# Alexe Procopovici

Alexe Procopovici (March 14, 1884 – June 22, 1946) was an Austro-Hungarian-born Romanian linguist and philologist.

## Biography

Born in Cernăuți, in the Duchy of Bukovina, his father was the Orthodox priest Ioan Procopovici. After graduating from the state gymnasium in his native city in 1902, he studied at the philosophy faculty of Czernowitz University, where one of his professors was Sextil Pușcariu. He specialized in classical philology and Romanian phonetics. His 1908 PhD thesis dealt with nasalization and rhotacism. He taught at a Cernăuți gymnasium from 1906 to 1919, and at a similar institution in Siret from 1909 to 1910. In late 1918, he helped found Glasul Bucovinei newspaper, joined the Romanian National Council and voted at the congress that endorsed the union of Bukovina with Romania. In the months that followed, he was intensely active at his newspaper. In June 1919, he was elected a corresponding member of the Romanian Academy; Sextil Pușcariu, who considered him Bukovina’s pre-eminent philologist, proposed the nomination, which greatly irritated Eugen Lovinescu and others. In September, he joined the Democratic Union Party, which merged into the National Liberal Party in 1923.
From 1922 to 1938, Procopovici was a full professor at Cernăuți University, serving as dean in 1924–1925. In 1927, he became an adviser to the Education Ministry on secondary schools in Bukovina. In 1933, he was elected to the Assembly of Deputies, where he represented Câmpulung Moldovenesc for the National Liberal Party–Brătianu. He founded Revista filologică (1927-1928). He contributed to Dacoromania, Arhiva (Bucharest) and Făt-Frumos (Cernăuți) magazines. He transferred to Cluj University in 1938, and in 1940 took over Pușcariu's professorship and his leadership of the Museum of the Romanian Language. From February to June 1941, he was acting rector of the university. This occurred after Pușcariu was fired due to his Iron Guard affiliation (in the wake of a failed rebellion by the organization) and before Iuliu Hațieganu was appointed on a permanent basis. At the time, the university was temporarily located in Sibiu due to the Second Vienna Award. His studies focused on early writings in Romanian and on old Romanian literature. He contributed to the academy's encyclopedic dictionary. He edited old texts such as Coresi’s sermon (1914) or Ion Neculce’s chronicle (1932). Arrested after the Romanian Communist Party came to power in 1945, he was held at the Târgu Jiu internment camp, where he became seriously ill. Once released, he returned to teaching; his final course was on the philosophy of the phrase. He died in Cluj. He was a knight of the Order of Michael the Brave.

Bad Boys is the fourth and final studio album by the original formation of Spanish duo Baccara, first released on label RCA-Victor in Germany in 1981. It contains European single release "Colorado". This is the first album to have not been produced by Rolf Soja. The album was produced by Graham Sacher in London, UK. The typical Baccara sound of early albums was gone, a more pop-rock album was the result. Also missing was the original Baccara logo that was on the three albums produced before Bad Boys. This album was not a commercial success nor did it sell as much as the first three albums. This album would be the last time the original girls would record together.
The rights to the RCA-Victor back catalogue are currently held by Sony BMG Music Entertainment – the original Bad Boys album in its entirety remains unreleased on compact disc. However, all tracks can be found on the 3-disc 30th Anniversary box set issued in 2007.

# St Michael's, Manchester

St Michael's is a mixed-use redevelopment project in Jackson's Row in Manchester city centre, England, by Gary Neville's development company. It is to include two towers containing a hotel, flats, offices, a rooftop restaurant and a public square. First proposed in 2016, it began construction in 2022.

## Development

St Michael's Manchester is a redevelopment project by Gary Neville's company Relentless on the site of the former Bootle Street police station, Manchester Reform Synagogue and Sir Ralph Abercromby pub on Jackson's Row, Manchester, planned to consist of two towers, nine and 40 storeys tall, with a 191-room hotel, 181 flats, a 900-seat rooftop restaurant, 185,000 sq ft (17,200 m$^2$) of office space, and a public park, St Michael's Square.

## History

The development was proposed in 2016, originally by Neville in partnership with Ryan Giggs, after almost ten years of land acquisition and planning, and was to have had 21-storey and 31-storey black-clad towers designed by architecture firm Make. There were objections to the size and design of the towers, the loss of historic buildings, and the lack of affordable housing. After a redesign, with Make leaving the project and being replaced by Hodder + Partners, retention of the pub and police station façades, and expansion of the planned retail component, it was approved by Manchester City Council in March 2018. Giggs resigned from the venture in 2020, and the conversion of the police station into a second, 29-room hotel was replaced with office conversion in 2021 because of economic contraction in the wake of the COVID pandemic.

### Phase One

Construction of Phase One, the nine-storey office block with rooftop restaurant and St Michael's Square, was begun by Bowmer + Kirkland in January 2022, and is scheduled for completion in 2024. Relentless is developing this phase in partnership with the American investment company KKR.

### Phase Two

Phase Two is to be a 40-storey building containing the hotel and apartments, developed by Relentless with Salboy Group. Domis is to begin construction in January 2023 for scheduled completion in 2026.
