Noddies are members of the tern family Sternidae in the genera Anous, Procelsterna, and Gygis. They are a tropical group, characterised by the notch-wedge shaped (not forked) tail; coastal and pelagic oceanic. Studies of mtDNA sequences (Bridge, 2005) have shown that the noddies are at least 2 groups that split off early from the ancestral terns at different points of time; the relationships of Procelsterna were not researched for lack of samples. It seems to represent either a third lineage linking the noddies and the marsh terns, or is closely related to Gygis. Genus Anous \n* Brown noddy or common noddy, Anous stolidus \n* Black noddy, Anous minutus \n* Lesser noddy, Anous tenuirostris Genus Procelsterna \n* Blue noddy, Procelsterna cerulea \n* Grey noddy, Procelsterna albivitta Genus Gygis \n* White tern, Gygis alba \n* Little white tern, Gygis microrhyncha Noddies are reportedly a dietary staple on the island of Nauru.

The Jade Buddha Temple (Chinese: 玉佛禅寺; pinyin: Yùfó Chán Sì; Shanghainese: Niueh-foe-tsaeh-zy, literally Jade Buddha Chan Temple) is a Buddhist temple in Shanghai, China. As with many modern Chinese Buddhist temples, the current temple draws from both the Pure Land and Chan traditions of Mahayana Buddhism. It was founded in 1882 with two jade Buddha statues imported to Shanghai from Burma by sea. These were a sitting Buddha (1.95 meters tall, 3 tonnes), and a smaller reclining Buddha representing the Buddha's death. The temple now also contains a much larger reclining Buddha made of marble, donated from Singapore, and visitors may mistake this larger sculpture for the original, smaller piece.

Zug's monitor (Varanus zugorum), also known as the silver monitor, is a species of monitor lizard found on the island of Halmahera in the Moluccas. It is currently only known from the vicinity of Jailolo District but its range is likely to be throughout the island. Zug's monitor was described from a juvenile museum specimen originally labeled as Varanus indicus. At least one or two specimens resembling the type specimen and generally agreed to represent this species have been imported at various times for the pet trade. Other than this however, the species is unknown. Its habits are unknown as it has not been observed in the wild and is rarely seen even by natives.

Tony Trimmer (born in Maidenhead, Berkshire on 24 January 1943) is a British former racing driver from England, who won the Shell British Formula 3 Championship and E.R. Hall Trophy in 1970. Tony Trimmer also won the prestigious Monaco F3 Race in 1970 driving a Brabham BT-28 and finished runner-up to Patrick Depailler in the 1972 edition. Trimmer entered six Formula One World Championship Grands Prix with uncompetitive teams, firstly Maki for four races in 1975 and 1976, resulting in four failures to qualify. He then entered the 1977 British Grand Prix (failed to pre-qualify) and the 1978 British Grand Prix (failed to qualify), with the Melchester Racing Team, driving a Surtees TS19 and a McLaren M23 respectively. However, also driving the Melchester McLaren, he finished a superb third in the rain-soaked 1978 BRDC International Trophy non-Championship race at Silverstone, coming home ahead of many of the greats of Formula One. That year he won the British Aurora F1 Championship. Trimmer was also one of the few people to drive the Connew Formula One car, in its last ever race (in later Formula 5000specification) in 1973. However the car collided with a barrier at Brands Hatch after a rear damper gave way. Other than World Championship races, Trimmer raced in many non-championship F1 races and is perhaps one of the drivers who drove the greatest variety of Formula One cars ever. The list includes the great Lotus 72 at the 1971 Race of Champions, the March 701, a Lotus 49, Fittipaldi F-8 and the one-off Safir RJ-02 (aka Token RJ-02), accessing from the old times \"tubby\" Lotus 49 up to a real wing-car Fittipaldi F8.

The 2012 UEFA European Championship, commonly referred to as UEFA Euro 2012 or simply Euro 2012, was the 14th European Championship for men's national football teams organised by UEFA. The final tournament, held between 8 June and 1 July 2012, was co-hosted for the first time by Poland and Ukraine, and was won by Spain, who beat Italy 4–0 in the final at the NSC Olimpiyskiy in Kiev, Ukraine. Poland and Ukraine's bid was chosen by UEFA's Executive Committee on 18 April 2007. The two host teams qualified automatically while the remaining 14 finalists were decided through a qualifying competition, featuring 51 teams, from August 2010 to November 2011. This was the last European Championship to employ the 16-team finals format in use since 1996; from Euro 2016 onward, it was expanded to 24 finalists. Euro 2012 was played at eight venues, four in each host country. Five new stadiums were built for the tournament, and the hosts invested heavily in improving infrastructure such as railways and roads at UEFA's request. Euro 2012 set attendance records for the 16-team format, for the highest aggregate attendance (1,440,896) and average per game (46,481). Spain became the first team to win two consecutive European Championships, and also three straight major tournaments (Euro 2008, 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012). Spain had already gained entry to the 2013 Confederations Cup by winning the 2010 World Cup, so runners-up Italy qualified instead. As at Euro 2008 in Austria and Switzerland, both 2012 host nations were eliminated in the group stage.

The Montserrat oriole (Icterus oberi) is a medium-sized black-and-yellow icterid (the same family as many blackbirds, meadowlarks, cowbirds, grackles, and others, including the New World orioles). It inhabits the Centre Hills and South Soufriere Hills Important Bird Areas on the island of Montserrat in the Lesser Antilles of the West Indies, and is the national bird of this British territory. It is threatened by habitat loss, and has been classified by BirdLife International as Critically Endangered, with a current estimated population of between 200 and 800. Much of its habitat was destroyed by deforestation, Hurricane Hugo and the volcanic activity between 1995 and 1997. The oriole once was found in three main areas: the bamboo forest east of Galways Soufrière, the leeward slopes of the Chances Peak mountain and the Centre Hills (especially the Runaway Ghaut area). The diet of the bird consists mainly of insects and fruits. The birds usually lay two spotted eggs. All models indicate that they begin breeding at the age of one year. Most of them were almost wiped out during the volcano eruptions and only about 200 of them are still surviving. The binomial name of this bird commemorates the American naturalist Frederick Albion Ober.

\"Higher\" is a song performed by British-Irish girl group The Saturdays taken from their debut extended play, Headlines!. Written by Ina Wroldsen and co-written & produced by Arnthor Birgisson, the song confirmed to be the EP's second single when it was released on 1 November 2010 by Fascination Records. In preparation for its release, the single was remixed to feature new vocals from American rapper Flo Rida after the rapper's single \"Club Can't Handle Me\" beat the group's previous single \"Missing You\" to number one; it was the second time they had lost the position to Flo Rida. Rochelle Wiseman jokingly said that the group would never get a number one until they collaborated with him. Flo Rida personally offered the collaboration for both his and the group's fans. Critics generally praised the song as the strongest offering from Headlines!, for being infectious, catchy and feisty, although it received negative reception for overproduction. An accompanying music video for the song was shot in Los Angeles at Fox Studios, at the end of August 2010, and features the girls dancing through a New York traffic jam. The single remix of the song premiered on 16 September 2010 through Capital FM, while a new version of the video featuring Flo Rida premiered on 9 October 2010. \"Higher\" was successful, peaking in the top-ten in the Scottish and UK singles charts as well as top-fifteen in Ireland. It also won the 2011 Popjustice £20 Music Prize.

The Conowingo Dam (also Conowingo Hydroelectric Plant, Conowingo Hydroelectric Station) is a large hydroelectric dam in the lower Susquehanna River near the town of Conowingo, Maryland. The medium-height, masonry gravity dam is one of the largest non-federal hydroelectric dams in the U.S. The dam sits about 9.9 miles (16 km) from the river mouth at the Chesapeake Bay, 5 miles (8 km) south of the Pennsylvania border and 45 miles (72 km) northeast of Baltimore, on the border between Cecil and Harford counties. The dam supports a 9,000-acre reservoir, which today covers the original town of Conowingo. During dam construction, the town was moved to its present location about 1-mile (1.6 km) northeast of the dam's eastern end. The rising water also would have covered Conowingo Bridge, the original U.S. Route 1 crossing, so it was demolished in 1927. The Conowingo Reservoir, and the nearby Susquehanna State Park, provide many recreational opportunities.

In the Fine Gael-Labour Party coalition government which took power after the 1973 general election Donegan was appointed as Minister for Defence. In October 1976 Donegan made a controversial speech on an official visit to the opening of new kitchen facilities in an army barracks at Mullingar. He described as a \"thundering disgrace\" President Cearbhall Ó Dálaigh's refusal to sign the Emergency Powers Act, 1976, instead using his powers under Article 26 of the Constitution to refer it to the Supreme Court. The Taoiseach, Liam Cosgrave, refused Donegan's resignation, and instead Ó Dálaigh resigned as President of Ireland. The whole episode badly damaged the government's reputation. In 1976 Donegan became Minister for Lands, and in 1977 he served briefly as Minister for Fisheries. Donegan retired from politics at the 1981 general election, and died in 2000.

The game is played in a format that is the Greek all stars versus the rest of the world all stars. The all star weekend also features an ages 20 and under all star game, called the Hopes or Youth All Star Game. There is also a slam dunk competition and a 3-point shootout competition. Finally, there are also 3-point shootout and slam dunk competitions for the ages 20 and under players. Players from the A1 Division, the A2 Division, and the lower divisions are eligible to compete at the All Star Game weekend festivities. Normally, only players from the top A1 Division are eligible to compete in the senior men's all star game. However, sometimes players from lower divisions can also play in the senior men's all star game, if they are selected on all star day, during the all star weekend festivities, as special participants by the coaches of the game to play in the all star game. Such players however, are not considered to be all-star selections, because they are not officially chosen to be all stars, and because they do not actually play in the top-tier Greek League, for which the actual all star selections are chosen.

Athyrium yokoscense, also known as Hebino-negoza in Japanese, is a species of fern in the family Athyriaceae. These tough plants live primarily in and around mine sites and thrive in soils contaminated with high concentrations of heavy metals, such as zinc, cadmium, lead, and copper. A. yokoscense is indigenous to Japan, Korea, eastern Siberia and northeastern China and has been known for centuries to tolerate phytotoxic mining sites. The predominance and concentration of this fern species at a particular region was used to identify potential mining sites. The primary potential of A. yokoscense is in its phytoremediative ability to accumulate toxic metals from soils contaminated with heavy metals, so it may have some long-term commercial importance. No medicinal or culinary values of this fern species have been studied or confirmed.

The Taxpayers Party of New York State was an American political party active in the state of New York. It was not part of any nationwide party, nor is it affiliated with the U.S. Taxpayers' Party (now known as the Constitution Party), which predates it by 18 years, or the Tax Revolt Party active in Nassau County. The Taxpayers Party of New York was founded by Carl Paladino in 2010, with the help of Rus Thompson, Leonard Roberto, Michael Caputo and Gary Berntsen. It officially gained ballot access on August 10, 2010 and fielded candidates in the New York state elections, 2010. Other than a committee to fill vacancies, the party does not have operations and is currently serving only as an additional ballot line for Republican candidates; it was originally designed to counter the decisions of the Conservative Party of New York State under New York's electoral fusion laws. It originally endorsed candidates the Conservative Party passed up in statewide races; after the September primaries, the losers dropped out the races, and each party has cross-nominated the primary winners as their nominees. The party has not endorsed incumbents in most races. Should Paladino receive 50,000 votes on the line in 2010 and gain permanent ballot access, the party will need to put together an organizational structure. The party's name derives from the motto \"taxed enough already,\" the acronym of which (TEA) forms the basis of the TEA Party movement. Paladino has received significant supported from the Tea Party movement. The party had ceased active campaigning due to Paladino earning the endorsement of the Conservative Party until releasing a last-minute advertisement on Election Day. The now-disbanded Jefferson County chapter of the Independence Party of New York had seen the majority of its leaders switch allegiance to the Taxpayers Party, with the rest supporting the Anti-Prohibition Party of Kristin M. Davis. The party registered 25,820 votes on election night 2010, leaving it well short of the necessary votes to achieve a permanent ballot line. In portions of Western New York, the line drew vote totals on par with the Working Families Party and the Green Party. The party's founders have not indicated whether or not it will pursue ballot lines in future elections. Rus Thompson, Gary Berntsen and Michael Caputo, who helped organized the party line, orchestrated an attempted ballot access campaign for David Bellavia in the New York's 26th congressional district special election, 2011, but because Paladino and Leonard Roberto endorsed Republican nominee Jane Corwin, the organization used the name \"Federalist Party\" for Bellavia's petitions instead of the Taxpayers Party. Its former website is now a Japanese-language placeholder. Paladino endorsed Rob Astorino in the 2014 election; Astorino himself created a similar ballot line, the Stop Common Core Party line, which achieved automatic ballot access with just over 50,000 votes.

Under the presence of the Congregation of the Assumptionists of France, the church has always been called \"the French church.\" In 1938 the construction of a new church, designed as a \"memorial church\" to French soldiers and Serbs who fought on the front of Thessaloniki began. Since World War II and its aftermath, the building remained paralyzed for more than 40 years and, meanwhile, the church was initially used as headquarters of the Belgrade Radio and then as a center of drugs.

The Battle of Halidzor (Armenian: Հալիձորի ճակատամարտ) was a military conflict that took place in the southern region of Armenia, Syunik, modern city of Kapan.The battle is considered to be as one of the most successful Armenian military battles against the Ottoman Empire, as the battle started the national liberation movements, that would have lasted for the next two centuries. The Armenians were besieged in the fortress of Halidzor. David Bek, Mkhitar Sparapet and Ter Avetis were the commanders of the Armenians. After 7 days under being besieged, the Armenians were weary and short on food. David Bek organized a fierce suicidal downhill charge as last resort and the charge terrified the Ottoman Soldiers. Fearing that the Armenians had many soldiers, the Ottoman Army began to flee. The heavly forested terrain hindered their escape and the Ottoman soldiers were slaughtered as a huge panic broke out. The charge was successful counter-attack, as a result the Turks lost around 12,000 soldiers, had thousands of wounded, and left approximately 150 Turkish banners behind. The huge Ottoman Army was spread out all over the region and confusion and panic raged on through the whole army

Melbourne's original State Theatre was built in 1929 to seat 3,371 patrons and is situated on Flinders Street. It was conceived as an \"atmospheric auditorium\", a novelty in Melbourne at the time. Another notable feature was the dual-console Wurlitzer organ, the first to be built \"west of Chicago\", and since relocated to the Moorabbin Town Hall in 1967. The State Theatre was renamed the Forum in 1963. The current State Theatre opened in 1984 and is part of the Arts Centre located by the Yarra River and St Kilda Road, the city's main thoroughfare. The State Theatre is a venue for ballet, opera and other productions (but not plays, which are performed in The Playhouse and elsewhere). Like the other performance venues within the Arts Centre, the State Theatre is underground. The stage is one of the largest in the world. Companies performing opera in the State Theatre include Opera Australia (which has presented seven or eight operas each season). The first opera in the State Theatre was the new John Copley production of Don Carlos, (Verdi) in 1984 by the Victoria State Opera.

3174 Alcock, provisional designation 1984 UV, is a carbonaceous Themistian asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, approximately 19 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by American astronomer Edward Bowell at Lowell's U.S. Anderson Mesa Station in Flagstaff, Arizona, on 26 October 1984. The dark C-type asteroid is a member of the Themis family, a dynamical family of outer-belt asteroids with nearly coplanar ecliptical orbits. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.6–3.7 AU once every 5 years and 7 months (2,037 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.17 and an inclination by 2° to the plane of the ecliptic. The first used precovery was taken at Crimea–Nauchnij in 1973, extending the asteroid's observation arc by 11 years prior to its discovery. However, the first images were already taken at the U.S. Goethe Link Observatory in 1962. A rotational light-curve of this asteroid was obtained from photometric observations made by French astronomer René Roy in February 2008. The light-curve gave a rotation period of 7.05±0.01 hours with a brightness variation of 0.65 in magnitude (U=3-). According to the spaced-based survey carried out by the Japanese Akari satellite, the asteroid measures 18.66 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.102, while the Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes an albedo of 0.08 and calculates a diameter of 18.71 kilometers. The minor planet was named by the discoverer for prolific British amateur astronomer George Alcock (1912–2000), who visually discovered 5 comets and 4 novae. Naming citation was published on 5 November 1987 (M.P.C. 12458).

Ryan plays his club hurling and football for Naomh Mearnóg and his preferred position is centre back, although he is known to have played many positions for Dublin. He made his senior debut for Dublin on 4 June 1999. He made the decision to concentrate solely on Gaelic football in 2004, which dealt a blow to the then hurling manager Humphrey Kelleher. This was a turnaround from his original decision in 2001, to only concentrate on football just for that year. In 2009 he made the decision to switch back to hurling and join Anthony Daly's team after giving it much consideration. Ryan is a graduate of Business Studies (2001) in Dublin City University and is a teacher by profession. Ryan has an illustrious ancestry in the Gaelic Athletic Association as his father, Jack Ryan, won an All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship medal with Tipperary in 1971.

The company was originally chartered in South Carolina as the Columbia and Hamburg Railroad. But its name was changed to Columbia and Augusta Railroad in December 1863 before any track was laid on the route, as the importance of Hamburg, South Carolina, as an economic center was already on the decline. In 1869, it was merged with the Charlotte and South Carolina Railroad to form the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad.

Montes Archimedes is a mountain range on the Moon. It is named after the crater Archimedes that lies to the north, which in turn has an eponym of the Greek mathematician Archimedes. This group of mountains is located on a plateau in the eastern part of the Mare Imbrium, a lunar mare in the northwest quadrant of the Moon's near side. They are bounded on the eastern side by the Palus Putredinis, a small mare, and to the north by Archimedes. Farther to the south and east lies the impressive Montes Apenninus, a long mountain range. The selenographic coordinates of this range is 25.3° N, 4.6° W. The peaks of Montes Archimedes occupy an area with a maximum diameter of 163 km, although the most rugged portion of the terrain is concentrated within the central 70 km. The remainder of the peaks are scattered across the plateau, with no particular structure or pattern. Some of the peaks in this range achieve heights of up to 2.0 km, much less than those in the Montes Apenninus, for example, and none have received specific designations.
