"The Chagrin Falls waterfalls are waterfalls spouting off of the Chagrin River in the center of the village of Chagrin Falls, Ohio. At the waterfall base, a viewing area is available. The falls were one of the largest industrial centers in the 1800s and are responsible for the growth of the village around them. History The Chagrin Falls originally got their name from a French trader named Francois Seguin, who traded with Native Americans in the early 1700s. The river later adopted the name "Chagrin". At one point the Chagrin Falls was the industrial center of Northeast Ohio and powered 9 different mills at their peak. The first settlers arrived in 1833 and they had previously been from New England. With the profits they made from their mill work on the falls, they began to build their homes around the river and created the now current day Chagrin Falls village. Geography The Chagrin river flows through the center of Chagrin Falls Village. The falls have a drop of 20 feet and a crest line of 60 feet. The water at the bottom of the falls ranges from 2–15 feet. Wildlife The waterfalls and their surrounding are provided habitats for multiple types of Northeastern Ohio's native animals. Some of these animals include salamanders, squirrels, groundhogs, coyote, and other small animals. There is also a large fish population due to the location of the river. Some of the species include Western Blacknose Dace, Creek Chub, Bluegill Sunfish, Largemouth Bass, Yellow Bullhead.“Exporting PDF Content.” Adobe® Acrobat® X PDF Bible, 2011, pp. 253–266., doi:10.1002/9781118255728.ch10.

"Nikolai Vasilievich Chigirinsky (born July 17, 1983 in Pervouralsk, RSFSR) known as the "Pervouralsk Ripper" is a Russian serial killer. Biography Chigirinsky was born on July 17, 1983 in the city of Pervouralsk in the family of a plant security guard and a butcher. While still in school, he began to steal, and was detained while attempting to steal from the city's food store, for which he was registered in the Inspectorate for Juvenile Affairs of the Internal Affairs Directorate. By that time Chigirinsky had already been registered with a psychiatrist, and according to some reports, he had a birth trauma associated with the nervous system. He graduated from the 9th grade of school, with a specialty of a mechanic in the area of repairing metallurgical equipment. For 1.5 years he worked in the Pervouralsk New Pipe Plant, but was forced to move to another place because of staff reduction. He also had to move back in with his parents because of his low salary. The first murder Chigirinsky committed was on July 3, 2005. That day, leading a girl named Anya into the forest, he first strangled then raped her. He then burned her clothes, and buried the corpse, despite the fact that the murder occurred a few meters away from a pedestrian walkway through which the holiday residents constantly went through. The very next day an application for the girl's disappearance was filed by relatives to the law enforcement agencies. The murder remained unsolved. In 2006, Chigirinsky returned to the crime scene, dug up the corpse and tore off the head. The body was found only after the killer was arrested. On September 19, 2008, Chigirinsky committed another murder. The corpse was found 15 meters from the railroad tracks of Yekaterinburg-Shalya road and 50 meters from Stepan Razin Street. The victim had been raped and strangled, with her belly ripped open with a knife and her clothes burned. On May 28, 2009, Chigirinsky committed the last murder. The same day the corpse was found in the basement by the deceased's parents, who saw Chigirinsky leaving the cellar. He was quickly arrested, and the last victim's mobile phone was found in his possession. The court sentenced Chigirinsky to life imprisonment, and the Supreme Court of Russia upheld the verdict without change. He is currently serving his sentence in the Black Eagle prison.

"Aberdeen Trades Union Council (ATUC) is the body made up of affiliated trade union branches and organisations working in the Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire area to promote the interests of workers in the region. The ATUC provides services to affiliated branches on a wide range of industrial, social and community issues and is affiliated to the STUC. It has an office based in Aberdeen, Scotland. History Trade unionists in Aberdeen first formed a committee in 1846, in order to support joiners who were on strike. This committee lasted for three years, and no further organisation was established until 1868, when stonemasons in the town held a ten-week strike. John Jessiman of the Associated Carpenters and Joiners of Scotland founded the Aberdeen United Trades Council, with the aim of establishing a conciliation board to resolve future disputes. This was not achieved, but the council endured. Originally, thirteen trade union branches affiliated, but by 1873 it had more than fifty delegates. Even by the 1880s, the council represented only 2,000 workers, but its ability to support unions on strike, campaign for shorter working hours and the municipalisation of utilities, gave it prominent role in the city. Socialists increasingly took leading roles on the council, focusing on organising unskilled workers, and setting up a union of women workers and the Scottish Farm Servants' Union. In 1890, it finally achieved its aim of establishing a conciliation board but, since its rulings were not binding, it achieved little, considering only nine cases by 1906. The council first began electoral activity by opposing the re-election of Lord Provost of Aberdeen George Jamieson. By 1879, it was backing favoured candidates in the School Board election, and it first supported independent labour candidates in the 1885 local elections, with James Forbes and George Maconnachie elected. In 1891, it was a founding affiliate of the Scottish United Trades Councils Labour Party, and sponsored Henry Hyde Champion in Aberdeen South at the 1892 UK general election, although he could only take third place in the poll. At the 1895 UK general election, there was another independent labour candidate, John Lincoln Mahon, but the council eventually decided not to back his candidacy. The council also engaged with the broader trade union movement. It hosted the Trades Union Congress in Aberdeen in 1884, and in 1895 it hosted a meeting of Scottish trade unions and trades councils which led to the formation of the Scottish Trades Union Congress (STUC), in 1897. In 1973, it became the leading organisation in the new Grampian Federation of Trades Councils. Early in its history, the council met at the Queens Rooms on Union Street, but in 1892 it purchased its own headquarters on Belmont Street, and four years later opened a purpose-built trades hall, with murals by Douglas Strachan. It relocated to a former warehouse in 1956, then to its social club, and now once more meets at hired rooms. The trades council continued to grow until 1920, when it reached a peak affiliated membership of 16,684. That year, it formed a council of action to oppose British intervention in the Polish- Soviet War. It co-ordinated local activity during the 1926 UK general strike, then during the 1930s focused on organising workers who were not trade union members. From 1918, the council was known as the Aberdeen Trades and Labour Council, and incorporated the local Labour Party. This arrangement ended in 1935, and it broke all links with the party in 1937 in order to take part in the Communist Party of Great Britain's National Unemployed Workers' Movement and United Front Against Fascism. While a merger with the NUWM was proposed, this did not occur, and the council soon returned to the Labour Party. The council remained prominent in the STUC as the Aberdeen Trades Council and began growing again, membership reaching a new peak of 26,000 in 1980. Since then, its membership has declined in line with the Scottish trade union movement. In 2003, it was officially renamed as the Aberdeen Trades Union Council.
