Administrative divisions of Wisconsin

The administrative divisions of Wisconsin include counties, cities, villages and towns. In Wisconsin, all of these are units of general-purpose local government. There are also a number of special purpose districts formed to handle regional concerns, such as school districts.

Whether a municipality is a city, village or town is not strictly dependent on the community's population or area, but on the form of government selected by the residents and approved by the Wisconsin State Legislature. Cities and villages can overlap county boundaries, for example the city of Whitewater is located in Walworth and Jefferson counties.

County

The county is the primary political subdivision of Wisconsin. Every county has a county seat, often a populous or centrally located city or village, where the government offices for the county are located. Within each county are cities, villages and towns. As of 2015, Wisconsin had 72 counties.

A Board of Supervisors is the main legislative entity of the county. Supervisors are elected in nonpartisan elections for two-year terms (except in Milwaukee County where the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors served four years). In May 2013, the Wisconsin Legislature passed a bill that will reduce the terms of office from four-years to two-years for the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors. The type of executive official in each county varies: 11 counties have a County Executive elected in a nonpartisan election for a four-year term; 20 counties have appointed County Administrators; and 41 have appointed Administrative Coordinators. Other officials include sheriffs, district attorneys, clerks, treasurers, coroners, surveyors, registers of deeds, and clerks of circuit court; these officers are elected for four-year terms. In most counties, elected coroners have been replaced by appointed medical examiners. State law permits counties to appoint a registered land surveyor in place of electing a surveyor.

Untamed (Cam album)

Untamed is the major label debut studio album recorded by American country artist Cam. It was released on 11 December, 2015 via Arista Nashville and RCA Records. The project was executive produced by Jeff Bhasker, Tyler Johnson, and Cam, the former two of whom also produced the album with four other producers.

The album's launch was fueled by the song "Burning House", a single released in mid 2015 that became her breakthrough hit. Untamed was nearly completed before the song's success, having been a project five years in the making. Mainly recorded in Cam's home state of California, the album's content incorporates electronic sounds mixed in with country pop elements.

The lyrical content of Untamed is derived from the scenes of Cam's own life. It addresses themes associated with heartbreak, loss, and spontaneity. Untamed received critical acclaim upon its release. Critics responded to Cam's vocal delivery, as well as the album's various musical styles. The album also achieved commercial success, reaching top positions on major Billboard charts upon its initial release.

Imperial (band)

Imperial is an American metalcore band from Orlando, Florida. Their music is a mixture of modern metal, hardcore, and Black Metal.

History

The Red Letter (2003-2005)

Imperial was formed by Dale Dupree, Josh Lightfoot, and Brandon Pangle as "The Red Letter", in Orlando, Florida in 2003. They toured with other bands throughout the United States, ending with a performance at Cornerstone Fest in Illinois.

The tour resulted in a recording contract with Pluto Records. Shortly afterward, the band changed their name from "The Red Letter", due to other bands having similar names, to the name Imperial.

This Grave Is My Poem (2004-2006)

After signing with Pluto Records, the band released their first album, This Grave Is My Poem, with the help of Jeremy Staska at Studio 13 and Allan Douches at West West side for mastering duties.

After this release, they spent the next year touring national with other bands, as well as headlining their own tour. After the tours had completed, they began working on their new album.

Imperial (beer)

Imperial (Cerveza Imperial) is a Costa Rican brand of beer, manufactured by the Florida Ice & Farm Company (FIFCO). Imperial, a lager, was first produced by the Ortega brewery in 1924 and is the most popular beer in Costa Rica. It has spun off Imperial Light and Imperial Silver. FIFCO produces other beers including its Pilsen, Bavaria, and Rock Ice brands.

In addition to being a brand of beer, the term "Imperial" when referring to craft beer is commonly used to describe a brewery's unique take on one of their regular styles. These beers often accentuate the style's characteristics and are labeled as Imperial IPA, Imperial Porter, or Imperial Pilsner, for example.

Logo

Its logo, which is a well known icon in Costa Rica, was designed by Enrique Hangen, who, at the time, was the owner of the advertising agency "Casa Gráfica". Imperial is also known by Costa Ricans as "Aguila" or "Aguilita", which translates into English as "eagle" or "Little Eagle" in reference to its logo, which is the Imperial Eagle used in European heraldry.

Imperial (comics)

"Imperial" was the second story arc from Grant Morrison's run on the Marvel Comics title New X-Men, running from issues #118-126. It further explored the origin behind the character Cassandra Nova as well as giving more depth to the student body at the Xavier Institute, specifically the Stepford Cuckoos, Beak, and Angel Salvadore.

Plot

As mutant culture takes center stage in the world media, a new movement propagated by book The Third Species begins to affect human/mutant relations. Several school shootings occur where the assailant takes mutant organs to graft to themselves, believing they will transcend to a higher state of evolution (somehow superior to the natural mutations occurring). Cyclops and Emma investigate the impetus behind this movement by confronting John Sublime, the book's author. He reveals himself to be leader of the U-Men, a radical group that doesn't improve themselves by changing their own genes, but by harvesting mutant parts from unwilling donors. Cyclops and Emma are taken hostage for fatal surgery.
