    The .284 Winchester is an example of a commercially unsuccessful cartridge that has enjoyed a resurgence in interest due to interest from long-range competitive shooters.

    Interstate 285 (I-285) is an Interstate Highway loop encircling Atlanta, Georgia, for 63.98 miles (102.97 km).[1] I-285 is also un-signed State Route 407, and is colloquially referred to as the Perimeter. Suburban sprawl has made it one of the most heavily traveled roadways in the United States, and portions of the highway slow, sometimes to a crawl, during rush hour. It is also signed as Atlanta Bypass on Interstate 75 and Interstate 85.
    It is estimated that more than two million people use the highway each day. It is by far the busiest Interstate in the Atlanta metropolitan area

    The Ferrari GTO (often referred to as Ferrari 288 GTO) is an exotic homologation of the Ferrari 308 GTB produced from 1984 through 1985, designated GT for Gran Turismo and O for Omologato (homologated in Italian).

    Hawk 289 Series
    Based on the type of car seen in the sixties, both on the roads and in competition, the Hawk 289 series provides a range of body styles on a common chassis design. Whether you just want a top class kit with this style and appearance, or one which has all the motive power of the originals, Hawk Cars can provide a solution.

    With a large number of manufacturers producing 427 replicas, varying greatly in both originality of shape and quality of manufacture, the absence from the market of a high quality, accurate replica of the earlier 289 model was very evident, and it is to the discerning band of people who appreciate the classic lines and subtle styling of this car, we offer the elegant Hawk 289 and its stablemates.

    Hawk Cars have been responsible for the highly acclaimed HF2000 and 3000 replicas for many years, and the same high, aesthetic and engineering standards have been applied to the Hawk 289 range. In the Hawk 289 range, we feel that we have produced cars which offer Quality, Authenticity and Performance - Cars for the Classic Connoisseur.

    292

    Document number 292 is the number given to the birch bark letter which is the oldest known document in any Finnic language. The document is dated to the beginning of the 13th century. It was found in 1957 by a Soviet expedition, led by Artemiy Artsikhovsky in the Nerevsky excavation on the left coast side of Novgorod.

    The language used in the document is thought to be an archaic form of the language spoken in Olonets Karelia, a dialect of the Karelian language, although the exact form is difficult to determine as Finnic dialects were only developing during that period.

    Route 293 (Israel) is a rural road that connects Highway 40 to Netivot and to Route 34 and Highway 25. Many Kibbutzim and Moshavim are along its path.

    I've made a note of this.

    miR-296 is a family of microRNA precursors found in mammals, including humans. The ~22 nucleotide mature miRNA sequence is excised from the precursor hairpin by the enzyme Dicer. This sequence then associates with RISC which effects RNA interference.
    miR-296 has been named an "angiomiR" due to being characterised as a microRNA which regulates angiogenesis, the process of growth and creation of new blood vessels. miR-296 is thought to have a specific role in cancer in promoting tumour angiogenesis. It achieves this by targeting HGS mRNA, reducing its expression in endothelial cells which then results in greater number of VEGF receptors.
    miR-296 has predicted target sites in the transcription factor NANOG and may also contribute to carcinogenesis by dysregulating p53.

    Just as well I was around. Not a lot of people know that.

    297 is a Kaprekar number for base 10, because 297² = 88209, which can be split into 88 and 209, and 88 + 209 = 297

    Sorry 3rd eye. Let me explain in simple terms:

    Entrez Gene summary for MIR296:

    microRNAs (miRNAs) are short (20-24 nt) non-coding RNAs that are involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in multicellular organisms by affecting both the stability and translation of mRNAs. miRNAs are transcribed by RNA polymerase II as part of capped and polyadenylated primary transcripts (pri-miRNAs) that can be either protein-coding or non-coding. The primary transcript is cleaved by the Drosha ribonuclease III enzyme to produce an approximately 70-nt stem-loop precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA), which is further cleaved by the cytoplasmic Dicer ribonuclease to generate the mature miRNA and antisense miRNA star (miRNA*) products. The mature miRNA is incorporated into a RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which recognizes target mRNAs through imperfect base pairing with the miRNA and most commonly results in translational inhibition or destabilization of the target mRNA. The RefSeq represents the predicted microRNA stem-loop. (provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009)


    I think that should clear it up.

    300 is a 2007 American action film based on the 1998 comic series of the same name by Frank Miller and Lynn Varley. Both are fictionalized retellings of the Battle of Thermopylae. The film was directed by Zack Snyder, while Miller served as executive producer and consultant. It was filmed mostly with a super-imposition chroma key technique, to help replicate the imagery of the original comic book.
    The plot revolves around King Leonidas (Gerard Butler), who leads 300 Spartans into battle against Persian "god-King" Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) and his army of more than 300,000 soldiers. As the battle rages, Queen Gorgo (Lena Headey) attempts to rally support in Sparta for her husband. The story is framed by a voice-over narrative by the Spartan soldier Dilios (David Wenham). Through this narrative technique, various fantastical creatures are introduced, placing 300 within the genre of historical fantasy.
    300 was released in both conventional and IMAX theaters in the United States on March 9, 2007, and on DVD, Blu-ray Disc, and HD DVD on July 31, 2007. The film received mixed reviews, receiving acclaim for its original visuals and style, but criticism for favoring visuals over characterization and its controversial depiction of the ancient Persians; however, the film was a box office success, grossing over $450 million, with the film's opening being the 24th largest in box office history at the time, and it has since developed a cult following.
