title: 2011 Italian referendums

abstract: A nationwide abrogative referendum was held in Italy on 12 and 13 June 2011, on four questions concerning the repeal of recent laws regarding the privatisation of water services, a return to the nuclear energy which had been phased out after the 1987 referendum, and criminal procedure, specifically a provision exempting the Prime Minister and the Ministers from appearing in court. The first aim of those campaigning for a yes vote was to ensure that the quorum of the electorate was reached. Collecting the needed 500,000 signatures started in April 2010. In two months che signatures deposited where 1,4 milion. The Italian Supreme Court validated two questions about water issues in January 2011 and ruled the referendum to be held on 12–13 June 2011. The Italians with the right to vote numbered 47,118,352, in addition to 3,300,496 Italians resident abroad. In order for the quorum to be reached, at least 25.209.425 votes for each question had to be cast. Turnout, while below general election records, was higher than it had been for any referendum since 1995; on 12 June 2011, turnout had reached 11.64% at midday, and 30.32% at 19.00, indicating that the necessary quorum would likely be reached. When polls closed on 13 June 2011, turnout was 56.9%, with clear majorities of 94.6% to 96.1% in favour on all questions, meaning that about 53,8% to 54,7% of electorate approved them. Silvio Berlusconi, the then-Prime Minister, implicitly invited to boycott the vote in the hope that the required quorum would not be met.

# 2011 Italian referendums

A nationwide abrogative referendum was held in Italy on 12 and 13 June 2011, on four questions concerning the repeal of recent laws regarding the privatisation of water services (two questions), a return to the nuclear energy which had been phased out after the 1987 referendum, and criminal procedure, specifically a provision exempting the Prime Minister and the Ministers from appearing in court. The first aim of those campaigning for a yes vote was to ensure that the quorum (50% + 1) of the electorate was reached.

Collecting the needed 500,000 signatures started in April 2010. In two months che signatures deposited where 1,4 milion. The Italian Supreme Court (Court of Cassation) validated two questions about water issues in January 2011 and ruled the referendum to be held on 12–13 June 2011.

The Italians with the right to vote numbered 47,118,352 (22,604,349 men and 24,514,003 women), in addition to 3,300,496 Italians resident abroad. In order for the quorum to be reached, at least 25.209.425 votes for each question had to be cast.

Turnout, while below general election records, was higher than it had been for any referendum since 1995; on 12 June 2011, turnout had reached 11.64% at midday, and 30.32% at 19.00, indicating that the necessary quorum would likely be reached. When polls closed on 13 June 2011, turnout was 56.9%, with clear majorities of 94.6% to 96.1% in favour on all questions, meaning that about 53,8% to 54,7% of electorate approved them. Silvio Berlusconi, the then-Prime Minister, implicitly invited to boycott the vote in the hope that the required quorum would not be met.

### High offices of the Republic

The President of the Republic Giorgio Napolitano declared he would take part to the referendums, without revealing his intentions regarding the votes.

The President of the Senate of the Republic Renato Schifani underlined the importance of the vote as a form of democratic participation and said he would vote.

The President of the Chamber of Deputies Gianfranco Fini declared he would vote.

The President of the Council of ministers Silvio Berlusconi declared he would not vote. His statement, "the Constitution gives the right to citizens to say yes or no to the referendum, but also to say 'I do not mind this question, I do not vote'", was considered an implicit invitation for his electorate to abstain, so that the referendums would fail quorum.

# 2012 Sicilian protests

The **2012 Sicilian protests**, also code-named by its organizers as **Operation Sicilian Vespers** (in Italian: *Operazione Vespri siciliani*), was a 5-day blockade of roads and seaports that brought Sicily and its economy to a standstill in January 2012. Similar protests affecting wider areas of Italy broke out in December 2013.

The code name of the blockade refers to the Sicilian Vespers, the successful 13th-century rebellion against Angevin rule.

## Organizers

**Shock Force** (in Italian: *Comitato Forza d'Urto*) is a Sicilian political grouping, which organized Operation Sicilian Vespers, the 5-day blockade of roads and seaports that brought Sicily and its economy to a standstill in January 2012.

Under the *Shock Force* umbrella other organizations are also represented, such as the **Pitchforks Movement** (in Italian: *Movimento dei Forconi*), an informal grouping of farmers, shepherds and breeders, as well as the Sicilian Trucking Association (in Italian: *Associazione Imprese Autotrasportatori Siciliani*, AIAS), an association representing truck drivers and small logistics business interests. The founder of the Pitchforks Movement was Martino Morsello, a 57 year-old former Socialist councillor of Marsala.

From the very first day, the blockade was strengthened and widely supported by workers and small businesses in other sectors, such as the fishing industry, the building industry and also by Sicilian students.

The Pitchforks Movement presents itself as "non-political" and "against party politics." Unusually, the protest was joined by members of both far-right and far-left political organisations.

### Goals

## Blockade events

The blockade started on 16 January, when roads, motorways and the gates of the major ports all around Sicily were blocked. A strategic target for the protesters were Sicilian refineries, which are responsible for 42% of Italian fuel production. A fuel shortage on the island soon followed.

On 16 January 2012, the *Pitchforks Movement* joined *Operation Sicilian Vespers,* which, while blockading most of the main roads and seaports of the island, led to the suspension of most economic activities in Sicily.

There are reports of the blockade gaining a foothold in mainland Italy, in Calabria and even as far north as Pescara. The blockade is having a negative impact also for the economy of the neighboring Malta.

The other main association involved in the blockade, the **Sicilian Trucking Association** (in Italian *Associazione Imprese Autotrasportatori Siciliani*, AIAS) must suspend the blockade after the fifth day, January 21, as per the Italian law, but the *Pitchforks Movement*, as other members of the *Shock Force*, may decide to continue indefinitely.

## Accidents

* On January 17, in Lentini a protester was slightly injured in the face by a small truck driver who was not joining the blockade.
* On January 19, near Catenanuova, one protester was left with his foot stuck under the wheel of a truck that had tried to break the blockade.
* On January 24, near Asti, during the blockade of the Pitchfork movement, a truck driver hit a protester participating in the blockade, killing him instantly.

# Baltimore Banners

The **Baltimore Banners** were a charter franchise of World Team Tennis (WTT) founded in 1974. The Banners lasted only one season but made a big splash by signing Jimmy Connors to a contract for $100,000 which obligated Connors to play in 22 of their 44 matches. Despite the presence of Connors, the Banners had 16 wins and 28 losses, and finished in third place in the Atlantic Section missing the playoffs. The Banners were contracted by WTT on February 1, 1975.

## Team history

The Banners were founded as WTT's charter franchise for Phoenix, Arizona in 1973, by Gary Davidson. Before the team ever had a name in Phoenix, Davidson sold it to Howard Fine, Gerald Klauber, Joseph Rivkin and Robert E. Bradley Jr. The new owners relocated the team to Baltimore, Maryland with a plan to have it play its home matches at the Baltimore Civic Center starting with the league's inaugural season in 1974 season and name it the Baltimore Banners.

The first 10 draft choices in the WTT inaugural draft made by what was at that time still the Phoenix franchise were

| Round | No. | Overall | Player chosen |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | 4 | 4 | Jimmy Connors |
| 2 | 13 | 29 | Betty Stöve |
| 3 | 4 | 36 | Janet Newberry |
| 4 | 13 | 61 | Bob Carmichael |
| 5 | 4 | 68 | Barry Phillips-Moore |
| 6 | 13 | 93 | Janice Metcalf |
| 7 | 4 | 100 | Joyce Williams |
| 8 | 13 | 125 | Dick Crealy |
| 9 | 4 | 132 | Lost draft choice |
| 10 | 13 | 157 | Joaquín Loyo Mayo |

The first match in Banners history was a 35–20 home victory against the Hawaii Leis on May 8, 1975. The Banners started the season strong and had a record of 5–3 after eight matches. However, after a quarter of the season had passed, the Banners lost 23 of their final 33 matches to finish with 16 wins and 28 losses, third place in the Atlantic Section.

Banners superstar Jimmy Connors had the highest game-winning percentage in men's singles for the 1974 WTT season. Connors was not allowed to participate in the 1974 French Open due to his association with WTT. His exclusion from the French Open denied him the opportunity to become the first male player since Rod Laver to win all four Major singles titles in a calendar year.

The Banners struggled mightily to draw fans at home. Only 761 people showed up for their second home match of the season. The attendance for their final home match of the season was just 1,065.

At the WTT owners meeting on February 1, 1975, each team was required to post a $500,000 letter of credit. The Banners failed to do so and were contracted by WTT. A dispersal draft was conducted to distribute the players among the remaining teams in the league.

## Roster

Jimmy Connors was the only Banners player to have been enshrined in the International Tennis Hall of Fame.

# 2015 Washington Spirit season

The **2015 season** was **Washington Spirit'**s third season of existence in which they competed in the National Women's Soccer League, the top division of women's soccer in the United States.

## Review

Building off 2014's playoff achievement, the Spirit added a few key contributors including midfielder Joanna Lohman (from Boston Breakers), defenders Megan Oyster (drafted out of UCLA) and Katherine Reynolds (from Western New York Flash), and Nigerian international Francisca Ordega (signed from Piteå IF). The season also served as the breakout year for Crystal Dunn who was awarded the 2015 NWSL Golden Boot Award, scoring 15 goals during the campaign.

The Spirit finished the 2015 season with a record of 8-6-6 and repeating their 4th place league position. The playoff result, again, ended in an away loss to Seattle in the semifinals.

At the conclusion of the season, Mark Parsons stepped down as head coach and general manager to take over as coach of the Portland Thorns FC.

title: Bartolomeo Maria Dal Monte

abstract: Bartolomeo Maria Dal Monte was an Italian Roman Catholic priest who exercised his pastoral mission in his home town of Bologna. He established the Opera Pia Mission as part of the missions. He preached in around 62 Italian dioceses and founded his own to prepare diocesan priests for the missions with the emphasis that Jesus Christ was the center of all missionaries as integral to the function of the missions. He emulated the example of Leonardo da Porto Maurizio for his preaching abilities. Dal Monte was beatified on 27 September 1997.

# Bartolomeo Maria Dal Monte

**Bartolomeo Maria Dal Monte** (3 November 1726 – 24 December 1778) was an Italian Roman Catholic priest who exercised his pastoral mission in his home town of Bologna. He established the Opera Pia Mission as part of the missions.

He preached in around 62 Italian dioceses and founded his own to prepare diocesan priests for the missions with the emphasis that Jesus Christ was the center of all missionaries as integral to the function of the missions. He emulated the example of Leonardo da Porto Maurizio for his preaching abilities.

Dal Monte was beatified on 27 September 1997.

## Life

Bartolomeo Maria Dal Monte was born in Bologna on 3 November 1726 as the fifth child to the peasant Anna Maria Bassani. Four of his siblings had died earlier before him. His birth and first week of life was a success after his mother requested the intercession of Francis of Paola.

His childhood was one in which his parents protected him as their most precious addition. He received his Confirmation on 26 April 1733 from the Archbishop of Bologna Cardinal Prospero Lorenzo Lambertini who became Pope Benedict XIV. He commenced his studies under the Jesuits and studied humanities. His religious calling soon formed and he informed his parents of this to which his father opposed. He had chosen Leonardo da Porto Maurizio as his model and devoted himself to the priesthood.

He was ordained to the priesthood on 20 December 1749. He served as a diocesan administrator in 1749 at the behest of Pope Benedict XIV. The latter also requested that Dal Monte continue his studies and he graduated in theological studies on 30 December 1751. He undertook work for the missions and preached in a total of 62 Italian dioceses. In 1774 the Cardinal Vicar of Rome Marcantonio Colonna called him to preach in Piazza Navona for the Jubilee of 1775. He established the Opera Pia Missions in order to prepare the diocesan priests for the missions.

Pope Pius VI wanted Dal Monte to take up residence in Rome but he refused to cease his mission of evangelization. He even offered to travel to the missions in India but his superiors dissuaded him to do so due to his precarious state of health. He continued work in his own mission and wanted its members to be apostles of Christ as those on hand to preach to all.

Dal Monte predicted that he would die at Christmas and the prediction came to pass for he died hours before on 24 December 1778 after the Archbishop of Bologna Andrea Gioannetti visited him.

## Beatification

The beatification process commenced under Pope Leo XIII on 22 January 1890 with the commencement of two local diocesan processes in Bologna that granted him the posthumous title Servant of God \- the first stage in the process. It saw the collection of documentation and witness testimonies in order to compile the Positio for evaluation in Rome. Both processes were ratified before the documents could be sent to the Congregation of Rites.

Pope Benedict XV proclaimed him to be Venerable on 23 January 1921 after he recognized that Dal Monte had lived a life of heroic virtue.

Pope John Paul II approved a miracle attributed to his intercession on 11 June 1995 and beatified him on 27 September 1997.

# 2012 Sierra Leonean general election

General elections were held in Sierra Leone on 17 November 2012. The result was a sweeping victory for the ruling All People's Congress. Its leader, incumbent president Ernest Bai Koroma, won 58.7% of the vote, enough to win a second term without the need for a runoff. The APC also won 67 of the 112 elected seats in Parliament. To date, it is the APC's best showing at an election since the restoration of multiparty politics in 1991.

## Candidates

In April 2007, the APC endorsed incumbent Ernest Bai Koroma for a second term. He was challenged by former President and general Julius Maada Bio of the Sierra Leone People's Party. On July 31, 2011, Bio defeated Usman Boie Kamara for the party's nomination.

In the elections for the twelve Chief seats in Parliament, only four were contested.

## Results

### President

Koroma won 59% of the vote in the first round, exceeding the 55 percent threshold required to win the presidency in a single round.

#### By-elections

Three seats were left vacant, with no election taking place in constituencies 5, 12 and 92 (Western Area Rural District). The election was delayed in Western Area Rural District due to the death of PMDC candidate, and a by-election was held on 9 February 2013. The result was a victory for the APC candidate, who received 61% of the vote.

## Aftermath

Results showed Koroma winning in the first round of voting, receiving 58.7% of the vote against 37.4% for the SLPP candidate, Bio. If he had received less than 55% of the vote, a second round would have been necessary. Following the announcement of results, Koroma was promptly sworn in for another term as President on 23 November 2012. He said that he would "continue to attract investment" and "continue to fight corruption".

# Farm to Market Road 466

**Farm to Market Road 466** (**FM 466**) is a farm to market road, a state maintained road which serves to connect the agricultural area Leesville-Belmont to market towns, in the U.S. state of Texas. It is located in Guadalupe and Gonzales counties. The road is 34.4 miles (55.4 km) long. Locally it has been known as Capote Road for more than 100 years.

## Route description

The road begins at an intersection with US 90 on the east side of Seguin, crosses US 90 Alt., heading south to cross the Guadalupe River. From there, it goes east, passing through Monthalia. At Cost, it joins SH 97, just south of Gonzales.

Capote Road passes through a rural area that at one time was heavily farmed. In more recent years more of the sandy land has been given over to pastures, and reverted to post oak woodlands, which support a good population of wildlife, including wild turkeys and deer. The Guadalupe River runs more or less parallel a mile or two to the north, much of its bottomlands filled with pecan orchards. Old Baldy and the other Capote Hills rising above the flatlands provided a landmark for travelers in the pioneer days. Wildflower season sees groups of phlox and fields of bluebonnets, rose cups and buttercups, then gaillardia or Indian blankets, and sunflowers and nettles in the summer, sometimes punctuated by clusters of colorful blossoms on prickly pear cactus.

## History

FM 466 was originally designated for 5.5 miles (8.9 km) from Seguin to Canton Creek, on July 9, 1945, following Capote Road, which had already been in use for 150 years or more.\[1\] It crossed the Guadalupe River where there had been an "old bridge". That bridge was replaced by a new bridge around 1970. On January 29, 1949, FM 466 was extended north from US 90 Alt. to US 90. On May 23, 1951, FM 466 was extended east 2.0 miles (3.2 km). On December 18 of that year, FM 466 was extended east 6.1 miles (9.8 km). On May 2, 1962, FM 466 was extended east to the Gonzales County line. On May 24, 1962, FM 466 was extended to Cost connecting with FM 108, just south of Gonzales, replacing FM 1297. On January 27, 1968, the section from US 90 to US 90 Alt. was cancelled. On November 25, 1976, FM 466 was extended north from US 90 Alt. to US 90, undoing the last change.

Capote Road connected El Capote Ranch in the Capote Hills of eastern Guadalupe County with the old town of Seguin. (See the Historic Marker at entrance to the ranch). El Capote Ranch began with a Spanish land grant. In 1840 it was bought by Michael Erskine, who took cattle drives to California in 1854 and 1861.

After the Civil War, freed slaves who had worked for their master in a pottery began their own operations on Capote Road. H. Wilson & Company become the first successful business owned by African Americans in Texas (Historic Marker at Capote Baptist Church.)

At Cost, less than a mile after FM 466 meets SH 97, a memorial marks the location of the Battle of Gonzales between Mexican soldiers who had come to reclaim a cannon loaned to the Anglo settlers to fight off Indians. The settlers flew a defiant flag of a cannon, a star, and the words "Come and Take It" as exchanged fire with the Mexicans, who soon withdrew. These were the first shots fired in the struggle for Texas Independence. A 100-year-old marker with bronze and stone sculptured reliefs by the Italian-born San Antonio artist Pompeo Coppini marks the spot. (Coppini sculpted the Cenotaph at the Alamo, the Littlefield Fountain at the University of Texas, the "Sul" Ross statue on the Texas A&M campus, and the Sam Houston Grave Monument, among many other works.)

* **Dale Renout** is a Baptist clergyman. He has a bachelor's degree in religious education and described himself as working toward a Master of Divinity in 2006. He has served on the Grand Erie board's special education committee. Renout has run for public office on four occasions. He ran for the Brant County Public School Board and its successor Grand Erie District School Board in 1994, 2000, and 2006, and also for the Brantford city council's fifth ward in 1997. Renout wrote an equivocal public letter on the invasion of Iraq in 2003, saying that he was "not a proponent of war" but adding that, in his view, some justice was needed for the victims of Iraq's regime. Although Renout was personally opposed to same-sex marriage, he described some same-sex marriage opposition in Canada as "hate mongering" and called for churches to focus on humanitarian issues. In 2006, he wrote in favour of continuing Canada's military mission in Afghanistan. He has been critical of both the federal Conservative Party and the federal Liberal Party for their records in office.

# Atanasije Dimitrijević Sekereš

**Atanasije Dimitrijević Sekereš** (Serbian Cyrillic: Атанасије Димитријевић Секереш) or **Athanasius Demetrovich Szekeres** (18 January 1738, in Győr, today's Hungary – 30 April 1794, in Vienna, Austria) was a Serbian jurist, writer, and first Serbian Orthodox priest and later Uniate cleric, and Imperial-Royal Illyrian Court Deputation Councilor and censor of all Serbian, Romanian, Greek and Armenian books printed in the Habsburg monarchy. A proponent of enlightened absolutism, he held the office of censor of the Illyrian Deputation for two decades and was responsible for printing and reprinting hundreds of books during the reigns of Maria Theresa, Joseph II, Leopold II, and Francis II.

## Biography

He was born in Györ on the 18 of January 1738 and baptized in the Serbian Orthodox Church. His father, a small peasant-farmer, died when Atanasije was in his teens. He was brought up to farm work, but he cultivated all his leisure in reading, and when he was seventeen entered the University of Vienna Law School where he picked up Latin and German. Gradually, and by dint of infinite patience and concentration, the young man became a master of many languages, namely German, Hungarian, Romanian, Greek, Slovak, Russian, and Old Church Slavonic, all languages commonly read and spoken in the empire among Eastern Orthodox Slavs and their co-religionists. Atanasije was a pragmatist who eventually in mid-1776 converted to Roman Catholicism (Uniate) in order to secure his future. But, from then on he became one of the most hated and vilified persons amongst his compatriots in Habsburg lands and even in other neighboring Serbian lands, then under the Turkish yoke. It was that "struggle" that Sekereš alone chose to endure.

During his tenure as Austrian Royal censor of state publishing houses, he was responsible for printing and reprinting hundreds of textbooks, primers, catechisms, scholarly manuals, and popular literature for nationals who professed the Eastern Orthodox faith. Perhaps for Sekereš's lofty position, he was regarded with suspicion by most, though his friend Dositej Obradović, never doubted him.

He began his career as a censor in 1772 at the prestigious Publishing House of Josef von Kurzböck and a year later he got the lofty Latin title of *Excelsae Deputationis Caesareo-Regiae in Illyris Athanasius Demetrovich Szekeres* revisor. His mentors were Metropolitan Vićentije Jovanović Vidak and Adam František Kollár.

He was also active as a Serbian school reformer, translating most of the German textbooks, particularly those written by Johann Ignaz von Felbiger. He also collaborated with Teodor Janković Mirijevski.

On his watch, censorship was organized in a different way under his direction. He carried out a centralization of the censorship that was only partly successful, however, through his own design. He also tried to use scientific and rational aspects for the judgment of literature. He reprinted Slavic, Romanian, Greek and Armenian textbooks *en masse* for dissemination to all the district schools throughout the empire. Atanasije Dimitriejević Sekereš worked diligently at his office until the day he died on 30 April 1794 in Vienna.

## Works

He wrote and published "*Sokroviste slavjanskog jezika*", "*Monašskaja pravila*" (which appeared in 1777), "*Memoiri*". Also, he edited and published "*Itika Jeropolitika*" in Vienna in 1774. This miscellany of emblems, first printed in Kyiv in 1712, and for the express use of Serbian reading public, was reprinted, thanks to his efforts to leave a literary legacy for his fellow Slavs and others. The influence of this book can be seen both in the printing and in poetry (the poetry of Jovan Rajić) of that period. Much later, this book was mentioned in the rhetoric of Avram Mrazović in 1821. The importance and the influence of the emblematic in Serbian baroque can also be seen both in the painting art, graphic art, and in the newspaper articles of that period, as well.
