I went looking for:

TCP/IP
NetBIOS
NetBIOS Over TCP/IP [Where’s the sense in that?]
NetBEUI
Burrowing Owl
Jon Kabat-Zinn [Despite the name, not a convertee to obscure/self-founded religion]
Mindfulness
Vitamin D

I got waylaid by:

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy [Sounds weird, but probably beneficial.]
Bioavailability [This is a medical thing, not a therapy thing.]
First-pass Effect [Pharmacology, not football.]
Rail Transport
Gunboat Diplomacy [See also: Big-stick, dollar. Wonder which works best?]
Anglo-Zanzibar War [Generally considered the shortest war]
Three-Hundred & Thirty-Five Years War [Possibly the longest war? They forgot to sign a peace treaty.]
War of Jenkins’ Ear [Actually was about an ear. Didn’t know that.]
Railway Signalling
Armagh Rail Disaster
Detonator (Railway)
Maroon (Rocket)
Token (Railway Signalling) [System for single tracks, still in use eg. Grivan-Stranraer.]

I read at random:

Hugh le Despencer, 1st Baron le Despencer [Stub]
Play Action Pass [Didn’t understand this]
Hen [Disambiguation]
GCI Railcar [Stub]
CSX Corporation
Joanna of Chatillon
Kit Malthouse [Biography of Living Person, flagged for neutrality issues. Reads like a CV. May have a go at it.]
