Peter Roe is a rugby league footballer who played in the 1970s and 1980s, and coached in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. He played at club level for Keighley, Bradford Northern, York and Hunslet, as a , and coached at club level for Keighley (three spells), Halifax, Barrow (two spells), Swinton (two spells), Featherstone Rovers and Wakefield Trinity.

Early life
At an early age, Roe played football and was given a trial at Manchester United. Roe had also received interest from Sheffield United, but he suffered a back injury in an accident which prevented him from playing sport for 12 months. Once Roe had recovered, he had turned his attention to playing rugby league instead.

Playing career

Keighley
Roe started his professional career at Keighley and was promoted to the first team in 1974. Whilst at Keighley he represented Yorkshire at the age of 18.

Bradford Northern
In December 1975, Roe was transferred to Bradford Northern for a fee of £7,500. He played 99 games under Roy Francis and Peter Fox, who coached the team to back-to-back championships. His playing position was at . Roe was selected to play for Great Britain in France but had to pull out due to a serious knee injury and subsequently had to retire prematurely from the game when Bradford Northern cashed in their insurance policy (£30,000) on Roe in 1981. Roe proved the medical people wrong and fought his way back to fitness but was not allowed to play again for Bradford Northern due to the legalities of the payout. He finished his playing career with York and Hunslet.

Coaching career
He began his coaching career at Keighley, taking over from the late Geoff Peggs who 'died in office' in 1985. He left the following year.

Peter Roe was appointed as head coach at Halifax for season 1990-91 when they achieved promotion along with Salford who were their opponents in the Divisional Final at Old Trafford. Roe was removed from office 24-hours later when he refused to re-apply for his own job. The Halifax board stated that he did not have the required experience for a club in the top division. He returned to Keighley in September 1991 and coached the club to the division three title in 1992-93 and stayed at his home town club until 1994.

He was coach of Barrow for a 15-month period, ending in January 1996.

Peter Roe led Swinton to promotion from Division Two in 1996.

Peter Roe was in charge of Featherstone Rovers from 1999 to October 2001 on a part-time contract, before leaving to take charge of Wakefield Trinity. He was replaced at Featherstone Rovers by his assistant Ian Fairhurst.

In October 2001, Roe left his part-time role as Featherstone Rovers coach and his job as a benefit fraud investigator to take up a full-time head coach post with Wakefield Trinity. He was sacked in July 2002 and was replaced by his assistant Shane McNally.

Peter Roe quit as coach of Swinton in September 2003, after less than a year in charge.

In Peter Roe's second spell with Barrow, they were National League Two champions in 2004, their first trophy for 20 years with 14 wins from their 18 games. Roe won Coach of the Year in the process. They were promoted to National League One but were relegated back to National League Two at the end of the 2005 season after winning just one of their 18 matches. The financial situation at the club forced a review of the coaching structure and the position of head coach was made part-time and the club parted company with Peter Roe.

Peter Roe returned for his second spell in charge of Keighley at the end of 2005, succeeding Gary Moorby and starting the rebuilding process of a club still ravaged by relegation from National League One. The majority of players had left and money was in short supply. player-coach Barry Eaton was the only major signing and promising youngsters were blooded; the side struggled to compete and they finished joint-bottom. Roe gave Eaton full control as player-coach in 2007.

Montagrier () is a commune in the Dordogne department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France.

Population

Sights
The Romanesque church was formerly a priory church.  It contains a tenth-century inscription on a plaque, and the precincts now form a pleasant small park.  Little remains of the walls which once surrounded the village. Unusually, for such a small place, Montagrier also has two chapels. Services are still held at Saint Sicaire, on the opposite end of the village from the church. There is also a tiny former chapel next to the auberge which is now used as an information centre. It is opposite the site of the castle (of which only the ruins of the stables remain). The chapel may have served the castle in the Middle Ages. During the Hundred Years War, the castle was in the possession of the Montagus, then resident in England.

Montferrand-du-Périgord (, literally Montferrand of the Périgord; ) is a commune in the Dordogne department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France.

The Church of St Christophe – 11th century
The Church of St Christophe is an original village church and is a remarkable survivor with original wall paintings. It is located inside the cemetery on the hill south of the settlement. Although it is unclear exactly when or why the community left this location, local legend has it that a terrible plague outbreak may have been to blame. Up until the Revolution in 1847, when the church down in the village was completed, it was still in use as the Commune church.

The bell tower dominates the site. The nave was once almost four times longer and higher than the remaining portion, reaching as far as the extant arched memorial (located on this site to reflect the original length). The traces of the original roof on the west of the wall tower can still be seen. Yet again, there is no documentation of what transpired to the nave or why it was cut off. The inside plaster paintings that were lost are a significant loss, but a rich cultural feast remains intact.

An external scratched drawing of a fish skeleton on the south wall is a prominent component of the 11th Century. The 12th Century saw the construction of the Romanesque arch that now encloses the nave, and the 13th Century saw the addition of the circular apses to the original design. The three windows in the middle of the chancel arch are original, while further window openings were built during this period.

Medieval wall paintings
The Universe is represented by the Moon and Sun, which are painted with human features and laid in a bed of stars on the ceiling in the remaining Romanesque vault of the nave. Christ is depicted perched on a throne above the Chancel, giving his blessing while being encircled by the traditional representations of the four Evangelists. A lion represents St Mark; St Matthew by a winged man; St John by an eagle; and St Luke by a bull painted in fiery red. The Annunciation—with the Angel Gabriel bending down before Mary—and St. Christopher, the patron saint of the church, carrying Jesus across a ford with his staff in full bloom—are depicted in the paintings in the left-hand bay. Triangular geometric figures underneath this image have unknown symbolism in modern times. The primary painting on the north wall is a 15th-century depiction of Hell, with Leviathan (the sea monster) consuming the damned and a woman astride a lion heading towards him (a symbol of lust).
Only two of the twelve apostles are still visible in a large picture of the Last Supper that once covered the opposite (south) wall.
There are numerous further, in-depth pictures, including one of St. Leonard freeing the prisoners.

Valentina Nicholaevna Sanina Schlee (1 May 1899 – 14 September 1989), simply known as Valentina, was a Ukrainian émigrée fashion designer and theatrical costume designer active from 1928 to the late 1950s.

Early years
Schlee was born and raised in Kiev, Russian Empire (modern-day Ukraine). She was studying drama in Kharkiv at the outbreak of the October Revolution in 1917.  She met her Russian financier husband, George Schlee (died 1964), at the Sevastopol railway station as she was fleeing the country with her family jewels; there is some question as to whether they were legally wed. George Schlee is best known for his 20-year friendship with film star Greta Garbo. The Schlees arrived in New York City in 1923 and became prominent members of café society during the Roaring Twenties. Valentina "stood out" for her clothes and style at the time because she appeared in floor-lengths and cover-ups while other women wore short skirts and low-neck dresses."

Professional career
Schlee opened a small couture dress house, Valentina's Gowns on Madison Avenue in 1928.  Her first stage commission was costumes for Judith Anderson in 1933's Come of Age.  The costumes were better received than the play, and established her reputation as a designer for the stage. Schlee dressed such actresses of the era as Lynn Fontanne, Katharine Cornell, Greta Garbo, Gloria Swanson, Gertrude Lawrence, and Katharine Hepburn.  Her Broadway successes included the costumes for the play The Philadelphia Story.  She also dressed prominent New York society women including members of the Whitney and Vanderbilt families. In 1950 Valentina also introduced a perfume, "My Own".

Schlee's made-to-measure, flowing styles combined the intricate bias cut of Madeleine Vionnet and the grace of gowns by Alix Gres. "Simplicity survives the changes of fashion," she said in the late 1940s. "Women of chic are wearing now dresses they bought from me in 1936. Fit the century, forget the year."

Schlee was a skilled self-promoter.  She modeled her own designs and rarely let her dramatic, elegant air of self-possession falter. Schlee was always impeccably turned out, earning her a mention on the International Best Dressed List.

Schlee closed her fashion house in the late 1950s. She died of Parkinson's disease in 1989, aged 90. Since she and Garbo lived in the same apartment building in New York City—and Valentina was upset by Garbo's close friendship with her husband George in the early 60's right before he died—Valentina and Garbo had an elaborate schedule set up so that they would never run into each other in the lobby of their building.

In 2009, Valentina: American Couture and the Cult of Celebrity, a large retrospective exhibition opened at the Museum of the City of New York. It was the first exhibition to trace Valentina's career and featured never-before-exhibited gowns, accessories, photographs, and printed matter from the collections of the Museum of the City of New York, the Valentina family, and other major collections.

Luis Vicente de Velasco e Isla (9 February 1711 - 31 July 1762) was a Spanish officer and naval commander in the Royal Spanish Navy. He is known for his valiant defense during the Siege of Havana in 1762, during which he was killed in action.

Biography
Luis Vicente de Velasco was born in Noja, Cantabria, in Spain. He enlisted in the Spanish navy and became a sailor at the age of 15 and saw his first action in an engagement at against a Barbary corsair. He participated in the Conquest of Oran in 1732.

Battle of Havana and death

During the Seven Years' War the British sent an expedition against Cuba in 1762 with a fleet of 23 ships of the line, 11 frigates, 4 sloops, 3 bomb ketches, 1 cutter alongside 160 troop transports, consisting of 31,000 men in total. The Spanish forces opposing them had 11,670 men, 10 ships of the line, 2 frigates, 2 sloops and hundreds of cannons mounted on Havana's extensive fortifications. 10,000 soldiers disembarked under the command of George Keppel, 3rd Earl of Albemarle and captured the heights, which the governor of Cuba, Juan de Prado had left undefended.

Velasco defended the vital Morro Castle with 64 cannons and a garrison of 700 men. On 1 July the British launched a combined land and naval attack on the Morro. The fleet detached four ships of the line for this purpose: HMS Stirling Castle, HMS Dragon, HMS Marlborough and HMS Cambridge. The naval and land artilleries simultaneously opened fire on the Morro. However, the naval bombardment proved to be ineffective as the elevation of the fort proved too high for the cannons of the ships to effectively target the batteries, and the attack was called off.

The fortress held out for another two months despite daily shelling, thanks to the effective leadership of Velasco. The resistance came to an end when Velasco died after being hit by a bullet in the chest. The Earl of Albemarle allowed the transfer of the heavily wounded Velasco to Havana, where British surgeons tried to save his life, but in vain; he died on 31 July 1762. The British and Spanish concluded a temporary truce to allow for his burial. Two weeks later, Havana was captured. The capture proved to be a humiliating Spanish defeat, as the entire garrison present were either killed or captured, alongside the fleet in the harbour (which the Spanish had neglected to burn) and one hundred merchantmen.

Legacy
Velasco was honoured by the Spanish for his bravery. King Charles III of Spain had a statue of him erected in Meruelo, ordered a navy ship to be named in his honour, and gave his brother Iñigo José de Velasco the title of Marquess of Velasco.

Saint-Amand-de-Coly (; Limousin: Sench Amand de Còli) is a former commune in the Dordogne department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France. On 1 January 2019, it was merged into the new commune Coly-Saint-Amand.

The village is a member of the Les Plus Beaux Villages de France ("The most beautiful villages of France") association.

Geography
In the heart of the Dordogne, the town of Saint-Amand-de-Coly is crossed from south to north-east by Chironde, a thin tributary of Coly and sub-tributary of the Vézère.

The village is located eight kilometers east of Montignac, both southwest of Terrasson-Lavilledieu and 19 kilometers north of Sarlat-la-Caneda, away from main roads.

In the Middle Ages, Saint-Amand-de-Coly guarded the source of the Coly, until it fell.

The town is served by 64 county roads (southeast) and 704 (formerly 704 national road in the southwest).

History

The town has several places traces of prehistoric human occupation, inn addition to Gallo-Roman.

Although the Augustinian abbey was built in the twelfth century, the first known written mention of the place dates back to the fourteenth century in the Latin form Amandus prope Montinhacum Sanctus ("Saint Amand near Montignac").

The town, during the revolutionary period of the National Convention (1792-1795), was named Amand-le-Vallon.

Toponymy
The name of the town refers to St. Amand, hermit came to evangelize the region in the sixth century including near the village of Coly, where the abbots had a castle verified in 1406 (Castrum de Coly).

In Occitan, the town is named Sench Amand de Còli.

Administrative structure

The city of Saint-Amand-de-Coly, as early as 1790, was part of the canton of Cassagne which was part of District Montignac until 1795, the date districts were dissolved. When this district was dissolved by the law of 8 pluviôse year IX (28 January 1801) on "reducing the number of justices of the peace," the district was made part of the township of Montignac, which was part of the district of Sarlat (now the district of Sarlat-la-Caneda since 1965).

At the end of 2001, all of the communes of the Vézère Valley were made part of Saint-Amand-de-Coly. It was dissolved on 31 December 2013 and replaced on 1 January 2014 by the community of cities of the Valley of Man.

In geology, especially in the study of glacial till, eigenvectors and eigenvalues are used as a method by which a mass of information of a clast fabric's constituents' orientation and dip can be summarized in a 3-D space by six numbers. In the field, a geologist may collect such data for hundreds or thousands of clasts in a soil sample, which can only be compared graphically such as in a Tri-Plot (Sneed and Folk) diagram, or as a stereographic projection. The output for the orientation tensor is in the three orthogonal (perpendicular) axes of space.

Eigenvectors output from programs such as Stereo32  are in the order E1 > E2 > E3, with E1 being the primary orientation of clast orientation/dip, E2 being the secondary and E3 being the tertiary, in terms of strength. The clast orientation is defined as the Eigenvector, on a compass rose of 360°. Dip is measured as the Eigenvalue, the modulus of the tensor: this is valued from 0° (no dip) to 90° (vertical). Various values of E1, E2 and E3 mean different things, as can be seen in the book 'A Practical Guide to the Study of Glacial Sediments' by Benn & Evans, 2004.

Saint-Avit-Sénieur (; ) is a commune in the Dordogne department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France.

The most notable feature of the village is a massive church from the end of the 11th and 12th century. Next to the church, an abbey has been erected to honour the hermit Avitus, who died in 570. Avitus gave his name to the abbey and the village.

The abbey used to house canons, disciples of Augustine of Hippo. It is now mostly in ruins.

The size of the church (51 × 23 meters) can be explained by the fame of the village on the Way of St. James: one of the paths starting from Vézelay passes through this place.

Situation

The village is located on a plateau near the Couze Valley. In the past, the place was called "Mount Dauriac".

History

Prehistory
The site of Combe-Capelle has been excavated near the Couze Valley, next to the border with the commune of Montferrand-du-Périgord. The place was occupied during the Upper Paleolithic period.

Middle Ages

The legend of Avitus

According to a hagiography, Avitus, a young aristocrat from Lanquais, was enlisted against his will in the Visigoth army (under Alaric II) against the Frank army of Clovis. The army of Clovis was trying to conquer the South-West of France at this time.

At the Battle of Vouillé in 507, Avitus, taken prisoner by the Franks, converted to Christianity. When freed, he had a dream that he should return to his homeland, and walk in the local woods until he received a sign. He rested in a cave next to a spring, looking out towards a hill, the Mount Dauriac (the site of the present village), where a pagan temple had been built. He recited a prayer and the pagan temple collapsed. Avitus then became a thaumaturge and healer. At his death in 570, he was celebrated like a saint. Monks came to settle near the cave, where he had built an oratory.

The first church
After the death of Avitus, a first church, called "Notre-Dame-du-Val", was built near his retreat, but was destroyed in the 9th or 10th century, probably by the Normans. According to an engraved stone still to be seen in the present church, the body of Avit was moved a few kilometers away to the hamlet of Saint-Cernin, now in the commune of Labouquerie. After the destruction of the first church, the primitive village declined, and the monks moved to settle on Mount Dauriac.

The Route de Compostella and the new church
A first romanesque church was built in the 11th century on Mount Dauriac, on the site of the current church.

Many pilgrims came here because of the notoriety of Avitus, and because the village was situated on the Route de Compostella (Way of St. James). To accommodate all these pilgrims, another, larger church was built to replace the existing one, again using the same site, at the end of the 11th and beginning of the 12th century.

Destruction of the buildings

12th or 13th centuries
According to the evidence of fire on the walls (the stonework still retains a pink colouration), some of the village and the abbey buildings were partially destroyed in the 12th and 13th centuries. Several hypotheses have been made as to who carried out these attacks: probably either pillage by the cathars or the consequence of the Hundred Years' War.

16th century

During the religious wars, in 1577, the lord of Commarque and some Protestants entered the abbey, destroyed a large part of the buildings and killed the priests.

The chapter was suppressed in 1695.

Recent history

In 1862, the church was classified as a "Monument historique". At the end of the 19th century, the church was restored by the architect Henri Rapine. Archaeological excavations during the 1960s found what could be the remains of a pagan temple - tiles similar to those used by the Romans, and holes that could have contained pillars. This temple could have existed before the church and was possibly destroyed by an earthquake - giving rise to the legend of St Avitus.

Places and monuments

The church

The primitive church
On the site of the current church, a primitive church existed up to the middle of the 11th century. A part of its southern wall is still visible in the wall of the current church. This primitive church was probably erected by monks of the Order of Saint Benedict.

The current church
The current church was erected during the Romanesque period, at the end of the 11th century and beginning of the 12th. At the beginning of the 12th century, the body of Avitus was transferred here, according to an engraved stone in the wall of the church. The building was erected by canons of Saint Augustine.

The outside

 Western façade
The North tower was partially destroyed during the religious wars.

 Southern wall
This wall is adjoined to the ruins of the cloister. There are marks of fire in its lower part. The fire could have been caused by either the Cathars in 1214 or the English in 1442 during the Hundred Years' War.

 Eastern apse
A few tombs of monks and aristocrats are located at the bottom of the apse.

The inside
Three bays are delimited by massive pillars. These pillars were probably made to support domes, but they currently carry rib vaults. Unlike the wall and pillars, these vaults do not exhibit the red marks of the 13th-century fire, so it is possible that the building was initially covered by domes until the fire, as in the cathedrals of Périgueux and Cahors.

The figures at the top of the vaults show a blessing hand, a standing character and a Lamb of God. Paintings are also visible on the walls, among them a representation of Saint Christopher. The holy water font at the entrance is from the 9th century. Therefore, it is possible that it was moved from the previous church Notre-Dame-du-Val. The altar is contemporary (end of the 20th century). The flat apse ('chevet' or 'head' of the building) is dated 1577 and was therefore constructed after the Wars of Religion.

Ruins of the abbey
Only the external walls remain of the cloister adjoining the South wall of the church. Inside these walls can be seen holes for the beams that used to support the roof of the cloister. The cloister was used as a cemetery from 1659 to 1923.

The chapter house still remains, containing a small museum with the remains from the 20th-century archaeological excavations. Between the chapter house and the church, the sacristy and above, the former dormitory of the monks also remain. Inside the dormitory is a small geological museum (donated by Jean Capelle).

Next to the chapter house, the entrance porch is also visible.

On the South wall of the cloister, remains of several rooms can be seen in the walls and on the ground: the kitchen (remains of a bread owen), the dining room, the scriptorium, and the cellar (now covered).

To the South an old rectory from the 17th century (the first floor is probably older) is used today for temporary exhibitions. The rectory is surrounded by fortified walls. To its west, more remains of foundations, possibly of houses, can be seen.

Place du fort

This square lies to the North of the church. Old houses with gothic or renaissance windows, a fragment of the 14th-century wall and a sundial can be seen there. One of the house has the inscription "Chanoine Fadelpech 1628" ("chanoine" is a 'canon').

DE magazine Deutschland was a magazine of culture, politics, business and science in Germany. It was a bimonthly magazine published in German, English, French, Spanish, Hebrew, Hungarian, Japanese, Polish, Turkish, among the others. It was styled DE Magazin Deutschland and DE magazine Deutschland, respectively. The Federal Foreign Office in Berlin supported it and it also conveyed general opinions of the German government. The magazine was based in Frankfurt but aimed at an international rather than domestic readership.

The magazine had once more than 1.5 million readers in 172 countries across the world. Some 32% of the subscribers occupied executive positions in industry while 40% were at the forefront of politics and scientific research.

The magazine was previously titled as Deutschland : Forum für Politik, Kultur und Wirtschaft, which in turn used to be Deutschland : Zeitschrift für Politik, Kultur, Wirtschaft und Wissenschaft, which itself is a continuation of the original West German periodical that dates back to the 1960s, Scala: A Periodical from the Federal Republic of Germany (Scala : Zeitschrift aus Deutschland).

FC Lisse is a Dutch football club from Lisse which was founded in 1981. It currently plays in the Tweede Divisie.

History
The history of FC Lisse is linked to its Catholic religion, the first version of a football club being formed in 1911 by a local Catholic priest, called Lissese Voetbal Vereniging, which was later renamed Lisse Racing Club. In 1921 a separate team, RKVV Lisse, was formed. In 1942 Lisse RC was dissolved, and after World War Two another club, Lisser Boys, was formed. In 1968 an unsuccessful attempt was made to merge RKVV Lisse (later called Sportclub Lisse) and Lisser Boys, but on 17 March 1981 the teams were merged under the name FC Lisse.

The club was automatically promoted to Topklasse in 2009–10, which was introduced as highest amateur level in the Netherlands. After reintroduction of the Tweede Divisie in 2016–17 above the Topklasse, FC Lisse didn’t qualify for the new top amateur championship. A year later, they promoted to the Tweede Divisie, but relegated after just one season. In 2022, FC Lisse entered the Tweede Divisie again by winning the Derde Divisie (new name of the Topklasse).

Eulace Peacock (August 27, 1914 – December 13, 1996) was an American track and field athlete in the 1930s.

Peacock was born in Dothan, Alabama and raised in the Vauxhall section of Union Township, New Jersey, where he graduated from Union High School in 1933. He set the New Jersey high school record in 1933 with a long jump of  that was on the books for 44 years until Renaldo Nehemiah jumped

He became a rival to Jesse Owens in many sprinting competitions. He broke the high school record in the long jump the same day it was bettered by Owens. "I had that record for two hours." He attended Temple University in Philadelphia where he became a member of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. Peacock won the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) outdoor pentathlon championship six times, in 1934, 1935, 1937, and from 1943 through 1945.

He was a sprinting prodigy, who bested the notable prodigy of his time, Owens, on several occasions. A victory by Peacock over Owens in a July 1935 meet in Lincoln, Nebraska led The New York Times to say that "Peacock's star still is in the ascendancy" under the headline "Peacock's Victories Over Owens Project Duel for Olympic Fame" After pulling a hamstring muscle, he was unable to qualify for the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Germany.

In 1942 he served in the United States Coast Guard; in later years he opened a liquor store and a car-rental business. He stayed connected with athletics by officiating at championship events and Olympic qualifying trials.  He has been honored by a number of athletic bodies, including the National Track and Field Hall of Fame.

Peacock died of Alzheimer's disease at age 82 in Yonkers, New York and was interred in Kensico Cemetery in Valhalla, NY.

Viva Films is a Philippine film production company established under Viva Communications. It was founded on November 11, 1981, by Vic del Rosario Jr.

History

Early years (1981–1988)
Veering away from the Sharon Cuneta-Gabby Concepcion tandem, Viva became home to quality dramatic films.  The "glossy" production of films such as Sinasamba Kita, Palimos ng Pag-ibig, Saan Darating Ang Umaga?, Kung Mahawi Man Ang Ulap and Paano Ba Ang Mangarap? won critical and commercial acclaims. Viva Films also made a documentary film on the Puerto Rican boyband Menudo on their visit to the Philippines in 1985.

Viva launched then-supporting actor Phillip Salvador as an action star in the movie Boy Negro.  It was also instrumental in introducing to the public Robin Padilla (Bad Boy and Anak ni Baby Ama) and Raymart Santiago (Noel Juico: Batang Kriminal) as new action stars.  Veteran action stars Eddie Garcia, Rudy Fernandez, Bong Revilla Jr. and Fernando Poe, Jr. also made movies for Viva.

Viva became later known as home to quality youth-oriented films, starting with the 1984 breakthrough flick, Bagets. The movie was top billed by William Martinez and launched the careers of then unknowns J.C. Bonnin, Herbert Bautista, Raymond Lauchengco and Aga Muhlach.  With its box-office success, the company produced a sequel Bagets 2 with Ramon Christopher, Jon Hernandez and Francis Magalona joining the original cast, the success of the two Bagets film made it the flagship movie of VIVA films & it set the trend for youth-oriented movies in the 80's which other film companies copied, but they never matched nor equaled the success brought about by the two Bagets films.

Viva also made "glossy" comedy films like Working Girls and Sa Totoo Lang which featured serious actors and actresses as main characters instead of comedians.  The company also gambled on new comedians as the '80s decade was about to end. Comedy flicks such as Puto, Jack en Jill, Humanap ka ng Panget and I Love You Three Times a Day launched the respective careers of Herbert Bautista, Andrew E. and Jimmy Santos.

Heyday (1989–2003)
In 1989, Viva introduced its second batch of young stars via the youth-oriented comedy Estudyante Blues. It introduced to the public young stars & That's Entertainment mainstays such as Vina Morales, Gelli de Belen, Keempee de Leon, Raymart Santiago and Dingdong Avanzado.  The movie was also a resounding success, despite the fact that Estudyante Blues became an earlier hit via the Philippine music airwaves as a single sung by Freddie Aguilar.

In the 1990s, Viva launched the careers of Dennis Padilla and Janno Gibbs as solo comedians while reviving the film careers of veteran comedians Redford White (Neber 2 Geder), Chiquito (Pinagbiyak na Bunga) and Joey de Leon (Hibangers).

Viva later on entered into television production by partnering with GMA Pictures. Their first venture together was the sitcom Ober Da Bakod in 1992 with then rising young talents Donita Rose, Gelli de Belen, and Janno Gibbs and Anjo Yllana as main stars, followed by the soap opera Villa Quintana in 1994 with Donna Cruz and Keempee de Leon as lead stars. However, it was the 1995 youth-oriented series T.G.I.S. that gave Viva its biggest success as a television producer. Headlined by Angelu de Leon, it gave birth to the careers of Bobby Andrews, Michael Flores, Onemig Bondoc, Red Sternberg, Raven Villanueva and Ciara Sotto.  The success of the TV series was later translated to the big screen, when the TGIS group became box-office stars via the movies Takot Ka Ba sa Dilim? and TGIS the Movie. A new batch of teens were introduced a few months later, and was led by Dingdong Dantes, Anne Curtis, Sunshine Dizon, Kim Delos Santos, Antoinette Taus, Polo Ravales, Dino Guevarra and Chubi del Rosario.

In 1996, Viva Films had the highest number of films produced out of all the major studios in the country, producing 35% of all local films in 1995–1996. The practice of having a high output of films was revived in 2018-2019 and since 2021 due to the launch of Vivamax.

Decline (2004–2010)
Viva Films had the lowest number of films produced among all major movie studios in the Philippines for the year 2004, producing only four: Annie B., Masikip sa Dibdib: The Boobita Rose Story, Kulimlim and Lastikman: Unang Banat, all of which were only moderate box-office successes. Due to stiff competition, they focused on digital films and distribution the following year.

In late 2006, Viva Films returned to mainstream movie production through co-producing with the film outfits owned by the giant networks: GMA Films of GMA Network and Star Cinema of ABS-CBN while producing films by themselves from time to time. Their first two comeback mainstream movies were Till I Met You (with GMA Films) and Wag Kang Lilingon (with Star Cinema). From 2009 to 2010, Viva produced movies which were considered firsts: Patient X marks the first Viva movie of Richard Gutierrez and Cristine Reyes after the latter signed a contract with Viva Entertainment, while Working Girls marks the first Viva movie of the first Starstruck female winner Jennylyn Mercado after she signed a contract with Viva Entertainment.

Continued success (2011–2020)
In 2011, Tumbok, Catch Me, I'm in Love, No Other Woman, The Unkabogable Praybeyt Benjamin, Won't Last A Day Without You (all co-produced by Star Cinema), were released. In 2012, Of All the Things (co-produced by GMA Films), Moron 5 & the Crying Lady (co-produced by MVP Films) and A Secret Affair were released.

In 2013, Bekikang: Ang Nanay Kong Beki, It Takes a Man and a Woman, Momzillas, and Girl, Boy, Bakla, Tomboy (all co-produced by Star Cinema) were released. In 2014, Diary ng Panget, Trophy Wife and Muslim Magnum .357 were released.

In 2015, Felix Manalo, a biopic of the Iglesia Ni Cristo founder, was released in October.

On March 13, 2019, Viva Communications joined the local-language film consortium Globalgate Entertainment, which is led by American mini-major film studio Lionsgate.

Vivamax and online streaming activities (2021-present)
On January 29, 2021, Viva films released an online video streaming site called Vivamax which aims to provide online viewing for their movies such as Maybe This Time, Kita Kita, and Sanggano, Sanggago’t Sanggwapo.  Vivamax released a wide variety of titles, ranging from comedy, horror, and erotica in the form of films and series. Viva also released a separate streaming service called Viva One (formerly Viva Prime) featuring family films aimed at a broader audience; while Vivamax quickly gained a reputation as a purveyor of softcore pornography, Viva COO Vincent del Rosario dismissed such allegations and claimed that their adult content makes up only ten percent of their streaming library.

In 2022, Viva produced a number of films which were set to be released every week theatrically.

Highest-grossing films

Viva movies on TV
During the early 1980s, Viva tied up with IBC-13 to air their early releases every Saturday nights. The movie block, titled Viva Box Office Hits, showed early movies of Sharon Cuneta and Gabby Concepcion and other early releases by the company, In 1988, "Viva Box Office Hits" was one of the Viva shows that transferred to ABS-CBN (along with "The Sharon Cuneta Show") after its original home IBC-13 was sequestered by the Aquino administration.  Despite Viva Box Office'''s cancellation in 1989, succeeding movies produced by Viva Films and its subsidiaries continued to air on ABS-CBN through the network's movie blocks Tagalog Movie Greats and Star Cinema Presents until 1992.

In 1992, Viva switched networks by partnering with GMA-7 where their latest movie releases starting in 1991 onwards were shown every Thursday nights. The movie block was renamed Viva Sinerama which ended in 2001.  The said partnership initially caused controversy after former media partner ABS-CBN filed an injunction to block the partnership as the network launched their own motion picture company Star Cinema a year later. The said injunction affected the airing of the 1991 box-office hit "Maging Sino Ka Man" which was supposed to be Viva's maiden offering on "Viva Sinerama".  After the court decided in favor of the Viva-GMA partnership, the said movie finally aired after six months.  It was also during the GMA era where Viva aired another movie block on Monday nights called MVP (Monday Viva Presentations) on August 15, 1994, primarily to compete with ABS-CBN's then top-rating movie block Regal Presents, which later moved to Tuesdays as Tuesday Viva Presentation from 1997 until 1998.

During the new millennium, Viva diversified its movie library where it was aired randomly on IBC-13 (via Viva TV primetime block) and ABC-5 (now TV5) (via the Viva Box Office and Viva Cine Idols movie block).

From free TV, Viva was able to tie up with Star TV and Fox International Channels Philippines to create an all-Filipino international movie channel on May 6, 1996, called Viva Cinema. Viva Cinema aired over 300 movies coming from the Viva library, including latest releases.  It also aired behind-the-scenes outtakes and refreshing entertainment shows. The partnership between Viva and Star TV ended on July 31, 2003, when Viva created its own movie channel, PBO (Pinoy Box Office) and entrusted the entire Viva movie library to ABS-CBN by allowing it to air over. Viva Prime Channel air mostly action and Drama movies at 7:00 p.m. only every other week of the month. Viva Cinema return in February 2009 along with the launch of Philippine DTH's Cignal Digital TV of the same month. Aside from Viva entrusting the entire Viva library to ABS-CBN, co-productions of Viva and Star Cinema are also aired exclusively via ABS-CBN's movie block Kapamilya Blockbusters and ABS-CBN Sports and Action's movie blocks Movie Action Zone and Lunch Blockbuster, and via Viva Cinema, Viva Prime Channel, and PBO. While co-productions of Viva and GMA Films are exclusively aired via GMA's movie blocks Kapuso Movie Festival and/or Kapuso Movie Night, GMA News TV's movie block Takilya Blockbuster, and via Viva Cinema, Viva Prime Channel, and PBO.

For overseas markets, Cinema One Global (owned by ABS-CBN) also aired Viva Films productions for its overseas Filipino audiences.

In 2015, Viva partnered with TV5 to provide entertainment content.  This transpired after the TV network dissolved its entertainment department to make room for blocktimers and content providers.  It is said that Viva will be the biggest content contributor for the network. However, its partnership with TV5 took a break in late 2016 as former Gilas Pilipinas and PBA head coach, Vicente "Chot" Reyes took over as president and CEO of TV5 which Reyes focused in sports and news programming on TV5 until he resigned in June 2019 due to negative feedbacks by the viewers and fans of the network's entertainment programming against Reyes.

On May 10, 2021, after Cignal TV took over the TV5 Network's management and operations (and Viva resurrected its partnership with TV5 for the overall programming), TV5/Cignal and Viva through the Sari-Sari Channel announced that TV5 will air a Viva weekly movie block under the Sari-Sari Presents: Viva Cinema banner, similar to the now-defunct Viva Sinerama on GMA which began on May 15, 2021, every Saturday afternoon. On October 31, 2021, the Sine Spotlight block on Sunday evenings aired films produced by Viva from the early to mid-2010s and since May 2022 until early 2023 older action films produced by Viva; competitor studio Star Cinema (under ABS-CBN Corporation) assumed the co-production and partnership duties for the block from February to May 2022. On August 1, 2021, Viva reverted its secondary cable-only network Viva TV back to Viva Cinema with older films produced and distributed by Viva until 1996 (since August 2022) in the new iteration along with concerts produced by sister company Viva Live; the former had been merged with the company's TV production unit. PBO is set to target broadcasting films from 2002 onwards in the coming years.

In September 2022, Some most of Viva's classic Filipino movies began to air on All TV Channel 2, a free-to-air and cable television network owned by Advanced Media Broadcasting System via the All Flix'' movie block which airs daily.

P1.1-billion IPO
In January 2008, Viva chairman Vic del Rosario announced that Viva Communications expected to raise P1.1 billion through approval of the initial public offering (IPO) by the Philippine Stock Exchange, on listing date of March 5. It planned to sell up P 92.8 million new shares and P 49.9 million secondary shares at P 12.93 / share (offer is 35% of the company's issued and outstanding capital stock). It appointed Banco de Oro (BDO) Capital and Investment Corporation as lead underwriter and Abacus Capital and Investments Corporation as co-lead underwriter. Viva's net income was P 121 million for January to October 2007, double its 2006 earnings and projects net profit of P 330 million this year.

Former subsidiaries
 Viva Family Entertainment - A family-oriented film outfit that existed from 1994 to 1995.
 Neo Films - A film outfit that existed from 1995 to 1998, with a brief revival from 2002 to 2003. Initially headed by Eric Cuatico, Vincent III and Veronique took over the helm in 1997 after Cuatico left for rival film company Star Cinema.

Orestheus (Ancient Greek:  derived from oresteros "mountainous" from όρος oros "mountain, hill"), in Greek mythology, was a name attributed to two individuals.

Orestheus, a king of the Ozolian Locrians in Aetolia. He was the son of Deucalion and Pyrrha, the legendary progenitors of the Greek race. Orestheus was the brother of Pronous and Marathonius. His dog was said to have given birth to a piece of wood which he concealed in the earth. In the spring, a vine grew forth from it, from the sprouts of which (Greek ὅζοι ozoi "branches") Orestheus derived the name of his people.
Orestheus, an Arcadian prince as one of the 50 sons of the impious King Lycaon either by the naiad Cyllene, Nonacris or by unknown woman. He was the reputed founder of Arcadian Oresthasion, which is said afterwards to have been called Oresteion, from Orestes.

The Tsyklon-2 (), also known as Tsiklon-2 and Tsyklon-M (known as SL-11 by the United States DoD), GRAU index 11K69, was a  Soviet, later Ukrainian, orbital carrier rocket used from the 1960s to the late 2000s.
The rocket had 106 launches, one suborbital and 105 orbital, with only one failure and
92 consecutive successful launches, from
27 December 1973 with the launch of Kosmos 626 to
25 June 2006 with the final flight of the Tsyklon-2,
which makes this launcher most reliable within rocket launched more than 100 times.

History
A derivative of the R-36 ICBM, and a member of the Tsyklon family, the Tsyklon-2 made its maiden flight on 6 August 1969, and conducted 106 flights, the last one occurring on 24 June 2006. It was the most reliable Soviet/Russian carrier rocket ever used,and launched more than 100 times having failed only once, and the second most reliable carrier rocket overall, behind the Atlas II that was launched only 63 times. Along with other R-36 family member Tsyklon-3, the Tsyklon-2 was retired in favor of new-generation and all-Russian carrier rockets, such as the Angara and Soyuz-2.

Description
Like the Tsyklon-3, the Tsyklon-2 was derived from the R-36 Scarp ICBM. However, it did not have a third stage, like the Tsyklon-3 did, also it was slightly shorter and had a lower weight mass when fueled.
