title: Lobelia hypoleuca

text:
Lobelia hypoleuca, common names kuhiʻaikamoʻowahie, 'ōpelu, liua, or mo'owahie, is one of several species in the genus Lobelia endemic to Hawaii though cultivated elsewhere. It is found in nature on the islands of Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi, Maui and Hawaiʻi.

Lobelia hypoleuca is a shrub that can attain a height of 3.3 m (11 feet). Stems are woody, whitish, with a rough texture. Leaves are narrowly lanceolate with teeth along the margins, up to 60 cm (2 feet) long, green and shiny above, but appearing white on the underside due to a dense covering of fine wooly hairs (hence the epithet "hypoleuca" meaning "white below"). The plant produces 3-7 tall flowering stalks, each up to 40 cm (16 inches)long. Flowers are blue.

Raymond L. Ocampo, Jr. (born February 10, 1953) is a retired Filipino-American luger. He represented the Philippines at the 1988 Winter Olympics. He participated at the Winter Olympics' men's singles event where he ranked 35 out of 38 overall. His Winter Olympic stint was almost put in jeopardy due to some issues with the kind of passport he should be holding to represent the Philippines at the Olympics. The Philippine Olympic Committee eventually allowed him to compete under the Philippine flag without a Philippine passport despite previously requiring Ocampo the said type of passport. Ocampo previously insisted that under the rules by the IOC that he as a Filipino-American dual citizen is eligible to represent the Philippines as he did not compete for another country as a luger prior to the Olympics.   Ocampo first competed at the 1986 Empire State Games. Ocampo is also a lawyer.

Ocampo was designated as honorary captain of the national luge team of the United States at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

Ocampo is the current President and CEO of Samurai Surfer LLC, a  private consulting and investment company.

title: Stuart Harris (public servant and academic)

text:
Stuart Francis Harris  (born 14 March 1931) is a retired Australian senior public servant and academic. He was born in London, England.

Early life
Harris grew up in London, attending Tottenham Grammar School. In 1947, at age 16, he moved to Australia under the auspices of the Big Brother Movement, a scheme to facilitate young Britons to move to Australia and work on the land. After some time working on farms, Harris took a job at the Sydney Branch of the Commonwealth Taxation Department and enrolled in evening classes in economics at the University of Sydney, eventually winning a government scholarship to complete his honours year, achieving his degree in 1956.

Career
After completing his honours degree, Harris transferred to Canberra, initially with the Taxation Department, before moving to the Department of Trade, where he began working closely with (later Sir) John Crawford, who facilitated his gaining a Public Service Fellowship at the Australian National University which enabled Harris to undertake a PhD.

In 1962 Harris joined the then Bureau of Agricultural Economics (BAE), now the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES), initially as the senior economist. Taking leave from the BAE in 1967-68, Harris worked with the Colombian government on land reform as part of the Harvard Advisory Service mission there. He returned to Australia in mid-1968 to take up the position of Director, BAE, where he was considered to have “contributed to the development of a more professional approach to policy analysis in the BAE.” He also initiated the annual Agricultural Outlook Conference, which continues to this day.

Between 1972 and 1975 Harris was a Deputy Secretary of the Department of Overseas Trade. During his time in the public service, Harris contributed to a number of major government inquiries, such as The Committee of Economic Enquiry (Vernon Report, 1965). In 1974 he led the working group that produced the report on The Principles of Rural Policy in Australia in 1974 which attracted attention from the academic and policy community at the time. In the following year, Harris chaired the Task Force on Economic Policy, which published the report The Processes of Economic Policy Making in Australia (as part of the Royal Commission on Australian Government).. The Task Force also included noted economists Ian Castles and Robert Gregory as members.

In 1975, Harris moved to the Australian National University where he was appointed to the Chair of Resource Economics in the Centre for Resource and Environmental Studies (CRES, later renamed the Fenner School of Environment and Society). He took on the position of Director of the Centre from 1982 to 1984.

Harris was appointed secretary of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) in September 1984 .  In 1986, he published a major report on the role of the DFA in his Review of Australia's Overseas Representation. Harris then oversaw the transition in administrative arrangements in which the Department of Foreign Affairs was reorganised and the expanded Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade was established. Harris retired as secretary of the department in 1988.

After leaving the public service, Harris returned to academic life at the ANU, as Professor of International Relations, specialising in Northeast Asia, particularly China. In 1989, Harris was one of the three chairs appointed to lead the Ecologically Sustainable Development Process, commissioned by the Hawke Government. Based on extensive consultation the chairs presented 9 sectoral papers in 1991 and two further reports on intersectoral issues and greenhouse in 1992.

Since his retirement in 1996, Harris has continued research on China's foreign policy and global relationships as an Emeritus Professor at the Australian National University.

Awards
Harris was made a Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia in 1982. In the 1989 Birthday Honours Harris was made an Officer of the Order of Australia in recognition of distinguished public service.  In 2000, Harris was made a Distinguished Fellow of the Australasian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society. Harris was awarded an honorary D.Litt by Murdoch University in 2013.

title: Derrick Capper

text:
Sir William Derrick Capper  (3 January 1912 – 21 March 1977) was an English police officer and the first Chief Constable of West Midlands Police.

Early life and education

Derrick Capper (as he preferred to continue being known after knighthood) was born in Shropshire on 3 January 1912, son of John Herman Capper, a farmer, of Downton Farm, Upton Magna near Shrewsbury. He was educated at the Priory Grammar School for Boys, Shrewsbury in Shrewsbury and the University of Birmingham, where he read mathematics.

Career

Capper became disillusioned with university life and, during time of the 1930s depression, decided on a police career. He studied at Hendon Police College between 1937 and 1939, following which he joined the Metropolitan Police, as a Police Constable, serving into the years of World War II in London's East End. Apart from an interval detached as an Assistant Superintendent with the Nigerian Police from 1944 to 1946, the first half of his career was spent in the 'Met', during which time he was Station Inspector (1946–49), Chief Inspector (1949-51), Superintendent (1951–57), ultimately Chief Superintendent (1957–58).

He moved to Birmingham when appointed Assistant Chief Constable of Birmingham City Police in January 1959. In May that year he was promoted Deputy Chief Constable and later appointed as the Chief Constable in 1963. When interviewed about his new role, Capper stated that although fighting crime was a priority, he also had an interest in road traffic and vowed to tackle challenges in this area of policing.

Capper was involved in the Battle of Saltley Gate in 1972, a confrontation between police and picketing miners in the Saltley area of Birmingham during the UK miners' strike.

Capper continued his role as Chief Constable upon the creation of the West Midlands Police on 1 April 1974 after the introduction of the Local Government Act 1972.

During his service, Capper was also made the president of the Association of Chief Police Officers. He remained at West Midlands Police until his retirement on 30 June 1975. He was succeeded by Philip Knights

Death
After two operations, Capper died at Shrewsbury Nuffield Nursing Home on 21 March 1977, and was cremated.

Honours and awards
Capper was made a Knight Bachelor in the 1968 Birthday Honours. He was also made an Officer of the Order of St John in 1965 and later promoted to Commander in 1974. He was awarded the Queens Police Medal in 1962.

Personal life

Capper married in 1939 Muriel, daughter of Alfred Woodhouse of Shrewsbury. The couple had two daughters.

In 1973 he stood  tall "in policeman's boots".

Capper was a member of the Freemasons, and keen player of golf, rugby football and athletics sports. In 1976 he became the first deputy-chairman of the West Midlands Council for Sport and Recreation and at the time of his death he was president of the Shrewsbury Rugby Football Club.

Following his retirement from the police service he lived in Shrewsbury at 18 Sandiway, Radbrook.

The Royal Commission into Trade Union Governance and Corruption was a Royal Commission established by the Government of Australia to inquire into alleged financial irregularities associated with the affairs of trade unions. The Australian Workers Union, Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union, Electrical Trades Union, Health Services Union and the Transport Workers Union were named in the terms of reference. The Royal Commission inquired into the activities relating to slush funds and other similar funds and entities established by, or related to, the affairs of these organisations.

The Prime Minister Tony Abbott announced the Royal Commission on 10 February 2014 and nominated that the Commission be overseen by a sole Royal Commissioner, Dyson Heydon, a former High Court judge. Letters Patent were issued on 13 March 2014. The commissioner submitted an Interim Report in December 2014, which found cases of "wilful defiance of the law" and recommended criminal charges against certain unionists. Allegations of illegality against nine unions had been uncovered, with over 50 potential breaches of criminal and civil law identified.

Following an extension, the Commissioner presented his final report to the Governor-General in December 2015, finding "widespread and deep-seated" misconduct by union officials in Australia. More than 40 people and organisations were referred to authorities, including police, Directors of Public Prosecutions, the Australian Securities & Investments Commission and the Fair Work Commission, and a recommendation for the establishment of an independent body to investigate union records and finances was made.

The only conviction of a union official from the process was a CFMEU staff member, sentenced to a $500 good behaviour bond after he accidentally disposed of documents that could have been requested by the commission. The documents were later found to be irrelevant to the commission. Five union officials had charges dropped or were found not guilty.

The Australian Council of Trade Unions labelled the Royal Commission as a politicised stitch-up intended solely to advance the Union busting ideological & partisan agenda of the Liberal Party of Australia. The Australian Labor Party through their employment spokesman, Brendan O’Connor labelled the Royal Commission as modern-day McCarthyism and an outrageous intrusion into the personal affairs of Union members. Dyson Heydon, an avowed conservative was also revealed to have been directly involved with the Liberal Party and made highly partisan attacks on Labor prior to being appointed as the Commissioner. This led to questions over his impartiality, and a rejected application to recuse himself. Heydon was later found by an independent Commonwealth investigation to have sexually harassed six women. He resigned in disgrace from the Order of Australia, with the Chief Justice of Australia Susan Kiefel apologising to the women on behalf of the High Court of Australia.

Establishment of the Commission

Background

In 2013 the Fair Work Commission commenced initial inquiries into allegations of improper union financial conduct, and the Opposition Liberal-National Coalition promised a judicial inquiry into the AWU affair, which involved allegations of misappropriation of funds by officials of the Australian Workers' Union. Craig Thomson, a Federal Labor MP, and Michael Williamson, a former President of the Labor Party, were facing fraud allegations in relation to their financial dealings as officials of the Health Services Union (both men were later convicted of fraud).

In December 2013, the Fairfax press reported that the newly elected Abbott government would call a Royal Commission into trade union slush funds, "less than a fortnight after a Fairfax Media investigation uncovered millions of dollars in a string of secret union slush funds. The series of Fairfax reports revealed the involvement of the NSW Right’s powerful Transport Workers Union in a $500,000 takeover of its own Queensland branch with the backing of the disgraced former HSU leader Michael Williamson. It also reported the possible unlawful misuse of union and parliamentary staff by senior union officials and Labor figures."

The Royal Commission into Trade Union Governance and Corruption was established on 13 March 2014 by Governor-General, Quentin Bryce. The Governor-General issued Letters Patent which formally appointed the Royal Commissioner, Dyson Heydon, and outlined the Terms of Reference for the inquiry.

The Letters Patent called for an investigation and recommendations with particular regard for the financial management of relevant entities and the adequacy of existing laws relating to the financial management of those entities and the accountability of their officers. It was also to investigate whether relevant entities are used for unlawful purpose; as well as the use of funds solicited in the name relevant entities. The Australian Workers' Union; Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union; Communications, Electrical, Electronic, Energy, Information, Postal, Plumbing and Allied Services Union of Australia; the Health Services Union; and the Transport Workers Union were nominated for investigation, but the Letters Patent permitted other entities facing "credible allegations" to be investigated.

On 30 October 2014, Governor-General Peter Cosgrove amended the Letters Patent to include an additional term of reference, and the reporting date was revised from 31 December 2014 to 31 December 2015. Dyson Heydon told the Royal Commission in April, 2015, that "A reading of the Interim Report will reveal that the progress of the Commission's investigations in 2014 was impeded by false testimony, delays in document production, document destruction or removal and reluctance to cooperate even on the part of persons hostile to alleged misconduct" and said that some witnesses feared for their safety.

Commissioner Heydon

Justice Dyson Heydon  served as a judge of the New South Wales Court of Appeal from 2000, and was appointed as a judge of the High Court of Australia in February 2003. He was appointed a Companion in the General Division of the Order of Australia in 2004. Justice Heydon is a former Rhodes Scholar, and holds a Master of Arts and Bachelor of Civil Law from Oxford University. He was admitted to the New South Wales Bar in 1973 and appointed Queen's Counsel in 1987. Aged 34, he was elected dean of the Sydney Law School and practised at the Bar from 1979 until his appointment to the Court of Appeal. Heydon has written a number of legal texts, including Cross on Evidence and The Restraint of Trade Doctrine (1971).

Bill Shorten appearance

In July 2015, Opposition Leader Bill Shorten of the Australian Labor Party, a former official of the AWU, was called to give evidence at the Royal Commission. Over two days of questioning, Counsel Assisting asked Shorten several times if he had had a conflict of interest in accepting, and not disclosing, large donations from employers while negotiating for the union on behalf of employees. Shorten said there was no conflict of interest. Shorten admitted to the commission that he had failed to declare a political donation of around $40,000 from a labour hire company in the lead up to the 2007 election campaign, and that invoices regarding the payments for services were not truthful. Shorten denied knowledge of alleged false invoicing, totalling more than $300,000, which had been sent to construction companies Thiess and John Holland.

During cross examination, Counsel Assisting said that Shorten was being "evasive". Heydon intervened to tell Shorten that some of his answers were "non-responsive", adding "If I can be frank about it, you have been criticised in the newspapers in the last few weeks and I think it’s generally believed that you have come here in the hope you will be able to rebut that criticism or a lot of it. I’m not very troubled about that, though I can understand that you are, and it’s legitimate for you to use this occasion to achieve your ends in that regard. What I’m concerned about more is your credibility as a witness … and perhaps your self-interest as a witness as well. It is in your interest to curb these, to some extent, extraneous answers." Following the hearing, Labor frontbencher Brendan O'Connor, brother of CFMEU national secretary Michael O'Connor, criticised Heydon's comments as "a remarkable interjection" and called the commission "a witch hunt."

Recusal application

During his term as Royal Commissioner, Heydon was invited to deliver the 6th Sir Garfield Barwick Address, a fundraising event organised by a Lawyers Branch and the Legal Policy Branch of the Liberal Party, on the assumption that the commission would have completed its inquiries. Heydon confirmed his availability to give the address. The Abbott government extended the term of the Royal Commission in October 2014, and when Heydon was reminded of the address in March 2015, he confirmed his ongoing interest.

Heydon later declared that he had "overlooked" the fact that the event was organised by the Liberal Party, and that he had been asked to give the address only if the Royal Commission had finished. Heydon said "I overlooked the connection between the person or persons organising the event and the Liberal Party which had been stated in the email of 10 April of 2014," and said "I also overlooked the fact my agreement to speak at that time had been conditional on the work of the commission being completed before that time."

On 14 April 2015, the NSW Bar Association announced that Heydon would deliver the 6th Annual Sir Garfield Barwick Address. Heydon was sent information about the event on 12 June 2015, with attachments declaring the event a Liberal Party fundraiser. Heydon stated that he did not read the attachments. It was later agreed that the Liberal Party would not be mentioned on advertisements in public Bar Association publications. On 13 August, journalists obtained flyers for the event, announcing that it was a Liberal Party fundraiser.

Heydon's assistant confirmed on 13 August at 9:23 am that Heydon would attend, saying "He does not wish to answer any questions after his address. If there is any possibility that the event could be described as a Liberal Party event he will be unable to give the address, at least whilst he is in the position of the Royal Commissioner." Fairfax Media reported that they contacted the commissioner's office at 9:35 am. A spokesman for Heydon said that he made a decision not to attend the fundraiser, but this was before being contacted by the media about the Liberal Party flyers. Heydon adjourned the royal commission when the invitation came to public light, saying "Another problem has arisen that I need to attend to."

There were calls later that day from Labor parliamentarians for Heydon to withdraw from the Royal Commissioner role on the ground of an appearance of bias, reiterating earlier allegations of the political intent of the commission, while Prime Minister Tony Abbott defended Heydon's role and the justification for the Royal Commission. Abbott said that "Someone who knows [Heydon] very well and who's no great friend of this government Julian Burnside QC, has said this morning that he's a man of honour". Burnside said: "Heydon is an honourable man. I give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he is honourable enough to step down."

On 17 August 2015, the Sydney Morning Herald reported that Heydon was on the panel that awarded Tony Abbott his Rhodes scholarship. On 19 August, it was reported that Heydon had said in a June 2013 panel discussion at the Centre for Independent Studies that Kevin Rudd's government had a tendency to "do non-substantive things". Former Labor Minister Graham Richardson wrote in The Australian that the comments were "partisan". In a press release, the Law Council criticised public attacks on Heydon,  stating: "The public attacks on the commissioner being played out through the media are unacceptable and damage the basis on which tribunals and courts operate... In this case, Mr John Dyson Heydon AC QC is a highly regarded former judicial officer."

On 21 August, the ACTU, AWU and CFMEU all made applications in the Commission for Heydon to step down on  the  ground  of  "apprehended  bias".

On 31 August, Heydon dismissed the applications for him to stand down, publishing his reasons on the royal commission's website. In a 209-paragraph ruling, Heydon rejected all of the contentions in detail.  As to the suggestion that anything in his acceptance of the invitation to deliver the Sir Garfield Barwick Lecture gave rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias, he said (para. 87):  "The mere fact that a person agrees to deliver a speech at a particular forum does not rationally establish that the person is sympathetic to, or endorses the views of, the organiser of that forum."

Counsel assisting

Senior counsel assisting the commission are: Jeremy Stoljar SC, whose areas of practice include commercial law, corporations law (including corporate governance), property and building and construction; Sarah McNaughton SC, whose areas of practice include criminal law (including complex tax fraud and corporate fraud), disciplinary proceedings and inquests.

Other counsel assisting the commission are: Richard Scruby, who practices in a variety of jurisdictions, with the main areas of practice including equity and commercial law, corporations law, mining law and building and construction; Michael Elliott, whose practice areas include commercial, corporate officers' duties and liabilities, building and construction, insurance and professional negligence and has appeared as counsel at various commissions; and Thomas Prince, who was admitted to the New South Wales Bar in 2012.

Powers

The powers of Royal Commissions in Australia are set out in the enabling legislation, the . Royal Commissions, appointed pursuant to the Royal Commissions Act or otherwise, have powers to issue a summons to a person to appear before the Commission at a hearing to give evidence or to produce documents specified in the summons; require witnesses to take an oath or give an affirmation; and require a person to deliver documents to the Commission at a specified place and time. A person served with a summons or a notice to produce documents must comply with that requirement, or face prosecution for an offence. The penalty for conviction upon such an offence is a fine of  or six months imprisonment. A Royal Commission may authorise the Australian Federal Police to execute search warrants.

Procedures and methods

Hearings

Commissioner Heydon heard opening statements at the Royal Commission on 7 July 2014. By year's end, the Trade Union Royal Commission held more than 70 public and private hearings, which involved 239 witnesses. The hearings were conducted in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane. 687 Notices to Produce and releasing Issues Papers on governance and protections were issued. The Royal Commission continues its Public Hearings in 2015.

Reports

 Interim Report

Commissioner Heydon handed his Interim Report to Governor General Peter Cosgrove on 15 December, and it was tabled in Parliament on 19 December 2014. Commissioner Heydon's 1817 page Report found that the Construction Union acts in "wilful defiance of the law", and he recommended criminal charges of blackmail be considered against John Setka, the state secretary of the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU), along with his assistant Shaun Reardon and a number of other senior CFMEU officials. Activities cited by CFMEU officials included death threats, extortion, gross neglect, and other "serious criminal matters".

Upon release of the Interim Report, The Age reported that: "Justice Heydon identified key concerns about the use and operation of union election slush funds. They include that they operate largely in secret, have deficient or non-existent record-keeping and that candidates commonly plead ignorance on how money is raised and spent. The report also recommended fraud charges be considered against former Australian Workers' Union officials Bruce Wilson and Ralph Blewitt for their use of a secret slush fund in the 1990s. Mr Wilson was the ex-boyfriend of former prime minister Julia Gillard. Justice Heydon said there were no grounds for prosecuting Ms Gillard, but agreed with counsel assisting Jeremy Stoljar's submission, that her conduct as a solicitor had been "questionable". Ms Gillard had done legal work setting up the slush fund for Mr Wilson and Mr Blewitt. The report recommended seven past and present Health Services Union officials should be considered for charges for their role in an alleged right of entry scam... .

Results of hearings and recommendations

In August 2015, The Australian reported that 30 individuals had been referred to 11 agencies for possible charges, and that 11 people had been referred to Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and ten people to state DPPs. Four arrests had already been made by police, and allegations of illegality against nine unions had been uncovered, with over 50 potential breaches of criminal and civil law identified.

Following July/August 2015 hearings in Canberra, it was reported that the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) began investigating allegations emerging from the Royal Commission that union actions resulted in price fixing in the concrete and formwork trades. The media reported that "Allegations of intimidation, blackmail, standover tactics and threats" were uncovered and two arrests of union officials for alleged blackmail offences were made following their testimony.

As of March 2016, only one conviction has been attained, while five other union officials have either had their charges dropped, or were found not guilty. The sole conviction was a staff member of a state union who had disposed of documents during an office clean-up that "could" at some point been requested by the commission. The staffer was given a short suspended jail sentence and a $500 good behaviour bond with the judge finding that none of the documents were relevant to the Royal Commission or involved any corrupt acts.

Final Report

Commissioner Heydon found that corruption was widespread and deep-seated, and recommended a new national regulator with the same powers as the Australian Securities and Investments Commission be established  to combat corruption in the trade union movement. The Report highlighted insufficient record keeping (including false invoicing and destruction of documents);  "rubber stamp" committees which failed to enforce rules; payment of large sums by employers to unions; and influence peddling by means of the inflation of union membership figures. The Report recommended a toughening of financial disclosure rules, new civil penalties to bind workers and officials on financial disclosure provisions; a new criminal offence. Frank Bongiorno, Professor of History at the Australian National University, has described this report as having "all the impact of last year’s telephone book being dumped in a wheelie-bin."

Government Commissions

Establishment
In 2017 the Turnbull government established both the Australian Building and Construction Commission to "ensure that building work is carried out fairly, efficiently and productively", and the Registered Organisations Commission to "increase financial transparency and accountability in registered organisation". The bills establishing the statutory authorities were amongst the those cited by Malcolm Turnbull when he called a double dissolution election in 2016. The trigger bills were reintroduced to parliament after the election and all were passed with amendments.

Abolition & amendments
In December 2022 the Albanese government passed legislation abolishing the Australian Building and Construction Commission and the Registered Organisations Commission on 6 February 2023, transferring all of its regulatory authority functions to the General Manager of the Fair Work Commission by the 6th of June 2023. In addition to these abolitions, the legislation amended the Fair Work Act 2009 and other workplace relations laws relating to bargaining, job security, gender equality, compliance and enforcement, workplace conditions and protections.

title: Cristian Raducanu

text:
Cristian Raducanu (born Cristian Răducanu, names now also spelled Christian and Radacanu; born 2 September 1967) is a retired international rugby union player who represented Romania before his defection to the United Kingdom in 1989. He started seven international matches for the Romanian national team as well as being a replacement in four other of their internationals. Raducanu was described by Bill McLaren as a "world-class lineout exponent".

Early life and Romanian career
Cristian Raducanu was born on 2 October 1967 in Bucharest, Romania. He grew to be  tall, weighing , and played rugby as a  and Number 8. He played club rugby for Dynamo Bucharest and at his international debut for Romania on 7 December 1985 against Italy at L'Aquila, he became the youngest player ever to have played for the country. He was one of the youngest players to have started a match in the Rugby World Cup, competing at Number 8 against Zimbabwe at the age of 19 years 233 days in Auckland on 23 May 1987. , he still held the record as the youngest Number 8 to have started a Rugby World Cup match. His last international was in the 32-0 defeat to Scotland at Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh on 9 December 1989, at the tail-end of a brief shining for Romanian rugby. He later said that

Defection
Raducanu defected from Romania at the age of 22 while in Edinburgh, on the same day he played his last international. He says that he made a "spur-of-the-moment" decision, asking a passing policeman for political asylum after dodging team security to walk out of a post-match banquet. The policeman thought that he was drunk. His move came soon after that of his compatriot Nadia Comăneci, and less than a fortnight before the overthrow of Nicolae Ceaușescu in his home country. He soon obtained his release from the Romanian Rugby Federation (RRF), allowing him to play in competitions organised by the Scottish Rugby Union. RRF officials also announced around that time that they would not object to him playing again for his country, while Raducanu had lined up an opportunity to play for the Scottish Boroughmuir club.

Later accounts of Raducanu's defection suggested a more sensational sequence of events, for which the Glasgow Herald journalist Alaisdair Reid provided an analogy  According to these accounts, Raducanu's father was possibly a high-ranking member of the Romanian military who was aware of the imminent revolution and concerned about his son's safety in any turmoil that might result. He advised his son, then employed as a fire-fighter, to take advantage of the trip to Scotland. The accounts claim that British security services were aware of this plan. Rather than leaving the party at the banquet, the accounts say that the players of both countries had moved from there to the Tron Tavern, a nearby bar that was run by Norrie Rowan, himself then a Scottish international and Boroughmuir player. This was a customary change of venue and it was from the bar that Raducanu sought to evade members of the Securitate, who were guarding the entrances and exits. The bar was connected to the Edinburgh Vaults and with Rowan's assistance Raducanu was able to surface on the streets several hundred yards away from the premises and then find a policeman. Some of Raducanu's fellow players certainly did die during the revolution, including Florica Murariu and Radu Durbac.

Career in Britain
Advised by the Refugee Council, Raducanu initially kept a low profile in Scotland and was upset by reports that he had abandoned his wife and baby daughter in Romania, making it known that he was telephoning them daily. Rowan gave him work on a construction site, and he made his Boroughmuir debut on 20 January 1990, although it was unclear at that point whether he intended to stay in Scotland on a permanent basis. His wife and daughter were able to escape Romania soon after.

Raducanu later played rugby in England. He made four 1st XV appearances for Leeds in the 1998-1999 season and also played for Bradford & Bingley and Sale before moving to Sedgley Park in Manchester, where he was captain and held a club record, scoring tries in six consecutive matches. He also played in the County Championship-winning Yorkshire team.

He wound down his career from around the age of 35 after having had at least 14 operations on a troublesome knee, although he was still playing occasionally for Sedgley's 1st XV and for their 2nd XV as a 40-year-old in 2007. The Scotsman described him in 2002 as being "known universally as one of the most amiable and popular men in the sport".

Later life
Since 1996, Raducanu has owned a business importing, manufacturing and selling solid-wood furniture. That business involves dealings with his homeland and, in 2007, he worked with Whitgift School and the Romanian Embassy in London to arrange a scholarship for a promising young rugby player from his home country.

It was built on the site of the former Theatre Royal, Wexford, which was demolished to facilitate the development, the need for a new opera house was a result of the success of the Wexford Festival Opera and the provision of a theatre, concert and conference venue in Wexford.

The Opera House consists of the 771 seat O'Reilly Theatre and the smaller Jerome Hynes Theatre, seating up to 176. It was designed and built by the architect Keith Williams Architects with the Office of Public Works.

The Opera House was used for 2014 Sinn Féin Ard Fheis.

The building was officially renamed as Ireland's National Opera House by the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, Heather Humphreys, at the opening of the 2014 Wexford Festival.

title: Cumulative extremism

text:
Cumulative extremism is a form of political extremism that occurs when one form of political extremism mobilises against another form of political extremism, which was coined by British scholar Roger Eatwell. Eatwell defines cumulative extremism as: 'the way in which one form of extremism can feed off and magnify other forms'. Dr Mohammed Ilyas defines cumulative extremism as 'a process through which different forms of ‘extremism’ interact and can potentially produce a spiral of violence'. The academic Matthew Goodwin gives the example of far-right political organisations mobilising in response to the perceived threat of Islamic extremism.

title: Philip Seymour Hoffman on screen and stage

text:
Philip Seymour Hoffman (1967–2014) was an American actor, director, and producer who made his screen debut on the police procedural Law & Order in 1991. He made his film debut later in the same year by appearing in a minor role in Triple Bogey on a Par Five Hole. Hoffman followed this with supporting roles as a student in Scent of a Woman (1992), and a storm chaser in Twister (1996) before his breakthrough role as a gay boom operator in Paul Thomas Anderson's drama Boogie Nights (1997), for which he received critical acclaim. In the same year, he appeared in the Revolutionary War documentary series Liberty! (1997). Two years later, he played a kind nurse in Anderson's Magnolia and an arrogant playboy in The Talented Mr. Ripley, for which he received the National Board of Review Award for Best Supporting Actor. Hoffman made his Broadway debut the following year with his lead role in True West which garnered him a nomination for the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play.

Hoffman received the Academy Award for Best Actor, BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role, and Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Drama for his portrayal of writer Truman Capote in the 2005 biographical film Capote. He followed this by playing a ruthless arms dealer in the action spy film Mission: Impossible III (2006) and CIA agent Gust Avrakotos in the Mike Nichols-directed Charlie Wilson's War (2007). Hoffman's performance as a priest suspected of child abuse in the period drama Doubt (2008) with Meryl Streep and Amy Adams  received critical acclaim and multiple award nominations in the Best Supporting Actor category. In the same year, he played a troubled theatre director in Charlie Kaufman's Synecdoche, New York.

In 2010, he made his directorial debut with the romantic comedy Jack Goes Boating, an adaptation of the 2007 play in which he had also starred. Two years later, he played a cult leader in Anderson's psychological drama The Master and Willy Loman in the play Death of a Salesman. For the former, Hoffman was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar, and for the latter he received a nomination for the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play. He died of an accidental mixed drug overdose on February 2, 2014, at the age of 46. In his New York Times obituary, he was described as "perhaps the most ambitious and widely admired American actor of his generation". Broadway theatres dimmed their lights for one minute in tribute.
