# Michael Walter (American football)

Michael David Walter (born November 30, 1960) is an American former professional football player who was a linebacker in the National Football League (NFL) for the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys. He played college football for the Oregon Ducks.

## Early life

Walter attended Sheldon High School, where he focused on basketball, playing just one year of football. He was also a member of the track team. He was named the most valuable player in the state's football All-star game.
Walter attended the University of Oregon where he was used as a linebacker, before being moved to defensive end as a sophomore.
As a senior, he became the first-team captain in head coach Rich Brooks' first six years at Oregon. He registered 13 sacks (led the team) and 18 tackles for loss (led the team). He also played in the East–West Shrine Game and the Japan Bowl.

## Professional career
### Dallas Cowboys

Walter was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the second round (50th overall) of the 1983 NFL draft, with the intention of converting him into an outside linebacker. In his new position he struggled covering the pass, so he wasn't used often. On August 27, 1984, he was waived at the end of training camp, after the Cowboys drafted four linebackers in the 1984 NFL draft.

### San Francisco 49ers

On August 28, 1984, he was claimed off waivers by the San Francisco 49ers who moved him to inside linebacker, as the backup of Jack "Hacksaw" Reynolds.
In 1985, he became a starter, showing the versatility to play three downs on defense and also special teams. He would go on to have a 10-year career with the 49ers, while leading the team in tackles in three consecutive seasons: 1987 (94), 1988 (97) and 1989 (103).
Walter wasn't re-signed for the 1994 season and was replaced by free agent Ken Norton Jr. He retired after winning three Super Bowls and playing 11 years in the NFL.

## Personal life

After football, he worked at Oak Tree Insurance. He has two daughters—a doctor and a business development executive, named Sarah and Allison.

# Hugo Weidel

Hugo Weidel (13 November 1849 – 7 June 1899) was a chemist from Austria-Hungary known for inventing Weidel's reaction and describing the structure of the organic compound nicotinic acid (niacin). For his achievements, Weidel received the Lieben Prize in 1880.

## Life and work

Hugo Weidel was born in Vienna in 1849. He studied at the Vienna University of Technology with Heinrich Hlasiwetz. He later moved to the University of Heidelberg, Germany, and obtained a Ph.D. degree there in 1870. After returning to Vienna, Weidel became assistant of Hlasiwetz in 1871. During that time, he started his research on oxidation products of cinchonine and nicotine alkaloids. He became a lecturer at the University in 1874, and, after Ludwig Barth von Barthenau became the chair of the department, Weidel could intensify his research on alkaloids. Although the oxidation of nicotine was already known, Weidel was the first to isolate large enough amounts to determine the properties of the material. That work earned him the Lieben Prize in 1880. In 1886, Weidel became a professor of agricultural chemistry at the pedology institute in Vienna. Most of his time there was occupied by lecturing and educating students. After the retirement of von Barth in 1891, he returned to his previous institute and assumed the position of full professor.
In 1890, Weidel became a member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and in 1898 he received the Decoration of the Iron Crown of the emperor of Austria.

## Death

Without any sign of illness, he delivered his lecture on the morning of June 7, 1899, but died after a few hours from a heart problem.
# Raf Manji

Raf Alfred Manji (born 1966) is a former New Zealand politician, with a background in governance, finance and social enterprise. He was the leader of The Opportunities Party (TOP) from 27 January 2022 to 3 December 2023.

## Early life

Manji was born in London to an Indian Muslim father who worked as a banker and an Irish Catholic mother. He was educated at the University of Manchester, graduating with a degree in economics and social studies. He went travelling in Asia and met a New Zealand woman, whom he later married. He worked as an investment banker, before migrating to New Zealand with his family in 2002. He earned a Graduate Diploma in Politics and a Masters in International Law and Politics from the University of Canterbury. He worked for non-profits and volunteering before becoming involved in the Volunteer Army Foundation.

## Political career

Manji was elected to the Christchurch City Council for the Fendalton-Waimairi ward in 2013 after being encouraged to run by mayor Lianne Dalziel. He quickly became Dalziel's right-hand man on finance issues with the support of Deputy Mayor Andrew Turner, serving as deputy chair on financial committees and helping to manage the post-earthquake rebuild. He was re-elected in the Waimairi Ward in 2016.
Manji contested the electorate of Ilam, which had been a safe seat for the National Party, as an independent at the 2017 New Zealand general election. He campaigned on a platform of being a voice for Christchurch during its recovery from the 2011 Christchurch earthquake, including promoting the idea of an investment fund for local housing, and Christchurch bidding to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games. Manji polled well, coming second behind incumbent National Party MP Gerry Brownlee, and ahead of the Labour Party candidate.
He retired from the Christchurch City Council at the 2019 New Zealand local elections.
Following the 2019 Christchurch mosque shootings Manji suggested that inequality resulting from financial deregulation had helped radicalise alt-right terrorism. He was subsequently appointed to chair an advisory group to decide how to use money raised to support the victims. Following the approach used after the Grenfell Tower fire he established a "listening project" and spent months meeting with victims and hearing their stories. In November 2020 he advocated for a $34.8 million government compensation package to victims and their families.
On 27 January 2022 he was announced as the new leader of The Opportunities Party. He contested the Ilam seat at the 2023 New Zealand general election. Manji came second place behind National Party candidate Hamish Campbell in the Ilam electorate, winning 10,863 votes. TOP only received 2.22% of the party vote, which was below the five percent threshold needed to enter Parliament.
On 3 December 2023, he announced that he was stepping down from his role as leader of The Opportunities Party following the party's failure to be elected to parliament in the 2023 New Zealand general election.

# Western Iowa Conference

The Western Iowa Conference is a high school athletic conference made up of smaller 1A and bigger 2A schools located mostly in the greater Council Bluffs area. The teams in the conference have a deep-rooted history together. Most of the schools have been with the conference throughout its history.

## History

The Western Iowa Conference was organized in 1972 through the merger of the former Tri-County and Southwest Iowa Conferences. Members of the Tri-County Conference at that time were Carson–Macedonia, Elk Horn–Kimballton, Iowa School for the Deaf, Shelby-Tennant, Treynor, Tri-Center (Neola), Underwood, and Walnut. The members of the Southwest Iowa Conference then were AvoHa (Avoca), Griswold, Missouri Valley, and Oakland. Competition in the new 12-team conference began in the summer of 1971 with baseball and softball tournaments. No regular season schedules were played during the 1971–72 school year, but girls and boys basketball tournaments and the traditional wrestling tournament were held in early 1972.
Many changes have occurred since then to turn today’s WIC into an 8-team league. It remained a 12-team conference until after the 1981–82 school year. At that time Elk Horn–Kimballton and Walnut dropped out to join the Rolling Hills Conference. Following the 1982–83 school year, Iowa Deaf dropped out making the WIC a 9-team conference. After the 1985–86 school year, Carson–Macedonia dropped out, but would eventually join with Oakland to form Riverside. Then following the 1987–88 school year Shelby-Tennant left the league, but it would join forces with AvoHa a few years later to form what is now known as AHST. Finally, for the 1990–91 school year, Audubon joined the WIC to make it the 8-team league.
The league saw a change in membership for the first time in over two decades when Logan–Magnolia and IKM–Manning joined from the Western Valley Activities Conference for the 2013–14 season. Griswold left in 2018-19 for the Corner Conference (Iowa).

# Weston-McEwen High School

Weston-McEwen High School is a public high school in Athena, Oregon, United States that is known for its pipe band.

## History

Athena Weston School District was created in the 1970s with the merger of when the Athena and Weston school districts merged. Weston High School and McEwen High School were also merged, along with their respective mascots, the Tiger and the Scottie Dog, to form the new mascot, the "TigerScot".

## Academics

In 2008, 84% of the school's seniors received their high school diploma. Of 43 students, 36 graduated, three dropped out, and four were still in high school the following year.

## Pipe band

The Weston-McEwen Pipes, Drums, and Military Band began as a girls' pep band and highland dancing team in the early 1950s. A girls' pep band was organized at McEwen High School in Athena. Attempting to continue the community's Scottish heritage, six girls were selected annually as a highland dancing team. Called the "Highland Lassies", they performed the Highland Fling with the school band at sports events. In 1958, the group acquired a set of pipes. In 1972, the group was transformed into a full-fledged pipes and drums unit. In 1980, the first male players joined and the group's name was officially changed to the Weston-McEwen Pipes and Drums.
# Westwind Preparatory Academy

Westwind Preparatory Academy was a college preparatory public charter high school in Phoenix, Arizona, operated by Westwind Children's Services, a nonprofit operator of several other Phoenix-area charter schools, Westwind Community Schools. The school opened in 1998 and closed in 2015. It received accreditation in 2001 as a college preparatory high school. The school was located on a 5-acre site near 19th Avenue and Northern in Phoenix, with student housing adjacent to the campus.
The school was an International Baccalaureate World School from 2010 until its closure. It also had an international division approved with SEVIS, and 20% of its students attended on a tuition basis.

## Basketball

In 2007, WPA added a basketball post grad program (sometimes known as a prep program) designed to help basketball players further develop athletically and academically before starting their university experience. Student athletes are required to take academic classes either at the high school level or dual enrollment college classes, in addition to their training and competition. In 2009, WPA's prep program was ranked 6th in the country by ESPN. To date, four WPA alumni have gone on to the NBA: Greg Smith, Jamaal Franklin, Tony Snell, and Gary Payton II. Alum Kiwi Gardner played in the NBA D-League. Over 45 WPA alumni have gone on to play at the collegiate level. During the 2012–13 season, there were only two Chinese players competing at the Division One level, one of which, Ted Wang, is a WPA alumni.
The international facet of the school received attention in 2011 after the school's basketball team won the Arizona Interscholastic Association 2A state title. The composition of the team was heavily international. The situation with Westwind and The Orme School of Arizona prompted changes in AIA policies about international students on sports teams. In its final few years, Westwind Prep moved to the Canyon Athletic Association, which allows international students to compete in athletics.
Phoenix Westwind Prep was first to really start a prep program in the Valley, first coached by Gary Trousdale, then by Jeff de Laveaga in 2011 and '12. But that was short-lived, mainly because academics didn't line up with the NCAA Clearinghouse, forcing players, such as former Arizona State forward Zylan Cheatham, to retake courses in order to catch up and be Division I college eligible after graduating.

## Closure

Westwind was shuttered after the 2014–2015 school year due to low enrollment. As of 2019, the entire site where the school once stood has been completely demolished, making way for new developments in the area.
