Ozora ist eine ungarische Gemeinde im Kreis Tamási im Komitat Tolna. Die Einwohnerzahl beträgt knapp 1.600 (Stand 2011).

Geschichte
Die erste schriftliche Erwähnung des Ortes befindet sich in einem Dokument des Bischofs von Pécs aus dem Jahre 1009. Pipo von Ozora ließ sich dort mit Genehmigung von Sigismund von Ungarn 1416 ein Schloss erbauen. Das Gebäude ist von der Form quadratisch, zweigeschossig und besitzt einen großen Innenhof. Die Maße des Hauptgebäudes betragen 35 mal 35 Meter, die des Innenhofes 17 mal 17 Meter. Im Jahr 1491 wurde das Schloss stark beschädigt, jedoch 1520 durch Ferenc Héderváry restauriert. 1848 erzielte der ungarische General Artúr Görgey in Ozora einen bedeutenden Sieg während der Revolution.

Im Jahr 1913 gab es in der damaligen Großgemeinde 916 Häuser und 4612 Einwohner auf einer Fläche von 5634 Katastraljochen. Sie gehörte zu dieser Zeit zum Bezirk Tamási im Komitat Tolna.

Im Jahre 2002 drehte der ungarische Regisseur György Pálfi seinen Film Hukkle in Ozora mit Bewohnern des Ortes als Laiendarstellern. Seit 2004 findet jedes Jahr nahe Ozora das Psychedelic-Trance-Festival Ozora Festival statt.

Irmandades da Fala de Galiza e Portugal


Rabobank (; full name: Coöperatieve Rabobank U.A.) is a Dutch multinational banking and financial services company headquartered in Utrecht, Netherlands. The group comprises 89 local Dutch Rabobanks (2019), a central organisation (Rabobank Nederland), and many specialised international offices and subsidiaries. Food and agribusiness constitute the primary international focus of the Rabobank Group. Rabobank is the second-largest bank in the Netherlands in terms of total assets.

A 2013 scandal resulted in a $1 billion fine for unscrupulous trading practices, which included the manipulation of LIBOR currency rates worldwide. Chief Executive Piet Moerland resigned immediately as a result.

In terms of Tier 1 capital, the organisation is among the 30 largest financial institutions in the world. As of December 2014, total assets amount to €681 billion with a net profit of €1.8 billion.

History
Rooted in agriculture, Rabobank is set up as a federation of local credit unions that offer services to the local markets.

Creation of farmers' banks
The bank was rooted in the ideas of Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen, the founder of the cooperative movement of credit unions, who in 1864 created the first farmers' bank in Germany. Being a countryside mayor he was confronted with the abject poverty of the farmers and their families. He tried to alleviate this need through charitable aid, but realised that self-reliance had more potential in the long run, and thus converted his charitable foundation into a farmers' bank in 1864. In doing so he created the Darlehnskassen-Verein, which collected the savings of countryside dwellers and provided enterprising farmers with loans.

This model found a lot of interest in the Netherlands at the end of the 19th century. One of the first of Raiffeisen's followers was Father Gerlacus van den Elsen, who stood at the basis of a number of local farmers' banks in the south of the Netherlands. The model caught on being championed by the clergy and the countryside elites. The mission of the farmers' lending banks was an idealistic one, but they always operated using strict business principles. Controversially, a founding principle of Rabobank's cooperative style was to cooperate in the interest of "warding off the Shylock" . The cooperative bank model assured a tight bond between invested capital and the community.

Early cooperation
The bank's traditional headquarters are Utrecht and Eindhoven. In 1898, two cooperative bank conglomerates were formed:
 Coöperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Bank in Utrecht
 Coöperatieve Centrale Boerenleenbank in Eindhoven

Raiffeisen-Bank was formed as a cooperative of six local banks, while Boerenleenbank was a cooperative of 22 local banks. These two existed side by side for three-quarters of a century despite their obvious similarities. The reasons for this owed in part to legal disagreements. The most important difference, however, was cultural. The Eindhoven-based Boerenleenbank had a decidedly Catholic signature while the Raiffeisen-Bank had a Protestant background. In the past the Netherlands underwent a process of pillarisation (Dutch: verzuiling), which in practice meant that members of different religious congregations and political movements essentially lived side by side, without contact between the two. A consequence of this pillarisation was that many villages hosted not one but two local banks, one each for Catholics and Protestants. The close-knit community banking that resulted helped these banks to better control their risks. Consequently, when the Dutch banking sector was devastated by a financial crisis in the early 1920s, these local banks survived largely unscathed. The religious backgrounds found their way to their organisational structures, as well; Boerenleenbank was highly centralised, while Raiffeisen-Bank promoted local autonomy.

Merger
By 1940, the two organisations cooperated with each other, albeit on a limited scale. Three major developments caused a further tightening of the bonds between the two:
 An increase in the number of branches, leading to increased local competition
 A gradual fading of the confessional differences between the two
 An increasing demand for capital in the Dutch industry, which in turn led to higher concentration in the banking business

In 1972, the two organisations merged to form Coöperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank, or Rabobank for short. The organisation chose Amsterdam to be its statutory headquarters due to its historical neutrality in relation to the founding organisations. From 1980 to 2015, the central organisation was referred to as Rabobank Nederland.

Overseas expansion
In 1980, Rabobank expanded its international activities as part of its mission to finance global agriculture. In 1990, it established a joint-venture bank in Indonesia by partnering with a local bank, Bank Duta, to form RabobankDuta. Bank Duta subsequently collapsed in the 1998 Asian financial crisis, and Rabobank bought Duta's share to operate solely as PT Bank Rabobank International Indonesia. In 1994, it purchased Primary Industry Bank of Australia (PIBA), which had operations in Australia and New Zealand, and renamed it Rabobank Australia Limited in 2003. In 1997, it purchased New Zealand–based Wrightson Farmers Finance Limited and renamed it Rabobank New Zealand in 1999. Rabobank became a significant lender to the rural sector in New Zealand with this purchase and used this as a base to expand its lending business further.

Rabobank purchased Australian company Lend Lease Agro Business in 2003. In 2008, it expanded its operations in Indonesia by buying two retail banks, Bank Haga and Bank Hagakita. The bank has offices in 38 countries. Utrecht-America Holdings, Inc. and Rabobank N.A. operate as subsidiaries of the Rabobank Group in the United States. In 2019, it was announced that Rabobank sold its American retail business to Mechanics Bank, with all Rabobank branches taking the Mechanics name. Rabobank will continue to do business in North America related to Food and Agriculture based-lending under its subsidiary Rabo AgriFinance.

Direct banking
In 2002, it launched a new internet only savings bank called Rabobank.be. A second online savings banks was launched in 2005 in Ireland under the name of RaboDirect, and then as RaboPlus in New Zealand and two years later in Australia. After a small hiatus new online banks were opened in Poland (2011) and Germany (2012). The advertising campaigns used to promote the savings business in Ireland and New Zealand raised the profile of Rabobank generally in those countries resulting in an increase in not only its savings business but also in its lending businesses. In 2010, Rabobank decided to use the same brand name in Australia and New Zealand for the savings bank and replaced RaboPlus with RaboDirect in these countries. In 2014, Rabobank worked with Vasco, now OneSpan, to create a new online authentication system using QR codes.

Acquisitions
Rabobank completed the acquisition of Mid-State Bank & Trust on May 1, 2007, which allows Rabo to expand its services to the Central Coast region of California, United States. In 2010, it also acquired Pacific State Bank, expanding into the Central Valley of California. Rabobank's branches in the United States were sold to Mechanics Bank in 2019.

Development
Right from the start the cooperative banks prospered. They managed to perform the key tasks of a banking organisation, that is, bringing excess capital and capital shortages together. These moneylenders stood close to the farmers and were better in judging the creditworthiness of individual farmers than the city banks. This allowed the banks to offer lower interest rates. The local banks were self-governed by members of the cooperation. They adhered to the principle of non-remunerated management and elected the board and the commissioners from among themselves. Only the cashier received a small salary. This has changed, but even as recently as in late 1950s the local bank office was nothing more than the cashier's living room, he generally performed his administrative duties besides another regular job. Much later, in the 1960s the most local banks moved into new and modern offices that reflected their new-found professionalism. The position cashier was replaced by a local bank director. Since 1998 the local bank director is an appointed professional banker and he presides over a board of directors which is chosen from among the members.

Local presence and local autonomy were always important but this hasn't stopped a wave of concentration of the local banks. The major rationale behind this was the need to attain economies of scale in the fields of payments, transaction, processing, staff and capital. Increasing customer demand for standardized and widely available products also played a significant part in this development. Currently the motto is "As large as is necessary, as small as possible."

Traditionally the bank served mostly farmers and small businesses. Since the introduction of consumer salary accounts in the 1960s the number of retail clients grew exponentially. This has led to Rabobank being a prominent player in the field of savings accounts, checking accounts and mortgages in the Netherlands.

In June 2012, rating agency Moody's downgraded Rabobank's to Aa2 (previously Aaa), with a negative outlook. Due to a new rating methodology in November 2011 by rating agency Standard & Poor's, the credit status was downgraded two steps from AAA to AA. In November 2014, S&P lowered the rating from AA- to A+ with a negative outlook. Rating agency Fitch rates the credit status of the bank AA-, with a negative outlook.

As per the new strategy, Rabobank is planning to exit some markets. In September 2014, Rabobank sold Bank BGZ to BNP Paribas for $1.39 billion.

Unlike most major banks, Rabobank's central organisation was originally a subsidiary of the local branches. However, new banking regulations made a new arrangement necessary. In late 2015, on the recommendation of a specially-created Governance Committee, Rabobank's 106 cooperative banks voted unanimously to merge with Rabobank Nederland. The merger took effect on 1 January 2016. While the 106 Rabobanks still have considerable autonomy, the central organisation is now the parent body.

A 2013 scandal resulted in a $1 billion fine for unscrupulous trading practices, which included the manipulation of LIBOR currency rates worldwide. Chief Executive Piet Moerland resigned immediately as a result.

Job cuts
In December 2015, Rabobank announced to cut 9,000 jobs by 2018 (3,000 jobs by the end of 2016) and almost a fifth of its current workforce. The policy was to comply with the tougher Basel IV rulebook.

Organisation structure

The Rabobank Group consists of a network of local banks, Rabobank Nederland and several daughter organisations.

Previously, the local Rabobanks were the mother organisation of Rabobank Nederland, their central organisation. The local banks were facilitated by Rabobank Nederland to serve their customers, not the other way around as is often the case with traditional banking organisations. Employees of the group did not routinely speak of a headquarters but preferred to speak of Rabobank Nederland, which was their daughter organisation. In 2016, however, the local banks merged with Rabobank Nederland, while retaining significant independence.

Even before 2016, the central organisation occasionally overruled the autonomy of the local bank organisations. In accordance with Dutch regulations in the field of credit and financial services Rabobank Nederland oversees that the local banks maintain a required level of prudence and professionalism while selling financial products. This has grown to be especially important in view of international standards such as Sarbanes–Oxley Act, Basel II and IFRS. This leads to a rather unusual phenomenon within international business: the mother companies and the much larger daughter are essentially forced to coexist in order to function properly. This has led to a very ambivalent relationship between the two over the years.

At the time of the merger there were five management instruments within Rabobank Nederland:
 Algemene Vergadering – general assembly. The boards of all local banks within the cooperation were represented there.
 De Centrale Kringvergadering – advisory board manned by representatives of clusters of local banks.
 De Hoofddirectie – general management. Theoretically they were an autonomous management organ, but in practice, they had to pay 'serious consideration' to what the 4th organ; Raad van Beheer; thought about the course of action for the organisation.
 Raad van Beheer – management council. An independent advisory council whose chairman also attended the meetings of De Hoofddirectie.
 Raad van Toezicht – supervisory board

In 2002 this structure was simplified. The Raad van Beheer was disbanded. De Hoofddirectie received an integral authority over the banking business. It was also renamed to Raad van Bestuur or board of directors. They have an added task compared to a traditional board i.e., they are expected to look out for the specific interests of the members (local banks and their certificate holders). The Raad van Toezicht was renamed to county commission and now held an independent supervisory role. The chairman of this board also presides over the Centrale Kringvergadering. The latter is the most distinguishing organ as compared to other financial institutions in the Netherlands and abroad.

Market position

Rabobank is traditionally a farmers' bank and it still holds an 85% to 90% market share in the agrarian sector in the Netherlands. Throughout the years, the company has also started targeting small and medium-sized companies. By the mid 1970s the market share in this sector reached some 30% and currently amounts to approximately 40%. In 1987, an important milestone was reached; the total outstanding loans in sectors other than agriculture exceeded those in the agricultural sector for the first time. By 2005 the agricultural credits amounted to some 8% of total outstanding credit.

Rabobank also holds some 40% of the total outstanding sums on Dutch savings accounts and they account for approximately 30% of all private consumer mortgages in the Netherlands.

In the Netherlands, Rabobank is the third-largest retail bank by market share, and second largest by number of current accounts at 30%. ING Group is the largest with 40% of current accounts, followed by Rabobank (30%), ABN AMRO (20%), and others (10%).

The Rabobank Group currently consists of the following divisions:

On 21 February RaboDirect announced that it would be closing down its Irish operations from 16 May 2018, with the loss of 31 jobs.

New Zealand

RaboDirect, originally known as RaboPlus, was launched in February 2006 and was at the time only bank in New Zealand whose parent company was rated AAA by Standard & Poor's (the credit rating has since been downgraded and as of October 2015 is A).

Australia
On 23 May 2007, Rabobank opened a RaboPlus Internet bank in Australia. On 20 May 2010, the services were rebranded to RaboDirect. RaboDirect is the major partner of the Melbourne Rebels Super Rugby side. By 2011 over $6 billion had been gathered in deposits.

Germany
On 20 June 2012, Rabobank opened a RaboDirect in Germany. Rabobank has had a presence in Germany since 1984. It has operated in the field of corporate finance and has been primarily active in the food and agriculture sector in the country.

Poland
Rabobank operated a direct bank in Poland, but under the Bank BGZ operation and using the name "BGZ Optima". The Polish business including BGZ Optima was subsequently sold to French bank BNP Paribas in December 2013 for around $1.4 billion.

Hilario de Almeyra (Almeira o Almeida) fue un médico y legislador argentino del  que sirvió como cirujano militar en, entre otros conflictos, la Guerra del Brasil, en la Guerra entre la Confederación Argentina y el Estado de Buenos Aires y en la Guerra del Paraguay.

Biografía
Hilario de Almeyra nació en la ciudad de Buenos Aires en 1799, hijo de Juan Agustín de Almeyra Silva (1754, 1837) y de su segunda esposa Petrona Díaz.

Era medio hermano del destacado médico y escritor Francisco de Paula Almeyra (1791-1870), quien publicó La Lira argentina y presidió el Tribunal de Medicina entre 1848 y 1852.

Cursó sus estudios en la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Buenos Aires. Al igual que sus compañeros de estudio, actuó como practicante en el ejército durante la Guerra del Brasil, asistiendo heridos en el Convento de la Merced.
Se graduó finalmente de médico en 1827.

De tendencias políticas afines al Partido Unitario (Argentina), en 1839 fue apresado y permaneció varios meses detenido en la guardia de San Miguel del Monte.

Ante las gestiones de su esposa Feliciana Núñez de la Quintana (1805, 1879) los autoridades provinciales concedieron el traslado a Buenos Aires donde permanecería a salvo pero con la ciudad por cárcel. Sin embargo, Almeyra fue advertido por el cónsul de Bélgica Adolfo van Praet de que se planeaba su asesinato, por lo que emigró a la ciudad de Montevideo y de allí al Imperio del Brasil.

Viéndose impedido de ejercer allí su profesión, regresó a Montevideo donde fue nombrado cirujano mayor en el ejército que defendía la ciudad sitiada.

Tras la caída del gobierno de Juan Manuel de Rosas, Justo José de Urquiza lo designó con igual cargo en el ejército de la Confederación Argentina, pero tras producirse la revolución del 11 de septiembre de 1852 adhirió al estado rebelde de Buenos Aires y sirvió como cirujano en su ejército durante la guerra contra la Confederación.

En su ejercicio, fue el responsable de atender la herida que recibió el 2 de junio de 1853 el general Bartolomé Mitre durante el sitio de Buenos Aires por las fuerzas al mando del general Hilario Lagos. Fue su pericia la que al permitirle extraer las esquirlas del frontal fracturado salvó la vida del general porteño.

Tras la guerra civil sirvió en los cuerpos de frontera en el área de Azul, frente de la guerra contra Calfucurá, en la Guerra del Paraguay y finalmente en la campaña de 1870 contra Ricardo López Jordán.

Finalizado ese conflicto se jubiló del servicio activo en las fuerzas armadas dedicándose a la actividad política. Fue diputado en la Legislatura provincial e integró la Corporación Municipal de la ciudad de Buenos Aires.

Con su esposa Feliciana Núñez de la Quintana tuvo tres hijas: Laura Almeyra Núñez (1839, ?), Rosario Almeyra Núñez (1841, 1928), y Ema Almeyra Núñez, quien casó con el general José Arredondo Moyano.

Falleció en su ciudad natal el 19 de julio de 1885, siendo sepultado en el Cementerio de la Recoleta.

Por resolución del 28 de octubre de 1904 se dio la denominación Almeyra al tramo de la actual avenida Juan B. Justo comprendido entre las actuales avenida Santa Fe y Castillo.

Arabellek altaşımı (ing. buffer underrun veya buffer underflow), bilgi işlemde iki cihaz veya işlem ile haberleşmede kullanılan arabelleğe, verinin okuma hızından daha düşük bir hızla beslenmesi durumudur. Bu durum, arabellekten okuma yapan program veya cihazın arabellek tekrar doldurulurken işlemini durdurmasını gerektirir ve arabelleğe konulan verinin genellikle böyle işlem başlama ve durdurma erişimlerine uygun olmaması nedeniyle istenilmeyen ve bazen çok önemli yan etkilere neden olabilir.

Genel neden ve çözümleri

Arabellek alttaşımı, hafızanın bir kısmının arabellek için kullanıldığı sabit ama boyuttan fazla veri ile doldurulduğu arabellek aşımı ile karıştırılmamalıdır. Arabellek aşımı genelde programlama hatalarının sonucu ortaya çıkar ve önlenebilirdir, oysa arabellek altaşımı genelde hafızanın bağlantı; diğerleri ile işlemci zamanı için yarışan iki işlem veya diğerleri ile ile bantgenişliği ile yarışan iki cihaz arasındaki, ile doldurulduğu geçici durumlar sonucu ortaya çıkar.

Bu problemlere karşı en basit çözüm hafıza miktarının artırılmasıdır. Gelen veri akışı saniyede 1 bit ile okunacaksa, 10 bit büyüklüğündeki bir hafıza, bağlantının başarısız olmasından önce 10 saniyeye kadar, 60 bit 1 dakikaya kadar, engellenmesini sağlayabilir. Ama, ikinci durum bu işlem veya cihaz için pahalı olabilen daha fazla hafıza gerektirir. Ayrıca, arabelleğin okuma işlemi başlamadan önemli bir süre duraklama gerektiren tam kapasite ile başlangıç yaptığı ve bu durumun bağlantının engellenmediği sürece sürdüğü kabulüne bağlıdır. İkinci durumda, veri ortalamada gerekenden daha hızlı gelmediğinde bağlantıdaki herhangi bir engelleme birikerek çoğalır, bağlantının 1 saat boyunca aktif olduğu kuramsal durumda, her dakikada bir bitin düşürülmesi 60 bitlik arabelleğin altaşımına neden olur.

CD ve DVD yazma işlemleri

Arabellek altaşımı, CD ve DVD yazmada önemli problemlere neden olabilir, çünkü lazer çalışmaya başladıktan sonra, durup tekrar hatasız çalışmaya başlayamaz, altaşım için gereken duraklama diskteki verinin geçersiz ve kullanılamaz olmasına neden olur. Genellikle arabellek sabit disk veya diğer CD/DVD gibi daha yavaş bir kaynak tarafından doldurulduğu için, küçük kapasiteli arabellek, yavaş işlemci veya diğer aynı zamanlı işlemlerin hafıza yükü ile tüketilebilir. Bu nedenle, değişik CD/DVD yazıcı üreticileri tarafından, Plextor BurnProof ve Yamaha SafeBurn gibi değişik markalarca, arabellek altaşımı engelleme tekniği gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu teknik ile, lazer istenilen herhangi bir süre için yazmayı durdurup arabellek tekrar tam dolunca tekrar devam edebilir. Başarılı yazma süreleri arasındaki süre oldukça küçüktür.

Yeniden yazılabilir medya ürünlerini (CD-RW, DVD-RW, DVD-RAM) kullanırken bu problemi engellemenin diğer bir yolu UDF dosya sistemini kullanmaktır. Bu dosya sistemi, veriyi tek, güncellenebilir adres tablosunca referanslanan daha küçük paketler ile düzenler. Böylece bu küçük paketli veri daha kısa sürede yazılabilir

Anna Ford (born 2 October 1943) is an English former journalist, television presenter and newsreader. She first worked as a researcher, news reporter and later newsreader for Granada Television, ITN, and the BBC. Ford helped launch the British breakfast television broadcaster TV-am. She retired from broadcast news presenting in April 2006 and was a non-executive director of Sainsbury's until the end of 2012. Ford now lives in her home town of Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire.

Early life
Ford was born in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, to parents who were both West End actors. Her father, John, had declined an offer from Samuel Goldwyn to work in Hollywood, and her mother, Jean (née Winstanley; sister of MP and broadcaster Michael Winstanley, Baron Winstanley) had worked with Alec Guinness. Her father later became ordained as an Anglican priest and took Ford and her four brothers to live at Eskdale in the Lake District. She went to primary school at St Ursula's School, Wigton, then to Wigton Grammar School. After her father became the parish priest at St Martin's Church in Brampton she moved to the White House Grammar School. She also attended Minehead Grammar School in Somerset and lived in nearby Wootton Courtenay.

Ford received a BA degree in economics from the Victoria University of Manchester and was president of the university's students' union from 1966 to 1967.

Career
Ford worked as a teacher for four years, including teaching Provisional Irish Republican Army prisoners at the Her Majesty's Prison Maze in Northern Ireland for two years. She was later an Open University social studies tutor in Belfast for two years. Ford was thirty by the time that she joined Granada Television as a researcher in 1974. Initially, she was told she was too old to be a newsreader, but became a reporter and newsreader on Granada Reports. She joined the BBC in January 1977, but only after several months as security clearance from MI5 was required because she was then living with a former communist. This led to her BBC personnel file being marked with a "Christmas tree" symbol. Ford subsequently worked on Man Alive and Tomorrow's World.

In February 1978, Ford moved to ITN, and was faced with quickly abandoned legal threats from the BBC for breaking her contract. Future colleague Reginald Bosanquet said at the time: "I have never been averse to working with ladies ... I do not know Anna but I have heard that she is a very competent and professional lady." Ford remains fond of his memory, and they formed a good professional relationship. Ford began presenting ITV's News at One in March and later the 5:45 pm bulletin, but within two months had become the first female newscaster on News at Ten.

In 1979, Ford appeared in a skit along with John Cleese and Terry Jones of the Monty Python troupe as part of "The Amnesty International Comedy Gala", a comedy programme performed at Her Majesty's Theatre, Haymarket, London. The film version is called "The Secret Policeman's Ball".

In 1981, she left ITN to join the presenting team of the soon-to-launch TV-am. ITN were bidding for the breakfast franchise themselves and had positioned Ford as the lead anchor in their bid, unaware that she was involved with another bidder. When her subterfuge was exposed, ITN immediately terminated her contract and publicly criticized her dishonesty and disloyalty. Her tenure at TV-am was short lived in part due to fierce competition from the BBC's casually styled Breakfast Time. The loss of viewers resulted in a relaunch which was perceived as "dumbing-down" of the station, and only three months after the station's launch, Ford was dismissed from TV-am partly due to her on-air support for chairman Peter Jay (who had already resigned) and partly because she refused to stand down from Good Morning Britain when the ratings slumped. Ford was involved in an incident at a party in which she threw her wine over Jonathan Aitken to express her outrage over his involvement in her sacking from the channel.

Ford rejoined the BBC in 1988, becoming part of the presentation team for both BBC One's Six O'Clock News and the BBC Radio 4 Today in 1993. From 1999, she fronted the relaunched One O'Clock News.

On 30 October 2005, Ford announced she would retire from broadcasting in April 2006 to pursue other interests while she "still has the interest and energy". She also talked about ageism, stating:

Ford presented her last One O'Clock News on 27 April 2006, signing off by introducing a compilation of clips of her career. On 2 May 2006, J Sainsbury plc, the UK supermarket group, announced Ford was joining the company as a non-executive director. She is the Chair of Sainsbury's board's Corporate Responsibility Committee.

Academia
On 17 December 2001, Ford was installed as Chancellor of the Victoria University of Manchester. When the Victoria University of Manchester merged with the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST) on 1 October 2004 to create the new University of Manchester, she became its Co-Chancellor along with Sir Terry Leahy (the former Chancellor of UMIST). She completed her term and Tom Bloxham succeeded her as sole Chancellor on 1 August 2008.

On 22 April 2006, Ford received an honorary doctorate from the University of St Andrews, nominated by Sir Menzies Campbell.

Other work
Ford is one of many guest hosts to have taken the chair for the satirical news quiz Have I Got News for You.

Personal life
Ford had an early marriage to Alan Bittles (1970–div), although this dissolved before her television career and, in the late 1970s, she was briefly engaged to Jon Snow, a colleague at ITN. She married the magazine editor and cartoonist Mark Boxer in 1981; with him she had two daughters, Claire (b. 1982) and Kate (b. 1985), before he died of a brain tumour in 1988 at their home in Brentford, Greater London.

She was briefly engaged in 2000, to former astronaut David Scott, the seventh man to walk on the Moon. Ford became the subject of news stories in August 2001, when she lost a high-profile court case. She claimed unsuccessfully that photographs of her in a bikini with Scott, by a press photographer in Majorca, with a powerful zoom lens and published in the British media, constituted an invasion of her privacy.

In a letter to The Guardian in February 2010, Ford accused Martin Amis (a friend of her late husband Mark Boxer) of having neglected his duties as godfather to her daughter Claire and also having been disrespectful to Boxer at the time of his death. Amis rejected her allegations in a reply, but accepted that he had been remiss in his duties as godfather.

La causalité diabolique (Essai sur l'origine des persécutions) est un essai historique de Léon Poliakov paru pour la première fois en 1980 (premier tome) et 1985 (second tome) chez Calmann-Lévy et réédité en 2006 avec une préface de Pierre-André Taguieff.

Dans cet essai, Léon Poliakov étudie les principaux groupes humains du joug mongol à l'avènement de Lénine, qui ont comme les Juifs, joué le rôle de bouc émissaire tout au long de l'histoire de l'Europe, en tant que fauteurs d'épidémies, de guerres de révolutions et autres désastres.

La causalité diabolique


Kurtdereli Mehmet Pehlivan (1864, Tırnovo - 11 Nisan 1939, Balıkesir), Türk güreşçi. Kurtdereli, Fransız kaynaklarda "Cour-Derelli" olarak geçmektedir.

Yaşamı
Kurtdereli Mehmet, 1864 yılında, günümüzde Bulgaristan sınırları içinde bulunan -Türklerin yoğun olarak yaşadığı- Deliorman bölgesindeki Tırnova (bg: Велико Търново) vilayetinin Selvi kasabasına bağlı Bukriva (Çobanköy) -Bukriva'ya Balkan harpleri sonrasında, Mladen (Младен) ismi verilmiştir- köyünde doğdu. Mehmet Pehlivan, 1,95 m boyunda ve 148 kg ağırlığında idi. 21 yaşında iken Koca Yusuf'un karşısına çıktı, övgüsünü kazandı. 93 Harbi'nden sonra Balıkesir'in Kurtdere köyünde hayatına devam etti. 1934'te Soyadı Kanunu'ndan sonra Baykurt soyadını almıştır. 1939 yılında, 75 yaşında Balıkesir'de öldü.

Güreş kariyeri
Dönemin meşhur pehlivanları Koca Yusuf, Adalı Halil, Kara Ahmed, Katrancı Mehmet Pehlivan, Karagöz Ali, Filiz Nurullah ve Hergeleci İbrahim ile güreşleri olmuştur. 1901 yılında Yıldız Sarayı'nda düzenlenen bir törende, Kara Ahmed, Adalı Halil, Molla İbrahim ve Ahmet Madaralı ile birlikte güreş sporunun ilerlemesindeki faydalı hizmetlerinden dolayı sanayi madalyası verildi. Ayrıca Kurtdereli'nin Kırkpınar başpehlivanlığı da bulunmaktadır.

Avrupa maçları
Kurtdereli Mehmet, 1899 yılında Paris Şehir Ödülü Turnuvası'na katıldı. Callmett, Pitejenski ve Dumas gibi ünlü güreşçileri yendi. Petrow'''a yenildi. Galibiyetler listesine Hint Gulan, Macar Caya, Rus Baradonow ve Alman Müller'i de ekledi. 1911 yılında, 32 gecede toplam 43 müsabakaya çıktı. Sonrasında "Cihan şampiyonu" unvanı verildi. Yazar İsmail Habib Sevük, "Kurdderelinin Londra Menkıbeleri" adlı yazısında Mehmet Pehlivan'ın İngiltere maceralarını anlatmıştır.

 Kurtdereli ve Atatürk
Himaye-i Etfal Cemiyeti (Çocuk Esirgeme Kurumu), Ankara'da at yarışı alanında 1931 yılının 11, 12 ve 13 Kasım günlerinde, Türk pehlivanları arasında büyük bir yağlı güreş karşılaşması düzenlenmişti. Mustafa Kemal ve TBMM Başkanı Kâzım Karabekir Paşa da güreşleri sonuna kadar izlemişti. Türkiye başpehlivanının seçileceği bu müsabakaya, Türkiye'nin her tarafından birçok tanınmış pehlivan gelmişti. Eski ve namdar pehlivanlar da bu karşılaşmanın hakemliğine seçilmişlerdi. Başhakem olarak, Kurtdereli Mehmet Pehlivan ve Suyolcu Mehmet Pehlivan en büyük yeri almışlardı.

Kurtdereli bu güreşlerde başhakem olarak bulunurken, Anadolu Ajansı, Havacılık ve Spor, Hâkimiyet-i Milliye muhabirleriyle konuşmalar yaptı.

Avrupa'da, gençliğinde yaptığı güreşleri anlattı. İşte, bu görüşmeler sırasında Kurtdereli Mehmet Pehlivan bu başarılarının sırrını öğrenmek için kendisiyle konuşanlara, baştanbaşa mücadele ve başarılarla dolu geçmişini anlatırken, birbirini kovalayan büyük zaferlerinin sırrını şöyle açıklamıştı:

Prof. Dr. Afet İnan, Atatürk'le ilgili anılarında, bu güreşleri bizzat güreş yapılan yere Atatürk'le birlikte gelerek izlediğini şöyle anlatmaktadır:

"Anadolu Ajansı'nın sorduğu soruyla, Kurtdereli'nin o sözü söylemesinden sonra, Atatürk'e, hakem yerinde oturan yaşlı Kurtdereli'yi gösterdiler ve onun hakkında bazı şeyler söylediler. Bu sözler Atatürk'ün hislerinin en derin noktasına tesir etmiş ve bu hâl gözlerinden akan birkaç damla yaşla belirmişti. "Türklük ve Türklüğün şerefi, Atatürk'ün üzerine titrediği en mukaddes varlıktır. Atatürk güreşleri seyrederken bilhassa Kurtdereli Mehmet Pehlivan'dan gözlerini ayırmamıştır. O gün, Çankaya'ya döner dönmez eski başpehlivana bir mektup yazar ve bu mektubu bir armağanla birlikte Ali Kılıç ve Salih Bozok ile gece yarısı Kurtdereli'ye vermek üzere gönderir. Kurtdereli, Suyolcu Mehmet Pehlivan ile kaldığı "Zafer Oteli"nde uykudan kaldırılır. Atatürk'ün gönderdiği para armağanı (bin Türk Lirası'') ile kendisine övgüleriyle dolu mektubunu Pehlivana verirler. Kurtdereli ummadığı ve beklemediği bu iltifattan dolayı ağlar ve dualar eder.

Atatürk'ün yazdığı ve Türk sporu için bir direktif niteliğinde olan bu mektup şöyledir:

Atatürk'ün mektubuna eklediği armağan ise şuydu: "İş Bankası Umum Müdürlüğü'ne, Kurtdereli Mehmet Pehlivan'a bin Türk lirası. Bu para, birinci kanun (Aralık ayı) aylığımdan faiziyle kesilecektir."

Kurtdereli ve Sultan II. Abdülhamid
Kurtdereli, kendisiyle konuşan bir gazete muhabirine şunları söylemiştir:

"-İstibdat devrinde (Sultan II. Abdülhamid'in saltanat dönemi) Avrupa'ya gitmek için vapura bindiğim zaman Saray'dan bir mabeyinci gelip dedi ki:

"Zat-i Şahane'nin selamları var, Avrupa'da güreşirken tac ve tahtımın şerefini koruyarak güreş yapsın, buyurdular." Ben de kendisine dedim ki: "Zat-ı Şahane'nin tac ve tahtının olduğu kadar benim sırtımın da şerefi vardır!" Mabeyinci bir şey demeden gitti. Kendisine söylediğimi aynen Padişah'a söylemiş olacak ki, Avrupa'dan dönen pehlivanlara hediyeler ihsan verilmek âdet olduğu hâlde, avdetimde (dönüşümde) bana hiçbir şey verilmedi, fakat şu feleğin işine akıl sır erer mi? Bana dünyanın en büyük adamı, işte ömrümün son mükafatını verdi. Allah onu Türk milletine bağışlasın..."

Ödülleri
Kurtdereli Mehmet Pehlivan'ın nişan ve madalyaları arasında; II. Abdülhamid tarafından 1908'de verilen 4. dereceden Mecidi Nişanı Beratı ve 5 Aralık 1901'de ülkeye yararlığından dolayı verilen gümüş Sanayi Madalyası Beratı bulunmaktadır. V. Mehmed de Kurtdereli'ye güreşçiliğinden dolayı, 11 Aralık 1910'da Sanayi Madalyası Beratı vermiştir. Kurtdereli'nin madalyaları ilk kez 2018 yılında bulunmuştur.

Geleneği
Kurtdere köyünde, her yıl Mehmet Pehlivan adına, Kırkpınar'dan sonra Türkiye'nin en büyük yağlı güreş turnuvası olan "Geleneksel Kurtdereli Yağlı Güreşleri" düzenlenmektedir. Balıkesir'de adını taşıyan "Kurtdereli Kapalı Spor Salonu" ve Balıkesir Valiliği binasının yanında bir heykeli bulunmaktadır. Ayrıca 2014 yılında, Karesi Belediyesi, Kurtdereli Mehmet Pehlivan'ı anlatan bir çizgi film yayınlamıştır.

The M728 Combat Engineer Vehicle (CEV) is a full-tracked vehicle used for breaching, obstacle removal, and pioneering operations. Production commenced in 1965 and ceased in 1987. A total of 312 of all variants of these armored engineer vehicles were produced.

Design

Development and production
Prototype development began in the late 1940s at Ft. Belvoir, VA by the US Army Engineer Research & Development Laboratories in conjunction with Chrysler. These early T39 Demolition Tank prototypes were based on the M26 using several different modified turrets, demolition guns and heavy mortars. The T118 prototypes used the T95 hull beginning in 1960. Both prototypes went through extensive testing at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds through 1963 and final trials in 1964. The T118E1, with a modified M60A1 turret was then accepted into service as the M728 in 1965 and achieved operational capability in 1968.  The turrets for the M728 were manufactured at Chrysler Corp.'s Detroit Arsenal Tank Plant, Warren, Michigan.  Final assembly and mating to the vehicle hulls was performed at Anniston Army Depot in Alabama.  Initial production of the M728 was from 1965 to 1972.  Many of the M782A1s were former M60A2 Patton tanks converted to M728A1s from 1982 to 1987. All M728A1s were converted and assembled at the Anniston Army Depot under contract with General Dynamics Land Systems with a total of 312 of all variants produced.

Description
The M728 is a full-tracked combat engineer vehicle designed to provide maximum ballistic protection for the crew. It is a heavily armed derivative of the M60 series tank modified to provide a mobile and maneuverable weapon for combat support of ground troops and vehicles. The M728 vehicle is used for breaching, obstacle removal, and pioneering operations.
Although the M728 consists of a tank hull and a short-barreled turret, it is not a tank and should not be routinely used against enemy tanks. It is an excellent heavy assault support vehicle when used as part of a combined engineer-infantry team. The CEV is issued two per Engineer Company in the Heavy Division, two per Engineer Company in Corps (Mechanized), three per Engineer Company in Armor/Infantry Separate Brigades and three per Engineer Company in the Armored Cavalry Regiment.

It is usually equipped with either a hydraulically operated M9 Dozer Blade Assembly or a D7 Mine Plough. The M9 Dozer Blade Assembly is used for clearing the way, filling depressions, leveling ground and for other purposes. The D7 Mine Plough is a V-shaped plough that performs countermine activities by lifting surface laid mines and pushing them to the side as the vehicle moves forward. They are controlled by the driver.
A winch and retractable A-frame crane are mounted on the turret for lifting, carrying and winching operations. The hull front contains the driver's compartment, controls and instruments. The hull rear contains the engine, transmission, fuel tanks, and related automotive components. The turret has positions for the commander, gunner, and loader. The vehicle is also equipped with an NBC protection system for the crew.
It can produce a limited smokescreen by dumping raw diesel fuel into the exhaust system to visually obscure the area around the vehicle as well as provide a limited vehicle recovery capability.

Armament
The vehicle is armed with a 165mm M135 short-barreled demolition gun with 30 rounds of HEP (high explosive, plastic) ammunition. The M135 is a license-built copy of the 165 mm L9A1 gun that was used on the British Army's FV4003 Centurion Mk.5 AVRE (Armoured Vehicle Royal Engineers) tank. Depending on the usage, the gun can be depressed and elevated against targets up to an effective range of . The gun's primary purpose is for clearing defensive fixtures and obstacles, such as walls, fences, roadblocks and bunkers, or for destroying buildings and is generally not meant to be for use in anti-personnel or anti-tank warfare. The pushing and heaving effects caused by the HEP round's base detonating fuze and large amount of explosive can demolish barriers and knock down walls. One round creates a 1-foot (0.3 m) diameter hole in a 7-inch (178 mm) thick reinforced concrete wall. The round's effects against bunkers and field fortifications are dramatic, often crushing or smashing entire walls. The gun fires two types of fixed ammunition, the M123E1 HEP Round and the M623 Target Practice Round.  The main gun has a coaxial 7.62×51mm NATO M240E1 machine gun, with 2,000 rounds of 7.62mm ammunition. In addition, a .50 caliber M85 machine gun is mounted in the commander's cupola; this has 600 rounds of ammunition.

Service history

United States
It was first deployed in 1968 during the Vietnam War. The M728 was used in fire support, base security, counter ambush fire, direct assault of fortified positions, and limited reconnaissance by fire.  They were also deployed at this time to West Germany during the Cold War to support combat engineer operations and participated in annual Reforger exercises until 1991.

During mine clearing operations in the Gulf War the M1 MCRS was found to be cumbersome, heavy and hard to transport. In addition, since they were originally designed for the firmer soil conditions of Europe, its rollers were unsuitable for the softer soil of the desert. Instead of rolling, they often merely skidded, pushing soil in front of them until they bogged down. A mine clearing rake was specially designed and fabricated for the CEV in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. The full width rake allows the CEV to clear minefields in non-cohesive, granular soils such as sand. The Mine Clearing Rake is a V-shaped tined plough that performs countermine activities by lifting buried mines with its tines and pushing them to the side as the vehicle moves forward. Attached to any M728 CEV's D7 Mine Plow or M60 series tank via a M9 Dozer Blade Assembly. The Mine Clearing Rake also uses an aluminum skid shoe which protrudes from the front of the tines and allows the rake to maintain a consistent plowing depth. It clears a path  wide, accommodating heavy tanks and other armored vehicles. It weighs  and is easily assembled and installed.

They were active during the Desert Shield phase of the Gulf War in clearing suspected minefields, creating temporary defensive fighting positions and staging areas in the deserts near the Iraqi Saudi border. The M728A1s of the 24th Infantry Division and US XVIII Airborne Corps breached the openings for the "Left Hook" flanking of Iraqi forces during the Desert Storm phase of the war, but they were left behind once they began the pursuit and exploitation phase of the operation. A CEV of the 6th Battalion, 6th Regiment, 1st Armored Division, fired 21 M123E1 rounds into the stubbornly defended town of Al Busayyah: "That totally destroyed all the resistance in the town," according to the battalion commander. After the cease-fire, CEV guns were used to break up coke piles that had formed around approximately 20% of the burning oil wells in Kuwait. According to the US Army, the guns reduced the time to break up coke formation from as long as two days to 15 minutes. Commanders were unanimous in their opinion that the engineer force needed an M1 chassis based vehicle for heavy breaching and gap crossing equipment to fully support the M1 Abrams tank and M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles.

Three M728CEVs were temporally acquired for use by the United States Department of Justice's FBI and ATF SWAT teams to conduct Operation Showtime during the 1993 Siege of Waco, Texas.  They were provided to the ATF by Task Force Six of the Texas Army National Guard from Ft. Hood.  They were used to destroy perimeter fences and structures and to crush automobiles to prevent escape from the compound.

US Army M728A1s were deployed in support of the United Nations' Resolution, NATO led Implementation Force (IFOR) peacekeeping force in the former Yugoslavia in December 1995.  Their initial mission was to assist in protecting and demining the international airport at Sarajevo. By September 1996 their mission had expanded to include road clearance, bunker demolition and protecting humanitarian aid and assist relief delivery in the whole of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as to help protect civilian refugees when required by the Red Cross. Task Force Eagle assumed control of its area of responsibility during a ceremony with United Nations forces at Eagle Base in Tuzla on December 20 consisting of elements of the 1st Armored Division and its supporting elements from the U.S. V Corps and were joined by forces from twelve other nations. During the campaign in Bosnia, at least 3 M60 Panther MCDVs were used in conjunction with the M728. The Panther would lead the convoy followed by the M728. The Panther operator would control the vehicle from the M728 via a remote control system during road clearing operations.  There was a Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) camera system attached to the front of the Panther so the remote-operator could see where the tank was going through a screen on the remote control unit. The radio control signal was received by a long antenna protruding from the engine deck. The M728 also provided a good secondary clearing action by use of its bulldozer blade as it followed the Panther. It would skim the trail cleared by the Panther pushing away debris and keeping the route clear for other following vehicles, also smoothing out the road surface and could be used for filling in craters left by any exploding mines or ordnance. The CEV was also useful for quickly recovering the Panther should it become stuck, and its crane allowed easy loading and unloading of the mine roller onto transport vehicles. The 1st Armored Division was relieved by the 1st Infantry Division and returned to Germany in November 1996.

The M728 has been determined by the US Army to be inadequate to fully support the M1 Abrams and M2 Bradley, also cited were the rising costs to maintain and difficulty in acquiring parts for a low density piece of equipment and was retired from combat use with no clear replacement in 2000.  In the late 1990s, the Army decided it could not afford to continue developing complicated, maintenance-heavy vehicles for this purpose. The M1 Grizzly Combat Mobility Vehicle (CMV) was canceled in 2001, and the prototype developed never went into full production. The Marine Corps however persisted and funded its own development and testing of the M1150 Assault Breacher Vehicle.  As of 2009 it is still used by the Army National Guard and US Army Reserve. In 2018 the US Army began to phase out the M728 from service with the Army Reserves and National Guard replacing them with the M1150 and is to be completely withdrawn from US service by 2024.

Other users

The eight M728s formerly in service with the Singapore Army were retired in 2016, having been replaced by the Leopard 2-based AEV 3 Kodiak armoured engineer vehicle (AEV).

The Spanish Army began the Programa Coraza – 2000 ("Program Armor – 2000") in March 1995.
One of its goals was the development of a new combat engineer vehicle, the CZ-10/25E Alacran,  based on the M60A1 hull and converted from former M60A3 Patton MBTs with upgrades to the engine. It has an external appearance similar to the M728 CEV, but without the 165mm demolition gun, being replaced by a special backhoe. It also has a frontmounted dozer blade and is armed with a machine gun. An initial batch of 38 vehicles have been produced in close liaison with Engineers at the Army Logistics Command.

Portugal retired its M728CEVs in 2013.

As of 2015 they continue in service with the armies of a few other countries including Morocco and Saudi Arabia.

Variants

 T118E1 – prototype for the M728 based on the T95 hull
 M728 – version mated to the M60 hull
 M728A1 – version mated to the M60A1 RISE hull
 M60 CZ-10/25E Alacran – Spanish Army variant converted from upgraded M60A1 hulls
Additional equipment
 M9 Bulldozer Kit for the M60 series (SNL G306)  The M9 bulldozer installed on the M728 will increase the vehicle's weight by 4.45 tons (4.04 metric tons). It is controlled by the driver.
M58 Mine Clearing Line Charge (MICLIC) : The system consists of the launcher mounted on a M200A1 tracked trailer, an M147 firing kit, an M58A4 line charge and a 5-inch (127 mm) Mk22 Mod 4 rocket. The line charge is 350 feet (107 meters) long and contains 5 pounds (2.27 kg) per linear foot of C-4 explosive. In the event a MICLIC fails to detonate normally, it can be manually activated by time-delay fuses every few feet along the length of it. The MICLIC can provide a rapidly emplaced lane through mine and wire obstacles up to 14 meters wide and 100 meters deep. Mines containing magnetic or other non-pressure-sensitive fuses may escape destruction from the blast overpressure, but will usually be uncovered and blown to the side out of the lane.  Armored vehicles avoid mines by keeping the left track in the cleared centerline. Cleared lanes should also be proofed with plows or rollers when available.
 M1 Mine Clearing Roller System (MCRS) :  The MCRS is installed on the front of the tank through a removable adapter, and provides the capability for neutralization of Anti-Tank (AT) land mines, which are buried or laid on the surface, in the track path of the vehicle. The MCRS consists of two roller banks with two push arm assemblies. Each roller bank has four rollers, which apply ground pressure higher than that exerted by the tank. This principle ensures the explosion of pressure fused anti tank mines, which would otherwise explode under the track itself. Additionally an Anti-Magnetic Mine Activating Device (AMMAD) is connected between the two roller banks. The system weighs 10 short tons (9.07 metric tons).
D7 Surface Mine Plow (SMP): It is a track-width plow designed to skim the surface of a flat roadway or trail, not to defeat buried mines. It is controlled by the driver.
Track Width Mine Plow (TWMP) : The Track Width Mine Plough (TWMP) uses a raking action to clear a safe path by bringing concealed or buried mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) to the surface and moving them wide and clear of the vehicle. It can be fitted with a AMMAD to counter magnetic influence fused mines.
Full Width Mine Rake (FWMR) : A rake assembly for unearthing and disposing of buried and surface laid mines in sand and loose earth. Specifically designed for use in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

Košarkaški klub "Poreč" (KK "Poreč"; Poreč) je muški košarkaški klub iz Poreča, Istarska županija, Republika Hrvatska.

Povijest
KK "Poreč" je osnovan 1976. godine. Već iduće godine nakon majstorice s KK "Lošinj" odigrane u Rijeci klub ostvaruje plasman u Hrvatsku košarkašku ligu -Zapad. U početku je djelovao na košarkaškom igralištu "Plave lagune", a od 1978. djeluje u novoizgrađenoj dvorani "Veli Jože" u Poreču. Značajnije rezultate klub je počeo ostvarivati nakon 1986. godine kada je klub potpisao sponzorski ugovor s GP "Pionir" Novo Mesto. Iste godine klub je izabran i za najbolji sportski kolektiv Poreštine, a Predsjednik kluba Ivan Herak za najboljeg sportskog djelatnika. Godine 1987. klub nastupa u međunarodnoj košarkaškoj ligi "Alpe Adria" i ostvaruje najveći uspjeh pobjedivši u Poreču "Stefanel" iz Trsta kojeg je vodio proslavljeni trener Bogdan Tanjević. Iste godine ostvarena je pobjeda i nad jednom od najboljih američkih sveučilišnih momčadi - "Notre Dame". Već 1988. godine klub koji je promijenio ime u "Pionir-Poreč" po prvi puta osvaja titulu prvaka Hrvatske lige -Zapad. Isti uspjeh ostvaruje i u sezoni 1989./90. U spomenutom razdoblju KK "Pionir-Poreč" ugostio je u "Velom Joži" prvake Europe Cibonu i Jugoplastiku, Zadar, beogradske klubove IMT, Crvenu zvezdu, Radnički  i Partizan, zatim Olimpiju iz Ljubljane, Bosnu iz Sarajeva, Stefanel iz Trsta.

Od osamostaljenja Hrvatske, KK "Poreč" se ligaški natjecao u "B-1 ligi - Zapad" i "A-2 ligi - Zapad", koju osvajaju u sezoni 2004./05., te sudjeluju u kvalifikacijama za "A-1 ligu".

Klub 2012. godine gasi seniorsku momčad, te dalje radi s nižim dobni skupinama (do kadeta).

Kako bi se dalje igrala seniorska košarka u Poreču, 2012. godine je osnovan novi klub imena KK "Istra", u koji su prešli pojedini bivši igrači "Poreča".

Literatură

Portugalia este uneori denumită ca țara poeților. În literatura portugheză poezia avea totdeauna influență mai puternică decât proza. În Evul Mediu, când a luat ființă națiunea portugheză, în nord-vestul Peninsulei Iberice, a fost răspândită poezia. Au apărut opere lirice. Pe lângă poeții clasici cunoscuți Luís de Camões și Fernando Pessoa, există un număr de artiști mai puțini cunoscuți, care au o influență semnificativă asupra literaturii portugheze moderne.

Proză s-a dezvoltat mai târziu ca poezia și a apărut mai întâi în secolul al XIV-lea, în formă de cronici sau descrieri a vieții sfinților. Cel mai faimos reprezentant este Fernão Lopes. El a scris o cronică a trei regi din timpul său. Pentru el, precizia reprezentării și un portret plin de viață erau cele mai importante. Pe plan internațional, cel mai bine cunoscut este literatura modernă portugheză, mai ales prin lucrările lui José Maria Eca de Queiroz și prin Premiul Nobel pentru Literatură în 1998, José Saramago.

Femeile sunt, de asemenea, considerate, printre cei mai importanți scriitorii contemporani din țară, menționând aici în mod deosebit pe Lídia Jorge și Agustina Bessa-Luís. Printre tinerii autori a reușit să-și facă un nume Valter Hugo Mãe.

Muzică

Fado este numele celui mai important gen de muzică în Portugalia. Această muzică este melancolică, strâns legată de Saudade (dor), și este probabil rezultată prin amestecarea melodiilor de navigatorii portughezi cu ritmurile sclavilor africani. Se disting două forme de stil, și anume, unul variat, mai popular, fado de Lisabona, și altul academic, cântat doar de bărbați, fado de Coimbra. O cunoscută compoziție fado pe plan internațional este April in Portugal, o versiune în limba engleză a cântecului Coimbra de Raul Ferrão. Amália Rodrigues a fost cea mai importantă artistă fado. Printre tinerii de cântăreți de succes sunt Mariza, Camané sau Ana Moura. În fostele colonii ale Portugaliei, fado a continuat să se răspândească, evoluând în Capul Verde prin genul muzical morna de către cântăreața Cesaria Evora iar în Brazilia stilul choro.

Dans
În sfera artei dansului Portugalia a avut succes la începutul anilor 1990, iar împreună cu Rusia printre cele mai importante țări din Europa în acest domeniu. Numeroși dansatori și coregrafi au putut obține faima în întreaga Europă sau în întreaga lume: Rui Horta, João Fiadeiro, Clara Andermatt. Adesea au fost introduse forme moderne și inovatoare, dezvoltând noi stiluri. Portugalia este implicată în mod regulat la formarea tinerilor dansatori. Cultura dansului în Portugalia este denumită ca Nova Dança Portuguesa.

Arhitectură
Stilurile arhitecturale cuprind aproape toate perioadele din istoria artei europene. Mănăstiri, biserici, cetăți, palate și instituții guvernamentale au fost adesea construite după stiluri predominante europene spre exemplu gotic sau neoclasic. Arhitectul Álvaro Siza Vieira obține Premiul Pritzker, ca și compatriotul său Eduardo Souto de Moura. Alți arhitecți binecunoscuți au fost sau sunt Raoul Mesnier du Ponsard, Miguel Ventura Terra, Tomas Taveira.

În ce privește decorarea construcțiilor, Portugaliei i se datorează în principal stilul manuelin și azulejo, o notă proprie și națională.

Festivaluri populare
În luna iunie au loc în toată Portugalia festivaluri în cinstea celor trei sfinți (Santos Populares). Acești trei sfinți sunt Antonius, João și Petrus. Se sărbătorește cu vin, água-pé (must), pâine tradițională cu sardine, parade stradale și dansuri, nunți, foc și focuri de artificii precum și multă bună dispoziție.

Santo António se sărbătorește în noaptea de 12 spre 13 iunie, în special în Lisabona (unde acest sfânt s-a născut și a trăit), unde are loc un gen de carnaval de stradă (Marchas Populares). În aceste zile au loc nunți, Casamentos de Santo António. Cel mai popular sfânt este São João (Sfântul Ioan), pentru care, de Nașterea Sfântului Ioan Botezătorul, se sărbătorește în special în Porto și Braga, unde există sardine și Caldo Verde (o supă tradițională). În onoarea lui São Pedro (Sfântul Petru) se sărbătorește pe 28 și 29 iunie, în special în Póvoa de Varzim și Barcelos, unde aceste festivaluri sunt dedicate mării. Totodată au loc focuri (fogeiras) și un carnaval pe străzi.

Draco Malfoy, J.K. Rowling'in yazdığı fantastik romanlar dizisi, Harry Potter serisinde yer alan kurgusal karakterdir.

Draco, şu ana kadar seride belirtilen tüm Malfoylar gibi Slytherin'dendir. Soluk bir yüzü, açık sarı saçları ve soğuk gri bakışları olan biri olarak anlatılır.

Draco Malfoy, çok zengin bir ailenin çocuğudur. Annesi ve babası tarafından tek çocuk olduğu için biraz şımartılmıştır,davranışları ve karanlık sanatlara ilgisi ve safkanlık takıntısından dolayı Harry Potter arkadaşları ile hiçbir zaman anlaşmamıştır. Hogwarts'ta alışık olduğu ilgiyi bulamayınca istemediği kadar ilgi gösterilen Harry Potter'ı zamanla düşman edinir. Sürekli Harry'le rekabet eder ve kıskançlığı başına sürekli işler açar. Lord Voldemort'tan aslında hoşlanmaz, ancak ondan korkar, çünkü eğer onun emirlerine uymaz ise o ve ailesi öldürülecektir. Bu yüzden onun emirlerine uymaya çalışır. Albus Dumbledore onun karşısında yalnız, savunmasız ve asasız olmasına rağmen o, Dumbledore'u öldürmek istememiştir.

Draco Hogwarts'daki 6. yılında ölüm yiyen olan babası Azkaban'a atıldıktan sonra Lord Voldemort tarafından ölüm yiyen olarak görevlendirilmiştir. Karanlık Lord'un  yaşı bir ölüm yiyene göre küçük olan Draco'yu seçmesinin amacı, babası Lucius Malfoy'a Harry Potter ve kendisi (Voldemort) hakkındaki kehaneti elde edememesinden dolayı son derece kızgın olması ve Draco'ya verdiği zor görevi yerine getiremeyeceğinden emin olmasıdır. Draco'ya verilen görevler, son derece güçlü bir şekilde korunan Hogwarts'a gizlice bir grup ölüm yiyen sokmak ve bizzat Albus Dumbledore'u öldürmektir. Bunu Voldemort'un kendisi bile yapamamıştır. Ancak Draco, kendisinden beklenmeyen bir başarıyla okula bir grup Ölüm Yiyen sokar, Albus Dumbledore'u bulur ve onu silahsızlandırır (bu sayede Mürver Asa'nın asıl sahibi olur). Bu arada Dumbledore onun aslında bunu yapmak istemediği bildiğini, ailesini korumak için bunu yapmasına gerek olmadığını, iyi tarafa geçerlerse tehlike altında olamayacaklarını söyler ve tam Draco asasını indirdiği sırada Ölüm Yiyenler, ardından ise Severus Snape gelir ve (daha önceden Dumbledore'la aralarında yaptıkları gizli plan doğrultusunda) Avada Kedavra laneti uygulayarak Albus Dumbledore'u öldürür. Draco, Severus Snape ve ölüm yiyenlerin de dahil olduğu grupla üzere okuldan kaçar. Hogwarts Savaşı sırasında Harry Potter ve arkadaşları, iki kere Draco'nun hayatını kurtarır. Savaş sonunda Draco Malfoy ve anne babası iyilere geçmiştir.

7. kitabın sonunda evlenmiştir. Eşi Astoria Greengrass'dır. Scorpius adlı bir oğlu vardır.

Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter film serisinin tümünde Thomas Andrew Felton tarafından canlandırılmaktadır. Türkiye'de Melih Bozkurt seslendirmektedir.

 Ailesi
Çok zengin bir ailelerdir. Wiltshire'da otururlar. Safkan ailelerden biridir. Bir ara karanlık lorda hizmet etmişlerdir.Hogwarts savaşı sırasında karanlık tarafta yer almışlardır. Savaştan sonra iyilere geçmiştir. Lucius Malfoy bir ölüm yiyendir, ancak sonra iyilere geçmiştir. Oğulları Draco Hogwarts'a gitmektedir ve Harry ile hep kavga ederdi. Dobby adında ev cinleri vardır, ancak Dobby sonra Harry Potter ' a hizmet eder. İlk olarak adları Felsefe Taşı'nda geçmiştir. Binaları Slytherin'dir. Draco 7.Kitabın sonunda Astoria Greengrass ile evlenir ve Scorpius adında çocukları olur. Ailenin üyeleri: Draco Malfoy, Lucius Malfoy, Narcissa Malfoy.

 İsminin kökeni

Draco'nun adı Atina'nın katı kurallarını yazan ilk kanun yapıcısı Dracoya bir referans olabilir. Bunun yanında Malfoy'un isminin kaynağı büyük bir olasılıkla ismin Latince'deki anlamıdır. Latince'de "ejderha" ya da "yılan" anlamına gelen Draco, aynı zamanda bir takım yıldızının adıdır. Malfoy'un adının bir takım yıldızının arkasından verilmesi oldukça olasıdır çünkü köklerini oluşturan Black ailesinde yeni doğan çocuklara takım yıldızlarından ad seçme geleneği bulunmaktaydı. Malfoy ise Fransızca kötü kalpli kader'' anlamına gelen "mal foi" ya da "mal foy"dan gelmektedir.
