Draft:April 2025 Ohio–Pennsylvania storm | AfC submission | In the afternoon and evening of April 29, 2025, a powerful storm system crossed the states of Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, resulting in four fatalities and over 400,000 people without power.
The strongest wind gusts were measured at 79 miles per hour at Latrobe, Pennsylvania, while damage assessments by the National Weather Service's Pittsburgh office estimated straight-line wind gusts as high as 95 miles per hour in some Pittsburgh neighborhoods. Some media outlets classified the storm as a derecho, but NWS Pittsburgh stated that the storm did not meet all of the requirements for classification as a derecho, as it lacked "well-separated gusts of 75 mph or greater"; all of the wind gusts of that strength were recorded in western Pennsylvania. |

Wildlife Protection Act of 2019 | Orphan | |
Wildlife Protection Act of 2019 | California fur-trapping ban | California fur-trapping ban
The California fur-trapping ban refers to Assembly Bill 273 – the Wildlife Protection Act of 2019, signed by Governor Gavin Newsom on September 4, 2019. The statute made California the first U.S. state to outlaw commercial and recreational trapping of fur-bearing mammals, ending a practice that had existed since the early 19th century. |
Wildlife Protection Act of 2019 | Background | Background
Commercial trapping of carnivores such as coyote, gray fox and mink had dwindled for decades.
In 2017 only 68 licensed trappers reported killing 1,568 animals statewide, generating under US$9,000 in pelt sales.
Licence revenue—about US$16,000 per year—covered only a fraction of regulatory costs borne by the Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW).
Wildlife-protection advocates argued that public subsidies for the trade were unjustified and that native species were better valued alive through non-consumptive activities such as wildlife watching. |
Wildlife Protection Act of 2019 | Legislation | Legislation
Bill sponsor: Assembly member Lorena Gonzalez (D–San Diego).
Bill number: AB 273 (2019–2020 Regular Session).
Legislative passage: Approved by the Assembly (50–19) and Senate (26–13) before reaching the governor’s desk.
Governor’s action: Signed 4 September 2019; chaptered as Chapter 216, Statutes of 2019. |
Wildlife Protection Act of 2019 | Key provisions | Key provisions
The Act:
Prohibits trapping any fur-bearing or nongame mammal “for purposes of recreation or commerce in fur.”
Eliminates state trapping, fur-dealer and fur-agent licences.
Bans the sale of raw fur from these animals.
Retains limited trapping for depredation control, public-health protection and scientific research under existing Fish and Game Code exemptions.
The law took effect 1 January 2020, allowing CDFW time to phase out licences and notify permit holders. |
Wildlife Protection Act of 2019 | Implementation and enforcement | Implementation and enforcement
Violations are punishable as misdemeanours carrying fines up to US$2,000 and/or one year in county jail, under amended Section 12002 of the Fish and Game Code. CDFW wardens retain authority to issue citations and seize illegal traps or pelts. |
Wildlife Protection Act of 2019 | Reaction | Reaction
Supporters – Animal-welfare groups such as the Center for Biological Diversity and Social Compassion in Legislation praised the bill as a humane and fiscally sensible measure.
Opponents – The California Farm Bureau Federation and the California Trappers Association argued the ban would harm rural livelihoods and impede predator management. |
Wildlife Protection Act of 2019 | Related legislation | Related legislation
Assembly Bill 44 (2019) banned the **sale and manufacture of new fur products statewide**, effective 1 January 2023, with exemptions for used fur and certain animal species.
Several California cities—including Los Angeles, San Francisco and Berkeley—had enacted local fur-sales bans prior to AB 44. |

Wikipedia:Today's featured article/June 23, 2025 | Main page image/TFA | The Battle of Groix was fought on 23 June 1795 off the Biscay coast of Brittany between elements of the British Channel Fleet, commanded by Admiral Lord Bridport, and the French Atlantic Fleet, under Vice-admiral Villaret de Joyeuse. The British fleet of 14 ships of the line was covering an invasion convoy when it encountered the 12 French ships of the line returning to base at Brest. Villaret ordered his force to take shelter in protected coastal waters, but several ships fell behind. After fierce fights, three French ships were captured; the remainder became scattered and were vulnerable, but Bridport, concerned by the rocky coastline, called off the action. Most historians have considered Bridport's retirement from the battle to be premature, and concluded that an opportunity to destroy the French fleet may have been squandered. The French were trapped in Lorient where food supplies ran out, crippling the fleet. Several French captains were court-martialled following the battle. |

1926 Dhabyani coup d'état | Short description | In 1926 Sheikh Saqr Al Nahyan, who had helped his brother, the then current emir of Abu Dhabi, Sultan Al Nahyan stage a coup in 1922, staged his own coup to take the throne for himself. |
1926 Dhabyani coup d'état | Background | Background
In the 1920's Abu Dhabi would undergo an economic collapse due to the pearl fields in their territories going dry due to over fishing. Hamdan Al Nahyan had been emir since 1912, succeeding his brother Tahnoun who became emir in 1909 following their fathers death, and had died young.
Believing that the economic crisis was due to Hamdan's poor management, three of his brothers Hazza, Sultan, and Saqr conspired to overthrow him, doing so in 1922, with Sultan killing Hamdan during the coup and being crowned emir due to him having some support within the Al Nahyan council of elders. However, the coup didn't resolve the economic crisis, which only continued to worsen due to the political uncertainty. |
1926 Dhabyani coup d'état | Plot | Plot
Sultan, attempting to cut state spending, canceled his brothers allowances which turned them against him. Meanwhile the family council abandoned Sultan due to his failure to address the economic crisis. Sensing he was in imminent danger from a plot from either the family council or one of his brothers, Sultan had his sons Hazza and Shakhbut sent into exile in Buraimi on July 12, 1926.
On August 4, 1926, Saqr invited Sultan to a dinner. There, Saqr would shoot and kill Sultan, as well as wounding Sultan's son Khalid who was able to escape and sought refuge at the home of his mother's family, the Qubaisat. Saqr would then proclaim himself ruler, and was accepted by the people of Abu Dhabi. |
1926 Dhabyani coup d'état | Aftermath | Aftermath
Despite his role in the earlier coup, and him now being emir by gunpoint, Saqr was not well received by the Al Nahyan due to him being raised primarily with his mother's family, the Al-Bu Falasah, in Dubai. An outsider in the family, he was politically isolated and sought to ally with Saudi Arabia to counteract this isolation.
Saqr's first act was to send own son Dhiyab to Buraimi with a forged letter from Sultan asking his two sons Hazza and Shakbut, to return to Abu Dhabi on urgent business as if Sultan was still alive, while in reality Saqr would kill them both as soon as they entered the country. However, both had already learned of the death of their father, and had found refuge, and military support, from the Dawahir tribe and traveled around the gulf in exile in Dubai and later Qatar, where they started to organize with the Qubaisat to stage a coup.
Unable to deal with Sultan's sons, Saqr began to engineer a plot to kill his oldest brother Khalifa and his son Muhammad, however, Khalifa would learn of the plot and return to politics, and begin to seek allies within the council of elders to topple Saqr.
This, combined with news of his negotiations with the Saudis was enough to spur Khalifa, Khalid, and the family council into staging a third coup in 1928 to ultimately crown Sultan's eldest son Shakhbut with British backing. Saqr's kids would be sent into exile, and they would attempt to orchestrate their own coup in 1955 with Saudi backing, but this was ultimately called off. |

Lee Crooks (voice actor) | short description | Lee Crooks (1960 -) is an American voice actor best known for his work with the Chicago Transit Authority.
Lee Crooks grew up in Wausau, Wisconsin. He was heavily involved with music in high school. He attended the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point at Wausau, then transferred to the Berklee College of Music in Boston to study guitar. He returned to his home state of Wisconsin further study at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music.
Crooks did not finish college. He worked as a roadie for a few years for a friend's band, then went to Ohio to become an audio engineer. He then started Breezeway Recording Studio in Waukesha, Wisconsin. In the late 1980s, Crooks sold the studio but continued working there as an audio engineer. After years of working as a audio engineer, he went into voice acting. He started taking lessons from a voice coach in Chicago in 1989.
In the 1990s, the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) started looking for a voice actor to do overhead announcements on buses and trains. Previously, train conductors had made the announcements while driving. Their voices were often muffled and difficult for passengers to hear. Crooks auditioned for the role in 1997. He had just visited Disney World with his family, and he was inspired by the announcer's voice on the monorail. His voice went live on the "L" in 2000 and on CTA buses in 2003.
As of 2023, Crooks still commutes to Chicago to record updates to the overhead announcement system. He notes that his voice has deepened with age, making it difficult at times to match the original 1998 announcement voice. Crooks has been nicknamed the "voice of the CTA."
Crooks also does voiceovers for commercials, audiobooks, documentaries, technical training videos, and Buffalo Metro Rail in Buffalo, New York.
Crooks lives in the Milwaukee suburbs with his family. He is married with children and a grandchild. |

Redirect to Pierre Poilievre. Notability is not inherited just because their husband is leader of the opposition. On her own merits, political operatives rarely meet notability requirements, though there are exceptions.
