Ben Hana
Bernard Hana, a.k.a. "Blanket Man" (1957 – 15 January 2012), was a homeless man who wandered the inner city streets of Wellington, New Zealand. He was a local fixture and something of a celebrity and was typically found on the footpath in the precincts of Cuba Street and Courtenay Place.

Hana was a self-proclaimed devotee of the Māori sun god Tama-nui-te-rā and claimed that he should wear as few items of clothing as possible, as an act of religious observance. As a result, he would sometimes remove all his clothing, which resulted in the attendance of police officers.

His nickname "Blanket Man" was a reference to his usual mode of dress, which was a single blanket, long dreadlocks, and either a loin cloth or briefs. His activities and presence provoked a degree of public debate within Wellington.

It is believed Hana chose to live on the streets after killing a friend in a drunk-driving incident, as a form of self-penance.

Dreadlocks
Dreadlocks, also known as dreads or locs, are a hairstyle made of rope-like strands of hair. Locs can form naturally in very curly hair, or they can be created with techniques like twisting, backcombing, or crochet.

Billionaire
A billionaire is a person whose net worth is at least one billion units of a given currency, typically USD. It is a sub-category of the concept of the ultra high-net-worth individual. The American business magazine Forbes produces a global list of known U.S. dollar billionaires every year and updates an internet version of this list in real time. The American oil magnate John D. Rockefeller became the world's first confirmed billionaire in 1916.

Nineteen individuals had attained the status of centibillionaires, each with a net worth of at least $100 billion, as of January 2026. As of March 2025, there are 3028 billionaires worldwide, with a combined wealth of over $16.1 trillion, up nearly $2 trillion over 2024.
Donetsk Raion
Donetsk Raion (Ukrainian: Донецький район, romanized: Donetskyi raion; Russian: Донецкий район) is a prospective raion (district) of Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine. It was formally created in July 2020 as part of the reform of administrative divisions of Ukraine. The center of the raion is in the city of Donetsk. Population: 1,484,514 (2022 estimate). Most of the area of the raion is occupied by Russia, which continues to use the old, pre-2020 administrative divisions of Ukraine. Much of the raion was occupied by Russian-controlled militias during the Donbas war until the village of Kruta Balka was the only unoccupied locality. In the 2022 Russian invasion, the remainder was occupied.

Raions of Ukraine
A raion (Ukrainian: район, romanized: raion; pl. райони, raiony), often translated as district, is the second-level administrative division in Ukraine. Raions were created in a 1922 administrative reform of the Soviet Union, to which Ukraine, as the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, belonged.

On 17 July 2020, the Verkhovna Rada (Ukraine's parliament) approved an administrative reform to merge most of the 490 raions, along with the "cities of regional significance", which were previously outside the raions, into just 136 reformed raions. Most tasks of the raions (education, healthcare, sport facilities, culture, and social welfare) were taken over by new hromadas, the subdivisions of raions. The 136 new districts include ten in Crimea, which have been de facto outside Ukrainian control since the start of the Russo-Ukrainian War in 2014.

1816 United States House of Representatives election in Indiana
The newly created state of Indiana elected its sole member of the U.S. House of Representatives in August 1816, in advance of statehood, to represent Indiana's at-large congressional district.

Democratic-Republican William Hendricks was elected with 80.2% of the vote over Allen Thom who received 19.7% of the vote.

The state was admitted December 11, 1816 and the new member was admitted on that day to the 14th Congress which would end March 3, 1817.

Hendricks was re-elected August 4, 1817 to the 15th Congress.

14th United States Congress
The 14th United States Congress was a meeting of the legislative branch of the United States federal government, consisting of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives. It met in the Old Brick Capitol in Washington, D.C. from March 4, 1815, to March 3, 1817, during the seventh and eighth years of James Madison's presidency. The apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives was based on the 1810 United States census. Both chambers had a Democratic-Republican majority.
Strictly determined game
In game theory, a strictly determined game is a game where the optimal strategy for each player does not depend on the strategy chosen by the other players. In such a game, a single outcome represents the most rational choice for both players, meaning neither can improve their result by unilaterally changing their move. This stable outcome is called a saddlepoint.

Many common games are strictly determined. For example, in tic-tac-toe, a game between two perfect players will always end in a draw. Both players know this, and any move away from optimal play will not improve their outcome if the other player continues to play optimally. Other finite combinatorial games, like chess, draughts, and go, are also strictly determined.

Tic-tac-toe
Tic-tac-toe (American English), noughts and crosses (Commonwealth English), or Xs and Os (Canadian or Irish English) is a paper-and-pencil game for two players who take turns marking the spaces in a three-by-three grid, one with Xs and the other with Os. A player wins when they mark all three spaces of a row, column, or diagonal of the grid, whereupon they traditionally draw a line through those three marks to indicate the win. It is a solved game, with a forced draw assuming best play from both players.

Lyall's wren
Lyall's wren or the Stephens Island wren (Traversia lyalli) is an extinct species of small, flightless passerine bird belonging to the family Acanthisittidae, the New Zealand wrens. It was once found throughout New Zealand, but by the time of its discovery by scientists in 1894, it could only be found on Stephens Island in Cook Strait. Often claimed to be a species driven extinct by only a single individual animal (a lighthouse keeper's cat named Tibbles), it was actually predated upon by the numerous feral cats found throughout the island. The wren was described almost simultaneously by both Walter Rothschild and Walter Buller. It became extinct shortly thereafter.

Bird extinction
Bird extinction is the complete elimination of all species members under the taxonomic class, Aves. Out of all known bird species, (approximately 11,154), 159 (1.4%) have become extinct, with 226 (2%) being critically endangered. There is a general consensus among ornithologists that if anthropogenic activities continue as current trends suggest, one-third of all bird species, and an even greater proportion of bird populations, will be rendered extinct by the end of the 21st century.

For critically endangered species, scientists estimate they will face extinction in a few decades without proper conservation efforts; for some of these species, the current presence of extant populations is uncertain.
2023 Speedway Grand Prix Qualification
The 2023 Individual Speedway World Championship Grand Prix Qualification or GP Challenge (held in 2022) was a series of motorcycle speedway meetings used to determine the three riders that qualified for the 2023 Speedway Grand Prix. The series consisted of four qualifying rounds at Abensberg, Debrecen, Žarnovica and Nagyhalász and the Grand Prix Challenge at Glasgow.  Preliminary national qualification events included the 2021 American Final, the Polish Golden Helmet and the DMU qualifier.

The three riders that qualified for the 2023 series were Kim Nilsson, Jack Holder and Max Fricke. Dan Bewley finished second in the Grand Prix Challenge, but he already qualified due to making the top six in the 2022 Speedway Grand Prix series.

In the final Anders Thomsen broke his leg in heat 14 but would later be selected as a permanent rider for the 2023 Speedway Grand Prix.

Golden Helmet (Poland)
The Golden Helmet (Polish: Turniej o Złoty Kask, ZK) is an annual speedway event in Poland. It has been organised by the Polish Motor Union (PZM) since 1961.

Rockaway (carriage)
Rockaway is a term applied to two types of carriage: a light, low, United States four-wheel carriage with a fixed top and open sides that may be covered by waterproof curtains, and a heavy carriage enclosed at sides and rear, with a door on each side. The name may be derived from the town of Rockaway, New Jersey, where carriages were originally made.  It is featured in Herman Melville’s short story "Bartleby" as the narrator's mode of transport while avoiding the landlords and tenants looking for help in kicking Bartleby out.

But the Long Island Museum of Art, American History and Carriages, located in Stony Brook, New York, has a different explanation of the name.  According to the Museum, the carriage was designed and built in Jamaica, Queens—a major hub for New York City residents traveling to Long Island for recreation—and was called the Rockaway because it was used to shuttle passengers between Jamaica and the Atlantic Ocean beaches of Long Island's Rockaway Peninsula.

Bartleby, the Scrivener
"Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street" is a short story by American writer Herman Melville, first serialized anonymously in two parts in the November and December 1853 issues of Putnam's Magazine and reprinted with minor textual alterations in his The Piazza Tales in 1856. In the story, a Wall Street lawyer hires a new clerk, who, after an initial bout of hard work, refuses to make copies or do any other task required of him, responding to any request with the words "I would prefer not to."

The story likely takes place between 1848 and 1853, during the antebellum period in American history.

Numerous critical essays have been published about the story, which scholar Robert Milder describes as "unquestionably the masterpiece of the short fiction" in the Melville canon.
