# David M. Kramer (politician)

David M. Kramer (born c. 1920) is an American former politician.
Outside of politics, Kramer worked as a proofreader for The New York Times. He was the Democratic Party district leader for a portion of New York's 26th State Assembly district. He ran for that seat in February 1986, as a special election was scheduled, necessitated by Julia Harrison's election to the New York City Council and subsequent resignation from the New York State Assembly. Kramer placed ahead of accountant Philip Ragusa, a fusion candidate backed by the Republican and Conservative Parties, and Vincent J. Dwyer, a teacher and member of the Democratic Party contesting the election as a political independent. Though he was considered likely to step down after completing Harrison's legislative term, Kramer, backed by Alan Hevesi, instead contested a party primary to seek the Democratic nomination for a full term. The four candidates for the primary were Kramer, Dwyer, Bruce Eiber, and Morton C. Hillman. Kramer finished approximately 300 votes behind Hillman, and was the only incumbent state assembly member to lose a primary during the 1986 election cycle.
# Lepa Brena: Godine Slatkog greha

Lepa Brena: Godine Slatkog greha is a 2017 documentary film about Yugoslav singer Lepa Brena. The film documents the events since the beginning of Brena's career in 1982 until the breakup of Yugoslavia in 1991.

## Synopsis

The biggest Balkan star Lepa Brena in the documentary speaks about the famous but also reveals and yet unknown details from her biography. From childhood in Brčko, growing up in the working family to the achievement of the most successful career in the former Yugoslavia. How she built the brand, what was the role of her manager Raka Đokić, in the success of Lepa Brena and Slatki greh and how it looked like a tour that lasted for 9 years. The film is featured by prominent artists and public workers of a time brought by artists like Lepa Brena today. The film begins with her anecdote from the elementary school when an unknown man predicted her great popularity and would be known as Tito. For Brena, this documentary is an emotional story about her life, a reminder of the time in which we all lived happily and in which they wanted to portray sociological, cultural and economic opportunities at that time. "I wanted to show how it looked between 1982 and 1991 when we were "Slatki greh" and I worked two concerts a day and recorded four films. With special emotions I remember how it was to work with top actors, but also how it was with 20, 30, and even 50 men on the bus for years on tour. They were my family. This is a story about how to start from a small place, like a girl from the province, doing great things and staying dignified in your business" — said Lepa Brena. In the eighties Lepa Brena and "Slatki greh" were the most influential performers in the history of Yugoslav discography, selling up to one million copies per album. They are also world record holders in the number of concerts held at the Dom sindikata during concert residency Lepa Brena Live at Dom sindikata, where they performed for 31 days without end.

# Malawi Terror Beast

The Malawi terror beast refers to a possibly rabid spotted hyena which killed at least three people and severely injured 16 others in the central Dowa district, some 100 kilometres (62 mi) from Lilongwe, in 2003.

## History
### Attacks

The incidents occurred in 2003. A spotted hyena was reportedly infected with the rabies virus and began displaying the typically concerning symptoms of the disease, soon developing into a more deranged and deadly beast. After being seen near the central Dowa district, at least 4,000 people fled from the area (and from at least four nearby villages) to seek refuge at a community hall located inside the district headquarters. The hyena would terrorize several heavily populated areas; attacked survivors would bear life-altering injuries and serious disfigurement, ranging from hands being chewed off to losing their ears, eyes, fingers, toes and feet during their respective struggles, in addition to various bite wounds and scratches. One woman reportedly had her lips and nose bitten off by the animal.
One local eyewitness reported a similar 2002 incident, stating that the attacks in 2003 mirrored a previous case of a rabid spotted hyena—one that had displayed similarly concerning behaviors. This hyena was ultimately responsible for the deaths of five people, and the maiming of at least 20 more. Wildlife officials positively identified the beast as a rabid spotted hyena, at which time it was tracked, located and shot by game rangers and paramilitary police; killing the hyena was for the public’s immediate safety as well as to put the hyena out of its own misery.
