title: List of Monica and Friends characters

text:
This is a list of characters from the Monica's Gang franchise, created by Brazilian cartoonist Maurício de Sousa. Note that only characters from the main series are detailed here. For characters from related publications, check the navigation box at the bottom of this page.

De Sousa's initial characters were all male. He was once called a "misogynist" for this, which led him to create his first female characters, inspired by some of his own daughters.

Main characters

The four main characters of Monica's Gang are:

 Monica (Mônica)

 Jimmy Five (Cebolinha "Chives")

 Smudge (Cascão)

 Maggy (Magali)

Minor characters

Franklin
Franklin (Franjinha,  Little Fringe) The child prodigy of the gang, being a preteen. He is a scientist who creates formulas, time machines and several fantastic devices in his laboratory that often fall into the hands of their friends creating serious problems. Many times Jimmy Five takes advantage of using his inventions to use them to defeat Monica, sometimes convincing Franklin to help him in his plans to dominate the street. He owns of the puppy Blu, who has been his best friend since the first comic strips. Usually seen walking along with Bucky, Jeremiah, and Manezinho, which has been his friends since the earliest comics. He also has a secret love for Marina, often using their inventions to try to impress her. He is blond with a black bangs covering his forehead, usually wears black shorts, brown shoes, and a red shirt with a button (very similar to Jimmy Five's clothes), and occasionally also a white coat when in his laboratory. The character was originally based on Mauricio de Sousa himself as a child.

Bucky
Bucky (Titi) is Franklin's best friend and one of the older boys in the gang. He is an arrogant, narcissistic and flirtatious boy. Bucky has teeth as big as Monica, but his friends hardly make fun of that. Bucky dates Annie, but constantly betrays her hidden and hangs around with any girls he sees. He sometimes ends up alone and hated by his ex-girlfriends, because he dates so many girls that it becomes impossible for him to hide one from the others. Usually he is seen together Franklin, Jeremiah and Manezinho in most of the stories, sometimes forming the team of the older preteen boys known as the "Turma do Bermudão" (lit. Big Shorts' Gang).

Jeremiah
Jeremiah (Jeremias) is another of Franklin's best friends, and one of Mauricio's few Afro-Brazilian characters. He is seen most of the time hanging out with Fraklin, Bucky (who is his best friend) and Manezinho. He often wears a red cap (which belonged to his grandfather), hiding that he is bald. At first, until the early 70s he was drawn in a strong black color with blackface features, but nowadays, his color is a softer brown and has thin lips.

In 2018, the character became the protagonist of a graphic novel from the Graphic MSP collection, entitled Jeremias: Pele, addressing issues of racial prejudice. The graphic novel was written by Rafael Calça and drawn by Jefferson Costa, having had a sequel in 2020 entitled Jeremias: Alma.

Manezinho
Manezinho is another of Franklin and Bucky's best friends. He is an immigrant from Portugal who now lives in Brazil. He is often seen wearing red overalls and has hair similar to Monica's. He was frequently present in the comics until the early 70s, only returning in the 2000s with an excuse that in the meantime he was living in Portugal and returned to Brazil again. In the current comics it is revealed that he has a young brother called António Alfacinha.

Hummer
Hummer (Humberto) is a boy suffers from muteness, which means all he can do to communicate is to murmur "hmm-hmm". In some strips, it is stated that he is also deaf, and that he reads people's lips to understand what they are saying. Originally he was introduced in 1960 as a pre-teen being one of Franklin's friends, but over time he was redesigned as a boy the same age as Jimmy Five.

Mary Angela
Mary Angela (Maria Cebolinha) is Jimmy Five's baby sister. She is a baby who is between 1 and 2 years old, sometimes being able to speak a few words. Just like Monica and Maggy she was also based on one of Mauricio de Sousa's first daughters, Mariângela, being the eldest daughter of the family.

Specs
Specs (Zé Luís) is one of the oldest kids of the gang. Specs likes reading and studying, but also finds time to hang with his friends. He was introduced as one of the Jimmy Five's best friends and sidekick during the return of the strips in the newspapers in 1963, at first without personality. When Monica first appeared, she was said to be his little sister, but the idea was discarded in later strips. Specs was also originally the leader of the boys' club, but this idea was also forgotten giving his place to the Jimmy Five. Currently he has rarely appeared in modern comics, usually in favor of Franklin who is the main genius of the gang. His age is inconsistent, typically being portrayed between a pre-teen or teenager (mostly in recent comics) or even as a tall kid in the same age of Franklin. In Monica Teen he along with Crystal first appeared working for Bubbly in his spaceship, occupying the rank of Ensign.

Couch Gag Louie
Couch Gag Louie (Teveluisão, a portmanteau of the Portuguese words "Televisão" (Television), "Luís", and "Luisão" (Big Luís)) is a boy that as his name suggests, he is addicted to television, and spends all day watching it. He is one of the older boys being the same age as Specs (who is sometimes seen as his best friend). His friends always tells him that this is not healthy, and forces him to go outdoors. His main feature is that in addition to his glasses he is often seen with a grin even when he is speaking, being rarely seen without the grin. He is Bloggy's older brother. Like Specs he used to be a regular character between the 60's and 70's, but has few appearances in current comics.

Sunny
Sunny (Xaveco) is Jimmy Five and Smudge's best friend. The main characteristic of this boy a lack of any defining features. He is always referred to as "the secondary character", and the main characters always make fun of his apparent uselessness. He constantly attempts to elevate his rank to that of a main character, a trait which he transfers to his teen version in the spinoff series Monica Teen.

Sunny originally appeared in the 1960s comic strips as one of several Jimmy Five's friends with whom he starred, and continued to appear in the comic books usually serving as a supporting character in most of the stories without showing any personality. Starting in the 2000s he began to have more prominence in stories written by Emerson Abreu, which helped to develop his current trait of "secondary character", as well as his family starting with his older sister Xabéu and his divorced parents. In recent stories he is seen spending time with his clumsy father whom he visits often as he lives with his mother and sister. Also in more recent stories he is seen having a paternal grandmother named Xepa and a yellow poodle named Ximbuca.

Angel
Angel (Anjinho, lit. Little Angel) – As the name suggests, he is the guardian angel of Monica's Gang. He lives in the clouds high up above (presumably heaven). Acting more like a superhero, he is constantly called to help children under his guard, including Monica and all her friends. He also works like an advice-giver to the gang. It is impossible for him to protect all the kids from the scrapes they get into, and he most likely becomes involved in the chaos. His recurring gag is the many different ways that the gang will use to call him down (most usually Monica), often getting Angel injured or scared.

Annie
Annie (Aninha, lit. Little Ana) is Bucky's (main) girlfriend. She discovers his many betrayals, but in the end, she forgives her unfaithful boyfriend.

Later, on the series sequel, Monica Teen, Annie finally gets over Bucky, leaving him desperate to reconsiliate the relationship.

Dustine
Dustine (Maria Cascuda) is Smudge's girlfriend. Originally in the early stories Dustine was just as dirty girl, easily being a female counterpart of Smudge as her Portuguese name suggests, but over the years she has gradually changed her personality into a clean girl who takes frequent showers (although occasionally she is still drawn with smudges on her cheeks just like her boyfriend), what is occasionally portrayed as a running gag, as Smudge still prefers dirt. In the recent comics is a great friend to Monica and Maggy. She sometimes shows difficulties with her relationship with Smudge, both because Smudge doesn't take dating seriously and is often feel jealous to see her boyfriend with other girls, very similar to the relationship between Bucky and Annie. Her real name is Maria Cassandra, but she is usually referred to by the nickname Cascuda (Dustine in the English translations).

Toddy
Toddy (Quinzinho, lit. Little Quim (a short for Joaquim)) is Maggy's boyfriend being also the humble son of a baker. He is an overweight boy of Portuguese descent and often helps his father in his work, baking and delivering bread. He was originally introduced in the early issues of Maggy's comic book as a love interest for her, but over time became her boyfriend. Although he and Maggy show that they love each other very much, Maggy is usually shown to like him mostly due to his ability to satisfy her need for fresh baked goods.

Denise
Denise is a gossipy friend of Monica and Maggy, but sometimes acting as a rival to them when being with Cindy. Like Sunny, before she was a minor character but with an inconsistent design that often changes every story, until be revealed in a story that the character was played by several girls. Currently, she has appeared in stories with a fixed look having brown hair with pigtails and a purple dress. Originally in the first appearances during the 1990s she had no personality, and is often used as a support character for Monica and Maggy in stories focused only in the girls, or sometimes serving as an accomplice to Cindy practicing bullying against Monica. In recent stories after having her official look she has appeared more frequently in stories often being characterized by her outgoing, outspoken and self-centered, but charismatic, personality, sometimes acting more mature than the other kid characters.

Junior
Junior (Dudu) is the younger cousin of Maggy. A spoiled, troublemaker and a selfish 5-year-old boy who loves to tease the boys of the neighborhood, mainly Jimmy Five.

He also appeared as Smudge's friend for sharing fear of rain clouds, but not water. However some years later Mauricio decided to change his characteristic later when the real Mauro Souza stopped to have interest by meteorology, at first becoming a boy beloved by the girls, but later as a magician in 1999.

Nick Nope
Nick Nope (Do Contra) is a boy that as his Portuguese name implies ("do contra" can be translated as "against", "contrary"), he likes to avoid the mainstream and do everything in reverse to the normal way.

After this story they had a few other appearances, including meeting with Bubbly in the space (while in their Smudge form) and later in Monica Teen where they are shown bigger and older.

Capitão Picolé
Capitão Picolé (literally: Captain Popsicle) - A recurring villain who appeared in a miniseries that parodied the American series Lost. He was the first character created by Mauricio de Sousa, during his childhood, however, he was forgotten and rebelled against the other characters capturing them and imprisoning on an island (including characters who have been forgotten in the first strips, like Nico Demon and Zé Munheca). He was defeated by Monica but escaped. he is !SPOILER ALERT! The real person behind Cabeça de balde(lit: bucket head), whose shown as anyone of the gang till Monica N°54-600 edições, grandes emoções(600 editions, great emotions)(panini-2019) when they figured out who and why cabeça de balde wanted to defeat the gang.

Cabeleira Negra
Cabeleira Negra - A young and beautiful female space pirate who was one of the villains in the film Uma Aventura no Tempo. She is captain of a squad of space pirates known for various crimes in space, besides being a descendant of Blackbeard. In the film was the Bubbly's rival and also love interest. It is revealed in the film she is also bald and wears a wig. Her last appearance was in one of the first editions of Monica Teen.

Penha, Agnes and Sofia
A trio of mean girls who are known for living in the neighboring neighborhood, the Bairro das Pitangueiras, and are often referred as the Pitangueiras' Girls. They are portrayed as enemies of the children of Limoeiro, mainly Monica, Maggy and Denise who are considered their biggest rivals.

Penha is the leader, being a rich and spoiled girl, with attitudes very similar to Cindy's, notably already dating Jimmy Five once causing Monica to be jealous. It is revealed over the course of the issues that her father is a corrupt politician and her mother is a vampire who hides in the depths of her mansion. Her design is very similar to Little Lulu.

Agnes is a paranoid, cold and unsympathetic girl who has no friends (except for Penha and Sofia) and has a habit of kidnapping animals (such as birds) to keep them in cages. She lives in an old mansion together with the ghosts of her deceased parents, who influenced her daughter's antisocial behavior. In Monica Teen it is revealed that she died and became a ghost.

Sofia is a huge and grumpy obese girl with immense strength (very similar to Little Lotta), being even resistant enough to Monica's coelhadas. Because of her large size, her extraordinary strength and being always grumpy, she is usually feared by the other characters (except her friends Penha and Agnes). In Monica Teen she returns, but redeeming herself by claiming that she was misunderstood in childhood and never wanted to be the enemy in the first place.

Soninha
Soninha - Denise's evil imaginary sister. Originally debuted as a recurring character in a 90s story in a time when Denise still had an inconsistent personality and design. Later after many years absent and forgotten the character returned to appear in a story as a villain conspiring to overthrow Denise, revealing her past as an imaginary sister that Denise created and who became real after a birthday wish. She has the ability to manipulate people by usually convincing them to be her friends through compliments, countering Denise's arrogant and rude personality, and also create illusions.

Recurring characters
 Garotão (literally Big Boy) - An unseen giant child, that is one of the old Jimmy Five's friends. He has a very formidable height for his age. Due to his size he is often seen with giant toys and doing absurd things like crossing the Mediterranean Sea or causing earthquakes by jumping. Because of the size he never physically appeared in the comics, often making the characters believe he was an imaginary friend of Jimmy Five. He appeared only in the first few strips, but also made some recent special guest appearances in comic books, usually having his feet visibly appearing.
 Bernardão (literally Big Bernard) (Appeared only in the first few strips) - A sad boy, a friend of Jimmy Five. Always dressed in black clothes and a down look he is known for often makes bad luck for people who approach of him, mostly Jimmy Five, though he always gets away from bad luck. By always jinxing his friends, he is a very lonely boy.
 Leonardo (Appeared only in the first few strips) - An artistic boy, named after Leonardo da Vinci. Like Marina he has an incredible talent with paintings and sculptures. He is a friend of Jimmy Five and has a passion for Maggy.
 Massaro - A Japanese immigrant boy who first appeared in a 1972 comic book as a new friend of Jimmy Five. He is a boy who is very faithful to Japanese traditions to the point of wearing a kimono and getas all the time. He also cannot speak Portuguese properly, having a strong Japanese accent. The character has rare appearances, even being forgotten until 2008, when he reintroduced himself as Tikara's cousin.
 Estrelinha Mágica (literally Magic Little Star) - A magical star who became friends with Monica after losing its forces and falling in her room at night of Christmas. She was the protagonist of the 1988's movie "Monica's Gang The Magic Star". With the success of the film in the year the character appeared in some comics and sold a toy manufactured by Tectoy. The character however has been forgotten over time.
 Robozinho (literally Little Robot) - A coelhoide with emotions, he was the main character in the 1983 animated film A Princesa e o Robô. He had a strong love for Princess Mimi and became rival with Lord Big Rabbit, fighting for the Mimi's love. At the end of the movie he becomes a real rabbit.
 Princess Mimi - The princess from the Cenourano planet. A pink anthropomorphic alien rabbit and the love interest of Robozinho and Lord Big Rabbit. She appeared as a teenager in one of the sagas in Monica Teen.
 Mimi's Father - Is the king of the Cenourano planet. A chubby and old anthropomorphic alien rabbit. He reappears in one of Monica Teen's sagas, with a very different look.
 Monica's Love Interests - In several comics Monica (and sometimes the other girls in the neighborhood) is seen falling in love with other boys, most notably having their names ending in "inho" (Portuguese suffix for diminutive male names). One of the most notable is Reinaldinho, inspired by former MSP writer Reinaldo Waisman, who used to appear frequently in the 80s and 90s. In current comics, Monica's main interest is Fabio (Fabinho Boa Pinta). The other boys, particularly Jimmy Five, tend to dislike or envy these boys. Sometimes Jimmy Five takes advantage of Monica's strong love interest in these boys to create plans against her.
 Capitão Pitoco - A fictional parody superhero, very similar to Superman and Batman (although his design is similar to Space Ghost). He is the favorite superhero of all the boys from the neighborhood, mainly Jimmy and Smudge. The character debuted in the 2000s, since previously the heroes that were used in the comics were usually Marvel and DC Comics superheroes.
 Superomão - A parody of Superman. Often appears as either a fictional character (being Jimmy Five's favorite superhero) or a character that exists and interacts with the children of Limoeiro. A frequent running gag is that the character, as much powerful as he is, is unable to overcome Monica's strength, which is even capable of defeating him. His appearance varies, sometimes being drawn exactly identical to Superman. The real Superman officially appeared in a crossover between the Justice League and Monica's Gang in 2018.
 Ursinho Bilu - A fictional teddy bear and cartoon character in the comics. He is a cute bear very popular among the neighborhood kids. The character is a parody of bear characters like Winnie-the-Pooh and Care Bears.
 António Alfacinha - Manezinho's younger brother and friend of Jimmy Five. A Portuguese immigrant who often speaks with a Portuguese accent. He also is good friends with Monica having a crush on her. He made his comic book debut in 2007, but has had rare appearances since his debut. Sometimes he's just called Alfacinha (a term to denote a person from Lisbon) that means "little lettuce", because of this nickname Manezinho considers him a great friend for Jimmy Five, because according to him "vegetables get along well" (basing that Jimmy Five's original name is also a vegetable name).
 André - A 4-year-old autistic boy who is friends with Monica and Jimmy Five.
 Tati - An optimistic girl with down syndrome who is classmate of Monica and her friends.
 Igor and Vitória - They are a couple of seropositive children, classmates Monica and her friends.
 Vanda and Valéria - based on Mauricio's twin daughters, the first is described by herself as an "authentic and strong" person, while the latter, also according to herself, likes to cook.
 Tikara Sasaki (Brazilian way of saying "Chikara" (力), Japanese word that means power, strength) - This Japanese Brazilian character was created by Mauricio to be the mascot of the "Comemoração do Centenário da Imigração Japonesa no Brasil" (Celebration of the Centenary of the Japanese immigration to Brazil). He appeared in Monica's strips in May and June 2008. Since 2008 he has never returned in comics, although he is a regular character in Monica Teen.
 Keika Takeda - The female Japanese-Brazilian character in the comics. She entered in the comics with her friend Tikara, in May 2008's Monica comic as the commemorative mascot for the 100 year anniversary of Japanese immigration to Brazil. Like Tikara she has also never returned to comics since 2008, although she is also a regular character in Monica Teen. Her name is a reference to Alice Keiko Takeda, Mauricio de Sousa's wife.
 Binho - Milena's younger brother. He is one of Junior's friends.
 Sol - Milena's older sister. She is Crystal's best friend.

title: Grandjean de Montigny

text:
Auguste-Henri-Victor Grandjean de Montigny (15 July 1776 – 2 March 1850) was a French architect who had considerable influence on the development of architecture in Brazil.

Early years

Auguste-Henri-Victor Grandjean de Montigny was born on 15 July 1776 in the parish of St-Merry in Paris.
He studied architecture with Charles Percier and Pierre-François-Léonard Fontaine, and became a neo-classicist.
He won the Prix de Rome in 1799.
In 1802 he went to Rome with the new director of the French school, and was responsible for the work needed to prepare the Villa Medici for students.
In 1810 he was appointed architect to Jérôme Bonaparte, King of Westphalia.
He rebuilt the state rooms of the Bellevue Palace in Kassel, a triumphal gate, public fountains and the theatre.
He was named first architect of the king in 1812. He returned to France in 1814 when Napoleon was deposed.

Brazil

Grandjean de Montigny refused an offer from Russia in favor of one to go to Brazil.
He moved to Brazil in 1816 at the invitation of King John VI of Portugal (1816–26), who wanted to improve the cultural level of the colony.
He arrived in Rio de Janeiro on 12 March 1816. He represented architecture among the French artistic colony organized and led by Joachim Lebreton, who created the Academy of Fine Arts in Rio.
These artists had been educated at the École des Beaux-Arts and had been forced into exile after the fall of Napoleon.
Other members of the group included the two brothers Nicolas-Antoine Taunay, painter of battle scenes, and Auguste Taunay, sculptor; Jean-Baptiste Debret, painter, and Charles-Simon Pradier, engraver.

Grandjean de Montigny was to live in Rio de Janeiro until his death in 1850.
Throughout this period he was the only teacher of Architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts.
He designed the Roman Arch (1816) and many other buildings in an eclectic classical style.
He designed the building for the Academy of Fine Arts in 1817.
Montigny built the Praça do Comércio (exchange), completed in 1820 and later occupied by the customs.
This is now the Casa França-Brasil, a cultural center.

Grandjean de Montigny made innovative proposals for redeveloping Rio de Janeiro in 1824-25 and in 1827.
He designed official and private buildings, including residences in Rio de Janeiro in the Passeio, Mariz e Barros, Haddock Lobo and Catumbi streets.
Other buildings included the Royal College of Science, Arts and Crafts and the Candelaria market.
He converted the Seminário São Joaquim for use as the Colégio Pedro II.
In 1829 he was responsible for all the decorations for the festival celebrating the marriage of the Emperor Pedro I of Brazil and the Empress Amélie of Leuchtenberg.
In 1848 he was charged with design of the Imperial Palace and the Senate.

Auguste-Henri-Victor Grandjean de Montigny died in Rio de Janeiro in the spring of 1850.

title: Credential lag

text:
Credential lag usually occurs for a user who is attempting to log in to a system that relies on updating its cached or otherwise saved user credentials by conferring with Active Directory or similar database.

When a user changes or resets their password, it may take some time for the third party software to retrieve the new credentials from the active directory catalog; for instance, an intranet service that queries AD for permissions.

Example

User "ANOther" is prompted to change her password as it has expired on her windows domain account. Once changed, Active Directory is updated, and the user proceeds to log in.
However, it may be the case that the internal intranet site only refreshes every 15 minutes, therefore, until the intranet refreshes its credential database, the user is unable to log into the intranet service for up to 15 minutes.

title: Love Is a Dog from Hell

text:
Love is a Dog From Hell is the second and final studio album by American spoken word artist Maggie Estep. It was released on July 1, 1997 via Mouth Almighty and Mercury Records. The album represents a musical departure from Estep's previous album, No More Mr. Nice Girl. It features spoken word tracks that are influenced by various electronic music genres, such as ambient, techno and trip hop, as well as "straight-on rock songs."

The album also includes a cover of the Lou Reed song, "Vicious", from Transformer. A music video for the cover was directed by Steve Buscemi and features an appearance by Reed.

Critical reception

The album generally received positive reviews. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic wrote: "Although Maggie Estep's poetry, prose and songs lose some power when they are not seen live, Love Is a Dog from Hell is a more effective album than her debut, No More Mister Nice Girl. Estep sounds more comfortable in the studio than before, and the musical backdrops are a little sharper," while also describing her words as "stellar, capturing her acidic wit at its biting best." Tom Roe of CMJ also praised the album, stating: "Estep sounds more at home in this environment than making all that pseudo-metal noise." He also compared Estep to other "poets with musical sides", such as John S. Hall and Laurie Anderson, while noting the newly introduced ambient and techno elements in her music. Village Voice critic Robert Christgau named "Emotional Idiot", "Jenny's Shirt", and "Scab Maids on Speed" as highlights while giving the album an honorable mention in his May 1997 "Consumer Guide" column.

title: 161st New York State Legislature

text:
The 161st New York State Legislature, consisting of the New York State Senate and the New York State Assembly, met from January 5 to March 19, 1938, during the sixth year of Herbert H. Lehman's governorship, in Albany.

Background
Under the provisions of the New York Constitution of 1894, re-apportioned in 1917, 51 Senators and 150 assemblymen were elected in single-seat districts; senators for a two-year term, assemblymen for a one-year term. The senatorial districts consisted either of one or more entire counties; or a contiguous area within a single county. The counties which were divided into more than one senatorial district were New York (nine districts), Kings (eight), Bronx (three), Erie (three), Monroe (two), Queens (two) and Westchester (two). The Assembly districts were made up of contiguous area, all within the same county.

At this time there were two major political parties: the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. The American Labor Party and the Socialist Party also nominated tickets. In New York City, a "Trades Union", an "Anti-Communist", and a "City Fusion" ticket were also nominated.

Elections
The New York state election, 1937, was held on November 2. The only statewide elective office up for election was a judgeship on the New York Court of Appeals. The Democratic incumbent, Gov. Herbert H. Lehman's brother Irving Lehman, was re-elected with Republican and American Labor endorsement.

At the same time, an amendment to the State Constitution to increase of the term in office of the members of the New York State Assembly to two years, and of the statewide elected state officers (Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Comptroller, Attorney General) to four years, was accepted. Also, delegates for a Constitutional Convention, to be held later that year after the legislative session, were elected.

Assemblywoman Jane H. Todd (Rep.), of Tarrytown, was re-elected.

Sessions
The Legislature met for the regular session at the State Capitol in Albany on January 5, 1938; and adjourned in the evening of March 19.

Oswald D. Heck (Rep.) was re-elected Speaker, with 83 votes against 55 for Irwin Steingut (Dem.) and 4 for Nathaniel M. Minkoff (Am. Labor).

The Constitutional Convention met at the State Capitol in Albany on April 5; and adjourned on August 26.

title: Nick Markham, Baron Markham

text:
Nicholas Francis Markham, Baron Markham,  (born 13 February 1968) is chair of London & Continental Railways. He is the co-founder of COVID-19 testing company Cignpost Diagnostics & ExpressTest, a non-executive director of Inchora Limited, and the Department for Work and Pensions. He has served as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Health and Social Care since 2022.

Early life
Markham was born in Haywards Heath. The son of advertising executive and Goodwood racecourse director Peter Jones, CBE, and nurse Judy Markham, he has four siblings. Markham attended Downlands Comprehensive School in Sussex, then studied A Levels at Haywards Heath Sixth Form College. He attended the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) from 1986 to 1989 and earned a bachelor's degree in economics. He is a keen tennis, football (notably representing Westminster Casuals FC), and rugby player and has always been passionate about politics, making the Conservative Society the biggest political club at LSE. He was selected to stand for Westminster City Council whilst still a student, and in 1990, aged 22, he was elected as the youngest councillor, and became the youngest chair of education, aged 25, and deputy leader and chair of finance, aged 27.

DWP
In July 2020 he was appointed Lead Non-executive director for Department for Work and Pensions, where he works closely with the Secretary of State and the Permanent Secretary advising the department on how best to implement policies. In particular he utilises his housing experience to ensure the department provides best value for its £25 billion per annum housing benefit spend.

COVID-19

At the beginning of the pandemic, he set up a charity, Project Little Boat, to deliver PPE and other essential equipment, with Denis Kinane. Markham then co-founded Cignpost Diagnostics with Denis Kinane and Steve Whatley and is the Commercial Lead responsible for building the business. Cignpost has worked with elite sports, film production, travel and banking sectors to ensure they have a safe COVID-19-free working environment and under the consumer brand ExpressTest, to help the public travel safely.  Markham's position in Cignpost lead to questions about a possible conflict of interest as in early 2023 Markham is a health minister.   Markham’s does not mention Cignpost in his biography for the Department for Health website.

Career

Markham is chairman of London & Continental Railways which is the government specialist for regeneration around railways including Kings Cross and the Stratford Olympic site.
He is setting up a shared ownership solution, AnyNest, with housing charity Safe Haven, helping people onto the housing ladder. Previously he was the lead non-executive director for the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government since January 2013, where he also chaired the Audit and Risk Committee. He was strategy director at ITV where he led the merger integration of Carlton Television (now ITV London) and Granada and developed the concept of Freeview alongside the BBC.

From 1990 to 1998, Markham was a councillor and deputy leader of Westminster City Council.

From 2014 Markham chaired Inview Technology Ltd which went into administration in March 2020 with the loss to investors of  over £20 million.

He was CFO for Laura Ashley where he led the financial restructuring of the business.

He was chief executive of Top Up TV, which supplied a range of linear pay TV channels on DTT including Sky Sports 1, 2 and ESPN and which provides conditional-access modules (CAMs) and technical services to BT Vision. According to the Government website Gov.uk Top Up TV was the first successful pay TV operator on digital terrestrial television in the world.

Markham was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2022 Birthday Honours for services to the economy and government.

On 22 September 2022, he was appointed Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State in the Department of Health and Social Care. On 7 October 2022, to facilitate his ministerial role, he was created Baron Markham, of East Horsley in the County of Surrey, and was introduced to the House of Lords on 10 October 2022. He sits as a Conservative peer. His was the first life peerage created during Charles III's reign.

Personal life
Markham lives in Surrey with wife Dr Ingrid Batista and their son Xavi. He also has two older children Ben and Sam.

title: Disconnected youth

text:
Disconnected youth is a label in United States public policy debate for NEETs, young people "Not in Education, Employment, or Training". Measure of America's July 2021 report says disconnected youth (defined as aged 16 to 24) number 4.1 million in the United States, about one in nine of the age cohort. Disconnected youth are sometimes referred to as Opportunity Youth.

Emphasis is placed upon this group because the years between the late teens and the mid-twenties are believed to be a critical period during which young people form adult identities and move toward independence. The effects of youth disconnection—limited education, social exclusion, lack of work experience, and fewer opportunities to develop mentors and valuable work connections—can have long-term consequences that snowball across the life course, eventually influencing everything from earnings and self-sufficiency to physical and mental health and marital prospects. Much discussion has been focused on how to reach these young people and connect them with broader social institutions in order to prevent these negative consequences.

Analysis has also examined the economic impact of youth disconnection. According to the Measure of America report, the average disconnected youth costs $37,450 a year in government services with varying levels of successful impact.

Definition

The term has gained increased usage in recent years among policy advocates and social science researchers, particularly after the Great Recession. After a decade of relatively stable rates, the rolls of the disconnected surged by over 800,000 young people between 2007 and 2010. The latest data indicates that the rate of youth disconnection has fallen to 10.7 percent, a significant drop from the 2010 post-recession high of 14.7 percent, or 5.8 million young people. However, data on disconnected youth during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States has not yet been reported. It is estimated that at the peak the number was at 9 million.

A 2012 study by the Annie E. Casey Foundation found that "the data show that the populations struggling the most to enter the workforce and stay in school today are youth who are less educated, come from low-income families and belong to a racial or ethnic minority."

The United States Department of Education defines disconnected youth as those aged 14 to 24 years old, but relies on calculations done for the 16-24 group by Measure of America. Some researchers have narrowed the definition of youth disconnection to exclude those above an income and education threshold, and those parenting with a connected spouse.

The two surveys commonly used to calculate youth disconnection are the American Community Survey (ACS) and the Current Population Survey (CPS). Each survey has its advantages; the ACS surveys people in "group quarters" and has a larger sample size, which allows demographic and geographic disaggregation of data, while the CPS is an older survey, including data from 1940 on.

Youth disconnection in 25 largest US metro areas

Below is a list of United States metropolitan areas sorted by their rates of disconnected youth, as well as youth disconnection rates by race and ethnicity in metro areas where the population of that racial or ethnic group is sufficiently large for robust estimates.

title: Tendring First

text:
Tendring First is a local political party operating throughout Tendring, Essex, England. They field candidates for Tendring District Council, Frinton and Walton Town Council and Essex County Council. They currently have one district councillor on Tendring District Council and have control of Frinton & Walton Town Council with eight councillors. They had 1 county councillor on Essex County Council between 2013 and 2016. They have not stood a candidate in a parliamentary election.

Background
Tendring First was founded by the, then leader of Tendring District Council, Terry Allen, after he, along with fellow Conservative Party district councillors, Peter Balbirnie and Bernard Leatherdale and, Walton and Frinton town councillor and Mayor of Frinton Jack Robertson were all suspended from the Conservative Party.  It is unclear why the four councillors were suspended, but their suspension just weeks before the Tendring District Council elections meant they would be unable to stand again as Conservatives. Although party leader Terry Allen was unsuccessful in his re-election bid with Tendring First in 2007, the party was able to secure 10 of the 60 district council seats. After the election, Terry Allen made it clear that Tendring First would actively work to oppose a Conservative administration and would work with opposition parties to form an anti-Conservative administration. Tendring First were subsequently joined by Essex County Councillors Mark Cossens and Pierre Oxley who had earlier been suspended from the Conservative Party.

Election Results

District Council elections

County Council elections

Tendring First have been represented on Essex County Council from its foundation to the 2009 election, where both sitting members lost their seats to Conservatives. In 2013 Oxley regained his Clacton East seat before he resigned after given a suspended jail term for fraud.

title: Opera Company of Middlebury

text:
Opera Company of Middlebury (OCM) is an American opera company based in Middlebury, Vermont. It was founded in 2004.

OCM presents two opera's per year at Town Hall Theatre, a venue that OCM played "a significant role" in helping restore. All productions are presented in their original language with surtitles projected over the stage.

In October 2018 OCM took Donizetti's L'Elisir d'Amore on tour to three Vermont cities. OCM also presents the Metropolitan Opera HD Broadcasts in conjunction with Town Hall Theatre; each opera is preceded an hour ahead by a talk about it by an OCM board member.

History
The company was established in 2004. The OCM’s first performance was Bizet's Carmen, which was adapted by Douglas Anderson and featured Meredith Parsons McComb, Stephanie Weiss, Yonghoon Lee and Steven Marking. Lee returned the following year in the company's second production, Tosca, with Beth Thompson.

The Town Hall Theatre underwent a $5 million renovation from 2005 to 2008. During the renovation, the OCM shifted its performances to the Vergennes Opera House and artist Fran Bull's Brandon studio.  The Company returned to the Town Hall Theatre in June 2008 with Puccini's La bohème .

The company now annually presents two productions (in June and October) under the artistic direction of Douglas Anderson. Its production manager is Mary Longey. After their 2019 production of Tosca the OCM did not do any live performances until their production of The Maid of Orleans in October of 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. For 2020, OCM produced a version of Candide which was filmed in sections with videographer Tim Joy, and included narration by former Vermont Governor Jim Douglas.

title: 1931–32 Lancashire Cup

text:
The 1931–32 Lancashire Cup was the twenty-fourth occasion on which the Lancashire Cup competition had been held. Once again a new name was to be added to the trophy this year as it was the turn of Salford, who won the trophy for the first time by beating neighbours and close rivals Swinton in the final by 10-8.

Background
At the time of the great schism in 1895, Salford had initially remained loyal to the Rugby Football Union but in April 1896 the board met and only three members opposed the motion to switch to the new code. The change of heart was partly brought about by the sudden lack of “interesting” or derby fixtures for the club.

Competition and results
The number of teams entering this year’s competition remained at 13 but from this season the fixture format was changed. There was only one bye in the first round but now also a “blank” or “dummy” fixture. This also resulted in one bye in the second round.

Round 1
Involved  6 matches (with one bye and one “blank” fixture) and 13 clubs

Round 1 – replays
Involved  2 matches

Round 2 – quarterfinals
Involved 3 matches (with one bye) and 7 clubs

Round 3 – semifinals
Involved 2 matches and 4 clubs

Final
The final was played at the Cliff, Broughton, Salford, (historically in the county of Lancashire) and on the banks of the River Irwell. The attendance was 26,471 and receipts £1,030. The attendance was a new record beating the 25,656 of 1924.

Teams and scorers

Scoring - Try = three (3) points - Goal = two (2) points - Drop goal = two (2) points

The road to success

Notes
The first Lancashire Cup match played at the new ground
The attendance of 26,471 was a new record for a Lancashire Cup final attendance
The Cliff was the home ground of Broughton Rangers from 1913 and until they moved out to Belle Vue in 1933. In 1938 Manchester United  moved in and used it as both a match ground for academy teams etc. and a general a training ground. They purchased the ground outright in 1951 and downgraded it to Junior team use in the early 2000s

title: Brad Shapiro

text:
Bradley Aaron Shapiro (born August 15, 1938) is an American musician, songwriter and record producer, whose credits have included work with Wilson Pickett, Millie Jackson, James Brown, and the J. Geils Band.

In the late 1950s, he played bass guitar in a local band, the Redcoats, in Miami, Florida, whose singer was Steve Alaimo.  After Alaimo launched a solo career, the band split up, but Shapiro remained involved in the music business and received his first songwriting credit in 1965 on "I Can't See Him Again" by the Twans, co-written with Henry Stone.  In 1967, his song "Girl I Got News For You", co-written with  Bobby Puccetti and co-produced by Shapiro and Alaimo, was recorded by Benny Latimore, and over the next few years his songs were recorded by a number of artists on T.K. labels in Miami, including Betty Wright and Clarence Reid. He often wrote and co-produced with Alaimo.

In 1970, he and Dave Crawford began working together at Atlantic Records and co-produced the debut album by The J. Geils Band. The following year, he and Crawford co-produced Wilson Pickett's "Don't Knock My Love" in Muscle Shoals, which Shapiro co-wrote with the singer.  The record reached no.1 on the R&B chart.  Shapiro continued to work with Pickett, as well as with Johnny Adams, Sam & Dave, Bettye LaVette and others for Atlantic.

Shapiro then became involved with producing the leading artists on the New York–based Spring Records, including Joe Simon, Garland Green and Millie Jackson. The most successful collaboration was with Jackson; the two co-produced and co-wrote several tracks on her gold albums Caught Up (1974) and Still Caught Up (1975). He went on to work with Millie Jackson for some years on a series of albums and major R&B hits until the Spring label closed in the mid-1980s.

In the mid-1970s, he co-founded the Kayvette record label, which issued records by Jackie Moore, Otis Clay, and the Facts of Life (formerly The Gospel Truth).  Shapiro produced James Brown's albums The Original Disco Man in 1979 and  People in 1980.
