Q2936359 Caniapiscau is a vast unorganized territory in the Côte-Nord region of Quebec, Canada, part of Caniapiscau Regional County Municipality.The territory is home to the huge Caniapiscau Reservoir, the largest body of water in Quebec. The reservoir was named after Lake Caniapiscau that was flooded in 1981 during the formation of the reservoir. The name comes from the Cree or Innu term kaniapiskau or kaneapiskak which means "rocky point" or "place where there is a rocky point". Albert Peter Low had noted in 1895 that "a high rocky headland jutts into the lake." He probably referred to the northwest facing peninsula that gives the reservoir the shape of an arc as we know it now.In the 19th century, Lake Caniapiscau was frequented by hunters and fur traders. In 1834, the Hudson's Bay Company opened there an outpost to link its facilities in the James Bay region with those of Ungava Bay. The Kaniapiskau Post closed its doors in 1870.

Q1252773 GNU Emacs is the most popular and most ported Emacs text editor. It was created by GNU Project founder Richard Stallman. In common with other varieties of Emacs, GNU Emacs is extensible using a Turing complete programming language. GNU Emacs has been called "the most powerful text editor available today". With proper support from the underlying system, GNU Emacs is able to display files in multiple character sets, and has been able to simultaneously display most human languages since at least 1999. Throughout its history, GNU Emacs has been a central component of the GNU project, and a flagship of the free software movement. GNU Emacs is sometimes abbreviated as GNUMACS, especially to differentiate it from other EMACS variants. The tag line for GNU Emacs is "the extensible self-documenting text editor".
Q6669134 Lomandra longifolia, commonly known as spiny-head mat-rush, spiky-headed mat-rush or basket grass, is a perennial, rhizomatous herb found throughout eastern Australia. The leaves are 40 cm to 80 cm long, and generally have a leaf of about 8 mm to 12 mm wide. It grows in a variety of soil types and is frost, heat and drought tolerant. Labillardiere described Lomandra longifolia from a specimen collected in Tasmania.This strappy leaf plant is often used on roadside plantings in Australia, New Zealand, Spain, and the USA, due to its high level of drought tolerance. The breeding of more compact finer leaf forms has made Lomandra longifolia popular as an evergreen grass-like plant in home plantings. Tanika, Lomandra longifolia 'LM300', also known as breeze grass in the USA, was the first fine leaf type. It still has the finest leaf of any Lomandra longifolia, with a width of 3 mm. In temperatures down to −7 degrees Celsius these plants stay evergreen, and this variety has been recorded to live in the USA at a number of sites including Alabama, at −10 degrees Celsius.Indigenous Australians ground the seeds for use in damper, and the long, flat, fibrous leaves were used for weaving. The base of the leaves contains water, and was chewed by those in danger of dehydration.L. longifolia is closely related to L. hystrix, the main differences being that the leaf of L. hystrix has teeth on each side of the longer main end point, whereas that of L. longifolia has side teeth equal if not longer than the central one (a W shape).

Q5059 Aoraki / Mount Cook is the highest mountain in New Zealand. Its height since 2014 is listed as 3,724 metres (12,218 feet), down from 3,764 m (12,349 ft) before December 1991, due to a rockslide and subsequent erosion. It lies in the Southern Alps, the mountain range which runs the length of the South Island. A popular tourist destination, it is also a favourite challenge for mountain climbers. Aoraki / Mount Cook consists of three summits, from South to North the Low Peak (3,593 m or 11,788 ft), Middle Peak (3,717 m or 12,195 ft) and High Peak. The summits lie slightly south and east of the main divide of the Southern Alps, with the Tasman Glacier to the east and the Hooker Glacier to the southwest.There was a large rock fall in 1991 that turned the summit into a knife-edge ridge and reduced the height of the mountain by an estimated 10 m or so at that time. Aoraki / Mount Cook was measured in 2013 to be 3724 m, which is 30 m down from its pre-1991 rock-fall measurement.

Q333835 Mare Ingenii ("sea of cleverness") is one of the few lunar mare features on the far side of the Moon. The mare sits in the Ingenii basin, which is of the Pre-Nectarian epoch, which lies in turn in the outer part of the older and much larger South Pole–Aitken basin. The mare material located in Ingenii and the surrounding craters is of the Upper Imbrian epoch. The dark circular feature which dominates this mare is the crater Thomson (112 km diameter), with the overflow from Ingenii/Thomson directly to the east. Mare Ingenii is incompletely and thinly covered over much of its expanse with mare lava sheets. The light grey crater to the south of Mare Ingenii is Obruchev.The mare has swirling patterns of bright material, similar to Reiner Gamma and to patterns within Mare Marginis, which are not associated with topographic or volcanic features. The swirls are associated with magnetic fields.Prior to formal naming in 1961 by the IAU, the crater was known as Basin XIV.Mare Ingenii is located at the antipode of the Mare Imbrium impact basin. The furrowed crater walls of the basin (and possibly those of Van de Graaff crater) may have been caused by focused seismic waves resulting from the Imbrium impact.The mare contains the second instance of a lunar pit on the moon and one of several outside the Earth to date.

Q2820067 Aaron Kosminski (born Aron Mordke Kozmiński; 11 September 1865 – 24 March 1919) was a Polish barber and suspect in the Jack the Ripper case.Kosminski was a Polish Jew who emigrated from Congress Poland to England in the 1880s. He worked as a hairdresser in Whitechapel in the East End of London, where a series of murders ascribed to an unidentified figure nicknamed "Jack the Ripper" were committed in 1888. From 1891, he was institutionalised in an insane asylum.Police officials from the time of the murders named one of their suspects as "Kosminski" (the forename was not given), and described him as a Polish Jew in an insane asylum. Almost a century after the final murder, the suspect "Kosminski" was identified as Aaron Kosminski; but there was little if any evidence to connect Aaron Kosminski with the same Kosminski who was suspected of the murders and their dates of death are different. Possibly, Kosminski was confused with another Polish Jew of the same age named Aaron or David Cohen (real name possibly Nathan Kaminsky), who was a violent patient at the same asylum.In September 2014, author Russell Edwards claimed to have proved Kosminski's guilt using mitochondrial DNA evidence from a shawl he believed to have been left at a murder scene. A peer-reviewed article on the DNA analysis was published in the Journal of Forensic Sciences in 2019.

Q7629533 Stylidium edentatum is a dicotyledonous plant that belongs to the genus Stylidium (family Stylidiaceae). It is an annual plant that grows around 6 cm tall. The elliptical leaves form a basal rosettes around the stem. The leaves are around 0.3-0.8 mm long with recurved margins. Inflorescences are produced on solitary scapes and bear flowers that are white with rose-coloured markings at the base of the corolla lobes and two tooth-shaped throat appendages present. S. edentatum was a previously overlooked species that is related to and appears similar to S. calcaratum and S. ecorne. Allen Lowrie and Sherwin Carlquist described this species in 1989 and argued that if S. ecorne is considered distinct from S. calcaratum, then certainly S. edentatum warrants placement at the species level. It differs from S. calcaratum and S. ecorne by the long petioles on its recurved leaves, and the cuneate, obtuse, and unlobed posterior corolla lobes. They also have a distinctive lateral toothlike appendage at the base of each posterior corolla lobe. S. edentatum is endemic to southwestern Western Australia.

Q6978076 The National Resistance Front of São Tomé and Príncipe (FRNSTP) was a political party founded in 1981 by São Toméan exiles who opposed the socialist policies of the single party Movement for the Liberation of São Tomé and Príncipe (MLSTP) government, and sought its overthrow.Based in Gabon under the leadership of Carlos da Graça, the movement was expelled from the country in 1986 as relations between Gabon and São Tomé improved. Carlos da Graça ceased to be a member and remained in Gabon, before returning to São Tomé and becoming foreign minister. The major part of the FRNSTP moved to Lisbon, Portugal, formed a coalition with the Independent Democratic Union of São Tomé and Príncipe (UDISTP), and agreed to seek political changes by non-violent means. A small faction of the FRNSTP, led by Monso dos Santos, refused to give up the idea of armed struggle as a means of overthrowing the São Tomé regime and moved to Cameroon, taking the name of National Resistance Front of São Tomé and Príncipe-Renewal (FRNSTP-R).

Q31143 The Mitsubishi Pajero iO is a mini sport utility vehicle produced by the Japanese manufacturer Mitsubishi between 1999 (since June 15, 1998, in three-door form, and August 24, 1998, as a five-door) and 2007. The "iO" name is derived from the Italian for "I" which, according to Mitsubishi, "generates an image of being easy to get to know, easy to drive, and of being one's very own Pajero".It was exported as the Montero iO, and to Europe as the Pajero Pinin, Shogun Pinin or simply Pinin to honour Pininfarina, which built the local market versions of the car at their factory near Turin, Italy. It was also produced in Brazil as the Pajero TR4 from 2002 to 2015 under license. The name was changed after imported versions were referred to as "1.0" instead of "iO", which could lead to confusion about the engine sizes. The Brazilian TR4 had been since July 2007 the Mitsubishi's first four-wheel drive flexible-fuel vehicle, running on gasoline, ethanol or a combination of the two.The car is also produced in China by Changfeng Automobile as the Changfeng Liebao Feiteng CFA 6400.

Q5332727 Echo Lawn Estate, also known as Stonegate after The Great War, is a historic estate located at Balmville in Orange County, New York. The main house was built about 1860 and is a two-story brick dwelling in the Second Empire style. It features sweeping concave mansard-type roofs. Also on the property is a cluster of mid-19th-century service buildings, an early 20th-century formal garden, and a substantial set of Arts and Crafts inspired gateposts and stone walls.It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.The Echo Lawn Estate remains an important example of mid-nineteenth-century Hudson River Valley estate design, reflecting as it does the Romantic sentiments of the era in its Picturesque-inspired architectural and landscape elements, as well as later changes portraying 20th century design trends. The estate's architectural centerpiece is a large brick masonry dwelling reflecting an early interpretation of the Second Empire style, likely built c. 1848 and distinguished by a graceful bell-cast mansard roof punctuated by dormers and chimneys.This house illustrates the growing influence of the Second Empire style in American domestic architecture during this period; among the earliest known examples in the United States was the Colbert House on Grand Street in nearby Newburgh, authored by Calvert Vex in association with his partner and mentor E. G. Downing. Van included the Colbert house as Design No. 22 in his 1857 book Villas & Cottages, which also included another Second Empire-style freestanding house, Design No. 25, authored in association with former partner Frederick C. Withers, helping to popularize a style which flourished in the post-Civil War period.In addition to the Second Empire-style main dwelling, the estate retains a complement of period service buildings, all rendered in frame construction, all reflecting the architectural tenets of the nationally significant Picturesque movement largely popularized in this region through the exertions of Newburgh native and author A. J. Downing; his sometime collaborator the New York City architect A.J. Davis; and former Downing associates Vaux and Withers. These include a carriage barn that is distinguished by board-and-batten sheathing, an intersecting gable trimmed with Gothic Revival-style bargeboard, and a cupola or vent embellished by quatrefoil motifs; a ​1 1⁄2-story gatehouse sheathed in horizontal siding; a board-and-batten sheathed stable with gable embellished with bargeboard; and a frame ice-house with pitched roof, the eaves of which are enlivened by exposed purlins, a typical Picturesque device. There is likewise an original Tutton greenhouse that was restored in 1999. Adding cohesion to these resources is the original carriage road that connects Stonegate Drive with the outbuildings and main dwelling, as well as elements of the original Picturesque-inspired landscape treatments. Only a portion of the carriage mule—which continued further to the south where it again connected with the main road— however survives.Likewise dating to the early 20th century period, hut nevertheless an integral and significant contributing element of the estate, are the highly artistic Arts & Crafts-inspired gates, which are rendered in stone and brick and which lead from the main road towards the gatehouse and service building complex. These terminate dry-laid rubble stone walls that align this area of the estate. The north side of the former estate also contains a Japanese pond and garden, which like the Italian garden represent subsequent historic landscape developments.Echo Lawn was owned during portions of the 19th century by the Johues and Knowlton families, the latter family being responsible for the installation in the early 20th century of the flower garden in front of the main dwelling, currently under restoration and reflecting the Italian garden style in its rigid symmetry and formality.Natalie Knowlton Blair (born 1887), an important early collector of American decorative arts and considerable contributor to the collections of the American Wing of the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, lived on tins estate during her youth, and the main house and garden were depicted by the American landscape painter Gifford Beal (1879–1956), whose family owned an adjacent property and whose uncle Thaddeus Beal bought Echo Lawn in 1908. Both Gifford Beal and his brother Reynolds Beal, respected painters on the contemporary American scene, captured views of the Hudson River from the estate, and painted in a studio attached to the carriage barn.Echo Lawn, among the last substantially intact 19th-century estates in the Balrnville area, is situated directly across from Morningside, a Picturesque Gothic Revival-style house designed for Frederick Derning by E. C. Withers and built in 1859; additional historic estates adjacent to it include the Willellyn estate once owned by William Beal, and the former J. W. Thomas estate. Echo Lawn was historically situated immediately west of the Algonac estate, home of the Delano family, and long-since lost and developed.
