# Roman goose

The Roman goose is an Italian breed of domestic goose. It is said to be one of the oldest breeds of goose, bred more than 2000 years ago and originally sacred to the goddess Juno.
These are a light weight smaller breed of geese with a tuft of feathers on their head. They are either solid white or spotted white and brown.

## History

Sometime in the early 4th century BC, as the Gauls attempted to sneak into Rome under cover of night, it is said that the honking of Roman geese alerted the Romans and saved the capitol. In honour of this, the Romans later founded a temple to Juno, to whom the geese were considered sacred. Geese were also revered in the supplicia canum annual sacrifice.

## Description

These are a light weight smaller breed of geese with a tuft of feathers on their head. These geese are only admitted if they are solid white. No marking is allowed for them to be considered Roman Tuft. Roman Tuft consist of solid white, but some can have brown or tan spots. They show rosy pink beaks and feet or red-orange. All have bright blue eyes. The goose is of medium length and weight and generally long neck. Roman tuft are a generally docile breed and good watch-geese.

### Uses

In the modern period, it is kept for a range of purposes such as for meat and eggs depending on location. It is a popular exhibition breed in North America, where it is more commonly known as the tufted Roman goose and possesses a crest. In Europe, it is primarily kept as a utility meat breed, while in Australia, they are used for both purposes. Crests are optional in Europe and Australia. The breed has also been recommended as a guard goose.

### Eggs

Roman geese can live up to 25 years and lay between 25 and 35 eggs per year. An egg takes 28 to 30 days for incubation. If you continuously take their eggs they will lay more than the average amount.
These geese will begin to lay early spring. During this time the head gander will become aggressive.

### Showing

Tufted Roman geese are also bred for showing. In shows, Roman geese with clean, pure white feathers and a large paunch are preferred, while red feet and read beaks are disfavored. Females have larger paunches, especially during laying season.

# Marc Byrd

Carey Marcus "Marc" Byrd (born 1970) is an American musician, writer, and producer best known as one-half of the post-rock/ambient duo Hammock with Andrew Thompson.
Since its formation in 2005, Hammock has released ten full-length albums and five EPs. One review of Hammock's 2013 record Oblivion Hymns remarked that Hammock "...has gone on to become one of the foremost purveyors of affecting ambient post-rock on the scene." Byrd was also involved in the 2006 ambient art project The Sleepover Series, Volume One, which featured five solo tracks written and performed by Byrd.
After an impromptu invitation to give their first-ever live performance as Hammock at the overseas debut art exhibition of Riceboy Sleeps, the artistic collaboration between Jón Þór (Jónsi) Birgisson (lead singer and guitarist of Sigur Rós) and Alex Somers (graphic designer and member of the band Parachutes), Byrd and Thompson wrote brand-new songs to celebrate the occasion, an undertaking which evolved into their album, Maybe They Will Sing for Us Tomorrow (Darla Records).
In December 2010, Hammock released their fourth EP titled Longest Year, a "mini-album" that was born out of the difficulty the band faced in 2010, including the near-total destruction of Byrd's home in the 2010 Tennessee floods.
As a member of Hammock, Byrd has collaborated with singer/songwriters such as Matthew Ryan and Matthew Perryman Jones.
Prior to the formation of Hammock, Byrd fronted the alternative rock band Common Children, as well as the band GlassByrd with his wife Christine Glass. Byrd has worked with The Choir, producing their album O How the Mighty Have Fallen. Byrd co-wrote the worship song "God of Wonders".

# Ibadan Christmas funfair crowd crush

On 18 December 2024, 35 children died in a crowd crush during a Christmas funfair event in Ibadan, Nigeria. The incident occurred at the Bashorun district's Islamic High School, where thousands of children and family members had gathered for advertised cash handouts and food distributions. Six other children required hospitalization following the disaster.

## Background

A Christmas funfair event taking place on 18 December 2024 at the Bashorun district's Islamic High School was organized by local figure Olori Naomi Silekunola, the Women In Need Of Guidance and Support Foundation, and Agidigbo 88.7 FM. The free event, which had been held in previous years, targeted children aged 0-13 years and advertised distributions of 5,000 naira (~US$3.20) to 5,000 children, free food, and event prizes which included scholarships. Offerings of financial assistance were noted to have drawn particular attention due to Nigeria's ongoing economic crisis, which had been characterized as the nation's worst in a generation.

## Tragedy

Attendees began arriving at the funfair as early as 5:00 AM, five hours before the scheduled start time. Reports indicated that over 5,000 children assembled at the venue. The fatal crush occurred when the event organizers arrived to commence proceedings, though the exact sequence of events remains under investigation.
Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde reported that security agents were deployed to the site in order to restore security following the stampede. Medical facilities across Ibadan received multiple victims of the crush. At one hospital, medical staff reported six admissions with only two survivors. Another facility confirmed three fatalities.

## Aftermath

Police arrested eight individuals connected to the event, including the primary organizer, Naomi Silekunola, and the school principal. The organizing body of the event, The Women In Need Of Guidance and Support Foundation, faced immediate scrutiny over their role in the tragedy.
President Bola Tinubu ordered a comprehensive investigation, and expressed condolences to affected families. The case was subsequently transferred to the Homicide Section of the State Criminal Investigation Department, and was placed under the direct supervision of the deputy commissioner of police.
Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ife, issued a statement expressing condolences to affected families, promised to support any community healing and grieving efforts, and offered support to his former wife Olori Naomi Silekunola. He acknowledged her history of organizing similar charitable events in Ile Ife during her time as queen and encouraged that such charitable events continue with improved safety measures.
