloged in the 2MASS Extended Source Catalog (2MASX). The cataloged objects are designated with a "2MASS" and "2MASX" prefix, respectively.

Hemispheres of Earth
In geography and cartography, hemispheres of Earth are any division of the globe into two equal halves (hemispheres), typically divided into northern and southern halves by the Equator and into western and eastern halves by the Prime meridian. Hemispheres can be divided geographically or culturally, or based on religion or prominent geographic features. Use of these divisions is applied when studying Earth's geographic distribution, cultural differences, and other geographic, demographic and socioeconomic features.

Six Degrees Architects
Six Degrees Architects is an Australian architectural practice based in Melbourne, Victoria. It was formed in 1991 by six architecture graduates sharing a studio in Richmond.

The "Six Degrees" name was inspired by the Nylex Clock in Richmond, which displayed a cold 6°C one night. The name also circumvented the requirement for architectural registration in the early years of their practice, and was a reflection of the status of the six partners having six Bachelor of Architecture degrees. Recycled and salvaged materials became part of their architectural language. This approach played out in their self-funded project, Meyers Place Bar, which later received the inaugural Melbourne Prize in 1997.

Nylex Clock
The Nylex Clock is heritage listed as an iconic feature of Melbourne, Australia and is considered part of the popular culture of the city. It is neon sign sitting atop malting storage silos in the suburb of Cremorne.

The text also alternates displaying the words Nylex Plastics that changes to 'Nylex Every Time!'. It is visible from many parts of Melbourne. This linkage is referred to in the song "Leaps and Bounds" by musician Paul Kelly and was once climbed by Brisbane-based activists Freshellen Frew, Ag Heard and several other Melbourne-based activists.

Rayong Power Plant
The Rayong Power Plant, officially known as the Gulf PD Power Plant, is a large gas-fired combined-cycle independent power producer (IPP) facility located in Rayong Province, Thailand. The project forms part of a twin-site 5,300 MW development (Rayong + Chonburi) under Thailand's Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) program, supplying power to the national grid through a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) with the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT).

Independent power producer
An independent power producer (IPP) or non-utility generator (NUG) is an entity that is not a public utility but owns facilities to generate electric power for sale to utilities and end users. NUGs may be privately held facilities, corporations, cooperatives such as rural solar or wind energy producers, and non-energy industrial concerns capable of feeding excess energy into the system.

An independent water and power producer (IWPP) is similar to an IPP, but with a unified process to also output usable treated water.

Median
The median of a set of numbers is the value separating the higher half from the lower half of a data sample, a population, or a probability distribution. For a data set, it may be thought of as the “middle" value. The basic feature of the median in describing data compared to the mean (often simply described as the "average") is that it is not skewed by a small proportion of extreme values, and therefore provides a better representation of the center. Median income, for example, may be a better way to describe the center of the income distribution because increases in the largest incomes alone have no effect on the median. For this reason, the median is of central importance in robust statistics.
Median is a 2-quantile; it is the value that partitions a set into two equal parts.
