William Henry Gilder

William Henry Gilder (August 16, 1838 – February 5, 1900), was an American soldier, journalist, explorer and writer.

Biography
He was born in Philadelphia, the son of a clergyman, also named William Henry Gilder. At the beginning of the Civil War, the younger Gilder enlisted in the 5th New York Infantry (Duryée's Zouaves), was transferred to the 40th New York, and was mustered out with the rank of captain and brevet major. During a large part of the war he served on the staff of Gen. Thomas W. Egan.

From 1871 to 1877, he was managing editor of the Newark Register and from 1878 to 1880 was second in command on the expedition of Frederick Schwatka to King William Land in search of the relics of Sir John Franklin. This expedition was marked by the longest sledge journey on record at that time — 3,251 statute miles. He accompanied the De Long expedition on Rodgers under Captain Berry and, after the burning of the vessel on the western shore of Bering Strait, made a midwinter journey of nearly 2,000 miles (3,200 km) across Siberia to telegraph to the government the news of the disaster. He afterwards participated in the search for De Long in the Lena delta. In 1883 he was in Tongking as a war correspondent during the French-Annamese conflict and in 1884 visited the region of the earthquakes in Spain. On his expeditions and travels he was a correspondent of the New York Herald. He published Schwatka's Search: Sledging in the Arctic in Quest of the Franklin Records (1881) and Ice-Pack and Tundra (1883).

He was the brother of Richard Watson Gilder, Jeannette Leonard Gilder and Joseph Benson Gilder.

Hermon di Giovanno

Hermon di Giovanno (born Hermolaus Ionides, ; 17 December 1897 – April 1969) was an American mystic painter.

He was born in Mytilene, Lesbos Island, Ottoman Empire (now Greece), but lived for most of his life in Boston, Massachusetts. In early adulthood, he performed as an operatic tenor, but was eventually forced to abandon his singing career after suffering difficulties with his voice. He had changed his name (from his original name, Hermolaus Ionides) to an Italian one because he had been advised that it would assist him with his opera career. According to his close friend, the composer Alan Hovhaness, "...he wanted to be an opera singer when he was young. Some local conductor said he should have an Italian name, so he had this peculiar name that didn't have anything to do with him, but is a translation."

In Boston, while working at the counter of a Boston-area Hayes-Bickford's (a cafeteria-style restaurant), he befriended Alan Hovhaness and the painter Hyman Bloom, who often ate dinner there. Beginning around the early 1940s, the three often met to listen to Indian classical music and discuss various mystical subjects. Also a member of this circle was Dr. Elizabeth A. Gregory, a Boston pediatrician to whom di Giovanno gave a number of his paintings just before his final return to Greece. Gregory donated these paintings to Bates College in Lewiston, Maine.

It was not until he was in his forties that di Giovanno began painting. Although he first began modestly, drawing on paper in black and white, eventually Hyman Bloom encouraged him to work in color, supplying him with a box of colored pastels. Di Giovanno believed his artworks to be directly inspired by otherworldly supernatural forces.

Hovhaness often referred to di Giovanno as his "spiritual guide" and "psychic teacher," and stated that he was often referred to as "the Socrates of Boston." Hovhaness believed that di Giovanno provided the "spiritual forces" required to allow him to compose his Easter Cantata (1953), and his Symphony No. 6, "Celestial Gate" (1959) is named after an artwork by di Giovanno. Hovhaness's Symphony No. 9, "St. Vartan" (1950), while not originally dedicated to di Giovanno, was later dedicated to him (possibly at the time of the symphony's recording, after di Giovanno's death).

Di Giovanno exerted an influence on the American painter David Barbero (1938–1999), who met di Giovanno in 1957 , and was also a mentor to the artist Paul Shapiro and the musician Gil Magno.

Di Giovanno's great-nephew, the Athens, Georgia singer-songwriter Peter Alvanos, counts him as one of his primary inspirations, and named his band, Fabulous Bird, after one of di Giovanno's paintings. The Fort Smith, Arkansas punk rock band, Giovanno, uses his surname as his artwork has inspired their early lyrics.

Inosaurus

Inosaurus (meaning "In Tedreft lizard") is the name given to a dubious genus of theropod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous-aged "Continental intercalaire" and Early Cretaceous (Albian)-aged Echkar Formation of Niger and possibly from the Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian)-aged Baharija Formation of Egypt The type, and only species, is Inosaurus tedreftensis.

Classification and taxonomy
The type specimen was described by Albert-Félix de Lapparent in 1960, after being discovered by de Lapparent in 1953. The genus was also commented on by de Lapparent in 1959. The binomial name is derived from the location of the site, In Tedreft. De Lapparent based the species on a set of remains found in a single location, a number of vertebrae and the top end of a left tibia. They were probably discovered in a stratum of the Early Cretaceous "Continental intercalaire". He also indicated four other specimens, all vertebrae found in Niger in the Tegama Group, early Albian, as paratypes. All the specimens are part of the collection of the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle in Paris. Apart from these De Lapparent referred three caudal vertebrae, ?IPHG 1912 VIII 63c, ?IPHG 1912 VIII 63e and ?IPHG 1912 VIII 63g, described by Ernst Stromer in 1934 from the Baharija Formation of Egypt to Inosaurus, but they probably belong to an indeterminate theropod unrelated to Inosaurus.
All vertebrae share the same morphology. Despite being from a small animal they are robustly built and very high with enlarged chevron facets and a median groove on the underside.

Inosaurus is today considered a nomen dubium because of the fragmentary nature of the fossils discovered.

Sugar-baker

A sugar-baker was the owner of a sugar house, a factory for the refining of raw sugar from Barbados. Sugar refining would normally be combined with sugar trading, which was a lucrative business. The architectural historian Kerry Downes gives an example of one sugar baker's house in Liverpool being estimated to bring in £40,000 a year in trade from Barbados.

Gangster of Love

"Gangster of Love" is a blues song recorded by Johnny "Guitar" Watson in 1957.  When he re-recorded the song in 1978, it became a hit.  It is perhaps Watson's best known song and several artists have recorded interpretations.

Original song
Johnny "Guitar" Watson first recorded a demo version of "Gangster of Love" while he was with RPM Records in the mid-1950s.  In 1957, he recorded a version of the song, a mid-tempo blues shuffle featuring a stop-time arrangement, which was released by Keen Records.  The single did not appear in the record charts. However, with Johnny Otis producing, Watson re-recorded the song in 1963 for King Records.  The newer recording gained wider exposure, but again did not reach the charts.

1970s version
In 1978, during his "flamboyant funkster" phase, Watson's recorded an updated "Gangster of Love" for DJM Records.  It became a hit, reaching number 32 during a stay of thirteen weeks on Billboard's Hot Soul Singles chart.  The song was a feature of his live shows, with some performances playing up the gangster theme with a simulated siren and a mock police bulletin.  Most versions open with:

Legacy
Author David Ritz has identified "Gangster of Love" as Watson's "most famous song" and the different recordings have been released on numerous compilations of Watson's music. Additionally, the song has been adapted by a variety of artists. The Steve Miller Band recorded it for their album Sailor (1968). In an album review for AllMusic, Amy Hanson commented:

In 1973, "The Joker", written by Miller, was his first number one hit and included the line "some call me the gangster of love".

Tranum

Tranum is a village in North Jutland, Denmark. It is located in Jammerbugt Municipality.

History
Tranum was first mentioned in 1471 as ”Trannum”, which originates from the bird, crane (trane in Danish) and the ending –um, which meant ”home”. The church of Tranum was built around 1200, whilst the tower was constructed in 1763.

Bajos de Haina

Bajos de Haina (Standard ), mostly known simply as Haina, is a town and municipality in the San Cristóbal Province, of the Dominican Republic. It is close to the capital Santo Domingo, and may be regarded as part of the metropolitan area of Greater Santo Domingo.

History
According to some versions, Miguel Díaz, who had migrated from La Isabela, arrived in Haina after having injured a man who was intimately related to the Spanish authorities. Once he settled there, he married a native woman named Catalina who told him of a gold deposit in the western bank of the Haina River. After confirming the existence of the precious metal, he returned to La Isabela where he told Christopher Columbus and his brother Bartholomew of his discovery. The Admiral sent his brother to confirm the existence of the deposit, since he had to leave for Europe.

Bartholomew realized that there indeed was gold and decided to build a fort that he named San Cristóbal, which served as lodging for the soldiers that participated in this activity.

A very large gold nugget was found in 1502, at the western bank of the Haina River, eight kilometers from Villa Altagracia, in a place known as Madrigal. The nugget was sent to Spain, but the ship that carried it sank along with Governor Francisco de Bobadilla, cacique Guarionex and dozens of Spaniards.

Most recently the municipality of Haina is known for many years to be one of the fastest growing economies within the Dominican Republic. The refinery and the zona franca or duty-free zone are among the most important sources for employment in the whole province  of San Cristobal.

Pollution
Bajos de Haina has been referred to as the 'Dominican Chernobyl'. According to the United Nations, the population of Haina has been considered to have the highest level of lead contamination in the world, and its entire population carries indications of lead poisoning. The contamination is believed to have been caused by the past industrial operations of the nearby Baterías Meteoro, an automobile battery recycling smelter. Although the company has moved to a new site, the contamination still remains.

Bajos de Haina was named as one of the ten most polluted places on earth by the US based environmental group the Blacksmith Institute in 2006.

Between December 2008 and March 2009, Blacksmith conducted cleanup, coordinating the removal of over 6,000 cubic meters of contaminated soil from the site, which has been turned into a local park. Following the remediation and a number of community education campaigns, blood lead levels have significantly dropped and are now at acceptable levels.  Haina is no longer on Blacksmith's list of world's worst polluted places.

Haina was one of the locations featured on Team Seas, a project led by American YouTubers MrBeast and Mark Rober. Both of them traveled to the beach and helped clean up the trash, as well as try and help find cleaner ways to dispose of the trash.

Jashwant Rao Chitambar (5 September 1879 – 4 September 1940) was the first Indian bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church of North and South India, elected in 1930.

Early life
Chitambar was born in Allahabad, United Provinces, India.  He was the son of native preacher Rajaram Chitambar, who was a converted Mahratta Brahmin, one of the first converts to Christianity as a result of missionary work in western India.  Both of Chitambar's parents were of the high caste Indians, who converted to Christianity.

Ordained ministry
Chitambar was accepted into the membership of the North India Annual Conference in 1907.  He became a Hindustani pastor, district superintendent, and educator.  He was the first Indian delegate to General Conference.  One of the founders of the National Missionary Society of India, Chitambar was a delegate to the World's Missionary Conference in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1910.

Episcopal ministry
He was elected to the episcopacy of the M.E. Church by the Central Conference of Southern Asia in 1930.  His election made him the first native Protestant bishop.  He became ill on his return from the General Conference of 1940, and he died 4 September 1940 in Jubbulpore, India.  He was buried in Jubbulpore.

Assyrian Evangelical Church

The Assyrian Evangelical Church is a Presbyterian church in the Middle East that attained a status of ecclesiastical independence from the Presbyterian mission in Iran in 1870.

Members

Its members are predominantly ethnic Assyrians, an Eastern Aramaic speaking Semitic people who are indigenous to Upper Mesopotamia (what had been Assyria between the 25th century BCE and 7th century CE), and descendants of the ancient Assyrians. (see Assyria, Assyrian continuity and Assyrian people).

Most Assyrian Evangelicals (as well as members of the Assyrian Pentecostal Church), before conversion to Protestantism, had initially been members of the Assyrian Church of the East; its later 18th century offshoot, the Chaldean Catholic Church; or the Syriac Orthodox Church. The vast majority of ethnic Assyrians remain adherents of these ancient Eastern Rite churches to this day.

Locations
There are several Assyrian Evangelical churches in the diaspora, e.g. in San Jose, Sydney, Melbourne, Turlock, and Chicago. There are also a few in Lebanon and as well as in Jordan, although Arabic services are more common in these countries.

Incidents
In 2010, Iranian Assyrian pastor Wilson Issavi was arrested in Kermanshah and detained for 54 days for allegedly attempting to convert Muslims to Christianity. Whilst in prison, Issavi was allegedly tortured as he had bruises and marks from beatings on his body.

Lü Ju

Lü Ju (died 12 November 256), courtesy name Shiyi, was a military general of the state of Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period of China. He was the second son of Lü Fan, a general who served under Sun Quan, the founding emperor of Wu. In 252, following Sun Quan's death, Wu's rival state, Wei, sent an army to invade Wu, leading to the Battle of Dongxing. Lü Ju participated in the battle alongside the Wu regent Zhuge Ke and general Ding Feng, and defeated the enemy. In 256, he got into conflict with the Wu regent Sun Chen and committed suicide after being cornered by the latter's forces.

Poa annua

Poa annua, or annual meadow grass (known in America more commonly as annual bluegrass or simply poa), is a  widespread low-growing turfgrass in temperate climates. Notwithstanding the reference to annual plant in its name, perennial bio-types do exist. This grass originated as a hybrid between Poa supina and Poa infirma. Major chromosomal rearrangements after polyploidy have contibuted to variation in genome size in Poa annua.

Description
It has a slightly creeping, fibrous, rootstock. The stem grows from 15–25 cm (6-10 in.) high. It is slightly flattened, due to being folded rather than rolled.

The panicle is open and triangular shaped, 5 to 7.5 cm (2 to 3 in.) long. The spikelets are stalked, awnless, 1 to 2 cm (3/8 to 3/4 in.) long when flowering, and loosely arranged on delicate paired or spreading branches.  Sometimes they are tinged purple.

The vivid green leaves are short and blunt at the tips, shaped like the prow of a small canoe.  They are soft and drooping.  Long sheaths clasp the stem.  The leaves are smooth above and below, with finely serrated edges.  Occasionally the leaves are serrated transversely.

The ligule is pointed and silvery. Compared this to Common Meadowgrass Poa pratensis, which has a squared ligule, and Poa trivialis, which has a pointed, but less silvery ligule.

The leaves are smooth above and below, with finely serrated edges.  Occasionally the leaves are serrated transversely.

It is in flower all year around except for severe winters.  The seeds ripen and are deposited 8 months of the year.  The plant grows rapidly from seed, flowering within 6 weeks, seeding and then dying.

Etymology
Poa is derived from the Greek name for a type of fodder grass. Annua is Latin, meaning 'annual' or 'lasting a year'.

Distribution and habitat
It is a common weed of cultivation, known in the Americas as annual bluegrass. It occurs as a common constituent of lawns, where it is also often treated as a weed, and grows on waste ground. Many golf putting greens, including the Oakmont Country Club greens, are annual bluegrass, although many courses have converted to creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera).

It has appeared on King George Island in the Antarctic South Shetland Islands  as an invasive species, as well as on Australia's subantarctic Heard and Macquarie Islands.

Stadtgrenze station

Stadtgrenze station is a Nuremberg U-Bahn station, located on the U1.
Although it is officially tagged Nuremberg Stadtgrenze, its buildings are located in Fürth. Stadtgrenze means town limit in German.

History
As the U1 line was built from East to West, the opening of this station and the one immediately to the West (Jakobinenstraße station) on the same day marked the beginning of subway service to Fürth, replacing the tram which had ceased serving Fürth the year prior.

Korea Liberation Corps

The Korea Liberation Corps () was a Korean association formed in 1913 to fight against Japanese rule. At its height its members numbered about 200. The Korea Liberation Association (대한광복회, 大韓光復會) was a successor organization to Korea Liberation Corps.

The corps was initially organized in Punggi by Kim Byeong-yeol, Kang Byeong-su, Yu Chang-sun, Jang Du-hwan, Yi Gak, Han Hun, Yu Jang-yeol, Jeong Jin-hwa, Chae Gi-jung, Jeong Man-gyo, Hwang Sang-gyu, Kim Sang-ok, and Jeong Un-hong. This group is sometimes called the "Punggi Gwangbokdan," or Punggi Liberation Corps.  In 1915 this group united with a group of independence leaders in Daegu at an assembly in Dalseong Park, to officially form the Korea Liberation Corps. Its first commander-in-chief was Park Sang-jin. This anti-Japanese independence group sourced money for the training of troops, trained troops, planned assassinations of pro-Japanese Koreans (and other pro-Japanese in Korea), formed a provisional government, and worked with domestic and foreign organizations (to increase foreign understanding of Korea under Japanese occupation and get foreign funding) in the 1910s.

A memorial park for the corps was created in Punggi-eup in 1994 and completed in 2003.
