Zero width
Zero width (also zero-width) refers to a non-printing character used in computer typesetting of some complex scripts:

Zero-width joiner
Zero-width non-joiner
Zero-width space
Zero-width no-break space

Zero-width non-joiner
The zero-width non-joiner (ZWNJ, rendered: ‌; HTML entity: &zwnj; or &#8204;) is a non-printing character used in the computerization of writing systems that make use of ligatures.  For example, in writing systems that feature initial, medial and final letter-forms, such as the Persian alphabet, when a ZWNJ is placed between two characters that would otherwise be joined into a ligature, it instead prevents the ligature and causes them to be printed in their final and initial forms, respectively. This is also an effect of a space character, but a ZWNJ is used when it is desirable to keep the characters closer together or to connect a word with its morpheme.

The ZWNJ is encoded in Unicode as U+200C  ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER (&zwnj;).

NGC 1419
NGC 1419 is an elliptical galaxy located 62 million light years away in the constellation of Eridanus. The galaxy was discovered by astronomer John Herschel on October 22, 1835,  and is a member of the Fornax Cluster.  NGC 1419 is a host to a supermassive black hole with an estimated mass of 25 million solar masses.

155 known globular clusters have been observed surrounding NGC 1419, along with 21 planetary nebulae. These planetary nebulae reveal that the distance to NGC 1419 is approximately 18.9 Mpc, while measurements using surface brightness fluctuations reveal that NGC 1419 is approximately 22.9 ± 0.9 Mpc away. The measurements using planetary nebulae confirm that NGC 1419 is a member of the Fornax Cluster.

Supermassive black hole
A supermassive black hole (SMBH or sometimes SBH) is the largest type of black hole, with its mass being on the order of hundreds of thousands, or millions to billions, of times the mass of the Sun (M☉). Black holes are a class of astronomical objects that have undergone gravitational collapse, leaving behind spheroidal regions of space that nothing, not even light, can escape. Observational evidence indicates that almost every large galaxy has a supermassive black hole at its center. For example, the Milky Way galaxy has a supermassive black hole at its center, corresponding to the radio source Sagittarius A*. Accretion of interstellar gas onto supermassive black holes is the process responsible for powering active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and quasars.

Two supermassive black holes have been directly imaged by the Event Horizon Telescope; these are Sagittarius A, at the center of the Milky Way, and the black hole at the center of Messier 87, a giant elliptical galaxy.

2013 Major League Baseball All-Star Game
The 2013 Major League Baseball All-Star Game was the 84th edition of the Major League Baseball All-Star Game. It was held on Tuesday, July 16, 2013 at Citi Field in Queens, New York City, the home of the New York Mets. This was the first time that the Mets have hosted an All-Star Game since 1964, the team's inaugural season at Shea Stadium, and the ninth time the All-Star Game was held in New York City. The game was last held in New York City in 2008, when the original Yankee Stadium hosted it in its final season before being demolished. It was televised in the United States on  Fox.

The American League shut out the National League for the third time in All-Star game history; the National League has six shutouts.  This game marks the first time that there have been shutouts in consecutive All-Star games.
Milk manufacturing marketing adjustment
In United States agricultural policy, the make allowance (or milk manufacturing marketing adjustment) is the margin between the government support price for milk and the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) purchase price for butter, nonfat dry milk, and cheese. This margin is administratively set to cover the costs of “making” milk into butter, nonfat dry milk, or cheese to reach the desired level of prices for milk in manufacturing uses.

Price support
In economics, a price support may be either a direct payment, a production quota, or a price floor, each with the intended effect of keeping the market price of a good higher than the competitive equilibrium level, usually by a government.

In the case of a price control, a price support refers to the minimum legal price a seller may charge, typically placed above equilibrium. It is the support of certain price levels at or above market values by the government.

A price support scheme can also be an agreement set in order by the government, where the government agrees to purchase surplus goods at a minimum price.  For example, if a price floor were set in place for agricultural wheat commodities, the government would be forced to purchase the resulting surplus from the wheat farmers (thereby subsidizing the farmers) and store or otherwise dispose of it.
John Short (Canadian politician)
John Short (July 4, 1836 – October 16, 1886) was a farmer and political figure in Quebec. He represented Gaspé in the House of Commons of Canada from 1875 to 1878 as a Conservative member.

Born in Richmond, Upper Canada and educated in Lennoxville, Canada East, he was the son of the Reverend Robert Short and Margaret Lyon, the daughter of Captain Lyon of Aberdeen. He was the grandson of John Quirk Short, a staff surgeon and deputy inspector general of hospitals, and the great-grandson of Robert Quirk Short. In 1858, Short married Mary Charlotte Boyle. He served as mayor of Gaspé for 14 years and also served as warden for Gaspé County. Short also served as chairman of the school board and sheriff for Gaspé district. He was elected to the House of Commons in an 1875 by-election held after Louis George Harper was unseated.

His uncle Edward Short was a judge in the Quebec Superior Court and served in the legislative assembly for the Province of Canada.

By-elections to the 3rd Canadian Parliament
By-elections to the 3rd Canadian Parliament were held to elect members of the House of Commons of Canada between the 1874 federal election and the 1878 federal election. The Liberal Party of Canada led a majority government for the 3rd Canadian Parliament.

The number of by-elections is notable and so is the number that were of successfully contested, mainly because courts in Canada began to take a more objective view of petitions at that time, following legal reforms on election procedure. Despite many new elections being called, many politicians were nonetheless reelected a second time.

The following list includes Ministerial by-elections which occurred due to the requirement that Members of Parliament recontest their seats upon being appointed to Cabinet. These by-elections were almost always uncontested. This requirement was abolished in 1931.

Marina Gavrilova
Marina Lvovna Gavrilova (born 1971) is a Russian-Canadian computer scientist whose research interests include machine learning, data fusion, and biometrics, including the use of behavioral characteristics to unmask anonymous social network contributors. She has also published well-cited research on the use of Voronoi diagrams in path planning. She is a professor of computer science at the University of Calgary in Canada, where she holds a UCalgary Research Excellence Chair. She is also the editor-in-chief of Transactions on Computational Sciences.

Voronoi diagram
In mathematics, a Voronoi diagram is a partition of a plane into regions close to each of a given set of objects. It can be classified also as a tessellation. In the simplest case, these objects are just finitely many points in the plane (called seeds, sites, or generators). For each seed there is a corresponding region, called a Voronoi cell, consisting of all points of the plane closer to that seed than to any other. The Voronoi diagram of a set of points is dual to that set's Delaunay triangulation.

The Voronoi diagram is named after mathematician Georgy Voronoy, and is also called a Voronoi tessellation, a Voronoi decomposition, a Voronoi partition, or a Dirichlet tessellation (after Peter Gustav Lejeune Dirichlet). Voronoi cells are also known as Thiessen polygons, after Alfred H. Thiessen. Voronoi diagrams have practical and theoretical applications in many fields, mainly in science and technology, but also in visual art.
