Zeng Junchen (Chinese: 曾俊臣; pinyin: Zēng Jùnchén; 6 September 1888 – 6 July 1964), courtesy name Yun'an (Chinese: 云安; pinyin: Yún'ān), art name Zhengran (Chinese: 正然; pinyin: Zhèngrán), was a Chinese businessman and opium kingpin from Sichuan. Starting off as a restaurateur and salt merchant, he then became a kingpin and amassed a fortune in some four years of dealing with opium. He was often referred to as China's "King of Opium". Zeng was also a philanthropist and donated large sums to charities and schools. He died in July 1964, aged 76, in Chongqing. Zeng's former residence in Shapingba District is now listed as a local monument.

Zeng was born on 6 September 1888 in Weiyuan County, Sichuan, China; his birth name was Chenxun (Chinese: 臣勋). He also had an art name, Zhengran. His grandfather was Zeng Huailun (曾怀伦), a coal factory and dye-house owner. Chenxun's father Zeng Bencan (曾本灿) took over the business from the eldest Zeng. He began working in salt harvesting at the age of 9, and became a salt merchant around 1905, forging connections with other traders and local authorities. Concurrently, he worked at the Luzhou-based Rong Ji Provisions Store (荣记粮店) with his wife and uncle. Owing to local unrest, food prices were high and Zeng profited from the situation. He used these earnings to open a tavern named "Big Diner" (大餐楼) in 1914; it was, at that time, the biggest food establishment in Luzhou. In 1928, Zeng partnered with a fellow salt merchant to establish a Hubei-based trading firm named Yu Marketing (渝运销湖北). At the peak of its operations, their business handled three hundred-odd "loads" (载) of salt daily, with one load weighing around 93600 catties (approximately 46,000 kilograms); this made them one of the largest salt carriers in the country. For ten years, Zeng served as president of the Chongqing Salt Merchants' Association.

His stint in the salt industry ended after three decades. Salt taxes hit a new high and substantially affected earnings. In 1935, during the boom of the opium trade, Zeng decided to pursue the riches involved in drug-dealing. Nonetheless, he was initially apprehensive of the risk involved. He approached a handful of banks for loans, and signed a pact with friends Li Chongjiang (李舂江) and Shi Zhuxuan (石竹轩), Zeng was able to pool together 300,000 yuan to start his new business, and then reportedly earned nine times that amount.

Fortunately for Zeng, his established dealings with high-ranking officials, including He Guoguang (賀國光), Xia Douyin, Xu Yuanquan, and He Chenrui (何成睿) gave him leeway in operating his opium empire. In fact, the authorities unofficially allied with opium dealers as a means of netting extra revenue and the drug trade was difficult to clamp down on. By-and-by the opium-dealing circle grew in size, largely due to an influx of salt merchants, and Zeng was granted the right to legally ship opium by his friends in the government who also invested in his firms. He was appointed chairman of the "Special Business Association" whose members included drug dealers and smugglers from all parts of the world.

At the height, Zeng was taking in more than a hundred thousand yuan from drugs daily. Zeng would be informed of a tax increase coming his way, and he would then promptly arrange for a meetup with members of the Sichuan treasury, to present them with gifts and a promissory note. His wealth enabled him to purchase various plots of farmland in China. In addition to owning a mega tobacco company, Shu Yi (蜀益烟草公司), he was sole proprietor of Victory Bank (胜利银行) and had shares in Sichuan Meifeng Chemical, Sichuan Salt, and "eleven other banks". Zeng's disciple was Jiangjin-raised Wang Zhengping (王政平), who went on to found his own cartel.

Following a nationwide crackdown on drugs and growing competition, Zeng retired from the trade in 1939 with substantial savings. He published an account of his time in the realm of opium, titled Five Years In The "Special Business" (经营特业五年纪略). In the later half of his life, he donated to a range of organisations, including a primary school in Sichuan. During a famine in Sichuan in 1943, Zeng personally fed victims whom he observed looting a grocery store at the Shangqishi Market. Zeng was a supporter of the Chiang Kai-shek-led Kuomintang and expressed dismay at its defeat in the civil war against Mao Zedong in 1949. He reportedly said, "All the success I have attained in my life has been a façade; alas, I fall together with the Kuomintang government. I have overcome all challenges, bar this." Zeng Junchen died on 6 July 1964 in Chongqing, China, at age 76. His former residence in Shapingba, Chongqing, a two-story building with a garden, was gazetted as a monument by the local government in May 2006.

Zeng's estimated earnings of five to six million yuan trading opium made him one of, if not the, most successful drug barons of China during his period. Li Xiaoxiong writes in Poppies and Politics in China that Zeng was the "most famous opium merchant (who) made a huge amount of money at the peak of the opium mania." Zeng is frequently referred to as the "King of Opium." His contemporaries regarded him as the "opium king of East Sichuan"; an Italian drug dealer, a Jenkins, lauded Zeng for transforming Sichuan into the "drug capital of the world", whereas an unnamed Chongqing official remarked that Zeng was responsible for the livelihoods of "so many".

Mainz and its inner city were heavily destroyed at the beginning of the 19th century after the coalition wars and the siege of Mainz in 1793. During the occupation of Mainz from 1792 and its integration into the French First Republic from 1801 onwards, Mainz became the capital of the Département du Mont-Tonnerre. On 22 June 1804, Mainz became a Bonne ville de l'Empire français by order of Napoleon Bonaparte. On 1 June 1804, Mainz became the capital of the Département du Mont-Tonnerre. On 1 June 1804, Mainz became a Bonne ville de l'Empire français. In October 1804 Napoleon Bonaparte decided in a decree to build a new boulevard and a representative area in the heart of the city centre of Mainz. The French architect Eustache de Saint-Far was commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte to plan the redesign of the district. Eustache de Saint-Far became "Ingénieur en chef au corps Impérial des Ponts et Chaussées du Département Mont Tonnerre et de la Sarre" in 1802.

There is another Kouchibouguac River that empties into the Northumberland Strait at Beaubassin East in New Brunswick. The Kouchibouguac River is a river in eastern New Brunswick, Canada, which empties into the Northumberland Strait. It is 72 kilometres (44.7 mi) long. It is not to be confused with the Kouchibouguacis River running parallel to this river, about 6 kilometres (4 mi) to the south. This river flows through Kouchibouguac National Park. The river's name means "river of the long tides" in Mi'kmaq.

Eustache de Saint-Far planned a street leading from the animal market, today's Schillerplatz, to the new square. The starting point of this street was the Bassenheimer Hof as ″Point de vue″. In 1809 the construction of the street with the name "Grande Rue Napoléon" began, in 1814 the street was renamed "Neue Straße" or new street. Later the street was renamed after Ludwig I. of Hessen-Darmstadt. It still bears the name Ludwigsstraße today. Due to the construction of the street and the Gutenbergplatz, some buildings had to be demolished. The church of the Agnetenkloster, the Sebastians chapel, the Mainz cathedral provost built between 1781 and 1786 by François Ignace Mangin on behalf of cathedral provost Damian Friedrich von der Leyen and the ruins of the Jesuit church built between 1742 and 1746 on behalf of Balthasar Neumann were demolished. Due to the ongoing coalition wars and the associated shortage of money, the large-scale project of a new parade street and an associated square had to be abandoned at the beginning of construction.

The area of the planned Gutenbergplatz was severely devastated by the destruction during the war, and there were some ruins on the square. Brigade General Rudolf Eickemeyer therefore prepared an expert opinion dated 20 March 1801 "On the execution of the plan for the reconstruction of the part of the city of Mainz burnt down by the Austro-Prussian siege in the area of the cathedral church". Only one building on the square was completed before the project was abandoned. Most of the construction of the square took place under the supervision of the city architect Augustin Wetter in a new attempt from 1819. At this time the architect and city planner Georg Moller also contributed significantly. According to scientific research under Moller's influence the south side of the square was probably designed particularly monumentally and in a uniform style. According to his plans, Belvedere towers were also to be attached to buildings on Gutenbergplatz. However, this was only realised on the building at Gutenbergplatz 2. At the end of the 19th century, Ludwigsstraße was finally completely built. Building on Gutenbergplatz continued until the 1870s. Most of the details in the building plans of Eustache de Saint-Far were still kept, although he had already been dead for about 50 years. Exceptions were the closed arcades and the missing balconies at the Gutenbergplatz. In 1873, a representative building was erected opposite today's Staatstheater Mainz. His styles from the Neo-Renaissance created an architectural interplay with the theater on the other side of the square.

During the Second World War, both Ludwigsstrasse and Gutenbergplatz were damaged. In the post-war period after the Second World War in Germany, reconstruction began. Among other things, the theatre was rebuilt, and in 1950 the two-storey pavilion Gutenbergplatz 16 was erected on old cellar remains at the south-east end of the square. The architect of this building was Kurt Barth. Many other buildings at Gutenbergplatz were built in the following years on the model of the Gutenbergplatz 16 building. From 1961, Ludwigsstrasse was widened according to plans by Ernst May. The low ridge development on Ludwigsstrasse designed by Richard Jörg and Adolf Bayer created a line of sight to Mainz Cathedral. Numerous two-storey pavilions were erected on Gutenbergplatz during these expansion measures.

The Gutenbergplatz is located in the heart of Mainz city centre. To the east, the square visually introduces to the row of squares around Mainz Cathedral. Initially, it was planned to combine the squares Höfchen and Markt into an oval square. This was intended to be visually highlighted by small radial streets. However, these plans were not realized. According to Eustache de Saint-Far's plans, the southern part of the square was to end at a new street leading to a courthouse to be built. On the opposite side, the Mainz Theatre was completed in 1833 after four years of construction. From 1837, the centre of the square was the Gutenberg monument designed by Bertel Thorvaldsen and cast by Charles Crozatier. To the west, Ludwigsstrasse leads to Schillerplatz with the Fastnachtsbrunnen (carnival fountain) and the Bassenheimer Hof.

In designing Gutenbergplatz, Eustache de Saint-Far took inspiration from the buildings of Jean-Nicolas-Louis Durand. His collaborator François-Auguste Cheussey had studied with Durand. According to his plans, the square was to have a square floor plan and its centre was to be marked by a monument. The monument was to be surrounded by colonnades, Eustache de Saint-Far called it "pour les temps de foire". The edges of the square were to be architecturally accentuated by arcades. Mainz Cathedral is visible from Gutenbergplatz. The present appearance of Gutenbergplatz and Ludwigsstraße was decisively influenced by Ernst May.

Near the square runs the 50th parallel north, which runs across the city centre of Mainz. It is said that several buildings and Gutenbergplatz itself are crossed directly by the 50th degree of latitude. In fact, however, only the Staatstheater Mainz is affected a few metres away. An optical course of the degree of latitude is marked in the planum of the square by two parallel metal rails for tourist purposes, between which the following inscription is placed with bronze letters: 50. GRAD NÖRDLICHER BREITE. A stylized globe, also embedded, marks the course of the latitude on the globe.

He finished fifth in the 1928 American League Most Valuable Player Award voting, despite the fact that the White Sox finished the year in fifth place. He was traded to the Cleveland Indians in the middle of the 1931 season, where he continued to perform well in the field. In 1933, Kamm set a single-season record for third basemen with a .984 fielding percentage, which stood for fourteen years until it was surpassed by Hank Majeski in 1947. He retired as a player after the 1935 season.

Kamm was considered a master of the hidden ball trick. On April 30, 1929, in a game against the Cleveland Indians, Kamm was involved in a rare triple play that involved a hidden ball trick. The Indians had baserunners on second and third bases when Carl Lind grounded out to the shortstop, who then threw to first base to retire the batter. Johnny Hodapp, who had been the baserunner on second base, erroneously thought the runner on third base, Charlie Jamieson had scored, so he advanced to third base on the ground out. Kamm retrieved the ball from the first baseman and tagged both runners at third base, whereupon the umpire ruled Hodapp out. Kamm then hid the ball under his arm and waited for Jamieson to step off the base. When he did so, Kamm tagged him out to complete the triple play.

In a thirteen-year major league career, Kamm played in 1,693 games, accumulating 1,643 hits in 5,851 at bats for a .281 career batting average along with 29 home runs and 827 runs batted in. At the time of his retirement, only Heinie Groh had a higher career fielding percentage among retired major league third basemen, and as of 2010, his .967 career fielding percentage is the 15th highest by a third baseman in major league baseball history. Kamm led the league in fielding average eight times, including six times in a row, and in putouts seven times. Kamm still holds the American League single-season record for putouts by a third baseman with 243 set in 1928, and ranks eighth overall in putouts by third basemen. He also led American League third basemen four times in assists and twice in range factor.

Kamm is one of only 18 players in major league baseball history to have more than 60 runs batted in during a season, without hitting a home run. He is the only player to have ever accomplished the feat twice, with 62 runs batted in during the 1926 season, and 75 runs batted in during the 1931 season. Sabermetrician Bill James, in his baseball reference book The New Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract, noted that after trading Willie Kamm, the Chicago White Sox did not stabilize the third base position until 1989—a period of 58 years.

The mountain was originally labelled as Sheep Mountain on George Dawson's 1886 map. Kootenay Brown referred to it as Goat Mountain. However, in 1917 it was renamed in honor of the Canadian Army's victory at the Battle of Vimy Ridge, to commemorate all who survived and died in the World War I battle. This mountain's name was officially adopted in 1943 by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.

The rim of Gutenberg is worn and eroded, most notably in the east where it is broken by the overlapping crater Gutenberg E. This crater in turn has gaps in its southeast and southwest rims, forming a passage to the lunar mare to the east. There are also clefts and valleys in the southern rim where it joins Gutenberg C. The crater Gutenberg A intrudes into the southwest rim.

The floors of Gutenberg and Gutenberg E have been flooded in the past by lava, forming a relatively flat plain across the bottom. This surface is broken across the northeast by a pair of clefts that form a part of the Rimae Goclenius. These extend northwest from the Goclenius region. The central rise of Gutenberg is a semi-circular range of hills that are the most prominent in the south, and the concave part lies open to the east. The floor is otherwise not marred by any significant craters.

Porter Charlton (September 21, 1888 - November 24, 1933) was the son of a Puerto Rican federal judge who in 1910 confessed in New York, United States, to murdering his wife at Lake Como in Italy and sinking the body in a trunk in the lake. He was extradited to Italy. The Italian vice consul requested Charlton's extradition. John A. Blair, one of the judges of the Circuit Court of the United States for the district of New Jersey, suspended Charlton's petition for a writ of habeas corpus and a warrant was issued for his arrest. This order for extradition was approved by Philander C. Knox. The extradition was argued before the United States Supreme Court in 1913 as Charlton v. Kelly.

James Johnson (also Johnston; February 1777 – 10 October 1845) was an influential British writer on diseases of tropical climates in the first half of the nineteenth century. Born in Ireland, at the early age of 15 he became an apprentice to a surgeon-apothecary in Antrim for two years. After spending two further two years in Belfast, he moved to London for the surgeon's examination, which he passed in 1798. Immediately afterwards, he was appointed surgeon's mate on a naval vessel, on which he sailed to Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. In 1800 he took part in an expedition to Egypt and, in 1803, sailed for India.

Johnson was born at Ballinderry, County Londonderry, Ireland, in February 1777, in a Scots-Irish family, at a small farm on which his father lived. He lost his parents early, received a scanty education at the parish school, and at the age of 15 was apprenticed to a surgeon-apothecary at Portglenone, County Antrim. Here he stayed two years; he passed two more at Belfast, and then moved to London, where he arrived without money or friends, to finish his medical education. While supporting himself as an apothecary's assistant Johnson passed an examination at Surgeons' Hall in 1798.

In January 1836 Sir John Forbes began the publication of his British and Foreign Medical Review, which diminished to some extent the circulation of Johnson's periodical. Johnson in later volumes co-edited with his son, Henry James Johnson. He retired from the editorship in October 1844. The last "new series" (6 vols., 1845–7) was mainly edited by Gavin Milroy, though his name did not appear on the title-page. An index to vols. i–xx. was published in 1834. In 1848 Johnson's and Forbes's rival reviews were amalgamated as British and Foreign Medico-Chirurgical Review, which was published from 1848 to 1877.
