# Mondovì Cathedral

Mondovì Cathedral (Italian: Cattedrale di Mondovi; Cattedrale di San Donato) is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Mondovì, Province of Cuneo, Piedmont, northern Italy, dedicated to Saint Donatus of Arezzo. It is the seat of the bishops of Mondovì.

## History and description

Several buildings were used over the centuries for the cathedral of the diocese. The first was the pieve of San Donato (12th century), which was replaced at the beginning of the 16th century by a new Renaissance church, which was demolished by order of Emmanuel Philibert, Duke of Savoy, in 1574. The church of San Francesco was then declared the cathedral, to be replaced in its turn by the present one, which was built between 1743 and 1753 to designs by the architect Francesco Gallo, and consecrated ten years later by Bishop Michele Casati.
The cathedral is well-supplied with works of art, many of them from its predecessor buildings. Among them are the altar of the Renaissance church (1507), now kept in the chapter room; an ancient bust of Pope Pius V donated by Pope Pius XI in 1872; and various paintings of the 17th and 18th centuries by Piedmontese and Lombard artists. The painted decorations and the stucco work were executed in the mid-19th century. The presbytery and the main altar are decorated with large frescoes: in the apse is the Martyrdom of San Donato by Paolo Emilio Morgari; in the cupola the Glorification of Saint Pius V; in the presbytery the Coronation of the Virgin. The Chapel of Suffrage is a very fine example of the Rococo style of the 18th century, with an alabaster crucifix of the end of that century.

# União Metalo-Mecânica

UMM (Portuguese: União Metalo-Mecânica, pronounced) is a Portuguese metal works factory and ex-automobile manufacturer based in Lisbon, Portugal. It was founded in 1977 with the purpose of manufacturing four-wheel drive vehicles for agricultural, industrial and utility applications.

## History

The UMM 4x4 design is derived from a prototype created by the French engineering firm called SIMI. SIMI had produced the Cournil, a rugged two seater boxy looking Land Rover type of vehicle made with Hotchkiss-JEEP parts with Ferguson Diesel tractor allwheel driven mechanicals itself was originally designed and built by mechanical engineer Bernard Cournil. A civilian model was called the SIMI Entrepreneur 4X4. The Cournil Entrepreneur's building rights were acquired in the 1970s by the Portuguese company União Metalo-Mecânica, part of the Mocar group and were renamed as UMM.
They became known for their durability, especially when in the Paris-Dakar rally the team was able to finish with all the cars that started. Many UMMs are still in use by utilities in Spain, Portugal, Cape Verde (in use by the national army) and France and also by the "Guarda Nacional Republicana" (Portuguese Gendarmerie), fire service and military, although the majority of their customers were private individuals. Around 700 UMMs are still in service in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Zaire). They are also popular in France and Angola.
UMM stopped building the UMM Alter II for private customers in 1994, but kept on taking large orders from military and utility services until 1996. Custom orders are no longer accepted. It is suspected that more than 10,000 UMMs were made.
The most famous UMM is probably the one that transported Pope John Paul II in one of his visits to Portugal. It was based on a 1992 five door, long wheelbase chassis from the Alter II. It featured a 40 mm armoured glass box on the rear with a chair for the Pope. It had air conditioning and outside loudspeakers connected to a microphone in the rear. Originally it had the 2.5 litre turbocharged engine, but due to safety impositions the normal 2.5 litre 76 PS (56 kW) diesel engine was fitted.
An updated version was announced in 2000, powered by a 2.1 L turbodiesel engine. This engine was less noisy and had more torque at low speed. Several options were available, including air conditioning and GPS. Price was meant to be lower than a Land Rover Defender with similar finishings. However, the company had no capital to invest in its development.

## Notable models

* UMM 4x4 Cournil (1977-1979)
* UMM 4x4 (1979-1985)
* UMM Alter (1985-1986)
* UMM Alter II Turbo Diesel 2500 (110 bhp 1986–1994)
* UMM Alter 2000 CRDI 2500 4WD (2000–2004)
The name Alter comes from the Alter Real strain of Pure Blood Lusitano horse breed.

# Guaranteed investment contract

A guaranteed investment contract (GIC) is a contract that guarantees repayment of principal and a fixed or floating interest rate for a predetermined period of time. Guaranteed investment contracts are typically issued by life insurance companies qualified for favorable tax status under the Internal Revenue Code (for example, 401(k) plans). A GIC is used primarily as a vehicle that yields a higher return than a savings account or United States Treasury securities and GICs are often used as investments for stable value funds. GICs are sometimes referred to as funding agreements, although this term is often reserved for contracts sold to non-qualified institutions.
Example: Funds obtained through a municipal bond issuance will generally take time to be drawn down. Depositing the bond proceeds in a GIC gives the bond issuer the liquidity of having the funds available while earning a higher rate of return than it would earn in a money market account. GICs are considered safe vehicles since most insurance companies offering them are rated in the AA to AAA range.
The term "GIC" is sometimes used in the context of guaranteed investment agreements, or GIAs.

## History

As of 1990, a large amount of people's 401k retirement money had been invested into GICs. However, when life insurance companies started failing, people began to lose their faith in GICs as a product. For example, Executive Life Insurance Company had some junk bond problems in 1990, and people started redeeming their GICs. So many people redeemed Executive GICs that it couldn't pay all that it owed. It was 'failed' and seized by the government. Investors who had bought GICs, such as the Unisys employee fund, found that their money was frozen. This resulted in a lawsuit against Unisys.
In 1995 the New York State Insurance Department enabled the 'monoline' municipal-bond insurance companies to write insurance on GICs. Thus if the GIC issuer failed, the monoline insurer could pay back investors instead. Insured GICs were called "wrapped" GICs.
In the late 2000s, AIG, a holding company and not an insurance company, was bailed out by the federal government to the tune of over a hundred billion dollars. The NY Times reported that some of the government money (at least 9 billion dollars) was used to pay out on "Guaranteed Investment Agreement" contracts that AIG had sold to investors.
In 2010 many GIC sellers were sued by counties such as Los Angeles and Oakland over alleged price fixing regarding GICs. Many large banks and other companies were named as 'co-conspirators'

# Venetian Plain

The Venetian Plain, or Venetian-Friulian Plain (Italian: Pianura Veneta or Pianura Veneto-friulana) is a major geographical feature of Italy. It extends approximately from the River Adige to the River Isonzo, in a southwest-to-northeast direction, including almost all the flatlands of Veneto and Friuli. It is not properly related to the Po River basin, but it is often considered as part of the Po Valley since the flatlands of Veneto and Friuli do not drain into the Po, but they effectively combine into an unbroken plain. Sometimes, instead of the River Adige, the Euganei Hills and Berici Hills are considered to be its western border.
# Former Jesuit House of Prayer

The Former Jesuit House of Prayer (Portuguese: Antiga Casa de Oração dos Jesuítas, also known as the House at Rua Carlos Gomes, nº 57 or Caixa Cultural Salvador) is a former residence and cultural center in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. The building dates to the late 17th century and first functioned as a Jesuit residence, a private residence after the expulsion of the Jesuits from Brazil, a retirement home, and a cultural center. The house is noted for its ornate, stone portal with an elaborate baroque-style pediment. The house was listed as a historic structure by the National Historic and Artistic Heritage Institute in 1938.

## Location

The Former Jesuit House of Prayer was located on the edge of a hillside in an area outside of the historic center of Salvador. It is now on Rua Carlos Gomes, formerly the Caminho de Baixo de São Bento, in a densely urbanized area. It now stands "forgotten among the surrounding commercial buildings."

## History

The Jesuit House of Prayer was built on land donated by a benefactor to the society in 1757 to establish a presence of the society in the area. Records refer to the building as the House of Prayer of the Jesuits in 1760. The house was sold to private individuals in 1759 after the expulsion of the Jesuits from Brazil in 1759. It belonged to the Freire de Carvalho family by 1884, then was purchased by Knight Commander Manuel Gomes da Costa. It was the property of Rita da Costa Morais by 1941, when the building was sold to the Santa Casa da Misericórdia. The Santa Casa renovated the house into a retirement home. The building was the headquarters of Diário de Notícias, a Bahian newspaper, between 1945 and 1978. The building then fell into disuse. It was renovated into a cultural center of the Caixa Econômica Federal and reinaugurated in 1999.

## Structure

The Former Jesuit House of Prayer is a sobrado, or urban house, of the Portuguese colonial period. It has two floors, a central corridor, attic, and basement. It is now surrounded by dense urbanization and tall buildings that compromise its structural features. It is built on a rectangular floor plan with a central corridor that provides access to both floors. The façade is simple, with two storeys and a portal at center. The portal is framed in stone with an ornate baroque-style pediment with volutes. The pediment is dated 1696. It is similar to other ornate portals in Salvador of the period, notably that of nearby Casa Margarida and Solar Ferrão. The windows on the lower level are in a Venetian style, and date to the late 19th or early 20th century. The flour windows of the upper levels are more traditional, with straight lintels and iron balconets. The interior retains none of its furnishing and little decoration. Two rooms of the upper floor have their original wood panelled ceiling in rosewood.

## Protected status

The Former Jesuit House of Prayer was listed as a historic structure by the National Institute of Historic and Artistic Heritage in 1938 under inscription number 114.

## Access

The cultural center is open to the public and may be visited.
