Wild rosemary refers to various species of flowering shrubs that belong to the family Ericaceae. These plants are native to parts of Europe and Africa and are known for their strong scent similar to rosemary. They are often used for medicinal purposes, with some species also used in culinary applications. Despite its common name, wild rosemary is not closely related to the culinary herb rosemary. Notable species include Eriocephalus africanus and Rhododendron tomentosum.

In a written language, a logogram, logograph, or lexigraph is a written character that represents a word or morpheme. Chinese characters (pronounced hanzi in Mandarin, kanji in Japanese, hanja in Korean) are generally logograms, as are many hieroglyphic and cuneiform characters. The use of logograms in writing is called logography, and a writing system that is based on logograms is called a logography or logographic system. All known logographies have some phonetic component, generally based on the rebus principle.Alphabets and syllabaries are distinct from logographies in that they use individual written characters to represent sounds directly. Such characters are called phonograms in linguistics. Unlike logograms, phonograms do not have any inherent meaning. Writing language in this way is called phonemic writing or orthographic writing.

Araucaria bidwillii, commonly known as the bunya pine or bunya-bunya and sometimes referred to as the false monkey puzzle tree, is a large evergreen coniferous tree in the plant family Araucariaceae. It is found naturally in south-east Queensland Australia and two small disjunct populations in north eastern Queenslands World Heritage listed Wet Tropics. There are many old planted specimens in New South Wales, and around the Perth, Western Australia metropolitan area. They can grow up to 30–45 m (98–148 ft). The tallest presently living is one in Bunya Mountains National Park, Queensland which was reported by Robert Van Pelt in January 2003 to be 169 feet (51.5 m) in height.The bunya pine is the last surviving species of the Section Bunya of the genus Araucaria. This section was diverse and widespread during the Mesozoic with some species having cone morphology similar to A. bidwillii, which appeared during the Jurassic. Fossils of Section Bunya are found in South America and Europe. The scientific name honours the botanist John Carne Bidwill, who came across it in 1842 and sent the first specimens to Sir William Hooker in the following year.

Giovanni Battista Montini was an Italian priest of the Roman Catholic Church who served as the Pope from 1963 to 1978 under the name Pope Paul VI. He is largely recognized for his efforts in closing the Second Vatican Council, from where he implemented its several religious and institutional reforms. Under his papacy, the mass started to be conducted in local languages instead of Latin, and relationships among different religions improved. He was canonized as a Saint by Pope Francis in 2018.
