# Forest Town raid

The Forest Town raid was a 1966 police raid that targeted LGBT people in Forest Town, Gauteng. The raid led to proposed anti-homosexuality legislation in South Africa. It also helped coalesce the queer community in South Africa.

## Background

The South African police had conducted periodic raids on other private queer parties and also in public places prior to the Forest Town raid. These raids, however, were smaller in scope and not publicized in the same way as the Forest Town raid.
As apartheid in South Africa grew in scope, it was also important to the government to end the actions of people who were "deemed threatening to white civilisation." Gay people were seen as "bogeymen" who threatened the country.

## Forest Town raid

The Forest Town party was held in January 22, 1966 in the Johannesburg suburb, Forest Town, Gauteng. The party, on Wychwood Road, was meant to be a glamorous event and included prominent gay socialites. It was a "bottle-party" with guests bringing their own alcohol. Around 350 people attended the party. Police, dressed in civilian clothes, raided the home early in the morning and infiltrated the party. They arrested 9 men for different charges, including masquerading as women, "gross indecency" and the illegal sale of liquor. One of the people arrested was drag queen Michele Bruno.

## Aftermath

News coverage, including an article from the Rand Daily Mail described the party as a "mass sexy orgy." The press also focused on the professional class, such as prominent doctors and lawyers, who were present at the event. The newspaper even printed names of attendees. The press helped create a fear of "deviant" lifestyles and called it a problem for the white community of South Africa.
Later, evidence collected by the police was used to influence the creation of anti-homosexuality legislation. The legislation proposed was introduced by the Minister of Justice, P.C. Pelser in March of 1967 in the House of Assembly. The new law would criminalize both male and female homosexuality and sentence offenders to prison for up to three years. This is the first time that lesbians would be subject to punishment under the law and it made homosexuality itself not just homosexual actions illegal.
The queer community became more politically organized after the raids in order to fight the proposed laws. Lesbians, feeling an existential threat, especially became more active. Queer activists created the Homosexual Law Reform Fund (Law Reform) to raise money for attorneys to challenge the proposed law. Law Reform groups were created across the country. The Law Reform movement did cause the South African legislature to drop the proposed law and instead the Select Committee created three amendments to the current law of the Immorality Act. These included raising the age of consent for homosexual sex acts to age 19, outlawed dildoes and criminalized male homosexual acts at parties.
Black LGBT individuals were also further marginalized after the raids. However, gay culture overall in South Africa found a greater sense of coherence following the fight against the anti-homosexual laws.

# Gesher (2019 political party)

Gesher (Hebrew: גשר, lit. Bridge) was a liberal Zionist, social liberal, and centrist political party in Israel, established in December 2018 by former Yisrael Beitenu MK Orly Levy. The party focused primarily on economic and cost-of-living issues. The name of the party is a reference to the party founded by Orly's father, David Levy.

## History

Levy served on behalf of the Yisrael Beiteinu party during the 20th Knesset, but withdrew from the party after it joined the 34th government, because she did not receive a ministerial position despite her high ranking on Yisrael Beitenu's list. At first, she remained officially a part of the party, but later was removed from the party and remained a member of the Knesset. Levy was recognized as an independent member of the Knesset, not a member of the coalition, but in the opposition. In March 2017 Levy announced her intention to establish a new party for the elections.
Gesher was founded in December 2018, a few days after the April 2019 election was called. The party attempted to run on a joint list with Benny Gantz's Israel Resilience Party, but after negotiations failed, the party declared it would run alone.
On 18 July 2019, ahead of the September 2019 election, the party agreed to form an electoral alliance with the Labor party.
For the 2020 March elections, Gesher-Labor unified with Meretz in light of worries that neither party would pass the 3.25% threshold needed to enter the Knesset. Many Gesher voters were surprised at this merger, because when it came to the politics of the Arab–Israeli conflict, Gesher was seen as more of a centre-right party, while Meretz is a left-wing party. On 17 March 2020, Levy requested that she be allowed to withdraw her party from its alliance with Labor and Meretz. The Arrangements Committee approved the split on 23 March. In the following election in 2021, Orly Levy ran as part of the Likud list after the party gave her the 26th spot and went on to retain a seat in the Knesset.

# Franco-Algerian war (1609–1628)

The Franco-Algerian war of 1609–1628 occurred because of a Dutch pirate named Simon Dansa who declared his conversion to Islam and joined the Algerian navy in 1603, and then later conspired with the French consul in Algeria in an attempt to collect more wealth, so he collected his money and fled with it to France, including two of advanced bronze cannons he had been lent to him by the Pasha of Algiers.
The Algerians were greatly disturbed by the incident, which made the Pasha officially declare war on the Kingdom of France after its refusal to return the two cannons and punish Simone Dansa. During the war, France lost millions of francs and thousands of people who turned into slaves in Algeria, which forced it to surrender and return the two cannons in 1628.
# 2001 Kodori crisis

The 2001 Kodori crisis was a confrontation in the Kodori Valley, Abkhazia, in October 2001 between Georgians (who were supported by ethnic Chechen fighters) and Abkhazian forces. The fighting resulted in the deaths of at least 40 people.

## Timeline

On October 4, 2001, a group of Chechen and Georgian fighters led by the commander Ruslan Gelayev entered the gorge from the Georgian side and attacked the village Giorgievskoe. Then, on October 8, 2001, a helicopter carrying United Nations observers was shot down over Kodori, killing nine.

## Aftermath

The crisis was largely neglected by the world media, which was focused on the concurrent US attack on Afghanistan.
On 5 August 2004, Valery Chkhetiani, one of the Georgian fighters captured by Abkhazian forces, suffered a stroke during a walk and was brought to a hospital, where he died two days later, on 7 August. Chkhetiani, a resident of Kutaisi born in 1973, had been condemned to a prison sentence of 15 years.
On 29 July 2006, Mart Laar, former prime minister of Estonia and then adviser to the Georgian president, was quoted as saying that the Kodori conflict was engineered by Russia. Laar also warned that future provocations of Georgia by Russia are to be expected, but that Georgia has prepared itself to make it through any challenges posed by Russia.
On 30 April 2008, Russia accused Georgia of massing 1500 troops in the Kodori region in preparation to invade Abkhazia. Georgia maintained the troops were present in accordance with a 1994 accord that allowed for peacekeeping forces in the region and were essential to maintaining order after the 2001 Kodori crisis. Russia responded by deploying troops to the region, further escalating tensions between Russia and Georgia. These forces would later take part in the war in 2008.
# Denny Hall

Denny Hall is a building on the main campus of the University of Washington, in Seattle, Washington, United States. Built between 1894 and 1895, it is named after Arthur A. Denny.

## Design

Denny Hall was designed by Charles Saunders and constructed between 1894 and 1895. The brick and sandstone, French Renaissance Revival building is the oldest on the University of Washington's current campus. A grassy area planted with large, canopy trees - the Denny Yard - sits in front of the building.

## History

The cornerstone of the building was laid in a July 1894 ceremony attended by a crowd of about 1,000. Originally called the Administration Building, in 1910 it was renamed after Arthur A. Denny, one of the founders of Seattle and an early benefactor of the university. The building was renovated, first in 1957, and a second time beginning in 2008. The $56 million renovation of 2008 was stalled by the Great Recession but resumed in 2014 and was completed two years later.
An engraving of Denny Hall is featured on the University of Washington's mace, which is carried and displayed by the Marshal of the University during Convocation and Commencement ceremonies.
Installed in the cupola of Denny Hall is a 400-pound (180 kg), 1859 bell ("the Varsity Bell") which is rung once per year, on Homecoming, to ceremonially summon the university's alumni to campus. From 1961 until his death in 2013, Brewster Denny was responsible for the annual ringing of the Varsity Bell.
As of 2016, the building houses the university's departments of Anthropology, Classics, Germanics and Near Eastern Languages & Civilization.
