Lake Shannon is a long, narrow reservoir on the Baker River in Skagit County in the U.S. state of Washington. Formed in the 1920s by the construction of an arch dam just above the river's mouth, the lake is approximately 7.5 miles (12 km) long and averages 0.6 miles (1 km) wide at full extent. Lake Shannon is part of a cascade of two reservoirs, the Baker River Hydroelectric Project, built on the lower half of the Baker River by Puget Sound Energy for generating hydroelectricity. The reservoir is located just outside the western boundary of North Cascades National Park and just north of Concrete. Historically Lake Shannon did not exist and Baker Lake was smaller, and the Baker River area was used primarily for fur trapping, logging, and concrete making. The formation of the lake led to problems with migrating salmon in the Baker River, which would often exceed 20,000 annually. A fish passage system was begun in the 1950s and completed in 1959 after the construction of Upper Baker Dam, the uppermost Baker River reservoir. The lake has an abundant population of kokanee salmon, the by-product of salmon spawning in lake tributaries. Fishing, boating and water skiing are popular activities on the lake, which partially lies in the Mount Baker National Forest. | Body Of Water |

The piebald madtom (Noturus gladiator) is a species of madtom catfish that is found in seven river systems in the Tennessee and Mississippi coastal tributaries. The most common systems N. gladiator is found in are, the Hatchie River, Obion River, and Wolf River. This species is very susceptible to environmental changes including flow regimes, siltation in nesting sites, and poor environmental quality. The Noturus catfish reproduces from February to September and females reach sexual maturity in only one year. Current management strategies for this recently discovered species haven’t been completely developed yet, but could be comparative to the management of other madtom species. Siltation in the southern portions of the rivers, inhabited by Noturus gladiator that comes from the northern aspects of the waterways is causing stress on the reproductive success due to nest suffocation. There are records as close as twenty years ago showing the species inhabiting multiple other rivers around the areas it currently inhabits. This could be a sign that the species is in a decline. There should be population surveys done on the existing habitat and water quality surveys done in the inhabited areas as well as the uninhabited neighboring areas to see what the limiting pollutant might be in the water causing habitats to shrink. The area that this species inhabits needs to be managed in a way that could see a resurgence in gladiators numbers. | Animal |
Geist (early working title: Fear, stylized as geist) is an action game for the Nintendo GameCube video game console, released on August 15, 2005, in North America, on October 7, 2005, in Europe, and on November 3, 2005, in Australia.

Lloyd Campbell-McBride (born 27 March 1982 in Australia) is a former rugby union player for Glasgow Warriors at the Loosehead Prop position. He was signed by Glasgow Warriors by coach Hugh Campbell on a short term deal lasting for four months. This was a short term deal to cover injury to Glasgow's Ben Prescott. He was signed from Queensland Reds and registered for Glasgow's Heineken Cup squad that year. The prop was Welsh-qualified. Previously Campbell-McBride played his club rugby in Australia with Easts. While he was with the Warriors he was involved in training the amateur club Ayr RFC in scrummaging. Unfortunately the recurrence of a sternum injury meant that Campbell-McBride did not play for the Warriors. This was unfortunate both for the player and the club; it happened just before Glasgow's Heineken Cup trip to Bourgoin, France. The Warriors had only 25 players fit for the European match - and this included the academy players John Barclay and Stuart Corsar, who were named in the 23. As a result of this injury Campbell-McBride's short-term contract wasn't extended and he returned to Australia to play again with the Queensland Country side East Coast Aces. He then moved to Easts. | Athlete |

2001 Mars Odyssey is a robotic spacecraft orbiting the planet Mars. The project was developed by NASA, and contracted out to Lockheed Martin, with an expected cost for the entire mission of US$297 million. Its mission is to use spectrometers and a thermal imager to detect evidence of past or present water and ice, as well as study the planet's geology and radiation environment. It is hoped that the data Odyssey obtains will help answer the question of whether life has ever existed on Mars and create a risk-assessment of the radiation future astronauts on Mars might experience. It also acts as a relay for communications between the Mars Exploration Rovers, Mars Science Laboratory, and previously the Phoenix lander to Earth. The mission was named as a tribute to Arthur C. Clarke, evoking the name of 2001: A Space Odyssey. Odyssey was launched April 7, 2001 on a Delta II rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, and reached Mars orbit on October 24, 2001, at 02:30 UTC (October 23, 19:30 PDT, 22:30 EDT). It is currently in a polar orbit around Mars with an altitude of about 3,800 km or 2,400 miles. By December 15, 2010 it broke the record for longest serving spacecraft at Mars, with 3,340 days of operation, claiming the title from NASA's Mars Global Surveyor.It currently holds the record for the longest-surviving continually active spacecraft in orbit around a planet other than Earth, ahead of the Pioneer Venus Orbiter, at 15 years, 3 months and 14 days. | Satellite |

Wuyts started his career with Anderlecht where he joined the first team at 19 years of age, playing alongside Luc Nilis and Franky Vercauteren. His first match came against Bayern Munich in the 1986–87 European Cup when he was subbed in after 58 minutes to replace Pier Janssen. Later that season he also played a few minutes in a league match. The season thereafter was supposed to be his breakthrough, however he did not play a single minute. He remained with Anderlecht however and received more playing opportunities in his third season, starting 5 times and coming on from the bench 11 times. That season he also scored his first and only goal for the team. Following that season he moved to KRC Mechelen for the 1989-1990 season where he became part of the standard lineup and scored 5 goals. As Mechelen relegated, he moved to Charleroi where again he was a regular under Georges Heylens. When Heylens was replaced with Robert Waseige in 1992, Wuyts often ended up on the bench, causing him to move to RWDM in 1993. At RWDM he stayed three seasons until 1996 before moving to Sint-Truiden where he played two seasons before moving to Mouscron, his last team in the First Division. He then joined Second Division team La Louvière in 2000 and immediately helped them to achieve promotion in their first season. He remained in the Second Division however as he rejoined RWDM where he was mostly an unused sub and witnessed the team also achieving promotion in 2001. He stayed one more season with the team at the highest level before retiring. However two seasons later when he was coaching Tournai in the Belgian Fourth Division, he played one more match to help out his team. Following a long career as a player with several teams in Belgium, Wuyts was less successful as a manager, managing mainly in the lower divisions. In 2008 he was appointed head coach at Oud-Heverlee Leuven in the Belgian Second Division, however following bad results he was sacked in March 2009 and has not managed in the top levels since. | Sports Manager |

Kyo Sohma (草摩 夾 Sōma Kyo) is a character in the manga and anime series Fruits Basket by Natsuki Takaya. He transforms into an orange cat whenever he is hugged by a person of the opposite gender or when his body comes under a great deal of stress. This animal is not in the Chinese zodiac, but legend says would have been if it had not been tricked by the Rat into missing the induction feast. Also, this could be and probably is why he and Yuki (the Rat) do not get along very well. As part of his curse, Kyo transforms into a \"monster\", resembling a reptilian creature, whenever his Juzu beads bracelet are taken off. Kyo is usually short-tempered, impulsive, and rude, but that is only one side to this complex character. He doesn't like to show his feelings and is very protective of those he cares for. He is also sometimes called \"Kyon Kyon\" (by classmates in episode three of the anime, which makes him angry) (Shigure Sohma and Ayame Sohma enjoy teasing him.) He also appears to have a strong dislike for leeks, the smell and taste make him feel sick. | Comics Character |

\"Father Christmas\" is a 1977 single by the English group, The Kinks. It tells of a department store Father Christmas who is beaten up by a gang of poor kids who tell him to give them money instead of toys, as toys are impractical; and asks that the toys be given \"to the little rich boys.\" At one point, a child asks the narrator to give his/her father a job for Christmas—or, if he must deliver a toy, a machine gun. The song has been covered a number of times by bands including the Gigolo Aunts, Green Day, Man Overboard, Bad Religion, Warrant, Lit, Bowling For Soup, Save Ferris, Smash Mouth, Cary Brothers, Action Action, Everything, Deer Tick, OK Go, and the Clay Pigeons.

The Socialist Party of Latvia (Latvian: Latvijas Sociālistiskā partija, LSP, Russian: Социалистическая партия Латвии) was formed in 1994 as a successor party to the Communist Party of Latvia, which was banned in 1991. In essence, the party is communist; according to the programme of the party, the LSP was founded as an organization upholding socialist ideas after the 1991 events that the party describes as a 'counter-revolutionary bourgeois-nationalist coup'. The current acting president of the party is Vladimirs Frolovs. Between 1999 and 2015, the position was held by Alfrēds Rubiks, once mayor of Riga and later leader of the unionist movement and head of the Latvian Communist Party (CPSU platform). He was imprisoned for six years in 1991 on charges of participating in a coup d'état against the Latvian authorities in August 1991. He is not one of the party's members in the Saeima (Latvian Parliament) since he is not allowed to contest elections. However, his sons Artūrs Rubiks and Raimonds Rubiks are members of the Saeima representing the Socialist Party, elected on a joint list with Harmony. The LSP is more popular among the Russian-speaking population of Latvia. It places a high priority on issues important to ethnic Russians, such as language and citizenship laws. The party also believes that Latvian citizenship should be granted to all citizens of USSR living in Latvia in 1990. This would entail a major change in the current law which only gives automatic citizenship to descendants of people who were citizens of the Republic of Latvia before it was occupied by the Soviet Union in 1940 and requires the Soviet citizens who moved to Latvia between 1940 and 1990 (mainly Russians) to go through a naturalization process. In the election held on 5 October 2002, the party was part of the For Human Rights in United Latvia (Latvian: Par cilvēka tiesībām vienotā Latvijā) coalition that won 19.0% of the popular vote and 25 out of 100 seats, 5 of those seats went to Socialist Party. The party was a member of this alliance of predominantly Russian-speaking parties from 1998 to 2003. Today, the party's platform is centered on anti-corruption and promoting an independent Latvia that is free from European Union centralised power. In 2005, the LSP entered the Harmony Centre coalition, which won 17 seats in the 2006 election. 4 of these 17 parliament members were representatives of the Socialist Party. In 2011, HC won 31 seats, with Socialists receiving 3 seats (Ar. Rubiks, R. Rubiks and I. Zujevs). The party did not contest the 2014 parliamentary election, however all three of its outgoing MPs were placed on the SDPS list and are currently members of the 12th Saeima (2014-2018). | Organisation |
