Richard Jenkins is a  year old engineer from Lymington, UK.  He is known for engineering and sailing wind-driven vessels on land, ice, and water.  In 1999, he founded the Windjet Project  while studying mechanical engineering at Imperial College.  Since then he has designed, built, and tested four separate speed record craft. Jenkins is currently the founder and CEO of Saildrone, a company that designs, manufacturers, and manages unmanned surface vehicles that sail the world's oceans collecting science data. In 2019, SD 1020 became the first unmanned vehicle to complete a circumnavigation of Antarctica, crossing every longitude line in the Southern Ocean.

Early years
Jenkins was born in England to Australian parents. He was raised in Lymington, a small village near Southampton and on his grandfather's farm in Western Australia. He became interested in sailing and engineering at a young age: he was dinghy sailing at age 10, working on the last airworthy Short Sunderland flying boat at age 12, building an International Moth dinghy in his early teens, and doing design work for super maxi yachts while attending college.  He first crossed the Atlantic when he was 16.  He also helped to sail the Matthew, a replica of John Cabot’s 15th century caravel in which the explorer discovered the island of Newfoundland.

World land speed record
On 26 March 2009, Jenkins broke the world land-speed record for a wind-powered vehicle. He reached 126.1 mph (202.9 km/h) in his land yacht Greenbird on Ivanpah Lake, a dry lake in California's Mojave Desert. The previous record of  was set by Americans Bob Dill (engineer/designer) and Bob Schumacher (pilot/builder) on 20 March 1999, driving their wind-powered vehicle the Iron Duck in the same location. "Top speed is actually quite scary. The structure and tyre grip is all at the limit, so keeping it in a straight line under full control takes full concentration," Jenkins told The Guardian.

Greenbird is the fifth iteration of the land yacht that was first known as Windjet. Greenbird is powered by a carbon composite wing that produces thrust similarly to how an airplane wing produces lift.

Jenkins attempted to break the world record for sailing on ice on the frozen Canyon Ferry Reservoir in Montana with a vehicle adapted for ice.

Saildrone

The innovation that allowed Greenbird to break the land speed record was a unique wing/tail/tab system that produced aerodynamic wing control. A tail mounted midway up the wing allowed for very precise control of the "angle of attack" of the wing to produce maximum power while consuming very little energy. Jenkins adapted that system to an autonomous surface vehicle known as a saildrone and founded a company by the same name. Saildrones are wind powered for propulsion and use solar to power onboard sensors and computers used to gather ocean data

In 2013, Saildrone 1 (SD 1) became the first unmanned surface vehicle to cross an ocean using only wind power. The saildrone was deployed from San Francisco on October 1 and sailed 2100 nautical miles arriving in Kaneohe, Hawaii, 34 days later.

2019 Antarctic circumnavigation
The First Saildrone Antarctic Circumnavigation mission, funded by the Li Ka-shing Foundation, was launched from Point Bluff, New Zealand, on January 19, 2019. The 196-day mission covered 13,670 miles (22,000 km) in the Southern Ocean and returned to the same port on August 3, 2019. During the mission, SD 1020 had to survive freezing temperatures, 50-foot waves, 80 mph winds, and even collisions with giant icebergs. SD 1020 had a special "square" wing designed especially for the Southern Ocean. “While the square rig has less performance range than the regular saildrone wing and struggles to sail upwind, it does a great job of sailing downwind and can still get you where you need to go in the Southern Ocean. You inevitably sacrifice maneuverability for survivability, but we have created something that gets the job done and that the Southern Ocean just can’t destroy!" said Jenkins in a company blog post. The voyage is a "a technological feat that was unfathomable just a decade ago."

Surveyor
Having established Saildrone vehicles as the most capable and proven USVs available, Jenkins expanded the technology to address new market needs including lifecycle solutions for offshore wind farms and ocean mapping. The 72-foot (22 m) Saildrone Surveyor, launched in January 2021, is the only autonomous platform capable of performing IHO-compliant bathymetry surveys to depths of 23,000 feet (7,000 m).

2021 Atlantic Hurricane Mission
In September 2021, in another world first, Richard successfully sent a Saildrone into the eye of a Category 4 hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean. Saildrone Explorer SD 1045 captured HD video and images from the eye of the storm while collecting data about air-sea interactions that is expected to transform our understanding of hurricane forecasting. “Saildrone is going where no research vessel has ever ventured, sailing right into the eye of the hurricane, gathering data that will transform our understanding of these powerful storms. After conquering the Arctic and Southern Ocean, hurricanes were the last frontier for Saildrone survivability. We are proud to have engineered a vehicle capable of operating in the most extreme weather conditions on earth," Jenkins said in a NOAA press release.

2022 Albert A. Michelson Award
In April 2022, Jenkins was recognized with the annual Albert A. Michelson Award, presented by the Navy League of the United States. The award honors "a civilian scientist, technical innovator or technical organization for scientific or technical achievement." Jenkins was selected for the award in part for Saildrone's 2021 Atlantic hurricane mission; the award citation stated that the measurements and video collected "could transform our understanding of hurricane forecasting."

Árpád Weisz (; also spelt Veisz; 16 April 1896 – 31 January 1944) was a Hungarian Olympic football player and manager. Weisz was Jewish, and was murdered with his wife and children by the Nazis during the Holocaust in World War II at Auschwitz.

Career

Playing career
Weisz played club football as a left winger in Hungary for Törekvés SE, in Czechoslovakia for Makabi Brno, and in Italy for Alessandria and Internazionale.

Weisz earned seven international caps between 1922 and 1923, and was a member of the Hungarian squad at the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris. A serious injury cut short his playing career.

Coaching career
After retiring as a player in 1926, Weisz became an assistant coach at Alessandria before moving to F.C. Internazionale Milano, where at the age of 34 he won one championship in the 1929–1930 season. Weisz had three separate spells as manager of Inter, 1926–28, 1929–31, and 1932–34, managing Giuseppe Meazza among his players. He also coached Bari, Novara and Bologna, where he won two league titles (in 1936 and 1937) before he was forced to flee Italy with his wife and two children following the enactment of the Italian Racial Laws. Weisz finished his career by coaching FC Dordrecht in the Netherlands, leaving in 1940 following the outbreak of the Second World War.

Four years later he was arrested by the SS and murdered by the Nazis at Auschwitz concentration camp, with his family of four (including his wife Elena, his son Roberto, and his daughter Clara) when they were gassed immediately upon arriving at Birkenau.

Legacy
In January 2020, Chelsea FC unveiled a mural by Solomon Souza on an outside wall of the West Stand at Stamford Bridge stadium. The mural is part of Chelsea's 'Say No to Antisemitism' campaign funded by club owner Roman Abramovich. Included on the mural are depictions of footballers Julius Hirsch and Weisz, who were killed at Auschwitz concentration camp, and Ron Jones, a British prisoner of war known as the 'Goalkeeper of Auschwitz'.

Bertie Reginald Mills (23 February 1900 – 22 January 1994), known as Paddy Mills, was a professional footballer who scored 139 goals in 358 appearances in the Football League playing for Hull City (in two spells), Notts County and Birmingham. He played as a forward, though in the later part of his career he moved to wing half.

Career
Mills was born in Multan, India, but raised in Barton-upon-Humber, Lincolnshire. He began his football career with local club Barton Town before joining Hull City of the Second Division in 1920. For three consecutive seasons, from 1923–24 to 1925–26, Mills was Hull's leading scorer; in the second of those three seasons, he scored 29 goals in all competitions when no other Hull player reached double figures.

In March 1926, Notts County paid a fee of £3,750 for his services, but he was unable to prevent their relegation from the First Division. In 1927 he was joined by his younger brother Percy, who would go on to play more than 400 games for the club. After three years with County, in which he scored at a rate approaching a goal every other game, Mills moved back to the First Division with Birmingham, but failed to settle, and returned to Hull in December 1929.

Mills contributed two goals in Hull's 1929–30 FA Cup run which took them to the semi-final for the first time in their history, only to lose to eventual Cup-winners Arsenal, following which their form slumped and they were relegated to the Third Division North. New manager Haydn Green converted Mills to play at wing half, though he still scored goals: 12 in 30 games in the 1930–31 season and 11 in 37 the next season. In 1932–33, Hull City won the championship of the Third Division North, winning promotion for the first time in their history. Mills played in nearly half the games, but failed to score, and was released at the end of the season. As of December 2008, his league goal return of 101 in 269 games places him third in Hull City's all-time league goalscorers, and his 110 from 291 appearances puts him fourth when all competitions are counted.

On leaving Hull, Mills moved into non-League football with Scunthorpe & Lindsey United and Gainsborough Trinity before finishing his career at his first club, Barton Town.

After football Mills was employed as a security man at a steelworks in Scunthorpe. He died in 1994 at the age of 93.

Personal life
Mills was great-uncle to football player and manager Nigel Pearson, the grandson of his brother Percy.

The Prussian Class G 2 was allocated by the Prussian state railways to a number of older, 0-4-2 and 0-6-0 goods train locomotives which it had taken over from its predecessor railway companies. In addition it included a number of Prussian G 3 engines of the type operated by the Frankfurt/M and Mainz railway divisions. The best known was the standard G 2 type.

Prussian G 2 (standard type)
In 1888/89 the Marsch Railway (Marschbahn) in Schleswig-Holstein procured a total of eleven locomotives for mixed traffic on branch lines, which were an evolutionary development of an older locomotive class from 1875. The engines were described as scissors locomotives (Scherenlokomotiven) because the second axle was directly driven and the first axle coupled. That meant that the connecting rods and coupling rods looked as if they were sliding across one another like a pair of scissors. The trailing axle and low-pitched firebox gave the engine good riding qualities. The design also meant that the wheel guards (Radkästen) did not extend into the driver's cab and that the latter was protected from the vibration of a driven axle.

Because the class gave a good account of itself, the Prussian state railways procured another ten of these locomotives after the acquisition of the Marschbahn in 1890, of which two were deployed to the Magdeburg division and the remainder were stationed at Altona. The East Prussian Southern Railway, taken over by the Prussian state railways in 1903, also ordered 24 of these engines between 1890 and 1901, for which a template (Musterblatt) based on Prussian norms had been prepared. The locomotives were used in charge of goods trains as well as passenger services. As a result, they were allocated to various classes from 1905: The Altona engines were classified as G 2's, the Königsberg ones as P 2's and the Magdeburg locos as P 3's (later being reclassed as G 2's). The Deutsche Reichsbahn took over about 30 locomotives, but they were then retired by 1923, so that they were never given Reichsbahn locomotive numbers.

The machines were coupled with Class 2 T 8 and 3 T 10.5 tenders.

James Hill was an English footballer.

Career
Hill most likely joined Port Vale in the summer of 1917. He scored on his debut at outside-left in a 4–1 defeat at local rivals Stoke on 6 October 1917. He was a regular in the first team from the following month, though was on active duty from March 1918 to January 1919 and so was unable to play any matches. He was rarely picked during the 1919–20 Second Division season however, but was in the starting 11 for the Staffordshire Senior Cup win of 1920. He was released at the end of the 1920–21 campaign and so moved on to Shrewsbury Town.

Đặng Ngọc Ngự, (1 November 1939 – 8 July or 15 August 1972), was a Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 pilot of the Vietnamese People's Air Force who flew with the 921st fighter regiment and tied for third place amongst Vietnam War fighter aces with seven kills.

He was in the air fighting U.S. fighter jets in a MiG-21MF (No. 5136) on the day of 10 May 1972, claiming victory over an F-4 Phantom II; the same day USN F-4 Phantom II pilot Duke Cunningham and his RIO Bill Driscoll were shot down after they had allegedly shot-down the legendary, or mythical, Colonel Toon, of which it's said that Đặng and other pilots, including sub-ace MiG-21 pilot Dinh Ton, had all played-part in the legendary (or mythical) role of Colonel Toon.

The following victories include the kills known to be acknowledged and credited to him by the VPAF:
 13 August 1966, Firebee/Lightning Bug drone;
 14 December 1966, a USAF F-105D (US-side does not confirm);
 22 May 1967, a USAF F-4C (pilot Perrine, WSO Backus, KIA, US claims loss to AAA);
 8 November 1967, a USAF F-4D (pilot Gordon, WSO Brenneman, POWs, 555th TFS);
 24 April 1968, Firebee/Lightning Bug drone;
 4 March 1969, Firebee/Lightning Bug drone;
 10 May 1972, an F-4 (US-side does not confirm);
 8 July 1972, a USAF F-4E (pilot Ross, WSO Imaye, rescued). According to one source, Dang Ngoc Ngu was shot down and killed on 15 August 1972 by an F-4E after a brief engagement NW of Hanoi, and credited to Captains Fred Sheffler and Mark Massen (336th TFS, 4th TFW, TDY to Ubon AB, Thailand) whom "thwarted his attack with a launch of an AIM-7 that ended his career". Another source points to his demise earlier on 8 July 1972, when an F-4E No. 67-0270 of Hardy/Lewinsky shot down Dang following the attack on, and ultimately the downing of the F-4E No. 69-7563 of Ross/Imaye (also with the 336th TFS, 4thTFW) whom were able to fly their stricken Phantom back across friendly lines in Thailand on one engine before safely ejecting close to their base just north of Udorn.

Đặng Ngọc Ngự was posthumously awarded the Hero of the Vietnamese People's Armed Forces on 11 January 1973.

Little Queen is a comedy shōjo manhwa by Kim Yeon-joo. In North America, it is licensed and published by Tokyopop.

Overview
June Narcieq attends Rohini Royal Academy, where all children possessing magical potential are enrolled and trained in their abilities according to the law.  In particular, girls of exceptional abilities like June are trained as candidates for the position of Queen of Light.  June competes with her rival Lucia Luferr, not only for the crown, but also for the attention of June's childhood friend Sejuru Ney.

Characters

Main characters
June Narcieq (쥰 나르시크)
The hero of the story, she is lazy and unmotivated for the position of Queen until Lucia begins to show interest in Sejuru.  Compared to Lucia, June is unrefined and prone to violence, but her jovial nature and insightfulness continue to surprise people.  Despite her poor grades, June remains the top candidate to become the next Queen of Light, likely because she has come to possess Spenta Minea, the Queen's Rod.

Lucia Luferr (루시아 루페르)
June's rival for the crown and Sejuru. She was originally ranked first place as a Queen Candidate, but is soon surpassed by June. Lucia has been raised since childhood to become Queen of Light, so she possesses a regal manner and shows little emotion.  She feels lost when June so easily surpasses her and begins to question if she really wants to become the next Queen of Light.

Sejuru Ney (세즈루 네이)
A demon boy June found in the mountains near her home as a child who began living with the Narcieq family after that.  He is a gentle boy many consider adorable, though June is extremely possessive of him and regards him as a "pet" of sorts as much as he is her best friend.  The King of Darkness shows great interest in him.

Yuri Schauer (유리 샤우어)
A priest of the Church of Light, he is one of the judges of Candidates for Queen. He deeply dislikes June, preferring Lucia's regal bearing as attributes consistent with queen.  Known as the "Eye of God" for his ability to see the future, Yuri is greatly disturbed when he sees the lines of two queens from the current candidates and that the next queen will have an extremely short reign.

Supporting characters
Mayanne Senora (메이옌 시뇨라)
The captain of the Holy Red Knights, a serious young woman who is a skilled swordfighter who wields two swords.  She and Yuri are old acquaintances; however, she believes that Yuri is wasting his talent by becoming a magistrate instead of a knight.  Mayanne also recognizes Sejuru from a past incident, which is when she first met Yuri.

Jibrilte (지브릴테)
The current Queen of Light and the 581st holder of the office.  As Queen of Light, she rules for life over all humans and is admired and beloved by her people as a wise and competent ruler.  Jibrilte is also a personal acquaintance of June's grandmother, June's mother (Eilian Sihena), Nanny, and Yuri.

Hecate Dirantra
June and Sejuru's Nanny, who raised them as though she was their mother.  She was also their teacher in swordplay and gave Sejuru his transparent sword.

History
In the 12th century, the lands of the present Lizums Parish were part of the Latgalian historical region of Talava. Later in XIII century these lands became property of the Archbishopric of Riga, in XVI century retreated to Poland, in XVII century Sweden and in XVIII century the Russian Empire. On the territory of the volost in the 19th century there was the Lizum estate, as well as the Tsepls, Piets and Velēna half-mansions.

In Lizums Manor, originally belonging to the Tiesenhausen family, there worked a distillery, a brewery, a liquor factory, three mills and a brick factory.

In 1935, the territory of the  Lizums Parish of Cesis County was 119 km², with 1,791 people living in it.

After the Second World War, several collective farms were organized, which later joined the collective farm Spars, which became a limited liability company in 1992 and liquidated in 1993.

In 1945, the Lizums and Velēna village councils were formed into the parish. In 1949, the volost division was abolished and the Lizums village council was part of the Gauens (1949-1956) and Gulbene (after 1956) districts.

In 1951, the liquidated Velēna Village Council was merged with the Lizums Village Council. In 1960 - the territory of the farm Spars Sinol Village Council. In 1977 - part of the liquidated Sinol Village Council.

In 1990, the Lizums  village council was reorganized into a volost. In 2009, at the end of the Latvian administrative-territorial reform, the Lizums Parish became part of the Gulbene region.

After 2010, there were 19 economically active enterprises, Lizums Secondary School, Lizums Volost Library, House of Culture, ambulatory, pharmacy, two post offices, forestry in the volost.

The ancient Funan sites of Angkor Borei () and Phnom Da () are located in the Angkor Borei District, Takéo Province, of southern Cambodia. They are both in the southern part of Cambodia, about  from the western split of Mekong river delta,  from the seacoast, near the Vietnam border and the Óc Eo site. The Angkor Borei site was likely an early capital and a region where southeast Asian culture and arts fused in the ancient times. Archaeological excavations have yielded items that are carbon dated to roughly 1523 BC and thereafter, many related to early Buddhism and Hinduism, confirming a continuous human settlement at least for some 500 years.  They contain the earliest known dated Khmer inscriptions as well as what may be the earliest tradition of Khmer sculpture.

In recent years, the archeological sites have attracted a growing number of tourists. At the same time, looting and illicit trafficking of antiquities continue as a serious problem in the area. Angkor Borei is particularly challenging area to perform archaeological research on due to the fact that the site is inhabited today. Various areas have been heavily damaged by bulldozing, gardening, and other daily activities.

Angkor Borei
Like many ancient Asian sites, any initial information came from Chinese documents and accounts. Much archeology has uncovered various previously unknown artifacts and locations. Research has uncovered brick architecture, post holes for a large wooden structure, and a temple containing two Vishnu statues. Brick was not thought to have been used as early as 400 BC. Evidence suggests there may have been a moat or some kind of man made hydraulic system.

Artifacts include ceramics, brick fragments, animal bone, vessels, clay pellets, slag, and stone statues. An analysis of the pottery shows it contains fine orange wares, cord marked earthenware, burnished earthenware, gray wares, and slipped wheel made earthenware.

Based on the style of artifacts and carbon dating, there were three general layers of occupation. The dates also suggest that Óc Eo was also inhabited at the time of Angkor Borei.

Cemetery
Vat Komnou cemetery is also a notable feature which was excavated and found to contain roughly 60 bodies ranging from 200 BC - AD 400. Out of these bodies, 25 were children below 19, 36 were adults, and the remaining were elders. Males were found to be more than twice as common as females, many of which had stress fractures in their lower backs suggesting some sort of heavy labor. An analysis of the bones implies a lack of starvation and extreme stress. The teeth themselves lack common features associated with the consumption of sugars and starches. The cemetery also contained some objects, including beads that are believed to have originated from across southeast Asia like India.

Phnom Da
The Phnom Da is a granite outcrop and a historic site about 3 kilometers southeast from Angkor Borei. It is notable for the oldest surviving temples, Khmer and Sanskrit inscriptions as a source, as well as perhaps the earliest Cambodian stone statues, based on the epigraphical evidence, iconography, and style, in Cambodia.

Statues
These items are often attributed to the reign of King Rudravarman (514–539 CE). The statues confirm the adoption of ideas from what is now Vietnam and India, along with the Cambodian creativity and innovation with design. Among these is the Triad of Phnom Da, a stone statue set of Vishnu and two of his avatars – Rama and Balarama (related to Krishna). Vishnu appears as an eight armed figure over 30 meters tall holding attributes in six hands, though it is suspected there were two other attributes that are now lost. Each of the attributes is associated with one of the eight Lokapalas (gods who guard regions of space). While the Triad is made from schist, other free standing stone statues found here – such as the Trivikrama, Krishna Govardhana and Hari Kambujendra – are made of sandstone and also relate to Hinduism and perhaps Buddhism. They display style and iconography similar to the late or post-Gupta Empire period and are said to be remarkably lifelike. Most of these statues have been moved to the Phnom Penh National Museum, in the capital of Cambodia.

Temple
The statues appear to predate the stone temple The oldest standing Khmer stone temple (6th-century CE) on the site and may have been preceded by wooden Hindu temples. The inscriptions include 11 Sanskrit lines and 21 Khmer lines which describe the forms of Vishnu and King Rudravarman, along with a ceremony detailing the allocation of land. King Rudravaram included in the temple means that he could have been associated with the religion and seen as an incarnation. He is rumored to have murdered his half-brother for the throne and to strengthen his claim to it, he relied on religion. According to one source however, the dating for the statues could be inaccurate, throwing off the current accepted timeline.

The base of the site is also surrounded by the remains of small caves.

World Heritage Status
This site was originally added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List on September 1, 1992, in the Cultural category. The submission has been renewed on March 27, 2020.

This is a list of bank runs. A bank run occurs when a large number of bank customers withdraw their deposits because they believe the bank might fail. As more people withdraw their deposits, the likelihood of default increases, and this encourages further withdrawals. This can destabilize the bank to the point where it faces bankruptcy.

17th century
In 1656, after several attempts, Johan Palmstruch was given permission by the Crown of Sweden to start a bank, Stockholm Banco. In 1661, it became the first in Europe to give out banknotes. As lending rose rapidly in just a few years, the value of the banknotes began to fall. In 1664, the bank closed operations, unable to give back the customers money. Palmstruch was imprisoned, the Crown took over the bank, and formed what is still today Riksens Ständers Bank, the national bank of Sweden, operated by the parliament.

19th century
 In 1866, Overend, Gurney and Company suffered a bank run. It incorporated as a limited liability company in 1865, but with poor railway stock prices, it suffered losses. Assistance from the Bank of England was refused, and payments were suspended on 10 May 1866. A panic ensued. The town's people were disappointed that they couldn't get their money from the banks.
 Many bank runs occurred during the Panic of 1893

1900s
 Many bank runs occurred during the Panic of 1907

1920s

The Shōwa Financial Crisis was triggered in January 1927 when the Bank of Japan proposed to redeem discounted bonds it had issued to overextended banks in the wake of the Great Kantō earthquake. The news resulted in rumors that banks holding such bonds would go bankrupt. The ensuing bank runs led to the fall of 37 banks across the Empire of Japan and the resignation of Prime Minister Wakatsuki Reijirō.

1930s

Many bank runs occurred during the Great Depression.

1970s
 In 1973, Toyokawa Shinkin Bank incident in Japan: in December of that year, a bank run occurred on Toyokawa Shinkin Bank because of a rumor that the bank will go into bankruptcy.

1990s
 In early 1994 thousands of clients rushed to Spain to withdraw their money. Banesto was taken into control by the Bank of Spain when they discovered a 450,000 million Pesetas (€2,704 million) equity hole in bank's finances.
 Between 1997 and 1999, several bank runs happened at MBf Finance Berhad in Malaysia, the biggest finance company in the country during that time. Many of the finance company's 120 branches saw runs on their deposits, totalling about 17 billion Ringgit (US$4.49 billion). Bank Negara Malaysia (the Malaysian central bank) took control of MBf Finance Berhad in 1999.

2000s

 In 2001, during the Argentine economic crisis (1999-2002), a bank run and corralito was experienced in Argentina. There are various theories into the cause. This contributed towards the bank runs in neighbouring Uruguay during the 2002 Uruguay banking crisis.
In 2003, during the 2003 Myanmar banking crisis, bank runs on major private banks of Myanmar, such as Asia Wealth Bank and the Yoma Bank Ltd took place
 In early August 2007, the American firm Countrywide Financial suffered a bank run as a consequence of the subprime mortgage crisis.
 On 13 September 2007, the British bank Northern Rock arranged an emergency loan facility from the Bank of England, which it claimed was the result of short-term liquidity problems. The resulting bank run was not the traditional form, where depositors withdraw money in a snowball effect, leading to a liquidity crisis; instead, it occurred after news reports of a liquidity crisis that was not a bank run. The resulting financial crises ended with the nationalisation of Northern Rock.
 On Tuesday, 11 March 2008, a bank run began on the securities and banking firm Bear Stearns. While Bear Stearns was not an ordinary deposit-taking bank, it had financed huge long-term investments by selling short-maturity bonds (Asset Backed Commercial Paper), making it vulnerable to panic on the part of its bondholders. Credit officers of rival firms began to say that Bear Stearns would not be able to make good on its obligations. Within two days, Bear Stearns's capital base of $17 billion had dwindled to $2 billion in cash, and Bear Stearns told government officials that it saw little option other than to file for bankruptcy the next day. By 07:00 Friday, the Federal Reserve decided to lend Bear Stearns money, the first time since the Great Depression that it had lent to a nonbank. Stocks sank, and that day JPMorgan Chase began an effort to buy Bear Stearns as part of a government-sponsored bailout. The deal was arranged by Sunday in an effort to calm markets before overseas markets opened.
 On 11 July 2008, U.S. mortgage lender IndyMac Bank was seized by federal regulators. The bank relied heavily on higher cost, less stable, brokered deposits, as well as secured borrowings, to fund its operations and focused on stated income and other aggressively underwritten loans in areas with rapidly escalating home prices, particularly in California and Florida. A highly stressed institution, IndyMac's capital was being lost to downgrades as the poor quality of their book was revealed. Regulators at the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) had allowed the bank to misstate its financial condition, avoiding regulatory intervention. On June 26, Sen. Charles E. Schumer released to the media letters he sent to the regulators, which warned the bank might not be viable. In the days following the release, depositors pulled out approximately 7.5% of the bank's deposits. IndyMac and the OTS regulators who had allowed the bank backdate its books blamed Schumer's letters for the bank's demise. These regulators resigned or were fired amidst a Treasury Department investigation. IndyMac's failure is expected to cost the FDIC more about $9 billion. Uninsured depositors have lost an estimated $270 million.
 On 25 September 2008, the Office of Thrift Supervision was forced to shut down Washington Mutual, the largest savings and loan in the United States and the sixth-largest overall financial institution, on a Thursday due to a massive run. Over the previous 10 days, customers had withdrawn $16.7 billion in deposits. Normally, banks are seized on Fridays to allow the FDIC the weekend to prepare the failed bank for takeover by another bank. However, WaMu's size led regulators to shut it down on a Thursday.
 On 26 September 2008, Wachovia, the fourth-largest bank in the United States, lost $5 billion in deposits—about one percent of its total deposits—when several large customers (mostly businesses and institutional investors) drew down their accounts below the $100,000 limit for FDIC deposit insurance. This practice is known in banking circles as a "silent run". The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the FDIC were both concerned that Wachovia wouldn't have enough short-term funding to open for business on 29 September—which would have resulted in a failure dwarfing that of WaMu just a day earlier. They pressured Wachovia to put itself up for sale over the weekend. Initially, Wachovia was to sell its commercial banking operations to Citigroup, but eventually the entire company was sold to Wells Fargo.
 On 6 October 2008, Landsbanki, Iceland's second largest bank, was put into government receivership. The Icelandic government used emergency powers to dismiss the board of directors of Landsbanki and took control of the failed institution. Prime Minister Geir Haarde also rushed measures through parliament to give the country's largest bank, Kaupthing, a £400m loan. In addition, Iceland pleaded with Russia to extend 3bn in credit as western countries refused to help. With over 5bn in savings held by Britons in Landsbanki, the Icelandic collapse threatened private citizens in the United Kingdom as well as companies in Iceland.
 October 2009 bank run on DSB Bank in the Netherlands after bank run caused by Pieter Lakeman.

2010s
 On 11 December 2011, a rumor was spread via Twitter that the Swedish banks Swedbank and SEB were having "problems" and there was a lesser hysteria in Latvia. People emptied their accounts, and according to local media there were long lines of people at the automated teller machines. On December 12 the authorities started an investigation to locate the cause of the rumors, and the spokesman for Swedbank said that the situation seemed to be calming down.
 On 24 March 2014, Jiangsu Sheyang Rural Commercial Bank in Yancheng, China suffered a three-day bank run after rumors of the bank turning down a cash withdrawal transaction emerged.  Supposedly, some branches remained open for 24 hours for the duration of the bank run, and tellers stacked cash behind teller windows to calm and reassure depositors.
 On 20 June 2014, Corporate Commercial Bank in Bulgaria has been put under special surveillance by the central bank after one-week bank run, triggered by accusation of 3 far-rеlated to the bank persons for attempted murder of Delyan Peevski, a media mogul and politician. The accusation for attempted murder had been withdrawn shortly after by the prosecution. The bank stayed closed until November 6 when the Bulgarian central bank (BNB) announced that Corporate Commercial Bank has accumulated massive losses which brought the capital to a negative value and automatically revoked its banking license. One week later (June 27), First Investment Bank suffered a one-day bank run after TV interviews by several politicians that triggered panic among the population. However, the government delivered financial aid to First Investment Bank in the next days, and the bank resumed its operations.
 Starting on 19 April 2017, Home Capital Group in Canada started to suffer a bank-run on its deposits after an Ontario Securities Commission report was filed that had accused the subprime lender of deceiving its investors in 2015 with its lending practices.  As of early May 2017, the bank-run was ongoing. In order to attempt to allay investor, customer, and overall market fears, Home Capital Group had begun to sell off separate business units of its company. As a result of the long lasting bank runs, the company had lost more than 90% of its high-interest savings deposits. Home Capital Group had also lost more than 10% of its workforce during this long lasting bank-run, which was originally caused from the report by the Ontario Securities Commission in regard to the company's lending practices.
 On 13 May 2019, a false rumour spread via a WhatsApp post led to a run on the bank at Metro Bank branches in the United Kingdom. The rumour falsely claimed that Metro Bank was going out of business due to the real falling share prices and a false claim that the bank was going to appropriate all funds and safety deposit box contents which led to big queues to withdraw funds at their London branches. As of October 2019, the bank has resumed normal operations, but has lost up to 24% of its retail banking customers.

2020s
 On 25 February 2022, Russian Sberbank's branch in the Czech Republic experienced a bank run immediately following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine as depositors sought to withdraw their funds over fears of instability and as a show of support for Ukraine. The Czech National Bank subsequently removed the bank's license to operate in the country, effectively shutting it down. The Czech Financial Market Guarantee System's deposit insurance fund, backed by the full faith and credit of the government of the Czech Republic, guaranteed refunds on deposits up to €100,000 (2.5 million Czech crowns) per account.
 On 27 February 2022, the sanctions against Russia during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and the removal of Russian banks from the SWIFT system led to a banking panic across multiple Russian banks.
 On 9 March 2023, a  bank run on Silicon Valley Bank led to the closure of the bank by California and United States regulators, with FDIC-insured deposits assumed by the Deposit Insurance National Bank of Santa Clara. This is currently the biggest bank run in history.

Constance of Świdnica ( – 21 November 1363) was a member of the Piast dynasty in the Świdnica-Jawor branch and by marriage Duchess of Głogów.

She was the second child but eldest daughter of Duke Bernard of Świdnica by his wife Kunigunde, daughter of Władysław I the Elbow-high, later King of Poland.

Life

Marriage
In March 1326, Constance had married with Duke Przemko II of Głogów. This union brought Przemko II closer to Constance's powerful grandfather, Władysław I the Elbow-high.

After five years of childless union, Przemko II died suddenly on 11 January 1331, allegedly poisoned by his own vassals. The late Duke's three surviving brothers divided Przemko II's lands between them. Constance received the city of Glogów as her dower, according to her husband's will. Soon after, she entered the Poor Clares monastery of Stary Sącz, where she became abbess.

Widowhood
In September 1331, King John of Bohemia began his siege of the Duchy. By October, he had captured the city of Głogów. Constance was forced to take refuge in the court of his grandparents, the Polish King and Queen, and Jan of Ścinawa (one of Przemko II's brothers) was compelled to sell his rights over half of the Duchy to the Bohemian King for 2,000 fines.

Constance was virtually left without financial support after the loss of her lands; however, her situation soon changed: first when she received a rent by her lands and later in 1336, when her grandmother Queen Jadwiga settled her residence definitely in Stary Sącz and took the veil. The Queen clearly favored her granddaughter, supported her in all ways.

After almost thirty years, in 1360, the Bohemian Kingdom finally recognized Constance's rights as widow of Przemko II. She received half of Głogów as her dower (the other half was already given to the Dukes of Żagań in 1349). Constance ruled effectively for only one year: in 1361 she renounced to her lands on behalf of her brother Bolko II the Small.

Constance died on 21 November 1363 and was buried in the monastery of Stary Sącz. After almost 150 years of separation, all the Duchy of Glogów was reunited in 1480 by Duke Jan II the Mad.

Eamonn Anthony Stephen Collins (born 22 October 1965) is an Irish retired footballer and football manager, who is now a players' agent. In his playing career, he was the youngest player ever to turn out in a professional game in England, when he played for Blackpool in 1980, six weeks before his 15th birthday. For much of his career, he played for teams where his mentor at Blackpool, the former England player, Alan Ball, was either manager or player. He also played for the Republic of Ireland at the 1984 UEFA European Under-18 Championship and the 1985 FIFA World Youth Championship.

Playing career

Blackpool
Collins was born at Inchicore, Dublin, close to Richmond Park, the home of St Patrick's Athletic.

He signed apprenticeship forms with Blackpool in April 1980 and became a member of the club's youth team, playing in the under-18 league. On Saturday, 6 September 1980, he had played against the Manchester United youth team and scored twice. On the following Tuesday, 9 September, Collins was called into the squad to play at Bloomfield Road in an Anglo-Scottish Cup quarter-final first-leg tie against Kilmarnock. In a later interview, Collins recalled the events leading up to the match:"That Monday I was just back to my normal jobs, getting all the coaches' kit ready, cleaning the players' boots. From eight till ten, I did all my jobs. After that I was going out to train with the youth team and some of the reserves. Then the first team coach, Ted MacDougall, came over to me and said, 'Eamonn, you're training with the first team today'. I honestly thought it was a wind-up. They were playing a lot of practical jokes on me at the time, with me having just arrived over from Ireland at 14. Doing a lot of silly stuff. So I just kept on walking over towards the youth team. Then Alan Ball shouted across, 'Come over Eamonn, you're training with us'. Only then did I realise it was serious."

In the match, Collins came on as a second-half substitute for Dave Hockaday and, at the age of 14 years and 323 days, became the youngest player to have appeared in a professional match in England. The match itself was won 2–1, with Kilmarnock winning the second leg 4–2, to go through to the next round on aggregate. Collins was surpassed as the UK's youngest ever footballer in September 2022 by 13-year-old Christopher Atherton, though Collins retains the record in England.

Collins only made the one appearance for Blackpool, and in December 1981, he moved to Southampton, where Alan Ball was now playing.

Southampton
Collins spent his first three years at Southampton playing either for the Youth team or for the reserves, and did not make his first-team debut until 29 September 1984, when he played in a 1–1 draw with Queens Park Rangers.

He continued to play regularly for the reserves, but being short (5 ft 6 in – 1.68 m) and lightweight (8 st 3 lb – 52.2 kg), he lacked the muscle to force himself into the first team. He made two further substitute appearances in the Football League in the 1984–85 season, as well as two appearances in League Cup matches, with his final appearance coming against Arsenal at Highbury on 19 November 1985.

Whilst with the Saints, Collins was called up to join the Republic of Ireland squad for the 1985 FIFA World Youth Championship held in the Soviet Union from August to September 1985. The Irish lost all three Round One matches, finishing bottom of their group.

Portsmouth
In May 1986, Collins moved to Portsmouth where Alan Ball was now manager. He made five league and four cup appearances during Portsmouth's 1986–87 promotion campaign before being loaned out, firstly to Exeter City in November 1987, where he made nine league appearances, and then to Gillingham in November 1988, where he made one appearance in the Football League Trophy.

Colchester United
Collins left Portsmouth in April 1989, moving on to Colchester United to be re-united with Alan Ball, who was then the assistant to Jock Wallace. Although Ball left Colchester in October 1989, Collins remained with the Layer Road club for three years, during which they were relegated to the Conference in 1990, before taking the Conference title, as well as winning the FA Trophy in 1992.

Exeter City
In July 1992, Collins was once again re-united with Ball when he returned to Exeter City. After eleven league appearances (plus four in various cup competitions), and a loan spell with Farnborough Town, Collins left Exeter in the summer of 1993 and dropped down to Non-League football.

Non-league football
Collins returned to Devon where he spent the early part of the 1993–94 season with Crediton United, before moving to join Elmore in February 1994. He remained with the Tiverton based club until December 1996. He subsequently returned to his native Ireland to live.

During his playing career he also played in Denmark and Norway.

Coaching and managerial career
In 1999, he joined his home-town club St Patrick's Athletic as assistant manager to Pat Dolan, succeeding him as manager in February 2003, signing a two-year contract with the Richmond Park outfit.

It was the dream job for Collins, the son of a former St. Patrick's chairman and brother of two former players.

However, despite a League of Ireland Cup win and an FAI Cup final appearance, after just over a year in charge, Collins quit St Patrick's in May 2004 with the club second from bottom in the League of Ireland Premier Division. On his departure, chairman Andy O'Callaghan expressed his hope that Collins would change his mind, saying; "We've left the door open for Eamonn to come back. People are talking to him and praying he will change his mind."

In the event, Collins joined rivals Shelbourne as assistant to Pat Fenlon on 31 May 2004. Collins left Shelbourne following Fenlon's resignation in December 2006.

Soon after leaving Shelbourne, Collins was established as a player's agent. and is now on FIFA's list of registered agents. Amongst his clients is Keith Fahey, who was transferred from St Patrick's to Birmingham City in January 2009.

His son Joe and nephew Michael both played for the U17 Republic of Ireland national football team.

Stephen George McFarland (born December 21, 1954, Tarrant County, Texas) is an American career diplomat and former United States Ambassador to Guatemala (from June 2008 to August 2011).

Background
The son of a diplomat, George Albert McFarland Jr., Ambassador McFarland grew up in Latin America and the Middle East, as well as in central Texas and suburban Washington, D.C.  He is a graduate of the Colegio Franklin Delano Roosevelt American School in Lima, Peru, Yale University, and the U.S. Air War College. He also attended the Marine Corps Platoon Leaders Course.

McFarland speaks fluent Spanish and some Guarani, and he is currently studying Kʼicheʼ, the second most widely spoken language in Guatemala after Spanish.

Diplomatic career
He joined the Foreign Service in 1977, and was subsequently posted to Maracaibo, Venezuela. He has served in a series of assignments in Latin America focusing on U.S. support for democratic transitions, human rights, and security.

He has held positions including political officer in Ecuador and Peru, desk officer for Nicaragua, and political counselor in El Salvador, Bolivia, and Peru. He was the U.S. member of the interim cease-fire monitoring group on the Peru-Ecuador border in 1995, following the Cenepa War. He later served as the Deputy Chief of Mission and the Chargé d'Affaires in both Paraguay and Guatemala, as the Deputy Chief of Mission in Venezuela, and as the Director of Cuban Affairs in the Department of State.

Previously, he served as director of Stability Operations Training in the Foreign Service Institute of the United States Department of State. In 2007, he led a civilian-military Provincial Reconstruction Team embedded with Marine Corps Regimental Combat Team 2 in western Iraq.

Ambassador to Guatemala
He was nominated to the position of Ambassador by President George W. Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. On April 22, 2008 with then Senator Joseph Biden presiding before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, his nomination confirmation was moved en bloc by Senator Biden, seconded by Senator John Kerry and approved unanimously by voice vote.

McFarland was sworn in as U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Guatemala on June 30, 2008 by U.S. Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte in Washington, D.C. He arrived as ambassador in Guatemala on August 5, 2008 with his wife Karin and four sons, Chris, Alex, Andrew, and Kevin.

Shortly after his arrival in Guatemala, he spoke about an espionage scandal. Guatemala's president Álvaro Colom announced that his office and home were bugged with cameras and listening devices. Ambassador McFarland described the situation as a "failure" of the Secretariat of Administrative Affairs and Security (SAAS).

During the nationwide violence of March 2009, the wife of Sergio Morales, Guatemala's Attorney General for Human Rights was kidnapped and tortured. Ambassador McFarland offered the full support of the US to investigate the crime.

Coordinator of Rule of Law and Enforcement-Afghanistan
Ambassador McFarland learned Dari in the Foreign Service Institute in Arlington, VA up until January 2012. After his posting at the Foreign Service Institute, he assumed the post of Coordinator of Rule of Law and Enforcement in Kabul, Afghanistan.
