A hogshead is a measurement unit in the imperial system.
It was derived in the 14th century by weighing King Henry IV's hog's head.
The measure was used throughout Europe but the length varied from country to country, even city to city.
The hogshead was popularized in modern pop culture by Episode 208 of The Simpsons.
There are 2.7 hogshead to a standard gallon.
In 1959, the length was standardized by Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom, and the United States in the international treaty "Standardization of Units".
Favoriten is bordered by the districts Meidling to the west and Simmering to the east.

The first detection of radio waves from an astronomical object was made in the 1930s.
Karl Jansky found radiation coming from the Milky Way.
Later, other sources of radio emission were found.
These include stars and galaxies, as well as entirely new classes of objects, such as radio galaxies, quasars, pulsars,  and masers.
Radio astronomy is done using large radio antennas.
These are called radio telescopes.
They are used alone, or with multiple linked telescopes.
The use of interferometry allows radio astronomy to achieve high angular resolution.
The resolving power of an interferometer is set by the distance between its components, not the size of its components.
The Pesse canoe is probably the world's oldest known boat.
Carbon dating shows that the boat was made during the early mesolithic period between 8040 BCE and 7510 BCE.
Right now the canoe is in the Drents Museum in Assen, Netherlands.
The boat is a dugout style canoe measuring  long and  wide.
It was made from a single log of Scots pine wood.
scratches are found on the walls of the canoe, these were probably made by flint or antler tools.
The boat was found in 1955 during the creation of the Dutch A28 motorway.
The motorway is south of the village of Pesse in Hoogeveen.
To make the base of the motorway, the peat was removed, during this construction a crane operator found what he believed to be a tree trunk  underground.
Local farmer Hendrik Wanders saw the log and took it for observation.
He gave the canoe to the University of Groningen, where it was examined and freeze dried to stop decay.
It was later taken to the Drents Museum, near the discovery site.
Many have wondered if the Pesse Canoe was actually a boat.
Some Danish Historians questioned if a boat so small could sail.
In 2011, a similar canoe was constructed by Archaeologist Jaap Beuker and successfully paddled by a canoeist.
Others thought that the canoe could be something else, believing it was used as an animal feeder.
Beuker argued that animals were not kept by the people from the era the boat was made, so it could not have been an animal feeder.
The boat is also like other prehistoric canoes.

The 2020 United States presidential election happened on November 3, 2020.
Joe Biden, the Democratic candidate and former vice president of the United States, won the election.
He defeated his Republican opponent Donald Trump, who was the 45th president of the United States at the time.
Voters selected presidential electors who then voted on December 14, 2020 to either elect a new president and vice president or re-elect the incumbents.
On November 7, Biden won the election and became the president-elect of the United States.
Donald Trump, the 45th president, started a campaign to be president for four more years in the Republican primaries.
Several state Republican Party organizations cancelled their primaries in a show of support for his candidacy.
He became the presumptive nominee in March 2020.
Twenty-seven major candidates started campaigns for the Democratic nomination.
This was the largest number of candidates for any political party in modern-day American politics.
In April 2020, former Vice President Joe Biden became the presumptive nominee after beating Senator Bernie Sanders.
In August 2020, Biden picked U.S. Senator and former 2020 candidate Kamala Harris as his running mate.
Some issues of the election included the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which killed over 220,000 Americans at the time of the election, protests in reaction to the murder of George Floyd and other black Americans, the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett, and the Affordable Care Act, with Biden wanting to protect and expand it and Trump pushing for ending it.
After the election, Donald Trump filed over 40 lawsuits against states and politicians.
The lawsuits said that the election was not fair.
Almost all of the lawsuits failed in court because Trump could not prove what he said.
In some states, the votes were counted again, which still showed that Biden won.
After the electors voted for Biden on December 14, Trump tried other ways to overturn the election results.
When the electoral votes were counted in Congress on January 6-7, some Republicans voted not to count votes from certain states.
Biden was inaugurated on January 20, 2021, at midday when he took the oath of office.
The 2020 U.S. presidential election was the first time all members of the millennial generation were able to vote.
The age group of people in the 18 to the 45-year-old area was 40 percent of those able to vote in 2020.
The United States House of Representatives voted to impeach President Donald Trump on December 18, 2019, making him the third president in American history to be impeached.
He was acquitted by the United States Senate on February 5, 2020.
Mail voting
More people voted by mail in the United States, with 25% of voters nationwide mailing their ballots in 2016 and 2018.
The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 means there has been an increase in mail voting because of the possible danger of large groups at polling places.
For the 2020 election, a state-by-state analysis found that 76% of Americans are eligible to vote by mail in 2020, a record number.
The analysis predicted that 80 million ballots could be cast by mail in 2020—more than double the number in 2016.
The Postal Service sent a letter to multiple states in July 2020, warning that the service would not be able to meet the state's deadlines for requesting and casting last-minute absentee ballots.
President Trump was critical of voting by mail saying that it would make it easier for voter fraud to happen.
Many people dropped their votes in voting boxes in their voting places instead of going to the polls.
Convention site
On July 20, 2018, the Republican National Convention chose Charlotte, North Carolina as the site for their 2020 national convention.
The convention was held between August 24 to 27.
In June 2020, the convention location was moved to Jacksonville, Florida over COVID-19 health measures.

The convention was going to be held there between May 22–25, 2020.
However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was held through an online convention from May 22 to May 24.
The 2020 Green National Convention was held in Detroit, Michigan from July 9-12.
Greenville, South Carolina and Spartanburg, South Carolina were also considered to host the convention.
Minor third party candidates
Independent candidates
Candidates in bold are on ballots representing ≥270 electoral votes, without needing write-in states.
All other candidates do not have ballot access adding up to more than 270 electoral votes, but have write-in access to at least 270.
Three presidential debates and one vice presidential debate were scheduled.
The second presidential debate was cancelled, because Trump was ill with COVID-19.
The presidential candidates still debated in the third debate.
After the election
After the election, Trump, and many of his supporters, said that he only lost because of fraud or conspiracies.
In early December, only a quarter of Republicans believed that Biden was the real winner of the election.
Trump did not accept Biden's win until January 7.
Trump and his lawyers filed over 40 lawsuits after the election, in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
Biden won each of these states by a small number of votes.
Some lawsuits said that states should not allow more time to collect ballots in the mail, and some said that voters should not be allowed to put ballots in drop boxes.
Other lawsuits said that election workers did not make sure all signatures were correct.
Judges rejected most of the lawsuits because they did not have evidence.
The Trump campaign only won one lawsuit.
Many of the lawsuits asked states to remove thousands of votes, and others asked for the states to ignore the results of the election.
In December, the Attorney General of Texas filed a lawsuit (Texas v. Pennsylvania) against Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, and Wisconsin, in front of the Supreme Court.
It asked the court to stop these states from certifying their votes.
Over 100 Republicans in the House of Representatives supported it.
However, the Supreme Court rejected it and said Texas did not have standing.
Trump campaign tries to overturn the election
After lawsuits failed, Trump said many times that the election was "rigged".
From November to January, Trump and his lawyers made phone calls to many election officials, and told them that they should not certify the votes for Biden.
In the calls, they said many things which were false.
On January 2, Trump called the Georgia Secretary of State and told him that Georgia (where Biden was the winner) should find more votes for Trump, so Trump could win.
Electoral college count
On January 6-7, members of Congress counted the votes of the Electoral College.
Some Republican members of Congress signed objections to the votes (they thought the votes should not be counted) from Arizona and Pennsylvania.
By the end, seven Republican senators and 138 Republican representatives voted not to count these votes.
Half of senators and half of the representatives must vote to throw out electoral votes.
Congress has never thrown out electoral votes.
While Congress was counting the votes on January 6, Far-right terrorists broke into the US Capitol building in protest.
Members of Congress hid for hours until police forced the protestors to leave.

The Icelandic króna (ISK; plural krónur; króna means crown) is the currency used in Iceland.
The name "Icelandic crown" is sometimes used instead.
The Danish krone was introduced to Iceland in 1874.
It replaced the earlier Danish currency, the rigsdaler.
Iceland began making its own currency in 1885.
The Danish krone left Iceland after the collapse of the Scandinavian Monetary Union.
Iceland gained it's independence over Denmark  in 1918, and the first coins were issued in 1922.
Iceland experienced hyperinflation in 1981.
So the currency was revalued.
This meant that the 100 old krónur (ISJ) became as valuable as 1 new króna (ISK).
The new 500 krónur banknote was also put into circulation the same year.
The largest banknote ever issued was a 10,000 krónur.
This bill was made after the 2008–11 Icelandic financial crisis.
In 2009, the Althing voted to join the European Union.
After the left-wing parties were voted out of office, the negotiation were stopped.
Nowadays, most people predict that the króna will remain the Icelandic currency for a long time.
Financial crisis
A major financial crisis hit Iceland from 2008 to 2011.
It brought about a collapse of the Icelandic banking sector.
The value of the Icelandic króna dropped, and it went down to around 185 ISK per 1 euro.
After many of the issues were resolved, the krónur value went up to around 140 ISK per 1 euro.
However, the value has not been as high as it was since before the crisis (it was at 82 ISK per 1 euro in mid-2007).

This was later achieved in 1944.
From 1929 to 2009, the Independence Party was the dominant party in the Althing.
The party is economically liberal, and is against getting involved with other countries problems.
The party is mainly supported by fishermen and high-earners, particularly in Reykjavík.
