Gábor Andreánszky (botanist)
Baron Gábor Andreánszky de Liptószentandrás (August 1, 1895 – November 20, 1967) was a Hungarian botanist, paleobotanist and explorer. He was the son of politician and MP Gábor Andreánszky (1848-1908).
In 1929 he was appointed professor of botany, and in 1942 ordinary professor. That same year, he was named as chief botanist in the Hungarian National Museum (now Museum of Natural History in Hungary). That position was held until 1945, when he became head of the Department of Botany at the University of Budapest, until 1952. Then, for political reasons (and probably his noble origin) he was banned.
He made several expeditions to the Balkan Peninsula, Corsica, Morocco, Tunisia, Mauritania. He pioneered Paleobotany of Cenozoic, especially Miocene, flora.

André (play)
André; a Tragedy in Five Acts is a play by William Dunlap, first produced at the Park Theatre in New York City on March 30, 1798, by the Old American Company, published in that same year together with a collection of historic documents relating to the case of the title character, Major John André, the British officer who was hanged as a spy on October 2, 1780, for his role in the treason of Benedict Arnold. The play does not go into the historic details, but rather presents a fictionalized account of the American debate over whether to spare or hang him. Only three characters in the play are historic: André himself, George Washington (referred to throughout the text, except once in a passage inserted between the first two performances, simply as "The General"), and Honora Sneyd, who had been briefly engaged to André ten years earlier under the auspices of Anna Seward, who had done much to romanticize the affair in her Monody on Major André of 1781. (Actually, Honora Sneyd had died of consumption some months before André's death, and never went to America.)
Michel (name)
Michel is originally a French name. It can be both a given name and a surname of Hebrew origin, derived from Hebrew: מִיכָאֵל / מיכאל [ˌmixäˈʔel], meaning Who Is Like God? The name is particularly common in French (from where the standard English pronunciation is derived), German, Dutch, and Afrikaans. In these instances Michel is equivalent to the English personal name Michael. Mitxel which is also an equivalent of Michael. When of Czech, Slovak or Polish origin it is a variant of the personal name Michal. When of Greek origin, the surname Michel is a shortened form of various patronymic derivatives of Michael. Examples of such are Michelakis, Michelakakis, or Michelakos.

Míchel (footballer)
José Miguel González Martín del Campo (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈmitʃel]; born 23 March 1963), known as Míchel, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a right midfielder, and the current coach of French club Olympique de Marseille.
He was most noted for his stellar crossing ability, also contributing with a fair share of goals. During his career he represented mainly Real Madrid – over a decade – achieving great team and individual success.
Míchel gained nearly 70 caps for Spain from 1985 to 1992, and represented the nation in two World Cups (scoring four goals in the 1990 edition) and one European Championship. He started working as a manager in 2005, notably leading Olympiacos to two Superleague Greece accolades.
Club career
The son of a footballer who had to retire from the game at 27 after a road accident, Míchel was born in Madrid and joined Real Madrid at the age of thirteen, his technique and physicality on the pitch quickly standing out. He moved quickly through the ranks to the first team, appearing – and scoring – once in the 1981–82 season, in a 2–1 away win against CD Castellón on 11 April 1982.
