# George Champion (politician)

Sir George Champion (1713-1754) of St Clement's Lane, London, and Baulking, Berkshire (now Oxfordshire), was an English merchant and politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1734 to 1741. He was notably passed over for the role of Lord Mayor of London.

## Early life

Although born in London, George Champion descended from the Champion family of Baulking, near Uffington, Berkshire. He was baptised on 29 November 1713 at St Bride's, Fleet Street, London, the son of George Champion (born 1687) of Uffington, Berkshire and his wife Catherine Bould. He was the cousin of the London-based merchant Alexander Champion. He married Susanna Andrews, daughter of Sir Jonathan Andrews of Kempton Park, Middlesex. She died on 3 September 1738.

## Career

Champion became a London merchant and was a Common Councillor for Langbourn ward from 1726 to 1729. In 1729 he became a freeman of the Coopers’ Company and was chosen as alderman for Bridge ward on 26 December 1729. He served on committees set up by the common council of the city to raise petitions against legislation on the Charitable Corporation, and the excise bill, and was so effective that he became ‘the darling of the city’. At the 1734 British general election, he was returned as Member of Parliament (MP) for Aylesbury. He was knighted on 18 January 1737, and served as Sheriff of London for the year 1737 to 1738. In Parliament he was the only London alderman to vote for the Spanish convention. A Treasury order of 25 April 1738 was issued to the commissioners of customs to stay proceedings against him for unpaid duties until further orders. This may have been an incentive to win his vote for the Convention and the City figures were unimpressed. As the senior alderman below the chair, Champion would have expected to be chosen as Lord Mayor of London under the strict rotation that had prevailed for the previous 30 years. He translated to Haberdasher's Company on 18 September 1739 under the tradition that Lord Mayors were members of the oldest 12 livery companies. However, when he stood for the office of lord mayor, he was defeated on a show of hands by a great majority. Nonetheless he was Master of the Haberdashers’ for the year 1740 to 1741. In Parliament, he voted with the Administration for the place bill in 1740. He did not stand at the 1741 British general election.

## Later life and legacy

Champion made a second marriage on 27 February 1744, to Mrs Jones, a widow of Moulsford, Berkshire. In 1745 he became colonel the White Regiment of the City of London trained bands. He became President of the Honourable Artillery Company in 1750. He died on 18 July 1754, leaving a daughter by his first wife. A son by his second wife predeceased him.

# Luce (mascot)

Luce (Italian: lit. 'Light') is the official mascot of the Catholic Church's 2025 Jubilee. Designed by tokidoki founder Simone Legno, she represents a Catholic pilgrim. She is accompanied by a pet dog named Santino and three friends named Fe, Xin, and Sky.

## Description

Luce has blue hair, blue eyes and pale skin, and wears a yellow rain jacket, which is colored in reference to the flag of the Vatican City as well as a symbol for "journeying through life's storms". She carries a pilgrim's staff, which represents "the pilgrimage toward eternity", and wears mud-stained boots to represent "a long and difficult journey". Her eyes have highlights in the shape of a scallop shell, a traditional symbol of Catholic pilgrimage; her shining eyes were described as "a symbol of the hope of the heart". Luce also wears a multi-colored World Mission rosary around her neck.
Simone Legno, Luce's designer, said that he hoped "Luce can represent the sentiments that resonate in the hearts of the younger generations".

## History

Luce was unveiled by Archbishop Rino Fisichella of the Dicastery for Evangelization on October 28, 2024, as the official mascot of the 2025 Jubilee. He said that Luce was inspired by the Catholic Church's desire "to live even within the pop culture so beloved by our youth".
Luce represented the Holy See at Lucca Comics & Games in 2024, which was the first time that the Vatican officially participated in a comic convention. At Lucca Comics & Games, a large inflatable display of Luce became a popular selfie spot. Additionally, she will appear at Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan.

## Reception

Following Luce's unveiling, she quickly spawned Internet memes, fan art, and cosplay.
The designs and general artstyles of Luce and her friends have been compared to anime characters, and users on websites such as Twitter have joked about the Catholic Church embracing anime visuals. Comparisons were drawn between Luce's design and the designs of Ai Ohto, the protagonist of Wonder Egg Priority, and Rei Ayanami from Neon Genesis Evangelion. Emanuele Vietina, the director of Lucca Comics & Games, stated that Luce shared characteristics with the character Arale Norimaki from Dr. Slump.
Luce drew mixed reactions from Catholics. While many approved of her, some traditionalist commentators criticized her as "too modern and silly" to represent Catholicism. Some pushed back on the multi-colored rosary, claiming a resemblance to the pride flag; however, the rosary's colors are from the World Mission rosary created by Fulton Sheen.
Ken Iikura-Gross of Anime News Network compared the Catholic Church's use of an anime mascot to Buddy Christ from the 1999 film Dogma. In the film, Buddy Christ is a marketable and relatable redesign of Jesus Christ aimed to attract younger audiences to Catholicism. Kevin Smith, the director of Dogma, remarked that "Buddy Christ winked so Luce could dilate".
# Auckland Mako

The Auckland Mako are an ice hockey team in Auckland, New Zealand, that plays in the New Zealand Ice Hockey League, the top tier of the sport in New Zealand. The team is based in Auckland and play their home games at both Paradice Avondale and Paradice Botany Downs, alternating between the two.

## History

Founded in 2021, the Auckland Mako are the sixth team to join the New Zealand Ice Hockey League, and the first to do so since the Dunedin Thunder joined the four foundation clubs in 2008 and will begin play in the 2021–22 season. The Mako will split their home games between Auckland's two ice rinks in Avondale and Botany Downs, and will travel around the country to play away games against NZIHL opposition. The team's roster will mainly be made up of players under the age of 23, with additional veteran 'mentor' players to provide leadership, in order to help provide younger players with a pathway into the NZIHL.
On February 26, 2021, the Mako announced that they would have two Co-Head Coaches, Andreas Kaißer & A.J. Spiller, both of whom have former NZIHL experience. Spiller was also announced to be one of the nine initial mentor players.

## Team

The Mako are a unique team in that they do not have any contracted players, rather they are made up primarily of U-23 players contracted to other NZIHL teams. In the event that the Mako play against the players contracted team, the player will play for their contracted team and not the Mako. In addition to the U-23 players, there will be a smaller group of older players to provide leadership. These players will also be contracted to other NZIHL teams and will play on the same terms as the U-23 players. Due to the rotational nature of the team's roster, and the fact that they will be playing fewer games than the other NZIHL teams, Mako games will not count towards NZIHL standings, and they will be not be eligible for the play-offs, however, individual player stats will be tracked.
