# Michael Davidson (singer)

Michael Davidson (born July 20, 1963 as Michael Jay Davidson in New Jersey) is a singer and songwriter.

## Career

American-born Michael Davidson was signed to Sire Records on the recommendation of Andy Warhol, after the pair became acquainted during a mutual visit to France. Davidson won the record deal after presenting a number of songs he'd cowritten, including his most well known track, "Turn It Up".
"Turn It Up" was produced by Stock Aitken Waterman and Phil Harding and became a dance hit in 1987. The song was featured in the Madonna movie Who's That Girl. Unlike the movie, the soundtrack to Who's That Girl became a big international success, spending many weeks in the Top Ten Album Chart in the United States, Europe and Asia. Released on July 21, 1987 the album sold almost 5 million copies worldwide, of which 1 million in the US (Platinum). The Washington Post described the song as "gratingly banal" and its singer as "one of Madonna's photogenic protegés" Jerry Smith of British magazine Music Week presented "Turn It Up" an "insistent but rather one-dimensional dance track".
A second single, "Warehouse", was released in 1989, but Davidson was dropped by Warner Bros. during a period of cost cutting at the label, and his album was never released. He went on to a career in fine art photography.

# Michael Le Bourgeois

Michael Le Bourgeois (born 29 July 1990) is a Jerseyman professional rugby union player who plays for Championship side, Bedford Blues as a centre and can also play as a fullback or as a fly-half.

## Career

Le Bourgeois broke into rugby through Jersey's academy, making his debut in 2008 when Jersey were promoted to London 1 from London 2 South. In June 2011, Le Bourgeois became the first Jersey academy graduate and the first Jersey born player to sign a professional contract with Jersey. He was the top point scorer for Jersey in National League 1 for the 2011-2012 season as Jersey were promoted to the Championship. In addition, Le Bourgeois was also listed as one of the top ten kickers in National League 1 along with fellow Jersey player, Ross Broadfoot. Later in 2012, he scored Jersey's first Championship try at Headingley Stadium against Leeds Carnegie.
In April 2013, Le Bourgeois left Jersey to move to Bedford Blues. His time at Jersey was the most successful period in the club's history, scoring 891 points in league and British & Irish Cup matches and seeing the club rise from tier 5 all the way to the second division.
Le Bourgeois has also previously been selected to represent the Hampshire Rugby Football Union in the County Championship. When Jersey were promoted from level five of the English rugby union system, Le Bourgeois became ineligible to represent Hampshire.
In 2018, Le Bourgeois signed for Premiership club Wasps, and in December 2019 it was announced he had re-signed on a new contract following good performances in the number 12 shirt for Wasps since signing.

## Personal life

In Jersey, Le Bourgeois is viewed as a role model. In August 2011, Le Bourgeois was arrested for drink-driving, theft of a vehicle, driving without insurance and driving without a valid driving licence. He was banned from driving for 23 months and fined £1,600. He was also banned by Jersey for one match which meant he did not play for Jersey against Birmingham & Solihull R.F.C. Afterwards, he apologised for his actions.

# Metisella kambove

Metisella kambove, the Kambove sylph, is a butterfly in the family Hesperiidae. It is found in Nigeria, Cameroon, Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Zambia. The habitat consists of moist Brachystegia woodland.

## Subspecies

* Metisella kambove kambove (south-western Tanzania, Democratic Republic of the Congo: Shaba, Zambia: north-west to the Copperbelt)

# Metisella kakamega

Metisella kakamega, the Kakamega sylph, is a butterfly in the family Hesperiidae. It was described by de Jong in 1976. It is found in western Kenya.
# Methylselenocysteine

Methylselenocysteine, also known as Se-methylselenocysteine, is an analog of S-methylcysteine in which the sulfur atom is replaced with a selenium atom. It is an inhibitor of DMBA-induced mammary tumors and a "chemopreventive agent that blocks cell cycle progression and proliferation of premalignant mammary lesions and induces apoptosis of cancer cell lines in culture."
Apoptosis has been proposed as the most plausible mechanism for the chemopreventive activities of selenocompounds. Se-Methylselenocysteine was more efficient at inducing apoptosis than selenite, but was less toxic. The "selenite-induced cell death could be derived from necrosis rather than apoptosis, since selenite did not significantly induce several apoptotic phenomena, including the activation of caspase-3."
In the Nutritional Prevention of Cancer Trial, selenized yeast resulted in "a reduction in the incidence of prostate cancer and in total cancer incidence"; subsequent anticancer studies using selenomethionine did not show any benefit against cancer; but, selenized yeast contains both selenomethionine and methylselenocysteine.
Methylselenocysteine is found in selenized yeast, and many vegetables: "As much as 80% of the total selenium" found in Allium species (onion, leek, garlic, ramps) Brassica species (broccoli, radish, Brussels sprouts, cabbage), and milk vetch (Astragalus species, Fabaceae) "is present as Se-methylselenocysteine." The bioavailability of selenium from Se-methylselenocysteine, "is likely to be similar to that from other organic selenium compounds." Specifically, "It is converted via the action of β-lyase, to methylselenol and then to hydrogen selenide, which is also the key metabolite derived from" all other common forms of selenium. But EFSA concluded that "given the absence of human studies on Se-methylselenocysteine, the relatively sparse database on the bioavailability of selenium from this source and the limited data on the safety of this source compared with other selenium compounds, the Upper Limit for selenium defined by the Scientific Committee on Food cannot be used for judging its safety."
# State Bar of Nevada

The State Bar of Nevada is a public corporation operating under the supervision of the Nevada Supreme Court to regulate attorneys in the State of Nevada. It provides education and development programs for its members and to the public. Its departments include admissions, lawyer regulation and client protection divisions, and it provides services such as lawyer referral, law related education and access to justice. It currently has two office locations in Las Vegas and Reno.

## Membership

In order to practice law in Nevada’s state and local courts, it is mandatory for lawyers to be members of the State Bar of Nevada. In 2012, there were more than 8,600 attorneys licensed to actively practice law in Nevada. The majority of these attorneys practice in Clark County, Nevada.

## Leadership

The State Bar of Nevada is overseen by a board of governors, which carries out the state bar's administrative functions, sets policies and procedures, effects rule changes, takes legislative positions relative to the administration of justice and oversees the bar's fiduciary responsibilities.
The board of governors has 15 members, who represent four Nevada state districts. Elections for the board are held annually and governors are selected by the members of their districts to serve two-year terms. Also serving on the board is the immediate past president and two ex-officio members representing the William S. Boyd School of Law and the Board of Bar Examiners.
In addition, the State Bar of Nevada's leadership includes numerous volunteer attorneys who serve on the bar's 17 committees.

## History

The State Bar of Nevada has operated for more than 80 years; it was founded in 1928.
Prior to the incorporation of the State Bar of Nevada, a preliminary organization, the Nevada Bar Association, existed in Nevada from 1911 to 1928. At that time, the majority of lawyers resided in Washoe County, and membership in the association was voluntary.
After becoming incorporated by state legislation in 1928, the newly formed State Bar of Nevada took on several milestone tasks, including:
* May 1, 1928: Board of Bar Examiners named
* June 27, 1928: Rules of Procedure adopted
* August 3, 1928: Rules of Professional Conduct adopted
* August 21, 1928: Bylaws and Rules & Regulations of the State Bar of Nevada adopted
By the end of 1929, there were 345 active members of the state bar – 121 lived in Washoe County, 104 lived outside the state, and only 24 resided in Clark County.

The statue of Alexander Andreyevich Baranov located in Sitka, Alaska.
The memorial was vandalized, and then was relocated to the Sitka Historical Society and Museum in Harrigan Centennial Hall on September 29, 2020. Allegedly, Baranov oversaw the enslavement of Tlingit and Aleut people. The statue had previously been on outdoor public display and was removed amidst controversy by a 2020 vote of the Sitka town council.
# Statue of Albert Sidney Johnston (University of Texas at Austin)

Albert Sidney Johnston is an outdoor sculpture depicting the general of the same name by Pompeo Coppini. The sculpture was commissioned in 1919 by George W. Littlefield to be included in the Littlefield Fountain on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin. It was installed on the university's South Mall in Austin, Texas from 1933 until its removal in 2017.

## History

In 1919, University of Texas regent George W. Littlefield donated funds to pay for the construction of a "Memorial Gateway" at the south entrance to the university's campus that would honor the Confederate dead from the Civil War. He hired San Antonio-based Italian-born sculptor Pompeo Coppini to design the monument, which was to include a number of statues of notable figures from the history of Texas and the American South. The memorial was ultimately redesigned as the Littlefield Fountain and instead dedicated to the university's students and alumni who had died in the Great War (now known as World War I).
As part of the memorial project, in the 1920s Coppini sculpted bronze statues of Albert Sidney Johnston and five other Texan and Confederate notables selected by Littlefield, which he intended to display around the fountain. However, as construction on the memorial proceeded in the early 1930s, campus architect Paul Cret decided to instead install the six statues along the university's South Mall, where they were placed in 1933 as the construction of the fountain complex was completed.

### Controversy and removal

Beginning in 2015 and accelerating in 2017, a national controversy grew over the prominent positions of monuments and memorials to the Confederacy in many public spaces across the United States, and particularly in the American South. In this context, the statues of Confederate notables along the university's South Mall that Coppini had designed for the Littlefield Fountain attracted increased public criticism.
In March 2015, UT's student government passed a resolution calling for the removal of Coppini's statue of Jefferson Davis from the South Mall. That August, the university in fact removed the statues of both Davis and Woodrow Wilson from the Mall and placed them in storage, despite a lawsuit from the Texas Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, which failed to persuade the Texas Supreme Court to block the plan. On August 20, 2017, in the aftermath of the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, the university removed Johnston and the three other remaining Coppini statues of Confederate-Texan notables from the South Mall.
# Statue of Alex

A statue of Brazilian footballer Alex is installed Kadıköy's Yoğurtçu Park, in Istanbul, Turkey. The sculpture was unveiled in 2012.
In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, fans outfitted the statue with a face mask and gloves to raise awareness about protections from COVID-19.
# Michael Bentley (historian)

Michael John Bentley FRHistS (born 12 August 1948) is an English historian of British politics in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He is Emeritus Professor of Modern History at the University of St Andrews and is currently Senior Research Fellow in History at St Hugh's College, Oxford. He is the biographer of the historian Herbert Butterfield, a former Master of Peterhouse, Cambridge.

## Early life and career

Bentley was born in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, in 1948, the son of Peter and Jessie Bentley. He attended the University of Sheffield, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in history in 1969, before proceeding to postgraduate study at St John's College, Cambridge.
From 1977 to 1995 Bentley taught history at Sheffield. He then moved to the University of St Andrews, where he was appointed Professor of Modern History; he is now Emeritus.

## Critical reaction

Boyd Hilton has called Bentley's Politics Without Democracy 1815–1914 "a wonderfully 'inside' account of life at the top", whilst K. Theodore Hoppen claims the book "provides an interesting (if allusive) study of attitudes".

## Personal life

Bentley is married to the historian Sarah Foot.

# Michael Bentine's Potty Time

Michael Bentine's Potty Time was a British children's show, written by and starring Michael Bentine, and directed and produced by Leon Thau for Thames Television on ITV. It ran from 1973 to 1980. Bentine had introduced The Potties on a BBC show Michael Bentine Time a year earlier. The episodes consisted largely of bearded puppets (called "Potties"), comically re-enacting famous historical situations. The Potties' faces were always obscured by facial hair, with only their noses protruding. They were operated from beneath and had two distinct sizes - approximately two feet (60 cm) and one foot (30 cm) tall. All of the Potty characters were designed by Bentine, who also provided all of their voices. Their operators were from The Barry Smith Theatre of Puppets.
The title 'Potty Time' is a humorous double entendre also referring to the toilet training of infants - a 'potty' being slang for a child's chamber pot.
In 2001, it was voted into 71st place in Channel 4's 100 Greatest Kids' TV shows poll.
In the 1970s and early 80s it was broadcast in Australia on Channel 7. The series was also broadcast in New Zealand first on South Pacific Television and later on Television One.

## Other media

Several Region 2 DVDs of the three series have been released by Network Releasing.
This was also a title of a comic strip run in Look-in magazine featuring Bentine and the Potties, drawn by Arthur Ranson.
# Michael Gryffin

Michael Gryffin or Gryffen (died 1467) was an English-born judge in Ireland. He spent many years attempting to exercise his right to hold the office of Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer, which was also claimed by his Irish-born rival, John Cornwalsh.
Little appears to be known of his background, but Griffiths states that by 1440 he already had a long record of good service to the English Crown, and Elrington Ball describes his social rank as a "gentleman". In consideration of his "long and loyal service to the Crown", he was, in 1441, appointed Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer for life. This led immediately to a clash with John Cornwalsh, whose father James Cornwalsh, recently deceased, had held the same office; John claimed that he had been granted in reversion the right to be Chief Baron. This dispute quickly merged into the wider and long-running dispute between the two main political factions in Ireland, the Butlers and the Talbots. With the backing of the Talbots, headed by John Talbot, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury, The Crown, now siding with Griffin made an inquiry into the basis on which Cornwalsh had "outthrust" Gryffin from office. Gryffin managed to keep his rival out of office for 5 years; but in 1446 Cornwalsh, backed by his powerful patron James Butler, 4th Earl of Ormonde, obtained a declaration that Gryffin's patent of office had been obtained "surreptitiously and illegally". How a patent issued at the command of the King himself could be "illegal" is unclear: the use of the word "surreptitiously" perhaps implies that it was a forgery. The Parliament accordingly passed a statute annulling Gryffin's patent of appointment.
In justice to Cornwalsh, it must be said that he was professionally undoubtedly the better qualified of the two rivals, having studied law at the Inns of Court in the 1430s, whereas Gryffin, judging by the references to him in a memorandum of 1442, had no legal qualifications at all. Further, the lack of learning shown by the Barons of the Court of Exchequer (Ireland) as a body was a long-standing cause of concern to the English Crown. The memorandum of 1442 which referred to Gryffin's lack of legal qualifications proposed a series of reforms which included a requirement that the Chief Baron (if not the ordinary Barons) should always be a qualified lawyer. John Gough, who served as second Baron for some twenty-five years, and like Gryffin was praised for his "good service" to the Crown, might have been an acceptable compromise candidate, but this was evidently not considered.
The following year Gryffin was accused of "diverse offences" but he refused to give up the struggle to remain in office as Chief Baron: in 1449 he sat as a judge on a commission of oyer and terminer, which his enemies promptly declared illegal. In 1454, after conditions in Ireland had become more settled, he was exonerated of any wrongdoing. He died in 1467.
# Michael Felke

Michael Felke (Laufersweiler, 18 April 1895 - Sohren, 8 April 1977) was a German furniture manufacturer.

## Life

Michael Felke was the first of four children and came from a poor family background. He learned the job of a joiner in his father’s small carpenter's workshop in Laufersweiler (State of Rhineland-Palatinate).

He then moved the workshop to Sohren in 1928 and started expanding - the beginning of the company Felke-Möbelwerke GmbH & Co.KG.
Due to his dedication he was known as an industrial pioneer in the Hunsrück region. He managed to boost the region’s industry and created many jobs.
Michael Felke was married to Maria Felke and the father of 3 sons. Among his sons were Aloys Felke, manufacturer and politician, and Günter Felke, manufacturer, numismatist and patron.

## Distinctions

In 1957 Pope Pius XII decorated Michael Felke with the „Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice“ award for his social commitment. His home town Sohren nominated Felke honorary citizen. In 1965 he was awarded the German Federal Cross of Merit, First class.
