# Sixth federal electoral district of Chiapas

The **sixth federal electoral district of Chiapas** (*Distrito electoral federal 06 de Chiapas*) is one of the 300 electoral districts into which Mexico is divided for elections to the federal Chamber of Deputies and one of 13 such districts in the state of Chiapas.

It elects one deputy to the lower house of Congress for each three-year legislative session by means of the first-past-the-post system. Votes cast in the district also count towards the calculation of proportional representation ("plurinominal") deputies elected from the third region.

## District territory

Under the 2022 districting plan, which is to be used for the 2024, 2027 and 2030 federal elections, Chiapas's fifth district covers 10 municipalities:

The district's head town (*cabecera distrital*), where results from individual polling stations are gathered together and collated, is the state capital, the city of Tuxtla Gutiérrez.

## Previous districting schemes

2017–2022

In 2017–2022, the district covered the municipalities of Acala, Chiapa de Corzo, Chiapilla, Ocozocoautla de Espinosa, Suchiapa, Totolapa and Tuxtla Gutiérrez. The head town was at Tuxtla Gutiérrez.

2005–2017

From 2005 to 2017, the sixth district was located in the centre of the state and covered the municipalities of Acala, Chiapa de Corzo, Chiapilla, Chicoasén, Ixtapa, Las Rosas, Nicolás Ruiz, Osumacinta, San Lucas, Soyaló, Suchiapa, Totolapa, and Venustiano Carranza, plus the southern and western parts of the municipality of Tuxtla Gutiérrez. The head town was the city of Tuxtla Gutiérrez.

1996–2005

Between 1996 and 2005, the sixth district had a different configuration. The head town was Chiapa de Corzo and it covered the following municipalities:

1978–1996

The districting scheme in force from 1978 to 1996 was the result of the 1977 electoral reforms, which increased the number of single-member seats in the Chamber of Deputies from 196 to 300. Under that plan, Chiapas's seat allocation rose from six to nine. The sixth district had its head town at Palenque and it covered 12 municipalities.

# Rick Mercer

**Richard Vincent** "**Rick**" **Mercer** OC ONL (born October 17, 1969) is a Canadian comedian, television personality, political satirist, and author. He is best known for his work on the CBC Television comedy shows *This Hour Has 22 Minutes* and *Rick Mercer Report*. He is the author of four books based on content from the shows and the two part memoir consisting of *Talking to Canadians* (November 2021) and *The Road Years* (October 2023). Mercer has received more than 25 Gemini Awards for his work on television.

## Career

### Early work

Mercer first came to national attention in 1990 when he created and presented his one-man stage show *Show Me the Button: I'll Push It (or Charles Lynch Must Die)* at the National Arts Centre's Atelier in Ottawa. A satirical political commentary on Canadian life after Meech Lake, *Show Me the Button* made Mercer a national star as he toured the show across Canada. In 1992, he created and performed his second stage show, *I've Killed Before, I'll Kill Again* at the National Arts Centre's Studio Theatre, which also became a popular touring show.

### *This Hour Has 22 Minutes*

In 1992, he began to work with former *CODCO* members Cathy Jones and Mary Walsh, and fellow Newfoundlander Greg Thomey, to create a new television series for CBC Television which became *This Hour Has 22 Minutes*. In the first eight seasons of *22 Minutes*, Mercer provided some of the show's signature moments, including an Internet petition (on the  *22 Minutes* website) to force Canadian Alliance leader Stockwell Day to change his first name to Doris. The website used for the petition was later repurposed as a way to have Canadians send Christmas cards to peacekeepers in Bosnia. Mercer hand delivered these to the troops in a December 2000 special. In 2001, following an incident in which an aide to federal member of Parliament (MP) Rahim Jaffer posed as the politician in a radio interview, Mercer performed a parody rap based on Eminem's "The Real Slim Shady", with the lyrics "Will the real Rahim Jaffer please stand up?

Mercer's two-minute "rants", in which he would speak directly to the camera about a current political issue, shot in a style similar to those Denis Leary used in MTV commercials, quickly became the show's signature segment. In 1998, he published a book, *Streeters*, which compiled many of his most famous *22 Minutes* rants. It became a national bestseller. In 2007 he published his second book, *Rick Mercer Report: The Book*.

In November 2010, Mercer contributed a rant he had previously recorded in 2007 on the subject of the bullying of gay and lesbian teens in high schools to Dan Savage's It Gets Better Project.

#### *Talking to Americans*

One of Mercer's comedy routines on *22 Minutes* was *Talking to Americans*, in which he would travel to a major American city or institution and conduct on-the-street interviews with Americans on topics such as Canadian politics and weather, using the subject's ignorance about Canada for comedic effect. One famous example saw Mercer asking Americans' opinion on whether Canada should change its "20 Hour Clock" to the 24-hour one used by the United States. He received approval from citizens and from the Governor of Iowa, Tom Vilsack. On another occasion he got the support of Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee in calling on Canadians to save the "National Igloo".

Mercer made international headlines in 2000 when he pulled a *Talking to Americans* stunt on then-presidential candidate George W. Bush. He successfully got Bush to answer questions about non-existent Canadian Prime Minister "Jean Poutine". Bush was not amused at the time, but he did make a joking reference to this incident during his visit to Canada in 2004. In the same US election campaign, Mercer asked Democratic candidate Al Gore to promise to visit the "Canadian capital city" of Toronto after his election. Gore did not question Mercer's incorrect identification of the capital of Canada.

In 2001, Mercer co-produced a CBC special based on *Talking to Americans*, which attracted 2.7 million Canadian viewers—the highest-rated television special in Canadian history. Later, the respected ABC News program *Nightline* would devote a show to it. This was his last major project related to *22 Minutes*—at the end of the 2000–2001 season, he announced his departure from that show to focus on his other television show, *Made in Canada*. *Talking to Americans* was nominated for a Gemini Award, but following the 9/11 attacks, Mercer declined the nomination.

### *Made in Canada*

Mercer co-created the series *Made in Canada*, which ran for five seasons on CBC Television from 1998 to 2003. The show was a fast-paced situation comedy which self-referentially satirized the Canadian TV production industry, often drawing from details of its own production companies and including thinly veiled parodies of contemporary programs. It was syndicated abroad as *The Industry* and won several Gemini Awards (which were themselves satirized in subsequent episodes).

### *The Rick Mercer Report*

In 2003, *Made in Canada* ended its run, and Mercer began to work on a new CBC series, *Rick Mercer's Monday Report*. Similar in format to *22 Minutes* and *The Daily Show with Jon Stewart*, the show debuted in January 2004. Also in 2003, Mercer went to Afghanistan to visit the Canadian troops stationed there, resulting in the television special *Christmas in Kabul*.

Despite reports of a long-standing feud Mercer invited Walsh to appear on *Monday Report* as a special guest to promote her own series *Hatching, Matching and Dispatching*.

At the end of its second season, *Monday Report* was the highest rated arts and entertainment show on the CBC. Former Prime Minister Paul Martin gave him a private tour of 24 Sussex Drive and former New Democratic Party leader Ed Broadbent made snow angels with Mercer on Parliament Hill. Other prominent guests were NDP leader Jack Layton (who was Mercer's own MP); Conservative Party leader Stephen Harper (former Prime Minister); Green Party leader Elizabeth May; then-Conservative MP Belinda Stronach; Conservative MP Peter MacKay; former Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Danny Williams; Olympic gold medallist Kyle Shewfelt; author Pierre Berton; recording artists Jann Arden, Bif Naked, Rush, bassist Geddy Lee, drummer and lyricist Neil Peart, and Sarah McLachlan; publishing mogul Conrad Black; and former prime minister Jean Chrétien. When Mercer hosted a relief benefit concert for the victims of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami at the Pengrowth Saddledome in Calgary, musical guests Barenaked Ladies appeared in a segment Mercer shot backstage completely naked.

In 2005, the CBC moved *Monday Report* to Tuesday nights, which caused the show's name to be changed to *The Rick Mercer Report*. On his blog, Mercer wrote of the time slot shift that "we ended the season as the highest rated comedy show on the network. Clearly some drastic changes were needed."

In 2017, it was announced that the *Rick Mercer Report* would end production after its 15th season; the last episode aired on April 10, 2018.

### Other film and television work

Mercer has hosted *It Seems Like Yesterday*, which examines pop-culture from the 1950s to the 1980s. He has appeared in a few films, including *Secret Nation*, *Understanding Bliss*, *How to Be Deadly* and *Bon Cop, Bad Cop*.

In late 2014, he guest starred in the second to last episode of the Republic of Doyle television series.

In 2022, he launched *Comedy Night with Rick Mercer*, a CBC Television series showcasing stand-up comedy performances by emerging Canadian comedians.

## Books

A book by Mercer, *Rick Mercer Report: The Book*, based on his television program, was published on September 25, 2007, by Doubleday Canada. This was Mercer's first book since *Streeters* of 1998, and contained a collection of Mercer's rants from the first four seasons of *Rick Mercer Report*, together with moments from interviews for the program and other writings by Mercer. On CBC Radio's *Sounds Like Canada* on September 21, Shelagh Rogers said of the book that "it's the most fun I've had in bed in a long time." The book entered the *Globe and Mail* books chart on October 6 at number three. It was number one in the *Globe* bestseller list in the week before Christmas 2007, and reprinted eight times.

An expanded and updated paperback version of *Rick Mercer Report: The Book*, called *Rick Mercer Report: The Paperback Book*, was published by Anchor Canada on September 16, 2008, and immediately entered the top ten of the *Globe and Mail* bestseller list. It has been reprinted several times.

Mercer's next book, *A Nation Worth Ranting About*, was published by Doubleday Canada on September 18, 2012. It was also a bestseller.

*Rick Mercer Final Report* was published by Doubleday Canada in 2018.

*Talking to Canadians: A Memoir* was published by Doubleday Canada on November 2, 2021.

*The Road Years: A Memoir Continued* was published by Doubleday Canada on October 31, 2023.

## Awards

Mercer has received more than 25 Gemini Awards for his television work. He has also won the Sir Peter Ustinov Comedy Award, presented to him at the 2003 Banff Television Festival. In 1993, Newfoundland premier Clyde Wells honoured Mercer with the Newfoundland Arts Council's Artist of the Year award. In 2004, Mercer was presented with the National Arts Centre Award, a companion award of the Governor General's Performing Arts Awards. He donated his $15,000 cash prize to the LSPU hall, the theatre in Newfoundland where Mercer performed his early work.

He holds honorary degrees from Laurentian University in Sudbury, Memorial University of Newfoundland in St. John's, Brock University in St. Catharines, McMaster University in Hamilton, Bishop's University in Lennoxville, the University of British Columbia, the University of Guelph, the University of Western Ontario in London, and the Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston He received an honorary high school diploma for his outstanding efforts and determination from Landmark East School in Wolfville, Nova Scotia in 1999.

Mercer was awarded the 30th Annual Bob Edwards Award in Calgary.

In 2007, he was named honorary colonel of the Royal Canadian Air Force's 423 Maritime Helicopter Squadron, based at CFB Shearwater in Shearwater, Nova Scotia.

On June 30, 2014, Mercer was appointed an Officer of the Order of Canada by David Johnston, Governor General of Canada, for "his ability to inspire and challenge Canadians through humour" and his work with charitable causes. He was formally invested into the Order in a ceremony at Rideau Hall on September 23, 2015. The same year, he was inducted into the Canadian Disability Hall of Fame. In 2019, Mercer received the Lifetime Artistic Achievement Award as part of the Governor General's Performing Arts Awards.

His memoir *Talking to Canadians* was the winner of the 2022 Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal for Humour.

In 2023, he was appointed a Member of the Order of Newfoundland and Labrador.

## Spokesperson and endorsements

Mercer is co-chair, along with Belinda Stronach, in the Spread the Net campaign, partnered through UNICEF, which kicked off at Brock University on September 10, 2008. Spread the Net provides bed nets for $10 each to prevent the spread of malaria among children in Africa.

In December 2004, Mercer appeared on the commercials advertising the One-Tonne Challenge for the Government of Canada. Mercer also appeared as a model in a national ad for men's clothing store, Harry Rosen, wearing a Canali suit. All of Mercer's fees for the campaign went to Casey House, a hospice in Toronto for people living with AIDS. Casey House was founded by June Callwood, who appeared as a celebrity guest on *Monday Report*.

In September 2005, Mercer became the national spokesperson for the 2005 Walk For Life, a series of 132 fund-raising walks across Canada that raise money for people living with HIV and AIDS. The Walk for Life is a project of the Canadian AIDS Society.

Mercer has narrated an animated science video on climate change for Science North in Sudbury.

In November 2010, Mercer joined the It Gets Better campaign, a series of videos that aim to help gay and lesbian youth overcome bullying.

Growing up he attended Macdonald Drive Elementary and dropped out of Prince of Wales Collegiate in St. John's before completing his diploma requirements. He was a member of the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets during his teen years.

Mercer's spouse since 1990 is television producer Gerald Lunz. Although the romantic relationship came first, Lunz is also Mercer's long-time partner in business, who discovered him, fostered his career, and was the executive producer of *Rick Mercer Report*. He regards his personal life as private and says little about it in public beyond acknowledging that he is gay; in a 2011 interview on CBC Radio One's *The Current*, he clarified that he tries "to live \[his\] life as an out gay man" but doesn't specifically mention his sexuality on *Rick Mercer Report* because it's just "not what the show is about".

# Todagin Wildlife Management Area

**Todagin Wildlife Management Area** is a wildlife management area located southeast of Iskut in northwestern British Columbia. It was established by the British Columbia Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development (FLNRORD) on 19 March 2001 to conserve and manage critical habitat for stone sheep. It is the largest wildlife management area in British Columbia at 122,787 ha (303,410 acres).

## Geography

Todagin Wildlife Management Area covers a large area of the northern Klappan Range stretching from Maitland Creek to Ealue Lake between the Iskut and Klappan rivers. It surrounds the smaller, less strictly protected Todagin South Slope Provincial Park.

## Ecology

### Flora

The highlands provide habitat for dwarf ericaceous shrubs, dwarf birch, willow, grass, and lichen. By contrast, the broad valley bottoms provide habitat for dense forests of black spruce, white spruce, and alpine fir.

# Rosenbaum House

The **Rosenbaum House** is a single-family house designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright and built for Stanley and Mildred Rosenbaum in Florence, Alabama. A noted example of his Usonian house concept, it is the only Wright building in Alabama, and is one of only 26 pre-World War II Usonian houses. Wright scholar John Sergeant called it "the purest example of the Usonian."

## History

In 1938 Stanley Rosenbaum (a professor at Florence State Teachers' College, now the University of North Alabama) and his new wife Mildred were given a building lot in Florence, Alabama and funds to build a house on it by Rosenbaum's parents. Both newlyweds had read Frank Lloyd Wright's autobiography and a cover story on Wright in *Time* magazine. They commissioned Wright to design and build the house; it is the only Wright house in Alabama.

This is an example of Wright's "Usonian"-style homes, which he intended as low-cost housing for middle-class American families. But the first phase of the house ultimately cost $14,000 (equivalent to $300,000 in 2023), nearly double the wealthy couple's original $7,999 budget. The flat roof leaked almost immediately, the heating system failed, and the Rosenbaum family seldom used the custom furniture built on-site for the home.

After the Rosenbaums took up residence in September 1940, the first photographs of the house were exhibited the following month at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City the following month. This house was also the childhood home of notable American film critic Jonathan Rosenbaum.

### Restoration

The house was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. It remained in the Rosenbaum family until 1999 (when Mildred Rosenbaum moved into a nursing home). This was a longer period under the original owners' control than that for any of Wright's other Usonian homes. By this time the house was in poor repair, with extensive water penetration and termite damage.

The Rosenbaum family donated the house to the City of Florence and at the same time sold the furniture and contents of the house to the city for $75,000. The city spent a further $600,000 on repairs, using original plans sent by the archives of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation at Taliesin West. The Wright Archive is known as the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation Archives, held at the Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library of Columbia University in New York City.

Following the restoration, the city opened the house in 2002 as a public museum, the Frank Lloyd Wright Rosenbaum House. The museum displays some of the original Wright-designed furniture. The restoration won the 2004 Wright Spirit Award in the Public Domain from the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy. Mildred Rosenbaum was the first recipient of the Wright Spirit Award for her tireless efforts for preservation and interpretation through the Frank Lloyd Wright Rosenbaum House Foundation. In her last five years in residence, which ended in 1998, nearly 5,000 visitors received personal tours conducted by Mrs. Rosenbaum, who died in 2006.

## Architecture

The Rosenbaum House was the first of dozens of Wright's Usonian houses based on the 1936 Usonian prototype Jacobs House in Madison, Wisconsin. The house was built on a 2-acre (8,100 m2) plot at 117 Riverview Drive (now 601 Riverview, after renumbering), on the north bank of the Tennessee River. Built in an L-shape, the house is made from natural materials, largely cypress wood and brick, and features multilevel low-rising steel-cantilevered roofs covering both the living spaces and an adjoining carport. A distinctive feature of the house is its glass; *USA Today* described it as "blurring the distinction between indoors and outdoors." Most of the rooms have their own door to the outside. The center of the house is the "service core", built around a large stone hearth and adjacent to a 100 square foot (9.3 m2) study.

The original Usonian floorplan provided 1,540 square feet (143 m2) of living space, but when the Rosenbaums had their fourth child they asked Wright to design an extension to the now cramped house. His modifications, completed in 1948, added a further 1,084 square feet (100 m2) in a second L-shape.

## Recognition

It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places individually, and also as a contributing building in the McFarland Heights historic district.

# 21 Jump Street (soundtrack)

***21 Jump Street (Original Motion Picture Score)*** is the score album to the 2012 film *21 Jump Street* directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. The film's original score is composed by Mark Mothersbaugh and released through La-La Land Records on September 23, 2014 as a double disc album with the score of the film's sequel, *22 Jump Street*.

## Background

Lord and Miller's frequent collaborator Mark Mothersbaugh composed the score in their second collaboration after *Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs* (2009). Mothersbaugh was initially apprehensive of the original source material—the 1987–1991 television series—which he called it as "the lamest television show ever made". However, he agreed to do it owing to the duo's rapport. The soundtrack consisted mostly of electronic music.

A modernized cover of the original television show's theme was performed by Rye Rye and Esthero. It was released as a digital single on March 10, 2012 in the iTunes Store. Another cover of the theme performed by Wallpaper was also released on March 12. Mothersbaugh's score was not released along with the film. On September 23, 2014, La-La Land Records released a double disc album limited to 2,000 copies, which consists of the film's original score along with that of the sequel, *22 Jump Street*. The standalone edition of the album was released by Madison Gate Records on November 4, 2014.

## Reception

Daniel Schweiger of *AssignmentX* wrote "the charm in these *Jump Street* scores is that he might as well be thrashing on top of an army tank as it's racing to save the world." *The Hollywood Reporter* described the score as "playful". Chris Cabin of *Slant Magazine* called it as "zippy". Peter Debruge of *Variety* wrote "Bringing composer Mark Mothersbaugh along for the high-energy assignment, the helmers make slick use of their new live-action collaborators."

title: First Continental Congress

That appeal was unsuccessful, leading delegates from the colonies to convene the Second Continental Congress, also held in Philadelphia. the following May, shortly after the Battles of Lexington and Concord, to organize the defense of the colonies as the American Revolutionary War.

## Convention

The Congress met from September 5 to October 26, 1774, in Carpenters' Hall in Philadelphia with delegates from 12 of the Thirteen Colonies participating. The delegates were elected by the people of the respective colonies, the colonial legislature, or by the Committee of Correspondence of a colony. Loyalist sentiments outweighed Patriot views in Georgia, leading that colony to not immediately join the revolutionary cause until the following year when it sent delegates to the Second Continental Congress.

Peyton Randolph was elected as president of the Congress on the opening day, and he served through October 22 when ill health forced him to retire, and Henry Middleton was elected in his place for the balance of the session. Charles Thomson, leader of the Philadelphia Committee of Correspondence, was selected as the congressional secretary. The rules adopted by the delegates were designed to guard the equality of participants and to promote free-flowing debate.

As the deliberations progressed, it became clear that those in attendance were not of one mind concerning why they were there. Conservatives such as Joseph Galloway, John Dickinson, John Jay, and Edward Rutledge believed their task to be forging policies to pressure Parliament to rescind its unreasonable acts. Their ultimate goal was to develop a reasonable solution to the difficulties and bring about reconciliation between the Colonies and Great Britain. Others such as Patrick Henry, Roger Sherman, Samuel Adams, and John Adams believed their task to be developing a decisive statement of the rights and liberties of the Colonies. Their ultimate goal was to end what they felt to be the abuses of parliamentary authority and to retain their rights, which had been guaranteed under Colonial charters and the English constitution.

Roger Sherman denied the legislative authority of Parliament, and Patrick Henry believed that the Congress needed to develop a completely new system of government, independent from Great Britain, for the existing Colonial governments were already dissolved. In contrast to these ideas, Joseph Galloway put forward a "Plan of Union" which suggested that an American legislative body should be formed with some authority, whose consent would be required for imperial measures.

## Declaration and Resolves

In the end, the voices of compromise carried the day. Rather than calling for independence, the First Continental Congress passed and signed the Continental Association in its Declaration and Resolves, which called for a boycott of British goods to take effect in December 1774. After Congress signed on October 20, 1774, embracing non exportation they also planned nonimportation of slaves beginning December 1, which would have abolished the slave trade in the United States of America 33 years before it actually ended.

## Accomplishments

The primary accomplishment of the First Continental Congress was a compact among the colonies to boycott British goods beginning on December 1, 1774, unless parliament should rescind the Intolerable Acts. While delegates convened in the First Continental Congress, fifty-one women in Edenton, North Carolina formed their own association (now referred to as the Edenton Tea Party) in response to the Intolerable Acts that focused on producing goods for the colonies. Additionally, Great Britain's colonies in the West Indies were threatened with a boycott unless they agreed to non-importation of British goods. Imports from Britain dropped by 97 percent in 1775, compared with the previous year. Committees of observation and inspection were to be formed in each Colony to ensure compliance with the boycott. It was further agreed that if the Intolerable Acts were not repealed, the colonies would also cease exports to Britain after September 10, 1775.

The Houses of Assembly of each participating colony approved the proceedings of the Congress, with the exception of New York. The boycott was successfully implemented, but its potential for altering British colonial policy was cut off by the outbreak of hostilities in April 1775.

Congress also voted to meet again the following year if their grievances were not addressed satisfactorily. Anticipating that there would be cause to convene a second congress, delegates resolved to send letters of invitation to those colonies that had not joined them in Philadelphia, including Quebec, Saint John's Island (now Prince Edward Island), Nova Scotia, Georgia, East Florida, and West Florida. Of these, only Georgia would ultimately send delegates to the next Congress.

# Edinburgh University Orienteering Club

**Edinburgh University Orienteering Club** is the most successful University Orienteering Club in the United Kingdom, winning the JK or British relays 15 times in total. It's also recognised by the abbreviation **EUOC**. Students from Edinburgh University, Heriot Watt University and Edinburgh Napier University are all allowed to join the club. After graduation, old members are allowed to join AROS (Auld Reekie Orienteering Society), a club for past students.

## History

Edinburgh University has been an important club throughout the history of Orienteering in the UK. It was founded in 1964, which was 3 years before the formation of the British Orienteering Federation in 1967, making it one of the first orienteering clubs in the UK.

The university won the first men's relay at the JK Orienteering Festival in 1969; The event was held in Kielder Forest, Northumberland. The club then went through a period with little domestic success.

The next win at the domestic relays was the British Orienteering Championships in 1991, where the women's team won, retaining their title a year later. The women also won the JK relays that year and in 1996. During this time World Champion Yvette Baker was a student at the university, and in 2011 she was inducted into the Edinburgh University Sports hall of fame.

Recently, the club has experienced its most successful period, winning the JK Relays 5 times between 2000 and 2018, and winning the British Championships twice in a row in 2016 and 2017, their first victories in the event, ending a 48 year wait. Recently, the club has had a fierce rivalry with Sheffield University, which was also very successful, winning the British Championships 5 times and the JK twice.

Edinburgh University regularly sends a team to the Jukola relay in Finland.

# The Scent

***The Scent*** (Korean: 간통을 기다리는 남자; RR: *Gantongeul Gidarineun Namja*; MR: *Kant'ongŭl Kidarinŭn Namcha*; lit. "Man Who Waits for Adultery"; also shortened to Korean: 간기남; RR: *Gan-gi-nam*) is a 2012 South Korean comedy-thriller film starring Park Hee-soon and Park Si-yeon.

Kang Seon-woo is a detective specializing in adultery cases. One day, he investigates the scene of an incident only to find two dead bodies. The only witness is Kim Soo-jin, the dead man's wife. Seon-woo inadvertently become a primary suspect and struggles to prove his innocence.

## Plot

For the past two years, while on suspension for adultery with a police chief's wife, detective Kang Seon-woo (Park Hee-soon), has been running a private-eye agency specializing in adultery cases. He's also being sued for divorce by his wife, Hye-young (Cha Soo-yeon). A couple of days before resuming his old job, Seon-u accepts a case from a woman, Kim Soo-jin (Yoon Jae), who wears a particularly alluring perfume. She says her husband, casino billionaire Nam Yeong-gil (Jo Won-hee), is conducting an affair with another woman at a love hotel in Gapyeong, Gyeonggi Province, outside Seoul. Seon-woo checks into an adjoining room in the unmanned hotel and is met there by Soo-jin. Instead of immediately surprising the lovers, Soo-jin invites Seon-woo to a drink and seduces him. Seon-woo wakes up next to her dead body, and in the next room finds the husband also dead. The woman there says her name is also Kim Soo-jin (Park Si-yeon) and the dead man is her husband. Along with his idiot assistant, ex-con Gi-poong (Lee Kwang-soo), Seon-woo cleans the crime scenes and buries the bodies, realizing he's been framed for the double murder. Resuming his job at Jonggu Police Station, Seon-woo investigates the case along with two colleagues: the stubbornly procedural Seo (Kim Jung-tae), who dislikes him, and the easy-going Han Gil-ro (Joo Sang-wook), who admires him. Seon-woo has noticed that Soo-jin wears the same perfume as her dead namesake, and she admits she wanted a divorce from her husband, who used to beat her. Seon-woo questions the dead Soo-jin's boyfriend, gym trainer Lee Jin-guk (Kim Yun-seong), but the trail leads nowhere. As the terrier-like Seo comes up with more evidence that could eventually implicate Seon-woo in the murders, Seon-woo finds himself falling hard for Soo-jin and on a deadline to solve the mystery.

## Cast

## Production

About her radical nude scene, Park Si-yeon said, "When I first got the script, there was no exposure scene and I did not know that I had to go naked in front of the camera until we started filming. It was tough as I have never done such thing before, but I had several heated discussions with the producer and my co-star Park Hee-soon about these scenes and we did it."

## Box office

Despite somewhat negative reception from film critics, the film performed strongly at the box office. In total the film sold 1,246,185 admissions nationwide, with the success of the film largely attributed to Park Si-yeon's numerous nude scenes.

# Vasiliy Lomachenko vs. Richard Commey

**Vasiliy Lomachenko vs. Richard Commey**, billed as ***Some Forces Can't Be Contained*** was a lightweight professional boxing match contested between former 3-division champion, Vasiliy Lomachenko, and former IBF lightweight champion, Richard Commey on December 11, 2021, at Madison Square Garden, in New York City, New York, U.S.

## Background

Both Lomachenko and Commey share a common loss with former unified lightweight champion, Teófimo López. Commey was knocked out by López in round two in their bout in 2019, losing the IBF lightweight title. Lomachenko lost his unified lightweight titles in an upset in 2020, losing by unanimous decision.

Lomachenko bounced back from his defeat to López, knocking out lightweight contender Masayoshi Nakatani in June 2021, and called López out for a rematch, claiming he "still wanted to become the undisputed champion" at lightweight.

Commey also bounced back from his defeat to López, knocking out Jackson Maríñez in round six in February 2021.

With both fighters looking for another shot at a world title, the pair agreed to face each other on December 11 in New York. The bout was aired live on ESPN in the US, and on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland.

## The fight

Lomachenko won the bout by dominating a competent but unable-to-overcome Commey. Lomachenko was deemed winner by unanimous decision, all three fight judges giving him the contest by a considerable number of points.

# Sinclair Skinner

**Sinclair Matthew Skinner** (born May 31, 1969) is an American engineer, human rights activist, political adviser, serial entrepreneur and former elected official in Washington, D.C. He is a Bitcoin and Blockchain Technology evangelist and an advocate of the advancement of African communities in relation to the African Diaspora. He holds a B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Howard University and is a member of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity. Skinner was first elected to public office in 1998 as an Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner in Washington, D.C.’s Ward 1 neighborhood.

He is currently the co-founder and CEO of Pan African Bitcoin startup Bitmari.

## Early life

Born 1969 in Great Falls Montana and raised by his father, a US Air Force officer, and his mother, a dedicated housewife.

In 1987 he enrolled in Alabama’s Tuskegee University, he was eventually elected President of the University’s Student Government Association.

In 1993 the Skinner led a student protest of the “oppressive and misguided policies common at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU’s)”, and organized African-Americans throughout the south in HBCU preservation efforts and demonstrations. Skinner's campus activism would force him to leave Tuskegee University and transfer to Howard University to continue his goal of becoming an engineer.

## Activism

In the summer of 1995 while at Howard, Skinner helped organize students nationally for the Million Man March, the largest all male march ever held in the United States with an estimated million African-American men in attendance. While at Howard, Skinner and Nik Eames worked with civil-rights giant Lawrence Guyot, who encouraged them to get involved in local politics in Washington, DC, ultimately leading them to run and win positions as advisory neighborhood commissioners—while still students.

After graduating from Howard University, Skinner purchased a former crack house across the street from Howard, and organized his neighbors to help eliminate drug trafficking on the block.

In 1999, Skinner opened the Georgia Avenue Kleaners which eventually grew to a chain of four locations. The dry-cleaners was not a financial success, but Skinner's success and reputation as a philanthropist grew within the Washington, DC African-American community.

In 2005, Skinner led a group of Howard University students and area residents in an effort to paint over gang-related graffiti in the neighborhood with a mural depicting Black historical leaders on a Howard University-owned wall near Howard's Georgia Avenue campus. The wall–which several university students and residents had complained about for years–took two weeks to paint. However, the university ordered the painting be removed after newer residents of the neighborhood complained. Skinner and the students were outraged that residents did not actively pursue the removal of the graffiti, but removed the image of Black leaders and positive families from this wall.

Skinner's Georgia Avenue organizing experience culminated when residents of D.C.’s wards 1 and 4 joined forces to reject the relocation of the Government of the District of Columbia's Department of Motor Vehicles to the intersection of Georgia Avenue and New Hampshire Avenue, just blocks from Skinner's home and dry-cleaners.

The effort forced the creation of the Georgia Avenue Steering committee which led to the smart development framework that influenced the Planned Unit Development, up-zoning and over $100M in neighborhood oriented, mixed-use developments that exists at this intersection currently.

In early 2005, Skinner accused D.C. City councilman of driving historically African-American businesses from the neighborhoods of Columbia Heights, Shaw, and the U Street corridor.

In 2009, Skinner led a group of Washington, DC activists in the donation of a retired District of Columbia fire truck and ambulance to the poverty stricken town of Sosua, Dominican Republic. However, political pressure surrounding then D.C. Mayor Adrian M. Fenty, and public backlash halted the transaction. The vehicles made it to Miami, but were ultimately returned and auctioned off as scrap metal.

In early 2011, Skinner called for an investigation into D.C. Councilman Jim Graham’s involvement in a bribery scandal involving his chief of staff, Ted Loza. Loza, who had been Graham's main confidant in the Council office and who month's earlier was arrested by the FBI, had just pleaded guilty to two counts of accepting bribes. The indictment that was handed down charged that Loza had accepted cash payments in exchange for promoting legislation concerning D.C. taxi cabs until 2010 when Loza was arrested and Councilman Graham was stripped of his chairmanship, Graham had served as Chairman of the council's committee that oversees taxi cab regulation.

## Engineering

Skinner has worked for numerous engineering companies including Ohmeda, Inc., Honeywell, Pillsbury, McDonnell Douglas Corporation and The Architect of the Capitol where he performed testing and development for the Space Shuttle’s main engine controllers, manufacturing for a flour mill company and designed roadways in Macon County, Alabama where he was an apprentice to Curtis Pierce, the first African American county engineer in Macon County, Alabama. Skinner later became the first African American student named to the National Board of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.

After completing his B.S. in mechanical engineering, Skinner worked in product development for Ohmeda, Inc., an international engineering company that designed incubators for premature babies.

Later, Skinner worked for the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and received his Engineer in Training certification in 1998. In 2007, Skinner founded Liberty Engineering and Design (LEAD), one of the few black owned engineering firms in Washington, D.C.

## Politics

In 1996, Skinner was the campaign manager for D.C. city council candidate Nik Eames of the “Umoja” political party. Eames became the first member of his party to get ballot representation for city council in Ward 1 of Washington, D.C.

Skinner's success organizing residents of his Georgia Avenue neighborhood in Washington, D.C. would lead to his election to the Advisory Neighborhood Commission as commissioner of jurisdiction 1B09 in 1998.

Later, Skinner would become the director of the Lower Georgia Avenue Business Association. Skinner also became publisher of The Georgia Ave Defender Newsletter, and founder of the Nile Valley Business Corridor Association–an organization that organized neighbors to “fight crime and take back their streets”.

In 2000, Skinner served as a senior campaign adviser to D.C. City Council candidate Adrian M. Fenty. Drawing from his years of experience in organizing, Skinner helped pave the way for Fenty to become the youngest member of D.C. City Council.

In 2006, Skinner helped Fenty coordinate a successful run for Mayor of Washington, D.C.

In 2012 Skinner served as Treasurer and primary donor to the super-PAC 1911 United. Backed by members of Kappa Alpha Psi and Omega Psi Phi, historically black fraternities, 1911 United aimed to raise $1.5 million toward training and organizing African-American voters in key battleground states to re-elect President Barack Obama. 1911 United also became the first super-PAC to accept bitcoins for contributions.

### D.C. City Council investigation

In December 2009, Skinner was interviewed by the D.C. City Council as part of an investigation into the transfer of funds between District government agencies and his firm's subsequent award of an engineering sub-contract as part of an effort to build and renovate a dozen recreation centers, parks and public fields in the District.

The D.C. Council appointed a special Counsel to look into the transfer of funds between the government agencies as well as the contract that Skinner's company was awarded by the program management firm overseeing the contracts.

In 2011 Skinner held a news conference at the Wilson Building to share that the council's investigation into park contracts had "vindicated" him of any wrongdoing.

## Bitcoin

In 2015 Skinner co-founded BitMari, a Pan-African bitcoin-based financial solutions start-up, with Christopher Mapondera. Using BitMari's wallet, users can make mobile transactions across the African Diaspora using funds in the form of bitcoin.

In October 2016, Ebony Magazine reported that Skinner intends for BitMari to be a catalyst for financial empowerment in the global Black community. In that same interview he stated, “We think technology is a better method of solving problems than politics and a lot of these other things that we’re trying.”

# Bombardier RegioSwinger

The **RegioSwinger** is a tilting diesel multiple unit (DMU) passenger train used for fast regional traffic on unelectrified lines.

## Development and service

The RegioSwinger was first manufactured by Adtranz in Hennigsdorf, before it became part of Bombardier Transportation in 2001. The train is in use in Germany with Deutsche Bahn as **class 612.**

The series was introduced to Croatia with Croatian Railways as **HŽ 7123** or **InterCity Nagibni** (ICN) in 2004. (8 units in total). The public shortened that name, so it caught the nickname **nagibni** (swinger) in Croatia, and became known also by that short name, due to commercials. These trains are normally deployed on the mountainous route between the two largest Croatian cities, route Zagreb \- Split, but are occasionally used on other routes in the country (depending on need and availability). In the case of the Zagreb-Split route, this offers passengers a more comfortable and time-saving journey than previous trains whose journey took 8 hours, whereas the tilting trains offer shorter journey time with less noise and better amenities.

However, the safety of the tilting trains and their possible technical incompatibility with the conditions of the Croatian railroads are disputed after the 2009 Rudine train derailment, an incident that occurred on 24 July of that year, in which six passengers were killed and 55 were injured in the crash. Approximately 3 years before this on 24 November 2006, there was another accident in which the train's engineer was killed; the tilting train crashed into a lorry at a rail crossing that had no ramp or warning lights. Out of eight trainsets introduced in 2004, two are thus out of service. The tilting train services may therefore have to be reduced as there are no longer enough train-sets to serve all scheduled ICN trains and destinations.

Class 612's predecessor was class 611, which due to heavy problems with the tilting system and the chassis was largely considered a failure. Even though class 612 sticks to the principle of an electric tilting system (*Neicontrol-E*), it was newly engineered from the beginning.

The first units were delivered in 1998 and worked reliably until 2004, when cracks were detected in a number of wheel sets. For safety reasons, the tilting system was disabled and subsequently the maximum speed on tilting lines was reduced, causing a massive disorder in the schedules. As before with class 611, wheels and axles had to be replaced. Starting in 2005, class 612 was equipped with hardened molybdenum axles. Today class 612 is back to tilting operation and forms the backbone of DB's fast regional service on unelectrified lines.

After ICE TD class 605 was grounded due to a fracture of an axle in one unit, it was replaced by class 612 on the Dresden-Munich line 2003, as replacement by anything other than a tilting DMU would have meant an extension of travel time. Even though class 612 was not constructed for ICE-type travelling comfort, 16 units were repainted in the ICE livery and renumbered as class 612.4. However, one year later the same problem forced DB to disable the tilting system on the replacement.

## Technical information

Passenger and driver compartments are fully air-conditioned. Class 612 units comprise two motorised coaches, each with a 560 kW (751 hp) Cummins engine (type QSK-19). The power is transferred hydraulically. Up to four units can be connected by the Scharfenberg coupler, with the on-board computers automatically choosing the train configuration.

Besides pneumatic brakes and a hydraulic braking system, class 612 is also equipped with an electro-magnetic brake. The maximum tilt is 8°.

## Accidents

On July 24, 2009, a train derailed near Rudine, Croatia, with 119 passengers aboard, killing 6 and injuring 55, on the Zagreb-Split line. According to Croatian news reports, the cause of the derailment was slippery fire retardant that was just sprayed on a steep downhill section of the track, a normal practice in extreme summer heat but executed improperly using a new chemical. With brakes ineffective, the train gained a speed higher than the track configuration could handle and derailed.

Croatian news media report that this section of the track was reconstructed in 2005 and that the particular train passed inspection just two days prior to the accident, but the accident brought back the debate on whether these trains are appropriate for local conditions. Investigation continues, with questionable application of fire retardant (recently changed to "aqueous based resin liquid penetrate" TG-300 from a new supplier) emerging as the most likely cause of the accident.

## Comfort

* Passengers have criticised that the seats in class 612 are too hard, especially for longer distances.
* Class 612 in Germany has been nicknamed *Wackel-Dackel* (wobbling Dachshund).
* The tilting effect causes motion sickness in some people.
