Gábor Ferenc Király (ur. 1 kwietnia 1976 w Szombathely) – węgierski piłkarz, bramkarz od 2015 roku występujący w Szombathelyi Haladás, do którego trafił z Fulham F.C. Słynie ze swoich długich, szarych spodni dresowych, w których występuje w trakcie meczów.

Przebieg kariery

Kariera klubowa
Rozpoczynał swoją karierę w lokalnym klubie Szombathelyi Haladás w 1993 roku, by po czterech latach odejść do zespołu 1. Bundesligi, Herthy Berlin. Węgier miał spore problemy z wywalczeniem sobie miejsca w podstawowej jedenastce stołecznego klubu, który nie wygrał siedmiu kolejnych meczów z rzędu. Wreszcie, 28 września 1997 zastąpił między słupkami Christiana Fiedlera w meczu z 1. FC Köln. Tego samego dnia Hertha zdobyła pierwsze trzy punkty w sezonie. Pozycja Királya była od tego czasu niezagrożona i jego rywal Fiedler nie wystąpił przez kolejne dwa lata w meczu ligowym. Dopiero w lutym 2000 roku Węgier opuścił siedem spotkań ze względu na kontuzję. W sezonie 1999–2000 rozegrał z kolei dziesięć gier w Lidze Mistrzów.

Po objęciu funkcji szkoleniowca zespołu przez Hansa Meyera w zimowym okresie rozgrywek w sezonie 2003–2004, Fiedler otrzymał szansę zaprezentowania swoich umiejętności i jego długoletni węgierski oponent wreszcie musiał zadowolić się miejscem na ławce rezerwowych. Klub zagroził, że kontrakt Királya zostanie przedłużony tylko wtedy, gdy piłkarz zgodzi się na zmniejszenie zarobków. W rundzie wiosennej 2004 rozegrał swój ostatni mecz w lidze niemieckiej, spędzając zaledwie 14 minut na murawie. Była to potyczka przeciwko zespołowi, z którym rozpoczynał swoją karierę za granicą, a więc 1. FC Köln.

Po Węgra zgłosiło się następnie Crystal Palace, ale klub przed startem sezonu 2004-2005 sięgnął także po Argentyńczyka Juliána Speroniego, który został obdarzony większym kredytem zaufania podczas okresu przygotowawczego do zmagań w angielskiej Premier League. Király zadebiutował w klubie w ramach rozgrywek Carling Cup przeciwko Hartlepool United. Później zaczął regularnie występować w wyjściowej jedenastce londyńskiego klubu w związku ze słabą formą Speroniego. Grał bez przerwy przez 12 miesięcy aż do okresu świątecznego w 2005 roku, kiedy dano mu czas na odpoczynek. Rozegrał 32 kolejne mecze w Premier League zanim Crystal Palace zostali zdegradowani do Championship po zaledwie jednym sezonie spędzonym w najwyższej klasie rozgrywkowej. Po powrocie do bramki Crystal Palace rozegrał aż 43 mecze w sezonie 2005–2006 w Championship.

16 maja 2006 wystąpił do klubu o wystawienie go na liście transferowej. Po transferze Scotta Flindersa, wszystko wskazywało na to, że w krótkim czasie opuści klub z Selhurst Park. Po świetnym występie w przegranym 3:1 spotkaniu z Anglią, w którym obronił rzut karny egzekwowany przez Franka Lamparda, jego szanse na powrót do Premier League znacznie wzrosły. Dyrektor Palace Bob Dowie powiedział wówczas, że do klubu nie napłynęła jednak żadna oferta za piłkarza i ten zmuszony był rozpocząć kolejny, trzeci już sezon w zespole.

Nowy menedżer klubu Peter Taylor uczynił z Węgra golkipera numer 1, a Flinders został wypożyczony. Po powrocie otrzymał jednak szansę, choć ostatecznie rozegrał zaledwie dwa mecze, by Király znów znalazł uznanie w oczach Anglika. Na przełomie listopada i grudnia 2006 również wypożyczony na dwa tygodnie do West Hamu United, choć nie rozegrał ani jednego spotkania, spędzając trzy mecze na ławce rezerwowych.

Po powrocie do Crystal Palace znów został wypożyczony do klubu Premier League i wylądował w Aston Villi na miesiąc w związku z kontuzjami Thomasa Sørensena i Stuarta Taylora. Wreszcie po ośmiu miesiącach dane mu było zagrać w spotkaniu najwyższej klasy rozgrywkowej. Zadebiutował w przegranym na własnym boisku 1:0 meczu z Boltonem 16 grudnia 2006 roku. Jego ostatnim występem podczas okresu wypożyczenia było starcie z Manchesterem United na Old Trafford w FA Cup 7 stycznia 2007 roku. Węgier popełnił wówczas kosztowny błąd i podarował gola gospodarzom, którzy wygrali 2:1. 12 stycznia znów był do dyspozycji Petera Taylora. Pod koniec tego miesiąca powrócił do pierwszego składu swojego zespołu, a Crystal Palace zremisowało bezbramkowo z Sunderlandem. Speroni do końca sezonu był w stanie zagrać tylko trzy razy w związku z dobrą dyspozycją doświadczonego Madziara. Po ostatnim spotkaniu w rozgrywkach Taylor przyznał, że Gábor opuścił klub na tydzień przed ostatnią kolejką.

W Anglii żartowano, iż bramkarz występuje w spodniach od piżamy, które są jego cechą rozpoznawalną. Podczas gry na Wyspach tylko dwukrotnie wystąpił w innych spodenkach, raz w czasie, kiedy był związany z Crystal Palace, a raz w barwach Aston Villi. W przegranym 4:1 meczu z Chelsea na Stamford Bridge został ośmieszony przez Mateję Kežmana, który pokonał go strzałem między nogami. Jedynym oficjalnym meczem w barwach Herthy, w którym Király wystąpił w krótkich spodenkach był mecz przed własną publicznością z Dyskobolią Grodzisk Wielkopolski w Pucharze UEFA w 2003 roku. Hiszpański arbiter tłumaczył wówczas, że bramkarz nie może występować w treningowym stroju.

30 maja 2007 roku podpisał kontrakt z Burnley. W styczniu 2009 roku został wypożyczony do Bayeru 04 Leverkusen w związku z problemami drugiego bramkarza tego klubu. W czerwcu bieżącego roku opuścił Burnley wraz ze Steve'em Jonesem i Alanem Mahonem po wygaśnięciu kontraktu. Kilka dni później podpisał trzyletni kontrakt z TSV 1860 Monachium.

26 sierpnia 2014 roku podpisał kontrakt z Angielskim klubem Fulham F.C., występującym w Championship.

1 lipca 2015 został piłkarzem Szombathelyi Haladás, gdzie zaczynał swoją karierę zawodowego bramkarza.

Kariera reprezentacyjna
Wystąpił w 101 meczach reprezentacji Węgier, a debiutował w niej w 1998 roku. Był jedynym graczem w kadrze, który rozegrał wszystkie dziesięć kolejek eliminacji Mistrzostw Świata 2006. 14 czerwca 2016 został najstarszym piłkarzem kiedykolwiek grającym na Mistrzostwach Europy w Piłce Nożnej. 15 listopada 2016 roku po raz ostatni wystąpił w reprezentacji Węgier w przegranym 0–2 meczu towarzyskim przeciwko Szwecji.

Full Season NFL From The Iceman
The Iceman's PERFECT 5-0 Super Bowl LII card featured a play on the total, as well as a handful of player performance props. He's made a small fortune exploiting weak lines in the props and futures markets, and he sees INCREDIBLE value with one particular team to win next year's Super Bowl.
YESTERDAY'S PLAYS
Wake Forest vs Virginia UNDER 129 -110 Premium 63-55 Win 100 Show
This is a 5* play on under.
The Cavs have won nine straight head to head meetings against Wake Forest, and the Demon Deacons scored an average of 55 points in those games. The last two meetings went over the total, but the number in those games was far lower than the total we see here today. The under is 4-1 in the Demon Deacons last five overall, and the under is 7-2-1 in the Cavaliers last 10 games following a straight up win. The Cavs have played three home games in conference play, and all three of those games fell well short of 129 points.
GL,
Watford vs Newcastle United OVER 2½ -125 Premium 1-1 Loss -125 Show
This is a 5* play on Over.
At this point in the Premier League season, a match between two teams at the bottom of the table can be just as exciting as a match between two of the top teams. Watford is just two points clear of relegation, and Newcastle is currently tied with Burnley and just one point clear of last place Norwich. That makes this a must win for both these teams as they look to aviod relegation. Newcastle has the advantage, with deep pockets they have been buying players to improve their squad. Watford has scored at least one goal in seven of their last eight matches, and they have conceded at least two goals in seven of those eight games. This one should be a thriller.
Patriots vs Bills Patriots +4 -103 Premium 17-47 Loss -103 Show
This is an 8* play on NE.
The Patriots ran for 222 yards and two TDs in a 14-0 win in a snow storm in Buffalo in December, and that game exposed the flaws of this Bills team. They rely too heavily on the arm of Josh Allen, and it cost them. They likely won't have to deal with snow this time around, but the forecast calls for temperatures of -12. The Patriots are 15-3 ATS in their last 18 meetings in Buffalo, and they are getting more points in this game than they were in their last visit to Orchard Park. In a game that has a high probability of being decided by a field goal, I am getting the team with the better coach and I am getting 4+ points? Sign me up.
Raiders vs Bengals Raiders +5½ -109 Premium 19-26 Loss -109 Show
This is a 5* play on Vegas.
Everyone is talking about Joe Burrow and the Bengals. They won three of their final four games, clinching the division. Keep in mind only one of those wins came by more than five points. The Raiders aren't getting much hype at all, despite ending the season on a four game winning streak. Joe Burrow might be the more talented QB (remains to be seen), but at 30 years of age Derek Carr has 30 game winning drives under his belt. He holds an NFL record with 24 fourth quarter comebacks. The Bengals are 0-6-1 ATS in their last seven Wildcard games, and the fact that they are favored by more than a FG suggests that recency bias is at play here. I'll take the points with the veteran QB on a team with the exact same record.
PICKS IN PROGRESS
Jan 16 '22, 1:00 PM
Play Type: Premium Pick
NFL | Eagles vs Bucs
Play on: Eagles +9½ -119 at pinnacle [Lost: -$119]
This is a 5* play on Over 17.5 (team total).
The Bucs are a 7.5 point favorite at home versus Philly, and with all the injuries for Tampa this game might be closer than some would expect. The Bucs beat the Eagles 28-22 in Philly during the regular season, and Leonard Fournette ran for 81 yards and two TDs on 22 carries. Fournette won't play in this game due to a hamstring injury. Antonio Brown caught nine passes for 93 yards and a TD, and we know he's no longer on the team. Mike Evans is the last man standing in what was a stacked receiving corps, and with a thin backfield he should get plenty of work today. The Eagles offense ranks below average in the league scoring just over 22 points per game, but in the 11 games since losing to Tampa, they have averaged 28 points per game.
Pick Released on Jan 14 at 03:39 am
Play Type: Top Premium Pick
NFL | 49ers vs Cowboys
Play on: UNDER 51 -107
This is a 10* GOY play on Under.
The Cowboys have looked like Super Bowl favorites at times, but they haven't been at their best lately. Don't be fooled by their big win over the Eagles, in a game that Philly rested all their starters. Perhaps a more accurate indicator would be their home loss to Arizona a week earlier. They host a San Francisco team that poses a similar challenge. The Niners are going to try to punch the Cowboys in the mouth. What that means is, they will look to run the ball and control the clock, keeping the ball out of the hands of Dak Prescott. The Niners have failed to reach the total in five of their last six playoff games. The under is 8-3 in the Cowboys last 11 games overall, and Dallas is 1-5 ATS in their last six playoff games. The total for this contest is higher than it had been in each of the last six head to head meetings.

Death of Thomas Fitzsimons, U.S. Merchant & Statesman
Thomas Fitzsimons, American merchant and statesman of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, dies in Philadelphia on August 26, 1811. He represents Pennsylvania in the Continental Congress, the Constitutional Convention and the United States House of Representatives.
Fitzsimons is born in Ireland in 1741. In the mid-1750s his family immigrates to Philadelphia, where his father dies soon thereafter. He has enough education that he begins work as a clerk in a mercantile house. He marries Catherine Meade on November 23, 1761 and forms a business partnership with her brother George. Their firm, which specializes in the West Indies trade, operates successfully for over 41 years.
The firm is soon hit by the new revenue measures created to help support the finances of the British Empire, including the much reviled Stamp Act of 1765. Concerned with these ideas, Fitzsimons becomes active in the Irish merchant community in Philadelphia. He is a founding member of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick in 1771 and later, in 1774, a steering committee organized to protest the Coercive Acts.
When Pennsylvania begins mobilizing and organizing a militia to fight the British, Fitzsimons is soon involved. He serves as captain of a company of home guards under the command of Colonel John Caldwalader. Initially his company serves as part of the soldiers who man posts along the New Jersey coast. His unit later serves as part of the reserve at the Battle of Trenton in 1776. Later in the war, he served on the Pennsylvania Council of Safety and heads a board to oversee the newly formed Pennsylvania Navy.
Fitzsimons enters active politics as a delegate to the Continental Congress in 1782 and 1783. He is a member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives from 1786 until 1795. He is also a delegate to the U.S. Constitutional Convention in 1787. Although not a leading member of that convention, he supports a strong national government, the end of slavery, the United States Congress's powers to impose a tariff on imports and exports, the granting the House of Representatives, and power in equal to the United States Senate in making treaties. He is one of only two Catholic signers of the Constitution of the United States, the other being Daniel Carroll of Maryland.
After the Constitution is established, he serves in the first three sessions of the House of Representatives as a Federalist, where he favors protective tariffs and a strong navy, co-drafting the Naval Act of 1794 authorizing the original six frigates of the United States Navy. He fails to win re-election in 1794. This was partially attributed to public opinion turning against the Federalist Party over the forceful suppression of the Whiskey Rebellion. Although he never holds elective office again, he serves in 1798 as head of the committee of merchants overseeing the subscription-loan to build a warship at private expense for use in the Quasi-War.
In 1796, FitzSimons, along with James Innes of Virginia, is appointed by President John Adams to serve as one of two American members on the five-man debt commission charged under Article VI of the Jay Treaty with examining the claims of British subjects unable to collect debts incurred by Americans prior to the American Revolution. FitzSimons, Innes and Samuel Sitgreaves, who replaces Innes upon the latter's death, become annoyed with the arguments used by their British counterparts to inflate the claims total. FitzSimons and Sitgreaves angrily and permanently seceded from the board in July 1799. The claims are eventually disposed of by a lump-sum payment, agreed upon by United States Minister to Britain Rufus King with British Foreign Secretary Robert Banks Jenkinson and approved by President Thomas Jefferson and the Senate in 1802.
While withdrawing from politics, Fitzsimons remains active in civic and business affairs. He serves as president of Philadelphia's Chamber of Commerce, as a trustee of the University of Pennsylvania, Director of the Delaware Insurance Company and a director of the Bank of North America from 1781–1803. He is a founder of the bank and supports efforts to found Georgetown College. He also helps found the Insurance Company of North America.
Fitzsimons dies on August 26, 1811, in Philadelphia, where he is buried in the cemetery of St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, which is in present-day Independence National Historical Park.

Birth of James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore
James Cardinal Gibbons, American prelate of the Catholic Church, is born in Baltimore, Maryland on July 23, 1834 to parents Thomas and Bridget (née Walsh) Gibbons who had emigrated from Toormakeady, County Mayo. In his role as Archbishop of Baltimore from 1877 to 1921, he serves as a bridge between Roman Catholicism and American Catholic values.
Gibbons is taken by his parents from Baltimore to Ireland in 1837. Following his father's death in 1847, at the height of The Great Hunger, his mother moves the family back to the United States. He spends the next eight years as a grocer in New Orleans. In 1855 he enters a seminary in Baltimore, becoming a priest in 1861. He rises through the ranks of the Roman Catholic Church quickly, and by 1868 he is the youngest bishop in the United States. During a short stay in North Carolina, he writes The Faith of Our Fathers (1876), a defense of Catholicism that proves exceptionally popular, selling more than two million copies. He is elevated to Archbishop of Baltimore in 1877. He assumes a leadership role as the presiding prelate at the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore in 1884, and in 1886 he is made a cardinal by Pope Leo XIII.
As a leader of the Catholic Church hierarchy in the United States, Gibbons is outspoken in his praise for American democratic institutions and he advocates Americanization — the rapid assimilation of Catholic immigrants into American culture and institutions — both as a means to counter Protestant Americans' suspicions toward Catholics and to avoid the fragmentation of the Catholic Church in the United States along ethnic lines. He is also sympathetic to the cause of organized labour and works to overcome suspicions within the Catholic Church toward the Knights of Labor, which has been considered a secret society by many clergymen.
On education, as on other social issues, Gibbons seeks ways of harmonizing the tenets of the Catholic faith with the principles of American democracy. He enters the controversy over control of parochial and public schools in 1891 when he defends Archbishop John Ireland's experimental plan for cooperation between Catholic and public schools in the Minnesota towns of Faribault and Stillwater. To the dismay of conservative bishops, he refuses to condemn public education and encourages efforts to find common ground between the two systems. The Faribault-Stillwater plan remains controversial despite Gibbons's support, and acrimony between the plan's supporters and conservative opponents lingers until 1893.
During World War I, Gibbons is instrumental in the establishment of the National Catholic War Council, and afterwards supports the League of Nations. Although initially opposed to women's suffrage, when the Nineteenth Amendment passes Gibbons urges women to exercise their right to vote "…not only as a right but as a strict social duty."
James Cardinal Gibbons dies at the age of 86 in Baltimore on March 24, 1921. Throughout his career he is a respected and influential public figure. Although nonpartisan, he takes positions on a variety of foreign and domestic policy issues and is personally acquainted with every U.S. president from Andrew Johnson to Woodrow Wilson.

National Day of Commemoration 2017
President Michael D. Higgins and Taoiseach Leo Varadkar lead the ceremony to mark the National Day of Commemoration at the Royal Hospital Kilmainham in Kilmainham, Dublin on July 9, 2017. The event is a multi-faith service of prayer and a military service honouring all Irish people who died in past wars or on service with the United Nations. Events are also held in Cork, Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Kilkenny and Waterford.
The National Day of Commemoration is held on the Sunday closest to July 11, the anniversary of the date the truce was signed in 1921 to end the Irish War of Independence.
Leaders from Christian, Coptic Christian, Jewish and Islamic denominations read or sing prayers and readings, and President Higgins lays a laurel wreath. The service is observed by more than 1,000 guests, including Government Ministers, the Council of State, which advises the Taoiseach, members of the judiciary, members of the diplomatic corps, TDs and Senators, representatives of ex-servicemen's organisations and relatives of the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising.
The national flag is lowered to half-mast while the "Last Post" and "Reveille" are sounded. After a minute of silence, a gun salute is sounded and the flag is raised again before the national anthem is played with a fly-by by three Pilatus PC-9 aircraft.
The Army band of the 1st Brigade and pipers play music including "Limerick's Lament" and "A Celtic Lament" as guests arrive at the quadrangle of the former British Army veterans' hospital, now the Irish Museum of Modern Art.
The prayer service begins with Imam Sheikh Hussein Halawa of the Islamic Cultural Centre of Ireland, father of Ibrahim Halawa, who is in prison in Cairo, singing verses from the Quran in Arabic and praying in English, "I ask Allah, the Mighty, the Lord, to bless our country, Ireland, and give the people of our country a zeal for justice and strength for forbearance."
Soloist Sharon Lyons sings hymns between prayers and readings from all denominations, ending with Rabbi Zalman Lent: "May the efforts and sacrifice of those we honour today be transformed into the blessing of people throughout the world."
Speaking to reporters, Chief of Staff of the Defence Forces Vice Admiral Mark Mellett says more than 650 personnel are serving in eleven countries and on the Mediterranean Sea. "In the Defence Forces we have over 80 people who have given their lives in the cause of peace internationally, and I think it's a sign of a State that recognises those who give this service," he says. "The military of our State serve the political and serve the people. And it's this loyalty to the State which is actually critical, and I'm delighted that we have a day like this."
Mellett's views are echoed by former sergeant Denis Barry, who says 47 Irish soldiers died in Lebanon and it is important to pay respects for that sacrifice. "None of us who served ever thought we would see the day we could travel in Lebanon without weapons, heavy armaments or flak jackets." That United Nations mission paid off, he says.
Former British soldier Ron Hammond says the event reflects positive developments, such as the creation of the veterans' Union of British and Irish Forces. He served from 1960 to 1980 in the Royal Irish Fusiliers and Royal Irish Rangers, spending time in Germany, Canada, Yemen and north and south Africa. He joined the British rather than the Irish forces because at the time "a home posting in the Defence Forces was Collins Barracks and an overseas posting was the Curragh encampment."

The Founding of Clann na Poblachta
Clann na Poblachta, a radical new republican party, is founded in Barry's Hotel, Dublin, on July 6, 1946 by former members of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) who are very unhappy at the treatment of IRA prisoners during "The Emergency" and who are prepared to try and engage in parliamentary politics. The party lasts 19 years but fails in its objectives due to internal feuds and lack of unity.
The group includes people such as Con Lehane and former IRA Chief of Staff Seán MacBride. Some members of Fianna Fáil also join the party, many of whom have become disillusioned with the leadership of Éamon de Valera, the party's approach to partition and its economic policies.
Clann na Poblachta realises that it has to place an emphasis on practical improvements to living standards and welfare issues such as public health. These policies attract a number of younger members such as Noël Browne and Jack McQuillan. One potential problem for the future is that almost the entire Provisional Executive is resident in Dublin and the party has no organisation in the six counties of Northern Ireland.
In 1948, Éamon de Valera dissolves the Dáil and calls an election for February. Clann na Poblachta wins only ten seats in the 1948 Irish general election, fewer than the breakthrough expected, caused in part by the error of running multiple candidates in many constituencies. The party believes there will be a landslide in their favour like the 1918 Westminster election but 48 of their 93 candidates lose their deposits. The party wins 13.3% of the vote but only 6.8% of the seats. Of their ten Teachtaí Dála (TD), six are elected in Dublin constituencies, two in Tipperary and one each in Cavan and Roscommon.
The party surprises everyone by joining the first Inter-Party Government with Fine Gael on condition that Richard Mulcahy, against whom many members had fought during the Irish Civil War, does not become Taoiseach. As a result, John A. Costello becomes Taoiseach without being leader of his party, the only time to date that this has happened. Seán MacBride becomes Minister for External Affairs and Noël Browne is named Minister for Health.
The party is the driving force behind the 26 counties exiting the Commonwealth of Nations and the all-party Anti-Partition Campaign.
The controversy of the "Mother and Child Scheme," a progressive healthcare programme opposed by the Catholic Church, helps bring down the government and leads to the disintegration of the party. Many of the party's TDs resign in solidarity with Noël Browne and his scheme, so the official party wins only two seats in the 1951 Irish general election.
In 1954, Clann na Poblachta agrees to give outside support to the Fine Gael-led government. In this election, three TDs are returned – MacBride, John Tully and John Connor. Controversy dogs the party as Liam Kelly, a Northern-based Clann na Poblachta senator, is also active in Saor Uladh and leads a number of military raids in County Fermanagh and County Tyrone against the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC).
Clann na Poblachta withdraws its support from the Government in late 1956 due to the its anti-IRA stance. The party wins only one seat at the 1957 Irish general election with MacBride being defeated by Fianna Fáil. John Tully remains the only Clann TD until his retirement in 1961, after he loses his seat. However, Joseph Barron is elected in Dublin South-Central on his fourth attempt.
In 1965, Tully wins back his seat but he is in effect an Independent as the party only stands four candidates. There had been negotiations between MacBride and Brendan Corish, the new Labour Party leader about forming a political alliance but this does not come to fruition.
A special Ard Fheis, held on July 10, 1965, agrees to dissolve Clan na Poblachta.

The Registration Act 1704 Comes Into Force
The Registration Act 1704 (2 Ann c.7; long title An Act for registering the Popish Clergy), an Act of the Parliament of Ireland, comes into force on June 23, 1704 after receiving royal assent on March 4, 1704. It requires all Catholic priests in Ireland to register at their local magistrates' court, to pay two £50 bonds to ensure good behaviour, and to stay in the county where they registered.
The act is one of a series of Penal Laws passed after the Williamite War to protect the victorious Protestant Ascendancy from a church seen as loyal to the defeated Jacobites and to foreign powers. Its second section states that if an Irish Catholic priest is converted to the established Church of Ireland, he will receive a £20 stipend, levied on the residents of the area where he had last practised. Unregistered clergy are to depart Ireland before July 20, 1704 and any remaining after June 24, 1705 are to be deported. Any that returned are to be punished as under the Banishment Act of 1697 (as high treason). These are sought out by freelance "priest hunters."
A 1704 act (4 Anne c.2) amends the Registration Act, Banishment Act and Popery Act, to close a loophole whereby they had not applied to priests ordained after the original act first came into force. The 1704 act, originally set to expire after the 1708–1709 session of Parliament, is made permanent in that session. The Roman Catholic Relief Act 1782 provides that these acts' provisions cannot apply to a priest who has registered and taken an oath of allegiance. Daniel O'Connell drafts a comprehensive Catholic emancipation bill in the 1820s which would have repealed all these acts; in the event the Roman Catholic Relief Act 1829 is more limited and the acts are not formally repealed until the Statute Law Revision (Ireland) Act 1878 is passed on August 13, 1878.

Birth of Frederick Temple Hamilton-Temple-Blackwood, Lord Dufferin
Frederick Temple Hamilton-Temple-Blackwood, 1st Marquess of Dufferin and Ava, British diplomat who is a distinguished Governor General of Canada and Viceroy and Governor-General of India and holder of Clandeboye Estate in Bangor, County Down, is born in Florence, Grand Duchy of Tuscany, Italy on June 21, 1826.
The son of Price Blackwood, 4th Baron Dufferin and Claneboye, Blackwood is educated at Eton College and Christ Church, Oxford. In his youth he is a popular figure in the court of Queen Victoria, and becomes well known to the public after publishing a best-selling account of his travels in the North Atlantic.
Lord Dufferin's long career in public service begins as a commissioner to Syria in 1860, where his skillful diplomacy maintains British interests while preventing France from instituting a client state in Lebanon. After his success in Syria, he serves in the Government of the United Kingdom as William Ewart Gladstone's Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Under-Secretary of State for War. He is created Earl of Dufferin in 1871.
In 1872 Lord Dufferin becomes the third Governor General of Canada, bolstering imperial ties in the early years of the Dominion. After leaving Ottawa in 1878 at the end of his term, he returns to Great Britain to continue his diplomatic career. He serves as British ambassador to Imperial Russia from 1879 to 1881. In 1881 he becomes ambassador to the Ottoman Empire and deals with the problems raised by the British occupation of the Ottoman dependency of Egypt. In 1884 he reaches the pinnacle of his diplomatic career when he succeeds George Robinson, 1st Marquess of Ripon as Viceroy and Governor-General of India and placates the British community there, which had been antagonized by Ripon's reforms.
By the annexation of Burma (Myanmar) in 1886, Lord Dufferin consolidates British territories. For his services he is made Marquess of Dufferin and Ava when, in 1888, he retires from India. He then spends three years (1889–91) as Britain's ambassador to Italy and four years (1892–96) as ambassador to France. He retires in 1896.
Following his retirement from the diplomatic service, Lord Dufferin's final years are marred by personal tragedy and a misguided attempt to secure his family's financial position. In 1897, worried about the family financial situation, he is persuaded to become chairman of the London and Globe Finance Corporation, a mining promotion and holding company controlled by Whitaker Wright. It subsequently transpires that Wright is a consummate fraudster and the firm goes bankrupt, although Lord Dufferin is not guilty of any deception and his moral standing remains unaffected. Soon after the misfortune, his eldest son, Lord Ava, is killed in the Second Boer War and another son is badly wounded.
Following the death of his son and in poor health, Lord Dufferin returns to his country house at Clandeboye, near Bangor, County Down, and dies there on February 12, 1902.
Lord Dufferin's biographer Richard Davenport-Hines says he was "imaginative, sympathetic, warm-hearted, and gloriously versatile." He was an effective leader in Lebanon, Canada and India, averted war with Russia, and annexed Burma. He was careless with money but charming in high society on three continents.

Founding of Clan na Gael in New York City
The Clan na Gael, an Irish republican organization in the United States in the late 19th and 20th centuries, is founded by John Devoy, Daniel Cohalan, and Joseph McGarrity in New York City on June 20, 1867. It is the successor to the Fenian Brotherhood and a sister organization to the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB). It has shrunk to a small fraction of its former size in the 21st century.
As Irish immigration to the United States begins to increase in the 18th century many Irish organizations are formed. In the later part of the 1780s, a strong Irish patriot character begins to grow in these organizations and amongst recently arrived Irish immigrants.
In 1858, the IRB is founded in Dublin by James Stephens. In response to the establishment of the IRB in Dublin, a sister organization is founded in New York City, the Fenian Brotherhood, led by John O'Mahony. This arm of Fenian activity in America produces a surge in radicalism among groups of Irish immigrants, many of whom had recently emigrated from Ireland during and after the Great Famine.
In October 1865, the Fenian Philadelphia Congress meets and appoints the Irish Republican Government in the United States. Meanwhile in Ireland, the IRB newspaper The Irish People is raided by the police and the IRB leadership is imprisoned. Another abortive uprising occurs in 1867, but the British remain in control.
After the 1865 crackdown in Ireland, the American organization begins to fracture over what to do next. Made up of veterans of the American Civil War, a Fenian army is formed. While O'Mahony and his supporters want to remain focused on supporting rebellions in Ireland, a competing faction, called the Roberts, or senate wing, wants this Fenian Army to attack British bases in Canada. The resulting Fenian raids strain U.S.–British relations. The level of American support for the Fenian cause begins to diminish as the Fenians are seen as a threat to stability in the region.
After 1867, the Irish Republican Brotherhood headquarters in Manchester chooses to support neither of the existing feuding factions, but instead promotes a renewed Irish republican organization in America, to be named Clan na Gael.
According to John Devoy in 1924, Jerome James Collins founds what is then called the Napper Tandy Club in New York on June 20, 1867, Wolfe Tone's birthday. This club expands into others and at one point at a picnic in 1870 is named the Clan na Gael by Sam Cavanagh. This is the same Cavanagh who killed the informer George Clark, who had exposed a Fenian pike-making operation in Dublin to the police.
Collins, who dies in 1881 on the disastrous Jeannette Expedition to the North Pole, is a science editor on the New York Herald, who had left England in 1866 when a plot he was involved in to free the Fenian prisoners at Pentonville Prison was uncovered by the police. Collins believes at the time of the founding in 1867 that the two feuding Fenians branches should patch things up.
The objective of Clan na Gael is to secure an independent Ireland and to assist the Irish Republican Brotherhood in achieving this aim. It becomes the largest single financier of both the Easter Rising and the Irish War of Independence.
Clan na Gael continues to provide support and aid to the Irish Republican Army (IRA) after it is outlawed in Ireland by Éamon de Valera in 1936 but becomes less active in the 1940s and 1950s. However the organization grows in the 1970s. The organization plays a key part in NORAID and is a prominent source of finance and weapons for the Provisional Irish Republican Army during the Troubles in Northern Ireland in 1969–1998.
The Clan na Gael still exists today, much changed from the days of the Catalpa rescue. In 1987 the policy of abstentionism is abandoned. As recently as 1997 another internal split occurs as a result of the IRA shift away from the use of physical force as a result of the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. The two factions are known to insiders as Provisional Clan na Gael (allied to Provisional Sinn Féin/IRA) and Republican Clan na Gael (associated with both Republican Sinn Féin/Continuity IRA and 32 County Sovereignty Movement/Real IRA, though primarily the former). These have been listed as terrorist organizations at various times by the UK Government.

Éamon de Valera Elected 3rd President of Ireland
The 1959 Irish presidential election is held on June 17, 1959. Éamon de Valera, then Taoiseach, is elected as President of Ireland. A referendum proposed by de Valera to replace the electoral system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote with first-past-the-post voting which is held on the same day is defeated by 48.2% to 52.8%.
Under Article 12 of the Constitution of Ireland, a candidate for president may be nominated by:
at least twenty of the then 207 serving members of the Houses of the Oireachtas, or
at least four of 31 councils of the administrative counties, including county boroughs, or
themselves, in the case of a former or retiring president.
Outgoing president Seán T. O'Kelly had served two terms, and is ineligible to serve again. On April 27, the Minister for Local Government, Neal Blaney, signs the ministerial order opening nominations, with noon on May 19 as the deadline for nominations, and June 17 set as the date for a contest. All Irish citizens on the Dáil electoral register are eligible to vote.
De Valera who had served as President of Dáil Éireann and President of the Irish Republic from 1919 to 1922 during the Irish revolutionary period, as President of the Executive Council of the Irish Free State from 1932 to 1937, and as Taoiseach from 1937 to 1948, from 1951 to 1954, and again from 1957 until his election as president, is nominated by Fianna Fáil on May 12. He had served as Fianna Fáil's leader since its foundation in 1926.

Original "Ulysses" Manuscript Goes on Display in Dublin
The original manuscript of James Joyce's Ulysses arrives in its "spiritual home" for the first time on June 13, 2000 when it goes on display at the Chester Beatty Library on the grounds of Dublin Castle in Dublin, the city that inspired the novel.
Spidery sentences penned on yellowing paper and littered with scribbled alterations make up the first draft of what many scholars consider to be the most influential work of fiction of the 20th century. It is the centerpiece of a Joyce exhibition at the Chester Beatty library which runs through the end of September 2000.
Derick Dreher, director of the Rosenbach Museum and Library in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where the manuscript has been kept since 1924, says it marks the homecoming of a work which is "quintessentially Irish." He adds, "People are amazed that it has never been here before. The novel captures the essence of Dublin and yet was composed entirely on foreign soil and then sold in America."
Dreher says that Joyce's handwriting is so bad it is hard to make out what is written on many of the pages. Joyce left Dublin with servant girl, Nora Barnacle, in 1904 and writes Ulysses in Trieste, Zürich and Paris between 1914 and 1921. Ultimately, he marries Barnacle in 1931.
The novel traces the wanderings of a young writer, Stephen Dedalus, and advertisement canvasser, Leopold Bloom, on June 16, 1904, the day on which Joyce first goes out with Barnacle. He sells the manuscript to New York City lawyer and art patron, John Quinn, for $12,000 before its publication in 1921.

Kidnapping of RIC Constables Clarke & Murdock
Alexander Clarke and Charles Murdock, both constables with the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC), the police force in Ireland from 1822 until 1922, are kidnapped and murdered by the Irish Republican Army (IRA) near Clonmany, County Donegal on May 10, 1921.
The disappearance is the most notorious incident to occur in Clonmany during the Irish War of Independence. Both men are stationed at the RIC Barracks in Clonmany. They go on patrol in the evening but are kidnapped near Straid in County Antrim. Both men are shot and their bodies are dumped in the sea near Binion.
Clarke's body washes up on the seashore near Binion the following day. Constable Murdock reportedly survives the initial attack despite being thrown into the sea. He swims to the shore and seeks refuge among the residents of Binion. However, he is betrayed to the IRA who murder him. His body has never been found. Local tradition suggests that he is buried in a bog near Binion hill.
In June 1921, a military court is held in Clonmany to conduct a postmortem for Clarke. The court finds that Clarke had died from gunshot wounds to the heart, jaw and neck and that his firearm and ammunition were missing. At the time of his death, Clarke is 23 years old and unmarried.
A few weeks later, on July 10, 1921 Crown Forces raid a number of houses in Clonmany looking for Sinn Féin activists. Three unnamed young men from the village are arrested but are released shortly afterwards and allowed to return home.

The incredible of uses of the KRION® Solid Surface mineral compact by PORCELANOSA Grupo are evident in relation to its high capacity of completely exceeding the limits in design.
After its multiple applications, together with its adaptability to satisfy both the interior design and architecture sectors entirely, the cutting-edge acrylic stone from Systempool, the material which has been opted for by the prestigious catalán studio Francesc Rifé in order to create something which is more than just a table tennis table.
The internationally recognised sports company, ENEBE Sport Group, together with the Francesc Rifé Studio, have recently presented RAM Gran Elegance Line, a new table concept that challenges the rules of design. And what is more, as well as being so durable and ideal for sport in relation to playing table tennis on a professional table, its special design allows for hiding the net, the bats, as well as the balls, all inside the table itself, in a way that means it could be stored in any room inside one's home. In a living-room, a study, an office or in any room, all are perfect for storing this sophisticated table by KRION®, which is both elegant and easy to maintain. As well as that, it fits in at home spectacularly well with its built-in internal lighting system, whose translucent effects surpass the table's surface, which is made with 1100 KRION® Snow White.
With regard to RAM, it is both designed and produced so that it maintains and supports itself, thus, standing the test of time and staying in the family for a very long time, and because of this, the Francesc Rifé Studio decided to carry out a careful selection process regarding the materials, which bestow not only durability, exclusivity and resistance on the design, but also sustainability.
With KRION®, all the premises are accomplished, and furthermore, they firmly bank on innovation in the sporting equipment design. A material that goes right through the limits between both liquids and solids, with the authenticity of the material as its aim.

Q: Batch rename files to remove certain characters I have about 1852 video files and they all end with .br or .brx and I wanted to remove them from the file name.
What method could I use to accomplish what I asked above; to remove file extension from files with these extension characters in a batch solution to do all quickly rather than one by one?

A: I may be missing something, but this strikes me as a simple wildcard renaming command that doesn't require a script or batch file:
ren  *.br*  *.

Do that from within the directory where the files are.  It replaces any filename having an extension that begins with br with the same filename but with no extension.
BTW, if there are other files with extensions starting with .br that you don't want to change, do this in two commands with explicit extensions:
ren  *.br  *.
ren  *.brx  *.

A: If you are using any version of windows ( from windows xp till now), you can use a program called rename master. It's portable software and should be able to rename all the files at once.

Art & Exhibits: Week of Sept. 10
Originally Published: September 9, 2010 7:05 p.m.
Figurative and landscape paintings by Cathy Gibbons will be in the 'Tis Arts Center and Gallery spotlight from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday during an opening reception to introduce her show in the mezzanine. Wine and light appetizers will be available for guests. In her paintings, Gibbons intends for viewers to "feel her captivation by the interplay of brilliant light and warm, rich and muted tones of the Arizona landscape." Her style, she says, is loose and reminiscent of impressionism, and her goal "is to capture the mood and the magic of the landscape rather than every detail." In her figurative work, she also paints with loose and colorful brush strokes, "inspired by the spirit and inherent beauty that emanate from each and every person." Gibbons will conduct an oil painting workshop, "Learn to Fearlessly Paint the Portrait," from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sept. 16. Her work will be on exhibit until Sept. 30. The gallery is located at 105 S. Cortez St. For more information, call 775-0223.
The Prescott College Art Gallery at Sam Hill Warehouse announces the opening of Death & Erasers, exploring the narrative paintings of Tina Mion. This exhibit is on view until Sept. 25.
Mion has lived and worked in Winslow, Ariz., since 1997 when she and her husband Allan Affeldt bought and restored the historic La Posada hotel, museum, and gardens. Previously she led a fairly nomadic life setting up makeshift studios in such places as Sri Lanka and an island off the Maine coast. She is represented in collections all over the world including the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. and the Nelson Atkins Museum in Kansas City, Mo.
When asked why she chose the title "Death & Erasers," Mion said, "Death appears in my paintings in many ways just as it weaves through out lives - death of dreams, of the environment, death as transition, as a thing of pain and sometimes a thing of great beauty. And erasers....I make a lot of mistakes."
Regular gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday - Saturday. For more information, contact 776-5258, ext.5. This exhibit is made possible in part by financing from Arizona Commission on the Arts, The National Endowment for the Arts, the Clowes Fund, Inc, the Prescott Area Arts and Humanities Council and the City of Prescott.
The Frame & I Gallery is featuring whimsical paintings and jewelry by Connie Green for the month of September. Visit the gallery during the Fourth Friday Art Walk http://www.artthe4th.com/ from 6 to 8 p.m. on Sept. 24 and meet the artist. Refreshments will be available. The gallery is located at 229 W. Gurley St. For information, call 445-5073, or visit www.frameandi.com http://www.frameandi.com.
A host of artists' work is on display until Sept. 15 in the Mountain Artists Guild exhibit, "ArtEscape 10." ArtEscape is a diverse group of 36 members who are exhibiting a wide range of media, including jewelry, pottery, painting, mosaic and more. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The gallery, located at 228 N. Alarcon St., is also exhibiting "Autumn Sensations" until Dec. 23.
"Pray tell, how do we stay in business in this economy?" asks Charles M. Huckeba, and his answer is a "Staying in Business Sale" at his gallery, 227 W. Gurley St., now offering "depression era prices." His works feature "hot-off-the-press paintings that are still steaming and wet," including his colored pen and ink of the Beatles in Sgt. Pepper.
Megan Dean and Maria Lynam will be showing their art at N.Y. Bagels and the Greenhouse Café through Sept. 19. Both artists have their roots in printmaking but take entirely different approaches to their art.
Dean hand colors her relief prints and layers them on top of each other. They are bright and bold, and some of her prints reference the feminine mystique and also the beauty and icons of the Southwest.
Lynam is a multi-media artist and uses many printmaking techniques in addition to other media when she creates her art. She stamps relief cuts into plaster and subsequently gold leafs and paints onto the canvas and uses her prints as collage elements. She will also display her original etchings and woodcuts.
N.Y. Bagels and Greenhouse Café is located in the historical Octagon House, 212 E. Gurley St., in Prescott.
Richard Olson, an acrylic and textural painter, will be the featured artist through Oct. 7 at the Eye on the Mountain Gallery. Olson has returned from Santa Fe "to bring Prescott more of his surreal landscapes, picturesque ravens, as the mysterious desert dances across the canvas," he said. Olson describes his work as "inspired by visions and his meditational walks through the Southwest." His "signature painting style chisels fissures and carvings in to the paint. The texture layered on top of each painting creates an ethereal clear shadow that carries one into the otherworld ... even if just for a blissful moment," he said. The artist will be on hand from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday during the gallery's "Virgo Party," featuring a barbecue and music, and again from 6 to 9 p.m. on Sept. 24 during the 4th Friday Art Walk. The gallery is located at 117 N. McCormick St., in Prescott.
Tommie Purcell, Carol Holloway, Leland Morse and Cindy Hsing are the Prescott Valley Art Guild's featured artists at the Prescott Valley Good Samaritan Center, 3380 N. Windsong Drive. The artists do a variety of oil and watercolor. The show will run through mid-October.

My oldest son plays guitar and, over the holidays, he did a solo which he posted on Instagram and Facebook. I learned about two years ago, from a friend, that my reposting and sharing wasn't just because I was a proud dad. He's built quite a following and has surpassed the 10,000 hours of practice required to get really good at something. That solo has had over 4,000 views on Instagram and 3,000 on Facebook. I'm proud of his work and sad when some people credit that work to giftedness.
Malcolm Gladwell describes this as the deliberate practice required for a form of mastery in a particular field. At least in those fields where a 7'1″ wingspan isn't required, like basketball. There is no gene that has been identified for music and there is no gene for leadership. You're going to have to put in the hours if you really want to be good at any learned skill.
As a Startup Founder, what do you need to be a great leader? There are so many areas of study and practice that you should consider, but let me pull a lessons from Charles Duhigg's new book, Smarter Faster Better, which I'm listening to on Audible. There are myths about good teams and there is research about good teams. In the book, he references Google's Laszlo Boch and his 5 key norms – BTW, Laszlo just left Google, keep an eye on what he does next.
Let me break this down into what this means for startup founders and CEOs.
Is your work important? Not in a contrived mission/vision sort of way. I have a great friend in the gaming business, and he admits he's not solving the world's problems – he's just creating fun and that's OK. If you are solving a real problem, great, recognize it for what it is and get that in front of the team for them to understand. If you really want to change the world, even better! Answer the question, why is what you are doing important to your customer?
One of the things I learned from Donald Miller at Storybrand is that most companies think of themselves as the hero of their own story. But they aren't, the customer is the hero of your story. You are the guide to help them succeed. You, your team and your company are part of the narrative, but not the center of the story.
Is your work personally meaningful? Not just to you as the founder or co-founding team. Are the early team members compensated with stock options, do they see how what they are doing actually makes a difference in what the do every day? You as a leader need to recognize that contribution – it should never be implicit, it should always be explicitly stated and recognized. By the way, as the leader, that means when good things happen, the team gets the credit, not you.
Do you have clear goals and roles? Early stage companies are notorious for flip-flopping as they try to find product market fit. If you are at that stage, you may want to redefine the team's goal as "find product market fit" vs positioning yourself as the all-knowing (and new) CEO who has the singularly and divinely granted product vision.
Are you doing daily standups with the entire team? Do you know their current blockers and what is on their to-do, doing and done lists of tasks? You can't micromanage them. If that is required, either they are the wrong person, or you're the wrong manager. Everyone on the team should know the "Leader's Intent." In the military, that means the goal is to take that hill. But as we all have heard, everyone has a plan until the fighting starts. Do they know your intent? If they don't, it's not their fault, it's your fault as a leader.
Can they depend on one another? Have you created a culture, where people can depend on one another for feedback, encouragement, and support? Your startup may just be you and a co-founder at this point. You can start there, in fact, you have to start there. If you don't start with intent, you likely will screw up the culture before you get large enough to know any better. Your team is made up of individuals who are "whole people." They bring a lot of tools and baggage into this relationship that you call work, and it all comes with them – the good and the bad.
You are going to need to get to know the team members, what's going on in their lives and how to read them with empathy. You don't have to be their new best friend, but you need to be friendly. You need to show that you care and, like all good relationships, you will need to invest in that relationship. You can start with "being present" as the leader by focusing on who is in front of you at that moment. Multi-tasking is possible in some environments – just not when people are present.
Have you created an environment of Psychological Safety? Saving the most important item for last. Psychological safety is a shared belief that the team is safe for interpersonal risk taking. In psychologically safe teams, team members feel accepted and respected. It is also the most studied enabling condition in group dynamics and team learning research.
It was so important that Google created a checklist to help managers be consistent across teams.
