# Monstera gambensis

***Monstera gambensis*** is a species of plant in the family Araceae. It is endemic to the tropical forest of La Gamba, Golfito, Costa Rica at 100m elevation. They can be found on the floor of humid forests with their stems climbing up trees and aerial roots visible above the soil. Sometimes the entire plant can be found solely on trees. *M. gambensis* is typically not fenestrated until the adult stage, but can have two perforations on their blade.

## Growth

*M. gambensis* starts off as seedlings which then grow into juvenile plants capable of appressed-climbing. The stems are dark green in color with internodes that are 3-5 cm long, and their petioles are visible with either a dark or light green color. *M. gambensis* leaves bend to face the sun. The leaf blades are neither horizontal nor flat so that it is able to grow on another plant, and they are rarely varigated.

Adult *M. gambensis* are appressed-climbers with dark green stems, similar lengths of internodes and unchanged color of petioles, but in this mature stage, their corky roots have black hairs and the leaf blades are bigger. Adult *M. gambensis* can have fenestrations. *M. gambensis'*s roots are photosynthetic and can coil on the ground or wrap around a tree. Its roots can be scattered along the stems that are less compact, giving more room to grow. Root lengths depends on their closeness to the original center of the host; the closest roots are longer. The shape of the leaves help them catch rainwater that falls off of the host plant, and it also gets nutrients from leaf-litter.

## Ecology

*M. gambensis* is a hemiepiphyte, which means that it spends a part of its lifecycle as an epiphyte. *M. gambensis* can develop a pseudotrunk that allows it to outgrow its host. The plants aerial roots may either go into the soil or spread along the ground. As an epiphyte, *M. gambensis* is benefited but its host is neither benefited nor harmed, as is true for all non-parasitic epiphytes.

## Reproduction

Pollination of *M. gambensis* typically happens via *Trigona*, beetle, or fly. Beetles are attracted to the inflorescence of *M. gambensis* flowers where they mate and eat the flower, its tissue, or the pollen grains. Similar to beetle pollination, flies visit the inflorescence on the flower so they can mate and deposit eggs. The adult flies eat the stigmatic secretions or pollen grains, while the larvae eat the decomposing parts of the flower. These insect-based pollinations maintain genetic diversity.

# Monmouth, Illinois, minor league baseball history

Minor league baseball teams were based in Monmouth, Illinois in various seasons between 1889 and 1913. Monmouth teams played as members of the Central Interstate League in 1889, Illinois-Iowa League in 1890, Illinois-Missouri League from 1908 to 1909 and Central Association from 1910 to 1913. Monmouth won the 1909 Illinois-Missouri League championship and hosted home games at the 11th Street Park.

## History

Semi–pro and amateur baseball was popular in Monmouth, with early baseball teams playing in various leagues. In 1888, the Monmouth Athletic Association was incorporated and designed to support local baseball efforts.

Mommouth first hosted minor league baseball in 1889. Monmouth fielded a team in the 1889 Central Interstate League, consisting of Indiana, Illinois and Iowa teams. The league featured the Burlington Babies, Davenport Hawkeyes, Evansville Hoosiers, Peoria Canaries, Quincy Black Birds and Springfield Senators, who joined Monmouth in the eight–team league. The standings and statistics for 1889 are unknown.

In 1890 the **Monmouth Maple Cities** joined the new Illinois-Iowa League as a charter member. Monmouth began play along with the Aurora Hoodoos, Cedar Rapids Blackbirds, Dubuque Giants, Joliet Convicts, Ottawa Pirates, Ottumwa Coal Palaces and Sterling Blue Coats. The league did not allow Sunday games. Monmouth placed 2nd with a 64–48 record in 1890, finishing 4.5 games behind 1st place Ottumwa, playing under manager John Halpin. The Monmouth franchise folded from the league after the 1890 season and were replaced in the eight–team league by the Quincy Ravens in 1891.

In 1908, the Monmouth Browns were founded. The Browns joined the newly formed Class D level Illinois-Missouri League as charter members. Monmouth Mayor John S. Brown was instrumental in the forming of the Illinois–Missouri League and the Monmouth use of the "Browns" team moniker was in tribute to John Brown.

The Monmouth Browns finished with a 55–62 record to place fifth in the 1908 Illinois-Missouri League. The Browns were managed by Robert Hyde and Charles Karnell. Other charter members of the 1908 six–team league were the Canton Chinks (56–61), Galesburg Hornets (50–67), Hannibal Cannibals (68–49), Havana Perfectors (58–61) and Macomb Potters (66–53). Mommouth finished 13.0 games behind first place Hannibal in the final standings.

The Monmouth Browns captured the 1909 Illinois-Missouri League Championship. Managed by Jack Corbett, the Monmouth Browns placed first in the Illinois-Missouri League with a 77–50 record in the six–team league. The Browns finished 1.0 game ahead of the second place Beardstown Infants as the league had no playoffs following the regular seasons. Monmouth drew 23,000 for the season, 362 per game. On September 19, 1909, Browns pitcher Notley Jones threw a no–hitter in a 2–0 victory over the Galesburg Boosters.

In 1910, the Monmouth Browns Monmouth left the Illinois–Missouri League after winning the championship to become members of the eight–team Class D level Central Association. Monmouth finished with a record of 62–72, placing sixth in 1910. Monmouth played alongside the Burlington Pathfinders (56–81), Galesburg Pavers (69–67), Hannibal Cannibals (77–60), Keokuk Indians (67–70), Kewanee Boilermakers (49–91), Ottumwa Packers (80–57) and Quincy Vets (88–50) in league play. Monmouth was managed by Lew Drill in 1910 and finished 24.0 games behind the first place Quincy Vets in the final standings. Season attendance for the Monmouth Browns was 25,000.

Monmouth placed sixth and finished with a 59–69 record in the 1911 Central Association. The Browns were managed by Claude Stark and finished 28.0 games behind the Ottumwa Speedboys.

In 1912, the Monmouth Browns finished with a 71–55 record, placing fourth under managers Bert Hough, Jack Corbett and R.L. Noven. Finishing 6.5 games behind the first place Ottumwa Speedboys in the Central Association standings. Monmouth drew 18,000 fans in 1912, an average of 286 per game.

In their final season, the 1913 Monmouth Browns placed third in the eight–team Central Association final standings. Monmouth ended the season with a 64–62 record, playing under manager Bert Hough. The Browns finished 8.0 games behind the first place Ottumwa Packers. The Monmouth franchise permanently folded after the 1913 season.

Monmouth, Illinois has not hosted another minor league team.

## The ballpark

The Monmouth Browns were noted to have played minor league home games at **11th Street Park** from 1908 to 1913. The ballpark was built by the city of Monmouth in 1907, spearheaded by Mayor John S. Brown. The ballpark was located in the 700 block of 11th Street, along the rail line. Today, the site houses the Birchwood Apartments.

The **Monument to the Discoverers** or **400th Anniversary Column** (Spanish: *Monumento a los descubridores* or *Columna del IV Centenario*) is an instance of public art in Palos de la Frontera, Spain. It is dedicated to the "discoverers" of the Americas.

## History and description

By 1892, the Provincial Deputation of Huelva tasked Ricardo Velázquez Bosco with the erection of a monument to Columbus and the explorers of the Americas on a plot formerly owned by the House of Alba near the friary of La Rábida.

The monument was unveiled on 12 October 1892, the day marking the 400th anniversary of the arrival of Christopher Columbus to the Americas.

The original project consisted of a multi-body hexagonal pedestal, which served as the base of a column, topped by an Earth globe.

The monument underwent a restoration by Luis Martínez Feduchi from 1963 to 1967, substantially altering the original work.

By the turn of the 21st century, the monument was in a dire state of conservation. It was declared *bien de interés cultural* in 2008.

A new restoration, intending to consolidate the monument by installing a core of reinforced concrete, also recovering elements of the original work, such as an Earth orb or a crown, took place in the 2010s. Works finished by 2014, and the monument, standing 54,90 metre high including the recovered elements, was re-inaugurated on 31 July 2014. Three buried sculpted heads of native americans (reportedly representing the aztec, maya and taíno civilizations) part of the original monument were found out by 2011 during the disassembly of the column.

# Monk's cloth

**Monk's cloth** is a loosely woven cotton or linen fabric made of coarser yarns that drape well.

## Basketweave

The Monk's cloth was woven with basketweave, usually with 2×2 or 4×4. Basketweave is a plain weave, with the difference that it allows two or more filling yarn to pass over and under two or more warp yarns and forms a check pattern.

## Characteristics

This cloth has a loose over and under four strand weave. These strands are called floats and are used to weave the threads through. The cloth is 100% cotton and can be purchased in a variety of colors at craft and fabric stores. The cotton will shrink when washed, so should be pre-washed before so as to achieve the correct sizing before stitching.

## Use

In the 1940s monk's cloth was used to decorate borders on towels, throws, baby blankets, pillows, wall hanging, pictures, linens and clothing. Swedish dresses were decorated for traditional outfits with a variety of threads. Today, cotton Floss and yarns are used on the fabric to create beautifully decorated items.

| *The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings* |  |

In his review on AllMusic, Michael G. Nastos states: "This recording properly acknowledges Coryell's main influences, swings nicely, delves into his under-appreciated mellow side, and reaffirms his status as an enduring jazz guitarist who still has plenty to say ... this finely crafted recording ranks with any of his many better-to-best dates". In *JazzTimes*, Jim Ferguson wrote: "Once a young lion of jazz guitar, Coryell is gradually becoming one of its greatest seasoned veterans, as this material strongly suggests".

# Monastery of Saint John in the Wilderness

The **Monastery of Saint John in the Wilderness** is a Franciscan Catholic monastery built next to a spring on a wooded slope just north of Even Sapir, Israel, and across the valley from Sataf. It is located a short distance from Ein Karem, the traditional birthplace of Saint John the Baptist, and south of Jerusalem. It is also known as **Saint John in the Desert** or the **Desert of Saint John**. The convent is the property of the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land.

## Significance

The monastery commemorates the "wilderness" in which St. John the Baptist lived as an orphaned child and throughout the years which prepared him for public ministry. According to tradition, John was born some 3 km away in Ein Karem, and Luke tells us that John "grew and became strong in spirit; and he lived in the desert until he appeared publicly to Israel".

## Description

The monastery has a church and is built next to the grotto in which St John is said to have lived, which now functions as a chapel. The monastery also contains the spring known in Arabic as ‘Ain el-Habis, 'spring of the hermit', and the tomb of Elizabeth, St John's mother.

## History

The Crusaders built here a church and convent.

In the Mamluk period, the church was in the hands of the Georgians. Franciscans paid the Georgians rent for the building and adjacent garden. The Georgians made a final attempt to regain the monastery by legal means in 1596.

The current monastery and its church were designed by Italian architect Antonio Barluzzi and were inaugurated in 1922.

# Monastery of Saint John the Baptist in Jašunja

**The monastery of St. John the Baptist** is located near the Jašunja village in the municipality of Leskovac, Serbia. It was founded in 1517 on the site of a temple from the time of Nemanjić dynasty, and since 1986 it represents an immovable cultural asset as a cultural monument of great importance.

## History

The church dedicated to Saint John the Baptist was built by Andronic Cantakouzin with the brothers, on the site of the older monastery. The Cantakouzin family was closely related to the last descendants of the despotic Branković line. The church has a single nave, with semi-shaped vaults and a porch on the west side. The temple is completely painted, and the oldest frescoes were painted in 1524 thanks to a certain Peter from Sofia. These frescoes are located in the nave. The frescoes in the middle zone of the narthex were painted later, around 1584, when the western facade was also painted. The monastery was damaged several times by the Turks, so it was often restored and rebuilt. The monastery church was rebuilt in 1693, when the roof structure was rebuilt and changed. Then a new painting was painted, which completely covered the old one, and the founders of the painting were Roman and Pop Živko. The monastery was badly damaged during the First and Second Serbian uprisings, but was soon restored. The last works on the frescoes were carried out in 1902 by the fresco painter from Veles, Jakov, with the help of his son Djordje, keeping the original layout of the compositions. Archaeological, architectural and picturesque conservation works were carried out in the period from 1986 to 1987.

After the October Revolution, in the 1920s, Russian monks settled in the monastery, when the material and spiritual renovation of this sanctuary began. After the Second World War, with the arrival of the new government, in 1952, all the property of the monastery was confiscated.

title: Monna Vanna (Rossetti)

abstract: Monna Vanna is an 1866 oil on canvas painting by Dante Gabriel Rossetti. It was acquired by the collector William Henry Blackmore and later entered the collection of George Rae, one of Rossetti's patrons. It later passed from Rae to the joint ownership of Arthur Du Cros and Otto Beit and it was purchased from them by the Tate Gallery in 1916 via the NACF – it is now in the collection of Tate Britain in London. It shows a frontal half-length portrait of one of Rossetti's main models, Alexa Wilding, with her head turned to the right of the frame. She is shown with pale, luminous and delicate skin and a hard penetrating gaze. She holds a feather fan over her right shoulder as well wearing many kinds of jewellery, picked by the painter to show off his painterly skill – a red coral necklace, rings and earrings. In her hair are two spiral shell-shaped hairclips, accessories particularly loved by Rossetti and used here to emphasize the painting's circular composition. Rossetti's own opinion of the painting was that it was "probably the most effective as a room decoration that I have ever painted".

# Monna Vanna (Rossetti)

***Monna Vanna*** is an 1866 oil on canvas painting (88.9 × 86.4 cm) by Dante Gabriel Rossetti. It was acquired by the collector William Henry Blackmore and later entered the collection of George Rae, one of Rossetti's patrons. It later passed from Rae to the joint ownership of Arthur Du Cros and Otto Beit and it was purchased from them by the Tate Gallery in 1916 via the NACF – it is now in the collection of Tate Britain in London.

It shows a frontal half-length portrait of one of Rossetti's main models, Alexa Wilding, with her head turned to the right of the frame. She is shown with pale, luminous and delicate skin (fitting in with the aestheticism of the time) and a hard penetrating gaze. She holds a feather fan over her right shoulder as well wearing many kinds of jewellery, picked by the painter to show off his painterly skill – a red coral necklace, rings and earrings. In her hair are two spiral shell-shaped hairclips, accessories particularly loved by Rossetti and used here to emphasize the painting's circular composition. Rossetti's own opinion of the painting was that it was "probably the most effective as a room decoration that I have ever painted".

## Title

Its original title was ***Venus Veneta*** (*Venetian Venus*), making it a response to Renaissance and classical archetypes, particular those by Titian and other 16th century painters – in a letter dated 27 September 1866, Rossetti stated his aim in painting it was to produce "a Venetian lady in a rich dress of white and gold – in short the Venetian ideal of female beauty". After its completion he renamed it *Monna Vanna* (*vain woman*) to underline the vanity of life or more likely to emphasize the subject's Italian origins.

The new title derived from Monna Vanna ("Vain Woman"), a character in chapter XXIV of one of Rossetti's favourite books, *La Vita Nuova* (1294) by his namesake Dante Alighieri. The woman in question may refer to Giovanna, the beloved of the poet Guido Cavalcanti, who is heavily associated with images of springtime in Dante's work. The painter had translated the *Vita* into English in 1848 and it had intense personal significance to him, principally in its allusions to spring, referenced in this painting by the vase of flowers in the top right hand corner and the floral motifs on the woman's gold brocade robe. In 1873 Rossetti renamed it again, this time as *Belcolore*, since he now felt the other titles did not fully indicate the modernity of the subject, but this did not last and *Monna Vanna* is still the accepted title.

# Morgan Creek (Tohickon Creek tributary)

**Morgan Creek** is a tributary of the Tohickon Creek in Bucks County, Pennsylvania in the United States, rising in Milford Township and empties into the Tohickon in Richland Township east of Quakertown.

## History

The stream was originally named Bog Run as it was indicated so on a draft of Elizabeth Galloway's land in 1781 and a number of other drafts by Samuel Foulke about the same time. It was named so because it ran through the wetlands today known as the Quakertown Swamp. The origin of the name Morgan Creek is unknown, but, it may have referred to General Daniel Morgan.

## Statistics

The Geographic Names Information System identification is 1181545. The Pennsylvania Gazatteer of Streams' identification is 03184. Morgan Creek has a watershed of 4.54 square miles (11.8 km2). The elevation of the source is approximately 530 feet (160 m) and the elevation at the mouth is 479 feet (146 m) and it meets its confluence at the Tohickon Creek's 23.0 river mile.

## Course

Morgan Creek rises in Milford Township just south of Trumbauersville at an elevation of 540 feet (160 m) and flows toward the east and slowly curves to the northeast by the time it drains into the Tohickon at an elevation of 479 feet (146 m). The stream has an average slope of 12.5 feet per mile (1.78 meters per kilometer).

## Geology

The course of Morgan Run lies in the Brunswick Formation laid down during the Jurassic and the Triassic and consists of mudstone, siltstone, along with reddish-brown, green, and brown shale. Mineralogy includes argillite and hornfels.

title: Monetary and fiscal policy of Japan

abstract: Monetary policy pertains to the regulation, availability, and cost of credit, while Fiscal policy deals with government expenditures, taxes, and debt. Through management of these areas, the Ministry of Finance regulated the allocation of resources in the economy, affected the distribution of income and wealth among the citizenry, stabilized the level of economic activities, and promoted economic growth and welfare. The Ministry of Finance played an important role in Japan's postwar economic growth. It advocated a "growth first" approach, with a high proportion of government spending going to capital accumulation, and minimum government spending overall, which kept both taxes and deficit spending down, making more money available for private investment. Most Japanese put money into savings accounts, mostly postal savings.

Through management of these areas, the Ministry of Finance regulated the allocation of resources in the economy, affected the distribution of income and wealth among the citizenry, stabilized the level of economic activities, and promoted economic growth and welfare.

The Ministry of Finance played an important role in Japan's postwar economic growth.

Most Japanese put money into savings accounts, mostly postal savings.

## Budget process

The Budget Bureau of the Ministry of Finance is at the heart of the political process because it draws up the national budget each year. This responsibility makes it the ultimate focus of interest groups and of other ministries that compete for limited funds. The budgetary process generally begins soon after the start of a new fiscal year on April 1. Ministries and government agencies prepare budget requests in consultation with the Policy Research Council.

In the fall of each year, Budget Bureau examiners reviews these requests in great detail, while top Ministry of Finance officials work out the general contours of the new budget and the distribution of tax revenues. During the winter, after the release of the ministry's draft budget, campaigning by individual Diet members for their constituents and different ministries for revisions and supplementary allocations becomes intense. The coalition leaders and Ministry of Finance officials consult on a final draft budget, which is generally passed by the Diet in late winter.

In broad outline, the process reveals a basic characteristic of Japanese political dynamics: that despite the oft-stated ideals of "harmony" and "consensus," interests, including bureaucratic interests, are in strong competition for resources. Political leaders and Budget Bureau officials need great skill to reach mutually acceptable compromises. The image of "Japan Incorporated," in which harmony and unanimity are virtually automatic, belies the reality of intense rivalry. The late-twentieth-century system is successful insofar as political skills and appreciation of common interests minimize antagonisms and maintain a balance of power among groups. It is unclear, however, whether this system will continue as Japan faces such problems as growing social inequality and an aging society.

## National debt

In 2011 Japan's public debt was about 230 percent of its annual gross domestic product, the largest percentage of any nation in the world.

In order to address the Japanese budget gap and growing national debt, in June 2012 the Japanese Diet passed a bill to double the national consumption tax to 10%. The new bill increases the tax to 8% by April 2014 and 10% by October 2015. However, it was delayed until at least October 2019.

# Yaumatei Ferry Pier

**Yaumatei Ferry Pier** (Chinese: 油麻地碼頭), also known as **Public Square Street Ferry Pier** (Chinese: 公眾四方街碼頭) (1924–1933) was a ferry pier at the junction of Public Square Street and Ferry Street (now Prosperous Garden) in Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon, Hong Kong. The seaside outside Ferry Street is now reclaimed.

Another pier, at the other end of the company's main route, in Central, was known as HYF pier, for 'Hong Kong and Yaumatei Ferry'.

## History

Since the Hong Kong and Yaumati Ferry Company began service between Yau Ma Tei and Central in 1923, Yaumatei Ferry Pier started operation on 1 January 1924. In 1933, the Ferry Company developed its vehicular ferry service, but the pier was too small for vehicular ferries. So ferry service at the pier was moved to Jordan Road Ferry Pier in Jordan west. And the pier was open to public use.

# United States v. McBratney

***United States v. McBratney***, 104 U.S. 621 (1881), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that upon the admission of Colorado as a state, there being no reservation to the United States of jurisdiction over the Indian territory within the state limits, that the United States circuit court for the district of Colorado had no jurisdiction over the murder of one white man by another in the Ute reservation in said state.

## Background

McBratney was convicted of the murder of Thomas Casey on the Ute Reservation in Colorado. Following conviction, McBratney appealed claiming that the federal courts did not have jurisdiction to try a white man for the murder of another white man on an Indian reservation. On appeal, the circuit court could not come to an agreement and issued a certificate of division.

## Supreme Court

Justice Horace Gray delivered the opinion of the court. Gray stated that although the treaty with the Utes provided for federal jurisdiction, the act of Congress creating the state of Colorado did not reserve federal jurisdiction over Indian reservations. He noted that in the past, Congress had explicitly reserved such lands and jurisdiction, as in the case of Kansas. The federal court would still have jurisdiction for crimes committed against Indians by whites, or vice versa, but the state otherwise had jurisdiction.

## Subsequent developments

Since the decision, every state that has been admitted, with the exception of Hawaii, has been required to acknowledge federal jurisdiction over reservation lands.

# Unmarried (1939 film)

***Unmarried*** is a 1939 American film directed by Kurt Neumann and starring Helen Twelvetrees, Buck Jones and Donald O'Connor.

## Plot

Nightclub hostess Pat Rogers and her boxer boyfriend Slag Bailey aren't sure what to do after their associate Pins Streaver tries to rob a safe and dies in the act.

They travel together to Pins' home in the country, where 12-year-old Ted Streaver returns from school, unaware that his father is dead. Intending to stay a short while, Pat and Slag pretend to be a married couple and become the boy's foster parents.

Ted grows up to become a football hero in school, but trouble arises when Cash Enright, an unscrupulous boxing promoter, appears and tries to persuade Ted to step into the ring. Slag is socked on the jaw by the kid but ultimately succeeds in convincing him not to fight.

## Cast

Unbilled players include Janet Waldo, Emory Parnell and Lucien Littlefield.

## Critical reception

A contemporary review in *Variety* reported that the film "emerges as an entertaining offering" that "gains in immediate interest with fast-paced opening" and has "a neat mixture of warm sentimentality with some rousing action episodes." The review further describes Neumann's direction as "strid\[ing\] through on a straight, clear-cut line with few soft spots," Twelvetrees performance as handled in "fine fashion," and "Jones does okay as the mugg fighter."
