Christian Mertel (1739 - 1802) was an American fraktur artist.

A native of Herborn, Mertel was the son of John Jacob and Elizabeth Mertel. He immigrated to the Thirteen Colonies in 1773 aboard the Crawford; a fellow passenger was John Contrad Trevitz, who would also go on to become a teacher and fraktur artist. Mertel followed his father's profession, becoming a dyer of indigo cloth. By 1793 he had acquired land in Conewago Township, Dauphin County; during this period he began to produce fraktur, primarily for his neighbors. He taught school, most likely at the institution operated by Hoffer's Brethren Meeting; even so, he produced mainly baptismal certificates during his career. Raised in the Reformed tradition, he created work for Lutheran families as well. Mertel's paintings bear the influence of other fraktur artists, including Johann Henrich Otto and Johann Jacob Friedrich Krebs, who was a neighbor; nevertheless they are marked with the stamp of individuality, containing images of castles, fish, mermaids, lions, unicorns, the Princess of Brunswick, and flowers of many varieties. He also produced zodiacs, and sent family and other acquaintances New Year's greetings every year. He died in Conewago Township; a list of effects at his death included a box of pictures, an inkstand, and a musical instrument.

Three works by Mertel are held by the Winterthur Museum, and five are in the collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. In 2016, a piece of his appeared on Antiques Roadshow, where it was appraised for between $4,000 and $6,000.

Saratoga; or Pistols for Seven is an 1870 American comedic play by Bronson Howard.  It was Howard's first successful play, and the beginning of his long career as one of the foremost American playwrights of the 19th century.

History
Howard first submitted the play to Laura Keene, who commended but declined it, and he then took it to Augustin Daly who had taken over management of the Daly's Fifth Avenue Theatre.

The play debuted on Wednesday, December 21, 1870.  It ran for 101 performances (a very successful run at the time) and closed on March 27, 1871.

The Concise Oxford Companion to American Theatre calls Saratoga "one of the finest American 19th-century comedies."  It was also among the first American plays to become popular abroad.  A version in England adapted by Francis Albert Marshall was called Brighton (after the English seaside resort town), and in Germany Seine erste und eiznige Liebe (His First and Only Love), adapted by Paul Lindau. 

Saratoga is considered important in the success of "American plays", arriving during an age when English and French plays were dominating playhouses.  As one critic wrote in 1919, at the time of the play's debut, "the American drama--that is, plays written by Americans upon American subjects, giving faithful pictures of American life and manners--virtually did not exist."

Adaptations and revivals
The play was performed around the United States for many years after its successful Broadway run.  Daly also put it on again at his theatre.  The first publication of the play in 1874 lists both the original 1870 cast and the cast of Daly's January 1874 production.  The play was re-published in 1898, and newspapers reflect it still saw some productions into the first decade of the 20th century.  Its strong popularity in the 1870s is evidenced by examples such as it being chosen in 1875 to be the first play performed at Cleveland's new Euclid Avenue Opera House.

In 1874, Charles Wyndham debuted in the English adaptation of the play called Brighton, and performed in it to great success for many years.  Howard married Wyndham's sister in 1880.

In December 1978, the Royal Shakespeare Company performed the play at the Aldwych Theatre

In 1989, playwright Terrence McNally put on "Up In Saratoga", a complete rewrite based on the original and directed by Jack O'Brien, at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego.  It opened to negative reviews, and failed to make it to Broadway.

Hakea asperma, commonly known as the Native Dog hakea, is an endangered shrub of the Proteaceae endemic to a small area in northeastern Victoria. An unusual species that has no fruit and only reproduces by suckering.

Description
Hakea asperma is an erect suckering shrub that can grow to  in height. It has erect stems and smooth, smaller branches. The rigid grey-green needle-like  leaves are  long and  wide ending in a sharp point. New leaves have white silky hairs becoming rusty coloured toward the apex. It flowers in late spring to early summer around November and produces an inflorescence containing 6 to 10 white flowers. This species does not produce fruit and only reproduces asexually by root suckering.

Taxonomy
Hakea asperma species was first formally described by botanists William Molyneux and Susan G. Forrester in 2009 in the journal Muelleria.

Distribution and habitat
Hakea asperma is  endemic to the Native Dog Flat area  north of Native Dog Falls of the Upper Buchan River district in East Gippsland Victoria where it is presently known from a single population. Hakea asperma grows in mallee communities on the lower slopes of small steep hills in shallow rocky soils in between rocks to support its roots.

Conservation status
Hakea asperma is classified as "critically endangered" by the Government of Victoria Environment Protection Amendment Act 2018  due to its exceedingly small population size of only a few plants which makes the species highly susceptible to extinction by fire or other unknown occurrences.

Charlie Wagner's Cafe is a small historic building in the shadow of the Lancaster County Courthouse in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. From 1891 to 1963 the building housed a bar, rather than a cafe, and a few hotel rooms. It has also served as a warehouse for a nearby department store and now houses lawyers' offices.

The building was designed by Lancaster architect C. Emlen Urban. It has three stories designed in the Romanesque Revival style, and surprisingly combines elements of the Queen Anne style. It is constructed of brick with cut-stone and terra cotta elements and pressed metal details. The corner entrance is recessed with a cast-iron column supporting a pair of brick arches. A pyramidal roof also emphasizes the corner, making it appear to be a tower.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

The Knysna River (in ) is a river flowing in the Western Cape province in South Africa. It has its source in the Outeniqua Mountains, in the district of Eden, then it goes towards the Indian Ocean, in which it opens with a large estuary, where is located the town of Knysna, which takes its name from the river. Its course, 40 km long, is navigable only in its final part.

The mouth of the river is called The Heads.

The name Knysna has appeared in various spellings since around the 1770s. It was referred as 'Nysna' in one of the first letters of James Callander, a Scottish seamaster, sent by the colonial government of the Cape in 1798 to survey and report on the forests, bays and rivers of the region. He builds for himself a house at The Heads. He draws the first map of the Knysna River "Chart of the Knysna, An Arm of the Sea, Seven Leagues to the Westward of Plettenberg's Bay" and expresses his opinion that the Knysna is far superior to Plettenberg Bay as an outlet for the shipment of timber.

Samuel Brittleton (17 June 1885 – 4 October 1951) was an English footballer who played at inside-left for various clubs in the 1900s. He was the brother of England international Tom Brittleton.

Football career
Brittleton was born in Winsford, Cheshire and started his professional career at Stockport County in August 1905, a few months after his brother had left County to join Sheffield Wednesday. After three years with Stockport County, without breaking into the first team, he moved to Preston in February 1908 followed by a further move in the summer of 1908 to join Chorley of the Lancashire Combination.

At Chorley, Brittleton began to establish a reputation as a useful inside-forward and attracted the attention of several Football League clubs. In the summer of 1909, he had agreed to join Manchester City, who had just been relegated from the Football League First Division with the two clubs arguing over the size of the transfer fee. Before a deal could be completed, he was signed by Southampton of the Southern League.

He made his debut for the "Saints" in a 1–1 draw at Queens Park Rangers on 25 September 1909, when he replaced Frank Jordan at inside-left. Described as "sometimes brilliant, sometimes hopeless", Brittleton lost his place in the side after a run of nine matches, with Bob Carter replacing him. In March, after an injury to John Bainbridge, Carter moved to outside-right with Brittleton being recalled at inside-left. He marked his recall by scoring in a 1–1 draw at West Ham followed by another goal a week later against Portsmouth.

In the summer of 1909, Brittleton decide to return to North West England although Southampton retained his registration. He was released a year later and rejoined his former club, Chorley before spending a year at Accrington Stanley.

The neglected firm effect is the market anomaly phenomenon of lesser-known firms producing abnormally high returns on their stocks. The companies that are followed by fewer analysts will earn higher returns on average than companies that are followed by many analysts. The abnormally high return exhibited by neglected firms may be due to the lower liquidity or higher risks associated with the stock.
At the same time, the impact on returns,  and regarding earnings management is not always clear.

According to Investopedia:  "Neglected firms are usually the small firms that analysts tend to ignore. Information available on these companies tends to be limited to those items that are required by law, on the other hand, have a higher profile, which provides large amounts of high quality information (in addition to legally required forms) to institutional investors such as pension or mutual fund companies."
