Darmstadt, Germany, August 11, 2015 – Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, a leading company for innovative and top-quality high-tech products in healthcare, life science and performance materials, today announced that approvals have been secured from all relevant jurisdictions for its planned acquisition of U.S.-based life science company Sigma-Aldrich.
Unconditional approval from Brazil’s Council for Economic Defense (CADE), which was the final outstanding country, was received. This clearance becomes effective after a common waiting period of 15 days. It follows recently received antitrust approvals from the competition authorities of Israel (IAA) and South Korea (KFTC).
The company expects a completion of the transaction in the third quarter 2015. The closing of the transaction is still subject to the Commitments made to the European Commission, following its conditional approval of the transaction, announced on June 15, 2015. As a result, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, and Sigma-Aldrich have agreed to sell parts of Sigma-Aldrich’s solvents and inorganics business in Europe.
“Securing antitrust approvals in all relevant jurisdictions brings us very close to our big goal: transforming the life science industry with an enhanced product portfolio, greater capabilities and a broader geographic reach,” said Bernd Reckmann, Member of the Executive Board of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany. “We are now working with all related parties on the divestments as agreed with the European Commission in order to swiftly complete the transaction.”
On September 22, 2014, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany and Sigma-Aldrich had announced they entered into a definitive agreement under which Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, will acquire Sigma-Aldrich for $17.0 billion (€13.1 billion), establishing one of the leading players in the $130 billion global life science industry. The acquisition is a key element in the company’s “Fit for 2018” transformation and growth program aimed at strengthening the company’s three growth platforms: healthcare, life science and performance materials.
The combined company will be able to serve life science customers around the world with a highly attractive set of established brands and an efficient supply chain that can support the delivery of more than 300,000 products. In the Laboratory & Academia business, together Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany’s life science business, which operates as EMD Millipore in the U.S. and Canada, and Sigma-Aldrich will offer their customers a complementary range of products across laboratory chemicals, biologics and reagents. In pharma and biopharma production, Sigma-Aldrich will complement Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany’s existing products and capabilities with additions along the entire value chain of drug production and validation.

Danish cornetist (who doubles on flugelhorn) Mads la Cour maintains a fluid conception of his band Almugi. Almugi has been large, as in his eight piece Almugi Large Ensemble (WhyPlayJazz, 2015) and small as in Duo (WhyPlayJazz, 2015) with drummer Anders Mogensen. With Hule, he settles on a quartet line-up featuring saxophonist/clarinetist Lars Greve (August Rosenbaum, Sven Ake Johansson), bassist Mariusz Praśniewski, and drummer Kasper Tom Christiansen (Quartz, Fusk).
His compositions and performance may remind you of American trumpeter Dave Douglas. That is, if Douglas had a certain Scandinavian stoicism. The music here is built on a patient forbearance, a hallmark of European jazz, but also there is a purposeful reconnoitering of the edges of the avant-garde. La Cour has constructed an elegant tone with his horn and he is not opposed to pushing boundaries and technique. On "Støjland Møgland," his luxurious opening notes meander down a path before joining Greve's saxophone to mix-and-match and fall in-and-out of synchronization. The rhythm section is in on the game also, changing the pulse and pace. La Cour's approach is part light-hearted and blithe, but also one with tightly crafted changes. "Bølgebop, Bølgebop" is a start/stop post-bop teaser which first wrings Greve's tormented bass clarinet , before an all-stop cornet thrust. The music is playful, buoyant, and knotty. Maybe we should say naughty.
Make a note to keep an eye (ear) on Mads la Cour's blossoming career.

Roentgen Bureau Restoration
Catherine II’s Parisian correspondent, Baron Melchior Grimm, who kept the Empress abreast of political and cultural events in the French capital, regularly informed her of how work was progressing on the unusual bureau being made in Roentgen’s workshop in Neuwied on the Rhine. Catherine looked forward with eager anticipation to adding it to her collection. In 1784 David Roentgen brought the Apollo Bureau to St Petersburg and it became an adornment of the interior of the Large Hermitage, the building that had just been constructed to house the Empress’s collections of art. This was the first work by Roentgen to feature architectural forms. The design was probably chosen with an eye to the tastes of the intended purchaser: from Grimm he knew about the scale of construction work in St Petersburg and of Catherine’s obsession with it. The mahogany bureau with gilded bronze decoration fitted with complex mechanical devices and a musical mechanism delighted the Russian Empress. The mechanisms that Roentgen produced in collaboration with the mechanic Peter Kinzing made it possible to open book-rests, change the cabinets, open side-panels and play music recorded on cylinders. The piece of furniture is crowned by a sculptural depiction of Apollo on Mount Parnassus. A similar figure of the Greek god had first been used in Paris in 1776 in a work for Prince Charles of Lorraine, the governor of the Austrian Netherlands. Francois Remond created it from a model by the sculptor Louis-Simon Boizot. The craftsmen then repeated the design several times. Exactly the same figure of Apollo sits atop a long-case clock in the Hermitage collection.
Catherine II liked to show Roentgen’s unique pieces to her guests in the Hermitage. About 1790 the Empress gave orders for the Apollo Bureau to be placed on public display in the Academy of Sciences. Then, in the 19th century, the Large Bureau returned to the Winter Palace.
With time the piece gradually lost its magnificence and the mechanisms began to work poorly. In the 1980s a thorough restoration was carried out in the Hermitage workshops. All the complex interior mechanics were put back in order. They splendidly selected grain of the mahogany veneer could again be seen at its best. The bronze decoration was cleaned and the musical mechanism set right. Today the Apollo Bureau can be seen in the White Hall of the Winter Palace in which the majority of Roentgen’s works are displayed.

The Integrated Local Development Project (ILDP), as an integral pillar of the UNDP Rural and Regional Development Sector, provides support to help strengthen local development planning and the realisation of local strategies in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The project approach provides a “bridge” between the strategic and budgetary frameworks of local and higher levels of government and also provides assistance to local governments to design their integrated local strategies and to successfully implement them in partnership with their communities.
Located in eastern BiH, the Birač region covers geographically coherent territories of Bratunac, Milići, Srebrenica, Šekovići, Vlasenica and Zvornik municipalities. Although it is endowed with abundant natural resources, the region is faced with great development challenges, which stem from the devastating consequences of the 1992-1995 war and thereafter difficult overall socio-economic transition.
The project aims to contribute to the reduction of economic, social, and regional disparities in BiH through the affirmation of the Via Dinarica as a regional tourism destination and increase BiH’s competitiveness in nature-based tourism.
The Municipal Environmental and Economic Governance (MEG) project aims to improve municipal development management systems and services in the environmental and economic sectors. These improvements will result in better local services for the citizens, enhanced accountability and trust between local authorities, citizens and businesses.
Project “Local Integrated Development” (LID) will directly contribute to improvements in the standard of living for more than 100,000 people in BiH, working with domestic authorities to put into place mechanisms and resources needed to drive social and economic development.The Project is implemented in 21 partner cities and municipalities, prioritizing localities that are home to large returnee population and were affected by the May 2014 floods.
The Regional Programme on Local Democracy in the Western Balkans (ReLOaD) is financed by the European Union (EU) and implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). ReLOaD builds on the good practices of the Reinforcement of Local Democracy (LOD) project, another initiative financed by EU, which also represents the replication model in other Western Balkan countries. As a regional initiative, ReLOaD will be implemented in six Western Balkans countries.
Mainstreaming the Concept on Migration and Development into Relevant Policies, Plans and Actions in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH): Diaspora for Development (D4D) project aims to strengthen the role of BiH Diaspora in development processes in BiH.

FAIRBANKS - The doctor who piloted a floatplane that crashed about 50 miles south of Bettles on Sunday was known as a safe pilot who would take friends on short sightseeing trips to nearby lakes.
A friend of Nancy Lewis, 48, a retired Fairbanks family practitioner, called her very careful when it came to inspections and flying her 1977 Maule M-5.
"She was very focused," said Simon Rakower, a friend of about 15 years who remembered Lewis coming into his shop and offering lunchtime plane rides to lakes.
"She'd fly and land somewhere and look at the ducks and then go back," Rakower said.
Lewis and three passengers from New Mexico died in the crash Sunday near Lake Sithylemenkat, near Bettles, about 180 miles northeast of Fairbanks. Alaska State Troopers identified the passengers Wednesday as Dr. Janette Carter, 49, an Albuquerque physician; her husband, Steve Wilkes, 54, a management consultant; and their son, Eliot, 9.
Carter attended medical school with Lewis in Cleveland, Ohio, according to Lewis' husband, Hugh Rose.
National Transportation Safety Board air safety investigator Clint Johnson picked through the wreckage of Lewis' plane located within a 100-foot-area about three miles from the lake Monday. It took only three hours to conduct an initial investigation, but Johnson said he has not determined the cause of the crash.
"Until we actually tear the engine down and totally disassemble the engine, it's all speculation," Johnson said.
He said the plane crashed at about 3,200 feet on the side of the mountainous bowl surrounding the lake.
The wrecked plane was pointing downhill, meaning it had probably taken off and was circling when it struck the mountain, Johnson said.
Rose said the recently retired doctor had about 1,000 flying hours and a long list of certifications, including for commercial airplanes.
Lewis, a Long Island, N.Y., native, retired in December after 20 years as a doctor in Fairbanks.

Background: Osteomyelitis was described many years ago but is still incompletely understood. Its exogenously acquired form is likely to become more common as the population ages. We discuss biofilm formation as a clinically relevant pathophysiological model and present current recommendations for the treatment of osteomyelitis.
Methods: We selectively searched the PubMed and Cochrane databases for articles on the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis with local and systemic antibiotics and with surgery. The biofilm hypothesis is discussed in the light of the current literature.
Results: There is still no consensus on either the definition of osteomyelitis or the criteria for its diagnosis. Most of the published studies cannot be compared with one another, and there is a lack of scientific evidence to guide treatment. The therapeutic recommendations are, therefore, based on the findings of individual studies and on current textbooks. There are two approaches to treatment, with either curative or palliative intent; surgery is now the most important treatment modality in both. In addition to surgery, antibiotics must also be given, with the choice of agent determined by the sensitivity spectrum of the pathogen.
Conclusion: Surgery combined with anti-infective chemotherapy leads to long-lasting containment of infection in 70% to 90% of cases. Suitable drugs are not yet available for the eradication of biofilm-producing bacteria.

The Boko Haram insurgency began in Nigeria in 2009, spreading across the Lake Chad Basin.
Insurgents riding motorcycles raided three villages in Niger’s Tahoua region bordering Mali on Sunday, killing 137 civilians.
This year four countries left, and four new countries entered this list of the top fifty countries.
The "twin attacks" on two villages in Niger on the 2nd of January have caused the flight of over ten thousand inhabitants.
Bangassou, a town in the Central African Republic was captured by rebels on Sunday the 3rd of January.
One hundred people died, another twenty-five were injured, many of whom had to be hospitalised.
AQIM: “Killing the one who insults the prophet is the right of every Muslim capable of doing it.”
The ransom for the abducted missionary was one million dollars.

As a part of what seems our never-ending Civil War unit (I don't know why we can't seem to move beyond it), the children and I recently watched the movie Shenandoah (1965). It is the story of a Virginia widower and father who tries his best to stay out of the conflict but who is drawn in when his youngest son is taken prisoner by Union forces who mistake him as a Confederate soldier. The film was recommended to us by a family member who knew we were studying the Civil War, but after watching I don't think I would make the same recommendation. Not that it isn't a good movie--it features Jimmy Stewart as the patriarch of the family plus a young Katharine Ross as his daughter-in-law--but the Civil War setting is really not crucial to the story. Instead, the film is more of a family drama that just happens to take place against the backdrop of the Civil War. One of my favorite scenes depicts a suitor approaching Jimmy Stewart's character to ask for his daughter's hand in marriage. Stewart's character responds by asking why this young man wants to marry his daughter. The young man answers, "Because I love her" to which Stewart's character asks, "But do you like her?" What an excellent reminder that the basis for a successful marriage is not that feeling we so loosely call love but rather common ground, friendship, admiration, and respect.


Paul DeJong has gotten off to a slow start for the St. Louis Cardinals. While fans may be ready to bench him forever, it may just be time for a little change for the shortstop.
When a manager puts their one-time All-Star shortstop in the clean-up position of the batting order, you tend to have high expectations. Placing a quality, high production bat behind Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado is important for the St. Louis Cardinals.
Basically. You don’t play around.
For his career, Paul DeJong has hit .249/.318/.454 with a 105 wRC+. He has 79 homers and 240 RBI. Granted, DeJong was not consistently in the cleanup position as he’s started this season. In past seasons his hit anywhere from second to further down in the lineup.
While he’s been in the cleanup position for the eight games played thus far, his numbers are not matching up to what one would expect from DeJong.
According to Baseball Savant, in 34 plate appearances, he is hitting .107/.265/.321 with just a .586 OPS. DeJong has had three hits, two of which were home runs hit in the second game of the season in Cincinnati.
What is more concerning is that he has 12 strikeouts, including three ugly strikeouts in Saturday’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers.
We are eight games into this season, but many of the vocal fans on social media have been quick to call for the
benching of DeJong, I think that is a bit too much.
It’s possible the cleanup position may not be the right fit for DeJong.
Manager Mike Shildt should consider either moving DeJong or Carlson to second in the order ahead of Goldschmidt and Arenado. If Carlson is second in the lineup, move DeJong a couple of spots after the clean-up spot with Yadier Molina in the cleanup spot. If DeJong is moved to the second spot, place Carlson in the cleanup position.
It may also prove beneficial to move DeJong further down the lineup, after Molina or possibly trading positions with Carlson who has had a hot bat in this young season hitting in either the sixth or seventh position. Carlson is hitting .192/.290/.577 with one double, three homers, nine RBI, once hit by a pitch, and three walks. Carlson has struck out nine times.
The change in lineup scenery might be beneficial to him as well.
With the fan base already feeling frustration with the lineup after eight games, we can suspect there is some frustration for Shildt and the team. It is obvious the status quo is not necessarily working. I would expect to see some lineup tinkering in the next few games. The team and the fans do not need more frustration in a young season with so much promise.

Clarksville High defeated Henry County 5-0 on Tuesday to advance to the District 10-AAA championship game.
The Wildcats had another solid outing from their starting pitcher, as Ben Bleyle pitched a complete game shutout allowing just three hits. The offense picked up the pace in the fifth inning to score four runs, which were enough to advance.
"Our pitcher Bleyle threw an outstanding game to come out and shut them out the way he did," Clarksville coach Brian Hetland said. "We had so many seniors step up in our lineup and do really good things offensively and defensively. We put a lot of pressure ...

Editor’s Note: This investigation was conducted by the Objective investigative reporting project in Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova. The program is financially supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark, and implemented by a joint venture between NIRAS and BBC Media Action. The story can be freely republished with proper credits.
CEADIR-LUNGA, Moldova – A vanity project started by Azerbaijan to honor former President Heydar Aliyev, whose son is the current president of the former Soviet republic, has turned into a huge scandal. Critics see an international corruption scheme behind the planned construction of Heydar Aliyev Sports Complex in Moldova’s Gagauziya region.
Three years ago, the Azerbaijani government vowed to construct a sports complex in the small city of Ceadir-Lunga, with 22,000 residents. At first, Moldovans liked the idea. But since then the project has been stained with charges of unfair land allocation. A local governor turned out to have a special interest in the project, which may not be as charitable as it looks at first glance.
Azeri gift to Moldovan city
The promised complex was said to have a soccer stadium of 5,000 seats, tennis courts, training football fields, weightlifting hall with 400 seats, a hotel with 200 rooms and more. For Ceadir-Lunga, the promise seemed very generous.
Stepan Marin, 48, lives in an apartment building where the Heydar Aliyev Sports Complex is meant to be built. He remembers how happy he was when Gagauziya Governor Mikhail Formuzal announced the deal with Azerbaijan in 2011. It would be needed. The city has no sports complex. “I was very happy. Everybody was happy in Gagauziya. We are brothers with Azerbaijani people, we are Turkic and should help each other,” Marin said.
In recent years, the Azeri government has installed statues of Heydar Aliyev – a former Soviet KGB top official known as a terrible abuser of human rights — in many countries, including Moldova.
In March 2011, a sports complex opened in Georgia at the behest of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation. Next on the list was a $5 million sports complex in Moldova’s Ceadir-Lunga to be named after the late president.
The stadium was to become the property of an Azeri construction company, linked to Formuzal, the regional governor, after construction is completed. The company also got exclusive rights to buy and a large plot of land. The city, it turned out, would have no share in the complex.
All roads lead to Aliyev
The Azerbaijani government assigned construction of the complex to JSC Ataholding, with $106 million in capital and specializing in financial, information technology, industry and tourism projects. It is owned, through a chain of companies, by the two daughters of the Azeri President Ilham Aliyev, Leyla and Arzu.
“The Azeri investor will bear all expenses. The company is likely to invest its own financial resources, but might be also allocated from the state budget of Azerbaijan. I do not know, I can’t tell you,” Formuzal said in May. Neither the Moldovan nor Azerbaijan authorities would provide a copy of the agreement.
Ceadir-Lunga deputy mayor Liubovi Zaharia said, however, that problems soon emerged in finding a place to build the complex. “Nobody, however, could imagine back in July 2011 that it will be so difficult to lease the land for the construction of the sports complex,” Zaharia said.
Some 10 hectares of land identified for the construction of the complex was considered agricultural land and had to be legally reclassified. According to Moldovan law, the city is supposed to compensate the federal government $87,000 per hectare to compensate for the loss of farmland, according to Moldovan law.
The City Council, rather than asking the Azeris for the money, sought an exemption from parliament. The exemption was adopted on March 22, 2013 by a unanimous vote of the lawmakers. The land was reclassified “for industry, transport, telecommunications and other special purposes.”
A year before the change in land status, Ceadir-Lunga municipal authorities held an auction to award leasing rights for the 10 hectares of land.
Only one company participated – Ataholding MD, a Moldovan company owned by Azeri JSC Ataholding – and became the winner. But the city council canceled the lease because the old land status was still in effect at the time that prohibited construction. Once the agricultural designation was droped, a second auction was held in November 2013. Once again, Ataholding MD was the winner and the only participant.
Ceadir-Long City Hall and Ataholding MD signed a lease agreement for 49 years. According to the contract, the company pays annual rent of $20,470 (284,900 Moldovan lei) for use of the land only for construction of the sports complex.
But the contract turned out to have a clause that allowed Ataholding MD the right to take ownership of the complex from the state after construction is 80 percent complete. In addition, the company obtained the exclusive right to purchase the 10-hectare plot.
Deputy Mayor Liubovi Zaharia said the decision to allow the company to buy the complex and the land was made at public hearings, where some 100 people participated, including representatives of local authorities, citizens and employees of local sports and education institutions. “The population voted in support,” Zaharia said.
This could not be confirmed independently, since the only available information about the public hearings is an official notice about its results on the city council’s website.
On March 4, the Territorial Office of the State Chancellery in Comrat, the capital of Gagauziya, asked Ceadir-Lunga Town Council to cancel the lease decision as illegal.
The argument is that the exemption on payments to the Moldovan government granted by parliament for the land-use change can only be made to serve public interests, not private commercial ones – as ownership by Ataholding MD would do.
Olga Cirma, Head of Comrat Territorial Office of the State Chancellery, believes that central government was misled. “The Ceadir-Lunga City Council did not inform the parliament and the government that it plans to privatize the land and that the interested party and the future owner is Ataholding MD. These details would have played an important role in the adoption of the law on compensation for losses,” Cirma said.
In April, the note of protest was rejected by Ceadir-Lunga City Council. Immediately, the Comrat Territorial Office of the State Chancellery went to court. Hearings began on May 25.
According to the Registration Chamber, Ataholding MD was registered on May 7, 2012. The company’s sole founder – JSC Ataholding – listed $553 in capital and Zeinalov Teimur Agababa, a citizen of Azerbaijan, as manager.
JSC Ataholding is owned by three offshore companies. One of them, Hughson Management Inc., registered in Panama, owns 51 percent of the shares. According to the Register of Companies of Panama, the Hugson Management Inc. was founded on July 12, 2006, and is owned by Leyla and Arzu Aliyeva, the daughters of President Ilham Aliyev.
The director of the company, Teimur Zeinalov, refused to comment about investments plans in Gagauziya.
But the company’s Moldovan subsidiary, Ataholding MD, is even more controversial.
The official records show that Ataholding MD is registered in Ceadir-Lunga, on 12 Mikhail Lomonosov St., apt. 13. There is no office building at this address, but a Soviet two-story apartment building with tiny rooms. Moreover, it turned out to only have 12 apartments.
According to official records, there is an apartment no. 13, but it is a non-residential premise of 13.7 square meters. The owner is not Ataholding MD, but Liubov and Mikhail Fomuzal, the governor of Gagauziya who negotiated the deal with Azerbaijan, and his wife.
In May 2014 in a phone interview, Formuzal refused to answer why the Azeri investor lists its headquarters as his home.
In a public statement in October 2011, Formuzal said construction of the sports complex will be done by Gagauziya-based construction companies. Several owners of the local construction companies are the members of the political party, Yedinaya Gagauzia, founded and lead by the governor.
Anticorruption expert Ianina Spinei said to that the deal clearly poses a conflict of interest, at minimum, in denying the Moldovan government compensation for the land-use change.
“First, two officials – Ilham Aliyev and Mihail Formuzal – are linked with the company which will build the sports complex, apparently using public funds of Azerbaijan. They might both make profit. Second, the owner of the sports complex will be the company, not the Ceadir-Lunga City Hall. The Moldovan parliament and government decided to exempt the authorities from compensating losses of $870,000, but they didn’t do it for the sake of the Azeri-owned company,” Spinei said.
In any case, the sports complex is not built as litigation continues over the land deal.
Marin, the resident of Ceadir-Lunga, recalls two years ago that bulldozers were clearing a construction site where he thought the sports complex would be built. “I said to my wife that we were the witnesses of a historic event – the start of construction works of the greatest sports complex,” he recalls.
But the work stopped almost as fast as it started. The works stopped almost immediately, to Marin’s disappointment. He still hopes the complex will be constructed one day.
“But it is pity that it will not belong to the city, to the people. It is all about business again,” said Marin.
The Azerbaijan government, meanwhile, has not responded to a freedom of information request for information in June.

Mercado Family Crest, Coat of Arms and Name History
Don’t know which Coat of Arms is yours?
We can do a genealogical research. Find out the exact history of your family!Learn More
Surname Meaning, Origin, and Etymology
Mercado is a surname that comes from the ancient country, Spain. Its origin can be traced back to the provinces of Segovia and Valladolid and go further back in time it is possible that its origin could have been in Andalusia or Old Castile. Etymologically, it has a very simple and clear meaning. It comes from the Latin word “mercatus” that means market, which is the exact translation of Mercado into English. This last name can also be found in Portugal, where it was brought by Spanish many generations ago. Nevertheless, Spain and Portugal are not the only Europeans nations with pieces of the history of Mercado. Actually, the first record that shows a bearer of Mercado, or one of its spelling variations, is Roger Mercand, who was recorded in County Berkshire, England during 1202.
Spelling variations were a typical thing during the Medieval Age. It is important to consider that unlike the present, not everyone knew how to write, nor there were many grammatical rules that dictated the right way of writing words. The process of writing was done by scribes and the only reference or guide they had to depict words on paper was how they sounded. The consequence was that each scribe could write the certain word in a different way, so at the moment of writing a surname, two of them could come up with two different ways of doing it.
To add more confusion, this wasn’t the only factor that caused spelling variations. Another element was the mix of cultures, which happened during wars. The Medieval Age, was a period with several armed conflicts, so several civilizations passed for the same territory. A perfect example of that is Spain, which was conquest by the Gauls, who came from Germany, then it was part of the Roman Empire, later was occupied by Muslims and then regained by Europeans. Thanks to this, the culture mix and each society leave their own tracks, like surnames.
Another factor that boosts the creation of spelling variations were the actions taken by some branches of the same family. Some groups of the same family used to add or remove some letters of the original family name with the idea of expressing their loyalty to a king or lord or that they followed a specific religion. Finally, there were also the translations of surname, that not always were done right, and sometimes they needed to be done, in a language that didn’t contemplate the surname. Thanks to all of these factors, Mercado count on some spelling variations such as Mercaddo, Meradoo, Mercados, Mercadors, Mercadons, de Mercado, deMercado, Demercado, DeMercado, Merkado and many more.
Popularity & Geographic Distribution
In the ranking of popularity of the surnames, Mercado holds the 888th spot and count on approximately 592,006 bearers. The nation with the highest number of users of Mercado is the Philippines, followed by Mexico and the United States. Additionally, the country with the highest density of bearers of Mercado is Puerto Rico.

Jerónimo de Alderete y Mercado was born in Olmedo, Valladolid, Spain in 1516. He was an explorer who arrived in South America 1535 at Venezuela, from there he moved to Peru under the command of Diego Rojas in 1539. He then arrived in Chile with the expedition of Pedro de Valdivia in 1540. Jerónimo de Alderete y Mercado was an important name for the foundation of Santiago de Chile, the actual capital of the country and he even served as the Major of the city for several years.

The other children of Francisco de Mercado and Isabel de Alderete were Alonso de Mercado who got married to a woman which surname was Real, but there are no records of her name, and with her, he had one child, Beatriz de Mercado y Real, then there was Juan de Mercado and Beatriz de Mercado.

If I remember correctly, it's TM30 just like in the newer games. I haven't played Brown in a while so I'm not 100% sure. To get the TM though, you need to bring either the Red or Blue orb (don't remember on this one either but it's one of those two for sure) to the girl at the Hayward City Department Store. Shadow Ball is also a Dark type move in Brown.

Albawaba reported in October:
The President of the Republic of Italy, HE Mr. Sergio Mattarella, bestowed the honor of the “Commendatore dell’Ordine della Stella d’Italia ” (Commander in the Order of the Star of Italy) upon HE Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh, for his valuable contributions and the effort of Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Global in strengthening the Italian, Jordanian and Arab relations.
Established in 1914, the Ordine Della Stella D’italia is one of Italy’s highest honors presented to global dignitaries who contribute in strengthening and promoting relations between Italy and other countries.
The Order was presented in a special ceremony attended by HE Mr. Fabio Cassese, the Italian Ambassador to Jordan, representing the Italian President and a host of Ambassadors to Jordan.
The Italian Ambassador read the official citation stating that Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh is “a close friend to Italy,” and “a friend of all the international community.”
It turns out that the honoree is an antisemite.
From MEMRI, translating a 2012 Al Ghad interview with Abu-Ghazaleh:
Abu Ghazaleh cites numerous examples of persecution of Jews, including their expulsion from various countries between the 14th and 18th centuries, and examples of leaders and public figures who spoke out against them: “Henry Ford saw the Jews as an international problem, and wasted much money on media and other means to wage a campaign against them. He also presented his ideas in a book called The International Jew: The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, The World’s Foremost Problem [sic]. American president Franklin Roosevelt saw the Jews as an American problem, and claimed that the day would come when the Americans would regret that there were Jews in their midst…
He concludes: “The Jews became known for manufacturing lies and carrying out crimes and terror. [They] created a negative model for establishing a state when the occupation authorities began bringing the ‘Haganah’ gang into Palestine, and later enlisted all the armed Jewish movements, after calling on all the Jewish residents of all the countries in the world to immigrate to Palestine and establish a state [there]…”
We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.
