The Fjord City () is an urban renewal project for the waterfront part of the centre of Oslo, Norway. The first redevelopment was at Aker Brygge during the 1980s. Bjørvika and Tjuvholmen followed up during the 2000s, while the remaining parts of the Port of Oslo will be developed in the 2010s. The port will be relocated to Sørhavna. The planning is performed by the Oslo Waterfront Planning Office. Major investments in the area include a new Central Railway Station, an already completed Oslo Opera House, and the commercial buildings in the Barcode Project. Several large cultural institutions will be moved to Bjørvika, including moving the Oseberg Ship, Oslo Public Library, and the Munch Museum. The main barrier between the city and the fjord will disappear when European Route E18 is relocated to the Bjørvika Tunnel.

Projects

Development of the Tjuvholmen commenced in 2008. This is a mixed residential and commercial area, and home to the Norwegian National Academy of Ballet.

Filipstad, a  container port,  will receive a  park, and  of buildings. 50% of the area will be housing, providing 2,200 apartments.

Aker Brygge, developed during the 1980s, is also a mixture of residential and commercial zones. It contains the corporate headquarters of several of Norway's largest companies, including DnB NOR, Aker, and Storebrand. Vestbanen rail terminal will host the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design and the Nobel Peace Center.

The City Hall Square transport hub and Pipervika  neighbourhood were renewed in the 1960s, when the surrounding slums were removed. In 1994, the main square became car-free, after the opening of the Festning Tunnel.

Vippetangen and Akershusstranda will receive little renewal, since the area features the national monument of Akershus Fortress.

Bjørvika harbour will be extensively renovated following European Route E18 being moved to the Bjørvika Tunnel. This will free up large areas, and a new main avenue, Dronning Eufemias gate, will be constructed. South of the street is the new Oslo Opera House (opened in 2008), and the area will also feature the Munch Museum, the Stenersen Museum and the Oslo Public Library. North of the street, there will be twelve skyscrapers. Oslo Central Station will be completely rebuilt, and only the tracks and platforms will be preserved.

Sørengautstikkeren, Loenga, and Grønlia were part of the port and railway infrastructure. Grønlia and Sørenga will lose the port facilities, and will mainly be zoned as residential areas. Loenga will retain some railway infrastructure.

Kongshavn, Sjursøya, Ormsund, and Bekkelaget were previously planned as part of the Fjord City, but have been removed from the plans and will continue to be part of the port.

Transport

The main transport link to Fjord City will be the Oslo Tramway. The first part was opened in 1995, when the Vika Line was built to serve Vika, Aker Brygge, and The City Hall Square. After 2014, the plan is to reroute the Ekeberg Line via Dronning Eufemias gate, and a new tram line will be constructed around Vippetangen.

Filipstad and Vippetangen will continue as ports for cruiseferries. Oslo Fergene will continue to operate their water buses from Vippetangen and Rådhusbrygga. Nesodden–Bundefjord Dampskipsselskap will continue to operate from Aker Brygge.

European Route E18 will be moved into tunnels. The first part, the Festning Tunnel under The City Hall Square and Vippetangen, opened in 1990. The Bjørvika Tunnel opened in 2010, and connects to Mosseveien and the Ekeberg Tunnel.

Moderate Dems Working Group was a caucus of moderate Democratic members of the United States Senate. The group's goal was to work with the Senate leadership and the Obama administration "to craft common-sense solutions to urgent national problems." The group's members are "joined by a shared commitment to pursue pragmatic, fiscally sustainable policies across a range of issues, such as deficit containment, health care reform, the housing crisis, educational reform, energy policy and climate change."

The Moderate Dems Working Group was founded on March 18, 2009, and was led by Senators Evan Bayh of Indiana, Tom Carper of Delaware, and Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas. It has been described as the Senate version of the New Democrat Coalition in the House. The coalition has received praise from Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, but has been criticized by the left as simply being "political cover to Democratic senators representing red or purple states, making it harder for Republicans to tie them to liberal bogeymen."

Vladimir "Jamir" Salenga Garcia (5 September 1978 – 26 November 2020) was a Filipino musician best known as the main vocalist of the nu metal band, Slapshock.

Career

Slapshock
This band was formed during the University of the Philippines Fair on February 14, 1997, which marked their first-ever gig. By early 1998, original singer Reynold Munsayac had left, and Garcia was soon brought in to replace him. The band's name came from funky guitar plucking and chord-slapping techniques that characterized much of the nu-metal sound. Rap-funk-punk-metal fusion band Red Hot Chili Peppers was a significant influence. Guitarist Jerry Basco reflected on their debut album, 4th Degree Burn: "Our music at that time was raw; we had little experience and knowledge about the equipment." Nonetheless, it was good enough for the fans. The album's sales reached platinum status. "We started at a young age, and now we’ve matured. We evolved on our own. We don’t confine ourselves to what is the mode today," Garcia proudly claimed. But, though Slapshock continued to evolve, they remained true to their metal roots. In the recent wave of emo (emotive punk) bands, Nadela said: "We don’t see it as a competition; we have our own kind of music. We are more particular about rockers. It’s in the commitment. We stay long because we honor our commitment to the band. Other bands switch and change members maybe because their commitment is questionable." Since their formation, the members have refused to take any side projects or consider leaving the group. Kinse Kalibre, the title of their latest album under PolyEast Records, was released in 2011. The group produced the album themselves, perfecting musicality and peculiar arrangements. They received nominations such as Best Artist from MTV Asia, and were awarded Band of the Year by the NU107 in 2001, 2002, and 2003. They also received the Best in Album Packaging award for Novena in 2002.
Their first-ever hit "Agent Orange". Some of their songs are also considered to be hardcore in style or genre.

Other works

In 2012, Garcia and Apl.de.ap collaborated on the theme song for the movie El Presidente, which was an official entry in the 2012 Metro Manila Film Festival and won the Best Theme Song in the 2012 Metro Manila Film Festival.

In 2018, Garcia collaborated with the hip-hop group "Chinese Mafia". with the song Laban; on the official soundtrack of the film We Will Not Die Tonight.

Social issues
Amid social struggles, Slapshock was very vocal and profound with its stance on issues facing Filipinos. "We get affected because we pay taxes to the government, then they can’t even protect us," Garcia complained.

Slapshock in Dubai
Slapshock performed at the Dubai Desert Rock Festival on March 7, 2008, together with internationally acclaimed bands such as Korn, Machine Head, Velvet Revolver, Muse and Marky Ramone (of The Ramones) and many others. Desert Rock was one of the largest rock events of its kind and the only one in the Middle East between 2004 and 2009, doubling its attendance yearly. "It was very fulfilling; we saw the bands that we idolize. We were inspired to write new materials. We became a band because of them," exclaimed vocalist Jamir Garcia. Though they sang a Tagalog song, overwhelming audience acceptance of their music was very visible. "The audience was mostly whites; it’s another inspiration that we can let foreigners jam with us. It’s a manifestation that music really transcends," bassist Lee Nadela attested. Slapshock had been invited not only to perform but also to record their first-ever international album.

Death
On November 26, 2020, Garcia died after committing suicide by hanging in Quezon City. He was brought to Metro North Medical Center and Hospital, where he was declared dead.

Edward Keith Scott (14 June 1918 – 3 June 1995) was an English sportsman who played first-class cricket and represented the England national rugby union team.

Early life
Keith Scott was born in Truro, Cornwall and attended Clifton College, near to Clifton where his grandfather the politician Edward Scott had settled on returning to England from Australia to practise medicine. Scott's father, Frank Sholl Scott, practised medicine in Cornwall, just as Scott's grandfather had done. Thus it was that Edward Keith Scott followed in this tradition and after attending Clifton went on to Lincoln College, Oxford, to read medicine and then continued his training at St Mary's Hospital, London.

Rugby career
Scott played rugby at Clifton RFC and went on to represent both Oxford University and St Mary's Hospital RFC, both leading rugby sides of that time. In 1947 he returned to Cornwall and joined Redruth RFC. His father, Frank Sholl Scott, had represented England at rugby union in 1907 and Edward was to follow in his father's footsteps. He was first capped during the 1947 Five Nations Championship, in a win over Wales. A year later he made his captaincy debut when he led England in a Test against Australia at Twickenham, which the tourists won the 11 points. The Cornish centre got another three caps in the 1948 Five Nations but lost the two which he captained.

Cricket career
Scott, a leg-break bowler, took 12 wickets at 37.00 in his nine first-class matches. He was in the Clifton College XI for 5 years from 1933 to 1937 and took 244 wickets, a record that still stands today. He played Minor Counties cricket for Cornwall from 1936 to 1954. He appeared a couple of times in first-class matches for Gloucestershire in 1937 but had only one scalp to show for it, the Worcestershire batsman Sidney Martin being out hit wicket. Scott then played five matches with Oxford University in 1938, taking eight wickets. He made two further first-class cricket appearances once his international rugby career was over: his efforts at Cornwall got him selected in a match for the Minor Counties in 1949 and he also played for the Marylebone Cricket Club against Canada in 1951.

Jeffrey Weiss (April 30, 1940 – September 18, 2022) was an American playwright, impresario, and actor, both on Broadway and a theater he ran with partner Ricardo Martinez in the East Village, Manhattan.

Early life and education
Weiss grew up in Allentown, Pennsylvania, with his parents, two brothers, and one sister. His father was a salesman for Pennsylvania cement companies. His brother, Stephen Weiss, currently lives in Florida. His nephew (Stephen's son) is actor Jonathan Taylor Thomas.

Career
Weiss became involved in theatre, both writing and acting in plays. In New York City, his work was often presented at La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club and Caffe Cino. His first performance at La MaMa was in Robert Sealy's Waiting Boy, followed by Sealy's Prevarications, both in 1964. In 1966, Weiss performed in his own play, A Funny Walk Home, at Caffe Cino, read for the Thunderbird American Indian Dancers in Louis Mofsie's Three Mask Dances at La MaMa, and performed in Jean Reavey's Window, directed by Tom O'Horgan, also at La MaMa.

Weiss often collaborated with his partner and producer Ricardo Martinez, an artist from New Mexico. In 1966, Martinez directed Weiss in Weiss's own one-man show at La MaMa, And That's How the Rent Gets Paid.

In 1967, Weiss performed alongside Mary Boylan in H.M. Koutoukas' When Clowns Play Hamlet, which Koutoukas co-directed with O'Horgan at La MaMa. He directed and performed in a production of Jeff Laffel's There Should be Violins and The Sunday Caller at La MaMa, also in 1967. Martinez directed a production of Weiss's International Wrestling Match: An Old Testament Morality Play in Two Vengeful Acts at La MaMa in January 1969. Weiss performed in Julie Bovasso's Gloria and Esperanza at La MaMa in April 1969.

A play Weiss wrote for children, Locomotive Munch:, was produced at La MaMa in 1972. And That's How the Rent Gets Paid, Part Two, a follow-up to his 1966 show, was produced at La MaMa in April 1973, and his play Pushover was produced at La MaMa in November 1973. In 1979, he continued his work at La MaMa, directing his play Dark Twist  and performing And That's How the Rent Gets Paid, Part 3, this time alongside Nicky Paraiso.  In 1984, members of The Wooster Group, including Willem Dafoe, Kate Valk, and Ron Vawter, joined Weiss in And That's How the Rent Gets Paid, Part IV (or, The Confessions of Conrad Gerhardt). Later that year, he re-worked the show in Allentown with Paraiso, Dorothy Cantwell and a cast of local actors, and brought that iteration to NYC at the Wooster Group's Performing Garage. Weiss won an Obie Award for his play Hot Keys, presented during the 1991-92 season at Naked Angels. In 2012, Weiss contributed scenes, and appeared (via taped performance), in Peter Schmidt's The Teddy Bear Awards. In 2015, The Kitchen produced a revival of And That's How the Rent Gets Paid.

Weiss also enjoyed a prolific, if late-blossoming, career on the "legitimate" stage. After making his 1967 Broadway debut in Spofford,  Weiss did not appear again as a professional performer until 1986, when he appeared as the Ghost/The Player King/Osric in Hamlet, opposite Kevin Kline. From that point until his retirement in 2003, Weiss was a fixture on and off-Broadway, appearing in The Front Page (with John Lithgow and Richard Thomas), Macbeth (with Glenda Jackson and Christopher Plummer), Our Town, Mastergate, The Real Inspector Hound and The Fifteen Minute Hamlet, Face Value, Carousel, The Play's the Thing, Present Laughter (with Frank Langella), Ivanov (with Kline), The Iceman Cometh (with Kevin Spacey), The Invention of Love, Mr. Peters' Connections, Flesh and Blood (with Cherry Jones), and Henry IV (with Kline, Ethan Hawke, and Audra McDonald). Weiss was also lauded for his performances in regional productions of A Midsummer Night's Dream, Coriolanus, A Christmas Carol, Harvey, Moliere's The Bungler, and the world premiere of Arthur Miller's Reservation Blues.

Weiss appeared in television episodes of Law & Order and The Equalizer, as well as in films Interstate 84, Mr. Destiny, and Vanilla Sky.  He was  the solo performer in the 1987 short film, Maestro, by Alex Zamm.

Weiss died on September 18, 2022, in Macungie, Pennsylvania.

Teresita Santiago Lazaro (born November 18, 1942) commonly known as Ningning Lazaro is a Filipina educator, businesswoman, and politician who served as the governor of Laguna from 2001 to 2010. Previously, she served as Vice Governor of the province from 1995 until 2001, member of the Laguna Provincial Board from the 2nd District from 1992 until 1995, Vice Mayor of Calamba, Laguna from 1988 until 1992, and the member of the Calamba Municipal Council from 1986 until 1988.

Political career
Lazaro started her career in public service from 1964 to 1974 as a public elementary school teacher in Cabuyao and later in Calamba, her hometown. Her notable achievement in business became the prime factor in her appointment as municipal councilor of Calamba by President Corazon C. Aquino in 1986.

This was followed by her election as Calamba's vice mayor in 1988 to 1992. “Shooting like a bright star” in the 1992 elections, she was voted overwhelmingly as member of the Provincial Board representing the 2nd district of Laguna, comprising the municipalities of Calamba, Los Baños, Bay, and Cabuyao.

With the death of the late Gov. Felicisimo T. San Luis in 1992, then Board Member Lazaro assumed the post of vice-governor since she topped the list of elected board members.

In the 1995 elections, Vice Governor Lazaro teamed-up with then-Senator Jose D. Lina, Jr., who ran for governor. The tandem won unanimously and both were once again re-elected during the 1998 elections. When President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo appointed Governor Joey Lina in 2001 as secretary of the Department of the Interior and Local Government, Vice Governor Lazaro took on the responsibility of governing one of the nation's fastest growing provinces. She took her oath as Laguna's first female governor on January 30, 2001.

She was formally elected governor of the province when the Comelec proclaimed her winner in the Laguna gubernatorial race during the May 2001 election where she won by a landslide, becoming the first lady chief executive of Laguna. This was followed by her re-election for her second term in 2004 and her last and final term in 2007. Her term as governor ended in 2010. She was succeeded by E.R. Ejercito, nephew of former president Joseph Estrada.

In the 2013 elections, she attempted a comeback to politics by running for representative of the 2nd district of Laguna. However, she lost to outgoing Calamba mayor Jun Chipeco

George Mason I (5 June 1629 – 1686) was the American progenitor of the prominent American landholding and political Mason family. Mason was the great-grandfather of George Mason IV, a Founding Father of the United States.

Early life
George Mason was born in Pershore, England, on 5 June 1629. He was the third of seven children of yeoman farmer Thomas Mason and his wife Ann French. George Mason was christened at Pershore Abbey, Holy Cross Church, Pershore, Worcestershire, on 10 June 1629.

Political involvement in England
George Mason I was a Cavalier during the reign of Charles I of England, like his father Thomas Mason, who opposed Charles I's execution in 1649. He became a captain, commanding a troop of horse in Charles II's army. After Oliver Cromwell led the parliamentary-funded troops to victory over the Masons and other Royalist forces at the Battle of Worcester in 1651, George and younger brother William Mason hurriedly left England.

Arrival in Virginia and political and military leadership
The ancestral Masons probably arrived at Norfolk, Virginia on the ship Assurance in 1652. In addition to his younger brother William, he emigrated with cousins and neighbors from England, Thomas and Gerard Fowke of Staffordshire. Mason settled in then-vast Westmoreland County in the early 1650s. In 1664 he helped to name Stafford County when increasing population in the area led the Virginia General Assembly and royal governor to form it from Westmoreland County.

This first George Mason eventually settled permanently near an Indian village along Accokeek Creek on a hill between present-day State Routes 608 (Brooke Road) and 621 (Marlborough Point Road) in Stafford County.
Mason named his residence Accokeek, but after the tribe disappeared from the area, the Mason family rechristened it "Rose Hill". The property was named for the Accokeek tribe which inhabited both sides of the Potomac River (and despite later wars and disease some individuals remained in present-day Prince George's County, Maryland through the Revolutionary War area). Accokeek plantation began as  and gradually increased to  in size.

In 1670, Mason won election as Stafford county's (second) sheriff and five years later won election to the important military position as county lieutenant. Mason continued to lead the local militia as an officer, earning the honorific colonel.

In 1676, after their former delegate Henry Meese (1665-1669) returned to England, fellow settlers elected Mason and Thomas Matthew to represent Stafford county (part time) in the Virginia General Assembly (which at first consisted only of the House of Burgesses). However, the following year, neither won re-election, and Stafford county was represented by only William Fitzhugh for several years. In 1680, the House of Burgesses was expanded, and voters elected Mason to serve alongside Fitzhugh, though he would die in 1686 and his son would win election and re-election many times (including alongside Fitzhurh and his son). The first George Mason in Virginia thus began traditions of land ownership (including of indentured servants and later enslaved people) and of political leadership.

Mason also served as Stafford County's as a Justice of the Peace and vestryman of the local parish of the Church of England. The Acts of the Assembly for 1675, 1679, and 1684, mention Colonel Mason as actively engaged in defending his frontier county against the Indians.

Marriage and children
Mason married Mary French in 1658. He and Mary had one son:

George Mason II (1660–1716)

Mason married secondly to Margaret Allerton in Stafford County, Virginia in 1661. They had 3 sons:
 Isaac Mason (1661-1689)
 Richard Mason (1662-1693)
 William Mason (1663-1686)
Mason married thirdly to Frances Norgrave in 1669 in Stafford County, Virginia. They had one daughter, Sarah E. Mason, born in 1672.

Later life
Mason died in 1686. His body was interred in 1686 on a hillside at Accokeek in Stafford County, Virginia. His gravesite is currently unmarked.

Masonvale
George Mason University, named in honor of Mason's great-grandson, re-established its Naming Committee to research and select names for its campus facilities and infrastructure. The committee agreed upon the name "Masonvale" for its faculty and staff housing community in the northeast section of George Mason University's Fairfax Campus. The appendage of "vale" was derived from George Mason I's birthplace, Pershore, which lies in an agricultural region known as the Vale of Evesham in Worcestershire, England. To unify the naming theme within Masonvale, the names "Pershore" and "Evesham" were then used as street names for the community. Other street names used are "Bredon Hill," "Cotswolds Hill," and "Staffordshire." All are regions of Old Worcestershire where many of Mason's ancestors once resided.

Ruairí Harkin (born 11 October 1989) is a footballer who plays as a central midfielder for League of Ireland Premier Division club Finn Harps.

Club career

Youth
Harkin began his career at a very young age with Don Boscos. Throughout his career with Don Bosco's, Harkin made several appearances for the Derry and District League Select in the Foyle Cup and also County Londonderry in the Milk Cup. Having turned down opportunities to sign for a number of English clubs, such as Blackburn Rovers, in order to finish his GCSE exams at St. Columb's College, he eventually signed for Charlton Athletic in the summer of 2006.

Senior
Harkin looked set to have a bright future in the game and his ability was praised by coaches. However, the young midfielder failed to play a senior game for the English team and instead languished in the reserves, before being loaned out to non-league outfit, Heybridge Swifts. At the end of 2008, Harkin was released by Charlton and promptly snapped up by his hometown club, Derry City. Harkin was loaned out to Derry's rivals, Finn Harps at the beginning of the 2009 season.  He made 12 appearances for Harps in the early part of 2009 before returning to the Brandywell where he turned out 3 times for the Candystripes before the season ended. Ruairi made 20 league appearances for Derry in 2010, scoring three times, as the club won the First Division title, and in 2011 he made another 20 appearances, though 14 of these came as a substitute. Harkin signed for Coleraine in the Irish Premier League on 5 January 2012. Harkin joined Cliftonville on 1 August 2016 for a fee believed to be £18,000.

International career
Having represented Northern Ireland at Under-16 level, the Derry-born Harkin was later called up to the Republic of Ireland Under-19 squad, where he was capped 4 times between 2006 and 2008.

Religious alienation is a term some use to describe how religion creates an impediment to human self-understanding.

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Although the roots of alienation lie far back in the Judeo-Christian tradition, the concept of alienation first gained prominence in the philosophy of Hegel, and particularly in his mature writings. There are signs of the idea in his earlier works, but it is not until the Phenomenology of Spirit (1807) that alienation occupies a central place in his writings.

In the opening sections of the Phenomenology, Hegel attacked the views of common sense and simplified natural science that the world consisted of discrete objects independent of man's consciousness. Truth, for Hegel, was not to be found in knowledge that was stripped of any influence from man's own desires and feelings. Ultimately, Hegel considered that there could be no truth that was not intimately linked with the ongoing process of human beings as thinking subjects; truth was their truth. The supposed objectivity of the world of nature was in fact an alienation, for man's task was to discover, behind these appearances, his own essential life and finally to view everything as a facet of his own self-consciousness. The same principle applied to the world of culture in which such spheres as art and religion, if viewed as independent of man, constituted so many alienations to be overcome by integration into the final understanding and recapitulation which was Absolute Knowledge.

Bruno Bauer
Hegel had created a system; and all his followers believed that it was the final one. However, when it came to applying the system to particular problems, they conceived his system to be ambivalent. The fact that alienation seemed to them to be a challenge, something to be overcome, led them to put the emphasis on the concepts of dialectic and negativity in Hegel's system; and thus they challenged, first in religion and then in politics, his view that the problem of alienation had, at least in principle, been solved. The foremost among these radical disciples of Hegel, Bruno Bauer, applied the concept of alienation to the religious field. Bauer, who lectured in theology and made his name as a Gospel critic, considered that religious beliefs, and in particular Christianity, caused a division in man's consciousness by becoming opposed to this consciousness as a separate power. Thus religion was an attitude towards the essence of self-consciousness that had become estranged from itself. In this context, Bauer promoted the use of the expression "self-alienation" that soon became current among the Young Hegelians.

Ludwig Feuerbach
For Feuerbach (The Essence of Christianity (1841)), people alienate their essential being by attributing their human qualities to a god who is then worshipped on account of these qualities. In worshipping god, therefore, people are unconsciously worshipping themselves. Thus Feuerbach argues that religion is a form of alienation which prevents people from attaining realisation of their own species-being. Feuerbach's thinking has been described as humanist in that his theory of alienation is based on a theory of human nature as species-being, as innate to the human species. This position would later be examined by Karl Marx in his "Theses on Feuerbach".

Dubai Men's College (DMC), one of the first Higher Colleges of Technology (HCT), is a government-funded higher education institution located in Academic City, Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates.

DMC provides bachelor's and associate degrees in applied communications, business and financial services, electrical and civil engineering technology, health sciences, and information technology. English is the medium of instruction. Given the poor English skills of students, a foundation program has been designed to equip students with enough knowledge of the English language to cope at a HCT facility.

History
DMC was established in 1989 as one of the first four Higher Colleges of Technology in the country. DMC's first home was a former car show room. With nine classrooms, two twenty-station computer labs, an electronics lab, a physics lab and a civil engineering lab, the college welcomed its first batch of 95 students on 9 September 1989.

Organization
DMC is governed by the central administration of HCT headed by the Vice Chancellor, Dr Abdullatif Al Shamsi.

The college support departments include, Career Development and Industrial Alliances, Corporate Training and Graduate Studies, Entrepreneurship and Applied Research, Community and Public Relations, Academic and Student Services, Information Technology Services, Human Resources and Finance and Administration.

Sports
The DMC sports and fitness center opened in 2004. Given the prevalence of obesity in the UAE, these facilities have made a significant difference. The 100,000 square-meter facility features an Olympic-size swimming pool, an outdoor multipurpose stadium, a soccer pitch, two 5-a side soccer pitches, a volleyball court, four tennis courts, a running track and field, two basketball courts, three squash courts, a cricket pitch, two beach soccer pitches, two beach volleyball pitches, an adventure quest site, two fully equipped gyms and a games room for playing snooker, billiards and table tennis.

The DMC Learning Centre
The DMC Learning Centre houses more than 35,000 children's books and magazines. Textbooks and reference books support the college courses but books of fiction, popular videos, DVDs and graded readers are available on loan.

Student services and activities
The Student Services department carries out a variety of tasks from helping new students in the transition from school to college life to finding suitable jobs for them on graduation. The student services department provides career counseling and career guidance to help students choose appropriate programs and subsequently suitable jobs. Work experience opportunities for students are offered through the career development centre.

A wide range of extracurricular activities are offered throughout the academic year. Student activities are generally organized by the Dubai Men's College Student Administration Council and sporting activities by the sports section. Some of the college events organized last year include the iftar party, the Ramadan sports festival, international day, World Challenge, National Day and the mathematics rally. Many student clubs such as the art club, photography club, environmental club, chess club, anime and gaming club, billiards and snooker club, bowling club, mathematics club, Japan club, martial arts club, toastmasters’ club, squash club and formula one racing club are also organized during out-of-college hours.

Scholarship program
DMC has a scholarship program to assist students with financial difficulties. The program has been developed with the cooperation of other organizations in the community and supported by His Excellency Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahayan, UAE Minister of Education and Research and Chancellor of the HCT.  The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Foundation has been a continuous provider of assistance to students at Dubai Men's College.  A Board of Trustees awards scholarships on the basis of merit and need.

Brunel Rugby League are a student rugby league club from Uxbridge, West London, England. The club play in the SRL London/South.

The club were reformed in Winter 2007 after a ten-year hiatus. From the very beginning close links were formed with the Rugby Football League and Harlequins RL. The latter oversaw the new side as they found their feet, ensuring that the coaching was of a suitable standard and promoting the team both on campus, and through their website until a good group of players were there to build on.

After six months under the affiliation of the London Amateur Rugby League, the club completed its first three games (which included a small scale tour to Wales) and obtained their first victory when they defeated Aberystwyth University in the return match from that trip in October 2008.

The club is now thriving within the university both socially and competitively, having won the league in the 2012/13 season and then reclaiming the title in 2014/15 season. Over the past 4 years the club has also produced a handful of players who have gone on to represent England students and a number of professional teams. They are always welcoming new players to the club to both introduce students to Rugby League and build on pre-existing rugby skills.

Sancta Maria, Mater et Regina, Seminarium (Saint Mary, Mother and Queen, Seminary), formerly St. Pius X Seminary - Cagay Campus, is a major seminary of the Archdiocese of Capiz, Philippines and one of the schools in Capiz. It is home to the archdiocese's philosophy and theology seminarians. SMMRS was founded by the former archbishop of Capiz, Onesimo C. Gordoncillo, D.D.History
The Sancta Maria Mater et Regina Seminarium (SMMRS) can truly trace its roots back to St. Pius X Seminary. The late archbishop of Capiz, Most Rev. Antonio F. Frondosa, D.D., had explicitly expressed his intention to build another seminary aside from St. Pius X Seminary. It was in the late 1970s when Mr. Catalino A. Mabasa Jr. wrote a letter to Fr. Daniel M. Viloria, then rector of St. Pius X Seminary, offering his land property in Sitio Bang-bang, Brgy. Cagay, Roxas City as site for the new seminary to be built. Fr. Viloria referred the said letter to Archbishop Frondosa. The archbishop, however, refused the proposed site since it would be very difficult to supervise two seminaries that are far away from each other. The archbishop preferred that the major seminary be a stone’s throw away from St. Pius X Seminary.

When the Most Rev. Onesimo C. Gordoncillo, D.D., took over the administration of the archdiocese in 1986, he followed up his predecessor’s plan of building a new seminary. In 1993, the Congregation for Catholic Education in Rome upon recommendation of the apostolic visitators advised Archbishop Gordoncillo to separate the major seminarians from the minor seminarians. Without second thoughts, the good archbishop decided to construct a new seminary. He requested Msgr. Bonifacio D. Baldonado, then Oeconomus of Capiz, to look for an appropriate site for the new seminary. Msgr. Baldonado recommended Mr. Mabasa’s standing offer. Upon the recommendation of Msgr. Baldonado and Antonio F. Arinquin who visited the site, Archbishop Gordoncillo accepted Mr. Mabasa’s offer.

In 1995 the project to build the new seminary was formally launched in a Mass presided over by Jaime Cardinal L. Sin at Villa San Miguel, Mandaluyong. Mr. Francisco Alba donated a sizeable amount and spearheaded a fundraising campaign in Manila for the said project.
With the approval of the Holy See, the cornerstone of the envisioned seminary was laid on December 27, 1996. A construction committee was formed for the building of the new seminary, then estimated to cost 48 to 51 million pesos, with Mother Mary Thomas Del Rosario, O.P. as project engineer, Ramon Teruel as architect, Msgr. Bonifacio D. Baldonado as finance officer and Mr. Celestino Auxtero as liaison officer.

	On July 14, 1999, the seminary was formally opened under the name of St. Pius X Seminary (SPXS), Cagay Campus, pending its registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission. On the same date, college seminarians left SPXS; the day henceforth was called “Exodus.” It is commemorated annually to remind everyone of the historic departure from Lawaan to Cagay. Msgr. Vicente F. Hilata, P.A., then vicar general, presided over the opening Eucharistic celebration with twelve priests as concelebrants.

	The pioneers of the newly established seminary comprised fifty seminarians and four priest-formators in residence: Jose F. Advincula Jr., first rector (now Archbishop of Manila); Digno V. Jore, vice-rector and procurator; John Michael V. Asis, dean of studies; and Alston V. Azarcon, spiritual director.

	In the summer of 2001, the Holy See granted the request of the Archdiocese of Capiz to open the Theology Department, under the administration of Victor B. Bendico, second rector (May 2000 - November 2007). On June 25, 2001, the Theology Department was formally opened with three first-year enrollees, namely: Vivencio Besa Jr., John D. Denosta, and Joey D. Javier. That same year the seminary was officially registered in the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) as SANCTA MARIA MATER ET REGINA SEMINARIUM.

In November 2007, Fr. Regie A. Pamposa was installed as the third rector of SMMRS (November 2007 – May 2014). Under the leadership of Fr. Pamposa, the seminary building was painted and further beautified. With the constant support and love of the seminary benefactors here and abroad, the seminary chapel was finally constructed and blessed on February 14, 2010 by Most Rev. Edward Joseph Adams, D.D., then papal nuncio to the Philippines.

On July 11, 2014, Fr. Joseph Bernie A. Barrios became the fourth rector of SMMRS. To date, the seminary has produced 50 priests, mostly serving the Archdiocese of Capiz and hundreds of successful Mariani alumni are working in various field.

Pian Alumni Association
The St. Pius X Seminary Alumni Association, Inc., or  PIANS, is a non-profit and non-stock corporation whose membership is composed of  persons who have studied for at least one year in St. Pius X Seminary. It's not an ordinary alumni association because the seminary is not an ordinary educational institution created and incorporated solely under a national law, and regulated by the appropriate government agencies, such as the Department of Education and the SEC, but was also created under the laws of the Church and regulated by the Vatican, and administered by the bishop through his priests. Further, its purpose is not only to educate but also to train boys and young men for the presbytery and the future leaders of the Church.

Since the opening of the seminary almost 50 years ago, there are usually ordinations every year. Three Pians have become bishops. Though the association is composed of Pians (ex-seminarians), it is not a religious or ecclesiastical organization or corporation like the Children of Mary, Knights of Columbus and Couples for Christ.

Student life
 Seminarians from Sancta Maria, Mater et Regina, Seminarium are called Mariani (they are also called Pians).
 Most students of SMMRS are graduates from SPXS, with the exception of some transferees from other seminaries in other dioceses.
 Only St. Pius X Seminary and Sancta Maria, Mater et Regina, Seminarium have Latin and Spanish subjects in Capiz.
 Aside from Classes, the seminarians from SMMRS are also grouped by Zones which were also named after the saints the pioneers chose during the seminary founding. Zones are like the seminarians' family next to the class. Zones are comprised by seminarians of year levels and members of each zones will always belong to the zone they picked even when they become priests or when they leave the institution. The zones are:
 Heralds (Zone 1 - Saint Charles Borromeo),
 Thomite Steels (Zone 2 - Saint Thomas Aquinas),
 Jumon Knights (Zone 3 - Saints Simon and Jude),
 Skull Bearers (Zone 4 - Saint Bruno),
 Kikos (Zone 5 - Saint Francis of Assisi),
 Magis''' (Zone 6 - Saints Isaac Jogues and John De Brebeuf).

The 2009 Tonga undersea volcanic eruption began on 16 March 2009, near the island of Hunga Tonga, approximately  from the Tongan capital of Nukuʻalofa. The volcano is in a highly active volcanic region that represents a portion of the Pacific Ring of Fire. It is estimated that there are up to 36 undersea volcanoes clustered together in the area.

Eruption history
The initial 16–17 March eruption created an  ejecta column (tephra) which sent ash and smoke up to  into the atmosphere and an initial inspection reported that the volcano had breached the ocean surface. Authorities suggested at that time that the eruption did not yet pose any threat to the capital's population, and an inspection team was sent out to evaluate the volcano.

Between 18–20 March, a number of Surtseyan eruptions sent ash plumes as high as  to  into the atmosphere, with prevailing winds pushing the ash cloud about  east-northeast of the eruption site and widespread and significant haze reported at Vavau  away. Steam plumes on 20 March were measured at  above sea level. But on 21 March, an eruption sent steam and ash just  into the sky. On 21 March, Tonga's chief geologist Kelepi Mafi reported lava and ash from two vents, one on the uninhabited island Hunga Haapai and another about  offshore, had filled the gap between the two vents, creating new land surface that measured hundreds of square metres. The eruption devastated Hunga Haapai, covering it in black ash and stripping it of vegetation and fauna.

Disruptions
Two Air New Zealand airline flights into Tonga were delayed due to safety concerns caused by the volcanic ash, but flight schedules returned to normal shortly thereafter.

Tongan officials also expressed concern that the eruption could significantly harm the country's fishing industry.

2009 Tonga earthquake

Four days after the start of the eruption a strong earthquake measuring 7.6  also struck the region. Ken Hudnut, a geophysicist for the United States Geological Survey, stated that "The association with the volcanic activity seems to be an interesting added dimension to this. It's not clear at this point that there is a direct association, but it seems suggestive at this point.". Keleti Mafi, the Tongan government's chief seismologist, also suggested that the earthquake was likely to have a direct impact on the volcanic eruption, stating that the "strength of the earthquake could crack the volcano's (undersea) vent and allow more magma to be ejected".

Admiral of the Fleet Sir Alfred Phillipps Ryder  (27 June 1820 – 30 April 1888) was a Royal Navy officer. As a junior officer he undertook the role of transporting Pedro de Sousa Holstein, 1st Duke of Palmela, the Portuguese ambassador, back home to Lisbon and then delivering the Percy Doyle, the British ambassador to the Republic of Mexico, to Mexico City. He then led a naval brigade dispatched to Nicaragua to deal with the unlawful detention of two British subjects. He pursued the Nicaraguan commander, a Colonel Salas, for 30 miles up the San Juan River and captured the fort at Serapique.

Ryder became commanding officer of the frigate HMS Dauntless in which he saw action in the Black Sea and then took part in the Battle of Kinburn during the Crimean War. He went on to be Controller of the Coastguard, Commander-in-Chief, China Station and then Commander-in-Chief, Portsmouth. In retirement he was an active member of the Church of England Purity Society. He suffered from depression and died after falling into the River Thames at the Vauxhall steamboat pier.

Early career

Born the son of the Rt Rev Henry Ryder, Bishop of Lichfield and Sophia Ryder (née Phillipps), Ryder joined the Royal Navy in May 1833. After passing his exams at the Royal Naval College, Portsmouth in July 1839, he was promoted to lieutenant on 2 July 1841 and was appointed to the fifth-rate HMS Belvidera in the Mediterranean Fleet. Promoted to commander on 26 May 1847, he became commanding officer of the steam sloop HMS Vixen on the North America and West Indies Station. In that capacity, he first undertook the role of transporting Pedro de Sousa Holstein, 1st Duke of Palmela, the Portuguese ambassador, back home to Lisbon and then delivering the Percy Doyle, the British ambassador to the Republic of Mexico, to Mexico City. In 1948 he led a naval brigade dispatched to Nicaragua to deal with the unlawful detention of two British subjects. He pursued the Nicaraguan commander, a Colonel Salas, for 30 miles up the San Juan River and captured the fort at Serapique.

Promoted to captain on 2 May 1848, Ryder became commanding officer of the frigate HMS Dauntless in the Channel Squadron, in December 1853. In HMS Dauntless he saw action in the Black Sea and then took part in the Battle of Kinburn in October 1855 during the Crimean War. During the War Admiral Sir Charles Napier threatened to court-martial him for letting an enemy ship escape but the Admiralty refused to support this course of action. After the war Ryder sought leave and travelled to Malta to meet his wife, who was dying of tuberculosis only to find that she had died before his arrival, leaving a two-year-old child. He was awarded the Turkish Order of the Medjidie, fourth class on 3 April 1858. At this time he also wrote a paper on methods of ascertaining the distance between ships at sea.

Ryder went on to be commanding officer of the second-rate HMS Hero in the Channel Squadron in January 1861 and then became Private secretary to Edward Seymour, 12th Duke of Somerset, First Lord of the Admiralty in November 1862 before becoming Controller of the Coastguard in 1863.

Senior command

Promoted to rear admiral on 2 April 1866, Ryder became Second-in-Command of the Channel Squadron in 1868 and naval attaché in Paris in 1869. This was a particularly difficult time in Paris with the French parliament voting to declare war on the Kingdom of Prussia in July 1870, the rapid mobilisation of the German coalition and then the French army being decisively defeated at the Battle of Sedan in September 1870 and at the Siege of Metz in October 1870 during the Franco-Prussian War.

Promoted to vice admiral on 7 May 1872, Ryder became naval attaché to the Maritime Courts of Europe in February 1873. At this time he founded the Naval Church Society which lobbied for the appointment of chaplains to some of the larger ships. He went on to be Commander-in-Chief, China Station, with his flag in the ironclad warship HMS Penelope, in August 1874 and, having been promoted to full admiral on 5 August 1877, he became Commander-in-Chief, Portsmouth in November 1879. He inherited Wellswood House at Torquay from his uncle at this time and made it his home. In October 1881 he was appointed a commissioner for the Patriotic Fund.

Ryder retired in 1882 and became a trustee of the Church of England Purity Society, an organisation founded by Edward Benson, a former Archbishop of Canterbury. Ryder wrote letters under the pen name of XYZ drawing attention to the plight of young female models and the practice of men and women studying them together.

Ryder was appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath on 24 May 1884 and was promoted to Admiral of the Fleet on 29 April 1885. He suffered from depression and died on 30 April 1888 at age 67 after falling into the River Thames at the Vauxhall steamboat pier. The coroner recorded an accidental death although his medical history suggests it may have been suicide. He was buried at St Mary the Virgin Church at Hambleden in Buckinghamshire: there is a stained glass window to his memory in St Ann's Church in Portsmouth.

Family
In June 1852 Ryder married Louisa Dawson; they had one son.

Melissa Helmbrecht ( 1975 in Wilmington, Delaware) is a New Jersey based social entrepreneur and advocate for young people. Over the course of her career, she has worked with children and families who struggle with adversity by helping them get the tools and resources they need to improve their lives. Through non-profit work, she actively addresses three social problems including reforming the foster care system, making college affordable for low income youth, and engaging young people in volunteer service and civic life.

Biography
During her academic pursuits, Helmbrecht was confronted with a variety of challenges, failing in her freshman year at Arthur P. Schalick High School before moving to Florida, where learning about the oppression the homelessness creates led her to refocus her efforts on her education.

Helmbrecht was appointed as one of the youngest members of the Orlando, Florida Leadership Council in 1991. In this position she promoted youth service around the city. She also participated in a design council for the Disney model town of Celebration, Florida.

In 1991, President George H.W. Bush designated Orlando as “America’s First City of Light,” a pilot project of the Points of Light Foundation to increase volunteerism in America. She was appointed to the business leadership council, youth leadership council, and the executive board of the City of Light. In this role, Helmbrecht won support to launch a program called Schools of Light to integrate volunteer service into all area schools. While a senior in High School, Melissa created a national organization called Youth CAN under the auspices of the Caring Institute to inspire youth across America to volunteer and to encourage nonprofit organizations to view youth as resources and elevate youth into decision-making roles.

Helmbrecht graduated from American University in Washington, D.C. in 1998, and the University of Denver College of Law in 2001 where she studied child advocacy law. While at the University of Denver Law School, Helmbrecht served as the 15th Circuit Governor for the American Bar Association Law Student Division and on the ABA Committee for the Unmet Legal Needs of Children. In 2000 Helmbrecht was a speaker at the National Association of Independent Schools conference. She studied at the Rocky Mountain Children's Law Center, serving as a Guardian Ad Litem for abused and neglected children in court. As the president of the Children's Millennium Movement, Helmbrecht was cited by the American Bar Association in 2001 for her work addressing the needs of foster children.

In the wake of the Columbine High School Massacre and the September 11th terrorist attacks, Helmbrecht set out to help young people, who felt powerless in a increasingly tumultuous world, restore their sense of agency and potential for impact through service. Helmbrecht founded an organization called the Youth Investment Project with a grant from Youth Service America, and was acknowledged by that organization as one of the "six most promising social entrepreneurs in America." The project was an intensive mentoring program for middle school students in Denver, Colorado to encourage their participation in peer mediation and conflict resolution activities. The youth involvement project included a "Day of Hope" on the first anniversary of the Columbine High School massacre that featured two surviving students.  On the Day of Hope, 10,000 young people participated in volunteer service projects

In 2000, Helmbrecht founded Champions of Hope, a global team of youth dedicated to tackling personal and social challenges through service. That organization, along with Youth Service America, founded the United Day of Service, which was designed to promote youth-led service learning projects across the country. The United Day of Service was participated in by over three million volunteers from the U.S. and 150 other countries. Approximately 650,000 youth registered to organize and participate in service projects. Activities were sponsored by the Verizon Foundation. Helmbrecht was responsible for securing the participation of Kelly Clarkson in the first celebration of the United Day of Service on September 11, 2002 at the National Mall, along with actor Sean Astin and former U.S. Senator Harris Wofford. That year she served on the White House's "Youth Service Compact," a committee of the top non-profit groups in the country that convened at the White House to design a strategy to increase the impact of youth service organizations.

In 2008, Helmbrecht served on the Global Ambassadors committee of Airline Ambassadors International, a project organized by travel commentator Peter Greenberg, the travel editor of NBC's Today Show. She also signed the Youth Entitlements Summit Declaration in June, 2008.

In 2007, Helmbrecht founded Splashlife, Inc., an online company for America’s youth. It empowered youth through community and advocacy support, networking and other tools for daily life management. On March 19, 2009, Whoopi Goldberg mentioned Splashlife on The View. Through Splashlife, Helmbrecht organized large-scale, youth-led mobilizations focused on social transformation. The first campaign is called 'Hunger and Homelessness in America' was based on Helmbrecht's personal experience volunteering at a homeless shelter as a youth. Partnering with Peter Samuelson's EDAR (Everyone Deserves a Roof), Splashlife is sharing the organization as a "brilliant example of one way to design simple temporary solutions for complex issues." In 2011, the company partnered with Team Rubicon to launch a national ‘Rebuilding from Devastation’ campaign to support disaster relief efforts in the Southern and Midwest regions of the U.S. It also launched Generation Innovation, an initiative designed to support and reward the nation’s young entrepreneurs, as a part of the White House Youth Entrepreneur Summit.

Helmbrecht is the Founder and CEO of Hopeloft , a non-profit charity in based in New Jersey.  According to its website, Hopeloft provides "community services such as one-on-one family advocacy and support, trauma-informed work and education opportunities, life skill classes, etc."

Political career
Helmbrecht ran for U.S. House of Representatives in Virginia's Eighth Congressional District in 2003. She ran as a Republican and was one of the youngest women to ever run for Congress. Lisa Marie Cheney secured the nomination at the district Republican convention.

Awards and recognition
Helmbrecht has been the recipient of several awards, including the White House Building Healthy Communities and Healthy Youth Award, the CBS Everyday Hero Award, the Walt Disney World Dreamers and Doers Award, and the National Caring Award. She was also inducted into the Frederick Douglass Museum and Hall of Fame for Caring Americans and was named "One of the Six Leading Social Entrepreneurs in America" by Youth Service America.

Personal life
Helmbrecht was raised in southern New Jersey and moved to Orlando, Florida.  She resided there until the age of 15 when her parents divorced. After her encounter with homeless girl at the Orlando Union Rescue Mission for Battered Women and Children, Helmbrecht focused on studies and campaigned around the city to raise awareness for homeless children, soliciting donations and recruiting volunteers, especially youth.

Georgi Dimitrov Izmirliev (; 21 April 1851 – 28 May 1876), nicknamed Makedoncheto ("The Little Macedonian"), was a Bulgarian revolutionary and public figure. A participant in the anti-Ottoman April Uprising of 1876, he was an assistant to Stefan Stambolov and a military commander of the Tarnovo revolutionary district.

Biography
Izmirliev was born in the city of Gorna Dzhumaya in the northeast of Ottoman-ruled Macedonia (today Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria). His father, Dimitar Izmirliev, was a small-time merchant. His mother, Tonka Izmirlieva, descended from a hajduk family from Berovo. Georgi Izmirliev studied in Serres (Syar) until he moved to Istanbul (Tsarigrad), where he stayed from 1868 to 1873. In the imperial capital, Izmirliev studied at the Galatasaray High School and received a scholarship from the Bulgarian foundation Prosveshtenie ("Enlightenment"). After his graduation, Izmirliev remained in Istanbul as a teacher and public figure; he participated in Prosveshtenie activities, spread newspapers and gave talks. In the autumn of 1873, he enrolled in the Odessa military college in the Russian Empire as a cadet.

In late 1875, Izmirliev arrived in Giurgiu, Romania, where he joined the Giurgiu Revolutionary Committee as assistant apostle and military commander of a district. Izmirliev crossed the Danube into the Bulgarian lands on 13 January 1876 and met with Tonka Obretenova in Rousse before arriving in Gorna Oryahovitsa, which had been designated the centre of the revolutionary district. For the three months until the uprising, Izmirliev founded a number of new committees and recruited and trained many locals. He also looked for strategically important areas which his detachments could use to battle the Ottomans effectively.

The April Uprising was proclaimed in Koprivshtitsa on 20 April 1876. Due to treason, Izmirliev and a group of other revolutionaries were captured after a gunfight in Gorna Oryahovitsa six days later, on 26 April. Sentenced to death by hanging by a special Ottoman court, Izmirliev was executed on 26 May 1876 in Gorna Oryahovitsa. Reportedly, his last words were "It is gratifying to die for the freedom of the Fatherland!".

Izmirliev's work has been commemorated by monuments in Gorna Oryahovitsa (built 1893–1910) and Blagoevgrad, schools in Gorna Oryahovitsa and Sofia, and a museum house in Blagoevgrad.
