# Mustapha Badid

Mustapha Badid (born 1964) is a paralympic track and field athlete from France competing mainly in category T53 wheelchair racing events.
Mustapha competed in four Paralympics, winning eight medals six of which were gold. His first experience in the Paralympics was in 1984 when he competed in the 100m, 400m and shot put and won a gold medal in the A1-3 800m. The 1988 Summer Paralympics would prove to be his best games winning gold in the 200m, 1500m, 5000m and Marathon and winning the silver in the 100m just 0.12 seconds behind Canada's Daniel Westley. After a performance like that it was going to be difficult to match it in the 1992 but the 1992 were a complete disaster as Mustapha missed out on the medals in all his events 100m, 200m,800m and marathon. He did get back to medal winning ways in his final games in 1996 winning a gold in the 4 × 400 m and a bronze in the 800m as well as competing in the 100m, 400m and marathon.

In 1851, it contained two buildings and a ferry. The name used for the area between the city of Workum and the Fluessen [nl] lake. During the 19th century, a settlement developed in Brandeburen.
The oldest church dated from 1389, but was demolished and a farm was built in its place. In the 19th century, a small Mennonite church was built, which resulted in the construction of a Dutch Reformed church. In 1979, it was elevated to the status of village. Before 2011, the village was part of the Nijefurd municipality. Before 1984 it partly belonged to Hemelumer Oldeferd and partly to Workum.

He was educated at Highgate School in London and Queen's College, Oxford, where he obtained an honours degree in classics and philosophy and played cricket. He also won a blue for football.

He joined the World War I and was severely injured with the Rifle Brigade in France.

# Denise Yue

She later took up the post of Secretary for the Civil Service since January 2006.

## Leung Chin-man controversy

In August 2008, Yue was subject of controversy when the former Permanent Secretary for Housing, Planning and Lands, Leung Chin-man was named deputy managing director and executive director of New World China Land. Yue signed off on the approval for Leung to take up the job after it passed through the Advisory committee on post-service employment of civil servants, responsible for vetting the application.
After public outcry amidst widespread suspicion of conflict of interest, Chief Executive Donald Tsang called the Secretary to account. On 15 August, the Civil Service Bureau issued the report requested by Tsang, where they admitted that they had not considered Leung's role in the Hung Hom Peninsula affair when approving his appointment. Sir Donald Tsang asked the SCS to reassess the approval.
New World announced in the early hours of 16 August that Leung had resigned from his post, and would not be seeking compensation from the government for its "inappropriate handling".
A SCMP editorial criticised the "glaring lack of political sense of some of our senior officials." Commentators noted with surprise that there were no demands for Yue's resignation.
A political scientist suggested that parties feared that such calls would alienate civil servants in the forthcoming LegCo elections. Donald Tsang confirmed that he was satisfied with Yue's apology and with the explanations offered by her, and would not be seeking her resignation.

# William Thomas Benson

William Thomas Benson (20 April 1824 – 8 June 1885) was born at Kendal, England and, after some years in business in England, immigrated to Canada in 1858.
In Montreal, Benson met a man with whom he formed a partnership to open the first starch factory in Canada. Benson and Aspden established a starch factory in 1858 in the village of Edwardsburg (Cardinal), Canada West. This enterprise eventually evolved into the Canada Starch Company in 1906 under his son, George Frederick Benson.
He was elected to the House of Commons of Canada in 1882 to represent the riding of Grenville South. He died in office in 1885 in Cardinal, Ontario.

## Starch factory

In 1858 William Thomas Benson, along with his business partner Thomas Aspden, constructed, owned and operated the first corn wet-milling factory in Canada, located in Cardinal, Ontario. The plant is additionally notable for being the first to produce high-fructose corn syrup in Canada and, more recently, for being one of the oldest industries in Canada. The factory was originally named Benson & Aspden after its founders; when both men sold their shares in the 1860s, it became known as the Edwardsburg Starch Company and later the Canada Starch Company (CASCO). As of 1954, the factory is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ingredion Inc., and produces corn syrup solids, dextrose, maltodextrin as well as starch.
Benson and Aspden purchased land beside the St. Lawrence River along the old Galop Canal in Cardinal in 1858 and built the first factory within the year. The village of Cardinal was chosen due to the canal, which provided a waterway, as well as the St. Lawrence River's rapids which provided a power source; the Grand Trunk Railway line was also in close proximity. The first factory was located where Building 17 of the modern plant currently sits. The original factory consisted of a main building, where the starch was produced, as well as numerous outbuildings including a boiler house, office, and employee store. The first factory had a capacity of 200 bushels per day. Early products manufactured by the company included Benson's Prepared Corn, Silver Gloss Starch, and Crystal Laundry Starch – No. 1.
In 1860, Benson became sole owner of the company after purchasing Aspden's shares and renamed the company W.T. Benson & Company. Benson required more capital in 1865 which led him to sell off his own shares to a group of investors. The business was then renamed Edwardsburg Starch Company. Benson maintained an executive position as vice-president and managing director of the company after selling to investors, which he held until his death in 1885.
After Benson's death, his son and grandson stayed involved with the company until 1953 and 1961, respectively, and the company continued to expand. The Cardinal plant was rebuilt in the 1920s and since that time has expanded and undergone numerous upgrades. In the 1980s, two other CASCO plants were built in Ontario, one in Port Colborne and one in London.

# Dan Larson

Daniel James Larson (born July 4, 1954) is an American former Major League Baseball pitcher. Larson pitched in all or parts of seven seasons from 1976 and 1982.
Larson was drafted in the first round of the 1972 Major League Baseball Draft by the St. Louis Cardinals, while at Alhambra High School (Alhambra, California) but never played in the majors for them. Instead, he was sent to the Houston Astros as part of a trade that brought pitcher Claude Osteen to the Cardinals. Larson made his major league debut with the Astros in 1976, and that was probably his best season. He went 5–8 in 1976, with a career-best 3.02 ERA.
In 1977, Larson spent most of the season in the majors, but his performance went down significantly, as he won just one game in eight decisions and his ERA nearly doubled to 5.81. Larson spent nearly the entire 1978 season back in the minor leagues, and that September he was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies for pitcher Dan Warthen. He made one appearance for the Phillies, pitching one inning.
Larson spent most of the next three seasons in the minor leagues, making brief appearances in the majors in each year. Over those seasons, Larson pitched in a total of 20 games, mostly as a starter. In 1980, Larson had a respectable 3.15 ERA, but gave up many unearned runs, resulting in a record of 0–5.
Larson was traded along with Keith Moreland and Dickie Noles from the Phillies to the Cubs for Mike Krukow on December 8, 1981. Larson again went winless in 1982, going 0–4 with a 5.67 ERA, and never appeared in the major leagues again. He continued to play minor league baseball until 1984 before retiring.
