‘Daniel Sampson was innocent’: leading lawyers and law organizations in Canada call for executed man to be exonerated

'Daniel Sampson was innocent': leading lawyers and law organizations in Canada call for executed man to be exonerated - Halifax Examiner

My investigation of the Sampson case lays out the incontrovertible truth that Sampson was an innocent man framed by the RCMP, and then murdered by the state.

#JamesBarryDiary 7/10/1875 Dark and threatening rain, but unfortunately there is no none to do [sic] any good. Awful busy in the mill and kiln. Can only do half a day's work or so. Annabella went up to the damned Rogers Hill – Hell. Amen.

#JamesBarryDiary 8/10/1875 Rain heavy last night towards the morning. Double water this morning. I ground a pile today and ride a lot also. It was a little sunny, betimes close and warm. All pretty well. God be praised. Amen.

Compound Interest | Chemistry infographics @compoundchem.com · 4d

We're firmly into autumn in the Northern Hemisphere, so it's once again time to share one of my favourite chemistry infographics on the kaleidoscope of chemical colours found in autumn leaves! 🍂

#ChemSky 🧪

Infographic on the chemistry of the colours of autumn leaves. Green is caused by chlorophyll, carotenoids and flavonoids give yellows, and oranges come from carotenoids, which also contribute to reds along with anthocyanins.
