title: Riccardo Cervi

text:
Riccardo Cervi (born 19 June 1991) is an Italian professional basketball player who last played for Virtus Roma of the Italian Lega Basket Serie A (LBA).

Youth career
The Reggio Emilia native joined local side Pallacanestro Reggiana from Basket 2000 Scandiano in the summer of 2006, he was permanently transferred the next year.

Cervi was loaned to Stella Azzurra Roma in order to participate in the Nike International Junior Tournament, finishing with 8.3 points and 6.3 rebounds on average.

Professional career
Cervi made his professional debut in the Legadue in 2010, playing two minutes without statistics in his only game that season.
He signed his first professional contract, a five-year deal, with Reggio in November 2010, also being incorporated into the first squad that season.

In 2011-12 he contributed 4.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and a league best 2.2 blocks in 16.6 minutes per game, helping his side earn a promotion to the first division Serie A. For his prowess he was selected as the Legadue's best Italian player.
His contract with the side was renegotiated, while the length stayed the same, his salary was increased and an annual NBA escape clause inserted.

After having major knee surgery over the summer, Cervi had a difficult start in his first Serie A season whilst also struggling to change his shooting technique. He improved in the last months of the 2012-13 season and was one of the best Reggio players in the playoff series against Acea Roma.
After a slow start in 2013-14, he finished the season as a starter, contributing  9 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game in the closely fought playoff series against holders Montepaschi Siena.
The same season he posted 3.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.1 blocks (a tournament 4th best) in around 14 minutes per game in the European third tier 2013–14 EuroChallenge, including 7 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks in the final, to help Reggio Emilia win the title.

The EuroChallenge title gave Reggio Emilia the chance to play in the second tier 2014-15 Eurocup where Cervi posted 5.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.2 blocks as the side exited at the group stage.
He finished as the second best shot blocker of the 2014-15 Serie A with 1.8 per game.

In July 2015 he joined EA7 Emporio Armani Milano, signing a two-year deal with the EuroLeague-playing side.
However, only a few days after the announcement Milan decided to exercise a clause in his contract to release the player.
He then signed with another Serie A side, Sidigas Avellino on 29 July.

On 8 August 2020 Cervi signed for Virtus Roma.

After Virtus Roma's withdrawal from the Serie A due to financial problems, Cervi, like all the Roma players, was made free agent.

International career
Cervi played with the Italy Under-20 squad in the 2011 European Championship, posting 4.2 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.4 blocks as the side came home with a silver medal.

He was part of the Italy B squad that finished 5th at the 2013 Mediterranean Games.

Cervi would make his full international debut for Italy against Germany in July 2014.

At 2.16 m, Cervi is an intimidating presence in the paint, a rare characteristic for an Italian, as such he has regularly been called up to Italy squads.

He took part in the successful qualification for EuroBasket 2015, with 3.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.8 blocks in 13 minutes per game.
The center was called to the preliminary squad for the competition in June 2015, but he did not make the final cut.

title: Thermal tails

text:
Thermal tails are an effect found in amplifiers, typically in op-amps, emitter-followers, and differential pairs. The effect is to cause a slow drift from ideal of the output of the amplifier from ideal over time. The cause is the mismatch of temperature of the different transistors on the substrate. Differential pairs have poor recovery from temperature mismatch.

The extent of the problem can be determined from the thermal conductivity of the substrate. The lower it is, the more of an issue this will be. It can also be caused by a non-shallow trench isolation.

When the power dissipation of a BJT changes the temperature changes. This causes a change in Vbe, thus affecting the output.

Thermal tails generally start on the output transistor as it is the one delivering the most power.

A thermal tail can be quantified by either loading the output stage of the amplifier or by conducting an AC frequency plot and looking for a rolloff not found due to parasitical components.

title: Sévérine

text:
Sévérine is a fictional character who appears in the 23rd James Bond film Skyfall (2012). Played by Bérénice Marlohe, Sévérine is a former sex slave who works as an accomplice of Raoul Silva (Javier Bardem). She collaborates with James Bond (Daniel Craig) to stop her boss, but is captured and killed by Silva.

Marlohe had secured the role after two auditions for director Sam Mendes and casting director Debbie McWilliams. She looked to Xenia Onatopp, the female villain of the 1995 Bond film GoldenEye, as a point of inspiration for her performance. Distancing herself from the Bond girl title, she interpreted the character as more modern and realistic. Costume designer Jany Temime designed Sévérine's wardrobe using concepts from film noir as well as contemporary fashion, with close attention paid to the black dress she wears when meeting Bond in a Macau casino.

Following Sévérine's first appearances in promotional materials for Skyfall, film critics noted that the character was a return to the classic elements of the James Bond films, specifically Bond meeting a beautiful and mysterious woman. Critics had a mixed response to Sévérine when compared to previous Bond girls. Reception to Bond's treatment of Sévérine was largely negative; commentators panned Bond's seduction of the character after discovering that she was a former sex slave, and his cold response to her death. However, some critics defended Sévérine's story arc as appropriate for Bond's character development. The character has also been a topic of racial analysis.

Arc
Sévérine (Bérénice Marlohe) first encounters James Bond (Daniel Craig) while on an assignment in Shanghai. She leads an art dealer to a large window to position his assassination by the mercenary Patrice (Ola Rapace). After the dealer is killed, Bond confronts Patrice about his employer, but does not receive an answer before the assassin falls to his death. Sévérine and Bond exchange a glance, and Bond takes the payment intended for Patrice, a token for a casino in Macau.

Sévérine greets Bond on his arrival at the casino. They share a drink at the bar, and Bond presses her for more information about her boss Raoul Silva (Javier Bardem). Identifying her wrist tattoo as the mark of the Macau sex trade, Bond deduces that she was once a sex slave and was taken in by Silva to work as his representative under the guise of being "rescued". Promising to help her escape from Silva and to kill him, Bond asks for Sévérine to arrange a meeting with her boss. She trusts him and warns him about her guards' intentions to kill him by throwing him into a pit with komodo dragons. She tells Bond that if he survives, he can find her on her yacht, the Chimera.

Bond dispatches Sévérine's guards and sneaks aboard her boat. After he joins her in the shower, the two have sex. While approaching Silva's base on an abandoned island, a frightened Sévérine tells Bond that it is not too late to retreat. However, they are taken prisoner by the guards and escorted through a crumbling city on the island. Sévérine is separated from Bond, and Silva's men beat her as punishment for her betrayal. Silva interrogates Bond and takes him to a courtyard, where Sévérine is bound to a statue. Setting a shot glass of Scotch whisky on her head, Silva challenges Bond to a game of William Tell. Bond takes the first turn, missing both the target and Sévérine; Silva then shoots her in the head, killing her.

Development

Casting and characterization

Sévérine is portrayed by French actress Bérénice Marlohe. After hearing about a casting call for Skyfall in Paris, Marlohe contacted the movie's director Sam Mendes through Facebook, and emailed her acting reel to the casting director Debbie McWilliams. Six months prior to her Bond audition, Marlohe stated that she had a dream about acting alongside Javier Bardem, and interpreted it as a positive sign that she would get the part. She auditioned twice for the role, first for McWilliams and then for Mendes. Marlohe was one of several French actresses to play a Bond girl. British actress Gemma Chan also auditioned for the part. Following the film's release, Marlohe identified the role as a transition in her career as it led to further acting opportunities, and her decision to hire a Hollywood talent agent.

A fan of James Bond films, Marlohe said that "you can feel a lot of freedom in creation [of a character] because it is a world between reality and imagination". She was more intrigued by the Bond villains, particularly Grace Jones' performance as May Day in the 1985 film A View to a Kill. Marlohe also cited Xenia Onatopp in the 1995 film GoldenEye as her favorite Bond girl, and said she was inspired by Famke Janssen for her approach to Sévérine. When asked about her preference for antagonists, Marlohe responded that she preferred parts that have "elements of whimsy and madness to them". Outside of the James Bond series, she found inspiration for her portrayal of the character's psychological instability from Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker in the 2008 film The Dark Knight.

Marlohe based her performance as Sévérine around the mythological chimera, choosing to emphasize a sense of "dangerousness spreading through [the character]". When asked to define the traits of a Bond girl, she described the role as "a powerful woman with a kind of male charisma and male power" and a "bit of animality". During promotional interviews, Marlohe advocated for the removal of the title of Bond girl, explaining that she aimed to imagine the character as more modern and realistic; she described the Bond girl as "a beautiful concept but it's a concept, and I wanted to create a real human being".

Fashion
While creating Sévérine's wardrobe, costume designer Jany Temime aimed to maintain a sense of mystery around the character. She combined film noir designs with contemporary fashion, such as selecting a shift dress from one of L'Wren Scott's 2012 collections for its 1940s silhouette. The designer identified Sévérine through her sexuality, and wanted to showcase the character as "sexy and exceptional and dark" by having her appear as naked as possible.

The backless evening gown that Sévérine wears when she first meets Bond was created from black satin and decorated with 60,000 Swarovski crystals. The crystals were applied to tulle in a tattoo design that was inspired by prints from Swarovski's Paris atelier; they appear on the neckline, arms, back, and the sides of the garment. The dress took six months to complete. Temime designed it based on Rita Hayworth's black dress from the 1946 film Gilda. Designer Stephen Webster created the jewelry for the outfit by looking to modern Gothic style for inspiration. Marlohe said that she also had an influence on the final design of the dress.

It took a long time for Marlohe to get into the outfit with help from the film's crew; she was sewn into one part of it. Despite this, she said she felt comfortable in it. Six different versions of the body of the dress were created to accommodate the filming schedule; Marlohe changed twice a day during the production, and had to be sewn back into the dress each time. She felt that her character's wardrobe allowed her to better situate her performance, referencing the dress as her way of transforming into Sévérine. She interpreted it as resonating with a "feeling of power and the quality of being salvaged" and the long resin nails as showing "part of a dragon in [her character]". Since she had to wear the nails both on and off the set, she felt they helped her stay in character and explained that they "would feed [her] all the time with that feeling of being dangerous". Along with the evening gown, Sévérine also wore a red dress created by designer Donna Karan.

Critical reception
Sévérine was featured in the first preview video for Skyfall, which showed her initial encounter with Bond in the Macau casino. ScreenCrush'''s Mike Sampson described the preview as reminiscent of those of earlier James Bond films, where Bond introduces himself to an attractive woman. Sampson said the scene's conventional James Bond elements as well as Sévérine's character marked the promotion of Skyfall as a "return to old school Bond [...] with a slightly modern feel". The character and the black dress featured in one of the film's posters. In response to the character's absence from the trailer, Marlohe attributed the decision to keeping her character's storyline a surprise for viewers.

Some critics believed Sévérine fit the general characteristics of a Bond girl. In Moviepilot, Jack Carr cited the character as the franchise's representation of women as sex objects, writing that she will "inevitably wind up dead herself the morning after [...] in a cruel demonstration of instant karma". While reviewing the evolution of the Bond girl, Rothman identified Sévérine as following the trope of the damsel in distress, and Ian Dunt of Politics.co.uk found Bond's seduction of the character adhered to expectations for the franchise. However, Vanity Fair's Jim Windolf noted that unlike previous Bond girls, Sévérine's name was not constructed from a double entendre. John Boone of Entertainment Tonight wrote that she was not as fully realized as Vesper Lynd's role in the 2006 film Casino Royale, but felt she was a more promising character than Mary Goodnight from The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) and Octopussy from the 1983 film of the same name. In contrast, The New Dailys Susannah Guthrie dismissed Sévérine, along with Strawberry Fields and Camille Montes from Quantum of Solace (2008), as less memorable than previous Bond girls such as Goldfingers Pussy Galore and Dr. Nos Honey Ryder.

Feminist analysis
The story arc involving Bond's treatment of Sévérine has been criticized by media commentators. Bond's seduction of Sévérine after learning about her past as a child prostitute was cited by Bustle's Casey Cipriani as an example of the sexism prevalent throughout the Bond franchise. Echoing Cipriani's sentiment, Jeff Bercovici of Forbes found the sequence of Bond having sex with Sévérine and the character's death to be irresponsible portrayals of sex trafficking and violence, noting it is consistent with the "[s]exual hyper-aggressiveness and putting women in harm's way" often seen in Bond films. Skyfall was criticized for contributing to the false idea of "victims of sexual violence [being] sexually available" by National Sexual Violence Resource Center director Tracy Cox. Cox cited Bond as "abusing his power and authority" through his interactions with Sévérine. The Friskys Julie Gerstein argued that Bond's expectation that Sévérine would have sex with him in return for freeing her is a form of "transaction" that places her as a prisoner of both Bond and Silva. Psychoanalyst Heather Genoves also responded negatively to the sex scene, writing that it was "rather tacky to then put that into a sex-trafficking narrative". On the other hand, The Atlantics Noah Berlatsky found the conversation between Sévérine and Bond about her past as a sex slave to be the film's most successful scene, and praised the performances of both actors. However, Berlatsky was critical of Bond's subsequent seduction of the character.

Critical response to Sévérine's death sequence was also negative, specifically to Bond's comment following Sévérine's death—"Waste of good scotch". Jade Budowski of The Tribeca Film Institute described the scene as "unpalatable", and wrote that she "sense[d] it in the shifting of some of my neighbors in the theater," specifically after the delivery of Bond's line. She argued that the sequence returned to the franchise's earlier treatment of women as "expendable figures" viewing them only as "sex objects, eye candy, and plot devices". Berlatsky argued that Sévérine existed for the sole purpose of "lend[ing] weight to Craig's perspicuity, sexiness, and imperviousness". Paste's Kenneth Lowe found Bond's behavior toward women to be negative, citing Sévérine's death as a prominent example.

Some critics defended the scene as appropriate for Bond's character development. While HuffPost's Daniel Wood felt that the Sévérine was killed too early in the film, he associated her death with the removal of the "harmless chauvinism" starting from Casino Royale, and better represented Bond as an emotionally deficient character. Wood acknowledged that the portrayal of female characters as "commodities" was negative, but argued it suited Bond's characterization. James Peaty of Den of Geek! interpreted the moment as purposefully unexpected in order to show the audience "how out of sorts Bond has become and that perhaps the greatest threat he faces this time out is his own inertia and ineptitude" and shift the film's focus to M (Judi Dench).

 Racial analysis
Gender studies scholar Lisa Funnell was critical of Sévérine as a character, arguing she was marked as the Asian other. Due to the film's focus on her black evening gown, make-up, and nails, Funnell said Skyfall represents Sévérine as a Dragon Lady to establish an expectation she would be a larger part of the story. While addressing this set-up, she likened Sévérine to Aki and Kissy Suzuki, both from You Only Live Twice (1967) since they all adhere to the racial stereotype of the "tragic Lotus Blossom", a term that she defined as a "submissive and industrious figure who is eager to please the white male hero".Funnell (2015): p. 82. To support this assessment, she pointed to Sévérine's lack of agency or impact on Skyfall's main narrative, and summed up Sévérine as "one of the most disempowered, pitiful, and tragic women in the Bond film franchise". In comparison to her positive perception of Wai Lin in the 1997 film Tomorrow Never Dies'', Lisa Funnell dismissed Sévérine as based on outdated ideas.

title: Christopher Wren (priest)

text:
Christopher Wren B.D. (17 September 1589 – 29 May 1658) was an Anglican cleric who was Dean of Windsor from 1635 until his death, and the father of the prominent architect Christopher Wren.

Family
Christopher Wren Senior was the son of Francis Wren, a citizen and mercer of London, who served steward to Mary Queen of Scots during her captivity in England.

His mother was Suzanna Wiggington. His father was the only son of Cuthbert Wren, of Monk's-Kirby, in the county of Warwick, second son of William Wren, of Sherborne-House and of Billy-Hall in the bishopric of Durham. He was descended from an ancient family which came originally from Denmark. His parents lived in the parish of St Peter, Westcheap in the City of London, and had three children: a daughter Anna, and two sons; Matthew, born 1585, and Christopher, born 1589. His brother Matthew preceded him as Dean of Windsor.

Christopher Wren married Mary Cox. Their son was the famed architect Sir Christopher Wren.

Career
He was educated at Merchant Taylors School, London, and St John's College, Oxford and graduated BA in 1609, MA in 1613, BD in 1620. In 1630 he was created Doctor of Divinity at Peterhouse, Cambridge, where his brother Matthew was president.

He was appointed:
Chaplain to Bishop Lancelot Andrewes
Chaplain to King Charles I, 1628
Rector of Fonthill Bishop, Wiltshire, 1620
Rector of East Knoyle, Wiltshire, 1623
Registrar of the Order of the Garter, 1634
Dean of Wolverhampton, 1639
Rector of Great Haseley, Oxfordshire, 1639

He was appointed Dean of Windsor in 1635. When Parliamentary forces occupied Windsor Castle, he refused to give to Captain Fogg the keys of St George's Chapel.  On 23 October 1642 Fogg broke open the treasury and plundered it. Wren managed to preserve the records of the Order of the Garter, and King Edward III's sword.

Death
Christopher Wren died at Bletchingdon, Oxfordshire on 29 May 1658.

title: Susan Wray

text:
Susan C. Wray  is professor of cellular and molecular physiology at the University of Liverpool.  She also serves as the President of the International Union of Physiological Sciences (IUPS) and is  president of the Federation of European Physiological Societies (FEPS).  She was the founding  editor-in-chief of Physiological Reports.  and is the first editor-in-chief of Current Research in Physiology.  She serves as director of the centre of better births in Liverpool Women's Hospital which was opened in 2013 with funding of £2.5 million with the objective of basic scientists working together with clinicians on problems during pregnancy. Along with , she leads the Harris wellbeing preterm birth centre. Wray is the director of the University of Liverpool Athena SWAN and team leader for the institute of translational medicine. Her primary research interests are in smooth muscle physiology, reproductive medicine and cell signalling.

Education
After attending the local authority-run  Chadderton Grammar School for Girls, Wray received her Bachelor of Science degree in physiology and, in 1979, her PhD from University College London for research investigating gestational changes in the connective tissue of the uterus.

Career and research
After postdoctoral research at UCL she moved to the University of Liverpool in 1990 where she was promoted to professor in 1996 and served as head of the department of physiology from 2004 to 2008. Wray's early research focused on changes of connective tissue in the uterus during and after pregnancy.  She then helped develop spectroscopic methods to characterize metabolism in human neonates.  Since moving to Liverpool, she has focused on the relationship between metabolism and function in smooth muscle. In particular, she has elucidated the effects of pH on contractility.  In order to elucidate the underlying mechanisms, she performed some of the first measurements of intracellular calcium in smooth muscle. Subsequent work into the relationship between calcium and excitability led to new understanding of the origin of the refractory period in the ureter.  Her translational work has led to measurements of lactate to predict labour outcome and to the use of bicarbonate to increase the pH of the mother and thereby increase the strength of uterine contractions, reducing the requirement for caesarean sections.  She has also shown that problems of labour experienced by obese mothers can be explained by impaired smooth muscle contractility.  In 2015, she demonstrated a novel mechanism whereby repetitive, transient episodes of hypoxia increase uterine contractions during labour.  Her work has also investigated the use of  plant-derived cyclotides as well as modifications to the natural hormone oxytocin to serve as templates for novel compounds to accelerate labor. Some of her research can be seen in a video of one of her lectures.

Women in Science
Wray has been engaged with gender equality and mentoring throughout her career. She is an academic champion for the Higher Education Foundation AURORA Women in Leadership Scheme.  She gave the inaugural Athena Swan Lecture at Edge Hill University in 2016.   She also worked on the SUSTAIN initiative for women in science.  With Tilli Tansey she co-edited the book Women physiologists: centenary celebrations and beyond for The Physiological Society which includes forewords by Julia Higgins and Susan Greenfield.  This book has been used as a source to encourage the writing of more Wikipedia articles about women physiologists.  Wikipedia:Meetup/UK/University of Manchester Women in Physiology, October 2019

Awards and honours
Wray was elected a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences (FMedSci) in 2002, an honorary fellow of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (FRCOG) in 2006 and a member of the Academia Europaea (MAE) in 2008. She was awarded the Joan Mott Prize Lecture by The Physiological Society in 2006 and elected as an honorary member of the Physiological Society in 2015. In 2012 she was nominated a knowledge hero by the Liverpool Echo'.

title: 2012 United States Virgin Islands hemp referendum

text:
A referendum on the use of industrial hemp was held in the United States Virgin Islands on 6 November 2012, alongside general elections. The proposal was approved by 57% of voters.

Background
On 21 August 2012 the Legislature of the Virgin Islands voted by 10–4 to pass a law on the use of industrial hemp (hemp with a low tetrahydrocannabinol content). Governor John de Jongh signed it into law on 11 September 2012.

Results

The unusually high number of blank votes was caused by the question being on the same ballot paper as the simultaneous general elections.

title: Andreas Englund

text:
Andreas Englund (born 21 January 1996) is a Swedish professional ice hockey defenceman who is currently playing for the Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League (NHL). Englund was selected by the Ottawa Senators in the second round (40th overall) of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career
Englund made his professional debut in the 2013–14 season, with his youth club Djurgårdens IF of the then HockeyAllsvenskan. Following the club's promotion Englund made his Swedish Hockey League (SHL) during the 2014–15 season, appearing in 49 games for five points in his rookie campaign.

After two full seasons in the SHL marking 95 appearances, Englund left Sweden to pursue his NHL ambitions by signing a three-year, entry-level contract with the Ottawa Senators on 5 April 2016. On 3 December 2016, Englund made his NHL debut with the Senators in a 2–0 victory over the Florida Panthers.

As an impending restricted free agent with the Senators, and facing a delayed  North American season, Englund opted to remain in Sweden by agreeing to a season long contract with Västerviks IK of the HockeyAllsvenskan on 20 September 2020. Through injury, Englund did not feature with the club, and he sat out the season in its entirety.

With the rights relinquished by the Senators after not receiving a qualifying offer, Englund opted to resume his professional career in North America, agreeing to a one-year AHL contract with the Colorado Eagles, the primary affiliate to the Colorado Avalanche on 28 July 2021. In the 2021–22 season, Englund re-established his career by featuring in a regular role on the Eagles blueline as a defensive defenceman. He registered two goals and 12 points through 57 games to help the Eagles reach the playoffs.

As a free agent, Englund was signed to continue within the Avalanche organization by signing a one-year, two-way NHL contract on 13 July 2022. He was returned to the Eagles following training camp to begin the  season. He featured in 12 games with the Eagles before he was recalled to the NHL by the Avalanche due to a rash of injuries on 13 November 2022. He made his debut with the Avalanche the following day, marking his first NHL game in over two years, by featuring in a third-pairing role in a 3–2 defeat by the St. Louis Blues. With the Avalanche blighted through continual injuries, Englund remained with the club and solidified a role as a defensive defenceman within the blueline and contributed with three assists through 36 games.

On 26 February 2023, approaching the trade deadline, Englund was dealt to the rebuilding Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for the return of Jack Johnson to the Avalanche. Englund played out the remainder of the season with the rebuilding Blackhawks, registering 1 assist through 11 games.

As a free agent in the off-season, Englund was signed to a two-year, $2 million contract with the Los Angeles Kings on 1 July 2023.

title: Largo Winch II

text:
Largo Winch II (released internationally as The Burma Conspiracy) is a 2011 French action thriller film based on the Belgian comic book Largo Winch. It was released in France and Belgium on 16 February 2011. It is the sequel to the 2008 film Largo Winch.

Plot

Three years before his death, Nerio Winch, while driving from a business meeting in Hong Kong, informs Freddy, his bodyguard, that he found his son, Largo, in a village in Burma, and orders Freddy to tail him. Meanwhile, Largo has just saved a group of villagers from a massacre caused by a Junta local militia, led by General Min. While healing the locals on a secluded spot with his lover, Malunai, a French man named Simon Ovronnaz arrives in the village along with several survivors he picked up with his vehicle. However, when he informs them that he was employed by a man who worked for Min, the locals, led by Kadjang, severely beat him up. However, Largo intervenes and accidentally wounds Kadjang with his own blade, and he is banished from the village, and Malunai denounces him. Largo leaves with Simon and they leave Burma, Largo going elsewhere, while Simon heads for Bangkok.

In the present day, Largo, after gaining leadership of the W Group, announces that he is selling his entire company and all of its shares, and that he will donate all of the money of the shares to charity. He enlists the help of Alexandre Jung, his father's partner and childhood friend (and one of the few who knew of Largo's existence), also a former director of the Red Cross, and W Group's current director, Dwight Cochrane. However, as he is signing the papers on Nerio's yacht, Neretva, a Hong Kong Police unit, led by UN investigator Diane Francken, arrives, holding charges of crimes against humanity against Largo for cooperation for the massacre in Burma, since General Min was paid from Nerio's secret account called Pandora. While searching Largo's yacht, they also find Freddy strangled in his room. Largo realizes that, since Freddy was tailing him in Burma during the massacre and knew of his innocence, he was murdered.

As Francken publicly announces that she has a witness against Largo, he finds a phone number of a private bank in Switzerland and calls it, and he is given the information about the Pandora account and that it contains 68 million dollars. Holding this a secret, he, against the objections of his lawyers and Cochrane, books the flight to Bangkok to personally meet with Francken to meet the witness. He also instructs his personal butler, Gauthier, to go with him to Bangkok and to locate Simon, since he worked for General Min's associate. When they arrive in Bangkok, Gauthier leaves to find Simon while Largo goes to the UN embassy. Upon arriving, Largo is shocked to discover that the witness is Malunai, who falsely testifies against Largo for being involved in the massacre, and Francken also reports to him that General Min was paid from a secret account that Nerio owned, called Pandora. Largo violently objects to the accusations and strikes Malunai, and he is detained by Francken. However, The Thai government drops his charges and sets him free, and he is picked up by Cochrane. However, after getting his personal items back, he finds a "Sorry" note given to him by Malunai. He also finds out that she was deported back to Burma. Against Cochrane's protests, Largo leaves. Francken, angry for the deportation of Malunai and Largo's acquittal, finds out that Largo has contacted the private bank and goes to Zurich.

Largo arrives in Burma, where the local militia awaits him to transport him to General Min. However, en route, the jeep transporting Largo is attacked by the local resistance movement led by Kadjang, who is seeking revenge against Largo. However, Largo tells him his story and convinces him to join sides with him. They head to General Min's base, with Kudjang and his men disguised as soldiers, and Kudjang's men detonate several gas tanks, creating a diversion, while Largo releases the prisoners, and also Malunai herself, who reveals that Min forced her to falsely testify with the threat that they will kill her son. They head to General Min's hut, only to find him with Malunai's son, Noom. Min reveals that, while he was paid half in advance to massacre the village, he never got the rest of the money, and orders Largo to make a 25 million$ to Min's account. Largo obeys, but as he completes the transfer, he attacks Min and takes Noom and Malunai, and they escape by boat.

Meanwhile, Francken, who ordered the executives of the bank to record their calls, finds out about Largo's call to transfer the money to Min. Seeing this as evidence, she publicly announces this, causing W Group's shares to massively drop. Cochrane, much to his dismay, finds out that the W Group will be bought by a Russian industrialist called Nazatchov, who is at odds with Largo since he once attacked him during a business meeting. Since the prices were lowered, Nazatchov now has enough money to buy the group and already pays 5 billion dollars in advance. In Burma, Largo and Malunai arrive at a local hotel, where they rekindle their romance, and she reveals to Largo that Noom is his son, having impregnated her before he left. Largo contacts Gauthier, who has found Simon, and instructs him to arrive at the hotel. Meanwhile, General Min, who escaped the base, arrives at a rendezvous point where he is picked up via helicopter by a Serbian mercenary called Lazarevic, who informs him that he is not on Min's payroll, but actually is working for someone else, and strangles Min to death.

Gauthier and Simon meet up with Largo, and Simon reveals that he was paid by a man named Thomas to drive him through Burma. He arrived with him at General Min's base, where he paid in advance for Min to organize the massacre using the Pandora account. However, when Nerio found out about the massacre, he refused to let Thomas to pay the rest of the money, and he was shot by Min while Simon secretly observed this from the car while he was behind the walls. Simon left, picking up the rest of the survivors among the way, before he arrived at the village where Largo stayed at. Later on, Malunai reveals that she was abducted by Lazarevic's mercenaries, and Largo finds a tracking device in her. Just then, Lazarevic's mistress Anna and another henchman arrive, and Largo manages to kill both of them, but not before Anna strangles Malunai to death. Largo picks up Noom and he leaves with Simon and Gauthier. Soon after, Lazarevic arrives at the hotel, and, after finding his man and Anna dead, he swears revenge against Largo.

Largo contacts the private bank again and transfers only 7 dollars to another account, and then contacts Cochrane, who is in the car with Nazatchov, and informs him that he is heading to Zurich. Nazatchov, overhearing this, instructs Lazarevic to go to Zurich and kill him. However, Largo heads for Bangkok and secretly tails Lazarevic's group, who is departing in a private jet. He and Simon tie up the pilots in their hotel room and take their uniforms and await for Lazarevic, who board the plane, and they head for Zurich, intending to tail Lazarevic when they land. However, during the flight, Lazarevic finds out about the pilots and they corner Simon and Largo. They fight them, and Simon opens the plane doors, causing a decompression which ejects Simon out of the plane. Largo jumps out with a parachute, and Lazarevic follows them. In mid-air, Lazarevic fights Largo, who knocks him out and disables his parachute and saves Simon, while Lazarevic dies after falling on the ground.

Meanwhile, Francken finds out about the 7 dollar transfer and investigates Lazarevic's account, finding out that he was on Nazatchov's payroll, realizing that Largo is being set up. Largo and Simon go to Jung's house, and Simon stays in Jung's house while Jung takes him to Francken to clear out his name. However, when they arrive at the UN building, Jung injects him with a strong sedative, and reveals that Thomas is actually his son; Thomas worked for Nerio by making new deals across the world, and set up the secret bank account Pandora for Thomas to pay to the locals in exchange for information. Thomas instructed General Min to organize the massacre since the area was rich with nickel. However, Nerio was unaware of the massacre and when Thomas informed him about this, he refused to authorize him to pay the rest of the amount, disgusted by Thomas's actions.  Jung also reveals that he made a deal with Nazatchov, who would take over the company in exchange for help, and that Lazarevic killed Min on Jung's orders, and that Largo was the scapegoat so he would be humiliated and sentenced to prison for life as a revenge.

Jung leaves to kill Francken to kill her so he could prevent her to clear Largo's name, while Largo lies sedated on the floor, unable to move. However, Simon, who found pictures of Thomas and realized Jung's plan, arrives at the UN building and gives Largo sugar to remedy the effects, and Largo instructs Simon to call the police while he heads to rescue Francken. He finds Jung holding Francken at knife point, and shouts about Thomas's immoral and unethical actions, which Jung refuses to accept, wanting Largo to beg for Francken's life just as he begged Nerio to save Thomas. However, Francken momentarily distracts Jung, and Largo runs up to him and knocks him over the stairwell, killing him.

In the aftermath, Largo is cleared of all charges by Francken, and Nazatchov is unable to buy the company since the stocks have raised high after Largo's name was cleared. Largo travels back to Burma, where he and Noom are standing by Malunai's grave while Gauthier and Simon are watching them, where Largo promises to take care of Noom and that Malunai is watching both of them, before they walk away together.

title: 1895 Dominican Republic arbitration referendum

text:
A four-part referendum on arbitration over a border dispute with Haiti was held in the Dominican Republic on 2 June 1895. Voters were asked whether an arbitration tribunal should be established, whether Pope Leo XIII would be an appropriate arbitrator, what compensation Haiti should receive if the outcome was favourable to the Dominican Republic, and whether the government should comply with the tribunal outcome if it was unfavourable to the Dominican Republic. All four proposals were approved by voters.

Aftermath
As a result of the referendum, the two countries signed an arbitration agreement on 3 July 1895. However, the Vatican declined the request, noting that it was "restricted to the simple interpretation of Article 4 of the Treaty of 1874." Subsequently, the countries agreed to form a mixed demarcation commission on 28 May 1899.

title: Sir David Wedderburn, 1st Baronet

text:
Sir David Wedderburn, 1st Baronet (10 March 1775 – 7 April 1858) was a Scottish businessman and Tory politician. He was Postmaster General for Scotland 1823-31 and a member of two London militias before that.

Family background

Wedderburn was the oldest surviving son of John Wedderburn (1729–1803, styled 6th Baronet) of Ballindean and his first wife Margaret Ogilvy, daughter of David Ogilvy (styled Lord Ogilvy). Both his father's and his mother's family had been attainted after the Jacobite rising of 1745, losing their titles, but his father continued to style himself as a baronet.

His father had escaped to Jamaica after the execution of his own father, Sir John Wedderburn, 5th Baronet of Blackness, and had established a successful business based on slave sugar, trading with his brother and cousins in their London trading house Wedderburn, Webster & Co.

His mother died two weeks after his birth. When he was five years old, his father re-married, giving him as stepmother Alice Dundas, who was related to Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville, the Tory politician. David Wedderburn had two full sisters, Margaret and Jean, and according to the Legacies of British Slave-ownership project, seven half-siblings. The eldest, James, died young. John (1789–1862) succeeded David as the second baronet. (Genealogist Joseph Foster writes that the second baronet's children included David (1835-1882) and William (1838-1918), the third and fourth baronets respectively; the eldest son John had joined the Bengal Civil Service and died in the Indian Mutiny of 1857.) Alexander (1791-1839) was a soldier. The four girls were Maria, Susan, Louisa Dorothea, and Anne. On 9 February 1803, aged 16, Louisa married General John Hope, 4th Earl of Hopetoun. Anne married Sir John Hope, 11th Baronet Hope of Craighall.

Business and politics

In 1796 David Wedderburn joined the business, at 35 Leadenhall Street in London, and made large profits. In 1803, he inherited his father's estates in Jamaica and at Ballindean, and was made a baronet,
of Ballindean in Perthshire.

He was elected at a by-election in 1805 as the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Perth Burghs. He had the support of the 9th Earl of Kellie, but was opposed by Sir David Scott, 2nd Baronet, son of the deceased MP David Scott (of Dunninald). Scott had the support of the powerful Lord Melville, but by the time he began his canvassing, Wedderburn was too far ahead to be dislodged. He was re-elected unopposed at the next three general elections.

In the House of Commons he voted as a loyal Tory, though after 1812 he did not attend Parliament frequently.  He is believed to have never spoken in the Commons.

Wedderburn left Wedderburn, Webster & Co in 1816 and retired from Parliament at the 1818 general election. He sold the Ballindean estate in 1820 to William Trotter for 67 000. He served as Postmaster General for Scotland from 1823 to 1831.

He is buried in Inveresk churchyard. The grave lies midway along the western boundary of the original churchyard, backing onto the Victorian cemetery.

Marriage and legacy
He married Margaret Brown (1775-1845). They had two sons, but both died before Sir David, so the title went to his half-brother, Sir John Wedderburn, son of Alice Dundas.

title: Postmaster General for Scotland

text:
The Postmaster General for Scotland, based in Edinburgh, was responsible for the postal service in the Kingdom of Scotland from approximately 1616 until the Act of Union unified Scotland and England in 1707, creating a new state called the Kingdom of Great Britain. From 1711, the posts in Scotland were the responsibility of the Deputy Postmaster General for Scotland, until in 1831, that position was subsumed into the duties of the Postmaster General of the United Kingdom.

History
The Union of the Crowns took place in 1603 and on 5 May a public postal system was approved by the Parliament of Scotland's Act William III c.31, to be set up between Berwick, just south of the Scottish border, and Edinburgh. At some time after 1603 the post of Postmaster General for Scotland was established by the Privy Council of Scotland with the first appointment mentioned in 1616 as Sir William Seton. From Privy Council records, Seton appears to have held the position until 1631, or 1633, though a 1641 Act of the Scottish Parliament ratifies his appointment for life as "His Majesty's cheefe post maister of all his Hienes postmaisteres ..." at a salary of £500 per annum. No new appointment was made until 1649 when the Commonwealth took over the post in Scotland.

Following the 1660 restoration of the monarchy, one Patrick Grahame became Postmaster General for Scotland under the Privy Seal of King Charles II from 14 September 1662 for his lifetime at the same salary of £500 per annum: officium precipui magistri cursoris lie Postmaster-Generall et Censoris omnium cursorum dicti regni Scotie. Grahame's son John obtained the position after his father's death in 1674 at a new salary of £1,000 per annum and held the office until 1689.

In August 1695 an Act of William III again established a General Post Office in Scotland to be set up in Edinburgh:

The Post Office Act of Anne, 1710, repealed the 1695 Act of William and united the Post Offices of England and Scotland under one Postmaster-General as the Postmaster-General of Great Britain; from 1711 in Scotland the office was managed by a deputy postmaster general. The first Deputy Postmaster General for Scotland was George Main who held the office of Postmaster General for Scotland until 1707 and between then and his appointment as deputy he was the Post Office Manager for Scotland During his tenure between May and September 1707 he is described as the Postmaster of North Britain.

Curiously, some early 19th century Edinburgh Post Office directories were published under the patronage of the Postmaster General of Scotland by Robert Trotter, Francis Gray, Earl of Caithness and Sir David Wedderburn even though that post no longer officially existed.

The Scottish postmaster generalship, as with the same office in Ireland, was finally abolished, not at the time of the Act of Union in 1800 but in 1831. The 1831 published Post Office Annual Directory was issued under the patronage of Sir Edward Smith Lees, Secretary to the General Post Office for Edinburgh who had been moved to Scotland when he swopped his Irish secretaryship with his counterpart Augustus Godby during the reforms of the Irish Post Office in 1831.

Kenneth Clark had already achieved fame with a series of popular books while also serving as, from 1969 on, the writer, producer and presenter of the BBC programme, Civilisation, a pioneering television documentary series. The prestigious series earned a Peabody Award as well as general commercial success. In the work, he articulated his viewpoint that cultural, political, and scientific progress can be shown from society to society in the Western world as time passes through pieces of visual art.

Contents
Clark's work on masterpieces emphatically supports the concept that there is such a thing as a masterpiece and that in some sense it may be objectively defined or comprehended. He opposes this to a certain form of cultural relativism that had become prominent in recent decades and may in part be attributed to the influence of postmodernism. In particular, the notion of a masterpiece was related to the balance between the particular (the fruits of the era in which the artist lived) with the universal (the grand themes raised by the human condition itself) in Clark's view.

Clark's definition of an artistic masterpiece was based on a number of different considerations and criteria that apply to different works produced in markedly different time periods and milieux. For example, in this particular work he argued that it is the "creation of an individual artist's authentic genius." At the same time, he expounded a number of other aspects that for him were essential in the configuration of a masterpiece: that it is "a confluence of memories and emotions forming a single idea", that it has "a power of recreating traditional forms so that they become expressive of an artist's own epoch and yet keep a relationship to the past". The highest masterpieces are said to be "illustrations of great themes." Clark also implicitly excluded the erotic from considerations of what constituted a masterpiece, based on his perspective that a necessary condition is the balance between sense and form (works that are too sensual are, therefore, unbalanced and not to be categorised at masterpiece level).

title: Louis-Philippe Mouchy

text:
Louis-Philippe Mouchy (31 March 1734 – 10 December 1801) was a French sculptor.

Early years

Louis-Philippe Mouchy was born in 1734.
He was a student of Jean-Baptiste Pigalle, and married Pigalle's niece.
Mouchy followed Pigalle's style closely throughout his career.
He was given provisional membership of the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture on 27 September 1766 and was admitted as a full academician on 25 June 1768.
His reception piece was Un Berger qui se repose (Shepherd at Rest).
Diderot described this work as "a rather literal copy of the first figure one sees to the left when entering the Tuileries from the Pont Royal.

Academician

Mouchy made a statue of Cupid Carving his Darts from the Club of Hercules from an original by Edmé Bouchardon.
The copy was installed in a small round Temple of Love built for Marie Antoinette by Richard Mique in the garden of the Petit Trianon.
Mouchy collaborated with Simon-Louis Boizot (1743–1809) on statues for Saint-Sulpice.
He was more comfortable with realist work, where the subjects were dressed in 17th century costumes, than with the classical style.
His marble seated figure of Harpocrates, an ancient god, was criticized as being "spindly", with a head that did not appear noble.

Mouchy was made an assistant professor at the Académie royale, which gave him precedence when the comte d'Angiviller was commissioning statues of prominent Frenchmen for the state after Louis XVI of France became king in 1774.
Only Augustin Pajou received more commissions.
Mouchy made busts of Voltaire and Maurice de Saxe for the Marquis de Marigny to decorate his garden.
Mouchy accepted a commission from the controller-general, Joseph Marie Terray (1715–78), for a statue of Apollo, representing the Arts.
It was to be paired with Pajou's statue of Mercury, representing commerce. After Terray died his collection was auctioned off in January 1779.
Neither statue was complete, and they had to be viewed in the sculptors' studios.

Mouchy's son-in-law was the painter and engraver Philibert-Louis Debucourt.
In the marriage contract Mouchy generously offered to provide a three-room apartment at the Louvre, where Debucourt lived for twelve and a half years.
Mouchy died in 1801.
