It was submitted by Ms. McCall's 3rd and 4th grade class at Landers Elementary School and was unveiled on June 10, 2014. However, for almost half a century, Landers has been known to its residents as "the land of 1000 vistas".

Landers Shoot, Queensland
Landers Shoot is a rural locality in the Sunshine Coast Region, Queensland, Australia. In the , Landers Shoot had a population of 252 people. Geography Landers Shoot is in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. History Edmund Lander leased the area known as the Mooloolah Back Plain from the Queensland Government in 1861. He, along with other pioneers, harvested the timber along the Blackall Range. When the timber was harvested, the bark was stripped, making them slippery from the sap and a sharp point was made on one end of the tree. The tree was then pushed over the eastern side of the cliff down "chutes" (to be collected at the bottom, and transported to the nearest mills). Landers Shoot (a corruption of Lander's Chute) was the base region where the logs arrived at the base of the cliff. Lander's Shoot State School opened on 17 February 1914 and closed on 31 December 1944. It was at approx 471 Upper Landershute Road (). In the , Landers Shoot had a population of 252 people. Educa ...

Lander's Horseshoe Bat
Lander's horseshoe bat (''Rhinolophus landeri'') is a species of bat in the family Rhinolophidae found in Africa. Its natural habitats are savanna and caves. Taxonomy and etymology It was described as a new species in 1837 by English naturalist William Charles Linnaeus Martin. The eponym for the species name "''landeri''" was explorer Richard Lander. Martin named the species after Lander because the holotype had been collected during Lander's expedition to Fernando Pó. It was Martin's intention to posthumously honor Lander, calling him "enterprising, but unfortunate" after his untimely death at age 29. Description It is a medium-sized member of its family. Individuals weigh . Total length is approximately ; tail length is and forearm length is . Range and habitat It has been widely documented throughout Sub-Saharan Africa.

Ask Ann Landers
Ann Landers was a pen name created by ''Chicago Sun-Times'' advice columnist Ruth Crowley in 1943 and taken over by Esther Pauline "Eppie" Lederer (July 4, 1918 – June 22, 2002) in 1955. For 56 years, the Ask Ann Landers syndicated advice column was a regular feature in many newspapers across North America. Owing to this popularity, "Ann Landers", though fictional, became something of a national institution and cultural icon. Ruth Crowley: the original 'Ann Landers' (1943–1955) The creator of the "Ann Landers" pseudonym was Ruth Crowley, a Chicago nurse who had been writing a child-care column for the ''Sun'' since 1941. She chose the pseudonym at random—borrowing the surname 'Landers' from a family friend—to prevent confusion between her two columns. Unlike her eventual successor Esther Lederer, Crowley kept her identity as Landers secret, even enjoining her children to help her keep it quiet. Crowley took a three-year break from writing the column from 1948 un ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
1992 Landers Earthquake
The 1992 Landers earthquake occurred on Sunday, June 28 with an epicenter near the town of Landers, California, Landers, California, in San Bernardino County. The shock had a Moment magnitude scale, moment magnitude of 7.3 and a maximum Mercalli intensity scale, Mercalli intensity of IX (''Violent''). Earthquake At 4:57 a.m. local time (11:57 UTC) on June 28, 1992, a Moment magnitude scale, magnitude 7.3 earthquake awoke much of Southern California. Though it turned out it was not the so-called "The Big One (earthquake), Big One" as many people would think, it was still a very strong earthquake. The shaking lasted for two to three minutes. Although this earthquake was much more powerful than the 1994 Northridge earthquake, the damage and loss of life were minimized by its location in the sparsely-populated Mojave Desert. The earthquake was a Sinistral and dextral, right-lateral strike-slip event, and involved the rupture of several different Fault (geology), faults over a l ...

Landers Theatre
The Landers Theatre in Springfield, Missouri, built in 1909, is the second oldest and largest civic theater operation in Missouri. It has been in continuous use either as a legitimate theatre or a movie theater since it opened. In 1928, the theater became the 35th facility in the world to acquire sound film. It was designed by architects Carl Boller and Brother in association with Hickenlively and Mark of Springfield in a French-influenced neoclassical style. It is located in the Walnut Street Commercial Historic District. The theater is unusual in its use of wood for nearly all structural framing, in contrast with the steel and cast iron more usually employed in its time. D.J. Landers, the original owner, was in the lumber business, providing a possible explanation. Where steel is employed, it uses unusual bonded steel and masonry assemblies. The theater was designed for live performance, with a large stage and supporting spaces. The theater's street facade employs Missouri l ...

Little Landers
The Little Landers colonies were attempts at small-scale cooperative agriculture in California, organized by journalist and writer William E. Smythe. The first colony, in San Ysidro, San Diego, California, was inaugurated in early 1909. The colonies were not successful, and by 1925 the last one was almost completely abandoned. History Smythe's idea, inspired by Bolton Hall's book, ''A Little Land and a Living'', was that a group of families should have small farms, with one to five acres of land each, and market their produce cooperatively. The first colony was in the San Diego area. After public meetings, the Little Landers Corporation was incorporated on August 1, 1908. The resulting colony was located on the former Belcher Ranch. It was named San Ysidro, probably after the patron saint of farmers, Isidore the Laborer, and was formally inaugurated on January 11, 1909. It eventually consisted of about 150 acres on the valley floor and 400 on hills. Lack of capital, agricu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
