12621 Alsufi, provisionally designated 6585 P-L, is a carbonaceous Themistian asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, approximately 7 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 24 September 1960, by Dutch astronomer couple Ingrid and Cornelis van Houten at Leiden, on photographic plates taken by Dutch–American astronomer Tom Gehrels at the U.S. Palomar Observatory, California. It is a member of the Themis family, a dynamical group of outer-belt asteroids with nearly coplanar ecliptical orbits. The C-type asteroid is also classified as a rather rare L-type asteroid by Pan-STARRS' large-scale survey. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.7–3.5 AU once every 5 years and 6 months (2,000 days). Its orbit is tilted by 2° to the plane of the ecliptic and shows an eccentricity of 0.13. No precoveries were taken prior to its discovery. A rotational light-curve of this asteroid was obtained from photometric observations made at the U.S. Palomar Transient Factory, California, in January 2012. It gave a rotation period of 4.7194±0.0024 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.71 in magnitude (U=2). The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes an albedo of 0.08 and calculates a diameter of 6.8 kilometers, based on an absolute magnitude of 14.21. The survey designation \"P-L\" stands for Palomar–Leiden, named after Palomar Observatory and Leiden Observatory, which collaborated on the fruitful Palomar–Leiden survey in the 1960s. Gehrels used Palomar's Samuel Oschin telescope (also known as the 48-inch Schmidt Telescope), and shipped the photographic plates to Ingrid and Cornelis van Houten at Leiden Observatory where astrometry was carried out. The trio are credited with the discovery of 4,620 minor planets. The minor planet is named in honor of 10th-century Persian astronomer Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi (A.D. 903–986), also known by his western name, Azophi. Working in Isfahan, he produced his influential star atlas around A.D. 963. The atlas is based on both, Ptolemy's Almagest and on pre-Islamic star lore, and contains the earliest description of the Andromeda Galaxy. Naming citation was published on 22 January 2008 (M.P.C. 61764). The lunar crater Azophi is also named in his honour. | Place | CelestialBody | Planet |

The entire shore from the southeast around to the southwest is bordered by the Lake Region Mobile Home Park. The public has no access to the shores of this lake. Middle Lake Hamilton is part of the north system of the Winter Haven Chain of Lakes. It is directly connected by canal to connected by canal on its west side to Lake Hamilton (Florida) and on its west side to Little Lake Hamilton. However, for a number of years the water level in the canal to Little Lake Hamilton was so low or even nonexistent that it was impossible to get to Little Lake Hamilton by boat. Boats can easily navigate the canal leading from Lake Hamilton. As there is no shore access to this lake, there are no public swimming areas or boat ramps on this lake's shore.

Euphemia (died 520s), whose original name was Lupicina, was the consort of Justin I, who ruled the Byzantine Empire from 517 to 527. Empress Euphemia is credited with the ecclesiastical policies of Justin and she founded a Church of Saint Euphemia, where she was buried following her death, probably in either 523 or 524. Justin was buried by her side in 527. According to the Secret History of Procopius, Lupicina was both a slave and a barbarian. He asserted that she had been the concubine of her owner. The information from the Secret History was published posthumously. The seven volumes of histories that were published in his lifetime were the antithesis of this published work, being most laudatory of the new dynasty. Critics of Procopius (whose secret history reveals a man seriously disillusioned with his rulers) have dismissed his posthumously published work as a severely biased source, being vitriolic and pornographic, but without other sources, critics have been unable to discredit some of the assertions in the publication. Although its motives are suspect and it can not be verified, its titillating nature has kept it as a popular reference. The marriage of Euphemia and Justin is estimated to have occurred during the reign of Anastasius I (reigned 491-518) when Justin had a prosperous career in the Byzantine army. | Agent | Person | Monarch |

Talland Parish Church is a Grade I listed building dramatically located on the cliff-top at Talland near Looe in Cornwall. It is dedicated to St Tallanus and as such is unique in Britain. St Tallanus is said to be a hermit who made his home here sometime in the fifth century AD and certainly the site has been a sacred place since Celtic times. The altar of the present-day church is situated on the site of the original Celtic altar. The altar of the church is said to date from the time of Tallanus and was built at the junction of ley lines. However, St Tallanus's existence is disputed and ley lines cannot be proved to exist either. The first documents to refer to him only appeared in the 15th century and it is believed that the church was previously dedicated to Saint Catherine of Alexandria after whom the Catherine Wheel is named. The church celebrated its 500th anniversary in 1990. Part of the nave and the first stage of the tower probably remain from a 13th-century church: the remainder must be late 15th century and is in typical Cornish Perpendicular style. Unusually it has a detached bell-tower on the south side which was only joined to the main body of the church in the 15th century. Inside the church is the headstone of Robert Mark although there is some confusion over exactly who he was. Killed in 1802, some accounts say that he was a Polperro smuggler shot at sea, others that he was a revenue collector killed on duty. His tablet reads: \"In prime of life, most suddenly, Sad tidings to relate, Here view my utter destiny, And pity my sad state. I by a shot which rapid flew, Was instantly struck dead.\" There is old woodwork in the fine wagon roofs and the many benchends (partly ca. 1520, the rest ca. 1600) are of the usual Cornish type and among the finer examples of these. | Place | Building | HistoricBuilding |

The Dorr Rebellion (1841–1842) was a failed attempt to force broader democracy in the U.S. state of Rhode Island, where a small rural elite was in control of government. It was led by Thomas Wilson Dorr, who mobilized the disenfranchised to demand changes to the state's electoral rules. The state used as its constitution the 1663 colonial charter that required a man to own $134 in property to vote, and gave an equal weight in the Rhode Island General Assembly to all towns no matter what their population. The effect in the 1830s was that the rapidly growing industrial cities were far outnumbered in the legislature, to the annoyance of businessmen and industrialists. Furthermore, few immigrants or factory workers could vote, despite their growing numbers. All other states in 1840 saw a huge surge in turnout, but nothing happened in Rhode Island. At first, the middle classes took the lead, including Dorr himself. However, the Charter government, controlled by rural elites, fought back hard. For six weeks in 1842, there were two rival governments. The Dorrites, led by self-proclaimed governor Dorr, pulled back from violence (after their cannon misfired). Only one person died, a bystander killed by accident. The Charter government compromised. It wrote a new constitution in 1843 that dropped the property requirement for men born in the United States but kept it for foreign-born citizens, and it gave more seats in the legislature to the cities. That satisfied the native-born protesters, who gave up on the Rhode Island Suffrage Association. The state government had the upper hand; the national government refused to intervene, and Democrats in other states gave Dorr only verbal encouragement. His cause was hopeless—he and five lieutenants were sentenced to life in prison. They were pardoned in 1845 when the agitation had ended. Not until 1888 were the property qualifications dropped for immigrants. In the next Presidential election held after the Dorr Rebellion in 1844, 12,296 votes were cast from Rhode Island, a significant increase from the 8,621 cast in 1840. | Event | SocietalEvent | MilitaryConflict |

The Sri Lanka bush warbler, Ceylon bush warbler or Palliser's warbler (Elaphrornis palliseri) is an Old World warbler which is an endemic resident breeder in Sri Lanka, where it is the only bush warbler. The Sri Lanka bush warbler has sometimes been placed in the genus Bradypterus; it appears to be closely related to that genus, but differs in structure (relatively shorter-tailed and longer-billed), plumage (unmarked) and song. It is monotypic. The Sri Lanka bush warbler is a bird of dense forest undergrowth, often close to water. It is found in the highlands of central Sri Lanka, usually above 1200 m. The nest is built in a shrub, and two eggs are laid. This is a medium-large warbler at 14 cm. The adult has a plain brown back, pale grey underparts, a broad tail and short wings. There is a weak supercilium, and the throat is tinged orange. The sexes are identical, as with most warblers, but young birds lack the throat colouration. The Sri Lanka bush warbler is a skulky species which can very difficult to see. Perhaps the best site is Horton Plains National Park. It keeps low in vegetation, and, like most warblers, it is insectivorous. Males are often only detected by the loud song, which has an explosive queet. | Species | Animal | Bird |

Richard James Cushing (August 24, 1895 – November 2, 1970) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Archbishop of Boston from 1944 to 1970, and was created a cardinal in 1958. Cushing's main role was as fundraiser and builder of new churches, schools, and institutions. He was on good terms with practically the entire Boston elite, as he softened the traditional confrontation between the Catholic Irish and the Protestant upper-class. Cushing built useful relationships with Jews, Protestants, and institutions outside the usual Catholic community. He helped presidential candidate John F. Kennedy deflect fears of papal interference in American government if a Catholic became president. Cushing's high energy level allowed him to meet with many people all day, often giving lengthy speeches at night. Cushing was not efficient at business affairs, and when expenses built up he counted on his fund-raising skills instead of cost-cutting. Cushing, says Nasaw, was “fun-loving, informal, and outgoing. He looked rather like a tough, handsome, Irish cop and behaved more like a ward politician than a high church cleric.” His major weakness in retrospect was overexpansion, adding new institutions that could not be sustained in the long run and had to be cut back by his successors. | Agent | Cleric | Cardinal |

You Can't Use My Name: The RSVP/PPX Sessions is a posthumous compilation album by Curtis Knight and the Squires featuring Jimi Hendrix. Except for one song, the album compiles recordings made by Knight in 1965 and 1966, with Hendrix providing backup guitar before he moved to England to start the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Knights wrote and sings all of the songs, except for four instrumentals, which are credited to Hendrix. The title refers Hendrix's stipulation to producer Ed Chalpin at the beginning of the 1967 session: \n* Hendrix: Edward, can you hear me? In other words, like you can't, you can't use my name for any of this stuff, all right? ... no, serious though, seriously. \n* Chalpin: Don't worry about it. I won't use it, don't worry about it. Shortly thereafter, Chalpin licensed the recordings to Capitol Records, who issued an album titled Get That Feeling with billing as \"Jimi Hendrix and Curtis Knight\" in 1967. After Hendrix, his managers, and Reprise Records, his official American label, objected to the misleading billing and cover photo of Hendrix performing at the Monterey Pop Festival, Capitol issued a second album Flashing in 1968 billed as \"Jimi Hendrix Plays, Curtis Knight Sings\" with a sketch of Knight and Hendrix. Chalpin subsequently licensed the recordings to dozens of minor record labels, who used them to issue well over one hundred purported \"Jimi Hendrix\" albums. To give the appearance of new material, the songs were often doctored by editing and overdubbing and given new names. Hendrix commented, \"They [the Knight/Chalpin sessions] were nothing but jam sessions, man, with a group called the Squires. No, I didn't sing on 'Hush Now', that was dubbed on later by Knight trying to copy my voice.\" After years of litigation, Experience Hendrix, a family company that has managed Hendrix's recording legacy since 1995, acquired the sole rights to the Knight/Chalpin/PPX material. According to producer/engineer Eddie Kramer, You Can't Use My Name presents the best available original recordings without the subsequent doctoring. | Work | MusicalWork | Album |
