2008 California Proposition 11
Proposition 11 of 2008 (or the Voters FIRST Act) was a law enacted in the US state of California that placed the power to draw electoral boundaries for State Assembly and State Senate districts in a Citizens Redistricting Commission, as opposed to the State Legislature. To do this the Act amended both the Constitution of California and the Government Code. The law was proposed by means of the initiative process and was put to voters as part of the November 4, 2008 state elections. In 2010, voters passed Proposition 20 which extended the Citizen Redistricting Commission's power to draw electoral boundaries to include U.S. House seats as well.

Abeo-HHC acetate is a semi-synthetic derivative of tetrahydrocannabinol, first described in the 1980s. It is synthesised from delta-11-tetrahydrocannabinol, which can be made to undergo a ring expansion reaction via a hydrazone intermediate. It is structurally similar to HHC-acetate except that the methylated cyclohexyl ring has been replaced by a cycloheptane.

Ibn Lankak
Abu ʾl-Ḥasan Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad ibn Jaʿfar al-Baṣrī ibn Lankak (Arabic: ابن لنكك, d. c. 360 AH/970 CE) was a poet from Basra. His epithet ibn Lankak literally means "the son of the little lame man". He is known to have spent time in Baghdad: when al-Mutanabbī visited the city in 351/962, Ibn Lankak addressed a number of epigrams to him. A dīwān of ibn Lankak's poetry is known to have existed, being mentioned by al-Ṣāḥib Ibn ʿAbbād, but today few poems are known, principally from Abū Manṣūr al-Thaʿālibī's Kitāb Yatīmat al-dahr fī mahāsin ahl al-ʿaṣr. In the estimation of Charles Pellat, Ibn Lankak's surviving works "show him to have had a tendency to be pessimistic and critical: he complains of contemporary poets who deprive him of the glory which he considered his right, of his native town, and above all of fate in general, although he admits in a famous verse that human beings are responsible for their own misfortunes".

Al-Tha'alibi
Abū Manṣūr ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Muḥammad ibn Ismāʿīl al-Thaʿālibī (أبو منصور الثعالبي، عبد الملك بن محمد بن إسماعيل) (961–1038), was an Arab writer famous for his anthologies and collections of epigrams. As a writer of prose and verse in his own right, distinction between his and the work of others is sometimes lacking, as was the practice of writers of the time.

United States G-class submarine
The G-class submarines were a class of four United States Navy submarines. While the four G boats were nominally all of a class, they differed enough in significant details that they are sometimes considered to be four unique boats, each in a class by herself.

G-1, G-2, and G-3, were designed by Simon Lake, of the Lake Torpedo Boat Company, while G-4 was designed by American Laurenti. G-1 and G-2 were built by Newport News, G-3 by Lake, completed at the New York Navy Yard due to Lake's temporary dissolution, and G-4 by Cramp.
