The Mazda Wankel engines (a type of rotary combustion engine) comprise a family of car engines derived from experiments in the early 1960s by Felix Wankel, a German engineer. Over the years, displacement has been increased and turbocharging has been added. Wankel engines can be classified by their geometric size in terms of radius (rotor center to tip distance, also the median stator radius) and depth (rotor thickness), and offset (crank throw, eccentricity, also 1/4 the difference between stator's major and minor axes). These metrics function similarly to the bore and stroke measurements of a piston engine. Displacement is 3√3radius·offset·depth, multiplied with the number of rotors (note that this only counts a single face of each rotor as the entire rotor's displacement). Nearly all Mazda production Wankel engines share a single rotor radius, 105 mm (4.1 in), with a 15 mm (0.6 in) crankshaft offset. The only engine to diverge from this formula was the rare , which used a 120 mm (4.7 in) rotor radius and 17.5 mm (0.7 in) crankshaft offset. Mazda rotary engines have a reputation for being relatively small and powerful at the expense of poor fuel efficiency. The engines became popular with kit car builders, hot rodders and in light aircraft because of their light weight, compact size, tuning potential stemming and inherently high power-to-weight ratio - as is true to all Wankel-type engine. Mazda put the engine into serial production, with NSU (Ro80) and Citroën (GS Birotor), as part of the Comotor joint-venture, between 1967 and 1977. Since the end of production of the Mazda RX-8 in 2012, the engine is produced only for single seater racing, with the one-make Star Mazda Championship being contested with a Wankel engine. | Engine |

1558 Järnefelt, provisional designation 1942 BD, is a carbonaceous asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, approximately 65 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 20 January 1942, by Finnish female astronomer Liisi Oterma at Turku Observatory in Southwest Finland. The dark C-type asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 3.1–3.3 AU once every 5 years and 9 months (2,113 days). Its orbit has a low eccentricity of 0.03 and an inclination of 10° with respect to the plane of the ecliptic. The asteroid's first identification at Heidelberg dates back to 1913 (A913 AA / 1913 AA), while its first used observation was made at Johannesburg in 1934, extending the body's observation arc by 8 years prior to its discovery. In May 2007, photometric light-curve observations for this asteroid at the U.S. Oakley Observatory, Indiana, gave a rotation period of 18.22±0.06 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.40 in magnitude. This was the first time the asteroid's period had been measured. However, the light-curve is not fully covered by the 90 data points obtained, so the period may be wrong by about 30 percent (U=2). According to the space-based surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS), the Japanese Akari satellite, and NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer with its subsequent NEOWISE mission, the asteroid has an albedo of 0.034 to 0.049, and an estimated diameter between 55.0 and 65.1 kilometers. The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link agrees with the data obtained by IRAS and derives an albedo of 0.032 and a diameter of 65.1 kilometers, based on an absolute magnitude of 10.3. The minor planet was named after Finnish astronomer and director of the Helsinki University Observatory in the post-war period, Gustaf Järnefelt (1901–1989). His research included the theory of relativity and the publication artificial satellite observations. Naming citation was published before November 1977 (M.P.C. 3930). | Celestial Body |

Loch Tay (Scottish Gaelic, Loch Tatha) is a freshwater loch in the central highlands of Scotland, in the Perth and Kinross and Stirling council areas. It is a long narrow loch of around 14.55 mi (23.42 km) long, and typically around 1 to 1½ miles wide, following the line of the strath from the south west to north east. It is the sixth largest loch in Scotland by area and over 150 m (490 ft) deep at its deepest. Ben Lawers on its north shore is at 1214 m the 10th highest mountain in the British Isles, and is the highest peak in a group of seven munros. Killin at the head of the loch, and Kenmore at the outflow of the River Tay, are the main settlements on the lochside today. The smaller settlements of Acharn, Ardeonaig and Ardtalnaig are located on the south side of the loch whilst Fearnan and Lawers are on the north side. The loch is fed by the rivers Dochart and Lochay at its head and numerous smaller streams. The loch is a popular spot for salmon fishing. The loch, and many of its surroundings, feature in the traditional Scottish 'Loch Tay Boat Song' (Scottish Gaelic, Iorram Loch Tatha). Loch Tay railway station was on the Killin Railway. It is now closed. In ancient times (in the Iron Age) people lived on defensible, man-made islands on the loch, called crannogs. More than 20 submerged crannogs have been identified in the loch. An example has now been reconstructed on the south side of the loch at the Scottish Crannog Centre. | Body Of Water |

Carver would play himself and the production would feature a hughe water tank, 12 x 3 metres, featuring real ducks, Indians padding canoes and stunts involving horses. The original production starred Lily Dampier alongside Carver, and was a considerable success. Dampier later reworked the play as The Trapper for Carver and Lily. Carver later performed The Scout in the USA, although it was not advertised as an Australian play. The play was also revived in 1895 as The Prairie King (with sole writing credit being given to Walch). | Written Work |

Benny Urquidez (born June 20, 1952) is a half Spanish-half Mexican, American kickboxer, martial arts choreographer and actor. Nicknamed The Jet, Urquidez was a non-contact karate competitor who later pioneered full-contact fighting in the U.S. He made the transition from point to full-contact karate in 1974 – the year of its inception in the U.S. – frequently fighting in bouts where the rules were ambiguous and contrasts in styles were dramatic. Urquidez is also known for once holding the rare achievement of six World Titles in five different weight divisions, and Urquidez remained largely undefeated in his 27-year career. His only loss came in a Muay Thai which was shrouded in controversy, as Urquidez had only agreed to a no-decision exhibition, a clause which was ignored when the fight had ended. Between 1974 and 1993, he amassed a documented professional record of 49–1–1 (win-loss-draw) with 35 knockouts and two controversial no-contests, although he is also supposed to have an additional record of 10–0–1 (10 KOs) in undocumented pro fights, making a total of 59–1–2–2 (45 KOs). However, sources vary with Ratings listing Urquidez as 63–0–1, (57 knockouts) and on his own official webpage, Urquidez lists his fight record as 200–0, and says he was 63–0, with 57 knockouts in title defenses. Also, he claims to have been undefeated in the \"Adult Black Belt Division\" prior to entering full-contact karate. Black Belt magazine voted Urquidez \"Competitor of the Year\" in 1978. | Athlete |

Alexander White (1738 – September 19, 1804) was a distinguished early American lawyer and politician in the present-day U.S. states of Virginia and West Virginia. White served as an elected member of the House of Burgesses, representing Hampshire County, and as a member of the Virginia House of Delegates, representing Berkeley and Frederick counties. During the American Revolutionary War, he facilitated the release of Quaker and Hessian civilian prisoners held by patriots.

White was appointed by United States President George Washington to serve as a commissioner on a board responsible for the planning and construction of Washington, D.C.; White served on the board from 1795 to 1802. White was the son of Virginia pioneer settler and physician Dr. Robert White (1688–1752); thus, he was a member of the prominent White political family of Virginia and West Virginia. He was the uncle of Virginia judge Robert White (1759–1831), the uncle of United States House Representative Francis White (1761–1826), and the brother-in-law of Virginia Governor James Wood (1741–1813). | Person |

A Dominions cricket team, representing the Dominions of the British Empire, played seven cricket matches, all in England during wartime. Only once did the team play at first-class level, when it played against England at Lord's in late August 1945. This was the seventh match of first-class status to be played in England since 1939. All but two of the England team either already had, or would later gain, Test caps, and the other two (Eddie Phillipson and Jack Davies) would play over 150 first-class matches apiece, but the Dominions side was far more uneven in this regard. Such luminaries as Learie Constantine (captaining the team in his final first-class match) and Keith Miller rubbed shoulders with the likes of Hartley Craig for whom this was his only first-class game. The Dominions won the toss and batted, and Donnelly's 133 helped them to 307 all out; Wright took 5–90. England's reply started badly as they fell to 96/6, but a stand of 177 between captain Hammond (121) and Edrich (78) saw them to 287. In their second innings, the Dominions' total of 336 was massively helped by Miller's 185; Wright claimed 5–105. Chasing 357 to win, 102 from Hammond and 56 from Davies were not enough and they were dismissed for 311; the Dominions thus won by 45 runs. | Sports Team |

Michael Stephen Anthony McEvoy (born 25 January 1956) is an Indian-born former English cricketer who played first-class and List A cricket between 1976 and 1990, with the bulk of his career being between 1980 and 1984. He was playing for the Essex Second XI at the age of 17,but his debut in major cricket was in a County Championship match against Middlesex in August 1976; he scored 18 and 13, opening the batting in both innings.At the start of September, he scored his maiden first-class half-century, producing an innings of 61 against Somerset. McEvoy remained a bit-part player in the Essex side for the rest of the 1970s, but this changed in 1980 when he played in 16 first-class and eight List A games. His final aggregate of 600 first-class runs was the most he scored in any season, albeit with only two fifties and an average of little more than 20.He again played a fair number of first-team games in 1981, and claimed his only three first-class wickets when he took 3/20 against Middlesex at Lord's,but he was confined to the Second XI after mid-July and left Essex at the end of the season. Without a first-class county to play for in 1982, McEvoy turned out for Cambridgeshire in minor counties cricket, and made his maiden List A half-century in scoring 52 against Warwickshire in the NatWest Trophy.In 1983, he returned to major cricket with Worcestershire, and near the end of the season hit his only first-class hundred when he struck 103 against Warwickshire.He averaged 22.76 in scoring 569 first-class runs that summer, his highest in any season, but in 1984 that figure collapsed to 14.46, and his total of 188 runs from 13 innings told its own story. That was that as far as McEvoy's first-class career was concerned, but he then enjoyed several seasons with Suffolk, playing quite regularly from 1985 until 1990, and then occasionally until 1992.He scored four centuries in the space of six weeks in 1989,and appeared in Suffolk's losing Championship final against Cheshire in 1985, though he was dismissed for just 5.He played one List A game in the NatWest Trophy each year from 1985 to 1990. | Athlete |

The Alberta general election of 1989 was the twenty-second general election for the Province of Alberta, Canada. It was held on March 20, 1989 to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta. Many political observers were surprised by the early election call - less than three years had passed since the previous election. Premier Don Getty, in his second election as Progressive Conservative Party leader, led it to its sixth consecutive term in government, despite losing a significant share of the popular vote and two seats in the legislature, including his own seat of Edmonton-Whitemud to Liberal candidate Percy Wickman. The New Democratic Party led by Ray Martin largely held its share of the popular vote, and also its 16 seats in the legislature. The Liberal Party, under new leader Laurence Decore, was the principal beneficiary of the voters' continuing distrust of Don Getty. The Liberals' share of the popular vote increased to over 28%, more than the NDP, but the party's legislative caucus increased from four to only eight members. The Representative Party, which had elected 2 candidates in the previous election, did not run any candidates in 1989 (although it remained registered). Leader Ray Speaker defected to the Progressive Conservatives, while Walt Buck retired. The party disbanded soon after the election. | Societal Event |

RazakSAT is a Malaysian satellite carrying a high-resolution camera. It was launched into low Earth orbit by a Falcon 1 rocket on 14 July 2009. It was placed into a near-equatorial orbit that presents many imaging opportunities for the equatorial region. It weighs over three times a much as TiungSAT-1 and carries a high resolution Earth observation camera. Developed in conjunction with Satrec Initiative, the satellite's low inclination orbit (9 degrees) brought it over Malaysia a dozen or more times per day. This was intended to provide greatly increased coverage of Malaysia, compared to most other Earth observation satellites. An audit report released in October 2011 revealed that the satellite had failed after only 1 year of operation. | Satellite |

2002 AA29 (also written 2002 AA29) is a small near-Earth asteroid that was discovered on January 9, 2002 by the LINEAR (Lincoln Near Earth Asteroid Research) automatic sky survey. The diameter of the asteroid is only about 20–100 metres (70–300 ft). It revolves about the Sun on an almost circular orbit very similar to that of the Earth. This lies for the most part inside the Earth's orbit, which it crosses near the asteroid's furthest point from the Sun, the aphelion. Because of this orbit, the asteroid is classified as Aten type, named after the asteroid (2062) Aten. A further characteristic is that its mean orbital period about the Sun is exactly one sidereal year. This means that it is locked into a relationship with the Earth, since such an orbit is only stable under particular conditions. As yet only a few asteroids of this sort are known, locked into a 1:1 resonance with the Earth. The first was (3753) Cruithne, discovered in 1986. Asteroids that have a 1:1 orbital resonance with a planet are also called co-orbital objects, because they follow the orbit of the planet. The most numerous known co-orbital asteroids are the so-called trojans, which occupy the L4 and L5 Lagrangian points of the relevant planet. However, 2002 AA29 does not belong to these. Instead, it follows a so-called horseshoe orbit along the path of the Earth. | Celestial Body |
