2024 UCI Africa Tour
The 2024 UCI Africa Tour is the 20th season of the UCI Africa Tour. The season began on 27 October with the 34th edition of Tour du Faso and will end on 6 October 2024.

The points leader, based on the cumulative results of previous races, wore the UCI Africa Tour cycling jersey.

Throughout the season, points were awarded to the top finishers of stages within stage races and the final general classification standings of each of the stages races and one-day events. The quality and complexity of a race also determined how many points were awarded to the top finishers: the higher the UCI rating of a race, the more points were awarded.
The UCI ratings from highest to lowest were as follows:

Multi-day events: 2.1 and 2.2

One-day events: 1.1 and 1.2

Tour du Faso
The Tour du Faso is a 10-day road bicycle racing stage race held in Burkina Faso in the late fall. The race is organised by the Amaury Sport Organisation, which also organises the Tour de France, and since 2005, the race has been part of the UCI Africa Tour.

The race was first held in 1987 and until 1998 was reserved for amateurs. Since 2005, it is organised as a 2.2 event on the UCI Africa Tour. The race covered 1,306 kilometres (812 mi) in 2006 and is televised on the Versus cable channel. In 2014, the Tour was cancelled because of the Ebola outbreak. It was cancelled again in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and in 2022 due to security issues.

Aitcho Islands (South Shetland Islands)
The Aitcho Islands (‘Aitcho’ standing for ‘H.O.’ i.e. ‘Hydrographic Office’) are a group of minor islands on the west side of the north entrance to English Strait separating Greenwich Island and Robert Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica, which are situated between Dee Island to the south and Table Island to the north.  The group is separated from Dee Island and Sierra Island to the southwest by Villalón Passage (62°24′48.3″S 59°46′12.3″W﻿ / ﻿62.413417°S 59.770083°W﻿ / -62.413417; -59.770083).   The area was visited by early 19th century sealers operating from nearby Clothier Harbour.  During the austral summer the islands are often visited by Antarctic cruise ships with tourists who land to watch wildlife.

The islands were mapped in 1935 during the oceanographic investigations carried out by the Discovery Committee, and named after the Hydrographic Office of the UK Admiralty.  Some of the island names were given by Chilean Antarctic expeditions between 1949 and 1951.

Discovery Committee
The Discovery Committee was a popular name for the Interdepartmental Committee for the Dependencies of the Falkland Islands established by the British Government to carry out scientific investigations (which became known as ‘Discovery Investigations’) and to propose nature resource conservation and economic development policies for the Falkland Islands Dependencies.

During more than 25 years (1925–51) of pioneering work, the Committee's research ships Discovery  (Robert Scott’s ship), William Scoresby and Discovery II collected an enormous amount of oceanographic, biological, and geographical data published in 38 volumes, contributing greatly to the knowledge of the world's southern regions.  Particularly extensive was the new data related to all aspects of the island of South Georgia.  Among the results of the investigations was also the discovery of the natural boundary of Antarctica, the Antarctic Convergence.

Orlando Bonsignori
Orlando Bonsignori (died 1273) was an Italian banker from Siena.

He was the son of Bonsignore di Bernardo, a minor merchant, but Orlando, together with his brother Bonifazio, expanded the family fortunes until in the 1230 he was among the largest  Sienese taxpayers.  Friendship with Pope Innocent IV led to the Bonsignori acting as his agents and bankers.

In 1255, after Bonifazio's death, Orlando formed a consortium called the Gran Tavola ("Great Table"), which soon became the most powerful bank in Europe.  It became the exclusive banker for the deposits of the income of the Papal States and, under Pope Clement IV, the ecclesiastical tithes for the Holy Land. The Gran Tavola supported Charles of Anjou in his conquest of the Kingdom of Sicily, and benefited greatly from his victory over the Hohenstaufen.

Orlando Bonsignori died in 1273. After his death the Gran Tavola soon declined and eventually went bankrupt in the early 14th century.

Hohenstaufen
The Hohenstaufen dynasty (/ˈhoʊənʃtaʊfən/, US also /-staʊ-/, German: [ˌhoːənˈʃtaʊfn̩]), also known as the Staufer, was a noble family of German origin that rose to rule the Duchy of Swabia from 1079, and to royal rule in the Holy Roman Empire during the Middle Ages from 1138 until 1254. The dynasty's most prominent rulers – Frederick I (1155), Henry VI (1191) and Frederick II (1220) – ascended the imperial throne and also reigned over Italy and Burgundy. The non-contemporary name of 'Hohenstaufen' is derived from the family's Hohenstaufen Castle on Hohenstaufen mountain at the northern fringes of the Swabian Jura, near the town of Göppingen. Under Hohenstaufen rule, the Holy Roman Empire reached its greatest territorial extent from 1155 to 1268.
California Department
The California Department (1865−1867) was a department of the Second Mexican Empire, located in Northwestern Mexico.

The department included all the Baja California peninsula. It did not include any of the former Alta California (the present-day U.S. state of California), which was ceded to the U.S. in 1848 under the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.

It was established by an imperial decree on March 3, 1865, which specified:

Department of California. Confined on the north with the United States. To the east with the Department of Arizona, from which it is separated by the Colorado River, and with the Sea of Cortez. To the south and west with the Pacific Ocean. All the islands that in both seas in fact and law correspond and should have corresponded to Mexico remain within its jurisdiction. Its capital shall be the port of La Paz.

The present-day Mexican states of Baja California and Baja California Sur are located where the department was.

Gulf of California
The Gulf of California (Spanish: Golfo de California), also known as the Sea of Cortés (Mar de Cortés) or Sea of Cortez, or less commonly as the Vermilion Sea (Mar Vermejo), is a marginal sea of the Pacific Ocean that separates the Baja California peninsula from the Mexican mainland. It is bordered by the states of Baja California, Baja California Sur, Sonora, and Sinaloa with a coastline of approximately 4,000 km (2,500 mi). Rivers that flow into the Gulf of California include the Colorado, Fuerte, Mayo, Sinaloa, Sonora, and the Yaqui. The surface of the gulf is about 160,000 km2 (62,000 sq mi). Maximum depths exceed 3,000 meters (9,800 ft) because of the complex geology, linked to plate tectonics.

The gulf is thought to be one of the most diverse seas on Earth and is home to more than 5,000 species of micro-invertebrates. Parts of the Gulf of California are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
