# Twin Cities comics artists

The Twin Cities refers to the major riverside metropolitan areas of Minneapolis, Saint Paul and surrounding townships in Ramsey and Hennepin counties. In recent years, the Twin Cities has become home to a burgeoning comics scene, in the top ten for number of resident comics artists in the United States. The location of the Minneapolis College of Art and Design - one of the nation's first and only schools which offers both bachelor's and master's degrees in comic books (e.g.; 'BFA: Comic Art') - is likely a contributing factor. (See: MCAD) However, the global success of popular cartoonists like Minneapolis-born Charles M. Schulz must have paved the way.

## Peanuts Characters Sculpture Project

The Twin Cities is home to a notable outdoor sculpture project, featuring the characters from Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts comic strip. Throughout Minneapolis and Saint Paul, one can find artistic variations of Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Lucy, Woodstock and others. The first such project was called Charlie Brown Around Town, featuring large three-dimensional copies of the character Charlie Brown in a joyful pose, and painted by various residents of the Twin Cities. Other characters from the strip soon followed.
# Alessandra Santos de Oliveira

Alessandra Santos de Oliveira (born 2 December 1973 in São Paulo) is a Brazilian former basketball player who spent 17 years in the national team, winning the 1994 FIBA World Championship for Women and two Olympic medals, silver in Atlanta 1996, and bronze in Sydney 2000, along with a fourth place in the 2004 Summer Olympics and the 1998 and 2006 World Championships. She has also competed in 10 different countries, including three WNBA teams - Washington Mystics (1998–99), Indiana Fever (2000) and Seattle Storm (2001).

## WNBA

On 27 January 1998, Oliveira was assigned to the Washington Mystics as part of the initial player allocation. Her debut game was played on 11 June 1998 in a 57 - 83 loss to the Charlotte Sting where she recorded 5 points, 3 rebounds and 1 steal. During her rookie season, after losing her starting position to Heidi Burge, Oliveira would miss 14 straight games with the Mystics from 14 July to 16 August. She did start in 12 of her 16 played games and her averages of the season were 11.0 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. Even with her productive stat line, the Mystics finished with a still franchise-worst 3 - 27 record (2 - 14 in the games where Oliveira played).
In the 1999 season, Oliveira would lose her starting Center position after 5 games to teammate Murriel Page and her minutes per game dropped from 30.1 in her rookie season to 16.6 in her sophomore season. The Mystics then traded Oliveira on 11 July to the Houston Comets for Nyree Roberts. Roberts would go on to play only 8 games with the Mystics and those were the final games of her WNBA career. While Oliveira, did not play a single game for the Comets and sat out the rest of the 1999 season.
For the 2000 season, Oliveira signed a contract with the New York Liberty on 2 May but was waived during the same month on 28 May. Eleven days later on 7 June, she signed a contract with the Indiana Fever but she would only play three games for the team recording 3 points and 3 rebounds in 11 total minutes.
Oliveira's final playing days in the WNBA would be spent as a member of the Seattle Storm. She first signed with the team on 30 April 2001 but had her contract suspended on 27 May. She was able to return to the team and play during the 2001 season. In just 10 games with the Storm (winning once and losing the other nine games), she averaged 1.3 points and 1.6 rebounds per game. She would be waived by the Storm on 24 May 2002, less than a month before the 2002 season started. Oliveira never made the playoffs during her career and her final game ever was played on 14 August 2001 in a 62 - 72 loss to the Sacramento Monarchs. In her final game, Oliveira played for five and half minutes and recorded 2 points and 1 rebound.

# Pantheon of Heroes

The Pantheon of Heroes (a.k.a. the Pantheon of Super Heroes) is a 30th-century superhero team based on the Legion of Super-Heroes (the cover for Pantheon's first story was drawn by former Legion artist, Dave Cockrum) and was introduced in Big Bang Comics. Pantheon of Heroes first appeared in Big Bang #12, #14 and #18 – the "TimeBomber Saga" guest-starring Erik Larsen's Savage Dragon. Mark Lewis, the man responsible for many Big Bang logos, designed a few of the earliest characters, including the Butterfly Queen which appeared slightly later.

## Fictional team history

The Pantheon is a team in the 30th century, inspired by Ultragirl and based in Ultiman's hometown - Empire City. Their headquarters was a space craft and later a citadel. Each year, they held auditions for new members. They have time traveling technology (first "Time Pills" then "Time Belts"), allowing Ultragirl to join the group. She later came to the group via "time cube".

# Amphitheatre of El Jem

The Amphitheatre of El Jem (Arabic: قصر الجم, romanized: Qaṣr al-Jamm) is an oval amphitheatre in the modern-day city of El Djem, Tunisia, formerly Thysdrus in the Roman province of Africa. It is listed by UNESCO since 1979 as a World Heritage Site.

## History

The amphitheatre was built around 238 AD in Thysdrus, located in the Roman province of Africa Proconsularis in present-day El Djem, Tunisia. It is one of the best preserved Roman stone ruins in the world, and is unique in Africa. As other amphitheatres in the Roman Empire, it was built for spectator events, and it is one of the biggest amphitheatres in the world. The estimated capacity is 35,000, and the sizes of the big and the small axes are respectively 148 metres (486 ft) and 122 metres (400 ft). The amphitheatre is built of stone blocks, located on a flat ground, and is exceptionally well conserved.
The amphitheatre of El Jem is the third amphitheatre built on the same place. The belief is that it was constructed by the local proconsul Gordian, who became emperor as Gordian II. In the Middle Ages, it served as a fortress, and the population sought shelter here during the attacks of Vandals in 430 and Arabs in 647. In 1695, during the Revolutions of Tunis, Mohamed Bey El Mouradi made an opening in one of the walls to stop the resistance of the followers of his brother Ali Bey al-Muradi who gathered inside the amphitheater.
It is believed that the amphitheatre was used as a saltpetre manufacture in the end of the 18th and in the 19th century. Around 1850, the breach in the wall was enlarged by Ahmad I ibn Mustafa to approximately 30 metres (98 ft). In the second half of the 19th century, the structure was used for shops, dwellings, and grain storage.

## References in popular culture

It was featured in films such as Monty Python's Life of Brian and the television travel series Long Way Down.
American sportswear company Nike used this location in 1996 to shoot a television commercial titled "Good vs Evil", which depicts a gladiatorial-style soccer game set in a Roman amphitheatre. Football players from around the world, including Eric Cantona, Ronaldo, Paolo Maldini, Luís Figo, Patrick Kluivert and Jorge Campos defend "the beautiful game" against a team of unsportsmanlike demonic warriors, which ends with Cantona receiving the ball from Ronaldo, pulling up his shirt collar as was his trademark, and delivering the final line, "Au Revoir", before striking the ball which punches right through the demon goalkeeper.
The fourth episode of The Amazing Race 1 concluded at the amphitheatre.

# Finger tab

In archery, a finger tab or archer tab is a small leather or synthetic patch that protects an archer's fingers from the bowstring. It is strapped or otherwise attached to an archer's hand. In summertime, tabs are far more comfortable than gloves and can more conveniently use thicker material. They are also less expensive and easier to fit, and are the normal finger-protection used with recurve bows.
The tab usually has a retaining loop on the back of the tab that fits over the middle finger, which is simply there to keep the tab on the fingers when the string is loosed. Tabs come in various forms. The simplest is made of a single patch that is placed below the nocking point between the fingers and the string. This style of shooting is called 'three finger under'. These are most often used in barebow styles of archery.
More complex tabs have a split about one third down the leading edge so that the fingers can be placed with one finger above and two fingers below the nocking point of the arrow. This style of shooting is called split finger or Mediterranean draw. The tab may also have a platform that is attached to the back of the tab and forms a flat cover over the top, to give the archer a hard reference point underneath the chin when the string is drawn back. Platform tabs are more common for recurve or Olympic-class target archery.
A thumb ring or thumb tab is used similarly to protect the thumb by archers practising the Mongolian draw. The Japanese yugake is a reinforced glove with a special ridge which holds the string.
In the past 25 years mechanical releases have become popular. The mechanism is usually attached to the wrist; it holds the string, and releases it when triggered. These are usually used with compound bows.
The term "tab" is of uncertain etymology, perhaps an alteration of tag (small hanging piece).
# Sergei Bongart

Serhii Romanovich Bongart (Ukrainian: Сергій Романович Бонгарт; 1918–1985) was an American painter. Bongart is admired for his richly colored and emotionally expressive landscapes, still lifes and portraits. He was best known as a colorist, working in exaggerated color, using dynamic but carefully controlled color relationships and extolling the virtues of approaching painting as "color first, subject last".

## Early life and education

Bongart was born in Kyiv in Ukraine. He studied art in Kyiv, Prague, Vienna and Munich, before emigrating to the United States in 1948. Bongart lived for six years in Memphis, Tennessee, the location of his sponsor.

## Career

In 1954 Bongart moved to Los Angeles where he founded an art school. He taught a number of aspiring young painters who later became well-known, nationally collected American artists—among them: Peter Liashkov, Del Gish, Sunny Apinchapong, Ron Lukus, Rulon Hacking, Melinda Miles, Patricia LeGrande Bongart, Susan Greaves, James Dudley Slay, Don Sahli, Ted Pressett, George Phillips, Guido Frick, Ovanes Berberian and S.Burkett Kaiser
In 1969 he established an art school in Idaho. He lived half the year in Santa Monica, California and the other half near Rexburg, Idaho. Much of his art reflects the rustic settings which reminded him of his homeland. A few weeks before his death Bongart got the last visit from one of his students. That happened in a Hospital near Geneva in Switzerland, where the hope was, to save his life with a cell therapy. The student was Guido Frick, a painter from Germany. He remembers his visit:” To see Sergei in this hospital bed was heartbreaking. He was half the man I met just a few months before at his last Idaho- workshop. He was so weak and fragile, he hardly could rise his arm to wave me to come in. Several pillows stabilized him, while halfway sitting in his bed. When I left, we both knew, this was the last time we have seen each other. On a stretcher he was brought back to Santa Monica and died there a few days later in a hospital”.
Bongart's work is featured in prominent museums, and has received many awards, including a 1982 Gold Medal from the National Cowboy Hall of Fame for his oil painting entitled "Spring Evening." In 1968, he was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Associate member.
There are three books written to date about Bongart:
* Balcomb, Mary N. (2002). Serhii Bongart. Seattle: Cody Publishing. ISBN 978-1887532075.
* LeGrande Bongart, Patricia (2000). Serhii Bongart: Touched by the Gods. P. Bogart. ISBN 978-0974471303.
