# Alice Curwen

Alice Curwen (c. 1619–1679) was an English Quaker missionary, who wrote an autobiography published along with correspondence as part of A Relation of the Labour, Travail and Suffering of that Faithful Servant of the Lord, Alice Curwen (1680). Her maiden name and parentage are unknown. She came from Baycliff in the Furness district of Lancashire (now in the Westmorland and Furness district of Cumbria), and spent part of her life as a missionary and social activist in New England and the Caribbean.

## Marriage and conversion

In about 1641, Alice married Thomas Curwen, also born in Baycliff. They joined the Religious Society of Friends in about 1652 during a mission to Furness by George Fox. Thomas was among 27 Friends from Furness and elsewhere in Lancashire prosecuted several times for interrupting priests and addressing their congregations. He was arrested in 1659 and imprisoned in Lancaster Castle for failing to pay parish tithes and seemingly on later occasions as well. Altogether, he stated in A Relation..., he spent eleven years in prison.

## New England and the Caribbean

Alice Curwen, who also emerged as a Quaker preacher, felt inspired by God in 1676, after her children had grown up, to travel to New England, having heard that Quakers suffered cruel punishment and even the death penalty in Boston. Her husband initially disputed that the command had come from God, but relented and accompanied her.
Over the next two years the Curwens were also active in Rhode Island and New Jersey and spent the period March to October 1677 proselytizing in Barbados, where Alice Curwen argued that black slaves had a right to attend Quaker meetings irrespective of their owners' opinions.
The Curwens also visited the nearby island of Nevis, where vestiges of Quakerism were reported in 1817 among slaves, long after all white Quakers had left. The group, known as Naohites, used the Quaker term "first-day" for Sunday, rejected payment for preachers, forbade gaudy dress, debt, stealing, lying, and swearing, and emphasized that the Spirit puts into people's hearts what they should do.

## Return

The Curwens returned to England, where they preached in London, the South-East and the East Midlands, as well as retaining their connections in Furness, especially Swarthmoor Hall and the meeting there. They were active in Huntingdonshire in the winter of 1677–1678.
Alice Curwen died suddenly in London on 7 June 1679 at the age of about sixty. Her husband intended A Relation... as an obituary compilation, to which he contributed an account of her life. It included a tribute by the fellow preacher Rebecca Travers, a notable Quaker writer of the period. One of the Curwens' children, another Thomas, became a glover in London. Thomas Curwen the elder was imprisoned in Newgate in 1679. He died in Blackfriars, London, on 1 August 1680 at the age of about seventy.

# Capture of Jhain

The Capture of Jhain was a military expedition carried out by the Delhi Sultanate under Jalal-ud-din Khalji against the Kingdom of Ranthambore. It took place in the March of 1291 when the Delhi forces defeated the Ranthambore forces under Gurdan Saini and captured the city of Jhain.
Some sources say that the Delhi army consisted of around 1,000 men, while the Ranthambore forces had 10,000. Most of the Rajputs, including their leader, Gurdan Saini, were killed in the battle. Jalaluddin Khalji marched through Jhain after the victory of the battle. The remaining Rajputs in Jhain evacuated the fort and retreated.

## Background and aftermath

Jalal-ud-din Khalji became ruler of the Delhi Sultanate in 1290. He captured the Mandawar fort in 1291 after defeating the Rajputs. After the victory at Mandawar, he marched towards Ranthambore to capture it from the Chauhans. Hammiradeva, the ruler of Ranthambore, sent his general Gurdan Saini to resist the invasion. Gurdan Saini took 10,000 Rawats from Jhain and marched towards the Delhi army.
Jalaluddin dispatched an army of 1,000, consisting of Malik Khurram, Malik Qutlagh Tighin, Azam Mubarak, Amir Narnul, Ahmad Sarjandar, Mahmud Sarjandar, and Abaji Akhurbeg. The Delhi army defeated the Ranthambore troops, and Gurdan Saini was killed in the battle. After facing high casualties, Ranthambore forces in Jhain evacuated the fort and retreated. Jalaluddin entered Jhain and continued his march towards Ranthambore.

# Bai Fangli

Bai Fangli (Chinese: 白方礼; pinyin: Bái Fānglǐ) was a Chinese pedicab driver in Tianjin who donated 350,000 yuan (US$54,958 in 2015) over a span of 18 years to enable more than 300 poor students to continue with their studies.

## Background

Bai Fangli was born in Hebei and lived with his wife, and his daughter, Bai Jinfeng.

## Charity Work

In 1986–1987, at the age of 74, Bai retired from his pedicab driving job and returned to his hometown in Hebei Province where he decided to live the rest of his life. On his way back, he witnessed many children working in the field. Upon learning that they had to drop out of school due to financial difficulties he decided to go back to his job of driving a pedicab in Tianjin to support the children in receiving education. However, before returning to work he first donated 5,000 yuan for the cause of their fees. Hitherto 2001, he often worked for long shifts, sometimes 24 hours at a stretch so that he could make the money to pay the instalment for the school fee. He got an accommodation close to the railway and would wait 24 hours a day, eat simple food and wore second hand discarded clothes. He also lived in a shabby house in the outskirts of Tianjin and ate humble food, according to local media. In 1996, he opened a small store near Tianjin's railway station to make more money. Most of his income was donated to local schools and universities such as to the Nankai University where he donated 35,000 yuan (US$5,498 in 2015) for the first time in 1996. His entire contribution summed up to 350,000 yuan. In 2001, at the age of nearly 90, he paid his last instalment to the Yaohua High School and retired from his job.

## Illness and death

In May 2005, Bai was sent to a hospital, where he was found to have lung cancer. He had been in a deep coma for about 20 days prior. His health eventually worsened and he died in that same year at the age of 92.

## Legacy

Due to his tremendous amount of contribution to society, Bai has since been held in high-esteem and respected by many.
In 2004, he was chosen by China Central Television (CCTV) as one of the 20 candidates for the "10 people who touched China's heart" selection.
After hearing that Bai was seriously ill, Nankai University students folded 99 paper cranes in early September 2005 to pray for him.

# Verbandsgemeinde

A Verbandsgemeinde (German pronunciation: ; plural Verbandsgemeinden) is a low-level administrative unit in the German federal states of Brandenburg, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saxony-Anhalt. A Verbandsgemeinde is typically composed of a small group of municipalities.

## Rhineland-Palatinate

The state of Rhineland-Palatinate is divided into 163 Verbandsgemeinden, which are municipal associations grouped within the 24 districts of the state and subdivided into 2,257 Ortsgemeinden (singular Ortsgemeinde) which comprise single settlements.
Most of the Verbandsgemeinden were established in 1969. Formerly the name for an administrative unit was Amt. Most of the functions of municipal government for several municipalities are consolidated and administered centrally from a larger or more central town or municipality among the group, while the individual municipalities (Ortsgemeinden) still maintain a limited degree of local autonomy.

## Saxony-Anhalt

The 11 districts of Saxony-Anhalt are divided into Verwaltungsgemeinschaften and, since 1 July 2009 also Verbandsgemeinden. Since the January 2010 government reform, there are 18 Verbandsgemeinden in Saxony-Anhalt.
# American Relief Expedition

The American Relief Expedition was a private and public effort to return Europe-bound American citizens to the United States at the start of the First World War.
At the outbreak of the First World War, approximately 100,000 to 200,000 Americans were in Europe. The war led to a collapse of foreign credit and exchange that left many unable to purchase transport home.
Herbert Hoover, then a mining financier, along with several wealth Americans, established The American Committee In London to offer safe passage home to the United States. The committee set up in the Savoy Hotel ballroom and faced a constant stream of distressed Americans sent from the embassy. The main purpose of the committee was to exchange dollars for pounds at the pre-declaration of war rate, offer 10 shillings to those that had no money on hand, and to find temporarily housing.
The American government recognized the situation but was unwilling to immediately act. The use of United States Navy ships to traffic tourists was rejected as battleship hammocks were deemed unsuitable for women. It was settled that offering credit to purchase transport would be more acceptable. Franklin D. Roosevelt, acting as representative of the navy, organised the initial relief. USS Tennessee sailed from New York for duty in Europe through the first half of 1915 supporting the American Relief Expedition by carrying 2.5 million USD in gold bullion and other resources to assist in the extraction of American refugees from war-ravaged Europe.
Ultimately, these actions were successful as over 100,000 Americans returned to the United States and The American Committee lost only 300 dollars of the some 1,500,000 it lent. Following this success Hoover, and through his new found ties to Walter Hines Page, would establish the Commission for Relief in Belgium.

# 2025 Macedonian anti-corruption protests

The 2025 North Macedonia protests are a series of public demonstrations that erupted following a catastrophic nightclub fire in Kočani, which claimed 59 lives and injured over 150 individuals. The tragedy has intensified public outrage over alleged corruption and systemic safety violations within the country.

## Background

On March 16, 2025, during a hip-hop concert by the band DNK at the Pulse nightclub in Kočani, pyrotechnic effects ignited the ceiling, leading to a rapid and devastating fire. The venue, a former carpet warehouse, was overcrowded and lacked essential safety measures such as emergency exits and fire extinguishers. Investigations revealed that the club was operating without a valid license, allegedly obtained through bribery.

## Protests

In the aftermath, thousands of citizens took to the streets in Kočani and the capital city, Skopje, expressing grief and anger. Demonstrations in Kočani turned violent, with protesters attacking municipal properties linked to the nightclub. Authorities have urged calm and initiated nationwide inspections of entertainment venues to address safety compliance.
Protesters targeted and destroyed a pub believed to be owned by the same individual responsible for the nightclub. The pub, which was located near the site of the fire, was vandalized by angry demonstrators who were demanding justice and accountability for the incident. Windows were smashed, and property was damaged as part of the protest's escalation into violence. This act was seen as a direct response to the widespread anger over alleged corruption and safety violations linked to the nightclub's operation.

## Government Response

The Macedonian government declared a seven-day national mourning period and launched investigations into the incident. Several officials, including a former economy minister, have been detained in connection with the tragedy. The government has also ordered nationwide inspections of all nightclubs and entertainment venues to ensure adherence to safety regulations.

## International Reaction

The European Union has offered support, highlighting concerns that systemic corruption, as revealed by this tragedy, could impede North Macedonia's EU accession efforts.
# Isaac Phills

Isaac Charles Phills, OC (January 11, 1896 – March 9, 1985) was a Canadian steel worker and the first Black man to receive the Order of Canada.

## Early Life

Phills was born in abject poverty in the West Indies before coming to Canada in 1916. He served in the First World War with the 85th Battalion (Nova Scotia Highlanders) of the Canadian Expeditionary Force. The writer Calvin Ruck quotes Phills as saying,
   In Sydney after the war started, quite a few Blacks volunteered for active service and were told point blank, "We don't want you. This is a white man's war." However, in 1917, the Canadian Army was up against it. They had lost a lot of men in France. At that point, they were willing to take anyone. Conscription came in, and they took the Blacks and the Whites.
Returning to Sydney, Nova Scotia after his discharge from service he went back to Sydney Steel where he worked for 45 more years and raised a family that included four college graduates.
Phills was active in his community, a member and vestryman of Saint Alban's Anglican Church in Whitney Pier, treasurer of the Ethiopian Community Club and secretary of the Court Washington Ancient Order of Foresters.

## Order of Canada

Isaac Phills was awarded the Order of Canada in Canada's centennial year of 1967. Isaac's appointment was in the inaugural list of 90 and was the only person of African descent to be recognized in the first list.
Phills' Order of Canada citation reads in part:
   A Cape Breton steel worker of West Indian origin, who raised a large family and despite many difficulties, gave them a good education and start in life and set a fine example in the community.
An article from the Cape Breton Post echoes the citation, stating that Phills, as the first Black man to receive the Order of Canada, is important for the role he played in showing the immigrant community of Whitney Pier that any man could overcome hardship through hard work and determination and build a prosperous life for themselves and their family in a new land.
# North Philadelphia station (SEPTA Metro)

North Philadelphia station is a rapid transit station on the SEPTA Metro B. It is located in Philadelphia under North Broad Street with headhouses at Glenwood Avenue and Lehigh Avenue.
The station takes its name from this portion of the city in spite of being one of several stations serving the area. It is adjacent to North Broad station (served by SEPTA Regional Rail) and North Philadelphia station (served by Regional Rail and Amtrak).

## History

The North Philadelphia station opened with the initial segment of the Broad Street Line on September 1, 1928, in the growing North Philadelphia area. The Pennsylvania Railroad's North Philadelphia station and the Reading Railroad's then-under-construction North Broad Street station were nearby; a direct passage was built from the subway station to the pedestrian underpass at North Broad Street station.
As the neighborhood deteriorated over the decades, the passage was closed, and the headhouses at Glenwood Avenue became exit-only.
Around 2005, SEPTA embarked on a $17.7 million reconstruction of the station which included five new headhouses (including the ability to enter from Glenwood), elevators for handicapped accessibility, new signage, and improved amenities. The work was originally to be completed by in fall 2007; however, by the end of 2007, the headhouses were finished but the elevators were not yet installed.
The rebuilt station was dedicated on April 29, 2010.

# Boursin cheese

Boursin is a brand of soft creamy cheese available in various flavours, with a flavour and texture similar to cream cheese.
The first Boursin flavour, garlic and fine herbs, was created in 1957 by François Boursin, a cheese maker from Normandy. Boursin's product was derived from a traditional party dish, fromage frais (French for "fresh cheese"); guests would take their cheese and add herbs for flavour. His recipe was the first flavoured cheese product to be sold nationally in France.
Boursin cheese was first developed in Normandy, and at one time was produced exclusively in Croisy-sur-Eure, France, by the Boursin company. In 1990, the Boursin name was acquired by Unilever, who sold it to Groupe Bel in November 2007 for €400 million.

## Advertising

The brand was advertised on television from 1 October 1968, when French television allowed commercial breaks for the first time. In 1972 their advertising slogan: "Du pain, du vin, du Boursin" ("Some bread, some wine, some Boursin") was launched. This slogan was later modified to "Du pain, du Boursin, on est bien" ("Some bread, some Boursin, we are good").
