Lepiota ignivolvata, sometimes known commonly as the orange-girdled parasol, is a fairly rare member of the gilled mushroom genus Lepiota. It is among the larger species in this group, growing in coniferous or deciduous woodland during autumn; it has a primarily European distribution. Being inedible, and perhaps poisonous, it should not be gathered for culinary use. Many of the species in this genus are deadly.

Description
The cap is between  in diameter. It is convex, later flat, and with a raised central boss (umbo). The centre of the cap is reddish brown, or orange-brown, breaking into small scales, which are fewer, and lighter towards the margin. The best identification aid is the orange (somewhat indented) ring, which is low on the white, slightly bulbous to club-shaped stem, which often has an orange flush at its base.

The gills are white to cream, giving a white spore print.  They are free of the stem, and are fairly crowded together. The flesh is white throughout, and has an unpleasant chemical smell, similar to that which is produced when cutting metal; the odor has also been compared to rubber. L. ignivolvata has an unpleasant, rancid taste. The spores are spindle (fusiform) or almond (amygdaloid) in shape, with dimensions of 9–13 to 5–7; µm.

The similar species Lepiota ventriosospora and Lepiota cristata lack the orange colouring on the ring.

Lepiota ignivolvata belongs to the section Fusisporae within genus Lepiota, whose members are characterized by long spindle-shaped spores and a fluffy stem beneath the ring.

Naming history
This species was originally described by Marcel Josserand and M. Bousset in 1948 in the French language in the quarterly bulletin of the French Mycological Society.  However at that time the nomenclatural rules demanded a description in Latin, and so the species did not officially exist until when in 1972 the same two authors republished with a short Latin text in the monthly bulletin of the "Société linnéenne de Lyon" (Linnaean Society of Lyon).  For this reason the full correct author designation is "Bousset & Joss. ex Joss."

Distribution and habitat
Lepiota ignivolvata is widespread across Europe, its stronghold being in central to southern Europe.  In Britain it is rare, and resides on the British Red Data list. It appears in deciduous, and coniferous woods, in autumn, and seems to favour beech.

The Russian Public Opinion Herald () is a Russian sociological journal which is published by the Levada Center four times a year. It was first published in 2003, in combination with the foundation of the Levada Center.

Description
The Russian Public Opinion Herald illustrates the results of monitoring social and economic changes via surveys and opinion polls that a carried out by the Levada Center. This program was originally developed by a collective under the direction of the academician Tatyana Zaslavskaya's in 1992–1993.

Some of the biggest surveys that have been carried out and analyzed in the journal in the past include "protest potential" (since 1993), "relations to economic reforms" (since 1994), "indicators of optimism" (since 1994), "trust in political leaders" (since 2000) and many more.

The journal consists of essays, describing and analysing the results of the different projects. In addition to that there is a tabular part in each issue of the journal to illustrate the outcome of the surveys. Data of certain researches which were published in the past constantly re-appear with updated indicators for their current validity. On several pages of the journal, statistics, theoretical articles, discussions and analytical materials of other researches are also being displayed.

Another part of the journal examines scientific articles, devoted to the basic aspects of the Russian society. Yuri Levada's articles were constantly published in the journal, often concerning the general idea of "The Soviet Person" (Homo Soveticus), a topic which is still of high relevance for the Levada Center today.

The journal is published by the Levada Center in collaboration with the Interdisciplinary Academic Center (Russian: ИНТЕРЦЕНТР).

Lev Gudkov, Boris Dubin, Alexey Levinson, Marina Krasilnikovoja and other employees of the center regularly publish articles in the journal. Some of the most important Russian sociologists, political scientists and researchers who constantly made an appearance in the journal include: Boris Grushin, Igor Kon, Tatyana Vorozhejkina, Georgy Satarov, etc.

In the autumn of 2008 The Russian Public Opinion Herald has been awarded by the Krasnoyarsk fair of book culture for being "a significant contribution to the development of the book industry in Siberia".

In the year of the first publication 2003, only 2 episodes of the journal were released while in the years of 2004 to 2008 the number rose to 6 copies per year. The estimate for 2009 is 4 issues – since very recently, a subscription for a PDF-copy of the journal is also available.

Editor in chief:
From 2003 to 2006 – Yuri Levada (1930–2006)
From 2006 to the present day – Lev Gudkov

The 97th Jäger Division was a light infantry Division of the German Army during World War II. It can trace its origins to the 97th Light Infantry Division which was formed in December 1940. It was then redesignated the 97th Jäger Division in July 1942.

The division fought in the Battle of Kursk and suffered heavy losses. It was then transferred to the lower Dnieper river area and fought well during the retreat through Ukraine. It was transferred to Slovakia in October 1944 and surrendered to the Red Army near Deutschbrod in May 1945.

Background

The main purpose of the German Jäger Divisions was to fight in adverse terrain where smaller, coordinated units were more facilely combat-capable than the brute force offered by the standard infantry divisions. The Jäger divisions were more heavily equipped than mountain divisions, but not as well armed as a larger infantry division. In the early stages of the war, they were the interface divisions fighting in rough terrain and foothills as well as urban areas, between the mountains and plains. The Jägers (hunters in German), relied on a high degree of training and slightly superior communications, as well as their not inconsiderable artillery support. In the middle stages of the war, as the standard infantry divisions were downsized, the Jäger structure of divisions with two infantry regiments became the standard table of organization.

History
On 1 January 1945, the 97th Jäger Division (then part of Army Group Heinrici under Army Group A) had a strength of 10,113 men.

Object sexuality or objectophilia is a group of paraphilias characterized by sexual or romantic attraction focused on particular inanimate objects. Individuals with this attraction may have strong feelings of love and commitment to certain items or structures of their fixation.  For some, sexual or close emotional relationships with humans are incomprehensible. Some object-sexual individuals also often believe in animism, and sense reciprocation based on the belief that objects have souls, intelligence, and feelings, and are able to communicate. Questions of its legality or ethical provenance have not arisen, given that inanimate objects are inert and are not 'harmed' through this specific paraphilia. Public sexual consummation of object sexual desires may be dealt with through public nudity or anti-exhibitionism legislation.

Research
In 2009 Amy Marsh, a clinical sexologist, surveyed the twenty-one English-speaking members of Erika Eiffel's 40-strong OS Internationale about their experiences. About half reported autism spectrum disorders: six had been diagnosed, four were affected but not diagnosed, and three of the remaining nine reported having "some traits." According to Marsh, "The emotions and experiences reported by OS people correspond to general definitions of sexual orientation," such as that in an APA article "on sexual orientation and homosexuality ... [which] refers to sexual orientation as involving 'feelings and self-concept.'"

Sociolinguistic researcher Heiko Motschenbacher has developed the concept of humanonormativity to describe the marginalization of objectum sexuality. Humanonormativity is "the belief that people normally and naturally engage in sexual practices and romantic relationships with other human beings." It arises as a discourse that pathologizes objectum sexuality. This concept has been referenced in relevant academic fields, including research on fictosexuality.

OS awareness and advocacy
In 2009, Erika Eiffel appeared on Good Morning America and The Tyra Banks Show with Amy Marsh to discuss her "marriage" to the Eiffel Tower and how her object love helped her become a world champion archer. Marsh shared the results of her survey and her belief that OS could be a genuine sexual orientation, and reasoned that if childhood trauma were a factor, that there would be more OS individuals. Eiffel, who  had adopted her surname after a 2007 "marriage" to the Eiffel Tower, founded OS Internationale, an educational website and international online community for those identifying or researching the condition to love objects.

Literature
Marsh sees OS-like behavior in classic literature. In Victor Hugo's The Hunchback of Notre Dame:

Describing his passion for sculptures, Horace Walpole commented in 1791 that "Sir William Hamilton had actually married his Gallery of Statues".

Constantino Reyes-Valerio (10 January 1922 - 13 December 2006) was a  prominent Mexican scholar
of pre-Columbian Mesoamerican cultures, particularly the Aztec and the Maya as well as the Colonial Art.

Reyes-Valerio identified the artistic contribution of Native Mexican Indians in the Colonial painting and sculpture; he coined the term
Indochristian art. Another major contribution was his seminal work on the chemical composition and process of the Maya Blue Pigment
where he re-discovered the technique used by the Maya to create the famous turquoise blue pigment. He was granted a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1972 for Fine Arts Research. He corresponded extensively with major scholars in Mexico and abroad such as George Kubler, Santiago Sebastian and Enrique Marco Dorta among others. In 2000 he was named Emeritus Researcher by the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia.

In April 2009, a special edition of the INAH bulletin (Boletin de Monumentos Historicos Num 12 enero-abril 2008) was published as an in memoriam edition dedicated to Constantino Reyes-Valerio. Several important researchers, Miguel Leon-Portilla, Alfredo López Austin, Eduardo Matos Moctezuma, Giacomo Chiari, Carlos Navarrete Cáceres, Beatriz Barba Ahuatzin, Dora Sierra, Guillermo Tovar y de Teresa, Manuel Sanchez del Rio, Rosa Camelo among others contributed with articles to this bulletin.

He was a very active photographer and took the photographs for several books and to the general archive of the INAH. In 2009, his contribution was recognised by naming the Photographic Archive of the "Coordinacion Nacional de Monumentos Culturales" of INAH with his name.

He received several awards, including the Guggenheim Fellowship, the Rafael Ramirez Prize granted by the S.E.P., Premio Francisco Javier Clavijero granted by INAH and the Emeritus Researcher degree by INAH as well.

Trinchesia speciosa, common name the "candy nudibranch", is a species of sea slug, an aeolid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Trinchesiidae.

Distribution
This species was described from two specimens, one found in a rock pool one mile south of Kalk Bay harbour and the other amongst barnacles at Dalebrook, both in False Bay, South Africa. The candy nudibranch is endemic to South Africa. It is found from the Atlantic coast of the Cape Peninsula to Port Elizabeth, intertidally to at least 30 m.

Description
The candy nudibranch is a vividly coloured nudibranch, having a yellow-orange body and turquoise or purple cerata with yellow tips. It grows to 20 mm in length. The rhinophores are smooth and usually also yellow-orange, although they make take on the colours of the cerata. Three distinct colour forms exist, two with blue cerata and yellow to orange rhinophores and another form with lilac cerata and lilac coloured rhinophores and oral tentacles. The colour form or similar species with iridescent blue cerata was identified as Cuthona ornata by Gosliner and as Cuthona speciosa by Rudman, 2002.

Ecology
The candy nudibranch eats hydroids of the genus Sertularella. In common with other aeolid nudibranchs, the cerata of the candy nudibranch aid in respiration but also contain extensions of the digestive system. The candy nudibranch eats the hydroid and passes its nematocysts unharmed through its digestive system to the tips of its cerata. Here the nematocysts mature and are then used by the nudibranch for its own defence. It is probable that the bright colours of the candy nudibranch serve to advertise to predators that it is toxic.

Candy nudibranchs are hermaphrodites. Their egg mass is a spiral collar of orange eggs.

Jeremiah of Wallachia (born 29 June 1556 - 26 February 1625) was a Romanian-born Capuchin lay brother who spent his entire adult life serving as an infirmarian of the Order in Italy. He was beatified by Pope John Paul II on 30 October 1983, the first of his nation to be so honored. Born Ion Costist or Ioan (John) Costişte, he emigrated to Naples during his adolescence. Also known as Geremia from Wallachia, he became noted for his careful attention to the merciful works and to the care of the poor. His vision of the Blessed Mother resulted in one of the best known images created of him.

Life
He was born Ioan Costişte in a village in the Principality of Moldavia (Wallachia) to Margareta Bărbat and Stoica Costişte (Kostist), who were prosperous farmers. Few details have survived of his childhood and youth, other than that as a child he had developed the conviction that he wanted to go to Italy because that was where the best Christians were to be found. His mother told him it was a place "where the monks were all holy and there was the pope, the Vicar of Christ"; the fact that he was illiterate and knew his own dialect and no other language did not hinder his decision.

At the age of 19, Costişte left home with his parents' permission to carry out his dream. After a long journey during which he served as a physician's assistant, he arrived in Bari, Italy, where he settled at the age of 22. He began to serve the celebrated doctor Pietro Lo Iacono. After five years of life there, he determined that he was not finding what he sought; he was then resolved to go back home. However, on 8 May 1579 he was admitted into the novitiate of the Capuchin friars for the Province of Naples, where he was given the religious name Jeremiah on 8 May 1579. After his profession of religious vows a year later, he was assigned to a number of friaries in the province between 1579 and 1584; among those positions was in 1585 acting as a medical assistant at the Capuchin medical centre in their convent of Saint Eframo Nuovo in Naples.

In 1585, Jeremiah was assigned to the infirmary of the Monastery of St. Ephrem the Old in Naples, where he would live out the rest of his life. There he cared for the sick friars of the community, as well as for the poor and sick of the city. He seemed born for this task, becoming noted for his compassion for the suffering. For him, people were "part of the suffering Jesus and he saw them like Jesus himself". He came to serve even lepers, for whom he would prepare an herbal preparation to cover the stench of their decaying flesh. Miraculous cures began to be associated with his nursing and prayers. He also cared for the insane, becoming the sole caretaker of one friar who was so violent that he drove everyone else away. He cared for that friar for nearly five years, and later called him his "recreation". Jeremiah felt such a commitment to the poverty that is a hallmark of the Franciscan Order that he is said to have spent 35 years wearing the same habit. In a like manner, his ration of food generally went to others.

On 14 August 1608, the eve of the Feast of the Assumption, he had a vision of the Blessed Mother in which he enquired to her the reason she did not wear a crown; she responded with: "Here is my crown: my son". He confided this vision to his friend and friar Pacifico da Salerno and soon the tale spread from person to person. An artist even made an icon that depicted this event. He would refer to her as "Mammarella Nostra".

In 1625, Jeremiah, by then aged 69 years, was becoming aware of his approaching death. With that his spirit of self-sacrifice grew. On 26 February of that year, a great personage at the Spanish royal court (Torre del Greco) was seriously ill, and summoned Jeremiah to care for him. Jeremiah did not understand why he was not sent a means of transport. On a long walk from the monastery a woman tells him:

"We have to come Wednesday to the friary."
"You will have to find me."
"But where will you be?"
"I want to go to my homeland."

His return to Naples witnessed him contracting pleuropneumonia; he died of that on 5 March 1625. His final words were "Yes, Jesus, come! Thank you!" After his death he was clothed in the habit six times since the faithful snipped parts of it off for themselves as relics. He is buried in the church of the Immaculate Conception in Naples.

Contemporary reputation
A particular phrase common among his peers was: "who can achieve the charity of Brother Geremia?" He was known to act on all the merciful acts both corporal and spiritual; these acted as his vision for his life and indeed the core of his own characteristics. He believed that God was merciful love but also applied this to the Trinity, the Passion of Jesus Christ, the Eucharist, the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Universal Church; he extended this with his belief that humankind was the gift of the Lord's merciful love.

Costist was known to his peers for his insightful discussions and for his natural talents at consoling those who suffered. He was perceived to radiate personal warmth and an aura of being a simple friar. He spent his nights in the cells of the ill or of other friars and even said himself that he was so poor he could not even hope to afford the rent of a cell for himself. Costist would proclaim thanks: "Lord, I thank You because I have always served and have never been served. I have always been subject and have never been commanded".

Veneration
The beatification process commenced in Naples after the cause received the papal approval of Pope Urban VIII on 25 September 1627 and a move that designated the late religious with the title Servant of God as the first stage in the process. The cause for Jeremiah's beatification was started on 3 September 1687, but remained stalled until 1905, at which time a biography of his life was published in Naples, entitled Vita di Fra Geremia Valacco. In 1914 he became a topic of study by the Romanian Academy, and in 1944 Professor Grigore Manoilescu (who was an Orthodox Christian) released a short biography of him in the Romanian language, Români dăruiţi altor neamuri.

On 14 October 1947, Jeremiah was declared a Servant of God by Pope Pius XII and venerable through a proclamation of his heroic virtue issued by Pope John XXIII on 18 December 1959. He was beatified by Pope John Paul II on 30 October 1983 following the recognition of a singule miracle attributed to his intercession.

The East Norfolk Railway was a pre-grouping railway company operating a standard gauge 25 mile, mostly single track, railway running between Norwich Thorpe railway station and Cromer in the English county of Norfolk. It opened in 1874, reaching Cromer three years later, and remains mostly operational. The company also operated a branch between Wroxham and County School, which closed to passengers in 1952, and had proposed a branch to Blakeney in 1878, which was never constructed.

History
The plans for the East Norfolk Railway's Aylsham, Cromer and North Walsham lines were first deposited in 1859.  The line opened as far as North Walsham in 1874, but was in an incomplete state – with neither crossing keeper's cottages or goods sheds being finished. This contributed to a lack of early cash flow, and liquidity, delayed the extension to Cromer.  A temporary railhead was opened at Gunton on 29 July 1876.  Gunton station, and the crossing keeper's cottages to the south, were built by Lord Suffield to blend into the estate.  The single track railway between Norwich and Cromer being finally opened for the summer of 1877 – although the lightly constructed sand embankments were noted as a concern by the line's inspector. At this time, North Walsham contributed 68.5% of the line's receipts.

The 1864 Act included plans for a line to Aylsham, diverging south of Wroxham station. In 1876 this plan was revived, and modified, to leave the main line north of Wroxham station. The branch line diverged on a tight 10 chain curve at Wroxham Junction. A large granary was provided at Aylsham, stables were provided at Coltishall for the malt trade and a local man paid for a large shed at Buxton.  The Great Eastern Railway had taken control of the East Norfolk Railway in 1881, before this line was completed.  The branch joined the Great Eastern Railway's line from Dereham to Fakenham at Broom Green, where there was a 20 chain curve.  The complete line opened in 1882.

Although nominally independent, the East Norfolk Railway was operated by the Great Eastern Railway from the start of services, and soon passed into ownership of the latter company.  Fares on the line, along with goods rates, were harmonized with, and set by, the Great Eastern Railway.

Routes

Norwich to Cromer

Leaving Norwich Thorpe station, the line followed the Norfolk and Yarmouth Railway until it reached a small halt at Whitlingham railway station. This station has been closed, and the platforms removed. The East Norfolk line leaves the Norfolk and Yarmouth; climbing a 1 in 80 bank for about a mile northwards from Whitlingham Junction.

Leaving the Yare valley, trains arrive at Salhouse station, 6 miles from Norwich, which retains two operational platforms, although the goods yard closed on 18 April 1966. The original ENR timber building on the down platform has been demolished, although the later GER building on the up platform survives.

The next station was reached after passing over the longest viaduct on the route, a 55-foot structure originally built using timber but rebuilt in the 1890s, over the River Bure.  Wroxham was 8½ miles from Norwich. This was formerly the junction for the ENR branch line to Aylsham and County School, and also marks the limit of the double track section. The branch line formerly diverged from the Cromer line a short distance north of the station, but closed to all traffic in 1982 and was subsequently dismantled, replaced by the Bure Valley Railway. The station had coal and grain handling facilities in the yard north east of the station and, although this yard is no longer in use, the isolated tracks remain.

Worstead railway station, 13 miles from Norwich, is the next halt. Although originally equipped with two platforms, only one remains in use. The goods yard was closed on 13 July 1964, but the abolished signal box remains in situ as a shed and garage.

The next station, located 16 miles from Norwich, was formerly known as North Walsham Main railway station to distinguish it from North Walsham Town railway station on the rival Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway, but is now simply referred to as North Walsham. The station was also formerly used to serve trains working on the Norfolk and Suffolk Joint Railway route to Mundesley. The station is equipped with a passing loop, although the original station buildings and signal box have been demolished.

Leaving North Walsham, trains soon pass over the former Midland and Great Northern line to Melton Constable, now in use as part of the Weavers' Way long-distance footpath. Part of the Norfolk and Suffolk line to Mundesley has been used, along with part of the Midland and Great Northern line to Yarmouth, as the North Walsham bypass, which can be seen paralleling the route through the town.

The next station, 19 miles from Norwich, is at Gunton railway station. There is no village of this name, and the station is actually situated in the parish of Thorpe Market. Gunton Station was built primarily for the convenience of Lord Suffield (a major investor in the original East Norfolk Railway Company). Gunton's original station buildings are preserved but are no longer in the ownership of the railway.

The line climbs steeply away from Gunton station, with the original route into Cromer being abandoned by the modern railway approximately half a mile from the original terminus - at the site of the former Cromer Junction with the Norfolk and Suffolk Joint Railway.

The terminus of the line was Cromer High railway station, the first station opened in Cromer, situated to the south on the outskirts of the town on a steep escarpment. The station (along with the East Norfolk line) was incorporated into the Great Eastern Railway, who had operated the services from the beginning. It served as the terminus of Great Eastern Railway services from London and Norwich. Initially named "Cromer" on opening, it was renamed "Cromer High" in 1948.

The station opened on 26 March 1877. Because of steep gradients near the town, the station was built in open fields some distance from the town itself.

On 20 September 1954 passenger services ceased at Cromer High, with all traffic diverted to Cromer Beach (now renamed "Cromer"). The station remained open as a freight terminus until 7 March 1960, but was then closed completely and the station demolished.

Wroxham to County School

The ENR branch line to Aylsham and County School diverged westwards from the Cromer line just north of Wroxham station on a 10 chain radius curve. The "Western Extension" opened as far as Aylsham on 1 January 1880, with service reaching Cawston on 1 September. The line to Reepham was opened in 1881, at the same time as the East Norfolk Railway was amalgamated with the Great Eastern Railway. County School was opened as the junction with the former Norfolk Railway line from Norwich to Fakenham in 1882.

Passenger services over the line ended on 15 September 1952, with the line between Reepham and Foulsham also being closed to goods. This section was then partially relaid in 1960, with the Themelthorpe Curve goods link with the former Norwich line of the M&GN being opened 12 September. The remaining section of line between Foulsham and County School was closed on 31 October 1964.  Buxton Lamas and Coltishall closed to goods on 18 April 1966.  The line between Themelthorpe and Wroxham remained in use as a goods line until the 1980s.

The first station after Wroxham was at Coltishall, followed by Buxton railway station and Aylsham. This section is still in use as the Bure Valley Railway. Although the passenger service ended in 1952, freight traffic continued until 1981 and the line through Aylsham was formally closed on 6 January 1982. A weed-killing train ran in 1983 and track-lifting trains ran the following year.. In 1990, the station buildings at Aylsham, then one of the most complete remaining Great Eastern stations in Norfolk, were obliterated to make way for the Bure Valley Railway whose headquarters now occupy the site.

Beyond Aylsham the route survives as part of the Marriott's Way long-distance footpath and cycleway. The next station was at Cawston, where the building survives as a private residence, although the formation and platforms have been buried. Cawston was the planned location of the junction for the proposed, but never built, branch line to the coast at Blakeney, with a triangle on the Aylsham side of the village being shown on plans.

The next station, Reepham also remains, along with its large goods shed and former yard, although a road improvement scheme in the town has partially blocked a section of the line. Although the tracks have been removed, the Whitwell and Reepham railway intend to restore railway services to this station.

Just west of Reepham is the Themelthorpe Curve, connecting the ENR to the Midland and Great Northern line to Norwich City railway station - one of the last sections of railway line to have been built in Norfolk. This also marks the point where the Marriott's Way leaves the formation.

West of Themelthorpe the ENR originally passed under the Midland and Great Northern, and the abutments of the bridge can still be seen. The line then continues to Foulsham. The section between Themelthorpe and Foulsham is the longest-closed section of the route, having been totally abolished in 1952. Although closed to passengers at this time, goods traffic on the section between Foulsham and County School until 31 October 1964.

The final section of embankment before Broom Green has been ploughed in, and few traces remain of the southern cord of the ENR triangle connecting with the MNR. The cutting forming the northern cord of the triangle, which was never laid with track, survives. From Broom Green shares the formation of former Wymondham, Dereham, Fakenham and Wells-next-the-Sea for the final mile to County School.

Cawston to Blakeney (proposed, but not built)

The East Norfolk Railway proposed a line from Cawston to Cley and Blakeney in 1879, with an intermediate station planned for Holt. It was estimated that this line would cost £300,000, but generate only £7 per mile per week - but the main intention of the line was block access by rival companies. The proposed line had very little local support, especially in Holt - where the station was in fact going to be located in Letheringsett rather than the named town.

Present day operations

The main line remains in regular operation between Norwich and Cromer, with the exception of Cromer High railway station. Trains approaching Cromer use part of the formation of the Norfolk and Suffolk Joint Railway, before joining the former Midland & Great Northern Joint Railway (M&GN) at Cromer Beach railway station. It is presently marketed as the Bittern Line, and formed part of Network Rail Network Rail Route 7, as SRS 07.11 - East Suffolk line and Norfolk branches. Since 2010 it is a part of Strategic Route D: East Anglia.

The first  of the branch line, between Wroxham railway station and Aylsham railway station, operates as the Bure Valley Railway  minimum gauge heritage railway.

"Beyond Here Lies Nothin' " is a song written by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan (with Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter) and performed by Dylan as the opening track on his 2009 studio album Together Through Life. The title is a quote from the ancient Roman poet Ovid. The track was available as a free download on Dylan's official website from March 30 to March 31, 2009, and a photo montage set to the song premiered on Amazon on April 21. It has been anthologized on every reissue of The Essential Bob Dylan since 2010. Like much of Dylan's 21st century output, he produced the song himself using the pseudonym Jack Frost.

Composition and recording
In their book Bob Dylan All the Songs: The Story Behind Every Track, authors Philippe Margotin and Jean-Michel Guesdon describe the song as one in which Dylan and co-writer Robert Hunter have "created a beautiful love story set as a film noir, with abandoned cars lining the boulevards and light from only a few stars and the moon". They note that, musically, it "sounds quite different from anything Dylan has written so far. It has the sound of the modern blues of the 1950s, the Chicago blues, enriched by David Hidalgo's accordion and Donnie Herron's trumpet". They also claim that the song bears a resemblance to Otis Rush's 1958 song "All Your Love (I Miss Loving)" with a lead guitar part that is similar to Fleetwood Mac's 1968 single "Black Magic Woman". The song is performed in the key of A minor.

Reception and legacy
Jon Dolan, writing in Rolling Stone, which placed the song 16th on a list of "The 25 Best Bob Dylan Songs of the 21st Century", praised its atmospheric musicianship: "With Mike Campbell’s guitar lashing against rumbling drums, and the forlorn feel of Donnie Herron’s trumpet and David Hidalgo’s accordion, the song has a mysterious noir feel".

Spectrum Culture included the song on a list of Dylan's "20 Best Songs of the '00s". In an article accompanying the list, critic Tyler Dunston noted that the lyrics seemed to be a deliberate reversal of the Ovid exile poem that gave Dylan's song its title:

Ultimate Classic Rock listed it as one off the "Top 10 Rock and Roll Accordion Songs" in 2013, a sentiment shared by Chaospin in 2021.  Ultimate Classic Rock critic Matthew Wilkening ratedit as the 4th best song Dylan recorded between 1992 and 2011.

A 2021 Guardian article included it on a list of "80 Bob Dylan songs everyone should know".

The song peaked at #10 on Billboard's Adult Alternative Songs chart in June 2009. The following year it was nominated at the 52nd Grammy Awards for Grammy Award for Best Rock Vocal Performance, Solo.

In popular culture
[[File:BeyondHereLiesNothinvideo.png|thumb|left|Screen capture from the Beyond Here Lies Nothin''' music video]]
The song was used in the trailer for the second season of HBO's True Blood, and was again featured in the final episode of the second season of the program, "Beyond Here Lies Nothin'", which takes its title from the song.

Blue-Tongue Films created a music video for the song directed by Nash Edgerton, a filmmaker and stuntman, that features Joel Stoffer and Amanda Aardsma in an extreme marital spat. It was the first of four official music videos Edgerton would direct for Dylan and the only one in which Dylan himself did not appear. The video provoked divisive reactions upon release because of its depiction of extreme violence. As Edgerton himself noted in an interview with Pitchfork, "it seems people either really love it or really fucking hate it. There's no in between. I'm all for things getting a reaction, whether it's good or bad. Not that I set out to upset anyone, but I think some people don't get the irony in things that I make".

The song plays over the closing credits of Olivier Dahan's Renée Zellweger-starring film My Own Love Song.

Live performances
Between 2009 and 2019 Dylan performed the song 460 times in concert. This makes it the most frequently performed song from Together Through Life'' by a considerable margin. The live debut occurred at Fifth Third Field in Dayton, Ohio on July 10, 2009 and the last performance (to date) took place at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa on October 23, 2019.

The Royal Hospital was an acute general hospital in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. It covered most of the block bounded to the north by West Street, to the east by Westfield Terrace, to the south by Devonshire Street and to the west by Eldon Street.

History

The facility had its origins in a public dispensary which opened in 1832. It became known as the Sheffield Public Dispensary Hospital after it was extended in 1860 and it became known as the Sheffield Public Hospital after it was extended again in 1870.

The hospital was completely rebuilt in the early 1890s and was officially opened by the Duchess of York as the Sheffield Royal Hospital on 11 May 1895. A new nurses' home was completed in the late 1890s. The Mount Zion chapel on Westfield Terrace, with its impressive facade in Classical Revival style with projecting portico with pediment and a pair of giant Ionic columns in antis, was acquired in 1922. Once the chapel had been converted into an out-patients department, it was officially opened in its new role by the Minister of Health, Neville Chamberlain, in 1927.

The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948 and, after services had transferred to the Royal Hallamshire Hospital, it closed in 1978.

The buildings were demolished in 1981, except for the facade of the former Mount Zion Chapel on Westfield Terrace, which as a Grade II listed building, was converted into offices.

Choi Seung-Ho () is identified as a Korean ecopoet. His publications also include children's poetry. He was born in the small rural village of Chungcheong, Gangwon Province, in 1954, and taught for many years in an elementary school in the countryside.

In 2004, the Daesan Foundation sponsored him and other writers in fora in Mexico and Cuba. In 2007, the Korea Literature Translation Institute sponsored him at ARCO in Malaga City, Spain.

Work
Choi's work focuses on the environment and modern society's impact on it, in particular, the crisis brought on by rapid industrialization and the consequent vulgarization of human life in a capitalistic society. Choi uses images of “waste”—basements, drains, and toilets filled with waste material and the rank smell emanating from them to symbolize the corruption dominating urban landscape. Despite such offensive images, the tone of his poetry remains thoughtful and meditative and the poet never descends to vulgar word play. He looks upon the corrupt world with the metaphysical awareness of a Buddhist monk.

Buddhism and Taoism have been influential in the formation of Lee's poetic sensibility. As an aspiring poet, he often immersed himself in intense contemplation of a chosen topic to increase concentration and mental clarity. The mental pain that accompanies such intellectual exercises has burnt itself into his face. To his credit, his poetry does not flaunt an overtly religious tone although his fervor is that of a religious disciple.

Although Choi has stated that he seeks to merge “The Way of Poetry” and “the Way of Truth,” he does not identify poetry as the truth itself, but rather as a process of reaching the truth. From the critique of urban vulgarity and secular desires, Choi's poetry has evolved to a philosophical exploration of the origin of all creation. In more recent prose poems he applies his powers of close observation to suggest  compassionate contemplation as a remedy:

Svendborg railway station ( og Svendborg Station) is the principal railway station serving the town of Svendborg on the island of Funen, Denmark.

The station was built in 1876 for the opening of Svendborgbanen July 12, 1876. The main building is designed by N. P. C. Holsøe. The building was opened July 10, 1878.

The station building contains a DSB kiosk and a DSB travel agency. The kiosk has since been converted to a 7-Eleven store.  DSB tickets are available for purchase in the 7-Eleven store.  There also is a Fynbus customer service center that sells bus passes.  The station contains an indoor waiting area, however the travel agency no longer is in operation.

The Fynbus local city bus stop is located on the street side of the station, and the regional bus station is located on the opposite side of the tracks.

Decommissioned lines
 Svendborg–Nyborgbanen in commission from June 1, 1897, to May 30, 1964.

Frank Parkinson (7 February 1887 – 28 January 1946) was a British electrical engineer, most notable for early electric lighting installations, such as light bulbs and electric motors.  He was a major benefactor to the University of Leeds with the landmark tower (appearing on the university logo) named in his honour.

Life
The son of a stonemason, originally from Guiseley, he began his studies in electrical engineering in 1908 at Leeds University.  He first worked for local firm Rhodes Motors before setting up F & A. Parkinson and Company in partnership with his brother Albert. The firm continued to grow making Frank "Yorkshire's quietest millionaire."

In 1927 he took over Crompton and Co. to form Crompton Parkinson. Crompton and Co. was one of the oldest lighting companies in the world, founded in 1878 by Colonel REB Crompton, a multi-talented entrepreneur who designed and installed some of the earliest recorded electric lighting installations at buildings such as Windsor Castle and Holyrood Palace.  Established as an industry leader, Crompton Parkinson was taken over by the Hawker Siddeley aerospace group in 1968 and the Crompton range continued to be further diversified to incorporate cable, fuses, batteries and metering instruments in addition to lamps and luminaires.  On 17 May 2002, the factory in his home town closed down.

After seeing plans for the new Leeds University buildings in 1936, Parkinson, by then one of West Yorkshire's most successful businessmen, offered to pay for the entrance hall and tower. The Parkinson Building and Tower has been a major landmark in Leeds and a defining feature of the University since its opening on 9 November 1951.

He lived at Charters near Ascot, in an art deco home which has since been converted into flats.  After Parkinson's death, the house was loaned to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor when they returned to England in 1947 and two years later it was bought by Sir Montague Burton, boss of the Leeds tailoring empire. Since 1959 it has been owned by Vickers Research and the DeBeers diamond mining company.

There is a picture of him at the National Portrait Gallery

Legacy
The Frank Parkinson Scholarship was established in 1936 for students at Leeds University.  In announcing his gift, he stated, “I have long cherished the ambition to do something to ensure that the kind of assistance which was extended to me as a student should be available to a larger number of Yorkshire students, especially those who might otherwise be unable to contemplate a University career, or who, in spite of proved ability, might be unable to carry on postgraduate research work through lack of means.”  In 2009 it was available for full-time post-graduate research and was worth £8000.

Two trusts were set up following his death from the proceeds of his estate:  the Frank Parkinson Yorkshire Trust and the smaller Frank Parkinson Agricultural Trust.

His Yorkshire Trust has the objectives of: a) the provision of relief and assistance in any form to old, sick and/or poor persons living in the County of Yorks, or of Yorkshire antecedents, and in particular, primarily but not exclusively living
in, or associated with, or having antecedents from the Parish of Guiseley. b) the provision of hospital accommodation and/or convalescent home accommodation in the form of endowment of a bed or beds at any hospital or otherwise for the benefit of such persons as aforesaid. c) the provision or assistance in the provision of almshouses for old people in the said Parish of
Guiseley. d) the encouragement and assistance of Technical Education in the Electrical Industry generally. e) the establishment of Scholarships, Bursaries and Exhibitions at any University, Technical School or other Educational Institution in the United Kingdom or under any scheme of apprenticeships for training in any branch of the Electrical Industry. f) the granting of financial assistance in any form and under any conditions to enable young persons of ability who are in need of such assistance and are working or intending to work in the Electrical Industry and whether such young persons shall be from the home country or abroad to improve their education and experience by working or training abroad, or in this country.
g) the establishment of convalescent homes, hospitals and clinics of all kinds for work people in the Electrical Industry.  h) the provision of assistance in any form for persons engaged in the Electrical Industry, who may be unemployed and in necessitous circumstances. i) the making of grants to any charity which is carrying on any work in connection with the
provision of any such benefits as aforesaid.

The trust contributes towards a complex of 43 flats and bungalows offering sheltered accommodation in Guiseley.  It has a long waiting list, with potential residents waiting 10 years prior to entry.  The complex was valued at nearly £5 million in 2005.

In 2001, £100,000 was donated by his trust to fund work at the Frank Parkinson Tissue Engineering Laboratory at Leeds University.  In 2004 the trust donated £223,000 to Wharfedale hospital in order that it could purchase a new fluoroscopy suite.  In addition, there are many other smaller donations made annually.

The Frank Parkinson Agricultural Trust Deed dated 4 May 1943, has as its principal objective the improvement and welfare of British agriculture.  The Trustees may, at their discretion, apply trust income or capital towards any one or more of the following objectives: a) the improvement and welfare of British agriculture, b) the undertaking of agricultural research or the provision of grants in aid of agricultural research, c) the establishment of scholarships, bursaries and exhibitions at any University, College or other technical institution or under any scheme of training in any branch of the agricultural industry, d) the granting of financial assistance in any form and under any conditions to enable young persons of ability who are in need of assistance and are working in the agricultural industry to improve their education and experience by working, training or otherwise, e) the establishment of convalescent homes, hospitals, hostels and social and welfare amenities of all kinds for work people in the agricultural industry, f) the encouragement and assistance of the social and cultural welfare of work people in the agricultural industry and g) the making of grants to any charity or organisation which is carrying on any work in connection with the provision of any of such benefits as aforesaid.  The managers of this fund try to produce an income of £50,000 annually  and helped to fund the new library at Harper Adams University College.

There are two roads named after him: Frank Parkinson Court in Guiseley  (the location of the alms houses) and Parkinson Drive  (the location of the former Crompton Parkinson factory).  There is also a centre at Hartpury College which bears his name.

The student halls of residence at Seale-Hayne Agricultural College also bear his name (Frank Parkinson Hall). They are now a part of Hannahs at Seale-Hayne operated by The Dame Hannah Rogers Trust.

Buck Benny Rides Again is a 1940 American Western comedy film from Paramount Pictures starring Jack Benny and Ellen Drew. The film featured regulars from Benny's radio show including Eddie 'Rochester' Anderson, Andy Devine, Phil Harris, and Dennis Day. It also included a debut film appearance for radio star Lillian Cornell. The film was directed and produced by Mark Sandrich and produced by Joseph L. Mankiewicz.

Plot
Jack Benny resists the entreaties of bandleader Phil Harris to journey to Nevada, where Phil's sweetheart, Brenda Tracy, is waiting for her divorce, until Jack meets Joan Cameron, one of a trio of singing sisters. Believing that the only real men hail from the West, Joan spurns Jack's advances even though her sisters encourage the courtship.

Realizing that Jack's infatuation presents the bait to lure him West, Phil tells Joan that Jack owns a ranch in Nevada, and when Fred Allen's press agent broadcasts the story, all of New York starts talking about Jack's ranch. To save face, Jack, determined to prove that he is a true son of the West, travels to Nevada. After Joan and her sisters arrive to perform at a nearby plush dude ranch, Jack poses as the owner of Andy Devine's spread. To impress Joan, Jack pays Andy's ranch hands to stage fights with him, but his plot backfires when he mistakes two real outlaws for Andy's patsies.

Meanwhile, Joan overhears Rochester, Jack's butler, discussing Jack's ruse, and hires the outlaws to hold Jack up, but when she learns that Fred Allen's press agent is in town, she warns Jack. When the outlaws hold up the hotel, Jack, believing that the robbery is a fake, rushes to the rescue and, with the help of his pet bear Carmichael, captures the bandits and saves Joan.

Nicholas de Jongh is a British writer, theatre critic and playwright. He served as the senior drama critic of the Evening Standard from 1991 to 2009. Prior to that, he had worked for The Guardian for almost 20 years.

In 2008, de Jongh successfully made the transition from critic to playwright when his play Plague Over England was staged at the Finborough Theatre in Earl's Court. Set in 1950s England, the play takes a look back at the arrest of the actor John Gielgud for homosexual soliciting at the height of his fame. The play was an instant hit and sold out for its run at the Finborough. In 2009, the play transferred to the West End.

John Deare (26 October 1759, Liverpool – 17 August 1798, Rome) was a British neo-classical sculptor. His nephew Joseph (1803–1835) was also a sculptor.

Life
Born to a jeweller in Liverpool, John Deare enrolled at the Royal Academy Schools in 1777, where he won a gold medal for a Miltonic subject (1780). Meanwhile he also served an apprenticeship to the London carver Thomas Carter from 1776 to 1783, before setting up on his own. He continued to produce work for his old master as well as for John Bacon and John Cheere. Independent commissions included the reliefs The War of Jupiter and the Titans in plaster for Whitton Park's pediment and The Good Samaritan (post-1782) for the Liverpool Dispensary. Deare was himself admired by his contemporaries, particularly by Joseph Nollekens. However, his only surviving early works are those he produced to be made in ceramic by Derby for clocks by Benjamin Vulliamy.

The Royal Academy gave him a pension for a three-year stay in Rome (on the condition he sent back a work to the RA's annual exhibition). Starting in 1785, he drew the classical sculpture collections at (among others) the Villa Albani and the Capitoline Museums. He set up an artistic circle including Robert Fagan, Charles Grignion the Younger, Samuel Woodforde and George Cumberland. For his exhibition piece he modelled in plaster The Judgement of Jupiter (with over 20 figures and emulating history painting of the time, it was the largest 18th-century relief by a British artist) but the Academy argued with him over its size and it was not sent to London. A marble version however, was commissioned by Sir Richard Worsley in 1788, and is now in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. He produced a relief of Edward and Eleanor (drawn from a play by James Thomson) for Sir George Corbett and commanded a price of £700 for a statue of Apollo for Lord Berwick. He also acted as an agent for Thomas Hope and the Earl of Bristol in their acquisition of works by his friend John Flaxman and for Henry Blundell and John Latouche in acquiring works by Canova, all four of whom also bought works by Deare.

After his pension expired he found that he was so in demand in Rome that he was able to settle there and finance himself through carving copies of classical sculptures for British Grand Tourists, restoring classical sculptures for collectors and by producing chimneypieces for patrons. This last included one at Frogmore House for the Prince of Wales (employing Joseph Gandy and other architects for the purpose).

By his death in Rome in 1798 Deare had married an Italian woman, who he left with their children as a widow and for whose benefit Deare's friends such as Vincenzo Pacetti and Christopher Hewetson posthumously disposed of his studio contents. There are conflicting accounts of how he died. One story says that after sleeping on a block of marble hoping for inspiration he caught a chill and died. Another says that was thrown into a dungeon by a jealous French officer who had amorous intent towards his wife. Three days after his death he was buried in Rome's Protestant Cemetery.

Marienstein is a village in the municipality of Waakirchen in the west Upper Bavarian district of Miesbach.

History
1850/51
The owner of the Oberkammerloh estate built 2 cement ovens and a mill complex. The stone for his cement factory was extracted from Holzwiesenthal quarry where he later moved his business and renamed it after his niece, Maria, to Marienstein.

1852
Herr Deuringer was given mining rights for coal by the Royal Mining Office in Munich. Marienstein became a mining centre until 1962 when the last seam was worked. After the closure of the cement factory in 1998 the community strove to turn the area into an industrial estate.

Samarcanda is an album by Italian singer-songwriter Roberto Vecchioni, released in 1977. The work was highly successful, mostly thanks to the title track, and established him as one of the most popular singer-songwriters in Italy.

As usual for Vecchioni, the lyrics mix autobiographical themes such as love life, nostalgia with literary and poetical ones.

"Samarcanda", is inspired to an Oriental fable (sometimes called "Appointment in Samarra") and is about a soldier who, in a feast to celebrate the end of the war, sees Death in the form of an old woman amongst the crowd. He madly rides to Samarkand to escape, and finds her there waiting for him.

"Vaudeville", a satirical song about a singer-songwriter being shot on stage, is a reference to the "trial" suffered during a concert held the previous year by Vecchioni's colleague Francesco De Gregori, as well as to the perception at the time of singer-songwriters in Italy.

"Due giornate fiorentine" is about Vecchioni's first wife, Irene Bozzi, betraying him.

"Blu(e) notte" is about Vecchioni meeting the poet Sandro Penna.

"Per un vecchio bambino" (meaning "For an old child") is dedicated to Vecchioni's father.

"Canzone per Sergio" is instead named after Vecchioni's brother, a notary in Lipari.

"L'ultimo spettacolo" is a long ballad beginning with a slow motif about Homer's heroes, but finishing with more dramatic lyrics describing the departure of Vecchioni's wife to meet her lover. The episode of the singer accompanying her to the platform of the train to Turin will reappear in several of his future songs, such as "Vorrei" (in the album Robinson) and Montecristo (in the Lp with the same name).

Angelo Branduardi, also a popular singer-songwriter, appears as musician in the LP.

Kingsley Chiedu Moghalu OON (born 7 May 1963) is a Nigerian political economist. He served as Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, appointed by President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua, from 2009 to 2014. He subsequently taught at Tufts University as Professor of Practice in International Business and Public Policy at The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy from 2015 to 2017. He was the presidential candidate of the Young Progressive Party (YPP) in the country's general election in February 2019.

Moghalu is the founder of Sogato Strategies LLC, a global investment advisory firm, and the president of the Institute for Governance and Economic Transformation (IGET), a public policy think tank. He is a Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the Council on Emerging Market Enterprises at the Fletcher School at Tufts University and has served as the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) Special Envoy on Post-Covid Development Finance for Africa.

He was the Oxford Martin Visiting Fellow at the University of Oxford for the Michaelmas term in 2021

Moghalu is the chairman of the board of directors of the Africa Private Sector Summit (APSS) and is a member of the Advisory Council of the Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum (OMFIF), a network of global asset management firms, sovereign wealth and pension funds.

Early life and education
Moghalu was born in Lagos in 1963 to Isaac Moghalu, a Nigerian foreign service officer and Vidah Moghalu, a school teacher. Moghalu spent his early childhood in Switzerland and Washington, DC, where his father was posted. Isaac Moghalu transferred his service back to Nigeria's Eastern Region as the country was rocked by a political and humanitarian crisis, and the family returned to Nigeria in April 1967.  The Eastern Region announced its secession from Nigeria the following month of May, and Moghalu and his family lived in his hometown of Nnewi, as well as Umuahia, the capital of the short-lived Republic of Biafra, during the civil war that lasted for two and a half years. In the 1970s Kingsley received his secondary school education at Eziama High School, Aba, Government College Umuahia, and Federal Government College Enugu. He earned a degree in law from the University of Nigeria in 1986, and the Barrister at Law from the Nigerian Law School, Lagos.

Moghalu obtained a Master of Arts degree in 1992, at The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, where he was the Joan Gillespie Fellow and a Research Assistant in the International Political Economy Program. He earned the International Certificate in Risk Management from the Institute of Risk Management (IRM) in London. Moghalu later obtained his Doctor of Philosophy degree in International Relations at the London School of Economics and Political Science in 2005 with a thesis entitled "Justice as policy and strategy: A study of the tension between political and juridical responses to violations of international humanitarian law". He received advanced executive education in macroeconomics and financial sector management, corporate governance, and global strategic leadership at the International Monetary Fund Institute, Columbia Business School, Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government, Harvard Business School, and the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

Career
Moghalu joined the United Nations in 1992. He served in political, legal, and external affairs assignments at duty stations in Cambodia, the United Nations headquarters in New York, Croatia, and Tanzania/ Rwanda. His first assignment was as a UN human rights and elections officer with the United Nations Transitional Authority. A year later, he was appointed political affairs officer in the department of peacekeeping operations at the UN Headquarters in New York. From 1996 to 1997, he served in the former Yugoslavia as political advisor to the special representative of the UN Secretary-General in Croatia. Kingsley was then assigned as legal adviser to the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (UNICTR) in Arusha, Tanzania, in 1997 and later promoted to the role of the international tribunal's spokesman. As special counsel and spokesman, he was responsible for policy development, strategic planning and external relations. The UNICTR delivered the first-ever judgement by an international court on genocide.

In 2002, Moghalu was appointed to the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland, as head of global partnerships and resource mobilization at The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM), a public-private international development finance organization and social investment fund with $20 billion in assets and investments in 140 developing and middle-income countries. He was a member of the Global Fund's senior management group that set corporate strategy, a member of the risk management committee, and was promoted to the rank of director in 2006.

In 2006, United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan appointed Moghalu as a member of the UN General Assembly-mandated Redesign Panel on the United Nations Internal Justice System. Working at the UN Headquarters in New York for six months in the first half of 2006, the Redesign Panel reviewed and made recommendations on how to improve the system of administration of justice at the United Nations.

The Governing Board of The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) in Geneva, Switzerland appointed Kingsley Moghalu, in 2017, as a member of its high level Independent Expert Group on Financing for Development. The Expert Group reviewed and made recommendations on how to better achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and effective domestic resource mobilization for development in developing countries.

Moghalu resigned from the United Nations in December 2008. He then founded Sogato Strategies S.A., a global strategy and risk consultancy, in Geneva.

Umaru Yar'Adua, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (2007–2010), appointed Moghalu deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria in November 2009. Moghalu was the deputy governor for Financial System Stability and supervised the execution of reforms in Nigeria’s banking sector after the global financial crisis of 2008. He also served as deputy governor for Operations, with supervisory responsibility for currency and branch operations, payment systems, and the management of Nigeria's foreign reserves of $37 billion. He led the rollout of payment systems reforms, including the development and introduction of  the unique identifier Bank Verification Number (BVN), that enabled the growth of a thriving Fintech industry.

Moghalu was a member of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), the Committee of Governors (CoG), and the Board of Directors of the CBN, and also served as a member and representative of the CBN in the Economic Management Team of president Goodluck Jonathan. He served as the Chairman of the Boards of Directors of the Nigerian Export-Import Bank (NEXIM) and the Financial Institutions Training Centre, and as a member of the boards of the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the Kuala Lumpur-based Alliance for Financial Inclusion (AFI). He also represented the CBN as a member of the Board Executive Committee of the International Islamic Liquidity Management Corporation, headquartered in Kuala Lumpur.

In 2014, Kingsley Moghalu delivered the Thomas Hodgkin Memorial Lecture at the University of Oxford.

On May 8, 2023 Moghalu delivered the 30th Anniversary Founders’ Day Lecture of the African Export-Import Bank Afreximbank at the Bank’s Headquarters in Cairo, Egypt.

Controversies
Moghalu's tenure at the CBN included the introduction of non-interest (Islamic) banking. This policy generated strong political controversy. Moghalu defended the decision to introduce Islamic banking explaining that this was one of several measures to expand financial inclusion and not, as many Christians in a country  with strong sectarian tensions erroneously believed, an Islamization agenda.

In early 2014, a disagreement of principle led to a temporary rupture in Moghalu's relationship with his former boss Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, who had been suspended by President Goodluck Jonathan. Sanusi had alleged a $20 billion fraud at the country's publicly owned oil corporation. Moghalu disagreed with the manner in which his erstwhile superior handled the sensitive controversy. He expressed frustration that Sanusi had overstepped his role as the head of the central bank and crossed into political activism, but emphasized his support for Sanusi's leadership in monetary policy.

The two men reconciled when, three years later, Sanusi, now the former Emir of Kano, received Moghalu with pomp and pageantry, along with the entire Emirate Council of Kano, when Moghalu visited him at his royal palace in Kano in November 2017. The Emir praised Moghalu's contributions to the successes of Sanusi's leadership team at the CBN, and stated that he had no regrets for having recommended Professor Moghalu to President Yar’Adua for appointment as a deputy governor of the central bank.

Political career
In February 2018, Moghalu announced his intention to run for the office of the President of Nigeria. He later chose to run on the party platform of the Young Progressives Party. As the presidential campaign wound down in February 2019, Wole Soyinka, the Nigerian born Nobel Laureate, issued a strong endorsement of Kingsley Moghalu to be elected Nigeria's president.

Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, then Emir of Kano, also endorsed Moghalu for President. Moghalu also received the strong endorsement of the Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi

Although Moghalu ultimately lost the election to Buhari, his candidacy, anchored on his manifesto "Build, Innovate and Grow" (BIG), had a strong appeal, and created a shift in Nigeria's political narrative towards the need for political and electoral reform. In October 2019, Moghalu resigned his membership of the YPP, announcing that he would focus in the immediate future on advocacy for electoral reform through the non-partisan citizens movement To Build a Nation (TBAN).. In December 2022, Moghalu announced that he had withdrawn completely from partisan politics in Nigeria and had returned to a professional life.

He wrote an essay, "Bretton Woods: The West and the Rest”  in the book Bretton Woods: The Next 70 Years (2015). He served as a member of the Editorial Board of Central Banking Journal.

Honours
Moghalu was decorated with the Nigerian National Honour of the Officer of the Order of the Nigerian (OON) by President Goodluck Jonathan. He was conferred with the degree of Doctor of Laws (LL.D.) Honoris Causa by Anambra State University, and is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (FCIB) and a Fellow of the Nigerian Academy of International Affairs. He is the recipient of the Rotary International Distinguished Service Award, and the "Against All Odds" Achievement Award of the African Women Economic Consortium. In 2019, following the general elections in Nigeria, the Federation of West African Freelance Journalists Association named Moghalu "Nigerian Political Icon of the Year" in what the association called "the Nigerian Political Achievers Hall of Fame".

On December 28, 2020, Moghalu was honoured with the conferment of the Nnewi traditional title of Ifekaego of Nnewi Kingdom by HRH Igwe Kenneth Onyeneke Orizu III.

Personal life
Moghalu married Maryanne Onyinyechi Moghalu, Nee Ezike, in 1994. They have five children.

John Carlton Gardiner (8 May 1881 – 3 April 1967) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Carlton and Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL). He then became a successful coach in the Tasmanian Football League.

Family
The son of John Gardiner, and Anna Gardiner, née Sidley, John Carlton Gardiner was born on 8 May 1881. Jack Gardiner was the third of four children in the family, with two older sisters and a younger brother, Vin Gardiner.

He married Florence Bucirde (1883–1946), in Hobart, on 20 November 1911.

Jack Gardiner died in Hobart in 1967, and is buried at Cornelian Bay Cemetery.

Football
Gardiner came from a football playing family with his father, John, a Carlton player during the 1870s. Vin Gardiner, his younger brother, also played at both Melbourne and Carlton.

His VFL career, spent mostly as a rover, began with two seasons at his father's club before switching to Melbourne in 1903. He kicked 24 goals in 1904 and was a regular in the Melbourne side until 1907.

The rover spent the 1908 season in Tasmania, as an umpire and coach of the TFL representative team. He returned to the mainland to coach Tasmania at the 1908 Melbourne Carnival and stopped umpiring after that year.

He resumed his playing career in 1909 when he joined Cananore as captain. His tenure included four TFL premierships, including three in a row from 1909 to 1911. Gardiner also captained the state at the 1911 Adelaide Carnival. Appointed Cananore captain-coach following the war, he steered them to more premierships in 1921 and 1922. His final port of call was North Hobart, with which he spent the 1924 and 1925 seasons at before retiring.

In 2005, Gardiner was one of the inaugural inductees into the Tasmanian Football Hall of Fame.

His son, Jack Jr, also played football and represented Tasmania as the state wicket-keeper in cricket.

Manuel of Portugal (c. 1568–22 June 1638) was the illegitimate son of António, Prior of Crato, pretender to the Portuguese throne during the 1580 Portuguese succession crisis. He secretly married in 1597 Countess Emilia of Nassau, daughter of William the Silent and Anna of Saxony.

Early life
Manuel was born in Tangier to Portuguese pretender António, Prior of Crato and one Anna Barbosa. Due to his religious office, António of Crato was not allowed to marry. After a failed attempt to gain the throne in 1580, António used to live in France and England. His son Manuel of Portugal is also known as Emanuel I, in his Dutch context.

Acclamation as prince
After the death of King Henry, his family's return to Portugal and his father's acclamation as king on 24 July 1580, Manuel chose to go by the title of prince of Portugal. However, his father's reign was short and troubled. He lost his title to King Philip II of Spain at the Battle of Alcântra. After hearing about this defeat, Manuel and his father fled to Coimbra to avoid imprisonment, and gathered six thousand men to face the Spanish troops once again. They were once more defeated. With no options left, Manuel and his father were forced to hide in monasteries and friends' houses until they fled to France with the rest of the family. Before, António went to England, asking for Queen Elizabeth I's support, which was granted, but the English troops never arrived to Portugal due to a bout of plague that killed most of the soldiers. Despite everything, António was still acclaimed as king in Azores until the Spanish troops arrived in 1583.

Family

First marriage

On 7 November 1597, Manuel wed Countess Emilia of Nassau (1569–1629), a daughter of William I, Prince of Orange and Princess Anna of Saxony. The bride's family were prominent representatives of Calvinism in Europe while the groom was Roman Catholic. Their families opposed the marriage but this did not prevent the couple from being secretly married by a Roman Catholic priest. Consequently, Manuel was forced to flee to Wesel, Germany. Emilia – initially under house detention – was able to follow him in December 1597. The following children were issued from this marriage:

Maria Belgica (born before 12 October 1598; died 28 July 1647), married in June 1629 to Colonel Theodor Croll (died 1640 in Venice [murdered]), Quartermaster general of Duke Odoardo Farnese, Duke of Parma,
Manuel António (born 24 February 1600 in Delft; died 27 October 1666 in Schagen), married Johanna of Hanau-Münzenberg; two daughters,
 Emilia Louise (born June 1603 in Delft; died 29 October 1670), unmarried,
 Christopher William Louis (1604–7 July 1660); a military person, commander of the guards of Maurice of Nassau in 1624, Knight of Malta, married to Donna Anna Maria di Capece-Galeoti de Monteleone.
 Anna Louise (born before 3 May 1605; died 5 April 1669), unmarried,
 Juliana Catherine (c. 1607–22 June 1680), unmarried,
 Mauritia Eleonora (born before 10 May 1609; died 25 June 1674), married Count George Frederick of Nassau-Siegen on 4 June 1647 in The Hague; no children.
 Sabina Delphica (1612–20 July 1670), unmarried.

Because of the circumstances of the wedding, Manuel and Emilia used to live in a permanent shortage of money during the first years of their marriage. Only in 1608, Philip William, Prince of Orange was able to arrange the reconciliation of Manuel and Emilia on the one hand and Maurice of Nassau, stadtholder of the United Provinces of the Netherlands, on the other hand. The couple was granted a pension and residences. Life at the stadtholder's court was not easy for them since the Catholic Manuel was shunned by the local society. Therefore, he started secret negotiations with the stewards of the Catholic Spanish Netherlands, the infanta Isabella Clara Eugenia and her husband Albert VII, Archduke of Austria, who promised them a higher apanage than House Orange was paying. After the death of Maurice, when the tensions between his successor Frederick Henry and Manuel were increasing, the latter went to Brussels. His wife who saw Isabella's father king Philip II of Spain as the driving force behind the assassination of her own father decided not to follow Manuel and moved to Geneva together with her daughters where she died in 1629.

The fate of this family was moreover overshadowed by a scandal. The first daughter Maria Belgica was originally meant to marry a Margrave of Baden but rather she escaped with the margrave's Colonel Theodor Croll – a fact that reduced the chances to marriage of her sisters to a minimum at the times. Eleonora Mauritia became the only exception.

Second marriage
After the death of his first wife, Manuel married for a second time, on 3 April 1630 in Brussels. His bride Luísa Osório was a lady-in-waiting of Isabella. The two of them held prominent positions at Isabella's court.

Death
Manuel died on 22 June 1638 in Brussels and was buried there. He was survived by his second wife.
