They arrived at Vilar Formoso on 23 June 1940. After travelling through Coimbra and Lisbon, the family first stayed in Cascais, in Casa de Santa Maria, owned by Manuel Espírito Santo, who was then the honorary consul for Luxembourg in Portugal. By July they had moved to Monte Estoril, staying at the Chalet Posser de Andrade. On 10 July 1940, Prince Charles, together with his father Prince Félix, his siblings, Heir Prince Jean, Princess Elisabeth, Princess Marie Adelaide, princess Marie Gabriele and Princess Alix, the nanny Justine Reinard and the chauffeur Eugène Niclou, along with his wife Joséphine, boarded the S.S.

In 2016, she and the other original Kudai members reunited.

Biography

Early life
Nicole Natalino started by doing voices for commercials and her musical debut was at the age of 10. Even though she was a very shy girl, her mother convinced her attend the casting for Ciao. The casting for the group Ciao was held in Chile by their later manager Pablo Vega. Nicole was chosen, along with another girl and two boys (Pablo Holman and Tomás Manzi), by Pablo Vega and together they began their musical career. Ciao sang Italian songs translated to Spanish for children. Together Nicole Natalino, Pablo Holman, Tomás Manzi, and Barbara Sepúlveda achieved a successful musical career. Due to their success as Ciao and their age, years later they became Kudai; still under Pablo Vega's management. Together they chose the group's new name, Kudai, which they took from the word  in Mapudungun, meaning "hard-working young man". In 2004 they met Guz (Gustavo Pinochet) and along with Guz the group wrote their first album as teens and Kudai titled "Vuelo".

The European Student Moon Orbiter (ESMO) was a proposed European student mission to the Moon. Student teams from 19 universities throughout Europe worked on the program. ESMO was conceived by the Student Space Exploration & Technology Initiative (SSETI) under the support of the European Space Agency (ESA); prior to the start of Phase A the full responsibility for the management of the program was transferred to the ESA Education Office.

In 2009, Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL) was selected as prime contractor. In April 2012, ESMO was scheduled for launch in 2014 or 2015, but further ESA evaluation deemed the ESMO project's costs "unsustainable" given the ESA Education Office's budget.

Objectives
The mission objectives for ESMO were:

 To launch the first lunar spacecraft to be designed, built and operated by students across ESA Member States and ESA Cooperating States
 To place and operate the spacecraft in a lunar orbit
 To acquire images of the Moon from a stable lunar orbit and transmit them back to Earth for education outreach purposes
 To perform new measurements relevant to advanced technology demonstration, lunar science and exploration

The educational aim of the project was to provide valuable hands-on experience to university students within a real and demanding space project. This is in order to fully prepare a well qualified workforce for ambitious future ESA missions.

Lunar transfer
The spacecraft of approximately  mass and a size of  was designed to be launched as a secondary or auxiliary payload into Geostationary transfer orbit (GTO) in 2014/2015. From there, the spacecraft would use its on-board propulsion to travel to lunar orbit via a weak stability boundary transfer. This travel via the Sun-Earth L1 Lagrange point would take three months, but it requires much less propellant than a direct transfer (see Low energy transfer and Interplanetary Transport Network). ESMO is intended to be operated in lunar orbit for six months.

Payloads
Payloads that were considered for the orbiter included:

 Narrow Angle Camera (outreach payload): to take images of the lunar surface. High school students will be able to propose a lunar site to be imaged.
 LunaNet (technology demonstration payload): internet-like network at the Moon for communication between future spacecraft in lunar orbit, landers, rovers and ground stations on the Earth. The LunaNet experiment will test the associated communication protocols for the Lunar Internet.
 Radiation Monitor (scientific payload): a compact and low power radiation monitor which can provide inputs for Space environment models.
 Radar (scientific payload): to provide radar observations of the Moon (radar observations from Earth are limited to the Earth-facing side of the Moon).
 Microwave Radiometric Sounder (scientific payload): a passive Microwave radiometer to measure thermal and dielectric properties of the lunar regolith.

Technical facts
The table below provides an overview of the spacecraft platform and the ground segment.

Current teams
Twenty-one teams from 19 European universities in ESA member states and cooperating states were part of the project.

Led by ESA's Education Office at ESTEC, the project successfully completed a Phase A feasibility study and continued with the preliminary design during phase B. So far, more than 200 students have been involved in phases A and B of the ESMO project. Since November 2009, SSTL coordinate and supervise the work of the students, providing system-level and specialist technical support. Regular workshops at ESTEC and ESOC as well as internships at SSTL were organized to support the student teams in their ESMO related activities and provide training / knowledge transfer. Additionally, facilities at SSTL will be utilized for spacecraft assembly, integration and testing. As a major milestone during phase B, the System Requirements Review (SRR) for ESMO was performed in 2010. At SRR, the system requirements and system design were finalised. Part of the SRR also selected the university teams to participate in the following phases of the project. After passing a preliminary design review in March 2012, the program was ended as a result of budget constraints in April 2012. ESMO was to have been the fourth mission within ESA's Education Satellite Programme following SSETI Express, YES2 and the European Student Earth Orbiter (ESEO).

They, along with Assistant State's Attorneys, are Connecticut's prosecutors—the public officials known in many other states, and in TV lore, as District Attorneys, or the "D.A."  Filan was one of the more than 500 prosecutors, inspectors and administrative and support staff who are responsible for the investigation and prosecution of crime in Connecticut.  She was assigned to the Gang and Continuing Crime Unit. In 2003, Filan transferred to the Judicial District of Fairfield at Bridgeport as an Assistant State's Attorney (prosecutor).

TV Legal Analyst
In 2005, Filan began providing commentary on MSNBC, Fox News, CNN, Court TV, ABC News, CBS News, and BBC News in 2005 on several high-profile cases including Michael Jackson and Scott Peterson. In May 2005, Filan resigned as a prosecutor to pursue a career in media when she was hired by NBC News and MSNBC to provide exclusive legal analysis of the Michael Jackson trial. She covered the trial from Santa Maria, California. After Jackson's acquittal on all charges, Filan returned home and began providing legal analysis for MSNBC and occasionally appeared on NBC. In 2006, she was promoted to MSNBC Senior Analyst.

In addition to appearing as an analyst on MSNBC's daytime and primetime programs, Filan also has served as a guest host for "The Abrams Report." Filan has been quoted in print media around the world.

She is a regular contributor to Women in Crime Ink, described by the Wall Street Journal as "a blog worth reading."

Credentials
Filan is admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut and the Courts of the State of Connecticut. She had a column on MSNBC.com called the Filan Files.

The Studio Graton, or Studio Jean Graton is a drawing studio that helped French cartoonist Jean Graton draw various comics series, among them the famous series Michel Vaillant.

History
In 1962, Jean Graton hires an assistant, the young Christian Denayer, to help him with the drawing of the sets and cars and the colorization of the Michel Vaillant plates. After eight years of collaboration, Denayer left to work for Tibet and what was already the embryo of the Graton Studio was expanded to include Daniel Bouchez and Christian Lippens.

The studio was created by Jean Graton in the mid 1980s, contributing to several albums. It was made up of various drawers. In the 1990, a new generation of artists came, and the studio was in charge of all the drawings when Jean Graton withdrawn in 2003. It is now led by Philippe Graton, the son of Jean Graton, who has designed the scenarios of the series since the 1994.

Manthey Racing GmbH is a German auto racing team established in 1996 by former race car driver Olaf Manthey. Manthey Racing is currently competing in the Nürburgring Endurance Series, Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters, and the GT2 European Series, and is also responsible for Porsche's factory efforts in the FIA World Endurance Championship. Working with Porsche sports cars for most of their history, the team has been strongly linked with the German manufacturer, being purchased by Porsche for a 51% majority stake in 2013, and later becoming a full motorsport partner in 2021.

History
Retiring after the 1993 season of the original DTM series, Olaf Manthey began working for Persson Motorsport in 1994, which ran Mercedes race cars. After the Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft series folded in 1996, Olaf Manthey established his own racing team, Olaf Manthey Racing, in the municipality of Rheinbreitbach.The team first raced in the Porsche Supercup in 1996, finishing 4th in the teams' standings with 158 points. The next four seasons between 1997 and 2000 saw four consecutive teams' and drivers' championships for Manthey Racing and their Dutch driver Patrick Huisman. Manthey would later take part in their first VLN event in 1998, where the team won the race outright with a Porsche 911 GT2 after 3 hours and 25 minutes of racing. In the following year, Manthey Racing competed in the 1999 24 Hours of Le Mans, taking part in the annual endurance race for the first time, entering with a Porsche 911 (996) GT3-R. The team won on their first attempt in the LMGT class with Huisman, Uwe Alzen, and Luca Riccitelli.

On 1 April 2000, Manthey Racing moved to their current location in the municipality of Meuspath. The team would expand the site in 2006.

In 2013, Manthey Racing worked with Porsche to help enter and represent the German manufacturer in the LM GTE Pro class of the FIA World Endurance Championship. The team entered two cars for the 2013 season with the newly-unveiled Porsche 911 RSR, and Jörg Bergmeister, Patrick Pilet, Timo Bernhard, Marc Lieb, Richard Lietz, and Romain Dumas were selected for the driving lineups. Porsche and Manthey scored six podiums throughout the season, including a 1-2 victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. They would finish 3rd and 4th in the LM GTE Pro teams' standings. At the end of the year, Porsche worked with team owner Olaf Manthey on an agreement, in which Porsche bought a majority stake in Manthey Racing, taking a 51% share in the company.

For the 2014 FIA World Endurance Championship, Porsche and Manthey would finish 2nd and 4th with their #92 and #91 entries respectively, taking two wins and eight podiums, including a 3rd place finish in the LM GTE Pro class at the 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans. They would retain some of the driver lineup for that season from the previous year, but would replace Bernhard, Dumas, and Lieb with Frédéric Makowiecki, Nick Tandy, and Marco Holzer, as the former three would drive for Porsche's Le Mans Prototype team.

Building on their progress in the FIA World Endurance Championship the following year, Porsche and Manthey were able to secure the FIA Endurance Trophy for the LM GTE Pro class in the 2015 FIA World Endurance Championship. Team driver Richard Lietz also won the LM GTE drivers' championship that year, known as the 'World Endurance Cup for GT Drivers'.

For the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship, Manthey Racing was selected by Porsche to help operate its GT3 team.

Manthey won the 2023 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters drivers' and teams' championships with Thomas Preining (who won the championship) and Dennis Olsen.

24 Hours of Nürburgring

Manthey Racing has been a regular participant in the 24 Hours of Nürburgring endurance event since 2006, being absent for only the 2012 and 2023 editions.

The team entered the Nürburgring 24 Hours in 2006, with additional factory driver support from Porsche, running a 996-generation 911 GT3. Lucas Luhr, Timo Bernhard, Mike Rockenfeller, and Marcel Tiemann took victory for Manthey Racing in the event, and due to favorable conditions and stiff competition from rival cars, also achieved what was then a new overall distance record ( in 151 laps). The team would compete once again in 2007, this time with Porsche's latest offering at the time, the Porsche 997 GT3 RSR, with drivers Bernhard, Tiemann, Marc Lieb, and Romain Dumas behind the wheel. Manthey Racing would take the win, after the leading Aston Martin DBRS9 had experienced an engine failure, and the sister 911 GT3 RSR entry from Land Motorsport had received damage from contact with the Manthey car during the race.

Manthey Racing entered the 2008 edition of the Nürburgring 24 Hours with five participating teams. Despite early drama for the team's #1 car, losing time with a leaky radiator and a tire failure, they were able to recover and eventually take the overall victory for the third year in a row, the car driven by Bernhard, Tiemann, Lieb, and Dumas. Manthey also scored an overall 1-2 finish in the race with their #23 Porsche 996 GT3 that previously won in 2006 finishing 2nd, with drivers Pierre Kaffer, Armin Hahne, Christian Haarmann, and Jochen Krumbach. The team's #26, #25, and #27 entries would finish 5th, 8th, and 12th respectively. The 2009 24 Hours of Nürburgring saw another victory for Manthey Racing with the #1 car, as well as a podium in the SP9 class with the #2 car.

The 2010 24 Hours of Nürburgring saw Manthey Racing return to a five-team effort. Manthey's #9 entry debuted the flywheel hybrid-powered Porsche 997 GT3 R Hybrid sports car in the E1-XP class, and it would start strong, battling for the lead in the first stages of the race, though they would lose time after the car would suffer a puncture. Despite regaining the lead, however, the team would be forced to retire the car at the 22nd hour. At the end of the event, only one Manthey car crossed the line, the #88 car finishing 10th in the SP9 GT3 class.

The 2011 race saw the team return to winning form, with the #18 car driven by Bernhard, Dumas, Lieb, and Lucas Luhr taking the overall win. The returning hybrid-powered 997 GT3 R also won the E1-XP class.

Manthey returned to the 2013 24 Hours of Nürburgring after being absent in the 2012 event, winning the SP7 class, finishing 7th overall with Bernhard, Dumas, Lieb, and Luhr.
For 2014, Manthey expanded back to four entries for the 2014 24 Hours of Nürburgring. Their #40 entry scored a podium finish in the SP7 class, finishing 16th overall. Two of their cars would unfortunately retire from the event, and the #12 entry finished 15th in the SP9 GT3 class. In 2016, Manthey won the SP-X class in the 2016 24 Hours of Nürburgring with a Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport. In 2021, Manthey took the overall victory at the 2021 24 Hours of Nürburgring after just nine hours of racing.

World Plus was an airline ticket brokerage operated by RaeJean S. Bonham and based in Fairbanks, Alaska. The World Plus business model has been described as a Ponzi scheme, and as the largest investment scam in Alaska history.

History
Born RaeJean Franklin in 1950, she moved with her husband Steve Bonham to rural Alaska in the early 1970s. RaeJean served as the postmaster of Chatanika, a small town north of Fairbanks, until 1977 when she was convicted of embezzlement and postal money order fraud.

She moved to Fairbanks and founded World Plus, Inc. in 1983. The travel agency engaged in the black market purchase and sale of frequent flyer miles. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Bonham's World Plus became a Ponzi scheme in 1989, when she began soliciting larger investments in order to repay previous smaller investments. Over the next six years, the number of investors grew to roughly 1,200. Total contributions have been estimated between $15.3 million and $50 million.

In December 1995, World Plus was shut down by United States bankruptcy court after attorney Ken Lougee filed a petition in behalf of three creditors for involuntary bankruptcy, which appointed trustee Larry D. Compton to investigate Bonham's transactions. Compton subpoenaed bank records to determine the extent of the rather secretive pyramid scheme, which had spread primarily by word of mouth. Upon arrival in Fairbanks, Compton claimed to have received death threats from some of the more successful investors.

In United States v. Bonham (1998), Bonham pleaded guilty to federal charges of mail fraud and money laundering. For these, she was sentenced in 1999 to two concurrent sentences of five years (two suspended) plus ten years of probation.

During Bonham's Federal sentence, the State of Alaska filed additional charges of perjury and securities fraud. Bonham successfully argued that these should be dismissed on the basis that they constituted double jeopardy, but this decision was appealed by the State and overturned in 2001.

Recovery
As of early 2008, Compton had filed 618 lawsuits against investors who had profited from their transactions with World Plus, recovering a total $18.2 million. From this sum he redistributed partial reimbursements to 697 known investors on whom Bonham had defaulted.

The 2005–06 Divizia B was the 66th season of the second tier of the Romanian football league system.

The format has been maintained to three series, each of them consisting of 16 teams. At the end of the season, the winners of the series promoted to Divizia A and the last six places from all the series relegated to Divizia C. A promotion play-off was played between the runners-up of the Divizia B series to decide the fourth promoted team. A special ranking was made between the 10th place teams of every series and the team with the worst ranking in this standing was relegated, as well. These changes in promotion and relegation rules were made because starting with the next season, Romanian football league system was reformed.

Kevin Buckler (born c. 1959) is an American race car driver and entrepreneur. He founded Adobe Road Winery and currently owns The Racer's Group, a professional sports car racing team; TRG Motorsports, formerly a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series team; and TRG-AMR. In 2019, Kevin launched a $56 racing-themed wine aptly named SHIFT. It comes from Adobe Road, a boutique winery in Sonoma County California.

History
Buckler began racing at the local level in the late 1980s. He attended his first high-speed race in 1990.
In 1992, Kevin and his wife Debra created The Racer's Group (TRG) as a Porsche Club Racing business that has grown into much more. 1995 saw Buckler take his first start as a professional driver.  He would go on to win that race, beginning a notable career in professional motorsports.  Off the track the same year, Kevin and his wife, along with friends, opened Adobe Road Winery in Sonoma County California. In 2002, TRG with support from Porsche Factory, won the GT class at the Rolex 24 at Daytona and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Buckler would lead TRG to 3 more GT class wins in the Rolex 24 at Daytona, including an overall 1st place in 2003. TRG holds the record for the team with the most Rolex Sports Car Series GT victories at 29, and is ranked third for the most GT pole positions with 15. In 2009, Buckler would expand his racing horizons into NASCAR with the formation of TRG Motorsports.  TRG Motorsports would go on to take 106 starts in the Sprint Cup Series with 2 top 10 finishes and 6 starts in the Camping World Truck Series, taking 6 starts with 2 top 10 finishes and 1 top 5 finish. In 2012 TRG Motorsports announced it would not continue competing in NASCAR, but would focus on Grand-Am.  As Buckler and TRG continued to make a name for their selves on the track, Kevin and Adobe Road Winery established themselves as a  boutique national brand.  Adobe Road wines have collected many awards, and has 15 wines receiving Wine Spectator scores of 90 and above including the 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, Beckstoffer Georges III which received a score of 94 out of 100.

Flux Information Sciences were a three-piece noise rock band based in Brooklyn, New York. The band was formed in 1996 by vocalist/guitarist Tristan Bechet (born in Portugal in 1973, raised in Brazil) and keyboardist Sebastian Brault (born in Madagascar, raised in France) who met in art school in Marseille. A revolving drummer policy saw Derek Ethridge replace Phil Hernandez in 1999, who was in turn replaced by Siobhan Duffy. Eventually the band settled on the line-up of Bechet and Brault, with Christopher Pravdica on electronics.

Flux Information Sciences were influenced by the 1980s New York No Wave scene, by bands such as The Contortions, James White & the Blacks, Suicide and Foetus. In 2004, Flux were featured on S.A. Crary's documentary on No Wave Kill Your Idols. Private/Public was recorded before a live audience who were required to stand naked and blindfolded before the band.

The band's debut album A Dedication to Volt was released in 1997, followed by Services in 1999. Their third album, Summer, was released in 2000, and described by Joe Silva of AllMusic as seeing Flux "retain...[their] ability to playfully challenge listeners to find entry points to their material, while maintaining their levels of chaos and invention". In 2001, Flux signed to Young God Records and released "Private/Public". Young God label boss and Swans vocalist Michael Gira described the band as "life-threatening".

The New York Times described their sound as "a clattering, dissonant, choppy, propulsive racket, punctuated every so often by a vocal chant; it's ominous and mockingly jubilant, somewhere between the Gang of Four and Ministry." In "Kill Your Idols", Bechet provides insight to the band's approach to rhythm when he described living across the road to "a metal stamping factory, and the rhythms and sounds that they make, are truly fucking phenomenal, just fucking...pff...amazing and groovy as shit; those are the kind of rhythms I enjoy, its almost as if New York City is the script and we interpret that.

Since the break-up of the band, Bechet has formed the Pinksock Records label, and worked with a number of artists, such as F. M. Einheit of Einstürzende Neubauten and Khan. He has released albums by several experimental projects including his heavy metal mash up vinyl "Please Forgive Me" and "Waiting for the Sun" CD by "Sauna KIngs". After the Label faded, Bechet founded "SERVICES" with Christopher Pravdica; a former member of Flux.

The Wall Tour was a concert tour by the English progressive rock band Pink Floyd throughout 1980–1981 in support of their concept album The Wall.

The tour was relatively small compared to previous tours for a major release, with only 31 shows performed across four venues. Concerts were only performed in England, United States and Germany. The tour was notable for its extensive use of stage theatrics, most notably a giant wall constructed across the stage to convey the sense of alienation present in both the album, and Roger Waters' personal feelings at the time.

This was the last tour of Pink Floyd with Roger Waters. 17 June 1981 was the last concert of the tour, and the last concert with Waters (until 2 July 2005 at Live 8 24 years later).

"I was struck by the thought that there was a huge wall, that you couldn't see, between me and the audience," explained Roger Waters. "Then I drew it and started to talk to people about it. And they thought I was mad, because my original idea was to start building a wall at the beginning of the show and, when it's finished, they can't see you or hear you any more, and then the show is over."

The tour's costs were estimated to have reached US$1.5 million even before the first performance (equivalent to US$4.7 million as of 2021). The New York Times stated in its 2 March 1980 edition: "The Wall show remains a milestone in rock history though and there's no point in denying it. Never again will one be able to accept the technical clumsiness, distorted sound and meagre visuals of most arena rock concerts as inevitable." It concluded, "The Wall show will be the touchstone against which all future rock spectacles must be measured."

Nick Mason explained:

The concert was performed just 31 times in four cities: Los Angeles (7 shows), Uniondale (5), Dortmund (8) and London (11). The primary 'tour' consisted of 18 shows in L.A., Uniondale and London in 1980, but the band performed a further eight shows in Dortmund (13–20 February 1981) and five more shows at Earl's Court (13–17 June) for filming, with the intention of integrating the shows into the upcoming movie.

The London shows are documented on the album Is There Anybody Out There? The Wall Live 1980-81.

David Gilmour and Mason attempted to convince Waters to expand the show for a more lucrative, large-scale stadium tour, but because of the nature of the material (one of the primary themes is the distance between an artist and his audience) Waters balked at this.

Discord in the band
On tour, relations between Gilmour, Mason, Waters and Richard Wright were at an all-time low: their four Winnebagos were parked in a circle with the doors facing away from the centre; an isolated Waters used his own vehicle to arrive at each venue and stayed in separate hotels from Gilmour, Mason and Wright. Despite having left the band upon completion of the album, Wright agreed to complete the tour as a salaried musician, and consequently ended up being the only member of the group who made any money from the venture. "I did not just want to walk out on this great thing I'd been working on," he recalled. "I just decided I'd go out and play my best, possibly with the hope that, if it worked out, [Waters'] decision to have me out could have been reverted."

Concert film

The idea to include live concert footage of any significant length for The Wall film was dropped shortly before the final shows took place. There are conflicting statements regarding the professionally filmed footage. It had been widely believed that 'the wrong type of film' had been used and the results were dark and murky. Mark Fisher, partly responsible for designing the show said the footage was: 'very dark and horrible and boring and should be burned'. Alan Parker himself said: '[the filming of the shows were] five blown opportunities'. These rumours were partially scotched when the Channel 4 documentary 'Behind the Wall' (2000) used perfectly clear master videotape footage from the Earls Court 1980 concerts, as well as pristine film footage from the Earls Court 1981 concerts. 27 February, 6-7-8-9 August 1980 concerts were shot on videotape, while 13-14-15-16-17 June 1981 were shot on Eastman 125T film stock, using Panavision (anamorphic) Panaflex Gold cameras. These cameras can be seen in various photographs from the June 1981 leg. Attempts to brighten up the show for the film were successful, however the ISO for the filming was too low, thus Parker deeming the footage "a waste". David Gilmour has stated in an interview that only three tracks were captured on film:

However, this is referring to the studio productions for the 1982 movie; shortly before the June 1981 leg ended, the band had come to the realization that they would need close-ups of the musicians on-stage. To solve this, they recreated the Earls Court concert stage in a studio for the sole purpose of shooting close-ups. They did several takes of "The Happiest Days of Our Lives"; "Another Brick in The Wall pt. 2"; "Mother"; and "Hey You". The reason that they chose to do the close-ups in a studio as opposed to the live shows is due to the fact that they didn't want the cameras on the stage to distract the audience. The close-ups presented in official teasers from 1981 are from the studio session.

In an interview with Chris Salewicz during the Radio KAOS tour in 1987, Waters claims that attempts to put it out were shut down, as it doesn't do the original concerts justice.

Roger Waters said on an episode of In the Studio with Redbeard which devoted two parts to the making of The Wall that "the London shows in 1980/81 were filmed and he had all of the footage and was thinking of putting it together to be released. However felt extremely reluctant to release the concerts on the video cassette format". He also would have to refer to the shows as a document of what went on.

In the December 2009 issue of Mojo, Roger Waters revealed that he had 'discovered a whole load of new footage of The Wall shows' and was busy 'editing it'. He explained that he assumed the cameramen decided to shoot more than they were asked to as they had the cameras and "nobody [seemed] bothered". Waters has stated that the film is 70mm, however this is false; the 35mm negatives were printed in 70mm.

In Rolling Stone magazine, Waters expresses that the footage would "undoubtedly" be released to the public.

During Waters' tour of The Wall in 2010 footage of Waters performing his vocal parts in "Mother", labelled as being filmed in Earls Court in 1980, was projected onto the incomplete wall. The first verse comes from the studio session in 1981, and the second verse comes from 9 August 1980.

DVD of The Wall Immersion Box Set includes the professionally shot 70mm footage of "The Happiest Days of Our Lives" at Earls Court, 1981, with mixed footage from 13 to 17 June. The footage seen on the bootleg Divided We Fall by Harvested DVD is from 6–9 August 1980, while the audio is soundboard from 8 August in the first set, and 9 August in the second set.

FC Precizia Săcele is a Romanian football club from Săcele, Brașov County, founded in 1950. They currently compete in the Liga IV, rejoining senior competitions from the 2013–14 season, after they retired from the Liga III during the 2008–09 season due to financial reasons.

History
In the year 1950, the team of the Electroprecizia Factory from the City of Săcele (Brașov County) was established, under the name of Fotbal Club Precizia Săcele.

In the 1950–51 season, the newly founded team makes its first appearance in the Romanian football competitions, starting to play in the Regional League of Brașov County (at the time, Stalin Region), also known as Divizia D – Brașov (a group of the Romanian Fourth League, belonging to Brașov County). This is the league where the only team from the City of Săcele will continue to play for the next 20 years, among other teams from the County of Braşov, registering average results.

In the 1972–73 season, Precizia Săcele finishes on first place in the league and obtains a promotion to Division C, the Romanian Third League, achieving its first major success. In the 1973–74 season, it makes its debut in the Romanian Third League, finishing on fifth place of the table.

In the 1981–82 season season, the club becomes the champion of the Third League, finishing on the first place of the table, and registers the second major success, by winning the promotion to Division B, the Romanian Second League. At its debut in the Second League, in the 1982–83 season, it is unable to avoid relegation, finishing on the last place of the table.

Therefore, in the 1983–84 season, it returns to the Third League, where it will play until the 1991–92 season when it finishes in seventh place in the table, but it relegates to the Fourth League, as a result of the reduction of the number of teams playing in the Third League. After three years, Precizia Săcele promotes to the Third League, in the 1994–95 season, after finishing in first place in the table.

Only one year later, in the 1995–96 season, the club wins the promotion to the Second League, after finishing on the first place of the table. The next season will mark the third major success and the best performance in the history of the team, Precizia Săcele finishing on the second place of the table in the Second League, being very close to win the promotion to Division A, the Romanian First League. After five years spent in the Second League, in the 2000–01 season, the club finishes on the penultimate place of the table in the Second League and relegates to the Third League.

The next season, the team is very close to return to the Second League, finishing on the second place of the table in its league, but it will win the promotion to the Second League just one year later, in the 2002–03 season, when it finishes on the first place of the table in the Third League.

In the 1983–84 season, the team achieves its best performance in the Romanian Cup, winning all ten preliminary rounds, played against other teams from Brașov County, and reaching to the round of the Sixteen Finals, where it is eliminated by Dinamo Brașov, which wins the match with the score of 1–0. Later on, the team was coached by Ferencz Bajko.

In the 2006–07 season, the team changes its name to Fotbal Club Săcele, as the most important sponsor, the Factory Electroprecizia, withdrew its financial support and ceded the stadium and the playing field in the property of the local authorities. As a result, the Municipality became the most important supporter of the team FC Săcele and the owner of the stadium, playing field and training base situated nearby. The local stadium, where the team plays its home matches, is called the Electroprecizia Stadium and has a total capacity of 3,500 seats. The club is one of the teams with tradition from Brașov County and last time played in the Liga III, in the 2008–09 season, rejoining senior competitions from the 2013–14 season, in the Liga V, as Fotbal Club Precizia Săcele.
From 2015-16 the team is playing Liga IV and won 2 Romania's Cup 2018 and 2019.

The Jewish cemetery of Khotyn, Ukraine.

Background
The city of Khotyn is located in the Chernivtsi oblast of Ukraine. According to the Encyclopedia of Ukraine, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the town was almost entirely Jewish or Russian. This created a uniformity of culture that endured throughout the different occupations of Khotyn (Bessarabia in the late 1800s, Austria during the 1910s, the Soviet Army in June 1940, Romania in 1941, and the USSR in 1944). The town in 1930 was composed of 38% Jews, and roughly the same percentage of Russians, Romanians and Ukrainians. However, after the 2nd World War, the Jewish percentage of the population fell to 8%. The current Jewish population of Khotyn is small; residents estimate the community at 10 people, and the U.S. Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad estimates the population at 11-100.

The cemetery
The US Government organisation "Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad," cited above, provides an excellent reference for the Jewish cemeteries of Ukraine. The International Jewish Cemetery Project cites this source for its information. The document includes the following information about Khotyn:
KHOTIN:US Commission No. UA25060101
The last known Hasidic burial was 1990. No other towns or villages used this unlandmarked cemetery. The isolated suburban flat land has no sign or marker. Reached by turning directly off a public road, access is open to all. A broken masonry wall with no gate surrounds site. 501 to 5000 stones, most in original location with less than 25% of surviving stones toppled or broken, date from 19th to 20th century. Location of any removed tombstones is unknown. Some tombstones have traces of painting on their surfaces, portraits on stones, and/or metal fences around graves. The cemetery contains no known mass graves. The municipality owns the site used for Jewish cemetery only. Adjacent properties are agricultural. The cemetery boundaries are unchanged since 1939. Rarely, Jews or non-Jews visit. The cemetery was not vandalized in the last ten years. Local/municipal authorities cleared vegetation. Now, occasionally, individuals clean or clear. Within the limits of the cemetery are no structures. Vegetation overgrowth is a constant problem, disturbing graves. Water drainage at the cemetery is a seasonal problem. Serious threat: vegetation. Moderate threat: uncontrolled access, weather erosion and pollution. Slight threat: vandalism, and existing nearby development and proposed nearby development.

The cemetery can be reached easily by taxi from the Bus Station. The report suggests that the cemetery contains no mass graves; in fact, the location includes a monument to those Jewish citizens killed in the 1941 occupation.

Baron  was an admiral in the early Imperial Japanese Navy.

Early life
Misu was born in Hikone as the eldest son in a samurai class family. His father, Misu Kumajirō, was a retainer of the Ii clan, and was assigned command of the defenses of Edo Bay against the incursions of foreign vessels. After the Meiji Restoration, in August 1872, Misu entered the fledgling Imperial Japanese Navy; however, the navy was dominated former Satsuma samurai who were highly antagonistic to people from Hikone. Furthermore, his classmate, Dewa Shigetō, was from Aizu-Wakamatsu, whose former Matsudaira lords were the sworn enemies of the Hikone Ii clan. Misu survived partly through his father's connections with Yoshida Shōin, and through the support and patronage of Ijuin Gorō.

Naval career
In 1874, Misu was assigned to the training ship Tsukuba for studies in navigation. During the Satsuma Rebellion of 1877, Tsukuba was sent to Kyūshū and its crew was assigned shore duty as infantry. However, Misu was ordered to remain aboard the ship for logistics duties.

In August 1878, Misu was commissioned as an ensign. He was promoted to second lieutenant two years later, and lieutenant after another five years. The slowness of his promotion can also be attributed to clan factionalism within the navy. He served initially on the battleship Settsu and cruiser Asama, and in 1885 was assigned to the new cruiser Naniwa on its voyage to Great Britain. After serving as senior gunnery officer on the Naniwa, Misu was appointed its captain in 1887.

Afterwards, he was subsequently captain of Asama, Ryūjō, and then served as commander of the Yokosuka Naval District. In September 1893, he was reassigned to serve in the Imperial Japanese Navy General Staff as head of the Naval Personnel Bureau. He was in charge of payroll, awards and promotions, burial of fallen sailors, compensation to families, etc., and served in this desk job throughout the First Sino-Japanese War.

In 1897, Misu returned to the sea as captain of the Suma. He went to England to supervise the construction of the new cruiser Izumo, and brought the new battleship Asahi back to Japan. In 1901, he was promoted to rear admiral and recalled as head of the Naval Personnel Bureau in the Navy General Staff. However, his duties were greatly enlarged by the buildup of the Japanese navy prior to the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905.

During the personnel reorganization within the navy prior to the war, Naval Minister Yamamoto Gonnohyōe was convinced that victory could not be obtained unless Admiral Hidaka Sonojo was replaced by Tōgō Heihachirō. As head of the navy Personnel Bureau, Misu was in a strong position to encourage Yamamoto towards this action. He also recommended Kataoka Shichirō and Shibayama Yahachi as possible successors should something happen to Tōgō in battle. This was quite controversial, as Admiral Kamimura Hikonojō in command of the IJN 2nd Fleet would normally have been appointed successor. Misu reported that Kamimura was of aggressive, even reckless disposition, which made him ideal for leading with aggressive tactics for the Second Fleet, but that this same disposition was a detriment to his ability to replace Tōgō.

In 1905, Misu was promoted to vice admiral, and placed under Tōgō's direct control. Given command of the Nisshin, he was in the line of battle at the Battle of Tsushima, and was wounded in the left eye. Making the most of this injury, Misu was compared with the famous one-eyed warrior Date Masamune.

Following the conclusion of the war, he was ennobled with the title of baron under the kazoku peerage system. In 1906, he commanded the Ryojun Guard District From 1909-1911, he was placed in charge of reconstruction of the Maizuru Naval District. The operational area of Maizuru encompassed his home town of Hikone, which has no access to the sea. He went on the reserve list in 1913 as full admiral and died in 1921.

The Turkish Workers and Peasants Socialist Party (, TİÇSF) was a socialist party founded in Istanbul on 22 September 1919. Şefik Hüsnü, Ethem Nejat, Ahmet Akif, Sadrettin Celal, Nafi Atuğ Kansu, Cevat Cevdet and Namık İsmail were prominent members. Because Istanbul was militarily occupied by Britain and France the party suspended its activities.

Originally the TİÇSF gave support to Kemal Atatürk. They attended the first congress of the Communist Party of Turkey (TKP) held in Baku on 10 September 1920, where the TKP was established.

The Workers’ and Peasants’ Socialist Party, the Istanbul transplant of the party formed in Berlin in 1919, adopted a more confrontational policy towards the republican government. In 1923, after the victory over Greece, it organized the first large May Day demonstration in Istanbul. The regime responded by arresting socialist workers and intellectuals.

The party was dissolved in 1924.

Cat Thief (foaled January 30, 1996 in Kentucky) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse. He is the son of Storm Cat, an outstanding Champion sire and the grandson of both the 20th Century's most important sire, Northern Dancer and whose damsire was the U.S. Triple Crown champion, Secretariat. Cat Thief's dam was the multiple stakes winner, Train Robbery, a daughter of U.S. Racing Hall of Fame inductee Alydar.

Conditioned for racing by Hall of Fame trainer, D. Wayne Lukas, at age two Cat Thief won two of his seven starts including the Lane's End Breeders' Futurity. He was then third behind winner Answer Lively in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile. As a three-year-old, Cat Thief made thirteen starts. He ran third to winner Charismatic in the 1999 Kentucky Derby and seventh to Charismatic in the Preakness Stakes. Under jockey Pat Day, Cat Thief went on to win the Swaps Stakes and at Gulfstream Park in Florida Pat Day was aboard him again for the most important win of his career, the Breeders' Cup Classic.

Cat Thief made ten more starts in 2000 but did not earn a win and was retired to stud at his owner's Overbrook Farm for the 2001 season.
