Round turn and two half-hitches
The round turn and two half hitches is a hitch used to secure the end of a rope to a fixed object.  The name refers to the components used to form the knot: a round turn wraps the rope around the object (completely encircling it) and the two half hitches secure the end around the standing part.  Variations of this hitch can be made with differing numbers of turns and half-hitches; an example is illustrated below.  With additional turns, it becomes a pipe hitch.

The Round Turn and Two Half Hitches is named by Steel in 1794. If a spar is small, a round turn is preferable to a single turn. It makes a stronger knot and dissipates the wear.— Clifford W Ashley, Ashley Book of Knots,

Rope
A rope is a group of yarns, plies, fibres, or strands that are twisted or braided together into a larger and stronger form. Ropes have high tensile strength and can be used for dragging and lifting. Rope is thicker and stronger than similarly constructed cord, string, and twine.
Mandalay State Beach
Mandalay State Beach is a protected beach in the city of Oxnard, California, United States. Managed by the California Department of Parks and Recreation, the park preserves an area of undeveloped sand dunes and wetlands that was once common along the 16.5-mile-long (26.6 km) coastline of the Oxnard Plain.: 62-63

Sand dune ecology
Sand dune ecology describes the  biological and physico-chemical interactions that are a characteristic of sand dunes.

Sand dune systems are excellent places for biodiversity, partly because they are not very productive for agriculture, and partly because disturbed, stressful, and stable habitats are present in proximity to each other. Many of them are protected as nature reserves, and some are parts of larger conservation areas, incorporating other coastal habitats like salt marshes, mud flats, grasslands, scrub, and woodland.
Dobbin Round Barn
The Dobbin Round Barn is a historic building located near State Center in rural Marshall County, Iowa, United States. The true round barn was built in 1919 by Ike Ingersol and Amos Thomson. It was built from a Gordon Van Tine Co. kit for $6,000. It features white vertical siding, a two-pitch roof, louvered cupola and a 12-foot (3.7 m) diameter central silo. The barn has a diameter of 60 feet (18 m). It was built as a dairy and horse barn. The barn has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1986. It is currently owned by Daniel Dobbin.

Silo
A silo (from Ancient Greek  σιρός (sirós) 'pit for holding grain') is a structure for storing bulk materials.

Silos are commonly used for bulk storage of grain, coal, cement, carbon black, woodchips, food products and sawdust. Three types of silos are in widespread use today: tower silos, bunker silos, and bag silos.

Silos are used in agriculture to store fermented feed known as silage.
Lidia (spider)
Lidia is a genus of Asian dwarf spiders that was first described by Michael I. Saaristo & Y. M. Marusik in 2004. As of May 2019 it contains only two species, both found in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan: L. molesta and L. tarabaevi.

Michael Saaristo
Michael I. Saaristo (1938 – 27 April 2008) was a Finnish arachnologist, with a particular interest in the spiders of the Seychelles. The World Spider Catalog lists 61 genus names or synonyms and 109 species names or synonyms of which he is the sole or co-author.

His account of the spiders of the Seychelles was published in 2010, after his death, with the assistance of Yuri M. Marusik.

The spider genera Saaristoa and Saaristattus were named after him. The World Spider Catalog lists 15 species with the specific name saaristoi, honouring him.
Grenville M. Dodge
Grenville Mellen Dodge (April 12, 1831  – January 3, 1916) was a Union Army general on the frontier and a pioneering figure in military intelligence during the Civil War, who served as Ulysses S. Grant's intelligence chief in the Western Theater. He served in several notable assignments, including command of the XVI Corps during the Atlanta campaign.

He later commanded troops against Native Americans and served as a US Congressman, businessman, and railroad executive who helped direct the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad. Historian Stanley P. Hirshon suggested that Dodge, "by virtue of the range of his abilities and activities," could be considered "more important in the national life after the Civil War than his more famous colleagues and friends, Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan."

Widely known as a man with a fearsome reputation, Gregg was considered a "hawk" in some loyalist circles.

Carrickfergus
Carrickfergus (from Irish Carraig Fhearghais [ˌkaːɾˠəɟ ˈaɾˠɣəʃ]ⓘ, meaning "Fergus' rock") is a large town in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. It sits on the north shore of Belfast Lough, 11 miles (18 km) from Belfast. The town had a population of 28,141 at the 2021 census. It is County Antrim's oldest town and one of the oldest towns in Ireland as a whole. Carrickfergus Castle, built in the late 12th century at the behest of Anglo-Norman knight John de Courcy, was the capital of the Earldom of Ulster. After the earldom's collapse, it remained the only English outpost in Ulster for the next four centuries. Carrickfergus was the administrative centre for Carrickfergus Borough Council, before this was amalgamated into the Mid and East Antrim District Council in 2015, and forms part of the Belfast Metropolitan Area. It is also a townland of 65 acres, a civil parish and a barony.

Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant

Inn National Progressive Party, Myanmar

Inositol-polyphosphate in chemistry (e.g. in INPP5E)

Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant
The Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant (Lithuanian: Ignalinos atominė elektrinė, IAE) is a decommissioned two-unit RBMK-1500 nuclear power station in Visaginas Municipality, Lithuania. It was named after the nearby city of Ignalina. Due to the plant's similarities to the infamous Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in both reactor design and lack of a robust containment building, Lithuania agreed to close the plant as part of its agreement of accession to the European Union. Unit 1 was closed in December 2004; Unit 2 in December 2009. The plant accounted for 25% of Lithuania's electricity generating capacity and supplied about 70% of Lithuania's electrical demand. It was closed on 31 December 2009. Proposals have been made to construct a new nuclear power plant at the site, but such plans have yet to come to fruition.
Tom Nairn
Thomas Cunningham Nairn (2 June 1932 – 21 January 2023) was a Scottish political theorist and academic. He was an Honorary Research Fellow in the School of Government and International Affairs at Durham University. He was known as an essayist and a supporter of Scottish independence.

Nairn was Scotland’s prominent political philosopher of modern times. His most famous book is The Break up of Britain 1977. (Nairn, T. (1977) The Break-up of Britain: Crisis and Neonationalism, London: NLB (2nd ed. 1981 Verso; 3rd 2003 Common Ground Pub) (paperback released in 1981)

Nairn writes that nationalism is both good and bad. He says that Scotland is different and uniquely moved to a modern state in the 1700s, with increased trade due to the union 1707. By contrast in Europe 1800s, nationalism took hold with the demise of empires, and the rise of nation states. Many European states used nationalism during the 1800s to deal with the uneven nature of capitalism.

Alberto Burri
Alberto Burri (12 March 1915 – 13 February 1995; Italian pronunciation: [alˈbɛrto ˈburri]) was an Italian visual artist, painter, sculptor, and physician based in Città di Castello. He is associated with the matterism of the European informal art movement and described his style as a polymaterialist. He had connections with Lucio Fontana's spatialism and, with Antoni Tàpies, an influence on the revival of the art of post-war assembly in the United States (Robert Rauschenberg) as in Europe.
Mozart and dance
The composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote much dance music in a variety of genres, including minuet, contredanse, and German dance. His dances encompass both independent works intended literally for dancing, and symphonic and other movements inspired by dance but intended for listening. Mozart was himself an enthusiastic dancer, with a high level of skill.

Leopold Mozart
Johann Georg Leopold Mozart (14 November 1719 – 28 May 1787) was a German composer, violinist, and music theorist. He is best known today as the father and teacher of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and for his violin textbook Versuch einer gründlichen Violinschule (1756).
Ernest Baldwin
Ernest Hubert Francis Baldwin (29 March 1909 – 7 December 1969) was an English biochemist, textbook author and pioneer in the field of comparative biochemistry.

Born in Gloucester, Baldwin attended the Crypt Grammar School followed by St. John's College, Cambridge.  He completed the natural sciences tripos, specialising in biochemistry for Part II.  He won a 1851 Exhibition scholarship for 1933–1935, remaining at Cambridge to study biochemistry.  His main influence there was the eminent biochemist Frederick Gowland Hopkins; he also worked with Joseph Needham and Dorothy Needham.

Natural Sciences Tripos
The Natural Sciences Tripos is the framework within which most of the science at the University of Cambridge is taught. The tripos includes a wide range of natural sciences from physics, astronomy, and geoscience, to chemistry and biology, which are taught alongside the history and philosophy of science. The tripos covers several courses which form the University of Cambridge system of Tripos. It is known for its broad range of study in the first year, in which students cannot study just one discipline, but instead must choose three courses in different areas of the natural sciences and one in mathematics.  As is traditional at Cambridge, the degree awarded after Part II (three years of study) is a Bachelor of Arts (BA). A Master of Natural Sciences degree (MSci) is available to those who take the optional Part III (one further year). It was started in the 19th century.
FIBT World Championships 1955
The FIBT World Championships 1955 took place in St. Moritz, Switzerland for the record seventh time. The Swiss city had hosted the event previously in 1931 (Four-man), 1935 (Four-man), 1937 (Four-man), 1938 (Two-man), 1939 (Two-man), and 1947.

Echinomycin
Echinomycin is a peptide antibiotic. It is a dimer of two peptides creating a cyclic structure. It contains a bicyclic aromatic chromophore that is attached to the dimerized cyclic peptide core and a thioacetal bridge. It intercalates into DNA at two specific sites, thereby blocking the binding of hypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF1alpha).

Hypoxia-inducible factor
Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are transcription factors that respond to decreases in available oxygen in the cellular environment, or hypoxia. They also respond to instances of pseudohypoxia, such as thiamine deficiency. Both hypoxia and pseudohypoxia leads to impairment of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production by the mitochondria.
Trần Lãm
Trần Lãm (chữ Hán: 陳覽, died 967) was a warlord of Vietnam during the Period of the 12 Warlords.

Lãm was an ethnic Việt. He held Bố Hải Khấu, Kỳ Bố, Thái Bình Province, and titled himself Trần Minh Công. He was one of strongest warlords of Vietnam in that time. Đinh Bộ Lĩnh swore allegiance to him, and became adoptive son of him. His territory and troops was annexed by Đinh Bộ Lĩnh after his death.

Chữ Hán
Chữ Hán (Vietnamese: 𡨸漢 [t͡ɕɯ˦ˀ˥ haːn˧˦] ⓘ, lit. 'Han characters') are the Chinese characters that were used to write Literary Chinese (Hán văn; 漢文) and Sino-Vietnamese vocabulary in Vietnamese. They were officially used in Vietnam after the Red River Delta region was annexed into the Han dynasty and continued to be used until the early 20th century.
Aribwatsa language
Aribwatsa, also known as Lae or Lahe, is an extinct member of the Busu subgroup of Lower Markham languages in the area of Lae, Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea. Descendants of the Aribwatsa-speaking community have mostly switched to the Bukawa language, which is spoken all along the north coast of the Huon Gulf and in several villages on the south coast. One old woman, Butoawê, remembered the language in 1997.

Lae

Pilestræde 41–45
Pilestræde 41–45 is a late 18th-century  building complex in the Old Town of Copenhagen, Denmark, constructed by master mason Johan Peter Boye Junge in 1784–1786, Junge was also responsible for the construction of the adjacent buildings at Pilestræde 37–39 as well as a number of buildings around the corner in Kronprinsensgade. The three buildings were merged into a single property in 1935 and 1962. Two detached warehouses in the courtyards on the rear are also part of the property. The entire building complex was listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1945. Johan Peter Boye Junge was himself a resident of Pilestræde 45 from 1798 to 1805. Other notable former residents include the Swedish military officer Curry Gabriel Treffenberg, clergyman and church historian Ludvig Helveg and ballet master at the Royal Danish Ballet August Bournonville.

Ballet master
A ballet master (also balletmaster, ballet mistress, premier maître de ballet or premier maître de ballet en chef) is an employee of a ballet company who is responsible for the level of competence of the dancers in their company. In modern times, ballet masters are generally charged with teaching the daily company ballet class and rehearsing the dancers for both new and established ballets in the company's repertoire. The artistic director of a ballet company, whether a male or female, may also be called its ballet master.  Historic use of gender marking in job titles in ballet (and live theatre) is being supplanted by gender-neutral language job titles regardless of an employee's gender (e.g. ballet master in lieu of ballet mistress, wig master as an alternative to wig mistress).
Charles F. Kimball
Charles Frederick Kimball (1831–1903) was a 19th-century American painter who focused on pastoral landscapes and marine art. He was also an etcher and a master cabinet maker. He was active in Portland, Maine.

Pastoral
The pastoral genre of literature, art, or music depicts an idealised form of the shepherd's lifestyle – herding livestock around open areas of land according to the seasons and the changing availability of water and pasture.  The target audience is typically an urban one. A pastoral is a work of this genre. A piece of music in the genre is usually referred to as a pastorale.

The genre is also known as bucolic, from the Greek βουκολικόν, from βουκόλος, meaning a cowherd.

Sexual system
A sexual system is a distribution of male and female functions across organisms in a species. The terms reproductive system and mating system have also been used as synonyms.

Sexual systems play a key role in genetic variation and reproductive success, and may also have led to the origin or extinction of certain species.  In flowering plants and animals, sexual reproduction involves meiosis, an adaptive process for repairing damage in the germline DNA transmitted to progeny. The distinctions between different sexual systems is not always clear due to phenotypic plasticity.

Interest in sexual systems goes back to Charles Darwin, who found that barnacles include some species that are androdioecious and some that are dioecious.

Genetic variation
Genetic variation is the difference in DNA among individuals or the differences between populations among the same species.  The multiple sources of genetic variation include mutation and genetic recombination.  Mutations are the ultimate sources of genetic variation, but other mechanisms, such as  genetic drift, contribute to it, as well.

Philippine television drama
Philippine television drama, also known as teleserye is a form of melodramatic, serialized, televised fiction in the Philippines. Teleserye is derived from two Filipino words: "tele", short for "telebisyón" (television), and "serye" (series).

Teleseryes share characteristics with and have roots similar to soap operas and telenovelas. They have evolved into a genre with unique characteristics, however, and often reflect Filipino social reality. Teleseryes are aired in the afternoon and prime time, five days a week. Their audience crosses age and gender lines, and they have the highest advertising rates in the Philippine television industry. Series last from three months to a year or longer, depending on ratings.

Philippine TV dramas also include serials and anthologies, usually shown weekly. These dramas have a finite number of episodes and usually last one season, again depending on ratings.
