# Convention on the Transfer of Sentenced Persons

The Convention on the Transfer of Sentenced Persons is an international treaty regulating the extradition and social rehabilitation of imprisoned persons. The Convention was concluded in Strasbourg on 21 March 1983 and entered into force on 1 July 1985. It has been ratified by 69 countries, including every country of the Council of Europe except Monaco. It has also been ratified by 21 states outside the Council of Europe, including Australia, Canada, India, Israel, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, the United States and Brazil. The latest accession to the Convention was Brazil in June 2023.
The Convention is intended to facilitate social rehabilitation of prisoners by providing foreigners convicted of a criminal offence the possibility of serving their sentences in their home countries. Humanitarian considerations also played a role in the drafting of the Convention, since factors such as language barriers resulting in difficulties with communication and distance from family and friends can constitute an impediment to social rehabilitation.

## Terms

According to Convention, the extradition (transfer) may be requested by either the state in which the sentence was imposed (the "sentencing State") or the state of which the sentenced person is a national (the "administering State"). The transfer is subject to the consent of the two States involved, and the consent of the sentenced person.
Article 1 sets out definitions for the purposes of the Convention. It defines a sentence as "any punishment or measure involving deprivation of liberty ordered by a court for a limited or unlimited period of time on account of a criminal offence".
The general principles of the Convention are outlined in Article 2, which states that Parties undertake to afford each other the widest measure of cooperation in compliance with this Convention. Article 2 also states the aim of the Convention: that a person sentenced in the territory of a Party may be transferred to the territory of another to serve the sentence imposed on him.
Article 3 sets out the conditions for the transfer, such as the condition that a sentenced person may only be transferred if that person is a national of the administering state, and if the judgment is final. It also states that any State may, at any time, by a declaration addressed to the Secretary-General of the Council of Europe, define, as far as it is concerned, the term “national” for the purposes of this Convention. Importantly, the transfer must be consented to by the sentenced person, and the sentencing State must ensure that this consent is given voluntarily and with full knowledge of its legal consequences, in accordance with Article 7.
Article 12 provides each party to the Convention the possibility to grant pardon or commutation of the sentence in accordance with its constitution or domestic laws.

## Competing legislation

For European Union nationals sentenced in another EU country, the similarly worded Council Framework Decision 2008/909/JHA applies instead of this Convention.
# High Park Loop

High Park Loop is a turning loop and the western terminus of the 506 Carlton streetcar line of the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) in Toronto. Streetcars enter westbound straight from Howard Park Avenue across to the west side of Parkside Drive and into the loop at the east entrance to High Park, turn anticlockwise through the loop, and return eastbound through the intersection.
The building at the loop has facilities that include washrooms for operators and the public, and a sheltering canopy over the platform in front.

## History

High Park Loop opened in 1893 and was rebuilt in 1922 by the newly created Toronto Transportation Commission, which had taken over and amalgamated existing ageing streetcar systems within the city limits. More recently, in 2000, the shelter and track were modernized and rebuilt.
Sometimes called Howard Park Loop, this is one of two TTC loops to have used High Park as the name of the destination, the other being the Bloor streetcar line's Park Loop, on the south side of Bloor Street at High Park Avenue.
# Oxford and Cambridge Expedition to South America

AllMusic editor Andy Kellman called the album Boyz II Men's "most enjoyable work since 2000's Nathan Michael Shawn Wanya." He found that "rather than attempt to compete with younger acts on the charts, they largely stick to their tried and true approach and appeal to their longtime listeners. Some of the slower songs get a little raunchy, but most of them switch between romantic pleading and uplifting/inspirational modes [...] That Boyz II Men still have it, both individually and collectively, is undeniable; their group harmonies sound as easy as ever. That’s what they had over most contemporary R&B acts in 1991, and that's what they have over all of them in 2011."

# Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Seals

The Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Seals (CCAS) is part of the Antarctic Treaty System. It was signed at the conclusion of a multilateral conference in London on 11 February 1972.

## Contents

CCAS had the objective "to promote and achieve the protection, scientific study, and rational use of Antarctic seals, and to maintain a satisfactory balance within the ecological system of Antarctica.
CCAS forbids the killing or capture of Antarctic seals except in specific circumstances. The contracting parties of CCAS may decide the standards for killing and capture as dynamics of the seal populations change, and these decisions should be "based upon the best scientific and technical evidence available".
CCAS also mandates communication between the different countries that signed it regarding all research, hunting, and capture of seals. The scientific aspect of this communication is done through the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research.

### Scope

The geographic range of the agreement covers all seas south of 60°S latitude. It protects the following seal species:
* Mirounga leonina Southern elephant seal
* Hydrurga leptonyx Leopard seal
* Leptonychotes weddelli Weddell seal
* Lobodon carcinophagus Crabeater seal
* Ommatophoca rossi Ross seal
* Arctocephalus sp. Southern fur seals
At the time of creation, all fur seals in the Antarctic area where in the genus Arctocephalus, however since then many species formerly in that genus have been reclassified under Arctophoca with only A. pusillus remaining.

## History

Shortly after the discovery of Antarctica, people began hunting seals at an unsustainable rate. Many species were close to extinction before the signing of CCAS.
It was opened for ratification on 1 June 1972, and entered into force on 11 March 1978.
The 17 parties to CCAS are Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Norway, Poland, Russia, South Africa, United Kingdom, and the United States. New Zealand has signed, but not ratified the convention.
The countries meet at least every five years after 1972 to review CCAS, as is mandated in Article 7.

# 94th Russell's Infantry

The 94th Russell's Infantry were an infantry regiment of the British Indian Army. They could trace their origins to 1813, when they were raised as the 1st Battalion of the Russell Brigade for the Princely state of Hyderabad. Until 1853, the regiment was part of the Nizam of Hydrabad's Army then after signing of a treaty with the then Governor General of India, The Nizam's Contingent was renamed as the Hyderabad Contingent and became part of the regular Indian Army.
In 1914 the regiment comprised three companies of Rajputs, three companies of Hindustani Muslims, and one company of Ahirs (who now reside in modern Indian state of Rajasthan and Haryana) and was stationed in Bombay. The regiment stayed in India for the first three years of World War One (1914-1918), transferring to Mesopotamia in the Autumn of 1917. In December 1918 the unit transferred to Salonika and from there moved to Turkey where it participated in the post-war occupation.
The regiment fought in the Battle of Mahidpur during the Third Anglo-Maratha War. They then participated in the Siege of Nowah and the later Capture of Nowah. During World War I the regiment was part of the 18th Indian Division and took part in the Mesopotamia Campaign. The Division was attached to the Tigris Corps and was involved in the Actions at the Fat-ha Gorge and on the Little Zab between the 23–26 October 1918 and the Battle of Sharqat between 28–30 October 1918.
After World War I the Indian government reformed the army moving from single battalion regiments to multi battalion regiments. In 1922, the 94th Russell's Infantry became the 1st Battalion, 19th Hyderabad Regiment. This regiment was allocated to the Indian Army after independence.

# William Forsyth (merchant)

William Forsyth (1722–1800) was a Scottish merchant.

## Early life

Forsyth was born in 1722 at Cromarty, where his father, a native of Morayshire, had settled as a shopkeeper. Forsyth spent some time in a London counting-house, but returned home when his father died suddenly at the early age of seventeen.

## Career

The herring had deserted the coast, and there was no trade but Forsyth came up with a bold idea. He formed a depôt of supplies for all the country round. He brought flax and other commodities from Holland. He traded with Leith and London, and was the first to introduce coal (about 1770), called by the country people 'black stones.' On the suggestion of his old schoolfellow, Dr. Hossack of Greenwich, he started the manufacture of kelp. He also employed many of the people in their own homes in spinning and weaving in connection with the British Linen Company, of which he was the first agent in the north, and encouraged fishing and farming industries.
For more than thirty years he was the only magistrate in the place. The general respect of the neighbourhood was shown by his popular title as 'the maister.' Forsyth helped many including Charles Grant, chairman of the East India Company, and M.P. for Inverness.

## Death

Forsyth died at Cromarty 30 January 1800.

## Personal life

He was twice married, first to Margaret Russell, who died within a year in childbirth, and next, after eleven years, to Elizabeth Grant, daughter of the Rev. Patrick Grant of Nigg, Ross-shire. He had nine children, only three of whom survived him. He and his family were large benefactors to Cromarty. Hugh Miller, himself a native of Cromarty, says: 'He was one of nature's noblemen; and the sincere homage of the better feelings is an honour reserved exclusively to the order to which he belonged.' He also says of the inscription on his gravestone in Cromarty churchyard, that its 'rare merit is to be at once highly eulogistic and strictly true.'

# Convict's Bay, Bermuda

Convicts' Bay (better known as Convict Bay) is a bay located in St. George's Harbour on the eastern side of St. George's Town on St. George's Island, Bermuda, and near to Ordnance Island.
The bay was part of the Royal Navy base in Bermuda, which was at St. George's from 1795 through the American War of 1812, pending construction of the Royal Naval Dockyard. It was subsequently part of St. George's Garrison until the 1950s, with HMCS Somers Isles, a Royal Canadian Navy training base, established there during the Second World War.

## History

Convicts' Bay was named after the use of the area as a prison. The British administration used obsolete warships as floating prisons, prison hulks, in New York City during the American War of Independence and applied them to use on the island. In 1799, a hulk was towed to Somerset Island, Bermuda and one more by 1824. Several would be used at the Royal Naval Dockyard and one at Convict Bay. Convict Bay was transferred to the Army in the 1860s (along with other Admiralty properties at the East End and in the Central parishes), and the army merged the facility with the adjacent St. George's Garrison, which overlooked it, and used the bay for various purposes (initially as a Royal Engineers yard) until the Second World War. The military detachments housed there were withdrawn to make way for the Royal Canadian Navy's HMCS Somers Isles for the duration of the war. It was part of the War Office and Admiralty lands slated for disposal in the 1950s.

## Today

After the departure of the military from Convict Bay and the rest of St. George's Garrison, the area is now a residential neighbourhood. Streets in the area reflect the neighbourhood's past:
* Convict's Bay Lane
* Barrack Hill
* Barrack Street
* Old Military Road
* Grenadier Lane
* Red Coat Lane
# Maggie Porter

Maggie Porter Cole (1853–1942) was a first-generation-freed slave, and she is most notable as an original member of the Fisk Jubilee Singers, one of only four members to participate in all three of the original tours by the group. She was known for her vocal talents as a soprano and also worked as a schoolteacher.

## Early life

Maggie Porter was one of three daughters born in Lebanon, Tennessee to a slave family belonging to Henry Frazier. At the start of the Civil War, Frazier moved to Nashville, taking Maggie's family with him, and when Union soldiers took and occupied the city, Frazier freed Maggie and her family after the publication of the Emancipation Proclamation. After she attended the Fisk Free Colored School, Maggie worked as a teacher in various country schools (one of which was burned down by the KKK). In the winter of 1870, Maggie was asked to sing the title role in Handel's "Cantata of Esther" by George White, a musical and choral director at Fisk. Her success in the role led to her being offered a position with the new Fisk Jubilee Singers.

## With the Jubilee Singers and later life

Porter traveled with the Jubilee Singers through all three of their original tours from 1871 to 1878 (with one exception). She sang lead soprano, and had a reputation as a diva. As a result, Porter was banished from the group for three months during their initial tour in 1871. After finishing the tours, she spent some time living out of the country in Germany before returning to the U.S. to participate in the "reorganized Fisk Jubilee Singers", which contained alumni of the original group but had no affiliation with Fisk. Later, she and her husband formed a new group (also called the Fisk Jubilee Singers) with a few alumni from the original Fisk Singers, and they toured the U.S., Canada, and Europe through the 1880s into the 1890s. She and her husband later moved to Detroit where they raised their family and continued to remain involved with local music. She returned to Fisk for the 60th anniversary celebration of the founding of the Fisk Jubilee Singers.
Maggie Porter died of natural causes at age 89 in 1942.
