title: Sepahan Airlines Flight 5915

text:
Sepahan Airlines Flight 5915 was a scheduled domestic passenger flight from Iranian capital Tehran Mehrabad International Airport to Tabas, South Khorasan Province, Iran.  On 10 August 2014, the HESA IrAn-140 twin turboprop serving the flight crashed shortly after takeoff from Mehrabad International Airport, falling into a boulevard near the Azadi Stadium. Of the 42 passengers and six crew on board, 40 people died.

Iran's Civil Aviation Organization mainly attributed the crash to mechanical error. The aircraft suffered a malfunction on one of its engines shortly after take-off. Mismanagement of the emergency by the crew caused the aircraft to lose altitude rapidly, causing it to crash onto a boulevard. Subsequently, investigators also blamed the confusing Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) that caused the crew to over-estimate the maximum take-off weight.

Accident
Sepahan Airlines Flight 5915 was scheduled to fly to Tabas, a major city in South Khorasan Province from Iranian capital Tehran. The aircraft was carrying 42 passengers and 6 crew members. 2 Sepahan Airlines off-duty mechanics were listed as passengers. Flight 5915 took off from Tehran's Mehrabad International Airport from Runway 29L at 09:22 a.m local time.

Just 2 seconds prior to its rotation, a malfunction occurred on the right engine. The crew immediately declared an emergency and asked to return to the airport with an immediate left turn. As the co-pilot kept reporting on the engine failure to the tower, the aircraft stalled. It kept descending rapidly to the right. The right wing then contacted trees and the ground.

The aircraft crashed onto trees and broke into pieces. It crashed in a residential block near Mina Glass Boulevard in western Tehran. The impact ruptured the fuel lines, causing the aircraft to erupt in flames. The engines and the wings detached. The aircraft then hit a concrete wall on the side of the boulevard and exploded. The tail of the aircraft then flung onto the boulevard.

The airport's emergency response team was immediately notified. However, due to miscommunication and poor coordination, the team didn't reach the crash site in a timely manner. At least 11 passengers were extricated alive from the wreckage and were taken to local hospitals, all of whom were in serious condition. 3 passengers later succumbed to their injuries, leaving only 8 survivors. A total of 40 passengers and crews were killed in the crash.

Aircraft
The aircraft, an Antonov An-140, was manufactured in 2008 and was completed in Isfahan with a serial number of 90–05. It was registered to Sepahan Airlines with a registration code of EP-GPA. At the time of the accident, the aircraft had accrued a total of 1,370 flight hours and 1058 hours of flight cycles. The aircraft was equipped with two engines. The left engine was manufactured in 2007 and had accrued a total of 1,311 cycles. The right engine was manufactured in 2004 and had accrued a total of 1,329 cycles.

The Antonov An-140 (upon which the HESA IrAn-140 is based) is a relatively recent development, with knock-down kits being delivered for domestic Iranian assembly as recently as 2007.

Passengers and crew
There were 42 passengers and a crew of six. Of the 42 passengers, 36 were adults and six were children. 34 passengers and all six crew members were killed in the accident.

The pilot flying was a 63-year-old captain and had accumulated a total of more than 9,400 hours of flying, including 2,000 hours as a pilot on the Antonov An-140. He held a certificate for flying the Antonov An-140 since May 2014.  Examination on the medical records revealed that he had no medical limitations and that he was not fatigued during the crash.

The pilot not-flying was a 32-year-old captain and had accumulated a total flying time of 572 hours, 400 of which were on the Antonov An-140. He began his transition training as a Captain of Antonov An-140 in September 2005. Documents revealed that he was well-rested during the crash.

Investigation

Right engine failure
Survivors recalled that the right engine of the aircraft malfunctioned during its take-off. Analysis on the aircraft's logbook revealed that numerous errors and failures had been recorded on the right engine. In April 2014, at least 2 engine failures were recorded. On 23 April and 24 April, while en route to Bandar Abbas, the right engine failed during the aircraft's cruising stage. On 28 April, the engine failure warning light was illuminated for a short time. On 29 April, during the inspection on both engines, a corrosion on the left engine's compressor blade was discovered by ground crews.

Just 3 days before the crash, on 7 August, during its flight from Tabriz to Isfahan, a violent shaking was recorded on the right engine. The FDR recorded this shaking and the warning alarm was triggered. A sensor replacement was conducted to eliminate the problem. However, after the replacement there was a difference in the shaking of the right engine and the left engine, which was deemed by investigators as unreliable. Investigators stated that the replacement was improperly installed by crews.

Further investigation revealed that the right engine failure was caused by a malfunction on the aircraft's fuel supply system. The fuel lines to the combustion chamber was cut off, causing it to fail. This was caused by a malfunction on the aircraft's electronic engine control (known as SAY-2000) The SAY-2000 didn't work as expected, in which the system caused a 17 seconds delay on the feathering of the aircraft. After 17 seconds, the feather pump was switched on and the aircraft's system finally detected the failing right engine and began the propeller feathering.

Investigators noted that the flight crews immediately detected the right engine failure approximately 5 seconds after the failure, whereas the warnings occurred only 14 seconds later.

Reports on previous studies on the Antonov An-140's SAY-2000 system revealed that there had been some modifications on the software of the system. This was due to the fact that previous occurrences revealed that the system had caused numerous engine failures with a rate that was above the acceptable level. The modifications were not effective as the failure rate was not reduced to acceptable level.

Further findings
The investigation also revealed that the aircraft had been overloaded. This was due to the Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) that was not clear and was deemed as confusing by investigators. It was suspected that the AFM confused the pilot during their calculations on the maximum take-off weight, which caused an over-estimation on the weight by 190 kg. The aircraft's fuel was also 500 kg more than the required amount. The investigation also revealed that the aircraft didn't take off at the supposed take-off speed. Instead of taking off at the supposed 224 km/h, the crew elected to take off at a speed of 219 km/h.

Shortly after the right engine failure, the pilots were supposed to press the right engine feather button to feather the right propeller. The pilots had discussed about the failure just 5 seconds after it began malfunctioning. 9 seconds after the failure, the pilot flying had re-emphasized on the failure. However, neither pilots pushed the right propeller feather button. 14 seconds after the right engine failure, the co-pilot reported the engine failure to the Air Traffic Control. At the time, the speed had reached its peak speed of 224 km/h before it began to drop. The aircraft then began to stall. Crash was inevitable as the altitude was too low to recover.

Final report
It was later determined that multiple factors had contributed to the accident. The aircraft was overloaded by , and was not properly trimmed for takeoff. The stabilizer should have been trimmed upwards between zero and six degrees, however the trim setting used during the accident flight was two degrees downwards. The rudder trim had not been centered. The flaps, which were supposed to be set at 15 degrees, were set only at ten degrees. During the takeoff roll, a malfunction in the electronic fuel delivery system caused a loss of power in the right engine. Two seconds later, although rotation speed had not yet been reached, the captain brought the plane into the air. Shortly afterwards, the crew noticed the engine failure but did not immediately attempt to feather the propeller. The plane began to lose airspeed, reaching a maximum height of  before descending and eventually entering an aerodynamic stall. By the time the crew feathered the propeller, 17 seconds after the initial failure, it was too late to recover the plane, which impacted a highway  from the end of the runway. The final investigation concludes:

title: Second Tikal–Calakmul War

text:
The Second Tikal–Calakmul War was the second in a series of wars between Tikal and Calakmul known as The Tikal–Calakmul wars. Tikal and Calakmul were two of the most prosperous cities in Peten during the classic period of Mesoamerican chronology. After the classic came the post classic which was characterized by a decline in Maya Civilization. During that time both Tikal and Calakmul were abandoned.

Dos Pilas
In 629 Ajaw K'inich Muwaan Jol II of Tikal made his son B'alaj Chan K'awiil ( in the Maya writing system) ruler of Dos Pilas, a newly founded vassal state of Tikal. B'alaj Chan K'awiil was a major protagonist in the bitter factional dispute between two lords carrying the same emblem glyph. The clash emerged from the obscurity of Tikal's 130-year Hiatus and coincided with the epic contest for political ascendency between Tikal and Calakmul. B'alaj Chan K'awiil's claim to the royal emblem of Mutal  was evidently based on him being the son of K'inich Muwaan Jol, as stated on Dos Pilas Panel 6. Nuun Ujol Chaak, the other bearer of the Tikal emblem, was probably his half-brother.

A recently exposed section of Hieroglyphic Stairway 2 in Dos Pilas might have thrown light on the timing and circumstances of a Tikal at the time, but erosion obscures most of the details of B'alaj Chan K'awiil's early life. The text does reveal that in 648 he scored a military victory while the same day saw the death of a lord bearing the Mutal emblem. It is unclear, but these events appear to serve as preamble to what came next. In 650 Yuknoom the Great, the Snake Lord, of Calakmul attacked Dos Pilas and forced B'alaj Chan K'awiil to take refuge at Aguateca. Then in 657 the Snake Lord attacked Tikal itself and drove Nuun Ujol Chaak from his city, establishing Calakmul as the supreme power in the entire region. B'alaj Chan K'awiil accepted Yuknoom Ch'een as his overlord, and Nuun Ujol Chaak was probably compelled to pledge fealty as well, for both lords carrying the Mutal emblem witnessed a ritual performed by Calakmul prince Yuknoom Yich'aak K'ahk' at some point in the years leading up to 662.

Civil War
In 672, Nuun Ujol Chaak attacked Dos Pilas and forced B'alaj Chan K'awiil to abandon the city, this time fleeing to a place named Chaak Naah. The following year Chaak Naah was set burned by Nuun, and B'alaj Chan K'awiil was compelled to take flight again. He traveled to the kingdom of Hix Witz. It was not until Calakmul vanquished Nuun Ujol Chaak at Pulil in 677, that B'alaj Chan K'awiil is able to return to Dos Pilas. The final showdown came in 679 when B'alaj Chan K'awiil defeated Nuun Ujol Chaak and captured a Tikal lord named Nuun Bahlam.

Tikal's return to power

Balaj Chan K'awiil began a program of monumental inscriptions in 682, recording his travails and ultimate victory, as well as his debt of fealty to Calakmul. He stated that he celebrated the 9.12.10.0.0 period ending at Calakmul in a ceremony with his overlord Yuknoom the Great, and he returned to Calakmul four years later for the accession of Yuknoom Yich'aak K'ahk'.

B'alaj Chan K'awiil's daughter Lady Six Sky re-founded the dynasty of Naranjo, while another daughter (or perhaps a sister) married into the royal lineage of Arroyo de Piedra, which together with Tamarindito had been one of the principal powers in the Petexbatun region before the founding of Dos Pilas. B'alaj Chan K'awiil's marriage to the Lady of Itzan (a nearby kingdom) produced at least one son and heir.

B'alaj died in 692 and three years later in 695 during a large battle Tikal turned the tables on Calakmul, ending the second war. After this the balance of power shifted heavily from Calakmul to Tikal.

title: Third Tikal–Calakmul War

text:
The Third Tikal–Calakmul War was the third in a series of wars between Tikal and Calakmul, (Tikal–Calakmul wars) two of the Major superpowers of the Maya Civilization during the classic period.

During the third war, the vassal state of Quiriguá played an important role when it declared independence from Copán, Tikal's closest ally in the south, and then allied itself with Calakmul.

Before Quiriguá
After Calakmul's defeat in 695 (9.13.2.14.19 on the Maya calendar) violence continued between it and Tikal but for the most part died down. Then again in 720 (9.14.8.3.9) conflicts slowly started up.

Despite Tikal being more prosperous, Naranjo, Dos Pilas, and El Peru remained under Calakmul's control.

Between 733 and 736 Tikal imprisoned a noble from Calakmul after a victorious battle. His capture was commemorated by the building of an altar that has a sculpture of him bound by Tikal soldiers.

Quiriguá's revolution

Quiriguá was a small city in the south of the Maya area, which slowly grew to house 16,000 people. The city had long been a vassal of the larger Copán. In 724 (9.14.12.4.10), Uaxaclajuun Ub'aah K'awiil, Ajaw of Copán, installed K'ak' Tiliw Chan Yopaat as regional ruler of Quiriguá.

In 734 at Altar M in Quiriguá, K’ak Tiliw Chan Yopaat gave himself the title k’uhul ajaw, thus declaring Quiriguá’s independence from Copán. This led to a four-year revolutionary war. During this, in 736 (9.15.4.7.13), Wamaw K'awiil and several ambassadors from Calakmul met with K’ak Tiliw Chan Yopaat.

On April 27, 738, Uaxaclajuun Ub'aah K'awiil was captured by K'ak' Tiliw Chan Yopaat. Due to there having been no major battles around copán or Quiriguá it has been concluded that he was  probably not captured in battle.

On 3 May, 738 (9.15.6.14.6), after a public trial and during a ritual, Uaxaclajuun Ub'aah K'awiil was decapitated by an axe, recorded as an "axe event".

After Quiriguá's revolution

Though Quiriguá was to a certain extent a vassal of Calakmul it was never directly under Calakmul's control. At the same time Copán never attempted to re conquer Quiriguá because its leaders were afraid of the military power of Calakmul. The alliance was mutually beneficial to Quiriguá and Calakmul. Quiriguá's importance was mainly due to its position on several major trade routes.

in 743 El Peru was taken by Tikal and in 744 Naranjo was taken, destroying Calakmuls once powerful and extensive network of allies vassal states and trade networks.

Aftermath

After 790, Calakmul lost most of its northern territories to nations on the Yucatán Peninsula.

In 810, three stele were raised in Calakmul. March 20 829 is 9.19.19.0.0 on the Maya calendar, the beginning of a new Winal. Normally, new stele would have been raised on this date, but none were. In 899 (possibly 909) the last stele record was raised in Calakmul. After this, a few more stele were raised, but these don't appear to include actual writing. Instead, they appear to be imitations from people trying to keep Maya tradition from disappearing. This was part of the Maya Collapse: Tikal and most of the other major cities of the time similarly experienced an extreme population decrease.

title: Tikal–Calakmul wars

text:
The Tikal–Calakmul wars were a series of wars, mainly between Tikal and Calakmul on the Yucatán Peninsula, but also with vassal states in the Petén Basin such as Copan, Dos Pilas, Naranjo, Sacul, Quiriguá, and briefly Yaxchilan had a role in initiating the first war.

Background
In 537 the Ajaws of Bonampak, Lakamtuun, and Calakmul were captured by Yaxchilan. Bonampak and Lakamtuun remained under the control of Yaxchilan but in retaliation Calakmul conquered the latter. This gave the polity a adventagous strategic position with territory in both the east and the west of Tikal. In numerical terms, however, Calakmul remained inferior to Tikal: Despite being one of the most prosperous Maya cities, Calakmul housed just about 50,000 people, while its entire kingdom had a population of 200,000. In contrast, Tikal was home to almost half a million people. Both city states greatly eclipsed other Mayan polities, and have been described as "superpowers" that led rival power blocs.

First war, 537–572

After conquering Yaxchilan and its subsidiaries, Calakmul allied itself with anti-Tikal cities such as Caracol, El Perú and El Zotz. The latter in particular was located closely to Tikal, and had been opposed to its more powerful neighbor for a long time. The conflict between Tikal, Calakmul and their respective allies resulted in the increasing sophistication of Maya warfare, including the construction of large, well-fortified citadels to protect strategically significant routes. One of the most notable forts, La Cuernavilla, was constructed between Tikal and El Zotz.

Calakmul went on to conquer Naranjo in 546 (9.5.11.11.18 on the Maya calendar). Tikal and its kingdom were not destroyed, but suffered major losses and went into decline after the war ended in 572 (9.6.18.0.14).

"Cold War"
The phrase cold war has been used to describe the time between major conflicts involving Calakmul and Tikal. During these times there was continuous war but no major battles or political changes took place. There were of course minor border skirmishes.

As Tikal gradually regained strength, its local, smaller rivals such as El Zotz declined. In 629, Tikal's king K'ihnich Muwahn Jol II sent his son B'alaj Chan K'awiil to Dos Pilas where he established a military outpost to defend Tikal's wider zone of control. At first, B'alaj Chan K'awiil maintained loyalty to Tikal, and as time went on fighting erupted once more between Tikal and Calakmul. The latter gradually gained the upper hand, and Dos Pilas was eventually overrun by Calakmul after years of heavy combat. B'alaj Chan K'awiil initially fled into exile, but then opted to switch sides in 648.

Second war, 648–695

The second war lasted from 648 to 695. One of the main battle grounds of this conflict was Dos Pilas, now a separatist kingdom led by B'alaj Chan K'awiil, under Calakmul's dominance. Supported by his new allies,  B'alaj Chan K'awiil consequently began a destructive "proxy war" against his old mother city. In 672, Tikal retook Dos Pilas, but B'alaj Chan K'awiil escaped to Aguateca. He rallied his followers and allies, and launched a counter-offensive, defeating the army of Tikal in a major battle in 679.

After his victory, B'alaj Chan K'awiil captured and sacrificed Tikal's ruler (his own brother). From then until 695, three years after B'alaj's death, Calakmul factually dominated Tikal. In 695, under the leadership of Jasaw Chan K'awiil I, Tikal won a major battle with Calakmul and turned the tables, effectively ending the Second Tikal–Calakmul War.

Second interval
With Tikal having liberated itself, it once more attacked Dos Pilas and challenged Calakmul's power. In 702, Tikal suffered another defeat by Dos Pilas.

Third war, 720–744

K'ak' Tiliw Chan Yopaat, Ajaw of Quiriguá was one of the key people during the third war. Quiriguá was a province of Copán, then in 734 K'ak' Tiliw Chan Yopaat led a revolution against Uaxaclajuun Ub'aah K'awiil, Ajaw of Copán. Wamaw K'awiil, kaloomte (high king, a position higher than ajaw) of Calakmul traveled to Quiriguá and formed an alliance with K'ak' Tiliw Chan Yopaat. Uaxaclajuun Ub'aah K'awiil was executed in 738, and Quiriguá became independent. By 744 El Peru and Naranjo had been reconquered by Tikal, and Calakmul had been defeated.

Aftermath
As Tikal and Calakmul fought each other, Dos Pilas experienced a period of expansion, conquering several other small cities states. However, Dos Pilas' kingdom collapsed around 761, though its dynasty survived until the early 800s in Aguateca.

Having been deprived of its military reputation Calakmul lost its northern provinces and collapsed, the last recorded date in the city was 899, possibly 909. Similarly Tikal, and most of the Maya cities were destroyed in the Maya collapse. The war may have contributed to the collapse, along with overpopulation, disease, famine, and others.

title: Rob Thompson (rugby union)

text:
Rob Thompson (born 29 August 1991) is a New Zealand rugby union player who currently plays centre for  in New Zealand's domestic Mitre 10 Cup and the  in the international Super Rugby competition.

Early career

Originally hailing from Manawatu, Thompson started out his rugby career playing club rugby in his home province for University while working as a storeman. After failing to be picked in the Manawatu Turbos ITM Cup squad in 2012, he headed south to try out for Canterbury's Colts side. His development continued in 2013 when he was selected for the Crusaders Knights squad during the first half of the year and the Canterbury ITM Cup team in the latter part.

Senior career

Although Thompson wasn't initially named in the   squad for the 2013 ITM Cup, injuries and All Blacks call-ups meant that Thompson was promoted from the wider training group and went on to become a key player as the red and blacks were crowned ITM Cup Premiership champions.   He made 10 appearances and scored 4 tries in his first year of provincial rugby and was subsequently promoted to Canterbury's full squad for 2014.   The Cantabrians failed to defend their Premiership crown in 2014 but Thompson did feature in all 11 of their games during a season which culminated with elimination at the hands of local rivals,  at the semi-final stage.

Both he and Canterbury were back on song in 2015 with Canterbury reclaiming their ITM Cup Premiership Title with a 25-23 victory over  in the final and Thompson finishing as the tournament's joint leading try scorer along with George Moala of Auckland.   His try haul of 10 included a hat-trick in Round 4, a 57-7 win over his home province, Manawatu.   Canterbury made it back to back provincial titles in 2016 and 8 titles in 9 years with an MCL strain restricting Thompson to just 6 appearances in which he managed an impressive haul of 4 tries including one in the final, a 43-27 win over Tasman.

Super Rugby

Thompson's form during the 2013 ITM Cup brought him to the attention of Christchurch-based Super Rugby franchise, the  who named him as a member of their wider training group for the 2014 Super Rugby season during which he made a total of 2 appearances.
However, the following year he found himself without a Super Rugby contract and had to rebuild his career in club rugby.

In October 2015, after a successful season with Canterbury in which he was the ITM Cup's joint leading try scorer; he revealed that he had signed a two-year contract with the Dunedin-based  for the 2016 Super Rugby season.   He found opportunities easier to come by in Dunedin than he had in Christchurch and played 9 times for the tournament defending champions as they made the semi-finals before losing out 42-30 to the  in Johannesburg.   He was retained in the squad for the 2017 season.

International

On 27 October 2016, Thompson was called up to the Māori All Blacks squad as an injury replacement for Declan O'Donnell ahead of the 2016 end-of-year rugby union internationals, however a hamstring injury picked up during the Mitre 10 Cup final meant that he also had to withdraw and saw his place taken by Ambrose Curtis on 30 October.

Reception
Critical reception for The Midnight Swim was positive, with much of the film's praise centering on the performances and the "acutely unsettling" tone of the film. Indiewire praised these elements, calling the film "enigmatic and fathomless," and stating that the film "is, among other things, a movie about sisters, who actually seem like sisters. They look alike, they sound alike, they move alike enough to seem like sibs. One is a believer, one is a cynic; one is, at least on the surface, slightly unstable. They may be variations on a single genetic theme, but even their differences speak to kinship." Twitch Film and Film School Rejects also wrote positive reviews, with Film School Rejects commenting that although they saw the found footage format as a "constant distraction" the film was overall well acted and praised the film's imagery.

Fangoria commented that the found footage format was integral to the story and something more akin to an emotional POV, stating that "the camera uniquely acts as an almost-transparent bridge between you and a character's psyche." Moveable Fest says the movie "terrifies existentially." Ion Cinema states that "the unnerving quality of Sarah Adina Smith's directorial debut occurs mostly in its aftereffects, leaving us with the profound, less earthbound implications in its final few moments."

Release
The film had its world premiere at the Fantasia Film Festival on July 27, 2014. on May 12, 2015, the film was acquired by Candy Factory Films. The film was released in a limited release and through video on demand on June 26, 2015.

title: Murder of Mary Speir Gunn

text:
Mary Speir Gunn (31 August 1862 – 18 October 1913) was murdered in a shooting attack at the isolated Northbank Cottage near Portencross in North Ayrshire, Scotland on the evening of Saturday, 18 October 1913. Six shots were fired through the living-room window at night. Three shots struck Mary Gunn, the fatal one piercing her heart. Two shots hit her sister Jessie McLaren, who collapsed with a bullet lodged in her back, but she survived the attack. Jessie's husband, Alexander McLaren, was injured in the index finger of his left hand.

Newspapers described the murder at the time as "a terrible and most mysterious tragedy". Nobody was charged or prosecuted for the crime, which remains an unsolved murder.

Mary Gunn
Mary Speir Gunn was born in Stevenston in North Ayrshire to parents Jane Speir of Dalry and Gilbert Gunn of Gateside. Mary was one of three sisters and her father was a well known railway contractor and was said to be one of Scotland's strongest men. In 1881 and 1891 Mary was living in Beith at Burnside and was said to be very good looking, the Burnsian style sobriquet "Beauty of Beith" accurately describing her. In 1891 she is recorded to have had the then unusual occupation of "telephone operator", indeed being the town's first in 1883;
she later worked at Ardrossan in the same capacity.

In 1901 Mary was working for and living in Wigtownshire with her brother-in-law Alexander McLaren, then aged 48, a self-employed baker, his wife and Mary's sister Jessie, also aged 48, and Jane Speir Gunn, aged 83, Mary's mother. This and other supporting information has been supplied via David R Craig's family tree.
Alexander had run the Glengarnock Iron and Steel Company Store before moving to Port William in Wigtownshire. Alexander built an evangelistic Ebenezer Hall at Port William which he operated and was also on the school board. Alexander was offered the post office at Taynuilt and moved there with his wife before moving into farming and then retiring to Portencross.

Mary had stayed at Port William to tie up the family affairs and when she joined them in Taynuilt she found that she was just expected to work on the farm. Mary's middle sister lived in Canada with her husband John Craig and Mary decided to accept her invitation to join them, however despite a promising love affair she was back at Taynuilt before long. Her romantic interlude in Saskatchewan was not found to have any link to her murder. In 1913 at the age of 51 Mary was living at the remote and inaccessible Northbank Cottage, an old farm situated beneath the precipitous red sandstone cliffs on the raised beach near Portencross with her sister Jessie and brother-in-law Alex.

Background
Alexander McLaren and his wife Jessie and Mary Gunn were not locals and had only moved in during the month of May 1913.
Alexander had been a self-employed baker, a farmer and something of an evangelist. He was sixty at the time of the murder and his wife Jessie was sixty-one whilst Mary was only forty-nine and still very good looking. The family had kept to themselves and were regarded locally as being quite well off. Alexander had recently sold the sheep from his old Taynuilt farm at a Perth auction and therefore had £100 that a potential thief may have thought was held as cash by him at Northbank Cottage.

On the day of the murder Mary went shopping in West Kilbride, Alexander walked out to meet her on her return journey and they met a rather nondescript stranger who they walked and talked with.

The murder

On the dark, wet and stormy evening of Saturday 18 October 1913 the family were relaxing in front of an open fire in the parlour with only an oil lamp throwing a low light over the room. The two ladies were knitting and Alexander was reading aloud from a book, At Sunwich Port by W. W. Jacobs with his back to the only window in the room. Suddenly at around 8.30 pm a pistol shot rang out, followed by five more shots. Mary cried out "Alex I'm shot" and collapsed with three bullet wounds, the fatal one piercing her heart. Alexander had time to shout to his wife " Floor, Floor "; however, Jessie was then hit by two bullets and Alex, shot first, had a wound to the hand, penetrating his left index finger to the bone, made when the bullet passed through the book he was reading, throwing it to the floor. At least one fired bullet was found lying outside the broken window, having ricocheted off the stone walls, and two bullets were also removed from the chair in which Alexander had been seated that night.

Alexander, not aware that he had been shot at first, leapt to his feet, pushing his wife to the floor and then rushing out to release his collie and eight-month-old Scottish terrier pup from an outhouse in an effort to catch the murderer. However, he found nothing and only three sets of footprints and one or more used bullets were found as evidence of the act. The footprints did not match Alexander's boots.

Aftermath
Having no phone in the house Alex ran first to the farm of Alexander Murray at Portencross where he informed them of the attacks and then ran to the nearby mansion house of Auchenames at Portencross where the laird, William Adams, had a phone and the Police and a doctor were quickly on the scene, arriving by taxi, although oddly the Police had no phone and a friend of the laird in West Kilbride had to knock on the Police Station door and pass on the news. Mary was dead and Jessie had a bullet removed from her back by the doctor. Alexander was taken to West Kilbride Police Station where, suffering from shock, he did his best to recount the happenings of the incident.

The gun was found through the calibre of the shell case to be a heavy army revolver of the Colt-type, however it was never located and may have been disposed of in the sea. Jessie MacLaren was treated at Kilmarnock Infirmary and was only released in January 1914. The Southern Necropolis in Glasgow is the final resting place of Mary Speir Gunn, interred wearing her favourite plaid.

Plaster casts were made of the six footprints and enquiries revealed that an unidentified man had recently been to three farms in the locality seeking directions to Portencross, a fact corroborated by a group of local schoolchildren. It was odd that the dogs in their nearby outhouse had not barked as they usually would have at the occasional passing stranger and the revolver was fired at an acute angle through the window as if the perpetrator was afraid that he or she would be recognised as someone known to the victims.

The police made extensive enquiries but to no avail, investigating links as far away as Saskatchewan in Canada where Mary Gunn had a boyfriend. One Police theory was that the murderer committed suicide by drowning, an unsuccessful watch was kept for a body and the Ardneil Woods were searched without success.
All reports of the Police involvement emphasise how thorough the investigation was.

Jessie McLaren recovered from superficial wounds to a kidney, but Mary of course had died at the scene. It was thought that the murderer had targeted Alexander as the intended victim.

Alexander McLaren stated that he had no idea what the motive was as he had no disputes with anyone and a robbery "gone wrong" seemed unlikely. A £100 reward was offered but no one came forward.

A legal action against Alexander was brought by Mrs Elizabeth Walker or Gibson, the keeper of the boarding house at Portencross in 1915 who claimed that her business had suffered badly following accusations from Alexander that she knew something about the murder or had been somehow involved, however the complainant dropped the action and had to pay her own costs.

Alexander and Jessie left Northbank Cottage and seem to have moved to Garnock Street in Dalry, possibly living with a friend. Despite the trauma of the event and its aftermath they remained together.

The trail went cold and the multiple attack and murder, together with the motive behind the shootings, remain an unsolved mystery to this day.

Jack House speculates that Alexander was the perpetrator of the crime and his wife corroborated his version through being in shock at the time.

Views of the area

Micro-history
It was thought by some that Alexander was involved in the murder as he hoped to marry the marginally younger and more attractive Mary, however given their respective ages this seems unlikely given average lifespan at the time. At the time it was certainly unusual for an attractive woman to remain unmarried and to live with her sister and brother-in-law for so many years.

The author Jack House described the murder in his book Murder Not Proven.

Postcards were sold showing Northbank Cottage with a policeman standing on guard duty outside and sold in thousands.

Mary was the granddaughter of Margaret Gibson Spier who established Spier's school at Beith.

title: Action of Sequalteplan

text:
Action of Sequalteplan, February 25, 1848, was American victory by a force under Gen. Joseph Lane that defeated a Mexican guerrilla force under Celedonio Dómeco de Jarauta at Zacualtipan. It was the last American expedition against the Mexican guerrillas of Central Mexico in the war.

Background
In early February 1848, the portion of Scott's Army in Mexico City was engaged in collecting money and other assessments for the support of the army in the surrounding area. Mexican guerrillas were still causing difficulty for the American forces, especially to the north and northeast of the capital.

General Joseph Lane was put in command of a force of 250 Texas Rangers under Colonel Hays, 130 3rd Dragoons and Mounted Rifles under Major Polk, and Dominguez' Spy Company tasked with scouring that region of guerillas. Among these guerrillas Padre Jarauta was the most daring and influential of their leaders, having originally harassed the Americans on the roads between Vera Cruz and Jalapa. He was now in the region north of the capital with a "considerable force" of guerrilla infantry and lancer cavalry. It was this force that was the principal target of Lane's force when it left the city on February 17.

Lane marched eastward on the road toward Puebla then doubled back and turned north towards Tulancingo, where spies told him he could find Generals Paredes, Almonte and Padre Jarauta with a considerable force of guerillas.  Upon arriving on the 22nd, he found his surprise of the town had failed, Jarauta informed of his approach had marched away three days before. General Paredes had remained but gave them the slip when a party of Americans attempted to capture him at a rancho outside the town on the 23rd.

Soon afterward Lane received word that Jarauta's force had retreated seventy five miles north from Tulancingo to Zacualtipan, (American reports at the time called it Sequalteplan). Lane sent his sick and wounded back to Mexico City under the guard of Dominguez' Spy Company, while he made a forced march, arriving at the city at dawn on the 25th.

Battle
General Lane with Col. Hays' Texas Rangers charged into the town at the head of the column headed to the plaza at its center. A burst of musket fire came from a nearby cuartel occupied by 50 or 60 of Jarauta's men as they approached the plaza. Major Truit, led his men into the barracks where they killed or wounded 24 men and captured 20 others. Meanwhile, the plaza was occupied. Col. Hays with the larger portion of his Rangers attacked a strong detachment of lancers and infantry emerging from a cuartel on a street to their left. They engaged in a running fight with guerillas in the street and firing from behind walls, killing about 30 guerillas. General Lane continued forward beyond the plaza with the rest of the force to attack another detachment of Jarauta's men in another street.

When Hays returned to the plaza he was informed that General Lane was engaged in an intense fight against superior numbers of the enemy, and Hays sent Captain Daggett's Ranger Company to reinforce him. The Mexicans facing Lane fought hard using the cover available but were eventually driven off with a loss of 30 men.

Hays in pursuit of scattered fugitives, met Major Polk with two companies of the 3rd U.S. Dragoons, when they arrived in the suburbs of the town. Hearing firing the Major dismounted Walker's Rifles, and directing them against a cuartel from which the firing was coming. They silenced it, then moved on to a nearby church from which fire occasionally came. Lieut. George E. Maney, the Third Dragoons, Acting Adjutant, was sent back to order up the two companies of dragoons, with which Polk advanced beyond the plaza, to the top of a hill to the left, which dispersed the enemy. Polk ordered Lieutenant Adde to remain in occupation of the plaza, and Lieutenant Diwer's company, divided up into small squads, to pursue the enemy. Meanwhile, Walker had taken the church, killed some of the enemy, and captured others.

General Lane reported his loss to be one killed and six wounded. He estimated the Jaruata's loss at one hundred and fifty killed, (including Padre Martinez, Jarauta's second in command) and fifty captured including three American deserters. At the end of his report Lane wrote about a fire that broke out in the city during the fighting:

I regret to state, that during the engagement, in the incessant firing, fire was accidentally communicated to the thatched roof of one of the houses, and which finally spread over a large portion of the town.

Aftermath
Lane left Zacualtipan the next day. Jarauta and his force despite having suffered a heavy blow, returned a few hours after Lane had left, visiting and seeing to the care of the wounded before following Lane's force south, looking for an opportunity to pick off stragglers or make an attack, but were given none. Lane's force arrived in Mexico City without further incident on March 1.

The Action of Sequalteplan was the last expedition of the American forces against the guerrillas in central Mexico before the Armistice of March 5 was signed. Hostilities by the forces of the belligerents were to cease with the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. However some of the guerrillas, including Jarauta, actively and stridently opposed the treaty and so continued their hostilities, making the roads dangerous. Eventually these groups were dispersed or crushed by the Mexican government, with Jarauta himself being captured and executed by the Mexican Army in July. The Americans evacuated Mexico in August following news of the approval of the Treaty by the Senate.

title: Richard John Durley

text:
Richard John Durley MBE (11 February 1868 – 13 August 1948) was Professor of Mechanical Engineering at McGill University (1901–1912), one of three commission members for the design of the University of British Columbia and, during World War I, Officer-in-Charge of Gauges and Standards in the Canadian Ministry of Munitions Department of Inspection.

After the war he was appointed a founding vice-chairman and secretary of the Canadian Engineering Standards Committee with Sir John Kennedy acting as chairman. In 1919, he was appointed Secretary of the Canadian Engineering Standards Association and in 1925 was appointed Secretary of the Engineering Institute of Canada until his retirement in 1938. Durley was also editor of the Engineering Institute of Canada's Engineering Journal between 1925 and 1938.

Early life
Durley was born in Bierton in Buckinghamshire, the son of Richard and Elizabeth Durley. His father, the descendant of a long line of yeoman farmers, died when Durley was an infant and his mother became a schoolteacher to raise the family. He was educated at Bedford Modern School, then at University College, Bristol, and University College London.

Career
Durley trained at Earle's Shipbuilding and Engineering Company Limited in Hull.  In 1893, he was awarded a Whitworth scholarship and in 1894 became chief lecturer in engineering at the Municipal Technical College in Hull.

Durley emigrated to Canada in 1896 where he later became Professor of Mechanical Engineering at McGill University in Montreal between 1901 and 1912.  In 1903 he wrote a widely used text book Kinematics of Machines. He was made a member of the Institution of Civil Engineers in 1905.

During World War I Durley was Officer-in-Charge of Gauges and Standards in the Canadian Ministry of Munitions Department of Inspection. In 1918 he was awarded an MBE for his wartime services in Canada.

After the war, Durley became Secretary of the Canadian Engineering Standards Association and in 1925 took the same position at the Engineering Institute of Canada until his retirement in 1938. He was editor of the Engineering Institute of Canada's Engineering Journal between 1925 and 1938.

In addition to the Institution of Civil Engineers, Durley was a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and in 1941 received the Engineering Institute of Canada's Julian C. Smith Medal.

Family life
Durley was a regular contributor to engineering journals. He was a member of the University Club of Montreal and the Rideau Club in Ottawa; his entry in Who's Who in 1926 lists his interests as sailing, shooting and fishing. He married Elizabeth Schwill of New York; they had a daughter and a son, Thomas Richard, who also became an engineer.

Durley died in Montreal, Canada on 13 August 1948.

title: Vaná

text:
Vanailson Luciano de Souza Alves (born 25 April 1991), commonly known as Vaná, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as goalkeeper for Cypriot First Division club Aris Limassol.

After starting his professional career at Coritiba, he spent several years in Portugal with Feirense, Porto and Famalicão. He made 52 Primeira Liga appearances and played a small role in Porto's league title in 2017–18.

Career

Brazil
Born in Planaltina, Distrito Federal, Vaná was brought to Clube Atlético Paranaense in 2006. On his release in 2010, a former coach took him to Coritiba Foot Ball Club, where he was promoted to the first team in 2012.

Vaná was loaned to Canoas Sport Club in Rio Grande do Sul for the 2012 Campeonato Gaúcho and later that year joined Associação Chapecoense de Futebol on the same basis, being recalled to Coritiba due to their injury situation. He became known as "Vaneuer", a reference to German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

In the final of the 2015 Campeonato Paranaense, Vaná was blamed by the fans for both goals in a 2–0 first leg loss at Operário Ferroviário Esporte Clube, losing his place to Bruno Brigido thereafter. For 2016, he moved to ABC Futebol Clube in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, where he won the Campeonato Potiguar and played a part in their promotion to the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B.

Feirense / Porto
Vaná moved to Portugal in 2016, signing for newly promoted Primeira Liga club C.D. Feirense. His performances in his only season at the Santa Maria da Feira-based club drew interest from S.L. Benfica, S.C. Braga – who bid €800,000 for him – and FC Porto, and he signed a four-year deal with the latter on 15 July 2017. He was back-up to Iker Casillas and made his debut on 12 May 2018 in the final game of the season away to Vitória S.C. with the title already secured (1–0 victory).

A year later, after the Spaniard suffered a heart attack, Vaná played the final three matches of the season, winning all of them as the title went to S.L. Benfica on the last day. He also played the 2019 Taça de Portugal Final on 25 May, a penalty shootout defeat to Sporting CP.

Famalicão
After the signing of Argentine Agustín Marchesín and promotion of youth player Diogo Costa, Vaná fell to third-choice goalkeeper at Porto and on 31 August 2019 he was loaned to fellow Primeira Liga team F.C. Famalicão for the season. Second choice to experienced compatriot Rafael Defendi, he made his debut on 30 October in a 2–1 home win over Gil Vicente FC. He played 23 total games for the club from Vila Nova de Famalicão, who fell short of a European place after a good start to the season.

On 2 October 2020, Vaná returned to Famalicão on a permanent transfer. He battled for a starting place against Russian Ivan Zlobin, and after a period of self-isolation due to COVID-19, the teenager Luiz Júnior.

Aris Limassol
Vaná left Portugal on 1 July 2021, when he joined newly promoted Cypriot First Division club Aris Limassol. He helped Aris finish 4th in the 2021–22 Cypriot First Division, and qualify for European football for the first time in the club's history. The following season, he helped them win the league for the first time ever, and was voted as the best goalkeeper of the league season. He also received the Best Save and Golden Gloves awards.

title: Hong Jin-ki

text:
Hong Jin-Ki (Hangul: 홍진기, Hanja: 洪璡基, Japanese name: 德山 進一, Tokuyama Shin'ichi; 13 March 1917 – 13 July 1986) was an entrepreneurial journalist and South Korean high-ranking official of the Syngman Rhee government who served as the 9th Ministry of Justice from 1958 to 1960.

Life
Hong Jin-Ki was born in Seoul. He attended the Keijō Imperial University 京城帝国大学 Keijō Teikoku Daigaku, where he received a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) in 1940. And soon afterwards Hong Jin-ki passed the judicial examination under the colonial administration of imperial Japan. Immediately on completing his probationary judicial officer, he was appointed to a judge of the Jeonju District Court in 1943.

After liberation
After Korea was liberated from Japan on 15 August 1945, the Special Committee for Prosecution of Anti-National Offenders (banmin teukwi, 반민특위) had been established to purge and prosecute the pro-Japanese who worked for the Japanese colonial government. However, all efforts were hampered and dissolved by Dr. Syngman Rhee, the first president of South Korea, who had to depend on the pro-Japanese to establish his regime.
As a result of Dr. Rhee's political schemes, many pro-Japanese as well as Hong Jin-Ki could cut their ways of what they have done during the Japanese rule, resulting in the empowerment and reinstatement of the pro-Japanese officials, armies and police.

First Republic of South Korea and April Revolution
After joining Syngman Rhee Government, Hong Jin-ki served as the Justice Deputy Minister in 1954, and then the Minister of Justice in 1958, and became the Home Office Minister in 1960.
A growing civil uprising against the rigged election in March 1960 ended up developing into the April Revolution, and Syngman Rhee went out of his office on 26 April 1960; Rhee was pressured by the United States Government into an immediate resignation. On 15 June 1960, the Second Republic, led by Yoon Bo-seon (the 4th President of South President) and Chang Myon (the 2nd Prime Minister of South Korea), was established by the new constitution. Upon the inauguration of the new government, it was shown that there were many problems with economic climate.  Eventually, the powerless and incompetent Second Republic was ended by a military government under the Supreme Council for National Reconstruction. At the instigation of the military junta, the Revolution Tribunals were established for punishing political offenders, political henchmen, illicit fortune amassers and high-ranking officials relating to armed crackdown during April Revolution.

Revolution trial
Along with the Presidential Security Chief Gwak Young-joo (곽영주), the Commissioner of Seoul Metropolitan Agency Ryu Choong-ryul (류충렬), and Chief of Seoul Security Division Baek Nam-kyu (백남규), Hong Jin-Ki was indicted on charges that he ordered security forces and police to shoot unarmed protesters during the uprising on 19 April 1960. Moreover, the military government indicted Hong Jin-Ki on another charge of commanding his subordinates to rig the 4th presidential election. He was sentenced to death, but his sentence was commuted to life in prison. In the years after the Revolution Tribunal, he was released from prison on a special amnesty, because it had proved Hong Jin-Ki did not order to shoot.

Becoming the media tycoon
In 1968, he was appointed to chief executive officer of Joongang Broadcasting Station. He was named Joongang Ilbo's president in 1968 and became chairman in 1980. He played a crucial role in developing Joongang Ilbo as one of the country's three main newspapers from the 1980s until his death in 1984. His eldest son, Hong Suk-yeon, is the current head of the Joongang Ilbo.
On 29 August 2005, the Institute for Research in Collaborationist Activities issued a list of 3,094 pro-Japanese collaborators including Park Jung-Hee, the former Korean President, Bang Eun-Mo, a former president of Chosun Ilbo, Kim Song Su, a former publisher of Dong-a Ilbo, and Hong Jin-Ki.

Family
Hong's family got into matrimonial relation with prominent personages in politics and businesses, such as Lee Byung-chul, the founder of Samsung Group and Noh Shin-yeong, the 16th Prime Minister.

title: Andrew Moloney

text:
Andrew Moloney is an Australian professional boxer who held the WBA (Regular) super-flyweight title in 2020, having previously held the interim title since 2019. At regional level he held the WBA Oceania bantamweight title from 2016 to 2017 and the Commonwealth super-flyweight title in 2017. As an amateur, he won a gold medal at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in the flyweight division. As of June 2020, he is ranked as the world’s seventh best active super-flyweight by The Ring magazine, eighth by the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board and ninth by BoxRec.

Amateur career
Moloney represented Australia at two Commonwealth Games in 2010 and 2014.

Moloney also competed in the 2009 World Amateur Boxing Championships, the 2011 World Amateur Boxing Championships, and the 2013 AIBA World Boxing Championships.

In his amateur career, Moloney has won 7 state and 7 national titles.

2014 Commonwealth Games
Moloney qualified for the 2014 Commonwealth Games after claiming the Australian national amateur flyweight title.

He progressed through the preliminary bouts with a unanimous 3-0 win over Waisu Taiwo (Nigeria), before facing Northern Ireland's Ruairi Dalton in the quarterfinal stage, where he again progressed with a 3-0 decision.

Moloney then faced the hometown favourite Reece McFadden of Scotland, where Moloney adopted a patient gameplan to upset the Scot 2-1 on the judge's scorecards to progress through to the final.

The gold medal bout, staged at the SEC Armadillo, was contested with Pakistan's Muhammad Waseem. Moloney scored a unanimous 3-0 decision to claim the gold medal.

Professional career
Following his success at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, Moloney turned professional in October 2014. In 2018, Moloney fought former titlist Luis Concepción, who was ranked #5 by the WBA and #15 WBC at the time, and beat him via tenth-round stoppage.

On 16 May 2019, legendary boxing promoter Bob Arum announced that Top Rank had signed both Andrew and his twin brother Jason as a part of their stable.

On 15 November 2019, Moloney, ranked #1 by the WBA at the time, challenged WBA #5 Elton Dharry for the vacant WBA interim super-flyweight title and came out victorious via eighth-round TKO. After Román González won his fight against Kal Yafai, originally set for the WBA (Regular) super-flyweight title, González was subsequently elevated to WBA (Super) champion, which left the space for Moloney to be elevated to the new WBA (Regular) super-flyweight champion.

Personal life
Andrew is a twin brother to Jason Moloney, who is also a professional boxer.
