Gazette noun/verb (MW)
You are probably familiar the word gazette from its use in the names of a number of newspapers, but the original Gazettes were a series of bulletins published in England in the 17th and early 18th centuries. These official journals contained notices of government appointments and promotions, as well as items like bankruptcies, property transfers, and engagements. In British English, "gazette" can also refer to the kind of announcement that one might find in such a publication. It can also be used as a verb meaning "to announce or publish in a gazette." The word derives via French from Italian gazetta. A related word is "gazetteer," which we now use for a dictionary of place names, but which once meant "journalist" or "publicist."

SPOIL ALERT
Animal criminal
So many witnesses and so many scenes which made me think that the murderer may be one of the neighbors and the motive maybe some old daily conflict, but it turned out that the murderer is an angry orange-outang/orangutan. It is hard for me to imagine an orangutan killing with a razor. It is not hard to picture the scene, but I tend to believe that animals are not as rampage as this orangutan. However, rationally I know something like this may really have happened in this world. I still hope human could get along with animals and nature.
