title: Podemos (Spanish political party)

text:
Podemos (, translated in English as "We Can") is a left-wing populist political party in Spain. Part of the anti-austerity movement in Spain, it was founded in January 2014 by political scientist Pablo Iglesias Turrión and other academics in the aftermath of the 15-M Movement protests against inequality and corruption.

In the 2014 European Parliament election in Spain, Podemos won 8.0% of the vote, and five seats out of 54. The result of newly founded party received significant media attention, having outperformed the polls. By October 2014, Podemos claimed it was the second largest political party in Spain by number of members after the People's Party.

In the 2015 Spanish general elections, Podemos won 69 seats, becoming the country's third largest political force; 300,000 votes behind the main Spanish left-wing party, the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party.

On 9 May 2016, Podemos formed the Unidos Podemos electoral alliance with the United Left, Equo, and regionalist left-wing parties. In May 2018, the party joined Maintenant le Peuple. After the fall of government talks with the PSOE after the April 2019 Spanish general election, the November 2019 Spanish general election, in which the party and its allies won 12.9% of the vote and 35 seats in the Congress of Deputies, resulted in the Sánchez II Government through a coalition government between Podemos and the PSOE, the first multi-party cabinet in the Spanish democratic era.

History

Background and foundation

Podemos emerged from the Indignados movement against inequality and corruption in 2011. The group was inspired by the populist leaders of Latin America's Pink tide, which included Venezuela's Hugo Chávez and Bolivia's Evo Morales.

In January 2014, it released the manifesto Mover ficha: convertir la indignación en cambio político ("Move A Piece: Turn Indignation Into Political Change"), which was signed by thirty intellectuals and personalities, including Juan Carlos Monedero, Alberto San Juan, associate professor of political science at the National University of Distance Education (UNED) Jaime Pastor, the writer and philosopher Santiago Alba Rico, the former leader of the Left Trade Union Current Cándido González Carnero and Bibiana Medialdea, associate professor of applied economy at the UCM.

Podemos' manifesto stated that it was necessary to create a party list for the 2014 European Parliament election, with the goal of opposing the dominant policies of the European Union from the left. On 14 January, Pablo Iglesias Turrión, a professor of political science at the UCM and a TV presenter, was announced as head the movement. The movement was organised by the party Anti-Capitalist Left (Izquierda Anticapitalista), the Spanish section of the Trotskyist Fourth International, which had written the Mover ficha manifesto. One of the points highlighted by Iglesias was the derogation of the 135th article of the Constitution, which was made in 2011 by the major parties People's Party (PP) and Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE); full application of the 128th article of the constitution ("All wealth of the country in all its forms and no matter who owns it, is subordinated to the people's interest"); and maintaining abortion rights. They also demanded Spain exit from NATO and support self-determination rights.

The Podemos movement was officially launched on 16 January 2014 in the Teatro del Barrio in the Lavapiés neighbourhood of Madrid, with a press conference attended by hundreds of people. The speakers at the launch included Pablo Iglesias, Juan Carlos Monedero, Teresa Rodríguez, psychiatrist and member of the Marea Blanca Ana Castaño, Íñigo Errejón and Miguel Urbán. The party's fundamental goal was to oppose the austerity policies of the government.

In order to run in the European elections of 2014, the members of the bare bones of Podemos set themselves three conditions: to receive the support of at least 50,000 people; that both the programme and the lists of candidates be prepared through open participation; and that unity be sought with other parties and movements of the left, such as United Left, the Popular Unity Candidacy, the X Party, the Andalusian Workers' Union, Anova and the citizens' mareas ("tides"). The 50,000 signatures were obtained in less than 24 hours and the Podemos website crashed due to the high traffic.

In August 2015, Podemos endorsed Jeremy Corbyn's campaign in the Labour Party leadership election. The party's international secretariat released a statement that "In Podemos we share Jeremy Corbyn's view that another Europe is not just possible but necessary". It added: "Against the irresponsibility of the troika and the Eurogroup, against the Europe of financial lobbies and puppet representatives, a new democratic and social Europe is emerging, and Jeremy Corbyn's victory would be a great step in that direction".

2014 European Parliament election
In the 2014 European Parliament election in Spain on 25 May, Podemos received 7.98% of the national vote, with 1,200,000 votes cast, electing five Members of the European Parliament (MEPs). Iglesias chose Dina Bousselham to lead his cabinet of advisors as an MEP.

El País described Pablo Iglesias Turrión as pessimistic about the outcome of the election: "We have lost these European elections. They have been won by the People's Party. We cannot be happy about this". He stated that his objective is to "move forward until we throw the PP and the PSOE out of power" and that "[w]e will now work with other parties from the south of Europe to make it clear that we don't want to be a German colony". Iglesias said Podemos MEPs would not take the standard MEP salary of more than €8,000 a month, stating that "not one of our MEPs will earn more than €1,930, an amount that's three times the minimum wage in Spain".

First party congress
On 5 June 2014, Pablo Iglesias Turrión announced that the Asamblea Ciudadana "Sí se puede" (Citizens' Assembly "Yes, It Can Be Done") would take place in the autumn. Iglesias also announced that a team of twenty-five people would be responsible for preparing the assembly, to be chosen in open elections in which anybody could participate, with closed lists, with no limit to the number of lists which could be presented. The vote took place over the Internet on 12 and 13 June. Two lists were presented, one headed by Iglesias and the other promoted by the Círculo de Enfermería ("Nurses' circle"). The technical details of the election and the deadlines generated discussion within Podemos. In a meeting of Podemos circles which took place on 8 June in Madrid, there was criticism for both the closed lists and the short deadlines, which allegedly led to fewer lists being presented. The electoral process in which 55,000 people participated gave the victory to Iglesias' list, with 86.8% of the vote.

A major part of the citizens' assembly involved the writing of documents defining the political and organisational principles of the party as well as resolutions the party would adopt. Any member of Podemos could present a document and these would be adopted or rejected in a vote with all members of Podemos participating. These documents would determine the structure of the party. Internal elections would then take place, again with the participation of all members of Podemos, to fill the positions defined by this structure.

The citizens' assembly held a meeting in Madrid on 18 and 19 October. On 19 October, Podemos membership was 130,000 and on 22 October it was 170,000.

The citizens' assembly adopted five resolutions, all of which were submitted by circles, based on the votes of Podemos members, each of whom could vote for five resolutions. The approved resolutions were on improving public education (45%), on anti-corruption measures (42%), on the right to housing (38%), on improving public healthcare (31%) and on auditing and re-structuring the debt (23%).

The ethical, political and structure documents proposed by the "Claro que Podemos", which included Luis Alegre, Carolina Bescansa, Íñigo Errejón, Pablo Iglesias and Juan Carlos Monedero were approved by 80.7% of the vote, surpassing "Sumando Podemos" 12.3% of the vote, promoted by the MEPs Pablo Echenique, Teresa Rodríguez and Lola Sánchez in the vote for the structure document.

2015 local elections
In October 2014, Podemos decided not to stand candidates in the 2015 Spanish local elections. Instead, it decided that its members would support local grassroots candidacies, most notably Barcelona en Comú, the citizen platform led by anti-evictions activist Ada Colau in Barcelona and Ahora Madrid (led by ex judge Manuela Carmena) in Madrid.

2015 general election
In the lead up to the 2015 general election, Podemos adopted a pledge that, if the party won the election, it would hold a nationwide referendum on whether Spain should retain the Spanish monarchy or become a republic. The party also promised to increase public spending and ban job cuts in profitable firms.

At the 2015 general election on 20 December 2015, Podemos received 21% of the vote and became the third largest party in the parliament, with 69 out of 350 seats.

Unidos Podemos

Following the failure of the 2015–2016 Spanish government formation negotiations to create a stable coalition government, on 2 May 2016 a second general election was called for June 2016. To contest the election, Podemos formed an electoral alliance with United Left, Equo and regional left-wing parties, the official name being announced on 13 May 2016 as Unidos Podemos ("United We Can"). The coalition received 21.2% of the vote.

Andalucía
Podemos formed the Adelante Andalucía coalition with the left, the Greens and Primavera Andaluza to contest the 2018 Andalusian regional election.

Sumar
In April 2023, Podemos declined to join left-wing alliance with new party Sumar because of differences over how candidates are selected. It was intended that these differences be resolved and negotiated on before Podemos would join the new alliance of left-wing parties for the upcoming general election scheduled for December 2023. Poor results for the ruling PSOE, Podemos and other left-wing parties in the Spanish local and regional elections held on 28 May 2023 led to Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez calling for a snap general election, five months earlier than originally planned. This resulted in a speeding up of the negotiation process with Sumar. On 9 June, Podemos came to an agreement to run together with Sumar at the upcoming general elections just hours before the deadline for the registration of coalitions with electoral authority. Podemos immediately came into conflict with Sumar and its leader Yolanda Díaz over the inclusion of Podemos candidates on the electoral lists. The main point of conflict was the supposed veto of Díaz over the prominent Podemos politician and Minister for Equality, Irene Montero, wife of Podemos founder and former leader, Pablo Iglesias. Montero was not to be included on the Sumar list for the Madrid constituency. This move was widely condemned by the leadership and supporters of Podemos, with former leader Iglesias calling it "a political mistake"' and asking Díaz to rectify it; he stated that he found it hard in the situation to separate "the personal from the political". In addition, Podemos spokesperson in the Congress, Pablo Echenique, was also excluded from the lists. Ione Belara, the General Secretary of Podemos, was placed fifth on the list for Madrid. In the election the won 5 seats in the Congress of Deputies.

Ideology and platform

A party on the left-wing or the far-left of the political spectrum, Podemos has been described as a democratic socialist and left-wing populist party which holds anti-austerity, anti-corruption, and anti-establishment views. It promotes direct democracy, federalism, patriotism, republicanism, and an alternative social democracy to that of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) through populist rhetoric.

Podemos presented a collaboratively written programme for the 2014 European Parliament election in Spain. Some of the most important policies were emphasis on public control, poverty reduction, and social dignity via a basic income for every adult, including lobbying controls and punitive measures against tax avoidance by large corporations and multinational organizations, as well as promotion of smaller enterprises. It also included revoking or curtailing the Treaty of Lisbon, abandoning the memorandum of understanding, withdrawing from some free trade agreements, and promoting referendums on any major constitutional reform. On environmentalism, it advocated reduction of fossil fuel consumption, promotion of public transport and renewable energy initiatives, reduction of industrial cash crop agriculture, and stimulating local food production by small and medium enterprises.

Domestic politics
Podemos is opposed to the current parliamentary monarchy and wants to offer a referendum on its continuity, instead advocating for a federal, "plurinational" new republic. Furthermore, the party is supportive of direct democracy.

The party and its former leader (Pablo Iglesias Turrión) support the right to self-determination of autonomous communities like Catalonia and the Basque Country. The party has called for the release of jailed Catalan separatist leaders on trial in Spain's Supreme Court.

Podemos supported the exhumation of Francisco Franco.

Social issues
Podemos has been described as a progressive party. The party considers itself egalitarian, secularist, anti-racist, anti-fascist and environmentalist.

The party is strongly feminist and supports abortion being legal. On the matter of prostitution, the party is split between abolitionists and those seeking to better regulate prostitution. The party has advocated for feminism as a subject in schools.

Podemos supports LGBT rights. The party is responsible for the Ley Trans, a law focused on gender self-determination and trans rights that has created a rift in the government.

Podemos supports the right to vote for immigrants, particularly Moroccans, as part of their "political rights", and the party has called for the regularisation of over half a million of illegal immigrants. According to Okdiario, Podemos "tries to revitalise its electoral expectations in a coveted voting camp: the immigrant one".

Podemos supports legalising and regulating cannabis in Spain. The party also supported the legalisation of euthanasia.

Economy
Podemos opposes economic inequality. The party wants to increase public spending and ban job cuts in profitable firms. It supports redistributive fiscal policies and a bigger welfare state. Podemos rejects neoliberal capitalism and wants to regulate rental prices so they do not surpass 30% of mean income. The party wants to increase the minimum wage.

The party supports a universal basic income (UBI) for everyone over 18 years of age in Spain. In January 2023, the party proposed the amount be between €700 and €1,400 a month.

Environment
The party is opposed to climate change and wants to create laws against "energetic poverty".

Foreign policy
Podemos considers itself a pro-European party, but has expressed displeasure with the current functioning of the European Union, and has been described as taking a Eurosceptic stance by some sources. However, others consider it to be a pro-European party and several academics have defined it as soft Eurosceptic. Podemos has called for a renegotiation of austerity measures and seeks to curtail the Treaty of Lisbon.

Podemos is a member of The Left in the European Parliament, where the Greek party Syriza is also found, and whose leader, Alexis Tsipras, has been supportive of Podemos.

The party supports the withdrawal from NATO of Spain. Podemos is also opposed to an increase in military spending.

Podemos supports the right of self-determination for the Sahrawi people, seeking to establish high-level diplomatic relations between Spain and the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic and to expand the mandate of the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara so that "it acquires competencies in the protection and promotion of the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of the Sahrawi population". Podemos reiterated its support for a referendum of self-determination after Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez supported Morocco's autonomy proposal by presenting a motion in the Congress of Deputies together with ERC and EH Bildu that ended up being approved.

Reception
The support obtained by the new formation after the European elections in 2014 resulted in multiple analyses and reactions. While some sectors welcomed the results, there were also expressions of concern. Pedro Sanchez, Secretary General of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE) since July 2014, branded Podemos populist on numerous occasions at the beginning of his term while much of its electorate opted for the new party. The New York Times stated that "the party's 36-page campaign program reads like a wish list, with little detail about how it could be financed at a time when Spain is still struggling under a heavy debt burden". Vicente Palacio of Fundación Alternativas said that Podemos could have "very beneficial effects in terms of regenerating the Spanish democratic system", but is in danger of going "toward populism and demagogy, as has happened in the case of Beppe Grillo and his Five Star Movement in Italy".

The leader of Union, Progress and Democracy (UPyD) Rosa Díez said that similarities could be found with the Greek left-wing coalition Syriza, with the Five Star Movement of Beppe Grillo and even with the French right-wing National Front of Marine Le Pen. The spokesman for the People's Party María Dolores de Cospedal said that poll results show a radicalisation of the left vote. Esperanza Aguirre, another prominent member of the People's Party, accused Pablo Iglesias of "being with the Castrismo, with Chavismo and ETA", which Iglesias responded to statements described as "slander" and announced he would consider legal action.

The leaders of Podemos also tried to distance themselves from the government of Venezuela following allegations of "murky" funding since many Podemos leaders were linked to Venezuela and other "revolutionary" governments in Latin America. Consulting work by several party members, including Iglesias, in leftist Latin American governments earned their consulting organisation, Center for Political and Social Studies Foundation (CEPS Foundation), €3.5 million, which helped fund their television debates. Juan Carlos Monedero, one of Podemos' founding members, received €425,000 for political consultancy work for Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia and Nicaragua. Podemos called for an external auditor to observe accounts from February 2014 to December 2014, which showed that the total income from both private donations and state subsidies was at about €947,000. Among the largest donors to the party were Podemos' own five MEPs, who donated €52,000 in 2014 from their salaries.

Since March 2015, journalists have been critical of the relationship between the political party and the traditional media. In March 2017, around a dozen Spanish journalists filed a complaint with the Madrid Press Association (APM), accusing Podemos of intimidating them because they published articles that were critical of the party. The Economist magazine has described the party as far-left.

Popular support

According to GlobalPost, Podemos and other parties of the left have suddenly grown because of Europe's economic difficulties. Unemployment, especially among young Spanish adults, has created a positive sentiment towards Podemos and their appeal to the unsatisfied youth of Spain with an "irreverent style". Podemos also used its very well run social media presence to its benefit to find popularity.

After it received the fourth highest number of votes in the European elections, news related to the growth of Podemos started to be published. The hashtag Pablo Iglesias was the number 1 trending topic on Twitter in Spain the day after the elections and Iglesias appeared on the front page of prominent Spanish newspapers. Before the elections, Podemos was already the most popular political force within social networks, but it had increased from 100,000 to 600,000 "Likes" on Facebook between May and July 2014. The CIS' quarterly survey, polling over July 2014 (two months after the elections) showed Podemos as the second most popular party regarding direct intention of vote, surpassing the PSOE, but being a 0.9% behind the PP. In late July, Podemos started to allow individuals to sign up, with 32,000 people registering as members in the first 48 hours through Podemos' website for free. In the first 20 days, Podemos already had about 100,000 members, becoming the third largest Spanish party by membership, surpassing United Left (IU), Union, Progress and Democracy (UPyD), Convergence and Union (CiU) and Basque Nationalist Party (PNV/EAJ). In August 2014, Podemos already had 442,000 more "Likes" on Facebook than the "Likes" of the rest of the parties combined, having 708,763, with more than 2.6 million views on its YouTube channel. In September 2014, the interview of Iglesias in Viajando con Chester had almost 3 million watchers, being the most watched programme in its timeslot with 14.5% of the audience share. In October 2014, Iglesias' participation in La Sexta Noche (in which he was also interviewed) rose the audience share of the programme to 16,2%, which is its historical maximum. Iglesias' interview in Salvados also made the programme have its best ever audience, with a 23.8% and 5 million watchers. In late October, Podemos had more than 200,000 members. On 2 November 2014, El Pais published an opinion poll which gave Podemos 27.7% approval rating, compared to PSOE's 26.2% and PP's 20.7%; and gave Podemos a direct intention of vote of 22.2%, compared to PSOE's 13.1% and PP's 10.4%. The party lost much support in the polls during the final months of 2015 when elections were approaching (sinking to 13%) whereas during the election campaign experienced a huge rise in support in the polls up to 20% of vote days before the election.

According to Politico Europe's Poll of Polls, Podemos has remained the fourth most popular party in Spain, since the November 2019 Spanish general election. Podemos has polled, on average, at 11% by National Parliament voting intention.

title: Craigie House

text:
The Craigie House was a historic home located at 1204 Piedmont Avenue NE in Atlanta, Georgia, across from Piedmont Park.  Built in 1911, it originally served as the home of the local chapter (the first in Georgia) of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and was the second-oldest DAR structure in the United States.   Historians believe parts of the home were brought from the park after the 1895 Cotton States Exposition was held there.

It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, but was not given any legal protection by the city.  A tree fell on the building during the mid 1980s, and it was again damaged by Hurricane Opal in 1995.  It was listed as one of the state's most endangered historic places by the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation in 2011, and after having changed hands multiple times, was purchased in March 2013 by a person who later began to renovate the interior for use as a private home while preserving the exterior.

During the February 2014 winter storm, most of the building collapsed, except for the front façade.  The combination of snow, sleet, and freezing rain apparently triggered the disaster, which did not injure anyone since it was still vacant during renovations, and at night, with workers (and nearly all Atlantans) having stayed at home for the day due to the storm.  The owner still intends to at least save the historic front when rebuilding.

The remains of the building were demolished in April 2016.

Beau Coup began in the year of 1983 as a recording project and performed under the name Pop Opera. They changed their name to Beau Coup at the end of 1984. The project was started by vocalist Tommy Amato (not to be confused with the prolific session drummer of the same name, also from Cleveland), guitarist Mike McGill and drummer Eric Singer. Eventually, Amato invited keyboardist and songwriter Dennis Lewin to join the project while he was playing in a band called Jonah Koslen and the Heroes.

In that same year after the Heroes disbanded, Lewin, Tommy's older brother Frank and Bill March joined the project. With the help from Henry LoConti Sr. and Henry LoConti Jr., proprietors of the Agora Theatre and Ballroom and the "Agora Record Label", the band released their 6 song EP titled Beau Coup, known as their (White Album) which featured mostly Lewin's songs. The first single released from that EP was "Still In My Heart" which was authorized for airplay by 98.5 WGCL's WNCX  General Manager and Program Directors. The song became a top 10 record on the station. Subsequently Rock 'n Roll Records, a subsidiary of Scotti Brothers Records signed the band and the song was distributed by CBS Records in the year of 1984. Program Director John Gorman (radio) at WMMS also took great interest in Beau Coup and gave them extensive airplay and invited them to participate in many station events as well.

After much struggle with Scotti Brothers Records and after being released by the label, the Beau Coup "Born & Raised on Rock & Roll" album, CD, and cassette were finally released on the Amherst Record label in the USA and on A&M Records of Canada and Europe in 1987.

The song “Sweet Rachel” written by Dennis Lewin, reached #80 on the “Billboard Hot 100” singles chart and received much radio and video play internationally. Other Lewin songs including “Still in my Heart”, “Somewhere Out in the Night” and “Born & Raised on Rock & Roll”  were all picked by Billboard as “Hot Picks”  along with a video which was played on video shows in the US and abroad, including MTV and USA Video Hits.

Although Beau Coup disbanded in the early 1990s, from time to time they reunite to perform for several special events.

Because of the Beau Coup song "Jane" which Lewin wrote about the legendary rock music critic Jane Scott, they were invited to perform at her memorial service which was held at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio in 2011.

Game summaries

Game 1: vs. North Dakota State Bison

Game 2: vs. Kansas State Wildcats

Kansas State won its first game and entered the game with a record of 1–0, while Iowa State had just came off a loss against North Dakota State.  Prior to the game, Iowa State has lost 32 of its last 36 games against ranked opponents while Kansas State had won the last six meetings overall after last season's 41-7 win.  When ranked, the Wildcats have defeated the Cyclones in 10 straight dating to 1994.

The game began with Kansas State taking an early lead 13–0 in the first quarter, but Iowa State scored a touchdown before the quarter concluded.  That Iowa State touchdown was the first of four consecutive for the cyclones which led them in with a 28–20 lead at halftime.  Neither team scored in the third period and Kansas State's defense continued the fourth quarter to prevent any score, allowing the Kansas State offense to produce two more touchdowns and a Wildcat victory 32–28.  The comeback-from-behind victory was considered "defining" for Kansas State.

During the game, Kansas State wide receiver Tyler Lockett caught a pass near the goal line on the sidelines.  In this play, it appeared that his knee appeared touched a pylon.  That event would by rule negate the catch. The Wildcats scored a touchdown on the next play, which prevented any additional video review.  The Big 12 replay official and communicator were given a one-game suspension for failing to follow protocol.

Game 3: at Iowa Hawkeyes

Game 4: vs. Baylor Bears

title: Battle of Canton (1856)

text:
The Battle of Canton was fought between British and Chinese forces at the city of Canton (Guangzhou), Guangdong province, China on 23 October to 5 November 1856 during the Second Opium War.

Battle
On 23 October, British operations began with the attack on four forts known as the Barrier Forts in the Pearl River. The Coromandel and Barracouta captured the forts with slight opposition, the first shot in the war being fired from the Coromandel. Rear-Admiral Michael Seymour, commander-in-chief of British forces in China, reported no British casualties and four or five Chinese killed due to an "ill-judged resistance". Afterwards, Seymour proceeded to Canton, where he found the Encounter moored off the city near the Canton Factories. He sent the Sampson and Barracouta to secure the free navigation of Blenheim Reach along the river. Both ships took possession of the Blenheim and Macao Forts without resistance. British sailor William Kennedy described the scene at the city:

The river was alive with every kind of craft, from the little sampan, propelled by a single oar in the stern, to the heavy trading junk with her single iron-wood mast and mat sails. Numerous flower-boats belonging to wealthy mandarins were moored off the town, conspicuous by their gaudy paint, and crowded with laughing girls, who kept up an incessant chatter as they peeped out at the foreign devils!

The next morning, Seymour proceeded down Macao Reach where he met the Barracouta. The Dutch Folly Fort opposite the factories and Bird's Nest Fort were taken quiet possession of, as were afterwards the two Shameen Forts commanding the passage. The captured guns were rendered unserviceable. A detachment of Royal Marines was landed to protect the factories, later reinforced by another party and some bluejackets (sailors). Advanced posts and field guns were stationed at the most important points, and barricades placed across the streets to guard against a surprise attack. On 25 October, Chinese forces attacked the pickets but were repulsed by the Marines with a loss of 14 Chinese killed and wounded. On 26 October, operations were temporarily halted, being a "day of rest" on Sunday.

At 1 pm on 27 October, the Encounter opened fire from its stern pivot at Governor Ye Mingchen's compound (yamen) in Canton, and continued until sunset at intervals of five to ten minutes. At the same time, the Barracouta in Sulphur Creek shelled the Chinese troops on the hills at the back of the city. The British warned the inhabitants within the vicinity to evacuate themselves and their property, which was done later that evening. On 28 October, the British resumed offensive operations from the Dutch Folly, where they placed two guns in position. The shelling of the city walls, aided by a conflagration of a large portion of houses in the line of attack, helped open a clear passage between the Dutch Folly and the city walls for further operations. The next morning, the British resumed firing earlier than expected after the Chinese mounted guns opposite the Dutch Folly. At 2 pm, a detachment of about 400 marines and seamen, aided by the Dutch Folly guns, breached the city wall. After blowing up one of the gates, they took possession of the city, and after inspecting the house and premises of the governor, re-embarked at sunset and retired to their respective quarters. Seymour reported that the Chinese troops offered little resistance "beyond a scattered fire from the streets and houses", from which two British were killed and twelve wounded.

Aftermath
After receiving no concession from Commissioner Ye, the British re-opened fire on the morning of 30 October to maintain the breach. The bombardment continued daily to 5 November from the Encounter, Sampson, and Dutch Folly, targeting the government buildings in the city and the forts in the rear of it. After Chinese war junks gathered under the protection of the nearby French Folly Fort, the British captured the fort on 6 November.

title: Earl Liberty

text:
Earl Liberty (born Mark Vidal on September 4, 1960 in Redondo Beach, California) is an American punk rock bass guitarist, known for playing bass for Saccharine Trust from 1980–82, playing on the South Bay/San Pedro-based band's 1981 debut album, Paganicons, and participating in touring with SST labelmates Black Flag. His stage name was coined when Minutemen's D. Boon declared "Jesus Christ, you're fucking huge! You're as big as the Statue of Liberty!" which was then wedded to his earlier nickname of "Earl."

Liberty joined Saccharine Trust when previous bassist Luis Maldonado left the band disenchanted with their move towards jazz. After two years with Saccharine Trust, Liberty was recruited by Circle Jerks lead singer Keith Morris while at a Bangs concert, as then-bassist Roger Rogerson wanted to move from bass to guitar. The band had also recently recruited Chuck Biscuits (formerly of D.O.A. and Black Flag). The addition of Liberty gave the group a fuller sound, but a few shows into their first tour as a five-piece, Rogerson departed, and the remaining members continued on the tour without him. Liberty played his last show with the Circle Jerks at Perkins Palace in Pasadena on April 21, 1984.

In the summer of 2016 Earl joined up with former Saccaharine Trust bandmate Rob Holzman and Guitarist John Mccree to form a Hermosa Beach local band One Square mile Later joining the group was Noel Neville of the Resolutions.

title: Bermudo Pérez de Traba

text:
Bermudo Pérez de Traba (died 1168), the eldest son of Count Pedro Fróilaz de Traba and his first wife Urraca Fróilaz, was a member of the most important medieval lineage in Galicia. He governed as a tenente Trastámara, Faro (A Coruña),  Viseu, and Seia, owned vast estates in his native land, and was a generous patron of religious institutions.

Biographical sketch

Bermudo was never honored with the title of count, although he was an important magnate and appears in charters signing as dominus (Latin for "lord") and also as Vermudo Petriz Galleciae ("Bermudo Pérez of Galicia"). His presence in medieval documentation is first recorded on 1 April 1104 when, with his brother, Count Fernando Pérez de Traba, he made a donation to the Monastery de San Xoán de Caaveiro. He was a vassal of Queen Urraca of León and, with his brothers, swore his loyalty to her son Alfonso VII upon his ascension to the throne of the Kingdom of León in Zamora.

On 29 July 1118, Queen Urraca, with the consent of her son Alfonso, returned to Bermudo and to his brother Fernando the territories belonging to the monastery at Sobrado which King Ferdinand I had taken by force in 1050. In gratitude Bermudo and Fernando made a gift of a hound named Ulgar and a hunting spear to Alfonso VII. A few years later, on 25 July 1122, he granted his wife Urraca several properties, including the estates in Las Cascas plus another three villages and two monasteries.

Two years later, in 1125, he appears in Portugal confirming a donation made by Countess Theresa, as lord or governor of Viseu while his brother appears as the governor of Coimbra.

After the death of Theresa, Countess of Portugal, on 11 November 1130, he participated in the uprising from his castle in Seia, although his brother-in-law, King Afonso Henriques, forced him to desist and Bermudo returned to Galicia, rarely crossing the Miño River thereafter.

On 9 October 1138, he rebuilt the Monastery of Genrozo, later known as Nuestra Señora de las Dueñas, and finally as Las Cascas. It was most probably founded by Froila Bermúdez, Bermudo's grandfather. He had inherited half of the monastery from his father, Pedro Fróilaz, and King Alfonso VII, who had been raised with Bermudo since Pedro had been his tutor, returned the other half of the monastery which Pedro Fróilaz had given him, so that Bermudo would have the entire property. He gave the monastery to his daughter Urraca (the elder) who entered the convent as a nun and later became its abbess. On 8 September 1145, Urraca, with the consent of her father, donated it to the Monastery of Sobrado. The monastery, now in ruins with only the church of San Pelayo de Genrozo standing, was situated in the territory of Nendos, in a small village known as Las Cascas, close to the city of Betanzos.

According to the Chronicon Lusitanum, a Portuguese source, Bermudo was one of the nobles taken as a captive after the Battle of Valdevez in 1140.

He and his brother Fernando made many donations to the monastery at Sobrado, which had been founded by their ancestors, and owned all its estates over a period of 24 years, from 1118 until 11 January 1142 when they voluntarily handed it over to the Cistercian monks.

He went twice on pilgrimages to the Holy Land; the first time in 1147 with his brother Fernando and cousin Menendo Rodríguez returning to Galicia in 1148. He went again on his own in 1153 and was back in Galicia the next year as attested in a document recording the sale made by Adosinda Rodríguez of a property in Sobrado on 24 April 1155 which is dated, ipso anno presente, quando domnus Vermudis reversus est Hierosalime (when Don Bermudo was back from Jerusalem).

In 1148, he entrusted the abbot at the Benedictine monastery of Toxos Outos with the construction of a convent in Nogueirosa, one of the estates that he had given his wife Urraca as part of her wedding tokens on 25 July 1122.  Years later, in 1150, Urraca made a donation of several properties to the newly founded establishment under the condition that she and four female relatives were to be accepted as members of the religious community of this convent which was called Santa María de Nogueirosa. In December 1156 he made his last recorded visit to the royal court at Palencia.

On 6 August 1160, Bermudo retired as a Cistercian monk at the Monastery of Sobrado dos Monges. On 21 September 1161, Bermudo settled a dispute he had with the monks of Toxos Outos. In this charter he describes himself as "moved by divine inspiration" ("diuina inspiratione conmotus") to become a monk. He died in 1168 when he was approximately 80 years old and was buried at the abbey. At about the same time as her husband became a monk at Sobrado, Urraca entered the convent founded by her husband in Nogueirosa, a parish near Pontedeume, and died in 1173, receiving burial at the church in the convent.

Marriage and issue
He married on more than one occasion, as he himself declares in a document dated 9 October 1138 when he made a donation to his daughter Urraca, a nun and later abbess at the Monastery of Cascas.

He had three children from one of his first wives, Teresa Bermúdez:

 Pedro Bermúdez (died in 1147), in 1147 his father made a donation to the Sobrado for the soul of his son.
 Enrique Bermúdez (died after 1151)
 Mayor Bermúdez (died after 1192), was the wife of the Portuguese noble, Gonçalo Mendes, son of Mem Rodrigues de Tougues and Chamoa Gomes.

He was also apparently married to Adosinda González with whom he had two daughters:

 Ilduara Bermúdez
 Jimena Bermúdez

He married, around July 1122, Urraca Henriques (Enríquez), daughter of Henry, Count of Portugal and his wife, Theresa of León.  The offspring of this marriage were:
 Fernando Bermúdez (died after 1161), who appears frequently in the Kingdom of Portugal confirming charters of his uncle King Afonso Henriques.
 Urraca Bermúdez "the eldest", a nun and abbess at the Monastery of Cascas.
 Suero Bermúdez (died in 1169), buried at the Monastery of Sobrado.
 Teresa Bermúdez (died c. 1219), buried also at Sobrado, she married the Galician magnate Fernando Arias, Lord of Batisela, with whom she had several children, including Juan Fernández, mayordomo mayor and alférez of King Alfonso IX of León.
 Sancha Bermúdez (died. c. 1208), in 1152, she married Soeiro Viegas de Riba Douro, governor of Lamego and son of Egas Moniz, Aio. One of her sons, Lourenço Soares was the husband of Urraca Sanches, illegitimate daughter of King Sancho I of Portugal.
 Urraca Bermúdez "the younger" (died after 1196), she was still alive in 1196 when she confirmed a charter in the Monastery of Sobrado as domna Urraca Ueremude filia domni Ueremudi Petri. She married Pedro Beltran.

title: Sanjin Halimović

text:
Sanjin Halimović (born 31 May 1969) is a Bosnian politician. He served as the mayor of his hometown Sanski Most for seven years beginning in 2004. Halimović is the former Vice President of the Party of Democratic Action and was the Minister of Development, Entrepreneurship and Crafts in Bosnia and Herzegovina from 2011 until 2015.

Biography
Sanjin Halimović was born in the Bosanska Krajina city of Sanski Most to Bosniak parents, while Bosnia and Herzegovina was a part of Communist Yugoslavia at the time. He attended the Veterinary Faculty of the University of Sarajevo, graduating in 1996 and earning his Master's degree in 2000. During postgraduate studies, Halimović resided in the Netherlands and Hanover, Germany.

He defended a Doctoral thesis at the Veterinary Faculty in Sarajevo in 2007 and became an assistant professor at the University of Bihać. Halimović currently serves as a consultant for the Veterinary Department of the Una-Sana Canton, and a lecturer at the Bio-technical Faculty in Bihać.

In addition to his native Bosnian, he speaks German, Italian and English.

Political career

Controversies
Between 2004 and 2010, Halimović served as the mayor of Sanski Most, his hometown. During his tenure, he toured the world, often travelling up to 150 days annually, instead of governing. Also during his time as mayor, he issued all the necessary paperwork and approvals for the construction of luxury cottages in the village of Čaplje in Sanski Most, which he claimed showed his "initiative to craft".

Controversy arose when it was reported that Halimović's wife Samila was illegally hired as a personal adviser to the President of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina Živko Budimir on 11 March 2013, only due to the fact that her husband was a friend of Budimir's.

title: Bowden Institution

text:
Bowden Institution is a medium security prison operated by Correctional Services Canada.
It was built on an "open campus" model.  In an adjoining minimum security annex prisoners live in ordinary houses.

The facility is located on Alberta's Queen Elizabeth II Highway, between the small towns of Bowden, Alberta and Innisfail, Alberta, approximately halfway between Calgary and Edmonton.

History
The institution was constructed on the site of the former RCAF Station Bowden a World War II, British Commonwealth Air Training Plan Facility.

In 2006 there was a knifing at the institution.
Guards threatened to strike, when the knife could not be found.
Linda Slobodian, writing in the Calgary Herald, wrote that the prison had once mainly held sex offenders, but the prison population had recently had a considerable contingent of violent gang members transferred there.

In February 2014 former Guantanamo captive Omar Khadr was transferred to the institution from the Millhaven maximum security facility.
At Bowden, unlike at Millhaven, Khadr would have access to programs which would help him apply for parole.

In 2012/2013 an additional 96-man receiving unit was constructed inside the medium security unit and an additional five 10-man housing units were constructed at the minimum security annex. Currently the medium security unit houses 2 men per cell in the majority of the cells. The daily average population is currently over 700 inmates.

title: Love, Lust and Violence

text:
Love, Lust and Violence (also known as Mafia Girls and Gangster Girls) is a 1975 pornographic film directed by Norbert Meisel, and written by Stan Kamber.

Plot
A pair of Mafiosos try to confront Roger Amsford and his wife at a lounge, wanting to discuss a $20,000 debt Roger owes, but the Amsfords evade them. The men follow the Amsfords to their home, and as his associate beats Roger, Spike rapes Mrs. Amsford. On the way out  Spike and his partner assault Roger's father, Gen. William Amsford, a former member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Taking matters into his own hands, the general has Louise Tyler, his assistant, bring him discharged Ranger Capt. Joseph Napoli, a recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor. Having concluded that regular law enforcement is ineffective against organized crime, Gen. Amsford offers Joe the chance to lead a covert and government-sanctioned assault on the Mafia. Joe accepts the job, partly due to having grown up fearing the mob, which killed his uncle by "splitting him in half on a railroad track".

At a villa, local mob leader Tony Mandano punishes Spike for raping Mrs. Amsford by forcing him to have sex with one of his gun molls; if Spike can abstain from having an orgasm before the girl does, he will not be killed for his insubordination. Spike is unable to restrain himself, and is shot as the onlooking mobsters applaud.

For his first assignment Joe follows Roger to the desolate road where he is going to deliver the money he owes. After Roger pays a pair of thugs, Joe shoots them. Joe and his squad proceed to travel from city to city, wiping out mobsters as the Attorney General repeatedly denies that the assassinations are being directed by the Department of Justice. An affiliate informs Mandano of Gen. Amsford's involvement in the killings, and when Joe and his team attack Mandano's villa, the mob boss ambushes Joe. Joe and Mandano fight, and Joe emerges victorious, beating Mandano to death with his bare hands.

Joe, who had been courting Louise throughout the film, celebrates Mandano's death by having sex with her, after the two make plans to elope. Afterward, there is a knock at the door, and when Joe answers it, he is shot to death as Louise screams.

Reception
Due to containing what was deemed "gratuitous sexual violence" the film was repeatedly denied release in Australia throughout the 1980s.

Ben Sachs of the Chicago Reader stated "There's not much love in this 1975 grindhouse item, an unlikely marriage of vigilante movies and hardcore porn, but two out of three ain't bad" and "This is an authentically decrepit vision of immorality, and director Norbert Meisel, composing resourcefully in anamorphic widescreen, has the virtue of being unique even in his moments of ineptitude". Critical Condition's Fred Adelman praised the film, writing "It contains good acting, an intricate plot and, for once, the hardcore sex plays an important part in the storyline" and "It offers the kind of excitement that most hardcore porn today is sadly missing".

title: 2014 EuroV8 Series

text:
The 2014 EuroV8 Series was the first and final season of the EuroV8 Series, a series formed using the machinery from the Superstars Series, which folded after the 2013 season. The series was re-branded by the FG Group and the Associazione Team Top Car (ATT) for the 2014 season.

Three drivers went into the final round at Hockenheim with a chance of winning the drivers' championship title. Audi Sport Italia/SMR driver Tomáš Kostka went into the event with a two-point championship lead over Nicola Baldan of the Roma Racing Team, while Solaris Motorsport's Francesco Sini was also in contention, thirteen points in arrears of Kostka's lead. Kostka extended his lead by adding the pole position point to his tally, but after an eventful race, it was Sini who prevailed. Sini won the race with an extra point for fastest lap, while Kostka finished down in fourth place after contact with Sini's team-mate Giovanni Berton and Diego Romanini – breaking a halfshaft and causing a puncture respectively – which gave Sini the title by one point. Baldan had already been eliminated from contention after being involved in a first lap incident with Team BMW Dinamic team-mates Max Mugelli and Niccolò Mercatali.

Sini and Kostka shared the most wins during the season with three each, while Baldan only won once, at Mugello. Mercatali also won at Mugello, with the only other driver to win a race during the season being Eddie Cheever III, who won both races at the season opening round at Monza. Despite only competing at that event, Cheever was the winner of the Under-25 trophy by a single point from Jonathan Giacon. The teams' championship went to Audi Sport Italia/SMR, as Kostka was supported by four podium finishes for team-mates Davide Stancheris, Ermanno Dionisio and Emanuele Zonzini; they won the title by ten points ahead of Solaris Motorsport. Dionisio accrued the most points in the trophy for gentleman drivers, finishing 11 points clear of Leonardo Baccarelli, while the Speedy Trophy for most fastest laps went to Kostka, with 4.

title: Matthias T. J. Grimme

text:
Matthias T. J. Grimme (born 24. June 1953, in Hamburg, Germany), stage name , is a German author, publisher of sadomasochistic literature and magazines, a photographer and a rope artist in Japanese style bondage.

Life and work
After completing high school, Grimme studied nursing and social work. Afterward, he worked for about 15 years in various psychiatric institutions.

He worked as an organizer for the German men's movement and was a co-leader of men's groups. He published several books and stories about men and their relation to themselves.

Since 1989, he has been co-publisher of the biggest German SM magazine Schlagzeilen. He is author and editor of many articles about BDSM, fetishism, and bondage. He is well known as the author of Das SM-Handbuch (The SM Handbook) and Das Bondage-Handbuch (The Bondage Handbook), which are the German standard handbooks for BDSM practitioners. Grimme is also co-owner of the BDSM publishing house Charon-Verlag.

Grimme is one of the few internationally known German bondage riggers. He appeared in many German documentary television films (for example in 1994 in "Das soll Liebe sein" in the ARD series Unter deutschen Dächern), and he participated in several bondage productions (for example in a five-part bondage q=workshop by Charon-Verlag).

Starting in 2000, Grimme visited Tokyo several times, becoming only the second-ever westerner to do public bondage shows in Japan (East meets West, Department H, Loft plus One, Tokyo Jail, etc.). He met Japanese bondage riggers, including Eikichi Osada, Akechi Denki, Chiba Sensei, Randa Mai, Yukimura Haruki, Osada Steve, Kinoko Hajime, Kazami Ranki, Mira Kurumi and Yusuji Watanabe. Grimme's bondage style, the "Hamburg School of Bondage," is a mixture of what he has seen in Tokyo and his own inspiration.

Grimme was co-organizer of the first public SM parties in Germany, "Les Fleurs du Mal" (until 1998). Since 1999, he has been co-organizer of the "Respekt!" parties in Hamburg. He works as a BDSM performer and as an SM and bondage teacher, running his own workshops in Germany and abroad. Since 2000, he has been producing photographs and films for his "Bondage Project". Together with his bondage partner Nicole he creates "rope art". Since 2012, he has been spokesperson of the BVSM (Bundesvereinigung Sadomasochismus, National Association of Sadomasochism). Until 2013, he operated the piercing and branding studio "Stahl Stich/Kiss of Fire" together with Andrea Grimme.

Grimme has been married to Andrea Grimme since 1999. He lives in Hamburg. Since 2000, he has worked together with his bondage partner and model Nicole (stage name Ropecat) in performances and workshops.

During BoundCon 2017, Grimme received a Lifetime Achievement Award for special merits in the bondage scene and for his lifework.
