George R. Klare (Minneapolis, 1922 – The Plains, Ohio, 2006) was a World War II veteran and  a distinguished professor of psychology and dean at Ohio University.
Klare served as a navigator on a B-17 Flying Fortresss in the Eighth Air Force in England.
On December 31, 1944, he was shot down over Germany.
He spent the rest of World War II in German POW camps.
He was liberated by advancing Soviet troops from Stalag Luft One on May 1, 1945.
He was honorably discharged as a First Lieutenant in December, 1945, receiving the Air Medal, the Purple Heart, European area ribbons and the Prisoner of War medal.
Klare later recounted his experiences as a prisoner of war in a chapter entitled "Questions" in Interrogations, Confessions, and Entrapment, published by Springer in 2004.
In 1978, he was named Distinguished Professor of Psychology.
While at Ohio University, he served as chair of the Psychology Department from 1959 to 1963, as acting dean of the College of Arts and Sciences in 1965–66 and in 1984–85, and as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences from 1966 to 1971.

His major contribution was in the field of readability.
From the beginning of the 20th century, the assessment of the grade level of texts for different grades of readers was a central concern of reading research.
It was well known that without correctly graded texts, readers would not improve their reading skill.
There were over 1,000 published studies on this topic.
Klare's contribution to that effort came both in his critical reviews of the studies and his participation in original research.

Like most other hydrozoans, T. dohrnii begin life as free-swimming tiny larvae known as a planula.
As a planula settles down, it gives rise to a colony of polyps that are attached to the sea-floor.
Jellyfish, also known as medusae, bud off these polyps and continue their life in a free-swimming form.
Eventually they become sexually mature.
All the polyps and jellyfish coming from a single planula are genetically identical clones.
Turritopsis dohrnil is a species of jellyfish that apparently does not die of natural causes, because it can revert to the juvenile stage from the adult stage.
However, it is not actually immortal.
Most Turritopsis are likely to be eaten by predators or die from disease in the adult stage.
The St. Croix River () is a tributary of the Mississippi River.
The St. Croix flows in the U.S. states of Wisconsin and Minnesota.
The lower  of the river forms the border between Wisconsin and Minnesota.
The river is a National Scenic Riverway under the protection of the National Park Service.
A hydroelectric plant at St. Croix Falls supplies electricity to the Minneapolis–St. Paul metropolitan area.
Father Louis Hennepin wrote in 1683, from information probably provided by Daniel Greysolon, Sieur du Lhut: "There is another River which falls ... into the Meschasipi ... We named it The River of the Grave, or Mausoleum, because the Savages buried there one of their Men ... who was bitten by a Rattlesnake."
Father Hennepin called it in French Rivière du Tombeaux.
There are several possible explanations for the origin of the present name.
An early map dated to 1688 recorded a "Fort St. Croix" on the upper part of the river.
Near the mouth of the river was a French Voyageur's grave marked with a cross.
The most likely explanation was that it was named for a French trader named Sainte-Croix.
On Map of the Territories of Michigan and Ouisconsin (1830) by John Farmer, the St. Croix River is shown as the "Chippewa River".
However, by 1843, Joseph Nicollet's Hydrographical Basin of the Upper Mississippi River reinforced the name provided by Franquelin's 1688 map.
The river valley and the surrounding area was originally occupied by the Ojibwe, Dakota and nine other American Indian tribes.
The Indians mainly lived on wild rice, fish, and game.
By the eighteenth century, the Ojibwe and Dakota were the two main tribes that inhabited the area.
This lasted until around 1745, when the Dakota were driven from the St. Croix Valley as a result of the Battle of Kathio.
It is worth noting that many Dakota and Ojibwe people still occupy this area to this day, as it is particularly considered a part of Dakota homeland.
The first Europeans to arrive in the area were Sieur du Lhut and his men in the fall and winter of 1679-1680.
For the next eighty years the area was mainly under French influence.
The fur trade grew throughout the first half of the eighteenth century.
Beaver pelts were one of the main products.
French trade in the upper valley was dominated by the Ojibwe.
They were tied to Lake Superior traders.
In the lower valley the Dakota assisted in trading with merchants based out of St. Louis.
After the end of the French and Indian War in 1763, British traders entered the area.
They grew in numbers and influence with the help of the powerful North West Company.
The 1837 Treaty of St. Peters with the Ojibwe gave the United States government a large tract of land in what today is north central Wisconsin and east central Minnesota.
The river was important to float the logs downstream to the sawmills that processed it.
During the 1840s, important sawmills were located at St. Croix Falls and Marine on St. Croix.
In the 1850s Stillwater became the primary lumber destination.
During this time the population of Stillwater grew rapidly.
New sawmills were opened, and the town saw an influx of capital, primarily from lumber companies based in St. Louis.
In 1856 construction began on a boom site two miles north of Stillwater.
It was used to hold and sort the logs floating downstream.
The boom was in operation for over fifty years.
The St. Croix Boom Site is now a wayside rest and National Historic Landmark along Minnesota State Highway 95.
There were vast white pine forests in the upper St. Croix river valley.
They provided the forest products that built the towns along Lake St. Croix, Minneapolis and St. Paul.
The St. Croix along with the forests in Red Cedar, Chippewa, and Rum valleys provided supplies for the building of Winona, Minnesota, Davenport, Iowa, Rock Island, Illinois, and St. Louis.
The lumber industry continued to grow throughout the latter half of the nineteenth century, with larger log drives in the spring  caused dangers to navigation on the river above Stillwater.
Logs were frequently caught in log jams at the narrow parts of the St. Croix River near St. Croix Falls.
In 1883 the blockade was so severe it took almost two months before the flow of logs was re-established.
At its peak in 1890, logging in the St. Croix River valley produced  of lumber and logs.
The lumber industry continued until the last major log drive in 1912 marked the end of the rich white pine forests of the area.
Geography and hydrography
The St. Croix River starts in the northwestern corner of Wisconsin.
It flows out of Upper St. Croix Lake in Douglas County.
The lake is near Solon Springs, approximately  south of Lake Superior.
The St. Croix flows south into Gordon, then southwest.
It is joined by the Namekagon River in northern Burnett County.
A few miles downstream the St. Croix meets the boundary between Minnesota and Wisconsin.
It marks that boundary for another  until its confluence with the Mississippi River.
Conservation efforts
The St. Croix River was one of the original eight rivers to be protected by the National Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968.
The upper parts of the river for the first  and the Namekagon River are protected as the "St. Croix National Scenic Riverway".
The only interruption is a hydroelectric dam operated by the Northern States Power Company at St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin.
The lower , including both sides of the river along the Minnesota-Wisconsin border, were protected as part of the "Lower St. Croix National Scenic Riverway".

Stillwater is a city in Washington County, Minnesota.
It is on the St. Croix River directly across from the state of Wisconsin.
The population was 18,225 at the 2010 census.
On July 29 and September 29, 1837, treaties were signed between the US government and the local Ojibwa and Dakota nations.
They allowed settlement in the St. Croix River Valley.
The town was founded by settlers drawn by the area's then-abundant lumber and river traffic.
It is one of Minnesota's oldest towns, preceding Minneapolis by several years.
Stillwater was officially incorporated as a city on March 4, 1854 (the same day as St. Paul).
The city was named for the calm waters of the St. Croix River.
Territorial convention
Stillwater is often called the birthplace of Minnesota.
In 1848, a territorial convention that began the process of establishing Minnesota as a state was held in Stillwater.
The convention selected three leading Minnesota cities as locations for three important public institutions.
Minneapolis got the University of Minnesota, Saint Paul became the capital, and Stillwater was chosen as the site of the territory's first prison.
The Minnesota Territorial Prison was opened in 1853.
Lumbering era
Lumbering was the main industry in the St. Croix River Valley in the second half of the nineteenth century.
For many years logs were sent down the St. Croix river, collected at the St. Croix Boom Site two miles upstream of Stillwater, and processed in Stillwater's many sawmills.
Steamboats were used most widely from 1860 to 1890, and a few are still used for entertainment today.

National Botanic Garden of Israel (official name: The Botanical Garden for the Native Plants of Israel in memory of Montague Lamport, in ) is a botanic garden located in Mount Scopus in Jerusalem.
The garden is dedicated to the plants of Israel.
The botanic garden was opened in 1931 by Otto Warburg and Alexander Eig.
They were the founders of the botanic department of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
After Mount Scopus was isolated from Israel in 1948, they decided to create a new botanical garden in West Jerusalem, in Givat Ram.
The new garden, Jerusalem Botanical Gardens, was opened in 1954.
The National Botanic Garden of Israel is also an archaeological park.
It has many Jewish burial caves from the Second Temple period.
In the southern part of the garden there is a famous cave called the Tomb of Nicanor.

Hudson is a city in and the county seat of St. Croix County, Wisconsin, United States.
As of the 2010 United States census, its population was 12,719.
It is part of the Minneapolis–St. Paul Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA).
Hudson is bordered on the north by the village of North Hudson and the Willow River.
On the North and East is the township of Hudson.
To the south is the township of Troy.
It is bounded on the west by the St. Croix River.
Hudson was settled in the summer of 1840 by Louis Massey and his brother in-law, Peter Bouchea.
William Steets arrived at about the same time.
Later that same year, Joseph Sauperson (commonly known as Joe LaGrue) moved there.
Massey and Bouchea settled at the mouth of the Willow River, near the present-day First and St. Croix Streets.
They had been part of the group who lived for some time along the river below Fort Snelling.
This appears on some old maps as "Massey's Landing".
The 1840s saw a few settlers arriving here — Captain John Page, the Nobles brothers, Dr. Philip Aldrich, Ammah Andrews, Moses Perrin, Colonel James Hughes, Daniel Anderson, and others.
Hudson was originally called "Willow River".
It was later named "Buena Vista" by Judge Joel Foster, founder of River Falls.
This was after he returned from the Mexican–American War where he fought in the Battle of Buena Vista.
In 1852, Alfred D. Gray, Hudson's first mayor, petitioned to change the name of the city to "Hudson", because the bluffs along the St. Croix River reminded him of the Hudson River in his native New York.
A large number of settlers arrived in the 1850s and 1860s.
Many of were the ancestors of today's residents.
The lumber industry was the prime attraction of the area.
Over time sawmills were started throughout the St. Croix Valley.
On August 30, 1917 a violent mob of 1,000 held a night rally in front of the armory.
They were protesting the attempt by the pacifist People's Council of America to hold a conference in Hudson's prizefighting arena.
The crowd then went after the four wiktorganizers in the lobby of their hotel and threatened to hang them.
Only after the pleadings of county attorney N. O. Varnum were the four allowed to leave town.
U.S. Highway 12 once crossed the St. Croix River on a toll bridge between Wisconsin and Minnesota, which provided revenue for the town.
With the construction of Interstate 94, the toll bridge was removed.
The long causeway extending to the former bridge location is now open to the public as a pedestrian walkway.
Hudson has grown as a tourist destination in recent years.
There are shops and restaurants on the St. Croix river in its historic downtown, along with hotels and other businesses that serve traffic on Interstate Highway 94.

Sir Douglas Quintet
In 1965, Sahm formed the band, Sir Douglas Quintet, with a childhood friend, Augie Meyers.
A record producer picked the band's name so they would seem British.
At the time, music from Britain was so popular in the United States, it had a name: "British invasion".
The British name only helped a little.
Sahm had a Texas accent and two band members were Hispanic.
Some early photographs of the band tried to hide this from music fans.
The band had a Top Twenty US hit with "She's About a Mover".
It also made the Top Twenty in the UK Singles Chart.
After the breakup, Sahm moved to San Francisco to begin a blues band.
Later, he and Augie Meyers got back together as Sir Douglas Quintet, with new members.

In 1973, Jerry Wexler of Atlantic Records produced Sahm's first solo album, Doug Sahm and Band.
Bob Dylan, Dr. John and Flaco Jiménez also played on the album.
Wexler said: "Then in October 1972, Dylan was in the studio with Doug Sahm... Dylan having been friendly with Sahm since the mid-sixties and having expressed enthusiasm for the Sir Douglas Quintet on more than one occasion".
In 1989, Sahm started the Tex-Mex supergroup, the Texas Tornados, with Freddy Fender, Augie Meyers, and Flaco Jimenez.
They recorded seven albums.
These included two live ones, and a "Best of" collection.
Their first album won a Grammy for Best Mexican-American Performance for their song "Soy de San Luis", in 1991.

Background radiation is the natural radiation we get by living on Earth.
There are many naturally occurring radioactive isotopes which decay over time.
They release radioactive particles or radiation into the surroundings.
We call this "background radiation".
The biggest source of natural background radiation is radon in the air.
This radioactive gas comes from the ground.
Radon and its isotopes, parent radionuclides, and decay products make up most of the radiation we get.
Radioactive material is found throughout nature.
It occurs naturally in soil, rocks, water, air, and vegetation, from which it is taken into the body.
Humans also get radiation from radioactive materials  outside the body and from cosmic radiation from space.
The worldwide average natural dose to humans is about 2.4 millisievert (mSv) per year.
This is four times the worldwide average artificial radiation exposure, which in 2008 amounted to about 0.6 mSv per year.
In addition there are X-rays and other forms of medical imaging.
In Europe, average natural background exposure by country ranges from under 2 mSv annually in the United Kingdom to more than 7 mSv annually for some groups of people in Finland.

Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor (1194-1250); emperor of the Holy Roman Empire
Frederick II of Denmark (1534-1598), emperor of Denmark and Norway
Frederick II of Prussia (1712-1796), emperor of Prussia
Frederick II (26 December 1194 – 13 December 1250), was one of the most powerful Holy Roman Emperors of the Middle Ages and head of the House of Hohenstaufen.
His political and cultural ambitions, based in Sicily and stretching through Italy to Germany, and even to Jerusalem, were enormous.
However, his enemies, especially the popes, prevailed, and his dynasty collapsed soon after his death.
Historians have searched for superlatives to describe him, as in the case of Professor Donald Detwiler, who wrote:
Viewing himself as a direct successor to the Roman Emperors of Antiquity, he was Emperor of the Romans from his papal coronation in 1220 until his death; he was also a claimant to the title of King of the Romans from 1212 and unopposed holder of that monarchy from 1215.
As such, he was King of Germany, of Italy, and of Burgundy.
At the age of three, he was crowned King of Sicily as a co-ruler with his mother, Constance of Hauteville, the daughter of Roger II of Sicily.
His other royal title was King of Jerusalem by virtue of marriage and his connection with the Sixth Crusade.
He was frequently at war with the Papacy, hemmed in between Frederick's lands in northern Italy and his Kingdom of Sicily (the Regno) to the south, and thus he was excommunicated four times and often vilified in pro-papal chronicles of the time and since.
Pope Gregory IX went so far as to call him an Antichrist.
Speaking six languages (Latin, Sicilian, German, French, Greek and Arabic), Frederick was an avid patron of science and the arts.
He played a major role in promoting literature through the Sicilian School of poetry.
His Sicilian royal court in Palermo, from around 1220 to his death, saw the first use of a literary form of an Italo-Romance language, Sicilian.
The poetry that emanated from the school had a significant influence on literature and on what was to become the modern Italian language.
The school and its poetry were saluted by Dante and his peers and predate by at least a century the use of the Tuscan idiom as the elite literary language of Italy.
He was also the first king who explicitly outlawed trials by ordeal as they were considered irrational.
Norman L. Farberow (February 12, 1918 – September 10, 2015) was an American psychologist.
He was one of the founding fathers of modern suicidology.
He was among the three founders in 1958 of the Los Angeles Suicide Prevention Center, which became a base of research into the causes and prevention of suicide.
Moses Eugene Malone (March 23, 1955 – September 13, 2015) was an American basketball player who played in both the American Basketball Association (ABA) and the National Basketball Association (NBA) from 1974 through 1995.
He was a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
Malone played for the Buffalo Braves (1976), the Houston Rockets (1976-1982), the Philadelphia 76ers (1982-1986; 1993-1994), the Washington Wizards (1986-1988), the Atlanta Hawks (1988-1991), the Milwaukee Bucks (1991-1993), and the San Antonio Spurs (1994-1995).

A joint-stock company is a business owned by people called shareholders.
Each shareholder owns company stock in proportion to the number of their shares (certificates of ownership).
Some shareholders may own a larger proportion of a company's share than others.
Shareholders are able to transfer their shares to others without any effects on the continued existence of the company.
Incorporation, a legal process, gives a company a legal personality separate from shareholders, and limited liability.
This means the shareholders are only liable for the company's debts to the value of the money they invested in the company.
So, joint-stock companies are commonly known as corporations or limited companies.
Finding the earliest joint-stock company is a matter of definition.
Around 1250 in France at Toulouse, 96 shares of the Société des Moulins du Bazacle (Bazacle Milling Company) were traded at a value that depended on the profitability of the Society's mills.
This was probably the first company of its kind in history.
The much more famous, wealthy and powerful English (later British) East India Company was granted an English Royal Charter by Elizabeth I on 31 December 1600.
The Royal Charter gave the newly created Honourable East India Company a 15-year monopoly on all trade in the East Indies.
The Company transformed from a commercial trading venture to one which ruled India.
In 1602, the Dutch East India Company issued shares that were made tradable on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange.
This invention helped joint-stock companies to attract capital from investors as they could now easily trade their shares.
