Dub, King of Scotland

**Dub mac Maíl Choluim** (Modern Gaelic: _Dub mac Mhaoil Chaluim_; 20 May 928 — 10 July 967) nicknamed **the Vehement** (Scottish Gaelic: _a' Chaisteil_) or **the Black** (Scottish Gaelic: _an Dubh_) was the King of Scotland from 962 to 967. He was the son of Malcolm I of Scotland and Bethoc. He succeded his first cousin twice removed Indulf, the Scottish king who succeeded his father.

## Reign

On 1 July 962, King Indulf was killed at the Battle of Bauds while trying to kick off Viking invaders from Scotland. As the son and heir of Indulf's predecessor, Malcolm I, Dub ascended to the throne instead of Indulf's son and heir, Culen. When Dub first realized that he is now king, he was overjoyed as he had been waiting eight years for this.

Since Indulf had many success at the Battle of Bauds, Dub's first act as king was to continue the battle. He actively fought in the battle and won against the Vikings. Next Dub wanted to expand  stabilize, and make the kingdom more powerful. In 963, he built many towns for the poor people and would bring peace, stability, and prosperity to the Scottish people. All of this made him very popular and effective.

Dub then planned to reform the country and improve relations with England in 967. However, Dub was assassinated by a Scottish nobleman in Forres, Moray in July of the same year. It is exactly unclear who murdered Dub and why but it was said that the person who murdered Dub was a supporter of Culen, the son of the deceased Indulf. Culen then succeded to the throne.

Dub's body was not found until six days later on 10 July 967 where someone found his dead body under the bridge of Kinloss, around 4km from Forres, where Dub was killed. His body was taken on a bier to Iona where he was buried in Iona Abbey. Dub left behind one son, Cináeda, who would become the King of Scotland in 997 as Kenenth III after he killed King Constantine III, who was the son of Culen, Dub's successor.

## Death

He died in 967, leaving behind 2 children. His burial place has been lost and no one knows the exact place of his burial although it was most likely in 967 just after his death and in Iona, Scotland.

O'Hare station train crash

On March 24, 2014, a Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) Blue Line passenger train overran the bumper at the station at the O'Hare International Airport, injuring 34 people. The accident caused $11,196,796 in damage.

A spokesman stated that it was likely that the train entered the station at too high a speed. It was later estimated that the train entered the station at , which was not an excessive speed. At least 50 firefighters and paramedics attended the accident.

The derailed train was removed from the station on March 27, 2014, three days after the accident. The station reopened on March 30, 2014. The escalator damaged in the crash was replaced by stairs.

The cause of the accident was that the train operator, 25-year-old Brittney Tysheka Haywood, fell asleep at the controls. Although no legal action was taken against her, she lost her job as a result of the crash.

As a direct consequence of the accident, the CTA reduced the speed limit into the O'Hare station from  to . The area of the speed limit was also extended away from the station.
Andersonville National Historic Site

The **Andersonville National Historic Site** is the site of Camp Sumter (also known as Andersonville Prison) in Georgia. During the last 12 months of the American Civil War, Andersonville was a Confederate prisoner-of-war camp for captured Union Army soldiers. The Andersonville National Cemetery and the National Prisoner of War Museum are also at the Andersonville National Historic Site.

The site is near Andersonville, Georgia.  Most of it lies in southwestern Macon County.

## Andersonville Prison

About 45,000 Union prisoners were held at Camp Sumter during the war. Conditions were so terrible that nearly 13,000 of these prisoners (nearly 3 in every 10) died.

The camp was overcrowded, with four times as many prisoners as it was designed to hold.  There was not enough clean water, food, shelter, or sanitation. As a result, scurvy, diarrhea, and dysentery were the leading causes of death.

While imprisoned at Andersonville, Union Army soldier John Ransom wrote in his diary:> _There is so much filth about the camp that it is terrible trying to live here. With sunken eyes, blackened countenances from pitch pine smoke, rags, and disease, the men look sickening. The air reeks with nastiness._

### Aftermath

During the Civil War, Confederate Captain Henry Wirz ran Andersonville.  After the war, he was tried and found guilty of war crimes and executed.

Education in India is a diverse and multifaceted system that reflects the country's rich cultural, economic, and social diversity.  The education system in India is structured into different levels: pre-primary (preschool), primary (grades 1-5), upper primary (grades 6-8), secondary (grades 9-10), and higher secondary (grades 11-12). After completing higher secondary education, students can pursue undergraduate studies at colleges and universities

There is a growing emphasis on digital education and e-learning platforms, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, which accelerated the adoption of online learning methods.
