1976 NBA All-Star Game
The 1976 NBA All Star Game was played on February 3, 1976, at the Spectrum in Philadelphia, home of the Philadelphia 76ers. It was the third NBA All-Star game to be held at Philadelphia, after doing so in 1960 (then hosted by the Philadelphia Warriors) and 1970. Philadelphia hosted three of the major four league All-Star Games (the NFL's Pro Bowl in New Orleans was the exception) in honor of the Bicenntenial. It was also the final NBA All-Star Game played on a weekday, being played on a Tuesday, before the NBA switching All-Star games to a Sunday game the following season, as well as the final one before the ABA–NBA merger.

The East All-Stars beat the West All-Stars 123–109. Dave Bing of the Washington Bullets was named the Most Valuable Player.

Spectrum (arena)
The Spectrum (later known as CoreStates Spectrum, First Union Spectrum and Wachovia Spectrum) was an indoor arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The arena opened in September 1967 as part of what is now known as the South Philadelphia Sports Complex. After several expansions of its seating capacity, it accommodated 18,168 for basketball and 17,380 for ice hockey, arena football, indoor soccer, and box lacrosse. It was the home arena for the Philadelphia Flyers and the Philadelphia 76ers from 1967 to 1996 before both moved to the CoreStates Center (known as Spectrum II during planning and construction, and currently named Xfinity Mobile Arena). The Spectrum continued to be used for concerts and as the home for other sports teams including a new AHL affiliate for the Flyers, the Philadelphia Phantoms.

The final event at the Spectrum was a Pearl Jam concert on October 31, 2009. The arena was demolished between November 2010 and May 2011.

Andrei Platonov
Andrei Platonovich Platonov (Russian: Андрей Платонович Платонов, IPA: [ɐnˈdrʲej plɐˈtonəvʲɪtɕ plɐˈtonəf]; né Klimentov [Климе́нтов]; 28 August [O.S. 16 August] 1899 – 5 January 1951) was a Soviet Russian novelist, short story writer, philosopher, playwright, and poet. Although Platonov regarded himself as a communist, his principal works remained unpublished in his lifetime because of their skeptical attitude toward collectivization of agriculture (1929–1940) and other Stalinist policies, as well as for their experimental, avant-garde form infused with existentialism which was not in line with the dominant socialist realism doctrine. His famous works include the novels The Foundation Pit  (1930), Soul (1935) and Chevengur (1928).
Mercury(II) stearate
Mercury(II) stearate is a metal-organic compound, a salt of mercury and stearic acid with the chemical formula C36H70HgO4. The compound is classified as a metallic soap, i.e. a metal derivative of a fatty acid. The compound is highly toxic by inhalation, ingestion, and skin absorption.

Metallic soap
A metallic soap is a metallic salt of a fatty acid. Theoretically, soaps can be made of any metal, although not all enjoy practical uses. Varying the metal can strongly affect the properties of the compound, particularly its solubility.
God Bless the Grass
God Bless The Grass is the sixth studio album by Pete Seeger, released on January 17, 1966 by Columbia Records as CL 2432 (mono) and CS 9232 (stereo). The album cover was designed by R. O. Blechman.

God Bless The Grass focuses on environmental issues and offers inspiration and admiration for nature, taking its title from the included song written by Malvina Reynolds. The songs advocate awareness of the environment and appreciation for the splendor of nature. "My Dirty Stream" for example, supports an environmental organization Seeger formed in 1966 called Hudson River Sloop Clearwater (aka Great Hudson River Revival or Clearwater Festival) that sought to clean up the heavily polluted Hudson River. The liner notes include a message written by then Supreme Court Justice William Douglas.

Malvina Reynolds

Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973
The Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 (c. 65) is an act of Parliament of the United Kingdom that altered local government in Scotland on 16 May 1975.

The act followed and largely implemented the report of the Royal Commission on Local Government in Scotland in 1969 (the Wheatley Report), and it made the most far-reaching changes to Scottish local government in centuries. It swept away the counties, burghs and districts established by the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1947, which were largely based on units of local government dating from the Middle Ages, and replaced them with a uniform two-tier system of regional and district councils (except in the islands, which were given unitary, all-purpose councils).

In England and Wales, the Local Government Act 1972 established a similar system of two-tier administrative county and district councils.

1927 Salvadoran coup attempt
On 6 December 1927, the Meléndez–Quiñónez political dynasty of El Salvador attempted to overthrow the government of President Pío Romero Bosque. Former presidents Jorge Meléndez and Alfonso Quiñónez Molina and former chief of police Federico Guillermo Kreitz attempted to overthrow Romero's government in an attempt to restore the political dynasty's power after Romero distanced himself from the dynasty's rule.

On 6 December, Colonel Juan Aberle and Major Manuel Noguera attempted to inform both Romero and police chief Colonel Enrique Leitzelar that a military junta had deposed Romero and elected Aberle as president. Both Romero and Leitzelar rejected this information and Romero had Aberle and Noguera arrested, court-martialed, and executed by firing squad. Hundreds of conspirators were arrested while Meléndez, the coup's chief plotter, fled El Salvador for exile.

Political family
A political family (also referred to as a political dynasty) is a family in which multiple members are involved in politics, particularly electoral politics. Members may be related by blood or marriage; often several generations or multiple siblings may be involved.

A royal family or dynasty in a monarchy is generally not considered a "political family," although later descendants of a royal family have played political roles in a republic (such as the Arslan family of Lebanon). A family dictatorship is a form of hereditary dictatorship that operates much like an absolute monarchy, yet occurs in a nominally non-monarchic state.
Dual topology
In functional analysis and related areas of mathematics a dual topology is a locally convex topology on a vector space that is induced by the continuous dual of the vector space, by means of the bilinear form (also called pairing) associated with the dual pair.

The different dual topologies for a given dual pair are characterized by the Mackey–Arens theorem. All locally convex topologies with their continuous dual are trivially a dual pair and the locally convex topology is a dual topology.

Several topological properties depend only on the dual pair and not on the chosen dual topology and thus it is often possible to substitute a complicated dual topology by a simpler one.

Absolutely convex set
In mathematics, a subset C of a real or complex vector space is said to be absolutely convex or disked if it is convex and balanced (some people use the term "circled" instead of "balanced"), in which case it is called a disk. 
The disked hull or the absolute convex hull of a set is the intersection of all disks containing that set.

Image formation
The study of image formation encompasses the radiometric and geometric processes by which 2D images of 3D objects are formed.  In the case of digital images, the image formation process also includes analog to digital conversion and sampling.

Sampling (signal processing)
In signal processing, sampling is the reduction of a continuous-time signal to a discrete-time signal. A common example is the conversion of a sound wave to a sequence of "samples".
A sample is a value of the signal at a point in time and/or space; this definition differs from the term's usage in statistics, which refers to a set of such values.

A sampler is a subsystem or operation that extracts samples from a continuous signal. A theoretical ideal sampler produces samples equivalent to the instantaneous value of the continuous signal at the desired points.

The original signal can be reconstructed from a sequence of samples, up to the Nyquist limit, by passing the sequence of samples through a reconstruction filter.
Daria Bijak
Daria Eva Kiehne (née Bijak) (born 12 November 1985 in Racibórz, Poland) is a German former artistic gymnast. She is a two-time German national champion (2005, 2006) and competed for Germany at the 2002, 2003, 2005, and 2006 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships.  She represented Germany at the 2008 Summer Olympics.

2002 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships
The 36th Artistic Gymnastics World Championships were held in Debrecen, Hungary, in 2002 at Főnix Hall.

The team and all-around events were not contested at the 2002 Worlds. The format was similar to that of the 1992 and 1996 Worlds, with medals being awarded for the individual WAG and MAG apparatus. There were three rounds of competition: the preliminary round open to everyone; the semi-finals open to the top sixteen qualifiers; and the finals for the top eight gymnasts.
Jobless employed
In human resources, jobless employed is an oxymoron that refers to employees who have little to no work while remaining employed. The presence of jobless employed can negatively impact work culture and breed resentment among those who are overworked. Such positions are seen as a rejection of corporate work culture and an embrace of work-life balance and anti-work.

The transition to remote work following the COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with increased automation, outsourcing, and organizational disruption have increased the prevalence of the jobless employed. Absenteeism, a lack of middle management and disengaged managers enables the issue.

Jobless employed may be uncovered through performance audits and business process reviews, and replaced through the use of artificial intelligence driven business process automation.

The term was coined by Emily Stewart in May 2023 in a Vox article.

Business process
A business process, business method, or business function is a collection of related, structured activities or tasks performed by people or equipment in which a specific sequence produces a service or product (that serves a particular business goal) for a particular customer or customers. Business processes occur at all organizational levels and may or may not be visible to the customers. A business process may often be visualized (modeled) as a flowchart of a sequence of activities with interleaving decision points or as a process matrix of a sequence of activities with relevance rules based on data in the process. The benefits of using business processes include improved customer satisfaction and improved agility for reacting to rapid market change. Process-oriented organizations break down the barriers of structural departments and try to avoid functional silos.

Division of Hoddle
The Division of Hoddle was an Australian Electoral Division in Victoria. The division was created in 1949 and abolished in 1955. It was named for Robert Hoddle, the surveyor who laid out the street plan of the City of Melbourne. It was located in the inner suburbs of Melbourne, including Carlton North, Clifton Hill, Abbotsford, Collingwood and Fitzroy, and was a safe seat for the Australian Labor Party.

When the division was introduced in 1949, it replaced parts of the Division of Melbourne and Division of Yarra. When it was abolished in 1955, the western portion (Carlton North, Fitzroy and Clifton Hill) was replaced by the new Division of Scullin and the eastern portion (Collingwood and Abbotsford) was returned to the Division of Yarra. During its six years of existence, it did not undergo any boundary change.

Robert Hoddle
Robert Hoddle (21 April 1794 – 24 October 1881) was a surveyor and artist. He was the first Surveyor-General of Victoria from 1851 to 1853. He was previously the Surveyor-in-Charge of the Port Phillip District from 1837 to 1851. He became Surveyor-General upon the proclamation  of the Port Phillip District as the new Colony of Victoria within the British Empire in July 1851. He is especially recognized for the design and layout of the Hoddle Grid in 1837, the area which forms the Melbourne central business district (CBD) of Melbourne.  He was also an accomplished artist and depicted scenes of the Port Phillip region and New South Wales. Hoddle was one of the earliest-known European artists to depict Ginninderra, the area now occupied by Canberra, Australia's National Capital.
