James Webb Throckmorton (February 1, 1825 – April 21, 1894) was an American politician who served as the 12th Governor of Texas from 1866 to 1867 during the early days of Reconstruction. He was a United States Congressman from Texas from 1875 to 1879 and again from 1883 to 1889. Following the outbreak of the Mexican-American War, he joined the 1st Texas Volunteers as a private in February 1847. A few months later, he was assigned as an assistant surgeon to the Texas Rangers, until receiving a medical discharge in June of that year. During the Texas secession convention in 1861, he was one of only eight delegates to vote against secession from the United States. Despite this, he served in the Confederate Army as a captain of Company K, 6th Texas Cavalry Regiment until resigning for poor health in 1863. Throckmorton won the gubernatorial election of June 25, 1866, at the same time the new constitution was approved, against Elisha M. Pease. During his term in the governor's office, Throckmorton's lenient attitude toward former Confederates and his attitude toward civil rights conflicted with the Reconstruction politics of the Radical Republicans in Congress. He angered the local military commander, Major General Charles Griffin, who persuaded his superior, Philip H. Sheridan, to remove Throckmorton from office and replace him with an appointed Republican and Unionist, Elisha M. Pease. As the Radical Republicans influence began to wane in the mid-1870s, Throckmorton was elected to Congress representing Texas's 3rd Congressional District. He later served the 5th District in the 1880s. Throckmorton died at age 69 from a fall, having become frail due to kidney disease. | Agent | Politician | Governor |

Notropis cahabae (Cahaba shiner) is a rare species of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae. It is endemic to Alabama in the United States, where it is limited to the Cahaba River. It is a federally listed endangered species of the United States. This fish was first described in 1989. It is similar to its close relative, the Mimic Shiner (Notropis volucellus). The Cahaba Shiner is about 2.5 inches long (6.35 centimeters). It is silver in color with a dark lateral stripe and a peach-colored lateral stripe above. This fish has been collected from about 76 miles of the Cahaba River, but as of the early 1990s its range had been reduced to about 60 miles of the river. Most individuals of the species are located in a 15-mile stretch of the waterway. It may have once occurred in the Coosa River, but if so, it has been extirpated from there. The reduction in range has been caused by the degradation of water quality in the river system, the result of urbanization and sedimentation. | Species | Animal | Fish |

He has been a member of the Folketing (Danish parliament) since 1994. He is a Knight of the Dannebrog.

Domonique Ramirez is an American beauty pageant titleholder from Texas; she was the winner of Miss San Antonio 2010. She temporarily lost her title after Miss San Antonio pageant officials complained that Ramirez had gained weight. Ramirez was allegedly told to \"get off the tacos\". Ramirez proceeded to sue pageant officials for stripping her of her title and crown. On March 23, 2011, Ramirez won a lawsuit against the pageant officials which saw her getting her crown and title back. Ramirez will now participate in the Miss Texas final for Miss America. The jury deliberated for 12 hours over a two-day period before coming to a unanimous verdict. After the positive verdict for Ramirez, pageant director Linda Woods said \"It's a sad day for us. We think the judge and jury made a huge mistake. It's an injustice for the city of San Antonio, it allows young kids to breach contracts and violate authority without any consequences ... It sends the wrong message.\" Pageant officials said it wasn't the fact that Domonique Ramirez had gained weight that was at issue. Rather they claimed that Ramirez was 'unreliable, chronically showing up late or skipping events such as grocery store openings to go to paid appearances, and violated her contract in ways ranging from not writing thank-you notes to blowing off a physical fitness program and vocal lessons.' Woods also stated that \"She (Ramirez) was doing a photo shoot and asked to wear her wardrobe from the competition, but it did not fit her. I told her we need to get you on an exercise program. We need to get ready to compete for Miss Texas, just like any elite athlete.\" Ramirez had earlier in February failed to gain a temporary respite from being stripped of her crown. The title went to the first runner-up, Ashley Dixon, instead, who continued as Miss San Antonio 2010 the day Ramirez won her lawsuit. The trial verdict was met with applause inside the courtroom. On Ashley Dixon, Ramirez said \"I don't plan on taking the crown away from Ashley. I'm hoping that we'll be able to share and she can go to Miss Texas as well as Miss Bexar County, and we can both share the crown,\". | Agent | Person | BeautyQueen |

The 2015 Valencian parliamentary election was held on Sunday, 24 May 2015, to elect the 9th democratically-elected Valencian Courts, the regional legislature of the Spanish autonomous community of Valencia. All 99 seats in the Courts were up for election. The election was held simultaneously with regional elections in 12 other autonomous communities and municipal elections in all of Spain. While incumbent President Alberto Fabra's People's Party (PPCV) remained as the most voted party, it lost 24 seats and 22 percentage points to its 2011 result, and the absolute majority it had held since 1999. This result was attributed to the party's management of the economic crisis, as well as the various corruption scandals that affected the PP throughout the entire 2011–2015 period, some of which were unveiled just weeks before the election. The Socialist Party of the Valencian Country (PSPV–PSOE) came second, with 23 seats, but lost 10 to the already negative result of 2011 and obtaining the worst result of its history. Three other parties achieved representation, of which two were new: Compromís, with 19 seats, Podemos and C's. EUPV, the main party in a coalition of other forces known as Acord Ciutadà (Valencian for \"Citizen Agreement\"), did not reach the 5% required threshold to achieve representation and therefore lost all of its seats in the Courts. Turnout was, at 69.6%, the lowest since 1999. Alberto Fabra announced he would retire from his party's leadership in the region after a PSPV–Compromís coalition with Podemos' support expelled the PP from the regional government after 20 years in power. As a result, Ximo Puig from the PSPV–PSOE was elected as new regional President. | Event | SocietalEvent | Election |

Aspren or Asprenas (Italian: Sant'Asprenato, Sant'Aspreno, Sant'Aspremo) was a 1st-century Christian saint and venerated as the first Bishop of Naples. Aspren lived at the end of the 1st century and in the early 2nd century, as confirmed by archaeological studies regarding the early Neapolitan Church as well as the fact that \"Aspren\" was a common name during the days of the Roman Republic and the early years of the Roman Empire and afterwards fell into disuse. The Marble Calendar of Naples (Calendario Marmoreo di Napoli) attests to Aspren's existence and the fact that he lived during the reigns of Trajan and Hadrian; Aspren's episcopate is stated as lasting twenty-three years. Nothing is known of his life, but an ancient legend holds that Saint Peter, on his way to Rome, stopped at Naples and converted an old woman (identified as Candida the Elder) after he cured her of an illness. Numerous other converts to Christianity were made during this time in Naples, including Aspren, who was converted either by Peter or Candida herself and who had also been ill. The legend holds that Peter consecrated Aspren as bishop of Naples and asked him to construct the oratory of Santa Maria del Principio, which would form the basis for the basilica of Santa Restituta; San Pietro ad Aram was also said to have been built during this time. | Agent | Cleric | Saint |

He Long (simplified Chinese: 贺龙; traditional Chinese: 賀龍; pinyin: Hè Lóng; Wade–Giles: Ho Lung; March 22, 1896 – June 8, 1969) was a Chinese military leader. He was from a poor rural family of a minority ethnic group in Hunan, and his family was not able to provide him with any formal education.

After escaping, he organized a soviet in rural Hunan (and later Guizhou), but was forced to abandon his bases when pressured by Chiang's Encirclement Campaigns. He joined the Long March in 1935, over a year after forces associated with Mao Zedong and Zhu De were forced to do so. He met with forces led by Zhang Guotao, but he disagreed with Zhang about the strategy of the Red Army and led his forces to join and support Mao. After settling and establishing a headquarters in Shaanxi, He led guerrilla forces in Northwest China in both the Chinese Civil War and the Second Sino-Japanese War, and was generally successful in expanding areas of Communist control.

Caricom Airways, which stands for Caribbean Commuter Airways, is a regional airline from the Caribbean, with the headquarters of the company at Paramaribo, Suriname. From the down-town Zorg en Hoop Airport in Suriname, Caricom Airways flies mainly charter flights to various destinations in the interior of Suriname, the Caribbean and Northern Brazil. Caricom Airways still has plans for regular flights to regional destinations. The airline has temporarily set those plans aside for cooperation with Surinam Airways (SLM = Surinaamse Luchtvaart Maatschappij). As its feeder commuter airline Caricom Airways will carry out regularly scheduled flights to the hinterland of Suriname for SLM. This National airline, Surinam Airways (SLM), in collaboration with Caricom Airways, will reintroduce domestic service to various destinations in Suriname using three aircraft belonging to Caricom Airways: two Islanders and a Cessna 206. Operational control will remain in the hands of Caricom Airways. SLM will periodically perform quality checks on the aircraft and audit Caricom Airways. Passengers will eventually be able to book these domestic flights through SLM's worldwide booking, which the airline hopes will spur the tourism industry. This joint venture also includes METS Tours, a subsidiary of Surinam Airways. Caricom Airways will retain its identity but has joined SLM's quality program and will fly with their colours. Caricom Airways was earlier planning to add four 50 seat turboprops to its fleet of smaller Islander, Cessna and Piper aircraft to launch regional scheduled flights. The airline had not yet finalized its flight schedule, but the plan was to serve Boa Vista International Airport (BVB), Bridgetown Grantley Adams International Airport (BGI), Georgetown Cheddi Jagan International Airport (GEO) and St. Lucia Hewanorra International Airport (UVF) from Paramaribo Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport (PBM). It had previously planned to operate scheduled flights to several Eastern Caribbean islands from its Caribbean hub at \"Saint Lucia\" but has not yet received the necessary approvals. | Agent | Company | Airline |

The All-Ireland Senior B Hurling Championship was an annual hurling competition organised by the Gaelic Athletic Association between 1974 and 2004 for the so-called 'weaker' hurling teams in Ireland. The series of games began every year immediately after the completion of the National Hurling League with the All-Ireland final being played in June or July, initially in Croke Park, Dublin but later in provincial venues around the country and in Britain. The championship was open to all hurling teams who did not take part in the proper All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship. It was a knock-out competition whereby once a team lost they were eliminated from the championship. The title was won by 11 different teams, 6 of which won the title more than once. The all-time record-holders are London, who won the competition 5 times. The history of the championship was bookended by victories for Kildare, winners of the first title in 1974 and the last in 2004. | Agent | SportsLeague | SoccerLeague |
Fomes fomentarius (commonly known as the tinder fungus, false tinder fungus, hoof fungus, tinder conk, tinder polypore or ice man fungus) is a species of fungal plant pathogen found in Europe, Asia, Africa and North America. The species produces very large polypore fruit bodies which are shaped like a horse's hoof and vary in colour from a silvery grey to almost black, though they are normally brown. It grows on the side of various species of tree, which it infects through broken bark, causing rot. The species typically continues to live on trees long after they have died, changing from a parasite to a decomposer. Though inedible, F. fomentarius has traditionally seen use as the main ingredient of amadou, a material used primarily as tinder, but also used to make clothing and other items. The 5,000-year-old Ötzi the Iceman carried four pieces of F. fomentarius, concluded to be for use as tinder. It also has medicinal and other uses. The species is both a pest and useful in timber production. | Species | Eukaryote | Fungus |
