Vulture (ship)
Several ships have been named Vulture for the vulture, a scavenging bird of prey:

Vulture (1779 ship) was launched in France in 1777, captured, and became first a Liverpool privateer and then slave ship. She made some 10 voyages carrying slaves until the French captured her in 1794 early into her eleventh such voyage.

Vulture was the French privateer Vautour launched in 1797 at Nantes that made three privateering voyages. The Royal Navy captured her in 1800 during her fourth cruise. Private owners acquired her prior to late 1801 and employed her as the whaler Vulture (English for vautour) in the South Seas whale fisheries between 1801 and 1809. A Spanish privateer captured her in 1809.

Vulture (1798 ship) was a French prize that was in British hands by 1798. She is no longer listed after 1804.

PS Vulture (1864), a paddle steamer used as a blockade runner during the American Civil War.

Slave ship
Slave ships were large cargo ships specially built or converted from the 17th to the 19th century for transporting slaves. Such ships were also known as "Guineamen" because the trade involved human trafficking to and from the Guinea coast in West Africa.
Monika Rubin
Monika Rubin (born 20 December 1987) is a Danish politician and Member of the Folketing for Copenhagen from the Moderates. Alongside sixteen other members of The Moderates, Rubin was elected to the Folketing in November 2022.

Member of the Folketing
Members of the Folketing (Danish: Folketingsmedlem, lit. 'Medlem af Folketinget') are members of the Danish parliament, known as the Folketing. The title is frequently shortened to the initialism MF. The term of office is up to 4 years, but usually shorter as the prime minister can call a snap election at any time before the full term is up.

Since the general election on 22 September 1953, which was the first under the Constitution of 1953, there have been 179 members of parliament in each session. 175 are elected in Denmark proper, while two each are elected in Greenland and the Faroe Islands, known collectively as the North Atlantic mandates (da). When someone ceases to be an MF, other members of their party who didn't win a seat at the most recent election are offered to take their place as substitutes, making by-elections unnecessary. The current MFs were elected in the general election on 1 November 2022
State Antitrust Enforcement Venue Act of 2021
The State Antitrust Enforcement Venue Act of 2021 is an antitrust bill in the United States Congress. The legislation was introduced in the House of Representatives by Ken Buck (R-CO) as H.R. 3460 on May 21, 2021. Companion legislation was introduced in the Senate by Mike Lee (R-UT) as S. 1787 on May 24, 2021.

The legislation would prevent antitrust lawsuits filed by multiple state attorneys general (state AGs) from being consolidated or transferred to a separate venue at the request of a company. Proponents of the bill argue that the current law helps companies accused of anti-competitive conduct by allowing suits to be consolidated or transferred in a more favorable venue at their request.

On June 14, 2022, the Senate passed the legislation by voice vote. The act was later consolidated into the 2022 omnibus spending bill and signed into law on Dec. 29th 2022.

Bill (law)
A bill is a proposal for a new law, or a proposal to substantially alter an existing law.

A bill does not become law until it has been passed by the legislature and, in most cases, approved by the head of state (sometimes the executive).

Bills are introduced in the legislature and are there discussed, debated on, and voted upon.  Once a bill has been enacted into law by the legislature, it is called an act of the legislature, or a statute.
Kupchino (Saint Petersburg Metro)
Kupchino (Russian: Ку́пчино) is a station on the Moskovsko-Petrogradskaya Line of the Saint Petersburg Metro. It was opened on December 25, 1972. It was designed by K.N. Afonskya, A.C. Getskin and I.E. Sergeyeva. According to the original plans, the station was initially supposed to be called "Vitebskaya". The station received its final name after a small village Kupchino, that is located 2 km to the North of the station.

Kupchino is the oldest surviving above-ground station in Saint Peterburg (the since-demolished Dachnoye predates it by several years). It has a transfer link-up to Kupchino Station of the Vitebskya Railroad. It also has two exits to outside the station, as well as a long tunnel that leads to Vitebsky Prospect.

Port Arthur, Ontario
Port Arthur was a city in Northern Ontario, Canada, located on Lake Superior. In January 1970, it was amalgamated with Fort William and the townships of Neebing and McIntyre to form the city of Thunder Bay.

Port Arthur became the district seat of Thunder Bay District with the appointment in June 1871 of Delevan Decatur Van Norman as the district's first stipendiary magistrate. It is historically notable as a temporary (1882–1885) eastern terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). It served as a major transshipment point for lakers that carried cargo to Port Arthur from across the Great Lakes. CPR's completion to the east did little to affect the city's importance for shipping; the Canadian Northern Railway was constructed to serve the port, and it built numerous grain silos to supply lakers. This rail and grain trade diminished in the latter half of the 20th century.
