Vietnamese PEN Club
Vietnamese PEN Club (, ) is one of the 148 centers of PEN International. Founded in 1957, it is a multilingual society of South Vietnam-based writers, poets, artists, filmmakers, publishers, editors, translators, journalists, academics and politicians aimed at promoting literature and defending the freedom of expression in Vietnam. After April 30 sorrowful event, this association was re-established in the North America to continue reserving and developing Vietnamese literature in the context of drastic globalization. History Since the early 1950s, capital Saigon's literary and journalistic atmosphere has been very vibrant by an influence from the influx of war refugees whom came from the North and Central Vietnam. According to the researchs of Madame Thụy Khuê (RFI) and scholar Võ Phiến, Southern society quickly divided to many ideologies and even they fiercely debated in the press. So, in order to maintain discipline, responsibility and also avoid chaos, some old writers met and decided to form a literary organization. They temporarily consider the Self-Reliant Literary Association as the best reference model, but the social situation has so changed a lot that it is necessary to learn more from international organizations. Twenty years of love and loving life After the research International PEN's way of operation for a while, on August 17, 1957, group of senior writers had agreed establishing a syndication as Vietnamese PEN Club. They borrowed a small house of Free World Weekly at Nº 25 Võ-Tánh Street as their legal headquarter. It included Monsieus and Madames as : Đỗ Đức Thu, Vương Hồng Sển, Vi Huyền Đắc, Vũ Hoàng Chương, Lê Văn Siêu, Bùi Xuân Uyên, Lê Ngọc Trụ, Phạm Việt Tuyền, Lê Văn Tiến (Như Phong), Đái Đức Tuấn (TchyA), Thạch Trung Giả, Triều Đẩu, Xuân Nhã, Mộng Tuyết (Thất Tiểu Muội), Mai Xuyên, Nguyễn Hoạt (Hiếu Chân), Phạm Tăng, Thuần Phong, Hoàng Đình Lượng. Writer Nhất Linh was invited cordially as an advisor and honorary member. But October 21 of the same year, the Ministry of Home-Affairs just issued a decree as 111-BNV/NA/P5 to concede officially Vietnamese PEN Association. Right from the beginning, Vietnamese PEN Club took the initiative to establish an action committee for the integration into International PEN. At last, its committee was invited to the XXIXth Congress of International P.E.N. Club Tokyo from 1st to 9th September in 1957. Vietnamese delegation's included Đỗ Đức Thu, Đái Đức Tuấn, Phạm Việt Tuyền, Hoàng Định Lượng and Nguyễn Hoạt. The Congress had about 350 writers, poets and journalists whom represented 27 countries. September 02 at the session, the Congress enrolled officially two groups as Vietnam and Iceland. After the recognition from international and national resolutions, the Club had a headquarter change to Nº 157 Phan-Đình-Phùng Street. From autumn 1959, it changed again to 36/59 Cô-Bắc. Later from 1971, changing to 107 Đoàn-Thị-Điểm. It used a sign as "NHÓM BÚT-VIỆT, VIETNAM P.E.N. CLUB, Trung-tâm Việt-Nam của Tổ-chức Văn-bút Quốc-tế" (Vietnamese PEN Club, the Vietnamese Center of International PEN). April 1958, the Club has released weekly "Vietnamese PEN Yearbook" as its official media which consisted of Vietnamese, French, English versions. The most of its funds by a sponsor of the Asian Cultural Program. When the members reached 50 ones, the Club set up "đoàn Chèo Cổ" (Northern traditional theatre's group) by Vũ Huy Chấn, Nhất Linh and Trần Tuấn Khải, "ban Kịch" (Modern play's group) by Vi Huyền Đắc, Vũ Khắc Khoan and Vũ Hoàng Chương. Therefore, from the founding day to 1976 when the domestic Club had to dissolute because political situation was too dangerous, a number of Club's members may be 300. Grant us human love, grant us a life Vietnamese migration to United States began after the end of the Vietnam War in 1975, when boat people took to the sea and began fleeing Vietnam in all directions. Those who created a huge community in new country soon. In 1976, Vietnamese PEN Club was re-established in Maryland with old brand. However, members often called it as the Overseas Vietnamese PEN Center for easily distinction about its history. Club's members was among millions Vietnamese had been employed by the US government or were family members of former employees and were believed to be in danger of persecution or execution by the conquering North Vietnamese. Even after the North Vietnamese takeover, one million or more people were sent to re-education camps, often for more ten years, and the government attempted to destroy old Southern culture which was called as the "campaign to proscribe corrupt cultural products". Victims mainly include of military personnel, intellectuals, writers and artists, journalists ; except civil servants could qualify for parole. But in general, the situation for Southerners was very tragic. That was the beginning of a flood of refugees arriving monthly by boat in whole Southeast Asia. It precipitated a humanist and political crisis which was deeply reflected in Overseas Vietnamese literature and music during the 1980s. For dealling with the new situation, the Club have continuously reformed to survive. Today it remains one of the two largest cultural institutions in Overseas Vietnamese community. Culture Symbol The badge of Vietnamese PEN Club were first formally codified by regulations in 1957. That is a green shield, quartered by a red bordure. On a green background, there is a black pen which broken stabs a black sword. In which, green symbolizes the bamboo clusters or Vietnamese nations and red means the revolutionary movement. From 1976 to present, PEN Club used a badge as a pen on the notebook. Mission Vietnamese PEN Center's mission is to stimulate and maintain interest in Vietnamese written word, to foster a vital literary culture, and to defend freedom of expression domestically and internationally. Moreover, it has to produce a variety of events and original programming every year, including smaller staged readings, regular reading series, and large-scale special events for literary occasions.

Although boths never recognizeed each other yet, but according to researcher Vương Trí Nhàn's essays, from 1960 to 1975 Northern Association actively interacted with PEN Club in Delhi, Paris or even Jakarta at important international events. That's why Vương Trí Nhàn, Nguyễn Tuân and some others may be knew and read Thanh Tâm Tuyền, Dương Nghiễm Mậu, Phan Nhật Nam... right in Hanoi during the 1960s. Even by songstress Ái Vân's memoir, in early 1960s she listened gramophones from Út Trà Ôn, Thành Được, Út Bạch Lan, Phượng Liên, Lệ Thủy... when she went to Vietnam Writers' Association's office. Also Vương Trí Nhàn's essays that, during the Offensive or Fiery Summer, writers and reporters who followed the troops into Southern cities always seeked to buy Southern writers' books, especially Phan Nhật Nam. After the April 30 sorrowful event, the new regime immediately proceed a special and long "campaign" to demolished completely the Southern culture. Hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers, even intellectuals, writers and artists were summoned to re-education with the promise of a few days and then returned. However, it never happened. The domestic Vietnamese PEN Club was forced to dissolve. At the same time, many writers are accused as the "cultural rangers". Their books had been burnt on Saigonese streets, of course. Not to mention many writers and journalists had died in prison because their living conditions were extremely bad. So twenty years of Southern literature were never mentioned in Vietnamese after-1975 schoolbooks. There were only few Southern writers or poets whom still stayed in Vietnam started to get attention from after-2000 university professors. Examples as Bùi Giáng, Linh Phương, Dương Nghiễm Mậu, Du Tử Lê, Đái Đức Tuấn... Since the 2010s, censorship policy was so gradually loosened that many Vietnamese PEN Club's later members were just taken care and re-published. However in general, Northern conservatives and GenZ still called them as the "puppet ones", though they do not dare to deny the attractiveness from Old Southern literature and music.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duxhurst%20Industrial%20Farm%20Colony
Duxhurst Industrial Farm Colony
Duxhurst Industrial Farm Colony (renamed in 1922, Lady Henry Somerset Homes) was a British voluntary in-patient residential institution for the treatment and cure of habitual alcoholic women. It was founded in 1895 at Duxhurst, near Reigate, Surrey, England, by Lady Henry Somerset. The colony combined the work of a retreat, under the Act of 1879, with that of a reformatory for selected cases. The experience of this colony proved that "committed" cases are usually of a type so much inferior to the "voluntary" cases that it is impossible to maintain efficient control and secure good results when they are mixed. Early in 1903, however, owing to pressure from the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, the managers decided to admit selected cases committed under Section 1 of the Act for drunkenness and consequent neglect of children, the National Society undertaking to make full investigation respecting the moral character and general suitability of proposed cases. With regard to employment, Duxhurst made a successful attempt at the steady occupation of its inmates. All cleaning and laundry work necessary for the proper conduct of the colony was done by its patients, but in addition to this, some regular industries were provided, to the educational advantage of patients and to the financial advantage of the institution. Much importance was rightly directed to garden work, which occupied many inmates in open air and under glass; they helped in fruit culture and in the subsequent picking and despatch for market; they assisted in the care of bees and in the management of poultry, and they were employed in seed sorting and the like. Dairy work also provided occupation for others. But the most interesting part of the colony was the workroom with its spinning-wheels and hand looms. Here many different forms of textile fabrics were woven with fine finish. Rug-making was a special feature, and all sorts of delicate embroidery and fancy work was made for public sale. History Many years before its inception, the attention of the National British Women's Temperance Association (B.W.T.A.) was aroused to the fact of the alarming increase of inebriety among women. At one time in England, alcohol intoxication was punishable by imprisonment only. As it was considered by some to be too severe a penalty, various individuals attempted to remedy this arrangement by urging that drunkenness be prevented instead of punished. It was felt that the system of short penal sentences had the effect of sending inebriate women back to the life they had before. It was realised that they had to combat an issue that was not only moral but also physical, and that therefore, it was necessary to provide physical as well as moral remedies. After careful study of the subject, the B.W.T.A., under the leadership of their President, Lady Henry Somerset, lifelong friend of Frances Willard, started in 1895 at Duxhurst, in Surrey, an Industrial Farm Colony for Inebriates, on lines which they believed to be sound and scientific, and which they hoped would make a sort of object lesson for the State. Lady Somerset hoped to prove that there was a more reasonable and humane method of treatment. The success of the Colony, which was the first institution of its kind to be opened in England for women, was extremely rapid from the day of its inauguration, and the outcome of the experiment was largely responsible for the passage of the amendment to the Habitual Drunkards Act, which amendment provided for the commitment of alcoholics to private institutions. In 1897, the village could accommodate fewer than 50 patients. The year before, 3,000 applications for admission were refused. The majority of the patients were not criminals, but alcoholism had desolated their homes. Thought Duxhurst Farm Colony operated as an alcohol recovery home for several years, it was not licensed as a retreat until 1901, and, consequently, till that time, was not authorised to receive patients signing under the Act of 1879. In that year, this institution combined the work of a retreat under the Act of 1879 with that of a Reformatory for selected cases under the Act of 1898. Its main object was retreat work, for which it was specially adapted. The Reformatory section was added later, on the assumption that both classes could be received and treated in the same institution and thereby increase its value. When the Reformatory section was first started, it was opened for the reception of cases sent from London Courts under section 2 of the Act, the Managers reserving the right to select or refuse any case which they considered fit or unfit, as the evidence supplied by Courts appeared to indicate. But this means of selection proved futile; it was found that committed cases were of a type so much below what was anticipated, and were so inferior to the voluntary cases admitted as retreat inmates, that their presence interfered with the main work of the institution. The reception of such committals was therefore discontinued, with the result that at the end of 1902 none remained under detention. Early in 1903, however, owing to pressure from the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, the Managers were induced to start on other lines, and recommence their reformatory work by restricting admissions to cases committed under section 1 of the Act, for drunkenness and consequent neglect of children. The National Society undertook to make full enquiry as to the moral character and general suitability of proposed inmates before recommending their admission. This amended scheme worked well, and in its day, was the only instance where selection before admission proved in any way satisfactory. This was accounted for by the fact that the agents of the society had exceptional means of obtaining information concerning the private life and circumstances of individual inmates. Fifteen inmates were admitted to Duxhurst under these conditions during 1903, and none were discharged. The general circumstances under which they suffered detention were ideal in every respect, their life being made as home-like as possible. But it must be remembered, owing to the exceptional means by which these inmates were selected, that Duxhurst was dealing with the best of reformatory work, and was able to do, with mild measures, what proved impossible in other places where committals were indiscriminate in character. In 1922, it was decided to change the title of the Colony to "Lady Henry Somerset Homes", in memory of the founder. By 1926, it was estimated that approximately 70 per cent of the cures were permanent. This figure, however, included all of the cases received, such as the insane, those unfit for active treatment, and those received in a dying condition. Location and grounds Duxhurst was located about from Reigate railway station by road. The estate upon which the "Village" and farm stood was situated on a hill with a view across country. The "Village" contained work rooms, farm buildings, a hospital, and a church. There was a large dining and recreation hall, where entertainments and classes were held every evening. All meals but tea were taken in the dining room by the nurses and cottage patients. A number of one-storeyed thatched cottages were situated around a central green. The cottages formed three sides of a square, with gardens in the centre, and were built in picturesque English Gothic architectural style. The were artistically painted and decorated, inside and out, and had thatched roofs of rush. Each small dwelling was complete in itself, with kitchen, sitting rooms, and bedrooms, as well as a nurses' sitting-bedroom. The cottages were well built and simply furnished. The cost of each cottage was approximately £350 (), and each structure was named by or after the donor. Various branches of the B.W.T.A contributed funds for the construction of additional cottages. One of the brightest cottages was given by the sailors of the Royal Navy, called the Agnes Weston Royal Navy Cottage. Far up the road, in its own grounds, was the Manor House, which was opened for the reception of patients able to pay a larger fee. The surplus income derived from the higher fees charged for residence in this part of the retreat went far towards assisting the poorer patients received into the "Village". The gardens beyond the Manor House were managed by a professional woman gardener. Daily life In each cottage, six patients lived together under the charge of a nursing sister. They were carefully selected and grouped together, and lived quietly and naturally, not the ordinary life of an institution. The diet was good and plentiful. The duration of detention in the institution was usually for one year, as it has been proved that permanent cures could not be effected in much less than that time. There were three classes of patients treated at the Colony: those who come of their own volition and who were able to pay in part for their accommodations; those who are wealthy enough to bear all of their expenses and who were housed in separate cottages; those habitual inebriates who were committed to the Colony by the order of a magistrate under the provisions of the amendment to the Habitual Drunkards Act. The patients' daily work was carried on under medical advice in the open air. Flower and fruit raising in the open and under glass, seed growing, poultry and beekeeping, dairy work and fruit preserving, were carried on. The patients were paid for their work. All of the domestic work done in and around the cottages was handled by the patients. Looms were installed on which fancy aprons, linens, and woolen dress materials could be woven. Approximately 112 cases were handled during the first two years, 55 of which were discharged at the end of that time apparently cured. At the time of the death of Lady Henry Somerset (April, 1921) the Colony had grown considerably, and her project had accomplished remarkable results along the line of influencing the promotion of temperance and women’s work in England. Accompanying minors Babies were admitted with their mothers, and initially, a holiday home for children on the estate was a source of interest to the patients. In time, in order to care for the children of the inmates, one of the buildings was fitted up and was called the "Nest". In 1920, this was completely destroyed by fire, and, as the amount of insurance received was quite inadequate to cover the rebuilding, it was decided to turn the manor house into a new Nest. This reconstructed building remained as a memorial to the founder, Lady Henry Somerset, and to her sister, Adeline Marie Russell, Duchess of Bedford . The house stood in ample grounds, and a public elementary school was within the bounds of the Colony, at which the children, numbering about 50 in 1922, were taught.

William Dickson (MP)
Brigadier General William Dickson of Kilbucho (1748–1815) was an 18th/19th century commander of the British Army and Member of Parliament. Life He was born on 3 June 1748 the son of Rev David Dickson of Kilbucho (1709-1780) and his wife, Anne Gillon (1712-1783), daughter of Alexander Gillon of Wallhouse, Linlithgow. His father was a descendant of John Dickson of Hartrie, through whom he had inherited Kilbucho Castle. He joined the British Army as an ensign in the 4th Regiment of Foot in 1777, possibly seeing action in the American War of Independence. He was based in Saint Lucia in 1778 and on return to Britain was promoted to lieutenant in 1779. In 1782 he was promoted to the rank of Captain and joined the 42nd Regiment of Foot (Black Watch) returning to the war in America. In 1783 he was posted with his regiment in Nova Scotia. They only returned to Britain in 1789. He remained in the Black Watch for the rest of his Army career. He was promoted to Major in 1795 and a few months later to Lt Colonel. He served in the Egyptian Campaign against Napoleon. In 1804 he became Brigadier General. William had inherited Kilbucho Castle in 1780 and began a series of improvements to the gardens, following the fashion of the day. He extended and remodelled the castle, in the Georgian manner, renaming it Kilbucho Place. In 1802, while still serving in the army he stood as a candidate for Linlithgow Burghs, where his in-laws lived. He was backed by the Duke of Buccleuch in the campaign against the standing Whig MP Lord Stopford. He won the seat. He appears to have been in the Tory minority which supported Pitt in various wartime political debates (probably due to his military background). He held the seat of Linlithgow Burghs until November 1806 when he stood down without contesting the seat. In 1808 he was given the important position as Governor of Cork in the south of Ireland in place of Henry Skeffington, 3rd Earl of Massereene. He retired in 1811/2 and spent his final years in Edinburgh. Dickson died in Edinburgh on 18 May 1815. His brother John inherited Kilbucho but chose to sell the estate.

Woodson in 1911 when he was a sophomore at Harvard; they frequently discussed African American history and would go on to work on multiple projects together. After graduating from Harvard in 1914, Jackson took a job as Student YMCA Secretary, working under Jesse E. Moorland and Channing Heggie Tobias in Washington, D.C. The next year he was transferred to become Executive Secretary of the Wabash Avenue YMCA in Chicago. Jackson was part of an interracial group of community leaders who founded the Chicago branch of the National Urban League in 1916. Along with Carter Woodson, George Cleveland Hall, James E. Stamps, and William B. Hartgrove, Jackson founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History in September 1916; it would later change its name to the Association for the Study of African American Life and History. During the Chicago race riot of 1919, he set up emergency pay stations for Black workers, who were cut off from resources by the police and white rioters. In the fall of 1919, Jackson resigned from the Chicago YMCA and moved to New York City to become Educational Secretary of the National Urban League. He served in that position until 1921. He returned to Chicago in 1921. From 1921 to 1924, he was the assistant to the publisher of The Chicago Defender, the well-known African American newspaper. He became the general manager of the Defender in 1925. Jackson spent the rest of his career in business and real estate. He was the president-treasurer of the Manhasset, Plandome, and Montauk Building Corporation until his retirement in 1971. He served in many other organization leadership roles, including as director of the Chicago Council of Social Agencies and director of the Illinois League to Enforce Peace. From 1921 to 1936, he was the president of the trustees board of Provident Hospital and Training School, the first African-American-owned and operated hospital in the United States. He also served on the Board of Trustees for the Southside Boys Club Foundation and on the Executive Council of the Forty Club of Chicago. Personal life and death Jackson married Charlotte E. Walker in 1914. Together they had four children: Caroline Booth (born 1915), Alexander Louis Jackson III (born 1920), William Edward Jackson (born 1924), and Winslow Loring Jackson (born 1928). After Charlotte died in 1928, he married James Lenas Boone, who died in 1966. He married his third wife, Marie Poston, in 1968. In the 1940s, Jackson lived in the Bronzeville neighborhood at 4655 South Michigan Avenue. He died in Chicago on October 21, 1973.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comb%20grave
Comb grave
A comb grave is a type of grave that features two slabs of rock, sandstone or sheet metal that form an empty inverted v-shape, or comb, over the length of the grave. They are also referred to as tent graves, as the slabs of rock resemble a camping tent. Comb graves may also have triangular end stones or iron rods to support the slabs, and sometimes do not have a headstone nor an inscription. Origin The exact origin of comb graves is unknown. According to oral tradition, the graves were first built in the 1800s to deter grave robbers and to protect sunken graves from being exposed to the surface. It also may have been a purely stylistic choice that became popular in the region. The oldest comb graves were made in the 1820s, with the practice surviving in Overton County, Tennessee until the 1960s. Geography Comb graves are unique to the Southern United States and have been found in Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia. They are most often found in cemeteries along the Cumberland River in Tennessee, where the practice may have originated. There are an estimated 3,000 comb graves in the Highland Rim and Cumberland Plateau regions in Tennessee, with hundreds to the north near Kentucky and hundreds more spread around northern Arkansas, Alabama and Georgia.

Francisco Vinyals
Francisco Vinyals Bou (Barcelona, 10 December 1897 – April 1951) was a Spanish footballer who played as a winger with FC Barcelona for his intire career which spanned 12 years between 1914 and 1926. He was one of the first footballers to play for Barcelona for his entire career, and thus be part of the so-called one-club men group. Club career Born and raised in Barcelona, he began his career at his hometown club FC Barcelona, making his debut on 25 October 1914 against UE Sant Andreu in a Catalan championship match. Vinyals played for Barça for more than a decade, being a regular in the starting line-ups from the 1914–15 season until the 1924–25 season. He played a total of 103 official matches (15 in the Copa del Rey and 88 in the Catalan championship), netting 12 goals. In total, he played 349 unofficial matches. Vinyals was a member of the first golden generation of the club, which was coached by Jack Greenwell, and included Paulino Alcántara, Sagibarba, Félix Sesúmaga, Ricardo Zamora and Josep Samitier. Together with them, he helped Barça win 7 Catalan championships, along with five Copa del Rey finals in 1919, 1920, 1922, 1925 and 1926, winning the latter four, but oddly, the final in which Vinyals managed to score a goal was the one which they lost in 1919, ending in a 2–5 loss to Arenas de Getxo, courtesy of a hat-trick from Félix Sesúmaga. Vinyals was honored with a tributed match on 14 April 1918, which was held at the Camp de la Indústria when he was still an active player. Just over a year before, on 4 February 1917, fellow one-club Barça men Ramón Torralba had become the first player in the history of Barcelona to be granted a tributed match. He played his last match for Barça on 4 April 1926 against Real Zaragoza in the Copa del Rey, and so, on 19 June 1927, he was the subject of another tribute match together with Ramon Bruguera, this time in Les Corts. His brother Josep Vinyals also played for Barça but only in unofficial matches. Along with his brother, he was an outstanding long-distance runner.

Murders of Harry and Megan Tooze
The murders of Harry and Megan Tooze, also known as the Llanharry murders, were the high-profile killings of an elderly couple at their remote Ty Ar y Waun farm near Llanharry, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales on 26 July 1993. The couple were found to have been shot dead at point blank range with a shotgun in an execution-style killing, and their killer had attempted to hide their bodies in the cowshed of the farm. Their best china was found mysteriously laid out on the table in the farmhouse as if the couple were expecting a close guest, and their lunch was found cooked but not eaten on the stove. Described by the lead detective in charge of the case as "the most baffling he has ever tackled", the boyfriend of the couple's daughter was initially convicted of their murders in 1995. His fingerprint had been found on one of the teacups, despite him saying he had never used it, while his 'alibi' was found to not be supported by anyone and it was determined that he had killed the victims for their £150,000 life insurance payment as he was in financial difficulty. His conviction was subsequently quashed a year later, although to this day no-one has ever come forward to confirm Jones' alibi and there remains no proof of what he was doing that day. Subsequent attempts to solve the murders have failed to unearth any new suspects. The case remains one of Wales' most notorious unsolved murders. Background Elderly couple Harry and Megan Tooze lived together on a remote farm just north of Llanharry, south Wales. Harry was 64 at the time of the murders, while Megan was 67. Harry was well known in the community through his market garden business, although he had retired seven years previously, when the couple's only daughter had also moved away. Harry still spent time growing cabbages at his farm, but the pair were said to live an "uneventful" life. Around a year before the murders, in 1992, his shotgun which he used to shoot rabbits that were attempting to eat his cabbages was mysteriously stolen from the farm. Murders On the morning of the murders, Monday 26 July 1993, the pair left the farm and drove up the rural track towards Llanharry, where they collected their pensions. They then went food shopping at the local Tesco supermarket they had frequented almost every Monday for 15 years, and Harry bumped into one of his sisters, who did not notice anything unusual about her brother. A neighbour then said that they saw the pair arriving back at the farm by around 11:00 am. At around 1:30 pm, two shots were heard by neighbours at their farm, 30 seconds apart. The neighbours did not consider this unusual, since they knew Harry often used his own shotgun to shoot rabbits. Their daughter rang at 3:00 pm but there was no answer. That evening, when the daughter's nightly phone call again went unanswered, she alerted their neighbours and the police were eventually called. Harry and Megan were subsequently discovered dead in the cowshed on the farm, buried under hay. They had been shot with a shotgun at point blank range in an execution-style killing. There were no signs of a robbery. Inside the farmhouse, the table had been set for lunch and a teacup that was only ever used when there was an important visitor was on the table. The best china had been set out on the table, and the lunch was found cooked on the stove but not eaten. The crockery that had been set out was never used for everyday use. The circumstances made police believe that the Tooze's may well have known their killer. They considered that they may have stopped by unannounced, which might explain why the stove had been turned off and tea prepared. The indications were that the Tooze's had not themselves drunk from the teacup, with Megan's own favourite mug nearby and Harry's mug also on the table, pointing to there being a visitor at the farm that lunchtime. A white shirt of Harry's was found laid out on the bed, further indicating that he was expecting someone or going out somewhere smart. Initial investigation Initially a murder-suicide was considered, but this was quickly ruled out when drag marks believed to have been made from a body were found going from near the house to the shed. A forensic and ballistics analysis determined that Harry had been shot just inside the door of the cowshed, after which he was placed in a trough and covered with hay and tarpaulin sheets in order to conceal the body. Megan had been shot on the other side of the house, possibly near the corner of the kitchen, and it was theorised that she may have been trying to escape. Her body had then also been placed in the cowshed and covered with a carpet. The entrance to the cowshed was out of view to neighbours and a number of heavy tools kept in the doorway would have had to have been moved to get in, and it appeared they had later been moved back to their original position. Both the victims had each been shot once in the back of the head from two to three feet away. It was believed that the shots used were number 7 shot, but no cartridges were located. This was not the type of shot Harry would have ever used. No evidence would be found that suggested that the shotgun stolen from Harry a year before had been the one used in the murders. At first it was thought that the shooting might have been a professional hit, but ballistics experts then determined that it may only have been determination that was needed to carry out the killings successfully. The amount of blood and body tissue in the cowshed indicated that the killer would likely have been splattered with blood and body tissue, but no blood was found anywhere else on the farm. Because Harry's body showed evident hypostasis on the side he was not found lying on, it was concluded that he had been moved three to four hours after he had died. Megan's body showed hypostasis in a much smaller amount, possibly suggesting that she may have been killed some time after Harry. The murder weapon was not located, and the investigative team initially focused on the possibility that the couple had disturbed an intruder. However, there was no evidence of intrusion, and nothing had been stolen, with money and valuable jewellery left in the house untouched. Harry himself had £75 on him that was also left. On 28 September 1993, two months after the murders, a reconstruction and appeal was shown on Crimewatch, where it was asked that the unknown visitor to the farmhouse that day came forward to eliminate themselves. It was said that very few people had been found to have ever visited the couple at the farmhouse. An appeal was also made for any pedestrians or motorists who had been driving nearby to come forward, with the key M4 motorway that runs from England into south Wales passing through Llanharry. Any members of the public who knew what had happened to Harry's previously stolen shotgun were also asked to come forward. The lead detective on the case revealed that, despite extensive enquiries, no motive for the killings had been found, and said the case was "the most baffling he has ever tackled". Jonathan Jones emerges as a suspect At the time of the murders, the couple's daughter Cheryl lived with her boyfriend Jonathan Jones in Orpington, Kent. Megan Tooze was a devoted church-goer and both she and Harry had strong values, so when Cheryl had moved in with her boyfriend out of wedlock it was kept a secret from her parents. The parents were devastated when Cheryl moved away and eventually found out about Cheryl living with Jonathan before marriage, but did not tell their friends as they themselves disapproved. Jonathan was also from Wales and had been trying to make it as a recruitment consultant, but his attempts were failing and he instead decided that he would start his own marketing business. At the time of the murders, Cheryl and Jonathan were looking for an office to set up in Orpington. Police became suspicious of Jonathan when it emerged that he and Cheryl were encountering financial difficulties. They were falling behind on their house repayments and were about to loose their flat, although Jonathan kept this from Cheryl. Harry and Megan, meanwhile, had a £150,000 life insurance policy, and police believed that he may have killed them so he and Cheryl could inherit the vast sum of money. There was evidence that, a few days before the murders, Harry and Megan had visited a solicitor about a contested will. Numerous witnesses came forward to tell police about a man they had seen in the area in late June, walking along a road near the farm wearing a beige trench coat and dark sunglasses. Two witnesses described the man as wearing a hold-all bag, and as they drove past him he sheltered his face from them. One of the witnesses was so suspicious of him at the time that they had called the police and given a description of him, and he was then seen at a nearby train station. During the later murder investigation, one of these witnesses phoned police and said that she recognised Jonathan Jones as the man she had seen in June. Jonathan subsequently confirmed that he had been in the area that day, but claimed that he was with Harry hay baling after he had hitchhiked to Pontypridd for 200 miles from Kent. Police discovered that Jonathan did own a trench coat of the same description and many friends testified that they had seen him wearing it, but Jonathan and Cheryl claimed that he did not own it. Police began to believe that Jonathan had been the mysterious person who had stolen Harry's shotgun a year before the murders. Police discovered that Jones's fingerprint was on the teacup that was found on the table at the farmhouse, despite him and Cheryl saying that he had never used it. This was significant as it was said to support the theory that Jonathan had been the guest at the house that day, especially since he was a close associate of the Tooze's and a surprise visit from him might have necessitated the use of the good china. Apart from Harry and Megan's own fingerprints, only Jones's fingerprint was found on the items at the scene. Jonathan and Cheryl attempted to counter the police suspicions by claiming that he had an alibi, declaring that he had always planned to take that Monday off to look for new office premises in Orpington. He claimed that he left his flat on the day of the murder at 8:30 am and returned at around 1:00 or 1:30 pm, then left again at 3:00 pm for four and a half hours in the afternoon. However, after making enquiries around Orpington, police found no witnesses who could substantiate this alibi, and police felt Jonathan could effectively not account for his movements for 10 hours on that day. It was discovered that the return trip from Orpington to Llanharry and back would take a maximum of seven hours by car or train, therefore meaning that he had the time to commit the murders that day. Jonathan claimed that he had had a conversation with a lift engineer in the basement of his flat at around 1:30 pm, but the lift engineer and two others working that day said they had had no such conversation with him. They also said that they were out of the flat for lunch between 12:30 and 1:45 pm, the time period which Jonathan claimed to have spoken to them in the flat. Police were also suspicious of the alibi because Jonathan had not returned a video tape that was due back at a shop along the route he claimed to have walked that day, and because the exact time frame the experts suggested the murders took place were the exact times Jonathan stated he was at home and not out of the flat, suggesting he may have claimed this because he would have known that no one would have been able to confirm seeing him in Orpington around the time the murders happened. Cheryl would later tell the police that when she got home from work that evening Jonathan wasn't there, and that she could not tell whether he had been in the flat that day or not. When Cheryl had become concerned about her parents not answering the phone that evening she asked Jonathan to drive the 200 miles to Llanharry to check up on them, saying she did not go herself as she had to work the following morning. He set off between 10:00 and 11:00 pm that evening, and at 1:00 am he called Cheryl to say that he was still 66 miles short of the farm at Leigh Delamere services on the M4, and by then Cheryl had been told that police had broken into the farm. He did not arrive until 3:00 am, claiming that the weather had slowed him down, by which time the search of the property was underway and he was soon told by officers that the bodies had been found in the cowshed. Police said that he showed a "strange reaction" when informed of the murders. Police became suspicious that Jonathan's trip to check up on Harry and Megan had taken five hours, since this was far longer than the journey should have taken. The police questioned why Cheryl had decided not to go herself or join Jonathan on the drive, considering she was supposedly concerned about her parents and always said that she would be there to check up on them. After questioning both Jonathan and Cheryl, the police felt that they were both withholding and fabricating information and said that Cheryl had been dodging almost every question asked of her. The decision was made to arrest Jonathan two months after the murder. Trial Police charged Jones with the murders and he was brought to trial in 1995. The police theory was that he had caught the train from Orpington to Pontypridd that morning and surprised Harry and Megan while they were making their lunch, leading them to get out the good china and make tea. After the murders he would have returned on the train and arrived back at the flat at 7:30 pm as he said he had. Jones was depicted as a motivated and greedy son-in-law, intent on killing them for the will money which would secure him and Cheryl's future. It was the general consensus at the time that the jury could never find Jones guilty on the evidence presented, but the jury were largely convinced by his guilt and found him guilty of the murders. Appeal Cheryl Tooze said she was dismayed by the verdict and offered a £25,000 reward for information from the public that would support her boyfriend's alibi and prove him innocent. Her relations with her family members broke down as they were angry at her continued support for Jonathan. Jones decided to appeal on a number of grounds, including technical claims that the judge had misdirected the jury in his summing up. His team tried to find evidence to support his claim that he had spoken to lift engineers in the flat that day, although these individuals still maintained that he had not. To this day no-one has ever come forward to confirm Jones' alibi and there remains no proof of what he was doing that day. The Court of Appeal allowed the appeal on the legal grounds Jones's team presented, and although they considered ordering a re-trial they decided that this would be "inappropriate". Jones was freed and he and Cheryl embraced in a long kiss for the media outside of court, with Cheryl proudly declaring that the release of her boyfriend for the murder of her parents was "a victory for love and truth". After the appeal, Cheryl and Jones married. Subsequent investigations In 2000, with the murders legally unsolved, two reviews of the case were carried out, although the results of these have never been made public so as to not influence any potential future trial or re-trial. On the 10th anniversary of the murders in 2003 the police received an anonymous letter, the contents of which have never been published. An appeal was made for the letter writer to come forward and said that they believed that the letter was genuine. That year, after a new search, police also found shotgun cartridges in a flooded iron ore mine shaft on nearby land. They were in a black hold-all bag with red stitching, a zip and 'Team Dewa' written in gold lettering. Barrels of a shotgun were also found in a quarry near the farm. The investigation was re-opened and witness accounts of cars seen in the area at the time of the murders were also examined. In 2006 new witnesses came forward about the cars seen, but in 2008 South Wales Police said that all lines of inquiry had been exhausted and the investigation was scaled down. John Cooper investigated After serial killer burglar John Cooper's convictions in 2011 for the double shotgun murders of couples in Pembrokshire in the 1980s, it was revealed that detectives were investigating whether there was any "connectivity" between Cooper and the Tooze muders. Some similarities with Cooper's known murders were noted, including the fact that both victims were shot at close range and attempts were made to hide their bodies. Cooper always used a shotgun in his known crimes. It was also observed that there are very few double shotgun murders nationally, and that Cooper was already known to have committed two double shotgun murders. In 2011, the year Cooper was convicted, the Tooze case was subsequently re-examined by police, but no evidence was found to conclusively link him to the case. Jones' lawyer insisted that Cooper was a better suspect than Jones. Lasting notoriety The Tooze murders remain some of Wales' most notorious unsolved murders. The killing was particularly shocking to locals in the area, as it was a community that had only seen one reported break-in over the preceeding 60 years. The murder promoted fears at the time that a serial killer was at large. In 2009, the murders were investigated in a chapter of Vanessa Howard's book Britain's Ten Most Wanted: The Truth Behind The Most Shocking Unsolved Murders. In early 2021 the Tooze murders returned to the news after the airing of the The Pembrokeshire Murders series on ITV, which dramatized the investigation that led to serial killer John Cooper finally being apprehended. It was noted in several news outlets that he had once been linked to the Tooze murders. In April 2021, the murders were the subject of an official Crime+ Investigation podcast, as part of their podcast series spin-off from their documentary series Murdertown. The episode was titled The Llanharry Murders: South Wales.

Giacomo Badoer or Jacopo Badoer ( – 26 December 1537) was a merchant and administrator of the Republic of Venice. Badoer was born around 1457 to a certain Sebastiano. In 1476, he married Cristina Marcello di Piero. He served in the Venetian navy and as a merchant trading with Constantinople. In April 1496, Badoer was elected captain of a galley trading with Alexandria. He returned successfully in November. In 1499, he was named to the zonta of the Venetian Senate. In 1500–1501, he served as governor of Monopoli, in which position, Marino Sanuto records, he achieved a certain renown. He was afterwards elected one of the Dieci Savi alle Decime in charged of Venetian finances. In 1504, Badoer was elected bailo at Constantinople, but he declined in order to become a senator. On 27 October, the Major Council elected him consigliere (counsellor) of Cyprus, a position he held from early 1505 until November 1507. He returned to Venice and the senate in 1508. In June 1509, he was named provveditore of Corfù, but declined on account of ill health. In August 1510, he was named to a special commission of the Dieci Savi. In 1513, during the War of the League of Cambrai, Badoer was named lieutenant of the Patria del Friuli. He was responsible for coordinating the defence of the Patria from the Imperial army under Count Krsto Frankopan. on 30 December, Giovanni Vitturi was named provveditore generale with powers superior to Badoer's. On 12 February 1514, the decision was made to abandon Udine, Cividale and Cormons and fall back on Sacile and Osoppo. According to , Badoer was accused of cowardice and treason for this decision. The decision proved strategically correct, however, and Badoer returned to Udine on 31 May. He was back in Venice by 15 October. He laid the blame for Imperial successes on the sympathies of the Friulian populace. In 1518, Badoer was named to the Council of Ten. In 1521, he was elected to represent Castello in the Minor Council. In 1522, he was named lieutenant of Cyprus. He sat on the Minor Council again in 1525 and 1530. He died on 26 December 1537.

1956 Budapest earthquake
On 06:46:13 CET in 12 January 1956, a rather unusual earthquake measuring 5.8 on the moment magnitude scale struck just southeast of Budapest under Dunaharaszti at a depth of 15 km. The earthquake had a maximum European macroseismic intensity of VIII (Heavily damaging). The event was preceeded by 31 other weaker events. Widespread damage to homes and other structures were caused, 3 were killed and 48 were injured. The event was one of the strongest earthquakes to ever strike Hungary and was also the worse and most serious seismic disaster to strike the country in the century. Tectonic setting Hungary is located within the Pannonian Basin, which is a moderately seismically active basin. The occurrence of a magnitude 6 earthquake averages at 125 years while the occurrence of a magnitude 5 earthquake averages at 15 years. The majority of the landmass of Hungary is occupied by low-lying plains, which are covered by young Holocene fluvial and alluvial sediments with relatively high groundwater table. Therefore, the area is prone to liquefaction which also is proven by the fact that most large, historical quakes in the area had liquefaction. Seismic analysis shows that there is left lateral shear which creates ENE-WSW faults, right lateral shear creates WNW-ESE trending faults, E-W faults are generally reverse structures. This indicates that Hungary is generally dominated by strike-slip stresses, while slightly rotating and creating dip-slip faults. Impacts The impacts in terms of casualties were limited to only 2 dead, 48 injured which some were serious injuries. However there were a lot of structures damaged with some being destroyed. Geologic impacts As a result of the earthquake, a 3 cm wide surface crack was observed in Taksony. Mud craters with diameters reaching 4 cm were observed, which was caused by liquefaction, as well as the shallow dug wells that were filled with sand. In the hot springs of the Rudas Baths in Budapest, the water flow of the springs increased immediately after the quake, which it later settled to it's normal level. Damages The building damage from this event mostly occurred in Pest County, specifically in Szigetszentmiklós, Taksony and Dunaharaszti. However, serious damage was also reported in Budapest. 6 houses collapsed and several other buildings were damaged in that area. Electrical network of the city was also damaged. The overhead power lines of the Soroksár suburban railway malfunctioned relative to the electrical network. Some buildings of the Csepel Automobile Factory were damaged. 3,144 out of 3,500 buildings in Dunaharaszti were damaged or destroyed and were left inhabitable. Among the damaged buildings, a church in Taksony and the city council building in Dunaharaszti were seriously damaged. Over 50 tombstones in the same area were overturned. Related events Over the next few years, more earthquakes struck the nearby area of the 1956 event, including a 4.8 at Heves County in 2013, a 4.5 at Komárom-Esztergom County in 2011 and a 4.9 at Veszprém County in 1985.

NGC 2663
NGC 2663 NGC 2663 (also known as PGC 24590) is an elliptical galaxy with a gaseous disk located in the constellation Pyxis. It is 93 million light years away from Earth. It hosts a compact central radio source and previous studies suggested that it also contains an active galactic nucleus (AGN). Although it was detected in 1886 and many observations of this galaxy have been conducted since then, many of its properties still remain unknown. Discovery The galaxy was discovered on 8 February 1886 by Lewis A. Swift. Black Hole In August 2022, astronomers from the Western Sydney University discovered a black hole shooting a jet at almost the speed of light, with enormous energy. The beam length is expected to be spanning more than a million light years from end to end. The jet of matter was shooting out of NGC 2663 from a black hole at its center. The jet stream was about 50 times larger than the galaxy itself. At the time of discovery it was one of the biggest jets ever observed. The astronomers used the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation's (CSIRO) super-telescope the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder, which is a network of 36 linked radio dishes combined to form a single super telescope.

Polyzonium germanicum, also known as the Kentish pinhead or boring millipede is an arthropod within the family Polyzoniidae. Description Polyzonium germanicum is a distinctive looking millipede species with a very small triangular shaped head. P. germanicum can range from 5mm to 18mm in length. Unlike most millipedes this species hatches with 4 pairs of legs, opposed to the usual 3 pairs that most other millipede species hatch with. P. germanicum possesses a brownish orange body. P. germanicum possess ozadenes, however they are not present in the first 5 body segments of the organism. These ozadenes will secrete an irritant monoterpene substance to discourage predators. Habitat Polyzonium germanicum is a species associated with woodland habitats where it has been recorded to live in mixed deciduous and coniferous woodlands on chalk soils. The species has also been known to live in areas of mature coppices of Castanea sativa and Corylus avellana. Populations are highest in woodland and forest habitats containing coarse woody debris. In Slovakia P. germanicum has been recorded living in beech forests at 700–1100 meters above sea level. References Millipedes of Europe Animals described in 1837

Phi Psi (professional)
Phi Psi () is a professional fraternity in the field of textile arts and manufacturing engineering. History Phi Psi was established as a professional textiles fraternity on at the Philadelphia College of Textiles & Science, in Philadelphia, PA. Its five Founders were: Harold H. Hart Charles A. Kalenbach Henry W. Eddy Robert M. Baeny Paul Benninghoffen Established at the turn of the 20th Century, Phi Psi had three aims: to promote fellowship among men of textile colleges and universities with textile departments; to encourage high standards in textile work; and, to assist, by every honorable means, the advancement of its members. The fraternity quickly expanded to several Massachusetts textile schools, then the center of textile manufacturing in the US. Its Beta chapter was formed at Southeastern Massachusetts (at Dartmouth, MA), and Gamma chapter at Lowell Tech, just a year () after its national founding. The fraternity's first alumni chapter was established in in Boston, MA. The nation's textile industry center, previously in New England, shifted to the southern states. With this, chapters were opened in Georgia, North Carolina, Texas and Alabama. A total of ten collegiate chapters were formed, and twelve alumni chapters. Members from the Fraternity's Alpha chapter began a search for a national social fraternity to join. In what appears to be a friendly schism, a majority or all of its members formed a separate organization from Phi Psi, their original professional fraternity, on when they were accepted as the Pennsylvania Omicron chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon. Yet the Alpha chapter of Phi Psi continued independently on the campus, remaining active today. Chapter naming traditions may have diverged: the Gamma chapter at Lowell Tech may have inserted the Gamma from its name into its national name, calling itself the Phi Gamma Psi fraternity. Traditions and insignia Phi Psi's colors are black and gold. The fraternity flower is the Yellow Tea Rose. The official badge is described as a diamond-shaped emblem with a gold border and four perpendicular gold bars on a black face. The Greek letters and are in the center, rendered in gold. The quarterly publication is The Phi Psi Quarterly. Chapters Chapter information from Baird's Manual (20th), which at that time reported approximately 6,000 members. Apparently, some chapter names of the standard alphabetical order were not used. Active chapters noted in bold, inactive or merged chapters noted in italics.

Henry Addison (mayor)
Henry Addison (January 24, 1798 – January 3, 1870) was Mayor of Georgetown from 1845 to 1857, 1859 to January 1861 and from 1861 to 1867. Early life Henry Addison was born on January 24, 1798. He was from Maryland and came to Georgetown, Washington, D.C. at a young age. Career Addison was a hardware merchant. He owned a dry goods business on the corner of Bridge and High Streets in Washington, D.C. Addison served as Mayor of Georgetown from March 3, 1845 to March 2, 1857 and from March 4, 1861 to March 4, 1867. However, he served an additional incomplete term. The results of the election on February 28, 1859 were debated. The judges of the election found Richard R. Crawford had won, but the council after counting the votes found Addison had won. Addison was sworn in on March 9, 1959 and served until January 21, 1861. Crawford won the case R. R. Crawford vs. Henry Addison and served out the remainder of the two year term, from January 21, 1861 to March 3, 1861. In May and June 1853, legislation passed in Maryland and Georgetown to make a Metropolitan Railroad connecting the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad near Point of Rocks, Maryland to Georgetown. In June 1856, Addison vetoed a second installment of payments for the railroad, which effectively cancelled the project. During his time as mayor, Addison called for a discussion on retrocession, but opinion was divided. In 1867, Addison ran for mayor against Charles D. Welch, a Republican candidate. A Harper's Weekly cartoon by Thomas Nast depicted the Democratic ticket as the "White Man's ticket". Personal life Addison married and had six children. Addison died on January 3, 1870, at his home on the corner of Dunbarton and Montgomery Street. He was buried at Oak Hill Cemetery in Washington, D.C. Legacy Hyde-Addison Elementary School in Washington, D.C. was named after Addison and Anthony T. Hyde.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethyl%20trifluoroacetate
Ethyl trifluoroacetate
Ethyl trifluoroacetate is a chemical compound from the trifluoroacetate group. Production Ethyl trifluoroacetate can be obtained by reacting 2,4,6-tris-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3,5-triazine with ethanol in the presence of hydrochloric acid. The former, in turn, can be prepared by a two-step reaction starting from trichloroacetonitrile by reaction with hydrogen chloride and fluorination of the intermediate with antimony trifluoride. The compound can also be obtained by reacting trifluoroacetic acid or sodium trifluoroacetate with ethanol. Properties Ethyl trifluoroacetate is a colorless and odorless liquid that is sparingly soluble in water but miscible with chloroform and methanol. The compound exists in the gas phase in two more conformal forms. Use Ethyl trifluoroacetate is used as an intermediate in organic synthesis to prepare organic fluorine compounds such as 3-ethyl-1-methylimidazolium trifluoroacetate (EMITA). It is also used in the synthesis of various pharmaceutically active molecules and agricultural products, and is also useful for the preparation of trifluoroacetylated compounds. The trifluoroacetyl group is widely used as an amine protecting group in organic synthesis because it can be easily removed under mild conditions. References Trifluoromethyl compounds

2023 Nigerian Senate elections in Katsina State
The 2023 Nigerian Senate elections in Katsina State will be held on 25 February 2023, to elect the 3 federal Senators from Katsina State, one from each of the state's three senatorial districts. The elections will coincide with the 2023 presidential election, as well as other elections to the Senate and elections to the House of Representatives; with state elections being held two weeks later. Primaries were held between 4 April and 9 June 2022. Background In the previous Senate elections, only one incumbent senator was returned: in the North district, Ahmad Babba Kaita (APC) was re-elected but Umaru Ibrahim Kurfi (APC-Central) lost renomination and Abu Ibrahim (APC-South) retired. In the North district, Babba Kaita held his seat with 70% of the vote; both of the open seats were won by APC as Kabir Abdullahi Barkiya won the Central district with 72% and Bello Mandiya gained the South seat with 72% of the vote as well. These results were a part of a slight swing to the Katsina APC as most House of Representatives seats were won by the party, it won a majority in the House of Assembly, and Buhari won the state in the presidential election. Overview Summary Katsina Central The Katsina Central Senatorial District covers the local government areas of Batagarawa, Batsari, Charanchi, Dan Musa, Dutsin-Ma, Jibia, Kaita, Katsina, Kurfi, Rimi, and Safana. Incumbent Kabir Abdullahi Barkiya (APC) was elected with 72.4% of the vote in 2019. Abdullahi Barkiya sought re-election but lost renomination. Primary elections All Progressives Congress On the primary date, an indirect primary ended with the nomination of Abdul'aziz Musa Yar'adua—a retired Army colonel and brother of former President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua—emerging as the nominee by over former Senator Umaru Ibrahim Kurfi and incumbent Abdullahi Barkiya. People's Democratic Party The primary resulted in the nomination of Sirajo Aminu Makera—former General Manager of the Katsina Housing Authority—over Hamisu Gambo by a margin of 40%. Katsina North The Katsina North Senatorial District covers the local government areas of Baure, Bindawa, Daura, Dutsi, Nigeria, Ingawa, Kankia, Kusada, Mai'Adua, Mani, Mashi, Sandamu, and Zango. The incumbent Ahmad Babba Kaita (PDP) was re-elected with 70.3% of the vote in 2019 as a member of the APC; he defected to the PDP in April 2022. He is running for re-election. Primary elections All Progressives Congress The primary resulted in a sizable win for House of Representatives member for Zango/Baure Nasiru Sani over Mustapha Mahmud Kanti Bello—former Commissioner for Rural Development and son of former Senator Mahmud Kanti Bello. Sani won the majority of delegates' votes from every LGA except Ingawa and Mai'Adua, the delegates of both LGAs were won by Bello. People's Democratic Party About a month before the primary, incumbent Senator Babba Kaita left the APC and joined the PDP after weeks of speculation; observers noted the negative relationship between Babba Kaita and Governor Aminu Bello Masari as a key reason for the defection. On the primary date, the sole screened candidate—Babba Kaita—gained the nomination unopposed. After the process, Babba Kaita thanked the party for welcoming him and pledged to bring in development projects to the district. Katsina South The Katsina South Senatorial District covers the local government areas of Bakori, Dandume, Danja, Faskari, Funtua, Kafur, Kankara, Malumfashi, Matazu, Musawa, and Sabuwa. Incumbent Bello Mandiya (APC) was elected with 72.4% of the vote in 2019 and sought re-election but lost the APC nomination. Primary elections All Progressives Congress The primary ended in the nomination of Mohammed Muntari Dandutse—House of Representatives member for Funtua/Dandume—over incumbent Mandiya by a margin of 53%. People's Democratic Party The primary ended in the nomination of Shehu Garba Matazu—former House of Representatives member for Matazu/Musawa—over Sani Anani by a margin of 51%.

Boston Land and Manufacturing Company Store
The Boston Land and Manufacturing Company Store, also known as the Jim Brown Tavern, is a historic building at 1556 Boston Mills Road in Boston, Ohio. The store was built in 1835 for the Boston Land and Manufacturing Company, which used it as a general store and post office until 1904. The building's design includes elements of the Federal and Greek Revival styles. It features a gable front with a fanlight, a wraparound front porch, and Ionic pilasters. In 1905, the store was converted to a private house. It is currently a park store for Cuyahoga Valley National Park and a trailhead on the Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath Trail. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 11, 1979. Its nomination misidentified the building as the Jim Brown Tavern, an earlier building built nearby which is no longer standing. The building was also included in the Boston Mills Historic District, which corrected the earlier mistake during its nomination process.

The 9-11 Memorial Bridge (formerly known as the Saddle Rock Bridge and Udall's Bridge) is a bridge in the Incorporated Village of Saddle Rock in the Town of North Hempstead, in Nassau County, on Long Island, in New York, United States. Description The bridge was built in 1971 over Udall Mill Pond, connecting Bayview Avenue in Saddle Rock to West Shore Road in Kings Point, and replaced an older span. It is of a concrete arch design. It is long, and is owned and maintained by the Nassau County Department of Public Works. On September 11, 2001, due to the clear view of the World Trade Center from the bridge, many locals congregated on the bridge deck to witness the bombing of, the fire at, and subsequently, the collapse of, the Twin Towers. Shortly after the towers collapsed, locals held memorials on the bridge for those who lost their lives (including the deaths of several Great Neck area residents) and left patriotic and positive messages and drawings on it – both out of grief and mourning and out of patriotism and hope. Shortly afterwards, on December 27, 2001, the bridge was re-dedicated as the 9-11 Memorial Bridge at a ceremony led by officials from both the Incorporated Village of Saddle Rock and the County of Nassau. A plaque on the bridge honors those who lost their lives on, or as a result of, the terrorist attacks and commemorates the re-dedication of the bridge. In more recent times, the 9-11 Memorial Bridge continues to be the location of 9-11 memorial services held on Patriot Day. The bridge's New York State bridge identification number is 3300400.
