Oya Kayacık (1938 – December 2, 2020) was a Turkish nurse who spent more than 60 years working with children in an orphanage in Istanbul. She was dubbed Mother Oya. Early years Kayacık was born as the only child into a wealthy merchant family at Beyoğlu district of Istanbul in 1938. She was educated in Arnavutköy American High School for Girls in Istanbul. After graduation, Kayacık joined the "Kasımpaşa Çocuk Yuvası Koruma Derneği" ("Kasımpaşa Kindergarten Protection Association") at age 21 to take part in a social responsibility project. Career In 1960, Kayacık was involved in charity work in the orphanage ("Kasımpaşa Çocuk Yuvası", later "Kasımpaşa Çocuk Evleri Sitesi") in Kasımpaşa quarter of Beyoğlu run by the Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Services. She started working as a volunteer pushing away the opportunities offered by her family. Kayacık explained how she decided to work in the orphanage: "The first day in the orphanage, I met a 3.5-year old sick boy in the orphanage. He was in treatment at Cerrahpaşa Hospital. I cared for his recovery, and he behaved warmly to me. The pleasure of having helped him kept me to stay in the orphanage." The orphanage was housed in a small building, and was financed through the revenues of a dispensary situated in the building. In addition to the boarders living on the premises, there were also day children. In the beginning, Kayacık went to the orphanage daily from her home. She improved conditions in the institution by collecting stoves from the coffeehouses around to keep the children warm. She brought food cooked at her home to the children. Finally, she left her home and moved into a small room in the orphanage in order not to leave the orphans alone. She thus became best described as a mother. The orphans and the people living in Kasımpaşa called her "Oya Anne" ("Mother Oya"). Kayacık was legal guardian of two girls, Nursel Ergin, and Göksenin. Nursel Ergin became known in the television game show 'Var mısın? Yok musun? (Turkish version of Deal or No Deal) and presents the television cookery show Nursel'in Mutfağı ("Nursel's Cuisine"). In 2008, during her appearance on the game show, Ergin started a donation campaign totaling 2.5 million (approx. US$1.67 million in 2008) for the completion of the construction of a new orphanage building to replace the old one, which was damaged during the 1999 İzmit earthquake. Göksenin was born with Down syndrome. In 2018, President Erdoğan, who was born and grew up in Kasımpaşa, honored Kayacık by paying a visit to the orphanage and meeting her personally. Kayacık worked in the orphanage for more than 60 years without being on salary. Death and legacy In November 2020, Kayacık was diagnosed with COVID-19, which she recovered from with the determination to live. After a short time, she was hospitalized due to low blood pressure. Kayacık died in the Koşuyolu Hospital from cardiovascular disease at age 82 on December 2, 2020. She was interred at the Feriköy Cemetery next to her parents' graves following a memorial ceremony held in front of the Kasımpaşa Orphanage, and a religious funeral service at Hacı Ayşe Sarıgül Mosque. She was not married. Upon a directive of Zehra Zümrüt Selçuk, the Minister of Family, Labour and Social Services, who attended the funeral, the orphanage was officially renamed to "Kasımpaşa Oya Anne Çocuk Yuvası" ("Kasımpaşa Mother Oya Kindergarten").

is a collection of short stories by Inagaki Taruho. Published in 1923, the loosely connected stories are written in an idiosyncratic style, often presenting surreal situations and characters. Overview One Thousand and One-Second Stories is considered an example of early Japanese modernism. Critic and translator Hiroaki Sato asserts that Taruho's style also resembles Futurism, Dadaism, Surrealism, and Expressionism, all of which were influential artistic movements of the time. The brief stories, some of which are only a sentence or two, are described as “fragmentary distillations of simple observations”. Most of the stories have a Japanese title, while a few are titled in French like Un Mémoire and Un Chanson ďEnfants. Celestial bodies appear throughout; shooting stars fall to earth and become everyday objects, and the moon acts as a recurring character known as “Mr. Moon”. According to the New York Times, Taruho’s “whimsical sketches are colorful and amusing, a mixture of vaudeville slapstick and primitive cartoon”. Taruho is believed to have included an explanation for his stories’s fanciful style with the final line of Un Énigme, in which the narrator exclaims: nonsenseisayhasavalue. The book was first published in English in 1998. References 1923 short story collections Fantasy short story collections

His brother Terence was a politician who became Prime Minister of Northern Ireland. He married Ann Charteris, granddaughter of the 11th Lord Wemyss, on 6 October 1932. They had two children, Hon. Raymond Arthur Clanaboy O'Neill (b. 1933; later 4th Baron O'Neill) and Hon. Fionn Frances Bride O'Neill (b. 1936), who married Sir John Albert Leigh Morgan and had issue. After his death, Ann remarried, firstly to the 2nd Lord Rothermere, a press tycoon and former Tory MP, and later to Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond, as well as having affairs with the Labour politicians Hugh Gaitskell and Roy Jenkins. His great-grandson is British record producer, singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and DJ, Fred again.. Career In 1929, O'Neill joined the Gillett Brothers Discount Company as a director. Military service On 30 August 1929, he was promoted to lieutenant in the 8th King's Royal Irish Hussars. With the outbreak of World War II, he was granted an emergency commission on 20 September 1939 as a second lieutenant in the North Irish Horse, Royal Armoured Corps. In October 1939, he was granted the acting rank of captain. In December 1939, he was promoted to lieutenant colonel and appointed the officer commanding.

Peerage His father, Arthur O'Neill, and grandfather, Edward O'Neill, 2nd Baron O'Neill, were Members of Parliament representing Mid Antrim and Antrim respectively in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom. As the 2nd Baron O'Neill's eldest surviving son, Shane's father was heir to the title of Baron O'Neill. At his birth, Shane became second in line to the title of Baron O'Neill. However, his father died in action during World War I and he, therefore, became his grandfather's heir. He succeeded to the title after his grandfather's death in 1928, becoming the 3rd Baron O'Neill. As a hereditary peer with a Peerage of the United Kingdom, he was able to sit in the House of Lords. Though he had inherited the title in 1928, he first took his seat in the Lords on 3 April 1930. In 1937 he attended the Coronation of George VI at Westminster Abbey and paid homage to him with the other Lords Temporal.

Corymbia jacobsiana, commonly known as Jacob's bloodwood or stringybark bloodwood, is a species of tree that is endemic to the Northern Territory. It has rough, stringy bark on the trunk and branches, lance-shaped to elliptical or curved adult leaves, flower buds in groups of three or seven, creamy white flowers and urn-shaped fruit. Description Corymibia jacobsiana is a tree that typically grows to a height of and forms a lignotuber and rhizomes. It has rough, stringy, yellow-brown to grey-brown bark on the trunk and branches. Young plants and coppice regrowth have hairy, glossy dark green leaves that are paler on the lower surface, arranged in opposite pairs, linear, long and wide on a short petiole. Adult leaves are arranged alternately, glossy dark green above, much paler on the lower surface, lance-shaped to elliptical or curved, long and wide, tapering to a petiole long. The flower buds are arranged on the ends of branchlets on a branched peduncle long, each branch of the peduncle with three or seven buds on pedicels long. Mature buds are oval to pear-shaped or spherical, about long and wide with a rounded to conical or beaked operculum. The tree is thought to flower between February and April and the flowers are creamy white. The fruit is a woody urn-shaped capsule long and wide with the valves enclosed in the fruit. The seeds are flattened, dull to semi-glossy and red or red-brown and saucer-shaped. Corymbia jacobsiana has no close relatives. It is solated from all other bloodwoods by the combination of rough stringybark and sparsely hairy juvenile leaves, carpeted on the underside with white hairs. Taxonomy and naming Jacob's bloodwood was first formally described by the botanist William Blakely in 1934 in his book, A Key to the Eucalypts and given the name Eucalyptus jacobsiana. The type specimens were collected by "Dr. M. R. Jacobs" north of Pine Creek in 1933. Jacobs was a distinguished forester and the Principal of the Australian Forestry School in Canberra from 1945 to 1961. Botanists Ken Hill and Lawrie Johnson were the first to define the genus Corymbia in 1995, identifying the bloodwoods, ghost gums and spotted gums as a group distinct from Eucalyptus. They changed the name of this species to Corymbia jacobsiana. Distribution Corymbia jacobsiana occurs throughout the top end of the Northern Territory, usually in monsoonal woodland areas and usually as part of a tropical savannah woodland mix with eucalypts and cypress, growing in sand or clay soils or in dissected sandstone. It has an erratic distribution around Pine Creek, Tipperary Station and further east in Arnhem Land, often found with Corymbia arnhemensis and C. nesophila. The plant's rhizomes allow it to form dense clones following fires, and that later thin out to form woodlands.

"Ding Dong" is the 7th episode of the seventh season of the American television police sitcom series Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and the 137th overall episode of the series. The episode was written by Jess Dweck and directed by Claire Scanlon. It aired on March 12, 2020, on NBC. The show revolves around the fictitious 99th precinct of the New York Police Department in Brooklyn and the officers and detectives that work in the precinct. In this episode, Wuntch dies and Holt is selected to officiate her memorial but this is part of her plan to destroy his career. Meanwhile, Jake must choose between Terry or Boyle to take one to a movie premiere. According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 2.12 million household viewers and gained a 0.6 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received mostly positive reviews from critics, who praised Andre Braugher's performance, writing and ending. Plot The precinct is notified that Commissioner Wuntch (Kyra Sedgwick) has died. Unlike the rest of the precinct, Holt (Andre Braugher) reacts happily to the news until he is sent a last video from Wuntch, who says she wants him to organize her memorial. She did this because high-ranking members of the police are going to attend and she set up Holt to speak honestly (meaning with furious anger) about her in front of them, which would thus damage his career. Holt receives help from Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz) and Amy (Melissa Fumero), with the latter experiencing emotional overdrive, side effects from taking hormones her doctor had prescribed. At the funeral, Holt meets Adam (Michael McDonald), who describes himself as Wuntch's true nemesis, causing Holt to become jealous. The two initially get along but while Holt prepares to make his speech, Adam reveals himself as Wuntch's nephew and plays a video where Holt recites a speech talking crudely about Wuntch. However, Holt reveals that the memorial is not the real one, as he hired the members of local improv troupes to act as NYPD members because he knew Wuntch would have one last trick up her sleeve. At Wuntch's actual memorial, Holt realizes he will actually miss her and that their mutual loathing made them both better officers, and expresses sincere condolences on her passing. Jake (Andy Samberg) says that he has four tickets to the world premiere of Kwazy Kupcakes: The Movie, leading Terry (Terry Crews) and Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio) to try to convince him to take their respective children to the movie. Unsure of whom to choose, Jake has them decide and they both decide to fight in boxing, which ends with both suffering dangerous injuries. This prompts Jake to officially decide: he will take all three children to the movie by himself and leave Terry and Boyle at home, which the two don't end up minding since it means they have a free night away from their kids. In the last scene, Amy reveals to Jake that the side effects she is experiencing were not in her prescriptions so she contacted the doctor. It is then revealed that Amy is in fact pregnant and she and Jake embrace in happiness. Reception Viewers According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 2.12 million household viewers and gained a 0.6 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. This means that 0.6 percent of all households with televisions watched the episode. This was a 16% increase over the previous episode, which was watched by 1.82 million viewers and a 0.6 ratings share. With these ratings, Brooklyn Nine-Nine was the highest rated show on NBC for the night, fifth on its timeslot and ninth for the night, behind Last Man Standing, A Million Little Things, Carol's Second Act, The Unicorn, Mom, Young Sheldon, Station 19, and Grey's Anatomy. Critical reviews "Ding Dong" received mostly positive reviews from critics. LaToya Ferguson of The A.V. Club gave the episode a "B+" rating, writing, "This is a really fast-paced, joke-heavy plot, one that could easily fall apart when it comes to the emotional and storytelling beats. But it doesn't. Andre Braugher deserves plenty of credit for his performance and his uncanny to play and navigate so many beats as such a deadpan character, but Jess Dweck's script also deserves credit for how tight it is when it comes to this plot." Alan Sepinwall of Rolling Stone wrote, "But what made last week's 'Trying' so potent — and inspired a lot of couples who have struggled with fertility issues to thank the show for doing it — was how plainly it acknowledged that conception can be a struggle for a lot of people. Having that struggle end in literally the very next episode undercuts that message a bit, even though 'Trying' took place over a period of six months for our heroes. Even inserting one extra episode between the two scenes would have significantly reduced the feeling that it ultimately wasn't that hard for Amy and Jake to solve this problem." Nick Harley of Den of Geek gave it a 4.5 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "With a just a minor hiccup at the end, 'Ding Dong' was everything you could want out of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Maybe it didn't play with the format like last week's episode, but not every outing needs to reinvent the wheel, so long as it stays true to the characters we love with silly and heartfelt stories."

South Portland is a city in Cumberland County, Maine, United States, and is the fourth-most populous city in the state, incorporated in 1898. At the 2020 census, the city population was 26,498. Known for its working waterfront, South Portland is situated on Portland Harbor and overlooks the skyline of Portland and the islands of Casco Bay. Due to South Portland's close proximity to air, marine, rail, and highway transportation options, the city has become a center for retail and industry in the region. Despite the name, South Portland was never part of the city of Portland, but rather part of Cape Elizabeth. It broke off in 1895. However, both Cape Elizabeth and Portland were once part of Falmouth. Cape Elizabeth, then including what later became South Portland, broke away from Falmouth in 1765. South Portland is a principal city of the Portland–South Portland–Biddeford metropolitan area. History South Portland was first colonized in 1630, and it grew to become a small residential community with many farms. The village was raided by natives in Father Rale's War (1724). In 1858, the City of Portland purchased land near the Fore River for the Forest City Cemetery. On March 15, 1895, it was incorporated as a town after it broke away from Cape Elizabeth, based on a disagreement on a future source of public drinking water. Three years later South Portland became a city, destined to receive its drinking water, like Portland, from Sebago Lake, while Cape Elizabeth used wells or other local sources. On South Portland's waterfront is Fort Preble, which is a military fort established in 1808 to protect Portland Harbor. It was in operation during several American conflicts, including the United States Civil War, World War I, and World War II. Near Fort Preble is Spring Point Ledge Light, which was constructed by the federal government in 1897 to mark a dangerous rock ledge. In December 1844, Portland resident Ellen G. White, who became a founder of the Seventh-day Adventist church, is said to have experienced her first vision during a prayer meeting at the home of Mrs. Haines at 60 Ocean Street, which later became the Griffin Club. The building was torn down in 2018. In 1940, the Todd-Bath Iron Shipbuilding Corp (later called the "East Yard") was established to build cargo ships for Britain. When the United States became involved with World War II, the shipyard expanded to include the South Portland Shipbuilding Corp. (aka the “West Yard”), that later combined with the Todd-Bath yard to become the New England Shipbuilding Corporation. These shipyards built 236 of the 440 foot (134 m) long Liberty ships, more than 10 percent of all the Liberty ships constructed during the war years. At its peak, the shipyard employed some 30,000 people, including thousands of women, who took over the jobs vacated by men going into the service. The shipyard gradually ceased operations after the war ended in 1945. Remnants of the shipyards are visible, and there is a memorial to the shipyard and the workers at Bug Light Park. The park is also home to Portland Breakwater Lighthouse, commonly referred to as "Bug Light". On July 11, 1944, at 4:45 p.m., U.S. Army Lt. Phillip "Phee" Russell was attempting to land his Douglas A-26 Invader at the Portland-Westbrook Municipal Airport. For reasons that were never fully determined, Russell lost control of the plane and crashed into a trailer park in South Portland's Brick Hill neighborhood. Nineteen people were killed and 20 people were injured—mostly the families of South Portland shipyard workers—making it the worst aviation accident in Maine history. A Long Creek Air Tragedy Memorial was eventually erected to commemorate the crash and honor the victims, but not until 66 years later. Over the last few decades, South Portland has become the retail capital of Maine. The Mill Creek shopping center, built in the 1950s, was the first such "strip mall" built in Maine: a line of stores under one long roof and a covered walkway. Mill Creek has changed and grown significantly since, but the original layout still forms the core of the stores. The area in Mill Creek known as the Waterfront Market sits at the base of the Casco Bay Bridge and attracts shoppers from Scarborough, Cape Elizabeth and Portland. The need for a large mall in Maine emerged in the 1960s, as Portland's downtown district could not accommodate the growing retail market. A former pig farm in South Portland was chosen as the site for the project because it was close to I-95 and convenient from Portland. Beginning construction of the Maine Mall in the late 1960s marked the start of a major transition in the western part of South Portland: from a rural, agrarian landscape to the large retail center that exists today. The oldest neighborhood in South Portland, and its former "retail corridor", is Ferry Village. Prior to the Casco Bay Bridge (or the one it replaced, the Million Dollar Bridge), ferries transported people and goods back and forth across the harbor to Portland. The landscape and the makeup of residents in Ferry Village were forever changed upon the close of the WWII shipyards. The Village has slowly bounced back and is now one of the more popular places in the city to live. Ferry Village also has one of the most active and involved neighborhood associations in Southern Maine. The Ferry Village Neighborhood Conservation Association (FVNCA) was formed in August 1985 to address the development boom in the 1980s which was quickly altering the character of the waterfront and many Greater Portland neighborhoods. FVNCA was instrumental in the formation of the South Portland Land Trust as well as the City-managed Land Bank which provides seed money for the acquisition of available open space. After decades of neglect, the westernmost neighborhoods of South Portland, including Redbank and Brick Hill, experienced new growth and revitalization in 2006 with the redevelopment of the former Maine Youth Center site as a mixed-use neighborhood featuring affordable housing, market rate housing, professional offices and outdoor recreational spaces. The redevelopment of the Brick Hill site spurred additional private development nearby in the form of market rate housing, retail and light industry. The city's 2017 West End Master Plan aims to further encourage such development in that area of the city. South Portland was voted one of the best places to live in Maine in 2018. Government and politics South Portland has a council-manager form of government. The city council is made up of seven members elected by the citizens: one member from each of the five districts in the city, and two at-large members. Voters are allowed to vote for council candidates in all five districts, not just the district where they are registered to vote. Every December, the members of the council elect one of themselves as mayor, which is primarily a ceremonial title. The mayor serves as chairman of the council. The city council is responsible for establishing policy, passing local ordinances, voting appropriations, and developing an overall vision for the city. The council appoints a city manager to oversee the daily operations of the government and implement the policies established by the council. The manager is an employee of the city and has a contract that specifies his or her duties and responsibilities. Ideally, the manager is considered apolitical. Elections Voter registration Mayoral controversy In December 2007, then-mayor James Soule made headlines in Maine and across the country when he proposed in his inaugural address that South Portland, along with parts of southern Maine, secede from the state of Maine and form a new state. Soule referred to the state government of Maine as an "oppressive enemy" and said that South Portland, along with other southern Maine cities and towns, contributes much more to the state in tax revenue than it receives in education funding. "The state of Maine needs South Portland more than South Portland needs the state of Maine," Soule claimed. Soule's proposal was panned by the congressional delegation and by Governor Baldacci, whose spokesman called it "silly" and "counterproductive." The proposal did not gain any traction, and Soule did not continue to pursue it. Soule nominated himself for reelection as mayor in November 2008, but was defeated by Thomas Blake in a 6–1 vote. Soule voted for himself. Geography South Portland is bordered by Portland to the north, Cape Elizabeth and Scarborough to the south, and Westbrook to the west. The city is located at .

Dülmen station is one of two operating tower stations (of six that formerly operated) in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It is located in Dülmen in western Münsterland. It is at the crossing of the Wanne-Eickel–Hamburg and the Dortmund–Enschede railways. History The Cologne-Minden Railway Company (, CME) received a concession on 28 May 1866 to build a railway from Wanne to Osnabrück. This would be part of the inter-regional Hamburg–Venlo railway, which in turn would be part of an international Paris–Hamburg railway. On 1 January 1870, the CME started passenger operations on the first section between Wanne station (now Wanne-Eickel Central Station (Hauptbahnhof)) on its trunk line and Münster station (now Münster (Westfalen) Hauptbahnhof) and it opened the first Dülmen station at the same time. Germany and the Netherlands agreed on 13 November 1874 to establish a direct rail link between Enschede and Dortmund. The Dortmund-Gronau-Enschede Railway Company (Dortmund-Gronau-Enscheder Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft, DGE) was established for this purpose and the first section was opened to Lünen station (now Lünen Nord) already on 25 November 1874. Dülmen DGE station was opened half a kilometre northwest of the Cologne-Minden station on 15 June 1875 and a grade-separated crossing was created during the building of the next section of the DGE to Dülmen. On 1 August 1875, the line was extended to the Coesfeld (Westf) station. After the nationalisation of the (nominally) private railway companies and their absorption by the Prussian state railways, Dülmen DGE station was renamed Dülmen Ost (east) station, although it was just west of the Cologne-Minden station. With the construction of a curve north of the station between the two previously independent lines connecting the lines towards Coesfeld and Münster, the station became a junction station in practice. In the 1950s, passengers operations were moved from Dülmen Ost station to a high-level platform built at Dülmen station, so that Dülmen station was now a “tower” station (Turmbahnhof, that is a station with superimposed platforms on two levels). The connecting curve was closed and dismantled in the 1990s. East of the station there was formerly a connecting curve connecting the lines towards Münster and Lünen. This was destroyed in the Second World War and was never rebuilt; the rest of the track is still used as a siding. Neither connecting curves were used for passenger services. The station building that was opened on 20 May 1964 is located on the corner of the intersection that is north of the Wanne-Eickel–Hamburg line and west of the Dortmund–Enschede line. The station building built by the Cologne-Minden Railway Company was demolished in 1977. Train services The station is served by the following services: Local service Rhein-Haard-Express Düsseldorf - Duisburg - Essen - Recklinghausen - Dülmen - Münster Local service Niers-Haard-Express Münster – Haltern am See – Recklinghausen – Gelsenkirchen – Essen – Mülheim – Duisburg – Krefeld – Viersen – Mönchengladbach Local service Westmünsterland-Bahn Enschede - Gronau - Coesfeld - Dülmen - Lünen - Dortmund Notes External links Railway stations in North Rhine-Westphalia Railway stations in Germany opened in 1870 Buildings and structures in Coesfeld (district)
Quad City Downs was a horse race track in East Moline. The track ran live harness races from the mid 1970s through the early 1990s. The track originally opened under the name "East Moline Downs" (EMD). After financial difficulties in the first few years of operation, the track reorganized under the name Quad City Downs (QCD). The track ran simulcasts live Thoroughbred and Harness racing from tracks across the country until January 31, 2015 when the track was permanently closed. Recent history In 2012 the Illinois House passed a bill which allowed slot machines to operate in the facility. Some hopefuls thought the gambling expansion would bring live racing back to the track. It was announced on January 9, 2015 that Quad City Downs would close by the end of the month. The primary reason cited was competition by legal slot machines in Illinois bars and restaurants. The Quad City Downs closed on January 31, 2015 References External links Sports venues in the Quad Cities Defunct horse racing venues in Illinois 1973 establishments in Illinois 2015 disestablishments in Illinois
The BSA Lightning Rocket was a Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA) motorcycle made in Birmingham. A highly-tuned version of the BSA A65R Rocket, it was BSA's bid to capture the potentially lucrative USA export market in the mid-1960s. Twin Amal 389/206 carburetors and high-compression pistons, combined with an optional close-ratio gearbox, gave lively acceleration. Sharing many A65 cycle parts, the Lightning Rocket had a slimmer fuel tank and mudguards, with additional chrome. From 1965, the A65 was discontinued in the UK and the BSA A65L Lightning became the main BSA production twin.

Sharpe's Battle is the twelfth historical novel in the Richard Sharpe series by Bernard Cornwell, first published in 1995. The story is set during the Peninsular War in Spain in 1811. Plot summary While lost near the Spanish-Portuguese border, Sharpe and his company surprise a group of French soldiers in unusual grey uniforms, caught in the act of raping a teenage Spanish villager. They kill some Frenchmen and take two prisoner. During a parlay, their leader, Brigadier-General Guy Loup, offers to give Sharpe safe passage in exchange for the men, but Sharpe, appalled by the rape and massacre of the other villagers, including children, orders the prisoners shot. (Loup reveals that he counters the atrocities committed by Spanish guerrillas by having his men commit more heinous ones.) Loup swears to avenge them. Back at headquarters, Sharpe is informed by Major Michael Hogan that the Real Compania Irlandesa, the royal bodyguard of the captive King of Spain, have been sent to join Wellesley's forces. As the British wish for Wellesley to be appointed Generalissimo of the Spanish Armies, it is imperative that the unwanted soldiers be treated with honour, though they are composed of Irish exiles and their descendants (who have no love for the British due to their occupation of Ireland) and have no combat experience. Wellesley assigns Sharpe to encourage them to desert by taking them to a fort close to the French and drilling them mercilessly. There Sharpe also has to deal with former Wagon Master-General Colonel Claude Runciman, a grossly fat and indolent man. Pierre Ducos, a French intelligence officer answering to Napoleon himself, has planted an agent within the Compania Irlandesa, Dona Juanita de Elia, a Spanish noblewoman, the mistress both of the unit's commander, Lord Kiely, and of Loup. False rumours of British atrocities in Ireland, backed up by forged American newspapers, target not only the Compania, but also the many Irishmen in the British army. Despite knowing Wellesley's intentions, Sharpe decides to turn the demoralised exiles into real soldiers. He persuades Runciman to divert arms and ammunition to the Compania, and conspires with a local partisan, El Castrador, to kill and mutilate some deserters, making it look like the French are responsible, to deter further desertions. The Compania are joined at the fort by a Portuguese infantry battalion. Sharpe, concerned by the threat posed by Loup's personal vendetta against him, acknowledges his illegal execution of Loup's men to a few officers. That night, Loup attacks the fort, massacres the Portuguese, and is only driven off when Sharpe's friend, Tom Garrard, sacrifices himself to blow up the ammunition wagons. Sharpe's carelessly public admission and the imminent enquiry into the disaster endanger his career. Wellesley, though reluctant, is willing to make him a scapegoat to conciliate the Portuguese. To avoid this, Sharpe attacks Loup's hideout but finds it deserted, except for Dona Juanita, who is exposed as the enemy agent, and courier of the forged newspapers. Sharpe sleeps with Juanita, and lets her go the following morning, thus frustrating Hogan's hopes of uncovering her accomplice in the Compania. The disgraced Kiely commits suicide, and his funeral is presided over by the regiment's chaplain, Father Sarsfield. In a private conversation over the open grave, Hogan informs Sarsfield that he is aware of his treachery, but lacks proof. Sarsfield attempts to kill Hogan, but is shot by Sharpe, and buried with Kiely. The French, led by Marshal André Masséna, prepare to cut the British off from their only route of retreat and bring Wellesley to battle. Wellington concentrates his forces at the village of Fuentes de Onoro. Still in disgrace, Sharpe, Runciman and the Real Compania Irlandesa are assigned to guard the ammunition wagons. French assaults push the British out of the village and steadily back up a hill. Wellington releases his reserves, who drive the French back into the village. However, the British are in turn counter-attacked by the Loup Brigade. With Sharpe's encouragement, Runciman "offers" to throw the Compania into the fray. They turn the tide of battle; as the Loup Brigade falters, the French fall back, and Wellington sends his men forward, winning the battle. During the fighting, Loup and Sharpe duel in the ford over the river. Sharpe is shot and wounded by the Dona Juanita, who is in turn killed by Harper. Despite his wound, Sharpe disarms and drowns Loup. The Real Compania Irlandese are sent to the Spanish Junta in Cadiz with honour. The case against Sharpe and Runciman is dropped, in light of their bravery and the deaths of all eyewitnesses to Sharpe's admission other than Runciman, who lies on Sharpe's behalf. References to other novels Loup pleaded for the lives of his men in much the same way that Sharpe has done in previous novels. Vengeance is not a characteristic lacking in Sharpe. Garrard and Sharpe met in Sharpe's Tiger in the ranks. They both stayed in the army, but Garrard enlisted in the Portuguese Army where he was promoted to captain. We see the contrast between the reluctance of the British Army to have commissioned officers from the ranks, while the Portuguese army encourages the practice. Had Sharpe enlisted in the Portuguese army, he would likely have been a Major, instead of a captain. As it was Sharpe and Harper who blew up the magazine in Almeida in Sharpe's Gold, Garrard's selfless act is an interesting twist. After engaging in a scuffle in Loup's bedroom, Sharpe and Juanita have sex. She steals Perkins' jacket before she leaves the hideout. Perkins, a teenage Rifleman, is featured in the television series but this is the first novel (as written; second, per historical sequence) where he appears. In the first Sharpe novel written, Sharpe's Eagle, Cornwell features a teenage Rifleman named Pendleton (who dies at Talavera). In this novel, set two years after Talavera, Pendleton is again mentioned. This is likely a mistake by Cornwell, who has admitted not to have re-read "Eagle". In a similar vein, the earlier novel Sharpe's Rifles had featured a rifleman named Cooper who was killed during the retreat to Corunna. The character survived and became a recurring character in the television adaptations and reappears in this novel (and others set after Corunna) without any explanation. In a further nod to the television series, the novel is dedicated to Sean Bean who portrays Sharpe. Runciman never appears in any subsequent book and we are told was sent to England to become commander of the Militia. Film and TV adaptations This novel was dramatised on ITV in 1995 and is a relatively faithful adaptation of the novel. Ducos and Sarsfield do not appear in the film and Lord Kiely has a wife. The plot remains largely the same with regard to the French circulating newspapers describing imaginary massacres in Ireland by British troops in the hope that Irish soldiers will desert. Major Munro clearly reprises the role of Major Hogan in the novel. The film ends with the destruction of the Loup Brigade and does not deal with the events of Fuentes de Onoro. Kiely is killed by Loup in the film, rather than committing suicide; also Rifleman Perkins dies, while in the book he survives.

Michael T. Seiler (born June 18, 1967) is a former District Judge in Texas who resigned from the bench on February 15, 2016 in order to avoid criminal prosecution for the solicitation of former juror support in his 2016 reelection bid. Bias in civil commitment program Seiler was the judge appointed to oversee the civil commitment program in Texas and all repeat sex offenders were tried for civil commitment in his court. His bias on the issue was well documented and he was forced to recuse himself from several cases. Additionally, Seiler was reprimanded by the Texas state Commission on Judicial Conduct and stripped of his role as the sole judge to oversee the civil commitment program in Texas. BallotPedia wrote that "On April 24, 2015, Seiler was publicly reprimanded by the Texas Commission on Judicial Conduct for his conduct and behavior towards attorneys representing sex offenders in his courtroom. Specifically, the commission found that Seiler "engaged in numerous instances in which he treated attorneys from the State Counsel for Offenders office, as well as one of their expert witnesses, in a manner that was less than patient, dignified and courteous. Resignation from the Bench in Lieu of Criminal Prosecution Seiler was forced to resign from his seat on the bench in February 2016 to avoid prosecution for contacting former jurors of his court to support him in his contested reelection bid. Current Law Practice Seiler currently practices law in The Woodlands, Texas. Although he was forced to resign as a sitting judge, he still advertises himself as "Judge Seiler." His website states the following: Seiler's webpage fails to disclose that he was forced to resign in lieu of prosecution. Also, despite being forced to resign, he still holds himself out as "Judge" Seiler References 1967 births Living people Texas state court judges Creighton University School of Law alumni
Time base correction (TBC) is a technique to reduce or eliminate errors caused by mechanical instability present in analog recordings on mechanical media. Without time base correction, a signal from a videotape recorder (VTR) or videocassette recorder (VCR) cannot be mixed with other, more time-stable devices found in television studios and post-production facilities. Most broadcast quality VCRs have simple time base correctors built in though external TBCs are often used. Some high-end domestic analog video recorders and camcorders also include a TBC circuit, which typically can be switched off if required. Time base correction counteracts errors by buffering the video signal as it comes off the videotape at an unsteady rate, and releasing it at a steady rate. TBCs also allow a variable delay in the video stream. By adjusting the rate and delay using a waveform monitor and a vectorscope, the corrected signal can now match the timing of the other devices in the system. If all of the devices in a system are adjusted so their signals meet the video switcher at the same time and at the same rate, the signals can be mixed. A single master clock or sync generator provides the reference for all of the devices' clocks. Video correction As far back as 1956, professional reel-to-reel audio tape recorders relying on mechanical stability alone were stable enough that pitch distortion could be below audible level without time base correction. However, the higher sensitivity of video recordings meant that even the best mechanical solutions still resulted in detectable distortion of the video signals and difficulty locking to downstream devices. A video signal consists of picture information but also sync and subcarrier signals which allow the image to be framed up square on the monitor, reproduce colors accurately and, importantly, allow the combination and switching of two or more video signals. Types Physically there are only 4 types, dedicated IC, add-in cards for prosumer/professorial VTR/VCRs, desktop standalone units & dedicated rack mount units. In the broadcast world, 1U Rack-mount type time base correctors were common & intended to be easily slid out of a rack on rails to be serviced, as these units were meant for 24/7 workloads and typically contained little to no SMD hardware, only operator serviceable through-hole electronics, making these units a substantially heavy device. Software Time Base Correction A modern 5th and final type of TBC being achieved in the late 2010s is software defined, packaged inside the open source python based VHS-Decode & CVBS-Decode projects which evolved from the LD-Decode project which uses FM RF captures of analouge media signals then de-modulates and corrects the signal in software. This introduced the .TBC file format a lossless 4fsc digital format not dissembler to D-2 & D-3 videotape storing uncompressed composite/s-video (combined or Luminance/Chrominance separated) analog video signals in 16-bit unsigned grey scale values these can be opened inside the open source ld-analyse for frame by frame analysis, closed captioning & VITC timecode readout these files can even be played back to analouge TV systems via a DAC or more commonly chroma-decoded and then encoded to a lossless compressed FFV1 .mkv video file via FFMPEG for archival and further processing. Sampling Rate: 4fsc PAL (17727262 Hz) Sampling NTSC: 4fsc NTSC (14118181 Hz) Data Rate PAL: CVBS 2.1GB/min 35MB/s (280mbps) Y+C 4.2GB/min 70MB/s (560mbps) Data Rate NTSC: CVBS 1.7GB/min 28.33MB/s (226.5mbps) Y+C 3.4GB/min 56.66MB/s (453mbps) Methods Implicit in the idea of time base correction is that there must be some target time base that the corrector is aiming for. There are two time bases commonly used. The first method is to make the frames, fields and lines come out smoothly and uniformly, at the rates specified by the standards using an oscillator for time reference. The alternative to this method is to align the frames, fields, and lines with some external signal, a procedure called genlocking. Genlocking allows sources that are not themselves genlock-capable to be used with production switchers and A/B roll editing equipment. Stand-alone broadcast model time base correctors typically will genlock the signal to an external sync reference, and also allow the brightness, contrast, chrominance, and color phase (tint or hue) to be adjusted. Some TBCs featured a Drop Out Compensation (DOC) circuit that enabled videotape flaws caused by oxide drop-out to be temporarily corrected. The DOC circuit required dedicated cabling between the videotape player and the TBC in which irregularities were detected in portions of the video image. Previously captured and stored lines of video would then be superimposed over the flawed video lines. A variant of the time base corrector is the which allows devices that cannot be steered by a sync signal to also be time base corrected or timed into a system. Satellites, microwave transmitters and other broadcast signals as well as consumer VTRs cannot be sent a sync signal. The synchronizer accomplishes this by writing the incoming digital video into a frame buffer memory using the timing of the sync information contained in that video signal. A frame synchronizer stores at least a full frame of video. Simultaneously the digital video is being read back out of the buffer by an independent timing system that is genlocked to the house timing reference. If the buffer over or underfills, the Frame Sync will hold the last good frame of video until another full frame's worth of video is received. Usually, this is undetectable to viewers.

The Wales Site, whose principal component is the Kurigitavik mound, is a well-documented archeological site on the Cape Prince of Wales, near Wales, Alaska. This site has artifacts from the Birnirk culture as well as the first discovery in Alaska of the later Thule culture. The site was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1962 for its archaeological significance. Description The Wales site is located on the south shore of the Seward Peninsula of northwestern Alaska, very near Cape Prince of Wales, the westernmost point in North America. The area is archaeologically sensitive, with a significant number of sites clustered in an area between the native village of Wales and the former Tin City Air Force Station. The Kurigitavik Mound (whose most recent survey designation is TEL-079) has been the focus of significant archaeological activity since the 1920s, when it was first examined by the pioneering Canadian anthropologist Diamond Jenness. It was again excavated by Henry B. Collins of the Smithsonian Institution in the 1930s, and by Don Dumond in the 1970s. Most recently it has been the subject of an extensive investigation by Roger B. Harritt, beginning in the late 1990s and extending into the 2000s. Finds at the site have included nearly complete partially subterranean house structures, including one in which seemingly ritualistically placed walrus skulls were found. Tools found at the site include barbed harpoon heads and bowls fashioned from baleen in a layer dated to the Punuk period (c. 800-1400 CE). The site is significant because it appears to include shifting cultural uses over time, between cultural groups engaged in different practices and originating either from other parts of Alaska or from Siberia. The site was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1962 for its archaeological significance, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966.

The Naval Communications Station Irirangi of the Royal New Zealand Navy, which is 2 km south of Waiouru and near the Waiouru Army Camp, was established in World War II (1943) as the Waiouru W/T (Wireless Telegraph) Station. Its location, in the middle of the North Island, put it far away from the sea. The station was commissioned in July 1943, and at the peak period of the war had an establishment of about 150 personnel, of whom more than eighty were women, many from the Women's Royal New Zealand Naval Service. Tens of thousands of code groups were handled each day, mostly for the British Pacific Fleet in Japanese waters. A dozen or more circuits were manned simultaneously and teleprinter land lines fed the signals to the Navy Office in Wellington. In 1951 the station was designated HMNZS Irirangi. ("Irirangi is a Māori-language word, meaning "spirit voice".) In the late 1980s the equipment was modernised, and in October 1991 a feasibility study into the remote controlling of all facilities from the Devonport Naval Base was completed. The Chief of Naval Staff issued a directive that "the remoting of Irirangi is to be implemented forthwith." Irirangi was decommissioned on 20 May 1993. The Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) is now responsible for signals intelligence, with a radio communications intercept station at Tangimoana and a satellite communications intercept station at Waihopai. The previous functions of Irirangi are now carried out by a small contingent of Naval maintenance staff.

Career Stadtman started his career as a research assistant in the Division of Plant Nutrition of the University of California. Subsequently he was an Atomic Energy Commission Fellow with Fritz Lipmann in the Massachusetts General Hospital, but after 1960 he worked at the National Heart Institute, where he became chief of the Laboratory of Biochemistry. In addition, he spent sabbatical periods at the Max Planck Institute in Munich and the Pasteur Institute in Paris. Personal life In 1944 Earl Stadtman married Thressa Campbell, also a distinguished scientist, the discoverer of selenocysteine. They had no children during their marriage of more than sixty years. Research Stadtman's research covered a wide field. Early in his career he worked with Horace Barker on bacterial fatty-acid synthesis, with a series of four papers. In the same period he collaborated with Fritz Lipmann on the function of coenzyme A. Later his work took on a more enzymological character, with investigation of, for example, aldehyde dehydrogenase, aspartate kinase, work carried out during a period in the laboratory of Georges Cohen in France and, most notably, glutamine synthetase, an enzyme that will always be associated with his name. From the 1970s onwards Stadtman published many papers with P. Boon Chock on the capacity of cycles of interconvertible enzymes, based especially on his results with glutamine synthetase, to generate very high sensitivity to effectors. Editorial work Stadtman was active as an editor of numerous prominent journals, including the Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1960–1965, Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1960–1969; Annual Review of Biochemistry, 1972–2000; Biochemistry, 1969–1976; Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1974–1981; Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 1975–1978. He was (with Bernard Horecker) founding editor of Current Topics in Cellular Regulation,'' a major series in the subject, and continued in the role up to volume 23 (1984).

Grace Church is an Episcopal church at 193 Genesee Street in Utica, New York, which was established in 1838. History The establishing of Grace Church began in the spring of 1838 as an extension of the venerable Mother Parish of the city, Trinity Church. A group of twenty parish members wrote to their then Rector, the Rev. Pierre A. Proal, with the intention of organizing a new parish and requested his canonical consent. The first service was held on May 21, 1838 at 215 Genesee Street , in an upper room of a house located in the parish, and was accordingly organized under the name of Grace Church, Utica. The first church was constructed at the corner of Broadway and Columbia Streets in 1839, and the first service was conducted in the new building in August of that year. For the next 21 years this was the location of Grace Church. Its organist from 1923 to 1932 was Norman Coke-Jephcott. The cornerstone of the church was set on July 10, 1856. The construction project faced financial difficulties and by September 1859, it seemed as if the church would never be completed. Through the persistence and experience of Rev. John J. Brandegee, the church's third rector, he was able to procure enough funding to complete the construction and pay the mortgage. The first service was held in the new church on May 20, 1860, and by Easter Day, 1864, the $30,000 mortgage was finally paid. The church had a long history for its mission to outreach to the neighboring community, but dwindling resources and a shrinking congregation brought the painful realization that the few remaining faithful could no longer hold the parish together. The last rector to serve there was the Rev. David Hopkins, who left in July, 1994. In little time, the vestry agreed to merge with Grace Church, and held the final service on November 20, 1994. The following week later on November 27, 1994, the first Sunday of Advent, the people of Calvary Church were welcomed as members of the Grace Church congregation. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.

Chengguan (; ) synonymously referred to as Chamdo or Qamdo is a major town in the historical region of Kham in the eastern Tibet Autonomous Region of China. The seat of Karub District and Chamdo Prefecture, it is Tibet's third largest city after Lhasa and Shigatse with a population of 45,861 in 2010. It is located about east of Lhasa. By road, the distance is via the southern route or via the northern route. It is at an altitude of at the confluence of the rivers Za Qu and Ngom Qu which form the Lancang River (Mekong). Historically, Chamdo was a hub of the Tea Horse Road, leading from Sichuan to Bengal via the Nathu La pass. At the turn of the 20th century it had a population of about 12,000, a quarter of whom were monks. Galden Jampaling Monastery Chengguan was visited by Je Tsongkhapa in 1373 who suggested a monastery be built there. Galden Jampaling Monastery was constructed between 1436 and 1444 by a disciple of Tsongkhapa, Jansem Sherab Zangpo. It is also known as the Changbalin or Qiangbalin Si Monastery. At its height it contained five main temples and housed some 2,500 monks. It was destroyed in 1912 but the main hall (which was used as a prison) and two other buildings survived, and it was rebuilt in 1917 after the Tibetan army retook Chengguan. It now houses about 800 monks. Climate Chengguan experiences a climate that is a transition between a humid continental and subtropical highland climate (Köppen Dwb and Cwb), with warm, wet summers and very dry, frosty winters. The monthly 24-hour average temperature ranges from in January to in July, with an annual mean of . Due to the high elevation, the diurnal temperature variation is large throughout the year, averaging annually.

Mario Bernardo (22 February 1919 – 10 February 2019) was an Italian cinematographer and former partisan. Biography A member of the Alpini corps in South Tyrol, Bernardo came back to his parents' house in Bieno and joined the partisan Gramsci Brigade after the Armistice of Cassibile, fighting the nazi fascists on the Dolomites under the name of Radiosa Aurora (Radiant Aurora) as a member of the Italian Communist Party. After the end of World War II, Bernardo became chief of the Police in Trento, contributing to the foundation of the Trento's division of National Association of Italian Partisans.

Mongolia sent a delegation to compete at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway from 12–27 February 1994. The Mongolian delegation consisted of a single short track speed skater Batchuluuny Bat-Orgil. He competed in two events, where he finished the 500 metres event in 24th place and the 1000 metres competition in 29th position. Background The Mongolian National Olympic Committee was recognized by the International Olympic Committee on 1 January 1962, and the nation entered Olympic competition soon after, talking part in both the 1964 Winter and Summer Olympics. Mongolia has only missed two Olympic Games since, the 1976 Winter Olympics; and the 1984 Summer Olympics as the Mongolians joined in the Soviet-led boycott of the Games in Los Angeles. Lillehammer was Mongolia's seventh appearance at a Winter Olympics. The 1994 Winter Olympics were held from 12–27 February 1994; a total of 1,737 athletes representing 67 National Olympic Committees took part. Batchuluuny Bat-Orgil, a short-track speed skater, was the only competitor Mongolia sent to Lillehammer. He was selected as the flag-bearer for the opening ceremony. Competitors The following is the list of number of competitors in the Games. Short track speed skating Batchuluuny Bat-Orgil was 24 years old at the time of the Lillehammer Olympics, and was making his only Olympic appearance. He entered two events: the 500 metres and the 1000 metres. The 1000 metres race was held on 22 February, and he was drawn into heat one, which he finished in a time of 1 minute and 40.41 seconds, which was fourth and last in his heat. Only the top two from each heat were allowed to advance, and as a result Batchuluuny was eliminated. The gold medal was won by Kim Ki-hoon of South Korea, the silver was won by his fellow South Korean Chae Ji-hoon, and the bronze by Marc Gagnon of Canada. The 500 metres race was held from 24–26 February, and Batchuluuny was drawn into heat four. He finished the heat in 48.63 seconds, third out of three finishers in his heat, but only the top two in each heat were allowed to advance, and he was eliminated. Based on his heat time, he was classified as 24th place out of 31 competitors. The gold medal was eventually won by Chae Ji-hoon of South Korea, the silver was taken by Mirko Vuillermin of Italy, and the bronze medal was won by Nicky Gooch of Great Britain.

Impatiens namchabarwensis (blue diamond impatiens) is a 40–50 cm tall plant, native to the Himalaya. It is an annual plant, although it may live for several years in mild climates that do not freeze in winter. This new species was discovered in the Namcha Barwa canyon in Tibet in the summer of 2003 by Yuan Yong-Ming and Ge Xue-Jun. It was growing at an elevation of 930 m in a very limited area. Stems are much branched, slightly woody at base; lower stems decumbent, often rooting at nodes. Flowers are bright ultramarine blue, with small white markings at center and yellow in throat. It has explosive seedpods, like the other species of the family Balsaminaceae. Seeds are brown when ripe, ca. 1 mm. The scientific name is sometimes misspelled as "Impatiens namchabawensis".

Alesis Digital Audio Tape (ADAT) is a magnetic tape format used for the recording of eight digital audio tracks onto the same S-VHS tape used by consumer VCRs. Although it is a tape-based format, the term ADAT now refers to its successor, the Alesis ADAT HD24, which features hard disk recording rather than the traditional tape-based ADAT, which in turn is now considered obsolete. History Alesis announced the product at the NAMM Show in Anaheim, California in January 1991, with the first ADAT recorders shipping over a year later in February or March 1992. More audio tracks could be recorded by synchronizing up to 16 ADAT machines together, for a total of 128 tracks. While synchronization had been available in earlier machines, ADAT machines were the first to do so with sample-accurate timing, which in effect allowed a studio owner to purchase a 24-track tape machine eight tracks at a time. This capability and its comparatively low cost, originally introduced at $3995, were largely responsible for the rise of project studios in the 1990s. Several versions of the ADAT machine were produced. The original ADAT (also known as Blackface) and the ADAT XT recorded 16 bits per sample (ADAT Type I). A later generation of machines—the XT-20, LX-20 and M-20—supports 20 bits per sample (ADAT Type II). All ADAT machines use the same high-quality S-VHS tape media. Tapes recorded in the older Type I format can be read and written in the more modern machines, but not the other way around. Later generations record at two sample rates, 44.1 and 48 kHz, common in the audio industry. Pitch control is available by varying the sample rate, and thus tape speed accordingly. With locate points it was possible to store sample-exact positions on tape, making it easy to find specific parts of digital recordings. Using auto play and auto record functions made it possible to punch in/out at predetermined points, rather than relying on human timing ability to start and stop recording at precisely the right instant. ADAT machines could be controlled externally with the Alesis LRC (Little Remote Control), which could be attached to the ADAT with a 1/4" tip/sleeve plug, and featured the transport controls and most commonly used functions. Alternatively, the BRC (Big Remote Control) could be used, which included many more features which the stand-alone ADAT did not have.

Hustle is a British television comedy-drama series made by Kudos Film & Television for BBC One in the United Kingdom. Michael Stone Michael Stone, (Played by Adrian Lester) who uses the alias Mickey Bricks, was the show's principal character from Series 1 to 3 and 5 to 8. Mickey is a professional grifter who makes money by setting up long cons. He is intelligent, charismatic and quick-witted. Although he works with Albert Stroller, who is one of his mentors, Mickey is the leader of his "crew" (team) of grifters. Mickey did not return in the fourth series, instead he led a con off-screen in Australia. He later, however, returned in the fifth. Background Mickey has a strong dislike of being told what to do or having a job. These feelings appear to stem from his childhood. In series one, he revealed that his father was an ordinary, law-abiding citizen whose only dream was to retire when he was 60, until he dropped dead of natural causes three days before his 60th birthday. Having watched his father play by the rules all his life and being destroyed, he has a strong hatred of people who simply use the system to make themselves rich at the expense of others. Mickey therefore always selects marks whom he has reason to dislike; by making his motive personal, he stops himself from ever making the con about the money. The gang states that their first rule is, "You can't cheat an honest man," not simply because they should not, but since those being conned are greedy and dishonest, they are less likely to over-analyse anything that would make them rich. In that sense, Mickey is not hypocritical because he does not steal from "old ladies"; all his marks are either blatantly dishonest or simply coldly dismissive of others – he stole a man's credit card after hearing him attempt to convince his staff to only pay Eastern Europeans £2.50 an hour. On at least two occasions he has also masterminded cons where innocent people gain more than the gang themselves (Although the gang still made a profit). At the same time, however, Mickey has no qualms with staying in hotels without paying or doing anything about his bar tab. Career Most people consider Mickey to be one of the finest grifters alive. He has never been charged with grifting (his only incarceration was for a completely non-related crime – assault on his ex-wife's boyfriend with a baseball bat). He has three weaknesses – loyalty, his extraordinary ego, and his hatred of being told what to do by anyone. He is a unique con artist because he does not think like a normal person; it is impossible to second-guess him. He gives the impression of being spontaneous, but everything is planned and precise. He puts together complicated and seemingly unrelated events, impossible to unravel, but all related to the big con. He greatly enjoys high stakes. He has attempted several grifts – such as trying to con an amnesic who saw through their first con before he lost his memory by 're-doing' the original scam, or using the same con on four different marks at once – simply because people say that it is impossible. He often removes things from people's pockets and on one occasion drives off in a gentleman's car after convincing him he is a valet, but he frequently insists he is "not a thief". His cons often reflect this, as on several occasions he makes it appear as if a theft has taken place when the "stolen" objects are simply hidden or moved. Personal life In addition to his crew, Mickey is also friends with various other grifters. However, he does not seem to have any non-grifter friends, although he was married once. He has previously stated that as a grifter you should never have "anything in your life that you can't walk away from in a second". His marriage ended after his wife had an affair. Mickey beat up the man responsible and was sent to prison for three years, returning to the streets in the first episode. Several episodes have suggested a past relationship with fellow team member Stacie Monroe. In the episode, "A Touch of Class", Mickey breaks one of his cardinal rules by having an affair with the target of a con, which resulted in the con going awry and the wrong victim being hit when the original mark tricks them into going after an innocent man. Later on, Mickey appears to be rather taken with newcomer, Emma Kennedy, flirting with her on occasion. However, after Sean Kennedy, Emma's brother shows hostility toward Mickey concerning his intentions towards his sister, Mickey reviews their relationship. Mickey and Emma decide that continuing would only cause problems, so they end it. Despite this, references to the feelings they had or still have are made until the very end of the series. Departure In Series 4, Mickey had left to take part in a con in Australia to sell the Sydney Opera House. Danny Blue took over as leader, with Billy Bond filling the resulting gap. Mickey appeared to call Danny at the end of the Series Four Finale, but the audience never saw Mickey; they heard Danny say "Sorry, bit busy, can I call you back?" and then hang up. (Much to the annoyance of the group, as they were currently stuck on a sinking inflatable raft and thought that Mickey might have been able to suggest something useful.) Return The con in Australia succeeds but Mickey loses the money while attempting to escape the police. After stealing the uniform of a Naval Commander, Mickey returns to the UK where he discovers his team has split up and has gone their separate ways. He then manages to bring the remaining members of the team – Ash Morgan and Albert Stroller, although Albert briefly served as an occasional advisor while in prison – back together, aided by new members Emma and Sean, to help him start a new string of cons within the city of London. At the show's conclusion, he retires after faking his death to escape with his share of almost 10 million pounds his last mark was tricked into investing on the London Stock Exchange. Ashley Morgan Ashley Morgan, (played by Robert Glenister) known simply as Ash to his own crew, and "Three Socks" Morgan to the wider grifting circle, is a seasoned grifter, and the team's "fixer". He got the nickname while serving an 18-month prison sentence when a short-con known as 'The Flop' he pulled on an insurance broker went wrong. While in prison, he would 'go into the shower with 3 socks', suggesting he is a well endowed man. Ash is prone to talk about the working man and people making an honest living. As a "fixer", it is Ash's role to ensure to get anything the team needs to carry out a con. He possesses considerable technical expertise and can hack into CCTV, security systems, phone lines and computer servers. He is also tasked with building websites to convince marks of the legitimacy of any fake business and will fabricate any props and small electronic gadgets, such as bugs and phone taps. His failures are few and cause his friends some surprises when they occur. He also has many contacts for more general items, from fake IDs and forged items to cars and hotel rooms. In Series 4, the gang needed £30,000 worth of roubles in order to con a caviar shop owner. The mark was having trouble getting that amount anywhere, whereas Ash felt insulted that Danny even asked if he could locate them at short notice. As well as being the fixer, Ash is an excellent grifter in general, able to play the part of various characters easily. Despite being mild-mannered, he also acts as the team's "heavy", intimidating others with considerable menace. It has been hinted in several episodes that Ash was "tasty" (slang for a good fighter) in his younger days, and often the threat of him becoming violent is enough to defuse situations where the team need protection. It was revealed in one episode that Ash was one of two candidates for Mickey's Fixer, the other being a notorious grifter called Benny. However, although Benny was the more skilled grifter, capable of playing other roles such as the roper, Mickey chose Ash because he was a better team player who would keep his word. Although his age gives the impression that he is the second-most-experienced team member, Ash has stated more than once that he is not interested in leadership, recognising his niche and remaining within that area even when the group votes for a new leader during Mickey's absence. In the absence of a leader, Ash ends up running short cons rather than assembling a team of his own. Even when he was temporarily put in charge, he tended to subtly rely on Mickey for inspiration rather than exclusively coming up with his own idea. He often falls back on using a skull fracture he obtained in a bar room brawl many years ago to play a con known as "The Flop". He steps out in front of careless drivers, gets hit and acts badly injured, wearing a padded coat to avoid real damage. A hospital x-ray then shows the fracture and the driver's insurance pays out. His ex-wife June also used to perform the con, but eventually suffered brain damage from the impacts. Ash gives a lot of his earnings to funding her treatment. When the gang heard about this, they decided to all contribute to her medical expenses. He gives his date of birth as 21 July 1960, and in the final episode states that he has known Mickey for around 20 years. He is the only character to appear in every episode. Albert Stroller Played by Robert Vaughn. Albert is an elderly American who acts as the group roper; his role is to identify targets ("marks") and lead them to the inside man. His distinctive style exudes the kind of dignified professionalism that wealthy, unsuspecting marks trust implicitly, making him the ideal man to rope them in for the serious score. As a result, he is a member of numerous establishments where the very wealthy can be found – private gentlemen's clubs, casinos, top hotels and restaurants are regular haunts for Albert and his targets. He is friends with many wealthy people under numerous aliases. Albert was Mickey's mentor for long cons; his lessons encouraged Mickey to develop his eye for detail. He is a master of cold reading – a technique often used by mentalists, fortune tellers, psychics, and mediums to determine details about another person in order to convince them that the reader knows much more about a subject than they do. Even without prior knowledge, a practised cold reader can quickly obtain a great deal of information about the subject by carefully analyzing body language, clothing or fashion, hairstyle, and manner of speech. This ability helps Albert get close to his marks quickly. Although born in America, he was stationed in North London during World War II, where he fell madly in love with a local girl, Lily Cooper. A few weeks later, he had to evacuate the base and didn't have the time to get word to Lily. He wrote her a letter and posted it as soon as he could, but received no reply. After the war, he came back to London to look for her, only to see her at the church as she was getting married. He fled from the United States in the 1970s. Originally, he was a shoe salesman in the Midwest until the workforce was laid off. To secure a decent redundancy package, Albert conned the company out of $60,000 and shared it among his former co-workers. He reputedly enjoyed the experience so much that he became a grifter and moved to Las Vegas to work the marks there by day, and the casinos at night. However, soon all the casinos became wise to the grifters and banned them from even entering their premises. Albert left for the UK shortly afterwards. One of his partners-in-crime in Las Vegas was Joey Pepper, and together they would work the Shoe-switch scam. However, Joey was once caught doing the switch and was almost killed by the Casino security. At one point, he fell in love with a woman called Susan, to the extent that they were planning to get a house together, but Susan left after Albert lost the money they had raised in a card game. When Susan reappeared years later, she revealed that she had discovered that she was pregnant with Albert's child shortly after leaving him, but never returned because she didn't think that Albert's lifestyle was suitable for a child, and she did not want Albert to change for her sake. Albert was reunited with Susan and their daughter Kathleen at the end of the seventh series – where he also learned that he had grandchildren – but he missed a chance to say goodbye when he got caught up in a poker game to celebrate the gang's latest victory. He was "out-grifted" once by Victor Maher, before joining with Mickey Bricks and the rest of the crew. However, he had spoken about Maher to Mickey before Maher turns up in Series 1 Episode 4 trying to out-grift Mickey. He cannot go to Indonesia as he sold the air force some fighter jets in the '70s, and they still haven't arrived. Stroller is a habitual gambler; he is also a habitual card cheat. These two habits combined have proven to be a weakness. During the first series, he was hospitalized after receiving a severe beating after being caught cheating by a casino owner. During the second series, he briefly dealt with a bout of depression after the death of a close friend caused him to question his own lifestyle. In the fifth series premiere, it was revealed that Albert was serving two years in prison for cheating in a casino, but he stated that he was enjoying the rest, and set Mickey and Ash up with new team members Emma and Sean Kennedy (albeit by setting them up so that each duo thought they were conning the other as a mark), subsequently being released several months early on parole for good behaviour after the team manipulated a judge into thinking Albert knew the location of a lost treasure, while Albert himself conned an unsympathetic member of the parole board into releasing him. His birthdate is 3 June 1933, however, this may not be true as previously mentioned he was stationed in London during WW2 which would make him 12 years old in 1945. Danny Blue Played by Marc Warren. Background & joining the crew Danny grew up in a family of career criminals; when he was 17, his uncle used him as a lookout while he and his crew robbed a casino in Windsor. They cleaned the place out. It was a professional job and they took the CCTV tapes with them. Although after watching them go in and out of prison throughout his youth he ran away, determined not to go straight, but to be a better criminal. Escaping to London, he became a master "dip", then moved up to the short con and mastered that as well. Egotistical and ambitious, Danny is determined not just to be good but to be the best and sought out the crew of confidence men run by Mickey Bricks to learn and master the long con. Personality The most recent addition to Stone's crew after literally talking his way into the group in the middle of a con in progress, he is a sometimes careless but brilliant con artist said by veteran con artist Albert Stroller to have great "grift sense" and possibly be destined to be the best con artist in the world—something Danny is all too ready to believe, his ego being the greatest weakness he has yet to overcome. In contrast to Mickey's step-by-step planning of the long con, Danny tends to rely more on impulse, most of his cons being based around him establishing the original idea and working towards that goal while compensating for any problems that might arise when they do, as opposed to Mickey preparing various contingency plans for possible problems. In the 4th episode of the first series, Danny kissed Stacie while they were alone in the apartment after spending the day together- although neither knew it, Mickey had wanted Stacie to keep Danny occupied after a crooked ex-cop blackmailed Mickey by threatening to arrest Danny for his role in a casino heist-, but she rejected him. Danny accused her of only having eyes for Mickey, and the pair momentarily fell out. However, they later reconciled in the same episode. In subsequent episodes, there was suggested mutual attraction between the pair, most notably in the second episode of Season 2. However, this was never developed further Taking over as leader During Mickey's absence in series 4, Danny took over the leadership of the group. Despite hoping to hire a "fit bird" as Mickey's replacement, he eventually gave the go-ahead for Billy Bond, a short con artist, who acted very much like Danny had on the first episode, to join instead. Although he lacked Mickey's ability to plan ahead for all possible contingencies- to the extent that Albert had to come up with a plan to fake the gang's death after they robbed a notorious casino owner-, Danny's style of leadership was nevertheless effective; during one con, Danny deliberately discarded a highly expensive bottle of wine by pouring the contents down the sink to convince the mark that their characters had no idea of the value of the wine that was allegedly in the cellar of the house they wanted to trick her into buying. Departure and return In the first episode of the fifth series of Hustle, Mickey returned to the UK after losing the money that he had made "selling" the Sydney Opera House. He then returned to London and tried to get his old crew together, yet Albert was locked in prison, and Ash had gone solo doing small cons and bets in bars. When Mickey rejoined Ash, he informed him that Danny and Stacie had decided to stay in the States to pull off some more cons following their success in the fourth series. Although Stacie initially claimed that Danny had run off with a cocktail waitress to escape her husband the last time she saw him, Danny made a surprise appearance in the final episode of the show, portraying a hitman employed to murder Mickey's crew, shooting at them with blanks to fool the mark- Stacie having stolen the card with the real hitman's number and replacing the number with Danny's-, before revealing his identity and leaving with the other six members of the cast at the end. Stacie Monroe Played by Jaime Murray. Stacie is the only female member of a team-come-family of "long con" artists before Emma and Sean Kennedy join. Background & personality She was married to a short-con artist, Jake Henry (Max Beesley). Stacie became a grifter through him. They both worked together playing the short con 'The Badger' which involves Stacie playing the working girl who would pick up a mark, and then Jake would burst in as the irate pimp or boyfriend and threaten to tell the mark's wife. Stacie and Jake were married for several years but the marriage ended after he left her, taking their house and money, leaving her with nothing more than a mouldy piece of cheese, a Phil Collins CD and a plant (her ex appears as the subject of a con during the second series). It is suggested that she once had a romantic relationship with the group's leader, Michael Stone. Michael helped her after Jake left her. One first-season episode also suggested a possible attraction to the newest member of the group, Danny Blue (this theme continued in the second-season episode "Confessions" in which the two pretend to be engaged). The third episode of the third season reveals that she has a high level of mathematical ability, as she is shown calculating a high square root value in her head. In creating the series, Tony Jordan realised that the principal characters could not have any friends or family outside the crew and therefore sought to create a nominal family with Stacie providing the role of substitute mother/wife. However, in the second series, the crew help Danny's grandmother. In the third series, they con a newspaper editor because he inadvertently caused a friend of Stacie's to attempt suicide by implying that she had embezzled money from the charity she worked for. She is sometimes demonstrated as the most compassionate member of the crew, twice leaving some of the money acquired in the latest con to people she had befriended during the con itself, and showing genuine relief when she learned that Eddie—the owner of the bar where the team regularly drink—was safe after they had been led to believe that he had been taken hostage as part of a revenge action against them. (Although Eddie, unaware that he had ever been believed to be in danger, assumed that this was part of another con.) Position in the crew Her official role is the banker and she has sole control and responsibility for the crew's finances. During the cons themselves, she usually takes on a variety of roles depending on need, ranging from a sultry vamp to a nerdy museum keeper, in order to help weave the web of deception. Her sex appeal is often used as a distraction, though she is often hesitant to rely upon it. Departure In the first episode of the fifth series, Mickey returned to the UK after losing the money he had made 'selling' the Sydney Opera House. He then returned to London and tried to get his old crew together, yet Albert was locked in prison and Ash had gone solo doing small cons and bets in bars. When Mickey rejoined Ash, he informed him that Danny and Stacie had decided to stay in the US to pull off some more cons following their success in the fourth series. Return Stacie returned for the final episode of the 2012 series, which was also the final episode of the show. She became accidentally caught up in Micky's con while conning the same mark herself- working as the mark's broker while he was looking for investments with the intention of taking a few thousand from him when he made his deposit-, but joined forces with Micky's gang by enlisting the help of the also-returning Danny Blue to help pull the con off, recruiting Danny as a fake hitman to help the gang fake their deaths. Stacie then drove off with the other six members of the cast at the show's conclusion. Eddie Played by Rob Jarvis, (series 1–8), the owner and proprietor of the eponymous Eddie's Bar where the group often plan cons. Fully aware of the group and their dealings, he usually adopts a "hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil" attitude. The petty grifts played on him by the crew whenever they want to get out of paying their bar tab, make a point to someone, or are just plain bored, are a recurring theme through the series, and often serve as foreshadowing for a trick that will be important later in the episode. Through these tricks and mingling with Mickey's team, he has acquired a basic knowledge of cons. A Liverpudlian migrant to the London area, he speaks with a strong Scouse accent. Eddie stated in the second episode of the seventh season that he had been married in the past, although he appeared now to be either separated or divorced. However, despite being skimmed by them several times, a certain financial trust exists between Eddie and the group. For instance, Eddie once lent them £4,000 to perform a con and it was paid back fully. The gang often pay Eddie their debts (often before heading on holiday at the end of a series) and provide monetary assistance if need be. Eddie occasionally helps the gang by posing as a grifter or acting as an informant; his information and knowledge often turn out to be helpful and sometimes avert disaster. Eddie is close enough to the crew to ask for a favour, and the team is also sometimes quite protective of him (e.g. not discussing some of their more dangerous schemes in the bar to ensure his safety). Furthermore, some of the targets in the series have been conned to settle scores on Eddie's behalf. As such, Eddie might be considered an unofficial "sixth member" of the family. Billy Bond Played by Ashley Walters during series 4. Billy enters the crew the same way that Danny did – as a rookie, with a natural hustling instinct and a master of the short con, but with little knowledge or experience of the long con. Portrayed as an astute and likeable character despite prior involvement in drug dealing and street gangs, he knows that his inclusion within the crew is his chance to make it big. Walters did not return for the fifth series, which instead marked the return of Adrian Lester; the final whereabouts of his character were never explained at all. In the first episode of the fifth season, when Mickey was trying to reassemble a crew, Ash mentioned that Danny and Stacie were still in America, but made no mention of Billy. In the last episode of the final series, although both Danny & Stacie returned, Billy did not, nor was there any mention of him. Emma and Sean Kennedy Kelly Adams played Emma and Matt Di Angelo played Sean Kennedy during series 5–8. Replacing the departed characters of Danny Blue and Stacie Monroe, Emma and Sean Kennedy are brother and sister, put into foster care after their mother died, a year after their father ran off. The Kennedy siblings had been living on the streets since Sean was nine, and Emma was fourteen, having run away from their foster family, they survived only through Emma's quick hands and manipulative abilities. While they understand first-hand the selfishness and greed of the world around them, the Kennedy siblings are less-experienced grifters and newcomers to the long con. Before Albert is imprisoned, prior to series five, he is pickpocketed by Emma. Impressed by her abilities, Albert takes her under his wing. Sean originally never wished to be a grifter, unlike his sister, and was set on going to Drama school when he had the money, which he and Emma were raising through their cons. The first episode of series five, in which Stone returns to find Albert in prison and attempts to complete a con with only a two-man team, turns out to be a setup by Albert, who has separately encouraged Sean and Emma to try and con Mickey and Ash. Both groups successfully escape with each other's "money", which turns out to be fake. Mickey and Ash save Emma and Sean from a past mark by giving them the tools to fake their deaths and also manage to scare the past mark into giving them the money taken by the Kennedys. Eventually, Sean enjoys being part of Mickey's crew to the point where he abandons his dreams of being an actor. Emma Kennedy proves to be a natural, unlike her brother, and her looks are used on many occasions in their cons to manipulate men into doing what she wants, however much she dislikes it. Sean's first con with the crew does not go well for him; he ends up passing out drunk when sent out on a fact-finding mission for Mickey, though he displays an impressive photographic memory even when intoxicated, and his information regarding the marks firing their PR company allows Mickey to set up his plan. Mickey then intends to use Sean to introduce Mickey and Emma as members of a new company, but one of the marks spikes his orange juice, resulting in Sean ending up drunk again. Emma is angered when she discovers this, and so has a drinking contest with the mark, which she wins. Sean is demoralised following the incident, but Mickey quickly helps him to dust himself off and carry on with the con. Subsequent episodes focus on the siblings' development as con artists, and some back-story exposition; their father Rex Kennedy (played by Danny Webb) is targeted as a mark using a buried treasure scam in the episode 'The Father of Jewels'. Emma's childhood sweetheart appears in series seven episode two. However, he proves a disappointment to Emma, thanks in part to the input of Mickey Bricks, who is a romantic interest for Emma since her first appearance, before they knew each other's real identities. Sean and Emma's mutual protectiveness concerning each other is also an occasional theme, especially in the episode 'Politics' when Sean shows his protectiveness concerning Emma. Emma is also characterized as the member of the gang who is arguably the friendliest with Eddie, and the least likely to take advantage of him. Contacts Neil Cooper (played by Tom Mannion) is another con artist who helps Mickey in Series 1, Episode 1. He impersonates a police officer named Martin DePalma in order to head the investigation into the crew. Tip Jones (played by Brian Pettifer) is a forger of classical art who is extremely skilled but not trustworthy. When the crew call on him he is faking being brain-damaged to avoid an existing charge of forgery. He forges a Mondrian painting for the crew to sell as an original but attempts to swindle them at the last moment. However, this attempted treachery leads the crew to turn the tables on Tip and ensure that he is arrested by police officers suspicious of his brain damage claims. Samuel Richards (played by Richard Harrington) is a thief who means to steal a diamond taken from his family by a greedy banker, an event which led his father to kill himself. He teams up with the crew when the Head of Security at Moore's Bank tries to force the crew to help catch him. Ray Fordham is a grifter known as 'Scottish Ray' – a nickname he earned after taking a £50,000 down payment on Edinburgh Castle. He tries to recruit Danny Blue into a new crew he is setting up. Harry Holmes (played by Ronald Pickup) is a fellow grifter who tries to con property developer Howard Jennings. However, Jennings has seen through him from the beginning and has taped all of their conversations, which he hands over to the police. Despite sharing a name, he is not connected to Martin Kemp's character in the eighth series. Adam Rice (played by Paul Nicholls) is a thief regarded by the police as "The Ghost" due to his ability to disappear from the crime scene or elude people trying to follow him. The crew try to enlist his help in stealing an original Hans Christian Andersen manuscript after being blackmailed by corrupt police officer DCI York, who wants Rice imprisoned. Though initially hesitant to join a team he does not know well, he is attracted by the idea of working with Ash and helping the crew. Rice eventually joins them for the heist, though is accidentally injured by Danny during it. As the crew take down DCI York, Rice escapes scot free and offers to work with the crew again whenever they wish to do a heist. Archie (played by Tony Rohr) is involved in horse racing and is able to supply the crew with a horse and "paint" another horse during the con in Series 4, episode 2. He obviously has a history with the group – he says he is "always nervous around grifters". Cyclops (played by Bill Bailey), so named for his thick-lensed glasses, is one of the crew's main sources of underworld information in Series 5 to 8. He normally frequents a greasy-spoon cafe and often propositions Emma, with little success. Joseph "Joey" Pepper is an American who used to be a grifter. He was once partners with Albert Stroller when he was in Las Vegas. After Albert left for Britain in the 1970s, Joey eventually took a job as a security consultant in a Las Vegas casino. He helps the crew escape after stealing $5 million from a casino. Marks Series 1 Peter Williamson (played by James Laurenson) is London businessman. He regularly makes the top 500 rich list but is greedy and will cross the street to pick up a one-pound coin. The crew lure him in with the promise of a guaranteed, but an illegal, way of tripling his money. DS Terri Hodges (played by Liz May Brice) is a senior officer within the Fraud Squad at the London Metropolitan Police. She has a particular vendetta against Michael Stone, having been tricked by him more than once. DCI Mullens (played by Ken Bones) is the Head of the Fraud Squad at the Metropolitan Police in the opening episode. He oversees an operation to arrest the crew as they attempt to con Peter Williamson. However, Mullens' investigation is fatally compromised when it's revealed that DI Martin DePalma, a key officer in the investigation, was a con artist named Neil Cooper impersonating DePalma. This scandal and embarrassment make Mullens resign in disgrace and other police officers mention his fate during the series. Frank Gorley (played by Robert Pugh) is a renowned bully and the owner of a top London casino and hotel situated in the West End. Though brutal, he is a film fanatic, and the crew con him into investing in a classic film production, with the promise of a speaking role in the finished film. Meredith Gates (played by Orla Brady) is an avid art collector with a particular interest in the artist Mondrian; she has ripped off many poor struggling dealers and buyers over the years in order to complete her collection. The crew fake an original Mondrian and stage a bidding war for her to participate in. Victor Maher (played by David Calder) is the Head of Security for Moores Bank and before that he was in the Fraud Squad for 19 years. He is thrilled at taking on the best grifters in Europe and out-grifting them. He tries to force the crew into catching a known bank robber. Catherine Winterborn (played by Tamzin Outhwaite) is a recently divorced businesswoman who is very bitter and vengeful towards her ex-husband Steven (played by Ben Miles). Having been left with nothing after the divorce, she jumps at the opportunity to invest in a rival hotel chain organised by the crew. Even when a guilty Mickey admits the con to her, she tries to commission the crew into ruining her ex-husband's career, the team only realising that her ex is a good person after they have put the con into action. Arthur Bond (played by Philip Jackson) is a rich businessman who owns the biggest theme park in the North of England. Mickey and Danny "sold" him the London Eye for £100,000; when the con was exposed on the media he was ridiculed, leaving him thirsty for revenge. Sir Anthony Reeves (played by David Haig) was the CEO of one of the major utility companies. After some bad management decisions he was dismissed, but with a golden handshake of £500,000. The crew con him out of his money by tempting him with his two guilty pleasures – horse racing and prostitutes. Series 2 Howard Jennings (played by Charlie Creed Miles) is a ruthless, young property broker in London. Considering London to be 'his city', he has taken radical steps to acquire valuable property, including running over the cat of an elderly tenant so that she would sign off on her flat. Though intelligent, he has a very bad temper – and Michael Stone is even more tempted at the prospect of conning him because he has been conned before and considers himself too smart for grifters. Johnny Keyes (played by Stanley Townsend) is a prominent restaurateur and celebrity chef in London but has a notorious gangland past. His restaurant, "Keyes" is a highly fashionable spot, with an eight-week waiting list for a table. Keyes also harbours deep feelings for his long-lost son, who was kidnapped at a very young age. It is by impersonating this son via Danny that the crew find their "in". His suspicious wife, Juliette (Rebecca Lacey) is less than enthusiastic about the search. However, just as Danny has succeeded with the con and manipulated him into purchasing a faked rare bottle of wine, Keyes suffers a heart attack. He dies in Danny's arms, who chooses to let him believe he is his son in his final moments. After Keyes' death, Juliette pays off Danny on the provision that she never sees her 'stepson' again. Trevor Speed (played by Lee Ingleby) is a short con artist whom Danny takes under his wing when they become acquainted in a pub. Danny convinces Mickey to let Trevor join their latest con against Anthony Mgube, an arms trafficker and former Nigerian government official with a hobby of collecting rare antique banknotes. Whilst on his way to undertake the final con against Mgube, Trevor loses a faked antique banknote that the team had prepared, leading Mickey to fire him. Trevor decides to proceed with the con independently, only to find himself slyly conned out of thousands by the crew. It's revealed that Mgube was Mickey in disguise all along and that the 'con' had been set up with Trevor as the real mark, in order to take revenge for Trevor conning Danny's grandmother. DI Samantha Phillips (played by Fay Ripley) is a corrupt policewoman who threatens Eddie and blackmails the crew into cutting her in on their latest con, which is auctioning a faked rare comic book. She has a safe deposit box where she stashes all her ill-gotten gains. Despite her close surveillance and manipulative methods during the con, she is outwitted by the crew, who frame her for stealing the real comic book and expose her corruption, leading to her arrest. Jake Henry (played by Max Beesley) is Stacie's estranged husband and used to be a short con artist with her. However, in 2000, he disappeared with their savings and fled to Amsterdam, leaving her only a few assorted items in their otherwise empty flat. He went on to earn money by playing poker professionally and gained a reputation as one of the best players around. Series 3 Benny Frazier (played by Mel Smith) owns 16 licensed pubs and clubs across the East End. He is also a major importer of alcohol through his company, Benny Frazier Import/Export Company Limited, but he uses the alcohol shipments as a cover for people trafficking to smuggle in Eastern Europeans. Violent and ruthless, Frazier also has a reputation for brutality. The police have been after him for a while but they can never get anything on him. The crew get to him through his 17-year-old son, a hopeful but talentless rapper, keen to hit the big time. Just as the con is about to be successful, Benny discovers the team's true identities as they had previously tried to con his father-in-law, who recognized Albert. Mickey and Danny are viciously beaten by Benny and his men as a result, leading Ash to save the day with a group of fake policemen. Benny and his family flee the country to Malaga, believing they're on the run from the law. Charles Cornfoot (played by Terence Harvey) and Quenton Cornfoot (played by Stephen Campbell Moore) are bankers working within their ancestral merchant bank, Cornfoots. Quenton is the Head of Corporate Finance, charged with roping in clients to invest, whilst Charles is the Head of Trading and oversees asset management. They are both extremely greedy and immoral, frequently breaking many laws and ethics. The crew come to target the Cornfoots at the urging of James Whitaker Wright III, a legendary fellow grifter, because the Cornfoot's ancestors financially ruined Wright's ancestor in the early 20th century. They set up a fake oil company to float on the stock exchange and manipulate the Cornfoots into shorting the stock on the futures market beforehand so that the crew can secretly buy all the shares. Thus, with Cornfoots unable to fulfil their regulatory obligations, the crew blackmail them into paying a large financial settlement of £2 million. However, Wright cons the crew by faking his death and escaping with all the money in the aftermath. Kulvinder Samar (played by Silas Carson) is a ruthless and very wealthy businessman who owns a network of sweatshops making counterfeit designer clothes. When he was younger, he wanted to become a Bollywood actor but was denied by his domineering father who wanted him to take over the family business. Still, he maintains a passionate interest in Bollywood films, which provides the way in for the crew as they set up a fake film for Kulvinder to invest in. Midway through the con, Kulvinder works out their plan but sustains a head injury in a car accident. This gives him short-term amnesia, meaning he forgets that the crew are con artists. It also results in personality changes that make him regretful of his immoral past. After attempting to con Kulvinder for a second time using the same con, the crew ultimately abandon the con on moral grounds, as Kulvinder is now a 'good' man. However, it is revealed to the audience that Kulvinder does remember they are con artists but as the con attempt has given him an epiphany that he should return to India and train as an actor, he seeks no revenge against the crew and lets them walk free believing he still has amnesia. Francis Owen (played by Kenneth Cranham) and Tim Millen (played by Paul Kaye) are two unscrupulous, immoral journalists working for the Weekend World, a tabloid newspaper. Francis is the ruthless Editor in Chief and Tim is his chief reporter. Both men have no qualms about printing libellous stories so long as they sell newspapers, nor do they care about unethical tactics. When a poorly sourced story about one of Stacey's friends, Emily Shaw, causes Emily to try and commit suicide, the crew decide to con Francis and Tim for revenge. As the Weekend World focuses extensively on stories about the British Royal Family, they concoct a fake story about the Queen Mother having died of tuberculosis in 1941 and being replaced by a doppelganger so as not to disrupt British morale during the Second World War. During the con, Francis remains highly suspicious of the story. However, the crew are able to convince both journalists after manipulating a DNA test to corroborate their claim. After publishing the story and having it exposed as fake, Owen and Millen are both disgraced and fired thanks to secret deals Mickey struck with rival editor Martin Townsend and MI5, both of whom were interested in their downfalls. DCI Matthew York (played by Ian Puleston-Davies) is an ambitious, corrupt police officer who enjoys the publicity from big arrests and does whatever he can to ensure that happens. York plants cocaine on the crew and imprisons them on drug charges in order to blackmail them into helping him entrap notorious thief Adam Rice, who plans to steal a valuable manuscript within the jurisdiction of a rival police detective, DCI Neil Cooper. York holds Albert in custody in order to ensure the crew does his bidding and assumes he has all bases covered. However, before and after the planned manuscript heist, the crew outwit York and ensures he disgraces himself in front of DCI Cooper. York ultimately faces an internal inquiry into his suspected corruption, led by Cooper. Series 4 Anthony Westley (played by Robert Wagner) is a Texan who made his fortune in industrial fastenings. He sold his company in 1999 to property developers knowing they were going to close down his factory and put his people out of work, but netting a profit of nearly $30 million. He is brash, single-minded, mean and also corrupt. When he was in business, he bribed key members of the US government to win defence contracts. He is also obsessed with the movie business, specifically movie memorabilia. Veronica Powell (played by Patricia Hodge) is the owner of Morecombe Hall Nursing Home, who has made most of her money in property. The nursing home was family-run for 12 years but was recently bought by Powell. After running it for two months she decided to whack up the fees and four months after that the fees have trebled from when she first took over. The elderly residents have to sell their property to pay for it although she convinces them to sell through her own auction house. She forgets to invite any serious bidders, buys the lot herself for next to nothing, and sells them on later. She also gets back her money when she collects the fees for the nursing home. She is also a real wine buff and will happily pay thousands to add the right vintage to her collection. Lady Clarissa Bartwell (played by Frances Barber) married her first husband for his money and title and changed her name from Carol to Clarissa. However, her husband finally saw through her and left, leaving her with a generous settlement. Despite this, she is a con artist and rips off charities. Every charity she holds events for receives only a fraction of what the event makes – the rest goes to her. She also rips off unwitting celebrities in the name of charity, all in cash. Johnny Maranzano (played by Chris Tardio) is the son of the late, great Frank Maranzano, a mafia boss and owner of the Oceanic Casino in Las Vegas. Frank Maranzano was found at Las Vegas international airport with three heads in a duffle bag. The only two things Johnny seems to care about are himself and money. He has no regard for his staff and constantly abuses them – verbally and sometimes physically. He is not above killing anyone who crosses him and has people on his payroll everywhere in Las Vegas and LA. Johnny's pride and joy is the biggest slot machine in the world called Big Daddy which is in his casino. He created it in memory of his father. Series 5 Sara Naismith (Kelly Adams) made her fortune in dubious overseas property deals. She started by buying beachfront land along the Black Sea coast once the Soviet Union crumbled, next it was tendering for re-building programmes in China after the earthquake. She left China in scandal amidst revelations of her bribing officials to avoid building regulations. She thinks the recession in Europe means she can make a fortune in the money markets. She has an assistant called Aaron (Matt Di Angelo), who has been with her since September 2008 and has a degree in Business Studies. Note: Naismith and Aaron were future team members Emma and Sean in disguise as arranged by Albert to con Mickey and Ash, whilst Mickey and Ash were conning them. The four became a team at the end of the episode. William Dagmar is an intelligent, maverick trader on the stock market and the owner of Dagmar Associates based in London. He was one of the first people to get into Google and eBay, and among the first to get out of Enron and Northern Rock. The reason for his success though is insider trading through his contacts. Note: This was the cover story for Michael Stone who was in disguise when he conned Sara Naismith and Aaron (Emma and Sean Kennedy). Carlton Wood and Harry Fielding run City Prime Associates in London specialising in intellectual property; trademarks, patents, and copyrights usually for high-end technology. Wood is the business brain and Fielding does the technical stuff. After the group conned them, they returned in the Series Five finale trying to set up a situation where they could con the group out of their money in revenge, but the attempt was a complete failure from the beginning. Mickey subsequently hired other grifters to participate in the 'plot' and take back their money, allowing the plan to continue simply for the thrill of seeing their faces when they realised what had happened. Sir Anthony Kent (played by Tim McInnerny) is a high court judge in London. Educated at Eton and Cambridge, Kent is the last of the old guard, out of touch and proud of it. He has a reputation for handing down the harshest sentences the law allows him. He has a house in Chelsea, an even bigger one in the Cotswolds, and fat expenses claims. He only cares about the crimes, verdicts, and sentences and never speaks to the press. He is known to have broken the rules once; in one of the cases he tried, he was promised gold in return for a shorter sentence. However, before Kent could get his hands on the gold, the prisoner is stabbed to death a month into his term. Toby Baxter is the only son of self-made ball bearings magnate Reginald Baxter. After his parents died when he was 27, he inherited the family business which he sold almost immediately for a reported £100 million. After the sale he retired and is obsessed with one thing – collecting love diamonds, which he keeps in a high-tech vault under his house. He is also a recluse and never leaves home. Pinky Byrne started in Hatton Garden as a runner, but soon worked out he could make more money as a tracer on the outside, using his knowledge of the industry on the inside. Byrne's a killer with no conscience but that is why he is good – he won't stop at anything. The last bloke who grassed him up was taken to a Halal butchers by Pinky who cut off his wedding tackle and made him eat it. Rhona Christie MP is a career politician. She took a marginal seat promising to speak up for the man and woman in the street although has become someone of influence in the construction industry. She picks projects to fast-track and then makes them happen to bypass planners and environmentalists and has a lot of influence. She can turn a worthless property into prime real estate, taking bribes from property developers to de-list buildings. Alfred Thomas Baron is the eldest son of the Duke and Duchess of Derbyshire, who can trace his ancestry back to Henry VIII. He spends his time mostly gambling, sleeping with models and doing dodgy business ventures. He believes that if people are stupid enough to lose their houses then it is the fault of the state. He even believes that there should some sort of compulsory euthanasia programme starting with the unemployed, those on benefits, and then moving on to the over 65s. He is an acquaintance of Carlton Wood and Harry Fielding and is used in their plan to con Michael Stone in revenge for their lost money, but the plan ends in disaster due to his stupidity, as well as the fact Mickey had been manipulating the situation right from the start. Series 6 Sir Edmund "Piggy" Richardson is the ex-boss of a bank he brought to the verge of collapse in 2009 and needed bailing out by the British government. He has become one of the most hated corporate sharks in the UK because he walked away with an annual pension of £500,000 earning him the nickname of "Piggy" and vilification by the press and the public due to the fact that half the people that worked for him lost their jobs. Liability Finch is an ex-grifter who has become a thief. However, he is a bumbling, hapless crook hence the name and is just not cut out to be a crook. He considers Mickey Bricks to be grifting royalty and wonders what it would be like to work beside him every day and used to work with Ash Morgan back in the mid-'80s working short cons until Ash saw sense. They once did the pigeon drop six times in one day down in Brighton but their last victim was an off-duty policewoman and they did time. He also helped Ash with the flop where Ash would perform the flop and then Finch would pretend to be a doctor passing by. He now lives in a council flat in London. He's not strictly a mark in this episode, as he's a fellow grifter (albeit not a very good one), however, he is constantly misled by the crew so that he does what they want him to do, to enable their con to work out. Luke Baincross is 51 years old and in 2001 he inherited Baincross Hall; a 48-room mansion in Surrey. He supports two ex-wives, soon to be three, and has a champagne lifestyle without ever having done a day's work. He recently opened up Baincross Hall to the public. The Baincross family made their fortune in the Indian silk trade in the 18th century, and as a result have one of the world's largest collections of Indian art that is worth millions, including a life-size jewel-encrusted gold tiger. Rex Kennedy is the father of Emma and Sean Kennedy. He is a respected businessman in his adopted home of Melbourne, Australia from where he runs a successful property-developing company that has an extensive portfolio throughout Australia, and on several sites in Europe including one in London. In 1987, when Emma was five and Sean was three years old, he emigrated to Melbourne, Australia, leaving Emma and Sean in the care of their mother. His reason for leaving was that he figured they would be better off without him, so he told them he was going on a business trip and that he would bring Sean back a toy Tracy Island. That was the last they saw of him. A year after his departure his wife died, and Emma and Sean went into care. This character development causes a minor continuity error, based on an earlier episode suggesting a five-year age gap between Emma and Sean, while here they are stated as with a difference of only two years. Mervyn Lloyd (played by Daniel Mays) is a dishonest 'entrepreneur' who conned Mickey when he sold him a useless mobile phone. As a result, Mickey lost his mojo (briefly passed onto barman Eddie) and the gang agreed to con Mervyn so the luck curse could be reversed. They had him believe that Albert is launching a great new product set to make millions of pounds. Mervyn falls for their scam and is left in a state of shock when the product prototype is sent to him (after investing in it). Mickey's mojo returned, as well as Eddie's bad luck. Series 7 Wendy Stanton (played by Anna Chancellor) is the head of Model Devotion, a modelling agency. A failed model herself, Stanton sought to gain access to the 'big-time' as an agency head but had never made it, simply working in low-end catalogues, made even worse when her ex-partner Betty Greenacre's company received a contract for Milan Fashion Week. She was also known to con aspiring models out of approximately £900 each by claiming that she needed the money to set up a portfolio for the models, claiming that they would recoup the money on their first job, which never arrives, allowing her to keep the money for herself. Jeremy Garrett, Stanley Mead, and Viscount Manley are: an MP recently appointed to the Treasury who believed that chips, ketchup and lager should be taxed to recoup recent losses; a judge on the court of public decency who engaged in threesomes; and a young man who had recently inherited a large amount of money from his father, respectively. All three, along with Wendy Stanton, are conned at the same time using the Spanish Prisoner scam. Georgina Althorp (played by Angela Griffin) is the head of Dosh4You, a loan company with a ridiculously high-interest rate in the fine print of the contracts; most people who asked for loans from her ended up losing their homes anyway because they couldn't keep up the repayments. Having changed her name in her youth, Georgina originally studied law before going into her current business, going so far as to evict her own parents from their home. Marcus Wendell (played by Michael Brandon) is an American whose family have owned casinos all the way back to the Civil War in America, where his ancestors accused Charlie Stroller – Albert's great-grandfather – of cheating on their casino steamboat and threw him off the ship. Having opened his first casino in Britain, Wendell attempts to provoke the gang into trying to con him so that he can put their photos on his 'wall of grifters', where he places pictures of those he finds cheating in his casinos – although there is evidence that his standards to determine whether someone is cheating are relatively low – subsequently ruining the future career prospects of potential grifters by sending their information to all of the world's major financial institutions. However, the team are able to win the game using the table from the casino steamboat, revealing Wendell's family had rigged it and Stroller had realised the deception, hence he was framed. Benny is an old-time grifter who was a jack of all trades. He could pick out a mark with ease, pick a pocket with lightning speed and nearly replaced Ash as a member of the group. Even though he was an amazing grifter he thought he was better than everyone else, smarter, quicker and more devious. He held a great grudge against Mickey and his group for picking Ash instead of him and owed money to a local gang leader who threatened to kill him if the money wasn't returned with interest. He was a master con man, even managing to con Mickey out of £20,000 without him knowing it in the early days. Series 8 Dexter Gold, played by Paterson Joseph, is a gold seller. He made his fortune using a company that buys gold items and jewellery from unsuspecting victims for heavily reduced prices. He gets away with it because of the fine print no one reads. The team pose as a renegade army unit to con him, and successfully take him for £500,000. Petre Sava, played by Peter Polycarpou, is a ruthless Eastern European art collector the team attempts to sell a fake Picasso to after hearing in the press that the work had been stolen. What they don't know, however, is that Sava was the original owner and they come unstuck when Sava kidnaps Mickey thinking the crew did steal the painting in the first place. They have had no luck in retrieving the original. Mickey is released though when Ash calls Sava and rival gangster Harry Holmes (Martin Kemp) to the same warehouse, causing them and their henchmen to fight with a fake being destroyed in the process (Sava thought that this was the real painting). Eventually. he settles for a fake created by art forger Dolly Hammond (Sheila Hancock). DI Sidney Fisk, played by Patrick Baladi, is a corrupt senior police detective who makes cases 'go away' providing the offenders pay him enough. Fisk's new commanding officer, Wainwright, deals with Mickey and the team to ensnare Fisk and root out corruption in her department. The team plan an elaborate con involving a fake mark to trap Fisk, which he falls for, and is recorded saying exactly how he makes cases 'go away'. Dean and Dana Deville, played by John Barrowman and Raquel Cassidy respectively, are a married American couple who have made their fortune by pitching fake diets and healthy lifestyle products. The team target them after a fellow grifter, Carol (Jodie Prenger), suffers a heart attack after falling for one of their fake diet plans. Mickey and Ash create a story involving a miracle diet drink being developed by a major drug manufacturer. Mickey poses as a professional thief and the Devilles pay him £250,000 to help them steal the fake product from the manufacturer, but it turns out the product is just an emetic. Dale Ridley, played by Mark Williams, is a disgraced '80s TV gameshow host who had a catchphrase with 'Ding Dong, That's My Song'. Now he is a ruthless property developer, tearing down sites for profit including one of Albert's old clubs. The team know the old studios that fired him are up for sale and knows he would love the chance to take revenge and knock the building down. Dale does discover he's being conned, but Mickey and the gang still walk clean away with £250,000 of his money. Madani Wasem, played by Abhin Galeya, is a businessman who has inherited north of £850m from his recently deceased father. Wasem travels around Europe playing the money markets but is considered incredibly dangerous by the team, not least because he employs an 'enforcer', a person who will kill or torture a victim on demand. Mickey and the team use him as their final mark and successfully walk away with £10m of his money. Danny Blue was the 'enforcer' Wasem hired to kill the team but alas, it ended happily ever after.

The 1989 NCAA Division I baseball tournament was played at the end of the 1989 NCAA Division I baseball season to determine the national champion of college baseball. The tournament concluded with eight teams competing in the College World Series, a double-elimination tournament in its forty third year. Eight regional competitions were held to determine the participants in the final event. Each region was composed of six teams, resulting in 48 teams participating in the tournament at the conclusion of their regular season, and in some cases, after a conference tournament. The forty-third tournament's champion was Wichita State, coached by Gene Stephenson. The Most Outstanding Player was Greg Brummett of Wichita State. Regionals The opening rounds of the tournament were played across eight regional sites across the country, each consisting of a six-team field. Each regional tournament is double-elimination, however region brackets are variable depending on the number of teams remaining after each round. The winners of each regional advanced to the College World Series. Bold indicates winner. Atlantic Regional at Tallahassee, FL South Regional at Starkville, MS Northeast Regional at Waterbury, CT Central Regional at College Station, TX West I Regional at Tucson, AZ West II Regional at Fresno, CA Midwest Regional at Austin, TX East Regional at Gainesville, FL College World Series Participants Results The teams in the CWS were divided into two pools of four, with each pool playing a double-elimination format. For the second time since the College World Series began in 1947, the series was not a true double elimination tournament. Instead, the winners of the two pools met in a single National Championship game. Texas came out of its pool with no losses. Wichita State came out of its pool with one loss. Wichita State defeated Texas in the Championship game. Because each team only had one loss, in the championships prior to 1988, the teams would have played a winner-take-all game for the championship. Therefore, when Texas lost the championship game, rather than play another game for the championship, Wichita State was crowned champion. This new format was adopted for television reasons for the final game. Later, the format was switched to a best of three series in 2003. Bracket Game results All-Tournament Team The following players were members of the All-Tournament Team.

He appointed Cammerer as assistant director in 1919, replacing previous assistant director Horace M. Albright, who then became Director. Cammerer served as Mather's right-hand man in Washington and acted for him in his frequent absences over the next decade. After the project to found Great Smoky Mountains National Park proved expensive, Cammerer secured a promise from John D. Rockefeller Jr., to match $5 million in the acquisition of Shenandoah National Park lands. He advanced to the new rank of associate director on January 12, 1929. Directorship of the U.S. National Park Service Cammerer succeeded Albright as director on August 10, 1933, the same day as the transfer to the National Park Service of the national capitol parks, historic sites, memorials, and monuments from the War and Agriculture departments. Under his leadership, the NPS tripled the number of areas served, increased visitations from two to 16 million, became involved with recreational area planning and management, began to survey and record historic sites and buildings outside the existing parks, and worked with Congress to pass the Historic Sites Act, as well as a law establishing the National Park Foundation. In 1938, Cammerer received the Pugsley Gold Medal. The Pugsley Award recognizes outstanding contributions to the promotion and development of public parks in the United States and is given out by the American Academy of Park and Recreation Administrators along with the National Park Foundation. Strained relations with Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes impaired Cammerer's effectiveness and health; he stepped down in 1940 following a heart attack the previous year. He became the service's eastern regional director. Death and legacy After suffering another heart attack, Cammerer died on April 30, 1941. The official NPS biography says that "Cammerer's contributions to the National Park Service were legion." Mount Cammerer, on the Northeastern fringe of the Great Smoky Mountains is named for Cammerer, as he had played a prominent role in the acquisition of the park.

The Prisoner of Château d'If or () is a 1988 Soviet drama film directed by Georgi Yungvald-Khilkevich based on the novel The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. Plot The film is set in France, at the beginning of the 19th century. After military defeat, Emperor Napoleon abdicates and is in exile on the island of Elba. As requested by the dying Captain, his assistant Edmond Dantès approaches the island and takes with him a certain letter which he has to deliver in Paris. Dantès is very young but his life is already full of happiness. The shipowner appoints Edmond as captain and in Marseille, the beautiful bride Mercedes waits for Dantès. But the deep-seated jealousy of Edmond's enemies destroys everything... On the advice of Danglar, a close friend of Dantès, the fisherman Fernand who is passionately in love with Mercedes writes a denunciation to the prosecutor of Marseilles and by the order of assistant prosecutor de Villefort hapless Dantès becomes imprisoned in the most horrible dungeon Château d'If. Dantès, not understanding what has happened, almost goes mad in the gloomy prison but by chance he meets Abbé Faria, a wise and resilient old man. Abbé tries to dig a hole to freedom in his cell but instead ends up in Edmond's cell. Faria decides to share with Dantès all of his knowledge and experience, as well as the countless treasures that are hidden on the island of Monte Cristo. Years pass and Edmond Dantès is reborn, becoming the most intelligent and educated person. Taking advantage of the death of Abbé Faria, Edmond manages to escape from the Château d'If. Dantès finds the treasure, "buries" his name forever and becomes the Count of Monte Cristo. Over the period of many years that Dantès spent in prison the lives of his enemies have changed radically. Petty officer Danglar has become the Baron, one of the richest bankers in France. De Villefort was appointed as king's attorney, and the simple fisherman Fernand has become a Count, General, Lord of France and - the most important for him - Mercedes's husband. Power and money - all this is now in the hands of scoundrels making them almost invulnerable, but the Count of Monte Cristo is full of lust for revenge. He begins to investigate thoroughly the lives of his enemies, and soon discovers the terrible and bloody secrets they contain. And if Monte Cristo publicly reveals these mysteries he can severely punish his enemies...

Emicho I, Count of Nassau-Hadamar (also known as Emich, first mentioned in 1289, died on 7 June 1334), was the second son of Count Otto I of Nassau and his wife Agnes (d. 1303), the daughter of Count Emich IV of Leiningen-Landeck. Emicho was the founder of the elder line of Nassau-Hadamar. He was a cousin of King Adolf of Germany. He and his brother Henry fought on Adolf's side in the Battle of Göllheim on 2 July 1298. Count of Nassau-Hadamar Emicho I was a son of Otto, the founder of the Ottonian line of the House of Nassau. After Otto died in 1290, his sons fought a length dispute over the inheritance. In 1303, the three remaining sons divided the Ottonian lands. Henry (d. 1343), the eldest brother, received Nassau-Siegen, with Ginsburg and the Lordship of Westerwald. John received Nassau-Dillenburg, with Herborn, Haiger and Beilstein. Emicho received Nassau-Hadamar, including Hadamar itself, the Esterau, the Nassau share of the Lordship of Driedorf and the justice over Ellar, the Ottonian share of Dausenau and Ems and some dispersed possessions. As recently as 1290, the Lords of Greifenstein, who were co-owners of Driedorf, had forced Henry and Emicho to demolish two of their castles in Driedorf. On the other hand, a treaty closed in Wetzlar promised an end to the Greinfenstein's resistance to the Nassau expansion in the eastern part of the Westerwald. In 1316, Emicho finally managed to purchase the Greifenstein share of Driedorf for 250 marks. Properties in Franconia In 1299, Emicho acquire considerable properties in the Nuremberg area, when King Albert I of Saxony mortgaged Kammerstein Castle, Schwabach, Altdorf, Kornburg Castle and the town of Kornburg to Emicho and his wife Anna, who was the daughter of Burgrave Frederick III of Nuremberg. Hadamar On 18 December 1320 Emicho purchased a model farm from the Cistercian Eberbach Abbey. This farm was located on the left bank of the Elbbach, opposite Hadamar. The transaction includes the St. Giles church in Hadamar; the abbey retained various other properties in Niederhadamar, Faulbach and Niederzeuzheim. Emich expanded the farm to a water castle named Hadamar Castle, and built a new farm to the south of the castle. He moved his residence to Hadamar Castle. In 1324, Emperor Louis IV granted city rights, modeled on Frankfurt, to Hadamar and Ems. This allowed Emicho to fortify Hadamar with a city wall and a moat surrounding both the town and his castle. The move to Hadamar was probably intended to make it easier to secure his interests in the County of Dietz and to continue purchasing property and rights from the House of Dietz, which was continually in financial difficulties. From 1317, Emicho acted as guardian of Count Gottfried V of Dietz (1303–1348), whose bad financial management had caused the decline of his county. In 1324, Emicho negotiated with Count Gottfried V of Dietz about the intended marriage of Emicho's daughter Jutta with Gottfried's son Gerhard VI (1317–1343). Emicho demanded extended guardianship rights over the County of Dietz, which was already owed him a considerable amount of money. When Gottfried reached adulthood in 1332 and Emicho's guardianship ended, Gottfried transferred his rights over Hadamar and the village of Dehrn to Emicho. On 28 March 1337, Gottfried of Dietz mortgaged the district of Ellar, which he had acquired this district only four years earlier from the Lords of Merenberg, for 1450 Limburgish marks to Emicho's son John. On 4 April 1334, only two months before his death, Emicho transferred the Court and Castle of Hadamar to Archbishop Baldwin of Trier, who gave it back to him as a fief. Mining rights On 26 February 1298, King Adolph of Germany mortgaged the rights to the Ratzenscheid mine near Wilnsdorf in the Siegerland area and the other silver mines in the Nassau territory to his cousins Henry and Emicho for 1000 marks' worth of pennies from Cologne. John's inheritance Emicho's younger brother John was captain in the army from Nassau and Mainz that fought in the decisive Battle of Wetzlar that ended the Dernbacher Feud on 10 August 1328. John fell in that battle. Emicho refrained from his share in the inheritance, in favour of his elder brother Henry. Marriage and issue Before 1297, Emich married Anna (d. ), the daughter of Burgrave Frederick III of Nuremberg and his second wife Helen, the daughter of Duke Albert I of Saxony. They had at least eight children: Anna (died probably before 1329), married before 1332 to Count Kuno I of Falkenstein Jutta (d. after 1359), married before 1324 to Count Gerhard VI of Diez (1317–1343) John (d. before 20 January 1365), Count of Nassau-Hadamar from 1334 to 1365 Emicho II (d. 1359), from 1328 to 1336 canon in Mainz, from 1337 to 1359 co-ruler of Nassau-Hadamar Agnes, a nun in Altenberg Abbey in Wetzlar Helen, also a nun in Altenberg Abbey Margaret, married before 1349 to a Count of Hohenberg Margaretha (d. 1343), a nun in the Poor Clares nunnery in Nuremberg Emicho died on 7 June 1334. His widow reached a compromise with her son John in 1336, in which she received the imperial Kammerstein Castle as her jointure, plus several manor in Franconia. She would also receive income in kind from John, from his possessions in Laurenburg, Dausenau, Hadamar, Nentershausen and the bailiwick of Weidenhahn and from farms and land in Hadamar (the manors Schnepfenhaus and Rödchen), Zeuzheim and Heftrich. She resided at Hadamar castle until 1349, then moved to Kammerstein Castle, where she died between 1355 and 1357.

The NHS Low Income Scheme is intended to reduce the cost of NHS prescription charges, NHS dentistry, sight tests, glasses and contact lenses, necessary costs of travel to receive NHS treatment, NHS wigs and fabric supports, i.e. spinal or abdominal supports or surgical brassieres supplied through a hospital. It is administered by the NHS Business Services Authority. It is not necessary to be in receipt of any benefits in order to qualify. An online application system was under trial in 2022. It is restricted to people who do not have capital or savings of over £6,000. Tax credits People entitled to most means-tested benefits do not need to use the scheme as they are exempt from these charges. People who receive working tax credit or child tax credit are automatically assessed and, if entitled, issued with an NHS Tax Credit Exemption Certificate. Tax credit beneficiaries with an income of less than £15,276 (2013 figure), people who receive working tax credit and child tax credit and those who receive working tax credit with a disability element are entitled to a certificate. Universal Credit The introduction of Universal Credit led to complications. People entitled to Universal Credit who had net earnings of less than £435 in a month (or £935 or less if they have a child element or had limited capability for work) should receive free prescriptions on the same basis as other people in receipt of other means tested benefits. However, as of December 2017, at which point the introduction of universal credit (which started in April 2013) was well under way, the prescription form did not mention it. Claimants were officially advised by NHS England to tick the box for income-based jobseeker's allowance. Outside England Charges are not made for prescriptions, wigs or fabric supports in Scotland or Wales. Financial assessment The assessment of means uses similar principles to those of income support. Weekly income is compared to assessed requirements but includes housing costs and council tax which income support does not. There is a capital limit (between the claimant and their partner, if they have one) of £23,250 for those permanently in a care home (£24,000 in Wales) and £16,000 for everyone else. Certificates The HC2 certificate for full help (which includes free NHS prescriptions), is issued if weekly income is less than or equal to requirements, or income is greater than requirements by no more than half the current English prescription charge. The HC3 certificate for partial help is issued if income is greater than requirements by more than half the current English prescription charge. This shows the payment liability for health costs. It is possible to apply for a refund of charges already paid when an application for a certificate is made.

1871 års fattigvårdförordning (English: Poor Relief Regulation of 1871) was a Swedish Poor Law which organized the public Poor relief in the Sweden. It replaced the 1847 års fattigvårdförordning and was in effect until the Poor Care Law of 1918. In 1847, the first Swedish social help system separate from the church had been organized by the 1847 års fattigvårdförordning. It was adjusted only to a very minor degree by the 1853 års fattigvårdförordning. The rapid changes during the mid 19th-century, including industrialisation, urbanization, labour movement and socialism, created an opposition toward public social projects among the ruling elite, who came to regard them as communism. The law from 1847, which was influenced by the liberalism of the 1840s, came to be regarded as too generous, and gradually the authorities came to practice it more and more strictly. This was illustrated during the Swedish famine of 1867–1869, when emergency relief was delivered almost exclusively to those willing to work for it. A growing opinion felt that society should take responsibility only for orphans, the aged, the insane and the mentally or physically challenged, and deny any form of assistance to all adults who were physically and mentally healthy. In 1871, the law of 1847 was reformed. While the organisation and the system introduced in 1847 was kept in form, the law of 1871 introduced more strict qualifications as to who should be allowed to receive social benefits. By this reform, social benefits was banned for everyone except for those physically or mentally unable to work, such as orphans, the aged, the insane and the mentally or physically challenged, and further more banned the right to appeal a decision made by the Poor Care Board. The law of 1871 was thereby a severe deterioration of social help in Sweden, and those needing no longer qualified to apply for help from the state because of the new regulations was forced to rely on private charity (foremost the local Fruntimmers-skyddsförening) as well as old outdated customs such as rotegång, the pauper auction and child auctions. It was not until the Poor Care Law of 1918 (1918 års fattigvårdslag) that the entire poor relief system in Sweden was truly reformed and the rotegång, the pauper auctions, the child auctions, the poor houses and other old fashioned phenomena were abolished.

Musically, "Speak to Me" is a piano ballad instrumentally complete with strings, booming drums and cellos and features lyrics in which the protagonist pleads for love. Upon its release, the song received critical acclaim from music critics most of whom praised its haunting and cinematic sound accompanied by the singer's trademark vocals. A music video for the song for which Lee collaborated with Howell was filmed at the same location as the movie, in Siena. It serves as a backstory to the movie and it features Lee singing the song and playing the piano in a gothic castle setting; shots of her walking at a garden with a boy are present throughout. As the song itself, the visual received positive feedback from critics who felt that it was a fitting accompaniment to the song's overall musical style and the movie's tone. Background Following the release of Evanescence's third self-titled studio album (2011) and its accompanying promoting tour (2011-12), the band went on a hiatus, with its group members starting to pursue individual projects. Lee started focusing on recording music for soundtracks and movies, releasing her first soundtrack album Aftermath in 2014 from the movie War Story. In October 2015, Lee revealed that although still not certain if the band would return to the music scene with newly recorded material, she definitely would go on recording and writing new solo music "with every intention of people hearing it". She started releasing cover versions of four songs on her official YouTube account; these songs were later compiled in her first EP album released in 2016, titled Recover, Vol. 1. Although Evanescence returned to stage in late 2015 and continued touring in 2016 and 2017, Lee continued writing and recording solo music. A children's album titled Dream Too Much consisting of songs inspired by and dedicated to her first child followed as part of her solo career. The beginning of 2017 also saw a single release of an English rework of the Italian song "L'amore esiste" (2015) by Francesca Michielin. In August 2015, it was revealed that Lee would write music for the ending credits of the independent movie Voice from the Stone, directed by Eric Dennis Howell. In 2016, she started recording and finalizing the song; a video of her composing the song at Skywalker Ranch, where she played the piano and rehearsed the vocals was uploaded on her official YouTube channel on April 11, 2016. The video also featured various scenes of the movie itself set to snippets from the song. "Speak to Me" premiered on March 17, 2017 when it was also available for digital download on iTunes Store and several other digital music outlets. The digital single contains two versions of the song, the first one being the one featured in the movie and the second one being the studio recording of the song. Initially written only as the ending song of the movie only, "Speak to Me" was also used in the trailer after Howell and Wandmacher were both satisfied with the final result. Recording and composition Lee was initially contacted by the movie's director to write music for it. Closely related with both the director of the movie, Eric Howell, and the composer of its musical score, Michael Wandmacher, Lee had a conversation with both and "felt a surge of inspiration and immediately began writing" shortly afterwards. Lee elaborated how it was "a rare phenomenon to really share a creative vision so completely, and that made for a very powerful experience, and an end result that I am very proud of". She watched an unedited and incomplete version of Voice from the Stone in order to see if she would want to contribute to the movie's score; Lee was impressed by it. Since Voice from the Stone follows the story of a nurse trying to help a mute young boy who has recently lost his mother speak again, Lee felt that the plot "resonated very deeply" with her due to the fact that she had recently become a mother. The song she was asked to write was meant to illustrate the child's deceased mother's perspective and the feelings of unlimited love that extend even beyond death. In the movie, the mother's character is a classical singer and a piano player who also enjoyed the perks of motherhood; Lee expressed her compatibility with the given description, saying, "There is no way that this could have been more me! It's meant to be me, it has to be me, and I'm writing this song!". The singer further added that "it wasn't a stretch, in any way, for me to put myself exactly in the spot where I needed to be to write this song". Lee talked to the director and the score composer on the phone to discuss their opinions of what they think the ending song should sound like and Lee went to the piano right afterwards, conceiving the initial idea in an hour. She sent it to them afterwards and they both agreed that it is the direction they want to get on. Lee was invited to Skywalker Ranch which also served as the place where the movie's audio mixing was being handled. Lee went to record there for three days which marked the first time she had separated from her recent child. She revealed that the situation "put me in exactly the right place, emotionally, to sing and write from that emotional place that I needed to be in". The recording studio and the scenery at the ranch were the ideal environment for the singer to finish the writing process. Whenever she would get a writer's block composing at the piano, Lee would bike into the forest, during which she would "feel the beauty of earth and loneliness, at the same time". "Speak to Me" was completely recorded in two weeks. "Speak to Me" is a piano-led ballad which features Lee's vocals which were described as "haunting". Besides piano, its instrumentation is also provided by subtle strings as well as low-sounding drums and cellos which according to Billboards Gil Kaufman "amp up the track's tension". According to Kaufman, the "chilling" song marked a return "into the spooky zone" for Lee. He further found her "signature emotion-choked vocals" present over the track's "haunting" piano line. Similar sentiments were offered by Riddhi Chakraborty from Rolling Stone India who felt that "Spoke to Me" marked a return to Lee's "signature style of powerhouse vocals combined with delicate piano", which he found to be similar to some of Evanescence's song, particularly "My Immortal" (2003) and "Lithium" (2006). Lyrically, the song finds the protagonist calling a "departed, ghostly" love as exemplified in the lyrics, "We are one breath apart, my love / And I'll be holding in it till we're together / Hear me call your name / Just speak, speak to me". Critical reception Billboards Gil Kaufman: "It's the perfect shot of Celtic-tinged gothic balladry for fans of Lee's band". Vanessa Vallon, writing for the website AXS noted that "Speak to Me" served as a demonstration by Lee of her "versatility"; she further described her vocal performance on the song as "gorgeously plead[ing]". Mike Wass from the music blog Idolator, deemed the song to be "strikingly beautiful" and noted how it "evokes the gothic drama and emotional intimacy of 'My Immortal'". Music Week journalist Ben Homewood felt that it would be an understatement to say that the song's usage in the trailer for the movie "heightens the drama on display". Writing for LemonWire, Jessica Tamez praised Lee's vocals, describing them as "liquid gold to say the very least" and adding that she managed to convey the same "intensity and beauty" characteristics of all her work. Tamez went on to praise the singer for her ability "adequately capture the depth of a situation and magnify that with such elegance [which] distinguishes her amongst fellow artists" and observed that the melody of "Speak to Me" managed to be a fitting accompaniment to the movie's profundity. Keith Spera from The Advocate described the song as "lush". Music video A music video for the song was filmed in Siena in Italy, which also served as the filming location for Voice from the Stone. Lee collaborated with Howell on the video and they both imagined it as a "parallel and backstory to the film" which explores the relationship between the main protagonist and her son and the notion that "love is stronger than death". The five-minute video features Lee singing and performing the song on a piano at a gothic Italian castle and walking around its surroundings. It opens with a close-up black-and-white shot of Lee lip-syncing the song's lyrics. She is later seen walking with a seemingly lonely child at a garden. For the clip, Lee is dressed in a medieval-styled gown which she co-designed with the Voice from the Stone costume designer. The clip premiered on Lee's official YouTube channel on March 27, 2017. According to Chad Childers from Loudwire, it served as a proof that she was "certainly embracing the vibe and the feel" of the song. McKenzie Dillon from the website MXDWN, who described the song itself as "hauntingly beautiful" felt that its visual "follows the same tone". Lindy Smith from the Alternative Press summarized the clip as "visually-stunning" and "enchanting". Live performances "Speak to Me" was performed during the encore of the set list of Evanescence's Synthesis Tour (2017–18). The performance featured Lee playing the piano accompanied by an orchestra.

Jean "Black Jack" Schramme (25 March 1929, Bruges, Belgium – 14 December 1988, Rondonópolis, Brazil) was a Belgian mercenary and planter. He managed a vast estate in the Democratic Republic of the Congo until 1967. Planter Schramme was born into an upper-middle-class family in Bruges, where his father was a successful lawyer. In 1947, Schramme moved to the Belgian Congo at the age of 18, where he worked as an apprentice for a planter. Schramme had a strong entrepreneurial streak and by the age of 22 he already owned his own plantation covering 22 acres at Bafwakwandji in the eastern half of the Belgian Congo. Schramme performed his national service with the Force Publique, which provided him with his military training. Schramme deeply loved Africa and called himself un Africain blanc ("a white African"). Schramme ran his estate along militaristic lines, having a very authoritarian and paternalistic leadership style as he took to calling himself a père ("father") to his black African workers. Schramme thought that he understood the Congo far better than the Congolese, and believed that the country should remain a Belgian colony forever. He hated the évolués (Western-educated Congolese) who for him were not real Congolese at all; his ideal Congolese were his workers on his estate who called him père. In Schramme's viewpoint, he and the other Belgian settlers should provide the strict, but loving paternalistic care that he believed was what the Congolese needed. Congo Crisis In January 1959, riots erupted as hundreds of thousands of Congolese took to the streets to demand independence, which led the Belgian state to agree that the Belgian Congo would become independent on 30 June 1960. Unwilling to accept Congolese independence, in the spring of 1960, Schramme started to stockpile arms and ammunition while he attached metal plates and a machinegun to his car to create a makeshift armored car. On 30 June 1960, the Belgian Congo was granted independence, and shortly afterwards the Congolese Army mutinied against the Belgian officers who had been placed in charge owing to the lack of Congolese officers. With the Congo falling into chaos, Schramme provided an armed guard to move Belgian settlers into the British colony of Uganda. Schramme claimed to have been arrested twice and to have seen 8 white settlers hanged without a trial, through the historian Christopher Othen noted that Schramme was prone to lies and exaggerations, and his accounts might very well be fabrications. Schramme himself fled to Uganda, where he heard about the State of Katanga led by Moise Tshombe. Schramme went to Katanga to fight as a mercenary and to reestablish himself as a planter in Africa, having abandoned his estate. In the spring of 1961, Schramme enlisted in Groupe Mobile E , a mercenary unit commanded by a hard-drinking Scotsman, Robert Chambers, who called himself Louis Chamois, and whose French was atrocious. Schramme was not impressed with Chambers, whom he stated: "At first glance, I thought I was dealing with a double crazy drunk. He pretended to be an officer, but he was interested in nothing more than his bottle and his revolver". The Groupe Mobile E had a terrible reputation for cruelty; with one Belgian settler, Frans Heymans, complaining in May 1961 of "the brutalities at the hands of Chamois and his men". Schramme was furious when the United Nations ordered the Belgian settlers out of Katanga, writing in 1969: "The United Nations had imposed their orders on Tshombe, not a single white in the Katangese administration or army. You cannot imagine a more racist decision. We were being expelled on the basis of the color of our skin." Schramme was arrested by Swedish soldiers serving as United Nations peacekeepers and expelled to Belgium on 17 September 1961 as a troublemaker. Schramme spent several weeks in Belgium, and then went to the British colony of Southern Rhodesia (modern Zimbabwe), where he purchased the book Quotations from Chairman Mao to "know his enemy" as he phrased it. Schramme then returned to Katanga. During his time in Southern Rhodesia, Schramme had recruited several white British and South African settlers to come with him to fight for Katanga. In October 1961, Schramme took the town of Kisamba from the Congolese, proudly reporting his small unit had just routed two battalions of the Armée Nationale Congolaise, owing to their superior discipline. Schramme's claims to have taken Kisamba were not believed at first, leading him to ask if he should give Kisamba back to the Armée Nationale Congolaise if they did not believe that his out-numbered force could have defeated two battalions on its own. Schramme was promoted to the rank of lieutenant. Following the final defeat of Katanga, in January–February 1963, Schramme led a force of about 400 Katangese gendarmes into Angola. In 1964, the Simba rebellion erupted and the entire eastern half of the Congo was taken by the Simba rebels while the Armée Nationale Congolaise disintegrated. Believing that he needed the support of the West, the army commander, General Joseph-Désiré Mobutu persuaded President Joseph Kasa-Vubu to appoint Tshombe premier on 9 July 1964. Tshombe, who had used mercenaries extensively as the leader of Katanga brought back the same mercenaries that he had used to fight against the Congo to now fight for the Congo. Schramme was one of the mercenaries whom Tshombe recruited to fight for the Congo, crossing over from the then Portuguese colony of Angola. Schramme commanded the Batabwa group, which operated independently of the Lunda group commanded by another mercenary, Ferdinand Tshipola, a state of affairs that owed to personal rivalries between Schramme and Tshipola than ethnic rivalries between the Batabaw and Lunda peoples. The Revolt of the Mercenaries In 1965, General Mobutu became president and from then on Belgium started protecting his regime against rebellion. Mobutu immediately began to arrest the former government ministers of Congo. Mobutu had long disliked the white mercenaries in his country as reflecting an adverse comment upon his military competence, and over the course of 1966 and the first half of 1967 steadily reduced the number of mercenaries. From December 1966 to July 1967,the number of mercenaries in the Congo had been reduced from about 650 down to 189 as Mobutu paid the last of their wages and then sent them home. In June 1967, the French mercenary Bob Denard warned Schramme that Mobutu was planning to dissolve the last of mercenary units, which provided the impetus for a plan to restore Tshombe. On 30 June 1967 president Moise Tshombe's jet aircraft was hijacked en route to Algiers, before he could return to Congo after his exile in Spain. He was imprisoned in Algeria and two years later he died in suspicious circumstances. For Schramme, this was a sign that he was fighting the wrong enemy and on 3 July 1967 he began to lead an uprising in the Tshopo province against Mobutu along with fellow mercenaries Denard and Jerry Puren. According to Puren the uprising was part of a plan to restore Tshombe to power but derailed by the hijacking: the mercenaries planned to move south and link up with Katangan exiles crossing from Angola. This was known as the Mercenaries Revolt. Jack Malloch, the Rhodesian pilot and gun-runner, supported Schramme's forces with flights supplying him with weapons. On the morning of 5 July 1967 10 Commando ANC, Schramme's unit, launched surprise attacks on Stanleyville, Kindu, and Bukavu. Schramme led the attack on the army's barracks at Stanleyville, leading a force of 11 white mercenaries and about 100 Katangese in the assault. The attack killed hundreds of Congolese soldiers and their families, leading to the wrathful Congolese to execute 30 mercenaries not involved in the coup attempt. The attack that Schramme planned was described as "badly executed" as he behaved with over-confidence in believing that his small force would be enough to take Stanleyville. The Congolese fought back and within a week, Schramme had been forced to retreat from Stanleyville. Schramme tried to take control of Stanleyville, Congo. Defeated, his force retreated south into Kivu province. By August 10, his troops conquered the border town of Bukavu and had grown considerably in number. Schramme was able to hold Bukavu for seven weeks and managed to defeat all ANC troops who were sent to retake the town. The ANC suffered from a lack of artillery and was frustrated and demotivated over its continuous losses. By accident, some ANC T-28 flying missions even attacked their own troops instead of Schramme's. The shortages of ammunition were a major problem for the ANC, but Schramme's forces suffered from even greater shortages of ammunition as the expected support from abroad failed to arrive. Extra forces including the elite 2nd Parachute Brigade helped the ANC to finally defeat Schramme on 29 October 1967. The surviving rebel troops fled into Rwanda. A number of Katangese gendarmes fled into Angola, where they retained their loyalty to the Mwaant Yav, the traditional king of the Lunda people. The exiles were recruited by the Portuguese colonial authorities to fight against the Angolan guerrillas. Thomas Tshombe, the brother of Moise Tshombe and the current reigning Mwaant Yav, pressed for Schramme to be placed in charge of the Katangese exiles in Angola, a request refused by the Portuguese authorities who did not want such a well-known man in Angola. Later life On 24 April 1968 Schramme and all the other European mercenaries returned to Belgium. Almost 20 years later, on 17 April 1986, he was sentenced to 20 years in prison for a murder. Schramme was not living in Belgium at the time of the sentence: he died in 1988 in Brazil. Schramme was played by the French actor Aladin Reibel in the 2011 film Mister Bob.

Arthur Judson Brown (December 3, 1856 – January 11, 1963) was an American clergyman, missionary and author. Brown was born in Holliston, Massachusetts, and was ordained as a Presbyterian minister in 1883. Brown preached in various cities throughout the United States, including Portland, Oregon and Oak Park, Illinois from 1883 to 1895. Often termed a "missionary statesman," Brown traveled throughout the world—most notably in China and other Asian countries. During the time Brown surveyed China, he wrote a seventeen-volume diary of what he'd seen and discovered. Over time, Brown communicated with Roman Catholic, Jewish, and Greek Orthodox leaders, in addition to such influential Protestant clergymen as Henry Sloane Coffin, Nathan Söderblom, and John R. Mott. Brown himself received letters from five American Presidents and various other government officials. Booker T. Washington, John D. Rockefeller Jr. (1839–1937), and John Wanamaker were among his famous American correspondents.
