Tūnui-ā-rangi
In Māori tradition, Tūnui-ā-rangi was one of the great ocean-going, voyaging canoes (or waka) that was used in the migrations that settled Aotearoa (New Zealand). The waka is linked to the Ngāi Tāhuhu iwi of the Auckland and Northland regions.

The Tūnui-ā-rangi is said to have landed at Motu Kōkako (Piercy Island) in the Bay of Islands. It then traveled south to Ngunguru and Whangārei.

Auckland Region
Auckland (Māori: Tāmaki Makaurau) is one of the 16 regions of New Zealand, which takes its name from the eponymous urban area. The region encompasses the Auckland metropolitan area, smaller towns, rural areas, and the islands of the Hauraki Gulf. Containing 34 percent of the nation's residents, it has by far the largest population and economy of any region of New Zealand, but the second-smallest land area.

On 1 November 2010, the Auckland region became a unitary authority administered by the Auckland Council, replacing the previous regional council and seven local councils. In the process, an area in its southeastern corner was transferred to the neighbouring Waikato region. Since then, the Auckland Council has introduced a system of local boards to divide the region for local government.
Liberal Era (Ecuador)
The Liberal Era (1895–1925) was a period during which Ecuador was governed by the Liberal Party. It began with the Liberal Revolution of 1895, led by Eloy Alfaro, who assumed office as Supreme Chief. The era ended in 1925 with the July Revolution, a military coup that removed the Liberals from power in response to a severe economic crisis.

Alfaro's administration sought to reduce the influence of the Catholic Church by reversing many of the privileges it had received during the conservative governments of President Gabriel García Moreno (1861–1875). Major reforms included the separation of church and state, the secularization of public education, and the legalization of civil marriage and divorce.

Catholic officials and their Conservative allies resisted these changes through political opposition, public denunciations, and armed uprisings.

Gabriel García Moreno
Gabriel Gregorio Fernando José María García Moreno y Morán de Butrón (24 December 1821 – 6 August 1875), was an Ecuadorian politician and aristocrat who twice served as President of Ecuador (1861–65 and 1869–75) and was assassinated during his second term after being elected to a third.

He has been described as a dictator and caudillo. García Moreno was a conservative and centralist who supported state building and strong executive power. He was involved in the Battle of Cuaspud (6 December 1863) alongside General Juan José Flores, where an unexpected Ecuadoran defeat ended their project of military and political consolidation, drastically reducing Ecuador’s army and weakening their centralization efforts.

He is noted for his conservatism, nationalism, Catholic religious perspective and rivalry with liberal strongman Eloy Alfaro.
Cycloplegia
Cycloplegia is paralysis of the ciliary muscle of the eye, resulting in a loss of accommodation.  Because of the paralysis of the ciliary muscle, the curvature of the lens can no longer be adjusted to focus on nearby objects. This results in similar problems as those caused by presbyopia, in which the lens has lost elasticity and can also no longer focus on close-by objects. Cycloplegia with accompanying mydriasis (dilation of pupil) is usually due to topical application of muscarinic antagonists such as atropine and cyclopentolate.

Belladonna alkaloids are used for testing the error of refraction and examination of eye.

Paralysis
Paralysis (pl.: paralyses; also known as plegia) is a loss of motor function in one or more muscles. Paralysis can also be accompanied by a loss of feeling (sensory loss) in the affected area if there is sensory damage. In the United States, roughly 1 in 50 people have been diagnosed with some form of permanent or transient paralysis. The word "paralysis" derives from the Greek παράλυσις, meaning "disabling of the nerves" from παρά (para) meaning "beside, by" and λύσις (lysis) meaning "making loose". A paralysis accompanied by involuntary tremors is usually called "palsy".

Organotrifluoroborate
Organotrifluoroborates are organoboron compounds that contain an anion with the general formula [RBF3]−. They can be thought of as protected boronic acids, or as adducts of carbanions and boron trifluoride. Organotrifluoroborates are tolerant of air and moisture and are easy to handle and purify. They are often used in organic synthesis as alternatives to boronic acids (RB(OH)2), boronate esters (RB(OR′)2), and organoboranes (R3B), particularly for Suzuki-Miyaura coupling.

Boron trifluoride
Boron trifluoride is the inorganic compound with the formula BF3. This pungent, colourless, and toxic gas forms white fumes in moist air. It is a useful Lewis acid and a versatile building block for other boron compounds.

French naval mission to Greece (1884–1890)
The 1884–1890 French naval mission to Greece was invited to the country by the government of Charilaos Trikoupis to reorganize the Royal Hellenic Navy, in parallel to a military mission for the Hellenic Army. The naval mission, headed by Rear Admiral Laurent Joseph Lejeune, arrived in Greece in December 1884, and remained in the country until 1890.

Among its major achievements were the establishment of a separate Naval Academy in 1884, administrative and legislative reforms, and the modernization in training and service regulations, including the establishments of a naval training centre at Poros Island and a naval hospital. Under the influence of the French mission, the Greek government engaged in major arms purchases from France: the three new Hydra-class ironclads, as well as the older cruiser Navarchos Miaoulis.

Greek cruiser Navarchos Miaoulis

♭VII–V7 cadence
In music, the ♭VII–V7 cadence is a cadence using the chord progression from the subtonic (♭VII) to the dominant seventh (V7). It resolves to I making the full cadence ♭VII–V7–I.

A "mainstay in all rock styles of the '60s", the cadence, heard perhaps most canonically (and often) in Billy J. Kramer's "Little Children", can also be found in such hits as Otis Redding's "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay", Link Wray and His Ray Men's "Rumble", Duane Eddy's "Because They're Young", the Velvet Underground & Nico's "Sunday Morning" and "Femme Fatale", Joan Baez's "Fare Thee Well", and Al Caiola's 1961 "The Magnificent Seven" (0:15-0:17) and "Bonanza" (0:26-0:27).

The cadence has also been considered an important harmonic technique used in film scores. Though it is particularly frequent in scores to Westerns, it is present throughout the genre.

Ghadam-Ali Sarami
Ghadam-Ali Sarami (Persian: قدمعلی سرّامی, also Romanized as Ghadam-Ali Sarrami) is an Iranian author and poet. He was born in Ramhormoz, a small town in Khuzestan Province, southwest of Iran. In 1986, he received a Ph.D. in Persian language and literature from University of Tehran, Iran.

Tarikh-i Bayhaqi
Tārīkh-i Bayhaqī (Persian: تاریخ بیهقی; lit. 'Bayhaqi's History') is a history book written by Abul-Fazl Bayhaqi, in Persian, in the 11th century CE. Much of this voluminous work is lost, but it remains one of the most important sources concerning the history of the Ghaznavid Empire.

The work is more than a history book. Its detailed descriptions and unique style of narration of the historical events has made it similar to a "historical novel" and one of the masterpieces of Persian literature. The work was written at the Ghaznavid chancellery in order to frame the Turkic-origin Ghaznavid rulers in line with Iranian kings.
