Rocío Dúrcal

María de los Ángeles de las Heras Ortiz (3 October 1944 – 25 March 2006), better known as Rocío Dúrcal, was a Spanish singer and actress with a career spanning more than four decades. She performed pop music, bolero, mariachi and romantic ballads and is widely regarded as one of the greatest Spanish singers of all time. Popular across Mexico and Latin America, she earned the sobriquet of Reina de las Rancheras ("Queen of Rancheras").

In 1999, Rocío Dúrcal was inducted into the Hall of Fame for her versatility and anthemic songs. In 2005, Dúrcal received a Latin Grammy Award for musical excellence, a prize that is awarded by the Governing Board of the Recording Latin Academy to artists who have made creative contributions of outstanding artistic significance during their careers. Also in 2005 Rocío received the Life Achievement Award at the Spain's Music Awards, organized by The Spanish Society of Authors and Publishers (Sociedad General de Autores y Editores, SGAE). In 2023, Rolling Stone ranked Dúrcal at number 139 on its list of the 200 Greatest Singers of All Time.

Career
Dúrcal began her artistic career by participating in various radio song festivals and competitions, secretly supported by her paternal grandfather, who always believed in her talent and became her first fan. In 1959, with the approval of her parents, she participated in the television program Primer Aplauso, broadcast by Televisión Española. The theme that she chose for the contest was the traditional song "La sombra vendo". Luis Sanz, a Madrid manager who watched the show, was impressed by her talent and personality. Sanz contacted the program for the name and the address of the young contestant. Her stage name Rocío came from what Dúrcal said was a nickname her grandfather gave her because she reminded him of morning dew (rocío matutino). For her stage surname, she and Sanz looked at a map of Spain on which she randomly pointed out the town of Dúrcal, in the province of Granada.

Acting
Her first film was Canción de Juventud (1962) directed by Luis Lucia. The plot of the film portrayed a teenager with her own personality. The movie scored huge box office and critics success. This success was repeated in other Spanish-speaking countries where the movie was shown. Immediately Dúrcal became the star of Rocío de La Mancha. Following this, she got her first record deal with transnational Phonogram (now Universal Music). The songs the artist played in both films served to make her first album, Las películas de Rocío Dúrcal (1962).

In Dúrcal's third film, Tengo 17 años (1964), she put aside her role of "child star". That same year, she appeared in her first theater play, Un domingo en Nueva York, in which she was revealed as a great theatrical actress. In 1965 she filmed Más bonita que ninguna; the band Los Brincos wrote some songs for the movie. In 1966, she shared the spotlight with Enrique Guzmán in the film Acompáñame. She began to perform duets with such singers as Jaime Morey and Amalia de Isaura. Then she co-starred in the film Amor en el Aire (1967) with the then young Argentine singer-songwriter Palito Ortega. In 1968 she filmed Cristina Guzmán, the first of her films that was aimed at an audience over 18.

Her last film was with Bárbara Rey in Me Siento Extraña in 1977.

Singing
In 1969, Dúrcal married Filipino-born musician Antonio Morales (known professionally as Júnior), who would manage her singing career. In 1972, Antonio Morales began a series of television shows in Spain and Latin America singing with his wife as a duet. Their first child, Spanish actress Carmen Morales de las Heras, was born in December 1972. After the birth of their second child, Antonio Morales de las Heras, in March 1974, Morales decided to give up his career to devote time to their children. Dúrcal meanwhile continued her film and singing career. In 1979 she had her third child, Shaila Morales de las Heras, who took up a singing career under the stage name of Shaila Dúrcal and is also a successful singer.

In 1977, Dúrcal signed a contract with Ariola Eurodisc (with singer-songwriter Camilo Sesto supporting her in her projects) dedicating herself to the musical career. That year, while in Mexico, she met the Mexican singer-songwriter Alberto Aguilera Valadez, better known as Juan Gabriel, who decided to record a whole album of rancheras performed by Rocío Dúrcal entitled Rocío Dúrcal canta a Juan Gabriel. Without further advertising, the LP received high levels of sales, so Dúrcal and Juan Gabriel considered the possibility of a new recording together. They ended up doing 5 LPs, marking the revival of Rocío Dúrcal as a singer. The final collaboration between Dúrcal and Juan Gabriel emerged in 10 albums. Dúrcal's album named Canta A Juan Gabriel Volumen 6 (1984) is among the top ten best-selling albums in the history of Mexico. For this album Rocío Dúrcal received her first Grammy Award nomination.

The collaboration of Dúrcal with Juan Gabriel was interrupted by disagreements between the artists and because of problems of Juan Gabriel with his record label, so Dúrcal continued to record albums with other songwriters such as Marco Antonio Solís and Rafael Pérez Botija (who produced for her, and wrote most of the songs for, the ballads album, Confidencias). In 1988 she recorded the album Como Tu Mujer with producer Marco Antonio Solis.

In 1990, she recorded her first album on CD format entitled Si te pudiera mentir. In 1991, Durcal offered a concert at the National Auditorium in Mexico City, recorded in a double disc El Concierto... En Vivo. Between 1992 and 1993 she recorded the album Desaires, produced by the Mexican singer and songwriter Joan Sebastián. In this album she reprises ranchera.

In 1995, she launched her production Hay Amores Y Amores, with songs written and produced by the Argentine Roberto Livi. For this album she was nominated again to the Grammy Awards in the category "Best Latin Pop Album". In 1997 the double album Juntos Otra Vez brought Rocío Dúrcal and Juan Gabriel together again for the last time. That album was made by an engagement with the record company and not by the desire of both artists to continue to cooperate.

In 1998, under the direction of her discoverer Luis Sanz, Dúrcal starred in the Spanish TV show Los negocios de mamá, broadcast by Televisión Española. In 2000, she celebrated 40 years in the industry. In that year she returned to ranchera music with the album Caricias, under the production of songwriter and producer Bebu Silvetti. In 2001 Rocío Dúrcal recorded Entre Tangos Y Mariachi, again produced by Bebu Silvetti, an album that includes 10 of the most famous Argentine tango arrangements interpreted with ranchero/bolero style like her previous album. In the summer of 2001 Dúrcal made a successful tour in Spain, 13 years after her last Spanish performance.

After a year and a half absence, she returned to the stage on 19 September 2002 with a concert at the National Auditorium in Mexico, which was recorded in a double album that was released on CD and then on DVD on 22 October 2002, En Concierto... Inolvidable. The album was nominated for a Latin Grammy Award. In 2003, the artist received another Latin Grammy Award nomination for her album Caramelito, produced by Kike Santander. In May 2004 she returned to Spain to record what would be her last album, Alma Ranchera, which was nominated for a Latin Grammy Award.

Illness and death
In 2001, after recording her album Entre Tangos y Mariachi, Dúrcal was diagnosed with uterine cancer. Dúrcal canceled her tours while undergoing medical treatment, and resumed touring in 2002. In 2003, from Spain, she collaborated with the Mexican singer Julio Preciado for a duet in the song "Si nos dejan" included in his album Que me siga la tambora.

Rocío Dúrcal died on 25 March 2006 at the age of 60 from uterine cancer at her home in Torrelodones, Madrid. She was cremated and a portion of her ashes were scattered in Spain while the remainder of her ashes were deposited into a crypt at Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City, the same place where years later a portion of the ashes from her husband Antonio Morales who died in 2014, were also deposited next to her.

Finos Film

Finos Film (Greek: Φίνος Φιλμ) is a film production company that dominated the Greek film industry from 1943 to 1977. It was founded by Filopimin Finos in 1942 during World War II. It was the biggest film production company in Greece at the time and one of the biggest, in terms of productivity, in southeast Europe. After 34 years, Finos Films returned to the Greek film scene with the Greek-Italian co-production 'Urania' (2006). Additionally, the company re-releases its old movies on DVD completely remastered and in Dolby digital 2.0 sound on a monthly basis.

History
In 1954 Finos moved his company's headquarters for the last time to the old soap factory building of Papoutsanis at 53 Chios Street, near the Larisis station. In the neoclassical building of Chios Street, the workshops are developed, from the appearance to the final copy (displays, editing, mixing, etc.), the offices and the production planning of the company. At the same time, Finos is looking for bigger sets since the needs of the production are constantly increasing. The ATLANTIS site, as it was named because it was next to the old ATLANTIS cement factory, in the Thymarakia area of Liosion Street, no longer meets the needs of the company.

In 1958, the company's new platforms began operating in Agios Anargyros, in the Mykoniatika region. It was the old stables of Ioannis Merla. Their reconstruction took more than two years. There were two sets, one big and one small, as well as a warehouse, a carpentry shop, dressing rooms and a large enclosure that served the possibility of building a city set, as it happens in the movie Lola, where the whole Trumpet has been built in the enclosure of the sets. The studios were close to the urban fabric and at the same time isolated. Most of the films of the company's golden period were shot on the sets of Aghii Anargyri. When there were many films and the grouping did not work out, they also used the Anzervos studio in Filothei, which was demolished before 2004 and was one of the first studios in the country, financed with a loan from the National Bank.

All this happened until 1970, when the new studios of the company were inaugurated in Spata, which were a big dream of Finos, who according to his colleagues wanted to make a Greek Tsinetsita. As part of this vision Finos sent an architect and associates to Cinecita in Rome to get information about the construction of the platforms - one can discern architectural similarities with the Cinecita platforms. The new studios consisted of two large stages and all the necessary spaces of a corresponding band. In the 1970s it was considered one of the best sets in Europe and for the moment it seemed that it would offer even more rapid growth to domestic film production.

But then, from 1972-1973 onwards, social and economic reasons of the time, with the dominant cause being the development of television, as well as Fino's inability to create business partnerships and operate in the spirit of the new era caused a great crisis in Greek cinema, by which Finos Film was seriously hit. After the death of its founder in 1977, the company was mainly concerned with renting out its films and operating the sets in order to pay off the huge debts. The studios of Finos Film in Spata are still today among the largest sets in the country and the only cinematic architectural example (together with Studio Alfa in Melissia) of a company that operated in the model of centralization of film production, just like the big American and European studios from the 1930s to the early 1960s.

Antonio de Trueba

Antonio de Trueba (24 December 1819 – 10 March 1889) was a Spanish poet, novelist, and folklorist.

Life
He was born in Galdames (at the quarter of Montellano), Biscay, in 1821 (some sources say 1819), where he was privately educated.

In 1835 he went to Madrid to learn business; but commerce was not to his taste, and, after a long apprenticeship, he turned to journalism, hoping to make a livelihood by literary pursuits. To earn his daily bread he discharged the duties of a clerk in a small commercial house, but all the while he beguiled his leisure and his moments of regret by writing little poems and tales redolent of the yearnings and sympathies of a Basque transplanted to the busy cosmopolitan center.

Won over to him by the charm of his writings, Queen Isabella II made him historiographer of the Biscayan district, and he held this post until her flight in 1868. He was reinstated after the restoration.

In 1851 he hit the popular taste with El Cid Campeador and El Libro de los Cantares. His popularity was fixed by the appearance of his first collection of lyrics, the Cantares (Madrid, 1852), and for the next eleven years he was absorbed by journalistic work, the best of his contributions being issued under the titles of Cuentos populares (1862), Cuentos de color de rosa (1864), and Cuentos campesinos (1865). Other collections of his tales, especially charming when they deal with his native region and its people, appeared in 1859, 1860, and 1866. The pleasant simplicity and idyllic sentimentalism of these collections delighted an uncritical public, and de Trueba met the demand by supplying a series of stories conceived in the same ingenious vein.

The 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia considers de Trueba a second-rate writer, but praises the pastoral sentiments of his poetry. His works contributed to the development of the novel of manners in the Spain of the 19th century.

He died at Bilbao.

KUSF (University of San Francisco)

KUSF is an online-only radio station owned by the University of San Francisco and operated by its students. From 1963 until 2011, the station was a non-commercial radio station licensed to San Francisco, California, broadcast at 90.3 FM MHz.

KUSF history
KUSF began in 1963 as a campus-only AM station managed by the Associated Students of the University of San Francisco (ASUSF). In 1973, the University of San Francisco (USF) was offered an FM radio station by a small local Bible college that wished to discontinue its radio operations. USF accepted the offer and on April 25, 1977, KUSF became an FM station broadcasting on the 90.3 frequency. The old AM station later became the student-managed KDNZ.

Originally broadcasting six hours a day, KUSF began broadcasting 24 hours a day in 1981. In its early days KUSF was a conventional college station, broadcasting programs of interest to the university and greater San Francisco community. However, KUSF soon garnered attention by playing new underground music: it was one of the first radio stations to play punk rock. Many now-famous acts also first gained exposure on KUSF, most notably The B-52's and Metallica.

In addition to Metallica, the program Rampage Radio (hosted on Saturday nights on KUSF from midnight to 5AM by Ron Quintana) was responsible for helping launch the careers of heavy metal bands, or giving them their first exposure in San Francisco, such as Iron Maiden, Queensrÿche, Megadeth, Venom, Slayer, Suicidal Tendencies, Anthrax, Overkill, Manowar, Accept, Anvil and Raven, as well as local Bay Area acts Y&T, Metal Church, Exodus, Possessed, Testament, Death Angel, Forbidden, Lȧȧz Rockit, Vio-lence and Heathen.

On January 18, 2011, USF announced plans to sell the 90.3 FM frequency to the Classical Public Radio Network, which is owned by the University of Southern California. In addition, USC announced that it had reached an agreement with Entercom Communications to take over the intellectual property of local classical outlet KDFC (102.1 FM), and moved the station's programming to the 90.3 FM frequency. The KUSF intellectual property remained with USF, which launched an upgraded online-only station. The KUSF call sign now belongs to a radio station (91.3 FM) licensed to serve Glendale, Oregon, United States. Upon announcement of the sale, KUSF locked its doors, shut down its website temporarily and went off the air.

On February 8, 2011, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted 8-3 to oppose the sale.

A group of former KUSF volunteers formed KXSF San Francisco Community Radio, a low-power FM station broadcasting at 102.5fm in San Francisco. KXSF began broadcasting on September 4, 2018.

Programming
The station's musical programming varies from rock to hip-hop to world music. New music programming is broadcast Monday through Friday from midnight to 6 PM. Cultural programming takes over weekdays from 6 PM to midnight, and all day Saturday and Sunday.

Awards and recognition
KUSF was nominated for "College/Non-Commercial Radio Station Of The Year" in the 2008 PLUG Independent Music Awards. In July 2000, KUSF was named one of twenty recommended radio stations in the United States by US Airways' "ATTACHE" magazine. KUSF possesses Gold Records from groups including R.E.M., the Bangles, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Cowboy Junkies, Midnight Oil, the B-52's, and Love and Rockets. KUSF has received numerous for the long-running community service series that is broadcast weekly. A Certificate of Merit was awarded to KUSF by the American Heart Association for outstanding service in stimulating public support in the fight against heart disease. On June 7, 1998, San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown held "Fighting Back Day in San Francisco" in honor of KUSF's community service series for senior and disabled citizens. The mayor also held "KUSF 90.3 FM Stereo Day In San Francisco" on April 25, 1998, KUSF's birthday. KUSF was the recipient of the National Association of College Broadcasters' National College Radio Award for "Best Community Service Programming" in 1993-94. KUSF was named Best Radio Station by SF Weekly in 2001, 2003,2004, 2006, and 2007.

Events
KUSF sponsors Rock-n-Swap, a large record collectors' fair held five times a year on the USF campus. Rock-n-Swap features music-related items of all kinds, including but not limited to vinyl albums, CDs, DVDs, books, and posters. All proceeds benefit KUSF. KUSF holds numerous concerts in the Bay Area.

Staff
KUSF is currently managed by Miranda Morris. The station staff primarily includes students at the university.

Ola Svenson
Comment - The authenticity of this page is in dispute. Apparently, there is a real Lake Wobegon effect, and there is a real Ola Svenson (googling on the name "Ola Svenson" in conjunction with "Wobegon" produces a few google hits, all of which cite an academic paper written by Ola Svenson in 1981. This page was originally flagged for a speedy delete, claiming it as an obvious hoax.  I'm not 100% certain of that, given the seeming existence of the "Lake Wobegon effect" as an apparently genuine term used in the psychological sciences.

Of course, it may very well be a hoax. I'm not saying it isn't. I'm just not convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is. So I've removed the "Speedy Delete" flag and put it up for a vote. Extreme Unction 21:16, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. So she published a paper. Nothing special. I can't even find her on the Uni's website; they don't appear to have a psychology department for a start. Having a 'famous' big sister does nothing for you. Notability is not inherited. I turned up no Googles on a join Uni+name search. So we have WP:V problems for a start and WP:PROF problems at the end. Supposing she's even a prof. -Splash 23:24, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
 * The (near-nonsensical) pseudo-academic jargon may give the impression of legitimacy, but that Ola is claimed to have have a brother who is a noted "ichthyologist who did a dissertation on the illusive characteristics of Lutefisk and also did a comparative study on the puzzling relationship between aquavit and lutefisk" gives it away as a joke. Ola is a male name, BTW, but it's a common mistake among non-Scandinavians to assume the opposite. Ola Svenson is a real Swedish psychologist (born 1939), a professor at Stockholm University, and has published quite a lot (homepage). He probably deserves an article, but this is not it.

Way of the Tiger

The Way of the Tiger is a series of adventure gamebooks by Mark Smith and Jamie Thomson, originally published by Knight Books (an imprint of Hodder & Stoughton) from 1985. They are set on the fantasy world of Orb. The reader takes the part of a young monk/ninja, named Avenger, initially on a quest to avenge his foster father's murder and recover stolen scrolls. Later books presented other challenges for Avenger to overcome, most notably taking over and ruling a city.

The world of Orb was originally created by Mark Smith for a Dungeons & Dragons game he ran while a pupil at Brighton College in the mid-1970s. Orb was also used as the setting for the 1984 Fighting Fantasy gamebook Talisman of Death, and one of the settings in the 1985 Falcon gamebook Lost in Time, both by Smith and Thomson.

Each book has a disclaimer at the front against performing any of the ninja related feats in the book as "They could lead to serious injury or death to an untrained user".

The sixth book, Inferno!, ends on a cliffhanger with Avenger trapped in the web of the Black Widow, Orb's darkest blight. As no new books were released, the fate of Avenger and Orb was unknown. Mark Smith has confirmed that the cliffhanger ending was deliberate.

In August 2013, the original creators of the series were working with Megara Entertainment to develop re-edited hardcover collector editions of the gamebooks (including a new prequel (Book 0) and sequel (book 7)), and potentially a role-playing game based on the series. The two new books plus the six re-edited original books were reprinted in paperback format by Megara Entertainment in 2014, and made available as PDFs in 2019.

Books and publication history
The original series comprises six books:
 * Avenger! (1985)
 * Assassin! (1985)
 * Usurper! (1985)
 * Overlord! (1986)
 * Warbringer! (1986)
 * Inferno! (1987)

The sixth book ended on a cliffhanger, which was not resolved until 27 years later. Interviewed in 2012, Mark Smith explained: "Our publishers Hodder and Stoughton originally had signed for seven books but they cancelled the last in a fit of pique, which is why Inferno! ends so unsatisfactorily – they re-wrote the end themselves to kill the series. The story here is that the then CEO of Hodder, Eddie Bell, left to become CEO of Harper Collins ... He took us with him so that we could write the DuelMaster series for Harper Collins and Hodder revoked the contract for Book #7 in revenge. They said it was for commercial reasons, but the series was still successful and reprinting."

Ninja! (a prequel by David Walters) and Redeemer! (by all three writers) were added in 2014.

The books could be played in sequence or as standalone adventures, although playing them in sequence preserves the continuity of the storyline. If played in sequence, any abilities, bonuses, penalties or special items Avenger had acquired carried over to the next book.

The expanded eight-book series consists of the following titles (the first and the last having been printed many years after the original six):

 * 1) Ninja! by David Walters
 * 2) Avenger! by Mark Smith & Jamie Thomson
 * 3) Assassin! by Mark Smith & Jamie Thomson
 * 4) Usurper! by Mark Smith & Jamie Thomson
 * 5) Overlord! by Mark Smith & Jamie Thomson
 * 6) Warbringer! by Mark Smith & Jamie Thomson
 * 7) Inferno! by Mark Smith & Jamie Thomson
 * 8) Redeemer! by David Walters, Mark Smith & Jamie Thomson

Features
The series featured a combat system based on unarmed fighting moves with colourful names, such as the Cobra Strike punch, or Leaping Tiger kick. Avenger could also choose from a list of ninja skills such as Acrobatics or Poison Needle spitting, and used a variety of appropriate weaponry, such as a garotte and shuriken. Luck also played in part in the form of Fate tests to see if Fate smiled on you, or turned her back. Avenger could also enhance his skill by using "Inner Force", similar to qi energy.

During the series Avenger could learn new skills, such as "Shinren," a means of understanding people's intentions by observing subtle clues.

Characters
The books had a large number of opponents and recurring characters.

Enemies

 * Tyutchev, Cassandra and Thaum – A trio of chaos worshippers, who revere the chaos god Anarchil. They are recurring antagonists of Avenger throughout the series. Those three characters are also featured in Fighting Fantasy book 11, Talisman of Death, where they oppose the player for the titular item.
 * Cassandra – A warrior noted for her beauty, speed and swordsmanship. Wields a magical coldsword and wears a patchwork armor suit.
 * Tyutchev – This thief wears a magical cloak that blends with the dark, and wields a bastard sword taller than he is. His hair is dyed a bright corn yellow.
 * Thaum – a master of magic and especially illusion. "Devious looking" and wears a large gold earring.
 * Olvar the Chaos Bringer – A chaos-worshipping barbarian warrior and friend of Tyutchev, Cassandra and Thaum. His death at Avenger's hands (after an unprovoked attack by Olvar) leads to the feud between Avenger and the chaos worshippers. Wears a magical headband that can fire lightning bolts, and feels no pain in combat due to his bloodlust.
 * The Monks of the Scarlet Mantis – An order of evil monks who worship Vile, Kwon's evil brother. Like the followers of Kwon, the members of the Scarlet Mantis are consummate martial artists.
 * Yaemon, the Grand Master of Flame – Head of the Monks of the Scarlet Mantis, an order of monks opposed to the monks who follow Kwon. At the beginning of the series he has been Grand Master for more than twenty summers. He slew Avenger's foster father Naijishi and stole the Scrolls of Kettsuin. Possibly the most deadly martial artist on Orb, Yaemon is allied to Manse the Deathmage and Honoric, the leader of the Legion of the Sword of Doom and in the first book, Avenger, your quest calls for you to defeat Yaemon and so avenge the death of your father.
 * Aiguchi the Weaponmaster – A monk of the Scarlet Mantis and a master of weapons, he challenges Avenger to a duel in the Ring of Vasch-Ro to avenge the death of Yaemon. Expert with the bow, naginata and nunchaku.
 * Mandrake, Guildmaster of Assassins – Worships Torremalku the Slayer, the patron god of assassins, and is the most deadly assassin on Orb. "No-one has ever survived his attention." Master of disguise and acting.
 * Manse the Deathmage – An evil sorcerer and worshipper of Nemesis, Manse can cast many different spells, including the nearly always fatal "Finger of Death". Has been known to practice child sacrifice. In the prequel Ninja, he also appears as a behind-the-scenes antagonist, plaguing Avenger and his fellow contestants with his evil magic.
 * Honoric, Grand Marshal of the Legion of the Sword of Doom – One of the most feared military commanders and most evil men on Orb. A peerless swordsman, it is said he once slew a storm giant singlehandedly. Wields Sorcerak, an intelligent magical sword forged by his patron deity that dispels magic, causes fear in its wielders opponents, and enables its wielder to fly.
 * The Ninja of the Way of the Scorpion – A group of evil ninja who worship Nemesis and follow the Way of the Scorpion, an evil counterpart to the Way of the Tiger. Unlike the disciples of the Tiger, the Scorpion Ninja specialize in the use of various weapons.
 * The Grandmaster of Shadows – The leader of the ninja who follow the Way of the Scorpion. Uses deception, trickery and his ability to create magical darkness in combat.
 * The Impostor – A Scorpion Ninja who is sent to Irsmuncast to establish a rule of evil while Avenger is absent on a quest in the Rift. Equipped by Irsmuncast's priests of Nemesis with two magical items which formerly belonged to Mandrake.
 * Everyman – A golem bodyguard which is stolen and sent to kill Avenger. It is said that he must be killed one hundred times before he can die.
 * The Fiend – Sent by the gods of evil to capture Avenger's soul.
 * Astaroth, Seventh Duke of Hell – "The Usurper", the ruler of Irsmuncast nigh Edge who seized power after Avenger's real father (the rightful ruler of Irsmuncast) was slain by Yaemon.
 * Foxglove – The beautiful leader of the Order of the Yellow Lotus and priestess of Nemesis in Irsmuncast. Cunning and manipulative, she at times attempts to seduce the Avenger, but is not to be trusted. In Inferno! and Redeemer! she has become a slave of Nullaq in the Rift.

Allies

 * Doré le Jeune – A paladin and ally of Avenger. Undertakes regular expedition to the Rift to combat Evilspawn.
 * The Followers of Kwon – An order revering Kwon the Redeemer, dedicated to combating evil on Orb. The order consists of both monks and ninja, all of them skilled in unarmed combat techniques. Following their banishment from the Island of Plenty during the Black Lotus Rebellion, the order settled on the Island of Tranquil Dreams.
 * Gorobei – A monk and fellow worshipper of Kwon. Expert wrestler and skilled martial artist, although not as fast as Avenger. In Ninja and Avenger, he is a contestant for the title of Grandmaster of the Five Winds, the inner circle of the order's supreme masters.
 * Parsifal – The head monk of Kwon in the city of Irsmuncast nigh Edge. He is murdered by Mandrake, and his likeness adapted by the assassin in an attempt on Avenger's life.
 * Aiko – A female ninja like Avenger, and a contestant for the title Grandmaster of the Five Winds in Ninja. She is killed by Manse the Deathmage, and her spirit is subsequently captured for a foul necromantic ritual.
 * Daon – Another contestant for the title Grandmaster of the Five Winds in Ninja. A temperamental young monk who fled the Island of Plenty as a young boy.

 * Togawa – A monk of Kwon and a mystic. Has knowledge of extremely powerful martial arts attacks, and can travel to the spirit plane. If Avenger visits him, the monk will teach a powerful new kick, "Kwon's Flail," which proves a valuable attack against enemies inexperienced with the move.
 * The Spirit Tiger – Kwon's servantess, who aids Avenger from the spirit plane.
 * Taflur, Thybault, Vespers and Eris – A group of adventurers who Avenger aids in their battle against an undead warlord, who in turn heal him of the plague and come to his aid in a confrontation with the worshippers of Chaos.
 * Force Lady Gwyneth – Leader of the Shieldmaidens of Dama in the city of Irsmuncast nigh Edge.
 * The Demagogue – Another faction leader in Irsmuncast Nigh Edge. While neither a warrior or skillful politician, he is a superb orator and crowd-swayer and considers himself the spokesman of the common people.
 * Csaky – Daughter of a Loremaster of Serakub, and Avenger's cousin, who makes her living as an adventurer using thieving skills (although she dislikes being called a thief, preferring the title "Wanderer").

Others

 * Runeweaver – A warrior who can fire magical bolts from his sword.
 * Antocidas the One-Eyed – Leader of the mercenaries in the city of Irmsuncast nigh Edge.

Gods
Aside from certain ancient titans called "Elder Gods", Orb is ruled by various deities.

Video games
Two video games based on the books were released. The first, The Way of the Tiger, is a beat 'em up released by Gremlin Graphics for the Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum, MSX, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64. This game has Avenger fighting with staves and swords as well as utilizing unarmed combat (Avenger rarely used weapons apart from shuriken in the books).

Way of the Tiger II: Avenger is an action-adventure made by Gremlin Graphics in 1986, for the computers Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum and MSX. In the game's story, Yaemon the Grand Master of Flame has killed the player's foster-father Naijish and stolen the Scrolls of Kettsuin. To recover the scrolls, the player has to find enough keys to penetrate the Quench Heart Keep, and then kill each of the three guards. The game is viewed from top-down perspective and superficially resembles Gauntlet.

Reception
Chris Elliott reviewed Assassin! and Avenger!' for White Dwarf #71, giving it an overall rating of 8 out of 10, and stated that "Plot and atmosphere may be a bit 'Kung Fu meets AD&D ', but both add a few new twists to the adventure gamebook formula, and deserve credit for that. Overall, good entertainment value."

In the inaugural issue of The Games Machine, John Woods noted that "the great appeal of these books is the detailed unarmed combat system. The rules have illustrations of the great variety of kicks, punches and throws available, and the player selects the best move to use against each opponent."

Talk:Twenty-third Dynasty of Egypt

Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment

Conflict
The list given here conflicts with most lists I have seen, which give Pedubast and Shoshenq IV (and sometimes Iuput I) as the first rulers of this dynasty, leave Takelot II in the 22nd Dynasty, and give Iuput II as the last ruler of the dynasty. Anyone want to comment? john k 21:09, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

The problem seems to be that the article does not list kings of the traditional 23rd dynasty, but kings of Upper Egypt during 22nd and 23rd dynasties. Which actually is a good thing. The text itself refers to "kingdom" (ie, Upper Egypt) and not actually to the 23rd dynasty which is an erroneous heading. As far as I understand, Manetho confused some kings into impractical division between dynasties. It is here attempted to corrected. But of course it does not correspond Manethonian list of 23rd dynasty (whose some kings reigned in Thebes and some in Delta). The modern research has afaik identified relaively well where their spheres where, apparently info which Manetho had not proper access to. (btw, actually Manethonian king lists - what are left as references in other opera - anyway missed some kings, who then have later been thrusted into some convenient place in dynasty divisions) Arrigo 22:49, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

Removed
I removed this:

His Year 13 is now attested on a donation stela at Dakhla which was made by the Chief of the Shamin-Libyans, Nes-Djehuti. Nes-Djehuti was most likely the same person who is named in the Smaller Dakhla Stela that dates to Year 24 of Piye. (see J. Janssen, JEA 54 [1968]) pp.161-66)

Moved
Moved from Libyan kings of Upper Egypt to Twenty-third dynasty of Egypt

There are a number of prominent Egyptologists who write that the 23rd Dynasty was based in Lower Egypt (Kitchen believes at Leontopolis (as even the Wikipedia article says), and Leahy at Tanis). It is not the job of Wikipedia to decide who is correct. Besides it seems a bit strange to call this Libyan Kings of Upper Egypt when Dynasty 25 is not called Nubian Kings of Upper Egypt, the 22nd Dynasty the Libyan Kings of Lower Egypt and so forth.

More clean-up needed
Hey, I know everyone wants to show off just how much they know about ancient Egyptian history (& prove they've read more than a simple amateur like me has), but let's keep the amount of detail on the specific rulers to a minimum -- the articles on those individuals is where we should be adding details & footnotes, not the tables in this article. If I remember a week from now, I'll take the time to move all of that stuff out of this article, but consider that I'm providing fair warning to all of you that I'll be making these changes to this article. -- llywrch 01:34, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I've reduced the size of the tables (looks like the other dynasty articles now), and will make sure the removed info goes into the individual articles. Markh 17:32, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Move discussion in progress
There is a move discussion in progress which affects this page. Please participate at Talk:First dynasty of Egypt - Requested move and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RM bot 23:40, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Timeline Issues
This article has several issues relating to dates. For one most of the kings on the list do not fit in with the set 837–728 time period for Dynasty 23. Furthermore, a Dynasty in the Egyptian sense does not necessarily represent a family, as in the traditional sense of the word but rather the country of Egypt during the earlier mentioned time period (notice the capital D in Dynasty in the title, as it is a proper noun). Any thoughts? HeathIsling 22:01, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

Camargue horse

The Camargue, Camarguais or Cheval de Camargue, is a traditional French breed of working horse indigenous to the Camargue area in southern France. Its origins are unknown. For centuries, possibly thousands of years, these small horses have lived wild in the harsh environment of the Camargue marshes and wetlands of the Rhône delta, which covers part of the départements of Gard and Bouches-du-Rhône. There they developed the stamina, hardiness and agility for which they are known today. Traditionally, they live in semi-feral conditions in the marshy land of the region. The Camargue horse is the traditional mount of the gardians, the Camargue riders who herd the black Camargue bulls used for courses camarguaises in southern France.

History
Some researchers believe the Camargue are descended from the Solutré horse hypothesised from archeological remains found in Burgundy. The Camargue horses were appreciated by the Celtic and Roman invaders who entered the Iberian Peninsula. Their genealogy is closely tied with Iberian horses, especially those of the northern part of the peninsula.

A breed society, the Association des Eleveurs de Chevaux de Race Camargue, was established in 1964. In 1976, to preserve the standards and purity of the breed, the French government set breed standards and started registering the main breeders of the Camargue horse. In 1978, they set up the breed stud book. To be registered, foals must be born out of doors and must be seen to suckle from a registered mare as proof of parentage. Foals born inside the defined Camargue region are registered sous berceau, while those born elsewhere are registered hors berceau ("outside the cradle" or "birthplace"). They have the heavy, square heads of primitive horses, but the influence of Arabian, Barb and Thoroughbred blood can also be seen. The gardians look after the horses, which are rounded up annually for health inspections, branding, and gelding of unsuitable stock.

The conservation status of the Camargue was listed in DAD-IS in 2023 as 'not at risk', based on a reported population in 2018 in France of just over $14,500$ head, including more than $7,100$ brood-mares and almost $1,800$ stallions. These figures are widely at variance with those provided by the Haras Nationaux, which for 2018 reports $200$ active stallions and $929$ mares mounted.

The population is concentrated in southern France. Of just over $600$ foals born and registered in 2017, almost $50 %$ were in Occitanie and over $40 %$ in Provence–Alpes–Côte d'Azur; of the remaining $7 %$, about half were born in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. Small numbers are also present in Germany, in Sweden and in the United Kingdom.

The Camargue horse was introduced in the 1970s to the Po delta in Italy, where under the name 'Cavallo del Delta' it is treated as an indigenous breed. In 2011 the registered population numbered 163.

Characteristics
Camargue horses are always grey. This means that they have black skin underlying a white hair coat as adult horses. They are born with a hair coat that is black or dark brown in colour, but as they grow to adulthood, their hair coat becomes ever more intermingled with white hairs until it is completely white. They are small horses, generally standing 135 – at the withers, and weighing 350 to 500 kg. Despite their small size, they have the strength to carry grown adults. Considered rugged and intelligent, they have a short neck, deep chest, compact body, well-jointed, strong limbs and a full mane and tail.

The head has many similarities to the Barb horse. It is often heavy, square and expressive, with bright, wide-set eyes, a straight profile, flat forehead and well-chiseled cheek bones. The ears are small, short, and set well apart. The forelock is full. The breed has a neck of medium length with an abundant maneThe chest is deep and wide, and the shoulder is powerful and muscular. The withers must be defined but not exaggerated. The Camargue horse has a medium length back, well-supported, and a slightly sloping full croup, well-muscled hindquarters, and a low set, full tail. The Camargue horse has long legs which are well proportioned, strong and resistant, with large knees and hocks. Their hooves are hard and tough, with soles that are large and wide, suited to its original marshy habitat.

Registration
Since 2003, three registration categories exist to identify Camargue horses:
 * Camargue: Horses registered in the stud book, foaled and identified in Camargue area, branded before weaning, and from a manade (a small, semi-feral herd structure). The berceau or cradle of the breed is strictly defined, and consists of 45 communes in the départements of Bouches-du-Rhône, Gard and Hérault.
 * Camargue hors manade: Horses registered in the stud book, foaled and identified in Camargue area, and not from a manade.
 * Camargue hors berceau: Horses registered in the stud book, foaled and identified outside of the Camargue area.

There exists a strong sense of regionalism in Camargue area, so registration for the horses is treated similarly to an Appellation d'origine contrôlée.

Terminology
There is a specific terminology in the Provençal dialect that is used when discussing Camargue horses:

Use
The Camargue horse is the traditional mount of the gardian. It is used for livestock management, particularly of Camargue cattle, and also in competitive Camargue equitation, in traditional activities such as the abrivado preceding the course camarguaise, and in many gardian games.

Their calm temperament, agility, intelligence and stamina has resulted in these horses being used for equestrian games, dressage, and long-distance riding, which is growing in popularity in France.

Film portrayal
The 1953 children's film Crin-Blanc, English title White Mane, portrayed the horses and the region. A short black-and-white film directed by Albert Lamorisse, director of Le ballon rouge (1956), Crin-blanc won the 1953 Prix Jean Vigo and the short film Grand Prix at the 1953 Cannes Film Festival, as well as awards at Warsaw and Rome. In 1960 Denys Colomb Daunant, writer and actor for Crin-blanc, made the documentary Le Songe des Chevaux Sauvages, "Dream of the Wild Horses". It featured Camargue horses and slow motion photography, and won the Small Golden Berlin Bear at the 1960 Berlin International Film Festival.

Bad Windsheim

Bad Windsheim (East Franconian: Winsa) is a historic town in Bavaria, Germany with a population of more than 12,000. It lies in the district Neustadt an der Aisch-Bad Windsheim, west of Nuremberg. In the Holy Roman Empire, Windsheim held the rank of Imperial City (until 1802). Since 1810 Windsheim is part of Bavaria. In 1961, it became a spa town and has since been called "Bad Windsheim".

Climate
The climate in this area shows only small differences between highs and lows, and there is adequate rainfall year-round. The Köppen Climate Classification subtype for this climate is "Cfb" (Marine West Coast Climate/Oceanic climate).

History
A document from 741 proves for the first time the existence of the town, then called Uuinidesheim. The name changed to "Windsheim" by linguistic development, meaning "the home of the wind".

In the late stage of World War II, a Volkssturm battalion took control of the town and refused to surrender to the approaching American troops, declaring Windsheim a "fortress". Demonstrations led by a number of women demanding the local Nazi representative in the town to uphold orders for the destruction of Bad Windsheim ahead of the Allied approach (early April 1945). American troops eventually captured the town after deploying fire bombs through aerial bombing. The civilian population was forced to flee from Windsheim under enemy fire. The town was rebuilt after the war.

Attractions
The town is known for its waters and spa, Franken-Therme, and an open-air museum, the Freilandmuseum, which brings together old farms and farmhouses from the area. On the first weekend in August every year Bad Windsheim is the location for an event called Weinturm Open Air, a concert on the top of a hill in the town. The town also features a war memorial in the form of a large statue of Roland.

Sons and daughters of the town

 * Georg Wilhelm Steller (1709–1746), physician and scientist who participated in the Great Northern Expedition
 * Johann Christoph Döderlein (1745–1792), theologian
 * Otto Strasser (1897–1974), politician, brother of Gregor Strasser
 * Erich Mühe (1938–2005), surgeon, founder of micro-invasive surgery in 1985
 * Nevio Passaro (born 1980), German-Italian singer and songwriter
 * Vyncint Smith (born 1996), American Football Wide Receiver in the National Football League (NFL)

Personalities who worked locally

 * Francis Daniel Pastorius (1651–1719), German lawyer and writers, he is considered to be the founder of the first German settlement in North America.

Yes

What is missing in this article?
The article gives a correct definition of U.S. Comics published in TPB form.

It probably needs two more sections:

 * One section comparing and linking with other forms of comic books in other countries, e.g., Japanese Mangas or Franco-Belgian "albums" (e.g., Tintin's)
 * One section recalling the history and evolution of the American TPB. How it started relatively recently. How collections of reprints (e.g., Marvel Treasury Edition's in 1974) predated the actual form.

Driving School

Driving School is a docusoap that was broadcast on BBC1 in the summer of 1997, which followed a group of learner drivers around Bristol and South Wales. The series was made on a reduced budget but shown in primetime, it created one of the first reality TV stars in Maureen Rees.

The series was created and directed by the British film and documentary maker Francesca Joseph and was narrated by Quentin Willson, who would later present the similar Britain's Worst Driver.

In October 2022, all six episodes of the original series were made available on BBC iPlayer.

Others
Teenager Danny wanted to pass his test so he could visit his girlfriend in Preston. Although he passed first time, he had already broken up with Jill.

An older lady called Joan passed her test at the beginning of the series (even though it took her a while to realise that she needed to put the car in Drive before the car would move), but had "lost her nerve" and needed lessons to rebuild her confidence.

The main instructors were Pamela Carr from Streetwise Driving School and independent Paul Farrall. The Andy1st driving school was also featured.

Celebrity Driving School
A four-part celebrity version was produced in 2003 in aid of Comic Relief. Celebrities taking part consisted of Gareth Gates, Paul O'Grady, Nadia Sawalha, Natalie Cassidy, Simon Day and Jade Goody. They found out live during the Red Nose Day telethon on 14 March if they had passed. None of them had. Mel Giedroyc was the narrator.

Scarlett's Driving School
In February 2023, BBC One started broadcasting a new version of the format called Scarlett's Driving School, this time featuring Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt and set around Teesside. The Telegraph reviewed the new programme and gave it a score of two stars out of five, with the headline reading "Bring back Maureen! Scarlett Moffatt's Driving School fails to get into gear".

Dinkelsbühl

Dinkelsbühl is a historic town in Central Franconia, a region of Germany that is now part of the state of Bavaria, in southern Germany. Dinkelsbühl is a former free imperial city of the Holy Roman Empire. In local government terms, Dinkelsbühl lies near the western edge of the Landkreis (or local government district) of Ansbach, north of Aalen.

Dinkelsbühl lies on the northern part of the Romantic Road, and is one of three particularly striking historic towns on the northern part of the route, the others being Rothenburg ob der Tauber and Nördlingen.

The town lies on the southern edge of the Franconian Heights and on the River Wörnitz, which rises in the town of Schillingsfürst. The population in 2013 was 11,315.

History
Fortified by Emperor Henry V, in 1305 Dinkelsbühl received the same municipal rights as Ulm, and in 1351 was raised to the position of a Free Imperial City. Its municipal code, the Dinkelsbühler Recht, published in 1536, and revised in 1738, contained a very extensive collection of public and private laws.

Reformation
During the Protestant Reformation, Dinkelsbühl was notable for being – eventually along only with Ravensburg, Augsburg and Biberach an der Riß – a Bi-confessional (i.e. roughly equal numbers of Roman Catholics and Protestant citizens, with equal rights) Imperial City (Paritätische Reichsstadt) where the Peace of Westphalia caused the establishment of a joint Catholic–Protestant government and administrative system, with equality offices (Gleichberechtigung) and a precise and equal distribution between Catholic and Protestant civic officials. This status ended in 1802, when these cities were annexed by the Kingdom of Bavaria.

Around 1534 the majority of the population of Dinkelsbühl became Protestant.

Thirty Years War
Every summer Dinkelsbühl celebrates the city's surrender to Swedish troops in 1632 during the Thirty Years' War. This reenactment is played out by many of the town's residents. It features an array of Swedish soldiers attacking the city gate and children dressed in traditional garb coming to witness the event. Paper cones full of chocolate and candy are given as gifts to children. This historical event is called the "Kinderzeche" and can in some aspects be compared with the "Meistertrunk" in Rothenburg. The name is derived from the two German words for "child" and "the bill for food and drink in an inn", and is called such because of the legend that a child saved the town from massacre by the Swedes during the surrender. The legend tells that when the Swedish army besieged the town, a teenage girl took the children to the Swedish general to beg for mercy. The Swedish general had recently lost his young son to illness, and a boy who approached him so closely resembled his own son that he decided to spare the town.

Present day
The film The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm (1962) was filmed on location in Dinkelsbühl.

The Werner Herzog film The Enigma of Kasper Hauser (German: Jeder für sich und Gott gegen alle; trans. Every Man for Himself and God Against All) premiered on 1 November 1974 in Dinkelsbühl, where it was originally filmed.

Main sights
Dinkelsbühl is still surrounded by the old medieval walls and towers. There exist a lot of outstanding attractions. The image of this town is very typical for a German town of the 15th to early 17th centuries.

 * St. George's Minster was built in the late 15th-century Gothic style to designs by Nikolaus Eseler. It is the largest hall church (one built without aisles) in the country.
 * St. Paul's, now a Protestant church, was rebuilt in the 19th century in the style of the far late Roman architectural style. It was originally part of a monastery.
 * The Castle of the Teutonic Order has a rococo chapel.
 * The so-called Deutsches Haus is the ancestral home of the Counts of Drechsel-Deufstetten. It is a fine specimen of the German renaissance style of wooden architecture.
 * Situated in front of the Minster is a monument to Christoph von Schmid (1768–1854), a 19th-century writer of stories for the young.
 * Museum of the 3rd Dimension is housed in the former city mill.
 * The Museum of History shows historical discoveries found within Dinkelsbühl and also has reconstructions of the ancient houses of the city. Since 2008, the museum has had a new domicile in the so-called "Steinerne Haus" from the 14th century. The official name is now: "house of history". While many of the artifacts are the same, the presentation is completely new.
 * The church of St. Vincent, which is 2 km outside the city.
 * The Summer Breeze Open Air heavy metal festival has been held in Dinkelsbühl since 2007.

People from Dinkelsbühl

 * Nikolaus von Dinkelsbühl (1360-1433), theologian, born in Dinkelsbühl.
 * Christoph von Schmid (1768–1854), writer of children's stories, born in Dinkelsbühl.
 * Friedrich von Hermann (1795–1868), economist and statistician, born in Dinkelsbühl.
 * Stefan Reuter (born 1966), football world champion in 1990, born in Dinkelsbühl.

Maureen Rees

Maureen Rees (born 25 February 1942) is a British television personality from Cardiff, Wales, who was Britain's first reality-television star. She became prominent in the late 1990s after her appearances in two series of the BBC One docuseries Driving School, which received 12 million viewers. The series followed several individuals, located in either Bristol or South Wales, during their driving lessons through to the undertaking of their driving exam. Prior to the series, the Reeses had spent hundreds of pounds (quantified by Rees as 80% of her income) on lessons and four failed practical tests. During the series, Rees twice more failed to pass the test, as well as the driving theory exam. During series, she received the nickname the driver from L.

Rees eventually passed on 6 June 1997, at the seventh attempt, in the last episode in an automatic, though after the series finished she also passed a test in manual-transmission vehicle.

Early life
Born on Milton Street in the Roath area of Cardiff, the first child of Beatrice and Thomas (d. 1992), Reese attended Court Road and Ninian Park schools. A brother, Tony, followed.

Aged 11, Rees began attending Grange Council School for Girls.

Other television appearances
After her notoriety, Rees presented the short-lived Really Useful Show, in which she learned car maintenance. She also appeared as herself in the sitcom Barbara, as well as travelling to the U.S. to be interviewed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. In 2001, she appeared as a chapel woman in the coming-of-age film Very Annie Mary, which was set in Wales. She appeared in an episode of the British radio show Confessions, hosted by Simon Mayo.

In 2004, she appeared in the Channel 5 series Back to Reality, a show featuring former stars of reality TV. She reached the final day, finishing as runner-up to Princess Diana's former lover James Hewitt.

Music single
Following her brief stint with fame, Rees released a single: a cover of Madness' "Driving in My Car". It reached #49 in the UK Singles Chart; the music video featured Rees driving Betsy, her powder-blue 1990 Lada Riva estate (although it was filmed sitting on a flatbed trailer to give the illusion that she was driving alone) and fronted a government awareness campaign to increase road awareness.

Personal life
Rees married David on 5 June 1965 at St Dyfrig and St Sampson's Church in Grangetown, Cardiff. The newlywed couple lived with Maureen's parents for two years, to save money for their own house. Maureen worked with her mother as a cleaner at the precision engineering firm Alfred Cook.

David also featured in Driving School, balancing his role at the local bus garage (where his father-in-law formerly worked) with giving his wife occasional driving lessons, in their Lada, which mostly did not go well. Examples include Rees' moving into the overtaking lane of a dual carriageway into the path of a car already in the lane, and accidentally running over her husband's foot. The couple have three children: Mandy, Hailey and Leighton. A local garage gave Rees an R-registration alpine green Lada Samara, which she named Rocky, for passing her manual driving test.

Rees was the subject of an episode of This is Your Life after her appearance in Driving School.

In 2001, Rees underwent hip-replacement surgery, which kept her off the road for seven months. She took refresher driving lessons again because she had "gone rusty".

Rees is a cancer survivor; she decided to learn to drive after overcoming cancer of the womb, which was discovered in 1987. She also needed a car because she decided to start her own cleaning company.

Solomon Hart Green

Solomon Hart Green (October 23, 1885 – April 13, 1969) was a Jewish Canadian politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1910 to 1914, as a Liberal, making him the first Jewish Canadian to serve in that legislature.

Green was born in Saint John, New Brunswick, and was educated at King's College in Windsor, Nova Scotia. He received a law degree in 1906. Green then relocated to western Canada, and in 1907 became the first Jew admitted to the legal profession in Manitoba. He was a member of the firm Chapman and Green, and continued his practice in Winnipeg for several decades.

He was elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1910 election, defeating incumbent Conservative John F. Mitchell by 620 votes in Winnipeg North. He won 27 of 35 polls in the constituency. The Conservatives won the election, and Green served as a member of the opposition for the next four years.

He was not a candidate in the 1914 election. He attempted to return to the legislature in 1915, but lost to Social Democrat Richard Rigg by 231 votes.

Green's biographical entry in the 1914 Canadian Parliamentary Guide lists him as "apparently the first Hebrew to take a seat in any Legislature in Canada". This is incorrect: Ezekiel Hart, who was in fact related to him, was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada in 1807 and 1808, although he was expelled from his seat because he was a Jew. Henry Nathan, a federal Member of Parliament from British Columbia in the 1870s, was also Jewish.

Green remained an active member of the Liberal Party of Canada after leaving the legislature, and organized meetings for Liberal candidates at Winnipeg's Torah Talmud Hall in the 1920s. He was president of the Winnipeg North Liberal Association in 1930, and supported his party's decision not to field a candidate against Labor incumbent Abraham Albert Heaps in that year's federal election. Green argued that a Liberal candidate could have split the anti-Conservative vote, and allowed the Conservative candidate to be elected.

The Liberals nominated a candidate in Winnipeg North for the 1935 election, and on this occasion Green campaigned against Heaps on the grounds that the latter was a socialist. Heaps won the election.

The University of New Brunswick's Faculty of Law now offers Hart Green Scholarships as entrance awards, in his honour.

To Have and to Hold (Johnston novel)

To Have and to Hold (1899) is a novel by American author Mary Johnston. Published by Houghton Mifflin, it was the bestselling novel in the United States in 1900.

Plot summary
To Have and to Hold is the story of an English soldier, Ralph Percy, turned Virginian explorer in colonial Jamestown. Ralph buys a wife for himself – a girl named Jocelyn Leigh –  little knowing that she is the escaping ward of King James I, fleeing a forced marriage to Lord Carnal. Jocelyn hardly loves Ralph and, indeed, she seems to abhor him. Carnal, Jocelyn's husband-to-be, eventually comes to Jamestown, unaware that Ralph Percy and Jocelyn Leigh are man and wife.

Lord Carnal attempts to kidnap Jocelyn several times and eventually follows Ralph, Jocelyn, and their two companions – Jeremy Sparrow, the Separatist minister, and Diccon, Ralph's servant –  as they escape from the King's orders to arrest Ralph and carry Jocelyn back to England. The boat they are in, however, crashes on a desert island, but they are accosted by pirates, who, after a short struggle, agree to take Ralph as their captain, after he pretends to be the pirate "Kirby". The pirates gleefully play on with Ralph's masquerade, until he refuses to allow them to rape and pillage those aboard Spanish ships.

The play is up when the pirates see an English ship off the coast of Florida. Ralph refuses to fire upon it, knowing it carries the new Virginian governor, Sir Francis Wyatt, but the pirates open fire, and Jeremy Sparrow, before the English ship can be destroyed, purposefully crashes the ship into a reef. The pirates are all killed, but the Englishmen (and women) are rescued by the Governor's ship.

Aboard the ship, Ralph is tried for piracy after Lord Carnal tells the Governor that he ordered the destruction of the ship, but Jocelyn, having come to love Ralph, speaks for him. Her words are so persuasive that the Governor believes her and frees Ralph. They return to Virginia, though Ralph is forced to remain in a jail per the King's orders.

Ralph is lured into a trap, though, by Lord Carnal and is subsequently captured by Indians, but not before putting up a fight and seeing Lord Carnal terribly wounded. The brother of Pocahontas, the Indian Nantauquas, rescues him and Diccon, but only to inform them that all the Virginian Indians plan to massacre the Jamestown settlers. As they are on their way back to Jamestown, Diccon is shot and killed by a hostile Indian, and Ralph is left alone to brave his way back. Returning to the colony, he gives his information, only to be told that Jocelyn had made her way to the forest in search of him after his absence was noticed, with Jeremy Sparrow, and that they had not been found. It is also discovered that Lord Carnal has taken poison and will die within a week.

Jamestown is saved, thanks to Ralph's almost-too-late warning, and after things are stabilized, Ralph goes in search of Jocelyn and the minister. After a long and seemingly fruitless search, Nantauquas himself, though he had turned traitor, leads Ralph to where Jocelyn is staying. The two are reunited, and at the end of the story intend to go to England, where Jocelyn's lands have been restored to her and they can finally live in peace.

Publication history

Rubén Zamora

Rubén Ignacio Zamora Rivas (born November 9, 1942) is a Salvadoran politician.

Education

 * until the age of nineteen he studied in a Seminary, got influenced by the theology of liberation, was attracted by ecclesial base communities, where the formation of peasant collectives and self-help communities began.
 * He completed a law degree abroad.

Politician
After some time in exile, Rubén Zamora returned to El Salvador in November 1987 and helped to found the Convergencia Democrática (CD), a center-left electoral coalition that, still in the midst of the civil war, competed in the 1989 elections. Its willingness to compete marked an attempt to reestablish a peaceful center-left. In the first presidential election following the civil war in 1994, Zamora was the presidential candidate for the leftist coalition that included the former guerrilla Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front. He finished in second place with 25% of the vote. In subsequent years he has run for office with various incarnations of center-left parties, such as the Centro Democrático Unido (CDU - United Democratic Center). During the 1990s, he served as Vice President of the National Assembly and as a member of the National Peace Commission, and he founded and led the Centro Democrático Unido party. Zamora has taught political science at the University of El Salvador, Universidad Centroamericana, Universidad San Carlos, and Universidad Rafael Landivar (both in Guatemala), Essex University, and Stanford University. He has published many works on Salvadoran politics, including El Salvador, heridas que no cierran: Los partidos políticos en la post-guerra, and La izquierda partidaria salvadoreña: Entre la identidad y el poder.
 * His efforts for the rural poor soon faced with the repression of the ruling oligarchy of landowners (Argolla de oro) and military.
 * In 1960 he joined the Christian Democratic Party (PDC), founded by José Napoleón Duarte.
 * Ahead of the presidential elections of 1972, the PDC joined together with other opposition groups, the social democratic MNR and the further to the left Unión Democrática Nacionalista (UDN, fundada en 1969), the Unión Nacional Opositora (UNO). Duarte ran for the presidency, MNR leader Guillermo Ungo for the office of vice president.
 * He was a member of the cabinet of the Salvadoran government Revolutionary Government Junta of El Salvador following the October 15, 1979 coup, but he resigned in early 1980 to protest the escalation of repression as the horrific civil war was breaking out. His brother, Mario, was serving as Attorney General when he was assassinated by a right wing death squad on February 23, 1980. After resigning from government, Rubén Zamora helped found the Frente Democrático Revolucionario (FDR) in April 1980.

Serving as the Ambassador of El Salvador to The United States, he was known for his humble nature.
 * On 2013-04-12 he was designated ambassador to Washington, D.C., where he was accredited on 2013-04-16 until he was accredited as Permanent Representative to the Headquarters of the United Nations in New York City on 2014-09-18.

Universal Joint Task List

The Universal Joint Task List, more commonly known as UJTL, is a comprehensive list of possible military tasks at the strategic, operationals and (joint) tactical level of war. The UJTL was developed for the U.S. Armed Forces but it has been used by several other countries and international military organizations such as NATO, sometimes in adapted form and under different names, but usually including the term "task list".

The UJTL is meant to be a tool in operational planning and similar forms of military planning. It gives a menu of capabilities (mission-derived tasks with associated conditions and standards, i.e., the tools) that a joint force commander may select to accomplish the assigned mission. Once identified as essential to mission accomplishment, the tasks are reflected within the command joint mission essential task list.

Levels in UJTL
The UJTL consists of a large number of hierarchically organized military tasks groups in four levels of warfare:
 * Strategic National level (SN)
 * Strategic Theater level (ST)
 * Operational level (OP)
 * Tactical level (TA)

The tasks in the list are labeled SN, ST, OP or TA to show which level of warfare they refer to.

Example of organization of UJTL tasks
An example of the hierarchical organization of the UJTL:
 * Among the operational level tasks, there are seven top-level tasks, labelled OP 1 through OP 7. OP 1 is "Conduct Operational Movement and Maneuver".
 * Subordinate to OP 1, there are six tasks labelled OP 1.1 through OP 1.6, of which OP 1.1 is "Conduct Operational Movement".
 * Subordinate to OP 1.1, there are three tasks labelled OP 1.1.1 through OP 1.1.3, of which OP 1.1.2 is "Conduct Intratheater Deployment and Redeployment of Forces within the Joint Operations Area".
 * Subordinate to OP 1.1.2, there are two tasks labelled OP 1.1.2.1 and OP 1.1.2.2. OP 1.1.2.1 is "Conduct Airlift in the Joint Operations Area".

The depth of task levels is not the same everywhere: unlike OP 1.1.2, OP 1.1.1 "Formulate Request for Strategic Deployment to a Joint Operations Area" does not have any subordinate tasks, and the same is true for OP 1.6 "Conduct Patient Evacuation".

Connie (TV series)

Connie is a 1985 British television drama series. Produced by Central Television for the ITV Network, it starred Stephanie Beacham in the title role. 13 episodes were made which were broadcast throughout the summer of 1985.

Series history
Written by Ron Hutchinson as a dry commentary on Thatcherite values in the 1980s, the series was set in the East Midlands garment industry and tells the story of a woman returning to the United Kingdom from Greece after eight years in self-imposed exile. She is determined to claw back control of her chain of high street clothes shops that are now controlled by her stepsister, and also get her foot back into the "House of Bea", a family-owned garment factory run by her father and stepmother, which is now losing money.

The series is chiefly memorable for the high-octane performance of Stephanie Beacham as the eponymous Connie, snarling her way through such camp, metaphorical 1980s capitalistic dialogue as "My spoon is going into the gravy, my snout is going into the trough. I'm having some of that."

It was partly on the strength of Connie that Beacham won the role of Sable in The Colbys, the spin-off series from the American primetime soap opera Dynasty, which subsequently led to a high-profile career for her in American television.

Other notable castmembers in the series included Pam Ferris as Connie's conniving stepsister Nesta, George Costigan as her ex-husband Arnie, Richard Morant as her new love interest David Jamieson, Brenda Bruce as her stepmother Bea and Paul Rogers as Hector, Connie's father. Actor Ronald Lacey, best known for his role as the villainous Nazi agent Arnold Toht in Raiders of the Lost Ark, appeared in several episodes as Crawder, a corrupt, wealthy industrialist with whom Connie must tangle.

Reception
Writing in The Guardian, TV critic Nancy Banks-Smith gave the opening episode a positive review, depicting the series as a "gritty soap" and stating that the writing has a "nice citrus bite to it, sharp and funny." She praised the cast as "strong", and opined that Beacham "has a whiff of big cat about her."

DVD release
Network released the full 13-part series on DVD as a 4-disc set on 24 September 2012. The set includes a photo gallery as a bonus feature.

Novelisation
A tie-in paperback novelisation of the series, also written by series creator Ron Hutchinson, was published by Methuen in 1985.

Theme song
The theme song entitled "The Show" was written by playwright/composer Willy Russell and series creator Ron Hutchinson, and performed by Rebecca Storm. It was released as a 7" and extended 12" single by Towerbell Records in June 1985 and reached number 22 on the UK Singles Chart.

It was later covered by Kate Rusby in 2020, appearing on her album Hand Me Down.
