# Stickeen Territories

The Stickeen Territories /stɪˈkiːn/, also colloquially rendered as Stickeen Territory, Stikine Territory, and Stikeen Territory, was a territory of British North America whose brief existence began July 19, 1862, and concluded July of the following year. The region was split from the North-Western Territory in the wake of the Stikine Gold Rush. The initial strike attracted large numbers of miners — mostly American — to the region; by detaching the region from the exclusive trade zone of the Hudson's Bay Company, British authorities were able to impose tariffs and licences on the speculators. The new territory, named after the Stikine River, was under the responsibility of the Governor of the Colony of British Columbia, James Douglas, who was appointed "Administrator of the Stickeen Territories" and under British law, within the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of British Columbia.
The boundaries of the Stickeen Territories were the 62nd parallel to the north, the 125th meridian to the east, the Nass and Finlay Rivers to the south, and the panhandle of Russian America to the west (only vaguely defined by treaty and disputed until resolved with the Alaska Boundary Settlement of 1903).
A year later, the Stickeen Territories was dissolved, most of its former land being added to the Colony of British Columbia, except for the sector north of the 60th parallel, which was returned to the North-Western Territory. In 1895, most of this strip was again redistributed, this time to the District of Yukon, as newly constituted during the midst of the Klondike Gold Rush. The remainder of the strip stayed in the Northwest Territories.

# Karimjee family

The Karimjee family are a Tanzanian business family of Indian origin and owners of the Karimjee Group. Since the 1800s, Karimjee family business ventures have included trade, agriculture, real estate and various products in the mobility sector. Members of the Karimjee family have participated in public service with Abdulkarim Karimjee serving as Speaker of the National Assembly from 1956 to 1962. Karimjee Hall was donated by the family to the Dar es Salaam Municipal Council in 1955. It was used at various times as the Legislative Assembly and the first Houses of Parliament.

## History

The Karimjee family came to Zanzibar when Jivanjee Budhabhoy emigrated in the 19th Century from Mandvi, Gujarat. He established a company, Jivanjee Budhabhoy & Co., in 1825. Jivanjee Budhabhoy & Co sold copra and cloves among other items to India and brought American and European cloth to East Africa.
Jivanjee Budhabhoy had five children, including Karimjee Jivanjee (1826–1898). In 1861 Karimjee Jivanjee set up his own business in Zanzibar, Karimjee Jivanjee & Co.
Karimjee Jivanjee had one son, Alibhai Karimjee Jivanjee (1851-1883). Alibhai Karimjee Jivanjee married Fatema Jafferjee and they had four sons: Abdulhussein Karimjee Jivanjee (1870- 1892), Hassanali Karimjee Jivanjee (1872-1918), Mohamedali Karimjee Jivanjee (1876-1940), and Yusufali Karimjee Jivanjee (1882-1966). Alibhai Karimjee Jivanjee passed away at a young age, and his sons were raised by their mother Fatema Jafferjee and their grandfather Karimjee Jivanjee.
Karimjee Jivanjee & Co continued to operate, trading mainly in agricultural products and textiles, importing goods from Europe, the Far East, India and exporting goods to those same destinations as well as The Seychelles, Mauritius and Ceylon. Karimjee Jivanjee & Co owned a vast fleet of dhows which were used especially to trade with ports up and down the Swahili Coast.

# Kristian Hamon

Kristian Hamon is a Breton and French historian whose work focuses on collaboration in Brittany during World War II.

## Career in journalism

After a brief membership of Jeune Bretagne, which he denounced as right-wing, he joined the Breton Communist Party in 1973. At the end of the 1970s, he joined Canard de Nantes à Brest, worked for Libération in 1981, and then Lyon-Libération. At the end of the 1980s, he joined the daily newspaper the Var-Matin (Toulon). He also worked for a spell in publishing (Dargaud, Le Lombard).

## Research

He later returned to his studies, studying his master's (at L'Ouest-Éclair) on the German Occupation of France, receiving permission to study the department archives of Ille-et-Vilaine and focusing on the activities of the Parti national breton during the Second World War. His writing has been described as giving "an uncompromising picture of the political collaboration of the National Breton Party during the war" which "have received a rather cold reception in some parts of the Breton movement". Due to this uncompromising portrayal, the Breton nationalist party Adsav has attempted to disrupt a number of events attended by Hamon.
In February 2020 Hamon criticised the renaming of a road named after Youenn Drezen by the mayor of Pont-l'Abbé. The reason given for the renaming was Drezen's supposed Nazi collaboration during the second world war, particularly his alleged role as an informer against the French resistance, however Hamon stated that he knew of no evidence for this. Hamon's research instead identified Joseph Le Ruyet as the person who, in Hamon's view, had informed against the resistance fighters that Drezen is alleged to have informed against. In November 2021, a book by Hamon about Free French parachutists fighting in Brittany in 1944 during WW2 called Chez nous, il n’y a que des morts! ("with us there are only the dead!") was published by Skol Vreizh.

# Yaakov ben Yakar

Yaakov ben Yakar (990 – 1064) was a German Talmudist. He flourished in the first half of the 11th century. He was a pupil of Gershom ben Judah in Mainz, and is especially known as the teacher of Rashi, who characterizes him as Mori HaZaken (my teacher the elder).
Yaakov was one of the leading Talmudic authorities of his time. In some cases Rashi disagrees with the opinions of his teacher Yaakov. It appears that Yaakov had already written commentaries on portions of the Talmud before Rashi. Much in Rashi's commentary on the Talmud is derived from oral communications of Yaakov. When Rashi says simply "my teacher" without naming any one he is always referring to his teacher Yaakov. It appears, based on a remark of Rashi, that Yaakov was engaged in interpreting the Tanakh and in the study of Hebrew. Besides Rashi, the German Talmudists Eliakim ben Meshullam HaLevi and Solomon ben Samson were pupils of Yaakov.
Prof. Avraham Grossman offered that Yaakov ben Yakar may be the author of the lost book Meat on Charcoals.
