Der Glungezer ist ein Berg in den Tuxer Alpen in Tirol, südöstlich von Innsbruck.

Lage und Landschaft
Der Gipfel des Glungezer hat eine Höhe von 2677 Meter über dem Meeresspiegel. Damit überragt er den benachbarten und viel bekannteren Patscherkofel um über 400 Meter. Von Innsbruck aus ist allerdings nur die Sonnenspitze (), ein ca. 500 m nordwestlich vorgelagerter Nebengipfel zu sehen.

Geologie
Der Gipfel des Glungezers wird aus niedriggradig metamorphen Gesteinen, so genannten Quarzphylliten gebildet. Nördlich des Gipfels liegen höhergradig metamorphe Gesteine, zum größten Teil Gneise des Patscherkofel-Glungezerkristallins.

Geschichte

Namensherkunft
Der Name "Glungezer" (Schreibweise historisch auch Glunggezer) dürfte auf eine lautmalerische Nachahmung von glucksendem Wasser zurückgehen. In einer Mulde oberhalb der Tulfeinalm, aber auch an anderen Stellen, fließt das Wasser teilweise unsichtbar glucksend zwischen und unter den Felsblöcken dahin.

Flugunfall

Am 29. Februar 1964 kollidierte eine Bristol Britannia 312 der British Eagle International Airlines in 2600 Metern Seehöhe mit der Ostflanke des Glungezer. Die Maschine befand sich im Landeanflug auf Innsbruck. Sie flog nach Sichtflugregeln. Es gelang den Piloten aber nicht, die Wolken zu durchbrechen. Alle 75 Passagiere und acht Besatzungsmitglieder kamen dabei ums Leben. Das in den Berg geflogene Flugzeug löste eine Lawine aus, die die meisten Trümmerteile 400 m tiefer riss. Selbst die Wirtsleute der nur einige hundert Meter von der Absturzstelle entfernten Glungezerhütte bekamen auf Grund des tobenden Sturms den Absturz nicht mit.

Erschließung
Unweit des Gipfels liegt zwischen Glungezergipfel und Sonnenspitze auf 2610 Metern Höhe die Glungezerhütte des Österreichischen Alpenvereins, Sektion Hall in Tirol. Die Hütte ist vor allem im Winter ein beliebtes Ziel von Skitourengehern. Auf der markierten Skiroute ist der Glungezer ohne große Schwierigkeiten und Gefahr durch Lawinen zu ersteigen. Im Sommer gewinnt die Glungezerhütte zunehmende Beliebtheit als Stützpunkt mehrerer Weitwanderwege (Via Alpina, Adlerweg, Traumpfad München-Venedig, Glungezer&Geier-Weg, Olympiaweg und Zirbenweg). Auch ein Klettersteig (Schwierigkeit C) führt zur Hütte bzw. zum Gipfel der Sonnenspitze. In der Gipfelregion befindet sich eine großteils unterirdische Anlage zur militärischen Luftraumüberwachung.

Die Nordseite des Glungezers wird durch die Glungezerbahn erschlossen. Die Talstation liegt in Tulfes, die höchste Bergstation in unmittelbarer Nähe des 2311 Meter hohen Schartenkogels. Im Winter ist dies ein beliebtes Familienskigebiet und Skitourengebiet mit nicht zu anspruchsvollen Pisten und Skirouten.

Max Zorin is een personage in de James Bond-film A View to a Kill, gespeeld door Christopher Walken.

Zorin is geboren bij een Duits experiment in de Tweede Wereldoorlog. (Het is dan ook vanzelfsprekend dat Zorin blond is.)

Bij dit experiment probeerden de Duitsers 'superkinderen' te ontwikkelen. De meeste kinderen mislukten, een paar kinderen overleefden het experiment.

Toen Duitsland in twee helften werd verdeeld, zat Zorin in Oost-Duitsland. Hij werd opgeleid door de Russen als KGB-agent. Hij vertrok daarna naar Frankrijk waar hij het microchipbedrijf Zorin Industries begon. Omdat tachtig procent van de microchipmarkt zich in Silicon Valley bevindt, probeert hij daar een aardbeving te veroorzaken, waardoor Silicon Valley onder water zal lopen Zo verkrijgt hij een monopolie op deze markt. Dit mislukt door het optreden van geheim agent James Bond. Aan het einde van de film hebben Zorin en Bond een confrontatie op de Golden Gate Bridge, waarbij Zorin in het water valt en de val niet overleeft.

Gamma Cephei (γ Cep, Errai) – gwiazda w gwiazdozbiorze Cefeusza, odległa o około 44 lata świetlne od Słońca.

Nazwa
Tradycyjna nazwa własna gwiazdy, Errai, wywodzi się z arabskiego  , co oznacza "pasterz". Międzynarodowa Unia Astronomiczna w 2015 roku formalnie zatwierdziła użycie nazwy Errai dla określenia tej gwiazdy.

Charakterystyka obserwacyjna

Jest to druga co do jasności gwiazda konstelacji, jej obserwowana wielkość gwiazdowa to 3,22; zmienia się ona w zakresie od 3,18 do 3,24.

Errai można znaleźć na niebie, wyobrażając sobie linię łączącą gwiazdę Caph na końcu "litery W", jaką tworzą gwiazdy Kasjopei i Polaris, współczesną Gwiazdę Polarną. Gamma Cephei jest nieco powyżej środka tej linii, w stronę Polaris.

Około roku 4000 n.e., z uwagi na precesję osi ziemskiej, Errai znajdzie się o 3° od północnego bieguna niebieskiego i zajmie na sferze niebieskiej miejsce Gwiazdy Polarnej.

Charakterystyka fizyczna
Jest to gwiazda podwójna. W skład układu wchodzi widoczna Gamma Cephei A i oddalony o 0,9 sekundy kątowej (pomiar z 2006 r.) składnik Gamma Cephei B o wielkości 7,3. Obie gwiazdy krążą wokół siebie z okresem 57–66 lat w średniej odległości około 19 au; ze względu na mimośród orbity odległość dzieląca gwiazdy zmienia się od 12 do 26 au.

Gamma Cephei A to pomarańczowy olbrzym (lub podolbrzym) należący do typu widmowego K1. Ma on temperaturę 4920 K i jasność 10,6 razy większą niż jasność Słońca. Jej promień, znany dzięki pomiarowi średnicy kątowej, jest 4,9 razy większy niż promień Słońca, a masa jest oceniana na 1,6 razy większą od masy Słońca.

Gamma Cephei B jest mało masywną gwiazdą, czerwonym karłem o masie 0,3–0,4 masy Słońca. Jego temperatura to 3500 K, przypuszcza się, że reprezentuje typ widmowy M.

Układ planetarny
W 1988 roku opublikowano wyniki analiz zmian prędkości radialnej gwiazdy, które zostały zinterpretowane jako możliwy efekt wywołany przez przyciąganie masywnej planety. Rok później o takim samym wyniku doniósł inny zespół badaczy. Ze względu na dużą niepewność pomiaru, odkrycie doczekało się weryfikacji dopiero w 2002 roku.

Planeta, którą odkryto w tym układzie, okrąża składnik A. Została ona oznaczona Gamma Cephei b i jest gazowym olbrzymem o masie 1,85 masy Jowisza, okrążającym składnik A w odległości dwukrotnie większej niż odległość Ziemi od Słońca, o okresie obiegu 2,5 roku.

Nazwa własna planety została wyłoniona w 2015 roku w publicznym konkursie. Tadmor to dawna semicka i współczesna arabska nazwa starożytnego miasta Palmyra, wpisanego na listę światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO. Zwycięską nazwę zaproponowali członkowie Syryjskiego Stowarzyszenia Astronomicznego (Syria).

Lewis Albanese (April 27, 1946 – December 1, 1966), born Luigi Albanese, was an Italian-born United States Army Private First Class who posthumously received the Medal of Honor for his actions during the Vietnam War.

Born in Italy, Albanese immigrated to the United States and joined the Army in 1965. During an exercise in the Republic of Vietnam, Albanese's platoon was under heavy fire from North Vietnamese positions. Albanese then bayonet charged his way to a enclosed sniper position, where he killed 8 snipers before he was mortally wounded.

Biography
Louie Albanese (in Italian Luigi) was born in Cornedo Vicentino - Vicenza, Italy and graduated from Franklin High School in Seattle, Washington. He briefly worked for Boeing before joining the Army on 26 October 1965. He received basic training with B Co 1st Bn 11th Inf at Fort Carson, Colorado and was sent to Vietnam in August 1966 as part of the 7th Cavalry attached to the 1st Cavalry Division.

In December 1966, while on patrol in the Republic of Vietnam with Company B of the 5th Battalion, his unit received heavy fire from concealed enemy positions. During an attempted encirclement of the platoon by the Vietnamese forces, Albanese fixed a bayonet to his weapon and charged the enemy positions. Upon arriving and momentarily silencing the enemy fire, Albanese discovered that the ditch he had charged was a well-entrenched position. He continued 100 metres through the position, killing at least eight enemy snipers despite running out of ammunition, being forced to fight hand to hand, and being mortally wounded.

His actions enabled his unit to advance further, and he posthumously received the Medal of Honor, which was presented to his family at the Pentagon by Secretary of the Army Stanley Rogers Resor on February 16, 1968. He is buried in Evergreen-Washelli Memorial Park and Funeral Home in Seattle, Washington. His name is found on Panel 12E, Row 131 of the Vietnam War Memorial.

In 2014 in his native country town Cornedo Vicentino in Italy named a street in his honor.

Medal of Honor citation
Citation:
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life and beyond the call of duty. Pfc. Albanese's platoon, while advancing through densely covered terrain to establish a blocking position, received intense automatic weapons fire from close range. As other members maneuvered to assault the enemy position, Pfc. Albanese was ordered to provide security for the left flank of the platoon. Suddenly, the left flank received fire from enemy located in a well-concealed ditch. Realizing the imminent danger to his comrades from this fire, Pfc. Albanese fixed his bayonet and moved aggressively into the ditch. His action silenced the sniper fire, enabling the platoon to resume movement toward the main enemy position. As the platoon continued to advance, the sound of heavy firing emanated from the left flank from a pitched battle that ensued in the ditch which Pfc. Albanese had entered. The ditch was actually a well-organized complex of enemy defenses designed to bring devastating flanking fire on the forces attacking the main position. Pfc. Albanese, disregarding the danger to himself, advanced 100 meters along the trench and killed 6 of the snipers, who were armed with automatic weapons. Having exhausted his ammunition, Pfc. Albanese was mortally wounded when he engaged and killed 2 more enemy soldiers in fierce hand-to-hand combat. His unparalleled actions saved the lives of many members of his platoon who otherwise would have fallen to the sniper fire from the ditch, and enabled his platoon to successfully advance against an enemy force of overwhelming numerical superiority. Pfc. Albanese's extraordinary heroism and supreme dedication to his comrades were commensurate with the finest traditions of the military service and remain a tribute to himself, his unit, and the U.S. Army.

Pretzier ist eine Ortschaft und ein Ortsteil der Hansestadt Salzwedel im Altmarkkreis Salzwedel in Sachsen-Anhalt.

Geografie
Das Straßendorf Pretzier liegt etwa sieben Kilometer östlich vom Salzwedeler Stadtzentrum im Norden der Altmark. Der etwa 44 Meter hohe Scherselberg liegt westlich des Dorfes. Der Molkereigraben Prezier im Süden des Ortes strömt in den Ried, der in die Jeetze fließt.

Ortschaftsgliederung
Zur Ortschaft Pretzier gehören die Ortsteile Pretzier und Königstedt.

Geschichte
Man nimmt an, dass das heutige Pretzier als slawische Siedlung vor ungefähr 1100 Jahren entstand. An der Stelle des heutigen Pretziers entstand wohl erst im 12. oder 13. Jahrhundert eine Siedlung. Diese wurde von Deutschen gegründet und hieß daher Deutsch-Pretzier.

Wilhelm Zahn berichtete im Jahre 1909: "Auf der Feldmark 1,2 Kilometer südlich vom Dorf, an der Grenze der Feldmark von Stappenbeck, liegen die Dorfstellen oder Dorfstücke, 19 schmale parallele Ackerstreifen. Hier hat ein Dorf gelegen. Es ist aber ungewiß, ob es Wendisch Pretzier gewesen ist, denn 8 Kilometer von Deutsch Pretzier liegt im Hannöverschen das Dorf Prezier, das auch als Wendisch Prezier bezeichnet wird."

Im Jahre 1316 ist Pretzier zum ersten Mal urkundlich erwähnt worden als villa Prytszyr. Der Salzwedeler Burgmann Ritter Henning Crucemann überließ dem Heilig-Geist-Kloster zu Salzwedel im Perver einen Hof in Pretzier. 1321 wird ein Johanni Priscir in Salzwedel erwähnt.

1328 verkauften die von Garthow Hebungen in priscer an das Kloster Diesdorf. 1334 war Arnold von Mechowen Schulze in pryscyr. 1337 erwarb die Marienkirche Salzwedel Hebungen in prisser, die 1344, 1409, 1411, 1446 und 1503 bestätigt wurden. 1359 überließ das Kloster Dambeck seine Hebungen an prisser dem Kloster Diesdorf. Im Landbuch der Mark Brandenburg von 1375 wurde Prischier mit 32 Hufen Landes aufgeführt. Weitere Nennungen sind 1541 Prezir, 1608 Teütsche Pritzier, 1687 Prietzier, 1804 Deutsch Pretzier, 1873 Deutschpretzier, 1898 Pretzier (= Deutsch Pretzier).

Bei der Bodenreform wurden 1945 ermittelt: 96 Besitzungen mit unter 100 Hektar Fläche haben zusammen 718 Hektar. Die Kirche besaß hat 51 Hektar. Erst im Jahre 1959 entstand die erste Landwirtschaftliche Produktionsgenossenschaft vom Typ I, die LPG "Altmark".

Im Jahre 2016 feierte Pretzier seine erstmalige urkundliche Erwähnung vor 700 Jahren. Die Hobby-Historiker Manfred Wernecke und Uwe Gade aus Pretzier hatten dazu eine Ortschronik veröffentlicht.

Archäologie
Die Gegend war bereits in der mittleren Bronzezeit besiedelt. Im Johann-Friedrich-Danneil-Museum Salzwedel wird eine bronzene Beinberge aus Pretzier gezeigt.

Herkunft des Ortsnamens
Heinrich Sültmann leitet den Ortsnamen Pretzier aus den Silben pre für am und ziry für Weideland als Ort am Weideland ab.

Eingemeindungen
Ursprünglich gehörte das Dorf zum Salzwedelischen Kreis. Ab 1816 gehörte es und damit die spätere Gemeinde Pretzier zum Kreis Salzwedel. Am 25. Juli 1952 kam Pretzier zum Kreis Salzwedel im Bezirk Magdeburg. Am 1. Januar 1992 wurde die Gemeinde Königstedt aus dem gleichen Kreis nach Pretzier eingemeindet. Die Gemeinde Pretzier kam am 1. Juli 1994 zum Altmarkkreis Salzwedel. Somit bildete Pretzier mit dem Ortsteil Königstedt bis Ende 2009 eine eigenständige Gemeinde und war Mitglied der Verwaltungsgemeinschaft Salzwedel-Land.

Durch einen Gebietsänderungsvertrag beschloss der Gemeinderat der Gemeinde Pretzier am 26. Januar 2009, dass die Gemeinde Pretzier in die Hansestadt Salzwedel eingemeindet wird. Dieser Vertrag wurde vom Landkreis als unterer Kommunalaufsichtsbehörde genehmigt und trat am 1. Januar 2010 in Kraft.

Nach Eingemeindung der bisher selbstständigen Gemeinde Pretzier werden Königstedt und Pretzier Ortsteile der Hansestadt Salzwedel. Für die eingemeindete Gemeinde wurde die Ortschaftsverfassung nach den §§ 86 ff. Gemeindeordnung Sachsen-Anhalt eingeführt. Die eingemeindete Gemeinde Pretzier und künftigen Ortsteile Königstedt und Pretzier wurden zur Ortschaft der aufnehmenden Hansestadt Salzwedel. In der eingemeindeten Gemeinde und nunmehrigen Ortschaft Pretzier wurde ein Ortschaftsrat mit sieben Mitgliedern einschließlich Ortsbürgermeister gebildet.

Religion
Die evangelische Kirchengemeinde Pretzier gehörte früher zur Pfarrei Stappenbeck und gehört heute zum Pfarrbereich Salzwedel-St. Georg im Kirchenkreis Salzwedel im Propstsprengel Stendal-Magdeburg der Evangelischen Kirche in Mitteldeutschland.

Im Jahre 1822 war die eigene Pfarrei Pretzier aufgelöst und als Tochterkirche Stappenbeck zugelegt worden. Sie wurde als mater combinata zu Stappenbeck bezeichnet. Die ältesten überlieferten Kirchenbücher für Pretzier stammen aus dem Jahr 1741.

Wappen
Das Wappen nutzte die Gemeinde auf ihrer Homepage. Eine Beschreibung ist nicht überliefert.

Kultur und Sehenswürdigkeiten
 Die evangelische Dorfkirche Pretzier basiert auf einem barockisierenden Entwurf von Hans Jessen. Sie wurde 1911 eingeweiht. Vom mittelalterlichen Vorgängerbau wurde der querrechteckige Westturm aus Feldstein übernommen und massiv in Fachwerk erhöht und mit einem keilförmigen Walmdach abgeschlossen. Dank der Spende von mehreren Kilogramm Kupfernägeln einer Kirchengemeinde aus dem Raum Oldenburg konnte 1956 das Turmdach mit Schieferplatten eingedeckt werden. Die heutige Kirche wurde 1999 nach umfangreichen Renovierungsarbeiten fertiggestellt.
 Der Ortsfriedhof ist auf dem Kirchhof.
 In Pretzier steht in der Ortsmitte ein Denkmal für die Gefallenen des Ersten Weltkrieges mit einer Gedenktafel für die Opfer des Zweiten Weltkrieges.

 Eisenbahn

Der Haltepunkt Pretzier (Altm) liegt an der Bahnstrecke Stendal–Uelzen. Hier halten mehrmals täglich Regionalbahnen. Nach dem Stationsverzeichnis der Eisenbahnen Europas von 1936 lautete auch schon die Reichsbahn-Stationsbezeichnung Pretzier (Altm.). Von dieser Ortsbezeichnung wich die Bezeichnung der Firma Kleinbahn Osterburg – Deutsch Pretzier ab.

Opera Columbus (Opera Association of Central Ohio, OC) is an American professional opera company in Columbus, Ohio, founded in 1981, and is a member of Opera America. OC employs nearly 350 artists and creative professionals annually—vocalists, artisans, stagehands, costumers, and scenic designers—many of whom are members of the Columbus community.

Productions
The company currently offers three fully staged opera productions and an educational outreach program during an annual season that runs from October through May, one of which is a featured new work. Performances are offered in Downtown Columbus and in partnership with the Columbus Association for the Performing Arts.

Opera Columbus collaborates with other organizations, including Against the Grain Theatre (Toronto), Apollo's Fire Baroque Orchestra (Cleveland), BalletMet (Columbus), the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, the Columbus Symphony Orchestra, Company XIV (New York), and ProMusica Chamber Orchestra (Columbus).

History

Opera Columbus was chartered in September 1981 with productions of Tosca, Il trovatore, and Don Giovanni, in the same year. Its current general director and CEO is Julia Noulin-Mérat, having begun her tenure with the 2021 season.

Opera Columbus has an artistic collaboration with the Artist Diploma for Opera Studies (ADOS) program at the Juilliard School. Launched in 2016–2017, this collaboration is bringing Juilliard ADOS artists to Columbus to perform in principal roles in Opera Columbus' mainstage productions. In addition to fulfilling Opera Columbus' mission to support and develop emerging talent, this relationship also benefits local audiences, bringing such artists to the Columbus stage, often in their role debuts.

Their K-12 education programs include in-school children's opera performances and workshops, Southern Theatre tours, student discount tickets, and new programs like concerts in the classroom and opera rehearsals.

In 2021, Opera Columbus announced their inaugural Crane Directing Fellowship specifically for BIPOC artists.

Opera Columbus is a non-profit organization overseen by an independent board of directors with an operating budget of $1.2M. Its main offices are located in the Ohio Theatre building at 55 E. State St. Their mantra is "Make it Yours".

World premieres
Vanqui (1999) is a tale of death and resurrection through the eyes of the heroine, Vanqui, a 19th-century enslaved woman. The original music is by Leslie Savoy Burrs and the libretto by John A. Williams.
The Flood, a new work co-produced and co-commissioned with ProMusica Chamber Orchestra, dives into the history of Columbus through the emotional storytelling of Stephen Wadsworth and the composition of Korine Fujiwara.

Brady was a talented attacking midfielder renowned for his left foot and elegant technical skills such as his high-quality passing, vision and close control, which made him an excellent playmaker.

Brady went on to manage Celtic and Brighton and Hove Albion, and was the assistant manager of the Republic of Ireland from 2008 to 2010. He also held the post of Head of Youth Development at Arsenal from 1996 to 2013 and has been a frequent television pundit with RTÉ Sport.

Early life and family
Brady was born and raised in Dublin in a footballing family, with both his great uncle Frank Brady Sr. and older brother Ray Brady winning senior international caps. Of his other brothers,  Frank won the FAI Cup with Shamrock Rovers in 1968 and made two appearances in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, while Pat played with Millwall and Queens Park Rangers. Liam attended St. Aidan's C.B.S., leaving before his Intermediate Certificate. He alleged at the time that he had been expelled for missing a school Gaelic football match to play a schoolboy soccer international; the school denied this.

Club career
Brady started his career at Arsenal, moving to London to join the side on schoolboy forms in 1971, at the age of 15. He turned professional on his 17th birthday in 1973, and made his debut on 6 October 1973 against Birmingham City as a substitute for Jeff Blockley, and put in an assured performance. However his next match, in a North London derby against Tottenham Hotspur, Brady had a poor match, and Arsenal manager Bertie Mee decided from then on to use the young Irishman sparingly for the time being. Brady ended the 1973–74 season with 13 appearances (four of them as substitute) to his name. While at Arsenal, and particularly early in his career, Brady was nicknamed "Chippy", not for his ability to chip the ball but for his fondness for fish and chips.

In 1974–75 Brady was a first-team regular at Arsenal, and shone as a rare light in a side that hovered close to relegation for a couple of seasons in the mid-1970s. With the appointment of Terry Neill as manager and the return of Don Howe as coach, Brady found his best form. His passing provided the ammunition for Arsenal's front men such as Malcolm Macdonald and Frank Stapleton, and Arsenal reached three FA Cup finals in a row between 1978 and 1980. Arsenal won only the middle of the three, against Manchester United in the 1979 final, with Brady starting the move that ended in Alan Sunderland's famous last-minute winner.

Brady was at the peak of his Arsenal form by now, as shown by one of his best goals for Arsenal; having dispossessed Peter Taylor he flighted a looped curled shot from the edge of the penalty area into the top corner, in a 5–0 win against Tottenham Hotspur on 23 December 1978. During this time he was voted the club's player of the year three times, and chosen as the PFA Players' Player of the Year in 1979. Being from Ireland, he was the first foreign player to win the award.

He was the most talented player in what was then a promising young Arsenal side, which was looking to consistently challenge for honours such as the Division One title. Despite this, by the 1979–80 season rumour was rife that Brady would be leaving the club in search of a fresh challenge.

That season, Arsenal reached the Cup Winners' Cup final (losing to Valencia on penalties), having beaten Juventus 2–1 over two legs in the semi-finals. Brady's performance in the tie impressed the Italian giants and in the 1980 close season they signed him for just over £500,000, becoming the first foreign player to sign for the club since the Italian borders were re-opened for foreign transfers in 1980. He is remembered as one of Arsenal's all-time greats, playing 307 matches for the Gunners, scoring 59 goals and setting up many more.

Brady spent two seasons with Juventus, wearing the number 10 shirt, and picking up two Italian Championship medals, in 1981 and 1982; Brady scored the only goal (a penalty) in the 1–0 win against Catanzaro that won the 1982 title. After the arrival of Michel Platini in summer 1982, Brady moved to Sampdoria, and went on to play for Internazionale (1984–1986) and Ascoli (1986–1987), before returning to London in March 1987, for a transfer fee of £100,000, to play for West Ham United, where he scored 10 goals in 119 games in all competitions. He was a member of the side relegated from the First Division in 1989 and played one season in the Second Division before finally retiring as a player in 1990. His last game came on 5 May 1990, a 4–0 home win against Wolverhampton Wanderers, a game in which he scored.

International career
Brady made his debut for Ireland on 30 October 1974, in a 3–0 win against the Soviet Union at Dalymount Park in a European Championship qualifier.
Brady has claimed his favourite international goal was that against Brazil in 1987.

Due to a suspension accrued before Euro 88 he was not eligible to play within the tournament. During qualification for Italia 90 Brady retired from the international game. As Ireland got to the World Cup he declared himself available to play once again. However, Jack Charlton went on to declare that only those who played in the qualifiers would make the trip to Italy.

He won 72 international caps for the Republic of Ireland with 70 within the starting line-up, scoring 9 goals.

Managerial career
After retiring from playing in 1990, he managed Celtic between 1991 and 1993, and then Brighton & Hove Albion between 1993 and 1995. Neither spell was particularly successful, and at both clubs Brady's tenure was overshadowed by the respective clubs' financial problems. At Celtic, Brady failed to win a single trophy in his two-year tenure, which included a 5–2 defeat on aggregate by Neuchâtel Xamax in the 1991–92 UEFA Cup.

Brady had no greater success with Brighton, departing following a disagreement over the way the club was being run; He later led an unsuccessful bid by a consortium to buy the club.

He rejoined Arsenal in July 1996, as Head of Youth Development and Academy Director. Although he was linked to the manager's post after the departure of Bruce Rioch, Brady stated he was not interested in the role and Arsène Wenger eventually took up the post. Under Brady, Arsenal's youth sides won the 1998 FA Premier Youth League, the FA Premier Academy League U17 title in 2000 and the FA Premier Academy League U19 title in 2002. Under his watch they also lifted the 2009 and 2010 FA Premier Academy League U18 titles, together with the FA Youth Cup in 2000, 2001 and 2009.

After the sacking of Steve Staunton in 2007, Brady became an assistant to new manager Giovanni Trapattoni alongside former Juventus teammate Marco Tardelli in 2008, while continuing to work as Director of the Arsenal Youth Academy. He stepped down from the Republic of Ireland post in April 2010 when his contract expired. He stated he would have gladly stayed on with Ireland were it not for his Arsenal commitments.

On 30 January 2013, Arsenal announced that Brady would leave his role as Director of the Arsenal Youth Academy in May 2014.

Brady served as an ambassador of The Arsenal Foundation.

Media career
Brady first worked as a pundit for the BBC at the 1990 and 1994 World Cups before moving for the 1998 tournament to RTÉ Sport. He joined what became a long-running studio team with fellow pundits Johnny Giles and Eamon Dunphy and presenter Bill O'Herlihy. They were parodied by the Après Match sketches in which Brady was portrayed by Barry Murphy. Brady has remained an RTÉ panellist, appearing on coverage of the 2018 World Cup, UEFA Euro 2020 and 2022 World Cup.

Brady was involved in an Irish anti-drugs campaign in the early 1990s, called "give drugs the boot", which encouraged young boys to play sport as a healthy pastime.

In February 2023, a documentary about his life called Liam Brady: The Irishman Abroad aired on RTE 1.

Johanna Nordblad is a Finnish designer, ice diver and freediver.

Professional career
Prior to ice diving, Nordblad started her freediving career in 2000 and has since been competing in the World Championships with the world's best freedivers. In 2004, she broke the female record in freediving with fins (dynamic), swimming 158 metres in 6m 39s. Nordblad also was the Finnish team captain and coach for the men's national freediving team, preparing them for the 2014 World cup in Italy. Her current record in dynamic freediving is 192 m from the 2013 World Championships in Belgrade, Serbia. She also achieved a static breath hold of 6 min 35 sec at the 2015 World Championships in Turku, Finland.

Nordblad had a cycling accident in 2010 in which she broke her leg. She started cold-water treatment (ice therapy) in 2013 upon the recommendation of her doctor. She began freediving under the Arctic ice in the 2000s. In 2015, she broke the Guinness World Record for females on March 14, 2015, diving for 50 metres under the ice in 2 °C cold water of Lake Päijänne, while only wearing a swimsuit and mask. On the 18th of March 2021 Nordblad set a new under ice swimming record by diving 103 metres in Lake Ollori under 60cm thick ice without fins or wetsuit which was certified by CMAS. Her journey leading up to her world record attempt, which was interrupted by the covid-19 pandemic, is documented in the Netflix film 'Hold Your Breath: the Ice Dive'.

Nordblad has a history in marketing. She has worked full-time in digital media, printing products, and graphic design. Johanna Nordblad and her sister Elina Manninen, a professional photographer, own the company Greenwater Production. The sisters have produced a variety of lifestyle, adventure and sports related picture books ('I'm Ok –Freediving', 'Paris –Street', 'Underwater Picture Book', 'Freediving Serbia', and 'Helsinki Finland'), as well as short films that capture Johanna's underwater experiences. Since 2017, Nordblad is the Art and Creative Director of the company.

Besides the documentaries from Greenwater Production, Nordblad's diving adventures also appear in the short film Johanna that Nowness shared and Green Water Production co-produced, directed by Ian Derry. National Geographic shared the film on its Facebook page in 2015 and it has since then gone viral.
