The union was formed in 2004, from the merger of the Danish Women Workers' Union and the Danish General Workers' Union.  In 2006, the Restaurant Trade Union merged in to 3F, while, at the start of 2011, it was joined by the Danish Timber Industry and Construction Workers' Union.

The 3F was an affiliate of the Danish Confederation of Trade Unions, and since 2019 has been a member of its successor, the Danish Trade Union Confederation (FH).  By the end of 2018, its membership had declined to 226,271, but it remained the largest affiliate of FH.

Congolese Association Football Federation

The Congolese Association Football Federation (, FECOFA) is the governing body of football in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It founded in 1919 and affiliated to the FIFA in 1964 and CAF in 1964. It organizes the national football league Linafoot and the national team.

The organisation was previously named the Zairian Association Football Federation (, FEZAFA) while the country was known as Zaire.

In September 2021, the General Inspectorate of Finance claims to have foiled an attempt to embezzle public funds. Fécofa, the Congolese Football Association, was forced to return nearly a million US dollars acquired fraudulently. This sum was initially allocated to the organization of a sporting event.

Scandal riddled, on April 25, 2023 the Bureau of the FIFA council has decided to appoint a normalization committee to run FECOFA's daily affairs.

City of Ghosts (2002 film)

City of Ghosts is a 2002 American crime thriller film co-written, directed by and starring Matt Dillon, about a con artist who must go to Cambodia to collect his share of money from an insurance scam. The film was made in Cambodia, in locations that include Phnom Penh and the Bokor Hill Station.

It premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2002, and was released in the United States on April 25, 2003.

Premise
Jimmy is a conman who has been working for an insurance company in New York City that the FBI is investigating since it cannot pay policyholder claims following a hurricane. The mastermind of the scheme and his mentor, Marvin, is in Thailand.

In Bangkok, Jimmy learns from Joseph Kaspar, a partner in the scheme, that Marvin is in Cambodia, where he is involved in a casino scheme. The roads are not safe so a guide takes Jimmy by back trail to Phnom Penh. There, he hires a cyclo driver named Sok, to take him to his destination, a run-down bar and hotel owned by a Frenchman named Emile.

He learns to trust the word of Sok when attempting to make contact as there are unsafe places and people. He meets an NGO worker named Sophie and dabbles in romance with her while attending a rave party at an ancient temple.

Marvin turns up, but the scam he is trying to put together – involving corrupt Cambodian government officials, high-ranking military and the Russian mafia – turns out to be more risky and dangerous than was anticipated.

Danish General Workers' Union

The Danish General Workers' Union (, SID) was a general union representing mostly unskilled and semi-skilled workers, in Denmark.

History
The union was founded in 1897 as the Danish Workers' Union (DA), becoming the Danish Workers' and Specialist Workers' Union (DASF) in 1959, then in 1974 adopted its final name.  It organised workers who were considered unskilled, or semi-skilled, in industries where the most skilled workers were represented by other unions.  This sometimes led to conflict, as it argued that the lowest-paid workers should receive the highest wage increases, to reduce pay differentials.

Over the years, numerous smaller unions have merged in to the Metalworkers' union. These include:

 1934: Danish Land Workers' Union
 1971: Danish Glass Workers' Union
 1972: Danish Gardeners' Union
 1973: Danish Paviours' Union
 1978: Danish Drivers' Union
 1983: Paper Industry Workers' Union
 1988: Ceramic Confederation
 1994: Danish Union of Bricklayers
 1994: Danish Seamen's Union
 1998: Danish Clothing and Textile Workers' Union
 2000: Graphics Federation (stationery section)
 2001: Danish Postal Union
 2001: Brewery Workers' Union

The union affiliated to the Danish Confederation of Trade Unions (LO) on formation, but left in 1925, rejoining in 1937.  From its formation until 1990, the SID was the largest union in Denmark, but it was then surpassed by the Danish Union of Commercial and Clerical Employees.  By 1997, it had 319,680 members, of whom about 37% worked in production, 31% in construction, 24% in transport, and the remainder in various other sectors.

At the end of 2004, the union merged with the Danish Women Workers' Union, to form the United Federation of Danish Workers.

Benin Football Federation

The Benin Football Federation () is the governing body of association football in Benin. It was founded in 1960, affiliated to CAF in 1963 and to FIFA in 1964. It organizes the national football leagues, including the Benin Premier League, and the national team.

2010 Africa Cup of Nations fallout
The FBF sacked the entire playing and coaching staff following the Benin national football teams exit from the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations, citing indiscipline and a lack of patriotism.

The Benin player Razak Omotoyossi said that the FBF had tried to 'tarnish' the image of the national team "We are not indisciplined players and they just want to tarnish our image...The truth is the players were fighting for their rights."

Omotoyossi acknowledged that there had been disputes between the players and the FBF but said the squad wanted things to be done properly. Omotoyossi said players had not been receiving their jerseys in time, and with wrong numbers, and that payments of allowances and bonuses to the players were also delayed.

2011 rival presidential bid
A rival group of officials within the FBF elected Victorien Attolou their new president in February 2011. Attolou was elected by a group that claimed president Moucharafou Anjorin was no longer in charge. Twelve of the fifteen member executive committee resigned after accusing Moucharafou of being a dictator. The election was held following the failure by FIFA to resolve the initial dispute between Moucharafou and the officials. Moucharafou stated that "I am unconcerned about the elections held over the weekend because I am still the man in charge of the federation".

FIFA later confirmed that Moucharafou was President of the federation.

Moucharafou arrest
Moucharafou was arrested and arraigned before a court in July 2011 for misappropriation of the FBF's funds. He was accused of embezzling US$650,000 sponsorship money from a mobile phone company between 2008 and 2010. Moucharafou was remanded in custody in prison, pending a trial, for which no date has been set.

Leigh Canham

Leigh Canham is a British scientist who has pioneered the optoelectronic and biomedical applications of porous silicon.

Leigh Canham graduated from University College London in 1979 with a BSc in Physics and completed his PhD at King's College London in 1983.

His early work in this area took place at the Royal Signals and Radar Establishment in Malvern, Worcestershire. 
Canham and his colleagues showed that electrochemically etched silicon could be made porous. This porous material could emit visible light when a current was passed through it (electroluminescence).
Later the group demonstrated the biocompatibility of porous silicon.

Canham now works as Chief Scientific Officer of psiMedica (part of pSiVida). According to the pSiVida web site, Canham is the most cited author on porous silicon. In a study of most cited physicists up to 1997 Canham ranked at 771.

Depaldo Stairs

The Depaldo Stone Steps (, also ) in Taganrog in Russia were constructed in 1823. They were the project of the swiss architect Francesco Boffo, with the funding of Taganrog's Greek merchant Gerasim Depaldo, at the crossroads of Greek Street (near Tchaikovsky House in Taganrog) and Depaldo Street (now Turgenevskaya Street) in Taganrog. The stairway begins up on the hill in downtown and goes down ending near the Sea of Azov foreshore (Pushkin Embankment).

In World War II, the Old Stone Steps were heavily damaged. In the 1970s they were reconstructed, but not finished. The new reconstruction was made in 2005. During the latest reconstruction all the old stone steps were replaced by new stones.
