Walter Sans Avoir (in French Fr. Gautier Sans-Avoir; died 1096), also mistakenly known as the Penniless, was the lord of Boissy-sans-Avoir in the Île-de-France. As lieutenant to Peter the Hermit he co-led the People's Crusade at the beginning of the First Crusade. Leaving well before the main army of knights and their followers, Walter led his band through the Holy Roman Empire, the Kingdom of Hungary and the Serbian (Syrmian) and Bulgarian province of the Eastern Roman Empire, traveling separately from Peter. While they passed through Germany and Hungary uneventfully, Walter's followers plundered the Belgrade area, drawing reprisals upon themselves. From here they continued to Constantinople under Byzantine escort. Walter and Peter joined forces at Constantinople where Alexius I Comnenus provided transport across the Bosporus. Despite Peter's entreaties to restrain themselves, the Crusaders engaged the Turks at once and were cut to pieces. Peter had returned to Constantinople, either for reinforcements or to protect himself. But Walter was killed, allegedly pierced by seven arrows on 21 October 1096 when the Seljuk leader Kilij Arslan attacked him and his followers. | Agent | Person | Noble |
The 2016 Gamba Osaka season is Gamba Osaka's 23rd season in the J1 League and 29th overall in the Japanese top flight. Like the previous season, the 2016 campaign was split into two stages, with the first stage running from February to June, the second stage being held between July and November and finally a Championship stage in late November. With city-rivals Cerezo Osaka failing to gain promotion from J2, Gamba's main rivalry match will be the Hanshin derby against Vissel Kobe with an away game held in round 4 on the 19th March and the return home match in round 26 on August 20. Gamba's position as runner-up in the 2015 J1 League Championship saw them automatically qualify for the 2016 AFC Champions League, their 8th appearance in the competition. Looking to improve on their run to the semi-finals in 2015, they were drawn into the tough looking Group G along with Australian side Melbourne Victory, South Korea's Suwon Samsung Bluewings and big-spending Chinese outfit Shanghai SIPG. The group stage kicked off on Wednesday 24 February and concluded on Tuesday 3rd May with all sides in the group playing each other home and away in a round-robin basis. Gamba were eliminated at the group stage with only 2 points from 6 games to show for their efforts. As winners of the 2015 Emperor's Cup, Gamba competed in the season opening Japanese Super Cup, held in Yokohama on 20 February. The annually held match pitted Gamba against Sanfrecce Hiroshima, the side who defeated them in the final of the 2015 J1 League Championship. This was Gamba's 6th appearance in the Super Cup, however they were unable to build on their previous victories in 2007 and 2015 and went down 3-1. Trailing 2-0 due to early second half goals from Satō and Asano, top scorer of the previous 3 campaigns Takashi Usami pulled one back, however Utaka added a third for Hiroshima shortly afterwards to seal the win. Later on in the season, Gamba will enter the 2016 J. League Cup and 2016 Emperor's Cup. Due to their AFC Champions League commitments, they are given a bye past the J. League Yamazaki Nabisco Cup group stage and will enter at the quarter-final phase. Similarly they will enter the Emperor's Cup in the 4th round.

The Nez Perce War was an armed conflict between several bands of the Nez Perce tribe of Native Americans and their allies, a small band of the Palouse tribe led by Red Echo (Hahtalekin) and Bald Head (Husishusis Kute), against the United States Army. The conflict, fought between June–October 1877, stemmed from the refusal of several bands of the Nez Perce, dubbed \"non-treaty Indians\", to give up their ancestral lands in the Pacific Northwest and move to an Indian reservation in Idaho. This forced removal was in violation of the 1855 Treaty of Walla Walla, which granted the tribe 7.5 million acres in their ancestral lands and the right to hunt and fish in lands ceded to the government. After the first armed engagements in June, the Nez Perce embarked on an arduous trek north initially to seek help with the Crow tribe. After the Crows' refusal of aid, they sought sanctuary with the Lakota led by Sitting Bull, who had fled to Canada in May 1877 to avoid capture following the 1876 Battle of the Little Bighorn. The Nez Perce were pursued by elements of the U.S. Army with whom they fought a series of battles and skirmishes on a fighting retreat of 1,170 miles (1,880 km). The war ended after a final five-day battle fought alongside Snake Creek at the base of Montana's Bears Paw Mountains only from the Canada–US border. A majority of the surviving Nez Perce represented by Chief Joseph of the Wallowa band of Nez Perce, surrendered to Brigadier Generals Oliver Otis Howard and Nelson A. Miles. White Bird, of the Lamátta band of Nez Perce, managed to elude the Army after the battle and escape with an undetermined number of his band to Sitting Bull's camp in Canada. The 418 Nez Perce who surrendered, including women and children, were taken prisoner and sent by train to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Although Chief Joseph is the most well known of the Nez Perce leaders, he was not the sole overall leader. The Nez Perce were led by a coalition of several leaders from the different bands who comprised the \"non-treaty\" Nez Perce, including the Wallowa Ollokot, White Bird of the Lamátta band, Toohoolhoolzote of the Pikunin band, and Looking Glass of the Alpowai band. Brigadier General Howard was head of the U.S. Army's Department of the Columbia, which was tasked with forcing the Nez Perce onto the reservation and whose jurisdiction was extended by General William Tecumseh Sherman to allow Howard's pursuit. It was at the final surrender of the Nez Perce when Chief Joseph gave his famous \"I Will Fight No More Forever\" speech, which was translated by the interpreter Arthur Chapman. The New York Times wrote in an 1877 editorial on the Nez Perce War that: \"On our part, the war was in its origin and motive nothing short of a gigantic blunder and a crime\" | Event | SocietalEvent | MilitaryConflict |

Remake Italy (Rifare l'Italia), whose members are known as Young Turks (Giovani Turchi), is a social-democratic and, to some extent, democratic-socialist faction within the Democratic Party (PD), a political party in Italy. Its main members include or have included Matteo Orfini, Stefano Fassina, Andrea Orlando, Maurizio Martina, Roberto Gualtieri, Francesco Verducci and Fausto Raciti. The faction's leader, Orfini, has served as the PD's president since June 2014. The group was originally formed in 2010, but became an effective faction only with the formation of the association named \"Remake Italy\" in 2011. Mostly former Democrats of the Left, young Dalemiani and anti-New Labour social-democrats, they opposed Mario Monti's government and the rise within the party of Matteo Renzi, a reformer and darling of the party's liberals. The Young Turks were thus long-time supporters of Pier Luigi Bersani's leadership; Orfini and Fassina were members of his political secretariat, while Orlando was the party's spokesperson. However, after the 2013 general election, in which 4.5% of party elects were affiliated to the faction, and its aftermath, they were disappointed by Bersani and, motivated by a generational drive, started to approach Renzi. In February 2014 Renzi appointed appointed Orlando and Martina ministers in his government, respectively at Justice and Agricolture, while in June Orfini was elected party president on Renzi's proposal. The faction continued to exist under the leadership of Orfini, while Orlando, Martina and Fassina were less involved or distanced from it: Orlando focused on his high-profile government job, Martina was a founding member of Left is Change, and Fassina left the party altogether. | Agent | Organisation | PoliticalParty |

The 1998–99 FA Cup Qualifying Rounds opened the 118th season of competition in England for 'The Football Association Challenge Cup' (FA Cup), the world's oldest association football single knockout competition. A total of 558 clubs were accepted for the competition, down five from the previous season’s 563. The large number of clubs entering the tournament from lower down (Levels 5 through 8) in the English football pyramid meant that the competition started with five rounds of preliminary (1) and qualifying (4) knockouts for these non-League teams. The 32 winning teams from Fourth Round Qualifying progressed to the First Round Proper, where League teams tiered at Levels 3 and 4 entered the competition. | Event | Tournament | SoccerTournament |

Búðarháls hydroelectric power plant (Icelandic: Búðarhálsstöð) is the seventh largest power station of Landsvirkjun, the Icelandic national power company. It is located in the south of Iceland, around 150 km to the east of Reykjavík, among the Þjórsá and Tungnaá water catchment area, near the junction of the Kaldakvísl and Tungnaá rivers. It was officially launched on 7 March 2014. This power plant is the newest of six hydroelectric plants (the others being Búrfell, Sultartangi, Hrauneyjafoss, Vatnsfell and Sigalda) in the Þjórsá-Tungnaá area, and it is able to produce 585 GWh annually with its installed capacity of 95 MW (2 x 47.5 MW). The created reservoir, Sporðalda in the southeast of the mountain, with a surface of 7 km² and a total capacity of 50 hm³, is backed up by two embankment dams. The Búðarháls power station is very important to the development of Iceland´s hydropower plants, since it connects all power plants on this river, which allows Iceland to use the whole river from the top until the bottom to its fullest, in order to make it unnecessary to destroy and dam other rivers instead. | Place | Infrastructure | Dam |

The Witch's Dungeon Classic Movie Museum in Bristol, Connecticut is a collection of figures of classic movie monsters. The museum is owned by Bristol-native Cortlandt Hull. Cortlandt is the great nephew of film actor Henry Hull. Josephine Hull, well known for her role in the classic film and stage play Arsenic and Old Lace, is also a relative. In 1966, Cortlandt's father helped him build the Swiss chalet-style building to house the museum. Cortlandt built life-size figures of classic movie monsters that were made of wax, fine wire mesh, papier-mache and polymers. The figures were later replaced with more accurate ones.The website onlyinyourstate.com has named The Witch’s Dungeon Classic Movie Museum number four on its list of \"The 10 Weirdest Places You Can Possibly Go In Connecticut.\" The article, written March 22 by Taylor Ellis, begins as follows: \"Some of the weirdest places are in Connecticut.\" The museum is only open on weekend evenings during the month of October. The new location for \"The Witch's Dungeon Classic Movie Museum\" is in the 1890 building of \"The Bristol Historical Society\" on 98 Summer Street in Bristol, CT. The greatly expanded format allows for each figure to have its own backdrop and props. Additionally the museum features professional level lighting by Emmy award winning Bill Diamond. Pictures at left are the newly added Dungeon hosts, Carmilla and her loyal butler Farnsworth. This adds to the tour having a more traditional wax museum feel. The heads of many of the figurines have been based on life-casts of the actual actors who portrayed them. Background sets and clothing are authentic to the era, with some costumes or props actually used in the original films. Characters represented in the museum are: \n* Frankenstein's Monster (portrayed by Boris Karloff) \n* Erik, The Phantom Of The Opera (portrayed by Lon Chaney Sr.) \n* Zenobia, The Gypsy Witch (an original character voiced by June Foray) \n* The Abominable Dr. Phibes (portrayed by Vincent Price) \n* The Creature from the Black Lagoon (portrayed by Ricou Browning) \n* Count Dracula (portrayed by Béla Lugosi) \n* The Mole People \n* Kharis, The Mummy (portrayed by Lon Chaney Jr.) \n* Professor Henry Jarrod (scarred and unscarred versions), from House Of Wax (portrayed by Vincent Price) (one wears the original suit worn by Vincent Price in the film) \n* The Fly (portrayed by David (Al) Hedison) \n* Nosferatu, Count Orlok (portrayed by Max Schreck) \n* The Masque of the Red Death, from The Phantom of the Opera (portrayed by Lon Chaney Sr.) \n* Dr. Niemann (with Dracula's skeleton), from House of Frankenstein (portrayed by Boris Karloff) \n* The Beast from La Belle et la Bête (portrayed by Jean Marais) \n* Maleficent, from Disney's Sleeping Beauty \n* Dr. Wilfred Glendon, The Werewolf of London (portrayed by Henry Hull). | Place | Building | Museum |
