The Twin Cities refers to the major riverside metropolitan areas of Minneapolis, Saint Paul and surrounding townships in Ramsey and Hennepin counties. In recent years, the Twin Cities has become home to a burgeoning comics scene, in the top ten for number of resident comics artists in the United States. The location of the Minneapolis College of Art and Design - one of the nation's first and only schools which offers both bachelor's and master's degrees in comic books (e.g.; 'BFA: Comic Art') - is likely a contributing factor. (See: MCAD) However, the global success of popular cartoonists like Minneapolis-born Charles M. Schulz must have paved the way.

List of artists

Peanuts Characters Sculpture Project

The Twin Cities is home to a notable outdoor sculpture project, featuring the characters from Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts comic strip. Throughout Minneapolis and Saint Paul, one can find artistic variations of Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Lucy, Woodstock and others. The first such project was called Charlie Brown Around Town, featuring large three-dimensional copies of the character Charlie Brown in a joyful pose, and painted by various residents of the Twin Cities. Other characters from the strip soon followed.

Sugar Loaf, sometimes called The Sugar Loaf, is a prominent hill in Carmarthenshire, Wales beside the A483 trunk road some  south-west of Llanwrtyd Wells. It is a popular viewpoint and picnic spot within easy reach on foot from the roadside car parks to the northeast and to the south. There is a stop on the nearby Heart of Wales Line called Sugar Loaf railway station.

The name Sugar Loaf has been applied to numerous hills which have a perceived resemblance to a sugarloaf; the nearest is the Sugar Loaf on the border between Powys and Monmouthshire.

Mendo Páez de Sorrez or Mendo Páez de Sorred or Men Páez Sorred or Mem Páez Sorred (b.  or 1180 - d. c. 1230) was a Spanish noble in the service of the Kingdom of Galicia and by default, also the Kingdom of Castile. He was the head of the House of Sorrez and is best known for founding the House of Sotomayor by initiating the population of the Valle de Soto.

Day of Birth and Death 

There is some confusion about his birth and death dates. Some sources record Mendo Páez as having  been born in 1070. This is the most likely birthdate due to his service to Alfonso VII (Reigning from 1126 to 1157) and Alfonso VIII (Reigning from 31 August 1158 – 5 October 1214) having been recorded. Other sources put his birthdate at 1180 which is essentially an impossibility given the prior records. His death day which is recorded by some sources as taking place in 1230 is also extremely unlikely.

Family Origins 

Mendo Páez Sorrez was born into the House of Sorrez of House of Sorred, a family from Galicia. He was the son of Payo Méndez de Sorrez and his Portuguese wife, Elvira Godins de Lanhoso. His paternal grandfather was Garci Méndez Sorrez and his paternal grandmother was Urraca de Ron. His maternal grandfather was Godinho Fafes de Lanhoso, Senhor de Lanhoso and his maternal grandmother was Dórdia Viegas, Senhora da Quinta de Sequeiros.

The House of Sotomayor, founded by Mendo Páez would go on to produce some of the greatest leaders throughout Spanish history. The cadet branch of the family, the House of Méndez de Sotomayor would also rise to power in the 1400s before merging with the House of Haro.

Biography 

Mendo Páez de Sorrez was recorded as being a Ricohombre in the service of King Alfonso VII of León and Castile el emperador. An award awarded to Mendo after his participation in Alonso VII's Conquest of Almería from the Moors. Mendo Páez also went on to serve King Alfonso VIII of Castile. At some point, Mendo Páez was given the mandate to populate the area of the Valle de Soto in Galicia. With this landed establishment of lordship over the Señorio de Sotomayor, Mendo Páez took the land's name as his own surname as was tradition to become Mendo Páez Sorrez de Sotomayor.

Marriage and descendants 

Mendo Páez married Inés Pérez de Ambía, the daughter of Pedro Pais de Ambia, Senhor de Lobios and head of the Portuguese House of Ambia in Galicia and his wife, Maria Ferandes Fernandes de Lima. The couple had three children:
 Teresa Méndez Sorrez de Sotomayor (b. 1310) - Married Fernán Arias de Saavedra, Head of house and X Señor de Saavedra.
 Payo Gómez Sorrez de Sotomayor - Almirante de Castilla, I Señor de Rianxo, II Señor de Sotomayor, married María de Mendoza.
 Pedro Méndez de Sotomayor - Bishop of Orense.

The government of Indonesia defines a metropolitan area as an urban agglomeration where its spatial planning is prioritised due to its highly important influence on the country. The metropolitan areas in Indonesia are managed based on Presidential Regulation (Peraturan Presiden). The national government has established 10 metropolitan areas across the country, anchored by the cities of Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, Semarang, Medan, Makassar, Palembang, Denpasar, Banjarmasin, and Manado. Despite having no official metropolitan areas recognised on national level, there are several cities whose urbanisation exceeds their city limits such as Yogyakarta, Malang, and Cirebon.

Official metropolitan areas

Built-up urban areas
The followings are the contiguous urban areas in Indonesia, with a population of over one million, according to Demographia's "World Urban Areas" study. Demographia defines an urban area (urbanised area agglomeration or urban centre) as a continuously built up land mass of urban development that is within a labor market (metropolitan area), without regard for administrative boundaries (city).

Joey, also known as Making Contact, is a 1985 West German  techno-horror-fantasy film from Centropolis Film Productions (now Centropolis Entertainment). The film was co-written and directed by Roland Emmerich.

Plot
The plot concerns a 9-year-old boy named Joey Collins who loses his father, but makes contact with what he believes is his deceased parent via a small phone and is terrorized by a ventriloquist dummy named Fletcher who is possessed by a demon. The doll summons other demons and evil forces to threaten his friends, mother, enemies, city as only Joey must go into the spirit world to destroy this evil in a battle of good vs. evil. The boy develops the power of telekinesis, which soon gets out of hand.

Cast

 Joshua Morrell as Joey Collins
 Eva Kryll as Laura Collins
 Jan Zierold as Martin
 Tammy Shields as Sally
 Barbara Klein as Haiden
 Matthias Kraus as Bernie
 Jack Angel as Fletcher The Dummy (voice)

Production
Roland Emmerich said of the production:I want to make entertaining movies fora broad audience. Germany needs a film industry again. Making 'artsy' movies may be nice for the ego, but it will not feed an industry. Entertaining the masses is the foundation, and that has been neglected here fora long time. People like Spielberg and Lucas are showing the way. Why shouldn't we go in the same direction? We can do it too, and we can do it cheaper!"

The film took a year and a half to make and Emmerich kept costs down by building his own effects studio in an abandoned factory instead of using a more expensive established effects house.In order to shoot the film in English, Emmerich recruited several of his actors from an American Military base in Germany.Completion of the film was delayed after Emmerich was dissatisfied with the initial effects work and opted to scrap the already finished effects work in order to fully redo it.

Release
Joey was released in North America as Making Contact. The North American version was heavily cut and ran 79 minutes. Despite mainly negative reviews the film was able to recoup its budget in Germany alone and generated further profits from foreign sales.Joey was subsequently released as a 2 disc DVD set featuring the original 98 minute version along with the edited North American cut. In 2016, Kino Lorber has announced a Blu-ray with a new high definition transfer and newly produced special features.

Making Contact was riffed for the 2022 Mystery Science Theater 3000 LIVE: Time Bubble Tour.

Maledetti (Maudits) is the fifth album of the jazz fusion band Area and was released in 1976. It can be considered a concept album: during the 20th century, an imaginary bank in which history is stored, loses data from the 15th century ("Evaporazione"), causing people forgetting how to govern the world. Some new hypothesis are formulated: power to old people ("Gerontocrazia"), power to women ("SCUM", which uses as lyrics a reading of a writing by Valerie Solanas, the chief of the feminist party SCUM, which stands for "Society for Cutting Up Men"), and power to children ("Giro, giro, tondo" and "Caos (parte seconda)"). "Il Massacro di Brandeburgo numero tre in Sol Maggiore" is a fragment of Johann Sebastian Bach's third Brandenburg concerto.
During the recording sessions of the album, Capiozzo and Tavolazzi left the band temporarily (noticeably they are absent on "Diforisma Urbano", "Giro, giro, tondo" and "Caos (parte seconda)") only to come back some months later. During these months in which they weren't in the band, the live album Event '76 was recorded at Milan's Università Statale. This was also the last studio album featuring Tofani on guitar.
Most of CD re-releases contain two bonus tracks: an interview with Stratos, Tofani and Fariselli after the "Event '76" concert and the "Are(A)zione" version of "L'internazionale".
From this album's tour, two posthumous concerts from 1977 were released: "Concerto Teatro Uomo" in 1996 and "Live in Torino 1977" in 2005.
