The waterfowl genus Anser includes all grey geese (and sometimes the white geese). Its name is derived from anser the Latin for \"goose\". It belongs to the true geese and swan subfamily (Anserinae). The genus has a Holarctic distribution, with at least one species breeding in any open, wet habitats in the subarctic and cool temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere in summer. Some also breed further south, reaching into warm temperate regions. They mostly migrate south in winter, typically to regions in the temperate zone between the January 0 °C (32 °F) to 5 °C (41 °F) isotherms. The genus contains ten living species, which span nearly the whole range of true goose shapes and sizes. The largest is the greylag goose at 2.5–4.1 kg (5.5–9.0 lb). All have legs and feet that are pink, or orange, and bills that are pink, orange, or black. All have white under- and upper-tail coverts, and several have some extent of white on their heads. The neck, body and wings are grey or white, with black or blackish primary—and also often secondary—remiges (pinions). The closely related \"black\" geese in the genus Branta differ in having black legs, and generally darker body plumage. | Species | Animal | Bird |

Lakan Dula was the regnal name of the last Lakan (king or paramount ruler) of the pre-colonial Kingdom of Tondo when the Spaniards first conquered the lands of the Pasig River delta in what is now Manila, the capital of the Philippines in the 1570s. The firsthand account of Spanish Royal Notary Hernando Riquel says that he introduced himself to the Spanish as \"Bunao Lakandula\", indicating that his given name was \"Bunao\". However, the word Lakan which in current Tagalog form means gentleman, was a title equivalent to prince meaning he was Prince Dula. He later converted to Christianity and was baptised Carlos Lakandula. Another common variation of the name is Gat Dula (alternatively spelled as a single word,Gatdula). He is sometimes erroneously referred to as Rajah Lakandula, but the terms \"Rajah\" and \"Lakan\" have the same meaning, and in this domain the native Lakan title was used, making the use of both \"Rajah\" and \"Lakandula\" at the same time redundant and erroneous. Along with Rajah Matanda and Rajah Sulayman, he was one of three Rajahs who played significant roles in the Spanish conquest of the kingdoms of the Pasig River delta during the earliest days of the Philippines' Spanish Colonial Period. While it is unclear whether the entire name \"Lakandula\" represented a single titular name during his own lifetime, a few of his descendants in the first few generations after his death came to refer to themselves as the \"Lakandula of Tondo\", taking that name on as a noble title. | Agent | Person | Monarch |

4149 Harrison, provisional designation 1984 EZ, is a stony Eunomian asteroid from the middle region of the asteroid belt, approximately 10 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 9 March 1984, by American astronomer Brian A. Skiff at Lowell's Anderson Mesa Station in Flagstaff, Arizona. The asteroid is a member of the Eunomia family, a large group of S-type asteroids and the most prominent family in the intermediate main-belt. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.3–3.0 AU once every 4 years and 4 months (1,590 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.12 and an inclination of 13° with respect to the ecliptic. The first precovery was taken at Palomar Observatory in 1977, extending the asteroid's observation arc by 7 years prior to its discovery. A rotational light-curve for this asteroid was obtained from photometric observations by Czech astronomer Petr Pravec at Ondřejov Observatory in May 2015. It gave a well-defined rotation period of 3.7490±0.0002 hours with a brightness variation of 0.42 in magnitude (U=3). During the following month, photometric observations at three Italian observatories gave a second light-curve with a period of 3.956±0.001 hours and an amplitude of 0.37 in magnitude (U=2+). According to the survey carried out by the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, the asteroid measures 10.7 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.19, while the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes an albedo of 0.21 – derived from 15 Eunomia, the family's largest member and namesake – and calculates a diameter of 8.1 kilometers, based on an absolute magnitude of 12.76. The minor planet was named in honor of guitarist, singer and songwriter, George Harrison (1943–2001), who was the lead guitarist of the English rock band The Beatles, after which the main-belt asteroid 8749 Beatles is named. The minor planets 4147 Lennon, 4148 McCartney and 4150 Starr honor the other three members of the band. Naming citation was published on 10 April 1990 (M.P.C. 16248). | Place | CelestialBody | Planet |

The Roman Catholic Diocese of La Rochelle and Saintes (Dioecesis Rupellensis-Santonensis) is a diocese of the Latin Rite of the Roman Catholic church, in France. The diocese comprises the département of Charente-Maritime. Suffragan to the archdiocese of Bordeaux, the episcopal see is La Rochelle Cathedral. Saintes Cathedral is Co-Cathedral of the diocese. The diocese of La Rochelle was erected on 4 May 1648. The diocese of Maillezais was transferred on 7 May 1648, to La Rochelle. This diocese before the French Revolution, aside from Maillezais, included the present arrondissements of Marennes, Rochefort, La Rochelle, and a part of Saint-Jean-d'Angély. During the French Revolution, the diocese of Saintes and the diocese of La Rochelle were combined into the Diocese of Charente-Inferieure, under the direction of a Constitutional Bishop, salaried by and responsible to the French Republic. There was a schism with Rome and the Pope. On 15 July 1801, Pope Pius VII signed a new Concordat with First Consul Napoleon Bonaparte, who had overthrown the Directorate in the Coup of 18 Brumaire (9 November 1799); the terms included the suppression of the dioceses of Saintes and Luçon, which was carried out on 29 November 1801. The entire territory of the former diocese of Saintes, except for the part in Charente belonging to the diocese of Angoulême, and the entire diocese of Luçon, were added to the diocese of La Rochelle. In 1821 a see was again established at Luçon, and had under its jurisdiction, aside from the former Diocese of Luçon, almost the entire former Diocese of Maillezais; so that Maillezais, once transferred to La Rochelle, no longer belongs to the diocese, now known as La Rochelle et Saintes. | Place | ClericalAdministrativeRegion | Diocese |

BD+20594b (Also known as K2-56b) is an exoplanet discovered by the Kepler spacecraft in collaboration with the HARPS spectrometer at La Silla in Chile. BD+20594b is substantially smaller than Neptune with a radius of 2.2 R⊕ and a mass of 16.31 M⊕. Taking the estimates on its radius and mass at face value, the composition of the planet would be rocky, hence making it classified as a Mega-Earth. BD+20594b's exact composition is still unknown. The planet was first discovered on January 28, 2016 by astrophysicist Néstor Espinoza and his team from the Catholic University of Chile, using data from the two-wheeled Kepler mission (K2). It orbits a K-type star 496.08 light years away in the constellation Taurus. It is believed that most planets with a radius greater than 1.6 times the Earth are not usually rocky, making BD+20594b an exception to this rule along with Kepler-10c and K2-3d. | Place | CelestialBody | Planet |

Leap Transit was a private transit provider in San Francisco, California, which offered bus service for several months in 2015 before being shut down due to noncompliance with regulations. The company began operations in May 2013, running shuttle buses between San Francisco's marina and financial districts. The service was run with a single chartered 36-passenger bus, owned and operated by the charter company. Leap operated briefly in 2013; the company later characterized it as a \"beta test\" before obtaining more financing. The company launched full operations on March 18, 2015, operating four full sized buses, refurbished with new interiors. About $2.5 million in capital for its operations was provided by venture capital companies Andreessen Horowitz, Index Ventures, and Slow Ventures, as well as an investment by Marc Benioff. Buses traveled only during morning and afternoon commute periods on ten to fifteen-minute headways. On May 20, Leap ceased its operations after the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) issued a cease and desist notice to the company, saying that it had been operating without permission from the authority, and had not provided proof of insurance, workers compensation and compliance with driver testing. The company had been granted an \"authority to operate,\" but not a license from the state; Leap said that it believed it was operating legally, as its service did not leave San Francisco and therefore full under the purview of city regulations. The city, however, said that it had given the CPUC regulatory authority. On July 15, Leap filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy, and two of its buses were listed for public auction in October. | Agent | Company | BusCompany |

A music video was filmed for the single which features the band playing on what appears to be a volcano, intercut with footage of severe human conditioning, including branding people with barcodes. This video can be found on the VHS Third World Chaos, which was later released on DVD as part of Chaos DVD. The title of the song is a wordplay of Aldous Huxley's 1932 dystopian novel Brave New World. The song also appears in live form on the band's releases Under a Pale Grey Sky and Live in São Paulo. It also appeared as a live B-side to the \"Ratamahatta\" single. This same recording was later included on the Blood-Rooted compilation. | Work | MusicalWork | Single |

The 1997–98 season was the 100th season of competitive football played by Arsenal. Managed by Arsène Wenger in his first full season, the club ended the campaign winning the league championship for the first time in seven years. At Wembley Stadium, Arsenal beat Newcastle United 2–0 in the 1998 FA Cup Final to win the competition and complete a domestic double – the second in the club's history and the first since 1970–71. Arsenal exited the League Cup in the semi-finals to Chelsea and lost on aggregate score to PAOK in the UEFA Cup first round. In the transfer window, Arsenal purchased several players, including midfielders Marc Overmars and Emmanuel Petit and goalkeeper Alex Manninger; English midfielder Paul Merson departed to join Middlesbrough. Arsenal began the league season relatively well, but a run of three defeats in four matches between November and December 1997 left the team in sixth position before Christmas, and seemingly out of championship contention. Although they were 12 points behind reigning champions Manchester United at the end of February, a winning streak of nine matches ensured Arsenal won the championship with a 4–0 win over Everton on 3 May 1998. In recognition of the team's achievement, Wenger was awarded the Carling Manager of the Year award and striker Dennis Bergkamp was given the accolade of PFA Players' Player of the Year by his fellow peers and FWA Footballer of the Year by football writers. | SportsSeason | SportsTeamSeason | SoccerClubSeason |
Wheeling Island Hotel-Casino-Racetrack (formerly Wheeling Downs) is located on Wheeling Island in the middle of the Ohio River, which is a part of the city of Wheeling, West Virginia. It is located just off the Wheeling Island exit of I-70, 40 minutes west of Washington, Pennsylvania and about two hours east of Columbus, Ohio. It is owned by Delaware North. It features slot machines, which are marketed under the term \"video lottery\" in West Virginia; live greyhound racing, and off-track betting for both greyhound and horse racing. In addition, a full complement of table games including poker, blackjack, craps, and roulette were recently added. Poker was added on October 19, 2007, and the other games on December 20, 2007 as a result of Ohio County voters approving a referendum in a June 9, 2007 special election. Wheeling Island features several restaurants and food operations as well, in addition to live concerts and boxing. The facility has a \"tropical\" theme, similar to that used by the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, but is unrelated. Its logo features a palm tree and tropical colors, although Wheeling Island is a residential part of the city and located far from the tropics. Smoking is permitted at the casino tables and slots. As the casino is located on Wheeling Island, a low-lying area surrounded by the Ohio River, it is prone to flooding. The casino floor is elevated some ten-and-one-half feet above ground level, thus surmounting the hundred-year flood level. Wheeling Downs introduced greyhound racing in 1976, under the ownership of the Ogden Corporation, who bought the track in 1969. In 1988, Ogden sold Wheeling Downs to Delaware North. From 1994 to 2001, Delaware North co-owned Wheeling Downs with Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel. The casino became the permanent location of the Wheeling Jamboree in the fall of 2012. | Place | RaceTrack | Racecourse |

The roots of Zehut lie in the Jewish Leadership movement within the Likud party, established in 1995 by Moshe Feiglin in order to seize the country’s leadership through the ruling Likud party. In the 2013 elections Feiglin was elected for the Likud list for the Knesset and served as deputy speaker of the 19th Knesset. Prior to the 2012 elections, Feiglin announced his intention of competing for leadership of the Likud, but left the race after Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu took active steps to block Feiglin's advancement. This led Feiglin to the conclusion that it would be impossible to affect any political changes while acting within the Likud party. In 2015, he left the Likud to form Zehut. The party was officially registered later that year. | Agent | Organisation | PoliticalParty |

Cteniza sauvagesi is a trapdoor spider in the family Ctenizidae. It can reach 20 millimetres (0.79 in) in body length, and is dark and sturdy, with a shining head. The species occurs in the Mediterranean region, mainly on the large islands of Corsica and Sardinia. Their burrows are lined with gossamer, more so than with Nemesiidae spiders. The cork-like lid can have a diameter of up to one cm. When the spider notices prey (probably by detecting vibration), it lunges out, grabs it and retreats immediately. The spider always stays inside its burrow with its hindlegs, in order not to lock itself out. The male wanders about, searching for a mate. If he finds one, he will quaver on her lid with his legs. The female will then appear. | Species | Animal | Arachnid |

Toros I (Armenian: Թորոս Ա), also Thoros I, (unknown – 1129 / February 17, 1129 – February 16, 1130) was the third lord of Armenian Cilicia or “Lord of the Mountains” (c. 1100 / 1102 / 1103 – 1129 / 1130). His alliance with the leaders of the First Crusade helped him rule his feudal holdings with commanding authority. Toros ejected the Byzantine garrisons from the fortifications at Anazarbus and Sis (ancient city), making the latter his capital. He was plagued by the nomadic Turks who were harassing him from the north but were driven back. He avenged the death of King Gagik II by killing his assassins. This act of revenge was often used by chroniclers of the 12th century as direct evidence connecting the Roupenians to the Bagratid lineage. During his time he bestowed favors and gave gifts and money to many monasteries for their decoration and adornment, in particular those of Drazark (Trassarg) and Mashgevar. | Agent | Person | Monarch |

Vetëvendosje (Albanian for self-determination) is a radical nationalist political movement in Kosovo, which opposes foreign involvement in internal affairs of the country and campaigns for the sovereignty exercised by the people instead, as part of the right of self-determination. The movement widely bases its philosophy on the works of Ukshin Hoti. The big contrast with the mainstream political spectrum within Kosovo concerns two issues that characterize Kosovo after the war: the long process of negotiations with Serbia concerning the internal organization and socio-political aspects of Kosovo, without imposing any prior conditions to the Serbian side, which they consider \"unfair and harmful\", and the process of privatization of public companies which they describe as \"a corruption model, contributing to increasing unemployment, ruining the economy, and halting economic development of the country\". It presents the most firm and continuously critical opposition to the government while focusing their programs along three main axes: developmental state, meritocracy, and welfare state. The movement runs the municipal government of the Kosovo capital Prishtina. | Agent | Organisation | PoliticalParty |
Ark 2 is the first and only album released by the British rock band Flaming Youth. It was a concept album released in October 1969, the album featured the theme of an evacuation from a dying Earth. The lead single from the album was \"From Now On\". The album and its space theme were influenced by the media's attention to the moon landing. The songs were composed by Ken Howard and Alan Blaikley, writers of such commercial hits as Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich's \"Zabadak!\" and \"The Legend of Xanadu.\" The original Fontana pressing gave no composer label credit to Howard and Blaikley (possibly to distance the album's music from their pop music credentials), but the US pressing bore their names. Shortly after the release of Ark 2, the band went into the Dutch TV Station TROS studio and recorded a short 5-song set to promote the album, which was filmed and later broadcast on May 14, 1970 on the TROS TV station. The five songs that were performed are: Earthglow, Weightless, Changes, Space Child, and From Now On (Immortal Invisible). It is the only known footage of Flaming Youth that exists. Both the music and vocals were mimed. Although the album today remains difficult to obtain, it has been reprinted in various markets mainly for the novelty of Phil Collins' first major label recording. Collins was the group's drummer, and Ark 2 was Collins' last recording before auditioning for Genesis the following year. | Work | MusicalWork | Album |
