critical players in the Montreal underworld as the gang to a large extent controls the supply of illegal drugs imported into Canada. In 1990, Matticks was convicted of a 1988 hijacking of a truck, for which he served 24 weekends in row in prison for. L'Affaire Matticks In April 1994, a Norwegian container ship, the Thor 1, docked in Montreal. Acting on an anonymous phone tip, the Sûreté du Québec searched the Thor 1 and discovered some 26.5 tons of hashish hidden within the ship in the precise location where the anonymous caller said it would be found. On the basis of the drugs seized from the Thor 1, Matticks was charged with conspiracy to import drugs in May 1994. The case against Matticks collapsed in the courtroom in 1995 when Mattick's lawyers established that the Sûreté du Québec had planted evidence, most notably documents written in French that were found in Mattick's house. Matticks had never attended school, spoke English as his first language, was illiterate, and was quite incapable of writing anything in either French or English. The fall-out from the Thor 1 affair was a royal commission headed by Justice Lawrence Poitras which criticized the Sûreté du Québec for routinely engaging in unprofessional actions such as planting evidence, threatening witnesses, and perjury. According to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) informer Dany Kane, the anonymous caller was Hells Angels Montreal chapter president Maurice Boucher who had also bribed the Sûreté du Québec detectives to plant the evidence, as this would be a "win-win" for him. If Matticks was convicted, he would eliminate a potential rival or if Mattick's lawyers would expose the planted evidence, the resulting backlash would bring disgrace and discredit upon the Sûreté du Québec. The scandal, known as L'Affaire Matticks, did much damage to the reputation of the Sûreté du Québec. Operation Springtime As part of an investigation into the Hells Angels, the police observed Boucher meeting Matticks on 25 May 1999 at his office at Viandes 3–1, an office complex owned by Matticks. On 2 December 1999, Boucher was again observed meeting Matticks at Viandes 3–1. On 10 October 2000, Mattick's business partner, Louis Elias Lekkes, was observed by the police picking up two boxes full of money from the Hells Angels and taking it to Viandes 3–1, and from there to Mattick's estate. On 16 November 2000, Lekkes was observed taking a bag with some $500, 000 in cash from the Hells Angels to Matticks's estate. On 7 December 2000, Matticks and Lekkes were observed meeting with Normand Robitaille of the Hells Angels' Nomad chapter at an Italian restaurant. Robitaille handed over to Matticks a briefcase. The Hells Angels in their records referred to Matticks as "Beef 1" and Lekkes as "Beef 2". According to the police, in the year 2000 Matticks oversaw the importation of eight shipments of drugs into Montreal totaling some 44 093 tons of hashish and 265 kilos of cocaine with a total street value of some $2 billion. Matticks and Lekkes preferred to use walkie-talkies instead of cellular phones, and Matticks was constantly on his guard for phone bugs. On 28 March 2001, Matticks was arrested as part of Operation Springtime, a crackdown aimed at the Hells Angels, but which also embraced him. As part of Operation Springtime, the police seized the records of the Hells Angels, which showed that Matticks was one of their main suppliers of drugs. At the time of Operation Springtime, the Hells Angels owned Matticks some $7 million accordingly to the records seized by the police. In Mattick's office at Viandes 3–1, the police found a refrigerator with a note-tag reading "Mom" (Boucher's nickname) and "Guy" together with two phone numbers. One number was for the cell phone number for Guy LePage, a former policeman turned chauffer for Boucher while another was for a pager registered in LePage's name. In Mattick's house, the police found some $6,200 U.S dollars in cash and $41,000 Canadian dollars in cash. After the arrests, Lekkes turned Crown's evidence in exchange for a lesser sentence. Lekkes tried to commit suicide on 16 July 2001 and the next day as he recovered decided to turn Crown's evidence. According to Lekkes, the West End Gang controlled the port of Montreal, which Matticks used for drug smuggling, selling drugs to the Rizzuto family, the Hells Angels and the Rock Machine. Lekkes testified that he started working for Matticks in 1995 in his meat-processing plant. Soon after, Lekkes was involved in stealing a shipment of Tommy Hilfiger clothing from Asia for Matticks at the port of Montreal, and he was also became involved in stealing chickens intended for Europe. Having gained Mattick's trust, Lekkes testified that he was sent to Colombia to make contact with the Cali Cartel. Lekkes signed a statement for the Crown stating that Matticks, who controlled the longshoreman's union at the Port of Montreal, had made profits of $22 million from smuggling drugs into the city and had sold | drugs to the Rizzuto family, the Hells Angels and the Rock Machine.

Lekkes signed a statement for the Crown stating that Matticks, who controlled the longshoreman's union at the Port of Montreal, had made profits of $22 million from smuggling drugs into the city and had sold the Angels at least 700 kilos of cocaine in the last two years. Lekkes testified: "From different series of importations, we would take a percentage of the product. The first one was 33 percent. That is what we could charge to bring in merchandise for either ourselves or the people who owned it...We had different people we sold to. Namely one was Norm Robitaille. He was a Hells Angel". On 6 August 2001, Matticks pleaded guilty to the drug charges in exchange for a lesser sentence. Matticks was sentenced to 12 years in prison. Lekkes later testified at other trials in 2002 and 2003 that he regularly took cardboard boxes containing about $500,000 in cash from the Hells Angels as payments to the West End Gang and that the chicken which Matticks was so generous in donating to Catholic charities at Thanksgiving and Christmas times were stolen from container ships meant to export the chickens to grocery stores in Europe. Inspired by Lekkes's example, John McLean, one of Mattick's lieutenants, agreed to turn Crown's evidence and to testify against Matticks's son, Donald, in exchange for an 8-year prison sentence. Lekkes received a 7-year prison sentence with the promise that he would receive a new identity and police protection for the rest of his life when he was released, and as a result Donald Matticks pleaded guilty in 2002 rather than face extradition to the United States, where he was wanted on charges of smuggling cocaine. At his sentencing hearing, Gerald Mattrick's own lawyer admitted that his client controlled the port of Montreal and would demand a cut of anything illegal coming in. During his time in prison, Matticks became a friend of Danny Wolfe, the imprisoned leader of the Indian Posse gang. As Matticks was illiterate while Wolfe was literate, the latter wrote and read letters for the former. Wolfe in a letter to his brother Richard wrote "Running the fucking shit yet he couldn't read or write". Matticks served as a mentor for Wolfe, recounting his youth in a working-class Montreal neighborhood and recalled how the West End Gang fought off the attempts by the |

the banks of the Lena River before the onset of winter, but a short summer frustrated his plans. From a barge Chekanovsky navigated the Lena River for a distance of about from Yakutsk to the mouth to the Eyekit river, its last major left tributary. He explored inland from the deep and wide lower course of the Eyekit, and then along the rocky and mountainous watershed area lying between the Lena and the Olenyok, descending along the Kelimyar river to the Olenyok. In this way he discovered a roughly long ridge. From the Kelimyar he traced the course of the Olenyok to its mouth. By the 26 August Chekanovsky saw the ocean from the top of Mount Karanchat. By the 18 September the expedition was already in Bulun, having safely travelled along the frozen Lena. Chekanovsky went across the mountains and tundra terrain by reindeer reaching Irkutsk on 20 December 1875. The mountain chain that Chekanovsky had discovered was later named Chekanovsky Ridge at the suggestion of Russian Arctic explorer Edward Toll.

in Stockholm. There he learned Swedish Sign Language and was the private student of teacher Johan Gerhard Holtz. Two years later, Malm returned home having studied a number of subjects, learning written Swedish to an "unusually" high level, and becoming the school's top student. He would later learn to read Finnish, German, and French. Malm found an early passion for education. He was appointed assistant teacher at the school in 1843, gaining his first experience as an educator. First schools for the deaf In 1845, Malm went to Porvoo. He began tutoring two deaf boys in Koivisto, David Fredrik Hirn and Sten Sirén in early 1846. Later that year, with the assistance and support of role model , son of the founder of the Manilla School, Malm opened a private school for the deaf, with his students being the first two students. The school was opened in his father's house at Kankurinkuja 5 and was the first school for the deaf in Finland. Malm knew there must be more potential deaf students, so he placed an advertisement for the school in the newspaper and later requested the Diocese of Porvoo to determine the number of deaf people in the country: 1,466, with 602 under the age of 20. In contrast to the oralism commonly used in deaf education at the time, his school focused primarily on sign language and written Swedish (see manualism). Lessons were initially taught in what would be the beginnings of Finnish Sign Language. The school, being private, charged parents tuition. This was an obstacle for poor families, particularly since the Manilla School no longer accepted students from Finland. Malm fought for more support and his efforts were noted by Johan Vilhelm Snellman in the Swedish-language newspaper Saima. The school eventually attracted influential patrons, including priest and poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg and bishop and pioneering educator of the deaf Carl Henrik Alopaeus, who initiated a fundraising campaign for its benefit. After ten years of operation, the school received state support through a personal grant to Malm from the emperor. In 1859, it was taken over by the state. In 1858, the state planned to establish a school for the deaf in Turku, a more convenient location and home to more deaf people. Malm, Alopaeus, and some students followed; the school opened in 1860 with 22 students. Malm worked there as a teacher; both his brother Gustaf Emil Malm and Alopaeus applied for the role of headmaster and Alopaeus was chosen. As a priest, he could provide religious education at the school as well. Alopaeus also had "perfect speech and hearing", | Swedish (see manualism).

Alopaeus also had "perfect speech and hearing", a requirement which disqualified and marginalized Malm and which he struggled with. The Turku school for the deaf was noted in an 1868 report by the United States Secretary of the Interior, who remarked on the focus on instruction in sign language and written text, unusual at the time. (These methods were to remain until the 1892 decree mandating oralism and lip reading.) It was also noted that education for the deaf existed in Finland for some time before such education was available in Washington, D.C. The deaf school in Porvoo, the only one in Swedish-speaking Finland, was eventually closed in 1993 due to a lack of students. Influence His pioneering work in deaf education helped lead to the founding of a Swedish-language school for the deaf in Jakobstad by Henrik and Anna Heikel in 1861 and a Finnish-language school in Kuopio in 1862. As these separate-language schools were founded, the sign languages diverged into Finnish Sign Language and Finland-Swedish Sign Language. Philanthropy Malm and his brother Gustaf Emil's philanthropic mindset led them to found a people's library in Turku. Malm had an interest in photography and planned to open a photo studio in the |

out their activities, stroll or stay. However, the areas of low vitality repel people and can be perceived as unsafe. The urban vitality index is a measure of this quality and in recent years it has become a fundamental tool for planning urban policies, especially for the intervention of spaces with low vitality. In addition, it is used for proper management of spaces with high vitality, as the success of certain areas can lead to processes of gentrification and touristification that, paradoxically, end up reducing the vitality that made them popular. The concept of urban vitality is based on the contributions of Jane Jacobs, especially those of her most influential work, The Death and Life of Great American Cities. Jacobs criticized in the 1960s the modern and rationalist architecture defended by Robert Moses or Le Corbusier whose protagonist was the private car. She argued that these types of urban planning overlooked and oversimplified the complexity of human life in diverse communities. She opposed large-scale urban renewal programs that affected entire neighborhoods and built freeways through inner cities. Instead, she advocated for dense mixed-use development and walkable streets, with “eyes on the street” of passers-by helping to maintain public order. Currently, the concept of urban vitality is revaluing Mediterranean urbanism and its history, in which public space, | revaluing Mediterranean urbanism and its history, in which public space, pedestrianity and squares are of great importance as centers of interaction and social cohesion, in opposition to the Anglo-Saxon urbanism of large urban infrastructures, long distances and car-centric.

Among them are: Diversity of uses of the space that can attract different types of people for diverse activities and at various times, making the space constantly occupied, improving its security. Opportunities for personal contact with blocks, buildings and open spaces that are not too large, as they reduce the number of possible intersections and social interactions.

bring the complex back into use for the local community. In 2006 the Cities Growth Fund granted the Maryhill Burgh Halls Trust £1.1 million. This funding allowed the Trust to carry out various preliminary tasks pertaining the restoration of Maryhill Burgh Halls including the necessary design and planning application work. The restoration of Maryhill Burgh Halls took place between 2008 and 2011. Stonework and masonry repairs in order to secure the stability of the structure took place in 2008. Funding for the remaining restoration and development work was secured in Autumn 2009 after five years of campaigning by the Trust. A total of £9.2 million funding for the restoration and development of the halls was secured. In November 2009 transfer of ownership of the halls, the police station, and the fire station from Glasgow City Council to the Maryhill Burgh Halls Trust took place. The main restoration and development work on the parts of the complex under the stewardship of the Maryhill Burgh Hall Trust also started in November 2009. This work was completed in November 2011, and the halls re-opened in April 2012. The main funding sources for the restoration and development of Maryhill Burgh Halls are: Scottish Government City Growth Fund Phases 1 and 2, The Heritage Lottery Fund, Big Lottery (Growing Community Assets), The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), Glasgow City Council Better Glasgow Fund, Glasgow City Council Vacant and Derelict Land Fund, Scottish Government Town Centre Regeneration Fund, Historic Scotland, Scottish Government Wider Role Fund, and Robertson Trust. The baths remained under the ownership of Glasgow City Council. A separate project was undertaken by Glasgow City Council to convert the former baths into a modern leisure centre for the community of Maryhill. The leisure centre was opened in April 2010 and makes available a 25m swimming pool, sauna, gym, sports hall, dance studio, and other facilities for community use. Maryhill Burgh Halls Trust Maryhill Burgh Halls is owned and run by the Maryhill Burgh Halls Trust. The Maryhill Burgh Halls Trust was established in November 2004. It is a partnership between local residents, Cube and Maryhill Housing Associations, Glasgow City Council, Elected Members, and officers of local organisations. Members of the public can apply to join Maryhill Burgh Halls Trust. It currently has 180 members. Maryhill Burgh Halls Trust has a few waged members of staff and a number of volunteers who are involved in its day to day running. The Trust also sub-contracts a number of building management roles and office marketing. The Board of the Trust has fifteen members. The fifteen members include ten members of the public who are local residents or who work in the local area and have been or are active in Community Development Work in the area over a number of years. These ten members of the Board of the Trust are elected on to it by the members of Maryhill Burgh Halls Trust at the Annual General Meeting. The remainder of the Board consists of two co-opted individuals and experienced members of staff of Cube Housing Association, Maryhill Housing association, and Glasgow City Council. The Stained Glass Windows When Maryhill Burgh Halls first opened they contained twenty specially commissioned stained glass windows. These were removed from the halls in 1963 and were stored in the collection of Glasgow Museums. The panels were then restored through a process of cleaning, repairing, and reframing. Today, the Maryhill Burgh Halls has eleven of these panels on display along with ten specially commissioned glass panels that were produced around 2015. The Historic Stained Glass Windows The stained glass windows that were on display in the Maryhill Burgh Halls when it first opened were produced by the Glasgow studio Adam and Small. Adam and Small was founded by Stephen Adam, who was born in the vicinity of Edinburgh in 1847 and was of international renown in the field of stained-glass design and production. He had the author Robert Louis Stevenson as a school classmate and started as an apprentice of James Ballantine of Edinburgh. The panels depict ordinary people, dressed in their ordinary work clothing, carrying out various trades that could be found practiced in the Maryhill area during the period. This makes the panels unique, for at the time religion was the main theme depicted by stained glass artists. In other stained glass panels of the period where workers are depicted, they are usually depicted in classical, biblical, or medieval clothing, poses, and settings. The author Michael Donnelly writes that the commission for Maryhill Burgh Halls was ‘…one of the most important commissions…’ of Stephen Adam’s career. The author Ian R Mitchell describes the stained glass panels as of ‘world-historic’ importance for being ‘…one of the largest and most realistic collection of portraits of labour produced in two centuries.’ The titles of the glass panels in alphabetical order are: The Blacksmiths, The Boatbuilder, The Bricklayers, The Calico Printers, The Canal Boatman, The Chemical Workers, The Dye Press Worker, The Engineers, The Glassblower, The Iron Moulders, The Joiners, The Linen Bleachers, The Papermaker, The Railway Men, The Sawyer, The Soldiers, The Teacher, The Wheelwrights, and The Zinc Spelters. Due to a dearth of accounts or photographs of the historic glass panels as they were originally on display in the halls, it is currently unknown in what order they were initially displayed. Eleven of the historic stained glass windows are now on display in Maryhill Burgh Halls. Ten of them can be found mounted in the main hall, and The Canal Boatman is on display at the main entrance to the building. The Modern Stained Glass Windows In order to contribute to the lasting legacy of the Maryhill Burgh Halls restoration project, ten new stained glass windows were commissioned. The ten stained glass windows were produced by the Scottish artists Alec Galloway and Margo Winning. The themes for the modern stained glass windows were chosen to reflect themes of importance for the community of Maryhill today. The themes were chosen from suggestions gathered from over two hundred of members of the community. The suggestion were taken over a period of several months at a series of workshops, visits, and talks. The final themes chosen were: culture, diversity, education, heavy trades, regeneration, social heritage, space age, sport and leisure, workers, and youth. After approval of the final designs, each panel was built at Alec Galloway’s workshop in Greenock. The titles of the panels are: Art-Beat, Down Maryhill Road, Playing the Game, Global Village, Knowledge, Going Out, Burning Spirit, Made in Maryhill, Touching the Stars, and Yesterday and Today. It is claimed that due to the inclusion of an active QR code on the ‘Touching the Stars’ panel, this makes it the world’s first ‘interactive stained glass panel’. The Courtyard Entrance Gates The entrance to the Maryhill Leisure Centre and Maryhill Burgh Halls share a common courtyard. This courtyard used to be the site of the fire station. The fire station included a three storey tenement above four stone archways. The archways remain today and form the entrance to the courtyard. In order to connect its current use to what was there in the past, the well known Scottish sculptor Andy Scott (The Kelpies in Falkirk are amongst Andy Scott’s other creations) was commissioned to produce four metal gates to fill in the archways. The metal gates feature firemen in period uniforms along with period equipment and engines. Maryhill Museum Maryhill Burgh Halls Trust is committed to collecting and making accessible the history of the Burgh Halls and Maryhill area. For this purpose a permanent museum has been created inside the Halls. The museum is a place to share the Halls’ local history collection and offers opportunities for community displays. Locals are encouraged to share their memories of Maryhill as well as learn about the history of the area. Through this, the Burgh Halls hopes to advance local access to arts, heritage and culture, and engage with the local and wider community to safeguard and celebrate a shared history.

The police station and fire station remained in use up until the 1970s, however the complex fell into disuse and disrepair over the course of the remainder of the 20th century and plans for its demolition were proposed. Pressure from the local community led to the restoration of Maryhill Burgh Halls and it being purposed once again as a community resource. The Maryhill Burgh Halls now provides for the community office spaces, a museum and exhibition space, and halls that can be used for the hosting of events of various kinds.

Kegworth, Lockington-Hemington and Long Whatton and Diseworth, all of which are in the district of North West Leicestershire and the county of Leicestershire. History In 2011, the UK government announced a policy to encourage the development of strategic rail freight interchanges in order to support longer-term development of efficient rail freight distribution logistics. Such SRFIs would be key components in national and international networks, facilitating links between UK regions and the European Union. Plans for the development of a strategic rail freight interchange at East Midlands Gateway were first submitted in 2014, and planning hearings commenced the following year. There were local objections to the proposal leading to the formation of the "J24 Action Group". The main reason for the objections was that the site was green countryside and that other brownfield sites were available. Indeed there was support for what was seen as the positive environmental impact of moving freight from road to rail if it adopted such a site. The objections included a petition to the then Secretary | 000 TEU of shipping containers.

in Devon. Fitzcount remained loyal to John during the First Barons' War of 1215–17. He was one of a group of loyal barons that secured the south-west of England for the king. During the war Fitzcount was appointed High Sheriff of Cornwall on 17 September 1215. The king replaced him on 16 November 1215 with Robert de Cardinan as Fitzcount had assumed the title of Earl of Cornwall, without the permission of the king who planned to grant it to his son Richard. The king later reconciled with Fitzcount and in the 17th year of his rule (circa 1216), he was granted permission to farm all of Cornwall, until such time as the "Realm should be at Peace and the King is satisfied whether he ought to hold it as Part of his Inheritance, or as a Desmesne of the Crown". The grant is thought to have been made with the intention that Fitzcount would hold the land in trust for Richard. At the same time, he was awarded the holding of Launceston, Cornwall including its castle. After Henry III succeeded John, Fitzcount received a further grant of the entire county including all demesnes. He was reappointed as high sheriff on 7 February 1217 by Henry III in recognition of | Henry Fitzcount (died 1222) was an English nobleman. He was the illegitimate son of Reginald de Dunstanville, 1st Earl of Cornwall. Dunstanville died with no legitimate heir and his earldom reverted to the crown upon his 1175 death. Fitzcount afterwards received several grants of land in Devon and Cornwall. A loyalist during the First Barons' War of 1215–17, he was appointed Sheriff of Cornwall in 1215. Fitzcount was stripped of the post within two months as he had assumed the title of Earl without the king's permission. John and Fitzcount reconciled and he was reappointed as sheriff in 1216, being also granted farming rights across the whole of Cornwall. The grant of Cornwall was confirmed by John's successor Henry III but Fitzcount also incurred his displeasure and the county was taken into possession of the Crown in 1220. Fitzcount joined the Fifth Crusade around 1221 and died on that expedition in 1222. Biography Henry Fitzcount was the illegitimate son of Reginald de Dunstanville, 1st Earl of Cornwall who was, in turn, an illegitimate son of King Henry I of England. Fitzcount's surname refers to his descent from the Earl, who administered the county of Cornwall. Dunstanville died without a legitimate heir in 1175 and his holdings in Cornwall, and the title of Earl, reverted to the Crown. Fitzcount was granted the manors of Kingskerswell and Diptford in Devon and Liskeard in Cornwall by an 1194 charter of Richard I of England. In 1206, Fitzcount provided two ships to Richard's successor John in a cancelled expedition to recover Normandy from the French.

Clark enrolled in Mount St. Mary's University in Emmitsburg, Maryland. He then taught mathematics, chemistry, and natural philosophy at St. Mary's Seminary and University in Baltimore from 1837 to 1844. Clark entered the Society of Jesus on August 14, 1844, becoming the first graduate of West Point to do so. He eventually attained the rank of in the order, indicating that he had passed the at the end of his Jesuit formation and had professed all four vows of the Jesuit order.

Until then, Holy Cross conferred degrees under Georgetown University's charter. On April 24, 1865, Georgetown transferred ownership of the Holy Cross' land and buildings to the newly chartered college. Some people criticized Clark for people being overly strict and granting the Jesuit scholastics too few liberties. Beginning in 1863, Jesuit scholastics began making formal complaints to the provincial superior, Angelo Paresce, about Clark's leadership. By 1866, complaints about Clark had become frequent, and the Jesuit Superior General, Peter Jan Beckx, informed Clark that he would be removed as president in the middle of the academic year.

were retained in the final released track. Critical reception Writing for Uproxx Caitlin White notes the pop-punk guitar, some glittering synths, and heavy percussion elevate the song sad girl anthem into actual anthem. Carolyn Droke of Uproxx also notes that the song solidifies McRae's pop star status. Jon Caramanica of The New York Times remarks that McRae's "dry, wiry voice is well suited to the convincingly mopey and skittish punk-pop thumper about envy". Notion notes that McRae showcases her moving storytelling abilities on the track. Music Review site, Thomas Bleach describes the song as ridiculously catchy, angsty, and an anthem with an electric energy, stating that McRae captures a euphoric catharsis which radiates through the bouncy hook, and the song will have you "ready to run around in a mosh pit while passionately screaming out every word". Music video The music video for the song was released on February 11, 2022 and is inspired by the film A Chorus Line based on the 1975 stage production of the same name. The creative concept for the video was done by McRae and Michelle Dawley. The video features McRae and a group of dancers competing for a role at an audition, with McRae fixating on dancer Bailey Sok, as her main competition. The two battle throughout the audition, making it to the final cut, but ultimately lose out due to their over-competitiveness. Caitlin White of Uproxx remarks that McRae and her rival, along with a colorful ensemble of other dancers, face off on the stage, dancing their way through choreography that mimics the song’s chaotic energy. Commercial performance The song debuted in the top ten in Ireland, Singapore and Norway, entering just outside the top ten at 11 in Canada. The song also debuted in the top 40 in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, New Zealand and the UK. In the US, the song debuted at 52, becoming McRae's highest debut and fourth charting song. Live performances The song was performed live from Los Angeles on February 24 2022 for 'SetTheStage', a brand campaign with Sony featuring 360 Reality Audio, production diaries and unreleased behind-the-scenes content shot with Sony's flagship digital cinema camera — the VENICE 2 and FX9 full-frame cameras.

the city was once again a centre of trade and learning, and profited greatly from the Pax Mongolica. Background On the eve of the Mongol invasion, Yaqut al-Hamawi's geographical survey described Bukhara as 'among the greatest cities of Central Asia'. With a population of around 300,000 and a library of 45,000 books, the city rivalled Baghdad as a centre of learning and culture. The Po-i-Kalyan mosque, which had originally been commissioned in 1121, was one of the largest in the world, and it contained the Kalyan minaret. The city was guarded by the Ark of Bukhara, a fortress established in the fifth century which served as a citadel, while the farmlands were expertly and extensively irrigated with water from the River Zeravshan. The city had been long been under the rule of the Qarakhanids, who had historically controlled many of the richest cities in the area, such as Samarkand, Tashkent and Fergana. Nominally vassals of the Qara-Khitai khanate, the Qarakhanids were allowed to operate almost autonomously, due to their large population and territory; by 1215, they had been subjugated by the Khwarazmians, also former vassals of the Qara-Khitai, who had expanded from Gurganj into the power vacuum left by the collapsing Seljuk Empire. In 1218, Khwarazmshah Muhammad II was Sultan of Hamadan, Iran and Khorasan, and had established dominion over the Ghurids and the Eldiguzids. The Khwarazmian Empire had usurped the Qara-Khitai, which had already been destabilised by refugees fleeing the conquests of Genghis Khan, who had begun to establish hegemony over the Mongol tribes. Following the defeat of their shared enemy, the Naiman prince Kuchlug, relations between the Mongols and the Khwarazmids were initially strong; however, the Shah soon grew apprehensive regarding his new eastern neigbour. The chronicler al-Nasawi attributes this change in attitude to the memory of an unintended earlier encounter with Mongol troops, whose speed and mobility frightened the Shah. In 1218, the Shah allowed Inalchuq, the governor of Otrar, to arrest an entire Mongol trade caravan, and to seize its goods; Genghis, seeking a diplomatic resolution, sent three envoys to Urgench, whom Muhammad humiliated, publicly executing one. Outraged, Genghis left his war against the Jin, leaving only a minimal force behind, and rode westwards with a great part of his army. Prelude There are conflicting reports as to the size of the total Mongol invasion force — estimates have ranged from as few as 75,000 to as many as 700,000, although anything over 200,000 is considered an exaggeration by modern historians. The uncertainty is made worse by the high flexibility and efficiency of the Mongol force's operational structure, allowing it to separate and coalesce at will. The Mongol forces arrived in Khwarazm in waves: first, a vanguard led by Jochi and Jebe crossed the treacherous Tien Shan passes, and started laying waste to the towns of the eastern Fergana Valley; then, another army led by Chagatai and Ogedai descended onto Otrar and besieged it. Genghis soon arrived with his youngest son Tolui, and he then split the invasion force into four divisions: while Chagatai and Ogedai were to remain besieging Otrar, Jochi was to head northwest in the direction of Urgench, and a minor force was sent to take Khujand, but Genghis himself took Tolui and around half the army — between 30,000 and 50,000 men — and headed westwards. The Khwarazmshah faced many problems. His empire was vast and newly formed, with a still-developing administration. In addition, his mother Terken Khatun still wielded substantial power in the realm - one historian termed the relationship between the Shah and his mother as 'an uneasy diarchy', which often acted to Muhammad's disadvantage. The Shah also distrusted most of his commanders, with the only exception being his eldest son and heir Jalal al-Din, whose military acumen had been critical at the Irgiz River the previous year. If he had sought open battle, as many of his commanders wished, he would certainly have been greatly outmatched in quantity of troops, let alone quality. The Shah thus made the decision to distribute his forces as garrison troops inside his most important towns, such as Samarkand, Merv and Nishapur. Since it was supposedly far from the theatre of war, Bukhara was allotted relatively few troops. The inhabitants, and the Shah, were thus horrified to | was Sultan of Hamadan, Iran and Khorasan, and had established dominion over the Ghurids and the Eldiguzids.

The Khwarazmshah faced many problems. His empire was vast and newly formed, with a still-developing administration. In addition, his mother Terken Khatun still wielded substantial power in the realm - one historian termed the relationship between the Shah and his mother as 'an uneasy diarchy', which often acted to Muhammad's disadvantage. The Shah also distrusted most of his commanders, with the only exception being his eldest son and heir Jalal al-Din, whose military acumen had been critical at the Irgiz River the previous year. If he had sought open battle, as many of his commanders wished, he would certainly have been greatly outmatched in quantity of troops, let alone quality. The Shah thus made the decision to distribute his forces as garrison troops inside his most important towns, such as Samarkand, Merv and Nishapur. Since it was supposedly far from the theatre of war, Bukhara was allotted relatively few troops. The inhabitants, and the Shah, were thus horrified to see the Khan's army appear in front of the city, having crossed of the trackless Kyzyl Kum desert, previously thought impassable by a major force; this expedition has been lauded by some historians as one of the greatest manoeuvres in history. The Khan and his commanders, having deduced the Shah's strategy, had |

According to the 2011 census, it has 582 inhabitants. Marpissa has been characterised as a traditional settlement.

The castle was expanded in circa 1500 by Niccolo Sommaripa, who moved the capital of the island from Parikia to Kephalos. Hayreddin Barbarossa sieged and conquered the castle in 1537. Marpissa may have started developping during the second half of the 16th century, with the creation of a fortress-like settlement.

the United States Maritime Commission. In the late 1930s or early 1940s, she was renamed Excelsior; but, by 1942, she was again renamed back to Unicoi. Late in the afternoon of 15 July 1942, as Unicoi steamed southward off Cape Lookout, North Carolina, with convoy King Sail 520 (KS 520), a German submarine struck without warning and torpedoed three merchant vessels of the formation. Moments later, the submarine surfaced in the middle of the convoy only 350 yards from Unicoi. The ship's alert armed guard quickly took advantage of this unusual opportunity and fired a shell, scoring a hit on the submarine. Meanwhile, the two planes which supplied the convoy's air cover approached the submarine and dropped their depth charges. One depth charge actually hit the submarine and slid off before detonating. In all, four depth charges at close range finished off German submarine U-576 which left behind black oil, debris, and bubbles as she went to the bottom. Unicoi continued on with the convoy to Key West where, on the 28th, she joined Convoy WAT-10 bound for Caribbean ports. The ship parted company with the convoy on 1 August off Guantanamo Bay and set her course via the Panama Canal to New Zealand. On 6 August, she departed with Convoy GP 4 from Guantanamo for Cristobal, in which she arrived 4 days later. The ship alongside Convoy NA 41 left Langemak Bay on 13 August 1944, for Seeadler Harbor.

when the Yugoslav People's Army and Serbian paramilitaries committed the two most massive crimes in Croatia during the Croatian War of Independence in two Croatian towns, Vukovar and Škabrnja. These events are known as Vukovar massacre and Škabrnja massacre. In memory of these events, the Croatian Parliament in 2019 has adopted a new law which introduced a new holiday, a day of remembrance for all victims of the Croatian War of Independence. History Fall of Vukovar During the Croatian War of Independence, Yugoslav People's Army and Serb paramilitaries besieged and shelled the city of Vukovar from mid-August to the end of November 1991. Vukovar was bombed for 87 days, attacked from the ground, and shelled day and night from the direction across the Danube from the territory of (Vojvodina) Serbia. Fighting between the Yugoslav People's Army and poorly armed Croatian troops lasted exactly 87 days. The first bombed targets in the city were cultural institutions, city museum in Eltz Manor and the Vukovar Hospital, which was shelled daily with hundreds of missiles. After months of siege and the demolition and destruction of a city such as Europe has not seen since World War II, the city was finally occupied on November 18, 1991. Over 85% of the buildings in the city were completely unusable, the city was without food, water and basic necessities. After the fall of the city, many of its inhabitants and defenders of the city found refuge in the Vukovar Hospital, which operated in very difficult conditions. After the fall of the city, paramilitaries and the Yugoslav People's Army took over the hospital, and many who took refuge in the hospital were listed and taken to execution sites. More than 3,000 civilians were killed during the battle of Vukovar, and many non-Serbs were expelled from Vukovar after the fall of the city, while several hundred non-Serbs were killed at the nearby Ovčara farm near Vukovar and elsewhere, such as the warehouse hangars of the Velepromet. The fall of Vukovar changed the picture of the war in the international public, this changed the minds of many who continued to advocate for the survival of Yugoslavia in the west, even though the war was already going on for a long time. Although, the battle for Croatia was lost, the few defenders of the city fought for almost three months and allowed the Croatian leaders to better equip the army and prepare the army to defend the | with hundreds of missiles.

Although, the battle for Croatia was lost, the few defenders of the city fought for almost three months and allowed the Croatian leaders to better equip the army and prepare the army to defend the country. Today it is believed that this event helped the recognition of Croatian independence. Although it conquered the city, for the Yugoslav People's Army and the paramilitary, this was a Pyrrhic victory because they ultimately suffered heavy human losses and a large number of weapons and war equipment were destroyed. On 15 January 1998, the peaceful reintegration of the Croatian Danube region, Vukovar and the entire occupied territory of eastern Croatia were finally returned to the constitutional and legal order of Croatia. |

the rear entrance on the next street to the north. On top, it had an observation tower, and it had 14 cellars. It housed six stores that opened directly onto Main Street. The other shops and offices on the first floor opened into the interior corridor, while those on the second floor opened onto a balconied gallery that overlooked the corridor. Hotel rooms were on the upper floors. The town post office was in the building, enhancing the arcade's role as the city hub. When Rochester received its city charter in 1834, the inauguration ceremony for its first mayor, Jonathan Child, was held in the Reynolds Arcade. In later years, the arcade served as the main entranceway to Corinthian Hall, which was built by Reynolds in 1849 and located across the street from the arcade's rear entrance. The hall was a prominent location for lectures, concerts, plays, balls, parties and fairs. Directly across the street from the arcade's Main Street entrance was the office of the North Star, the abolitionist newspaper operated by Frederick Douglass. Douglass, who had escaped from slavery, delivered his "What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?" speech in 1852 in Corinthian Hall, a speech that one biographer called, "perhaps the greatest antislavery oration ever given." Two major corporations trace their origins to the Reynolds Arcade. The headquarters of the young Western Union telegraph company was located in the arcade from 1856 to 1866.

Bausch & Lomb, which grew into one of the world's largest eye-care companies, began in 1853 as a daguerreotype shop in the Reynolds Arcade. The shop sold eyeglasses at first as a sideline, but after the two partners devised a way to make eyeglass frames that cost less, eye care products became the focus of their business. The arcade was the scene of abolitionist activity by both blacks and whites who owned businesses there, including the Francis and Cleggett barber shop. Benjamin Cleggett, whose father had escaped from slavery, worked as a barber in Rochester before moving to Geneva, New York. He married Frances Nell, whose brother, William Cooper Nell, worked in Douglass's North Star newspaper office. The arcade was home to the Reynolds Library, the city's main reference library, from 1886 until the arcade was demolished. The Reynolds Library was then merged with the Rochester Public Library. By the 1920s, the arcade was becoming increasingly outdated in addition to being a fire hazard. It was demolished in 1932 and replaced the following year by a ten-story office |

From 2004 to 2005, Kurilsky would cruise around the Vitebsk Region in his black Volga and would pick up any victims he found suitable to satisfy his sexual demands. The first victim was a 23-year-old resident of Novopolotsk, whom, after he had sex with her, Kurilsky beat to death with a tire iron and then threw her body into the Usvyacha river. At first, this murder was considered an isolated incident, but almost a year later, two more bodies were pulled out of the river, bearing similar injuries to the first one. The first victim was determined to be a 16-year-old schoolgirl from Gvozdovo, who had been strangled, while the other was a prostitute from Polotsk whose throat had been cut. The latter murders were determined to have been committed only a month apart, but DNA determined that all three victims had had sexual intercourse with the same man.
