Stubbs (cat)

**Stubbs** (April 12, 1997 – July 21, 2017) was an American cat who was the mayor of Talkeetna, Alaska from July 1997 until his death in July 2017. Until early 2017, Stubbs was still mayor, and has been described as a tourist attraction.

In 2013, Stubbs survived a serious attack by a dog. He was taken to a veterinarian with a punctured lung, a broken sternum, and a deep cut. People from all over the world sent money to help pay for his medical bills. The extra money was given to an animal shelter. Stubbs also survived being shot by teenagers with a BB gun, falling into a restaurant's fryer (which was cold at the time), and accidentally riding on a garbage truck to the edge of town.

At least one opinion writer for the _Alaska Dispatch News_ insisted that the whole story was false, and that Talkeetna, Alaska, did not, in fact, have a cat mayor. According to NPR, the cat could not have been elected as a write-in  candidate because "the tiny town has no real mayor, so there was no election."

Stubbs died on July 21, 2017 in Talkeetna at the age of 20 years.

Charlemagne Péralte

**Charlemagne Masséna Péralte** (1886 - 1 November 1919) was a leader in Haiti. He stood against the US Invasion of his country in 1915. He led fighters called the Cacos against the US forces in Haiti. The US needed to get more soldiers because Peraite was difficult to stop. Péralte is a hero in Haiti today.

## Early life

He was born in 1886 in the Hinche. He was named François Borgia Charlemagne Peralte, Date of birth on birth certificate: 10 October 1885. His father was General Remi Massena Peralte.

Source for correction: _1885–1985, Un Centenaire; Charlemagne Peralte,_, Georges Michel.  Privately published in Port-au-Prince, 1989. Footnote, p. 19. Cites research of Roger Gaillard concerning birth and baptismal certificates in _Premiere Ecrasement du Cacoism_, Port-au-Prince:Le Natal, 1981.  Also appears in Douglas Henry Daniels's English translation of Michel's book,_Charlemagne Peralte and the First American Occupation._ Dubuque, Iowa: Kendall/Hunt Publishing CO., 1996.

## Haitian fighters

An officer by career, Charlemagne Péralte was a  military officer and chief of the city of Léogane when the US Marines invaded Haiti in July 1915. (See United States occupation of Haiti (1915–1934)) He did not surrender to US troops without fighting, He quit his job and went home to Hinche to take care of his family's land. In 1917, he was arrested. He tried and failed to rob a police payroll. He was sent  to labor camp for five years. He escaped. He then got other fighters and began battles against US troops. Péralte's fighters were called "Cacos", a historic name of previous heroes. The Cacos were strong fighters. The US had to send more soldiers. The US had to use airplanes. The "Cacos" attacked Port-au-Prince in 1919, but did not win.

## Death and aftermath

Peralte and his "Cacos" fought for two years. He began a new a provisional government in the north of Haiti, He was betrayed by one of his officers, Jean-Baptiste Conzé. Conze led a US soldier into the camp of the "Cacos" near Grand-Rivière Du Nord. The US soldier was Herman H. Hanneken and was promoted afterwards.Péralte was shot in the heart at close range. His body was taken,

The US troops took a picture of Charlemagne Péralte's body tied to a door. The picture was shown in many parts of the country. The picture looked like the crucifixion and made Peralte a hero and a martyr. His body was removed from its grave in 1935 for a special funeral. The then-President of Haiti, Sténio Vincent attended. The funeral was held in Cap-Haïtien. His grave can still be seen today. A portrait of Charlemagne Péralte can now be seen on Haitian coins. These coins were stamped by the government of Jean-Bertrand Aristide after his 1994 return.

Belt and Road Initiative

The **Belt and Road Initiative** (BRI), also known as the **New Silk Road**, is a plan by the government of the People's Republic of China to build infrastructure for transportation, from China to other countries in Asia, Europe, and Africa. The project was announced in 2013. The "Belt" means the roads and railway tracks on land. The "Road" means sea routes.

At first, it was called "One Belt, One Road" (OBOR, Chinese: 一帶 一路 / 一带 一路, pinyin: Yidai Yilu).

A high-speed railway in Thailand is part of OBOR; the Bangkok-Phitsanulok High-Speed Railway is under construction (as of 2017).

The idea has always had its critics. There has been criticism about human rights violations and environmental impact. In the main, the critics do not expect most recipient countries to pay China back. In many cases there is not the slightest chance of repayment. Secondly, some (many?) of the railways are quite obviously "railways to nowhere". This is clearest in Africa.

"Some 150 countries have signed on to the Belt and Road with China, including 22 in Latin America", media said (2024).

Member countries in Europe, includes Hungary, Slovakia and Serbia.
