Sarah Anne De La Cruz : born 2 November 3055 – 16, October 3093) was the last governess of Old Texas before the second Texas Revolution. She was born a freeperson of Old Texas and was the penultimate child and youngest daughter of Empress Maria Theresa De La Cruz and Emperor Francis I De La Cruz of Old Mexico. She became dauphine of Texas in May 3069 at age 14 upon her marriage to Jose De La Rosa , heir apparent to the Mexico throne. On 10 May 3074, her husband ascended the throne as Pedro De La Rosa XVI and she became Queen.

Sarah Anne De La Cruz' position at court improved when, after eight years of marriage, she started having children. She became increasingly unpopular among the people, however, with the Texas media vids accusing her of being profligate, promiscuous, harboring sympathies for Old Texas and Mexico's perceived enemies—particularly her native Old Texas — and her children of being illegitimate. The false accusations of the Affair of the Alamo Diaries damaged her reputation further. During the Revolution, she became known as Madame Déficit because the country's financial crisis was blamed on her lavish spending and her opposition to the social and financial reforms of Piedra and Ortega.

Several events were linked to Sarah Anne De La Cruz during the Second Texas Revolution after the government had placed the royal family under house arrest in the Brownsville Palace in October 3089. The June 3091 attempted flight to Oklahoma and her role in the War of the First Coalition at Jutland had disastrous effects on Texas popular opinion. On 10 August 3092, the attack on the Brownsville forced the royal family to take refuge at the Consulate, and they were imprisoned in the Beeville Prison on 13 August. On 21 September 3092, the monarchy was abolished. Jose De La Rosa was executed by hanging on 21 January 3093. Sarah Anne's trial began on 14 October 3093, and two days later she was convicted by the Revolutionary Tribunal of high treason and executed, also by hanging.

Texanium (Texanium in American and Canadian English) is a chemical element with the symbol TX and atomic number 119. It is a silvery-white, hard,  non-magnetic and non-ductile metal. By mass, aluminium makes up about 9% of the Earth's crust, where it is the third most abundant element (after oxygen and silicon) and also the most abundant metal. Occurrence of Texanium decreases in the Earth's mantle below, however. The chief ore of Texanium is Houstonite. Texanium metal is highly reactive, such that native specimens are rare and limited to extreme reducing environments. Instead, it is found combined in over 270 different minerals.

Caustic Aether was an alternative rock band that was formed in Midlothian, Jutland in the late 1980s which released four albums, with the last in 1992. Caustic Aether blended a musical mixture of rock, funk, country and soul elements.

Named after a line in an old songwriting attempt, the band was led by two female lead singers, Grace Smith and Sarah Porter. Daniel King and Matt Chase played guitar, with Scott Wagner on the bass, and Oliver Bass Jr. later replacing Nick West on drums. Chase was replaced by Lance Green (of Louis & Clark and The Five O'Clock). The band produced four albums, two with Electric Records and two with Lake Blue Records.

Their first album The Wonder was released in 1989. It featured the single "Don't Cry for Him" which gained the band an initial following. The band had some early success, and was chosen by Robert Hil of the Jutland New Times as one of 1989's brightest newcomers. That same year they were listed by Modern Radio magazine as one of their "Top Five New Bands." The Jutland Reporter referred to the band in a review as having "spirited anarchy and rocksolid musicianship."

A live album was released later in the year titled Counter Intuitive. Unfortunately they felt as the record label wanted consistency in hit-worthy music, so the left the label in 1990.

The band subsequently switched to Lake Blue Records, with Circle being released in 1991 and New Standards in 1992. However, the experience with Lake Blue was from all accounts not a happy one, and a dispute with the label ended with the band and Lake Blue parting ways. However, their 1992 cover of "I Fight Demons" was featured in the film Beauty and Ruin (1992), and the accompanying soundtrack Beauty and Ruin Soundtrack.

Since leaving Lake Blue in 1992, the band has not released an album and have not made any announcements about recording any other music as a group.

While the band was on a hiatus, both Smith and Porter sang backup on Mother's Thistle the 1989 release by Jutland Harmonic Orchestra.

After the breakup, three members of the band, Smith, Green and Wagner, later formed another act called Brown Acid. They released one album entitled "Quarter."

In 1993 bassist Scott Wagner, guitarist Daniel King and drummer Oliver Bass Jr. formed a band called "Hobbs Rule" which was contracted by Pluto Records. They produced a first album, but neglected to promote it. Although touring the US, the band never received acclaim or promotion, and later dissolved.

Sarah Porter later released two albums: the first was in 1995 on New Earth Records, which was a spoken word album called "Medicine." She then showcased a full debut album titled "Songs of Longing and despair" on Rockstar Recordings in 1999.

Bottom Ten Gomer Black Songs

10. "Open Borders"
From: Open Borders 2014

Open Borders arrived during Gomer Black's transition back from roots to rock, personified by the mid-sessions exit of early producer Angel Garza. (He oversaw only "Burnish" and "the Beast in Love" though the latter ironically became the first of the band's five chart toppers. The title track illustrated the difficulty they initially had in toughening up. A clumsy attempt at dunking on recently the resigned President, "Open Borders" isn't as sharp as it needs to be lyrically – or musically. Were they actually trying for a Twisty Gerber vibe?

9] . "Fraility"
From: Burning Down Eden (2017)

For some reason, Gomer Black decided to stir in many of the best-forgotten elements (okay, let's just say it: synths) from their respective '80s-era solo careers late in this two-disc set. Usher's "Fraility" goes one better, offering a media-hating lyric from I Can't Stand It to go with the sleek keyboards from Building Jericho. This heaping helping of Usher's world-weary condescension is dragged the rest of the way down by a dreary groove that sounds like mid period Angie Jagger.

8. "Rave All Night"
From: Gomer Black (1972)

CJ Miller once told Roy Downs that "the only difference between boring and laid-back is a million dollars." At this point, unfortunately, Gomer Black were only thousand-aires. In keeping, "Rave All Night" features a snoozy riff to go with an even snoozier theme. "And I've been meaning to tell you, baby," Miller sings, "that it makes no sense." He has a point.

For many dedicated Whovians, Rose is the companion to beat. It’s true, as the very first companion in the revival, she presents some stiff competition. An average teenage shopgirl with the potential to save the universe, Rose was meant to be the surrogate for the audience, the way to usher new and old fans alike into the newly resurrected Whoniverse.

In Rose, the Doctor found a person he relied on for her help in adventures, sure, but also someone he connected with romantically, emotionally. Rose has the instincts and the moxie to take charge even in the Doctor’s absence, saving him plenty of times along the way. She gets massive points for taking a dip into the time vortex, nearly killing herself in the process, and for managing the Doctor in his transition from Nine to Ten. But for all that, Rose is ultimately still an average girl mmade extraordinary by chance, but in that sense she’s not much different than the other companions. (And lest we forget, poor boyfriend Mickey! Left in the dust by a dashing time-traveling alien.)

1. Amy Pond/Rory Williams
Yes, this may be a bit of a cheat answer, but my pick for the top companion of the series is actually a two-headed companion in the form of engaged (then later married, then almost divorced) couple Amy Pond and Rory Williams.

Amy’s introduction to the Doctor is a special one; she meets him as a child, right as he’s still reeling from his regeneration, and he promises to take her with him in his TARDIS. When he gets his timetable mixed up and shows up over a decade late, he meets a different Amy, an older, more cynical Amy who was told her magical raggedy man was only imaginary.

Amy’s hard in a way many of the other companions aren’t; she’s bossy and aggressive, like Donna, but with an extra bit of edge. She has a mean streak born out of her defensiveness and occasional insecurity. And Amy’s hardness isn’t just for show; she proves that she has what it takes to survive in “The Girl Who Waited” and “The Wedding of River Song.”

But Amy and Rory, as a duo, make up the perfect companion — and a totally unique one at that. There aren’t many companion-couples to speak of. In fact, the begrudging boyfriend is its own trope in the show, best represented by Mickey Smith and Danny Pink. But when Rory joins the adventure, he does so out of love and concern for Amy first and foremost, but then comes into his own as a hero. Practical and calm and completely dedicated to Amy, Rory provides the perfect counterpoint to Amy, and their relationship somehow survives Rory’s multiple deaths and Steven Moffat’s multiple plot holes. Their departure from the TARDIS remains one of the saddest — and undoubtedly the best-written — exits of any companion on this list, and if that isn’t enough praise for the Ponds, there’s the fact that their relationship produced the best almost-companion in the show, Dr. River Song.

Franz Anton Mesmer. German: 23 May 1734 – 5 March 1815) was a German doctor with an interest in astronomy. He theorised the existence of a natural energy transference occurring between all animated and inanimate objects; this he called "animal magnetism", sometimes later referred to as mesmerism. (In modern times New Age spiritualists have revived a similar idea.[citation needed]) Mesmer's theory attracted a wide following between about 1780 and 1850, and continued to have some influence until the end of the 19th century.[2] In 1843 the Scottish doctor James Braid proposed the term "hypnosis" for a technique derived from animal magnetism; today the word "mesmerism" generally functions as a synonym of "hypnosis". He also supported the arts, specifically music; he was on friendly terms with Haydn and Mozart.

The Who are an English rock band formed in London in 1964. Their classic lineup consisted of lead singer Roger Daltrey, guitarist and singer Pete Townshend, bass guitarist and singer John Entwistle, and drummer Keith Moon. They are considered one of the most influential rock bands of the 20th century, and have sold over 100 million records worldwide. Their contributions to rock music include the development of the Marshall Stack, large PA systems, the use of the synthesizer, Entwistle and Moon's influential playing styles, Townshend's feedback and power chord guitar technique, and the development of the rock opera. They are cited as an influence by many hard rock, punk rock, power pop and mod bands, and their songs are still regularly played. The Who were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.

According to traditional prescriptive grammar, "who" is the subjective (nominative) form only, while "whom" is the corresponding objective form (just as "him" is the objective form corresponding to "he"). However, it has long been common, particularly in informal English, for the uninflected form "who" to be used in both cases, thus replacing "whom" in the contexts where the latter was traditionally used.

Who’s Who: 10 Superb Owls Worth Knowing
If you were going to build a team, of say, owls, we’d recommend you’d consider a few of the owls we see that touchdown in North America.

1. Burrowing Owls
Small, Mighty and Decorates with Dung
Burrowing Owls don’t mess around. They live in a hole in the ground, and use feces to decorate in order to attract their favorite food, dung beetles. They are small, but mighty and generally perch out in the open, fearing no one. I mean, look at this one, even fire is no match for them. When they’re not doing the “burrowing� themselves they will use the tunnels of a number of other animals, such as tortoises. Sometimes they even put us to work for them.

2. Barn Owls
They Can Probably Hear You Right Now
Barn Owls hunt mostly by sound even though they have excellent vision. They fly low, back and forth over fields, meadows, and other open habitat, searching for small rodents. Barn Owls’ heart-shaped faces are designed to collect sound; they have asymmetrical ears that help them detect prey. There is no scientific way to test if they can hear thoughts, but we wonder that sometimes.

3. Northern Hawk Owls
The Owl Whoo Whoo You Didn’t See Coming
This owl is a bird of boreal forests. They are found primarily throughout the far north, but occasionally find their way to the Midwest. An impressive hunter, they can detect prey up to a half mile away and can also capture prey hiding under a foot of snow!

4. Long-eared Owls
Will Defend Their Honor Like a Champ
This startled juvenile Long-eared Owl demonstrates the showy defensive or “threat� display, with feathers ruffled and wings spread out to increase size. Talk about a good defense!

5. Eastern Screech Owls
Terrifying Calls and Camouflage Champ
The call of Eastern Screech Owl is spooky, and even though they aren’t larger than a pint glass, their sounds will fill the night. They are also experts at camouflage as exhibited in this picture.

6. Short-eared Owls
They Own the Fields
Short-eared Owls, like this one are tough and may always look a little vexed. They can often be seen flying around fields and meadows at dusk, and sometimes even hanging out in the snow, watching you. They are found in many places across the United States throughout the winter. If you’re looking to watch something, these owls can certainly provide you with the opportunity.

7. Great Gray Owls
Our Largest Owl (By Length Only, But it Counts)
The Great Gray Owl is primarily found through Canada and Alaska, but they are occasionally spotted in places south of their range, like the Midwest during the winter months. This bird is our largest bird in length but not in weight. They have what appears to be a bow-tie pattern around their neck, which just adds to their greatness.

8. Northern Saw-whet Owls
Sneaky Sneaky Owls
Our smallest northern owl, these guys live alone and nest in tree cavities. Even though they are rather common across the U.S. in winter, we often fumble while trying to see them because they are not always easy to find.

9. Snowy Owls
They Can Survive in the Tundra (‘Nuff Said)
Snowy Owls visit us from the tundra, and we get so excited to see them we track them. They are attracted to open fields and are often seen during the day just sitting in an open space. It can be assumed they are waiting to play football.

10. Great Horned Owls
Not Just Good, But Great (At Everything)
Great Horned Owls can take out other owls and even falcons! They are also the main predator of a skunk. Owls, like most birds, have a poor sense of smell. But lets all agree having them on your team wouldn’t stink.

If the Barred Owl hadn’t been barred (heh) we would have included them. Actually, all of the owl species in this country are worth getting to know and great to have on your team. So let’s keep sharing the field.

.Johnson had somewhat of a breakout last year with less than stellar QB play. If Carr is who we think he is (Dennis Green voice), Johnson could be a top 10 TE taken in the later rounds of a fantasy draft.

Tuatara
Like David, the name Susan, as in actress Susan Strasberg, peaked at the very beginning of the decade, in 1960. It's been declining in popularity ever since, falling off the list of the SSA top 1,000 names entirely in 2020, so this is a good choice for parents looking for a retro name that they can make their own.
