Between 2002 and 2004, Ariel Castro kidnapped Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry, and Georgina "Gina" DeJesus from the streets of Cleveland, Ohio and later held them captive in his home of 2207 Seymour Avenue in the city's Tremont neighborhood. All three girls were imprisoned at Castro's home until 2013, when Berry successfully escaped with her six-year-old daughter, to whom she had given birth while imprisoned, and contacted the police. Police rescued Knight and DeJesus, and arrested Castro hours later.

Castro was charged with four counts of kidnapping and three counts of rape. He pleaded guilty to 937 criminal counts of rape, kidnapping and aggravated murder as part of a plea bargain. He was sentenced to life imprisonment plus 1,000 years in prison without the possibility of parole. One month into his life sentence, Castro died by suicide by hanging himself with bed sheets in his prison cell.

Kidnapper background
Ariel Castro was born in Duey, Yauco, Puerto Rico, the son of Pedro Castro and Lillian Rodriguez. His parents divorced when he was a child, and he moved to the mainland United States with his mother and three biological siblings. They first lived in Reading, Pennsylvania, before settling in Cleveland, Ohio, where Castro's father and several other family members were living. Castro had nine siblings (both biological and half) and graduated from Cleveland's Lincoln-West High School in 1979.

Castro met his girlfriend, Grimilda Figueroa, when his family moved into a house across the street from hers in the 1980s. Castro and Figueroa lived with both sets of their parents until they moved into their own home at 2207 Seymour Avenue, located in Cleveland's Tremont neighborhood, in 1992. Their home was a two-story, , four-bedroom, one-bathroom house with an  unfinished basement built in 1890 and remodeled in 1956.

According to Figueroa's sister, Elida Caraballo, she said that "all hell started breaking loose" when the couple moved into their new home. Caraballo claimed that Castro beat Figueroa, breaking her nose, ribs, and arms and causing a blood clot on her brain that resulted in an inoperable tumor. He also threw her down a flight of stairs, cracking her skull. In 1993, Castro was arrested for domestic violence, but was not indicted by a grand jury.

In 1996, Figueroa moved out of the house and secured custody of her four children. Police assisted in the move and detained Castro, but they did not press charges. Castro continued to threaten and attack Figueroa after she left him, according to Caraballo. Figueroa filed charges in 2005 in Cuyahoga County Domestic Relations Court, accusing Castro of inflicting multiple severe injuries on her and of "frequently" abducting their daughters. The court granted her a temporary restraining order against Castro, but it was dismissed a few months later. Figueroa died in 2012 due to complications from her brain tumor. Friends and relatives gathered on Denison Avenue on April 29, 2012, for memorial services in her honor.

Before his arrest at age 52, Castro worked as a bus driver for the Cleveland Metropolitan School District until he was fired in November 2012 for "bad judgment", including making an illegal U-turn with children on his bus, using his bus to go grocery shopping, leaving a child on the bus while he went for lunch, and leaving the bus unattended while he took a nap at home. He was earning $18.91 per hour when he was discharged. At the time of his arrest, Castro's home was in foreclosure after three years of unpaid real estate taxes.

Kidnappings

Castro kidnapped his victims by offering them a ride; he drove each to his home at 2207 Seymour Avenue, lured them inside, took them to the basement, and restrained them.

Michelle Knight
Michelle Knight (born April 23, 1981) disappeared on August 23, 2002, after leaving a cousin's house. She was 21 years old at the time. On the day of her disappearance, she was scheduled to appear in court for a child custody case involving her son Joey, who was in the custody of the state.

Following Knight's rescue, police acknowledged that limited resources had been spent on investigating her disappearance, in part because she was an adult. Authorities believed that she had run away voluntarily due to anger over losing custody of her son. According to Cleveland Deputy Police Chief Ed Tomba, she was "the focus of very few tips". Some criticized her subsequent removal from the National Crime Information Center database fifteen months after she disappeared, which made her largely unknown prior to her rescue. The Cleveland Division of Police (CDP) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) maintain that her inclusion or exclusion had no bearing on her rescue.

Amanda Berry
Amanda Marie Berry (born April 22, 1986) disappeared on April 21, 2003, the day before her 17th birthday. She was last heard from around 8:00p.m. when she called her sister to tell her that she was getting a ride home from her job at a Burger King at West 110th Street and Lorain Avenue. The FBI initially considered her a runaway until a week after her disappearance, when an unidentified male used her cell phone to call her mother. He said: "I have Amanda. She's fine and will be coming home in a couple of days".

Berry was featured in a 2004 segment of Fox's America's Most Wanted (re-aired in 2005 and 2006), which linked her to Gina DeJesus, who by that point had also gone missing in Cleveland. Berry and DeJesus were profiled on The Oprah Winfrey Show and The Montel Williams Show, where self-proclaimed psychic Sylvia Browne told Berry's mother Louwana Miller in November 2004 that her daughter was dead and that she was "in water". This pronouncement devastated her mother, causing her to take down pictures and give away Berry's computer. However, Miller continued to search for Berry before dying from heart failure in early March 2006. Later that year, on December 25, 2006, Berry gave birth to a daughter. DNA evidence has confirmed that Castro was the father of the child.

Robert Wolford was a prison inmate who had lived in Tremont, and he claimed in July 2012 that he had information about the location of Berry's body. He led police to an empty lot on Cleveland's West Side, where they conducted a fruitless search. He was sentenced in January 2013 to  years in prison for obstruction of justice, making a false report, and making a false alarm.

Gina DeJesus

Georgina "Gina" Lynn DeJesus (born February 13, 1990) went missing on April 2, 2004, at age 14. She was last seen at a payphone around 3:00p.m. while on the way home from her middle school at West 105th Street and Lorain Avenue. At the time, she was friends with Castro's daughter Arlene. Shortly before Gina disappeared, she and Arlene had called Arlene's mother, Grimilda Figueroa, for permission to have a sleepover at DeJesus's house, but Figueroa replied that they could not and the two girls parted ways. Arlene was the last person to see DeJesus before her disappearance.

DeJesus was under the impression that Castro was picking her up to drop her off at home, and she trusted Castro because she was friends with his teenage daughter. No one witnessed her abduction and an AMBER Alert was not issued, which angered her father. He said in 2006, "The Amber Alert should work for any missing child. ... Whether it's an abduction or a runaway, a child needs to be found. We need to change this law".

A year after DeJesus's disappearance, the FBI released a composite sketch and description of a male suspect, described as, "Latino, 25 to 35 years of age, , , with green eyes, a goatee, and possibly a pencil-thin beard". According to court records, Castro was , , with brown eyes and a goatee.

DeJesus was featured in the America's Most Wanted segment which linked her to Berry. The disappearances received regular media attention into 2012, while the families held public vigils. Castro attended at least two of these vigils, reportedly participated in a search party, and tried to get close to the DeJesus family. Castro's son Anthony was a journalism student in 2004, and he interviewed DeJesus's mother for an article about the disappearances in the Plain Press newspaper. Police kept the investigation open and offered a $25,000 reward for information.

According to Castro's uncle, his family knew the DeJesus family and had lived in the same neighborhood. Castro falsely claimed that he was not aware that DeJesus was a member of that family when he abducted her.

Captivity
Upon being kidnapped, Castro took Michelle Knight to the upper floor of his house, tied her hands and feet together, and pulled her up using her hands, feet, and neck. He left her there for three days without food. Prosecutors at Castro's sentencing wrote that diaries kept by his victims "speak of forced sexual conduct, of being locked in a dark room, of anticipating the next session of abuse, of the dreams of someday escaping and being reunited with family, of being chained to a wall, of being held like a prisoner of war, of missing the lives they once enjoyed, of emotional abuse, of his threats to kill, of being treated like an animal, of continuous abuse, and of desiring freedom". The women were kept in locked bedrooms, where they were forced to use plastic toilets that were "emptied infrequently". They were fed one meal a day and allowed to shower twice a week at most.

Knight told police that Castro had impregnated her at least five times and had induced miscarriages each time through beatings, hitting her with dumbbells, punching her, and slamming her against walls. He also starved her. Knight's grandmother told reporters that she would require facial reconstruction surgery due to the beatings that she endured, and had lost hearing in one ear. At one point, Knight had a pet dog while in captivity, but Castro killed it by snapping its neck after it bit him while trying to protect Knight. DeJesus told law enforcement that she was raped, but did not believe that she was ever impregnated.

On Christmas Day 2006, Castro allegedly ordered Knight to assist in the birth of Berry's child, which took place in a small inflatable swimming pool, and threatened to kill her if the baby did not survive. At one point, the baby stopped breathing, but Knight was able to resuscitate her. Castro occasionally took Berry's daughter out of the house, including to visit his mother; she called him "daddy" and Castro's mother "grandmother". In 2013, he showed one of his adult daughters a picture of the child and said that she was his girlfriend's daughter from a previous relationship; he had told others that she was his granddaughter. Berry taught her daughter how to read and write.

According to a statement from the CDP, officers visited Castro's home only once following the kidnappings to discuss an unrelated incident. Castro did not appear to be home at the time and was later interviewed elsewhere. Neighbors claimed to have called the police about suspicious activity observed at the home, but police have said that they have no record of any such calls. Castro's son Anthony reported that there were certain areas of the house that were locked and inaccessible. He also mentioned an occasion three weeks before the women's escape when Castro asked him if Berry would ever be found. Anthony said that he told Castro that Berry was likely dead, to which Castro responded: "Really? You think so?"

NBC affiliate WKYC reported that Castro recalled each of the three abductions in great detail during his interrogation and indicated that they were unplanned crimes of opportunity. According to WKYC's sources, Castro did not have an "exit plan" and believed that he would eventually be caught. He referred to himself as "coldblooded" and a sex addict. Police found a suicide note in the house in which he discussed the abductions and wrote that his money and possessions should be given to the kidnapped women if he were caught.

Escape and rescue
On May 6, 2013, Berry was finally able to make contact with Castro's neighbors, leading to her escape with her 6-year-old daughter and the rescue of DeJesus and Knight by authorities. According to police, Castro had left the house that day and Berry realized that he had failed to lock the "big inside door", although the exterior storm door was bolted. She did not attempt to break through the outer door because she thought that Castro "was testing her", according to the police report. Previously, Castro had tested the women by leaving the house partially unlocked and exits unsecured. If they attempted to escape, he beat them. Instead, Berry screamed for help when she saw neighbors through the screen.

Neighbor Angel Cordero responded to the screaming, but was unable to communicate with Berry because he spoke little English. Neighbor Charles Ramsey joined Cordero at the house's front door during the rescue. They kicked a hole through the bottom of the storm door and Berry crawled through, carrying her daughter. Ramsey said that Berry told him that she and her child were being kept inside the house against her will. Upon being freed, she went to the house of another Spanish-speaking neighbor and, with Ramsey's assistance, called 9-1-1, saying: "Help me, I've been kidnapped, and I've been missing for ten years. And I'm here. I'm free now!"

Responding police officers Anthony Espada, Michael Tracy and Barbara Johnson entered Castro's house. They walked through an upstairs hallway with guns drawn, announcing themselves as CDP. After peeking out from a slightly opened bedroom door, Knight entered the hallway and leaped into an officer's arms, repeatedly saying, "You saved me." Soon afterward, DeJesus entered the hallway from another room. Knight and DeJesus walked out of the house, and all three women, plus the child, were taken to MetroHealth Medical Center. Berry and DeJesus were released from the hospital the next day, and Knight was discharged four days later on May 10.

Arrest and legal proceedings

Castro was arrested on May 6, 2013. He was charged with four counts of kidnapping and three counts of rape on May 8, which carry prison sentences of ten years to life in Ohio. Two of Castro's brothers, Pedro and Onil, were also initially taken into custody, but were released on May 9 after police announced that they had no involvement in the kidnappings. The charges against the two brothers were dropped.

Castro made his first court appearance at the Cleveland Municipal Court on May 9, where bail was set at $2 million per kidnapping charge, adding to a total of $8 million. Prosecutors intended to seek the death penalty against Castro. Additional charges were reported to be pending, including aggravated murder (for intentional induction of miscarriages), attempted murder, assault, a charge for each instance of rape, and a kidnapping charge for each day each captive was held. On May 14, Castro's attorneys said he would plead "not guilty" to all charges if indicted for kidnapping and rape.

A Cuyahoga County grand jury returned a true bill of indictment against Castro on June 7. It contained 329 counts, including two counts of aggravated murder (under different sections of the Ohio criminal code) for his role in the termination of one of the women's pregnancies. The indictments covered only the period from August 2002 to February 2007. The county prosecutor, Timothy J. McGinty, stated that the investigation was ongoing, and that any further findings would be presented to the grand jury. McGinty said that pursuing a death penalty specification would be considered following completion of indictment proceedings.

After entering a not guilty plea for Castro on June 12, one of his attorneys, Craig Weintraub, said that although some of the charges against Castro were indisputable, "it is our hope that we can continue to work toward a resolution to avoid having an unnecessary trial about aggravated murder and the death penalty". He noted, "We are very sensitive to the emotional strain and impact that a trial would have on the women, their families and this community". Castro was found competent to stand trial on July 3.

On July 12, a Cuyahoga County grand jury returned a true bill of indictment for the remainder of the period after February 2007. It brought the total to 977 counts: 512 counts of kidnapping, 446 of rape, seven of gross sexual imposition, six of felonious assault, three of child endangerment, two of aggravated murder, and one of possession of criminal tools. On July 17, Castro pleaded not guilty to the expanded indictment. He faced death by lethal injection if convicted on all of the charges.

Castro pleaded guilty on July 26 to 937 of the 977 charges against him, including charges of kidnapping, rape, and aggravated murder, as part of a plea bargain which called for consecutive sentences of life in prison plus 1,000 years, all without parole. Under the plea deal, Castro forfeited his right to appeal, and could not profit in any way due to his crimes. He also forfeited his assets, including his Seymour Avenue house, which prosecutors said would be demolished. Castro was told by Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Judge Michael Russo, "You will not be getting out. Is that clear?" to which Castro responded, "I do understand that, your honor." Castro also made comments about his "addiction to pornography" and "sexual problem", but was cut off by Judge Russo, who said such issues could be discussed at the August 1 sentencing hearing. A law firm representing Berry, DeJesus, and Knight released a statement that the three women were "relieved by today's plea. They are satisfied by this resolution to the case, and are looking forward to having these legal proceedings draw to a final close in the near future".

At the sentencing hearing on August 1, Castro was sentenced to consecutive life terms in prison, plus 1,000 years, all without any possibility of parole. He was also fined $100,000. The court forfeited all of his property and assets to the Cuyahoga County government. Before his sentencing, Castro addressed the court for nearly twenty minutes, in which he said he was "a good person" and "not a monster", but that he was addicted to sex and pornography and had "practiced the art of masturbation" from a young age. He claimed that he had never beaten or tortured the women, and insisted that "most" of the sex he had with them "was consensual". He shifted between apologizing and blaming the FBI for failing to catch him, as well as blaming his victims themselves for getting in a car with a stranger, along with insisting to the court that when he had sex with them he discovered they were not virgins. He would alternately shift back into apologetic comments, saying: "I hope they can find in their hearts to forgive me because we had a lot of harmony going on in that home".

The sentencing judge also heard from Knight and family members of Berry and DeJesus. Knight told Castro: "You took eleven years of my life away. I spent eleven years in hell; now your hell is just beginning. I will overcome all that has happened, but you will face hell for eternity. I will live on, you will die a little every day as you think of the eleven years of atrocities that you inflicted on us ... I can forgive you, but I will never forget."

Aftermath

Survivors
Knight, Berry, and DeJesus released a video statement on July 9, 2013, thanking the public for their support. An attorney for Berry and DeJesus said that the women "still have a strong desire for privacy" and did not wish to speak to the media about their ordeal. The Cleveland Courage Fund is a bank account set up to help the women in their transition to independent life which had collected approximately $1.05 million at the time of the video's release. Before Berry's disappearance, her grandfather had promised to give her a classic Chevrolet Monte Carlo, built in the year when she was born. He kept the car after her kidnapping in case she was still found alive. He still had it for her when she was released, although it was in need of restoration from having been unused. Several automotive shops offered to perform the restoration for free.

Knight discussed some of her ordeals in an interview with People magazine one year after her release, as well as her life leading up to her abduction. Since her rescue, she legally changed her name and began to get several tattoos as her way of coping with the healing process. She also revealed that her son was adopted by his foster parents while she was in captivity and that she wanted to see him, but she does not want to bring him into the ordeal which she has had to deal with, and planned to see him after he becomes an adult. She planned to open a restaurant and dreamed of getting married, which she did in 2016, and hopes to adopt children, as her years of abuse and torture have made it unlikely for her to ever be able to give birth again. She also planned to reunite with Berry and DeJesus in the future, but began focusing on getting her own life back on track.

Berry and DeJesus received honorary diplomas from John Marshall High School in 2015.
In an interview with WKYC, DeJesus says that she is currently volunteering for the Amber Alert committee, offering comfort to families of abducted children. She remains in touch with Berry and her family. In February 2017, Berry joined the staff of Fox affiliate WJW in Cleveland, where she hosts short recurring segments in which she reports missing person cases in order to help families reunite with missing family members. In April 2019, Berry reunited with Charles Ramsey, six years since her rescue, at an interview that was broadcast on WJW.

House demolition

As part of the plea bargain, the house where Castro had lived and held the women captive was demolished on August 7, 2013. Knight was present and handed out yellow balloons to spectators, which she said represented missing children. The balloons were released before DeJesus' aunt began the demolition with a swing of a crane. The house has been completely blurred out on the street view of Google Maps.

Castro's death
Castro was found hanging from a bed sheet in his detention cell at the Correctional Reception Center in Orient, Ohio, on the evening of September 3, 2013, one month into his life sentence. He was 53 at the time of his death. Prison staff performed CPR on him before he was taken to the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus, where he was pronounced dead shortly after. The following day, Franklin County coroner Jan Gorniak announced that a preliminary autopsy had found the cause of Castro's death to be suicide by hanging. He was later cremated.

On October 10, 2013, the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction released a report which suggested that Castro may have died accidentally from auto-erotic asphyxiation rather than suicide. Gorniak rejected the possibility, standing by her ruling of suicide. The report also said that two prison guards had falsified logs documenting their observation of Castro hours before he was found dead. He was not on suicide watch at the time of his death but had been subjected to routine checks every thirty minutes due to his notoriety.

A consultant's report was released on December 3, and officially concluded that "all available evidence pointed to suicide, including a shrine-like arrangement of family pictures and a Bible in Castro's cell, an increasing tone of frustration in his prison journal and the reality of spending the rest of his life in prison while subject to constant harassment." The Ohio State Highway Patrol also reviewed the case and reached the same conclusion.

«Смертельная гонка 4: Вне анархии» () — американский научно-фантастический боевик 2018 года режиссёра Дона Майкла Пола. Это четвертый и последний фильм из серии ремейков «Смертельной гонки» и прямое продолжение фильма «Смертельная гонка» 2008 года. Фильм был выпущен на DVD и в цифровом формате 2 октября 2018 года.

Сюжет
Приватизированная охранная фирма управляет Sprawl, огромной тюрьмой, в которой содержится около 420 000 заключенных. Внутри популярное соревнование «Смертельная гонка» (соревнование последнего выжившего, в котором заключенные участвуют в гонках на модифицированных автомобилях, вооруженных тяжелым оружием) было объявлено незаконным новым надзирателем, нанятым владельцем тюрьмы, Weyland International. Ему было поручено уничтожить Франкенштейна, чемпиона тюрьмы и короля Смертельных гонок.

После победы над конкурентом в Смертельной гонке Франкенштейн прибывает на афтепати. Тюремная группа спецназа пытается вывести его. Они убивают нескольких заключенных в этом районе, но в конечном итоге их загоняет в угол и расправляется с верной армией заключенных Франкенштейна. Франкенштейн разговаривает с надзирателем через одну из их нательных камер, говоря, что он убьет каждого человека, которого надзиратель пошлет убить его. Начальник, исполнительный директор Weyland International, упрекает надзирателя за то, что ему не удалось убить Франкенштейна, и предупреждает его, что у него есть последний шанс.

Вертолет с новыми заключенными пролетает над Муравейником, и охранник объясняет правила этой земли. Каждому из них дается свиток серебряных монет, чтобы помочь пробраться в тюрьму. Сразу после приземления «копы», тюремная банда, которой руководит гонщик смерти Джонни Лоу, натыкаются на новых сокамерников и убивают большинство из них. Двое выживают, но отказываются отдавать свои монеты. Они побеждают всю банду, демонстрируя необычайно искусную технику, и расходятся.

Заключенного-мужчину, Коннора, подбирает группа женщин, которые видят его впечатляющий бой.Он говорит им, что ищет Балтимора Боба, имя, которое он подслушал во время полета на вертолете, который предположительно руководит Смертельными гонками. Они ведут его в бар, которым управляет Франкенштейн, где Джонни Лоу вот-вот убьют за то, что он не смог получить все монеты от новых сокамерников. Коннор побеждает еще двух приспешников Франкенштейна, и Франкенштейн лично противостоит ему. Хотя они не дерутся, Коннор не проявляет страха или уважения к Франкенштейну в их обмене. Бармен Джейн связывает Коннора с Балтиморским Бобом, который также был свидетелем его драки.

Балтимор Боб ведет Коннора по тюрьме, и они обсуждают смертельные гонки. Они посещают отборочный матч к Смертельной гонке в Яме Смерти, где гонщики на мотоциклах должны избегать препятствий и ловушек, чтобы выжить. Другая сокамерница, сражавшаяся с копами при приземлении, Джипси Роуз, побеждает в квалификационном матче. Той ночью Джейн снова видит Коннора и приводит его к себе домой. Они рассказывают о том, как попали в Sprawl. Она предполагает, что он хочет переспать с ней, но Коннор, к ее удивлению, отказывается.

На следующий день Коннор говорит Балтиморскому Бобу, что хочет участвовать в Смертельной гонке. Его квалификационный матч - это бег к башне, на которую он должен подняться, чтобы получить ключи от машины. Он пробивается к башне и получает ключи, но обнаруживает, что теперь ему предстоит столкнуться с Мясником, огромным мужчиной с кувалдой и серпом. Коннор жестоко побеждает его, и Франкенштейн велит своей наложнице Карли привести к нему Коннора. В душе Карли делает пас Коннору, от которого тот снова отказывается.Франкенштейн говорит ему, что если он выиграет Смертельную гонку, то станет королем Муравейника, и спрашивает, готов ли он к этой ответственности. После встречи Коннор снова идет к Джейн. На этот раз они, кажется, начинают отношения.

Коннор вместе с Балтиморским Бобом начинает строительство своего Death Racer. Женщина, поднявшая его после драки с копами, просит стать его вторым пилотом, на что он неохотно соглашается. Он снова проводит ночь перед Смертельной гонкой с Джейн, говоря ей, что до того, как он попал в тюрьму, ему не о чем было заботиться, и подразумевает, что теперь он заботится только о ней.

На следующее утро он видит, как вся тюрьма спускается к дому Джейн. Он выходит на улицу и сталкивается с Франкенштейном, который раскрывает всей тюрьме, что Коннор на самом деле сержант Коннор Гибсон, специальный оперативник, посланный внутрь, чтобы убить его. Он заявляет, что Коннору будет разрешено участвовать в Смертельной гонке, но многие возмущены этим предательством и желают ему смерти.

Когда Гонщики Смерти прибывают к стартовой линии, Франкенштейн сообщает, что его новым вторым пилотом будет пленная Джейн, которую он использует в качестве «страхового полиса» против Коннора. На протяжении всей Смертельной гонки участники выбывают один за другим, пока не остаются только Коннор, Франкенштейн, Джонни Лоу и Джипси Роуз. Коннора, наконец, перенаправляет Балтимор Боб. Он совершает почти невозможный прыжок на 250 футов через упавший мост и оказывается прямо позади Франкенштейна. Джонни Ло выбывает, а Джипси Роуз занимает третье место.

На последнем отрезке у Коннора заканчивается бензин. Франкенштейн оборачивается, и Джейн умоляет его не убивать Коннора. Франкенштейн подъезжает к Коннору и его второму пилоту; они стреляют в него ракетой безрезультатно. В последнюю секунду Джипси Роуз Ти-Боунс врезается в бок автомобиля Франкенштейна, тем самым предотвращая убийство Коннора. Коннор бросается на помощь Джейн и Джипси Роуз и стреляет во Франкенштейна, убивая его. Она говорит Коннору, что скоро их заберет вертолет; он понимает, что она тоже специальный агент. Коннор, разрывающийся между своей прошлой жизнью и новой с Джейн, решает остаться. Балтимор Боб говорит ему надеть маску, стать Франкенштейном и управлять Sprawl. Он берет пальто и маску Франкенштейна, побеждает в Смертельной гонке и, предположительно, остается.

Čehoslovačka Socijalistička Republika (ČSSR) je bila država u središnjoj Europi, koja je postojala od 1960. do 1990. godine. Zamijenila je dotadašnju Čehoslovačku Republiku, a nju je naslijedila Češka i Slovačka Federativna Republika (ČSFR) (1990.—1992.). Službeno je stvorena donošenjem novog ustava 11. srpnja 1960., iako je to zapravo bilo samo promjena imena ('socijalistička') u već ranije socijalističku državu.

Ustavnim odredbama koje su stupile na snagu 1. siječnja 1969. ČSSR je federalizirana - stvorene su Češka Socijalistička Republika (ČSR) i Slovačka Socijalistička Republika (SSR). Ustavnim zakonom federalnog parlamenta Čehoslovačke, koji je stupio na snagu 29. ožujka 1990. "O promjeni naziva Čehoslovačke Socijalističke Republike" ime je promijenjeno u kratkotrajno Čehoslovačka Federativna Republika (koji je ubrzo zamijenjen s Češka i Slovačka Federativna Republika, skraćeno: ČSFR).

Povijest

Povijesna pozadina
Nakon što je Crvena armija zauzela Čehoslovačku, u travnju 1945. godine, proglašena je Treća republika, a na vlast je došao Narodni front unutar kojeg je djelovalo šest stranaka. Na višestranačkim izborima 1946. godine, uvjerljivu pobjedu odnijeli su komunisti. Na izborima u svibnju 1947. godine, komunisti nisu osvojili većinu u Parlamentu, zbog čega su Sovjeti zahtijevali odstranjenje "buržoazije i reakcionarnih elemenata" iz vlade.

Veljače 1948. godine, komunisti su izvršili puč i preuzeli vlast u Čehoslovačkoj. Edvard Beneš, dotadašnji predsjednik, dao je ostavku. Nakon usvajanja novog ustava u svibnju 1948., Čehoslovačka je službeno postala Narodna republika, iako je zadržano staro ime "Čehosloavčka Republika", te stari grb i zastava. Dana 11. srpnja 1960. godine, bio je usvojen novi ustav, u kojem je ime zemlje promijenjeno u "Čehoslovačka Socijalistička Republika".

Socijalistička Republika

Postojanje Socijalističke republike najviše je obilježilo Praško proljeće 1968. godine i njegovo gušenje od strane Varšavskog pakta. U duhu politike Normalizacije, Čehoslovačka je postala federacija Češke i Slovačke Socijalističke Republike. Tijekom 1970-ih, primjećeno je jačanje opozicije, među kojom je jedan od istaknutijih predstavnika bio i Vaclav Havel. U procesu raspadanja istočnog bloka, komunisti su sišli s vlasti tijekom Baršunaste revolucije 1989. godine. Počekom 1990. godine, usvojeno je novo ime države – Češka i Slovačka Federalna Republika. Dana 1. siječnja 1993. godine, federacija je ukinuta, a Češka i Slovačka su postale nezavisne republike.

Politika

Na vlasti u Čehoslovačkoj je službeno bio Narodni front, unutar kojeg je najviše utjecaja imala Komunistička partija Čehoslovačke. Nakon razlaza Tito-Staljin 1948. godine, u duhu protutitoističke politike, iz stranke je isključeno oko 500.000 dotadašnjeg članstva. Neki utjecajniji komunisti su zatvoreni tijekom ovih čistki, pod optužbom da su titoisti, poput Rudolfa Slanskog, Vladimira Klementisa, Gustava Husaka i ostalih. Tajnik stranke od 1953. do 1968. bio je Antonjin Novotni, a nakon njega 1969. Gustav Husak, koji je postao i predsjednik Republike 1975. godine.

Gospodarstvo

Gospodarstvo Čehoslovačke u ovom razdoblju zasnivala se na planiranoj zapovjednoj ekonomiji, po uzoru na Sovjetski Savez. Prevladavala je teška prerađivačka industrija, metalurgija, proizvodnja kemikalija, hrane i tekstila. Poljoprivreda je zauzimala manji dio sektora, ali je stanovništvo uvijek bilo opskrbljeno dovoljnom količinom hrane. Godine 1986., 80 % Čehoslovačke trgovine išlo je zemljama socijalističkog bloka.

Gig Morton (born March 22, 1996) is a Canadian actor and podcast host. Beginning a professional career as a child actor at age nine, Morton is a six time Young Artist Award nominee, best known for his role as B-Dawg's boy, "Billy" in four installments of the Air Buddies film franchise, Air Buddies, Snow Buddies, Space Buddies, and Santa Buddies, as well as for his co-starring role as "Derby" on the Canadian television show Mr. Young.

Early life
Gig Morton was born March 22, 1996 in Comox, British Columbia. "Gig" is Morton's given name and, when asked about where the name originated during an interview with Celebuzz, Morton explained—"It's actually my real name that's on my birth certificate. It's a funny story: when my dad was little—my dad's name is Gary—his little brother couldn't say Gary, so he called him 'Gig' and that became his nickname. And everyone calls him Gig besides my Nana, my dad's mom."

Raised in Courtenay, British Columbia, Morton began acting at age seven when his sisters were doing community theatre. His mother and sisters convinced him to audition, and he ended up landing his first role in the Rainbow Youth Theatre's production of The Wizard of Oz. After discovering his love for musical theatre, Morton would go on to appear in numerous musical stage productions, including lead roles in the Vanier Senior Secondary's production of Adventures in the Forest, the Red Room Studio's production of Oliver! and the Courtenay Little Theatre's production of Peter Pan.

Career
Morton began his professional acting career in 2005 at age nine, appearing in a commercial for Save-On-Foods, and has since appeared in numerous commercials for Aviva Insurance, Kellogg's and Mattel among others. In 2006, Morton made his film debut, appearing as the boy (known in later films as "Billy") selected to adopt the golden retriever puppy, "B-Dawg" in the Disney family comedy, Air Buddies, and made his television debut the following year with a small guest-starring role on the detective series Psych.

In 2008, Morton reprised his role as "Billy" in the second installment of the Air Buddies franchise, Snow Buddies, and landed his first starring role in the black comedy short film The Escape of Conrad Lard-Bottom. Later that same year he starred in the holiday fantasy film, Christmas Town as "Mason McCann", a boy who, along with his mother, discovers a town where Santa Claus and his elves are working. These roles earned Morton a total of three Young Artist Award nominations the following year as "Best Young Actor in a DVD film" for his role as "Billy" in Snow Buddies, "Best Young Actor in a Short Film" for his role as "Conrad Lard-Bottom" in The Escape of Conrad Lard-Bottom and "Best Young Actor in a TV Movie" for his role as "Mason McCann" in Christmas Town.

In 2009, Morton appeared as "Tommy Shatterfield" in the pilot for the family television drama, Mistresses, and as "John" in the western television movie Angel and the Bad Man. That same year, he once again reprised his role as "Billy" in the third and fourth installments of the Air Buddies franchise, Space Buddies and Santa Buddies. Morton was once again recognized with two Young Artist Award nominations the following year as "Best Supporting Actor in a TV Movie" for his role as "John" in Angel and the Bad Man and as "Best Young Actor in a DVD Film" for his role as "Billy" in Santa Buddies.

In 2010, Morton guest-starred on the crime series Shattered as "Stephen Alvert", the son of a wealthy German immigrant who is being investigated for murder. His dramatic performance earned him his sixth Young Artist Award nomination the following year as "Best Young Guest-Starring Actor, age 14-17, in a TV Series". In 2011, Morton appeared in a co-starring role as "Carl", one of three travelers who share a taxi with a slacker who believes he is Jesus in the comedy short, Jesus, Chris. That same year, Morton landed a co-starring role on the teen situation comedy Mr. Young, playing "Derby", the naive, but loyal best friend to a 14-year-old boy genius, played by Brendan Meyer, who takes a job as a high school science teacher.

Morton hosts a video podcast called Gig and Erika are Kids These Days.

Personal life
Morton resides in Vancouver, British Columbia. He attended school on the set of Mr. Young alongside his fellow co-stars Brendan Meyer and Matreya Fedor. At age ten, after discovering his passion for musical theatre and dance, Morton began taking performance arts classes, studying acting, singing, guitar, hip-hop dancing, tap dancing and ballet. Morton's hobbies and activities include swimming, skateboarding, fencing, biking, soccer, basketball, trampoline, yo-yo tricks, video games, and robot building.

Lewis and Harris är den nordligaste och största av öarna i Hebriderna, Skottland.

Ön har en yta på 1994 kvadratkilometer. Ön har ett betydande fiske, och dess huvudort är Stornoway. Skotsk gaeliska har en stark ställning på ön. På 1930-talet bedömdes att av öns ungefär 32 000 innevånare runt 5 100 inte förstod engelska utan enbart talade gaeliska. Idag uppges omkring 60-70 % av öns befolkning vara gaelisktalande.

Den nordliga delen av ön heter Lewis och den sydliga Harris. Det är vanligt att man refererar till dessa två delar som om de var två olika öar. På engelska och gaeliska har denna ö inte något vardagligt namn.

Gränsen mellan Lewis och Harris går från spetsen av fjorden Loch Resort på västsidan till spetsen av fjorden Loch Seaforth på ostsidan. Gränsen går alltså inte där ön är som smalast, vid Tarbert på Harris. Harris består till stor del av bergslandskap medan Lewis natur är plattare. Den högsta punkten på ön är Clisham som når 799 meter över havet.

Administrativt tillhör Lewis and Harris de Yttre Hebriderna. Tidigare var Harris en del av Inverness-shire medan Lewis var en del av Ross and Cromarty.

A Consciência de um Liberal (The Conscience of a Liberal) é um livro do economista e Prémio Nobel da Economia Paul Krugman publicado em 2007 e que atingiu a posição 24 da lista dos livros de não ficção mais vendidos do New York Times em Novembro desse ano.

No livro, Krugman expõe a análise dos últimos 80 anos da história dos EUA no âmbito da desigualdade económica. Um tema central é a emergência, de novo a partir da década iniciada em 1970, da desigualdade tanto económica como política. Krugman analisa as causas subjacentes a essa evolução e propõe um "novo New Deal" para os EUA.

Em 2001 o senador norte-americano Paul Wellstone publicou um livro com o mesmo título. O título do livro de Wellstone era uma resposta ao livro de Barry Goldwater de 1960 intitulado A Consciência de um Conservador (The Conscience of a Conservative).

Resumo
O livro é uma história dos desníveis entre rendimento e riqueza nos EUA no século XX. O livro documenta que o fosso entre ricos e pobres diminuiu imenso em meados do século — refere-se a isto como a "Grande Compressão" — e depois alargou-se novamente, com início na década de 1980, para níveis ainda mais elevados do que os da década de 1920. A maioria dos economistas — incluindo o próprio Krugman — têm considerado a divergência de finais do século XX como resultante em grande medida de mudanças nas tecnologias e no comércio. Mas agora Krugman descreve, em especial nos Capítulos 1, 3 e 4, que as políticas do governo, particularmente o estabelecimento, e os ataques posteriormente, da rede de segurança social ou estado social, desempenharam um papel muito mais importante tanto na redução daquele fosso desde a década de 1930 até aos anos 1970, como no seu alargamento desde a década de 1980 até ao presente.

Ele fala sobre a história do conservadorismo norte-americano, tanto do conservadorismo pré-New Deal que dominou o período entre a Guerra Civil norte-americana e a Grande Depressão (período que designa por Long Gilded Age/ Longa Era Dourada), no capítulo 2, como do actual "movimento conservador" (movement conservatism), no capítulo 6. Ele argumenta, em especial nos Capítulos 5, 6 e 9, que a exploração subtil pelo movimento conservador dos ressentimentos raciais e culturais através da retórica do pequeno-governo (ver Dog-whistle politics, ou política de apito para cães) e de receios de segurança nacional foram chave na capacidade do movimento para ganhar eleições nacionais, mesmo que as suas políticas de concentração da riqueza no topo social fossem profundamente impopulares. Ele descreve amplamente, no Capítulo 6, o papel de William F. Buckley Jr., de Irving Kristol e de Ronald Reagan na construção do movimento e, nos Capítulos 7 e 8, acerca do papel de "instituições (particularmente sindicatos) e normas particularmente a política empresarial", face à política governamental, no aumento ou redução da desigualdade económica. Ele critica a administração de George W. Bush pelas políticas que iam na altura alargando o fosso entre ricos e pobres.

Não obstante, Krugman manifesta otimismo, no Capítulo 10, de que as tendências demográficas, particularmente na raça e na cultura, e no que ele via como um exagero conservador durante os anos Bush, estarem a criar um novo ambiente político de centro-esquerda e a lentamente minar o movimento conservador. Ele referencia o livro A Maioria Democrata que Emerge (The Emerging Democratic Majority) de John Judis e Ruy Teixeira]. Krugman defende, nos Capítulos 11 e 12, que os Democratas propusessem um "novo New Deal", que inclua a colocação de maior ênfase em programas sociais e de apoio médico — em especial cuidados de saúde universais — e menor na defesa nacional.

Finalmente, no capítulo 13, discorre sobre o que significa ser um "liberal", sobre a ascensão de novas organizações progressistas — que, ao contrário dos grupos de reflexão (think tanks), das publicações e doutras organizações conservadores, são de facto mais descentralizados e com pensamento independente — e como muito mais pessoas parecem apoiar políticas "liberais" do que as que estão dispostas a usar esse termo para se auto-descrever.

Significado do termo "Liberal" nos EUA

De referir que o termo "liberalismo" tem um significado nos EUA diferente de na Europa. De acordo com a Encyclopedia Britannica, "Nos EUA, o liberalismo é associado às políticas de estado social do programa New Deal do governo do presidente democrata Franklin D. Roosevelt, enquanto que na Europa é usualmente associado ao compromisso com a redução da dimensão do estado e a políticas económicas de laissez-faire." Consequentemente, nos EUA, as ideias de individualismo e de políticas económicas de laissez-faire anteriormente associadas ao liberalismo clássico tornaram-se a base da emergente escola de pensamento  libertária.

Revisões e críticas
O livro recebeu aplausos em revisões misturados com críticas de partidarismo, neste caso como a da New York Review of Books.

The Conscience of a Liberal é também o título do blogue de Krugman sobre economia e política disponibilizado no sítio do New York Times desde 2005.

Le journal en question (ironiquement intitulé " Amour") publie des photos du couple comme s'il s'agissait d'une "idylle secrète". Furieux du scandale créé, le peintre se rend au journal et frappe le rédacteur, ce qui entraine un autre article sur cette affaire. Aoe décide de poursuivre le journal en justice mais la chanteuse préfère éviter le procès. Un avocat, Hiruta propose ses services au peintre. Le lendemain, Aoe se rend chez l'avocat et fait la connaissance de sa jeune fille, Masako, atteinte de tuberculose. Il se prend de sympathie pour elle et accepte Hiruta pour le représenter. Mais l'avocat Hiruta, se laisse "acheter " par l'éditeur du journal pour payer les frais de maladie de sa fille Masako en acceptant un chèque. L'éditeur lui demande de faire traîner l'affaire en l'absence de plainte conjointe du peintre et de la chanteuse. Hiruta se rend chez son client pour lui dire que sans Miyako, le procès est compliqué. Aoe a le plaisir de lui présenter la chanteuse revenue sur sa décision et qui se joint à la plainte. Le procès a lieu et l'éditeur est furieux, menaçant Hiruta de faire le nécessaire pour faire échouer la plainte. Le soir de Noël, en rentrant chez lui, Hiruta trouve Aoe et Miyako Saijo. Celle-ci chante un chant de Noël pour la jeune fille malade. L'avocat, honteux, quitte le domicile, suivi du peintre. Hiruta prend conscience de sa vénalité, en buvant toute la nuit. Le procès a lieu. L'avocat des plaidants n'est pas à la hauteur, ne présentant aucun témoin et n'ayant aucune question. Les amis du peintre le sifflent et ses confrères souhaitent sa révocation du barreau. À l'inverse, l'avocat du journal a bien préparé le dossier. Masako est triste car elle comprend que son père n'est pas à la hauteur. Elle est en larmes mais Aoe a compris que son avocat ne cherche pas à défendre ses intérêts. Mais le peintre dit à la jeune fille et sa mère qu'Hiruta agit par faiblesse mais pas par méchanceté. Il dit à Masako qu'il gagnera son procès. Le elndemain, au tribunal, l'avocat de l'accusation n'agit toujours pas alors qu'il est interpellé par celui de l'éditeur. Le soir, Hiruta se rend chez son client pour annoncer une triste nouvelle. Masako est décédée après avoir crié « Aoe a gagné son procès ». Le jour du verdict, Aoe prend la parole déclarant qu'il n'a pas menti. Puis l'avocat de la défense parle, mettant en cause le travail de son confrère. Hiruta se décide à parler en demandant d'être entendu comme témoin. La cour accepte. Il montre alors le chèque de l'éditeur qui a voulu l'acheter. Cette preuve témoigne de sa malhonnêteté mai aussi de la culpabilité du journal. Le verdict sera en faveur du peintre et de la chanteuse.

Em matemática, uma curvatura é qualquer um de uma série de conceitos vagamente relacionadas em diferentes áreas da geometria. Intuitivamente, curvatura é a quantidade na qual um objeto geométrico se desvia do plano, ou reto no caso de uma linha, mas esta é definida de diferentes formas, dependendo do contexto. Há uma diferença fundamental entre a curvatura extrínseca, que é definida para objetos incorporados em outro espaço (geralmente um espaço euclidiano) de um modo que se relaciona com o raio de curvatura de círculos que tocam o objeto, e curvatura intrínseca, que é definida em cada ponto de uma variedade de Riemann. Este artigo lida principalmente com o primeiro conceito.

O exemplo clássico de curvatura extrínseca é a de um círculo, que em todos os lugares tem curvatura igual ao inverso do seu raio. Círculos menores dobram-se mais acentuadamente, e, portanto, têm maior curvatura. A curvatura de uma curva suave é definida como a curvatura do seu círculo osculador em cada ponto.

Mais vulgarmente isto é uma quantidade escalar, mas pode-se também definir um vetor de curvatura que leva em conta a direção da dobra, bem como a sua nitidez. A curvatura de objetos mais complexos (tais como superfícies ou até mesmo curvas n-dimensionais de espaços) é descrita por mais objetos complexos de álgebra linear, tais como o tensor de curvatura geral de Riemann.

História
A curvatura de uma curva diferenciável foi originalmente definida através de círculos osculantes . Nesse cenário, Augustin-Louis Cauchy mostrou que o centro da curvatura é o ponto de interseção de duas linhas normais infinitamente próximas da curva.

Geometria diferencial

Seja C o gráfico de uma função vetorial, no espaço bi ou tridimensional, parametrizada em função do comprimento de arco. A ideia de curvatura está ligada à variação do vetor tangente com respeito ao comprimento de arco s. O vetor tangente T varia somente em direção, visto que tem comprimento constante de norma unitária. Se C for uma reta, a direção de T permanece constante e dizemos então que tem curvatura nula. Note também que um círculo terá curvatura constante, já que o raio da curvatura do círculo é constante.

Se C for uma curva lisa no espaço bi ou tridimensional parametrizada pelo comprimento do arco, então a curvatura de C, é uma função escalar denotada por (onde κ é a letra grega kappa) e é definida por:

Observe que é uma função real de s, uma vez que é o comprimento de  que mede a curvatura.

Temos que  é paralelo ao vetor normal , ou seja

, onde

Fórmulas Frenet – Serret para curvas planas
A expressão da curvatura Em termos de parametrização no comprimento do arco, é essencialmente a primeira fórmula de Frenet – Serret:

onde os primos se referem às derivadas em relação ao comprimento do arco , e  é o vetor unitário normal na direção de  .

Como as curvas planares têm torção zero, a segunda fórmula de Frenet-Serret fornece a relação

Para uma parametrização geral por um parâmetro , é necessário expressões envolvendo derivadas em relação a  . Como estes são obtidos pela multiplicação por  dos derivados em relação a , é necessário, para qualquer parametrização adequada

A curvatura em termos de um parâmetro qualquer t
Seja  uma função vetorial lisa no espaço bi ou tridimensional. A curvatura pode ser determinada por:

A representação de limite para a curvatura de uma curva no seu ponto  é , onde  é o comprimento da curva entre o ponto  e um ponto , também na curva, de modo que a distância entre P e Q tenda a 0.  é o ângulo de giro da tangente da curva, entre o ponto P e Q.

Interpretação da curva no espaço bidimensional:

A curvatura no espaço bidimensional pode ser interpretada como a magnitude da taxa de variação do ângulo (medido no sentido anti-horário a partir do eixo x positivo até o vetor tangente unitário) com relação à posição s. Quanto maior for a curvatura, mais rápido varia o ângulo em relação a s. No caso de uma reta, o ângulo é constante e, consequentemente, a curvatura é nula.

Curvas de espaço

Como no caso de curvas em duas dimensões, a curvatura de uma curva espacial regular  em três dimensões (e superior) é a magnitude da aceleração de uma partícula que se move com a velocidade unitária ao longo de uma curva. Assim, se  é a parametrização de  comprimento do arco, o vetor tangencial unitário  é dado por

e a curvatura é a magnitude da aceleração:

A direção da aceleração é o vetor normal de unidade , definido por

O plano que contém os dois vetores  e  é o plano osculador da curva em  . A curvatura tem a seguinte interpretação geométrica. Existe um círculo no plano osculador tangente a  cuja série de Taylor para segunda ordem no ponto de contato concorda com a de  . Este é o círculo de curvatura para a curva. O raio do círculo  é chamado raio de curvatura e a curvatura é recíproca do raio de curvatura:

A tangente, a curvatura e o vetor normal juntos descrevem o comportamento de segunda ordem de uma curva perto de um ponto. Em três dimensões, o comportamento de terceira ordem de uma curva é descrito por uma noção relacionada de torção, que mede a extensão em que uma curva tende a se mover em um caminho helicoidal no espaço. A torção e a curvatura são relacionadas pelo Triedro de Frenet (em três dimensões) e sua generalização (em dimensões mais altas).

Raio de Curvatura
Em geral, se uma curva C no espaço bidimensional tem curvatura não nula no ponto P, então o círculo de raio  que tangencia a curva C no ponto P e centro no lado côncavo da curva em P é chamado de círculo de curvatura ou círculo osculador em P. Nesse ponto P, além de o círculo e a curva se tangenciarem, ambos têm a mesma curvatura. O círculo de curvatura em P é o círculo que melhor aproxima a curva C na vizinhança de P.

Curvatura na física

A Relatividade geral prevê que um corpo de grande massa pode alterar a geometria do espaço-tempo, tornando-o curvo. Essa curvatura do espaço-tempo quadridimensional altera a trajetória dos corpos que passem em torno de si, como a deflexão da luz, que tem seus feixes arqueados para dentro pelo campo gravítico do corpo. Nesse espaço-tempo a geodésica entre dois observadores não é a reta.

My Teenage Daughter, later Teenage Bad Girl, is a 1956 British drama film directed by Herbert Wilcox and starring Anna Neagle, Sylvia Syms and Norman Wooland. The screenplay concerns a mother who tries to deal with her teenage daughter's descent into delinquency. It was intended as a British response to Rebel Without a Cause. It was the last commercially successful film made by Wilcox.

Plot
Valerie Carr is a widowed magazine editor who lives in London and has two teenage daughters, Jan and Poppet. Jan falls for the wealthy Tony Ward Black, who takes her dancing and for drives in his Bentley. Valeria gets a job editing a magazine for teenagers.

 Daphne Cave – Deirdre
 Launce Maraschal – Senator

Production
Neagle and Wilcox commissioned playwright Felicity Douglas to write a script about the generation gap. It was known during filming as I Have a Teenaged Daughter.

Janette Scott and Shirley Eaton were announced as possible's to play the daughter of Anna Neagle. Wilcox ended up casting Sylvia Syms after seeing her in a television play, The Romantic Young Lady. She recalled, "I was crashingly ignorant and very young, and Anna and Herbert cosseted me and spoiled me. They made my part bigger as I went along... Their generosity was incredible. They didn't play me much but it was more than I was paid for my subsequent films [under a long-term contract with Associated British]."

Julia Lockwood, who plays Anna Neagle's youngest daughter, was the daughter of Margaret Lockwood.

Reception
Variety called it "an unabashed sentimental drama, obviously conceived as unsophisticated entertainment... should prove a stout b.o. proposition where the name value of Anna Neagle has potent marquee appeal."

Filmink said the film "was described as Britain's answer to Rebel Without a Cause, and in a way that's true, in that it's about a middle-class teen going off the rails, although it pays far more attention to the adult characters than the Nick Ray-James Dean classic.

Syms said when the film came out "I was, as they say, an overnight sensation" but she "had saddled myself with a seven year contract" with Associated British.

Saber Hossain Chowdhury (born 10 September 1961) is a politician from Bangladesh and the incumbent member of Parliament in Bangladesh from the Dhaka-9 constituency. He was the president of Inter-Parliamentary Union from 2014 to 2017. He is the former president of Bangladesh Cricket Board. He received the Order of Friendship, Russia's highest state decoration.

Education and early career
Chowdhury's father is late Hedayat Hossain Chowdhury, the founder of Karnaphuli Group, a top conglomerate in Bangladesh. He was a graduate of School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London and holds a double honors degree in economics and politics. He has also received a diploma in law from University of Westminster, United Kingdom. Having begun his career in the private sector as an entrepreneur, Chowdhury embraced full-time politics in 1996.

Political career
Chowdhury is the incumbent member of Jatiya Sangsad from Dhaka-9. He served as Deputy Minister of Ministry of Ports & Shipping and, later, as Deputy Minister for Local Government, Rural Development & Cooperatives (1999-2001). He was the youngest Member of the Cabinet during this period. At Political Party Level Chowdhury was appointed in October 2001 as Political Secretary to President of Bangladesh Awami League, Sheikh Hasina, who was then the Leader of the Opposition in Parliament. Shortly thereafter, he was elected Organizing Secretary (1) of the Party with responsibility for Dhaka Division.

Inter Parliamentary Union
Chowdhury was the 28th President of Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU). He was elected to the position on 16 October 2014 for a term of 3 years and is the first Bangladeshi to hold this post. IPU is the world organization of parliaments and is the focal point for worldwide parliamentary dialogue. IPU supports the efforts of and works in close cooperation with United Nations whose objectives its shares. It enjoys Permanent Observer status at the UN. As IPU President Chowdhury is also a member of the high-level group - Every Woman Every Child - a global movement to champion the health of women, children and adolescents led by former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
