Ken Hunter (born 28 April 1957 in Perth, Western Australia) is a former champion Australian rules football player who played for the Carlton Football Club in the VFL (now AFL). Recruited from Claremont, WA, where he played 99 games between 1975 and 1980, he was known for his courage, sustaining three broken jaws within two years. Coming to Carlton in 1981, he had a near perfect induction into the VFL, with the Blues winning the premiership, and being voted club best and fairest playing mainly as a half back flanker. Quickly becoming a fan favourite with his high leaping ability and determination, he had another stellar season in 1982, with the Blues winning back to back flags. 1983 saw Hunter showing his versatility, playing more on-ball and in the forward line and ended up leading the Carlton goalkicking for the season. He also won the Mark of the Year that season, with a mark taken running into a pack with the flight of the ball, further reflective Hunter's reputation for courageous play. In Round 11 of 1984 he kicked eight goals against Footscray and in 1988 he kicked six goals from just eight kicks against the Brisbane Bears. In 1987, Hunter won a third premiership as a club veteran and vice-captain, playing under captain Stephen Kernahan. Post football he was a board member for the Carlton Football Club serving under presidents John Elliott (1993–2002) and Ian Collins (2002–2006).

Elisabeth of Bavaria (1478 – 15 September 1504) was a Princess of Bavaria-Landshut by birth and by marriage a Electress of the Palatinate. After her father's death, she was also Duchess of Bavaria-Landshut. She was the daughter of Duke George the Rich and his wife Hedwig Jagiellonica. After the death of her brother Louis in 1496, the Duchy of Bavaria-Landshut was without a male heir. The Wittelsbach House Treaties of 1392 and 1450 prescribed that the territory of Bavaria-Landshut should be divided among the other Bavarian duchies, if the line should die out in the male line. Duke George ignored these treaties and left his territory to his daughter in a last will and testament dated 19 September 1496. In 1499 Elisabeth married Ruprecht of the Palatinate. She had twins, Rupert and George; they both died in 1504. Her other sons, Philip, Duke of Palatinate-Neuburg and Otto Henry, Elector Palatine survived into adulthood. In 1503 George appointed Ruprecht as governor of Lower Bavaria. George died on 1 December 1503 and she disbanded the Regency Council of the Estates. Her resolute approach contributed to the oubreak of the Landshut War of Succession. Her opponent Albrecht IV of Bavaria-Munich had stronger allies, and soon Emperor Maximilian joined his side. Her husband died of dysentery on 20 August 1504. Elizabeth continued the war, and had her troops occupy the towns of Landshut, Dingolfing and Moosburg an der Isar. She was declared an outlaw. Her Bohemian allies suffered a decisive defeat at Wenzenbach on 12 September 1504. Three days later, she, too, died of dysentery. She was buried the Cistercian monastery Seligenthal in Landshut. | Agent | Person | Noble |
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines is a 2004 action role-playing video game developed by Troika Games and released by Activision for Microsoft Windows. Set in White Wolf Publishing's World of Darkness, the game is based on White Wolf's role-playing game Vampire: The Masquerade and follows either a male or female character who is killed and subsequently revived as a fledgling vampire. The game depicts the fledgling's journey through 21st-century Los Angeles to uncover the truth behind a recently discovered relic that heralds the end of all vampires. Bloodlines is presented from first- and third-person perspectives. The player assigns their character to one of several vampire clans—each with unique powers, customize their combat and dialog abilities and progress through Bloodlines with violent and nonviolent methods. The selection of clan affects how the player is perceived in the game world, and which powers and abilities they possess; this opens up different avenues of exploration and methods of interacting with or manipulating other characters. The player is able to complete side missions away from the primary storyline by moving freely between the available hubs: Santa Monica, Hollywood, downtown Los Angeles, and Chinatown. Troika's 32-member team began development of Bloodlines in November 2001, as an indirect sequel to the previous year's Vampire: The Masquerade – Redemption. Troika used Valve Corporation's Source game engine, then-in-development, which was being used for Valve's own Half-Life 2. The game's production was turbulent, as the design's scope exceeded the available resources, and the team were left without a producer for nearly a year until Activision appointed David Mullich to the role, where he found designs and levels unfinished or abandoned. After three years in development with no end in sight and running over budget, Activision set a strict deadline for completion, and Bloodlines was released incomplete in November 2004. Released in competition with Half-Life 2 and several other titles, Bloodlines sold fewer than 80,000 copies during its initial release, which was considered a poor performance. It divided critics at the time; although they praised the game's writing and scale of choice, they criticized its technical flaws. It was Troika Games' last production before its failure in early 2005, when it was unable to secure additional projects. The game has a cult following as a rarely replicated example of gameplay and narrative, and contemporary criticism has recognised it as a flawed masterpiece. As of 2016, Bloodlines had received twelve years of post-release support from its fans, who have supplied fixes and restored lost and deleted content. | Work | Software | VideoGame |

14 Herculis c or 14 Her c is an extrasolar planet approximately 59 light-years away in the constellation of Hercules. The planet was found orbiting the star 14 Herculis, with a mass that would likely make the planet a gas giant roughly the same size as Jupiter but much more massive. This planet was discovered on November 17, 2005 and confirmed on November 2, 2006. According to a recent analysis, the existence of a second planet in the 14 Herculis system is \"clearly\" supported by the evidence, but the planet's parameters are not precisely known. It may be in a 4:1 resonance with the inner planet 14 Herculis b. | Place | CelestialBody | Planet |

American rapper Angel Haze has released one studio album, one internet album, two extended plays (EPs), four mixtapes and nineteen singles (including four as a featured artist and nine promotional singles). In July 2012, after releasing two prior mixtapes, Haze released a mixtape Reservation online for free. The title is inspired by the act of reserving a table at a restaurant, saying \"[…] For me, it’s like that with the rap industry. I made my reservation there […] and now I’m finally arriving\". The lead single \"New York\" peaked at number 58 on the UK Singles Chart, and number 12 on the UK R&B Singles Chart. Shortly after, Haze released a commercial EP compiled of tracks from Reservation, titled New York, followed by a fourth mixtape, Classick. Throughout late 2013, during the run-up to the release of the debut album, Haze released a cover of a popular song every day, for thirty days. Most famous from these freestyles was the adaptation of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis's track \"Same Love\", which discusses childhood, prejudice, homophobia and sexuality. The series was dubbed 30 Gold. In late 2013, Haze leaked their debut album Dirty Gold after a disagreement with the record label, who wanted to put out the album sometime in early 2014. Due to Haze's leaking of the project, their label quickly released the album, and it was officially distributed to online retailers on December 30, 2013. It was a commercial failure, with reports claiming that the album may have sold as few as 850 copies in its debut week. Dirty Gold was preceded by the single \"Echelon (It's My Way)\" and spawned the single \"Battle Cry\" which featured Australian singer Sia. The latter of the singles achieved minor success in the UK, peaking at number 70 on the UK Singles Chart, and 12 on the UK R&B Singles Chart. In February 2015, after a one-year hiatus of touring, two promotional singles were released to promote Haze's upcoming projects, titled \"CANDLXS\" and \"GXMES\". On September 14, 2015, Haze released a project titled Back to the Woods which was described as \"something to share before [the] sophomore\". | Work | MusicalWork | ArtistDiscography |

Theo Charles Theophanous (born 16 June 1948) is an Australian former politician. He entered politics in 1988 as a Member of the Victorian Legislative Council. Theophanous served from 1988 to 2006 as one of the two members for Jika Jika Province, before the reforms to the Victorian Legislative Council that introduced proportional representation. He served as a Minister in the Kirner Government and as the leader of the opposition in the Legislative Council from 1993 until 1999. From 2006 until 2010 he represented the Northern Metropolitan Region and served as Minister in the Bracks and Brumby Governments. Before entering Parliament he was active in Australian Labor Party (ALP) politics in the federal electorate of Batman and published his views about Ethnicity and Politics in Northcote. He was active in the Socialist Left (SL) faction of the Victorian ALP. In 1995 he was a candidate for ALP preselection for the seat of Batman for the 1996 Federal election, but withdrew due to pressure from within the party for the preselection to be given to then Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) President Martin Ferguson. Despite a public campaign to “Let Batman Vote”, Theophanous withdrew after threats that the National Executive of the ALP would intervene to overturn any local vote and give the preselection to Ferguson. Theophanous' withdrawal from the Batman preselection meant that he was not able to join his brother Andrew Theophanous in Federal Parliament. Ironically Martin Ferguson joined his own brother Laurie Ferguson in Federal Parliament. In 1996, Theophanous’ supporters moved a motion of no confidence in the leadership of the Socialist Left faction. This motion was defeated by a narrow margin in a meeting of more than 500 members. Theophanous then walked out of the Socialist Left meeting and left the faction. Theophanous then formed the Labor Renewal Alliance (LRA) with support from Greek, Latin American and Lebanese branches. The LRA allied itself and eventually merged with the Labor Unity Faction. This dramatically changed the balance of power in the Victorian Labor Party, with Labor Unity and the LRA gaining control of the Australian Labor Party. With the election of the Bracks government in 1999, Theophanous was made Parliamentary Secretary. He was appointed Minister for Energy and Resources after the 2002 Victorian election. Theophanous resigned as a Minister in December 2008. He was subsequently cleared of allegations against him; he then resigned from Parliament in February 2010. Since retirement from politics, Theophanous has been an active board member, political commentator, and charity advocate. | Agent | Person | OfficeHolder |

Semachrysa jade is a species of green lacewing from the Malaysian states of Perak, Selangor and Sabah. So far, very few specimens have been found, all female. They exhibit extensive black markings on the basal portion of both wings, which differentiates them from the 14 other species in the genus Semachrysa. The species was discovered when a Malaysian amateur photographer posted a picture of it to the online photo-sharing site Flickr. A California state entomologist saw it and was unable to identify the species; nor were any colleagues he shared the image with. Eventually, he contacted the photographer and was able to obtain a specimen. Further testing at the Natural History Museum in London confirmed that it was indeed a new species. Its discovery has been described as a triumph of citizen science. The species was listed among the Top 10 New Species 2013 discovered in 2012 as selected by the International Institute for Species Exploration at Arizona State University out of more than 140 nominated species. Its distinctiveness is its resemblance to a poisonous snake and its presence in an area of anthropogenic exploitation. The selection was publicised on 22 May 2013. | Species | Animal | Insect |
9641 Demazière, provisional designation 1994 PB30, is a stony asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 3 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by Belgian astronomer Eric Elst at ESO's La Silla Observatory site in northern Chile on 12 August 1994. The stony S-type body is also classified as a V-type or vestoid asteroid. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.1–2.8 AU once every 3 years and 10 months (1,403 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.13 and an inclination of 5° with respect to the plane of the ecliptic. The first precovery was obtained at Steward Observatory (Kitt Peak–Spacewatch) in 1991, extending the asteroid's observation arc by 3 years prior to its discovery. A rotational light-curve was obtained from photometric observations made at the U.S. Palomar Transient Factory, California, in November 2010. It showed a rotation period of 9.9121±0.0527 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.9 in magnitude (U=2). The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes a standard albedo for stony asteroids of 0.20 and calculates a diameter of 2.7 kilometers, based on an absolute magnitude of 15.2. The minor planet was named in honor of Belgian female scientist Martine De Mazière (b. 1960), director-general at the Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy as of 2016. Working with the optical scanning of Earth's atmosphere, her research focuses on the effect of aerosols in the atmosphere's composition. Mazière has also assessed the post-Pinatubo NO2 reduction and recovery, using spectroscopic observations in the UV and visible made at the Swiss Sphinx Observatory (Jungfraujoch) over a period of 10 years. Naming citation was published on 4 May 1999 (M.P.C. 34630). | Place | CelestialBody | Planet |
Frederick \"Fred\" Pagnam (4 September 1891 – March 1962) was an English footballer and manager. Pagnam was born in Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire, and started at Blackpool Wednesday before having spells at Huddersfield Town (though he never played for the club) and Southport Central. He joined Blackpool in 1913 and after a season there moved to Liverpool in 1914. A striker, he scored on his Reds debut, against Chelsea on 10 October 1914 and scored four against Tottenham Hotspur a couple of weeks later; he scored 26 that season and was Liverpool's top scorer. Pagnam's time at Liverpool coincided with a conspiracy by some Liverpool players to rig a match with Manchester United, in order to profit from betting on the result, in what became known as the 1915 British football betting scandal. Pagnam refused to take part in the conspiracy and even threatened to score a goal to ruin the prearranged result; United won 2-0 as agreed, but four Liverpool players and three United players were found guilty of match-fixing by the Football Association, with Pagnam testifying against his team-mates. The outbreak of World War I meant competitive football was suspended at the end of the 1914-15 season; Pagnam continued to play for Liverpool through the war, but when football resumed after hostilities ceased, Pagnam played only eight more matches for Liverpool before being sold to Arsenal in October 1919. Pagnam made his Arsenal debut against Bradford City on 25 October 1919 and was moderately prolific in his first season, scoring twelve League goals, although Henry White finished higher than Pagnam in the scoring charts. The next season, 1920-21, Pagnam finished as Arsenal top scorer with 15 goals, despite the fact that he had been sold to Cardiff City for £3,000 (Arsenal were quite strapped for cash at the time) in March 1921. In all he scored 27 goals in 53 appearances for Arsenal. Pagnam lasted nine months at Ninian Park before moving to Third Division South Watford in December 1921. In five seasons and 144 league matches, he scored 67 goals for the Hornets and was the Third Division South top scorer in 1922-23. In 1926 he became Watford's manager; he spent three years in the job but achieved little. Watford finished 21st out of 22 in his first season but finished 8th in 1928-29. After leaving Watford, he had spells in Turkey, coaching Galatasaray SK and the Turkish national team, and in the Netherlands at DWV Amsterdam (1934–1937), HVV Den Haag (1935 caretaker), De Volewijckers (1937–1939) and CVV Vriendenschaar (1939) before returning to the UK in 1939 with his Dutch wife at the outbreak of World War II, where he ran a pub. Pagnam died in 1962 aged 70. | Agent | SportsManager | SoccerManager |

The Papaloapan River (Spanish: Río Papaloapan) is one of the main rivers of the Mexican state of Veracruz. Its name comes from the Nahuatl papaloapan meaning \"river of the butterflies\". Juan de Grijalva's 1517 expedition discovered the river, naming it Rio de Alvarado. The Papaloapan rises in the Sierra Madre Oriental on the border between the states of Veracruz and Oaxaca. It is formed where the Santo Domingo River and the Valle Nacional River join to the southwest of San Juan Bautista Tuxtepec in Oaxaca. The Tonto River is another major tributary.The Papaloapan meanders for 122 km (76 mi) in a northeasterly direction through the coastal plain before draining into Alvarado lagoon.The river basin covers 46,517 km2 (17,960 sq mi), the second largest in Mexico, and contains 244 municipalities with a population of about 3.3 million people.The cities of San Juan Bautista Tuxtepec and Tlacotalpan (Veracruz) are situated on the banks of the Papaloapan. In the past the Papaloapan river basin was subject to frequent flooding, with the damage sometimes compounded by cyclones. A particularly severe flood in September 1944 covered 470,000 hectares (1,200,000 acres), with great loss of life and property. The Miguel Alemán Dam on the Tonto river reduced the problem, but further floods occurred after it had been completed in 1955. A flood in 1958 covered 195,000 ha (480,000 acres) and one in 1969 covered 340,000 ha (840,000 acres).Meanwhile, the drainage capacity of the Papaloapan river was being reduced by silt carried by the Santo Domingo river.Construction of the Cerro de Oro Dam in 1989 on the Santo Domingo river reduced the extent of floods to a manageable level. The states of Oaxaca and Veracruz are cooperating in developing the river basin. Plans include irrigation to improve agricultural production, promotion of forestry and fish farming and improvements to roads and river navigation. The planned projects will be designed to avoid ecological damage. Environmental damage has been the subject of considerable study. | Place | Stream | River |

Saved is a play by Edward Bond which premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London in November 1965. The play itself is set in London during the 1960s. Its subject is the cultural poverty and frustration of a generation of young people on the dole and living on council estates. In response to the censorship of the play, Laurence Olivier wrote a letter to The Observer, saying that: \"Saved is not a play for children but it is for grown-ups, and the grown-ups of this country should have the courage to look at it.\" U.S. novelist Mary McCarthy praised its \"remarkable delicacy\". Saved was originally refused a licence without severe cuts by the Lord Chamberlain. When it was performed to large private audiences, the Lord Chamberlain decided to prosecute those who were involved in the production of the play. Although the defendants pleaded guilty and were fined, the case reflected badly on the censorship office and was pivotal in the abolition of theatre censorship a few years later in 1968. The original cast included John Castle, Tony Selby, Ronald Pickup, Dennis Waterman, William Stewart, Barbara Ferris, Lucy Fleming, Gwen Nelson and Alison Fraser. The creative team included: director William Gaskill and lighting by Eric Baker. In February 1969, after the abolition of censorship in the 1968 Theatres Act, Saved was given its first full public run at the Royal Court Theatre in London. The revival cast included: Malcolm Tierney (as Len), Kenneth Cranham (as Fred), Patricia Franklin (as Pam), Queenie Watts (as Mary), Tom Chadbon, Peter Blythe and William Gaskill was the director. The play is rarely revived, though its theme of social disenfranchisement is seen by Bond as very relevant to the present day. In October 2011, the play was revived in London for the first time in 27 years, at the Lyric Hammersmith, directed by Sean Holmes. | Work | WrittenWork | Play |
Payton v. New York, 445 U.S. 573 (1980) was a United States Supreme Court case concerning warrantless entry into a private home in order to make a felony arrest. The Court struck down a New York statute providing for such warrantless entries because the Fourth Amendment draws a firm line at the entrance to the house. Absent exigent circumstances, that threshold may not be reasonably crossed without a warrant. The court, however, did specify that an arrest warrant (as opposed to a search warrant) would have sufficed for entry into the suspect's residence if there had been reason to believe that the suspect was within the home. Payton and related case law establish that the principle that a person in a home, particularly his or her own, is entitled Fourth Amendment protections not afforded to persons in automobiles, as per Whren v. United States, or to persons in public, as per United States v. Watson. | UnitOfWork | LegalCase | SupremeCourtOfTheUnitedStatesCase |
