Northumbria (; Old English: Norþanhymbra Rīċe; Latin: Regnum Northanhymbrorum) was an early medieval Anglo-Saxon kingdom in what is now Northern England and south-east Scotland. The name derives from the Old English Norþan-hymbre meaning "the people or province north of the Humber", as opposed to the people south of the Humber Estuary. Northumbria started to consolidate into one kingdom in the early seventh century, when the two earlier core territories of Deira and Bernicia entered into a dynastic union. At its height, the kingdom extended from the Humber, Peak District and the River Mersey on the south to the Firth of Forth (now in Scotland) on the north. Northumbria ceased to be an independent kingdom in the mid-tenth century when Deira was conquered by the Danes and formed into the Kingdom of York. The rump Earldom of Bamburgh maintained control of Bernicia for a period of time, however, the area north of the Tweed was eventually absorbed into the medieval Kingdom of Scotland while the portion south of the Tweed was absorbed into the Kingdom of England and formed into the county of Northumberland and County Palatine of Durham.

The Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress is an award presented annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS). It is given to honor an actress who has delivered an outstanding performance in a supporting role while working within the film industry. The award is traditionally presented by the previous year's Best Supporting Actor winner. At the 9th Academy Awards ceremony held in 1937, Gale Sondergaard was the first winner of this award for her role in Anthony Adverse. Initially, winners in both supporting acting categories were awarded plaques instead of statuettes. Beginning with the 16th ceremony held in 1944, winners received full-sized statuettes. Currently, nominees are determined by single transferable vote within the actors branch of AMPAS; winners are selected by a plurality vote from the entire eligible voting members of the Academy. Since its inception, the award has been given to 83 actresses. Dianne Wiest and Shelley Winters have received the most awards in this category with two awards each. Despite winning no awards, Thelma Ritter was nominated on six occasions, more than any other actress. As of the 2021 ceremony, Yuh-jung Youn is the most recent winner in this category for her role as Soon-ja in Minari. Youn became the first Korean actor, and second Asian woman to win an acting Oscar.

Nigeria has 774 local government areas (LGAs), each being administered by a local government council consisting of a Chairman, who is the chief executive, and other elected members referred to as Councillors. Each LGA is further subdivided into a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 20 Wards such as,Maimagarya,Maifaru,Gwajo-gwajoMaiturmiMaigariyarima jatau,Zanguna,tofakai,Danyashi,Garin tsamiya,Kongolam, etc Edited by Abdulmajeed Mu'azu Jøgèèñ Maimagarya Etc. A Ward is administered by a Councillor who reports directly to the LGA Chairman. The Councillors fall under the legislative arm of the local government. Local governments are the third tier of government in Nigeria below the state governments and the federal government.

There have been two baronetcies granted to the Willises of Fen Ditton, both in the Baronetage of England. The Willis (also Willys) Baronetcy, of Fen Ditton in Cambridgeshire, was first created in the Baronetage of England on 15 December 1641 for Thomas Willis (the surname often alternatively given as "Willys"), son and heir of Inner Temple barrister and landowner Richard Willys, of Fen Ditton and Horningsey, Cambridgeshire, by Jane, daughter and heir of William Henmarsh, of Ball's Park, in Ware, Hertfordshire. Richard's brother, Thomas, was Clerk of the Crown in Chancery. Sir Richard Willis (knighted in 1642), the younger brother of Thomas, with the same parentage, was also created Baronet of Fen Ditton (on 11 June 1646). Sir Richard who fought as an officer in the Royalist army during the English Civil War, also worked as a double-agent for Oliver Cromwell during the Interregnum and was banned from court following the Restoration, retiring to his estate having married a rich wife. Sir Richard's son Sir Thomas Fox Willis died in 1701 without issue, having been born, according to the medical notes made by his grandfather, the physician Thomas Foxe, 'bereft of his wits'; this baronetcy therefore became extinct. The baronetcy granted to Thomas Willys passed to his son John Willys (2nd Baronet), then to his grandson Thomas Willys (3rd Baronet), but his great-grandson, also Thomas Willys (4th Baronet), died without issue in 1725; the baronetcy passed to another Thomas Willys, the 4th Baronet's first cousin once removed (the son of Sir John Willys, 2nd Baronet's younger brother, William, a London merchant). On Thomas's death in 1726 his younger brother William inherited the title, but died childless in 1732, predeceased by the only remaining heir, his first cousin, John Willys (vide infra), making the baronetcy extinct. The extinction of the 1641 creation was explored by Arthur J. Willis, in 'Genealogy for Beginners'. When researching his (it came to be shown) unrelated Willis ancestors, he visited the College of Arms regarding a potential link to the baronetical Willyses, and observed: 'I was told that the male line of the grandsons had died out, though there was a suggestion that the last member of the family, John, had refused the baronetcy because he was in trade and had gone North'. Looking at the Willis family pedigree in Burke's 'Extinct and Dormant Baronetcies' (1844), he concluded: 'This was interesting but curiously silent about the John, grandson of the first baronet, not giving as one would expect the record of his death, only saying that his father Robert died in 1692 "leaving an only child John"... it may be taken as fairly certain that full investigation was made at the time the baronetcy lapsed, but the vagueness did lend some colour to the story related by the College of Arms.' The Victoria County History of the County of Cambridge, however, in giving an account of the ownership of the rectory estate at Histon, Cambridgeshire, notes that on Robert Willys's death in 1692, it was held by his wife, before passing to his son John, who had died, unmarried, by 1729, predeceasing Sir William Willys, 6th Baronet, to whom John devised the rectory estate and 60 acres of copyhold land. John Willys, having predeceased Sir William, could not have been his successor, explaining the baronetcy's extinction. John Walpole Willis and his descendants (some of whom became Willis-Bund, e.g. John William Willis-Bund) descended from the Cambridgeshire Willys family through his grandfather Joseph Willis of Wakefield, Yorkshire. The anatomist, neurologist and psychologist Thomas Willis was a kinsman of this line; his father, Thomas, the son of another Thomas Willis (of Kennington, Oxfordshire, Berkshire prior to the 1974 boundary changes) was the steward of Great Bedwyn, Wiltshire and owned a farm there ( ; ). The 6th Baronet served as M.P. for Great Bedwyn from 1727–1732. Burke's 'A Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Commoners of Great Britain and Ireland, 1834' details the relationship between the Willys baronets and the Willis Fleming family of North Stoneham Park that descended from Thomas Willis thus: 'The family of Willis claims descent from the eminent and ennobled family of Welles. Browne Willis, M.P., the celebrated antiquarian, was one of its members, and his descendants have assumed of late years the surname Fleming, for estates left to them in Hampshire, where they are now resident. In the reign of Charles II, Thomas Willis, of the Berkshire family of that name, and to which family a baronetcy was granted by King Charles I, settled in Lancashire and purchased estates in that county, which, together with others, are now in possession of Richard Willis, esq. of Halsnead Park.'. Browne Willis was the anatomist Thomas Willis's grandson. The Richard Willis in question was, like Thomas Willis, a descendant of John Willis of Harborough, Leicestershire, and so came to inherit the estates there.

Hurricane Henri ( ahn-REE) was a Category 1 hurricane which became the first tropical cyclone to make landfall in the U.S. state of Rhode Island since Bob in 1991. The eighth named storm, and the third hurricane of the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season, Henri originated from a well-defined low-pressure system north-northeast of Bermuda on August 16 as a tropical depression. Nearly a day later, the system strengthened into Tropical Storm Henri. Henri continued to slowly move south, and later southwest. Henri continued to steadily strengthen, reaching its initial peak intensity with winds of 70 mph (110 km/h) and a pressure of 994 mbar (29.4 inHg) early on August 19. Soon after, strong wind shear weakened Henri slightly. Eventually, Henri strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane, before weakening back to a tropical storm and making a rare landfall in Westerly, Rhode Island, on August 22. It proceeded to move west-northwestward, weakening down to a tropical depression while greatly slowing down later that day. On August 23, Henri degenerated into a remnant low. Despite its weak intensity, the storm brought very heavy rainfall over the Northeastern United States and New England, causing widespread flooding in many areas, including cities such as New York City and Boston. Power outages quickly became extensive in the region. Wind damage was sparse in comparison. In the aftermath of Henri, many crews were put in place from around the United States to help with recovery efforts and rescues. The storm caused less damage overall than initially feared, due to a weaker landfall and faster weakening trend compared to what was previously forecasted. Henri continued to drop large amounts of rain as it weakened over land, prolonging floods and power outages. 2 deaths have been attributed to the storm.
