The Far East is a geographical region that includes the Russian Far East, Eastern and Southeastern Asia. South Asia is sometimes also included for economic and cultural reasons. The term "Far East" came into use in European geopolitical discourse in the 12th century, denoting the Far East as the "farthest" of the three "easts", beyond the Near East and the Middle East. Likewise, in Qing Dynasty of the 19th and early 20th centuries the term "Tàixī (泰西)" – i.e. anything further west than the Arab world – was used to refer to the Western countries.

Nacre ( NAY-kər also NAK-rə), also known as mother of pearl, is an organic–inorganic composite material produced by some molluscs as an inner shell layer; it is also the material of which pearls are composed. It is strong, resilient, and iridescent. Nacre is found in some of the most ancient lineages of bivalves, gastropods, and cephalopods. However, the inner layer in the great majority of mollusc shells is porcellaneous, not nacreous, and this usually results in a non-iridescent shine, or more rarely in non-nacreous iridescence such as flame structure as is found in conch pearls.

He retired in the Summer of 2012 after serving as the Coast Guard Academy's Chief of Personnel and Support Services (2010-2012). Fitzgerald holds the rank of captain. After graduating from Chaminade High School in Mineola, New York, he attended the Coast Guard Academy in 1987 where he earned a bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering. Upon graduation, Fitzgerald served as a Deck Watch Officer on board the USCGC Midgett (WHEC-726) homeported in Alameda, California. Following his service on board Midgett, he was assigned as Commanding Officer of Coast Guard LORAN Station on Kure Atoll, Hawaii. He then served as a controller at the USCG District 9 Command Center.

In 1994, he was selected by the Coast Guard to attend Boston University where he earned a master's degree in Mass Communications and then reported to Juneau, Alaska to serve as the Seventeenth Coast Guard District Public Affairs Officer (1996). From 1997-2000 He served concurrently as the Atlantic Area and Fifth Coast Guard District Public Affairs Officer (PAO) in Portsmouth, Virginia. As PAO, he supervised nine public affairs specialists and the office generated over 750 press releases and developed a prototype web site that served as the Coast Guard standard. Under his guidance, he and his staff earned two consecutive Commander Jim Simpson Awards for overall excellence as the highest performing Public Affairs unit in the Coast Guard. It was during this tour that he served as on-scene communications director under Admiral Larrabee for the multi-agency search and recovery efforts after the tragic plane crash of John F. Kennedy Jr. Fitzgerald was personally recognized as a recipient of the Coast Guard's Alex Haley Award (honorable mention) for authorship.

He then reported to Washington, D.C. to serve as the Press Secretary for the Commandant of the Coast Guard. Following this, Fitzgerald returned to sea again as the Commanding Officer of the USCGC Confidence (WMEC-619). On board Confidence, Fitzgerald played an integral part in the Hurricane Katrina disaster relief effort. He safely navigated Confidence through Hurricane Katrina after rescuing 20 migrants. Confidence was the second major vessel to reach the Gulf Coast after Katrina made landfall restoring operational capability to Coast Guard Station Pascagoula, Mississippi. The ship distributed two tons of relief supplies and served as the command and control platform for all state and federal response assets at the mouth of the Mississippi River which was instrumental in re-establishing commerce flow in the central United States. During his tour as Commanding Officer, Confidence played a key role in a multi-unit, joint inter-agency counter-drug effort resulting in the seizure of 2,000 pounds of cocaine. In two years on board Confidence, the ship safely interdicted, rescued and/or processed over 1,200 illegal migrants from Haiti, Cuba and the Dominican Republic.

The 100 metres, or 100-metre dash, is a sprint race in track and field competitions. The shortest common outdoor running distance, it is one of the most popular and prestigious events in the sport of athletics. It has been contested at the Summer Olympics since 1896 for men and since 1928 for women. The World Championships 100 metres has been contested since 1983. The reigning 100 m Olympic or world champion is often named "the fastest man or woman in the world". Christian Coleman and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce are the reigning world champions; Usain Bolt and Elaine Thompson are the men's and women's Olympic champions. On an outdoor 400 metres running track, the 100 m is run on the home straight, with the start usually being set on an extension to make it a straight-line race. There are three instructions given to the runners immediately before and at the beginning of the race: "on your marks," "set," and the firing of the starter's pistol. The runners move to the starting blocks when they hear the 'on your marks' instruction. The following instruction, to adopt the 'set' position, allows them to adopt a more efficient starting posture and isometrically preload their muscles: this will help them to start faster. A race-official then fires the starter's pistol to signal the race beginning and the sprinters stride forwards from the blocks. Sprinters typically reach top speed after somewhere between 50 and 60 m. Their speed then slows towards the finish line. The 10-second barrier has historically been a barometer of fast men's performances, while the best female sprinters take eleven seconds or less to complete the race. The current men's world record is 9.58 seconds, set by Jamaica's Usain Bolt in 2009, while the women's world record of 10.49 seconds set by American Florence Griffith-Joyner in 1988 remains unbroken. The 100 m (109.361 yards) emerged from the metrication of the 100 yards (91.44 m), a now defunct distance originally contested in English-speaking countries. The event is largely held outdoors as few indoor facilities have a 100 m straight. US athletes have won the men's Olympic 100 metres title more times than any other country, 16 out of the 28 times that it has been run. US women have also dominated the event winning 9 out of 21 times.

Enrique Miguel Iglesias Preysler (Spanish pronunciation: [enˈrike miˈɣel iˈɣlesjas ˈpɾejzleɾ]; born 8 May 1975) is a Spanish singer, songwriter, actor, and record producer who is known as the King of Latin Pop. He began his career during the mid-1990s on American Spanish-language record label Fonovisa Records under the stage name Enrique Martinez, before switching to his notable surname Iglesias. His father Julio Iglesias was a very successful singer and Iglesias wanted to make it on his own without receiving benefits from his family name.

In 2015, he parted ways with Universal Music Group after being there for over a decade. He signed with Sony Music and his subsequent albums were to be released by Sony Music Latin in Spanish and RCA Records in English.

Iglesias also has 14 number-ones on Billboard's Dance charts, more than any other male artist. In December 2016, Billboard magazine named him the 14th most successful and top male dance club artist of all time.

An RNA vaccine or mRNA (messenger RNA) vaccine is a new type of vaccine that inserts fragments of mRNA into human cells in order to reprogram them to produce pathogen antigens (e.g. viral protein spikes or cancer antigens), which then stimulate an adaptive immune response against the pathogen. The mRNA molecule is usually held in a drug delivery vehicle, such as lipid nanoparticles, to improve stability, and aid its absorption into the human cells. The advantages of RNA vaccines over traditional protein vaccines include production speed and cost, and more cellular immunity. The fragility of the mRNA molecule requires cold chain distribution and low temperature storage, and may impair long-term efficacy. Up until November 2020, no mRNA vaccine, drug, or technology platform, had ever been approved for use in humans, and before 2020, mRNA was only considered a theoretical possibility for effective use in humans. As of November 2020, there were two novel mRNA vaccines awaiting emergency use authorization as potential COVID-19 vaccines, MRNA-1273 from Moderna, and BNT162b2 from a BioNTech/Pfizer partnership. Global regulators have had to balance the lack of medium to longer-term data on these novel mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, with the urgent need to address the global coronavirus pandemic, for which the faster production capability of mRNA vaccines is valuable.

Nacre ( NAY-kər also NAK-rə), also known as mother of pearl, is an organic–inorganic composite material produced by some molluscs as an inner shell layer; it is also the material of which pearls are composed. It is strong, resilient, and iridescent. Nacre is found in some of the most ancient lineages of bivalves, gastropods, and cephalopods. However, the inner layer in the great majority of mollusc shells is porcellaneous, not nacreous, and this usually results in a non-iridescent shine, or more rarely in non-nacreous iridescence such as flame structure as is found in conch pearls. The outer layer of cultured pearls and the inside layer of pearl oyster and freshwater pearl mussel shells are made of nacre. Other mollusc families that have a nacreous inner shell layer include marine gastropods such as the Haliotidae, the Trochidae and the Turbinidae.

Development of the Commercial Crew Program began in the second round of the Commercial Crew Development (CCDev) program, which was rescoped from a technology development program for human spaceflight to a competitive development program that would produce the spacecraft to be used in the Commercial Crew Program. Starting in 2011, NASA procured concepts from private vendors for crew vehicles to carry US and international astronauts to and from the International Space Station (ISS). Operational contracts to fly astronauts were awarded in September 2014 to SpaceX and Boeing. An uncrewed test flight was performed by each company in 2019. SpaceX's Crew Dragon Demo-1 flight of Dragon 2 arrived at the International Space Station in March 2019 and returned via splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean. Due to a Mission Elapsed Time anomaly, the Boeing Orbital Flight Test of the CST-100 Starliner spacecraft failed to reach the station in December 2019, but completed some test objectives and performed a safe airbag landing. Due to this, Boeing and NASA have agreed to refly the OFT mission in the fall of 2020. Pending completion of the demonstration flights, each company is contracted to supply six flights to ISS. The first group of astronauts was announced on 3 August 2018. Both companies were expected to launch astronauts from the US starting with SpaceX in May 2020 but on 6 April 2020 it was announced that Boeing would redo their Orbital Flight Test meaning that the Crew Flight Test would launch in 2021.

An RNA vaccine or mRNA (messenger RNA) vaccine is a new type of vaccine that inserts fragments of mRNA into human cells in order to reprogram them to produce pathogen antigens (e.g. viral protein spikes or cancer antigens), which then stimulate an adaptive immune response against the pathogen. The mRNA molecule is usually held in a drug delivery vehicle, such as lipid nanoparticles, to improve stability, and aid its absorption into the human cells. The advantages of RNA vaccines over traditional protein vaccines include production speed and cost, and more cellular immunity. The fragility of the mRNA molecule requires cold chain distribution and low temperature storage, and may impair long-term efficacy.
