Bridget Rowe (born 16 March 1950) is a former newspaper editor in the United Kingdom.

Rowe worked for a succession of magazines: 19, Petticoat, Club, Look Now and Woman's World, before becoming Assistant Editor of The Sun, then editor of "Sunday", the News of the World's magazine. In 1986, Rowe became editor of Woman's Own, then edited TV Times.

Rowe edited the Sunday Mirror from 1991 to 1992, then moved to edit The People. In 1995, she became managing director of both newspapers, and in 1997 she returned to editing the Sunday Mirror for a year. After this, she served as the Director of Communications for the National Magazine Company, and later was the content director of Yava, until 2001. She was a panelist on the first series of Loose Women in 1999.

A friend of United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) leader Nigel Farage, Rowe registered as the leader of Libertas UK with the United Kingdom Electoral Commission in December 2008, in order to prevent Declan Ganley's political party Libertas from fielding candidates in the UK's European Parliament elections in 2009 under that name.

A band society is the simplest form of human society. A band generally consists of a small kin group, no larger than an extended family or clan; it has been defined as consisting of no more than 30 to 50 individuals.

Bands have a loose organization. Their power structure is often egalitarian and has informal leadership; the older members of the band generally are looked to for guidance and advice, and decisions are often made on a consensus basis, but there are no written laws and none of the specialised coercive roles (e.g., police) typically seen in more complex societies. Bands' customs are almost always transmitted orally. Formal social institutions are few or non-existent. Religion is generally based on family tradition, individual experience, or counsel from a shaman. All known band societies hunt and gather to obtain their subsistence.

In his 1972 study, The Notion of the Tribe, Morton Fried defined bands as small, mobile, and fluid social formations with weak leadership that do not generate surpluses, pay taxes or support a standing army.

Aaron Hoffman (30 October 1880, St. Louis, Missouri - 27 May 1944) was an American screenwriter^{[citation needed]} and prominent vaudeville comedian.

While most of his scripts and scenarios were written earlier in his career for silent film, Hoffman wrote for over 30 films between 1914 and 1942.

He wrote for films such as Beloved Rogues in 1916. His play Two Blocks Away was adapted into the 1926 film The Cohens and Kellys, the first of the six-film Cohens and Kellys franchise.

Like other forms of cultural expression in the early twentieth century, humor became the subject of sharp altercation. Aaron Hoffman, a leading vaudeville comedian, represents the "new" humor. His monologue, below, was the most famous of its time. Designed to be extemporaneously updated with current material, the piece enjoyed a long life on the stage.
