A Gosford City Council report on the development's local environment plan stated the development was "satisfactory 'in principle' from a land use viewpoint" but did not handle concerns raised by the National Trust, the NSW Heritage Office or the local community. The council voted to approve the plan and forwarded it to the NSW State Government. Planning Minister Frank Sartor approved the plan, with restrictions on the site's size and changes to the original theatre.

In 2012, the Hunters submitted a formal development application for the site that included a five-screen cinema, five units, a gallery and a café. Local residents expressed concern at the scale of the development and loss of the site's heritage value. Mr Hunter stated "Single-screen cinemas are no longer a viable business option." In 2015, Gosford Council voted to reject the planned development. The council was concerned about issues with parking, flooding and how the building's size would clash with the local area's character. In 2016, the Council added the theatre to a list of proposed heritage protected sites. After the Hunters lodged an appeal in the Land and Environment Court, the development plan was approved in 2017. The court found the site was not worthy of a heritage listing and the approved plan saw a reduction from 5 a screen complex to 4.

History

The Kasadyahan Festival was first celebrated on January 26, 1968, as a way to showcase the rich cultural heritage of Iloilo City and its surrounding areas. It started as a small event and has grown over the years into a grand celebration of music, dance, and colorful costumes. It became part of the Dinagyang Festival in the 1980s to showcase the talents of the students as well as the rich cultural heritage of the province of Iloilo. In the first few years of this event, schools from various towns and cities in the province participated in this competition, but in recent times, the cultural competition confined only to the province has become a regional event, accepting entries from other provinces of the region, showcasing the best of Western Visayas cultural and historical heritage.

History

In 2010, there was a proposal to separate the Kasadyahan from the Dinagyang Festival, but it was never finalized. The proposal came up again in July 2019 when the Iloilo Festivals Foundation Inc. (IFFI) announced that, starting in 2020, Kasadyahan would no longer be part of Dinagyang. Instead, they brought in the "sadsad," a merry-making tradition from the Ati-Atihan Festival of Kalibo, Aklan. Considerations were made for the celebration of the Kasadyahan Festival in a separate month or possibly incorporated into the celebration of Iloilo City's Charter Day. However, these plans got canceled due to the pandemic.

Patrick Dourado
| 75,672,550 |
Patrocicio "Patrick" Dourado (born 23 June 1939) is and Indian playwright, theatre director, singer, composer and ghost writer who works on the Konkani stage. Throughout a career that has lasted for over six decades, he has written scripts for more than 100 tiatrs, starting in 1957 at the age of 18.

Patrick Dourado
| 75,672,550 |
Career
|
Dourado embarked on his journey in Konkani theatre at a tender age of approximately 18, when he successfully produced his inaugural play, Nagounnechi Girestkai. With the support of his local acquaintances, the play was staged during the chapel feast at Pedda-Benaulim on 12 October 1957. The cast members included Xavie (Bhatagoto), Jack Mendes, Santan Fernandes, and Francis Koloi. While Dourado had completed the script for the play, he encountered challenges in composing the accompanying cantos or songs due to his limited knowledge in musical composition. In search of guidance, Dourado approached a fellow villager named Caetano Piedade Fernandes, who possessed a wealth of experience in songwriting. Fernandes agreed to assist Dourado but not before imparting a lengthy lecture to him.

Patrick Dourado
| 75,672,550 |
Career
|
In the earlier years of Konkani play scripting, the storylines were often transcribed in 32-page notebooks, eventually transitioning to larger registers in subsequent times. Notably, there was no formalized script for dialogue during this period; rather, emphasis was placed solely on composing songs that narrated the unfolding narrative. Dourado received valuable tutelage on song composition from his maternal uncle, Antonio Colaco of Bansi ward, who directed zhomnivell khells in Cacora- Sanvordem. Building upon his initial play, Dourado composed additional songs and sought a final evaluation from Francis Koloi, whose satisfaction with the composition affirmed Dourado's abilities and encouraged him to forge ahead without hesitation. In a June 2016 interview with The Times of India, Dourado acknowledged the assistance rendered by C P Bebo in his songwriting endeavors.

Career
|
Dourado has gained recognition in the field of scripting folk plays and continuous dramas. His skills as a composer on the Konkani stage, particularly in creating heartfelt songs and captivating cantos, have earned him reputation. In addition, he has served as a ghost composer for numerous audio albums, composing lyrics for hundreds of songs and collaborating with various singers. Dourado's talents extend beyond music composition, as he has written numerous tiatrs (theatrical plays) and has also worked as a ghost writer for well-known directors.

Patrick Dourado
| 75,672,550 |
Career
|
Due to the nature of his shows being staged on a contractual basis by professional contractors, Dourado has faced financial constraints and has not been able to derive significant financial benefits. Consequently, he has relied on collaborations with producers and contractors, as he lacked the means to book halls and stage his shows in towns. Dourado himself acknowledges that organizing shows on a contractual basis does not yield substantial financial returns. Known for his storytelling abilities, as described by Daniel F de Souza of The Goan Everyday, Dourado emphasizes the importance of patience in writing tiatrs. He draws inspiration from accomplished playwrights of the past, such as M. Boyer, Prem Kumar, and C. Alvares, who would release their tiatrs once every two years, resulting in shows of quality in all aspects.

Belfast United (proposed football club)
| 75,672,573 |
Belfast United is the name of a proposed English Premier League football club during the late 1990s, which was to be created by relocating an existing club from the UK mainland to Belgast in Northern Ireland. The project was discussed by the Government of Tony Blair, and was seen as a way of uniting the community of Northern Ireland following The Troubles.
|
|
Belfast United (proposed football club)
| 75,672,573 |
Background
|
Following the 1997 election of the Labour Party, and the conclusion of The Troubles, informal discussions took place with a view to relocating an English Premier League football club from the UK mainland to Belfast in Northern Ireland. It was proposed the club would be named Belfast United, and the move was seen as a potential way "to build up strong cross-community support and provide a positive unifying force in a divided city". The idea was favoured by then UK prime minister Tony Blair, who felt it would be a "significant breakthrough if Belfast had a football team playing in the English Premier League". The proposal involved relocating Wimbledon F.C. from London to Belfast, as Wimbledon needed to move from its Plough Lane stadium as a result of the findings of the 1990 Taylor Report commissioned following the Hillsborough disaster, which had recommended clubs should move towards having all-seater stadiums. Plough Lane was also deemed to be unfit for redevelopment.
|
Belfast United (proposed football club)
| 75,672,573 |
Background
|
Along with the proposed move came the suggested construction of a £45m mainly private sector funded 40,000-seat sports stadium in Belfast, planned for completion in 1999, as well as a sport academy to be located either on Queen's Island in east Belfast or North Foreshore in North Belfast. It was believed that the proposals would bring new investment to Northern Ireland, as well as giving Belfast an international sporting profile if a team based in the city were seen to be performing well in both English and European football competitions.
|
Belfast United (proposed football club)
| 75,672,573 |
Background
|
In 1998, notes regarding the discussions were leaked to the Belfast Telegraph, which then published an article about the project, claiming that it was supported by Mo Mowlam, the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, although Mowlam personally believed the idea was not "particularly safe". The same article quoted a note by Alastair Campbell, the Downing Street Chief Press Secretary, which commented on discussions Wimbledon owner Sam Hammam had undertaken with officials at the Football Association of Ireland about possibly moving the club to Dublin, but which "seems to have come to naught". A memo regarding the Belfast proposal, and signed by Blair on 16 July 1998, suggested "we should encourage this as much as possible". However, although Downing Street was in favour of the idea, local football officials in Northern Ireland were concerned the plans could "kill off the game in Northern Ireland", and by August 1998 the project was described as being at a "delicate stage", with Irish football officials continuing "to resist the idea strongly". Moreover, Gerry Loughran, Permanent Secretary to the Department of Economic Development, did not believe the mid-table Wimbledon would be capable of playing in Europe, or that fans would transfer their loyalty to the relocated club.
|

| 75,672,573 |
Subsequent developments
|
Following resistance to the project, the idea was not mentioned again after 1999, and focus switched to building a new national football stadium for Northern Ireland. The venue was finally opened at Windsor Park, home of Linfield F.C., in 2016.

Subsequent developments
|
Wimbledon F.C. moved from the Plough Lane stadium in 1998 to ground share with Crystal Palace F.C. at Selhurst Park, and the Plough Lane stadium was later demolished. Wimbledon was relegated from the Premier League in 2000, and in 2002 were given permission to relocate to Milton Keynes and change their name. The club was renamed MK Dons F.C. in 2004. In 2002, a new club, AFC Wimbledon, was formed by supporters of the original Wimbledon, and began competing in the Combined Counties League Premier Division. The club reached the English Football League in 2011.

Overview

Following discussions about the establishment of a central bank going at least as far back as 1844, the Grand Duchy of Baden was prompted into action by the momentum of German unification. It received its banking license from the Grand-Ducal government on 25 March 1870. The government was a shareholder alongside private bankers from Baden, Adolf von Hansemann of the Berlin-based Disconto-Gesellschaft, and Baron Carl von Rothschild of the Frankfurt-based M. A. Rothschild & Söhne. The capital amounted to 10,500,000 guilders (6,000,000 thalers) divided into 30,000 shares of 350 guilders (or 200 thalers). A branch opened in Karlsruhe as early as 1871.

Overview

The bank had the right to issue banknotes up to three times the paid-in capital. The cover of the notes in circulation was one-third in silver and two-thirds in gold or foreign exchange. In return for the issuance privilege, the bank was obliged to distribute a fifth of its profits to the Grand-Ducal government after deducting a 5 percent dividend. This state share rose from 2,626.80 gold marks in 1880 to 22,885 marks in 1890.

Overview
|
In 1931, the Republic of Baden acquired a block of shares from Deutsche Bank and thereby became the majority shareholder. The next year, it relocated its head office to Karlsruhe. In 1934 the National Socialist government abolished the note-issuance privilege. The bank subsequently expanded as a regular commercial bank. In 1937, it acquired the Carl Trautwein Bank in Freiburg im Breisgau.
