The bishop pine, Pinus muricata, is a pine with a very restricted range: mostly in California, including several offshore Channel Islands, and a few locations in Baja California, Mexico. It is always on or near the coast. In San Luis Obispo County it is found alone or in stands scattered on the coastal mountains and hills from Morro Bay to Shell Beach. A few stands of the tree are seen on the hills above the Sycamore Canyon Resort in Avila Beach. Within the City of San Luis Obispo, the Terrace Hill Open Space has several scattered specimens. Bishop pine seems to prefer already disturbed, unvegetated areas where it probably faces less competition from oaks and shrubs. The common name \"bishop pine\" resulted from the tree having been first identified near the Mission of San Luis Obispo in San Luis Obispo, California. This tree has a large number of common names and other prior scientific names, due primarily to numerous variant forms. Other English names that have occasionally been used are: prickle cone pine, Obispo pine, Santa Cruz pine and dwarf marine pine. | Species | Plant | Conifer |

After an entire season without making a single appearance in Serie A he then transferred to Real Zaragoza in 1996, where he finally received his first minutes in Europe. Rambert played only one season in Spain before returning to his homeland to sign with Boca Juniors. This move was followed by stints at River Plate, Independiente and then a return to Europe for a brief season in Greece with Iraklis. He returned to Argentina to sign with Arsenal de Sarandí, where he ended his playing career in 2003. Since then, he has been an assistant coach to manager Ramón Díaz at Club América and San Lorenzo. He is one of the few players to have played for three of the \"Big Five\" clubs in Argentina: Boca Juniors, River Plate and Club Atlético Independiente. Current, he is the coach of Crucero del Norte. | Agent | SportsManager | SoccerManager |

Burevestnik (Russian: Буревестник) was a Russian language anarchist periodical published in Paris between 1906 and 1910. It had the subtitle 'Organ of the Russian Anarchist Communists'. The publication was the most prominent periodical of Russian anarchist émigrés in the aftermath of the Russian revolution of 1905. It was edited by Maksim Rayevsky and Nikolai Rogdaev. Nineteen issues of Burevestnik were published during its five years of existence. The name Burevestnik was inspired by Maxim Gorky's poem \"The Song of the Stormy Petrel\" (Песня о Буревестнике). The masthead of the publication carried the final line of the poem, Let the tempest come strike harder! (Пусть сильнее грянет буря!). The publication included lengthy debates on the use of terrorism as well as information on the activities of the anarchist movement in Russia. Burevestnik generally adhered to the political line from the Kropotkinite Khleb i Volia group, although anti-syndicalist viewpoints were also expressed in some of its articles (through the participation of Abram Grossman). Between 1906 and 1907, Grossman used the signature \"A -\" in Burevestnik. He vehemently accused the Kropotkinists of conflating syndicalism and anarchism, stating that they had been led astray by the French labour movement. Instead, he called for \"direct, illegal, revolutionary means of warfare\" to be applied in Russia. Articles from the Burevestnik Paris groups were often reproduced in the New York-based publication Golos Truda, which Rayevsky edited when he moved to the US. | Work | PeriodicalLiterature | Newspaper |

The Lubefu River is a tributary of the Sankuru River, which in turn is a tributary of the Kasai River in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. One of the first Europeans to visit the river was Alexandre Delcommune in 1887 during an epic exploration of navigable rivers in the Congo Basin.An account of a journey through the Kasai River region in 1908 said there were crocodiles in the river but due to the rapid current there were no hippopotami except where the river joins the Sankuru. The river is fast, narrow and winding, and in places the overhanging trees form a tunnel. From Bena Dibele, a town on the Sankuru just below the point where it is joined by the Lubefu to the government station of Lubefu is about 100 miles (160 km). However, it took 19 days for a whaleboat with experienced paddlers to cover this distance. The Belgian colonial authorities forced the peasants of the area to grow cotton against their will. Direct refusal to plant cotton would have been suicidal given the brutal techniques of the colonialists. One passive resistance technique was to boil the cotton seeds before planting them, so they would not germinate. In 1925 people living in the southern plains of the Lubefu explained to a state agronomist that \"the soil is burning the cotton seeds\". | Place | Stream | River |

The Florida National Guard is the National Guard force of the U.S. state of Florida. It comprises the Florida Army National Guard and the Florida Air National Guard. The United States Constitution charges the National Guard with dual federal and state missions. Ordinarily under the control of the state government (in which the governor is the commander-in-chief) pursuant to Title 32 of the United States Code, National Guard troops may also be called into active federal service with the United States Army or the United States Air Force (in which the president serves as commander-in-chief) and deployed world-wide with their active duty Army and Air Force counterparts. The Florida National Guard, like those of other states, provides trained and equipped units for prompt mobilization in case of war or national emergency. Guardsmen may take part in functions ranging from limited actions in non-emergency situations to full-scale law enforcement (martial law) in cases when the governor determines that ordinary law enforcement officials can no longer maintain civil control. The state mission assigned to the National Guard is \"to provide trained and disciplined forces for domestic emergencies or as otherwise provided by state law.\" The Florida National Guard serves as the state's \"defense force.\" Florida currently has no State Defense Force (SDF). The State Defense Force is a military entity described by the Florida Statutes as a state-authorized militia prepared to assume the state mission of the Florida National Guard in the event that all of Florida's National Guard units are federally mobilized and authorized by executive order when the situation requires. If needed, the SDF would be recruited, trained, organized, equipped and deployed, under direction of the Adjutant General of Florida and the cadre of full-time state military officers within the Florida Department of Military Affairs at the department's joint training center at Camp Blanding, Florida. It is unlikely that a SDF would be created in the near future. During World War II, the Florida State Guard served as the official state defense force of Florida, and was organized as a stateside replacement for the Florida National Guard and executed the stateside duties of the National Guard for the duration of the war. National coordination of various state National Guard units are maintained through the National Guard Bureau. | Agent | Organisation | MilitaryUnit |

1027 Aesculapia, provisional designation A923 YO11, is a stony asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, about 32 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by Belgian–American astronomer George Van Biesbroeck at the U.S Yerkes Observatory in Williams Bay, Wisconsin, on 11 November 1923. The S-type asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.7–3.6 AU once every 5 years and 7 months (2,045 days). Its orbit shows an eccentricity of 0.13 and is tilted by 1 degree to the plane of the ecliptic. It is a member of the Themis family, a dynamical family of outer-belt asteroids which are known for their nearly coplanar ecliptical orbits. Several observations of the asteroid's rotation period rendered divergent results in the range of 7 to 20 hours, with the two most recent 2015-publications giving a period of 9.8 and 19.5 hours, respectively. According to the surveys carried out by IRAS, Akari, and WISE/NEOWISE, the body has a albedo between 0.07 and 0.10. The minor planet was named for Aesculapius, the Greek and Roman demigod of medicine and healing, son of Apollo and Koronis, after whom the asteroids 158 Koronis and 1862 Apollo and are named, respectively. | Place | CelestialBody | Planet |
James Douglas, 3rd Earl of Angus, Lord of Liddesdale and Jedburgh Forest (1426–1446) was a Scottish Nobleman. He was the son of William Douglas, 2nd Earl of Angus and Margaret Hay of Yester. Angus succeeded at the age of eleven years, and was soon involved in strife with his Black Douglas cousins. He was forfeited of his estates by James II in 1445, under the influence of his near cousin William Douglas, 8th Earl of Douglas. The Earl of Douglas was trying to consolidate the power vacuum created and partially filled by the murder of his cousins at the \"Black Dinner\" at Edinburgh Castle, sanctioned by the king and his own father James the Gross, 7th Earl of Douglas. It has been suggested that the feud between the Black and Red Lines of the House of Douglas were fomented by Bishop Kennedy of St. Andrews as a method of controlling unruly magnates, and ensuring continued Stewart power. To compound the treachery, Kennedy was a first cousin through Angus' grandmother, Princess Mary of Scotland, a daughter of King Robert III. During his forfeiture, Angus was surprised at the reluctance of his tenantry to pay their Feus, he made a point of collecting them punctually in person. Angus died in 1446. He was betrothed briefly to Princess Joan, third daughter of King James I, she was twelve years old when he died and was with her sister the Dauphine of France. She later married James Douglas, 1st Earl of Morton, the head of the Douglases of Dalkeith.Angus was succeeded by his brother, George Douglas, 4th Earl of Angus in 1446. | Agent | Person | Noble |
