# Nantou shooting

The Nantou shooting was a mass murder that occurred in Nantou City, Taiwan on September 21, 1959, when 29-year-old Army Captain Li Hsing-ju killed 10 people and wounded four others, before committing suicide.

## Background

Li had fallen in love with 19-year-old Lu Mu-sheng, who rejected his advances and became engaged with her neighbour Yu Chuang Sheng, while he was stationed on the Quemoy islands. When Li returned home Lu introduced him to another girl, proposing that he should marry her instead.
Lu Mu-sheng and Yu Chuang Sheng were about to get married on the day of the shooting.

## Shooting

In the early hours of September 21, at approximately 2 a.m., Li broke into the house of Lu Mu-sheng and her family, carrying with him two rifles. He fatally shot Lu's father, her 10-year-old sister, her two brothers, aged 14 and 6 years, as well as her 30-year-old fiancé with a semi-automatic rifle, and then dragged her outside and critically wounded her with shots to the chest and leg.
Li also fired at two neighbours who came to investigate, killing one and wounding the other, and subsequently entered a second-storey apartment 50 yards away, where the girl to whom Miss Lu had introduced him lived together with her family. There he killed the girl's parents, her brother, and one of her sisters, and wounded her and another sister of hers. When police arrived at the scene and asked him to surrender, Li committed suicide by shooting himself in the head.
# Paul of Seleucia-Ctesiphon

Paul was briefly Patriarch of the Church of the East in 539. He is included in the traditional list of patriarchs of the Church of the East.

## Sources

Brief accounts of Paul's reign are given in the Ecclesiastical Chronicle of the Jacobite writer Bar Hebraeus (floruit 1280) and in the ecclesiastical histories of the Nestorian writers Mari (twelfth-century), ʿAmr (fourteenth-century) and Sliba (fourteenth-century). His life is also covered in the Chronicle of Seert.

## Paul's patriarchate

The following account of Paul's reign is given by Mari:
   This father was the archdeacon of Mar Yozaq, bishop of al-Ahwaz, whom he succeeded on that throne, and was one of those men from whom the fathers had extracted an oath that they would take the part neither of Narsaï nor Elishaʿ. He is said to have been metropolitan of Jundishapur before he was elected patriarch. Anushirwan accepted his appointment because he had once, in the blazing heat of summer, brought up a train of mules carrying large amounts of water, which he offered to the soldiers to drink; and because he was grateful for the exceptional zeal he had shown on that occasion, he took this opportunity to repay his debt. Paul held the patriarchate for only two months, though some say it was a year.

# Eve's footprint

Eve's footprint is the popular name for a set of fossilised footprints discovered on the shore of Langebaan Lagoon, South Africa in 1995. They are thought to be those of a female human and have been dated to approximately 117,000 years ago. This makes them the oldest known footprints of an anatomically modern human. The estimated age of Eve's footprint means that the individual who left the tracks in the soil, thought to be female, would have lived within the current wide range of estimates for the date of Mitochondrial Eve.

## History

The three footprints were found in 1995 by geologist David Roberts from the Council for Geoscience and announced at a press conference with paleoanthropologist Lee R. Berger of the University of the Witwatersrand at Johannesburg, South Africa, at the National Geographic Society in Washington, D.C. The discovery was documented in the August 1997 issue of the South African Journal of Science.
Berger and Roberts say the prints were made on a steep sand dune during a turbulent rainstorm. The location where they were found is in southwest South Africa about 120 kilometres (75 mi) northwest of Cape Town in the West Coast National Park. They were found in a ledge of sandstone at the edge of Langebaan Lagoon near the Atlantic coast. The preserved prints were moved to the South African Museum in Cape Town for protection and a concrete replica was mounted on the shores of Langebaan.
The maker of the footprints lived in the time of the emergence of modern Homo sapiens, or people anatomically similar to humans alive today. The footprints measure 22 centimetres (8.7 in) in length (the width of the distal ends of the metatarsals are 8.5 centimetres (3.3 in)) and are about the size of a modern-day (U.S.) woman's size 7½ shoe (British size 6, continental European size 39½). In one foot impression the big toe, ball, arch, and heel are clearly discernible, with a maximum depression of 3.2 cm. Roberts thinks that the prints belong to an ancient female about 1.5 metres (4 feet 11 inches) tall. He said that the woman who made these footprints would resemble a contemporary woman. The heel-to-heel stride length is 51 centimetres (20 in).
Fewer than three dozen hominid fossils from the period 100,000 to 200,000 years ago have been found. Berger said, "These footprints are traces of the earliest modern people." Roberts explained further that dry sand blew over the wet footprints and filled the prints. They eventually were buried to a depth of about 9 metres (30 ft). The sand and accompanying crushed seashells hardened like cement into sedimentary rock and protected the footprints.
The team later found associated evidence of stone tool use (a core, scrapers, cutting blades, and a spear point) in the same area that is believed to date from the same period. There was also evidence of the use of ochre, leading to the intriguing possibility that the 'Eve' of 117,000 years ago may have been wearing the colourful powder.

# Centropyge joculator

Centropyge joculator, commonly known as the joculator angelfish, yellow head angelfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a marine angelfish belonging to the family Pomacanthidae. It is found in the central Pacific Ocean.

## Description

Centropyge joculator is a brightly colored angelfish that resembles the bicolor angelfish (Centropyge bicolor) but lacks the distinguishing vertical blue bar above the eye. In contrast, the joculator angelfish sports a blue ring around its eyes and the same electric blue coloration traces a thin outline along the edges of its dorsal and anal fins. This fish attains a maximum length of 9 centimetres (3.5 in).

## Distribution

Centropyge joculator is found only in the Christmas Islands and Cocos-Keeling Islands in the Eastern Indian Ocean.

## Habitat and biology

Centropyge joculator is found at depths between 10 and 70 metres (33 and 230 ft). This species lives in areas of rock, coral or rubble on seaward reefs. Juveniles are occasionally recorded in waters as shallow as 5 metres (16 ft). It is a benthopelagic species which feeds on algae and detritus. They may live in small social groups, harems with a single male and up to 4 females. They are protogynous hermaphrodites and if no male is present the dominant female will change sex.
# Chremonides

Chremonides (Ancient Greek: Χρεμωνίδης), son of Eteokles of Aithalidai, was an Athenian 3rd century BC statesman and general. He issued the Decree of Chremonides in 268 BC, creating an alliance between Sparta, Athens, and Ptolemy II, the Macedonian King of Egypt. This was a defensive alliance against King Antigonus of Macedon which led to the Chremonidean War.
Chremonides and his brother, Glaucon, were compelled to flee Athens and take refuge in Egypt. There, Chremonides became an admiral of the Egyptian fleet and led it during the Battle of Ephesus in c. 258 BC, while his brother became a priest.
Apart from being a capable politician and general, Chremonides was also a Stoic philosopher, belonging to the philosophical school of Zeno and his followers.

# William Yates (cartographer)

William Yates (1738–1802) was an 18th-century British cartographer. He surveyed land in northern England, mostly in Lancashire.

## Early life

Yates grew up in the Low Hill parish of Walton, Liverpool.

## Career

Early in his career, Yates was an assistant to Peter Perez Burdett.
In 1769, Yates completed a survey for the Map of the Environs of Liverpool.
Yates' survey of Lancashire (1786), at one inch to the mile, was "one of the eleven English county maps which received national recognition in the period 1759–1809". He received a gold medal from the Society of Arts.
His 1775 trigonometrical survey of Staffordshire was described as "the last production of outstanding importance" before the end of the 18th century.

## Personal life

In his will, made in 1802, Yates refers to his children: William Jr, George, Joseph, Sarah, Hannah and Patty.
In the 1770s, he was living in Cleveland Square and working as a customs officer. Twenty years later, he was a resident of West Derby, Liverpool, employed as a surveyor of customs.

## Death

Yates died in Liverpool in 1802. He was interred at the city's St Thomas' Church on 30 November.
# Makapansgat pebble

The Makapansgat pebble or Makapansgat cobble (ca. 3,000,000 BP) is a pebble with natural chipping and wear patterns that make it look like a crude rendition of a human face, in fact at least two possible faces. Some scholars argue that it is the oldest known manuport.

## Description

The Makapansgat pebble is a 260-gram, 8.3 cm long, 7 cm wide, and 3.8 cm thick, reddish-brown jasperite cobble.
The pebble was found in 1925 in a dolomite cave in the Makapan Valley north of Mokopane, South Africa by local school teacher Wilfred Eitzman. Importantly, it was found at 4.8 km/3 miles from the nearest possible natural source (or 32 km/20 miles according to Dart). The site also contained bones of Australopithecus (later this attribution was widened to australopithecines or other early hominins).
The pebble and all its markings are formed naturally by geological processes; no traces of artificial modification have been detected.

## Interpretation

Though the pebble is definitely not a manufactured object, it has been suggested that some hominids might have recognized it as a symbolic face, in possibly the earliest example of symbolic thinking or aesthetic sense in the human heritage, and brought the pebble back to the cave. This would make it a candidate for the oldest known manuport.
The pebble had been described in literature and featured in the television program The Roots of Art in November 1967, before it gained new attention in 1974 when Raymond Dart (who had first seen it shortly after it was found) published a new interpretation. While Eitzman had already suggested the pebble was brought to the cave because of the resemblance to a face, Dart recognized other faces when the stone is viewed from different angles.
The Makapansgat pebble cannot be seen as art if a usual definition of the term is used, as the object was found and not made. Nevertheless, that an australopithecine may have recognized a face would reveal that early hominids had capacity for symbolic thinking, necessary for the development of art and language.

## Controversy

Whether early hominids really saw this object as a face, as well as whether they had magical speculations towards this object or just enjoyed the pebble, remains unclear. Factors adding to the uncertainty surrounding the piece is that we do not know exactly where in the cave it was found, nor the hominid species the bones are from, nor whether these bones had been brought into the cave by animal scavengers.
