# Seyitgazi

Seyitgazi is a municipality and district of Eskişehir Province, Turkey. Its area is 1,578 km$^2$, and its population is 12,587 (2022). The central town of Seyitgazi lies at a distance of 43 km (27 mi) towards the south from the province capital of Eskişehir. The town was known formerly as Nakoleia.

## History

The town occupies the site of the Byzantine city of Nakoleia which is attested from Roman times.
After the town was conquered by the Seljuk Turks, it was known as Kala'-i-Mashihya, the Christian Castle. During that time the old monastic centre dedicated to the archangel Michael was converted into a shrine to the 8th-century Muslim saint (seyyid) and warrior Battal Gazi, who allegedly fell in a battle nearby in 740. The town was eventually renamed after Battal Gazi.
From 1867 until 1922, Seyitgazi was part of Hüdavendigâr vilayet.

## Places of interest

A complex (Turkish: külliye) dedicated to Battal Gazi and containing his tomb, a mosque, a medrese, cells and ceremonial rooms for dervishes as well as charitable services for the community such as kitchens and a bakery were built in 1208 on a hill overlooking the town by Ümmühan Hatun, wife of the Seljuk sultan Gıyaseddin Keyhüsrev I and further extended in 1511 by the Ottoman sultan Bayezid II. The shrine and the adjoining complex remain popular with local as well as foreign visitors.

## Archaeological discoveries

In August 2019, researchers headed by Prof. Murat Türkteki announced the discovery of two skeletons dating back about 5,000 years in the same sarcophagus in Early Bronze Age settlement Küllüoba. Excavators assumed that one of the skeletons was a 13-year-old girl and other was a man in his late 30s.
In August 2020, archaeologists headed by Prof. Murat Türktaki revealed a 5,000-year-old paint palette made of stone in the Seyitgazi district at the Küllüoba site. According to Türktaki, this palette was used for painting dishes.
In March 2021, construction workers found a marble sarcophagus which is 1.5 meters long and 33 centimetres wide in the Seyitgazi district at the Küllüoba site.

# Danny Boxshall

Daniel Boxshall (2 April 1920 – 5 November 2009) was an English footballer who played as a winger. He made over 140 Football League appearances in the years after the Second World War.

## Career

After retiring from football Boxshall was an insurance agent for Prudential in Chelmsford for 25 years before retiring in April 1981. He then moved back to Shipkley in Yorkshire.
Boxshall was signed as a professional without having been seen by any of the Queens Park Rangers club officials. He was signed and played in a New Year's Day match on the recommendation of having won the Military Medal. Boxshall was learning how to make pianos, but when he was near the end of the course, Union officials said it was not fair that he should have two jobs. Football became his means of livelihood.

## Personal life

Earlier, in late March 1945, Boxshall, serving as an acting sergeant of the 53rd Reconnaissance Regiment, Royal Armoured Corps, won the Military Medal while in charge of a Bren gun crew during the Western Allied invasion of Germany. Boxshall was commanding the lead reconnaissance car after his troop had been ordered to seize a bridge over the River Berkel in the town of Vreden. As he approached the bridge, his car was engaged by German soldiers, but Boxshall ordered his driver to accelerate towards the enemy. The vehicle sped towards the bridge, Boxshall firing his Bren gun, and the remaining defenders threw down their arms and surrendered without destroying the valuable crossing point. The recommendation spoke of his 'boldness and dash...without any consideration for his personal safety'.

# Levie

Levie (French pronunciation:; Corsican: Livìa) is a commune in the French department of Corse-du-Sud, collectivity of Corsica, France. The ruined Bronze Age fortified village Cucuruzzu is situated in the commune.
# Kruzof Island

57°10′14″N 135°40′29″W﻿ / ﻿57.17056°N 135.67472°W﻿ / 57.17056; -135.67472
Kruzof Island (Russian: остров Крузов) is an island in the Alexander Archipelago in southeastern Alaska. It is about 16 km (10 mi) west of Sitka, and is part of the City and Borough of Sitka. It was named in 1805 by Captain U.T. Lisianski as Crooze Island, after a Russian Admiral. It hosts the region's only volcano, Mount Edgecumbe.
In 1849, Captain Tebenkov recorded the Tlingit name for the island as being Tlikh.

## Naming history

Before being named by Lisianski, it was called San Jacinto after its highest point, Mount Edgecumbe, was named Montaña de San Jacinto by Don Juan de la Bodega y Quadra in 1775. La Pérouse referred to that name by calling the island St. Hyacinthe. Captain Nathaniel Portlock named the island Pitt Island in 1787. Early Russian traders called it Sitka Island. In 1849, Constantin Grewingk called the island Edgecumbe. It later became known as Kruzow Island before finally becoming Kruzof Island.

## Geography

The island is 37 km (23 mi) long and 13 km (8.1 mi) wide with a land area of 167.47 sq mi (433.7 km$^2$), making it the 41st largest island in the United States. The island is formed in part by Mount Edgecumbe, a small, dormant stratovolcano, and several volcanic cones and collapsed cones that make up its volcanic field.

## Human importance

Kruzof Island does not have a permanent resident population. There is a maintained trail leading from Fred's Creek cabin, a United States Forest Service cabin on the inside coast, to the summit of Mount Edgecumbe, as well as several trails across the island.
In January 1813, the Russian exploration ship Neva wrecked just off the island. The survivors made it to shore and established a camp where they subsisted until rescued about a month later. The site of the wreck, and also the survival camp has since been found.
Kalinin Bay, on the northern shore of the island, provided the name for the World War II United States Navy escort aircraft carrier USS Kalinin Bay. From the 1950s through the 1970s, forests on Kruzof Island were the source for clearcut timber extraction.

Two days after the crash, a minute of silence was observed before Hartlepool's away match against arch-rivals Darlington. Allegedly, sections of the Darlington crowd chanted throughout the minute of silence, and what followed was a very bad-tempered match Hartlepool eventually won 2–1.
