# Johannes Crastonis

Johannes Crastonis (Crastonus; Crastone) was an Italian renaissance humanist and scholar. Crastonus was probably born in Castel San Giovanni close to Piacenza. He was a member of the Carmelites. He studied in Constantinople but migrated to Modena (near Ferrara) in Italy. There he published a Greek-Latin dictionary about 1480.
In Milan, together with Bonus Accursius, he edited various works to facilitate the learning of Greek. His collaboration with Bonus Accursius started no later than 1478. Among these works were a bi-lingual Greek and Latin edition of the Psalms, dedicated to Ludovico Donà, published on 21 September 1481. This was the first printed version of the Greek Psalms. While at Milan, he was friends with Ermolao Barbaro, Francesco Filelfo, Giorgio Merula and Iacopo Antiquari. His Vocabulista, a Greek-Latin dictionary, was first printed probably in Milan and then re-printed twice before 1500 by Dionysius Bertochus. A translation of Constantine Lascaris's Erotemata was published on 29 September 1480, which was reprinted in 1489. Crastonus died after 1497, as is clear from a reference made to him in that year.

## Known works

* Lexicon graeco-latinum, printed not after 28 March 1478
* Lexicon latino-graecum or Vocabulista; no place [but probably Milan] or date; preface by Bonus Accursius
* [Bilingual edition of the Psalms], Milan, Bonus Accursius, 1481
# Justin Lafferty

Justin Augustus Lafferty (born May 13, 1971) is an American politician from the state of Tennessee. A Republican, Lafferty has represented the 89th district of the Tennessee House of Representatives, based in the western suburbs of Knoxville, since 2019.

## Career

In 2018, Roger Kane announced his retirement from the 89th district of the Tennessee House of Representatives, and a crowded field formed to replace him. Lafferty, a stay-at-home father and a landlord, was considered a significant underdog against several of his competitors, including former Knox County sheriff Tim Hutchison and former state senator Stacey Campfield. However, Lafferty outpolled both to win the primary with just over 30% of the vote. In the strongly Republican suburban seat, Lafferty went on to soundly win the general election over Democrat Coleen Martinez, 64-36%.
On May 4, 2021, Lafferty made a speech on the Tennessee House floor in defense of the Three-fifths Compromise, a provision of the original U.S. Constitution resulting from a 1787 agreement between northern and southern states, providing that three-fifths of a state's slave population would be counted for representation in the U.S. House of Representatives. The compromise is regarded as one of the most racist deals among the states during the country's founding. Lafferty inaccurately claimed in his speech that the three-fifths compromise was adopted for "the purpose of ending slavery."
In 2023, Lafferty supported resolutions to expel three Democratic lawmakers from the legislature for violating decorum rules.

## Personal life

Lafferty lives in Knoxville with his wife and daughter.

# The Mitre (Alaska)

The Mitre is a 6,651-foot (2,027 m) mountain summit located in the western Chugach Mountains, in Anchorage Municipality in the U.S. state of Alaska. The mountain is situated in Chugach State Park, 30 mi (48 km) east of Anchorage, three miles (4.8 km) northeast of Bellicose Peak, and 5.5 mi (9 km) south-southeast of Eklutna Lake. The nearest higher peak is Benign Peak, 2.4 mi (4 km) to the west-northwest, on the opposite side of the Eklutna Glacier. Although modest in elevation, relief is significant since the western aspect of the mountain rises 4,000 feet above this glacier in approximately half a mile. In Europe, "mitre" is the term used for a sharp, symmetrical rocky peak such as this one. The Mitre's descriptive name was submitted for consideration by the Mountaineering Club of Alaska as suggested by Dr. Rodman Wilson (1921–2003) of Anchorage after he returned from a European vacation. The Mitre name was officially adopted in 1966 by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names. In the Denaʼina language, this mountain is known as Idlu Bena Dghelaya, meaning Mountain of Plural Objects Lake.

## Climate

Based on the Köppen climate classification, The Mitre is located in a subarctic climate zone with long, cold, snowy winters, and mild summers. Weather systems coming off the Gulf of Alaska are forced upwards by the Chugach Mountains (orographic lift), causing heavy precipitation in the form of rainfall and snowfall. Winter temperatures can drop below −10 °F with wind chill factors below −20 °F. Precipitation runoff from the peak drains to Cook Inlet via the Eklutna River.
