# Eduard Zimmermann

Eduard "Ede" Zimmermann (4 February 1929 – 19 September 2009) was a German journalist, television presenter and security expert.

## Life

Eduard Zimmermann was born on 4 February 1929 in Alte Heide in the borough of Schwabing-Freimann in Munich, Germany to a teenage mother who worked as a waitress. Shortly before the Second World War Zimmermann moved to his grandparents house in Ottobrunn. At the end of the war Zimmermann moved to the city of Magdeburg where his mother had married a hotelier, and where Zimmermann was first employed at his stepfather's hotel.
Following the Second World War the man who would later be known as a 'criminal hunter' and 'crook's bane' eked out a living as a thief and black market trader, for which he served a sentence at Fuhlsbüttel Prison. With a false identity and diploma he finally found work as a roadworks engineer in Sweden.
Zimmermann returned to the Soviet occupation zone in Germany on an assignment for Dagens Nyheter newspaper. There he was charged with espionage in 1950 and sentenced to 25 years in prison. He served five years of his sentence in Bautzen and was released early on 17 January 1954 in the run-up to the Berlin Conference.
Subsequently, he worked as a journalist and editor at NDR and ZDF.
From 20 October 1967 to 24 October 1997 Zimmermann presented 300 episodes of the ZDF TV series Aktenzeichen XY... ungelöst (Case number XY … Unsolved), whom he also co-hosted with his adopted daughter Sabine from 6 November 1987 until 24 October 1997 (Sabine would remain at the said programme until 7 December 2001), as well as 180 episodes from 1964 to 1997 of Vorsicht Falle! – Nepper, Schlepper, Bauernfänger (Beware, Trap! – Scammers, Hustlers, Conmen). He then retired from the television business and maintained an Internet security portal in co-operation with ZDF.
Zimmermann was a co-founder of Weißer Ring [de] e.V. (White Ring), an organisation that assists victims of crimes, and was its chairman for many years.
On the occasion of Aktenzeichen XY's hundredth episode on 7 October 1977 Zimmermann received the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany on ribbon, presented by Federal President Walter Scheel, and was subsequently awarded the Order of Merit First Class on 16 June 1986, presented by Federal President Richard von Weizsäcker. In 1982 he received the Humanitarian Award of the German Freemasons.
Zimmermann himself revealed his past as a criminal in 2005 through his autobiography, titled Auch ich war ein Gauner (I was a crook too). In a newspaper interview he said that his time as a criminal had made him tough:
   "You might say I am living proof that you can come back down from the crooked tracks if that's what you really want."
Zimmermann's last appearance on TV was on the 400th episode of Aktenzeichen XY on 10 May 2007. He died on 19 September 2009 in Munich from dementia.

# Boi (slang)

The term has also been used, independently of any meaning related to sexuality, as an alternate spelling for boy.
The term is also used in Wales (United Kingdom), particularly in the north, as a familiar term of address or greeting to anyone, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. The plural is bois, and may be addressed to a mixed, or any single sex, group.

The term boi may be used to denote a number of sexual orientations and possibilities that are not mutually exclusive:
* A boyish lesbian.
* A submissive butch in the BDSM community.
* A young trans man, or a trans man who is in the earlier stages of transitioning.
* A younger bisexual or gay man who may have effeminate characteristics. The term can also be used by anyone who wishes to distinguish from heterosexual or heteronormative identities.
Boi may also refer to someone assigned female at birth, who generally does not identify as, or only partially identifies as feminine, female, a girl, or a woman. Some bois are trans or intersex people. They may be gay or queer. Many trans bois are also genderqueer/nonbinary (in itself a trans/transgender group), or might identify as cis persons or trans men, and yet practice genderfuck in which they do not fit in either masculine or feminine binary gender presentation. Bois may prefer a range of pronouns, including "he", "she", or nonbinary and gender-neutral pronouns such as "they".

### Usage in popular culture and meme culture

One of the earliest usages of the term boi was with the rapper Big Boi. In the early 2000s the term came into usage within skateboarding culture. The term came into popular culture again with the song "Sk8er Boi" by Avril Lavigne. The term came into meme culture with the Dat Boi meme: an animation of a frog on a unicycle usually accompanied by the caption "Here come dat boi. (O shit waddup!)"

# Edmond Dapples

Edmond Charles Francis Dapples (1834 – 1914) was a Swiss physician and agronomist, known for his reforestation work and agricultural development in the Mugello region of Tuscany.

## Biography
### Early life and medical career

Edmond Charles Francis Dapples belonged to a branch of the Swiss banking family Dapples, originally from the Canton of Vaud, which had settled in Genoa in 1820 to expand its economic activities.
On 31 July 1868, he married Elvire Susanne Caroline Henriette Bert in Torre Pellice, daughter of a Waldensian pastor. They had one daughter, Elvire Dapples, born in Genoa in 1870.
Dapples initially pursued a career as a surgeon, but in 1880, after the death of his wife Elvire, he lost faith in medicine and decided to abandon his profession to focus entirely on agriculture and forestry.

## Grezzano Estate and the "Little Swiss Mugello"

In 1886, attracted by the thriving Swiss community in Florence, Dapples purchased Villa Dapples and several farms in Grezzano, Mugello, for 242,000 lire. He focused on modernizing agriculture and reforesting the area, leading to the estate being nicknamed the "Little Swiss Mugello".
Dapples worked alongside his nephews, including Henri Dapples, a well-known footballer for the Genoa Cricket and Football Club, as well as Charles and Louis Dapples, who continued his work after his death. Louis later became CEO of Nestlé, while Charles promoted photographic documentation of the estate and its reforestation projects.
Under Dapples' management, the property expanded significantly, shifting from pastoral farming to agro-forestry, with a greater focus on woodlands rather than livestock, likely due to the poor quality of the soil.
When Dapples arrived in Mugello, the region was suffering from severe hydrological instability, largely due to the Leopoldine forest regulations, which were too permissive and inadequate to preserve forest cover and protect the land. Unlike many landowners of the time, Dapples invested heavily in reforestation, going against the prevailing agricultural trends.
By 1911, the Dapples estate covered 750 hectares, including 280 hectares of forest, 320 hectares of pasture, and 150 hectares of cultivated land. To avoid conflicts with local shepherds, Dapples would buy land and reforest it.
By 1914, he had reforested 300 hectares of what had previously been barren, rocky terrain.
Even the current Museo Casa d'Erci in Grezzano was once one of the farms purchased by Dapples in 1886, and it has remained well-preserved to this day.
After his death in 1914, his daughter Elvire Dapples inherited and managed the estate.

## Dapples Archive

A photographic archive documenting Dapples' work is preserved at the Museo Casa d'Erci, consisting of approximately 500 photographs taken between 1904 and 1951. The archive offers a valuable historical record of agricultural life in Mugello during that period. The materials were donated by the last descendants of the Dapples family before they left Grezzano.

## Geographic distribution

The Borakays in Kuwait mainly reside in the Hawalli Governorate in Kuwait, particularly Al-Naqra, where there is a roundabout named after the Borakay Kurds (Al-Kurd roundabout) A large number of them served in the army, police, important companies, and various government jobs before departing following the Gulf War. most of them relocated to Denmark and the UK.

## Origins

According to Sarlashkar Mozaffar Zanganeh, in the mid 20th century the Poraka, which is an alternative spelling of Borakay, were 450 families inhabiting Sarpol-e-Zahab, Lilak, Esfandabad and the Hasanabad area of Sanandaj. These areas are situated within modern Kurdistan province and the Kermanshah province of Iran. They also had a presence in Iraq, and are considered part of the Mendemi tribe.
According to some sources, Borakays are part of the Jaff Confederation. However, this claim is questionable
According to Sadegh Safizadeh, the Borakays claim to be the descendants of the Sassanids and trace their lineage through Khosrow II. Furthermore, he claims that Borakays are native to Shahrizor, Zahab and Lilaq.
