Operator algebra
In functional analysis, a branch of mathematics, an operator algebra is an algebra of continuous linear operators on a topological vector space, with the multiplication given by the composition of mappings.

The results obtained in the study of operator algebras are often phrased in algebraic terms, while the techniques used are often highly analytic.  Although the study of operator algebras is usually classified as a branch of functional analysis, it has direct applications to representation theory, differential geometry, quantum statistical mechanics, quantum information, and quantum field theory.

Monte Carlo method
Monte Carlo methods, also called the Monte Carlo experiments or Monte Carlo simulations, are a broad class of computational algorithms based on repeated random sampling for obtaining numerical results. The underlying concept is to use randomness to solve deterministic problems.

Monte Carlo methods are mainly used in three distinct problem classes: optimization, numerical integration, and non-uniform random variate generation, available for modeling phenomena with significant input uncertainties, e.g. risk assessments for nuclear power plants. Monte Carlo methods are often implemented using computer simulations. They can provide approximate solutions to problems too complex for mathematical analysis.
Albania at the 2024 Summer Olympics
Albania competed at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris from 26 July to 11 August 2024, represented by the Albanian National Olympic Committee (KOKSH). It signified the nation's tenth appearance at the summer Olympics, since the official debut in 1972, except for 1976,  1980 due to the US led boycott, 1984 due to USSR led boycott, 1988,  the nation's return for the Olympics in 1992.

Albania earned their first Olympic medals in any sport, with wrestler Chermen Valiev winning bronze in the men's freestyle 74 kg category, and later earning their second bronze won by fellow wrestler Islam Dudaev in the men's freestyle 65 kg category.

1980 Summer Olympics boycott
The United States led the 1980 Summer Olympics boycott to protest against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. More than 60 countries joined the boycott to varying degrees, affecting athletes, fans, and international relations. The absence of so many competitors changed the outcomes of some events, led to alternative competitions, and influenced the 1984 Olympics, which the Soviets later boycotted. The Soviet Union, which hosted the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, and its satellite states later boycotted the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
Wirot Nutaphand

Zookeeper
A zookeeper, sometimes referred as animal keeper, is a person who manages zoo animals that are kept in captivity for conservation or to be displayed to the public. They are usually responsible for the feeding and daily care of the animals. As part of their routine, the zookeepers may clean the exhibits and report health problems. They may also be involved in scientific research or public education, such as conducting tours and answering questions.
Persecutions of the Catholic Church and Pius XII
Persecutions against the Catholic Church took place during the papacy of Pope Pius XII (1939–1958). Pius' reign coincided with World War II (1939–1945), followed by the commencement of the Cold War and the accelerating European decolonisation. During his papacy, the Catholic Church faced persecution under Fascist and Communist governments.

The Nazi persecution of the church was at its most extreme in Occupied Poland. The defeat of Fascism at the end of World War II ended one set of persecutions, but strengthened the position of Communism throughout the world, intensifying a further set of persecutions – notably in Eastern Europe, the USSR, and, later, the People's Republic of China. The Catholic Church was under attack in all Communist governed countries and lost most of its existence in Albania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Romania, Communist China and the Soviet Union (including Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania).

Decolonisation of Africa
The decolonisation of Africa was a series of political developments in Africa between the mid-1950s to 1975, during the Cold War. Colonial governments formed during the Scramble for Africa collapsed, giving way to sovereign states in a process characterised by violence, political upheaval, civil unrest, and organised revolts. Major events during the decolonisation of Africa include the Mau Mau rebellion, the Algerian War, the Congo Crisis, the Angolan War of Independence, the Zanzibar Revolution, and the events leading to the Nigerian Civil War.
Verano de Escándalo (2006)
The 2006  Verano de Escándalo  (Spanish for "Summer of Scandal") was the tenth  annual  Verano de Escándalo professional wrestling show promoted by AAA. The show took place on September 17, 2006, in Naucalpan like the previous year's event. The main event featured a six-man "Lucha Libre rules" tag team match between the AAA Loyalist team of Gronda, Octagón, and La Parka and the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) representatives Jeff Jarrett, Abyss, and Konnan.

La Parka (wrestler)
Jesús Alfonso Huerta Escoboza (January 4, 1966 – January 11, 2020), better known as La Parka, was a Mexican luchador enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler, who worked for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion AAA from the mid-1990s until 2019. On January 11, 2020, Huerta died from complications arising from injuries that he sustained from a botched move during an October 2019 match.

Escoboza was not the first wrestler to use the ring name "La Parka". Adolfo Tapia was the original La Parka but did not own either the name or the character. In the late 1990s, Escoboza was billed as La Parka Jr. and then in 2003 he became the "official" La Parka while Tapia was forced to stop using the name and instead became known as L.A. Park. On March 22, 2025, AAA introduced a third La Parka portrayed by Brazo de Oro Jr. (II).

In 2020, he was posthumously inducted into the AAA Hall of Fame.

Salvamento Marítimo Humanitario
Salvamento Marítimo Humanitario  (Humanitarian Maritime Rescue) (SMH) is a Non-governmental organization (NGO) that is governed by the principles of "volunteering, solidarity, humanity, universality, equality, impartiality and dignity" founded in Zarautz (Gipuzkoa) in 2015.

It was created as a rescue group to reinforce the response in the massive arrivals of inflatable dinghies with migrants on the island of Chios, in the Aegean Sea. After the pact of the European Union and Turkey and the consequent reduction in arrivals, the project in Greece adapted to new needs and transformed into a health team. In May 2017, SMH reached a collaboration agreement with another rescue NGO, Proem-Aid, to found the 'Maydayterraneo-Aita Mari' project. This initiative consists of a rescue ship in the Central Mediterranean, in international waters off the coast of Libya. As of 2021, SMH operates the Aita Mari rescue ship. The Aita Mari can be followed on the Vessel Tracker website.
