Hydroxybutyric acid
The Hydroxybutyric acids form a group of four-carbon organic compounds that have both hydroxy and carboxylic acid functional groups.  They can be viewed as derivatives of butyric acid.  The carboxylate anion and the esters of hydroxybutyric acids are known as hydroxybutyrates. β-hydroxybutyric acid is relevant to human health as it is a member of a class of products of fatty acid oxidation referred to as ketone bodies.

The isomers are distinguished by the distance between the two functional groups and the branching.

alpha-Hydroxybutyric acid (2-Hydroxybutyric acid)

beta-Hydroxybutyric acid (3-Hydroxybutyric acid)

gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid (4-Hydroxybutyric acid, GHB)

2-Hydroxyisobutyric acid

Northern Nigeria Protectorate
Northern Nigeria (Hausa: Arewacin Najeriya) was a British protectorate which lasted from 1900 until 1914, and covered the northern part of what is now Nigeria.

The protectorate spanned 660,000 square kilometres (255,000 sq mi) and included the emirates of the Sokoto Caliphate and parts of the former Bornu Empire, conquered in 1902. The first High Commissioner of the protectorate was Frederick Lugard, who suppressed slavery and tribal raiding and created a system of administration built around native authorities.

The Protectorate was ended on 1 January 1914, when its area was unified with the Southern Nigeria Protectorate and the Lagos Colony, becoming the Northern Province of the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria.

Researcher (dragster)
Researcher is a streamliner dragster, sponsored by National Speed Products.

Designed by Chuck Tanko in 1971, the car was a fairly conventional rear-engined dragster, except for a winglet (similar to the one Tony Nancy used the same year) between the front wheels. It used a Race Car Specialties chassis with a 254 in (6,500 mm) wheelbase (long, by the standards of the era) and was bodied in aluminum by Kenny Ellis, who also drove it. In testing, it ran 7.20 seconds at 210 mph (340 km/h). Powered by a 465 cu in (7,620 cc) Chrysler hemi, it qualified for the last-ever NHRA Top Gas event, the 1971 NHRA Supernationals at Ontario, California.

Streamliner
A streamliner is a vehicle incorporating streamlining in a shape providing reduced air resistance. The term is applied to high-speed railway trainsets of the 1930s to 1950s, and to their successor "bullet trains". Less commonly, the term is applied to fully faired upright and recumbent bicycles. As part of the Streamline Moderne trend, the term was applied to passenger cars, trucks, and other types of light-, medium-, or heavy-duty vehicles, but now vehicle streamlining is so prevalent that it is not an outstanding characteristic. In land speed racing, it is a term applied to the long, slender, custom-built, high-speed vehicles with enclosed wheels.
