Eta Cassiopeiae (η Cas, η Cassiopeiae) is a star system in the northern circumpolar constellation of Cassiopeia. It has the traditional name Achird. Based upon parallax measurements, the distance to this system is 19.42 light-years (5.95 parsecs) from Earth.
In Chinese, 王良 (Wáng Liáng), meaning Wang Liang, refers to an asterism consisting of η Cassiopeiae, β Cassiopeiae, κ Cassiopeiae, α Cassiopeiae and λ Cassiopeiae. Consequently, η Cassiopeiae itself is known as 王良三 (Wáng Liáng sān, English: the Third Star of Wang Liang.)
The primary star in the Eta Cassiopeiae system has a stellar classification of G0 V, which makes it a G-type main-sequence star like the Sun. It therefore resembles what our Sun might look like if we were to observe it from Eta Cassiopeiae. The star has 97% of the mass of the Sun and 101% of the Sun's radius. It is of apparent magnitude 3.44, radiating 129% of the luminosity of the Sun from its outer envelope at an effective temperature of 6,087 K. It appears to be rotating at a leisurely rate, with a projected rotational velocity of 3.15 km s−1.
YZ Cassiopeiae (21 Cas) is a star system 89 parsecs (290 light years) away from Earth, in the constellation Cassiopeia. It comprises three stars: an eclipsing Algol-type binary and a visually fainter star about 3000 AU distant.
The primary star in the YZ Cassiopeiae system is a white subgiant (main sequence) star of spectral type A1m and 2.31 solar masses (M☉) with a less massive main sequence dwarf star of type F2V and 1.35 M☉. The apparent magnitude of the eclipsing binary varies from 5.65 to 6.05 with a period of 4.4672 days. Combined, they appear to have a spectral type of A2IV.
The binary has a dimmer (magnitude 9.7 according to Norton, or 10.5 by SIMBAD) companion of 0.8 M☉ orbiting with a period of about 86 580 years.

Caș (Romanian pronunciation: [kaʃ]) is a type of semi-soft white fresh cheese produced in Romania. It is unsalted (sometimes lightly salted), made out of sheep milk or cow milk. If stored in brine, caș turns into telemea after 2–3 weeks.
Caș cheese is also used to make other types of cheese such as Brânză de burduf and Caşcaval.

Blade is a crowdsourced, short-distance aviation company based in New York City. Blade allows users to plan their own crowdsourced flights or purchase a seat on pre-existing flights between Manhattan, the Hamptons, Mohegan Sun Casino, and major surrounding airports. All Blade flights are operated by FAA-certified and DOT-licensed air carriers.
Launching Memorial Day (May 26) of 2014, Blade began arranging flights to the Hamptons. Originally offering three routes, with service between Manhattan, Southampton, East Hampton, and Montauk, all operated by Liberty Helicopters.
In November 2014, Blade announced Blade Bounce, which arranges service between Manhattan's West 30th and East 34th Street Heliports and surrounding public and private metropolitan airports. Airports include New Jersey's Teterboro Airport, the largest private airport servicing New York City, John F. Kennedy International Airport, Newark International Airport, and LaGuardia Airport. Once requested, a helicopter is made available within 20 minutes. The trip itself takes approximately six minutes, versus roughly an hour by car.
Blade II (also known as Blade II: Bloodhunt) is a 2002 American superhero film based on the fictional Marvel Comics character Blade. It is the sequel of the first film and the second part of the Blade film series, followed by Blade: Trinity. It was written by David S. Goyer, who also wrote the previous film, directed by Guillermo del Toro, and had Wesley Snipes returning as the lead character and producer.
The film follows the dhampir Blade in his continuing effort to protect humans from vampires. The movie received generally mixed to positive reviews, but became the best-reviewed and the highest grossing film in Blade series; it also introduced the cinema public to Del Toro's traits.
Over the two years since the death of Deacon Frost, Blade (Wesley Snipes), has been trying to find his mentor Whistler (Kris Kristofferson), who survived his suicide attempt. With the aid of Scud (Norman Reedus), his new weapon designer, Blade tracks Whistler to eastern Europe; where he is in possession of a large vampire gang. Interrogating the last-surviving member, Rush (Santiago Segura), Blade finds Whistler locked in a tank and kept alive to torture. Blade brings Whistler back to the lair, and rids him of his vampirism with a cure developed by Dr. Karen Jenson.
Product Red, styled as (PRODUCT)RED, is a licensed brand that seeks to engage the private sector in raising awareness and funds to help eliminate HIV/AIDS in Africa. It is licensed to partner companies including Nike, American Express (UK), Apple Inc., The Coca-Cola Company, Starbucks, Converse, Electronic Arts, Head, Bugaboo, Penguin Classics (UK & International), Gap, Armani, Hallmark (US), SAP and Beats Electronics (Beats by Dr. Dre). The concept was founded in 2006 by U2 frontman and activist, Bono, together with Bobby Shriver of the ONE/DATA. The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria is a recipient of (RED) money.
As part of a new business model, each partner company creates a product with the Product Red logo. In return for the opportunity to increase revenue through the Product Red license, a 50 percent of the profit gained by each partner is donated to the Global Fund. As Product Red is a private company, a portion of the contributions received from the partner brands is assigned as profit. Such an amalgamation of humanitarian aid and for-profit businesses is one example of "ethical consumerism."
