Men who have sex with men
Men who have sex with men (MSM) are men who engage in sexual activity with other men, regardless of their sexual orientation or sexual identity. The term was created by epidemiologists in the 1990s, to better study and communicate the spread of sexually transmitted infections such as HIV/AIDS between all sexually active males, not strictly those identifying as gay, bisexual, pansexual or various other sexualities, but also for example male prostitutes. The term is often used in medical literature and social research to describe such men as a group. It does not describe any specific kind of sexual activity, and which activities are covered by the term depends on context. The alternative term "males who have sex with males" is sometimes considered more accurate in cases where those described may not be legal adults.

Age of majority
The age of majority is the legal age of adulthood as declared in law. It is the moment when a person ceases to be considered a minor, and assumes legal control over their person, actions, and decisions, gaining rights denied to them prior to that moment, while also terminating the rights a parent has over them.

Most countries set the age of majority at 18, but some jurisdictions have a higher age and others lower. The word majority here refers to having greater years and being of full age as opposed to minority, the state of being a minor. The law in a given jurisdiction may not actually use the term "age of majority". The term refers to a collection of laws bestowing the status of adulthood.

The European Agency for Reconstruction (EAR) was created under the mandate of Chris Patten as  Europe's Commissioner for External Relations: “the first big test of our ability to run things competently and we passed it, was speeding up delivery by cutting corners where we could, setting up the European Agency for Reconstruction and giving it delegated authority and political cover” (Chris Patten, “Not Quite the Diplomat” ).

USS Lowell
USS Lowell (SP-504) was a United States Navy patrol vessel and minesweeper in commission from 1917 to 1919.

Lowell was built as a commercial steam lighter of the same name in 1909 by Verdin's Yard at Staten Island, New York. In 1917 she was rebuilt as a steam tug by Shewan’s Dry Dock Company at Brooklyn, New York.

The U.S. Navy acquired Lowell under charter from her owner, Neptune Line, Inc., of New York City, on 29 September 1917 for World War I service as a patrol vessel and minesweeper. The Navy took control of her and commissioned her the same day at Tompkinsville on Staten Island as USS Lowell (SP-504).

Assigned to the 3rd Naval District, Lowell operated out of New York Harbor for the remainder of World War I as a dispatch boat and harbor patrol craft. In addition, she operated as a minesweeper and swept for naval mines in The Narrows and off southern Long Island.

After the war, Lowell was decommissioned on 16 May 1919 and was returned to the Neptune Line the same day.

There are more radio stations in the United States specializing in country music (about 2,100 stations) than any other format, out of a total of about 15,000 radio stations in the US. Country radio stations are very influential in the country music industry, compared to other genres of music. Until 2012, only country radio stations were counted in the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart's airplay component, and from 1990 to 2012, country radio was the sole arbiter of a song's position on that chart; the same magazine's Country Airplay chart remains limited solely to country radio stations.

Chadwick Beach cotton mouse
The Chadwick Beach cotton mouse (Peromyscus gossypinus restrictus) is a presumably extinct subspecies of the cotton mouse, a rodent in the family Cricetidae.

New World rats and mice
The New World rats and mice are a group of related rodents found in North and South America.  They are diverse in appearance and ecology, ranging from the tiny Baiomys to the large Kunsia. They represent one of the few examples of muroid rodents (along with the voles) in North America, and the only example of muroid rodents to have made it into South America.

The New World rats and mice are often considered part of a single subfamily, Sigmodontinae, but the recent trend among muroid taxonomists is to recognize three separate subfamilies.  This strategy better represents the extreme diversity of species numbers and ecological types.

Some molecular phylogenetic studies have suggested that the New World rats and mice are not a monophyletic group, but this is yet to be confirmed.  Their closest relatives are clearly the hamsters and voles.

The New World rats and mice are divided into 3 subfamilies, 12 tribes, and 84 genera.
