KAYE, Sir Arthur, 3rd Bt. (c.1670-1726), of Woodsome, Yorks.
Available from Boydell and Brewer
Family and Education
b. c.1670, 3rd but 1st surv. s. of Sir John Kaye, 2nd Bt.* educ. Christ Church, Oxf. matric. 2 Mar. 1686, aged 15. m. lic. 22 July 1690, Anne da. and coh. of Sir Samuel Marrow, 1st Bt., of Berkswell, Warws., 1da. suc. fa. as 3rd Bt., 8 Aug. 1706.1
Little is known of Kaye’s early life save for his entry to Oxford, it being uncertain whether the ‘Mr Arthur Key’ who appeared upon subscription lists of the mid-1690s for both the Bank of England and the land bank was the future Member. Though his marriage brought him lands in Warwickshire, it was in Yorkshire, where his father was a considerable landowner, that Kaye pursued his political ambitions, his desire to enter Parliament being first demonstrated when he was defeated at the Aldborough by-election of 1696. Kaye’s supporters petitioned the Commons against the return, but though the election of Kaye’s opponent was voided on grounds of bribery a subsequent motion that Kaye had been duly returned was defeated. He confounded expectations by declining to stand at the consequent by-election, a decision perhaps influenced by the lengthy delay in issuing the new writ. Kaye’s aspiration to a seat in the Commons did not surface again for over a decade, though in 1706 he petitioned the House for an estate bill to settle the debts of his recently deceased brother Thomas and those of Christopher Lister*, the former having inherited the latter’s estates after changing his name from Kaye to Lister. The following year the passage of the bill for a new parish in Birmingham led to Kaye’s consent to the measure being sought and given. Defeated at the Yorkshire election of 1708, Kaye finally entered the Commons in 1710, swept in upon a tide of High Church fervour and despite allegations, which Kaye strenuously denied, that his support for the Toleration Act was less than wholehearted. Given this it is not surprising that the ‘Hanover list’ classed him as a Tory, and that shortly before the session one of the Commons’ leading Churchmen, William Bromley II*, wrote to him to express the hope that ‘new friends’ would take care to ensure their attendance at the beginning of the session.2
Kaye’s High Tory beliefs were consistently confirmed by his behaviour in the Commons, examination of which is greatly aided by the survival of a number of his speeches and of a diary begun at the start of the 1710–11 session, written ‘to supply the defect of an ill memory’. This material, and Kaye’s few surviving letters, demonstrates the expectation of a High Tory back-bencher that the revival of Tory fortunes would lead to the rigorous implementation of partisan policies, and it quickly became clear that Kaye expected the fruits of political dominance to be placed at the disposal of the Tories. In December 1710 he initiated what was to be a lengthy campaign to gain minor government office for an impecunious Yorkshire friend, writing of his hope ‘that things will not be disposed of by the same standard of deserving . . . that . . . has so long been the rule and step to preferments, but that gentlemen of family and merit will now be advanced, and the appearances of virtue which they [the ministry] affect will become real’. This did not, however, prevent Kaye supporting the place legislation dear to the hearts of Country Tories. A speech in his papers, probably delivered in the debate of 21 Dec. upon the committal of the place bill, argued that though the ‘happy change of administration’ was to be welcomed, the need for such a bill had not diminished:
I cannot forget the ill effects of too many placemen within these walls were once thought to have upon the public. And though you are now in hands which we believe will not follow ill examples or make an ill use of their power, yet the affairs of England have seldom been so steady but that in a few years there have still been changes in the ministry, and ’tis against such changes that I think we ought in a good Parliament to provide against the ill consequences of a bad one.
However, as early as the Christmas recess Kaye’s confidence in the virtue of the ministry was seeping away. In a letter to a friend he questioned
whether this Parliament will either answer those just expectations people have from it; whether they will come into any effectual enquiries to lay open the late mismanagements; or give us that security to the Church we have wanted and thought necessary, and now expected. And consequently [I doubt] whether we shall keep that regular good correspondence which at this time is absolutely necessary to establish their new power . . . I can’t but fear of some things I have already observed. Yet I am pretty confident that, if none will suffer themselves to be drawn off, ’tis entirely in their power by keeping firmly and closely united to make the ministry in great measure come into us, instead of our depending upon them.
This partisan zeal was again evident in the new year in debates touching upon religious matters, though Kaye’s views upon Dissenters should be delineated with care. His sensitivity to claims that the Tories aimed at ending the indulgence afforded by the Toleration Act is evident in his account of the debate on 10 Jan. 1711 upon whether the committee considering the bill to prevent bribery and corruption in elections should be empowered to receive a clause maintaining Quakers’ rights of affirmation. Kaye recorded that the Tories supported this motion ‘to take off the jealousy of designing anything against the Toleration which the faction [Whigs] would have insinuated, and leaving [it] to the Parliament to let it fall or still prolong it upon its expiring’. A speech prepared for the debate of the following day upon the East Retford election case suggests that Kaye joined Tory attacks upon the creation of freemen by that borough’s Whig interest, and he laid particular emphasis upon allegations that many of those made ‘honorary freemen’ by the Whigs had been educated in Yorkshire at ‘a Dissenting seminary, a public nursery of schism and sedition, where youth is educated in a notorious disaffection to Church and state’, further claiming that the Dissenting academy was ‘illegal in itself’ and expressing the hope that Parliament would ‘take a proper time to take further notice’ of the activities of such academies. Kaye’s attitude to Nonconformity therefore seemed to be the conjunction of a desire to prevent the perpetuation of Protestant schism by acting against Dissenting academies with a willingness to accept the necessity of the Toleration Act for those with tender consciences. His more parochial concerns were evident later the same month in the committee of the whole of the 26th upon the imposition of a duty on inland coal, a speech of Kaye’s probably delivered on this date arguing that such a levy would place an unreasonable burden upon the already ‘poor people’ of Yorkshire involved in the wool industry and who relied upon coal, thereby increasing greatly the poor rates of parishes containing those ‘thousands’ of individuals forced into penury by the duty. Kaye’s continuing support for the place bill was evident at its third reading on 29 Jan., the Court’s unsuccessful opposition prompting Kaye to comment upon Harley’s ‘mortification to see what the Country gentlemen’s interest may do, if they don’t suffer themselves to be tricked out of that union they ought to preserve unviolable’. His opinion of the Court fell further on 3 Feb. when consideration of the Tavistock election case revealed that the bribery and corruption which led to the unseating of the Tory Henry Manaton had been conclusively proved against the other sitting Member the Whig Sir John Cope. Kaye regarded the refusal of the House to investigate the evidence against Cope as the consequence of the Court’s ambivalence towards the issue of electoral corruption. Kaye did not, however, entirely despair of the possibility that the ministry could be brought to embrace other back-bench Tory policies such as a more comprehensive sweep of Whig placeholders from office, as in February he wrote that ‘I do really believe [that] there will be several removes toward the end of the session’. His determination to ensure that the ministry paid heed to the concerns of back-bench Tories was demonstrated the following month, when Kaye showed a typical Tory suspicion of new taxes on 26 Mar. by opposing the leather duty proposed by the ministry due to ‘the heaviness of the duty and the vexation I feared in the collecting [of] it’. His diary suggests that Kaye was one of those Tories who withstood the blandishments of Henry St. John II* to stand by this opposition when the duty was reintroduced under a different name the following day. On 7 Apr. Kaye told on the Tory side in a division on the Cockermouth election case, but he was not an unthinking advocate of Country Tory measures, however, since he noted the defeat on 17 Apr. of the bill to prevent bribery in elections with the considered opinion that ‘though there were many good things in’ the measure, it nevertheless needed further amendment ‘and I believed we were not in such haste [as to have] to take it with its faults in the first session, when a better bill might be prepared the succeeding meeting’, while the Lords’ rejection of the grants resumption bill caused Kaye little concern. The zealous Toryism demonstrated by Kaye throughout the session saw him included on both the list of ‘Tory patriots’ who had opposed the continuation of the war and the list of ‘worthy patriots’ who had helped detect the mismanagements of the previous administration, and given his determination to press the ministry to enact Tory measures it is not surprising that this latter list also described Kaye as a member of the October Club.3
Though records of Kaye’s speeches are less plentiful for the remainder of the Parliament, it is clear that he remained a staunch Tory. As much was demonstrated during the passage of the occasional conformity bill in December 1711. Kaye welcomed the measure while noting in his diary that the surprisingly rapid passage of the bill ‘remains a mystery to me on the part of the Whigs’. In a speech probably delivered in one of the meetings of the committee of the whole on the measure, he repeated his concern at the growth of Dissenting academies, expressing the belief that ‘every gentleman here will agree with me that those seminaries are in no wise comprehended in that Act of Indulgence granted to those scrupulous consciences so unhappy [as] to differ from us . . . which I believe was never the intention of the makers of that law to encourage, much less to perpetuate’. The 1711–12 session saw Kaye take a more prominent role in the legislative activities of the House. His most notable committee nominations were to draft bills to revive the Jury Acts (18 Jan.), continue expiring laws (15 Feb.), and prevent fraud in parliamentary elections (18 Feb.). He also told in favour of imposing a duty on imported black latten (24 Apr.), and against an amendment to the bill to recover small gifts and legacies for charitable uses which would have exempted wills from stamp duty (7 June). Though evidence of Kaye’s political opinions in this session is scarce, it is significant that in April 1712 he joined Richard Shuttleworth* and Sir Edmund Bacon, 6th Bt.*, two Tories who later allied themselves with the Hanoverian wing of the party, in writing a letter to the Earl of Oxford (as Harley had become) recommending a mutual acquaintance for a place. In July Kaye presented to the Queen an address from Leeds corporation, but the 1713 session demonstrated that his disillusionment with the ministry, first evident at the end of 1710, had developed apace. His continuing concern for the Established Church was clearly evident in the early part of the session with his appointment on 23 Apr. to draft a bill to allow the enclosure of common land in the West Riding and apply the revenue therefrom towards endowing poor parishes; having told on 5 May for the bill’s committal, he guided the measure through the Commons. Back-bench Tory concerns were also evident in Kaye’s appointment on 12 May to draft a bill to explain the clause in the previous session’s Act against electoral corruption relating to the ‘multiplying of votes’ in county elections. It was, however, the passage of the French commerce bill that demonstrated his disillusionment with the ministry. On 9 June he told against hearing a report of the ways and means committee which listed the alterations of duties made necessary by the commercial treaty, and on the 18th spoke and told against engrossing the bill. Naturally he was included on the printed division list as voting against the measure.4
Returned unopposed at the Yorkshire election later that year, Kaye informed the Commons on 16 Feb. 1714 of the Queen’s instruction to choose a Speaker. Having recited the personal qualities required, Kaye stated that the Speaker ‘ought to be a person unquestionably true to the interest of the Church of England; upon which the safety of the state depends’, and proceeded to nominate (Sir) Thomas Hanmer II (4th Bt.), extolling his ‘sincere adherence to our constitutions . . . [and] affection to the House of Hanover’. This nomination was unopposed, and suggests that in relation to the internecine conflict endemic in the Tory party by this time Kaye was one of those who enlisted himself in Hanmer’s interest. Subsequent to his being nominated on 9 Mar. to draft a bill to prevent wool smuggling, Kaye’s Country loyalties were clearly demonstrated on the 11th when he moved the introduction of a place bill. After guiding this legislation through its Commons’ stages during March, he was appointed on 5 Apr. to carry the bill to the Lords. His Hanoverian loyalties and association with Hanmer were demonstrated later the same month in the debate of the 15th upon the succession. One observer listed Kaye as one of the Tories who, having been given ‘great life’ by Hanmer’s speech against the ministry, opposed the motion that the succession was not in danger, while two other accounts state that Kaye moved that the Speaker retake the Chair before the main question could be put. This hostility to the ministry was also evident later the same month when Kaye was counted with the leading Hanoverian Tories Hanmer and Ralph Freman II as ‘revolters from the Ch[urch] party’ upon the issue of the Lords’ resolution in support of the ministry’s peace policy, though whether Kaye actually spoke in the debate of 22 Apr. on this resolution is uncertain. Despite his increasing alienation from the ministry, Kaye’s Tory loyalties remained firm and were clearly demonstrated in his support for legislative attempts to strengthen the Church of England. On 1 May he was appointed to draft a bill to extend from the West Riding to the nation as a whole the scheme to endow poor Anglican livings from the revenue generated by enclosure, but his support for the Anglican establishment was most vivid in his advocacy of the schism bill. Having been appointed on the 12th to draft this measure, he told on the 27th in favour of accepting an amendment ‘to excuse Dissenters teaching to write’. A speech supporting the measure, probably delivered during the debates of the same month, clearly demonstrates that Kaye’s approach to this issue was the same as when he first entered the House:
I hope sir, I shan’t be understood to intend the weakening [of] the toleration, let that be enjoyed which with convenient restrictions may lessen evil and remove some inconveniences; but all can never be taken away without another sort of education. And as the toleration was first intended for those unhappy scrupulous consciences only, who had then the misfortune to dissent from us, I believe no gentleman here will believe it was intended to propagate the schism. If it be a natural right to choose what religion he will profess, there is yet no right of nature which I know of but what is limitable to the public good and forfeitable by the abuse of it. And when the public peace is hazarded, the safety of the government endangered, when ’tis apparent religion is damnified, [by] the persons professing those doctrines, the propagating of those doctrines ought to be restrained.
Kaye’s Country sympathies were given further expression the following month when he told, on 14 June, against a motion to instruct the committee of the whole on the public accounts bill to reappoint five of the existing commissioners without a Commons’ ballot, the motion being defeated. Given his alliance in this session with prominent Whimsical Tories such as Hanmer and Freman, it is not surprising that the Worsley list classed Kaye as a Tory who would on occasion vote with the Whigs.5
Though suffering from illness at the end of 1714, Kaye was returned unopposed for Yorkshire in the election of the following year, and a comparison of the 1713 and 1715 Parliaments classed him as a Tory. He retained his Yorkshire seat and opposed successive Whig ministries until his death on 10 July 1726. By his will, in which Hanmer was named as one of three trustees, Kaye left his estates to his only daughter, through whom they eventually passed to the earls of Dartmouth, while his baronetcy passed to his nephew John, who represented York as a Tory in the 1734 Parliament.6

A new policy report endorsed by the German Ministry of Environment confirms that opportunities and possibilities offered by a massive backing of energy efficiency measures are much greater than expected.
It finds that by 2050 Europe’s overall final energy demand could be reduced by 57% compared to the baseline with annual savings of $644bn (EUR500bn).
The saving potential in industrial heat generationà‚ is primarily due to a further diffusion of CHP technology replacing units of separate heat and electricity generation as well as to efficiency improvements of separate and combined heat generation technologies and considerable efficiency improvements in space heating technologies.
This new study came just months after the adoption in Germany of the third CHP Law setting an aggressive 25% objective by 2020, up from 14.5% in 2010, of electricity produced by cogeneration plants. The law features a series of policy instruments to more effectively tap into the national potential for cogeneration and supports both large industrial CHP plants and smaller and more flexible CHP units.
The report,”Contribution of Energy Efficiency Measures to Climate protection within the European Union to 2050” was commissioned by the German Ministry of Environment from the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI.

The world is a spectacular place, full of vibrant colors.
These colors can be found in nature, festivals, or art.
If you are in need of some inspiration, check out these most colorful places in the world.
Northern Lights, Alaska
The Northern Lights have fascinated people for thousands of years. The lights can be seen in both the very north and the very south, with Aurora Borealis in the north and Aurora Austrailis in the south.
These lights appear in the clear night, painting the sky with greens, pinks, and even reds, blues, and purples.
A popular place to view the Borealis is in Alaska. Hotels and resorts can arrange travel for you to comfortably watch the lights.
Read more about visiting these lights here.
You may have seen pictures of this vibrant city and UNESCO World Heritage site online. Rows and rows of colorful buildings and houses seem to be stacked upon each other in this Mexican city, painting quite the picture.
The city was also the inspiration for the Land of the Dead in Disney/Pixar’s “Coco”.
Guanajuato is full of history and art, from four archeological zones, to dancers, to the art in The Sanctuary of Atotonilco. There’s even a mummy museum!
With both its history and architecture, Guanajuato is one of the most colorful places in the world.
The Southeastern region of France near the Mediterranean boasts some of the world’s most magnificent landscapes. The famous French Riviera is located in this region as well.
There are many small towns in Provence, including Arles, where Vincent Van Gogh painted 187 pieces from 1888-1889. Looking at his work, it’s easy to see that it was the beauty and color of the French countryside that inspired him.
Las Salinas de Torrevieja, Spain
Las Salinas de Torrevieja is a national park located in Spain. This park is also home to a very peculiar lake.
Due to the high concentrations of salt and minerals found in this body of water, the entire lake is a pale pink. The scene is made even more colorful by its flamingo population.
The lake is shallow, and visitors come here to experience the detoxifying nature of the minerals.
Walking paths, horse rides, and trains are also available to help you enjoy your experience.
Fushimi Inari-taisha, Japan
Fushimi Inari-taisha, or Shrine, is located in Kyoto, Japan. This is the head shrine of Inari, the Shinto god of rice and sake.
While the shrine itself is stunning, as well as the dozens of statues of foxes (the messengers of Inari), graveyards, and miniature shrines, many people visit Fushimi Inari-taisha for its path of 5,000 bright orange torii gates.
These gates have been featured in many movies, and offer a breathtaking experience.
Rainbow Mountains, China
The Rainbow Mountains are something you have to see to believe.
Comprised of layers and layers of different colored sandstone and minerals, these mountains look like a rainbow of vivid colors that include red, yellow, green, and blue.
The mountains are located in Zhangye Danxia Landform Geological Park in China and are a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The world is full of color and inspiration. Everywhere you look in nature, there are vivid blues, greens, and more.

When it comes to mainstream superheroes, you don't get much scarier than Batman. While he's far from the only superhero who models himself after a creepy-crawling critter that most people aren't happy to find in their attic, Batman knowingly embraces the most menacing aspects of his totem animal. Between flying through the night and preying on his criminal victims, just about the only thing Batman doesn't do is drink their blood... well, except in that one story, which we'll get to here in a bit.
In any case, though Batman is usually a hero whose moral values are a major part of how he operates — with a "no-killing" code being one of his fundamental rules in most portrayals of the character — he's also a vigilante who uses the shadows to his advantage, singling out the fears and insecurities of his enemies and violently interrogating them when he feels it's necessary. They say that criminals are a superstitious and cowardly lot, but let's face it, Batman can be pretty scary sometimes. Here are 15 Times That Batman Was Completely Terrifying.
15 The Last Moments of The Killing Joke
Alan Moore and Brian Bolland's The Killing Joke is probably the defining Joker story of the modern era, and it's no surprise that it finally was adapted to animation this year. By showing the Joker at his absolute worst, and at the same time showing glimpses of a more tragic backstory, it gives us a better understanding of the Joker's psychology than almost any other story to date. The book examines the twisted relationship between Batman and the Joker, what it means to both of them, and questions how different the two really are.
The ending of the book also has one of the scariest Batman moments ever written. Two different interpretations exist, and while both differ tremendously in regard to future stories — either the Joker is alive, or he isn't — both versions are equally disturbing.
Here's what we know for sure. At the climax, after all of the atrocities that the Joker has committed to Barbara Gordon, Jim Gordon, and so many others, the clown-faced mass murderer tells a joke... and Batman laughs with him. What happens afterward is up to the reader. In the panel above, the in-continuity explanation is that Batman is grabbing the Joker's shoulder, as the two enemies share a laugh together for the first time. Alternatively, many readers believe that he's grabbing Joker's throat, and that this story is intended to be seen as the final moment between the two adversaries. Batman has finally been pushed too far, and so he snaps, strangling the Joker to death. Either way, this moment of total instability is terrifying to see from a normally calculated figure like Batman.
14 That Time He Became a Vampire
We did mention the whole drinking blood thing...
Considering that Batman has existed for three quarters of a century, it was only a matter of time before someone wrote this story. Luckily, it occurs in an alternate universe, so we still get to read human Batman stories today. Nonetheless, the Batman and Dracula Trilogy stands out as the one story that finally transformed Bruce Wayne into a true creature of the night.
In the first part of the trilogy, Batman discovers that Dracula is real, alive, and preying on homeless people in Gotham. Surely enough, Batman ends up getting bitten and transformed into a vampire, which gives him the strength to defeat Dracula's horde. He lures Dracula's forces to Wayne Manor, impales Dracula on a tree, and then becomes the new leader of the vampires. By the third part of the trilogy, Batman is busy murdering and drinking the blood of all of his old enemies, until he finally kills himself by exposing himself to sunlight.
13 Batman Begins: The First Appearance of Batman
One of the common complaints about the Burton/Schumacher Batman movies was always how robotic Batman was: bulky, armored in rubber so thick that he couldn't turn his head, and usually marching down streets like a Bat-Terminator. The Batman in the '90s films was a sharp contrast to the fluid, stealthy movements of the comic book and animated versions of Batman, which disappointed many fans.
The big opening reveal of the Dark Knight in Batman Begins forever changed the paradigm. For the first time, Batman was portrayed less like a super-cop and more like an invisible monster, lurking in the shadows, pouncing upon Falcone's thugs and tearing them away into unknown fates as the remaining ones fired into the darkness. The most menacing moment, of course, is when a thug screams "Where are you?!" and Batman hangs behind him and gently whispers, "Here."
This all culminates in the scene where Batman rips Falcone from the car, announces his name, and then chains the mob boss to a searchlight. This was a Batman who had come from a horror movie, not a superhero flick, and it made for one of the most memorable scenes in any comic book movie to date.
12 Batman Begins - "Swear to ME!"
Luckily for, Batman Begins was filled with scary Batman moments, and we're just gonna roll right into its next insanely freaky excerpt. Christian Bale's Batman electrifies the screen whenever he appears, more like a wild animal than a man, forming a sharp contrast to the movie's very human and vulnerable Bruce Wayne. But as threatening as Batman may be when he's beating up criminals, he's a hell of a lot scarier when he's interrogating them.
When Batman interrogates Flass (who swears to god that he's telling the truth) and growls the now-famous line "Swear to me!," it's a moment that is as terrifying for the audience as it is for the crooked detective. In that moment, it's clear just how much Bruce's Batman personality pushes him to the brink. All of the rage and inner torment that Bruce has ever experienced is seeping through his pores, and his voice is no longer fully human. Re-watching Batman Begins, it's worth noting how perfect Bale's Batman voice is here. Though it became too exaggerated in the film's sequels, his Batman Begins voice struck the perfect balance between man and beast.
11 The Batman of Zur-En-Arrh
Batman is so composed and methodical that sometimes it's easy to forget just how tangled his mind really is. After all, it takes a lot for someone to get in a bat-costume and beat up criminals, and even more for that person to devote their entire adult life to something as impossible as eradicating crime, much less having the dedication to actually be successful at it.
At one point, Bruce Wayne volunteers for an isolation experiment, wherein Dr. Simon Hurt implants a post-hypnotic trigger into his mind: the phrase "Zur-En-Arrh," which is a mishearing that Bruce had of his father's final words — "They'd probably throw Zorro in Arkham" — before the man was murdered. Later on, the Black Glove uses the Zur-En-Arrh trigger against Batman, combined with a cocktail of drugs, resulting in an irrational and amnesiac Bruce Wayne becoming lost in Gotham's back alleys. Bruce ends up putting together a rather odd Batman costume and calling himself the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh, hallucinating a character called Bat-Mite, and causing all kinds of other crazy happenings. This brightly-colored Batman is far more violent and dangerous than his regular counterpart, though luckily Bruce is soon snapped out of it.
10 Dark Knight Returns
Frank Miller's classic The Dark Knight Returns, one of the most influential comic books of the 1980s, tells the story of what happens to Gotham when Batman disappears... and then, when he comes back. But his return, though needed, isn't a glowing, radiant sun in the sky — it's a lightning bolt, striking down on the forces that have corrupted the city ever since he vanished.
During Batman's decade of retirement, Gotham is overrun by a gang of "mutants," widespread corruption spreads, and the United States prepares for WWIII with the Soviet Union. Superman is now the government's loyal lapdog. Finally, Bruce Wayne decides he's seen enough and becomes Batman once more, hitting the streets with grim vengeance, leaving blood and broken bones in his wake. The epic finale has Batman don an armored suit in a violent confrontation against Superman that served as inspiration for this year's Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. Though the comic's portrayal of Superman is lacking, the battle itself is unforgettable, and it's no surprise that it finally made it to the big screen.
9 Locking up KGBeast
Speaking of Cold War Batman stories, another of the Caped Crusader's darker moments was in Batman #420, where his actions clearly violated his usual no-killing code. The story pits the Dark Knight against a villain named KGBeast, a brutal Soviet assassin sent to kill ten government officials, including the president of the United States. KGBeast proves to be Batman's equal, succeeding at assassinating almost all of his targets, at one point poisoning an entire banquet of 100 people just to knock out the one he's aiming for. Even when Batman gets KGBeast's hand tangled up in the bat rope, the assassin grabs an axe and chops it off, later replacing it with a cybernetic machine gun. It's pretty clear that there's no stopping this guy, and even if Batman does manage to capture him, he'll only be shipped back to the Soviet Union and released.
Finally, Batman ends up leading KGBeast to the sewers of Gotham. At this point, Batman does the unthinkable: he locks KGBeast up in an underground room, with no sources of water or food, and walks away.
8 Batman Begins - The Fear Gas Hallucination
When you take a figure like Batman, who uses fear to strike at the hearts of his enemies, and pair him off against Scarecrow, a villain who achieves his crimes through the use of fear gas, there's two things that everyone wants to know: first, what does the fear gas do to Batman, and second, what does Batman look like to someone under the influence of the fear gas? Since Scarecrow had been rumored to appear in a movie since 1997, fans had been waiting to see both these things come to life on the big screen, and Batman Begins delivered.
The movie shows a few glimpses of Batman via fear gas hallucinations, both of which are suitably demonic. In one, we see him flying over the Narrows with glowing eyes, looking like his namesake. The scarier and more memorable hallucination, however, is the one that Scarecrow himself experiences when Batman douses him with his own fear gas. Batman's interrogation techniques are scary enough, but when complemented by the monstrous visage above, it takes on a whole other level. It's not so surprising that Crane goes crazy and starts riding a horse through Gotham soon afterward.
7 The Death of Abattoir
Now, an important disclaimer here: this Batman isn't Bruce Wayne. See, in the comics, when Bane breaks Bruce Wayne's back over his knee just as he does Dark Knight Rises, it knocks the Caped Crusader out of commission for a while. In the void left by Wayne's absence, a new man must take up the cape and cowl, and that Batman ends up being Jean-Paul Valley, formerly known as the assassin, Azrael.
Azrael ends up being pretty far from an ideal Batman, employing violent techniques that Bruce Wayne would've never been okay with. In fact, Azrael goes kind of crazy -- and increasingly delusional. This culminates in his murder of the serial killer Abattoir, when Az-Bat allows the villain to fall to his death in a vat of molten metal, a la Terminator 2, an action which also indirectly results in the death of one of Abattoir's prisoners, who is trapped inside a secret torture chamber.
Shortly afterward, Bruce Wayne comes back to reclaim the Batman mantle.
6 JLA: Tower of Babel
Of course Az-Bat is nuts, but even regular old Bruce Wayne has a dark side. Really, his coldhearted calculations about everyone around him sometimes seem a bit more supervillainous than superheroic. This trait comes to the forefront in the Justice League story Tower of Babel, wherein Ra's al Ghul steals Batman's personal files, and finds to his pleasure that the Dark Knight keeps meticulous records of how to take down each of his Justice League allies. Ra's uses these exact methods to bring down every member of the Justice League. Thanks, Batman.
Of course, Batman would never have employed these methods except in an emergency, but it's pretty creepy that he has them, especially considering their violent severity. The assassination tactics that Batman devises include the use of the Scarecrow's fear gas to make Aquaman aquaphobic, trapping Wonder Woman in an infinite combat scenario in a virtual reality, a specially-designed bullet that will cause the Flash to have super-fast seizures, as well as freezing Plastic Man with liquid nitrogen and breaking him to pieces. Dirty tactics, for sure.
5 The Dark Knight - That NSA-Style Supercomputer
Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy is a post-9/11 movie in every way, unafraid to address political issues relevant to today's world. The Dark Knight, in particular, showcases the battle between Batman and the Joker as a battle of ideologies as much as it is a battle of fists: the conflict between order and chaos, controlled violence vs. free violence. While Batman is obviously the more heroic of the two figures (though you'll see some articles which claim the Joker is the real hero, if you look for them), he still comes out of the movie with some pretty serious dents in his moral armor, and some big questions to answer to.
The Harvey Dent lie, of course, becomes a big part of the third movie. But Batman's biggest, scariest moment in the film is when he reveals to Lucius Fox that he's got a secret sonar supercomputer capable of spying on the entire city through people's cell phones. Lucius immediately proclaims that once the task is done, he'll resign, since he believes no man should have access to such an enormous violation of people's privacy... but he doesn't have to quit, as it turns out, since the computer self-destructs once the Joker is defeated, presumably since Batman agrees that it's too dangerous to exist.
But nonetheless, it is a violation of privacy, and Batman is guilty of committing it. Sure, it helped him defeat the Joker — because it was in Batman's hands — but imagine if someone like Bane had found it? Scary stuff, Bruce.
4 The Entirety of Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on a Serious Earth
If you want to get a glimpse into what it's like spending a night in Batman's mind — or the mind of one of his psychopathic bad guys — then read Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on a Serious Earth, the trippy, horrifying 1989 graphic novel by Grant Morrison (no surprise there) and Dave McKean. Deeply symbolic, nightmarish, and surreal, with some of the most mesmerizing artwork ever to be featured in a comic book, Arkham Asylum tells the story of what happens when Arkham's inmates take over the loony bin, and Batman goes in to investigate, only to have trouble finding his way out again.
Arkham Asylum is notable for its unique characterizations of Batman's rogues gallery, especially the Joker and Two Face, but it's stark depiction of Batman himself earns a second glance at well. More than perhaps any other work, Arkham Asylum shows a Dark Knight who could very easily be one of the inmates himself, with a climax that implies that maybe Batman fits better in Arkham's walls than he does in the outside world. Stark, emotionally repressed, and always lurking in the background as a shadow instead of a musclebound hero, Arkham Asylum provides a deeply uncomfortable look at an iconic character.
3 Batman: Year One - The Dinner Party
When it comes to classic Batman moments, this one earns a top spot on every list for being simultaneously scary, heroic, and totally badass. In Batman: Year One, Batman makes his grand entrance into the Gotham scene an unforgettable way, by dropping in uninvited to a dinner party held for all of the dirty aristocrats, politicians, and mob bosses that collectively own Gotham City and have turned it into a cesspool of corruption. As these powerful figures smugly discuss how this rumored "Batman" figure could probably be politically advantageous for them, Batman cuts out the electricity, and drops into the party. Standing like an ominous demon opening the gates of Hell, Batman gives the men a brief, iconic speech that none of them will ever forget:
"Ladies. Gentleman. You have eaten well. You've eaten Gotham's wealth. Its spirit. Your feast is nearly over. From this moment on — none of you are safe."
And then, he snuffs out the light -- in more ways than one.
2 Mask of the Phantasm: The First Time He Puts On the Cowl
There are few things that the fan base collectively revere as much as Batman: The Animated Series. With its stark colors, dark deco backgrounds and tremendous writing, this cartoon is one of the most influential of all time, arguably having created more fans of the Dark Knight than almost any other media depiction. But the high point of the cartoon came not on TV, but in the feature film inspired by it: Mask of the Phantasm.
Alternating between a present day storyline, wherein a figure called the Phantasm is murdering aging mob figures, and a storyline in the past that shows how Bruce Wayne's love for a woman named Andrea Beaumont almost led him away from becoming Batman, Mask of the Phantasm is a unique depiction of Batman's origins. Unlike most versions of the story, wherein Bruce's evolution into the cape and cowl is presented in a more positive light, Mask of the Phantasm dares to show us a Bruce Wayne who came within inches of having a normal life, falling in love with Andrea, and actually being happy... only to have it snatched away by fate.
So when the movie finally depicts the outrageously epic moment wherein Bruce Wayne dons the mask of Batman for the first time, with the music swelling, it's not a triumphant one. As he puts the cowl over his head, Bruce, the man, is forever surrendering himself to Batman, the icon. In doing this, he forgoes any chance at the happy life that he may have had otherwise. In this moment, Bruce Wayne is abandoned, and only Batman remains. It's no surprise that, upon first seeing the Dark Knight, even Alfred is startled.
1 Batman is Transformed into Bat-Baby
But honestly, as terrifying as many of these moments may be, there's really nothing scarier — or more bizarre —than the Caped Crusader being transformed into a toddler, and still being dedicated enough to continue his war on crime. This is the result of a villainous scientist of the Pre-Crisis DC sort hitting Batman with some funky sci-fi gun that de-ages him into a younger form. Luckily, Bat-Baby retains his adult intellect, strength, and agility, so he's able to continue being the vigilante he was before... once he makes a costume that fits his new size.
Sure, sure, it's funny. Hilarious, even. But imagine, for a second, what this would look like in real life. Imagine seeing Bat-Baby crash through the skylight in those dumb black overalls and having him kick you in the face with those little shoes. Imagine him making threats or interrogating you in an obnoxiously squeaky little voice, as Robin stands in the background snickering. Seriously, Bat-Baby. If that's not nightmare fuel, then we don't know what is.
Luckily, the whole Bat-Baby incident was short lived. Ah, gotta love those good old Pre-Crisis days.

My father and I just picked up new FNP45s and while cleaning them today we noticed a small ridge in one of the grooves of the barrel. Not quite sure if it will effect accuracy or not as I'm new to the autoloaders, so what do you guys think?
I tried taking a picture of it the best as I could, and believe they are decent enough to see what I'm talking about.
Both mine and my fathers have this ridge in the same groove and the dates of which they were test fired are about 8 months apart. Didn't seem to hurt anything as they were an absolute blast to shoot yesterday. We love these things!
Has anyone else seen this?
I inverted and changed some things to try to make it more visible in this picture...

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has said, The number of weekly COVID-19 cases and deaths continued to decline globally, noting that both the case and death incidence have reduced for the past two months in the South-East Asian region.
The COVID-19 Weekly Epidemiological Update, released this week, said over 3.3 million new cases and over 55,000 new deaths were reported around the world during the week of September 20–26, 2021, a decrease of 10 percent as compared to the previous week for both cases and deaths. Globally, the numbers of weekly COVID-19 cases and deaths continued to decline, it said. The largest decrease in new weekly cases was reported from the Eastern Mediterranean Region is 17 percent, followed by the Western Pacific Region (15 percent), the Region of the Americas (14 percent), the African Region (12 percent) and the South-East Asia Region (10 percent); while weekly cases in the European Region were similar to the previous week.
Also, the number of new weekly deaths reported showed an over 15 percent decline for all regions except for the European Region and the African Region. The largest decline in weekly deaths was reported from the Western Pacific Region, with a 24 per cent decline as compared to the previous week.
Globally, the cumulative number of confirmed COVID-19 cases now stand at over 231 million and the cumulative number of deaths is more than 4.7 million. Around the world, cases of the Alpha variant have been reported in 193 countries, territories or areas, while 142 countries have reported cases of the Beta variant and 96 countries have reported cases of the Gamma variant. The Delta variant has been reported in 187 countries, across all six WHO regions as of September 28.


BMW Motorsport, the company's fabled "M" division is, next year, set to mark 50 years since its 1972 founding with new models, new colours and the revival of an historic badge.
From next March, buyers of BMW M and M Sport cars will be able to have the standard BMW badge replaced with a new roundel inspired by that of the first racing car to bear the Motorsport division's colours, the 1973 3.0-litre CSL "Batmobile". The Batmobile was so nicknamed because of the aggressive aerodynamic aids it needed to successfully compete in European touring car racing, and its badge featured blue, violet and red graphics surrounding the traditional BMW logo in a circle.
The circular roundel gave way to the more familiar red, violet and blue slanted stripes on the BMW M1 supercar in 1978. Since then, the violet has been replaced by a dark blue, though the new, optional retro-inspired badges see violet returning to its rightful place.
In another nod to its 50th birthday, the M division is reviving some of its "historically significant" colours. These include Dakar Yellow, Fire Orange and Macao Blue, the latter of which was first seen on BMW's 1980s E30 3-Series.
New M models
Perhaps slightly more significant than paint and badges are the number of new models emerging from BMW Motorsport's skunk works.
For starters, the division's first pure-electric model, the i4 M50 is set to go on sale next spring.
Excitingly for fans of fast estates, another M first will be the launch of a new M3 Touring which should deliver a useful blend of performance and practicality. The engine is expected to be the current turbocharged six-cylinder unit seen in other models and which can produce as much as 510hp. While BMW Motorsport has long built fast versions of the 5-Series estate, until now the M3 Touring has never passed beyond the prototype stage.
There'll be another "spectacular special model" of the BMW M4 coupé - possibly a hardcore track-focused CS or CSL version - as well as a new generation of M2 coupé.
Soon to be unveiled too is a new SUV model known as the XM which will be the first M model not to have a direct BMW equivalent since the M1 in the late 1970s. Although full details are currently scant, the XM will be unveiled at the end of November, so watch this space.

Occidentalism is re-defined in this context, as different from its current usages in existing literature, to mean both Westernism and anti-Westernism at the same time. Occidentalism is their groundbreaking investigation of the demonizing fantasies and stereotypes about the Western world that fuel such hatred in the hearts of others. We generally understand "radical Islam" as a purely Islamic phenomenon, but Buruma and Margalit show that while the Islamic part of radical Islam certainly is, the radical part owes a primary debt of inheritance to the West.

Speidell v. United States.
No. 19-1214 to -1218. D.Colo. Judge Briscoe. IRS Enforcement Authority—Retail Marijuana—26 USC § 280E Tax Deduction Disallowance—Discrepancy Between Federal and State Law.
October 19, 2020
The parties to this appeal are Speidell and various business entities affiliated with marijuana dispensaries in Colorado. Speidell is believed to be or to have been an owner of some of the business entities. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is auditing the parties’ prior year federal tax returns under 26 USC § 280E. It requested information and sent summonses to the parties but only received partial responses that were insufficient to substantiate the figures shown on their tax returns. For example, the parties did not produce information reported to Colorado’s Marijuana Enforcement Division (MED). The IRS responded by serving summonses on MED and the parties’ financial institutions. The parties petitioned to quash the summonses, and the IRS moved to dismiss the petitions and enforce the summonses. The district court denied the motions to quash and granted the motions to enforce. The district court denied Speidell’s individual petition to quash for lack of subject matter jurisdiction because it was not timely filed.
On appeal, the parties challenged the IRS’s ability to investigate and impose tax consequences upon them. In general, the IRS has broad latitude to issue summonses in connection with determining tax liability and collecting any such liability. But the IRS must show that it has not made a referral to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution and must demonstrate good faith in issuing the summonses by establishing the factors set forth in United States v. Powell, 379 US 48 (1964). Powell requires the IRS to make a showing that (1) the investigation will be conducted pursuant to a legitimate purpose, (2) the inquiry may be relevant to the purpose, (3) the information sought is not already within the IRS’s possession, and (4) administrative steps required by the Internal Revenue Code have been followed. Here, there is no genuine dispute of material fact that the IRS met the Powell factors nor as to any alleged lack of good faith or abuse of process.
Speidell asserted that the IRS waived sovereign immunity by filing a motion to enforce the summons, and the district court’s decision to grant the motion confirms the existence of subject matter jurisdiction. Here, the IRS phrased its arguments in the alternative, asking the district court to enforce the summonses only if it denied the IRS’s motions to dismiss pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1). The IRS clearly did not waive sovereign immunity or invite the district court to bypass the issue of subject matter jurisdiction. The district court’s dismissal of Speidell’s petition on timeliness grounds was proper.
The decisions denying or dismissing the motions to quash and granting the motions to enforce were affirmed.

Group B streptococcus is a type of bacteria that is most often passed to newborns from their mothers over the course of labor and birth. During International Group B Strep Awareness Month, we at Mt. Auburn OBGYN want to inform you about this preventing potential danger to your future newborns.
How Does Group B Strep Spread?
This disease comes in two forms, early-onset and late-onset. Early-onset infection occurs before a newborn is one week old, when Group B Strep bacteria are passed from mother to child during labor. Late-onset infection, on the other hand,
happens in infants that are between one week and three months old. Less is known about the origin of these infections, because an infant in this age range may have come into contact with Group B Strep somewhere apart from the mother’s womb.
According to the CDC, women will have an increased risk of having a child with Group B Strep if they fit any of these specific factors:
- Testing positive for Group B Strep bacteria 35-37 weeks pregnant
- Detecting Group B Strep bacteria in urine during the current pregnancy
- Delivering early (before 37 weeks of pregnancy)
- Developing a fever during labor
- Having a long time between water breaking and delivering (18 hours or more)
- Having a previous baby who developed early-onset disease
What are the Symptoms?
Group B Strep infection can be deceptive, as its symptoms are similar to other common health issues in infants. Early-onset infection will usually be apparent on the day of birth, while late-onset infection is more complicated, with an infant appearing healthy at birth. Infants with the infection, whether early or late-onset, may show a fever, difficulty feeding, irritability or lethargy, difficulty breathing and a blue-ish tint to the skin.
Long-term problems associated with Group B Strep infection can be quite serious. These issues include deafness and developmental disabilities, and in the worst cases, death is a potential outcome. Fortunately, fatal consequences are rare, and based on information from the CDC’s Active Bacterial Core surveillance, only about 1,000 babies in the United States are infected each year.
How is Group B Strep Prevented and Treated?
In order to prevent early-onset Group B Strep infection, antibiotics should be given to the mother during labor. Doctors will need to check on the baby after birth, of course, but this treatment will usually prevent infection. Infections that do occur whether early-onset or late-onset will require direct administration of antibiotics to the infant through an IV.
Since there is no available vaccine, the CDC states that intravenous antibiotics are the only proven strategy to protect a baby from Group B Strep. If you would like to learn more about Group B Strep and to determine if you’re at risk, consult with your doctor.

Black Hawk Estates Preliminary Plat Hearing
Decision Makers: Victor City Council
Topic: Black Hawk Estates Preliminary Plat Hearing
City of Victor
PO Box 122
Victor, ID 83455
January 29, 2008
Dear Members of the Victor City Council,
I am writing on behalf of Valley Advocates for Responsible Development (VARD) regarding Black Hawk Estates. VARD opposes the development because we are concerned that the density is too high for this location and that the design of this development is not harmonious with the surrounding neighborhood.
VARD believes that the developer should be required to do a Fiscal Impact Analysis to determine what density is appropriate for the location. The Comprehensive Plan encourages compact development close to the city core because it is cheaper to service and reinforces the vital downtown that the citizens have said that they want. There are so many ways in which a development like this would impact the city. Please see the attachment, which estimates some of those likely impacts. Given that it is nearly two miles from the city core, it seems appropriate for the City Council to wait to approve this development until a Fiscal Impact Analysis has been done.
VARD believes that the council should accept the offer made by the developer to the Planning and Zoning Commission to provide dust abatement, as this is an area of recurring concern with developments across the valley. VARD supports the recommendations of the administrator for minimal park improvements and a maintenance plan should show how the minimal improvements would be maintained and how the developer would contribute to that maintenance. VARD also supports the administrator's recommendation of additional apparatus of either “restrooms, an athletic field, trails, hard surface multiple use court (tennis or basketball courts), or gardens that demonstrate conservation principles.” VARD also agrees with the administrator's recommendation for bike paths. All of these recommendations implement the Comprehensive Plan, Policy 1 under Community Design, which calls for community design features that “promote the health, safety, and good quality of life of the citizens of the City.”
Finally, in the Preliminary Plat Hearing the P&Z discussed the need for an enforcement officer to ensure that the dark sky and lighting ordinances would be followed. While the enforcement officer is outside of the scope of this development, VARD thinks there is good reason for the City Council to consider hiring an enforcement officer.
Thank you for your consideration,
In the interest of taking a comprehensive view of the impacts of development, we have listed some of the impacts that this development may have on the city. These numbers are based on county and national averages. If you would like more detailed information about these statistics, please contact us.

Earn Your First Bitcoin Sign up and get $12 Bonus Referral bonus up to $3,000Sign up
The bitcoin price has been going through some tough times in the month of May. The currency has been trading in the high $30,000 range after several market factors – including rumors that the Fed was going to hike rates and growing conflict in eastern Europe between Ukraine and Russia – took the world’s number one digital currency by market cap down nearly 50 percent from its November 2021 high. At that time, BTC was trading at nearly $70,000.
The Fed Won’t Hike Rates Too High
However, it looks like bitcoin has risen by about six percent at the time of writing. The currency has once again hit the $40K mark after the Fed stated that while it plans to hike rates, this hike will not be out of the ordinary.
There has long been talk that the Fed was going to enforce a 75-basis-point hike. This would have made things like homes, cars, and other items that typically require loans practically unobtainable. The measures being taken are purely designed to fight ongoing inflation, which is presently at a 40-year high, though the Fed has stated that it has no intention of making things jump that much.
Instead, the Fed has said Americans can anticipate a 50-basis-point hike, which would be equivalent to about half a percent. While this is still the biggest hike in roughly 20 years, buyers can expect interest rates to stay below the six percent line.
Jerome Powell, the man at the top of the Fed ladder, explained in an interview:
A 75-basis-point increase is not something that the committee is actively considering. I think expectations are that we’ll start to see inflation, you know, flattening out.
Nick Mancini – director of research at crypto sentiment analytics platform Trade the Chain – also threw his two cents into the mix, commenting:
Any FOMC guidance that does not include a 0.75 percent interest rate increase would be bullish for both crypto and equities. We believe that the market has priced in continued hikes of 0.25 percent to 0.50 percent moving forward for 2022. This gives the market certainty, which in turn, breeds bullish price action.
Inflation Has to Slow Down!
Joe Orsini – director of research at Eagle Brook Advisors – says he thinks the market is likely going to be made tighter than ever so long as inflation continues. He stated:
These expectations set up for a ‘not all that bad’ rally should the Fed turn less hawkish than feared. The first sign of this was today when Powell ruled out a 75-basis-point hike. This kicked off the rally we’re seeing this afternoon… If there are signs that inflation is peaking, the Fed has some room to show patience. A less aggressive tightening policy would be bullish for bitcoin, ether, and digital assets, which continue to bounce harder than traditional equities.


That's the entire point though:
Capcom's software pipeline is supported primarily by the PS4 and with RE, DMC, MH all breaking records Capcom are going to double down on the PS5. Same with SE, FF7R2, FF16, Project Athia, KH4, Nier are all going to be on PS5 and not SW, resulting in SE being heavily dependent on PS5.
The initial post was making a statement on JP third party software support by using JP sales. This has proven to be a poor inidication, as I have mentioned prior, most JP pubs get most of their sales overseas and so JP third software pipeline is decided on overseas sales rather than domestic.
PS4's software sales absolutely dominate SW worldwide. Granblue Fantasy is not Japanese centric, most of its sales will be overseas.
I dont really agree or disagree with a lot of what you say, but Granblue fantasy is absolutely Japanese centric. Youre referring to a game that is based off of one of the top 10 mobile games app in Japan which makes it a huge money maker. It doesnt even have an international release. Even if the console game does manage to sell more overseas than in Japan, it certainly will have an abnormal sales ratio between Japan and the rest of the world

Arrival From Abroad: Plague, Quarantine, And Concepts Of Contagion In Eighteenth-Century England, Talei Ml Hickey
History Undergraduate Theses
The isolation and separation of infected individuals in response to epidemics has persevered throughout history as an effective public health measure. Since the devastation of the Black Death during the fourteenth century, major European cities continued to institute various forms of quarantine in order to address the threat of plague. Following the Great Plague of London in 1665-66 – the last major outbreak of bubonic plague to occur in England – the country had no way of knowing it would never again be visited by the disease in its epidemic form. In the eighteenth century, Parliament took measures aimed at preventing outbreaks ...

Ice Sheet Forcing Fields from a Deglacial Climate Simulation with MPI-ESM1.2 with GLAC1D boundary forcing
Kapsch, Marie-Luise et al.
The data set is obtained from a simulation of the last deglaciation (21 ka before present to present) with the Max Planck Institute Earth System Model version 1.2 in its coarse resolution setup (MPI-ESM-CR). For the transient simulations only the orbital configuration, greenhouse gases and the ice sheet configuration was prescribed. For this simulation ice sheet reconstructions from Tarasov et al. (2012) were used as boundary conditions (exp:pmu0207).


Juventus striker Cristiano Ronaldo has been rebuilding communication lines with Real Madrid.
Ronaldo has been linked with a Juventus exit over the next year despite joining the Italian club for around £100million in the summer of 2018.
Marca says the 35-year-old is contemplating a return to Madrid and has reached out to the Spanish giants to try and orchestrate a move.
The report claims that the striker, who scored 450 goals in 438 matches for Los Blancos between 2009 and 2018, cut off contact with Real Madrid completely after swapping the Spanish capital for Turin two years ago.
Ronaldo only stayed in contact with Real Madrid full-back and close friend Marcelo but that situation changed when the Portugal winger asked president Florentino Perez for a seat at the Bernabeu to watch last March’s El Clasico contest.
The Real Madrid president granted the request and Ronaldo shared his delight at watching his former side beat arch-rivals Barcelona 2-0 on their way to last season’s LaLiga title.
