Archduchess Elisabeth Marie of Austria

Archduchess Elisabeth Marie Henriette Stephanie Gisela of Austria (Erzsébet Mária Henrietta Stefánia Gizella; 2 September 1883 – 16 March 1963) was the only child of Rudolf, Crown Prince of Austria, and Princess Stéphanie of Belgium. Her father was the son and heir apparent of Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria, and her mother was a daughter of King Leopold II of Belgium. She was known to her family as "Erzsi", a diminutive of her name in Hungarian. Later nicknamed The Red Archduchess, she was famous for becoming a socialist and a member of the Austrian Social Democratic Party.

Early life
Archduchess Elisabeth, nicknamed 'Erzsi', was born at Schloss Laxenburg on 2 September 1883 to Crown Prince Rudolf and Stéphanie, daughter of King Leopold II of Belgium. She was named after her grandmothers, Empress Elisabeth of Austria and Queen Marie Henriette of Belgium. Erzsi was Franz Joseph's only grandchild through his son.

In 1889, when Erzsi was a little over five years old, her father and Baroness Mary von Vetsera, his mistress, were found dead in what was assumed to be a murder-suicide pact at the Imperial hunting lodge at Mayerling. Her father's death interrupted the dynastic succession within the Austrian imperial family, fractured her grandparents' already tenuous marriage and was a catalyst in Austria-Hungary's gradual destabilization, which culminated in the First World War and the subsequent disintegration of the Habsburg Empire. After Rudolf's death, Franz Joseph took over guardianship of Erzsi; by his order, she was forbidden to leave Austria with her mother. At a young age she displayed a strong personality, as well as an opposition to the Viennese court.

Her grandmother, the capricious and image obsessed Empress Elisabeth, did not enjoy being identified as a grandmother and was therefore not close to any of her grandchildren. However, after her assassination in 1898, her will specified that outside a large bequest of the sale of her jewels to benefit charities and religious orders, all of her personal property was bequeathed to Erzsi, her namesake and Rudolf's only child. The Empress made no secret of her dislike of her daughter-in-law prior to the scandal, and after the Mayerling incident, blamed Stéphanie's jealous behavior for her son's depression and suicide. The crown princess herself was entirely dependent on the Emperor's charity, therefore the lack of imperial support towards Stéphanie following her husband's death negatively impacted her relationship with her daughter; the parent and child were never close. In 1900, Stéphanie renounced her title of Crown Princess to marry the Protestant Hungarian count Elemér Lónyay von Nagy-Lónya und Vásáros-Namény (he was eventually made a Prince in 1917 by Emperor Karl I.). Although Emperor Franz Joseph provided his daughter-in-law with a dowry and Lónyay eventually converted to Roman Catholicism, Elisabeth broke off all contact with her mother as she disapproved of the marriage, feeling it a betrayal of her father's memory. Later, following her marriage, Stéphanie retaliated by disinheriting Elisabeth in 1934.

First marriage
Elisabeth was considered a potential bride for several princes in Europe; among them was her cousin Prince Albert, heir presumptive to the throne of Belgium. However, King Leopold II vehemently disapproved of Stéphanie's recent morganatic marriage to Count Elemér Lónyay and thus refused to give Albert his permission. Albert's sister Henriette was horrified at her brother's choice, feeling Elisabeth's background was too unstable for the marriage to be a success.

During a court ball in 1900, Elisabeth met Prince Otto Weriand of Windisch-Graetz (1873–1952), son of Prince Ernst Ferdinand Weriand of Windisch-Graetz (1827–1918) and Princess Kamilla Amalia Caroline Notgera of Oettingen-Oettingen und Oettingen-Spielberg (1845–1888). Ten years her senior, he was below her in rank. Nonetheless she importuned her grandfather to be allowed to marry him. Franz Joseph resisted at first, having intended for Elisabeth to marry the German Crown Prince, but eventually relented. Elisabeth and Prince Otto were related through her grandmother Sisi. They were third cousins twice removed as Otto was third cousin of the late Empress, both descending from Duke Charles Marie of Arenberg. By many accounts it was Elisabeth alone who wanted the marriage, as Otto was already engaged to a Countess von Schönborn and was reportedly dumbfounded when Franz Joseph informed him of his new engagement. Ordered by the Emperor to break his "lesser" engagement to marry his granddaughter, he complied.

In order to avoid future succession issues, the Emperor made the marriage conditional on Elisabeth's renouncing her right to succession, although he allowed her to keep her personal title and style, as well as providing her with a generous dowry. While his family was officially listed in the Habsburg list of families which were allowed to make an equal marriage (Ebenbürtigkeit) with an Imperial family, they still regarded Otto's Mediatized House and the marriage as a mésalliance and wanted the marriage to be treated as morganatic. As it was a case of the Emperor's favorite granddaughter and Otto's family was legally considered equal for dynastic purposes, as were marriages with all other mediatized Princely families, the marriage was officially treated as equal and his family would have grounds for pressing Elisabeth to become empress should the succession become interrupted again.

The couple married at the Hofburg on 23 January 1902. They had three sons: Prince Franz Joseph, Prince Ernst and Prince Rudolf. Their last child and only daughter, Princess Stephanie, was born at Ploschkowitz.

The marriage, however, was troubled, and led to unwelcome reminders for the Emperor of his son's death, and possible further scandal for the family: His granddaughter has lately married the Prince Windischgratz; she was the only daughter of the late Crown Prince Rudolf. The marriage was a love match, but when they had been married only about one year they quarrelled on account of an actress at Prague, who was fired at by the Princess. The actress has since died of the wound. The Emperor, in consequence of this event, did not attend the baptism of the son of the Archduchess Princess Windischgratz. The whole affair caused a painful sensation at the Court in Vienna, though it has been hushed up as most events of the kind are.

"The Red Archduchess"
Throughout their marriage both Elisabeth and Otto were open in having affairs, most notably the former's liaison with the young Austrian naval officer Egon Lerch, who would later command the submarine U-12 during World War I.

Only after the death of Franz Joseph in 1916 and the end of the monarchy in 1918 did the couple officially separate. In 1921 Elisabeth joined the Social Democratic Party, where she met Leopold Petznek from Bruck an der Leitha, then president of the audit office, at one of the election meetings. A teacher and a committed Social Democratic politician who became president of the Lower Austrian Landtag (state parliament) after the war, Petznek came from a modest background, but was highly cultivated. He was also married; his wife, with whom he had a son, was institutionalized at a psychiatric hospital in Mauer-Ohling, where she died on 9 June 1935.

The lengthy legal process dragged on, and it was not until March 1924 that Elisabeth was able to obtain a judicial separation. A sensational custody battle for their four children ensued. Originally the court granted Elisabeth custody of the two elder sons, while their younger son and daughter were to live with Otto. She is supposed to have prevented this either by presenting Otto with a house full of armed Socialists when he came to remove them, or else by threatening him with suicide should she have to give them up. In any event, Elisabeth ultimately retained custody of all four children. Elisabeth doted on her children when they were young, but her relationship with them deteriorated as they grew older. Rudolf, in accordance with her socialist views, was reportedly taken out of school and put to work in a factory. Elisabeth and her daughter Stephanie did not have a good relationship; she reportedly stated that she married her first husband based on the fact that her mother did not like him.

Elisabeth moved to the Hütteldorf district of Vienna and bought a villa in 1929, where she lived with Petznek for the next twenty years. She was at his side at Social Democratic marches and meetings, where she was accepted and accorded great respect. Leopold, however, due to his "haughty" character, was not welcome in aristocratic circles. In 1934 her husband and son made a legal motion to place her under a conservatorship on the grounds that she had squandered profits from the sale of the couple's property in numerous donations, made in order to join the Social Democrats. The motion was later dropped. Although divorce became legal in 1938, when Austria became part of Germany and adopted German law after the Anschluss, Elisabeth was not able to divorce her husband until after the end of the war.

Second marriage
In late 1933 Petznek was arrested and imprisoned by the Austrian government until July 1934. In 1944, he was arrested by the Nazis and sent to Dachau concentration camp until the camp was liberated by the Americans in March 1945. After the war he became the first President of the Austrian Federal Court of Audit. As Elisabeth renounced her official title of Archduchess to the House of Habsburg at the time of her first marriage, the new Habsburg Laws did not apply to her; she was allowed to stay in Austria and retain her personal possessions. She formally divorced Prince Otto in early 1948, and on 4 May 1948 she and Leopold married in a registry office in Vienna.

When Vienna was occupied by the Red Army, Elisabeth's villa was commandeered and then ransacked by Soviet soldiers. When Hütteldorf became part of the French occupied zone, the villa was occupied by General Bethouart; Elisabeth and Leopold were not allowed to return until 1955, when the Allied occupation ended. By then both were in poor health: Petznek died in July 1956 from a heart attack, while Elisabeth—who was confined to a wheelchair due to gout—bred German Shepherds, but became reclusive until her death in 1963.

Aftermath
On her deathbed, she ordered her staff to close her villa against her two surviving children and call for a police detail to secure her belongings until the Ministry of Education could remove them. Only her daughter was allowed to see her for a few moments, in the presence of her servants. She had willed some 500 heirlooms, owned by the Habsburg Imperial family, to the Republic of Austria. Over the objections of her first husband, who thought they should go to their children, she wanted all art and books to "be put back in their former places", as she did not believe Imperial property should be sold at auction or come into the possession of foreigners; these pieces are in museums in Vienna today.

She died in Vienna, aged 79. According to her wishes, she was buried in an unmarked grave at the Hütteldorfer Friedhof in Vienna with her second husband, close to the house where she spent her last years.

Since 1995, the villa has been in the possession of the international (Buddhist) community Soka Gakkai International.

Ana Ng

"Ana Ng" is a song by alternative rock band They Might Be Giants. It was released as the lead single from the band's 1988 album Lincoln. Although the song was their first US chart appearance, hitting number 11 on the US Modern Rock chart, the single was never officially released in the US. It was only released for promotional purposes in the US, and it saw official releases in 1989 in the United Kingdom (as a maxi-single), Australia, and later, in 1991, in Europe.

Background
The title of the track came from an experience that band members John Flansburgh and John Linnell (the Johns) had when they found a huge number of Ng listings in the New York City phone book.

"Linnell: 'I think I was collecting possible song ideas and, for some reason, I ended up looking in the phone book, and there were about four pages of this name that contains no vowels, Ng. I was fascinated because it's a name I didn't know about before, and it was filling up a large chunk of the Manhattan white pages. I called up some of the numbers kind of experimentally to find out how it was pronounced, and I got the phone machine of a Dr. Ng and I was kind of relieved. The message said, 'Dr. Ng is not in,' and I had my material.' (Pitchfork Magazine, 1996)"

Ng is a common Cantonese family name; in Cantonese, it is pronounced, like the last sound in the English word song.

"Linnell: 'The other inspiration for [Ana Ng] was a Pogo comic strip. [...] Some of the characters are digging a hole. They decide they're going to dig to China, but one of the smarter characters pulls this huge revolver out of a drawer and shoots a hole 'in the desktop globe.' Then they look at the other side and the hole is in the Indian Ocean. (Pitchfork Magazine, 1996)."

The song, or at least part of it, is set against the backdrop of the 1964 New York World's Fair, which John Linnell attended as a child. It includes references to "It's a Small World" and the DuPont pavilion, both attractions at the fair.

The line "I don't want the world / I just want your half" is said by Lisa Klapp, a friend of the Johns, and recorded through a telephone.

Music video
A music video for the song was shot at the Ward's Island Fireman's Training Center, and was directed by Adam Bernstein. The song makes mention of a "foreign nation" while a map of Romania (specifically the cities of Bragadiru and Slobozia) is shown.

In 2006, a Pitchfork Media staff review of "100 Awesome Music Videos" included "Ana Ng" on the list. The review praised the video's simplicity, stating that it "matches They Might Be Giants' weird lyrics with equally weird visuals that eschew literality in favor of strange juxtapositions of Cold War ephemera that subtly shade the song with new meanings." It also commented on the lack of special effects: "[T]he clip is just two guys, a camera, and a cool set. And that's all you need."

Reception
The song has been well received by numerous critics. Longtime music critic Robert Christgau called it "a beyond-perfect tour de force about a Vietnamese woman they never got to meet." In a review for Lincoln on AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine described "Ana Ng" as a standout song having "irresistible pop hooks". Also for AllMusic, critic Steve Huey reviewed the individual song at length, naming it "a masterpiece of pop absurdism." He cited its "typically playful, seemingly free-associative" lyrics, noting that the syntax is "elongated and convoluted, as one prepositional phrase after another gets tacked on; it's a subtle expression of the group's sense of humor".

 * "Ana Ng" has been covered by the rock band Self on the album Hello Radio: The Songs of They Might Be Giants.
 * The song was featured during the 2008 Jim Carrey comedy film Yes Man.

where to put stuff?
Tosha suggests that this article is not the right place to talk about vectors as derivations or bundles and their sections. But it seems that there is nowhere with a sophsiticated discussion of vector fields. we need one. but where? - Lethe 00:10, Jul 17, 2004 (UTC)

"ring"
This claims that if an area preserving map of a ring twists each boundary component in opposite directions, then the map has at least two fixed points.

Umm, like a diamond ring? Why can't the word "cylindar" be used, if that's what is meant??

First figure
The caption for the first figure (as of Feb 1, 2016 it shows a hyperbolic triangle embedded in a hyperbolic plane) uses two terms which I think ought to be replaced: 1) it uses "plane" when the figure clearly is not a (euclidean) plane. While the modifier "hyperbolic" could be added, I suggest it would be better to substitute the word "surface" here. 2) it uses the word "immersed"; I've never seen that useage; the word suggests - to me - a depth that a surface does not possess. The better word is clearly "embedded". If the editors agree, please make the changes.216.96.79.179 (talk) 16:39, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Galilean transformation

In physics, a Galilean transformation is used to transform between the coordinates of two reference frames which differ only by constant relative motion within the constructs of Newtonian physics. These transformations together with spatial rotations and translations in space and time form the inhomogeneous Galilean group (assumed throughout below). Without the translations in space and time the group is the homogeneous Galilean group. The Galilean group is the group of motions of Galilean relativity acting on the four dimensions of space and time, forming the Galilean geometry. This is the passive transformation point of view. In special relativity the homogenous and inhomogenous Galilean transformations are, respectively, replaced by the Lorentz transformations and Poincaré transformations; conversely, the group contraction in the classical limit $c → ∞$ of Poincaré transformations yields Galilean transformations.

The equations below are only physically valid in a Newtonian framework, and not applicable to coordinate systems moving relative to each other at speeds approaching the speed of light.

Galileo formulated these concepts in his description of uniform motion. The topic was motivated by his description of the motion of a ball rolling down a ramp, by which he measured the numerical value for the acceleration of gravity near the surface of the Earth.

Translation
Although the transformations are named for Galileo, it is the absolute time and space as conceived by Isaac Newton that provides their domain of definition. In essence, the Galilean transformations embody the intuitive notion of addition and subtraction of velocities as vectors.

The notation below describes the relationship under the Galilean transformation between the coordinates $(x, y, z, t)$ and $(x′, y′, z′, t′)$ of a single arbitrary event, as measured in two coordinate systems $S$ and $S′$, in uniform relative motion (velocity $v$) in their common $x$ and $x′$ directions, with their spatial origins coinciding at time $t = t′ = 0$:

 * $$x' = x - v t $$
 * $$y' = y $$
 * $$z' = z $$
 * $$t' = t .$$

Note that the last equation holds for all Galilean transformations up to addition of a constant, and expresses the assumption of a universal time independent of the relative motion of different observers.

In the language of linear algebra, this transformation is considered a shear mapping, and is described with a matrix acting on a vector. With motion parallel to the x-axis, the transformation acts on only two components:
 * $$\begin{pmatrix} x' \\t' \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & -v \\0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix} x \\t \end{pmatrix} $$

Though matrix representations are not strictly necessary for Galilean transformation, they provide the means for direct comparison to transformation methods in special relativity.

Galilean transformations
The Galilean symmetries can be uniquely written as the composition of a rotation, a translation and a uniform motion of spacetime. Let $x$ represent a point in three-dimensional space, and $t$ a point in one-dimensional time. A general point in spacetime is given by an ordered pair $(x, t)$.

A uniform motion, with velocity $v$, is given by
 * $$(\mathbf{x},t) \mapsto (\mathbf{x}+t\mathbf{v},t),$$

where $v ∈ R^{3}$. A translation is given by
 * $$(\mathbf{x},t) \mapsto (\mathbf{x}+\mathbf{a},t+s),$$

where $a ∈ R^{3}$ and $s ∈ R$. A rotation is given by
 * $$(\mathbf{x},t) \mapsto (R\mathbf{x},t),$$

where $R : R^{3} → R^{3}$ is an orthogonal transformation.

As a Lie group, the group of Galilean transformations has dimension 10.

Galilean group
Two Galilean transformations $G(R, v, a, s)$ and $G(R', v′, a′, s′)$ compose to form a third Galilean transformation,

The set of all Galilean transformations $G(R′, v′, a′, s′) ⋅ G(R, v, a, s) = G(R′ R, R′ v + v′, R′ a + a′ + v′ s, s′ + s)$ forms a group with composition as the group operation.

The group is sometimes represented as a matrix group with spacetime events $Gal(3)$ as vectors where $(x, t, 1)$ is real and $t$ is a position in space. The action is given by
 * $$\begin{pmatrix}R & v & a \\ 0 & 1 & s \\ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} x\\ t\\ 1\end{pmatrix}   = \begin{pmatrix}  R x+vt  +a\\ t+s\\   1\end{pmatrix},$$

where $x ∈ R^{3}$ is real and $s$ and $v, x, a ∈ R^{3}$ is a rotation matrix. The composition of transformations is then accomplished through matrix multiplication. Care must be taken in the discussion whether one restricts oneself to the connected component group of the orthogonal transformations.

$R$ has named subgroups. The identity component is denoted $Gal(3)$.

Let $SGal(3)$ represent the transformation matrix with parameters $m$:
 * $$\{ m : R = I_3 \}, $$ anisotropic transformations.
 * $$\{ m : s = 0 \}, $$ isochronous transformations.
 * $$\{ m : s = 0, v = 0 \}, $$ spatial Euclidean transformations.
 * $$G_1 = \{ m : s = 0, a = 0 \},$$ uniformly special transformations / homogenous transformations, isomorphic to Euclidean transformations.
 * $$G_2 = \{ m : v = 0,  R = I_3  \} \cong \left(\mathbf{R}^4, +\right),$$ shifts of origin / translation in Newtonian spacetime.
 * $$G_3 = \{ m : s = 0, a = 0, v = 0 \} \cong \mathrm{SO}(3),$$ rotations (of reference frame) (see SO(3)), a compact group.
 * $$G_4 = \{ m : s = 0, a = 0, R = I_3 \} \cong \left(\mathbf{R}^3, +\right),$$ uniform frame motions / boosts.

The parameters $v, R, s, a$ span ten dimensions. Since the transformations depend continuously on $s, v, R, a$, $s, v, R, a$ is a continuous group, also called a topological group.

The structure of $Gal(3)$ can be understood by reconstruction from subgroups. The semidirect product combination ($$A \rtimes B $$) of groups is required.
 * 1) $$G_2 \triangleleft \mathrm{SGal}(3)$$ ($Gal(3)$ is a normal subgroup)
 * 2) $$\mathrm{SGal}(3) \cong G_2 \rtimes G_1$$
 * 3) $$G_4 \trianglelefteq G_1$$
 * 4) $$G_1 \cong G_4 \rtimes G_3$$
 * 5) $$\mathrm{SGal}(3) \cong \mathbf{R}^4 \rtimes (\mathbf{R}^3 \rtimes \mathrm{SO}(3)) .$$

Origin in group contraction
The Lie algebra of the Galilean group is spanned by $G_{2}$ and $H, P_{i}, C_{i}$ (an antisymmetric tensor), subject to commutation relations, where
 * $$[H,P_i]=0 $$
 * $$[P_i,P_j]=0 $$
 * $$[L_{ij},H]=0 $$
 * $$[C_i,C_j]=0 $$
 * $$[L_{ij},L_{kl}]=i [\delta_{ik}L_{jl}-\delta_{il}L_{jk}-\delta_{jk}L_{il}+\delta_{jl}L_{ik}] $$
 * $$[L_{ij},P_k]=i[\delta_{ik}P_j-\delta_{jk}P_i] $$
 * $$[L_{ij},C_k]=i[\delta_{ik}C_j-\delta_{jk}C_i] $$
 * $$[C_i,H]=i P_i \,\!$$
 * $$[C_i,P_j]=0 ~.$$

$H$ is the generator of time translations (Hamiltonian), $L_{ij}$ is the generator of translations (momentum operator), $P_{i}$ is the generator of rotationless Galilean transformations (Galileian boosts), and $C_{i}$ stands for a generator of rotations (angular momentum operator).

This Lie Algebra is seen to be a special classical limit of the algebra of the Poincaré group, in the limit $L_{ij}$. Technically, the Galilean group is a celebrated group contraction of the Poincaré group (which, in turn, is a group contraction of the de Sitter group $c → ∞$). Formally, renaming the generators of momentum and boost of the latter as in

where $SO(1,4)$ is the speed of light (or any unbounded function thereof), the commutation relations (structure constants) in the limit $P_{0} ↦ H / c$ take on the relations of the former. Generators of time translations and rotations are identified. Also note the group invariants $K_{i} ↦ c ⋅ C_{i}$ and $c$.

In matrix form, for $c → ∞$, one may consider the regular representation (embedded in $L_{mn} L^{mn}$, from which it could be derived by a single group contraction, bypassing the Poincaré group), $$ iH=  \left( {\begin{array}{ccccc}   0 &  0 &  0 & 0 &  0\\ 0 &  0 &  0 &  0 &  0\\ 0 &  0 &  0 &  0 &  0\\   0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1\\   0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\  \end{array} } \right)   , \qquad $$ $$ i\vec{a}\cdot\vec{P}= \left( {\begin{array}{ccccc}   0&0&0&0 & a_1\\   0&0&0&0  & a_2\\   0&0&0&0  & a_3\\   0 & 0 & 0 & 0& 0\\   0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\  \end{array} } \right), \qquad $$ $$ i\vec{v}\cdot\vec{C}= \left( {\begin{array}{ccccc} 0 & 0 & 0 & v_1 & 0\\  0 & 0 & 0 & v_2 & 0\\  0 & 0 & 0 & v_3 & 0\\   0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\   0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\  \end{array} } \right), \qquad $$ $$ i \theta_i \epsilon^{ijk} L_{jk} = \left( {\begin{array}{ccccc}  0& \theta_3 & -\theta_2 & 0 & 0\\   -\theta_3 & 0 &  \theta_1& 0 & 0\\   \theta_2 & -\theta_1 & 0 & 0 & 0\\   0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\   0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\  \end{array} } \right )  ~. $$

The infinitesimal group element is then

G(R,\vec{v},\vec{a},s)=1\!\!1_5  +       \left( {\begin{array}{ccccc}   0& \theta_3 & -\theta_2 & v_1& a_1\\      -\theta_3 & 0 &  \theta_1& v_2 & a_2\\   \theta_2 & -\theta_1 & 0 & v_3 & a_3\\      0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & s\\   0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\     \end{array} } \right )  +\ ... ~. $$

Central extension of the Galilean group
One may consider a central extension of the Lie algebra of the Galilean group, spanned by $P_{i} P$ and an operator M: The so-called Bargmann algebra is obtained by imposing $$[C'_i,P'_j]=i M\delta_{ij}$$, such that $d = 3$ lies in the center, i.e. commutes with all other operators.

In full, this algebra is given as
 * $$[H',P'_i]=0 \,\!$$
 * $$[P'_i,P'_j]=0 \,\!$$

Brian Sibley

Brian David Sibley (born 14 July 1949) is an English writer. He is author of over 100 hours of radio drama and has written and presented hundreds of radio documentaries, features and weekly programmes. He is widely known as the author of many film "making of" books, including those for the Harry Potter series and The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies.

Early life
Sibley was born in Wandsworth, London, to Eric George Sibley, an architectural draughtsman, and Doris Alice Sibley (née Summers). His uncle was the philosopher Frank Sibley.

His family moved to Chislehurst, Kent when he was five years old. He was educated at St Nicholas Church of England Primary School and Chislehurst Secondary School for Boys (later renamed Edgebury School for Boys), where he was awarded A-levels in English and Art.

Following the frustration of his varied ambitions to be an actor, a cartoonist and an animator, Sibley worked first in various clerical capacities for the London Borough of Bromley, and then for a shipping and finance company in London as a clerk, office manager and head of department. In his spare time he began submitting scripts to the BBC and, when his company was taken over, he accepted redundancy and became a full-time freelance writer.

Career
Radio writing and broadcasting

Sibley's first programme was Three Cheers for Pooh, broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on 14 October 1976 to mark the 50th anniversary of the publication of A. A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh. The programme was presented by actor Peter Bull, featured the voices of Norman Shelley and pianist and singer Antony Miall and was directed by John Tydeman, later Head of BBC Drama.

Other features quickly followed and, in 1981, he co-wrote (with Michael Bakewell) BBC Radio 4's adaptation of Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings He also adapted C. S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia and Mervyn Peake's Titus Groan and Gormenghast for Radio 4, receiving a Sony Radio Award for his Peake plays in 1985. He returned to Peake's writings in 2011 with The History of Titus Groan, a cycle of six one-hour plays for BBC Radio 4's 'Classic Serial' based on Titus Groan, Gormenghast, Titus Alone and Maeve Gilmore's Titus Awakes. Produced by Jeremy Mortimer, the series began transmission on Sunday 10 July with a cast headed by David Warner, Luke Treadaway and Miranda Richardson, and won the BBC Audio Drama Award 2012 for Best Adaptation.

Other major radio dramatizations by Sibley include: John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress; Tolkien's Tales from the Perilous Realm; Roald Dahl's Danny, the Champion of the World; Lucy M. Boston's The Children of Green Knowe, Laurens van der Post's The Night of the New Moon, J. B. Priestley's The Thirty-First of June, Jeffrey Archer's A Matter of Honour, Frank Baker's Miss Hargreaves, James Thurber's The Wonderful O, two series of Ray Bradbury's Tales of the Bizarre, Ray Bradbury's The Illustrated Man and a six-part dramatization of T H White's The Once and Future King starring David Warner as Merlyn. 2016 saw the broadcasting by the BBC of his two-part dramatization of Richard Adams's Watership Down and the J. G. Ballard short story Track 12.

His original radio plays include: ...And Yet Another Partridge in a Pear Tree, starring Penelope Keith, C. S. Lewis: Northern Irishman, and It's Too Late Now.

He was a contributor to and then regular presenter of the former BBC Radio 4 arts programme Kaleidoscope and the BBC World Service arts magazine, Meridian. He also presented the Radio 4 film programme, Talking Pictures, was a regular presenter of The Afternoon Shift and chaired the radio panel games Break A Leg and Screen Test.

He has also contributed to Radio 4's Last Word, Brief Lives, A Good Read, The Radio 2 Arts Show and Radio 3's Night Waves. He also presented several series of the BBC television programme, First Light.

His features and documentaries for Radio 4, Radio 2 and the World Service have included programmes devoted to Sherlock Holmes, Jack the Ripper, Robin Hood, Dracula, Peter Pan, Winnie-the-Pooh, Alice in Wonderland and the life and work of Ambrose Bierce, Robert Raikes, Harry Houdini, Terry Pratchett, George Orwell, Roald Dahl, Ray Bradbury, Richmal Crompton, Fred Zinnemann, Frank Capra, Jim Henson, Paco Pena, James Galway, Marcel Marceau, Bob Hoskins and Julie Andrews.

Key series for BBC Radio 2, made in collaboration with producer Malcolm Prince, include Ain't No Mickey Mouse Business, Disney's Women, David Puttnam's Century of Cinema, Ain't No Mickey Mouse Music, No Place Life Home: A Judy Garland Story, Showman and Starmaker: A Tribute to Bill Cotton and, in Autumn 2010, a series of eight documentaries on aspects of The Musical that he both compiled and wrote. His interviewees for these series included Michael Caine, Richard Attenborough, Angela Lansbury, Margaret O'Brien, Dirk Bogarde, Roy E Disney, Robert Wise, Ken Annakin, Richard Curtis, Richard M Sherman, Leslie Briccusse, Bryan Forbes, Sandy Wilson, Tim Rice, James Rado and Edward Albee. He also wrote and presented a series on the history of film music, The Sound of Movies.

Sibley's book, Shadowlands, was serialized on Radio 2, read by Ian Richardson in what was one of the actor's last pieces of broadcast work.

Gillian Reynolds, then The Daily Telegraph radio critic, gave him the accolade "magician of the airwaves".

In 1992 Sibley wrote much of the script for Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of Spartacus.

His story introduced a new character, Penguin, inspired by a vintage photograph of A. A. Milne and his young son, Christopher Robin, playing with the original teddy bear who became Winnie-the-Pooh and a plush toy penguin. The same month saw the publication of Taschen Books' ''The Walt Disney Film Archives. The Animated Movies 1921–1968'' to which he contributed five critical essays on Disney films.

His Christmas book, Joseph and the Three Gifts, published in September 2019, was described by Frank Cottrell Boyce as "a little masterpiece". The book was abridged and serialised (by the author) for broadcast in the Christmas week of 2021 on BBC Radio 4, where it was read by Alex Jennings and directed by Martin Jarvis.

In 2021, his fable Osric the Extraordinary Owl, illustrated by his friend Pauline Baynes, was privately published in a limited edition. He is currently editing a book of the letters of Walt Disney.

Treaty of Rome (1924)

The Treaty of Rome was agreed on 27 January 1924, when Italy and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes agreed that Fiume would be annexed to Italy as the Province of Fiume, and the town of Sušak would be part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.

Fiume and Sušak would have a joint administration of the port facilities. Both towns are now in the city of Rijeka, Croatia.

Background

After Fiume was under Gabriele D'Annunzio's Italian Regency of Carnaro, the Treaty of Rapallo (1920) created the independent Free State of Fiume, which was immediately recognised by other states, including the United States, France and the United Kingdom. The state survived only one year de facto and four years de jure. The joint administration of the port was never created.

On 24 April 1921, the first general elections for its parliament occurred, and it elected President Riccardo Zanella, the leader of the Autonomist Fiuman Movement. On 3 March 1922, a movement directed by the fascist deputy Francesco Giunta forced Zanella to resign. On 17 September 1923, Gaetano Giardino, an Italian general, was sent by Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini with the task of restoring public order. In the meantime, negotiations started between Italy and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes to dissolve the Free State of Fiume.

All parties ratified the agreement in Rome on 22 February 1924, and it became effective the same day. It was registered in the League of Nations Treaty Series on 7 April 1924.

Terms
The Treaty of Rome revoked parts of the Treaty of Rapallo. The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes asserted its sovereignty over the delta of the Rječina River, including the seaport of Sušak (Porto Barros) and the north of Fiume County. Italy was given the city of Fiume, some surrounding land and a coastal corridor to connect it to the Italian mainland.

Aftermath
The exact definition of the borders were the object of a joint commission, whose results were agreed upon on 20 July 1925 in the Treaty of Nettuno.

Following the upheaval of the Second World War, Tito's Yugoslavia annexed Fiume, putting an end to the provisions of the Treaty of Rome.

Nowadays, its former territory roughly corresponds to Primorje-Gorski Kotar County in Croatia.
