Maurice Devereaux is a Canadian film director, screenwriter and  film producer through his production company, Maurice Devereaux Productions.

Biography
Maurice Devereaux (pronounced Morris Devro) was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and showed an interest in movies at an early age. He writes, produces, directs and edits his own films ever since he studied cinema at Ahuntsic College. Devereaux's self-description was featured on the Slashers DVD:"Mine is a typical film-geek heritage; tons of Spielberg, Lucas and comic book superheroes as a kid. Superman the Movie, Star Wars, Close Encounters, Empire and Raiders are the movies that made me want to become a movie maker. In my teens, Carpenter, Kubrick, Raimi, Coppola, Romero and Argento were a huge influence. I also learned a lot reading Starlog and Fangoria magazines. In my twenties Lynch, Von Trier, the Coens, Jodorowsky, Rohmer, Allen and Scorsese had become a big part of my cinephile diet. Gigs directing and editing commercials and music videos, co-writing, editing and assistant-directing various shorts and features for filmmaker friends kept me alive during the long years trying to complete my own features." 
After his self-financed first effort, Blood Symbol (1994), his second feature, Lady of the Lake (1998) and his follow-up, Slashers (2001), were distributed in the United States under the "Fangoria presents" label, and in the U.K., Canada, France, and Germany. He then wrote and directed PMS: Survival Tips (2003), a short film shot over a week-end, winner of the most popular film at the SPASM film festival, and a YouTube hit (December 2006) with well over 2 million viewers in just a month.

End of the Line
Devereaux's latest film, End of the Line (2007) was an official selection of the Toronto International Film Festival and won the Audience Award for Best Feature at the Dead by Dawn film festival in Scotland (2007) and the Silver Audience Award at Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal (2007). It has also appeared at many other prestigious film festivals (San Sebastien Horror and Fantasy Film Festival in Spain, Boston Underground Film Festival, Philadelphia Film Festival, Palm Springs International Film Festival, Kingston Canadian Film Festival, Nashville Film Festival, Brussels International Festival of Fantastic Film).

John S. Arrowood (born November 4, 1956) is an American attorney and judge. In April 2017, Arrowood was appointed to the North Carolina Court of Appeals by Governor Roy Cooper, to replace Judge Doug McCullough, a Republican who resigned one month before he would have reached the mandatory retirement age.

He ran for a full term on the court in 2018 and won, becoming the first openly gay person elected to a statewide office in North Carolina.

Previously, in August 2007, he was appointed to the North Carolina Court of Appeals by Governor Mike Easley, replacing Judge Eric L. Levinson, who had resigned to accept a federal appointment. Arrowood was defeated in the subsequent 2008 election.

Biography
Born in Burnsville, North Carolina, Arrowood moved to Caldwell County after the death of his parents. He graduated from Hudson High School in 1975. Arrowood graduated magna cum laude from Catawba College in 1979 and received his J.D. degree at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Law in 1982. He worked on the Court of Appeals staff and then practiced law for many years in Charlotte, North Carolina before serving as a state superior court judge from March through August 2007. Arrowood has been a member of the board of the North Carolina Railroad, the N.C. Banking Commission, the N.C. Rules Review Commission, and the N.C. Arts Council.

Since Arrowood was appointed to fill an unexpired term, his seat was on the ballot in November 2008. He was defeated for a full term by Robert N. Hunter, Jr.

He was also an unsuccessful candidate for the Court of Appeals in 2014, seeking the seat made vacant by the retirement of Judge John C. Martin. Arrowood came in second out of 19 candidates.

Arrowood is openly gay and was the first openly LGBT judge on the North Carolina Court of Appeals.

The Verdun Juniors were a junior ice hockey team in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League from 1982 to 1984. They played at the Verdun Auditorium.

History
The Verdun Juniors were assembled by general manager Eric Taylor, and coached by Pierre Creamer.  Verdun won the Presidents Trophy in the 1982-83 season as playoff champions, defeating the Trois-Rivières Draveurs, Shawinigan Cataractes and the Longueuil Chevaliers.

The Juniors would compete in the Memorial Cup that year versus the Lethbridge Broncos, Portland Winter Hawks and the Oshawa Generals. Verdun would lose 7-6 to Portland, defeat Lethbridge 4-3, lose 5-1 to Oshawa, and lose 6-5 to Oshawa in the semi-final game, ending their hopes of a Memorial Cup championship.

After two very successful seasons, the team revived its old name to become the Verdun Jr. Canadiens.

Players
Pat LaFontaine scored 104 goals and 130 assists for 234 points in the 1982-83 season, his only season in major junior hockey, winning the Jean Béliveau Trophy as the top scorer, out-dueling future NHL icon Mario Lemieux. Two of the more prominent records he broke were Guy Lafleur's 40-game point-scoring streak and Mike Bossy's 70 goals by a rookie.

He was awarded the Michel Brière Commemorative Trophy as the MVP of the regular season, the Guy Lafleur Trophy as the MVP of the playoffs, the Michel Bergeron Trophy as the Offensive Rookie of the Year, the Mike Bossy Trophy as the best professional prospect, and the Frank J. Selke Commemorative Trophy as the Most sportsmanlike player. Also in 1982-1983 Pat LaFontaine was chosen Canadian Hockey League Player of the Year. Pat would be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2003.

Also of note, is alumnus Claude Lemieux, who would play almost 1200 NHL games. He scored 379 goals, and won 4 Stanley Cups in   1986 (Montreal), 1995 (New Jersey), 1996 (Colorado) & 2000 (New Jersey).

Billy Campbell was awarded the Emile Bouchard Trophy as the Defenceman of the year in the 1983-84 season. Jérôme Carrier was awarded the Frank J. Selke Commemorative Trophy as the Most sportsmanlike player in 1983-1984.

Mohamed Hussain (born 12 October 1979), nicknamed Oittey, is a retired Maldivian professional footballer. He has been a member of the FAM Normalization Committee since 1 April 2015.

Club career
Hussain began his career at Club Eagles in 1998. Then he moved to New Radiant for the following season and played there for six years.

Hussain won the best player award of the 2003 Cup Winners' Cup, playing for New Radiant and suffered a major ligament injury during the 2003 Dhivehi League game against Island FC. The injury brought him down with continuous series of injury, which led him to stay away from football for long periods. He also underwent surgeries to recover from the knee ligament injury.

He later moved to VB Sports Club in 2007, after spending a year at Club Valencia.

During the 2011 Dhivehi League, Hussain was appointed as a player-coach for the VB Sports Club, due to coach Can Vanli and assistant coach Mohamed Shahid's abroad trips for different reasons. The only match played under his instruction was against Maziya on 11 June 2011, where he led the team for a 2–1 victory in the last minute of the game.

In the June transfer period of 2012 season, Hussain again moved to his former club New Radiant, but in 2013 he spent his last season at BG Sports Club.

International career
Hussain made his debut for the Maldives national team in 2000 and played in the Golden Jubilee Football Tournament, which was played to celebrate the 50th anniversary of football in the Maldives.

Retirement
The Football Association of Maldives announced that Hussain would retire in the 2014 Maldivian FA Charity Shield, with New Radiant's 16 number shirt. He kicked off the match and came off the field with honor, marking his retirement. The shirt he used in this match was auctioned and raised MVR 60,000. The auction was won by Aishath Inayath, and 50% of the money was gifted to Advocating the Rights of Children and the other 50% to Care Society of Maldives.

He also announced that he would proceed to coaching after his retirement.

Administrative roles
Hussain was appointed as a member of the FAM Normalization Committee by the FIFA Emergency Committee effective 1 April 2015, following the departure of the previous member Mohamed Nizam, who took over the position of head coach of TC Sports Club.

The sea-griffin (German: Fischgreif; Polish: rybogryf, gryf morski) is a heraldic charge in form of an aquatic griffin with the head, upper-half, wings, and talons of an eagle and the lower-half of a fish.

History

The symbol originates from the region of Lands of Schlawe and Stolp in Pomerania, Central Europe. It was used in the coat of arms of the Swienca family, which hold powerful offices in the area from 13th to 14th centuries. Following them dying out in around 1316, the area went back under the direct rule of the House of Griffin, which continued to use the sea-griffin in the regional coat of arms.

The sea-griffin was one of the nine charges present in the coat of arms of the Duchy of Pomerania introduced around 1530. It was a white (silver) sea-griffin facing viewer's left and placed within a red field. It was meant to represent the island of Usedom, despite it never being used as its symbol before. It is also present in the coat of arms of the Puttkamer family, which, according to some historians, is related to Swienca family, although such statement remains debated.

Today, the sea-griffin if used in various municipal coats of arms in Pomeranian and West Pomeranian Voivodeships in northern Poland. It include the cities of Darłowo, Łeba, Sianów, and Sławno, as well as the coat of arms of the counties of Sławno, and Tuchola, and the gminas (municipalities) of Gniewino, Potęgowo, Sławno, Trzebielino, and Tuchomie. It is also present in the coat of arms of commune of Trouville-la-Haule in Normandy, France.

Penstemon fruticiformis is a species of penstemon known by the common name Death Valley beardtongue. It is native to the western United States, where it is found growing in rocky scrub, woodlands, deserts and mountains of eastern California and western Nevada. It is known from scattered occurrences around Death Valley, and only one of the two varieties occurs on the Nevada side of the border. It is a perennial herb producing spreading, multibranched, hairless and waxy stems 30 to 60 centimeters tall. The thick leaves are generally lance-shaped, folded and rolled, and up to 6.5 centimeters in length. The inflorescence produces several white or pale pinkish-lavender flowers between 2 and 3 centimeters long. The mouth of the flower bears a stark, dark line on each of its three lower lobes, nectar guides for its pollinators which probably include native bumble bees.

MP3Gain is an audio normalization software tool. The tool is available on multiple platforms and is free software. It analyzes the MP3 and reversibly changes its volume. The volume can be adjusted for single files or as album where all files would have the same perceived loudness. It is an implementation of ReplayGain. In 2015 Debian and Ubuntu removed it from their repositories due to a lack of an active maintainer.

MP3Gain Technical details
MP3Gain first computes the desired gain (volume adjustment), either per track or per album, using the ReplayGain algorithm. It then modifies the overall volume scale factor in each MP3 frame, and writes undo information as a tag (in APEv2, or ID3v2 format) making this a reversible process. The scale factor modification can be reversed using the information in the added tag and the tag may be removed. MP3Gain does not introduce any digital generation loss because it does not decode and re-encode the file.

AACGain Technical details
MP3Gain is unable to change the volume on AAC or MP4 files. A mod called AACGain exists that can be used as super-set drop-in replacement in most front-ends originally created for MP3Gain. The audio file must be AAC inside a MP4 format container and not raw AAC data file.

John Mellors (15 April 1947 - 1 May 2021) was a former senior Australian public servant.  Between 1994 and 1997 he was Secretary of the Department of Administrative Services.

Life and career
Mellors was born in London, gained a degree in economics and accounting from the University of Bristol in 1968 and held academic positions at UK universities from 1969 to 1973. In 1973 he joined the staff of the European Commission in Brussels before being recruited to the Australian Public Service.  He became an Australian citizen in 1978.

Mellors was Director-General of the Victorian Department of Planning and  Urban Growth between 1988 and 1990, before taking up a position as Executive General Manager in the Corporate Branch of the Department of Administrative Services.

Between 1994 and 1997, Mellors was Secretary of the Department of Administrative Services.

Mellors served in the Australian Public Service for 22 years, but in 1997, when his department was abolished, he was given just five days' notice to leave. According to political journalist Laurie Oakes, Mellors felt angry over the Government's decision for his department, and that he and his executive staff had been wronged by the Government of the day.

Mellors subsequently worked as an international development consultant on both short- and longer -term assignments, primarily in South East Asia and the South Pacific, before retiring in 2013.

Awards
Mellors received a Centenary Medal in 2001 for service to Australian society through public service leadership.

49ers is the debut album by Italian Italo house dance act 49ers, released in 1990 on the Island record label. It features the hit singles "Touch Me" (UK No. 3, AUS No. 18), "Don't You Love Me" (UK No. 12, US No. 78, AUS No. 61) and "Girl to Girl" (UK No. 31).

Critical reception

In a retrospective review for AllMusic, Alex Henderson gave the album four out of five stars, describing most of the various singers on the album as having "big, substantial voices" and that the album's producer, Gianfranco Bortolotti, "sees to it that vocal personality is a prime ingredient of such exuberant offerings as "Girl to Girl," "Touch Me," and a remake of [Gloria] Gaynor's "I Will Survive"".
