Over the centuries, there have been several moments that have marked the activity of the companies that are at its origin: mergers, nationalization and later privatization, expansion into new markets, and adoption of new strategies. The name Fidelidade Mundial thus results from the merger in 2002 of the insurance companies Fidelidade and Mundial Confiança. This was followed in 2012 by the merger of Fidelidade Mundial and Império Bonança, giving rise to Fidelidade - Companhia de Seguros, S.A.. In 2014, the Chinese conglomerate Fosun International was chosen by the Portuguese state to buy Fidelidade which was by then an asset of Caixa Geral de Depósitos, a Portuguese state-run bank.

Crab Day is the fourth studio album by Welsh musician Cate Le Bon, released on 15 April 2016 by Drag City, Turnstile Music, and Caroline International. It was produced by Josiah Steinbrick and Noah Georgeson and recorded at Panoramic House, a hilltop mansion in the coastal town of Stinson Beach, California. The artist Phil Collins created a short film set in Berlin to coincide with the release.

Recording
After the experience working with American musician Tim Presley as DRINKS, Le Bon changed her working method. She created short demos and used different instruments. Lyrics were written after the music had been completed. She described the process as "the songs were mapped out in my head and I had vocal melodies, just not lyrics". When the songs had been developed, they were rehearsed over five days together with Stephen Black (bass), H. Hawkline (guitar) and Stella Mozgawa (drums). Upon entering the studio, recording was completed over five days after which Le Bon completed her vocals and overdubs. It was followed by the process of selecting the songs and running order for the album.

Critical reception

Crab Day received positive reviews from contemporary music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 75, based on 21 reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews".

Laura Snapes of Pitchfork Media gave the album a favorable review, stating, "Crab Day is a voyage into doubt led by a queasy compass, and a ringleader who's prepared to stake out uncertain territory. Le Bon always keeps you guessing, making the old traditions of guitar-oriented rock feel arbitrary, too. Her nervy assessments of the world are filled with equal parts suspense and heart, and beautifully zany riffs, where the feeling of being frayed by uncertainty comes together into a strangely comforting patchwork."

An amateur radio operating award is earned by an amateur radio operator for establishing two-way communication (or "working") with other amateur radio stations.  Awards are sponsored by national amateur radio societies, radio enthusiast magazines, or amateur radio clubs, and aim to promote activity on the amateur radio bands.  Each award has its own set of rules and fees.  Some awards require the amateur radio operator to have contacted other stations in a certain number of countries, Maidenhead grid locators, or counties.  Because amateur radio operators are forbidden by regulation to accept financial compensation for their on-air activity, award recipients generally only receive a certificate, wooden plaque, or a small trophy as recognition of their award.

Most amateur radio operating awards require that the applicant submit proof, such as QSL cards, of the contacts which satisfy the requirements of the award.

There are thousands of operating awards available.  The most popular awards are the Worked All States award and the Worked All Continents award, and the more challenging Worked All Zones, DX Century Club (DXCC), Islands on the Air (IOTA) and VHF/UHF Century Club (VUCC) awards.  DXCC is the most popular awards program, initially requiring amateurs to contact 100 of the 340 () separately designated countries and territories ("entities") in the world.  (DXing is the practice of contacting distant parties.) Other popular awards include contacting remote islands, beaches, US counties, and lighthouses. Many awards are available for contacting amateurs in a particular country, region or city.  Summits On The Air, or SOTA, tallies points towards awards to hams who broadcast from mountain elevations or make contact with those transmitting from them, for which events are scheduled periodically.

Special event stations

Many amateurs also enjoy setting up and contacting special event stations. Set up to commemorate special occurrences, they often issue distinctive QSLs or certificates.  Some use unusual prefixes, such as the call signs with "96" that amateurs in the US State of Georgia could use during the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, or the OO prefix used by Belgian amateurs in 2005 to commemorate their nation's 175th anniversary.   (Not surprisingly, there are also awards for working sufficient numbers of prefixes.)  Some events are held annually such as Guides on the Air and Jamboree on the Air. Many amateurs decorate their radio "shacks" (the room where they keep their radios) with these certificates.

GEAS (Grand Edinburgh Adventuring Society, also known as GEAS Roleplaying Society or Edinburgh University Roleplaying Society) is the roleplaying society of the University of Edinburgh. The society plays host annually to Conpulsion, Scotland's oldest, largest gaming convention.

History 
GEAS was founded in 1978 with a stated goal of "[fostering] the cause of all roleplaying games." It gained a website in the early days of the Web (1993/1994), which by 1997 was reputedly "Europe's most popular roleplaying website", and accounted for almost half the web traffic of the University of Edinburgh. By the time the GEAS Village (as it was known then) closed, sometime in September 2001, it had been the largest independent roleplaying website in the world, primarily due to its use of then-cutting edge technology in combining graphics, archives of roleplaying material, and some of the world's first internet message boards.

In 1987, GEAS ran a convention titled Dungeon Aid to raise money for charity. The event proved very popular so became an annual fixture, renamed Big Con after a few years, then Conpulsion in 1995.

John Wilson (5 April 1595 – 22 February 1674) was an English composer, lutenist and teacher. Born in Faversham, Kent, he moved to London by 1614, where he succeeded Robert Johnson as principal composer for the King's Men, and entered the King's Musick in 1635 as a lutenist. He received the degree of D.Mus from Oxford in 1644, and he was Heather Professor of Music there from 1656 to 1661. Following the Restoration, he joined the Chapel Royal in 1662. He died at Westminster.

Wilson was part of a coterie of artists and musicians surrounding the court of Charles I that included the likes of Ben Jonson, Inigo Jones, Anthony van Dyck, Henry Lawes and Giovanni Coprario. Following the execution of the King in 1649 he showed his clearly Royalist sympathies in his Psalterium Carolinum, a versification of the Eikon Basilike by Thomas Stanley, with a dedicatory poem by Henry Lawes, published in 1657.

Polo Ground, Karachi, also known as Gulshan-e-Jinnah or Bagh-i-Quaid-i-Azam (), is a park located on Dr. Ziauddin Ahmed Road and Aiwan-e-Sadar Road in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. This park is spread over 20 acres and has a football ground, Japanese garden, children's recreation area, bird aviary, and jogging tracks. A baradari is also located there. It also has two five-star hotels nearby. The ground also hosts the biggest Eid congregation in Karachi.

Although the ground is officially known as Bagh-i-Quaid-i-Azam, the former name 'Polo Ground' is still widely used by the people of Karachi.

History
Bagh-e-Quaid-e-Azam has historic significance. It was the venue of the first official march-past of the military parade in front of Pakistani political leaders after independence of Pakistan in 1947. This parade was held here and Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah took the salute here as the first Governor General of Pakistan in 1947.

The first Eid prayers were organized by the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation at the ground in 1958.

The ground sees a multitude of tape ball cricket matches being simultaneously being played in it. It is said that Hanif Mohammad and his four brothers learned the game there in the 1940s and early 1950s. This park was used as a polo ground before the 1970s.

On 26 March 2022, Administrator Karachi Murtaza Wahab inaugurated a bird aviary at the ground. The 100-foot-long and 45-foot-wide enclosure houses 315 birds, including three pairs of African and Australian parrots.
