The sousaphone () is a brass instrument in the same family as the more widely known tuba.
Created around 1893 by J.W. Pepper at the direction of American bandleader John Philip Sousa (after whom the instrument was then named), it was designed to be easier to play than the concert tuba while standing or marching.
It should also carry the sound of the instrument above the heads of the band.
Like the tuba, sound is produced by moving air past the lips, causing them to vibrate or "buzz" into a large cupped mouthpiece.
Unlike the tuba, the instrument is bent in a circle to fit around the body of the musician; it ends in a large, flaring bell that is pointed forward, projecting the sound ahead of the player.
Because of the ease of carrying and the direction of sound, it is widely employed in marching bands, as well as various other musical genres.
Sousaphones were originally made out of brass but in the mid-20th century started to be made from lighter materials like fiberglass; today both types are in wide use.
The British .303 (three-o-three) cartridge was the bullet used for British rifles and light machine guns until Britain became part of NATO.

Negroland, or Nigritia was a term Europeans used to describe a region in Africa, south of the Sahara.

The name was probably a direct translation of the Arabic term "Bilad al-Sudan", which translates to "land of the Blacks".
In 1823, approximately the same area was described as "Nigritia" on an American map published by  Fielding Lucus Jr. The inhabitants of Nigritia were called Negroes.

Nodes of Ranvier are gaps in the myelin sheath of a nerve cell's  axon.
They have multiple ion channels, allowing ions to move in or out of the axon at those points.
This means the gaps are not insulated from the spaces which surround them (the intracellular space).
When impulses move along an axon, they will seem to "jump" from one node to the next along the axon.
This is known as saltatory conduction (Latin saltare "to hop or leap").

The Yang di-Pertuan Agong is one of the few elected monarchs in the world.
The Yang di-Pertuan Agong is a ruling Sultan of a Malaysian state, and is elected for a term of five years.

The Cabinet is headed by the prime minister, appointed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong from among the elected members of Parliament.
Among them, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong has discretionary powers to choose who he wants as the Prime Minister and is not bound by the decision of the outgoing prime minister if no party has won a majority vote (Article 40).
It, however, does not afford him the right and authority to dismiss the prime minister.

He may discontinue or dissolve Parliament (Article 55) but he can only dissolve Parliament at the request of the Prime Minister (Article 43).
He can reject any new laws or amendments to existing laws but if he still withholds permission, it will automatically become law after 30 days from the initial submission to him (Article 66).
The queen consort for the Yang di-Pertuan Agong is known as the Raja Permaisuri Agong and the couple are styled in English as "His Majesty" and "Her Majesty".
The 16th and current Yang di-Pertuan Agong is Al-Sultan Abdullah of Pahang, replacing Sultan Muhammad V of Kelantan, who abdicated on 6 January 2019.

Brian Collins Westbrook (born September 2, 1979) is a former American football running back who played for nine seasons in the National Football League (NFL).
He was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the third round of the 2002 NFL Draft after playing college football for Villanova University.
Following an eight-year career with the Eagles, in which he earned two Pro Bowl selections in 2004 and 2007, Westbrook signed with the San Francisco 49ers, for whom he played in 2010.
Koy Dennis Detmer (born July 5, 1973) is a former American football quarterback.
He was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the seventh round of the 1997 NFL Draft.
He is the younger brother of former NFL quarterback Ty Detmer.
Drafted in the 7th round of the 1997 NFL draft, Detmer spent the next 10 years in Philadelphia.
He spent most of his career as a backup to quarterback Donovan McNabb and as the place-kick holder for David Akers.
His action as a starter was limited to five games in the 1998 season and one game in the 2002 season, in which McNabb was out with a broken ankle.
Detmer played well in that game, going 18 of 26 for 227 yards and three total touchdowns (two passing and one rushing).
He dislocated his elbow in the fourth quarter of that game and was replaced by third-string quarterback A. J. Feeley.
Detmer healed enough to play in the final games of 2002, but head coach Andy Reid decided to stay with Feeley, who was having success.
He also saw sporadic playing time in the 2004 and 2005 seasons.
Prior to the 2006 season, Detmer was released after the Eagles brought back A. J. Feeley and signed former Pro Bowl quarterback Jeff Garcia as the backups.
He was re-signed on January 2, 2007 by the Eagles to provide a third quarterback for the team's playoff push, with Donovan McNabb out with injury.
He was also re-signed to be the kick holder for the Eagles.
In 103 NFL games, Detmer has a career passer rating of 61.2 with ten career touchdowns and 14 interceptions thrown.
Despite poor passing numbers, Detmer managed to have an 11-year career due to his ability to hold for place-kicks; then-Eagles special teams coach John Harbaugh and Pro Bowl kicker David Akers both spoke highly of Detmer's talent and skill in this area.
Jeffrey Jason Garcia (born February 24, 1970) is a former American football and Canadian football quarterback.
After attending high school and junior college in Gilroy, California, Garcia played college football at San Jose State University.
A four-time CFL All-Star and four-time NFL Pro Bowl selection, Garcia began his professional football career with the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League (CFL) as an undrafted free agent in 1994.
In 1999, Garcia debuted in the National Football League (NFL) with the San Francisco 49ers.
With the 49ers, Garcia made three Pro Bowl appearances (for the 2000, 2001, and 2002 seasons) and led the team to the playoffs in the 2001 and 2002 seasons.
Afterwards, Garcia encountered a low point in his career, starting with a lackluster 2003 season with San Francisco then two losing seasons with the Cleveland Browns in 2004 and the Detroit Lions in 2005.
With the Philadelphia Eagles, Garcia returned to form late in the 2006 season, starting for an injured Donovan McNabb and leading Philadelphia to the playoffs.
Garcia joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2007 and was the starting quarterback for most games of the 2007 and 2008 seasons.
Again, Garcia led Tampa Bay to the playoffs in 2007 and made his fourth career Pro Bowl appearance.
David Duke Carr (born July 21, 1979) is a former American football quarterback who played in the National Football League (NFL).

Carr also played professionally for the Carolina Panthers, New York Giants, and San Francisco 49ers.
He received a Super Bowl ring as a backup for the Giants after their victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI.
Carr's status as a number one draft pick and subsequent career has led to him being considered a draft bust.

The FACTA agreement is an agreement between Canada and the United States that allows the United States to exercise financial control over American citizens and other US persons who are resident in Canada.
According to this agreement the Canadian tax authorities provide very detailed financial information regarding such people to the American tax authorities.
FATCA was intended to catch tax-cheats, but ended up affecting all Americans living outside  of the United States.
There are about one million Americans living in Canada.
FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) was enacted in 2010, under the Obama administration.
The agreement with Canada was concluded in February 2014 when Stephen Harper was Prime Minister of Canada.
Americans include, for the purpose of this agreement, "accidental Americans", their non-American families and business partners, and former non-American residents of the United States.
Many other countries have signed similar FATCA agreements with the United States.
These agreements affect all US persons residing in those countries.
FATCA requires US persons to report to the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) the balances of all bank  accounts they hold outside of the United States every year.
This is done through special forms which all US persons must file in addition to the other tax forms which such people must file every year even if they do not reside in the United States.
