Schoharie County is a county in the U. S. state of New York. As of the 2010 census, the population was 32,749; the county seat is Schoharie. "Schoharie" comes from a Mohawk word meaning "floating driftwood." Schoharie County is part of NY Metropolitan Statistical Area. The large territory of the county was long occupied by the Mohawk Indians and, to the west, the other four tribes of the Iroquois League. After European colonization of the Northeast started, the Mohawk had a lucrative fur trade with the French coming down from Canada, as well as the early Dutch colonists, British and German colonists; some Palatine Germans, who worked in camps on the Hudson to pay off their passage in 1710 settled in this county in the 1720s and 30s. In addition, Scots-Irish immigrants settled in the present Schoharie County area before the American Revolutionary War near Cherry Creek. After Great Britain defeated the Dutch and took over their colony in 1664, they began to establish counties in the New York territory in 1683.

The present Schoharie County was first part of Albany County. This was an enormous county, including the northern part of New York State as well as all of the present State of Vermont. In theory, it extended westward to the Pacific Ocean, as the colonists wanted to keep their options open; this county was reduced in size on July 3, 1766, by the creation of Cumberland County, further on March 16, 1770, by the creation of Gloucester County, both containing territory now part of Vermont. On March 12, 1772, what was left of Albany County was split into three parts, one retaining the name Albany County. Tryon County was formed from the western portion of the territory; the eastern boundary of Tryon County was five miles west of the present city of Schenectady, the county included the western part of the Adirondack Mountains and the area west of the West Branch of the Delaware River. The area designated Tryon County was organized into what are now 37 counties of New York State; the county was named for colonial governor of New York.

In the years preceding 1776, as social and political tensions rose in the colony, most of the Loyalists in Tryon County on the frontier, fled to Canada. In 1784, after the peace treaty that ended the Revolutionary War and the establishment of states, the new government changed Tryon County's name to Montgomery County to honor United States General Richard Montgomery, who had captured several places in Canada and died trying to capture the city of Quebec; the state continued to organize new counties. In 1789, Montgomery County was reduced in size by the splitting off of Ontario County, it was much larger than the present county, including present-day Allegany, Chautauqua, Genesee, Monroe, Orleans, Wyoming and part of Schuyler and Wayne counties. In 1791, Otsego County was one of three counties split off from Montgomery. In 1795, Schoharie County was created by joining portions of Albany counties; this was an area of fighting during the American Revolutionary War. On the frontier, colonists were subject to raids by their Iroquois allies.

Four of the six tribes allied with the British. According to the U. S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 626 square miles, of which 622 square miles is land and 4.5 square miles is water. Schoharie County is in west of Albany and southeast of Utica. Much of the southern portion of the county lies within the Catskill Mountains. Land rises in both directions quite from Schoharie Creek in the middle of the county. In contrast, the northern part of the county is predominately small valleys. More than 75% of the county's population lives in the north, closer to the Mohawk River, the historic transportation route east and west through the state. Schoharie Creek is a northward-flowing tributary of the Mohawk River; the Schoharie Creek watershed spans an area of 950 square miles. The course of Schoharie Creek includes two reservoir-dam systems; the Gilboa Dam and the Schoharie Reservoir are part of the New York City Water Supply System. The New York Power Authority operates the Blenheim-Gilboa Dam and its reservoir to produce hydroelectric power.

The headwaters of the Delaware River is located in the Town of Jefferson. Tributaries of the Susquehanna River are located in the Towns of Summit; the highest point is at the summit of Huntersfield Mountain on the southern boundary with Greene County, at 3,423 feet above sea level. The lowest point is where the Montgomery County line meets Schoharie Creek, 520 feet above sea level; the most prominent geological feature is Vroman's Nose, near the village of Middleburgh, New York in the Town of Fulton.

Kepler-22 is a star in the northern constellation of Cygnus, the swan, orbited by a planet found to be unequivocally within the star's habitable zone. It is located at the celestial coordinates: Right Ascension 19h 16m 52.2s, Declination +47° 53′ 4.2″. With an apparent visual magnitude of 11.7, this star is too faint to be seen with the naked eye. It can be viewed with a telescope having an aperture of at least 4 in; the estimated distance to Kepler-22 is 638 light-years. Kepler-22 is smaller and cooler than the Sun, with a lower abundance of elements having more mass than helium, it has a spectral type of G5V. This star is radiating 79% of the Sun's luminosity from its outer atmosphere at an effective temperature of 5,518 K, giving it the yellow-hued glow of a G-type star. A projected rotational velocity of 0.6 km/s suggests. On December 5, 2011, scientists from the Kepler mission announced that a possible Earthlike world had been discovered orbiting in the star's habitable zone by NASA's Kepler spacecraft.

This was significant in that it was the first Earth-sized extrasolar planet confirmed to be orbiting within a star's habitable zone

The Apostolic Nuncio to Czechoslovakia was an ecclesiastical office of the Roman Catholic Church, established in 1920 and lasting, with significant interruptions, until 1993. It was a diplomatic post of the Holy See, whose representative is called the Apostolic Nuncio with the rank of an ambassador; the office of the nunciature was located in Prague. The relationship between the Holy See and the government of Czechoslovakia was strained more than not. In the 1920s, Apostolic Nuncio Francesco Marmaggi left Prague to protest public celebrations of the Czech national hero Jan Hus, a heretic in the eyes of the Church. Years of negotiations established a new working relationship, but the Vatican failed to persuade the Czechs to allow Marmaggi to return as nuncio, not a face-saving few weeks. World War II ended normal relations, the Holy See sought a diplomatic middle ground by granting recognition to the Slovak Republic, a Nazi client state, but sent a chargé d’affaires rather than a nuncio. Relations were restored only after the war before the new Communist government expelled the nuncio and terminated diplomatic relations.

With the fall of the Soviet Union, the parties renewed their old ties, but in less than three years Czechoslovakia divided into the Czech Republic and Slovakia, the Apostolic Nuncio to Czechoslovakia became nuncio to both of those new nations.
