Talk:Vril Society

Germany v Prussia
Let us be entirely clear. There is a huge and substantial difference between the two cultures. The Prussians formed the Prussian Army, which formed their paramilitary spy organization, which formed the FreiKorp, etc. The FreiKorp was a group of spy's which existed from 1754 to present. about 100 branches of small units operating around the western world designed to topple governments in order for Prussian influence to reign. The Germans on the other hand are an entirely and completely different culture.

The Germans formed the Thule Society which was a German not Prussian Think tank designed to examine and explore the secrets to the Garden of Eden. From 1806 to 1917 the previous 100 if not 1000 versions of the Thule Society itself were outlawed and renamed, based on where that branch was located and where the boarder of Prussia was. The Prussians hated all think tanks they did not control because they hated anyone who might develop weapons which might defeat them. Or worse tell them "no". Although the Thule Society officially only lasted less than 18 months on paper. Its 109 previous names had nothing at all to do with the rise of the Third Reich.

To prevent being outlawed again, and the most important part was the Prussian Government would seize all paperwork, question/interrogate its members, and take its treasury. The new Thule Society formed a Political Party to build itself a shield wall. That Political Party instantly attracted the attention of the FreiKorp. Members began to join the DAP, but were not allowed to join the Thule Society. Over 6 to 8 months sufficient secret FreiKorp members joined to give them a solid voting block. In walked Adolf with orders from his Commanding Officer in the Prussian Army; go in, be not a threat, join, start to maneuver, bring to a vote some of our changes, remove the existing power base, invite 100s of your fellow Freikorp to join, then destroy the DAP in favor of a bran new named NAZI Party.

If we cannot get them out the old fashion way, we will join and cancer corrupt from within. The Germans formed the Thule Society, as an academic think tank. The Prussians wanted weapons. Two entirely separate cultures. The second operating with the mask of others to hide their true evil. In this case Thule and behind that mask German culture. Despite the fact they are Prussians.

Crusades
The Crusades are a very difficult and confusing subject to bring up. The Crusades began just a few years after the Ogle family from Northumberland arrived back in their homeland after defeating the Muslims in England. The Muslims were sent packing. From Mecca both the shia and sunni were more than a little angry about that. So they regrouped their army and sent them towards Anatolia peninsula to invade Europe from the east. Upon arriving in the area of Constantinople, the Ogles began to dismantle the Constantinople library and bring it out of harms way knowing the city was about to fall to Muslim Hands and the library would be obliterated like the last 10000 times Esau's descendants come across libraries they did not like.

The Ogle army was too strong by the time they reached Levant Jerusalem to attack, so the yet to be called that Teutonic Knights simply had to watch the Ogle family work under the temple mound, take out treasures, books, etc. and cart it back home. But they were not allowed near any of those Treasures. The overwhelming fear caused them to need to leave Levant Lands and travel to Slovakia areas, conquer them and set up their own kingdom. Prussia. The Prussians knew that their neighbor to the west were very close allies with the British. The two cultures shared technology between them. So all the Prussians had to do was wait for a while, then began to attack the Germans to gain access to the information found under the temple mound. Which they both did and proceeded to repeat pattern every day from 1250-present.

German wiki
Sam, the German Wikipedia describes the Vril society as complete fiction in the very first sentence. Andries 06:48, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)

 * It sounds like junk to me also, but appears to be a real story, if nothing else. I have never heard of it until I found it on nazi mysticism myself, but we need to be impartial. Can we find some sources which believe it existed? Does anyone today claim to be/have been a member? Where does this story come from, etc... Sam [Spade] 05:38, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)

 * The german article is very insightful, but is very short, w only german references. I think more verification would be best. Is this "vril" the source of the endlessly amusing "nazi's on the moon" stories? When I was young I studied paranormal/cult fringe theories, and the idea of nazi's on the moon was always quite funny to me as a boy, partially because of its possibilty (nazi's had the v-2 rocket, and most of the NASA space program came from operation paperclip... ;) Sam [Spade] 05:48, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)

It may be junk and it may be just amusing, yet there may also be things that might be verifiable too, such as the story of a twelve year old German princess who was supposedly recruited by von Sebottendorf of the Thule Gesellschaft, at her aunt's funeral, to become a trainee as a medium for the Vril Gesellschaft. If anyone wishes to try verifying any facts in this story, the girl's great aunt was Franzeska princess of Oettingen who died 25 March 1931 and, by the 15 September 1931, her great niece, also called Franzeska, was manifesting ectoplasm in occult rituals for Maria Orschitsch, as one of her Vril Damen or Vrilerinnen. They were given occult names such as Traute, Sigrun, Gudruna, and Heike. Supposedly, according to the story, Franzeska was considered special and gifted to contact the extraterrestrial race of Aldebaranians because she was considered "pure Aryan royalty". The technology for the "saucers" from the Jenseitflugmaschine of 1922 to the VRIL 7 of 1945 were supposed to be coming from these Aldebaran transmissions through the psychic girls. Nazi scientists were considered desirable by both Us and Soviet scientists shortly after the war, when Patton was given some documentation of the rocket program. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Horstwessel33 (talk • contribs) 17:36, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Not sure just how this format is supposed to go but I have some details about the escape of Maria Orsic, who headed up the Vril Society, in 1945. It was a nazi war criminal (who was incidentally never caught and tried) called Hans-Georg Schmidt von Altenstadt who had got out ahead of time when things started looking hopeless. Von Altenstadt was awarded the Iron Cross 8 May 1944, promoted to Major-General 1 July 1944, but still escaped 25 July 1944 wearing bandages over his eyes and faking a wound. He was a devotee of Maria Orsic and supposedly married one of her Vril maidens and helped Orsic escape in 1945. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LeslieElwoodBrooks (talk • contribs) 19:07, 11 December 2009 (UTC) Some more details about this. General von Altenstadt was married to the Vril Maiden called Franziska Oettingen who was the niece of one of Orsic's original supporters, Franziska Romana, who donated a diamond tiara to help finance the Vril Society before her death 25 March 1931. Her niece, Franziska Oettingen, was disowned by the Oettingen family when she became a Vril Maiden 15 September 1931. Von Altenstadt helped Orsic escape 11 March 1945 and none of the three was ever caught or tried. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LeslieElwoodBrooks (talk • contribs) 19:28, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

There is currently ( as of 7/10/2013) a photograph of Hans-Georg Schmidt von Altenstadt at [] if anyone can scan it for this wiki article soon because it is for sale for $88.00 and may not be there long.

Dispute
I will be removing the dispute header shortly, as we now have a great deal of references that many people believed/believe in "vril". The article should reall be focusing on vril rather than the society aspect... I think I may move the page. Sam [Spade] 06:16, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Orphan process

An orphan process is a computer process whose parent process has finished or terminated, though it remains running itself.

Unix-like
In a Unix-like operating system any orphaned process will be immediately adopted by an implementation-defined system process: the kernel sets the parent to this process. This operation is called re-parenting and occurs automatically. Even though technically the process has a system process as its parent, it is still called an orphan process since the process that originally created it no longer exists. In other systems orphaned processes are immediately terminated by the kernel. Most Unix systems have historically used init as the system process to which orphans are reparented, but in modern DragonFly BSD, FreeBSD, and Linux systems, an orphan process may be reparented to a "subreaper" process instead of init.

A process can be orphaned unintentionally, such as when the parent process terminates or crashes. The process group mechanism in most Unix-like operating systems can be used to help protect against accidental orphaning, where in coordination with the user's shell will try to terminate all the child processes with the "hangup" signal (SIGHUP), rather than letting them continue to run as orphans. More precisely, as part of job control, when the shell exits, because it is the "session leader" (its session id equals its process id), the corresponding login session ends, and the shell sends SIGHUP to all its jobs (internal representation of process groups).

It is sometimes desirable to intentionally orphan a process, usually to allow a long-running job to complete without further user attention, or to start an indefinitely running service or agent; such processes (without an associated session) are known as daemons, particularly if they are indefinitely running. A low-level approach is to fork twice, running the desired process in the grandchild, and immediately terminating the child. The grandchild process is now orphaned, and is not adopted by its grandparent, but rather by init. Higher-level alternatives circumvent the shell's hangup handling, either telling the child process to ignore SIGHUP (by using nohup), or removing the job from the job table or telling the shell to not send SIGHUP on session end (by using disown in either case). In any event, the session id (process id of the session leader, the shell) does not change, and the process id of the session that has ended is still in use until all orphaned processes either terminate or change session id (by starting a new session via ).

To simplify system administration, it is often desirable to use a service wrapper so that processes not designed to be used as services respond correctly to system signals. An alternative to keep processes running without orphaning them is to use a terminal multiplexer and run the processes in a detached session (or a session that becomes detached), so the session is not terminated and the process is not orphaned.

A server process is also said to be orphaned when the client that initiated the request unexpectedly crashes after making the request while leaving the server process running.

These orphaned processes waste server resources and can potentially leave a server starved for resources. However, there are several solutions to the orphan process problem:

 * 1) Termination is the most commonly used technique; in this case the orphan is killed.
 * 2) Reincarnation is a technique in which machines periodically try to locate the parents of any remote computations; at which point orphaned processes are killed.
 * 3) Expiration is a technique where each process is allotted a certain amount of time to finish before being killed.  If need be a process may "ask" for more time to finish before the allotted time expires.

St. Thomas More College

St. Thomas More College (STM) is a Catholic, undergraduate, liberal arts college located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, and is a federated college of the University of Saskatchewan.

History
St. Thomas More College (STM), named for St. Thomas More, is the only federated college at the University of Saskatchewan. The college was established by the Basilian Fathers in 1936, on the invitation of the president of the University of Saskatchewan to the Catholic bishop of Saskatoon. The Congregation of St. Basil is a Roman Catholic religious organization of ordained priests with headquarters in Toronto, Ontario. This congregation is different from the Order of St. Basil the Great, which is an Eastern Catholic monastic religious order based in Rome and serving primarily Ukrainian Catholics.

The Roman Catholic Basilian Fathers initiated the operation of Catholic colleges associated with non-denominational universities throughout Canada. The college was incorporated by an act of the Legislature of Saskatchewan in 1943, following formal approval by the senate and board of governors of the university. The act was amended in 1972 and 2001. The college is administratively and financially autonomous from the university. It receives direct provincial grants and is accountable to the provincial government. In 2006, the General Council of the Basilian Fathers announced that they will not be making any further appointments of Basilian priests to the college. The St. Thomas More College Amendment Act 2013 was passed in the provincial legislature making the St. Thomas More College Society the sponsor of the college. The passing of that act was the final formal step in the college's transition to the post-Basilian era.

The Institute for Stained Glass in Canada has documented the stained glass at St. Thomas More College.

In 2009, the College debuted its mascot, Reagan the Rooster, named after former students' union President, Reagan Seidler.

Programs
St. Thomas More College is academically integrated within the University of Saskatchewan however St. Thomas More offers a unique vision and mission of Catholic post-secondary education. The college's students receive University of Saskatchewan degrees, as STM, itself, does not grant degrees. The college cooperates with the College of Arts & Science in preparing students for all B.A. and B.Sc. degrees, as well as the B.F.A. and B.Mus. degrees. Students in the College of Arts & Science may register through St. Thomas More College, admission requirements, as well as fees, for both are the same. Enrollment in STM does not restrict choice of program or courses, and students may register with the college even if none of their classes in a given year are taught by the college. The college provides opportunities to explore and to live Christian values but imposes no obligation in this area.

The college faculty are members of the faculty of the College of Arts & Science and of the university council. Faculty appointments and promotion require the approval of the university to ensure that St. Thomas More classes are equivalent in standards to other university classes. STM employs full-time tenured, non-tenured, and part-time sessional faculty on its academic staff.

The college at present offers classes in these departments of arts and science: Anthropology, Archeology, Catholic Studies, Classical, Medieval & Renaissance Studies, Economics, English, Languages & Linguistics, History, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Religious Studies, Ukrainian, Spanish, and Sociology. Some of these courses are the same as those offered by the corresponding department of the College of Arts & Science, thus having the same course number and title, with the added advantage of having, on average, smaller class sizes. All classes transfer directly to the University of Saskatchewan. Whether the student are registered through STM or not, all students at the University of Saskatchewan studying on campus may take STM courses.

St. Thomas More College also offers additional opportunities not otherwise available to students at the University of Saskatchewan. One of these programs is the Community Service Learning (CSL) program in which students can choose to take part in valuable community service and volunteer work as part of some of their courses. This program also helps students to build connections between their community experience and their theoretical ("book") learning at university. A similar international study abroad experience is offered through the Intercordia program.

Finally, St Thomas More College is home to the Prairie Centre for the Study of Ukrainian Heritage, an academic unit of the college that supports programs and projects as well as instruction in the area of Ukrainian Studies.

Services
Students can join various organizations through STM including the St. Thomas More Students' Union, the University of Saskatchewan Ukrainian Students' Association, Newman Centre, Knights of Columbus, Newman Players, Development and Peace, STM Newman Choir, Pre-education Club, Pre-law Club, and In Medias Res – a literary journal.

There is a campus ministry team in the college who help provide spiritual support, faith programs, and community building services. Daily mass is also held in the college chapel throughout the school year.

STM offers a library with over 50,000 volumes as well as a cafeteria ("Choices").

Steve Cowper

Stephen Cambreleng Cowper (born August 21, 1938) is an American Democratic politician who was the sixth governor of Alaska from 1986 to 1990. He was governor during the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill.

Cowper is the CEO of Steve Cowper & Associates. He has also served on the boards of multiple energy-related companies in the US and Canada.

Early life and career
Cowper was born in 1938 in Petersburg, Virginia, to Stephanie (née Smith) and Marion Cowper. He was raised in Kinston, North Carolina. He received bachelor's and law degrees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and after serving in the U.S. Army Medical Corps and Army Reserve, he worked as a maritime lawyer in Norfolk, Virginia, for three years. Cowper moved to Fairbanks, Alaska, in 1968 and served as assistant district attorney for rural Alaska and Fairbanks.

In 1970, Cowper went to Vietnam and worked as a freelance correspondent throughout Asia. Upon returning to Alaska, he wrote a political column for the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, taught a college course on Alaska lands, was a partner in an air taxi and cargo business, and worked as a diver for a University of Alaska marine research team.

Political career
In 1974, Cowper was elected to the Alaska House of Representatives, where he served two terms. During his time in the House, he served as chairman of the Finance Committee (1977–1978), chairman of the Steering Council on Alaska Lands (1978), a member of the Subsistence Committee (1977–1978), and a member of the Alaska Advisory Committee for the Law of the Sea Conference (1978). In 1982, Cowper ran for governor, but narrowly lost the Democratic nomination to Bill Sheffield, who went on to win the general election.

Governor of Alaska (1986–1990)
Cowper ran for governor again in 1986, and defeated incumbent Sheffield in the August 26 primary by a 2–1 margin. He eventually won the November 4 general election, winning 47% of the vote against Republican state Senator Arliss Sturgulewski and Alaskan Independence Party candidate Joe Vogler.

Once in office, Cowper proposed reestablishing the state income tax to help close the state's billion-dollar deficit; this proposal was met with strong opposition. He advocated the expansion of the University of Alaska's international study program, hoped to establish an International Trade Center, and placed emphasis on the teaching of foreign languages and culture in state schools. In early 1989, he announced that he would not seek reelection in 1990, a decision considered a surprise by some observers.

Post-governorship
After serving as governor, Cowper served as a visiting fellow at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in 1991, and was a Co-Chairman of the Pacific Rim Fisheries Conference in 1994 and 1997.

Since 1991, he has been the CEO of Steve Cowper & Associates, a group that advises companies and governments on energy-related initiatives. He has also served on the boards of multiple energy-related companies in the US and Canada. As of 2010, Cowper lived in Austin, Texas with his third wife and family.

Bill Sheffield

William Jennings Sheffield Jr. (June 26, 1928 – November 4, 2022) was an American Democratic politician who was the fifth governor of Alaska from 1982 to 1986. Sheffield's term in the governor's mansion was marked by controversy including attempts to have him impeached.

Background
Sheffield was born in Spokane, Washington. He served in the United States Army from 1946 to 1949 and went to DeVry University, then DeForest Training School. Sheffield moved to Alaska in 1953 to sell and service home appliances for Sears. He became active in the local chamber of commerce group, where his participation enabled him to overcome a severe stutter. Sheffield later founded a hospitality business, Sheffield Enterprises, that grew to own and operate 19 Sheffield House hotels across Alaska and in Whitehorse, Yukon. He sold the business to Holland America Line in 1987.

In addition to his business career, Sheffield was involved in politics and government as a Democrat, and was a delegate to numerous local, state, and national party conventions. He served on the Anchorage Planning Commission from 1960 to 1963, and the Anchorage Charter Commission in 1976. In addition, Sheffield served as chair of the state parole board and the University of Alaska Foundation Board.

He died at his Anchorage home on November 4, 2022. He was 94.

Governorship
While governor, Sheffield pushed an unpopular bill through the Alaska state legislature to consolidate the state's time zones. Prior to the passage of this bill, Alaska was spread over four time zones (Pacific, Yukon, Alaska-Hawaii, and Bering). Sheffield's bill placed virtually the entire state (with the sole exception of the Aleutians, starting just west of Dutch Harbor) into the Yukon Time Zone (which was then renamed the Alaska Time Zone). Initially, this was poorly received; those in the panhandle lost their sense of unity with the west coast of the United States, and those in the heartland of the state were placed, in effect, in a perpetual daylight saving time. More than twenty years later, the state legislature was still debating the issue, with some members wanting to return the panhandle and capital to Seattle time, and with others claiming that Sheffield broke his promise to revisit the change after a one-year trial period.

Impeachment inquiry
As governor, Sheffield was brought before a grand jury investigating a contract that had been awarded by the state amid allegations of favoritism and lack of due process in the awarding process. Sheffield was not indicted. The grand jury report urged the impeachment of Sheffield. The report was leaked to the public after an anonymous source alerted the members of the news media that a waste receptacle in the court building in which grand jury deliberations had been held contained a copy of the report. After the report was leaked, deliberations about an impeachment began. An impeachment inquiry was conducted to determine whether the Alaska Senate would impeach. An impeachment would have led to an impeachment trial in the Alaska House of Representatives. By a 3–2 vote, the committee running the inquiry into Sheffield voted to send the Senate a report concluding that there was insufficient evidence against Sheffield to warrant an impeachment. Instead of impeachment, Senate opted to instead pass a resolution condemning Sheffield's gubernatorial administration for favoritism.

Later career
After leaving the position of Governor, Sheffield served as chairman of the board of directors for Alaska Railroad from 1985 to 1997. In 1997 he was promoted to president and CEO of the railroad, where he served until 2001. As of 2008, he was on the railroad's Board of Directors as vice chairman.

Morris Fuller Benton

Morris Fuller Benton (November 30, 1872 – June 30, 1948) was an American typeface designer who headed the design department of the American Type Founders (ATF), for which he was the chief type designer from 1900 to 1937.

Many of Benton's designs, such as his large family of related sans-serif or "gothic" typefaces, including Alternate Gothic, Franklin Gothic, and News Gothic, are still in everyday use.

Typefaces
Benton is credited as America's most prolific designer of metal type, having (with his team) completed 221 typefaces, including revivals of historical models, like Bodoni and Cloister; original designs, such as Hobo, Bank Gothic, and Broadway; and adding new weights to existing faces, such as Century, Goudy Old Style and Cheltenham. Although he did not invent the concept, Benton working at ATF pioneered the concept of families of typeface designs, allowing consistency of appearance in different sizes, widths and weights. This allowed ATF to capitalise on a successful typeface's popularity and facilitated coherent layout and graphic design; its 1923 specimen book described its approach of creating families which could allow advertisers to "talk at command with varying emphasis and orchestral power [rather than using] a medley of display types."

Benton worked as the team leader of designers responsible for creating a basic design and then adapting it to different sizes and weights. He considered his work as a designer important and wrote a brief list of typefaces he considered his most important work in 1936, shortly before his retirement. Benton was relatively retiring in life: a 1936 interview described him as "one of the most difficult men to interview I have ever talked to...try to pin some honour on him, or give him credit for some achievement, and he will modestly sidestep with the remark that ‘Lady Luck helped me a lot there!’"

Technology
In addition to his strong aesthetic design sense, Benton was a master of the technology of his day. He read mechanical engineering at Cornell University, graduating in 1896. His father, Linn Boyd Benton, invented the pantographic engraving machine, which was capable not only of scaling a single font design pattern to a variety of sizes while compensating for the size change, but could also condense, extend, and slant the design (mathematically, these are cases of affine transformation, which is the fundamental geometric operation of most systems of digital typography today, including PostScript). Morris used these machines with his father at ATF, during which these machines were refined to an impressive level of precision.

Theo Rehak, the current owner of much ATF typecasting equipment, and author of the definitive treatise Practical Typecasting, explains that the Bentons demanded that any deviation in machining or casting be within two ten-thousandths of an inch. Most modern machine shops are equipped to measure down to one thousandth of an inch. As an advertising device, in 1922 ATF manufactured a piece of type eight points tall (0.11 inch) containing the entire Lord's Prayer in 13 lines of text, using a cutting tool roughly equivalent to a 2000-dpi printer.

Fazoli's

Fazoli's System Management, LLC., doing business as Fazoli's, is an American fast casual restaurant chain headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky. It was founded in 1988 and is now owned by FAT Brands. As of September 2023, there are 211 Fazoli's located nationwide. The restaurant chain specializes in Italian-American cuisine and dishes.

History
In 1988, the concept of the casual Italian-American dinner, Fazoli's, was set. Two years later, the Fazoli's system was established. Fazoli's started with five locations in the Lexington, Kentucky, area. Fazoli's was originally managed by Jerrico Inc. but later was put up for sale and sold to Duskin Co. Ltd so that Jerrico Inc. could focus on Long John Silver's. Duskin Co. Ltd later formed Seed Restaurant Group with the help of Entrepreneur Kuni Toyoda. Once Kuni Toyoda and Duskin Co. Ltd formed Seed Restaurant Group, this group began its ownership of the Fazoli's system.

During the mid-1990s, the chain expanded rapidly. By 1992, it had grown to include 35 restaurants within Kentucky, Indiana, and Florida. This almost doubled in 1993 when Fazoli's added 25 more locations. During this time, the operations of Fazoli's increased from $500,000 per restaurant per year in total volume to $1 million per restaurant per year in total volume within five years. This rapid financial success made the expansion of Fazoli's easy and with the start-up cost ranging from $150,000 to $500,000 most locations were able to turn a profit within the first year of opening.

In October 2006, Seed Restaurant Group sold the company to Sun Capital Partners for an undisclosed amount. At the time of the sale, Fazoli's had a total of 319 locations, 179 of which were franchised, in 32 states. As part of the deal, Sun Capital replaced Toyoda with McDonald's veteran Robert Weissmueller as Fazoli's president and chief executive officer. In June 2008, Weissmueller retired and was replaced with Carl Howard. When Howard took over, the company was suffering from declining sales and massive store closing as a result of severe cost-cutting measures which were implemented by the previous management. The number of restaurants had been steadily declining after reaching a peak of 400 locations in 2004. In July 2008, a struggling franchisee in Arizona announced that it was closing all 13 of its Fazoli's restaurants in the state.

In July 2015, Sun Capital Partners sold the chain to Sentinel Capital Partners for an undisclosed amount. At the time of the sale, Fazoli's had 124 company-owned and 89 franchised locations in 26 states. The company's sole remaining location in Southern Nevada closed in 2016 after 15 years of operation.

In November 2021, Sentinel Capital Partners sold Fazoli's to FAT Brands Inc. for $130 million. At the time of the sale, Fazoli's owned and operated 220 restaurants in 28 states.

In 2022, Carl Howard retired from his role as CEO after 14 years with the brand and was replaced by Doug Bostick, the brand's SVP of Operations and Franchise Development.

Corporate overview
Fazoli's restaurants operate in 26 states and has more than 200 restaurants. Fazoli's plans to expand overseas to Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman. Fazoli's made a deal with the World Franchise Associates that assures them the ability to build restaurants in those locations. Fazoli's also opened its first college campus location at the Texas Tech University in 2014. The expansion onto the TTU campus is part of the plan to grow the company via non-traditional locations.

Corporate headquarters are located on Palumbo Drive in Lexington.

Products
During the early years before the help of Kuni Toyoda, Fazoli's main product was pizza. Toyoda realized that it was not feasible for Fazoli's to compete with the large pizza chains and the menu needed to focus on pasta. With this switch, the pasta recipes quickly needed to be upgraded. Toyoda spearheaded changes to make the pasta firmer and create larger portions.

In the early 2000s, low-carbohydrate diets became popular, decreasing sales and forcing Fazoli's to rethink its menu again. In 2004, the company added eight menu items with 8 grams of fat or less and also added items featuring more vegetables and protein. The company later hired Elizabeth Somer to help with the development of low-calorie and healthy dishes. In 2005, Fazoli's announced that there would no longer be trans fat in its bread sticks.

In 2017, Fazoli's announced the launch of its first app-based loyalty program with mobile ordering capabilities.

Today, Fazoli's menu does not consist of classic Italian dishes, but of Italian-American dishes, baked pastas, their signature Submarinos sandwiches, and other foods, such as:

 * Twice Baked Lasagna
 * Chicken Parmigiano
 * Seasonal salads
 * Meatball da Vinci
 * Cheese or Pepperoni Pizza
 * New York Style Cheesecake
 * Baked Spaghetti

Maria Dermoût

Maria Dermoût (15 June 1888 – 27 June 1962) was an Indo-European novelist, considered one of the greats of Dutch literature and as such an important proponent of Dutch Indies literature. In December 1958 Time magazine praised the translation of Maria Dermoût's The Ten Thousand Things, and named it one of the best books of the year.

Whitney Balliett of The New Yorker wrote: "'Mrs. Dermout, in the manner of Thoreau and the early Hemingway, is an extraordinary sensualist. [...] in passages of a startling, unadorned, three-dimensional clarity; often one can almost touch what she describes.'"

Biography
Helena Anthonia Maria Elisabeth Ingerman was born on 15 June 1888 on a sugar plantation in Pati, Java, Dutch East Indies, and educated in the Netherlands. She wrote in Dutch. After completing her education she returned to Java, where she married Issac Johannes Dermoût and became known as Maria Dermoût. She travelled extensively across Java and the Moluccas with her husband. In 1933 her husband retired, and the couple settled in the Netherlands. Maria Dermoût was widowed in 1952.

Maria Dermoût died in The Hague on 27 June 1962. She is the subject of the biography ''Geheim Indië. Het leven van Maria Dermoût 1888-1962'' ("The Secret East Indies. The Life of Maria Dermoût 1888-1962") in 2000 by the Indo-European (Dutch-Indonesian) author Kester Freriks.

Body of work
Dermoût turned to writing early in life, but remained largely unpublished until she was 63. She wrote two novels, both of which were not published until she was in her sixties: The Ten Thousand Things (De tienduizend dingen, 1955) and Days Before Yesterday — also published as Just Yesterday (Nog pas gisteren, 1951). There are English translations of her novels by Hans Koning. Some of her short stories were published in translation in magazines such as Vogue during the 1960s. In Dutch, five short-story collections by her were also published.

She is viewed as one of the giants among Dutch-Indies literary writers, and The Ten Thousand Things in particular is widely regarded as an idiosyncratic masterpiece. The book has been translated into thirteen languages. As Hans Koning puts it in his Introduction to the New York Review Books edition of the novel:

"Dermoût was sui generis, a case all her own. She did not write about her Indies as a Dutch woman, or as a Javanese or an Ambonese. Hers was a near-compassionate disdain for the dividing lines, the hatreds and the fears ... She painted landscapes, still lifes and people in a world of myth and mystery."

Although not conventionally autobiographical, both of her novels draw from events in Dermoût's own life. Like the central character in The Ten Thousand Things, Dermoût lost her son in violent circumstances (he died in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp). The reminiscences of Javanese childhood experiences described in Days Before Yesterday are based on, but do not mirror, her own childhood in the tropics.

Author Oek de Jong appropriately wrote:

"'Still, Maria Dermoût an author for the happy few. Is she a writer's writer? Certainly not. She is a storyteller par excellence. Her stories are subtle, but they are also accessible. Nonetheless she remains an author for the happy few, equal to the greats of Dutch prose, but much less known than they are. There are many reasons for her modest literary reputation: her own modesty, the small body of her work, the brevity of her literary career. But it is mainly her work itself that is the cause. It possesses something that wards off hordes of readers, yet still manages to attract a handful, who then embrace it and spread the word of its exquisite nature. The shell seekers among the readers, the slow walkers, those who stop and turn and bend over to pick up that one beautiful shell - they recognize her extraordinary work.'"

Ames (automobile)

The Ames company, originally established in 1881 by Frederick A. Ames, was a buggy manufacturer and later an American automobile manufacturer in Owensboro, Kentucky, from 1910 to 1925. A beetle-backed "gentleman's roadster" and a five-passenger tourer were the first models offered for sale by the company. The company also produced replacement bodies for the Ford Model T. At its peak, the company produced about 30,000 vehicles. The last model the company made was called the "Kentucky Thoroughbred". In 1922, the company again remade itself, manufacturing furniture under the name F. A. Ames Corporation until 1941, when the company filed for bankruptcy and most of its assets were purchased by the Whitehall Furniture Co. of Owensboro.

Frederick A. Ames died in 1925 at the age of 60. At the time of his death, he was reported to have vast real-estate holdings in Owensboro and Atlanta, Georgia. His widow, the former Mary M. McMannon, died in 1933. Although the Ames had no children of their own, Mary's niece, Marie had been raised in their home as an adopted child, and inherited most of Ames' fortune.

Keith Harvey Miller

Keith Harvey Miller (March 1, 1925 – March 2, 2019) was an American Republican politician from Alaska. Miller was the second secretary of state of Alaska under Walter Hickel. He became the third governor of Alaska after Hickel’s resignation to become U.S. Secretary of the Interior. Under his tenure, Alaska came into sudden wealth after an oil lease sale on the North Slope created a revenue of $900 million.

Early life
Keith Harvey Miller was born in Seattle, Washington on March 1, 1925, one of four sons of Hopkins Keith Miller (1901–1981) and Sarah Margaret (née Harvey) Miller (1903–1960). He grew up in the rural outskirts of Seattle before the family moved to the vicinity of Bothell, Washington in 1939. Miller attended and graduated from high school in Bothell. He briefly studied at the University of Idaho before joining the United States Army Air Forces, serving during the last two years of World War II.

Early career and move to Alaska
After leaving the military, Miller established a holly farm in Olympia, Washington in 1946. During this time, he spent portions of several summers working in the Territory of Alaska and also studied at the University of Washington, Seattle, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1952. Miller sold the holly farm in 1953, the same year he married Diana Mary Doyle in Seattle and established a collection agency there. He sold the agency in 1957 after being hired by the Internal Revenue Service, who stationed him in Anchorage, Alaska.

Early political career
Miller began his political career in 1962 with his election to the Alaska House of Representatives., where he served one term. He served as Secretary of State of Alaska (now the Lieutenant Governor of Alaska) from 1966 until Hickel resigned to become United States Secretary of the Interior under President Richard M. Nixon, on January 29, 1969. He was promptly elevated to the position of Governor of Alaska.

Governor of Alaska
Under Governor Miller, Alaska completed the sale of land leases in Prudhoe Bay, which brought a windfall of $900 million. The funds from the oil leases were seven times the state’s budget and seven years after he first proposed an investment fund for oil royalties, Governor Jay Hammond established the Alaska Permanent Fund.

He lobbied extensively for the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. He pushed the Congress to approve the pipeline over the objections of Federal Judge George Hart and the Alaska Legislature for funds to build a road to the Prudhoe Bay Oil Field.

In 1970, seeking election to a full term, he saw his popularity diminish as his former running mate, Walter Hickel, delayed issuance of the permit to build the pipeline. He faced a primary election challenge from two-term Congressman Howard Wallace Pollock. He defeated Pollock, but faced William A. Egan, who was Alaska’s first governor, in the general election. Egan won the race, 52.4-46.1. Only after the 1973 oil crisis did Congress pass the Trans-Alaska Pipeline Authorization Act that Miller sought.

Later career
In 1972, Miller was elected to a four-year term in the Alaska Senate. That term was cut short due to a challenge of the redistricting plan drawn up by the Alaska Supreme Court in 1972, centered on the apportionment of Senate districts in Anchorage. The court drew up a new plan in 1974. Rather than run for reelection in the new, Democratic-leaning district, Miller made one more campaign for governor in the Republican primary. He faced Hickel and Jay Hammond, who became the party’s nominee. In 1977, Governor Hammond named Miller to a seat on the Alaska Transportation Commission to serve as its chair.

Death
Miller died from pancreatic cancer while at a hospice in Anchorage a day after his 94th birthday on March 2, 2019. His wife, Jean Cuffel Miller, preceded him in death.

AMG (automobile)

Between 1903 and 1905, the AMG automobile was a Swedish automobile manufactured by the AB Motorfabriken i Göteborg.

The company had been building stationary engines since 1897; in the first years of the new century they began importing French Richard-Brasier cars. Swedish production of the marque was considered, but the plans failed. A new model, using twin-cylinder air-cooled engines bought from the German Fafnir company, was shown in 1903. These tended to overheat, and as a result they were soon changed to a water-cooled model. The engines were the only automobile part that were imported; everything else was made in Sweden. Around 10 cars were built before the company failed in 1905; one was used regularly until 1928.

St. Norbert College

St. Norbert College (SNC) is a private Norbertine liberal arts college in De Pere, Wisconsin. Founded in October 1898 by Abbot Bernard Pennings, a Norbertine priest and educator, the school was named after Saint Norbert of Xanten. In 1952, the college became coeducational. As of April 2023, the school's enrollment is 2,009 students.

History
St. Norbert College was established when Abbot Bernard Pennings, a Dutch immigrant priest from the Premonstratensian Berne Abbey of Heeswijk, the Netherlands, founded the college to train young men for the priesthood. Francis Ignatius Van Dyke, a seminarian, was the first and, at the time, only student. St. Norbert is the first and only institution of higher learning in the world sponsored by the Premonstratensian order. Pennings later started a commerce program at the college for lay students before retiring in 1955.

St. Norbert's second president, Dennis Burke, expanded the college, anticipating the student population would eventually reach 2,000. Robert Christin, who became president in 1968, implemented the current course system and the academic divisional structure. In 1973, Neil Webb, a former faculty member and vice president, became president. Webb established the first permanent endowment for the school. Serving as the college's president from 1983 to 2000, Thomas Manion led the expansion of facilities and the development of additional academic programs. Enrollment topped 2,000. Thomas Kunkel, former dean of the Philip Merrill College of Journalism at the University of Maryland, College Park, became the college's seventh president in 2008. Since then, the college has constructed the Mulva Family Fitness & Sports Center, the Gehl-Mulva Science Center, the Cassandra Voss Center, Michels Commons, Schneider Stadium, the Mulva Library, Gries Hall, Ariens Family Welcome Center and Todd Wehr Hall.

Brian J. Bruess, a 1990 graduate of St. Norbert College and former executive vice president and chief operating officer of St. Catherine University in St. Paul, Minnesota, became president in 2017. Although he announced on November 1, 2019, that he would not continue as president after the end of the 2019–20 academic year, uproar from the college community led to further discussion between Bruess and the SNC Board of Trustees that resulted in a multiyear contract. Four members of the board, including the chair, resigned shortly thereafter. In March 2022, Bruess announced his appointment as the inaugural president of the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University, beginning in July 2022. Kunkel returned to serve as interim president for the 2022-23 academic year. Laurie Joyner became St. Norbert College's ninth president, and the college's first female president, in July 2023.

Academics
St. Norbert College offers undergraduate programs in more than 80 areas of study, leading to a Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Music, or Bachelor of Business Administration degree. A Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree is also offered through a joint effort with the Bellin College of Nursing. The most popular undergraduate majors are business administration, biology, and education. In addition to its undergraduate offerings, St. Norbert College offers three master's-level graduate programs in business administration, theological studies and liberal studies. The Master of Theological Studies department hosts a branch program in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where program studies take place at the Norbertine Abbey of Santa Maria de la Vid. Students on that campus can earn the full M.T.S. degree. In 2015, the college began offering an MBA program through its new Donald J. Schneider School of Business & Economics. The Medical College of Wisconsin's Green Bay campus, which serves the northeast Wisconsin region, is in the new Gehl-Mulva Science Center at St. Norbert.

In 2022, St. Norbert was ranked 117th among "National Liberal Arts Colleges" by U.S. News & World Report. The college is also ranked 118th among "Liberal Arts Universities" in Forbes's 2019 list of America's Best Colleges.

The Mulva Library provides digital and in-person reference services; hosts the Digital Commons, an institutional repository of documents, media, and other materials online; and provides a makerspace with technologies for the academic community. It is the home of the Center for Norbertine Studies, the international center of research on the Premonstratensians and Norbertines. The library also holds the college archives and the college's café (Ed's Café).

Campus
The campus consists of 111 acre, much of which borders the Fox River. As a residential campus, students typically walk to classes year-round. The many trees and statues on campus provide a scenic view, especially in fall, when the foliage changes colors. Directly behind the Campus Center is a pavilion and marina where St. Norbert hosts a picnic for students to kick off the school year. This shoreline area is also the venue for "Knights on the Fox" – a free summer concert series open to the community.

Important social buildings include the Ray Van Den Heuvel Family Campus Center (Campus Center), which includes a fitness center, gymnasium, and diner (Phil's Diner) and a reading lounge with a picturesque view overlooking the Fox River. There is also an events hall for movies and public speakers. Special events put on by student groups are also held there, such as comedian appearances and awareness speeches.

Old St. Joseph Church, which is still an active church, was built in 1890 and renovated in 1998. It is located on the site of a former mission chapel that was erected for early settlers by the French-born Jesuit priest Rev. Charles Albane in 1676. The chapel stood for nearly 200 years. An all-wood structure was built in 1870, but it burned to the ground after a lightning strike in 1889. It was rebuilt in its current form as a brick structure in 1890. The church contains a statue/shrine of Saint Joseph that was crowned by Pope Leo XIII in 1891. Novena devotions are held on Wednesday.

The old St. Boniface Church (built in 1883) is owned by St. Norbert College. In 2013, it was renamed Dudley Birder Hall in honor of longtime St. Norbert College music professor, Dudley Birder. It was also converted into a performance arts center following a $1.7 million renovation. It is now used for recitals, chamber concerts, Dudley Birder Chorale rehearsals, and public lectures.

Much of the campus is in what is now the St. Norbert College Historic District.

Student housing
About 86% of students live on campus in residence halls, apartments and townhouses. St. Norbert requires all traditional undergraduate students not registered as commuters to live on campus. Freshman housing includes three traditional residence hall options: Madelaine-Lorraine Hall (co-ed), Sensenbrenner Hall (Co-ed), and Bergstrom Hall (co-ed Honors students). Campus housing options for sophomores include Mary Minahan McCormick Hall, Michels Hall, and Victor McCormick Hall. Upperclassmen enjoy single-person dorm rooms such as Burke Hall, the Townhouses and Carriage House (apartment-like housing), college-owned houses and college-owned apartments, including Gries, Xanten and Prémontré Halls.

Student involvement
There are more than 100 registered student clubs and organizations on campus. St. Norbert encourages its students to become involved in their community through community service and by participating in one of the 15 fraternities, sororities, and independent social groups. The school also has eight National Honor Society chapters, two student publications, and eight musical and performance ensembles. A major activity that St. Norbert students participate in is the annual "Into The Streets" community service project that provides service to organizations in De Pere and neighboring communities. This event is staffed by first-year students, staff and faculty, and is part of the First-Year Experience program.

In 2013, the old St. John's Lutheran Church (originally built in 1932) was reopened as the Cassandra Voss Center following a $2.7 million renovation. It was named after former St. Norbert College student Cassandra Voss, who died in a car accident at age 21. Before her death, she was on track to become St. Norbert College's first student to graduate with a major in women's and gender studies. The building now features offices, study space, performance space, a kitchen, a classroom, and a library. The Cassandra Voss Center offers a variety of programs "exploring intersectional issues of identity and inclusion" and "fostering dialogue on topics related to justice and identity including racism, sexism, homophobia, and classism".

Greek life
Greek life at St. Norbert includes four sororities and three fraternities, as well as two Greek governing groups. Greek groups sponsor fund-raising activities, food drives, and benefits to support charities. Greek groups collectively completed a total of 2,117 hours of service and raised $9,638 for their respective philanthropies during the 2015–16 school year.

Fraternities
There are three fraternities on the St. Norbert campus: Kappa Sigma (ΚΣ), Phi Delta Theta (ΦΔΘ), and Tau Kappa Epsilon (ΤΚΕ).

Sororities
There are four sororities on the St. Norbert campus: Alpha Xi Delta (ΑΞΔ), Delta Phi Epsilon (ΔΦΕ), Kappa Beta Gamma (ΚΒΓ), and Theta Phi Alpha (ΘΦΑ).

Athletics
The St. Norbert College Green Knights participate in NCAA Division III athletics and were members of the Midwest Conference from 1982 through the 2020–21 season. In fall 2021, they joined the Northern Athletic Collegiate Conference. St. Norbert offers 23 varsity sports including: football, men's and women's volleyball, men's and women's soccer, men's and women's golf, men's and women's tennis, men's and women's cross country, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's hockey, men's and women's swimming and diving, softball, baseball, men's and women's track and field, cheerleading, and dance.

The Green Knights men's hockey team has appeared in 19 NCAA Division III Tournaments since 1997. The team has 12 Frozen Four appearances and won the national championship in 2008, 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2018, while placing as national runner-up in 2004, 2006, 2010 and 2016.

The Green Knights football team has won 17 Midwest Conference championships since joining the league in 1984.

The Green Bay Packers have conducted training camp on the St. Norbert campus since 1958, making this the NFL's longest training camp relationship between a team and school. In exchange, the Packers donate their used equipment and provide St. Norbert yearly grants.

Well im a 15 year old girl who has had to deal with it. And I hate how people who have it say they can't play sports. Thats a lie. I play softball,football,basketball and throw discuss

Reforming this article to be accurate and up-to-date, and also renaming to match the proper naming of the syndrome
Facts:

A. There isn't any "Klippel Trenaunay Weber" syndrome. It is simply Klippel Trenaunay Syndrome. Doctors have been misdiagnosing this for quite a while. However, it is agreed upon by most doctors, including those found at the Mayo Clinic, Boston Children's Hospital, Cincinnati Children's Hospital, and at the Klippel Trenaunay support group website. The Weber portion is actually part of a separate syndrome.

B. The symptoms are far too inaccurate. My guess is that the article only represents possibly half, or even less of KTS (Klippel Trenaunay Syndrome) affected people.

C. The treatments provided are sorely out of date, inaccurate, and possibly biased. Sclerotherapy, while a relatively new procedure, is only applicable in specific cases, and is not a cure-all for the syndrome, not by a long shot. Also, "debulkings" have had a decent success rate, especially as technology has improved over the past couple decades. There are also other non-invasive treatments that are not even mentioned.

D. The article itself is fairly old and needs a lot more content.

As such, I'll be making my best effort over the coming weeks to improve this article, and also to move it to its proper place. If you have any comments, questions or wish to help out, let me know!

Adding reference: "Terminology

The medical community at times has used the terms Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome and Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome interchangeably. The consensus today is to distinguish K-T as hypertrophy and varicosity associated with port-wine staining; K-T-W ( more correctly called Parkes- Weber Syndrome) is similar but includes significant arteriovenous malfomations with shunting.

PWS can refer both to port wine stain, a component of K-T, and Parkes-Weber Syndrome." 66.91.252.11 (talk) 18:35, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Amherst (automobile)

The Amherst was a Canadian automobile manufactured in Amherstburg in 1911. A distinctive feature of the car was a demountable body that could be fitted behind the front seats to convert the car into a light truck.

The car was financed by backers in Detroit, Michigan, but they withdrew their support before production commenced. Only three cars were built before the company failed.

Talk:Yesterday

Redirect?
Johnleemk set a redirect from Talk:Yesterday to Talk:Yesterday (Song). I fail to see why the talk for a disambiguation page should redirect to one of the disambiguated pages. I'm removing it for now; should anyone disagree, please explain why you think this is needed. --Pathoschild 11:43, 28 September 2005
 * Just to clarify, that was a mix-up caused by the fact that Yesterday (song) used to reside at Yesterday. When I moved it, the talk page was moved also, and the software automatically set this talk page to redirect to the talk page of Yesterday (song). Johnleemk | Talk 16:01, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * All is explained then. Thanks. --Pathoschild 11:43, 28 September 2005

second paragraph
The second paragraph seems childish to me, like something a 10 year old would say to confuse his classmates. Also, I think that most people know how "yesterday" works, and that explaining day after, before, and so on is sort of irrelevant. I'm deleting it.
 * I am sorry you feel that way, but I don't like it is no reason for reversion.(3ucky(3all 21:28, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

removed
I just removed the Boyz II Men cover version of Yesterday from the page, as this cover version doesn't even have its own article, and according to the original's article "the Guinness Book of Records suggests over 3000 different cover versions to date." I don't see any reason this particular cover version deserves a mention, while none of the other does. BsL (talk) 15:56, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Error?
The calculation seems to be wrong: Yesterday is the day before today. Yesterday was September 0, 2008 (UTC). Mamen (talk) 15:58, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Again, quite wrong: At the Prime Meridian, yesterday's date was 30 November 2010 (UTC). 2010-12-07. Yesterday is NOT a week ago? I'm thinking of removing this unless someone has a better plan? 76.121.183.171 (talk) 01:17, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * The date is correct for me. Perhaps you're viewing a cached version. Try purging your cache. Anemone  Projectors  03:02, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Plase fix issue with date. The date is always the day before page was edited last time, not the day before today. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.79.106.212 (talk) 20:03, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Why is there no article for "Yesterday"?
Why is there no article for "Yesterday"? I mean the yesterday as in the day before today meaning. Why not? I always wanted to know why "yesterday" is called "yesterday". Sailor_Moon (talk) 22:17, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
 * There's a link to the wiktionary in the article (yesterday) which has some etymology information. -- Amalthea Talk 22:41, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
 * What could we put in the article? See WP:NOTADICTIONARY.  McLerristarr |  Mclay1  03:42, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
 * We could list all the things that happened yesterday ;-) Anemone  Projectors  13:51, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Placement of the Beatles song
Is there a reason why we can't place the Beatles song higher up on the page. Like it or not, there was a reason it was the primary topic here for more than a decade (and still should be if not for one of the worst closes I've seen).  Calidum Talk To Me 14:01, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I see the fun some of you have been having with this ;). May I suggest a compromise? That the music sub-heading becomes the first heading, with songs the first sub-heading and the Beatle song top of the list of songs, thereby being the 3rd entry on the page. --Richhoncho (talk) 14:13, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
 * That would work for me.  Calidum Talk To Me 22:28, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Done. If anybody is unhappy please discuss here to reach a new consensus. --Richhoncho (talk) 22:35, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

I'm okay with that, although I prefer Calidum's original formulation. In addition, the top section is pretty busy (and not standard style). Anyone object to me making changes - which of course can be altered later. Normally would be bold, but not after the longish move discussion. --John (User:Jwy/talk) 23:18, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Personally I think Film should always come before Music as generally shorter, and generally more notable. In ictu oculi (talk) 03:17, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree with you, IIO, but in the interest of peace and understanding and offering an olive branch to those editors who think the WP:AT POLICY that reads Consistency – The title is consistent with the pattern of similar articles' titles. Many of these patterns are listed (and linked) in the box of Topic-specific conventions on article titles. i.e. SONGDAB doesn't apply to them. I am sure in a few years films will be back towards the top and nobody will care. --Richhoncho (talk) 08:45, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
 * It may be a general rule that films come first, but can anyone honestly say any of the films on the page come close to the notability of the song in question?  Calidum Talk To Me 11:56, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I think the application of what is primary use, primary topic, more notable and the like is disruptive and not beneficial to an encyclopedia. If you don't believe me just look at this discussion and the RMs. If this was a paper encyclopedia the difference would be in the size of the article. I'd stick with alphabetical and be done with it. However we have a compromise which looks like all are prepared to accept - no point rocking the boat further. Cheers. --Richhoncho (talk) 13:36, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
 * If we're so concerned about style at this dab page it's useful to look at what MOS:DAB actually says. Under WP:DABORDER it says "In cases where a small number of main topics are significantly more likely to be the reader's target, several of the most common meanings may be placed at the top, with other meanings below." As it was shown that a significant majority of readers are looking for the Beatles song, it shouldn't be buried. Either it can go at the top along with Yesterday (past) or it can stay where it in the current arrangement, so long as readers can find it easily.--Cúchullain t/ c 14:21, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

The Yesterday topic is an unusual one for DAB and I am not surprised there is some discussion - and compared to some this discussion has been mild. The thing is, the DAB page doesn't have a direct correlation in "real" encyclopedia. The entries would be contiguous and you'd flip through a few pages to find what you like. Here, we have special navigation pages that can adjust and be more efficient for most readers. The WP:MOSDAB tries to codify this so that pages can be useful and quick. At times, like here, this purpose is at odds with what people might expect. I'm okay with that driving decisions on the page, I just want people to understand the MOSDAB issues before (at least as I see it) deciding to make an exception. --John (User:Jwy/talk) 02:32, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

As I first suggested in the discussion of the recent requested move of "Yesterday" to "Yesterday (Beatles song)", that move having been implemented, the title "Yesterday" should be a redirect to "Yesterday (Beatles song)", as the latter very clearly meets the definition of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. The disambiguation page should be left at "Yesterday (disambiguation)". — Jaydiem (talk) 16:57, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
