Michael Brune
|
Michael Brune (born 24 August 1971) became the youngest executive director of the Sierra Club at age 38. The board of directors hired him in January 2010, after Carl Pope stepped down.
Michael Brune graduated from West Chester University in 1993 with B.S. degrees in both Economics and Finance.
Prior to the Sierra Club, Brune was the executive director of the Rainforest Action Network for seven years. He also worked as an organizer for Greenpeace.
In 1999, while working at the Rainforest Action Network, Brune ran a successful campaign to get Home Depot stores to stop purchasing and selling wood from old-growth forests. Time magazine listed this as its top environmental story of that year.
Brune is a regular contributor to the Huffington Post, a progressive website founded by Arianna Huffington, as well as Daily Kos.
In 2008 he published a book called Coming Clean -- Breaking America's Addiction to Oil and Coal.
In 2014 Brune was confirmed as the Hillary Institute of International Leadership's Hillary Laureate in recognition of his work on climate change issues. He was then awarded, jointly with Amazon Watch's Atossa Soltani, the four yearly Hillary Step prize.
In August 2021 the Sierra Club announced that Brune was resigning as executive director, effective as of the end of the year. Following an essay by Brune condemning Sierra Club founder John Muir as a racist, many long-time members strongly questioned his version of history, resigned from the Sierra Club and removed the organization from their estate plans. Similarly, assertions made by Brune during his tenure at the Rainforest Action Network and Sierra Club were eventually addressed and overturned in U.S. federal court in a case labeled as the "legal fraud of the century" by the Wall Street Journal.

Robert Willoughby, 1st Baron Willoughby de Broke, de jure 9th Baron Latimer (c. 1452 – 23 August 1502), KG, of Brook, near Westbury, Wiltshire, was one of the chief commanders of the royal forces of King Henry VII against the Cornish rebellion of 1497. of Hooke, Dorset, and of Southwick, North Bradley, Wiltshire, and an aunt of Humphrey Stafford, 1st Earl of Devon (d. 1469). The de Cheney (also known as Chesney or Cheyne) family holds a significant place in the history of the Channel Islands. They emerged as prominent figures in governance and were among the most substantial landowners after the Crown. Edmund de Cheney served as the governor of both Guernsey and Jersey in 1360. Prior to that, Nicholas de Cheney had been appointed as the Warden of the Islands in 1297. The de Cheney family also owned extensive lands in Guernsey, including the Fief of Anneville, recognized in Guernsey tradition as the oldest fief. Through the seigneury of this fief, the de Cheney family held feudal rights over more than a quarter of the island and were de jure members of the Royal Court of Chief Pleas, the then governing body of the island. The fief of Anneville had been purchased by Guillaume de Chesney in 1248. Robert Willoughby inherited it in right of his mother. Sir Edmund was the son and heir of William Cheyne (c.1374–1420) by his wife Cecily Strecche (d.1443); William was the son of Sir Ralph Cheyne (c.1337–1400) of Poyntington in Somerset, and of Brook (three times Member of Parliament for Wiltshire, Deputy Justiciar of Ireland, Lord Chancellor of Ireland, and Deputy Warden of the Cinque Ports) by his wife Joan Pavely, daughter and co-heiress of Sir John Pavely of Brook.
Career
He was High Sheriff of Cornwall in 1479 and High Sheriff of Devon in 1480. He was Lord of the Manor of Callington and steward of the Duchy of Cornwall. He died at the manor house of Callington, for he directed in his will that he should be buried in the church of the parish he died in.
Marriage and children
He married in 1472 Blanche Champernowne, daughter and heiress of John Champernowne of Bere Ferrers, Devon, by Elizabeth Bigbury. John was the son of Alexander Champernowne of Modbury and Joan Ferrers, da. of Martyn Ferrers of Bere Ferrers. He thus acquired the manors of Callington, Cornwall and Bere Ferrers, amongst others.
He had four children with Blanche:
Robert Willoughby, 2nd Baron Willoughby de Broke (d. 1521). Predeceased by his son and heir Edward, whereupon the title became abeyant in 1521 between Edward's three daughters and was terminated around 1535, when daughter Elizabeth became sole heiress. Buried at Bere Ferrers.
Elizabeth, who married firstly John Dynham, 1st Baron Dynham, and secondly William FitzAlan, 18th Earl of Arundel.

Mark Wrathall

thumb|Mark Wrathall, photo by Tao Ruspoli
Mark Wrathall (born February 1, 1965) is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Oxford and a fellow and tutor at Corpus Christi College, Oxford. He is considered a leading interpreter of the philosophy of Martin Heidegger. Wrathall is featured in Tao Ruspoli's film Being in the World. According to a reviewer, "Wrathall's writing is clear and comprehensive, ranging across virtually all of Heidegger's collected works.... Wrathall's overall interpretation of Heidegger's work is crystal clear, compelling, and relevant."
Early life, education and career
Mark (Adam) Wrathall was born in Provo, Utah in 1965, and was raised in the towns of Greece and Pittsford in upstate New York. He spent his freshman year of high school at The Ridings High School in Winterbourne, England, and graduated from Pittsford Mendon High School in 1983. He received a BA in philosophy at Brigham Young University in 1988. In 1991, he received both a Juris Doctor from Harvard and an MA in philosophy from Boston College. After clerking for Cecil F. Poole at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, he pursued a Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of California at Berkeley, where he was a student of the Heidegger scholar Hubert Dreyfus, graduating in 1996, with a disseration on “Unconcealment and Truth”.
From 1994 to 1996 he was a teaching fellow at Stanford Law School. Afterwards, he taught at Brigham Young University from 1996 to 2006 (first in the political science department, then from 1999 in the philosophy department); he then joined the University of California, Riverside, where he served as Associate Professor from 2007 to 2009 and Professor of Philosophy from 2009 to 2017. Since 2017, he has been a Fellow and Tutor in Philosophy at Corpus Christi College.
Philosophical work
Wrathall's main interests include phenomenology, existentialism, the phenomenology of religion, and the philosophy of law, but he is best known for his work on Martin Heidegger.
Wrathall has also contributed to the philosophy of popular culture, editing a book on the philosophical themes found in the music of U2 and publishing essays on film and philosophy. Wrathall's work on popular culture intersects with his interests in religion. He draws on Heidegger, Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche to describe how secularism and technology undermine belief in objective eternal meanings and values. But Wrathall thinks nihilism also "opens up access to richer and more relevant ways for us to understand creation and for us to encounter the divine and the sacred."
Personal life
He is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Severin doctrine
|
The Severin doctrine, established in the 1943 case Severin v. United States, 99 Ct. Cl. 435, is a legal principle in United States federal contract law. It stipulates that a prime contractor cannot sue the federal government to recover damages incurred by a subcontractor unless the prime contractor is liable to the subcontractor for those damages.
Background
In Severin v. United States, the Court of Claims held that for a prime contractor to pursue a “pass-through” claim on behalf of a subcontractor against the government, there must be a direct liability from the prime contractor to the subcontractor for the claimed damages. If the prime contractor has been absolved of liability to the subcontractor through contractual provisions or releases, the government cannot be held responsible for the subcontractor’s damages.
Application
The Severin doctrine is particularly relevant in federal procurement and construction contracts involving multiple tiers of contractors. For a prime contractor to successfully present a subcontractor’s pass-through claim against the government, it must demonstrate either that it has reimbursed the subcontractor for the damages or that it remains liable for such reimbursement. Absent this liability, the claim is barred under the Severin doctrine.
Limitations and interpretations
Courts have generally applied the Severin doctrine narrowly, requiring an “iron-bound release” or a contract provision that completely immunizes the prime contractor from liability to the subcontractor to preclude a pass-through claim. The burden of proof rests on the government to establish that the prime contractor is not liable to the subcontractor.

Local Defence companies (Finland)
|
|type = Infantry
|branch = Finnish Army, Finnish Navy, Finnish Air Force
|specialization = Land (local defence)
|size 5000
|dates= 14 February 2007–present}}
Local Defence companies (know collectively as "Maakuntajoukot"; Local Defence forces-)(; ) are regional forces of Finnish Defence Forces (FDF) composed of volunteer reservists who have signed a contract that obliges them to do certain tasks during a crisis, with wartime strength supplemented by non-volunteer reservists as needed. The FDF works with and supervises the National Defence Training Association of Finland in the training of the troops. Local Defence companies are part of Local Defence battalions which are under command of the military province of their area (sotilaslääni, four in total, divided into 19 military districts, aluetoimisto), in total there are 28 companies. Sometimes the name is rendered as local defence units or volunteer reserve units.
The most important duties for Local Defence companies are protection, guarding, oversight and defence of certain targets and the area of their respective military district in general. In addition, Local Defence companies are tasked to provide assistance upon request to police and/or fire departments and other officials. During war, Local Defence battalions (of which Local Defence companies are part of-) will fall under the direct command of their respective headquarters of their respective Military province just as they are in peacetime. Members of the Local Defence companies have their personal equipment (excluding combat items such as vests, ballistic protection & helmets and weapons) at home on loan from the FDF, allowing quick mobilisation of troops in case of crisis since they only need to add combat equipment, vehicles, signalling equipment and supplies to be completely ready. These will be provided by garrisons and/or other military installations within or at least near to the military district the company in question is located in. Companies are always composed of reservists from area of certain military district within the military province in question, providing an advantage of knowing the area of operations. Troops are trained regularly and their physical abilities are tested annually with conditions of suitability for troops set higher than basic expectations for professional soldiers of FDF.
Creation
In 1990, Finland declared the military restrictions of the Paris Peace Treaties, 1947 obsolete, which among other things had forbidden the military training outside of the FDF. In 1993, the National Defence Training Association of Finland was founded to guide and organize voluntary defence training; the legal basis was established in 1994. In 2001, it was decided to develop voluntary defence training. In 2002, a ministry-level working group was created to study the matter. The group released its report in 2004, calling for the creation of what would become Local Defence companies. On 14 February 2007, the Finnish parliament passed the Act on Defence Forces 551/2007 which allowed the creation of the Local Defence companies; President Tarja Halonen signed the law on 11 May.
Critics
During the Local Defence forces' formation, left-wing political parties and other political groups criticized the Local Defence companies for being too close to the White Guard, abolished after World War II, while some civilian organizations such as the Finnish Red Cross said that Local Defence companies shouldn't take part in operations that fall under their area of expertise, such as peacetime volunteer rescue service.

Prowl is a 2010 American horror film directed by Patrik Syversen and written by Tim Tori and starring Courtney Hope, Ruta Gedmintas and Bruce Payne.
Synopsis
Amber is a young woman who works at a butchery and dreams of escaping her small town existence and her alcoholic, widowed mother. Lately, meat and blood have started to upset her and her sleep is plagued by unsettling dreams in which she's either confronted by bloodthirsty creatures, or she runs at breakneck speed, something she excels at in everyday life, too. After learning she's been adopted, Amber decides to leave her old life behind and move to Chicago, but the owner of the apartment she plans to rent requires an advance deposit to be delivered before the following day at noon. Amber asks her best friend Susie to accompany her, and the road trip is eventually joined by Susie's boyfriend Peter, their friends Fiona and Ray, and Eric, a shy boy who's into Amber and contributes the means of transport for the group. Unfortunately, Eric's truck breaks down along the road. A friendly truck driver named Bernard stops by, and upon hearing he's also going to Chicago, Susie convinces him to give them a ride in the back of his semi, while Eric is selected to ride in the cabin with Bernard.
Amber and her friends become concerned when Bernard refuses to stop and they discover that his cargo consists of hundreds of cartons of blood. Concern turns into panic and terror when Bernard ends up taking them into an abandoned meat-packing plant that is soon revealed to be the training ground for a group of bloodthirsty creatures. Ray, Peter and Fiona are in turn attacked by the creatures, who dismember them. Amber and Susie manage to escape the first assault thanks to an improvised Molotov; while trying to reach a safe area, they stumble upon a wounded Eric, who's been taken from the truck's cabin to be used as bait. Amber tries to rescue Eric but he ends up thrown down a tall metal structure by the creatures, who possess a supernatural ability to run, climb and jump.
Amber and Susie overhear the leader of the creatures, Veronica, talking with her second-in-command and Bernard. Veronica refers to the creatures as her children, and aims to make them learn how to hunt human prey; to this goal, she has coaxed Bernard into helping her find fresh victims, which are usually junkies.
Following another attack, Amber and Susie are separated; Amber manages to pin down and interrogate one of the creatures, a young man who admits he's never hunted before, and tells Amber that Veronica is not their actual mother but she nonetheless takes care of them. In the end, Amber ends up surrounded by dozens of the creatures and by Veronica herself; trying to escape, she suddenly climbs up a wall in the same way the creatures do. Confused and frightened, she's recognized by Veronica as one of them, a "late bloomer" who was abducted by mistake. Veronica welcomes her warmly among her children, gives her some blood from the cargo, then offers her a captured Susie as her first true meal. Amber refuses to kill and eat her friend, and ignites a large gasoline spill, jumping away with Susie in her arms right in time to avoid the catastrophic conflagration.
Veronica orders the survivors to let Amber go, being sure she'll be back once she'll have accepted her true nature. Amber takes Susie to safety, then attacks and devours a homeless man who was going to assault Susie, while the latter watches in terror. After she's finished with her "meal", Amber reassures Susie she's still her friend and they'll be okay.
Cast
Production
After Dark Films began with the shooting of the splatter film in August 2009 in Sofia, Bulgaria. After Dark produced the film in association with Dobré Films and in cooperation with Lionsgate and NBC Universal’s fantasy Channel Syfy.
Release
The film premiered on September 4, 2010 and the theatrical release occurred in January 2011. The DVD was released in April 2011.
Reception
The film has received mixed reviews. Matt Withers, who reviewed the film for JoBlo.com, praised both "the cast, and the character development". He stated that Courtney Hope is a "believable" leading lady and that "Bruce Payne shows up as a trucker in a throwaway role that he makes anything but". Another reviewer stated that "though this was a quick, basic and entertaining piece that could have been a run-of-the-mill movie with different direction, less measurement and passion put into, not to mention it's a simple story that only has a few conventions tweaked around and isn't the most original out there, but the way it carried itself was turned into an effective experience that urges forward". Boston Haverhill stated that the film "is a refreshing, brutal, nasty, enjoyable piece of work". A different reviewer stated that "the movie was good on most levels, but it is just the same old boring storyline that I have seen so many times with nothing to make it stand out". Frank Fulci stated that the director and his team managed to make the "beautiful cast of youngsters work to his advantage" and also managed "to take the overly popular vampire subgenre and shake things up a bit". Fulci commented that "never have we seen a vampire film like this and it still amazes me that this can be said almost 200 years after the first literary appearance of a vampire, in John William Polidori's 1819 novella, The Vampyre. Heather Wixson gave the film three out of five stars and stated that "when the movie picks up the pace during the second and third acts, director Syversen knows how to keep the tension and body count building until the film's deadly climax". R.L. Shaffer gave the film five stars out of ten and stated that while it is "run-of-the-mill is nearly every way, at least Prowl is scary on occasion".

Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is a toxin produced by cyanobacteria. It is the most toxic of the microcystins.
Structure
Microcystins are cyclic heptapeptides. The seven amino acids that are involved in the structure of a microcystin include the unique amino acids ADDA and <small>D</small>-β-methyl-isoaspartate (<small>D</small>-β-Me-isoAsp). Furthermore, microcystins contain two variable residues, which make the differentiation between variants of microcystins. These two variable functionalities are always standard proteinogenic amino acids - In microcystin-LR these are leucine and arginine.
More than 250 microcystins have been identified to date, representing differences in the two variable residues and some modifications in the other amino acids. These modifications include demethylation of Masp and Mdha and methylesterification of <small>D</small>-Glu. Different microcystins have different toxicity profiles, with microcystin-LR found to be the most toxic.BiosynthesisMicrocystins are small nonribosomal peptides. In Microcystis aeruginosa microcystin-LR is synthesized by proteins that encoded by a 55 kb microcystin-gene cluster (mcy) that contains 6 large (over 3 kb) genes that encode proteins with polyketide synthase activity, nonribosomal peptide synthase activity (mcyA-E and G) and 4 smaller genes (mcyF and H-J). These large proteins are made up of different protein domains, coined 'modules', that each have their own specific enzymatic function.
Although the enzyme systems involved in the biosynthesis of microcystins is not identical among all cyanobacteria, there are large similarities and most of the essential enzymes are conserved.
The biosynthesis of microcystin-LR in Microcystis aeruginosa begins with the coupling of phenylacetate to the mcyG enzyme. In a series of reactions, catalysed by different enzyme modules as well as different enzymes, microcystin-LR is formed. The entire biosynthesis pathway of microcystin-LR in Microcystis aeruginosa is illustrated in the figure.
The first steps of the synthesis involve the insertion of several carbon- and oxygen atoms between the acetyl- and phenylgroup. This part of the synthesis is catalyzed by enzyme domains that possess β-ketoacylsynthase, acyltransferase, C-methyltransferase and ketoacyl reductase activity. At the end of this stage, that is, after the first condensation of glutamate, the amino acid Adda is formed.
Mechanism of toxicity
Microcystin-LR inhibits protein phosphatase type 1 and type 2A (PP1 and PP2A) activities in the cytoplasm of liver cells. This leads to an increase in phosphorylation of proteins in liver cells. The interaction of microcystin-LR to the phosphatases includes the formation of a covalent bond between a methylene group of microcystin-LR and a cystine residue at the catalytic subunit of the phosphoprotein phosphatase (PPP) family of serine/threonine-specific phosphatases, like PP1 and PP2A. When microcystin-LR binds directly to the catalytic center of the PPP enzymes, they block the access of the substrate to the active site completely and inhibition of the enzyme takes place. In this way the protein phosphatase is inhibited and more phosphorylated proteins in the liver cells are left, which is responsible for the hepatotoxicity of microcystin-LR.
The active site of catalytic PPP enzymes represents three surface grooves: the hydrophobic groove, the acidic groove and the C-terminal groove, which are Y-shaped with the active site at the bifurcation point. The Adda side-chain of microcystin-LR is accommodated to the hydrophobic groove, the carboxylic D-Glu site makes hydrogen bonds to metal-bound water molecules and the carboxyl group of the Masp site makes hydrogen bonds to conserved arginine and tyrosine residues in the PPP enzyme. Finally the methylene group at the Mdha site of microcystin-LR binds covalently to a S-atom of a cysteine residue, and the leucine residue packs closely to another conserved tyrosine residue. One of the most outstanding reports was an outbreak in Caruaru, Brazil, in 1996. 116 patients experienced multiple effects: visual disturbance, nausea, vomiting and muscle weakness. One hundred developed acute liver failure and 52 suffered from symptoms of what is now called "Caruaru Syndrome." The syndrome was caused by dialysis therapy with water that had not been properly treated.Short-term effectsThere are few short-term effects caused by exposure to microcystin-LR. Microcystins are primarily hepatotoxic compounds; therefore, noticeable toxic effects are not immediate. Most of the toxicity studies have been done with mice that received intra-peritoneal injections. The most common effect is liver damage, Two of the most commonly seen symptoms are gastroenteritis and cholestatic liver disease.
In an experiment with mice, the animals died within a few hours after injection of a lethal dose of micocystin-LR. Liver damage could be noticed in 20 minutes. Within a few hours, liver cells died.
Long-term effects
Acute microcystin-LR intoxication may result in long-term injury, while chronic low-level exposure may cause adverse health effects. From animal studies, it is proven that there will be chronic liver injury from oral exposure to microcystin-LR. It might even be carcinogenic. Cancers have been found during animal studies. Microcystin-LR itself does not cause cancer, but it may stimulate the growth of cancer cells.
Animal effects
Microcystin-LR had effects on all animals, not only the domestic animals from swimming in a river of drinking water with cyanobacteria blooms. Symptoms in domestic animal poisoning include diarrhea, vomiting, weakness, recumbency and are fatal in most cases
Mircocystin-LR is toxic for all animals, including the animals consumed by humans. Fishes and birds are also at risk for microcystin-LR poisoning.
Exposure Routes
Cyanobacteria prefer to live in water bodies such as lake, ponds, reservoirs, and slow-moving streams. When the water is warm there are enough nutrients available for the bacteria to survive. Most cyanobacteria produce toxins, of which microcystin is only one group. When a cyanobacterium dies, its cell wall degrades while the toxins are released in the water. Microcystins are extremely stable in water and withstand chemical breakdown such as hydrolysis or oxidation. The half-life of this toxin is 3 weeks at pH 1 and 40 °C. At typical conditions in the environment, however, the half-life is 10 weeks.
After release in the water, microcystins are actively absorbed by fish and birds from intoxicated water and thus enter the food chain. Humans are also exposed to microcystins by performing activities in intoxicated water. Disposition and metabolismDispositionMicrocystin-LR is rapidly excreted from the blood plasma. Plasma half-lives for the α- and β-stages, corresponding to distribution and elimination, are respectively 0.8 and 6.9 minutes. The total clearance of the compound from the plasma is about 0.9 mL/min.
The excretion of the compound takes primarily place via the feces and urine. After 6 days approximately 24% of the intake is excreted from the body, of which about 9% is excreted via the feces and 14.5% via the urine. Intoxication of mice with microcystin-LR led to a decrease in the levels of cytochrome P450 and cytochrome b5 and an increase in cytochrome P420, to which CYP450 is converted. Together with the fact that mice with an induced higher concentration CYP450 are less affected by the toxin, this suggest that CYP450 plays an important role in the detoxification of the compound.
In phase 2 of the biotransformation the compound is conjugated with several different endogenous substances. Microcystin-LR is known to be excreted as glutathione conjugate, cysteine conjugate and an oxidized ADDA diene conjugate. The glutathione and cysteine conjugate with the Mda-moiety. The oxidized ADDA is conjugated at the conjugated bond.ToxicityToxic effects cyanotoxins are very diverse and include neurotoxicity, hepatotoxicity and cytotoxicity with chemical burns. Microcystins are generally associated with hepatotoxicity. The toxic effect of microcystins is due to their inhibition of protein phosphatases.
Acute subacute toxicity
Many studies took place with intraperitoneal administration. Because of the differences in lipophilicity and polarity between the different microcystins, it cannot be presumed that the i.p. LD50 will predict toxicity after oral administration.

When microcystins are injected intravenously or intraperitoneally, they localize in the liver. This appears to be the result of uptake by hepatocytes. The WHO report states that microcystins are lethal to mice when they are exposed intraperitoneally to 25 to 150 μg/kg body weight.
In China, the highest incidence of liver cancer occurs in areas with abundant cyanobacteria in the surface waters. Tumor development is associated with low-concentration exposure over a long period of time.HistoryThe Chinese general Zhu-Ge Liang was the first to observe cyanobacteria poisoning about 1000 years ago. He reported the death of troops who drank green coloured water from a river in southern China. The first published report of an incidence of cyanobacteria poisoning dates from the poisoning of an Australian lake in 1878. Also, in China and Brasil, people died after drinking water from a lake. All these incidents have been attributed to cyanobacteria and the toxic compound microcystin-LR. That is the reason why the World Health Organization (WHO) issued a guideline for microcystins in drinking water. The WHO guideline<!--guideline for what? maximum concentration?--> for microcystins in drinking water, based on microcystin-LR, is 1 μg/L. With the high levels of Eutrophication in South Africa, typical exposures can be as high as 10 μg/L.

Demographics of Liverpool
|
The demography of Liverpool is officially analysed by the Office for National Statistics. The Liverpool City Region is made up of Liverpool alongside the Metropolitan Boroughs of Halton, Knowsley, Sefton, St Helens, and the Wirral. With a population of around 496,784, Liverpool is the largest settlement in the region and the sixth largest in the United Kingdom.
Population change

As with other major British cities, Liverpool has a large and very diverse population. In the 2011 UK Census, the recorded population of Liverpool was 466,400, a 5.5% increase from the 435,500 recorded in the 2001 census. Liverpool's population peaked in the 1930s with 846,101 recorded in the 1931 census. Until the recent increase, the city had experienced negative population growth every decade; at its peak, over 100,000 people had left the city between 1971 and 1981. Between 2001 and 2006, the city experienced the ninth largest population percentage loss of any UK unitary authority.
In common with many cities, Liverpool's population is younger than that of England as a whole, with 42.3% of its population under the age of 30, compared to an English average of 37.4%. Those of working age make up 65.1% of the population. Liverpool City Region had an estimated population of 1,554,642 in 2019.
Ethnicity
thumb|Ethnic makeup of Liverpool by single year ages in 2021
While 84% of Liverpool's population is white, the city is one of the most important sites in the history of multiculturalism in the United Kingdom. Liverpool is home to Britain's oldest black community, dating to at least the 1730s, and some Liverpudlians are able to trace their black ancestors in the city back ten generations. Early black settlers in the city included seamen, the children of traders sent to be educated, and freed slaves (since slaves entering the country after 1722 were deemed free men).
The city is also home to the oldest Chinese community in Europe; the first residents of the city's Chinatown arrived as seamen in the 19th century. The gateway in Chinatown is also the largest gateway outside of China.
The city is also historically known for its large Irish and Welsh populations. The Liverpool accent (Scouse) is thought to have been influenced by the arrival of Irish and Welsh immigrants. Today, up to 50% of Liverpool's population is believed to have Irish ancestry. The influences of Irish and Welsh culture have given Liverpool's people traits usually associated with the Celtic fringes of the British Isles.
The vast majority of Liverpool's ethnic minorities live within the inner city area, particularly in and around Toxteth. According to the 2001 census, 38% of the population of Granby, 37% of Princes Park, and 27% of Central were from ethnic groups other than White British.

Major ethnic and national groups
The largest and most significant non-English ethnic and national groups in Liverpool are listed in alphabetical order below.
Afro-Caribbeans
thumb|Afro-Caribbeans participants at Liverpool's International Carnival, costumes by Sunshine International Arts, participants from SOLA arts
Historically, and even today, the Afro-Caribbean population of Liverpool has been largely outnumbered by Black Africans. In 2009, just under 5,000 Liverpudlians were of Afro-Caribbean origin (most of these being of mixed White and Black origins). This is compared to the 6,900 plus individuals of full or partial Black African origin in the city. Some Black Africans in Liverpool can trace their ancestry back to the city's links with the slave trade, whilst Afro-Caribbeans are a fairly recent and emerging ethnic group. By far the largest wave of Afro-Caribbean immigrants to the UK occurred in the 1940s and 1950s, when the British government encouraged people to come over and help contribute to the economy by taking up empty job vacancies. Despite being a relatively small community, Afro-Caribbeans have made a significant contribution to the history and culture of the city. There are numerous Afro-Caribbean-owned businesses and community centres in and around Toxteth and the Smithdown Road area.
Chinese
thumb|Chinatown, Liverpool
Liverpool is home to the oldest Chinese community in Europe. Despite this, the IOM has estimated that the true number of Chinese people in Liverpool could range between 25,000 and 35,000. The first presence of Chinese people in Liverpool dated back to the early 19th century, with the main influx arriving at the end of the 19th century. This was in part due to Alfred Holt and Company establishing the first commercial shipping line to focus on the China trade. From the 1890s onwards, small numbers of Chinese began to set up businesses catering to the Chinese sailors working on Holt's lines and others. Some of these men married working class British women, resulting in a number of British-born Eurasian Chinese being born during World War II in Liverpool. Although the Chinese population in Liverpool is much smaller than it was mid-20th century, the city's Chinatown district has spread significantly since its first establishment, now taking up much of Berry Street. The 2001 census showed 1,542 Liverpudlians were born in the People's Republic of China and 1,228 in Hong Kong. Liverpool has been twinned with China's largest city, Shanghai since 1999.
Ghanaians
There is a strong presence of Ghanaians in Liverpool, with an estimated 9,000 individuals originating in the African nation living in the city. Liverpool is a stronghold for overseas Ghanaian students; significant numbers study at the city's three universities, particularly Hope University. Hope works alongside the Ghanaian High Commission and has set up the 'High Value Scholarship for Ghana', which alongside the university's other scholarships has helped draw a large number of potential students from the African nation.
Greeksthumb|Greek Orthodox Church of St Nicholas, Toxteth
The Liverpool Greek community dates back over 180 years, and a group named the Liverpool Greek Society was established in 1996. The first large wave of Greeks to the city occurred in 1821 after massacres of Greeks by Turkish invaders on the island of Chios. Significant numbers also came to work for the Ralli Brothers, who recruited 40,000 Greeks in cities worldwide including New York City, Geneva and Liverpool. whilst 3,000 Greeks are estimated to live to the west of the River Mersey in the Wirral area, Chester and North Wales.
Irish
Following the start of the Great Irish Famine, two million Irish people migrated to Liverpool in the space of one decade, many of them subsequently departing for the United States. By 1851, more than 20% of the population of Liverpool was Irish. At the 2001 Census, 0.75% of the population were born in the Republic of Ireland, while 0.54% were born in Northern Ireland, but up to 50% of Liverpudlians are thought to have some form of Irish ancestry.
Italians
Significant numbers of Italians first arrived in Liverpool in the 19th century. The main reason for Italians coming to the city was to embark on a journey from the port of Liverpool to the 'New World' in hope of a better life than in their native Italy. Despite this many failed to complete the journey and actually remained in Liverpool, the largest numbers settling on and around Scotland Road, which soon became nicknamed 'Little Italy'. There is an Italian Consulate located on the west side of the Mersey in Birkenhead adjacent to the Queensway Tunnel.
Latin Americansthumb|right|Brazilica Festival in Williamson Square in 2012
Liverpool and the surrounding urban area is home to UK's largest Latin American community outside London. Although significant migration from Latin America to the United Kingdom only began in the 1970s, at a time of much political turmoil and civil unrest in Latin America, Liverpool's Latin American community has seen a large increase in size during the mid-2000s. Amongst the most famous Latin Americans in Liverpool are the numerous expatriate footballers who play for the city's professional football clubs. Liverpool F.C.'s current first team includes three Brazilians. Liverpool has friendship links with Havana, Cuba, La Plata, Argentina and Valparaiso, Chile.
Malaysians
The IOM has stated that around 9,000 Malaysians live in the city which makes it one of the largest such communities in the country. They are the second largest East Asian group in Liverpool. There are also an estimated 1,500 Vietnamese residing in the city.
Somalis
Somalis number in the thousands in Liverpool, and are one of the city's longest established ethnic minority groups. According to the 2001 census, 678 Somali-born individuals were living in Liverpool, but unofficial estimates place the figure between 4,000 and 9,000 inhabitants. While many Somalis arrived in Liverpool seeking asylum after the outbreak of the Somali Civil War in 1991, there has been a presence of Somalis in the city since the 19th century, when many came to Liverpool to work for the British Navy, The majority of Liverpool's Somali community reside in Toxteth, where there are numerous Somali-run businesses and community groups. In 2004, a local social worker, Mohamed "Jimmy" Ali, became the UK's first Somali councillor, although he has since lost his seat.
South Asians
thumb|Some of the first Indians to permanently settle in Liverpool
Like most British cities, Liverpool has a strong presence of South Asians. 2007 estimates put the number of people of Indian origin in the city at 6,700, Pakistanis at 3,200, Bangladeshis at 1,100. Some 2,000 people belonged to other South Asian groups whilst a further 2,000 individuals were of mixed South Asian and European origin. However, around 1910 a group of Indian males from the Punjab region of India moved to Liverpool and established the city's first fixed community. During World War I, many more came to Liverpool to look for work while numerous more came to the city after India was granted independence in 1947. Historically, the first place Indians and fellow South Asians looked for work were the docks of Liverpool. It was a hard living with little pay and the fact that they spoke little to no English made it even harder. 120,000 Welsh people migrated from Wales to Liverpool between 1851 and 1911. At the 2001 Census, 1.17% of the population were Welsh-born. After the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, an increase of trade between Britain and the Far East meant that more men had to be recruited to work in ports and on ships. It is unknown exactly how many Yemenis and people of Yemeni descent live in Liverpool, due to the fact that Yemeni ethnic/national origin couldn't be stated in the 2001 census. Despite this, the 'Arab' ethnic option was added to the 2011 UK Census. Many Yemenis in the city are noted for running newsagents and corner shops, the number of which is estimated to be approximately 400 in 2008.
Zimbabweans
People originating in Zimbabwe are another large Black African group in Liverpool; they are thought to number no fewer than 3,000.
Detailed
The following table shows the 20 largest ethnic groups as identified by the residents of Liverpool in the 2021 census.

These detailed ethnicities are based on the self-designation entries used in UK ethnicity classifications. It is important to recognise that people of one ethnicity, such as Iranians, may identify within different broad ethnicity classifications which will affect this table. For example, 856 people identified as 'Asian: Iranian' in Liverpool, with a further 637 people identifying as 'Other: Iranian'. This combination would put Iranian as a top 20 ethnicity in Liverpool.

Overview
Due to thousands of migrants and sailors passing through Liverpool over the centuries, the city now has a religious diversity which is reflected in its equally diverse collection of religious buildings. At the time of the 2001 census, 79.5% of the city's population were Christian, 1.4% were Muslim, 0.6% were Jewish, 0.3% were Buddhist, 0.3% were Hindu, and 0.1% were Sikh. Just over 0.1% of individuals collectively belonged to other faiths whilst 9.7% claimed to be non-religious and 8.1% opted not to reveal their religion.

Per the above table, note that the census question regarding religion was first asked in 2001 and response is voluntary.
Christianity
The parish church of Liverpool is the Church of Our Lady and Saint Nicholas, an Anglican church which has existed near the waterfront since 1257. Though it is Anglican, it regularly plays host to Catholic masses. Other notable Christian places of worship include the Church of St Nicholas (Greek Orthodox) and the Gustav Adolf Church (Lutheranism). The Church of St Luke was bombed by the Nazis in the Liverpool Blitz during World War II and has been abandoned ever since, though it has become a noted tourist attraction as its damage was never fixed and the roof is still missing entirely, earning it the local nickname of the "bombed-out church".
Liverpool's wealth as a port city enabled the construction of two enormous cathedrals, both dating from the 20th century. The Anglican Cathedral, which was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott and plays host to the annual Liverpool Shakespeare Festival, is the fifth largest cathedral in the world. The Catholic Metropolitan Cathedral was initially planned to be even larger. Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, only the crypt was completed. The cathedral was eventually built to a simpler design by Sir Frederick Gibberd; while this is on a smaller scale than Lutyens' original design, it boasts the largest panel of stained glass in the world. The road running between the two cathedrals is called Hope Street, a coincidence which is often commented on positively by both Anglicans and Catholics.
Islam
Liverpool had one of the earliest mosques in Britain, founded in 1887 by William Abdullah Quilliam, a lawyer who had converted to Islam. At its height Liverpool was the centre of Islam in UK. During the Great Wars, millions of Muslims fought for the British Empire as colonial subjects. In the aftermath, Britain needed to rebuild its economy and many Muslims came over as factory labourers in the 1950s and 60s, particularly from the Indian subcontinent. There are other mosques in Liverpool: the largest and main one, Al-Rahma Mosque, in the Toxteth area of the city and a mosque recently opened in the Mossley Hill suburb. The third mosque was also opened in Toxteth. Multimillion-pound plans to refurbish and restore the city's first mosque were revealed in January 2010. In 2018, the Bait-ul-Lateef Mosque opened on Breck Road in Everton, owned by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association of Liverpool, making it the fourth mosque to be currently operating in the city.
Judaism
Records of Liverpool's Jewish community date back to the 1750s, and it became the largest Jewish community in northern England during the 1800s. It is believed that Jewish refugees were welcomed and accepted much more easily than in most other English cities, prompting them to encourage their descendants to remain in the city for generations. Consecrated in 1874, its congregation also pioneered the use of the English language in Jewish services. The city's Reform Jews congregate at Liverpool Reform Synagogue in the Wavertree district, which was consecrated in 1962, while there is also a Masorti community in the Woolton suburb. Other Jewish institutions include the Lubavitch Foundation in Allerton, King David High School in Wavertree, and the Merseyside Jewish Community Care charity on Smithdown Road.
Notable Liverpudlian Jews include entrepreneur Brian Epstein, who managed the Beatles; actor Jason Isaacs, whose great-grandparents co-founded the Jewish community in Childwall; businessman David Lewis, who founded the Lewis's department store chain and left much money after his death for the construction of what would become some of the city's most important hospitals and philanthropic institutions; Lewis's chairman Harold Cohen, who funded the construction of the University of Liverpool's Harold Cohen Library;
Buddhism
The Duldzin Buddhist Centre and Kadampa Meditation Centre is located in the Aigburth suburb and focuses on Kadampa Buddhism.
Hinduism
Liverpool's Hindu community is served by a Mandir on Edge Lane, which also hosts the Radha Krishna Hindu Temple and the Hindu Cultural Organisation.
Sikhism
Liverpool has a gurdwara in the Wavertree district.

List of The Goon characters
|
This is a list of major characters in Eric Powell's comic book The Goon.
The Goon
An orphan raised by his Aunt Kizzie, a strong-woman for a carnival. When wanted gangster Labrazio made the carnival his hiding place, Goon snuck into his trailer after hearing about the man's reputation for viciousness. Labrazio showed the young Goon a book containing the names of his enemies, people who had done him favors, and people who owed him money. The police managed to track Labrazio down, however, and surrounded the trailer. In the resulting shoot-out, Goon's Aunt Kizzie, while trying to protect her nephew, was gunned down by stray bullets from Labrazio's firearm. When Labrazio dismissed Kizzie as a "stupid broad" for getting in the crossfire, the young Goon snapped and beat the mobster's skull in with a rock. Figuring the late gangster owed him something, Goon took Labrazio's book (and the man's hat) and took over the entire operation, collecting money and offing deadbeats, all the while insisting that Labrazio was still alive and the Goon was merely his "enforcer". The Goon is a hulking figure, normally wearing green pants, a white or black shirt, and the hat he removed from Labrazio. Occasionally he wears a faded blue shirt with green stripes on the sleeves—the uniform from his football days. The left side of his face is horribly scarred, caused in a fight with a Triad leader who could turn himself into a dragon by the use of dark magic (as explained in The Goon graphic novel Chinatown). His eyes are blue, with the scarring on the left side of his face rendering his left eye blind. He has brown hair cropped short, almost always covered by his trademark cap.
Franky
After killing Labrazio, the Goon met Franky, a cowardly kid who was continually picked on by bullies. They became fast friends after the Goon beat up a kid who tormented him. The Goon involved Franky in his criminal business, setting out to burn down a barbershop which refused to pay protection to "Labrazio". During the arson attempt, they were attacked by zombies. Franky, not believing he could, killed one in self-defense, at which time he underwent a change in personality, adopting a haughty "tough-guy" persona similar to the Goon's, and taking up the position of the Goon's right-hand man. Franky normally wears brown pants with suspenders, a white tank-top, and a brown fedora on his bald head. Franky's eyes are drawn without pupils, similar to the comic strip character Little Orphan Annie or Jiggs from Bringing Up Father. Franky is nowhere near the Goon's level in combat prowess, but he has proven himself useful many times, if nothing else than to watch the Goon's back and act as another set of hands. His signature move is the "knife to the eye".
The Zombie Priest
Nemesis of the Goon, the Priest is a mysterious man who dwells on Lonely Street, protected on all sides by his undead hordes. The Zombie Priest (also called The Nameless Man and other variations) is steeped in the occult, and seems bent on building up his rotting army, perhaps to one day conquer humankind. He is grizzled and almost zombie-like in appearance himself, sporting a top hat decorated by the flayed skin of a face. The Priest's chief creations are the greenish animated corpses that occupy much of Lonely Street, but he has also succeeded in reanimating an enormous chimp more than once. Evil appears drawn to him, as vicious hags and giant bats provide extra protection for his stronghold, and goat-like demons advise him in his undertakings. The Zombie Priest was recently revealed to be a demonic creature himself, and perhaps the inspiration for the folk tale "Rumpelstiltskin", as he spent a thousand years in hell after a princess discovered his name. The Priest's true name is his most closely guarded secret, as anyone who knows it has power over him.
Due to the recent reappearance of the Buzzard and the efforts of the Goon, the Zombie Priest's undead hordes have dwindled to nearly nothing. Faced with oblivion at the hands of his enemies, the Nameless Man has taken drastic measures to rebuild his army. Resurrecting one last zombie known simply as "Mother Corpse", the Zombie Priest plucked out one of his own eyes to imbue her with a special power: procreation. With a termite-like abdomen that fills an entire room, Mother Corpse spawns countless miniature demons who are grown and lethal within six hours of birth. With a new legion of monsters at his command, the Zombie Priest is far from being defeated; the full cost of this new power, however, has yet to be seen.
The Priest has fallen from grace, with the arrival of another of his kind, dressed as an Indian warrior. This creature cut out the Priest's remaining eye to somehow create or bring back Labrazio. The Priest spends his days now writhing in pain, being tortured, and enduring endless humiliations from his successor. After Labrazio was defeated by the Goon, the Priest was then freed by Buzzard after being held captive, to be used as a weapon against Labrazio. He has recently taken the eye of The Cat and begun to make preparations for the Indian Warrior's return, saying: "He'll bring the others when he comes back ... But this town is mine!"
The Coven
A clan of supernatural entities from the same inhuman race as the Priest. Called sorcerers, priests, demons, and witches, they are referred to as 'magpies' by the Goon and his crew. The Coven plots to exploit the power of the curse lying over the town to restore their race to its former greatness. Their arrival in town sparked an all-out war with the Goon. The Coven each have bizarre animal familiars with misshapen human heads, like the Priest's cat familiar, who vanish when they are slain. They regard the Priest as the least of them, and look upon him with disdain after having cast him out long ago. The Priest has allied himself with the Goon to destroy the Coven, revealing their powers and weaknesses to his former enemy.
The Arab – The leader of the Coven. He plans to break Goon's spirit and then kill him, adding to the power of the curse over the town which he intends to command.
Longfingers – Described as the 'general' of the Coven. A sadistic, ghoulish monster with an inhuman appearance, Longfingers feeds on stolen children and the suffering of their parents. He may have inspired the 'Boogeyman' legend as the Priest inspired the legend of Rumpelstiltskin. Longfingers has a tall, thin body and his hands can sprout vicious nails. He is able to fight physically on par with the Goon, with neither opponent being able to defeat the other. Of all the Coven, Goon wants to kill Longfingers the most.
Spade – A being claiming to have the power to see through the eyes of men. He was killed by Willie Nagel with a shotgun blast to the head – as an eyeless zombie, Nagel was immune to Spade's power.
Spindle – An old woman with the power to turn herself and the other Coven members to fog. Goon countered her power by throwing acid bottles into her fog form, causing her to be burned by the fumes and forcing her back into her physical form. Goon then killed her by pouring acid on her.
Stone – A member of the Coven with unknown abilities. He was killed by the Goon with an axe.
Rake – A member of the Coven with unknown abilities. He was killed by Longfingers after a falling out among the Coven over the Arab's machinations.
Claire Buckley (Buzzard)
Former sheriff of a Western town where the Zombie Priest came as a "missionary". As Buzzard was the only doubter of the Priest's unholy wisdom, he was shunned by his people and spiraled into an alcohol-fueled despair. Meanwhile, the town was stricken by a virulent plague that killed the townfolk, then brought them back from the grave. After being mocked by the Zombie Priest for failing to protect his citizens, the sheriff became consumed by vengeance and rode through the town, slaughtering zombies and storming the Nameless Man's camp. The terrified Priest attempted to use his necromancy on the sheriff, but rather than turning him into a zombie, it had a reverse effect. He became a living man with an insatiable hunger for the flesh of the dead, which garnered him the name "Buzzard". In the years that followed, he tracked the Priest across the countryside in a single-minded quest to avenge the town he didn't protect. As the trail led Buzzard into the city, he met the Goon and Franky in the midst of a zombie ambush. After telling the men his story, he informed them both he was going to storm the Nameless Man's tower. Despite the protests of the Goon, he continued his hunt into the very stronghold of his enemy. Upon reaching Lonely Street, Buzzard found himself surrounded. As the zombies closed in, he continued firing until both his handguns were empty, and the panel fades to black.
Seemingly dead, he was forgotten for months. He was, however, imprisoned in the tower of his enemy, tortured for months and starved to a near-skeletal state. Buzzard then managed to send a message to the Goon through a small spirit he befriended in his cell. The Goon gathered a rescue party and stormed Lonely Street and, with the help of Hieronymous Alloy and his robot Bruno, Buzzard was freed from torment. The last words yelled from the Zombie Priest were a reminder to Buzzard how he had failed in his mission to protect the town where he was once the Sheriff. The knowledge of his defeat drove him to despair and he attempted to commit suicide by shooting himself in the head. However, the Zombie Priest's curse kept him alive. After regaining strength, Buzzard buried himself alive beneath a tree on the outskirts of town. His mind wandered as he lay entombed, and the spirits in the woods told him many secrets, including the origin of the Zombie Priest, and the Goon's destiny as the only one who could triumph against the Nameless Man. His purpose renewed, Buzzard clawed his way free of the roots and soil to aid the Goon in his fight. Buzzard now guards the city's graveyards, preventing the creation of new zombies.
During the attack by Labrazio, Buzzard enslaved the Priest as a weapon against the resurrected mobster. After the battle was over, Buzzard commanded the Priest to reverse his curse, only to be told that the spell has evolved, making Buzzard an unknown type of creature that even the Priest does not understand, and that there may be no cure.
Labrazio
Seemingly returned from death by the dark magic of the Priest's people, Labrazio has seized control of the Lonely Street gang and begun a vicious offensive on the Goon, already having killed Norton's mother and one of the two Mudd Brothers. His nature is debatable, given that he has extreme supernatural powers of shapeshifting and he is colored blue. Also, Goon found his body naturally rotting in the grave he had been buried in, leaving little doubt that, whatever the new Labrazio, he is not the one the Goon killed.
During a climactic battle on Lonely Street, it was revealed that the spirit of the original Labrazio was channeled into changeling creatures created by the Mother Corpse, a spell done by the Priest. It was revealed that the mysterious turbaned old man who commanded the Priest to resurrect Labrazio was a friend of his. Before being finally killed by the Goon, Labrazio revealed that the people of the turbaned man will be coming to the town, mockingly warning the Goon that he would rather be dead than face them.
Recurring characters
Dr.Alloy/Hieronymous Alloy
A brilliant scientist whose attempts to help the public have nearly all back-fired, one of them landing him in debt to the Goon after wrongfully sending one of his murderous robots after him. Alloy then turned his attentions to more virtuous pursuits, such as destroying zombies on Lonely Street and defeating a giant Spanish-speaking lizard poised to destroy the city. Alloy has golden, metallic skin—an apparent side-effect of his extensive alchemical research. Recent campaigns (caused by the molecular break-down of his body, and ensuing insanity) to annihilate everyone with his robot army for not believing that his gene-modified creamed corn was superior, have landed him back in prison, where he has decided to stay for his own edification as well as the safety of humanity. He has recently sent the Goon some two-way radios in the fight against Labrazio, as Alloy felt that he could never fully repay his debt to the Goon.
Norton
Norton is the bald and mild-mannered bartender of Norton's place, the Goon's favorite hangout. While of little importance to the story overall, Norton can be depended on for pretty much anything the Goon needs. After his mother's death, Norton has evolved into a major character, taking up his mother's gypsy ways and marrying the leader of her rival clan.
The Little, Unholy Bastards
A group of juvenile delinquents who first made their appearance with the intention of breaking the Goon out of prison. They live at the McGreg Home For Illegitimate, Wayward and Possibly Homicidal Youth. Though they aided Goon in his prison break and later discovered Merle's betrayal and passed it on to the Goon, they have proven to be little more than a nuisance, the Goon having no need for kids in his operation. He allowed them to spy for him saying if they die it would be better than living in the cursed town. He seems to have warmed up to them, as of late, going out of his way to save the kids when they were attacked by a hobo deity. They are Smitty (the leader), Specs, Charlotte, and Peewee.
During Labrazio's attack on the town, Specs was shot by the inhuman mobster. Specs reappeared in the next issue sporting his arm in a sling.
Most recently, in The Goon No. 34, The Little Unholy Bastards were saved by The Goon when he, in a drunken stupor, fought a demon in the form of a girl, forcing her into a nearby cemetery where she perished.
Mirna
A singer at Norton's Place. She has shown interest in the Goon, though he feels that he is too hideous for any woman to be genuinely interested in him. She has never shown any signs of duplicitous behavior. Her brother's death disturbed her greatly, and she came to despise Goon. His resurrection as a zombie left her mentally unhinged. Mirna came back to the town to investigate the return of Skinny, only after his second death, became even more confused, but was convinced by the Goon to help Bella, injured by an attack by Labrazio. Upon learning that Bella had a son with the Goon, Mirna went into a state of rage and left town again.
Cat
A small orange cat with a jowelled and weathered human face. The Cat is perhaps the Zombie Priest's most loyal minion, and is given to long-winded speeches on the subject of his master's greatness. Lazlo and the Graves have great contempt for the creature, but the Cat has proved himself useful enough to keep around, even giving one of his eyes to his blind master, although this was an unexpected action by the Priest. It is suggested in the recent story arc that the cat is the Priest's familiar spirit.
Willie Nagel
Besides Lazlo, he is the only other zombie in the Goon's world to speak coherently. However, Willie has chosen to distance himself from the Zombie Priest. Willie has more than a passing similarity to Spider since they both wear bowler hats, are scam artists, and hang around the Goon despite being constantly abused by him. Unlike Spider, he has actually proven himself useful to the Goon, even if it was for a price. Willie believes the reason he retained his personality as a zombie is due to him living life to the fullest when he was still alive.
Skinny/Mr. Wicker
Skinny was Mirna's younger brother, a piano player and stockboy at Norton's Place. His determination to be somebody, coupled with his unprovoked hatred of the Goon, led him to become the mysterious Mr. Wicker. Using a book of magic stolen from Momma Norton, Skinny transformed himself into a hulking figure of twisted branches, able to engulf himself in deadly flames. As the Goon battled for his life against Mr. Wicker, Franky destroyed the book, and the Goon accidentally killed the boy as he became Skinny once more. He was resurrected as a zombie, with his Wicker powers intact, to work for Labrazio, only to be killed by the Goon again.
El Hombre de Lagarto
Formerly a Godzilla-like monster, after being defeated by the Goon he has been reduced to acting as a manservant to Dr. Alloy. Though his behavior has been curbed by drugs, the second incarceration of Alloy led to a lapse in his medication and a resultant rampage through the more quaint parts of Goon's turf. Lagarto speaks Spanish, but with little regard to grammar or coherence.
Spider
A giant talking spider who wears a bowler hat. Spider has the rare distinction of being a criminal that the Goon dislikes but hasn't killed. He can be seen skipping out on child support, cheating at cards or hustling others at Norton's Bar. He's also the victim of violence from the Goon and others, having been beaten mercilessly simply for being a talking spider or for owing the Goon five bucks. He is shown to have an acidic bite, but when rallying any men he could, the Goon dismissed Spider as "useless". In Drawing On Your Nightmares, Spider's real name was revealed as Percival Goodbody. The same story also revealed that his children are ashamed of him and apologize for his actions repeatedly.
Momma Norton
The seemingly crazy gypsy mother of pub owner Norton. Though her advice has often aided Goon, it usually comes in the form of eccentric behavior. She was recently shot to death by the returned Labrazio, who feared her gypsy magic as a threat.
Lazlo
Lazlo is the green-skinned zombie assistant of the Zombie Priest. He differs from most other zombies in that he can form complete sentences. He has been seen in flashbacks as having once looked far more human. When Labrazio takes over, Lazlo seems to have no compunctions with the change in leadership, and happily participates in the beating of his former master. During the final battle on Lonely Street between Goon and Labrazio, Lazlo's head was blown to pieces by Franky.
The Mudds
Bill and Charlie Mudd are a pair of Bog Lurk brothers that work as enforcers for the Goon (and Franky for a short time while Goon was in prison). They have a penchant for breaking legs for not meeting debt payments (often regardless of when the payment is made). They are rightfully regarded as moronic but brutal, so they have their uses in the world of the Goon. Bill Mudd was murdered by Labrazio's gang after Merle ratted them out. Charlie, in a state of grief, travels around with a tree stump he believes to be Bill. He has gone into vicious fits of rage since Bill's death, even savagely murdering Joey the Ball, who had put a hit out on the Mudds.
Fishy Pete
Leader of a vicious gang of fish-men that patrol the city's harbor. Fishy Pete has a special hatred for the Goon, the man responsible for his dual peg legs and hook hands. Pete's mother is the legendary Sea Hag who "seduces" stranded mariners, much to her son's embarrassment. Fishy Pete speaks in typical pirate brogue, and is fond of quoting Quint's lines from Jaws.
Jimmy Turtle
Another rarely seen friend of the Goon's, although he did appear in person in time for Franky to smash a beer bottle into his face. A professional scam artist with a penchant for smashing rocks over people's heads, Jimmy Turtle once helped Franky in a quest to find the Legendary Boxcar of Well-Made Ladies Shoes.
Merle
Merle was a werewolf and part-time gunrunner for the Goon. In human form he usually dresses in a vest and beat-up cowboy hat, and has brown fur in werewolf form. The Goon calls him in from time to time to help out in a fix. Merle is also a chronic alcoholic, and has a severe phobia of midget hands. Merle eventually ratted out the Mudd Brothers to Labrazio and paid for it with his life. Upon discovering his betrayal the Goon tortured him sadistically, taking advantage of his werewolf ability to endure punishment that would kill a human, finally ending his life with a silver bullet. His bastard son, a werewolf like his father, came to kill the Goon in revenge, but failed and ended up adopted as a pet by the Little Unholy Bastards.
The Psychic Seal
A seal wearing a turban that can speak the future and reads omens, the Seal has made two appearances to date. He speaks in the usual "Ark! Ark!" of seals, but anyone listening can understand him perfectly. He has an unfortunate habit of "Ark"-ing insults about his clients' mothers, which led to his receiving a savage beating at the hands of Franky and the Goon.
The Graves
A family of three sickly men, a widowed father and twin sons. Each of the three men is afflicted with leprosy, the price the eldest Grave paid for making a pact with the Zombie Priest. They often get beaten or blown up by the Goon on their body-snatching raids for the Zombie Priest. Despite being unable to communicate normally, the twins are capable of speaking Hobo, thus saving them from the wrath of the Hobo Jungle's many cannibals. During the creation of Mother Corpse, the Graves, finally having found the Nameless man's acts too depraved to handle, abandoned their service to him and left the town.
Mother Corpse
Due to Buzzard's and the Goon's efforts, the Zombie Priest's corpse fueled army has almost completely been destroyed. As a result, he was forced to turn to magic—namely Mother Corpse—who is capable of birthing hordes of miniature demons ("Chugheads") that can combine themselves into a larger monster. Mother Corpse was made from the body of a dead pregnant woman and hallucinates the Chugheads as normal human children. The miniature demons were revealed to be containing the spirit of Labrazio, leading to Mother's spell being shut down by the Priest, under Buzzard's control.
Charlie Noodles
The oft-mentioned but never seen friend of the Goon and Franky. Almost all of their anecdotes involve Charlie Noodles at some point, and the Goon always refers to the man as "good people".
Joey the Ball
An early gang rival of the Goon, Joey the Ball has the odd distinction of his right hand being permanently stuck inside a bowling ball. Due to this unbalanced weight training, the otherwise midget-sized Joey has one gargantuan, hyper-muscular arm. He strives to commit all his crimes with a sense of panache, and always speaks in the third-person narrative. Joey the Ball arranged to murder Bill Mudd for Labrazio, and was subsequently killed in retaliation by Charlie Mudd.
Peaches Valentine
This odd character has appeared in several issues (including the Christmas special where he played Tiny Tim). Recognizable by his 'Chick Magnet' shirt, Peaches is mentally retarded and prone to making messes with his own feces. He has been shot in the face several times by Franky, but always reappears no worse for wear.

The American Security and Trust Company Building is a Neoclassical bank office in Washington, D.C., designed by the architectural firm of York and Sawyer. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The east facade of the building presents a multiple bay arrangement with two plain bays flanking a hexastyle portico of six Ionic columns and entablature, while the narrower and plainer south face has a single bay with two plain Doric pilasters flanking the entrance in a shallow recess. It was the second trust company established in the District and the first to offer a women's department. MNC had purchased American Security Bank in 1987 but continued to operate it under the original name.
Due to its location immediately north of the Treasury Building, the building appeared on the back of the ten dollar bill for many years, a fact American Security took advantage of in its advertising with the slogan, "Right on the money".

"Living on an Island" is a single released by the British rock band Status Quo in 1979. It was included on the album Whatever You Want and featured Rick Parfitt on lead vocals.
Lyrically, the song is about band member Rick Parfitt having to take a "tax year" outside of the United Kingdom and the boredom and isolation he felt living on the Isle of Jersey; however he is also excited about a pending visit from a friend ("Cruxie") who is arriving shortly.
-The first verse deals with fame and the public's perception v. the reality and the resulting depression, due to loneliness.
-The second verse is more optimistic, with Parfitt, not sounding depressed, but bored.
-The third verse however, is positive; talking about the fun the two men are currently having. Although the storyteller indicates that he knows that this will be short lived, as his friend will not stay for long.
The themes of the song are isolation, friendship, partying and drugs, specifically cocaine. Every verse ends with the 'line' (also referenced multiple times and further proof of drug theme) "and we'll get high".
As with the 'penguin' theme started with the previous "Whatever You Want" single, the first 100,000 copies of "Living on an Island" were issued with a picture sleeve featuring several penguins enjoying Antarctic conditions. In addition, the music video features footage of penguins interspersed with footage of the band miming the song on a soundstage.

thumb|Francisco A. Marcos Marín (May 21, 2022)
Francisco Adolfo Marcos-Marín (born June 20, 1946, Madrid) is a Spanish linguist, an Emeritus Professor of Linguistics and Translation at the University of Texas at San Antonio. Previously he was professore ordinario per chiara fama in the Università di Roma 'La Sapienza', catedrático de Lingüística General at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and catedrático de Historia del Español at the Universidad de Valladolid. He is a Corresponding Fellow of Academia Norteamericana de la Lengua Española and Academia Argentina de Letras, and an Honorary Citizen of San Antonio, Texas.
Professional achievements
Marcos-Marín received the Humboldt Research Award in 2004. Academic Director of Instituto Cervantes (1999–2001). Director of the area of Language Industries at the Spanish National Agency for the Development of Programs for the Quincentennial (1990–1992). UNESCO Consultant in Beijing (PR China, 1981). Coordinator of the Reference Corpora of Contemporary Spanish in Argentina and Chile, and of the Oral Corpus of Centro-Peninsular Spanish. Scientific Co-Director of ADMYTE, Digital Archive of Spanish Manuscripts and Texts. Director of the Argentina-Spain cooperation project for preparing the Catálogo de la Colección Foulché-Delbosc of the National Library of Argentina and its electronic edition. Member of the Scientific Committee of the Diccionario del Español Medieval (Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and Humanities.) Membro del Consiglio Scientifico, Progetto Lingua Italiana Dante Alighieri, Società Dante Alighieri, Italy. Member of several evaluation committees in Argentina, Austria, Egypt, the European Union, Germany, Italy, Spain, Tunisia, and the United States. In 2015, he was appointed an Expert of the European Research Council.
Evolution of his work
The linguistic line of his studies, which includes general linguistics and the history of linguistics, remained in parallel with historical works such as Reforma y Modernización del Español. Ensayo de Sociolingüística Histórica (1979) or on medieval texts, with the first digitally unified edition of the Libro de Alexandre (1987) and the critical edition with a modern Spanish version of the Cantar de Mio Cid (1997). Since 2004, because of his move to the United States of America, he has worked on research leading to books of a linguistic and social nature, such as Los Retos del Español or, in collaboration with Amando de Miguel, Se Habla Español. In 2009, he published Más allá de la Ortografía the first Hispanic orthography for Spanish of the United States and Latin America, which paid particular attention to Latin American speakers and their phonetic variants. He collaborated in the Enciclopedia del Español en los Estados Unidos, sponsored by the Instituto Cervantes. He was a member of the joint commission of the North American Academy and the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese (AATSP). Since 2009, he has been collaborating with SHUMLA, an archaeology and rock art research and education institution in Texas, where he develops work as an ethnolinguist, resulting in a series of publications. He has also founded the Spanish Observatory of the United States Inc. This non-profit institution collaborates with educational and cultural services in the United States regarding contact between Spanish and English. Between 2018 and 2022, he resided in Jerusalem at the Instituto Español Bíblico y Arqueológico (Casa de Santiago) and collaborated in linguistic and archaeological studies and research.
His research on the origins of the Spanish language, especially the contacts between Arabic, Classic and Andalusi, Afro-Roman Latin, Andalusi Romance, and Ibero-Romance languages, has maintained a constant that can be exemplified by the need to replace the term Mozarabic with Andalusi Romance, following Federico Corriente, to avoid confusion of linguistic and religious or cultural domains. Since 2015, this line of research has been completed with studies that relate Berber and Afro-Romance languages, descendants of African Latin, Basque-Romance, and Andalusi Romance. These studies led in 2023 to his second PhD, also at the Complutense University, in Religious Sciences and are presented in his 2023 book: Dominio y Lenguas en el Mediterráneo Occidental hasta los Inicios del Español.
Francisco A. Marcos-Marín is the author of over thirty printed books, over three hundred papers, and reviews published in specialized journals, collective volumes, or Festschriften in several countries in different languages. He has presented over two hundred communications at international conferences and delivered more than one hundred specialized seminars or workshops in various countries. He has also published two books of poetry and several short stories and has contributed widely to American, Latin-American, and Spanish newspapers, radio, and TV broadcasts.

"'''What You're Proposing'" is a single released by the British rock band Status Quo in 1980. It was included on their album Just Supposin'''.
The B-side is "A B Blues", a non-album instrumental studio jam. Some later pressings of this single mis-credited Andy Bown as Andy Brown on the B-side composer's credit. The initial pressing run of 75,000 copies of this single were issued with a colour picture sleeve.
The song was reprised, in 2014, for the band's thirty-first studio album Aquostic (Stripped Bare). It was featured in the ninety-minute launch performance of the album at London's Roundhouse on 22 October, the concert being recorded and broadcast live by BBC Radio 2 as part of their In Concert series.

Lorenzo Hoopes
|
Lorenzo Hoopes (November 5, 1913 – September 21, 2012) was an American business executive, government bureaucrat, and Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints official.
Hoopes spent much of his career as an executive for Safeway. When he retired in 1979 he was the senior vice president at the business. He took a leave of absence from Safeway in 1953, during the administration of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, to serve as executive assistant to United States Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson. Hoopes returned to Safeway in 1955.
Biography
Early life and education
Hoopes grew up in Brigham City, Utah and graduated from Box Elder High School. He received a bachelor's degree from Weber State University and also studied at the University of Utah. He earned an MBA from Pepperdine University and did advanced management training at the Harvard Business School.
Career
As of January 2010, Hoopes was head of the Paramount Theatre Board in Oakland, California. The Paramount Theatre is a public institution with a board that appoints new members, with the consent of the city council and mayor, but in the past the decisions of the board have always been upheld. Hoopes was believed to be the person in Oakland who donated the largest amount of money to the Yes on Proposition 8 campaign, which caused some to seek to oust Hoopes from his unpaid volunteer position with the Paramount Theatre. He sat on the board of the theatre for nearly 30 years.
Hoopes served for 17 years as a member of the Oakland School board.
Hoopes served as chairman and member of the Board of the Foundation for American Agriculture; vice chairman and member of the Board of the Farm Foundation; president and member of California's Coordinating Council for Higher Education; chairman, director, and secretary of the National Dairy Council; and chairman and member of the National Advisory Council.
Personal life and Church service
Hoopes was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Hoopes was serving as bishop of the Oakland California Ward, which included where the Oakland Temple now is, when the ground was broken for the church's first meetinghouse on that general site in about 1957. He later also served as president of the LDS Church's Oakland California Stake. He served as president of the church's England Bristol Mission from 1979 to 1982. He served as president of the Oakland Temple from 1985 to 1990.
His wife, Stella Bobbies Sorenson Hoopes, died on January 14, 1996. David C. Hoopes is one of their children.

}}
Samani Pulepule (13 October 1923 – 4 June 2013), formally His Eminence and Most Reverend, Chief Apostle Dr. Samani Pulepule was a Samoan minister from the early 1950s in the Assemblies of God movement. Dr Pulepule was also the Chief Apostle of the Samoan Assemblies of God in New Zealand for over 40 years and was elected as the World Chairman of the Samoan Assemblies of God International. The Tokelauan Assemblies of God and Tuvaluan Assemblies of God also came under his leadership.
He was the senior pastor for the Grey Lynn Samoan Assemblies of God congregation in Auckland, New Zealand. It was one of the fastest growing and largest Samoan congregations in the world. Pulepule also planted over 100 churches throughout New Zealand, over 60 in Australia, and elsewhere where Samoan communities were present.
Rev. Pulepule played a pivotal role in mission work, particularly in Samoa and American Samoa, where the District Council of the Assemblies of God comprises almost 200 congregations. His influence extended to the mainland USA, fostering the growth of over 90 Samoan congregations, predominantly along the west coast, with an additional 50 in Hawaii and Alaska.
The World Tongan Assemblies of God fellowship emerged through Pulepule's guidance, as Tongan leaders sought his assistance in creating a global movement. In 2005, a significant development occurred in the New Zealand Samoan movement he led, resulting in 40 churches remaining under the Assemblies of God in New Zealand umbrella, while 45 churches became an autonomous fellowship under his leadership.
Since 2005, the church under Pulepule's direction has experienced substantial growth, increasing from 45 to over 80 congregations. It remains the fastest-growing Pentecostal movement in New Zealand. However, on September 25, 2011, Pulepule officially resigned from his roles as Chief Apostle, General Superintendent, and World Chairman in the Samoan Assemblies of God movement. The event was attended by former General Superintendents of the Assemblies of God in New Zealand, global Assemblies of God leaders, the mayor of Auckland, the Auckland City Council, Members of Parliament, and leaders from other Pentecostal denominations. All paid tribute to Pulepule and the First Lady.
His wife, First Lady Sapapali'i Pulepule, died on 21 May 2013. Pulepule died two weeks later on 4 June 2013. Thousands attended both memorial services. The New Zealand Government also presented gifts, and the National flag of New Zealand was draped over their coffins.
Early life and history
Pulepule was born on October 13, 1923, in the village of Solosolo, Samoa (formerly Western Samoa) to Tupolesava Pulepule Matu'u II and Aimama Tuala Tagaloa of Saluafata who were members of the L.M.S. in Solosolo. He has 9 siblings and is the second eldest child.
He became a teacher at Avele College, and later met his wife Sapapali'i, both were members of the CCCS (Congregational Christian Church of Samoa or L.M.S.). By then the Assemblies of God from American Samoa had already begun missions in the Samoan islands.
In 1963, Makisua and Mauosamoa Fatialofa were holding revival meetings in Lotopa. It was at these meetings that Samani and Sapapalii were saved. Barry Smith, a school teacher at that time who worked with Samani at Samoa College, had brought them to the meetings, and it was from that day on, Pulepule decided to devote the rest of his life to the church and its purposes. (Pentecost to the uttermost: History of the Assemblies of God: Dr. Tavita Pagaialii, Pg.53)
In 1965, he was appointed to lead Faleasi'u Assembly of God (the first Assemblies of God church in Samoa). In 1967, he moved to New Zealand.
Pulepule and his wife planted a church in the Grey Lynn area in Auckland, and the church grew rapidly, having to extend their church more than five times just to cater to the 500-plus-strong congregation. In 1967, Grey Lynn Samoan A/G was the first ethnic church to align with the Assemblies of God in New Zealand. The 20 or so Samoan Pentecostal churches thought their church would become more effective if they all came together, and at that time these Pentecostal churches had united and officially became the Samoan Assemblies of God in New Zealand under the leadership of Pulepule, there he was elected as the superintendent of the Samoan movement in New Zealand, and it soon became the fastest-growing church in New Zealand.
In 1992, the Samoan Assemblies of God Convention Centre officially opened. The center was named the "Samani Pulepule Convention/Community Centre" and it seats up to 4,000 people.
In 1999, the Grey Lynn church relocated to Mt. Roskill, where it purchased an old factory building for NZ$1.6 million, and renamed their church from Grey Lynn to Auckland Samoan Assembly of God, which has been the church of the general superintendent for over 40 years. Family and heritage During their time in ministry, Pulepule and his wife had three children: Onesemo, Sera and Talalelei. Onesemo moved to Australia and founded the Melbourne Samoan Assembly of God church, and in 2001 was elected as the General Superintendent of the Samoan Assemblies of God in Australia. All are Samoan-born. His brother Taulapapa Mama Pulepule is also currently pastor for the Falefa Assembly of God in Samoa and has been for several years, His younger brother Ieti is also a pastor for the Paraparaumu church. His other brother Tautiaga (who holds the Magele of Lufilufi & Lemusu of Solosolo titles) and sisters Masina, Tivalo & Lanuola. Other siblings who died at a young age were Niu, Levao, Momoemaluapia.
Homegoing celebration
A three-day homegoing celebration was held from 13 to 15 June 2013. The first celebration service was a pastor's celebration service held at the church he founded, Grey Lynn Auckland Samoan Assembly of God, eulogies were made by local pastors, as well as the executive council of the Samoan Assemblies of God in New Zealand. The second celebration service was held at the Samani Pulepule Convention Centre, a complex which seats 4,000 people, eulogies were made by family members, and a special musical from the Auckland Samoan A/G church. In attendance were the Tongan Assemblies of God, a church that Pulepule had helped with becoming a worldwide fellowship, also in attendance were the former Assemblies of God Leaders from around the world, local members of Parliament, and leaders of other major denominations. The third service was the Assemblies of God National/International service. This was held at the Auckland Samoan Assemblies of God, and a special presentation from the New Zealand Government, the National and Labour Parties were made to Pulepule's family. Tagata Pasifika, a well-known television news broadcast had special coverage of the homegoing services. Pulepule was buried next to his wife, who had died two weeks earlier. Thousands of people from all over the world gathered to celebrate a life of devotion and faithfulness. Sunday services the following day were spread out across the Auckland metropolitan area to cater to the thousands of dignitaries and pastors from around the world. Over 4,000 people gathered every night of the three-day celebration. Leadership From between 1962 and 1963, Pulepule became the third pastor of Faleasi'u Assembly of God; he then moved to New Zealand in 1963 and founded the Grey Lynn Samoan A/G and in 1999, Pulepule founded the Auckland Samoan Assembly of God, a church that grew from 4 families to over 500 adherents in 10 years.
He was also elected as chairman of the Worldwide Fellowship following the death of Pastor Max Haleck, Jr. in 2006. From 2006 to 2011, Pulepule held the post of world chairman, until he resigned in September 2011. Succeeding him in this role is his son, Onesemo Pulepule, who was called into office at the resignation of his father.
*
Cultural reformation
In an interview with ABC Australia presenter Geraldine Coutts, New Zealand MP William Sio said that Dr. Pulepule had genuine concern for the people he led. In a question asked by Coutts mentioning the way the church went about things with traditional Samoan practices and the pioneering role he had had in the change, she asked about the practices in particular were rejected. Sio replied that in the case of weddings and funerals etc., it was the exchange of fine mats. And often money and food which puts a burden on the extended family. He found that even though the practice still exists, it has been somewhat modified without the extravagance they were accustomed to and making it more in line with what the communities could afford.
This played a key role in the church's rapid growth. People were drawn to his genuine concern for their wellbeing spiritually and physically. His message to the worldwide fellowship was received with a rousing support. Dr. Pulepule will be remembered because he was simply a servant. The Samoan congregations will never forget the time where the Te Puke Samoan A/G church were preparing to bless their new church when a few members of the church were in a fatal car accident, a father and two sons died leaving a widow and their youngest child. During the service where a love offering was collected for Dr. Pulepule, he stopped the service and collected a love offering for the widow and her child. These were one of many great things Pulepule had done, and one of the many reasons he was admired and known as the spiritual father of the movement. References

Ramberto Malatesta
|
Ramberto Malatesta (died January 1330) was a son of Giovanni Malatesta and his second wife Zambrasina dei Zambrasi, and brother of the Archpriest Guido Malatesta.
Around 1323, Ramberto was approached by his cousin Uberto, Count of Giaggolo and invited into a conspiracy to overthrow their uncle Pandolfo I Malatesta, Lord of Rimini and head of the Malatesta family. But Uberto da Giaggolo was the son of the Paolo Maletesta, who was murdered by Ramberto's father in a bout of jealousy back in 1285. Pretending to play along, Ramberto arranged for a banquet in his home for the conspirators, and then fell upon and killed Uberto.
At the death of Pandolfo I in 1326, the succession to the Malatesta dominions was partitioned between Ramberto's cousins, Malatesta II 'Guastafamiglia' getting Pesaro and Ferrantino 'di Malatestino' receiving Rimini, leaving Ramberto out in the cold.
But Ramberto was not a man to be ignored. In July 1326, shortly after the succession, Ramberto arranged for another banquet at his home in Rimini, inviting his cousins and their families. Alas, Malatesta II himself was unable to attend, foiling Ramberto's plans for what was likely to be a family mass murder. Ramberto opted for the half-measure of releasing the members of Malatesta II's family, and imprisoning only Ferrantino's family, hoping Malatesta II could be persuaded to join him in the conspiracy. It is possible Malatesta II contemplated it. But Polentisana da Polenta, wife of Ferrantino's son Malatestino Novello, rallied the people of Rimini and appealed to her own Polentani family, in an effort to release her husband from Ramberto's clutches. Malatesta II entered Rimini with his army, and forced the captives' release. Ramberto escaped to his countryside castles.
In 1327, Cardinal Pouget managed to reconcile Ramberto with the rest of the Malatesta. But the very next year, Ramberto and his brother the Archpriest Guido conspired with the exiled Parcitadi family, long-time enemies of the Malatesta, in an assault on Rimini. Once again it failed, and once again a reconciliation was negotiated.
But Malatestino Novello (son of Ferrantino) had had enough of Ramberto's plots and intrigues. In January 1330, he lured Ramberto on a hunting trip to his castle in Poggiano. Soon upon arrival, Ramberto fell on his knees and begged Malatestino's forgiveness for his past treacheries. Malatestino's only reply was to pull out his dagger and plunge it into Ramberto's neck, killing him instantly.

Meco all'altar di Venere
|
"Meco all'altar di Venere" is an aria from the opera Norma by Vincenzo Bellini, sung by the character Pollione in act 1, scene 2.
Libretto
{| class=wikitable
! Original Italian
! English translation
|-
|Meco all'altar di Venere,
Era Adalgisa in Roma;
Cinta di bende candide,—
Sparsa di fior la chioma.
Udia d'Imene i cantici,
Vedea fumar gl'incensi;
Eran rapiti i sensi—
Di voluttade e amore
|With me in Rome before the shrine
Was Adalgisa bending;
Bound in her locks in hue divine
Rivall'd were lilies blending;
Softly her hand she press'd in mine,
Air breath'd with incense around us.
Sweeter delights await us—
Thy holiest pleasures, love!
|-
|Quando fra noi terribile,
Viene a locarsi un'ombra,
L'ampio mantel Druidico
Come un vapor l'ingombra.
Cade sul l'ara il folgore,
D'un vel si copre il giorno,
Muto si spande intorno—
Un sepolcrale orror.
|When an unearthly, awful shade,
Fashion'd itself from nothing,
Mists, like a Druid mantle laid,
Around it ghastly floated.
Tempest his legion flames arrayed,
Daylight shrank out all sickly,
Hideous, 'mid darkness, thickly
Sepulchred horrors move.
|-
|Più l'adorata vergine
Io non mi trovo accanto,
N'odo da lunge un gemito,
Misto de' figli al pianto,—
Ed una voce orribile,
Echeggia in fondo al tempio:
"Norma così fa scempio
Di amante traditor!"
|Vainly I sought the gentle one
There at the altar kneeling.
Mocking my search, a stifled moan
On o'er the night came stealing;
While in a deep, mysterious tone,
Re-echo'd thro' the temple:
"Norma thus makes example
Of traitors false to love."

Fort du Salbert, also known as Fort Lefebvre, was built between 1874 and 1877. It was named after General François Joseph Lefebvre. It forms part of the Séré de Rivières system fortifications in the fortified region of Belfort in northeastern France. It is located at the summit of Salbert hill to the northwest of Belfort. During the early years of the Cold War it briefly served as an air defense coordination center.
After it became apparent that masonry forts would not resist explosive shells, the fort was modernized beginning in 1885 with concrete over the caponiers and the creation of underground shelters for troops. From 1893 the fort was connected to other Belfort forts by the Chemins de fer du Territoire de Belfort strategic railroad. The fort was equipped with optical semaphores allowing communications with other forts. During the First World War a number of underground galleries were constructed to link the caponiers to the caserne.
Fort du Salbert commands an area of ponds surrounding Malsaucy, and controls roads to Lure, Giromagny and the Paris rail line. Its initial construction cost was 2,120,332 francs d'or. Initial manning was 460 men, 24 non-commissioned officers, and 13 officers. A well and cistern provided water. Armament in 1882 was five 155 mm long guns, eight 120 mm long guns, and a variety of small mortars and small-caliber guns for close defense.
A 1900 modernization was to add a Galopin armored twin 155mm gun turret and an armored observation post. The gun turret project was abandoned, along with a further addition of a machine gun turret and a 75mm gun turret. The main fort never received the extensive concrete cover that was applied to other Séré de Rivières forts.
Currently, the fort has lost much of its original appearance (late nineteenth century) due to the creation in 1950 of the Ouvrage "G" de la D.A.T. that required modernization of the fort. The part of the fort which was used as this shelter is currently accessible to visitors by means of a guided tour run by a preservation association which was created in 2016.

Status Quo cover
"'Something 'Bout You Baby I Like'" was covered as a single by the British Rock band Status Quo in 1981. It was included on the album Never Too Late''.
The version by Glen Campbell and Rita Coolidge prompted Francis Rossi of Status Quo to cover the song. The picture sleeve for the band's version was available in three different colour schemes - full multi-colour, blue print and red print. The majority of the 150,000 sleeves printed were the intended 'full colour' print.

Pat Welsh (author)
|
}}
Patricia Ruth Fisher-Smith Welsh, also known as Pat Welsh and Patricia Fisher, (born 1929) is an American television performer, columnist, garden editor, public speaker, and author.
Welsh is known for her books, videos, and television programs on gardening. She is also known as an early advocate of using Mediterranean gardening techniques in the coastal areas of California.
Early years
She was born in Halifax, Yorkshire, England, in 1929 to Emerson Lyman Fisher-Smith and Ruth Beatrice Ambler. Her parents were socialites who lost their money and residence in the Wall Street crash of 1929. The family was forced to live with their parents; they went first to the Gleddings and then to Hoyle Court. After her parents divorced, they both moved separately to the United States, leaving the children in England until they became eligible to emigrate. In 1939, Welsh and her siblings arrived in New York City.
Welsh's family moved into a farmhouse in Bucks County, Pennsylvania farm. During here time there, Welsh learned sculpture, watercolor painting, and numerous outdoor skills. She was inspired to become a writer by family friendships with James Michener, Pearl Buck, William L. White, and Oscar Hammerstein II.
In 1944, the family moved to Southern California. Welsh graduated from Hollywood High School, received a B.A. from Scripps College in Claremont, California.
On June 8, 1951, she married Maximilian Welsh, a Los Angeles trial lawyer for the Santa Fe Railroad. He later became a California Superior Court Judge and was a founder of the San Diego Inn of Court. In 1956, the couple built a home in Del Mar, California that was designed by John Lloyd Wright, They had two children, Francesca Filanc and Wendy Woolf.Early career
During the 1960s, Welsh began her career as an authority and television personality. She started writing travel and self-help articles, published under the names Patricia Fisher and Patricia Welsh, in the Los Angeles Times and other newspapers. In 1975, she began lecturing on gardening at the University of California, San Diego Extension. In 1979 she became the first Garden Editor of San Diego Home/Garden Magazine.
In 1981 Welsh was hired as the host of an evening news segment called "Newscenter 39’s Resident Gardener" on KNSD in San Diego. This was the first regularly scheduled garden news segment aired on the evening news by a network station. During her time at KNSD, she planned, wrote, and performed over 500 practical gardening segments plus one grand promo weekly and two teases. The show lasted five years. During its time, Welsh's show helped raised public awareness of gardening in her area. Patricia won a San Diego Emmy Award for News Performer. She continued for several years in local and nationwide television as a freelance writer and performer.
Later years
In the late 1990s Welsh made two gardening videos for the Meredith Corporation, the publisher of Better Homes and Gardens magazine. "Foolproof Flowerbeds", written and performed by Welsh and filmed in Descanso Gardens, La Cañada Flintridge, California, won the Garden Writers' of America Quill and Trowel Award for Best Video of 1990. The success of this video led to another called "Landscape Problems Solved". This was followed by infomercials, national TV programs, and eight shows on the Home/Garden network filmed in Nashville, Tennessee in 1996.
In 1988 Welsh returned as a columnist to San Diego Home/Garden Magazine, In 1991, Chronicle Books published Pat Welsh’s Southern California Gardening: A Month-by-Month Gardening Guide, the first major gardening book "written exclusively for the unique climate and conditions of Southern California". This book stayed in print for twenty years, selling close to 100,00 copies. In January 2010, the new all-organic edition entitled Pat Welsh’s Southern California Organic Gardening, Month by Month was published by Chronicle Books.
Gardening philosophy
Welsh strongly believe that Californians should use gardening techniques suited to their climate rather than the climates of England and the Eastern United States. She urged gardeners to grow drought-resistant plants and use techniques and timing of garden tasks appropriate to a Mediterranean climate: plentiful sunshine, mild temperatures, and dry summers with most rainfall occurring in fall, winter, and spring. Welsh's approach combines the artistic elements of gardening, such as design and color, with practical skills for dealing with climate zones, soil types, plant materials, irrigation methods, and environmentally responsible methods of disease and pest control. An early emphasis on IPM (Integrated Pest Management) was later replaced by a firm conviction that chemical pesticides have no place in the home garden. Patrician now urges gardeners to use Organic horticulture methods with organic fertilizer in place of synthetic ones.
Artistic ventures
Welsh is also a sculptor and painter in watercolor and oils. Her professional art projects include the design and building of a 92-foot-long, multi-media mural completed in 2002 in collaboration with graphic artist Betsy Schulz and 80 volunteers. This mural is four feet tall and includes over thirty pieces of original terra cotta sculpture plus brick, Mexican river rock, and local memorabilia. It is located in Del Mar at the Public Library.

John Daniel Watling (11 May 1925 – 3 June 2023), known as Josser Watling, was an English professional footballer who played in The Football League for Bristol Rovers between 1945 and 1963.
Watling was a one-club man, whose only senior team was Bristol Rovers. Prior to joining The Pirates, he played for Plain House Youth Club, the Royal Navy, and St Andrew's Boys Club in Avonmouth, and he also had an unsuccessful trial at Plymouth Argyle at the end of the Second World War. He joined Bristol Rovers in October 1945, initially as an amateur, before signing his first professional contract in January 1947.
After having made 323 League appearances and scoring 19 goals, Watling retired from playing in 1963 but remained with the club for a further two years as a coach and scout before finally leaving in 1965 after spending twenty years with them.
Following his retirement from football, he worked as a storekeeper at Glenside Hospital in Bristol. He was also the cousin of boxer Terry Ratcliffe, who won the gold medal in the welterweight division at the 1950 British Empire Games. As of 2019, Watling was noted as being Bristol Rovers' oldest living player.
On 30 April 2021, it was announced that Watling would become the final of the ten initial inductees into the Bristol Rovers Hall of Fame.
Watling died on 3 June 2023, at the age of 98.

Universe Sandbox is a series of simulation video games. In Universe Sandbox, users can see the effects of gravity on objects in the universe and run scale simulations of the Solar System, various galaxies or other simulations, while at the same time interacting and maintaining control over gravity, time, and other objects in the universe, such as moons, planets, asteroids, comets, and black holes. The original Universe Sandbox was only available for Windows-based PCs, but an updated version was released for Windows, macOS, and Linux in 2015.
Universe Sandbox was designed by Dan Dixon, who released the first version in May 2008. Dixon worked full-time on the project since 2010, founding the company Giant Army the following year. Since then, he has hired eight additional designers for the company. Work on a new version of the game, originally titled Universe Sandbox², began in 2014. In November 2018, the original Universe Sandbox was renamed to Universe Sandbox Legacy, and the new version was then renamed to Universe Sandbox in December.SimulationsBoth realistic and fictional simulations appear in Universe Sandbox, with each area of outer space being placed by default or according to the player's preference. Real simulations include the Solar System, which includes the eight planets, five minor planets, 160+ moons, and hundreds of asteroids; and predictions of future events such as the Andromeda and Milky Way galaxy collision which will occur in 3.8 to 4.5 billion years. During gameplay, the player may be introduced to the regions that include the 100 largest bodies in the Solar System, the nearest 1000 stars to the Sun or the nearest 70 galaxies to the Milky Way. A visual size comparison of the largest known stars and planets can be explored, and real time animations of events like the Apophis asteroid passing near Earth in the year 2029 can be watched. Comets can be observed colliding into planets, such as the Shoemaker Levy 9's collision with Jupiter. The trans-Neptunian object 2008 KV42 with a retrograde motion orbit can be seen in a simulation. Moons are able to be converged into planets, and may be able to affect the planet's atmosphere or minerals. Players are able to view the Rho Cancri (55 Cancri) star in the constellation of Cancer; they can see the five known planets in the system. The Pioneer and Voyager spacecraft can be seen in its encounters with Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Visual Lagrange points of the Earth and Moon can be seen, along with the galaxy and star system. The gamma-ray burst locations, found in distant galaxies, can be found. Supernovas are shown in real time.
Reception
Both games have received near-universal acclaim. Duncan Geere of PC Gamer UK gave it an 84/100 and spoke positively of the game, "Universe Sandbox is not going to change your life. It is not going to make you cry, and it won't sit in the top of your most-played list in Steam for weeks. But if you like the idea of an interactive orrery that you can rip apart and put back together in whatever way you like, and you're happy to feed it with a bit of imagination, it's hard to find a better way to spend £6."

In 2014, the team began working on a complete remake of Universe Sandbox featuring an entirely different game engine, originally titled Universe Sandbox². Some of the new features include atmospheres being shown on planets, simulation of planet compositions and surfaces, dynamic and procedurally generated textures on stars and gas giants, a more realistic and graphic collision system, 3D charts in chart mode, simulation of stellar evolution, procedural detail in rings/particles, visualization of black holes, simulation of fluid-like objects (such as gas clouds, surface water, nebulae and protoplanetary disks, and planetary collisions) and much more. Such simulations like Planet X crashing into Earth, Venus and Mars as the planets were billions of years ago are possible. In December 2018, the game was renamed from Universe Sandbox² to Universe Sandbox, citing disputes over the game's pronunciation.See also

Kelvin–Varley divider
|
The Kelvin-Varley voltage divider, named after its inventors William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin and Cromwell Fleetwood Varley, is an electronic circuit used to generate an output voltage as a precision ratio of an input voltage, with several decades of resolution. In effect, the Kelvin–Varley divider is an electromechanical precision digital-to-analog converter.
The circuit is used for precision voltage measurements in calibration and metrology laboratories. It can achieve resolution, accuracy and linearity of 0.1 ppm (1 in 10 million).
Circuit
thumb|upright=1.8|Kelvin–Varley divider set for 0.2073.
The conventional voltage divider (Kelvin divider) uses a tapped string of resistors connected in series. The fundamental disadvantage of this architecture is that resolution of 1 part in 1000 would require 1000 precision resistors.
To overcome this limitation, the Kelvin–Varley divider uses an iterated scheme whereby cascaded stages consisting of eleven precision resistors provide one decade of resolution per stage. Cascading three stages, for example, therefore permits any division ratio from 0 to 1 in increments of 0.001 to be selected.
Each stage of a Kelvin–Varley divider consists of a tapped string of equal value resistors. Let the value of each resistor in the i-th stage be Ri Ω. For a decade stage, there will be eleven resistors. Two of those resistors will be bridged by the following stage, and the following stage is designed to have an input impedance of 2 Ri. That design choice makes the effective resistance of the bridged portion to be Ri. The resulting input impedance of the i-th stage will be 10 Ri.
In the simple Kelvin-Varley decade design, the resistance of each stage decreases by a factor of 5: Ri+1 = Ri / 5. The first stage might use 10 kΩ resistors, the second stage 2 kΩ, the third stage 400 Ω, the fourth stage 80 Ω, and the fifth stage 16 Ω.
Application
The full precision of the circuit can only be realized with no output current flowing, since the output's effective source resistance is variable. Kelvin–Varley dividers are therefore usually applied in conjunction with a null detector to compare their output voltage against a known voltage standard, e.g. a Weston cell (which must also be used without drawing current from it).
The final stage of a Kelvin–Varley divider is just a Kelvin divider. For a decade divider, there will be ten equal value resistors. Let the value of each resistor be Rn Ohms. The input impedance of the entire string will be 10 Rn. Alternatively, the last stage can be a two resistor bridge tap.
Trimming
For high precision, it is only necessary to ensure the resistors in any one decade have equal resistances, with the first decade requiring the highest precision of matching. The resistors have to be selected for tight tolerances, and may need to have their resistance values individually trimmed to be equal. This selection or trimming only requires comparing the resistances of two resistors in each trimming step, which is easily accomplished by using a Wheatstone bridge circuit and a sensitive null detector — a galvanometer in the 19th century, or an electronically amplified instrument today.
The ratio of resistances from one decade to the next is, surprisingly, not critical — by using Ri+1 resistances slightly higher than Ri / 5 and connecting a trimming resistor in parallel to the entire preceding decade in order to trim the effective resistance down to 2 × Ri+1. In the above example, the second stage might use 3 kΩ resistors instead of 2 kΩ; connecting a (trimmable) resistor of 60 kΩ in parallel with the second stage brings the total input resistance of the second stage down to the 20 kΩ required.
Sources of additional error
Temperature coefficient
Ideally, a resistor has a constant resistance. In practice, the resistance will vary with time and external conditions. Resistance will vary with temperature.
Carbon film resistors have temperature coefficients of several hundred parts per million per kelvin. Some wirewound resistors have coefficients of 10 ppm/K. Some off-the-shelf metal foil resistors can be as low as 0.2 ppm/K.
Self-heating
The power dissipated in a resistor is converted to heat. That heat raises the temperature of the device. The heat is conducted or radiated away. A simple linear characterization looks at the average power dissipated in the device (unit watts) and the device's thermal resistance (K/W). A device that dissipates 0.5 W and has a thermal resistance of 12 K/W will have its temperature rise 6 K above the ambient temperature.
When Kelvin–Varley dividers are used to test high voltages, self-heating can create a problem. The first divider stage is often made from 10 kΩ resistors, so the divider input resistance is 100 kΩ. Total power dissipation at 1000 V is therefore 10 W. Most of the divider resistors will dissipate 1 W, but the two resistors bridged by the second divider stage will only dissipate 0.25 W each. That means the bridged resistors will have a quarter of the self-heating and a quarter of the temperature rise.
For the divider to maintain accuracy, the temperature rise from self-heating must be limited. Getting very low temperature coefficients keeps the effect of temperature variations small. Reducing the thermal resistance of the resistors keeps the temperature rise small.
Commercial Kelvin–Varley dividers use wire-wound resistors and immerse them in an oil bath (sometimes the first decade only).
Thermal EMF
The thermoelectric effect causes junctions of different metals to generate voltages if the junctions are at different temperatures (see also thermocouple). While these unwanted voltages are small, on the order of a few microvolts per °C, they can cause appreciable errors at the high accuracy of which the Kelvin-Varley circuit is capable. The errors can be minimized through proper design — by keeping all junctions at the same temperature, and by employing only metal pairings with low thermoelectric coefficients (down to the external connectors and cables used; for example, a standard 4 mm plug/socket combination may have a coefficient of 1 μV/°C compared to only 0.07 μV/°C for a "low thermal EMF" grade plug/socket ).

Lawrence Stuart Milk (born December 26, 1960) is an American LGBT human rights activist and political speaker. The nephew of civil rights leader Harvey Milk, he is the co-founder of the Harvey Milk Foundation. He has engaged in domestic and international activism, including work with LGBT movements in Latin America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
Stuart Milk has promoted his uncle's story and addressed LGBT rights in formal major addresses on multiple continents, including before the United Kingdom House of Lords in 2012, the Italian Chamber of Deputies in 2011, the Panamanian National Assembly in 2010, and Turkish Grand Assembly in 2009. Milk is frequently quoted in international news and seen on broadcast television discussing issues of LGBT inclusion and diversity. He is also a featured writer and columnist for The Huffington Post, focusing on global human rights. During the 2012 U.S. elections, Milk gave public endorsements as a surrogate for Barack Obama and backed LGBT supporter Bob Filner over openly gay conservative Carl DeMaio in the race for mayor of San Diego; Filner narrowly won the election, becoming the first Democrat to be elected mayor of San Diego in 30 years.
Biography
Milk has worked on public policy since the late 1980s in both the public and private sector, primarily on workforce issues pertaining to youth and disadvantaged populations in the U.S. and abroad. In addition to his human service work, he has been a speaker on LGBT rights at colleges, universities and public events including for Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government, University of San Francisco, SUNY, Central European University, University of Oxford, University of San Diego, as speaker or grand marshal for numerous LGBT Pride parades including San Francisco and Orlando in 2008, Istanbul and Madrid in 2009, Boston and San Diego in 2010, Pittsburgh and Budapest in 2011, as well as Tijuana and Atlanta in 2012. He has provided addresses at political conventions, including both the California Democratic Convention and Florida statewide conventions in 2009 and 2010.
In addition to his role as Milk family spokesperson, he worked to share his uncle's story at international, national and state levels. He has successfully advocated for recognition for his late uncle as an annual California state holiday, Harvey Milk Day, held since 2009 on the late Milk's birthday; the induction of his uncle into the California Hall of Fame; accepting the United States' highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, on behalf of his uncle from President Obama; co-founding the international Harvey Milk Foundation; and the development of several new LGBT centers named after Harvey in foreign nations.
Milk was active in the 2012 U.S. presidential election as surrogate for incumbent Barack Obama, speaking to primarily LGBT audiences on behalf of the president at public campaign events, to the media and for the Obama For America organization. In October 2012, Stuart Milk, through his role as leader of the Harvey Milk Foundation, and Rosaria Iardino hosted a global summit on human rights inclusive of the LGBT community that brought NGO and governmental leaders from five continents to Milan, Italy. The summit was supported by the European Union, the Italian Senate, the City of Milan and Equality Italia.Early life and impact of his uncleAs reported in the San Francisco Chronicle, the 1978 assassination of his uncle destroyed the "closet door" for Stuart Milk. At the 20-year memorial of Harvey Milk's death, Stuart stated that he decided to be vocally out right after his uncle's murder, as a living and active memorial. "Earlier that year, Uncle Harvey and I had a three-hour talk at a family gathering, he talked to me about being your authentic self. I was just a teenager, but it stayed with me," Milk said.
"When I think about Uncle Harvey, I think about, even as a small child, the kind of the richness and color of life that he brought to me. Harvey was the person who introduced me to Broadway, and Broadway musicals", Stuart said in 2009.
Milk has been involved in public service since the late 1980s including directing employment assistance centers and youth enrichment programs. He told The New York Times that he sees his work in public service as part of his family's legacy. In 1999, Stuart Milk made available to the public several never before seen photos of his uncle's early campaign for elected office as well as personal family pictures.
In 1985, Milk gave his first large public address as an "out" LGBT activist alongside The Times of Harvey Milk producer Richard Schmiechen at Oberlin College. At the time, Milk was working as a campaign director for National Citizen Action, a progressive political advocacy organization.Current work and activism
'' producers Bruce Cohen and Dan Jinks, Stuart, director Gus Van Sant and screenwriter Dustin Lance Black]]
In addition to being the President of the Harvey Milk Foundation's Board of Directors, Milk also sits as a director on boards and advisory boards of numerous human rights, LGBT rights and youth advocacy organizations including the American Foundation for Equal Rights (AFER), Equality California, International Conference on Disadvantaged Youth, the Coalition for Workforce Solutions, and the International Committee for Minority Justice and Equality.
Milk has travelled to foreign nations advocating for human rights inclusive of the LGBT community while working collaboratively with other diminished and marginalized populations. Milk's speaking events have included LGBT public speeches in Istanbul, Ankara, and Cairo to public events in Central and Eastern Europe, Central American and South American cities, as well as activities in Asia and the Pacific Rim. In addition to twice giving the keynote addresses for International Congresses in the Netherlands, Milk has been a delegate on official sister city visitations or state visits to Sydney, Australia; Panama City, Panama; and Cape Town, South Africa.
Milk was involved with getting legislation signed to create an annual California State Day of Recognition named after his late uncle in 2009. His involvement was cited as a reason he received Equality California's Champion Award that year. In 2010 he worked with then California First Lady Maria Shriver in designing the first public museum exhibit on Harvey Milk in Sacramento, and he accepted his uncle's medal and induction into the California Hall of Fame from Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Harvey Milk Day activities are now held around the world every May 22—Milk's birthday—and are facilitated annually by the Harvey Milk Foundation. The foundation encourages organizers of Harvey Milk Day events to promote the unity of all marginalized minorities.
Stuart Milk participated in efforts to have a U.S. postage stamp named for Harvey Milk, the first for a self-identified LGBT person. The successful "Harvey Milk U.S. Postage Stamp Campaign" was also supported by LGBT organizations including the International Court System, Equality California, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, Human Rights Campaign, Victory Fund, The Trevor Project, and GLAAD. The Harvey Milk stamp was released on May 22, 2014, on what would have been Milk's 84th birthday, with an official first-day-of-issue ceremony taking place at the White House. It featured a black-and-white photograph of a smiling Milk in front of his Castro Street Camera store, along with a rainbow stripe.
Following a meeting with Milk during his 2011 "Human Rights Tour" for Equality Italia, Italy's Minister of Equal Opportunities, Mara Carafagna, publicly reversed her opposition to a proposed anti-homophobia law saying "I now see it is important for my government to protect against homophobia and create gay friendly workplaces".
Milk helped develop a 2011 professional international conference for youth educators working along with the Center For Excellence in School Counseling at San Diego State University. Senior federal government officials, including the assistant secretary of the United States Department of Education, were brought together with San Diego Mayor Sanders, school superintendents, faculty, counselors, and parent/student advocates to define and examine best practices to support LGBT youth while in school. Milk is also involved with a Global LGBT Transitions and Interchange Congress being presented in early 2012 with the support of European Union officials and the European private sector.PortrayalsPortrayals of Stuart Milk have included his characterization in the play Dear Harvey, by Patricia Loughrey that was partly based on Loughrey's interviews and discussions with Stuart. The play has been performed at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., at New York City's Fringe Festival and at colleges and universities across the United States. Dear Harvey has been translated into Spanish for production in Mexico and Spain while Stuart Milk's character was performed by actor Chad Allen in the spring 2010 production in Sacramento.Honors and awardsMilk has been the recipient of international and national awards for his global civil rights work, including Spain's Annual Muestra T (cultural authenticity) in 2008, Keshet/Jewish Mosiac's Hacham and Hachamat Lev Award in 2010, the José Sarria International Human Rights Award from the International Court in 2007, the Equality Champion of the Year Award from Equality California in 2009, and was the 2011 recipient of the Medal of Turin.

Heart Full of Fire

|noprose=yes}}
Heart Full of Fire is the second full-length album by the Finnish rock band Brother Firetribe. It was released by Spinefarm Records in 2008. It was produced and co-engineered by Vuorinen with the whole group having written all the songs except for "Chasing the Angels" which was written by John Lewis Parker (originally written for Mike Reno of Loverboy).
AllMusic's Eduardo Rivadavia gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5, calling it "A throwback in every sense of the word." He went on to say that "The album's 11 tracks pulse with the same familiar combination of catchy choruses, muscular guitar riffs, anthemic synthesizer melodies, and sparkling clean production values that original genre purveyors like Journey, REO Speedwagon, and Foreigner (to name but a few) ruled the airwaves with in the early '80s, but which haven't really dented the American charts since Giant's early-'90s attempts."
The song "I Am Rock" was originally recorded for a Finnish TV series called Pelkkää lihaa.

Stephen L. Nass (born October 7, 1952) is an American Republican politician from Whitewater, Wisconsin. He is a member of the Wisconsin Senate, representing the 11th Senate district since 2015. He previously served 24 years in the Wisconsin State Assembly, from 1991 to 2015.
Early life and education
Nass was born in Whitewater, Wisconsin on October 7, 1952. He graduated from Whitewater High School in 1978 and receiving a B.S. from the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater in 1978. He received a M.S. Ed. in school business management from UW-Whitewater in 1990. He remained a member of the Assembly until 2014, when he was elected to the Wisconsin State Senate from the 11th District.
Nass has become known for his adversarial relationship with the University of Wisconsin System, which he accuses of "liberal indoctrination." That position that assumed greater significance in 2007–08, when Nass was chair of the Assembly's Colleges and Universities Committee, which oversees the entire UW System, and 2010, when Nass regained control of the committee (after Republicans regained a majority of the state Senate). Paul Soglin, the mayor of Madison, Wisconsin, responded by calling Nass "the outlaw chairman of an Assembly committee that is designed to destroy the University of Wisconsin System." In 2017, Nass accused UW of waging a "war on men" with an initiative about masculinity, and criticized a course offered by UW on white privilege. Nass accused "liberal extremists in Madison who hate cars and think everyone should bike to work" with "basically making it difficult to use an automobile."
Nass is a supporter of Donald Trump. In 2017, Wisconsin taxpayers paid $966 to send Nass to Trump's first speech to a joint session of Congress, and in 2019, during the Trump's first impeachment, he accused Trump's enemies of "vile efforts to effectuate a political coup of the president." Nass has sponsored legislation to declare English the official language of Wisconsin. In July 2020, after Evers issued an order requiring the wearing of face coverings in public indoor spaces to prevent the spread of the virus, Nass called the order "illegal and unnecessary" and urged the state legislature to convene an emergency session to repeal the order. During the pandemic, Nass supported the termination of Evers' emergency declarations. He also pushed to require state workers to return to physical offices, revoke funding for schools that did not hold in-person classes, restrict the power of state and local health agencies, and expand school choice programs.VeteransNass’ positions on cannabis put him in direct opposition to the efforts of VSO’s such as the DAV.

The Léman Express is a commuter rail network for the transborder agglomeration of Grand Genève (Greater Geneva) in west Switzerland and the French Alps (Haute-Savoie and Ain). Six lines serve Swiss and French towns along 230 km of railway.
At the heart of the Léman Express system is the CEVA (Cornavin‒Eaux-Vives‒Annemasse) rail project linking Eaux-Vives station with Cornavin station in Geneva. This line, largely underground, was opened on 15 December 2019. The Léman Express marked the start of direct services from Genève-Cornavin station to the French cities of Évian, Thonon, Annemasse and Annecy as well as the population of the Arve Valley up to Saint-Gervais-les-Bains.
Lines
The Léman Express operates daily from 5:00 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. and hourly overnight on RL4 and RL5!

Ridership
Upon the full launch of the network in December 2019, it was hoped ridership would be around 50,000 travellers per day by the end of the next year; at the beginning of March 2020 it had already reached 45,000 per day before the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic and travel shutdowns reduced ridership. As of June 2020, ridership had recovered to around 50% of pre-pandemic ridership, and by 2022 the ridership reached 70,000 passengers per day, 40% higher than the initial target set for the network.
Fares
As the Léman Express is an international system between two countries, the fare system is complex. Until its entry into service, the cross-border agglomeration had a zone-based fare system named Unireso. Zone 10, "Tout Genève", covered all of the canton of Geneva. Fares inside this zone still use the Unireso Zone 10 ticket price. Trips to/from Vaud are charged the CFF fare, and trips entirely in France are charged the TER fare. Cross-border fares are charged at the Léman Pass rate, which is calculated as a specific fare based on the distance between stations. All stations within the Unireso zone are charged at the same rate, so a 44 minute trip from Annemasse to Pont-Céard, the last station in Zone 10, is charged the same fare as a 7 minute trip from Annemasse to Chêne-Bourg—as is a trip from Annemasse to the Geneva Airport, not even on the Léman Express network. Trips from outside Zone 10 to the other side of Zone 10, such as Annemasse to Coppet, are charged the full distance-based fare.
History
Prior to the opening CEVA, local rail in Geneva consisted of two short services: the half-hourly Regio operating from Coppet to the main Genève-Cornavin railway station and (since 2002) on to Lancy-Pont-Rouge station (now sections of L1-L4), as well as the Rhône Express Régional (abbreviated to 'RER') line from La Plaine (in Dardagny) to Genève-Cornavin station (now L5 and L6). The RER line used tram-trains derived from those on Lausanne métro's line M1, required as it was electrified using 1,500 Volts direct current, unlike the 15'000 Volts alternating current rest of the Swiss Federal Railway network. Local trains to Bellegarde-sur-Valserine (in France) joined the network on 3 December 2001. The line was subsequently upgraded to the standard 25 kV AC electrification (as used on much of the French railways) in conjunction with the development of the Léman Express system.
On 8 February 2008, the Swiss and French Railways brought into being a study and marketing company, Transferis, to look into rolling stock, service, and marketing improvements for the RER system. The studies were necessitated by the growing number of commuters living in France and working in Geneva, not only on the short, existing RER system but on the lines leaving the station at Eaux Vives on the south side of the lake.
The new, enlarged, RER network was to cover the present Eaux Vives to Annemasse line with services at regular intervals beyond to serve Évian, St. Gervais and Annecy, the RER line from Cornavin to La Plaine with services extending beyond to serve Bellegarde, and the local CFF services operating from Lancy (Pont Rouge) to Coppet through Cornavin. At the time of study, services carried some 7'000 commuters a day; with the improved network this was expected to grow to over 35'000 and cut up to 50'000 car journeys between France and Switzerland.
The largest civil engineering project within the scheme was the CEVA line from Cornavin to Annemasse. Connecting the two stations had been proposed as early as the 1850s, with a preliminary section from Annemasse to Eaux Vives completed in 1888. However, no further work was completed until the 21st century. As part of the final project, the a tunnel was built connecting the marshalling yard at La Praille (Lancy-Pont Rouge) to Eaux Vives, and Eaux Vives and Annemasse the 19th century line was closed for four years period whilst it was double-tracked and cut-and-covered.
As part of the scheme and to avoid RER rolling stock needing three voltages, Cornavin – La Plaine – Bellegarde was re-electrified at 25 kV AC in summer 2014. This not only allows standard Swiss dual voltage (25 kV AC 50 Hz and 15 kV 16⅔ Hz) EMUs to work on the line but also improves the performance of the TGV workings (Paris-Geneva TGVs no longer need to run under 1.5 kV DC).
The French signalling and train control between Geneva and la Plaine was replaced with standard Swiss equipment, the points motors renewed and the line fully automated.
The third track from Geneva to Coppet had passing loops installed at Chambésy and Mies stations where northbound and southbound trains can pass to allow for four trains per hour operation. As the passing loops were finished before the CEVA tunnel, quarter hourly service to Coppet was started on 9 December 2018, over a year in advance of the full rollout of the Léman Express.
The completion of the project in December 2019 makes it the largest cross-border local transport network in Europe, at 230 route-km.
Prior services
Local service along the Lausanne–Geneva railway
Local Régio trains served the Geneva to Coppet section of the modern Léman Express since the opening of the railway in the 19th century, with local service continuing to Nyon and Lausanne. In 2004, as part of the Rail 2000 railway upgrade program, a third track was inaugurated between Geneva and Coppet, allowing service to be upgraded to a half-hourly frequency, but with local service being cut north of Coppet. Local stations between Coppet and Allaman, the southern extent of the RER Vaud, were closed: Founex, Céligny, Crans, Prangins, Gilly-Bursinel and Perroy. Rhône Express Régional
The Geneva RER or Rhône Express Régional was a commuter railway service running between Geneva Cornavin station, Switzerland using the dedicated Platform 5 and La Plaine (Swiss terminus) and Bellegarde-sur-Valserine in France. It used part of the Lyon–Geneva railway. It is probably not a coincidence that the initials correspond to the Paris suburban railway commuter network RER. The service was twice hourly in each direction weekdays, with additional hourly services to Bellegarde at peak hours. Fares within the Swiss sector are covered by the Tout Genève ('whole of Geneva') rate, zones 11–17.
This line used to be electrified at 1500 V DC and signalled to SNCF standards from the border to both Geneva's central passenger station and La Praille goods depot.
Prior to the introduction of the "RER" brand in 1995 the Geneva – La-Plaine service was operated by two notoriously unreliable BDe 4/4 II railcars.

Claire Joan Schillace (March 29, 1921 – January 17, 1999) was a center fielder who played from through in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Listed at 5' 3", 128 lb., she batted right-handed and threw left-handed.
AAGPBL career
A native of Melrose Park, Illinois, Schillace attended Northern Illinois University. She played softball in a Chicago league and was a member of the Illinois state and Chicago city championship teams. She impressed the AAGPBL scouts with her speedy baserunning and fielding skills. After receiving a tryout invitation, she became one of the first four players signed by the league for its inaugural season, joining Ann Harnett, Shirley Jameson and Edythe Perlick.
Schillace spent four years in the league, all with the Racine Belles. She had an outstanding rookie season, hitting a career-high .251 average, being selected to the All-Star Team, and as member of the 1943 Belles Championship Team. During her career, she posted a .202 average and stole 153 bases.
Following her baseball career, Schillace completed her studies and earned a master's degree in education. After being married, she changed her name to Claire Schillace Donahoe. She and her husband had four children, three boys and a girl. For many years she worked as an educator in Maryland.
Claire served as a consultant for A League of Their Own, the 1992 film about the AAGPBL starring Geena Davis and Madonna, both of whom were novices to the sport. At one point, director Penny Marshall told Claire to teach Madonna "everything you know about baseball in a half an hour".
Milestones
In November 1988, Claire, along with her current teammates and opponents were dedicated in the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, New York with a permanent display to the All American Girls Professional Baseball League.
Claire died in Bethesda, Maryland at the age of 77, following complications from a blood clot.

Daniel Raymond Knodl (born December 14, 1958) is an American Republican politician from Washington County, Wisconsin. He is a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly, representing Wisconsin's 24th Assembly district since January 2025. Knodl previously represented this district from January 2009 until May 2023, when he was elected to the Wisconsin Senate in a 2023 special election to represent the 8th State Senate district.
Early life and education
Born in Milwaukee, Knodl was raised in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, and graduated from Menomonee Falls East High School in 1977. He briefly attended the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
Career
Knodl was first elected to the Washington County board of supervisors in 2006. Two years later, he won his first term in the Wisconsin State Assembly, running in the 24th Assembly district. He went on to win re-election seven times in this district.
On January 5, 2021, Knodl and 14 other Wisconsin lawmakers signed a letter to Vice President Mike Pence asking him to delay certification of the 2020 United States presidential election. In the letter, they claimed that "The 2020 election witnessed an unprecedented and admitted defiance of state law and procedural irregularities raising questions about the validity of hundreds of thousands of ballots."
On December 2, 2022, Knodl announced that he was running in the special election for the 8th state senate district after incumbent Alberta Darling resigned. On February 21, 2023, Knodl beat Janel Brandtjen and Van Mobley in the Republican primary race. He defeated Democrat Jodi Habush Sinykin on April 4. Knodl was sworn in as a state senator on May 3, 2023.
A year after his election, however, the 2024 redistricting act re-drew the 8th Senate district so that Knodl and fellow senator Duey Stroebel were contained in one district. He announced he would not seek re-election to the Senate, and instead opted to run for his old seat in the 24th Assembly district. Electoral history Wisconsin Assembly (2008–2022) {| class"wikitable"

Edvard Welle-Strand
|
Edvard Welle-Strand (1 May 1884 – 10 March 1965) was a Norwegian journalist and novelist.
Career
Edvard Welle-Strand was born in Vesterålen, Norway. Welle-Strand wrote newspaper articles from his district in 1900, sending them to the newspaper Nidaros in Trondhjem. In 1905, he was hired by Nidaros. He later studied journalism in Berlin. He worked in Hvepsen, and from 1910 to 1936, he worked as a subeditor in the newspaper Bergens Aftenblad. From time to time, he had assignments as a foreign correspondent; covering Petrograd in 1917 and Finland in 1918. He also contributed to Mikal Sylten's anti-Semitic magazine Nationalt Tidsskrift and to Sylten's likewise tinted Christmas magazine Nordisk Jul. Welle-Strand, who was a staunch anti-Semite and believed in Jewish financial domination conspiracies, was one of the most prolific non-pseudonymous contributors apart from Sylten himself, and had his most active period in Nationalt Tidsskrift in 1921. Edvard's granddaughter Ragni (b. 1946) was married to famous writer Edvard Hoem from 1982 to 1995. Another son Erik Welle-Strand was a resistance member too.
Welle-Strand continued to publish books after the war, from the 1950s concentrating on non-fiction books about Knut Hamsun. His last recorded release came in 1964.

Transport in Fukuoka-Kitakyushu
|
thumb|right|200px|Wakato Ferry between the straits
thumb|right|Kanmonkyo Bridge is a vital traffic link in the region
Transport in Fukuoka-Kitakyushu is similar to that of other large cities in Japan, but with a high degree of private transport. The region is a hub of international ferry services and has a high degree of air connectivity and a considerable rail transport network, complemented with highways and surface streets. It includes public and private rail and highway networks; airports for international, domestic, and general aviation; buses; motorcycle delivery services, walking, bicycling, and commercial shipping. The foci of the public transport system are Hakata Station, Tenjin Station, and Kokura Station, in Fukuoka and Kitakyushu cities respectively. Between these two cities lies a more sparse weblike regional rail network.
The transit network consists of 32 surface and subterranean railway lines (see section on rail transport) operated by several and private operators. Monorails, trams, fixed-guideway lines and buses support this primary rail network. Like other cities in Japan, walking and bicycling is common.
Rail transport
Overview
thumb|right|Nishitetsu 3000 series EMUs
thumb|right|Kyūshū Shinkansen
The passenger rail network in Fukuoka-Kitakyushu metropolitan area (see also Northern Kyushu) is dense around the cities of Fukuoka and Kitakyushu and Shimonoseki, declining in density between and around the two primary cities. Passenger railway usage and density is lower than that of Greater Tokyo or Keihanshin, with the region having a little less than 6 million people. Similar to other areas of Japan, few free maps exist of the entire network; only stations of a particular company are shown, along with key transfer points. The Sanyō Shinkansen serves as the backbone of intercity rail transport connecting Hakata and Kokura Stations to Honshu. Kyūshū Shinkansen lines are completed on March 12, 2011, running to Kagoshima.
There are 33 operating passenger rail lines and a tourist-oriented cable car line in the Fukuoka-Kitakyushu area .

Maritime transport
Major area seaports include:
Port of Hakata
Port of Shimonoseki
Port of Kokura
Port of Shin Moji
Passenger ferries
See List of ferry operators in Japan.
International
Because of its geographic proximity to Korea and China, the region is the major hub in Japan for international passenger ferries. Pukwan Ferry, Camelia Line, and high-speed ferry Beetle (JR Kyushu), Kobee operate out of both Hakata and Shimonseki, there are also ferry services to Shanghai and Dalian in China, Busan, Ulsan in Korea.
Regional Domestic
There are ferry services to Tsushima Island as well as major Japanese cities (such as Hiroshima, Osaka, Matsuyama, Tokushima, Kōbe and Tokyo) from Fukuoka, Kitakyushu, and Shimonoseki ports.
Cross Strait/Local
Within the Kanmon-Kitakyūshū area, there are three commuter ferry lines: the Wakato Ferry, the Kanmon Straits Ferry, and the Kanmon Straits Liner. There are services to some small islands near Kitakyushu and Fukuoka from their respective cities as well.
Shipping
Shipping plays a major role moving freight in and out of the Fukuoka-Kitakyushu area. Finished automobiles for export are handled by ports in the region. With just-in-time requirements of automobile manufacturers and suppliers, Kitakyūshū Airport plays an important role as a hub for cargo and logistics.
The region is home to three regasification LNG terminals.
Other modes
In addition to the primary modes of transport—rail, bus, road, air, and sea—Greater Fukuoka offers several other transportation options that contribute to its comprehensive transit network.
Cycling
Cycling is an increasingly popular mode of transport in Greater Fukuoka, particularly for short-distance travel within the city. Fukuoka City has invested in cycling infrastructure, including dedicated bike lanes and bike-sharing programs. The “Chari Chari” bike-sharing service, for example, allows residents and visitors to rent bicycles from various locations across the city, promoting an eco-friendly and healthy alternative to motorized transport. The city’s relatively flat terrain makes it conducive to cycling, and many residents use bicycles for commuting, shopping, and recreational activities.

thumb|Marc Mortier
Marc Mortier (9 December 1948 – 3 May 2004) was CEO of Flanders Expo from its foundation in 1986 to 2002. Flanders Expo is the biggest event hall in Flanders, and the second biggest in Belgium (Flanders Expo's indoor surface is 55,000 m²). Mortier later became president of Febelux, the Federation of Exhibitions in Belgium and Luxemburg. Until 2002, many concerts took place in Flanders Expo. Hall 8's capacity is more than 13,000 people.
Musicians who have performed at Flanders Expo include Tina Turner (12 times), Phil Collins, Bryan Adams, Prince, Elton John, Britney Spears, Paul McCartney, Joe Cocker, Whitney Houston, Barry White, U2, Nick Kamen, Eros Ramazzotti, Bon Jovi, Metallica and AC/DC. Flanders Expo is also the host of Europe's biggest indoor techno party (I love Techno) with more than 60,000 visitors in one day.
Mortier was an active member of the board of the soccer team K.A.A. Gent from 1988 until his death in 2004. After the degradation in 1988, Mortier consulted the Prime Minister of Belgium, Wilfried Martens, in order to establish an organisation named Foot Invest, to get the team back on track. Marc Mortier gathered at that time more than 50 million Belgian francs (1.25 million euros) in sponsoring in a couple of months and introduced VDK Spaarbank as the main sponsor.
Mortier also was a member of the Board of 'Voetbalmagazine' (the Belgian national soccer magazine), 'Flanders Sports Arena, 'King Baudouin Foundation', 'The International Year Exposition of Flanders', 'The Festival of Flanders', and the Rotary Club (who honoured him individually with a Paul Harris Fellow One Star).
Mortier died in hospital of a heart attack on 3 May 2004. He was 55, and was survived by his wife, Sylva Van der Stricht, and his three children, Caroline, Frederik and Bernard Mortier.
