The Car Barn is a historic building in the Georgetown neighborhood of
Washington, D.C. Designed by the American architect Waddy Butler Wood,
it was built between 1895 and 1897 by the Capital Traction Company as a
union terminal for several Washington and Virginia streetcar lines. The
Exorcist steps, later named after their appearance in William Friedkin's
1973 horror film The Exorcist, were built during the initial
construction to connect M Street with Prospect Street. Almost
immediately after its construction, it was converted to accommodate
electric streetcars. The building has undergone several renovations, the
most extensive in 1911, when the original Romanesque Revival façade was
significantly modified and the interior was almost completely gutted.
Changing ownership over time, it maintained its original function of
housing streetcars until 1950, when it was redeveloped as office space.
Today, it is used as an academic building by Georgetown University.

Albert Pierrepoint (30 March 1905 – 10 July 1992) was an English
hangman who executed between 435 and 600 people in a 25-year career that
ended in 1956. His first execution was in December 1932, assisting his
uncle Thomas. His father Henry had also been a hangman. In October 1941
he undertook his first hanging as lead executioner. During his tenure he
hanged 200 people who had been convicted of war crimes in Germany and
Austria, as well as several high-profile murderers—including Gordon
Cummins (the Blackout Ripper), John Haigh (the Acid Bath Murderer) and
John Christie (the Rillington Place Strangler). He undertook several
contentious executions, including Timothy Evans, Derek Bentley and Ruth
Ellis. He executed William Joyce (also known as Lord Haw-Haw) and John
Amery for high treason, and Theodore Schurch for treachery. In the 2005
film Pierrepoint he was portrayed by Timothy Spall.

The Referendum Party was a Eurosceptic political party, active in the
United Kingdom from 1994 to 1997. The party's sole objective was a
referendum on the nature of the UK's membership in the European Union.
It was founded in November 1994 by the Anglo-French multi-millionaire
businessman and politician James Goldsmith, an elected Member of the
European Parliament for the Movement for France party. In the build-up
to the 1997 general election, the Referendum Party spent more on press
advertising than either the incumbent Conservatives or the Labour
Party. It stood more candidates than any minor party had ever fielded in
a UK election (in 547 of the 659 constituencies), and won 2.6% of the
vote nationally, but failed to win any seats in the House of Commons.
Support was strongest in southern and eastern England, and weakest in
inner London, northern England, and Scotland. Goldsmith died in July
1997, and the party disbanded shortly after.

William Matthews (1770–1854) was the first person born in British
America to be ordained a Catholic priest. Originally from the colonial
Province of Maryland, he became influential in the establishment of
Catholicism in Washington, D.C. through his parochial service and
founding of several educational institutions. He was the second pastor
of St. Patrick's Church, the President of Georgetown College (later
known as Georgetown University), and the head of the Washington Catholic
Seminary, which became Gonzaga College High School, in addition to being
co-founder and president of the Washington Library Company, the first
public library in the District of Columbia. He founded several
orphanages, schools, and parishes, and was co-director of the District
of Columbia Public Schools. In 1832 he officiated at the wedding of a
French diplomat and Mary Anne Lewis, a ward of President Andrew Jackson,
in the first Catholic ceremony to be held in the White House.

SMS Schlesien was one of five Deutschland-class pre-dreadnought
battleships that served in the German Imperial Navy. Named after the
province of Silesia in 1906 and commissioned in 1908, Schlesien was
primarily occupied with training cruises and fleet maneuvers in her
early career. She served with the High Seas Fleet throughout the first
two years of World War I, saw brief action at the Battle of Jutland,
and became a training ship in 1917. The Treaty of Versailles permitted
the German navy to keep eight obsolete battleships, including Schlesien,
to defend the German coast. Modernized in the mid-1920s, the ship saw
limited combat during World War II, briefly bombarding Polish forces
during the invasion of Poland in September 1939. After escorting
minesweepers during the invasion of Norway and Denmark in April 1940,
she primarily served as a training ship and icebreaker. She was sunk by
a mine in 1945 while tasked with providing fire support off the Baltic
coast of occupied Poland.

Diamonds Are Forever is the fourth novel by the English author Ian
Fleming to feature his fictional British Secret Service agent James
Bond. Fleming wrote the story at his Goldeneye estate in Jamaica,
inspired by a Sunday Times article on diamond smuggling. The book was
first published on 26 March 1956. The story centres on Bond's
investigation of a diamond-smuggling operation that originates in the
mines of Sierra Leone and runs to Las Vegas. Along the way Bond meets
and falls in love with one of the members of the smuggling gang, Tiffany
Case. Fleming's background research formed the basis for his non-fiction
1957 book The Diamond Smugglers. The Bond novel received broadly
positive reviews at the time of publication. It was serialised in the
Daily Express newspaper, first in an abridged, multi-part form and then
as a comic strip. In 1971 it was adapted into the seventh film in the
Bond series, and the sixth one to star Sean Connery as Bond.

Project E was a Cold War arrangement under which the United States
provided the United Kingdom with nuclear weapons for the Royal Air Force
(RAF). It was later expanded to provide warheads to the British Army,
and there was a maritime version known as Project N that provided
nuclear depth bombs. US personnel retained custody of the weapons, and
handled their storage, maintenance and readiness. The first bombers
equipped with Project E weapons were Canberras (example pictured). Due
to the operational restrictions, and the loss of independence of the
British nuclear deterrent, Project E bombs were phased out in the
strategic role in 1962, although they still equipped tactical bombers,
and were used on the Thor missiles operated by the RAF from 1959 to 1963
under Project Emily. The British Army acquired Project E warheads for
its Corporal, Honest John and Lance missiles, and its artillery pieces.
The last Project E weapons were withdrawn from service in 1992.

Hydnum repandum, the hedgehog mushroom, is a fungus of the family
Hydnaceae. First described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753, it is the type
species of its genus. The cap is dry, colored yellow to light orange to
brown, and often develops an irregular shape, especially when crowded.
The mushrooms are characterized by spore-bearing structures—in the
form of spines rather than gills—which hang down from the underside of
the cap. The mushroom tissue is white with a pleasant odor and a spicy
or bitter taste. All parts of the mushroom stain orange with age or when
bruised. A mycorrhizal fungus, H. repandum is broadly distributed in
Europe, Asia and western North America, where it fruits singly or in
close groups in coniferous or deciduous woodland. This is a choice
edible species, although mature specimens can develop a bitter taste.
The mushrooms are sold in local markets of Europe and Canada.

The Emesa helmet is an iron Roman cavalry helmet from the early first
century AD. Its face mask, covered in a thin sheet of silver, presents
the individualised portrait of a face, likely that of its owner.
Decorations, some gilded, adorn the head piece. Ornately designed yet
highly functional, the helmet was probably intended for both parades and
battle. Its delicate covering is too fragile to have been put to use
during cavalry tournaments, but the thick iron core would have defended
against blows and arrows. It bears acanthus scroll ornamentation,
indicating that the helmet may have come from the luxury workshops of
Antioch. Confiscated by Syrian police in 1936 soon after looters
discovered it amidst a complex of tombs in the modern-day city of Homs,
the helmet was eventually restored at the British Museum. It has been
exhibited internationally, and is now in the collection of the National
Museum of Damascus.

Xixiasaurus is a genus of troodontid dinosaur that lived during the Late
Cretaceous. The only known specimen (a partial skull, jaw with teeth,
and forelimb) was discovered in Xixia County, Henan Province, in central
China, and was given a species description in 2010. Xixiasaurus is
estimated to have been 1.5 metres (5 ft) long and to have weighed 8
kilograms (18 lb). As a troodontid with some similarities to
Byronosaurus, the genus would have been bird-like and lightly built,
with grasping hands and an enlarged sickle-shaped claw on the second
toe. Its skull was long, with a long, low snout that formed a tapering
U-shape when seen from below. The frontal bone of the forehead was dome-
like in side view, indicating an enlarged braincase. Troodontids had
keen senses and were probably agile. The lack of serrated teeth
indicates that Xixiasaurus and some other troodontids were herbivorous,
as they had lost the ability to slice meat.
