Nearchus or Nearchos was one of the officers, a navarch, in the army of Alexander the Great. He is known for his celebrated voyage from the Indus river to the Persian Gulf following the Indian campaign of Alexander the Great, in 326–324 BC. A native of Lato in Crete and son of Androtimus, his family settled at Amphipolis in Macedonia at some point during Philip II's reign, at which point Nearchus was a young boy, he was certainly older than Alexander, as were Ptolemy and the others of the ‘boyhood friends’. Nearchus, along with Ptolemy and Laomedon, Harpalus, was one of Alexander's ‘mentors’ – and he was exiled by Philip as a result of the Pixodarus affair, it is not known where the exiles went, but they were recalled only after Philip's death, on Alexander's accession. After their recall, these men were held in the highest honour. Nearchus was appointed as satrap of Lycia and Pamphylia in 334/3 BC, one of the earliest of Alexander's satrapal appointments. In 328 BC he was relieved of his post and rejoined Alexander in Bactria, bringing with him reinforcements.

After the siege of Aornus Nearchus was sent at the head of a reconnaissance mission – to find out about elephants. In 326 BC, Nearchus was made admiral of the fleet. However, his trierarchy was a financial responsibility – that is, Nearchus put up the money for the boats. During the voyage some of the ships were damaged, Nearchus was instructed to remain behind to oversee repairs, before continuing down the river; this indicates some knowledge of shipbuilding, but he could hardly have been the only one qualified. However, he remained in command of the fleet for the voyage from the Indus to the Persian Gulf, which he recorded in detail. Again, although he was the admiral, in command of the fleet, great seamanship was not required – the naval responsibilities were Onesicritus’. During the voyage, Nearchus was reputedly the first Greek commander to visit Bahrain, called Tylos by the Greeks, his visit marked the start of Bahrain's inclusion within the Hellenic world, which culminated in the worship of Zeus and Greek being spoken as the language of the upper classes.

After many adventures, Nearchus arrived in Carmania, meeting up with Alexander after the latter's crossing of the Gedrosian desert. Alexander sent him off to complete his voyage – he went as far as the Euphrates before turning back to rejoin Alexander at Susa, in early 324 BC. Nearchus married the daughter of Barsine and Mentor, received a crown as recognition of his exertions, he took the fleet up to Babylon, where he gave Alexander the Chaldeans’ warning not to enter the city. Nearchus had a place in Alexander’s final plans, as he was to be the admiral of the Arabian invasion fleet. In the initial arguments over the rule of the empire Nearchus supported Heracles, Alexander’s son by Barsine – the king’s mistress was now his mother-in-law. Once order broke down he joined Antigonus’ camp, his last mention is as an adviser to Demetrius in 313/2 BC. Nearchus wrote a history of his voyages together with a description of India entitled Indica; this text is now lost, but its contents are known from information included by Strabo and other authors.

An account of his voyage is given in Arrian's own Indica, written in the 2nd century AD. Pliny the Elder wrote.

The Whiskeyhill Singers were formed in early 1961 by Dave Guard after he left The Kingston Trio. Guard formed the Singers as an attempt to return to the Trio's earlier roots in folk music; the Singers lasted about six months before disbanding. During that short period the group released one album, Dave Guard & The Whiskeyhill Singers, recorded a number of songs for the soundtrack of How the West Was Won, but only four of these were used in the movie. Although The Kingston Trio had risen in three years from smoky gigs in the San Francisco peninsula's college town fraternity houses and bars to San Francisco's prestigious hungry i and Purple Onion, on to become nationally and internationally well known and successful, Guard felt that by 1961 the Trio's musical style had become fixed and predictable, its performances commercial; the Trio, Guard felt, had lost touch with the folk music roots that brought him to form The Calypsonians, which he had formed with Nick Reynolds and the group which had morphed into The Kingston Quartet and finally with Bob Shane back from Hawaii into the Quartet's successor, The Kingston Trio.

Guard had concerns and conflicts with the way the Trio's publishing earnings were being handled. Those issues, combined with underlying, long simmering resentments and ego clashes between himself and his Trio colleague, former Punahou School classmate Shane over control and leadership of the now successful group that the three had formed, led Guard to leave the group. Shortly thereafter Guard formed the Whiskeyhill Singers with another Punahou high school friend, Cyrus Faryar, the Trio's bassist and musicologist David "Buck" Wheat. In line with Guard's intention to return to folk music, with its uninhibited enthusiasm and vocal harmonies, Faryar suggested the group bring in an acquaintance of his, Judy Henske, to provide a female balance to the male harmonies, in so doing, move definitively away from the Kingston Trio's male-only vocal format. Guard agreed, the Whiskeyhill Singers, with Henske as female lead developed their own innovative, folk music mood and sound. Despite the group's intent to return to folk music along the lines of Pete Seeger's The Weavers, Guard's and Wheat's long association with the Trio and its musical style had an influence on the Singers' own musical style and arrangements.

Complicating matters was the fact that the Trio's rollicking and successful performing style of uninhibited enthusiasm was taken directly from Weavers-style folk music, leading to criticism that the musical style of the Singers was more "Trio-like" than being an original style of their own. At the time that it disbanded, Guard said that The Whiskeyhill Singers had posted a loss of $10,000; the producers of the MGM film How the West Was Won had approached The Kingston Trio to sing folk songs on the soundtrack for the movie. But learning Guard was beginning a new group, they felt the Whiskeyhills' sound, not as commercially slick, better suited their production, they performed several folk songs, "The Erie Canal", "900 Miles", "The Ox Driver", "Raise A Ruckus Tonight". Judy Henske sang lead with the Singers on "Careless Love" and soloed as the unknown singer on "A Railroader's Bride I'll Be". Cyrus Faryar can be heard performing solo on the track "Wanderin'" and Dave Guard on "Poor Wayfarin' Stranger".

The film was nominated for the Academy Award in 1962 for the best Motion Picture Soundtrack. They recorded the main title tune, but once this small group of singers were placed on a soundstage, recording before the full MGM Studio Orchestra, the experience was somewhat overwhelming. The full choir performed the song over the opening credits. Dave Guard is considered to be a important figure of the folk music scene of both the 1950s and 1960s; the Kingston Trio is credited with creating and popularizing eclectic folk and neo-folk music, a form, now being called "world music". David "Buck" Wheat was born in San Antonio, Texas, in 1922. Lived for many years in Sausalito, part of the "Beat" generation, he was a well-known jazz guitarist and bass player with the big dance bands and in 1957 recorded with the Chet Baker Trio on "My Funny Valentine" and "Embraceable You". He is best known as the bass accompanist for The Kingston Trio. Like Dave Guard, Cyrus Faryar attended Punahou School, graduating in 1953.

By 1957 Faryar's avant garde interests led him to establish a "beat" style coffee house in Honolulu. Popularized first in San Francisco's Broadway section, Faryar's Greensleeves coffee house was, like those popularized first by San Francisco's beat generation in the Broadway section of the city, a gathering place for local musicians and writers. Faryar was contacted by Dave Guard about joining a new group to become the Whiskeyhill Singers, before Guard's final appearances with the Trio, he had been performing his solo act at Scottsdale Arizona and received a telephone call from Guard saying that he was leaving the Trio and would arrange to meet with him and Buckwheat when The Kingston Trio was performing a scheduled date at Tempe a few weeks later. By that time Faryar had closed Greensleeves, left Honolulu, established himself in San Diego, California. Faryar agreed, having known Guard from their Punahou days together, having appeared with him in various school drama and musical productions.

Liz Seneff joined The Whiskeyhill Singers in July 1962. Her tenure was brief, as Dave Guard was seeking a home in Sydney Australia and he moved there in October 1962 after winding-up the group. Guard, like his classmate Bob Shane (b. Robert Ca

Stachus is a large square in central Munich, southern Germany. The square was named Karlsplatz in 1797 after the unpopular Charles Theodore, Elector of Bavaria. Munich natives use that name, calling the square instead Stachus, after the pub Beim Stachus, once owned by Eustachius Föderl, located there until construction work for Karlsplatz began; the U-Bahn and S-Bahn announcements use the unofficial name. The most important buildings dominating the square are on the east side of the Karlstor, a gothic gate of the demolished medieval fortifications together with the rondell buildings on both sides of the gate; the gate was first documented in 1301 and called Neuhauser Tor until 1791 when it was renamed Karlstor in honor of Charles Theodore, Elector of Bavaria. During the summer, a large fountain operates in front of the Karlstor and in winter an open-air ice rink is installed there; the most significant buildings on the opposite west side are the neo-baroque Justizpalast and the Kaufhof, the first postwar department store built in Munich.

A new building is planned for the Hotel Königshof. The underground contains a large shopping center. Between Stachus square and Marienplatz, the main pedestrian area of the city, houses numerous shops and restaurants; the Karlsplatz U-Bahn and S-Bahn station is located below the square. Stachus serves as a hub for the city's tramway system, with a four track tram station located on Altstadtring, the Old Town's orbital road system.
