Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The potlatch celebrated a change of rank or status with dancing, feasting, and gifts. Like many other societies, [the Indigenous peoples] of the Northwest Coast associated prestige with wealth, and the potlatcher gained prestige according to the liberality of his giving. A true chief "always died poor" because he had potlatched his wealth, but he died rich in the rank and honor that he had accumulated for himself through giving and that he would pass on to his family, heirs, and descendants. 4, record 1, English, - potlatch

La cérémonie du potlatch […] fait partie intégrante de la gouvernance, de la culture et des traditions spirituelles de diverses Premières nations vivant sur la côte nord-ouest […] le potlatch est une cérémonie de remise de cadeaux ayant pour fonction de redistribuer la richesse. Au fil du temps, certains individus ayant un statut important accumulent des objets de valeur […] Ces biens sont plus tard offerts en cadeau aux invités ou même parfois détruits lors d'une cérémonie grandiose servant à démontrer la grande générosité, le statut et le prestige de l'hôte par rapport à ses rivaux. En plus de ses fonctions de redistribution économique et de filiation, le potlatch maintient la solidarité communautaire et les relations hiérarchiques au sein des bandes et des nations et entre celles-ci. Dans le cadre d'une cérémonie très élaborée, le potlatch a pour fonction de conférer un statut et un rang à des individus, à des groupes apparentés et à des clans, ainsi que de revendiquer des noms, des pouvoirs et des droits sur des territoires de chasse et de pêche. 3, record 1, French, - potlatch

The Dryden Flight Research Center(DFRC), located inside Edwards Air Force Base, is an aeronautical research center operated by NASA. On March 26, 1976 it was named in honor of the late Hugh L. Dryden, a prominent aeronautical engineer who at the time of his death in 1965 was NASA's deputy administrator. First known as the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics Muroc Flight Test Unit, the DFRC has also been known as the High-Speed Flight Research Station(1949) and the High-Speed Station(1954). Dryden is NASA's premier site for aeronautical research and operates some of the most advanced aircraft in the world. 1, record 4, English, - Dryden%20Flight%20Research%20Center

Saint Joseph's Day, commonly called the Feast of St. Joseph or in some churches, the Solemnity of Saint Joseph is marked in some Christian churches in honor of Saint Joseph, spouse of Mary and foster-father of Jesus. It is a Solemnity in the Roman Catholic Church, and a feast or festival in the Lutheran Church, and a feast in the provinces of the Anglican Communion, falling on 19 March. In the Orthodox Church, the Feast falls on the Sunday after Christmas. Saint Bernardino of Siena was the main proponent of Joseph's veneration in the western Church, where his feast day was first celebrated in 1621. In 1870, Pope Pius IX declared Joseph the patron of the Universal Church, and promoted the "Patronage" feast(later Solemnity, before the Vatican II calendar's use of such term) of Saint Joseph on the third Wednesday after Easter; this was replaced in 1955 by the feast of St. Joseph the Worker. As Joseph was a carpenter(or a builder), he is also the patron saint of workers. 1, record 5, English, - Saint%20Joseph%27s%20Day

a time period of 7, 980 Julian years used, chiefly by astronomers, for counting back over long periods of time to determine how many days separate any two events. Each day in the Julian period is consecutively numbered from the beginning of the period(Jan. 1, 4713 B-C.), so that the number of days between two events can be calculated simply by subtracting the Julian number of the first event from that of the second event. The period of 7, 980 years was chosen because it is the product of the numbers of years in the solar cycle(28), lunar cycle(19), and the Roman cycle of indiction(15). The Julian period was proposed by Joseph Justus Scaliger in 1582 and named in honor of his father. 2, record 7, English, - Julian%20period
