Augustin Kontchou Kouomegni (born 1945) is a Cameroonian political figure who served in the government of Cameroon from 1990 to 2001. As Minister of Information and then Minister of Communication, Kontchou was a prominent and controversial figure, reviled by the opposition, during the political turmoil of the early 1990s. Later, he was Minister of State for Foreign Affairs from 1997 to 2001 and chairman of the board of directors of the University of Douala from 2005 to 2008.

Kontchou was born in Nkongsamba. He was secretary-general of the National Federation of Cameroonian Students from 1968 to 1969, and in 1988 he became president of the Cameroonian Association of Political Science. He was first appointed to the government as Minister of Information and Culture on 7 December 1990.

Following student protests in April 1991, which were broken up by force, Kontchou claimed that there were "none dead" ("zéro mort"); the opposition, challenging this claim, turned it into an anti-government slogan. He served as Minister of Information until he was appointed as Minister of Communication and Government Spokesman in the government named on April 9, 1992. He held this post during the controversial October 1992 presidential election, which was officially won by President Paul Biya, although the opposition alleged fraud. Both before and after the election, he frequently appeared on Cameroon Radio Television (CRTV) to defend Biya and criticize the opposition, although he ignored a challenge by Bernard Muna, the campaign manager for opposition candidate John Fru Ndi, to participate in a live televised debate. According to Muna, Kontchou "effectively control[led] and manipulate[d]" the media and used it to "deceive the people". When Fru Ndi was placed under house arrest amidst violence and a state of emergency in the Northwest Province in late October 1992, Kontchou said that "if [Fru Ndi] was free, it would be a danger to the entire country". Following the election, Kontchou was promoted to the rank of Minister of State, while retaining the communication portfolio, on November 27, 1992. After five years in that position, he was named Minister of State for Foreign Affairs on December 7, 1997. He served as foreign minister for over three years until he was replaced by François-Xavier Ngoubeyou in the government named on April 27, 2001.

On September 2, 2005, Kontchou was appointed as chairman of the board of directors of the University of Douala; he was installed in that post on September 13. Kontchou remained chairman of the board of directors for over three years before Biya dismissed him in late December 2008.

Staggerford is Jon Hassler's first novel, published in 1977.

Named for its setting in a quaint, mid-western small town, Staggerford is told mainly from the point of view of seasoned English teacher Miles Pruitt, a bachelor, age 35.  Employing a third-person narration sometimes omniscient, sometimes limited, the novel chronicles the daily life, memories, and insights of the competent but ironic Miles, along with those of a handful of his colleagues, friends, and students, during a single, increasingly eventful week, starting on Friday October 30 and ending on Saturday November 7. Passing references to the American Indian Movement (265) place the action firmly in the mid-1970s.  By turns poignant and humorous, the novel affectionately satirizes academia and the narrowness of American small-town life while sympathizing with the struggles and successes of a wide variety of "ordinary" people.

Hermann Schloffer (May 13, 1868 in Graz - January 21, 1937) was an Austrian surgeon.

He studied medicine at the University of Freiburg and University of Graz, where in 1892 he earned his medical doctorate. He spent several years in Prague as a surgical assistant and associate professor, and in 1903-1911 was a surgeon and professor at the University of Innsbruck.  Afterwards he was a professor at Charles University in Prague.

On March 16, 1907 Schloffer performed the first transsphenoidal surgery for removal of a pituitary adenoma at the University of Innsbruck.  Unfortunately, the patient died several weeks afterwards from a residual tumor. His name is lent to the eponymous "Schloffer tumor", described as an uncommon pseudo-tumor of the abdominal wall that usually appears several years after abdominal surgery.

In 1916 Schloffer became the first to remove a spleen for idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). His student Paul Kaznelson (1898-1959) hypothesized - in analogy with hemolytic anemia - that the excessive destruction of platelets in ITP would occur in the spleen and suggested to his tutor Schloffer to perform a splenectomy on a patient with chronic ITP. Schloffer followed Kaznelson's suggestion. Their first patient so treated showed a dramatic improvement. 

In 1933 he joined the fascist Fatherland Front in which he remained a member until his death in 1937.

Lesotho, a country in Southern Africa, is home to several languages, including Phuthi, Sesotho, Xhosa, Zulu and English, — all, except for English, belong to the Niger–Congo language family.

National and official languages 

Sesotho (or Southern Sesotho), a Southern Bantu language, is the national language of Lesotho, and is spoken by most Basotho.  It was recognized as the national language by the National and Official Languages Bill, ratified by the National Assembly of Lesotho on 12 September 1966, which also established Sesotho and English as the country's two official languages.  The country's language policy promotes bilingualism, and Chapter 1 of the Constitution of Lesotho states:

Sesotho is the first language of more than 90 percent of the population and is "used widely as a medium of communication" in day-to-day speech.  English is reserved for official interactions, such as "government and administration", although the use of Sesotho in politics, religion, and the mass media is growing.

Primary education of children takes place in Sesotho for the first four years, but English becomes the medium of instruction in the fifth year of primary school.  Competence in English is "particularly important ... for educational, political, social and economic transactions in the subcontinent" and facilitates obtaining employment within Lesotho and abroad.  Although "efforts are made to ensure that Basotho children" learn to read, speak and write English, many Basotho complete only "basic primary education [and] remain monolingual in Sesotho".

Minority and immigrant languages 

A minority of Basotho, estimated to number 248,000 , speak Zulu, one of the eleven official languages of South Africa.  Phuthi, a Nguni language closely related to Swazi, an official language of South Africa and Eswatini, is spoken by 43,000 Basotho ().  Xhosa, another Nguni language and official language of South Africa, is spoken by 18,000 people in Lesotho.  Speakers of these minority languages typically also speak Sesotho.

Afrikaans, spoken mainly in South Africa and Namibia, is an immigrant language.

Serlo  (died 1104) was a medieval abbot of Gloucester Abbey.

Serlo was a native of Normandy and became a canon at Avranches Cathedral. He then became a monk at Mont Saint-Michel, around 1067. In 1072 he became abbot of Gloucester Abbey, having been suggested for the office by Osmund. Serlo served as abbot until his death in 1104 after holding office for 33 years.

Serlo was present at King William II of England's Christmas court in 1093 which was held at Gloucester. In 1096 Serlo secured from the king a confirmation of a number of gifts to the monastery as well as the return of lands to the monastic demesne that had been held by the archbishops of York. In Orderic Vitalis' account of the death of William II, one of the monks of Gloucester had a vision that the king was going to die because God was punishing him for the royal treatment of the church. Serlo is said to have sent a knight with a letter detailing this vision to the king, which reached him just prior to the king beginning his hunting party which ended in his death on 2 August 1100. Orderic relates that on receiving the message from Serlo, the king mocked the message and rode off to his death. It is unclear if this story is actually true. Historian Emma Mason points out that if there was a plot to kill the king, it was possible that rumours of the plot were heard at Gloucester. Serlo may have hoped to ingratiate himself with the king by warning him. The fact that any correspondence does not survive is not conclusive, as correspondence of this sort was routinely destroyed after receipt. But it is also possible that Orderic made up the story for dramatic effect.

During his time in office he rebuilt the abbey's church, which had been destroyed in the rebellion of 1088. This was a large, complex building and has been called "one of the most ambitious churches built in post-Conquest England". The new church was dedicated in 1100 but burnt along with the city of Gloucester in 1102. He also revitalized the devotional life of the monastery. In his old age he made the abbey's cellarer, Odo, a coadjunct abbot.
