David Frith

David Edward John Frith (born 16 March 1937) is a cricket writer and historian. Cricinfo describes him as "an author, historian, and founding editor of Wisden Cricket Monthly".

Life and career
David Frith was born in Gloucester Terrace in London, not far from Lord's, on 16 March 1937.

The family resided in Rayners Lane, Harrow, whilst he attended Roxbourne School. In 1949, he emigrated with his family to Australia, arriving in Sydney aboard the RMS Orion on 25 February 1949.

After leaving Canterbury Boys' High School on 15 February 1954 he started his first job as a copy-boy for The Daily Mirror but left after two months to join the Commonwealth Bank where he was posted to the Cronulla branch. He played his early cricket for the famous St George club and then Paddington before returning to England in 1964.

Return to Sydney
After the death of his mother in May 1971, family commitments led Frith to move back to Sydney. Here he sought, to no avail, a full-time cricket related post but, thanks to a recommendation by Jack Fingleton, he did secure some work with the Australian News and Information Bureau. The return to Australia would prove to be short-lived and he moved back to the United Kingdom departing aboard the TSS Fairstar on 19 March 1972.

Magazine editing
Commencing with the November 1972 issue, he succeeded Tony Pawson as deputy editor of The Cricketer before becoming editor from the March 1973 issue. He founded Wisden Cricket Monthly and edited it from June 1979 to February 1996. In 1988 Frith won the Sports Council's British Sports Journalism award as Magazine Sports Writer of the Year.

Specialising in Ashes Test match history, Frith has written dozens of books on both cricket in modern times and cricket of the past. His major works include My Dear Victorious Stod (a biography of A. E. Stoddart), a lavishly illustrated history of England versus Australia, Silence of the Heart (on cricket's suicides, an expansion of his earlier book By His Own Hand), The Fast Men, The Slow Men (about fast bowlers and spinners respectively), Pageant of Cricket (the only cricket book to have as many as 2000 pictures), Caught England, Bowled Australia (autobiography), The Trailblazers (the first English tour of Australia, in 1861–62), The Archie Jackson Story (biography) and Bodyline Autopsy. The catalogue of his vast collection ran to 1100 pages. He has also been involved in producing cricket videos, which have been extremely successful.

Frith famously commented that India should withdraw from the World Cup if they didn't improve. When they won it in 1983 he was pleased to (literally) eat his words, with the help of some red wine, claiming that he had helped spur India to victory.

In association with the National Film and Television Archive, he presented an annual archive cricket film evening at the National Film Theatre in London for 30 years.

In 2003 Frith became the first author to win the Cricket Society's Book of the Year award three times, and was also a finalist in the William Hill Sports Book awards for his Bodyline Autopsy. The book also won Wisden's book of the year and, in January 2010, it won Cricketweb's award for "book of the decade". In his assessment, Martin Chandler wrote:

"Autopsy" is a magnificent book possessing a vibrancy and objectivity that when I first read it I found quite remarkable. It is, without question, the CW "Book of the Decade" and were there any prospect of my being around to collect I would certainly place a large wager on whoever is writing this feature in 90 years time confirming it as CW "Book of the Century".

His co-written history of the Australian Cricket Board won the Australian Cricket Society book award in 2007, and in 2011 Frith was given the Cricket Society's Ian Jackson Award for Distinguished Services to Cricket.

He has been honorary vice-president of the Cricket Memorabilia Society since its foundation in 1987.

In 2013 he was awarded honorary life membership of the Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians, and wrote a further book, Guildford's Cricket Story, which revealed his adopted home town's unique claims to being the 'cradle of cricket'.

Vulcan salute

The Vulcan salute is a hand gesture popularized by the 1960s television series Star Trek. It consists of a raised hand with the palm forward and the thumb extended, while the fingers are parted between the middle and ring finger. The gesture was devised by Star Trek actor Leonard Nimoy as a salute for the alien Vulcan species, and is popular within the Science fiction fandom and nerd culture. The blessing phrase "live long and prosper" (written by Theodore Sturgeon) is frequently spoken alongside it.

Background
The Vulcan "salute" was devised by Leonard Nimoy, who portrayed the half Vulcan character Mr. Spock on the original Star Trek television series. A 1968 New York Times interview described the gesture as a "double-fingered version of Churchill's victory sign". Nimoy said in that interview that he "decided that the Vulcans were a "hand-oriented" people".

The greeting first appeared in 1967 on the Star Trek second-season opening episode, "Amok Time". Among other things, the gesture is known for being difficult for certain people to do properly without practice or the covert pre-positioning of the fingers. Actors on the original show reportedly had to position their fingers off-screen with the other hand before raising their hand into frame. This difficulty may stem from variations in individuals' manual dexterity. It is parodied in the 1996 motion picture Star Trek: First Contact when Zefram Cochrane, upon meeting a Vulcan for the first time in human history, is unable to return the gesture and instead shakes the Vulcan's hand.

In his 1975 autobiography I Am Not Spock, Nimoy, who was Jewish, wrote that he based it on the Priestly Blessing performed by Jewish Kohanim with both hands, thumb to thumb in this same position, representing the Hebrew letter Shin (ש in Square Script, or Paleo Hebrew 𐤔), which has three upward strokes similar to the position of the thumb and fingers in the gesture. The letter Shin here stands for El Shaddai, meaning "Almighty (God)", as well as for Shekhinah and Shalom. Nimoy wrote that when he was a child, his grandfather took him to an Orthodox synagogue, where he saw the blessing performed and was impressed by it.

Others often greeted Nimoy with the Vulcan sign, which became so well known that in June 2014 its emoji character was added to version 7 of the Unicode standard as. (The emoji's Common Locale Data Repository annotation has American English short name "vulcan salute" and keywords "finger", "hand", "spock" and "vulcan" [all lowercase].)

U.S. President Barack Obama referenced the Vulcan salutation in his statement on Nimoy's death, calling it "the universal sign for 'Live long and prosper'". The following day, NASA astronaut Terry W. Virts posted a photo on his Twitter feed from the International Space Station showing the salutation (with the Earth in the background) as the ISS passed over where Nimoy grew up – Boston, Massachusetts, United States.

"Live long and prosper"
The accompanying spoken blessing, "live long and prosper", was also first used in "Amok Time" alongside the salute. The phrase was scripted by Theodore Sturgeon. A Vulcan translation – "dif-tor heh smusma" – was introduced in the 1979 film Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The less-well-known reply is "peace and long life", though it is sometimes said first, with "live long and prosper" as the reply. The phrase has been seen abbreviated "LLAP".

Similar blessings
An ancient Egyptian blessing "ankh wedja seneb", while its verbatim translation is uncertain, uses the three symbols "life", "prosperity" and "health"; it has been translated as "may he live, be prosperous, be healthy".

The New International Version of the Bible, Deuteronomy 5:33 (5:30 in the Masoretic Text), includes the phrase "live and prosper" as part of Moses' admonitions to the Hebrew people prior to entering Canaan; other translations include the notion of long life as well.

William Shakespeare's 1594 Romeo and Juliet contains the line, "Live and be prosperous: and farewell good fellow", spoken by Romeo to Balthasar, his friend and servant.

The benediction "live and prosper" is attributed to the 18th-century organized crime figure Jonathan Wild in his 1725 biography written by "H.D.", possibly a pseudonym for Daniel Defoe.

In Trilby by George du Maurier, published in 1894, a description of an art student ends with the sentence, "May he live long and prosper!"

The phrase is attributed to Stephen Crane by Willa Cather in her essay "When I Knew Stephen Crane", first published in 1900: "You have to have the itch of the thing in your fingers, and if you haven't,—well, you're damned lucky, and you'll live long and prosper, that's all."

Legacy/Retrospective views
I should preface by saying I definitely lack the expertise to contribute here, however it seems a glaring omission that there is no section dedicated to his legacy and to later and modern day views on him. Regardless of ones specific opinion of him, he's clearly a significant historic figure. So why does the commentary suddenly end with his death? It would be fascinating to be able to read about which of his inventions and methods persisted and which were abandoned. Which were proven scientific and which were proven to be snake oil. And other lasting commentaries on his legacy (i.e. high rates of circumcision in the USA still today). 176.251.175.52 (talk) 16:53, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Reference 4 is to an article about fight club
I was looking to see the evidence about corn flakes being an anaphrodesiac because I heard that it’s an unsubstantiated rumour. On this article, there seems to be a source for it but it makes no sense: the linked fight club reference is nothing to do with Kellogg, corn flakes or anaphrodesiacs Whereismytardis (talk) 06:57, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

Reason for Will Kellogg's fame
This article says John's brother Will Kellogg is best known for inventing corn flakes. It should say that he is best known for developing the Kellogg's Cereal Company. Rollo August (talk) 10:49, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

Proof that he circumcised himself at 37? Can't find it in reference?
''He circumcised himself at age 37. His methods for the "rehabilitation" of masturbation addicts included measures up to the point of cutting off part of the genitals, without anesthetic, on both sexes; he wrote men who did should be circumcised and women that did should have carbolic acid applied to their clitoral glans.[46]

It seems that Plain facts for old and young, published in 1879, was published originally in 1877 as Plain facts about sexual life.

Plain facts for old and young 1879 edition on Project Gutenberg.

Reference 46 gives an 1888 publishing date with Ayer Publishing as the for Plain facts for old and young. He was born in 1852.

1888 - 1852 = 36

 * Another trap set is called an "Anatomical Museum." The anatomical part of the exhibition consists chiefly of models and figures calculated to excite the passions to the highest pitch. At stated intervals the proprietor, who is always a "doctor," and by preference a German, delivers lectures on the effects of masturbation, in which he resorts to every device to excite the fears and exaggerate the symptoms of his hearers, who are mostly young men and boys. Thus he prepares his victim, and when he once gets him within his clutches, he does not let him go until he has robbed him of his last dollar.
 * This text—delivers lectures on the effects of masturbation, in which he resorts to every device to excite the fears and exaggerate the symptoms of his hearers—in Plain facts for old and young puts the whole section on Masturbation Prevention into question.

The citation for this seems to cite the Project Gutenberg Plain Facts for Old and Young (1881 edition), but the quote given in the citation doesn't seem to actually exist beyond the first sentence, is the quote fabricated or is the continuation actually derived from another source? ペゴボド同士 (Pegboard) (talk) 05:44, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

 * I'm specifically talking about the section that claims it to be a misconception. ペゴボド同士 (Pegboard) (talk) 13:22, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
 * The Misconception section was misleading and contradicted sources that, earlier in the article, establish Kellogg was a proponent of a plain diet as an antimasturbatory measure, as well as using circumcision and application of acid to the clitoris as deterrents for masturbation in male and female children. I have removed that section as it was misleading and inaccurate. Yortman1 (talk) 02:03, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

Misconceptions Section needs update or removal?
The current writing in this section, and choice of quotation from "Plain Facts for Old and Young", could lead readers to a misleading conclusion about Kellogg's stance on both Corn flakes and Circumcision.

'''First, on Corn Flakes. '''

The current section reads: "Several popular misconceptions falsely attribute various cultural practices, inventions, and historical events to Kellogg. These include false claims that Kellogg's corn flakes were invented or marketed to prevent masturbation. In reality, they were promoted to prevent indigestion."

However, From "Abnormal Psychology 2nd Edition" (Already cited earlier in the article):

"It is a little-known fact that J. H. Kellogg invented his breakfast cereals as part of his mission to discourage sexuality in young people; he hoped that feeding them bland food in the morning would decrease their excitability."

And a primary source, From ""Plain Facts for Old and Young" (pg 302 from the copy available through National Library of Medicine) In the section relating to cures for masturbation("Unchastity"):

"Discard all stimulating food. Under this head must be included spices, pepper, ginger, mustard, cinnamon, cloves, essences, all condiments, pickles, etc.,"

Second, on Circumcision:

The current section and quotation simply mention that he doubted whether it was "salutary for all men." While this is true, it could leave the reader with the false impression that Kellogg was against the practice, when in his writing he has promoted circumcision of "small boys" as an intentionally painful deterrent for masturbation.

From ""Plain Facts for Old and Young": Regarding cures for "Self-abuse" (pg 295):

"A remedy which is almost always successful in small boys is circumcision, especially when there is any degree of phimosis. The operation should be performed by a surgeon without administering an anæsthetic, as the brief pain attending the operation will have a salutary effect upon the mind, especially if it be connected with the idea of punishment, as it may well be in some cases. The soreness which continues for several weeks interrupts the practice, and if it had not previously become too firmly fixed, it may be forgotten and not resumed."

He also writes on pg. 298: "In Females, the author has found the application of pure carbolic acid to the clitoris an excellent means of allaying the abnormal excitement, and preventing the recurrence of the practice..."

@Catfurball Perhaps, we could retain an improved section on misconceptions, but add a section for "Views on Masturbation"? As He has written quite extensively about the topic. Yortman1 (talk) 07:52, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * you have my permission to improve this section. Catfurball (talk) 18:54, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I second that emotion. -- Valjean (talk) ( PING me ) 19:05, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Also on pp.194–195 of Plain facts for old and young he writes:
 * "In males, one of the most general physical causes of sexual excitement is constipation. The vesicula seminalis, in which the seminal fluid is stored, is situated, as will be remembered, at the base of the bladder. It thus has the bladder in front and the rectum behind. In constipation, the rectum becomes distended with feces -- effete matter which should have been promptly evacuated, instead of being allowed to accumulate. This hardened mass presses upon the parts most intimately concerned in the sexual act, causing excessive local excitement. When this condition is chronic, as in habitual constipation, the unnatural excitement often leads to most serious results. One of these is the production of a horrible disease, satyriasis, the nature of which has been previously indicated.
 * Constipation in females has the same tendency, though the dangers are not quite so great. The irritation is sufficient, however, to lead to excitement of the passions."
 * His work to develop diets to avert constipation should be viewed in light of this. The "Misconceptions" section sounds in its tone like some kind of apologist propaganda, and needs rewriting. — OttoMäkelä (talk) 22:14, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Problem Source
I just removed the claim that Kellogg opposed circumcision. The quoted wording does not appear in the source. The citation contains a screenshot again including the wording that does not appear in the source. I thus suspect it was deliberately fabricated. I have screenshots and this can be verified by searching the source which is in the public domain. Robert Brockway (talk) 08:40, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Please disregard. I've found a second source and there seems to be something wrong with the Project Gutenberg copy.  An entire paragraph is missing. Robert Brockway (talk) 09:13, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Disputed "misconceptions" section
User:Captainthomas insists on removing the text, which states that the belief that Kellogg was responsible for popularizing male circumcision is a misconception. This journal source states that it was Lewis Sayre, not Kellogg, who popularized male circumcision in the US. Kellogg, in "Plain Facts" questions whether routine circumcision did more harm than good, though as noted in the "Misconceptions Section needs update or removal?" section above he did recommend it for "Self-abuse." OhNo itsJamie Talk 16:36, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Why can't it be that both Sayre and Kellogg popularized it? As I understand it, so did Remondino. While Kellogg is a popular person, he certainly does not deserve all of the credit.  However, the current state of this Wikipedia article seems to suggest that Kellogg was against it when I do not see any evidence of such a thing beyond the reference to meatal stenosis.  Maybe this needs to be clarified that Kellogg was not a proponent of *routine infant circumcision* but promoted it for older individuals who had a habit of masturbation? Johnadkison (talk) 05:08, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

the section on misconceptions and the section of opinions on health
As others have stated before me, the section on popular misconceptions has once again been changed to state that Kellogg opposed circumcision, 'quoting' from the text that it's salutary benefit is very doubtful.However, the cited text itself from Gutenberg reads completely differently. There is no:
 * ...It is doubtful, however, whether as much harm as good does not result from circumcision, since it has been shown by extensive observation among the Jews that very great contraction of the meatus, or external orifice of the urethra, is exceedingly common among them, being undoubtedly the result of the prolonged irritation and subsequent cicatricial contraction resulting from circumcision in infant"

This is found nowhere in the cited Gutenberg source "Plain Facts for the Old and Young", and looking on Reddit, might be traced to a single bad actor who seemed to view the entire work by Kellogg as satirical, who's comments were downvoted and who's account is now deleted.

Reading through Kellogg's own text, it seems very clear that this Wikipedia article greatly glosses over several of his opinions on sexual health in boys and girls... Where are the sections relating to his opinions on 'self-abuse', or his confessed stories on treating "sinful indulgence" in young women sent to his sanitarium?

I think that this article might do well to receive just about a full edit and then be locked down. There are multiple Talks above this one relating to this article being edited to fix this 'misconception' section, and yet here it is again. It's also very clear that the "Kellogg's views on Health" section seems to omit his opinions on sexual health and take an almost favourable stance on the man.

There's likely a single or small group of users continually editing the article with false quotes and malicious citations. . Cvewatson (talk) 00:44, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Additionally, someone above has said that there is a whole missing paragraph from the text on Gutenberg — okay, where is a source corroborating this? If Gutenberg is incorrect and missing information, then why is it still cited?
 * There is a link to Google Books but there doesn't seem to be readable text there at all. Cvewatson (talk) 01:20, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I see now that someone linked an archive.org source in an above topic. Perhaps I was slightly too hasty: but it's very confusing. I'd recommend the citation [37] just be removed in it's entirety if Gutenberg is incorrect and missing a paragraph, I think it's caused me and multiple other users a headache when Gutenberg mismatches the quoted text from archive.org, and yet is still a citation within the Misconceptions section.
 * I still say there should be more in this article relating to his opinions on Female Genital Mutilation and Chastity, however, and I do think some of the language in the "Views on Health" section is strange. Cvewatson (talk) 01:55, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

My attention was brought to this page by another where we seem to contradict ourselves (see Talk:Castration anxiety) and concur that the misconceptions section needs work. It currently appears to whitewash Kellogg's views. Without a doubt he advocated circumcision in some cases to cure boys of self abuse, and advocated doing so without anaesthetic. His earlier works also speak well of circumcision without the later caveat found in his 1888 work. Laderman & Leon repeat what we say on this page is a misconception, in a suitably reliable source. They cite Gollaher (2000) who provides some poorly referenced but genuine primary sourced material saying, inter alia, "A remedy which is almost always successful in small boys is circumcision, especially when there is any degree of phimosis" (Kellogg, 1884:114). So Kellogg did advocate circumcision, despite the quote found on our Kellogg page. But the Kellogg page adds a caveat from Kellogg. This caveat is in the 1888 edition but not in the 1879, 1881 or 1884 editions. In that later edition he says (Kellogg, 1888:107). I have just added a verification failed to the page, which links to, and cites the 1881 edition but quotes the 1888 edition.So Kellogg certainly appeared to be pro circumcision as a masturbation cure, but later came to oppose the general circumcision of the whole population. We need something more nuanced here. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:29, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello. I've been horribly addicted to this for the last few days, clocking up more than ten hours each time. So, no doubt I'll be in need of some kind of medical attention soon enough.

I'm interested in comedy, so I've been making lots of submissions along those lines. I've already started logging the more substantial contributions at my page.

I'm a trained feature journalist but, due to health problems, I'm concentrating on developing a comedy script/sketch writing career. I've been submitting gags to the BBC and I am gradually building up contacts and weaving a supportive web.

Next week I'll be entering this competition, at which point my genius will be recognised, gorgeous maiden will swoon at my knees and I'll live happily ever after in a mansion made entirely out of caviar - an article, damn it, that I have now just had to edit having seen it.

This is insane. It's 3.30am here in London, where I live... --bodnotbod 02:26, May 2, 2004 (UTC)

Hyphenator
What a pleasant surprise to find a site like this that *welcomes* newcomers instead of hazing them.

My professional background is in writing, editing and administration for non-profit organizations. I currently do editing and desktop publishing for my church newsletter. I am also an avid musician, now studying the trumpet.

I live in Pasadena, Calif., with my wife and 12-year-old son.

Once I get acclimated, I will share an idea for expanding the effective workforce of open-source enterprises. It turns on the fact that zillions of people (like me) on a fixed disability income are looking for practical ways to contribute to a cause outside themselves. People with the right skills might even be valuable enough to earn a little extra money (not too much) to help cover medications and doctor bills.

Hyphenator 04:11, 3 May 2004 (UTC)

 * Hello. I have profound health problems.  Whether they count as a disability is something I'm trying to establish.  For the moment, as far as the British welfare state is concerned, they do not.  But I agree with you: the internet gives those with a disability or chronic health problem a new range of opportunities.

 * I'll tell you something a little strange: Every day I have an SMS sent to my mobile phone with a horoscope.  I don't believe in them but it's free.  Last night's message - which I read just ten minutes ago -  was "You are a small person in a big world - search for a cause outside yourself", and then I come here and see your second sentence.  Rather spooky  ;o)  --bodnotbod 14:48, May 3, 2004 (UTC)

Hello, I'm from Canada. My areas of speciality are mostly in the computer field. My particular passion is technical aspects of the X86 processor family (Intel, AMD, etc.). I am currently engaged in trying to clean up the overlap between the various articles devoted to this microprocessor family. For example, currently there is a lot of overlap between the articles in X86 and IA-32. What I will attempt to do is remove some of this overlap and have one article link to the other article.

Wikipedia has got to be one of the coolest ideas ever. As an Open Source software developer at Middlebury College by day and a student of life (and the rest of the world) by night, Wikipedia fits right in with my goals of open knowledge for all. So far I have been adding little bits on local topics but plan to add more as I see holes that I can fill. I have a degree in physics and have studied world history and lots of other stuff during my liberal arts education. Maybe that can be put to some good use here. Adamfranco 00:34, 9 May 2004 (UTC)

Hi, I'm an Italian with interest in many things, but mostly nerd classics: computer (from programming to videogames), manga & comics & anime, sci-fi, fantasy, cinema and the like. I'm also an avid reader, in particular of J.R.R. Tolkien, Terry Brooks and George R.R. Martin) and of old sci-fi (I have read a real LOT of Jack Vance and Philip K. Dick). I am almost alway listening to music, all genres but specifically I'm a fan of Garbage.

Ciao Viruzzo
It sounds like we have similar interests! I'm a professional singer and my partner is Italian, so I have intesified my studies of the Italian language (finding it harder than I would've expected!). I'm also a big fan of SciFi and Fantasy - especially Ursula LeGuin, Robin Hobb/Megan Lindholm, and lots of others. I'm not sure if I like Garbage but they are from my home town (Madison, Wisconsin, USA)! divadiane 08:12, 14 May 2004 (UTC)

I'm a profession singer, my specialization being Early Music (Baroque and Medieval music mostly, but also Renaissance) and contemporary music. I've already done the tutorial, but I think I'll have to spend some more time with it before I really know all the ins and outs. I'm interested in honing some writing and research skills, hoping that this will help.divadiane 08:20, 14 May 2004 (UTC)

tslack2000
My name is Tyler Slack and I'm looking forward to being a contributor to Wikipedia. I'll most likely start out slow by editing some broken links and adding to a stub or two. I'm sure before long I'll be creating pages and weighing in on the controversial stuff on the Talk pages. What intrigues me about this project is the unbelievable depth of it! A link to just about anything with links from there and links from there and it just continues! The knowledge to be gained is unfathomable. I'm sure I'll learn a lot as I do my best to contribute.

I learned about wicki from my brother several years ago. When I stumbled upon Wikipedia during a google search I was already familiar with the markup due to said introduction. I can already tell this is going to be a bad addiction as several others have stated. Everyone has to have at least one bad habit to kick!

I wonder if it's okay for someone who's been around for almost four months to list here.. Otherwise I'll have a complex for never having done so. (I never knew about the page until now.) =)

I first came here from Google, looking for the answer to why Lady Louise Windsor is styled that way. I got instantly hooked. For a few weeks, maybe, I was a reader. But who, in the long run, can keep their hands away from editing?

I read about Wikipedia in an article (Newsweek I think) and decided to check it out. I took the advice to "be bold" to heart and jumped right in doing some work on the Buffy pages since I am a big fan of the show. Then, I headed over to the "most wanted articles" page and started in. I have been selecting subjects that I can research on the Web and that interest me. So far, I have done some biographies and a couple of geography articles. I don't really have a specialty, but I promise to stay away from math and science which are my weak areas. Dyoung 03:04, 16 May 2004 (UTC)

Greetings Wikipedians. I hail from the island of Britain and I have been using Wikipedia for quite some time now, usually when I am bored and fancy learning something new and different, and Wikipedia is excellent for this. My interests are quite numerable and I like to think I know a few bits and bobs from a wide variety of subjects. I am a Psychology student and I have studied history, classic's and archaeology in the past.

I have already made a few minor edits here and there, and I am looking forward to adding more to this brilliant project.

KyleFr635
Hi, y'all. My name is Brandon and I'm 16 years old. I guess that makes me the baby here. I read all the intros. and the youngest person besides me is a senior in high school, who by now is probably graduated. And since I will only be a junior next year, I take it that I'm the youngest.

Anyway, I stumbled across this site about a month ago trying to find an online free encyclopedia. And what do you know, I found this. The work you guys do is excellent! Being a very curious person by nature, this site is perfect for me; I can learn something new every day.

Being only 16, compared to you guys, my knowledge base is probably not much. But I like to think that I know a good bit about some things. I'm an avid history buff and follow world politics as if I were addicted. I am fluent in English, Spanish, and French. I am in the process of learning Esperanto and Chinese (Mandarin). I play the piano, trumpet, and classical guitar and I know a good bit about religion.

If any of you are wondering how an American 16 year-old knows all these things and has such wide interests, well, the answer is that I'm not American in the typical sense. While my family isn't foreigners (we're African-Americans), I was homeschooled for a good chunk of my educational experience.

Anyways, I'm talking too much. It was nice to meet you all. Thank you for taking the time to contribute to such a worthy cause as this. Really.

Hope to be contributing soon,

Brandon

Wonderful Project!
Hello Wikipedians,

I stumbled various times over the Wikipedia-project in magazines (such as DER SPIEGEL) and Internet newspapers. No I finally decided to join in. I don't know how much I can contribute in the near future, but I will surely do later!

I'm at the age of 36, live in Germany and still being a student. I studied mechanical engineering and will finish my diploma during the next weeks. I am interested in all kinds of news (a news junkie, really!) and even more very interested in any kind of dynamic development - just like this. My interests - apart from mechanical engineering (physics and stuff) - are philosophy, sociology, psychology and the like. I love to think about, how things relate to one another. My English may not be the best, so that is for sure one point to be fixed in future (concerning my articles). I have decided deliberately to contribute to the English version, firstly.

I hope we will have some fun!

I read about Wikipedia in Business Week (31 May). I've spent many hours wandering around writing at Monetary reform and links from it. Also visited and wrote on Political platform.

The DMOZ directory, Google itself, and Wikipedia, are attempting to build universal thinking/research tools for the web. I suppose the forthcoming semantic web is doing the same from the ground up.

"Getting a handle" on the web as a library, is the task. I believe we all owe it to each other and ourselves to try to do as much of the task as possible.

My interest beyond tools like Wikipedia is mainly money and money systems and how to make them turn political democracy into economic democracy.

Two daunting interests. I'll be dead before much progress may be seen. Still the progress made by others so far is remarkable.

I once had a teacher who said there is no upper limit to complexity in nature -- hence complexity in knowledge, thought and language. Yet problems must be solved. And they are -- every day.

I try to offer ideas at [] my own domain. But, large systems like Wikipedia and dmoz and discussion forums are perhaps better places to do this.

Hello. My name is Jason Hunt. I'm 23, I live in Redlands, California and I'm studying computer science at California State University, San Bernardino. I've been lurking around here for a month or so but signed up a few days ago to join in the fun. I've been mostly editing music pages for the bands I know a lot about and reading up on those I don't. I can't seem to remember how I first found this site but one of my Humanities professors linked to it for the articles on Thomas Samuel Kuhn (ohh, so that was who he was referring to :p) and casuistry. So there you have it, even professors use this thing!

Hello everybody, my name is Todd, and I have a problem. I'm addicted to knowledge. Anything in the liberal arts and even applied and theoretical sciences can hold my attention. If it weren't for the need to pay for college, I'd be a student forever. Speaking of which, I'm a political science/international relations and Third World studies double major with a minor in economics at the University of California at San Diego. Since those fields are what I know the most about, I'll probably be spending an inordinate amount of time in the social sciences section of Wikipedia... more likely copy editing than contributing.

I have to say I admire Wikipedia's core concepts... once I find gainful part-time employment (I've got many years of schooling left) I'll probably be donating...

Was Jack a Cigarette Smoker On The QT?
I thought he claimed that he was against smoking, but recently I read an interesting on-line article entitled "Sheriff John Rovick Was No Pee-Wee Herman" by Richard Stellar dated October 8, 2012 that surprised me, health stuff & all. The article was firstly a tribute to "Sheriff John", who had a very popular children's TV program in the Los Angeles area in the 1950/60ties, & who had recently died.

But then Mr. Stellar went into telling of his own time on the "Mr. Wishbone" kids' show (which ran on the same Los Angeles tv station as Jack LaLanne's), and that Mr. W. & Jack shared the same studio. I won't go into details of the incident, but you can easily read about it on-line if you wish. According to LA TV archives, to attach a possible date to the incident, the Mr. Wishbone's show started circa 1965, with his morning show running a few hours prior to Jack's.70.36.177.253 (talk) 08:32, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

More LaLanne Hyperbole?
Since "No Original Research" does not apply to the Talk Page...

It's been my contention that much of Jack LaLanne's "Back-Story", up-lifting as it was, was self-created for publicity purposes at the time he went "National TV" in Los Angeles back in late 1958. And that includes the Bragg/LaLanne "meet-up" that allegedly turned Jack's life around at age 15.

I recently ran across the following from the photo/print article on Jack LaLanne in "Newsweek" (which weekly magazine seemed to be a competitor of the-also-weekly-"Time"-magazine in its day), entitled "Helpmate for Herenow" (reference to Jack's oft-told joke about Billy Graham being in charge of the "Hereafter"), issue July 25, 1960:

"San Francisco-born, LaLanne became a convert to fat-free living in his teens, opened ten gyms in Northern California at 19, got into TV in 1951."

Georgia Aquarium

Georgia Aquarium is a public aquarium in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. The aquarium exhibits hundreds of species and thousands of animals across its seven major galleries, all of which reside in more than 11 e6USgal of water. It was the largest aquarium in the world from its opening in 2005 until 2012 when it was surpassed by the S.E.A. Aquarium in Singapore and the Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in China; the Georgia Aquarium remains the largest aquarium in the United States and the sixth largest in the world.

A $250 million donation from the foundation of local businessman and The Home Depot co-founder Bernard Marcus provided the bulk of the funding needed to build and stock the new facility.

The aquarium's notable specimens include whale sharks, beluga whales, California sea lions, bottlenose dolphins, manta rays, sea otters, and tiger sharks. Its centerpiece is a 6.3 e6USgal whale shark exhibit.

History
In November 2001, Bernard Marcus announced his vision of presenting Atlanta with an aquarium that would encourage both education and economic growth. After visiting 56 aquariums in 13 countries with his wife, Billi Marcus, he donated $250 million toward what was to become Georgia Aquarium. Corporate contributions totaling an additional $40 million allowed the aquarium to open debt-free.

Founding president and executive director of the aquarium, Jeff Swanagan, was brought in as the aquarium's first employee in 2002 and served until 2008. He is largely credited with the creation of the aquarium, from the design of the structure to the procurement of animals for the exhibits.

The aquarium is in Downtown Atlanta on land donated by The Coca-Cola Company, just north of Centennial Olympic Park. It has a blue metal-and-glass exterior. The world's largest when it opened in November 2005, the aquarium originally encompassed 550000 sqft of covered space, and its exhibits held 8 e6USgal of fresh and saltwater. Subsequent additions to the collection and redesigns of some habitats have increased the total water held to 11 e6USgal. 20,000 pounds of frozen food for the animals on exhibit is kept hidden from visitors in a stainless steel commissary at -20 F.

After 27 months of construction, the aquarium opened with 60 animal habitats. Though the non-profit aquarium's admission charges are among the highest in the United States, attendance has far exceeded expectations, with 1 million visitors in the first 100 days, 3 million by August 2006, 5 million by May 2007, and 10 million by June 2009. The Aquarium is part of the Smithsonian Affiliations program and the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.

In 2019, the show The Aquarium premiered on Animal Planet, documenting animal care and conservation work at the Georgia Aquarium. After the show ended following a two-season, twenty-episode run, Discovery+ began streaming the series, and the Georgia Aquarium subsequently partnered with the service to produce more content about animal experiences and conservation.

Whale sharks
The aquarium was designed around a 6.3 million US gallon (24,000 m3) whale shark exhibit, making it the first institution outside of Asia that houses the giant species.

The whale sharks' importation from Taiwan (by air, truck, and boat) had never been attempted previously. They were taken from Taiwan's annual fishing kill quota, under which they would have been eaten had they not been purchased by the aquarium. The aquarium's most famous specimens were four young sharks named Ralph, Norton, Alice, and Trixie, after the primary characters from The Honeymooners. Ralph and Norton died in 2007.

Also in 2007, the aquarium received two new sharks ("Taroko", commemorating Taroko Gorge National Park, and "Yushan" after Taiwan's Jade Mountain) just before a ban on capture of that species took effect. Trixie died after her health declined in 2020. Alice died in 2021.

Manta rays

The aquarium is only one of four sites in the world displaying a manta ray. Nandi, the aquarium's first manta ray, and the first manta ray on display in the country, was accidentally caught in nets protecting the South African coast from sharks. She joined the Ocean Voyager exhibit in 2008. A second, Tallulah, was added in September 2009. A third, Raven, was added in 2010.

Beluga whales
The aquarium has been home to as many as five 11-foot (3 m) beluga whales at once.

Males Nico and Gasper, acquired from an amusement park in Mexico, were joined by three females on breeding loan from the New York Aquarium: Marina, Natasha and Natasha's daughter, Maris. After Gasper and Marina died in 2007, the belugas were transferred to SeaWorld San Antonio, where Nico died in 2009. In 2010, Maris and a new male, Beethoven, were returned to the Georgia Aquarium while Natasha remained with a potential mate in San Antonio. Two young belugas, Grayson (male) and Qinu (female), also from San Antonio, were added in November 2010. Before transferring to the Shedd Aquarium in 2014, Beethoven fathered calves with Maris in 2012 and 2015, neither of which survived. Maris died of a heart defect in 2015. In 2016, Grayson was sent to Shedd Aquarium while SeaWorld Orlando's Aurek and Maple and Shedd Aquarium's Nunavik arrived on loan at Georgia Aquarium. In June 2017, Georgia Aquarium announced that Qinu was pregnant with her first calf, sired by Aurek, and was due in the fall of 2017. In September 2017, Aurek was transferred to Shedd Aquarium on a breeding loan. On November 8, 2017, the Aquarium announced that Qinu's calf had died from complications during birth.

In 2012, the beluga whale Maris gave birth to a female calf. After less than a week, the calf, who was born underweight, died. Although mortality rates of calves born to first-time mothers are extremely high, even in wild populations, Maris's second calf—born on Mother's Day in 2015—would survive less than a month. Maris died in October of the same year, reigniting the debate as to whether the captive beluga breeding program was humane or successful.

On January 14, 2020, the Georgia Aquarium announced that 20-year-old Whisper was pregnant and due to deliver a calf in April. Whisper delivered the calf on May 17 that year.

Exhibits
The aquarium's animals are displayed in seven galleries and exhibits: Tropical Diver, Ocean Voyager, Cold Water Quest, Southern Company River Scout, Dolphin Coast, Truist Pier 225 and Aquanaut Adventure: A Discovery Zone. Each exhibit corresponds to a specific environment.

The Cold Water Quest features animals from the polar and temperate regions of the world and contains most of the mammal species in the Aquarium's collection. This exhibit includes beluga whales in an 800000 USgal habitat, southern sea otters, Japanese spider crabs, weedy sea dragons, two types of puffins, and African penguins.

The largest exhibit, Ocean Voyager, built by the Home Depot, contains 6.3 e6USgal of water and several thousand fish. It measures 284 ft × 126 ft (87 m × 38 m) and the depth ranges between 20 and 30 ft (6.1 and 9.1 m), making it the largest indoor aquatic habitat in the world. This exhibit is designed to feature the life of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System and showcases the Aquarium's whale sharks and manta rays as well as a 100 ft (30 m) underwater acrylic tunnel and one of the world's largest viewing windows.

The Truist Pier 225 gallery holds California sea lions. Among its six animals, individuals named Jupiter and Neptune were rescued in the 2015 mass sea lion stranding in California. This exhibit also offers scheduled presentations about the species.

Dolphin Coast is home to the aquarium's pod of 13 common bottlenose dolphins in a 1.8 million gallon exhibit. This exhibit also features shorebirds such as roseate spoonbills and scarlet ibis.

The Aquanaut Adventure: A Discovery Zone contains several smaller exhibits and multiple hands-on activities, including an augmented reality scavenger hunt using the aquarium's mobile app.

Sharks! Predators of the Deep is the newest gallery to be added to the Georgia Aquarium. It opened on October 23, 2020, and it has a new 20 ft deep tank that has great hammerhead sharks, sand tiger sharks, tiger sharks, silvertip sharks, silky sharks, zebra sharks, and round ribbontail rays. It features a dive cage, where visitors can be submersed in the tank. It has a wading pool where visitors can walk with rays and zebra sharks.

Research and conservation
According to founder Bernard Marcus, the aquarium's conservation and environmental mission are equal in importance to its role as an attraction. Before opening, the aquarium was already working with Georgia Tech and Georgia State University in Atlanta and the University of Georgia in Athens to help save endangered species through education and research programs.

The acquisition of the male beluga whales, previously suffering in an inadequate environment, was hailed by Marcus as a prime example of the type of conservation activities the aquarium should be involved with. Roughly 100 tarpons stranded in a tidal pool at Skidaway Island, off the Georgia coast, were rescued for the collection. Coral used in exhibits at the Aquarium is grown in a collaboration between Georgia Tech and the University of the South Pacific, produced by suspending blocks of pumice over a reef near the village of Tagaqe, Fiji for eight months to allow seaweeds and reef invertebrates to establish colonies.

As of 2016, the Georgia Aquarium stated that it would not be taking whales or dolphins that have been caught in the wild.

In 2019, the Georgia Aquarium began participating in a coral project in conjunction with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and other AZA-accredited facilities. In an effort to save coral from a coral-bleaching disease in the Florida Keys, Georgia Aquarium is housing multiple species of coral at their facility. During the same year, the aquarium temporarily provided housing for the sea turtles of the Georgia Sea Turtle Center, which were evacuated ahead of Hurricane Dorian.

The aquarium is involved in research initiatives that focus on whale sharks in the Yucatán Peninsula, beluga whales in Alaska, penguins in South Africa, manatees in Quintana Roo, Mexico, loggerhead sea turtles on the Georgia coast and spotted eagle rays in Sarasota, Florida. Its newest research project centers on bottle-nose dolphins in the Indian River Lagoon. As permanent residents at the top of the lagoon's food chain, they are indicators of its environmental health. The aquarium is partnering with Florida Atlantic University and the federal government to monitor the health of these animals, and to identify potential threats such as pollution and emerging infectious diseases.

New facilities and programs
In May 2008, the aquarium announced plans to build a $110 million expansion for a new dolphin exhibit. The expansion covers 84000 sqft and contains 1.8 e6USgal of water. Located on the west side of the facility, the exhibit features space for live presentations, observation windows, and opportunities for visitors to interact with animals.

Construction began later in 2008 and was completed in late 2010. During part of the construction, the aquarium's three beluga whales were temporarily relocated to SeaWorld San Antonio. Beluga whales are very sensitive to sound, and while officials had not noted any excessive amounts of stress, it was decided to remove them anyway and eliminate the possibility. Unexpectedly, one of the three belugas, Nico, died at SeaWorld on October 31, 2009. A preliminary necropsy was unable to determine if Nico's death was caused by the move or by something else.

The Dolphin Celebration show opened to the public on April 2, 2011, and has been controversial. In 2016, the aquarium changed the format of the show to make it more educational.

On January 1, 2011, the aquarium purchased Marineland of Florida for a reported $9.1 million. The seller was Jim Jacoby, a metro Atlanta developer and member of the Georgia Aquarium board of directors, who bought the park in 2004 and re-developed it. In 2019, another company acquired Marineland of Florida.

In 2018, the aquarium announced its largest expansion to date, a $100 million, 45,000-square-foot endeavor featuring a new 1 e6USgal saltwater shark gallery, Sharks: Predators of the Deep, and a redesigned main entrance, planned to be completed in late Fall 2020. This new exhibit would include a variety of shark species. A temporary entrance was constructed by the end of 2018 to facilitate construction of the new expansion. The official opening date for the exhibit was October 23, 2020.

Incidents

 * Tragedy
 * In February 2015, the new vice-president José Luis Barbero died by suicide after a campaign alleging mistreatment of dolphins during his service as trainer in Marineland Mallorca.

 * Lawsuit
 * In 2015, the aquarium applied to import 18 belugas from Russia; it had previously placed an order for their capture and planned to send them on breeding loans to partnered parks such as Shedd Aquarium and SeaWorld, though SeaWorld ultimately opted out of the agreement. However, the permit was denied by the National Marine Fisheries Service, prompting Georgia Aquarium to sue. In September 2015, a federal district court ruled that "Georgia Aquarium failed to demonstrate that its permit would not result in the taking of additional animals beyond those authorized by the permit", and that the denial would stand.

 * Maharishi was honored by the creation of a new award, the Maharishi Dhanvantari Award, created by the Indian government in the memory of MMY and meant to honor people who have done serious work to spread Ayurveda world wide. Note that Maharishi's picture appears on the award itself as presented by the AYUSH minister: Minister of AYUSH Shripad Naik & Ambassador Venu Rajamony presented the Maharishi Dhanvantari award to Padmabhushan Vaidya Devendra Triguna, President of the All India Ayurveda Congress & Mr Tony Nader, Head of the Maharishi International Transcendental Meditation movement.
 * The AYUSH Ministery issued a 2019 calender to honor “Path-finding visionaries who have appeared in the different streams of AYUSH systems at different times in history and contributed their valuable share to the growth and development of respective practices.” Maharishi is the person honored in the month of January with the words: “Known for original contributions to Yoga and Meditation, he is remembered most for developing the Transcendental Meditation technique.”

 * There is a rumor that the Indian government is also issuing a commemorative postage stamp in MMY's honor, but I haven't see that yet.

How does one include these kinds of things in this article?Sparaig2 (talk) 10:11, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

Anti-Capitalist Convergence

Anti-Capitalist Convergences (ACC) are organizations which sprang up in North America in the late 1990s and early 2000s as forms of coordinating activities by the growing social justice, anarchist, and environmentalist anti-capitalists. Many of the ACCs were set up in anticipation of or as a result of a major protest.

Generally, Anti-Capitalist Convergences were assembled as umbrella organisations, to coordinate different groups and struggles. However, many have become groups unto themselves. In the wake of the "Battle of Seattle" and a similar resurgence of anti-capitalist protest and organising, activists in cities such as Seattle; Washington, D.C.; and Chicago formed Convergences to carry out protests more effectively and to ensure that anti-capitalist organising would continue after major demonstrations had left the city. The Convergences were also billed as a counterweight to more mainstream coalitions and trade unions who radicals claimed dominated protests.

By far the most successful of the Anti-Capitalist Convergences has been the one, based in Montreal, best known by its French acronym: CLAC (Convergence des Luttes Anti-Capitalistes). Originally formed to coordinate protests at the Quebec City Summit of the Americas in April, 2001, it continued to operate afterwards, and provided the engine for the Take the Capital! protests the following year. It has also proven strong within its own community, launched anti-gentrification campaigns, and worked to help non-status immigrants.

As quickly as many ACCs sprung up, most of them have fallen apart. Montreal; Seattle; Colorado; Chicago; New York City; and Washington, D.C., have all seen their ACCs collapse. However, there are now ACCs active overseas in the Philippines and Japan and efforts are under way to revive an anti-capitalist umbrella group in Montreal.

Talk:Samuel Thomson

Giant box
Samuel Thomson is a major figure in alternative medicine. You do not own this aritcle. -- John Gohde 04:32, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)

 * Who said I did. You don't need a giant box to link to alternative medicine. I added it to the see alsos. - Nunh-huh 04:42, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)

 * Okay, I will add back the full size infobox tomorrow, except that I will be sure to make it even bigger. I am glad that we are starting to see eye to eye. -- John Gohde 05:40, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)

 * Mediawiki message boxes were intended as a stopgap measure. We now have catagories, which render many of those boxes unnecessary. They should certainly not be used when they overwhelm content. - Nunh-huh 05:45, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Like I told another jerk, this project is not going to scrap our work of two months just because somebody made a change today that may not work tomorrow. This project is using infoboxes. So far the new systems changes look pretty bad to me. What !@#$%^&* decided to make the screen smaller for unregistered viewers? Was it you? I should have known! ... -- John Gohde 06:19, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)

 * Please try to be civil. I certainly make no decisions concerning screen size, screen formatting, or categories, so you might inquire about them at the village pump. - Nunh-huh 07:11, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Thomson's system
While this article describes Samuel Thomson, and his system, I don't think it goes into depth enough about what his system actually is composed of other than that it was somehow connected with 'natural medicine'. There doesn't seem to be an article on wikipedia about it, and thus would be another potential avenue of research. I'd do it myself if I didn't have an impending thesis to write! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dbmurray (talk • contribs) 03:42, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

 * While I added a reference and some external links, I agree that the article does not go into enough depth to his medicine. In fact I think the anecdote about his wife was not accurate, but will have to double check the facts.  His sweating his daughter out of a major illness may be more apt.  He had learned about herbal medicine as a child.  The references are here, including works by Thompson edited by Lloyd for anyone to upgrade the article.

Influence section
I added more references but there really needs to be a section on his influence, pros and cons. I also changed this from a cleanup to a bio-stub because it really is incomplete rather than unreferenced. KSVaughan2 14:01, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
