title: MS Wawel

text:
MS Wawel is a ferry launched in 1979 as the Scandinavia. She spent a large part of her career serving the Dover-Calais cross channel ferry route with successive operators. She is currently in service with Polferries as Wawel.

Early years
Wawel started life as Scandinavia, ordered by and for Rederi AB Nordö, Malmö for services in the Eastern Mediterranean. She was launched at the Kockums Varv AB shipyard in Malmö, Sweden on 1 December 1979  and delivered to Rederi AB Nordö on 17 March 1980, opening a service between Koper, Yugoslavia and Tartous, Syria in April 1980. On 7 June 1980, Scandinavias sister ship,  capsized on her maiden voyage roughly  away from Larnaca, Cyprus. This precipitated the end of Rederi's Yugoslavia to Syria service.  In April 1982 the two remaining vessels Scandinavia and her sister Ariadne were sold to Bulgarian So Mejdunaroden Automobile Transport (SOMAT) and Scandinavia was renamed Tzarevetz. Under SOMAT ownership, Tzarevetz was operated using the MedLink brand running trans-Mediterranean services until 1984 when she was chartered back to Rederi AB to run a service between Greece and Italy. A further charter in 1987 saw her transfer first to the Baltic Sea, and then later in 1988 a brief charter running a service in the North Sea for DFDS. In November 1988, both Tzarvetz and her sister, which had been renamed Trapezitza  were sold to Sealink British Ferries.

Sealink to Stena
Following the purchase by Sealink British Ferries she was renamed to Fiesta and undertook some charter work in Africa. After only a few trips, Fiestas crew resigned due to worries over piracy near Lagos, Nigeria and she was consequently laid up in the Fal. Sealink eventually decided to use the two vessels, in a pooling agreement with SNCF to provide a joint service running between Dover and Calais. As a result of this decision, Fiesta and her sister, now named Fantasia were sent to Lloyd Werft, Bremerhaven in June 1989 to be converted from freight carriers to passenger carriers. As part of the pooling agreement, Fantasia was to be given to SNCF, as a result of this, whilst at Bremerhaven, the two vessels swapped names. Fantasia returned to Dover on 8 March 1990, her owners had in the meantime been acquired by Stena Line. The joint services were renamed initially to Sealink Stena Line, under the new branding, in October 1990 it was announced that Fantasia would become Stena Fantasia.

In December 1990 she was sent to A&P Appledore for a major overhaul following maneuverability issues and bow visor problems at Calais on 2 December, returning just after Christmas with her new name. Ongoing maneuverability issues resulted in a starboard hole following her spending eight hours pinned against the mooring quay in Dover during bad weather on 8 January 1991. She was sent to Rotterdam for repairs and at the same time her stern was adjusted to make it compatible with the docks at Calais. The maneuverability issues were not finally fixed until a further refit in Gothenburg beginning 6 November 1991  returning to Dover-Calais service in December 1991.

In 1993, Stena Fantasia became the first cross-channel ferry to carry a McDonald's restaurant, having been installed during a refit at Bremerhaven that year. In July 1995 SNCF announced their intention to withdraw from the pooling agreement which had been set up in 1989 to operate a new service under the name of SeaFrance from 1996. As a result of this, Stena Sealink Line dropped the 'Sealink' to become Stena Line as of 31 December 1995. Stena Fantasia continued service with Stena Line and transferred on 10 March 1998 to the newly formed joint venture of P&O Stena Line with the merger of P&O European Ferries and Stena Lines eastern channel routes. As a result of this change, and the new companies attempt to merge the two fleets, the P&O Stena 'Brand World' was rolled out across the fleet, this included the renaming of all vessels in the new fleet, Stena Fantasia consequently became P&OSL Canterbury during her December 1998 refit.

Under P&O Stena Line P&OSL Canterbury continued the Dover-Calais route, on 11 August 1999 she was hired out on charter to the Daily Mail to enable passengers to view the European Solar Eclipse. This era was not without fault, with further bow door problems in April 2000 and flooding of a machine room in May 2001 causing her to be taken out of service for repairs both times. In October 2002, P&O bought Stena Lines' 40% share in P&O Stena Line and the vessel was speedily renamed PO Canterbury, then returning after her winter refit as the Pride of Canterbury for a short service in Spring 2003. In mid-May 2003, Pride of Canterbury was laid up in Dunkirk awaiting disposal, thus ending her 13-year career on the Dover-Calais route. She was sold to GA Ferries of Greece in October 2003 but did not depart until March 2004.

Post P&O
In March 2004, the new owners GA Ferries renamed the vessel Alkmini A, operating a service between Igoumenitsa, Greece and Brindisi, Italy from June 2004. In September 2004 Alkmini A was sold to Polferries and transferred to the Baltic Sea as Wawel  operating a route from 15 February 2005  between Swinoujscie, Poland and Ystad, Sweden. In October 2008 she was chartered to DFDS to continue this route, both DFDS and Polferries now operate this route in collaboration. In 2015 she transferred to the Gdańsk - Nynäshamn route. The vessel, as of 2022, is still in service with Polferries, alongside , a much newer vessel built in 2011 (in service with Polferries since 2018).

Sister ships
Wawel had two sister ships:
  - scrapped in Alang, India, October 2011.
  - capsized on maiden voyage in June 1980.

title: Coldwater Beds

text:
The Coldwater Beds are a geologic formation of the Okanagan Highlands in British Columbia, Canada. They preserve fossils dating back to the Ypresian stage of the Eocene period, or Wasatchian in the NALMA classification.

The formation comprises mudstones, shales and tuffs deposited in a lacustrine environment and has provided many insect fossils, as well as indeterminate birds and fossil flora.

Description
The Coldwater Beds were defined by Dawson (1895) based on a section along the Coldwater River in the Okanagan Highlands. The formation reaches a thickness of , and comprises mudstones, shales and tuff deposited in a lacustrine environment. U-Pb dating of thick tephra, combined with Ar-Ar dates of sanidine from same bed provided an Early Eocene age. The tephra was deposited within insect-bearing shales.

Climate

During the Early Eocene, the climate of much of northern North America was warm and wet, with mean annual temperatures (MAT) as high as , mean annual precipitation (MAP) of , mild frost-free winters (coldest month mean temperature >), and climatic conditions that supported extensive temperate forest ecosystems.

The Quilchena fossil locality is dated to 51.5 ± 0.4 Ma corresponding to the Early Eocene Climatic Optimum (EECO), and is reconstructed as the warmest and wettest of the Early Eocene upland sites from the Okanagan Highlands of British Columbia and northern Washington State. Mean annual temperature (MAT) is estimated from leaf margin analysis as  and . Using bioclimatic analysis of 45 nearest living relatives, a moist mesothermal climate is indicated (MAT ; cold month mean temperature (CMMT)  and mean annual precipitation (MAP) of /yr. Leaf size analysis estimates a mean annual precipitation of .

Fossils

A wide variety of fossils occur in the formation, including abundant fish remains, insects, and plants, and rare occurrences of molluscs, ostracods, and birds:

Clergy
Senior Rabbi - Rabbi Samuel L. Spector

Rabbi Spector was born and raised in Seattle, Washington. He attended the University of California, San Diego, where he was an active brother of the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity. Rabbi Spector graduated with Cum Laude honors with a B.A. in Judaic Studies, a minor in Behavioral Psychology, and was elected Phi Beta Kappa. He received his master's degree in Hebrew Letters and Rabbinic Ordination from the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Los Angeles.

While in rabbinical school, Rabbi Spector served for three years as the student rabbi of Congregation Etz Chaim in Merced, California; a member of the Chaplain Candidate Program for the United States Navy; and as a chaplain intern at Los Angeles County/USC General Hospital. While in school, he led several teen trips to Israel and Eastern Europe.

Prior to coming to Congregation Kol Ami, Rabbi Spector served as the Associate Rabbi of Temple Judea in Tarzana, California, where he became recognized for his creation of young professional programming. While there, Rabbi Spector was an Edah Fellow through the Los Angeles Jewish Federation and the President of the West San Fernando Rabbinic Task Force and a delegate to the Jewish Welfare Board. He is currently a member of the Central Conference of American Rabbis.

Rabbi Emeritus - Frederick L. Wenger

Cantor Emeritus - Laurence Loeb

Cantor Loeb has been in the Cantorate for over 50 years. He was the youngest graduate ever from the Cantor's Institute at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York. He continued graduate study at the Jewish Theological Seminary in Ethnomusicology and received a Ph.D. in anthropology from Columbia University.

Using his background in Jewish music and anthropology, he studied the music and culture of the Jews of Iran. Based on that study, he published a book titled, 'Outcaste: The Jews of Southern Iran'. His subsequent anthropological research involved a Yemenite Community which now resides in Israel.

After serving as Cantor for ten years on the East Coast, Loeb moved to Utah, with his family over 40 years ago. Cantor Loeb retired from the University of Utah where he was a faculty member of the anthropology department and served as department chairman for six years.

History
The congregation observed an Orthodox style of worship until 1883, when it joined the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, the Reform movement. In 1885, the members who wanted B'nai Israel to continue to follow Orthodox tradition split off to form their own congregation, Congregation Montefiore (which later affiliated itself with the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism).  In 1973, Conservative Montefiore and Reform B'nai Israel merged to form Kol Ami.

Salt Lake City's Jewish community dates back to approximately 1854. The present congregation is the result of a successful 1972 merger of Congregation B’nai Israel (Reform founded in 1891) and Congregation Montefiore (Conservative founded in 1899). The Utah Jewish population numbers approximately 5,000, with membership at Kol Ami at approximately 350 family units, or roughly 1/4 of the Jewish population of Utah. Being a part of the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism and the Union for Reform Judaism gives the congregation a unique and enjoyable atmosphere to explore new ways of expressing Jewish faith.

In 1917, Simon Bamberger became the Jewish governor of the state of Utah. Louis Marcus became the first Jewish Mayor of Utah in 1932.

Notable events

In July 2014, a 22-year-old Salt Lake City man was convicted and sentenced to serve five years in prison for shooting out windows at the synagogue. The man, Macon Openshaw, was also ordered to pay over $1900(US) in restitution.

In October 2018 Congregation hosted an interfaith candlelight vigil in memory of those who died in the shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, Oct. 27.

Knockout phase
Each tie in the knockout phase, apart from the final, was played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scored more goals on aggregate over the two legs advanced to the next round. If the aggregate score was level, the away goals rule was applied, i.e. the team that scored more goals away from home over the two legs advanced. If away goals were also equal, then extra time was played. The away goals rule was again applied after extra time, i.e. if there were goals scored during extra time and the aggregate score was still level, the visiting team advanced by virtue of more away goals scored. If no goals were scored during extra time, the winners were decided by a penalty shoot-out. In the final, which were played as a single match, if the score was level at the end of normal time, extra time was played, followed by a penalty shoot-out if the score was still level.The mechanism of the draws for each round is as follows:
In the draw for the round of 16, the eight group winners are seeded, and the eight group runners-up are unseeded.The seeded teams are drawn against the unseeded teams, with the seeded teams hosting the second leg.
In the draws for the quarter-finals onwards, there are no seedings, and teams from the same group can be drawn against each other.

title: Flight to Canada (novel)

text:
Flight to Canada is a 1976 novel by African-American author Ishmael Reed. Set in the last years of the American Civil War and its aftermath, the story makes ready use of anachronism, referencing both actual and fabricated pop-cultural phenomena from the twentieth century, such as the made-up "Beecher Hour" TV show, as well as technology such aslike cassette tapes, jumbo jets, and Coffee-Mate. Published in the year of the United States Bicentennial, the book was called "a demonized Uncle Tom's Cabin" by The New York Times. Reed himself has described the novel as a "neo–slave narrative", and its influence has been identified in the work of Colson Whitehead.

title: Banque Belgolaise

text:
The Banque Belgo-Congolaise, abbreviated in 1965 as Banque Belgolaise, was a Brussels-based Belgian bank spun off in 1960 from the Banque du Congo Belge in the context of forthcoming Congolese independence. It ceased operations in 2012 as it was wound down by its then owner BNP Paribas Fortis.

Overview

Ahead of the independence of Congo, the Banque du Congo Belge (BCB) restructured its European activities on  into the newly formed Banque Belgo-Congolaise, with seat in Brussels. On , the bank's name was abbreviated as "Belgolaise".

Also in 1965, Belgolaise purchased the  which the BCB, by then renamed the Banque du Congo, had endowed the year before with its operations in what had become Burundi and Rwanda. In late 1966, Belgolaise separated the Rwandan activities into the Bank of Kigali, in which it took an equity stake of 40 percent.

Banque Belgolaise expanded into other African markets in the late 1980s and 1990s. In the late 1990s, together with other former banking activities of the Société Générale de Belgique, it became part of Fortis Group.

In 2005 Fortis announced it was selling the bank, but it was unable to find a buyer and started to liquidate it, closing the London and Paris branches in 2006. The liquidation was continued by BNP Paribas following its acquisition of Fortis in 2008, substantially completed in 2012, and finalized in 2018.

title: Alexander Barabanov

text:
Alexander Dmitriyevich Barabanov () (born 17 June 1994) is a Russian professional ice hockey player for the San Jose Sharks of the National Hockey League (NHL).

Playing career
Barabanov made his Kontinental Hockey League debut playing with powerhouse SKA Saint Petersburg during the 2013–14 KHL season. On 7 April 2020, Barabanov having played seven seasons in the KHL with Saint Petersburg, opted to pursue a career in the NHL by signing a one-year entry-level contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

In the pandemic delayed 2020–21 season, Barabanov remained on the Maple Leafs opening night roster and made his NHL debut in a 5–4 overtime win over the Montreal Canadiens on 13 January 2021. Playing in a reduced role, due to the Maple Leafs forward depth, Barabanov appeared sporadically in 13 regular season games collecting 1 point, a primary assist on a T. J. Brodie goal in a 3–2 victory also over the Canadiens, on 7 April 2021. In an assignment to the Maple Leafs AHL affiliate, the Toronto Marlies, Barabanov showed his offensive acumen in collecting 5 points through 2 games.

On 12 April 2021, Barabanov was traded from Toronto at the trade deadline to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Antti Suomela. He made his debut with the Sharks on 26 April 2021, in a 6–4 win over the Arizona Coyotes, in which he scored his first NHL goal. On 12 May 2021, he signed a one-year extension.

In the 2022 offseason, he re-signed a two-year, $5 million contract extension with the Sharks.

International play
Barabanov has played for the Russian national team in the World Junior Championships and Senior World Championships. He was a member of the Olympic Athletes from Russia team at the 2018 Winter Olympics.

title: Trevor H. Howard-Hill

text:
Trevor H. Howard-Hill (October 17, 1933 - June 1, 2011) was a New Zealand born scholar of English literature.  He was considered a leading figure in the field of bibliography and book history and an important voice in debates over editorial theory.

Howard-Hill was well known in his fields for two major reference works.  The Index to British Literary Bibliography, a project that Howard-Hill conceived in the early 1960s, was published in eleven volumes over three decades, from 1969 to 2009.  An early proponent of the field of literary computing, he also produced the 37-volume Oxford Shakespeare Concordances, published from 1969 to 1973.  Within Shakespeare scholarship, Howard-Hill is known for his work on Ralph Crane, a theater scribe who wrote out several of the early surviving manuscripts of Shakespeare's plays.

After earning his Ph.D. at New Zealand's Victoria University of Wellington in 1960, and working as head of cataloging at the Alexander Turnbull Library, he moved to Great Britain and became a research fellow at Oxford from 1965 to 1970.  In 1972, he joined the faculty of the University of South Carolina, where he would work until his retirement in 1999.  He was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1989 in the field of Bibliography.  After his retirement, he continued to serve as the editor of the Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America, a post he had taken up in 1994.

title: Massappeal

text:
Massappeal were an Australian hardcore punk band founded in early 1985 by mainstays, Brett Curotta (guitar), and Randy Reimann (vocals). Massapeal released four studio albums, Nobody Likes a Thinker (1986), Jazz (1989), The Mechanic (1992) and Nommo Anagonno (1994), before disbanding late in 1994.

History

Massappeal were a pioneering Sydney-based hardcore punk band formed in early 1985 by Brett Curotta on guitar (ex-Bedspreads), Darren Gilmour on drums (ex-Rocks, Climate of Fear), Kevin McCrear on bass guitar, and Randy Reimann on lead vocals. According to Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, they "mixed breakneck punk tempos with unrelenting heavy metal guitar riffs to arrive at a potent and rough-hewn sound."

The band learned of hardcore punk from the US and UK via tape trading and by reading zines. The band's first gig was on Mardi-Gras night in 1985 in Sydney. They first made their music available-a live taping-on a compilation tape for a fanzine entitled Zit. Waterfront Records asked the band to record a demo in May 1986 and an album, Nobody Likes a Thinker, which was released in December 1986. It was reviewed positively in Australian music magazines and daily newspapers. The album garnered the number 1 spot on the Australian indie charts. The band toured Australia, first with fellow Sydney band and label mates Hard-Ons, and later with the US band DRI. Darren left the band in 1987 and Tubby(Alex) Wadsworth, a drummer from the metal scene, took over on drums.

After Tubby left the band in 1988, Curotta reached out to Dave Ross (ex-Civil Dissident, Vicious Circle, Nobody's Victim) to fill the drumming seat. Ross re-located his home base from Melbourne to Sydney and soon after Sean Fonti (ex-My Heart Bleeds for You) replaced McCrear on bass guitar. During this transition period, the Massappeal sound developed a slower, more complex intensity that framed the musical stylings of much of their follow up album Jazz (1989). Later that year, Massappeal toured nationally supporting Rollins Band. The band's sound continued to develop, maintaining the intensity of its thrash based roots while exploring more dynamic shifts in sound, incorporating light and space to complement heavy prog-rock moments. Prior to recording The Mechanic (1991) Ross left and was replaced by Peter Allen (ex-Terrible Virtue). Fonti left soon after to form Caligula with his brother Jamie and Ross on drums. Ross would later form Sydney based outfit Bob with McCrear on bass guitar.

Sterling was born in 1989 in Uniondale, New York to Jamaican parents, Cleveland and Sophia Sterling. He grew up with seven full siblings and at least 12 half-siblings. To stay away from the prevalent gang life in which some of his brothers joined, Sterling started wrestling at Uniondale High School in 2004.

Unable to catch up with the grades to reach Division I, Sterling opted to enroll at Morrisville State College where he continued wrestling. During the time in Morrisville, Sterling developed an interest in MMA when he met Jon Jones and trained on the wrestling team. After the freshman year, Sterling transferred to Cortland and eventually became a two-time NCAA Division III All-American with a record of 87–27. Sterling graduated from Cortland with a bachelor's degree in physical education. After years of absence in wrestling competition, Sterling wrestled and grappled two-time NCAA DI wrestling All-American and sophomore from Penn State Roman Bravo-Young, on December 22, 2020, at the NLWC IV. The rules consisted on six minutes of freestyle wrestling and three minutes of Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Sterling was defeated by points in the first match 6-4 but tapped out Bravo-Young in the second one.
He earned the nickname “The Funk Master” from his unorthodox wrestling style.

Mixed martial arts career
While studying in Cortland, Sterling was invited by Jones to try out mixed martial arts at his gym of that time, The BombSquad in Ithaca, New York. A few fights into his professional career, Sterling left The BombSquad and started training at Serra-Longo Fight Team.

Early career
Sterling started his amateur career in 2009 with a submission win. Prior to turning pro Sterling compiled a 6-1 amateur record with the lone loss coming by way of split decision, he would eventually avenge this loss. Sterling captured the Raging Wolf amateur Bantamweight Championship and Extreme FC amateur Featherweight Championship along the way.

Sterling started his professional career 2–0, before earning a shot at the ROC Bantamweight Championship. He would go on to defeat Claudio Ledesma by split decision to capture the title. Although this would turn out to be his last bout under the Ring of Combat organization, as he would later sign with Cage Fury Fighting Championships.

Sterling made his CFFC debut in a Featherweight bout against Evan Chmieleski. He won the fight by TKO with just two seconds left in the first round. This victory earned him a shot at the vacant CFFC Bantamweight Championship. Sterling defeated Sean Santella via unanimous decision to capture his second professional title. He would go on to defend the CFFC Bantamweight Championship on three occasions. Sterling finished all three of his title defenses by rear naked choke, which earned him the opportunity to compete in the UFC.

Patronymic surnames


title: James Brabazon

text:
James Martin Brabazon (born 18 February 1972), is a British documentary filmmaker, journalist, and author.

Brabazon is best known for his work in conflict situations. He first gained attention as the only journalist to film the LURD rebel group fighting to overthrow President Charles Taylor during the Second Liberian Civil War.

While in Liberia, Brabazon encountered South African mercenary Nick du Toit and hired him as his bodyguard. Brabazon’s memoir My Friend the Mercenary recounts his experiences of the Liberian civil war, his friendship with du Toit, and du Toit’s subsequent role in the failed Equatorial Guinea coup attempt.

In 2013 Brabazon produced the HBO documentary Which Way Is The Frontline From Here? The Life and Time of Tim Hetherington. The documentary tells the story of photographer Tim Hetherington, Brabazon's friend and collaborator, who was killed while reporting on the Libyan Civil War in April 2011. The documentary was shortlisted for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.

Early career

Brabazon studied for a master's degree in history at the University of Cambridge, graduating in 1994. He started his career as a photojournalist in London and Paris, before moving to Nairobi, Kenya to work as a television news producer with the Kenyan agency Camerapix.

Liberian Civil War

In May 2002, Brabazon travelled to Liberia, then in the midst of civil war. He made contact with Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy (LURD), a largely-undocumented insurgent group fighting to overthrow President Charles Taylor.

Brabazon followed their march through the country towards the capital Monrovia, becoming the only journalist to film the group inside Liberia. In the course of his reporting, Brabazon recorded evidence of atrocities committed by LURD, including the torture and execution of government soldiers, and the murder of prisoners of war for ritual cannibalism. However, Brabazon has cautioned against "the stereotype of the bloodthirsty African rebel":

Brabazon has stated that he was successfully treated for post-traumatic stress disorder on his return from Liberia.

In October 2002 and June 2003 Brabazon made two return trips to Liberia, the latter with photographer Tim Hetherington.

The events of the Liberian civil war formed the basis for Brabazon's documentaries Liberia: A Journey Without Maps (2002) and Liberia: An Uncivil War (2004).

My Friend the Mercenary

In Liberia, Brabazon met Nick du Toit, a South African mercenary and arms dealer. Brabazon hired du Toit as his bodyguard and the two formed a close friendship, despite Brabazon’s unease with du Toit’s past as a veteran of the apartheid-era South African Army.

On being reunited in West Africa in 2003, du Toit informed Brabazon of his part in a plot to overthrow President Teodoro Obiang of Equatorial Guinea. Du Toit offered Brabazon the opportunity to film the coup attempt, and Brabazon agreed to document the operation. However, Brabazon did not receive word from du Toit confirming that the coup attempt was going ahead and did not board the plane, as he was mourning the loss of his grandfather in England and had turned off his phone.

The attempt to overthrow Obiang ended in disaster when Zimbabwean authorities discovered the plane being used to ferry men and equipment into Equatorial Guinea. The coup attempt gained international notoriety soon afterwards when it was claimed that Sir Mark Thatcher, son of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, was involved in funding the coup.

Nick du Toit was arrested in Equatorial Guinea along with 14 other men. Accused of leading this group, du Toit was eventually found guilty of treason and sentenced to 34 years in the infamous Black Beach prison. He was given a presidential pardon by President Obiang in 2009, having served five years and eight months in prison.

Du Toit has claimed that he was tortured, beaten and starved while in prison. Brabazon has spoken of feeling both guilt and relief on learning that he had narrowly missed du Toit’s fate.

Brabazon’s memoir My Friend the Mercenary tells the story of his friendship with du Toit and the events leading up to the coup attempt.

In March 2014, the NPR radio series Snap Judgment featured an extended interview with Brabazon, in which he reflected on his work in Liberia and his friendship with du Toit.

Other work

In 2013, Brabazon produced the Academy Award-shortlisted documentary Which Way Is The Frontline From Here? The Life and Time of Tim Hetherington. Broadcast on HBO and the BBC’s Storyville, the film is a portrait of the photographer Tim Hetherington, Brabazon’s friend and collaborator. Hetherington was killed while reporting on the Libyan civil war in April 2011. Brabazon and Hetherington met in London in while Brabazon was preparing to film his documentary Liberia: An Uncivil War.

Brabazon has produced 21 films in Channel 4’s Unreported World series. Countries that he has visited for Unreported World include Somalia, India, Ivory Coast, Colombia, Angola, Cameroon, Papua New Guinea and Syria. He has also made six documentaries for Channel 4’s Dispatches series.

In addition to his work as a filmmaker and photographer, Brabazon’s written work has appeared in Newsweek, The Guardian Weekend magazine, Monocle and The Independent.

In 2006, Brabazon was called as an expert witness during the trial for war crimes of Guus Kouwenhoven.

Personal life

Brabazon lives in the United Kingdom.

title: Blood Moon: Year of the Wolf

text:
Blood Moon: Year of the Wolf is the second compilation album by American rapper the Game. It was released on October 14, 2014, by Blood Money Entertainment and eOne Music. The album was supported by two singles: "Bigger Than Me" and "Or Nah". Upon its release, Blood Moon: Year of the Wolf received generally mixed reviews from music critics. The album debuted at number 7 on the Billboard 200, selling 33,000 copies in its first week of release.

Background
In December 2012, the Game founded a new record label, Rolex Records, along with a fellow American rapper Stat Quo. Following its founding, he bought his entire team at the record label Rolex watches. After a six-month legal battle with Rolex, he was forced to change the name and logo of the record label. He officially would then change the name of the label to The Firm, which then became Blood Money Entertainment. The label signed West Coast rappers Skeme and Dubb as its first two artists.

Promotion
On June 16, 2014, the Game released the album's first single "Bigger than Me". The song heavily samples rock group Poliça's 2013 single "Warrior Lord". The second single off of Year of the Wolf, titled "Or Nah" was released on July 1, 2014 The album was originally scheduled to be released on September 16, 2014 but was pushed back a month for last minute touches and changes. The Game held a contest in which the fans could design the album cover. He found it so difficult to pick a cover that he pushed back the winners announcement twice. Finally, on September 4, 2014 he announced that Instagram user "xoramos661" had made the cover he would use for the album.

Critical response

Blood Moon: Year of the Wolf received mixed reviews from music critics. David Jeffries of AllMusic said, "More a misrepresentation than a failure, Blood Moon is a loose label comp that would do fine living in the forgiving lands of stopgap and second tier. Labeled as a Game album proper, it's a serious dip." Kellan Miller of XXL stated, "With a heavy heart and head against the backdrop of soulful, funereal sounding instrumentals, The Game puts together two of the deepest, enduring cuts in his entire catalog." However, he characterizes much of the album as "filler". Dean Mayorga of HipHopDX said, "The album ultimately fails in establishing a balance and plunges into unfocused aggression."

Commercial performance
The album debuted at number seven on the Billboard 200, with sales of 33,000 copies in the United States. In its second week, the album dropped to number 31 on the chart, selling 9,000 copies. The album has sold 80,000 copies as of October 2015.
