# Daniel Ben-Horin

Daniel Ben-Horin is an American social entrepreneur, known for founding the technology assistance nonprofit CompuMentor, now known as TechSoup, in the late 1980s. He is also a former journalist who has written for publications such as The Arizona Republic, The Nation, The NY Times, and Mother Jones. Ben-Horin's debut novel, Substantial Justice, was published in June 2020.

## Early life and education

Ben-Horin was born to Jewish parents from Latvia and Ukraine, who both emigrated separately to British Mandatory Palestine and met on a kibbutz in 1930. Ben-Horin's father was a Zionist activist and journalist. After the couple moved to Queens, New York in 1945, his mother earned an M.A. from Columbia University and became a probation officer for New York City. He graduated from the University of Chicago in 1969 with a Bachelor of Arts degree.

## Career
### Journalism and socialist views

After college, Ben-Horin lived in Phoenix, Arizona for six years, where he worked at The Arizona Republic before becoming an editor of the Phoenix New Times. In 1974, Ben-Horin moved to San Francisco. He has written for publications such as The Nation, Mother Jones and Redbook.
In 1977 he wrote the article "Television Without Tears", a socialist analysis of television and its role in popular culture and ideology, which was published in the journal Socialist Revolution.

### Nonprofit career

From 1981-84, Ben-Horin served as the Executive Director of Media Alliance, a nonprofit association of media workers in the San Francisco Bay Area. In 1985, Ben-Horin became active on the Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link (WELL), where he encountered technologists who wanted to share their knowledge with nonprofits, but had no outlet to do so. The following year, Ben-Horin approached WELL members with a printer problem and was overwhelmed by the assistance he received in resolving the issue. This led to him establishing CompuMentor in San Francisco in September 1986, with the objective of trying to "help nonprofit organizations use available technical tools to produce better work and to activate a truly skilled sector of the population--technically adept people--by getting them into the community to do what they do best--talk about technology and teaching."
In April 2009, Ben-Horin received the "Lifetime Achievement Award" from the Nonprofit Technology Enterprise Network (NTEN), and two months later the Ashoka Foundation elected Ben-Horin as a Senior Fellow for his work. The NonProfit Times named Ben-Horin in its Top 50 most influential people in the nonprofit sector four years in a row from 2004 to 2007.
Ben-Horin was the CEO of TechSoup until 2013, when he became Founder and Chief Instigator, with Rebecca Masisak replacing him as CEO. As of 2017, TechSoup Global had a staff of 212 and an annual operating budget of $34 million.

### Fiction

In 2013, Ben-Horin returned to his first love, writing fiction. His novel, Substantial Justice, was published in July 2020 by Rare Bird Books. Substantial Justice received positive reviews. Kirkus Reviews called it a “remarkable first novel”.
# Colin Fraser Barron

Colin Fraser Barron VC (20 September 1893 – 15 August 1958) was a Canadian recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.
He was born at Boyndie, Banffshire, Scotland, a son of Margaret Walker Barron, a domestic servant. He was raised in a large household by his grandparents Joseph Barron & Mary (née Reid) Barron along with his brother Alexander Barron and many other half-siblings and aunts and uncles. He emigrated to Canada in 1910, and enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force in 1914.
Barron was 24 years old, and a Corporal in the 3rd (Toronto) Battalion, CEF during the First World War when he was awarded the Victoria Cross, the full citation for which reads as follows:
   For conspicuous bravery when in attack his unit was held up by three machine-guns. Corpl. Barron opened on them from a flank at point-blank range, rushed the enemy guns single-handed, killed four of the crew, and captured the remainder. He then, with remarkable initiative and skill, turned one of the captured guns on the retiring enemy, causing them severe casualties.
   The remarkable dash and determination displayed by this N.C.O. in rushing the guns produced far-reaching results, and enabled the advance to be continued.
He later achieved the rank of sergeant-major, and during the Second World War he served with the Royal Regiment of Canada.
# Congress of Kraków

The Congress of Kraków (Polish: Zjazd krakowski) was a meeting of monarchs initiated by King Casimir III the Great of Poland and held in Kraków (Cracow) around September 22–27, 1364. The pretext for calling the meeting was very likely a proposed anti-Ottoman crusade, but the Congress was actually concerned mostly with European diplomacy issues, of which preeminent were peaceful relations and the balance of power in central Europe and negotiating a common response to the Turkish threat through the project of a central European league of states.
The participants, who were guests of the Polish king, were Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor, King Louis I of Hungary, King Valdemar IV of Denmark, King Peter I of Cyprus, Siemowit III of Masovia, Bolko II of Świdnica, Władysław Opolczyk, Rudolf IV, Duke of Austria, Bogislaw V, Duke of Pomerania, Casimir IV, Duke of Pomerania, Otto V, Duke of Bavaria and Louis VI the Roman.
The Congress, which took place in lavish surroundings, was intended as a manifestation of the Polish king's power and wealth and echoed throughout Europe. It included a famous banquet at the house of the Kraków merchant Mikołaj Wierzynek, which was organised by the city council. The occasion for the feast, which, according to Jan Długosz, lasted for 21 days, was the recent wedding of Charles IV and Casimir's granddaughter Elizabeth of Pomerania.
The several medieval sources available do not always agree on the timing and other issues. Possibly, there were two separate congresses, one in 1363 that had to do with the marriage and another in 1364 that was the more political congregation of the monarchs. In 1364, among the issues discussed were the Angevin succession to the Polish throne and the ratification of the peace treaty involving Louis I and Charles IV among others that was arbitrated by Casimir III and Bolko II. An important source is a poem of Guillaume de Machaut, who described the banquet in Wierzynek's house
# Cwm Dewi

Cwm Dewi is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (or SSSI) in Pembrokeshire, South Wales. It has been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest since January 2010 in an attempt to protect its important geological elements. The site has an area of 22.02 hectares (54.4 acres) and is managed by Natural Resources Wales.

## Type

This site is designated due to its geological qualities: a spectacular landform created during the Ice Age.
Cwm Dewi SSSI is one of the most important sites in Britain where Quaternary landforms and deposits can be studied. The valley which separates Dinas Island from the adjacent plateau was formed by the meltwater produced when an ice sheet which covered north Pembrokeshire thawed.
# Charles Ebden (cricketer)

Charles Hotson Murray Ebden (29 June 1880 – 24 May 1949), sometimes known as Tommy Ebden, was an English cricketer active from 1902 to 1909 who played for Sussex and Middlesex in the County Championship. He also played first-class cricket for Cambridge University, Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and Scotland, and with Lord Brackley's XI on tour in the West Indies. He was born in Westminster and died in Elvanfoot, Lanarkshire. He appeared in 40 first-class matches as a righthanded batsman who scored 1,465 runs with a highest score of 137. Ebden also represented England at hockey.
Ebden was educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge. During World War I he was a Lieutenant in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve.

# Théophile Wahis

Lieutenant-General Baron Théophile Wahis (French pronunciation:; 27 April 1844 – 26 January 1921) was a Belgian soldier and colonial civil servant who served as Governor-General of the Congo Free State and, subsequently, the Belgian Congo for two terms between 1891 and 1912. He was the longest ruling of Belgian colonial governors.

## Career

Théophile Wahis was born in Menen in West Flanders, Belgium, on 27 April 1844 to a military family. He entered the Belgian Army and studied at the Royal Military Academy in Brussels. During the Franco-Mexican War (1864–67), Wahis volunteered for service in the Belgian Legion sent to Mexico to fight alongside French and Imperial Mexican Forces. Wahis served with distinction in Mexico, returning to the Belgian military in 1867 but was frustrated by the lack of promotion. Through General Alfred van der Smissen, the former commander of the Belgian Legion in Mexico, Wahis was introduced to King Leopold II as a possible candidate for the King's private venture in the Congo Free State.
In 1890–91, Wahis was posted to Boma as a senior civil servant in the Free State administration. His success in the role led to rapid promotion and, in 1892, he was designated the state's next Governor General, replacing Camille Janssen. Wahis' military background had a strong influence on governance in the Free State and contributed to its increasingly harsh policies of rule. He clashed particularly with more liberal colonial figures, such as Félix Fuchs and Félicien Cattier, whose own backgrounds were as civilian lawyers. According to historians Lewis H. Gann and Peter Duignan, Wahis' appointment "symbolized the increasingly exploitative nature of the Free State's administration" and the growing "Belgianization" of the colony's administration.
Wahis was a strong defender of the Free State's public record in the international press. For his services to the state, he received the honorary rank of Lieutenant General and the title of Baron in 1901. After Belgium was forced by international pressure to annex the Free State in 1908, Wahis continued as Governor-General of the new Belgian Congo. He resigned in 1912 and was succeeded by Fuchs.
Retiring from colonial administration, Baron Wahis became a businessman with a position in a company in the Dutch East Indies and in the Congo's Compagnie du Katanga. He died in January 1921. A street in Brussels and a street in Menen are named after him.
