# John Brand (antiquarian)

John Brand (19 August 1744 – 11 September 1806) was an English antiquarian and Church of England clergyman. He was author of Observations on Popular Antiquities: including the whole of Mr Bourne's "Antiquitates Vulgares," with addenda to every chapter of that work.

## Life

Born in Washington, County Durham, he was educated at the Royal Grammar School in Newcastle upon Tyne. He was initially apprenticed as a cordwainer, and later was ordained, holding in succession the curacies of Bolam, Northumberland, of St Andrew's, Newcastle, and of Cramlington. But with assistance from friends he entered Lincoln College, Oxford at the age of 28 and obtained a degree in 1775.
Brand was appointed Secretary to the Society of Antiquaries of London in 1784 and was annually re-elected until his death.
He was buried in the nearby churchyard of St Mary-at-Hill. When this churchyard was cleared, his remains were moved to West Norwood Cemetery within the enclosure that the church acquired there in 1847.

## Works

Brand wrote Observations on the popular antiquities of Great Britain: Including the Whole of Mr. Bourne's Antiquitates Vulgares (1777), generally referred to as Popular Antiquities. (The incorporated work was the Popular Antiquities of Henry Bourne, published 1725, with Brand's own extensive annotations). Material from it was afterwards broadly incorporated into William Hone's Every Day Book, Year Book, etc., and in Chambers' Book of Days, which had wide popular circulation. The Popular Antiquities were further revised and enlarged by Sir Henry Ellis. The expression "popular antiquities" was overtaken in the 19th century by "folklore". The book was again reworked as an alphabetical dictionary in Faiths and folklore ; a dictionary of national beliefs, superstitions and popular customs, (1905) by William Carew Hazlitt.

# Phyllonorycter deserticola

Phyllonorycter deserticola is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is found in restricted, mostly arid habitats over a broad portion of the south-western United States and northern Mexico from southern Utah to Durango and west to northern California.
The length of the forewings is 2.9-3.8 mm. Adults are on wing from late July to early October in two generations, with the second generation overwintering.
The larvae feed on Populus species, including Populus fremontii, Populus deltoides wislizeni, Populus x parryi (Populus freemontii x Populus trichocarpa). They mine the leaves of their host plant.
# John Bowen (alderman)

Alderman John Bowen JP (16 December 1844 – 16 April 1926) was a British businessman and was High Sheriff of Worcestershire.
Bowen's father was a blacksmith from Rochford, Worcestershire.
In 1875, he founded the firm of builders, John Bowen and Sons, in Birmingham, which was subsequently responsible for several notable buildings, not least Victoria Law Courts, and several others, on Corporation Street in that city.
He served as a magistrate in Worcestershire, was elected as an alderman for the county in 1892, and was High Sheriff of Worcestershire in 1916–17. Bowen is buried, with his second wife, at Brandwood End Cemetery.
In 2014 the Birmingham Civic Society unveiled a blue plaque in his honour, with the intention of affixing it to another of his buildings, a school now known as The Ark Academy in Tindal Street, in the city's Balsall Heath. The unveiling was attended by three High Sheriffs, for the West Midlands (Tim Watts), Powys (Philip Bowen), and Worcestershire (Michael Hogan), as well as Deputy Lord Lieutenant David Bradnock. Bowen once lived on Tindal Street, and later lived in Moseley, in a house called Rochford (52°27′11″N 1°53′35″W﻿ / ﻿52.45300°N 1.89298°W﻿ / 52.45300; -1.89298; since demolished), on Strensham Hill.
A biography, Alderman John Bowen J.P. 'Honest John' by Bowen's great-grandson, Anthony Collins, was published in 2014.

# Pier 63

Pier 63 was the name for a former Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad railroad barge on the Hudson River in Chelsea, Manhattan, New York City. It was originally located near 23rd Street, adjacent to Chelsea Piers and Hudson River Park. It had been purchased from a used car salesman in Staten Island by John Krevey in October 1996 and delivered by a tugboat. This barge formerly carried railroad boxcars across the Hudson River before the advent of containerized freight or tunnels beneath the river. The land side of Pier 63 was formerly used as a freight transfer station for the Baltimore and Ohio railroad where freight was moved from the boxcars on the barges to local conveyance.
In the spring of 2007 the barge was relocated from 23rd Street to Pier 66A at 26th Street, on the Hudson River, and was renamed Pier 66 Maritime. The barge currently has an Erie Lackawanna caboose on display.
Two historical boats were primarily located here: the lightvessel Frying Pan and the fireboat John J. Harvey.
On the same Pier 66A, there are storage facilities for kayaks, as well as a dock to launch. New York Water Taxi once had a stop on the Pier.
John Krevey, who ran Pier 66 Maritime, died on February 4, 2011. Krevey was one of the earliest members of Friends of Hudson River Park and a member of the Friends’ board of directors until 2010.

# John Cromar

John "Jock" Cromar (1859/1860–1942) was a Scottish-Australian seaman and author, who wrote the book Jock of the Islands, a supposed retelling of his experiences in Melanesia during the late 19th century. Described by Charles Morris Woodford as a "derelict of the labor trade", Cromar was for several decades active in the recruiting industry in the Solomon Islands.

## Life and career

Cromar was born in Aberdeen, and entered into sailing "at a young age". At the age of 23, Cromar was recruited onto the schooner Forest King, which recruited kanaka labour for sugar and cotton plantations in Queensland. From 1885 to 1886 Cromar was a recruiting officer on the ship Helena, under the command of Aisiselaus Tonarus. Throughout his life, he managed numerous plantations on the Solomon Islands, and was the captain of several small ships. He had good relations with Kwaisulia, the strongest political leader in the area, but somewhat more strained relations with Foulanga, another prominent local leader, who Cromar described as "a man who it was unsafe to put any trust in at all". In his later years, he mostly operated as a trader on Marovo Island. He lived in the Solomon Islands until late 1936, when he left for Australia. Cromar continued to sail until the age of 75.

### Jock of the Islands

In 1935, Cromar's book Jock of the Islands, published by Faber & Faber and edited by Stanley Knibbs, was released. The book was noted as one of the few first-hand accounts of experiences in Melanesia during the time period it covered. It was originally released for the price of eight shillings and sixpence. Cromar claimed in Jock of the Islands that, while aboard the Forest King, he had been told a story of the murder of John Gibson Paton and his wife, who in actuality died peacefully. Cromar also claimed to have seen an islander with an eight-inch tail.
Jock of the Islands was well received by critics. The Melbourne-based newspaper The Australasian gave a positive review of the book, describing it as "a tale of romance and strange adventure", and "though dark with tragedy...an entertaining book", while also praising its illustrations, and noting Cromar's frankness when discussing sexual liaisons between sailors and local women. H.M. Hall, whose comments were published in The Worker, described it as "interesting", declaring that it would "be of interest to old-school Laborites". In their review of the book, The Sun declared that Cromar "tells picturesquely the story, as he saw it, of an almost forgotten phase of our industrial story", and declared that "There is not much literary grace in the writing, but it is a lively narrative, and well worth reading." As a work, Jock of the Islands is not focused on the routine business of recruiting, instead being focused more on stories of the dangerous and romantic encounters Cromar claims to have experienced during his career. This has made it somewhat frustrating for historians to study and analyse the book.

## Death

Cromar passed away shortly prior to 4 December 1942 in Brisbane, of unspecified causes at the age of 82. He remained unmarried throughout his life.

# Piezodorus lituratus

Piezodorus lituratus, the gorse shield bug, is a species of Pentatomidae, a family of shield bugs.

## Varieties

* Piezodorus lituratus var. lituratus (Fabricius, 1794)
* Piezodorus lituratus var. alliaceus (Germar, 1823)

## Distribution

This species is present in Africa, in most of Europe, in Northern Asia (excluding China) and in North America.

## Habitat

These shield bugs live in many habitats where host plants are present. They prefer dry and warm habitats, especially with sandy soil.

## Description

Piezodorus lituratus can reach a length of 10–13 mm (0.39–0.51 in). These large shieldbugs occur in two adult colour forms. In the spring when they emerge and mate they are predominantly green, while the new generation that appears in the late summer has purplish-red markings on the pronotum and corium. In autumn they have a much paler color, prior to hibernation they may become darker, but after hibernation they are bright green.
In Piezodorus lituratus var. alliaceus the corium shows a uniform yellow-greenish color.
This species could be confused with the green shieldbug, Palomena prasina, but Piezodorus lituratus has a different habitat and red antennae.

## Biology

Mating takes place from May to July, the females lay 10 to 20 eggs on the stems, leaves and fruits of the host plants. The nymphs occur until September. The adults of the new summer generation can be found from the end of July or beginning of August. Hibernation occurs in the imago stage.
The main host plants are various legumes (Fabaceae), especially common broom (Sarothamnus scoparius) and dyer's greenweed (Genista tinctoria), but also alfalfa (Medicago sativa), vetches (Vicia species), sweet-clover (Melilotus species), crown vetches (Coronilla species) sainfoins (Onobrychis species), lupin (Lupinus species) and others.

# Pike River, South Australia

Pike River is a locality in the Australian state of South Australia located in the Riverland in the state’s east on the southern side of the Murray River about 210 kilometres (130 mi) north-east of the state capital of Adelaide and about 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) south-east of the municipal seat of Renmark.
Its name and boundaries were created on 16 October 2000. The name is derived from Pike River, a stream which enters the Murray River from within the locality and which forms part of its southern boundary.
Pike River extends from the centre of the Murray River channel in the north-west to higher ground both in the south and in the east over a floodplain known in one source as the Pike River Basin and in another as the Pike Floodplain and which it shares with the localities of Mundic Creek and Paringa in the north. Most of the floodplain located in what is now the locality was flooded by the 1956 Murray River flood and those parts existing as permanent water bodies are part of the nationally important wetland known as the Pike-Mundic Wetland Complex. Stanitzki Road (also known as the Loxton-Paringa Road) passes through the locality connecting it to both the Sturt Highway in the east and to the town of Loxton in the south-west as well as forming part of its western boundary.
Land use within Pike River consists of ‘primary production’ activities such as agriculture, fishing and sand mining, recreation activities concerned with watercraft, fishing and hunting, some residential use and irrigation. Land to the south of Stanitzki Road which is located on higher ground is zoned for ‘Primary Production’. Land to the north of Stanitzki Road which is located on the floodplain is either zoned as the ‘River Murray Flood Zone’ or the ‘River Murray Fringe Zone’ and is subject to statutory control for the purposes of “conservation and improvement of water quality” as per the requirements of the River Murray Act 2003.
Pike River is located within the federal division of Barker, the state electoral district of Chaffey and the local government area of the Renmark Paringa Council.
