Gardner River
The Gardner River (also known as the Gardiner River) is a tributary of the Yellowstone River, approximately long, in northwestern Wyoming and south central Montana in the United States. The entire river is located within Yellowstone National Park. It rises on the slope of Joseph Peak, Gallatin Range in the northwestern part of the park, and winds southeast through Gardner's Hole, a broad subalpine basin which is a popular trout fishing location. The Gardner falls within the Native Trout Conservation Area and anglers are allowed to take an unlimited number of brown and rainbow trout. Mountain whitefish and Yellowstone cutthroat trout must be released. Angling on the Gardner is governed by Yellowstone National Park fishing regulations. After merging with Panther Creek, Indian Creek and Obsidian Creek, it then turns north and flows through a steep canyon where it cuts through a basaltic flow from approximately 500,000 years ago known as Sheepeater Cliffs.

Gardner's Syndrome
Gardner's syndrome (also known as Gardner syndrome, familial polyposis of the colon, or familial colorectal polyposis) is a subtype of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Gardner syndrome is an autosomal dominant form of polyposis characterized by the presence of multiple polyps in the colon together with tumors outside the colon. The extracolonic tumors may include osteomas of the skull, thyroid cancer, epidermoid cysts, fibromas, as well as the occurrence of desmoid tumors in approximately 15% of affected individuals. Desmoid tumors are fibrous tumors that usually occur in the tissue covering the intestines and may be provoked by surgery to remove the colon. The countless polyps in the colon predispose to the development of colon cancer; if the colon is not removed, the chance of colon cancer is considered to be very significant. Polyps may also grow in the stomach, duodenum, spleen, kidneys, liver, mesentery, and small bowel. In a small number of cases, polyps have als ...

Gardner Gun
The Gardner gun was an early type of mechanical machine gun. It had one, two or five barrels, was fed from a vertical magazine or hopper and was operated by a crank. When the crank was turned, a feed arm positioned a cartridge in the breech, the bolt closed and the weapon fired. Turning the crank further opened the breechblock and extracted the spent case. Development The Gardner machine gun was invented in 1874 by William Gardner of Toledo, Ohio, formerly a captain in the Union Army during the American Civil War. After producing a prototype he went to the Pratt and Whitney company, who after a year of development produced a military version of the weapon. A demonstration to officers at the United States Navy yard in 1875 was successful, however they recommended that Pratt and Whitney continue with development of the system, incorporating improvements to the feed system, which were designed by E. G. Parkhurst, an engineer at Pratt and Whitney. The army attended the tests, bu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Garter Snake
Garter snake is the common name for small to medium-sized snakes belonging to the genus ''Thamnophis'' in the Family (biology), family Colubridae. They are native to North America, North and Central America, ranging from central Canada in the north to Costa Rica in the south. With about 35 recognized species and subspecies, garter snakes are highly variable in appearance; generally, they have large round eyes with rounded pupils, a slender build, keeled scales (appearing ‘raised’), and a pattern of longitudinal stripes that may or may not include spots (although some have no stripes at all). Certain subspecies have stripes of blue, yellow, or red, mixed with black tops and beige-tan underbelly markings. They also vary significantly in total length, from . With no real consensus on the classification of the species of ''Thamnophis'', disagreements between Taxonomy (biology), taxonomists and disputed sources (such as field guides) are common. One area of debate, for example, i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gardner (automobile)
Gardner was an automobile maker based in St. Louis, Missouri between 1920 and 1931. Without a dollar in his pocket, Russell E. Gardner left his home state of Tennessee for St. Louis in 1879. Three-and-a-half decades later he was a multi-millionaire. Gardner had made it big in St. Louis by manufacturing Banner buggies before the turn of the century, and unlike many wagon builders, was well aware of what the automobile age meant to his business. He got started by building new Chevrolet bodies and alongside his wagons. By 1915 this had led to the complete assembly of Chevrolets in St. Louis and Russell Gardner controlling all Chevrolet trade west of the Mississippi River. Gardner sold his Chevrolet business to General Motors after his three sons entered the Navy during World War I. After the war, his sons decided to build their own automobiles. The Gardner Motor Company was established with Russell E. Gardner, Sr. as chairman of the board, Russell E. Gardner, Jr. as president, an ...

Gardner (crater)
Gardner is a small Lunar craters, lunar impact crater in the northeast part of the Moon. It was named after an American physicist Irvine Clifton Gardner in 1976. It lies due east of the crater Vitruvius (crater), Vitruvius, in a section of rough terrain north of the Mare Tranquillitatis. Gardner was previously designated Vitruvius A before being given its present name by the International Astronomical Union, IAU. To the northeast of Gardner is the larger crater Maraldi (lunar crater), Maraldi. It is a circular crater with sloping inner walls and an interior floor that occupies about half the total crater diameter. The southern half of the floor has a slight rise before reaching the inner wall. The crater is not significantly eroded, and the outer rim is relatively sharp and well-defined. The most distinctive feature is a row of four rounded hills along the northern floor of the crater. To the south is an elevated area unofficially known as the ''Gardner Megadome''.''The Lamont ...

Gardner Inlet
Gardner Inlet () is a large, ice-filled inlet at the southwest side of Bowman Peninsula, on the east coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica. Location Gardner inlet is between the Lassiter Coast and the Orville Coast of the Weddell Sea to the east. It is at the southeast end of the base of the Antarctic Peninsula, which is defined as a line between Cape Adams at the mouth of the inlet and a point on the mainland coast south of Eklund Islands. It therefore lies on the boundary between Palmer Land to the north and Ellsworth Land to the south. Gardner Inlet is separated from Hansen Inlet to the southwest by Cape Schlossbach. Both inlets are ice-covered, and join the Ronne Ice Shelf on the coast. The Scaife Mountains are to the east of Gardner Inlet, separated from the Latady Mountains to the northeast by the Ketchum Glacier, which flows into the inlet from the west. The Strange Glacier joins the Ketchum Glacier from the north near its mouth in the inlet south of Mount Austin. The ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gardner Point
Gardner Point is a mountain summit in Flathead County, Montana. Description Gardner Point is located in the northwest corner of Glacier National Park. It is set in the Livingston Range, west of the Continental Divide and 1.5 mile (2.4 km) south of the Canada–United States border. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into Kintla Creek which is a tributary of the North Fork Flathead River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises over above the eastern end of Upper Kintla Lake in 0.6 mile (1 km). Access to the mountain is via the Boulder Pass Trail which traverses the west slope of the peak. The mountain's toponym was officially adopted on March 6, 1929, by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names. Climate Based on the Köppen climate classification, Gardner Point is located in a subarctic climate zone characterized by long, usually very cold winters, and short, cool to mild summers. Winter temperatures can drop below −10 °F ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gardner (surname)
Gardner is a surname of English, Scottish and Irish origin. Most sources say it is an occupational surname that comes from the word "gardener". Other sources claim that it is derived from the old English words ''gar-dyn'' meaning "warrior", "one who bears arms". In Ireland, the surname is an anglicized form of the Gaelic ''Mac'' ''Gairnéir''. Variants include Gardyner, Gardener, Gardenar, Gardinier, Gardiner, and Gardner; the last two are the most common today. There is a tradition held by some of the descendants of William Gardiner (son of Benoni), son of George of Newport, that William won his crest at Acre in 1191, by chopping through the shoulder of a Saracen who was about to kill Richard Coeur de Lion or Richard the Lionheart, hence the Saracen's head on the coat of arms.
