OCS, or previously known as Orange Cinéma Séries, is a group of French pay television networks dedicated to films and series owned and operated by Orange S.A.

The channels launched on November 13, 2008, as part of the company's new direct-to-home satellite service and was exclusive to Orange TV.

OCS is composed of three channels and a streaming service. OCS broadcast almost all their series in English with French subtitles in simulcast with the American broadcasting, but they also broadcast series dubbed in French or French series. From November 2008 to December 2022, OCS was holding the French rights to HBO production.

Since 2012, OCS TV package is now available from Bouygues Telecom, CanalSat, Numericable, Orange TV, SFR and Tahiti Nui Satellite. All subscribers have the option to subscribe to OCS with their TV distributor. OCS is also available through multi devices.

History
On 25 November 2011, Canal+ took a 33% share in Orange Cinéma Séries. Originally exclusive to La TV d'Orange, Orange Cinéma Séries joined CanalSat on 5 April 2012. On 22 September 2012, Orange Cinéma Séries became OCS to show its expansion bouquets other than Orange TV.

On 10 October 2013, OCS Happy was merged with OCS Max; OCS à la demande became the multiplatform service OCS Go; and OCS Novo was replaced by OCS City, specialised in TV series and HBO productions.

Since 2008, OCS have an exclusive contract with HBO, but other channels like Canal+ Séries can broadcasts reruns of HBO series. In 2017, OCS's contract with HBO became stricter, giving complete exclusivity to OCS.

The suite also includes a streaming service, OCS Go, who simply became OCS in 2019. Content is provided by exclusive contracts with Warner Bros., HBO, MGM and Fidelity as well as non-exclusive contracts with Gaumont, SND, BAC and Wild Side.

On 2 August 2017, OCS was launched in Switzerland on Teleclub Premium. It is also available on the Ciné-Séries bouquet of Canal+ since March 2019.

In December 2022, OCS deal with HBO ended with HBO productions leaving OCS from January 2023 onwards. Following that, OCS closed OCS City, the channel that was in charge of HBO programs, and merged it with OCS Choc to create OCS Pulp.

On January 8, 2023, Canal+ Group has announced they're acquiring both OCS and its production house, Orange Studio, which Canal+ previously owned the minority stake on Orange's pay TV arm and film division.

Plot
A low born Roman Catholic Hungarian girl from a big family lives in poverty. She met and married a rich Jewish man, Mr Rozsnyai and they established a famous elite night club in 1931.

The world war changed everything. Their son committed suicide. After the German occupation of Hungary in March 1944, Mr Rozsnyai hid away but he was found and taken away by some corrupt Gestapo officers. Ms Rozsnyai tried to intercede, but was told that there was nothing they could do for her.

Mrs Rozsnyai then turned to her exdaughter-in-law, "La Belle" Márta Mázik, who in the meantime had a relationship with a German officer named Wilhelm. La Belle Marta promised to do his best and she went back to Ms Rozsnyai with the news that one of Wilhelm's friends could intervene on her behalf. He asked her to prepare her jewelry and valuables and get into the car that the Germans were sending, so she would be in a safe place with her husband. The car arrived at the agreed time, and Mrs Rozsnyai entered it. She was never seen alive again...

Critical reception
Dan Pavlides of All Movie Guide said that the film had "uneven editing in places suggests that a lot of film ended up on the cutting-room floor."

Thomas Edgar Rees (22 August 1904 – 10 November 1968) was a Welsh rugby union, and professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1920s and 1930s. He played representative level rugby union (RU) for Wales, and at club level for Pontyclun RFC, Crawshays RFC, Army XV and London Welsh RFC, as a fullback and representative level rugby league (RL) for Great Britain, and at club level for Oldham and Broughton Rangers as a .

Background
Tommy Rees was born in Pontyclun, Wales, and he died aged 64 in Oldham, Lancashire, England.

Rugby union career
Rees was born in Pontyclun in South Wales and as a teenager played rugby for local club team Pontyclun RFC. Jack Meggins, a local headmaster from Talbot Green, saw potential in Rees and recommended him in writing to invitational team Crawshays. Crawshays accepted Rees, the first notable team in his career. Rees joined the British Army and became a soldier in the Welsh Guards, and while serving in the Guards he was selected for the Army XV.

In 1926, Rees was playing for Welsh exile team London Welsh, and after an excellent victory against Cross Keys at Blackheath on 6 March, Rees along with teammates Windsor Lewis and Wick Powell, was selected to face Ireland as part of the 1926 Five Nations Championship. The game was played at St. Helen's, Swansea, with the Welsh team being led by Swansea's Rowe Harding. The Wales team were victorious over Ireland, robbing the Irish of both the Triple Crown and Grand Slam. Rees scored his first international points during the game with a single conversion, and at the end of the match, the three London Welsh players were carried from the pitch shoulder-high. The press recorded that Rees had "a great game that caused intense enthusiasm". Rees was reselected for the next Wales international, the final game of the 1926 tournament, away to France. Now captained by Bobby Delahay, Wales won the game 7–5.

On Christmas Eve 1926, Rees was playing for London Welsh away to Cross Keys. In the first few minutes of the second half, while attempting a tackle, Rees broke his leg. Rees had been a certainty for the 1927 Championship, and after his injury his place was taken by Ossie Male. The next season, Rees was back in the Wales team, and was chosen to face the New South Wales Waratahs at the Cardiff Arms Park. Wales were well beaten, though Rees scored for Wales with another conversion. The selectors kept faith with Rees, and he played his final union international in the opening game of the 1928 tournament, played at Swansea against England.

In 1928 while only 23, Rees decide to switch to the professional league code, and 'Went North', joining Oldham RLFC. Rees had an eleven-year career with Oldham setting many club records, including kicking 668 goals and playing 121 consecutive first team games. In 1939, towards the end of his club career, Rees joined Broughton Rangers though the outbreak of the Second World War ended the playing of professional rugby. He continued to be involved in rugby after his retirement, becoming a rugby league referee. In 1947 he became a rugby league referee and later ran the line as a touch judge in the final of the Rugby League Challenge Cup at Wembley. He was a lifelong committee man, and served Oldham until ill-health forced his retirement. Tommy Rees is one of less than twenty-five Welshmen to have scored more than 1000-points in their rugby league career. Tom Rees won a single cap for Great Britain while at Oldham in 1929 against Australia.

The Philadelphia Bourse was a commodities exchange founded in 1891 by George E. Bartol, a grain and commodities exporter, who modeled it after the Bourse in Hamburg, Germany. The steel-framed building – one of the first to be constructed – was built from 1893 to 1895, and was designed by G. W. & W. D. Hewitt in the Beaux-Arts style.  Carlisle redstone, Pompeian buff brick and terra cotta were all used in the facade.  The building was sold in 1979 to Kaiserman Company and underwent extensive renovations, bringing the internal usable surface to approximately 286,000 square feet (26,000 square meters). In 2016, MRP Realty took ownership of the building and spent $40 million renovating it. MRP Realty owns the building as part of a three-building collection named The Independence Portfolio, which also includes 325 Chestnut and 400 Market Street—both located within a block of The Bourse. The building is home to nine floors of office space which includes a Mexican Consulate. There is also a food hall on the first floor which opened on 15 November 2018.

History

Upon his return from a European trip in 1890, Bartol organized the Philadelphia business community. He asked each new member to pledge $1,000 to the project. The Bourse motto was "Buy, Sell, Ship via Philadelphia."

The Bourse stopped functioning as a commodities exchange in the 1960s. The structure continued to serve as an office building until 1979, when it was sold and renovated to include upscale retail space on floors near the street level. The upper levels of the building continued to house office space.  A movie theater specializing in independent films, The Ritz at the Bourse, sits across the street at 4th and Ranstead streets.

In 2018, a two-year rehabilitation created a brand new food hall with 30 vendors.

The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Today
After a two-year rehabilitation, The Bourse reopened as a modern food hall with 30 vendors in November, 2018.  The food hall is open seven days a week and features foods from around the world as well as local specialties like the cheesesteak.

The XY Company also known as the New North West Company was a joint-stock fur trading enterprise  based in Montreal that conducted business chiefly in the Canadian Northwest between 1798 and 1804. It was established in opposition to the North West Company, whose employees called it the Little Company and the Potties.

Background
In 1795 some partners withdrew from the North West Company and began to trade on their own through the firm of Forsyth, Richardson & Company which already was engaged in the trade around Lake Superior. At the same time, an agreement was made between  on the one hand McTavish, Frobisher & Company and on the other hand Alexander Mackenzie as agent and attorney of Angus Shaw, Roderick McKenzie, Cuthbert Grant, Alexander McLeod and William Thornburn, to begin independent trading operations in 1799 and continue with these until 1805. Due to the animosity that arose between Simon McTavish and Alexander McKenzie this agreement was superseded in 1798 when new partners were admitted and others retired.

Foundation
After the Jay Treaty of 1794, Britain evacuated its military posts at Michilimackinac and Detroit which meant that Canadian firms operating on United States territory had to leave, either to dissolved or to compete with the North West Company north of the international border, west of Lake Superior. The XY Company was founded in 1798 when the Forsyth, Richardson & Company (which was a subsidiary of the London firm of Phyn, Ellis & Company) and Leith, Jamieson & Company of Detroit united in order to increase its competitive advantage against the North West Company. It was invigorated when John Ogilvy and John Mure entered the company in 1800 and Alexander Mackenzie joined in 1802.

Operations

From its beginning, the XY Company contested the North West Company dominance in the Canadian Northwest. Its robust financial support made it possible to open competing fur trading posts on the Red River, at Rainy Lake and Bas de la Rivière Winnipic and many other sites in close vicinity to already existing North West Company posts.

In 1801 the XY Company had posts on the Saskatchewan, in 1803 on the Great Bear Lake, and the same year posts were established on the Peace and the Swan rivers. When the North West Company in 1802 moved its rendezvous from Grand Portage to Kaministiquia, the XY Company followed in 1804. The company then also had a trading fort at Qu'Appelle River and a winter post at Fishing Lake. The XY Company also had a post at Fort Charlotte, by the Pigeon River at the upper end of the portage from Lake Superior. In the North-Western Territory, the XY Company built posts in the immediate vicinity of those of the North West Company; depots near Fort Chipewyan, the posts at the Great Slave Lake, Fort Liard on the Mackenzie River, and at Great Bear Lake. In the Peace River are the XY Company estqablished four posts. It also had depots at Île-à-la-Crosse and Green Lake.

The rivalry between North West Company and XY Company led to an increased use of hard liquor as a competitive means. North West Company increased its use of rum and other spirits from 10,000 gallons in 1799 to 16,000 in 1803. North West Company's average use of hard liquor 1802-1804 was 14,400 gallons, while the average for the XY Company during the same period was 5,000 gallons. Soon both companies were losing money, important fur trading areas became depleted and relations with the First Nations were impaired.

The often close proximity of North West Company's and XY Company's post led to violent interactions between clerks and servants of the companies. In August 1802, a clerk of the XY Company shot and killed a clerk of the North West Company after the latter attempted to steal his furs. The killer was indicted for murder in Montreal, but he was set free as the court had doubt about its jurisdiction; the act having taken place at Fort de l'Isle on the North Saskatchewan River.

Merger
In 1803, Alexander Mackenzie reorganized the company as a partnership under the name Sir Alexander Mackenzie & Company, but it was nevertheless mostly called the XY Company. The vehement contest with the North West Company for market shares caused instability in the fur-producing regions and decreased revenue for both companies. In order to end the competition, thereby increasing profit, the two companies merged in 1804 with the North West Company absorbing the XY Company. The XY Company becoming a part owner receiving 25 of the reconstructed North West Company's 100 shares. Yet, McTavish, Frobisher & Company continued as the only agent of the North West Company, and Alexander McKenzie was barred from any engagement in the fur trade. Increased profitability after the merger was reached, among other measures, by lowering the salaries of the clerks.

In People vs Freeman of 1988, the California Supreme Court stated that adult film production was to be protected as free speech under the First Amendment. They ruled that since such films did not include obscene images and indecency, and stayed within society's standards, the adult film industry should be granted the freedom of speech. Escaping highly regulated government intervention, regulation in the adult film industry has been limited to preventing child pornography. In the United States Code of Regulations, under title Title 18, Section 2257, no performers under the age of 18 are allowed to be employed by adult industry production companies. Failure to abide by this regulation results in civil and criminal prosecutions. To enforce the age entry restriction, all adult industry production companies are required to have a Custodian of Records that documents and holds records of the ages of all performers.

2257 regulations

The Child Protection and Obscenity Enforcement Act of 1988 (Pub. L. 100–690, title VII, subtitle N (§7501 ), November 18, 1988, 102 Stat. 4485,  et seq.) is a United States Act of Congress, and part of the United States Code, which places stringent record-keeping requirements on the producers of actual, sexually explicit materials. The guidelines for enforcing these laws (colloquially known as 2257 Regulations (C.F.R. Part 75), part of the United States Code of Federal Regulations, require producers of sexually explicit material to obtain proof of age for every model they shoot, and retain those records. Federal inspectors may at any time launch inspections of these records and prosecute any infraction.

While the statute seemingly excluded from these record-keeping requirements anyone who is involved in an activity that "does not involve hiring, contracting for, managing, or otherwise arranging for, the participation of the performers depicted," the Department of Justice (DOJ) defined an entirely new class of producers known as "secondary producers." According to the DOJ, a secondary producer is anyone who "publishes, reproduces, or reissues" explicit material.

On October 23, 2007, the 6th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that the record-keeping requirements were facially invalid because they imposed an overbroad burden on legitimate, constitutionally protected speech. However, the US DoJ, then under the control of Attorney General Michael Mukasey, asked for, and was granted, an  review of the initial decision of the 6th Circuit Court in order to see if the initial decision should be overturned. The Sixth Circuit subsequently reheard the case en banc and issued an opinion on February 20, 2009, upholding the constitutionality of the record-keeping requirements, albeit with some dissents.

The United States Supreme Court refused to hear (denied certiorari to) the April 2009 challenge to Connection Distributing Co. v. Holder, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals decision on the legality of 2257 and its enforcement. (See "Order List", Monday, October 5, 2009).

Extreme pornography

Extreme pornography is a term introduced by the UK Government in Part 5, Section 63 of the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008, which made possession of such images a criminal offense from 26 January 2009. It refers to pornography (defined as an image which "of such a nature that it must reasonably be assumed to have been produced solely or principally for the purpose of sexual arousal") which is "grossly offensive, disgusting or otherwise of an obscene character", and portrays any of the following:

such as a reasonable person looking at the image would think that any such person or animal was real.

The term covers staged acts and applies whether or not the participants consent. Classified works are exempt, but an extract from a classified work, if the image was extracted for the purpose of sexual arousal, would not be exempt. Whether an image is "pornographic" or not is up to the magistrate or jury to determine simply by looking at the image; it is not a question of the intentions of those who produced the image. If an image is held in a person's possession as part of a larger series of images, the question of whether it is pornographic is also determined by the context in which it appears. Therefore, an image might be legal in some contexts, but not in other contexts. Serious injury is not defined by the act but is up to the magistrate or jury. The bill gives examples of acts that would be covered: depictions of hanging, suffocation, or sexual assault involving a threat with a weapon; the insertion of sharp objects into or the mutilation of breasts or genitals.

The definition of "obscene" is not the same as that used in the Obscene Publications Acts, which requires that an image "deprave and corrupt" those likely to view it; instead, this is the ordinary dictionary definition of "obscene". "Grossly offensive" and "disgusting" are given as examples of "obscene".

There is a defense for the defendant if he can prove that he "directly participated" in the act, and where the participants consented, but only if the acts are those that can be legally consented to in the UK (see Operation Spanner). This defense is also not available to the photographer, or other "onlookers" who were present, but did not directly participate.

Where (a) or (b) apply, the maximum sentence is 3 years; otherwise, the maximum is 2 years. Adults sentenced to at least two years will be placed on the Violent and Sex Offender Register.

As a specific technical term, it appears to have been introduced in England following the death of Jane Longhurst in 2003 caused by Graham Coutts who was obsessed with such depictions downloaded from websites dedicated to such content.

Court Cases
The First Amendment in the United States Constitution guarantees freedom of speech. However, this does not apply to obscene materials. The 1957 Supreme Court decision defined obscenity in order to implement censorship. The following set of criteria was established by Roth v. United States in 1957 to measure obscenity.
1. The dominant theme of the work as a whole must appeal to prurient interest in sex.
2. The work must be patently offensive to contemporary community standards.
3. The work must be without serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.

Determining what materials contain obscenity remains highly subjective. However, community standards determine what constitutes obscenity. The standards vary tremendously from state to state.
Some examples of obscenity cases are the Miller v. California of 1973 and Hicks v. Miranda of 1975.

Internet pornography

Due to the international nature of the Internet, Internet pornography carries with it special issues with regard to the law. There is no one set of laws that apply to the distribution, purchase, or possession of Internet pornography. Only the laws of one's home nation apply with regard to distributing or possessing Internet pornography. This means that, for example, even if a pornographer is legally distributing pornography, the person receiving it may not be legally doing so due to local laws.

Some areas of legal concern regarding adult pornography are:
 Prohibiting certain or all types of pornography that are illegal within a government's jurisdiction. For countries that do not prohibit all pornography, this might include pornography featuring violence or bestiality, for example.
 Preventing those under the legal age (for most this means a minor under 18) from accessing pornographic content.
 Enforcing laws designed to ensure that performers in pornography are of legal age.

In jurisdictions that heavily restrict access or outright ban pornography, various attempts have been made to prevent access to pornographic content. The mandating of Internet filters to try preventing access to porn sites has been used in some nations such as China and Saudi Arabia. Banning porn sites within a nation's jurisdiction does not necessarily prevent access to that site, as it may simply relocate to a hosting server within another country that does not prohibit the content it offers. The United Kingdom's Digital Economy Act 2017 includes powers to require age-verification for pornographic Internet sites and the government accepted an amendment to allow the regulator to require ISPs to block access to non-compliant sites. As the BBFC are expected to become the regulator, this has caused discussion about ISPs being required to block content that is prohibited even under an R18 certificate, the prohibition of some of which is itself controversial.

Many nations that allow at least some types of pornography attempt to ensure that those under their legal age for accessing pornography (often 18 or 21) cannot easily access it. Various measures have been tried but with varying success. Within the United States, most websites have taken voluntary steps to ensure that visitors to their sites are not underage, although there is no federal law demanding such a policy. Many Web sites provide a warning upon entry, warning minors and those not interested in viewing porn not to view the site, and requiring one to affirm that one is at least 18 and wishing to view pornographic content. Such warnings are at times used with other techniques, specifically on commercial and premium streaming sites. Commercial pornography websites generally restrict access to any pornographic content until a membership has been purchased using a credit card. This serves as both a way to collect payment and an age verification method since credit cards are usually not issued to minors. Age verification services have also appeared offering access to any Web site that participates in their program without additional charge. The users need only verify their age with the verification service, which then issues a username and password that can access all sites that use its services. Most age verification sites charge either a monthly or yearly fee to those wanting access to participating sites.

Within nations that allow at least some types of pornography, models are often required to be at least a specific age (18 is most common). Various nations have various rules as to how a site must ensure that all porn models featured on it are of age such as strict record-keeping laws.

Safe Sex Practices

In response to an actress who tested positive to HIV in 1998, the Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation was started. After AIM's procedures were followed, the company found four more women infected with HIV. Since then, AIM has created services and programs such as STD testing and treatment, hepatitis vaccinations, alcohol and drug treatment, prevention education, "life after porn" scholarships, medical check up and group counseling

Siegfried Wilhelm (von) Dehn (24 or 25 February 1799 – 12 April 1858) was a German music theorist, editor, teacher and librarian.

Born in Altona, Dehn was the son of a banker and learned to play the cello as a boy. Intent on becoming a diplomat, he studied law in Leipzig but also took music lessons from J. A. Dröbs. While attached to the Swedish embassy in Berlin, Dehn developed an interest in musical research, studying with Bernhard Klein. He was left destitute by the failure of the family bank in 1830 and decided to devote himself to music; he soon became known and respected widely as a musical theorist and teacher.

In 1842, composer Giacomo Meyerbeer recommended Dehn to fill the post of custodian of the Prussian royal library. Dehn threw himself into cataloging the collection, bringing it into order and adding to it copiously from libraries all over Prussia. Among the collections he amassed were those of Anton Schindler and Georg Pölchau; the latter was especially notable for its manuscripts by Johann Sebastian Bach and Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. Dehn was also editor of Cäcilia from 1842 to 1848 and professor of the Royal Academy of the Arts from 1849. On the death of Friedrich Konrad Griepenkerl in 1849, Dehn helped edit J.S. Bach's instrumental music for the Peters Edition. He was responsible for, among other works, the first publishing of the Brandenburg concertos. He also edited a large number of Lassus motets.

Dehn was widely respected as a teacher. His students included Albert Becker, Ludwig Bussler, Peter Cornelius, Mikhail Glinka, Heinrich Hofmann, Gustav Nottebohm, and Anton Rubinstein.

He died in Berlin.

Big Deal After 20 Years () is a 1985 Italian comedy film directed by Amanzio Todini. It is the sequel to Big Deal on Madonna Street and Audace colpo dei soliti ignoti.

Plot
After several years spent in prison for a hit gone wrong, Tiberio is released to find a profoundly changed Rome. He goes home to find his wife Teresa now living with a house painter who pays her rent in exchange for his wife's "company." When he tries to retrieve his camera equipment, with which he hopes to begin a new career, he learns that Teresa sold it to pay for his lawyer. When he attempts to reconcile with his wife, he is brutally thrown out of the house by her new man. Tiberio sleeps inside an abandoned car in the junkyard in front of his old house.

Meanwhile, Tiberio's adult son Brunino has returned from Milan and immediately interrupts his father's outdated robbery attempts. Now fully resigned to resuming his old business, Tiberio goes to visit his old friend Ferribotte, now working at a gas station, to ask him where to find Peppe il Pantera. There he also meets Augusto Cruciani, son of Dante Cruciani who twenty years earlier had instructed Tiberio and his gang on the methods of breaking into a safe. Augusto is an accomplice of Ferribotte in the stolen medicine trade. Tiberio attempts to find a place in Peppe's new moneymaking scheme of transferring money from Yugoslavia on behalf of Don Vincenzo or "the Banker." He is rejected due to the need for a middle aged woman to play the part. In a desperate attempt to be included, Tiberio shows up dressed as a woman. After discovering the disguise, Peppe bursts into wild laughter which, due to his advanced age, induces a light heart attack and subsequent hospitalization with Augusto as his caretaker.

In his guilt over his friend's sickness, Tiberio decides to take over for Peppe and lead the operation. He enlists Augusto to supply the house in Tivoli, the car they will drive across the border, and Augusto's mother-in-law Marisa and her newborn baby. He recruits Brunino to help with the driving and Ferribotte who intends to start a new life away from his demanding sister. The group sets off for Trieste where they have an appointment with some Northerners to pick up the money to take across the border. After a series of difficulties, including the disappearance of Marisa and the arrival of the baby's father who threatens to give the police their license plate number, they finally arrive in Trieste. At the border, they evade detection by border police thanks to Brunino's cunning in hiding the money. After delivering the money, they are told to wait until the afternoon to get back on the road.

While in Yugoslavia, Brunina, who had struggled with his lack of sexual interest, and Marisa fall in love. During the trip back to Italy, Tiberio realizes that the seat of their vehicle has been changed. After dropping Brunino and Marisa at the bus station Tiberio and Ferribotte discover cocaine hidden under the seat. They are met by the Banker, who leaves them their money and takes the vehicle with the drugs. Tiberio is furious as he realizes that they were actually meant to deliver drugs not money. As Tiberio and Ferribotte return to Rome by train, the bus with drugs is stopped by the carabinieri. The driver tries to escape but is shot, while the Banker gets away in another car leaving the drugs behind. Back on the train, Tiberio and Ferribotte reminisce about the old days (with scenes from Big Deal on Madonna Street) and express regret at some of their past misdeeds. They eventually decide to leave Rome as they realize it has changed far too much for them to stay. They retire to a small town outside the city where they spend the rest of their lives in peace.

At Peppe's birthday party, Tiberio, Ferribotte and Peppe celebrate the success of the operation. Just as Peppe expresses his happiness, one of the traffickers shows up and shoots him dead.

St Paul's is a Church of England church in the Georgian St Paul's Square in the Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham, England.

History

The Grade I listed church was designed by Roger Eykyn of Wolverhampton. Building started in 1777, and the church was consecrated in 1779. It was built on land given by Charles Colmore from his Newhall estate. It was the church of Birmingham's early manufacturers and merchants - Matthew Boulton and James Watt had their own pews, which were bought and sold as commodities at that time.

It is a rectangular church. The upper part of the tower and spire was added between 1822 and 1823, designed by Francis Goodwin and built by Standbridge and Company.

In 1841 the church became a parish in its own right, with land taken from that of St Martin in the Bull Ring. In 1947, St Mark's Church, King Edward's Road was demolished, and the parish was joined with that of St Paul's.

Bomb damage from the Second World War was repaired between 1949 and 1951 when much of the roof was replaced. The church undertook another restoration between 1985 and 1994. A peal of 10 bells was installed in 2005.

Stained glass
The east window has an important enamelled stained-glass window made in 1791 by Francis Eginton and modelled an altarpiece painted c. 1786 by Benjamin West, now in the Dallas Museum of Art. It shows the Conversion of Paul.

In the south-east nave there is a window by Ward and Hughes of c. 1880. The remaining windows are by Pearce between 1900 and 1907, and a modern window by Rachel Thomas in the north aisle dating from 2000.

Organ

The first documented organ in St Paul's was built in 1830 by James Bishop. It was sited on the gallery at the west end of the church. Banfield enlarged the organ in 1838 including a new Swell division which was probably a replacement for Bishop's Swell rather than an addition. Bevington and Sons rebuilt and enlarged the organ in 1871 and again worked on it in 1897.

The organ was moved to its present location in 1927 by Conacher Sheffield & Co. and was extensively rebuilt. However, the organ case could not be accommodated in its new position unaltered. The wings had to be removed and are now joined to serve as the screen facing the north gallery, along with some recycled pew doors. The side towers could not fit between the mouldings on the north arcade bases, so the entire case-front was raised so that the corbels of the side towers cleared the mouldings. This caused the side-tower cornices to conflict with the arcade capitals, so the cornices were removed.

Following war damage and the resulting weather-related damage, the organ was noted to be in a poor state by 1953, notably the Choir division was completely 'bombed out'. Hill, Norman & Beard remodelled the organ as a two manual and pedal instrument in 1964. This is the organ present today albeit with some additions to the piston system added in 1996. There are a mixture of mechanical and electro-pneumatic actions and soundboards of differing compasses. The pipework consists of some of the original Bishop ranks, some second hand pipework from Hill Norman & Beard's stock in 1964 and one partly new stop – the Great Stopped Diapason.

The Minato Bridge is a double-deck cantilever truss bridge in Osaka, Japan; upper deck is for Hanshin Expressway Route 16 Osakako Line, and lower deck is Route 5 Bayshore Line.  It opened in 1974.  It is the third-longest cantilever truss span in the world, behind the Quebec Bridge and the Forth Bridge.

Designs including arch and suspension elements were eliminated from consideration due to poor subsoil conditions of alternating layers of clay and gravel.  Instead, the designers selected a cantilever structure using high-strength steel, to reduce mass.

Kenneth E. deGraffenreid retired in 2012 from his position as Professor of Intelligence Studies at The Institute of World Politics, where he taught since the graduate school's first summer session in 1992. He is now a professor emeritus at the IWP. Numerous published sources indicate that deGraffenreid has been involved in the highest echelons of the United States Intelligence Community: a 2004 article in The New Yorker mentioned that he was responsible for all Department of Defense "Special Access Programs" (SAPs).  He is recognized as a leading authority in intelligence, foreign propaganda, information warfare, and counterintelligence. He was an early pioneer in the academic sub-discipline of intelligence studies which was in its nascency when he began teaching in 1992.

Education
deGraffenreid graduated from Purdue University in 1967, and earned an M.A. in National Security Studies and International Relations from the Catholic University of America. He started, but did not finish, work for a PhD degree. However, he did receive an honorary doctorate from the Institute of World Politics in Washington, DC in 2014.

Professional life

For ten years deGraffenreid served in the U.S. Navy as a naval aviator and intelligence officer.  Prior to his retirement as a captain in the Naval Reserve he was assigned to the Executive Panel of the Chief of Naval Operations.

deGraffenreid served as a Special Project Director with the National Strategy Information Center, a public policy institution dedicated to improving educational efforts in the field of national security.

For four years, deGraffenreid served on the professional minority staff of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence where he had responsibilities related to national intelligence activities and programs.  He did legislative work and conducted a study of the security implications of Soviet intelligence activities directed at U.S. arms control monitoring capabilities.  Following the election of President Reagan in 1980 he participated on the transition team at the Central Intelligence Agency and in drafting the new administration's program for intelligence reform.

deGraffenreid was senior director of Intelligence Programs at the National Security Council from 1981 to 1987.  In that capacity he served as special assistant to the president for national security affairs.  He also assisted the president's national security advisor in evaluating and coordinating intelligence, counterintelligence, security countermeasures, space policy, arms control, strategic nuclear, and command, control and communication issues coming before the president and the National Security Council.

For three years he was a senior vice president with JAYCOR, a California-based research, development, and systems engineering firm.  At the firm's Virginia office he led the Strategic Programs and Analysis Group, a 180-person group working in the areas of intelligence, security, verification, counter-proliferation, strategic offensive and defensive analysis, operations security, and special operations.

From 1994 to 1999 deGraffenreid was senior associate and then vice president of National Security Research, Inc., where he was responsible for national-level U.S. intelligence and counterintelligence policies and programs, and security programs for protecting U.S. Government and commercial strategic information and operations.

For two years he was also vice president of  policy-analysis firm National Security Concepts based in the Washington, D.C., area.  He directed intelligence and defense policy and program analysis in projects ranging from missile defense support to information warfare to specialized security programs.

From 2001 to 2004 deGraffenreid was the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Support in the Department of Defense and, from 2004 to 2005, he served as Deputy National Counterintelligence Executive to the NCIX Michelle van Cleave (who also lectured at The Institute of World Politics for many years).

He was also a senior fellow at the International Assessment and Strategy Center.

At the Institute of World Politics, he taught a number of courses during his tenure (1992–2012) including: Strategic Information Warfare (which was one of the first unclassified courses to be taught on this subject on any American campus when he first offered it in 1996), American Counterintelligence and Security for the 21st Century, American Intelligence and Protective Security: An Advanced Seminar, Intelligence and Policy, Intelligence Collection, and Introduction to Intelligence. He was also one of the founding faculty members and board members of the institute.

deGraffenreid served on the board of directors of the OPSEC Professionals Society and Center for Security Policy in Washington, D.C., and on the advisory board for the master's degree in Intelligence offered by the New York Institute of Technology.

He has contributed op-eds to various newspapers including The Washington Post, and chapters to various books, including Intelligence Requirements in the 1990s, and he edited the public version of the Cox Report concerning espionage by the People's Republic of China. He was also a frequent guest commentator on television programs including ABC's Nightline, PBS's MacNeil-Lehrer Newshour, CNN's Crossfire, and the Fox News Channel.

Personal life

A native of the Chicago area, deGraffenreid is the father of two children and lived near Annapolis, Maryland until his retirement move to Maine.

The Communauté de communes des Vosges Méridionales (before 2009: Communauté de communes des Trois Rivières) is a former administrative association of rural communes in the Vosges département of eastern France and in the region of Lorraine. It was created in December 1996. It was merged into the new Communauté de communes de la Porte des Vosges Méridionales in January 2017.

The association had its administrative offices at Le Val-d'Ajol.

Composition
The Communauté de communes comprised the following communes:
Le Val-d'Ajol
Plombières-les-Bains
Girmont-Val-d'Ajol

The grouping originally took its name from three small rivers:
 The Semouse (a 41 km long river which crosses the commune of Plombières-les-Bains at the hamlet of Ruaux)
 The Augronne (a 29 km long river which flows through the centre of Plombières-les-Bains)
 The Combeauté (a 37 km long river which has its source at Girmont-Val-d'Ajol and crosses Le Val-d'Ajol)

Jim Kane (February 2, 1937 – January 28, 2003) was a Nebraska high school football, basketball, track and cross country coach, and was named the state’s “Coach of the Year” in 1983, and was posthumously named to the state’s High School Hall of Fame.

Jim “Killer” Kane was born in West Point, Nebraska; but he grew up in Wisner, Nebraska, where Jim became an athlete.  He remains the Wisner High School all-time leader in points scored in basketball, and led the school’s baseball team to a state championship.  In 1980, Nebraska sports historian Jerry Mathers named Kane as Wisner's best all around athlete ever.

After graduating in 1954, he attended the University of Nebraska and played for the Cornhuskers’ baseball team.  He earned All-Big Seven Conference recognition as a catcher in 1957 and 1958 before signing with the New York Yankees. Kane played three years in their farm system, but failed to make it to the major leagues because of the presence of Yogi Berra and Elston Howard on the parent squad.

Kane was part of a successful pitcher/catcher combination with childhood friend Charles Ziegenbein.  They played together through grade school, high school (it was their battery combination that led Wisner High to its only state high school baseball championship) and through college at Nebraska (Ziegenbein would also earn all-Big Seven honors as a pitcher in 1957-58).  Ziegenbein, too, was signed by the Yankees in 1958, but did not remain with the organization, opting to pursue a business career instead. Ziegenbein died of cancer in 1972.

Well known for his carousing ways, Kane was released by the Yankees’ Columbus farm team in 1960 after the parent club felt he was an unwanted influence on his roommates, including future American League rookie of the year Tom Tresh, Joe Pepitone and Tony Kubek. Kane never played professional baseball again.

With his professional career over, Kane returned to Nebraska and began teaching at Waterloo (NE) High School.  After teaching there for two years, he was hired to create from scratch the athletic programs at St. John’s Seminary, a small parochial school outside of Elkhorn, Nebraska.  Eventually, Kane would coach St. John’s  (later renamed Mount Michael Benedictine Abbey and High School) to two state titles and three runner-up titles in basketball, while achieving a career record of 547-263.  In football, Kane led the Knights to two state championships while establishing a career record of 197-97, while Kane coached two state champion teams in cross country and another in track.

In 1983, the Omaha World-Herald named Kane its “Coach of the Year”, after his Mount Michael football and basketball teams won state championships that school year.

Kane coached and taught at Mount Michael from 1964 to 2003, where he was known for his discipline and intensity. He was known for getting the most out of his players, who were usually outnumbered and overmatched physically. For instance, his 1990 state championship football team, which finished 11-1, started the year unranked and was picked to lose 8 times by the Omaha World Herald newspaper.  He was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver, from which he died on January 28, 2003, at the age of 65. Kane's funeral was in Mount Michael's gymnasium, and he was buried in the monastery's cemetery.

Kane was named to the Nebraska High School Sports Hall of Fame in 2003.

Nikos K. Logothetis (; born 5 November 1950 in Istanbul, Turkey) is a Greek biologist and neuroscientist. Logothetis studies visual perception and object recognition; he is well-known for his work demonstrating that BOLD fMRI data is related to neuronal activity. Logothetis directed the department of Physiology of Cognitive Processes at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen from 1996 to 2020. He will co-direct the International Center for Primate Brain Research in Shanghai beginning in late 2020 or early 2021.

Education and career
Logothetis received BS degrees in music and mathematics from the University of Athens, and biology from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. He completed his doctoral work at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich with Ernst Pöppel and received a PhD in human neurobiology in 1985. Logothetis then worked as a postdoctoral fellow and research scientist at the MIT Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences before joining the faculty at Baylor College of Medicine in 1990. Logothetis moved to direct the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in 1996. Logothetis has held adjunct professorships at multiple institutions, including the Salk Institute for Biological Studies since 1992 and Baylor College of Medicine since 1995.

He is a member of the Editorial Board for Current Biology.

Logothetis is one of the 2003 winners of the Louis-Jeantet Prize for Medicine.

Research

According to Logothetis, in order to understand a system, a description of it is necessary at all levels. As a result,  intracortical cell recording and also modeling and imaging is conducted at all levels in his department. Therefore, in addition to functional magnetic resonance imaging,  'in vivo' spectroscopy is also used, and the working group is researching smart contrast agents (SCA) in order to make functional imaging useful for effects other  than haemodynamic response.

Logothetis has made significant discoveries, such as finding out that the blood-oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) response is connected to brain activity at a neuronal level. These findings are essential for correct interpretation of measurements with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

Animal rights controversy
In 2014, a German television station aired footage recorded in Logothetis's lab by an undercover representative of the German Animal Welfare Federation documenting violence and harm to animals that might attain the legal definition of a regulation violation for primates. Logothetis announced in response that he would no longer work with non-human primates in 2015 due to lack of institutional support and protection for his research program. Police raids and investigations at this time did not find evidence of animal regulation violations.

Formal charges were brought against Logothetis and two staff members in August 2017 for allegedly delaying euthanasia to sick animals. On 20 February 2018, the Tübingen district court issued all three scientists a "penalty order," consisting of a fine and a sentence that would be automatically transformed into a conviction, which Logothetis immediately appealed. Following the order's announcement, the Max Planck Society (MPS) removed Logothetis's animal research responsibilities and right to conduct animal experiments.

Logothetis garnered significant support from members of the scientific community who criticized the MPS's decision to impose sanctions on Logothetis before a verdict had been reached regarding the alleged misconduct. The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) and Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) issued a joint statement in his support, followed by the International Brain Research Organization.

The specific charges Logothetis appealed were dismissed on 19 December 2018. Subsequently, the MPS restored Logothetis's duties at the Institute for Biological Cybernetics.

Influenced by continued skepticism and lack of support for animal research in Germany, Logothetis announced in 2020 that he would move his department to the International Center for Primate Brain Research in Shanghai and co-direct the center with Chinese neuroscientist Mu-ming Poo by late 2020 or early 2021.

James Reid-Anderson (born 12 April 1959) is a British businessman who was formerly the president, chairman, and chief executive officer (CEO) of Six Flags Entertainment Corporation. Before working for Six Flags, Anderson was previously a healthcare adviser to both Apollo and the managing board of Siemens AG. Under Reid-Anderson, Dade Behring was acquired by Siemens.

He succeeded interim CEO Al Weber Jr. in August 2010, who led the corporate restructuring of the company following its Chapter 11 bankruptcy and the ousting of former executives Mark Shapiro and Daniel Snyder. He held the position until February 2016, before his former position was reinstated in 2017 following the sudden departure of his successor, John Duffey.

Anderson is responsible for having led Six Flags Theme Parks through an eight-fold increase in market value over a five-year period. Under his first period of leadership, the company set a new strategic direction, achieved all-time high guest and employee satisfaction ratings and significant operational improvements, and drove a ten times return on investment for shareholders.

During his second tenure as Chairman, President, and CEO, Six Flags re-acquired many of its former properties that had been sold off to other companies, including Six Flags Darien Lake, Frontier City, and Six Flags Hurricane Harbor SplashTown, among others.

Personal life
Jim Reid-Anderson was born in Baghdad in 1959 but left to Beirut soon after due to the 14 July Revolution. He grew up in Lebanon, Guyana, and later London, where he was educated at Salesian College, Battersea. He obtained an Honors Degree in Commerce from the University of Birmingham in England and is a Fellow of the UK Association of Chartered Certified Accountants. He is married with four children.

Career

Early career
His early career involved stints at Mobil, Tricentrol, Grand Met/Diageo, PepsiCo and Wilson Sporting Goods, living in various parts of the world including Cyprus, Singapore and the US.

Dade Behring/Siemens
In 1996, Reid-Anderson joined Dade Behring Holdings Inc., a company which manufactured testing equipment and supplies for the medical diagnostics industry, as executive vice-president and chief financial officer (CFO) and later became chief administrative officer and CFO in September 1997. In April 1999, he was promoted to the role of president and chief operating officer and then CEO in September 2000. He was elected as the chairman of the board in October 2002.

In 2005, Reid-Anderson was a finalist in the Smart Business Chicago Entrepreneur of the Year awards and was later named in the British Sunday Times as the 22nd most influential Briton in the US

In 2007, Dade Behring was acquired by the German conglomerate Siemens AG. In November 2007, Reid-Anderson became the CEO of Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics and in May 2008, became a member of Siemens AG's managing board and CEO of Siemens Healthcare Sector. In 2009 he became a director of Stericycle Inc, an Illinois-based waste management company.

Six Flags
On 12 August 2010, Jim Reid-Anderson was named chairman, president and chief executive officer (CEO) of Six Flags Entertainment Corporation. The success of Dade Behring led investors to appoint him to this role, and their belief in him was rewarded as the company saw six record years in a row from a financial, guest and employee satisfaction perspective.

Reid-Anderson was succeeded by John M. Duffey as chairman, president, and CEO in 2016, but moved into the role of executive chairman on 19 February 2016, allowing others in the organisation to move up into senior roles. He continued to have a role in key strategic matters at the company, including governance, M&A, and international and organizational development.

On 18 July 2017, Six Flags Entertainment Corporation announced that its board of directors had appointed Jim Reid-Anderson, who had been serving as executive chairman of the company since February 2016, to re-assume his position as the company's chairman, president and CEO, effective immediately. Reid-Anderson succeeded John M. Duffey, who had suddenly resigned from the company for unknown personal reasons. Reid-Anderson had formerly served as chairman, president and CEO of Six Flags from August 2010 through February 2016.

On 24 October 2019, Six Flags announced that on 18 November 2019, Reid-Anderson would resign and be replaced with Michael Spanos, a Chief Executive Officer of a division of PepsiCo, effective immediately.

Aeroexpress Ltd. () is the operator of airport rail link services in  Russia. It is founded in 2005 and is owned by Russian Railways (50%), TransGroup AS (25%), Iskander Makhmudov (17.5%), and Andrei Bokarev (7.5%).
Until 2012, the company only provided the rail transportation services between Moscow rail terminals and Moscow airports (Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, and Vnukovo). The company previously also provided the rail link services to Kazan's Kazan International Airport, Sochi's Adler Airport, and Vladivostok's Knevichi Airport.

In 2012, Aeroexpress transported 17.4 million passengers.

History

The first rail link connected Moscow and Sheremetyevo Airport in 2002. In May 2008, Aeroexpress began to provide the rail link between Moscow and Vnukovo Airport (the line opened in August 2005). In July 2008, the company became the sole operator of rail links from Savyolovsky Rail Terminal (Butyrskaya Vokzal) and Belorussky Rail Terminal to Sheremetyevo airport and Lobnya, from Paveletsky Rail Terminal to Domodedovo airport, and  from Kiyevsky Rail Terminal to Vnukovo airport.

In February 2012, the service on the first non-Moscow link, connecting Sochi with its airport, began operations, followed in late July by a similar link in Vladivostok and, in 2013, Kazan. On its Vladivostok route the company also offered a limited commuter service at discounted prices. Services on routes outside Moscow were handed to other companies in early 2015 due to heavy losses and the "current macroeconomic situation".

 2004: "text 2002/3" Hardcover,  The newspaper reading in the internet still was for free. I moved with 68 years to Berlin to witness the descent of the city after the reunification before it might eventually rises up again.  While reading the SPIEGEL in the internet I came across one onlinepartnership agency, that started to establish them at that time in the internet. Quite unintentionally an exchange developed with multiple mail partners. I fell in love a few times. Two relations went beyond. And here with the background of a forty year old community with my partner in Düsseldorf a new love story evolved. The idea of finding material for a time map, led me to save the correspondence.text 2002/3 () is a book that consists of mail and SMS – in their original form without omissions or corrections.

With metastases in the abdomen, she fought the last years of her life and spend her last days in a hospice in Düsseldorf Germany.  When I said goodbye to her to go to sleep in the evening of 15 August, I was surprised by her call later that evening. She had taken of her clothes and wanted me to come to take a picture of her: "A picture for the art".  I was irritated when I drove to her and I went without my camera, because she always had refused to be photographed. It was then when I saw her in front of me, that I realized what was going on. The next day I fulfilled her desire – as if it was mine. With taking pictures of her we fulfilled miraculously both our lives.  Margaret's letters from August 1957 to March 1961, her death on 16 /17 August 2006 (taken with a video camera) and extracts from her travel logs and her last notes.

John Patrick Kirk (September 20, 1867, Ypsilanti, Michigan – August 22, 1952, Ypsilanti) was a Michigan politician in the early 1900s.

He was born on September 20, 1867, the son of Bernard Kirk (d. 1899) and Ann (Murphy) Kirk, immigrants from Ireland. He married Mary Shaff on June 20, 1898. Kirk graduated from the University of Michigan Law School in 1888 and became a lawyer, was Washtenaw County prosecuting attorney from 1897 to 1900. He was commissioned as a major in the Army during the Spanish–American War; his name is inscribed on Ypsilanti's Spanish–American War Memorial, as the highest-ranking officer. Kirk subsequently became a general.

He was a member of Michigan House of Representatives from Washtenaw County's 2nd district from 1903 to 1904, when he became an unsuccessful candidate for the United States House of Representatives for Michigan's 2nd congressional district in the 1904 general elections.  He was elected mayor of Ypsilanti in 1908, defeating George D. Lockwood, and served from 1908–1910. He was nominated as the Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Michigan in 1916, but lost. He was an unsuccessful candidate for circuit judge in Michigan 22nd Circuit in 1917. He was a delegate from Michigan to the 1936 Democratic National Convention, at which Franklin Delano Roosevelt was renominated for President. In his later career, Kirk was a bank president in Ypsilanti, where he died in 1952. He is buried in St. John Cemetery in Ypsilanti.

John Kirk and his wife had 4 children. His eldest son, Bernard Kirk, was an All-American football player who played for both the University of Notre Dame and the University of Michigan.
