Diana Cephas was the plaintiff in a freedom suit filed in St. Louis, Missouri in 1840. She won her case after it went to trial in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County in 1843. Born into slavery in Maryland, she and her young son Josiah had been taken to the free state of Illinois in 1839, where she was hired out by her slaveholder over several months. She was then taken to Missouri, a slave state, but won her freedom with the help of freedom suit attorney Francis B. Murdoch, despite the efforts of lawyers Myron Leslie and Roswell M. Field to discredit her.
Background
Both Diana and her son Josiah had been born into slavery in the state of Maryland. Josiah was born in April 1838.
In 1839, Diana and Josiah were taken to the free state of Illinois by slaveholder Mark Delahay and his wife. Delahay settled in Naples, Illinois in July 1839 and hired Diana out to Ross Hughes for months at a time, collecting her wages. In August 1839, Mrs. Delahay died. Six months later, Delahay went south, leaving Diana and Josiah behind in Illinois.
In February 1840, they were taken captive by Murray McConnell, who claimed to own them. Diana stated that McConnell took her "forcibly and against her will" by steamboat to St. Louis, and held her there in slavery together with her son. Mark Delahay later claimed that he had in fact sold his slaves to McConnell in St. Louis for $1,100.
Freedom suit
On October 22, 1840, attorney Francis B. Murdoch submitted two petitions in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County on behalf of Diana Cephas and two-year-old Josiah. They were promptly granted permission to sue by Judge Luke E. Lawless. A second set of lawsuits was submitted on behalf of Diana Cephas in 1841, but her case did not come to trial until September 18, 1843. Sadly, Josiah died on July 19, 1842, one year prior to the trial.
Only Diana's case moved forward. McConnell's lawyers Myron Leslie and Roswell M. Field brought forward witnesses claiming that Diana was a runaway slave. By claiming that Diana had run away to Illinois, Leslie and Field could argue that she had to be returned to her rightful owner under the Federal Fugitive Slave Law.
Nevertheless, Diana ultimately prevailed and won her freedom, based on the legal precedent of "once free, always free" which had been established by Winny v. Whitesides in the Missouri Supreme Court in 1824. The rule of freedom by residence meant that an enslaved person who was taken to a free territory to live or work with the consent of their enslaver could sue for their freedom, even if they had been taken back to a territory allowing slavery.
Diana Cephas's victory in court came soon after the Polly Wash and Lucy Berry won their freedom suits, also in St. Louis. Roswell Field, lawyer for the slaveowner in his very first slave case, went on to represent several enslaved plaintiffs in freedom suits before agreeing to represent Dred Scott in the United States Circuit Court for the District of Missouri.

Tilden Daken (June 14, 1876 – April 24, 1935) was an American landscape painter known for his oil paintings of the California redwoods, the Sierra Nevada mountains, and the countryside scenery of Northern California and Southern California. He also painted in Alaska, Mexico, Baja, the Hawaiian Islands, the South Seas, and parts of the East Coast of the United States.
Between 1900 and 1930, Daken was associated with the California Impressionism art movement in which artists painted out of doors en plein air in California. Daken was primarily influenced by the genres of Tonalism, the American Barbizon school, and Academic Art. Principally self-taught, he began his career painting frescos, murals, and stage curtains.
Daken exhibited in the leading galleries of the day in New York, Chicago, Cincinnati, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, and at the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. His works are held by at least eight museums and he is mentioned in over a dozen books. Art historian Edan Milton Hughes estimated Tilden Daken painted more than 4000 works.
Named Samuel Tilden Daken at birth, at about the age of forty he dropped his first name, changed the spelling of his surname to Dakin, and signed his works Tilden Dakin. His earlier signature styles: S.T. Daken and S. Tilden Daken.
Celebrity
Famous in his day, Daken's every movement was tracked by the press, revealing the social, cultural, and political times in which he lived and the noted personalities of the era with whom he mingled: bohemians, revolutionists, politicians, fellow artists, writers, musicians, and Hollywood film stars and directors: Jack London, American novelist, journalist, and social activist; James D. Phelan, San Francisco Mayor and United States Senator; vaudeville star Sophie Tucker, with whom Daken had an affair; Aline Barnsdall, who built the Hollyhock House on Olive Hill in East Hollywood; Aimee Semple McPherson, the Los Angeles Pentecostal evangelist and national celebrity; director Hal Roach, best known for his “Laurel and Hardy” and “Our Gang” (“The Little Rascals”) comedy series; silent film star Virginia Lee Corbin; and others of the film world. He also befriended a number of fellow Impressionists, including: William Keith, the Scottish-American Early California Artist whom Daken long considered his mentor; watercolorist Lorenzo Latimer; Mary S. Morrow, whom Daken tutored; Maurice Logan, member of the Society of Six; Impressionist Thaddaeus Welch; Impressionist and photographer Clyde Eugene Scott; Eugene Califano and Jack Califano (two of the twelve sons of the celebrated Italian painter John Edmund Califano); and Impressionists Carl Sammons, Arthur William Best; Clarkson Dye; and Paul Lauritz.
Life
Early years and family
The youngest of five children, Daken was born in 1876 in Bunker Hill, Illinois. In 1879, the family immigrated to Sacramento, California. Born and raised in humble circumstances, Daken was unschooled, mined for gold with his father in the Sierra Nevada Mother Lode, and developed an early passion for classical music, nature, and painting en plein air. At the age of nine, he apprenticed as a decorator and interior painter, and by his teens was a fresco painter in San Francisco. In 1903, Daken married native San Franciscan Mary "May" Elizabeth Duplissea. That same year in San Francisco, Daken opened a studio on Van Ness Avenue, destroyed three years later in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire, along with an untold number of his paintings. In the summer of 1906, the Dakens moved to Glen Ellen, California. They lived at the Mineral Springs and Health Resort on Sonoma Creek, where their two daughters were born.
Sonoma County years (1906-1912)
In Glen Ellen, California, Daken rekindled his friendship with Jack London. He and London had first met in 1901 in the Reno Station in Nevada and together rode the brake beams of a freight car on the Union Pacific Railroad to Oakland, California. Daken often painted at Jack London's Beauty Ranch in Glen Ellen, now the Jack London State Historic Park. In 1909, the Daken family moved to nearby Santa Rosa, California, where Daken was appointed head of the art department at Ursuline College for two years.
San Francisco, Mexico, PPIE, Lake Tahoe (1912-1922)
In 1912, the Dakens left Sonoma County and returned to San Francisco, where Daken opened a studio on Gough Street. In mid-1913, during the Mexican Revolution, Daken left his family and moved to Mexico to paint and scout material for San Francisco's 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition (PPIE). In Mazatlán, he made hundreds of charcoal drawings and painted numerous scenes of the Sierra Madre Mountains in the red palette. In 1914, in or around Mazatlán, he was shot three times and held a prisoner of war for two months, at the height of the disputes between Venustiano Carranza and Pancho Villa. After nearly two years in Mexico, he returned to San Francisco and exhibited the “Mexican Exhibit” in the Palace of Agriculture at the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition, including his mural El Rosario River of the West Coast of Mexico. In 1918, Daken divorced May Duplissea Daken amid scandal and publicized court proceedings. In 1922, Daken spent months in the Lake Tahoe region, resulting in a collection of 100 works, painted in diverse seasons.
Hollywood Years (1923-1925)
In early 1923, Daken moved to Hollywood, where he hobnobbed with film stars, directors, and other noted personalities of the era. He leased a home and studio in Corte de Linda Vista, a cluster of Spanish-inspired garden bungalows on Hayworth Avenue, today known as West Hollywood. Daken is best known during his Hollywood years for his paint-to-music genre which he performed on stage in various venues including the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. In 1923, Daken embarked on a trip to New Guinea to paint the headhunters. He was accompanied by Andrew Hooten Blackiston, an anthropologist and lawyer who donated some of his archeological finds to Smithsonian museums.
Marin County Years (1925-1930)
In 1925, Daken returned to Northern California and married his second wife, Florence Kainer. In the town of Mill Valley, he built a home and studio amongst the redwoods in the style of the arts and crafts movement. In early 1930, at the onset of the Great Depression, Daken lost his Mill Valley home in foreclosure.
Cross Country and the Mother Lode (1930-1934)
In 1930, the Dakens embarked on a cross-country trip during which Daken painted and exhibited in galleries in Chicago, Cincinnati, and New York City. The couple lived in Greenwich Village in New York City for fourteen months. In 1932, the Dakens returned to California. Intending to return to San Francisco when the Depression waned, they lived for a year in a mining camp near Yosemite in Bootjack, California. In early 1933, they moved to Georgetown, California, where Daken had mined in his youth.
Death
In early 1935, while living in Georgetown, California, Daken was stricken with cancer at the age of fifty-eight. He died on April 25, 1935, and is buried in the historic Georgetown Pioneer Cemetery, founded at the onset of the California Gold Rush.
Legacy
Painter of the Redwoods
Daken is perhaps best known for his paintings of the California redwoods, the giant sequoias and coast redwoods. “Genius, it has been said for lo these many years, is the infinite capacity of taking pains. Tilden Dakin . . . declares he spent four years studying the redwood tree before submitting a single canvas.” He “painted in every grove in the state,” he told a journalist, most prolifically at Muir Woods National Monument, Calaveras Big Trees State Park, Big Basin Redwoods State Park, Armstrong Redwoods State National Reserve, the Russian River in Sonoma County, Tahoe National Forest, Mariposa Grove in Yosemite, Sequoia National Park, and Kings Canyon National Park. In the early 1920s, Daken campaigned to protect the redwoods from the lumber trade and joined forces with Save the Redwoods League, founded in 1918.
Painter of the National Parks
Daken painted in over two dozen federal and state parks, forests, and monuments in the western region of the United States including Tahoe National Forest and Yosemite National Park. In 1922, he embarked on a months-long winter trek into the Lake Tahoe region in the Sierra Nevada, resulting in an assemblage of 100 High Sierra works titled the “Northern California Alps” collection. In the 1924, Daken led a two-month art expedition into Piute Pass in the John Muir Wilderness, joined by a cameraman and fifteen fellow Impressionists. In 1926, he led a second group of artists into the Rogue River and McKenzie Pass regions of Oregon. Daken wrote “Experiences in the Rugged West,” a short story about his eight-week mining trip and surviving an avalanche in the Sierra Nevada mountains, published in 1928 in The Wasp, a San Francisco weekly tabloid.
Painter of the Valley of the Moon
During his six years in Sonoma County, Daken painted hundreds of scenes of the Valley of the Moon. In part due to his friendship with Jack London, and the author's famous novel, “The Valley of the Moon” (1913), Daken became known as the “Painter of the Valley of the Moon.”
The Submarine Artist
Early in his fine art career, Daken studied Marine Art under the tutelage of Russian-born sea painter, Herman Richard Dietz (1869-1923). While Daken did not pursue traditional Marine Art, a form of painting that portrays or draws its main inspiration from the sea, he practiced freediving in the Pacific Ocean to view underwater scenery to paint from memory. He subsequently built a custom-designed diving bell in which to capture underwater scenes in the Pacific, the first painter of his time to attempt such a feat, in the Channel Islands of Southern California and in Todos Santos, Baja California Sur. He exhibited his underwater paintings in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York. Daken wrote “In the Grip of an Octopus,” a short story about his underwater adventures, published in 1926 in The Wide World Magazine and in 1927 in newspapers from Los Angeles to Boston and in Canada.
The Key of Red Artist
Daken possessed Synesthesia in Art, a rare and instinctive co-operation of the senses in art and music; he experienced the sensation as a child and it manifest in later years. Daken most actively engaged in synesthesia during his Hollywood years when he painted to music on stage in his “key of red” palette; as a Tonalist, he sought to emulate musicality and inspire contemplation.
Exhibitions
During his lifetime, Daken exhibited in Northern and Southern California, Chicago, Cincinnati, and New York. Since his death, his works have exhibited at: the Maxwell Galleries in San Francisco; the Marin County Civic Center; the Fresno Art Museum; the Fresno Metropolitan Museum of Art and Science, the Abilene Fine Arts Museum in Abilene Texas; the Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City; the Oakland Museum of California in Oakland; the Museum of Sonoma County in Santa Rosa; the Depot Park Museum in Sonoma, and others.

Academic relations between Iran and the United States are a branch of cultural relations between the two countries that became widespread, especially during the Pahlavi dynasty era.
Higher education in Iran in the modern era generally begins with the establishment of the academy of Dar ul-Funun. However, there have already been a number of activities to establish higher education institutions in Iran, in which the Americans have played a major role.
The first ones
"Yokhanan Sayaad Abaajlou", a graduate of Dr. Joseph Cochran at Urmia University of Medical Sciences, went to New York City in 1887 for postgraduate studies, making him the first Iranian student to go to the United States for higher medical education.
Other Iranians who went to the United States for the first time to study include the following:
"Hakim David Yokhna" (born in Urmia), who left Iran for the United States in 1895 to obtain a doctorate in medicine from Case Western Reserve University.
"Hakim Yaqob Sarkis", who went to Ohio in 1893 to study medicine.
"Elisha Sayaad Abaajlou", also went to Rush Medical College in Chicago for postgraduate studies, then returned to Iran in 1904 after graduating.
"Hakim Polos Malek", son of "Shamas Babu Malek Mellatbashi", returned to Iran from Philadelphia in 1914 after graduating.
"Eshaq Adams", who immigrated to the United States in 1891, received his medical degree from "Grand Rapids Medical College" in Michigan, USA. The book "Persia by a Persian", published by "Elliot Stock", London, 1906 was written by him. He died in 1942 in California.
"Yoel Yoseph Ahl Baz", who graduated from College of Wooster in Ohio, USA in 1905. His daughter wrote a book called "Yesterday's Children: Growing Up Assyrian in Persia", which was published in the United States.
Memorial School of Tabriz
The Memorial School was founded in 1881 and was run by religious missionaries of the American Presbyterian sect. This school was one of the institutions founded by American expeditions that had served in the city of Tabriz since the mid-nineteenth century. Eighty Muslims and 135 Armenian and Assyrian Christians were enrolled in the school.
In the early years of its existence, the Memorial School did not matter. The students there were exclusively Iranian Armenians. Number of them were also limited, but later the school gained importance, and a group of Muslim students also began to study there. After the Constitutionalism and the cultural movement, the Memorial School has become more important.
Kasravi writes: "Before the constitutional movement and also in the early years of that movement, the American School in Tabriz (Memorial School) was valued by libertarians because it was the only place where English and European science were taught and many wise young people came there. At this time, a story was created about the solidarity between that school and the constitutional movement, and that was the joining of Mr. Baskerville, one of the teachers there, to the Tabriz revolutionaries and his killing in the way of the Iranian constitution."
Vartan Gregorian is one of the graduates of this school who immigrated to the United States to continue his education and after studying in the United States, he taught and researched and became the president of Brown University, the president of New York Public Library and finally the president of Carnegie Corporation of New York.
Alborz School and American Girl's School in Tehran
It was in 1932 that the Alborz High School and the American Girl's School in Tehran were officially chartered by State University of New York. One of those who worked hard for the development of these American pre-university institutes was Dr. Samuel M. Jordan, an American who some has been called him the "father of modern Iranian education." Jordan Street in Tehran was also named in honor of him.
Urmia University of Medical Sciences
In medical sciences, while the "Maderseye Tebb" and the Dar ul-Funun in Tehran are often considered the first institutions of higher medical education in Iran, modern medical education in Iran was actually established in 1878 in Urmia. Founded by the American Dr. Joseph Cochran, the institute delivered a total of 26 graduates between 1878 and 1909. Mozaffar ad-Din Shah Qajar himself signed the graduation certificates of some graduates.
Dr. Cochran and almost all of the American faculty (including Dr. Wright, Dr. Homles, Dr. Van Norden, and Dr. Miller) were all buried in Urmia, and the institute eventually became Urmia University of Medical Sciences.
Academic relations
In 1976, at the end of the Pahlavi period, Iran had the largest number of foreign students in American universities among the world, with 20,000 students. On the other hand, at least 59 American universities were involved in the development or establishment of higher education in Iran. For example, the following can be mentioned:
Shiraz University and Ivy League
After World War II, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi gradually decided to change the model of Iranian higher education institutions from the French university system to the American system. That's why the Pahlavi government tried to get American universities to cooperate in the late 1950s. In the meantime, following the invitation of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi from president of the University of Pennsylvania to Iran, after several negotiations, Shiraz University came under the supervision and assistance of the renowned Ivy League University, so that scientific and cultural relations between these two universities became the strongest scientific and cultural relations between Iran and America and continued until the last days of the Mohammad Reza Pahlavi's rule. The development of many courses, the design and development of university campuses, the training of professors, and the founding of many research institutes at Shiraz University (then known as Pahlavi University) were all made by the Ivy League University.
In the design of the Pardis Of Eram campus, an American Minoru Yamasaki, was the designer and architect of the student dormitory buildings on the Eram hill. This project coincided with the Iranian Revolution of 1979 and remained unfinished.
Development of Tehran University
In the late 1940s, the teaching and research structure of the University of Tehran gradually began to emulate the American university system. The faculty of agriculture of this university, for example, was developed with the help of the University of Utah.
In 1954, the Institute of Administrative Sciences of the University of Tehran (now the faculty of management) began offering doctoral degrees with the help of the University of Southern California, headed by "Dr. Harry Marlow".
In 1958, the Journalism Institute of the University of Tehran was established with the help of the University of Virginia and "Dr. James Wallard".
And Johns Hopkins University which in 1965 established a doctorate in cytopathology at the University of Tehran.
Sharif University of Technology and MIT
Another prominent example of close academic and cultural ties between Iran and the United States was the "Aria Mehr University of Technology" in Tehran (now Sharif University of Technology), which was modeled directly on MIT in the United States.
Seyyed Hossein Nasr, the president of "Aria Mehr University of Technology", was an MIT graduate.
Americans and Isfahan University of Technology
The main and original designers of "Aria Mehr University of Technology of Isfahan" (now Isfahan University of Technology) both in terms of academic structure and organizational foundation were:
American company "Arthur D. Little" (an academic consulting firm)
"Dr. Gordon Brown", Dean of all engineering faculty and one of the main executives of MIT
"Dr. George Bugliarello", Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, University of Illinois Chicago
"Dr. Mehdi Zarghamee", Vice Chancellor of "Aria Mehr University of Technology" in Tehran
It was "Dr. Brown" who established the first six faculties of Isfahan University of Technology. In his final report, about the comprehensive plan of "Aria Mehr University of Technology" in Isfahan is mentioned:
Academy of Gondishapur of Ahvaz
In 1979, the scientific-cultural relationship between Iran and the United States at Academy of Gondishapur in Ahvaz was so extensive that at least 30 American professors taught at this academy.
Iran University of Medical Sciences
The Iran University of Medical Sciences became one of the most important medical information centers internationally through direct satellite communication with the American Medical Information Center. The university was then designated by the World Health Organization as the library and information center of the vast Eastern Mediterranean region. In 1976, with the cooperation of Harvard University, Columbia University and Cornell University together, educational planning and development activities, determination of spaces, provision of necessary equipment and manpower for Iran University of Medical Sciences were carried out. The original buildings of this university were designed and built by William Pereira, an American architect.
Universities of Utah and Agricultural Development of Iran
Many Iranian government officials are graduates of Utah higher education institutions.
In 1950, the United States in line with Harry S. Truman's policy and Point Four Program, established a plan called "USAID". It was from here that Utah State University undertook to cheapen its agricultural technology to developing countries such as Iran between 1951 and 1954, which continued into the 1960s.
The University of Utah also established extensive relationships, especially with the University of Tehran, to exchange students and researchers, which lasted for years.
Many graduates came from these relationships, including Ardeshir Zahedi and Ali Asghar Soltanieh.
However, the universities of Utah had established scientific-cultural relations and exchanges with Iran for many years (due to the climatic similarity between Iran and Utah). The first Iranian student to travel to Utah to study dates back to 1912. And in 1939, Reza Shah Pahlavi asked the United States to send agricultural specialists to Iran. Franklin S. Harris, a professor and president of Brigham Young University, came to Iran in response to Reza Shah's request.
University of Chicago and Persian Relief Committee
In addition to The Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago's relationship with Iran during World War I, a committee called the "American Persian Relief Commission" was formed in New York City to finance and support those who worked for the Persian Relief Committee. The committee chaired by Dr. Harry Pratt Judson, president of the University of Chicago.
According to a report, amount of $2,271,570, as well as some grain for planting and trucks to transport food from India to Iran, has been donated by the "Persian Relief Committee".
Other relations
Mohammad Khatami delivered a lecture at Seton Hall University in 2001. Mohammad Javad Zarif also delivered several lectures at US universities, including Princeton University in 2006.
On the other hand, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center had contacts with Iranian universities, such as Tehran University of Medical Sciences, through the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In the same year, delegates exchanged between Jackson State University and Shiraz University of Medical Sciences to find ways to provide low-cost medical care to rural Mississippi.
Obstacles
Despite the desire of both sides to improve and develop scientific and cultural relations, obstacles (such as sanctions against Iran) remain in the way of these goals. For example, in December 2008, "Glenn Schweitzer", director of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Europe and Asia (who has worked hard to exchange professors between Iran and the United States), twice in Tehran for nine hours in his hotel room, he was arrested and interrogated by plainclothes security agents, which was strongly protested by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The detention of some Sharif University of Technology professors in the United States has also been protested by the university professors. On the other hand, an Iranian professor who had been invited by the BBC to a debate at the American University of Beirut was removed from the debate by the university, which strongly objected to by him.

Vincent Leah was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, on November 29, 1913. He was the son of Francis and Bridget Leah, contracted polio at age eight, and attended Isaac Newton School and Ralph Brown School.
Journalism and writing
Leah began working for The Winnipeg Tribune as a copy boy in 1930, and retired on May 30, 1980, after 50 years as a sports journalist for the newspaper. He was credited with giving the Winnipeg Blue Bombers their team's name. Journalist Jim Coleman wrote that Leah coined the name late in 1935, after Winnipeg became the first team from Western Canada team to win a Grey Cup, and that the name came at a time when boxer Joe Louis had international success with nickname, the Brown Bomber. After 1980, Leah was a freelancer for the Winnipeg Free Press and also wrote for Seniors Today. In 13 years as a columnist for the Free Press, he chronicled the history of Winnipeg by his editorials in the neighbourhood section of the newspaper.
Leah was the author of eight books on the history of sports, Winnipeg and Manitoba. He wrote 100 years of hockey in Manitoba, in co-operation with the Manitoba Hockey Players' Foundation for the 1970 Manitoba Centennial. His other works include West of the River: The Story of West Kildonan (1970), Pages from the Past (1975), A History of the Blue Bombers (1979), and Alarm of Fire: 100 Years of Firefighting in Winnipeg, 1882–1982 (1982).
Sports administration
Leah established youth sports programs in Winnipeg for baseball, basketball, football, lacrosse, ice hockey, and soccer. He was involved with Sunday school sport programs in the North End, Winnipeg, during the late-1920s, and began the Community Juvenile Hockey League in 1932. He founded the Excelsior Hockey Club in 1934, which produced forty future professional hockey players and won thirteen provincial championships. He was nicknamed "Old Frostbite" since he stood in snowbanks while coaching minor ice hockey teams, and later expanded the Excelsior Club to include other sports for youths on a year-round basis. He later organized the Tom Thumb Hockey program in 1944, and the Red, White, and Blue Hockey Organization in 1949.
Leah founded the Juvenile Football League, served as secretary of the Manitoba Football Union, and was a volunteer high school football referee for eighteen years. He helped establish the Winnipeg Bantam Basketball League in 1949, and was a coach, manager and referee for lacrosse in Winnipeg after the conclusion of World War II. In 1950, he brought Little League Baseball to Canada.
In community recreation, Leah was instrumental in establishing the Margaret Park Community Centre in 1964, and served as its president from 1965 to 1967. He later served on the athletic committee for the Manitoba Centennial in 1970.
Personal life
Leah married Mary Isabel Jardine on April 6, 1940, and had one son. Leah was a member of the Kildonan United Church of Canada, the Royal Canadian Legion, the Kiwanis Club, and the Fraternal Order of Eagles. He was an organist at his church, composed music and poetry, and was a watercolour and pastel artist. He died from a heart attack, on August 9, 1993, at the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg. His wife of 53 years died the next day on August 10. They were interred at Glen Eden Memorial Garden in Winnipeg.
Honours and legacy
Leah was named to the Manitoba Order of the Buffalo Hunt in 1959, received the Manitoba Golden Boy Award in 1962, and received the Manitoba Centennial Medal of Honour in 1970. When he retired from The Winnipeg Tribune, he was the guest of honour at a civic banquet on June 3, 1980. He was made a member of the Order of Canada on June 23, 1980, for "his work in newspapers and interest in the welfare of the youth of Manitoba". The formal ceremony was hosted by the Governor General of Canada on October 15, 1980. Leah was inducted into the builder category of the Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame in 1981, and the Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame in 1985. He received an honorary doctorate from the University of Winnipeg in 1985. He was named to the honour roll of the Manitoba Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association in 1987.
Other honours Leah received during his lifetime include, the Canadian Amateur Sports Federation Award for service to amateur sports, the Canadian Parks and Recreation Association Award of Merit, and the United States Recreation Association Award of Merit. He was the first recipient of the Outstanding Volunteer in Sport Award given by the Manitoba Sports Federation, and received the Distinguished Service Award from the Heritage Winnipeg Corporation. He was also a life member of the Manitoba Lawn Bowling Association, the Manitoba Provincial Rifle Association, and the Ward Three Community Baseball League.
Leah was widely known as "Uncle Vince". Winnipeg Sun journalist Jim Bender described Leah as a mentor to his colleagues, and that "he was simply the kindest, gentlest man they'd ever meet". The Margaret Park Community Centre was renamed to the Vince Leah Recreation Centre on October 4, 1980. He was posthumously inducted into the Winnipeg Citizens Hall of Fame in 1994. He was made the namesake of three streets in Winnipeg, and the Vince Leah Trophy awarded to the rookie-of-the-year in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League.

James Macdonald, CBE, FRSE (3 August 1898 – 28 April 1963) was a British civil servant and forester.
Born on 3 August 1898, Macdonald attended Blairgowrie High School from 1903 to 1915, then served in the Royal Flying Corps during the First World War. On demobilisation, he read for a BSc in forestry at the University of Edinburgh, graduating in 1923.
Macdonald entered the Forestry Commission in 1924 and worked as a researcher. He was appointed Research Officer, England and Wales, in 1932 and that year became a lecturer at the Imperial Forestry Institute. In 1936, he was appointed a divisional officer in the Forestry Commission but was placed on secondment at the wartime Ministry of Supply from 1939 to 1945; he was in charge of timber supply operations for East Anglia, then Nottinghamshire and later north-east Scotland.
Returning to the Forestry Commission, in 1946 Macdonald was appointed Conservator and worked in the Director of Forestry for Scotland's office. In 1948, he became the commission's Director of Research and Education. He was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) for his services in the 1953 New Year Honours and served as president of the International Union of Forest Research Organizations from 1956 to 1961, alongside his work with the Forestry Commission. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1957. From 1960 to 1962, he was acting Deputy Director-General of the commission during Sir Henry Beresford-Peirse's secondment to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization. In 1962, when Beresford-Peirse returned and became Director-General, Macdonald was promoted to substantive Deputy Director-General. He retained responsibility for research in this role. He retired on 31 January 1963 and died on 28 April 1963. After his retirement, the commission's forestry research was reorganised; the post of Chief Research Officer was abolished and responsibility for research was given to the post of Director of Research (occupied by Andrew Watt), while the management section was transferred to the commission's headquarters.

The Bolivian Special Force to Fight Drug Trafficking or Special Antinarcotics Force (, FELCN) is a section of the Bolivian National Police focused on fighting the country's drug trade. It largely focuses on the production of cocaine and its precursors from coca leaves grown in the country. The FELCN was created on 24 July 1987, and took over supervision of the Rural Mobile Patrol (UMOPAR). The Umopar, popularly known as "The Leopards" (Los Leopardos), was formed in late 1983 under a United States-funded program designed to eradicate the nation's cocaine trade and in accordance with four treaties on narcotics, signed by both countries on August 11, 1983.
As of the late 1980s, FELCN and UMOPAR comprised about 6,000 members. Both were highly militarized police units. By early 1989, FELCN had its own intelligence service, which was charged with collecting evidence on individuals suspected of narcotics trafficking. During the late 1980s and 1990s, according to an investigation of Bolivian policing, FELCN, UMOPAR, and the US Drug Enforcement Administration "constituted the three armed branches of the fight against narcotrafficking. These three forces, supported by an important external financing, carried out a very hardline policy of interdiction and eradication of coca."

Harry W. Bass (4 November 1866 – 9 June 1917) was an American politician from Pennsylvania.
Bass was a native of West Chester, Pennsylvania, born on 4 November 1866. He earned a degree from Lincoln University in 1886, then attended Howard University before graduating from the University of Pennsylvania Law School in 1896. As a law student, Bass lived in South Philadelphia and ran for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives for the first time in 1896, while affiliated with the People's Legislative Party, and lost. Bass contested the 1898 elections for state representative, again as a PLP candidate, and lost for a second time. Shortly after completing his degree in law, Bass represented an African American tenant who, in 1900, had been evicted from his Bryn Mawr residence by the Methodist Episcopal Church, a church of white parishioners. Bass later joined the Republican Party, and served multiple terms as an elected representative of the Republican State Committee from Philadelphia. As a Republican backed by Boies Penrose, he won two consecutive terms to the state house in 1911 and 1913, and was the first African American member of the Pennsylvania General Assembly.

The Seaward Eagle, sometimes called the Seaward Eagle 32, is an American sailboat that was designed by Nick Hake as a cruiser and first built in 1996.
Production
The design was built by Hake Yachts in the United States, starting in 1996, but it is now out of production.
Design
The Seaward Eagle is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop rig, a plumb stem, a vertical transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed wing keel or optional lifting keel, powered by an electric winch. It displaces and carries of ballast with the wing keel and of ballast with the lifting keel.
The wing keel-equipped version of the boat has a draft of , while the lifting keel-equipped version has a draft of with the keel extended and with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water.
The boat is fitted with an inboard engine for docking and maneuvering.
The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, an "U"-shaped settee around a drop-down table in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the port side. The galley is located on the starboard side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is "U"-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, icebox and a double sink. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side.
The design has a hull speed of .
Operational history
Noted naval architect Robert Perry reviewed the design in 2002, for Sailing Magazine, writing, "I thought this was a handsome boat with a perky, near-plumb stem, nice accenting rubrail and well-sculpted deck structures. What I don't like about his design is the way the sheer spring has been exaggerated aft. This is a great example of why you need to think of these lines in three dimensions. The sailplan shows this strong sheerline, and it looks just fine. But in the water, it appears to my eye that there is some conflict with the sheer's low point and the distribution of beam. The kick in the sheer aft is just too exaggerated for my eye. Still, it's good to see a designer with the chutzpa to put a healthy spring in the sheer. It certainly gives this boat a distinct personality, and nit-picking aside I like this boat."
A 2004 review in Sail magazine noted, "the accommodations, designed around the keel trunk in the saloon, are comfortable and well suited to coastal cruising."

The 2022 Philadelphia Union season will be the club's thirteenth season in Major League Soccer, the top flight of American soccer. The team is managed by Jim Curtin, his ninth season with the club. The club's regular season will begin on February 26, 2022. Outside of MLS, by finishing second in the Eastern Conference during the 2021 season, the Union will compete in the 2022 Leagues Cup. Additionally the Union will be competing in the 2022 U.S. Open Cup, entering in the Round of 32.
Background
Ahead of the 2022 season, the Union saw major front office departures; technical director, Chris Albright was hired as the new General Manager of FC Cincinnati, and later assistant coach, Pat Noonan was announced as their new head coach. In January, former player and academy coach, Ryan Richter was promoted to assistant coach of the first team under Jim Curtin.
By mid-January, the Union had announced new contract agreements for starting centerbacks Jakob Glesnes and Jack Elliot, keeping both with the club through the 2024 season.
Ernst Tanner identified that part of the Union's offseason priorities were improving the forward/striker position. The first move for a new forward saw Julián Carranza, a young DP from Inter Miami, to be signed on loan for the 2022 season. In January, the Union traded their leading scorer (and 2021 CONCACAF Champions League Golden Boot winner), Kacper Przybyłko to the Chicago Fire for $1.15 million in allocation money. The outbound Przybyłko made way for the Union's marquee offseason signing in Danish Superliga Golden Boot winner, Mikael Uhre, to a three-year contract as a designated player. Signing Uhre broke the Union's transfer fee record
reportedly at $2.8 million. In February, the Union traded designated player midfielder, Jamiro Monteiro, to the San Jose Earthquakes for up to $450,000 and an international roster spot for the 2022 season.
The Union traded away or passed on all picks for the 2022 MLS SuperDraft, being the fourth consecutive season doing so. Continuing to sign young players through the Union's academy, left-back, Anton Sorenson, was officially signed to the first team as a homegrown player in January. Previously Sorenson had been granted an emergency hardship call-up for the 2021 Eastern Conference final in December.

Tylecodon paniculatus, also known as Butter bush, Butter tree, Butterboom or Rooisuikerblom (Afrikaans), is a species of succulent plant in the genus Tylecodon belonging to the family Crassulaceae..
Etymology
The genus name is a syllabic anagram of the former name Cotyledon, created by Helmut Toelken who split a few species off into a genus of their own.
The species Latin epithet refers to the shape of inflorescence — branched terminal panicles.
The common names refer to soft, fleshy and brittle stems. For centuries children have used the soft, slippery stems as sleds.
Description
Tylecodon paniculatus is a thickset, robust succulent dwarf tree up to 2.5–3 m tall, with very fat stems with usually well branched rounded crown. The single main trunk and branches are covered with mustard-yellow to olive-green bark peeling in papery semi-translucent sheets. Branches are short, with prominent leaf scars. Leaves are clustered and spirally arranged around the apex of the growing tips simple during the wintertime; they are paddle-shaped, 5–12 cm long and 2-10 cm wide, thickly succulent, bright yellowish-green; apex is broadly tapering to rounded, base is tapering without petiole. The plant is deciduous. Inflorescences are spectacular slender, ascending thyrses to 40 cm, with bright crimson-red stalks. Flowers have five joined sepals and five joined petals, forming an orange-yellow to red urn-shaped tube 1.5–2.5 cm long with spreading lobes. Ten stamens are pendulous at first, then upright as the petal-tube dries.
Hybridises with Tylecodon wallichii.
Habitat
Rocky slopes in Succulent Karoo.
Distribution
The species grows in the arid, winter rain-fall regions from Namibia to the southwestern South Africa.
Toxicity
The plant contains bufadienolide-type cardiac glycoside cotyledoside which causes cotyledonosis or nenta poisoning ("krimpsiekte") in sheep and goats.
Subspecies
Tylecodon paniculatus subsp. paniculatus — southwestern Namibia through to Cape Province.
Tylecodon paniculatus subsp. glaucus van Jaarsv. — Namibia.

Klemensas Popeliučka (29 June 1892 – 25 October 1948) was a Lithuanian brigadier general, teacher. He was Chief of Military Equipment Staff of the Lithuanian Armed Forces from 1929 to 1940.
Popeliučka, being a highly educated and broad-profile expert in military technology, largely contributed in creating the Lithuanian Armed Forces. Moreover, he was known for his devotion to his homeland, attached to his family, not consuming alcohol.
Early years
Popeliučka was born in Bučiūnai village, Pašvitinys County, Russian Empire. In 1912, he graduated from the Šiauliai Gymnasium.
Since 1912 Popeliučka studied at the Department of Transportation of the Kyiv Institute of Technology. In 1913 he was mobilized into the Imperial Russian Army, participated in World War I, and was wounded in action. For his bravery on the front, he was awarded the Cross of St. George. In 1916, he graduated from the Petrograd School of Military Engineering.
Interwar Lithuania
After returning to Lithuania, Popeliučka in April 1919 was mobilized into the Lithuanian Armed Forces. Since March 1920, he was the commander of a separate railway battalion, from March 1922 he was confirmed as the commander of the battalion.
In August 1920, Popeliučka led the commission in handing over the Švenčionėliai and Pabradė railway stations to Lithuania from Russian SFSR.
Popeliučka married Vanda Bohdanavičiūtė.
In 1923, Popeliučka graduated from the Higher Officers' Courses at War School of Kaunas.
Since January 1924, Popeliučka was the Chief of Staff of the Military Technical Board. Since May 1925, he was Inspector of Military Equipment of the Chief Defence Staff, since July 1927 Chief of the Military Equipment Staff.
Since August 1927, he studied at the École spéciale militaire de Saint-Cyr and gained the qualification of an engineer. Since April 1929 he was once again appointed as the Chief of the Military Equipment Staff, since August 1929 – Chief of Military Equipment.

Soon after graduating from the gymnasium, Tadas, the only talented and well-educated sixteen-year-old son of Popeliučka, suddenly became ill with meningitis. As the Soviets had taken all the more valuable medicines from Lithuania, they were unable to save their son and his death was a devastating blow for the parents.
Emigration
In the summer of 1944 when the Soviet forces were re-occupying Lithuania, Popeliučka avoided political repressions and departed to Germany. He lived in Augsburg and following his death on 25 October 1948 was buried there.

Graciasland is an album by the American musician El Vez, released in 1994. Often labeled as parody rock, the album addresses issues related to Mexico, immigration, and Chicano culture.
Production
The album was produced by El Vez. He recorded it with his band, the Mexican Mariachis, and his backup singers, the Elvettes.
"Aztlan" is a reimaging of Paul Simon's "Graceland", with the Rio Grande used instead of the Mississippi; Graciasland'''s album cover also sends up Graceland. "Immigration Time" is a takeoff of "Suspicious Minds" that also incorporates elements of "Sympathy for the Devil". "Hurarches Azules" is an interpretation of "Blue Suede Shoes".
Critical reception
The Chicago Reader wrote that El Vez "combines one part Elvis with one part bilingual and musical puns, then adds dollops of everything from Hendrix to the Clash." The Boston Globe noted that El Vez "shuffles the familiar and Williams Burroughs-like, cuts it up and recontexturalizes it into new, jarring forms, some in English, some in Spanish."
The Press-Telegram called "Immigration Time" "a timely, topical tune sung to the melody of the King's 'Suspicious Minds' with lyrics right outta Prop. 187."
AllMusic wrote that "Graciasland is El Vez's best work, smoothly combining humor, social and political satire, and great rock & roll in one fell swoop." MusicHound Rock: The Essential Album Guide deemed it "his crowning achievement," writing that the musical references "are played neither for parody nor nostalgia, but as legitimate touchstones from our popular history." The Iowa City Press-Citizen'' called the album a "delightfully subversive, post-modern collision of Elvis Presley with his often-unwitting, pan-global spinoffs."

V4332 Sagittarii is a nova-like event in the constellation of Sagittarius. It was discovered February 24, 1994 at an apparent visual magnitude of 8.9 by Japanese amateur astronomer Minoru Yamamoto from Okazaki, Aichi, then confirmed by K. Hirosawa. Initially designated Nova Sagittarii 1994 #1, it was given the variable star designation V4332 Sgr. A spectra of the event taken March 4 lacked the characteristic features of a classical nova, with the only emission lines being of the Balmer series. Subsequent spectra showed a rapid decline in luminosity and a change of spectral type over a period of five days. By 2003, the object was ~1500 times less luminous than at peak magnitude and showed a spectrum of an M-type star.
The nova-like event V838 Mon and this outburst formed an unusual category of erupting stars. In 2003, N. Soker and R. Tylenda proposed an accretion scenario as an explanation. They noted that a merger of two main sequence stars in a close binary orbit could explain the observed properties, a process now known as a luminous red nova. In this scenario, the decline in brightness and radius of V4332 Sgr was a consequence of the merged stellar envelope undergoing gravitational contraction.
An infrared excess from the object suggests it has a circumstellar disk. The infrared spectrum of this feature showed an absorption band of water ice and a carbon monoxide emission band. By 2010, the stellar component had become concealed by a dusty disk viewed edge-on. This dust includes a significant component of alumina, with growing amounts of magnesia and iron oxide.

Rewire is a multinational fintech company that provides online financial services tailored to the unique needs of millions of migrant foreign workers worldwide. Rewire was founded by CEO Guy Kashtan, CTO Saar Yahalom, VP of R&D Adi Ben Dayan, and Or Benoz.
In June 2020, Rewire won the FinTech category in the Extreme Tech Challenge (XTC) competition, the world's largest startup competition for purpose-driven companies.
History
Rewire was founded in Israel in 2015 by Guy Kashtan, Saar Yahalom, Adi Ben Dayan, and Or Benoz in response to the growing demand for affordable and accessible financial services of the local foreign worker population. Initially it served the thousands of Filipinos working in Israel as domestic caregivers for the elderly and expanded its services to additional migrant populations such as Indians, Thais, and Chinese to name a few. Initial investors included Israeli-based groups such as OurCrowd, Viola Fintech and Moneta VC. Additional initial investors included BNP Paribas (Opera Tech) and Standard Bank of South Africa.
In 2019 Rewire expanded into European and UK markets by introducing new local payment accounts (IBAN), debit cards, local money transfers, and cross-border bill payments. In 2020, during Covid-19 lockdowns, Rewire managed to triple its customer base, with 40% attributed to organic growth. To achieve its goals the company has established solid partnerships with prominent financial institutions in multiple countries such as UkrSibbank in Ukraine and digital wallet enablers in the Philippines and Nigeria, as well as the Chinese payment processor giant Alipay to enable its Chinese customers to remit money with ease.
In 2021, the company announced that it had completed a series B funding round of $20 million and also a collaboration with Israel's Bank Hapoalim. New investors joined this round of funding such as Renegade Partners, Glilot Capital Partners, and Jerry Yang, former Yahoo! CEO and director at Alibaba, through AME Cloud Ventures. At the same time, the company announced it had secured an EU Electronic Money Institution license (EMI), granted by the Dutch Central Bank, which allows the fintech startup to (I) issue electronic money, (II) provide payment services, and (III) engage in money remittance. Rewire was also granted an expanded Israeli Financial Asset Service Provider.
In February 2022, Rewire announced its partnership with insurance giant AIG and InsurTech company Qover.

Hate Über Alles is the upcoming fifteenth studio album by German thrash metal band Kreator, which will be released on June 3, 2022, through Nuclear Blast. Produced by Arthur Rizk, it will be the band's first studio album since Gods of Violence (2017), the longest gap between studio albums in their career, and the first to feature bassist Frédéric Leclercq, who replaced Christian "Speesy" Giesler in 2019.
Background
Kreator's intention to work on a fifteenth studio album was first revealed by vocalist and guitarist Mille Petrozza about three months after the release of Gods of Violence, telling The Metal Voice: "Maybe we should work with a different producer. Maybe we should go to a different country to record the album. Maybe we should write a more metal or more full-on thrash metal. Whatever we feel, first and foremost, that is the most important thing. Time will tell." In a September 2017 interview with Australia's Silver Tiger Media, Petrozza stated that the band could do another album after Gods of Violence but "not yet."
When asked in February 2018 about the future of Kreator, Petrozza stated that he "[didn't] wanna wait another five years" for the next album: "I think we're gonna take next year off and write a new record. That's the plan at least. We'll see what happens. I don't put myself under pressure. Let's see how I feel after this tour, and if I have ideas for new music, I will book a studio and start working on demos as soon as I have the time. And then I'll come up with some new stuff." In July of that year, he told Guitar Interactive magazine that Kreator would take 2019 off to focus on writing their fifteenth studio album, with plans to release it in the summer of 2020, though ultimately it was pushed back to 2021.
On September 16, 2019, it was announced that former DragonForce bassist Frédéric Leclercq had joined Kreator as the replacement of Christian "Speesy" Giesler, who had left the band after 25 years as their bassist. Leclercq made his debut with Kreator on the band's 2020 one-off single "666 - World Divided", for which a music video was shot.
Production
Kreator commenced work on their fifteenth studio album during the summer of 2020, and Petrozza confirmed that September he had begun recording vocals. Progress on the album continued into the next year. In March 2021, Petrozza revealed in the podcast of Italy's Metalitalia.com that Kreator was supposed to start recording the album in February, but added that this plan was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. He also went on to say that he wanted "the album to come out and go on a world tour right afterwards" and revealed that Arthur Rizk would produce it. The recording sessions with Rizk began in September 2021 at Hansa Tonstudio in Berlin and were completed by the end of the year.
Release
In December 2021, Petrozza announced on his Instagram page that Kreator's fifteenth studio album would be released in the summer of 2022, preceded by a "new single SOON!". On February 4, 2022, the band released the title track from Hate Über Alles as the album's first single, and announced on the same day that the album will be released on June 3.

The Pentagon Pedophile Task Force is a QAnon-affiliated group that has promoted unproven conspiracy theories surrounding child trafficking and child sexual abuse in the United States. Despite its name, it is unaffiliated to the Pentagon or the United States Department of Defense, or any U.S. governmental agency.
Background and claims
QAnon is an ongoing American far-right political conspiracy theory and mass political movement. It is centered around false claims purported by an anonymous individual or individuals, known as "Q", that a cabal of Satanic, cannibalistic sexual abusers of children operate a global child sex trafficking ring that conspired against the former U.S. President Donald Trump during his term in office.
The first mention of the Pentagon Pedophile Task Force was on a website affiliated with QAnon promoter and former investigative journalist Timothy Charles Holmseth. Holmseth said that he discovered an underground child-trafficking ring based around the Embassy of Ukraine, Washington, D.C., and that he was kidnapped and arrested by the deep state for exposing this ring. He said he was a witness for the Federal Bureau of Investigation and was a member of a "Pentagon Pedophile Task Force", a government group sanctioned by then-President Donald Trump. His claims have been promoted on Twitter, YouTube, and the right-wing American fake news site Before It's News. The group has said that 35,000 malnourished, caged and tortured children were found in secret tunnels under Central Park, New York City (among other cities), and rescued by the United States Armed Forces. The New York State Office of Children and Family Services and New York City Administration for Children's Services told Reuters they had no knowledge of any such operation.
Reuters said that Holmseth has "for years has spread unfounded theories related to missing children and human-trafficking rings", particularly surrounding the disappearance of 5-year-old Haleigh Cummings in 2009. He believed that the doxxing attacks he received (which Anonymous claimed credit for) were actually part of a sinister "group of child traffickers and pornographers".
Activities
In 2019, the Pentagon Pedophile Task Force organised a conference in Wales under the banner of Children's Crusade, a group devoted to fighting "government pedophile networks".
Holmseth's group associated with a purported legal firm called E-Clause, operated by two self-styled attorneys, Chris Hallett and Kirk Pendergrass, who were not licensed to practise law. The firm used pseudo-legal terminology based on sovereign citizen beliefs and tended to focus on family courts and cases dealing with child custody. Many of its lawsuits were considered frivolous "sham lawsuits full of gibberish and fake or misused legal terms", similar to tactics deployed by other members of the sovereign citizen movement. E-Clause was associated with a network of QAnon believers focusing on women who have lost custody of their children, some of whom resorted to kidnapping their own children, including Cynthia Abcug, Emily Jolley, and Neely Petrie-Blanchard. In November 2020, Hallett was murdered by Petrie-Blanchard, who had come to believe that he conspired against her.

Tenterden Town Hall is a municipal building in the High Street in Tenterden, Kent, England. The structure, which is the meeting place of Tenterden Town Council, is a Grade II listed building.
History
The first municipal building in the town was a medieval court hall which was burnt down by an inmate who had been incarcerated in the debtors' cells in March 1661. The borough council subsequently met in public houses until, in the late 18th century, the civic leaders decided to commission a dedicated building. The site they selected was owned by John Samson, who also owned the Woolpack Inn. After the council had acquired a long lease on the right-hand section of the site, construction started in 1790. The new building was designed in the Italianate style, built in brick with a stucco finish at a cost of £1,000 and was completed in 1792.
The design involved a main frontage with five bays facing onto the High Street; the right-hand section, which was symmetrical, featured a doorway flanked by pilasters and by round headed openings with a prominent Venetian window on the first floor. The left-hand section featured a carriageway on the left and a three-part sash window on the right, while the first floor was fenestrated by a single sash window on the left and by a three-part sash window on the right. Internally, the rooms occupied by the council, which were in the right-hand section, were the grand jury room on the ground floor and the assembly hall on the first floor.
The roof of the building was repaired after it was badly damaged in a fire in September 1879, a balcony supported by four columns was installed in May 1912 and the freehold in the property was acquired in February 1922. The council secured ownership of the left-hand section of the building as well in October 1925, so allowing a mayor's parlour to be established on the first floor. The building was also extended to the north to create a town clerk's office in 1936 and it was refurbished, with the Venetian window being replaced, in 1973.
The town hall continued to serve as the headquarters of the borough council for much of the 20th century, but ceased to be the local seat of government when the enlarged Ashford Borough Council was formed in 1974. It subsequently became the meeting place of Tenterden Town Council as well as an approved venue for weddings and civil partnership ceremonies. In January 2021, the town council announced plans to carry out a comprehensive restoration of the building, which would include the replacement of the 1930s extension, to a design by local architects, Theis & Khan, at a proposed cost of £1.75 million.
Works of art in the town hall include a portrait by Lance Calkin of the member of parliament, Colonel James Palmer, and a portrait by William Hoare of the master of Sunbury School, Samuel Curteis.

Humbertium covidum is a species of predatory land flatworm, found in France and Italy.
Description
Humbertium covidum is a small size hammerhead flatworm, about 20-30 mm in length. The dorsal face is completely metallic black, without any stripe or ornamentation. The head plate is reniform-shaped. The ventral surface is light grey–greyish brown with paler creeping sole.
Etymology and classification
The authors of the species wrote "The specific name covidum was chosen as homage to the numerous casualties worldwide of the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, a large part of this study was written during the lockdowns."
The species was initially mentioned as Diversibipalium "black" in 2018, when the authors of a study on hammerhead flatworms had only a few available specimens and could not complete an anatomical study. At this time, the species was assigned to the genus Diversibipalium Kawakatsu et al., 2002, a collective group created to accommodate species whose anatomy of the copulatory apparatus is still unknown, and was not given a Latin species name.
It was formally described as a new species in 2022 when more specimens were available (mainly from Italy) and was assigned to genus Humbertium on the basis of the anatomy of its copulatory apparatus. The study also included a comparison with several land flatworms of the subfamily Bipaliinae, including the description and comparison of the complete mitochondrial genomes in several species.
Distribution and origin
Humbertium covidum was described from specimens collected in two localities in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques, a department in the southwest corner of France, and specimens collected in one locality in Veneto, in northeastern Italy. It was also probably recorded (under its synonym Diversibipalium "black") near Rome, Italy.
The origin of the species is unknown, but since most of hammerhead flatworms originate from Asia, the authors of the study wrote that it was "probably a species originating from Asia and an alien species in Europe". A few records of specimens resembling H. covidum were found in the literature, in China, eastern Russia, and Japan, but these records could not be assigned to the species wither certainty in the absence of specimens and molecular information.
Genetics and phylogenetic relationships
The mitochondrial genome of Italian specimens of Humbertium covidum, is circular, 15,540 base pairs long and contains 12 protein coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes and 21 transfer RNA genes. The ND3 gene was found with a premature stop codon. In French specimens, the characteristics were similar but the length was 15,989 base pairs.
A comparative study of the Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene, widely used for DNA barcoding, found that the sequences from France and Italy differed by 2.58%, a distance compatible with intraspecific differences.

Marvin Lee Irvin (born May 4, 1949) is an American serial killer and former police officer who murdered two women in St. Joseph, Missouri in September and October 1990, and after his arrest confessed to an additional 1979 murder, which up to that point he had been the prime suspect in for years. For all three crimes, he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole.
Early life
Marvin Lee Irvin was born on May 4, 1949, in St. Joseph. His family rented a three-story home, and they were friendly to neighbors, who recalled Irvin as a quiet but polite boy. Irvin graduated from Highland High School, and in 1970 joined the St. Joseph Police Department as an officer, but it was not long before he resigned. In April 1974 Irvin was accused of picking up a 15-year-old outside a drug store, later driving her to a secluded area in Kansas and having sex. He was arrested, but the charge was dropped after the girl refused to testify. Irvin met up with another young girl named Ruth West in 1979, and the two sparked a relationship, and at age 15, West delivered Irvin's baby. West would later describe their relationship as abusive, claiming Irvin was emotionally manipulative.
Crimes
Disappearance of Micki Jo West
In 1979, Ruth, her brother Calvin West, and Calvin's wife 19-year-old Micki Jo West left for California, with Irvin following not far behind. In March, Ruth and Irvin officially married in Ventura, but by the time they returned to Missouri, their relationship had downgraded, with Ruth claiming Irvin beat her. In August, she and her 4-year-old son fled and took refuge in a motel in Elwood, Kansas, only sharing this information with her mother, her sister, the couple who helped her relocate, and Micki Jo West.
On September 11, Micki Jo West was scheduled to show up to her job at a hospital, but she never arrived. Later that same day, Irvin and two friends broke into Ruth's motel room, dragged her and their son into a car, and drove them back to St. Joseph. When Micki was reported missing, Irvin became a suspect, and he was required to take multiple polygraph tests, but the tests were inconclusive. Ruth West officially divorced Irvin in August after another domestic dispute, which resulted in Irvin chasing West barefoot across St. Joseph.
On September 11, 1986, exactly seven years since Micki's disappearance, an anonymous letter was found inside a Kansas City shopping mall. The letter, which was addressed to the St. Joseph police, contained details about the writer being with Marvin Irvin at the time of Micki's disappearance, claiming he killed her. However, the writer left no details about who he/she was, and police were not able to follow up on an exact lead. In 1988, a television reporter named Therman Mitchell received a letter addressed to him. The letter contained details about where Micki's body was, and the writer inviting Mitchell to show him where Micki's body was. Instead of meeting up with the anonymous sender, Mitchell aired a news story on the letter, pleading for the sender to come forward. That same year, Irvin and another woman moved to Ames, Iowa, where Irvin got a job working at railroad tracks. There, on March 30, Janet Huegerich filed a police report because Irvin had shot over her head multiple times. The resulting police confrontation ended with a police chase across multiple counties, with over 20 police officers in pursuit. After his eventual arrest, Irvin pleaded guilty to avoiding arrest and two weapons charges and was sentenced to five years probation.
Disappearances of Patricia Rose and Crystal Simmons
Irvin returned to St. Joseph not long after. There, on September 17, 1990, meat cutter 31-year-old Patricia Diane Rose visited a local bar named Brew's Blue Town to take a break from work and was due to return, but she never did and was reported missing. A month later, On October 29, 33-year-old Crystal Lynn Simmons also disappeared, last seen at downtown bar. During the investigation, investigators received a tip, saying that Simmons was last seen with a man named Marvin Lee Irvin, and to inspect his truck as evidence.
They followed up on it and received a warrant to search his vehicle. They temporarily removed the seats and discovered a partially wet towel soaked in blood. Further tests on the blood proved it belonged to Simmons, and Irvin was arrested. In November, skeletal remains of two women were found in a cornfield in Kansas, both were later positively identified as belonging to both women. An autopsy on both declared their cause of death as multiple blows to the head.
Confessions
While in jail awaiting charges, Irvin denied killing anybody. His brother openly believed this, accusing officials of setting-up Marvin, saying, "They want a guy for a lot of cases, I feel like the whole thing is kind of a set up." Detectives learned that Irvin was a suspect in the disappearance of Micki Jo West, and they used that to build up their case further. Over time, Irvin changed his mind and pleaded guilty to all three murders, offering details to where he buried West's body. During his sentencing, he said that in 1979, he took West to a cornfield in Kansas, where he proceeded to kill her and bury her body.
In October 1991, Irvin pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree murder and one count of second-degree murder and was sentenced to life imprisonment with no chance of parole. Irvin led investigators to a farm in Kansas where he said he disposed of West. Authorities prepared search dogs and a bulldozer to scour the area, but due to heavy rainfall, the search was delayed. Another search attempt was made on October 11, but the search team was unable to find her body. As of 2022, West's body has yet to be found.

The Baraboo Air Line Railroad was a railroad chartered in Wisconsin to join Madison, Wisconsin to Winona, Minnesota in 1870. It became part of the Chicago and North Western Railroad route from Chicago to Winona, Minnesota. After abandonment by the C&NW, part of the Baraboo Air Line route became the first rail trail, the Elroy-Sparta State Trail.
History
The railroad had its beginnings in a meeting in March 1865 to charter the "Madison, Lodi & Baraboo Valley Railroad Company."
The line was charted on June 1, 1870, to join the Beloit & Madison Railroad in Madison, Wisoconsin to the La Crosse, Trempealeau & Presscott Railroad at Winona Junction. This would connect a though line of the Chicago and North Western Railroad with its subsidiary, the Winona and St. Peter Railroad. On March 10, 1871, it was consolidated with the C&NW.
By 1872, twenty miles were finished to Lodi, Wisconsin. The ridges between Elroy and Sparta were tunneled at great expense and with much difficulty. The Baraboo Air-Line Rail Road connected to the LaCrosse, Trempeleau & Prescott Railroad at Winona Junction and opened for traffic in September 1873, through to Winona, Minnesota. In 1874, the C&NW reported an expenditure for its three tunnels of $476,743.32 and for the construction of 129 miles of railroad between Madison and Winona Junction of $5,342,169.96.

The Law on Crimes Committed Against Atatürk, or the Law No. 5816, also colloquially known as the law on the protection of Atatürk, is a law of the Republic of Turkey adopted on July 25, 1951. Its subject is the crimes to be committed, or have been committed, against the founder and First President of the country, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.
It was proposed (and passed) by the ruling Democrat Party due to the increase in attacks on Atatürk's statues and busts.
Within the framework of this law, access to YouTube, Geocities, and many blog sites from Turkey was blocked in 2007. In November 2010, Google removed videos from YouTube after a German company claimed that some of its copyrights were violated in the videos in question on YouTube (which also contained insults against Atatürk). Thereupon, the relevant Turkish court lifted the access barrier that was imposed on YouTube. However, after a short time, the company's claims were unfounded, and the videos in question were republished on the site; however, Turkish courts did not take a decision to block access again.
In 2010, Reporters Without Borders argued that Law No. 5816 violated freedom of expression, one of the basic tenets of the European Union, and that it contravened international laws on human rights.
Sections
Anyone who publicly insults or swears at the memory of Atatürk is punished with imprisonment from one year to three years.Anyone who destroys, breaks, spoils or pollutes statues, busts and monuments representing Atatürk or Atatürk's tomb is sentenced to a heavy prison sentence from one year to five years.Anyone who encourages others to commit the crimes written in the paragraphs above is to be punished as the main perpetrator.
If the crimes listed in the first article are committed by two or more persons collectively in public or public places or by means of the press, the penalty to be imposed is increased by half. If the crimes listed in the second paragraph of the first article are committed by force or an attempt is made to be committed in this way, the penalty to be imposed is doubled.
Prosecution is made ex officio by the Public Prosecutor's Office for the crimes written in this Law.
This Law enters into force on the date of its publication.
The Minister of Justice enforces this Law.
