Montt Mardié (born David Olof Peter Pagmar on September 16, 1983) is a Swedish singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and composer. As of November 2007, Montt Mardié has released two full length albums as well as various singles under the Swedish record label Hybris. His first released studio album was Drama (Montt Mardié album) in 2005.
The World Boxing Hall of Fame (WBHF) is located in Riverside, California, United States, in Southern California. The WBHF is one of two recognized international boxing hall of fames, with the other being the International Boxing Hall of Fame (IBHOF), with the IBHOF being the more widely recognized institution.
The WBHF was founded by Everett L. Sanders in 1980. Since its inception the WBHOF has never had a permanent location or museum, which has allowed the more recent IBHOF to garner more publicity and prestige. Recently (2005) however, the WBHOF partnered with the 121-year-old Los Angeles Athletic Club in downtown Los Angeles, where it will establish its permanent home. It plans to open a "Walk of Fame" museum in early 2006.
Its annual ceremony is usually held every October. Inductees traditionally received a plaque and a medallion, as well as miscellaneous mementoes. Starting in 2004, a 12-inch tall bronze sculpture, entitled "The Prizefighter", designed by artist and boxing trainer Steven Harpst, is given to each inductee, along with the medallion. A souvenir program is given to all attendees.
Professional boxers have to wait five years after retirement to be eligible for election into the Hall of Fame.

Billy Soose (August 2, 1915 - September 5, 1998) was an American boxer who won the world middleweight championship in 1941.
After a collegiate boxing career, Soose became a professional boxer in 1938. That same year he met Charley Burley, defeated Soose by a unanimous decision. In 1940 Soose defeated two future middleweight champions, Ken Overlin and Tony Zale. He began 1941 by defeating future heavyweight and light heavyweight title challenger Tami Mauriello and then, in May of that year, beat old foe Overlin for Overlin's middleweight title. He never defended the title and retired in 1942 after losing a bout to Jimmy Bivins.
Soose was featured on the cover of the June 1941 Ring magazine and is a member of the World Boxing Hall of Fame. He is also the subject of a book, Billy Soose - The Champion Time Forgot.
Soose is set to be posthumously inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2009.
Georgie Abrams (November 11, 1918 - June 30, 1994) was a Jewish-American boxer who once fought for the middleweight championship.

He earned a shot at middleweight champion Tony Zale by defeating such contenders as Billy Soose, Teddy Yarosz, and Lou Brouillard. He met Zale in Madison Square Garden in 1941. Despite knocking Zale down in the first round he lost a fifteen-round decision. He never received another title shot and retired in 1948 after losing bouts to Marcel Cerdan, Sugar Ray Robinson, and Anton Raadik.

Text sometimes exhibits case sensitivity; that is, words can differ in meaning based on differing use of uppercase and lowercase letters. Words with capital letters don't always have the same meaning when written with lowercase letters. For example, Bill is the first name of former U.S. president Bill Clinton, who could sign a bill (which is a proposed law that was approved by Congress). And a Polish person can use polish to clean something.
When a computer program compares two words to decide whether they are the same, it might or might not apply case sensitivity, depending upon the programmer’s intent.
Case sensitivity is relevant to: *usernames *passwords *filenames *tags *commands *variable names *website addresses *searching for a text string within electronic text
Some computer languages are case-sensitive (Java, C++, C<ref name="k&r1e"></ref>, Ruby and XML), whereas others are case-insensitive (i.e., not case-sensitive), for example, most BASICs (an exception being BBC BASIC), SQL and Pascal. There are also languages, such as Haskell and Prolog, in which the capitalization of an identifier encodes information about its semantics.
It takes more work for a program to ignore case when comparing data, depending on the data being compared. Usually it suffices in text coded in character sets like ASCII or EBCDIC to merely convert the comparand and the data temporarily to one case and then compare; however it becomes far more challenging in a multi-lingual environment, e.g., using Unicode, since case-conversion rules differ between some languages, for example, in German the uppercase form for the sharp s ("ß") is SS.
Case-insensitive operations are sometimes said to fold case, from the idea of folding the character code table so that upper- and lower-case letters coincide. The alternative smash case is more likely to be used by someone that considers this behaviour a misfeature or in cases wherein one case is actually permanently converted to the other.
When a computer file system stores text, the computer may keep or discard case information. When the case is stored, it is called case preservation.
A system that is not case-preserving is necessarily case-insensitive, but it is possible and common for a system to be both case-insensitive and case-preserving. This combination is often considered most natural for computer uses, because most people prefer using the correct capitalization but will still recognize others. For example, if someone refers to the "uNiTeD states oF AMERICA", it is understood to mean the United States of America, even though the common capitalization looks better.
Mac OS X, the current versions of the Microsoft Windows operating systems and all versions of Amiga OS are case-preserving and case-insensitive in most cases. Since they are case-insensitive, when requesting a file by name any capitalization can be used, in contrast to case-sensitive systems where only a single capitalization would work. But as they are case-preserving, when viewing a file's name it will be presented with the capitalization used when the file was created. On a non-case-preserving system, arbitrary capitalization would be displayed instead, such as all upper- or lower-case.
Examples of systems with various case-sensitivity and case-preservation exist among file systems:

Dimitri Musafia (born in Long Beach, CA, U.S.A. on Sept. 29, 1962) is an artisan maker of violin and viola cases. Residing in Cremona, Italy, he first trained as a violinist, and subsequently as a violin maker at the Stradivari Institute in Cremona, before self-teaching himself to make cases, beginning in 1983, on the basis of his previous studies.
A Musafia violin case has been made for violins and violas by Stradivari, Guarneri del Gesu, Amati and other makers of the classic period of violin making, including the 1742 Guarneri del Gesu called “the Cannon” once owned by Paganini and the 1715 Stradivari “ex-Joachim” or “the Cremonese”, part of Cremona’s Civic Collection since 1961 and considered by many as the finest violin in existence.
Dimitri Musafia’s works have been commissioned by concert artists such as Salvatore Accardo, Anne-Sophie Mutter, Isaac Stern, Joshua Bell, Sarah Chang, Uto Ughi, Chloe Hanslip, as well as many concertmasters of important orchestras such as the Vienna Philharmonic, NHK Symphony Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, Metropolitan Opera of New York, Opera of Rome, La Scala di Milano, and others.
For his merits in the field of violin case making, Dimitri Musafia has been defined the “Stradivari of violin case makers” by the City Council for the Arts of Cremona, Italy.

Joe Ferrante is a Maltese artist living in British Columbia, Canada. From an early age, Joe has been portraying his love of art through his landscape paintings, and then went on to become one of Canada's top wildlife artist.
Born in Sliema, on the island of Malta, Europe, in 1951, Joe studied art at St. Patrick's school in Sliema, and after graduating with a diploma in art and degree in printing and design, Joe found employment with a local printing establishment as a graphic artist. While still residing on the island, Joe sold his early works, mainly landscape paintings, to tourists from his art gallery in Valletta.
In 1974, Joe and his new found wife Irene immigrated to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, where he continued to work as a graphic artist in various printing shops. Then in 1981, Joe and Irene decided to move up to Prince George, in northern British Columbia. Immediately, Joe started construction on his new home and studio, after purchasing twenty two acres of land in the rural area on the outskirts of Prince George. He immediately fell in love with the magnificent natural habitat and its abundant wildlife.
Joe was soon busy with his paint brush, and soon gained recognition, especially with the local collectors, for its detailed realistic approach. Living in British Columbia has given Joe Ferrante ample inspiration for his paintings. Joe has been painting wildlife for over 30 years working in an impressive array of mediums including oils, watercolors, gouache and his preferred acrylic.
He has won several awards from organizations such as Ducks Unlimited Canada, British Columbia Wildlife Federation, Guides & Outfitters of BC., and Chrysler Search for Canadian Artists.

Bruce Albert Wells (7 July1933 - present )was born in Harlesden, London.He is an amateur boxer.
His career win count is 385 - 3.
After moving to Reading as a boy, he joined the local Reading Aero Boxing Club and readily took to the game. He went on to win Junior ABA Welterweight titles in 1949 and 1950, and also claimed the Gold Star beating the late, great Joe Erskine.
In 1951 he made his international debut at Belle Vue against the USA, completely outplaying New Yorker, Randy Sandy and dominating the proceedings with his long left lead.
Wells started 1953 in fine style, chalking up a victory against Ireland at the Royal Albert Hall, following two successes in Denmark, before he attempted to win the ABA Championships.
On 24 April he outscored Scotland's Len Mullen in a semi final at Wembley, and later that evening was crowned ABA light Middleweight champion, outpointing Brixton eel-dresser Roy Francis, who was to become one of Britain's best known referees.
Fortified by ABA success, Wells, along with six other ABA champions, which included a young Henry Cooper, headed for the European Amateur Boxing Championships in Warsaw, and eventually clinched Gold, beating Polish National Hero Zbigniew Pietrzykowski,who was himself to go on and win a total of four European titles.
1953 was also a great year outside the ring, as on 10 December, Wells was honoured as one of the Sport Writers Association, Sportsman of the year, along with Don Cockell, Sir Stanley Matthews, Alec Bedser, Jim Peters and Mike Hawthrown. In 1954 Wells went on to retain his ABA Crown outpointing Irishman Andy Keogh in the final at Wembley, before captaining the European team in the prestigious International Golden Gloves matches in the USA , outclassing Art Glass and Leslie Temple in Chicago and St Louis respectively.
At the end of July, Bruce flew to Vancouver for 1954 British Empire and Commonwealth Games, reaching the semi final. A horrendous head on clash after only two minutes and ten seconds of the bout ruled both men out of the championships, although Wells gained the verdict and the Bronze medal, by reason of majority point decision. Wells eye injury later required eight stitches and was forced to withdraw from the tournament.
Plagued by weight problems and difficulties outside the ring, Wells suffered his third and final reverse to West Germany's Hans Reinhart in an International match at Wembley.
After stepping up to Middleweight, his last major bout was to be against the formidable Olympic and European Champion, Stalingrad's Gennadiy Shatkov. Although the Great Britain team was drubbed 8-2 in the International competition, Wells won his bout, outpounting Schatkov over three rounds.
After retiring from competitive boxing, Wells became a stunt artist, working on various films and TV productions, although in 1977 he participated in a charity boxing exhibition bout with the Great Muhammad Ali, during a visit to South Shields, UK.

Jerome Klein was an American art historian and art critic.
Klein began his career as an instruction in art history at Columbia University in the late 1920’s , the only member of the department interested in modern art. In 1933 Klein signed a letter protesting the decision of the university to invite Hans Luther, the Ambassador from Nazi Germany, to speak at Columbia. Although other professors also signed the letter, Klein’s return address left on one of the letters by a careless student opponent of fascism identified Klein as the ringleader. According to Stephen H. Norwood, Columbia University President Nicholas Murray Butler, an admirer of Italian and German fascism, fired Klein for signing the letter.

William Harvey Thompson was a prohibition enforcement agent in the Seattle, Washington, unit of the Prohibition Bureau. Widely known as Kinky, because of this tight curly hair, Thompson's career illustrated one of the problems - unprofessional enforcement - that led to increasing opposition to National Prohibition in the United States (1920-1933).
Thompson’s first mention in the press occurred after he shot a moonshine still-tender through the stomach during a raid.
Later Thompson reported that bootleggers attacked him late one night as he was driving on a deserted country road. He claimed that, while a car was overtaking him , he was shot in the arm. However, police investigators found substantial evidence that Thompson had fabricated the whole story.
Thompson used a blackjack on a man who had no reputation for violence. A jury hearing the resulting case denounced Thompson for his brutal beating of the defendant. The judge who presided at the trial later called Thompson’s supervisor into his chamber and warned him about Thompson’s behavior. Thompson later blackjacked a twelve year old boy, the boy’s mother, and his one-legged father. He subsequently pistol-whipped a manacled prisoner in full view of a crowd of onlookers who were outraged at his behavior.
Thompson‘s "favorite tactic was to walk into a joint, grab a pitcher of beer, and pour the contents on the bar, then offer to reimburse the nearest drinker. If the man denied that the beer was his, [Thompson] would strike him over the head with a shot-filled blackjack, and then wring a confession by painfully twisting the victim’s arm."
Bureau of Prohibition officials defended their agents’ violence, arguing that they bravely had to consume alcohol as part of their undercover work and that it threatened their health and caused crazed behavior. However, a local newspaper asked why patrons who consumed the same beverages didn’t become similarly crazed with an uncontrollable desire to injure others and destroy property.
Police summoned to a drunken fight between a couple in a parked car asked the driver to move on. At that point the driver became belligerent and reached for something in his coat but the officer fired first, fatally wounding Thompson.
Thompson was eulogized as a martyr for the dry cause and his death was blamed on societal disrespect for law and order. Federal Prohibition officials later praised Thompson’s “zeal” but never acknowledged that he had ever used excessive force.

Matanga () literally means an elephant.
In the Ramayana, Maharishi Matanga was a man who was brought up as a Brahmin but was the son of a Chandala. It possibly refers to many different persons.
Matanga is also an Ocean Going Tug of the Indian Navy commissioned on April 2, 1983. Pronounced Maa-than-g (meaning elephant), she has been in service over the last 25 years.
In the Ramayana, Rama and Lakshman visited the hermitage of Matanga near the Rishyamuka mountain and met the devotional tribal woman, Shabari.
His story, as told in the Mahabharata, relates that he was mercilessly goading an ass's foal which he was driving. The mother ass, seeing this, tells her foal that she could expect no better, for her driver was no Brahmin but a Chandala. Matanga, addressing the ass as "most intelligent," begged to know how this was, and was informed that his mother when intoxicated had received the embraces of a low-born barber, and that he, the offspring, was a Chandala and no Brahmin.
In order to obtain elevation to the position of a Brahmin, he went through such a course of austerities as to alarm the gods. Indra refused to admit him. He persevered again for a hundred years, but still Indra persistently refused such an impossible request, and advised him to seek some other boon. Nothing daunted, he went on a thousand years longer, with the same result. Though dejected he did not despair, but proceeded to balance himself on his great toe. He continued to do this for a hundred years, when he was reduced to mere skin and bone, and was on the point of falling. Indra went to support him, but inexorably refused his request, and, when further importuned, "gave him the power of moving about like a bird, and changing his shape at will, and of being honoured and renowned."
The Sage Matanga is renowned as the one who was granted the boon of having his prayer granted, that the supreme Divine Mother (God as Mother) be born in his family as his own daughter.
