Suffolk County Transit is the provider of bus services in Suffolk County, New York on Long Island in the United States and is an agency of the Suffolk County government. It was founded in 1980 as a county-run oversight and funding agency for a group of private contract operators which had previously provided such services on their own. While the physical maintenance and operation of the buses continue to be provided by these providers, other matters ranging from bus purchases to route and schedule planning to fare rules are set by Suffolk Transit itself. Though serving the entirety of Suffolk County, the one exception is in Huntington, located in the northwestern part of the county, where that town's private operator declined to join Suffolk Transit. Instead, Huntington took over that town's system which became Huntington Area Rapid Transit, or HART. Most of HART's routes do connect to both Suffolk Transit and Nassau Inter-County Express and one can transfer between HART and Suffolk Transit fairly easily. In addition, the village of Patchogue has its own local bus service. | Agent | Company | BusCompany |

114 Kassandra is a large and dark main-belt asteroid. It belongs to the rare class T. It was discovered by C. H. F. Peters on July 23, 1871, and is named after Cassandra, the prophetess in the tales of the Trojan War. The asteroid is featured in the 2009 film Meteor, in which it is split in two by a comet, and set on a collision course with Earth. This object is classified as a rare T-type asteroid, with parts of the spectrum displaying properties similar to the mineral troilite and to carbonaceous chondrite. The shape of the spectrum also appears similar to fine grain from the Ornans meteorite, which landed in France in 1868. The light curve for this asteroid displays a period of 10.758 ± 0.004 hours with a brightness variation of 0.25 ± 0.01 in magnitude. During 2001, 114 Kassandra was observed by radar from the Arecibo Observatory. The return signal matched an effective diameter of 100 ± 14 km. This is consistent with the asteroid dimensions computed through other means. In the plot of 2009 disaster film Meteor (TV miniseries) 114 Kassandra was deflected by a collision with a comet, putting it on a collision course with earth. | Place | CelestialBody | Planet |
(9942) 1989 TM1 is a stony asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 4.5 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 8 October 1989, by Japanese astronomers Nobuhiro Kawasato and Tsutomu Hioki at Okutama Observatory (877), Japan. The stony S-type asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.2–3.0 AU once every 4 years and 2 months (1,529 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.17 and an inclination of 10° with respect to the plane of the ecliptic. A precovery was taken at the U.S. Palomar Observatory on 30 September 1989, extending the asteroid's observation arc by just 9 days prior to its discovery. In October 2010, a rotational light-curve for this asteroid was obtained from photometric observations at the U.S. Palomar Transient Factory, California. It rendered a tentative rotation period of 3.0706±0.0004 hours with a brightness variation of 0.08 in magnitude (U=1). The asteroid was predicted to cross the focal plane array of the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS). However, it was missed on each of its seven planned observation and was never detected. According to the \"missed predictions file\" of the supplemental IRAS minor planet survey (SIMPS), the body was expected to have a diameter of 13.5 kilometers and an absolute magnitude of 13.20. Based on an absolute magnitude of 13.99, and an assumed standard albedo for stony asteroids of 0.20, the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link calculated a much smaller diameter of 4.7 kilometers, which agrees with a diameter of 4.1 kilometers, found by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its subsequent NEOWISE mission. | Place | CelestialBody | Planet |

The East Waterford Lumber Company was an early 20th-century company which leased and harvested timberland in Juniata and Perry County, Pennsylvania. The company was organized by Daniel Buck of Bellefonte, James Hockenberry of East Waterford, and a third partner, named Brown, about 1905. The company built a sawmill, two stave mills, and a lath mill in East Waterford. This town was served by the narrow gauge Tuscarora Valley Railroad, which provided an outlet for finished lumber from the mills. The additional cost of transfer between the Tuscarora Valley and the standard gauge Pennsylvania Railroad forced the lumber company to specialize in finished lumber, rather than lower-margin mine props. To bring timber to the mills, the company planned a logging railroad from a connection with the Tuscarora Valley at East Waterford toward its timberlands. The railroad was incorporated on May 16, 1905 as the East Waterford and Kansas Valley Railroad, and it acquired the rails and Climax locomotive of the Perry Lumber Company, which was then being dismantled. The railroad was built using a 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge, the same as the connecting Tuscarora Valley. The line ran south from the interchange at East Waterford and the mills along Horse Valley Road, following the road through Waterford Gap in Tuscarora Mountain. Past the mountain, it forked, with one branch running up Kansas Valley to the company's lumber camp at Big Knob, and the other running south along Horse Valley. The total length was less than 8 miles (13 km). On April 1, 1907, Brown was bought out by Cummings McNitt, formerly a partner of the logging operation McNitt Bros. & Co. McNitt gradually purchased the interests of Buck and Hockenberry as logging progressed, and was sole owner when the company was wound up after exhaustion of the timber. McNitt entered into partnership with H.C. Hower, the lumber broker who disposed of much of the timber shipped over the Tuscarora Valley Railroad, and they formed the Juniata Lumber Company to log a tract in Maryland. The Climax locomotive was sold to the new company and the railroad was dismantled in 1909. The line up Kansas Valley and a small part of the line in Horse Valley now lies within the boundaries of Tuscarora State Forest. | Agent | Organisation | PublicTransitSystem |

1904 Massevitch, provisionally designated 1972 JM, is a reddish asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, about 18 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by the Russian astronomer Tamara Smirnova at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory in Nauchnyj, on the Crimean peninsula, on 9 May 1972. The surface of the moderately bright R-type asteroid absorbs stronly in the olivine and pyroxene spectral region, which give it its very reddish color. It has an albedo of 0.16 and 0.19, as observed by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite, IRAS and derived by the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link, respectively. The asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.5–2.9 AU once every 4 years and 6 months (1,660 days). Its orbit shows an eccentricity of 0.07 and is tilted by 13 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic. In September 2014, photometric observation of nine asteroids, including 1904 Massevitch, at the Oakley Southern Sky Observatory in Coonabarabran, Australia, determined the asteroid's rotation period to be 5.394±0.003 hours with an amplitude of 0.30 in magnitude. It is named after Alla Genrichovna Massevitch, a female astronomer-astrophysicist, vice-president of the Astronomical Council of the former USSR Academy of Sciences (now Russian Academy of Sciences), the organizer of optical tracking of artificial Earth satellites in the former USSR. | Place | CelestialBody | Planet |

Pioneering metalcore bands—such as Integrity, Earth Crisis and Converge, all of which had formed by 1990—are described as leaning more toward hardcore, with their style sometimes being called metallic hardcore, whereas later bands—such as Killswitch Engage, All That Remains, As I Lay Dying, Bullet for My Valentine, and Parkway Drive—are described as leaning more towards metal. Sepultura, who have been said to have \"helped to lay the groundwork\" in the 2000s, and Pantera, who influenced Trivium, Atreyu, Bleeding Through and Unearth, have been particularly influential to the development of metalcore in the 2000s. Some bands in the genre have achieved considerable commercial success in this period. | TopicalConcept | Genre | MusicGenre |

Dragoș, also known as Dragoș Vodă, or Dragoș the Founder was the first Voivode of Moldavia, who reigned in the middle of the 14th century, according to the earliest Moldavian chronicles. The same sources say that Dragoș came from Maramureş while chasing an aurochs or bison across the Carpathian Mountains. His descălecat, or \"dismounting\", on the banks of the Moldova River has traditionally been regarded as the symbol of the foundation of the Principality of Moldavia in Romanian historiography. Most details of his life are uncertain. Historians have identified him either with Dragoș of Bedeu or with Dragoș of Giulești, who were Vlach, or Romanian, landowners in the Kingdom of Hungary. Most Moldavian chronicles write that Dragoș came to Moldavia in 1359, but modern historians tend to propose an earlier date (1345, 1347, and 1352). Dragoș became the head of a march of the Kingdom of Hungary, which emerged after a Hungarian army inflicted a crushing defeat on a large army of the Golden Horde in 1345. Early sources say that he founded Baia and Siret, and invited Saxon settlers who introduced viticulture in Moldavia. According to the traditional dating, he died in 1361, but earlier years (1353, c. 1354 and 1357) have also been suggested by historians. Dragoș did not establish a royal dynasty, because his grandson, Balc, was expelled from Moldavia by Bogdan of Cuhea, an other Vlach landowner from Maramureş. | Agent | Person | Monarch |

Basileuterus is a genus of New World warblers, best represented in Central and South America. This is one of only two warbler genera that are well represented in the latter continent. Some species formerly considered in this genus are now placed in the genus Myiothlypis. It is likely that the ancestors of this genus colonised South America from the family’s heartland in northern Central America even before the two continents were linked, and subsequent speciation provided most of the resident warbler species of that region. These are mainly robust warblers with a stout bill. The majority of species have olive or grey upperparts and yellow underparts. The head is often strikingly marked with a long broad supercilium, a coloured crown or crown stripes, and often other striking head markings. Many species are not well-studied, but those for which the breeding habits are known all build a domed nest on a bank or on the ground, so this is presumably typical of the genus as a whole. | Species | Animal | Bird |

The Puerto del Escudo (Pass of the Shield) is a mountain pass at 1,011 meters elevation located in the valley of Luena, to the east of the Sierra del Escudo mountain range and on the boundary between Cantabria and Castile (province of Burgos) in Spain. The source of the Magdalena or Luena River is located there. It has been one of the main access routes from the coast to the interior plateau crossing the Cantabrian Mountains. At the moment the N-623 highway runs over it and is well known for its steep inclines on its Cantabrian slope that can be up to 15%, causing a difficult transit for heavy vehicles. This characteristic and its altitude result in the relatively frequent closing of the pass when there is heavy snow in the winter. During the Spanish Civil War, the pass was the site of a decisive battle between Republican forces (trying to hold the pass) and Italian forces (trying to dislodge them), part of the Battle of Santander. A pyramid-shaped tomb for the Italians killed in the battle still stands at the top of the pass, although their bodies were removed some years ago. | Place | NaturalPlace | MountainPass |

Mother Mariana of the Purification (November 5, 1623 in Lisbon – December 8, 1695 in Beja) was a nun of the Carmelite Order of the Ancient Observance who, having been born in Lisbon, Portugal, and lived and professed her religious vows at the Carmelite Convent of Our Lady of Hope in Beja, Portugal, died with the odor of sanctity. During her life, she reported several apparitions of the Child Jesus and left many autobiographical writings with ascetic interest. In the 19th century, Bishop Dom António Xavier de Sousa Monteiro made the exhumation of Mother Mariana's, previously analyzed and confirmed as incorrupt by an inspection of Fray Manuel of the Cenacle, and relocated it to the Church of Salvador, in Beja, which is still in the side chapel of the main altar. In the 20th century, with the request of the parish priest and with the permission of Bishop Manuel dos Santos Rocha, the body was again exposed to public veneration. Currently it is covered. The only picture of it is in the Museum Church of Our Lady of Prazeres of Beja. | Agent | Cleric | Saint |
