Edgar Seligman
Edgar Isaac Seligman (14 April 1867 – 27 September 1958) was an accomplished American-born British painter, who exhibited at the Fine Art Society and Royal Academy and was a highly competitive épée, foil, and sabre fencer.

Seligman competed in five Olympiads and won the silver medal in team épée competition as a member of the British fencing team in 1906 (Intercalated), 1908, and 1912, despite not making his Olympic debut until age 39. At the British Fencing Championships, Seligman was a strong fencer on all three weapons, épée, sabre, and foil, and was the only person to have won the British title in each weapon at least twice.  Recognized as a team leader and champion, he served as the British fencing team's Captain from 1912 to 1924.

Sabre (fencing)
The sabre (US English: saber, both pronounced /ˈseɪbər/) is one of the three disciplines of modern fencing alongside foil & epee. The sabre weapon is for thrusting and cutting with both the cutting edge and the back of the blade (unlike the other modern fencing weapons, the épée and foil, where a touch is scored only using the point of the blade).

The informal term sabre fencer refers to sabre fencers of both genders.
Mastan vali
Hazrat Mastan Vali (also recorded in colonial records as Masthan Ali Fakir; died 18 October 1905) was a 19th-century Indian Sufi saint and ascetic (Majzub) based in Kothacheruvu, Anantapur district, Andhra Pradesh.

Revered for his extreme renunciation and spiritual absorption, his legacy is a notable example of syncretism in the Deccan. He is venerated through a unique "dual-shrine" tradition: regarded as a Muslim saint (Wali) at his Dargah, and simultaneously as a divine guru at a separate Mutt (monastery) maintained by tribal devotees.

Syncretism
Syncretism (/ˈsɪŋkrətɪzəm/) is the combining or merging of various distinct beliefs or schools of thought, particularly religious ones. For instance, features and components of one religion are incorporated and absorbed into another. It can include assimilation of several originally discrete traditions, especially in theology and mythology, thus asserting an underlying unity and allowing for an inclusive approach to multiple faiths. While syncretism in art and culture is sometimes likened to eclecticism, in the realm of religion, it specifically denotes a more integrated merging of beliefs into a unified system, distinct from eclecticism, which implies a selective adoption of elements from different traditions without necessarily blending them into a new, cohesive belief system.
Gert Staal
Gert Staal (born 1956) is a Dutch researcher, publicist and critic in the fields of design, architecture and urban design. Educated as linguist and art historian over the years he was active as journalist, editor, author, manager and teacher particularly in those fields of Dutch design.

Urban design
Urban design is an approach to the design of buildings and the spaces between them that focuses on specific design processes and outcomes based on geographical location. In addition to designing and shaping the physical features of towns, cities, and regional spaces, urban design considers 'bigger picture' issues of economic, social and environmental value and social design. The scope of a project can range from a local street or public space to an entire city and surrounding areas. Urban designers connect the fields of architecture, landscape architecture and urban planning to better organize local and community environments' dependent upon geographical location.

Some important focuses of urban design on this page include its historical impact, paradigm shifts, its interdisciplinary nature, and issues related to urban design.
2008 United States House of Representatives elections in Texas
The 2008 elections for the Texas delegation of the United States House of Representatives was held on November 4, 2008. 31 of 32 congressional seats that make up the state's delegation were contested.  In Texas's 14th congressional district no one challenged incumbent Ron Paul.  Since Representatives are elected for two-year terms, those elected will serve in the 111th United States Congress from January 4, 2009, until January 3, 2011.

The 2008 presidential election, 2008 Senate election, and elections to the Texas House and Texas Senate occurred on the same date, as well as many local elections and ballot initiatives.

Despite widespread success for Democrats nationwide, Republicans gained one seat.

Kamuratanet
Kamuratanet is a Kalenjin traditional process of teaching its members appropriate behavior, knowledge, skills, attitudes, virtues, religion and moral standards. Kamuratanet provides parameters that are used to determine what is acceptable and normal and what is not acceptable, and therefore abnormal. Though carried out throughout an individual's lifetime, it is formalized during yatitaet (circumcision) and subsequent tumdo (initiation).

Virtue
A virtue (Latin: virtus) is a trait of excellence, including traits that may be moral, social, or intellectual. The cultivation and refinement of virtue is held to be the "good of humanity" and thus is valued as an end purpose of life or a foundational principle of being. In human practical ethics, a virtue is a disposition to choose actions that succeed in showing high moral standards: doing what is said to be right and avoiding what is wrong in a given field of endeavour, even when doing so may be unnecessary from a utilitarian perspective. When someone takes pleasure in doing what is right, even when it is difficult or initially unpleasant, they can establish virtue as a habit. Such a person is said to be virtuous through having cultivated such a disposition. The opposite of virtue is vice.

Other examples of this notion include the concept of merit in Asian traditions as well as De (Chinese 德).
Erica Vexler
Erica Vexler Poreiki (died 30 April 2011) was a Chilean journalist, editor, and television presenter best known for her reporting for the magazine Ercilla – of which she was editor in 1966 and subsequently subeditor until 1970 – and for presenting the program Erika Vexler 600 on Canal 13. In 1968, the National Association of Women Journalists of Chile presented her with the Lenka Franulic Award, which she shared with Carmen Machado.

In 1970, after the victory of Salvador Allende in the presidential election, she moved to Israel, where she served as a correspondent for Televisa.

Lenka Franulic Award
The Lenka Franulic Award (Spanish: Premio Lenka Franulic) is a Chilean prize, whose purpose is to recognize career achievement in women's journalism. It has been given annually since 1963 by the National Association of Women Journalists of Chile. It is named for Lenka Franulic, the first Chilean woman journalist.

The winner is determined by a jury composed of the president of the Association of Journalists, the current holder of the National Prize for Journalism, the president of the Association of Women Journalists, the last Lenka Franulic Award winner, and the directors of the journalism schools of the University of Chile, the Catholic University of Chile, and one private university.
Arming plug
An arming plug is a small plug that is fitted into flight hardware to enable functions that, for instrument or personnel safety, should not be activated before flight.  In the case of a missile or bomb, the (lack of the) arming plug prevents explosion before flight; in the case of a spacecraft or scientific sounding rocket, it might prevent premature firing of a hydrazine thruster system (hydrazine is extremely toxic) or block cryogenic or photographic film systems from operating before launch.

Explosion
An explosion is a rapid expansion in volume of a given amount of matter associated with an extreme outward release of energy, usually with the generation of high temperatures and release of high-pressure gases. Explosions may also be generated by a slower expansion that would normally not be forceful, but is not allowed to expand, so that when whatever is containing the expansion is broken by the pressure that builds as the matter inside tries to expand, the matter expands forcefully. An example of this is a volcanic eruption created by the expansion of magma in a magma chamber as it rises to the surface. Supersonic explosions created by high explosives are known as detonations and travel through shock waves. Subsonic explosions are created by low explosives through a slower combustion process known as deflagration.
Kannus
Kannus (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈkɑnːus]) is a town and municipality of Finland. It is situated in the province of Western Finland and is part of the Central Ostrobothnia region.

Mount Komaki
Mount Komaki (小牧山, Komakiyama) is an 86 m-high (282 ft) mountain located in the city of Komaki, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. At one point, the mountain was topped with the original Komakiyama Castle, built by Oda Nobunaga. Its base stretches for nearly 600 m (1,969 ft) from east to west, and 400 m (1,312 ft) from north to south, covering an area of approximately 21 ha (52 acres). The mountain is now a historical park, containing various castle ruins, including water wells and stone walls, in addition to artifacts dating further back. Though known for the sakura trees, the northern part of the mountain is home to many Machilus thunbergii trees. This is the only spot in the surrounding area where these trees occur naturally. The reproduction of Komakiyama Castle was built in 1967 and houses the Komaki City Historical Museum.

Machilus thunbergii
Machilus thunbergii (syn. Persea thunbergii), the Japanese bay tree, red machilus, or tabunoki, is a widespread species of flowering plant in the family Lauraceae. It is native to Vietnam, Taiwan, southeast and north-central China, the Korean Peninsula, and Japan. A sturdy evergreen tree, usually 10–15 m (30–50 ft) tall, and reaching 20 m (70 ft), it is used for timber, and as a street tree. Its bark is the source of makko, a powder used to make a mosquito‑repelling incense. It prefers coastal areas, and can handle saline soil.
CYP39A1
CYP39A1 (cytochrome P450, family 39, subfamily A, polypeptide 1) also known as oxysterol 7-α-hydroxylase 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CYP39A1 gene.

This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. This endoplasmic reticulum protein is involved in the conversion of cholesterol to bile acids. Its substrates include the oxysterols 24-hydroxycholesterol, 25-hydroxycholesterol and 27-hydroxycholesterol.

27-Hydroxycholesterol
27-Hydroxycholesterol (27-HC) is an endogenous oxysterol with multiple biological functions, including activity as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) (a mixed, tissue-specific agonist-antagonist of the estrogen receptor (ER)) and as an agonist of the liver X receptor (LXR). It is a metabolite of cholesterol that is produced by the enzyme CYP27A1.

A link between high cholesterol and breast cancer has been identified, and it has been proposed that this is due to 27-HC production by CYP27A1. Because of its estrogenic action, 27-HC stimulates the growth of ER-positive breast cancer cells, and has been implicated in limiting the effectiveness of aromatase inhibitors in the treatment of breast cancer. As such, identified CYP27A1 inhibitors, including the marketed drugs anastrozole, fadrozole, bicalutamide, dexmedetomidine, ravuconazole, and posaconazole, have been proposed as potential adjuvant therapies in ER-positive breast cancer.
Tibby Creek (Noxubee River tributary)
Tibby Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of Mississippi. It is a tributary to the Noxubee River.

Tibby is a name derived from the Choctaw language purported to mean either (sources vary) "icy creek" or "to fight".

Choctaw language
The Choctaw language (Choctaw: Chahta), spoken by the Choctaw, an Indigenous people of the Southeastern Woodlands, US, is a member of the Muskogean language family. Chickasaw is a separate but closely related language to Choctaw.

The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma published the New Choctaw dictionary in 2016.
Neuroepithelial cell
Neuroepithelial cells, or neuroectodermal cells, form the wall of the closed neural tube in early embryonic development. The neuroepithelial cells span the thickness of the tube's wall, connecting with the pial surface and with the ventricular or lumenal surface. They are joined at the lumen of the tube by junctional complexes, where they form a pseudostratified layer of epithelium called neuroepithelium.

Neuroepithelial cells are the stem cells of the central nervous system, known as neural stem cells, and generate the intermediate progenitor cells known as radial glial cells, that differentiate into neurons and glia in the process of neurogenesis.

Glia
Glia, also called glial cells (gliocytes) or neuroglia, are non-neuronal cells in the central nervous system (the brain and the spinal cord) and in the peripheral nervous system that do not produce electrical impulses. The neuroglia make up more than one half the volume of neural tissue in the human body. They contribute to the maintenance of homeostasis, help form myelin, and provide support and protection for neurons. In the central nervous system, glial cells include oligodendrocytes (that produce myelin), astrocytes, ependymal cells and microglia, and in the peripheral nervous system they include Schwann cells (that produce myelin), and satellite cells.
Skedaddle Mountains
The Skedaddle Mountains are a mountain range that span southeast Lassen County, California. The tallest peak in this range is Hot Springs Peak, which stands at 2,333 m (7,654 ft) tall.

The communities of Belfast, Litchfield, and Wendel are located at or near the edges of this range.

Wendel, California
Wendel is an unincorporated community in Lassen County, California. It is located 23 miles (37 km) east-southeast of Susanville, at an elevation of 4012 feet (1223 m). Wendel's ZIP Code is 96136.

The Wendel post office opened in 1915 (when it was transferred from Purser), closed in 1920, and re-opened in 1921. The name Wendel was bestowed by Thomas Moran, the president of the Nevada–California–Oregon Railway, for a friend.

Wendel was once a crew change point for the railroad, with housing, hotels, and other services for train workers.  Most of the railroad infrastructure in Wendel was demolished in 1996, and the railroad is now abandoned.  A few homes can still be found in the area, however.

Kate Milner Rabb
Kate Milner Rabb (August 9, 1866–July 3, 1937), born in Rockport, Indiana, was a columnist, editor, historian, and author. She has been described as a '"pioneer in the field of journalism,"' who influenced '"the destiny of women in journalism today."' In 1896, her first book was published, titled, "National Epics," a collection of epic stories including, the Iliad, and the Odyssey.

Rabb edited Indiana Women, a weekly magazine, and wrote a number of articles and stories for publications, including St. Nicholas magazine, and Youth's Companion. She edited and authored a number books and pamphlets, and columns, but was best known for her daily column, "A Hoosier Listening Post," for The Indianapolis Star. She was inducted into the Indiana Journalism Hall of Fame in 2012.

Hoosier
Hoosier /ˈhuːʒər/ is the official demonym for the people of the U.S. state of Indiana. The origin of the term remains a matter of debate; however, "Hoosier" was in general use by the 1840s, having been popularized by Richmond resident John Finley's 1833 poem "The Hoosier's Nest". Indiana adopted the nickname "The Hoosier State" more than 150 years ago.

"Hoosier" is used in the names of numerous Indiana-based businesses and organizations. "Hoosiers" is also the name of the Indiana University athletic teams. The term is universally accepted by residents of Indiana and, as of 2017, is also the official demonym used by the U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO), making it the only GPO-recommended demonym of any US state that is not directly formed from the state's name. Before 2017, the GPO-recommended demonym for the state was "Indianian".
