The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon (Latin: Pauperes commilitones Christi Templique Salomonici), commonly known as the Knights Templar, the Order of Solomon's Temple (French: Ordre du Temple or Templiers) or simply as Templars, were among the wealthiest and most powerful of the Western Christian military orders. They were prominent in Christian finance. The organisation existed for nearly two centuries during the Middle Ages. Officially endorsed by the Roman Catholic Church around 1129, the order became a favoured charity throughout Christendom and grew rapidly in membership and power. Templar knights, in their distinctive white mantles with a red cross, were among the most skilled fighting units of the Crusades. Non-combatant members of the order managed a large economic infrastructure throughout Christendom, developing innovative financial techniques that were an early form of banking, and building fortifications across Europe and the Holy Land. The Templars were closely tied to the Crusades; when the Holy Land was lost, support for the order faded. Rumours about the Templars' secret initiation ceremony created distrust, and King Philip IV of France, deeply in debt to the order, took advantage of the situation to gain control over them. In 1307, he had many of the order's members in France arrested, tortured into giving false confessions, and burned at the stake. Under pressure from King Philip, Pope Clement V disbanded the order in 1312. The abrupt reduction in power of a significant group in European society gave rise to speculation, legend and legacy use of their name through the ages. The \"Templar\" name has been kept alive to the modern day. | Agent | Organisation | MilitaryUnit |

The Justice Forum, commonly known as Jeema, is one of Uganda’s leading opposition parties, with representation in Parliament. Its \"Jeema\" acronym stands for: Justice, Education, Economic Revitalization, Morality and African Unity. Though political parties were banned in the country until 2005, Jeema managed to emerge in 1996 and fronted a presidential candidate in the same year and in 2001. Kibirige Mayanja who represented Jeema in both elections, led the party until 2010 when he handed over to Asuman Basalirwa, 33, the youngest party president in Uganda’s history. Jeema hit the road with huge support among the country’s Muslim population, posing a mighty threat to President Museveni’s ambition to rule for life. To contain its advance, Museveni’s government detained without trial, tortured and summarily killed countless Muslims, many of whom were Jeema mobilisers, for alleged or even fabricated links to the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), a rebel group that was active in the late 1990s. The forgotten terror – as the government-orchestrated atrocities on Muslims came to be known – greatly terrified Jeema members, leaving the party to go into recession. Recently, however, Jeema started experiencing a trend of revival, establishing a functioning Secretariat and intensifying nationwide mobilization. Under the Inter-party Cooperation, a loose alliance of leading opposition parties to which Jeema belongs, the party hopes to move from one to at least 10 parliamentary seats in the 2011 general election. | Agent | Organisation | PoliticalParty |

Celtic started season 2006-07 looking to retain the Scottish Premier League trophy and the Scottish League Cup. They also competed in the Scottish Cup, and entered the Champions League at the group stage. Such was the good form of Celtic and the lack of a clear rival in the early stages of the 2006–07 season, that bookmakers Paddy Power paid out on Celtic as the winners of the SPL on 6 November 2006, only 13 games into the season. By mid-November Celtic were 11 points clear of their nearest challengers. Having qualified automatically for the group stage of the Champions League, Celtic were drawn with Benfica, Copenhagen, and Manchester United. Although Celtic lost their 3 away games, a 100% record at home earned them qualification to the knockout stage for the first time since the group format was introduced in 1992–93. Their opponents in the last 16 were Milan. After both legs of the tie ended 0–0, Celtic's Champions League run was ended by a solitary Milan goal in extra-time by Kaká. During the January 2007 transfer window Celtic signed Scotland internationals and former Hearts players Steven Pressley and Paul Hartley, full-back Jean-Joël Perrier-Doumbé from Rennes on loan and goalkeeper Mark Brown from Inverness Caledonian Thistle. On 22 April 2007 Celtic won their second consecutive league championship, and 40th overall. The title was secured by an injury-time free-kick from Shunsuke Nakamura in a 2–1 victory against Kilmarnock. The result left Celtic 13 points clear of Rangers with four matches remaining. They finished the season 12 points above Rangers. On 26 May 2007 Celtic won the Scottish Cup for a record 34th time after beating Dunfermline 1–0. The winner was scored by Jean-Joël Perrier-Doumbé in the 84th minute. | SportsSeason | SportsTeamSeason | SoccerClubSeason |

Gilli was an eleventh-century Hebridean chieftain whose career coincided with an era of Orcadian overlordship in the Kingdom of the Isles. According to mediaeval saga-tradition, Gilli was a brother-in-law of Sigurðr Hlǫðvisson, Earl of Orkney, having married the latter's sister Hvarflǫð. Traditionally regarded as one of the most powerful Orcadian earls, Sigurðr appears to have extended his authority into the Isles in the late tenth century, and Gilli apparently acted as Sigurðr's viceroy or tributary earl in this region. Gilli's name is probably Gaelic in origin, and he seems to have seated himself on either Coll or Colonsay, islands in the Inner Hebrides. It is possible that Gilli is identical to Gilla Ciaráin mac Glún Iairn, an Uí Ímair dynast who was slain at the Battle of Clontarf in 1014. If not, another possibility is that he was the father of a certain Conamal/Conmáel who was killed in 980. | Agent | Person | Noble |
Cymothoa exigua, or the tongue-eating louse, is a parasitic isopod of the family Cymothoidae. This parasite enters fish through the gills, and then attaches itself to the fish's tongue. The female attaches to the tongue and the male attaches on the gill arches beneath and behind the female. Females are 8–29 millimetres (0.3–1.1 in) long and 4–14 mm (0.16–0.55 in) in maximum width. Males are approximately 7.5–15 mm (0.3–0.6 in) long and 3–7 mm (0.12–0.28 in) wide. The parasite severs the blood vessels in the fish's tongue, causing the tongue to fall off. It then attaches itself to the stub of what was once its tongue and becomes the fish's new tongue. | Species | Animal | Crustacean |
\"Un banc, un arbre, une rue\" (\"A Bench, a Tree, a Street\") was the winning song of the Eurovision Song Contest 1971 performed in French by French singer Séverine, representing Monaco. The song is a classic French ballad, with the lyric focusing on the loss of childhood innocence, and people following their dreams. The opening lines to the chorus translate as \"We all have a bench, a tree, a street/Where we cherished our dreams/A childhood that has been too short\". Four teenage male backup singers provided accompaniment. During Preview Week, Séverine sang the song in the empty square of Monte Carlo, first walking to a bench, then sitting down while performing the middle verses, and then ending the song by walking away out of camera focus. The song received the maximum score of 10 points (currently 12 points) from six voting nations. This song holds the record of receiving the most 10 point scores from this voting era. \"Un banc, un arbre, une rue\" was performed third on the night, following Malta's Joe Grech with \"Marija l-Maltija\" and preceding Switzerland's Peter, Sue & Marc with \"Les illusions de nos vingt ans\". By the close of voting, it had received 128 points, placing it first in a field of 18. Séverine recorded the song in four languages; French, English (as \"Chance in Time\"), German (\"Mach' die Augen zu (und wünsch dir einen Traum)\") and Italian (\"Il posto\"). The song was succeeded as contest winner in 1972 by Vicky Leandros singing \"Après toi\" for Luxembourg. It was succeeded as the Monegasque representative at the 1972 Contest by Peter McLane and Anne-Marie Godart with \"Comme on s'aime\". The melody was adapted and arranged in 1973 by Paul Mauriat as the theme tune for the Miss Hong Kong Pageant, hosted by Television Broadcasts Limited and has been highly familiar among generations of Hong Kong people since then. In that same year, Finnish singer Carola Standertskjöld recorded her version in Finnish, \"Penkki, puu ja puistotie\". | Work | Song | EurovisionSongContestEntry |

He suffered from shoulder problems in 1996 but didn't miss a single games in the 1997 AFL season and continued to be a regular fixture in the team over the next two years. Promising young key defenders, Trent Croad and Jonathan Hay, were making it difficult for Robran to claim a spot down back and in 1999 he was traded to Essendon.

Hawthorn acquired two draft picks from Collingwood, which would be used on Tim Clarke and Chance Bateman. With Essendon winning their first 20 games of the 2000 AFL season, on the way to their 16th premiership, Robran could only manage four appearances during the year.

Delisted at the end of the 2001 season, Robran returned to his original club, Norwood, where he would play until 2004. | Agent | Athlete | AustralianRulesFootballPlayer |
