Lionel Antoine
Lionel Sylvester Antoine (born August 31, 1950) was an American football player. He played tight end for the Southern Illinois Salukis before he was drafted by the Chicago Bears with the third-overall pick in the 1972 NFL Draft, where he switched to offensive tackle. He played seven seasons in the National Football League before a knee injury ended his career. | 6,134,700 |

Villa María and Rufino Railway
The Villa María and Rufino Railway (VM&RR) (native name: Ferrocarril Villa María a Rufino) was a British-owned company that, towards the end of the 19th century, built and operated a broad gauge, , railway line in Argentina.
# History.
The VM&RR was granted a concession on 15 August 1887 to construct a 227 km line between Villa María in Córdoba Province, on the Central Argentine Railway (CAR), and Rufino in Santa Fe Province, on the Buenos Aires and Pacific Railway (BA&P). The section between Villa María and La Carlota was opened on 26 October 1890 and from La Carlota to Rufino on 23 March 1891.
The line passed through the developing grain zone, which lay between | 6,134,701 |
12328010 | Villa María and Rufino Railway | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Villa%20María%20and%20Rufino%20Railway | Villa María and Rufino Railway
ssed through the developing grain zone, which lay between the main lines operated by the BA&P and the CAR, and became a valuable feeder for the former railway. At that time the VM&R provided farmers situated along its route with their only direct access to the port and market of Buenos Aires.
Because of their common interests the VM&RR and the BA&P forged close links until finally, in 1900, the BA&P took over the VM&R.

ICCA Congress & Exhibition
The ICCA Congress is the annual meeting of the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA), an organization of the main specialists in handling, transporting and accommodating international events.
It has been held every year since 1963 as a General Assembly for ICCA members. As a meeting for members only, has been traditionally held in October/November and has rotated throughout the world. It has lasted approximately 4 days and consisted of category meetings combined with education sessions.
In 1997, the format was changed to combine the General Assembly with a Congress that would be open to all professionals in the meetings industry including non-ICCA | 6,134,704 |
12328032 | ICCA Congress & Exhibition | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=ICCA%20Congress%20&%20Exhibition | ICCA Congress & Exhibition
members. At the same time an exhibition was held with both member and non-member exhibitors. As of 2010 the exhibition no longer takes place.
The event attracts approximately 600-1000 delegates and 40-100 accompanying persons, depending on the destination. The current format of the event is half a day for the First Time Attendees (Sunday morning), half day for the General Assembly (Sunday) and three days for the Congress (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday am). Because the General Assembly and Congress is the key focal point of ICCA’s annual activity, the responsibility to deliver a well-organised and managed event of a top-quality standard is an exciting challenge to a destination. A high standard | 6,134,705 |

ates and 40-100 accompanying persons, depending on the destination. The current format of the event is half a day for the First Time Attendees (Sunday morning), half day for the General Assembly (Sunday) and three days for the Congress (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday am). Because the General Assembly and Congress is the key focal point of ICCA’s annual activity, the responsibility to deliver a well-organised and managed event of a top-quality standard is an exciting challenge to a destination. A high standard in all aspects of meetings management is expected - programming, marketing, theming, social activities, logistical arrangements, etc.

12328041 | Walter Branscombe | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Walter%20Branscombe | Walter Branscombe
Walter Branscombe
Walter Branscombe (c. 1220–1280) was Bishop of Exeter from 1258 to 1280.
# Origins.
Nothing for certain is known of Walter Branscombe's origins and education, but he is thought to have been born in Exeter in about 1220. In the opinion of William George Hoskins he was a member of the family of "de Branscombe" seated at the manor of Edge in the parish of Branscombe east Devon, situated about 16 miles east of Exeter; although others appear to dispute this. John Prince (1643-1723), in his "Worthies of Devon", says he was a native of Exeter, and "born there of poor and mean parentage". Prince appears to be quoting an earlier authority, Bishop Francis Godwin (1562-1633), who writes | 6,134,714 |
12328041 | Walter Branscombe | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Walter%20Branscombe | Walter Branscombe
of Walter Bronscombe:""Patre natus Exoniensi cive, sed tenuissimae sortis et ex plebe infimâ"", and it is not clear that the Branscombe family, who filled various positions of responsibility and authority in the fourteenth century, married into the high Devonshire families of Courtenay and Champernowne, held land at Colyton, and took their name from the parish ever lived at Edge, Branscombe which, from the reign of King Edward III, was home to the Wadham family.
# Career.
Branscombe held a prebend in of St Nicholas's College at Wallingford Castle, as well as a number of other benefices. He also was archdeacon of Surrey. In 1250, he acted as King Henry III of England's representative at the | 6,134,715 |
12328041 | Walter Branscombe | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Walter%20Branscombe | Walter Branscombe
papal curia, and was appointed the king's proctor the next year. Besides being a royal clerk, he was often named as a papal chaplain also. Before 1254 he became a canon of Exeter Cathedral.
Branscombe was elected to the see of Exeter on 23 February 1258 and consecrated on 10 March 1258. He was ordained a priest on 10 March 1258, with both rites being performed by Boniface of Savoy, the Archbishop of Canterbury. He was enthroned at Exeter on 14 April 1258.
Maurice Powicke's opinion was that, having been trained in the royal service, Branscombe settled down to become an assiduous diocesan bishop. He faced some problems at the start of his time as bishop, for right after the death of the previous | 6,134,716 |
12328041 | Walter Branscombe | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Walter%20Branscombe | Walter Branscombe
bishop, Richard Blund, a number of Blund's officials and clerks had used Blund's seal to forge letters giving away benefices as well as Blund's property. This left Branscombe with debts and administrative issues. He also continued to perform diplomatic missions for the king, as he was at Paris in 1258 and 1263. He attended a general council of the church held at Lyons in the summer of 1274.
Branscombe's register of his diocesan administration is the earliest episcopal one surviving from Exeter. He was a founder of a number of churches in his diocese, and issued sets of instructions for his cathedral church as well as others in his diocese. His last years were occupied with a dispute with Edmund | 6,134,717 |
12328041 | Walter Branscombe | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Walter%20Branscombe | Walter Branscombe
iving from Exeter. He was a founder of a number of churches in his diocese, and issued sets of instructions for his cathedral church as well as others in his diocese. His last years were occupied with a dispute with Edmund the Earl of Cornwall over the earl's infringement of ecclesiastical rights.
Branscombe died on 22 July 1280 at Bishopsteignton. He was buried in Exeter Cathedral, where his tomb, with the bishop's effigy, still survives. It remained unscathed during the Exeter Blitz, being protected by sand bags.

MTA Maryland bus service
The Maryland Transit Administration provides the primary public bus service for the Baltimore Metropolitan Area and commuter bus service in other parts of the state of Maryland. There are currently 76 bus routes, which include 43 LocalLink routes, 12 High Frequency CityLink Routes routes, 9 express bus routes (which operate from various suburbs to downtown Baltimore), 19 commuter bus routes, and 5 Intercounty Connector or "ICC" routes (which operate from various locations mainly in central Maryland to Washington D.C. or various Metrorail stations). The local and commuter bus routes operate in conjunction with one subway line, three light rail lines, MARC train service, | 6,134,719 |
12328006 | MTA Maryland bus service | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MTA%20Maryland%20bus%20service | MTA Maryland bus service
and various connections to other transit agencies.
# Operation.
The MTA's bus service operates throughout the Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan Area and other parts of the state. These include: 12 City Link High Frequency Color Routes. In addition to LocalLink routes 21 through 95; Express BusLink routes 103, 104, 105, 115, 120, 150, 154, 160, and 164; Intercounty Connector routes 201 through 205; Commuter bus routes 310 through 995.
https://mta.maryland.gov/local-bus
## Local buses.
In June 2017 as part of MD Gov. Larry Hogan's initiative to have a better transit system in Baltimore he launched Baltimore Link.
Local bus lines are identified with a one- or two-digit number. Many of the | 6,134,720 |
12328006 | MTA Maryland bus service | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MTA%20Maryland%20bus%20service | MTA Maryland bus service
numerical designations have origins dating back to the days of the Baltimore streetcars and share the route numbers of the respective streetcars that operated along the same streets.
Most local buses operate regular service seven days a week throughout most hours of the day and evening. Some routes operate 24 hours. A small number of routes operate without evening service, on weekdays only, during peak hours only, or only at the times needed for certain employers.
Until 2009, a series of routes operated in the northwest part of the city and suburbs known as "Metro connection buses". These routes had designations of the letter M followed by a number, and operated from a Metro station to a specified | 6,134,721 |
12328006 | MTA Maryland bus service | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MTA%20Maryland%20bus%20service | MTA Maryland bus service
location or between two Metro stations. When the Metro connection bus service began in 1984, it used designations beginning with the letter M (Mondawmin), R (Rogers Avenue), or P (Plaza), followed by a number. After the Metro was extended to Owings Mills in 1987, only the letter M was used, and it denoted "Metro."
Since 1988, the number of M-lines had declined, as many of them were consolidated, and some were completely eliminated. After the first phase of the Greater Baltimore Bus Initiative took effect in 2005, only seven M-lines remained, though this increased to eight after Route M-6 was restored months later.
Throughout 2008 and 2009, all M-lines were renamed to plain two-digit numerical | 6,134,722 |
12328006 | MTA Maryland bus service | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MTA%20Maryland%20bus%20service | MTA Maryland bus service
designations, ranging from 52 to 54 and 56 to 60. During this series of revisions, route changes were also made to some of them, including merging some, splitting others, and completely eliminating part of Route M-17 without any replacement.
## Express, Commuter, and Intercounty Connector buses.
The MTA's express routes should not be confused with the "express" trips assigned to several of the local bus routes. Express routes are dedicated to providing rapid service by limiting the number of stops along the route. The number of express routes has declined over the past two decades as new rapid transit services have been constructed, and poor-performing routes were eliminated or consolidated.
Unlike | 6,134,723 |
12328006 | MTA Maryland bus service | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MTA%20Maryland%20bus%20service | MTA Maryland bus service
the commuter buses, express bus routes serve areas where local buses are available. Comparable slower trips can also be accomplished with local buses. Commuter routes, however, provide service between locations not connected by local bus routes.
Both the express and commuter routes, identified with 3-digit numbers, offer limited service mostly during weekday rush hour between downtown Baltimore or Washington and various Park-and-Ride lots or other suburban locations in the state of Maryland. The commuter routes, designated with higher numbers, are operated by contractors rather than MTA employees.
The newest addition to the commuter bus service since 2010, known as "Intercounty Connector" | 6,134,724 |
12328006 | MTA Maryland bus service | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MTA%20Maryland%20bus%20service | MTA Maryland bus service
or "ICC" for short, operates from Gaithersburg to BWI Marshall Airport, University of Maryland College Park or DoD/Fort Meade, traveling along the newly built Intercounty Connector expressway in central Maryland.
## Neighborhood Shuttle Bug.
Two of the local routes MTA operates are considered "neighborhood shuttles", also known as "Shuttle Bugs". These local routes focus on a specific neighborhood and the transportation of persons within these communities.
During the early 2000s, MTA introduced two such routes. These routes, rather than operating like others around town, have differences that include:
- Reduced fare for a single ride: $1.00 rather than the $1.60 charged on regular buses. | 6,134,725 |
12328006 | MTA Maryland bus service | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MTA%20Maryland%20bus%20service | MTA Maryland bus service
MTA unlimited ride passes (also known as "GO-passes") also cover the fare.
- In 2006, three shorter, distinctively painted buses, 30-foot Opus buses were purchased and are used exclusively by the Mondawmin shuttle. The Opus buses are the only non 40- and 60-foot buses in MTA's fleet; held at Northwest (4) garage. In mid-2011, MTA retired the three 30-foot Opus buses due to reliability issues.
- Schedules are printed in full color, rather than the monochrome design of most printed schedules, in order to attract more riders.
- Bus stop signs have unique identifications different from usual bus stops. The Hampden Shuttle is identified by a ladybug, and the Mondawmin Shuttle uses the grasshopper | 6,134,726 |
12328006 | MTA Maryland bus service | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MTA%20Maryland%20bus%20service | MTA Maryland bus service
symbol.
The Hampden Shuttle Bug was the first of seven shuttle routes originally planned for Baltimore and its suburbs. Only the Hampden and Mondawmin routes were implemented; no timetable was ever set for other neighborhood shuttle routes.
A proposed Shuttle Bug route between Randallstown and the Owings Mills Metro Subway Station was fought by residents along the route the shuttle would take. Objections included that the service would operate on quiet residential streets not accustomed to bus traffic, and area residents did not need the service.
In 2005 and 2006, in various phases of the Greater Baltimore Bus Initiative, MTA proposed various changes to these routes which included routing | 6,134,727 |
12328006 | MTA Maryland bus service | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MTA%20Maryland%20bus%20service | MTA Maryland bus service
changes and threats to eliminate Route 98 completely and reduce service on Route 97 to once an hour. The only change that was actually made was a shift on Route 98 in 2008 to replace service on Roland Avenue, that was lost through a change to Route 27.
## QuickBus.
In 2005, MTA introduced a new form of express transit, known as “rapid bus service.” The first of these services was designated Route 40. The line operates every 10–15 minutes from the western to the eastern suburbs of Baltimore through the downtown area, serving various communities in West and East Baltimore. Stops are limited to major intersections, transfer points, and points of interest. Unlike other express buses, local fares | 6,134,728 |
12328006 | MTA Maryland bus service | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MTA%20Maryland%20bus%20service | MTA Maryland bus service
are applicable on Route 40. Route 40 was later named "QuickBus."
In 2009, a new "QuickBus" route was introduced. Designated as QuickBus 48, it operates along the same route as Route 8 minus the section north of Towson Town Center. Introduction of another QuickBus service that would operate along the route Route 3 and would have carry the designation "Route 43", but this proposal was delayed.
Two more QuickBus routes began service on August 30, 2010 until June 17, 2017. QuickBus 46 operates alongside routes 5 and 10 from Paradise Avenue loop to Cedonia Loop. QuickBus 47 travel along the route 15 from Walbrook Junction to Overlea Loop. Both buses operate on weekdays at peak hours only.

## Notes.
- The "New Flyer DE60LFs" were ordered by MTA on a rejection order from Chicago Transit Authority in 2009 and was purchased in 2010, but did not begin revenue service until August 2011.
- In May 2014, MTA released a bid solicitation, solicitation reference T-8000-0451 due on June 12, 2014 for 41 new hybrid transit buses. New Flyer won the contract for 41 XDE40s.
- In May 2015, MTA released a bid solicitation, solicitation reference OPS-15-008-EQ due on an unknown date for 87 new 40 foot diesel transit buses for FY 2016. On 5-28-2015, the bid solicitation page was updated with a "Pre-Bid Attendance Sheet" which lists two bus manufacturers, New Flyer, MTA's current vendor | 6,134,730 |
12328006 | MTA Maryland bus service | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MTA%20Maryland%20bus%20service | MTA Maryland bus service
and Nova Bus. Also, on 6-01-2015, the bid solicitation page was updated with an "Opening Bid Date Change" from 07/21/2015 2:00:00 PM EDT to 08/04/2015 2:00:00 EDT.
- It's being reported that there will not be a bus order for 2015, suggesting the diesel buses that will be ordered will possibly be numbered 16001-16087.
- The contract for the New Flyer XD40s was modified from 87 total buses to 172 total buses to help supplement Governor Larry Hogan's BaltimoreLink bus improvement plan. The XD40s are currently being delivered and some were seen in revenue service as of Friday, July 15, 2016. In the January 27, 2016 Maryland Board of Public Works meeting agenda, it was revealed that the bus order | 6,134,731 |
12328006 | MTA Maryland bus service | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MTA%20Maryland%20bus%20service | MTA Maryland bus service
has been split between 2016 and 2017 suggesting the numbering could be 16001-16??? and 17001-17???.
- On order as of October 2, 2017 is 140 New Flyer XD40s scheduled to enter revenue service sometime in 2018.
- The Maryland Board of Public Works on June 20, 2018 approved a $211,771,542 contract that awarded a joint order of 40 and 60 foot buses to NovaBus to be delivered between FY 2020-FY 2024. This order will mark the very first time MTA is ordering buses from NovaBus.
## Bus Fleet Notes.
The first two digits of every local bus on the MTAs fleet indicate the year the bus was built. Although the 30 hybrid articulated buses (series 08001-08030) purchased from New Flyer began service during | 6,134,732 |
12328006 | MTA Maryland bus service | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MTA%20Maryland%20bus%20service | MTA Maryland bus service
2009, they were ordered and built in 2008; or like the New Flyer XDE40 hybrids (series 11001-11057) ordered in mid-2011, but will did not go into revenue service until the winter of 2012. Another exception to this are the 2013 New Flyer XDE60 hybrids (series 12081-12090) ordered in 2013 however will not start with 13000 but will contain fleet numbers that would suggest it was built and ordered in 2012 however 12081-12090 are in fact, MTA's first 10 new buses of 2013. The following cited picture was taken on board of 12081 that shows the manufacture date of 12081 as January 2013.
The three Optima Bus Opus models (series 06011-06013) were purchased second-hand from Annapolis Transit in 2006, | 6,134,733 |

and specifically for the Mondawmin "Shuttle Bug" service. The models have been retired since 2010 and has been sent back to MTA in 2016 for scrapping.
During summer seasons, the MTA loans several of its articulated buses to the Ocean City Transportation bus fleet in Ocean City, Maryland to accommodate the large ridership of the summer season. Ocean City runs the buses from around Memorial Day until around Labor Day, returning them to the MTA at the end of the summer season.
One 1996 NABI articulated bus, 9619 was saved and converted into MTA's official "Comfort Bus," a bus specially designed to be dispatched to special events in Baltimore City during the summer to provide air conditioning | 6,134,734 |
12328006 | MTA Maryland bus service | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MTA%20Maryland%20bus%20service | MTA Maryland bus service
to the attendees of special events and to be dispatched around the city for displaced city residents whose homes were made uninhabitable by fire or other causes to provide them heat in the winter and air conditioning in the summer. The interior for 9619 was heavily modified from its revenue service design with three interior roof mounted AC units, modified seating arrangement, tables, a water cooler, microwave, mini-fridge, wall electrical outlets, and a door facing the public-area of the bus prohibiting access from going in and out of the front door, entrance and exit for the public is only through the rear door. Artscape 2015 was the very first event with very high temperatures that 9619 was | 6,134,735 |
12328006 | MTA Maryland bus service | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MTA%20Maryland%20bus%20service | MTA Maryland bus service
deployed to as the official MTA Maryland Comfort Bus and the bus had major problems keeping the interior comfortably air conditioned from the three interior roof mounted AC units that were installed. MTA on July 20, 2015 posted to their Facebook page in a comment to an Artscape 2015 attendee who boarded 9619 and experienced the lack of air conditioning: "We spoke with the HVAC specialists who work on the Comfort Zone Bus and they are aware of and working on the issue. Sorry for the discomfort you experienced. Because the Comfort Zone Bus is a new innovation, sometimes it takes a trial or two to get the bugs worked out. Thanks for letting us know!"
## Hybrid vehicles (2008-2014).
Former Governor | 6,134,736 |
12328006 | MTA Maryland bus service | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MTA%20Maryland%20bus%20service | MTA Maryland bus service
Martin O'Malley announced, in 2008, a commitment to convert the MTA's fleet to hybrid-electric buses by 2014 after the previous order of ten DE40LFRs in 2006. This involves purchasing up to 500 hybrids over a five-year period. In 2009, the MTA put the first 130 New Flyer hybrids into service. Thirty of the hybrids were the 60-foot articulated "DE60LFR" model (ordered in 2008) and one-hundred were the 41-foot "DE41LFR" model (ordered in 2009). In 2010, forty-one more hybrids joined the fleet. These buses are "DE40LFR" models, similar to the DE41LFR, but with the air conditioning unit mounted on the top front half of the vehicle to make it appear with a streamline roof styling. In 2011, twelve | 6,134,737 |
12328006 | MTA Maryland bus service | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MTA%20Maryland%20bus%20service | MTA Maryland bus service
"DE60LF" articulated hybrids began service August as rejects from a previous CTA order in 2009. The 60-foot DE60LF, similar configuration to DE60LFR except with the original model style. These buses are intended for the most heavily traveled routes carrying up to 100 passengers sitting and standing.
Since 2006, the MTA has put one hundred ninety-three hybrid buses in service and has plans for fifty-seven more hybrids from New Flyer (known as "Xcelsior" or "XDE40" model) scheduled to arrive in January 2012. On October 7, 2011, MTA Maryland posted on their official Facebook page, a picture of 11001 one of the first XDE40s to roll off of New Flyer's production line for Baltimore with the caption | 6,134,738 |
12328006 | MTA Maryland bus service | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MTA%20Maryland%20bus%20service | MTA Maryland bus service
of "MTA's first pilot Xcelsior Bus is here! Can't wait to get it on the streets of Baltimore!" New features of the hybrid buses (since 2008) include:
For four consecutive years, MTA ordered a total of 211 New Flyer Xcelsior hybrid buses from 2011-2014. As of 2015, the state of Maryland elected a new governor, Larry Hogan whose administration removed the previous MTA administrator, appointed by former governor Martin O'Malley, to appoint a new administrator, Paul Comfort. In m-d-2016, the new administration decided to stop the trending order of diesel-electric hybrid buses started by former Governor O'Malley's administration. The ordering of low-sulfur "diesel" buses was a financial decision | 6,134,739 |
12328006 | MTA Maryland bus service | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MTA%20Maryland%20bus%20service | MTA Maryland bus service
to receive more vehicles with less maintenance issues in-contrast to the numerous flaws hybrid buses tend to endure on a daily basis. The first order of such vehicles is expected to arrive in FY2016. A bid solicitation was released in 2015 for 87 "low-sulfur diesel" buses. It is currently unknown as of August 6, 2015 if this will become a permanent or temporary process to ordering diesel-only transit buses. Less than five months after the announcement, MTA received $100 million in investment to order 172 New Flyer diesel buses - lone bidder during the election process - to modernize, as well as, maximize the number of buses due to be in the system's revenue operations fleet FY2017. Some of these | 6,134,740 |
12328006 | MTA Maryland bus service | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MTA%20Maryland%20bus%20service | MTA Maryland bus service
ue to be in the system's revenue operations fleet FY2017. Some of these buses will be integrated into the administration's new CityLINK service beginning June 2017.
# Bus yards.
MTA local bus service in Baltimore is divided into four divisions, each served by its own maintenance yard. The first digit of a bus's "block number", attached to the bottom right corner of its windshield (from inside of bus), indicates its "base" division. The buses also feature a small letter suffix to the fleet series number. The letter represent the 'first letter' of the division's "name" from where the bus is based.

Ayoze Díaz
Ayoze Díaz Díaz (born 25 May 1982), known simply as Ayoze, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a left back, and is the current assistant manager of UD Granadilla Tenerife Sur.
# Football career.
Born in San Cristóbal de La Laguna, Canary Islands, and brought through the ranks of local CD Tenerife, Ayoze made his debut with the first team in 1999–2000. In the summer of 2003, after just one full season in the second division, he joined La Liga side Racing de Santander, where he was relatively used as a defender or midfielder in his first three years (with a loan to soon-to-be-extinct Ciudad de Murcia in between).
During the 2007–08 campaign, as the Cantabria side achieved | 6,134,748 |

three years (with a loan to soon-to-be-extinct Ciudad de Murcia in between).
During the 2007–08 campaign, as the Cantabria side achieved a first-ever qualification to the UEFA Cup, Ayoze became first-choice, relegating historical and veteran Luis Fernández to the bench.
In July 2008, Ayoze signed a three-year contract with RCD Mallorca, replacing Sevilla FC-bound Fernando Navarro. During his first year he started as backup to another newly signed, Enrique Corrales, but finished in the starting XI.
In the 2009–10 season, as Mallorca finished in fifth position and qualified for the Europa League, Ayoze completely won the battle for first-choice status over Corrales, appearing in 33 matches. | 6,134,749 |

12328231 | Societal psychology | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Societal%20psychology | Societal psychology
Societal psychology
Societal psychology is a development within social psychology which emphasizes the all-embracing force of the social, institutional, and cultural environments, and with it the study of social phenomena in their own right as they affect, and are affected by, the members of the particular society. The term "societal psychology" was coined by Hilde Himmelweit and George Gaskell in 1990, in preference to sociological social psychology, to avoid a single alliance to one other discipline.
Societal psychology is proffered as a counterweight to mainstream social psychology's concentration on the study of the individual's thoughts, feelings and actions, while paying little attention | 6,134,753 |
12328231 | Societal psychology | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Societal%20psychology | Societal psychology
to the study of the environment, its culture and its institutions. Societal psychology seeks to address these issues and in so doing calls into question many of social psychology's basic assumptions.
Research within the framework of societal psychology is not restricted to a few psychological methods, such as experimentation. Scholars in the field use the whole range of qualitative and quantitative social science methods and attempt to triangulate and validate their findings by different methods. The choice and actual sequence of methods used depends on the particular problem addressed.
A number of theories are held to be particularly relevant to the development of societal psychology, such | 6,134,754 |
12328231 | Societal psychology | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Societal%20psychology | Societal psychology
as Henri Tajfel's theories of social identity and intergroup relations, and Serge Moscovici's theories of social change and minority influence, the theory of social representations, as well as some approaches and methods from media studies, and discourse analysis, among others.
Societal psychology is characterised by fifteen key propositions:
- 1. Human beings need to be studied in a sociocultural context
- 2. The individual and the collective cannot be separated ontologically
- 3. The ecology of the environment, its objective characteristics, needs to be studied alongside its mediated reality
- 4. People create social organizations—but it is the social organizations that recast people
- | 6,134,755 |
12328231 | Societal psychology | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Societal%20psychology | Societal psychology
5. Innovation is as much an imperative of the social system of relations to the environment as is conformity
- 6. The aim of societal psychology is the development of conceptual frameworks or models rather than the forlorn search for invariant laws
- 7. The need for theoretical and methodological pluralism
- 8. There is a need to maintain a historical perspective
- 9. Cross-fertilization between societal psychology and the other social sciences is indispensable for the adequate analysis of social phenomena and social systems
- 10. There is a need for cross-fertilization among societal, developmental, and personality psychologists
- 11. There is also a need for cross-fertilization between | 6,134,756 |

- 12. Societal psychology requires a systems approach
- 13. The study of a social phenomenon requires a multilevel approach, at the macro as well as the micro level

12328146 | The Sect of the Phoenix | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Sect%20of%20the%20Phoenix | The Sect of the Phoenix
The Sect of the Phoenix
The Sect of the Phoenix (original Spanish title: "La secta del Fénix") is a short story by Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges, first published in "Sur" in 1952. It was included in the 1956 edition of "Ficciones", part two ("Artifices"). The title has also been translated as "The Cult of the Phoenix."
# Plot summary.
Borges gives an enigmatic description (or at least, assertion of the existence) of a secret society dating back to ancient times, the members of which "resemble every man in the world" and whose membership consists simply of the performance of a strange ritual.
# Discussion on Meaning.
Essentially the story is an extended riddle, the mysterious description | 6,134,758 |
12328146 | The Sect of the Phoenix | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Sect%20of%20the%20Phoenix | The Sect of the Phoenix
referring to a commonplace fact (as Borges points out in the prologue to "Artifices"). The probable and common answer is that the riddle refers to sexual intercourse, and Borges himself confessed as much. However, in relation to the debate on Borges' sexual orientation, it is argued by some that the secret Borges had in mind was, more specifically, homosexual intercourse or homosexuality in general; to support this, they point to such clues as “scattered across the face of the earth, […] only one thing — the Secret — unites them and will unite them until the end of time”. Against this reading, however, one might observe the story's claim that "the history of the sect records no persecutions", | 6,134,759 |
12328146 | The Sect of the Phoenix | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Sect%20of%20the%20Phoenix | The Sect of the Phoenix
which cannot be true if the 'Secret' is homosexual intercourse. Moreover, the name of the sect associates it with the mythological Phoenix, suggesting regeneration and renewal of life: the more obvious analogy, therefore, would be with procreative (that is, heterosexual) intercourse. According to Terence McKenna’s comments in a conference in December 1982, the Secret refers to a religious community based on the use of hallucinogenic plants, which has existed for millennia. It is also referred to in "El Aleph", a precursor to this story.
The odd materials mentioned by Borges(*) as employed in the Secret act were given to him during a conversation with his friend 'the poet Betina Edelberg': cork, | 6,134,760 |
12328146 | The Sect of the Phoenix | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Sect%20of%20the%20Phoenix | The Sect of the Phoenix
wax or gum arabic or silt were all meant as a joke making allusion to the odd materials that could be employed in innumerable varieties of sexual practices.
(*)"[“...A slave, a leper or a beggar could act as mystagogues. Also a child can indoctrinate another child. The act itself is trivial, momentary and requires no description. The materials are cork, wax or gum arabic. (The liturgy speaks of silt; this is also often used.) There are no temples specially dedicated to the celebration of this cult, but a ruin, a basement or hall are considered propitious sites. ”]"
Prof. Daniel Balderston, the director of the Borges Center, brought up Borges' erotic drive when he interpreted 'The Sect of the | 6,134,761 |
12328146 | The Sect of the Phoenix | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Sect%20of%20the%20Phoenix | The Sect of the Phoenix
Phoenix' as an autobiographic tale of 'male bonding' and 'anal penetration'. It is thought that Borges may never have had coitus with any woman, but he acknowledged in a TV interview with journalist and writer Antonio Carrizo to have had experienced sexual intercourse in adulthood with at least a man. Borges added: “what a horror when the next day I was told that what that man did to me was an act of pederasty”; surely he was told thus by his authoritarian mother who treated Georgie as an underage boy all her life.
In 'Borges beyond interpretations...' Anders Johansson questioned Balderton's interpretation thus: “... the latter passage in particular does not harmonize with Balderston’s idea | 6,134,762 |
12328146 | The Sect of the Phoenix | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The%20Sect%20of%20the%20Phoenix | The Sect of the Phoenix
that the sect of the Phoenix is constituted by ”‘male bonding,’ anal penetration” . How would cork, wax, gum Arabic or silt fit into that interpretation?” Johansson's take on the story further posits a lack of concrete meaning, in lieu of a riddle with a satisfactory solution.

Jehovahkill
Jehovahkill is the eighth album by Julian Cope, released in 1992. After the critical success of "Peggy Suicide" (1991), Cope's idea for "Jehovakill" was to incorporate a krautrock attitude into his music. He began recording the album with musicians Rooster Cosby and Donald Ross Skinner, while co-producing it with the latter. The sessions yielded what Cope considered to be his most sonically experimental material to date. Originally titleing the record "Julian H. Cope", he sent an eleven track version to Island Records, who initially rejected its release, but relentfully gave Cope extra recording sessions for the album. During the extra sessions, in which six extra songs were recorded, | 6,134,765 |
12327944 | Jehovahkill | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jehovahkill | Jehovahkill
the album became harder and was retitled "Jehovahkill".
Inspired by prehistoric monuments, the album features ancient, pre-Christian heathen and pagan themes, while commenting on "the destructivness of mainstream religion." The theme spread to the packaging, with the album cover depicting the Callanish Stones, a site with a cruciform layout that predates Christ by at least 2,000 years. Musically, the album combines krautrock with a dark folk sound. Upon release, it charted at number 20 on the UK Albums Chart, though Island Records dropped him soon after its release, leading to outrage in the music press. Upon release, the album proved to be one of Cope's biggest critical successes. "Select" | 6,134,766 |
12327944 | Jehovahkill | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jehovahkill | Jehovahkill
later named it the 36th best album of the 1990s, and "NME" named it the 95th greatest British album ever. A deluxe edition was released in 2006.
# Recording and development.
Julian Cope's seventh album and fifth album for Island Records, "Peggy Suicide" (1991), concerned itself with environmental issues, and was a critical comeback for Cope, if not quite a commercial one. During the world tour in promotion of "Peggy Suicide", Julian Cope, his guitarist, drummer and saxophonist Rooster Cosby and guitar technician Rizla Deutsch, all of whom listened to krautrock in the early 1970s, had debated "the psychie mix that had created krautrock's singular take on Western music," and reached the conclusion | 6,134,767 |
12327944 | Jehovahkill | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jehovahkill | Jehovahkill
that they could distill "the krautrock psyche" into a complete attitude which they would then apply to Cope's new album, much like that had with the R&B and Detroit soul styles on "Peggy Suicide".
After the world tour in promotion of "Peggy Suicide" ended in August 1991, Julian Cope entered the studio to record his next album with Cosby, Deutsch and keyboardist Donald Ross Skinner, with Cope and Skinner co-producing the album. Cope biographer Mick Houghton said that most of the album was recorded at the in-house studios of Island Records. Nonetheless, Skinner exempted himself from co-producing four of the album's songs while he worked with other musicians, and during this period, Cope, Cosby | 6,134,768 |
12327944 | Jehovahkill | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jehovahkill | Jehovahkill
and Deutsch reconvened to the cheap, 16-track machine-equipped South London recording studio belonging to Shawn Harvey, in order for Cope to visit his wife at the nearby King's College Hospital as they awaited their first child. In Harvey's studio, they recorded on second-hand tape. According to Cope, the "results were certainly more sonically imbalanced and experimental" than anything he'd previously achieved.
In 1992 Cope delivered his eleven-track "Julian H. Cope" album to Island Records. However, its "dark and challenging" content, with its lowly mixed drums and highly mixed vocals, was not well received by the label, with their managing director Marc Marot calling it "the most sonically | 6,134,769 |
12327944 | Jehovahkill | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jehovahkill | Jehovahkill
unappealing album he'd ever heard," and Cope's A&R man going as far as to describe "Slow Rider" as "the worst song he'd heard by anybody in his life". As such, Island refused to issue the album. When Cope explained that it was what he had set out to achieve and "would prefer to stand or fall by the results," Marot allowed him additional recording sessions at the label's Fallout Shelter Studios. Although the existing content remained almost untouched, the album, re-titled "Jehovahkill", was "ameliorated" with six further songs, including "Fa-Fa-Fa-Fine", "The Mystery Trend" and "No Hard Shoulder To Cry On". Cope noted the extra recording sessions made the album heavier and "more heathen" than | 6,134,770 |
12327944 | Jehovahkill | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jehovahkill | Jehovahkill
it had been in its previous incarnation, with one session culminated prematurely after smoke emitted from the studio's multi-core processor.
# Themes.
Cope would later describe "Jehovahkill" as the second instalment of an album trilogy that concerns Mother Earth, with the first being "Peggy Suicide" and the third being "20 Mothers"; in particular, "Jehovahkill" departs from the environmental concerns of "Peggy Suicide" and instead celebrates ancient, pre-Christianity heathen impulses, while noting what Cope, a self-described Odinist, believed to be "the destructiveness of mainstream religion." As a result, the prehistoric landscape was a big influence on "Jehovahkill". Cope said at the time | 6,134,771 |
12327944 | Jehovahkill | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jehovahkill | Jehovahkill
of the release that his interest in such subjects "just seemed to start from my life, I just found myself staggering towards it, really. It certainly wasn't anything I had been interested in before, but I found myself led down this route by reading people like Gurdjieff, then [Colin] Wilson and then on to Lethbridge." Cope coined the term "megalithomania" for his new found interests, and wrote about it in the liner notes.
The album name, a pun of Jehovah and "overkill", was described by one critic as perhaps referring "to the Judaeo-Christian repression of our natural pagan energies and inclinations; or perhaps to the kicking Cope hands out here to the deity." The album cover depicts the Callanish | 6,134,772 |
12327944 | Jehovahkill | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jehovahkill | Jehovahkill
Stones on the Isle of Lewis, a Neolithic site with a cruciform layout that predates Christ by at least 2,000 years. Cope had been photographed lying next to the monument on the cover of the "Peggy Suicide" single "Head"; the sleeve of "Jehovahkill", in contrast, uses a golden aerial plan of the monument on a vivid drue backdrop. In his book "How the Neolithics Influenced Rock 'n' Roll", Andrew Johnstone called the cover design a "bold iconographic approach," writing that "[t]he isolation of the monument's structure emphasises its completeness and the dramatic statement the builders made far greater than a photograph would. The monument moves away from being a stone structure, to that of being | 6,134,773 |
12327944 | Jehovahkill | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jehovahkill | Jehovahkill
a motif or logo."
In the liner notes is a depiction of the Neolithic henge monument and stone circles at Avebury, Wiltshire, built some 5,000 years ago, with accompanying text written by Cope, who invited listeners to visit the monument. Cope had photographed Avebury for the sleeve of "Peggy Suicide", and finding the monument's "pull" to be so great, he moved to the village of Avebury with his family in early 1992. Cope provided commentary on various other ancient megalithic sites and temples, alongside some of his own attendant poetry, throughout the rest of the booklet.
"Akhenaten" was described as "an investigation on Society's obsession with Christ." Asked by "The Independent" if he thought | 6,134,774 |
12327944 | Jehovahkill | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jehovahkill | Jehovahkill
the album's themes would alienate fans, Cope replied: "Oh, loads, but I never started out my career with any intention of tugging along all of them, and I've alienated people throughout. If I've had a period of real obscurity, I've alienated people who want me to be a pop singer. I'll go back and have hits, and I alienate people who are so messed up they only want delicate flowers to be their heroes. But hopefully I'll haul a few more along as well."
On the album's back cover appears the sentence "That'll be the deicide", a pun on the Buddy Holly song "That'll Be the Day". This was Cope's second Buddy Holly reference in his Mother Earth-themed trilogy, the first being the title of "Peggy Suicide" | 6,134,775 |
12327944 | Jehovahkill | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jehovahkill | Jehovahkill
itself which is a pun on the Holly song "Peggy Sue".
# Musical style.
Despite "Jehovahkill"'s heathen-themed lyrics, Ned Raggett of AllMusic described the album as primarily a musical project, with the music being "first and foremost" ahead of the lyrics, and also felt the tone of the album was looser than "Peggy Suicide". In total, "Jehovahkill" is 70 minutes long, and is split into three separate "Phases," – "Phase 1" (tracks 1–6), "Phase 2" (tracks 7–11) and "Phase 3" (tracks 12–16), – not unlike the concept of four "Phases" on "Peggy Suicide". Ivan Krielkamp of "Spin" magazine considers it a concept album and "a "Tommy" for the eco-generation." Cope described "Jehovahkill" as containing | 6,134,776 |
12327944 | Jehovahkill | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jehovahkill | Jehovahkill
a "heathen, dark folk sound," while Jon Savage of "The Guardian" noted the appearance of a "melodic folk" sound. Furthermore, the album incorporates acid rock and especially krautrock, being inspired by 1970s krautrock bands that had inspired Cope before such as Can, Faust, and Neu!, although this time the krautrock influence was larger. Additionally, Cope was seen in a Faust shirt during the promotion of the album. "Uncut" wrote that the album contains a "mad scramble" of krautrock, pop and techno dance music, while Jim DeRogatis called it psychedelic rock.
Many of the songs start with simplistic acoustic guitar intros, including the opening song "Soul Desert," before, in the words of Andy | 6,134,777 |
12327944 | Jehovahkill | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jehovahkill | Jehovahkill
Gill of "The Independent", then developing via overdub "accretions," "some into retro-hippy jams of boundless cosmicity like 'Necropolis', some into rave chants like 'Poet Is Priest...'." "Soul Desert" was described by Raggett as picking up "where "Peggy Suicide" left off with 'Las Vegas Basement', with the same low-key late-night vibe." Cope sings both subtly and hardly on the track, which becomes more uptempo in its second half. The tuneful, laid-back "The Mystery Trend" was described by Raggett as "rural blues-gone-drone rock." The instrumental "Necropolis" bears a strong krautrock influence, revealing Cope's infatuation with 1970s German rock music. Alongside "No Hard Shoulder to Cry On" | 6,134,778 |
12327944 | Jehovahkill | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jehovahkill | Jehovahkill
and "Cut My Friends Down", "Necropolis" was cited as one of the "absurd" tracks on the album by Alec Foege of "Spin".
"Poet Is Priest…", a krautrock/funk song, features "acoustic astrology" from astronomer and musician Fiorella Terenzi. It incorporates rave influences, and starts with a garage rock riff before moving toward "various sonic landscapes," with one of the song's few lyrics being its title. An unedited version, running to almost 22 minutes, was included on the bonus disc of the 2006 deluxe edition of the album. The self-mocking "Julian H. Cope" was described by Foege as "an ironic advertisement for [Cope]." A tribute to both Neu! and The Stooges, "The Subtle Energies Commission", | 6,134,779 |
12327944 | Jehovahkill | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jehovahkill | Jehovahkill
centred around "a whooshy drum and cymbal pattern," features numerous phased drums and touches of reverbed keyboard. "Fa-Fa-Fa-Fine" is a pop song with a regenerative lyrical theme, while "Peggy Suicide is Dead" serves as the album's coda.
# Release.
"Jehovahkill" was released on 19 October 1992 by Island Records; its CD release was pressed onto a single-disc, while the LP was packaged as a double album pressed onto only three sides, one for each "Phase", with the fourth side showing an etching instead. A double disc special edition with an extra disc entitled "Jehovahkill Companion", comprising outtakes from the sessions, was also issued. With the ballad "Fear Loves This Place" being issued | 6,134,780 |
12327944 | Jehovahkill | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jehovahkill | Jehovahkill
as the album's only single, the album peaked at number 20 on the UK Albums Chart. The artwork designer behind the American release of the album renamed "Necropolis" to "Necropolis (Neu 2)" without permission from Cope, who later reflected the designer had not heard of Neu!, so the word was meaningless to them but "in a matter which satisified them."
Nonetheless, within a week of the album's release, Island Records dropped Cope from their roster, claiming, "his critical appeal is on the up but his commercial appeal is dropping." The dismissal caused a large amount outrage in the music press, with "Select" even publishing the "Drude Aid" form, with the intention of mailing it to Marot, asking | 6,134,781 |
12327944 | Jehovahkill | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jehovahkill | Jehovahkill
why the label dropped Cope instead of several "lame head" acts signed to the label. Houghton reflected that Cope's popularity surged in the aftermath, appearing on the cover of the "NME" in January 1993 with the headline "Endangered Species" and, in two parallel readers' polls for "Best Male Artist" in "NME" and "Melody Maker", he came second in the former poll after Morrissey and third in the latter. In October 2006, a "Second Edition" of "Jehvoahkill" was released by Island Records, containing material from "Julian H. Cope" and the "Fear Loves This Place" EP, including the Dictaphone-recorded "Nothing".
# Critical reception.
"Jehovahkill" was well received by music critics. Cope biographer | 6,134,782 |
12327944 | Jehovahkill | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jehovahkill | Jehovahkill
Mick Houghton reflected that some critics called it Cope's best album since "Fried" and "a deeply fascinating work," while "Uncut" said "it was arguably Cope’s biggest critical success." Dave DiMartino of "Entertainment Weekly" rated the album B+ and said ""Jehovahkill" sounds like a guy with great taste having an orgy in a recording studio — and echoing everybody he’s ever liked in the process. Bless his burnt-out heart." Andy Gill of "The Independent" called it "one of the week's more inspired albums" and noted "an odd wholeness to the project, the kind of result only possible when an artist takes a flier and pursues his personal vision, heedless of fashion," while in a particularly praiseful | 6,134,783 |
12327944 | Jehovahkill | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jehovahkill | Jehovahkill
review for "Select" magazine, David Cavanagh wrote of the album: "Spend the rest of your life making sense of "Jehovahkill"."
Describing the album as a "strange but soothing act of rebellion," Alec Foege of "Spin" called "Jehovahkill" "Cope's most consistent album to date," saying he "pontificates less and crafts better melodies" and figured his "message to the universe" as "remarkably selfless and sane." Later reviews have also been gushing; in "The Great Rock Discography", Martin C. Strong rated the album 7 out of 10, saying that, "creatively, the double-album was an admirable effort," and wrote that Cope "captured the essence of the globe's destructive nature in songs such as 'Poet Is Priest…', | 6,134,784 |
12327944 | Jehovahkill | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jehovahkill | Jehovahkill
'Julian H. Cope' and 'The Tower'." Rating the album four stars out of five, Ned Raggett of AllMusic called the album a "another fine Cope album," and commented: "If "Jehovahkill" isn't quite as perfectly balanced as "Peggy Suicide", it comes darn close, definitely leaving the late-'80s trough behind." Also writing for AllMusic in a biography on Cope, James Christopher Monger called 'the record "another creative triumph."
"Select" magazine ranked the album at number 7 in their year-end Top 50 Albums of 1992 list, and later ranked it number 36 in their top 100 best albums of the 1990s list. Jim DeRogatis listed "Jehovahkill" as a key psychedelic rock album in his 1996 book "Kaleidoscope Eyes: | 6,134,785 |
12327944 | Jehovahkill | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jehovahkill | Jehovahkill
Psychedelic Rock From the 1960s to the 1990s". In 2006, "NME" ranked "Jehovahkill" at number 95 in their list of "The 100 Greatest British Albums Ever!" In a 2017 list for "The Quietus", Britt Daniel of the rock band Spoon included "Jehovahkill" in a list of his 13 favourite albums, calling it "the peak of his experimentation. It's also really great songwriting. It's a very, very kraut-influenced record. it's an expansive record. It was three sides. Not a full double album but it was three sides and on the fourth side you had an etching. He was always doing things like that. He was putting thought into it." Daniel regularly performed a cover version of "Up-Wards at 45°" at solo shows. In another | 6,134,786 |

MacWWW
MacWWW, also known as Samba, is an early minimalist web browser from 1992 meant to run on Macintosh computers. It was the first web browser for the classic Mac OS platform, and the first for any non-Unix operating system. MacWWW tries to emulate the design of WorldWideWeb. Unlike modern browsers it opens each link in a new window only after a double-click. It was a commercial product from CERN and cost 50 European Currency Units
The browser is no longer available from its original ftp location, but can still be downloaded from mirrors.
# History.
It was written at CERN by Robert Cailliau and later Nicola Pellow helped with the development. Pellow worked originally on the Line Mode | 6,134,788 |

Pre-alpha version were available, but this version worked only on "coliur [sic] mac but not on big black and white ones it seems."
Version 1.00 was released on 12 May 1993 with the commentary: "We know there is much to be improved, but it works well on system 7 and system 6.0.5".
# Features.

- For the hypertext object, the THINK C text object was modified to allow multifont capability, and to allow anchors to be encoded in the styles.
According to critics, within a year the browser became obsolete because Mosaic and MacWeb had much more features, for example MacWWW showed no loading status. Without the mouse and MacOS support MacWWW would be a text-mode browser.

Samuel San José Fernández
Samuel San José Fernández (born 1 March 1984), known simply as Samuel or Samu for short, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for SD Formentera as a central defender.
# Club career.
Born in Santander, Cantabria, Samu was a product of hometown Racing de Santander's youth system. He first appeared for its main squad on 11 September 2005, in a 0–1 home loss against Cádiz CF; he finished the season with seven appearances (all but one were complete matches) and four yellow cards, as the Cantabria side finished 17th in La Liga and narrowly avoided relegation.
After having served one season-long loan stint with Sporting de Gijón in the second division, Samu returned | 6,134,794 |
12328258 | Samuel San José Fernández | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Samuel%20San%20José%20Fernández | Samuel San José Fernández
and four yellow cards, as the Cantabria side finished 17th in La Liga and narrowly avoided relegation.
After having served one season-long loan stint with Sporting de Gijón in the second division, Samu returned to Racing but, midway through the 2007–08 campaign, would be loaned again, alongside teammate Christián Fernández, to second level strugglers UD Las Palmas. Both would be instrumental in helping the Canarians retain their league status.
Subsequently, Christian returned to Santander but Samu stayed, signing for three years with the option for a further one. He appeared in an average of 23 games in the following three division two seasons, with the club always managing to stay afloat. | 6,134,795 |

Fire Sale (film)
Fire Sale is a 1977 comedy film starring Alan Arkin (who also directed) as Ezra Fikus, Rob Reiner as his brother Russell, Vincent Gardenia as their father Benny, Sid Caesar as Benny's brother Sherman, Anjanette Comer as Marion (Ezra's wife), and Kay Medford as Ruth (Benny's wife).
# Plot.
Benny Fikus decides to cash in on his business' fire insurance by committing arson. Benny plans to have Sherman, who is in a mental hospital believing that World War II is still being fought, escape and burn down Benny's failing clothing store which he has made Sherman believe is a Nazi military headquarters.
During a vacation trip with Marion, Benny has a heart attack, and his sons Ezra | 6,134,796 |
12328269 | Fire Sale (film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fire%20Sale%20(film) | Fire Sale (film)
and Russell take over the store. The low self-esteemed Russell wants to expand the store and marry his girlfriend, while Ezra needs money to adopt an orphaned 6'8" African-American teenage boy named Booker T (Byron Stewart). Ezra needs Booker T. to play on the high-school basketball team he coaches because he has won a total of two games in seven years as a coach and is in danger of losing his job.
Russell discovers that his father is bankrupt, with his only asset being the surrender value on the store's fire insurance policy. Russell cashes in the policy and splits it with Ezra, using the money to buy more stock. Back at home, Benny is practically comatose after his heart attack. An "in denial" | 6,134,797 |
12328269 | Fire Sale (film) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fire%20Sale%20(film) | Fire Sale (film)
Marion is told by house painters helping with a home redecoration project that her husband is "very sick" which she interprets as Benny being already dead. She then decides to change redecoration plans to prepare for funeral services.
Meanwhile, Sherman has escaped and is on his way to burn down the "Nazi headquarters" (as he believes the store is). Benny recovers from his heart attack, and informs Russell that Sherman is on his way to burn down the store so they can collect the fire insurance that they no longer have.
Hilarity ensues as Ezra has his wife run his basketball team while he and Russell attempt to stop Sherman from his quest to fight the Huns "by any means necessary".
