Pioneer is the first studio album by Pioneer.
 Slospeak Records released the album on January 24, 2012.
Huerteales is the botanical name for an order of flowering plants.
 It is one of the 17 orders that make up the large eudicot group known as the rosids in the APG III system of plant classification.
 Within the rosids, it is one of the orders in Malvidae, a group formerly known as eurosids II and now known informally as the malvids.
 This is true whether Malvidae is circumscribed broadly to include eight orders as in APG III, or more narrowly to include only four orders.
 Huerteales consists of four small families, Petenaeaceae, Gerrardinaceae, Tapisciaceae, and Dipentodontaceae.
Survive AIDS is the group formerly known as ACT UP/Golden Gate.
 In 1990, the ACT UP chapter in San Francisco split into two chapters, the San Francisco chapter and the Golden Gate chapter.
 The catalyst for this was over decision-making processes, although it also involved many larger issues.
 According to ACT UP/Golden Gate, "ACT UP Golden Gate concentrated on issues involving treatment and treatment access while ACT UP San Francisco focused on broader social issues involving public policy and politics.
 Over the next several years the two ACT UP chapters worked separately and together on local and national AIDS issues."
 But in 1994, the two organizations stopped working together, and they grew further apart.
Plans & Disguises is a Canadian disco-grunge duo from Vancouver, British Columbia.
 The group formerly performed as Pardon My Striptease and is most known for their single 'Pray (for LJ)' which helped to raise over $100,000 for the BC Children's Hospital Foundation.
Reflections is the twelfth studio album recorded for Motown by Diana Ross & the Supremes.
 Released in 1968, it was the first regular studio LP to display the new billing of the group formerly known as "The Supremes."
 It contains the singles "Reflections", "In and Out of Love" and "Forever Came Today".
 Also included are covers of songs made famous by Martha and the Vandellas ("Love (Makes Me Do Foolish Things)") and The 5th Dimension ("Up, Up and Away").
 Also present are songs written by other famous names, including "Bah-Bah-Bah" co-written by Motown singer Brenda Holloway with her younger sister, Patrice, an original Smokey Robinson composition titled "Then", and "What the World Needs Now Is Love" by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, which Motown planned to release as a single in the spring of 1968, but cancelled.
 It also contains a cover of Bobbie Gentry's "Ode to Billie Joe," whose original recording kept the single #2 "Reflections" from peaking at the top spot on the "Billboard" Hot 100 in September 1967, and it hit #2 on "Cashbox".
The Crusade to Free Cuba Committee was founded in December 1961 by anti-Castro Cuban exile Sergio Arcacha Smith to raise funds and support for the CIA-backed Cuban Revolutionary Council, a group formerly known as the Cuban Democratic Revolutionary Front.
The Iban language ("jaku Iban") is spoken by the Iban, a branch of the Dayak ethnic group formerly known as "Sea Dayak" who live in the Malaysian state of Sarawak, the Indonesian province of West Kalimantan and in Brunei.
 It belongs to Malayic languages a Malayo-Polynesian branch of the Austronesian language family, and is related to Malay, more closely to Sarawakian Malay.
 It is thought that the homeland of the Malayic languages is in western Borneo, where the Ibanic languages remain.
 The Malayan branch represents a secondary dispersal, probably from central Sumatra but possibly also from Borneo.
 The Iban language is also a subject tested in PMR and SPM, the Malaysian public examination for Form 3 and Form 5 students respectively.
 Students comment that questions from these exams mostly cover the classic Iban language, making them a daunting task for many who are more fluent in the contemporary tongue.
 The language is mostly taught to students in rural areas with a majority Iban population, including Baleh (Kapit), Betong, Sri Aman, Saratok, Lubok Antu, Pelagus (Kapit), Pakan and Julau.
