Benoît Verhaegen
Benoît Verhaegen (1929–2009) was a Belgian academic and Africanist who specialised in the political sociology and post-colonial history of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Born into a Belgian aristocratic family, Verhaegen fought as a volunteer in the Korean War. He embarked on an academic career after his return to Belgium and took up a post in the Belgian Congo in 1959 shortly before its independence. Verhaegen's progressive political views meant that he sympathised with African nationalism and he remained in the country on-and-off until 1987. He taught at various universities in the Congo which became Zaire in 1971 and he became increasingly influenced by Marxism and Maoism.

Verhaegen's scholarly research was focused particularly on contemporary political movements in the Congo in the 1960s and 1970s. He termed his object of study "immediate history" (histoire immédiate) and published a number of important articles, books, and collections of documents.

Political sociology

Lion-Peugeot Types VC and VC1
The Lion-Peugeot Type VC and the Lion-Peugeot Type VC1 are early motor cars produced near Valentigney by the French auto-maker Lion-Peugeot between 1906 and 1910.

The cars, which differed very little from one another, were propelled using a single cylinder 1,045 cm³ four stroke engine, mounted ahead of the driver.   A maximum of between 8 and 9 hp of power was delivered to the rear wheels.

The Types VC and VC1 were in many ways similar to the manufacturer's Type VA which entered production in the same year, but they were slightly longer at 2,950 mm, with a wheel-base of 2,120 mm.   A carriage format Voiturette body provided space for two while the covered carriage Tonneau / Phaeton format body offered ample space for four.

Lion-Peugeot

Richard Housley
Richard Housley (8 May 1849 – 23 April 1881) was an English cricketer.  Housley was a right-handed batsman.  He was born at Mansfield Woodhouse, Nottinghamshire.

Housley made a single first-class appearance for Nottinghamshire against Yorkshire at Trent Bridge in 1870. Yorkshire won the toss and elected to bat first, making 108 all out.  In response, Nottinghamshire made just 56 all out, with Housley being dismissed by George Freeman for 2 runs.  In their second-innings, Yorkshire were dismissed for 122, leaving Nottinghamshire with a target of 175 for victory.  Nottinghamshire fell narrowly short of reaching that target, being dismissed for 172 to lose by 2 runs.  During their chase, Housley was run out for a single run. This was his only major appearance for the county.

He later stood as an umpire in two first-class matches at Bramall Lane in 1877, with Yorkshire playing Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. He died at the village of his birth on 23 April 1881.

Umpire (cricket)
In cricket, an umpire (from the Old French nompere meaning not a peer, that is, not a  member of one of the teams, impartial) is a person who has the authority to make decisions about events on the cricket field according to the Laws of Cricket. Besides making decisions about legality of delivery, appeals for wickets and general conduct of the game in a legal manner, the umpire also keeps a record of the deliveries and announces the completion of an over.

The umpires in cricket are not to be confused with the referee who usually presides only over international matches and makes no decisions affecting the outcome of the game.

The couple married in Seattle, Washington in 1895, two years before Minnie was born.

Minnie later would become known as "The Packer" throughout the Olympic Peninsula and Hoh River, where she lived off the land and worked for over 50 years as a guide (1927–1978), outfitter and notable packer for trips into the high Olympics wilderness of the Peninsula.  A campground in her namesake, the Minnie Peterson Camp and Picnic Area, resides along the Hoh River nine miles south of the town of Forks, on Upper Hoh Road.

2022 Alabama Amendment 1
Alabama Amendment 1, officially the Allow Denial of Bail for Offenses Enumerated by State Legislature Amendment, and commonly referred to as Aniah's Law, is an legislatively referred constitutional amendment that appeared on the ballot in the U.S. state of Alabama on November 8, 2022, concurrent with the 2022 United States elections. The amendment was approved by voters.

Legislative referral
A legislative referral (or legislative referendum) is a referendum in which a legislature puts proposed legislation up for popular vote. This may either be voluntarily or, as is the case in many countries for a constitutional amendment, as a mandatory part of the procedure for passing a law. These referrals, depending on the location, can either amend a constitution or enact a change in statute. It is a form of direct democracy. In some places it is known as an authorities referendum, authorities plebiscite, government initiated referendum, or top-down referendum It may originate from the legislative branch, executive branch, or a combination of the two.

An instrument of direct democracy, it is in contrast to citizens (or "bottom-up") initiative that is initiated from the public. With initiated statutes and amendments, voters both initiate and decide on the change of law. In a legislative referral, they only approve or reject laws which their legislature votes to place before them.

The neighborhood developed as Florence's first exclusive suburban development. Built over a period of about 45 years, (1920-1966) McFarland Heights has a wealth of high style buildings, most of which maintain their historic integrity.  The houses reflect the transition from pre- to post-World War II suburban American architecture, with one notable dwelling designed by Frank Lloyd Wright."

Jinniushan human
Jinniushan human is a fossil of archaic human that lived around 260,000 years ago during the late Chibanian (Middle Pleistocene) in northeastern China. It was discovered in 1984 from a collapsed cave at Jinniushan near Yingkou in Liaoning Province, and consisted of fragments of the skull cap (cranium), rib, hand and leg bones, allbeloning to a single individual of about 30 years of age. Originally named "Jinniushan Man" because of its robust features, reanalysis in 2006 identified the individual as a woman. With an estimated height of 168 centimetres (5 ft 6 in), it is the largest known female among human fossils. Although the brain case appeared similar to those of modern humans, the other skeletal features are more primitive, with several common structures to those of Homo erectus.

Hip bone
The hip bone (os coxae, innominate bone, or coxal bone) is a large flat bone, constricted in the center and expanded above and below. In some vertebrates (including humans before puberty) it is composed of three parts: the ilium, ischium, and the pubis.

The two hip bones join at the pubic symphysis and together with the sacrum and coccyx (the pelvic part of the spine) comprise the skeletal component of the pelvis – the pelvic girdle which surrounds the pelvic cavity. They are connected to the sacrum, which is part of the axial skeleton, at the sacroiliac joint. Each hip bone is connected to the corresponding femur (thigh bone) (forming the primary connection between the bones of the lower limb and the axial skeleton) through the large ball and socket joint of the hip.
