Albert (Peto) Nicholas
Albert (Peto) Nicholas (9 May 1951 – 15 August 2012) was a Cook Islands politician.  He was member of the Cook Islands Parliament for the seat of the seat of Avatiu–Ruatonga–Palmerston for 18 years.

Nicholas was born on Rarotonga and educated at St Joseph primary school and Tereora College.  He was first elected to Parliament as a member of the Alliance Party in the 1994 election.  He was re-elected in 1999 as a member of the New Alliance Party, but switched allegiance to the Cook Islands Party later that year.

Nicholas left the CIP in July 2010 following a dispute about candidate selection, and founded the Party Tumu. He stood under that party's banner in the 2010 election, but was unsuccessful.

On 15 August 2012 Nicholas died of a heart attack while driving in Rarotonga.

New Alliance Party (Cook Islands)
The New Alliance Party was a political party in the Cook Islands.  The party was led by Norman George, and was a continuation of his Alliance Party.

The Alliance had merged with the Democratic Party to form the Democratic Alliance after the 1994 elections, but a struggle over the leadership between George and Terepai Maoate saw George split off again in 1997, accompanied by Jim Marurai.

The party won 4 seats at the 1999 election, and formed a brief coalition with the Cook Islands Party which saw George serve as Deputy Prime Minister. A coalition realignment in November 1999 saw the NAP support Democratic party leader Terepai Maoate as Prime Minister, and the party remained in coalition despite George's subsequent sacking from Cabinet.

The NAP re-merged with the Democratic Alliance in 2002.
Saltpeter Wars
The Saltpeter Wars were three conflicts among the peasants of the County of Hauenstein, the Abbey of Saint Blaise (Sankt Blasien) and the Austrian monarchy in the years 1725–1727, 1738 and 1743–1745. At times the conflict had the character of a civil war between two peasant factions: the müllerisch, named for the early leadership of the miller (müller) Joseph Tröndle, and the salpterisch, so named because one of its early leaders, Hans Albiez, made his money in the saltpeter trade.

Potassium nitrate
Potassium nitrate is a chemical compound with a sharp, salty, bitter taste and the chemical formula KNO3. It is a potassium salt of nitric acid. This salt consists of potassium cations K+ and nitrate anions NO−3, and is therefore an alkali metal nitrate. It occurs in nature as a mineral, niter (or nitre outside the United States). It is a source of nitrogen, and nitrogen was named after niter. Potassium nitrate is one of several nitrogen-containing compounds collectively referred to as saltpetre (or saltpeter in American English).

Major uses of potassium nitrate are in fertilizers, tree stump removal, rocket propellants and fireworks. It is one of the major constituents of traditional gunpowder (black powder). In processed meats, potassium nitrate reacts with hemoglobin and myoglobin generating a red color.

Their films have received numerous Magritte Awards, nominations for the Lumière Award for Best French Language Film and the Saturn Award for Best International Film, as well as award recognition from multiple film festivals with premiers at the Telluride Film Festival and the Cannes Film Festival.

Abel and Gordon's films include Rumba, The Fairy, and Lost in Paris, which also starred  Pierre Richard and Emanuelle Riva, in one of her final screen appearances. Critics have compared Abel and Gordon's work with that of Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, Aki Kaurismäki, and Jacques Tati.

Prior to their work in film, Gordon co-founded the influential and multi-award winning Théâtre de Complicité in London. Both Abel and Gordon have extensive careers in the European theater and circus.

Jacques Tati
Jacques Tati (French: [tati]; born Jacques Tatischeff, pronounced [tatiʃɛf]; 9 October 1907 – 5 November 1982) was a French mime, filmmaker, actor and screenwriter. In an Entertainment Weekly poll of the Greatest Movie Directors he was voted 46th (a list of the top 50 was published), though he had directed only six feature-length films.

Tati is perhaps best known for his portrayal of the character Monsieur Hulot, featured in Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot (1953), Mon Oncle (1958), Playtime (1967) and Trafic (1971). Playtime ranked 23rd in the 2022 Sight and Sound critics' poll of the greatest films ever made.

As David Bellos puts it, "Tati, from l'École des facteurs to Playtime, is the epitome of what an auteur is (in film theory) supposed to be: the controlling mind behind a vision of the world on film."
