# Nicolás Maduro Guerra

**Nicolás Ernesto Maduro Guerra** (born 20 March 1990) is a Venezuelan politician and the son of the President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro. Since 2021 Maduro Jr. is a member of the Venezuelan National Assembly, the unicameral legislative body of Venezuela.

He served as Head of the Corps of Special Inspectors of the Presidency and Coordinator of the National Film School of Venezuela, appointed by his father. Maduro Jr. also served in 2014 as the delegate of El Valle Capital District to the United Socialist Party of Venezuela party congress.

## Early life and education

Maduro Guerra was born in Venezuela on 21 June 1990. He is the son of his father's first marriage with Adriana Guerra Angulo. As a child, he was interested in arts and between 1998 and 2004, he was a flautist in Venezuela's El Sistema program. Though Maduro Guerra sought a career in music, he placed 77 of 235 on a waiting list for the National Experimental University of the Arts and decided to abandon the idea. His high school scores were "not extraordinary", he scored 42.368% in reading classes and 64.461% in mathematics, graduating from Liceo Urbaneja Achelpohl School.

Maduro Guerra attended the National Experimental University of the Armed Forces where he specialized in economics. In 2011, he began working for the Public Ministry of Venezuela until his condition became unknown among the organization in 2014.

## Political career

Maduro Guerra's political career began shortly after his father became President of Venezuela. On 23 September 2013, he was appointed by his father as Head of the Corps of Special Inspectors of the Presidency, an organization designated to observe the effects of policies implemented by the President of Venezuela. On his 24th birthday on 21 June 2014, his father again appointed him as Coordinator of the National Film School of Venezuela. Prior to his appointments, Maduro Guerra had little experience as a politician and no experience in cinema.

On 21 July 2014, the PSUV held a party congress and voted for Maduro Guerra to be a delegate for the El Valle Capital District.

### Constituent Assembly

Following the 2017 Venezuelan Constituent Assembly election, Maduro Guerra was elected into the 2017 Constituent Assembly of Venezuela.

On 11 August 2017, US President Donald Trump said that he is "not going to rule out a military option" to confront the government of Nicolás Maduro and the deepening crisis in Venezuela. Maduro Guerra responded, stating during the 5th Constituent Assembly of Venezuela session that if the United States were to attack Venezuela, "the rifles would arrive in New York, Mr. Trump, we would arrive and \[even\] take the White House".

## Controversy

### Nepotism

His father President Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores were accused of nepotism for allegedly placing family members in Venezuelan government positions. His appointment as Head of the Corps of Special Inspectors of the Presidency was criticized as an example of his family's alleged nepotism.

On 25 January 2017, President Maduro again named his son as the director of a newly established position, the Director General of Presidential Delegations and Instructions of the Vice President, raising more allegations of nepotism.

### José Zalt wedding incident

At the wedding of José Zalt, a Syrian-Venezuelan businessman that owns the clothing brand Wintex, on 14 March 2015, Maduro Guerra was showered with American dollars at the gathering in the luxurious Gran Melia Hotel in Caracas. The incident caused outrage among Venezuelans who believed this to be hypocritical of President Maduro, especially since many Venezuelans were experiencing hardships due to the poor state of the economy and due to the president's public denouncements of capitalism. During a PSUV National Congress, Maduro Guerra responded to the incident, calling it "gossip".

### Photograph incident

During a first communion party in the Creole Club of Maracaibo, a woman named Rita Morales took photographs of Maduro Guerra with her cellphone. According to witnesses, Maduro arrived at the party surrounded by bodyguards and far from the rest of the guests. The bodyguards tried to take the cellphone away from Morales and force her to delete the pictures after realizing that Maduro was photographed. Morales refused and left the party; days after the incident, she was visited by officers that, according to witnesses, broke her cellphone. On 8 June 2017, officers of the Bolivarian Intelligence Service (SEBIN) detained Morales and her husband when they were about to aboard a private flight to Aruba in the La Chinita International Airport. Morales was taken to the SEBIN headquarters in El Helicoide.

### Sanctions

The United States sanctioned Maduro Guerra on 28 June 2019 for being a current or former official of the Government of Venezuela, as well as being a member of Venezuela's Constituent Assembly.

## Personal life

Maduro Guerra is married to Grysell Torres and has two daughters; one born in 2007 and the other born in 2014.

## History

The Yilan Plain in which the city is located has historically been referred to as **Kapalan** (Chinese: 蛤仔難; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: *Kap-á-lān*), **Kapsulan** (蛤仔蘭; *Kap-chú-lân*; also 甲子蘭), **Komalan** (噶瑪蘭; *Kat-má-lán*), etc. These names, as well as that of Yilan itself, were given to the sites by the Kavalan tribe of Taiwanese aborigines. Later arrivals included Han Chinese settlers during the Qing dynasty in China (1802) and settlers from Okinawa during Taiwan's Japanese era (1895–1945).

### Qing dynasty

In 1810 under Qing dynasty rule, a formal administration office was established at **Wuwei** (五圍) and "Komalan Subprefecture" (噶瑪蘭廳; *Kat-má-lán Thiaⁿ*) was at the present day location of Yilan City. Construction of the city wall was completed a year later. After a few years once the basic infrastructure was ready, the city assumed the political, economical, cultural and educational center for the Lanyang Plain. In 1878, Komalan was a large rice production area commonly called *Kapsulan*, and became a district called *Gilan Hsien*. It was one of the three new districts that constituted the new Taipeh Prefecture.

### Empire of Japan

According to the 1904 census, the population of *Giran* town was about 15,000.

### Republic of China

After the handover of Taiwan from Japan to the Republic of China on 25 October 1945, **Yilan City** was created in January 1946 as a county-administered city the county seat of the newly created Yilan County and continued to become the political, economical and cultural centers of the region.

# Naco Municipality

**Naco Municipality** is a municipality in the Mexican state of Sonora in northwestern Mexico.

## The municipality

As municipal seat, the town of Naco is the governing authority for 128 other localities, most of which have only one or two residents and only two – Cuauhtémoc Ejido (189), and San Pedro (108) have more than eight residents according to the 2010 census. The total municipal population is 6,401 (as of 2010) of whom 6,064 or 94.7% live in the town proper. The municipality has a territory of 651.8 square kilometers and it borders the municipalities of Fronteras, Agua Prieta and Cananea. The United States border is on the north.

The area of 1,085 hectares in the municipality is dedicated to agriculture, growing mostly alfalfa, beans, corn and animal feed. Farming depends on irrigation from about 25 wells and two small dams. Most livestock here is cattle, which are raised on 162,000 hectares, and whose water needs are met by an additional 36 wells and natural springs. There are facilities that raise calves for export to the United States as well. Industry is based on four maquiladoras which employ about 700 workers and produce electronics, textiles and rugs, and workshops that produce wood, iron and metal furniture. There is also mining of lime and copper.

The most rugged part of the municipality is in the south, in which is the San José mountain range. Other areas are semi flat, with low mountains and mesas. At the western edge is Magallanes mountain range. The main river here is called the Punta de Agua, which begins in the United States and continues on into Agua Prieta. The area has a relatively dry climate with high temperatures averaging 39 °C in the summer and 9 °C in the winter. The rainy season is in the summer with an annual rainfall of about 466.0 millimeters. There are three types of vegetation here. Most of the municipality is arid grassland, with forests at the highest elevations. In some other areas, vegetation is mixed. Wildlife mostly consists of reptiles and amphibians such as the turtle, and the rattlesnake and small mammals such as the bat, the lynx and opossum. There are bird species and some deer as well.

Naco is located on the border with Arizona. There are plans to reactivate shipping through this port via the rail line between here and Benson, Arizona. This project only requires that eight km of rail line be rehabilitated. The goal is to open a new rail port of entry that will connect with Guaymas.

In the last election for municipal president, the two principal candidates were tied with 1,274 votes each, prompting an official recount by federal officials.

# NQuery Sample Size Software

**nQuery** is a clinical trial design platform used for the design and monitoring of adaptive, group sequential, and fixed sample size trials. It is most commonly used by biostatisticians to calculate sample size and statistical power for adaptive clinical trial design. nQuery is proprietary software developed and distributed by Statsols. The software includes calculations for over 1,000 sample sizes and power scenarios.

## History

Janet Dixon Elashoff, creator of nQuery, is a retired American statistician and daughter of the mathematician and statistician Wilfrid Joseph Dixon, creator of BMDP. Elashoff is also the retired Director of the Division of Biostatistics, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. While at UCLA and Cedars-Sinai during the 1990s, she wrote the program nQuery Sample Size Software (then named nQuery Advisor). This software quickly became widely used to estimate the sample size requirements for pharmaceutical trials. She joined the company Statistical Solutions LLC in order to commercialize it.

In June 2020, nQuery was acquired by Insightful Science.

## Uses

nQuery is used for adaptive clinical trial design. Trials with an adaptive design have been reported to be more efficient, informative, and ethical than trials with a traditional fixed design because they conserve resources such as time and money and often require fewer participants.

nQuery allows researchers to apply both frequentist and Bayesian statistics to calculate the appropriate sample size for their study.

In 1991 he started his first investigative news program in América Televisión called "La revista dominical" roughly translated in English as "The Sunday report", it featured almost the same format as used in the long-running CBS News Sunday newsmagazine 60 Minutes. The show at the time was considered one of the most outstanding newsprograms, and it used to be on the top of the ratings during almost all the 1990s.

# Hawk Eyes

**Hawk Eyes** are a rock band from Leeds, England. They formed in late 2004 and released their official debut album *Modern Bodies* on 1 November 2010 through Brew Records.

## History

### Early years (2004–2010)

The band played a part in the Leeds underground DIY metal and hardcore scene, amongst the local squats and dives. Some small CD splits and self-released CD-r's appeared during this time, all recorded with Ross Halden in his home basement studio *Ghost Town Studios*. Following years of house shows, small releases and self-organised tours, *Brew Records* picked up on the band and included them on their first release in 2007, a compilation entitled *Volume 1* featuring other local bands part of the same DIY scene. This was to become a much stronger relationship as time passed. The band next decided to make an album of all the material they had to date and recorded it in sessions between Chris Fielding at Foel Studio in Wales and Jason Sanderson in Barnsley. Nottingham based label *Sound Devastation* released the self-titled debut on a limited run in 2008 and soon after Reid joined the band to complete the line-up and continue touring. The album and compilation both received great praise from the press.

In mid-2008, the band decided to film their first music video for the track 'NASA Vs ESA' (taken from the self-titled debut) and shortly after its release local Leeds label *Brew Records*, offered to add Hawk Eyes to their growing roster (I Concur, Kong, These Monsters, Castrovalva). They saw the year out with further touring and writing.

In March 2009, they returned to Jason Sanderson's studio to record their first material with latest member Reid. An EP entitled *A. Or Not?* (named after a close friend/promoter), and in support of the EP's release, they produced their second video for the track "I Hate This, Do You Like It?" in collaboration with the *NME*/*SPIN* magazine photographer Danny North. The EP was released in the late summer of 2009 following Hawk Eyes' first festival appearance on the BBC Introducing stage at the Leeds and Reading festivals and a UK tour with label mates *Kong*. At this point another Leeds independent label Dance To The Radio, asked the band to contribute a track towards their '4 X 12' series'. The track used was called *Scorpieau* \- recorded by old friend Ross Halden at his newly located penthouse *Ghost Town Studios* mark II. Both the EP and the 12" split received positive national recognition. They closed the year off with their largest tour to date supporting US outfit The Fall of Troy across the UK.

Hawk Eyes started the year 2010 touring with The Computers and Outcry Collective, and were invited by Mike Davies to record at BBC's Maida Vale Studio in London for the Radio 1 punk rock show during the tour. The band played over 10 festivals across the country including Leeds & Reading, Hevy Festival and Sonisphere. Brew then released *Modern Bodies*, a selection of songs taken from previous limited releases, collected together on one new album. Remixed By Kevin Vanbergen, remastered and featuring brand new artwork by Reid and North. The album received critical acclaim worldwide. A UK tour supporting We Are The Ocean and a UK/European tour supporting Alexisonfire followed with positive reviews.

### 2011–present

Between January and October the band recorded the follow-up releases, *Mindhammers* and *Ideas*. During November Hawk Eyes toured the UK with Turbowolf and The JCQ. In December, Hawk Eyes toured as main support for Ginger Wildheart. On 12 December, Hawk Eyes released *Mindhammers*, a 5 track EP available by download and on limited 10" vinyl.

Hawk Eyes released *Ideas* on 21 March 2012 through Vinyl Junkie in Japan and 26 March 2012 on Fierce Panda in the UK. It was revealed that their drummer Matt Reid had left the band and that Steve Wilson, the former drummer of Japanese Voyeurs and Dinosaur Pile-Up, had joined the band. During 2012 Hawk Eyes toured extensively throughout the UK, Europe and Japan. *Ideas* received high praise from the rock press including 5Ks in Kerrang, being nominated for Best Newcomer at 2012's Kerrang awards.

Whilst still touring, Hawk Eyes released a new EP in 2013 titled *That's What This Is* via Pledgemusic. The band also commenced writing & recording a new album.

In 2014, the band continued to record their third album with producer Andy Hawkins. The new album 'Everything is Fine' will be released in February 2015, pre sale being announced in October 2014. They also announced a 9 date UK tour for February. Lead single 'Die Trying' is released in November, having been premiered on Dan Carter's Radio 1 rock show.

Agriculture is by far the most important employer in the rural areas of the region with well established grazing, sugarcane and horticultural industries. Other major industries include mining, energy and tourism.

## History

The National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality (NAPSWQ) and the Natural Heritage Trust Extension (NHT2) were natural resource management programs established by the Australian Government, in partnership with State Governments, to address the declining condition of natural resources in Australia. The long term objectives of these programs was to halt and reverse the decline in the condition of the natural resource base. It also recognised that the long term success of Natural resource management activities depended on involvement of sectors of the community.

The election of the Rudd Government saw development of the Caring for our Country program. It was a commitment of $2.25 billion in funding over the first five years commencing 1 July 2008.

### Goals

Land care programs and sustainable farming.

## Geography

The NQ Dry Tropics region is located in north eastern Queensland, covering an area of approximately 133,432 km² and is primarily defined by the catchment area of the Burdekin River plus the associated coastal and marine areas. The region has a population of approximately 240,000 which is mostly concentrated in the major population centres of Townsville, Ayr, Bowen and Charters Towers. Outside of these major centres the region has sparsely populated pastoral properties and mines.

### Major watercourses

Major water courses in this catchment include:

***Poospiza*** is a genus of finch-like birds in the tanager family Thraupidae that are found in both the South American lowlands and the Andes mountains. Generally they are arboreal feeders in light woodland and scrub. All have extensive grey to their plumage, and haveoften boldwhite or rufous markings.

## Taxonomy and species list

The genus *Poospiza* was introduced in 1847 by the German ornithologist Jean Cabanis. The name combines the Ancient Greek *poa* meaning "grass" and *spiza* meaning "finch". The type species was designated as the black-and-rufous warbling finch by the English zoologist George Robert Gray in 1855.

A molecular phylogenetic study of the Tanager family published in 2014 found that *Poospiza* and many other genera were polyphyletic. In the subsequent reorganization two species from *Compsospiza* and two species from *Hemispingus* were moved here. At the same time several species formerly assigned to *Poospiza* were moved to *Microspingus*, *Poospizopsis* and *Castanozoster*.

The genus contains ten species:

| Image | Common Name | Scientific name | Distribution |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  | Bolivian warbling finch | *Poospiza boliviana* | Argentina and Bolivia |
|  | Cinnamon warbling finch | *Poospiza ornata* | Argentina. |
|  | Black-and-rufous warbling finch | *Poospiza nigrorufa* | Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. |
|  | Black-and-chestnut warbling finch | *Poospiza whitii* | western Argentina and western Bolivia. |
|  | Collared warbling finch | *Poospiza hispaniolensis* | Ecuador and Peru. |
|  | Rufous-breasted warbling finch | *Poospiza rubecula* | Peru. |
|  | Tucumán mountain finch | *Poospiza baeri* | western Argentina |

# Philip McRae

**Philip Christopher McRae** (born March 15, 1990) is an American former professional ice hockey player who last played for Orli Znojmo in the Austrian Hockey League (EBEL). He was selected by the St. Louis Blues in the 2nd round (33rd overall) of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft and would end up playing 15 games in the National Hockey League (NHL), all with the Blues.

## Playing career

McRae, a native of St. Louis, played his freshman season with CBC High School in Town & Country. He then went on to play major junior hockey for the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League.

The son of former Minnesota North Stars and St. Louis Blues winger Basil McRae, he began the 2010–11 season playing in the AHL with the Peoria Rivermen. Before joining the Rivermen, he spent his summer with former Blues forward Keith Tkachuk to get a feel for playing in professional hockey. On January 11, 2011, he was called up to the NHL by the St. Louis Blues to make his NHL debut the following evening, playing more than 12 minutes and taking a 2-minute tripping penalty, for the Blues in a 7-4 road game loss to the Anaheim Ducks. McRae scored his first NHL goal on January 26, 2011 against Miikka Kiprusoff of the Calgary Flames. He and his father became the fourth father-son combination to play for the Blues, joining Bob and Brent Johnson, Peter, Yan, and Paul Stastny, and Mike and B.J. Crombeen.

In the 2013–14 season, as an unsigned restricted free agent with the St. Louis Blues, McRae opted to venture abroad to the Finnish Liiga with Tappara. After just 8 games in Tampere, McRae secured a transfer to fellow Finnish club, Espoo Blues for the remainder of the season.

On July 1, 2014, McRae returned to the St. Louis Blues fold, in signing a one-year, two-way contract. In the 2014–15 season he was assigned to AHL affiliate, the Chicago Wolves and in 67 games scored 15 goals.

On August 7, 2015, McRae continued his career in the AHL, signing as a free agent to a one-year contract with the Bakersfield Condors, an affiliate of the Edmonton Oilers. In the Condors inaugural 2015–16 season in the AHL, McRae appeared in 35 games producing 9 goals and 15 points.

As a free agent in the off-season, McRae opted to continue his career in the AHL, signing a one-year deal with the New York Rangers affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack on August 24, 2016.

After three seasons in the AHL, McRae returned to a second stint in Finland, agreeing to a one-year deal with Ässät of the Liiga on June 1, 2017. In the 2017–18 season, McRae established himself as a versatile forward, contributing with 21 points in 42 games.

As a free agent in the following off-season, McRae continued his career in Europe by agreeing to a one-year contract with German outfit Schwenninger Wild Wings of the DEL on April 20, 2018. In the 2018–19 season, McRae secured a top-nine role among the forwards and contributed with 5 goals and 12 points through 44 games, but was unable to help the Wild Wings progress to the post-season. At the completion of the season, McRae left Schwenninger at the conclusion of his contract.

On May 22, 2019, McRae moved to the neighbouring EBEL, agreeing to a one-year deal with Orli Znojmo. Following the 2019-2020 season, McRae would retire from professional hockey.

# Michael Croucher

**Michael John Croucher** (17 January 1930  26 May 2006) was a British documentary film maker and television producer for the BBC.

## Life

Born in Maidstone, Kent, he was educated at Cranbook school. His education there was interrupted when he was evacuated to Saskatchewan in Canada during the Second World War. In 1949, he undertook National Service in the Royal Air Force, before studying at the Royal College of Music.

He married the writer and actor Rosalind Gee in 1955, and had two sons and one daughter with her. After his divorce from Rosalind, he was married to the artist Anne Adamson from 1979 to his death in May 2006. They had two daughters.

## Career

He started work in 1954 as a trainee sound technician at the BBC in Plymouth, where he made use of his experience in wireless telegraphy. After moving to BBC Bristol in 1958, he was able to transfer his sound editing skills to television, and began to work on short documentary pieces on magazine programmes.

He made short filmed documentary programmes, notably *The Bashers* about a boys' gang in the Lawrence Hill area of Bristol, and then worked on programmes with John Betjeman. Croucher became assistant director to John Boorman, and they worked together on the series *Citizen 63* and *The Newcomers*. With Boorman, he pioneered the approach of "filming ordinary people telling their extraordinary stories straight to camera." After Boorman began working on cinema films, Croucher became head of documentaries at Bristol, and produced a series of films with largely rural settings, including *The Curious Character of Britain*, *Summer 67*, *The Way of the Warrior*, *Seven Ages of Man*, and *Leap in the Dark*. He produced the semi-fictionalised *Diary of Anne Hughes* (1978) of which it was said he was proud of. He produced many one-off films, and the series *The French Way*, *The Italian Way*, *The Yugoslavian Way*, and *The Irish Way*. In technical work, he pioneered techniques of colour separation.

He left the BBC in 1989, and in later years was a visiting lecturer at Bristol University in the drama department. He died May 26th 2006, aged 76.

title: Yaroslavl Global Policy Forum

abstract: Yaroslavl Global Policy Forum was a series of high-level conferences organized in Yaroslavl, Russia, during the term of Dmitry Medvedev as President of the Russian Federation. The forum, which targeted foreign experts, was established in 2009 by Medvedev, who determined that Valdai Discussion Club was too closely linked to Vladimir Putin. The Yaroslavl Forum was organized around Medvedev's birthday, which occurred around the same time as Putin's Valdai conference. Medvedev gave significant speeches at the forum, including a speech at the September 2010 forum, in which Medvedev "told a large audience of academics, politicians, and economists... that parliamentary democracy would provide a 'catastrophe' for Russia" by leading to social upheaval and turmoil. Among the notable persons who attended the forums were Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi and American Nobel laureate economic Paul Krugman, and Michael McFaul. The conferences were "largely presented as the Russian equivalent of the annual World Economic Forum in Davos." However, as Medvedev's influence waned, the Global Policy Forum "soon exhausted its potential... and became nearly forgotten."

# Nagakubo-shuku

**Nagakubo-shuku** (長久保宿, *Nagakubo-shuku*) was the twenty-seventh of the sixty-nine stations of the Nakasendō highway connecting Edo with Kyoto during the Edo period. It is located in the present-day town of Nagawa, in the Chiisagata District of Nagano Prefecture, Japan.

## History

Located between the Wada Pass and the Kasadori Pass, two difficult parts along the Nakasendō, Nagakubo flourished as a post town under the Tokugawa shogunate. Much of the original town was destroyed by a flood in 1631, and relocated a slight distance to higher ground. As the town developed, its row houses eventually spread to side streets, giving it the rare shape of a key. It is located approximately six kilometers from Ashida-shuku.

Per an 1843 guidebook issued by the Inspector of Highways (道中奉行, *Dōchu-būgyō*), there were over 187 inns in which travelers could rest, including one *honjin*, one *waki-honjin,* and 43 *hatago*, with a total resident population of 721 people.

Many of the buildings of Nagakubo-shuku have been preserved, and the area is a tourist attraction within the town of Nagawa.

## Nagakubo-shuku in *The Sixty-nine Stations of the Kiso Kaidō*

Hiroshige's ukiyo-e print of Nagakubo-shuku dates from 1835 to 1838. The scene depicts the Wada bridge, located just past the post station. In the front of the picture, two children are playing and a traveler is leading his packhorse towards an inn. As was common in the series of prints, the publisher's name appears on the saddlecloth on the horse. The roof of the inn is shown with stones on the tiles to help secure the roof against strong winds - this was a typical method of construction for the region.

***Poospizopsis*** is a genus of warbler-like tanagers. They are found in highland forest in South America.

## Taxonomy and species list

A molecular phylogenetic study of the tanager family Thraupidae published in 2014 found that the genus *Poospiza* was polyphyletic. In the subsequent reorganization two species from *Poospiza* were assigned to the resurrected genus *Poospizopsis* that had been introduced in 1893 by the German ornithologist Hans von Berlepsch with the chestnut-breasted mountain finch as the type species. The name of the genus combines *Poospiza* with the Ancient Greek *opsis* meaning "appearance".

The two species now placed in the genus are:

| Image | Scientific name | Common Name | Distribution |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  | *Poospizopsis hypocondria* | Rufous-sided warbling finch | Argentina and Bolivia. |
|  | *Poospizopsis caesar* | Chestnut-breasted mountain finch | Peru. |

It is the only known genus in the class Mesostigmatophyceae. Earlier studies were unable to resolve the position of the species, and it was often placed as a sister to all other green algae, as one of the basal members of the Streptophyta, close to Chaetosphaeridium. More recent studies agree that Mesostigma and Chlorokybus form a clade, being the earliest diverging of the green plants, specifically within Charophytes.

# Ron Walker (businessman)

**Ronald Joseph Walker** AC CBE (15 September 1939 – 30 January 2018) was an Australian businessman best known for his work in managing sporting events. He was also involved with property development and media companies, as well as serving as Lord Mayor of Melbourne from 1974 to 1976.

## Biography

The son of a Hoyts Cinema senior supervisor, Walker attended Caulfield Grammar School and as a schoolboy, he started his first business at a backyard in Collingwood, making dishwashing detergents and washing cars. He then sold newspapers at a train station. Elected to the Melbourne city council in 1969, he served as the Lord Mayor of Melbourne from 1974 to 1976. He became a prominent Liberal Party figure, working as honorary National Treasurer from 1987 to 2002.

In 1988, he was appointed as a Commissioner for Melbourne's 1996 Olympics bid to host the Games. His relationship with former Liberal Victorian Premier, Jeff Kennett, helped him to become the Chairman of the Australian Grand Prix Corporation, after Walker helped deliver Melbourne the hosting rights for the event from Adelaide in 1993. However, it was Labor Premier Joan Kirner who appointed Walker as Chairman of the Melbourne Major Events Company, the body which managed both the bids for the Grand Prix and the 2006 Commonwealth Games.

# Port of Poulsbo

The **Port of Poulsbo** is a port serving the city of Poulsbo, Washington, United States. It is located in Liberty Bay on Puget Sound. The port includes the Poulsbo Marina, a seaplane mooring, commercial shops, residential housing (and "liveaboard" housing), the SEA Discovery Center, and Liberty Bay Waterfront Park (Muriel Iverson Williams Waterfront Park). The port is part of downtown Poulsbo, also known as "Little Norway".

## History

Maritime use of the waters around what is now the Port of Poulsbo has a history predating European contact. The Suquamish people harvested fish and shellfish here for several millennia, and a village — ho-cheeb — was located at the head of the bay until the mid-1800s. In the 1855 Treaty of Point Elliott, which made land available to newcomers, the Suquamish Tribe retained fishing and shellfish harvesting rights in its historical territory, including Liberty Bay.

In the early 1900s, the waters off Poulsbo became the base for a fishing fleet that worked in Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca, as well as schooners that fished in Alaska for salmon and cod; Poulsbo was home to the Pacific Codfish Company, and fish and oyster canneries.

In 1945, the state of Washington spent $75,000 on upgrades to port facilities to enable its use by commercial passenger and fishing fleets. In the 1950s, local ferries and Puget Sound mosquito fleet passenger vessels provided regular service between Seattle and Kitsap County, including Poulsbo. The Port of Poulsbo was officially established in 1951.

The port plays an important role in preserving the maritime flavor of Poulsbo as well as the environmental health of the bay. The port, which is overseen by a publicly elected three-member board of commissioners and staff, has what is believed to be the last tidal grid in Puget Sound. The port is working on replacing its aging, creosoted breakwater with an environmentally friendly floating breakwater, and partnered with the City of Poulsbo in upgrading a waterfront parking lot with a permeable surface and rain gardens to filter stormwater runoff.

In February 2021, the port's public boat ramp was closed after its condition deteriorated to the point of being inoperable. Work on construction of a new public boat ramp began in June 2021.

## Operations and management

The Port of Poulsbo includes the marina and mooring area, commercial shops, and a Marine Science Center.

The port is managed by the Port of Poulsbo Commission which has 3 commissioners responsible for overseeing the work of a General Manager and other operational staff. Vacancies are filled by agreement of the two remaining commissioners, with the approval of the City of Poulsbo.

## Marina Facilities

The Poulsbo Marina includes 7 main docks, which contains 254 permanent slips, 130 guest slips, floatplane dock, fuel dock, sanitation pump-out facilities, shower and restroom facilities, launch ramp and laundry facilities.

Facilities also include:

* 130 guest moorage slips with fresh water and 30 amp power
* 254 permanent moorage slips with fresh water and 30 amp power
* Fuel dock with gasoline and diesel fuel
* Commercial pier for loading and unloading equipment
* Tidal grid for marine surveys, plus hull, propeller and zinc inspection

title: Philippe Sella

abstract: Philippe Sella is French former rugby union player. He started as a rugby league junior in his home town before switching to rugby union. As a former French rugby union player, he held the record for most international appearances until beaten by Jason Leonard. He became a member of the International Rugby Hall of Fame in 1999, and the IRB Hall of Fame in 2008. Sella joined Saracens in 1996 from French side Agen. He and Australian Michael Lynagh were the catalysts for Saracens as they made the transition into the professional era, and Sella's presence helped other players make up their minds about joining the up-and-coming club. He made a then world record 111 appearances for France, and is one of only five players to have scored a try in every game during a Five Nations season. Sella was the linchpin in the midfield where he operated alongside stalwart Steve Ravenscroft. His experience, pace and vision helped Saracens to become a potent force in 1998 and his appetite for defence was amazing. He scored the opening try in the Tetley's Bitter Cup final in the same year, a trademark Sella finish. He showed pace, power and vision to run, swivel and crash over the line with his try then signalling the way for the floodgates to open. He retired from rugby union later that year at the age of 36 and returned to France with his family.
