# Mercy Akide

**Mercy Joy Akide Udoh** (née **Akide**; born 26 August 1975) is a Nigerian former footballer who played as a midfielder for the Nigeria women's national football team.

## Early life

Mercy started playing football at the age of five with her oldest brother Seleipiri and younger brother Ipali in the sandy field of Bundu Waterside, near Port Harcourt Prisons in Port Harcourt. Her speed was recognized from a young age, and when she was 12 years old, at Holy Rosary Secondary School in Port Harcourt, she took part in long-distance races, running the 400m, 800m and 1500m races against older competitors. She was also a regional table tennis champion, but soccer was the sport where she really stood out.

Mercy earned the nickname "Ske", which in local parlance meant "skinny", while playing against boys at Mile 1 in Port Harcourt. Among her many admirers then was a young kid called Chidi Odiah, who is now a full Nigeria international, playing club football with CSKA Moscow.

In consideration of her skills in particular, a group of youth soccer organisers put together a girls' tournament to select the girls who would become "the Garden City Queens".

After two years of playing for the Queens, and turning down the overtures of the rival Port Harcourt-based Larry's Angels, Akide left Port Harcourt for Lagos to continue both education and soccer with Jegede Babes under the influence of Princess Bola Jegede.

## Career

### Garden City Queens

At that time, the Nigerian Women's league was in its formative years and Garden City Queens was not among the top teams such as Jegede Babes, Ufuoma Babes and Larry's Angels. The club played mostly exhibition games around the state with Akide as the star attraction. She averaged nearly five goals per game during the two years she spent at the club. One of those friendly games was against elite team Jegede Babes, and although the Queens lost 6–1, Akide scored the only goal for her side.

Club proprietor Princess Bola Jegede was so impressed by her that she promptly offered her a place in her club.

### Jegede Babes

Akide joined Jegede Babes just as Nigeria were taking part in the inaugural Women's World Cup in China in 1991. With an already established strike force in place, Akide was moved to central midfield for the 1992 season where she took time to adjust. But by the 1993 season, she emerged highest goalscorer in both league and Cup. She plundered 16 goals in the league and another 8 in the Challenge Cup. She took the form into the next season, scoring 15 goals in the 1994 league season and 10 in the Challenge Cup to earn herself a call-up to coach Ismaila Mabo's national camp. Unfortunately, her goals were not enough to help Jegede to either title.

### Ufuoma Babes

After returning from the 1995 FIFA Women's World Cup, Akide (who had by now earned the nickname of Marvelous) pitched tent with Warri-based club Ufuoma Babes, who had won the league and Cup double in the previous two years. It was to be a rewarding move. Her 17 goals in the league and 9 in the Challenge Cup helped Ufuoma to the double. It was the first of many titles. The next season, she hit 11 league goals and 10 Challenge Cup goals and Ufuoma Babes continued their dominance of the domestic league. Akide still finished with the top goalscoring honours in 1997. She scored 14 league goals and 8 Challenge Cup goals as Ufuoma romped to their fourth consecutive double. Pelican Stars dethroned Ufuoma Babes in both the league and Cup in 1998 with Akide scoring a disappointing 10 league goals and 7 in the Challenge Cup.

### Pelican Stars

Akide spent only one year with Pelican Stars, but it was a rewarding year, trophy wise. Pelican again won the double even though Akide only managed 9 league goals and 6 Challenge Cup goals. By the time the season was over, Akide had earned a scholarship to Milligan College in Tennessee, United States, after a scintillating World Cup performance with the Super Falcons. In her only season at the school, she recorded 42 goals and 15 assists, setting a record for goals and points (99) in a season.

## International career

Her two seasons of consistency with Jegede Babes, where she scored a total of 49 goals in two seasons, caught the attention of national coach Ismaila Mabo and Mercy was called to camp in 1994. But another rush of goals, 17 in the league and 9 in the Challenge Cup earned her a recall. Her international debut came soon after, a World Cup qualifier against Sierra Leone in Ibadan with Mercy playing as a winger. She marked it with two goals. She scored one more in the return leg to cement her place in the team. In 2001, she was named the first African Women Footballer of the Year, and was a 1999 and 2004 FIFA World All-Star.

She has played for Nigeria in three FIFA Women's World Cups and also helped Nigeria's Super Falcons to three African Women Championships (AWC) titles in 1998, 2000 and 2002. In November 2004, she married football journalist Colin Udoh in her home town of Port Harcourt.

In 2005, she was named by FIFA as one of its 15 Ambassadors for Women Football.

## Coaching career

Between 2006 and 2008, Mercy was employed at Stars Soccer Club, where she was the head coach for Stars U-16 Athena C Gold Girls and worked within Youth Development (an NGO also employing her friend Luke Concannon, a coach of the U-13 girls team.) From 2008 to 2013, Mercy worked as the co-director of Youth Development and for Beach FC in Virginia Beach, Virginia. In 2013, Mercy joined the coaching staff of Virginia Rush Soccer Club, in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

# Van Stephenson

**Van Wesley Stephenson** (November 4, 1953 – April 8, 2001) was an American singer-songwriter. He scored three US *Billboard* Hot 100 hits in the 1980s as a solo artist, and later became tenor vocalist in the country music band BlackHawk in the 1990s. In addition, Van co-wrote several singles for other artists, such as Restless Heart. Stephenson died of melanoma in 2001.

## Biography

Stephenson was born in Hamilton, Ohio, but moved to Nashville, Tennessee, when he was ten years old, and he played in garage bands as a teenager. He graduated from seminary school and wrote songs on the side in the 1970s; his first chart hit as a songwriter was for Crystal Gayle, who cracked the US country Top Ten with his "Your Kisses Will" in 1979. Stephenson went on to write hits for Kenny Rogers, Dan Seals, Janie Fricke, and John Anderson. Partnering with Dave Robbins, Stephenson wrote a string of hits for Restless Heart and would continue to work with Robbins later in his career.

Stephenson landed a recording contract of his own with Handshake Records, through which he released his first solo album, *China Girl*, in 1981. He later signed with MCA, and his second album, *Righteous Anger*, was released in 1984. He scored big on the Billboard charts with "Modern Day Delilah" peaking at No. 22, and a second hit, "What the Big Girls Do", peaked at No. 45. *Righteous Anger* charted at No. 54 on the *Billboard* 200, but his follow-up 1986 disc, *Suspicious Heart*, did not chart, nor did its lead single, "We're Doing Alright." It also included two songs featured on movie soundtracks: "Make It Glamorous" from the 1984 film *The Wild Life* and "No Secrets" from the 1985 film *Secret Admirer*. Stephenson returned to songwriting duties until the early 1990s, when he became one-third of BlackHawk, a successful country group, through the end of the decade. In February 1999, Stephenson was diagnosed with melanoma and underwent surgery. He left the group in February 2000 to continue battling the cancer, but he died on the morning of April 8, 2001, as a result of the disease.

# Meat Market: Female Flesh Under Capitalism

***Meat Market: Female Flesh Under Capitalism*** is a 2011 book by British journalist, author and political activist Laurie Penny, which they describe as their "little anti-capitalist-feminist pop-theory book".

## Background

The book is critical of "the patriarchal capitalist machine", the sexualisation of women and gender stereotyping, and the capitalist economic system which entrenches discrimination towards women.

## Content

* Introduction: Branded Bodies – Penny gives an overview of how female flesh is a resource and commodity, while women are simultaneously the biggest consumers. They state that the book is "an attempt to chart some of the ways in which women's bodies are marginalized and controlled under late capitalism."

* Chapter 1: An Anatomy of Modern Frigidity – Penny begins the novel by discussing the supposed rise of "raunch culture", exemplified by things such as Girls Gone Wild and the Playboy Bunny. They speak of how since sex sells, much of advertisement has been sexualized, but that we are sold an artificial and unrealistic portrayal of sex and sexuality. Furthermore, real sex exists as a threat to capital, as it cannot be branded, mass-produced and resold to us. They then speak of how all women put in a great amount of time and work into becoming sexual objects, but sex work itself is stigmatized and made illegal in society, and that sex workers are some of the most marginalized members of society. They note how sex work is done mostly out of economic necessity, and very rarely out of desire, and therefore sex work should be framed as an economic question and not a moral one.

* Chapter 2: Taking Up Space – In this chapter Penny largely focuses on eating disorders, particularly anorexia. Penny highlights the stories of two young women, Jo and Hannah, who give adverse testimony to the usual ideas surrounding anorexia. Instead of developing the eating disorder to conform to beauty standards, the two confess that they were anorexic in order to look ugly and un-feminine. They go on to note that anorexia awareness campaigns either glamorize and sexualize those suffering from the eating disorder, or they trivialize those suffering and make the women look weak and helpless. Penny rounds out the chapter by giving a personal account of their own struggles dealing with anorexia.

* Chapter 3: Gender Capital – Penny rejects the idea of female body essentialism in defining womanhood. They reject ideas that transgender individuals are either men trying to invade female spaces or repressed homosexuals who would rather change their gender than be in a same-sex relationship. They explain how it is rational for those who wish to be addressed by the gender they feel to feel they must give social cues to those around them. They go on to note that the female identity is something that must be purchased and added to the flesh, and that trans-women know this better than any other group. Trans women often want to live outside gender norms as much as other women, but they are expected to prove their femininity on a routine basis. They also reject the ideas that feminists get to be "gatekeepers" of what is and is not female, and that such gatekeepers are antithetical to feminism as a whole.

* Chapter 4: Dirty Work – Penny explains how capitalism is essential to the marginalization of domestic work. Spaces of work became separate during the industrial revolution, where the home became a private sphere created for women to work on creating and sustaining life. The justification for this separation of the genders quickly took on a social Darwinist approach and the creation of the myth of prehistoric hunter-gatherer gender roles. Furthermore, they explain that men's refusal to gain competency in domestic work is not only a guide to keep women in traditional positions, but also prevents men from achieving independence, making them dependent on women to have a functioning home. Penny tells how many women who have escaped domestic drudgery have simply passed the work on to some other woman that they employ to do the work for them. They round out the books by mentioning that without domestic work western society would crumble.

## Reception

In *The Independent*, Abby O'Reilly described the work as "a nutritious thought-snack for emergent feminists and those approaching female cultural positioning from a socialist perspective" whilst it was described in *Peace News* as "a great first book on feminism by a worthy successor to Wolf, Greer and Woolf". In the *Oxonian Review*, the book was praised as a "a stirring call to political action" while in *Red Pepper* Jennie O'Hara wrote that the *Meat Market* was "refreshing reading" in its rebuttal of anti-sex feminism. Eleanor Davies of The Anti-capitalist Initiative believes that while the book shows "articulate, sharp observations", it is lacking due to Penny showing no solutions as we head forward.

title: GMC Sprint / Caballero

abstract: The GMC Sprint is a coupe utility/pickup that was produced by GMC for the 1971–1977 model years. The Sprint was renamed Caballero for the 1978 model year, and produced through 1987. The rear-wheel-drive car-based pickups were sold by GMC Truck dealers primarily in the United States and Canada as the GMC version of the Chevrolet El Camino. Trim designations, emblems, and wheel trim differentiate the GMC from the Chevrolet. The vehicles were built on the General Motors A platform through 1981; for 1982, it was re-designated the G platform as the A platform switched to front-wheel drive.

In 1971 GMC began producing the Sprint, their version of the Chevrolet El Camino. This light-duty pickup truck was identical to the El Camino except for the name, and the chassis for both cars was based on the Chevrolet Chevelle station wagon/4-door sedan wheelbase. The Sprint's first year was also the first year for mandated lower-octane unleaded fuel which necessitated a reduction in engine compression; GM's A.I.R. system, a "smog pump", was added to control tailpipe emissions. 1972 was the last year for the third generation El Camino, resulting in a two-year generation for Sprint. For 1972, little changed but for lower power outputs. Engine offerings for 1971–72 included the 250 cubic-inch OHV inline Six, small block V8s of 307 and 350 cubic inches; and big block V8s of 402 and 454 cubic-inch displacements. Horsepower ratings of those engines for 1971 ranged from 145 for the six to 365 for the 454—all in gross figures. For 1972, horsepower measurements were switched to the "net" figures as installed in a vehicle with all accessories and emission controllers hooked up—this change brought the horsepower ratings for 1972 down to a range from 110 horsepower (82 kW) for the six to 270 for the 454 V8. The Sprint shared exterior and interior trims with the Chevelle Malibu and El Camino including cloth and vinyl or all-vinyl bench seats and deep twist carpeting. All-vinyl Strato bucket seats and center console were optional.

Both the El Camino and Sprint shared the same body styling as the Chevelle from the cowl to the front bumper. The 1971 models featured the Chevelle's twin parking light lenses, dual "high intensity" headlights and horizontally-divided front grille. A large "GMC" badge replaced the Chevy bowtie and for models with optional engines, engine badges (depicting cubic inch size), identical to those of the counterpart Chevrolet, were placed just below the divider bar on the left side of the grille. Both years featured rear end styling taken from the Chevelle station wagon (and were shared with El Camino).

For 1972, the Sprint was given the updated Chevelle front end styling, retaining the "GMC" and optional engine badges in their 1971 locations.

The Sprint has the same design, features, and equipment as the El Camino, with some renamed. It was offered as "Standard" or "Custom". The inline six was only available on the "Standard". Like the Chevelle and El Camino, the GMC Sprint could be ordered with a standard 3-speed Synchro-Mesh manual transmission, an optional four-speed Synchro-Mesh manual, or the Turbo Hydra-Matic three-speed automatic transmission. Luxury options, such as air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, and power locks, were also available at extra cost.

#### Sprint SP

The SP package, only offered on the Sprint Custom, was GMC's own equivalent of the Chevrolet SS package. It included the same features as the Chevrolet. The Sprint SP was an option package, RPO YE7, rather than a distinct model. Engines were an L48 350 4 barrel, LS3 400 (402) big block, and the LS5 454 365 hp big block.

For 1973, all GM A-body vehicles were redesigned. It was the largest generation of the Sprint, but thanks to lighter construction, it weighed less than the previous generation. Engine offerings during this period included a 250 cubic-inch inline six, as well as a variety of V8s, including the 305, 350 and 400 cubic-inch versions of the Chevy small-block V8, plus the 454 Turbo-Jet big block through 1975. GMC carried over the "Standard" and "Custom" Sprint designations. The inline six was still only available on the "Standard". Catalytic converters were added to all engines beginning with the 1975 model. Other than annual grill revisions and a switch to quad-stacked, rectangular headlights in 1976, the Sprint remained relatively unchanged through 1977, when the "Sprint" name was replaced with "Caballero" for 1978.

#### Sprint SP

The Chevelle SS was dropped after 1973, but the El Camino was one of the few Chevrolet models to retain an SS package. Following suit, GMC continued to offer the Sprint with an SP package, though it was still only available on the Sprint Custom. It no longer included the two fat hood stripes, and the 454 Turbo-Jet big block V8 was discontinued after 1975.

### Nameplate

The word "Caballero" is from the Spanish language. Its most common definition today in the Americas is "gentleman", though its technical definition is "horseman" (caballo meaning horse) or "knight". These are, in turn, related to the English "cowboy" (though the more appropriate Spanish equivalent of "cowboy" would be vaquero, based on "vaca" for "cow"). The Caballero name was previously used as a top trim level on the hardtop Buick Century Station wagon.

GMC's use of a Spanish-derived name was perhaps a response to the El Camino's own borrowing from Spanish colonial history (via the assumed reference to El Camino Real, the "King's Road", lit. "Regal Road"). Until 1979, Ford offered a similar vehicle, the Ford Ranchero, also with a Spanish name ("Rancher"). GMC also offered special trim packages for the Caballero under other Spanish names: Diablo, Laredo, Amarillo. As for the car's old nameplate, GM would later revive the Sprint name for a rebadged Suzuki Cultus sold under the Chevrolet banner.

### Overview

The Caballero and the fifth generation El Camino shared their mechanical parts with the Chevrolet Malibu series, but rode on a 9-inch longer wheelbase. Other than different nameplates and minor trim variations, it is difficult to distinguish a Caballero from an El Camino at more than 10 paces distance. It was largely for this reason that the Caballero did not sell in the higher volumes that the El Camino did over the years (many never even knew a GMC version existed), though that rarity now counts as a plus to many Caballero fans and collectors. Exterior appearance remained largely the same over the truck's nine-year lifespan, with the biggest changes through the years coming mostly in the form of grille design. From 1978 through 1981, this consisted of either "eggcrate" style (1978), horizontal bars (1979 and 1981) or vertical bars (1980). Then for 1982, the front end was changed to a full-width grille design housing four headlights and a four-row crosshatch pattern; this persisted through the vehicle's demise in 1987.

Caballero interiors featured a bench seat in standard models, though an upgrade to bucket seats with a center console and floor-mounted shifter was available. Most models with automatic transmission carried the shifter on the steering column. Cloth or vinyl upholstery choices were offered in a variety of colors. The instrument panel originally featured a "strip" style of speedometer, with the needle making a long sweep across a horizontal line of numbers to indicate speed. This was changed for 1981 to a more conventional round dial format, with some further minor tweaks for 1986. The 1987 model year was the end of the line for GM's North American coupe utilities, which included 420 leftover El Caminos and 325 Cabelleros that were reported first sold in 1988.

#### Laredo and Amarillo

Offered from 1978 until 1980 only, the Laredo was a Caballero equivalent to the El Camino's luxurious Conquista package. Equipment included two-tone paint in various color combinations and a "Laredo" decal on the tailgate.

For 1981, the Laredo became known as the Amarillo, and this name would continue through 1987. With the exception of the different name decal on the tailgate, the package was substantially the same. GMC changed this package's name at about the same time as Jeep began using the "Laredo" name (as a trim level with the 1980 CJ-7) for a variety of special models in their own line - later evolving into a trim package with its XJ Cherokee and the midlevel (later base) trim level with the Grand Cherokee.

#### Diablo

The sporty Diablo package began in 1978 as an equivalent to the El Camino's Black Knight (1978)/Royal Knight (post-1978) package (which was, in turn, an upgrade from the long-running Super Sport package). Both the Royal Knight and the Diablo carried a hood graphic not unlike that featured on the Pontiac Trans Am; the Diablo's was in a symmetrical flame pattern that resembled a demon. Besides the hood accents, Diablo also came with lower-body accent paint, body-color mirrors, black-trimmed window frames, a front air dam, color-matched "Rally" steel wheels with trim rings, and a large "Diablo" decal on the tailgate.

When Chevrolet dropped the Royal Knight option from the El Camino option list for 1982, GMC's Diablo remained but was now analogous to the "normal" Super Sport model. This meant that the flame decal was gone, but little else changed. However, when the El Camino Super Sport gained a new dealer optioned aerodynamic front end from Choo Choo Customs for 1984, the Diablo stuck with the same front end it had carried since the final factory front clip revision (for the Malibus, El Caminos and Caballeros) from 1982. The Diablo was offered through the end of the Caballero line in 1987.

## Modern revival

Holden, GM's Australian division, has offered coupe-pickup models similar to the Caballero for years under the Ute name. Like the Caballero and El Camino, Holden's Ute is based on a car platform - in this case the long-running Commodore series. Rebadged Holden Utes were offered in South Africa as Chevrolet El Camino, and later the Lumina Ute.

For the 2008 model year, GM introduced an American version of the Commodore sedan called the Pontiac G8. Sometime after the announcement of the G8, GM announced that they would also be shipping over a revised version of the Ute. Since Pontiac shares most of its dealerships with GMC franchises, there was wide speculation that the Ute would be rebadged as a GMC (though not necessarily a Caballero or Sprint). However, GM later announced that the new pickup would also be Pontiac-branded, as the G8 ST. In January 2009, GM announced to dealers the G8 ST was cancelled due to budget cuts and restructuring.

And still, there was a chance that a coupe - pickup (or rather, a "sedan – pickup") could return to GMC. General Motors executive Robert Lutz announced in January 2008 that the division will display a GMC-badged version of the Holden Crewman, a four-door version of the standard Holden Ute pickup, at the New York Auto Show in March. Ultimately, the intended show vehicle eventuated as something quite different, in the GMC Denali XT Hybrid Concept, designed by GM Holden upon the Zeta platform, but bearing no resemblance to existing Holden product ... it debuted at the 2008 Chicago Auto Show, but plans for production based upon this unibody concept were subsequently cancelled circa September 2009.

### Pontiac concept

In 1974, GMC's sister division, Pontiac, reportedly took an El Camino body, grafted the urethane-nose front end from its Grand Am series, added the Grand Am's instrument panel, Strato bucket seats with recliners and adjustable lumbar support, along with Pontiac's Rally II wheels as a styling exercise for a possible Pontiac version of the El Camino/Sprint. The concept however never reached production. Another show car version was also created in the late 1970s but never left the concept stage.

# Jean Victor Marie Moreau

**Jean Victor Marie Moreau** (French pronunciation: \[ʒɑ̃ viktɔʁ maʁi mɔʁo\], 14 February 1763 – 2 September 1813) was a French general who helped Napoleon Bonaparte rise to power, but later became his chief military and political rival and was banished to the United States. He is among the foremost French generals in military history.

## Biography

### Rise to fame

Moreau was born at Morlaix in Brittany. His father was a successful lawyer, and instead of allowing Moreau to enter the army, as he attempted to do, insisted on Moreau studying law at the University of Rennes. Young Moreau showed no inclination for law, but reveled in the freedom of student life. Instead of taking his degree, he continued to live with the students as their hero and leader, and formed them into a sort of army, which he commanded as their provost. When 1789 came, he commanded the students in the daily affrays which took place at Rennes between the young noblesse and the populace.

In 1791, Moreau was elected a lieutenant colonel of the volunteers of Ille-et-Vilaine. With them he served under Charles François Dumouriez, and in 1793 the good order of his battalion, and his own martial character and republican principles, secured his promotion as *général de brigade*. Lazare Carnot promoted Moreau to be *général de division* early in 1794, and gave him command of the right wing of the army under Charles Pichegru, in Flanders.

The 1794 Battle of Tourcoing established Moreau's military fame, and in 1795 he was given the command of the Army of the Rhine and Moselle, with which he crossed the Rhine and advanced into Germany. He was at first completely successful and won several victories and penetrated to the Isar, but at last had to retreat before the Archduke Charles of Austria. However, the skill he displayed in conducting his retreat—which was considered a model for such operations—greatly enhanced his own reputation, the more so as he managed to bring back with him more than 5000 prisoners.

### Intrigues

In 1797, after prolonged difficulties caused by want of funds and materiel, he crossed the Rhine again, but his operations were checked by the conclusion of the preliminaries of Peace of Leoben between Bonaparte and the Austrians. It was at this time he found a traitorous correspondence between his old comrade and commander Charles Pichegru and the émigré Prince de Condé. He had already appeared as Pichegru's defender against imputations of disloyalty, and now he foolishly concealed his discovery, with the result that he has ever since been suspected of at least partial complicity. Too late to clear himself, he sent the correspondence to Paris and issued a proclamation to the army denouncing Pichegru as a traitor.

Moreau was dismissed, and only re-employed in 1799, when the absence of Bonaparte and the victorious advance of the Russian commander Aleksandr Suvorov made it necessary to have some tried and experienced general in Italy. He commanded the Army of Italy, with little success, for a short time before being appointed to the Army of the Rhine, and remained with Barthelemy Catherine Joubert, his successor in Italy, until the Battle of Novi had been fought and lost. Joubert fell in the battle, and Moreau then conducted the retreat of the army to Genoa, where he handed over the command to Jean Étienne Championnet. When Bonaparte returned from the French campaign in Egypt and Syria, he found Moreau in Paris, greatly dissatisfied with the French Directory government both as a general and as a republican, and obtained his assistance in the *coup d'état* of 18 Brumaire, when Moreau commanded the force which confined two of the directors in the Luxembourg Palace.

In reward, Napoleon again gave him command of the Army of the Rhine, with which he forced back the Austrians from the Rhine to the Isar. On his return to Paris he married 19-year-old Eugénie Hulot, born in Mauritius and friend of Joséphine de Beauharnais, an ambitious woman who gained a complete ascendancy over him. After spending a few weeks with the army in Germany and winning the celebrated Battle of Hohenlinden (3 December 1800), he settled down to enjoy the fortune he had acquired during his campaigns. His wife collected around her all who were discontented with the aggrandisement of Napoleon. This "Club Moreau" annoyed Napoleon, and encouraged the Royalists, but Moreau, though not unwilling to become a military dictator to restore the republic, would be no party to an intrigue for the restoration of Louis XVIII. All this was well known to Napoleon, who seized the conspirators.

Moreau's condemnation was procured only by great pressure being brought to bear by Bonaparte on the judges; and after it was pronounced the First Consul treated him with a pretense of leniency, commuting a sentence of imprisonment to one of banishment. In 1804, Moreau passed through Spain and embarked for America.

### Banished from France

Moreau arrived with his wife in New York City, in August 1805. He was received with enthusiasm in the United States, but refusing all offers of service he traveled for some time through the country and settled in 1806 in Pennsylvania, where he bought a villa formerly belonging to Robert Morris near the Delaware River in Morrisville, across the river from Trenton. He lived there until 1813, dividing his time between fishing, hunting, and social intercourse. His abode was the refuge of all political exiles, and representatives of foreign powers tried to induce him to raise his sword against Napoleon. At the outbreak of the War of 1812, President James Madison offered him the command of the U.S. troops. Moreau was willing to accept, but after hearing the news of the destruction of the Grande Armée in Russia in November 1812, he decided to return to Europe.

Moreau, probably at the instigation of his wife, returned to Europe and began to negotiate with an old friend from the circle of republican intriguers: the former Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte, now Crown prince Charles John of Sweden (later King Charles XIV of Sweden). Charles John and Tsar Alexander I of Russia were now together with the Prussians and the Austrians leading an army against Napoleon. Moreau, who wished to see Napoleon defeated and a republican government installed, gave advice to the Swedish and Russian leaders about how best to defeat France. Moreau was mortally wounded in the Battle of Dresden on 27 August 1813 while he was talking to Tsar Alexander and died on 2 September in Louny. Earlier, on 17 August 1813, the tsar had demanded the post of supreme commander of the allied armies for himself, with Moreau and Antoine-Henri Jomini as his deputies, a request that had been resisted with great difficulty by Austrian Foreign Minister Klemens von Metternich since the post had already been offered to and taken by Karl Philipp, Prince of Schwarzenberg. After Moreau was shot down at his side, the tsar observed to Metternich: "God has uttered his judgment. He was of your opinion".

Moreau was buried in the Catholic Church of St. Catherine in St. Petersburg. His wife received a pension from the tsar, and Moreau was given the rank of Marshal of France by Louis XVIII, but the Bonapartists spoke of his "defection" and compared him to Dumouriez and Pichegru.

## Legacy

Moreau's fame as a general stands very high, his combinations were skillful and elaborate, and he kept calm under pressure. Moreau was a sincere republican, although his own father was guillotined in the Reign of Terror. His final words, "Soyez tranquilles, messieurs; c'est mon sort," ("Be calm, gentlemen; this is my fate") suggest that he did not regret being removed from his equivocal position as a general in arms against his own country.

The town of Moreau, New York is named after him.

Valentin Pikul's 1985 novel, *Kazhdomu svoyo*, centers on Moreau.

# Woolaston

**Woolaston** is a village and civil parish in the Forest of Dean district of Gloucestershire in South West England. It lies on the north side of the Severn Estuary approximately 5 miles (8.0 kilometres) from the Welsh border at Chepstow and is surrounded by woodland and agricultural land.

## Development of the village

Work has begun to develop the dairy into a small housing development. Recent developments have consolidated rather than expanded the village footprint.

Traveling north west from Netherend with its primary school, village shop and 'The Netherend' pub, you pass what was once the Methodist chapel, then 'Birchwood Road', leading to a housing estate, the 'Ring Fence' a small lane with a number of cottages along it, the 'Rising Sun' one of the village's two public houses and the village allotments.

Woolaston Common is about 1 mile from the main A48 road and north of the main village. Here there is a small hamlet of houses and an area of common ground which, for the most part of the year, is covered in bracken. Adjoining the common is also another hamlet called Sandtumps.

## Governance

The village falls in the 'Hewelsfield and Woolaston' electoral ward. This ward stretches from Brockweir in the north east to *Woolaston*. The total population of the ward taken at the 2011 census was 1,690.

## St. Andrew's Church

St. Andrew's parish church at Woolaston is about a mile south west of Netherend along the A48 towards Chepstow. The earliest record of its existence is in 1131. However, the old circular churchyard and the nearby Roman road, which ran just to the north-west of the church, suggest a much earlier holy site. The Tower was originally a low one with a short wooden steeple, but following the granting of a faculty in 1774, it was completely rebuilt. It was threatened with closure in 2007 but at the final Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve it was announced the Church will be saved.

## Stroat Church and ruined Bible Christian chapel

Stroat Church (previously known as Stroat Mission) is located three miles out of Woolaston on the A48 towards Chepstow. It has been involved in the village of Woolaston for over 120 years.

Its history began with Squire Morgan and his family in the 1880s. They were evangelical Anglicans with a deep concern for the people of the Parish of Tidenham and in particular for those living in Woodcroft and, these being the distinctly rural areas where they most felt a need to evangelise. Scattered though the community was, the work they embarked upon at Woodcroft prospered. People came to worship from a wide area by whatever means they could, but mostly on foot or by horse and cart. Today the car has replaced the cart and the roads are lined with optical fibre broadband, but the countryside is still much as it was back then.

It was in 1889 that the Morgans bought a plot of ground at Stroat and in that same year erected a corrugated iron building that became known as the Iron Room. As the years rolled on Stroat became independent of Woodcoft.

There is a derelict Bible Christian chapel, built in 1836, on Woodside Road, near its junction with Slade Road.

title: Vicarage Hill

abstract: Vicarage Hill is a cricket ground located in East Challow, Oxfordshire. Situated on the site of a park which has been in existence since the 1890s, the ground is surrounded to the west by the road from which it gets its name, to the south by the Ickleton Road and to the north and east by farmland. Oxfordshire first used the ground in the 1993 Minor Counties Championship against Wiltshire, playing a single Minor Counties Championship match in their season, with the exception of 1997, when two matches were played there. No Minor Counties Championship match was played there in 1998, but the ground did hold its first MCCA Knockout Trophy matches in that season when Oxfordshire played the Nottinghamshire Cricket Board, Norfolk and Shropshire. The ground held a single Minor Counties Championship match in 1999, before hosting the Kent Cricket Board in an MCCA Knockout Trophy match the following season. The only List A match to be played there was played in the 2001 Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy between Oxfordshire and Huntingdonshire. Huntingdonshire made 252/5 from their 50 overs, with Wayne Larkins top-scoring with 73. Oxfordshire were dismissed for 175 in their chase to lose the match by 77 runs. Since 2001, the ground has played host to one Minor Counties Championship match each season, as well as several MCCA Knockout Trophy matches since 2000. The ground is home to Challow & Childrey Cricket Club.

# Mesh

A **mesh** is a barrier made of interlaced strands of metal, fiber or other flexible or ductile materials. A mesh is similar to a web or a net in that it has many interwoven strands.

## Types

* A plastic mesh may be extruded, oriented, expanded, woven or tubular. It can be made from polypropylene, polyethylene, nylon, PVC or PTFE.
* A metal mesh may be woven, knitted, welded, expanded, sintered, photo-chemically etched or electroformed (screen filter) from steel or other metals.
* In clothing, mesh is loosely woven or knitted fabric that has many closely spaced holes. Knitted mesh is frequently used for modern sports jerseys and other clothing like hosiery and lingerie
* A meshed skin graft is a piece of harvested skin that has been systematically fenestrated to create a mesh-like patch. Meshing of skin grafts provides coverage of a greater surface area at the recipient site, and also allows for the egress of excess serous or sanguinous fluid, which can compromise the graft establishment via formation of haematoma or seroma. However, it results in a rather pebbled appearance upon healing that may ultimately look less aesthetically pleasing.
* Fiberglass mesh is a neatly woven, crisscross pattern of fiberglass thread that can be used to create new products such as door screens, filtration components, and reinforced adhesive tapes. It is commonly sprayed with a PVC coating to make it stronger, last longer, and to prevent skin irritation.
* Coiled wire fabric is a type of mesh that is constructed by interlocking metal wire coils via a simple corkscrew method. The resulting spirals are then woven together to create a flexible metal fabric panel. Coiled wire fabric mesh is a product that is used by architects to design commercial and residential structures. It is also used in industrial settings to protect personnel and contain debris. Additionally, coiled wire fabric mesh is used for zoo enclosures, typically aviary and small mammal exhibits.

## Uses

* Meshes are often used to screen out insects. Wire screens on windows and mosquito netting are meshes.
* Wire screens can be used to shield against radio frequency radiation, e.g. in microwave ovens and Faraday cages.
* Metal and nylon wire mesh filters are used in filtration.
* Wire mesh is used in guarding for secure areas and as protection in the form of vandal screens.
* Wire mesh can be fabricated to produce park benches, waste baskets and other baskets for material handling.
* Woven meshes are basic to screen printing.
* Surgical mesh is used to provide a reinforcing structure in surgical procedures like inguinal hernioplasty, and umbilical hernia repair.
* Meshes are used as drum heads in practice and electronic drum sets.
* Fence for livestock or poultry (chicken wire or hardware cloth)
* Humane animal trapping uses woven or welded wire mesh cages (chicken wire or hardware cloth) to trap wild animals like raccoons and skunks in populated areas.
* Meshes can be used for eyes in masks.

# Mark Levine (musician)

**Mark Jay Levine** (October 4, 1938 – January 27, 2022) was an American jazz pianist, trombonist, composer, author and educator.

## Early life

Mark Jay Levine was born in Concord, New Hampshire, on October 4, 1938. He began playing the piano at the age of five and started trombone in his early teens. He attended Boston University, and graduated with a degree in music in 1960. He also studied privately with Jaki Byard, Hall Overton, and Herb Pomeroy.

## Career

After graduating, Levine moved to New York, where he freelanced and then played with musicians including Houston Person (1966), Mongo Santamaría (1969–70), and Willie Bobo (1971–74). Levine then moved to San Francisco, and played there with Woody Shaw in 1975–76. Levine made his first recording as a leader for Catalyst Records in 1976. He also played with the Blue Mitchell/Harold Land Quintet (1975–79), Joe Henderson, Stan Getz, Bobby Hutcherson, Luis Gasca, and Cal Tjader (1979–83). From 1980 to 1983, he concentrated on valve trombone, but then returned to playing mainly the piano. He then led his own bands, and recorded for Concord as a leader in 1983 and 1985. From 1992 Levine was part of Henderson's big band. Levine created a new trio in 1996 and recorded it for his own, eponymous label. His Latin jazz group, Que Calor, was formed in 1997.

Levine began teaching in 1970: in addition to private lessons, he worked at Diablo Valley College (1979–95), Mills College (1985–95), Antioch University in San Francisco (1986–87), the San Francisco Conservatory of Music (1992–97), Sonoma State University (1989-1990), and the JazzSchool in Berkeley (from 1997). Levine also wrote two method books: *The Jazz Piano Book* (1990), and *The Jazz Theory Book* (around 1995). He was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Latin Jazz Album in 2003 for his recording *Isla*.

## Personal life and death

Levine died of pneumonia on January 27, 2022, at the age of 83.

# Émilienne Morin

**Émilienne Léontine Morin** (28 October 1901 – 14 February 1991) was a French anarcho-syndicalist, shorthand typist and partner of Buenaventura Durruti. In 1936, she was part of the Durruti column, an anarchist military unit, during the Spanish Civil War. She was nicknamed "Mimi-FAI" after the Federación Anarquista Ibérica (FAI).

## Early life

Émilienne Clemence Léontine Morin was born on 28 October 1901 in Angers, Maine-et-Loire, France, the daughter of Léontine Ernestine Giroux, a factory worker, and Étienne Morin, an anarcho-syndicalist activist in the Building Workers' Union. Her parents married 19 December 1904. Morin was involved in revolutionary circles from a very young age and was active in 15th arrondissement group of the Jeunesses syndicalistes and in 1923 was a member of their Bureau.

In 1916, she was the secretary of the pacifist and anti-militarist newspaper *Ce qu'il faut dire*, founded by Sébastien Faure and Mauricius to oppose the Manifesto of the Sixteen.

In 1924, she married the Italian libertarian activist Mario Cascari, (also known as Cesario Tafani and Oscar Barodi) in Yerres, although they soon divorced.

On 14 July 1927, Morin met Spanish anarchist Buenaventura Durruti at the *Librairie internationale anarchiste (*International Anarchist Bookshop) in Paris. They became life partners until his death. On the same day, her friend Berthe Fabert also met her future life partner, Francisco Ascaso, at the bookshop.

## Brussels

In July 1927, Durruti was expelled from France into Belgium and Morin gave up her job as a shorthand typist to join him in Brussels where many Spanish anarchists were living below the radar. She met Juan Manuel Molina Mateo and Lola Iturbe, co-founder of the libertarian women's organisation Mujeres Libres there at the beginning of 1928. Iturbe described her as " *a very pleasant young woman, with a fair complexion and blue eyes, with her hair cut in a boyish style. Her energetic character, ideological convictions and oratory skills were evident in the public controversies - especially with the communists - that took place in the Maison du Peuple in Brussels*."

Morin and Durutti led a difficult life in Belgium. She sometimes worked while he was unemployed and took care of the household chores.

## Spain

In 1931, the couple travelled to Spain where the Second Spanish Republic had just been proclaimed. Morin took part in the activities of the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo, and worked on their publications.

On 4 December 1931, their daughter Colette Durruti was born in Barcelona. Given Durutti's many absences and imprisonments, Morin brought her up virtually single-handedly, with the help of an anarchist friend, Teresa Margaleff, who sometimes acted as a nanny whilst Morin worked as an usherette at the Goya Theatre. From her arrival in Spain, Morin sent regular articles on "*Choses d’Espagne*" to the French anarchist newspaper *Le Libertaire*.

Following the Spanish coup of July 1936 and the Spanish Revolution of 1936, Morin joined the Durruti Column on the Aragon front, part of the wder Spanish Civil War. The column (military unit) was made up of around 6,000 men and women, some of the women fought and died on the front lines, such as Pepita Inglés. As early as August, Morin was among the administrators of the Column's headquarters, where she was in charge of the press office.

On 20 November 1936 Durruti was killed on the Madrid front. Morin attended his huge funeral on 23 November 1936.

## Return to France

Morin and her daughter returned to France in 1937, setting up home at 5 Villa Stendhal in Paris, and she campaigned, by word and deed, for the Spanish revolutionaries. On 27 May 1937, she was one of the speakers - along with Haussard, Sébastien Faure, Fidel Miro, Bernardo Pou and Cortes - at the large support meeting held by the Union Anarchiste at the Salle de la Mutualité in Paris, attended by about 4,000 people.

Four large rooms at 28 Boulevard Saint Denis were rented in her name in September 1937 as an office for the publication *La Nouvelle Espagne antifasciste/La Nueva España antifascista*, whose editor was Nemesio Galve, who defended the official line of the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo and Federación Anarquista Ibérica.

On 22 November 1938 she chaired a meeting to commemorate Durutti held at the Salle de la Mutualité by the Union Anarchiste, where E. Frémont, Suzanne Levy, P. Herrera and Chazoff.

Morin collaborated with the Solidaridad Internacional Antifascista (SIA) organisation run by Louis Lecoin and Nicolas Faucier, particularly to collect funds and aid for Spanish refugees interned in camps in the south of France. In July 1938 she published her memories of the Front in the newspaper *Le Libertaire*, the publication of the Union Anarchiste.

## Later life

After the war, she kept close links with many Spanish libertarian refugees.

Émilienne Morin later retired to Quimper and died there in l'Hospital de Cornouaille on 14 February 1991.

# Megan Rose Gedris

**Megan Rose Gedris** (born June 12, 1986) is a mostly self-taught American cartoonist, writer, and publisher whose most well-known comics include *YU+ME:dream* and *I Was Kidnapped By Lesbian Pirates From Outer Space.* They are commonly regarded for writing about the advancement of women, LGBTQIAP+, sex and body-positivity within their work.

## Work

### *YU+ME:dream* (2004–2010)

*YU+ME:dream* is a webcomic begun in 2004, using manga and other types of styles, about an 18-year-old girl named Fiona who spends all her time dreaming. At home, she lives with her father and stepmother and while she is not at home, she frequently experiences bullying at the hands of her classmates at West Catholic High. Enter Lia: a new girl at school. Fiona is confused by Lia until she arrives at the realization that girls can be in love with girls. The two begin a secret relationship, however, while they are attending a school dance, Fiona discovers that the past few months have merely been a very long dream while she was in a coma. The remaining two-thirds of the story follow Fiona's attempts to return to Dreamworld, find Lia, and resume their relationship against the wishes of Sadako, Queen of Dreamworld. The Dreamworld sequences employ a number of different art styles, including collage and clay modeling, to portray different realms of the imaginary world. The webcomic won the second Queer Press Grant from Prism Comics which allowed Gedris to publish the first collected volume of the series.

Gedris writes, "So many stories (bad ones) end with '. . . and it was all a dream.' But I always wanted to know what would happen after that. How would this affect someone’s life." Therefore, the "it was all a dream" twist comes not at the end of the story, but one-third of the way through. According to Gedris, "I put my twists in the middle, rather than the end. . . . Instead of ending with it being a dream, we follow how things go after the dream ends."

### *Lesbian Pirates from Outer Space* (2006– )

Gedris' second webcomic, *I Was Kidnapped By Lesbian Pirates from Outer Space* (usually shortened to *Lesbian Pirates from Outer Space* or *LPFOS*), created in 2006, centers on Susan Bell, a secretary living in the 1950s who is kidnapped by a group of titular lesbian pirates. *Lesbian Pirates from Outer Space* follows the humorous and occasionally risqué situations that develop as Susan lives alongside them, and chronicles Susan's eventual realization that she too is homosexual. The lesbian pirates are a race of Amazonesque beings who come from a planet referred to as "Lesbos-1," named after the Greek island of Lesbos.

Gedris created the webcomic as an antidote to the portrayals of lesbians in the comics media. The webcomic is based on Cold War-era lesbian pulp novels. Gedris entered the Platinum Comics Comic Book Challenge and was a finalist (first place going to D.J. Coffman for *Hero by Night*). As a result, Platinum Studios began publishing the webcomic via the Drunk Duck webcomics site; in May 2008, the first story arc was published in print. Prism Comics stated that the webcomic had "laugh out loud moments in every issue". The webcomic was one of the most popular titles on Drunk Duck since its debut.

In November 2013, Gedris took all 18 chapters of *Lesbian Pirates From Outer Space* down from the web, where it had been hosted by Platinum Studios since 2007. They said the company had not paid them since 2007, and had strung them along for years with false promises.

### *Darlin' It's Betta Down Where It's Wetta* (2010– )

Renowned for its many sexual puns, *Darlin' It's Betta Down Where It's Wetta* chronicles the misadventures of Pearl the mermaid, who only understands human genitalia as it is told through legends. Until, a naked girl who has been shipwrecked appears and she quickly fills in the gaps of her anatomical knowledge-base. Then, she goes on an adventurous quest to find a vagina from the infamous Sea Witch.

This book is part of their *Filthy Figments* collection and it is widely considered to be their most erotic release of all time.

### *Meaty Yogurt* (2010– )

This book centers around teenage Jackie Monroe who is suffering from "small town boredom" in her city of Middleville, which is under a curse thanks to the fact it was built upon an Indian tribe's stolen land. She always strives to make her life as interesting as possible but is weighed down by other people's lack of ambition and death. Because she is so fickle with things such as choosing her college major or starting then stopping screenplays, she struggles to follow through with this. Her idol, Moira, is an out-of-town musician and Jackie's best friend, Saffron's girlfriend. Moira has been through a lot of positive and negative things, making Jackie constantly switch between idolizing and then hating her because of her own insecurities about being awkward and indecisive.

*Meaty Yogurt*'s art style is much more realistic and subdued compared to Gedris' other works.

### *Spectacle* (2018)

In *Spectacle,* published 2018 by Oni Press, Gedris shares the story of Anna, a pragmatic engineer who despite working as a psychic at the Samson Brothers Circus, is completely skeptical of the supernatural. That is, until her twin sister, Kat, is stabbed suddenly and after she dies she gets reincarnated into a needy ghost. The two, who have consistently had problems sharing in their childhood, must now share a body together to find Kat's killer. With their troupe backing the pair upon numerous paranormal occurrences at the circus, the effort to identify them still seems hopeless. On their journey there, they discover that the killer wasn't the scariest thing there at all.

On Gedris' website, they offer a "Meet the Cast" bonus for fans who want to know more about the characters. Their character illustration in this book frequently resembles a doll and the appearance as a whole is very colorful. Anna's narration bubbles are said to be casting spells of its own as they are wrapped into the side pieces. There is a planned second book to be released either late 2018 or early 2019.

## Accomplishments

Gedris was once mentioned in a list of influential female independent and underground comic creators by Liorah Golomb.

The webcomic won the second Queer Press Grant from Prism Comics which allowed Gedris to publish the first collected volume of the series, *YU+Me:dream*.

## Personal life

According to Gedris, the name Rosalarian comes from a nickname their dad gave them when they were growing up because he used to call them by their middle name Rose, and just started messing around with it.

One of their motivations for starting their comics career was their experience at a comics store as a young still-closeted queer woman where they noticed the abundance of sexualized women on the covers suggesting that they wanted "better" as these "stories were not even stories". They have also said they enjoyed reading *yuri* manga but at one point received the impression that the stories became predictable and so Gedris decided to create their own comic. Comic culture has permeated every aspect of their life and always has.

Gedris has indicated before that they enjoy keeping things like romance private, but been very open about their interest in Burlesque dancing, which has not allegedly impacted their work as a writer, but it has generally improved their work ethic. Gedris has also been a traveling performer since 2012. Gedris is very active on social media and occasionally shows little tidbits from their life in between uploading art and informal comic strips on several of their profiles. This, along with their website and Patreon page, is the primary medium through which Gedris connects with their fanbase.

Gedris has indicated that they identify as nonbinary or genderfluid, and uses "they/them" pronouns, describing their personality as "made up of several districts who all vote on what our overall identity will be on any given day. Usually the majority of the districts vote femme. But there are a lot of swing districts who will vote masc or independent."

# McBride/Charlie Leake Field Aerodrome

**McBride/Charlie Leake Field Aerodrome** (TC LID: **CAV4**) is on the southwest side of the Fraser River about 0.8 nautical miles (1.5 km; 0.9 mi) north northwest of McBride, British Columbia, Canada.

## Earlier activity

In the early 1920s, an Air Board de Havilland DH-4 landed at McDonald's farm. In April 1929, a Cessna AW made an emergency landing in a field. Muddy conditions made a departure that day impossible, but the ground freezing overnight allowed a successful takeoff next morning. That July, USAAC Capt. Russ G. Hoyt experienced engine trouble with his Curtiss Hawk XP-6B. Gliding into a field of soft sand, the right wheel struck a mound, turning the aircraft upside down.

## Airstrip to the southeast

In 1951, a 910-by-150-metre (3,000 by 500 ft) field donated by Adolph Jeck was selected for the airstrip. The east–west alignment was on the east side of the river, about 2.9 nautical miles (5.4 km; 3.3 mi) southeast of the village on Jeck Rd.

Despite expectations, construction activities were not completed by fall. In the following spring, donations and volunteer labour resumed the work.

In August 1952, a Cessna 170 was the first aircraft to land on the completed runway.

## Airstrip to the north

In the early 1960s, this longer airfield replaced the former one.

In 1972, the airport received a $40,000 federal grant. In 1978, an $83,000 provincial grant enabled a 150-metre (500 ft) runway extension and paving of the apron and taxiway. However, the runway was still too short for medevacs.

In 1983, the village council approved the erection of a new hangar large enough to house two planes. The next year, the runway was repaved and drainage improved.

In 1990, Prince George consultants undertook an airport expansion study. In 1992, a Rapattack base, which included helicopter facilities, storage and employee accommodation, was established for dealing with wildfires in the area. In 1995, a new helicopter hangar was erected. In 1997, McBride received a grant for Phases I and II of the airport upgrade.

During McBride's 75th Anniversary celebrations in 2007, the airport was renamed to honour resident Lieutenant Colonel Charles (Charlie) Leake.

In 2016, the airport received a $20,887 grant for runway rehabilitation. By 2019, the runway still could not accommodate the fixed wing aircraft used for medevacs. Patients triaged in McBride were transported to Prince George by helicopter or ground ambulance.

A $75,000 grant was applied in 2020 to install an Automatic Weather Observing System (AWOS), which monitors current conditions. In 2021, the airport received a $401,687 grant to replace access road culverts. In 2023, a $259,000 grant was applied to runway and taxiway maintenance and replacing a damaged culvert.

The village owns and operates the airport and employs a part time airport manager. Infrastructure includes several private hangars, the provincial forestry Rapattack base, and bulk aviation fuel storage.

The immediate goal is to extend the runway 240 metres (800 ft). The long-term strategy is a 1,100-metre (3,500 ft) total length, and basing rotary wing aircraft at the north end of the runway and fixed wing at the south end. Erecting a terminal containing a waiting room, indoor washrooms, and pilot lounge is desirable.

## Accidents and incidents

* August 1962: A Cessna Crane overshot the runway on landing and proceeded through the adjacent fields. This was the ninth incident on the short airstrip. Six weeks earlier a Cessna 180 had struck a marker and flipped.
* September 1975: A small plane experienced engine trouble on takeoff and crashed into some willows.

# Pierre Monsan

**Pierre Monsan** (born June 25, 1948, in Prades, Pyrénées-Orientales, France) is a French biochemist and entrepreneur. He is currently Professor emeritus at the Institut national des sciences appliquées de Toulouse (INSA Toulouse, affiliated to the University of Toulouse) and the founding director of the pre-industrial demonstrator *Toulouse White Biotechnology* (TWB).

Monsan's scientific interests include biocatalysis, biochemical and enzyme engineering. Beyond his academic work, Monsan is co-inventor on numerous patents and co-founded several industrial biotechnology companies.

## Education and career

Monsan was educated at INSA Toulouse and the University of Toulouse where he graduated with an engineer degree (*Ingénieur diplômé)* in Biological Chemistry in 1969. He was then awarded his Doctor-Engineer Degree in 1971 and his PhD degree in 1977 from INSA Toulouse for research on enzyme immobilization. He served as lecturer in the Department of Biochemical Engineering at INSA Toulouse from 1969 and was later promoted to Assistant Professor (1973) and then Professor (1981).

In 1984, Monsan took a leave from Academia and co-founded BioEurope, a startup company specialized in industrial biocatalysis. There he served as CSO from 1984 to 1989, CEO from 1989 to 1993 and CSO again from 1993 to 1999 after the acquisition of the company by the Solabia Group. In 1993, Monsan returned to INSA Toulouse to lead a research group focusing on the discovery, characterisation and molecular engineering of enzymes, including glucansucrases and lipases. He was also appointed Professor at Ecole des Mines-ParisTech in 1993. From 1999 to 2003 he served as head of Department of Biochemical Engineering at INSA Toulouse. In 2012, he founded the pre-industrial demonstrator “Toulouse White Biotechnology” (TWB) with a €20M grant within the framework of the *Investing for the Future* national program (also called the *grand emprunt*) and served as its founding director until 2019.

Monsan is presently Professor emeritus at INSA Toulouse and the CEO of Cell-Easy, a start-up specializing in the production of stem cells.

## Scientific work

Research by Monsan and his collaborators has focused on biocatalysis, biochemical engineering and enzyme engineering, published in over 230 articles. His fundamental includes investigation of structure-activity relationships of enzymes, (particularly glycoside hydrolases and lipases), and enzyme discovery by functional metagenomics. His more applied research involves biocatalysis in non-conventional (anhydrous) media for the synthesis of chemicals (*e.g.*, chiral resolution to obtain enantiopure compounds), protein engineering (e.g. modification of substrate specificity, enantioselectivity, or thermostability), methods for enzyme immobilization, and bioreactor design and development.

## Technology transfer and entrepreneurship

Monsan has been heavily involved in technology transfer throughout his career and is co-inventor of over 60 patents. He has developed several industrial biocatalytic processes for the production of polysaccharides, oligosaccharides and amino acid derivatives. Companies he has co-founded include BioEurope (1984; biocatalytic synthesis of reagents for the food, pharma and nutrition industries; now owned by the Solabia group), Biotrade (1996; waste water treatment) and Genibio (1998, food additives). He is and has been member of the scientific advisory board of several companies, including Danisco Venture, PCAS, or Deinove.

In 2012, Monsan founded the pre-industrial demonstrator Toulouse White Biotechnology (TWB), an original institute dedicated to technology transfer through a consortium of public and industrial partners. TWB promotes industrial biotechnology and biobased economy through collaborative public/private research and development projects (*e.g.*, THANAPLAST project in partnership with Carbios) and the creation of startups such as EnobraQ (development of yeasts able to metabolize CO2) or Pili (production of bacterial ink).
