Abraham Lincoln Keister (September 10, 1852 – May 26, 1917) was a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Pennsylvania.

Abraham Kuhn (June 20, 1819 – May 30, 1892) was an American merchant and banker of German-Jewish origins, a founding partner of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. of New York City, one of the great US investment banking firms of the 19th and 20th centuries. Born the son of Simon and Therese Kuhn in Harxheim, a village near Mainz, in the Grand Duchy of Hesse, now part of the Rhineland-Palatinate, Kuhn migrated to New York about 1840, with his brothers Solomon and Max. In 1849, he married Regina Loeb, a sister of his future partner, Solomon Loeb. In 1849 he was earning a living in the US as a peddler. In 1850, he formed a general partnership in a merchandising firm in Lafayette, Indiana, with his brother-in-law Solomon Loeb, and by 1860, they were manufacturers of men's clothing and had a successful dry-goods merchant business in Cincinnati, Ohio. They made their fortune from making and supplying uniforms to the military. In 1865, Kuhn, Loeb, and another man, Samuel Wolff, turned away from the clothing industry to focus their business activities on banking, and in 1867 they established Kuhn, Loeb and Company in New York to take advantage of the economic expansion of the 1860s. By the time Kuhn and Loeb established their new partnership, they were able to capitalize it at $500,000. However, following the death of his wife, in 1869 Kuhn withdrew from active participation in the business and returned to Germany with his young daughters Ida (born 1854) and Emily, settling at number 14 Feuerbachstrasse, Frankfurt, in his native Hesse, a house with a large garden. He remained a partner in Kuhn, Loeb, until 1887. In Frankfurt Kuhn met Jacob Schiff (1847–1920) at the house of a fellow banker, Jacques Dreyfus, and sent Schiff to work for Kuhn, Loeb in New York. Schiff married Therese Loeb, the daughter of Solomon Loeb and of Kuhn's sister Fannie, and went on to grow the firm into the second most prestigious investment bank in the United States, outdone only by Morgan's J. P. Morgan & Co. Kuhn died in 1892 at Frankfurt. He had recently created a charitable foundation known as the Stipendienstiftung in Bad Dürkheim. Kuhn's daughter Ida married Eduard Cohen and was the mother of Emilie (Mimi), Sophie, Edwin, and Albert Cohen, but the two sons died in infancy. Emilie (Mimi) married a notable Egyptologist, Ludwig Borchardt. In 1903, she received an inheritance from Kuhn of 150,000 Marks and spent most of it on buying a villa in Cairo. This was a substantial fortune, then exchangeable for 53.7 kilograms of gold.

The title of the show is a play on drag queen and drag racing, and the title sequence and song "Drag Race" both have a drag-racing theme. To date, there have been thirteen winners of the show: BeBe Zahara Benet, Tyra Sanchez, Raja, Sharon Needles, Jinkx Monsoon, Bianca Del Rio, Violet Chachki, Bob the Drag Queen, Sasha Velour, Aquaria, Yvie Oddly, Jaida Essence Hall and Symone. RuPaul's Drag Race has spanned thirteen seasons and inspired the spin-off shows RuPaul's Drag U, RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars, RuPaul's Drag Race: Untucked, RuPaul's Secret Celebrity Drag Race, RuPaul's Drag Race UK, and RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under. The show has become the highest-rated television program on Logo TV, and airs internationally, including in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, the Netherlands and Israel. The show earned RuPaul five consecutive Emmys (2016 to 2020) for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program. The show itself was awarded as a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program in 2018, 2019 and 2020, and the Outstanding Reality Program award at the 21st GLAAD Media Awards. It has been nominated for four Critics' Choice Television Award including Best Reality Series – Competition and Best Reality Show Host for RuPaul, and was nominated for a Creative Arts Emmy Award for Outstanding Make-up for a Multi-Camera Series or Special (Non-Prosthetic). Later in 2018, the show became the first show to win a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program and a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program in the same year, a feat it has since repeated.

The Silver Line is a system of bus routes in Boston and Chelsea, Massachusetts, operated by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA). It is operated as part of the MBTA bus system, but branded as bus rapid transit (BRT) as part of the MBTA subway system. Six routes are operated as part of two disconnected corridors. As of 2019, weekday ridership on the Silver Line was 39,000. The four Waterfront routes operate out of an underground terminal at South Station and run through the South Boston Piers Transitway – a dedicated bus tunnel through the Seaport District with stations at Courthouse and World Trade Center. At Silver Line Way, they fan out on the surface: the SL1 to Logan International Airport, the SL2 to Design Center, and the SL3 to Chelsea via East Boston. An additional short turn route, SLW, runs only at peak hours between South Station and Silver Line Way. The Waterfront routes use articulated dual-mode buses that operate as electric trolleybuses in the Transitway and conventional diesel buses on the surface. Two routes operate on Washington Street between Nubian station (at Nubian Square in Roxbury) and Downtown Boston. The SL5 terminates at Downtown Crossing and the SL4 on the surface at South Station. The Washington Street routes use articulated diesel hybrid buses. The Washington Street corridor was built to replace the Washington Street Elevated, which was used by the Orange Line rapid transit line until 1987. Initial plans called for a light rail branch of the Green Line, but trolleybuses and later CNG buses were substituted. Planning began in 1987 for mass transit to serve the growing Seaport; a new transit tunnel called the South Boston Piers Transitway was chosen in 1989. It was to run from Boylston to World Trade Center via Chinatown and South Station, though the Boylston–South Station section was later deferred as a separate phase. In 1999, the MBTA designated the Washington Street and Transitway projects as the Silver Line, and planned for the Boylston tunnel extension to include a portal to Washington Street for through-running. Service improvements on Washington Street began in 2001. After years of delays, service through the $624 million Transitway began on December 17, 2004. The connecting tunnel (Phase III) was cancelled in 2010 due to rising costs; a surface route (SL4) was introduced the previous year. The original SL3 route to City Point was discontinued on March 20, 2009. A separate SL3 route to Chelsea – originally planned as part of the cancelled Urban Ring Project – began service on April 21, 2018. Several other Silver Line extensions have been proposed, as has a conversion of the Washington Street corridor to light rail, but most have not been pursued. The Silver Line has been the target of criticism by riders and transportation planners. Much of the system is missing BRT Standard features such as enforced dedicated lanes, off-vehicle fare collection, sheltered stations, and transit signal priority.
