سجن تازمامرت

سجن تازمامرت
سِجْنُ تَزْمَامَرْت هو معتقل سياسي سري سابق، كان من بين أشهر السجون المغربية التي عرفت نشاطا مكثفا خلال ما سمي بسنوات الرصاص في المغرب وكان يتميز بالسرية الكبيرة والتعذيب. يقع على أطراف الصحراء الشرقية المغربية. فتح في أغسطس 1973 وأغلق بتاريخ 15 سبتمبر 1991، وسُجن فيه العسكريين الذين شاركوا في المحاولتين الانقلابيتين الصخيرات (1971) ومحاولة انقلاب أوفقير (1972). ثم معارضي النظام الملكي من أصحاب الرأي من يساريين خاصة. سجل عدد من قدامى مساجين تزمامرت مذكراتهم التي نشرت في كتب، ومن بينهم أحمد المرزوقي في كتابه «الزنزانة 10» ومحمد الريس، «تزمامرت»، ومذكرات كابازال سجناء تزمامرت لصلاح حشاد، ورواية تلك العتمة الباهرة للطاهر بن جلون التي يسرد فيها مذكرات السجين عزيز بنبين.
تاريخ
كانت السلطات الفرنسية إبان فترة الاستعمار تلجأ إلى نفي قادة الحركة الوطنية إلى هذه المنطقة، بين إملشيل وميدلت وقرى الرشيدية، المعروفة بقساوة طبيعتها وعزلتها عن العالم الخارجي. وقد شُيدت في قرية تزمامرت أول الأمر ثكنة عسكرية من خيام، قبل أن يتم الانتقال إلى الثكنة الجديدة التي أُضيفت لها، لاحقا بنايتان، ستشكلان مركز الإعتقال السري تزمامرت.
ساهمت العديد من المنظمات الحقوقية الوطنية والدولية وكذا عائلات المختفين والمعتقلين في تزمامرت في إخراج خبر وجود هذا السجن من السر إلى العلن. وقد شكلت سنة 1989 منعطفا حاسما حيث جرى تصوير المنطقة التي يوجد فيها هذا السجن في هذه السنة صدفة، عبر طائرة تابعة لإحدى القنوات الفرنسية، والتي كانت تقوم بإنجاز ريبورتاج في المنطقة، سنة بعد ذلك بادر النائب البرلماني محمد بنسعيد آيت يدر، عن منظمة العمل الديمقراطي الشعبي، إلى طرح سؤال حول مصير العسكريين المختفين من سجن القنيطرة، وقد فاجأ هذا السؤال الجميع، ومنذ ذلك الوقت تحول معتقل تزمامرت من السر إلى العلن.

51 Nemausa

51 Nemausa
Nemausa (minor planet designation: 51 Nemausa) is a large main-belt asteroid that was discovered on January 22, 1858, by Joseph Jean Pierre Laurent. Laurent made the discovery from the private observatory of Benjamin Valz in Nîmes, France. The house, at 32 rue Nationale in Nîmes, has a plaque commemorating the discovery. With Laurent's permission, Valz named the asteroid after the Celtic god Nemausus, the patron god and namesake of Nîmes during Roman times.
Based upon its spectrum, this is listed as a C-type asteroid in the Tholen classification taxonomy, and as a Cgh by Bus and Binzel (2002). This indicates a composition similar to carbonaceous chondrite meteorites. Absorption features in the spectrum indicate the presence of phyllosilicates. It may have a water content of about 14%.
The first stellar occultation was observed on August 17, 1979, from the Gissar and Alma-Ata observatories produced two chords which were used to estimate a diameter of 150 km for the asteroid. This is close to the present-day estimate of 147.9 km. Since then 51 Nemausa has been observed 20 times in stellar occultation.
Light curve inversion model DAMIT 1065 is a good match to a seven-chord occultation observed on 3rd September 2016, from which an equivalent Volume mean diameter of 146.4km, and an equivalent Surface mean diameter of 150.3 km was obtained.
Lightcurve data suggests that it may have a small moon. Nemausa has been studied by radar.

John Morrison (Manitoba politician)

John Morrison (Manitoba politician)
John Morrison (April 17, 1868—June 6, 1930) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1916 to 1922.
Morrison was born in Mount Forest, Ontario, the son of Scottish immigrants who had come to Canada one year earlier. In 1878, he moved with his family to Selkirk, Manitoba where he completed his education. He worked as a merchant and was for four years the Office Trustee of Grand Rapids, Manitoba. In 1890, he married Sadie Blimco. Morrison was a Presbyterian and an active freemason.
Morrison was first elected to the Manitoba legislature in a by-election on September 16, 1916, in the newly created northern constituency of Rupertsland. Running as an independent, he was declared elected without opposition. Morrison subsequently affiliated with the governing Liberal Party, and was again elected without opposition under its banner in the 1920 provincial election. During this period, he served as a backbench supporter of Tobias Norris's government.
The Liberals were defeated by the United Farmers of Manitoba in the 1922 campaign. The election in Rupertsland was deferred until after the rest of the province had voted; with the Liberal defeat already confirmed, Morrison chose not to run again.
He died in Swan River at the age of 62.
