A small advance group sent to distract Castro’s forces never reached shore. When the main unit landed, it lacked American air support as it faced 25,000 Cuban troops backed up by Soviet tanks and jets. Some of the invading exiles were killed, others imprisoned.

1. In the Atlantic Ocean, Soviet ships—presumably carrying more missiles—headed toward Cuba, while the U.S. Navy prepared to quarantine Cuba and prevent the ships from coming within 500 miles of it. In Florida, 100,000 troops waited—the largest invasion force ever assembled in the United States.
2. Conflict fought from 1950 to 1953 between North Korea, supported by China and the Soviet Union, and South Korea, supported by the United Nations and primarily the United States.
4. Kennedy increased defense spending in order to boost conventional military forces—nonnuclear forces such as troops, ships, and artillery—and to create an elite branch of the army called the Special Forces, or Green Berets. He also tripled the overall nuclear capabilities of the United States. These changes enabled the United States to fight limited wars around the world while maintaining a balance of nuclear power with the Soviet Union. However, even as Kennedy hoped to reduce the risk of nuclear war, the world came perilously close to nuclear war under his command as a crisis arose over the island of Cuba.
6. the German-born physicist Klaus Fuchs admitted giving the Soviet Union information about America’s atomic bomb. The information probably enabled Soviet scientists to develop their own atomic bomb years earlier than they would have otherwise

15. Crisis: Castro had a powerful ally in Moscow: Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, who promised to defend Cuba with Soviet arms. During the summer of 1962, the flow to Cuba of Soviet weapons—including nuclear missiles—increased greatly. President Kennedy responded with a warning that America would not tolerate offensive nuclear weapons in Cuba. Then, on October 14, photographs taken by American planes revealed Soviet missile bases in Cuba—and some contained missiles ready to launch. They could reach U.S. cities in minutes. On October 22, Kennedy informed an anxious nation of the existence of Soviet missile sites in Cuba and of his plans to remove them. He made it clear that any missile attack from Cuba would trigger an all-out attack on the Soviet Union next six days, the world faced the terrifying possibility of nuclear war. In the Atlantic Ocean, Soviet ships—presumably carrying more missiles—headed toward Cuba

8. A federal government program to give money to poorer provinces to ensure a standard of government services that are equal across the country.
11. A state-of-the-art fighter plane that was developed for the RCAF during the 1950's. In 1959 the Diefenbaker government decided to scrap the project concluding that the country could not afford the costs of such a plane. Since that time, Canada has always purchased fighter planes from the United States.
12. An attempt by British and French forces to seize the Suez Canal zone from Egypt after the government of Egypt had nationalized the canal from a British-French company. In an attempt to expand its territory, Israel supported the British-French action. The ensuing world crisis was partially solved at the UN when Canada's Lester Pearson (Minister of External Affairs) suggested that a UN peacekeeping force be sent to the area. Pearson was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in the following year.
13. Thirty-fifth President of the United States. Kennedy, a Democrat, defeated Republican Richard Nixon in the 1960 presidential election. His domestic policy aims of civil rights and social reform were mainly not achieved during his short presidency. He is best known for his handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, and the establishment of a partial test ban treaty on nuclear arms in 1963. He visited West Berlin in June 1963 and reaffirmed US support for the city with his famous declaration, “lch bin eim Berliner!" (I am a Berliner!) In November 1963 he was assassinated while visiting Dallas, Texas. His relationship with Prime Minister John Diefenbaker became strained during the Cuban Missile Crisis when Diefenbaker refused to immediately put Canada's NORAD forces on high alert.
16. A military alliance established in 1949 to defend Western Europe against any possible Soviet invasion. Originally, the alliance consisted of ten Eastern European nations plus Canada and the United States. The present alliance consists of 26 nations, including nine countries that formerly belonged to the Warsaw Pact. Under the NATO agreement, Canadian forces were stationed in Western Europe. After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, however, the Soviet threat disappeared and all Canadian bases were disbanded by 1994.
17. In 1980 he attempted to run across Canada, despite having lost a leg to cancer. His "Marathon of Hope" ended near Thunder Bay, Ontario, when cancer was discovered in his lungs. He died the following year, but the annual Terry Fox Run since then has raised millions of dollars for cancer research.
18. Canada joined the United Nations force that was sent to help South Korea defend itself from a North Korean invasion, which started in June 1950. North Korea had a Communist government and was backed by both the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China. Most of the UN forces came from the United States. Canada contributed 26 791 soldiers, sailors and airmen. 516 of these died in Korea. Both sides signed an armistice in 1953, which left Korea divided along the 38th parallel, much as it had been before 1950. Over half a century later, the situation still remains the same, although recently there have been some signs of more cooperation between the two Koreas. Unfortunately, this has not happened to the degree hoped for.
19. formed by a treaty in 1957. Under this treaty Canada and the US jointly share responsibility for the air defense of North America. Formed at the height of the Cold War, its original purpose was to defend North America from a Soviet attack using planes carrying nuclear bombs. Later, the threat came from missiles with nuclear warheads. Today, NORAD stands for North American Aerospace Command.
21. Used by the United Nations to maintain peace in a previous war zone. Sometimes, peacekeepers are used after a civil war, such as Cyprus, or after an international conflict, such as between Israel and Egypt. The responsibility of peacekeeping soldiers is to keep two sides apart and prevent any further conflict. The first major UN peacekeeping force was established after the Suez Crisis of 1956. Lester Pearson, Canada's Minister of External Affairs at that time, suggested a peacekeeping force be created, and was later awarded the Nobel Peace Price for this endeavour. Between 1956 and 2000 Canada contributed to every UN peacekeeping force. Since that time, however, Canada's role in UN peacekeeping has diminished considerably.
22. Built by the East Germans in 1961, the wall surrounded the City of West Berlin, thus making escape to West Germany by East German citizens much more difficult. The wall became the symbol of the Cold War, and its removal, in November 1989, symbolically signaled the end of the Cold War.
23. The division between the democratic countries of Western Europe and the communist countries of Eastern Europe. The term was first used by Winston Churchill to describe the situation in Europe after the Second World War when there was no communication and no knowledge about what was happening in the countries under the influence of the Soviet Union.

1. During a civil war, the majority Hutus massacred approximately 800 000 of the minority Tutsi people in the small central African country of Rwanda. Canadian General Romeo Dallaire was the commander of a small UN peacekeeping force. His calls for a larger force were ignored and the genocide took place. This lack of action is considered to be one of the UN's greatest failures in peacekeeping.
2. Term used to describe both the USA and the USSR between 1945 and 1989 when both countries had military power far in excess of any other nation.
3. From 1948-1957 served as Canada's Minister of External Affairs. He served as President of the UNs General Assembly, and nearly became the Secretary General. In 1956, during the Suez Crisis, it was his work that created a United Nations peacekeeping force which was sent to the Middle East. For this he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1957. He became leader of the Liberal Party in 1957, but lost the election to john Diefenbaker in 1958. From 1963 to 1968, however, he led two minority governments as Prime Minister. During his time in office, the new Canadian flag was introduced, as were the Canada Health Act, the Student Loan Plan, the Canada Pension Plan, and "colour blind immigration".
4. Iraq, led by Saddam Hussein, invaded neighbouring Kuwait in August 1990. The United Nations subsequently approved the use of force to evict the Iraqi forces. Canada joined the American-led coalition that defeated the Iraqi forces between January 17 and February 28, 1991. Canada provided three warships and 26 aircraft, together with other smaller units of the armed forces. The force, which was over 4000 strong, suffered no casualties.
5. A string of US-built radar stations built across the Canadian Arctic during the 1950s to detect a surprise Soviet attack over the North Pole.
7. Founded in 1955. The military alliance of Eastern European Communist states, led by the Soviet Union.

10. Progressive Conservative Prime Minister of Canada from 1984-1993. Noted for the establishment of the Free Trade Agreement with the US in 1989, and the subsequent formation of NAFTA. He also attempted to bring Quebec into the constitutional process with the Meech Lake Accord of 1987, and the Charlottetown Accord of 1992. Both of these attempts, however, ultimately failed the ratification process.
14. More than 120 countries have signed a treaty that bans the use of land mines. Land mines have been responsible for the maiming or death of hundreds or thousands of civilians (often children) long after an actual war is over. Unfortunately, both the USA and Russia have refused to sign the treaty, which was instigated by Canada's Lloyd Axworthy when he was Canada's foreign minister during the 1990's.
15. An American defensive missile deployed by Canadian forces during the 1960's. The purchase of these missiles created controversy because the missiles were meant to be armed with nuclear warheads. The Conservative Diefenbaker government decided not to use the nuclear warheads. During the 1963 federal election campaign, Lester Pearson's Liberal Party promised to acquire the warheads. After its election victory, the new Liberal government purchased the nuclear warheads making Canada very much part of the nuclear rivalry during the Cold War with the Soviet Union.
20. This name refers to the political and military rivalry between the West (USA and allies) and the Communist Bloc (USSR and allies) from the after the Second World War to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. In many ways an ideological conflict between capitalism and communism, the rivalry led to a large-scale nuclear arms race. Canada played an integral part in the conflict in part because of its geographical location between the two super powers. We were a founding member of NATO in 1949 and joined with the USA to form NORAD in 1957.

2. TSo performing arithmetic using Napier’s bones, a manual calculating device by John Napier of Merchiston. The dicipline, coined in a 1617 Latin treatise, is named after the Greek word for “rod”. If the “a” is replaced with an “e” & the “b” is removed, the word has a “colorful” prefix and refers to TSo Cao Xueqin's Hongloumeng, written in the mid-18th century (Qing dynasty) and one of China’s Four Great Classical Novels.
5. TSo modern trash and its associated items like bins, compactors, and liners. The discipline was founded in 1973 by two University of Arizona students when going through Bob Dylan’s trash and is now directed by archeologist William Rathje in relation to environmental concerns. Its name comes from a synonym from refuse or rubbish and should not be confused with midden excavations, which study domestic waste from ancient times.
6. TSo dying and death, including the social and forensic aspects related to loss. The prefix comes from the Greek personification of death, twin brother to Hypnos (sleep) and son of Nyx (night) & Erebos (darkness). It also sounds similar to a purple Marvel villain from Titan associated with a gauntlet. The discipline was founded in 1903 by immunologist Élie Metchnikoff, who also coined gerontology (TSo aging and longevity) and was jointly awarded the 1908 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Paul Ehrlich.
10. TSo dragonflies and damselflies, derived from taxonomic Insecta order they belong to which describes a common mandible feature found in many insects. Remove the 5th letter (an “a”) and it becomes TSo teeth structure and development – the forensic version of which was wrongfully used in Arizona vs Ray Krone, who became the 100th inmate exonerated from death row since its reinstatement in 1976.
14. Tso value from a philosophical perspective, coined in 1908 and notably represented by Russian philosopher Nikolay O. Lossky. The field is closely related with meta-ethics and often researched in conjunction with praxeology, TSo human actions. Ideas of intrinsic and extrinsic value are central to this discipline, as whether an entity is good in itself or a means to an end is a defining characteristic of philosophies like hedonism.
16. TSo bells, which includes both the technology behind the instruments (e.g. their casting, ringing and tuning) as well as the art of playing them itself (e.g. history, methods and traditions). Its Latin prefix refers the south-west Italian region containing Nola, the diocese where St Paulinus introduced bells to Christian worship & which lies between Mount Vesuvius and the Apennines. The namesake region’s coat of arms is “argent a bend gules”, contains the 7th most populous EU city and known for its “happy, lucky countryside”.
18. TSo money and currency, from the Late Latin for “coin”. Subfields in this study include exonumia/paranumismatica (TSo tokens, elongated coins, chips & medallions), notaphily (TSo paper currency & banknotes) and scripophily (TSo bond & stock certificates). Notable practitioners include Bletchley Park codebreaker Joan Clarke, curator Marion Archibald and French naval officer Joseph Pellerin; meanwhile, important items include the Flowing Hair Dollar and Brashers Doubloon.
20. TSo past tropical cyclone activity using geological proxies and historical documentation, coined by meteorologist Kerry Emanuel. The discipline’s name comes from Greek prefix for “ancient” and an English synonym for “storm” which the title of a 1611 Shakespeare play. Analysis of overwash deposits, speleothems (cave formations) and beach ridges are key to this field, which help researchers determine the recurrence rates, long-term fluctuations and after-effects of storms. In turn, this can can inform disciplines like archeology (on the classic Maya collapse) or actuarial science (on insurance risk assessments).
22. TSo inland waters like rivers, reservoirs, and lakes. The term, based on the Greek for “lake”, was coined by François-Alphonse Forel, the father of the discipline for his Lake Geneva research. A prominent practitioner of this field is George Evelyn Hutchinson, the father of modern ecology. Replace the “n” with an “a” & “c” to get an outdated term for TSo slugs and shell-less gastropod mollusks, rarely used these day as the group is extremely polyphyletic.
23. TSo cell function and structure in biology, as studied by physiologists like Jan Evangelista Purkyně. Specifically, it refers to the examination of a single cell type, often collected from body fluid samples, which is used in medical tests for cancer diagnosis and fetal abnormality. screening. A prominent subfield involving pathology (TSo causes and effects of disease/injury) was founded in 1928 by Georgios Nicolas Papanikolaou, a physician and inventor of the “Pap smear” test.It differs from histology as it looks at a few cells, not full tissues.

Down

1. TSo fermentation’s biochemistry and its practical applications (alcohols, pickles, breads, cheeses etc), derived from the Ancient Greek for “to leaven”. Prominent researchers in the field include chemist Eduard Buchner, who won the 1907 Chemistry Nobel Prize for fermenting sugar without living cells. Replace the “m” with a “th” to get TSo beer and beer brewing, which is comparable to oenology, or TSo wine and winemaking excluding the agricultural processes (which are part of viticulture).
3. TSo measuring time and mechanical time-keeping devices (watches, sundials, clepsydras, chronometers etc), not of the falcon-headed Egyptian god of the sky despite sounding similar. The field differs from chronometry in that the latter includes electrical devices. Replace the “r” with a “d” to get TSo pathways in different contexts, like between brain cells in neuroscience (also called connectomics), on land in geography and within a person’s life space as described by Kurt Lewin in psychology.
4. TSo seed and fruit structures, founded by 18th century botanist Joseph Gaertner – not TSo oily freshwater fish from the family Cyprinidae as it might seem at first. However, change the “p” to a “t” and it becomes TSo maps and map making, studied by people like Muhammad al-Idrisi, Shanawdithit, Marie Tharp, Inō Tadataka and Phyllis Pearsall. If instead, you add a “h” after the “p”, the word refers to an involuntary lint-picking behavior symptomatic by delirious patients in stupor, extreme exhaustion or high fever, originating from ancient Greek for “to behave as though one were collecting straw".
7. TSo cactus spines and Euphorbia thorns, used to determine past climate conditions like with tree rings. The word has two roots with mythological Greek origins. The first from a nymph who scratched Apollo’s face while rebuffing his advances & turned into this thorny Mediterranean plant, found ornamenting Corinthian & Composite order capitals (i.e tops of columns). The second, meaning “time” in Ancient Greek, is related to the Titan ruler of the mythological Golden Age, son of Uranus & Gaia and father to four or five of the 12 Olympians + Hades.
8. TSo interacting surfaces in relative motion and application of wear principles. The word was coined in 1966 by British engineer Peter Jost while discussing economics of corrosion, however research can be traced back to Leonardo da Vinci’s observations or Guillaume Amontons’ laws of friction. Replace the “b” with a “ch” to get TSo hair and scalp, a para-medical discipline which links dermatology and cosmetology, derived from the Greek for “hair”.
9. TSo physical remains from alien civilizations, a fictional discipline commonly found in science fiction which adds the Greek prefix for “stranger” to an existing study of ancient people through material culture. Although sometimes mocked as too reliant on the Big Dumb Object (BDO) trope, works like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Alien and Mass Effect have found critical acclaim with stories that involve the field.
11. TSo obligations and duties from a normative ethics viewpoint, in which it argues that actions are considered moral based on a series of rules, not due to an action’s consequences. As such, the framework is synonymous with censorial ethics and contrasted against consequentialism or pragmatic ethics, as showcased in the Trolley problem. Kantian ethics is a clear example of this moral philosophy type, as his three-part categorical imperative formula outlines the creation of maxims which determine if an action is intrinsically good; another case is René Descartes’ Divine command theory, wherein moral obligations are appointed by God’s will.
12. TSo the Shroud of Turin, from the Greek word in the Gospel of Mark to describe the burial cloth. If you remove the 4th, 6th and 7th letters (a D, N, O respectively) and the word becomes TSo China via its philosophy, language, history and culture by a primarily Western scholarship, which was coined around 1838 and likely gets its name from the 1st dynasty of Imperial China. Related to fields like philology (TSo languages in historical sources) and epigraphy (TSo written inscriptions), this latter discipline is directly translated as “Han Studies” in parts of Asia.
13. TSo vehicle tax disks placed in front windscreens, particularly those issued in the UK from January 1st 1921 to September 30th 2014. Originating from the acronym for a car permit certifying taxes were paid to the UK DVLA (like the USA DMV), the system was phased out in favor of license plate recognition software after 93 years. If the letters “xil” are added before the “l”, the word becomes TSo flags and signals, coined by Whitney Smith Jr in 1961 derived from the name of Roman military standards; prior to the research fell under heraldry.
15. TSo postcards. From the Greek diminutive of writing tablet, it is related with philately (TSo postage stamps and postal history) though more difficult to due to an unregulated production. Notable periods include: “Pioneer” (1893-1898), “Undivided Back” (1901-190), “White Boarder” (1915-1930), “Linen”(1930-1945) and “Photochrome” (1939 to present). If you remove the 1st and 3rd letter, it becomes TSo reasons behind the way that things are, like a disease’s cause in medicine (e.g. scurvy from vitamin C deficiency) or the origin of learned behaviors in psychology (e.g. Pavlovian response). It is also used when discussing national myths like the glorification of Roman Empire’s founding in Virgil’s Aeneid or creation stories in religious texts to describe various phenomenon.
17. TSo groupings and classifications based on common characteristics, from the Middle English for “symbol”. The specifics depend on the exact field, but can include medieval swords (Oakeshott), traditional Korean medicine (Sasang), intimate partner violence (Johnson’s), higher nervous activity (Pavlov’s), American farms (USDA) etc. It can describe physical objects such as The Becher’s photographs, or theoretical concepts like in statistics, and should not be confused with either the art of arranging letters or TSo landform features.
19. TSo bird eggs, the hobby of egg collecting or the investigation of Easter eggs in videogames. It’s often studied with to ornithology (TSo birds), ethology (TSo animal behavior) and caliology (TSo bird nests). Add a “r” between two vowels to get TSo Earth’s mountain landscapes, also called montology. If instead a “d” is added in same position, it becomes TSo a hypothetic life force researched by Carl von Reichenbach named after a one-eyed Norse god. Lastly, if a “z” is added to the start, it becomes Tso animals in general, like their physiology, classification and distribution.
21. TSo how soil influences living things, such as plant communities and humankind’s agronomic land use patterns. Early practitioners include as Cato the Elder (234-149 BC), who wrote about crop rotations with legumes to build soil nitrogen, and Xenophon (431–355 BC), who observed benefits of turning cover crop. Pneumatic chemist Jan Baptist van Helmont also worked in this discipline, determining that a willow tree’s weight doesn’t originate from soil. It is one of two major branches in soil science, the other being pedology (TSo soil formation, classification, and associated frameworks in geology).

5. Once classified as thrushes, these song birds are now part of Muscicapidae, or the Old World Flycatcher family. Featured in cultural works like the Korean Chunaengjeon court dance or juxtaposed with the rose in Ottoman Divan poetry, this national bird of Ukraine is also the subject of a rag by Joseph Lamb, an ode by John Keats & a popular WWII-era song “sang in Berkley Square”. It’s also the last name the Victorian era social reformer known for developing polar area diagrams & modern nursing.
6. This cryptocrystalline rock is formed from layers of chalcedony in alternating colors, though has parallel band rather than curved ones of agate rock. Its name comes from the Greek for “fingernail”, due to the appearance of white & flesh-colored varieties, despite the black version & red “sard” variant being more famous or commonly used in intaglio for superstitious properties. Most of sold carvings of this material are calcite or agates fakes, created using techniques described by naturalist Pliny the Elder in Naturalis Historia. It’s also the naming inspiration of a Generation 1 Pokémon owned by the Pewter City Gym leader & differs from a 4 species large antelope genus by one letter.
8. Contrary to popular belief, this 18th century Scottish mechanical engineer was not inspired by a kettle & did not invent the stem engine. Instead, he greatly improved upon the 1712 Newcomen engine with things such as the separate condenser, centrifugal governor & the sun & planet gear, which proved fundamental to the Industrial revolution. Seen on the current red GBP50 note (Series F) with Mathew Boulton, he also developed the concept of horsepower, the pressure-volume diagram, parallel motion & a namesake linkage . Like this puzzle’s “F” answer, an SI unit is named after him (for power).
10. I’m a non-climacteric fruit native to South East Asia with a “sweet, mildly acidic flavor” reminiscent of grapes or lychees, whose name is derived from the Malay word for “hair”. Also known as achotillo in Ecuador & Puerto Rico, you can spell its common name by removing one letter from either a landlocked Asian country or a four carbon alkane & adding behind the word for a male sheep. I’m also related to the answer starting with “C”.
11. “In winter time their flesh is firm, and […] sought after as articles of food, but in summer weather they are worthless” wrote Aristotle about this in The History of Animals VI, 6. Still seen as a delicacy in some countries today, a protein from this animal is used in research as a marker for inserted genes. Mirroring this puzzle’s “L” answer, while their common name suggests they are part of the Actinopterygii “ray-finned fish” class, this group’s “true” types belong to the Scyphozoans class within the Cnidaria phylum, known for their “stinging” cnidocyte cells. Ocean sunfish are a notable predator of this animal, as are sea turtles who may mistake plastic bags for them.
14. This word is type of medium-hard Scottish candy made using condensed milk, butter & sugar, often flavored with this puzzle’s V answer. The Latin phrase for wax “blank” versions of this are used to describe a newborn’s mind by proponents of “nurture” psychological theories. Meanwhile, the Vindolanda version of these were once the oldest surviving handwritten documents in Britain. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is an oral dosage form of medicine formed through compression.
16. In optics, it is made of brass strips in “Waterhouse” versions, & several blades in modern “iris” types, which is used to adjust aperture size when making bokeh effects. In acoustics, it is transducer which converts vibrations into sound or vice versa. In anatomy, it’s a thin asymmetric muscle involved in breathing, notably lacking in birds, which was coined by 12th century Italian translator Gerard of Cremona. It also may refer to a contraceptive, mechanical positive displacement pumps & structural lateral load bearing system.
19. Created in 1966 by American Maulana Karenga following the Watts riots/rebellion, this holiday is held annually from December 26 to January 1. It celebrates African-American culture & is ahistorically named after a Swahili phrase for “first fruits”. This seven-lettered festivity is represented by the Kinara, a seven-branched candleholder with red, green & black candles used to represent Nguzo Saba or the seven principles of African Heritage.
23. “Where flowers bloom, so does hope” said this Texan known by her animal nickname, who was wife to a single-term POTUS & associated with the Highway Beautification Act. Like this puzzle’s “J” answer, while the American name variant implies these animals are part of the Hemiptera “true bug” order, they are actually part of the Coleoptera “beetle” order, specifically the Coccinellidae family. They are also known as God's little cow, shaman bug, Mary’s chicken or Key maiden when directly translated from other languages.
24. I can help you stand out, even though I often come in pairs or more, describing figure skating turns & tree-growing polypore.

25. In the earliest telling of Robin Hood, the titular character was a member of this social class, rather than a knight, though in later retellings three of these are rescued from the Sheriff of Nottingham & join the Merry Men. Jeffersonian Democracy was built around this sort of small landowning farmer in the USA. It is also a military term previously used to signify a fighting class between squires & pages in the UK, while the US Navy uses it today to denote enlisted members involved with clerical work.
26. Discovered in 1898 England by Sir William Ramsay & Moris Travers after krypton & neon, this noble gas glows blue when placed in an electric field & can be used as a general anesthetic or ion thruster propellant. Although generally unreactive, the formation of a hexafluoroplantinate by Neil Bartlett in 1962 made it the first noble gas compound to be synthesized. Its name comes from a Greek prefix meaning “stranger”, & pronounced by saying a different nearby letter of the alphabet from what it’s spelt with.

1. Commonly known by this descriptive “Q” name, a sulfide of this element called cinnabar is used to make Vermillion red pigment, while it forms metal alloys called amalgams, such as Arquerite or dental tooth fillings. Once thought to be the First Matter of metals by alchemist, its use in thermometer & sphygmomanometer is being phased out due to toxicity concerns. In popular culture, it is the name of a Marvel speedster, while Tuco Salamanca’s HQ is destroyed with a fulminated version.
2. While traditional practitioners of this trade use materials like coir, hessian & scrims for their craft, modern artisans are more likely to use things like Dacron/Terylene, vinyl or closed-cell foam instead. Apprentices in this field are known as outsiders or trimmers, & may work with others to find the Martindale value of their final products.
3. Measured using the 4 stage Swiss system, ECG/EKGs of this emergency medical condition often shows Osborn J waves. A notable extreme victim of this condition is Anna Bågenholm, a Swedish 1999 ski accident survivor & example of the statement “nobody is dead until they are warm & dead”. This state, associated with paradoxical undressing, is responsible for the military campaign downfall of many notable leaders like Hannibal in 218 BC with the Second Punic War & Napoleon in 1812 with the French invasion of Russia.
4. Coined by Edgar Allen Poe in The Gold Bug, this word comes from ancient Greek words meaning “hidden”, “to write” & “study” respectively. People associated with the term include Al-Kindi, Polybius, Elizabeth Friedman, Claude E. Shannon & Agnes Driscoll. This science also triggered the USA entry to WWI through the Zimmermann Telegram.
7. This genus of orchid, meaning “little pod” in Spanish, was originally cultivated by early Mesoamericans. While the plant’s sap is caustic & causes contact dermatitis, the fruits are used extensively in baking & perfumes. Ironically, while its name synonymous with “conventional”, it’s the world’s 2nd most expensive spice due to the labor-intensive hand-pollination needed to produce it, a process invented by former Reunion island slave Edmond Albius at the age of 12.
9. Though only 4 letters long, it is the name of a genus of deer from the India subcontinent in Zoology, designator for a Cartesian-coordinate dimension in Math, C2 vertebra of the spine under the atlas in Anatomy & the “Roberto” powers in World War II History.
12. Monarchs Joanna of Castile, Suleiman I of the Ottoman Empire, Ethelred II of England, Vlad III of Wallachia & Ivan IV of Russia all share this feature in common.
