# Disappearance of Julie Weflen

Julie Ann Weflen (born May 3, 1959) is a missing woman who was last seen on September 16, 1987. She disappeared from her workplace in Spokane County, Washington. Her case is considered a presumed homicide although her body has never been found and there are still no suspects. In 2004, true crime author Ann Rule dedicated an entire chapter about Weflen's abduction in her book Kiss Me, Kill Me.

## Disappearance

Weflen worked as an operator for the Bonneville Power Administration in Spokane, Washington. She parked her minivan in the gravel lot along Four Mound Road and logged into the Spring Hill Substation near Riverside State Park at 2 p.m. on the day she disappeared. BPA workers have stated that she probably finished work and returned to the minivan about 3:45 p.m.
Weflen was last seen heading toward a substation at Four Mound and Coulee Hite Road. Her hard hat, toolbox, a water bottle, and a pair of sunglasses were located on the ground beside her truck and the driver's side door and back hatch were found open. Her purse was discovered in the rig where she had worked.

## Investigation and aftermath

A reward of $25,000 has been issued for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or people involved in Weflen's disappearance. Since she disappeared, the BPA and local law enforcement officials have received plenty of information, but nothing has ever helped in finding her.
Weflen's former co-worker, John Polos, has hypothesised that her abduction may have been connected to other unsolved cases involving similar-looking women in the Spokane–Coeur d'Alene area at the same time; this theory has not been definitely proven by law enforcement who have ruled out serial killers Robert Lee Yates and Gary Ridgway as suspects. Weflen's mother died in 2006.

# Terry Fox (baseball)

Terrence Edward Fox (born July 31, 1935) is an American former right-handed Major League Baseball relief pitcher/closer who played seven MLB seasons from 1960 to 1966 for the Milwaukee Braves, Detroit Tigers and Philadelphia Phillies.
Fox played at Thornton Township High School in Harvey, Illinois, graduating in 1953. He signed with the Braves organization before the 1956 season. He made his MLB debut for the Braves on September 4, 1960, pitching two-thirds of an inning against the Cincinnati Reds. He pitched in a total of 5 games for the Braves in his rookie season, posting a 4.32 ERA.
In December of 1960, he was traded along with Dick Brown, Bill Bruton and Chuck Cottier from the Braves to the Tigers for Frank Bolling and Neil Chrisley. Serving as the team’s closer in 1961 and 1962, he led the team in ERA while finishing in the top 5 of saves in the AL. He is also notable for giving up Roger Maris' 58th home run of 1961.
He continued as the team’s closer through 1965, paving the team in saves each year. However, he was sold to the Phillies in 1966 after posting a paltry 6.30 ERA in his first 4 games. In his final 36 games with them that season, he posted a 4.47 ERA.
Overall, he went 29–19 in his career with 59 saves and a 2.99 ERA. As a batter, he struck out in 40 of his 65 career at-bats, batting just .123 (3 of his 8 career hits were for extra-bases, though). He committed 7 errors in his career for a .942 fielding percentage.
Now retired, Fox lives in New Iberia, Louisiana.
# Wojciech Chrzanowski

Wojciech Chrzanowski (14 January 1793 – 26 February 1861) was a Polish general who participated in Napoleon's Russian campaign and in the battles of Leipzig, Paris, and Waterloo. After Napoleon's final defeat he served in the national army of Poland, and served in the Imperial Russian Army under Hans Karl von Diebitsch against the Ottoman Empire in 1828/29. He was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Order of Virtuti Militari.
Chrzanowski was born on 14 January 1793 in Biskupice. He was made Governor of Warsaw in 1831. He was suspected of being untrustworthy in his conduct with the Russians and was shunned by many of the people, emigrating to Paris at the end of 1831.
In 1841 he was in the service of the British government. Lord Palmerston sent him to assist the Ottoman military reforms, acting as a British military attaché in the field.
Charles Albert, King of Sardinia, called Chrzanowski after the armistice that concluded the 1848 campaign of the First Italian War of Independence as Chief of Staff of the Piedmontese army; this caused friction in the ranks, as he was largely seen as the King's creature, and his figure and attitude did not command much respect. After Eusebio Bava was removed as General in Chief, he was officially named Generale maggiore (Major general, not a rank but a title for the head of staff) for the upcoming campaign (although de facto he would lead the army). The 1849 campaign was however a complete failure, as he was outmaneuvered and defeated by Josef Radetzky in the Battle of Novara. General Girolamo Ramorino was blamed for the defeat, and subsequently executed; however Chrzanowski did not escape censure and was dismissed from Sardinian service. He lived for a time in Louisiana but died in Paris (26 February 1861). He published several works in Polish.

In addition, she served in a number of leadership positions with different sections and committees of the American Bar Association, and as a member of its Board of Governors and House of Delegates. Moreover, Garvey helped form the State Bar of California's Taxation Section, from which she also received the Section's lifetime achievement award in 1994—the Joanne M.

# Motława ferry disaster

The Motława ferry disaster was a cable ferry shipwreck that happened on 1 August 1975 on the Motława in the city of Gdańsk, causing 18 deaths among the passengers.

## Background

At the time of the sinking, St. Dominic's Fair was happening in Gdańsk, causing an influx of tourists into the city. In the northern area of the city centre, between Wiosna Ludów and Sienna Grobla Streets, a cable ferry service operated on the Motława. At times during the fair, it was reported that the ferries running the route were handling up to 75 passengers at once. The ferry involved in the sinking, ferry no. 2, had a tin roof amidships, as well as tarpaulin walls. However, it had no ballast tanks.

## Sinking

At 2:45 p.m. CEST (UTC+02:00) on 1 August 1975, the ferry, commanded by ferryman Jerzy Kozłowski, docked in Sienna Grobla and boarded a new load of 40 passengers for the voyage to Wiosny Ludów. However, the voyage was delayed by traffic in the Motława River—first, by a passing motorboat of the Milicja Obywatelska, then by the charter cruise ship Lucyna. The wave that the passing of these ships caused resulted in the ferry being pushed away from its dock and down the cables.
At the same time, the Żegluga Gdańska [pl] cruise ship Maryla was sailing down the Motława, in the ferry's vicinity. Kozłowski panicked and clamped the grip of the ferry's propulsion mechanism onto the cable, hoping to guide it back to shore, but he also tightened the cable with the motion. As Maryla passed near ferry no. 2, it snagged the tightened cable and pulled the ferry down, causing it to sink within a minute. Several passengers survived, but many others were sucked down with the ship, or given no chance of escape because of the tin roof above them preventing it.

## Aftermath

Immediately after the ferry sank, rescue operations began. The captain of the Maryla, as well as a few nearby vessels, began aiding survivors. For the next 2 days, bodies were recovered from the wreck until all 18 dead were found. 15 of the bodies were found attached to the ceiling of the vessel. The ferryman was sentenced to 11 months in prison in January 1977.
# Fred L. Hadsel

Fred Latimer Hadsel (March 11, 1916 Oxford, Ohio – April 11, 2010 Lexington, Virginia) was an American Career Foreign Service Officer who served as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Somalia (1969-1971 and Ghana (1971-1974).
Hadsel earned his undergraduate degree at Miami University, where his father was a professor of Latin, and a master's degree in history and international relations from Clark University and a doctoral degree in European history from the University of Chicago. He was married to Winifred Nelson Hadsel, and had three daughters (Mary Christine, Winifred, and Jane), and six grandchildren (Ruth Huffman, David Huffman, Tim Hadsel-Mares, Nick Hadsel-Mares, William Spooner, and Katharine Spooner).
# Oseam

Oseam or Oseam Temple is a small Korean Buddhist temple located in the area of Mangyeongdae Pavilion, Mount Seorak, Gangwon Province, South Korea. It is an annex of Baekdamsa Temple which is the head temple of the third district in the Jogye Order.
Oseam was first established as Gwaneumam (觀音庵) by Monk Jajang in 643, the 12th year of Queen Seondeok's reign during the Silla Kingdom and Monk Bou (普雨) reconstructed the temple in 1548 during the King Myeongjong of the Joseon Dynasty. The temple name was changed to Oseam after Monk Seoljeong (雪淨) rebuilt it in 1643 during the King Injo's reign. A famous tale regarding Monk Seoljeong and the name has been handed down.

## The origin of a name

Seoljeong was raising his orphaned brother's son at the temple, but he left for Yangyang to prepare for the winter. He left the temple after cooking meals for his four-year-old nephew, who would be alone for a few days. It had snowed all night after the market had started. When he came back in March next year, he found a child who was believed to have died, hanging a wooden tablet and calling for the Avalokitesvara. It is said that a five-year-old boy called the Gwaneum Rock " Five Years Rock " to tell the tale of the superhuman strength of Avalokitesvara.

## In popular culture

Korean film oseam is based on a myth associated with the temple.
# Tanzania Buddhist Temple and Meditation Center

Tanzania Buddhist Temple and Meditation Center is a Buddhist temple located in Dar es Salaam.

## History

Tanzania Buddhist Temple and Meditation Center is the oldest and first Buddhist temple in Africa. It was Sri Lankan people who, in the 20th century, established the Buddhist temple in Tanzania, after they came to work in Dar es Salaam around 1915. They worked together and formed the “Singhalese Buddhist Association” and then asked for a piece of land from the government of Tanzania. They were bought two acres land in the city center.
A seedling of the Bodhi tree from Sri Lanka was obtained and planted in 1919. Since then, some 85 years ago, it has grown and covers about a quarter acre. Up to 2002, it never bore any seedlings. Now however, some of the seedlings have been planted in other parts of Tanzania like Butiama, Morogoro and the Botanical garden and also in other African countries like Kenya, Malawi, Botswana, Congo, and South Africa.
The Buddhist Association Hall was built in 1927 and this was then registered under the society in 1955. It was not only the Sri Lankan Buddhists who supported the building and maintenance of the Association hall, but also the Sri Lankan Muslims, Christians and Hindus (who worked in Tanganyika at that time) who gave their support. It has two rooms, a sitting room, kitchen, storeroom and bathroom. The Sri Lankan community used this hall for their social meetings, religious services and other activities. The first visiting Buddhist monk was Ven. Palane Narada in 1962, who started the center's nursery school for neighborhood children

## Services

The center offers a nursery school for poor local African children. It is a special project created to help the African community. The medium language is English. The age for the kids is from two and half years to six years old.
From 1996 up to now, the center has been sending Tanzanian students who have completed advanced level (metric) education to African Buddhist seminary, which is under the Nan Hua Temple in South Africa, to learn Buddhism for three years. A total of nearly 150 young Tanzanian matriculants have been sent to South Africa to study Chinese Buddhism over the past six years. Those who passed the examination well are given the opportunity to go to Taiwan for a few more years in Buddhist studies.

# Harusindan

Harusindan was the third king of the Gilites, ruling briefly in 921. He was the son of Tirdadh, who was the first king of the Gilites during the 10th century, but later died and was succeeded by another Gilite named Lili ibn al-Nu'man, who was from another clan. Harusindan also had a sister who married a Dailamite nobleman named Ziyar, and together they had a son named Mardavij, who would later create the Ziyarid dynasty.
After the death of Lili in 921, Harusindan ascended the Gilite throne. A group of Gilites and Dailamites shortly planned to kill the Alid ruler Abu Muhammad Hasan ibn Qasim. However, Abu Muhammad eventually found out about the conspiracy, and had Harusindan killed, who was shortly succeeded by the Farawand chieftain Khushkiya. Khushkiya's rule was brief; the kingship shortly returned to Harusindan's son Siyahgil. Harusindan also had another son named Shahrakawayh, who had a son named Ziyar ibn Shahrakawayh.
