Balle (Old Norse: Balliʀ) or Red-Balle (Old Norse: Rauðballiʀ) was a runemaster who was active in the areas of western Uppland, Västmanland, and northern Södermanland of Sweden during the second half of the 11th century.
Coeliades hanno
Coeliades hanno, the three pip policeman or western policeman, is a butterfly in the family Hesperiidae. It is found in Senegal, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, Nigeria, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea (Bioko), São Tomé, Gabon, the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, western Kenya, western Tanzania and Zambia. The habitat consists of forests and dense savanna.

Adults of both sexes are attracted to flowers and adult males also feed on bird droppings.

The larvae feed on Flabellaria paniculata and Acridocarpus species.

Bioko
Bioko (/biːˈoʊkoʊ/; Spanish: [biˈoko] ⓘ; Bube: Ëtulá a Ëri; historically known as Fernando Pó, European Portuguese pronunciation: [fɨɾˈnɐ̃.dʊ ˈpɔ]) is an island of Equatorial Guinea. It is located 32 km (20 mi) south of the coast of Cameroon, and 160 km (99 mi) northwest of the northernmost part of mainland Equatorial Guinea. Malabo, on the north coast of the island, is the former capital city of Equatorial Guinea. Bioko's population was 335,048 at the 2015 census and it covers an area of 2,017 km2 (779 sq mi), making it the fourth largest island in Africa (after Madagascar, Socotra and Tenerife). The island is part of the Cameroon line of volcanoes and is located off the Cameroon coast, in the Bight of Biafra portion of the Gulf of Guinea. Its geology is volcanic; its highest peak is Pico Basile at 3,012 m (9,882 ft).
Pioneer PR-7820
The Pioneer PR-7820 was the first mass-produced industrial LaserDisc player, sold originally as the MCA DiscoVision PR-7820. This unit was used in many General Motors dealerships as a source of training videos and presentation of GM's new line of cars and trucks in the late 1970s and early 1980s. After MCA DiscoVision shut down, Pioneer continued to sell the player under the Pioneer name as the Pioneer Model-III. The unit was a full Level-III player and could accept a data-dump from discs themselves. It could also be controlled by an external computer and could be genlocked to external video sources.

Genlock
Genlock (generator locking) is a technique for synchronizing multiple sources based on one source or on a reference signal from a signal generator.

In video applications, the goal is to ensure synchronous timing across multiple inputs to, for example, cut between multiple camera recordings of a live event.

When sources are synchronized in this way, they are said to be generator-locked, or genlocked.
Iskender Pasha (governor of Egypt)
Iskender Pasha (died 1571) was an Ottoman statesman. He was the governor of Egypt for the Ottoman Empire from 1556 to 1559. Iskender Pasha was muslim, a member of the faith of Islam according to his role as beylerbey. During his term as governor (beylerbey), he had many works of architecture built in Cairo, especially between Bab Zuweila and Bab al-Khalq. However, the area was mostly renovated in the 19th century during modernization attempts. After his time as the governor general of Egypt, Iskender Pasha became the governor general of Anadolu and Buda from 1564-1566. He eventually rose to hsi greatest amount of power when he was made Kaymakam-Vizier. This appointment during a campaign in Instanbul of the Sultan Suleyman gave him the power to more directly manage governmental affairs. During his time leading Anadolu and Buda, he took part in the conquest of Cyprus. Iskender Pasha died shortly after the fall of Famagusta in 1571 and was buried there.

Bab Zuwayla
Bab Zuwayla or Bab Zuweila (Arabic: باب زويلة) is one of three remaining gates in the city walls of historic Cairo in Egypt. It was also known as Bawabat al-Mitwali or Bab al-Mitwali. The gate was built in 1092 by the Fatimid vizier Badr al-Jamali. The two minaret towers on top of it were added between 1415 and 1422 as part of the construction of the adjacent Mosque of Sultan al-Muayyad. Today it remains one of the major landmarks of Cairo.
Hole in the Moon
Hole in the Moon (Hebrew: חור בלבנה; Hor B'Levana) is a 1964 Israeli avant-garde-satiric movie directed by Uri Zohar. It was the first film to emerge from the New Sensitivity movement in Israeli cinema.

The film comprises two parts and employs the movie within a movie structure. The title of the film derives from a famous Hebrew song (that itself is based on a Czech folk melody) and also pays tribute to Georges Méliès's film A Trip to the Moon (1902). It was Zohar's final political film and since its release has garnered the status of Israeli cinema classic.

Georges Méliès

Urban areas in Sweden
An urban area or tätort (lit. 'dense locality') in Sweden has a minimum of 200 inhabitants and may be a city, town or larger village. It is a purely statistical concept, not defined by any municipal or county boundaries. Larger urban areas synonymous with cities or towns (Swedish: stad for both terms) for statistical purposes have a minimum of 10,000 inhabitants. The same statistical definition is also used for urban areas in the other Nordic countries.

In 2018, there were nearly two thousand urban areas in Sweden, which were inhabited by 87% of the Swedish population.

Urban area is a common English translation of the Swedish term tätort. The official term in English used by Statistics Sweden is, however, "locality" (Swedish: ort). It could be compared with "census-designated places" in the United States.
Sasanoa River
The Sasanoa River is an 8.6-mile-long (13.8 km) tidal channel in the Midcoast region of Maine, connecting the Kennebec River with the Sheepscot River.

The Sasanoa River has two distinct sections. The western section begins at the Kennebec River opposite the city of Bath and runs east, forming the boundary between the towns of Arrowsic and Woolwich, and passing through its narrowest channel at Upper Hell Gate.  The western section ends at Hockomock Bay, a water body also crossed by the Back River and containing numerous tidal inlets.  The eastern section of the Sasanoa River begins 1 mile (1.6 km) northeast of the river's western section and flows southeast through Lower Hell Gate and Goose Rock Passage to the Sheepscot River.  This section of the river forms the boundary between Lincoln and Sagadahoc counties, as well as between the towns of Westport and Georgetown.

Colossus class battleship
Two classes of battleship of the Royal Navy are known as the Colossus class:

The first Colossus class consisted of two 2nd class battleships launched in 1882.

The second Colossus class consisted of two dreadnoughts launched in 1910 that served in World War I.

Colossus-class battleship (1910)
The Colossus-class battleships were a pair of dreadnought battleships built for the Royal Navy (RN) at the end of the first decade of the 20th century, the last 12-inch-gunned (305 mm) battleships built for the RN. The sister ships spent their whole careers assigned to the Home and Grand Fleets, often serving as flagships. Aside from participating in the Battle of Jutland in May 1916, and the inconclusive action of 19 August several months later, their service during the First World War generally consisted of routine patrols and training in the North Sea.

The Colossus class were deemed obsolete by the end of the war in 1918 and were reduced to reserve the following year. Hercules was sold for scrap in 1921, although Colossus was briefly used as a training ship. She was hulked in 1923 and sold for scrap five years later.
OpenAL
OpenAL (Open Audio Library) is a cross-platform audio application programming interface (API). It is designed for efficient rendering of multichannel three-dimensional positional audio. Its API style and conventions deliberately resemble those of OpenGL. OpenAL is an environmental 3D audio library, which can add realism to a game by simulating attenuation (degradation of sound over distance), the Doppler effect (change in frequency as a result of motion), and material densities.

OpenAL aimed to originally be an open standard and open-source replacement for proprietary (and generally incompatible with one another) 3D audio APIs such as DirectSound and Core Audio, though in practice has largely been implemented on various platforms as a wrapper around said proprietary APIs or as a proprietary and vendor-specific fork. While the reference implementation later became proprietary and unmaintained, there are open source implementations such as OpenAL Soft available.

Acoustic attenuation
In acoustics, acoustic attenuation is a measure of the energy loss of sound propagation through an acoustic transmission medium. Most media have viscosity and are therefore not ideal media. When sound propagates in such media, there is always thermal consumption of energy caused by viscosity. This effect can be quantified through the Stokes's law of sound attenuation. Sound attenuation may also be a result of heat conductivity in the media as has been shown by G. Kirchhoff in 1868. The Stokes-Kirchhoff attenuation formula takes into account both viscosity and thermal conductivity effects.

For heterogeneous media, besides media viscosity, acoustic scattering is another main reason for removal of acoustic energy. Acoustic attenuation in a lossy medium plays an important role in many scientific researches and engineering fields, such as medical ultrasonography, vibration and noise reduction.

Philippine offshore gaming operator
Philippine offshore gaming operators (POGOs), renamed Internet gaming licensees (IGLs) in October 2023, are firms operating in the Philippines that offer online gambling services to markets outside the country, with a significant portion catering to the Chinese market. POGOs began operating in the Philippines in 2003.

They have been regulated by the Philippine government since 2016, at the start of Rodrigo Duterte's presidency. During this period, the industry flourished and generated significant revenues for the Philippine government. POGOs were eventually banned and declared illegal by President Bongbong Marcos.
