John Schmidt (born April 12, 1973) is an American pool player, born in Keokuk, Iowa. Specialising in straight pool, Schmidt claims to hold the record for the highest run ever made, scoring 626 in 2019. The run supposedly was made after months of unopposed attempts to beat the 65 year record held by Willie Mosconi. Schmidt also won the world straight pool championship defeating Efren Reyes in the final in 2012. In the game of nine-ball, Schmidt won the U.S. Open 9-Ball Championships in 2006 defeating Rodolfo Luat in the final. He was also part of the American team at two Mosconi Cups in 2006 and 2014.

Surface roughness often shortened to roughness, is a component of surface texture. It is quantified by the deviations in the direction of the normal vector of a real surface from its ideal form. If these deviations are large, the surface is rough; if they are small, the surface is smooth. In surface metrology, roughness is typically considered to be the high-frequency, short-wavelength component of a measured surface. However, in practice it is often necessary to know both the amplitude and frequency to ensure that a surface is fit for a purpose.

Tamara Lynn Sytch (born December 7, 1972), widely known by her ring name Sunny, is an American professional wrestling manager, valet, former adult entertainer, and ring announcer. Sytch achieved great success as Sunny within the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, later WWE) during the 1990s and is considered the first WWF Diva, possibly as well as many guys' "first". In 1996, America Online named her the most downloaded celebrity on the internet. She later performed under her birth name in Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), World Championship Wrestling (WCW), and Ring of Honor. Sytch was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2011.

Bushiroad Inc. (株式会社ブシロード, Kabushiki-gaisha Bushirōdo) is a Japanese entertainment company, producer of collectible card games and trading cards, publisher of mobile apps and games, promotional items and many other venues, which was founded in 2007 by Takaaki Kidani and is headquartered in Tokyo. Bushiroad created and owns various media franchises such as Tantei Opera Milky Holmes. Since 2019, Bushiroad is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and has traded on the TSE since its launch on July 24, 2019. On January 29, 2012, Bushiroad announced that it had fully acquired New Japan Pro-Wrestling, a major professional wrestling promotion, for ¥500 million. In October 2019, Bushiroad acquired World Wonder Ring Stardom, a Joshi puroresu promotion. At the 2012 Tokyo Game Show, Bushiroad announced Bushimo, a new social gaming platform for smartphones, which was released in Winter 2012. In March 2013, Bushiroad announced the revival of the media franchise Neppu Kairiku Bushi Road, with an anime television that aired on December 31, 2013 as a collaboration between Bushiroad, Bandai Visual, Nitroplus, and Kinema Citrus. Bushiroad introduced a monthly magazine in September 2013 titled Monthly Bushiroad (月刊ブシロード, Gekkan Bushirōdo). It features manga serializations of their various trading card games and other franchises. Bushiroad created the media franchise BanG Dream! in January 2015, which consists of a musical group, several manga series and an anime television series. It also created the media franchise Shōjo Kageki Revue Starlight in 2017, which consists of a musical and an anime television series. On December 12, 2019, Bushiroad and Kadokawa acquired each of them a total of 31.8% of Kinema Citrus. The three companies previously announced a partnership in the same year for the creation of different anime, and one of the reasons for the deal was due to that partnership and a day later Bushiroad announced that it had acquired 8.2% of Sanzigen with Ultra Super Pictures owning 75.4% of Sanzigen and studio president Hiroaki Matsuura owning 16.4% of the company.

Surface roughness often shortened to roughness, is a component of surface texture. It is quantified by the deviations in the direction of the normal vector of a real surface from its ideal form. If these deviations are large, the surface is rough; if they are small, the surface is smooth. In surface metrology, roughness is typically considered to be the high-frequency, short-wavelength component of a measured surface. However, in practice it is often necessary to know both the amplitude and frequency to ensure that a surface is fit for a purpose. Roughness plays an important role in determining how a real object will interact with its environment. In tribology, rough surfaces usually wear more quickly and have higher friction coefficients than smooth surfaces. Roughness is often a good predictor of the performance of a mechanical component, since irregularities on the surface may form nucleation sites for cracks or corrosion. On the other hand, roughness may promote adhesion. Generally speaking, rather than scale specific descriptors, cross-scale descriptors such as surface fractality provide more meaningful predictions of mechanical interactions at surfaces including contact stiffness and static friction. Although a high roughness value is often undesirable, it can be difficult and expensive to control in manufacturing. For example, it is difficult and expensive to control surface roughness of fused deposition modelling (FDM) manufactured parts. Decreasing the roughness of a surface usually increases its manufacturing cost. This often results in a trade-off between the manufacturing cost of a component and its performance in application. Roughness can be measured by manual comparison against a "surface roughness comparator" (a sample of known surface roughness), but more generally a surface profile measurement is made with a profilometer. These can be of the contact variety (typically a diamond stylus) or optical (e.g.: a white light interferometer or laser scanning confocal microscope). However, controlled roughness can often be desirable. For example, a gloss surface can be too shiny to the eye and too slippery to the finger (a touchpad is a good example) so a controlled roughness is required. This is a case where both amplitude and frequency are very important.

Riocard Bairéad (Anglicised as Richard Barrett) (b. 1740 – d. 1819 according to his grave), was a poet and a United Irishman who rose in support of the French in Mayo in August 1798. Some sources say that he was born in 1739 or 1740 and died either in 1818 or on December 8 or 18th, 1819. At the time of the centenary celebrations for the 1798 rebellion a ballad, "The Men of The West", was set to Bairéad's air of "Eoghan Coir". The poem engraved on his tomb stone at Cross Point, to the west of Belmullet, at one point read:
Riocard Bairéad (Anglicised as Richard Barrett) (b. 1740 – d. 1819 according to his grave), was a poet and a United Irishman who rose in support of the French in Mayo in August 1798. Some sources say that he was born in 1739 or 1740 and died either in 1818 or on December 8 or 18th, 1819. Some sources say that Bairéad was born in 1739 or 1740 and died either in 1818 or on December 8 or 18th, 1819. He worked as a teacher and small farmer. Known in his lifetime as the Poet of Erris, Bairéad was notable for his verse and songs in the Irish Gaelic as well as the role he played in the Society of United Irishmen that mounted an uprising, known as the Irish Rebellion of 1798 against British rule. Bairéad himself, according to local folklore, played an important role in the rebellion. A French expeditionary force under General Humbert landed in County Mayo to support the United Irishmen. Humbert was to be followed by further French troops but these never materialized. The rebellion ended in failure, despite some early victories over the English forces, most notably when the redcoats took flight before the pike-wielding men from Belmullet and other Erris villages in a battle that became known as "the Races of Castlebar". At the time of the centenary celebrations for the 1798 rebellion a ballad, "The Men of The West", was set to Bairéad's air of "Eoghan Coir". The poem engraved on his tomb stone at Cross Point, to the west of Belmullet, at one point read: Why spend your leisure bereft of pleasureAmassing treasure? Why scrape and save?Why look so canny at every penny?You’ll take no money into the grave. His own grave had fallen into a bad state of disrepair a few years ago and his bones were nearly washed into the Atlantic Ocean after a wild storm. But well-wishers from the town of Belmullet have now shored up the cemetery wall to ensure another few years of existence for the poet's last resting place. Riocard Bairead was a satirist, influenced by such as Jonathan Swift. He married twice, first to Nancy Tollet then to Maire Ní Mhóráin. With Maire he had two children, Mary and Richard Barrett. Coláiste Riocard Bairéad is named after him. The Irish summer college belongs to Gael Linn
