1981 Seattle Mariners season
The 1981 Seattle Mariners season was their fifth since the franchise creation, and were sixth in the American League West at 44–65 (.404).

1981 Major League Baseball strike
The 1981 Major League Baseball strike was the first work stoppage in Major League Baseball since the 1972 Major League Baseball strike that caused regular season games to be cancelled. It was the fourth work stoppage since 1972, but actions in 1973, 1976, and 1980 cancelled no regular-season games. The strike began on June 12 and forced the cancellation of 712 games—nearly 34 percent of the Major League schedule—in the middle of the season. The two sides reached an agreement on July 31. Play resumed on August 9 with the All-Star Game; regular-season games resumed the following day.

An estimated US$146 million was lost in player salaries, ticket sales, broadcast revenues, and concession revenues. The players lost $4 million a week in salaries while the 30 owners lost a total of $72 million.

Metallurgy in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica
The emergence of metallurgy in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica occurred relatively late in the region's history, with distinctive works of metal apparent in West Mexico by roughly 800 CE, and perhaps as early as 600 CE.  Metallurgical techniques likely diffused northward from regions in Central or South America via maritime trade routes; recipients of these metallurgical technologies apparently exploited a wide range of material, including alloys of copper-silver, copper-arsenic, copper-tin and copper-arsenic-tin.

Metal items crafted throughout Mesoamerica may be broken into three classes: utilitarian objects, objects used for individual ornamentation, and ceremonial/ritual objects. The latter two categories comprise the bulk of distinctly Mesoamerican artifacts, with metals playing a particularly important role in the sacred and symbolic cultural realms.

Geography of Mesoamerica
The geography of Mesoamerica describes the geographic features of Mesoamerica, a culture area in the Americas inhabited by complex indigenous pre-Columbian cultures exhibiting a suite of shared and common cultural characteristics.  Several well-known Mesoamerican cultures include the Olmec, Teotihuacan, the Maya, the Aztec and the Purépecha.  Mesoamerica is often subdivided in a number of ways.  One common method, albeit a broad and general classification, is to distinguish between the highlands and lowlands.  Another way is to subdivide the region into sub-areas that generally correlate to either culture areas or specific physiographic regions.

LHS 288
LHS 288 (Luyten 143-23) is a red dwarf star in the constellation Carina. At a distance of 15.759 light-years, it is among the nearest stars, and is the closest in the constellation. Despite its distance, the star is far too faint to be seen with the unaided eye, with an apparent magnitude of 13.92.

The spectrum of this star matches a spectral class of M5V, similar to the class of Proxima Centauri. This star has an estimated 0.109 times the Sun's mass, 0.126 times the Sun's radius, and just 1.15% of the solar luminosity. At an effective temperature of 2,760±150 K, it radiates a reddish hue.

A 2007 study suggested that LHS 288 may harbour a planet with a mass of 2.4 MJ based on astrometric observations, but the possibility that it passed over an undetected faint star, which could mimic the astrometric variation caused by a planet, could not be eliminated.

Naked eye
Naked eye, also called bare eye or unaided eye, is the practice of engaging in visual perception unaided by a magnifying, light-collecting optical instrument, such as a telescope or microscope, or eye protection.

In astronomy, the naked eye may be used to observe celestial events and objects visible without equipment, such as conjunctions, passing comets, meteor showers, and the brightest asteroids, including 4 Vesta. Sky lore and various tests demonstrate an impressive variety of phenomena visible to the unaided eye.

Plum
A plum is a fruit of some species in Prunus subg. Prunus. Dried plums are usually called prunes.

Plums are likely to have been one of the first fruits domesticated by humans, with origins in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus Mountains and China. They were brought to Britain from Asia, and their cultivation has been documented in Andalusia, southern Spain. Plums are a diverse group of species, with trees reaching a height of 5–6 metres (16–20 ft) when pruned. The fruit is a drupe, with a firm and juicy flesh.  Plums can be eaten fresh, dried to make prunes, used in jams, or fermented into wine and distilled into brandy. Plum seeds (also called kernels) contain the cyanide-like poison, amygdalin, a cyanogenic glycoside.

In 2023, China produced 55% of the world total of plums. Japanese or Chinese plums dominate the fresh fruit market, while European plums are also common in some regions.

Alongside human and animal healthcare providers, they may carry out various functions as medical scientists, veterinary scientists, pathologists, or diagnostic technicians in locations like clinics, blood banks, hospitals, laboratories and animal hospitals.
