Leo Horn

Leo Horn
Leopold Sylvain Horn (29 August 1916 – 16 September 1995) was a Dutch football referee.
Horn was born in Sittard, where he was a friend of entertainer Toon Hermans. The family moved to Amsterdam in 1928. Horn became a clerk with the textile firm Lehmann & Co, and became an amateur referee, after his playing career was ended by a knee injury.
Second World War
Horn came to prominence as a referee after the Second World War. During the War Horn fought with the Dutch Resistance and had been awarded a black belt in judo. Horn was suspended from refereeing by a Royal Dutch Football Association on orders of the annexed Dutch Government on account of being Jewish, in 1941. His brother, Edgar Horn, was murdered in a concentration camp.
Major matches
Horn was placed in charge of the famous 1953 England–Hungary match at Wembley Stadium and is one of only four men to have refereed two European Champions' Cup finals, beginning with the 1957 final in the competition's second year. In the 1962 final against Benfica, Real Madrid player Ferenc Puskás was seen to throw something into the crowd. Ken Jones, an English journalist, later asked Horn why he had not cautioned Puskás. Horn replied: "What you don't know is that I threw my whistle at Puskás," Horn said. "It hit him in the ear." (It was the whistle that Puskás had thrown into the crowd). The next September Horn refereed the playoff of the 1962 Copa Libertadores Finals after the original two-legged tie ended in a draw.
Toward the end of his career Horn was appointed to referee the Leeds United v Valencia match in the Inter Cities Fairs Cup on 2 February 1966. Jack Charlton, after being struck by a Valencian player, struck out and a free-for-all ensued, only to be broken up by the police. Horn lead both sides off the pitch, expelling Charlton and Vidagany in the tunnel. Of this game, Jack Charlton said: "One of the greatest storms in European football burst about the heads of Leeds United when they played Valencia. I was in the centre of the row – three players, including myself, were ordered off; both teams were also summoned from the field for a spell to allow heated tempers to cool" Horn claimed: 'Money was the cause of the trouble. You could almost smell it on the pitch.' Don Revie, said: 'If this is European football I think we are better out of it'."
He refereed his last match Ajax vs. Bulgaria on 31 August 1966.
Personal life
Horn became a firm friend of Abraham Klein later in life. He died in Amstelveen aged 79.

Meaza Ashenafi (born 25 July 1964) is an Ethiopian lawyer. In November 2018, she was appointed by the Federal Parliamentary Assembly as President of the Federal Supreme Court of Ethiopia until her resignation on 17 January 2023.
Personal life and education
Meaza was born in Asosa, Ethiopia. She attended both elementary and high school in Asosa and join Addis Ababa University Law department. She received a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) from Addis Ababa University and Master of Arts (M.A.) degree in international relations and gender studies from the University of Connecticut. She is married to Dr. Araya Asfaw, Professor of Physics at Addis Ababa University, and they have two daughters together.
Career
Meaza served as a Judge of the Federal Supreme Court of Ethiopia between 1989 and 1992. In 1993 she was appointed by the Ethiopian Constitution Commission as a legal adviser. In 1995, Meaza founded the Ethiopian Women Lawyers Association (EWLA), and became its executive director. Through her legal contacts, she has been instrumental in campaigning for women's rights in Ethiopia; her Fighting For Women's Rights In Ethiopia group had approximately 45 graduate lawyers working for it in 2002.
Meaza has held a position with the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa. She played a part in the development of the first women's bank in Ethiopia, Enat Bank, which was established in 2011; as of 2016, she was chairing its board of directors.

Political positions
In a 2009 speech Meaza was outspoken on the stereotypes that women face in Ethiopian society, making mention of Amharic proverbs for the way women are perceived, portraying them mostly as delicate and weak. The communications tradition over time has used these proverbs to advance men and degrade women. Some of the ideas given by these proverbs are that a woman's place is only in domestic duties and that women in general lack common sense and are irresponsible.
Recognition
In 2003, Meaza became a Hunger Project Award laureate, winning the Grassroots Ethiopian Women of Substance Africa Prize, Two years later, she was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Her most famous case was turned into the 2014 Ethiopian film Difret, which was promoted by Angelina Jolie as executive producer and went on to win the World Cinematic Dramatic Audience Award at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival.

Wendy Thomas

Wendy Thomas
Melinda Lou "Wendy" Thomas-Morse (born September 14, 1961) is the daughter of American businessman Dave Thomas, the founder of the fast food brand Wendy's. She is the namesake and mascot of the brand. She uses the name Wendy Thomas in her role as a spokesperson for Wendy's.
Early life and education
Thomas was born in Columbus, Ohio, grew up in Upper Arlington, and is the fourth child of Dave and Lorraine Thomas.
As a child, she was unable to pronounce her L's and R's, struggling with her own name Melinda, and so became known by her nickname Wendy (with the pen-pin merger). The eight-year-old would eventually become the namesake of her father's restaurant Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers, or just "Wendy's" for short. In addition to being the namesake, her likeness was used as the Wendy's logo in the form of a young freckle-faced girl in red braids. Thomas graduated from the University of Florida in 1983 with a bachelor's degree in consumer behaviorism.
Career
Thomas owned several Wendy's restaurants near Dallas, Texas until 1999. After the death of her father Dave Thomas in 2002, she and her siblings bought restaurants in her native Columbus area. , Thomas herself owned or co-owned more than 30 Wendy's stores. In November 2010, she began appearing in Wendy ads on camera for the first time. (Her voice was featured in a 1989 ad giving her father advice from off-camera.) The 2010 ads aired first in Las Vegas, Nevada; Mobile, Alabama; and Virginia Beach, Virginia; test markets before being rolled out nationally.
Beginning in April 2012 she starred in a series of ads for Wendy's called That Wendy's Way. She also appeared in the 'Dave's Hot 'N Juicy Cheeseburger' commercial produced by Publicis Groupe's Kaplan Thaler Group.

ريال يونيون

ريال يونيون
ريال أونيون فريق كرة قدم تاريخي في إسبانيا إذ يعود تأسيسه لعام 1915، ولكنه يلعب حالياً في الدرجة الثالثة.
فريق تميز بتمريراته حتى ان بيليه قال لو لعبت البرازيل معهم لتشتت من تمريراتهم.
صعد للدرجة الأولى خلال مرحلة 1928 و1932 إلا أنه سـرعان ما هبط في المواسم التالية، بعد أن تحوّل لأوّل فريق يخـسر كل مبارايات الدوري ويخرج خالي الوفاض من دون أيّة نقطة على الإطلاق.
دخلوا التاريخ من أوسـع أبوابه جراء ارتفاعهم للأعلى ثم انخفاضهم المفاجئ ولا أحد يعلم السبب، ولكن لم ينـسَ الملايين هذا الفريق. أمّا أهمّ إنجازاته فهو فوزه بكأس الملك أربع مرّات، آخرها عام 1927.

هز كتف

هز كتف
هز الكتفين أو التّلوّي هو إيماءة تُجرى برفع الكتفين. تُستعمل للعبير عن اللا مبالاة أو عدم المعرفة. هز الكتفين هو شعار، بمعنى أنه يدمج مفردات ثقافات معينة فقط ويمكن استخدامه بدلاً من الكلمات. ويُستخدم أيضاً عند تجاهل سؤال ما. وقد يُبرَزُ أكثر برفع الحواجب ورفع البراطم أو التعبس المبالغ فيه، أو بتمييل الرأس أو رفع الكفوف. يشيع استخدامه في الثقافة الغربية. فبدلاً من قول «لا أعلم»، يمكن للمرء ببساطة أن يهز كتفيه. في المناطق الناطقة بالإنجليزية، قد يكون مصحوبًا بنخر من ثلاثة مقاطع لفظية أو غمغمة يحاكي نغمة «لا أعرف».
هزات الكتف قد تكون عرضاً من أعراض التشنجات اللاإرادية لمتلازمة توريت.
الإيموجي
يُضمّن إيموجي هز الكتف ¯\_(ツ)_/¯، باستعمال الحرف الياباني "ツ" من أبجدية الكاتاكانا.

Daniel Page

Daniel Page
Daniel D. Page (March 5, 1790April 29, 1869) was the second mayor of St. Louis, Missouri, United States.
Daniel Page was born in Parsonsfield, Maine, in 1790. At the age of fifteen, he moved to Portland, Maine, where he learned to be a baker, later setting up his own shop in Boston, Massachusetts. In Boston, he met and married Miss Deborah Young. Shortly thereafter, he moved to New Orleans, Louisiana, and became established in the tobacco trading business. Despite his success, he moved to St. Louis, Missouri in 1818 due to his wife's failing health as she was adversely affected by the climate in New Orleans.
Page was elected the mayor of St. Louis in 1829 and went on to serve four consecutive one-year terms. He was only the second mayor of St. Louis, the first being William Carr Lane who stepped down after serving six years in office. During his administration, many of the streets in St. Louis were graded and paved, a night watch was established for the protection of the citizens, and street cleaning and refuse collection were begun. Page also strengthened the Health Department and advocated for an improvement to public waterworks system.
After his tenure as mayor had ended, Page turned his attention to his business matters. In 1833, he built the first steam-powered flour mill in St. Louis. In 1848, he partnered with his son-in-law Henry D. Bacon and created the banking house of Page & Bacon. During this time, he invested heavily in railroads and real estate. Page & Bacon closed in 1855 on account of financial difficulties from building of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad.
Daniel Page died in Washington, D.C., on April 29, 1869, and was buried in Bellefontaine Cemetery in St. Louis. Page Boulevard in St. Louis was named in his honor.
