# "Five stars rising in the East" armband

The "Five stars rising in the East" armband (Chinese: 「五星出東方利中國」護膊) is an Eastern Han (25–220 AD) to Western Jin (265–316 AD) era Sichuan brocade armband embroidered with the phrase "𠄡星出東方利中國" (Wǔ xīng chū dōngfāng lì Zhōngguó), meaning "simultaneous appearance of five stars in the eastern sky is a propitious sign for the 'Middle Kingdom'", or "Five stars rising in the East, being a propitious sign for the Middle Kingdom". Another cloth of the same pattern was found later and has the words "put down South Qiang" (討南羌 Tǎo Nán Qiāng). In 2002, they were designated one of the cultural relics forbidden to be exhibited abroad.

## Discovery

The pieces were unearthed in October 1995 at the Niya ruins in Xinjiang by an archaeological team made up of Chinese and Japanese scholars. It was found near the elbow/waist area of a corpse in a rich tomb.

## Interpretation

The phrase "Five stars rising in the East, being a propitious sign for the Middle Kingdom" (五星出東方利中國) resembles a similar phrase found in the Records of the Grand Historian's scroll 27 (五星分天之中，積於東方，中國利). In the ancient times the "five stars" (the classical planets) were represented as Chenxing (辰星), Taibai (太白), Yinghuo (熒惑), Suixing (歲星) and Zhenxing (鎭星). In modern times these are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, respectively. These are also represented by "Five Elements" with water, metal, earth, fire, wood. Researchers from the Japanese observatory said the next alignment of the five stars to the east will not be until March 21, 2022.
The phrase "put down South Qiang" (討南羌) refers to the area that was first mentioned in a sentence in the Western Han Essentials's (西漢會要) scroll 46 in relation to the four ancient commandery. The four are located in today's Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Zhangye and Wuwei, in the northwestern province of Gansu, respectively.
When the two pieces are combined, it forms the phrase "Five stars rising in the East, being a propitious sign for the Middle Kingdom to put down South Qiang" (五星出東方利中國討南羌), though the meaning is up for debate.
# Black-eyed children

Black-eyed children, or black-eyed kids, in American contemporary legend, are paranormal creatures that resemble children and teenagers, with pale skin and black eyes, who are reportedly seen hitchhiking or begging, or are encountered on doorsteps of residential homes.

## History

While tabloid coverage of these creatures has claimed that tales of black-eyed children have existed since the 1980s, most sources indicate that the legend originated from 1996 postings written by Texas reporter Brian Bethel on a "ghost-related mailing list," relating two alleged encounters with "black-eyed kids." Bethel describes encountering two such children in Abilene, Texas in 1996, and claims that a second person had a similar, unrelated encounter in Portland, Oregon. Bethel's stories have become regarded as classic examples of creepypasta, and gained such popularity that he published a FAQ "just to keep up with demand for more info about the new urban legend." In 2012, Brian Bethel told his story on reality TV series Monsters and Mysteries in America. He wrote a follow-up article for the Abilene Reporter News, describing his experience and maintaining his belief that it was legitimate.
In 2012, the horror film Black Eyed Kids was produced with Kickstarter funding, its director commenting that the creepy children were "an urban legend that's been floating around on the Internet for years now, I always thought it was fascinating." A 2013 episode of MSN's Weekly Strange that featured reports of black-eyed children is thought to have helped spread the legend on the internet.
During one week in September 2014, the tabloid Daily Star ran three sensationalistic front-page stories about alleged sightings of black-eyed children, connected to the sale of a supposedly haunted pub in Staffordshire. The paper claimed a "shock rise in sightings around the world". Alleged sightings are taken seriously by ghost hunters, some of whom believe black-eyed children to be extraterrestrials, vampires, or ghosts.
Science writer Sharon A. Hill was unable to find any documentation of black-eyed child encounters, concluding that the tales are passed on as "friend of a friend" ghost stories. Hill considers the legend to resemble "typical spooky folklore stories" such as the phantom black dog, where the subject is not supernatural, and there may never have been an actual original encounter. Snopes rates tales of black-eyed children as a legend, and cites an Inquisitr article that advised readers to "(f)ile black eyed children under the same heading as 'bigfoot'. Believe it if you like, but realize that there is no evidence of their existence, just subjective testimony that ranges from reasonable to suspiciously fame-whoring".

# Paul W. Dillon Home

The Paul W. Dillon Home, often referred to as the Dillon Home, is located in Sterling, Illinois. It was home to businessman P.W. Dillon, who was the president of Northwestern Steel & Wire Company for many of its most successful years. The home was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 9, 1980.

## History

While the land itself had dozens of owners, once built, the home with the land had seven owners with only six residing within its walls. The Victorian home less its East wing, was constructed in 1858 and is cast in the Italianate style. The home was eventually purchased by Washington M. Dillon, and ultimately conveyed to his son, P.W., following his death.
In 1904, P.W. married Lucretia (Crete) Blackman Dillon, of Dixon. The couple raised their three children in P.W.'s boyhood home. To accommodate their growing family, P.W. replaced the existing small, open porch on the south with a much larger enclosed two-story porch. The northeast porch was also enclosed. Since then, the only major structural change has been the installation of an elevator in 1972. The home's grandeur is a remarkable sight, as P.W.'s wife Crete, was an avid traveler, and collector of eclectic pieces and period furniture.
P.W. and Crete lived in the home for 50 years when Crete died in 1970. Ten years later, P.W. died in the same home where he was born. Unique from most historic home museums, The Dillon Home retains all of the original furnishings and belongings, since the home and land was conveyed to the Sterling Park District after PW.’s passing in 1980.
The home opened to the public as a museum on November 18, 1980. The following year, Baldwin Steam Engine #73 was retired and moved to the south lawn along with a tender and caboose. Until its retirement, the engine was operational at Northwestern Steel & Wire, and was the last working steam engine in the United States used in an industrial application.

## Plot

In the 1890s, Ivan, a Galician peasant in a desperate attempt to get his family out of poverty decides to leave his ancestral home and emigrate to Canada. On the eve of his departure a thief gets into his house. The village judges sentence the thief to death. The departure for Canada being tantamount to his own death, Ivan holds a farewell party that feels like a funeral for him and his family. In his own memory he erects a stone cross on a hill.
Gradually, a conversation ensues between the audience, the owners are advised what punishment to apply, why they ask about the origin of the thief, where he came from and how he became a criminal. Ivan doubts whether he will do the right thing by killing a man who has committed a crime because of poverty. Gradually, the thief becomes bolder and agrees to accept the punishment, whatever it may be. Waiting for his death, he says goodbye to Ivan and kisses his hand. In the end, the owners drag the thief out of the house, although he is sincerely ready to accept death.
Ivan is preparing to leave his homeland with his sons and wife, but he is afraid that he will be forgotten, will disappear from people's memory like that thief. That's why he carves a fireplace cross in his memory. He drags him to the mountain, which he cared for years, and after descending, he says goodbye to his fellow villagers. Relatives and neighbors gather there, and Ivan's adult sons also arrive. Not everyone makes his decision, some reproach, indignant that Ivan will no longer be with them. Farewell reminds Ivan of his own funeral, he tries to cheer up those present. He thinks aloud that, in fact, the people of his homeland no longer need land, only money; the deepening chasm between the poor and the rich absorbs honesty and deprives one of confidence. Those present promise to remember Ivan and not to cross his cross. Disguised as his wife and sons in a suit, Ivan orders the musicians to play a cheerful melody.
Even before leaving, Ivan and his fellow villagers go on a procession and attend church. The words of the church service sound here like singing at the repose of John, and the cart with his belongings looks like a coffin. The family leaves with Ivan, he disappears over the horizon, and the fireplace cross remains a reminder of him.

# Baldwin of Marash

Baldwin of Marash (died 1146) was a Crusader baron in northern Syria, the lord of Marash from at least 1136.

## Biography

The chronicler Gregory the Priest says that Baldwin was the brother of Prince Raymond of Antioch and therefore the son of Duke William IX of Aquitaine. Baldwin was the chief vassal of Joscelin II, Count of Edessa. He controlled the city of Marash (modern Kahramanmaraş) and the strategic fortress of Kaysun. Baldwin’s fiefdom was in the northern border region of the Crusader states where the population was largely Armenian Christians.
In 1135, Leo I, Prince of Armenia seized Sarventikar from Baldwin of Marash. Sarventikar was a fortress on the slopes of the Amanus Mountains. In 1136 Raymond of Antioch attacked Leo I’s Armenian Kingdom in Cilicia. Baldwin of Marash marched with the Antiochenes. However Baldwin’s overlord, Count Joscelin II of Edessa, Leo’s nephew, helped the Armenians defeat the Antiochene army. After the battle, Baldwin convinced Leo to meet him. At the meeting Baldwin seized him and sent him off to Antioch as a prisoner.
That same year the Turkoman Danishmends briefly captured Marash but the city was retaken by Crusader forces the following year.
In October 1146, Baldwin accompanied Joscelin on an expedition attempting to recapture the city of Edessa from the Muslims who had conquered the city two years earlier. They entered the city but could not take the citadel before Nur ad-Din, atabeg of Aleppo surrounded Edessa with a large force. In a desperate situation Baldwin and Joscelin undertook a sortie at night. The following day Nur ad-Din caught up with them and a battle ensued in which the Christians were defeated. Count Joscelin managed to escape, however Baldwin of Marash died on the field of battle. His body was not recovered.

## Legacy

Baldwin's Armenian confessor, Barsegh, has left us a funeral oration in honour of Baldwin which praises him for his military skill, bravery and charm but criticises him for his “innumerable, endless and merciless injuries and blasphemies”. The troubadour Marcabru may refer to Baldwin in the final stanza of his Vers del lavador, when he asks God to "conduct the count to His washing-place and lay his soul to rest".
