The Boulevard des Capucines is a boulevard in Paris. It is one of the 'Grands Boulevards' in Paris, a chain of boulevards built through the former course of the Wall of Charles V and the Louis XIII Wall, which were destroyed on the orders of Louis XIV.

The name comes from a beautiful convent of Capuchin nuns whose garden was on the south side of the boulevard prior to the French Revolution.

The former name, Rue Basse-du-Rempart ("bottom-of-the-wall street" in French), suggests that, in the beginning, the street paralleled the city wall of Paris. Then, when the wall was destroyed, the street was widened and became a boulevard.

Notable places
At No. 1 stood the Neapolitan Café, famous for the writers, journalists, and actors who were its patrons, such as Catulle Mendès, Jean Moréas, Armand Silvestre, and Laurent Tailhade.

No. 2, at the junction with the rue de la Chaussée-d'Antin, was the site of the former Hotel de Montmorency, then Théâtre du Vaudeville 1869, later Paramount Opéra movies in 1927 and Gaumont Opéra since 2007. The main hall was the 'grand salon' of the hotel in the 18th century. The rotunda on the facade has been kept.

No. 5 was the location of the photographic studio of Pierre-Louis Pierson (later associated with the Mayer brothers), who was the photographic collaborator of Virginia Oldoini, Countess di Castiglione.

At No. 7, the Georama was erected in 1825: it was possible to see "the whole earth" inside a sphere 14 meters in diameter.

At No. 8, Jacques Offenbach lived from 1876 and died in 1880.

At No. 12, the Grand Hotel was built on a former swamp-garden.

No. 14 was the site of the Hotel Scribe and the location of the former Grand Café where the first public showing of movies by Auguste and Louis Lumière took place in the Salon Indien on 28 December 1895.  Here, too, X-ray light experiments were carried out by Dr. Wilhelm Röntgen.

From No. 16 to No. 22 stood the buildings of the former newspaper L'Évènement, founded by Victor Hugo.

At No. 24, Mistinguett lived from 1905 to 1956.

No. 25 was the former location of the Musée Cognacq-Jay set up in 1931.

At No. 27 stood the former store, the Samaritaine de Luxe, built by Frantz Jourdain, a specialist in Art Nouveau.

No. 28 was the location of a roller coaster called montagnes russes (Russian mountains) in 1889. It was replaced in 1893 by the Olympia theater, a famous music hall founded in 1888 by Joseph Oller and taken over in 1952 by Bruno Coquatrix.

No. 35 was where Nadar had his photography studio, and was previously the studio of Gustave Le Gray, the central figure in French photography of the 1850s — an artist, teacher, and the author of several widely distributed instructional manuals on photography. And it here that at Nadar's invitation, the First Impressionist Exhibition was held on 15 April 1874, exhibitors included Renoir, Édouard Manet, Pissarro, and Claude Monet. The painting by Claude Monet, Impression, Sunrise, gave the exhibitors the name of Impressionists. Another of Claude Monet's paintings painted from a window in Nadar's studio is entitled Boulevard des Capucines, and is now visible in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow or the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri.

From No. 37 to No. 43 was the former location of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs from 1820 to 1853. On 23 February 1848, a battalion of the 14th regiment blocked the boulevard to protect François Guizot. In the evening, a crowd of demonstrators tried to break down the barricade. The soldiers fired, killing 35 people and wounding 50. The demonstrators put the corpses in a dumper and called the people of Paris to arms. It was the beginning of the revolution which ended the reign of Louis-Philippe the next day.

Berachah Church is a nondenominational Bible church founded in 1935 in Houston, Texas.

History
Berachah Church was founded by C. W. Colgan, an oil company executive, who created it to evangelize Christianity. In 1950, Robert Thieme came to Berachah. Thieme met with the Board of Deacons at the close of his first Sunday service and recommended that they resign immediately. The board accepted this and from that moment on, according to Joe Wall, Thieme "became the dominant leader who brooked no challenge to his authority." Thieme was pastor at Berachah until he retired in 2003, at which time his only son, Robert "Bobby" Thieme III, was elected by the congregation of Berachah to serve as the new pastor.

Pastors
C. W. Colgan (1935–1936)
J. Elwood Evans (1936–1940)
Richard Seume (1941–1946)
William F. Burcaw (1946–1950)
Robert Thieme (1950–2003)
Robert B. Thieme III (2004-)

Beliefs
According to the church's doctrinal statement, its purpose is to "present isagogical, categorical, and exegetical Bible teaching" and to "present the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ both at home and abroad." It holds to eternal security and a premillennial pre-tribulation rapture. Under "Church Ordinances", it lists only the Lord's Supper.

Location
Colgan led a group that broke away from St. Mark's Methodist Church on Pecore.  They met at The Heights Women's Club (extant) on Harvard Street, just off 20th Street.

During Evans' pastorship, the church built and occupied a small auditorium at 171 Heights Boulevard, while during Burcaw's time, the church transferred to 502 Lamar Street. The current location is 2815 Sage Road, Houston.

The Maiden of the North (in Finnish: ) is an opera in three acts written in 1898 by the Finnish composer Oskar Merikanto. The piece was a collaboration with the Finnish author , the Finnish-language libretto of whom was based on a script by the Finnish opera singer Lorenz Nikolai Achté. The opera tells a story from The Kalevala, Finland's national epic, in which the old wizard Väinämöinen and the blacksmith Ilmarinen, as rival suitors, vie for the hand of the beautiful Maiden of Pohjola; she is the daughter of Louhi, the villainous Queen of the Northland. Although rarely performed, The Maiden of the North retains a degree of historical significance as the first Finnish-language opera.

Composition
Merikanto wrote The Maiden of the North in response to an 1898 advertisement by the Finnish Literature Society, which was holding a contest for a Finnish-language opera about Finnish mythology or history. (A first competition launched in 1891 had received no submissions.) At the time, all extant operas by Finnish composers—for example, Fredrik Pacius's King Charles's Hunt (, 1852) and Jean Sibelius's The Maiden in the Tower (, 1896)—had been written to Swedish-language libretti. In March 1899, Merikanto won the competition by default: his The Maiden of the North was the only submission. The awards jury, which included such Helsinki luminaries as Kaarlo Bergbom, , Arvid Genetz, Robert Kajanus, and Sibelius, was "extremely critical" of Merikanto's music, arguing that it was "simple"; but because Merikanto had met the parameters of the contest to create a national opera, the awards jury had little choice but to approve his entry. Nevertheless, the jury refused to stage The Maiden of the North, even though Bergbom's Finnish Theatre would have been an obvious venue to premiere the work.

Premiere
The Maiden of the North waited a decade for its first performance, which occurred in the Vyborg Theatre at the 1908 Vyborg (Viipuri) Song Festival (). Merikanto conducted the town orchestra, which had to be reinforced by 35 musicians from the Helsinki Orchestral Society, and an amateur chorus comprising local singers and students from the Vyborg Church Music School.  The cast included some of Finland's leading soloists, who created the following roles:

Neil Bernard McAdam (born 30 July 1957) is a Scottish former football goalkeeper who played in the Football League for Port Vale. He also played in the Second Division game for Albion Rovers, and played in the Northern Premier League and Alliance Premier League for Northwich Victoria, Oswestry Town, and Caernarfon.

Career
McAdam played one Second Division game for Albion Rovers at Cliftonhill in the 1977–78 season, before crossing the border to join Northwich Victoria. Under the stewardship of Ray Williams, the "Vics" finished tenth in the Northern Premier League in 1978–79, and then became founder members of the Alliance Premier League. The Drill Field outfit finished eighth in 1979–80, fourth in 1980–81 under Stan Storton, and sixth in 1981–82 under John King.

McAdam joined John McGrath's Port Vale in August 1982. He kept a clean sheet in his debut game; a 1–0 win over Torquay United on 28 December 1982 at Vale Park. He only played one more Fourth Division match in the 1982–83 promotion campaign, but once regular custodian Barry Siddall was injured he found himself behind loanee Neville Southall and new signing Andy Poole in the pecking order.

In May 1983, he was given a free transfer to Northern Premier League side Oswestry Town. The Park Hall side finished in 20th place in 1983–84, and McAdam moved on to Caernarfon. The "Canaries" were elected into the Northern Premier League in 1985–86, and managed a third-place finish in 1986–87. He retired from the game after suffering a serious knee injury playing against his old club Oswestry Town, leaving The Oval at the end of that season. He returned briefly to Caernarfon as assistant coach in the 1988–89 season and was interim boss after the sacking of Phil Wilson. McAdam then moved to Rhyl as assistant to Robert Hunt, his last coaching position before he emigrated to North Carolina.

The West African Craton (WAC) is one of the five cratons of the Precambrian basement rock of Africa that make up the African Plate, the others being the Kalahari craton, Congo craton, Saharan Metacraton and Tanzania Craton. Cratons themselves are tectonically inactive, but can occur near active margins, with the WAC extending across 14 countries in Western Africa, coming together in the late Precambrian and early Palaeozoic eras to form the African continent. It consists of two Archean centers juxtaposed against multiple Paleoproterozoic domains made of greenstone belts, sedimentary basins, regional granitoid-tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite (TTG) plutons, and large shear zones. The craton is overlain by Neoproterozoic and younger sedimentary basins. The boundaries of the WAC are predominantly defined by a combination of geophysics and surface geology, with additional constraints by the geochemistry of the region. At one time, volcanic action around the rim of the craton may have contributed to a major global warming event.

Location and geology

The craton appears to have formed when three Archean cratons fused: Leo-Man-Ghana, Taoudeni and Reguibat. The first two docked around 2.1 Ga (billion years ago), and the Reguibat Craton docked with the craton around 2 Ga. The roots of the combined craton extend to a depth of over  in the sub-continental lithospheric mantle. The WAC stretches from the Little Atlas mountains of Morocco to the Gulf of Guinea, and is bounded by mobile belts of much younger rocks to the north, east and west. The oldest rocks were metamorphosed 2.9 to 2.5 billion years ago. In the Sahara it is mostly covered by more recent sediments from the Phanerozoic Eon. Further south, younger volcanic and sedimentary rocks outcrop in Ghana, Ivory Coast, and Sierra Leone, surrounded by even younger sediments laid down in the Precambrian.

The WAC is made of two distinct regions north and south of each other;  the Reguibat shield and the Man shield respectively. Both of these regions are mainly made of rocks that are either Archean or Paleoproterozoic in age, with western Archean nuclei, and rock types are separated by major shear zones. The fold belts surrounding the WAC were folded and metamorphosed during the Pan-African and/or the Variscan orogenies.

The WAC underlies the modern countries of Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania, Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea Bissau, Guinea, Mali, Burkina Faso, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo and Benin.

Metamorphism and evolution

The metamorphic record of the craton is characteristic of Paleoproterozoic plate tectonics. A definitive evolution of the area has not been determined as a result of conflicting interpretation of the relationship between low-grade greenstone belts and high-grade gneissic terranes dominated by TTG suites. The three major, widely accepted tectonothermal events for the WAC; the 3.5 to 2.9 Ga Pre-Leonean and Leonean Orogeny, the 2.9 to 2.8 Ga Liberian Orogeny, and the 2.15-1.8 Ga Eburnean Orogeny. A definitive answer has strong implications on the geodynamic processes controlling the craton stabilization and maturation after the Archean-Proterozoic transition. Limited geochronological data indicate a prolonged period of metamorphic overprint, lasting approximately 70-million-years, with the support of Sm-Nd garnet-whole-rock isochron age data and U-Pb and Pb-Pb crystallization ages of zircon, monazite, and titanite.

Overprinting relationships in the area indicate copper mineralization is associated with the first deformation event in the WAC, with gold mineralization occurring during subsequent deformation events via reactivation of magmatic and hydrothermal fluids.

Constraints

The metamorphic rock of the WAC include, but are not limited to, high-grade amphibolite facies amphibolite, gneiss, paragneiss schist, calc-silicate rock, and migmatites. Portions of the region have also been metamorphosed to the greenschist facies, generally termed a greenstone belt in an Archean terrane. The timing of the facies is constrained by the in-situ U-Pb dating, with garnet composition providing constraints for prograde evolution at the blueschist-amphibolite facies transition. The tectonic environment is constrained by a combination of geophysics, surface geology, geochemistry, and metallogenesis.

Wanderings

The Earth formed about 4.54 billion years ago. As it cooled, the lithosphere, consisting of the crust and the rigid uppermost part of the mantle, solidified. The lithosphere rides on the asthenosphere, which is also solid but can flow like a liquid on geological time scales. The lithosphere is broken up into tectonic plates, which slowly move in relation to one another at speeds of 50–100 mm annually, colliding, combining into continents, splitting and drifting apart to form new continental configurations.

It is difficult to reconstruct the early wanderings of the West African Craton, but around 1.13–1.071 billion years ago it seems to have been one of the cratons that came together to form Rodinia, a supercontinent. At that time, the Congo Craton lay to the west of the Amazonian Craton, and the West African Craton lay to the south where both were rotated about 180° and retain this relative configuration.

Around 750 million years ago Rodinia rifted apart into three continents: Proto-Laurasia, the Congo craton and Proto-Gondwana. The West African Craton may then have combined with other cratons to form Pannotia, a hypothetical supercontinent that existed from the Pan-African orogeny about 600 million years ago to the end of the Precambrian about 539 million years ago. Later it became part of Gondwana, and later still part of Pangaea, the supercontinent that existed during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras about between 335 and 175 million years ago, before North and South America separated from Eurasia and Africa and the continents started to drift towards current configurations.

Snowball Earth

Proponents of the Snowball Earth theory claim that sometime before 650 million years ago the Earth was going through an extremely cold period. The oceans were frozen to great depths, and snow covering reflected the heat from the sun through cloudless skies. Only simple forms of life could survive in locations such as deep oceanic hydrothermal vents. At the end of this period the edges of the West African craton became highly active, throwing up a ring of volcanoes. The thermal activity was caused by excessive mantle heat that had built up below the craton, insulated by the lithosphere. The volcanic eruptions created a greenhouse effect on massive scale, melting the ice and releasing CO2 into the atmosphere. The climate quickly switched to one much warmer than today, resulting in the Cambrian explosion of life forms.

Features

During its wanderings, at different times covered by ice sheets, forests, marshes or arid desert, the surface of the West African Craton has been heavily eroded by ice, water and wind. In most places the original rocks are buried far below more recent volcanic and sedimentary deposits. The visible features are usually of comparatively recent origin.

Little Atlas Range and Atlas Mountains

The Little Atlas range formed about 300 million years ago when Euramerica and Gondwana ground against one another during the Alleghenian orogeny, a process that also formed the Appalachians in present-day North America. More recently, in the Cenozoic Era from 66 million to about 1.8 million year ago, the mountain chains that today compose the Atlas Mountains were lifted up as the European and African plates collided at the southern end of the Iberian peninsula. Erosion has reduced the Little Atlas range so that it is today lower than the High Atlas range to the north.

Saharan Basins

South of the mountains, the West African Craton is relatively flat, mostly desert or dry savanna apart from the areas near the Atlantic or Gulf of Guinea. However, below the surface there are ancient sedimentary basins such as the Taoudeni basin that may contain large reserves of oil and gas.

Reguibat Shield

The northern Reguibat shield covers parts of Algeria, Western Sahara, Morocco and Mauritania. It contains exposed Paleoproterozoic units to the east, and Archean to the west, including kimberlites making it a primary diamond source with gold and copper deposits occurring in a sub-domain of the shield (Paleoproterozoic Yetti). It experienced at least one major cooling event during the Mesozoic and three minor cooling events from the late Cretaceous to present day. Low temperature thermochronology data indicates that the western side of the shield has an igneous differentiation post-Triassic thermal history, largely controlled by vertical movements of the crust via burial and exhumation processes.

Man Shield

The southern Man shield covers the countries Ivory Coast, Mali, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Guinea. In this shield, a large portion of the WAC consists of Paleoproterozoic Birimian continent. The Birimian units were initially produced in an immature volcanic arc setting, which was later metamorphosed during the Eburnean orogeny. The poor exposure of the greenstone belt in the area limits interpretations of a broad structural context. The limited greenstone belt exposure indicates a major deformation event associated with granitoid intrusions.

The shield hosts world-class gold deposits, important iron ore concentrations, and the mineralization of aluminum ore, lead-zinc, manganese, phosphate, and uranium. A majority of the gold deposit formations occurred during the Eburnean orogeny, but a number of the remaining gold deposits formed before this orogeny during a period of oceanic arc-back-arc basin formation and erosion during the Neoproterozoic and Cretaceous.

Mining activity

Within the West African Craton, there is a large amount of mining activity covering resources such as gold, copper, cobalt, silver, tin, and zinc.

Artisanal mining activity in the craton dates back to the early 1960s which used quartz vein debris as a gold indicator. Placer gold is primarily exploited by the artisanal miners, with other deposit types being mined by open-pit or by excavation mining (surface mining or sub-surface mining). In 1985 the State of Burkina Faso created an official structure, known as Le Projet Orpaillage, for the management of gold mining and buying in the region. Metallurgical studies on the gold panning rejects were funded by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BUMIGEB). The treatment of mine tailings collected from artisanal working gold was the principle operation conducted by the Compagnie d'Exploitation des Mines d'Or du Burkina (CEMOB), operating a heap leach plant which processed approximately 500 tonnes of gold panning rejects per day.

Mining in Sierra Leone

Following the Mineral Act, organized mining began in 1927 with significant mineral discovery in the 1930s and 40s resulting in medium to moderately sized mines; iron ore, two extensive alluvial gold field deposits, placer gold, alluvial diamonds, and chromite deposits. Quarrying and mining provides a livelihood for greater than 250 thousand people in Sierra Leone alone, employing approximately 15% of its population, producing a significant amount of material to qualify as a resource-rich country. The mining of the WAC can establish a strong economy and government development support, helping the alleviation of poverty.

is a Japanese drama produced by Fuji Television starring actress Maki Horikita.  The producer, director, and screenwriter for the series consists of the same team that created the successful 2007 drama Hanazakari no Kimitachi e.  The series ran from Tuesday, April 14 to June 23, 2009, in the 9:00 PM time slot.

Plot summary
Chisato Mineta (Maki Horikita), a 20-year-old homeless girl who moves about from parks to net cafes.
Her mother died of illness, and when her father disappears after earning an incredible 100 million Yen debt, she is chased out of her home. Chisato spends her life running from debt collectors living as a homeless person. One day she gets caught by debt-collectors to force her to pay the 100 million Yen debt her father left behind. Where then a president of a huge toy company (Okura Shinzo) comes and rescues her by paying off the debt but then tricks her into marrying him. She then finds out that he only has one month to live and is in need of a "wife" to take care of him. If she stays married to him then she does not have to pay back the debt but if she leaves then all the money has to be returned immediately in cash.

A month later, she finds out that the president actually has more conditions than just being his wife. She must also live in the Trick Heart Castle with his six sons, all adopted to be successors of the company, and act as their mother for three months in order for the debt to be fully paid. However, each son has hidden himself away from the rest of the family and treat each other as mere strangers that live in the same household. Will Chisato be able to open up their hearts and turn these strangers into a loving family?

The International Union for the Study of Social Insects has at its purpose  to promote and encourage the study of social insects and other social organisms in the broadest sense. Both research and the dissemination of knowledge about social insects and other social organisms through publications, educational programs, and activities are encouraged. The Union further pursues these objectives via the organization of Congresses and Symposia, publication of the journal Insectes Sociaux, and recognition of distinguished service with awards. National and regional sections play a key role in the IUSSI, with the sections organizing meetings, symposia, and newsletters.

The Union was founded in 1951 as a result of discussions at the International Entomological Congress in Amsterdam.  Key figures in the establishment of the IUSSI were Pierre-Paul Grassé (France), T. C. Schneirla (U.S.A.), Carlo Jucci (Italy), K. Gösswald (Germany), D. R. Gonçalves (Brazil), and Tohru Uchida (Japan).  Grassé took the lead in many matters in the early years of the IUSSI, including establishment of the Union's quarterly scientific journal, published since 1954, called Insectes Sociaux.

The Union was also originally referred to by its name in French, L'Union Internationale pour l'Étude des Insectes Sociaux, or UIEIS

Union Officers include a Secretary-General, who provides overall coordination and management of Union finances, the Editor of Insectes Sociaux, and the President.  These offices are filled by recommendation of the international committee and vote of the general assembly at the Union's quadrennial International Congress.  The President is the scientific organizer for the next International Congress and is a member of the section that will host the next Congress. It follows that the Union is organized into sections based on nationality or geographic region. Each section has its own activities, possibly including meetings and publications.

Secretaries-General
Until the 1973 Congress in London, the IUSSI was led by a committee consisting of the Presidents of the sections.  Under the leadership of Charles D.  Michener and G. LeMasne, a new constitution was adopted at the London Congress and the position of Secretary-General was created.  Philip Howse of the University of Southampton was elected the first Secretary-General.

, also known as S.-Y. Kuroda, was Professor Emeritus
and Research Professor of Linguistics at the University of California, San Diego.
Although a pioneer in the application of Chomskyan generative syntax to
the Japanese language, he is known for the broad range of his work across the language sciences. For instance, in formal language theory, the Kuroda normal form for context-sensitive grammars bears his name.

Early life and career
Kuroda was born into a prominent family of mathematicians in Japan.
His grandfather, Teiji Takagi, was a student of David Hilbert. Kuroda himself
received degrees in mathematics and linguistics from the University of Tokyo.
In 1962, he entered MIT with the first graduating class from the new Department of Linguistics,
where he wrote his seminal dissertation, Generative Studies in the Japanese Language (1965), under Chomsky's supervision.

Important publications

Legacy
In 2013, the Association for Mathematics of Language, an affiliate of the Association for Computational Linguistics, established the S.-Y. Kuroda Prize to honor "work that has spawned a broad area of research" within mathematical linguistics. The prize has been awarded at most biennially.

In 2017, the Linguistic Society of America established a fellowship in his honor. It provides funding to Japanese students to attend the Linguistic Society's biennial summer institute.

The Ukrainian League Cup () was a knockout cup competition in Ukrainian football, run by the Professional Football League of Ukraine. The tournament was organized to supplement the 2009–10 Ukrainian Second League season. The winner of the tournament received the Umbro League Cup.

History
Previously, in 1999 there was created a somewhat similar tournament, Ukrainian Second League Cup, that would qualify its winner and finalist for the national cup (Ukrainian Cup), but after the 2000–01 season it was discontinued.

Format
The format of this competition fluctuated insignificantly. It consisted of a qualification round that was followed by the first round, 1/16 of the final. Initially all rounds from the first to the semi-finals consisted of two games, on a home-away basis; later it changed with only one game played from the randomly chosen field of the participating clubs. Mainly the competition was limited to clubs that were competing in the Second League. Later, semifinalists were allowed to enter the Ukrainian Cup. The winner and runner-up of the competition were awarded a qualification to the Ukrainian Cup in 2000 and 2001.

First edition
In the 2009–10 season, the Cup began with a group tournament where teams from the 2009–10 Ukrainian Second League and amateur level competitors participated. At this stage all 24 teams were divided into eight groups. The best two teams out of each group advanced to the next round of the competition (second round) while all the last placed participants were eliminated. In the second round teams were paired with each other with the winners of each group playing at home. The winner of each pair advanced to the next round (quarter-finals). The quarter-finals took place in the same manner. These semi-finals consisted of two home-away matches, while the final took place at a neutral field. The winners of this competition were awarded the cup and the prize money (150,000 hryvnia) from Umbro, the general sponsor of the event.

History
First contested at the 1950 state election, the seat's inaugural member was John Tonkin of the Labor Party, hitherto the member for North-East Fremantle since 1933. Tonkin served a long career in parliament, going to become Premier of Western Australia from 1971 to 1974. When Tonkin finally retired at the 1977 state election, he was succeeded by fellow Labor candidate Barry Hodge. Hodge served four terms before his defeat at the hands of Liberal candidate Doug Shave.

Melville was abolished ahead of the 1996 state election. Shave went on to become the member for the new seat of Alfred Cove.

Gustavo Bueno Martínez (1 September 1924 – 7 August 2016) was a Spanish philosopher, founder of a philosophical doctrine dubbed by himself as "philosophical materialism".

Pupil of the national-syndicalist Santiago Montero Díaz, Bueno's ideological path reached a blend of right-wing and left-wing autoritarianism during the years of the late francoism.

Biography
Gustavo Bueno Martínez was born in Santo Domingo de la Calzada on 1 September 1924. He was the son of a Germanophile and the grandson of a Carlist. He began studies of philosophy at the University of Zaragoza, earning his licentiate degree (as well as his PhD degree) from the University of Madrid. His PhD dissertation, under supervision from , was titled Fundamento formal y material de la moderna filosofía de la religión ('Formal and material foundation of the modern philosophy of religion'). From 1949 to 1960, he worked as a philosophy professor (and from 1951 on also as a principal) in the 'Lucía Medrano' female high school, located in Salamanca. Throughout the 1950s, he appears as provincial political commissar of the Movimiento. In 1954, he married noted SEU activist Carmen Sánchez Revilla. In 1960, he left for Oviedo, as he was appointed as a professor of Fundamentals of Philosophy and History of Philosophical Systems at the University of Oviedo. He died in  (Llanes, Asturias), on 7 August 2016.

Philosophical materialism
Philosophical materialism is a systematic doctrine about the structure of reality, characterized by its opposition to monistic materialism (typical of dialectical materialism) and to monistic idealism or spiritualism of theology. However philosophical materialism is a pluralism of rationalism, that postulates the uniqueness of the world as a development of a general ontological matter that does not reduce to the empirical world. Philosophical materialism denies, against monistic continuity, and in agreement with the principle of the symploké that, "everything has an influence in everything" and denies, against pluralistic atomism that, "nothing has an influence in anything".

With respect to traditional materialism, philosophical materialism has a common characteristic, the denial of spiritualism, and the denial of spiritual essence. But unlike other materialism, philosophical materialism does not reduce materialism to the denial of supernatural things. Philosophical materialism admits the reality of incorporeal things: for example the real relation (not mental) of the distance that exists between two bottles of water that are on a table is as real as two corporeal bottles. This distance is incorporeal material and is not spiritual. With this criterion the concept of matter is redefined for philosophy and shows a more precise word than matter, the stroma.

This system has several aspects to be described:

 Ontology (general and particular)
 Gnosiology (theory of the categorical closure)
 Philosophy of religion (and the role of animals in the essence of religion)

These were the predominant subjects of the writings of Bueno until the 1990s. However, at the start of the new millennium, he started to deal with ethical subjects and social and political subjects. However, he was criticized that he did not display the same "same rigor." For example, it is said of his criticisms of pacifism that it is more of an attempt to make, "deceitful analysis" of "rhetorical attitude" and they often arrive, "to the insult and unjust disqualification from biased analysis", without ever showing changes of position in his arguments.

Spain and Empire
A main intellectual reference for the 21st-century vindicators of the Spanish imperial past jointly with Elvira Roca Barea, he espoused the idea of the Asturian kingdom as an embryonic 'Spain' and as a case of Translatio imperii with respect to Rome (bypassing the Visigoths, as they occupied the Iberian Peninsula, but they would have done it so "with the will to remain in seclusion in it"), pursuing the "imperial city" category for Oviedo, underpinning his main thesis of that of the "consubstantiality" of the process of the constitution of 'Spain' as a characteristic entity of Universal History and the process of its conformation as a Universal Empire.
