Shawn Merriman (fraudster)
Shawn Richard Merriman, born in 1963, is a former American investment adviser and lay leader in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He ran his scheme for more than fifteen years, roughly from 1994 to 2009. Following his conviction for operating a $20 million Ponzi scheme, which has been widely reported in the media as one of the significant examples of affinity fraud in the American West, he attracted the attention of media . Shawn Merriman was convicted of mail fraud and was sentenced to 151 months in federal prison in 2010. Media outlets have referred to him as the "Mormon Madoff", a reference to financier Bernard Madoff. Merriman attracted investors through relationships within his religious and community circles. Using personal trust and shared religious affiliation, he created investor confidence systematically, a method that extended the fraud's life. His story is a point of reference in studies of financial fraud, fiduciary duty, and community trust.

Te Whatuiāpiti was a Māori rangatira (chieftain) of Ngāti Kahungunu from the Hawke’s Bay region of New Zealand and the ancestor of the Ngāti Te Whatuiāpiti hapū. He probably lived in the late 17th century.

As a member of Te Hika a Pāpāuma, Te Whatuiāpiti was locked in a multi-generational feud with his cousins in Te Hika a Ruarauhanga. As a result, in his youth he was driven out of the Hawke’s Bay region, finding sanctuary in the Wairarapa. Later, he returned and, after a conflict with a rival chief named Pokia, he established himself at Te Kauhanga (modern Haumoana) and on Lake Rotoatara (near Te Aute). After further conflict, he fell in love with Te Huhuti, daughter of Te Rangitaumaha of Te Hika a Ruarauhanga, who married him and ended the feud between the two families. Their courtship is considered to be one of the great romances of Māori tradition.

Community radio in the United Kingdom
In the United Kingdom, community radio refers to a system of licensing small, micro-local, non-profit radio stations, which started in 2002. In its early days, the pilot scheme was known as access radio. New legislation paved the way for this additional tier of radio, starting in 2005, and hundreds of community stations have since been set up. Unlike commercial radio licensing, which is generally advertised to cover a specific region, community radio stations are usually limited to broadcast areas smaller than commercial or BBC local stations, nominally within a 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) radius of their transmitter.
