St. James Episcopal Church, Mill Creek

St. James Episcopal Church, Mill Creek, also known as St. James Church or St. James Church, Stanton, is an historic Episcopal church located at 2106 St. James Church Road, in Stanton, Mill Creek Hundred, New Castle County near Wilmington, Delaware.

As Europeans settled in Delaware, a log structure was erected near this location circa 1703. Mill Creek Hundred was split off from Christiana Hundred (as were nearby White Clay Hundred and Pencader Hundred) in 1710, and four years later James Robinson bought 110 acres, of which he donated 10 to build a church for the community. The building was finished two years later, and the first minister was George Ross, who later became father-in-law of the flagmaker Betsy Ross.  After the American Revolution, although few Anglican clergy remained in Delaware, a layman from this church attended the first General Convention that founded the Episcopal Church, along with Rev. Charles Henry Wharton (a converted Catholic and rector of nearby Immanuel Church, New Castle) and two other layman from that parish. In 1820, the wood-frame church burned, and was rebuilt in stone during the next three years.

Bishop William White consecrated the current church in 1821, and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places as St. James Church in 1973. A rounded apsidal chancel projects from the north wall, and the interior still has white box pews and a balcony on three sides. The oldest burial in the surrounding cemetery is of John Armstrong, who died in 1726. The cemetery also contains the graves of several identified veterans of the American Revolution (and a memorial concerning lost veterans' graves).

Daniel Baker College

Daniel Baker College was founded April 5, 1889 in Brownwood, Texas, United States. It was named in memory of the Rev. Dr. Daniel Baker, a Presbyterian circuit-riding minister, who helped organize the first presbytery in Texas in 1840 and Austin College in 1849.

History
Daniel Baker College was founded by Dr. B. T. McClelland, fulfilling the plans of the Austin Presbytery to open a Presbyterian college for west Texas. Dr. McClelland, a Presbyterian minister and a graduate of Oberlin College and Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York, founded the first Presbyterian church in Brownwood in 1886. As the first president of Daniel Baker College, Dr. McClelland almost singlehandedly kept the college open during its early years, through his own personal determination.

The college's mascot was a goat named Hillbilly, which complemented their nickname, and its motto was Veritas et Humanitas, meaning "Truth and Humanity."

The institution was plagued with financial difficulties and was consolidated with nearby Howard Payne College (now Howard Payne University) in 1952.  Its campus was taken over by Howard Payne University and the main building was renovated as the Guy D. Newman Honors Academy.

Nepenthes × trusmadiensis

Nepenthes × trusmadiensis (; after Mount Trus Madi), or the Trus Madi Pitcher-Plant, is a natural hybrid of two famous Bornean pitcher plant species: N. lowii and N. macrophylla. It is restricted to Mount Trus Madi, where both of its parent species are sympatric.

Botanical history
Nepenthes × trusmadiensis was discovered by Johannes Marabini and John Briggs in 1983. It was described the same year by Marabini. Briggs wrote the following account of its discovery:

We were about to leave the summit around 8.00 a.m. when Johannes Marabini emerged from a dense bush [...] holding two huge pitchers quite unlike any other species. The most striking feature was the sheer size of the pitchers—they were bigger than anything else on Trus Madi. Later on, we were to realise that they were the second biggest pitchers of all the Borneo Nepenthes—exceeded only by those of N. rajah on Kinabalu. [...] The evidence strongly suggested the new pitcher-plant was a hybrid of N. lowii and N. edwardsiana. The great size of the pitchers agreed with this idea—being characteristic of hybrids. There was no time to investigate the distribution of this new plant. So, after collecting a few specimens we set off down the mountain for the three-day trek back to Tambunan.

Description

Nepenthes × trusmadiensis has petiolate leaves measuring up to 50 cm in length. The pitchers of this hybrid are some of the largest of any Bornean Nepenthes species, reaching 35 cm in height. They are roughly intermediate in form between those of its parent species. The lid is held away from the mouth as in N. lowii and bears short bristles on its lower surface. The peristome has prominent ribs and teeth, but is not as developed as that of N. macrophylla. The inflorescence of N. × trusmadiensis may be up to 50 cm long and has two-flowered pedicels. Despite the size of the pitchers, this hybrid is not large in stature.

Ecology
Nepenthes × trusmadiensis is restricted to the summit ridge of Mount Trus Madi and has been recorded from elevations of 2500 to 2600 m above sea level.

Zo'é

The Zo'é people are a native tribe in the State of Pará, Municipality of Óbidos, on the Cuminapanema River, Brazil. They are a Tupi–Guarani people.

Name
They are also known as the Poturu, Poturujara, or Buré. The term "Zo'é" means "us," as opposed to non-Indians or enemies. The term "Poturu" is the type of wood used to make the embe'po labrets which they wear.

Language
The Zo'é language belongs to Subgroup VIII of the Tupi-Guarani language family.

Culture
All Zo'é wear the poturu, a wooden plug piercing the bottom lip. The Zo'é have a tradition where new fathers have the backs of their calves cut with the 'tooth of a small rodent'.

The marriage rituals of the Zo'é are complex and not fully understood. It is not known how many wives or husbands one is allowed to have. Many women practice polyandry. One or more husbands may be "learning husbands": young men learning how to be good spouses, in exchange for hunting for the rest of the family.

In film
The Salt of the Earth documents the work of photographer Sebastião Salgado including his photographs of the Zo'é.

Merovingen Nights

Merovingen Nights is a series of shared universe science fiction books set in writer C. J. Cherryh's Alliance–Union universe. There are eight books in the series: a novel by Cherryh, Angel with the Sword, and seven short fiction anthologies which Cherryh edited. The books were published by DAW Books between 1985 and 1991.

Angel with the Sword was originally published by Cherryh in 1985 as a free-standing novel. The Merovingen Nights series came into being two years later when Cherryh began editing seven anthologies that were set in the same universe as Angel with the Sword. Angel with the Sword was subsequently republished with the Merovingen Nights branding.

The books take place on the planet Merovin in the Alliance-Union universe after AD 3240, and as such, they are definitively science fiction, but the level of technology on the planet is quite backwards for the 33rd century. For example, most personal weaponry is of the knife or sword variety; relatively few firearms are available and in any case nothing more advanced than a revolver. In addition, the planet Merovin is isolated, forsaken by the rest of humanity because of poor interstellar relations with an aggressive alien species, the Sharrh.

Because of these limitations on technology, trade, and travel, and because many of the stories feature swordplay and skullduggery, the series is reminiscent of the old sword and planet subgenre of speculative fiction. As such, some claim that the term science fantasy might be a more appropriate label for the books than science fiction, but Cherryh has gone to great lengths to establish that despite the low technology level of the planet, the books fall clearly within the context of her Alliance–Union science fiction universe.

Ronnie Burns (footballer)

Ronald Paul Burns (born 13 March 1973) is a former Indigenous Australian rules footballer for the Geelong Football Club and Adelaide Crows in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Biography
Burns is the nephew of former footballers Tony and Benny Vigona. He was raised at Pirlangimpi on the Tiwi Islands.

Playing career
Originally from St Mary's Football Club of the Northern Territory Football League, Burns moved to Western Australia and played colts football for Claremont Football Club before moving back to Darwin. He was lured back to Perth by the West Perth Football Club before being drafted to the Geelong Cats in the AFL. Burns led the Cats in goalkicking five times, playing as a small crumbing forward during a less-decorated time for the club.

After a period of poor play, the Cats traded Burns to the Adelaide Crows for Ben Finnin, who ultimately did not play a game for the Cats. Burns played out the rest of his career with the Crows but failed to make the same impact as he had made for the Cats.

Burns played 154 games and kicked 262 goals from 1995 to 2004.

Rho Capricorni

Rho Capricorni (ρ Cap, ρ Capricorni) is a binary star in the constellation Capricornus. Sometimes, this star is called by the name Bos, meaning the cow in Latin. In Chinese,  (), meaning Ox (asterism), refers to an asterism consisting of β Capricorni, α2 Capricorni, ξ2 Capricorni, π Capricorni, ο Capricorni and ρ Capricorni. Consequently, the Chinese name for ρ Capricorni itself is  (, .)

This system is visible to the naked eye with a combined apparent visual magnitude of +4.78. The pair orbit each other with a period of 278 years and an eccentricity of 0.91. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 33.04 mas as seen from the Earth, the system is located about 99 light years from the Sun. It is a thin disk population star system that made its closest approach to the Sun about 1.6 million years ago when it came within .

The primary member, component A, is a yellow-white hued, F-type subgiant with an apparent magnitude of 4.97 and a stellar classification of F2 IV. This star has 1.5 times the mass of the Sun and 1.3 times the Sun's radius. It is radiating 9 times as much luminosity of the Sun from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 6,911 K. The companion, component B, has a visual magnitude of 6.88. The mass ratio is 0.539, meaning the secondary is only 53.9% as massive as the primary.

Sylvester of Marsico

Sylvester (c. 1100 – 1162), count of Marsico (it), was a Norman nobleman of the Kingdom of Sicily.

Second son of Godfrey of Ragusa, second eldest son of Roger I of Sicily, he was not a young man when he first rose to importance in the realm. He immediately seized all the property of the Admiral Maio of Bari in Palermo on the latter's assassination (10 November 1160). He was then chosen by the king as one of three triumvirs to succeed Maio's place in the administration.

His appointment was made to please the aristocracy which, under Matthew Bonnellus, had murdered Maio. Sylvester, though distantly related to King William I, was possibly a conspirator with Bonnellus. His fellow triumvirs were Henry Aristippus and the Bishop Palmer.

When in 1162 William was besieging Salerno, Sylvester and Palmer interceded on behalf of the Salernitan notary Matthew of Ajello to prevent a sack. It was his last important act. He died later that year and was replaced by the caïd Peter. He left a daughter named Matilda who is buried in San Cataldo, the foundation of Maio which Sylvester had secured for himself.

Them: Adventures with Extremists

Them: Adventures with Extremists is a book by British journalist Jon Ronson published in 2001.

The book accompanied Ronson's documentary series The Secret Rulers of the World, which covered similar topics and depicted many of the same episodes. Both the series and book detail Ronson's encounters following theorists and activists residing on the fringes of the political, religious, and sociological spectrum.

Plot
Ronson chronicles his travels and interviews with "extremists" and attempts to uncover the mystery behind the "tiny elite that rules the world from inside a secret room". The book is written on the premise that perhaps extremists are not all that crazy, and as different as they may seem to be, they have a lot in common with each other (specifically the belief that a small group of very prominent people controls the fate of the entire world). From Omar Bakri Muhammad ("Osama bin Laden's man in Great Britain") to Thomas Robb (Grand Wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan), Ronson exposes the hilarity and absurdity of their missions, but also, at times, their startling sanity.

His adventures lead him from Britain to Ruby Ridge, Idaho, to Waco, Texas, to Portugal.

Alongside subjects covered in The Secret Rulers of the World, Ronson also describes encounters with radical Islamic activist Omar Bakri Muhammad, Ku Klux Klan leader Thomas Robb, Northern Irish politician Ian Paisley and film director Tony Kaye. Omar Bakri Muhammad, Thom Robb, and Ian Paisley were the subjects of the earlier Ronson documentaries, Tottenham Ayatollah, New Klan, and Dr. Paisley, I Presume.

Much of this book is dedicated to the meeting places of the Bilderberg Group.

46 Capricorni

46 Capricorni is a solitary star located around 790 light years away from the Sun in the southern constellation of Capricornus, near the northern border with Aquarius. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim, yellow-hued point of light  with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.10. 46 Cap is also known by its Bayer designation of c Capricorni (c Cap), and occasionally as c1 Capricorni to distinguish it from the nearby star c2 Capricorni. It is moving closer to the Earth with a heliocentric radial velocity of −15.5 km/s.

This star has received a stellar classification of G8Iab, which suggests it is a G-type supergiant star, as well as G7.5II-IIICN0.5, which instead indicates a luminosity class between a giant and a bright giant. Abundance analysis suggests the star has not yet passed the first dredge-up. It has 4.6 times the mass of the Sun and has expanded to 33 times the Sun's radius. The star is radiating 627 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,837 K.

Etymology

This star, along with β Aqr (Sadalsuud) and ξ Aqr (Bunda), were Saʽd al Suʽud (سعد السعود), the Luck of Lucks.

Rāhukāla

In Hindu astrology, rāhukāla () or rāhukālam () is an inauspicious period of the day, not considered favourable to start any good deed. The rāhukāla spans for approximately 90 minutes every day between sunrise and sunset. 

This inauspicious period is strictly avoided while calculating muhurtas. However, routine tasks that have already been started are regarded to be permissible to continue as usual during this period.

Astrology

Mythology
Rahu is a shadow planet and king of meteors among the Navagrahas (nine planets) mentioned in Hindu texts. During the legend known as the Samudra Manthana, an asura named Svarbhanu, disguised as a deva, appears and drinks the nectar of immortality, amrita. Svarbhanu later gets caught and is cut into two pieces by Vishnu's discus, the Sudarshana Chakra. These two pieces became Rahu and Ketu. 

Rahu is considered a malefic planet that tries to eclipse the Sun, and the time it is believed to influence is considered inauspicious.

Calculation
The rāhukāla is considered in a predefined manner during set times on the different days of the week, but can vary as per the time of sunrise as well. Its instances vary from place to place. The timing of sunrise is marked in the panchangam (almanac) and 12 hours of the day is divided into eight equal parts (say 06:00 a.m. IST to 6:00 p.m. IST). The period of rāhukāla does not occur in the first part of the day and the rest of the seven parts are attributed to other different parts of the day. Contemporarily:

 Monday: 7:30 a.m.–9:00 a.m. (2nd part)
 Tuesday: 3:00 p.m.–4:30 p.m. (7th part)
 Wednesday: 12:00 p.m.–1:30 p.m. (5th part)
 Thursday: 1:30 p.m.–3:00 p.m. (6th part)
 Friday: 10:30 a.m.–12:00 p.m. (4th part)
 Saturday: 9:00 a.m.–10:30 a.m. (3rd part)
 Sunday: 4:30 p.m.–6:00 p.m. (8th part)

Upsilon Capricorni

Upsilon Capricorni, Latinized from υ Capricorni, is a solitary star in the southern constellation of Capricornus. It has a reddish hue and is dimly visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of 5.17. The star is about 730 light years from the Sun based on parallax, but is drifting closer with a radial velocity of −12 km/s. It is 0.22 degree north of the ecliptic, so is subject to lunar occultations.

This is an aging red giant star on the asymptotic giant branch with a stellar classification of M1 III, a star that has exhausted the supply of hydrogen at its core then cooled and expanded. At present it has 76 times the radius of the Sun. It is a suspected variable star of unknown type with a brightness that has been measured ranging from a peak of 5.19 down to 5.24. The star is radiating 1,283 times the luminosity of the Sun from its swollen photosphere at an effective temperature of 3,953 K.

42 Capricorni is a binary star system in the zodiac constellation of Capricornus. It has a combined apparent visual magnitude of 5.18, so it is faintly visible to the naked eye. Its annual parallax shift of 30.09 mas yields a distance estimate of about 108 light years; the system is moving closer to the Sun with a radial velocity of −1.2 km/s. 42 Capricorni is 0.2 degree south of the ecliptic and so is subject to lunar occultations.

This is a double-lined close spectroscopic binary with an orbital period of 13.174 days and an eccentricity of 0.18. The binary nature of this system was discovered in 1918 by the English astronomer Joseph Lunt. It has a combined spectrum that matches a stellar classification of G1 IV, with the individual components having estimated classes of G1 V and G2 V. This is an RS Canum Venaticorum variable, indicating the presence of an active chromosphere with star spots. The system is a source of X-ray emission.

Segal's law

Segal's law is an adage that states:

The mood of the saying is ironic.  While at a surface level it appears to be advocating the simplicity and self-consistency obtained by relying on information from only a single source, the underlying message is to gently question and make fun of such apparent certainty – a man with one watch cannot really be sure he knows the right time, he merely has no way to identify error or uncertainty.

Nevertheless, the saying is also used in its purely surface sense, to caution against the potential pitfalls of having too much potentially conflicting information when making a decision.

History
Supposedly, the saying was coined by the San Diego Union on September 20, 1930: "Confusion.—Retail jewelers assert that every man should carry two watches. But a man with one watch knows what time it is, and a man with two watches could never be sure." Later this was — mistakenly — attributed to Lee Segall of KIXL, then to be misquoted again by Arthur Bloch as "Segal's Law".

Leo de Benedicto Christiano

Leo de Benedicto Christiano, or just Benedictus Christianus, was a Jew of Trastevere in the late eleventh century. He converted to Christianity and was baptised by Pope Leo IX, whence he took his Christian name. He related himself to the ancient patrician families of Rome by the marrying of his daughters to powerful suitors. He himself was extremely rich (probably from usury).

In January 1058, as a partisan of the newly elected Pope Nicholas II, Leo had the gates of the Leonine City thrown open for Godfrey, former duke of Lower Lorraine, and his wife, Beatrice, marchioness of Tuscany. Godfrey immediately possessed the Tiber Island and attacked the Lateran, forcing Benedict X to flee on 24 January. Leo allied himself with the reformers, including Hildebrand and Pope Alexander II, but he was unable to dispel, through negotiations, the attack of 14 April 1062 which gave Rome to Antipope Honorius II.

His son was Pier Leoni and through him he is the father of the great Pierleoni family which dominated Roman politics for much of the Middle Ages. So far as one can tell, he lived in peace with the Roman people and the pontiff, but his grandson, who was elevated to the papacy as Antipope Anacletus II, was lambasted for his Hebrew ancestry; as was another grandson, Jordan, who was elected patrician of the Commune of Rome and became also an enemy of the legitimate popes.

Phi Capricorni

Phi Capricorni (φ Cap, φ Capricorni) is a solitary star in the southern constellation of  Capricornus. It is visible to the naked eye with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.16. Based upon an annual parallax shift of 5.07 mas as seen from the Earth, the star is located about 640 light years from the Sun, give or take 30 light years.

This is an evolved, orange-hued K-type giant/bright giant star with a stellar classification of K0 II-III It shows an infrared excess, which may be due to leftover material from a mass-loss event. The star has an estimated 2.63 times the mass of the Sun, and radiates 447 times the solar luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 4,490 K. Phi Capricorni is around 1.24 billion years old and is spinning with a projected rotational velocity of 3.8 km/s.

Chinese Name
In Chinese,  (), meaning Twelve States, refers to an asterism which is represent twelve ancient states in the Spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, consisting of φ Capricorni,  ι Capricorni, 38 Capricorni, 35 Capricorni, 36 Capricorni, χ Capricorni, θ Capricorni, 30 Capricorni, 33 Capricorni, ζ Capricorni, 19 Capricorni, 26 Capricorni, 27 Capricorni, 20 Capricorni, η Capricorni and 21 Capricorni. Consequently, the Chinese name for φ Capricorni itself represents the state Chu (), together with ε Ophiuchi in Right Wall of Heavenly Market Enclosure (asterism).

R. H. Allen had opinion that φ Capricorni, together with χ Capricorni, represented the state Wei (魏).

Straight out the Jungle

Straight out the Jungle is the debut album from hip hop group Jungle Brothers. The album marked the beginning of the Native Tongues collective, which later featured popular artists such as De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest and Black Sheep. The album's masters have a lower quality to other hip-hop albums of its kind, compared to the singles.

The single "I'll House You", added to the album in late-1988 reissues, is known as the first non-Chicago hip-house record to be a sufficiently big club hit, to drastically change how the hip-hop and dance-music industries work.

Reception

In 1998, Straight out the Jungle was selected as one of The Sources "100 Best Albums".

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Tau2 Capricorni}}

Tau2 Capricorni, Latinized from τ2 Capricorni, is a triple star system in the constellation Capricornus. It is approximately 1,100 light years from Earth based on parallax. The system has a blue-white hue and a combined apparent visual magnitude of +5.20. Because it is positioned near the ecliptic, τ2 Capricorni can be occulted by the Moon. 

The primary, component A, is a B-type giant with a stellar classification of B6III and an apparent magnitude of +5.8. It has five times the mass of the Sun and is spinning rapidly with a projected rotational velocity of 170 km/s. The star is radiating 1,893 times the luminosity of the Sun from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 15,439 K.

At an angular separation of only 0.34 arcseconds is the companion, component B, a B-type subgiant star with a class of B6IV and an apparent magnitude of +6.3. These two stars orbit around their common centre of mass once every 420 years. A possible third component with an apparent magnitude of +9.5, detected by studying the star during occultation, is located 0.052 arcseconds away from the A component.

The Road Ahead: America's Creeping Revolution

The Road Ahead: America's Creeping Revolution is a 1949 book by American journalist John T. Flynn, that argues that socialism was infiltrating into the politics of the United States. The book has had at least three printings, totaling over 500,000 copies. Many of these were distributed by the Fighters For Freedom, a division of The Committee for Constitutional Government, Inc., based in New York City.

The book has no formal introduction. The author states at the bottom of the book jacket: "I wrote this book to answer a question that practically everybody is asking: Where are we heading? I thought it was about time for someone to answer it, candidly and with blunt facts". It continues with the statement that "...this country is traveling to its destruction". The book then describes events and political attitudes prevalent in post-World War II America that pointed, according to Flynn, to a shift toward socialism. This shift was being steered by the very political leaders of the day who were decrying communism in Europe on the one hand and expanding the tax burden on the American people to fight the emerging Cold War with Russia.

The book discusses the history of the rise of European socialism, beginning with the Marxist influence of the Fabian Society and nationalization of industry in England. Flynn then lists similar steps that were being taken or proposed in American politics, including the expansion of government to regulate almost every aspect of American life, elimination of the gold standard in favor of a fiat currency, the rise in tax rates to much higher levels, the burden on the Federal budget of a bloated welfare system, and "the offer of free health care".

Karl Schriftgiesser of The New York Times wrote that this book and one other “are perhaps the most important books about the contemporary American scene that we will have this year.”

Boulder, Western Australia

Boulder is a suburb of Kalgoorlie in the Western Australian Goldfields,  east of Perth.

The Boulder (horse) Races were a significant event in early twentieth century goldfields region history.

The town maintained its separation from Kalgoorlie until the 1980s, however even prior to that era, many surveys and studies of the towns and their areas tended to join the names.

Prior to 1989, Boulder was a town, but it was merged with Kalgoorlie to form the City of Kalgoorlie–Boulder.

The population of Boulder in 1901 was 2,936 (1850 males and 1086 females), which increased to 5,658 (3090 males and 2568 females) in 1903.

At the 2006 census, Boulder had a population of 5,178. This had decreased to 4,825 by the 2016 census.

On 20 April 2010 Kalgoorlie-Boulder suffered a magnitude 5.0 earthquake which damaged several of the historic buildings in Boulder.

Military history
During World War II, Boulder was the location of RAAF No.27 Inland Aircraft Fuel Depot, completed in 1942 and closed on 14 June 1944. Usually consisting of 4 tanks, 31 fuel depots were built across Australia for the storage and supply of aircraft fuel for the RAAF and the US Army Air Forces at a total cost of £900,000 ($1,800,000).
