# Reynoutria sachalinensis

Reynoutria sachalinensis, the giant knotweed or Sakhalin knotweed, (syns. Polygonum sachalinense, Fallopia sachalinensis) is a species of Fallopia native to northeastern Asia in northern Japan (Hokkaidō, Honshū) and the far east of Russia (Sakhalin and the southern Kurile Islands).
Reynoutria sachalinensis is a herbaceous perennial plant growing to 2–4 m (79–157 in) tall, with strong, extensively spreading rhizomes forming large clonal colonies. The leaves are some of the largest in the family, up to 15–40 cm (6–15.5 in) long and 10–28 cm (4–11 in) broad, nearly heart-shaped, with a somewhat wavy, crenate margin. The flowers are small, produced on short, dense panicles up to 10 cm (4 in) long in late summer or early autumn; it is gynodioecious, with male and female (male sterile) flowers on separate plants. The species is closely related to the Japanese knotweed, Reynoutria japonica, and can be distinguished from it by its larger size, and in its leaves having a heart-shaped (not straight) base and a crenate margin. Reynoutria sachalinensis has a chromosome count of 2n=44.

## Cultivation and uses

The shoots are tender and edible. It was introduced to Europe and grown in many botanic gardens. It came prominently into notice about 1893, when a drought in western Europe caused a decided shortage in forage for cattle. This plant was little affected, and since its tender shoots and leaves were eaten by stock, the plant was widely grown experimentally as a forage crop. It has proved less useful than was predicted, and its deliberate cultivation has been almost entirely abandoned. It has, however, like F. japonica, proved to be an invasive weed in several areas.
It has hybridised with Reynoutria japonica in cultivation; the hybrid, Reynoutria × bohemica (Chrtek & Chrtková) J.P.Bailey, is frequently found in the British Isles and elsewhere.
Extracts of this plant can be used as plant protectants for certain fungal and bacterial diseases.
Rhizome of R. sachalinensis is the source of lactoperoxidase peroxidation cycle substrates, which can act as activators and inhibitors of the antimicrobial properties of that system.
The species has been cultivated as an energy crop for biomass production, particularly in Germany in its commercial variety 'Igniscum', and it has shown a high productivity even in Northern latitudes, reaching a dry matter yield from 5.4 to 27.8 oven dry metric tons per hectare (2.4 to 12.4 short ton/acre), annually.
# HMS Panther (1758)

HMS Panther was a 60-gun fourth-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 22 June 1758 at Chatham Dockyard.
She served during the Seven Years' War, sailing for the far east to take part in the expedition against Manila. On 31 October 1761 Panther and the Coventry-class 24-gun sixth-rate Argo captured the Spanish galleon Spanish ship Santísima Trinidad in a two-hour action, loaded with cargo valued at $1.5 million.
Panther was fitted as a prison hulk at Plymouth Dockyard from 1807, and was broken up in 1813.
# Dauciones

The Daukiones (Greek) or Dauciones (Latinization) were a Germanic tribe mentioned only by the Roman scholar Claudius Ptolemy in his Geographia (2nd century AD). Ptolemy lists the Daukiones along with five or six other tribes inhabiting the "island of Scandia", which he mistakenly identified as an island off the eastern coast of the Cimbrian peninsula (Jutland), rather than the southern part of the Scandinavian peninsula. While it is generally accepted that Scandia refers to present-day southern Sweden, particularly Scania (Skåne), there is little agreement on the identification of the Daukiones.
Several scholars have offered various interpretations. Johann Kaspar Zeuss suggested that the name is a misspelling or distortion of skandiones, the inhabitants of Skåne. Gudmund Schütte suggested that the name is related to daneiones or dankiones, referring to the Danes, although the Danes do not appear in other sources before the 6th century AD. Other theories link the tribe to names such as aviones, a Scandinavian tribe mentioned by Tacitus, or dapriones, the inhabitants of Daprae—a medieval hundred in Scania. However, none of the theories has been generally accepted.
The difficulties in identifying the Daukiones stem from the fact that the name appears only in Ptolemy’s text and no other historical sources mention a tribe with a similar name. Scholars have speculated that Ptolemy's naming could involve transcription errors or misinterpretations. Some researchers, like Adolf Noreen, Karl Müllenhoff and Lauritz Weibull, have suggested that the name remains too obscure to be linked with any known group, and any attempts on identification are necessarily based on pure conjecture.
# Cushing Homestead

The Cushing Homestead is a historic 2+1⁄2-story first Period saltbox-type house in Hingham, Massachusetts. As it stands today the residence has traces of both 17th-century English style as well as later 18th-century Georgian.

## History

Hingham town clerk and magistrate Daniel Cushing (1618–1699) was granted a plot of land from the town in 1665, and later built a house there for his son Peter (Cushing) sometime in 1678. There is "clear and visible" architectural evidence in the two front chambers and attic that the house was originally one-and-a-half stories high. This one-bay depth structure was later extended (creating a lean-to) before the 1700s toward the back of the property away from the street. At some point in time between the end of the 17th century to the early 18th century the house was raised to its current height. Evidence from this transition include a second set of rafters visible on the second floor. The second bay was possibly added (creating the saltbox-type house) in the mid to late 1700s when the lean-to was extended back again.
Both the NRHP entry and books written on the matter mention that the southwest corner of the house retains the original 17th century kitchen. When this room was restored in 1936 the original painted plastered walls and timbered ceiling were also discovered. Other elements that have been preserved intact include the exposed sills, girts, posts, ceiling beams, and shadow molding. The kitchen also includes extremely rare original "yellow on black sponge painting" (added c.1700) that adorns the ceiling rafters. Interior elements in the other bay of the house include pained wood-paneled ceiling beams. These are considered to be more formal decoration styles which date to the mid-1700s. Although electricity and plumbing have been added, the house still retains its "stylistic integrity".
Among the Cushing family members who have occupied the home since it was built was Capt. Peter Cushing (1741–1783), grandson and namesake of the first owner. A selectman and constable of Hingham, Capt. Cushing commanded a company of troops during the Revolutionary War under fellow townsman General Benjamin Lincoln.
An elm tree on the property, a local landmark for years, was famous as the place where pastor John Brown preached to a group of Minutemen from Cohasset in 1775. The soldiers afterwards took part in the Siege of Boston under Col. (later Brigadier General) John Greaton.

The inauguration of William Howard Taft as the 27th president of the United States was held on Thursday, March 4, 1909, at the Senate chamber inside the United States Capitol, Washington, D.C., instead of the regular East Portico due to a blizzard. This was the 31st inauguration and marked the commencement of William Howard Taft's only term as president and James S. Sherman's only term as vice president.
As Sherman died 3 years, 240 days into this term, the office remained vacant for the balance: he was the last vice president to leave office intra-term prior to the ratification of the Twenty-fifth Amendment in 1967 (excluding Calvin Coolidge, Harry S. Truman and Lyndon B. Johnson, who ascended to the presidency after the deaths of their predecessors), which constitutionally allows for filling a vacancy in the office of vice president, and as of 2025, is also the most recent vice president to die in office.

## Inaugural ceremonies and festivities

Due to a blizzard the night before that covered Washington, D.C., with 10 inches of snow, the inauguration was moved indoors, into the Senate chamber. The presidential oath of office was administered by Chief Justice Melville Fuller, who was doing so for his sixth and final time. The Chief Justice flubbed his lines. The new President took his oath on a century-old Bible belonging to the Supreme Court, which he used again in 1921 to take his oath as the Chief Justice of the United States. Despite the adverse weather conditions, the inaugural parade was not cancelled. 6,000 city workers used 500 wagons to remove 58,000 tons of snow to clean the parade route. For the first time in inauguration history, the incoming First Lady (in this case Helen Herron Taft) joined her husband in leading the parade from the Capitol to the White House. Probably during the parade, the choral march "Our Country" by Arthur Whiting was played.
An inaugural ball that evening was held at the Pension Building. It was the last official inaugural ball until 1949, as Taft's successor as president, Woodrow Wilson, asked the city of Washington not to hold it, thereby putting a temporary end to the practice. The tradition of inaugural balls was revived in 1949 as part of the second inauguration of Harry S. Truman.

# HMS Cornwallis (1813)

HMS Cornwallis was a 74-gun third rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, launched on 12 May 1813 at Bombay. She was built of teak. The capture of Java by USS Constitution delayed the completion of Cornwallis as Java had been bringing her copper sheathing from England.
Cornwallis arrived at Deal, Kent on 31 May 1814, having escorted several East Indiamen (including Baring, Charles Mills, and Fairlie), and two whalers (including Indispensable).
On 27 April 1815, Cornwallis engaged the American sloop USS Hornet (1805), which had mistaken Cornwallis for a merchant ship. Heavily outgunned, Hornet was forced to retreat. The crew threw boats, guns and other equipment overboard in order to escape.
After China's defeat in the First Opium War, representatives from the British and Qing Empires negotiated a peace treaty aboard Cornwallis in Nanjing. On 29 August 1842, British representative Sir Henry Pottinger and Qing representatives, Qiying, Yilibu and Niujian, signed the Treaty of Nanking aboard her.
Cornwallis was fitted with screw propulsion and reduced to 60 guns in 1855, and took part in the Crimean War, where she was commanded by George Wellesley, future admiral and First Sea Lord, and the nephew of the Duke of Wellington.
She was converted to a jetty at Sheerness in 1865. In 1916, she was renamed HMS Wildfire and used as a base ship. She was finally broken up in 1957 at Sheerness, some 144 years after her launching.

# Perin Captain

Perin Ben Captain (1888–1958) was an Indian freedom activist, social worker, and the grand daughter of renowned Indian intellectual and leader, Dadabhai Naoroji. The Government of India honoured her in 1954 with the award of Padma Shri, the fourth highest Indian civilian award for her contributions to the country, placing her among the first group of recipients of the award.

## Biography

Perin Ben was born on 12 October 1888 in Mandvi, in Kutch district, in the Indian state of Gujarat, in a Parsi family. Her father, Ardeshir, was a medical doctor and the eldest son of Dadabhai Naoroji, and her mother, Virbai Dadina, was a house wife. Born as the eldest of eight children, she lost her father in 1893 when she was only 5 years old and did her early education in Mumbai. Later, she joined University of Paris III: Sorbonne Nouvelle, from where she secured a degree in French. While in Paris, she came into the circle of Bhikaiji Cama and started participating in their activities. It is reported that she was involved with the plan to release Vinayak Damodar Savarkar after his arrest in London. During this time, she attended the Egyptian National Congress at Brussels in 1910 along with Savarkar and Bhikaiji Cama. She was also involved with the Polish émigré organisations based in Paris, which were revolting against the Czarist rule in Russia. After returning to India in 1911, Perin had an opportunity to meet Mahatma Gandhi and was influenced by his ideals. By 1919, she started working with him, and in 1920, she took to Swadeshi movement and started wearing Khadi. In 1921, she assisted in establishing the Rashtriya Stree Sabha, a women's movement based on gandhian ideals.
Perin married Dhunjisha S. Captain, a lawyer, in 1925, but the couple had no children. She continued her social activism after marriage and served on a number of councils of the Indian National Congress. She was the first woman president of Bombay Provincial Congress Committee, when she got elected to the post in 1930. She participated in the Civil disobedience movement initiated by Mahatma Gandhi and was incarcerated, the first of the several imprisonments she endured during the Indian freedom movement. When Gandhi Seva Sena was reconstituted in the 1930s, she was made its honorary General Secretary, a post she held till her death in 1958.
When the Government of India introduced the Padma civilian award system in 1954, Perin Captain was included in the first list of awardees for Padma Shri.
# Colora Meetinghouse

The Colora Meetinghouse is a historic Friends (or Quaker) meeting house located at Colora, Cecil County, Maryland, United States.
The meeting house was built in 1841 as part of a larger dispute known as the "great separation." The original members of the Colora Meeting, then called the Nottingham Preparative Meeting, sided with the orthodox Friends splitting off from the Hicksite West Nottingham Friends Meeting. The new meeting was first part of Baltimore Yearly Meeting. In 1854 it formed the Primitive Yearly Meeting with several nearby meetings and in 1890 became part of the Western Quarterly Meeting.

## Architecture

It is six bays wide and one room deep, and measures 36 feet by 22 feet, in the traditional plan with separate entrances for the men and women and a sliding divider to separate the interior into two areas for business meetings. Its walls are constructed of 18-inch-thick (460 mm) stuccoed fieldstone, with a wooden box cornice. The building features two interior end chimneys protruding through a slate roof. The property includes a small cemetery and a two-story building built in 1869, and used as a Friends schoolhouse until 1890 when public schools were built.
The Colora Meetinghouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. It is open for worship once yearly, generally at 2:00 pm on the third Sunday of September.

# Fredricka Whitfield

Fredricka Whitfield (born May 31, 1965) is an American journalist and news anchor. She anchors the weekend edition of CNN Newsroom from CNN's world headquarters in Atlanta, and she is also a fill-in and substitute anchor for CNN's At This Hour With Kate Bolduan.

## Early life and education

Whitfield is the daughter of American middle-distance runner and Olympian Mal Whitfield. Whitfield attended Paint Branch High School in Burtonsville, Maryland, graduating in 1983. She earned a bachelor's degree in journalism from Howard University's School of Communications in 1987. While attending Howard, she served as a news anchor for campus radio station WHUR. In 2002, Whitfield was selected as the Howard University School of Communications Alumna of the year.

## Career

After college, Whitfield worked at WPLG-TV in Miami, NewsChannel 8 in Washington, D.C., KTVT-TV in Fort Worth, WTNH in New Haven, Connecticut, and WCIV in Charleston, South Carolina. Then she became a correspondent for NBC News, serving as an Atlanta-based correspondent for NBC Nightly News from 1995 to 2001.

She was also the first CNN anchor to break the news of the death of Kobe Bryant in 2020.

### Controversies

In 2014, Whitfield's televised interview with comedian Joan Rivers to discuss her new book of comedy came to an abrupt end after Whitfield commented that Rivers' work on the Fashion Police shows and Casey Anthony jokes were mean-spirited, in addition to criticizing her for wearing a vintage fur despite Whitfield's wearing of animal leather. Whitfield acknowledged the controversy during a subsequent broadcast, calling her segment with Rivers "one of the most talked about interviews ending abruptly with an exit".
On June 13, 2015, Whitfield described the gunman who attacked police in Dallas, Texas, as "courageous and brave" on air, when she thought he might be part of a coordinated terrorist attack. The next day she claimed she misspoke but made no formal apology for the initial statement. The following day, Whitfield issued a formal on-air apology, saying she terribly misused those words and was sincerely sorry.
