# Charles Marie Raymond, 5th Duke of Arenberg

## Abstract

Charles Marie Raymond d'Arenberg (Enghien, 1 April 1721 – Enghien, 17 August 1778) was the fifth Duke of Arenberg, 11th Duke of Aarschot and an Austrian field marshal.

## Biography

Charles Marie was the eldest son of Duke Leopold Philippe of Arenberg and Duchess Maria Francesca Pignatelli-Bisaccia (1696–1766). His sister was Marie Victoire d'Arenberg, wife of Augustus George, Margrave of Baden-Baden.

Charles Marie joined his father's 1743 campaign in the War of Austrian Succession, first as lieutenant-colonel and later as colonel of the second Walloon Infantry Regiment, which he had raised personally. He commanded this regiment in the 1744 and 1745 campaigns, until he became colonel of the Baden-Baden Regiment. One year later he became major general. In 1748, he played an important role in the defence of Maastricht against the French.

Charles Marie also became Grand-Bailli of Hainaut and Mons in 1740.

In the first years of the Seven Years' War, he was active in the Bohemian theater of war. He participated in the Battle of Prague (1757) and the many battles that followed.

In 1758, he was promoted to Feldzeugmeister. On 14 October of that year, he played a crucial role in the victorious Battle of Hochkirch as commander of the right wing of the Austrian Army. For this, he was awarded the Grand Cross of the Military Order of Maria Theresa. In the 1759 campaign, he commanded several Army Corps and was defeated near Dresden on 29 October by Prussian troops under General Wunsch. He was praised for his actions in the lost Battle of Torgau on 3 November 1760, in which he was severely wounded.

These wounds meant the end of his active career, and he retired. In 1776, he was admitted to the Geheimrat, and he was made Field Marshal in 1777.

## Family

He married Countess Louise Margarethe von der Marck-Schleiden (1730–1820), daughter of Count Louis Engelbert von der Marck-Schleiden in 1748.

They had eight children, amongst whom:

- Louis Engelbert, 6th Duke of Arenberg (1750–1820), married Louise Antoinette de Brancas-Villars, Countess of Lauragais (1755–1812),

- Leopoldine d'Arenberg (1751–1812), married Joseph, Count zu Windisch-Graetz (1744–1802)

- Marie-Flore (1752–1832), married Wolfgang, 3rd Duke of Ursel (1750–1804)

- Auguste Marie Raymond (1753–1833), married Marie-Françoise Le Danois (1757–1810),

- Marie Louise Françoise (1754–1838), married Ludwig, Prince of Starhemberg (1762–1833).

- Charles Joseph (1755–1775)

- Louis Marie Eugène (1757–1795), married Anne de Mailly-Nesle (1766–1789)

His sister, Princess Marie-Flore d'Arenberg, was the wife of Count Jean Charles de Merode-Deynze.


Wan Guopeng (actor)

# Wan Guopeng (actor)

## Abstract

Wan Guopeng (Chinese: 万国鹏; pinyin: wàn guó péng, born on 12 September 1994), is a Chinese actor.

## Early experiences

Wan Guopeng's family was considered well-off in the local area. His father was a factory accountant and his mother was an obstetrician and gynecologist. When Wan Guopeng was in high school, he became interested in the wonders of traditional Chinese medicine, so he came to Harbin alone and spent three years studying acupuncture at Heilongjiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. But when he graduated, he realized that he could not bear the life, aging, illness, and death that doctors often face. At that time, Wan Guopeng was interning in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Every day he was responsible for measuring the blood pressure and electrocardiogram of an old man with lung cancer. However, a week later, the old man still died of advanced cancer. Wan Guopeng said, "Even very famous doctors couldn't help." This was the first patient Wan Guopeng came into contact with. He found it difficult to accept the sudden loss of life and felt helpless at work.

Wan Guopeng gave up his career as a doctor and began to look for a new direction in life. Later, he saw a sentence in a book in the school library that he can still recite fluently today: Young people should follow the direction of their passion, the direction of their hearts, and the direction of their dreams. In an instant, "like a voice-over", the word "actor" popped into his mind. He finally decided to go to Hengdian World Studios and began to become an Extra (acting). In March 2014, he starred in the inspirational drama film " I Am Somebody " directed by Derek Yee, playing the male lead in his true colors., which was released in 2015.

Bnei Herzliya Basket

# Bnei Herzliya Basket

## Abstract

Bnei Herzliya Basket (Hebrew: בני הרצליה, lit. Sons of Herzliya), is a professional basketball club that is based in Herzliya, in the Sharon district in Israel. The club plays in the Israeli Basketball Premier League, the top division of Israeli basketball. It has won the Israeli State Cup twice, most recently in 2022. The team was founded in 1985, and the team's colors are blue and white.

## History

The club was originally founded in 1985, under the name Hapoel Herzliya. In 2002, the club merged with Maccabi Ra'anana in a neighboring town, and was re-named Bnei HaSharon. The merger was entered into because of Maccabi Ra'anana's financial problems and Bnei HaSharon's relegation from the top-level Israeli Basketball Premier League, following the 2001–02 season.

At the end of 2010–11 season, the merger ended, and the team started playing only for the Israeli city of Herzliya. In 2012, the club was re-named Bnei Herzliya. In 2022, the club won the Israeli State Cup for the second time, beating Hapoel Tel Aviv 87:82 in the final.

Gwalia United F.C.

# Gwalia United F.C.

## Abstract

Gwalia United is a Welsh women's football club playing in the FAWNL Southern Premier Division. The club was renamed Gwalia United prior to the start of the 2024–25 season. Prior to this, the club was most recently called Cardiff City Ladies F.C. but has also played as Llanedeyrn L.F.C., Inter Cardiff F.C. and Cardiff County L.F.C.

## History

The club was founded in 1975 as Llanedeyrn L.F.C. after a local charity match. In 1981 the name was changed to Cardiff L.F.C., and in 1993 the club linked up with Inter Cardiff F.C. and started playing at the Cardiff Athletic Stadium. In 1997, the connection with Inter Cardiff was terminated and the club changed its name to Cardiff County L.F.C while affiliating with the Cardiff County Council. In 2001 the club began affiliating with Cardiff City, the professional men’s club from the same city.

At the beginning of the 2003 season, however, the club severed its connection with its male counterpart when its members voted against the men’s club's proposals and its operations became an independent outfit again. Although they were allowed to keep use of the Cardiff City name and kit colours, their crest is very different, and no longer uses the famous moniker 'Bluebirds', incorporating the Welsh red dragon instead.

In 2006 Cardiff City Ladies won the FA Women's Premier League Southern Division and were promoted to the National Division for the first time. Relegated in the 2007–08 season, the club again were promoted to the National Division in 2010–11.

In the 2021/2022 season, Cardiff City Ladies were relegated from the FA Women's Premier League Southern Division and were demoted to the National Division. Club Chair Michele Adams said "We'll be back!" and in the following season; 2022/2023, the Dragons returned to the FA Women's Premier League Southern Division at the first time of asking.

## Dragons Training Centre

In 2022 the club opened their youth training centre for girls aged 6-16.

The Dragons Training Centre uses the Soccer Profile to measure and track players' progress, enabling them to develop their technical skills. The sessions run at the centre are open to all players regardless of team affiliation or ability.

The centre is based at the FAW facility, Amdani Hi @ Ocean Way. This is a pioneering hub for women's and girls' football, funded by the FAW.
