text: On 10 May 2019, the EFCC arrested Naira Marley and his friends Zlatan, Tiamiu Kayode, Adewunmi Moses, Micheal "Taqueesh" Adenuga and Abubakar Musa. The arrest was made a day after Marley released the video for the controversial single "Am I A Yahoo Boy". Five days later, the EFCC released Zlatan and three others but kept Marley in custody due to the evidence against him. On 16 May 2019, the EFCC charged him with 11 counts of fraud before a Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos. On 19 May 2019, Zlatan released the single "4 Nights In Ekohtiebo" while Marley was still in prison. In it, he talks about his industry friends, foes and other people who he admired and how they came through for him. In May 2019, Marley was arraigned before the Federal High Court and pleaded not guilty; a bail hearing was set for 30 May 2019. On the day of the bail hearing, Marley released "Why", a song that was accompanied by an image of him in handcuffs. On 14 June 2019, he was released from jail 14 days after being granted ₦2,000,000 bail. A few days later, he released "Soapy", a track about the sexual habits of inmates in detention.

The posts featured pictures and videos of rapper Mohbad with noticeable injuries. which necessitated hospitalization. But reacting to the allegation, Naira Marley, though, responded to the accusation by calling the incident a "family affair. "The singer claimed that Mohbad was likely "high" (drunk) when making the complaint as a response to the situation in an Instagram live video.


title: Classical order

text: An order in architecture is a certain assemblage of parts subject to uniform established proportions, regulated by the office that each part has to perform.


title: Classical order

text: Coming down to the present from Ancient Greek and Ancient Roman civilization, the architectural orders are the styles of classical architecture, each distinguished by its proportions and characteristic profiles and details, and most readily recognizable by the type of column employed. The three orders of architecture—the Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian—originated in Greece. To these the Romans added, in practice if not in name, the Tuscan, which they made simpler than Doric, and the Composite, which was more ornamental than the Corinthian. The architectural order of a classical building is akin to the mode or key of classical music; the grammar or rhetoric of a written composition. It is established by certain "modules" like the intervals of music, and it raises certain expectations in an audience attuned to its language.


title: Classical order

text: Whereas the orders were essentially structural in Ancient Greek architecture, which made little use of the arch until its late period, in Roman architecture where the arch was often dominant, the orders became increasingly decorative elements except in porticos and similar uses. Columns shrank into half-columns emerging from walls or turned into pilasters. This treatment continued after the conscious and "correct" use of the orders, initially following exclusively Roman models, returned in the Italian Renaissance. Greek Revival architecture, inspired by increasing knowledge of Greek originals, returned to more authentic models, including ones from relatively early periods.


title: Classical order

text: Each style has distinctive capitals at the top of columns and horizontal entablatures which it supports, while the rest of the building does not in itself vary between the orders. The column shaft and base also varies with the order, and is sometimes articulated with vertical hollow grooves known as fluting. The shaft is wider at the bottom than at the top, because its entasis, beginning a third of the way up, imperceptibly makes the column slightly more slender at the top, although some Doric columns, especially early Greek ones, are visibly "flared", with straight profiles that narrow going up the shaft.


title: Classical order

text: The capital rests on the shaft. It has a load-bearing function, which concentrates the weight of the entablature on the supportive column, but it primarily serves an aesthetic purpose. The necking is the continuation of the shaft, but is visually separated by one or many grooves. The echinus lies atop the necking. It is a circular block that bulges outwards towards the top to support the abacus, which is a square or shaped block that in turn supports the entablature. The entablature consists of three horizontal layers, all of which are visually separated from each other using moldings or bands. In Roman and post-Renaissance work, the entablature may be carried from column to column in the form of an arch that springs from the column that bears its weight, retaining its divisions and sculptural enrichment, if any. There are names for all the many parts of the orders.


title: Classical order

text: The height of columns are calculated in terms of a ratio between the diameter of the shaft at its base and the height of the column. A Doric column can be described as seven diameters high, an Ionic column as eight diameters high, and a Corinthian column nine diameters high, although the actual ratios used vary considerably in both ancient and revived examples, but keeping to the trend of increasing slimness between the orders. Sometimes this is phrased as "lower diameters high", to establish which part of the shaft has been measured.


title: Classical order

text: There are three distinct orders in Ancient Greek architecture: Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. These three were adopted by the Romans, who modified their capitals. The Roman adoption of the Greek orders took place in the 1st century BC. The three ancient Greek orders have since been consistently used in European Neoclassical architecture.


title: Classical order

text: Sometimes the Doric order is considered the earliest order, but there is no evidence to support this. Rather, the Doric and Ionic orders seem to have appeared at around the same time, the Ionic in eastern Greece and the Doric in the west and mainland.


title: Classical order

text: Both the Doric and the Ionic order appear to have originated in wood. The Temple of Hera in Olympia is the oldest well-preserved temple of Doric architecture. It was built just after 600 BC. The Doric order later spread across Greece and into Sicily, where it was the chief order for monumental architecture for 800 years. Early Greeks were no doubt aware of the use of stone columns with bases and capitals in ancient Egyptian architecture, and that of other Near Eastern cultures, although there they were mostly used in interiors, rather than as a dominant feature of all or part of exteriors, in the Greek style.


title: Classical order

text: The Doric order originated on the mainland and western Greece. It is the simplest of the orders, characterized by short, organized, heavy columns with plain, round capitals (tops) and no base. With a height that is only four to eight times its diameter, the columns are the most squat of all orders. The shaft of the Doric order is channeled with 20 flutes. The capital consists of a necking or annulet, which is a simple ring. The echinus is convex, or circular cushion like stone, and the abacus is square slab of stone.


title: Classical order

text: Above the capital is a square abacus connecting the capital to the entablature. The entablature is divided into three horizontal registers, the lower part of which is either smooth or divided by horizontal lines. The upper half is distinctive for the Doric order. The frieze of the Doric entablature is divided into triglyphs and metopes. A triglyph is a unit consisting of three vertical bands which are separated by grooves. Metopes are the plain or carved reliefs between two triglyphs.


title: Classical order

text: The Greek forms of the Doric order come without an individual base. They instead are placed directly on the stylobate. Later forms, however, came with the conventional base consisting of a plinth and a torus. The Roman versions of the Doric order have smaller proportions. As a result, they appear lighter than the Greek orders.


title: Classical order

text: The Ionic order came from eastern Greece, where its origins are entwined with the similar but little known Aeolic order. It is distinguished by slender, fluted pillars with a large base and two opposed volutes (also called "scrolls") in the echinus of the capital. The echinus itself is decorated with an egg-and-dart motif. The Ionic shaft comes with four more flutes than the Doric counterpart (totalling 24). The Ionic base has two convex moldings called "tori", which are separated by a scotia.


title: Classical order

text: The Ionic order is also marked by an entasis, a curved tapering in the column shaft. A column of the Ionic order is nine times its lower diameter. The shaft itself is eight diameters high. The architrave of the entablature commonly consists of three stepped bands ("fasciae"). The frieze comes without the Doric triglyph and metope. The frieze sometimes comes with a continuous ornament such as carved figures instead.


title: Classical order

text: The Corinthian order is the most elaborated of the Greek orders, characterized by a slender fluted column having an ornate capital decorated with two rows of acanthus leaves and four scrolls. The shaft of the Corinthian order has 24 flutes. The column is commonly ten diameters high.


title: Classical order

text: The Roman writer Vitruvius credited the invention of the Corinthian order to Callimachus, a Greek sculptor of the 5th century BC. The oldest known building built according to this order is the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates in Athens, constructed from 335 to 334 BC. The Corinthian order was raised to rank by the writings of Vitruvius in the 1st century BC.


title: Classical order

text: The Romans adapted all the Greek orders and also developed two orders of their own, basically modifications of Greek orders. However, it was not until the Renaissance that these were named and formalized as the Tuscan and Composite, respectively the plainest and most ornate of the orders. The Romans also invented the Superposed order. A superposed order is when successive stories of a building have different orders. The heaviest orders were at the bottom, whilst the lightest came at the top. This means that the Doric order was the order of the ground floor, the Ionic order was used for the middle story, while the Corinthian or the Composite order was used for the top story.


title: Classical order

text: The Giant order was invented by architects in the Renaissance. The Giant order is characterized by columns that extend the height of two or more stories.


title: Classical order

text: The Tuscan order has a very plain design, with a plain shaft, and a simple capital, base, and frieze. It is a simplified adaptation of the Doric order by the Greeks. The Tuscan order is characterized by an unfluted shaft and a capital that only consists of an echinus and an abacus. In proportions it is similar to the Doric order, but overall it is significantly plainer. The column is normally seven diameters high. Compared to the other orders, the Tuscan order looks the most solid.


title: Classical order

text: The Composite order is a mixed order, combining the volutes of the Ionic with the leaves of the Corinthian order. Until the Renaissance it was not ranked as a separate order. Instead it was considered as a late Roman form of the Corinthian order. The column of the Composite order is typically ten diameters high.


title: Classical order

text: The Renaissance period saw renewed interest in the literary sources of the ancient cultures of Greece and Rome, and the fertile development of a new architecture based on classical principles. The treatise "De architectura" by Roman theoretician, architect and engineer Vitruvius, is the only architectural writing that survived from Antiquity. Rediscovered in the 15th century, Vitruvius was instantly hailed as the authority on architecture. However, in his text the word "order" is not to be found. To describe the four species of columns (he only mentions: Tuscan, Doric, Ionic and Corinthian) he uses, in fact, various words such as: "genus" (gender), "mos" (habit, fashion, manner), "opera" (work).


title: Classical order

text: The term "order", as well as the idea of redefining the "canon" started circulating in Rome, at the beginning of the 16th century, probably during the studies of Vitruvius' text conducted and shared by Peruzzi, Raphael, and Sangallo.


title: Classical order

text: Ever since, the definition of the "canon" has been a collective endeavor that involved several generations of European architects, from Renaissance and Baroque periods, basing their theories both on the study of Vitruvius' writings and the observation of Roman ruins (the Greek ruins became available only after Greek Independence, 1821–23). What was added were rules for the use of the Architectural Orders, and the exact proportions of them down to the most minute detail. Commentary on the appropriateness of the orders for temples devoted to particular deities (Vitruvius I.2.5) were elaborated by Renaissance theorists, with Doric characterized as bold and manly, Ionic as matronly, and Corinthian as maidenly.


title: Classical order

text: Following the examples of Vitruvius and the five books of the "Regole generali di architettura sopra le cinque maniere de gli edifici" by Sebastiano Serlio published from 1537 onwards, Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola produced an architecture rule book that was not only more practical than the previous two treatises, but also was systematically and consistently adopting, for the first time, the term 'order' to define each of the five different species of columns inherited from antiquity. A first publication of the various plates, as separate sheets, appeared in Rome in 1562, with the title: "Regola delli cinque ordini d'architettura" ("Canon of the Five Orders of Architecture"). As David Watkin has pointed out, Vignola's book "was to have an astonishing publishing history of over 500 editions in 400 years in ten languages, Italian, Dutch, English, Flemish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, during which it became perhaps the most influential book of all times".


title: Classical order

text: The book consisted simply of an introduction followed by 32 annotated plates, highlighting the proportional system with all the minute details of the Five Architectural Orders. According to Christof Thoenes, the main expert of Renaissance architectural treatises, "in accordance with Vitruvius’s example, Vignola chose a "module" equal to a half-diameter which is the base of the system. All the other measurements are expressed in fractions or in multiples of this module. The result is an arithmetical model, and with its help each order, harmoniously proportioned, can easily be adapted to any given height, of a façade or an interior. From this point of view, Vignola's Regola is a remarkable intellectual achievement".


title: Classical order

text: In America, "The American Builder's Companion", written in the early 19th century by the architect Asher Benjamin, influenced many builders in the eastern states, particularly those who developed what became known as the Federal style. The last American re-interpretation of Vignola's "Regola", was edited in 1904 by William Robert Ware.


title: Classical order

text: The break from the classical mode came first with the Gothic Revival architecture, then the development of modernism during the 19th century. The Bauhaus promoted pure functionalism, stripped of superfluous ornament, and that has become one of the defining characteristics of modern architecture. There are some exceptions. Postmodernism introduced an ironic use of the orders as a cultural reference, divorced from the strict rules of composition. On the other hand, a number of practitioners such as Quinlan Terry in England, and Michael Dwyer, Richard Sammons, and Duncan Stroik in the United States, continue the classical tradition, and use the classical orders in their work.


title: Classical order

text: Several orders, usually based upon the composite order and only varying in the design of the capitals, have been invented under the inspiration of specific occasions, but have not been used again. They are termed ""nonce orders"" by analogy to "nonce words"; several examples follow below.


title: Classical order

text: These nonce orders all express the “speaking architecture” ("architecture parlante") that was taught in the Paris courses, most explicitly by Étienne-Louis Boullée, in which sculptural details of classical architecture could be enlisted to speak symbolically, the better to express the purpose of the structure and enrich its visual meaning with specific appropriateness. This idea was taken up strongly in the training of Beaux-Arts architecture, .


title: Classical order

text: The Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles contains pilasters with bronze capitals in the "French order". Designed by Charles Le Brun, the capitals display the national emblems of the Kingdom of France: the royal sun between two Gallic roosters above a fleur-de-lis.


title: Classical order

text: Robert Adam's brother James was in Rome in 1762, drawing antiquities under the direction of Clérisseau; he invented a "British order" and published an engraving of it. Its capital the heraldic lion and unicorn take the place of the Composite's volutes, a Byzantine or Romanesque conception, but expressed in terms of neoclassical realism. Adam's ink-and-wash rendering with red highlighting is at the Avery Library, Columbia University.


title: Classical order

text: In 1789 George Dance invented an Ammonite order, a variant of Ionic, substituting volutes in the form of fossil ammonites for John Boydell's Shakespeare Gallery in Pall Mall, London.


title: Classical order

text: An adaptation of the Corinthian order by William Donthorne that used turnip leaves and mangelwurzel is termed the Agricultural order.


title: Classical order

text: Sir Edwin Lutyens, who from 1912 laid out New Delhi as the new seat of government for the British Empire in India, designed a Delhi order having a capital displaying a band of vertical ridges, and with bells hanging at each corner as a replacement for volutes. His design for the new city's central palace, Viceroy's House, now the Presidential residence Rashtrapati Bhavan, was a thorough integration of elements of Indian architecture into a building of classical forms and proportions, and made use of the order throughout. The Delhi Order reappears in some later Lutyens buildings including Campion Hall, Oxford.


title: Classical order

text: In the United States Benjamin Latrobe, the architect of the Capitol building in Washington DC, designed a series of botanical American orders. Most famous is the Corinthian order substituting corncobs and their husks for the acanthus leaves, which was executed by Giuseppe Franzoni and employed in the small domed vestibule of the Supreme Court. Only the Supreme Court survived the fire of 24 August 1814, nearly intact.


title: Classical order

text: With peace restored, Latrobe designed an American order that substituted tobacco leaves for the acanthus, of which he sent a sketch to Thomas Jefferson in a letter, 5 November 1816. He was encouraged to send a model of it, which remains at Monticello. In the 1830s Alexander Jackson Davis admired it enough to make a drawing of it. In 1809 Latrobe invented a second American order, employing magnolia flowers constrained within the profile of classical mouldings, as his drawing demonstrates. It was intended for "the Upper Columns in the Gallery of the Entrance of the Chamber of the Senate" ().


title: Ng Man-tat

text: Richard Ng Man-tat (, 2 January 1952 – 27 February 2021) was a Hong Kong actor originally from Fujian. He was a veteran actor in the Hong Kong film industry, with dozens of awards, including Best Supporting Actor at the 10th Hong Kong Film Awards for his role in "A Moment of Romance". Ng was best known for his comedic roles and was a versatile actor with many memorable performances throughout his career.


title: Ng Man-tat

text: Richard Ng Man-tat was born in Xiamen, Fujian, on 2 January 1952. He had an older sister and two younger brothers. Ng's family migrated to Hong Kong when he was five. The family relied on his father's monthly income of to survive. Ng studied at Aberdeen Technical School, where he took a mechanical course to help provide for the family.


title: Ng Man-tat

text: Ng noticed TVB's "Chinese Folklore", which had an actor, Lin Wei Tu (), who was Ng's coworker at the factory where he was working. Ng thought he met the requirements of being an actor and signed up for TVB's acting classes in 1973. In 1974, he graduated fifth in his batch of trainees, alongside veteran actor Chow Yun-fat, and debuted when he was 22. He was one of the seven from his batch to sign an acting contract with TVB.


title: Ng Man-tat

text: Ng's breakout film was the 1979 edition of the television series "Chor Lau-heung" in which he played Wu Tit-fa. This role allowed him to become one of the more sought-after actors of that time. However, he became caught up in the fame and fortune that he gained, and starting gambling. By 1980, he owed to loan sharks and was declared bankrupt. TVB then minimised his appearances. Ng wanted to borrow money from his friends, including Chow, but he was turned away by them, and then considered suicide as a possible recourse. After some consideration, Ng decided to restudy and improve his acting skills, reading up on Konstantin Stanislavski's "An Actor Prepares" and Zheng Junli's "The Birth of a Role" (角色的誕生). To pay off his debts, two-thirds of Ng's salary was used for repayments. While repaying his debts, Ng was cast in 1981's "", in which his efforts were recognised, thus enabling him to continue acting in films and television series. The debts were paid off by 1984.


title: Ng Man-tat

text: In 1985, Ng acted in the television series "Police Cadet '84" which was well-received by local television audiences, and allowed his peers in the industry to re-evaluate him in a positive manner. He began to receive new work at a more consistent rate. In 1988, Ng began to co-star with Stephen Chow with their first TVB television series together, "The Final Combat", and also the popular 1990 film "All for the Winner", where he played the role of Chow's uncle. From then on, the two collaborated in numerous "mo lei tau" films in the same style as "All for the Winner". He was best known for co-starring with Chow in comedy films that broke Hong Kong box office charts in the 1990s.


title: Ng Man-tat

text: Through 1991, Ng carried a grudge against Chow Yun-fat for not lending him money. When Ng won the Best Supporting Actor award at the 10th Hong Kong Film Awards for "A Moment of Romance", he openly snubbed Chow. Benny Chan, the director of "A Moment of Romance", then revealed to Ng that it was on Chow's recommendation that Ng had gotten the role for the film. Chow also had similarly assisted him to get the role for "Heroic Cops". Chow said that he didn't want to lend money to him as he feared that it would turn into a form of reliance, making it harder for Ng to recover from his gambling habit. Both Ng and Chow reconciled thereafter.


title: Ng Man-tat

text: Although Ng owed much of his popularity to co-starring in comedy films, he showed himself to be a versatile actor in successfully portraying various roles. An example of such was in his portrayal of Sister 13's father in "Portland Street Blues", where he played a man who could not feel anything but abuse and rejection. It proved to be the perfect complement to his usual "mo lei tau" style with Chow. He also played Andy Lau's sidekick in the "Lee Rock" series in a more serious role, which won him Best Supporting Actor at the 10th Hong Kong Film Awards. In Hong Kong, Ng was often known as "Uncle Tat", a nickname most likely derived from his role as Stephen Chow's sidekick (often as his uncle) in their films. Ng was sometimes credited as Richard Ng.


title: Ng Man-tat

text: In 2001, Ng and Stephen Chow collaborated for the last time in "Shaolin Soccer". In 2006 Ng starred in the Taiwanese drama "The Hospital" as Tang Guotai (), a professor and director of surgery. He was subsequently nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the 42nd Golden Bell Awards in 2007.


title: Ng Man-tat

text: In 2019, Ng starred in the science fiction film "The Wandering Earth," in which he played the grandfather of the male lead. Ng nearly rejected the role as he believed that the Chinese film industry was not fit to make science fiction movies, and he had to undergo heart surgery at the time. During the filming, he had to bear the weight of a spacesuit while still recovering from his heart failure in 2014.


title: Ng Man-tat

text: Ng married Mak Lee Lee, a Hong Kong artist, in 1976. They met during a TVB training class. Mak gave birth to twin daughters. After Ng's gambling debts had risen to , Mak filed for a divorce which was granted in 1994. While Ng and Mak were still married, Ng cohabited with Lo Siu Chi (卢少慈), also a Hong Kong artist, and had a daughter together. In 1993, while Ng was filming "All's Well, Ends Well Too" in Singapore, he met Hou Shanyan (侯珊燕), a Malaysian beauty pageant runner-up and artist. Ng married Hou in 1996, and they had a daughter and son. He lived with his family in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, until shortly before his death, when he asked to spend time in Hong Kong.


title: Ng Man-tat

text: Ng was admitted to the hospital in 2014 for heart failure due to a viral infection. After this incident, Ng had a will drawn up. From that point, he remained in poor health. In February 2021, he confirmed that he suffered from liver cancer and had been undergoing chemotherapy and rest and recuperation, but his condition had turned critical.


title: Ng Man-tat

text: Ng died in his sleep on 27 February 2021 at Tai Wai's Union Hospital at the age of 69 due to liver cancer.


title: Santiago de los Caballeros

text: Santiago de los Caballeros (; '), often shortened to Santiago, is the second-largest city in the Dominican Republic and the fourth-largest city in the Caribbean by population. It is the capital of Santiago Province and the largest major metropolis in the Cibao region of the country, it is also the largest non-coastal metropolis in the Caribbean islands. The city has a total population of 1,173,015 inhabitants. Santiago is located approximately northwest of the capital Santo Domingo with an average altitude of 178 meters (584 ft).


title: Santiago de los Caballeros

text: Founded in 1495 during the first wave of European settlement in the New World, the city is the "first Santiago of the Americas". Today it is one of the Dominican Republic's cultural, political, industrial and financial centers. Due to its location in the fertile Cibao Valley it has a robust agricultural sector and is a leading exporter of rum, textiles, and cigars. Santiago is known as "La Ciudad Corazón" (the "Heartland City").


title: Santiago de los Caballeros

text: Santiago de los Caballeros has historically been the capital of the country, and was an important strategic city in the Dominican War of Independence. The name of the city, Saint James of the Knights, refers to the Hidalgos de la Isabela, a group of knights who had come from La Isabela city to stay in Santiago. Sometimes the city is called Santiago de los 30 Caballeros ("English: Saint James of the 30 Knights").


title: Santiago de los Caballeros

text: The name of the city (Saint James of the Knights) refers to the Hidalgos de la Isabela, a group of knights who had come from La Isabela to settle in Santiago. The colony originally was located in the town of San Francisco de Jacagua (now a suburb of the city) which was founded in 1495, but when it was destroyed by an earthquake it was moved to its current location in 1506. In granting in 1508 the Royal Privilege of Concession de Armas to the Villa de Santiago of Hispaniola, the heraldic emblem that was included in his shield was venerated. The royal decree signed by King Ferdinand as administrator of the kingdoms of his daughter Joanna I of Castile.


title: Santiago de los Caballeros

text: The city was devastated by another earthquake on December 2, 1562. The survivors settled on land belonging to Petronila Jáquez of Minaya, adjacent to the Yaque del Norte, which is the current location of the city's river. The domination of the French during the Peace of Basel (which yielded the Spanish part of the island to France in 1795) left its mark on Santiago. During this era Santiago began its modern urban planning. European neoclassicism is represented at the Palace Hall, built between 1892 and 1895, by a Belgian architect named Louis Bogaert. The late 1800s saw a peak of architecture in the city. Numerous residences were built in European styles, which make up the central core of Santiago.


title: Santiago de los Caballeros

text: Santiago de los Caballeros is located on a hilly terrain in the middle of the Cibao Valley in the Central Region of the Dominican Republic, one of the most fertile lands found in the island. The Yaque del Norte River passes by Santiago which is in between the Cordillera Central and the Cordillera Septentrional, two of the three major mountain ranges on the island of Hispaniola, forming the Cibao Valley.


title: Santiago de los Caballeros

text: Santiago features a tropical wet and dry climate under the Köppen climate classification. The average temperature varies little in the city, because the tropical trade winds help mitigate the heat and humidity throughout the year. December and January are the coolest months and July and August are the warmest. Santiago and the rest of the country are in the Caribbean and have a tropical climate, which, when coupled with the city's altitude, 183 meters above sea level, causes cloudy conditions to persist through much of the year. While the city lies within the Hurricane belt, Santiago is more sheltered than other parts of the country from hurricanes because of its location in the Cibao Valley.


title: Santiago de los Caballeros

text: Santiago's economy is mainly based by the commercialization and industrialization of its products and finished goods, production of goods in the free zones, and by commerce. The city has headquarters and branches of all the main stores, supermarkets, restaurants and financial entities of the country. The city also has several shopping centers and multinational companies.


title: Santiago de los Caballeros

text: Since it is the second-largest city in the Dominican Republic, it currently produces the second highest percentage of the nation's GDP, while also having one of the highest incomes per capita, and a large middle-class population. Telecommunications, such as; wireless phones, cable service, internet service and other services are important for the local economy. Tourism, to a lesser extent, also accounts for a portion of the city's economy.


title: Santiago de los Caballeros

text: Santiago, like most cities and towns in the Cibao valley, has historically benefited from the fertile lands of this region. This makes Santiago de los Caballeros an important area for farming and livestock. Santiago's industrial sector is also one of the most dynamic in the country. It has the concentration of 15% of domestic industries. This means 308 manufacturing companies, which in 2004 employed more than 14,000 people or 12% of the labor of Dominican manufacturing work. The products range from cigars, coffee, and alcoholic beverages, to concrete, plywood and sheet products.


title: Santiago de los Caballeros

text: The Mercado Modelo on Calle del Sol is a shopping center where there are various stores of handicrafts and native articles made by hand.


title: Santiago de los Caballeros

text: Santiago has recently experienced an era of rapid growth and development. It has become a city of great importance for the nation and the region's development. The approximate population of Santiago was about 1,343,423 inhabitants as of 2021, making it the second most populous city in the Dominican Republic and the fourth-largest in the Caribbean (behind Santo Domingo, Havana, and Port-au-Prince), as well as the largest city that isn't a capital (although it once was).


title: Santiago de los Caballeros

text: The Victorian era was the zenith of architecture in the city. Numerous residences were built in this European style, which makes up the historic center of Santiago. The neo-classical gothic Cathedral of Santiago was built in 1895 by Onofre de Lora, an architect native to the city.


title: Santiago de los Caballeros

text: The Hermanos Patiño Bridge is both the largest and oldest bridge in the city connecting the North and South sides of the city of Santiago. Its construction was started by Rafael Leónidas Trujillo and inaugurated in 1962, one year after his death. The bridge is named after the five brothers that died in an effort to end Trujillo's regime and dictatorship in the Dominican Republic in the mid 20th century.

title: Daniel Agger

text: Daniel Munthe Agger (; born 12 December 1984) is a Danish professional football coach and former player who is the head coach of Danish 1st Division club HB Køge. As an active player, he played as a central defender for Brøndby and Liverpool and captained the Denmark national team. Agger was described as "a fine reader of the game, comfortable on the ball and blessed with a ferocious shot". He was the 2007 and 2012 Danish Football Player of the Year.


title: Daniel Agger

text: He started his senior career with Brøndby in July 2004, winning the Danish Superliga and the Danish Cup, before moving to Liverpool in January 2006. He made 175 Premier League appearances for the club (232 total) and won the League Cup and Community Shield. Agger returned to Brøndby for personal reasons in August 2014, and retired two years later at the age of 31.


title: Daniel Agger

text: A full international since 2005, Agger earned 75 caps and scored 11 goals for Denmark. He represented the nation at the 2010 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2012, captaining his country at the latter.


title: Daniel Agger

text: In July 2004, he was moved from the youth squad to the first team, following the departure of Swedish international defender Andreas Jakobsson. Agger quickly established himself not only as a first team regular, but as one of the key components in the team that won the 2004–05 Danish Superliga championship. After the first half of the season Agger was named 2004 "talent of the year" by Spillerforeningen (the Danish equivalent of the English PFA).


title: Daniel Agger

text: An injury sustained in the 2005–06 Danish Superliga season in September forced him out for the remainder of 2005. On 6 December 2005 and at only 20 years of age, Agger was awarded the Danish "talent of the year" for all sports.


title: Daniel Agger

text: Agger was long linked to a transfer to a big club, and in the January 2006 transfer window, he got his wish and was looking to join Premier League team Liverpool, then holders of the UEFA Champions League. Agger did not travel with his Brøndby teammates for their winter training camp in January and on 12 January 2006, he signed a -year contract with Liverpool. The £6 million fee made him the most expensive footballer sold by a Danish club to a foreign club. During his first half-season at Liverpool, injuries limited Agger to four first-team appearances, and he missed the club's victory in the 2006 FA Cup Final.


title: Daniel Agger

text: Agger played the full game as Liverpool won the 2006 FA Community Shield against Chelsea. Still adapting to the English game, he established himself in Liverpool's first team squad, competing with Liverpool vice-captain Jamie Carragher and former Finnish team captain Sami Hyypiä for the two starting places in the central defence. Agger scored his first goal for Liverpool on 26 August 2006 in a 2–1 win against West Ham United. Agger was allowed to run unchallenged toward the Kop-end goal and scored from out. Liverpool manager Rafael Benítez commented he was not surprised and that Agger has frequently scored such goals in training. The goal was named Goal of the Month for August by the BBC's "Match of the Day", and later Liverpool's Premiership Goal of the Season. On 4 October 2006, he was given the PFA's fan award for impressive and solid displays in September.


title: Daniel Agger

text: Agger scored his second goal for the club in a Football League Cup away game against Birmingham City with a volley from close range during the seven minutes of first-half stoppage time. His third was against Arsenal, scoring a header in a 4–1 victory played on 31 March 2007. In the first semi-final of the 2006–07 Champions League, Agger received some criticism as Liverpool lost to Chelsea 1–0, after Chelsea striker Didier Drogba managed to dribble past him before making the assist to win the game. In the second leg of the semi-finals, Agger answered his critics by scoring another curler from a smartly-taken Steven Gerrard free-kick from just outside the penalty area, and helping Liverpool keep a clean sheet as the team beat Chelsea 1–0 on 1 May 2007. He went on to play in the 2007 UEFA Champions League Final which Liverpool lost 2–1 to Milan.


title: Daniel Agger

text: Agger started the 2007 pre-season scoring two goals in four games, including a left footed-finish against Hong Kong outfit South China. However, he suffered a metatarsal injury in September, again losing his place to Hyypiä. In January 2008, Agger began training and was attempting to regain match fitness, but a recurrence of the injury in his second metatarsal again ruled him out of action. After being examined by several specialists, it was reported that Agger would miss the remainder of the season to undergo surgery on his foot.


title: Daniel Agger

text: Agger returned to full training in the pre-season at Melwood and on 12 July 2008, Agger made his playing return as a substitute in Liverpool's friendly win over neighbours Tranmere Rovers. Agger stated after the match: "I am almost starting my career at Liverpool all over again". Agger was in the starting line up in Liverpool's first game of the season against Standard Liège in the Champions League qualifiers. The game ended 0–0. Agger then found himself sidelined the rest of August and much of September, and was not even included in the squad to face Manchester United. This was followed by rumours of a verbal exchange between Agger and Liverpool manager Benítez. However, Benítez insisted that there was no rift between Agger and himself.


title: Daniel Agger

text: After a month without playing, Agger returned to the starting line up against Crewe Alexandra in the League Cup. Agger played the full 90 minutes and marked his return by scoring the first goal from a free kick outside the box. Liverpool won the game 2–1.


title: Daniel Agger

text: Profiting in part from Škrtel's injury, Agger returned to the starting line up against Wigan for his first Premier League match of the season. Agger was, however, at least partly to blame for Wigan taking the lead when he lost the ball to Zaki after a pass from goalkeeper Reina. Agger redeemed himself by setting up Dirk Kuyt for the equaliser. Liverpool eventually won the match 3–2. On 11 April 2009, Agger scored the third goal for Liverpool from 30 yards against Blackburn Rovers. Liverpool went on to win 3–0.

text: Agger appeared against Arsenal on 15 August 2010, but got concussed in the second half of the game. As a result of the concussion, he missed the next few games. He also had other injury problems which kept him out until December. Martin Škrtel was preferred rather than Agger under Roy Hodgson and he threatened to quit the club with Juventus reportedly interested in him. After the departure of Hodgson, he featured in most of the games under Kenny Dalglish. However, Agger was ruled out for the remainder of the season, following a knee injury sustained in the match against West Bromwich Albion on 2 March 2011. At the end of the season, he had only managed 21 appearances for the Reds in all competitions.

title: Daniel Agger

text: Agger made his first start of the league campaign in a 3–0 defeat to West Bromwich Albion on 18 August, in which he conceded a penalty and was sent off for a foul on Shane Long. Although the penalty was saved, Liverpool were unable to hold on and slipped to a disappointing defeat.

On 30 December, Agger scored a beautiful header against QPR, assisted by a cross from captain Steven Gerrard. Agger made it 3–0 which also was the final score. Agger reached his 200th appearance for Liverpool on 21 February 2013 in a home Europe League tie against Zenit St. Petersburg. With Liverpool trailing 2–0 from the first leg, the Reds recorded a 3–1 win at Anfield, but were eliminated on away goals.


title: Daniel Agger

This came shortly after reports had surfaced that Barcelona had made a bid to sign the Dane. Agger assisted Daniel Sturridge's goal with a flick-on header in the 1–0 victory against Manchester United. Agger did however, see his game time cut short due to Mamadou Sakho being preferred in the same role. On 1 January 2014, Agger scored his first goal of the season, meeting a Philippe Coutinho corner with his head in a 2–0 win over Hull. During much of 2014, Agger was left out of the team, with Sakho partnering Skrtel in defence.

With Liverpool trailing 1–0, Agger scored the equaliser by meeting a Steven Gerrard free kick at the back post.

title: Zombie film

text: A zombie film is a film genre. Zombies are fictional creatures usually portrayed as reanimated corpses or virally infected human beings. They are commonly portrayed as cannibalistic in nature. While zombie films generally fall into the horror genre, some cross over into other genres, such as action, comedy, science fiction, thriller, or romance. Distinct subgenres have evolved, such as the "zombie comedy" or the "zombie apocalypse". Zombies are distinct from ghosts, ghouls, mummies, Frankenstein's monsters or vampires, so this list does not include films devoted to these types of undead.


title: Zombie film

text: A number of zombie films were produced in the late 1930s and 1940s, including "I Walked with a Zombie" (1943).


title: Zombie film

text: Inspired by the zombie of Haitian folklore, the modern zombie emerged in popular culture during the latter half of the twentieth century, with George A. Romero's seminal film "Night of the Living Dead" (1968). The film received a sequel, "Dawn of the Dead" (1978), which was the most commercially successful zombie film at the time. It received another sequel, "Day of the Dead" (1985), and inspired numerous works such as "Zombi 2" (1979) and "Return of the Living Dead" (1985). However, zombie films that followed in the 1980s and 1990s were not as commercially successful as "Dawn of the Dead" in the late 1970s.


title: Zombie film

text: In the 1980s Hong Kong cinema, the Chinese jiangshi, a zombie-like creature dating back to Qing dynasty era jiangshi fiction of the 18th and 19th centuries, was featured in a wave of jiangshi films, popularised by "Mr. Vampire" (1985). Hong Kong jiangshi films became popular in the Far East during the mid-1980s to early 1990s. Another American zombie film, "The Serpent and the Rainbow", was released in 1988.


title: Zombie film

text: A zombie revival later began in the Far East during the late 1990s, inspired by the 1996 Japanese zombie video games "Resident Evil" and "The House of the Dead", which led to a wave of low-budget Asian zombie films, such as the Hong Kong zombie comedy film "Bio Zombie" (1998) and Japanese zombie-action film "Versus" (2000). The zombie film revival later went global, as the worldwide success of zombie games such as "Resident Evil" and "The House of the Dead" inspired a new wave of Western zombie films in the early 2000s, including the "Resident Evil" film series, the British film "28 Days Later" (2002) and its sequel "28 Weeks Later" (2007), "House of the Dead" (2003), a 2004 "Dawn of the Dead" remake and the British parody movie "Shaun of the Dead" (2004). The success of these films led to the zombie genre reaching a new peak of commercial success not seen since the 1970s.


title: Zombie film

text: Zombie films created in the 2000s have featured zombies that are more agile, vicious, intelligent, and stronger than the traditional zombie. These new fast running zombies have origins in video games, including "Resident Evil"s running zombie dogs and particularly "The House of the Dead"s running human zombies.


title: Zombie film

text: In the late 2010s, zombie films began declining in the Western world. In Japan, on the other hand, the low-budget Japanese zombie comedy "One Cut of the Dead" (2017) became a sleeper hit, making box office history by earning over a thousand times its budget.


title: Zombie film

text: Characteristics of zombies vary from film to film. Each filmmaker gives his or her zombies a unique set of qualities for the universe of that film. While zombies are often portrayed as slow-moving, such as in "Night of the Living Dead", other films such as "World War Z" (2013) depict fast-moving zombies that can run.


title: Zombie film

text: The zombie outbreak can also be caused by a variety of sources. Many films have zombies that are people infected with a zombie virus, while other films give different causes for the zombie outbreak. Radiation from a space probe causes the dead to attack the living in "Night of the Living Dead". In "Train to Busan" (2016), the zombie outbreak is caused by a chemical leak. In "The Girl with All the Gifts" (2016), the zombie disease is caused by a fungus.


title: Zombie film

text: The transformation from human to zombie is also different from film to film. The transformation process can take only minutes, such as in "World War Z", or it can take several hours, such as in "Night of the Living Dead".


title: Zombie film

text: Zombies also have different weaknesses in different films. In most films, zombies can only be killed by destroying the brain, often by gunshot to the head. However, in "Night of the Living Dead", the zombies are also repelled by fire.


title: Zombie film

text: A few films also portray zombies as sentient beings. "Warm Bodies" (2013) is a zombie romantic comedy about zombies who are still conscious in their bodies and wish they could be alive again. In "The Girl with All the Gifts", there are human-zombie hybrid children that act like normal children, except when they're hungry.


title: LGBT themes in classical mythology

text: Greco-Roman mythology features male homosexuality in many of the constituent myths. In addition, there are instances of cross-dressing, and of androgyny which has been grouped under the acronym LGBTQ+.


title: LGBT themes in classical mythology

text: These myths have been described as being crucially influential on Western LGBT literature, with the original myths being constantly re-published and re-written, and the relationships and characters serving as icons. In comparison, lesbianism is rarely found in classical myths.


title: LGBT themes in classical mythology

text: Apollo, the god of sun and music, is considered the patron of same sex love, as he had many male lovers and was often invoked to bless homosexual unions. He is also called "the champion of male love" by Andrew Callimach. Other gods are sometimes considered patrons of homosexual love between males, such as the love goddess Aphrodite and gods in her retinue, such as the Erotes: Eros, Himeros and Pothos. Eros is also part of a trinity of gods that played roles in homoerotic relationships, along with Heracles and Hermes, who bestowed qualities of beauty (and loyalty), strength, and eloquence, respectively, onto male lovers. In the poetry of Sappho, Aphrodite is identified as the patron of lesbians.


title: LGBT themes in classical mythology

text: The sex-change theme also occurred in classical mythology. The reason for the transformation varies, as in the case of Siproites (Σιπροίτης), a hunter from Crete, who was transformed to a woman by Artemis after having seen the goddess bathing/nude.


title: LGBT themes in classical mythology

text: There was also a motif of a woman needing to disguise herself as a male and later being transformed into a biological male by mysterious forces (mainly the gods). In the cases of Iphis and Leucippus, the woman's mother was pressured (by her husband) to bear a male child so the protagonist was forced to impersonate a male from birth. Later in life, manhood was granted through the blessing of a deity (Juno/Hera in Iphis' case and Leto in Leucippus').


title: LGBT themes in classical mythology

text: Caeneus and Mestra, each of who was a mate of a god (Caeneus was a rape victim of Poseidon/Neptune and Mestra was a lover of the same god), were granted manhood by the said god. Mestra, however, had the ability to change her shape voluntarily, instead of staying in male form like Caeneus and other instances above.


title: LGBT themes in classical mythology

text: Tiresias, on the other hand, became female because he struck a couple of copulating snakes, displeasing Hera, who punished him by transforming Tiresias into a woman. Later the sentence was remitted, due to either trampling on the mating snakes or avoiding them, and he became male again. In another version, Tiresias' sex-change was caused by an argument between Zeus and Hera, on which they debated whether a male or a female had greater pleasure in sex, so they transformed him into a female to experiment.


title: LGBT themes in classical mythology

text: According to Leah DeVun, a "traditional Hippocratic / Galenic model of sexual difference – popularized by the late antique physician Galen and the ascendant theory for much of the Middle Ages – viewed sex as a spectrum that encompassed masculine men, feminine women, and many shades in between, including hermaphrodites, a perfect balance of male and female". DeVun contrasts this with an Artistotelian view of intersex, which argued that "hermaphrodites were not an intermediate sex but a case of doubled or superfluous genitals", and this later influenced Aquinas.


title: LGBT themes in classical mythology

text: Hermaphroditus (also the namesake of the word "hermaphrodite"), the son of Hermes and Aphrodite, is considered the god of hermaphrodites and intersex people. Hermaphroditus was depicted as a winged youth with both male and female features, that is, usually female thighs, breasts, and style of hair, and male genitalia.


title: LGBT themes in classical mythology

text: Dionysus has been dubbed "a patron god of hermaphrodites and transvestites" by Roberto C. Ferrari in the 2002 "Encyclopedia of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Culture". He is referred to as effeminate, which is sometimes linked to his being dressed in girl's clothes during his childhood. In "Orphic Hymn" 41, the goddess Mise is referred to as an aspect of Dionysus, who is described as "male and female" ("ἄρσενα καὶ θῆλυν").


title: LGBT themes in classical mythology

text: Apollo was another god with effeminate features. His cheeks and chin are said to be soft and tender. He was beardless and kept his hair long, giving him a feminine appearance. In one of his myths, he is mocked for draping himself in women's clothing, while his twin sister Artemis was made fun of for appearing manly and rough.


title: LGBT themes in classical mythology

text: In addition to Dionysus/Mise, several gods are referred to as "both male and female" or "both female and male" in the "Orphic Hymns", including Selene, Athena, and Adonis. In Cyprus and Athens, an aspect of Aphrodite with male genitals and in some cases a beard, called Aphroditos, was worshipped. Macrobius (c. 400s AD) wrote in his "Saturnalia", at 3.8.2:

title: Jack Miller (motorcyclist)

text: Jack Peter Miller (born 18 January 1995) is an Australian Grand Prix motorcycle racer who rides for the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing in MotoGP. He was the "German 2011 IDM 125cc International Champion". Miller has won four races in the premier class, his first at the 2016 Dutch TT on a Marc VDS Honda, his second and third in consecutive weekends of May 2021, at Jerez, Spain, and Le Mans, France on a Ducati, Motegi Japan in 2022 and has finished as the championship runner-up in the 2014 Moto3 World Championship.


title: Jack Miller (motorcyclist)

text: Born in Townsville, Queensland, Australia, Miller grew up on a property outside the city. A tropical city where he made his own fun, riding his motorbike and quad bike, water skiing and lending a hand with fencing and cattle mustering. His parents and siblings have supported his racing career every step of the way, helping him reach his goal of racing in the World Championship. Miller has been racing motorbikes since he was eight years old, originally starting on dirt bikes, where he was the Australian Dirt Bike champion in the 65cc category in 2003. He went on to win five other Australian championships in 2005, 2006 and 2007 and numerous other local and state titles in dirt bike racing and motocross events.


title: Jack Miller (motorcyclist)

text: 2011 was his breakout year in Europe. A string of strong performances saw him win the championship in the German IDM 125cc category at the age of 16. This title won the attention of Caretta Technology's Forward Racing, an Italian race team who signed Miller to ride in the 2012 Moto3 Championship.


title: Jack Miller (motorcyclist)

text: 2012 was Miller's first year in the Moto3 World Championship, riding for Caretta Technology Forward Racing on a Honda chassis. While the bike was not competitive, it allowed Miller the opportunity to learn the circuits he would be racing in the coming years. He finished 23rd in the Moto3 Championship that year with 17 points, and a best finish of 4th at the German Grand Prix, at the Sachsenring.


title: Jack Miller (motorcyclist)

text: Miller moved to Racing Team Germany for the 2013 season, riding an FTR Honda chassis. Miller achieved 13 points-scoring finishes during the season, and finished in seventh place in the final championship standings. His best results were two 5th places, at the San Marino race, and his home Australian Grands Prix.


title: Jack Miller (motorcyclist)

text: Miller moved to a factory-backed KTM motorcycle for the 2014 season, joining the Red Bull KTM Ajo team. He had a breakout season, recording his first fastest lap, pole position, podium finish and victory in the category. In total, he won six races during the season (Qatar, USA, France, Germany, Australia, and Valencia), and finished the season as runner-up to Álex Márquez in the championship, missing out on the title by just two points.


title: Jack Miller (motorcyclist)

text: For the 2015 season, Miller graduated into the MotoGP class, forming a part of an expanded two-rider Team LCR outfit, partnering Cal Crutchlow, and riding on an open specification Honda RC213V-RS. He achieved his best finish with 11th at Catalunya, following the British Grand Prix, where Miller moved up the order in the early stages, but collided with teammate Crutchlow on the third lap. Miller finished his rookie season in 19th place, with 17 points.


title: Jack Miller (motorcyclist)

text: For the 2016 MotoGP World Championship, Miller moved to the Marc VDS Racing Team. Miller finished in 14th place at Qatar, and at Catalunya, he finished the race in a career best 10th place. On 26 June at Assen, Miller was running strongly in the top 10, before the race was red flagged due to heavy rain. The race restarted for a 12 lap shootout, and Miller clung on to the leaders in the early laps. He was running in 4th by the end of lap 1, and inherited 3rd when Andrea Dovizioso crashed, right behind factory Honda rider Marc Márquez. On lap 3 race leader Valentino Rossi crashed out, and a lap later Miller overtook Màrquez for the race lead. He held his nerve for the rest of the race and pulled away to claim his first premier class victory. He was the first Australian to win a MotoGP race since Casey Stoner in Australia 2012, and the first satellite rider to win a race since Toni Elias in Portugal in 2006. Miller's odds of winning going into the race were said to be 750–1, making it the biggest winning upset in MotoGP history. The rest of his season had mixed fortunes, with occasional speed being blighted by injuries, including a fractured vertebrae in Austria. He claimed three more top 10 finishes to end the year 18th in the standings, with 57 points.


title: Jack Miller (motorcyclist)

text: He returned to the team for 2017, and although sometimes seemed to lack the raw pace from the previous season, he matured and became a more consistent points scorer. This fact was recognised by Honda, who gave him a chance to ride their factory bike at the Suzuka 8 Hours. He recorded nine top-10 finishes during the season, with a best finish of sixth coming twice at Assen, and in the wet at Misano. Despite breaking his leg whilst training before Japan, he returned for his home race in Australia and led the early laps. He finished the year 11th in the standings, with 82 points.


title: Jack Miller (motorcyclist)

text: In 2018 Miller moved to Pramac Racing, now riding a Ducati, siding Danilo Petrucci. However, unlike the Italian, he had to stick with a 2017-spec bike. Nevertheless, the Australian scored two fourth places in Argentina and France, and a pole position in Argentina too, finishing the season in 13th position, with 91 points.


title: Jack Miller (motorcyclist)

text: In 2019 Miller was riding a spec-19 Ducati, after Petrucci moved to the Ducati factory team. His teammate was 2018 Moto2 champion Francesco Bagnaia. The season started strongly for Miller, as in Qatar he qualified 4th, but was forced to retire in the race due to a broken seat while battling for the lead. Miller scored five podiums in Austin (his first podium since his 2016 Assen win), Brno, Aragon, Phillip Island and Valencia, all 3rd places. He finished the season in 8th overall, with 165 points.


title: Jack Miller (motorcyclist)

text: For 2020, in his final season with Pramac Racing Ducati, Miller finished in the top ten in all races he finished, with a best finish of second at Styrian GP, Valencia and Portimao. However Miller incurred several DNFs during the season, including at Andulucia due to error in the intense July heat at Jerez; a DNF in Misano 2 due to a tear-off visor from Fabio Quartararo being sucked into Miller's air intake, causing a reduction in power; a suspected engine failure also occurred while fighting in the lead group at Le Mans; and the opening corners of Aragon 2, where Brad Binder collided with Miller, ending both of their races. Miller closed off the 2020 season strongly with two 2nd places, battling Franco Morbidelli spectacularly on the final lap in both Valencia and Portimao, and finished the season 7th in the championship, with 132 points.


title: Jack Miller (motorcyclist)

text: During testing in Qatar, Miller, now aboard the factory Ducati team, set unofficial record lap times, but struggled in the races, finishing just 9th in both races held in Doha. During the second Qatar race Miller became frustrated and engaged in a tit for tat struggle with defending world champion Joan Mir: the sequence started when Mir made an aggressive overtake on Miller, causing Mir to briefly lose grip, needing to pick his bike up, and nearly running Miller off the track. Miller then retaliated by colliding with Mir heading down the back straight of the Losail International Circuit. Later in the race Miller provoked another near-accident that could have taken out both Mir and factory Yamaha rider Maverick Viñales, but Miller refused to apologize for the incidents, saying it was Mir who was at fault for any on-track encounters. Miller underwent successful surgery in Spain for compartment syndrome, and would be back to race in Portugal. At the Portuguese Grand Prix he showed good pace all weekend, but crashed out early in the race. At the following races in Jerez, where he qualified 3rd on the grid, Miller got a strong start of the line into first but was passed by Fabio Quartararo early on in the race. Miller took back the lead with seven laps left, after Quartararo himself suffered an arm-pump compartment syndrome, building up a one second gap to his teammate Bagnaia to secure his first win of 2021. For Miller this would be his second MotoGP win after a five-year gap, his first on a Ducati, and his first win in dry conditions. It was also Ducati's first win of 2021 and their first victory at Jerez since 2006. Miller followed up his win in Jerez with a flag to flag win at Le Mans the following weekend, which was notable because he overcame two long lap penalties to secure a dominant victory. He would finish 3rd in Barcelona, before a mid-season bad run saw him drop out of championship contention. He ended the season well with two third places in Portimao and Valencia, overall closing his season with two wins, five podiums, 181 points, and 4th in the rider's championship.


title: Jack Miller (motorcyclist)

text: On 9 June 2022, Miller signed a contract with Red Bull KTM Factory Racing for 2023 and 2024, teaming up with Brad Binder.


title: Jack Miller (motorcyclist)

text: Jack Miller closed his 2021 journey with a podium in the final Australian Superbike (ASBK) race. After closing the MotoGP season with a podium at the Valencia GP, Miller, riding the Ducati Panigale V4R, started from second place in his debut appearance at The Bend Motorsport Park Circuit.


title: Jack Miller (motorcyclist)

text: In the first race Miller experienced DNF when he was in second place behind fellow Ducati rider who later won ASBK 2021 Wayne Maxwell, but in race two he managed to finish and secure third place on the podium.


title: Jack Miller (motorcyclist)

text: Jack Miller's will have a 'last dance' with Ducati on Australian Superbikes. In this race, Miller still uses a Ducati motorcycle. Even though he is now part of KTM and has already conducted tests with the RC-16. However, the Panigale V4R remains Miller's mainstay at ASBK.


title: Jack Miller (motorcyclist)

text: In early October 2022, Miller travelled from the far-Eastern World Championship motorcycle racing venues to be married in Australia. On 15 October 2022, turn four at the Phillip Island racing circuit was renamed from "Honda Corner" to "Miller Corner".


title: Jack Miller (motorcyclist)

text: Just a day later, Miller was taken out of the Australian Grand Prix by satellite Honda rider Álex Márquez, who crashed into Miller from behind at Miller Corner.


title: Jack Miller (motorcyclist)

text: In his early grands prix career in Moto3, Miller was described as 'Jackass', when he also was an exponent of 'goon riding'. In the later stages of his race career, having risen to the MotoGP class, his nickname changed to 'Thriller'.

text: In 2012, filmmaker Lauren Greenfield released a documentary entitled "The Queen of Versailles", based on a series of interviews with Siegel, his wife Jackie Siegel, and their attempt to build a 90,000 square foot mansion, Versailles house, modeled after the famous French original. In the film, David Siegel is shown struggling (and ultimately failing) to secure funding for Westgate's Las Vegas high-rise resort, the PH Towers Westgate. Siegel's son and senior Westgate executive, Richard, is quoted as saying that David Siegel's determination not to lose the PH Tower was a major source of the company's financial troubles in 2009-11. On November 22, 2011, a controlling interest in the property was sold to Resort Finance America LLC.

Despite paying $50,000 initially, Westgate stopped payment and the matter went back to the courts for another three years. The matter was finally settled under Judge Michael Baxley, and Westgate agreed to pay $500,000, $100,000 less than the original judgement required.
