1985 Ontario general election

The 1985 Ontario general election was held on May 2, 1985, to elect the members of the 33rd Legislative Assembly of Ontario, Canada. The Progressive Conservatives won a plurality, but came up short of a majority.

Shortly afterward, the 42 years of PC governance in Ontario came to an end by a confidence vote defeating Premier Frank Miller's minority government. David Peterson's Liberals then formed a minority government with the support of Bob Rae's New Democratic Party.

Prelude
Around Thanksgiving in 1984, Ontario Premier Bill Davis announced that he would be stepping down from his longtime post and as leader of the Ontario PCs in early 1985. In office since 1971, he had a string of electoral victories by pursuing a moderate agenda and by relying on the skill of the Big Blue Machine team of advisors. Davis, who remained generally popular throughout his term in office, would unveil a surprise legacy project: full funding for Ontario's separate Catholic school system, which would become known as Bill 30. That decision was supported by both other parties but was generally unpopular, especially in the PC base.

The subsequent leadership race saw the party divide into two rough camps. The moderate and mainly-urban wing was represented by the second-place finisher, Larry Grossman. The more conservative rural faction backed the eventual victor, Frank Miller. After Miller's victory at the convention, the party's factions failed to reconcile, which was especially important since many moderate members of the Big Blue Machine were pushed aside.

Election
Despite those problems, the PCs remained far ahead in the polls, and when Miller called an election just six weeks after becoming premier, he was about 20% ahead of the Liberals. Over the campaign, however, the PC lead began to shrink as the Liberals waged a highly effective campaign. During the campaign, the separate schools question re-emerged when the Anglican prelate of Toronto, Archbishop Lewis Garnsworthy, held a news conference on the issue in which he compared Davis' methods in pushing through the reform to Adolf Hitler, saying: "This is how Hitler changed education in Germany, by exactly the same process, by decree. I won't take that back." Garnsworthy was much criticized for his remarks, but the issue was revived, which alienated the PC base, some of whom chose to stay home on election day.

The election held May 2, 1985, ended in a stalemate. The PCs emerged with a much-reduced caucus of 52 seats. The Liberals won 48 seats but won slightly more of the popular vote. The NDP held the balance of power, with 25 seats. Despite taking 14 seats from the PCs, the Liberals were somewhat disappointed, as they felt that they had their first realistic chance of winning government in recent memory. The NDP was also disappointed by the election result, as the party had been nearly tied with the Liberals for popular support for several years and had hoped to surpass them.

Aftermath
The incumbent PCs intended to remain in power with a minority government, as they had done on two occasions under Davis' leadership. Rae and the NDP had little interest in supporting a continuation of PC rule, while the Liberals were also more amenable to a partnership compared to in the 1970's. Among other things, the Liberals repeatedly pointed out that (again, unlike in the previous decade) their party had won the popular vote and therefore, in their view, had at least as much of a right to govern the province as the Conservatives. The NDP began negotiations on May 13 to reach an agreement with the Liberals. Rae and Peterson signed an accord on May 29 that would see a number of NDP priorities put into law in exchange for an NDP motion of non-confidence in Miller's government and the NDP's support of the Liberals. The NDP agreed to support a Liberal minority government for two years during which the Liberals agreed not to call an election.

Miller, apprised of negotiations, considered a plan to address the province on television two days before the throne speech, disown funding for Catholic schools, and announce he was meeting with the Lieutenant Governor to request an election before a confidence vote could take place. Believing that the Lieutenant Governor would have to call an election if requested before the confidence vote, Miller refused to do so since he believed the party's finances to be too fragile for a second campaign and that repudiating a key Davis policy would tear the party apart.

In what was by then a foregone conclusion, on June 18, 1985 the PC government was defeated by the passage of a motion of no confidence introduced by Rae. Lieutenant-Governor John Black Aird then asked Peterson to form a government. Privately, Aird's actions suited Miller since even without party infighting and finances to consider, the PC's internal polling had by then clearly indicated the voters did not want another election and that even if the Lieutenant-Governor could have been convinced to call one, the Liberals would have been likely to win in a landslide. The actions of Aird, who was appointed by former Liberal Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, therefore allowed Miller to portray his relinquishing of the premiership as a grudging acquiescence that he was forced to undertake by a representative of the sovereign, who the PCs would subsequently claim had breached constitutional convention and inappropriately engaged in partisanship to elevate the second-place party to government. In any case, Miller resigned on June 26 and Peterson's minority government was sworn in on the same day.

Sir John Rose, 1st Baronet

Sir John Rose, 1st Baronet (2 August 1820 – 24 August 1888) was a Scots-Quebecer politician. He was a member of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada and the Executive Council of the Province of Canada. After Confederation, he held the offices of Solicitor General of Canada, Minister of Public Works and Minister of Finance in the new federal government. In the United Kingdom, he held the offices of Receiver General of the Duchy of Cornwall and Privy Counsellor.

In 1872, he was created 1st Baronet Rose, of Montreal. His eldest son inherited the title and in 1909, his second son, Sir Charles Day Rose, was created 1st Baronet Rose of Hardwick House in his own right. His home from 1848, Rosemount, was in Montreal's Golden Square Mile. From 1872, he lived in England at Loseley Park.

Early life in Scotland
John Rose was born 2 August 1820, at Gask, near Turriff, Aberdeenshire. He was the son of William Rose (b. 1792), of Gask, and Elizabeth (d. 1822), daughter of Capt. James Fyfe. John's father, William, was a great-grandson of Hugh Rose, 16th Baron of Kilravock and Chief of Clan Rose. The estate of Gask had passed to John's father through his ancestor, Lt.-General Alexander Forbes (d. 1672), 10th Lord Forbes. John Rose was educated at Udny Academy and King's College, Aberdeen.

Career
In 1836, he immigrated to Huntingdon, Quebec, in what was then Lower Canada, where he was active in suppressing the Lower Canada Rebellion of 1837. He was admitted to the bar in 1842 and established a commercial practice in Montreal. From 1857 until 1867, he was a member of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada, and he was a member of the Executive Council from 1858 until 1861.

He was Lower Canada's Solicitor General from 1857 to 1858 and from 1858 to 1859, and he also acted as various times as commissioner of public works and Receiver General. In 1864, the British government appointed him to the commission to settle claims under the Oregon Treaty with the United States.

Rose was elected to the House of Commons of Canada for the electoral district of Huntingdon, Quebec on 20 September 1867, and was later appointed Minister of Finance in the government of John A. Macdonald. He resigned from Parliament on 29 September 1869, to return to private life with the banking firm of Morton, Rose and Co.

Rose was a delegate to the London Conference of 1866. In 1869, Rose moved to England to practise law and acted as an unofficial representative of the Canadian government. His was one of the first missions of a partly diplomatic nature which Canada ever sent abroad. He was sent partly because his was perceived as being "gentlemanly" enough for the world of London politics. He worked for Canada's interests in trade and immigration, and lobbied for Canada's viewpoint on matter of Anglo-American relations. In this function, he answered directly to the Prime Minister, John A. Macdonald, since it was an informal position and was therefore not under the purview of the Governor General, meaning that communications could be kept secret from the Imperial Government. As well, Canada did not have a foreign affairs department at the time.

He also sat on a number of Royal Commissions in Britain and became a baronet in 1872, and a member of the Imperial Privy Council in 1886. Following his passing in 1888, Sir John Rose was interred at Mount Cemetery in Guildford, near the Loseley Park estate, which he had rented for some years.

Family
He was succeeded by his elder son Sir William Rose, 2nd Baronet. His daughter Mary Rose married Major-General Sir Stanley de Astel Calvert Clarke, K.C.V.O., C.M.G.

His Clarke granddaughters, Mrs. Edith Mary Bibby and Mrs. Baird, were two of the noted beauties of the day, and their portraits by Fildes, R.A. (former) and by Shannon (latter) were exhibited at the Royal Academy, 1896.

They were the daughters of Mrs. Edith Mary Bibby married Frank Bibby, of Sansaw, near Shrewsbury, England, 1890, and the couple had two sons and two daughters.

Glucoraphanin.png

Hello. The picture you made of glucoraphanin shows a double bond between the rightmost sulfur atom and the oxygen. The non-planarity implies a lone pair on the sulfur. In that case, the sulfur atom has ten electrons around it. In fact, there should not be a double bond between the sulfur and the oxygen, but rather, the sulfur should have a formal charge of +1 and the oxygen a formal charge of −1, with a single bond between them (see Sulfoxide). Can you fix this? Eric Kvaalen (talk) 12:08, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

 * citing from the Graphical representation standards for chemical structure diagrams (IUPAC Recommendations 2008)1: Functional groups containing sulfur, selenium, and tellurium are also preferably depicted with normal single and double bonds and without the addition of extra formal charges, even though such representations will violate the octet rule. The same formalism is used in the recent Blue book from 2013. Therefore in this moment I am not considering to apply the suggested change. Even through I understand and share your sense for precision and correctness. Regards, —Mykhal (talk) 18:08, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your reply. I have just read your link. They explain the problem with the nitro group, and they say that in that case one should use formal charges (or else just write ). But then they give no explanation or justification why they go the other way with phosphorus and the chalcogens! People of the world, rise up! Eric Kvaalen (talk) 10:07, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

 * I agree it seems like inconsistency and tradition. I think one explanation why nitro group notation with two N=O bonds is unacceptable is because it would mean octet rule violation for 1st/2nd periodic table row element, which really is unacceptable, because there are no d-orbitals involved, only s and p. I guess you should be consistent in your fight and promote this single-bond-and-charges-only notation also for e.g. inorganic sulfates, phosphates, etc.. which would then look really wild :) —Mykhal (talk) 11:13, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
 * (please note that the last sentence is an example of irony) —Mykhal (talk) 17:04, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

I came back to this picture the other day. Why do you show the methyl sulfinyl group with this chirality? Does it really have this chirality, or is there a mixture of both? In that case we shouldn't show any chirality I think. Eric Kvaalen (talk) 11:17, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

 * I don't remember exactly where did I get the stereochemistry info, but it can be verified e.g. in . I might (re-)dig in deeper later. Regards, —Mykhal (talk) 15:15, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

My silly mistake
The self-link was rightly reverted... what was I thinking? Andrewa (talk) 19:05, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Oh, . I am somewhat sorry for slightly rude action. If the the page contained no info about the alternate self-link name, it could be done little bit more systematically – creating red link by deleting the redirection page. But it contains some info.. so it's debatable what's the right thing. —Mykhal (talk) 19:22, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
 * That I'm an admin is irrelevant... sorry if I scared you. I stuffed up. We all do at times. Didn't check the preview adequately. I see no rudeness. Thanks for being so collaborative, it's very encouraging! Andrewa (talk) 19:47, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Bot request (and block)
I don't think you made the request properly; you created the subpage, but you also have to add a link to it to the main page. There are directions at WP:BOTREQ, but if you need help let me know.

I've changed the block reason, as it wasn't spamming. But I left the block in place, both because the blocking admin didn't want to unblock (and I didn't feel like arguing), and because you don't really need it unblocked unless the bot request is accepted, in which case an unblock is easy. --Floquenbeam (talk) 03:37, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the notice, I have then made the missing step of the bot request. Regarding to the block reason, there's still ".. for adding spam links." on the bot's talk page, unfortunately, hardcoded into that semi-HTML infobox. —Mykhal (talk) 07:20, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

Curious edit
I noticed you added the fact that the sample Version 10 QR code is in capital letters, but why only that one? Why not add that comment to all the examples? Or is it even necessary? As all QR codes can contain only capital (or upper case) letters as is stated in the table just above the examples. Just wondering why that one is so special. :-) Thanks! WesT (talk) 18:59, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

 * This is the only one with all-capital letter text encoded. Better ask the person who encoded upper-case text into that image. I considered a just note after the text instead of correcting the actual text, that would look ugly and rude. Regards, —Mykhal (talk) 19:28, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

 * … Oh, I'm sorry for the inconvenience; after re-reading your post carefully: I did not notice the claim about inability to encode lowercase characters. I am not currently able to verify that claim, anyway it's not related to all modes, as stated. All QR encoders I have used were able to encode text case-sensitively, and of all images in that "gallery" only that one decodes to uppercase text. Regards, —Mykhal (talk) 19:46, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Interesting...I hadn't tried to scan any of them, just assumed that all were encoded as uppercase (per other places in the article). I know when I scan a QR leading to a webpage it _seems_ to be lowercase, but I assumed (again) that it was due to the application knowing that all websites are lowercase and converting before using it. I'll have to check it out more. Thanks again! WesT (talk) 21:37, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

Deletion of old redirects
If you believe that a redirect which has been in existence for a long time should be deleted, then take it to a deletion discussion. Deletion of the redirects you have tagged is certainly not uncontroversial, and none of the speedy deletion criteria applies to them. The speedy deletion criterion for implausible redirects applies only to recently created redirects for a good reason. You may have checked that there are no internal links from other Wikipedia pages to the redirects, but you can't possibly know that no external links exist. JBW (talk) 08:16, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

Why was my change reverted?
I notice that you reverted an edit of mine on Trimethylsilyl azide last month. As far as I am aware, "azidotri(methyl)silane" is the unambiguous PIN of the compound. You claim that "Si compounds don't have IUPAC 2013 PINs", but the Blue Book clearly assigns PINs to Si compounds that have at least one C atom, such as "(chloromethyl)silane (PIN)", "chloro(methyl)silane (PIN)", or "(difluoroboranyl)tri(methyl)silane (PIN)". For this particular name, we can go down the P-41 seniority order. Since the compound has no –OH group or chalcogen analogue, it is not an oxoacid (P-67.1.2.4). Since there is no H3Si(OH) parent compound (P-67.1.2.1–2), it is not an acid pseudohalide. The azide group cannot be used as the parent structure (P-61.7, P-74.2.2.2.2). Therefore, silane is the parent structure, to be modified with substitutive nomenclature. Finally, we add the parentheses in accordance with P-16.5.1.3.1 (emphasis mine):

"For mononuclear parent hydrides with two or more substituents the first cited substituent never has enclosing marks unless it includes a locant. The second and further substituents are each enclosed with parentheses even for simple substituents. When the simple substituent groups are accompanied by multiplicative prefixes such as 'di' and 'tri', the multiplicative prefixes are not included in the parentheses."

If you have a different interpretation of the Blue Book, please share it. LegionMammal978 (talk) 00:09, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

 * This ...tri(methyl)... looks very unusual, however there are several occurrences when they have changed to it, as I can see in the errata, I could not found any such construction in the original text. So I was not up-to date, i.e. wrong, and I apologize. Thanks for the info. (I will have to dig into rules more carefully later.) Regards, —Mykhal (talk) 04:23, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Yeah, lots of the examples in the printed Blue Book are inconsistent with its wording of P-16.5.1.3 and also with each other. I contacted G. P. Moss about it a few times over the years to get all the ambiguity cleared up. Funnily enough, with the rule's original wording and examples, I thought the enclosing marks had to be alternating, e.g., "bromo(chloro)fluroro(iodo)methane"; it appears that the intent of the rule has always been to require "bromo(chloro)(fluoro)(iodo)methane (PIN)". LegionMammal978 (talk) 13:43, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Note: Another reason why I was skeptical is that ACD naming software (free) still does not acknowledge it and still produces names like chloro(trifluoro)methane. —Mykhal (talk) 10:05, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

Technically blocked page-move
Regarding moving Di-pi-methane rearrangement to use the actual "pi" symbol, if you don't think the move itself is controversial but are having some sort of technical problem, you can list it at Requested moves/Technical requests and those who are able will sort it out. No harm in starting a formal move-request discussion as you did, since that will also be handled by those with the special tools when they close the discussion.

Doesen't the total number of possible proteins seems relevant for the wiki page about proteins? Claes Lindhardt (talk) 22:13, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

 * You probably relate to your question at Amino acid talk page, which I undid. The reason was that Wikipedia is not a discussion forum, I mean the question seemed rather unanswerable/speculative, and also it was bound to improper article (it's more related to Peptides, Proteins, Protein structure, Structural biology, etc.). Regards, —Mykhal (talk) 15:29, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
 * But it seems like something a lot of people have already had some very concrete thoughts about: here is someone https://theconversation.com/what-is-a-protein-a-biologist-explains-152870 who estimates that there is around 20,000 different proteins in our body. Is there an article about the types and number of proteins in the human body somewhere? Do you think it would be relevant to the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_body article? There is a list of distint skeletal muscles(List of skeletal muscles of the human body) in the human body as well as cell types(List of distinct cell types in the adult human body). So why not a list of proteins occuring in the human body? But it could also make sense to it under something like amino acids as they are what forms the rules for what proteins can come into existence and maybe it is easier and more meaning full to describe the kind of formulas and code from which one derrive the proteins then to list all of them? - Thank you for replying to my initial question, looking forward to hearing your futher thoughts Claes Lindhardt (talk) 10:44, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
 * There are also other people weiging in on it: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4889822/, https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0092867420310783, https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/what-should-you-eat/protein/, https://www.precisionmed.ch/en/what-is-a-protein/ A lot of them seems to lean more towards 10,000 different proteins in the human body Claes Lindhardt (talk) 10:46, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

derivativeFX
Hi Mykhal, as I am only a user that wrote some experiences more than ten years ago, I think I can’t help with derivativeFX. I can confirm that I am also told being allegedly not logged in. I haven’t used derivativeFX for many years. I wasn't even aware of the changes made to my hint page de:Benutzer:Pemu/DerivativeFX.

Currently, as of version from 2022-12-3, the page doesn't contain any of my words anymore, so apparently (assuming it isn’t vandalism) there has been some changes to derivativeFX that renders my hints obsolete. If you want to get the spirit of my hints, read older versions of that page. If appropriate, use e.g. deepl.com to translate. It does a nice job, except that it translates "hier" to "here", despite I think "there" would fit better. Also "Durch einen Fehler, der nicht kurzfristig behoben werden kann, könnte er das geänderte Bild nämlich nicht hochladen" should read "Due to a flaw that cannot corrected at short notice, it could not upload the modified image [itself]."

Office of Hawaiian Affairs

The Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) is a self-governing corporate body of the State of Hawaii created by the 1978 Hawaii State Constitutional Convention.

OHA's mandate is to advance the education, health, housing and economics (Kānaka Maoli) Native Hawaiians. It relies on ʻohana, moʻomeheu and ʻāina to effect change. OHA conducts research and advocacy to shape public policies. OHA works with communities to share information and build public support for Hawaiian issues.

OHA was given control over certain public lands, and acquired other land-holdings for the provision of housing, supporting agriculture, and supporting cultural institutions. The lands initially given to OHA were originally crown lands of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi, which had gone through various forms of public ownership since the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

OHA is a semi-autonomous government body administered by a nine-member board of trustees, elected by the people of the State of Hawaiʻi through popular suffrage.

Background
In 1893, pro-American elements in Hawaii overthrew the monarchy and formed the Republic of Hawaii, which the U.S. annexed in 1898. In 1921, in order to make amends for injustices associated with the overthrow and annexation, the US created the Hawaiian Homes Commissions Act which set aside 200,000 acres of land for the use of homelands for Native Hawaiians of 50% blood quantum or more. It was meant to create some compensation for forced colonization of the indigenous peoples, but in 1959 Hawaii was officially adopted as the fiftieth state of the US, with the Statehood Admissions Act defining "Native Hawaiian" as any person descended from the aboriginal people of Hawaii, living there prior to 1778. The Ceded lands (lands once owned by the Hawaiian kingdom monarchy) were transferred from the federal government to the State of Hawaii for the "betterment of the conditions of the native Hawaiians". In 1978 the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) was created in response to the growing Hawaiian sovereignty movement of the 1970s to manage that portion of the ceded lands allotted to Hawaiian Homelands, advance the lifestyle of Native Hawaiians, preserve Hawaiian culture and protect Native Hawaiian rights. It was established during the 1978 state constitutional convention Government funding has created programs, schools, scholarships and teaching curriculums through OHA. Many of these organizations, agencies and trusts like OHA, have had a good deal of legal issues over the years. In the US Supreme court case; "Rice v. Cayetano", OHA was accused of violating the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the United States constitution with voting provisions that were race-based. The court found for the plaintiff that OHA had violated the fifteenth amendment. OHA has also been questioned for programs and services to Hawaiians of less than the fifty percent, required blood quantum (The minimum requirement to qualify for Hawaiian Homelands).

Board of trustees
The Office of Hawaiian Affairs is governed by an elected board of nine trustees. The constitution provides an outline of that board, "There shall be a board of trustees for the Office of Hawaiian Affairs elected by qualified voters who are Hawaiians, as provided by law. The board members shall be Hawaiians. There shall be not less than nine members of the board of trustees; provided that each of the following Islands have one representative: Oahu, Kauai, Maui, Molokai and Hawaii. The board shall select a chairperson from its members. The board of trustees provision was amended upon a United States Supreme Court ruling in the case of Rice v. Cayetano that non-Hawaiians could not be excluded from the election process, including the right of non-Hawaiians to run for such an office. Trustees are elected to a four-year term by general election of Hawaii registered voters. The board of trustees generally meets twice a month.

The constitution adds, "The board of trustees of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs shall exercise power as provided by law: to manage and administer the proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the lands, natural resources, minerals and income derived from whatever sources for native Hawaiians and Hawaiians, including all income and proceeds from that pro rata portion of the trust referred to in section 4 of this article for native Hawaiians; to formulate policy relating to affairs of native Hawaiians and Hawaiians; and to exercise control over real and personal property set aside by state, federal or private sources and transferred to the board for native Hawaiians and Hawaiians. The board shall have the power to exercise control over the Office of Hawaiian Affairs through its executive officer, the administrator of the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, who shall be appointed by the board. On January 30, 1989 the board of trustees agreed that salaries should be consistent with other departments of the State of Hawaii.

Otherworld (TV series)

Otherworld is an American science fiction television series that aired for eight episodes from January 26 to March 16, 1985 on CBS and was created by Roderick Taylor. Taylor gave himself a cameo role in each episode. The series was later shown in reruns on the Sci Fi Channel.

Overview
In the first episode, the Sterling family (Hal, June, Trace, Gina, Smith) take a tour of the interior of the Great Pyramid of Giza during a conjunction of the planets which takes place once in ten thousand years. They are mysteriously transported to a planet which may or may not also reside in a parallel universe.

The other planet, Thel, is inhabited by humans (and some androids) and divided into isolated provinces with different governments and ways of life. Travel between provinces is strictly regulated by "Zone Troopers" and the people of one province know nothing of the others. The province of Imar (ruled by a Praetor) appears to be the central seat of government for the whole of the planet. The pilot episode refers to "territories", android creators, and "wars of unification". The Church of Artificial Intelligence is the official state religion of Thel, and no conflicting ideologies are permitted.

Having acquired an access crystal by accident, after a scuffle with a high-ranking Zone Trooper named Commander Kroll (Jonathan Banks) the Sterlings can now access all of the Zones. Kroll then pursues the Sterlings in effort to take back the crystal.

A series of Egyptian-like stone markers (obelisks), each with one eye, are supposed to mark the way to Imar, a city with beautiful buildings and a suspension bridge (the city shown in the opening credits, apparently intended to be Imar, is a photographic negative of New York City).

Each episode has the family dealing with the unfamiliar ways of life in each zone, and at the end of the episode, fleeing one zone for another, pursued by Commander Kroll who seeks the crystal, and also revenge.

Cast

 * Sam Groom as Hal Sterling (father)
 * Gretchen Corbett as June Sterling (mother)
 * Tony O'Dell as Trace Sterling (teenaged son)
 * Jonna Lee as Gina Sterling (teenaged daughter)
 * Brandon Crane and Chris Hebert as Smith Sterling (youngest son); Crane played Smith in the pilot, which was aired as the first and fifth episodes
 * Jonathan Banks as Kommander Nuveen Kroll
 * Wayne Alexander as Lieutenant Zero (Kommander Kroll's aide)

Syndication
The series was rerun on the USA Network, and re-shown several times on the Sci-Fi Channel. Otherworld was aired in the United Kingdom on the ITV network, except in the Thames/LWT region.

NY-29, 2006
Nice work on the NY-29 election article. I had been meaning to flesh that out for a while, but can see it was done better that I could have done. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cjs56 (talk • contribs) 14:20, 4 January 2007 (UTC).

Thanks Hagerman. And how you liked the 2008 effort. DemiFL 21:38, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

The 2008 page looks good as it is, except that it needs citations. Good work being proactive on this one. I've added it to my watchlist, and if I see any developments I'll add them. --Cjs56 21:48, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Please do NOT copy and paste content to rename pages--use the Move tab
The Greg Warren (football player) article page should have been Moved to Greg Warren (NFL football)--not transfered via cut&paste. Using cut&paste separates the content from its edit history, which is a problem with the GFDL license, among other things, which admins then have to clean up. Thanks.

Cuban Boys

The Cuban Boys are an English electronic group and production team, currently composed of Skreen B and Ricardo Autobahn; the band formerly also included B.L. Underwood ("Blu") and Jenny McLaren (Autobahn's sister). Their music is characterised by fast electronic beats, heavy reliance upon samples and the repetition of the name drop "the Cuban Boys" in the background of many of their tracks. They achieved success after being aired on John Peel's BBC Radio 1 show with sample-heavy dance tracks and cut-ups and were responsible for the UK No. 4 hit single "Cognoscenti vs. Intelligentsia" which was released through EMI.

Band formation
The Cuban Boys formed in 1998 using the Internet as a publicity and collaboration tool from the outset. After a web-only release of an anonymous dance track, "Diophantus Arithmetica", with hints that it was by Noel Gallagher, they recorded "Oh My God! They Killed Kenny" (later retitled "Kenny"), which featured sampled dialogue from South Park combined with "The Bump" by Kenny. This was played extensively by John Peel and took the 6th position in the 1998 Festive Fifty. Following this it was released as the band's first single. A six-track EP, Blueprint for Modernisation, followed. A track from this EP, "Cuban Boy (Cuban Boys Go Boom! Mix)", went on to be used as the theme music for the BBC sitcom Still Game.

"Cognoscenti vs. Intelligentsia"
The Cuban Boys' next single, "Cognoscenti vs. Intelligentsia" was built on a sample used from "Whistle Stop" by Roger Miller which was featured in the Disney movie Robin Hood. It was first featured online as part of the Hampster Dance song on the website of the same name. It was picked up by producer Jonathan King who championed it and found a label to release it. The same sample was later used as the basis for the song "Irritating Hamster" by DJ Mavica, then as part of the Cuban Boys' hit (a close but noticeably different imitation of the original sample was used in the final release, as the licensing fees could not be met).

"Cognoscenti vs. Intelligentsia" became a No. 4 hit in the UK in December 1999, following months of speculation and rumours - all of which turned out to be false - that the men behind the Cuban Boys project were in fact Paul Weller and Noel Gallagher of Oasis. Either way, the track received many requests for play on radio, and was heavily hyped as a contender for the Christmas number one spot. Upon release, the single peaked at No. 4 on the Christmas chart, outsold only by Westlife, Cliff Richard (with "The Millennium Prayer"), and a re-release of John Lennon's "Imagine". It also took the number one position in the 1999 Festive Fifty.

The Cuban Boys co-wrote Atomic Beat Boy with Helen Love, released as a CD single, followed by a 12-inch remix EP 'Helen Love Vs Cuban Boys: Does Your Heart Go Boom'.

Eastwood
In 2000, the Cuban boys released their first album, Eastwood, through EMI but, despite the popularity of "Cognoscenti vs. Intelligentsia", Eastwood suffered poor sales. It was not released in time to capitalise on the success of "Cognoscenti vs. Intelligentsia" and was given limited marketing. Some of the older tunes featuring unauthorised samples had them replaced by obvious imitations.

Following the commercial failure of Eastwood, the band were dropped by the label and left with some bitterness, later expressed through their releasing of a 7-inch cover version of the Sex Pistols' "EMI".

Later work
Commercially, little was heard of the band itself after Eastwood, although they released several limited release singles and EPs. The band focused mainly on Internet downloads, and made much of their early discography available free of charge from their various websites and on Myspace. All the members became involved in other projects and although the Cuban Boys never formally split up, the band ceased to be active around 2001. Its members continued to work together under various names, most notably Spray.

Following the death of John Peel in 2004, the Cuban Boys (now consisting only of Skreen B and Ricardo Autobahn) reformed to release a tribute song, "The Nation Needs You", as a free download. Following this, they returned to producing individual tracks, releasing some of them as download-only or limited release CD singles. In 2008, they released their first full album since Eastwood, The Satellite Junkyard on their own record label, House of Beauty.

In 2010, the Cuban Boys released a greatest hits compilation of their singles. Art vs Commerce amounted to twenty one tracks, and was released once again on House of Beauty Records. The cover for the CD consists of a booklet with new artwork and a detailed history of the band.

Their third album, Machines was released in 2017.

Interactive Disassembler

The Interactive Disassembler (IDA) is a disassembler for computer software which generates assembly language source code from machine-executable code. It supports a variety of executable formats for different processors and operating systems. It can also be used as a debugger for Windows PE, Mac OS X Mach-O, and Linux ELF executables. A decompiler plug-in, which generates a high level, C source code-like representation of the analysed program, is available at extra cost.

IDA is used widely in software reverse engineering, including for malware analysis and software vulnerability research. IDA has been referred to as the "de-facto industry standard disassembler".

History
Ilfak Guilfanov began working on IDA in 1990, and initially distributed it as a shareware application. In 1996, the Belgian company DataRescue took over the development of IDA and began to sell it as a commercial product, under the name IDA Pro.

Initial versions of IDA did not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and ran as an extended DOS, OS/2, or Windows console application. In 1999, DataRescue released the first version of IDA Pro with a GUI, IDA Pro 4.0.

In 2005, Guilfanov founded Hex-Rays to pursue the development of the Hex-Rays Decompiler IDA extension. In January 2008, Hex-Rays assumed the development and support of DataRescue's IDA Pro.

In 2022, Hex-Rays was acquired by Smartfin, a European venture capital and private equity investor.

Features
IDA disassembles a compiled program back into an assembly language representation. In addition to performing basic disassembly, IDA also automatically annotates disassembled programs with information about:

 * cross-references between code and data in the program
 * function locations, function stack frames, and function calling conventions
 * reconstructed data types

However, the nature of disassembly precludes total accuracy, and a great deal of human intervention is necessarily required; IDA has interactive functionality to aid in improving the disassembly. A typical IDA user will begin with an automatically generated disassembly listing and then convert sections from code to data and vice versa, rename, annotate, and otherwise add information to the listing, until its functionality becomes clear.

Scripting
"IDC scripts" make it possible to extend the operation of the disassembler. Some helpful scripts are provided, which can serve as the basis for user written scripts. Most frequently scripts are used for extra modification of the generated code. For example, external symbol tables can be loaded thereby using the function names of the original source code.

Users have created plugins that allow other common scripting languages to be used instead of, or in addition to, IDC. IdaRUB supports Ruby and IDAPython adds support for Python. As of version 5.4, IDAPython (dependent on Python 2.5) comes preinstalled with IDA Pro.

Debugging
IDA Pro supports a number of debuggers, including:

 * Remote Windows, Linux, and Mac applications (provided by Hex-Rays) allow running an executable in its native environment (presumably using a virtual machine for malware)
 * GNU Debugger (gdb) is supported on Linux and OS X, as well as the native Windows debugger
 * A Bochs plugin is provided for debugging simple applications (i.e., damaged UPX or mpress compacted executables)
 * An Intel PIN-based debugger
 * A trace replayer

Versions
The latest full version of IDA Pro is commercial (version 8.4 as of June 2024), while a less capable version, named IDA Free, is available for download free of cost.

Logo
IDA Pro's logo is a cropped image of Françoise d'Aubigné, Marquise de Maintenon. The logo image is similar to a  miniature painting of Françoise d'Aubigné attested to a painter in the circle of Pierre Mignard.

The original greyscale version of the logo was introduced in September 1999, with the release of IDA 4.0. Ilfak Guilfanov has stated that the logo is not a depiction of Saint Ida of Louvain.

2000 Tottenham by-election

The Labour Member of Parliament for Tottenham, Bernie Grant, died on 8 April 2000, creating a by-election in his constituency.

Grant was one of the first four black MPs and the constituency was one of the centres of the London Afro-Caribbean community. However, Grant's widow Sharon (who was white) declared her intention to seek selection and this split opinion within the local Labour Party. Both Sharon and Bernie Grant had been on the left-wing of the party whereas the leading black contender for the nomination, David Lammy, was a supporter of Tony Blair. After a close-fought selection battle, Lammy was chosen. During the campaign, Sharon Grant made a public show of supporting his election campaign in order not to allow disunity in the Labour Party.

Polling day in the by-election was on 22 June, when Lammy comfortably retained the seat for Labour on a low turnout. Neither of the other main party candidates was able to mount a credible challenge in a seat where Labour was so strongly ahead, with Liberal Democrat candidate and future Chippenham MP Duncan Hames finishing second, and Conservative candidate and future Battersea MP Jane Ellison coming third.

All three candidates from the Labour, Conservative and Lib Dem parties in this by-election would go on to become MPs. Lammy won and became the MP for Tottenham a seat he holds to this day, Lib Dem Duncan Hames became the MP for Chippenham in 2010, losing in 2015 and Jane Ellison became the MP for Battersea in 2010, losing in 2017.
