In Greek mythology, Pallas (; Ancient Greek: Παλλάς) was a warrior and a daughter of Triton.

Mythology 
After Athena was born fully armed from Zeus' forehead, Triton, son of Poseidon and messenger of the seas, became foster parent to the goddess and raised her alongside his own daughter, Pallas. The sea god taught both girls the arts of war.

During an athletics festival, Pallas and Athena fought with spears in a friendly mock battle in which the victor would be whoever managed to disarm her opponent. At the beginning of the fight, Athena got the upper hand, until Pallas took over. Before she could win, Zeus, who was in attendance, fearing to see his own daughter lose, distracted Pallas with the Aegis, which she had once shown interest in. Pallas, stunned in awe, stood still as Athena, expecting her to dodge, impaled her accidentally.

Out of sadness and regret, Athena created the palladium, a statue in the likeness of Pallas, and wrapped the aegis, which she had feared, about the breast of it, and set it up beside Zeus and honored it. Later, Athena took on the title Pallas as tribute to her late friend.

This story about Athena and Pallas inspired a yearly festival in Libya dedicated to the goddess. A passage by Herodotus recounts this custom: "Next to these Machlyes are the Auseans; these and the Machlyes, separated by the Triton, live on the shores of the Tritonian lake. The Machlyes wear their hair long behind, the Auseans in front.

They celebrate a yearly festival of Athena, where their maidens are separated into two bands and fight each other with stones and sticks, thus (they say) honoring in the way of their ancestors that native goddess whom we call Athena. Maidens who die of their wounds are called false virgins.

Before the girls are set fighting, the whole people choose the fairest maid, and arm her with a Corinthian helmet and Greek panoply, to be then mounted on a chariot and drawn all along the lake shore.

With what armor they equipped their maidens before Greeks came to live near them, I cannot say; but I suppose the armor was Egyptian; for I maintain that the Greeks took their shield and helmet from Egypt."

The Elizabethtown Tract was a property that was purchased on October 28, 1664, by John Baily, Daniel Denton and Luke Watson from the Native Americans that is in the area of (and surrounding) present-day Elizabeth, New Jersey. The Native American witnesses to the treaty gave their names as Warinanco and Mattano.
As specified in the Deed, the purchase included the area "Bounded on the South by a River commonly called the Raritons River, and on the East by the River which Parts Staten-Island and the Main, and to run Northward up after Cull-Bay, till we come at the first River which sets Westwards up after Cull-Bay." The territory encompassed lands from the mouth of the Raritan River and included all of present-day Union County as well as parts of Somerset, Middlesex, Morris and Essex counties.

Shortly after the purchase, Denton explored the area in and surrounding his purchase. In 1670, Denton wrote the first English-language description of the area.

Oscar Beringer (14 July 1844 – 21 February 1922) was an English pianist and teacher of German descent.

He was born in Furtwangen in the Black Forest, but by 1849 he had moved to London when his father became a political refugee. Due to impoverished circumstances he was largely self taught (on a borrowed piano with lessons from his sister) until aged 19, but made several appearances as a piano soloist at the Crystal Palace Saturday Concerts in 1859-60.

At the age of 19 Beringer began a course of systematic training as a pupil of Ignaz Moscheles in Leipzig, and Carl Tausig in Berlin. In 1869 he was appointed professor at Tausig's Schule des höheren Clavierspiels in Berlin, but he returned to London in 1871. By 1873 he had established the Oscar Beringer Academy for the Higher Development of Pianoforte Playing, initially from a small house in Great Marlborough Street, then at 12 Hinde Street off Manchester Square, and later at 40 Wigmore Street in London. It was organized on the model of Tausig's school. From 1885 he was also a professor at the Royal Academy of Music. Although very successful, the Oscar Beringer Academy closed its doors in 1897.

On 14 October 1882 he was the soloist in Brahms's Second Piano Concerto for its first performance in England, and he was also the first to perform Dvorak's Piano Concerto in G minor, Op. 33 in England, at the Crystal Palace on 13 October 1883. As well as performing, teaching and examining, Beringer was also a composer, mostly of educational piano pieces. His Daily Technical Studies for Pianoforte were first published in 1889 and have remained in print. But there were also concert works, including an Andante and Allegro for piano and orchestra (performed in 1880) six piano sonatinas (published 1894) and some songs. 

Beringer's pupils included Hubert Bath, Herbert Fryer, Katharine Goodson, Violet Gordon-Woodhouse, Adolph Hallis, Cécile Hartog, Lionel Wendt and Walter Wesché. He wrote Fifty Years' Experience of Pianoforte Teaching and Playing in 1907. He was also Director of the Philharmonic Society.

He married the American-born playwright, theatrical manager, novelist, and commentator Aimée Daniell in 1873. She was billed professionally as Mrs. Oscar Beringer. Among their five children were actresses Esme Beringer and Vera Beringer, who both appeared in productions of their mother's plays. Their son Guy Beringer was a journalist. Aimée died in 1936.

Brigstock Weaver (born 1686 – died 1767) (fl. 1720–1725, first name occasionally Bridstock) was an English pirate active in the Caribbean. He is best known for his association with fellow pirates Thomas Anstis and Bartholomew Roberts.

History

Weaver had been first mate of the Mary and Martha when they were captured near Saint Kitts in 1720 by Bartholomew Roberts and Montigny la Palisse, who burned the ship and forced the crew to sign their Articles. Roberts took several more vessels, keeping the best of them for himself and placing Thomas Anstis in command of his previous ship Good Fortune. Weaver joined Anstis as first mate.

In April 1721 Anstis broke off from Roberts and took the Good Fortune with him. Soon after Anstis captured the Morning Star, fitting it out as his own ship and forcing Weaver to command the Good Fortune.  Weaver continued piracy on his own throughout 1722, looting over fifty ships from the Caribbean to Newfoundland.

He met Anstis again while careening their vessels in 1723 when they were caught while ashore by a pirate-hunting warship. After the Morning Star ran ashore and was wrecked they scattered, while Fenn took command of the Good Fortune from Weaver and used it to escape. Many of the pirates were captured but Weaver and a few others fled into the woods; soldiers found Anstis dead, murdered by his own disgruntled crew.

Weaver made his way back to Bristol, England aboard a logwood hauler. He was “in a very ragged condition” and petitioned for help from an old acquaintance, who gave him a room and a little money.  He bought new clothes and walked freely around town until by chance he met the captain of a ship he'd helped raid while serving under Anstis. The captain, Joseph Smith, offered to let Weaver go if he could replace the liquor he'd stolen off the captured ship (about 2000 pints of cider.) Weaver failed to do so; he was jailed, tried in London for piracy in May 1725, and sentenced to hang.

William Ingram and other crew who'd served with Anstis willingly were executed. Weaver's own testimony minimized his role in piracy and emphasized the fact that he had been forced aboard. Some crewmen such as the ship's doctor William Parker (who had also been captured and forced aboard) confirmed his story and in July 1725 the Admiralty Court pardoned Weaver.

Alchornea ilicifolia, commonly known as the native holly, is a bush of eastern Australia. It grows in or on the edges of the drier rainforests in coastal parts of New South Wales and Queensland.

Description 
The native holly is a shrub or rarely a small tree up to  tall and with a trunk that is usually crooked, with pale grey smooth bark, with some pustules and lenticels. Small branches greenish or fawn in color, with paler lenticels. The leaves are holly-like in appearance,  long and  wide. They are ovate or rhomboidal in shape with three or four acute lobes on each side, each of which is armed with a sharp spine. They are stiff and glabrous with a petiole around  long.

Flowers and fruit 
Greenish flowers appear in November, on racemes up to  long, with male and female flowers on separate plants. The fruit is a dark brown, three-lobed capsule about  in diameter, each lobe containing one seed. The plant may flower and fruit at any time of year after rain events.

Taxonomy
The botanist John Smith originally described this species as Caelebogyne ilicifolia in 1839, from three specimens collected by Allan Cunningham in 1829. The Swiss botanist Johann Müller gave it its current name in 1865. The generic name Alchornea honours the English botanist Stanesby Alchorne, while the species epithet ilicifolia refers to the holly-like leaves (Ilex).

Distribution and habitat
This species grows in vine thickets and monsoon forest on a variety of soil types, from Jamberoo on the south coast of New South Wales to Atherton in far north Queensland.

Ecology
Alchornea ilicifolia is a host plant for the larvae of the common albatross butterfly and the moth Dichomeris mesoctenis.

Rammetshofen is a village located 1 mile south of Oberteuringen in the Bodenseekreis of the federal state of Baden Wuerttemberg in Germany. It lies approximately 7.5 kilometers north of the Bodensee.

History 
In 1464, Joerg Count of Werdenberg and Heiligenberg, leased the Ramrachs Farm (an estate at Rammetshofen) to Ytelhans Huntpis, a citizen of Ravensburg. After Huntpis' death, the estate is again mentioned in a certificate dated 1538. In the early 19th century Rammetshofen had 58 inhabitants, which were explicitly labelled as "catholic" in a description by the relevant municipal authority in Tettnang.

Noble Consort Yimu (Chinese: 懿穆貴妃, pinyin: Yì mù guìfēi ; d. 1103) of the Xing clan, was a Chinese imperial concubine of Emperor Shenzong of the Song dynasty.

Life 
Lady Xing's personal name was not recorded in the history. Also, it is unknown where was she born or who her parents were. She entered the palace and became a servant. The Shenzong Emperor began favouring her and made her one of his concubines. On 21 June 1071, Xiang gave birth to Shenzong's 2nd son, Zhao Jin, who would die prematurely two days later, on 23 June. She was promoted to a Chongrong and gave birth to another son on 15 July 1074, Zhao Xian. The 5th Prince Xian would die prematurely on 26 January 1076. Xiang was promoted to a Wanyi, 5th rank Imperial Concubine. Concubine Xian had two more sons, Zhao Jia born 7 February 1077 and Zhao Ti born in 1078. Sadly, neither survived to adulthood.

After her husband died, his successor Zhao Xu elevated her to the rank of Able Consort (賢妃; pinyin: xián fēi) in 1085 and Noble Consort (貴妃; pinyin: guì fēi). Noble Consort Ziang died in 1103 and Emperor Huizong honoured her as Noble Consort Yimu (懿穆貴妃).
