# Ferdinando Palasciano

Ferdinando Palasciano (June 13, 1815 – November 28, 1891) was an Italian physician and politician, considered one of the forerunners of the foundation of the Red Cross.

## Biography

Born in Capua (Campania, then part of the Kingdom of Naples), he graduated early in Literature and Philosophy, Veterinary Science and, finally, in Medicine and Surgery.
In 1848 he fought in the Bourbon army against the Risorgimento riots of 1848. However, his help to wounded went against the Royal orders, and he risked to be executed for insubordination. He declared:
   The wounded, whatever army they belong to, are sacred to me and cannot be considered as enemies.
This declaration is believed to be one of the first related to the main "help principles" of the Red Cross.
Thanks to the intervention of King Ferdinand II, the sentence was commuted to one year in prison jail in Reggio Calabria.
In 1865 he was appointed as Professor of Surgical Chemistry at the University of Naples and in 1883 he was among the founders of the Italian Surgical Society.
During the Expedition of Thousand, Palasciano fought at the "Battle of Volturnus", taking care of wounded Borbonic soldiers.
Two years after, he worked on the other side of the trenches, since he was called by Giuseppe Garibaldi to cure a malleolus wound that he received while fighting on the Aspromonte mountains. The two made friends and started an epistolary correspondence now housed in the museum of San Martino, Naples.
He was also a member of the Italian Chamber of Deputies and Senate, and counsellor at the comune of Naples.
Around 1886 Palasciano developed dementia. He died in 1891 and was buried in the square of illustrious figure in Poggioreale Cemetery, Naples.

# Larus (Cantabrian)

Larus (supposedly died 207 BC) was a leader of Cantabrian mercenaries in the Carthaginian army during the Second Punic War, according to Silius Italicus's poem Punica.

## Biography

Larus is mentioned only by Silius in his poem, where he is noted as the only outstanding man in the battle in Celtiberia that pitted Punic generals Mago Barca and Hanno against their Roman homologue Marcus Junius Silanus. Some authors have doubted of the existence of Larus, noting in Silius the intention to embellish his chronicle of the war with epic heroes and duels in the style of ancient Greek literature. However, others have doubted this approach, pointing out that his role in the battle is too notable to be entirely fictitious.
Assuming his historicity, Larus would have been active in 207 BC. After the Battle of the Metaurus, where Hasdrubal Barca and his newly hired Spanish mercenaries were defeated by Gaius Claudius Nero and Marcus Livius Salinator, Hanno and Mago would have started another recruitment campaign in Hispania in order to replace Hasdrubal's army. Among their mercenaries it was Larus, leading a contingent of the Cantabrian youth armed with battle axes and caetras as per their custom. Larus was described as a man of immense stature and martial skill, embodying the Celtic warrior ideal, who went to war wielding a double-headed axe (bipennis) with a single hand. He was also known as a fearsome unarmed fighter.
Larus's first and only deployment started when the Roman forces attacked the Carthaginian positions. Believing themselves safe from attacks, Mago and Hanno had divided their camp and relaxed their defense, which encumbered their capacity of reaction. Their army was quickly routed except by Larus and his battalion, who mounted a fierce counterattack. Even when all his men were slain, Larus remained standing and doing battle, killing so many soldiers by himself alone that the Roman infantry began avoiding him in terror. Only Lucius Cornelius Scipio engaged him, fighting him in a singles duel and ultimately killing Larus after severing his arm. With the Cantabrian dead, the Punics were defeated and Hanno was captured.
In his text, Silius speaks as well about another mercenary named Larus, who was compared to a gorgon for his frightening appearance. However, this was not the same as the Cantabrian Larus, but a Gaul soldier of the same name.

# Alain André

Alain André is a lawyer, a university and college law professor, a Canadian politician and a former City Councillor in Montreal, Quebec.
André's legal specialty is criminal law. As a professor, he taught at the University of Quebec in Montreal. He currently teaches law in the police and correctional technology programs at John Abbott College in Sainte Anne de Bellevue, near Montreal.
Before running for office, André was a political attaché and administrative assistant to Yvon Lamarre, chairman of Montreal's executive committee during the time of Mayor Jean Drapeau.
André was the founder and leader of the Parti Municipal (Municipal Party), a Montreal political party that competed with the Civic Party of Montreal for the right of centre vote and official opposition status from 1989 to 1992. He first attempted to join the Montreal City Council in a 1989 by-election in the district of Sault-au-Récollet. He secured 39% of the vote, losing to the Civic candidate, Serge Sauvageau, by a margin of 1%.
In 1990, he finished third in the mayoral election with only 10% of the vote, but was elected city Councillor for the district of Ahuntsic with 38% of the vote, and became Leader of the Opposition. However, the Parti Municipal suffered a number of defections in favor of the Civic Party, and by 1991, the Democratic Coalition of Montreal temporarily became the Official Opposition. The Parti Municipal soon merged with the Civic Party, and André sat as a Civic Councilmember.
André decided not to compete in the city council election of 1994 following a false accusation of sexual assault. In the light of the findings of a private investigation commissioned by André, the crown prosecutor dropped all the charges against him. André sued the crown and the police department for accusing him without having properly investigated the alleged charges. In 1999, the city of Montreal, as the police employer, was condemned by the Quebec Court of Appeal for wrongful arrest and ordered to pay André and his wife, Lorraine Drouin, $366,800 plus costs and interest a total amount of nearly $700,000.
In 2005, André ran as a candidate for the city council in the Saint-Sulpice district as the Vision Montreal candidate, but he was defeated by Jocelyn Ann Campbell of UCIM (later renamed as Union Montreal).

# Puerto Rican Communist Party

The Puerto Rican Communist Party (in Spanish: Partido Comunista Puertorriqueño, PCP) was a communist party in Puerto Rico founded on 23 September 1934 following the sugar strikes on the island that same year. Relevant members include General Secretary Alberto E. Sánchez, president Juan Santos Rivera, and Jose A. Lanauze Rolón. The party emerged out of a turbulent political moment where faith in previous workers parties and organizations, such as the Socialist Party and the Free Federation of Workers, was waning and the Puerto Rican economy was experiencing a downturn. While membership remained small, the PCP interacted and influenced the labor and political space of mid-20th century Puerto Rico as well as political spaces outside of the island. These interactions include those with the Popular Democratic Party, The Communist Party of the United States of America, and the Nationalist Party of Puerto Rico.

## Political context

The PCP emerges following various worker and student led general strikes in 1934 and 1935.
In conjunction with the mid-1930s labor movements, the formation of the PCP was also internationally influenced. The Communist Party of the United States of America (CPUSA) was supportive of the PCP's founding with additional support from the Communist Party of Cuba (CPC). Indeed, there was a substantial interconnectedness between the CPUSA, Puerto Rican Communists in New York's Lower Manhattan, and the PCP.

## Political agenda, strategies, and relations with other political groups

The PCP utilized their newspaper periodical Lucha Obrera (Worker's Struggle) in order to communicate their agendas and messages to the public. The paper was brief, however, it served to document the PCP's ongoing movements and objectives.
# Motonobu Tanishige

Motonobu Tanishige (Japanese: 谷繁 元信, born December 21, 1970, in Hiroshima) is a retired Japanese professional baseball player and manager.
Tanishige played 27 seasons in Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB), appearing in more games than any other player in NPB history. Making his debut for the Taiyo Whales in 1989 at age 18, he played for the franchise for 13 years. In 2002, he moved to the Chunichi Dragons, where he played for 14 seasons, until 2015. He was the player-manager of the Chunichi Dragons from 2014 to 2015, staying on as manager in 2016.
Tanishige played in five Japan Series. He played in the 2006 World Baseball Classic, when Japan won the championship.

## Professional career

Tanishige performed well in the 2004 Japan Series (in which the Dragons lost 4-games-to-3 to the Seibu Lions), including hitting his first career grand slam.
In 2015, Tanishige broke the NPB record for games played, passing Katsuya Nomura with 3,018 — he later extended the record. Tanishige is second on the career strikeout list with 1,838. With more than 200 career home runs, Tanshige is a member of the Meikyukai hall of fame.

## Managerial career

After retiring from playing at the end of the 2015 season, Tanishige became full-time manager of the Dragons. After a rocky start to the season followed by a lacklustre continuation following the All-Star break, on August 10, 2016, he was relieved from his duties alongside fielding coach Takahiro Saeki. He was replaced by head coach, Shigekazu Mori for the remainder of the season.
