Smith A. Boughton (September 1, 1810 – November 14, 1888) was an American physician and political activist. Nicknamed "Big Thunder", he was best known as one of the leaders of upstate New York's Anti-Rent War in the 1830s and 1840s.
Early life
Smith Azer Boughton was born in Stephentown, New York on September 1, 1810, the son of Azer and Elizabeth (Nickerson) Boughton. His family moved to Rensselaerville when he was a baby, and he attended schools in Rensselaerville and the academy in Cambridge. He then studied medicine at Vermont's Castleton Medical College, from which he graduated in 1831. He practiced in several upstate New York towns, including Saratoga Springs, Glens Falls, and Delhi. He took part in the 1837 Lower Canada Rebellion, when residents of southern Quebec attempted to obtain greater representation in Canada's British colonial government.
After his experience in Canada, in 1838 Boughton married Mary Bailey, a resident of Alps, a hamlet in the Rensselaer County town of Nassau. They were the parents of a son, Artemus Bailey Boughton (1843-1900). Boughton settled in Alps, where he farmed and practiced medicine.
Alps was part of the Manor of Rensselaerswyck, a multi-county estate owned by Stephen Van Rensselaer III, who was the manor's patroon. When Van Rensselaer inherited the manor, he developed the land by offering lifetime leases to prospective farmers; by not having to make a cash payment up front as in a purchase, and instead paying the relatively moderate annual rent Van Rensselaer charged, tenants were able to devote more of their capital to improving their farms and making them more productive.
Van Rensselaer generally proved to be a benevolent landlord; when tenants fell into arrears, rather than evicting them he usually preferred accepting partial payment, or goods and services in lieu of cash. However, the lifetime leases Van Rensselaer granted also included a "quarter sale" provision; tenants who sold their leases had to pay him twenty-five percent of the sale price or one additional year's rent. Many of Van Rensselaer's tenants experienced financial reversals during the Panic of 1837; when Van Rensselaer died in 1839, his tenants anticipated that their debts to him would be forgiven. Instead, Van Rensselaer's will required his heirs, including Stephen Van Rensselaer IV, to pay the debts he had incurred in the 1837 panic by collecting past due rents and quarter sale payments.
Anti-Rent War
The Rensselaerwyck manor tenants could not pay the amounts the Van Rensselaer heirs demanded, and the heirs would not agree to a favorable repayment schedule, so the tenants revolted. The holders of several other patroonships had similar arrangements with their tenants, and the anti-rent dispute expanded to include them. The conflict became known as the Anti-Rent War, and it took place from 1839 to 1845. The anti-renters declared independence from the manor system, resisted tax collectors, opposed sheriffs who attempted to foreclose on tenants' farms, and advocated for land reform that would free them of lifetime obligations to the patroons.
Boughton became a leader of the anti-rent movement, and was nicknamed "Big Thunder" for his oratorical skills. The activities of the anti-renters were sometimes peaceful, but sometimes turned violent, and on several occasions anti-renters disguised themselves as American Indians ("Calico Indians") in order to avoid being identified. After several violent anti-rent events took place in Columbia County, in December 1844 Boughton was arrested and charged with theft of legal documents, assault, riot, and conspiracy. Lack of evidence resulted in dismissal of several charges at his March 1845 trial. At a second trial in September, he was convicted of robbery and other offenses, and received a life sentence.
Governor Silas Wright, a Democrat, had taken the side of the patroons during the Anti-Rent War. During the 1846 campaign, Whig nominee John Young promised that if he was elected he would pardon Boughton and other anti-renters, and enact land reform. Young was elected, and in 1847 he pardoned Boughton and other leaders of the anti-renters. The New York State Legislature ended the dispute by passing land reform laws which ended the manor system.
Later life
After being pardoned, Boughton had his citizenship and medical license restored. He practiced medicine and farmed in Alps, and took part in other reform movements including opposition to slavery. He died in Alps on November 14, 1888. Boughton was buried at Sand Lake Union Cemetery in Sand Lake, New York.

This is the timeline of the War in Donbas for the year 2019. More than 110 Ukrainian soldiers were killed in the conflict between Ukrainian government forces and Russian-backed separatists in 2019.
February
In February 2019, 7% of Ukraine's territory was classified by the Ukrainian government as temporarily occupied territories.
March
On 7 March 2019, the Trilateral Contact Group on Ukraine agreed on a new truce to start on 8 March 2019. Although Ukraine claimed that "Russian proxies" (the separatists) had violated it on the same day, fighting did die down, with the Ukrainian side stating that the ceasefire was fully observed from 10 March 2019.
April
From January to April, a total of twelve schools in Donbas had been attacked.
May
On 7 May, amid an escalation of hostilities, with 25 attacks on Ukrainian forces recorded by the Ukrainian Joint Forces, pro-Russian tanks from Kalynove exchanged fire with Ukrainian armoured fighting vehicles at Novozvanivka. The tanks were supported by heavy machine guns, 120 mm mortars, 122 mm self-propelled artillery and anti-tank guided missiles. Another clash took place at Popasna, where Ukrainian armoured fighting vehicles engaged pro-Russian armoured fighting vehicles from Kalynove-Borshchevate that were firing on their positions. The Ukrainian military claimed the destruction of two armoured fighting vehicles, an enemy bunker and the death of three pro-Russian fighters. A Ukrainian soldier was killed in action and three others wounded in further fighting the following morning.
On 20 May 2019, Volodymyr Zelenskyy was elected as the Ukrainian President. In his inaugural speech, Zelensky said that his priority was "a ceasefire in the Donbass". He also asserts that "Crimea and Donbass are Ukrainian land", and that the people living in those regions "are not strangers, they are ours, Ukrainians".
According to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, from February 15 to May 2019, it recorded forty-five civilian casualties in the Donbas region. Ten civilians were killed with thirty-five injured. The report noted that it was "a 181 per cent increase compared with the previous reporting period of 16 November 2018 to 15 February 2019 when 16 civilian casualties (two killed and 14 injured) were recorded."
July
A major escalation of hostilities took place along the demarcation line on 10 July, when the Ukrainian Joint Forces recorded 42 pro-Russian attacks on their positions. One Ukrainian soldier was killed in action and nine others were wounded. The Ukrainian army returned fire.
On 17 July, "A new lasting ceasefire" from midnight on 21 July was agreed upon by the Trilateral Contact Group Minsk.
October
Following extensive negotiations, Ukraine, Russia, the DPR, LPR, and the OSCE signed an agreement to try to end the conflict in Donbas on 1 October 2019. Called the "Steinmeier formula", after its proposer the German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the agreement envisages the holding of free elections in DPR and LPR territories, observed and verified by the OSCE, and the subsequent reintegration of those territories into Ukraine with special status. Russia demanded the agreement's signing before any continuation of the "Normandy Format" peace talks. A survey of public opinion in DPR and LPR-controlled Donbas conducted by the Centre for East European and International Studies in March 2019 found that 55% of those polled favoured reintegration with Ukraine. 24% of those in favour of reintegration supported a return to the pre-war administrative system for Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, while 33% percent supported special status for the region.
In line with the Steinmeier formula, Ukrainian and separatist troops began withdrawing from the town of Zolote on 29 October. Attempts to withdraw earlier in the month had been prevented by protests from Ukrainian war veterans. A further withdrawal was successfully completed in Petrovske during November. Following the withdrawals, and a successful Russian–Ukrainian prisoner swap, Russian president Vladimir Putin, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, French president Emmanuel Macron and German chancellor Angela Merkel met in Paris on 9 December 2019 in a resumption of the Normandy format talks. The two sides agreed to exchange all remaining prisoners of war by the end of 2019, work toward new elections in Donbas, and schedule further talks.
December
On December 9, three Ukrainian soldiers were killed by a landmine. According to the Ukrainian military, Russian-backed forces violated the ceasefire firing "grenade launchers, heavy machine guns and small arms."
In December, Ukraine and pro-Russian separatists began swapping prisoners of war. Around 200 prisoners were exchanged on 29 December 2019.

Pronto is a bus route that runs between Chesterfield and Nottingham via Mansfield.
History
The "Pronto" brand was launched in the mid-2000s and was shared by Stagecoach East Midlands and Trent Barton who both operated the route. Some tickets issued by the two companies were valid on all services, while others were only accepted on services operated by one company.
In 2012, there was a dispute between the two operators resulting in Stagecoach timing its services to run five minutes before the Trent Barton services. It was short-lived, and consistent headways were restored.
In June 2018, Stagecoach introduced eleven new double-decker buses on the route.
In February 2020, Trent Barton withdrew from the route, leaving Stagecoach East Midlands as the sole operator.
Route
The route operates between Chesterfield and Nottingham via Mansfield. From Monday to Saturday between Chesterfield and Mansfield, the service is half-hourly, while between Mansfield and Nottingham the service operates every 15 minutes. On Sundays the service runs hourly from Chesterfield to Mansfield, and half-hourly between Mansfield and Nottingham.
Incident
In October 2019, three buses in a row failed to pick up a wheelchair user who was waiting at a bus stop in Mansfield. Following a complaint, Stagecoach apologised and stated that two of its drivers would face disciplinary action.

Stefano Kaoze (1886 or 1890 – 23 March 1951) was a Congolese priest and intellectual. He was the first African to be ordained as a Catholic priest in the Belgian Congo in 1917. In the following years, he wrote widely on a range of subjects connected to history, linguistics, ethnography and folklore of the peoples on the western shore of Lake Tanganyika with a particular interest in his own Tabwa ethnic group.
Kaoze was born in 1886 or 1890 and gained an education at a nearby mission station of the White Fathers and his intelligence was quickly identified. He came under the patronage of Monseigneur Victor Roelens who assisted his passage through nearby seminaries and his ordination in 1917. Kaoze visited Belgium with Roelens in 1920. He had already written on philosophical subjects and soon became involved in various studies on the history, folklore, and language of his own Tabwa ethnic group.
In later life, Kaoze held a number of official posts on the Commission for the Protection of Natives (Commission pour la protection des indigènes) and became one of the first Africans to sit on the Governing Council (Conseil de Gouvernement) advising the Governor-General of the Belgian Congo. He died in 1951.
Early life
Kaoze was born in the Marungu massif in the north-eastern portion of Katanga Province in around 1886 or 1890. He was a member of the Sanga () clan of the Tabwa people but little is known about his early life. Varying accounts of his childhood exist. At the time, there was substantial turbulence in the region around the western shore of Lake Tanganyika as a result of the Arab slave trade spreading westwards from the Swahili coast and, from 1883, also the eastwards encroachment of European colonialism in the form of the International African Association and Catholic missions.
As an adolescent, Kaoze moved with his family to the mission station, originally an orphanage and refuge for freed slaves, at Mpala which had recently been established by the White Fathers. This was possibly because his mother had been accused of witchcraft or was seeking to escape from a family or clan feud. Baptised a Catholic and taking the name Stéphane, he showed "exceptional intelligence" in the mission's rudimentary schools. A gifted linguist, he learned Latin, French, Dutch and Kiswahili in addition to his native . He was one of the first pupils admitted to the minor seminary at Mpala on its establishment in 1899. He was then sent to continue his education at the major seminary in Baudouinville (modern-day Kirungu) where he proved extremely popular with his tutors. Kaoze came under the personal patronage of Monseigneur Victor Roelens, recently appointed as Vicar Apostolic of the Belgian Congo, who furthered Kaoze's career.
While at Baudouinville, Kaoze was asked by a local magistrate to write an essay on "The Psychology of the Bantu" (La Psychologie des Bantu) which was intended to vindicate the "fundamental equality" of all human beings in the face of contemporary interest in scientific racism, considered un-Catholic. The text was later published in the Revue Congolaise in 1910 and is believed to have been the first piece of writing published in French by an African. It caused a "sensation" in Europe, calling for the creation of an "African Christianity" which fused elements of Christianity with indigenous beliefs and involved the preaching of the Gospel in African languages. Still under Roelens' patronage, Kaoze was ordained as a priest on 22 July 1917 and became the first African to be ordained in the Belgian Congo.
Career
Immediately after his ordination, Kaoze was dispatched to teach at the minor seminary in Karema in Belgian-occupied German East Africa. After Easter in 1918, he was transferred to the minor seminary in Lusaka in the Upper Congo. The mission suffered from an outbreak of Spanish flu, and Kaoze contracted the illness, but quickly recovered. He accompanied Roelens on a tour of Congolese missions in 1919 and was received positively by other missionaries. Later that year he travelled in Roelens' entourage to the headquarters of the White Fathers at Algiers in French Algeria and then to Rome to attend the beatification of the Uganda Martyrs in June 1920. He arrived in Belgium later the same year and preached in a number of schools and churches. He was received by King Albert I in Brussels. In the course of his visit, Kaoze met the Congolese agronomist Paul Panda Farnana and Kaoze's viewpoint was substantially altered by his visit to Europe.
Kaoze was acutely conscious of the importance of race and social division which had been heightened by his European visit. On his return, he began work on a major universal history of the Tabwa people with whom he closely identified. The work emphasised the primacy of his own Sanga clan. He published various works on Tabwa language and culture including a Tabwa grammar and Tabwa-French dictionary. In the following years, he wrote widely as a self-taught ethnographer and folklorist. Most of his work was never published. He served as a teacher and parish priest at Lusaka in 1924.
Kaoze was permitted to found new mission station at Nkala in 1933 to be staffed entirely by African priests. He remained the parish head there until he was sent back to Lusaka to serve as a priest in 1943. He remained posted there until 1950. With support from Roelens, he was made a member of the Commission for the Protection of Natives (Commission pour la protection des indigènes) in 1946. In the same year, he was among the first Africans to sit on the Governing Council (Conseil de Gouvernement) in Léopoldville (modern-day Kinshasa) which advised the Governor-General. He frequently traveled to Léopoldville and Élisabethville from 1946 to 1948 when the bodies were in session. During the Governing Council's sessions in 1947, he rejected a proposal to issue special cards for évolués that would grant them privileged status, instead arguing that the Belgians should treat the Congolese according to their developmental attainment. He also expressed his dissatisfaction with being forced to sit with Asians on segregated boats instead of his white fellow clergymen when traveling on Lake Tanganyika.
Later life
Kaoze fell seriously ill in 1950 and was sent to Albertville (modern-day Kalemie) for treatment. By the following year it was apparent that he would likely not recover and he was admitted to the European hospital. He died at the hospital on Easter Sunday 25 March 1951. A requiem mass was held for him at a church in the city.

Queerplatonic relationships (QPR) are committed intimate relationships which are neither romantic nor (necessarily) sexual in nature and that differ from close friendship by having the same structure and status as a romantic relationship. The concept originates in aromantic and asexual spaces in the LGBT community. Queerplatonic partners are each other's significant others, and the concept of QPR posits the existence of a special class of platonic love, distinct from romance, that provides an appropriate basis for this kind of formal intimate relationship. Like romance, queerplatonic love is often said to involve a deeper and more profound emotional connection than friendship.
Definition
C. J. DeLuzio Chasin defines QPRs as "non-romantic significant-other relationships of 'partner status'". Julie Sondra Decker writes that QPR often "looks indistinguishable from romance when outside the equation", but should not be "assigned a romantic status if participants say it is not romantic". She also notes that observers can misread it as close friendship in circumstances where overtly romantic gestures are socially expected. For Decker, the essence of queerplatonic attraction is its ambiguous position in relation to normative categories: she writes that QPR "is a platonic relationship, but it is 'queered' in some way—not friends, not romantic partners, but something else".
Some definitions put less stress on the partner-status structure of QPR and focus more on the idea that it represents a stronger emotional connection than friendship. For instance, the College of William & Mary's neologism dictionary defines QPR as an "extremely close" relationship that is "beyond friendship" without being romantic, and sex therapist Stephanie Goerlich in Psychology Today similarly describes QPRs as a "deeper commitment than friendship but often are not romantic in nature".
In asexual and aromantic online spaces, queerplatonic partners are sometimes nicknamed "zucchinis". The LGBT news website PinkNews describes this as "a joke which refers to the lack of terminology to describe meaningful relationships outside of romantic or sexual partnerships".
Origins and use
The term originates in the aromantic and asexual communities, and it was largely restricted to these spaces in the 2010s. The Huffington Post described it in 2014 as a "new label" coming from the same place as "aromantic" and "demisexual", the College of William & Mary's neologism dictionary observed in 2016 that it was only used in aromantic and asexual spaces, and Zach Schudson and Sari van Anders characterised it in 2019 as one of several "emergent gender and sexual identity discourses" appearing on LGBT social networking sites.
However, from 2021, some popular websites aimed at general audiences began to discuss the concept, and the concept has been used (rather than merely discussed as a neologism) in some academic art and literature criticism.
Some authors observed in the 2020s that QPR is associated with polyamory. A 2021 qualitative analysis of the language used by people involved in polyamory gave the word "queerplatonic" as a typical example of the "complex" vocabulary often used by individuals involved in consensual non-monogamous relationships. Y. Gavriel Ansara, writing for an audience of relationship counsellors, also observes that the term is common among polyamorous people. A 2022 article in the women's magazine Bustle drew parallels between "queerplatonic life partnerships" and consensual non-monogamy, relating both to relationship anarchy and the shared principle that the participants "customize their commitments according to what the people in the relationship desire".
Schudson and van Anders (2019) and the 2022 Bustle article also assert that use of the term is driven by "young people", or millenials and Generation Z.
Sex therapist Stefani Goerlich claimed in 2021 that the concept was inspired by Boston marriages—formalized romantic friendships between wealthy women in late nineteenth century New England. She also characterized QPRs as "an ancient practice made popular again", and suggests that Ruth and Naomi in the Hebrew Bible might have had "one of the earliest recorded QPRs".
Social analysis
In her reading of Heat: Between You and Me, an early Omegaverse fan fiction, Milena Popova argues that two characters from different castes cohabitating as friends in a society where those from different castes are forbidden to interact non-sexually might be read as an "implicitly queerplatonic life partnership" that "flouts social expectations and transforms dominant sexual scripts".
Savie Luce challenges the conventional queer reading of Mary Eleanor Wilkins Freeman's Two Friends, a story depicting a Boston marriage, which casts it in a "sexualized queer light" as depicting a lesbian romantic relationship. She argues that through the lens of QPR and Ela Przybylo's concept of "asexual erotics", Freeman's protagonists can be read as erotic lesbian partners without the need to mischaracterise their relationship as sexual or romantic, which Luce regards as "erotonormative". She also presents QPR as a radical counter-narrative to the lesbian bed death trope, with asexuality "an additive quality rather than a deficit" in a lesbian queerplatonic partnership.
Some authors have seen the concept of QPR as a reaction against an amatonormative hierarchy in which romantic relationships are regarded as more important than friendships. The author of the William & Mary neologism dictionary's entry on QPR opines that the desire to designate a close platonic attachment as a significant other rather than a best friend only exists because of the normative expectation that an individual should prioritize their partner over their friends—for them, QPR is only distinguished from friendship because the latter is not "considered a valid replacement for romantic love".
Similarly, Roma De las Heras Gómez connects relationship anarchy's critique of the idea that a romantic relationship is necessary to "create a family that includes long-term partnership, cohabitation, joint economic responsibility, and potential child raising" to the folk categories used in "asexual communities and aromantic communities online", and though she does not directly mention QPR, she does use the phrase "queerplatonic relationships" as a keyword for the paper, suggesting that she sees QPR as similar to relationship-anarchist non-sexual cohabitation and co-parenting.

Richard Allan Ferrell (1926–2005) was an American theoretical physicist, specializing in condensed matter physics and statistical physics.
Biography
Richard A. Ferrell grew up in Orange County, California. During WW II he served in the U. S. Navy. His mother, Elsie Hopper Ferrell (1906–1995), graduated in 1949 with an M.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles School of Medicine. He graduated from the California Institute of Technology with a B.S. in 1948 and an M.S. in 1949. He matriculated in 1949 at Princeton University as a graduate student with fellowship granted by the Atomic Energy Commission and in 1951 won the $1000 top prize in an essay contest sponsored by the Gravity Research Foundation. He married Miriam Laura Conniver in 1951. In 1952 he received his Ph.D. from Princeton University. As a postdoc he spent the academic year 1952–1953 under the supervision of Werner Heisenberg at the Max Planck Institute for Physics (which at that time was located in Göttingen). At the invitation of John S. Toll, Ferrell joined in 1953 the faculty of the University of Maryland, where he was promoted to full professor in 1959 and retired as professor emeritus in 1993. He was the author or co-author of more than 150 scientific articles and could write in French, German, and Russian. His 1960 article Electron-nucleus hyperfine interactions in atoms was mentioned in Robert H. Romer's list of memorable papers published in the American Journal of Physics from the years 1933 to 1990. His sabbatical leaves included visiting positions at the CERN laboratory in Geneva and the Max Planck Institutes in Munich and Stuttgart.
In May 1976 Ferrell with several American colleagues attended a Soviet-American physics symposium and also attended the Sunday Seminar of Mark Azbel and other refuseniks. After returning to the United States, Ferrell and his colleagues published a letter of support for the refuseniks.
He not only planted trees in University Park, Maryland, but also helped to persuade officials to have trees planted along U.S. Route 1 in College Park, Maryland and on the campus of the University of Maryland. Upon his death he was survived by his widow, a daughter, a son, and three grandchildren.
In 2001 the University of Maryland established the Richard A. Ferrell Distinguished Faculty Fellowship.
Ferrell-Glover-Tinkham sum rule
The Ferrell-Glover-Tinkham sum rule "asserts that the finite frequencey response which is lost in the superconducting transition reappears at the zero frequencey 'superconductivity' delta-function." The sum rule is important for many high-Tc superconductivity analyses.
As postdocs in 1956, Michael Tinkham and Rolf Eldridge Glover III demonstrated "the existence of a superconducting "energy gap" by showing that light below a certain frequency was transmitted much more readily through a superconducting film than through a normal metal film. This counter-intuitive result was a landmark confirmation of the famous Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory of superconductivity." Subsequently, Glover and Tinkham collaborated with Ferrell on the theory of their discovery.

The National Federation of Textiles and Leather () was a trade union representing workers in the textile, clothing and leather industries in Spain.
The union was established in 1984, when the National Federation of Textiles merged with the National Federation of Leather. Like both its predecessors, it affiliated to the Workers' Commissions. On formation, it had 24,048 members, and by 1993 this figure had fallen slightly, to 22,657. In 1994, it merged with the National Federation of Chemicals, to form the Federation of Textile, Leather, Chemical and Allied Industries.

He was husband to Louisa Flowers. He was a resident of Portland for 68 years.
Life
Allen Ervin Flowers was born in Columbus, Ohio on March 20, 1847.
Flowers was a cabin boy aboard the Brother Jonathon before jumping ship in 1865 as the ship docked in Portland.
Flowers waited in the nearby brush until the ship cleared port before he joined the growing African American community in Portland.
Flowers worked for a time at the Lincoln Hotel as a bus boy, then worked in 1880 for the U.S. Customs House. In 1885, Flowers began working for the Northern Pacific Railroad as a porter-in-charge. He worked with the railroad until 1900.
He married Louisa Thacker in 1882 and had four sons, Lloyd, Ervin, Elmer, and Ralph. Flowers became the first Black developer in Portland when he constructed NE Schuyler Street so that his wife could get a baby buggy to Union Avenue, the only through street to the Willamette River at the time.
In 1901, the Flowers's moved with their four sons to a 20-acre farm located by the north slope of Mount Scott. There, they farmed and raised cattle.
After establishing himself in his community, purchasing and building many properties, and raising his family, Flowers died in 1934.

The 2022 Eastern Australia floods is a current flood event occurring in the Wide Bay–Burnett, South East Queensland and the Northern Rivers of New South Wales. The city of Brisbane suffered major flooding, along with the cities of Maryborough, Gympie, the Sunshine Coast, Caboolture, Toowoomba, Ipswich, Logan City, the Gold Coast, Murwillumbah, Grafton, and Lismore. Eleven people are known to have died during the flooding, with Lismore, NSW experiencing the worst flood in its history.
Extent
Rainfall of over was recorded across the greater Brisbane area. In the three days to 28 February, greater Brisbane received of rainfall, the largest three, and seven, day total ever recorded in Brisbane. Mount Glorious received in excess of of rainfall in the week until 28 February. The Mary River at Gympie reached its highest water level since 1999. On the morning of 27 February the Brisbane River’s height reached , higher than the peak height of flooding in 2013. Wivenhoe Dam peaked at 183.9% capacity that day, despite the outflow gates being opened. Enoggera Dam, in the western Brisbane suburb of The Gap, reached a record capacity of 270% on the same day.
The rainfall recorded was higher than that of the 1974 Brisbane flood, with 30 locations across the south-east recording in excess of 1000 millimetres.
Impact
Throughout South East Queensland and the Wide Bay–Burnett, almost one thousand schools were closed in response to the flooding, evacuations took place and the public were advised to avoid non-essential travel. Food shortages were reported across the region, due to the ensuing supply chain crisis as well as affecting communities in outback Queensland.
In Brisbane, the CBD experienced flooding as well as the inner city areas of South Bank and South Brisbane, Milton, West End, and Newstead. The Brisbane River peaked at 3.8 metres on 28 February, below the 4.4 metres recorded during the 2010–2011 Queensland floods. Throughout South-East Queensland, more than 20,000 homes were inundated and power outages affecting over 51,000 properties.
All public transport services were shutdown lasting for several days, including rail, buses, and City Cat ferries. South-East Queensland's rail network suffered extensive damage resulting from landslips, and major highways closed due to flooding, including the Bruce Highway, the Warrego Highway and the Ipswich Motorway.
Holman Street ferry wharf in the Brisbane River suffered damage by floating debris. On the 28 February, a river crane for the Kangaroo Point Bridge broke free of its mooring, causing the evacuation of apartment and office buildings along Eagle street and the area of Howard Smith Wharves.
In the Wide Bay–Burnett, the city of Gympie suffered its worst flooding since 1893, with the Mary river peaking at 22.8 metres on 28 February. About 550 people sought shelter at the Gympie evacuation shelter, and up to 3600 homes were inundated in the city. The city of Maryborough also suffered flooding in parts of its CBD and cut bridges, an 11-metre flood levee was erected to protect the rest of the city centre.
In the Northern Rivers, the M1 highway was closed by flooding from Cudgera Creek to Tweed Heads.
Response
European Commission's European External Action Service activated the Copernicus Emergency Management Service – Mapping in order to produce delineation maps of floods in the Brisbane, Gatton, Grafton, Grantham, Gympie, Lismore, Maryborough and Wivenhoe areas of interest.

The 1966 Dayton race riot (also known as the Dayton uprising) was a period of civil unrest in Dayton, Ohio, United States. The riot occurred on September 1 and lasted about 24 hours, ending after the Ohio National Guard had been mobilized. It was the largest race riot in Dayton's history and one of several to occur during the 1960s.
Through the 1900s, Dayton experienced significant racial tensions due to the white population's discrimination of African Americans in the city. By the mid-1960s, it was one of the most segregated cities in the United States, with most of its African American population living in the impoverished west side of the city, described by the Dayton Daily News as "a ghetto with neglected schools and discriminatory city services". By 1966, the area had experienced several race-related riots. That year, in the early morning of September 1, Lester Mitchell, an African American man, was shot and killed in a drive-by, with eyewitnesses saying that it had been a white assailant. Following this, largescale rioting had begun by 10 a.m., primarily affecting west Dayton before moving into the city's downtown. By 10:30 a.m., the mayor of Dayton arrived at the scene of the rioting and stated that he had requested the governor of Ohio to mobilize the National Guard to restore order. Additionally, a curfew was enacted, some businesses were closed, and the several hundred police attempted to blockade west Dayton. The National Guard arrived at around 3 p.m., but by that time much of the rioting had ended.
In the aftermath of the rioting, one person had died, 30 had been injured, and over 100 had been arrested. The riot caused about $250,000 in property damage, primarily to African American-owned businesses in west Dayton. Following the riot, the area began to decline economically, with many businesses either not reopening or relocating elsewhere. Additionally, the city's racial issues were exacerbated in the following years with additional race riots (including two in 1967 and the King assassination riots in 1968) and increased white flight to the surrounding area. Speaking about the issue in 2016, former Dayton Mayor Rhine McLin stated that west Dayton had been "punished" by city officials because of the riot and had peaked economically in the years immediately preceding the riot. As of 2016, Dayton is among the most segregated major metropolitan areas in the United States.
Background
The 1960s in the United States was a period that saw several large race riots in major cities. This wave of riots began in New York City with the Harlem riot of 1964 and were followed the next year by the Watts riots in Los Angeles, which is regarded as one of the most destructive riots to occur in the country in the 1900s. These riots were often due to underlying social issues facing African American communities in these large cities and, according to academic Jonathon A. Cooper, were often triggered by "a confrontation between blacks and the police over a relatively trivial matter".
In the city of Dayton, Ohio, racial tensions had grown through the mid-1900s, with many African Americans segregated from the white population of the city. In 1966, the city was one of the most segregated in the United States, with about 60,000 African Americans (about 96 percent of Dayton's African American population) living in west Dayton due to housing segregation. The area was an impoverished part of the city, with a 2016 article in the Dayton Daily News describing it as "what many perceived as a ghetto with neglected schools and discriminatory city services". A 1966 article in the Dayton Daily News identified four main issues that African American community leaders had with regards to west Dayton, which included worse educational opportunities than white schools offered, joblessness, lack of access to home loans due to discrimination, and a lack of concern for the neighborhood residents from city leaders. While there had been some integration in the previous years, such as the election of Dayton's first African American board of education member and city commissioner in 1952 and 1961, respectively, some in the west side felt that the progress was occurring too slowly. In 1963, some white residents of Madison Township (a suburb of Dayton) rioted after a black family moved into their neighborhood, which was suppressed by riot police.
At about 3 a.m. on the morning of September 1, 1966, Lester Mitchell, a 39-year-old African American man, was shot while sweeping the sidewalk in front of his bar on West Fifth Street, located in a busy business district in west Dayton. Mitchell was taken to a hospital and shortly thereafter died. Sources varied to some extent on the killing, with one eyewitness stating that it was a white man driving a red car in a drive-by shooting, though it was unsure if it was a single man or a group of men involved.
Riot
By 10 a.m., the killing of Mitchell had precipitated one of the earliest race riots in Dayton's history, with looting and rioting primarily occurring in west Dayton. While Mitchell's murder had been the primary cause of the riot, other causes included underlying issues that had impacted Dayton's African American community, such as high unemployment, poor housing, and a lack of dialogue with city leaders. Additionally, the rioting had been inflamed by a police investigation wherein they stated that a drive-by shooting would have been impossible. During this time, rioters through projectiles such as bottles and rocks at vehicles driven by or carrying white Americans, with a reporter from The Journal Herald reporting that the crowd was chanting, "Kill! Kill! Kill!". One white truck driver suffered a fractured jaw after a projectile came through the windshield of his vehicle. Over 100 protesters were involved, and while 225 police officers set up a blockade around west Dayton, they were given orders to not engage with the rioters. Soon, the rioting had spread into downtown Dayton, leading to more property damage in that area. During this time, some African American men sought to defuse the situation by attempting to negotiate concessions with Dayton's city manager and police chief, requesting that some of the protesters who had been arrested be released and that two white police officers who patrolled west Dayton be removed from that beat. While the city officials agreed to these changes, it did little to hamper the rioting. C. J. McLin, who would later be elected as a member of the Ohio House of Representatives, was one of the people who negotiated with the city officials.
By 10:30 a.m., Dayton Mayor Dave Hall had arrived at the scene of the rioting. Police stationed there had armed themselves with shotguns borrowed from nearby pawn shops. Speaking to the crowd via a police car bullhorn, Hall notified them that he had requested the governor of Ohio to deploy members of the Ohio National Guard to subdue this "disturbance of the peace". Governor Jim Rhodes, who was at the Ohio State Fair when he received Hall's request, approved it and deployed 1,000 soldiers. At around 12:40 a.m., Hall ordered that bars and restaurants in west Dayton be closed. Additionally, liquor stores were closed, a curfew for everyone under the age of 15 was enacted, some city services were temporarily suspended, and trains were rerouted. By 3 p.m., the National Guard had arrived in Dayton, led by Adjutant General Erwin Hostetler and composed of men from the nearby municipalities of Blanchester, Covington, Eaton, Middletown, and Xenia. However, by the time of their arrival, much of the rioting had ended. Guardsmen patrolled the city in Jeeps armed with .50-caliber machine guns, while Hostetler made a tour of the city in an unmarked police car without any violent incidents, noting only signs of property damage. In total, rioting lasted for about 24 hours.
Aftermath
In the immediate aftermath of the rioting, one death and 30 injuries. Sources vary on the total number of arrests made during the rioting, but there were over 100 total. Public safety costs associated with the riot were approximately $20,000, while the cost of the property damage was about $250,000, which mostly affected African American-owned businesses. The riot garnered national attention because U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson had been scheduled to speak at a Labor Day ceremony in Dayton the following weekend. The Dayton Daily News would later describe the riot as "one of the city's worst race riots" and "one of the worst riots in Dayton's history". In the years that followed, Dayton would be home to several more race riots, including two in 1967 (one following a speech by civil rights activist H. Rap Brown and another following the police killing of an African American man) and one in 1968 as part of the nationwide King assassination riots. However, of all these, the 1966 riot was the largest. Nationwide, 1966 saw numerous race riots similar to the one in Dayton, with about 44 major American cities experiencing race riots, resulting in seven deaths and about 400 injuries. However, Dayton was one of only five cities, along with Cleveland, Chicago, Milwaukee, and San Francisco, to have the National Guard called in. The following year saw even more riots than in 1966, leading to the U.S. federal government creating the Kerner Commission to study and report on the wave of riots across the country. While no one was ever convicted of Mitchell's murder, a former police officer for Dayton's police department stated in a 2016 article of the Dayton Daily News that he believed it may have been Neal Long, a racist serial killer who targeted African American men in Dayton.
Following the riot, many businesses in west Dayton either relocated out of the area or never reopened, and west Dayton continued to decline economically over the next several decades. Segregation would remain a significant issue in Dayton. In 2002, the city's school district was the last in Ohio to be released from a federal desegregation order, though many of the schools are still highly segregated. As of 2016, according to a report from the Brookings Institution, Dayton was the 14th most segregated large metropolitan area in the United States. Additionally, the city saw marked white flight following the riot, resulting in an overall decline in the population and in increase in the African American population as a percentage of the population. Speaking about the changes to west Dayton following the rioting, politician Rhine McLin (daughter of C. J. McLin, who served as Dayton's mayor from 2002 to 2010) said, "West Dayton today is worse off than west Dayton 50 years ago before the riots. Those areas were punished for rioting". Former NAACP President Jessie Gooding Jr. similarly stated that west Dayton had been economically more vibrant prior to the riot, but offered a different take on the reason for the decline, saying, "What led to their demise? Contrary to popular belief, it was not only the riots, but the highway system first, in my opinion. Before the riots, moves were being made by the city and the state to acquire land on the west side for the highway system. After the riots, when many of the businesses were closed and white flight began in earnest, the promised economic boom to the west side did not happen and small black businesses were affected". However, as of 2016, the area has seen some new economic investment in the form of new businesses and developments.
In 2016, the riot was the subject of a four-part story by the Dayton Daily News called "Lasting Scars", which analyzed both the causes of and the lasting legacy of the riot.

Satish Kumbhani is an Indian financial fraudster. He is the founder of BitConnect.
Background
In 2016, Kumbhani created and developed BitConnect as a blockchain where BCC was the “native token”. He registered for the three initial BitConnect websites with fake names and developed the Lending Program. From November 2016 to January 2017, Kumbhani, through an ICO, sold approximately 5 million BCC of 28 million BCC tokens he created at launch of the BitConnect Blockchain.
Kumbhani promoted BitConnect's Lending Program to prospective investors as a safe, profitable investment with up to 40% interest per month. A referral program with referrals commissions was also implemented which helped spread the Bitconnect scheme. He also organized in person events in Dubai, Santa Clara, and other places where high ranked promoters were rewarded.
According to SEC's investigation, of the approximate 325,000 Bitcoin investors paid to BitConnect, Kumbhani transferred at most only approximately 8% of the Bitcoin directly to any digital asset trading platform. Kumbhani did not disclose to investors that they were keeping funds in their personal control or transferring investor funds to a other means.
On February 25, 2022, a federal grand jury in San Diego indicted Kumbhani for orchestrating a global Ponzi scheme through BitConnect’s Lending Program. Kumbhani was charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to commit commodity price manipulation, operation of an unlicensed money transmitting business, and conspiracy to commit international money laundering.
Lawsuit
In September, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission sued Satish Kumbhani and Glenn Arcaro, who was the major promoter for Bitconnect in the United States.

The Battle of Vasylkiv was a military engagement between the Russian Federation and Ukraine on 26 February 2022, during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Battle
In the early morning of 26 February, paratroopers of the Russian Airborne Forces began landing near the city of Vasylkiv, just south of Kyiv, in an attempt to secure Vasylkiv Air Base. Heavy fighting between the Russian paratroopers and Ukrainian defenders occurred in the city.
According to American and Ukrainian officials, at 01:30, a Ukrainian Su-27 fighter jet shot down a Russian Ilyushin Il-76 carrying paratroopers. At 03:20, a second Il-76 was shot down over the nearby city of Bila Tserkva.
The mayor of Vasylkiv, Natalia Balasynovych, stated that over 200 Ukrainians were wounded in the engagement. She later claimed that Ukrainian forces had repelled the assault by Russian paratroopers on the military air base near the city and the central street, with the situation in the city having calmed down. The Wall Street Journal reported that Ukrainian forces patrolled the city in the morning and were searching for Russian stragglers.
In the early morning of 27 February, a Russian missile struck an oil depot in Vasylkiv, setting it ablaze.

Relandersgrund is a former lightvessel formerly located at the Relanderinmatala shallow in Rauma, Finland.
Structure and equipment
The ship was built from 1886 to 1888 in Turku at the Wm. Crichton & Co. shipyard. The ship's hull is made of steel and fastened with bolts. The ship's measurements are 27.1 × 6.7 × 2.1 metres. The ship has a displacement of 168 tonnes. The ship originally had two masts and sails, a light emission device running on oil and a fog siren running on pressurised air. At the turn of the century the ship was fitted with a boiler for the foghorn, the anchor and heating. The hot-bulb engine operating the foghorn was moved to use an electric generator which powered a searchlight. This device, using an arc lamp rare at the time, was used for maritime pilots. All other lamps on the ship were kerosene lamps.
The ship was unpowered and moved pulled by a tugboat. The sails were usually only raised to lighten the burden on the anchor chain during harsh weather at sea.
As a lightvessel
The ship replaced its wooden, badly deteriorated predecessor Quarken. It was named after its location at the Relanderinmatala shallow. The ship spent almost three decades at its post. In wintertime, the ship was usually tugged to Rauma or to Turku for docking.
Hijacking and sinking
In 1918 the ship was spending the winter in Turku awaiting docking. Because of the ongoing war it had not been towed into its post in summertime for the previous couple of years. In Turku revolutionary Russian seamen hijacked the ship and towed it to the south coast of Finland. When the ship was met with ice hazards too dangerous to navigate past the Russians decided to abandon and sink the ship.
After the war had ended, the Finns surfaced the ship and sent it to Tallinn, Estonia for repairs. However, the ship was so badly deteriorated it could only be used as a deputy lightvessel. The Finns had received a new and better steam-powered lightvessel from Liepāja, Latvia, which became the new lightvessel Helsinki.
As a deputy lightvessel
The old lightvessel was renamed Reserv I and acted as a deputy ship for lightvessels while they were docked. The ship also served as a replacement for the first lightvessel Storbrotten after it had been destroyed by a mine until the ship's successor was completed.
In 1930 the ship was renamed Varamajakka 1 as a Finnish translation of its Swedish name.
As a base ship for sea survey
In 1937 the ship was stripped of its light emission equipment and moved to the 2nd sea survey expedition for a residential and design ship. The ship was first designated MKH 3, but the expedition named it Vuolle, which soon became its official name. The ship's Italian red hulls were repainted white to match the other sea surveying ships. The ship was well suited for sea survey: it was stable, easy to tug and suitably sized and shallow enough to pass through the old locks at the northern end of Lake Saimaa. As Vuolle the ship spent exactly 40 years as a base ship for sea survey.
The ship's previous name Varamajakka 1 was passed on to the former lightvessel Helsingkallan now serving as a deputy ship.
In private use
In 1978 the ship was sold to a junkyard, which decided to renovate the ship as a maritime summer villa instead of scrapping it. The deck was fitted with pitched-roofed deck structures.
In the late 1980s the ship ended up at a junkyard at Koirakari in Hamina. In 1991 the ship was saved from scrapping and was sold to Kotka. It was docked at the Meretehas docks in Tallinn, otherwise it was repaired in private. The deck structures were repaired according to the lightvessel Kemi serving as a museum ship and repainted in their original colours. A freely designed copy of an electrical light tower was placed on the top of the deck. The wheel of the ship was moved from the front of the top deck to the middle in front of the exhaust pipe; it is no longer functional. The ship's rudder was installed to the centre of the ship during renovation; it has retained the possibility for hand steering with a separate handle.
The ship was renamed Relandersgrund after its original name.
The ship's heavy main anchor and secondary anchor, both including their chains, were moved to Kotka at the ship's anchoring site, as they were deemed too heavy to transport along with the ship. In 2012 they were moved to Helsinki to the ship's new permanent post.
Because of cost reasons, the ship was repainted signal red. The ship's chimney is the pipe of the boiler used to power the anchor winch, foghorn and heating of the ship during its service as a lightvessel, which acted as the pipe of the storage water heater during the ship's service as a residential ship. The storage water heater has since been removed.
The café and restaurant ship was moved from Kotka to Helsinki. In October 2005 the ship was towed to the Suomenlinna docks to spend the winter and undergo bottom repairs. In summer 2006 Relandersgrund was moved to its new post at the departure site of the old Korkeasaari zoo ferry at the Meritullintori coast opposite the Finnish Main Guard. The ship had undergone repairs at the Suomenlinna docks also during the winters 2006-2007 and 2007-2008. During the Herring Market the ship has been stationed at the Helsinki Market Square.

The Schevenhütte quarry is a former slate quarry in Stolberg-Schevenhütte. Unique Schevenhütte natural stone was quarried here presumably from the Middle Ages until 2008. In the 20th century until it was closed down, the quarry was called "Kaspar Müller I Quarry". It is located on the northern edge of the Eifel at the southern end of Schevenhütte. Geologically, it is part of the outermost foothills of the Venn saddle, where very old rocks from the latest Ordovician period are exposed. These rocks are the oldest in North Rhine-Westphalia. As a special feature, the so-called "Schevenhütter Schichten" (Schevenhütte strata) dip very straight in the quarry area and were thus worth mining. "Schevenhütter Naturstein" was quarried mainly in two varieties, a greenish and a red variety. Basically, the stone from the middle and upper Wehebach layers was roughly processed and sold on site. The "Schevenhütter Schiefer" (Schevenhütte Slate) was used in a variety of ways throughout the region, including as ornamental and rough building material, but also as walking slabs and as gravestones.
After the closure in 2008, slates still in stock were sold until the middle of 2012. After this time, the site was left to its own resources. The site was neither renaturalised nor restored nor was the slope stabilised. With the end of the swamping in the quarry basin, an endorheic small lake developed over time and the open quarry slope in the east suffers greatly from the lack of supporting rock, which repeatedly causes rock slides, landslides and mass movements.
Today, the quarry is a registered soil heritage site of the Kupferstadt Stolberg because of its outstanding role as a teaching and research object. The site is owned by Laufenburg GmbH and may not be entered due to the acute danger to life caused by the rock slides. The site is fenced off.
Geological classification
Schevenhütte is located in the border area of the Ardennes and the northern Eifel in the valley of the Wehebach, with the Wehebach, as part of the Inde catchment area, draining into the Indemulde to the north. The most prominent part of the Ardennes is the Ardennes anticlinorium with the Rocroi and Stavelot-Venn large saddles. Schevenhütte is located exactly at the north-eastern end of the latter Venn saddle. In the Stavelot-Venn Grand Saddle, there are old rocks. The oldest layers are the Deville layers of the Lower Cambrian, followed by Revin layers of the Middle and Upper Cambrian and then by "Salm" rocks from the lowest Ordovician.
The quarried shales come from "Salm 2" (Sm2), today's Middle and Upper Wehebach strata. This makes the former quarry the site with the oldest exposed rock strata in NRW today. The age is 490 million years, whereby the determination can be made relatively accurately by the fossil of the graptolite species "Dictyonema flabelliforme".
Within the strata of SM2, the quarried siltstone is found in two different predominant forms, which differ mainly in their sandstone content. The greener variety is also called banded shale and is dominated by fine sand- and silt-streaked mudstones, in some of which sanstone beds can be found. Next to it is a redder, more clayey variant without sandstones. The clayey variant increases towards the top and thus the red colouring also becomes stronger. These layers of the Upper Salm occur once more to the south at the headwaters of the Thönbach (a tributary of the Wehebachtalsperre). Thus, the occurrence in this form is limited to the synclinories of the Wehe and the Thönbach. The red colouration of the rock is not completely clarified, although much points to a stronger haematite and manganese oxide content, as solution from the overlying colourful Gedinne layer is no longer considered likely today.
The strata were already deformed during the Kalendonian mountain building in the Silurian and then, clearly visible through tectonic structures, again during the Variscan mountain building in the Carboniferous. The tectonic deformations are particularly well visible along the scarp of the L25 in Schevenhütte, for about 300 m north of the quarry. This rock formation is also a registered archaeological monument. There are mainly north-vergent folds and thrusts dipping to the south. The fold axes run W-E, the slate rock of the Wehebach strata dips S there. The quarry, which is only about 30 metres higher, is clearly less folded. The strata of siltstone and banded schist found here show weak bending of their bedding planes in contrast to the shale-sandstone sequences along the road.
Along the eastern slope of the Wehetal, the bedrock strikes out regularly. Due to the location, the soil formation is not very strong and the cover is thin. Above the edge of the quarry, the soil thickness is at most 30 cm.
Historical context
Historical origins of the area
The Wehe area was settled and mined at the latest in Roman times, probably even earlier. The Wenau monastery was founded as early as 1122. The name shows that the Wehe was already in use at that time. Iron was probably mined in the area of the Rote and Weiße Wehe to the south of Schevenhütte as early as pre-Roman times, but certainly in Roman times. In addition, an old Roman road coming from Kornelimünster ran through Schevenhütte, up through the Wehe valley to the Rennweg in the direction of Düren, which still exists today. The end of the Roman period also marked the end of iron processing for the time being. It was rekindled by the copper masters, who settled in rows along the Wehe. During this period, charcoal burning was also very strong and the slopes of the Wehe valley were almost completely cleared. In Schevenhütte the conditions were very good due to the water power of the Wehe stream, the forests of the Eifel and the ore and stone deposits. Industry did not come to a standstill until the middle of the 19th century.
History of the site
On the Tranchot Map, the map of the Rhineland drawn by the French around 1805, a quarry operation can already be seen at the present location. The inscription on the map is definitely wrong, as the Wittberg lies much further north, but the other localities are correct. The quarry is not to be seen on the Prussian original map, but this is also somewhat less informative in terms of quality. On the new Prussian map and the 1936-1945 TK25 the quarry is clearly visible.
The leasing and use of the quarry during the period of more than 200 years is not completely clear.
It is certain that the quarry was used to procure building materials for the forester's lodge (today Nideggenerstraße 99) near Helenasruh, which was built in 1852. Until the end of the 19th century, the quarry consisted of two smaller quarries. With the construction of the parish church in Schevenhütte around 1890, so much material was quarried that the separating rock bar disappeared and the site could be operated as a single quarry. There is evidence from 1894 of the extraction of large stone slabs in the operation of a local stonemason by the parish priest of Schevenhütte; around the turn of the century a new tenant operated the quarry with two men-servants and two horses each. There is evidence that the quarried slabs were delivered as far away as Aachen Rothe Erde. In 1911, the Stolberg entrepreneur Hans Prym bought the surrounding forest and with it the property of the quarry. Until the First World War, slabs for pavements and the like continued to be exported to the surrounding area of Aachen. After the war, the quarry was dormant until about 1935, when Prym found a new tenant. He employed up to 15 workers. The overburden from the quarry was used by pioneers as a substructure for the road to Düren as part of the construction of the Westwall. Due to a lack of work, quarrying came to a standstill again around 1940.
The course and ownership of the quarry after the Second World War are also unclear. Kaspar Müller presumably took over the quarry operations around the 1950s. From then on, the operation also bore the name "Kaspar Müller I Quarry". At the beginning of the 1980s, he finally bought the quarry site from Laufenburg GmbH. In the 1960s, up to 60 employees were employed and 600-900 t of material were quarried per month; in the 1950s, there were still only about 30 employees and 400-450 t. Quarrying became more and more motorised and the demands on the products also changed several times over the years (see below), but on 30 June 2008 active operations ended at the Kaspar Müller I quarry. The stockpile of stone slabs continued until August 2011. With the cessation of work, the mucking measures in the quarry basin also ended. the site was not left in an orderly manner. The buildings were left unchanged, and the site was neither renaturalised nor secured against rockfalls.
Efforts for other quarry operations
In the 1950s, a new quarry site, Steinbruch Kaspar Müller II, was developed in order to gain greater independence from the lease of the parent quarry. Due to poor rock properties, the quarry never became economically viable and mining ceased again a few years later. Due to the Wehebachtalsperre, the area at the former confluence of the Rote and Weiße Wehe is now in the flood zone.
Another attempt at expansion occurred around the same time near the present-day water treatment of the Wehebachtalsperre in the form of the Schwontzen quarry. Here, too, both the uneconomical nature and the insufficient rock quality led to its swift abandonment.
Operation of the quarry
Quarried rocks
Primarily two varieties of ornamental rock were mined and processed. Even if the lithological description and naming is not quite clean, the commonly used names are given. The grey-green fibrous siltstone is popularly called "Tonschiefer" (clay shale); the red-purple one is called Bänderschiefer (banded shale).
The predominant variety of exposed siltstone is the grey-green to bluish clay-banded siltstone. As described, these rocks are among the oldest in North Rhine-Westphalia and were formerly placed in the Salm 2, although they are more likely to be placed in the lower Salm due to a find of Dictyonema flabelliforme. In various literature these layers are also described as Wehebach layers. The layers in the quarry are relatively little folded, which made quarrying economical.
In the prominent east wall, the clay shales and the banded shales are recognisable with occasional benched sandstones. These sandstone beds can be classified as turbidites, as they partly carry ripple bedding and convolute bedding structures. They have a high carbonate content, which produces the dark brown discolouration during weathering.
Clay slate
The Tonschiefer from the lower Salm (Wehebach layers) is a clay-banded siltstone with a grey-greenish colour. (Walter 2010) The layers of the clay shale are mostly deeper than the banded shale, are much better sorted and partly carry sandstone beds in the rock.
Banded shale
The reddish-purple, more clayey Bänderschiefer without sandy parts tends to be exposed in the upper layers. The red colour is due to an increased manganese oxide and haematite content, which in turn were caused by submarine volcanic ejections and could sediment particularly well at this location. Individual layers of fine sand wedge out of the banded shales, creating a characteristic flashlayer. This can be seen as graded fine stratification on the surfaces of the rocks (see pictures). A very dense bioturbation prevails. Sedimentation of the ribbon shale occurred on a shallow marine delta platform.
Mining methods
Mining was mainly done along the north-south axis of the fault. Starting on the south side, the mining area extends up to 120 m in diameter. Little is known about the mining methods used in earlier years, but the extent of mining should not have been much greater than that of the surrounding smaller hews. It was only with the industrial use of the rock from the 1950s onwards that today's larger mining area developed. As a result, the eastern side, which is so prominent today, was opened up with the individual layers. Mining began on the south side and was carried out using the bench method at a depth of about 100 m at ground level and only about 47 m at the lower level. On the north side and to a certain extent also on the west side, the individual drifts are still recognizable. Due to the almost horizontal bedding of the strata, large blocks could be extracted from the rock again and again. Again and again, boreholes up to 8 m deep were driven and by shooting, the block was loosened from the bond. The explosions were clearly felt in the village.
Processing and use
Due to their good splitting properties, the broken blocks were mostly used as pavement slabs or low precision cut construction methods such as dry stone walls. The nearby Laufenburg contains small portions of the broken material in its masonry from 1217. Even in the Middle Ages, therefore, the slabs were quarried using simple tools such as pickaxes and crowbars, and prepared for use in a rudimentary way with chisels, fistfuls and lumps. Towards the end of the 19th century, the stone in particular was worked somewhat finer and shaped into elongated cuboids for buildings and used in irregular masonry. In the middle of the 20th century, large, mighty slabs were also processed as work stones on gables and the like. In later times, the natural stone was mainly used as clinker and was therefore sold treated with a stone saw with small thicknesses. From this time onwards, solid stones were often used as gravestones, but were not easy for stonemasons to work with due to the stone's properties.
After the decommissioning
After the final closure in 2012, the site was not properly decommissioned. The buildings remained standing and the demolition edges etc. were neither renaturalised nor secured. The area was frequently visited for a while, but is now completely fenced off and may not be entered.
After the site was abandoned, the pump in the south of the site was exposed and the excavation pond began to fill with groundwater, presumably from two stories, and rainwater. After a few years it had reached the height of the factory site and was threatening to run down the slope into the valley. This was successfully countered by pumping out and draining.
The buildings left behind quickly became the object of vandalism. Large parts of the site are now sprayed with graffiti and the tools were either looted or destroyed with great force. Much of the old equipment, laced with oil and other things, was thrown into the lake and so it was permanently damaged as a habitat. All access points to the site are now fenced off and may not be entered due to the acute danger to life.
Nature
Since the site was not properly decommissioned, the facilities are still there and the sealing of the ground was not removed. Nevertheless, the site became a habitat worth protecting in the period after the closure.
Ducks regularly swim and rest on the lake in the centre, and the lake is often used as a stopover during goose migration periods. The warmth and the dry rocks in combination with the lake provide a good habitat for grass snakes. At the transition between the lake and the factory site in the north-east, there is a wet, very shallow reed area due to the high water level, in which several toad species live.
In the first years after closure, the rocky outcrops were home to an eagle owl, which, however, can no longer be found there due to vandalism and constant disturbances.
Rock stability
During mining, a pump ran permanently to pump out the escaping groundwater (presumably from two different groundwater levels) and to enable operation. Along the east wall, a steep wall was created that is now about 40 metres high, which opens up the different strata. During mining, the difference in height would have been about 50-55 metres, as the lake could not yet compensate for the difference. Due to the lack of supporting rocks, the rock units above the stone wall are tilting in sometimes very large break-off movements. The eastern wall can be divided into three areas due to anthropogenic interventions and natural conditions:
The boulder of sandstone, in the south of the quarrying area, adjacent to the east wall.
The east wall, which was partially blasted away in the summer of 2021
Remnant shale at the northern edge of the main wall, which was not blasted off and is now slipping away.
The NE break-off edge
The southern rock wedge between the southern and eastern break-off edge consists of strongly sandy mudstones and was therefore not worth quarrying. The edge was therefore not quarried and stands quite exposed.
Blasted middle area
The large east wall, the most prominent feature of the quarry, was in danger of collapsing soon after closure. Small rockfalls occurred several times and a cone of debris already formed at the foot of the steep face, protruding from the approximately 15-metre-deep lake in the quarry basin. Here, the most obvious tilting movements of the steep face could be seen, which formed a 5-6 m wide and 60 m long break-off area. The crack in the top of the rock was so strong that it was even clearly visible in the digital terrain model (DTM) with a resolution of 1 × 1 m. The height of the break-off area went down to the next stable layer of clay shale about 20 m from the ground level. In rainy periods, a groundwater table also emerges here and drains into the lake. Occasionally, the demolition wedge was still held in place by the vegetation, especially the roots of trees.
Even though the large gap had withstood the extreme stress of the great flood in July 2021, the rock edge was still blasted as a precaution. In preparation, the lake was pumped empty above ground and drained into the Wehebach. In addition, the terrain was torn up and a new fixed hose was laid. Furthermore, on the day of the blasting itself, an additional protective dam was heaped up against the feared flood wave.
The blasting was planned and carried out by the Cologne district government. The force of the explosion and the subsequent mass movement was felt throughout the village of Schevenhütte. Since the blast, many smaller stones have been crumbling into the lake and there have been several small landslides. Due to the lack of supporting rocks, parts from the north of the east wall are caving in and threatening to fall.
NW break-off edge
The largest rockfall could be controlled by the blasting, but as a result of the lack of supporting rock, smaller rock outcrops of clearly banded clay slate are now consecutively breaking off and forming new clear rock jumps. Here, too, large chunks break off, even if they are not as high as those on the east wall or on the sandstone wedge. The tilting is directed towards the south into the free area of the blasted-off area. Two blocks, each about 4 m long and 3 m wide, have already sunk several centimetres from the top of the rock and are completely surrounded by fissures several metres deep to the east and north. The area north of the two larger boulders is also involved in this tilting movement and is also in danger of collapsing.

Myostation inhibitors are a class of medications that exhibit anti-myostatin properties. Myostatin inhibitors inhibit the myostatin pathway. Myostatin, also known as growth differentiation factor 8, abbreviated GDF-8 or GDF8, is a key regulator of muscle homeostasis. Mutations that cause loss of myostatin, as well as pharmacological inhibition of myostatin activities, have shown to increase muscle growth in a number of species, including human. Such validations have prompted numerous groups over the last twenty years to develop an antagonist of the myostatin pathway as a therapeutic to treat muscle conditions, such as disuse atrophy, sarcopenia, and cachexia.
Myostation inhibitors are in most cases derived from follistatin, and are monoclonal antibodies. Follistatin has been shown to exhibit potent anti-myostatin effects, but are deemed dangerous to high risks of cardiomegaly in mice.

Vitalii Volodymyrovych Skakun (; 19 August 1996 – 24 February 2022) was a Ukrainian marine combat engineer.
Early life
Skakun was born 19 August 1996 in Berezhany. He attended No. 3 Brzezany where his mother was a teacher. Skakun graduated from Higher Vocational School in Lviv No. 20 where he studied to be a welder. Skakun graduated from Lviv Polytechnic.
Career
During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Skakun's battalion was deployed to protect the town of Henichesk, located near the Isthmus of Perekop. As a Russian armored column approached the position, Ukrainian forces decided to destroy the Henichesk bridge, in order to slow the advance of Russian troops advancing northward from Crimea during the Kherson offensive. Skakun, a combat engineer, volunteered to place mines on the bridge.
On 24 February 2022, after placing the explosives, Skakun lacked time to withdraw from the bridge and, after texting his intentions to his fellow soldiers, detonated the mines killing himself and destroying the bridge. His actions slowed the Russian advance allowing his battalion time to regroup.
On 26 February 2022, Skakun was posthumously awarded the Order of the Gold Star, the military version of the title of Hero of Ukraine, by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
On 28 February 2022, the Czech representative of one of Prague's city districts, Libor Bezděk, proposed to rename a bridge in Korunovační street, which is the address of the Russian embassy, to Vitalij Skakun bridge. The proposal was accepted by the district and was forwarded to Prague City Council.

L.V. Hull (1942-2008) was an American assemblage artist. She was born in 1942 in McAdams, Mississippi. She spent many years in Kosciusko, Mississippi. A self-taught artist, she began painting and assembling objects in her home and garden in 1975. Among the objects assembled are painted hubcaps, shoes and signs. L.V. Hull died in 2008.
After her death attempts were made to preserve the site and the objects, but despite a grant from the American Folklore Society, involvement of the Mississippi Arts Commission, and the formation of the The Friends of L.V. the project was not a success. The house was in disrepair and ownership was questionable. In the process of sorting out ownership, the house fell into further disrepair. The Friends of L.V. took photographs to document how the house and garden appeared when Hull was alive and many of the art objects were moved to Kosciusko city hall.
Vaughn Sills' 2001 photograph of her garden is in the Smithsonian American Art Museum. It is part of the series Places for the Spirit, Traditional African American Gardens of the South.

Andrée Michel (22 September 1920 – 8 February 2022) was a French sociologist, feminist, anticolonialist, and antimilitarist.
Sociology
After earning a law degree from Aix-Marseille University, Michel studied philosophy at Grenoble Alpes University and became a secondary school teacher. Following the Liberation of France, she moved to Paris and earned a doctorate in sociology from Panthéon-Sorbonne University in 1959. She began to focus on discussions of discrimination, gender and class inequalities, militarization, and citizenship. Her first publication covered the conditions for Algerian workers in France.
A resident of Montreuil from 1950, Michel shared her daily life with migrant workers, prostitutes, and working-class families. In 2007, she noted that "today, the poor have as much difficulty finding accommodation in the capital as fifty years ago". She joined the French National Centre for Scientific Research in 1951 and taught abroad at multiple universities in the United States, Algeria, Canada, Latin America, and Belgium.
Feminism
An outspoken feminist activist, Michel joined and . In 1965, she participated in the Mouvement démocratique féminin alongside , , Gisèle Halimi, Colette Audry, and Évelyne Sullerot. In 1973, Michelle Perrot hosted the first course on women's history in France at the Jussieu Campus. Michel was in attendance at the conference "La femme et la famille dans les sociétés développées".
Michel was the author of La femme et la famille dans les sociétés développée, as well as Le Féminisme, which was published in Que sais-je? in 1980. She was heavily critical of the existing patriarchy in France.
Anticolonialism and antimilitarism
During the Algerian War, Michel was a part of the Jeanson network and testified at trial in favor of those charged with crimes. She was known to have suggested to Charlotte Delbo that she publish the book that became known as Auschwitz and After. She was the first woman to work as a human researcher at the Groupement des scientifiques pour l'information sur l'énergie nucléaire and joined forces with Monique Sené in 1985 to publish texts on the relationship between militarization and violence against women. Outraged by in Tahiti and New Caledonia, she showed solidarity with victims of the tests in those regions.
Michel began studying the military–industrial complex, a term which she was one of the first French authors to use. Her texts on this issue served as a precursor to her works on intersectionality. In 1984, she declared that "In 1980, when I began research on militarization, I called myself a pacifist […]. Today, I prefer to declare myself an anti-militarist". In 1990, she created the network Citoyennes pour la paix, which sent thousands of signatures to the United Nations Security Council to vote against the Gulf War. In 1995, she published Justice et vérité pour la Bosnie-Herzégovine, expressing her anger against the Srebrenica massacre and those who contributed to the Bosnian Genocide. In Surarmement, pouvoir, démocratie, she explained how the patriarchy used the notions "security" and "national defense" to oppress women. In Citoyennes militairement incorrectes, she illustrated the large profits received by the military-industrial complex throughout the 20th Century. According to the book's preface by Jules Falquet, "What we spend on weapons is always that much less for music, poetry or the decongestion of the courts which set the amounts of alimony".
Death
Michel died on 8 February 2022, at the age of 101.

Nerang–Murwillumbah Road is a continuous road route in the Gold Coast region of Queensland, Australia. The entire road is signed as State Route 97. Nerang–Murwillumbah Road (number 201) is a state-controlled district road, rated as a local road of regional significance (LRRS).
Route Description
The Nerang–Murwillumbah Road commences at an intersection with Beaudesert–Nerang Road and Mount Nathan Road (State Route 90) in . The road runs south-west, passing the south-eastern tip of and then that of , while following the north-western boundary of . It passes the exit to Beechmont Road as it turns south into Advancetown, and soon passes the exit to Advancetown–Mudgeeraba Road (Latimers Crossing Road) (State Route 42). The road again turns south-west, passing through Advancetown village before reaching the north-western extremity of Advancetown Lake, the body of water retained by the Hinze Dam.
The road continues in a southerly direction, following the western shore of the lake, until it reaches the south-western extremity. Here it crosses the Nerang River and passes the exit to Gold Coast–Springbrook Road (Pine Creek Road). It follows the river generally south through to , crossing it on two more occasions. It then leaves the river and follows a ridge line, climbing until it reaches the Queensland / New South Wales border, where it ends. The physical road continues into New South Wales as Numinbah Road (Tourist Drive 34).
Land use along the road is primarily rural, with much natural bushland.
Road condition
Nerang–Murwillumbah Road is fully sealed. It has about with an incline greater than 5%, about greater than 10%, and about grater than 15%. The height above sea level at the border crossing is .
History
The township of Nerang was surveyed in 1865. It became important to the surrounding district because it was the head of navigation on the Nerang River and the site of the first crossing for wheeled vehicles. From 1871 a Cobb & Co coach service ran from Brisbane, and river transport became more regular. The first industry to flourish was timber cutting, later followed by dairying and crop farming as tracts of native timber were cleared. The railway arrived in 1889.
Timber cutting began in Numinbah Valley soon after cedar was discovered there in 1845, and in the Advancetown area in the 1870s, with a saw mill established in 1881. Bullock teams hauled timber to Nerang for dispatch to customers, at first by ship and later by train. The village of Advancetown began as a rest stop for the bullock teams. In the 1860s surveyors mapping the Queensland / New South Wales border discovered a route from Numinbah Valley to the Tweed Valley in New South Wales. This, combined with the clearance of timber, led to settlers moving into the area.
The road first cut for bullock teams became a necessity for settlers, and improvements were made to support the operation of new farms.

All distances are from Google Maps. The entire route is in the Gold Coast local government area.

Clark is a dormant submarine volcano located off the northern coast of New Zealand.
History
The first evidence of the existence of Clark was found during 1988 GLORIA side-scan mapping. These interpretations were later confirmed via photography and oceanic dredging in early 1992 during the 3-week Rapuhia cruise.
In 2006, during a New Zealand-American NOAA Vents Program expedition, sulfide chimneys and diffuse hydrothermal venting were observed.
There have been no known eruptions of Clark.
