Japanese garden

is a traditional kind of garden in Japan.  The garden is made to be like a small landscape.  The basic principle of a Japanese garden is to create harmony and balance.

History
The oldest Japanese text on garden-making is Sakuteiki (Records of Garden Making). The work was based on oral traditions which were published for the first time in the 11th century.

Types
There are many types of Japanese gardens, for example, 

 The contemplation or thinking style of garden (kanshō) is designed to be studied and enjoyed from one specific place. An example of a kanshō garden is the rock and raked gravel garden at Ryōan-ji in Kyoto.

 The stroll or walking style of garden (shūyū) is intended to be looked at from a path.  The garden is discovered as the viewer walks along the path. An example of a shūyū garden is at Ginkaku-ji in Kyoto.

 The boating or pleasure-boat style of garden (funasobi) is centered on a large pond.  The best views are seen from a boat in the pond.  An example of a funasobi gardem is at Byōdō-in at Uji, which is near Kyoto.

 Many-pleasure style of garden (kaiyū) has a central pond and many paths. It combines aspects of kanshō, shūyū and funasobi gardens.  An example of a kaiyū garden is at Katsura Imperial Villa.

Aluminum wiring

Aluminum wiring is electrical wiring made of aluminum, instead of the usual copper. It is widely and successfully used for electricity transmission and distribution. It is lighter  and stronger than copper wire, which helps prevent the cables from sagging. It is also less expensive than copper wire. It has also been successfully used in aircraft wiring. In the 1960s, with the rising price of copper, electricians started to use it to wire homes and other buildings. Aluminum wiring was not successful in this application and it is a major safety problem. Because of the safety problems with aluminum wiring, it was discontinued for building wiring in the mid-1970s. Over time, aluminum wiring can separate from the screws on electrical outlets, switches, or lights, creating a poor connection, which causes the wire to heat up. The heat can cause the aluminum to oxidize, creating an even worse connection and more heat, which can eventually start a fire. Incorrect repairs to aluminum wiring, such as connecting aluminum wire to copper wire with twist-on wire connectors, can make the problem even worse. Even twist-on connectors designed to connect aluminum to copper can be dangerous. The only proper way to repair aluminum wiring is to connect it to copper "tails" (short pieces of copper wire) with crimped or screw-on connectors specifically designed for this purpose.

Settler

A settler is a person who has migrated to an area and made a permanent home there.  Many times the reason is to colonize the area.

Many times in history settlers live on land which used to belong to people who had lived there a long time.  These people are known as indigenous people.  Other names are natives, Aborigines or, in the Americas, Indians. This land is usually settled against the wishes of the indigenes. It is then controlled, defended and grown by force.

Deşteaptă-te, române!

Deșteaptă-te, române! (Romanian: "Wake up, Romanians!" or "Awaken ye, Romanians!") is the Romanian national anthem. For a short amount of time, it was also the national anthem of the Moldavian Democratic Republic from 1917 to 1918, and of the Moldavian Republic from 1991 to 1994. It has been the national anthem of present-day Romania since 1990.

History
It was originally a poem called Un răsunet (en. "An echo") written by the Transylvanian poet named Andrei Mureșanu during the Wallachian Revolution of 1848, and it was published in the same year in a Romanian magazine nameed Foaie pentru minte, inimă și literatură. After hearing about the poem, a composer from Wallachia named Anton Pann made a melody for it. The author Andrei Mureșanu later chose this music for his poem after he asked a church singer named Gheorghe Ucenescu to sing a melody that would fit for him many times.

It was sung for the first time in the city of Brașov during the liberal and nationalist revolt, then right after it became the revolutionary anthem of Romania at the time.

Historical use
In the past, it was the national anthem of the old and short-lived Republic of Moldova from 1991 to 1994 before being replaced with Limba noastră. Between 1917 and 1918, Deșteaptă-te, române! was used as the anthem of the short-lived Moldavian Democratic Republic before the region became part of the Kingdom of Romania.

When communism no longer existed in Romania, the anthem Trei culori was replaced with Deșteaptă-te, române! in 1990.

Full lyrics
Only the first, second, fourth, and eleventh stanzas (in bold) are sung.

Trivia
July 29 is called “National Anthem Day” (ro. Ziua Imnului național).

It is obsoletely known as Un răsunet (Ун рэсунет; 'An echo').

Martin Frobisher

Sir Martin Frobisher (1535 or 1539 – 15 November 1594) was an English seaman who made three voyages to the New World to look for the Northwest Passage. All of them landed in what is now northeastern Canada, around Resolution Island and Frobisher Bay.

On his second voyage, Frobisher found what he thought was gold ore and carried 200 tons of it home on three ships since initial assaying determined it to be worth a profit of £5.10 per ton. Encouraged, Frobisher returned to Canada with an even larger fleet and dug several mines around Frobisher Bay. He carted 1,350 tons of the ore back, but after years of smelting, it was realised that both that batch of ore and the earlier one he had taken had been worthless iron pyrite.

As an English privateer/pirate, he collected riches from French ships. He was later knighted for his service in repelling the Spanish Armada in 1588.

Edward Smith (sea captain)

Edward John "E. J." Smith (27 January 1850 – 15 April 1912) was an English sea captain. He was the captain of the R.M.S Titanic, which sank when it struck an iceberg. Smith was to retire after the maiden voyage of the Titanic, but he died when the ship sank.

Smith was born on 27 January 1850 in Hanley, Staffordshire, England. He was married to Sarah Eleanor Pennington from 1887 until his death in 1912. They had one daughter.

When the Titanic struck the iceberg, Smith knew within minutes that the ship was doomed and that people would die. During the evacuation, Captain Smith did all in his power to prevent panic and did his best to assist in the evacuation; Major Arthur Godfrey Peuchen of the Royal Canadian Yacht Club said "He was doing everything in his power to get women in these boats, and to see that they were lowered properly. I thought he was doing his duty in regard to the lowering of the boats". Robert Williams Daniel, a first class passenger also said:
Captain Smith was the biggest hero I ever saw.  He stood on the bridge and shouted through a megaphone, trying to make himself heard.':

Just minutes before the ship started its final plunge, Smith was still busy releasing Titanic'''s crew from their duties; he went to the Marconi operators room and released Junior Marconi Officer Harold Bride and senior wireless operator John "Jack" Phillips from their duties. He then carried out a final tour of the deck, telling crew members: "Now it's every man for himself." Steward Edward Brown saw the captain approach with a megaphone in his hand. He heard him say "Well boys, do your best for the women and children, and look out for yourselves.” He saw the Captain walk onto the bridge alone just seconds before the ship took its final plunge. This was the last reliable sighting of Smith. Just seconds later Trimmer Samuel Hemming found the bridge apparently empty.

Smith died that night along with around 1,500 others, and his body was never recovered.

There are conflicting accounts of his death; Some claimed to have seen Smith in the water swimming towards a lifeboat, or near the capsized collapsible lifeboat "B", others claimed saw shooting himself with a pistol. Other accounts describe him entered the wheelhouse on the bridge and died there when it was engulfed.  The actual fate of captain Smith will probably remain uncertain. His body was never recovered.

Smith has been played by many actors during documentaries, movies, television series, or plays. The most well known actors to play Smith are George C. Scott and Bernard Hill.

Archibald Gracie IV

Colonel Archibald Gracie IV (January 17, 1859 – December 4, 1912) was an American writer, amateur historian, real estate investor, and survivor of the sinking of the R.M.S Titanic. He survived the sinking by climbing aboard an overturned lifeboat. He wrote a popular book about the disaster which is still in print today.

Early life
Gracie was born on January 17, 1859 in Mobile, Alabama and studied at St. Paul's School. He was never married.

Titanic sinking
Gracie was saved during the sinking of the Titanic when he got onto a lifeboat. Then as the ship started to sink, his life boat was sucked underwater. Gracie and his friend Clinch Smith were under the ship when Gracie was freed from the ship's current and began to swin towards a collapsed lifeboat. His friend Clinch never reached the surface and his remains were never found.

Death
Gracie died on December 4, 1912 from diabetes in New York City, New York, aged 53. He died just 8 months after the sinking, making him the first upper-class Titanic survivor to die. Gracie's last words were "We must get them into the boats. We must get them all into the boats."
