Mike Lowell

Michael Averett Lowell (born February 24, 1974) is a Puerto Rican former Major League Baseball third baseman. During a 13-year career, Lowell played for the New York Yankees (1998), Florida Marlins (1999–2005), and the Boston Red Sox (2006–2010). With the Red Sox, he was named MVP of the World Series.

Personal life
Lowell was born in Puerto Rico to Carl and Beatriz Lowell on February 24, 1974. His parents were born in Cuba, and are of Irish and Spanish ancestry. His family relocated to Miami, Florida, when Lowell was four years old. He has always identified himself as both Cuban and Puerto Rican. He attended elementary school at Epiphany Catholic School in South Miami, Florida. As a high school sophomore at Christopher Columbus High School, he was selected to the varsity baseball team but did not get playing time, so he transferred to Coral Gables Senior High School for his junior year.

In 1992, Lowell graduated from Coral Gables Senior High School in Coral Gables, Florida, where he had a 4.0 GPA and was a star player on the baseball team. There, he met future wife Bertica, a member of the school's nationally recognized Gablettes dance team, of which she became coach years later. They have one daughter, Alexis Ileana Lowell, and one son named, Anthony. In 2006, Lowell's sister, Cecilia, married Carlos Curbelo, who was a United States Congressman from 2015 to 2019.

Lowell's autobiography, Deep Drive: A Long Journey to Finding the Champion Within, was published on May 6, 2008. On February 19, 1999, Lowell was diagnosed with testicular cancer, causing him to miss nearly two months of the 1999 season while he underwent treatment for the disease. However, he later recovered and went on to play baseball professionally. The Lowell family currently resides in Pinecrest, Florida.

Florida International University
Lowell was awarded an athletic scholarship to attend Florida International University (FIU) to play college baseball for the FIU Panthers baseball team. In 1993 he played in the Valley Baseball League a collegiate summer baseball league in the Shenandoah Valley region of Virginia for the Waynesboro Generals. In the summer of 1994, he played for the Chatham A's in the Cape Cod Baseball League (CCBL). Lowell was a league all-star for Chatham, and was inducted into the CCBL Hall of Fame in 2011. Lowell graduated from FIU in 1997 with a Bachelor's Degree in Finance.

A three-time All Conference player with the Panthers, his uniform number 15 was retired. Lowell was drafted by the New York Yankees in the 1995 Major League Baseball draft, and eventually made his MLB debut with the New York Yankees during the 1998 season. He was also converted to play as a third baseman, having been at shortstop and second base in college.

New York Yankees
Lowell was drafted by the New York Yankees in the 20th round of the 1995 Major League Baseball draft. He made his major league debut as a September call-up for the Yankees in 1998, singling in his first at-bat and playing eight games in the season.

Although Lowell debuted late in the season and did not play in the 1998 postseason, he still received his first career World Series ring as the Yankees won the 1998 World Series against the San Diego Padres.

Florida Marlins
Lowell was traded to the Florida Marlins on February 1, 1999, for Mark Johnson and Ed Yarnall. While waiting for spring training, he discovered that he had testicular cancer and underwent surgery on February 21 returning to the lineup on May 29. He finished his season with a .253 batting average, 12 home runs, and 47 RBI.

Lowell had successful years in Florida and established himself as one of the elite third baseman in the league. In 2001, he finished with 18 home runs and 100 RBI.

Lowell was having an excellent season in 2003, but in late August he suffered a broken hand when he was hit by a pitch by the Montreal Expos' Héctor Almonte, forcing him to miss 32 games. He finished the season with 32 home runs and 105 RBI. Rookie Miguel Cabrera moved from left field to third base after Lowell's injury. Lowell returned for the postseason and had five hits in the Marlins' World Series win over the Yankees.

In 2004, he hit a career-high (at the time) .293 with 27 home runs and 85 RBI. Despite a disappointing 2005 season in which he hit .236 with only eight home runs and a .298 on-base percentage, Lowell earned his first Gold Glove Award. Lowell also finished third in doubles in the league, totaling 47 doubles in the 2005 season.

The Marlins traded him to Boston in a deal that was officially completed on November 21, 2005, in which the Red Sox received Lowell, Josh Beckett and Guillermo Mota in exchange for Hanley Ramírez, Aníbal Sánchez, Jesús Delgado and Harvey García.

Boston Red Sox
Although the Boston Red Sox took on Lowell and his contract largely because the Marlins would not trade pitcher Josh Beckett without relieving themselves of Lowell's salary, Lowell fared better than expected as a member of the 2006 Red Sox, for a time leading the league in doubles and providing solid defense at third base. Lowell finished with 20 home runs and 80 RBI, and he was tied with Eric Chavez for the best fielding percentage at his position.

The 2007 season turned out to be one of Lowell's best, in which he set career bests in hits, RBI, batting average, OPS, and played a key role in helping the Red Sox win their second World Series in four years. One of the early highlights of the season came on April 22 when Lowell was one of the four Red Sox players to hit consecutive home runs against the Yankees. During the first half, Lowell hit .300 and led the team with 14 home runs (tied with David Ortiz) and 63 RBI. This performance helped earn him a spot on the 2007 American League All-Star Team as a reserve player voted in on the player's ballot.

As the Red Sox held onto its lead in the American League East division, Lowell continued to carry the team by hitting .350 during the second half. His season total of 120 RBI was not only a personal best but a franchise record for a Red Sox third baseman, beating Butch Hobson's total of 112 in 1977. Lowell also finished with a .324 batting average, 21 home runs and 191 hits, another career high.

During the 2007 World Series, Lowell hit .400 with one home run, 4 RBI, six runs scored and a stolen base in the four-game sweep against the Colorado Rockies. Lowell got his second World Series ring and was named the World Series MVP. He also became the second Puerto Rican player to be named the MVP of a World Series (the first one being Roberto Clemente). Lowell along with fellow ex-Marlin Josh Beckett became the first duo to each get a World Series MVP by winning a World Series with one team in the American League and the other in the National League.

Following the season, Lowell placed fifth in the American League Most Valuable Player voting. Although he filed for free agency, Lowell returned to the Red Sox after signing a three-year contract worth $37.5 million.

Lowell had trouble with a torn hip labrum that required surgery between the 2008 and 2009 seasons. As a result, he spent several stints on the disabled list. The injury caused him to miss most of the 2008 playoffs, including the ALCS when the Red Sox lost to the Tampa Bay Rays. It also kept him from representing Puerto Rico in the 2009 World Baseball Classic. He did return to action with the Red Sox in 2009, though he saw reduced playing time at third base in order to keep him healthy and in playing condition. After the Red Sox acquired Victor Martinez in a midseason trade with the Cleveland Indians, Lowell's playing time was reduced, casting his future with the team into doubt. After the season, it was speculated that the Red Sox would attempt to trade Lowell.

Following the 2009 season, the Red Sox and Texas Rangers agreed to a deal that would send Lowell to Texas for catcher Max Ramírez. However, the deal was called off by the Rangers when they discovered that Lowell required surgery on his right thumb. Lowell underwent a successful surgery on December 30. He remained with the Red Sox and joined the team for spring training following rehabilitation on his surgically repaired thumb. On April 10, 2010, Lowell announced that he would most likely retire after the 2010 season. In the 2010 season, he played as a backup infielder at first and third base and as a pinch hitter. On August 3, after coming back from nearly two months on the disabled list, Lowell stepped into the batter's box to a standing ovation at Fenway Park and hit a two-run home run on the first pitch. On May 3, 2010, Lowell had his eighth career three-double game, setting an all-time record for the most by a player in a career.

On October 2, 2010, the Boston Red Sox honored Lowell with an on-field ceremony as he would go on to retire after the 2010 Major League Baseball season was complete.

Post-career
Lowell works as an analyst on the MLB Network, appearing on MLB Tonight.

He appeared on the ballot for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum 2016 election and earned no votes.

Talk:Garden City, New York

Demographics
It might be interesting to note how GC had deed restrictions prohibiting the sale of property to Jews, blacks and other minorities that were in effect through at least the 1950s or 1960s. This policy's legacy is reflected to this day in the village's nearly lily-white population. Has a black family ever lived in Garden City? Servants don't count -- hah!

People might be curious to read about the GC Police Department's history of mistreating blacks who happen to set foot in town (ie: the man falsely held as a "Brinks robber," or my hapless friend Anthony, was was picked up and driven to the Hempsted border while walking home from Lord & Taylor one night by a cop calling him "boy" in a moment right out of 1950s Alabama). It might also be insightful to recount how difficult it was for the Jewish temple on Nassau Blvd. to get permits from the village, while similar Christian sanctuaries were readily approved.

How about a reference to the (uncharged) murder of Ed Fonseca at the hands of GCPD officer John McNulty, who shot an unarmed man, fled the scene and then let Ed bleed out in the back seat of his cruiser during a bizarre 20-minute drive to a hospital 2-3 minutes from the shooting scene? How much was the settlement GC paid Fonseca's family? Never was disclosed, to the best of my knowledge.

On the subject of famous residents: Dave DeBuscherre (spelling? basketball hall of famer, longtime); Joe Namath (football hall of famer, shor-time); Denis Potvin (NHL hall of famer, entire career); Arthur Mercante (Jr. and Sr., famous boxing referees, longtime, Sr. still lives there); Telly Savalas (actor, and his brothers were raised there); Robert Redford (actor, briefly lived there, my mom met him at deBuscherre's house droppong son off from nursery school); Roone Arledge (spelling? 99% sure he was raised there); Bill Moyers (journalist, longtime past resident),

There were some articles a little while back about a minority advocacy NGO, ACORN, conducted tests to check for racial discrimination in Garden City and found that real estate agents would indeed discriminate on grounds of race. I'm a life-long Garden City resident, and I think this definitely should be mentioned, as the town is one of the most homogenous places I've ever been. I plan to add this info to the article and cite it. Relevant links to discrimination in town are: A New York Times article, a general article on discrimination on Long Island which gives special attention to Garden City.

 * The term "lily-white" is derogatory and should certinally not be used in a statement which intends to point out Garden City's alleged racism. That is hypocritical and indicates that the author of that statement is biased, and shows that they have absolutely no validity behind their statements. If in fact there is proof of such allegations, by all means include that information with the appropriate sources. Otherwise, please stop vandalizing this page.

69.122.146.191 06:17, 25 February 2007 (UTC)GC11530

I'd like to reply to the above comments:

First off, let's get the quote right. I said "nearly lily-white." The modifier is worth noting, given your complaint. Omitting the modifier shows your "bias" against my comments and desire to portray them in the most unfavorable light possible. Not fair.

That said, I'm not sure "lily-white" (or "nearly lily-white") is "derogatory" in the way I used it. It is a simple description: white as a lily, which can be very white, indeed. Your comments about that phrase being "hypocritical" or "biased" might be more autobiographical than reflective on my past remarks. "Lily white" can be nothing more than an adjective, though, yes, it is particularly used to describe un-integrated populations. Like Garden City's.

You demand proof GC is "nearly lily-white," which is included in the very article I was commenting on. It cites the following demographic figures: 94.21% White, 1.23% African American. I'm sorry, but methinks a village which is 95+ percent white (after you add the Hispanic whites) and only 1.23% black (and almost all health aides/servants, I'd wager, not homeowners) sounds "nearly lily-white" to me. Perhaps you disagree.

I didn't "vandalize" anything. I merely made a comment in the "discussion" forum, which is what I thought this venue was for. Garden City's deed restrictions, and their lingering impact on the "nearly lily-white" population mix there to this day, would seem to be a valid topic for discussion. Perhaps you are "biased" and disagree. Perhaps you somehow think Wikipedia is the "feel good" encyclopedia that should be free of critical comments. Perhaps it is better to just regurgitate the pablum the village provided Wikipedia rather than take a hard, objective look at the place's history. So, Garden City is an "Ideal" place to live with a "renowned" school system (etc. etc.). Are those entirely "objective" comments? The article is littered with them.

You want more "proof" of Garden City's checkered racial history? The Village Voice had an article about GC, its police force and racism about 15 years ago. You might want ot look it up.

It might be insightful that the "notable residents" I submitted weren't added. What was wrong with them? Were you "biased" against my suggestions? I hedged on Arledge (could have sworn my mom said he went to h.s. with her), but the others all definitely lived there. I even met some of them.

Oh! And I forgot one notable resident: Actor Ralph Waite (The Waltons, Broadway), who was one of the founders of the Garden City Community Church on Stewart Avenue.

Humbly submitted by a lily-white boy who was a third-generation Garden City resident who lived there the first 22 years of his life and still has friends there. 74.8.191.210 19:00, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

An addendum:

The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition, 2000.

lily-white

1. White as a lily. 2. Beyond reproach; blameless. 3. Informal Excluding or seeking to exclude Black people.

No mention of “derogatory,” but seems definition three could be argued to apply to Garden City. 74.8.191.210 19:42, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

141.161.170.111 01:02, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

YOU CERTAINLY LOVE USING QUOTES!! I love Garden City, and I am proud of how much effort and time ( not to mention extreme taxes!) have been invested into the appearance, safety and prestige of the town. Truly and ideal place to raise a family!

141.161.170.111 01:02, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Elizabeth Taylor has something to do with GC? Can you cite a reference?

Notable People
I am a little unsure on what to do with a certain notable person from Garden City. I want to provide a link to Rudy Guiliani, who lived in Garden City and became mayor of New York City. In the group of Notable Residents, I am not sure whether to place his name because he is not a resident anymore.--Screwball23 01:28, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Rudy Giuliani lived in Garden City South, which although it shares a zipcode, is not a part of the Village of Garden City, and does not share its school disctrict.

Also, perhaps "Notable Residents" could be changed to something encompassing both people like Nelson Demille, who were born elsewhere but now live in GC, and people like John Tesh, who grew up there but now live elsewhere.

I'd like to add Susan Lucci as one of the notable people who live in G.C.
 * She is already listed under "Notable residents" Nposs 16:40, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Ralph Waite was nowhere near the founding of the GC Community Church. He was a youth minister for a couple years maybe in the late 50s/early 60s. I was in school with Bruce Waite for a very short time. I think we lived there from 1953-1965. 50.111.76.50 (talk) 14:58, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

____________________________________________________________________________

Stating Garden City is the "best" village is quite subjective and should be omitted.

-- The history of Garden City was copy-pasted from the city website and read more like a tourism brochure. Garden City's history isn't as pretty and clean as was described.

---

No part of Garden City is in North Hempstead. Roosevelt Field and the areas east of the village that use the Garden City post office are in an unincorporated area of the Town of Hempstead. There is no entity known as East Garden City. They use the village name but do not pay village taxes. HGLI2000 03:40, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

--

Actually, the de facto border of the Town of North Hempstead is the Main Line of the LIRR. When Old Country Road ends, the Northernmost border of Garden City becomes the train tracks, which seperate it from Mineola and New Hyde Park. Railroad Avenue, which lies just North of the tracks is within the Incoporated Village, and so, part of Garden City actually does find itself in the Town of North Hempstead.

Also, in reference to you comment on East Garden City, it acutally is a place; a CDP or Census Designated Place. Since there is no formal, organized or incoporated government to administer East Garden City, the Town of Hempstead Supervisor, does. But, while you are wrong at that point, you are right when you say that East Garden City is not required to pay village Taxes to Garden City.

Perhaps you should research before you make inacurate comments in the future. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.122.146.191 (talk • contribs)

Rudy Giuliani has no relation to the village of Garden City. He was raised in Garden City South, which is a separate entity/school district from the village of Garden City. Also, Garden City is in the Town of Hempstead not between North Hempstead and Hempstead.

History and Description trainwreck
This section is an atrocity. It reads like something the Garden City Tourism Bureau might release: "It was a flat, barren meadow -- as clean a sheet of paper as any developer could hope for. No hills. No forest to clear or swamps to fill." No fuss, no muss, just set it and forget it! But if unencyclopædic content just won't do it for you, there's always heavily POV paragraphs to set your mind at ease: "Although there are a myriad of reasons which make Garden City an ideal place to raise a family, the crown jewel, so to speak, is the nationally renowned public school district."

Now, I can see a local historian put quite a lot of work into this article. However, brevity is the soul of wit! And please, if you're reading this page, read up on Wikipedia's style. Heck, just click the random article button a few times and get a feel for the place. I would hate to delete so much, but unless it's cited and made NPOV, it really oughtn't remain. Ipsenaut 02:26, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I work hard at removing POV, irrelevant information. Could someone explain why my edits have been undone? Thank you. Ipsenaut 06:22, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Your are in clear violation of several important Wikipedia guidelines. First and foremost - WP:AFG - assume good faith. You do not own this article.

 * Your insinuation that the above editor should not edit the article because he or she is not from the city is uncivil (WP:CIV). Nposs 00:50, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't think that my statement was "uncivil," but that is your opinion, which you are entitled to. Like most on-line conversations, words can be misconstrued when the recipient of those words can not hear the tone and inflection of which they are stated, or in this case, the intent with which they were written. You are wrong to think and assume that my sentiments are “uncivil.” I was merely trying to point out that this individual who is not, in fact, a resident of Garden City is not an authority of the village. I do not claim to know every minute detail of the history of Garden City, however, being a life-long resident, there is a certain level of familiarity that I have that this other individual does not, and could never have. Unlike those of us who do live here, how can he discredit the statements that residents make? Upholding copyright laws is one thing, but to question the validity of our villages traditions and folklore is something that must be chastised. Read the published books about Garden City, talk to our village historian, maybe even pay a visit to the Garden City Historical society if it is that important to comment on and edit this article. But until then, I would limit those corrections to basic grammatical errors and Wiki style. It would probably be a good idea not to edit any of the information without the proper background knowledge.

Copyright and NPOV
I have removed – again – text that was lifted from this page. It is not to be replaced. See WP:COPY if I'm not being clear enough.

I've also replaced the   tag. Statements like "Although there are a myriad of reasons which make Garden City an ideal place to raise a family, the crown jewel, so to speak, is the nationally renowned public school district." are nowhere near neutral and have to be made encyclopedic. Until someone rewrites those paragraphs, the tag is appropriate. ... disco spinster   talk  20:05, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I have done my best to revert all the POV text. Right now, the most outstanding problem is probably the first sentence of the article's History section. I believe it could be restructured further, with the post-WWII information integrated into the broader "History" section. I removed a lot of the external links mentioned above, as well as the links to 'historical photographs'. I would not want to host images only to have them linked by wikipedia. One, if it had merit, but four from one site is unreasonable. If there are any further reversions to the POV incarnation of this article, an admin can easily protect the page and ban the IP of the resident armchair historian.

mostly catholic and protestant
why is this mentioned? seems strange to put this in an introduction to a town. this should be written maybe in a religion sub section. Victoria, Texas is also mostly protestant and catholic, but they do not mention that in the introduction. in fact, there are alot of american towns throughout the southwest usa are protestant and catholic. would seem more appropriate to put that a town is christian if it is unusual for the area to be christian, for example if a town in israel was mostly christian. it was also quite strange for it to be introduced as a "white town". this is particularly frightening. although it may be a blessing, and serve as a warning sign to those who arent white or christian to enter the town boundaries.

Garden City Estates
Both in this article, and in the Nassau Boulevard (LIRR station) article, the former Village "Garden City Estates" was mentioned, and here's some photographic evidence of the community's existence. What I can't find is evidence of the community's acquisition by the rest of Garden City in 1915, though. I wish I knew where I could find that. -User:DanTD (talk) 14:54, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

Listing houses of worship
This is not a good idea. Firstly, I find it dubious at best that a community of 22,000 people only has 9 houses of worship. What is the source for this? Second, what criteria are we using to determine what constitutes a house of worship? Is the Christian Science reading room a house of worship? Is a home church? Is a storefront ministry run by someone who got ordained over the internet? How about the same thing run by a minister ordained thru a traditional church but not sanctioned by the denomination? See where I am going with this? Perhaps you should take a bit of time and notice what the guideline for settlement articles says about this. WP:USCITY endorses a section on schools including in a community this size a listing of all schools. It carries no such endorsement of a listing of houses of worship. Some of the policies that have a bearing on a listing of houses of worship are WP:NOTDIR (obvious), and WP:NPOV (Since a religion is a point of view, having a listing of some but not all houses of worship is not a NPOV). Your efforts to add to this article are appreciated, but at least IMO, this one is not particularly constructive. John from Idegon (talk) 17:50, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

 * This is not a burning issue for me and if there are Wikipedia guidelines that preclude the inclusion of houses of worship, I can respect that. But since you've posted questions regarding the issue, perhaps the following answers are worth considering.

 * I was not suggesting that the Village of Garden City contains only several houses of worship. It was my understanding that a Wikipedia article is considered a work-in-progress and that others may add (or propose additions) to any section that appears incomplete or contains omissions.

 * As part of its "Community Guide", the Village's official website lists eleven houses of worship located in Garden City. Those institutions reflect a significant aspect of Garden City's culture and community missing from the article (as or more pertinent in those respects than the article's listed "notable people", "legacy" and on-location "films".) L12ra (talk) 06:02, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

 * But therein lies the problem. As I said above, what constitutes a house of worship is subject to personal interpretation.  Sections like this on other settlements have led to problems.  If a group of Satanists regularly meet in someone's garage, isn't that technically a house of worship?  You can list films without offending anyone.  Notable people sections have strict guidelines (people in them have to have a wiki bio or at least unambiguously qualify for one with references that show that; and there has to be reliably sourced info either in their bio or on the list showing there connection to the town.  IMO, notabiity is a good criteria for inclusion of a house of worship in an article, but a general listing is just a bad idea. John from Idegon (talk) 07:41, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Adler (cars and motorcycle)

Adler was a German bicycle,automobile and motorcycle manufacturer from 1880 until 1957. The 'Adler'  name is German for 'eagle'. Adlerwerke vormals Heinrich Kleyer (‘Adler Works formerly [known as] Heinrich Kleyer’) was a German manufacturer established by Heinrich Kleyer in Frankfurt am Main.

The factory in Frankfurt-Gallus still exists and was restored in the late 1990s for use as an office building. It also houses the Gallustheater and a restaurant.

History
The Adler factory produced bicycles (from 1880), typewriters, sewing machines motorcycles, aircraft and calculators in addition to cars. Before World War I, the company used De Dion two- and four-cylinder engines in cars that ranged from 1032 cc to 9081 cc; beginning in 1902 (the year Edmund Rumpler became technical director), they used their own engines as well. These cars, driven by Erwin Kleyer and Otto Kleyer (sons of the company founder Heinrich Kleyer) and by Alfred Theves won many sporting events. In the 1920s, Karl Irion raced many Adlers; popular models of the period included the 2298 cc, 1550 cc, and 4700 cc four-cylinders and the 2580 cc six-cylinders. A few of the Standard models, built between 1927 and 1934, featured Gropius-designed coachwork. The Adler Standard 6, which entered volume production in 1927, had a 2540 cc or 2916 cc six-cylinder engine, while the Adler Standard 8 which appeared a year later use a 3887 cc eight-cylinder engine. The Standard 6, first seen in public at the Berlin Motor Show in October 1926 was the first Continental European car to use Lockheed hydraulic brakes (the Triumph 13/35 offered them in the UK in 1924 and Duesenberg offered them in the US in 1920), when it was fitted with an ATE-Lockheed system. 1927 to 1929 Clärenore Stinnes was the first to circumnavigate the world by car, in an Adler Standard 6.

In December 1930, Adler assigned the German engineer Josef Ganz, who was also editor-in-chief of Motor-Kritik magazine, as a consultant engineer. In the first months of 1931, Ganz constructed a lightweight Volkswagen prototype at Adler with a tubular chassis, a mid-mounted engine, and independent wheel suspension with swing-axles at the rear. After completion in May 1931, Ganz nicknamed his new prototype Maikäfer (May Beetle). After a shift in management at Adler, further development of the Maikäfer was stopped as the company's new technical director Hans Gustav Röhr concentrated on front-wheel driven cars.

In the 1930s, the company introduced front-wheel drive Trumpf and Trumpf-Junior models, ranging from 995 cc to 1645 cc four-cylinder flat-head sv engines. These gained many successes in races, including in the Le Mans race. The 1943 cc Favorit, the 2916 cc six-cylinder Diplomat (featuring 65 hp (48 kW) at 3800 rpm, and the 1910 cc four-cylinder and 2494 cc six-cylinder models (with Ambi-Budd and Karmann bodywork) were all rear-driven; these were built until World War II. The last new car introduced by Adler was the 2.5 Liter of 1937; it had a six-cylinder engine producing 58 hp (43 kW). Thanks to a streamlined body designed by Paul Jaray, this car could run at 125 km/h (78 mph).

After World War II, a decision was made to not resume automobile construction. Motorcycle production resumed in 1949 and continued for eight years, leading to the production of the MB 250S. As part of war reparations to the Allies, Adler motorcycle designs were ceded to Britain; however it is an urban myth that the Adler designs formed the basis of Ariel's Arrow and Leader models. Increasingly, Adler focused on the manufacture of office equipment. The company associated with Triumph to form Triumph-Adler, and was taken over by Grundig in 1957, then later by Olivetti. In 1969 Adler was acquired by Litton Industries.

In 1993, Olivetti sold Adlerwerke AG, which is still listed on the stock exchange, with the entire historical factory premises in Frankfurt to real estate investor Roland Ernst and construction company Philipp Holzmann. The existing typewriter production was initially relocated and finally discontinued in 1998; the site with the listed buildings was sold separately to subsidiaries of the investors. In 1999 HBAG Real Estate (formerly Kühltransit AG) took over 98.3 percent of the shares of Adlerwerke AG from the financially troubled Philipp Holzmann AG.

Adlerwerke AG changed its name to Adler Real Estate in 2002 and have been active in real estate project development since then.

Weloganite

Weloganite is a rare carbonate mineral with formula: Na2(Sr,Ca)3Zr(CO3)6·3H2O. It was discovered by Canadian government mineralogist Ann P. Sabina in 1967 and named for Canadian geologist Sir William Edmond Logan (1798–1875). It was first discovered in Francon Quarry, Montreal, Quebec, Canada and has only been reported from a few localities worldwide.

Properties
It is usually white, lemon yellow, or amber in color, and can be translucent. It crystallizes in the triclinic system and shows pseudo-hexagonal crystal forms due to twinning. The width of the crystals typically undulates down the length, forming crystals that widen in the middle or flare out at the end. Crystals are affected by light and can develop a white alteration coating over time. Weloganite is triboluminescent, producing blue light.

Occurrence
It occurs in an igneous carbonatite sill in Montreal, Quebec, Canada in the Francon Quarry where it was first discovered. It also occurs in the Mont Saint-Hilaire district. Associated minerals include strontianite, dawsonite and calcite. It has also been reported from the Pilansberg Complex of the western Bushveld Igneous Complex in South Africa.

Soyuz TM-11

Soyuz TM-11 was the eleventh expedition to the Russian Space Station Mir, using a Soyuz-TM crew transport vessel. The mission notably carried a Japanese television reporter from Tokyo Broadcasting System.

Mission highlights
Soyuz TM-11 was the 11th expedition to Mir, which spent 175 days docked to the space station. Coincidentally it was launched on the same day as STS-35. As the mission carried Toyohiro Akiyama, a reporter for the Japanese television network Tokyo Broadcasting System, the spacecraft's launch shroud and its Soyuz booster were painted with the Japanese flag and advertisements for Sony, Unicharm, and Otsuka Pharmaceutical. A camera inside the descent module filmed the cosmonauts during ascent for Akiyama's network.

Viktor Afanaseyev, Musa Manarov (on his second Mir visit), and Toyohiro Akiyama were welcomed aboard Mir by Soviet cosmonauts. Akiyama's network paid for the flight. The Soviets called this their first commercial spaceflight and claimed to have earned $14 million. The journalist was scheduled to make one 10-min TV broadcast and two 20-min radio broadcasts each day. Electrical power and video and TV system incompatibilities forced the Japanese to make extensive use of converters. His equipment, which weighed about 170 kg, was delivered by Progress-M spacecraft and set up in advance by Manakov and Strekalov. On December 5 Akiyama's couch was transferred to Soyuz-TM 10. On December 8 Manakov and Strekalov commenced loading Soyuz-TM 10's descent module with film and experiment results. TBS broadcast Akiyama's landing live from Kazakhstan.

Adria (automobile)

The Adria was an American assembled car that was promoted though not actually mass-produced. The address of the makers was given as Batavia, New York. About 20 to 40 prototypes were built from 1921 to 1922, but that was as far as the project went. The five-seat touring car was advertised at US$1495.

It was to have a four-cylinder 2932 cc engine made by Supreme and a 3-part frame chassis, which resulted in a patent dispute with Parenti Motors.

Talk:William Tell

Overture
There should be references to the William Tell Overture and to the various TV versions Lee M 00:26, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * There is now. (Not by me!) --Andrew 13:06, Mar 5, 2005 (UTC)

Origin of the legend
The origins of the william tell tales is talked about here.

http://www.smithsonianmagazine.com/issues/2004/august/search.php?page=1

Date
How is it that we have specific dates for the event, but that the main participant is of doubtful existence? What is the ultimate source of the date? Stan 00:57, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Personally wheter he existed or not I think this is a swiss version of King Arthur ;P

I'm a Swiss historian and I can't confirm this date 18th November 1307. The Legendary of Wilhelm Tell tells us that those actions take place befor the uprising or revolution in the year of Swiss Foundation - this year was 1291! The Swiss national day is the 1st August. That means that the Swiss Confederation was allready 16 years old in 1307.
 * you certainly don't sound like a Swiss historian. The point is not the date given on the Federal Charter (the only source of the 1291 figure), the point is, what date is given by Tschudi. Can you, then, confirm or disconfirm that Tschudi mentions the 1307 date? dab (ᛏ) 14:03, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

spending 30 seconds on google yields a few references, Mr. Historian, including an image of the 1307 date on the Tell sculpture of Altdorf.
 * Der Bundesbrief von 1291 ist jedenfalls nicht die schriftliche Urkunde vom Rütli, sondern ein Vorläufer des Rütlibundes, während schon die älteste Tradition die Taten Tells und den Rütlischwur auf das Jahr 1307 datiert. Erst um 1890 beschloss das Bundesparlament gegen den Widerstand der Urkantone, Rütlischwur und Bundesbrief gleichzusetzen und am 1. August 1891 eine 600-Jahr-Feier abzuhalten. Die Urner errichteten 1895 das Telldenkmal in Altdorf und meisselten darauf zum Trotz nochmals die althergebrachte Jahreszahl 1307 ein.

 * Tschudi legte die Ereignisse in die Jahre 1301-07, den Bundesschwur auf Mittwoch vor Martini (8.11.) 1307 und die Erstürmung der Burgen auf Neujahr 1308. Damit schuf er die zeitl. Verbindung zur Ermordung des verhassten, als habsüchtig und tyrann. geltenden Kg. Albrecht I. und die bis ins 19. Jh. gültige Datierung.

dab (ᛏ) 14:10, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

You are right with your comments about Tschudys Legend, i was wrong - sorry for that! I really thought that the actions of Wilhelm Tell were before the "Bundesbrief". But I couldn't find a prove about Tschudy and his date of 1307 either, only that Wilhelm Tell fought in the Morgarten Battle 1315, according Tschudys writings.

hard to say what happened anyway... Tschudi has 1307 for the Apfelschuss and 1354 for Tell's death. If Tell was 25 in 1307, he would have died at 72, quite an age for jumping in a mountain river. There will be a historical core to all this, but, like Arnold Winkelried, these legends went unrecorded for more than a century, and there is no way of telling what was added during that time. The similarity to Egil is just a little bit too much of a giveaway, I think, but that doesn't change the fact that the revolt against Habsburg that culminated in Moorgarten 1315 was historical :) dab (ᛏ) 18:58, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Who was Gessler working for? There were no Habsburg emperors until the 1450s. Was it King of the Romans Albert I of Germany? --Countakeshi (talk) 05:06, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Vocabulary
I would like to suggest a change in wording. I have the impression that the term "saga" is used here as a translation for German "sage". That is incorrect (check the wikipedia entry for saga). It would be better to use the term legend. HH

How Far?
For petesake, how far was Tell from the target? That's the entire crux of the matter, but NOBODY even offers a wild guess. If he stood six paces from his son, no big deal. If he was 50 paces, using a 14th century weapon, that could be a huge deal. BT August 26 '06.
 * look, the event is legendary; it if never even took place, it is futile to speculate about hte distance, don't you think? (ᛎ) qɐp 18:35, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. 91.138.73.74 (talk) 16:34, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
 * If you read the story you can infer the approx distance for your self - Tell first tried to refuse, prayed to god for help and decided to kill Gessler if he killed his son. therefore it clearly was a big deal to him. 91.138.73.74 (talk) 16:34, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Birth and death dates
Someone added fictitious birth and death dates. I have removed them again. First, there were unsourced, and second, it is unknown whether this mythical figure existed at all. Any birth/death dates are pure speculation and based at best on the legend itself. At best, one could add a (sourced!) statement saying that according to the legend, he was born/died at such-and-such dates. Lupo 08:04, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Book burned in Altdorf
You're right, this would need a source. If I only remembered where I got that from... :-( At least I think I wrote that... yup, on March 29, 2005. Here's another mention of this, by one Charles E. Ritterbrand in a speech given on August 1, 2004. I'll keep looking, though... Lupo 21:20, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Here, in the section "Le pamphlete de von Haller"]. Lupo 21:26, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

 * well done, thank you Lupo. --dab (𒁳) 13:35, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

1350 or 1354?
Dab, the 1350 in the German article seems to be the result of some error. Until December 4, 2006, they had also 1354. Then some edit went wrong and garbled it. In the next edit on december 5, 2006, it was "fixed" to 1350. That is wrong. According to Meyer's Konversationslexikon, Tschudi has 1354. I'll change that back and add the ref. Lupo 22:59, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Besides, they also have the November 18, 1307 date... seems to come from Tschudi, too. Lupo 23:08, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

you are right of course. I was aware I was doing something dodgy. But to be perfectly honest, knowing that this article is in your competent hands, I sort of raised the question knowing that you would sort it out. This isn't how I should have done it, the proper way would have been making the observation on the talkpage -- sorry. --dab (𒁳) 11:07, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Universal Appeal?
So is William Tell particularly revered by German-speaking Swiss people, or is he a hero throughout the Confederation? The answer might be an appropriate item for the article. Cranston Lamont (talk) 17:42, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Esther
did anyone notice the similaaties to the biiblical book of Esther with idea of the hero not bowing when an opressor told hi to bow, then the tyrant issued an evil decree because of the defiance but the decree didnt work and it ended up as the villian dying? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.238.246.127 (talk) 22:57, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

william tell conrad phillips
despite your excellent and informative summary i am amazed you did not mention the 60s tv series starring Conrad Phillips  he helped continue the legend of Tell as much as anyone   in fact i recall at the time he  conrad was as popular in switzerland as tell himself and was highly regarded for his portrayal whether the real tell existed is open to question  but in the hearts of many an english child  he did  thanks to Conrad Phillips        yours  Boulevarde  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Boulevarde (talk • contribs) 00:25, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Actually, the WILLIAM TELL television film series was made in the late 1950s. DavidRayner (talk) 08:51, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

Team Fortress 2
Is it noteworthy that there is an achievement in the game Team Fortress 2 called William Tell overkill? It requires the player to shoot an enemy with a bow pinning his head to the wall with the arrow.

 * I think something like this is better mentioned at Team Fortress. Lupo 13:51, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

 * No. 69.117.214.206 (talk) 05:38, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

What Merging?
"Aegidius Tschudi from Glarus merged several earlier accounts of the William Tell myth into the story that is summarized above." All elements of the story in your summary are already present in the weisse Buch von Sarnen and in the Kronika von der loblichen Eydtgenossenschaft. Therefore, the sentence quoted can not be true. I suggest that this sentence be deleted. 91.138.73.74 (talk) 14:48, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

rephrased. Of course the source cited, Bergier p. 16, does not make reference to the "summary above" in this article, so strictly speaking you are right and the sentence was inaccurate. --dab (𒁳) 16:48, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Why "William"?
I grew up hearing the story of William Tell. Now as an adult, I find he was not British. So why does he have an English name?184.155.134.43 (talk) 22:54, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Because, as is often the case when a non-English story is translated into English, the names involved are also Anglicised. In this case the "story" is an article in the English-language Wikipedia, but the very first line gives the Swiss versions of his name thus:
 * William Tell (in the four languages of Switzerland: German: Wilhelm Tell; French: Guillaume Tell; Italian: Guglielmo Tell; Romansh: Guglielm Tell).
 * {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 185.74.232.130 (talk) 14:01, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Yeah, William seems wrong.2601:806:4301:C100:F8A3:8FAC:81CD:B8D3 (talk) 23:38, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

It's not wrong, it's just common English usage. The Wikipedia name policy states: "Use commonly recognisable names: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Article_titles#Use_commonly_recognizable_names  It's quite normal for a name to differ in different languages. The French say Marie Stuart, the Germans Maria Stuart, the Italians Maria Stuarda and English-speakers Mary Stuart. There are endless examples of this. Think of the different forms of the name Christopher Columbus, Cristoforo Colombo, Cristobal Colon ecc. I was told that in Sweden King Kong is called Kong King. I hope it's true. METRANGOLO1 (talk) 19:14, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

Impossible to parse sentence in introductory section
The following sentence appears in the introductory section for this article:

” According to the legend, Tell was an expert mountain climber and marksman with a crossbow for apple shot and he who assassinated Albrecht Gessler, a tyrannical reeve of the Austrian dukes of the House of Habsburg positioned in Altdorf, in the canton of Uri.”

I cannot for the life of me understand how this sentence is supposed to be read or how it could possibly be correctly written. It is beyond me how no one has corrected this jumble of utter nonsense, I’m getting a headache just looking at it again now. 69.117.214.206 (talk) 05:37, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

David B. Haight

David Bruce Haight (September 2, 1906 – July 31, 2004) was an American religious leader and an elected official. Haight was the second oldest member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles in the history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). He also served as mayor of Palo Alto, California from 1959 to 1963.

Early life and education
Haight was born in Oakley, Idaho, on September 2, 1906, the son of Hector Caleb Haight and Clara Josephine Tuttle. Hector was the son of Horton D. Haight, who had been involved in many trips in the Mormon trek and served as the first president of the LDS Church stake that included Oakley. David's maternal grandfather, Norton Ray Tuttle, was the first bishop of Tooele, Utah.

Haight received a degree from Utah State University where he was initiated into the Gamma Epsilon chapter of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity, and he served as a commander in the Navy during World War II.

Career
Haight was an executive in the retail business.

Haight served as mayor of Palo Alto, California from 1959 to 1963, and was the owner of the Palo Alto Hardware store.

LDS Church service
When he was called as president of the LDS Church's mission in Scotland he resigned as mayor of Palo Alto, over the objections of the city council. In addition to his service as mission president, he served in the church as president of the Palo Alto Stake and a regional representative. He was called as a general authority, as an Assistant to the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, in April 1970. He also served as a special assistant to the president of Brigham Young University.

The vacancy in the church's Quorum of the Twelve, from the death of Hugh B. Brown in December 1975, was filled by Haight. He was ordained an apostle on January 8, 1976.

Haight died the morning of July 31, 2004, of causes incident to age, having attended the funeral of his Quorum of the Twelve colleague, Neal A. Maxwell, four days earlier. Dieter F. Uchtdorf and David A. Bednar were called to fill the vacancies created by the deaths of Maxwell and Haight. Haight's funeral service was held in the Salt Lake Tabernacle and he was interred at Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Holladay, Utah. At 97 years old, he was the oldest apostle in church history until being surpassed by Russell M. Nelson in 2022.

Personal life
Haight was married to Ruby M. Olson (1910–2004). He was the father-in-law of businessman and philanthropist Jon Huntsman Sr., through Haight's daughter, Karen, and grandfather of the former governor of Utah and former U.S. Ambassador to China and Russia, Jon Huntsman Jr.

Anti-aging product

Anti-aging creams are predominantly moisturizer-based skin care products marketed with unproven claims of making the consumer look younger by reducing, masking or preventing signs of skin aging. Anti-aging supplements are ingestible products promoted to diminish the effects of aging, including vitamin supplements, powders, and teas.

In the United States, anti-aging products are commonly marketed with false health claims, and are deemed to be among various scams on consumers. Since 2007, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued dozens of warning letters to manufacturers of skin care products with false marketing – including supposed anti-aging effects – about the benefits of such products, which are not authorized to be marketed as drugs that would require FDA approval to be safe and effective for treating the aging process.

Traditionally, anti-aging creams have been marketed towards women, but products specifically targeting men are common in the 21st century. Marketing of anti-aging products has been criticized as reinforcing ageism, particularly against women. Anti-aging promotions specifically reinforce the belief that older people should look like middle-aged people, and that old age comes with a loss of gender identity.

 * The company is referred to as Scholastic or Scholastic Inc.; Scholastic Press is an imprint of Scholastic Trade, which is the division of the company that publishes children's books for the trade market.
 * In addition to being a publishing company, Scholastic is also an education and media company.
 * It was founded in 1920, not 1925.
 * Global Headquarters of the company are in New York City. We have international offices in Toronto, London, Shanghai, India, Australia and New Zealand, but not in Rome, Mexico City or Paris.
 * Revenue is $2 Billion USD
 * Number of employees as of 2009 is 9,800
 * Scholastic Book Clubs is referred to officially in the plural (not Scholastic Book Club)
 * Klutz is not called “Klutz Press,” but simply Klutz.
 * The address for Scholastic’s corporate headquarters is 557 Broadway (not 557 W. Broadway)
 * The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards are 86 years old
 * Scholastic At Home is no longer a division of Scholastic
 * Scholastic Productions is actually called “Scholastic Media”

 * This article needs some major help. There's hardly a mention on here about Harry Potter. That was a major coup for this company! I doubt many publishing companies would've taken a chance on something like Harry Potter, and they deserve to have a section on this page about how they came to get the Potter books as part of their company. Geez... That's gotta make this company a major player!

Wrong!
Why is this title saying Scholastic Press instead of Scholastic Corporation?

Read 180
Why is there no article about Read 180??? (Superjustinbros. 21:42, 7 March 2007 (UTC))

 * Which is... ? Is that particular to your region or the whole nation/ international regions? Still a schoolkid, and have never heard of it. 71.253.252.88 12:00, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
 * READ 180 is a heavily marketed reading-improvement program by Scholastic. It has four components: teacher-directed lessons addressed to the whole class, plus rotating segments that involve small-group work, independent reading with leveled books (some are ordinary trade paperbacks, while others are adaptations or Scholastic-developed material), or a computer-based program. It's one of their big things now and has been since about the '90s. I would agree that it should, at minimum, be listed as one of their divisions/programs.

Some sections sound taken from a press release
Do we really need such a long section on the awards, or the boilerplate-sounding description of the "remarkable" people who've received them? I can see having a paragraph, but if we're going to get into a listing of them, it should be in a separate article on the awards, if they merit that much attention. There are other sections which sound "ripped from the [PR] headlines," including the overly comprehensive listing of their titles; wouldn't a listing of just their best-selling series titles do?

Removal of un-referenced material
The tags suggested that this article was written as advertising copy. Perhaps reading WP:MOS before doing a cut and paste job would have helped. I have deleted vast amounts that I couldn't verify. All the deleted material can be found using. When Wp:RS secondary sources have been found some can be replaced- the use of lists is deprecated, and more so could be a copyvio.

Home Base
Hi, I’m a stupid teen, but could someone add a section about Homebase? It’s one of their side projects, kinda burning down rn, but I figured it should be noted. One problem though- I can’t find ANY information on it besides the official launchers, and a quick blurb on the Dogman wiki, of all places. So uhhh yeah- 73.216.104.71 (talk) 20:31, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

Corporate Bias
The article itself feels a little bit too biased to the corporation, as if Scholastic themselves made the page. First of all, the page doesn’t have any criticism or controversy sub sections which is always a big red flag for me. Then, the article itself feels a bit too happy, without looking into some more negative aspects of the company. Dumdum56 (talk) 12:31, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Soyuz TM-12

Soyuz TM-12 was the 12th expedition to Mir, and included the first Briton in space, Helen Sharman.

Mission highlights
The Mir crew welcomed aboard Anatoli Artsebarski, Sergei Krikalev (on his second visit to the station), and British cosmonaut-researcher Helen Sharman, who was aboard as part of Project Juno, a cooperative venture partly sponsored by British private enterprise. Sharman's experimental program, which was designed by the Soviets, leaned heavily toward life sciences, her speciality being chemistry. A bag of 250,000 pansy seeds was placed in the Kvant-2 EVA airlock, a compartment not as protected from cosmic radiation as other Mir compartments. Sharman also contacted nine British schools by radio and conducted high-temperature superconductor experiments with the Elektropograph-7K device. Sharman commented that she had difficulty finding equipment on Mir as there was a great deal more equipment than in the trainer in the cosmonaut city of Zvezdny Gorodok. Krikalev commented that, while Mir had more modules than it had the first time he lived on board, it did not seem less crowded, as it contained more equipment. Krikalev also noted that some of the materials making up the station's exterior had faded and lost color, but that this had no impact on the station's operation.

The spacecraft spent 144 days docked to Mir. While it was in orbit, the failed coup d'état against Mikhail Gorbachev in August 1991 rocked the Soviet Union, setting in motion events which led to the end of the Soviet Union on 26 December.

In popular culture
Out of the Present, a 1995 film documentary focused on cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev's stay on Mir, features the arrival of Soyuz TM-12.

Ludwig Mond

Ludwig Mond FRS (7 March 1839 – 11 December 1909 ) was a German-born British chemist and industrialist. He discovered an important, previously unknown, class of compounds called metal carbonyls.

Education and career
Ludwig Mond was born into a Jewish family in Kassel, Germany. His parents were Meyer Bär (Moritz) Mond and Henrietta Levinsohn. After attending schools in his home town, he studied chemistry at the University of Marburg under Hermann Kolbe and at the University of Heidelberg under Robert Bunsen but he never gained a degree. He then worked in factories in Germany and the Netherlands before coming to England to work at the factory of John Hutchinson & Co in Widnes in 1862. He worked in Utrecht for the firm of P. Smits & de Wolf from 1864 to 1867 and then returned to Widnes. Here he formed a partnership with John Hutchinson and developed a method to recover sulphur from the by-products of the Leblanc process, which was used to manufacture soda ash.

In 1872 Mond got in touch with the Belgian industrialist Ernest Solvay who was developing a better process to manufacture soda ash, the ammonia-soda or Solvay process. The following year he went into partnership with the industrialist John Brunner to work on bringing the process to commercial viability. They established the business of Brunner Mond & Company, building a factory at Winnington, Northwich. Mond solved some of the problems in the process that had made mass production difficult, and by 1880 he had turned it into a commercially sound process. Within 20 years the business had become the largest producer of soda ash in the world.

Mond continued to research new chemical processes. He discovered nickel carbonyl, a previously unknown compound and the first-discovered in the class of metal carbonyls, which could be easily decomposed to produce pure nickel from its ores through the Mond process. He founded the Mond Nickel Company to exploit this. Ores from nickel mines in Canada were given preliminary enrichment there and then shipped to Mond's works at Clydach, near Swansea, Wales for final purification.

He was one of the first industrialists of his time who offered his employees paid holidays and fringe-benefits.

Honours and benefactions
Mond supported scientific societies and, with Henry Roscoe, helped to expand the small Lancashire Chemical Society into the nationwide Society of Chemical Industry of which he was elected president in 1888. He was elected to the Royal Society in 1891. Abroad, he was elected to membership of the German Chemical Society, the Società Reale of Naples, and the Prussian Akademie der Wissenschaften. He received honorary doctorates from the universities of Padua, Heidelberg, Manchester and Oxford and was awarded the grand cordon of the Order of the Crown of Italy.

He was a benefactor to a number of scientific organisations including the Royal Society, the Italian Accademia dei Lincei and the Royal Institution of Great Britain. In his will he left bequests to the town of Kassel and to a number of Jewish charities. In his later years he had built up a collection of old master paintings and he left the greater proportion of these to the National Gallery, London. His wife left a large collection of materials relating to German literature to King's College, London.

The Royal Society of Chemistry awards the Ludwig Mond Award in his honour. A statue of him, designed by Édouard Lantéri (1912), stands in front of the former Brunner Mond offices in Winnington, flanked by a statue of Brunner. Another statue of Mond is sited across from the Mond Nickel Works in Clydach, Wales, and is a Grade II listed structure

Family and personal
In October 1866 Mond married his cousin Frida Löwenthal (1847–1923) in her native town of Cologne. They soon moved to England and had two sons, Robert and Alfred. In 1880 he took British nationality. While he was establishing his business the family lived at Winnington and in 1884 they moved to London. From the early 1890s on, he spent most of his winters in Rome at his home there. This home, the Palazzo Zuccari, was first leased and then (1904) bought in the name of his wife's friend Henriette Hertz, who developed it into a study centre for the history of art now called Bibliotheca Hertziana. He died in his London home, 'The Poplars', Avenue Road, near Regent's Park. Although he had never practised any religion he was buried with Jewish rites at St Pancras cemetery where his sons erected a mausoleum. His estate was valued at £1 million.

Structure of the Canadian federal government

The following list outlines the structure of the federal government of Canada, the collective set of federal institutions which can be grouped into the legislative, executive, and judicial branches.
