Malone (river)

Malone is a 48-kilometre (30 mi) long stream (torrente) of Piedmont, in north-western Italy. It is a left side tributary of the river Po which flows through the Canavese.

Geography

The river’s source is at Monte Soglio from which it falls quickly and rapidly through the communes of Corio, Rocca Canavese, Barbania and Front (TO), growing in force as it receives contributions from streams descending from the Riserva Naturale della Vauda nature reserve on its right bank.The Malone then runs past Rivarossa, Lombardore, San Benigno Canavese then arrives at Brandizzo (near Chivasso) where it enters the Po.

Regime

The Italian word torrente, translated as torrent, or stream, refers to a river in which the flow is subject to a wide and broadly predictable seasonal variation. Torrents often dry up in summer.

The Malone in full flood, however, can be genuinely “torrential” in the normal English sense of the word. The mean discharge of around 7 cubic metres per second (250 cu ft/s) can increase a hundredfold and cause great damage, as happened in the flood of October 2000.

Malone (film)

Malone is a 1987 American film adaptation of William P. Wingate's novel, written by Christopher Frank, directed by Harley Cokeliss, and stars Burt Reynolds, Cliff Robertson and Lauren Hutton.

Plot

A floatplane navigates through the Pacific Northwest, landing in Puget Sound. As the well-dressed passenger emerges, ex-CIA agent Richard Malone targets him in his crosshairs, but he is unable to pull the trigger. He burns his Maryland driver's license and heads inland. His Mustang breaks down in a rural Oregon valley. He manages to push it to Mountain Service station, owned by Paul Barlow who runs the station with his 17-year-old daughter Jo. Barlow suggests the fastest way to repair the car is to tow it 60 miles to a larger service station. Malone opts to stay and wait for the necessary parts to arrive. Paul invites Malone to stay in the spare room.

The next day, Jo snoops and finds through Malone's property including his gun. Malone helps Paul with his repair work and quickly sizes up the town, which is under the thumb of Charles Delaney, who buys up all the property he can and forces people to sell to him, when they first refuse. One day, as Malone walks Jo home from the bus stop, a group of Delaney's thugs harass Jo and refuse to let the couple proceed. Malone severely beats the ringleader, Dan Bollard, sending him to the hospital. Dan's brother, Calvin is goaded into killing Malone by Delaney's main henchman Madrid, but Malone kills Calvin instead.

Post (Paul Kelly album)

Post is the first solo album by Australian singer-songwriter rock musician, Paul Kelly. Kelly had moved to Sydney by January 1985, after leaving his Melbourne-based Paul Kelly Band and the breakup of his marriage to Hilary Brown.

The album was produced by Clive Shakespeare (Sherbet guitarist) and Kelly, and was released in May 1985 by the independent White Records label, leased to Mushroom Records. The album failed to chart in Australia, with only one single, "From St Kilda to Kings Cross", released in April which also failed to chart. The name of the album, Post relates to both being 'after' significant changes in Kelly's life and to the sense of a 'signpost' to future directions. Kelly dedicated the album to Paul Hewson, keyboardist and songwriter for New Zealand/Australian band Dragon who had died of a heroin overdose in January. Kelly has described Post as a concept album dealing with addictions - not necessarily heroin addiction - but various forms, he has also denied that the songs were autobiographical but that he wrote about the world around him.

Post (comics)

Post is a fictional character and mutant in the Marvel Comics universe. His first appearance was in X-Men v2, #50.

Fictional character biography

Kevin Tremain was a mutant captured and studied by the Mandarin. On a secret mission, the Six Pack attacked the secret base Tremain was held in. Tremain was mortally injured; Cable tried to save his life, first by using his telekinesis to keep Tremain's body together, and finally by giving him a blood transfusion. Although it seems he survived this trauma, Cable seemed to think Tremain had later died.

Years later, Tremain resurfaced as Post, the lowest of Onslaught's emissaries. Onslaught forced Gateway to teleport Cyclops, Storm, Iceman, and Wolverine to where Post could "test" them. The four managed to defeat Post and were transported back to the Mansion. Later, Post attacked Cable, who instantly recognized his identity as Tremain. Post defeated Cable and left him for the Hulk to finish off. Post was later charged with ensuring the Sentinels would launch, he battled X-Factor with them and succeeded protecting the Sentinels. He and his master Onslaught were eventually defeated by the heroes.

Congratulations: 50 Years of the Eurovision Song Contest

Congratulations: 50 Years of the Eurovision Song Contest was a television programme organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) to commemorate the Eurovision Song Contest's fiftieth anniversary and to determine the Contest's most popular entrant of its fifty years. It took place at Forum, Copenhagen on 22 October 2005. The host broadcaster was Danmarks Radio (DR). Fourteen songs from the Contest's first half-century, chosen through an internet poll and by a jury, contested the event. Thirty-one EBU-member countries broadcast the concert (although the United Kingdom, Italy and France did not) and televoting and juries in these countries decided the winner. 2.5 million votes were cast in total on the night.

The event was hosted by Katrina Leskanich and Renārs Kaupers. The event was won by Swedish group ABBA, performing "Waterloo"; the band had originally won the Contest for Sweden in 1974.

To coincide with the event, the EBU released two CDs featuring Eurovision songs from the previous fifty years. Two DVDs with original Eurovision performances of these songs were also released.
