Nicanor (in Greek Nικάνωρ; died 330 BC), son of Parmenion, was a distinguished officer in the service of Alexander the Great. He is first mentioned at the passage of the Danube river, in the expedition of Alexander against the Getae, 335 BC, on which occasion he led the phalanx. But during the expedition into Asia he appears to have uniformly held the chief command of the body of troops called the Hypaspists (υπασπισται) or foot-guards, numbering three units of 1,000 men.

Nicanor (Latin; Greek: Νικάνωρ Nikanōr) or Nikanor, of Stageira in Macedonia, was despatched by Alexander the Great to proclaim at the Olympic games of 324 BCE the decree for the recall of the exiles throughout the Greek cities.It is perhaps the same person whom we find at an earlier period entrusted with the command of the fleet during the siege of Miletus. At least it seems probably that the Nicanor there mentioned is not the son of Parmenion; he may, however, be identical with the Nicanor who was satrap of Media under Antigonus.

1570s, originally "one of the aboriginal peoples discovered in the Western Hemisphere by Europeans," from Modern Latin Americanus, from America (q.v.).The meaning of the word American in the English language varies according to the historical, geographical, and political context in which it is used. American is derived from America, a term originally denoting all of the New World (also called the Americas). In some expressions, it retains this Pan-American sense, but its usage has evolved over time and, for various historical reasons, the word came to denote people or things specifically from the United States of America.In modern English, Americans generally refers to someone or something related to the United States of America; among native English speakers this usage is almost universal, with any other use of the term requiring specification. However, this usage is seen by some as a semantic "misappropriation" by those who argue that "American" should be widened in English to also include people or things from anywhere in the American continent. Similar semantic contention exists concerning the use of English words like "Spanish", "British", "Scandinavian", etc.The word can be used as either an adjective or a noun (viz. a demonym). In adjectival use, it means "of or relating to the United States"; for example, "Elvis Presley was an American singer" or "the man prefers American English". In its noun form, the word generally means a resident or citizen of the US, or occasionally someone whose ethnic identity is simply "American". The noun is rarely used in American English to refer to people not connected to the United States. When used with a grammatical qualifier, the adjective American can mean "of or relating to the Americas", as in Latin American or Indigenous American. Less frequently, the adjective can take this meaning without a qualifier, as in "American Spanish dialects and pronunciation differ by country", or the name of the Organization of American States. A third use of the term pertains specifically to the indigenous peoples of the Americas, for instance, "In the 16th century, many Americans died from imported diseases during the European conquest"."Hyphenated Americans" such as "African-Americans" likewise refers exclusively to people in or from the United States of America, as does the prefix "Americo-". For instance, the Americo-Liberians and their language Merico derive their name from the fact that they are descended from African-American settlers, i.e. former slaves in the United States of America.

As his brother Philotas did that of the εταιρoι, or horse-guards. We find him mentioned, as holding this post, in the three great battles of the Granicus, of Issus, and of Gaugamela. He afterwards accompanied Alexander with a part of the troops under his command, during the rapid march of the king in pursuit of the king Darius III Codomannus (330 BC); which was probably his last service, as he died of disease shortly afterwards, during the advance of Alexander into Bactria. His death at this juncture was considered a fortunate event, as it prevented him from participating either in the designs or the fate of his brother Philotas.

Executive Order 13769 —entitled "Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States"— is an executive order signed by U.S. President Donald Trump on January 27, 2017. Part of Trump's immigration-related campaign promises, the order established several provisions regarding entry into the United States, on the basis that measures taken by the government "did not stop attacks by foreign nationals who were admitted to the United States."The order's most prominent provisions suspended the entry into the U.S by certain foreign nationals. Specifically, the order limited refugee arrivals to 50,000 and suspended the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) for 120 days, after which the program will be conditionally resumed for individual countries while prioritizing refugee claims made by individuals from minority religions. The order also indefinitely suspended the entry of Syrian refugees. Further, the order suspended the entry—regardless of valid non-diplomatic visas, which were all revoked—of alien nationals from seven countries for 90 days, after which the list of countries will be updated. The initial seven countries are Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. The order allows exceptions to these suspensions on a case-by-case basis. Based on this allowance, the Department of Homeland Security exempted U.S. lawful permanent residents (green card holders), citing national interest provisions in the executive order.Immediately after the order's enactment, dozens of travelers were detained and held for hours without access to family, friends, or legal assistance. According to The Washington Post, the travel suspensions can potentially impact around 90,000 people, which is the number of immigrant and non-immigrant visas issued to people from the seven affected countries in fiscal year 2015. On February 3, the U.S. Justice Department said that at least 100,000 visas were revoked in the first week following the order, in response to a question from a judge in court. On the same day, the State Department put the number at "fewer than 60,000".Legal challenges to the order were filed the following day on January 28. Several lawsuits were filed, which argued that the order, or actions taken pursuant to the order, violated the U.S. Constitution, multiple federal statutes, and American treaty obligations. In response, several federal courts issued emergency orders halting detentions and expulsions pending final rulings. A seven day restraining order issued by a court in Boston, that allowed lawful immigrants from the seven barred nations be notified that they may enter the U.S. through Logan Airport, is set to expire on February 5, 2017. After the Boston ruling, the Department of Homeland Security said that it would continue to enforce all of the executive order and that "prohibited travel will remain prohibited." The order's provisions were enjoined from being implemented in the case of State of Washington v. Trump. On February 3, a district court ruling in Washington state blocked major provisions of the order, including the 7-country visa travel ban and refugee suspension, except the 50,000 limit. The following day, Homeland Security and State Departments stopped enforcing the order and reinstated the revoked visas.Domestically, the order prompted criticism from Democratic and Republican members of Congress and from American universities, business leaders, Catholic bishops, and Jewish organizations. Some 1,000 U.S. diplomats signed a dissent cable opposing the executive order, setting a record. Public opinion was divided on the subject, with initial national polls yielding inconsistent results. Protests against the order erupted in several U.S. airports and cities.Internationally, the order prompted broad condemnation, including from longstanding U.S. allies, although some international figures expressed support for it. The travel ban and suspension of refugee admissions was criticized by top United Nations officials and by a group of 40 Nobel laureates and thousands of other academics. Dozens of medical and scientific groups protested the order as well.

Timothy Leroy Lincecum (/ˈlɪnsᵻkʌm/ LIN-sə-kʌm; born June 15, 1984), nicknamed "The Freak", is an American professional baseball starting pitcher who is a free agent. He pitched in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the San Francisco Giants from 2007 to 2015 and for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in 2016.

Pitching for the Washington Huskies, he won the 2006 Golden Spikes Award. That year, Lincecum became the first Washington Husky to be selected in the first round of an MLB Draft, when the San Francisco Giants selected him tenth overall.Nicknamed "The Freak" for his ability to generate powerful pitches from his athletic but slight physique and "Big-Time Timmy Jim" for his clutch pitching, the 5'11" 170 pound power pitcher led the National League in strikeouts and strikeouts per nine innings pitched for three consecutive years in a span from 2008 to 2010 as well as shutouts in 2009, helping Lincecum win consecutive Cy Young Awards in 2008 and 2009 to become the first MLB pitcher to win the award in his first two full seasons. He has also appeared in four consecutive All-Star Games, from 2008 through 2011. In 2013, Lincecum pitched the first Petco Park no-hitter against the San Diego Padres. He repeated the feat again the following year, also against the Padres, becoming the first pitcher in MLB history to secure the first no-hit repeat against the same team in consecutive seasons. Lincecum is one of only two pitchers in MLB history to win multiple World Series championships, multiple Cy Young Awards, throw multiple no-hitters, and be elected to multiple All-Star Games, the other being Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax.

Tusks are elongated, continuously growing front teeth, usually but not always in pairs, that protrude well beyond the mouth of certain mammal species. They are most commonly canines, as with warthogs, pig, and walruses, or, in the case of elephants, elongated incisors. In most tusked species both the males and the females have tusks although the males' are larger. Tusks are generally curved, though the narwhal's sole tusk is straight and has a helical structure. In the elephant, the tusks were originally second incisors. Continuous growth is enabled by formative tissues in the apical openings of the roots of the teeth.
