# Maudelle Shirek

**Maudelle Shirek** (June 18, 1911  April 11, 2013) was an American activist, former Vice Mayor and eight-term City Council member in Berkeley, California.

## Biography

Shirek was born in Jefferson, Arkansas and grew up on a farm, the granddaughter of slaves. She moved to Berkeley in the 1940s and immediately gained a reputation for her dedication to civil rights issues. She married Brownlee Shirek and worked as office manager for the Co-op Credit Union.

She was active in the anti-war movement, was a staunch union supporter, founded two Berkeley senior centers, championed HIV/AIDS awareness, and helped organize the Free Mandela movement. She was one of the first elected officials in the United States to advocate for a needle exchange program.

After being forced to retire from her job as director of a Berkeley senior center because of her age, Shirek ran for city council at the age of 73. She served 8 consecutive terms from 1984 to 2004. At the end of her tenure, aged 92, she was one of the oldest elected officials in the State of California.

In 2005, Berkeley sought to name the Berkeley main post office after Shirek, but the attempt was defeated in Congress due to Republican opposition led by Iowa Congressman Steve King, who took issue with her connection to Oakland's Niebyl-Proctor Marxist Library and her support for the release of Mumia Abu-Jamal.

In 2007, the Berkeley City Council renamed the Old Berkeley City Hall in her honor. A *San Francisco Chronicle* article referred to Shirek as "the godmother of East Bay progressive politics."

# Thornfalcon

**Thornfalcon** is a village and civil parish in Somerset, England, situated 4 miles (6.4 km) east of Taunton. The village has a population of 119. The parish includes the hamlet of **Ash**. The name comes from Thorn, and the personal name Fagun (now Falcon) which was the Norman surname of Sir Gilbert of Thorn, whose family were lords of the manor until the 14th century.

## History

The parish of Thorne Falcon was part of the North Curry Hundred. The manor was bought from the Burridges of Lyme Regis by Nathaniel Butler Batten of Yeovil whose descendants, known as Chisholm-Batten from 1859 lived at Court House.

The Battlements was built by the Chisholm-Batten family in the early-mid 19th century. It was originally a school building, but is now a private house, whilst the Court House is older, dating from the late 15th century.

The parish Church of the Holy Cross dates from the 14th century and was restored in 1882 by Benjamin Ferrey. It is designated as a grade I listed building.

## Governance

For local government purposes, since 1 April 2023, the village comes under the unitary authority of Somerset Council. Prior to this, it was part of the non-metropolitan district of Somerset West and Taunton (formed on 1 April 2019) and, before this, the district of Taunton Deane (established under the Local Government Act 1972). From 1894-1974, for local government purposes, Thornfalcon was part of Taunton Rural District.

The parish council has responsibility for local issues, including setting an annual precept (local rate) to cover the council’s operating costs and producing annual accounts for public scrutiny. The parish council evaluates local planning applications and works with the local police, district council officers, and neighbourhood watch groups on matters of crime, security, and traffic. The parish council's role includes initiating projects for maintenance and repair of parish facilities, as well as consulting with the district council on the maintenance, repair, and improvement of highways, drainage, footpaths, public transport, and street cleaning. Conservation matters (including trees and listed buildings) and environmental issues are the council's responsibility.

It is part of the Taunton and Wellington county constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election.

## Transport

There was a station on the Chard Branch Line that closed in 1962. The road bridge over the line is designated as a Grade II listed building. The village is near the Great Western Railway and the Chard Canal — the road bridge over the canal is also listed.

abstract: Thomas Smith was a politician and jurist from Pennsylvania.

text:
# Thomas Smith (Pennsylvania judge)

**Thomas Smith** (1745  March 31, 1809) was a politician and jurist from Pennsylvania.

## Formative years

Born near Cruden, Aberdeenshire, Scotland in 1745, Smith attended the University of Edinburgh, and then immigrated to the United States, where he settled in Bedford, Pennsylvania on February 9, 1769. He became a deputy surveyor that same year. Smith then studied law, was admitted to the bar, and began practicing as a lawyer in 1772.

## Career

In 1773, Smith became a deputy register of wills and prothonotary, and a justice of the peace in 1774.

When the Revolutionary War broke out, Smith served as a deputy colonel of a militia unit.

In 1776, he was appointed as a delegate to Pennsylvania's constitutional convention and was then elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, serving in that capacity from 1776 until 1780. Smith was then chosen to be a delegate to the Continental Congress from 1781 to 1782.

Appointed as a judge of the Pennsylvania court of common pleas in 1791, Smith was subsequently appointed to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, a post he held from 1794 until 1809.

## Death and interment

Smith died in Philadelphia on March 31, 1809 and was buried in Christ Church Burial Ground.

## Controversy

While serving as a justice on the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, Smith was impeached on March 23, 1804 by the Democratic–Republican-led Pennsylvania House of Representatives, along with two other Federalist justices of the Supreme Court, Edward Shippen IV and Jasper Yeates. The sole Democratic–Republican member of the court, who had been not in attendance on the day the court heard the case central to the impeachment, was not impeached. The justices were not removed, being acquitted in their impeachment trial before the Pennsylvania Senate in the vote held on January 28, 1805.

title: Franz Stabbert

abstract: Kapitänleutnant Franz Stabbert was a Kapitänleutnant of the German Kaiserliche Marine. He is most known for being the commander of the doomed LZ 59 during the First World War.

text:
# Franz Stabbert

Kapitänleutnant **Franz Stabbert** (born 13 February 1881 in Kulm – died 20 October 1917 in Lorraine) was a Kapitänleutnant of the German Kaiserliche Marine. He is most known for being the commander of the doomed *LZ 59* during the First World War.

## Commands

Stabbert joined the German Kaiserliche Marine in 1915 and was stationed in Tønder. He received his first command of a zeppelin that same year on board LZ 32, which he commanded from 5 September 1915 to 16 November 1915 and on which he completed 20 flights. His next command was on LZ 59, which he commanded from 29 December 1915 until the ship's demise on 3 May 1916, on which he completed 16 flights, including 2 raids on England and 10 reconnaissance missions. After the crash of his ship in Norway, killing 3 crew, *Stabbert* was arrested but fled after 6 months of internment and returned to the airship base in Tønder on 20 December 1916. After his ordeal, he was given the command of LZ 66, which he commanded from 20 December 1916 to 23 January 1917 and on which he completed 2 flights. His last command was of LZ 93, which he commanded from 5 April 1917 until the ship's demise on 20 October 1917 and on which he completed 22 flights.

## Death

Stabbert was in command of LZ 93 when he took off from Tønder on the night of 19 October 1917 to participate in a so-called silent raid over England with 10 other airships. After completing its mission the LZ 93 set course for Tønder to head home on the morning of 20 October 1917. The ship, however, came in trouble over France near Chenevières as it was passing a storm. The ship climbed to a height of 6 km in an attempt to outflee the storm, but suddenly the ship was hit by antiaircraft fire from the French army-artillery 174th section of Chenevières and Saint-Clément southeast of Lunéville in the department of Meurthe-et-Moselle and the region Lorraine (southeast of Nancy).

After being hit, the ship caught fire and ultimately the hydrogen-filled gas cells exploded before the ship plunged nearly completely vertically to the untouched French soil below. The LZ 93 was photographed during its fall to Earth and the pictures were published in the weekly Le Miroir on 4 November 1917. All crew on board the airship perished in the disaster, and the body of commander Stabbert can be seen next to his ship on the picture taken from the wreck. It is believed that the crew died when they were crushed by the zeppelin when it smashed into the ground, suggesting that the crew was fully aware of their 6 km long descent. The crew were all buried in the city of Gerbéviller. Four other zeppelins who had accompanied LZ 93 on its raid were also shot down above France.

title: Thought Industry

abstract: Thought Industry, formerly known as Desacrator, was an American progressive metal band. It was founded in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1989 by vocalist/bassist Brent Oberlin, drummer Dustin Donaldson, guitarist Christopher Lee Simmonds, and guitarist Steve Spaeth who replaced original Desacrator guitarist, Dan Roe. Spaeth left the band due to internal conflicts with Simmonds and started the band Clockmaker. The position was filled by guitarist Paul Enzio in time for 1992's Songs for Insects, their Metal Blade Records debut. This was followed up by Mods Carve the Pig: Assassins, Toads and God's Flesh. 1996's Outer Space Is Just a Martini Away subsequently saw a significant change in the band's sound and lineup when Donaldson was replaced by Jared Bryant. Oberlin switched to guitar and bassist Herb Ledbetter was added. Thought Industry continued to strip down their lineup and sound with 1997's moody Black Umbrella, which saw the departure of Lee. Bryant, Enzio and Ledbetter also left the band in 1999, which prompted Oberlin to assemble an entirely new lineup for 2001's magnum opus Short Wave on a Cold Day. Engineer Mike Roche, who recorded Thought Industry's Black Umbrella and Fred Thompson Trio's Scary Halloween Sound Effects and filled in on bass from time to time, was added as a full-time guitarist along with drummer Cameron Taylor, bassist Mark Baldwin and guitarist Jeff Borkowski.

## Other projects

Christopher Lee Simmonds continued to perform as a singer/songwriter in the Chicago area through 1996. Simultaneously recording with Filter on 1997's *Title of Record* and recording and producing the debut album by local band MiLkBabY for his label Moonquake Mobile. Simmonds also recorded two solo albums, toured the mid-west and east coast through late 2007 and re-located to Baltimore, Maryland, that September. There Simmonds established himself as a studio engineer and producer of many projects. Most notable would be Good Charlotte, Jimmie's Chicken Shack, Marcy Playground, Underfoot, Filter, Gods & Aliens, Bullhead and many in the local scene. Simonds continued with his progressive metal nature and created what most consider to be the continuation of Thought Industry, Bullhead. Bullhead is a culmination of the most extreme of Simmonds' work.

Simmonds went on to perform with The Static Dynamic, based out of Boston, Massachusetts. The band released a ten-song, self-titled CD distributed by Tunecore through iTunes and Rhapsody. Simmonds continues to perform as a solo singer/songwriter in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Chicago, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia on a regular basis. As a singer for Cosmonaut, Oberlin released *Pipebomb Full of Nails* in 2004. Cosmonaut's debut release was released on Swollen Lip Records.

On July 18 and 19 2014, a Thought Industry reunion with a line-up of Brent Oberlin, Paul Enzio, Herb Ledbetter, Mike Roche and Jared Bryant took place at Shakespeare's Pub and at Louie's Trophy House Grill respectively, in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

title: Thomas Urban

abstract: Thomas Urban is a German journalist and author of historical books.

text:
# Thomas Urban

**Thomas Urban** (born 20 July 1954) is a German journalist and author of historical books.

## Education

Urban was born in Leipzig. His parents were German expellees from Breslau, the capital of the Prussian province of Silesia, which came under Polish sovereignty in 1945. They first settled in the Soviet occupation zone from which the GDR emerged. When Urban was 15 months old, the family fled from the GDR to the Federal Republic of Germany.

Urban spent his school days in the industrial district of Bergheim, near Cologne, in the brown coal mining area on the left bank of the Rhine. After high school graduation (*Abitur*) he finished his military service in the Bundeswehr as an officer of the military reserve force.

He studied Romance and Slavic Studies, as well as the history of Eastern Europe at the University of Cologne. He received scholarships from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) for semester studies at the University of Tours, the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv and the Pushkin Institute in Moscow. His master's degree was devoted to writers of the Russian emigration in Paris in the 1920s.

In Cologne he became a collaborator of the dissident Lev Kopelev, who had been expatriated from the Soviet Union. In 1981/82 he received a DAAD scholarship for postgraduate studies at Lomonosov University in Moscow. As he had transported letters and medicines for dissidents, he was arrested by the KGB and deported. After returning from Moscow, he worked as a Russian teacher at the language school of the Bundeswehr.

## Journalism

In 1983 Urban left the civil service to attend the School of Journalism in Hamburg (Henri-Nannen-Schule), then worked for the news agencies *Associated Press* and *Deutsche Presse-Agentur*.

In 1987 he joined the editorial staff of the *Süddeutsche Zeitung* in Munich. From 1988 to 2012 he was the correspondent of this newspaper for Eastern Europe. Until 1992 he reported from Warsaw, where he followed the fall of the Polish United Workers' Party and the transition of the Polish economy. During this time he also worked for the American radio station RIAS, which broadcast a programme in German from West Berlin.

From 1992 to 1997, he was head of the Moscow office; he analysed the major changes under Boris Yeltsin and also wrote reports on the theatres of war in Abkhazia and Chechnya. From 1997 to 2012 he reported from Kiev, where he witnessed the Orange Revolution, and again from Warsaw, where he accompanied the rise of the Kaczyński twins.

From 2012 to 2020 Urban was the correspondent of the *Süddeutsche Zeitung* in Madrid. He also reported on new opera productions of the Teatro Real for the German magazine *Opernwelt*.

Since 2022 he is analyzing developments in the former Eastern Bloc for *Cicero* magazine.

## Books and essays

Urban is the author of popular scientific works and academic essays on the history of Eastern Europe. He paid special attention to German-Polish relations. He wrote a book on the German minority in Upper Silesia and another on mutual forced expulsions for which he won the Georg Dehio Book Prize. In a book series edited by former chancellor Helmut Schmidt and former president Richard von Weizsäcker on the relations of the Germans with their neighbours, he took over the volume on Poland.

His book on the murder of thousands of Polish officers by Stalin's secret police NKVD in the forest of Katyn was translated into English in an extended version. Another book on the great powers' propaganda war following the discovery of the mass graves in Katyn was published only in Polish. He is co-author of a biography of the Polish Pope John Paul II.

His second topic was Russian emigration. He dedicated a book to the Berlin years of the Russian-American writer Vladimir Nabokov and another to Russian writers who had emigrated to Berlin in the 1920s. He published essays on Boris Pasternak, Ilya Ehrenburg, Gaito Gazdanov and M. Ageyev.

His special interest was the political history of football in Eastern Europe. He published a book on the instrumentalisation of football players of the German and Polish national teams by their governments' propaganda. His analysis of the football ban in occupied Poland during World War II was also translated into English. During the Euro 2012 a trilingual exhibition (Polish, English, German) co-designed by Urban on the basis of the book was shown in the open air in the centre of Warsaw. In a video documentary he commented on the life of the German-Polish goal scorer Ernest Wilimowski.

On the occasion of Euro 2012, whose final was held in Kiev, he analysed Russian and Ukrainian publications on the alleged Death Match of 1942. He concluded that the previously propagated version (execution of Soviet footballers who had won against a Wehrmacht team in occupied Kiev) was a legend of Soviet propaganda. He also published texts on the fate of the famous football brothers Starostin in the Soviet Union in the Stalin era.

He is the author of a historical essay on the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. In a book published in 2022, he criticised Germany's Ostpolitik, which had made the politicians of the Federal Republic "blind to the black sides" of first the Soviet Union, then Vladimir Putin's Russia. In this way, Germany had made itself dependent on Russian energy sources.

## Early life

Fred S. Alward was born in New South Wales, Australia on 21 November 1889 to John Alward and Alice Maud Mary Lumley. He emigrated to the US in 1908 and became a citizen, going on to serve in the United States Armed Forces during World War I. Upon his return from the war, Alward practiced law and moved to Las Vegas, Nevada in 1926. In the 1930s, he had a male lover named Richard Ham.

## Political career

# Michael O'Brien (game designer)

**Michael O'Brien** is a game designer who has worked primarily on role-playing games.

## Career

Michael O'Brien, along with David Hall, Nick Brooke, Rick Meints and others were part of the staff on the leading Glorantha fanzine *Tales of the Reaching Moon* (1989-2002).

When new *RuneQuest* line editor Ken Rolston began the so-called "*RuneQuest* Renaissance" for Avalon Hill, his first publication was *Sun County* (1992) by O'Brien. O'Brien contributed to *later RuneQuest* releases in the product line during Rolston's tenure at Avalon Hill.

O'Brien published two issues the Glorantha Con Down Under fundraiser fanzine *Questlines* (1995-1998). These were published in 1995 and 1998 as fund-raisers for gaming conventions held in Melbourne, Australia. O'Brien also created *Gorp* #1 (Summer, 2000) a mock fanzine that was allegedly a rare collectible item published in 1982. This magazine was produced for a British gaming convention in 2000, and because it nevertheless featured original material by Ken Rolston, Greg Stafford, David Hall and O'Brien, *Gorp* is considered valuable and collectable in its own right.

In 2015 O'Brien became a co-owner of Moon Design Publications, along with Rick Meints, Jeff Richard and Neil Robinson. Later that year as part of an announcement by Greg Stafford that Moon Design Publications had joined the ownership group of his iconic game company Chaosium, O'Brien became vice president of Chaosium.

title: Pete Wilson (broadcaster)

abstract: Peter James Wilson was an American broadcaster born in Wisconsin. For more than 20 years prior to his death, he worked in the San Francisco Bay Area. He was not related to the former California governor of the same name.

text:
# Pete Wilson (broadcaster)

**Peter James Wilson** (April 5, 1945 – July 20, 2007) was an American broadcaster born in Wisconsin. For more than 20 years prior to his death, he worked in the San Francisco Bay Area. He was not related to the former California governor of the same name.

## Personal life

Wilson was a graduate of the University of Wisconsin–Madison and a Vietnam era veteran.

## Broadcasting career

Wilson's first broadcasting stint was at WTMJ in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, followed by stint as news anchor at KTXL in Sacramento, California in 1979 and later at his first stint at ABC-owned KGO-TV in 1983 before moving to then-NBC affiliate KRON-TV in 1990. In October 2001, he became one of the first high-profile employees to leave KRON after it was announced that the station would be losing its affiliation with the NBC television network. Subsequent to this, he returned to KGO-TV.

Wilson hosted a talk radio show on the number-one rated 50,000-watt KGO (AM) weekdays 2–4 p.m. up until his death in 2007. He was the winner of five Emmy Awards and a Peabody. Wilson also co-anchored the 6 p.m weekday editions of KGO-TV's *ABC 7 News*.

## Political stances

In the San Francisco Bay Area, Wilson was considered a moderate Democrat to moderate conservative, while others have referred to him as a common-sense liberal. He was not known to immediately endorse the fad or "politically correct" thinking of the day. Contemporaries considered him a journalist and a "traditional" newsman.

In his role as an inflammatory talk radio show host, Wilson raised controversy with comments he made on KGO radio on October 10, 2006, criticizing San Francisco Supervisor Bevan Dufty, who is gay, for his nonromantic co-parenting relationship with a lesbian friend, sparking calls for Wilson's resignation from four members of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. Wilson later issued an apology for the harshness of his criticism, while standing by his opinion on such nontraditional relationships.

## Death

Pete Wilson died at age 62 after suffering a "massive heart attack during the operation, was put on life support, and last night (2007/07/20) was taken off" while having hip replacement surgery at Stanford University Medical Center.

During the last hour of his final radio broadcast, the day before his surgery, Wilson talked about his worries concerning the surgery with fellow KGO talk show host Gene Burns and invited callers to recount their own surgical experiences. It was reported later that Wilson had severe anxiety about the surgery and was hospitalized briefly at Stanford University Medical Center to recover from it. On September 17, 2007, longtime ABC reporter/anchor Gil Gross was named to replace Wilson in his radio post.

## Legacy

After his passing, Wilson's friends and colleagues at ABC7/KGO-TV-DT established a scholarship in his name. The annual scholarship is administered by the Radio Television Digital News Association. The scholarship is granted to either an undergraduate or graduate journalism student from the Bay area.

## Personal

Wilson lived in Mill Valley, California, with his wife Sandra and son Brendan.

Wilson publicly acknowledged his frequent use of Wikipedia.

# United Carolina Bank

**United Carolina Bank (UCB)** was a bank headquartered in Whiteville, North Carolina. It was formed in 1980 by the merger of four banks, including Waccamaw Bank of Whiteville. BB&T (now Truist Financial) acquired UCB in 1997.

## History

In 1926, business people in Whiteville raised $10,000 and started Waccamaw Bank and Trust, named for an area Lake Waccamaw and the Waccamaw River.

American Bank & Trust of Monroe, North Carolina began May 5, 1930 in the Monroe Hotel after the bank failure of Bank of Union during the Great Depression. In 1970, it merged with Waccamaw Bank and Trust to form United Carolina Bancshares, though it kept the American name until 1979. UCB also took over Cape Fear Bank of Fayetteville, North Carolina and Capital National Bank of Raleigh, North Carolina.

In 1981, UCB opened an 83,000-square-foot (7,700 m2) operations center near Monroe, which employed 250 people.

In 1982, UCB bought the Bank of Raeford.

When E. Rhone Sasser became chief executive in 1983, UCB had $857 million in assets.

In 1986, UCB took over Bank of Greer with $150 million in assets and eight offices in Greenville and Spartanburg Counties, for $284 million. The Bank of Greer offices began operating as United Carolina Bank of South Carolina.

In 1987, UCB began opening branches in Winn-Dixies in North Carolina, joining Central Carolina Bank and Trust as the second bank in the state to open grocery store branches in North Carolina. The first branch was not a success, however, and the plan was dropped.

Also in 1987, UCB announced a new four-story building to house 200 workers next to its headquarters in Whiteville, putting an end to rumors the bank would move its headquarters to Charlotte, where the Johnston Building was called the UCB Building. At the time, UCB had $1.9 billion in assets and 114 locations. 380 of its employees worked in Whiteville, a town of 5565 people.

In 1991, UCB added its second and third branches in Moore County. The bank had an Aberdeen branch already when it opened a Pinehurst location. Also, UCB was buying a Barclays Bank branch in Southern Pines.

In 1994, UCB bought its first western North Carolina bank, Bank of Iredell in Statesville, with 79.4 million in assets and five branches.

In October 1995, UCB agreed to buy Triad Bank, the last locally owned bank in Greensboro in a deal valued at $40 million. When the deal was completed, UCB would have branches in the Piedmont Triad for the first time. Triad Bank had eleven branches, eight of those in Greensboro, and assets of $199 million, and had taken over Bankers Trust of North Carolina in 1993; Bankers Trust had in turn taken over Piedmont State Bank.

UCB's fourth acquisition of the 1990s was Seaboard Savings Bank of Plymouth, North Carolina. UCB was North Carolina's eighth-largest bank with assets of $3.7 billion. However, other banks in the state were doing a better job of growing through mergers.

In 1997, Southern National Corp. of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, which operated as BB&T, acquired UCB in a $985 million deal. Starting September 22, 1997, 91 UCB branches began the process of changing to BB&T, and 67 other branches of the two banks closed starting in October because they were close to other BB&T locations. South Piedmont Community College bought the Monroe operations center in 2000 to serve as its Monroe Continuing Education Center, later expanding the campus at the site.

title: Gnorimoschema ericameriae

abstract: Gnorimoschema ericameriae is a moth in the family Gelechiidae. It was described by Keifer in 1933. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from California. The wingspan is 11–15 mm. There are greyish-white or whitish scales on the forewings. The forewings are crossed by a blackish shade just before the tip and the dorsal area is lighter. There is sparse pinkish irroration throughout the wing on lighter areas and a dark shade of dark grey and brown crossing the wing near base. Touching this and at the costal one-fifth, a diagonal light fascia runs to the fold and fuses with the dorsal area at a conspicuous pink spot at one-third. This fascia is bordered outwardly by a dark grey shade which runs to the center of the wing and is from there roughly continued as a jagged dark central line to within the apex. Above this central line a curved light streak runs down from the costa at one-third and returns at the costal cilia, enclosing a dark grey area, the center of which is just beyond one-half. Within the apical margin, a grey streak fuses with the central line. The plical stigma is an obscure black spot with some brown scales at about one-third and the first and second discals are black spots in a curved light streak surrounded by brown scales at just beyond one-third and one-half. There are some black dots around the apex. The hindwings are grey with slight pinkish reflections. The larvae feed on Ericameria ericoides, living in a small rather round, apically pointed, terminal gall. The larvae have a sordid creamy-white body with pinkish fuscous above and with a dull brownish head.

# Mohamed Bechri

**Mohamed Bechri** is a professor of economics at the University of Sousse, Tunisia. He holds a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Southern California.

## Human rights activism

He is a human rights activist and former chair of the Tunisian section of Amnesty International. Human Rights Watch cites him in its report on the repression of human rights in Tunisia.

## Statements

He is quoted as blaming the Arab silence of Darfur genocide as part of the "twin fascisms" that dominate the Middle East: Islamism and Pan-Arabism. The former pertains to the rejection of the legitimacy of any non-Muslim group within what is perceived as the Arab's proper domain whereas the latter holds the same view - this time - towards any non-Arab group. According to Bechri, these developments gave rise to a condition where all minorities living within the Arab world are under siege, particularly underscoring the impact of Islamism as "the mother of all big lies'. He also lodged strong criticism of the West, noting that the level of freedom found in its societies gave Islamist terror masters ample opportunity to mount an effective propaganda machine. considering all these factors, Bechri stressed that only Arab/Muslim secular forces can effectively undermine Islamism.

## Persecution

Bechri often experienced persecution due to his human rights initiatives in Tunisia. In 2000, for example, he was part of a group, which were assaulted and threatened by police officers in Tunis. Bechri was a coordinator of the National Committee to Defend Moncef Marzouki, who was dismissed from his post due to his human rights activities. Together with fellow activists and a gaggle of journalists including Omar Mestiri, editor of the opposition online newspaper *Kalima,* they proceeded to the ministry of public health to deliver a petition requesting for Marzouki's reinstatement. They were, however, blocked by the police when they reached the building's entrance. When Mestiri resisted, he was beaten by the police before being apprehended and released fifty kilometers away from the location. Reporters Without Borders and Mohammed Bechri, both human rights activists, confirmed this incident.

Glengyle Stationclass=notpageimage|Location in Queensland

**Glengyle Station** is a pastoral lease that operates as a cattle station in central west Queensland.

## Description

Glengyle is located 125 kilometres (78 mi) north Birdsville and 209 kilometres (130 mi) south of Boulia in the Channel Country of Queensland.

As of 2012 the property occupied an area of 5,540 square kilometres (2,139 sq mi) and had a carrying capacity of 8,500 head of cattle. It is the site of the monument, *Sidney Kidman's Tree of Knowledge*, the coolibah tree which Kidman camped under when contemplating the development of his pastoral empire. Glengyle and other leases in the channel country, he realised, would be important acquisitions to link his properties in the Northern Territory to markets further south while still providing feed and water.

The Georgina River and other tributaries such as Eyre Creek run through the middle of the property and mostly carries water down from the north during the wet season. Water can take as long as three months to travel 35 kilometres (22 mi) across a paddock, called *Bunkhole*, as it must fill two lakes. The lakes, named *Koolya* and *Miria*, are each circular and about 50 square kilometres (19 sq mi) in area. Further downstream lies Lake Machattie which also usually fills then the floodwaters spread out across the maze of lignum lines black soil channels. About one third of the property is flood plain which with adequate water is well vegetated by Cooper clover in winter and native sorghum in summer, another third is sandhill country with the remaining third made up of gibber plain that supports Mitchell grass following summer rains.

## History

The station was established in 1876 by Duncan Macgregor one of the first in the region along with Annandale, Kaliduwarry, and Sandringham Stations. Macgregor held on to the property for the next 20 years and also acquired nearby Cacory Station.

William Buchanan acquired the 1,000 square miles (2,590 km2) station in 1907. He intended to stock up from his Wave Hill Station in the Northern Territory, 4,000 head of cattle were immediately dispatched with Glengyle to be in good condition with plenty of feed and water.

The property was sold the trustees of the Buchanan Estate in 1912 to Sidney Kidman.

Between 1914 and 1916 the area was struck by drought, about 10,000 cattle died on the station during this time. Kidman lost over 75,000 head of stock on all of his properties through the channel country including Diamantina Lakes, Durham Downs, Innamincka and Sandringham Stations. Suffering financially, Kidman sold the property in 1918.

The manager of the station, Albert Edwards, estimated the area of the holding in 1921 was 1,000 square miles (2,590 km2) with a total area of 7,000 square miles (18,130 km2) including outstations. The property was carrying 25,000 head of cattle and 1,000 horses.

In 1929 a bore was sunk at Glengyle to a depth of 2,380 feet (725 m) before striking a good flow of artesian water The flow rate was measured at 750,000 imperial gallons (3 ML) per day and cost Kidman A£6,000.

Airmail delivery to remote properties in outback South Australia, New South Wales and Queensland commenced in 1949. Glengyle along with other remote properties including Mungerannie, Clifton Hills, Mulka, Davenport Downs, Morney Plains, Mount Leonard, Durrie, Cordillo Downs, Tanbar, Durham Downs, Nappa Merrie, Lake Pure and Naryilco were also on the route.

The Georgina River flooded in 1950 and again in 1953 following heavy rain events further north. The 1953 flood was 6 inches (152 mm) higher at Glengyle compared to the 1950 event. The Diamantina River was also in flood and the waters were expected to make it to Lake Eyre.

Glengyle is the end of the world's longest mail run that is about a 2,000 kilometres (1,243 mi) round trip. The run starts at Port Augusta and finishes at Glengyle an includes other properties such as Anna Creek and Durrie Stations.

The station, and much of the channel country, resembled an inland sea in March 2011 when flood waters flowed down from the north following Cyclone Yasi. The floodwater were over 20 kilometres (12 mi) wide down the creek channels and were over 1.5 feet (0.5 m) higher than the floods recorded in 2009, the highest seen before, that filled Lake Eyre.

In 2013, the station was struck by drought again, requiring water to be piped 50 kilometres (31 mi), at a cost of A$100,000, from a bore to the homestead once the water in the dams had run dry.

The property was owned by S. Kidman & Co from some time before 2012 until April 2023. In 2016 S. Kidman & Co was bought by Gina Rinehart's Hancock Prospecting. In April 2023, Durrie was sold to the Appleton Cattle Company, a family-owned beef cattle enterprise which has organic certification, along with Naryilco and Durrie stations.
