He was the son of New York City mogul Seymour Durst, and the elder brother of Douglas Durst, head of the Durst Organization. His crime allegations and trial were covered in the HBO miniseries _The Jinx_.

Durst was the subject of a multi-state manhunt and was convicted of dismembering Black, but acquitted of his murder.

On March 14, 2015, Durst was arrested in New Orleans, Louisiana, on a first-degree murder warrant signed by a Los Angeles judge in relation to the Berman killing. On November 4, 2016, Durst was transferred to California and soon after was arraigned in Los Angeles on first-degree murder charges.

On September 17, 2021, the jury convicted Durst of first degree murder in the death of Susan Berman.

## Death

On October 16, 2021, Durst tested positive for COVID-19 and was placed on a ventilator. He died on January 10, 2022 from cardiac arrest at a medical center in French Camp, California at the age of 78. His health got worse after getting COVID in October and he also had bladder cancer.

Elizabeth Eckford

**Elizabeth Eckford** (born October 4, 1941) was a member of the Little Rock Nine. This was a group of African-American students who became the first black students ever to attend classes at Little Rock Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. They were able to attend the school after a court case, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka. The court ordered that schools had to integrate black and white students. Elizabeth's attempt to go to school was photographed on the morning of September 4, 1957. She was prevented from entering the school by the Arkansas National Guard. A dramatic snapshot by Johnny Jenkins (UPI) showed the young girl being followed and threatened by an angry white mob; this and other photos of the day's startling events were circulated around the US and the world by the print press.

The most famous photo of the event was taken by Will Counts of the Arkansas Democrat. His photo was the unanimous selection for a 1958 Pulitzer Prize, but since the story had earned the Arkansas Gazette two other Pulitzer Prizes already, the Prize was awarded to another photographer for a pleasant photograph of a two-year-old boy in Washington, D.C. A different photo taken by Counts of Alex Wilson, a black reporter for the Memphis Tri-State Defender being beaten by the angry mob in Little Rock the same day, was chosen as the "News Picture of the Year" for 1957 by the National Press Photographers Association. This image by Counts prompted President Dwight D. Eisenhower to send federal troops to Little Rock.

### _Youm7_ English Edition

On 8 August 2011, managing director Sallie Pisch announced the launch of _Youm7 English Edition_, stating that the English-language paper aimed to fill the gap in "quality, understandable news coverage coming out of Egypt in English." _Youm7 English Edition_ also managed an Egypt Wiki that "aims to provide background info on Egyptian politicians, public figures and organizations in one location."

Carl-Henrik Hermansson

**Carl-Henrik** "**C.-H.**" **Hermansson** (14 December 1917 – 26 July 2016) was a Swedish politician. He was born in Bollnäs, Sweden. He was chairman of the Communist Party of Sweden (during his leadership renamed to _the Left Party – Communists_) from 1964 to 1975 and member of parliament from 1963 to 1985. He was a major force in redirecting the Left Party Communists policies away from Moscow loyalism towards Eurocommunism and Scandinavian Popular Socialism.

At the time of Joseph Stalin's death in 1953, Hermansson heaped praise on Stalin's greatness in a few speeches, something he was regularly reminded of by journalists and political opponents, even though he repeatedly made public his regret for the things said.

Hermansson died on 26 July 2016 at the age of 98.

**Kamchatka Time**, also known as **Anadyr Time (ANAT)** is a time zone in eastern Russia that is 12 hours ahead of UTC (UTC+12:00). It contains the Kamchatka Peninsula and the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. Its summer time zone was **Kamchatka Summer Time**, or **Anadyr Summer Time** (ANAST) (UTC+13:00).

Pliny's Comedy and Tragedy villas

**Pliny's Comedy and Tragedy villas** were two Roman villas owned by Pliny the Younger in the 1st century. They were on the shores of Lake Como in northern Italy. Pliny had several villas on Lake Como. He wrote to his friend Voconius Romanus that the Comedy villa and the Tragedy villa were his two favorites. In Italy, the villas are called **Villa Commedia** and **Villa Tragedia**. In Italian, "commedia" means "comedy" and "tragedia" means "tragedy".

In his letter to Voconius Romanus Pliny also wrote that the Tragedy villa was on a hill above the lake but that the Comedy villa was right on the water's edge. Their names come from the theatre of ancient Greece and Rome. Pliny said that the villa on the hill was like the actors in tragedies who wore platform boots. He named that villa "Tragedy". The villa down by the water was like the actors in comedies who wore flat slippers. He named that villa "Comedy". Both villas were destroyed long ago. No one is sure exactly where they stood.

Most people think that the Tragedy villa  was in Bellagio, a small town on Lake Como. People are less sure where the Comedy villa was. The historian Paolo Giovio (1483-1552) thought that by the 16th century the Comedy villa was under the water of Lake Como near the village of Lenno. The geographer Abraham Ortelius (1527–1598) also wrote that the Comedy villa was in Lenno. But in 1876 a Roman mosaic floor and many Roman coins were found in Lierna, another small town on Lake Como. Many people there now think that the mosaic floor was part of the Comedy villa. In the early 20th century the French geographer Élisée Reclus wrote that Lierna was the site of one of Pliny's villas, but he did not say which one.

In 1751 John Boyle, 5th Earl of Orrery, published his English translation of Pliny's letters. The letter to Voconius Romanus describing the Comedy and Tragedy villas was illustrated with an imaginary picture of the Comedy villa drawn by Samuel Wale. The art historian Pierre de la Ruffinière du Prey, has said that the villa in Wale's drawing looks like Alexander Pope's villa on the River Thames in London. Alexander Pope was a friend of John Boyle. Pliny's own description of the Comedy villa in his letter said that its terrace was gently curved like the shore of the lake. He could fish directly from his bedroom window. He said that lying in his bed at the Comedy villa was like lying in a fishing boat on the lake.

Batman: The Killing Joke

***Batman: The Killing Joke*** is a 1988 DC Comics graphic novel featuring the characters Batman and The Joker.  It was written by Alan Moore and illustrated by Brian Bolland. _The Killing Joke_ gives an origin story for the supervillain the Joker, loosely based from the 1951 story arc "The Man Behind the Red Hood!". Taking place over two timelines, _The Killing Joke_ shows the Joker trying to drive Jim Gordon insane and Batman's desperate attempt to stop him.

The story's effects on the mainstream Batman continuity also included the shooting and paralysis of Barbara Gordon (a.k.a. Batgirl), an event that laid the groundwork for her to develop the identity of Oracle.

_The Killing Joke_ is thought to be one of the greatest comics of the 20th century.

An animated movie version was made in 2016 starring Kevin Conroy as Batman and Mark Hamill as the Joker.
Batman: The Killing Joke (movie)

***Batman: The Killing Joke*** is a 2016 American animated superhero movie produced by Warner Bros. Animation and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. It is based on the graphic novel of the same name by Alan Moore and Brian Bolland.

The movie is directed by Sam Liu, written by Brian Azzarello and stars the voices of Kevin Conroy, Mark Hamill, Tara Strong, and Ray Wise with Brian George. Like the novel, the movie follows The Joker's kidnapping and mission to drive police commissioner James Gordon insane, and Batman's desperate attempts to stop him.

Originally meant to be released directly on home video, due to its popularity, the movie was released in theaters and digitally on July 25, 2016 for a special one-night event, before a DVD and Blu-ray release on August 2, 2016. It grossed $4.4 million worldwide.

Critics and fans said that the first half of the film felt unnecessary and disconnected to the second half, although the specific criticism from these viewers is just of ageist, neo-puritanical and bigoted nature, specifically involving the romantic and sexual relationship between Batgirl and Batman already established even in other continuities, so the credibility and reliability of said criticism is dubious to say the least.
