Switzerland, officially the Swiss Confederation, is a collection of semi-autonomous cantons. As membership of the confederation has fluctuated throughout history, each of these cantons has its own unique history and nobility. Typically, each canton had its own constitution, currency, jurisdiction, habits, customs, history, and nobility.

In the Middle Ages, various cantons had families with only local and, in the broad scheme of things, insignificant lands, whereas other cantons had ennobled families abroad. In Switzerland, there was a great number of families of dynasties who were members of the Holy Roman Empire. Other cantons had rulers from the House of Savoy, or from the ruling dynasty of the Kingdom of Burgundy. This diversity prevented the birth of a state with monarchical central authority.

As a general rule, Swiss nobility since the 14th century can be divided into three categories:

nobility acquired by inheritance, under the terms of the family right;
nobility resulting from the ennoblement of a commoner, or from the creation of a new title for someone who is already a noble;
nobility acquired by integration, as was the case in Reyff (1577) or Pontherose (1443). This integration frequently results from a social event, or from one or more alliances with families which already belong to the nobility. Sometimes this was accompanied by the acquisition of a noble domain, for example when the seigniory of Mézières was bought by Jost Freitag in 1547. As a result of this, Jost consequently became a noble.

In Switzerland, where the social classes were historically closer than they were in other countries, there was neither a misalliance nor a loss of nobility due to a noble engaging in manual work or taking up a trade. This is why, for example, the noble Jean Gambach was able to be a manufacturer of scythes in 1442, and the noble Louis de Daguet was able to be a carter at the end of the 18th century. The only cases where individuals lost their nobility were due to illegitimacy or voluntary renunciation.

Bern, Fribourg, Solothurn, Lucerne

From the 15th c. onwards, rising economic and political pressure from the city states enticed more and more families of the traditional feudal nobility to seek membership in the higher echelons of the citizenry. These late-mediaeval urban upper classes were already composed of wealthy commoners (merchants, landowners, and craftspeople) but also of aristocrats from nearby fiefdoms or the descendants of ministeriales (i.e. knightly, originally unfree nobles in the service of eccleastical or secular fiefs). While a  distinction between noble and common patrician families was still upheld for some time, with quotas for certain government positions reserved for each group, these distinctions became  less and less rigid in the early modern era. Non-noble families could still be ennobled by letters patent, be it through the favour of foreign monarchs (most notably the kings of France) or by the cities themselves. For instance, in 1547 Bern set up the  of Batie-Beauregard as a barony for one Jacques Champion; in 1665 Solothurn granted letters of nobility to the brothers Marcacci of Locarno; in 1712 Bern created the  of Bercher for a member of the de Saussure family.

Bern
In Bern a constitutional law created in 1643 the privileged class of the eligible families to the Great Council. Since 1731 the Sovereign prohibits to use titles of nobility conferred by foreign sovereigns; Since 1761 the patricians were authorised to be called ; then on 9 April 1783 the patricians were authorised to use the nobiliary particle "von" (or "de").

Fribourg
The city-state of Fribourg defined its patrician ruling class through the so-called Lettre des Deux-Cents in 1627, and closed their ranks to non-privileged families in 1684. Towards the end of the Ancien Régime, this aristocracy comprised four categories:
titled noble families (Affry, Alt, Diesbach, Maillardoz, Castella de Berlens)
untitled noble families (Boccard, Fégely de Vivy, Fivaz, Gléresse, Griset de Forel, Lenzbourg, Maillard, Praroman, of Prel, Reyff de Cugy, Reynold)
patrician families of noble origin whose nobility is not taken into consideration by the state (Fégely de Prez, for example)
patrician families of common origin (Buman, Castella, Reynold, Weck, Wild, etc.)
As defined in the constitution of 1404, members of the first two categories were barred from certain higher offices (banneret and secret, i.e. secret council) unless they renounced their noble privileges.

In 1782 the Sovereign of Fribourg decided to standardise the situation of these families. He removed all the titles except "noble", authorised all the patricians to use the nobiliary particle "de" (or "von"), and specified that henceforth the loads of "bannerets", "secrets" and "grand-sautier" would be opened to all the patricians. By confirming that all the patricians families were noble either by origin or by being member of the privileged class, this "Règlement relativement à l'introduction de l'égalité des familles patriciennes et de leurs titulatures" (17 and 18 July 1782) is not really a collective ennoblement but the official confirmation of a state of things.

Lucerne
In Lucerne at the end of the 17th century the patricians were named with the title "Junker" and regularly made use of their nobility when they were abroad, particularly when they served in the foreigner armies. Some families also received foreigner letters of nobility.

Solothurn
In Solothurn the patriciate in fact was formed gradually. Some families set up the corporations to be able to control the co-optation. So the capacity passed to a definite number of privileged families who then formed a noble patrician whose members were qualified . Numbers of these families accepted letters of nobility abroad, particularly in France.

Uri, Schwyz, Unterwald
In the cantons of Uri, Schwyz and Unterwald, the political evolution from the Middle Ages to the 19th century was realised by a relatively similar way but really doesn't lead to the constitution of a "patriciate" but rather to the formation of a relatively closed class of new families sharing the political power with the ancient noble families. Some of the new families were ennobled abroad while others were incorporated to the Nobility by "integration".

Noble families of Uri:
von Attinghausen-Schweinsberg (freiherren, higher nobility; leading family of Uri in the 13/14th c.).
A number of local families were appointed meier (bailiffs) by the abbess of Fraumünster, the ruler of Uri, around the middle of the 13th century. These abbatial  grew more influential after the end of Attinghausen hegemony and are generally considered members of the lower nobility. They include the following families:
Niemirschin (bailiffs of Bürglen)
Schüpfer (related to the Niemirschin; bailiffs of Bürglen, at times landammanns of Uri)
Meier von Erstfeld (bailiffs of Erstfeld, at times eigenleute of Wettingen Abbey)
Meier von Silenen (perhaps related to the Schüpfer; bailiffs of Silenen ca. 1256–1370; originally from Urseren; later also  of the bishop of Sion, with Jost of Silenen ascending to the bishopric itself; influential patrician family in the city of Lucerne)
von Moos (bailiffs of Silenen after 1370; originally most likely  of Disentis in the Urseren valley; would later become an influential family of patricians and industrialists in the city of Lucerne; still extant)
Noble families of Schwyz:
Reding von Bibberegg ()
Noble families of Unterwald:
Rudenz (, originally from the Haslital)

Zürich

In 1400 the city of Zürich formally became autonomous within the Holy Roman Empire. Before this date the only noble families were families of ministériaux. Quickly the political power came to the corporations while giving a dominant position to the noble corporation of the "Constaffel" in which was constituted a "noble chamber" called "adelige Stube zum Rüden Stübli". The members families of the Corporations were mainly in them by heredity.

The members of Stübli used the title "Junker". In 1798 the Stübli did not count any more than eleven families. The Bonstetten family came to Bern in 1463 and ended in 1606. Some still extant families of the nobility of Zürich received additionally foreign titles such as the Hirzel, count in France in 1788.

Schaffhausen, Zug

In the cantons of Schaffhausen and Zug, the political power belonged to the corporations. So there was not real hereditary prerogative for the governmental loads.

In the canton of Zug the few families who had received letters of nobility abroad are extinguished. The very democratic system of this canton hindered a nobility expansion.

In the canton of Schaffhausen the noble families formed since the 13th century the "Herrenstube" which became during the 15th century one of the twelve corporations. Some ancient families were extinguished and replaced in the "Herrenstube" by new families of the "integration nobility". In 1864 these families were maintained in their right to be buried in the "Junkernfriedhof", their last privilege.

Valais, Thurgau, Ticino
In the cantons of Valais, Thurgau and Ticino, the former noble families were maintained and only some families were ennobled abroad.

The "patriciat valaisan" which provides in particular the prince-bishops, was formed with families of old nobility but also with some families incorporated into the nobility either by possession of a right of jurisdiction either by membership to the "nobility of integration". Some of these families also accepted letters of nobility abroad. This patriciate was not a patriciate of right but in fact.

Ticino, before becoming a Swiss canton in 1803, did not form a political and administrative unit and there is thus no "nobility of Tessin" in a strict sense, however there are some noble families originating from this area. In Locarno, at the Reformation, two of the three great feudal families of capitanei: Muralto and Orelli emigrated to Zürich. A branch of Muralt was established in Bern. The third great family, Magoria, remained in Locarno. The majority of the families of Ticino ennobled abroad were it by the dukes of Milan.

Graübunden
In Graübunden there were a great number of families of dynasts and "ministériaux". From the 11th or 12th century, the dynasts owned seigniories on which they held power more in fact than by resulting of a constitutional law. These families maintained their privileges until the 15th century and some families preserved an important situation, in particular Salis and Planta, while some others were ennobles abroad.

In 1794 the Leagues enacted the radical cancelling of the nobility, titles and particles. This prohibition was confirmed in 1803 and 1848.
Noble families of Graübunden:
Counts de Salis-Soglio (Vienna, 1748)
Comtes de Salis-Seewis (Versailles, 1777)

Glarus, Appenzell
The canton of Glarus never had of nobility of right. However, in Glarus there are some families ennobled abroad.

In the cantons the families descended from the "State's chief" and from the bailiffs formed in fact a class of "integration nobility".

As for the canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden, there are known direct male decedents of the most elite noble Swiss family currently living abroad.

Aargau

The modern canton of Aargau was only created in 1789 under Napoleon, when the previously Austrian Fricktal was joined to the other districts that had been conquered by the Old Swiss Confederacy in 1415. The conquered territories were split into a Bernese area of influence in the west, a small district under the rule of Zürich in the very east, and two larger districts, the Freie Ämter ("free administration districts") and the County of Baden making up the eastern half of the canton. The governance of the latter two districts alternated between the individual member states of the Swiss Confederacy in the form of condominiums. With the house of Habsburg ousted, the Swiss states installed landvögte in several of the newly acquired castles, civil stateholders who wielded the legal and economic powers of the former feudal fief which they now administrated, for example in Lenzburg castle or in the Landvogteischloss (Governor's Castle) in Baden. In contrast, many of the smaller fiefs held by lower nobility (e.g. Hallwyl castle, owned by the family of its founders; or Habsburg castle itself, held at the time of the conquest by the ministerialis Wernher von Wohlen) continued into the new order and were not directly affected by it; several nobles, such as the lords of Reinach on Wildenstein castle, were officially enfeoffed by the conquering cantons, so that the only alteration in their title to the land was a change of liege lord, in this case from the counts of Habsburg to the city-state of Bern.

A number of comital families and other high-ranking nobles are attested in the time before the Swiss conquest:

Vaud
The canton of Vaud, old county then country of Vaud, depended successively of Burgundy, Zähringen, Savoy until 1536, then of Bern. In this canton there were some feudal noble families, families of Savoyard nobility, families of the patrician nobility of Bern, and families of "integration nobility".
Noble families of Vaud:
de Felice

Neuchâtel
Originally seigneurs, the rulers Neuchâtel became counts in the late 13th century and assumed the rank of prince in 1618. Between 1707 and the formation of the modern state of Switzerland in 1848, the title of prince of Neuchâtel was held in personal union by the Kings of Prussia. Due to the continued absence of the rulers, the territory was administered by governors from 1529 onwards. Since the princes frequently ennobled their burghers as a reward for civil service, the Swiss Heraldic archives list more than a hundred aristocratic families with ties to the principality, most of them ennobled after 1500. Older families include D'Arens, Dapifer, Du Donjon, or D'Estavayer.

Geneva
Since the Reformation the Republic of Geneva did not officially recognise the nobility as an organised corps. There were families of old nobility, families of "integration nobility", families who were ennobled abroad, and a great number of noble families refuge at the time of the Reformation.

However, contrary to the generally accepted ideas, the Republic of Geneva made use of its capacity to ennoble. It is in particular what it did on 20 August 1680 by ennobling with a title of count the Noblet family.
Noble families of Geneva:
von Genf

Basel
In 1382 the constitution reserved four seats of the Council for the noble families. From the next century the corporations and thus the town's citizens took the power. The noble families of this time preferred to leave Basel which consequently will have a corporative system. The nobility was then prohibited in Basel. An exception was made for the "barons Wieland" in 1816 under the condition that they will not use their title in Basel. However, there are some noble families whose nobility and titles are earlier to their reception as citizen of Basel.

The canton of Basel had in place of a nobility a patriciate called the Daig, that dominated its political life. Its most prominent members were the families Bernoulli, Burckhardt, Faesch, Iselin, Liechtenhan, Merian, Sarasin, Vischer, and Von der Mühll.

St. Gallen
In St. Gallen some powerful families formed a kind of patriciat whose members belong to the . Some of these families consolidated their position by receiving nobility's letters abroad. In 1778 the Sovereign Council fixed the list of the seven families of the "Notenstein" which constituted in fact the nobility of St. Gall. Some families which were not members of the "Notenstein" received nobility's diplomas abroad.
Noble families of St. Gall:
von Rapperswil
von Toggenburg

Current situation
The privileges of the nobility were gradually suspended after 1798, save for a revival in Lucerne and Freiburg during the Restoration from 1814 to 1831. Article 4 on equality of the 1848 Swiss federal constitution, finally made a legal end to the Swiss nobility. Nowadays the titles of nobility appear neither in registry offices nor in public instruments. Sometimes they are tolerated in administrative documents and in the noble's professional life, that is to say in social relations.

About 450 soi-disant noble families are left in Switzerland, either Swiss or foreign. By counting 15 people per family about 1.06% of the population belongs to the nobility, which is comparable to the situation in France. There are large regional differences however: the canton of Appenzell for example has hardly any noble family left, while the canton of Vaud has over a hundred.

The Bersaglieri Brigade "Garibaldi" is a mechanized infantry brigade of the Italian Army, based in the south of the country. Its core units are Bersaglieri, an elite infantry corps of the Italian Army. The brigade is named after Giuseppe Garibaldi, a hero of the Italian wars of unification. The brigade is part of the Division "Acqui".

History

The brigade was activated during the 1975 army reform: in 1975 the regiment level was abolished and battalions came under direct command of newly formed multi-arms brigades. On 1 November 1975 the 8th Mechanized Brigade "Garibaldi" was activated one month after its sister brigades the 32nd Armored Brigade "Mameli" and the 132nd Armored Brigade "Manin" had been activated by reforming the three regiments of the 132nd Armored Division "Ariete".

The brigade's headquarters was in the city of Pordenone and most of its units came from the disbanded 8th Bersaglieri Regiment. Besides the traditions of the 8th Bersaglieri Regiment, the brigade also received the traditions and name of the 182nd Armored Infantry Regiment "Garibaldi". The name "Garibaldi" honored the Italian general and Italian unification hero Giuseppe Garibaldi and commemorated various Italian partisan units of World War II. The brigade's sister brigades, the "Manin" and "Mameli", were named to honor Daniele Manin and Goffredo Mameli, both also heroes of the Italian unification. The "Ariete" division was part of the 5th Army Corps based in North-Eastern Italy. The 5th Army Corps was tasked with defending the Yugoslav-Italian border against possible attacks by either the Warsaw Pact, or Yugoslavia or both. The Ariete was the corps' armored reserve. The Garibaldi's authorized strength was 4,733 men (272 officers, 637 non-commissioned officers and 3,824 soldiers) and it consisted of the following units:

  8th Mechanized Brigade "Garibaldi", in Pordenone (former 8th Bersaglieri Regiment)
 Command and Signal Unit "Garibaldi", in Pordenone
  7th Tank Battalion "M.O. Di Dio", in Vivaro (M60A1 main battle tanks)
  3rd Bersaglieri Battalion "Cernaia", in Pordenone (VCC-1 armored personnel carriers)
  11th Bersaglieri Battalion "Caprera", in Orcenico Superiore (VCC-1 armored personnel carriers; battalion was transferred on 1 July 1976 from the disbanded 182nd Armored Infantry Regiment "Garibaldi", of the Mechanized Division "Folgore")
  26th Bersaglieri Battalion "Castelfidardo" (VCC-1 armored personnel carriers), in Pordenone
  19th Self-propelled Field Artillery Group "Rialto", in Sequals (M109G 155mm self-propelled howitzers; former II Self-propelled Field Artillery Group, 132nd Armored Artillery Regiment)
  Logistic Battalion "Garibaldi", in Pordenone (former I Services Battalion, Services Grouping "Ariete")
 Anti-tank Company "Garibaldi", in Vivaro (BGM-71 TOW anti-tank guided missiles)
 Engineer Company "Garibaldi", in Orcenico Superiore

With the abolition of the divisional level in the Italian Army on 1 October 1986 the "Garibaldi" came under direct command of the 5th Army Corps and received a new coat of arms.

Recent history
With the end of the Cold War and the following massive reorganization of the Italian Army the brigade was transferred to the South of Italy to the city of Caserta, where it became operational on 1 July 1991. Along with the move the brigade changed its name to 8th Bersaglieri Brigade "Garibaldi" to reflect the changed composition of its subordinated units:

  8th Bersaglieri Brigade "Garibaldi", in Caserta
 Command and Signal Unit "Garibaldi", in Caserta
 31st Tank Battalion "M.O. Andreani", in Persano
  19th Squadrons Group "Cavalleggeri Guide", in Salerno
  3rd Bersaglieri Battalion "Cernaia", in Caserta
  67th Bersaglieri Battalion "Fagarè", in Persano
  91st Infantry Battalion "Lucania" (Recruits Training), in Potenza
  11th Self-propelled Field Artillery Group "Teramo", in Persano
  Logistic Battalion "Garibaldi", in Caserta
 Medical Battalion "Garibaldi", in Caserta

Following the move the brigade became the first Italian brigade to fully professionalize. From 1992 onwards all soldiers of the brigade were professional soldiers or long term volunteers. During the later 1990s the brigades composition changed slightly as a result of the massive reduction of forces after the Cold War and the army's desire to preserve the names of the most decorated units of the Army. Therefore, units changed names, although garrison and composition of the units did not change. The brigade itself shed the number from its name 1 in September 1994. The changes to the brigades units over the coming years follow below:

 5 August 1991: 19th Squadrons Group "Cavalleggeri Guide" becomes: Regiment "Cavalleggeri Guide" (19th)
 26 June 1993: 3rd Bersaglieri Battalion "Cernaia" becomes: 8th Bersaglieri Regiment
 1 September 1993: 31st Armored Battalion "M.O. Andreani" becomes: 131st Tank Regiment
 10 September 1993: 67th Bersaglieri Battalion "Fagarè" becomes: 18th Bersaglieri Regiment and moves from Perano to Cosenza
 10 September 1992: 11th Self-propelled Field Artillery Group "Teramo" becomes: 11th Self-propelled Field Artillery Regiment "Teramo"
 1 October 1997: 91st Battalion "Lucania" is transferred to the Southern Military Region
 1 December 2000: 21st Engineer Regiment in Caserta joins the brigade
 1 February 2001: Logistic Battalion "Garibaldi" and Medical Battalion "Garibaldi" merge as: 10th Logistic Maneuver Regiment, which is transferred to the army's Logistic Brigade
 1 October 2001: 11th Self-propelled Field Artillery Regiment "Teramo" becomes: 8th Self-propelled Artillery Regiment "Pasubio"
 1 January 2005: 18th Bersaglieri Regiment becomes: 1st Bersaglieri Regiment
 11 July 2013: 4th Tank Regiment in Bellinzago Novarese disbands and its name and war flag are assigned to the 131st Tank Regiment

Organization

Today the Bersaglieri Brigade "Garibaldi" is one of two Italian Army brigades equipped with tracked vehicles. It has been employed, in Karbala Iraq during the Iraq War and in Herat in Afghanistan as part of the International Security Assistance Force.

Dolway Bell Walkington (25 January 1867 – 18 April 1926) was an Irish rugby union player and solicitor. Walkington played club rugby for North of Ireland FC and international rugby for Ireland, winning eight caps. Although captaining Ireland twice, he is more often remembered for his poor eyesight and the fact that he occasionally wore a monocle while playing, removing it when required to make a tackle.

Rugby career
Walkington was born in Belfast in 1867. His brother, Robert Walkington, was an Irish international player before him, and later became the President of the Irish Rugby Union. The brothers never represented Ireland together, Robert playing between 1875 and 1881, and Walkington from 1887 until 1891.

Walkington was first called to play for Ireland in the country's opening game of the 1887 Home Nations Championship against England. It was an historic game, as Ireland beat the English for the very first time, after 12 unsuccessful attempts. Walkington missed the next game of the tournament at home to Scotland, but was reselected in the final game which saw Ireland lose to Wales at Birkenhead. The Irish team and Walkington had their revenge the next year when Wales were beaten at Lansdowne Road, but it would be two years until Walkington played for Ireland again. He did not play the final game of the 1888 Championship, none of the 1889 tournament and also missed the touring Māoris. In 1890 he was selected in the final two games of the Home Nations series a draw at home to Wales and a narrow away loss to England.

In 1891 he was given the captaincy of the national team and for the first time played an entire Home Nations campaign. Unfortunately Ireland suffered extremely heavy defeats in the first two games, with Scotland and England both running in five tries and Ireland failing to score in either. The captaincy was removed from him for the final game, played at Stradey Park in Wales, and given to Robert Stevenson. The match was a far closer affair than the previous two games, with a failed Irish conversion being the difference between the loss they suffered and the draw they could have taken. Walkington scored his only international points during this match with a dropped goal, equaled by Wales' Billy Bancroft during the game.

Walkington was described as "one of the best fullbacks produced by Ireland before the turn of the century", but only in bright conditions. His poor eyesight hindered him as the light failed when "his delicate sight tells terribly against him".

Red River Robin Hood is a 1942 American Western film directed by Lesley Selander with a screenplay by Bennett Cohen and starring Tim Holt. It was released by RKO Radio Pictures.

The plot was inspired by Zorro. This was the last Tim Holt Western until after the war.

Plot
In the Old West, Scott Yager wins a court case upholding an old Spanish land grant which gives him ownership of much of the ranching land around the town of Red River. The angry ranchers must now give up their land to Yager, or become his tenants. Cowhand Jim Carey, and his sidekick, Ike, have left their former employer to return to Jim's ranch and his business partner, Chet Andrews. They learn from the newspaper editor, Sam Sterling, about Yager's case and that Chet is in jail for resisting an officer. They also meet his daughter, Carol. Yager's men disrupt Sterling's office because of Sterling's negative editorials. The sheriff intercedes, but after the fight, Ike discovers a tin star stuck to his shirt. Jim and Ike use the star as a ruse to free Chet. The sheriff discovers the escape, but Jim, Ike and Chet get away. Because the ranchers don't have enough money to pay Yager rent for very long, the trio decide that Jim and Ike will return Chet as a "prisoner" under a ruse of a double-cross to gain Yager's trust. Yager takes them in to his gang.

Jim and Ike go undercover as masked men and leave messages to the ranchers to "stay and fight" signed by "Mr. Justice."  The pair then rob Yager's men of the rent they collect and return it to the ranchers. Jim and Ike return to Yager and claim they, too, were robbed by Mr. Justice. Yager and his gang report the robberies to the sheriff and Yager decides to evict the ranchers, who, under the law, have 30 days to leave.

Sam Sterling questions the authenticity of the land grant and sets out to prove it is fake. Jim reports to Yager that he should put the land grant document in a safe place after overhearing people talking about it. As Yager retrieves the document, Jim and Ike accost him as "Mr. Justice," knock Yager unconscious and give the document to Sterling who reviews it and returns it. Yager regains consciousness and finds Jim and Ike tied up outside, claiming Mr. Justice ambushed them. Yager concludes Sterling wanted to look at the document and likely knows who Mr. Justice is. Yager confronts Sterling and Carol at the newspaper office. Jim and Ike are hiding out there. They put out the lights and a fight ensues after which Jim, Ike and the Sterlings get away.  Jim and Ike return and, with Yager, discover the capes and masks worn by Mr. Justice.

Yager tells two of his henchmen to dress up as Mr. Justice and retrieve his rent money. As Carol is obtaining petition signatures to re-open the case, she is resisted by the ranchers who were robbed by Mr. Justice (Yager's henchmen). Jim and Ike's cover is blown and they are taken hostage by Yager. Carol suspects Yager's men are posing as Mr. Justice, rounds up a posse, and heads to Yager's ranch. Meanwhile, Jim and Ike engage in a skirmish with Yager and his men. Yager escapes and Jim pursues him. Ike subdues the henchmen as Carol and the posse arrive. Jim subdues Yager. Yager and his men are given long prison sentences. Carol and Jim embrace and Ike comically falls off a ladder as he re-enacts the final skirmish with Yager and his men.

"I'm All Right" is the opening track of Half the Perfect World, Madeleine Peyroux's third solo album. The song was composed by Walter Becker, Larry Klein and Madeleine Peyroux. It was released as a single and Peyroux sang it in her "Live from Abbey Road" episode. When she was awarded with BBC Best International Jazz Artist in 2007, this was the chosen song for the CD with the winning performers.

Song information
In this song, Peyroux tells to her former lover she is "all right," despite all that has happened.  She remembers how he used to make her laugh, how he sang  Christmas songs in bed.  The lyrics also recall how he made her cry on the day he got drunk and threw a few of her things around.  However, throughout the song she accepts that he is gone and eventually lets him know that she has been alone before and that she therefore is, or will be, all right.

According to an interview Peyroux gave in 2006, when a demo of the song was presented to her by Larry Klein, she immediately liked and agreed to record it, as she felt it told a bit of her story.

Music video
It was released a video clip for the tune, where Madeleine Peyroux could be seen walking while playing her guitar and performing with an ensemble of  Circus' performers. The video was entirely filmed in black and white.

Chart performance
The song failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.

Rubus coreanus, known as bokbunja (), Korean blackberry, or Korean bramble, is a species of raspberry native to Korea, Japan, and China. It produces edible berries (not true berries in the botanical sense) that can be fermented into bokbunja ju (), a Korean fruit wine (although the majority of fruit commercially grown for producing this drink are actually Rubus occidentalis, native to North America). R. coreanus fruits are usually harvested between the May and July at peak harvest season. They can only be cultivated in a few areas in Korea, different to Rubus occidentalis, which can be cultivated widely across the country.

Species variations
Rubus coreanus belongs to an extensive family of various fruit species with similar qualities. The genus Rubus (family Rosacea) comprises 600 to 800 species distributed in temperate climate and polar regions of the world. Fruits of Rubus species, commonly known as raspberries in Europe and the United States of America are largely distinguished by their color (red, black, and purple). Approximately 20 Rubus species are naturally found in Korea, including Rubus parvifolius, Rubus crataegifolius, Rubus corchorifolius, Rubus oldhamii, and Rubus coreanus.

Folk medicine use and health claims
Rubus coreanus has been used as traditional alternative medicine, as well as regular food, depending on its ripeness. Various studies are claimed to have demonstrated that fruits of R. coreanus might reduce the risk of diseases, including asthma, allergies, and obesity (unripe fruits) and might be effective in reducing inflammation. They are said to exhibit antioxidative, antipyretic, anticancer, and anti-high cholesterol properties, similar to many other fruits and vegetables.

Advertised compounds and industrial methods of making plant extracts
R. coreanus is rich in antioxidant compounds. A major active compound in R. coreanus, like in every other raspberry and several other fruits and nuts, is ellagic acid, which in the marketing of Korean raspberry products is especially claimed to possess anti-obesity and antioxidant properties.

Ellagic acid has been marketed as a dietary supplement with various claimed benefits against cancer, heart disease, and other diseases. In the 21st century, numerous U.S.-based supplement companies received FDA warning letters for promoting ellagic acid with false anti-disease claims that violate the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Ellagic acid has been identified by the FDA as a "fake cancer 'cure'". There is no scientific evidence to support the claims that ellagic acid can treat or prevent cancer.

Fruit and leave extracts from R. coreanus for products capitalizing on health claims are made by several methods; the most employed being conventional reflux heating or sonication extraction. Both methods share the same pre-preparation stage for samples before extraction. All samples are washed, dried in shade, and ground to a fine powder using a mill. In the reflux method, the ground powder is extracted using a Soxhlet extractor for three hours, with the extracts being filtered and concentrated using a rotary evaporator under a vacuum. In the ultrasonic bath extraction method, samples are extracted with 70% methanol using an ultrasonic bath at 64 °C for 2 h.

William "Bill" Papas (15 July 1927 – 19 June 2000) was a political cartoonist and caricaturist, book author and illustrator, and watercolourist. In the 1960s and 1970s he worked for The Guardian, The Sunday Times and Punch. His work has won international acclaim and is included in many private and corporate collections around the world.

Biography

Papas was born in Ermelo, Union of South Africa, and was educated at Pretoria Boys High School. His father, Kostas Papas, was a Greek immigrant.

At the age of 15, he ran away from home to join the South African Air Force, and flew coastal missions as a tail gunner during the war. He later studied art at Johannesburg Art School, then at Beckenham School of Art in Kent, and at St Martin's in London.

His first published cartoon appeared in the Cape Times in 1951, and his first illustrated book, Under the Table Cloth, was published in 1952. He later freelanced in Johannesburg as artist-cum-reporter, notably covering Nelson Mandela's treason trial in 1958.

In 1959 he returned to Britain with his family, his wife Aroon McConnell and daughter Peta, their two sons Warren & Vollmer, settling in Kent and joining the staff of The Guardian. In 1963 he took over from David Low as political cartoonist. He also drew comic strips and produced pictorial reports, covering, for example, Cyprus in 1965 and the Six-Day War in 1967. Between 1964 and 1972 he also produced cartoons for the Sunday Times and Punch. In this period also began his association with Oxford University Press, writing and illustrating books for both children and adults. As an illustrator he worked mostly in pen and ink, and once said "I prefer writing and illustrating children's books, especially on social and political themes. It is a form of elongated cartooning."

He was divorced in 1969 and in 1970 married his second wife, Tessa Pares. He spent the next ten years in Greece, then moved to Geneva and in 1984 to Oregon, continuing to paint and illustrate. In Oregon he also ran his own art gallery and drew an evocative series of pen-and-ink and watercolour pictures of American cities, later published as Papas' America and Papas' Portland among others.

Papas died at Hotnarko Lake, British Columbia, on 19 June 2000, following a flying accident.

Recognition

Papas was a commended runner up for the 1964, 1967, and 1968 Kate Greenaway Medals from the Library Association, recognising the year's best work of children's book illustration by a British subject. He garnered six commendations including one "for work in general" (unique to 1964) and five for particular 1967 and 1968 books published by Oxford University Press: The Church by Geoffrey Moorhouse; No Mules, A Letter from India, A Letter from Israel, and Taresh the Tea Planter, four that Papas both wrote and illustrated.

Some of his cartoons were chosen for the 1970 National Portrait Gallery exhibition "Drawn and Quartered: the world of the British newspaper cartoon 1720–1970", and examples of his work are held in the permanent collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Centre for the Study of Cartoons and Caricature at the University of Kent, the Vorres Museum (Athens) and the Old City Museum (Jerusalem).

Alan Coren, former editor of Punch, described Papas as "a highly distinguished original artist, whose work, I firmly believe, is not only of significance of its time, but will make an important contribution to the journalistic history of that time".

Teodoro Lechi (Brescia, 16 January 1778 – Milan, 2 May 1866) was an Italian general, a Jacobin and a military advisor to King Carlo Alberto of Sardinia. He was the brother of Giuseppe Lechi, a brilliant and famous Napoleonic general, and Angelo, also a Napoleonic officer.

Biography
Teodoro Lechi was born in Brescia, the 14th son of 19 of Fausto Lechi and his wife Doralice Bielli. He enlisted in the Brescian Legion on 18 March 1797, at the event of the city revolution. He immediately sided for Napoleon and entered in the new Presidential Guard of the Italian Republic that after few time became the "Guardia Reale" (Royal Guard), achieving the rank of colonel in 1803.

Lechi spent nearly two years (1803–1805) in Paris, where he received the convenient military training. Returned to Lombardy, he became commander of the Grenadiers of the Royal Guard of the new Viceroy Eugène de Beauharnais. The same year he was made Esquire of the King of Italy and receives from Napoleon himself the Eagles and the banners of the Guard.

With Prince Eugene, Lechi fought at Austerlitz (1805), in Veneto, in Dalmatia, in Albania, in Hungary and became brigade general in 1809. After the battle of Wagram (December 1809) he was entitled Baron of the French Empire. On 10 February 1812 he left for the Campaign of Russia, participating to every battle, comprised those of the retreat.

In 1813 and 1814 he took part also in the war against Austria, despite awareness of the decline of the Napoleonic age, as commanding officer of the IV Division of the Army of Italy. On 27 April 1814, after the armistice signed by Eugène de Beauharnais, Lechi was protagonist of a somewhat singular ritual: for fidelity to the Guard, he burned the banners and the Eagles (except for one Eagle, that he jealously would conserve for more the 30 years), and ate the remaining ashes with his own officers.

Refusing to swear loyalty to the Austrian Empire, Teodoro retired to private life.

It is in the event of the Five Days of Milan that, the now 72 years old, Teodoro Lechi returned to action: on 28 March 1848 he assumed the command of the Civic Guard. A man of experience, he advised the Minister of the war Antonio Franzini to make use of the railway lines in order to transport the troops and to assault Verona; the suggestion, which was not received, would have probably changed the fortunes of the First Italian War of Independence.

At the end of the war Teodoro Lechi moved to Piedmont, where he was appointed General of the Army by King Carlo Alberto.

For gratitude, the former Jacobin veteran delivered to the King of Sardinia the only remaining Napoleonic Eagle which survived the ritual of 1814. This eagle is now preserved inside the Museo del Risorgimento in Milan.

In 1859 General Lechi returned to Milan, now an Italian city liberated from the Austrians, where he died, in 1866, at the age of 88.

Teodoro Lechi was portrayed by Stendhal in "The Charterhouse of Parma" (1839) as "Count of Pietranera". Napoleon Bonaparte informally called Teodoro "mon beau général".

The Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 (c 47) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It was created following the UK Government accepting recommendation 19 of the inquiry headed by Sir Michael Bichard, which was set up in the wake of the Soham Murders.

The Act established the legal basis for the Independent Safeguarding Authority who managed the two lists of people barred from working with children and/or vulnerable adults replacing the former barred lists (List 99, the Protection of Children Act 1999 (PoCA), the scheme relating to the Protection of Vulnerable Adults (PoVA) and Disqualification Orders). The Act also places a statutory duty on all those working with vulnerable groups to register and undergo an advanced vetting process with criminal sanctions for non-compliance.

Section 65 - Commencement
The following orders were made under this section:
The Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 (Commencement No. 1) Order 2007 (S.I. 2007/3545 (C.153))

Bunny Lake was an Austrian electropop band from Vienna, formed in 2004. The band's name was inspired by Austrian director Otto Preminger's film Bunny Lake Is Missing (1965).

History
Bunny Lake was founded in 2004 by singer Christian Fuchs and musician Dr. Nachtstrom. Fuchs had previously been active as singer and lyricist of cult industrial rock band Fetish 69 and was also responsible for the trip hop project Toxic Lounge. Both bands released several albums on various labels including Nuclear Blast and Klein Records. Dr. Nachtstrom had previously been working as an experimental electronic musician and produced several albums for Austrian avant-garde label Mego.

Singer Suzy on the Rocks and bassist Christof Baumgartner joined the band the same year. Bunny Lake's debut album, The Late Night Tapes, was released in 2006; it was produced by Viennese electro musician Gerhard "GD Luxxe" Potuznik. The album was described as "the soundtrack to an excessive night of partying in which euphoria can only be reached at the risk of a massive hangover the next morning."

The band's second album The Church of Bunny Lake (2007) was produced by Christopher Just (Kitsuné, Chicks on Speed). According to Falter, the album "fuses electronic dance music with the energy of rock 'n' roll." The remix of the track "Disco Demons" is especially acclaimed and makes the playlists of some of the most renowned DJs of the international club scene such as Ivan Smagghe, Mylo and Laurent Garnier.

A change into a new direction was signalled by the single "Into the Future", released in late 2008. The band's third album, The Beautiful Fall, was released on 19 March 2010.

In October 2014, Dutch Happy Hardcore group Party Animals (music group) did a cover of Bunny Lake's song '1994' and renamed it 'This Moment'. The song was accompanied by a music video. It is also included on their latest album 'Greatest Hits And Underground Anthems'.

Visuals
According to the band their music is massively influenced by cinema, especially film noir and horrors film. It is therefore part of Bunny Lake's concept to support their live performances with elaborately edited visuals (provided by live member Leonardo), whose purpose is to highlight the imaginative and cinematic character of the songs.

Music in other media
Bunny Lake's club hit "Disco Demons" was re-recorded by Fuchs and Suzy on the Rocks in Chinese for the 2008 compilation Poptastic Conversation China (which also featured Wir sind Helden, Die Ärzte, Die Sterne and other renowned acts), in close collaboration with Chinese DJ Pinie Wang. "Disco Demons" was also included on the soundtrack to the 2008 Austrian horror film In 3 Tagen bist du tot 2 by Andreas Prochaska.

Their song "She's on the Run" was used for the Turkish TV ad spot for Magnum ice cream. The lead was played by Josh Holloway, best known for his role as Sawyer on the TV series Lost.

Linnaeus University (LNU) () is a state university in the Swedish historical province (landskap) Småland, with campuses located in Växjö and Kalmar. Linnaeus University was established in 2010 by a merger of former Växjö University and Kalmar University (Högskolan i Kalmar), and is named in honour of the Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus.

History
Växjö University began as a local department of Lund University in 1967. The department became an independent university college in 1970 and was granted full university status in 1999.

Kalmar University was similarly a university college, founded in 1977. Though not a university by the Swedish definition, it had been entitled to issue doctoral degrees in the natural sciences since 1999.

Logo
The university's logo is a stylized tree. The origin is a drawing made by the Swedish scientist Carl Linnaeus taken from his 1725 publication Örtabok. While the tree is said to be a symbol  of May and to represent the power of growth, it also symbolizes the university's ambition to be a global university with the region as its base and the world as its arena.

Campus
There are two campuses, one in Växjö and one in Kalmar.

Kalmar
Linnaeus University is located at Universitetskajen, newly built premises in center of Kalmar. The official opening of Universitetskajen took place in 2021.

The Department of Biology and Environmental Science in Kalmar has special competence in the area of life, health and the environment. The School offers Master’s programmes.

Växjö
The campus is located just outside Växjö city center. It was designed in the American campus style, meaning that all teaching premises are within walking distance. The campus borders a nature conservation area.

There are 3,700 student apartments and dorm rooms on the university campus housing approximately 4,600-5,200 students. A part of the university campus is dedicated to the Videum Science Park. The park gives space to over 100 companies, thus being close to the university it encourages innovation and research.

Teaching premises and accommodation stand side by side on the campus. There are also restaurants, cafés, bars, a sports centre and a variety of service facilities. The campus offers a safe, relaxed environment despite the high level of activity. It is bordered by meadows, a nature conservation area, a lake with bird-watching towers, and Teleborg Castle.

Department of Biology and Environmental Science
The Department of Biology and Environmental Science is part of the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences. Scientists working at the department are involved in research and teaching activities in Biology, Biomedical Science, Pharmacy, Chemistry, Food Science, and Environmental Science. Most of the research laboratories and classes are operated in Kalmar. It offers seven Bachelor programs (in Swedish) and four Master programs.

A non-comprehensive list of the research group operating with the school include:
 Applied biochemistry research group (Prof. Sten Ohlson)
 Bioorganic and Biophysical Chemistry Laboratory (Prof. Ian A. Nicholls)
 Nutrient sensing and phosphate transport in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Biochemistry Research Group (Prof. Bengt Persson)
 Computational Chemistry and Biochemistry Research Group (Dr. Ran Friedman)

The Aleutian skate (Bathyraja aleutica) is a species of skate in the family Arhynchobatidae. It lives in depths ranging from 15 to 1602 meters in North Pacific Ocean from northern parts of Japan to the Aleutian Islands and southeastern Alaska. It has maximum total length of 161 centimeters. It is the most abundant species of the Bathyraja genus in the eastern Bering Sea slope and throughout the Gulf of Alaska. It is oviparous and produces oblong egg capsules with stiff horn in each corner. The embryo gets its nutrients from the yolk which is at first utilized for growth at a relatively constant rate but later in the development the yolk is absorbed rapidly.

The 1976 Papua earthquake occurred on 26 June with a surface wave magnitude of 7.1 in Papua, Indonesia. Total deaths for the event amounted to 422, including 70 who died in subsequent landslides.

Background

Indonesia lies within the Pacific Ring of Fire, a sector of the Pacific where several tectonic plates intersect. This movement between the plates results in extremely high volcanic and seismic activity. Papua is constantly plagued by landslides.

Damage and casualties
Directly after the earthquake the casualty count was assessed as 350 dead. However, landslides soon occurred in the affected area, leading to 72 more casualties, and 5,000–9,000 were missing and assumed dead after the landslides. A total of six villages were demolished in the area. The west sector of Irian and eastern New Guinea also reported that the earthquake was felt significantly in their region.
