Norwegian State Railways (1883–1996)
The Norwegian State Railways (Norwegian: Norges Statsbaner or NSB) was a state-owned railway company that operated most of the railway network in Norway. The government agency/directorate was created in 1883 to oversee the construction and operation of all state-owned railways in Norway. On 1 December 1996, it was demerged to create the infrastructure operator Norwegian National Rail Administration, the train operator Norwegian State Railways and the Norwegian Railway Inspectorate. The name was taken by the train operator, although the infrastructure operator remained a government agency and is the legal successor.

Turkish Soldiers Monument in Beersheba
Turkish Soldiers Monument in Beersheba is a monument that stands on David Tobiahu Boulevard, near the old Turkish railway station in Beersheba. The headstone was placed in 2002 by the Turkish government, in memory of 298 Turkish soldiers who fell in the Battle of Beersheba.

A memorial plaque was placed at the base of the tombstone in memory of the Turkish soldiers who fell in the campaign. The plaque was originally placed by the British on the entrance wall of the British military cemetery, in recognition of the respect for the dead that Turks showed when they placed a tombstone for a British pilot who died in battle against them. Next to the tombstone stands a head statue of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.

In 2010, the tombstone was vandalized following the events of the flotilla to Gaza, when the inscription "All honor to the IDF" was sprayed on it, and an attempt was made to set fire to the Turkish flag next to it.

Ackerman House (222 Doremus Avenue, Ridgewood, New Jersey)
The Ackerman House is a historic stone house located at 222 Doremus Avenue in the village of Ridgewood in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 10, 1983, for its significance in architecture. It was listed as part of the Early Stone Houses of Bergen County Multiple Property Submission (MPS).

The house was likely built in the 18th century by a member of the Ackerman family. The one and one-half story house features a gable roof.

Gable roof
A gable roof is a roof consisting of two sections whose upper horizontal edges meet to form its ridge. The most common roof shape in cold or temperate climates, it is constructed of rafters, roof trusses or purlins. The pitch of a gable roof can vary greatly.
Mahendra Mountains
The Mahendra Mountains are a mountain range described in the epics Ramayana and Mahabharata. They are identified as part of the Eastern Ghats, specifically within the states of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh. They are the place where Bhargava Rama, or Parashurama, spends his days of life, as he is one of the chiranjeevi, meaning he has life up to pralaya. The mountains were visited by Arjuna as part of his pilgrimage.

It is said that Lord Parshurama did penance here, and will do so until the end of Kali Yuga.

The Sahyadrikhanda identifies the Sahyadri mountains as Mount Mahendra, where Parashurama performed his penances.

Kali Yuga
Kali Yuga (Devanagari: कलियुग), in Hinduism, is the fourth, shortest, and worst of the four yugas (world ages) in a Yuga cycle, preceded by Dvapara Yuga and followed by the next cycle's Krita (Satya) Yuga. It is believed to be the present age, which is full of conflict and sin.

According to Puranic sources, Krishna's death marked the end of Dvapara Yuga and the start of Kali Yuga, which is dated to 17/18 February 3102 BCE. Lasting for 432,000 years (1,200 divine years), Kali Yuga began 5,127 years ago and has 426,873 years left as of 2026 CE. Kali Yuga will end in the year 428,899 CE.

Near the end of Kali Yuga, when virtues are at their worst, a cataclysm and a re-establishment of dharma occur to usher in the next cycle's Krita (Satya) Yuga, prophesied to occur by Kalki.

Cultural references to chickens
There are numerous cultural references to chickens in myth, folklore, religion, and literature. Because the chicken has lived in close association with humans for millennia, it has become deeply embedded in cultures worldwide. Its presence in myth, religion, and art from every inhabited continent reflects not only its practical value but also its symbolic importance. The ubiquity of chickens in human societies exemplifies their long-standing symbiotic relationship with humans—a partnership that has made the chicken one of the most successful species on Earth.

Chickens are a sacred animal in many cultures, being deeply embedded in  belief systems and religious worship practices.

Roosters are sometimes used for a divination practice called Alectryomancy, a word deriving from the Greek for "rooster" and "divination". This would sometimes involve sacrificing a sacred rooster during a ritual cockfight to communicate with the gods.

Worship
Worship is an act of religious devotion usually directed towards a deity or God. For many, worship is not about an emotion, it is more about a recognition of a God. An act of worship may be performed individually, in an informal or formal group, or by a designated leader. Such acts may involve honoring.
Amberoid
Amberoid (foaled 1963 in Kentucky) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse best known for winning the 1966 American Classic, the Belmont Stakes.

Amberoid was conditioned for racing by future Hall of Fame trainer Lucien Laurin and ridden primarily by another future Hall of Fame inductee, Bill Boland. Going into the 1966 U.S. Triple Crown series, Amberoid won the Wood Memorial Stakes. He then finished seventh in the Kentucky Derby and third in the Preakness Stakes before winning the final leg of the Triple Crown, the Belmont Stakes.

When his racing career was over, Amberoid stood at stud in the United States from 1969 to 1973, after which he stood in Japan until he died on June 30, 1985.

Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing
The Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing, often shortened to Triple Crown, is a series of horse races for Thoroughbreds, often restricted to three-year-olds. Winning all three of these Thoroughbred horse races is considered the greatest accomplishment in Thoroughbred racing. The term originated in mid-19th-century England and nations where Thoroughbred racing is popular, each having their own Triple Crown series.

Marie Mercury Roth
Marie Mercury Roth (April 30, 1926 – January 3, 2020) was an American synthetic organic chemist. She was the first female Ph.D. candidate at the chemistry department of University of Wisconsin–Madison, where she worked with William Summer Johnson. She received her Doctorate of Philosophy in 1951 for the Application of the Favorskii rearrangement to the problem of angular methylation.

Favorskii rearrangement
In organic chemistry, the Favorskii rearrangement is a reaction of α-halo ketones with a nucleophilic base to acyl derivatives.  In the rearrangement, the substrate extrudes the carbonyl carbon to a primary position, which then acylates the base.  In the case of cyclic α-halo ketones, the Favorskii rearrangement constitutes a ring contraction:

String Quartet No. 22 (Mozart)
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed his String Quartet No. 22 in B♭ major, K. 589, in 1790 in Vienna after a visit to the court of King Friedrich Wilhelm II, King of Prussia. Mozart traveled with his friend and piano student Karl Alois, Prince Lichnowsky, and during these travels they had the opportunity to stop in Potsdam and attend an audience for Mozart at the King's court. Mozart was under financial stress and hoped to hold a position at the court of King Wilhelm II. Wilhelm was an amateur cellist, which is why the set of Prussian Quartets, of which the String Quartet No. 22 is a part, features an unusually prominent role for the cello. Despite such compositional efforts by Mozart to gain employment from the king, these quartets were sold without any dedication and published by Artaria.

Artaria
Artaria & Co. (Italian pronunciation: [artaˈriːa]) was one of the most important music publishing firms of the late 18th and 19th century. Founded in the 18th century in Vienna, the company is associated with many leading names of the classical era.
Lehmann discontinuity
The Lehmann discontinuity is an abrupt increase of P-wave and S-wave velocities at the depth of 220 km (140 mi) in Earth's mantle, discovered by seismologist Inge Lehmann.   It appears beneath continents, but not usually beneath oceans, and does not readily appear in globally averaged studies. Several explanations have been proposed: a lower limit to the pliable asthenosphere, a phase transition, and most plausibly, depth variation in the shear wave anisotropy.

Anisotropy
Anisotropy (/ˌænaɪˈsɒtrəpi, ˌænɪ-/) is the structural property of non-uniformity in different directions, as opposed to isotropy. An anisotropic object or pattern has properties that differ according to direction of measurement. For example, many materials exhibit very different physical or mechanical properties when measured along different axes, e.g. absorbance, refractive index, conductivity, and tensile strength.

An example of anisotropy is light coming through a polarizer. Another is wood, which is easier to split along its grain than across it because of the directional non-uniformity of the grain (the grain is the same in one direction, not all directions).
Jacomina Hondius
Jacomina Hondius (Latinized version of her Dutch name: Jacomijntje de Hond) (24 June 1558 – 02 January 1628) was a Flemish and Dutch calligrapher notable for being the first female European calligrapher to have signed examples of her work published.

Flemish people

Flemish was historically a geographical term, as all inhabitants of the medieval County of Flanders in modern-day Belgium, France and the Netherlands were referred to as "Flemings" irrespective of their ethnicity or language. The contemporary region of Flanders comprises a part of this historical county, as well as parts of the medieval Duchy of Brabant and the medieval County of Loon, where the modern national identity and culture gradually formed.

Hot Christian Songs
Hot Christian Songs is a music chart published weekly by Billboard magazine in the United States. It ranks the popularity of Christian songs using the same methodology developed for the Billboard Hot 100, the magazine's flagship songs chart, by incorporating data from the sales of downloads, streaming data, and airplay across all monitored radio stations.

From its inception in June 2003 through November 2013, the Hot Christian Songs chart ranked the top songs only by overall audience impressions of songs played on contemporary Christian music radio stations. Beginning with the chart dated December 7, 2013, the chart follows the same methodology used for the Hot 100 to compile its rankings. The Christian Airplay chart was created in unison with the change to continue to monitor airplay of songs on Christian radio.

The current number-one song on the chart as of the issue dated February 28 is "Hard Fought Hallelujah" by Brandon Lake.

Urban areas in Sweden
An urban area or tätort (lit. 'dense locality') in Sweden has a minimum of 200 inhabitants and may be a city, town or larger village. It is a purely statistical concept, not defined by any municipal or county boundaries. Larger urban areas synonymous with cities or towns (Swedish: stad for both terms) for statistical purposes have a minimum of 10,000 inhabitants. The same statistical definition is also used for urban areas in the other Nordic countries.

In 2018, there were nearly two thousand urban areas in Sweden, which were inhabited by 87% of the Swedish population.

Urban area is a common English translation of the Swedish term tätort. The official term in English used by Statistics Sweden is, however, "locality" (Swedish: ort). It could be compared with "census-designated places" in the United States.
