| Blabbermouth.net | 6.5/10 |
| *Rock Hard* | 9/10 |

Reviews for *The Weight of the World* were mixed. Reviewer Eduardo Rivadavia of AllMusic lamented "the band's maddening tendencies for songwriting inconsistency, matching every memorable turn like 'Hero's Soul' or 'Sunless Sky' with an equally forgettable outing like 'Wings of Tomorrow' or 'Bomb to Drop.'" He criticized new singer Ronny Munroe, who "doesn't always have the power or presence to match the surrounding onslaught", but stated his belief that longtime fans of the band would like most of the album's songs. Tony Daley of Blabbermouth.net was also critical of Munroe's performance and was not convinced by "the sound of the pre-thrash New Wave Of British Heavy Metal" the album offers and by "the pool of average ideas" that makes up the eight minute pièce de résistance "Madman's Soul". However he conceded that if "you don't mind the odd dip in quality, then *Weight of the World* is a likable, if flawed, piece of work."

*Exclaim!* review by Greg Pratt was more positive, stating that *The Weight of the World* "gives that metal punch we all knew the band was capable of delivering", because "the ten tunes are jam-packed with classic '80s heavy metal riffs, from glorious thrash to some NWOBHM melodic near-punksters". *Rock Hard* reviewer remarked the 1980s feel of the music and praised the "smoky-aggressive voice" of Munroe and Metal Church for providing "grand songwriting, horny hooks and a feeling for the synthesis of hammer-hard rhythms and memorable melodies." Despite "the somewhat muddy production and one or two average songs" he elected *Weight of the World* the comeback album of the year.

title: Forest elaenia

abstract: The forest elaenia is a small passerine bird in the tyrant flycatcher family. It breeds from Panama through Colombia, Venezuela and the Guianas to Bolivia and Brazil. It also occurs on Trinidad. This species is found in forests and the edges of mangrove swamps. The nest is a shallow cup of roots, bark and grass built in a tree. The typical clutch is two cream-coloured eggs marked with rufous and lavender. The adult forest elaenia is 12.7 cm long and weighs 12.2g. The head has a blackish crown with a partly concealed white or pale yellow central stripe, a weak whitish supercilium and white eyering. The upperparts are olive-green, and the brown wings have yellow feather edging and two yellow wing bars. The throat is whitish and the breast is greenish-yellow shading to yellow on the belly. The long narrow bill is black above and pink-based below. Sexes are similar. M. g. trinitatis, the subspecies endemic to Trinidad, is larger and has duller upper parts than mainland forms. Forest elaenias are seen alone or in pairs, perched inconspicuously or catching insects and spiders in higher levels of the foliage. They also frequently eat berries. They have a sharp pitch-weep call.

title: The Veldt (song)

abstract: "The Veldt" is a song by Canadian electronic music producer Deadmau5, featuring vocals by Chris James. The song ranked number 48 on Rolling Stone's list of the 50 best songs of 2012.

text:
# The Veldt (song)

"**The Veldt**" is a song by Canadian electronic music producer Deadmau5, featuring vocals by Chris James. The song ranked number 48 on *Rolling Stone*'s list of the 50 best songs of 2012.

## Background and composition

"The Veldt" was inspired by the 1950 short story of the same name by Ray Bradbury. The song was initially created during a 22-hour live streaming session in March 2012. The following day, Zimmerman (Deadmau5) found Chris James, who created his own vocal rendition of the song, via Twitter. Zimmerman was impressed with James' vocals, particularly with the lyrical references to the Ray Bradbury story, and confirmed that the official release of the song would include James' vocals. The song's production was captured on a live streaming session via his official website.

"The Veldt" is a progressive house song with a tempo of 128 beats per minute and is written in the key of A major.

## Release

On April 20, 2012, Zimmerman and Ultra Records uploaded the eight minute-plus version of the song onto their YouTube channels, with the radio edit being uploaded onto Ultra Records' channel on May 7, 2012. Both versions of the song were released the following day.

*The Veldt EP* was released on June 24, 2012, and includes the eleven minute-plus original mix of the song, remixes by Freeform Five and Tommy Trash and an original song called "Failbait" featuring Cypress Hill. The original mix of "The Veldt" features a tribal drum intro.

The song was included on the album *Album Title Goes Here* released late September 2012, in an again slightly differently mixed eight-minute version. The tribal drum intro of the original mix has been left out in this version. The track "Failbait" from *The Veldt EP* was included on the album as well.

The song was also used during rallies for Justin Trudeau's campaign to become the Canadian Liberal Party Leader, and eventually Prime Minister of Canada.

The title of the song served as inspiration for the name of VELD, an annual musical festival in Toronto that inaugurated in 2012 a few months after the song's release.

## Music video

An official music video was posted to Zimmerman's official YouTube page on June 25, 2012. It was produced by Qudos Animations.

As with the song, the video is based on the short story "The Veldt" by Ray Bradbury. It shows two children entering "The Nursery", and running through a savannah landscape with lions and vultures eating bloody dead remains. They stop, and the boy begins to climb up a small mountain. He then suddenly finds his sister standing on the edge of a precipice. He then approaches her and, after pushing her off the edge, jumps off. They slide down the ledge and meet at the ground. The video ends with the two children holding hands as a lion walks off in the distance, leaving behind broken glasses and a trail of blood, presumably of their parents. The video is dedicated to Bradbury, who died weeks before the video was published. The video's art style, which makes heavy use of dark silhouettes and puppet-like animation, bears a strong resemblance to the independent video game *Limbo*.

# Vox Balaenae

***Vox Balaenae*** (*Voice of the Whale*), is a work for electric flute, electric cello and amplified piano by the American avant-garde composer George Crumb. It was composed for performance by the New York Camerata in 1971.

## Background

As the name of the piece indicates, *Vox Balaenae* was inspired by whale songs. "Late in the 1960s, George Crumb heard a tape recording prepared by a marine scientist of the sounds emitted by the humpback whale.... In 1971, Crumb drew on these sounds as the inspiration...". Although the piece has eight movements, these are grouped into three structurally similar parts: the first two movements "(...for the beginning of time)", five variations named after geologic time periods, and the last movement "(...for the end of time)".

## Movements and instrumentation techniques

In addition to instrumentation techniques, performers are asked to wear half black masks. It is highly suggested that whenever possible the performance be done under blue lighting. The cello is tuned scordatura, and the piece requires the use of a grand piano as the techniques required would not be possible on an upright model.

| Movement | Instrumentation Techniques |
| --- | --- |
| Vocalise (for the beginning of time) | Sing flute, performer sings into flute while playing, flutter tonguing (flz), muting piano strings using fingertips, glissandi on piano strings |
| Sea Theme | Cello harmonics, "Aeolian harp" - performer strums piano strings |
| Archeozoic \[Var. I\] | Cello harmonics ("seagull" effect), chisel on piano strings, piano "double- glissando" effect, quarter tone trills |
| Proterozoic \[Var. II\] | Paper clip strums piano strings, "speak-flute" |
| Paleozoic \[Var. III\] | Harmonic glissandi for cello, cello and flute harmonics |
| Mesozoic \[Var. IV\] | Glass rod on piano strings |
| Cenozoic \[Var. V\] | Flutter tonguing (flz), sul ponticello, whistling (includes quarter tones), |
| Sea-Nocturne (for the end of time) | Whistling continues, antique cymbals, flute harmonics, playing in "pantomime" (absolutely silent, mimicking playing) |

# Patrick Joseph Morrissey

Sergeant **Patrick Joseph Morrissey** (7 March 1936 – 27 June 1985) was a member of the Garda Síochána, the national police service of Ireland, killed by the INLA. His murder resulted in the last death sentences issued by an Irish court, 30 years after the last death sentence executed in Ireland.

## Personal life

He was a native of Belturbet, County Cavan. He served in the Irish Army from 1953 to 1960. He lived in Drogheda with his wife Bernadette and their four children: Martin, Brian, Mary and Aideen.

## Career

Morrissey joined the Garda Síochána on 14 December 1960 and was promoted to sergeant on 24th October 1974. He was stationed at Collon, County Louth, for a number of years before his death. He also served at Tramore, Drogheda, Dundrum, Stepaside, Fitzgibbon Street, Whitehall, the Bridewell and at Garda Headquarters. An experienced diver and lifeguard, he played a major role in the development of the Garda Sub-Aqua Unit.

## Robbery and shooting

He was shot dead while in pursuit of two INLA members - Michael McHugh from Crossmaglen and Noel Callan from Cullaville County Armagh \- who had robbed the Labour Exchange in Ardee and stolen £25,000 in cash. Sgt. Morrissey was at Ardee courthouse for a sitting of the local court when he found out about the raid at the employment exchange in Ardee. He joined two Ardee-based Gardaí in their patrol car who were shot at by the robbers. Near Tallanstown the robbers, who had switched from a car to a motorcycle, collided with an approaching car injuring its occupants. Two of the Gardaí stayed with the injured persons while Sergeant Morrissey, alone and on foot, pursued the raiders. As he caught up with them, a shot was fired and he fell to the ground grievously wounded. One of the gunmen stood over him and at point-blank range shot the Sergeant dead. RTÉ Security Correspondent at the time, Tom McCaughren, described it as "an execution".

## Awards

Sergeant Morrissey was posthumously awarded the Scott Gold Medal on 4 December 1986. He was awarded the posthumous Freedom of Drogheda in 2013.

title: Patrick McGrath (novelist)

abstract: Patrick McGrath is a British novelist, whose work has been categorised as gothic fiction.

text:
# Patrick McGrath (novelist)

**Patrick McGrath** (born 7 February 1950) is a British novelist, whose work has been categorised as gothic fiction.

## Early life

McGrath was born in London and grew up near Broadmoor Hospital from the age of five where his father was Medical Superintendent. He was educated at a Jesuit boarding school in Windsor from the age of thirteen, before moving to another Jesuit public school, Stonyhurst College in Lancashire, upon the closure of his first school. In 1967, at the age of sixteen, he ran away from this institution to London. He graduated from the Birmingham College of Commerce with an honours degree in English and American literature in 1971, awarded externally by the University of London, before his father found him a job later that year in Penetang, Ontario working in the Oakridge top-security unit of the Penetang Mental Health Centre.

He has lived in various parts of North America and also spent several years on a remote island in the North Pacific, before finally settling in New York City in 1981.

McGrath also worked as a teacher of creative writing to undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Texas at Austin in the fall semester of 2006. He also taught craft courses for a number of years in the MFA program at Hunter College, New York, and since 2007, has taught an MFA program at the New School in New York.

His archive was acquired by the University of Stirling, Scotland.

## Career

His fiction is principally characterised by the first person unreliable narrator, and recurring subject matter in his work includes mental illness, repressed homosexuality and adulterous relationships.

His novel *Martha Peake* won the Premio Flaiano Prize in Italy and *Asylum* was shortlisted for the 1996 Guardian Fiction Prize.

He is also currently on the writing faculties of both the New School in New York and Princeton University.

Professor Emeritus of Creative Writing at Princeton, Joyce Carol Oates, makes the case that McGrath is transcribing the "nightmares of the 'shattered personality' that resonate within us all," calling his short stories "masterful and seductive, ... Bold, original, and disquieting tales are told by narrators who are themselves bizarre (a boot, a fly—to name just two) and are in most cases omniscient."

On 27 June 2018, the University of Stirling, Scotland, conferred on him the degree of Doctor of the University "for Patrick McGrath's outstanding support of academic research."

## Personal life

He is married to actress Maria Aitken and divides his time between London and New York City. He is the oldest of four siblings.

## Novels

Three of McGrath's novels and one of his stories have been adapted into films, two of which adaptations (*Spider,* 2002 and *The Grotesque*, 1995) were written by McGrath himself. The film adaptation for *Asylum*, 2005 was written by Patrick Marber and a short film made of *The Lost Explorer* from *Blood and Water and Other Tales* was adapted by Tim Walker. From *The Wardrobe Mistress* to the current unnamed novel-in-progress on the Spanish Civil War, McGrath shows increased interest in the fascistic tendencies in international politics and its effects on the psychology of characters. In the former, for example, the main character Joan Grice uncovers the man she had been living with for a long time, who recently died, had been in the past a member of Mosley's British Union of Fascists. This revelation is so upsetting that causes her to get crazy, and her mental breakdown is signed by a murderous act. Similarly, in McGrath's *Last Days in Cleaver Square* (2021), the narrator, an old man called Francis McNulty—a Spanish civil war veteran—is haunted by Francisco Franco's ghost, which appears in his London garden, and later in his bed, too. He is so much obsessed with his hallucinations that at a certain point, while in Madrid, Franco's spirit causes him to commit a bizarre act of atonement.

## Other works

* *Blood and Water and Other Tales* (1989) (short-story collection)
* *Ghost Town: Tales of Manhattan Then and Now* (2005) (linked short stories)
* *Writing Madness* (entire collected short stories from 1989 to 2014, along with four decades of selected criticism; prefaced by Joyce Carol Oates with seven original engravings from Harry Brockway. A 2017 Bram Stoker Award finalist; a 2018 World Fantasy Award winner ("Special Award – Professional").

McGrath has also co-edited and written the introduction to a highly influential anthology of short fiction, *The New Gothic.*

He has published many reviews and essays, including introductions to *Barnaby Rudge*, *Moby Dick*, *The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde*, and *In a Glass Darkly.*

title: Paul Edwin Zimmer

abstract: Paul Edwin Zimmer was an American poet and author. He was also an accomplished swordsman and founding member of the Society for Creative Anachronism. His sister Marion Zimmer Bradley was also a science fiction and fantasy author. He is best known for his Dark Border series - a set of four published books: The Lost Prince, King Chondos' Ride, A Gathering of Heroes, Ingulf the Mad and one still awaiting publication, The King who was of Old. He also co-wrote The Blood of Colyn Muir with his foster brother Don Studebaker and Hunters of the Red Moon and The Survivors with his sister. He is also supposed to have collaborated with Bradley without credit on The Spell Sword. Some of his poetry is available in the collection A Woman of the Elf Mounds. His long poem "Logan" appeared in Jerry Pournelle's There Will Be War vol VIII. The poem is about a 19th-century First Nations leader, so it did not fit into the anthology's theme about future warfare, but Pournelle included it out of respect for its merits. Zimmer began his writing as a poet, experimenting with Welsh and Old Norse forms before turning to prose. Nonetheless he weaves what sounds like ancient poetry through his stories, such as the ballad of "Pertap's Ride", parts of which are scattered through the Dark Border series. Zimmer was also one of the original members of the Society for Creative Anachronism, where he was known as Master Edwin Berserk, as well as being active in Bay Area poetry and neopagan circles. He is credited with having popularized the bardic circle originated by Karen Anderson, a self-entertainment at parties in which each participant can read, recite or sing, ask someone else to do so, or pass. Whether the credit is accurate, Zimmer was widely considered one of the best coordinators of bardic circles, and was frequently asked to run them wherever he happened to be. Although not of Scottish heritage, Zimmer was often seen at conventions and other public occasions dressed in the MacAlpin tartan, complete with sporran. At home, he frequently wore a blue bathrobe, appearing in normal clothing only when needing to deal with officials or others outside his circle. Zimmer habitually wrote at night, and many visitors can attest to him pacing up and down as he thought through plot and wording problems, or pausing to do a martial arts dance with his swords. Zimmer spent much of his life at Greyhaven, the sprawling communal house in Elmwood district of the Berkeley hills, the home of author Diana L. Paxson, and is featured in the Greyhaven Anthology which was edited by Marion Zimmer Bradley. Some of the characters in Paul Edwin Zimmer's books, such as the Hastur share names with characters created by Marion Zimmer Bradley. Zimmer himself claimed that the similarity of names was due only to shared influences, and the shared names are found in the older works of literature. Zimmer died while a guest of honor at Albacon, a science fiction convention in Schenectady, New York, which he attended in part so he could visit his older brother on the family farm. He suffered a heart attack in room 707 at the Boskone party. EMTs in the room immediately started CPR, to no avail. He was cremated and his ashes buried in the family plot in Canandaigua, NY.

Zimmer spent much of his life at Greyhaven, the sprawling communal house in Elmwood district of the Berkeley hills, the home of author Diana L. Paxson (among others), and is featured in the (out of print) *Greyhaven Anthology* which was edited by Marion Zimmer Bradley.

Some of the characters in Paul Edwin Zimmer's books, such as the Hastur share names with characters created by Marion Zimmer Bradley (such as those in  *The Heritage of Hastur*). Zimmer himself claimed that the similarity of names was due only to shared influences, and the shared names are found in the older works of literature (see below).

Zimmer died while a guest of honor at Albacon, a science fiction convention in Schenectady, New York, which he attended in part so he could visit his older brother on the family farm. He suffered a heart attack in room 707 at the Boskone party. EMTs in the room immediately started CPR, to no avail. He was cremated and his ashes buried in the family plot in Canandaigua, NY.

## Background to the *Dark Border* series

Zimmer's tales were set on a world that was divided between the forces of light and darkness, within a universe that had been ravaged by ancient malevolent cosmic entities - known as the eight Dark Lords - that were capable of destroying entire galaxies.

This world was repopulated by men brought from another universe by a benign and immensely powerful being known as Hastur, who in tandem with Awan A'Towith, last of an immortal race of giants who possessed vast powers over gravity and mass, had driven the eight Dark Lords from the reclaimed world and then from the universe itself. A thousand years later, when mankind had spread over all the world raising great kingdoms and realms that lay across the various continents like a jeweled mantle, a thief broke into the great fortresses of Carcosa, the chief stronghold of Hastur, and stole a mystic artifact. This theft broke the spell that held the Dark Lords at bay behind the vast mystic barriers erected by Hastur and allowed these fell beings to return.

Unimaginable devastation followed as realm after realm was ravaged and consumed in the wake of the passing of the Dark Lords, even the Hasturs were not safe from their onslaught, far across the sea on the Island continent of Y'Gora their great city of Astorimin was taken from the world by the dark things and trapped in another dimension, where it is said, that it lies sleeping still protected by the magic ring of Hastur.

To make matters worse Hastur himself and his ally Awan A'Towith had disappeared, leaving only their less powerful descendants to face the might of the eight Dark Lords and their hordes of evil servants.

In a conflict that was long and hard-fought, that saw great losses suffered by the Hasturs and their allies, the sons and grandsons of Hastur, with the aid of the great Elf Host of Mananan and Nuadan, succeeded in driving the Dark Lords from the world and once again raised the weakened barriers.

But they were not entirely successful in ridding the world of evil: many of the lesser creatures of the dark — demons, vampires and goblins (the least powerful of the evil servants of the Dark Lords) — lingered and forged a realm on the slopes of the mountain chain that ran almost the entire length of the main continent. Using dark magic, they caused a shadow to perpetually cloak their realm, making it safe from the sun, which was an anathema to them, and from the powers of the Hasturs.

Drained after their efforts to banish their great foes and too weak to rid the world of these lesser creatures, the Hasturs raised mystic wards that fenced in the area infested with the dark things.

Thus was created the Dark Border, over which the Hasturs maintained an ever vigilant watch. Over the thousands of years that have followed, the Dark Border has fluctuated. Sometimes the dark things had surged forth and ravaged the kingdoms of man that bordered their land and increased the size of their realm. Other times they have been driven back by the valour of men and the power of the Hastur clan.

The danger of the dark things is ever present...

A thousand years ago the Shadow consumed the Empire of Tarkkaria forcing the last of the Takkars to flee to a province that was all that remained of their land. Little more than a century ago a Seynyorean mercenary Ricarrho Divega married into the royal family and begun to forge a kingdom, he humbled the proud Mondavans and conquered Mahapor, he also brought the many squabbling principalities and city states into line. His son Olansos continued his work conquering the rich city states of the seas coast and the fertile lands north of the Border countries and grew rich on taxes he levied on the conquered territories.

Twenty years ago Olansos wife Tarani gave birth to twins.

One was stolen at birth by a renegade wizard and raised within the depths of the Shadow. For years heroes searched the shadow for the lost prince to no avail.

The Dark Things have devised a plan of conquest that involves the twin princes, that if successful will allow the borders of the Shadow to be pushed to the Sea and perhaps beyond.

## Key characters

**Hastur**, An ancient and immensely powerful being possessing both psionic and mystical abilities, leader of the Hastur clan, the guardians of the world against the dark things. Hastur himself is never seen but his descendants are, chief amongst them is Kandol Shadow-slayer who is approximately 5000 years old.

**Dark Things**, evil creatures that rule the shadow, the realm founded on the mountain range of the main continent fenced in by the mystic barriers of the Hasturs.

**Istvan Divega**, a world-renowned swordsman who is a master of the three swords school and mercenary leader, who travels the world fighting for various kings and emperors as well as the Hasturs when required. Zimmer told his friend Bruce Byfield that Divega was based partly on watching noted science fiction and fantasy writer Fritz Leiber as an old man fencing.

Istvan is an older man who has outlived his son and wife, and who fears the onset of old age and the infirmity that it brings. Yet despite these fears his skill with the sword is undiminished. His body, although not as strong as it once was, still has its lightning quick reflexes honed through years of battle and training, while his mind is as sharp as it ever was, despite all the horrors and ruin that he has seen in his years of fighting. Istvan remains a man of principle, a man of honour, whose word once given is unbreakable. He has been summoned by his cousin Olansos the King of Tarencia to help oversee the investiture of his son prince Chondos. Olansos is aware that Chondos has personal issues that could lead to his undoing once he is gone and hopes that Istvan may aid the young prince in sorting them out before they become a danger to himself and the Kingdom at large.

Istvan bears a Hastur sword, a weapon made by the Hasturs that reacts to the presence of the dark things, and that is capable of destroying creatures of shadow and is virtually indestructible.

Despite his skill as a swordsman he is best known as Istvan the Archer - a name he hates and is ashamed of, because it refers to an incident in his youth in which he slaughtered men from afar. Ironically, it was in this incident that he first gained fame and his almost inhuman skill with the bow became known. In "A Gathering of Heroes" a famed Elven archer tells Istvan that it has been almost a century since he has seen a mortal shoot as well as Istvan.

**Martos of Onantunga**, a young hero who has come to Tarencia seeking fame in the long struggle against the creatures of the Dark Border. He is the foremost student of Birthran of Kadar an old friend of Istvan Divega who is also a sword master of the 3 swords school. He struggles to balance his sense of honor against his love of fame and his need to make his way in the world, and his wish for accomplishment against his sense of responsibility for his pregnant lover Kumari. When tragedy results in civil war, he finds himself pitted strategically—and, occasionally, personally --- against Istvan Divega in a clash that, as in the Iliad, has no right or wrong side and could be a tragedy for both.

**Ironfist Arac**, A giant warrior who is famed for his freakish strength and legendary skill with the axe. An old comrade of Istvan, he leads a mercenary troop of Carrodian Axe men, a form of heavy infantry. They have been hired by the King of Tarencia to help patrol the dark border.

**Svaran**, Commander of the armies of Sarlow and their deadliest warrior. He is not as skillful or as fast as Grom Beardless or as strong as Vor Half Troll his lieutenants. However, he wears a close fitting suit of dwarf forged plate armour that is proof against mystic Hastur and Elven swords, rendering Svaran virtually invulnerable in combat. He is sometimes known as Svaran the Invincible or the Black. He appears in "A Gathering of Heroes" and "Ingulf the Mad".

**Grom Beardless**, a Captain of the armies of Sarlow, an exceptionally skilled warrior and deadly swordsman who is feared and respected throughout the Island continent of Y'Gora. He is acknowledged even by the sorcerers of Sarlow as their best swordsman. He appears in "A Gathering of Heroes" and "Ingulf the Mad".

**Carroll Mac Lir**, Most famous of the heroes of Y'gora, a former slave of the Sarlowaq he escaped and discovered the mystic sword he now bears, which was said to belong to the last great hero of the former realm now known as Sarlow before its conquest by the Sarlowaq. He has fought all along the borders of the three kingdoms that lie on the edges of the vast forest of demons on the Island continent of Y'Gora battling the armies of Sarlow and their allies the Norians. He has fought Svaran the invincible and Grom Beardless and lived to tell the tale. He appears in "A Gathering of Heroes" and "Ingulf the Mad".

# Paul Shmyr

**Paul Shmyr** (January 18, 1946 – September 2, 2004) was a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman who played in the World Hockey Association (WHA) and National Hockey League (NHL). He featured in the 1971 Stanley Cup Finals with the Chicago Black Hawks and the 1981 Stanley Cup Finals with the Minnesota North Stars.

## Playing career

Shmyr was one of the top defensive stars in the short history of the WHA, noted for his hard-nosed play, having jumped from the NHL's California Golden Seals to the upstart Cleveland Crusaders. He played four seasons for Cleveland, garnering the league's top defenceman trophy in 1976. He subsequently played for the WHA's San Diego Mariners, where he enjoyed his best offensive campaign, and played two years for the Edmonton Oilers, captaining the club to a regular season league championship in the WHA's final season. As captain, he elected to wear a Cyrillic "К" instead of the customary captain's "C" due to his Ukrainian heritage.

After the WHA folded, the Minnesota North Stars, which owned his rights, reclaimed him, and as a noted leader, was named to captain the North Stars in 1979. While the Stars' captain, he led them to a semifinal appearance in 1980 and to the 1981 Stanley Cup Finals, where they lost to the New York Islanders. He then signed with the Hartford Whalers as a free agent in 1981 and retired after one season.

Shmyr was named to the WHA's First All-Star Team in 1973, 1974, and 1976, and to its Second All-Star Team in 1979. He finished third in the WHA's career leaders for games played, twentieth in assists, and fourth in penalty minutes. He represented Canada at the 1974 Summit Series and was one of only two WHAers (the other being Bobby Hull) to be invited to try out for Team Canada at the 1976 Canada Cup, though he failed to make the team.

He was from a hockey-playing family; his younger brother John Shmyr also played in the WHA. Shmyr died of throat cancer in 2004, at the age of 58.

## Honours

In 2010, he was elected as an inaugural inductee into the World Hockey Association Hall of Fame.

# Patti Pavilion

The **Patti Pavilion** is a venue for the performing arts in Swansea, Wales, located at Victoria Park to the south west of Swansea City Centre. The theatre stages plays, pantomimes, musical shows and fairs.

## History

The venue is named after Adelina Patti, the great 19th-century opera soprano. The building was originally sited in her winter garden at Craig-y-Nos estate. Patti donated the building to the City of Swansea in 1918 and it was relocated to Victoria Park. It is a Grade II listed building.

In 1994, it was given a superficial makeover by the BBC's *Challenge Anneka*. Already falling into disrepair, the building was further damaged by a suspected arson attack in 2006 The pavilion underwent a major £3m overhaul in 2009 after it became clear that it was not being utilised to its full potential. The project was funded by the City & County of Swansea. Work began in late 2007 to extend the Patti Pavilion with a new glass covered wing housing an Indian restaurant; Patti Raj, which has subsequently been rebranded as Adelinas Bar and Indian Kitchen.

Rock bands that have played at the Patti Pavilion include Spider (British band), Mountain (band) with Leslie West and Corky Laing, and Hayseed Dixie. Other bands that have played the venue include: Phil Campbell and the Bastard sons, Quireboys, Discharge, Big Country, Massive Wagons, Fozzy, Goldie Looking chain, FM and Reef

# Patti Paniccia

**Patti Paniccia** (born 19 Sept 1952) is an American law professor, lawyer, journalist and former professional surfer.

## Early life and education

Born in Glendale, California, Paniccia grew up in Los Angeles and Huntington Beach, as well as in Waialua, Hawai‘i.

She graduated from the University of Hawai'i with a BA in Communication in 1977 and from Pepperdine Law School in 1981.

## Career

### Surfing

Paniccia was a co-founder of the Hawai'i Women’s Surfing Hui, a group of women surfers formed in 1974 that sought recognition for female athletes and equality in surfing competitions. As the Hui’s Pro Competition Director, she worked with Fred Hemmings to create an improved rating and invitation system for women and ran the first open qualifying contest for women seeking invitations to pro contests.

Paniccia is a co-founder of professional surfing. In 1976 she joined with Hemmings and Randy Rarick to form International Professional Surfing in order to launch the first world tour. Paniccia was Director of the Women's Division.

She is recognized as one of the early women who professionally surfed Hawaii's big waves. In 1976 she qualified for the first Lancer’s Women’s World Cup held in on the North Shore of Oahu, which was the first women’s event broadcast on a national sports program. She took 7th place. The contest, held January 7, 1976, was broadcast May 9, 1976 on CBS Sports Spectacular.

She was one of six women who competed on the first women’s world pro surfing circuit in 1976, which included six contests in Hawaii, Brazil and South Africa. IPS declined to give official rankings or name a women's world champion until the following year, at which point Paniccia retired from competition to continue working with IPS to expand the women’s tour to include California and Australia.

Working with other women surfers in the Hui, Paniccia helped to create the North Shore Haleiwa Menehune Surf Contest in 1977 for children ages 3–12.

### Journalism

After leaving the pro surfing circuit, Paniccia pursued a career in journalism in 1982. She held reporter and anchor positions at KEYT-ABC Santa Barbara and KCOP-TV in Los Angeles before becoming a network news correspondent at CNN’s Los Angeles Bureau.

After Paniccia became pregnant with her first child while at CNN in 1990, CNN Executive Vice-President Ed Turner criticized her choice to have children and questioned her ability to continue working. Upon the birth of her second child in 1992, Paniccia was fired on the assumption that she would be incapable of maintaining a regular work schedule while caring for two children. A pregnancy discrimination suit she brought against CNN garnered national attention. CNN settled the case two years later. Terms were not disclosed.

In 1987 Paniccia began teaching First Amendment law as an adjunct professor at Pepperdine Law School. After her discrimination lawsuit, she instituted two additional classes, *Gender and Law* and *Employment Discrimination Law.* She is a frequent commenter on issues of gender discrimination.

In 1997, she created Pepperdine’s Patti Paniccia Law Scholarship, which financially assists students who are raising minor children.

## Awards and recognition

In 1988 Paniccia received an Emmy nomination from the Los Angeles Area Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for an investigative series on the Los Angeles justice system's failure to adequately deal with infant abuse.

In 2000 and again in 2018, she was awarded Pepperdine Law School’s David McKibben Excellence in Teaching Award.

In 2005 Paniccia was honored at the kickoff event of the Women's Pro Tour at Waimea Bay, Hawaii. In 2015 she was featured in an exhibit called “Trailblazers in Women’s Surfing” at the Surfing Heritage and Culture Center in San Clemente, California. In 2018 she was invited to give a keynote speech for an exhibit and gala at the Surfing Heritage and Culture Center, "Women Making Waves," in which she addressed past and current discrimination against women surfers.

**Gérald Cyprien Lacroix** ISPX (French pronunciation: \[lakʁwa\]; born July 27, 1957) is a Canadian Catholic prelate who has served as the Archbishop of Quebec and Primate of Canada since 2011. He has been a cardinal since 22 February 2014. He was previously Auxiliary Bishop of Quebec. He is a member of the Council of Cardinals and the Secular Institute Pius X.

## Early life

Lacroix was born on 27 July 1957 in Saint-Hilaire-de-Dorset in the Archdiocese of Quebec and completed his secondary and higher education at Trinity High School in Manchester, New Hampshire, and Saint Anselm College in the neighbouring town of Goffstown. He then studied for his theological training at Université Laval, obtaining a Bachelor of Arts degree in theology. He continued with a master's degree in pastoral theology. In 1975 he was accepted at the Pius X Secular Institute and took perpetual vows in 1982.

## Priesthood

In 1982, Lacroix became Secretary General of the institute, and since 1985 has been Director of the General Council. From 1985 to 1987, he was appointed general manager of the institute's Christian formation and spiritual centre. He was ordained priest on 8 October 1988 by Archbishop Maurice Couture in the Parish of Notre-Dame-de-la-Récouvrance.

From 1990 to 2000, Lacroix worked in Colombia, where he opened new houses of the institute. From 2001 to 2004, he was Director General of the institute, and re-elected for five years from 2005 to 2010.

## Episcopacy

Lacroix was appointed Titular Bishop of Ilta and Auxiliary Bishop of Quebec on 7 April 2009, and received episcopal consecration on 24 May with Marc Ouellet as principal consecrator, the principal co-consecrators being Maurice Couture and Gilles Lemay.

On 22 February 2011, Lacroix was appointed Archbishop of Quebec and Primate of Canada, replacing Marc Ouellet, who had been appointed Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops on 30 June 2010. During the *sede vacante* after the death of Pope John Paul II, Lacroix was elected diocesan administrator by the College of Consultors. He is currently one of the co-chairmen of the Committee on Life and Family of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops. After his appointment, Lacroix said that he would continue the work of Ouellet and re-evangelize the province. Lacroix noted that he favours a discussion-based approach. "I'm going to be different. One thing is certain: I will preach the Gospel. If people expect something else, they'll be disappointed", he said.

Lacroix received an honorary doctorate in divinity from Saint Anselm College at the college's 118th commencement exercises held on 21 May 2011. He was also the commencement speaker.

Lacroix received the pallium from Pope Benedict on 29 June 2011, the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul in Rome along with all other metropolitan archbishops appointed since 2010. He was elevated to the College of Cardinals by Pope Francis at the consistory on 22 February 2014.

In October 2016, Lacroix was appointed a member of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments in addition to his other duties.

On 7 March 2023, Lacroix was appointed to the Council of Cardinal Advisors.

On 25 January 2024, Lacroix was named in a class action lawsuit against the Archdiocese of Quebec, alleging he touched a 17 year old female in 1987 and 1988, allegations Lacroix has since denied.The unnamed woman has not made any report to the police or to the Church.

On May 21, 2024, the Holy See Press Office confirmed it dismissed the anonymous complaint of abuse versus Lacroix after investigation by André Denis, retired Judge of Superior Court of Quebec. He resumed his duties on July 22, 2024 and further announced he will preside at the Solemn Mass of the feast of Saint Anne in the Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré.
