# Moose Jaw Canucks

The **Moose Jaw Canucks** were a junior ice hockey team based in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada. They were one of the founding members of the original Western Canada Junior Hockey League (1948–1956), and in 1966 were founding members of a new *Western Canada Junior Hockey League* (known since 1978 as the Western Hockey League) following a rebellion within the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. The franchise evolved from the **Moose Jaw Cubs** in the early 1930s.

The Canucks won the Abbott Cup in 1945 and 1947, making them the Junior "A" Champion for Western Canada and earning a playoff against the George Richardson Memorial Trophy\- winning Eastern Champion for the Memorial Cup. The Canucks lost their Memorial Cup competition against the Toronto St. Michael's Majors in both years.

## Franchise history

The Canucks played in the following leagues in their history:

In 1984, the Canucks folded to make room for the WHL's Moose Jaw Warriors, when that franchise transferred from Winnipeg. Another team, also known as the Moose Jaw Canucks, played in the South Saskatchewan Junior B Hockey League (now known as the Prairie Junior Hockey League) from 1992–94.

The Canucks legacy is survived by the Jr. C Canucks, who have played in the Saskatchewan Junior C Hockey League since 2006.

## WCJHL history

In the summer of 1966, the Canucks were one of five SJHL clubs that left the provincial league to join franchises in Calgary and Edmonton in the new Western Canada Junior Hockey League. The league was considered a "rebel league" by the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association, and thus denied the right to compete for Canadian junior hockey's top prize, the Memorial Cup.

In the WCJHL's inaugural season, the Canucks won the playoff championships despite finishing 4th in the overall standings. The following year, the Canucks would lose out in the playoff semi-finals after another 4th-place finish.

Concerned about the WCJHL's poor reputation with the CAHA and hoping to once again compete for the Memorial Cup, the Canucks, along with the Regina Pats and Weyburn Red Wings, would leave the WCJHL to return to the reborn SJHL. Following the reorganization of junior hockey in 1970, which saw the Western Canada Hockey League gain Tier-I status, and the SJHL being deemed Tier-II (not Memorial Cup eligible), the Canucks attempted to rejoin the WCHL but were denied. The Canucks would remain in the SJHL until the arrival of the Warriors.

text:
# Moritz von Bissing

**Moritz Ferdinand Freiherr von Bissing** (30 January 1844 – 18 April 1917) was a German officer from Prussia.

## Life and pre-WWI army career

Bissing was born at Ober Bellmannsdorf in the Province of Silesia. He was the son of Moritz von Bissing, a member of the landed gentry who was known to speak his mind to the Kaiser. In 1865 Bissing entered the Prussian Army as a lieutenant in the cavalry, and he soon saw active service in the Austro-Prussian War and the Franco-Prussian War. Gaining steady promotion, in 1887 the young Major was appointed as an aide-de-camp to the crown prince, who later became the Emperor Wilhelm II. He served in the guards cavalry until 1897, when he was given command of the 29th Infantry Division. From 1901 to 1907 Bissing commanded the VII Army Corps in Münster. In 1902 he was promoted to General of the Cavalry, and he retired from the army in 1908.

## First World War

Upon the outbreak of the First World War, Bissing was recalled to active duty as deputy commander of the VII Army Corps, serving in that post from August until November 1914. After the fall of Belgium during the early months of the War, Bissing was promoted to *Generaloberst* and appointed as Governor-General of occupied Belgium, serving from December 1914 until a few days before his death in 1917.

As governor-general, Bissing executed the German *Flamenpolitik*, during which he netherlandized the Ghent University to make it the first solely Dutch-speaking university in Belgium. As the German Chancellor Theobald von Bethmann Hollweg encouraged Flemish nationalist leaders to declare independence and to integrate into the German sphere, Bissing convened a commission to organise the division of Belgium, issuing a decree on 21 March 1917 which separated Belgium into two administrative areas, Flanders and Wallonia. This was the first attempt at dividing Belgium along linguistic lines.

Taking into account the decision by Walloon nationalists in 1912 to recognize Namur as the central city of Wallonia, Bissing established the Walloon administration there. Wallonia then consisted of four southern Belgian provinces and the district of Nivelles, part of the province of Brabant, thus realizing another revendication of the Walloon movement, the creation of a Walloon Brabant. The Flemish region had Brussels as its capital and was made up of the four northern provinces of Belgium, as well as the districts of Brussels and Leuven.

Among many others, Bissing signed the warrant for the execution of Edith Cavell.

In April 1917 a chronic lung ailment forced Bissing to resign his post as Governor-General, and he succumbed to his illness a few days later, dying near Brussels on 18 April. He is buried at the Invalidenfriedhof in Berlin.

He was trained in the Prussian military, becoming an officer in 1856. However, he soon became dissatisfied with military life, and within three years resigned his commission. In the meantime, he began learning Semitic languages with designs of traveling to lesser known regions of Africa.

# Goulds, Florida

**Goulds** is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States. The area was originally populated as the result of a stop on the Florida East Coast Railroad. The railroad depot was located near the current Southwest 224th Street. The community was named after its operator, Lyman Gould, who cut trees for railroad ties. It is part of the Miami metropolitan area of South Florida. As of the 2020 US census, the population stood at 11,446, up from 10,103 in 2010 US census.

## History

The area that became Goulds was settled in 1900 by homesteaders. It received its name when the Florida East Coast Railway built a siding in 1903, operated by an employee of the railroad named Lyman Goulds. It was first known as "Gould's Siding", and later shortened to "Goulds". Many packing houses were built along the Old Dixie Highway. Early on, Goulds had a reputation as a rough town, with several saloons serving itinerant field workers. Most of the packing houses were destroyed by a tornado in 1919, or the 1926 Miami Hurricane, but were rebuilt. Cauley Square, a former railway town located in Goulds, was restored by Mary Ann Ballard after she purchased the village in 1949.

## Geography

Goulds is located 20 miles (32 km) southwest of downtown Miami and 9 miles (14 km) northeast of Homestead at 25°33′39″N 80°23′0″W / 25.56083°N 80.38333°W / 25.56083; -80.38333 (25.560885, -80.383353). It is bordered to the north by South Miami Heights, to the northeast by Cutler Bay, and to the south by Princeton. According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 2.9 square miles (7.5 km2), of which 0.02 square miles (0.05 km2), or 0.61%, are water.

U.S. Route 1 (Dixie Highway) is the main road through the community.

# Goulburn Viaduct

The **Goulburn Viaduct** is a heritage-listed railway bridge that carries the Main Southern railway line across the Mulwaree River at Goulburn, in the Goulburn Mulwaree Council local government area of New South Wales, Australia. It was built in 1915. It is also known as **Mulwaree River Railway Viaduct**. The property is owned by Transport Asset Holding Entity, an agency of the Government of New South Wales. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.

## History

By the early 1900s much of the original single track railways in New South Wales had become inadequate for railway operations, particularly the busy Main Lines (South, West and North) through the Great Dividing Range. Plans were made to duplicate the tracks and at the same time ease the original steep grades and sharp curves, usually all achieved by deviation works.

It was a major programme beginning in 1910 and continuing to 1923. The dominant bridge building material was bricks, mostly from the 1912 State Brickworks at Homebush and mostly in the form of brick arches. This was due to (a) a general lack of expensive imported steel and (b) a long-standing government policy to see local materials used as much as possible. Even for short spans, 6.1 m (20 feet) and 9.14 m (30 feet), where a simple steel plate web girder would have been the norm, brick arches were built.

The quantity of bricks used in the programme was enormous so the period 1910-23 could be aptly described as the "era of brick arch construction". Thereafter, locally produced steel, from Newcastle and Port Kembla, displaced the use of bricks for superstructures, but large quantities of bricks continued to be used for piers, abutments and wings walls.

In the duplication programme, that of the Main South was the largest. It had been duplicated to Picton by 1892, then from 1913 to 1922 duplication was extended to Cootamundra, a distance of 343 km (213 miles), in sections but not always sequentially. For example, the 52 km first section from Picton to Bowral was one of the last completed in 1919 whereas the 89 km section, Bowral to Goulburn, had been completed in 1915.

The section of the Main South from Moss Vale to Goulburn has some of the largest brick arch viaducts, all associated with the Wollondilly River and its tributaries. Four of these have the brick piers of their 1869 bridges on their Up (north) sides.

The Goulburn Viaduct was built in 1915.

## Description

The Goulburn Viaduct is a large brick arch viaduct consisting of 13 x 13.1 m (43 feet) spans over the Mulwaree River in Goulburn. It is the longest viaduct on the Main South line. It is accessible from Mulwaree Street.

The abandoned skew brick piers of the 1869 single track railway are on the Up (north) side of the brick viaduct.

The bridge retains its original fabric and structure. It is in good physical condition.

## Heritage listing

The bridge has significance because it is part of the major duplication of the Main South Railway, the use of brick construction complements the natural environment, the duplication work contributed significantly to the continued development of South Western New South Wales, commercially through freight trains and socially through faster, better passenger trains and in the "era of brick arch construction", 1910–23, there were around 90 railway sites where brick arches singly and in multiples, for clear spans from 6.1 m (20 feet) to 13.1 m (43 feet) were built. This viaduct is the longest on the Main South with 13 x 13.1 m (43 feet) clear span brick arches. The bridge retains its original fabric and structure. On the Up (north) side there are the skw brick piers of the 1869 bridge for the original single track to Goulburn, built during the era of John Whitton, Chief Engineer of Railways in New South Wales.

Goulburn Viaduct was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999 having satisfied the following criteria.

**The place is important in demonstrating the course, or pattern, of cultural or natural history in New South Wales.**

The bridge is part of the major duplication of the Main South Railway, particularly the section from Moss Vale to Goulburn. From the first crossing of the Wollondilly River to the Mulwaree River at Goulburn, the duplication is next to the original 1869 single line. At both crossings of the Wollondilly River and at Boxers Creek and the Mulwaree River, the brick piers of the original bridges are still in place.

**The place has a strong or special association with a person, or group of persons, of importance of cultural or natural history of New South Wales's history.**

The bridge is readily accessible from Mulwaree Street, Goulburn and is set in a natural environment.

**The place is important in demonstrating aesthetic characteristics and/or a high degree of creative or technical achievement in New South Wales.**

The duplication work contributed significantly to the continued development of South Western New South Wales, commercially through freight trains and socially through faster, better passenger trains.

**The place has potential to yield information that will contribute to an understanding of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales.**

In the "era of brick arch construction", 1910–23, there were around 90 railway sites where brick arches singly and in multiples, for clear spans from 6.1 m (20 feet) to 13.1 m (43 feet) were built. This viaduct is the longest on the Main South Railway with 13 brick arches of 13.1 m (43 feet) clear spans.

**The place is important in demonstrating the principal characteristics of a class of cultural or natural places/environments in New South Wales.**

A good representative example of brick arch construction.

abstract: The Gooty Fort, also known as Ravadurg and Gutti Kota, is a ruined fort located on a hill in the Gooty town of Andhra Pradesh, India. The town of Gooty is located in the Ananthapur district of Andhra Pradesh. It is one of the centrally protected monuments of national importance.

# Gooty Fort

The **Gooty Fort**, also known as **Ravadurg** and **Gutti Kota**, is a ruined fort located on a hill in the Gooty town of Andhra Pradesh, India. The town of Gooty (originally, "Gutti") is located in the Ananthapur district of Andhra Pradesh. It is one of the centrally protected monuments of national importance.

## History

Eight inscriptions have been found on the rocks close to the Narasimha temple located within the fort premises. These inscriptions are seriously damaged, but appear to be from the reign of the Western Chalukya king Vikramaditya VI (r. c. 1076-1126 CE). The earliest of the existing fortifications and other structures can be dated to the late Chalukya period.

The fort later came under the control of the Vijayanagara Empire. During the reign of Venkata II (r. c. 1584-1614), the Vijayanagara lost the fort to the Qutb Shahi dynasty. The Mughals appear to have controlled the fort after their conquest of the Qutb Shahi capital Golconda. Around 1746 CE, the Maratha general Raja Murarirao Ghorpade captured the fort, and made it his permanent residence eight years later. He repaired the fort, and commissioned the stucco ornamentation of the small gateways.

In 1775 CE, the Mysore ruler Hyder Ali attacked and besieged the fort. After two months, Murari Rao was forced to surrender, as he ran out of water supplies. The fort later came under the control of the East India Company. Its administrator Thomas Munro was buried at the cemetery located at the foothill.

## Architecture

The fort is located on a group of hills that rise up to 680 m above the sea level. The hills are connected by lower spurs. The citadel of the fort is located on the westernmost hill. It has only one entrance known as "Mar Gooty." The summit of the citadel has two buildings, apparently a granary and a gunpowder magazine. The ruined Narasimha temple is located near the summit. On a 300 m high cliff, there is a small pavilion called "Murari Rao's seat", which provides a panoramic view of the town below. It is said that the Maratha general Murarirao Ghorpade used to play chess and swing here.

The lower fortifications comprise a series of ramparts, which are connected by gateways and flanked by bastions. Numerous reservoirs excavated on the rock clefts were used to trap the seasonal rainwater. 108 wells were also dug within the fort walls.

There are several ruined buildings within the fort, including granaries, storerooms, and magazines. Some of these were used as prisons by the East India Company administrator Thomas Munro.

Born in Kotzenau, Kronstein attended the elementary and Höhere Handelsschule in Glogau on the Oder and during the Second World War, he attended a special matriculation course in Königsberg. As a youth, he was still obliged to join the Wehrmacht in 1945 and ended up in war captivity.

Not even an adult, Kronstein came into the Luftangriffe 48 percent war-destroyed Hanover, where he was employed from 1946 to 1947 by the Hannover employment office as clerk for youth issues.

From 1947 to 1949, he assumed the chairmanship of the "Club junger Menschen" initiated by Theanolte Bähnisch and the Ada-und-Theodor-Lessing-Volkshochschule "Clubs junger Menschen". At the same time, Kronstein was able to begin his studies in 1947, first in economics, law and psychology at the Technische Hochschule Hannover, then in stage law and theatre management at the University of Cologne. He received his diploma in business administration in 1956.

While still a student in Hannover, Kronstein took private singing lessons with Irmel Holzapfel and Laurenz Hofer, who ran a singing studio with his wife Greta Hofer. Kronstein was awarded several prizes for vocal performances parallel to his studies, in Munich, in the Italian city of Vercelli and - with the first prize as baritone - in 1956 in Verviers, Belgium. Until 1968, he had engagements as a singer in Basel, Braunschweig and Essen.

From 1969 to 1975, Kronstein took over the management of three companies owned by his first wife's family.

In 1982, he married the opera singer Hildegard Uhrmacher.

From 1975 to 1989, Kronstein directed the Theatre am Aegi. In 1975, he joined the Hannoverscher Künstlerverein and took over its chairmanship from 1982 to 1993 in succession to Reimar Dahlgrün. In 1982, he became executive member of the Internationale Musikakademie für Solisten (IMAS) in Hannover.

Kronstein died in Hannover at the age of 70.

# Moses Hutchins House

The **Moses Hutchins House**, also known as the **Kimball-Stanford House**, is a historic house at the junction of Old Stage Road and Maine State Route 6 in Lovell, Maine. Built c. 1839, this two story wood-frame house and attached barn have retained their Federal period styling, while exhibiting the adaptive alteration of early farmsteads over time. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.

## Description and history

The main block of the Hutchins house is a 2+12-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a side gable metal roof, large central chimney, and a granite foundation. The main entry is centered on the southwest-facing main facade, framed by a Federal-style surround with sidelight windows, fluted pilasters, and a fan set in an entablature above the door. A two-story ell extends northwest from the main block, joining it to a modified English barn.

The interior of the house follows a typical central-chimney plan. The entrance opens into a narrow vestibule, which includes a narrow, winding staircase leading to the second floor. Parlor rooms lie to either side, and the kitchen is centered behind the chimney, with two small flanking chambers. The northwest chamber has been transformed into a narrow hall leading to the ell and a second staircase leading upstairs. The ell, apparently built in stages, has several spaces on the first floor; on the upper level, the right section has two bedrooms, while the center one houses an unfinished work room. The left-most section, adjacent to the barn, was apparently designated as a corn crib, although it does not seem well-suited to that purpose. The barn is a 2+12-story structure, originally a classic English barn, which has had a section added to its front, and its roof reoriented 90 degrees.

The house and barn were built c. 1839 by Moses Hutchins, and parts of the connecting ell were probably built not long afterward. The property was purchased in 1867 by Elbridge Kimball, who added the second staircase and further extended the ell. It is unclear when the barn was modified, especially in relationship to the final section of the ell, which connected it to the house.

The house is now owned by the Lovell Historical Society, which uses it as a museum and research center.

# Goran Hadžić

**Goran Hadžić** (Serbian Cyrillic: Горан Хаџић, pronounced \[ɡǒran xǎdʒiːtɕ\]; 7 September 1958 – 12 July 2016) was a Croatian Serb politician and President of the self-proclaimed Republic of Serbian Krajina, during the Croatian War of Independence. He was accused of crimes against humanity and of violation of the laws and customs of war by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.

Hadžić was charged with 14 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity. The charges included criminal involvement in the "deportation or forcible transfer of tens of thousands of Croat and other non-Serb civilians" from Croatian territory between June 1991 and December 1993, including 20,000 from Vukovar; the forced labour of detainees; the "extermination or murder of hundreds of Croat and other non-Serb civilians" in ten Croatian towns and villages including Vukovar; and the "torture, beatings and killings of detainees", including 264 victims seized from Vukovar Hospital.

The Tribunal's last remaining fugitive, Hadžić was captured by Serbian authorities in 2011. In 2014 he was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer; he died two years later at the age of 57. The ICTY trial was terminated upon his death.

## Early life

Hadžić was born in the village of Pačetin, at the time in SR Croatia, SFR Yugoslavia; and in his youth was politically active as a member of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia. Prior to the Croatian War of Independence, Hadžić worked as a warehouseman. He was president of the local community of Pačetin. In the Spring of 1990, as a representative of the League of Communists Party for Democratic Changes, he was elected to the Municipal Committee of Vukovar.

On 10 June 1990 he joined the Serbian Democratic Party (SDS) and was elected president of the party's branch in Vukovar. In March 1991 he was president of the Municipal Committee of Vukovar, a member of the Main Committee and Executive Committee of the Serb Democratic Party in Knin, and president of the Regional Committee of the Serb Democratic Party for Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Syrmia. Before 25 June 1991, he was a leader of the Serbian National Council of Slavonia, Baranja and Western Syrmia and of the Serbian Democratic Forum, which covered Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Syrmia.

## Croatian War

Hadžić was involved in the Plitvice Lakes incident in late March 1991, beginning the Croatian War of Independence. On 25 June 1991, a group of eastern Slavonian Serbs organized a congress (*Velika narodna skupština Slavonije Baranje i Zapadnog Srema*) where they decided to constitute a "Serb Autonomous Oblast" (SAO) of the region, the SAO Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Syrmia, and also to separate the region from the Republic of Croatia, which was still part of Yugoslavia. Hadžić was elected as a candidate to lead the entity's government.

On 26 February 1992 the two Slavonian SAOs formally joined the self-proclaimed Republic of Serbian Krajina (RSK), while the Assembly of the RSK replaced Milan Babić with Hadžić as the new Premier of the Republic of Serbian Krajina. Babić was deposed because he argued against the Vance peace plan, unlike Milošević. Hadžić was reported to have boasted that he was "a messenger for Slobodan Milošević". He held the leadership position until December 1993.

In September 1993, when Croatia started Operation Medak Pocket, Hadžić sent an urgent request to Belgrade for reinforcements, arms and equipment. The request was ignored by the Serbian officials, although some 4,000 paramilitaries under the command of Arkan (Serb Volunteer Guard), arrived, to bolster the RSK army. In February 1994, Hadžić's presidency ended when Milan Martić was elected president. In 1995, he threatened to have the eastern Slavonian district secede from Krajina because of plans to unite Krajina with Republika Srpska.

After Operation Storm in August 1995, parts of RSK in eastern Slavonia remained outside the Croatian government's control. Between 1996 and 1997, Hadžić was President of the Srem-Baranja district, after which the region was peacefully reintegrated into Croatia under the provisions of the Erdut Agreement. Hadžić subsequently moved to Serbia in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. In 2000, he attended the funeral of indicted war criminal Željko Ražnatović-Arkan in Belgrade, calling him a "big hero".

## Croatian war crimes charges

Hadžić was prosecuted and tried *in absentia* in Croatia on two counts: in 1995 he was convicted for rocket attacks on Šibenik and Vodice, and sentenced to 20 years in prison; in 1999 he was convicted for war crimes in Tenja, near Osijek, and sentenced to an additional 20 years imprisonment. In 2001, Interpol put him on its Most Wanted Fugitives list and issued a Red corner notice.

In 2002, Croatia's state attorney brought another indictment against Hadžić, the so-called Vukovar Three (Veselin Šljivančanin, Mile Mrkšić and Miroslav Radić) and the Yugoslav People's Army's senior commanders, alleging the murder of almost 1,300 Croats in Vukovar, Osijek, Vinkovci, Županja and elsewhere.

## ICTY charges

The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia indicted Hadžić for war crimes on 4 June 2004.

Hadžić faced 14 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity for his alleged involvement in the forcible removal and murder of thousands of Croatian civilians from the Republic of Croatia between 1991 and 1993. His indictment specifically cites the 1991 Vukovar massacre of 250 mostly Croats, from the Vukovar hospital; the Dalj, Erdut and Lovas massacres; involvement in Stajićevo, Begejci and Sremska Mitrovica camps; and the alleged wanton destruction of homes and religious and cultural buildings in Dalj, Erdut, Lovas, Tovarnik and Vukovar.

In the weeks before his arrest, Hadžić disappeared from his home in Novi Sad, Serbia. In 2005, Serbian media reported he might be hiding in a Serbian Orthodox monastery in Irig or in Bijela, Montenegro. Nenad Čanak, the leader of the League of Social Democrats of Vojvodina, claimed in 2006 that Hadžić was hiding in a monastery somewhere on Fruška mountain. At one point he was also rumoured to be hiding in Belarus.

In October 2007, the Serbian government council for national security had offered €250,000 for information leading to Hadžić's arrest. In 2010, the Rewards for Justice Program was offering an award of up to US$5 million for information leading to Hadžić's arrest.

In 2010, Serbia raised the reward for Hadžić's arrest to US$1.4 million. When asked by the press whether Hadžić's trial could be transferred from the ICTY, Croatian Serb politician Milorad Pupovac indicated that Serbia should try Hadžić.

Serbian police raided Hadžić's home on 9 October 2009 and impounded some of his belongings but did not make any statements following the operation.

In 2010, the Council of the European Union blocked Hadžić's family from entering the EU. After the arrest and extradition of the penultimate war-crimes fugitive, Ratko Mladić, the European Union continued to insist on the arrest and extradition of Hadžić to the Hague to face trial. And stated that his fugitive status was holding back Serbia's membership in that body

### Arrest

On 20 July 2011, Serbian President Boris Tadić announced that Hadžić had been arrested by Serbian authorities. He added that the arrest closed a "difficult chapter" in Serb history.

Police located him near the village of Krušedol on the slopes of Fruška Gora at 20:24, where he was presumed to have been since he went into hiding following the ICTY indictment.

A stolen Modigliani painting led investigators to discover his whereabouts. Looking to cash in on the portrait, Hadžić was tracked down by authorities after trying to sell it.

At the time of his arrest he was the last remaining fugitive indicted by the ICTY. He was taken into custody in the Fruška Gora, and had his extradition hearing in Belgrade before a Special Court, which found that all of the prerequisites for extradition to the Hague had been met. He did not appeal his extradition.

Reaction

With the arrest, one of the obstacles to Serbia's entry into the EU was removed, and the country thus, according to the *New York Times*, "completed its obligations to the United Nations tribunal". EU leaders congratulated Serbia for his arrest and called it a signal of Serbia's commitment to "a better European future."

The Netherlands' Foreign Minister Uri Rosenthal said of the arrest that "it is of course another good step that has been taken. After Mladić was arrested, we said to the Serbs: now it is really down to you making that last step and catching Hadžić \[to further EU succession\]. And that has now happened. That involves human rights, tackling corruption and fraud, getting the economy in order and not least, co-operation with the Yugoslavia tribunal. That last point is really happening."

Extradition

On 22 July, Justice Minister Snežana Malović announced that he had been extradited to the Hague in a small Cessna plane after being allowed visits by his sick mother, wife, son and sister in a convoy of jeeps and police cars that left the detention unit of the Serbian war crimes court in the morning and headed first to Novi Sad and then to Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport. He arrived at Rotterdam airport after he refused to appeal his extradition orders.

The Croatian government directed its Chief Public Prosecutor's Office and the Ministry of Justice to "take all the necessary steps" to bring Hadžić to a war crimes trial in the country to face other "serious crimes" they claimed that had been committed in Croatia. The government of Croatia was said to have wanted to ensure that Hadžić serve the two prison sentences previously ordered *in absentia* by Croatian courts.

### Trial and death

Hadžić's initial arraignment before the ICTY was on 25 July and lasted 15 minutes. He declined to enter a plea to charges arising from the war in Croatia. His duty counsel Vladimir Petrovic said Hadžić would not "enter a plea today. He is going to avail himself of the rights granted to him..."

Hadžić pleaded not guilty at his second appearance before the tribunal on 24 August. The prosecutors announced they would call 141 witnesses, seven of them experts whose reports would be submitted later. Also announced was testimony from 82 fact witnesses, 20 of whom would give evidence in court. Transcripts of testimonials from the remaining 62 would be submitted into evidence, and the defense would have the opportunity to cross-examine the witnesses later.

Prosecutors received a total of 185 hours to examine the witnesses and experts-in-chief. The trial began on 16 October 2012. The prosecution completed its case in November 2013, and in February 2014 the tribunal rejected Hadžić's mid-trial motion for acquittal. Hadžić had argued that the prosecutor had produced insufficient evidence to convict. Hadžić was then required to put on his defense.

Hadžić was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in November 2014. His trial was suspended in October 2014 as he was unable to take part due to the side effects of his treatment, which included chemotherapy. The prosecution wanted the trial to proceed in his absence but no decision was made. In April 2015 the court ordered Hadžić's provisional release, and he was sent back to Serbia. Hadžić died of his cancer the following year on 12 July 2016, aged 57.

# Mordovia Airlines

**Saransk Air Enterprise** (Saranskoe aviapredpriatie) was an airline based in Saransk, Mordovia, Russia. It operated regional scheduled and charter passenger services, as well as aerial work.

## History and route network

In 1965, within the framework of the Volga Civil Aviation Directorate of the USSR Ministry of Civil Aviation, the Saransk United Aviation Detachment was created. The enterprise was created on the basis of a separate squadron An-2 of the Penza air squadron.

In January 1980, its own flight division was formed on the basis of An-24 aircraft, and an artificial B-class runway was put into operation. The detachment operated aircraft of the An-2, An-24, An-26 types, and the detachment was also involved in the operation of the Saransk airport. In Soviet times, Saransk operated flights to Volgograd, Voronezh, Gorky, Ivanovo, Yoshkar-Ola, Kazan, Kiev, Krasnodar, Kuibyshev, Leningrad, Moscow. Mineralnye Vody, Perm, Rostov-on-Don, Saratov, Sverdlovsk, Simferopol, Sochi, Tambov, Cheboksary and other cities of the USSR.

The airline was established and started operations in 1992. It was formerly the Aeroflot Saransk Division.

After the collapse of Aeroflot in 1993, Saransk OJSC was transformed into a federal state unitary enterprise (FSUE).

In 2006, after the bankruptcy of the Saransk United Aviation Squadron, the Open Joint Stock Company Mordovia Airlines was created on its basis, 100% of the shares of which belonged to the Republic of Mordovia represented by the State Autonomous Institution of the RM “Property Fund”.

In 2008, the aircraft of the airline carried 17.21 thousand passengers, in 2010 - 21 thousand, in 2011 - 15 thousand

In the 2011 summer season, the airline operated flights to Sochi. Also, the aircraft of the airline performed charter flights to various cities of Russia, and were engaged in the transportation of sports teams, including FC Mordovia Saransk.

The operator's certificate of the air carrier was suspended since 21 October 2011 on the basis of the Federal Air Transport Agency's act dated 09/28/2011, drawn up based on the results of an audit that revealed a deterioration in production performance and financial and economic condition, but a few days later the Federal Air Transport Agency for unspecified reasons restored this certificate.

In 2012, the airline considered the possibility of replenishing the fleet with An-140 aircraft.

According to the official website of the airline, until February 2013 there were regular flights to Moscow Domodedovo Airport twice a day on Mondays and Fridays, and one flight on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. To perform these flights, instead of the actual aircraft fleet, since 2012, the CRJ-100 and CRJ-200 aircraft of RusLine have been involved, the flights were operated jointly.

On 12 February 2013, the Federal Air Transport Agency decided to cancel the airline's operator certificate due to the deterioration of flight safety performance and the failure of the management of Mordovia Airlines to take effective measures to eliminate the repeatedly noted inconsistencies with certification requirements. In the spring of 2013, the airline made its last flight.

On 13 February 2013 Russian aviation authorities revoked AOC of the company due to safety issues as a number of violations of pilots' worktime limits were revealed.

title: Goupy No.2

abstract: The Goupy No.2 was an experimental aircraft designed by Ambroise Goupy and Mario Calderara and built in France in 1909 at the Blériot factory at Buc. The Goupy No.2 is significant for two major and influential innovations in aircraft design: it was the first tractor configuration biplane to fly and the first biplane to feature staggered wings, built with a landing gear configuration nearly identical in appearance to the Blériot XI monoplane, flown earlier that year. While both these features would very soon become the norm in aircraft design, the No.2 was described in the aviation press at the time as having a "somewhat unusual design". The only features that would not be typical of aircraft in the years to come would be its biplane tail unit, and the whole-chord wingtip ailerons fitted to both upper and lower wings. The uncovered wood box-girder fuselage, typical of early aircraft, was later covered. It first flew in March 1909, and the following year was displayed at the Paris Salon. It flew competitively at the 1910 Reims air show, and made exhibition flights at British aviation meets at Burton and Doncaster, piloted by Emile Ladougne. The Goupy No.3 differed only in detail: the biplane tail was replaced by a single elevator, the undercarriage was modified, and changes were made to the controls.

# Katherine Ross (died 1697)

**Katherine Ross** born **Katherine Collace** (1635 – 10 July 1697) was a Scottish Covenanter, memoirist and schoolmistress.

## Life

Ross was born in Edinburgh in about 1635. Her parents were Marion (born Muirhead) and Francis Collace. Her father was the minister of Gordon and he died when she was about twelve. Her four sisters included Elizabeth and the writer Jean Collace. When she was about fourteen she was converted by the eventual martyr Hugh Mackail who was then the minister at Trinity in Edinburgh.

On 31 January 1650, she married the "wicked" John Ross. They had twelve children, but none of them survived. Katherine summarised her marriage as "24 years of affliction". By 1667 and after the assistance of Thomas Hog she was radical about her religion. She had become a follower of the Covenanters who believed that they should follow the lead of the Presbyterians.

Her husband died in 1674 and she and her sister Jean moved to Fife and the village of Falkland. The two of them became schoolmistresses nominally teaching needlework to the children of the local gentry, but it is speculated that they were also providing religious guidance. She was well read and a good writer. She was asked to record her life and her religious experiences.

In 1679, the Battle of Bothwell Bridge took place on 22 June 1679. Government troops defeated militant Presbyterian Covenanters. Ross was one of these Covenanters but she did not support this level of militancy.

Ross died in Edinburgh on 10 July 1697. In 1735 her "*Memoirs or spiritual exercises*" were arranged to be formally published by the minister James Hog, although there are three manuscript copies extant which show that her writings were distributed before this.
