# Astronaut Meets Appleman

Astronaut Meets Appleman is a studio album by Scottish indie folk musician King Creosote, released on 2 September 2016 through Domino Recording Company. It received acclaim from critics and reached number 25 on the UK Albums Chart.

## Background

The album title was inspired by Anderson gifting his daughter a toy man made from an apple, which she was more interested in than a spaceman toy she had also been given.

Astronaut Meets Appleman received a score of 79 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on 14 critics' reviews, indicating "generally favorable" reception. AllMusic's Timothy Monger found it to be "a looser set" than From Scotland with Love (2014) "whose earthy ramblings seem grounded more firmly in the present" and although "not one of Anderson's most immediately engaging albums", he found it to have "a meandering charm that works its magic over time". John Murphy of MusicOMH described it as "an album where everything but the kitchen sink (strings, beats, even bagpipes) seems to have been thrown in, and yet it maintains a fierce focus".
Mojo stated that it "could be King Creosote's finest hour yet", while Uncut felt that "his wrinkled brogue—warm, pithy, occasionally fluttering to a falsetto—is a thing of understated beauty in itself, framed in folk-shanty arrangements that make telling use of strings and bagpipe".

# Astley and Bedford Mosses

Astley and Bedford Mosses are areas of peat bog south of the Bridgewater Canal and north of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. They are situated about 2+1⁄2 miles (4 km) south-east of Leigh, in Astley and Bedford, Greater Manchester, England. They are among the last remaining fragments of Chat Moss, the raised bog that once covered a large area, of around 10+2⁄3 square miles (28 km$^2$), south Lancashire north of the River Mersey. Astley Moss was designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1989. Astley and Bedford Mosses, along with Risley Moss and Holcroft Moss, are part of Manchester Mosses, a European Union designated Special Area of Conservation.

## Ecology

Chat Moss, a lowland raised bog, formed after the last ice age about 10,000 years ago on the site of a shallow glacial lake to the north of the River Mersey. Fen peat formed in an area colonised by reeds and rushes. Sphagnum mosses then colonised the area causing a change from fen to bog peat which became elevated forming a dome, the raised bog. Sphagnum mosses increase the acidity of the water resulting in highly specialised plant species, many of them found nowhere else. The site is also important for bird species such as the merlin, hen harrier and short-eared owl.
# Astley baronets of Hill Morton (1660)

The Astley Baronetcy, of Hillmorton in the County of Warwick, was created in the Baronetage of England on 25 June 1660 for Jacob Astley, nephew of the first Baronet of Melton Constable. For more information on this creation, see Baron Hastings.

## Background

The Astley family were descended from Sir Thomas de Astley of Astley, Warwickshire, who was killed in the Battle of Evesham in 1265. He married twice. From his first marriage to Joane de Blois descended the Astley baronets of Patshull, whose family seat was at Patshull Hall, Staffordshire, and the Astley baronets of Everley, Wiltshire. From his second marriage to Editha Constable of Melton Constable, Norfolk, descended the Astley baronets of Melton Constable, the Astley baronets of Hillmorton (who succeeded as Barons Hastings – of the 1295 creation), and the Barons Astley of Reading.

## Astley baronets, of Hill Morton (1660)

* Sir Jacob Astley, 1st Baronet (c.1639–1729)
* Sir Philip Astley, 2nd Baronet (1667–1739)
* Sir Jacob Astley, 3rd Baronet (1692–1760)

# Astrothelium rubrostiolatum

Astrothelium rubrostiolatum is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) lichen in the family Trypetheliaceae. Found in Brazil, it was formally described as a new species in 2017 by Marcela Eugenia da Silva Cáceres and André Aptroot. The type specimen was collected by the authors along a trail near a field station in the Adolfo Ducke Forest Reserve (Manaus); here it was found growing on tree bark in old-growth rainforest. The lichen has a dull yellowish thallus lacking a prothallus, with spherical to pear-shaped ascomata that are either immersed in or are below the thallus surface, typically arranged in groups of 7 to 25. The ascospores number eight per ascus, are muriform (divided in regular chambers), and measure 90–125 by 25–30 μm. The species epithet refers to the red colour in the ostioles. Thin-layer chromatography revealed the presence of an anthraquinone that was presumed to be parietin.

# Akçağıl, Elbeyli

Akçağıl, historically Bakıt, is a village in the Elbeyli District, Kilis Province, Turkey. The village is inhabited by Abdals of the Kara Hacılar tribe and had a population of 144 in 2022.
# A Mediterranean Port

A Mediterranean Port or A Sea Port by Moonlight refers to two 1771 paintings of the same subject by the French painter Claude Joseph Vernet. They are now in the Museo Soumaya in Mexico City and the Louvre in Paris.

## History

The two paintings form part of a series of fifteen works by Vernet showing port scenes. They were commissioned by Madame du Barry, who was trying to replace Madame de Pompadour as the greatest art patron among Louis XIV's lovers. Vernet was one of a circle of artists which gathered around du Barry. The paintings were intended for a pavilion at the Chateau de Louveciennes. They resemble the same painter's Night: Mediterranean Coastal Scene with Fishermen and Boats (1753).

## Description

In the foreground, a group of people is gathered around the heat of a fire. The objects nearby reaffirm the environment in which they are found, and in parallel there are several people fishing. The colors and textures present reflect a calm environment. In the background, the figure of the moon predominates, prolonged thanks to the pale light that is reflected on the tenuous waves of the liquid surface of the sea and among the clouds. There is in fact a contrast of lights in the painting: the burning orange of the fure on the right and the cold light of the night on the left.
# 161989 Cacus

161989 Cacus (prov. designation: 1978 CA) is a stony asteroid, classified as near-Earth object and a potentially hazardous asteroid of the Apollo group, approximately 1 kilometer in diameter. It was discovered on 8 February 1978, by German astronomer Hans-Emil Schuster at ESO's La Silla Observatory in northern Chile. Its orbit is confined between Venus and Mars.
This minor planet was named from Roman mythology, after Cacus, a fire-breathing monster, which was killed by Hercules. The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 24 November 2007 (M.P.C. 61270).

# Al Reynolds

Allen F. Reynolds (February 15, 1938 – December 11, 2019) was an American college and professional football guard who played eight seasons in the American Football League from 1960-1967 for the Dallas Texans/Kansas City Chiefs. Allen is an alumnus of Tarkio College in Tarkio, Missouri where he was inducted into the Tarkio College Hall of Fame in 1987.

## Career

Al Reynolds played in 98 games with the Texans/Chiefs and was a starter in 56 of those games through his career in the AFL. Al is also credited with 1 fumble in his career but when questioned about this his only reaction was "I did? I don't remember that." The NFL apparently doesn't know which game it was in. Only that the fumble occurred during the 1966 season in which the Chiefs went on to play Green Bay in the first AFL-NFL World Championship. Since Allen was an offensive lineman it can only be assumed this happened during an attempt to recover a fumble by another player.
Allen's official position was right guard but during his career with the Texans and Chiefs he proved valuable at several positions in the offensive line. He is credited with playing both left and right guard and well as playing right offensive tackle.
After the 1967 season Allen did not immediately retire from pro football. Before the 1968 season the AFL expanded into Cincinnati with the Bengals football club. During the expansion draft that year, the Bengals drafted several of the Kansas City Chiefs including offensive guard Allen Reynolds. Allen spent time with the team before the season began but ultimately decided to retire from pro football and keep his family rooted in Kansas City. He did not play any games with the Cincinnati Bengals.

## Family life

At the time of his retirement, Al was married to his wife Diane Reynolds and had 3 young daughters, Jennifer, Monica and Alicia. He and Diane would later have 2 more children, son's Allen and Thomas.
