Independent Police Complaints Council
The Independent Police Complaints Council (IPCC) is a civilian body of the Government of Hong Kong, part of the two-tier system in which the Hong Kong Police Force investigates complaints made by the public against its members and the IPCC monitors those investigations.

The IPCC acts as an independent body to monitor the review by the Complaints Against Police Office (CAPO) of complaints against members of the Police Force. Unlike CAPO, which is a unit of the police force, the IPCC is a civilian body not linked with the police that reports directly to the office of the Chief Executive of Hong Kong. There have been criticisms in LegCo that the IPCC has limited monitoring power.
Henry Hatsell
Henry Hatsell (died 1667) was an English naval official and member of parliament in the seventeenth century.

Henry was probably born in Plymouth to a family of merchants. He married Margaret Dawe at Barnstaple on 6 February 1637. Together they had at least one son, Sir Henry Hatsell (1641 – 1714).

Hatsell had a business arrangement with Martin Noell and Thomas Alderne, London businessmen, in the transportation of Royalist prisoners involved in the Penruddock uprising. They were shipped to Barbados, where they were sold as goods and chattels for fifteen hundred and fifty pounds of sugar each on 7 May 1656.: 284

Royalist
A royalist supports a particular monarch as head of state for a particular kingdom, or of a particular dynastic claim. In the abstract, this position is royalism. It is distinct from monarchism, which advocates a monarchical system of government, but not necessarily a particular monarch. Most often, the term royalist is applied to a supporter of a current regime or one that has been recently overthrown to form a republic.

In the United Kingdom, the term is currently almost indistinguishable from "monarchist", as there are no significant rival claimants to the throne. Conversely, in 19th-century France, a royalist might be either a Legitimist, Bonapartist, or an Orléanist, all being monarchists.

Own goal
An own goal occurs in sports when a player performs actions that result in scoring points for the opposition, such as when a footballer puts a ball into their own net.

In some parts of the world, the term has become a metaphor for any action that backfires on the person or group undertaking it, sometimes even carrying a sense of "poetic justice". During The Troubles, for instance, it acquired a specific metaphorical meaning in Belfast, referring to an IED (improvised explosive device) that detonated prematurely, killing the person making or handling the bomb with the intent to harm others.

A player trying to throw a game might deliberately attempt an own goal. Such players run the risk of being sanctioned or banned from further play.

Tolkach
The tolkachs (Russian: толкачи, IPA: [təlkɐˈt͡ɕi], lit. pushers) emerged in the Soviet Union as employees of enterprises whose role was to use informal connections to enable production managers to meet or manipulate targeted outputs imposed by the central economic plan. They evolved in the context of the various Five Year Plans helping them to work by violating their core principles: i.e. as success was determined by meeting the targets, using persuasion to have targets reduced was a means of achieving success.

The tolkachs were premier practitioners of blat, a contemporaneous Russian term to describe the procurement of favours. By 1937 the tolkachs had come to occupy a key position mediating between the enterprises and the commissariat.

Commissar
Commissar (or sometimes Kommissar) is an English transliteration of the Russian комиссáр (komissar), which means 'commissary'. In English, the transliteration commissar often refers specifically to the political commissars of Soviet and Eastern-bloc armies or to the people's commissars (effectively government ministers), while administrative officers are called commissaries.

Animals recovered from this site include the pterosaurs Keresdrakon, Caiuajara and Torukjara, the dinosaurs Berthasaura and Vespersaurus, and the iguanian lizard Gueragama.
