History
Prices Fork is within the area often referred to as the German New River Settlement, Before 1745, German immigrants moved from Pennsylvania and began settling in this region within the Prices Fork-Tom's Creek area near and along the horseshoe bottoms of the New River. They were among the earliest settlers of European descent in the western section of present-day Virginia. Prices Fork received its name from the Price (Preisch) family, early German settlers here, whose land bordered both sides of the road. Prices Fork evolved into a village during the mid-19th century. Portions of the community's buildings are within the Prices Fork Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places.

Guaifer of Salerno

Guaifer (also Guaifar, Waifer, Waifar, or Guaiferio) (c. 835 – 880) was the Prince of Salerno from 861.  The son of Daufer the Mute and grandson of Daufer the Prophet, he was the first of the Dauferidi to sit on the Salernitan throne which his family dominated unobstructed until 977.  

Guaifer's sister, Adelchisa, had married Sicard of Benevento and when Sicard was assassinated and Radelchis usurped the throne, Guaifer helped release Siconulf, the dead prince's brother, and supported him in his war with Radelchis for the throne, even proclaiming him prince in Salerno.  In 851, the great principality of Benevento was officially divided between Benevento and Salerno by the Emperor Louis II.  Siconulf's son and successor fell under the control of Peter, who, in December 853, received Louis's recognition as prince.  He was succeeded by his son Adhemar, but the latter's rule was unpopular and by 859, Capua, a Salernitan vassal desiring independence, was wearing away at princely authority with its attacks.  In 861, matters came to a head and Guaifer leading a popular revolt, removed Adhemar and imprisoned him, blinding him later.  To solidify his own position he exiled his own nephew, another Daufer.  This was all seen as rebellion by the Emperor Louis, but he was occupied elsewhere. 

At the beginning of his reign, a restive Capua, which had gone through several internal upheavals, under the gastald or count Landulf II made a move for independence, but Guaifer kept them securely in the Salernitan fold. Nonetheless, Guaifer married Landelaica, daughter of Lando I of Capua, by whom he had a son, Guaimar, who succeeded him.  In 865, Guaifer founded the monastery of San Massimo, where he and his descendants are buried, and in 868, he richly endowed it with grants in land and money. Despite his status as a Christian prince, he was not usually at war with the Moslems and may even have been their foedus for a time (according to Erchempert).  They besieged his city in 871–872, but to no avail. He retired to or was forced by his son into the monastery of Monte Cassino in 880, but died very soon after.

David Steelman

David Steelman is an American politician from the state of Missouri.

David Steelman earned a B.A. in economics from the University of Missouri, and graduated first in his class from the University of Missouri Law School in 1978. He is the son of the late Dorman L. Steelman, who served in the Missouri House of Representatives, as a circuit judge, and as chairman of the Missouri Republican Party.

Steelman, a Republican, was elected to his first term in the Missouri House of Representatives in 1978 at the age of 25 (under the state constitution, the minimum age for a state representative is 24).  He was re-elected in 1980 and 1982, and was chosen by his colleagues to serve as minority floor leader. Steelman did not seek re-election in 1984, returning to the practice of law in his native Rolla, Missouri. Steelman's House colleague William L. Webster was elected Attorney General in 1984 and re-elected in 1988, and Steelman eventually went to work for Webster as an Assistant Attorney General.

Webster vacated the Attorney General's office to run unsuccessfully for governor in 1992, and Steelman ran to succeed him. In the Republican primary, Steelman faced Assistant United States Attorney John Hall, a moderate Republican who previously had worked for former U.S. Senator John C. Danforth and for then-Governor Kit Bond. Danforth campaigned aggressively for Hall, while Steelman attacked Hall's relative liberalism and his Harvard pedigree.

Steelman won the Republican primary handily but lost the general election to Jay Nixon, 51% to 45%.  The general election featured Nixon and Steelman both engaging in frequent personal attacks against one another, which surely contributed to the 4% of votes received by the Libertarian candidate.

Steelman has not sought elective office since 1992, instead focusing on his law practice. His wife, Sarah Steelman served in the Missouri State Senate from 1999 to 2005, as state treasurer from 2005 to 2009, and was a candidate for Governor of Missouri in 2008, until she lost the Republican primary. In 2012 she lost a bid for the US Senate in the Republican primary against Representative Todd Akin.

Searsia pendulina

Searsia pendulina, commonly known as the white karee (English) or witkaree (Afrikaans), is a hardy, very fast growing, semi-deciduous tree. It is native to Namibia and to the Free State and Cape Provinces of South Africa. It occurs naturally along the Orange River and some of its tributaries.

Description
Searsia pendulina is wind and drought resistant and has a pleasing, slightly drooping effect, somewhat similar to a weeping willow. It can reach a height of up to 10 metres but usually only reaches 6 to 8 metres height, with a spread of about 5 metres. The species is protected in the Northern Cape.

In summer it produces sprays of inconspicuous flowers that attract insects. Male and female flowers are on separate trees and the female trees bear bunches of small, round edible fruits in late summer, mostly eaten by birds.

Uses
It is widely used in South Africa as a pavement and garden tree, as it propagates easily, grows fast and flourishes in full sun. It is not invasive and makes an excellent shade tree. As with most trees they should not be planted very near to paving, swimming pools, pipes or walls, as their fast growth may quickly affect these. They however have a non-aggressive root system.

Medium semi-deciduous tree - strong and fast growth - usually with more than one trunk. It displays a soft green colour with very fine leaves. Not suited to plant close to buildings, nor to park underneath, due to a very fine powder which can cause staining. Excellent as a tree to lure birds and insects, as well as providing beautiful shade. Wind and weather resistant, can deal with too much water as well as droughts.

Jacques Baby

Jacques Bâby, dit Dupéron (1731 – August 1789) was a French Canadian fur trader who later became an employee of the British Indian Department. He worked in the Detroit area, where he acquired large amounts of land on both sides of the Detroit River, in what became the United States and Canada. His four sons were later each active in Canadian politics, serving in appointed and elected offices.

Early life
He was born in Montreal in 1731. He worked as a fur trader and Indian agent at Logstown, near the current location of Ambridge, Pennsylvania.

After the fall of New France to the British in 1760, as part of the Seven Years' War, Bâby initially refused to swear allegiance to King George III. He considered leaving the country.

But after he learned that his brother François was transferring his operations from France to London, Bâby swore the oath of allegiance and resumed trading. He moved to the Fort Detroit area in present-day Michigan.

In 1777, during the American Revolutionary War, Bâby was appointed by the British as a captain and interpreter in the Indian Department. Bâby acquired large amounts of land on both the American and British sides of the Detroit River, as well as to the north along the St. Clair River. In 1787, after the United States gained independence, Bâby was appointed by the Americans as lieutenant-colonel of the Detroit militia. In 1788, he was named to the land board of the Hesse District in western Ontario. He died at Detroit in 1789.

His son James Bâby later became a judge and a member of the Executive Council and Legislative Council of Upper Canada. His sons François, James (Jacques) and Jean Baptiste were elected as members of the Legislative Assembly in Upper Canada (now Ontario). His daughter Suzanne married William Caldwell, a Loyalist soldier of the American Revolutionary War, an Indian agent, and founder of Amherstburg, Ontario.

Legacy
Bâby Point in St. Clair, Ontario is named for him, consisting of some of his former property along the St. Clair River.

Chris Higgins (musician)

Christopher Higgins, best known by his stage name Higgins X-13 (born September 23, 1972), is an American musician. He performed as backup guitar/vocal/keyboard/percussion player in the punk rock band The Offspring from 1994 to 2005. He provided backing vocals for Offspring's studio albums between Americana and Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace. During his 11 years with the band, he performed live with the Offspring on tour and made an appearance in the music video for "Why Don't You Get a Job?". When the Offspring was not on the road, Higgins ran the lead singer's studio and produced the demo recording of upcoming Offspring albums. Higgins also played guitar and did some vocals in the bands Gentleman Jack, All the Madmen (Working Class Zeroes) and Good Kitty.

As of 2005, he was no longer with The Offspring on the tour but he did backup vocals on Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace. It is said that he needs more time with his church and family. 

 he was involved in digital media and visual communications at St. John's Lutheran Church of Orange, California.

Later career

Wank 
In 2017 Higgins joined the recently reformed band Wank, a 90s Orange County ska-punk band whose best known song was "Forgiven". In 1998 Wank was signed to Maverick Records, re-releasing their debut album Get a Grip on Yourself. Higgins appears on Wank's 2018 release "White Knuckle Ride" and the 2022 single "The States". Wank briefly worked with Die Laughing Records in 2019 and played various shows from 2015 through 2020, pausing due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sleeping Dogs 
As of 2021 Wank created a spin-off project called Sleeping Dogs that includes the members of Wank with the addition of Keyboardist George Hughes -  with both groups led by bassist and vocalist Bobby Amodeo. Sleeping Dogs' sound isn't significantly different from Wank, which makes sense considering the two bands share four members. Their debut song and video "No Mercy" was released in November 2021.

Richard Nibley

Fred Richard Nibley (April 29, 1913 – September 22, 1979) was an American violinist, composer, and educator. He is often cited as an expert on the influence of music on behavior.

Richard spent many years as a professor at Snow College in Ephraim, Utah. He lived in a pioneer home on Main Street in Ephraim that was originally built for Canute Peterson, an early Mormon leader in the area.

His list of the top ten classical music pieces for your music library is still used today.

Richard was born in Medford, Oregon, to Alexander Nibley and Agnes Sloan. His older brother was Hugh Nibley, and his grandfather was Charles W. Nibley.  Richard Nibley's great-grandfather Alexander Neibaur was the first Jew to join the LDS Church.

He died in the fall of 1979 of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease).

Incidents and accidents
On March 28, 1998 a Peruvian Air Force Antonov 32 carrying the dual civil/military registration OB-1389/FAP-388 and inbound from Tumbes evacuating  50 people stranded by El Niño-driven floods had an engine failure while approaching Piura. As the aircraft was overloaded, the pilot could not maintain altitude, and the plane struck three houses of a nearby shantytown and crashed into a canal. While the crew of five survived, 21 passengers and one person on the ground died.
On 20 September 2005, an Air Rum L1011 full of Gambian football fans heading for Lima, Peru faked a fuel starvation emergency so that the flight had to divert to Piura. The fans were going to support their national team playing in the city for the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship.

SuperPower

SuperPower is a 2002 political simulation computer game. SuperPower was designed by GolemLabs and published by DreamCatcher Interactive, debuting on March 28, 2002 for Microsoft Windows. SuperPower 2 was released in 2004. SuperPower 3 was released in 2022.

Gameplay
The start of play is set during the first week of January 1997, with the player assuming the role of the newly appointed leader of one of 140 controllable nations. Players are given complete command over their nation from the use of thermonuclear weapons, to the level of taxes, to what kind of government is in control, to sending secret service operatives to conduct covert missions. SuperPower has two different game modes; scenarios and freeplay.

Scenarios
Superpower has some premade scenarios that offer a challenge in the way you have to solve a problem. The main factor that makes the scenarios difficult is that they restrict what kind of actions you can take (Ex: not being able to use military action)

Scenarios
 Argentina - Protect Bolivia from invasion
 Côte d'Ivoire - Reclaim control over territory
 United States - Restore democracy in Haiti
 South Korea - Sign an alliance with North Korea
 United Kingdom - Create anarchy in Poland
 Russia - Rebuilding the communist superpower
 China - Sign a strategic alliance with Taiwan

Freeplay
Freeplay is a sandbox mode, beginning with the choices of which nation to control, which objectives to complete and a time limit to complete them within. Play continues until the objectives are completed or the time limit expires. Freeplay can be played for one in-game year, five years, ten years, or for an unlimited amount of time. The mandatory objective is to stay in power, optional objectives include conquering the world, eliminating armed rebels, or balancing the nation's resources. The game can be set to play with the one mandatory objective, staying in power, and the unlimited time period for an objective free game.

Reception

The game received "unfavorable" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. It has been heavily criticized for its many bugs, including some that do not allow the player to complete the game in the amount of time listed, the game often crashing back to the desktop even when all the computer requirements have been met, and the country's budget suddenly crashing.

Alpine, Skagit County, Washington

Alpine was a village located on the shores of Lake Cavanaugh, in Skagit County, Washington. A very brief reference to it is found in An Illustrated History of Skagit and Snohomish Counties, by Elizan M. Wallace, published by Interstate Publishing Company, 1906 (pages 469–470). An in-depth book about Alpine and the settlers of Lake Cavanaugh, who began arriving in 1890, was published and copyrighted in 2009: Alpine On The Lake, by Allan Ray Wenzel, published by Classic Day Publishing, Seattle, Washington, 2009 (, Library of Congress Number 2009938776).

There was another Alpine 50 miles south founded about the same time. That village was founded by Stanford University graduate Carl Lane Clemans and existed from 1894 until 1929. The village had a few homes, a schoolhouse, a post office, and a hotel. After the Stevens Pass Scenic Highway was built a mile away without any connection to Alpine, the village was abandoned in 1929.

Alexander Anderson (physicist)

Alexander Anderson (12 May 1858 – 7 September 1936) was an Irish physicist and President of Queen's College Galway, now the University of Galway, from 1899 until 1934. In electrical engineering he is known for Anderson's bridge. He is credited with being the first physicist to consider black holes as real physical entities, in a 1920 paper.

Early life and education
Alexander Anderson was born on 12 May 1858, the son of Daniel Anderson, of Camus, Coleraine, County Londonderry. He was educated at Queen's College Galway, where he won a first-year scholarship in the Science Division of the Faculty of Arts and the Sir Robert Peel Prize in Geometry in 1876. He was awarded gold medals on the results of his B.A. examination in 1880, and his M.A. examination in 1881. He then won first place in an open examination for a scholarship to Sidney Sussex College at Cambridge from which he graduated BA (6th wrangler) in 1884. He was later awarded MA in 1888.

Career
In 1885, Anderson returned to Queen's College Galway, where he was appointed Professor of Natural Philosophy, a post he held until 1934. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal University of Ireland in 1886, and a Fellow of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, in 1891. He was appointed President of Queen's College Galway on the resignation of Professor W. J. M. Starkie in 1899.

Anderson was conferred with an honorary LL.D. by the University of Glasgow in 1901. He served as a Senator of both the Royal University of Ireland, and its successor, the National University of Ireland, and as a member of the Dublin Commissioners appointed under the Irish Universities Act 1908. He was Vice-Chancellor of the National University of Ireland in 1915 and 1920.

He retired as President of the College in 1934, and died in September 1936.

Personal life
Anderson married Miss Emily Binns, of Galway. His daughter, Emily Anderson, was a Professor of German, music historian and noted cryptanalyst.

Junje Gowda

Junje Gowda is the legendary builder of the Male Mahadeshwara temple in hanur taluk of Chamarajanagara District. He was a local landlord belonging to the Kuruba Gowda community and a devotee of Shri Mahadeshwara Swamy.

Legend 
Legend has it that Lord Mahadeshwara visited the house of Junje Gowda, a wealthy landlord of the Kuruba caste and a devotee of the god Beredevara. There he performed miracles to convince Junje Gowda of his power and in the end won Junje Gowda to his following. Junje Gowda is said to be responsible for all the temples built in the mountainous region of eastern Karnataka called the Mahadeshwara Hills.
But the Junje Gowda family is still living the village called Kadamboor, in Hanur taluk. Chamarajangar district.

 Now the family  is eager to visit the male mahadeshwara temple to see their great grandfather's  work.
It is believed that when his cows were suffering from a disease, he prayed saint Mahadeshwara to save them. The lord melted to his devotion and asked him to build a temple in Nadumale one of the seven hills as an offering.

Thomas Harens

Thomas J. Harens (born 1954)  is a former third-party candidate (Christian Freedom Party) for President of the United States in the 2004 presidential election in which he was only on the ballot in Minnesota. His running mate was Jennifer A. Ryan. He had created the Christian Freedom Party in June 2004, and filed his "affidavit of candidacy" with the Minnesota Secretary of State in August.

Some claimed Harens was a stalking horse for the John Kerry campaign, "a device for luring away Republican votes from George W. Bush in a tight election," an accusation he denied. He did, however, express a desire to have a spoiler effect on the election, hoping to win more votes than the margin between the major party candidates.  The margin between Bush and Kerry in Minnesota was almost 100,000 votes, while Harens won only 2,387. The total for his new party was larger than the combined total in Minnesota of three of the established third parties, the Socialist Equality Party, Socialist Party and Socialist Workers Party.

Harens had previously run unsuccessfully for mayor of St. Paul, Minnesota in 1997 as a member of the Reform Party. At the time he made his presidential run, he claimed he was still "technically a member" of that party.

Harens was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives at age 25 as a member of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party.  He served from 1981 to 1982, when his district was redrawn and he also left "feeling abandoned" because of his anti-abortion views.

He attempted to run for the US Senate in Minnesota with the Green Party. He did not attend the Green Party of Minnesota Convention, and therefore was not endorsed.

Harens is a graduate of Winona State University.

Chorthippus jutlandica

Chorthippus jutlandica, the Jutland bow-winged grasshopper, is a species of grasshopper in the subfamily Gomphocerinae. It is endemic to sparsely vegetated coastal sand dunes in an area covering only  between Blåvandshuk and Hvide Sande in western Jutland, Denmark, but it is common (often the most common grasshopper species in its range and habitat) and not considered to be under any threat.

Unusual for a very well-surveyed small country, the species was only scientifically described in 2003, having long been confused with its similar relatives, especially C. biguttulus. It was first noticed in the early 1990s that some grasshoppers in the area had a different song. It is extremely similar to C. biguttulus, C. brunneus and C. mollis (of which only C. brunneus overlaps in range with C. jutlandica) and only males can be reliably separated by details of their forewings and the sound of their stridulation ("song"). C. jutlandica likely is the result of hybrid speciation with the ancient parent species being C. biguttulus and C. brunneus. Today C. jutlandica is essentially reproductively isolated from C. brunneus because females' are uninterested in the other species' song; captive studies have shown that female C. jutlandica are interested in the song of male C. biguttulus, but any interbreeding in the wild is prevented by their separate distributions.

Leyland number

In number theory, a Leyland number is a number of the form

where x and y are integers greater than 1. They are named after the mathematician Paul Leyland. The first few Leyland numbers are

8, 17, 32, 54, 57, 100, 145, 177, 320, 368, 512, 593, 945, 1124 .

The requirement that x and y both be greater than 1 is important, since without it every positive integer would be a Leyland number of the form x1 + 1x. Also, because of the commutative property of addition, the condition x ≥ y is usually added to avoid double-covering the set of Leyland numbers (so we have 1 < y ≤ x).

Leyland primes
A Leyland prime is a Leyland number that is also a prime. The first such primes are:

17, 593, 32993, 2097593, 8589935681, 59604644783353249, 523347633027360537213687137, 43143988327398957279342419750374600193, ... 

corresponding to
32+23, 92+29, 152+215, 212+221, 332+233, 245+524, 563+356, 3215+1532.

One can also fix the value of y and consider the sequence of x values that gives Leyland primes, for example x2 + 2x is prime for x = 3, 9, 15, 21, 33, 2007, 2127, 3759, ... ().

By November 2012, the largest Leyland number that had been proven to be prime was 51226753 + 67535122 with 25050 digits. From January 2011 to April 2011, it was the largest prime whose primality was proved by elliptic curve primality proving. In December 2012, this was improved by proving the primality of the two numbers 311063 + 633110 (5596 digits) and 86562929 + 29298656 (30008 digits), the latter of which surpassed the previous record. There are many larger known probable primes such as 3147389 + 9314738, but it is hard to prove primality of large Leyland numbers. Paul Leyland writes on his website: "More recently still, it was realized that numbers of this form are ideal test cases for general purpose primality proving programs. They have a simple algebraic description but no obvious cyclotomic properties which special purpose algorithms can exploit."

There is a project called XYYXF to factor composite Leyland numbers.

Leyland number of the second kind
A Leyland number of the second kind is a number of the form

where x and y are integers greater than 1. The first such numbers are:

 0, 1, 7, 17, 28, 79, 118, 192, 399, 431, 513, 924, 1844, 1927, 2800, 3952, 6049, 7849, 8023, 13983, 16188, 18954, 32543, 58049, 61318, 61440, 65280, 130783, 162287, 175816, 255583, 261820, ... 

A Leyland prime of the second kind is a Leyland number of the second kind that is also prime. The first few such primes are:

7, 17, 79, 431, 58049, 130783, 162287, 523927, 2486784401, 6102977801, 8375575711, 13055867207, 83695120256591, 375700268413577, 2251799813682647, ...
