Rebecca Mariani
Rebecca Mariani (born November 2, 2006 in Pieve di Cadore) is an Italian curler from Pinerolo. She currently skips the Italian national junior women's curling team. She was controversially chosen as the alternate for the Italian women's team at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

Pieve di Cadore
Pieve di Cadore is a comune (municipality) in the province of Belluno in the Italian region of Veneto, about 110 kilometres (68 miles) north of Venice and about 35 km (22 miles) northeast of Belluno. "Pieve" means "Parish church". It is the birthplace of the Italian painter Titian; the house where he was born remains largely intact, and is a small museum.

With its strategic location, the town was a medieval stronghold with fortifications, called the "walled city of the Veneto." The main sight is the Palazzo della Magnifica Comunità ("Palace of the Magnificent Community"), built in 1447 by the eponymous council which then ruled the city. It has a merloned tower which was completed in 1491.
Shimada Mitsufusa
Shimada Mitsufusa (島田 充房) was an 18th-century Japanese botanical illustrator best known for his work, Ka-i 花彙, portraying Japanese flora with 200 woodcut plates in 8 volumes. The first volume was published in Edo in 1759, but after completing the second volume Mitsufusa found the work too taxing and enlisted the aid of Ono Ranzan. Ludovic Savatier (1830-1891) translated the work into French, a version published in 1875. This work, together with two other Japanese works by Iwasaki Tsunemasa and Iinuma Yokusai, was the basis of Franchet and Savatier's 'Enumeratio Plantarum in Japonia Sponte Crescentium' (1875–79).

Iinuma Yokusai
Iinuma Yokusai (飯沼 慾斎; 1782–1865) was a Japanese botanist and physician. The standard author abbreviation Iinuma is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.

Iinuma studied botany under Ono Ranzan. He spoke Dutch and was a practitioner of Western medicine. In 1856 he published the Somoku-zusetsu, the first botanical encyclopedia in Japan to use Linnaean taxonomy. The strawberry species Fragaria iinumae is named after him.
HMS Centaur (1797)

She was broken up in 1819.

Baltic region
The Baltic Sea Region, alternatively the Baltic Rim countries (or simply the Baltic Rim), and the Baltic Sea countries/states, refers to the general area surrounding the Baltic Sea, including parts of Northern, Central and Eastern Europe.

Mitio Nagumo
Mitio (Michio) Nagumo (Japanese: 南雲 道夫; May 7, 1905 – February 6, 1995) was a Japanese mathematician, who specialized in the theory of differential equations. He gave the first necessary and sufficient condition for positive invariance of closed sets under the flow induced by ordinary differential equations (Nagumo/Bony-Brezis theorem).

Closed set
In geometry, topology, and related branches of mathematics, a closed set is a set whose complement is an open set. In a topological space, a closed set can be defined as a set which contains all its limit points. In a complete metric space, a closed set is a set which is closed under the limit operation. This should not be confused with closed manifold.

Sets that are both open and closed are called clopen sets.

Television in Canada
Television in Canada officially began with the sign-on of the nation's first television stations in Montreal and Toronto in 1952. As with most media in Canada, the television industry, and the television programming available in that country, are strongly influenced by media in the United States and the United Kingdom, perhaps to an extent not seen in any other major industrialized nation. As a result, the government institutes quotas for "Canadian content". Nonetheless, new content is often aimed at a broader North American audience, although the similarities may be less pronounced in the predominantly French-language province of Quebec.

Tasman Sea
The Tasman Sea is a marginal sea of the South Pacific Ocean, situated between Australia and New Zealand. It measures about 2,000 km (1,200 mi) across and about 2,800 km (1,700 mi) from north to south. The sea was named after the Dutch explorer Abel Janszoon Tasman, who in 1642 was the first known European to cross it. British explorer Lieutenant James Cook later extensively navigated the Tasman Sea in the 1770s during his three voyages of exploration.

The Māori people of New Zealand call this sea Te Moana-a-Rehua meaning 'the sea of Rehua' which clashes with the Pacific waters named Te Tai-o-Whitirea ('the sea of Whitirea') – after Whitirea, Rehua's lover – at Cape Reinga, the northernmost tip of North Island.

Khurshid  supported various rebellions and maintained diplomatic contacts with Tang China. Finally, the Abbasids conquered his country in 759–760, and captured most members of his family. Khurshid fled to Daylam, where he ended his life.

It is associated with many other disciplines, such as mineral processing, exploration, excavation, geology, metallurgy, geotechnical engineering and surveying. A mining engineer may manage any phase of mining operations, from exploration and discovery of the mineral resources, through feasibility study, mine design, development of plans, production and operations to mine closure.
