The Little Rock Nine was a group of nine African American students enrolled in Little Rock Central High School in 1957. Their enrollment was followed by the Little Rock Crisis, in which the students were initially prevented from entering the racially segregated school by Orval Faubus, the Governor of Arkansas. They then attended after the intervention of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The U.S. Supreme Court issued its historic Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, 347 U.S. 483, on May 17, 1954. Tied to the 14th Amendment, the decision declared all laws establishing segregated schools to be unconstitutional, and it called for the desegregation of all schools throughout the nation. After the decision, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) attempted to register black students in previously all-white schools in cities throughout the South. In Little Rock, Arkansas, the school board agreed to comply with the high court's ruling. Virgil Blossom, the Superintendent of Schools, submitted a plan of gradual integration to the school board on May 24, 1955, which the board unanimously approved. The plan would be implemented during the fall of the 1957 school year, which would begin in September 1957. By 1957, the NAACP had registered nine black students to attend the previously all-white Little Rock Central High, selected on the criteria of excellent grades and attendance. Called the "Little Rock Nine", they were Ernest Green (b. 1941), Elizabeth Eckford (b. 1941), Jefferson Thomas (1942–2010), Terrence Roberts (b. 1941), Carlotta Walls LaNier (b. 1942), Minnijean Brown (b. 1941), Gloria Ray Karlmark (b. 1942), Thelma Mothershed (b. 1940), and Melba Pattillo Beals (b. 1941). Ernest Green was the first African American to graduate from Central High School. When integration began in September 4, 1957, the Arkansas National Guard was called in to "preserve the peace". Originally at orders of the governor, they were meant to prevent the black students from entering due to claims that there was "imminent danger of tumult, riot and breach of peace" at the integration. However, President Eisenhower nationalized the Guard and ordered them to support the integration on September 23 of that year, after which they protected the African American students.

Sebastian Vettel (German pronunciation: [zeˈbasti̯an ˈfɛtl̩]; born 3 July 1987) is a German racing driver currently driving in Formula One for Scuderia Ferrari. He is a four-time Formula One World Champion, having won championships in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 with Red Bull Racing; he is regarded by some as one of the greatest drivers in in the history the sport. Leaving Red Bull for the 2015 season, Vettel initially signed a three-year contract with Ferrari, which was later extended until the end of 2020. Vettel started his career in Formula One as a test driver for BMW Sauber and made his debut with the team at the 2007 United States Grand Prix, replacing the injured Robert Kubica. Later in the season, he joined Toro Rosso (as at the time, he was already part of the Red Bull programme) and stayed with the team into 2008. That September, the 21-year-old became the (then) youngest pole-sitter and race winner at the 2008 Italian Grand Prix. In his first year driving for Red Bull in 2009, Vettel finished the season as the youngest-ever World Drivers' Championship runner-up. The following year he went on to become the youngest driver ever to win the World Drivers' Championship. In the same year he helped Red Bull win the team's first World Constructors' Championship. He followed up his first championship with three more titles, all in succession, becoming the youngest double, triple and quadruple world champion in Formula One. The 2010 and 2012 titles were decided in the final round, in 2010 coming out on top over Ferrari's Fernando Alonso in a four-way title battle at Abu Dhabi, whilst in 2012 defeating Alonso by three points. The 2011 and 2013 titles saw Vettel dominating the seasons to secure the titles early. Ending his long-term association with the team, Vettel activated a clause to end his contract with Red Bull early after the 2014 season. Soon after, it was announced that Vettel had signed a three-year contract with Ferrari for the 2015 season. After his winless 2014 season, he won three races in his first season with Ferrari, being the closest challenger to the Mercedes. He finished fourth in the 2016 championship, another winless season after 2014. Vettel and Ferrari enjoyed a resurgence in 2017, topping the standings for more than half the season following four wins. After dropping to second in the standings, a string of poor reliability and results in the second half of the campaign left him trailing Lewis Hamilton significantly and Vettel eventually saw his title hopes end in Mexico. Vettel also contended for the 2018 title against Hamilton, winning several races over the course of the season, but for the second straight year, his championship hopes ended in Mexico. In addition to the numerous 'youngest' records held, Vettel is currently in 3rd place among all-time race winners (52) and podium finishes (111) and fourth among polesitters (55).

Machine Head is an American heavy metal band from Oakland, California. The band was formed in 1991 by vocalist/rhythm guitarist Robb Flynn and bassist Adam Duce.

Duce, lead guitarists Logan Mader, Ahrue Luster and Phil Demmel and drummers Tony Costanza, Chris Kontos and Dave McClain are former members of the band. Machine Head's first four albums earned the band a growing fan base in Europe, however the band would not have success in the United States until later albums. The band drew controversy with its fourth album, Supercharger (2001), which was released three weeks after the September 11 attacks and resulted in their songs and music video for the song "Crashing Around You" (which featured burning buildings) being pulled from all media outlets. The band nearly disbanded in 2002 after negotiating off its label Roadrunner Records as a result of the controversy, however the band would eventually re-sign with the label. After experimenting with elements of groove metal and nu metal in their early releases, Machine Head changed to a more traditional thrash metal sound with its sixth album, The Blackening (2007), which drew critical acclaim and was chosen as Album of the Decade by Metal Hammer in 2010. The album's first single, "Aesthetics of Hate", also earned the band its first Grammy Award nomination. The band would continue to experiment with genres in later releases. Machine Head has released nine studio albums, two live albums, one video album, 13 singles and 15 music videos. Four of the band's albums have been certified silver in the United Kingdom, and the band's highest peak on the Billboard 200 came with its eighth album, Bloodstone & Diamonds (2014), at number 21.

A tsunami (from Japanese: 津波, "harbour wave";English pronunciation: soo-NAH-mee or ) or tidal wave,, also known as a seismic sea wave, is a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or a large lake. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions (including detonations, landslides, glacier calvings, meteorite impacts and other disturbances above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami. Unlike normal ocean waves, which are generated by wind, or tides, which are generated by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun, a tsunami is generated by the displacement of water.

Tanzeel (Arabic تنزيل) "sending down" and Inzal (Arabic انزال), "bringing down", refer to the act of descent or revelation of God's message from heaven to the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad, on earth. The process by which the Divine message come down from heaven to the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad, is tanzeel or nuzul (Arabic نزول)("descending"). In the Qur'an — where the revealed message was compiled for human use — forms of these words are found in verse Q.17:105: "With the truth we (God) have sent it down and with the truth it has come down" (Arabic وَبِالْحَقِّ أَنْزَلْنَاهُ وَبِالْحَقِّ نَزَلَ wa-bi-l-ẖaqqi `anzalnahu wa-bi-l-ẖaqqi nazal). (Tanzeel, Inzal, nuzul, etc., all come from the triconsonantal arabic root verb nazala (Arabic نذل. ) It designates positive religion, the letter of the revelation dictated by the angel Jabril to the prophet. According to hadith, the circumstances that verses were sent down in, and the study of why and how a particular verses was revealed is known as Asbab al-nuzul. However, in this view God himself is never the subject of coming down. The Qur'an asserts that the messenger of Allah (God) is Muhammad.of the pre-existing Qur'an through different Realms. The place that the Qur'an comes down from is heaven. The “mother of the book” (umm al-kitab) is located in the presence of God (the Qur'an itself also calls this a “well-guarded tablet” (lawh mahfuz) a “concealed book” (kitab maknun)). In a hadith tradition from Abd Allah ibn Abbas, it is said that the Qur'an descended in two stages. Firstly (i.e., first Tanazzul) to the (Preserved Scripturum) or 'al-sama’ al-dunya (the ‘lowest heaven’) in an early, unknown or undefined time.In the second stage, it descended from al-sama’ al-dunya to the worldly realm to be revealed to Muhammad by the angel Gabriel piecemeal in stages (mufarriqan or tafsilan) over 23 years until the whole Qur’an was completely revealed. Muhammad's first encounter with the archangel produced the first five verses of the ninety-sixth chapter of the present Qur’an, the chapter of The Clot (Surat al-‘Alaq) Some commentators believe that the Quran was revealed to Muhammad twice. In addition to the gradual 23 year revelation of the Quran there was an 'immediate revelation' that happened on the Laylat al-Qadr. This is based on an understanding of sura Al-Qadr:1 as referring to descent of the Qur'an in its entirety. `Abd Allah ibn `Abbas reports that, "… descended in Ramadan, on the Laylat al-Qadr in one lay down (jumlah, Ar. جملة), …" One quranic verse replies to those who ask why the Quran was revealed over time and not all at once:
* And those who disbelieve say, "Why was the Qur'an not revealed to him all at once?" Thus [it is] that We may strengthen thereby your heart. And We have spaced it distinctly.[Quran 25:32]

A tsunami (from Japanese: 津波, "harbour wave";English pronunciation: soo-NAH-mee or ) or tidal wave,, also known as a seismic sea wave, is a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or a large lake. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions (including detonations, landslides, glacier calvings, meteorite impacts and other disturbances above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami. Unlike normal ocean waves, which are generated by wind, or tides, which are generated by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun, a tsunami is generated by the displacement of water. Tsunami waves do not resemble normal undersea currents or sea waves because their wavelength is far longer. Rather than appearing as a breaking wave, a tsunami may instead initially resemble a rapidly rising tide. For this reason, it is often referred to as a "tidal wave", although this usage is not favoured by the scientific community because it might give the false impression of a causal relationship between tides and tsunamis. Tsunamis generally consist of a series of waves, with periods ranging from minutes to hours, arriving in a so-called "internal wave train". Wave heights of tens of metres can be generated by large events. Although the impact of tsunamis is limited to coastal areas, their destructive power can be enormous, and they can affect entire ocean basins. The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was among the deadliest natural disasters in human history, with at least 230,000 people killed or missing in 14 countries bordering the Indian Ocean. The Ancient Greek historian Thucydides suggested in his 5th century BC History of the Peloponnesian War that tsunamis were related to submarine earthquakes, but the understanding of tsunamis remained slim until the 20th century and much remains unknown. Major areas of current research include determining why some large earthquakes do not generate tsunamis while other smaller ones do; accurately forecasting the passage of tsunamis across the oceans; and forecasting how tsunami waves interact with shorelines.

A religious denomination is a subgroup within a religion that operates under a common name, tradition, and identity.
