Korean Reinsurance Company (commonly known as Korean Re) is a reinsurance company based in Seoul, South Korea. Korean Re ranks as the world's 10th largest reinsurer in terms of gross written premiums.

History
Founded in 1963 as a state-funded enterprise, Korean Re was privatized in 1978.

In October 2002, it was nominated as 'Reinsurance Company of the Year' by Asia Insurance Review. In May 2010, Korean Re was selected as "Emerging Market Player of the Year" by Reinsurance Magazine.

Business
Korean Re has a diversified underwriting portfolio that consists of personal business (long-term, motor, and life reinsurance) and commercial lines (property, marine, casualty, and bond reinsurance). Over the last decade, Korean Re has expanded into overseas markets. As of 2015, more than 22% of its gross written premiums were generated from abroad. Korean Re has a network of one branch office in Singapore, two subsidiaries in Hong Kong and London, and five international liaison offices.

Korean Re's gross written premiums for 2015 increased by 6.6% USD 5,580.2 million, recovering from the slowing trend over the previous two years. This growth was driven by an increase in personal lines, such as long term and life insurance. A strong rebound in premium income from overseas property and casualty treaties also bolstered the overall top-line growth. Korean Re expected to see its net profit for 2016 hit a new high on growing demand for its reinsurance packages from top insurance companies.

Korean Re has been seeing an increase in the number of new contracts with top insurers after Standard & Poor's raised its credit rating by one notch to A from A− in 2014. S&P hiked the rating two years ago when Korean Re successfully increased capital by issuing $200 million worth hybrid securities for the first time.

Eastern Townships Bank was founded in 1859 by Colonel Benjamin Pomroy (1800–1875). It was the first financial institution in the south-east of Quebec, an area known as the Eastern Townships, and issued its own banknotes.

Within a year after its founding, the bank had opened three branches. After consolidating its presence in the Eastern Townships, it opened branches elsewhere in Quebec and in Western Canada (including Grand Forks, British Columbia and Taber, Alberta). By 1911, it had over 100 branches. To increase its presence on a national scale, its shareholders agreed to merge, effective March 1, 1912, with the Canadian Bank of Commerce, which later became Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.

The former branch of the Eastern Townships Bank at the corner of Saint Catherine Street and Crescent Street in Montreal was used as the flagship store for Parasuco, a line of denim clothing. The building is now vacant.

The former head office building of the Eastern Townships Bank in Sherbrooke, Quebec is now an art museum, the Musée des beaux-arts de Sherbrooke.

Professor Allen Dalzell MD FRSE (1821–1869) was a Scottish chemist and pharmacologist. He was Professor of Chemistry and Materia Medica at the Dick Veterinary College in Edinburgh.

Life

He was born in Madras in India in 1821 to a father in the Indian Army. He trained as a doctor and followed in his father in serving in the army until 1846.

He came to Edinburgh prior to 1852, where his family roots were. In that year he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, which was an impressive task as a "newcomer" to the city. His proposer was James Dalmahoy. In 1853 the University of Edinburgh granted him a doctorate (MD) but it is unclear if this is where his original medical training took place. From 1853 he began taking on educational roles at firstly the University of Edinburgh then in 1855 added lecturing at the newly founded Dick Vet School, then in the New Town alongside its founder, William Dick.

In 1860 he is listed as resigning from the Edinburgh Rifle Volunteer Corps where he served alongside Robert Christison who acted as their Captain.

He lived in rooms at the college on Clyde Street.

In January 1869 he and William Williams were sued by former colleague John Adam McBride, leading to a great feeling of ill-will in the college. Whilst sued for £5000 the court, whilst finding slander to be proven, agreed a sum of £500. This action, to which Dalzell was only very tangentially connected, appeared to take a toll upon his health, especially as the judges opened the possibility for a retrial.

He died on 29 July 1869 and is buried beneath a small obelisk in Dean Cemetery on the west side of the city. The grave lies to the west side of the original cemetery in a section facing the pyramid on "Lords Row".

Family

He was married to Martha D'Arcy (d.1889).

Trivia

Records indicate that he purchased his laboratory equipment from James Dewar.

Bastien Vivès (born 11 February 1984) is a French comic book artist.

Life and career
Born in Paris, Vivès spent his childhood drawing with his younger brother. He took live model classes from the age of 10 years. Vivès studied Applied arts at the Institut Sainte Geneviève Paris (6th) and three years at the Penninghen School of Graphic Arts in Paris and eventually Gobelins School, still in Paris, where he studied animation.

He achieved success first on the internet in 2002 on his BK Crew website under the pseudonym "Chanmax" with the character and comic strips of "Poungi la Racaille", which became viral, and was published in libraries in 2006 by Danger Public.

His first album, Elle(s), published in 2007 by Casterman under the KSTR label and when he was 25 years old, in January 2009, Vivès received the Angoulême Festival Revelation Award for his album A Taste of Chlorine (Le goût du chlore). In France, he became considered as one of the most promising and successful comic artist of his generation.

In 2010 and 2011, he participated of the online drama Les Autres Gens, written by Thomas Cadène, drawing seven episodes.

In 2013, he published the "French manga" series Lastman, together with Michaël Sanlaville and Balak.

In 2021, his graphic novel Une sœur was adapted by Charlotte Le Bon into the theatrical feature film Falcon Lake, which is slated to premiere at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival.

In 2022, in the wake of the 50th anniversary of the International Festival of Angouleme, an exhibition featuring exclusive new illustrations by the artist (and no old ones) was programmed. Several petitions were launched to oppose this decision, claiming the Festival was putting in the spotlight an artist whose work was, if not encouraging, displaying incestuous and pedophile images and scenes. Criticisms had already been made in 2011, and again in 2018, particularly following the publication of his album Petit Paul. Old interviews and social media posts resurfaced, and Vivès was accused of promoting rape culture.  The festival mentioned threats and intimidation as the reason for cancelling the exhibit.

It had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 20, 2017. It was released on December 1, 2017, by Samuel Goldwyn Films.

Premise 
A recently executed murderer's soul possesses and inspires an ensemble of psychopathic killers to attack the city of Los Angeles over the course of one night, crossing each others' paths along the way.

Cast 
 Ashley Bell as an escaped mental patient
 Angela Trimbur as a torturer who targets men
 Mark Kassen
 Ivana Shein
 James Landry Hébert as a strangler
 Jeremy Gardner as a psychopathic cop
 Helen Rogers as a housewife
 Larry Fessenden

Production 
Shooting began on February 15, 2016 and concluded by March 2016.  In April, Keating reported that he was editing the film.

Release 
Psychopaths premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 20, 2017. Shortly after, Samuel Goldwyn Films acquired distribution rights to the film. It is scheduled to be released on December 1, 2017.

Reception 
Although praising Keating's ability to avoid retreading previous films, Brad Miska of Bloody Disgusting criticized the lack of characterization and called Psychopaths "a beautiful work of art that's void of any real meaning".  Miska highlighted Trimbur's character and said she should have been the focus of the film.  Michael Gingold of Rue Morgue described the film as a homage to Keating's directorial influences.  Commenting on the acting, Gingold wrote, "More than just a technical exercise, Psychopaths is also a showcase for several different styles of unhinged acting, which is what truly holds the attention."  Gingold concluded with the hope that Bell and Keating will continue collaborating.

This is a worldwide list of horse-drawn railways, an early form of rail transport that utilised horses and other similar animals to pull rail cars. Horses were also used for shunting.

Examples

Before 1800

Horses were used to pull railways in funiculars and coal mines as early as early 16th century. The earliest recorded example is the Reisszug, a. inclined railway dating to 1515. Almost all of the mines built in 16th and 17th century used horse-drawn railways as their only mode of transport.

Race summary 

Due to the speedy track, no riders managed to break away from the pack and about 20 riders were still in contention for the title going into the final lap. One of the favourites, Lars Boom, managed to break away at the beginning of the last lap and stayed away, riding to his first World Championship title in the Men's Elite category. Sven Nys, Zdeněk Štybar and Erwin Vervecken came within 4 seconds of closing the gap again, but never succeeded. At the finish line, Štybar outsprinted Nys to take the silver, Vervecken finished fourth. Boom was the first non-Belgian winner since Richard Groenendaal in 2000.

Other favourites Francis Mourey and Bart Wellens crashed heavily in the sixth lap. Mourey abandoned the race, Wellens finished but was unable to recover fully and get back into the leading group.

Ranking 

2 riders, Francis Mourey and Maarten Nijland abandoned the race.
