title: Union of Independents of Dahomey

text:
The Union of Independents of Dahomey (, UNIDAHO)  was a political party in French Dahomey led by Paul Darboux.

History
The party was established by Darboux in 1956 in the Djougou region in order to compete against Hubert Maga and the Dahomeyan Democratic Movement (MDD). It was originally known as Defense of Economic Interests (Défense des Intérèts Économiques, DIE). It contested the 1956 elections to the French National Assembly, but received only 1.7% of the vote.

Darboux won the Djougou seat in the March 1957 Territorial Assembly elections. By this time the party had been renamed the Independents of the North (Indépendants du Nord). In August 1957 the party merged with the MDD to form the Dahomeyan Democratic Rally (RDD). However, Darboux left the RDD in April 1958 to re-establish his own party, now under the UNIDAHO name.

title: 2014 Pathum Thani building collapse

text:
On 11 August 2014, a six-story building under construction in the U Place Condotel condominium project, collapsed in Pathum Thani province, Thailand. The collapse resulted in 14 deaths and 25 injuries to the construction workers working on the building.

Background

The collapse building was part of a six building project, including two finished buildings with residents. The building project is owned by Plook Plang Co. Ltd.

Aftermath

Casualties included Cambodian nationals who were construction workers. The rescue operation was concluded on 14 August 2014, after all victims were found.

Cause

A flaw in the construction design was cited as the cause for collapse. Columns at the perimeter of the building were not strong enough to support the weight of cement being poured on the roof, leading to a structural failure.

title: Pallion Group

text:
Pallion designs, manufactures, and distributes precious metal products and related services. It is the largest precious metal services group in Australasia. Pallion is the result of the merger in 2014 of the ABC Bullion and Palloys Group of companies founded in 1972 and 1951 respectively. The group maintains its headquarters in Sydney NSW Australia and is a wholly privately owned group of companies with manufacturing facilities and offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth in Australia, Hong Kong (SAR), mainland China, Thailand and Western Europe.

Pallion broadly comprises six entities: ABC Bullion, ABC Refinery, Palloys, Goldenage International, Custodian Vaults, and WJ Sanders. These provide the following services: bullion & bullion trading; refining & minting; casting & custom jewellery; fabricated metals; wedding rings & electroplating; findings; goldsmithing & silversmithing and vaulting.

Timeline

Beginnings
Palloys commenced operations as Palloys Refining Co in 1951, in Woollahra Sydney New South Wales Australia.  The business was the brainchild of Felix Parry (Felix Pisarewski) a Polish war hero who arrived in Australia as a refugee after the second world war.  At its inception, Palloys Refining Co's business was solely related to the refining of precious metals sourced from the jewellery and dental industries.

In 1952, Palloys Refining Co entered into an agreement with Matthey Garrett. Pursuant to that agreement, Palloys Refining Co changed the focus of its business to the casting of jewellery and dental components utilising the lost wax method. It also changed its name to Palloys. In return, Matthey Garrett agreed to provide bulk precious metal refining services to Palloys. By 1955, Palloys was servicing burgeoning post war jewellery demand across Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong. To cater to this increased global demand, Palloys Hong Kong commenced operations in 1962 in joint venture with Wheelock Marden Limited, now part of Wheelock & Co Limited. Palloys Hong Kong was the first company engaged in the casting of precious metals in Hong Kong.

External Investment and Diversification
In 1965, a 25% interest in Palloys was acquired by Wieland Edeinmetalle GMBH (now part of the Saxonia Franke Group). To this day, Palloys is the Australian distributor of Wieland Plating Products. In 1986 interests associated with the Kay family acquired the remaining 75% interest in Palloys.

In 1972, Australian Bullion Company (NSW) Pty Limited commenced operation as a distributor of bullion products throughout Australia. It now trades under the name ABC Bullion, the largest independent bullion dealer in Australia and a cornerstone of the Australian gold trading system.

In 1990, Palloys diversified from the jewellery casting market into the manufacture and supply of fabricated alloyed precious metal in various forms: wire; sheet; solders; milled wedding rings; and precious metal refining services.  It did so through a joint venture agreement with Bullion Mark Pty Limited, a company associated with Mr P.J. Williams and Harringtons Limited, a listed Australian public company and now part of the Perth Mint. The new joint venture entity was called Alloy & Gold Supply (NSW) Pty Ltd. Through various mergers and acquisitions, the non-Palloys 50% interest was acquired by AGR Matthey (itself a joint venture between the Western Australian State Government Perth Mint, Australian Gold Alliance (a wholly owned subsidiary of Newmont Mining Corporation) and Johnson Matthey Plc).

Growth
In late 2007, new interests acquired Palloys and its interest in Alloy & Gold Supply (NSW) Pty Ltd.  In 2008, Palloys acquired the AGR Matthey interest in Alloy & Gold Supply (NSW) Pty Ltd and also the AGR Matthey jewellery division. Alloy & Gold Supply (NSW) Pty Ltd was renamed AGS Metals Pty Limited and the Palloys Group was born.

In 2008, Palloys Group launched what was to become the largest CAD/CAM jewellery rapid prototyping and manufacturing division in Australia. Further diversification occurred with the incorporation of the Australian jewellery findings arm of the group, Regentco in 2009. In 2011, Palloys Group expanded its fabricated metals manufacturing base with the acquisition of P.J Williams Pty Limited by AGS Metals Pty Limited which was renamed AGS|PJW.

Commencing in 2009 and completing in 2014, Palloys Group acquired Goldenage International Limited (GAI). With offices and manufacturing facilities in Hong Kong SAR and mainland China, GAI is a world leader in volume findings production. In 2013 GAI expanded its product offering to include premium custom jewellery production for some of the world's best known jewellery brands.

As of 2012, the group's international headquarters moved to Sydney.  Also in 2012, Palloys Group and ABC Bullion formed a joint venture to acquire ABC Refinery which is now the largest private refiner and assayer of precious metals in Australia.  In 2014, ABC Refinery was awarded NATA accreditation, compliant with ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) Standard 17025:2005 for the analysis of gold, silver and their alloys. In addition, ABC Refinery has been accredited as compliant with AS (Australian Standards) and ILAC (International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation).  In 2013, Palloys Group and ABC Bullion commenced trading of ABC Bullion in Hong Kong (SAR) to cater to increasing demand from Asia for bullion and related products.  Also in that year, the entities opened Custodian Vaults in Australia – a private secure vaulting operation.

In 2014, ABC Refinery commenced construction of a new minting facility in Australia catering to public and private institutional demand.  In 2014, the jewellery division of Pallion was named Australian Best Jewellery Supplier in the inaugural Australian Jewellery Industry Awards.

Merger and Accreditation
In late 2014, the ABC Bullion and Palloys Group of companies financially merged under a new holding company called Pallion, a top 3 Australian private company by revenue.  It is owned by interests associated with the Cochineas, Gregg and Simpson families. Today, Pallion has manufacturing facilities and offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth in Australia, Hong Kong (SAR), mainland China, Thailand and Italy.

In February 2015, Palloys was named Australian Best Jewellery Manufacturer at the Australian Jewellery Industry Awards. In April 2015, a long-standing association with A&E Metals was formalised in the acquisition by Pallion of A&E Metals.  In November 2015, ABC Bullion was awarded the manufacturing rights to the Melbourne Cup by the Victoria Racing Club. ABC Bullion is the third manufacturer of the Melbourne Cup in its entire history. Melbourne Cups produced by ABC Bullion are the first Melbourne Cups  made from metal that has been mined, fabricated and assembled wholly within Australia. In February 2018 it was announced by the Victorian Racing Club that Lexus was to be the new major sponsor for the Melbourne Cup.  In December 2015, ABC Refinery was appointed to The London Bullion Market Association Good Delivery list for gold.

Further Globalisation
In April 2018, ABC Refinery was officially accredited by the Shanghai Gold Exchange. The accreditation makes it one of only seven international companies approved to sell gold directly to China.  In August 2018, Pallion acquired WJ Sanders, Australia's last traditional manufacturing silversmith.  In late 2018, ABC Refinery became the first major precious metals refinery in the world to install an Acidless Refining System (ALS) that uses no harmful acids and produces no environmentally harmful emissions.  To date, ABC Refinery operates the world's largest ALS refining capacity.

In May 2019, Palloys became Australia's first jewellery manufacturer and wholesaler to be certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC).  To date, it is the only Australian wholesaler and manufacturer to be so accredited.

In June 2020, ABC Refinery was accredited by the CME Group. The accreditation saw ABC Refinery bars added to the COMEX good delivery list of brands used to physically settle against the GC gold futures contract in New York.  In July 2020, AE Metals, AGS| PJW, Regentco and Palloys amalgamated under the Palloys brand name. The Palloys brand now services the global jewellery business to business market under a single trading name.

In November 2021, ABC Refinery was appointed to The London Bullion Market Association Good Delivery list for silver as well as the COMEX good delivery list of brands used to physically settle against the SI silver futures contract in New York. These appointments make ABC Refinery the only independent gold and silver refinery in Australia accredited by the London Bullion Market Association and COMEX.

In May 2023, ABC Bullion opened its global retail flagship in Martin Place Sydney.

title: Nikko Jenkins

text:
Nikko Allen Jenkins (sometimes spelled Nicholas on first name; born September 16, 1986) is an American spree killer convicted of committing four murders in Omaha, Nebraska, in August 2013. The murders occurred within a month after he had been released from prison after serving 10-and-a-half years of the 18 years to which he had been sentenced for a carjacking committed at age 15 and for assaults committed in prison. Jenkins stated that he had committed the killings at the command of the ancient serpent god Apophis. He was found competent to stand trial, found guilty of the four murders, and was sentenced to death in May 2017.

Early years
Jenkins was born in Colorado to parents David A. Magee and Lori Jenkins.

Murders
At about 5:01 a.m. on August 11, 2013, a patrol officer discovered two bodies in a white Ford pickup truck parked near a city swimming pool at 18th and F St, in Spring Lake Park. The two victims, identified as Juan Uribe-Pena and Jorge C. Cajiga-Ruiz, had been shot in the head, and their pockets turned inside out. They were lured to meet two women for a sexual encounter. The murder spree began with this random double-murder less than two weeks after his release from prison on July 30.

On August 19, around 7 a.m., the body of Curtis Bradford was found outside a detached garage at 18th and Clark St. by a man returning home from a night shift at a convenience store. Investigators arrived to find two bullet wounds in Bradford's back. It was later revealed that Bradford and Jenkins had posed for a Facebook photo posted the day before. Bradford would be the only victim familiar to Jenkins.

Jenkins' fourth and final victim, Andrea Kruger, was discovered on August 21, at about 2:15 a.m., by a deputy sheriff responding to a shots-fired call. Her body was found lying in the road at 168th and Fort St., with multiple 12-gauge shotgun wounds to the face, neck, and shoulder. Kruger had been returning home after a bartending shift near 178th, and Pacific St. Surveillance footage showed her locking up the Deja Vu Lounge at 1:47 a.m. At 6:30 that evening, Kruger's gold 2012 Chevrolet Traverse SUV was found abandoned  away in an alley at 43rd and Charles St. Later that week, a news conference was held by Douglas County Sheriff Tim Dunning, in which he stated that investigators believed the SUV had been abandoned roughly 2.5 hours after being stolen, and that a "feeble attempt" had been made at setting the vehicle's interior ablaze.

Victims

Arrest
On August 30, 2013, Jenkins was arrested on an unrelated terroristic threats charge. By then, the evidence against him had mounted—investigators had the image of a female associate on surveillance footage at a local gun outlet buying the kind of distinctive ammunition (Brenneke Classic Magnum 12-gauge, commonly known as "deer slugs") that had been used to commit the killings. Additional footage had been pulled from cameras along the route to Kruger's abandoned SUV. On the evening of September 3, Jenkins confessed to all four murders during a rambling 8-hour interview. Jenkins told police that the acts were sacrifices to Apophis, a deity in the ancient Egyptian religion. He was charged with four counts of murder following the confession.

Trial

In handwritten letters dated November 3, 2013, submitted to the Omaha World-Herald, prosecutors, and a judge, Jenkins said he wished to plead guilty to all counts in the four slayings and that he would protect Apophis' kingdom with "animalistic savage brutality."

On February 19, 2014, Jenkins filed a federal lawsuit seeking $24.5 million from the State of Nebraska for wrongfully releasing him from prison. He stated that his claims of hearing voices from Apophis were repeatedly ignored. In the six-page handwritten filing, he stated that being kept in solitary confinement augmented his schizophrenia. He blamed corrections officials for the four killings. Jenkins claimed that his problems were caused by mental illness, and that he had schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. The judge ordered a psychiatric evaluation, and a psychiatrist concluded that Jenkins had antisocial personality disorder and was faking psychotic symptoms.

After being declared competent to stand trial (Jenkins scored 68 on an administered IQ test), the proceedings against Jenkins commenced. On his request, Jenkins was allowed to represent himself at trial under the guidance of advisory attorneys. Throughout the trial, Jenkins maintained that he acts under the command of Apophis. His courtroom antics included speaking in tongues, howling, and laughing as prosecutors recounted the details of his victims' deaths. On April 16, 2014, Judge Peter Bataillon found Nikko Jenkins guilty of all four murders.

Jenkins was initially scheduled to be sentenced on August 11, 2014. The date was delayed indefinitely following a hearing held to determine whether he was capable of understanding the death penalty proceedings against him. On July 29, Judge Bataillon ordered Jenkins to be housed at the Lincoln Regional Center psychiatric hospital until doctors were satisfied with his condition. Officials at the Regional Center refused to house Jenkins due to inadequate security, but doctors agreed to treat him at a Lincoln prison.

In May 2017, Jenkins was sentenced to death by a three-judge panel. He was also sentenced to 450 years on weapons charges connected with the murders.

On April 20, 2020, the US Supreme Court refused to hear his appeal.

title: Laurence Owen (composer)

text:
Laurence Owen is a British composer, musician, comedian and actor.

Early career
Laurence Owen's career began in the 1990s as a child actor. He had notable credits in the feature film Wilde (playing Vyvyan Wilde opposite Stephen Fry) and the BBC period drama Berkeley Square, in which he had a recurring role.

Composer
Owen attended Brighton University from which he graduated with First Class Honours in Digital Music and Sound Arts.

Since 2011 he has written music for a number of stage and film projects, including several short pieces for film festivals. In 2013, he won the Früh Kölsch Audience Award for Best Music in a Short Film for his score for the animated short White Morning. In the Autumn of the same year he provided sound design for 1927 Productions' Golem, which was first performed at the Salzburg Festival before transferring to the Young Vic, London, and the Théâtre de la Ville, Paris. For his work on Golem, he was nominated for Best Theatre Sound at the Pro Sound Awards 2015.

Owen was composer and musical director of the live music and cartoon theatre show Cat & Mouse, a 1927 and Village Underground co-production  which was also part of the 2017 Latitude Festival.

In 2019, he acted as arranger and music producer of songs by Richard Thomas (musician) for the National Theatre of Scotland production My Left / Right Foot - The Musical.

Music
From 2009 to 2012, Owen played bass for The Indelicates appearing on their albums David Koresh Superstar and Diseases of England.

His concept album South of the River was released at the beginning of 2012. Genre Fiction, an album of orchestral compositions, was released in 2018.

Since 2016, he has played bass for musical impressionists Jess Robinson and Christina Bianco.

Comedy
While a member of The Indelicates, Owen had experimented with humour, singing and accompanying himself on the guitar. He did not believe this was well received by audiences at music gigs, so he developed and took an act to comedy bills.

He has been a regular on the London cabaret circuit since late 2011, providing short turns on variety and comedy nights. In addition to solo performances, he has also contributed to a number of comedy collectives, including Adam Larter's Weirdos Comedy Club for which he has appeared in two 'alternative pantomimes' among other productions. As well as acting in these shows he has provided original music; recordings of songs from the pantomimes have been issued as digital downloads with the proceeds donated to Great Ormond Street Hospital.

He has also appeared in full-length shows as part of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. In the first, 'Owen and Bettesworth Sung and Unsung' (2012), he performed with stand-up comedian Oli Bettesworth. They made a "mini sit-com" in daily instalments to accompany this and released it via YouTube and other media.

His first solo show was Lullabies of Pervland(2014). An album of the same title was made available to complement it, featuring studio versions of most of the songs from the set.

His contribution to the 2015 Fringe, Cinemusical won him that year's Malcolm Hardee Award for 'Act Most Likely To Make A Million Quid'.

His other Edinburgh Fringe shows include Cinemusical High in 2016, and The Time Machine in 2017, which he performed with his wife and co-writer, Lindsay Sharman.

In 2014 he was a finalist at the Musical Comedy Awards.

Personal life
He is married to comedian, actress and writer Lindsay Sharman.

Pietro Marchesini (April 7, 1692 - October 24, 1757) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, active in Tuscany.

Biography

title: Little White Lies (Florrie song)

text:
"Little White Lies" is a song recorded by English pop singer Florrie. Written by Florence Arnold, Toby Scott, Brian Higgins and Wayne Hector, the song was released on 15 August 2014 as the lead single from Florrie's upcoming debut album. However, the project was shelved, and the single remained as a non-album track. An acoustic version of the song was released onto YouTube on 17 August 2014, on the singer's official account.

Background and release
"Little White Lies" was first released in a remix form created by Shadow Child on Florrie's fourth extended play Sirens, released as an anticipation extended play before Florrie's debut album, intended to be released in 2014. An album sampler of Florrie's debut album surfaced onto the internet later in 2014, including six tracks: "Too Young to Remember", "Turn the World Upside Down", "Galaxies", "Looking for Love In the Wrong Place", "Little White Lies", and "Live a Little"; however, the album was ultimately shelved and the three unreleased songs remained as leaked tracks, while "Little White Lies" and "Live a Little" remained as non-album singles, and "Too Young to Remember" was released forward in 2015. The official studio version of the song premiered on 3 July 2014, and an EP including remixes of the song, the original version, and Florrie edits for her 2010 tracks "Left Too Late" and "Give Me Your Love", was released on August 15.

Music video
A music video for the song was released on 6 July 2014 on the singer's official YouTube account. The video stars Florrie in different scenes like a grassy field and a wooden house. The singer appears performing drums in the field in different moments of the clip. Also, she appears releasing a number of plastic bags to the air, which was interpreted by fans as an analogy to little white lies: one would not produce much harm, but several could impact a lot; in the lyrics, this analogy is appreciated during the chorus.

Composition
The song is an electropop and dance-pop song, which runs at a moderate tempo of 124 beats per minute, set in a 4/4 time signature. "Little White Lies" lasts for three minutes and three seconds. The instrumentation incorporates synthesizers, pads, electric piano, and drums that increase gradually, growing louder towards the end of the song.

title: Canthigaster tyleri

text:
Canthigaster tyleri, also known as Tyler's toby, is a species of marine fish in the family Tetraodontidae.

Description
The Tyler's toby possesses a globular body while being also a bit compressed laterally. It's a small sized fish, reaching 9 cm maximum in length. Its snout is elongated with a small terminal mouth. The background coloration is whitish, the sides are covered with red spots, the back is yellow to green with a network of blue lines from the caudal fin to the tip of the snout. Blue lines are parallel on the top of the snout. A white circle not closed on its top surrounds the eye. The belly is white and fins are translucent.

Etymology
The puffer is named in honor of plectognath taxonomist James C. Tyler (b. 1935), who sent Allen and Randall the first specimen of this fish from the Comoro Islands in the Indian Ocean.

Distribution & habitat
Canthigaster tyleri has a limited distribution in the Indian Ocean, it occurs in all the islands from western Indonesia to Tanzania.
It has a preference for reef and lagoons where it can easily hide in holes and crevasses, it has a very secretive behavior. It can be found until 40 m depth.

Biology
The Tyler's toby's diet is based on different kind of algae, sponge and other small invertebrates.
As many of their congeners belonging to the family of Tetraodontidae, Canthigasters are toxic. Their body would have the capacity to generate from its food a powerful toxin, the tetrodotoxin, and to store it in the skin and certain internal organs like liver and gonads. The tetrodotoxin is a powerful neurotoxic substance which symptoms are serious and can lead, in the worst case, to the death by respiratory paralysis.

title: TNO intestinal model

text:
TNO (gastro-) Intestinal Models (“TIM”) are model systems mimicking the digestive tract. The models are dynamic computer controlled multi-compartmental systems with adjustable parameters for the physiological conditions of the stomach and intestine. Temperature, peristalsis, bile secretion, secretion of saliva, stomach and pancreas enzymes are all fully adjustable.
The TIM systems are being used to study the behavior of oral products during transit through the stomach, the small intestine and large intestine. Commonly performed studies concern the digestibility of food and food components, the bioaccessibility for absorption of pharmaceutical compounds, proteins, fat, minerals and (water- and fat-soluble) vitamins.

There are different models for the stomach and small intestine (TIM-1 and Tiny-TIM) and a model simulating the physiological conditions of the colon (TIM-2).

The TIM-1 system consists of a stomach compartment and 3 compartments for the small intestine, the duodenum, jejunum and ileum. The Tiny-TIM system consists of a stomach compartment and one single compartment for the small intestine. Samples can be harvested for analysis from these models from any compartment at any time.

TIM-2 simulates the colon, containing the microbiota as found in human colon. This model serves as a tool to study fermentation of non-digestible food components (fibers and prebiotics) and the release of drugs  specifically targeted for the colon.

title: Fort Plymouth

text:
The construction of Fort Plymouth began in summer 1856. The site was settled by a group of free-state partisans who entered Brown County from Nebraska Territory. This site was also meant to become a free-state town, but possibly only one house was constructed on the site. The fort, named after Plymouth Rock by surveyors from Massachusetts, was located on or near the top of a high hill north of Pony Creek. Fort Plymouth was  south of the Nebraska border.

A redoubt was built by free-state leader James H. Lane and about fifteen men. This redoubt was mostly underground and had dirt and adobe walls about six feet above ground. These walls had a number of port holes and rifle pits were dug inside or near the redoubt. By October the free-staters had begun constructing a house inside their fort. The construction was halted when Lieut. Col. Philip St. George Cooke arrived with dragoons and camped near Fort Plymouth. Cooke desired to prevent violence from erupting between those favoring the northern and southern causes. The dragoons and a federal deputy marshal confiscated a number of weapons from the fort. Cooke had his men destroy Fort Plymouth. The site was basically abandoned, but the remains of the fort could be seen as late as 1883.

title: Tour & Taxis

text:
Tour & Taxis (, ) is a large former industrial site in Brussels, Belgium. It is situated on the Brussels Canal in the City of Brussels, just north-west of the city centre, immediately adjacent to Laeken and Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, and about  west from the Northern Quarter business district.

The site is composed of large warehouses and offices surrounding a former freight station called the Maritime Station (, ), and its spacious central hall known as the  (, ). The main buildings on the site are made of brick, glass and wrought iron, and are prime examples of 19th-century industrial architecture.

Though the site was long disused following its loss of importance as a shipping and customs hub, it has been partially restored, and is now used for large cultural events, which have included Couleur Café Festival, the Brussels Design Market, , Art Brussels, The Color Run Belgium and Salon du Chocolat, as well as for office space.

History

Origins: Thurn und Taxis family

Over the long history of the swampy lands that originally constituted the site, certain parcels belonged to the Thurn und Taxis (or Tassis) German noble family. Philip the Fair of Burgundy promoted Frans Von Tassis to postmaster in 1504; a position Tassis also held for Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor, beginning in 1489. Francisco moved the family to Brussels by 1516, and from there they organised the first international postal service. The imperial postal service linked the wealthy Low Countries to the Spanish court, and served the Holy Roman Empire and the rest of Europe. The horse-based postal service would be based in Brussels for nearly two centuries before moving to Frankfurt, Germany, in 1704.

The fields in were used as pasture for the family's horses. The family gave their name to a small road that crossed through the area. This was rendered into French as Tour et Taxis, and would give its name to the area after its transition into a busy port.

Industrialisation

Along with much of the rest of Europe, Belgium experienced intense economic and industrial growth during the "long nineteenth century". The Willebroek Canal, which had originally been constructed in the 1550s and 1560s, took on increased importance in Belgium's global trade over the course of the 1800s, as it connects Brussels to the Scheldt River and ultimately the North Sea. In 1895, the Tour & Taxis site was selected by the Belgian State and the City of Brussels as the location for a new commercial station along the Brussels Canal. Construction of the Tour & Taxis industrial complex, spread over  of land, officially began on 22 July 1900, with King Leopold II present for the inaugural festivities.

Tour & Taxis was one of the first multi-modal freight transport platforms in the world. Frédéric Bruneel served as the main engineer for the project, while , Constant Bosmans and Henri Vandeveld worked as architects. Central to the site's functionality was the Maritime Station (, ), a freight station constructed by Bruneel beginning in 1902 and open from 1907. The expansive  steel and glass structure was designed to efficiently receive goods by land, water and rail. Major sources of cargo included sugar, coffee, alcohol, tobacco, and chocolate. Customs and excise duties were then collected on-site via the Customs House (, ), and goods were stored in bonded warehouses—the Public Depot (, ) and the Royal Depot (, )—before their redistribution. The Maritime Station was controlled by the Belgian State Railways (and, from 1926, the National Railway Company of Belgium), while the bonded warehouses were managed by the  (and later, the Port of Brussels).

The buildings have been recognised for the quality of their construction. According to La Fonderie, Brussels Museum of Industry and Labour, the Tour & Taxis site is a "catalogue of architecture and civil engineering", as well as "a testament to the skills of Belgian engineers and workers, and their mastery of steel, iron, stone, glass and concrete." Their appearance was influenced by both the Flemish Renaissance and the Art Nouveau style characteristic of early 20th-century Brussels.

Growth and decline

During the first half of the 20th century, the busy Tour & Taxis site furthered industrial and economic development in Brussels. According to La Fonderie, "construction of the complex and the port resulted in the development of the surrounding area, where life soon revolved around the packaging, storage, sale and transportation of different cargoes... Outstanding industrial buildings sprang up, followed by residential buildings and workers' housing estates. The Tour & Taxis complex was a hive of social and economic activity. In its heyday at the end of the 1960s, it employed a workforce of almost 3,000."

As Europe's economic landscape shifted over the latter half of the 20th century, so did Tour & Taxis' importance as a centre of commerce and industry. The Treaty of Rome in 1957, of which Belgium was a signing member, created the European Economic Community (EEC) and initiated Europe's move away from economic borders and towards a single market via reduced customs duties and the establishment of a customs union. At the same time, Belgium's expansion of its roads and highways in the 1960s and 1970s (see Transport in Belgium) facilitated the increased transport of goods by road versus waterways or railways. The free movement of capital and goods within the EEC (and, from 1993, the European Union), combined with the changing means by which those goods were distributed within member states, gradually made the original function of the buildings at Tour & Taxis irrelevant. The Public Depot and the Royal Depot were rented out to private companies for storage space, but building maintenance became too expensive for the railway and port companies to maintain. By the 1990s, the Port of Brussels and the National Railway Company of Belgium (NMBS/SNCB) each put their shares of the Tour & Taxis property up for sale.

Redevelopment
What Tour & Taxis would become in its next iteration remained unclear for several years. Plans to develop a 12,000-person concert hall on the premises were met with opposition by organisations like La Fonderie, The International Committee for the Conservation of the Industrial Heritage, the International Council on Monuments and Sites, World Monuments Watch and Europa Nostra.

Project T&T, a joint venture among three real estate development companies—Extensa (Ackermans & van Haaren), RB Management, and IRET development—purchased the site in 2001. Extensa bought out the other partners in 2014. Each of the historical buildings has been renovated or is in the process of being renovated as part of a mixed-use development with office space, residences, a public park, public services, shopping and restaurants, while preserving the architectural heritage of the site.

Heritage buildings

The Royal Depot was the first to be redeveloped. The original train track running through the bonded warehouse was replaced with an inner walkway lined by shops, restaurants such as Le Pain Quotidien, bars, a spa, and a childcare centre. The former storerooms on the upper floors were converted to office space and are occupied by law offices, creative and communications agencies, insurance companies, the public sector, and the like.

The former Public Depot (renamed the "Sheds"), once used to store incoming goods, was redeveloped next and is now one of the largest events venues in Brussels. The Sheds now host large events such as , the Foire du Livre book fair, the International Brussels Tattoo Convention, the Affordable Art Fair, JapanCon Brussels and BXLBeerFest, among others.

The former Hôtel de la Poste administrative building is now used for meetings and events such as the International Interior Design Exhibition Brussels. The former Hôtel des Douanes customs building is utilised as temporary office space, and is currently occupied by the Belgian branch of French public relations firm Publicis Groupe.

Extensa is currently redeveloping the Maritime Station, and announced plans to reopen the  freight station in 2020 as a year-round "covered neighbourhood" with workspaces, a food hall, gardens and events space. The renovated station will use geothermal energy along with repurposed paving stones and wood from the original building. It will use electrochromic technology for its intelligent glass window glazing, which uses electric pulses to adjust the opacity of each window, with the option of creating either a dimmed or one-way mirror effect. Standalone workspaces made from wooden modules are anticipated to accommodate 2,000 people within the station.

In 2008, Tour & Taxis was named a winner of the European Heritage Europa Nostra Awards in recognition of the conservation and redevelopment of its heritage buildings.

New developments

Two new office buildings have been developed at Tour & Taxis. When it opened in 2015, the Brussels Environment building was the largest passive office building in Belgium. The building was rated and certified as "excellent" by BREEAM in recognition of its sustainability. The , open in 2017, and currently housing the administration of the Flemish Government, is now the country's largest passive office building. Neutelings Riedijk Architects designed the building using recycled materials, geothermic heating, rainwater recycling, and solar powered electricity. The Herman Teirlinck building won an EU Mies Award in 2019.

The rail lines that once brought trains and their goods to the Maritime Station remained on the Tour & Taxis site decades after the closure of the freight station. Beginning in 2013, they were removed and replaced with a park which will total  when complete. According to former Brussels Minister of the Environment and Energy, Évelyne Huytebroek, it is the largest park to be developed in Brussels since the time of King Leopold II.

Residential apartments were added to Tour & Taxis in 2017, 31 of which were sold to the City of Brussels for use as subsidised housing. The site's current residential development project, known as Park Lane, is to be located near the Maritime Station and the park, and will feature an estimated 900 homes.

The City of Brussels began developing a pedestrian and cyclist bridge on the Brussels Canal connecting Brussels-North railway station and Tour & Taxis in autumn 2019. The bridge is to be named after , a pioneer in the Brussels LGBTIQ+ movement in the 20th century.

In 2018, Brussels announced plans to create new tram lines connecting Belgica metro station on the border of Jette and Molenbeek-Saint-Jean with Brussels-North railway station, and with the Place Charles Rogier/Karel Rogierplein in Saint-Josse-ten-Noode via Tour & Taxis.

Social engagement and urban industry
In 2018, Tour & Taxis invited the public to name new private and public streets on the redeveloped site. According to The Guardian, "Belgian citizens were given the chance to name 28 streets, alleys, squares and walkways that make up the former industrial zone of Tour & Taxis. The final names were chosen by a jury comprising city officials, local heritage experts and property developer Extensa." Ceci n'est pas une rue ("This is not a street") was one choice, a reference to the Belgian surrealist artist René Magritte's painting The Treachery of Images. Another street was named for the Belgian impressionist painter Anna Boch. The late Belgian filmmaker Chantal Akerman, known for the cult classic Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles, and Belgium's first female doctor, Isala Van Diest, each had a street named in their honour.

Also in 2018, an obelisk was erected in the Tour & Taxis park to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The obelisk was commissioned by former Brussels Minister of the Environment and Energy, , and designed by architect Bas Smelts.

PermaFungi, a circular economy project that sells oyster mushrooms at local businesses in Brussels,  grows its mushrooms in the basement of the Royal Depot from used coffee grounds collected from Le Pain Quotidien.

The non-profit organisation Parckfarm T&T operates on the grounds of the Tour & Taxis park. The volunteer-run "edible park" focuses on environmental and social projects, and offers classes on gardening, cooking, and nutrition.

Early in 2020, the new production site and taproom of the Brasserie de la Senne opened its doors at Tour & Taxis, on the /. The new brewery is directly across from the Royal Depot. It was located in Molenbeek-Saint-Jean before moving to its present site. The brewery is well known for many of its award-winning ales and stouts.

title: Kadriye Nurmambet

text:
Kadriye Nurmambet (also spelled in Crimean Tatar as: Qadriye Nurmambet, قَادْرِیَ نُرْمٰومْبَتً, Ҡадрие Нурмамбет and in Romanian as: Cadrie Nurmambet; 21 August 1933 – 31 January 2023) was a Romanian Crimean Tatar traditional folk singer and folklorist who attracted national attention and was known as The Nightingale of Dobruja.

Biography
Nurmambet was born on 21 August 1933 to Pakize and Ahmet Nurmambet in Bazargic, Dobruja, in the Kingdom of Romania (nowadays Dobrich, Bulgaria). Her father was an officer in the 40th Artillery Regiment, Mărăşeşti 9th Division. When Romania ceded Southern Dobruja to Bulgaria, at the beginning of World War II, her family moved north to Medgidia where her father was appointed commander of a garrison.

Nurmambet studied law at the University of Bucharest and graduated in 1957. She was the first female Crimean Tatar lawyer in Romania and she served in the Constanta Bar Association.

Nurmambet had an interest in folklore and folk music as a child and early on joined Crimean Tatar and Romanian folk groups. Her first stage performance was in 1950 at the Romanian Athenaeum, alongside notable folk singers Emil Gavriş, Ştefan Lăzărescu, Lucreția Ciobanu, Maria Lătărețu and pan flute virtuoso Fănică Luca. They performed with the Barbu Lautarul Orchestra, conducted by Ionel Budişteanu and Nicu Stănescu.

In 1954 professor Tiberiu Alexandru at the National University of Music Bucharest praised her performance and debuted her voice on the radio. Her first disc was released in 1960 at Electrecord, followed by other recordings in 1963, 1974, 1980, 1982, and 1989.

Kadriye learned her first folk songs from her mother, but later she developed a strong interest in collecting traditional songs. She used to travel in the villages of Dobruja looking for people carrying out Crimean, Nogai Tatar, and Turkish folk culture. In 1957 she was invited to record over 90 traditional Tatar and Turkish songs for the Golden Sound Archive of the Ethnography and Folklore Institute of Bucharest. Throughout her life she made prominent efforts to preserve the traditional music of the Turks and Tatars of Romania by teaching and counseling their folklore.

In 2009, Nurmambet released a studio album, titled Tatar and Turkish Traditional Folk Songs and recorded by Electrecord.

Nurmambet died on 31 January 2023, at the age of 89.

title: 2014 Quetta Airbase attack

text:
The 2014 Quetta airbase attack occurred on 15 August 2014, when approximately 13 Tehrik-i-Taliban militants attempted to storm two airbases of the Pakistan Army and Pakistan Air Force; PAF Base Samungli and Khalid Airbase, both located in Quetta, Balochistan, Pakistan. The attack was largely unsuccessful as Pakistani security forces foiled the attempt following a major armed engagement between the two sides which resulted in the deaths of 12 militants, while 12 people were injured, including one attacker and 11 security personnel.

Background
PAF Base Samungli is an airbase of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF), located near the Quetta International Airport in the Pakistani province of Balochistan. The PAF No. 17 Squadron and No. 23 Squadron are based in Samungli, which has been used as a main operating base since the 1970s. The Samungli airbase was also used by the United States to conduct military logistics operations for the post-9/11 War in Afghanistan. PAF Base Khalid is another airbase located some  away from PAF Base Samungli.

Attack
The attack took place in the early hours of 15 August 2014, when Tehrik-i-Taliban militants, armed with automatic weapons, explosives and RPGs, attempted to storm PAF Base Samungli and PAF Base Khalid. According to a military spokesperson, Pakistani security forces pre-emptively engaged the terrorists during their infiltration attempt. Heavy contingents of police and security forces responded after an intense gunfight erupted between the terrorists and airbase personnel, during which explosives were extensively used. Lieutenant-General Nasir Khan Janjua of the Pakistan Army Southern Command (also based near Quetta) stated that six dead militants were found in PAF Base Khalid while another six were found in PAF Base Samungli. A wounded militant was captured by security forces and subsequently shifted for medical treatment and interrogation. 11 Pakistani security personnel were also wounded in the attack, and shifted for medical treatment. The Pakistan Armed Forces' Inter-Services Public Relations media wing later released a conclusive statement saying that both airbases had been secured.

Responsibility
Ghalib Mehsud, commander of the Tehrik-i-Taliban's Fidayeen Islam wing, claimed responsibility for the attack, and in a threat to the Government of Pakistan, stated that there will be more attacks in the coming days.

title: 1973 Nantes mid-air collision

text:
The 1973 Nantes mid-air collision occurred when two airliners travelling to London Heathrow airport hit each other over Nantes, France, on 5 March 1973. They were an Iberia McDonnell Douglas DC-9 flying from Palma de Mallorca to London and a Spantax Convair 990 from Madrid to London. All 68 people on board the DC-9 were killed. The CV-990 was able to make a successful emergency landing at Cognac – Châteaubernard Air Base.

Crash
Iberia flight 504, a scheduled service from Palma de Mallorca, and Spantax flight 400, a charter flight from Madrid, were both traversing France en route to Heathrow airport in London. They were guided by French military Air Traffic Control as the country's civilian air traffic controllers were on strike. The Iberia DC-9 was due to reach the Nantes VOR point at 12:52 at flight level 290 (29,000 feet) and the Spantax Convair CV-990 was scheduled to reach it at 13:00 at the same level.
Both aircraft had received instructions from Marina sector Air Traffic Control at the French Air Force base in Mont-de-Marsan, who asked them to contact Menhir sector ATC at the French Air Force base in Brest. The Spantax aircraft was on the boundary between the sectors and had difficulty hearing Marina ATC, also receiving no reply to two requests to circle to avoid arriving at the Nantes VOR before 13:00 GMT. The crew decided to start the manoeuvre without ATC authorisation and while in cloud collided with the Iberia DC-9 at 12:52 GMT. The DC-9 lost control, exploded, and broke up in mid-air before crashing to the ground.

The CV-990 managed to land at Cognac – Châteaubernard Air Base with damage to its left wing. A survivor, Betty Barrett, later recounted:

All 61 passengers and 7 crew of the Iberia flight were killed, including Michael Jeffery, the former manager of The Animals and Jimi Hendrix. 47 of the dead were British citizens. No-one aboard the Spantax flight was harmed.

Report
The accident was investigated by French air accident body, the Bureau d'Enquêtes et d'Analyses pour la Sécurité de l'Aviation Civile. Its report identified difficulties in communication between the flight crew of the Convair CV-990 and air traffic control as well as procedural errors from both parties. The crew's unilateral decision to turn the aircraft brought it into the path of the DC-9. ATC had assumed a time-based separation of the two aircraft at the same flight level.

In popular culture
The event is briefly mentioned in the MSNBC/The Weather Channel documentary series Why Planes Crash, during the first season episode "Collision Course". The episode features an interview with survivor Betty Barrett who shows images of the CV-990's damaged wing after landing.
