Fortune (originally spelled Fourtune) was a professional wrestling alliance in the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) promotion. Originally consisting of leader Ric Flair, A.J. Styles, James Storm, Kazarian, and Robert Roode, the group was modeled and named after Flair's former alliance, the Four Horsemen. The group later also came to include Christopher Daniels, Douglas Williams, and Matt Morgan.
On the January 4, 2010, live, three-hour episode of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling's Impact! television show, Ric Flair made his debut for the company, observing the main event match between A.J. Styles and Kurt Angle. On January 17 at the Genesis pay-per-view, Flair helped Styles defeat Angle to retain the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, and in the process turned both himself and Styles heel. On the following episode of Impact!, Flair announced that he was going to take Styles under his wing and make him the next Nature Boy. On the February 24 episode of Impact! Flair and Styles were joined by Desmond Wolfe and in the weeks leading to Lockdown Beer Money, Inc. (James Storm and Robert Roode) and Sting were added to the group to complete Team Flair for the annual Lethal Lockdown match. On April 18 at Lockdown, Team Flair was defeated by Team Hogan (Abyss, Jeff Hardy, Jeff Jarrett and Rob Van Dam) and the following night on Impact! Styles lost the TNA World Heavyweight Championship to Van Dam. After Lockdown Sting left the group and went on to feud with Jarrett, while the rest of Team Flair remained intact.
Fortune (c. 1743 – 1798) was an African-American slave who achieved posthumous notability over the transfer of his remains from a museum storage room to a state funeral.
Under the laws of the 18th century American colonial period, Fortune, his wife Dinah, and their four children were the property of Dr. Preserved Porter, a physician based in Waterbury, Connecticut. Fortune drowned in an accident in the Naugatuck River in 1798, and Dr. Porter dissected his body and preserved his skeleton for anatomic study. The Porter family held Fortune’s remains before donating them to the Mattatuck Museum in Waterbury, where they were on display through the 1970s, after which point they were put in storage.
In 1999, the museum received national attention when media coverage highlighted the discovery of Fortune’s remains. Although the skeleton was initially dubbed "Larry," as that name was written on its skull, a later investigation by the African-American Historic Project Committee determined the skeleton belonged to Fortune. The museum created a special exhibit in honor of Fortune that detailed the lives of African-American slaves in the early part of the 19th century.
Fortune is both a surname and a given name. Notable people with the name include:

"STARS" is a song by Superfly and Tortoise Matsumoto. The first new single from Superfly in nearly a year and her first collaboration since "I Spy I Spy" with JET.
Shiho Ochi of Superfly stated at one point that she always wanted to work with Tortoise Matsumoto of Ulfuls, and when Matsumoto was given the offer to write the theme song for Fuji Television's coverage of the 2012 Summer Olympics, he contacted Ochi to perform a duet with him. The song's theme is "universal love" to match with the global community of the Olympic Games.
In the Oricon's weekly ranking, "STARS" debuted at 15, and on the Japan Hot 100, it peaked at the number 5 spot.
All songs written and composed by Tortoise Matsumoto, arranged by Koichi Tsutaya.
"Stars" is the second single from Hum's 1995 album You'd Prefer an Astronaut. The single was modestly successful in the United States, peaking at number eleven on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks, and at number twenty-eight on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks. The single was vital in helping You'd Prefer an Astronaut sell over 250,000 copies. In addition, the song has digitally sold 26,000 copies, which Billboard estimates is largely due to a Cadillac commercial that used the song. In the Beavis and Butt-head episode, "The Future of Beavis and Butt-head", the duo watch the video and mistake it as being already over, even though it was just beginning.
A music video was released in 1995 that featured the band performing the song on a darkened stage.
The following songs are on the CD single:
American Metalcore band Bleeding Through covered the song for the 2006 compilation album Punk Goes 90's.

This is a list of craters on Mars. There are hundreds of thousands of impact crater on Mars, but only some of them have names. This list here only contains named Martian craters starting with the letter H – N (see also lists for A – G and O – Z).
Large Martian craters (greater than 60 km in diameter) are named after famous scientists and science fiction authors; smaller ones (less than 60 km in diameter) get their names from towns on Earth. Craters cannot be named for living people, and small crater names are not intended to be commemorative - that is, a small crater isn't actually named after a specific town on Earth, but rather its name comes at random from a pool of terrestrial place names, with some exceptions made for craters near landing sites. Latitude and longitude are given as planetographic coordinates with west longitude.

Omar Ibn Said was 37 years old when he was taken from his West African home and transported to Charleston, South Carolina, as a slave in the 1800s. Now, his one-of-a-kind autobiographical manuscript has been translated from its original Arabic and housed at the Library of Congress, where it “annihilates” the conventional narrative of African slaves as uneducated and uncultured.

The topic of slavery in the Bible has been a hotly contested issue for centuries. In contemporary society, confusion typically stems from its conflation with more modern forms of slavery. This video briefly touches on some of those stark differences, and speaks to the importance of reading antebellum slave narratives in discussion of this topic.
