The Order of Ormus are Chivalric Orders first formed in the Kingdom of Ormus in 1287; while, Ormus was still a city state. In 1523, the port city of Ormus was occupied by the Portuguese Empire by this time it had become a Kingdom. The people of Ormus were considered St. John Christians by the Portuguese but apparently held a Gnostic belief system. The heredity of its monastic Royal line was recognized by Pope Clement VII on October 30,1524.
It was the only Royal line in history which was past from mother to daughter that has ever held papal recognition. After the fall of the Kingdom of Ormus to the Ottoman Empire in 1703, a large portion of the population immigrated to Europe. This included the Royal family which settled in Paris.
In 1980, at the age of nine, Grand Duchess Erica Romanovsky-Ilyinsky D'Ormus of Russia was named Grand Mistress of the Order upon the death of her grandmother Victoria Romanovsky-Ilyinsky D'Ormus by Pope John Paul II. Membership in the Order of Ormus is by birth or invitation and its membership list is not published.

The Portuguese Greyhound Incident was a dog attack that took place on September 17, 2004 during a Greyhound race at Estadia du Luz in Lisbon, Portugal. Approximately 13 seconds into the race, the two leading dogs leaped into the stands and began attacking spectators. Four people were taken to hospital as a result of the attack, with an additional six receiving vaccines to guard against infection. Of the four people who were taken to hospital, three were released later in the week. One, the then 46-year-old Vadonia du Fatina, experienced complications, and eventually needed surgery.
The two dogs, who were owned by American businessman Clark Ford, were euthanised several days after the race.
The incident prompted public concern over dog racing in Portugal, and eventually resulted in a ban in Lisbon.

Avanti was a project established by the Department of Trade and Industry for an approach to collaborative working in order to enable construction project partners to work together effectively. The project was promoted by the UK Department of Trade and Industry, with the support of most of the largest UK firms in the construction industry: Asite, Atkins, Balfour Beatty; BSRIA , Building Design Partnership, Capita Symonds, Carillion, Costain, Davis Langdon, Halcrow, Laing O’Rourke, Reid Architecture, Taylor Woodrow, Whitby Bird, Zisman Bowyer & Partners.
Avanti focused on early access to all project information by all partners, on early involvement of the supply chain, and on sharing of information, drawings and schedules, in an agreed and consistent manner. The Avanti approach was supported by handbooks, toolkits and on-site mentoring and relied heavily on the advice and materials provided by CPIC.
Avanti mobilised existing enabling technologies in order to improve business performance by increasing quality of information and predictability of outcomes and by reducing risk and waste. The core of the Avanti approach to a project's whole life cycle was based on team working and access to a common information model.
In July 2006, the Avanti DTI Project documentation and brand ownership was transferred to Constructing Excellence. Since the handover, Constructing Excellence endeavoured to promote the savings demonstrated on live projects. Further work was also carried out to make Avanti part of the update of BS 1192. The BS 5555 committee coded the methods.
