title: João Havelange

texts: Jean-Marie Faustin Godefroid "Joo<mask> was a Brazilian lawyer, businessman, athlete and centenarian who served as the seventh president of FIFA from 1974 to 1998. His tenure as president is the second longest in the history of the organization. When he left office, he was given the title of Honorary President. He was succeeded by Sepp Blatter. <mask> was a member of the IOC from 1963 to 2011. After his resignation, he was the longest-serving active member. In July 2012 a Swiss prosecutor's report revealed that during his tenure on the Executive Committee, he and his son-in-law took more than 41 million Swiss Francs in bribes in connection with the award of World Cup marketing rights.His father, Faustin <mask>, was an arms dealer and owned a large estate that stretched along the present-day. Havelange was accepted to the prestigious Law School of Fluminense Federal University at the age of 24 and graduated with a BA in Law. He was a legal advisor for two bus companies, Viao Cometa S/A and Auto Viao Jabaquara. He was a partner at Orwec Qumica e Metallurgia. At the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Havelange competed in the 400m freestyle and 1500m freestyle but failed to go beyond the heats. He was on the Brazilian team that tied for 13th in water polo at the 1952 Summer Olympics. He was the chef de mission at the Olympics.Havelange was the President of the Metropolitan Swimming Federation in Brazil and became a member of the Brazilian Olympic Committee. He was the President of the Confederation from 1959 to 1973. In 1974 Havelange defeated Englishman Stanley Rous for the presidency of the governing body of world association football. Havelange was the first non-European to hold the post. He worked for the presidency in 86 different countries. Patrick Nally said that Havelange knew that if he became the president of the only federation already running its own high-profile world championship, he would enjoy huge economic power. Havelange promised to expand the World Cup and host a youth World Cup.Rous was threatened by Havelange's international campaign for the presidency so he asked the manager of Adidas' French subsidiary to help him. The vote was to be held at the 39th congress. Havelange won the election by sixteen votes. Havelange didn't have enough money to fund his programme for the sport's governing body, so he sought financial support from Dassler, who wanted to supply Adidas branded equipment to the national federations. Adidas and Coca-Cola were enlisted as primary sponsors by Havelange. The model for global sporting federations was provided by the support of commercial organizations. The sale of television rights increased under Havelange.In 1987 the European rights to the next three World Cups were sold for $440 million, while the non- United States rights for the three tournaments from 1998 sold for $2.2 billion. Havelange oversaw six world cups during his time in office and oversaw the expansion of the World Cup from 16 to 32 teams. He introduced the U-20 World Cup and the Women's World Cup. The head of the Argentina's 1978 World Cup organizing committee was assassinated in August 1976. Before the 1976 Argentine coup d'état, Argentina did little to prepare for the 1966 World Cup. The former President of Argentina became a vice-president of the sport's governing body in 1982. The head of the organizing committee for the 1978 World Cup in Argentina was the cousin of the defacto President.In 1983 Democratic rule was restored to Argentina. Havelange was an associate of a Brazilian criminal. In 1994 he was sentenced to six years in prison. Havelange wrote a character reference for Andrade that said he was "amiable and pleasant, good family man, a devoted friend, and is admired as a sports administrator". "I allow him to use this statement as he sees fit". There is evidence that Havelange received a box from Andrade at the Rio Carnival. Lucia was married to the Brazilian football administrator for 30 years.They divorced in 1997. Between 1989 and 2012 he was the President of the Brazilian Football Confederation. He had no experience with sports administration. The feud between Pel and Havelange began in 1993 when Pel accused Havelange of corruption after his television company was rejected for domestic rights. The draw for the 1994 World Cup was banned by Havelange. Havelange's chances of being re-elected as FIFA President in 1994 were negatively affected by the criticism of the ban. Havelange embarked on an intense lobbying mission in 1974 to get votes from the Confederation of African Football, Asian Football Confederation, and the Central American, North American and Caribbean Football Confederation.The expansion of the World Cup from 24 to 32 teams was a reward for the loyalty of these "third world" football federations. As a result of the expansion and allocation of places, tension grew between the governing body of European football. The Pelé Law was approved by the lower house of the Brazilian congress in 1997. Football clubs had to become companies within two years to give players more freedom of contract and limit the power of the Brazilian Football Confederation. If the law passed, Havelange threatened to ban Brazil from the 1998 World Cup. The allocation of appointments to the standing committees was criticized by Havelange at the time. The list was passed without a vote after Havelange postponed a discussion on the appointments.After 24 years in charge, Havelange announced in 1998 that he would step down. He told Tony Blair that he wanted England to host the World Cup. The English Football Association and Havelange supported different candidates in the upcoming election. Germany would not oppose England's bid for the 1996 European Football Championship, and England would not oppose Germany's bid for the 2006 World Cup, according to a "gentleman's agreement" between the English and German football associations. The dumbest thing about breaking the agreement is that we face an expensive competition. Spending money on soccer would be better. Havelange's financial decisions were criticized by Johansson.At the meeting of the Executive Committee, Sepp Blatter was asked to resign as General Secretary if he were to run for the presidency. Havelange ended the meeting before a vote could be taken after rejecting the demand. An independent accountant would look into the business practices of football's governing body. The president was elected by a wide margin. Havelange accepted gifts of diamonds, bicycles, sports articles, Delft blue porcelain, paintings and art books in connection with Amsterdam's failed bid for the 1992 Summer Olympic Games. "I remember it very well because he had special wishes, wishes which were in conflict with the IOC laws," said Peter Kronenberg, who headed the press office of the Amsterdam Olympic Games 1992 Foundation. The collapse of ISL Disagreements between Nally and Dassler led to the foundation of ISL in 1982.ISL was established by Dassler, Guelfi, and Dentsu to help market the rights for the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. ISL won lucrative future World Cup and Olympic contracts because of Dassler's proximity to Havelange and his support for Juan Antonio Samaranch, the President of the International Olympic Committee. The ISL overpaid for sports rights in the 1990s and was declared bankrupt in 2001. ISL paid 185 million Swiss Francs to sports officials and other people involved in the marketing of sports rights. The commission was referred to as "schmiergeld", a German word for bribe, by the judge in the 2008 fraud trial. The book Foul! was written by British investigative reporter Andrew Jennings. Havelange was implicated in the collapse of ISL and some football officials were urged to repay their commission.According to Brazil's Senate, Havelange may have amassed $50 million or more in bribes through a company called Sicuretta. Havelange received a bribe of $1 million in connection with ISL, according to an IOC ethics committee. The investigation was prompted by the claims in the episode of "FIFA's Shame". Havelange resigned from the IOC due to health concerns days before the ethics committee was set to start. There were reports that the membership of Havelange would be suspended for two years. Havelange was accused of being one of the people who paid millions of dollars to close the ISL fraud trial. Havelange and Teixeira were named as beneficiaries of bribes from ISL.Havelange and Teixeira were paid 41 million Swiss Francs by ISL from 1992 to 2000, according to a document revealed by a prosecutor. In March 2012 he resigned from football's governing body. At the time of the payment, Sepp Blatter said that it was not a crime in Switzerland. The 2002 and 2006 World Cup were granted exclusive TV and radio rights by Havelange when he was President of FIFA. ISL paid over a billion dollars for the TV rights. All payments made by the company were examined by the liquidators. Under the presidency of Sepp Blatter, FIFA was found to have known about the bribes, but argued that it did not need to repay the money.The prosecutions were stopped in May 2010 after Havelange and Texeira repaid their money. Havelange was over 90 years old when the bribes were paid and the repayments were considered reasonable. The prosecutor believed that Havelange and Teixeira were guilty of violating their duties to serve as senior executives. Havelange will be stripped of his presidency at the next congress after the release of the report. In March and April 2012 Havelange was hospitalized for a serious ankle injury and had to spend a period in intensive care. He resigned from his position as FIFA's Honorary President due to health and personal reasons. Havelange was 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217He died at the age of 100 in Rio de Brazil during the 2016 Summer Olympics. The New York Times commented on Havelange's leadership prior to the eruption of most of the controversies surrounding him. Havelange was named a vice president of the Brazilian Ice Sports Federation for his support in the development of winter sports in Brazil. The Commander of the Cavaliers of the Order of Infante D. Henrique was given the award of the Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur. The 2000 Brazilian Championship was organized by Clube dos 13, an association of the Brazilian most traditional clubs. Estdio Olmpico Joo Havelange was built for the Pan American Games. The 2016 Summer Olympics and the 2016 Summer Paralympics were held at the stadium.On February 10, 2017, the stadium was renamed Estdio Olmpico.

title: Louisa Ulrika of Prussia

texts: The consort of King Adolf Frederick was <mask> of Prussia. She was the queen mother of King Gustav III. As the daughter of Frederick William I of Prussia and his wife Sophia Dorothea, <mask> was a younger sister of both Frederick the Great and Wilhelmine of Bayreuth. Queen Ulrika Eleonora of Sweden was her god mother. It was thought that she would marry a future son by Ulrika Eleonora, as she was once considered a consort for <mask>'s father. Ulrika Eleonora was childless. <mask> was described as beautiful, intelligent, with a fierce temperament and a strong will.She was given an advanced education by the governess Marthe de Roucoulle and the governor Maturin Veyssiére la Croze, both French Huguenots. Her intellectual interests were not opposed by her father who disapproved of her brothers interest for learning, but he did not object to <mask>, who was a favorite of her father. She and Frederick the Great shared an interest in science and culture. Her favorite siblings were her brothers Prince Augustus William of Prussia and Princess Sophia Dorothea of Prussia. She was introduced to a number of people at the court of her mother. From 1732 onward, Frederick Lewis, Prince of Wales, Charles III of Spain and Louis of Hesse-Darmstadt were considered for her, but none came to fruition. She didn't like the idea of becoming a reigning princess-abbess in 1743 and didn't approve of her appointment as co-adjutrix.As Frederick I of Sweden was childless, and the French de facto regent suggested a marriage between <mask> and the French candidate, Christian IV, Count of Zweibr, an election was held to appoint a crown prince to the Swedish throne. Christian lost the election to the Russian candidate. Princess Louise ofDenmark was the first candidate to be considered for a marriage to the newly elected crown prince of Sweden. When a decision was made to create a triple alliance between Sweden, Russia and Prussia, these plans were revoked. The heir to the Swedish throne was to marry a member of the royal house, while the heir to the Russian throne was to marry a member of the royal house. <mask> or her sister Princess Anna Amalia of Prussia were to be selected for the Swedish match. The proposal to make to <mask> was recommended by the Swedish envoy in Berlin.Frederick the Great preferred Anna Amalia for the Swedish marriage because he said she was more suitable for Sweden than <mask>lrika. Fredrick thought that Anna Amalia would be easier to control as a Prussian agent in Sweden than <mask> was. <mask> was chosen by the Swedes after they consulted Adolf Frederick. She was told not to get involved in politics and converted to Lutheranism on June 28. August Wilhelm was the proxy for the absent groom at the wedding of <mask> and Adolf Frederick. She was escorted from Berlin to Swedish Pomerania by the Swedish envoy count, his spouse, and niece, who was appointed her maid of honor. In Swedish Pomerania, the delegation was welcomed by the Swedish General Governor of the province and the court of the late queen under the leadership of her Mistress of the Robes.Her spouse, Crown Prince Adolf Frederick of Sweden, welcomed her when she arrived in Karlskrona. They were welcomed by King Frederick I at Drottningholm Palace, where their second wedding ceremony was performed the same day, followed by a ball, a court reception and the consummation of the marriage. At their first meeting, <mask> and Adolf Frederick had a good impression of each other, and their relationship is described as happy and harmonious. Adolf Frederick is described as submissive. <mask> was pleased with him because she felt secure in the fact that she was his superior. During their first day together, she informed him that her brother Frederick the Great had plans for an alliance between Sweden, Russia and Prussia, and asked him to raise the subject with the envoy from Prussia. The hope for the salvation of succession crisis was given to <mask>lrika by the people of Sweden.At the birth of her first child in 1745, no children had been born in the Swedish royal house in over 50 years and she gained initial popularity with her beauty, wit and interest in science and culture. She was described as the wisdom of a god in the image of an angel. After only two years, she mastered Swedish, despite her native language being French. She studied Swedish literature, gathered a Swedish language library, and created a nature scientific collection. Her arrogant and haughty demeanor made her less popular outside of the royal court. The "Young Court", as it was called, was amused with picnics, masquerades and French language amateur theater when she was there. During <mask>'s time as Crown Princess, the Crown Prince's court was dominated by the man who escorted her to Sweden.<mask> had Adolf Frederick appointed marshal at court and eventually royal governor of her son Prince Gustav. It was said that he was too eager to please <mask>rika that he was behind many amusements in the circle of the Crown Princess. There were rumors that Tessin was the lover of <mask>. <mask>'s son Gustav III addressed the rumors that his mother didn't respond to his feelings for her because he was in love with her. Among her ladies-in-waiting were the intellectual Charlotte De la Gardie, the scientist Eva Ekeblad, and the witty Anders Hpken. <mask> was involved in political activity from the moment she arrived in Sweden. She disliked the Swedish constitutional monarchy from the moment she heard about it.She didn't like the system of legal justice. She wrote that the laws are so strange and one does not dare to arrest someone on suspicion without proof, which benefits the individual more than the Kingdom. She was an ally in her wish to increase royal power, and she respected the political ability of Carl. She gave a lantern with the inscription "made only to shed light on the political system of the day" to Tessin at Christmas. She was surrounded by sympathizers of the Hats in the circle of her own court. Claes Ekeblad, Hans Henrik von Liewen, and other members of her circle of friends were sympathizers of the Hats, and through her court connections, she made an alliance with them. She had a plan to change the votes in the Riksdag's parliament.After the birth of her eldest son in 1746, she accompanied the Crown Prince on an official tour through the country, during which she gathered agents among members of the Caps through bribes. She described him as the biggest villain in the world, but she would not leave until she bribed him. That is the only way to reach the goal one has in mind. During the votes in the Riksdag, Kalsenius voted with the Hats party on issues that were interesting to <mask>. She wanted to bring back the system of absolute monarchy in Sweden. She created the L'Ordre de l'Harmonie with the motto of unity. In 1746, Russia and Great Britain attempted to stage a coup against the royal house.<mask> prepared her first coup in favor of absolute monarchy. Russia was engaged in the War of the Austrian Succession because the king had taken ill. When the Russians were engaged in the war, <mask> and the Hats party agreed to change the constitution to give the king more power if he died. The Riksdag should be given power of the army, treasury, and foreign policy according to <mask>. The coup was aborted because of the peace of the war and the recovery of Frederick I. She was loyal to Prussia. She was given a task by her brother Frederick the Great to break the alliance between Sweden and Russia in favor of an alliance with Prussia, but she failed.The night before the death of King Frederick I, <mask> prepared a coup. The plan was for Adolf Frederick to take control of the royal council immediately after the King's death, rather than being confirmed as monarch by the Riksdag of the Estates. On the night of the royal council's preparation, <mask> contacted her favorite councilman, Carl Gustaf Tessin, in his bed chamber. Tessin refused to support her plans of a coup and refused to inform her of the plans of the council. On the day of the King's death, Adolf Frederick was presented with a statement of a royal oath to sign before being acknowledged as king. In the presence of <mask>, Adolf Frederick made an oath to the Riksdag of the Estates to respect the constitution before being acknowledged as king. <mask> and her brother Frederick the Great tried to prove that the constitution allowed the monarch more power than the Riksdag had stated.She was forced to allow Adolf Frederick to sign it. On November 26, 1751, Adolf Frederick and <mask> were crowned King and Queen of Sweden. <mask> was a patron of culture and science as Queen. She founded the Royal Swedish Academy of Letters, History and Antiquities in 1753 and was the patron of Carl von Linné. She intended her "adoption" of Gustav Badin to be a scientific experiment.

She interrupted the development of the Swedish theater as she evicted the newly founded Swedish language theater at Bollhuset and replaced it with her own theater.There was a new coup in favor of absolute monarchy immediately after the coronation. If Sweden had been an absolute monarchy, Queen <mask> would have been the real ruler because she dominated her husband and the court. The Queen was born in an absolute monarchy. She couldn't understand the Riksdag. She didn't think it was right for a royal person to have to receive peasants in the royal salon. She was angry when the Riksdag forced the King to give up his claim to the throne. The representatives of the Riksdag were humiliated when she stopped their carriages at the Palace gates, forced them to wait for hours, and let those who arrived after them sit on smaller chairs to humiliate them.The French theatre troupe and the Italian opera company performed plays that encouraged the King to take control of his kingdom. He wrote in his diary that she no longer discussed politics with him and claimed that she took no part in politics. The earlier alliance with the Hats was against her plans of an absolute monarchy. She formed a new party in the Riksdag that promised rewards to her followers in the event of a coup. The leading members of this group were Carl Lwenhielm, Adam Horn, Nils Adam Bielke, Eric Wrangel and Gustaf Jacob Horn. The plan to overthrow the constitution was aborted when Claes Ekeblad refused to join the coup. She tried to convince France to withdraw their support for the Hats in order to deprive them of French support in the future.The year 1754 was the year of the disappearance of Tessin. His favor with the Queen deteriorated when he used the Riksdag to force her to agree to the engagement between Crown Prince Gustav and Sophia ofDenmark.

title: Louisa Ulrika of Prussia

texts: Tessin was in love with her and was able to hide his feelings for the crown princess. <mask> mentioned in her memoirs that she had been offended by the idea of a physical relationship between the Queen and Tessin. In 1769, Crown Prince Gustav wrote that Tessin had made <mask>lrika "suggestions far from the reverence one is expected to show toward a sovereign." The Queen was offended by her pride and told the King.The exile of Count and Countess Tessin from court was caused by this incident. The queen said that she missed her. The Queen was in conflict with the Riksdag because of the question on the replacement of Tessin as the governor of the Crown Prince. The Riksdag was able to make an appointment even after the candidate had been refused by the Queen. In 1755, the Riksdag decided to correct the loop holes in the constitution which <mask> had used to claim that the King had more power than the Riksdag had allowed him to practice. If the monarch refused to sign the constitution, a stamp with his name on it would be used. A commission of the state began to investigate political crimes.Eric Wrangel, one of <mask>'s followers, fled to Norway to avoid arrest. The Queen's plan of a coup d'état was triggered by this provocation. The first plan was for the royal couple to visit Drottningholm Palace. The Life Guards and possibly the Nrke, Vrmland and Uppland would march toward the capital. The plan was aborted because of the King's illness. The Crown Jewels were pawned to finance the coup. In the three months following her coronation, <mask> removed 44 diamonds from the Queen's Crown and replaced them with glass, which she pawned in Berlin as security for a loan by her brother August.Rumors reached the Riksdag. The Riksdag was told that parts of the Crown Jewels were missing by a lady-in-waiting of the Queen. The Riksdag demanded to inventory the crown jewels. The queen didn't allow them to see the crown jewels because she thought they were her private property. After the King was taken ill, she was given the time to send the jewels from Berlin. She was forced to give them the inventory on June 22. Despite the protests of king Adolf Frederick, she and her followers planned to stage a coup before that day.The plan was to bribe members of the public. The supporters of Hovpartiet would take control of the garrison through bribes. The Riksdag would be closed and the opposition arrested when the military took over the capital's military headquarters to deal with the riots. The royalist was overheard talking about the plans of a royal revolution while he was drunk. One of the royalist officers, Christiernin, tried to get the officer of the garrison, Schedvin, involved in the coup. The King and Queen left the capital for Ulriksdal Palace to avoid being present during the inventory of the Crown Jewels. On the same day, a number of people were arrested.The whole plot was revealed during the interrogation. The streets were guarded by militia when the King and Queen returned to the capital. The members fled to avoid arrest. The Queen's followers were executed in July of 1756. There were discussions about how to deal with Queen <mask>'s guilt, as she was responsible for the attempted coup d'état. In the end, no action was taken against her. On August 4, 1756, a delegation from the Riksdag presented <mask> with a note, which she was made to reply with a letter of regret.She was responsible for the blood of the recently executed because she forgot her duty to God, her consort and the Kingdom of Sweden. She replied to the note from the Riksdag with gratitude for the reprimands on behalf of the good of the nation and herself, and assured that she had wished no evil upon the Kingdom. She had tears of rage and sorrow in her eyes. In private, <mask> regarded the reprimand as a humiliation, and wrote to her brother Frederick the Great that she tried to show contempt during the interview. A statement was read for the King by a delegation from the Riksdag, stating that he would be deposed if such an incident occurred again. Prussia was the birth country of <mask>lrika when Sweden entered the Seven Years' War. Since she assumed that a Swedish victory over Prussia would result in the deposition of Christian of Zweibrucken-Birkenfeld, the Queen opposed the act.She thought a Swedish defeat would be a good opportunity for a coup d'état in favor of absolute monarchy. She asked her brother Frederick the Great to ask her to be a peace broker. She couldn't use the moment because she didn't have enough money for bribes. She was able to get funds from Great Britain and Prussia and make an alliance with the Caps to affect the Riksdag in favor of peace with Prussia. Her suggestion of peace with Prussia was accepted in the Riksdag in exchange for a promise not to take revenge on the Hats. She was given the official assignment from the Riksdag to handle the peace negotiations with Prussia and secure that Sweden could keep Swedish Pomerania, and she was officially thanked by the Riksdag for her service to the state in May. The government paid her debts, which made it possible for her to use her money to influence the voting in the Riksdag.She demanded that the reform of the constitution be withdrawn in exchange for her service during the war. It was decided that a special Riksdag of the states should be summoned to discuss a revised constitution. In order to prepare for a successful reform in favor of absolute monarchy, <mask> negotiated with members of both the Caps and the Hats. She worked with the two parties to get them to agree on a constitution before the Riksdag was summoned. To prepare foreign powers for a new political system in Sweden, she founded a secret cabinet, Secret de la Reine, to handle her private foreign policy. She had Carl Julius von Bohlen appointed official ambassador to Sweden in Prussia, as well as appointing an informal ambassador to Catherine the Great in Russia. She was able to get the support of Russia, France and Great Britain, but not the funds to bribe the Riksdag.In 1764, the unity between the Caps and Hats parties was broken due to the suspicions of France and Great Britain, which deprived <mask> of her alliance with the Hats party. During the Riksdag of 1765, the Queen attempted to balance the Caps and the Hats by creating a third party of her followers from both parties, which she managed to have elected vice speaker. The Caps party won the election to the Riksdag. She was able to secure her alliance with the Caps by demonstrating how she could affect the votes in the parliament through her third party. Kina Slott was summoned by the Ambassador of Russia to get support from Russia and its allies. When the question of the Constitution was raised in the Riksdag in August, the Caps refused to accept an increased royal power and instead limited the power of the Crown even more. Her efforts failed once again.Queen <mask>'s position deteriorated due to the declining health of her spouse, King Adolf Frederick, and the growing maturity of her son, Crown Prince Gustav. She tried to prevent her son from taking a seat in the royal council when he was declared an adult. The tense relationship between her and her son, whom she viewed as a political rival, grew when he opposed her will by insistence to honor his engagement to Sophia Magdalena ofDenmark, instead of marrying a Prussian bride selected by her, which he viewed as a way. The Queen harassed the Crown Princess when she arrived in Sweden. Her son, the Crown Prince, became the leader of the followers of absolute monarchy after the Riksdag. When the French ambassador sketched a suggestion of a Swedish coup d'état, it was the Crown Prince rather than the Queen who was seen as the natural center figure. The Riksdag was summoned to handle the December Crisis after the King refused to sign a state document.The coup d'état was aborted because the Hats party broke an agreement rather than because of the Queen's opposition to it, despite the fact that <mask> did not support it. Her arrogance, political views and conflicts with the Riksdag made her less and less liked as Queen. "It seems obvious that our Queen would have been the most ardent of republicans, had she been born a subject, but God has allowed her to be born in a position, were one wary of one's power". The King died in 1741. <mask> was unpopular in Sweden. When the news of the old King's death reached her son, the new King Gustav III of Sweden, he wrote that the Queen Mother be protected, as "I know how little loved my mother is". Her son succeeded in overthrowing the democracy and reinstating absolute monarchy in the Revolution of 1772, which was a great satisfaction to her."Yes, you are my son, and you deserve to be", <mask>lrika wrote to Gustav III after the coup. She and her daughter were in Berlin at the time of the coup. The Province of Swedish Pomerania gave their support to the new constitution. She wrote to her brother that she would defend the province of Pomerania against him after he told her that the neighboring countries would attack Sweden. <mask> could not settle for the position of Queen Dowager. When her son made it clear that he would rule independently from her, their relationship deteriorated. Her second son Charles was married to Hedwig Elizabeth Charlotte of Holstein-Gottorp instead of marrying Philippine of Brandenburg-Schwedt.She established her own court at the palace after Gustav III paid her debts. She was forced to sell the palace to her son. She was a central figure in the great succession scandal regarding the legitimacy of the Crown Prince after the conflict with her son erupted. Charles and Frederick Adolf visited her in 1777. They claimed that all women at court had lovers, and that their mother was the only one who did not. The Queen must be an exception according to <mask>. Her sons asked her if she had heard of the rumors that Sophia had an affair with Munck.Prince Charles was ordered to investigate if this was true, as his inheritance to the throne would be jeopardized by a common nobleman. Charles talked to Munck, Munck talked to King Gustav, and Charles claimed that the Queen Mother was to blame for the conflict between mother and son. The son of the King was rumored to be the son of Munck. The King was accused of having another man father his child. The King threatened to exile her to Pomerania. Her children, who had always been her favorites, took her side against the King. <mask> withdrew her accusation after being forced to make a formal statement.The statement was signed by the entire adult royal family except the royal couple. She was on her deathbed when the relationship with Gustav was repaired. She passed away in Svartsj. The children she had were Gustav III of Sweden, Charles XIII of Sweden, Frederick Adolf, and Sophia

He was an inspiration for later UK comic-book artists such as Brian Bolland, Dave Gibbons and Chris Weston, as well as Indonesian artist Apri Kusbiantoro. <mask> was educated at St. Paul's School in Hammersmith, a suburb of London. <mask> failed his final exams after he joined the Army and used his gratuity to study art at the London South Bank University. A former student visited the school to show students the work he was doing as a letterer on comic strips. <mask> was inspired to take some samples to an editor at Amalgamated Press who suggested he try showing them to Mick Anglo, who ran a studio packaging comic strips for a London publisher and magazine distributor.<mask> worked for four years for Anglo, drawing the adventures of superhero Marvelman and various Western comic strips. After an argument with Anglo over pay rates, he found work with Odhams Press, drawing Wells Fargo for Zip, and contributing episodes of Billy the Kid to the comic Sun. <mask> switched to swashbuckling historical strips when the Sun merged with Lion. A colour strip produced for Lion Annual 1965, 'Karl the Viking and the Tideless Sea', led to <mask> being offered colour work in Bible Story magazine and The Rise and Fall of the Trigan Empire. The strip was to be drawn in the pages of Ranger and Look and Learn. The first convention dedicated to British comic book creators was held in London in 1976. The Trigan Empire was syndicated all over Europe.When his publisher refused to give him any form of compensation, he left his old employer and was immediately offered work on a new Dutch comic magazine called Eppo. <mask> found success with Storm after an unsuccessful start to a strip called Commander Grek written by his friend Vince Wernham. The Deep World was written by Philip Dunn but was based on a concept by Martin Lodewijk. There were 22 volumes after that.

Numerous other financial professionals were warned about the operation by Merrill Lynch. The $300 million dollars received by the company via the Ponzi scheme was eventually revealed to be a fraud. The owners of the company were sued by the victims of the Ponzi scheme who claimed they should have known about it. In 2012 it was reported that a gift of 23 acres of land from New York City would be used to build a shopping mall. The city spent a half a billion dollars acquiring and improving that land. The Attorney General of New York reached a settlement regarding illegal lobbying.In 2015, a New York state court ruled that part of the plan was illegal because it involved private development of public parkland. The plans for a shopping mall had been put on hold by the De Blasio administration. The deal was approved by the Queens Board.

Picard filed a lawsuit for 1 billion in illegal profits from the scheme. In 2012 <mask>, Gregory, Fred, Jeff, and other partners settled with Picard for $162 million. <mask> and his partner and brother-in-law Fred Wilpon were forced to pay $13 million to investors in a Ponzi scheme after Israel's hedge fund collapsed.
