51 Pegasi is a star that is like our Sun and can be found 15.4 parsecs (50.1 light-years) away from the Earth in the constellation Pegasus.
It was the first Sun-like star, other than the Sun, found to have a planet orbiting it, this discovery was first made public in 1995.
The exoplanet's discovery was made public on October 6, 1995 by Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz.
The discovery was made using the radial velocity method at the Observatoire de Haute-Provence, using a tool called the ELODIE spectrograph that is used to find planets that are outside our Solar System.
The star itself has an apparent brightness of 5.49, and because of this it is able to be seen from the Earth with binoculars, or with the naked eye if it is dark outside.
51 Pegasi is a yellow dwarf star that is thought to be around 7.5 billion years old, which is somewhat older than our Sun.
51 Pegasi is also 4-6% more massive than our Sun with more metal content.
However, it is running low on hydrogen.
After the announcement, on  October 12, 1995, more proof that this star did exist came from Dr. Geoffrey Marcy from San Francisco State University and Dr. R. Paul Butler from the University of California, Berkeley using the Hamilton Spectrograph at the Lick Observatory near San Jose in California.
51 Pegasi b is the first discovered planet of its parent star, 51 Pegasi.
If any more are discovered they will be named 51 Pegasi c, 51 Pegasi d, and so on.
The planet has been informally named Bellerophon.
After its discovery, many teams proved its existence and continued to find out more about its properties, including the fact that it orbits very close to the star, has estimated temperatures around 1200 Celsius, and has a minimum mass about half that of Jupiter.

Gumbasia is a very short movie made in 1953 by Art Clokey.
Gumbasia was a clay animation movie.
Clokey became famous for his two series Gumby and Davey and Goliath which also used clay animation.
Clokey made Gumbasia while he was studying at the University of Southern California and being taught by Slavko Vorkapich.
It was Clokey's first clay animation movie and it was only 3 minutes and 45 seconds long.
The movie showed moving lumps of clay set to music in a copy of Walt Disney's Fantasia.
Gumbasia was made in a style Vorkapich taught called Kinesthetic Film Principles.
This style, which uses camera movements and stop-motion editing, is used in later Gumby movies.
After watching Gumbasia, movie producer Sam Engel decided to give Clokey money to make a 15 minute movie that became the first Gumby movie -- Gumby Goes to the Moon.

Originally called Upper Gilmanton, Belmont was chartered in 1727 as a parish of Gilmanton.
In 1859 Upper Gilmanton was separated from Gilmanton.
Then in 1869 the town was renamed Belmont.
This was to honor August Belmont.
The townspeople hoped Mr. Belmont would provide financial support but he did not.

The Joker is a fictional character, a comic book supervillain published by DC Comics.
He is an archenemy of Batman.
The character's creator has been disputed between Jerry Robinson, Bill Finger, and Bob Kane, even though many believe Robinson created the character.
The Joker first appeared in Batman #1 (Spring 1940).
Throughout his comic book appearances, the Joker is portrayed as a master criminal whose characterization has varied from that of a violent psychopath to a goofy trickster-thief.
He is the archenemy of Batman, having been directly responsible for numerous tragedies in Batman's life, including the paralysis of Barbara Gordon and the death of Jason Todd, the second Robin.
Joker's creation was inspired by Conrad Veidt's role in the 1928 silent movie The Man Who Laughs.
The Joker possesses no superhuman abilities, instead using his expertise in chemical engineering to develop poisonous or lethal concoctions and thematic weaponry, including razor-tipped playing cards, deadly joy buzzers, and acid-spraying lapel flowers.
The Joker sometimes works with other Gotham City supervillains, such as the Penguin and Two-Face, and groups like the Injustice Gang and Injustice League, but these relationships often collapse due to the Joker's desire for unbridled chaos.
The 1990s introduced a romantic interest for the Joker in his former psychiatrist, Harley Quinn, who becomes his villainous sidekick.
Although his primary obsession is Batman, the Joker has also fought other heroes, including Superman and Wonder Woman.
The Joker has appeared in movies, TV series and video games; he was played by Cesar Romero, Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger, Jared Leto and Joaquin Phoenix in movies.
On animated shows/movies he is portrayed by Mark Hamill, Richard Epcar, Kevin Michael Richardson, Larry Storch, Jeff Bennett, and John DiMaggio.

70 Virginis is a yellow dwarf star that is around 58 light-years away from the Earth in the constellation Virgo.
70 Virginis is not as big or hot as Earth's Sun.
In 1996, 70 Virginis was found to have an extrasolar planet in orbit around it.
There is also a dust disc that orbits the star.
The temperature of the disc is 156 K and it is about 3.4 AU from the star.

70 Virginis b is an extrasolar planet that is around 60 light-years away from the Earth in the constellation of Virgo.
The finding of this planet was announced in 1996 by astronomers Geoffrey Marcy and R. Paul Butler.
70 Virginis was one of the first stars that was known to have planets orbiting it.
When first announced, 70 Virginis b was thought to be inside its star's habitable zone, but proof was later found that the planet has an eccentric orbit, closer to its parent.
70 Virginis b is a Jupiter-type extrasolar planet that orbits around 70 Virginis every 116 days.
It has 7.5 times the mass of Jupiter.
Its surface gravity is thought to be about two to three times that of Jupiter's.
At the time that it was found in January 1996, it was thought that the star was only 29 light years away from the Earth.
This could explain why the star was less bright based on its apparent magnitude (measure of brightness).
As a result, the planet's orbit was thought to be in the habitable zone and the planet was given the nickname "Goldilocks" (not too cold or too hot).
The Hipparcos satellite later showed that the star was farther away from 70 Virginis and therefore its brightness was a result of the planet being too hot to be in the habitable zone.

The Operation Downfall was a planned military action, called "Operation Downfall".
This was to be the Allied forces invasion of Japan to end the Second World War.
It would have two main parts, Operation Olympic would be the biggest amphibious invasion in history, in Kyūshū.
Airplanes based in Kyushu would then be used for an even bigger invasion called Operation Coronet.
This would invade Honshū.
After the Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Japanese surrendered, so there was no need for an invasion.
Operation Downfall was canceled.

Scholasticism is a way of thinking and teaching knowledge.
It was developed in the Middle Ages.
It started when people wanted to bring together what is called classical philosophy with the teachings of
Christian theology.
Classical philosophy is the philosophy developed in Ancient Greece.
Scholasticism is not a philosophy or a theology, but rather a way of teaching and learning.
Scholasticism emphasises the use of dialectic.
The main purpose of dialectic is to find an answer to a question, or to show that a contradiction can be resolved.
Scholasticism was started by people like Saint Ambrose and St. Augustine.
They tried to use philosophy to help explain the doctrine and mysteries of the church.
Ambrose and Augustine were among the first Church fathers who brought Christian ideas and Greek philosophy together.
The main figures of scholasticism were Peter Abelard, Albertus Magnus, Duns Scotus, William of Ockham, Bonaventure and, most importantly, Thomas Aquinas.
Summa Theologica is an ambitious synthesis of Greek philosophy and Christian doctrine.
In the 13th century, the teachings of Aristotle were considered more important than those of Plato.
Scholastic education was very much based on written texts, and with arguments for and against ideas in those texts.
In this way it differed greatly from modern science, which is based on observations from nature.
In Aristotle the scholastics chose someone who was himself quite an original investigator of the natural world.
But the scholastics themselves dealt almost entirely with the world in manuscripts written in two ancient languages.
One was in Latin, the language of the Vulgate Bible and the other was Ancient Greek.
Greek opened the doors to the writings of the Greek philosophers in their own language, at least so far as their works survived.
The motto of Boethius “As far as you are able, join faith to reason” reminds us that all scholastics were mediaeval Christians.
Their main concern was to see how the Greek ideas could be fitted into their religious view of the world.

It was discovered on 7 August 1915 by the Soviet astronomer Grigory Nikolaevich Neujmin at Simeis, Ukraine.
It was originally called 916ΣI, but was renamed 916 America on 24 February 1923 after the Council of Astronomers at Pulkovo Observatory decided to pay tribute to "the friendly relations of the astronomical observatories and astronomers".
Another possible reason for the name was as a mark of thankfulness for the help given during the famine in Crimea by the American Relief Administration under President Herbert Hoover.
In 1986, believing that the asteroid was of S-type and that it had a diameter of 15 km, the length of 916 America's day was thought to be 38 hours.
Observations by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite have since shown that it has a diameter of 33.2±1.3 km, with an absolute magnitude of 11.20 and an albedo (the extent to which it reflects light) of 0.053±0.004.

The Diomede Islands are two islands in the Bering Strait, about halfway between mainland Alaska and Siberia.
They are also called Gvozdev Islands in Russian.
There are two islands, called Big Diomede and Little Diomede respectively.
Little Diomede is also known as Krusenstern Island, but there are also other places with this name.
The Eskimos who live there call it Ignaluk.
The Chukchi Sea is to the north and the Bering Sea to the south of the islands.
to the southeast is Fairway Rock, an islet which is usually not considered part of the Diomede Islands.
The islands are separated by an international border and the International Date Line which is approximately  from each island.
At the closest distance between Little Diomede and Big Diomede, the two islands are only about  apart.
There are plans to build a connection between Siberia and Alaska, either as a bridge or a tunnel (Bering Strait bridge spanning the Bering Strait).
In that case, the Diomede Islands would be a halfway point, as they are about the middle of the Bering Strait.
The people who lived on Big Diomede Island were moved to mainland Russia by the Soviet government.
A small Russian military base is currently on the island.
Little Diomede has an Inupiat population of 170, mostly in the City of Diomede.
This village there has a school, and a local store.
Some Eskimos there are famous for their ivory carving.

Clay animation is one of many ways to make a stop motion animation.
Each animated piece, either character or background, can be formed and reformed into different shapes.
People making a clay animation usually use something soft, like Plasticine clay.
Most animation is made the same way, whether it is cel animation or stop motion.
Each frame, or still picture, is recorded on film or digital media and then played back quickly.
When played back at a frame rate of more than 10–12 frames per second, the human mind sees the series of slightly changing, rapidly playing images as movement.
To us it seems as if the object is moving by itself.
This way of tricking the mind into seeing "movement" is the way that all moving images work, from zoetrope to movies to videogames.
The way CGI animations are made is different from the frame by frame method.
How it is done
In clay animation, each object is made in clay, usually around a wire skeleton called an armature.
The object is put on the set (background) and a still picture (one frame of film) is taken.
The object or character is then moved slightly by hand.
Another picture is taken, and the object is moved slightly again.
This is repeated over and over.
To get the best results, special care is taken to make sure that each frame is the same as the one before.
For example, the lighting has to be the same and the object has to be put back in exactly the right place.
The only thing that should be different is the slight change the animator makes to the object.
Making a stop-motion animation using clay is hard work.
Normal movies use 24 frames per second (frame/s).
Animation usually uses "doubles" or "twos"; that is using two frames for each shot.
This means that 12 changes are made for one second of movie.
For a 30-minute movie, there would be about 21,600 stops to change the objects for the next frame.
For a full-length (90-minute) movie, there would be about 64,800 stops.
IF some of the parts were done with only a single, not double frame, there would be even more stops.
Great care must be taken to make sure that the object is not moved by accident.
For full-length movies, animators now use rubber silicone and resin-cast objects.
One foam-rubber method has been called Foamation by Will Vinton.
Examples of clay animation
Some famous clay animation movies have been made.

The word "Claymation" is a registered trademark in the United States.
It was registered by Will Vinton in 1978 to describe his clay animation films.
The word is often used incorrectly to describe any clay animation movie.

The Space Race was a 20th-century competition between two Cold War enemies, the Soviet Union (USSR) and the United States (US), to achieve better spaceflight capability than the other.
It had its origins in the intercontinental ballistic missile-based nuclear arms race between the two nations following World War II.
Both governments saw having better spaceflight technology as necessary for national security.
The Space Race enabled the first launches of artificial satellites, uncrewed space probes to the Moon, Venus, and Mars, and human spaceflight in low Earth orbit and ultimately to the Moon.
The competition began on August 2, 1955, when the Soviet Union responded to the US announcement four days earlier of intent to launch artificial satellites during the "International Geophysical Year" (July 1, 1957 to December 31, 1958), by declaring they would also launch a satellite "in the near future".
The Soviet Union achieved the first successful artificial satellite launch on October 4, 1957 of Sputnik 1, and sent the first human to space with the orbital flight of Yuri Gagarin on April 12, 1961.
The USSR demonstrated an early lead in the race with these and other early firsts over the next few years, including flight durations measured in days instead of hours, the first multi-person crewed spaceflight, and the first spacewalk.
But the USSR lost its early lead after US president John F. Kennedy raised the stakes by setting a goal of "landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth".
American spaceflight capability overtook that of the Soviets with flights up to two weeks long; two craft meeting in space (rendezvous) and joining (docking); astronauts working outside spacecraft; and using high-energy liquid hydrogen as rocket fuel in the Saturn family of rockets.
Kennedy's Moon landing goal was acheived in July 1969, with the flight of Apollo 11, which sent and returned three men and landed two of them, a singular achievement far outweighing any combination of Soviet achievements.
The USSR pursued two crewed lunar programs, but failed to develop a launch vehicle powerful enough to land one human on the Moon before the US, and eventually canceled them to concentrate on Earth orbital space stations, while the US landed five more Apollo crews on the Moon.
A period of détente followed with the April 1972 agreement on a co-operative Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP), resulting in the July 1975 rendezvous in Earth orbit of a US astronaut crew with a Soviet cosmonaut crew and joint development of an international docking standard APAS-75.
Apollo–Soyuz began a period of transition from the Space Race to an age of US / Russian space cooperation by December 1991, when the dissolution of the Soviet Union brought the end of the Cold War and enabled the Shuttle-Mir and International Space Station programs between the US and the newly founded Russian Federation.

An oligotroph is an organism that can survive with relatively few nutrients.
Because there are few nutrients, such organisms grow slower.
Their metabolism usually runs at a slower rate.
The population density is generally low.
Supersaturation in chemical solutions is when a solution contains more of a solute than can be dissolved in it.
This usually makes some of the solute separate itself from the solution.
Rain happens in a supersaturated solution of water in air.
Carbonated water is a supersaturated solution of carbon dioxide gas in water.
It is stored at very high pressure in a bottle.
This lets the water dissolve more carbon dioxide gas than it can at normal pressure.
When the bottle is opened, the pressure falls to the normal atmospheric pressure, and the carbon dioxide gas escapes slowly.
Certain things such as small bubbles in the bottle can make this process faster.
Such bubbles can be caused by shaking the bottle.
Another solute such as sugar powder or a widget can also trigger precipitation.
A Diet Coke and Mentos eruption is an extreme example.
Some drinks such as ales and stouts rely on this effect to produce the 'head' on the surface of the poured product.

Epiglottitis is inflammation of the epiglottis, which is the flap that sits at the base of the tongue, which keeps food from going into the trachea (windpipe).
Due to its place in the airway, swelling of this can interfere with breathing and can set up a medical emergency.
Epiglottitis usually happens in children.
It can be accompanied with fever, problems swallowing, drooling, and stridor.
In children, it must always be considered a medical emergency requiring urgent treatment in an emergency room at a hospital.
Lyme disease or borreliosis, is an infectious disease.
It is caused by bacteria of the genus Borrelia.
The disease is carried by ticks which are parasitic on mammals such as mice and deer.
In other words, ticks are the vector which transmits the disease.
It is the most common tick-borne infection in the United States.
Although Allen Steere realized in 1978 that Lyme disease was a tick-borne disease, the cause of the disease remained a mystery until 1982.
It can cause joint swelling, rashes, and neurological disorders.
It remains controversial whether if left untreated, Lyme disease can become a chronic condition.

Carbonated water, also known as sparkling water, fizzy water, seltzer, and water with gas, is plain water into which carbon dioxide gas has been dissolved.
Most soft drinks have carbonated water as a base.
The process of dissolving carbon dioxide gas is called carbonation.
It results in the formation of carbonic acid.
The process of carbonation can also occur naturally to produce carbonated mineral water.
Beer and wine are carbonated by fermentation.
Carbonated water was discovered by Joseph Pristly in 1767.

African Sanctus is a musical composition for choir, soloists, orchestra and prerecorded tape by David Fanshawe.
It was composed in 1972.
African Sanctus is the best-known of Fanshawe's works.
It was composed after Fanshawe had made journeys to Africa up the river Nile between 1969 and 1973.
The shape of his journey forms the shape of a cross.
This had a religious meaning for Fanshawe.
He made recordings on tape of the people he met singing their traditional music.
A lot of this music had never been recorded before.
When he returned home to Britain he composed the African Sanctus.
Some of the recordings he had made in Africa are played as part of the performance.
The choir who sing live at the concert are singing some of the words of the traditional Christian Latin Mass.
At first it was called African Revelations, but then the title was changed to African Sanctus.
It was first performed in London by the Saltarello Choir in July 1972, and was later played on BBC Radio on United Nations Day.
A documentary film was made three years later showing how the work had been composed.
Movement I is based on music from North Uganda in which the Acholi people perform a royal welcome dance.
The live choir sing the words of the Sanctus.
Movement II uses a recording of the Azan: a call to prayer by the Imam, in the Muhammad Ali Mosque in Cairo.
The live choir sing Kyrie.
Fanshawe is joining the two faiths: Muslim and Christian.
Movement III starts with the music of an Egyptian wedding.
The live choir sing the Gloria, often shouting.
Movement IV consists of courtship dances.
It leads to four men in a trance singing words from the Koran in a mixture of dialects and Arabic.
The live choir sing a praise of thanks to God.
Movement V has the song of a cattle boy in the deserts by the Red Sea Hills.
Bells announce the birth of a baby boy.
Movement VI A Zande family who had fled into Uganda from South Sudan sing a song about Jesus who has saved them from the terrors of war.
Movement VII We hear frogs and a Uganda dance in which young girls are praising their boyfriends who are fighting.
A storm comes and this is combined with the live choir singing "Crucify!"
Movement VIII Many different sounds are mixed here, and we hear the Madinda, which is a kind of xylophone made out of canoe boards balanced across two banana trunks.
The live choir sing "Sanctus!" ("
Holy!").
Movement IX The live choir sing a beautiful setting of the Lord's Prayer.
The words in this movement are in English,  not in Latin.
Fanshawe got the idea for this music from hearing a mother singing a lament for a dead fisherman on the shores of a lake in Uganda.
Movement X The live choir sing "For thine is the kingdom".
Four songs are heard on the tape: a milking song from Kenya, a song of a river in Uganda, a cattle song from Northern Kenya and a burial dance from Western Kenya.
Movement XI thinks about the refugees in countries such as Sudan and Rwanda.
We hear the sound of war drums in the distance.
The live choir sing the Agnus Dei ("Lamb of God").
Movement XII This is a repeat of the Kyrie, but the live choir and the tape are mixed in different ways.
Movement XIII This is a return of the Sanctus and Gloria with the energetic dance of the Bwala dancers from Uganda.
The work has been performed in many places in Britain and all round the world.
Fanshawe comes to many of these concerts personally.
In 1994 David Fanshawe composed an extra movement for a new recording of the work, the Dona Nobis Pacem - A Hymn for World Peace, which completed the Agnus Dei.
Based on this new recording, the BBC commissioned the maker of the 1975 documentary, Herbert Chappell, to make a new programme, African Sanctus Revisited,

David Fanshawe (born 19 April 1942 in Devon, England; died 5 July 2010) was an English composer and explorer.
He wrote a large amount of music, especially for television programmes.
His best-known composition is a choral work called African Sanctus.
Fanshawe went to school at St George's School, Windsor Castle and Stowe School.
He started his career as a musician and producer for documentary films.
He studied composition at the Royal College of Music.
He became known for the music he wrote for films and TV.
In 1970 he performed Salaams in the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London.
This was a work based on the rhythms of pearl divers in Bahrain.
He spent several years travelling to many parts of the world collecting recordings of people singing their own traditional music.
He travelled to the Middle East, then to Africa and to islands of the Pacific Ocean.
In all these places he had to get to know the people and get them to trust him so that they would let him record their music.
His African Sanctus was a result of his trip down the Nile.
It combines recordings he made there with a choir and orchestra singing.
It has been performed thousands of times all over the world.

A playpen is where a baby plays in an enclosed structure.
It is designed to keep the baby safe when the parent is not there.
The earliest use of the word playpen in the Oxford English Dictionary was in 1902.
Playpens were once made of wood.
They were square shaped, with vertical wooden bars on four sides, so that the child can see out.
The walls of the playpen are usually higher than the height of the child, so the child can not climb out.
Modern playpens can be moved easily.
They are usually made of a basic metal and plastic support system with mesh, soft plastic or nylon sides.
Sometimes a bassinet can be put on the top for the baby to sleep in, or be changed in, until four months of age.
Some have mobiles, side pockets for supplies and toys, night lights, music boxes, or a CD player for the child to listen to music while sleeping or playing.
Portable playpens come in different sizes, but most can be rolled or folded up for easy storage and transport.
It is important that the playpen being used is safe for the child.
Unsafe playpens may collapse which could injure the baby.
Playpen safety information  from Seattle Children's Hospital.

32 is a seven-movement orchestral musical series by the British composer Gustav Holst, written between 1914 and 1916.
The first complete public performance happened during World War I on 10 October 1918 in Birmingham, with Appleby Matthews directing the orchestra.
However, an earlier premiere for only a small group of people was held on 29 September 1918 in the Queen's Hall in London, with the orchestra directed by Adrian Boult.

Kota Kinabalu (), formerly Jesselton, is the capital of Sabah state in Malaysia.
It is also the capital of the West Coast Division of Sabah.
The city is on the northwest coast of Borneo facing the South China Sea.
The Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park is on one side and Mount Kinabalu, which gave the city its name, is nearby.
Kota Kinabalu proper has a population of 579,304, while the larger urban area has an estimated population of 700,000.
It is the largest urban centre in Sabah and the sixth largest in Malaysia.
Kota Kinabalu is often known as K.K. within Malaysia and internationally.
It is a major tourist destination and a popular gateway for travellers visiting Sabah and Borneo.
Kinabalu National Park is about 90 kilometres from the city and there are many tourist attractions in and around the city.
Kota Kinabalu is also one of the major industrial and commercial centres of East Malaysia.
These two factors combine to make Kota Kinabalu one of the fastest growing cities in Malaysia.
In the late 1800s, the British North Borneo Company (BNBC) began to establish colonies throughout North Borneo (now Sabah).
In 1882, the Company founded a small settlement on Gaya Island (Pulau Gaya), which was already inhabited by the Bajau people.
In 1897, this first settlement was burned and destroyed by Bajau rebels led by Mat Salleh.
After the rebellion, the Company decided to relocate the settlement to the more easily defended mainland opposite Pulau Gaya.
A nearby fishing village named Api-Api (see Original names below), was the next settlement of the Company.
This new location was then designated as the main harbour and port, as well as the terminus for the North Borneo Railway.
It was expanded and renamed Jesselton, named after Sir Charles Jessel, the then Vice Chairman of the Company.
Eventually, Jesselton became a major trading post of North Borneo, dealing in rubber, rattan, honey, and wax.
The new railway was used to transport goods to Jesselton harbour.
Bajau uprisings during these times were not uncommon, and the Company worked to quell the long-standing threat of piracy in the region.
Jesselton was razed by the retreating British early in World War II to prevent it from falling into the hands of the Japanese.
After the Japanese takeover of Borneo, it was again renamed Api.
Rebellions against the Japanese military administration have taken place in Api.
One major rebellion occurred in 1943 by the group called Kinabalu Guerrillas, consisting of local inhabitants.
The rebellion was however quelled by the Japanese forces, after their leader, Albert Kwok, was arrested and executed in 1944.
At the later stages of the war, what remained of the town was destroyed again by Allied bombings as part of the Borneo Campaign in 1945, leaving only three buildings standing.
The war in North Borneo ended with the official surrender of the Japanese 37th Army by Lieutenant General Baba Masao in Labuan on September 10, 1945.
After the war, the British North Borneo Company returned to administer Jesselton but was unable to finance the huge costs of reconstruction.
They gave control of North Borneo to the British Crown in 1946.
The new colonial government elected to rebuild Jesselton as the capital of North Borneo instead of Sandakan, which had also been destroyed by the war.
When North Borneo together with Sarawak, Singapore & Federation of Malaya formed the Federation of Malaysia in 1963, the state became known as Sabah and Jesselton remained its capital.
Jesselton was renamed Kota Kinabalu on September 30, 1968 and received official city status from the Malaysian government on February 2, 2000.
Kota Kinabalu is named after Mount Kinabalu, about 90 kilometres east-northeast of the city.
The meaning and origin of the name Kinabalu is uncertain.
One theory suggests it  means "Chinese widow", where Kina meaning "Chinese" (person) in Kadazandusun language, and balu meaning "widow" in Malay language.
This theory derives from a folk tale about a Chinese prince who came to the mountain in search of a giant pearl which was guarded by a dragon at the top of the mountain.
While he was here, he married a local woman but later returned to China and left the woman heartbroken.
