Il Redentore

The Chiesa del Santissimo Redentore (Church of the Most Holy Redeemer), commonly known as Il Redentore, is a 16th-century Roman Catholic church located on Giudecca (island) in the sestiere of Dorsoduro, in the city of Venice, Italy.

It was designed by Italian Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio and built as a votive church to thank God for the deliverance of the city from a major outbreak of the plague. Located on the waterfront of the Canale della Giudecca, it dominates the skyline of the island of Giudecca. It is a member of the Chorus Association of Venetian churches and contains a number of paintings by artists including Tintoretto, Paolo Veronese, and Francesco Bassano.

History
Il Redentore was built as a votive church in thanksgiving for deliverance from a major outbreak of the plague that decimated Venice between 1575 and 1576, in which some 46,000 people (25–30% of the population) died. The Senate of the Republic of Venice commissioned the architect Andrea Palladio to design the votive church. Though the Senate wished the Church to be square plan, Palladio designed a single nave church with three chapels on either side. Its prominent position on the Canale della Giudecca gave Palladio the opportunity to design a facade inspired by the Pantheon of Rome and enhanced by being placed on a wide plinth. 15 steps were required to reach the church's entrance, a direct reference to the Temple of Jerusalem and complicit with Palladio's own requirement that "the ascent (of the faithful) will be gradual, so that the climbing will bring more devotion".

The cornerstone was laid by the Patriarch of Venice Giovanni Trevisan on 3 May 1577 and the building was consecrated in 1592. At the urgent solicitations of Pope Gregory XIII, after consecration the church was placed in charge of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin. A small number of Friars reside in the monastery attached to the church.

Every year the doge and senators walked across a specially constructed pontoon bridge from the Zattere to Giudecca to attend Mass in the church. The Festa del Redentore remains a major festival in the Venetian calendar, celebrated on the third Sunday in July. A huge firework display on the previous evening is followed by a mass procession across the pontoon bridge.

The church was the scene of vandalism on 15–16 May 2022 after a group of three people – who were later arrested after being identified on CCTV footage – painted a three meter wide portion of the front facade of the church with pink paint as well as an equation of some sorts on top of the pink. A local tried removing the paint using water, but was unsuccessful in their efforts and only allowed the paint to permeate the stone it was displayed on. The restoration is now being handled by government art officials.

Exterior
Il Redentore has one of the most prominent sites of any of Palladio's structures, and is considered one of the pinnacles of his career. It is a large, white building with a dome crowned by a statue of the Redeemer. On the façade a central triangular pediment overlies a larger, lower one. This classical feature recalls Palladio's façade for San Francesco della Vigna, where he used an adaptation of a triumphal arch. Palladio is known for applying rigorous geometric proportions to his façades and that of this church is no exception. The overall height is four-fifths that of its overall width whilst the width of the central portion is five-sixths of its height.

It has been suggested that there are some oriental influences in the exterior, particularly the two campanili which resemble minarets.

Interior
As a pilgrimage church, the building was expected to have a long nave, which was something of a challenge for Palladio with his commitment to classical architecture. The result is a somewhat eclectic building, the white stucco and gray stone interior combines the nave with a domed crossing in spaces that are clearly articulated yet unified. An uninterrupted Corinthian order makes its way around the entire interior.

Art work
Il Redentore contains paintings by Francesco Bassano, Lazzaro Bastiani, Carlo Saraceni, Leandro Bassano, Palma the Younger, Jacopo Bassano, Francesco Bissolo, Rocco Marconi, Paolo Veronese, Alvise Vivarini and the workshop of Tintoretto. The sacristy also contains a series of wax heads of Franciscans made in 1710.

The church was painted by Canaletto a number of times, notably in a painting currently held at Woburn Abbey, England.

Depok

Depok (Sundanese:ᮓᮨᮕᮧᮊ᮪) is a landlocked city in West Java province. It is located directly south of Jakarta within the Jakarta Metropolitan Area in Indonesia. It has an area of 199.91 km2. It had a population of 1,738,600 at the 2010 census and 2,056,400 at the 2020 census; the official estimate as at mid 2023 was 2,145,400 (comprising 1,080,541 males and 1,064,859 females), resulting in a density of 10,731.8 people per km2. Depok was created as a separate city on 20 April 1999, having previously been part of Bogor Regency. It constitutes the second most populous suburban city in Indonesia (after Bekasi), and the tenth most populous suburban city globally.

History
There are two possible origins of the name 'Depok'. The first is that it the region was already known as Depok when the land was bought by Cornelis Chastelein, a senior official in the Dutch East India Company in 1696 and that on 18 May 1696, a former VOC officer Cornelis Chastelein bought land with an area of 12.44 km2, 6.2% the area of today's Depok. Besides cultivating the area with industrial plants with the help of the locals, Chastelein was active as a missionary, preaching Christianity to the indigenous Indonesians. To this end, he established a local congregation named De Eerste Protestante Organisatie van Christenen (DEPOC). In the 1950s, the claim that this acronym led to the modern name for Depok emerged among the community of people from Depok living in the Netherlands. An alternative explanation for the name is that it comes from the Indonesian word padepokan, meaning 'shrine', as the location had been used as a religious retreat before Chastelein's purchase of the land.

Before his death on 28 June 1714, Chastelein had written a will that freed the slave families of Depok and gave them pieces of his land, converting slaves into landlords. In 1714, the 12 slave families became landlords (forever as given to them with entitlement deeds of the owner Chastelien in his will) and freed men, women, and children. The freed slaves are also referred to as the Mardijker's – the word Merdeka meaning freedom in Bahasa Indonesia. June 28 is designated as Depokse Daag (Depok Day) by the original Depok family, and on 28 June 2014, commemorating 300 years, they formally opened a 3-meter height monument on its own land, but it was prohibited by the Government as it referred to Dutch colonialization.

The 12 original Depok family names are:

 * Bacas
 * Isakh
 * Jacob
 * Jonathans
 * Joseph
 * Laurens
 * Leander
 * Loen
 * Sadokh
 * Samuel
 * Soedira
 * Tholense

The original slave families of Depok are of Balinese, Ambonese, Buginese, Sundanese and Portuguese Indo, i.e., Mestizo and Mardijker descent. Isakh, Jacob, Jonathans, Joseph, and Samuel were family names baptized by Chastelein after the slave families converted to Protestant Christianity. The other families retained their original names and might have been (Roman Catholic) Christian already before joining Chastelein's Protestant church. Descendants of the original Depok families with the exception of the Sadokh family, still live in Indonesia, the Netherlands, Norway, Canada and the United States.

In 1871, the colonial government gave Depok a special status allowing the area to form its own government and president. The ruling no longer stood after 1952, where the Depok presidency ceded its control of Depok to the Indonesian government except for a few areas.

During the Bersiap (Indonesian civil war and war for independence from The Netherlands) period of 1945 much of Depok was destroyed and many of its inhabitants killed by 'Pemuda'. Many of the original Depok families fled for their lives from Indonesia during the Indonesian revolution and now live in the Netherlands as part of the Indo community there.

In March 1982, Depok was reclassified as an administrative city within Bogor Regency and, in 1999, as a city headed by a mayor. Then on 20 April 1999, the city of Depok was unified with some neighbouring districts of Bogor Regency to form an autonomous city of Depok (independent of the Regency) with an area of 199.91 km2. This date is commemorated as the date of the establishment of the city.

CWA v. CWFA and Citation Links
I believe the correct acronym for Concerned Women for America is CWA, but a few times it is written as CWFA. The dates in which Penny Young Nance was CEO are written strangely at the bottom and should be condensed to one line. Also, many of the links in the references do not work. Jfunsten (talk) 18:55, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

Seven Core Issues
I think that there should be a new section added to this page about the CWAs Seven Core Issues, which are Sanctity of Life, Defense of Family, Education, Religious Liberty, National Sovereignty, Sexual Exploitation and Support for Isreal. This is their mission statement and I think highlighting that would bring about a more well rounded page. You can find this information on their website under the "Issues" tab.

Social Conservative vs Christian organization
Calling it a conservative Christian organization is not encompassing the fact that it is a social conservative organization (this classification is based on stances). It is mentioned just a line or 2 down that they are a Christian organization. As such, I am reverting it back to saying that this is a social conservative group. Also, I am attempting to use outside sources besides the organizations website, so try to limit the citations of the website itself. Bre579 (talk) 02:56, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

What sources do you have that say they are a social concervative organization and not a conservative Christian organization? I strongly believe you should reconsider since their website states "Through sound research and education, the Beverly LaHaye Institute will stand strong in defense of the family, Judeo-Christian values and those conservative principles that build responsible citizens and cultivate strong families, communities and nations" Lipsquid (talk) 03:19, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
 * And as I look back over the edits, I see the long term stable version of the article had "Christian" in the first sentence of the lede. We should look for compromise wording here. Lipsquid (talk) 03:22, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I edited it so that it says social conservative Christian organization. I feel as though this is a good compromise. I wasn't saying it wasn't Christian, but was also trying to stay with the fact that it is socially conservative. Hopefully this helps to alleviate the issues both of us had with the wording. Bre579 (talk) 03:43, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
 * That works very well for me. Thank you for the compromise. Warm regards, Lipsquid (talk) 03:46, 21 December 2016 (UTC)
 * No problem. The point is to make the page better! Bre579 (talk) 07:27, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

Cary Middlecoff

Emmett Cary Middlecoff (January 6, 1921 – September 1, 1998) was an American professional golfer on the PGA Tour from 1947 to 1961. His 39 Tour wins place him tied for tenth all-time, and he won three major championships. Middlecoff graduated as a dentist, but gave up his practice at age 26 to become a full-time Tour golfer.

Early life and education
Middlecoff was born January 6, 1921, in Halls, Tennessee. He graduated from Christian Brothers High School. He played collegiate golf at the University of Mississippi, becoming that school's first golf All-American in 1939. First as an undergraduate and active member of Kappa Alpha Order, then as a dental student at the University of Tennessee, Middlecoff won the Tennessee State Amateur Championship for four straight years (1940–1943). After obtaining his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree in 1944, he entered the United States Army Dental Corps during World War II. He won a PGA Tour tournament as an amateur in 1945, and then turned professional in 1947. He was selected for the 1947 Walker Cup team but immediately withdrew as he intended turning professional.

PGA Tour career
During his playing career, Middlecoff won 39 PGA Tour tournaments, including the 1955 Masters and U.S. Open titles in 1949 and 1956. He won the Vardon Trophy for lowest scoring average in 1956.

Middlecoff played on three Ryder Cup teams: 1953, 1955, and 1959 – the U.S. teams won all three times. He was ineligible for the 1957 Ryder Cup because he failed to play in the PGA Championship that year. Middlecoff was disappointed to lose a playoff in the 1957 U.S. Open to Dick Mayer, and played very few events following that event. The U.S. lost the Cup in 1957, for the first time since 1933.

Middlecoff's three best seasons were 1949, 1951 and 1956, as he won six tour titles in each of those years. He won at least one tour tournament in 13 of his 15 seasons, missing only in 1957 and 1960.

During the decade of the 1950s, Middlecoff won 28 tour titles, more than any other player during that span. A tall player with plenty of power and very good accuracy, Middlecoff during his best years was also a superb putter. He was known for often taking excessive time to play his shots.

Back problems and struggles with his nerves during competition ended his career in the early 1960s, when he was in his early 40s, although he continued to play occasionally, competing in the Masters until 1971, as a past champion.

Middlecoff became a top player despite having one leg slightly shorter than the other.

Movies, television and writing
Middlecoff later developed a reputation as one of the best of the early golf television commentators. After retiring from the tour, he spent 18 years as a golf analyst for television. He appeared in two motion pictures as himself (Follow the Sun (1951, about the life and career of Ben Hogan) and The Bellboy (1960)). He wrote a newspaper column, "The Golf Doctor." He also appeared in a short biographical sports documentary Golf Doctor (1947).

Later life
In 1986, Middlecoff was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame. He died of heart disease in 1998 in Memphis, Tennessee. He was survived by his wife of 51 years, Edith.

Barbet Schroeder

Barbet Schroeder (born 26 August 1941) is an Iranian-born Swiss film director and producer who started his career in French cinema in the 1960s, working with directors of the French New Wave such as Jean-Luc Godard, Jacques Rivette and Eric Rohmer.

Schroeder started his career producing such films as The Bakery Girl of Monceau (1962), Six in Paris (1965), and Celine and Julie Go Boating (1974). He then transitioned into directing films such as More (1969), La Vallée (1972) and Barfly (1987), the last of which was nominated for the Palme d'Or. He also gained recognition for directing the documentary Koko: A Talking Gorilla (1978). He directed what he labeled, "The Trilogy of Evil", which includes the films, General Idi Amin Dada: A Self Portrait (1974), Terror's Advocate (2007) and The Venerable W. (2016).

He directed the drama Reversal of Fortune (1990) and earned a nomination for Academy Award for Best Director. He then directed many big budget Hollywood films, often mixing melodrama with the thriller genre in films like Single White Female (1992), Kiss of Death (1995), Desperate Measures (1998) and Murder by Numbers (2002). He also acted in Beverly Hills Cop III (1994), Mars Attacks! (1996) and The Darjeeling Limited (2007).

Early life and education
Schroeder was born in Tehran, Iran, the son of Ursula, a German physician, and Jean-William Schroeder, a Swiss geologist. From ages 6 to 11, he lived in Colombia where his father worked. Both he and his family then left for France, where he studied at the Sorbonne in Paris.

Career
Schroeder's production company Les Films du Losange, founded by him at age 23, produced some of the best-known films of the French New Wave. His directorial debut, More (1969), about heroin addiction, became a hit in Europe. Pink Floyd wrote music for this movie and released the album, More. They also wrote the soundtrack for his 1972 film La Vallée, released as the album Obscured by Clouds.

He later went on to direct more mainstream Hollywood fare, such as Barfly (1987) starring Mickey Rourke, Single White Female (1992) and Reversal of Fortune (1990), for which Jeremy Irons as Claus von Bülow received an Academy Award. Despite his many commercially successful films, Schroeder continues to be interested in making smaller films with a more limited audience, such as the adaptation of Colombian writer Fernando Vallejo's controversial novel La virgen de los sicarios (2000) or the documentary General Idi Amin Dada: A Self Portrait (1974), featuring extensive interviews with the Ugandan dictator and Terror's Advocate (2007) about terrorism in the last fifty years, seen through the eyes of a lawyer, Jacques Vergès, and his clients.

Schroeder has also made some appearances as an actor: playing one of the 'ghosts' in Jacques Rivette's Céline et Julie vont en bateau (Céline and Julie Go Boating), a cameo as a Porsche driver in Beverly Hills Cop III (1994),  as the President of France in Mars Attacks! (1996), as  a hair products salesman in Paris, je t'aime (2006) and as the mechanic in The Darjeeling Limited (2007). Today, he resides in France and is married to actress Bulle Ogier.

In 2009, Schroeder signed a petition in support of film director Roman Polanski, calling for his release after Polanski was arrested in Switzerland in relation to his 1977 charge for drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl.

Schroeder directed the 12th episode of the third season of the American dramatic television series Mad Men that first aired on 1 November 2009. The episode was entitled "The Grown Ups", and was notable for its depiction of the events of the Kennedy assassination.

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the " " template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace " " with "  ". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Hello, I just wanted to tell you that I revamped the article on Wyrd. You may want to check it out and help continue to improve it.

quick question
Sorry to bother you, noticed that you rv'ed the narcotic page back to the prior revision due to vandalism. I saw the vandalism earlier today, but couldn't figure out how to revert it back to the original aside from manually re-editing the text. Am I just missing an obvious link or something?

Thanks for any help.

mitomac

 * No problem. Click the time/date link for the version you want to revert back to, then click "Edit this page" and save the version you opened up. --jh51681 July 5, 2005 10:14 (UTC)

 * Thanks! --Mitomac July 5, 2005 15:56 (UTC)

Ctrl+Enter Shortcut
Wow, thanks, now I have my Ctrl+Enter shortcut back. I had no idea turning it on and off was actually an option. But I vaguely remember I used to be able to use Ctrl+Enter without the inline AutoComplete. Is that possible? --JianLi 03:09, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Neither did I, but I found a few discussions online that mentioned turning it on to get it back and went from those. It must be possible without the option but it's a mystery to both of us. :D I remember seeing IE prompts asking whether I'd like to turn on AutoComplete after using a textbox (search engine, etc.), so maybe that has something to do with it. --jh51681 18:42, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Metallica-2OfOne.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Metallica-2OfOne.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- moe.RON  Let's talk  03:37, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Done. --jh51681 01:25, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Revision number
Greetings. I recently reverted some vandalism for the first time, but I didn't know how to cite the version number. Since I noticed you had revert vandalism earlier on the page (for potato salad), I thought I would ask how to correct document vandalism reversion with revision numbers.

Thanks,  EleosPrime  19:28, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I use a tool called Navigation popups to do this. It gives you a popup menu when you point at a hyperlink. One of the options is "rv" or "revert" where it cites the revision number automatically.

 * Another way to do it is using the "undo" link when you are viewing a diff page. It'll put the revision number in the edit summary for you. --jh51681 22:01, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the info, and for the userbox code fix.  EleosPrime  14:28, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia Loves Art
First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject).

I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Wikipedia Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.

If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!

If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Wikipedia Loves Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.

Thank you and I hope to see you there!  howcheng  {chat} 00:03, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Reviewer granted
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 05:44, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

I forgot all about this when I realized where I had heard what I thought was this song. You [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Archives/Entertainment/2017_December_18#What_song_was_Colleen_listening_to_on_Life_in_Pieces? told me] it was the song I heard on Life in Pieces and while I thought it was familiar, what I was remembering was a Jack in the Box commercial. I'm not even certain the writers of "Painkiller" would have a case against the writers of the music in that commercial.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  16:11, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

The Golden Age (comics)

The Golden Age is a 1993 four-issue Elseworlds comic book mini-series by writer James Robinson and artist Paul Smith. It concerns the Golden Age DC Comics superheroes entering the 1950s and facing the advent of McCarthyism.

Plot
The series opens by showing how various Golden Age heroes have adjusted to life after World War II. The members of the Justice Society of America and All-Star Squadron have mostly retired. Tex Thompson, formerly known as the Americommando and Mr. America, has returned from Europe a war hero and has used his fame to start a political career, resulting in him being elected a senator. He then recruits several former heroes to create a new group of heroes for the 1950s. The group includes Robotman (who is slowly losing touch with his humanity), the Atom and Johnny Thunder (who are both looking for somewhere to belong), and Dan the Dyna-Mite (Daniel Dunbar), who is lost after the death of his mentor TNT. Thompson oversees various experiments on Dunbar which change him into the incredibly powerful Dynaman.

Other retired heroes are suffering from their own problems. The McCarthy hearings have resulted in Green Lantern being blacklisted due to his job as the head of a media corporation. Johnny Quick and Liberty Belle were married and eventually divorced. Quick is now a television reporter while Belle is dating journalist John Law (formerly the Tarantula). Starman has suffered a nervous breakdown after realizing that his research into cosmic energy helped in the development of the atom bomb. Captain Triumph (Lance Gallant) has retired and is trying to lead a normal life, despite his twin brother Michael's ghost urging him to become a hero again. Hourman is fighting his addiction to the Miraclo pill that gives him his powers.

The hero Manhunter (Paul Kirk), who has also returned from Europe, is suffering from memory loss and being hunted by strange men. He meets up with Thompson's former sidekick from his Mr. America days, Bob Daley AKA Fatman, and hides out while coming to terms with his demons. Eventually, the two of them seek the help of Hawkman, who helps Manhunter regain his memories. Those memories reveal a dark secret about Thompson: During the final days of the war, the super-villain known as the Ultra-Humanite, who worked as one of Hitler's scientists at Dachau, transferred his brain into Thompson's body.

While Manhunter is recovering his memories, Thompson's aide and lover Joan Dale, the former Miss America discovers his personal diary. Concerned with Thompson and Dunbar's increasingly strange behavior, she enlists former thief Paula Brooks, also known as the Tigress, to pick the lock and open the diary. The two of them, along with Gallant (whom Brooks was dating), discover not only that Thompson is actually the Ultra-Humanite, but also that he had performed another brain swap, that of Adolf Hitler's brain into Dunbar's body. They call Johnny Quick to inform him about the contents of the diary at about the same time Carter Hall calls him about Manhunter's revelations. This sets the stage for an explosive and tragic final showdown in Washington, D.C.

As Miss America attempts to reveal the truth about Tex Thompson and Dynaman before the assembled heroes, she is murdered by Robotman, who knew but didn't care about Tex and Dynaman's secrets. The Atom is finally convinced by Hourman that Tex and Dynaman are evil. Johnny Thunder, still brainwashed by Thompson's "dream" and blinded by his desire to belong somewhere, orders Yz, his thunderbolt, to kill Hourman. Yz attempts to obey the command but is so torn between his duties to his master and his own moral standards that he suffers a breakdown and flies, screaming, into the heavens (presumably forever) leaving Thunder guilt-ridden. Dynaman admits the truth about himself and proceeds to kill several heroes, including Tarantula, Human Bomb, Sportsmaster (a reformed villain), Doll Man and Red Bee, as well as disabling Doctor Mid-Nite by destroying his goggles and Hawkman by tearing off his wings. Thompson battles Manhunter, who snaps Thompson's neck after both of them fall out of a window. Lance Gallant and Robotman fight and kill each other. Dynaman is killed when Liberty Belle rams what is left of Starman's cosmic rod through his chest. She is able to do this after Dynaman is distracted by Adam Blake AKA Captain Comet, a young hero who joins the others in the fighting.

Despite numerous injuries and deaths, the heroes are triumphant. The last pages show Manhunter recovering and returning to Africa (he disappeared in 1951); Paula returns to a life of crime after being driven over the edge at witnessing Lance's death; Ted Knight recovers and marries; Al Pratt grows more mature after the incident, in contrast to Johnny Thunder who "never changed", and Johnny Quick and Liberty Belle reconcile. Meanwhile, a new generation of superheroes, led by Captain Comet, is born and Quick looks forward to "a new age, as pure as sterling silver". The last page is a splash page showing Captain Comet and various other Silver Age heroes including Martian Manhunter (hovering behind his human identity John Jones), the Challengers of the Unknown, the Doom Patrol, Green Arrow, Elongated Man, Aquaman, Adam Strange, Animal Man, The Creeper, and Metamorpho, as well as successors such as Hal Jordan (Alan Scott's successor as Green Lantern), Ray Palmer (Al Pratt's successor as The Atom), Cliff Steele (Robert Crane's successor as Robotman and a member of the Doom Patrol), and Barry Allen (Jay Garrick's successor as The Flash).

Continuity
The Golden Age takes place outside normal DC universe continuity and is labeled as an "Elseworlds". Despite this, writer James Robinson incorporated elements of the series into his Starman series. Additionally, some elements of the mini-series were used by writer Geoff Johns in a JSA story arc, bringing some elements of this story into continuity (including Starman helping to develop the atom bomb, the McCarthy hearings blacklisting the JSA — though a variation of this previously appeared in the final issue of the Justice Society's run in Adventure Comics in 1979). The most notable elements that are out of continuity are the fates of Dan the Dyna-Mite (who in DC continuity became a member of "Old Justice", a team that fought Young Justice), Tarantula (who has appeared in the pages of Nightwing), Robotman, who was not destroyed in the 1950s but spent two decades in suspended animation before having his human brain transplanted into the preserved body of his former assistant Chuck Grayson, and Miss America (who appears in Freedom Fighters series).

Collected editions
The series was collected as a trade paperback (ISBN 1-56389-203-0) in 1995. A new printing of this trade paperback was published in 2005, with the book retitled as JSA: The Golden Age (ISBN 1-4012-0711-1).

Critical reception and awards
Writer Geoff Johns credits James Robinson's work on this book for igniting his love for the characters in it, and for his decision to accept writing duties on JSA in 2000.

 * Awards:
 * 1994: Nominated for "Best Finite Series" Eisner Award

Dark state

In atomic physics, a dark state refers to a state of an atom or molecule that cannot absorb (or emit) photons. All atoms and molecules are described by quantum states; different states can have different energies and a system can make a transition from one energy level to another by emitting or absorbing one or more photons. However, not all transitions between arbitrary states are allowed. A state that cannot absorb an incident photon is called a dark state. This can occur in experiments using laser light to induce transitions between energy levels, when atoms can spontaneously decay into a state that is not coupled to any other level by the laser light, preventing the atom from absorbing or emitting light from that state.

A dark state can also be the result of quantum interference in a three-level system, when an atom is in a coherent superposition of two states, both of which are coupled by lasers at the right frequency to a third state. With the system in a particular superposition of the two states, the system can be made dark to both lasers as the probability of absorbing a photon goes to 0.

In practice
Experiments in atomic physics are often done with a laser of a specific frequency $$\omega$$ (meaning the photons have a specific energy), so they only couple one set of states with a particular energy $$E_1$$ to another set of states with an energy $$E_2=E_1 + \hbar \omega$$. However, the atom can still decay spontaneously into a third state by emitting a photon of a different frequency. The new state with energy $$E_3<E_2$$ of the atom no longer interacts with the laser simply because no photons of the right frequency are present to induce a transition to a different level. In practice, the term dark state is often used for a state that is not accessible by the specific laser in use even though transitions from this state are in principle allowed.

In theory
Whether or not we say a transition between a state $$|1\rangle$$ and a state $$|2\rangle$$ is allowed often depends on how detailed the model is that we use for the atom-light interaction. From a particular model follow a set of selection rules that determine which transitions are allowed and which are not. Often these selection rules can be boiled down to conservation of angular momentum (the photon has angular momentum). In most cases we only consider an atom interacting with the electric dipole field of the photon. Then some transitions are not allowed at all, others are only allowed for photons of a certain polarization. Consider for example the hydrogen atom. The transition from the state $$1^2S_{1/2}$$ with mj=-1/2 to the state $$2^2P_{3/2}$$ with mj=-1/2 is only allowed for light with polarization along the z axis (quantization axis) of the atom. The state $$2^2P_{3/2}$$ with mj=-1/2 therefore appears dark for light of other polarizations. Transitions from the 2S level to the 1S level are not allowed at all. The 2S state can not decay to the ground state by emitting a single photon. It can only decay by collisions with other atoms or by emitting multiple photons. Since these events are rare, the atom can remain in this excited state for a very long time, such an excited state is called a metastable state.

Three-level systems
We start with a three-state Λ-type system, where $$|1\rangle\leftrightarrow|3\rangle$$ and $$|2\rangle\leftrightarrow|3\rangle$$ are dipole-allowed transitions and $$|1\rangle\leftrightarrow|2\rangle$$ is forbidden. In the rotating wave approximation, the semi-classical Hamiltonian is given by
 * $$H=H_0+H_1$$

with
 * $$H_0=\hbar\omega_1|1\rangle\langle 1|+\hbar\omega_2|2\rangle\langle 2|+\hbar\omega_3|3\rangle\langle 3|,$$
 * $$H_1=-\frac \hbar 2\left(\Omega_p e^{+i\omega_p t}|1\rangle\langle 3|+\Omega_c e^{+i\omega_c t}|2\rangle\langle 3|\right)+\mbox{H.c.},$$

where $$\Omega_p $$ and $$\Omega_c $$ are the Rabi frequencies of the probe field (of frequency $$\omega_p$$) and the coupling field (of frequency $$\omega_c$$) in resonance with the transition frequencies $$\omega_1-\omega_3$$ and $$\omega_2-\omega_3$$, respectively, and H.c. stands for the Hermitian conjugate of the entire expression. We will write the atomic wave function as
 * $$|\psi(t)\rangle=c_1(t)e^{-i\omega_1 t}|1\rangle+c_2(t)e^{-i\omega_2 t}|2\rangle+c_3(t)e^{-i\omega_3 t}|3\rangle.$$

Solving the Schrödinger equation $$i\hbar|\dot\psi\rangle=H|\psi\rangle$$, we obtain the solutions $$\dot c_1=\frac i2\Omega_p c_3$$

$$\dot c_2=\frac i2\Omega_c c_3 $$

$$\dot c_3=\frac i2(\Omega_p c_1+\Omega_c c_2).$$

Using the initial condition
 * $$|\psi(0)\rangle=c_1(0)|1\rangle+c_2(0)|2\rangle+c_3(0)|3\rangle,$$

we can solve these equations to obtain

c_1(t)=c_1(0)\left[\frac{\Omega_c ^2}{\Omega^2}+\frac{\Omega_p ^2}{\Omega^2}\cos\frac{\Omega t}{2}\right]+c_2(0)\left[-\frac{\Omega_p \Omega_c }{\Omega^2}+\frac{\Omega_p \Omega_c }{\Omega^2}\cos\frac{\Omega t}{2}\right] \quad-ic_3(0)\frac{\Omega_p }{\Omega}\sin\frac{\Omega t}{2}$$

c_2(t)=c_1(0)\left[-\frac{\Omega_p \Omega_c }{\Omega^2}+\frac{\Omega_p \Omega_c }{\Omega^2}\cos\frac{\Omega t}{2}\right]+c_2(0)\left[\frac{\Omega_p ^2}{\Omega^2}+\frac{\Omega_c^2}{\Omega^2}\cos\frac{\Omega t}{2}\right] \quad-ic_3(0)\frac{\Omega_c }{\Omega}\sin\frac{\Omega t}{2}$$

c_3(t)=-ic_1(0)\frac{\Omega_p }{\Omega}\sin\frac{\Omega t}{2}-ic_2(0)\frac{\Omega_c }{\Omega}\sin\frac{\Omega t}{2}+c_3(0)\cos\frac{\Omega t}{2}$$

with $$\Omega=\sqrt{\Omega_c ^2+\Omega_p ^2}$$. We observe that we can choose the initial conditions
 * $$c_1(0)=\frac{\Omega_c }{\Omega},\qquad c_2(0)=-\frac{\Omega_p }{\Omega},\qquad c_3(0)=0,$$

which gives a time-independent solution to these equations with no probability of the system being in state $$|3\rangle$$. This state can also be expressed in terms of a mixing angle $$\theta$$ as
 * $$|D\rangle=\cos\theta|1\rangle-\sin\theta|2\rangle$$

with
 * $$\cos\theta=\frac{\Omega_{c}}{\sqrt{\Omega_{p}^2+\Omega_{c}^2}},\qquad \sin\theta=\frac{\Omega_{p}}{\sqrt{\Omega_{p}^2+\Omega_{c}^2}}.$$

This means that when the atoms are in this state, they will stay in this state indefinitely. This is a dark state, because it can not absorb or emit any photons from the applied fields. It is, therefore, effectively transparent to the probe laser, even when the laser is exactly resonant with the transition. Spontaneous emission from $$|3\rangle$$ can result in an atom being in this dark state or another coherent state, known as a bright state. Therefore, in a collection of atoms, over time, decay into the dark state will inevitably result in the system being "trapped" coherently in that state, a phenomenon known as coherent population trapping.

Michael Oliver (actor)

Michael Joshua Oliverius (born October 10, 1981) is an American former child actor better known by his stage name Michael Oliver.

Oliver is best known for his role as "Junior" in the movie Problem Child and its sequel Problem Child 2. He also played Sam Dalton In Dillinger and Capone in 1995.

Early life and career
Born in Los Angeles, California, Oliver's career started at the age of 2. His first job was as a model in a Sears catalog. At age 6, he appeared in a Chevron commercial where he wore glasses and had his voice dubbed over. After seeing Oliver in the Chevron commercial, a casting agent for the film Problem Child tracked Oliver down and cast him in the role days later.

When Problem Child was released in 1990, Oliver's appearance reminded people of a young Ron Howard as "Opie Taylor" in the Andy Griffith Show. It became a "surprise hit," spawned two sequels and an animated series. Problem Child 2 followed in 1991; however, the script was considered not in par with the original and repeatedly resorted to adult language, thus limiting the film's overall appeal. Michael Oliver retired from acting when he was 15. In 2015, it was reported that Oliver was happy with his private life away from the celebrity scene and had said he was enjoying "a nice, quiet existence" although he expressed he was grateful for the time he had spent in the spotlight as a child star.

On a 2011 episode of the radio show Loveline, Oliver called in while former co-star Gilbert Gottfried was guest hosting. On the 20th anniversary of both Problem Child and Problem Child 2, it was the first time the two actors have spoken to each other since 1991.

In 2022, after being married since 2016 and separated since 2019, Oliver filed for a divorce from his ex-wife Magnolia Ponce citing irreconcilable differences.

Lawsuit with Universal Pictures
After completion of Problem Child 2, Universal Pictures sued Oliver's manager-mother Dianne Ponce for extorting his acting contract with the studio. Universal Pictures stated that, on the eve of filming, Ponce threatened to remove her son from production unless his payment for the film was raised from $80,000 to $500,000.

A Superior Court jury ruled that the contract was unenforceable, Universal Pictures having entered into it under duress, and that Ponce and Oliver were obliged to return the difference between the $250,000 Universal had thus far paid and the $80,000 originally negotiated.

St Patrick's Isle

St Patrick's Isle (Ynnys Pherick) is a small tidal island on the west coast of the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea, largely occupied by the ruins of Peel Castle and of the Pre-Reformation Cathedral of the Diocese of the Isles.

History
Archeological studies have shown permanent occupation on St Patrick's Isle dating to the Late Bronze Age. The ruins on St Patrick's Isle include St Patrick's Church and an Irish-style round tower, the former St German's Cathedral, and the more recent residence of the Lords of Mann.

St Patrick's Isle is far more important than one might realize to history of the Celtic Church and the Catholic Church in Scotland. This is because, prior to the Protestant Reformation, the now ruined St Germanus of Man's Cathedral was the headquarters of the Diocese of the Isles, which in its full form included the Outer Hebrides, most of the Inner Hebrides (including Iona, Skye, Raasay, Canna, Eigg, Coll, Tiree, Mull, Colonsay, Islay, Jura, Gigha – but not Lismore, Kerrera, Seil or Luing, all under the Bishop of Argyll), the Isle of Bute and the Isle of Arran. The Diocese may have originally contained Galloway, a suggestion thought to explain the possible attacks of Wimund on Bishop Gilla Aldan of Whithorn.

The ancient cathedral, however, was left to decay in the 18th century, never to be rebuilt. The island's steep and rocky edges made it an ideal defensive outpost. It is said to be the place where St Patrick first set foot in the Isle of Man in 444 while returning from Liverpool to Ireland. Having established Christianity, he then appointed St Germanus of Man bishop, to oversee further development of the Church. However, there is debate as to whether the name "St Patrick's Isle" pre-dates the thirteenth century.

The islet is now a tourist site with the castle walls running close to the shoreline. There is a public walk around the outside of the castle, which lines the coastal edge of the islet. It is connected to the town of Peel on the Isle of Man by a causeway over Fenella Beach, named after the character in Sir Walter Scott's Peveril of the Peak. In addition to the historic ruins, the island is partially a sealife sanctuary.

St. Patrick's Isle was originally referred to as Inis (or Ynnys) Patraic in Manx.

"right of way" is not an informal term
Both "right of way" & "right-of-way" are formal terms used in legislation; they have a recognized legal meaning & are not "informal" terminology. For example, Colorado statute § 42-4-703, explicitly uses "yield the right-of-way" to refer to traffic priority. "Traffic priority" is actually the more informal term, as it does not appear in relevant legal texts. ProphetZarquon (talk) 17:44, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

The Last Tycoon (1976 film)

The Last Tycoon is a 1976 American period romantic drama film directed by Elia Kazan and produced by Sam Spiegel, based upon Harold Pinter's screenplay adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's unfinished novel The Last Tycoon. It stars Robert De Niro, Tony Curtis, Robert Mitchum, Jack Nicholson, Donald Pleasence, Jeanne Moreau, Theresa Russell and Ingrid Boulting.

The film was the second collaboration between Kazan and Spiegel, who worked closely together to make On the Waterfront. Fitzgerald based the novel's protagonist, Monroe Stahr, on film producer Irving Thalberg. Spiegel was once awarded the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award.

The Last Tycoon did not receive the critical acclaim that much of Kazan's earlier work received, considering the level of talent involved, but it was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Art Direction (Gene Callahan, Jack T. Collis, and Jerry Wunderlich).

The story itself was Fitzgerald's last, unfinished novel, as well as the last film Kazan directed, even though he lived until 2003.

Plot
Set in the 1930s, Monroe Stahr is a young production chief and the most creative executive of one of the biggest studios of the Golden Age of Hollywood studio noted for his intuitive ability to make critically acclaimed and financially profitable films. Working long hours that compromise his health, Stahr is active in all facets of moviemaking. During the viewing of dailies, he provides specific and inspired orders for editing the footage. From a discreet distance, he oversees the production of a film of the Writers Guild of America, and watches an aging diva, Didi, undermine the authority of director Red Ridingwood. Stahr mourns for his deceased wife, Minna Davis, a famous actress whose dressing room has been left as a memorial and is a highlight of the studio's public tours.

One evening, Pat Brady an older and more powerful producer, meets with Fleishacker, the studio's New York attorney. Coveting the recognition Stahr receives, Brady claims that he is the strong base on which Monroe Stahr rests. Brady's college-aged daughter, Cecilia comes home for the summer and arrives at Brady's office shortly before an earthquake jolts the studio. Brady and Cecilia race to Stahr's office, where they find him knocked unconscious by fallen debris. After he awakens, Stahr organizes the studio workers to respond to the damage caused by the earthquake. Broken pipes have unleashed a flood and created a small river on the studio lot. As Stahr surveys the area, a piece from a film set, a giant head of the goddess, Siva floats into view. Clinging to its sides are two women who have taken refuge from the water. Entranced by the surreal sight, Stahr is particularly drawn to one of the women, an ethereal beauty who reminds him of Minna. During the night, Stahr dreams that Minna tells him she has come home. The next day, he initiates a search for the woman. Meanwhile, Cecilia, who is infatuated with Stahr, asks him to escort her to the Screenwriters' Ball.

She talks about marriage, but he says he is too old and too tired to undertake such a thing. When Cecilia boldly challenges him by saying 'undertake me', Stahr resists, explaining that he does not think of her in a romantic way. He allows their conversation to be interrupted by the arrival of Rodriguez, a matinee idol who seeks a private conference. When Rodriquez confides that he is suffering from impotency, Stahr counsels him and the actor leaves with renewed confidence. Over an executive lunch, Brady and several studio trustees discuss the threat posed by Brimmer, the communist leader of the writers' union. When an aged executive expresses complete faith in Stahr's ability to solve all problems and calls him our production genius, Brady defensively claims he was the first to refer to Stahr that way. When Stahr joins the group, he skillfully fields their questions about current and prospective projects, validating their trust in his abilities. When he receives a call reporting that the woman riding the Siva head has been located, he arranges to meet her that evening.

After lunch he fires Ridingwood telling him he can neither handle Didi nor elicit her best performance. Later, when Brady calls to set up an urgent meeting for that evening, Stahr declines. That evening, Stahr is disappointed to discover that his appointment is with Edna, the other woman on the Siva head, but realizing his disappointment, she takes him to the apartment of Kathleen Moore, the woman he seeks. Although Kathleen seems pleased to meet him, she will only chat with him outside and will not invite him into her home. They part, expressing hope that they will meet again. The next day, Stahr mediates between Boxley, an English writer who thinks movies are beneath him, and his two colleagues. To inspire Boxley, Stahr tells an impromptu story, in which a woman enters a room and empties the contents of her purse on a table. His interest piqued, Boxley asks about an unresolved element in the story, a nickel spilled from the woman's purse. Stahr tells Boxley the nickel was for the movies, a reminder of the nickels upon which the industry is built. At the Screenwriters' Ball, Stahr unexpectedly encounters Kathleen and they dance as the Hollywood community looks on. Kathleen says she cannot date him, but when she leaves, he follows her.

Stahr and Kathleen spend the next day at Stahr's uncompleted beach house and remain there until after dark and make love. Kathleen tells Stahr about her previous relationship with an important man who misused her and says another man rescued her. Stahr tells Kathleen that he does not want to lose her, but she answers that she wants a quiet life. Later, when he returns home alone, Stahr's butler hands him an envelope that fell out of his car. Inside, Stahr finds a note from Kathleen stating that she will be married soon and cannot see him again. At the studio, Stahr deals with a drunken Boxley and has him escorted off the lot. Despite Kathleen's note, she and Stahr return to the beach, where she confirms her plans to marry an engineer who she says saved her life. Undeterred, Stahr later calls Kathleen and excitedly plans a weekend getaway. However, while viewing rushes in a projection room, he receives a telegram from Kathleen, reporting that she was married at noon. In the aftermath of Kathleen's rejection, Stahr attends an important meeting with Brimmer, the writers' union leader at Brady's residence. The two men joust verbally as Stahr dismisses writers as gag men with whom he will share money but never power. He drinks heavily at dinner and, seeing Brimmer and Cecilia flirt, proposes a game of ping-pong. The game gets hostile and the drunken Stahr declares his intention to beat up Brimmer. He throws a punch but Brimmer fends it off easily and knocks the producer to the ground with a single blow. During the night, Cecilia cares for the battered Stahr. When daylight arrives, Brady tells Stahr he has called an emergency meeting. When he arrives at the meeting with a bruised eye, Brady informs Stahr that the New York office has expressed dissatisfaction with his mishandling of the meeting with Brimmer and suggests he take a long vacation.

Returning to his office a final time, Stahr wrestles with a flood of memories. He envisions Kathleen as the girl in the story he told Boxley, spilling a nickel from her purse. In his thoughts, Stahr pleads to Kathleen, stay out the far side, he walks past a row of sound stages and, thinking, he enters a cavernous sound stage and walks into darkness.

Themes
The character Monroe Stahr is full of associations to Irving Thalberg, the production chief at M-G-M in the period between the late 1920s and 1930s. The background is Hollywood in the Golden Thirties, when studios made 30 to 40 productions a year and every backlot could simultaneously sustain motion pictures being set in multiple locations around the world such as New York City, Africa, the South Pole and Montmartre. The background of the film has a close bond to stories of Hollywood at that time, as well as to Fitzgerald's own life and career.

The theme of unfinished ambitions and the unattained love of the young and beautiful in Hollywood, embodied by the beach house, have great significance for both the Novelist and Director at the end of their luminary careers.

Vincent Canby of The New York Times writes: None of the changes that Mr. Pinter has made in the novel seem to me to damage the style or mood of the book. More than any other screen adaptation of a Fitzgerald work—with the exception of Joan Micklin Silver's fine adaptation of the short story Bernice Bobs Her Hair—The Last Tycoon preserves original feeling and intelligence. The movie is full of echoes. We watch it as if at a far remove from what's happening, but that too is appropriate: Fitzgerald was writing history as it happened.

Reception
The critical reaction to The Last Tycoon has been mixed. Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes retrospectively collected reviews from 27 critics to give it a rating of 33%.
