A Different Drum was an independent record label and online store based in the US state of Utah, founded in 1991, specializing in synthpop and related genres. The label has released hundreds of albums, singles, and compilations, and was the biggest synthpop label in the U.S. The label is regularly credited with helping to keep the Synthpop genre progressing during in the grunge rock mid-1990s and into the early 2000s, particularly supporting American Synthpop Groups (Cosmicity, The Echoing Green, B! Machine and others) in their early years. The label was also a big supporter of Synthpop bands that had Billboard chart hits during the 1980s but found themselves in need of a supportive label in the late 1990s, such as Alphaville (band), and Real Life (band), putting out releases for both bands during this time. A selection of songs from the label's artists have been featured on various versions of Konami's Dance Dance Revolution series, including the arcade version of Dance Dance Revolution X. The label was apparently closed in 2014, reportedly because founder Todd Durrant started a hobby business with his children and no longer had time to properly administer the label. | Agent | Company | RecordLabel |

The 1985 Tennessee Volunteers football team (variously \"Tennessee\", \"UT\" or the \"Vols\") represented the University of Tennessee in the 1985 NCAA Division I-A football season. Playing as a member of the Southeastern Conference (SEC), the team was led by head coach Johnny Majors, in his ninth year, and played their home games at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee. They finished the season with a record of nine wins, one loss and two ties (9–1–2 overall, 5–1 in the SEC), as SEC champions and with a victory over Miami in the 1986 Sugar Bowl. The Volunteers offense scored 325 points while the defense allowed 140 points. At season’s end, the Volunteers ranked fourth in both the AP Poll and the Coaches' Poll. Known to fans as the Sugar Vols for their Sugar Bowl victory, the 1985 squad is frequently recalled as one of the most memorable and beloved teams in UT football history, and has been credited with restoring the program to national prominence. The team's SEC Championship was the first for the program in 16 years, and its top ten ranking was the program's first in 13 years. After a strong start to the season, Tennessee suffered a major setback when star quarterback and Heisman Trophy candidate Tony Robinson suffered a season-ending knee injury in a close game against Alabama. The team rallied to finish 6-0-1, however, led by backup quarterback Daryl Dickey, and a defense– nicknamed the \"Orange Crush\"– that allowed just four touchdowns in its final seven games. The 1986 Sugar Bowl has been ranked among the team's ten greatest victories of all time. | SportsSeason | SportsTeamSeason | NCAATeamSeason |

Godfrey v. Georgia, 446 U.S. 420 (1980), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that a death sentence could not be granted for a murder when the only aggravating factor was that the murder was found to be \"outrageously or wantonly vile.\" The Court reversed and remanded the Georgia death penalty sentence because, under Furman v.

The 1923 Chatham Cup was the first annual nationwide football competition in New Zealand. The competition was run on a regional basis, with separate northern and southern tournaments, with the winners of the two meeting in the final. Very few teams entered the competition, including only two from the southern South Island; Seacliff easily won the only match played there, thumping Oamaru 7-0, and repeated this in the final, accounting for Wellington's YMCA 4-0. Of the teams taking part, it is known that four were from Wellington; contemporary reports indicate that Diamonds, Hospital, YMCA, and Waterside took part. There is some suggestion that the Auckland regional winners, Northcote required a play-off against North Shore United to progress. There is some confusion as to the spelling of the name of the champion Manawatu side, it being listed in various publications as either Daubers or Dawbers, and either with or without an apostrophe. There is some confusion about the earlier rounds of the competition, with various Charity Cups being held to decide entrants to the Chatham Cup, and with regional qualification finals, island finals, and the national final all simply being referred to in contemporary reports as \"finals\". Compounding this, different regional football associations were allowed to choose their champion team by whatever method they liked, meaning that some regions (such as Auckland) used league position to determine their entrant for the inter-regional matches, rather than a knockout competition. Compounding matters further are the incomplete records held by the NZFA, which omit several matches (including the semi-final between Seacliff and Oamaru Rangers). | Event | Tournament | SoccerTournament |

Luckeus is a genus of prehistoric lobe-finned fish. Luckeus belonged to the group of onychodontid fishes. It lived during the Early Devonian to Middle Devonian period (Emsian to Eifelian faunal stages) in central Australia. Luckeus is only known by a left lower jaw, which is the holotype (ANU V2969) of the genus, and also by some isolated teeth (ANU V3108-3112). Before palaeontologists establish a genus name for these remains, they referred to them as \"onychodontid\" and \"crossopterygian\" remains, or more specific as \"onychodontid teeth remains\". In 2005, palaeontologists Gavin Young and Hans-Peter Schultze described these findings and assigned them to a new genus under the name Luckeus. Young and Schultze named Luckeus after the nickname \"Lucke\" of the late palaeontologist Dr. Hans Ludolph Jessen due to his major study of Paleozoic bony fish.

Werner Wolff (11 June 1911 – 26 January 2002) was a German-born American photojournalist known primarily for his work in association with the Black Star agency from 1945 to the late 1980s. Born in Mannheim, Germany in 1911, Wolff emigrated to New York City in 1936, initially working for Alfred Eisenstaedt as a darkroom technician and then starting his own photographic agency, Camera Features. After a brief stint in the U.S. Army Signal Corps during World War II, Wolff became a correspondent for the weekly Army magazine, YANK. Wolff reported on major campaigns in Italy and was one of the first to photograph Hitler's mountain retreat in Berchtesgaden after its capture by the Allies. After the war, Wolff returned to New York City and began his career with Black Star. Wolff photographed virtually everything, from famous (and not so famous) people to newsworthy events to technically challenging subjects. His work appeared in the pages of many publications, including Time, Life, Ebony and many others. Wolff also worked for many corporations and educational institutions; his photographs appeared in external publications such as annual reports and alumni magazines. Wolff also documented the official foreign travels of US presidents: Dwight D. Eisenhower's eleven-nation tour in 1959, John F. Kennedy's trip to France in 1961, and Lyndon B. Johnson's meeting with the South Vietnamese leaders on Guam in 1967. Wolff married Alice H. Eckstein in 1941 before he joined the US Army (allowing him to become a naturalized citizen). He returned from the Army in 1946 and raised two sons, Steven and Mark. Wolff stopped accepting assignments from Black Star in the 1980s, but continued to take photographs of various subjects. He died in 2002 as a result of a long-term illness, leaving behind an enormous and rich portfolio. Werner Wolff’s photographs were donated to the Ryerson Image Centre in 2009 along with his negatives, contact sheets, tear sheets, and notebooks. The Wolff archive is currently housed alongside the Black Star print collection at Ryerson University. | Agent | Artist | Photographer |

Schistostega pennata, also called goblin gold, luminous moss or luminescent moss, is a moss known for its glowing appearance in dark places. It is the only member of the family Schistostegaceae. The moss's greenish-gold glowing appearance is due to the clear, spherical cells in the protonema that can collect even the faintest light like lenses, and the chloroplasts nearby in turn give off the greenish glow from the reflected light. It is easily outcompeted by other mosses and plant species in open lighter areas, but its ability to reflect light allows it to grow in shady places that other plants cannot survive. It prefers damp mineral soils with a source of dim light, such as reflection from a pool, overturned tree roots, and entrances to animal burrows. Schistostega pennata is found in China, Japan, Siberia, Europe, and North America. | Species | Plant | Moss |

Norman Eric Baxter (21 June 1909 – 14 November 2003) was an Australian politician who was a member of the Legislative Council of Western Australia from 1950 to 1958 and again from 1960 to 1983. He was a minister in the government of Sir Charles Court. Baxter was born in Perth to Jessica Minnie (née Milsom) and Charles Farquharson Baxter. His father was also a member of parliament and government minister. Baxter attended the Perth Boys' School and Hale School. From 1929 to 1946, he had a farm at Balingup, which until 1933 he owned in partnership with his brother. After 1946, Baxter worked as an organiser for the Country Party. He first ran for parliament at the 1947 state election, as a Country Party candidate, but was defeated in the seat of Northam by Albert Hawke (a future Labor premier). In March 1950, his father, who represented East Province in the Legislative Council, died in office. Baxter stood for the resulting by-election (which was held for Central Province due to a redistribution), and was successful. Having served out his father's term, Baxter was re-elected at the 1952 Legislative Council elections, but in 1958 was defeated by Charles Abbey of the Liberal Party. He re-entered parliament just two years later, following the retirement of Sir Charles Latham, a former Country Party leader. He would be re-elected on another three occasions, at the 1965, 1971, and 1977 state elections. After the Liberal–NCP coalition won power at the 1974 election, Baxter was made Minister for Health and Minister for Community Welfare in the new ministry. However, the coalition broke in May 1975, and he and the two other NCP ministers (Ray McPharlin and Matt Stephens) resigned from cabinet. The disputes which had led to the split were quickly resolved, and Baxter re-entered the ministry the following month, where he remained until a reshuffle following the 1977 election. Baxter retired from parliament at the 1983 state election. He died in Perth in November 2003, aged 94. He had married twice, firstly in 1934 to Dulcie Armour, with whom he had four children.

(Not to be confused with Madison Street (Manhattan).)(For other uses, see Madison Avenue (disambiguation).)\nMadison Avenue is a north-south avenue in the borough of Manhattan in New York City, United States, that carries northbound one-way traffic. It runs from Madison Square (at 23rd Street) to meet the southbound Harlem River Drive at 142nd Street. In doing so, it passes through Midtown, the Upper East Side (including Carnegie Hill), East Harlem, and Harlem. It is named after and arises from Madison Square, which is itself named after James Madison, the fourth President of the United States. Madison Avenue was not part of the original New York City street grid established in the Commissioners' Plan of 1811, and was carved between Park Avenue (formerly Fourth) and Fifth Avenue in 1836, due to the effort of lawyer and real estate developer Samuel B. Ruggles who had previously purchased and developed New York's Gramercy Park in 1831, who was in part responsible for the development of Union Square, and who also named Lexington Avenue. Since the 1920s, Madison Avenue has been used informally to refer to the American advertising industry (an example of metonymy, or calling something by the name of an associated thing). Many large advertising firms were located on Madison Avenue in New York during the 20th century. According to the syndicated columnist William Safire, \"Madison Avenue techniques\" means \"gimmicky, slick use of the communications media to play on emotions.\" | Place | RouteOfTransportation | Road |

Elk Grove Unified School District v. Newdow, 542 U.S. 1 (2004), was a case decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. The lawsuit, originally filed as Newdow v. United States Congress, Elk Grove Unified School District, et al. in 2000, led to a 2002 ruling by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit that the words \"under God\" in the Pledge of Allegiance are an endorsement of religion and therefore violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. After an initial decision striking the congressionally added \"one nation under God\" language, [Newdow v. U.S. Congress, 292 F.3d 597 (9th Cir. 2002), the superseding opinion on denial of rehearing en banc was more limited, holding that compelled recitation of the language by school teachers to students was invalid. [328 F.3d 466 (9th Cir. 2003). On June 14, 2004, the Supreme Court held Michael Newdow, as a noncustodial parent, did not have standing to bring the suit on his daughter's behalf. The mother was previously given sole legal custody of the daughter. The Ninth Circuit's decision was thus reversed as a matter of procedural law, so it did not consider the constitutional question raised by the case. On January 3, 2005, a new suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California on behalf of three unnamed families. On September 14, 2005, District Court Judge Lawrence Karlton ruled in favor of Newdow. Citing the precedent of the 2002 ruling by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, Judge Karlton issued an order enjoining the school district defendants from continuing their practices of leading children in pledging allegiance to \"one Nation under God.\" The case was later appealed to the Ninth Circuit under Newdow v. Carey and was reversed. | UnitOfWork | LegalCase | SupremeCourtOfTheUnitedStatesCase |

The Anthomyiidae are a large and diverse family of Muscoidea flies. Most look rather like small houseflies, but are commonly drab grey. The genus Anthomyia, in contrast, is generally conspicuously patterned in black-and-white or black-and-silvery-grey. Most are difficult to identify, apart from a few groups such as the kelp flies that are conspicuous on beaches. The name Anthomyiidae was derived from Greek anthos (flower) plus myia (a fly). Some species are commonly called \"root-maggots\", as the larvae are found in the stems and roots of various plants. As larvae, some also feed on decaying plant material. The well-known grey \"seaweed flies\" or \"kelp flies\" (Fucellia) are examples. Others are scavengers in such places as birds' nests; yet other species are leaf miners; the family also includes inquilines, commensals, and parasitic larvae. Some species in the family are significant agricultural pests, particularly some from the genus Delia, which includes the onion fly (D. antiqua), the wheat bulb fly (D. coarctata), the turnip root fly (D. floralis), the bean seed fly (D. platura), and the cabbage root fly (D. radicum). | Species | Animal | Insect |

4003 Schumann, provisional designation 1964 ED, is a carbonaceous asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, about 35 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by German astronomer Freimut Börngen at the Karl Schwarzschild Observatory in Tautenburg, Eastern Germany, on 8 March 1964. The dark C-type asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 3.1–3.8 AU once every 6 years and 4 months (2,318 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.09 and an inclination of 5° with respect to the plane of the ecliptic. The first precovery was obtained at Heidelberg Observatory in 1933, extending the asteroid's observation arc by 31 years prior to its discovery. According to the space-based surveys carried out by the Japanese Akari satellite and NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its NEOWISE mission, the asteroid's surface has an albedo of 0.04 and 0.07, and an estimated diameter of 35.0 and 38.2 kilometers, respectively. The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for carbonaceous bodies of 0.057, and calculates a diameter of 32.0 kilometers. Several photometric light-curve analysis rendered a rotation period between 5.60 and 5.75 hours with a brightness amplitude in the range of 0.20 to 0.23 in magnitude (U=3-/2+/2). The minor planet was named in honor of German composer of the Romantic era, Robert Schumann (1810–1856), known for his Lieder, chamber works and cello concerti. He was born in Zwickau, in proximity to the discovering observatory in Tautenburg. Naming citation was published on 20 May 1989 (M.P.C. 14634). | Place | CelestialBody | Planet |

Mi Teleférico (Spanish pronunciation: [mi tele'feɾiko], English: My Cable Car), also known as Teleférico La Paz–El Alto (La Paz–El Alto Cable Car), is an aerial cable car urban transit system opened in 2014 in the Bolivian city of La Paz. Currently three lines are in operation and seven more lines are in the planning stage. The three initial lines were built by the Austrian company Doppelmayr. The first two lines, Red and Yellow, connect La Paz with the neighboring city of El Alto. The network currently consists of 10 stations, one of which, Chuqui Apu/Libertador, is shared by both the Yellow and Green Lines. At 10 km (6.2 mi) in length, Phase One (the first three lines) was considered to be the longest aerial cable car system in the world upon its completion in 2014, and Phase Two will extend the system length by some 20 km (12 mi). Additionally, while other urban transit cable cars like Medellín's Metrocable complement existing rapid transit systems, Mi Teleférico will be the first rapid transit network to use cable cars as the primary mode of transportation. The system was planned in order to address a number of problems, including a precarious public transit system that could not cope with growing user demands, the high cost in time and money of traveling between La Paz and El Alto, chaotic traffic with its subsequent environmental and noise pollution, and a growing demand for gasoline and diesel fuel, which are subsidized by the state. | Agent | Organisation | PublicTransitSystem |
