What's with the season framework in the global population map?

I wasn't privy to the discussions about Blair as a musician so I don't know the context overall, but, basically, in the wake of returning veterans from the Bengal War in the late 70s and early 80s, the sounds of Nusantaran gamelan make their way into British popular music for a bit, getting...

Who gets into the Congressional consideration? Should be the top five vote-getters, so I presume it's John Adams, Jefferson, Pickney, Burr, and Samuel Adams.

"If I said the Tea Set knew what they were doing, I would overstate at best and lie at worst. If they existed much earlier, they would collapse under the weight of school and economy. However, in 1966, the Liberal government of Britain began funding up-and-coming artists, and the Tea Set took...

The Delaware State House election of 1938, the start of a Republican winning streak that would last through 1952. Republicans: 21 seats, 57.15% among 34 candidates Democrats: 14 seats, 41.16% among 33 candidates Independent Republicans: 1.33% among 10 candidates Prohibitionists: .21% among 8...
