Draba burkei
Draba burkei is a species of flowering plant in the family Brassicaceae known by the common names snowbasin draba and Burke's draba. It is endemic to Utah in the United States, where it is known from Box Elder, Cache, Morgan, and Weber Counties. This plant was considered a variety of Draba maguirei until 2004, when it was elevated to species status.

This perennial herb has a branching caudex and forms clumps or mats. The stems are just a few centimeters long. The leaves are located on the caudex and in rosettes at the ends of the branches. The inflorescence is a raceme of up to 10 flowers with yellow petals about half a centimeter long.

This plant grows on outcroppings of quartzite, limestone, and calcareous shale.

One population of this plant had to be dug up and moved to the Denver Botanic Gardens to make way for a ski slope built for the 2002 Winter Olympics.

Tetramethylethylenediamine(dimethyl)nickel(II)
Tetramethylethylenediamine(dimethyl)nickel(II) is the organonickel complex with the formula (Me2NCH2CH2NMe2)NiMe2 (Me = CH3).  This yellow-brown, air-sensitive compound is popular precursor to diverse organonickel complexes.  It is prepared from the tmeda adduct of nickel(II) acetylacetonate by reaction with methyl lithium.

The tmeda ligand is easily displaced by bases such as bipyridine and diphosphines.  Treatment of the complex with electrophilic alkenes results in elimination of ethylene, giving alkene complexes.

Methyl group
In organic chemistry, a methyl group is an alkyl derived from methane, containing one carbon atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms, having chemical formula CH3 (whereas normal methane has the formula CH4). In formulas, the group is often abbreviated as Me. This hydrocarbon group occurs in many organic compounds. It is a very stable group in most molecules. While the methyl group is usually part of a larger molecule, bonded to the rest of the molecule by a single covalent bond (−CH3), it can be found on its own in any of three forms: methanide anion (CH−3), methylium cation (CH+3) or methyl radical (CH•3). The anion has eight valence electrons, the radical seven and the cation six. All three forms are highly reactive and rarely observed.
Augsburger Puppenkiste
The Augsburger Puppenkiste (German for: Augsburg Puppetchest) is a marionette theater in Augsburg, Germany.

Heilig-Geist-Spital
The Heilig-Geist-Spital (English: Holy Spirit Hospital) in Nuremberg was the largest hospital in the former Free Imperial City of Nuremberg. It was used as a hospital and nursing home.

Its chapel was also the depository of the Imperial Regalia, the crown jewels of the Holy Roman Empire, between 1424 and 1796. The regalia, among them the Holy Lance, were shown to believers once a year in a so-called Heiltumsweisung (worship show) on the fourteenth day after Good Friday. For coronations they were brought to Frankfurt Cathedral.

The hospital was partly built over the Pegnitz river. It now serves as a restaurant and senior home.
Salientia
Salientia (Latin salire, salio meaning "to jump") are a total group of amphibians that includes the order Anura, frogs and toads, and various extinct proto-frogs that are more closely related to frogs than they are to Urodela, salamanders and newts. The oldest fossil "proto-frog" appeared in the early Triassic of Madagascar, but molecular clock dating suggests their origins may extend further back to the Permian, 265 million years ago.

Molecular clock
The molecular clock  is a figurative term for a technique that uses the mutation rate of biomolecules to deduce the time in prehistory when two or more life forms diverged. The biomolecular data used for such calculations are usually nucleotide sequences for DNA, RNA, or amino acid sequences for proteins.
