Silicide
A silicide is a type of chemical compound that combines silicon and a usually more electropositive element.

Silicon is more electropositive than carbon. In terms of their physical properties, silicides are structurally closer to borides than to carbides.  Because of size differences however silicides are not isostructural with borides and carbides.

Bonds in silicides range from conductive metal-like structures to covalent or ionic. Silicides of all non-transition metals have been described except beryllium.  Silicides are used in interconnects.

Metal–semiconductor junction
In solid-state physics, a metal–semiconductor (M–S) junction is a type of electrical junction in which a metal comes in close contact with a semiconductor material.  It is the oldest type of practical semiconductor device.  M–S junctions can either be rectifying or non-rectifying.  The rectifying metal–semiconductor junction forms a Schottky barrier, making a device known as a Schottky diode, while the non-rectifying junction is called an ohmic contact.  (In contrast, a rectifying semiconductor–semiconductor junction, the most common semiconductor device today, is known as a p–n junction.)

Metal–semiconductor junctions are crucial to the operation of all semiconductor devices. Usually, an ohmic contact is desired so that electrical charge can be conducted easily between the active region of a transistor and the external circuitry.
Occasionally, however, a Schottky barrier is useful, as in Schottky diodes, Schottky transistors, and metal–semiconductor field effect transistors.

Khurram Inam
Khurram Inam (born 28 October 1966, in Karachi) is a Pakistani skeet shooter. He is a three time Olympian. He represented  Pakistan at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, 2004 Athens Olympics and 2012 London Olympics.

Shooting at the 2004 Summer Olympics – Men's skeet
The men's skeet shooting competition at the 2004 Summer Olympics was held on August 21 and 22 at the Markópoulo Olympic Shooting Centre near Athens, Greece.

The event consisted of two rounds: a qualifier and a final. In the qualifier, each shooter fired 5 sets of 25 shots in the set order of skeet shooting.

In this last Olympic skeet competition before rules were changed, Marko Kemppainen attained a perfect 125 to break the world and Olympic records in the qualification round, but missed one target in the final, allowing Andrea Benelli to catch him up with a score of 149 to force the gold medal shoot-off. Meanwhile, Cuba's Juan Miguel Rodríguez had shared a score of 147 targets with Qatar's Nasser Al-Attiyah and United States' Shawn Dulohery, until he fired a perfect ten in a three-way shoot-off to grab the bronze.
Calum MacDonald (musician)
Calum MacDonald  (Scottish Gaelic: Calum Dòmhnallach /kalˠəm dɔ̃ːnəlˠəx/; born 12 November 1953) is a musician who was a founder member of and percussionist in the Scottish Celtic rock band Runrig. MacDonald was the band's primary songwriter with his older brother Rory MacDonald from 1973 to 2018. Generally, Rory wrote the melodies and Calum the lyrics.

Celtic rock
Celtic rock is a genre of folk rock, as well as a form of Celtic fusion which incorporates Celtic music, instrumentation and themes into a rock music context. It has been prolific since the early 1970s and can be seen as a key foundation of the development of successful mainstream Celtic bands and popular musical performers, as well as creating important derivatives through further fusions. It has played a major role in the maintenance and definition of regional and national identities and in fostering a pan-Celtic culture. It has also helped to communicate those cultures to external audiences.
A Date with a Dream
A Date with a Dream is a 1948 British musical comedy film directed by Dicky Leeman and starring Terry-Thomas, Jeannie Carson and Wally Patch. It was written by Robert S. Baker, Monty Berman, Leeman and Carl Nystrom. This was one of Terry-Thomas's earliest films and is reputedly partly based on his own experiences. Terry-Thomas was yet to develop his cad persona, and a then little-known Norman Wisdom appears in a very brief, non-speaking role. Its plot concerns a wartime group of musical entertainers who meet up a year after being demobbed and decide to reform their act.

Demobilization
Demobilization or demobilisation (see spelling differences) is the process of standing down a nation's armed forces from combat-ready status. This may be as a result of victory in war, or because a crisis has been peacefully resolved and military force is no longer necessary. Demobilization is the opposite of mobilization, calling up forces for active military service. Forceful demobilization of a defeated enemy is called demilitarization.

2023 Dominican presidential election
An indirect presidential election was held on 27 September 2023 to elect the next President of Dominica.

President Charles Savarin was ineligible for re-election, the Constitution of Dominica prohibiting him from a third term.

Prime Minister of Dominica Roosevelt Skerrit of the Dominica Labour Party proposed Sylvanie Burton as a candidate, making her the likely first woman president and first of the indigenous Kalinago community.

Sylvanie Burton however did not receive the support of opposition leader Jesma Paul-Victor, making an election by unanimity impossible. Skerrit thus informed the parliament of the situation on 12 September, triggering an election two weeks later between Burton and the candidate of the opposition, Anette Sanford, who is also a Kalinago woman

Burton was elected on 27 September, and was sworn in on 2 October.

Charles Savarin
Charles Angelo Savarin, DAH (born 2 October 1943) is a politician from Dominica who served as President of Dominica from 2013 to 2023. He is a member of the Dominica Labour Party and served for a time as Minister for National Security, Immigration, Labour and the Public Service.

Jonny Hurst
Jonny Hurst (born 11 June 1966), originally from Solihull, Birmingham, latterly Wanstead, north London, is England's first (and to date only) Chant Laureate.

Barclaycard set up the competition to choose a Chant Laureate, who would be paid £10,000 to tour Premiership stadiums and compose football chants for the 2004–5 football season. The judging panel was chaired by the Poet Laureate, Andrew Motion, who said "What we felt we were tapping into was a huge reservoir of folk poetry." Ironically, Hurst, a Birmingham City fan, composed the winning entry about Birmingham's local rivals Aston Villa. The chant, sung to the tune of Barry Manilow's Copacabana, refers to that club's star player, Juan Pablo Ángel. Some 1,500 people applied for the role.

A veteran of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and the Canal Cafe Theatre NewsRevue, Jonny Hurst is both a comedy writer and a lawyer.

He published his first book, 'Becoming a Lawyer', in July 2013.

North London
North London is the northern part of London, England, north of the River Thames and the City of London. It extends from Clerkenwell and Finsbury, on the edge of the City of London financial district, to Greater London's boundary with Hertfordshire. The term is occasionally used in reference to all of London north of the River Thames.

The term differentiates the area from South London, East London and West London. Some parts of North London are also part of Central London.
Uberto Allucingoli
Uberto Allucingoli was an Italian cardinal and cardinal-nephew of Pope Lucius III, his uncle who ostensibly elevated him with the title of San Lorenzo in Damaso in 1182.

Modern scholars consider him a fictitious individual who owes his existence to a confusion with Uberto Crivelli, who was created cardinal-priest of San Lorenzo in Damaso in December 1182 and then became Pope Urban III (1185–1187).

San Lorenzo in Damaso
The Minor Basilica of St. Lawrence in Damaso (Basilica Minore di San Lorenzo in Damaso) or simply San Lorenzo in Damaso is a parish and titular church in central Rome, Italy that is dedicated to St. Lawrence, deacon and martyr. It is incorporated into the Palazzo della Cancelleria, which enjoys the extraterritoriality of the Holy See.
Mihail Arion
Mihail Arion was a diplomat for Romania. He started his career at the Romanian legation in Petrograd. After World War I he supported Nicolae Titulescu's policies. In 1934 he was appointed secretary general of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He was relieved of his duties on August 29, 1936, when Nicolae Titulescu was dismissed.

Legation
A legation was a diplomatic representative office of lower rank than an embassy. Whereas an embassy was headed by an ambassador, a legation was headed by a minister. Ambassadors outranked ministers and had precedence at official events. Legations were originally the most common form of diplomatic mission, but they fell out of favor after World War II and were upgraded to embassies.
Disability in Sierra Leone
According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 15% of the world's population experience some form of disability or impairment. The proportion of disabled people is much higher in Sierra Leone, a West African country which had emerged from a decade-long civil war back in 2002 where the trademark of the rebel groups was to hack off the limbs of civilians.

It is estimated that there are about 450,000 disabled people in Sierra Leone, although this number may be an under-representation. Common disability issues include blindness, deafness, war wounded including amputees, and polio.

Deafness
Deafness has varying definitions in cultural and medical contexts. In medical contexts, the meaning of deafness is hearing loss that precludes a person from understanding spoken language, an audiological condition. In this context it is written with a lower case d. It later came to be used in a cultural context to refer to those who primarily communicate with a deafness aid or through sign language regardless of hearing ability, often capitalized as Deaf and referred to as "big D Deaf" in speech and sign. The two definitions overlap but are not identical, as hearing loss includes cases that are not severe enough to impact spoken language comprehension, while cultural Deafness includes hearing people who use sign language, such as children of deaf adults.
Batangan Peninsula
The Ba Làng An Peninsula (Vietnamese: mũi Ba Làng An, lit. 'land nose of Three Villages called An') is a peninsula in Quảng Ngãi Province, Vietnam, northeast of Quảng Ngãi and 32 kilometres (20 mi) south of Chu Lai. The name was often mispronounced as "Ba Tang An" and known as Batangan during the Vietnam War, although Far Eastern Economic Review and other sources continue to refer to the "Ba Lang An peninsula".

Quảng Ngãi
Quảng Ngãi (listenⓘ) is a city in central Vietnam. It serves as the capital city of Quảng Ngãi Province. Quảng Ngãi City borders Tư Nghĩa District to the South and West, Sơn Tịnh District to the Northwest and Bình Sơn District to the North. It has an area of 160.15 km2 and population of 278,496 inhabitants.
Bat Hefer
Bat Hefer (Hebrew: בת חפר, lit. 'Daughter of Hefer') is a community settlement in the Sharon plain in Israel. Located east of Netanya and adjacent to two kibbutzim; Bahan and Yad Hana, it covers 1,000 dunams and falls under the jurisdiction of the Hefer Valley Regional Council. The village is between Highway 6 to the west and the Green Line on the east. In 2023 it had a population of 4,982.

Sharon plain
32°24′00″N 34°52′59″E﻿ / ﻿32.400°N 34.883°E﻿ / 32.400; 34.883

The Sharon plain (Hebrew: הַשָּׁרוֹן, romanized: HaSharon; Arabic: سهل الشارون, romanized: Sahl al-Shārūn) is the central section of the Israeli coastal plain. The name Sharon is derived from the Akkadian word "A-Sharanu" which literally translates to a "thick forest," which the area was until its deforestation in the late 19th century. The plain lies between the Mediterranean Sea to the west and the Samarian Hills, 15 km (9.3 mi) to the east. It stretches from Nahal Taninim, a stream marking the southern end of Mount Carmel in the north, to the Yarkon River in the south, at the northern limit of Tel Aviv, over a total of about 90 km (56 mi). The level of the Sharon plain is connected to the level of the Mediterranean Sea by the Sharon Escarpment.

Parts of the plain are included in the Central, Haifa and Tel Aviv Districts of Israel.
Estuarine water circulation
Estuarine water circulation is controlled by the inflow of rivers, the tides, rainfall and evaporation, the wind, and other oceanic events such as an upwelling, an eddy, and storms.  Estuarine water circulation patterns are influenced by vertical mixing and stratification, and can affect residence time and exposure time.

Upwelling
Upwelling is an oceanographic phenomenon that involves wind-driven motion of dense, cooler, and usually nutrient-rich water from deep water towards the ocean surface. It replaces the warmer and usually nutrient-depleted surface water. The nutrient-rich upwelled water stimulates the growth and reproduction of primary producers such as phytoplankton. The biomass of phytoplankton and the presence of cool water in those regions allow upwelling zones to be identified by cool sea surface temperatures (SST) and high concentrations of chlorophyll a.

The increased availability of nutrients in upwelling regions results in high levels of primary production and thus fishery production.  Approximately 25% of the total global marine fish catches come from five upwellings, which occupy only 5% of the total ocean area. Upwellings that are driven by coastal currents or diverging open ocean have the greatest impact on nutrient-enriched waters and global fishery yields.
Marianne Edwards
Marianne Edwards (December 9, 1930 – November 8, 2013) was an American child actress who appeared in the Our Gang film series from 1934 to 1936.  She also appeared in several feature films in the 1930s, including Gold Diggers Of 1933, Babes In Toyland, and Stand Up and Cheer!.

Edwards was signed to a five-year contract with Hal Roach Studios in 1935, when she was just four years old, and publicized as competition for Shirley Temple.

Edwards' most memorable Our Gang appearance was as the five-year-old Amateur Night contestant "Daisy Dimple, Dancer Par Excellence" suddenly stricken with stage fright in Beginner's Luck. In the film George "Spanky" McFarland wins the prize money for her so she can buy her dancing costume ("Girlie, the dress is in the bag!"). In another classic installment, Edwards was wooed by Spanky and Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer in Sprucin' Up, only to be won over by rich kid Jerry Tucker.

Child actor
A child actor or child actress is a child acting on stage, television or in movies. An adult who began their acting career as a child may also be called a child actor or a "former child actor". Closely associated terms include teenage actor or teen actor, which refer to an actor who gained popularity as a teenager.

Many child actors find themselves struggling to adapt as they become adults, mainly due to typecasting. Macaulay Culkin and Lindsay Lohan are two particularly famous child actors who eventually experienced much difficulty with the fame they acquired at an early age. Some child actors have successful acting careers as adults; for example Mickey Rooney, Elizabeth Taylor, Jodie Foster, Christian Bale, Drew Barrymore, Saoirse Ronan. Other child actors have gone on to successful careers in other fields, including director Ron Howard, politicians Lech and Jarosław Kaczyński, James Jebbia, and singer Jenny Lewis.
Pélagie
Pélagie is a Canadian epic musical written by Allen Cole and Vincent de Tourdonnet. It is based on the 1979 novel Pélagie-la-Charette (fr) by Acadian writer Antonine Maillet. It is about the Acadian widow Pélagie LeBlanc who in the late 1770s led her Acadian people back to Grand Pré from the American South, where they had been deported in 1755.

Epic theatre
Epic theatre (German: episches Theater) is a theatrical movement that arose in the early to mid-20th century from the theories and practice of a number of theatre practitioners who responded to the political climate of the time through the creation of new political dramas. Epic theatre is not meant to refer to the scale or the scope of the work, but rather to the form that it takes.  Epic theatre emphasizes the audience's perspective and reaction to the piece through a variety of techniques that deliberately cause them to individually engage in a different way. The purpose of epic theatre is not to encourage an audience to suspend their disbelief, but rather to force them to see their world as it is.
Keiō Dōbutsuen Line
The Keiō Dōbutsuen line (京王動物園線, Keiō Dōbutsuen-sen; "Keio Zoo Line") is a railway line in Hino, Tokyo, Japan, owned by the Keio Corporation, which connects Takahatafudō on the Keiō Main Line and Tama-Dōbutsukōen (for Tama Zoo and the Keio Rail-Land railway amusement park).

It is a single track of 1,372 mm (4 ft 6 in) gauge. The line is electrified at 1,500 V DC.

Single-track railway
A single-track railway is a railway where trains traveling in both directions share the same track. Single track is usually found on lesser-used rail lines, often branch lines, where the level of traffic is not high enough to justify the cost of constructing and maintaining a second track.
Matteo Muccignat
Matteo Muccignat (Pordenone, 8 August 1985) is a retired Italian rugby union player. His usual position was as a Prop and he played for Valorugby Emilia in Top12.

Until 2015–16 Pro12 season he played for Benetton Treviso.

In 2010 Muccignat was also named in the Italy A squad for 2010 IRB Nations Cup.

2010 IRB Nations Cup
The 2010 IRB Nations Cup was the fifth edition of the international rugby union tournament, a competition created by the International Rugby Board.  It pits the "A" Teams of the stronger (Tier 1) rugby nations (Argentina Jaguars, Italy A and Scotland A) against some of the Tier 2 and 3 nations (Romania, Namibia and Georgia).

For the fourth consecutive year the event was held in Bucharest, Romania.  Scotland A returned to defend their title, but Namibia were the overall winners of the tournament.

The competition format was a modified round-robin whereby each team played 3 of the other 5 teams.  The competition was played over three match days, with three matches played consecutively on each day.
