Gary Heavin (born 1955) is an American businessman from Texas. He is the founder of the fitness chain Curves International.

Career
Heavin dropped out of college at age 20 and took over a failing fitness center in Houston, Texas.  Along with his brother David, he built the business into a chain of 14 locations. He was a millionaire by age 25 but then lost it all by age 30; he filed for bankruptcy.

After his first marriage, Heavin was sentenced to jail for failure to pay child support.  While in jail he rededicated his life to Jesus Christ, and he has been outspoken about his support of anti-abortion causes.

In 2004 Heavin was named the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year.  He is also the author of several books, including Curves: Permanent Results Without Permanent Dieting and Curves On the Go.

Heavin and his second wife Diane opened their first Curves center in 1992 in Harlingen, Texas. Curves is now based in Waco, Texas.

By 2007, Curves had over 10,000 locations and was the largest fitness chain in the world. However, since selling Curves to North Castle Partners, a private equity company, more than 75% of the Curves franchises have closed. North America is now the home of approximately 600 Curves franchises.

The Heavins currently reside in Mound in central Texas.
On April 3, 2011, they were featured on ABC's show Secret Millionaire, where they gave away $410,000.

Gary and Diane Heavin have recently begun to produce politically conservative and Christian themed films. Mission Air is a Christian movie that has been available since 2013. Amerigeddon is an action adventure film that opened in 30 theaters on May 13, 2016, the plot of which surrounds the takeover of America by a UN/Globalist supported terrorist organization.

Views
Heavin was a guest on The Ron Paul Liberty Report on April 4, 2018, and has referred to himself as a "right-to-life" libertarian and is for a non-interventionist foreign policy.

In 2020, Heavin gave $10,000 to the Oath Keepers, the far-right anti-government militia organization that helped lead the 2021 United States Capitol attack.

N-(2-Hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide or HPMA is the monomer used to make the polymer poly(N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide). 

The polymer is water-soluble (highly hydrophilic), non-immunogenic and non-toxic, and resides in the blood circulation well. Thus, it is frequently used as macromolecular carrier for low molecular weight drugs (especially anti-cancer chemotherapeutic agents) to enhance therapeutic efficacy and limit side effects. Poly(HPMA)-drug conjugate preferably accumulates in tumor tissues via the passive-targeting process (or so-called EPR effect). Due to its favorable characteristics, HPMA polymers and copolymers are also commonly used to produce synthetic biocompatible medical materials such as hydrogels.

The development of pHPMA as anti-cancer drug delivery vehicles is initiated by Dr. Jindřich Kopeček and colleagues at the Czech (-oslovak) Academy of Sciences in Prague in the mid-1970s. Prior to this, it was used as a plasma expander. The Kopeček Laboratory designed and developed HPMA copolymer-drug conjugates as a lysosomal delivery vehicle to cancer cells. The concept of using pHPMA as polymeric drug carriers has opened a new perspective in modern pharmaceutical science, and developed into the first polymer-drug conjugate entering clinical trials (i.e. PK1; HPMA copolymer-doxorubicin conjugate).

The HPMA copolymers are also used as a scaffold for iBodies, polymer-based antibody mimetics.

SN Systems is a provider of Windows based development tools for games consoles and virtual reality headsets, including the PlayStation VR2, PlayStation 5, PlayStation VR, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, PlayStation, PlayStation Vita, and PSP.

The company had provided tools for the Atari ST, Amiga, Sega Saturn, Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, Super NES, Nintendo 64, GameCube, Game Boy Advance, and Nintendo DS.

History
The company was founded in 1990 by Martin Day and Andy Beveridge. Both directors have backgrounds of developing game console software development tools, such as SNASM and Psy-Q, at Cross Products and later Psygnosis.

SN Systems' long association with the PlayStation line of consoles began in 1993, when PlayStation manufacturer Sony acquired Psygnosis, who were publishing SN Systems' tools at the time. While Sony had provided MIPS R4000-based Sony NEWS workstations for PlayStation development, Psygnosis disliked the thought of developing on these expensive workstations and asked SN Systems to create a PC-based development system. At the 1994 Winter Consumer Electronics Show, Psygnosis arranged an audience for SN Systems with Sony's Japanese executives, and Sony were impressed enough with their development tools that they decided to abandon their plans for a workstation-based development system in favor of using SN Systems' development system exclusively.

In 1999, SN Systems won a Game Developer Magazine "Front Line Award" in the Programming Environment category for its Nintendo 64 development product called SN64. The company won again in 2005, this time for the ProDG for PSP suite.

SN Systems was acquired by Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc. in 2005, to provide tools for the PlayStation 3, and future consoles.

Based in Bristol, England, they have satellite offices in Campbell, California and Dublin, Ireland.

Products
Central to the SN Systems product line is the ProDG suite, comprising a compiler and integration with Microsoft Visual Studio, together with a debugger and additional build tools.

Margherita Maria Farnese (24 November 1664 – 17 June 1718) was an Italian noblewoman born into the House of Farnese. She was the Duchess of Modena and Reggio by marriage to her first cousin Francesco II d'Este, Duke of Modena. Her niece was Elisabeth Farnese, wife of Philip V of Spain.

Biography

Margherita Maria was the eldest child of Ranuccio II Farnese, Duke of Parma and his second wife Isabella d'Este. Her mother died in childbirth in 1666 after giving birth to Odoardo, Hereditary Prince of Parma (father of the famous Elisabeth Farnese, Queen of Spain).

Her father Ranuccio had previously been married to Margaret Yolande of Savoy but the marriage produced no surviving issue; as such, Margherita Maria was the first of Ranuccio's children to survive infancy. Her younger half brothers Francesco Farnese and Antonio Farnese were successively the rulers of Parma. When the latter died, the House of Farnese became extinct.

Her father married her aunt Maria d'Este with whom he had nine further children. She was married to her cousin Francesco II d'Este, Duke of Modena who had previously been part of a Franco-Modenese alliance proposed with Francesco and a princess of Lorraine named Béatrice Hiéronyme de Lorraine but the marriage never materialised.

Francesco was the son of the late Alfonso IV d'Este, Duke of Modena and Laura Martinozzi, niece of Cardinal Mazarin. He was also the brother of Mary of Modena, second wife of James II of England

She married Francesco 14 July 1692 in Parma. The couple had no children, Francesco dying in 1694 after just two years of marriage of gout and polyarthritis. The widowed Duchess of Modena retired to her native Parma where she died in the summer of 1718 at the Ducal Palace of Colorno, the summer residence of the Farnese. She was buried at the Sanctuary of Santa Maria della Steccata in Parma.

"That's My Life (My Love and My Home)" is a 1965 single by Alfred "Freddie" Lennon, the father of the musician John Lennon of the Beatles.

Background
Tony Cartwright, co-author of the song, began writing it with inspiration from Freddie Lennon's stories. It was recorded by a 30 piece orchestra which included the future members of the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Mitch Mitchell and Noel Redding. When released, the song had commercial success, with Morris Levy of Roulette Records asking Cartwright to bring Lennon to the United States. However, the song suddenly disappeared from the charts, an action suspected by Cartwright to be instigated by John Lennon. Alfred, disheartened, abandoned further attempts at a career in music.

Rudolf Hedemann (12 March 1889 – 18 November 1978) was a Norwegian politician for the Labour Party.

He was born in Stange as a son of railway foreman Reinhart Hedemann (1854-1937). He was married to Kristiane Bjørgås (1896–1964), and was the father of Knut and Reidar Hedemann. Reidar was for some time married to Berit Monsen, a sister of Per Monsen and daughter of Fredrik Monsen.

He attended railway school, and advanced through the ranks in the Norwegian State Railways as a station clerk and telegrapher. He was finally the station master of Hjellum Station from 1934 to 1950. During the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany he was arrested twice. The first time he was imprisoned from 23 to 27 March 1942. The second time he was arrested on 15 October 1944, and imprisoned in Victoria Terrasse, Åkebergveien and Berg concentration camp to the occupation's end in May 1945.

In Vang, Hedmark he chaired the school board from 1929, and was the mayor of Vang, Hedmark from 1931 to 1965. He was the county council chairman of Hedmark from 1948 to 1963 and the first county mayor of Hedmark from 1963 to 1967. He chaired the Norwegian Association of Rural Municipalities from 1946 to 1960. Hedemann was also a minor ballot candidate in parliamentary elections of 1927, 1930 and 1933 without being elected.

Hedemann was involved in the regional electricity institutions. He was a board member of Hamar, Vang og Furnes Kommunale Kraftselskap (HVF) from 1935 to 1967. In 1946 he became chair of the supervisory council in Vinstra Kraftselskap. In 1952 he became deputy chair of the supervisory council in Øvre Vinstra Kraftlag, representing HVF, but already in 1953 HVF was no longer a part of this organization. Hedemann was also a member of the local board of Vinmonopolet and a council member of the Norwegian State Housing Bank. In 1966 he was decorated as a Knight, First Class of the Order of St. Olav.

Thurø is a small Danish island in the south-east of Funen and belongs to the Svendborg municipality. Thurø is part of the South Funen Archipelago, comprising c. 55 islands altogether. The island had 3,555 inhabitants .

Connected to Svendborg proper by a small bridge, Thurø has become a popular place to live due to its quiet streets and proximity to both Svendborg and the new motorway to Odense.

Thurø is also a holiday destination, with two popular sandy beaches, three campsites and a number of houses for rent.

The sea around horseshoe-shaped Thurø is considered fine fishing-water, particularly for trout. There are several small harbours around the island and Thurøbund - the inner part of the horseshoe - is a well-known safe nature-harbour used by the sailing fraternity.

The entire island is served by a direct bus link to Svendborg city centre, from where onward routes cover the Funen region.

History 
According to legend, and as told in Saxo's Gesta Danorum (chronicles of the Danes), as well as in the Scylding Sagas, Helge (brother to Hroar, both known from the Beowolf poems) once came by this island on one of his raiding expeditions. Here, he came to the house of the elf-woman Thora ( Thurø meaning literally Thora's island -or in some legends Thor's Island), whom he raped. When he returned to the island years later, Thora sent out their daughter, Yrsa, to greet him, as revenge. He raped Yrsa, not knowing it was his own daughter, and she then had his son, Rolf Kraka, who would go on and become one of Denmark's greatest and most legendary kings.

Denmark's oldest "pacifier-tree" has been located on Thurø for 85 years. Part of Danish tradition is for children to "sacrifice" their pacifiers (dummies) at a local tree to mark their passage from infancy to childhood.

Notable people 
 Karin Michaëlis (1872-1950) a Danish journalist and author; from 1933 she took in German emigrants at her property in Thurø, including Bertolt Brecht and Marlene Norst; she is buried in Thurø cemetery 
 Laura Brun-Pedersen (1883–1961) a Danish painter of deeply coloured landscapes with human figures and animals; she lived on Thurø for 30 years
 Tom Kristensen (1893 in London – 1974 in Thurø) was a Danish poet, novelist, literary critic and journalist
 Jan Pytlick (born 1967 in Thurø) a Danish handball coach. He was head coach for the Danish women's national handball team 1998-2006 and 2007-2014
