# Swampy (environmentalist)

Daniel Marc Hooper (born 1973), known by the nickname Swampy, is a British environmental activist. He was involved in a number of environmental protests in the 1990s, becoming nationally famous after spending a week in a tunnel aiming to stop the expansion of the A30 in Fairmile, Devon, in 1996. In 2020, he was arrested attempting to stop the destruction of Jones Hill Wood for High Speed 2 (HS2) and then joined a Stop HS2 protest at Euston Square Gardens in London.

## Activism

Swampy became a nationally known figure in 1996 after spending a week in a complex series of tunnels dug in the path of a new extension to the A30 in Fairmile, Devon, resisting attempts at eviction by police. Specialists were called in to safely remove Swampy and other protesters locked deep inside the network of artificial tunnels. Several people took part in the protest, but Swampy was the last one to be evicted. The magistrate passing sentence on him was David Cameron's mother. The mainstream media became fascinated with Swampy, and his subsequent fame included an appearance on the BBC comedy current affairs quiz Have I Got News for You, as the show's youngest-ever panelist. A folk song was written about him, entitled "The Fairmile Road Protest Song (Digging Down)". He also protested against the Newbury bypass, and in 1997, he entered tunnels intended to prevent the building of a second runway at Manchester Airport. He then dropped out of sight and refused to talk to the media.
In 2007, the Sunday Mirror newspaper reported that Swampy was taking part in the climate change protests at Heathrow Airport. Hooper's presence on the protest site was dependent on his keeping a low profile, so his celebrity status would not detract from the event. In September 2019, Swampy took part in an Extinction Rebellion protest, attaching himself to a concrete block at the entrance to the Valero Energy fuel refinery in Pembrokeshire. He admitted to a charge of wilful obstruction of the highway and was fined £40, plus £85 for costs and a £32 surcharge, commenting, "I am pleading guilty, I can't really afford to keep coming to court."
Swampy was arrested at Jones Hill Wood in Buckinghamshire in October 2020, having occupied a tree house as part of a Stop HS2 protest to prevent trees being felled because they are on the route of High Speed 2. In January 2021, he was involved in the construction and occupation of tunnels at Euston Square Gardens in London as part of the same protests. His 16 year-old son joined him in the tunnel protest. Swampy left the tunnel on 25 February. Hooper and others again built and occupied a tunnel on the site of HS2 work in Wendover, Buckinghamshire, emerging on 13 November 2021. They spent 35 days holding out against the national eviction team, 28 of those days completely underground.

## Personal life

Swampy was born in 1973 in Luton, Bedfordshire. In 2006, he was living with his girlfriend and their three children in a yurt, a dome-shaped tent, in Tipi Valley, a commune in west Wales. As of 2013, he was still living in Wales with his family, working for the Forestry Commission and running marathons and half marathons.

# The Countess of Chinchon

The Countess of Chinchon (Spanish: Condesa de Chinchón) is an oil-on-canvas portrait painted by the Spanish artist Francisco Goya, c. 1800. It is held in the Museo del Prado, Madrid. The painting depicts María Teresa de Borbón, 15th Countess of Chinchón, who had been encouraged by Queen Maria Luisa of Parma and by opportunism to marry Manuel de Godoy, the Prime Minister, in a marriage of convenience. It does not depict the more famous Countess of Chinchón who became the namesake of the cinchona genus of trees and shrubs responsible for early modern quinine production.

## Countess of Chinchón

Maria Teresa of Bourbon y Vallabriga, Countess of Chinchón and Marquis de Boadilla del Monte (1780–1828) was the eldest daughter of the morganatic marriage of Infant Louis Antoni Bourbon and Maria Teresa de Vallabriga y Rozas, daughter of a cavalry officer. The result of this union was the expulsion of the infant from the court by King Charles III, his brother. Infant died when Maria Teresa was only 5 years old, she was then taken from her mother and brought up together with her younger sister in a monastery in Toledo. She left the monastery at the age of 17, when the new royal couple Charles IV and Maria Ludwika of Bourbon-Parma decided to marry her with the most influential man in court, the royal favorite Manuel Godoy. Thanks to the Queen's protection, Godoy's career progressed rapidly from a colonel in the royal guard to the first minister who exercised effective power in the state. The Queen, who may have had an affair with Godoy, wanted to distract the favorite from his longtime mistress Pepita Tudó. For Godoy, marrying the king's cousin was a distinction and social promotion, as he officially became a member of the royal family. The Countess regained numerous privileges lost as a result of her father's exile, such as the use of the name and coat of arms of the Bourbons. She became the most important lady in the country after Queen Maria Ludwika.

## The circumstances of the uprising

The countess' parents were patrons of the arts; they gathered many talented painters, writers and musicians. For Goya they were the first patrons, their recognition of the painter's work significantly influenced his career as a portrait painter. In the years 1783–1784, as a guest of the infanta at Arenas de San Pedro, Goya performed many works for them; including a collective portrait, "The family of Infant don Luis", in which the countess is a girl watching the painter's work. Goya also portrayed a few-year-old Maria Teresa in a stylish little lady outfit and probably also on the occasion of her wedding.

On 23 June 2002, Fadzil passed away at Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Cheras, almost two weeks after undergoing a heart bypass surgery. His death means that both Pendang federal seat and Anak Bukit state seat were vacated.

# Racqy Synagogue

The Racqy Synagogue (Arabic: كنيس الراكي; Hebrew: אל ראקי) is a former Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Damascus, in Syria. The synagogue was completed in the second half of the 19th century.

## Location

The Racqy Synagogue is located in the Old City of Damascus on the east side of Muhammed Samir Darwish Street (Arabic: شارع محمد سمير درویش) approximately 20 m (66 ft) south of Talat al-Hidjara Street and 40 m (130 ft) north of the Red Mosque [de].

## History

The synagogue was completed in the second half of the 19th century. During the early 20th century, it was one of many synagogues in operation in the city. Following pogroms in Syria, in the 1940s, such as the 1949 Menarsha synagogue attack, following the establishment of the State of Israel, most of the Jews of Damascus left the country, followed by another wave in 1992 when Hafez al-Assad's government allowed emigration out of the country. Very few Jews remained, and the synagogue became abandoned.

## Architecture

Similar to the other Damascan synagogues, the Racqy Synagogue has a rectangular floor plan and is constructed from basalt stones. As customary in the city, it is decorated with black and white tiles. The soft-pointed arches rest on bright cyllindrical columns. The ceiling is made from traditional poplar wood.
