# Mirza Reza Kermani

Mirza Reza Kermani (Persian: میرزا رضا کرمانی; Born in 1854 in Kerman, Persia (modern Iran) – 10 August 1896 in Tehran) was an adherent of Jamal al-Din al-Afghani and an Iranian who assassinated King Nasser-al-Din.

## Background

He and other followers of al-Afghani were demanding that the Qajar dynasty rule Persia/Iran justly. After al-Afghani was expelled from Iran by the Qajars, Kermani began to openly and publicly criticize Qajar officials. Eventually Kermani was imprisoned, his wife divorced him, and his son was made into a servant. In 1895, he visited Jamal al-Din al-Afghani in Istanbul, and they planned the assassination of Nasser-al-Din Shah, before Kermani returned to Iran.

## Assassination of Nasser-al-Din Shah

On 1 May 1896, Kermani assassinated Nasser-al-Din Shah in the Shah Abdol-Azim Shrine in Rayy near Tehran.
He is reported to have said "I had a chance to kill him (the Shah) before, but I didn't because the Jews were celebrating their picnic after the 8th day of Passover. I did not want the Jews to be accused of killing the Shah."
It is said that the revolver used to assassinate him was old and rusty, and had the Shah worn a thicker overcoat, or been shot from a longer range, he would have survived the attempt on his life. Shortly before dying the Shah is reported to have said, "I will rule you differently if I survive!"

## Capture and death

After killing the Shah, Mirza Reza Kermani escaped towards the border of the Ottoman Empire. Nasser-al-Din's successor Mozaffar ad-Din Shah sent a detachment of troops on camels to find Mirza Reza Kermani to avenge his father's death. He was captured at the Ottoman border. After months of interrogation, Kermani was executed by public hanging on August 10, 1896.
Some people in Tehran promoted the idea that Mirza Reza was an Azali but historical documents shows he was born in a Shia family.

## Consequences

Kermani's assassination of Nasser-al-Din Shah and the subsequent execution marked a turning point in Iranian political thought that would ultimately lead to the Iranian Constitutional Revolution during Mozaffar ad-Din Shah's turbulent reign; the Constitutional Revolution was the first major democratic movement in the modern Middle East, although it was preceded by the First Constitutional Era (1876–78) in the neighboring Ottoman Empire.

The band posted an official teaser of the song on May 15. In an Instagram Live, Reynolds described the lyrics of the song:
   The song is about the dating process. I’ve always really hated that when you are dating someone, you are also kind of dating their friends. Like I didn’t sign up for that. I really like you but I really don’t have to like all your friends. The person that I wrote it about, I got her permission before getting the song out. We are friends now, but there was a moment when we were not doing good.

## Music video

In addition to Ukrainians, Volga Germans and Mordovians migrated to Zhovty Klyn in numbers. As of 2014, most of the population is mixed in the region, though a few "pure" Ukrainian villages remain.

# QD (retailer)

QD Stores Limited (trading as Quality Discounts and QD) is a British independently-owned discount retailer operating in the United Kingdom, primarily in East Anglia and the East Midlands regions. Products stocked include a mixture of items for the home and garden, basic groceries and a range of clothing and footwear. The company also run Cherry Lane Garden Centres.

## History

The first QD Stores branch was opened in Norwich in 1985, with the initials QD standing for quality discounts.
During the 1990s QD Stores purchased the small department store Lathams of Potter Heigham, which it still operates under the original name. It also established Cherry Lane Garden Centres in 2001, which by 2008 had become the eighth biggest UK gardening centre group.
The number of QD Stores locations has grown relatively slowly since 1985. Notable changes to the store estate include the opening of eight new stores in former Woolworths locations following that company's closure in 2009. However the group completed the closure of their flagship store in St Stephens Street, Norwich in late 2012.
In 2010, the company opened its first store outside England in Wrexham, north Wales. Housed in a former Marks & Spencer branch, the store traded for ten years before declining local trade led to closure plans being announced in 2020. In 2011, the company moved its headquarters from Anglia Square in Norwich to the former Norfolk Chamber of Commerce site on the corner of Barrack Street and Silver Road.
The company added 11 more shops to their portfolio through the purchase of fellow East Anglian discounter Thingmebobs in early 2013. These stores retained their separate identity and a new parent company, QD Commercial Group Holdings, was set up to operate the various related companies. The Thingmebobs Stores were re-branded under QD in 2022.
QD Stores established an e-commerce site selling goods online during 2014 and followed this with the introduction of a 'click and collect' service the following year. The company announced in April 2022 that it would be joining fellow discounters Poundland and Home Bargains in offering a frozen food section. In August 2022, QD opened their 30th store in Maldon, Essex.

## Cherry Lane Garden Centres

Cherry Lane Garden Centre group was started by QD in 2001 to run three garden centres based in East Anglia. The company runs five nurseies to grown their own plants.
The Cherry Lane Garden Centre group has continued to grow with the purchase of Retford & Gainsborough Garden Centre in Nottinghamshire in February 2022, their 16th garden centre across East Anglia, East Midlands and Yorkshire.

Born in Washington, D.C., in 1869, he played as an outfielder for five seasons in Major League Baseball, beginning with the Chicago Colts in 1896, played with the Cincinnati Reds from 1898 until 1901, and then finished the 1901 season with the New York Giants.

## Career

McBride began his professional baseball career in 1889 with the Davenport Hawkeyes of the Central Interstate League, and completed the season with the Greenville representative of the Michigan State League. He played for the Waco Tigers of the Texas League in 1892, and in 1895 he played for both the Rockford Forest City Reds of the Western Association and the Austin Beavers of the Texas and Southern Leagues.
On August 14, 1895, following the demise of the Austin team, he was acquired by the Chicago Colts of the National League (NL), and he made his major league debut on May 12, 1896. Cap Anson persuaded the team to acquire McBride based on his outstanding Texas League season in 1895, and had expected him to take over the starting job in left field in place of departing Walt Wilmot. However, he appeared in just nine games for the Colts during 1896 season, and had a batting average of .241 in 29 at bats, and hit first major league home run on May 29 against Harley Payne of the Brooklyn Bridgegrooms.

McBride appeared in 30 games for the Reds in 1901, and had a batting average of .236, in 123 at bats, before being released by the team on June 28. He was signed by the New York Giants the following day, and on July 25, in a game against the Brooklyn Superbas, he provided the only hit, a single, against Frank Kitson as he defeated Christy Mathewson 5–0. He appeared in 68 games, and had a .280 batting average, for the Giants, before being released on September 17. Although he worked out with the 1902 Reds in spring training, he was not signed, however, he did play for the Milwaukee Brewers of the American Association that season, his last at the professional level.
McBride died at the age of 86 in Georgetown, Ohio, and is interred at Greenlawn Cemetery in Portsmouth, Ohio.
