The Montreal Metropolitan Commission (known in French as the Commission métropolitaine de Montréal) was an authority that was involved in municipal affairs affecting the urbanized part of the Island of Montreal.

History
When four municipalities (Montreal North, Saint-Michel, Pointe-aux-Trembles, and Laval-de-Montréal) were approaching bankruptcy, they requested annexation by the City of Montreal. Montreal, then experiencing a budgetary crisis arising from its annexation of Maisonneuve in 1918, refused to consider this request, unless it annexed the more wealthy municipalities on the Island of Montreal at the same time. As a compromise, the Quebec government established the Island of Montreal Metropolitan Commission in 1921, which was renamed as the Montreal Metropolitan Commission in the following year. The territory over which the Commission had jurisdiction was known as the Metropolitan District.

The Commission existed until 1959, when it was replaced by the Montreal Metropolitan Corporation (in French, Corporation du Montréal métropolitain), which was abolished in 1969 on the creation of the Montreal Urban Community.

Composition
The Commission consisted of 15 members appointed from the following bodies:

The following served as chairman of the Commission during its existence:

Functions
Except for the City of Montreal, no member municipality could issue bonds or contract non-temporary loans without the Commission's approval. Any municipality failing to meet its obligations could have its financial affairs taken over by the Commission, and all solvent municipalities were liable for the interest of the debts of the insolvent municipalities. In 1953, the Commission's powers were enlarged to include expropriation.

Extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Montreal
In 1935, the City of Montreal acquired the power to impose sales tax and income tax in the City as well as in the other municipalities under the control of the Commission, and bylaws came into effect on 1 May 1935 for:

 a 2% sales tax on all sales taking place in the specified territory, or on goods being delivered to a person who resides or has a place of business in it, which was the first retail sales tax to be imposed in Canada.
 income tax on every individual having his residence, domicile, or place of business in the specified territory, which was set at 20% of the individual's liability for federal income tax for the previous taxation year.

The amounts raised (net of administrative costs) were shared pro rata with the other municipalities within the Commission's territory.

The imposition of sales tax would continue until 1964 (when the province would take over the field), and the municipal income tax would be abolished with the implementation of the Wartime Tax Rental Agreements of 1941.

Jon Platt is an American music-publishing executive and a former DJ. He is Chairman and CEO of Sony Music Publishing after having spent 17 years at EMI Music Publishing.

Early life
Although he was born in Philadelphia, Platt considers Denver his hometown; his childhood bounced him from Park Hill to Aurora before he landed firmly in Montbello, where he grew up from the time he was in the fifth grade. He and several siblings were raised there by his mother, who worked security at Rocky Flats to support her family.

Career

DJ
While working at a Dave Cook sporting goods store in Aurora, Platt met a friend who taught him DJing. From 1985 to 1989, he DJed at Norman's Place, building an audience for himself through word of mouth. He then founded his own party event at a ballroom in a Quality Inn, which was profitable. However, a murder took place at Platt's 26th birthday party in 1990, and the negative press that followed brought that run to an end. A friend convinced him to rebuild, and he successfully got a following going again, drawing patrons to the club Maximilian's.

Management
Platt credits a conversation in Denver with Public Enemy's front man, Chuck D, as main inspiration for wanting to be more than a local DJ. He decided to become a manager and relocated to Los Angeles where he was introduced to Madukey Productions by a friend. He secured the crew a remix to 2Pac's single "Keep Ya Head Up" and brokered a publishing deal with EMI for both Madukey and producer Kiyamma Griffin, thereby establishing a relationship with Steve Prudhomme, a creative manager at EMI.

Publishing
In 1995, Prudhomme left EMI to join Warner Bros. and he recommended his former employer to hire Platt as the creative manager. It didn't take long until he made noise by acquiring the publishing rights to TLC's single "Waterfalls," one of the biggest crossover hits of the mid '90s. He quickly climbed the corporate ladder becoming the creative-director after a year and vice president a year later. He also successfully recruited Jay-Z to EMI after the release of his classic debut-album, Reasonable Doubt, in '96.

In 2012, Platt left his position as vice president at EMI for Warner/Chappell Music where he was named President.

In 2015, Platt was named CEO of Warner Chappell Music.

In 2019, Platt joined Sony/ATV Music Publishing as Chairman and CEO.

Li Sixun (651–716 ) was a Chinese noble and painter of landscapes who lived during the Tang dynasty. According to Encyclopædia Britannica, he is considered by Dong Qichang to be the founder of the Northern school of landscape painting.

As a member of the royal family, he had the honorary title of general. His son Li Zhaodao was also a painter and so the father is distinguished as General Li Senior or the Elder.

He used brightly coloured mineral pigments, especially azurite blue and malachite green. His technique was meticulous and detailed so that large works such as murals might take months to complete.

Baroness Sylvie von Ziegesar (21 June 1785 – 13 February 1858) was a German noblewoman active in the intellectual circles of Weimar Classicism. She was a friend of the painter Louise Seidler and the intellectual Pauline Gotter, and was also the subject of Goethe's poem "To Sylvie von Ziegesar".

Life
Born on her family's estate in Drackendorf near Jena, Germany on June 21, 1785, Sylvie von Ziegesar was a daughter of Baron August Friedrich Carl von Ziegesar, a privy councilor of Gotha, and Baroness Magdalene Auguste von Ziegesar. Her siblings were: Friederike Amalie Charlotte Ernestine Auguste (1769–1825); Ernst Carl (1771–1796); Juliane Luise Cäcilie (1773–1831); Charlotte Louise Auguste (1775–1837); Freiherr Friedrich (1779–1832); and Anton (1783-1843).

According to researchers at the British Library, Sylvie von Ziegesar was well acquainted with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe:

Goethe was accustomed to stay with his friends, the Ziegesar family, in Drackendorf, an area of Jena just below the Lobdeburg, and the ruins were a favourite destination for walks with the young daughter of the house, Sylvie von Ziegesar, one walk in particular delighting him so much that he celebrated by composing the poem "Bergschloss"  in 1802.

According to a 2014 Thüringer Allgemeine article, "In Drackendorf erlebte Goethe glückliche Stunden und späte Liebe" ("In Drackendorf Goethe experienced happy hours and late love"), their relationship was much closer. Goethe stayed at the Ziegesar's home more than 30 times and had fallen in love with Sylvie as early as 1802. In a note penned to her nephew, she stated, "Goethe wrote this ['Bergschloss'] in my corner table at my sewing table for me."

Quách Bốc (郭卜, ?-?) was a Vietnamese general during the Lý dynasty. He led a revolt that ousted emperor Lý Cao Tông in 1209.

Uprising

Cause
As a subordinate of Phạm Bỉnh Di, just after being informed that Bỉnh Di was killed, Quách Bốc led his army battering the Đại Thanh Gate of the citadel down to save his governor. Two brothers, Phạm Du and Phạm Kinh, killed both Bỉnh Di and his son and then escaped out of the citadel with Cao Tông.

Occupying citadel
Quách Bốc occupied the citadel and subsequently enthroned the young prince Lý Thẩm. Cao Tông fled to Tam Nông, Phú Thọ and lodged at the residence of Hà Vạn, who was a minority leader holding a potential force. The Crown Prince Sảm, who later became the succeeding king Lý Huệ Tông, fled to Hải Ấp, Thái Bình with his mother, Noble Consort Đoàn and his two younger sisters. Sảm lodged at the residence of Trần Lý, who was also an indigenous squire. Sảm married Trần Thị Dung, who was Trần Lý's daughter. Then he conferred the title Minh Tự on Trần Lý and the title Commander of Anterior Citadel (a title also held by Lý Thái Tổ during the time he was an official of Anterior Le Dynasty) on the brother-in-law of Trần Lý named Tô Trung Từ. They recruited soldiers from the surrounding and managed to initiate a conflict against Quách Bốc. 

Informed that Lý Sảm had established his own court and arbitrarily conferred titles on various individuals, Cao Tông was annoyed and wanted to suppress his military power. He sent Phạm Du to associate with Đoàn Thượng, but Du intrigued with the Princess Thiên Cực and missed the meeting with Đoàn Thượng. When fulfilling another meeting, and crossing over Ma Lãng, he was killed by the army of the landlord of Bắc Giang.

Unknown fate
Trần Lý and Tô Trung Tự led their army back to the capital to defeat Quách Bốc. At the end of 1209, the rebellion was suppressed, Trần Lý was killed in the battle, and Tô Trung Từ sent an army to bring Cao Tông back. Because Phạm Du died and Tô Trung Từ held almost total power over the court, Cao Tông had to lean toward him. Đàm Dĩ Mông although quisling with Quách Bốc when he occupied the citadel but eventually was accepted to be the Thái úy – a rather high official.

There are no documents indicating the endings of the lives of Quách Bốc and Lý Thầm.

Daniel Friedmann (, born 17 April 1936) is a former professor at and dean of the Tel Aviv University Faculty of Law. He served as the Minister of Justice of Israel from 2007 to 2009, having been appointed by then-Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. He was sworn in on February 7, 2007, succeeding Tzipi Livni. In 2009 he was succeeded by Ya'akov Ne'eman.

Early life
Friedmann was born in Mandatory Palestine into a family that has lived there for seven generations. He attended the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Harvard Law School, receiving a doctorate from the former.

Academic career
Friedmann was previously a professor of law at Tel Aviv University in the 1960s and 70s, including a stint as dean of the faculty of law there between 1974 and 1978. He subsequently taught law in the United States at Harvard, Penn, and Fordham, and in the United Kingdom at Queen Mary, University of London.

Friedmann has authored numerous legal articles and treatises in Hebrew and English.

Awards and honours
Friedmann is the recipient of several Israeli and international awards, including the Zeltner Prize (awarded to an outstanding jurist), the Sussman Prize, the Minkoff Prize, and the Israel Prize, in 1991, for law.

Politics and government
Friedman had been a member of the now-defunct Democratic Movement for Change party, and later appeared at the symbolic 120th place on the Knesset electoral list of one of its successor parties, Shinui, in the 2003 elections.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert appointed Friedmann as the Minister of Justice on February 6, 2007. He was confirmed by the Cabinet unanimously and by the Knesset (50-24-1) on February 7. He was sworn in the same day.

The initial reaction to appointment was mixed, but the commentators agree that Friedmann is strongly critical of the Israeli Judiciary. In the past Friedmann has declared a preference for reforming the system by which justices are appointed to the Israeli Supreme Court.
