Amjad Kalaf Mansour Al-Muntafiq (; born 5 October 1991) is an Iraqi professional footballer who plays as a right winger and sometimes as a striker. In 2005, he became the youngest player ever to play in the Iraqi Premier League.

Kalaf has represented Al-Kut, Al-Shorta, Al-Zawraa and Al-Talaba in the Iraqi Premier League. On the international level, Kalaf played 30 matches for Iraq, scoring against the United Arab Emirates in the 2015 AFC Asian Cup.

Kalaf played for Al-Shorta from 2007 to 2016, saving the club from relegation in 2011 with a brace against Al-Naft. He became the youngest player to captain Al-Shorta in a match in 2011, and was the club's top scorer and top assist-maker in their league title win in 2013. He also scored Al-Shorta's first two goals in the AFC Cup in 2014, and is the club's fifth-highest league scorer in history.

Club career

Al-Kut (2005–2007)
The forward is the youngest of three footballing brothers, Mohammed and Alaa, the sons of former army track and field athlete Kalaf Mansour. Born and brought up in the city of Kut, Kalaf signed for the team as a youth player.

Kalaf broke into the first team in the 2004–05 season under coach Nassir Maribi. On 14 January 2005, he made his debut in a 2004–05 Iraqi Premier League match against Al-Basra, becoming the youngest player ever to play a match in the Iraqi Premier League at just 13 years old. That season, Al-Kut surprised everyone by finishing second in their group in the first stage with 8 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, qualifying to the elite stage, where they lost all 4 matches. This was an historic achievement for Al-Kut.

Unlike the previous season, Al-Kut were not very successful in the 2005–06 Iraqi Premier League. They won just 1 match, drawing 3 and losing 8, finishing bottom of their group and being relegated to the Iraq Division One. Kalaf played a few games including 50 minutes of a match against Misan on 25 November 2005, 22 minutes of a match against Naft Al-Junoob on 27 January 2006 and the first 60 minutes of a match against Karbalaa on 3 March 2006. Kalaf was also part of the Iraq U-17 squad and was selected by coach Kadhim Khalaf for the 2006 AFC U-17 Championship.

In the 2006–07 season, Al-Kut played in the Iraq Division One and failed to earn promotion back to the top division. Kalaf played a friendly for the Iraq U-17 team against his own club Al-Kut on 11 November 2006 and the match finished 0–0. In this season he caught the eye of one of the biggest clubs in Iraq: Al-Shorta.

Al-Shorta (2007–2010)
Al-Shorta signed Kalaf from Al-Kut in 2007 on a two-year contract, ahead of the start of the 2007–08 Iraqi Premier League. At just 16 years old, Kalaf made his Al-Shorta debut in the first match of the 2007–08 season against Al-Shualah. He started the match on the bench, and within minutes of coming on as a substitute, Kalaf scored an overhead kick to put Al-Shorta 3–0 ahead in the 46th minute. He scored his second goal for the club in the very next match, the Baghdad derby between Al-Shorta and Al-Zawraa to help Al-Shorta to a 2–1 win. He received the first red card of his Al-Shorta career when he was sent off in a 3–1 defeat to Al-Zawraa, a game where he played as a right-back and assisted a goal. In total, Kalaf scored four goals in his debut season, and he extended his contract at the club after the end of the league campaign.

In the 2008–09 season, and for the first time in his career, Kalaf was Al-Shorta's top scorer for the season with six goals, and he scored a further five in the following campaign. This caught the eye of Iraq manager Radhi Shenaishil who gave him his international debut in 2009.

Erbil (2010)
On 18 September 2010, Erbil announced the signing of Amjad Kalaf from Al-Shorta, alongside the signings of Ous Ibrahim (also from Al-Shorta), Ali Mansoor (from Baghdad), Mohammed Gassid and Mustafa Ahmed (both from Al-Zawraa). Four days later, the Iraq Football Association approved of the contract at their headquarters.

However, Kalaf said he felt homesick outside of Baghdad and that he had stayed in contact with many Al-Shorta fans while in Erbil. Before Erbil entered their pre-season training camp, Kalaf called Al-Shorta manager Younis Abed Ali and asked him to return to the club. He then had a long conversation with Abdul Khaliq Masood, the vice president of Erbil, asking for his contract to be terminated. Masood refused at first but eventually accepted Kalaf's request. In November, two months after signing for Erbil, Kalaf's contract was terminated. Former club Al-Shorta and fellow Baghdad club Al-Naft both made offers to Kalaf, and Kalaf decided to rejoin Al-Shorta ahead of the start of the 2010–11 Iraqi Premier League.

Al-Shorta (2010–2016)
Kalaf scored goals in four consecutive matches between round 2 to round 5 of the 2010–11 Iraqi Premier League. On 5 February, Kalaf scored the winning goal against defending champions Duhok, and four days later he scored a brace in a 3–1 win over eventual runners-up of the league, Erbil. Kalaf suffered a serious injury which kept him out for months, and in his absence Al-Shorta's results plummeted as they went on a run of 1 win in 12 matches. This led to Al-Shorta finding themselves in a battle to avoid being relegated to the Iraq Division One for the first time in their history. Kalaf was substituted on in the second half against Samarra on 1 July and scored within a few minutes to put Al-Shorta 1–0 up in a match they eventually won 3–1. In the final match of the season against Al-Naft, Al-Shorta needed a victory to avoid relegation. Al-Shorta won the match 2–0 with Kalaf scoring both of Al-Shorta's goals in the game to save them from drop. For the second time in his career, Kalaf was Al-Shorta's top scorer for the season with 11 goals, despite being injured for a large period of it.

In Al-Shorta's first match of the 2011–12 season, a 0–0 draw against Al-Sinaah, Kalaf wore the captain's armband because the club's captain Ali Hussein Jalil and the vice-captain Fareed Majeed were both not playing. Therefore, Kalaf set a new record for the youngest player ever to captain Al-Shorta in a match at just 20 years old. Kalaf was Al-Shorta's top scorer for the second season in a row, again with 11 goals, with his team finishing seventh in the league table. Al-Zawraa manager Radhi Shenaishil and Al-Shorta manager Mohammed Tabra both voted for Kalaf in their Team of the Season selections, but Kalaf did not make the final team chosen by Al-Batal magazine.

Kalaf was linked with a move to close rivals Al-Zawraa in the summer transfer window of 2012 but he ended up staying at Al-Shorta due to his love for the club and its fans. On 16 June 2013, Kalaf featured in the 2013 Baghdad Cup final against Al-Zawraa and started the move which led to the cup-winning goal scored by Hussein Karim. This was Al-Shorta's first trophy in eleven years. In the final match of the league season, where Al-Shorta faced rivals Al-Talaba with a chance to clinch the league title, Nashat Akram gave Kalaf the captain's armband as a sign of respect for his great services to the club. Al-Shorta won the match 3–0 with two assists from Kalaf to become the Iraqi Premier League champions for the first time in 15 years. As captain on the day, Kalaf was the first player to lift the trophy on the podium. Kalaf scored 9 goals for Al-Shorta that season, being the club's top scorer for the third consecutive season, and was also the club's top assist-provider with 10 assists.

On 12 March 2014, Kalaf made history by scoring Al-Shorta's first two goals in a 3–1 win over Al-Wahda in the 2014 AFC Cup group stage - these were Al-Shorta's first two goals ever in the AFC Cup. Kalaf ended the 2013–14 season as Al-Shorta's second-highest top scorer with four goals, behind Mustafa Karim. Al-Shorta topped the Iraqi Premier League standings for the second season in a row with a record of 12 wins, 7 draws and 2 losses, however the season was ended prematurely due to the war situation in the country.

After the departure of Nashat Akram from the club, Kalaf was named as Al-Shorta's permanent captain. Kalaf was injured for a large part of the 2014–15 campaign, scoring two goals in the season. Both of the goals were in the 2015 AFC Cup group stage. The first was against Al-Hidd in a 2–2 draw and the second was against Taraji Wadi Al-Nes in a 6–2 victory.

Kalaf's 2015–16 season was interrupted by injuries again. He scored an important goal in a 2–1 win over Al-Hedood which saw Al-Shorta qualify for the elite stage on the final day of the group stage. In the first match of the elite stage (the derby against Al-Talaba), Kalaf was substituted onto the field in the second half after just recovering from an injury, and he scored on 86 minutes to win the match 1–0 for his side. Kalaf was Al-Shorta's second-highest top scorer this season with four goals, one behind Ali Faez.

Kalaf scored his first goal of the 2016–17 season against Al-Bahri in a 2–1 win. He then bagged two goals in a 4–0 win over Al-Karkh at the end of October, and scored his fourth of the season with the only goal in a 1–0 win over Al-Kahrabaa in round 10. After a 2–0 loss to Karbalaa, Mohamed Youssef decided to terminate Kalaf's contract at the club in a controversial and highly-publicised decision. Kalaf was the club's top scorer for the season at the time. Kalaf turned up for Al-Shorta's next home game despite his release in order to cheer on his former teammates from the stands.

Al-Zawraa (2017–2018)
On 11 January 2017, Kalaf signed a contract with Al-Zawraa, fierce rivals of his former club Al-Shorta. Kalaf supported Al-Zawraa as a youngster and had previously expressed his admiration for the club.

He made his debut on 14 January versus Al-Hedood in an Iraqi Premier League match as a second-half substitute in a match Al-Zawraa won 1–0. He scored his first goal in the following game against Zakho with a header in a match that ended in a 4–1 win for the Baghdad club, and later scored a last-minute winner against Al-Talaba in the Baghdad derby. His first season ended with a fourth place finish in the league and victory in the Iraq FA Cup Final, which was followed by winning the Iraqi Super Cup title. In the following season, Kalaf scored a late equalising goal against his former club Al-Shorta in the Baghdad derby and helped Al-Zawraa to win the 2017–18 Iraqi Premier League title. In total, Kalaf scored eight goals during his time with Al-Zawraa (six in the league, one in the FA Cup and one in the AFC Cup).

Al-Talaba (2018–2019)
Kalaf joined Al-Talaba in the 2018–19 season. He scored his first goal on 3 December with a last-minute equaliser against Naft Al-Wasat in the league, and later scored against Al-Karkh in the FA Cup and against Naft Al-Junoob in the league. Kalaf left the club in November 2019 citing unpaid wages.

International career
Kalaf's first international participation was for the Iraq U-17 team in 2005, when he was called up by coach Kadhim Khalaf for the qualifiers for the 2006 AFC U-17 Championship. Kalaf scored his first goal against China in the 2006 Tehran International Championship. Kalaf played a part in all three of Iraq's games at the 2006 AFC U-17 Championship, where Iraq were knocked out in the group stage with 2 draws and 1 loss. Also in 2006, Kalaf scored against Lebanon in the qualifiers for the Arab Junior Cup.

In 2008, Kalaf was called up for the Iraq school football team for the Pan Arab School Games in Jordan, and Kalaf scored two goals against Kuwait in the group stage, with Iraq eventually finishing fourth in the tournament. Qatar offered Kalaf a path to naturalisation after his impressive performance for the Iraq school team, but Kalaf refused.

Kalaf made his debut for the senior Iraq national team at the age of just 17 years old when Radhi Shenaishil called him up for a friendly with Saudi Arabia on 22 March 2009. Kalaf did not start the match but was subbed on for Halgurd Mulla Mohammed. 6 days later he made his second appearance, against South Korea, being subbed on for Herdi Nuraddin.

Kalaf scored the opening goal in a 2–0 win over Oman in 2010 AFC U-19 Championship qualification; Kalaf received a red card in the same match. On 16 January 2012, Kalaf played for the Iraq U-23 team in a match against FC Anzhi Makhachkala, with the likes of Samuel Eto'o and Roberto Carlos featuring for the Russian side. Iraq lost 1–0, but after the game Anzhi showed interest in Kalaf and got into contact with the player in an attempt to sign him, however the move never materialised and Kalaf remained at Al-Shorta. Kalaf participated in the 2012 Matchworld Cup for the U-23 team which started two days after the match with Anzhi. Iraq played three matches in the tournament, winning one and losing two, finishing 6th out of 8 teams.

Kalaf was called up for the Iraq senior team's 2012 WAFF Championship squad. He did not play the opening match, but was subbed onto the field on 52 minutes in the second match against Syria. He was subbed onto the field on 77 minutes in the semi-final, a 2–0 win over Oman, and was subbed on in the 74th minute of the final, but Iraq lost 1–0 to Syria and finished as the runners-up. Kalaf participated in the 2013 Islamic Solidarity Games for the Olympic team, scoring the first goal in Iraq's opening match, a 3–2 defeat to Turkey. Iraq drew their next game 0–0 against Syria, before drawing their final match 2–2 against Saudi Arabia, with Kalaf scoring Iraq's second goal in that match.

In the 2013 WAFF Championship, Kalaf played the full 90 minutes in both of Iraq's matches, but both games finished 0–0 and Iraq were knocked out in the group stage. Kalaf's first trophy on the international stage was the 2013 AFC U-22 Championship, which was actually played in January 2014. In the opening match against Saudi Arabia, Kalaf assisted two goals, both scored by Marwan Hussein, as Iraq won 3–1. In the second match, Kalaf assisted another goal for Hussein as Iraq beat Uzbekistan 2–1. Kalaf did not feature in the final group match against China. In the quarter-finals, Iraq played Japan. With the scores locked at 0–0 with six minutes left of the match, Kalaf went on a bursting run and rounded the keeper to score the winning goal and put Iraq into the semi-finals where they defeated South Korea 1–0. In the final, Iraq beat Saudi Arabia 1–0 to become the champions. Kalaf was awarded the MVP (Most Valuable Player) award for the tournament.

In the 2014 Asian Games tournament, Kalaf was one of Iraq's key players. He assisted a goal for Younis Mahmoud in the opening match, a 4–0 win against Nepal, before Iraq beat Japan 3–1 and Kuwait 3–0 to reach the knockout stage. In the round of 16, Iraq beat Tajikistan 4–2, with Kalaf assisting the opening goal with a cross converted by Humam Tariq. Iraq defeated Saudi Arabia 3–0 in the quarter-finals, but lost 1–0 to North Korea in the semi-finals after extra time. They beat Thailand 1–0 in the third place playoff to earn a bronze medal.

Kalaf was called up for Iraq senior team's 22nd Arabian Gulf Cup squad in 2014. He was on the bench for all three matches, but was subbed onto the field in the second half of all three games. Iraq ended with 1 draw and 2 losses and were knocked out at the group stage. After this disappointing tournament, Radhi Shenaishil was reappointed as Iraq manager and he called up Kalaf for his 2015 AFC Asian Cup squad. Shenaishil showed faith in Kalaf, and Kalaf started all three group matches, being subbed off late on in the last two. Iraq beat Jordan 1–0 and Palestine 2–0 and lost 1–0 against Japan to qualify for the quarter-finals. In the quarter-finals, Iraq drew 3–3 with Iran after extra-time and won 7–6 on penalties to qualify to the semi-finals. Kalaf was on the bench but was substituted onto the field in the 107th minute. He did not take a penalty in the shootout. Kalaf played all 90 minutes of the semi-final which Iraq lost 2–0 against South Korea. In the third place playoff against United Arab Emirates, Kalaf provided an assist for Iraq's first goal and then scored his first senior international goal to put Iraq 2–1 up, but Iraq ended up losing 3–2 to finish fourth. Kalaf was subbed off on 86 minutes in this match. Kalaf returned to the national team in 2017 when he was called up by Radhi Shenaishil for the FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

Style of play
Kalaf's main attribute is his blistering pace. Described as "a gazelle on the wings", Kalaf (being the son of a former sprinter) has often made bursting, defence splitting runs down the right flank. He is also praised for his heading ability as he has scored many goals for Al-Shorta using his head, and his clinical finishing has allowed him to score more than a half-century of goals for his club. When played on the wing, he is capable of creating goals by putting in low or high crosses into the penalty area, as demonstrated by the fact that all of his assists in the 2013 AFC U-22 Championship and 2014 Asian Games tournaments were from crosses.

Gooderham and Worts, also known as Gooderham & Worts Limited, was a Canadian distiller of alcoholic beverages. It was once one of the largest distillers in Canada. The company was merged in 1926 with Hiram Walker & Sons Ltd., and the merged firm was eventually sold to Allied Lyons in 1987.

The company's distillery facility on the Toronto waterfront was closed in the 1990s. The buildings, dating to the 1860s, were preserved and repurposed as an arts and entertainment district that is called the Distillery District. In 1998, the Gooderham and Worts Distillery was named one of the National Historic Sites of Canada.

Early history

The business was founded by James Worts and his brother-in-law, William Gooderham. Worts had owned a mill in Diss, England, then moved to Toronto in 1831 and established himself in the same line of work. He built a prominent windmill on the Toronto waterfront, near the mouth of the Don River. The next year, Gooderham joined him in Toronto and in the business. The business prospered, processing grain from Ontario farmers and then shipping it out via the port of Toronto.

In 1834, Worts's wife, Elizabeth, died during childbirth. Two weeks later, Worts killed himself by throwing himself into the windmill's well and drowning. Gooderham continued the business himself. With a surplus of wheat, Gooderham expanded in 1837 into brewing and distilling, and soon this lucrative trade became the primary focus of the business. Gooderham served as the sole manager of the business until 1845, when he made Worts's eldest son, James Gooderham Worts, co-manager.

In 1859, work began on a new distillery complex, the area that today is the Distillery District. It was built on the waterfront, with easy access to Toronto's main train lines. In 1862, its first full year of production, the facility made some  of spirits. At that time, it was a full quarter of all the spirits produced in Canada.

Expansion

In the second half of the 19th century, the firm rose to become one of Canada's most prominent industrial concerns. Under the control of William's son, George Gooderham (1830–1905), production increased to over two million gallons a year, half of the entire spirits production of Canada. The distillery itself expanded, becoming one of Toronto's largest employers.

As well as keeping interests in the milling and brewing trades, the company expanded into other ventures. It had a controlling interest in the Toronto and Nipissing Railway, one of the main lines that transported grain from the rural regions north of Toronto. In 1892, the company constructed the Gooderham Building, still a notable Toronto landmark, as its new headquarters.

By the end of the nineteenth century, the company's growth began to slow. Beer and wine became more popular in Canada, reducing sales of whisky. The rise of the temperance movement also harmed the company, with the Ontario Temperance Act of 1916 banning the sale of alcohol in the province. The company survived by exporting alcohol beyond Ontario, such as to Quebec, where a good portion would then make its way back to Ontario. The firm also relied on its other ventures, most notably the production of antifreeze, which was essential to the war effort and to the growing number of automobiles.

Later history
In 1923, the company was sold to Harry C. Hatch for $1.5 million. The company gained a large share of the United States market during prohibition, legally manufacturing it in Canada and then selling it to resellers, who would smuggle it into the United States.

In 1926, Hatch purchased Canada's second-largest distiller, Hiram Walker & Sons Ltd., the makers of Canadian Club. The new company was named Hiram Walker-Gooderham & Worts Ltd. It continued manufacturing spirits at the Toronto distillery, but production gradually declined.

In 1927, at a hearing on tax evasion charges against Gooderham and Worts, notorious bootlegger Rocco Perri admitted buying whisky from the distiller from 1924 to 1927. Gooderham and Worts was convicted of tax evasion in 1928 and had to pay a fine of $439,744.

In 1987, the firm was sold to the British concern Allied Lyons. By 1990, the manufacturing facility had been closed down because it was obsolete. During the years the site was vacant, it was used for filming movies and commercials. Some of the films that used the location include Tommy Boy, X-Men, The Hurricane and Chicago.  Also used for 40's Harlem in the PAX TV series Twice in A Lifetime and exterior sets for Friday the 13th: The Series.

The site would eventually be converted into the Distillery District, including the Young Centre for the Performing Arts that opened in 2006. The complex has been owned by a group called Cityscape since 2002; the owners were responsible for converting 24 buildings into spaces for artist and galleries.

The Hiram Walker & Sons Distillery, now owned by Pernod Ricard, makes Gooderham & Worts brand whiskies but does so at its plant in Windsor, Ontario. The production of the American bourbon whiskies formerly owned by Gooderham and Worts has since been taken over by Laird & Company.

The distillery complex, and the 30 buildings on the property, were designated as a National Historic Site of Canada in 1988 because "it is an imposing landmark, containing a number of buildings that collectively bear witness to the evolution of the Canadian distilling industry".

Canal Street is a yearly music festival in Arendal, Aust-Agder, Norway.

The festival was first presented in 1996 as Arendal Jazz & Blues Festival, but in the later years it has grown to emphasize quality music of all genres.

History
The festival is known for its use of unusual venues, such as Jazz at the Lille Torungen Lighthouse,  Merdø Uthavn, Kolbjørnsvik and "Føling på fyllinga" at the local waste dump, Heftingsdalen.

Canal Street was for a long time one of few Norwegian festivals in which jazz and blues are the main genres, though rock and world music where performed as well.

Arendal was a town of canals. One of the remains from the canal era is Canal Place, for many years one of the main venues of the festival.

Canal Street was certified as a "green venue" in 2006 as one of the first festivals in Norway. Canal Street joined the UN's Carbon Neutral Network and supported Earth Hour 2009.

Papawera zelandiae, common name the white bubble shell, is a species of medium-sized sea snail or bubble snail, a marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusc in the family Haminoeidae, the bubble snails.

Systematics
The white bubble shell was in the past classified in the genus Haminoea. However, Oskars et al. (2019) placed this species and Haminoea maugeansis in the new genus Papawera after DNA-based cladistic analysis found both species closely related to Smaragdinella.

nl:This Is Who We Are


Walking Tall: The Payback is a 2007 American action-thriller film, released direct-to-video as a stand-alone sequel to the 2004 film Walking Tall. Directed by Tripp Reed, it stars Kevin Sorbo, A.J. Buckley, Haley Ramm, Bentley Mitchum, Jennifer Sipes, Brad Leland, Charles Baker and Marc Macaulay.

The film has a western theme with country and western music used in its score, representing a cliché story from western movies in a modern setting. Its main character's name is Nick Prescott, unlike the original's Buford Pusser or the remake's Chris Vaughn.

Plot
Ex-military Nick Prescott returns to his hometown. His father, who is the sheriff, tries to stand up against a brutal gang of ruthless criminals who intimidate and blackmail the people to sell them their business. He is then killed by the gang's leader Harvey Morris. With the help of an FBI agent and a few old friends, Nick himself becomes the sheriff, then vows to do everything in his power to destroy the gang and their ruthless leader, and win back his city. Eventually he shoots Morris and his gang and becomes the new sheriff of his hometown.

Controversy
There was some controversy before this film's release, as Dwana Pusser (daughter of Buford Pusser) released a statement on her website condemning this movie and its upcoming sequel, saying "I have read the scripts and they are very vulgar. As a Christian woman I am very upset with the direction the movies have taken."

is a former Japanese idol and singer from the girl group NMB48, in which she is the co-captain of Team BII. She was also a member of the AKB48 and its subunit DiVA.

Biography

2004–2007: Early career, debut, injury
In 2004–2005, Umeda took part in the Morning Musume Lucky 7 Audition for the idol group Morning Musume, but only advanced to the second round.

On February 26, 2006, Umeda passed the second generation auditions for AKB48, and became one of 19 founding members for the group's Team K. Her on-stage debut was on April 1.  She performed on the title track for AKB48's first single on a major label, "Aitakatta", released on October 26, 2006. As part of Team K 1st Stage, she was a front member for the song "Skirt, Hirari", along with Sayaka Akimoto, Yuko Oshima, Sae Miyazawa, and Kana Kobayashi.

Later in the year, Umeda developed a stress fracture in her foot, and was recommended by her manager to take a break from her performances to rehabilitate, starting December 23. Her rehabilitation took about a year, during which she was active on TV in Fukuoka Prefecture.

2008–2011: Return to AKB48
On May 31, 2008, Umeda returned to public performances with the premiere of a new seasonal Team K's show at the AKB48 Theater, titled Team K 4th Stage "Saishū Bell ga Naru". Prior to her injuries, she was one of the faces of Team K, but after her return, she was placed at the very end of the stage, extremely far from the center position where she used to stand.

In February 2009, Umeda was chosen as the D1 Grand Prix image girl.

In April, she was named the Tokyo Tower image girl for the year 2009, succeeding fellow AKB48 member Ayumi Orii.

In the AKB48 general election for 2010, Umeda placed 32nd, with 2,499 votes.

2011: Diva, rise in AKB48
On February 27, 2011, it was announced to the public that a new pop group named DiVA, consisting of Sayaka Akimoto, Yuka Masuda, Sae Miyazawa, and Ayaka Umeda had been formed. The group's debut single "Tsuki no Uragawa", whose release was originally scheduled for April 27, and postponed until May 18 due to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, reached number 3 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

In the annual election, she placed 22nd, and headlined the Under Girls on the single's coupling track. In the AKB48 rock-paper-scissors tournament, which took place on September 20, she finished in the top 16, which earned her a spot on the title track. The song "Ue kara Mariko" became her first A-side of an AKB48's single in three and a half years, since "Baby! Baby! Baby!".

2012: Team B captain
On June 6, in the AKB48 general election, she placed 16th and landed a spot on the title track for "Gingham Check".

On August 24, AKB48 announced a major reorganization, where Umeda moved to Team B and became the team's captain.

In the third AKB48 rock-paper-scissors tournament, which took place in September 2012, Umeda advanced to the top 16, and secured a title track spot on the group's 29th single, "Eien Pressure".

2013: Senbatsu Election

Umeda ranked 19th in AKB48's general election, placing her in Undergirls and subsequently giving her a spot on the main B-side track of the election single, Koi Suru Fortune Cookie.

2014: Transfer to NMB48

On February 24, 2014, in the AKB48 Dai Sokaku Matsuri Shuffle, Umeda was completely transferred to NMB48 and became co-captain of Team BII.

2016: Departing NMB48

On January 23, 2016, at AKB48 Request Hour Setlist Best 100 2016, Umeda announced of leaving NMB48. On March 20, she graduated from the group and her graduation ceremony was hold on March 31, 2016, at Zepp Namba.

Mir-Hossein Mousavi Khameneh (Persian: میرحسین موسوی خامنه) served as the last Prime Minister of Iran, from 1981 to 1989, before the position was abolished in the 1989 review of the Iranian constitution. In the years leading up to the Islamic Revolution, Mousavi and his wife, Zahra Rahnavard, moved to the United States; they returned to Iran shortly after the establishment of the Islamic Republic.

Hassan Ayat (PhD) and Abdolhamid Diyalameh (PhD and MP) attempted to remove Mousavi and Rahnavard from the government; both men were killed under suspicious circumstances. After 20 years of absence from Iranian politics, Mousavi announced his candidacy in the 2009 Iranian Presidential election.

Past elections
Mousavi refused to run for President in the 1997 Iranian Presidential election. This led the reformists to choose Mohammad Khatami, who won a landslide victory. Mousavi's wife would later explain in an interview that her husband had not run in the 1997 election because of  discouraging messages from "the higher officials", a hint possibly towards the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and/or the then President, Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani.

Mousavi was considered a possible reformist candidate in the 2005 Iranian Presidential election; he stated, however, on October 12, 2004, he would not run.  This decision followed a meeting with President Mohammad Khatami and the two other high-ranking members of the Association of Combatant Clerics, Mehdi Karroubi and Mohammad Mousavi-Khoiniha.

Campaign news

Platform
Mousavi ran as an independent Principled Reformist candidate. Although one of the original founders of the Iranian reformist camp, he shares many conservative principles. Many reformist parties, among them reformist Islamic Iranian Participation Front (whose main candidate was Khatami), supported his candidacy after Khatami withdrew from the race. Many supporters of the reformist movement, however, objected to Mousavi's candidacy on the grounds he was not committed to the principles of the reformist parties. Although Mousavi stated he was not running as a reformist, he indicated he welcomed the support of different parties, both reformist and conservative. He started his campaign from the center of Iranian politics, but over time shifted more towards the reformist camp by declaring his support for reform. Although some active members of the conservative camp, such as Emad Afroogh, and the conservative newspaper Jomhouri Eslami, supported Mousavi's candidacy, he did not receive the official backing of any major conservative party. His candidacy made it harder for the conservatives to support Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and large conservative parties, such as the Combatant Clergy Association, did not back Ahmadinejad (the then current President) for a second term of office.

The BBC reported Mousavi "called for greater personal freedoms in Iran and criticised the ban on private television channels", but "refused to back down from the country's disputed nuclear programme, saying it is "for peaceful purposes".

On May 30, Mousavi pledged that, if elected, he would amend "discriminatory and unjust regulations" against women, and take other measures in favour of women's rights and equality.

Iran blocks Facebook

On May 23, 2009, the Iranian government blocked access to Facebook across the country, but rescinded the blockage after public protests. The Guardian reported the blockage had been a response to the use of Facebook by the candidates running against Ahmadinejad. Mousavi had great support from those using social networking sites such as Facebook; PC World reported Mousavi's Facebook page had more than 6,600 supporters at the time.

Endorsements

Election

According to official results, Mousavi lost the 2009 election. Accusations of fraud were, however, widespread; the results announcement led to widespread protests, which were suppressed by the Iranian government.

The Catholic University Cardinals football team represents the Catholic University of America in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III college football competition as a member of the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC). The team played its first game in 1895 and was a major college team in the first half of the 20th century, into the 1940s. The football program was put on hiatus during World War II, and then discontinued shortly afterwards. In 1965, football returned to the university at the club level, and, in 1977, re-entered NCAA competition as part of Division III. The Cardinals have participated in the Division III playoffs three times in the late 1990s and have secured two Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) championships. The head coach is Mike Gutelius.

History
Catholic's first known intercollegiate football game came on Thanksgiving Day, November 28, 1895, in Emmitsburg, Maryland. They faced Mount Saint Mary's, of which six of the eleven Catholic players were alums. A contemporary article in The Mountaineer, the Mount Saint Mary's student newspaper, described it as being "rather warm for hard foot-ball playing, and consequently neither team seemed to play with much snap or vim." The Mountaineers scored a touchdown immediately before halftime to take a 4–0 lead. Catholic recovered a blocked field goal attempt and ran it back 92 yards for the equalizing score. Mount Saint Mary's later pulled away with a safety and a touchdown with two-point kick. The final result was 12–4.

In the 1920s, the Catholic "Red and Black" became known as the "Cardinals", sometimes expanded to the "Flying Cardinals" or, less often, the "Fighting Cardinals". Brookland Stadium/ Killion Field opened on October 4, 1924, and helped to increase the prominence of the football team. In 1930, Catholic secured former Minnesota assistant Arthur "Dutch" Bergman as their new head coach. During his tenure, Bergman scheduled teams farther afield such as , , , and .

In 1935, the Cardinals finished the regular season with a 7–1 record. The Catholic defense recorded three shutouts, allowed only 34 points, and no rushing touchdowns. The performance impressed the Orange Bowl committee enough for it to extend an invitation to play against Mississippi in the 1936 Orange Bowl. During the game, Bill Adamaitis caught a pass for the first touchdown and then threw for another score. He became the first of only three players to score both receiving and passing touchdowns in the same Orange Bowl. Ole Miss responded when Ned Peters ran for a 67-yard touchdown for a 13–6 halftime mark. In the second half, the Cardinals blocked a punt and returned it 20 yards for the score. Ole Miss recorded two more touchdowns, but missed the penultimate extra point, which proved Catholic's margin of victory, 20–19.

In 1939, Catholic achieved five shutouts in its 8–1 regular season record, and secured its second bowl game appearance. They faced Tempe Normal Teacher's College (now Arizona State) in the 1940 Sun Bowl. The result was a scoreless stalemate, unusual in the fact that the teams had scored a total of 512 points during the season. After the game, both coaches claimed to have the superior team to the media. Dixie Howell of Tempe said, "I believe we had the better team ... and would have won if we had gotten a break at the right time." Bergman responded, "Tempe is a fast, powerful team, but we didn’t play our top game by any means ... I think we are capable of beating Tempe six days out of the week."  During that game Washington Redskins player and future  Pro Football Hall of Famer Wayne Millner served as an assistant coach.

From 1941 to 1946, football was discontinued due to World War II. Bergman finished his career at Catholic with a 59–31–4 record as the winningest coach in school history. He later coached the Washington Redskins in 1943, when they made an NFL playoff appearance. When the team was resurrected after the war, the Cardinals could not replicate their previous success. In four seasons, three different coaches posted a combined 7–18–2 record. The team was disbanded in 1950. A trial game was played against Saint Peter's College in 1965, and football revived the following year at the club level.

In 1977, varsity football returned to Catholic with its entry into NCAA Division III competition. The team joined the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) in 1981, leaving the conference in 1989 to be a founding member of the Capital Athletic Conference (CAC). In 1997, the Cardinals, under head coach Tom Clark, made their first appearance in the Division III playoffs, losing 44–33 against Trinity. They returned to the playoffs in 1998, where they lost to Lycoming College, 49–14, In 1999, CUA returned to the ODAC  and that season they secured the conference championship with a 6–0 conference record  and made their third consecutive NCAA playoff appearance. They lost those NCAA playoffs to Western Maryland College (now called McDaniel College), 20–16.

In 2008, the Cardinals finished 4–2 in the ODAC and earned a four-way share of the conference title. Catholic earned a bid to the ECAC Southeast Bowl against Johns Hopkins and won, 18–17. It was the first postseason victory for the Cardinals since 1936. In 2011, Catholic's quarterback Greg Cordivari won the Melberger Award, for Division III's top football player in the nation.

The team joined the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference on July 1, 2017.

Rivalry games
An important rivalry in Cardinals' history has been the game against the Division I Georgetown Hoyas, where the Steven Dean Memorial Trophy was in dispute. The series started at Brookland Stadium in 1976. There was a 16-year gap between the 1993 meeting at Cardinal Stadium and the 2019 season opener at Cooper Field. The record now stands with Georgetown having 10 wins and the Cardinals having nine.

Achievements

Abd al-Qadir Qaddura () was a Syrian politician who was a leading member of the Syria-based wing of the Ba'ath Party, in the era of President Hafez al-Assad (in power 1970–2000). Qaddura served as speaker of the People's Council—the Syrian parliament—for much of the 1990s. He lost his post on the Ba'ath Party's leading board, the Regional Command, in 2005, as President Bashar al-Assad retired several main names from the Hafiz era.

Early life and education
Born in 1935 in the Circassian village of Bariqa, Qaddura was the son of Ibrahim al-Mughribi, chief of the Damascus Police during the era of President Mohammad Ali al-Abid (1932–1936). Mughrabi, of Libyan origin, often advised his son not to work in politics, saying, "A stranger should behave...what do you think you are going to become, another Shukri al-Quwatli?"

Qaddura studied briefly at the American University of Beirut, then went into the Chemistry Department at Damascus University. During the 1950s, Qaddura rose to fame as a student activist in the Ba'ath Party, long before it came to power, and co-staged demonstrations to bring down the regime of President Adib al-Shishakli in 1954. During the early years of Ba'ath Party rule, he was arrested twice, spending a total of two years in jail, and was expelled from the party by its strongman, Salah Jadid, only to be released after the Arab-Israeli War of 1967. During his prison term, he spent time at the infamous Tadmor prison with ranking pre-Ba'ath politicians like Rushdi al-Kikhya, of the Aleppo-based, People's Party.

Career
Qadddura become a ranking member of the Syrian government after Hafiz al-Assad came to power in 1970. He served in the state-run public sector, as CEO of Tameco, manufacturing medicine, and became Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs in 1980–1985. Twice he served as Acting Prime Minister but left his job to become Head of the Economic Bureau at the Regional Command of the Ba'ath Party in the 1980s. Qaddura became Speaker of the Syrian Parliament in 1987, and held this job non-stop, until he was replaced in 2003. Qaddura is the longest serving speaker in Syrian history, followed immediately by Faris al-Khoury, who stayed at the job for 9-years.

Personal life
He was married to a Damascene lady from the Jouakhi family and had four children, Nourallah, Louai, Azzah, and Layla. His eldest son Nourallah, an ophthalmologist, poet, and musician, who married the niece of Syrian Ambassador to the UK, Sami Khiyami. His son Qays died in a car accident in 1992, while studying medicine at Damascus University.

Qaddura died on 30 July 2013.

The Joseph Smith Mansion House in Nauvoo, Illinois is a building constructed by Joseph Smith, the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement. Smith used the house as a personal home, a public boarding house, a hotel, and as a site for the performance of temple ordinances.

In January 1841, Smith declared in a revelation that Latter Day Saint Robert D. Foster should fulfill the contract he had entered into to build a house for Smith to live in. The house was constructed by Foster, and the Smith family moved into the Mansion House on August 31, 1843. The house was a two-storey building built of white pine in the Greek Revival style.

Initially, Smith used the house to entertain guests in Nauvoo, giving visitors free room and board. However, because he was unable to cover the expenses that this free lodging entailed, Smith began charging guests in September 1843 and running the Mansion House as a hotel. A sign posted on the front of his house on September 15, 1843 read:
In consequence of my house being constantly crowded with strangers and other persons wishing to see me, or who had business in the city, I found myself unable to support so much company free of charge, which I have done from the foundation of the Church. My house has been a home and restingplace for thousands, and my family many times obliged to do without food, after having fed all they had to visitors; and I could have continued the same liberal course, had it not been for the cruel and untiring persecution of my relentless enemies. I have been reduced to the necessity of opening "The Mansion" as a hotel. I have provided the best table accommodations in the city; and the Mansion, being large and convenient, renders travelers more comfortable than any other place on the Upper Mississippi. I have erected a large and commodious brick stable, and it is capable of accommodating seventy-five horses at one time, storing the requisite amount of forage, and is unsurpassed by any similar establishment in the State.

At one point Smith had installed a bar, but quickly reversed his action at the request of his wife, Emma. In January 1844, Smith leased the hotel to Ebenezer Robinson, who continued to operate it.

The mummies and papyri from which the Book of Abraham is claimed to be derived were also displayed to visitors in the mansion house for 25 cents.

Prior to the completion of the Nauvoo Temple, Smith performed some temple ordinances in the Mansion House.

After Smith and his brother Hyrum were killed in Carthage Jail in June 1844, their bodies were displayed in the Mansion House, where approximately ten thousand people viewed the bodies on June 29. George Q. Cannon constructed the Smiths' death masks in the house.

Emma Smith and her children continued to live in the Mansion House. After Emma Smith married Lewis C. Bidamon in 1847, they lived in the house until 1869, when they moved to the Nauvoo House. In the 1890s, the hotel wing of the home was removed.

In 1918, Frederick A. Smith, Joseph Smith's grandson, deeded the Mansion House to the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (RLDS Church). The Mansion House is still owned by the RLDS Church, which is now called the Community of Christ, and it operates the house as a historical site and a tourist museum. The Mansion House is part of the Nauvoo Historic District, a National Historic Landmark.

Chasma Boreale is a large canyon in Mars's north polar ice cap in the Mare Boreum quadrangle of Mars at 83° north latitude and 47.1° west longitude. It is about  long and was named after a classical albedo feature name.  The canyon's sides reveal layered features within the ice cap that result from seasonal melting and deposition of ice, together with dust deposits from Martian dust storms. Information about the past climate of Mars may eventually be revealed in these layers, just as tree ring patterns and ice core data do on Earth. Both polar caps also display grooved features, probably caused by wind flow patterns. The grooves are also influenced by the amount of dust. The more dust, the darker the surface. The darker the surface, the more melting as dark surfaces absorb more energy.

Royal war and popular (or people's) war (Guerra regia e guerra di popolo) is a recurring concept in the historiography of the Italian Risorgimento, referring to the two possible forms in which the whole of Italy could be conquered and formed into a single independent state.

First Italian Independence War
In the First Independence War for Italy, which ended unfavourably for the Risorgimento cause, there was a balance between two initiatives: people's war and royal war. The notable moments in the people's war were:
the Five Days of Milan, chronologically the first notable action that led to the Austrians' exit from Milan, which was thus brought about solely by a spontaneous revolt by the city's inhabitants.
the Repubblica di San Marco, which governed Venice from 17 March 1848 to 22 August 1849 and only fell after a hard-fought siege.
the Ten Days of Brescia, in which Brescia's inhabitants responded to Austrian repression by resisting their troops from 23 March (the day of Piedmont's defeat at Novara) to 1 April 1849.
the Roman Republic from 24 November 1848 (the flight of pope Pius IX) to 3 July 1849.

The royal war was the campaign by the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia, including the battles of Goito, Peschiera del Garda, Custoza and Novara.

Second Italian Independence War
The Second Independence War was a typical example of royal war led by Victor Emmanuel II, allied to Napoleon III in conducting a war against Austria. The people's war was only a minor support Hunters of the Alps, a corps of volunteers commanded by Giuseppe Garibaldi and considered as a special unit within the royal army.

Expedition of the Thousand
The Expedition of the Thousand was entirely a people's war, with Garibaldi being its central figure.

Third Italian Independence War
In the Third Independence War, with the Italian defeats at Custoza and Lissa, was essentially a royal war, though the corps of volunteers under Garibaldi did win a victory at Bezzecca.

Analogy with the Resistance
The same contrast between royal war and people's war can be applied to the history of the Second World War, when a disastrous war under the royal and fascist régime was followed by the people's war of the Italian Resistance.

James Lock (23 June 1939 – 11 February 2009) was an English sound engineer, who worked on recordings by many of the most celebrated and demanding figures in classical music. Most of his life he worked for Decca. He said he had always wanted to work for them — he joined them in 1963 and stayed for nearly 40 years.

Biography
James Lock was born in Bromley, South-East London, England and educated at Canterbury Technical College. On leaving school he was about to join the Royal Navy but then changed his mind. He secured a traineeship at the International Broadcasting Company. After three years, he moved, in 1959, to Saga Records until he had to start National Service. Afterwards, he wrote to Decca and was accepted.

One of his first jobs was in John Culshaw's Decca team recording Solti's Ring Cycle in Vienna. He was closely involved in the development of stereo recording and made many highly regarded recordings, among them: Zubin Mehta’s Turandot with Joan Sutherland, Pavarotti Montserrat Caballe and the London Philharmonic Orchestra and von Karajan’s La Boheme (1972).

He said the essentials of a good recording, in order, were "the work, the performance and then the sound". He was said to be able to judge a hall quickly just by clapping his hands. For this reason he was much in demand as a consultant for the renovation of concert halls. He also worked on one-off and outdoor venues, most famously the Three Tenors concert on the eve of the 1990 World Cup Final, which brought opera to the attention of many who had previously ignored it.

Winner of two Grammy Awards (one for Mahler's Ninth Symphony with Solti), James Lock's recordings always presented us with a lush and very pristine sound—atmospheric but, at the same time, with pinpoint instruments. In this way, he managed to get what every classical music sound engineer may have spent a [lifetime looking] after without getting it: a recording capable of capturing the venue's acoustics without losing the focus of the orchestra in different sections.

After leaving Decca in 1997, as a consequence of the amazing job he did in Caracalla, Lock started a career as sound consultant for live amplified classical music performances and helped many outside venues to present symphonic music to the masses. In 2005, he helped the Portuguese Gulbenkian Orchestra with its summer outdoor performances.

Lock retired in 1999 but continued to work as a consultant. In June 2007, he joined the studio staff of Portuguese studio O Ganho do Som as resident engineer and consultant. In the summer of 2008, he started to write The Other Side of the Microphone, an autobiography about his Decca years and the human experience of recording great musicians.

In his spare time he was a keen gardener and competed in competitions. He was unmarried.

Jean Félix-Tchicaya was a Congolese politician in the French colony of Middle Congo. He was born in Libreville on November 9, 1903, and was a member of the royal family of the Kingdom of Loango.

In 1945, he was elected as the first deputy for Middle-Congo and the Gabon in the French National Assembly, a seat he retained until the end of the French Fourth Republic. He helped found the Congolese Progressive Party (PPC), a Congolese branch of the African Democratic Rally, in 1946.

He died in Pointe Noire on January 15, 1961, seeing his rival Fulbert Youlou gain power over a newly independent Republic of Congo.

Early life
Born at Libreville from the prominent Vili-speaking Congolese Bulolo clan, originally coming from the settlement of Diosso, Jean Félix-Tchicaya studied at the small public school in Libreville.

Louis Mbouyou Portella, his grand father was one of the wealthiest traders of Loango area at that time.

In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, many people from coastal Congo-Brazzaville moved to Libreville and Grand-Bassam. Moreover, until independence in 1960, Gabonese and Congolese intellectuals and white collar workers regularly moved back and forth from Brazzaville to Libreville.

Thus, Tchicaya father's like many of his immigrants fellows, worked as a tailor, - a noble work at that time among Vili people like tusk carver-.

In 1918, according to his intellectual ability, Tchicaya received a scholarship to study at Ecole William Ponty in Gorée Island, near from Dakar, the most highly regarded public school in all of French West and Equatorial Africa.

During his stay in Dakar from 1918 to 1921, future African French parliamentary deputies and major political figures such as Félix Houphouët-Boigny, Mamba Sano, numbered among his classmates. Lamine Gueye another future African French parliamentary deputy was their teacher in mathematics.

Once completed his schooling in 1921 along with his cousin Hervé-Mapako Gnali (Mambou Aimée Gnali father's), becoming the first Congolese teachers, he returned to Libreville to teach classes at a primary school. Following his grand father advice, he left this position in 1924 to join the giant Congo Ocean Railway project.

Political career

L'Harmonie de Pointe-Noire
Jean Félix-Tchicaya founded a musical and social group called 'L'Harmonie de Pointe-Noire' and coauthored petitions claiming improving right for Western educated Africans. Among the successes was the freedom and the recovering of the Ma-Loango Moe "Kata Matou" AKA Moe Poaty II or N'Gangue M'Voumbe Tchiboukil, the traditional ruler of Vili speaking clans of Kingdom of Loango. This ruler ascended to the throne in 1923 and was deposed in 1926 by the colonial administration for restoring the poison of the ordeal (NKassa in Vili language).
The removal of the French official whose policies was seen detrimental to Vili people was another success of Tchicaya.

In the wake of the Communist-Socialist Popular Front electoral victory in France in 1936, Tchicaya had the organizational ability and the connections to take advantage of the mild reforms that came to French Equatorial Africa. Joseph Reste, his Governor General set up a council of administration with some position for elected African representative s.

In 1937 and 1939, Tchicaya led the victorious campaign of the mixed-race Vili man Louis Oliveira. This allowed a formal venue for indigenous elite in politics although this council could not contravene the colonial administration.

First election to the Constituent National Assembly
At the end of the World War II, France was bloodless. Through a Constituent assembly, it is putting in place new institutions to revive the political activity of the country. The representativeness of France is then extended to the Overseas territories such as the AEF, whose indigenous people have the possibility of electing representatives. While the old colonies like the West Indies elect their deputies by universal suffrage, FEA (French Equatorial Africa)  and FWA (French Western Africa), have two separate electoral colleges: the first reserved for metropolitan citizens and the second for non-citizens. Gabon and the Middle Congo, because of their small population, constitute a single electoral district for the election of a member for this second college.

In the process of being demobilized from the French colonial army, Jean-Félix Tchicaya is contacted by the notables of Pointe-Noire, by telegram, to apply for the territory of Gabon-Middle Congo.

On December 7, 1945, after a second round, Jean Félix-Tchicaya was elected member of the assembly, edging out Jean-Hilaire Aubame, Jacques Opangault, Issembé and François-Moussa Simon.

Congolese Progressive Party

Foundation of the party
In 1946, Jean Félix-Tchicaya, slayer of Colonialism at the French National Assembly, where he sits throughout the 4th Republic, founded his party the CPP (Congolese Progressive Party), Congolese section of the African Democratic Rally, close to the French Communist Party, with young executives such as Emmanuel Damongo-Dadet, Joseph Pouabou or Robert Stéphane Tchitchelle. The latter, the right-hand of the founder, will be the leader of the party in Pointe-Noire and Kouilou. He rallies all the railroaders of the CFCO (Congo-Ocean railway).

Jean Félix-Tchicaya is the vice-Chairman of the Coordinating Committee for the very recent African Democratic Rally (RDA) of his friend Félix Houphouët-Boigny.

The talisman of the party was the leopard in reference to the affiliation of Tchicaya to the reigning family of the Kingdom of Loango.

Split of the party and end of reign
In November 1955, after the budgetary session of the Territorial Assembly, a dissent appeared within the CPP.  In the course of a confab held in Pointe-Noire, in the presence of the leader Tchicaya, in the Mpita property of Germain Bicoumat, a notable Vili man, several territorial councillors resign from the party. They reproach Tchicaya for its lack of consultation in some decisions (appointment of elected officials to positions of responsibility, the dissimilarity of CPP in the RDA following the accession of Fulbert Youlou).

These are the elected representatives of the Niari department: Simon-Pierre Kikhounga-Ngot, Auguste Nzoungou, Raymond Ango; Of the elected representatives of the Pool department: Prosper Decorad, Louis Vouama, Toundé Néré, Jean Maniaki, Nicolas Bakala and the elected member of the Kouilou department: Robert Stéphane Tchitchelle.

Tchitchellé joined Abbé Youlou to establish the UDDIA (Democratic Union for the defence of African interests). The latter party, by mobilizing the laris politically, takes political leadership on the CPP. and allowed Stéphane Tchitchelle to become the first indigenous mayor of Pointe-Noire, before occupying several ministerial positions.

All these events will mark the eclipse of Jean Félix-Tchicaya and his party the CPP after more than ten years of reign without discontinuing on the political chessboard.
