Robert Ballard Gilliam (1805–1870) was a North Carolina politician and judge. He was born, lived and died in Granville County. He was the son of Leslie Gilliam, the long-time sheriff of Granville.

R.B. Gilliam graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1823, in the same class with future state Treasurer Daniel W. Courts, future Chief Justice Richmond M. Pearson, and others. He then began practicing law.  Gilliam was also a member of the 1835 convention that thoroughly revised the Constitution of North Carolina.

Gilliam was elected to represent Granville County in the North Carolina General Assembly House of Commons in 1836, 1838, 1840, 1846, 1848 and 1862.  For much of his time in the House, he served as speaker of the house. In 1863, he was elevated to the state superior court bench.

In 1870, Gilliam was elected as a Conservative to the United States House of Representatives in a special election (following the resignation of John T. Deweese), but before he could take his seat, he died.

John H. Wheeler wrote of Gilliam, "As a statesman, he was a pure and patriotic; as a lawyer, he was learned and able, and his ability was only equalled by the kindly qualities of his heart. Such were the conspicuous traits of his character, which endeared him to all who knew him."

Mondo Macabro: Weird & Wonderful Cinema Around the World is a book by British author Pete Tombs, first published in the United Kingdom in 1997 by Titan Books. A follow-up to the 1994 book Immoral Tales: Sex and Horror Cinema in Europe 1956–1984 (which Tombs co-wrote with Cathal Tohill), Mondo Macabro explores cult films and "bizarre cinema from around the world".

Mondo Macabro was published in the United States in 1998 by St. Martin's Griffin. The book served as an inspiration for the 2001 Channel 4 TV programme of the same name, which Tombs wrote, produced and directed alongside Andy Starke; it also led to the establishment of Mondo Macabro, a home video label created by the duo.

Reception
Suzi Feay of The Independent noted that "As well as lurid synopses, [Mondo Macabro] has very funny picture captions".

Mark Harris of the Vancouver Sun wrote: "While Mondo Macabro is wider-ranging than Immoral Tales, it is not as good a read. At least half the chapters appear to have been hastily composed, many of the author's judgments halting, and the pages on Bollywood are frankly boring. [...] But by the time Tombs arrives in Japan, he regains his stride, for the last three chapters of Mondo Macabro show the same insouciant amorality that characterized his previous project."

The Star Tribunes Robert Armstrong wrote that Mondo Macabro "takes an entertaining look at the lurid and bizarre world of horror films, from Mexico and Brazil to Indonesia and Japan. There are super-hero ripoffs, buxom skull-masked female murderers, Japanese schoolgirls on the rampage and kung-fu-fighting gorillas. The black and white photos are revealing and the eight-page color insert of posters is hilarious."

In 2007, Brother Cleve of The Brooklyn Rail credited Tombs and Mondo Macabro as an aid to film fans in search of "something different and refreshing", writing: "Excavating offbeat film genres from Malaysia to Turkey to Mexico and beyond, Tombs' research helped stock the shelves at the more enterprising video shops around."

City of God () is a 1997 semi-autobiographical novel by Paulo Lins, about three young men and their lives in Cidade de Deus, a favela in Western Rio de Janeiro where Lins grew up. It is the only novel by Lins that has been published. It took Lins 8 years to complete the book. The novel was hailed by critics as one of the greatest works of contemporary Brazilian literature.

It was made into a feature film of the same name in 2002, which went on to be nominated for four Oscars. An English translation of the book was published in 2006. Thanks to the international recognition of the film, the book continued to be translated into several more languages, including Italian, French, Spanish and German.

Title
The book is named after the favela in which the novel takes place, Cidade de Deus. Cidade de Deus was established in 1960 in the western zone of Rio de Janeiro as part of a government strategy to systematically move favelas away from the city centre and relocate inhabitants to the suburbs.

Synopsis
City of God is set in a city renowned for its natural beauty. The novel follows the lives of gangsters and petty criminals living in the favela. The novel is set from the 1960s through to the 1980s. In the beginning, delinquents make money  through hold-ups. In the 1970s, cocaine arrives and takes its place in  the criminals' lives, both dealing and consuming vast amounts. Drug lords use their wealth to buy guns, which give them more power. Conflicts over who controls the drug trade in the favela result in gang wars. Written laws do not apply; power is held by criminals and drug lords who rule the favela. The poorly paid police monitor the gangs, not for the sake of public safety, but to ensure their corrupt income from the gangs.

The 429th Air Refueling Squadron is an inactive United States Air Force unit. It was last assigned to the 4505th Air Refueling Wing at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia, where it was inactivated on 8 October 1963.

History
The squadron was activated in 1954 by Tactical Air Command (TAC) to provide a dedicated air refueling capability, initially for F-100 Super Sabres and later for other air refueling capable TAC fighter and fighter bombers. The 429th was initially equipped with Boeing KB-29M Superfortresses, modified bombers equipped with a British-developed hose air refueling systems and transferred from Strategic Air Command (SAC).

The 429th retired its KB-29s by November 1957, and was fully equipped with Boeing KB-50 tankers by the end of the year. These were existing B-50A, B-50D or RB-50 aircraft, with armament removed and equipped with a probe and drogue refueling system installed by Hayes Aircraft Corporation and capable of refueling three fighters at the same time. Even before the change to KB-50s was complete, in September 1957, the 429th sent the first KB-50 in the Air Force to be modified to KB-50J configuration. These tankers added a General Electric J47 turbojet engine underneath each wing to increase the speed and altitude capability of the aircraft.

The unit's KB-50Js proved difficult to maintain to meet operational commitments, and modification of the aircraft to improve them would not be economical in view of their expected service life. Although TAC wanted to replace them with Boeing KC-135 Stratotankers, in 1960 the Air Force announced that Strategic Air Command (SAC) would become the Air Force's single manager for air refueling. TAC's KB-50s would be phased out by 1964, while SAC would acquire additional KC-135s to support TAC. In October 1963, the 429th inactivated, and its KB-50Js were sent to the Military Aircraft Storage and Disposition Center at Davis–Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona.

Lineage
 Constituted as the 429th Air Refueling Squadron, Fighter-Bomber on 1 July 1954
 Activated on 19 July 1954
 Redesignated as 429th Air Refueling Squadron, Tactical on 1 July 1958

Mick Collins (born December 18, 1965) is a musician from Detroit, Michigan.

Biography 
Collins first got exposure to early rock and roll music through his family's record collection. Also, living in Detroit, he was surrounded by Motown records, which provided influence.

Collins first played in a band called the U-Boats in 1981 and then in the Floor Tasters from 1984 to 1985. In 1986, the 20-year-old Collins helped form the seminal garage punk band, The Gories. The band featured Collins on guitar, Dan Kroha (later of the Demolition Doll Rods) on guitar, and Peg O'Neil on the drums. After three albums and five singles the band broke up after a 1992 European tour.

Collins next worked in a basic garage rock band, Blacktop, from 1994 to 1996. After the demise of Blacktop, Collins helped form the King Sound Quartet, which had one single in 1996 and one album, The Get Down Imperative, in 1997.

Collins then focused on another of his projects, the wide-ranging, musically eclectic Dirtbombs. The Dirtbombs had a changing shift of musicians behind Collins on guitar, but since 2004 has had a steady lineup. Throughout, the band has consisted of a 2-drum, 2-bass set-up behind Collins' guitar work.

In addition to the Dirtbombs, Collins has played in the Screws, an eclectic punk band that has released two albums since 1999 and has appeared on several compilations, and the Voltaire Brothers, a funk project that issued a 2002 album, I Sing The Booty Electric.  He's also done solo work (including issuing a split 7-inch vinyl with Lorrette Velvette for the film Wayne County Ramblin''' in which Collins has a role), produced scores of other artists' music (including Andre Williams), DJ's, and does vocals for yet another long-time side project, Man Ray, Man Ray.

Collins was the host of Night Train, a Saturday night show on WDET, Detroit Public Radio. The program featured four thematic "journeys" through music. The first edition premiered on June 3, 2006, and included musical journeys of Motown soul legends Junior Walker & The All-Stars, Jazz artist Joe Williams, 1950s rock 'n roll star Fats Domino, and 1980s Detroit garage band The Hysteric Narcotics. The show was canceled in spring 2007 after WDET scrapped its music programming.

Collins was the producer of the CD "Drop Dead" by Figures of Light, which was recorded in Brooklyn, New York at Mitro's Studios June 2011, featuring fifteen new tracks from the group. It was released on vinyl by Norton Records on November 13, 2011; the remastered CD version was released on May 18, 2012.

Collins is a noted fan and collector of furry comics. The Dirtbombs song "Burnt to Cinders" is "dedicated to furry fandom" and its parent album Horndog Fest'' features artwork by furry artist Joe Rosales.
