Hillsborough memorial at Anfield

Since 1985, Liverpool Football Club has seen the appointment of Kenny Dalglish as manager, the Hillsborough disaster, and the club's return to European competition. Liverpool won a Premier League and FA Cup double in Dalglish's first season, and won further league titles in 1987–88 and 1989–90. A crush of people at Hillsborough Stadium in April 1989 resulted in 96 deaths (memorial pictured) and led to the end of standing terraces. In 2001, Liverpool won a unique treble of trophies, and a year later finished second to Arsenal, their highest league finish in 11 years. Liverpool won the UEFA Champions League for the fifth time in Rafael Benítez's debut season in 2005, and he guided the club to another FA Cup victory in 2006. Since 2015, Jürgen Klopp has led Liverpool to consecutive Champions League finals; the 2019 win sealed a sixth Champions League title and ended a seven-year trophy drought, followed by a win in the 2019 UEFA Super Cup.

The Manufacturers Trust Company Building is a commercial building in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Opened in 1954, it was the first bank building in the United States to be built in the International Style. It was commissioned by the Manufacturers Trust Company and designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM). The façade is made largely of glass panes and aluminum mullions, while the first story includes a bank vault door visible from the street. After its opening, it became one of Manufacturers Trust's busiest branches and a tourist attraction. Manufacturers Trust's successor, Chase Bank, sold the building in 2000 but remained there until 2010. SOM renovated the building in 2012, converting it into a commercial structure, and Reuben Brothers acquired the property in 2023. The building was praised for its exterior design, ceilings, and visible vault door. The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission has designated the exterior and interior as official landmarks.

Coffea arabica, from which Maraba coffee is made

Maraba coffee is grown in Maraba, an area of southern Rwanda. Maraba's coffee plants are the Bourbon variety of Coffea arabica (plant pictured), grown on volcanic soils on high-altitude hills. About 500,000 smallholder farmers grow the coffee plants under the cooperative Abahuzamugambi, founded in 1999; the cooperative has been supported by the National University of Rwanda and the Partnership for Enhancing Agriculture in Rwanda through Linkages. The fruit is handpicked, mostly during the rainy season between March and May, and brought to a washing station in Maraba, where the coffee beans are extracted and dried. At several stages, the beans are sorted according to quality. The beans are sold to various roasting companies, including Union Coffee Roasters of the United Kingdom, who produce a Fairtrade-certified brand, and Community Coffee of the United States. Rwanda Smallholder Specialty Coffee Company buys from Maraba and sells to the domestic market. Maraba coffee is also brewed into a beer. (Full article...)
