Junior commissioned officer
Junior commissioned officer (JCO) is a group of military ranks which is higher than havildar (non-commissioned officer) and lower than lieutenant (commissioned officer).

Stratigraphic unit
A stratigraphic unit is a volume of rock of identifiable origin and relative age range that is defined by the distinctive and dominant, easily mapped and recognizable petrographic, lithologic or paleontologic features (facies) that characterize it.

Units must be mappable and distinct from one another, but the contact need not be particularly distinct. For instance, a unit may be defined by terms such as "when the sandstone component exceeds 75%".

Stellar encounter
A stellar encounter is an astronomical event in which two or more stars get within a close distance of each other. Encounters between stars outside dense regions are rare, but they are more frequent in regions dense with stars such as star clusters or multiple star systems. Impacts between two stars do happen but are extremely rare events. Such stellar encounters can caused both star systems to exchange materials such as cosmic dust and planets. After such encounters, especially for stars with protoplanetary disk, both systems will come out with material from the other system. Stars with protoplanetary disk in stellar rich regions undergo background heating, disk truncation and photoevaporation. Theses effects can halt the growth of gas giant planets during their planetary formation phase or not form any gas giant planets at all.

Protoplanetary disk
A protoplanetary disk is a rotating circumstellar disc of dense gas and dust surrounding a young newly formed  star, a T Tauri star, or Herbig Ae/Be star. The protoplanetary disk may not be considered an accretion disk; while the two are similar, an accretion disk is hotter and spins much faster; it is also found on black holes, not stars. This process should not be confused with the accretion process thought to build up the planets themselves. Externally illuminated photo-evaporating protoplanetary disks are called proplyds.

Henry Washington Survey Marker
The Henry Washington Survey Marker is a survey marker in San Bernardino National Forest in San Bernardino County, California. The marker served as the earliest initial points of the San Bernardino Baseline and Meridian, which in turn mark the starting points for the surveying and subdivision of land in Southern California. Colonel Henry Washington placed the marker in 1852 at the beginning of the U.S. Surveyor General's Office's land survey of Southern California, the first survey of the region. Later surveys in 1897 and 1907 set new initial points for the survey east and west of the marker; these points replaced Washington's marker as the official initial points in 1917. Washington's original marker nonetheless still serves as a point along the baseline.

The marker was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 12, 1975.

Initial point
In surveying, an initial point is a datum (a specific point on the surface of the earth) that marks the beginning point for a cadastral survey. The initial point establishes a local geographic coordinate system for the surveys that refer to that point.

An initial point is defined by the intersection of a principal meridian and a base line.
Joseph-Léon Deslières
Joseph-Léon Deslières (June 12, 1893 – March 9, 1986) was a Liberal party member of the House of Commons of Canada. He was born in Sutton, Quebec and became a wholesaler by career.

He was first elected at the Brome—Missisquoi riding in a by-election on 26 May 1952 following the death of incumbent member Henri Gosselin. Deslières was re-elected there in the 1953 federal election and re-elected for another full term in 1957. After completing his term in the 23rd Canadian Parliament, he left federal politics and did not seek re-election in the 1958 election. His wife, Adelia Lebeau died aged 73 in 1966. She was buried in Sutton. Joseph Desliéres died in 1986 in Sutton.

1958 Canadian federal election
The 1958 Canadian federal election was held to elect members  of the House of Commons of Canada of the 24th Parliament of Canada on March 31, 1958, just nine months after the 23rd election. It transformed Prime Minister John Diefenbaker's minority into the largest majority government in Canadian history and the second-largest percentage of the popular vote; only Unionist Prime Minister Robert Borden’s triumph in the 1917 federal election, at 56.93 percent, was higher. Although the Tories would surpass their 1958-seat total in the 1984 election, the 1958 result (achieved in a smaller House) remains unmatched both in terms of percentage of seats (78.5%) and the size of the government majority over all opposition parties (a 151-seat majority). Voter turnout was 79.4%, the highest percentage of eligible electors to cast a ballot in Canadian federal election history.
Tamayo Perry
Tamayo Perry (April 15, 1975 – June 23, 2024) was an American professional surfer, lifeguard, and actor. He was a regular fixture on Oahu's Banzai Pipeline, one of the world's most notable reef surf breaks, and was considered as one of the most prominent pipeline specialists of all time. His death was the first fatal shark attack on Oahu in over 20 years.

Surf break
A surf break (also break, shore break, or big wave break) is a permanent (or semi-permanent) obstruction such as a coral reef, rock, shoal, or headland that causes a wave to break, forming a barreling wave or other wave that can be surfed, before it eventually collapses. The topography of the seabed determines the shape of the wave and type of break. Since shoals can change size and location, affecting the break, it takes commitment and skill to find good breaks. Some surf breaks are quite dangerous, since the surfer can collide with a reef or rocks below the water.

Surf breaks may be defended vehemently by surfers, as human activities and constructions can have unintended and unpredictable consequences on the quality of the break.
