David Lindup

David Lindup (10 May 1928 – 7 January 1992) was an English composer, arranger and orchestrator best known for his collaborations with Johnny Dankworth and his library music (often for KPM).

He is similarly uncredited for his orchestration in musical films such as Scrooge and Goodbye, Mr. Chips.

David of Bulgaria

David (Bulgarian: Давид) (died 976) was a Bulgarian noble, brother of Emperor Samuel and eldest son of komes Nicholas. After the disastrous invasion of Rus' armies and the fall of North-eastern Bulgaria under Byzantine occupation in 971, he and his three younger brothers took the lead of the defence of the country. They executed their power together and each of them governed and defended a separate region. He ruled the southern-most parts of the realm from Prespa and Kastoria and was responsible for the defence the dangerous borders with Thessalonica and Thessaly. In 976 he participated in the major assault against the Byzantine Empire but was killed by vagrant Vlachs between Prespa and Kostur.

Another theory

However, there's also another version about David’s origin. David gains the title "comes" during his service in the Byzantine army which recruited many Armenians from the Eastern region of the empire. The 11th-century historian Stepanos Asoghik wrote that Samuel had one brother, and they were Armenians from the district Derjan. This version is supported by the historians Nicholas Adontz, Jordan Ivanov, and Samuil's Inscription where it’s said that Samuel’s brother is David. Also, the historians Yahya and Al Makin clearly distinguish the race of Samuel and David (the Comitopouli) from the one of Moses and Aaron (the royal race):

David, Chiriquí

David (Spanish pronunciation: [daˈβið]) officially San José de David is a city and corregimiento located in the west of Panama. It is the capital of the province of Chiriquí and has an estimated population of 144,858 inhabitants as confirmed in 2013. It is a relatively affluent city with a firmly established, dominant middle class and a very low unemployment and poverty index. The Pan-American Highway is a popular route to David.

The development of the banking sector, public construction works such as the expansion of the airport and the David-Boquete highway alongside the growth of commercial activity in the city have increased its prominence as one of the fastest growing regions in the country. The city is currently the economic center of the Chiriqui province and produces more than half the gross domestic product of the province, which totals 2.1 billion. It is known for being the third-largest city in the country both in population and by GDP and for being the largest city in Western Panama.

David (Bernini)

David is a life-size marble sculpture by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. The sculpture was one of many commissions to decorate the villa of Bernini's patron Cardinal Scipione Borghese – where it still resides today, as part of the Galleria Borghese It was completed in the course of seven months from 1623 to 1624.

The subject of the work is the biblical David, about to throw the stone that will bring down Goliath, which will allow David to behead him. Compared to earlier works on the same theme (notably the David of Michelangelo), the sculpture broke new ground in its implied movement and its psychological intensity.

Background

Between 1618 and 1625 Bernini was commissioned to undertake various sculptural work for the villa of one of his patrons, Cardinal Scipione Borghese. In 1623 – only yet 24 years old – he was working on the sculpture of Apollo and Daphne, when, for unknown reasons, he abandoned this project to start work on the David. According to records of payment, Bernini had started on the sculpture by mid–1623, and his contemporary biographer, Filippo Baldinucci, states that he finished it in seven months.

6349 Acapulco

6349 Acapulco, provisional designation 1995 CN₁, is a stony asteroid from the middle region of the asteroid belt, roughly 15 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 8 February 1995, by Japanese astronomer Masahiro Koishikawa at the Ayashi Station of the Sendai Astronomical Observatory in the Tōhoku region of Japan.

The S-type asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.3–3.0 AU once every 4 years and 4 months (1,590 days). Its orbit shows an eccentricity of 0.14 and is tilted by 11 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic. In 2010, a photometric light-curve analysis at the Palomar Transient Factory gave a rotation period of 7000437550000000000♠4.3755±0.0020 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.18 in magnitude. The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes an albedo of 0.10, which is an unusually low value for an asteroid classified as S-type.

The minor planet is named for the city of Acapulco, Mexico, a famous resort and well known as one of the three most beautiful ports in the world. Since 1973, Acapulco is the international sister city of Sendai, Japan, where the discovering observatory is located, and after which the minor planet 3133 Sendai is named. Hasekura Tsunenaga (1571–1622), the retainer of the famous Japanese feudal lord Date Masamune who founded the city of Sendai, made a stop at Acapulco after he crossed the Pacific Ocean on his way to Rome.
