Ruthsburg, Maryland
Ruthsburg is an unincorporated community in Queen Anne's County, Maryland, United States. Ruthsburg made national headlines in 2009, when the proposed creation of a U.S. State Department training center spurred unexpected controversy between those who believed it would have devastated neighboring Tuckahoe State Park, the Chesapeake Bay, wildlife, agriculture, communities, and the region as a whole and those who believed it would lead to economic benefits for local businesses, including local firms involved in the construction of the facility.  A total of 500 new jobs were forecasted to be brought by the facility, and additional new people brought to the area as transfers who would then be participants in the local economy. In mid-2010, the State Department scrapped plans for the facility.

Hawkins Pharsalia and the Thomas House are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Second
The second (symbol: s) is a unit of time derived from the division of the day, first into hours, then into minutes, and lastly into seconds, for a total of 24 × 60 × 60 = 86,400 seconds per day. The definition that is based on 1⁄86400 of a rotation of the earth is still used by the Universal Time 1 (UT1) system.

The current and formal definition in the International System of Units (SI) is more precise:

The second [...] is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the caesium frequency, ΔνCs, the unperturbed ground-state hyperfine transition frequency of the caesium 133 atom, to be 9192631770 when expressed in the unit Hz, which is equal to s−1.

This current definition was adopted in 1967 when it became feasible to define the second based on fundamental properties of nature with caesium clocks. As the speed of Earth's rotation varies and is slowing ever so slightly, a leap second is added at irregular intervals to civil time to keep clocks in sync with Earth's rotation.

Tomás de Figueroa
Tomás de Figueroa y Caravaca  (c. 1747 – 1 April 1811) was a Spanish Army officer. He was active in the military outpost of Valdivia and later in Santiago as a royalist during the early phase of the Chilean struggle for independence.  He was born in Estepona, near Málaga in southern Spain. A soldier by profession, he had to migrate Chile in 1775 after having killed a man in a duel in Spain. In late 1792 he led Spanish forces that suppressed a Huilliche uprising around Río Bueno and Futahuillimapu in southern Chile. After leading a mutiny to restore colonial order in Santiago on 1 April 1811, he was summarily executed on the orders of pro-independence leader Juan Martínez de Rozas.

Royalist
A royalist supports a particular monarch as head of state for a particular kingdom, or of a particular dynastic claim. In the abstract, this position is royalism. It is distinct from monarchism, which advocates a monarchical system of government, but not necessarily a particular monarch. Most often, the term royalist is applied to a supporter of a current regime or one that has been recently overthrown to form a republic.

In the United Kingdom, the term is currently almost indistinguishable from "monarchist", as there are no significant rival claimants to the throne. Conversely, in 19th-century France, a royalist might be either a Legitimist, Bonapartist, or an Orléanist, all being monarchists.
