William A. Mathews (1800–1856) was a 19th-century Texas colonist, soldier, courier and quartermaster in the Texas Revolution.

Early life and family
Mathews sometimes spelled Matthews, was born in Vermont in 1800. At the age of seventeen, he would join with Green DeWitt at Missouri. In 1824, he would assist DeWitt when traveling to Texas, bringing in families and settling near Gonzales, Texas. Mathews married Naomi Dewitt, a daughter of Green DeWitt and they had one son. Mathews became a prominent citizen of Gonzales, rendering aid to all settlers of the colony. His wife died early and in 1838 he married Nancy King, a daughter of John G. King. They had two children.

Career in Texas
Mathews would aid in the colonization of the DeWitt Colony. He would contract with DeWitt, who was encountering difficulties filling his obligations with the Mexican government in bringing 400 families to Texas. Mathews was contracted to bring 20 families into the DeWitt Colony from Tennessee. Mathews would guide the group to Texas, seeing to procure their supplies and other needs. Once entering Texas he would assure that they would receive their land grants. He acquired much land for himself, thus becoming a farmer and cattle rancher of the region.

Texas Revolution
On February 4, 1836, William A. Mathews was named along with Mathew Caldwell and Byrd Lockhart as commissioners to raise a group of volunteers in Gonzales for a ranging company. On February 23, a 23 member Gonzales Ranging Company of Mounted Volunteers were mustered into service. During the Texas Revolution, he would participate as a volunteer soldier, courier and quartermaster.

In 1837-1838, he would serve with Byrd Lockhart's company, as a scout for the Republic.

William A. Matthews died in 1856 and was buried on the east side of the Masonic cemetery in Gonzales.

Legacy
In 1962, a historical grave marker was placed in the Gonzales Masonic Cemetery, honoring his service to Texas.

The Supreme Council for the Restoration of Democracy (French: Conseil suprême pour la Restauration de la Démocratie, or CSRD), led by Salou Djibo, was a military junta that staged a coup in Niger on 18 February 2010, deposing President Mamadou Tandja in response to Tandja's attempts to remain in office after his term was over. The CSRD stated that its objective is to make Niger an example of "democracy and good governance."

During the two days following the coup, thousands of people demonstrated in the streets to support the military government and its stated intention of installing democracy. The junta scheduled a referendum later that year to ask the public whether the junta should hand over power within the year, which passed successfully. As stipulated by the referendum, the junta scheduled free and fair elections for 2011, in which former opposition leader Mahamadou Issoufou was elected president, and returned control of the government.

Members
 Col. Salou Djibo, Chairman
 Col. Djibrilla Hima Hamidou, had been spokesman in the 1999 coup
 Col. Goukoye Abdul Karimou, junta spokesman
 Col. Adamou Harouna, aide-de-camp of 1999 coup leader Maj. Daouda Mallam Wanke.

Actions
The CSRD suspended Niger's constitution and dissolved all state institutions. It placed President Mamadou Tandja in captivity at a military barracks on 18 February 2010. On 2 March 2010, the CSRD announced the interim government of Niger—which included three generals with ties to Tandja—and reiterated their promise to return to democracy. They have also announced that CSRD members and politicians from the interim government will not stand in elections.

Referendum and elections in 2010–11
In late 2010 the Supreme Council for the Restoration of Democracy organized a constitutional referendum. In early 2011, a parliamentary election and a presidential election were held in Niger. Former opposition leader Mahamadou Issoufou was elected as president, and the CSRD peacefully transferred power soon after.

is a style of Karate, based on Tani-ha Shitō-ryū, a branch of Shitō-ryū developed by Chōjirō Tani in the late 1940s, and refined by his students, including Yamada Haruyoshi and Kimura Shigeru.

History
Chōjirō Tani (谷 長治郎 Tani Chōjirō) was born in 1921, and started his formal karate training under Miyagi Chōjun, who founded the Gojū-ryū style, while a student at the Doshisha University in Kyoto. After a few months, Miyagi Chōjun returned to Okinawa and the founder of Shitō-ryū, and recommended Mabuni Kenwa to Tani Chōjirō to carry on his learning.  Upon graduating from university, Tani began learning Shuri-te and then Shitō-ryū from Mabuni as well. After many years of training under Mabuni and becoming one of his most senior students, Tani received the certificate of succession from him and became the head of Shitō-ryū, enabling him to use the name Tani-ha Shitoryu.

Chōjirō Tani began teaching the Karate style Shūkōkai (meaning the way for all) at a dojo in Kobe, Japan, in 1946. Shūkōkai was designed around the study of body mechanics, is very fast due to its relatively high stance aiding mobility, and is known for the double hip twist, which maximises the force of its strikes; making it one of the most hard-hitting Karate styles.

One of Tani's most senior students, Sensei Shigeru Kimura, left Japan in 1965 to teach Shūkōkai in Africa.  He developed Shukokai even further, emphasizing its power and strength; and was regarded as an expert on the style.  He continued to teach after travelling to Europe, before settling in the United States in 1970 at the age of 29, where he taught at Yonezuka's Cranford dojo for two years; creating the first Shukokai World Tournament in 1981.  Sensei Kimura died of a heart attack at the age of 54.  Tani died on 11 January 1998.

Branches
Shūkōkai has evolved into several independent style branches throughout the world over the past few decades:
 Kimura Shukokai grew out of the Shūkōkai school taught since 1978 in Hackensack, New Jersey, United States and later in Tenafly, New Jersey by Shigeru Kimura, a long time student of Tani. After Kimura's death in 1995, this international organization was formed to promote his style, co-led by his four senior students: Eddie Daniels, head of Shukokai Karate Federation, Bill Bressaw, head of American Shukokai Karate Union, Chris Thompson and Lionel Marinus of South Africa.
 Sankukai, founded in 1971 in Paris, France, by Yoshinao Nanbu, a student of Chōjirō Tani. Yoshinao Nanbu abandoned the style to create Nanbudō in 1978, and Sankukai is currently taught by several national organizations throughout the world.
 Kawata-ha Seikukai Karate founded in Kawanishi, Hyōgo, Japan after the death of Chōjirō Tani in 1998 by Kawata Shigemasa, his most senior student

Porcelli v Strathclyde Regional Council [1986] ICR 564 is a UK labour law case concerning sex discrimination.

Facts
Some male co-workers at Strathclyde Regional Council made sexually abusive comments to a Ms Porcelli. Employers are under a duty of care for their employees, so the law deems them to be vicariously liable for the other employees. Ms Porcelli sued the council for sexual discrimination. The council argued that really, the comments were not about sex discrimination, and although they used certain sexually charged terms, really it was just general abuse because they did not like her.

Judgment
Lord Emmerslie held that even though the abuse was motivated by not liking her rather than being sexist, it was still different treatment on grounds of sex (this was before a self-standing harassment provision). The sexual language was a "sexual sword", and therefore had to be included in the scope of the provisions combatting sex discrimination.

Vodka eyeballing is the practice of consuming vodka by pouring it into the eye sockets, where it is absorbed through the mucous membranes of the region into the bloodstream. Reports of this practice as a new fad surfaced in the media beginning in 2010, as hundreds of clips of persons purporting to engage in the practice were posted on YouTube. The practice is promoted by advocates as causing rapid intoxication, but the amount of alcohol absorbed by the eye is low.

Some observers maintained that the phenomenon was not a real craze, describing the coverage as a media feeding frenzy and part of "a long history of trend pieces that come out of nowhere". The initial press coverage in British tabloid The Daily Mail was criticized for basing its entire story on an injury from a single student stunt, and extrapolating this into a "trend" after a YouTube search showed hundreds of similar videos. Journalist Michael Strangelove said that the videos, which date back to 2006, seemed genuine and should not be dismissed as a deceptive "prank" against the media.

The 2000 comedy film Kevin & Perry Go Large includes a character called Eyeball Paul who engages in the practice.

The practice formed part of the fictional plot of the February 6, 2013 episode of the Canadian TV series Trauma, leading to a young woman receiving (successful) cornea transplants.

Adverse effects
Vodka eyeballing can cause corneal abrasions and scarring, promote angiogenesis in the eye (and thereby cause loss of vision), and increase the risk for eye infections, and has been condemned by the American Academy of Ophthalmology.
