Agatharchides

Agatharchides   or Agatharchus  was a Greek historian and geographer living in the  second century BC).

Life
Agatharchides is believed to have been born at Cnidus,  he was later a secretary to Heraclides Lembus.

Agatharchides wrote a few words about his own life. At the conclusion of his book On the Erythraean Sea, he apologizes for being unable to complete his work "since our age is unable to similarly bear the toil" and "as a result of the disturbances in Egypt" he could no longer access the official records (a fragment cited by Photius in his Bibliotheca Cod. 250.110, 460b).

Writings
Agatharchides was not well known in ancient times. Of his two major works, Affairs in Asia (Ta kata ten Asian) in ten books, and Affairs in Europe (Ta kata ten Europen) in forty-nine books, only a few fragments survive, too few to provide us with any sense of the contents of either work. However, for his On the Erythraean Sea (Peri tes Erythras Thalasses or De Mari Erythraeo) in five books, almost the entire fifth book, a geographical treatise on the Horn of Africa and the lands around the Red Sea, has survived almost intact. According to Burstein, "the comparative soberness of Agatharchides' treatment compared to previous accounts and the wealth of information contained in it led to a quick recognition . . . [that it was] a valuable summary of the results of Ptolemaic exploration."

In the first book of On the Erythraean Sea was a discussion respecting the origin of the name. In the fifth Agatharchides described the mode of life amongst the Sabaeans in Arabia, and the Ichthyophagi, or fish-eaters, the way in which elephants were caught by the elephant-eaters, and the mode of working the gold mines in the mountains of Egypt, near the Red Sea. His account of the Ichthyophagi and of the mode of working the gold mines, has been copied by Diodorus (iii.12-18). Amongst other extraordinary animals he mentions the camelopard, which was found in the country of the Troglodytae, and the rhinoceros.

An Agatharchides, of Samos, is mentioned by Plutarch, as the author of a work on Persia, and one περὶ λίθων. J.A. Fabricius, however,  the true reading is Agathyrsides, not Agatharchides.

Namesake
The crater Agatharchides on the Moon is named in his honour.

List of objects dropped on New Year's Eve

On New Year's Eve, several places (mostly in North America) mark the starts for New Years by lowering or raising an object. Many of these events have strong similarity to the Times Square New Year's celebrations that began in New York City back in December 1907 when they rang in 1908. Three years before the Ball Drop got started was when Times Square began celebrating New Year's. The Times Square Ball lowering events take place one minute before midnight their time.

Between 1½ billion and 2 billion people celebrate while looking at the New York Times Square Ball Dropping.

Atlantic and Eastern Times
Other places in the United States and Canada celebrate with other drops/object lowering and raising. These include the Miami Orange Drop, a similar New Year's Eve dropping in Orlando, a pineapple symbol lowered in Sarasota, a sardine symbol lowering for Eastport, Maine. They also drop a maple leaf symbol on the Atlantic Time celebrating when the New Year begins from there.

In the city of York, Pennsylvania, white roses are lowered almost each December 31. 

In Buffalo, New York another ball is dropped. The drop is, though, performed by manual operation.

Central, Mountain and Pacific Time regions
In Fort Smith, Arkansas at Garrison Avenue and 6th Street, a Ball Drop celebration almost like New York is performed. In New Orleans, fleur de lys are brought down. The fleur de lys drops are shown on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve almost every New Years Eve Night. Tulsa, Oklahoma also performs a Central Time Area Ball Drop on New Years Eve.

In Seattle, Washington, when New Year's Eve celebrations are performed, the Space Needle's elevators are raised (sent up).

COVID-19 cancelations
In December 2020 in most places, and for some the following year, New Year's raising and lowering parties were canceled or restricted for COVID-19 reasons and scheduling interference related to the COVID-19 situation.

Pomato

The pomato is a grafted plant. It is a combination of a tomato plant and a potato plant.  The gardener grafts the two plants together: The gardener cuts and ties two separate plants so that they grow together.

Tomatoes and potatoes are both in the family Solanaceae. In a pomato, cherry tomatoes grow on the vine or shoot part of the plant and white potatoes grow in the soil underground from the same plant.

This plant does not occur in nature and does not grow from seeds. The two parts of the pomato plant remain genetically separate, but, after they are grafted, they need each other to live and grow.

Pomato plants are one way to make food production more efficient.  This way, more food can be made on the same amount of land.  That makes the pomato good for city gardens, for example gardens on balconies. Grafted pomato plants began in the United Kingdom in September 2013. A horticultural mail-order company Thompson & Morgan started selling grafted plants under the brand name "TomTato."

Miltenberg

Miltenberg () is a town in the Lower Franconia region in Bavaria, Germany. It is the seat of the like-named district.

Geography

Place 
The old town is on the Main’s left edge on the "left knee" of the Mainviereck ("Main Square") between the Spessart and Odenwald ranges. Since the Main riverbed in the Miltenberg area is relatively near the foot of the Odenwald, only a narrow strip of usable land is left, about over 150 meters in width, which in past centuries was time and again flooded by the Main.

Murder of Elli Perkins

Elli Perkins (née Present; 1949 – March 13, 2003) was a professional glass artist, and a Scientologist who lived in Western New York. She was a senior auditor at the Church of Scientology in Buffalo, New York.

When he was in his mid-20s, her son, Jeremy showed strange behaviour; he was diagnoesed to suffer from Schizophrenia. The group Scientology is against psychiatry, most of the time. To be in line with what Scientology said,  Elli Perkins did not look for psychiatric care, or treat his illness with antipsychotic drugs.  Instead, she tried to treat this with vitamins.

His condition did not get better.  At some point, Jeremy thought, Elli was posioning him. He later explained: "she makes me take these vitamins everyday". In this context, the "vitamins" were the alternative medicine he was forced to take. When he was about 28 years old, Jeremy, tried to kill himself, but failed. Because he felt threatened, he murdered his mother.

The crime was prominently featured in the news. Newspapers such as The Amherst Bee, The Buffalo News, or the New York Post reported on it. There was also an installment of the investigative news program 48 Hours. The media asserted that his mother was at least partly responsible for her own death: Her refusal for his treatment by a psychiatrist, caused his outburst, and her death.

A court later said, that because he was suffering from Schizophrenia, and that he wasn't treated correctly, Jeremy could not be made responsible for killing his mother.

Free Speech Movement

The Free Speech Movement (FSM) was a massive, long-lasting student protest which took place during the 1964–65 academic year on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley. The Movement was led by Berkeley graduate student Mario Savio. Thousands of students took part in this movement. The Free Speech Movement was the first mass act of civil disobedience on an American college campus in the 1960s.

Students said that the university should lift the ban of on-campus political activities and support the students' right to free speech and academic freedom. The Free Speech Movement was inspired by the New Left. The Civil Rights Movement and the opposition over the United States involvement in the Vietnam War were also key factors in the movement.

Counterculture of the 1960s

The counterculture of the 1960s was an anti-establishment cultural phenomenon. This happened in most parts of the Western world between the mid-1960s and the mid-1970s. The movement became popular as the U.S. Civil Rights Movement continued to grow and the United States's involvement in the Vietnam War. 

During this time, there were social tensions about the change in human sexuality, women's rights, traditional modes of authority, rights of the non-white people, end of the racial segregation, experimentation with psychoactive drugs and what the American Dream meant. Many key movements related to these issues were born or grew from the counterculture of the 1960s.

Opposition to United States involvement in the Vietnam War

Opposition to United States involvement in the Vietnam War began with protests in 1964 against the role of the United States in the Vietnam War. It became a social movement over the several years. This movement caused and educated a debate, mainly in the United States, during the second half of the 1960s and early 1970s on how to end the war.

Many in the peace movement within the United States were children, mothers, or anti-establishment young people. 

Their actions were mainly of peaceful, nonviolent events. In some cases, police used violent force against peaceful demonstrators. By 1967, according to Gallup polls, an increasing majority of Americans thought that the military involvement in Vietnam to be a mistake.
