The Franciscan Church (German: Franziskanerkirche) and Franciscan Monastery (German: Franziskanerkloster) are a church and associated monastery in the centre of the city of Graz, Austria. The monastery was founded by the Franciscan order, who still own it, and is first mentioned in 1239. In the church, a high but narrow 14th-century chancel contrasts with the comparatively low and wide nave. The chancel was gutted by a bomb in World War II, and subsequently rebuilt with a new contemporary interior. The stained glass windows bathe the church in light, whilst the chancel is dominated by a grey cast iron crucifix that seems to hover. The organ was installed by the Potsdam based Schuke company in 2004. The original Gothic cloisters of the monastery enclose a monastery garden, and are open to the public. The walls of the cloister are lined with the names, professions and life data of the distinguished burghers and noblemen who were buried in this place between the 15th and the 18th centuries. On the first floor of the monastery, with windows looking into the chancel of the church, is the oratory, where the friars meet for their holy offices. The high tower, one of the more prominent Graz landmarks, is unusual for a Franciscan establishment. It owes its existence to the church's strategic location next to the city walls, and was built as a fortified tower by the city authorities in the 17th century. | Place | Building | HistoricBuilding |

The discography of Swervedriver, an English alternative rock band, consists of four studio albums, one compilation album, one video album, seven extended plays, and eighteen singles. The band's back catalog of non-studio-album material rivals that which has been released in album format. Swervedriver was formed in 1989 by vocalist and guitarist Adam Franklin, guitarist Jimmy Hartridge, bassist Adrian \"Adi\" Vines, and drummer Graham Bonnar. Though emerging from the shoegazing scene of Oxford, the band also incorporated contemporary American guitar rock into its sound. They signed with British independent record label Creation and released the Son of Mustang Ford and Rave Down EPs in 1990. In early 1991, the band signed with American label A&M Records and put forth its third EP, Sandblasted. The band then released its debut full-length album, Raise, later that year, charting 44th in the UK. Following the departure of founding members Bonnar and Vines, Swervedriver enlisted new drummer Jeremy \"Jez\" Hindmarsh in 1993 and released its second album, Mezcal Head (with Franklin and Hartridge splitting bass duties). The album debuted at number 55 on the UK chart and provided their most popular single, \"Duel\", which reached number 60. Permanent bassist Steve George also joined the group, and after two years of touring and recording, they released their third album, Ejector Seat Reservation, in 1995. Label troubles thwarted a North American release of Ejector Seat Reservation and later forced the band to seek out independent label Zero Hour from New York City to release 1998's indie rock-styled 99th Dream, their fourth and last album to date. At the end of 1998, the band dissolved for what would become a nine-year hiatus. On 14 March 2005, Castle Music released Juggernaut Rides '89–'98, a two-disc anthology compiling numerous tracks that had previously been only on seven-inch singles or unavailable. Swervedriver announced their reunion on 19 October 2007; the band has since released its first material in fifteen years, the 2013 single \"Deep Wound\" on Tym Records, and are recording material for a new album. | Work | MusicalWork | ArtistDiscography |

Oreochromis is a large genus of tilapiine cichlids, fishes endemic to Africa and the Middle East. Several species from this genus have been introduced far outside their native range, and are important in aquaculture. Members of this genus, as well as those of the genera Tilapia and Sarotherodon, share the common name \"tilapia\". The genus contains more than 30 species, and numerous undescribed forms exist. Judging from mtDNA sequence analysis, several clades seem to exist. In addition, some species (such as Oreochromis urolepis and the blue tilapia O. aureus) seem closer to Sarotherodon according to the mtDNA data. Research is hampered because hybridization runs rampant in these fishes, which confounds mtDNA data (see discussion at Wami tilapia), and the fast speed of evolution makes choice of appropriate nuclear DNA sequences difficult. | Species | Animal | Fish |

Pinus kesiya (Khasi pine, Benguet pine or three-needled pine) is one of the most widely distributed pines in Asia. Its range extends south and east from the Khasi Hills in the northeast Indian state of Meghalaya, to northern Thailand, Philippines, Burma, Cambodia, Laos, southernmost China, and Vietnam. It is an important plantation species elsewhere in the world, including in southern Africa and South America. The common name \"Khasi pine\" is from the Khasi hills in India, and \"Benguet pine\" is from the landlocked province of Benguet in Luzon, Philippines, where it is the dominant species of the Luzon tropical pine forests. The Benguet pine is sometimes treated as a separate species, Pinus insularis; however, the current opinion is to treat these as conspecific with P. kesiya. The city of Baguio is nicknamed \"The City of Pines\", as it is noted for large stands of this tree. | Species | Plant | Conifer |

The French fleet in Toulon was scuttled on 27 November 1942 to avoid capture by Nazi German forces. The Allied invasion of North Africa had provoked the Germans into invading the ‘Free Zone’ (Vichy France), officially neutral according to the 1940 Armistice. Vichy Secretary of the Navy, Admiral Darlan, defected to join De Gaulle and the Free French, who were gaining increasing support from both servicemen and civilians. His replacement, Admiral Auphan, guessed correctly that the Germans were aiming to seize the large fleet at Toulon (Operation Lila), and issued orders for scuttling these vessels. The Germans launched a heavy assault, but the naval crews used deception tactics to delay the enemy until scuttling could be carried out. Operation Lila was judged a failure, with the French destroying 77 vessels, with the capture of 39 small ships, while several submarines escaped to French North Africa. It marked the end of Vichy France as a credible power. | Event | SocietalEvent | MilitaryConflict |

The White Songbook is the fifth studio album by Joy Electric, and the first in the band's ongoing Legacy series. The album has a \"book\" theme, with the songs logically divided into \"chapters,\" which are also songs. These chapters are \"The White Songbook,\" \"Hunter Green and Other Histories,\" \"As Children We Are Growing Younger,\" and \"A Frog in the Pond.\" The introductions to these chapters are relatively short instrumentals, with the exception of \"The White Songbook,\" which is much longer and features spoken text. The White Songbook marked the beginning of Joy Electric's practice of recording entire albums using only one synthesizer. The White Songbook was created entirely on the Roland System 100 synthesizer. The White Songbook almost completely leaves the more recognizably \"pop\" sound of Joy Electric's previous works, both revealing a much more layered and complex sound, as well as a much more progressive musical style with many songs exceeding the five-minute mark. | Work | MusicalWork | Album |

General Sir William Green, 1st Baronet, of Marass, Kent (4 April 1725 – 10 January 1811) was an officer in the British Army. After receiving a private education in Aberdeen, Scotland and a military education at the Royal Military Academy in Woolwich, England, he was appointed as a practitioner engineer in 1743. Green served on the European continent until 1752, after which he was in Canada. There, he continued to advance through both the ordinary military and engineering ranks. Following his return to England, Green was named senior engineer for Gibraltar about 1761, and the next year promoted to lieutenant colonel. He was promoted to chief engineer for Gibraltar in 1770, and designed and executed a number of military works on the Rock. In 1772, his idea of a regiment of military artificers, to replace the civilian mechanics who had formerly constructed military works, came to fruition in the form of the Soldier Artificer Company, the predecessor of the Corps of Royal Sappers and Miners. Their works included the King's Bastion, which Green designed. Promoted to colonel in 1777, he served as chief engineer throughout the Great Siege of Gibraltar (1779–1783). During the siege, he was promoted to brigadier general, then major general. He returned to England in 1783; three years later a baronetcy was created for him. He was appointed chief engineer of Great Britain in 1786. His promotions included that to lieutenant general in 1793 and full general in 1798. Following his retirement in 1802, he settled in Plumstead, Kent. | Agent | Person | MilitaryPerson |
The Trionychidae are a taxonomic family of a number of turtle genera commonly known as softshells. They are also sometimes called pancake turtles (although they are distinct from the pancake tortoise). Softshells include some of the world's largest freshwater turtles, though many can adapt to living in highly brackish areas. Members of this family occur in Africa, Asia, and North America.
