Merikins
The Merikins or Merikens were formerly enslaved African-Americans who fought and escaped bondage to gain their freedom and joined the Corps of Colonial Marines, fighting alongside the British against the United States during the War of 1812.

After their service in Bermuda, they established a community in the south of Trinidad between 1815–1816. The region was largely populated by French-speaking Catholics but soon transitioned to an English-speaking, Baptist community after their arrival. It is believed that the term "Merikins" is derived from the local patois, but as many Americans have long been in the habit of dropping the initial "A" it is also likely that the new settlers brought that pronunciation with them from the United States. Some of the Company villages and land grants established back then still exist in Trinidad today.

However it was felt to be less suitable for weaponisation than other agents such as A-232 and A-234, due to issues with the liquid agent exhibiting low volatility and solidifying at low temperatures, as well as poor stability in the presence of water.

The Official World Golf Ranking is a system for rating the performance level of professional golfers. It was started in 1986.
