Mickey Whitehurst
Milton Morris "Mickey" Whitehurst (August 20, 1873 – December 1953) was an American sportsman. As a wrestler, he competed in the men's freestyle bantamweight at the 1904 Summer Olympics. Whitehurst played ice hockey for the University of Maryland, and was part of the team that won the Northampton Hockey Champions in 1898. Whitehurst also coached the football team at the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in 1907 and 1908.

1904 Summer Olympics
The 1904 Summer Olympics (officially the Games of the III Olympiad and also known as St. Louis 1904) were an international multi-sport event held in St. Louis, Missouri, United States, from 1 July to 23 November 1904. Many events were conducted at what is now known as Francis Field on the campus of Washington University in St. Louis. This was the first time that the Olympic Games were held outside Europe.

Tensions caused by the Russo–Japanese War and difficulties in traveling to St. Louis resulted in very few top-class athletes from outside the United States and Canada taking part in the 1904 Games. Only 69–74 of the 651 athletes who competed came from outside North America, and only between 12 and 15 nations were represented in all. Some events subsequently combined the U.S. national championship with the Olympic championship. The current three-medal format of gold, silver and bronze for first, second and third place was introduced at the 1904 Olympics.

Buick Century Cruiser
The Buick Century Cruiser was a dream car (concept car) created by Buick in 1969. It was conceived as being designed for automated highways, where steering wheels would be unnecessary. The vehicle offered swivel contour seats, a refrigerator, and a TV set. The computerized car would be programmed by punch cards with predetermined routes programmed by information provided by electric highway centers. The vehicle would be monitored by a radar like device. The vehicle would also have a device to steer the vehicle manually as well as controlling speed. The canopy would slide open for easy cockpit access. It was related to the Firebird IV concept car and shares an appearance with the GM-X Stiletto.

Steering wheel
A steering wheel (also called a driving wheel, a hand wheel, or simply wheel) is a type of steering control in vehicles.

Steering wheels are used in most modern land vehicles, including all mass-production automobiles, buses, light and heavy trucks, as well as tractors and tanks. The steering wheel is the part of the steering system that the driver manipulates; the rest of the steering system responds to such driver inputs. This can be through direct mechanical contact as in recirculating ball or rack and pinion steering gears, without or with the assistance of hydraulic power steering, HPS, or as in some modern production cars with the help of computer-controlled motors, known as electric power steering.
L'Atelier (painting)
L'Atelier (English: The Studio) is an 1821 painting by the French artist Horace Vernet. It depicts the interior of his Studio located on the Rue des Martyrs in Paris. It depicts Vernet in his studio with art students. The artist is shown fencing in the middle of the canvas, with an épée in one hand and a Palette in the other. To emphasise his lineage as a painter Vernet included a bust of his grandfather Joseph and a painting of his father Carle's painting The Triumph of  Aemilius Paullus.

It was one of the works that Vernet exhibited at his 1822 private view which took place in the depicted studios after two of his submissions to the Salon of 1822 had been rejected by the authorities.

Private view
A private view is a special viewing of an exhibition by invitation only, often an art exhibition and normally a preview at the start of a public exhibition. In the United Kingdom, a private view is generally open to all visitors. Typically wine and light refreshments are served in the form of a reception. If the works on show are by a living artist, it is normal for them to attend the private view. Artworks on view are typically for sale.

This type of exhibition set in a private setting is commonly referred to as the vernissage.

After 2011, Air Italy was a fully integrated subsidiary of Meridiana, then known as Meridiana fly, and continued its operation under the Meridiana Brand but keeping its own AOC. On 28 February 2018, Air Italy reorganised with Meridiana to create the new Air Italy under the new ownership of Meridiana's parent company, AQA Holding.

Aircraft lease
Aircraft leases are leases used by airlines and other aircraft operators. Airlines lease aircraft from other airlines or leasing companies for two main reasons: to operate aircraft without the financial burden of buying them, as well as to provide temporary increase in capacity. The industry has two main leasing types: wet-leasing, which is normally used for short-term leasing, and dry-leasing which is more normal for longer-term leases. The industry also uses combinations of wet and dry. For example, when the aircraft is wet-leased to establish new services, then as the airline's flight or cabin crews become trained, they can be switched to a dry lease. In some markets, there may also be hybrid models, such as with crew provided by lessees.

Compound bow
In modern archery, a compound bow is a bow that uses a levering system, usually of cables and pulleys, to bend the limbs. The compound bow was first developed in 1966 by Holless Wilbur Allen in North Kansas City, Missouri, and a US patent was granted in 1969. Compound bows are widely used in target practice and hunting.

Compound bows are typically constructed of man-made materials such as fiberglass and carbon fiber, while traditional bows and warbows usually are entirely or partially made of wood or bamboo.

The pulley/cam system grants the user a mechanical advantage, and so the limbs of a compound bow are much stiffer than those of a recurve bow or longbow. This rigidity makes the compound bow more energy-efficient than traditional bows, as less energy is dissipated in limb movement. The higher-rigidity, more advanced construction also improves accuracy by reducing the bow's sensitivity to changes in temperature and humidity.

The German Film Award for Best Fiction Film (German: Bester Spielfilm) is the main award given for best German film at the annual Deutscher Filmpreis awards, the German national film awards. It has been held annually since 1951 in varying formats. As the constitution said the prize was only awarded, if outstanding achievement was given, not every year a film was declared the winner of the prize. For the first three years, the Golden Candlestick was the highest honour for this category. It was then replaced by the Golden Bowl as a Challenge Prize, that would be passed to the winner of the next occasion, however as it was not given out for 17 years, the prize was abandoned for good in 1996. Regular prize winners receive a Film Award in Gold whereas the runners-up receive a silver award. A bronze award for the second runner-up was introduced in 2008. On some occasions, no film received the gold prize and a winner of the Silver Award was declared the best film of the year.
Mãe Bernadete
Maria Bernadete Pacífico (1951 – 17 August 2023), also known as Mãe Bernadete, was a Brazilian ialorixá, community activist, politician and quilombo leader.

On August 17, 2023, Bernadete was murdered by two men who entered her home, shooting her more than 12 times in her face in front of her grandchildren. She was the coordinator of Brazil's national council of quilombos (CONAQ), the former Minister for Racial Equality of Simões Filho. She had been placed on Brazil's Human Rights Defenders Protection Program (HRDPP) in 2017 because of threats to her life following the murder of her son, Flavio Gabriel Pacífico dos Santos, better known as Binho do Quilombo.

Mãe-de-santo
A mãe-de-santo or mãe de santo (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈmɐ̃j d(ʒi) ˈsɐ̃tu], plural mães de santo [ˈmɐ̃js d(ʒi) ˈsɐ̃tu]) is a priestess of Candomblé, Umbanda and Quimbanda, the Afro-Brazilian religions.  Those Portuguese words mean literally "saint's mother", a calque of the Yoruba word iyalorisha, a title given to female leaders of the Yoruba religion. Iya means "mother", and the contraction l'orisha means "of orisha", adapted into Portuguese as "of saint" due to the traditionally Catholic-centric culture that surrounds that language.

The priestesses are more venerated in African-Brazilian religions than the priests, who are called pais-de-santo.
In the Afro-Brazilian religions, the priestesses and priests are seen as the owners of tradition, knowledge and culture; it is their responsibility to pass those on to the new generations, because there is no religious text to use for the record.
