Agrostis hendersonii
Agrostis hendersonii is an uncommon species of grass known by the common name Henderson's bent grass. It is native to northern California and Oregon, where it is a rare member of the flora in scattered vernal pool habitats. It is an annual grass ranging in maximum height from 6 to 70 centimeters. It has short, narrow leaves only a few centimeters long. The inflorescence is a dense, narrow, cylindrical tuft no longer than 5 centimeters in length, made up of small spikelets with hairlike tips and bent awns.

Vernal pool
Vernal pools, also called vernal ponds or ephemeral pools, are seasonal pools of water that provide habitat for distinctive plants and animals. They are considered to be a unique type of wetland usually devoid of fish, and thus allow the safe development of natal amphibian and insect species unable to withstand competition or predation by fish. Certain tropical fish lineages (such as killifishes) have however, adapted to this habitat specifically.

Vernal pools are a type of wetland. They can be surrounded by many communities/species, including deciduous forest, grassland, lodgepole pine forest, blue oak woodland, sagebrush steppe, succulent coastal scrub and prairie. These pools are characteristic of Mediterranean climates, but occur in many other ecosystems.

Latvian Orthodox Church
The Latvian Orthodox Church (Latvian: Latvijas Pareizticīgā Baznīca) is an Eastern Orthodox church in Latvia, part of the wider Eastern Orthodoxy community. The primate of the church carries the title of Metropolitan of Riga and all Latvia (Latvian: Rīgas un visas Latvijas metropolīts). This position has been occupied since October 27, 1990, by Metropolitan Aleksandrs (Kudrjašovs).

Until 2022, the Latvian Orthodox Church was universally recognized as a self-governing part of the Russian Orthodox Church. On 8 September 2022, the Latvian parliament directed the Latvian Orthodox Church to accept a status of autocephaly, due to Patriarch Kirill's support of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. As of December 2022, no other Orthodox churches have recognized the autocephaly of the Latvian Church.

Autocephaly
Autocephaly (/ɔːtəˈsɛfəli/; from Greek  αὐτοκεφαλία (autokephalia) 'self-headed') is the status of a hierarchical Christian church whose head bishop does not report to any higher-ranking bishop. The term is primarily used in Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox churches. The status has been compared with that of the churches (provinces) within the Anglican Communion.
Arts District/6th Street station
Arts District/6th Street station is a proposed rapid transit station on the B and D Lines of the Los Angeles Metro Rail system, located on 6th Street in the Arts District of Los Angeles, California. It is planned to serve as the new eastern terminus of both lines and will be the only overground station on the heavy rail network if the elevated heavy rail options for the planned Sepulveda Transit Corridor are rejected.

Sepulveda Transit Corridor
The Sepulveda Transit Corridor is a two-phased planned rapid transit line in Los Angeles, California. Its first phase aims to connect the San Fernando Valley to the Los Angeles Basin through the Sepulveda Pass. A second phase would further extend the line southwards to connect with Los Angeles International Airport. The corridor is intended to relieve the heavily congested I-405 freeway through Sepulveda Pass and provide a fast public transit option on this north–south link. Phase 1 of the project would connect the G Line in the Valley to the D Line and E Line on the Westside and the K Line near Los Angeles International Airport. As of January 2026, the project is in the environmental review phase of planning, and construction is expected to be funded via a combination of local Measure M revenue and applications to federal grants. Pending these two requirements, the first phase is projected to open in 2033–2035.

Wilhelmina Drydock of ADM, in Dutch Wilhelminadok was the third steel floating dry dock in Amsterdam. It was built because in December 1896, a new lock in the North Sea Canal increased the size of ships that could reach the city.

Wilhelmina Drydock was owned by the ship repair company Amsterdamsche Droogdok Maatschappij. It was of course important for inspecting, maintaining and repairing vessels that used the port of Amsterdam. Other ships came to the city specifically to use the dry dock. Wilhelmina Drydock was also used in the later stages of constructing several ocean liners and warships.

Only twelve years after being taken into use, Wilhelminadok was outclassed by ADM commissioning a new, much larger floating dry dock. In 1959, Wilhelminadok was made longer and wider. In 1980, it was decommissioned when it was not included in ADM's successor company ADM BV.

Brigantine
A brigantine is a two-masted sailing vessel with a fully square-rigged foremast and at least two sails on the main mast: a square topsail and a gaff sail mainsail (behind the mast). The main mast is the second and taller of the two masts.

Older usages are looser; in addition to the rigorous definition above (attested from 1695), the Oxford English Dictionary includes two c. 1525 definitions: "a small vessel equipped both for sailing and rowing, swifter and more easily manœuvred than larger ships" and "(loosely) various kinds of foreign sailing and rowing vessels, as the galleon, galliot, etc."

Modern American definitions include vessels without any square sail(s) on the main mast.

Afrocygnus
Afrocygnus is an extinct genus of swan, which lived during the Late Miocene, and perhaps up to the Late Pliocene, in what is today North Africa. The only genus of swan known in Africa, aside from fragmentary Pleistocene remains found in East Africa and from occasional observations of vagrant European swans along the Mediterranean coast, it lived in what was during the Miocene a damp wetland spanning from Libya to Chad, alongside the Antracothere Libycosaurus and the early Homininae Sahelanthropus. The genus is considered as the sister taxon of the extant genus Cygnus. Fossils of the genus have been uncovered in the Sahabi Formation of Cyrenaica in Libya, and in the Toros-Menalla locality in the Djurab Desert of Northern Chad.

Libycosaurus
Libycosaurus ("Lizard of Libya")  was one of the last anthracothere genera.   It lived from the Middle to the Late Miocene, and ranged throughout Central and Northern Africa, and in Uganda, in what was then a lush, marshy environment.
