Lieutenant General John R. Thurman III (brother)
Maxwell Reid Thurman (February 18, 1931 - December 1, 1995) was a U.S. Army general, Vice Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, and former commander of United States Army Training and Doctrine Command.
He attended North Carolina State University graduating with a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering (ceramics). While in college he was a member of the Professional Engineering Fraternity Theta Tau. He was commissioned a second lieutenant of Ordnance from NCSU’s ROTC program in 1953 but branch transferred to Field Artillery. His first assignment was with the 11th Airborne Division and in 1958 deployed his Honest John Rocket platoon to Lebanon. From 1961-63, he served in Vietnam as an Intelligence Officer for I Vietnamese Corps. Following his service in Vietnam, Thurman was selected one of the first non-Academy graduates assigned as a company tactical officer at the United States Military Academy. In 1966 he attended the Command and General Staff College, then returned to Vietnam, in 1967, where he assumed command of the 2d Howitzer Battalion, 35th Artillery Regiment in 1968.
After completing the U.S. Army War College in 1970, Thurman held numerous troop and staff assignments before, eventually, assuming command of U.S. Army Recruiting Command in 1979, where he initiated the highly successful “BE ALL YOU CAN BE” recruiting campaign. From 1981-83 he was Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army, Personnel (DCSPER) and from 1983-87 he was the Vice Chief of Staff of the Army (VCSA).
In 1989 Thurman applied for retirement while serving as Command General, TRADOC. Instead, he was handpicked by President George H. Bush to be Commander-in-Chief, United States Southern Command. In this position, he planned and executed Operation Just Cause, the 1989 invasion of Panama. He was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia while still commander in chief of U.S. Southern Command shortly after Operation Just Cause. Thurman retired in 1991 after more than thirty-seven years of service, and died in 1995.
Thurman’s awards and decorations include the Defense Distinguished Service Medal, the Distinguished Service Medal, the Legion of Merit and the Bronze Star with “V” device.

He scored another goal that same season against Puebla. He made it with Pumas to the final in which they faced Pachuca and scored the winning goal that gave Pumas the win in the second half of overtime.

Begging Burros
Begging Burros is a name used to refer to the donkeys in Custer State Park in South Dakota, United States. For many years, these donkeys have earned this nickname as they approach various passing cars through the park begging for food. After earning this reputation, the burros have become famous now garnering the attention of most travelers through the park inside and outside of cars. Many people bring food to the park specifically for the purpose of feeding these animals. The Begging Burros inhabit one area of the park upon a hill where approximately 50 of them try to obtain any food they can. Custer State Park’s roadway is blocked off by these animals to the point where a driver needs to beep his or her horn to pass and continue through the park.

List of Angel episodes
“Apocalypse, Nowish” is episode 7 of season 4 in the television show Angel. Written by Steven S. DeKnight and directed by Vern Gillum, it was originally broadcast on November 17, 2002 on the WB network. The WB referred to this episode as “Rain of Fire” when it was first aired, which DeKnight attributes to “legal issues” over the title’s reference to the 1979 film Apocalypse Now.
In “Apocalypse, Nowish”, Angel Investigations deals with a sudden wave of paranormal activity all over Los Angeles, portending the rise of the apocalyptic beast of whom Cordelia has been experiencing visions. As the Beast rises from the bowels of the Earth to bring a rain of fire over the city, Cordelia and Connor make love.

Plot
Lorne wants to learn what Cordelia remembers about her time as a higher power, but Angel insists that they wait before drilling her on her memories. Connor comforts Cordelia after another nightmare featuring the demon from her visions. Meanwhile, as Angel Investigations is flooded with calls involving paranormal activity all over Los Angeles, Wesley returns home after fighting a bug infestation to find Lilah dressed as Fred for sexual role-playing.
At Connor’s behest, Angel goes to see Cordy and she is finally able to talk to him. She tells him she loves him, but also that while she was a higher being, she saw and relived everything he did while he was Angelus. Her in-depth knowledge of that part of his past makes it too hard for her to be involved with him. Suddenly, she starts breathing hard and her eyes turn white as she warns Angel that “he’s coming.” Cordelia lies down and tells Angel and Connor what she remembers of her vision. Back at the hotel, Lorne picks up on the strained relationship between Fred and Gunn; since they jointly sought revenge on the man who sent Fred to a hell dimension, Fred has not been able to forgive Gunn for their actions. She leaves for the diner where she and Gunn are regulars.
Angel goes to Wolfram & Hart to demand that Lilah return the information the law firm sucked out of Lorne’s head about the impending apocalypse. Cordelia and Connor walk to an alleyway that Cordelia recognizes as the place where Connor was born, where Darla staked herself. A large, horned demon bursts from the ground before them, knocking them both down. Connor attacks, but his strength is not enough to stop the demon and he takes a brutal beating before the demon strides away. Cordelia tends to Connor’s wounds and finds that he has broken ribs, something that’s never happened to him before.
At the diner, a waitress tries to advise Fred on her relationship troubles, until an earthquake shatters the diner’s windows. Meanwhile, unable to locate Fred, Gunn is restless and tries to leave to find her, but Wesley appears and interrupts his departure. Aware of all the strange occurrences around town, he offers to work with them to deal with this problem, but Gunn’s too angry with Wesley to even consider the idea. Angel stops them all from leaving because he has information from Lilah that they must study to prevent the end of the world. The trio examine the pages containing information stolen earlier from Lorne’s brain. Another call is taken by Lorne and Angel instructs him to start mapping the locations from where the calls originate. The pages make no sense until Gunn sees that the pages fit together like a puzzle. Rearranging the sheets reveals a symbol shaped like a square with an “X” inside representing the “Eye of Fire.” Lorne makes another discovery: the mapped locations of strange occurrences form the same pattern. Angel and the gang determine that the location on the map that appears at the middle of the X is a popular club on a high rooftop. They arrive at the club to find a mass of dead bodies and the Beast waiting for them.
Angel and the team take on the demon but is overpowered. Crossbows, axes, and swords don’t have much impact, so Wesley tries a series of guns that also fail. Angel renews the battle and manages to send the demon to its knees, until the demon stakes him in the neck. With parting words about Cordelia’s safety with Connor, the demon sends Angel flying off the roof onto the floor. The demon forms the Eye of Fire using the dead bodies and sets them ablaze. Angel rips the stake from his neck and slowly begins to recover.
The fire on the roof rises towards the sky and soon fire starts to rain down as Connor and Cordelia watch. Connor blames himself for the whole situation, but Cordelia comforts and reassures him that he’s not to blame. Under the control of the now awakened Jasmine, Cordelia kisses Connor and offers him the chance to feel something real. While everyone else watches the fire, fearing the future that awaits them, Connor and Cordelia (Jasmine) have sex. Connor is seeking comfort in her arms yet Jasmine is merely using Cordelia’s body to create a separate body for herself via pregnancy through which she can enter the world. Angel, unaware of the Cordelia/Jasmine situation, watches the woman he loves making love to his son, believing she has betrayed him.

Production
Executive producer Jeffrey Jackson Bell employed the effects shop Almost Human to design Vladimir Kulich’s costuming and make-up. Almost Human makeup designer Chris Burdett says it took 2–3 days for four people to sculpt the costume and another 7 hours to fill and shape the huge fiberglass mold; a life cast was made of Kulich so that the suit would fit him exactly. The night before shooting was to begin, the crew finally established the costume’s paint scheme. Kulich went through an eight hour make-up process to transform him into the character of the Beast, including prosthetics and fiberglass body suit, but “The worst part was the contact lenses… cover the entire eyeball,” the actor said. However, the isolating nature of the 50 lb costume meant that “I was able to search a little deeper for material while I was in the character because I was cocooned off…It was liberating.” Writer Steven S. DeKnight says all the full-suit shots of the Beast feature stunt double Scott Workman. They cut to Kulich only for the close-ups.
According to director Vern Gillum, “J. August Richards is terrified by rats, just like his character. This is the nicest guy in the world and it was just torment for him beyond anything you could imagine.” In the final fight scene, which took two full days to film, Charisma Carpenter had to be careful doing her stunts, as she was already pregnant.
Arc significance
This episode marks the debut of The Beast, who becomes one of Angel Investigations’ most powerful foes.
Wesley officially rejoins the team, having been just the occasional helper since he kidnapped Connor in Season 3.
Cordelia’s tryst with Connor will have severe ramifications, leading to her pregnancy, the eventual birth of Jasmine, and ultimately, her death.
Continuity
Wikiquote has a collection of quotations related to: Angel#Apocalypse, Nowish
Gunn’s fear of rats was first mentioned in “Heartthrob”.
Fred previously went to the diner in “Couplet” and “Loyalty”, both times with Gunn.
Gunn’s home-made axe (made from a vehicle hubcap) is crushed by the Beast in the ensuing fight. The axe was first seen in the season 2 episode “Dear Boy” and made numerous appearances over the next two seasons.
Cultural references
Apocalypse Now: The name of this episode is a play on the name of the 1979 film.
Jaws: Lorne’s line, “I’m gonna need a bigger arrow” may be an allusion to Brody’s line “You’re gonna need a bigger boat” in the 1975 film.
The final fight scene with the Beast references many classic cinematic fighting styles, including The Matrix (the Beast deflecting arrows while the camera does a slow motion circular pan), John Woo (Wesley firing two handguns while moving laterally), and Terminator 2 (Wesley pushing the Beast backwards with repeated shotgun blasts).
Translations
German title: “Die Ankunft” (”The arrival”)
Italian title: “Pioggia di fuoco” (”Rain of fire”)
French title: “Le déluge de feu” (”Deluge of Fire”)
Reception
Writer Steven DeKnight says, “One of the biggest things this year has been the reaction to “Apocalypse, Nowish.” Everybody loved the show, basically giving it five stars then taking three away because of the very end.” When fans speculated why Cordelia would sleep with Angel’s son, DeKnight cautions, “There is a bigger reason for it that will become apparent as well… You have to remember it’s a long story arc.” Many people were disturbed that Cordelia slept with Connor, and Charisma Carpenter agrees: “I hear a lot of “ewwww,” and I agree. It is ewwwy. Only something deplorable and devilish and truly evil could do something so horrid.”

Stadio Renzo Barbera (previously and still commonly known as Stadio La Favorita) is a football stadium in Palermo, Italy. It is currently home of U.S. Città di Palermo football team. The stadium was inaugurated on January 24, 1932 and was named Stadio Littorio in homage to the Fascism. The opening match was Palermo vs Atalanta, with Palermo winning 5-1. A track surrounded the pitch and there were no stands behind either goal. In 1936, the stadium was renamed Stadio Michele Marrone, in memory of a soldier killed during the Spanish Civil War. The name was changed again at the end of World War II to Stadio La Favorita, from the name of the nearby ancient game preserve of Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor in the XIII century.
In 1948, the track was removed and stands behind each goal were built. In 1984, the second main redevelopment took place, involving the addition of a second tier to the stadium which increased capacity to 50,000 spectators. This higher capacity was however completely covered in only twice, respectively in a Serie C1 league match against Messina and a friendly match against Juventus. A third redevelopment ended in 1990, the last main one to which the venue was subjected and was undertaken due to city of Palermo having been chosen to host a number of the 1990 FIFA World Cup First Round matches. Due to this redevelopment, the capacity of the stadium was lowered to its current 37,619 seats.
On September 18, 2002 the stadium was renamed as Renzo Barbera, past chairman of Palermo in the club’s last Serie A tenure, as well as the two Coppa Italia finals throughout the 1960s and the 1970s, who had died that same year on May 19. In the Serie A 2004-05 campaign, which marked the first Palermo appearance in the top division in over 30 years, all seats in the stadium were already assigned in the summer to season-ticket holders. However, this was not repeated in the next years.
Plans were recently announced by current Palermo chairman Maurizio Zamparini in order to build a new stadium to be owned directly by the club.

It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with Cliens. (Discuss)
In ancient Roman society, a client (Latin, cliens) was a plebeian who was sponsored by a patron benefactor (patronus, a predecessor to the Italian padrino, godfather). The patron assisted his client with his protection and regular gifts; the client dedicated his vote whenever the patron or his associate was up for election.
This right of patronage was established by Romulus, to unite the plebians and the patricians together, in such a manner that one might live without envy, and the other without contempt. However, the condition of a client, over the course of time, became little else but a moderate kind of slavery.
By degrees, the custom extended itself beyond Rome; and not only families, but cities, and entire provinces, even out of the Italian Peninsula, followed the example. Thus, Sicily, for example, put itself under the clientela, or protection of Marcus Claudius Marcellus.
Lazius and Budaeus refer the origin of fiefs and tenures to the patrons and clients of Ancient Rome; however, the difference between the relation of vassals and their lords, and that of clients and their patrons, is fairly considerable. In addition to the respect a client showed his patron, and the vote he gave him, a vassal was also obliged to assist his lord in all affairs; and even pay his ransom, if he should be taken prisoner of war, in the case that the lord was not able to provide it himself.
The Latin word cliens is formed of the earlier cluens, “hearing”, in the sense that such an individual is at the call of his patron.
