Reverted burying of information re: firing
This was, and is, a significant and noteworthy part of his career, worthy of being included. To give this a part of his MSNBC career is a way of burying the information when, he left his long-term career, alleging bias at MSNBC. By every imaginable metric, this deserves its own section. It might not be in the one it's in, but one sentence to describe it, simply is not enough. WobInDisguise (talk) 14:11, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for bringing this here for discussion; I was about to do the same. For reference, Your preferred edit is . My preferred edit is . You want to make a whole subsection, titled " Allegations of bias at MSNBC against Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign and subsequent firing", out of comments he made to National Review in an interview after he went to work for RT. In the comments he claimed he had been fired by MSNBC for supporting the campaign of Bernie Sanders, that he was ordered not to cover the launch of Sanders' campaign, and that MSNBC was "in the tank" for Clinton. He also praised RT, his current employer, as giving him creative freedom and the opportunity to do "real journalism". I felt the "fired because of Sanders" and "MSNBC" comments were worth covering, but in a sentence rather than a subsection, and I trimmed it to that newsworthy content. The balance of his complaints about MSNBC were clearly untrue, such as his claim that he was ordered not to cover Sanders' announcement, when according to the Examiner source he did cover it and so did the program that followed him, Al Sharpton. And he was fired, not at the time, but two months later along with two other people as part of a reshuffle. And as for his praise for RT, I am not surprised that he feels obliged to kiss up to his employer, but that is not the reputation that RT has; it is owned by and reportedly dictated by the Russian government. So now you have restored the whole subsection; I am leaving it there while we discuss. IMO it should be trimmed back to a sentence, namely that somewhat newsworthy claim (I say somewhat because it was covered only by a couple of right-wing outlets, the Washington Examiner and the Free Beacon - but it is his own words so I think we can use them) that he was fired for supporting Sanders. If you want to include the rest, and if others agree, we could do so but would have to also include the evidence I cited here contradicting his claims. IMO that would way overbalance our coverage of one interview, in this article which is supposed to be a biography of his whole life. -- MelanieN (talk) 17:56, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
 * We will need more opinions. It doesn't seem like this page has any regular watchers. I'm pinging some of the people who made significant edits to this article in the past year: Do you care to weigh in on the discussion above? -- MelanieN (talk) 19:13, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
 * No opinion. My involvement with this article has strictly been the reversion of vandalism and subsequent minor content editing.  General Ization Talk  20:05, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I have examined the circumstances, and have formed an opinion. I believe that the longer section supported by WobInDisguise is heavily reliant on two sources, and gives undue weight on this particular subject matter. It is my opinion that the coverage is at a satisfiable extent with MelanieN's version. If anything, both citations could be used for the single sentence. That way, redacting Ed's specific comments would be fine, and would still be readily accessible to anyone clicking on the links of those citations.

 * Also, I feel that the sub-section heading is a bit long, and the title alone disrupts the flow of the article. Mungo Kitsch (talk) 17:54, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Oops, made some c/e edits to section under discussion not realizing there was an ongoing discussion here. In any event, I don't see anything wrong with the section. From reading its contents seems similar to the "Controversies" sections in many existing articles, except that here it's within his "Career" section. Since the events occurred as part of his career and his career's events appear in chrono order, I have no problem with the section (or its length). Mercy11 (talk) 01:31, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

“Natural Causes”
When I studied journalism in college in 2012-2014 we were taught that we could not write “natural causes” for a death. Why? It is a weasel phrase and it is inaccurate. Journalists are supposed to find the cause of death and report on it. Why? Partly so we know that somebody actually died.

If somebody died before the average lifespan, I contend that their death is not natural causes. If Shultz would have died from natural causes he would have died in his 70s. 75 is the average lifespan for a man in the U.S. He died over a decade early for some reason. Does anyone know why?

I think every Wikipedia article that cites “natural causes” as a cause of death should be notated with something that indicates more information is needed. Does anybody agree? How could this change be made? Also, does anybody know how Schultz actually died? Jasonagastrich (talk) 22:24, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
 * If you're determined to get an answer as to the exact cause of death, the primary source would be the coroner's report. I would expect the report to say something along the lines of it being a natural death (as opposed to a suicide or homicide) with no particular expansion as to why he died.  If you think the "death" section could use copy-editing (or that the article could be restructured to put that as part of a "Biography" or "Personal life" section so there isn't undue weight in the section headings to his death), go ahead and edit it. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 22:30, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict) We are limited by what the family chooses to announce, and there is no call for us to "investigate" further. There is nothing wrong with "natural causes". A person can die of natural causes at any age. "Natural causes" usually means illness; basically it's a way of saying it was a natural death, it wasn't homicide, suicide, or accident. If the family chooses not to reveal all the details ("liver cancer", "stroke", "ruptured aneurysm", or whatever), that is their privilege. It may be too painful for them to have to explain it to the world. And as long as it was natural causes - nothing suspicious or newsworthy in itself - then it's basically none of our business. -- MelanieN (talk) 23:25, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
 * We were told to get a copy of the death certificate. I do not think a death certificate ever says natural causes on it. Since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, I am surprised that “natural causes” is allowed. Perhaps the human body can live for ever and perhaps death is not natural at all. Also, sometimes people die from chemotherapy and not the ailment and I think it would be wise and encyclopedic to mention chemo when that happens. Some people could continue to live without chemotherapy. Jasonagastrich (talk) 23:58, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. We are not journalism. We are a tertiary source: we summarize what has been reported by reliable secondary sources. We do NOT do original research or go hunting up primary sources. If "natural causes" is good enough for the sources we draw our information from, then it is good enough for us. -- MelanieN (talk) 05:05, 16 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your candor. I have brought this to AP’s attention along with major news networks. U.S. journalism has some serious issues nowadays and this is one of them. Jasonagastrich (talk) 02:28, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

== Schultz, who was touted as the "Voice of the Bison" for many years at WDAY, left in 1996 and began broadcasting for KFGO in Fargo, doing play-by-play work on University of North Dakota (UND) Fighting Hawks football broadcasts beginning in 1998. Schultz left as UND play-by-play man in 2003 to focus on his national radio show. ==

I am pretty sure he was with North Dakota State University (NDSU) and not the great University of North Dakota (UND).

Bernos-Beaulac

Bernos-Beaulac (Bernòs e Baulac) is a commune in the Gironde department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France.

The principal settlement in the commune is the village of Beaulac, situated where the  crosses the Ciron river.

The RN 524 forms part of the Itinéraire à Grand Gabarit, a route which has been modified to allow its use by the oversize road convoys conveying body sections and wings of the Airbus A380 airliner. Major works were required to permit this, including widening of the bridge over the Ciron, reconstructed junctions and the rebuilding of 500 m of road through Beaulac with new pedestrian paths, central islands and lighting.

Personalities

 * Mitt Romney was injured in a car accident June 16, 1968 in Bernos-Beaulac, when he was a Mormon missionary in France. He had a broken arm, but was mistakenly declared dead at the scene of the accident.

Talk:Rochelle Railroad Park

History
It would be helpful to identify the year and the two railroads were which originally crossed at this location. It might have been the Chicago and North Western Railway (or was it a predecessor?), but I doubt that the other original RR was the Burlington Northern Railroad, as the article implies. Also, it would help to identify when the crossing became double-track in both directions, as it is currently configured. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mmathu (talk • contribs) 09:00, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Reisen erster Klasse und zweiter Klasse für willige Wikifanten zur Wikimania 2012
Dirk F. (laut Signatur der Mail ist er das Präsidium eines eingetragenen Vereins) erinnert in der Mailingliste daran, dass bereits übermorgen die Frist zur Bewerbung für den Reisekostenzuschuss zur Wikimania 2012 (von der Wikimedia Stipendium³) genannt) in Washington, D.C. ausläuft. Es gibt Reisen erster Klasse und Reisen zweiter Klasse zu gewinnen.

In der ersten Gewinnklasse werden für die auserwählten Applicants „Hin- und Rückfahrt“, „Schlafunterkunft“ bezahlt und die Auserwählten dürfen sich, nicht zu vergessen, kostenlos registrieren lassen. Der Eintritt (Registrierungsgebühr zu Gunsten der durchführenden Einheit) ist in sechs Varianten erhältlich. Er kostet zwischen 35 U$D für frühbuchende Usernameinhaber und 95 Dollars für jene, die ihren Usernamen vergessen (oder nicht nennen wollen, naja, ... Schwamm drüber) und den Termin verschwitzt haben. Ob es einen Rabatt bei mehreren Benutzerkonten gibt, war trotz gründlichster, zeitraubender Recherche der gesamten Jauchegrubenredaktion leider nicht zu erfahren.

In der zweiten Gewinnklasse bekommen handverlesene Wikipedianer 300 € Reisekostenzuschuss für die Reise stipendiert. Ein Kissen kann gemietet werden. Für mitgebrachte Kissen mit Übergröße wird ein Zuschlag fällig.

Damit niemand nach Herkunft benachteiligt wird, wird der Reisekostenzuschuss in kontinentbezogene Kontingente aufgeteilt: Afrika bekommt 10%, genauso viel wie Europa, MENA, GUS und Nordamerika, also bekommen alle gleich viel, man ist wie halt für dings... wie hieß es noch.. ach ja: Gleichbehandlung, oder so. Nur Asien & Pazifik bekommt 30% (die sind ja auch zu zweit) und „Süd-/Lateinamerika“ teilen sich 20%, weil dort der Frauenanteil der Wikipedia höher ist und wir ja frauenfreundlich werden wollen, wobei bei letzteren noch herausgefunden werden muss, ob die südamerikanische oder die lateinamerikanische mehr Artikel vorweisen kann.

Die Selektion Auswahl der Applicants erfolgt streng nach nachträglich festgelegten wissenschaftlichen Kriterien eines unflexiblen Prozentschemas. Auch hier lohnt sich wieder Fleiß. 50 % des Scores des Applifanten werden durch den gegenwärtigen oder historischen Level an den Wikimedijaprojekten gerated. 35 % des Wikifantenscores will be rated on future goals for participating in the Wikimedia movement (zu deutsch: 35 % der Wikifantenwertung ergibt sich aus dem [erkennbaren] Willen zur enzyklopädischen Mitarbeit). Wie jederfant sehen kann, geht hier alles voll unwillkürlich zu. Die meisten, noch festzulegenden Punkte gibt es zum Beipiel für Very strong desire to be involved with the Wikimedia movement going forward; specific, concrete ideas for how applicant's unique skills, styles, and interests can be incorporated into and enhance the Wikimedia movement. Hingegen keine Punkte werden verteilt für geringe oder unklare Lust, an dem Voranschreiten der Wikimedia-Bewegung (ja, die Bewegung ;-) beteiligt zu sein; unklare und unüberdachte Ideen, wie die Begabungen, Stile und Interessen der Autoren auf Wikimedia integriert werden und die Wikimedia-Bewegung verbessert werden kann. Also: unintegrierte Eiterbeutel mit schlecht recherchierten Benutzernamensraumunterseiten kriegen hier vermutlich zero Points.

Ach ja, apropos Beutel. Wer wissen will, wieviel die Wikimania insgesamt kostet, und wie hoch die Summe der „Stipendien“ insgesamt ist, wende sich bitte an den Kurier, der ist für integrierte Berichterstattung mit dem very strong desire to be involved in ten muhfmänt -- zuständig. Wer mit der Berichterstattung des hochdotierten DC² nicht einverstanden ist: Leute, den Weg zur Wiederwahlseite des Dödelclubs kennt ihr ja...

Tut mir leid, ist wieder total unsachlich, unausgewogen und unrecherchiert geworden. Gruß, Fuß. --Brummfuss - Autorengilde № 1 21:23, 14. Feb. 2012 (CET)

Die finanziellen $orgen der Wikimedia
Man muss sich um die Finanzen der Wikimedia sehr große Sorgen machen. Auf mysteriöse Weise klafft zwischen den Finanzplanungen der Wikimedia Foundation und der Wirklichkeit eine Kluft von mehreren Millionen, und das nun seit Jahren. Alljährlich wird der Leser eindringlichst aufgefordert, der Wikimedia Geld zu überweisen, damit die Wikipedia und ihre Schwesterprojekte weiter betrieben werden können. Den Aufrufen nach zu urteilen steht den Wikifanten das Wasser bis zum Hals und es muss - ähnlich wie in Griechenland - ganz schnell ein Rettungspaket her. Jimbo verkauft seinen rostigen Kleinwagen, um noch zwei Tage die Wikipedia am laufen zu halten, aber dann folgt unweigerlich das Aus. Statt Wikipedia nur noch Fehlercode 404?
 * Die Wikipedia braucht Deine finanzielle Unterstützung!

Die Sorgen eines charmant grinsenden Geschäftsführers im Spendenaufruf sind noch nicht einmal gespielt. Im Finanzplan der Wikimedia wird das Problem des underspending artikuliert (Wikimedia Foundation: 2011-12 Annual Plan.). Man gibt zu wenig aus. Die Folge: Das Barvermögen der Wikimedia wächst unaufhaltsam. Die Spendenkampagne Ende 2008 hat der Wikimedia 8,7 Mio $ eingespielt, wovon sie 2008/2009 5,2 Mio $ für allerhand Dinge ausgab, die wohl für den Betrieb der Projekte notwendig sein sollen. 2009/2010 bekam die WMF dann 16,0 Mio $ geschenkt und gab davon 9,1 Mio $ gleich wieder aus. Der Überschuss beläuft sich bis dahin also überschlägig auf mindestens 9,4 Mio $. Und was macht man nun mit einem zurückgelegten Barvermögen in Höhe von 9.400.000 $? - Na klar, man sammelt noch aggressiver Spenden.
 * Die Sorge der Wikifanten - Eine Kluft von Millionen.

Allein in der zweiten Hälfte 2010, während der nächsten Spendenkampagne (fundraiser) nahm die WMF deutlich mehr ein, als geplant, nämlich 18,1 Mio $ statt 15,1. Dafür fielen die Ausgaben aber auch deutlich geringer aus, als beabsichtigt. Statt den geplanten Ausgaben in Höhe von 10 Mio wurden nur 7,7 Mio $ ausgegeben, so dass der Überschuss nicht wie geplant nur 5,1 Mio $ betrug, sondern - welch Pech - mit 10,4 Mio $ mehr als doppelt soviel in dem letzten Halbjahr 2010. (Wikimedia Foundation: Financial Statements 2010.)

Die Ausgaben für Internet Hosting betrugen etwa 642,000 $. Doppelt soviel zahlte man angeblich an Banken; als Ausgaben wurden hier auch 1,6 Mio $ für Bank fees (Bankgebühren), einmal Operating Expenses und nochmal other Operating Expenses, Capital Expenditures (was wohl soviel wie "Finanzierungskosten" bedeutet) angeführt. Nur wer ein naiver Dödel wie der Autor dieses Beitrages ist, vermutet, wenn man Geld hat, bekommt man im Kapitalismus dafür Zinsen. Nicht so bei der Wikimedia, die müssen anscheinend dafür Strafe zahlen. Löhne und Gehälter machten in jenem halben Jahr 2,9 Mio $ aus (geplant waren knapp 3,8 Mio $) und für Reisen und Meetings gab es 580.000 $ - einer der wenigen Posten, die höher als geplant (444.000 waren für das halbe Jahr veranschlagt) ausfielen.
 * Finanzierungskosten bei 10 Mio $ Vermögen?

Natürlich muss man nach den Ursachen fragen: Warum waren die Kosten viel geringer, als geplant? Allen voran wird als Grund genannt, dass die Besetzung neuer Arbeitsplätze langsamer ablief, als im Plan gefordert. Angeblich wurden die Stellenbesetzung verlangsamt, um die Qualität sicherzustellen. Das ist in meinen Augen, wenn man sich hier so umguckt, auch ganz sinnvoll. Allerdings waren auch weniger Freiwillige anwesend, die freiwillig Kosten verursacht haben könnten. Das habe zu einer Budgetunterschreitung geführt. Leider waren daher auch die Reisekosten viel niedriger, weil weniger Leute reisen konnten.
 * Möchte denn wirklich niemand für die WMF arbeiten?

Das kommt uns bekannt vor. Laut Wikimedia ist der Arbeitswikifant vom Aussterben bedroht und nach eigener Wikimedia-Vorhersage wird die Population von 90.000 im März 2011 bis Juni 2012 auf eine 79.000-köpfige Herde schrumpfen. Man setzt sich das Ziel, die Zahl der Wikifanten bis 2012 auf 95.000 zu erhöhen. Dazu sollen spezielle Zuchtprogramme in Indien und Brasilien durchgeführt werden, um neue Autoren zu erzeugen. Dies wird auch die bislang zu niedrigen Reisekosten anheben. (Da übrigens gleichzeitig die Zahl weiblicher Wikifanten dringend erhöht werden muss, sollte man sich überlegen, gezielt indische Frauen und Brasilianerinnen anzuwerben. Anschließend können Reisen für einen RL-Austausch finanziert werden - das würde auch die Auswirkungen sozialen Schließung mindern).

Der Bericht stellt gnadenlos die erdrückenden finanziellen Probleme der Wikimedia dar:
 * Drei weitere Probleme und ihre Lösung

 * Problem zwei: Es wird weniger ausgegeben, als geplant. Vor allem für das Personal, hier sind weniger Stellen geschaffen worden, als beabsichtigt.
 * Lösung: Es wird im nächsten Finanzplan noch mehr Geld für Personal eingeplant. Für Löhne und Gehälter muss bis zum Jahresende 2012 6,9 Mio $ mehr ausgegeben werden, als Ende 2010. Die Lohnkosten müssen für das Überleben der Projekte unbedingt durch die Schaffung neuer Stellen von 6,5 Mio $ auf 13,4 Mio $ verdoppelt werden.

 * Problem drei: Durch permanent erfolgreiche Spendenkampagnen bei gleichzeitig - trotz größter Anstrengungen - sehr geringer Kosten (der Wikifant der ersten Generation arbeitet schon mit einem Haufen Heu und einem Eimer Wasser ganz gut), hat sich bei der Wikimedia ein Barvermögen von ca. 14,3 Mio $ angesammelt (Juni 2011).
 * Lösung: Die eisernen Notreserven für den Ernstfall werden bis Juni 2012 auf 20,7 Mio $ erhöht.

 * Problem vier: Bislang sind die fundraiser (Spendenkampagnen) viel erfolgreicher gewesen, als man sich jemals erträumt hätte.
 * Lösung: Man beabsichtigt eine Spendenkampagne durchzuführen, die (wörtlich) aggressiver als alle bisherigen ausfallen wird:

"The 2011-12 revenue targets are WMF's most aggressive ever." (Wikimedia 2011/2012 Annual Plan, S. 20) ***

(Source: Diderot-Club) Following text has been partly deleted by User:Martina Nolte in German Wikipedia :

Wikipedianerin forderte 58.000 Euro wegen Lizenzverstoß:

Wer andern eine Mahnung schreibt...
'''...sollte besser größere finanzielle Rücklagen haben, oder Rechtsanwaltshonorare auf Erfolgsbasis vereinbaren. Denn im Zweifelsfall droht ein kostspieliges Gerichtsverfahren, dass nicht immer zu Gunsten des Abmahners ausgeht. Eine Fotografin der Wikipedia mahnte einen Kollegen mehrfach ab und strengte sogar gerichtliche Verhandlungen an, konnte sich aber nicht durchsetzen. In anderen Fällen sind weniger wehrhafte Menschen Adressaten von Abmahnungen.'''

Alvars Freude
Erinnern wir uns: Alvars Freude war im letzten Herbst der Mahnerin Leid. Frau Nolte forderte von Herrn Freude nach dessen eigenen Angaben einmal 1400 Euro und einmal 890 Euro bereits im Jahre 2008 und drohte später mit einer Schadens- und Kostenersatzforderung in Höhe von insgesamt 58.000 Euro. Ein Unterlassungsanspruch habe sie, so der Rechtsanwalt Freudes, jedoch nicht geltend gemacht. Bei Heise liest sich das geringfügig anders: Frau Nolte störte sich an dem Traffic, der der armen Wikimedia Foundation unnötige Kosten verursachen würde und ihr ginge es daher um die Unterlassung. Sie versuchte eine Urheberrechtsverletzung durch das Amtsgericht Hamburg festzustellen - und scheiterte das erste mal. Das AG sah in dem Web-Blaster, der die Seiten der Wikipedia wie von anderen Webseiten nur weiterreichte und abbildete, weder eine Speicherung ihrer Bildwerke, noch eine andere Urheberrechtsverletzung (Der DC und andere Seiten berichteten ausführlich). Doch Frau Nolte ließ nicht locker und versuchte es vor dem Landgericht Hamburg - und scheiterte ein zweites mal. Der Richter machte darauf aufmerksam, dass Frau Nolte die Vervielfältigung nachweisen müsse. Freude schreibt in seinem Blog:
 * „Eine lokale Kopie hätte nur durch einen gerichtlich bestellten Gutachter, der Code und Server begutachtet, bewiesen werden können. Dies hätte aber zu weiteren Kosten von geschätzten 2500 bis 3000 Euro geführt, die von der Klägerin vorzustrecken sind. Einen Vergleich habe ich abgelehnt, da mir eine Entscheidung und Rechtssicherheit wichtig waren.“

Nolte zog („auf indirektes Zureden des Gerichts“) die Klage zurück und musste nicht nur auf ihre Wunschsumme von 58.000 Euro verzichten, sondern auch die Verfahrens- und Rechtsanwaltskosten tragen. Wir freuen uns mit Alvar.

Anderer Leid
Weniger Freude mit der Wikipedia hat seit letztem Herbst eine Münchnerin, Mutter von vier Kindern, mit eher durchschnittlichem Verdienst. Ihr flatterte meinem geheimen Infofanten zu Folge im November 2010 eine Abmahnung von einem weiteren Benutzer der deutschen Wikipedia (der quasi mit Realnamen hier angemeldet ist) ins Haus. In ihrem Blog benutzte sie blauäugig eine Fotografie aus der Wikipedia. Wikipedia ist ja eine freie Enzyklopädie, die von Freiwilligen aus Herzensgüte erstellt wird, damit jedefrau ihren Blog damit verschönern könne. Sie meinte der Lizenz gerecht zu werden, in dem sie als Quelle die Wikipedia angab und den Lizenztext verlinkte. Der Urheber des Fotos, Teilnehmer des Fotoworkshops, sah das anders und mahnte ab. Der weitere Hergang ist noch offen.

Der Antrag des Erfinders, Sebmol

In der Diskussion Benutzer:Stepro/CPB wird noch ein mal klargestellt, dass die geförderten Projektvorschläge nicht vom Verein realisiert werden sollen, sondern ausschließlich nur solche Vorschläge gefördert würden, die von "Teams" oder "Einzelpersonen" durchgeführt würden (GO des CPB).

 * Mit diesem Förderprogramm sollen Ideen gefördert werden, hinter denen Personen stehen, die bereit (aber vielleicht mangels finanziellen Mitteln nicht fähig) sind, sie umzusetzen. Das CPB ist kein allgemeiner Ideenwettbewerb, wo die besten Ideen prämiert und dann "irgendwie" (notfalls durch den Verein) umgesetzt werden sollen. sebmol ? ! 13:08, 18. Jul. 2011 (CEST)

 * Als "Erfinder" des CPB habe ich die Unterstützung durch den Verein klar als beschränkt auf die Antragstellung sowie die Begleitung (Berichte, Mittelüberweisung, Beratung) danach gesehen. Der Beschluss der MV sagt auch klar und deutlich aus, dass geförderte Projekte eben nicht vom Verein umgesetzt werden sollen. Das heißt, dass die Projektleitung und die personellen und materiellen Ressourcen nicht vom Verein kommen. Er ist hier primär Geldgeber, ähnlich wie viele Förderstellen in anderen Kontexten. In meiner Idealvorstellung organisiert sich das Projektteam selbst, wirbt Mittel ein (nicht nur vom Verein), setzt das Projekt um und steht persönlich für seinen Erfolg oder Misserfolg ein. Damit verbunden ist für mich, dass das CPB eigentlich nur große Projekte fördern soll, wobei ich "groß" hier mit mindestens 40T Euro verbinde, eher mehr. sebmol ? ! 13:08, 18. Jul. 2011 (CEST)

Ganz konform mit seiner Erfindung beantragt Sebastian Moleski für sein eigenes Projekt bei dem CPB eine ganz kleine finanzielle Unterstützung, da die Gesamtinvestition von 160.000 € nicht von ihm und seinen Mitstreitern aufgebracht werden kann. Sebastian M. (langjähriger Unternehmer und Manager mit vielen Jahren Erfahrung in der Veranstaltungsplanung), Marcel S. (seit über zehn Jahren in der Gastronomie-Branche) und "Janneman" (ebenfalls zehn Jahren in der Gastronomie- und Unterkunftsbranche) beantragten für ein "Café" die dezente Summe von 60.000 € geschenkt zu bekommen (Antrag zur Förderung).

"Bei den Verhandlungen zum Merchandising und der Nutzung der Marke mit der Foundaton werden wir auf die Unterstützung des Vereins angewiesen sein. Eine weitere Unterstützung ist nicht notwendig," schreibt der erste Vorsitzende des Vereins. Aus gut unterrüchteten Kreisen soll es bereits im Vorfeld Gespräche mit der WMF in California über Merchandisingmöglichkeiten gegeben haben.

Laut Kalkulation (PDF) soll der "Bruttogewinn" sich auf jährlich ca. 400.000 € belaufen. Der Umsatz für Merchandising sollte etwa 72.000 bis 79.000 € betragen. Natürlich hätte man auch Mieten (ca. 50.000/Jahr) und Lohnkosten begleichen müssen. Die Lohnkosten wurden mit bis zu ca. 221.000 € angesetzt. Laut Kalkulation würde das Unternehmen gewinnbringend bereits im ersten Jahr nach der Gründung, und dann jährlich steigende Gewinne von ca. 60.000 € erwirtschaften. Das sind also neben den Kräften für den Service (vielleicht würde es hier auch ehrenamtliches Engagement geben) und die Gehälter der drei Geschäftsführer eine Verzinsung des eingesetzten Eigenkapitals (100.000 €) von 30 bis 60 %. Nicht schlecht, wenn man sich 60.000 € schenken lassen kann und weiß, was man damit machen muss.

Achim Raschkas Vorschlag sieht dagegen ganz blaß aus. Dieser wollte 10.800 € haben für eine "ergebnisoffene Diskussion", ob man ein Café in Köln als "Community-Stützpunkt" einrichten können sollen würde. Ob die Verzinsung wird hier während der Diskussionen ausgeschenkt wird, und zwar als free beer (siehe seinen Blog Free as in Free Beer) - ich weiß es nicht.

Nun würde man natürlich erwarten, dass der finanzielle Gewinn ein großer Nutzen für die Wikipedia-Community ist. Laut Projektbeschreibung ist der Nutzen für die Wikipedia-Community aber nicht finanzieller Natur, sondern rein ideel. Das Café soll nämlich eine Begnegnungs- und Austauschstätte der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia-Community werden, die Zusammenhalt und die Produktivität der Community steigert, womit letztlich die Sammlung und Verbreitung Freien Wissens gefördert wird.

Zudem soll Das Café als niedrigschwelliger Anlaufpunkt für Interessierte an der Wikipedia, den Wikimedia-Projekten sowie Freies Wissen allgemein dienen, nämlich für alle, die eine zu große Hemmschwelle haben, sich zu hause vor den Computer zu setzen und stattdessen lieber nach Berlin in ein Café fahren. Desweiteren ist eine Teststrecke für Merchandise-Artikel geplant. Für Wikipedia-Tassen und flache Teller, die den Elchtest überstehen, soll ggf. ein passender Vertriebskanal eröffnet werden. Ich vermute, darauf hat die Welt gewartet.

Unverschämt wie ich bin, hätte ich nun erwartet, dass die 60.000 € Gewinn im jahr in die Kasse der Community fließen, wenn die drei Existenzgründer erfolgreich sind, aber da die Community ja keine Kasse hat, hat sie eben Pech. Im Prinzip ist gegen eine Existenzgründungsbeihilfe, die noch nicht mal zurückgezahlt werden muss, nichts einzuwenden - immerhin werden hier für die Antragsteller gut bezahlte Arbeitsplätze in der GF geschaffen. Außerdem war der Verein auch nicht an der Umsetzung beteiligt (lediglich bei den Verhandlungen mit der WMF über die Nutzung von Wiki-Devotionalien hat der Vorsitzende von WMD etwas ausgeholfen), von daher sollte man auch nicht erwarten, dass die Gewinne zurück verschenkt werden. Wir sehen, dass Sebmols Erfindung mal wieder gut durchdacht war, und die Prämisse, dass die Projekte nicht vom Verein, sondern vorzugsweise von Einzelpersonen oder Teams organisiert werden sollen, wäre nämlich auch eine der logischen Grundvoraussetzungen, um den Verein nicht an Gewinnen zu beteiligen; ansonsten gäbe es hier später wieder rhetorische Probleme.

Zaireeka

Zaireeka is the eighth studio album by the American rock band the Flaming Lips, released on October 28, 1997, by Warner Bros. Records. The album consists of four CDs designed so that when played simultaneously on four separate audio systems, they would produce a harmonic or juxtaposed sound; the discs could also be played in different combinations, omitting one, two or three discs. Each of its eight songs consists of four stereo tracks, one from each CD. The album's title is a portmanteau of two words: Zaire, chosen as a symbol of anarchy after Wayne Coyne heard a radio news story about the political instability of the African nation (which, at the time, was undergoing the transition from the Mobutu dictatorship to a democratic regime which would result in the country restructuring itself as the Democratic Republic of the Congo), and Eureka (literally: "I have found it"), an expression of joyous discovery.

Zaireeka was the first album by the band after the departure of guitarist Ronald Jones. It acted as a preview of the music and style that would surface on the next album The Soft Bulletin (1999), which was recorded during the same sessions as Zaireeka, and is the predecessor to the band's more conventional surround sound releases.

Background
Adverse circumstances led to the production of Zaireeka. The departure of guitarist Ronald Jones compelled the band to change fundamentally. In addition, the limited success of the previous album, Clouds Taste Metallic, threatened their status at Warner Bros. Records. They eventually found that drummer Steven Drozd could compensate for the loss of Jones by becoming a multi-instrumentalist. However, live shows proved to be more challenging and in order to maintain activity and output, Wayne Coyne conceived an experimental show.

The Parking Lot Experiments
During 1996 and 1997, the Flaming Lips ran a series of events known as "The Parking Lot Experiments". The concept was inspired by an incident in Coyne's youth, where he noticed that car radios in the parking lot at a concert were playing the same songs at the same time, Wayne Coyne created 40 cassette tapes to be played in synchronization. The band invited people to bring their cars to parking lots, where they would be given one of the tapes and then instructed when to start them. The music was "a strange, fluid 20 minute sound composition".

Production
Production of the album was preceded by two unfortunate events, which were recounted in "The Spiderbite Song" from The Soft Bulletin. Michael Ivins was involved in a car crash, and Steven Drozd's hand became severely infected. Drozd initially claimed that his hand had been bitten by a spider, although later he admitted the infected abscess was caused by injection of heroin.

The Flaming Lips began work on Zaireeka in April 1997 in the then-new Tarbox Road Studios. Initially, the band was frustrated while making the album. Even after diverting half of the budget for the next album into Zaireeka, there were no tangible results. The band experienced difficulty writing songs for the album. Finally, Coyne exclaimed, "Look, we don't have to be friends... but we have to make this record!" While this philosophy aided progress, the band only began to complete songs when they learned to write for the medium as opposed to trying to split normal songs across four CDs.

The group wrote several songs that were unsuccessful in the four-CD format. These songs, including "Race for the Prize", were reserved for the next album, which would eventually become The Soft Bulletin.

Release
Warner Bros. Records was initially apprehensive about releasing Zaireeka, so manager Scott Booker carefully researched the costs of releasing a box set. Booker discovered that Zaireeka could be released so that once 12,000 copies had been sold, the label would break even. (Advance orders for the album came to 14,000 copies.) Booker pitched the album to Warner Bros. Records president Steven Baker.

Eventually, the two factions reached an agreement in which the album would be released, although Zaireeka would not count towards the seven albums the band was contracted to deliver to Warner Bros. For an advance of $200,000, the band would make both Zaireeka and The Soft Bulletin. In addition, Booker mentioned that by allowing the media to proclaim how "weird" the band was with Zaireeka, they would be more prepared to treat The Soft Bulletin as a serious album. Zaireeka was released in October, 1997. , 28,000 copies have been sold.

Logistics of listening
The speakers being used may be physically positioned in many different configurations (e.g. at different heights or even in entirely different rooms). Some listeners may even choose to disable the left or right speaker of one or more systems. Synchronization errors between the audio systems may cause effects such as reverb or echo being heard on one disc before the original sound is produced from another. Further, the type and quality of each audio system affect the relationship between the four CDs.

The Boom Box Experiments
After completion of Zaireeka, the Flaming Lips tried an unconventional method to tour the album. "The Boom Box Experiments", like "The Parking Lot Experiments", involved tapes being played at the same time. However, these shows were held in conventional rock venues, and the band supplied their own boom boxes. Coyne and Drozd conducted two "choirs" of people controlling the boom boxes, giving them instructions for actions like turning the volume up or down, while Ivins controlled the mixer.

Songs played in The Boom Box Experiments include:
 * "The Big Ol' Bug Is the New Baby Now"
 * "A Winter's Day Car Accident Melody"
 * "Altruism, or That's the Crotch Calling the Devil Black"
 * "Heralding in a Better Ego"
 * "Realizing the Speed of Life"
 * "Schizophrenic Sunrise, or The Loudest Blade of Grass"
 * "Should We Keep the Severed Head Awake??" (used in both the Parking Lot and Boom Box experiments. Part of it was included on "Sleeping on the Roof" on The Soft Bulletin.)

Aftermath and legacy
With Zaireeka, the Flaming Lips had overcome the loss of Ronald Jones and proved they could still work as a band. The situation at Warner Bros. Records was still dire, including a risk of being dropped from the label. However, songs had already been written for the next album, The Soft Bulletin, which would be both a critical hit for the band and their breakthrough into mainstream success. Following the release of Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots in 2002, the Flaming Lips would return to the concept of surround sound with a DVD-Audio special-edition of that album in 2003.

Zaireeka is viewed by the band as nothing more than an experimental release. "It was, and still is, intended to be listened to by other artists, musicians and producers," Coyne would later state in the liner notes for The Soft Bulletin 5.1, adding that they "never expected the less involved members of our audience to care about it." As noted above, there was no conventional concert tour to promote Zaireeka. However, three of its eight songs have been played live. “Riding to Work in the Year 2025 (Your Invisible Now)” and "Thirty-Five Thousand Feet Of Despair" were played on the tour supporting The Soft Bulletin and also on the Lips’ 2007 and 2013 tours, the latter not being part of the later tours and “How Will We Know? (Futuristic Crashendos)” was played albeit less often during 2000 and 2002.

Songs
Zaireeka opens with "Okay I'll Admit That I Really Don't Understand", a mantra of sorts about the admitted lack of comprehension regarding one's situation. The second track, "Riding to Work in the Year 2025 (Your Invisible Now)" [sic] tells a science-fiction story about a man who pretends to be a secret agent in the future and imagines his own psychological demise from the stress "of being the most important secret agent in the world". "Thirty-Five Thousand Feet of Despair", the third song, is the tragic story of an airplane pilot who (somehow) hangs himself mid-flight. The next song, "A Machine in India", is about the "dull and depressing, mild insanity" that the speaker's partner slips into during her menstrual cycle. Next, "The Train Runs over the Camel but Is Derailed by the Gnat", is a speech by a man who is on the verge of discovery, but ends up "talking himself into circles". Track six, "How Will We Know? (Futuristic Crashendos)", is based on an urban legend that being exposed to high and low frequencies can cause a person to experience premonitions, and thus contains its infamously extensive frequencies that caused the band to place a warning on the album cover and inside the booklet. The seventh song, "March of the Rotten Vegetables", is "music for a cartoon about a group of demented vegetables". The eighth and final song, "The Big Ol' Bug Is the New Baby Now", contains a spoken-word story about Coyne's dogs; the track ends the album with loud barking from each disc. On the 10th anniversary of Zaireeka, Wayne Coyne made and distributed an additional 5th disc to go along with the set.

Critical reception
Critical reaction to Zaireeka was polarized. Josh Kun of Rolling Stone wrote that the album's "wall-of-surround-sound approach melds droning-rock dissonance with warped, off-kilter pop melodies, producing a totally immersing post-Pet Sounds audio séance." Jason Ankeny of AllMusic stated that the album would only really be accessible to hardcore Flaming Lips fans, but that "they're in for the musical experience of a lifetime".

Critics who disliked the album cited what they viewed as a ridiculous concept. Salon remarked in its review that "Musically [...] their 1995 album Clouds Taste Metallic offers the same psychotic results without all the technological hassle. And conceptually? The same thing, just all at once: stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid." Jason Josephes from Pitchfork awarded the album a score of 0.0 out of 10; in a scathing review, Josephes criticized the album for being inaccessible, asking "Do I want to buy three more CD players with which to enjoy Zaireeka or, say, eat?" and derided the band's fans. Nonetheless, in June 2002, editor-in-chief of Pitchfork, Mark Richardson published a response to Josephes' review (which has since been deleted), lauding the album and referring to it as "one of the greatest albums ever recorded". Richardson writes:

"While I understand the desire to own these songs in a format that makes repeat playability easy, that's not what this album is about to me. Zaireeka is not just the album the Flaming Lips released between Clouds Taste Metallic and The Soft Bulletin; it's a challenge to the assumptions behind the idea of recorded music."

In October 2009, Richardson went on to write a book titled Zaireeka for the 33 1/3 book series, published by Continuum International Publishing, now owned by Bloomsbury Publishing. In it, Richardson chronicles the creation of the album, praises it from multiple angles, and discusses the impact the album has had on music since its release. The album was included in Pitchfork's 2010 list of "ten unusual CD-era gimmicks".

Other formats
Wayne Coyne had initially confirmed that Zaireeka would eventually be released on DVD format in the vein of the surround-sound special editions of Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, The Soft Bulletin, and At War with the Mystics, but it is unlikely to happen due to the deliberately out-of-sync nature of the original multitrack recordings.

In the UK, the "Race for the Prize" and "Waitin' for a Superman" CD singles were released in 2-disc sets. Each disc of the two sets contained a different version of "Riding to Work in the Year 2025 (Your Invisible Now)" and "Thirty-Five Thousand Feet of Despair". This marked the first time material from the album would be released in the four-disc format in Europe. The "Waitin' for a Superman" Maxi-CD, as released in the US, contains stereo mixes of the two songs.

The album was reissued on vinyl for Record Store Day 2013.

Das ist auch nicht eine Frage meines Glaubens, sondern evident-augenscheinlich. Die Seite, auf der Schlesinger missbräuchlich gelöscht hat, wird ebenfalls durch Filter vor Änderungen durch neue Benutzer "geschützt". Genauso wie die Diskussionsseite des Benutzers Brummfuss.

Es gibt Benutzer, die mit guten Gründen unter Doppelaccount dort arbeiten, um sich nicht unsachlicher Kritik aussetzen lassen zu müssen, für die m.E. der Benutzer Seewolf in erster Linie steht, der auf dieser Seite ebenfalls gelöscht hat. Und zwar unfair, unsachlich, Macht demonstrierend und Kritik zensierend. Du lieferst diesem Seewolf technische Mittel (Escapezeichen, nomen est omen :), um diesen am technisch längeren Hebel (jedoch nur innerhalb der Wikipedia) sitzen zu lassen, ein archimedischer Hebel der inhaltlich-enzyklopädisch durch nichts gerechtfertigt ist. Von Verschwörungstheorie halte ich auch nicht viel, genausowenig wie von Leuten, welche die Wikipedia in ein Kaffeekränzchen-Machtspiel verwandeln und Kritik daran mit unfairen Methoden (Filter, Löschungen, Sperren) verhindern. Du läßt Dein Wissen von diesen Leuten missbrauchen. Ich werde alles tun, den Nice-Wert dieser Arbeitsprozesse zu erhöhen. Wo Du vielleicht recht haben könnteste, wäre die Vermutung, dass das Hauptproblem nicht technische Methoden sind, sondern die groteske Inkompetenz jener Leute, die glauben, man könne Enzyklopädie mit Methoden der Zensur und Meinungsunterdrückung bewerkstelligen. Mein Ratschlag: halte Dich an die Benutzer Amberg oder Cherubino, die - zwar nicht meiner Meinung - als kompetente Admins, sich von den Meinungs-Gewalttätern abheben. AufschliessenderZug 11:12, 7.

Bleaklow

Bleaklow is a high, largely peat-covered, gritstone moorland in the Derbyshire High Peak near the town of Glossop. It is north of Kinder Scout, across the Snake Pass (A57), and south of the A628 Woodhead Pass. Much of it is nearly 2,000 ft above sea level and the shallow bowl of Swains Greave on its eastern side is the source of the River Derwent.

Bleaklow Head (633 m), marked by a huge cairn of stones, the high point at the western side of the moor, is a Hewitt and is crossed by the Pennine Way. It is one of three summits on this plateau above 2,000 feet, the others being Bleaklow Stones, some 1.9 mi to the east along an indefinite ridge, and Higher Shelf Stones, 0.9 mi south of Bleaklow Head. At 633 m, Bleaklow is the second-highest point in Derbyshire and the area includes the most easterly point in the British Isles over 2,000 feet, near Bleaklow Stones.

Description
Much of the main plateau of Bleaklow is a boggy peat moorland, seamed by 'groughs' (pronounced 'gruffs', water-eroded channels in the peat) and lacking strong changes in elevation – in poor conditions its traverse is probably the most navigationally challenging in the Peak District.

Conservation
Bleaklow is part of the National Trust's High Peak Estate. There has been considerable investment of resources in recent years to block many of the eroded peat gulleys as part of major schemes to re-wet and restore healthy Sphagnum moss communities which are essential for peat formation, carbon capture, and reduction in dissolved carbon which contaminates water supplies. Much of this work has been coordinated by the Moors for the Future Partnership, funded by EU LIFE+ programme between 2010 and 2015. This involved laying 52 km of geotextiles to stabilise eroded peat, creating 4,000 mini-dams to retain water, introducing 150,000 moorland plants and spreading 807 million Sphagnum fragments across the whole Bleaklow Project site.

Views
The summit affords views across Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire to the west and towards the Hope Valley, Holme Moss, Emley Moor and Yorkshire to the east. In exceptional weather conditions it is possible to see Snowdonia in North Wales.

Aircraft crash
There are a number of aircraft crash sites on Bleaklow. On 3 November 1948, USAF Boeing RB-29A Superfortress 44–61999, of the 16th Photographic Reconnaissance Squadron, 91st Reconnaissance Group, 311th Air Division, Strategic Air Command, crashed at Higher Shelf Stones, Bleaklow (53.45059°N, -1.86501°W), en route from Scampton to Burtonwood. All 13 crew members were killed. A large amount of wreckage of the Bleaklow Bomber is still visible. A memorial was erected at the site in 1988. There is public access to the area.

Castiglione delle Stiviere

Castiglione delle Stiviere (Upper Mantovano: Castiù) is a town and comune in the province of Mantua, in Lombardy, Italy, 30 km northwest of Mantua by road.

History
The town's castle was home to a cadet branch of the House of Gonzaga, headed by the Marquis of Castiglione. Saint Aloysius Gonzaga (1568–1591) was born there as heir to the marquisate, but became a Jesuit. He died tending plague victims in Rome and was buried there, but his head was later translated to the basilica in Castiglione which bears his name.

During the War of the Spanish Succession, the French under the duc de Vendôme occupied the town. In 1706, in the first Battle of Castiglione a French army under Jacques Eléonor Rouxel de Grancey defeated here a Hessian army led by Frederick I, Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel.

During the siege of Mantua in 1796, the Austrians under Dagobert Sigmund von Wurmser were defeated here in the second Battle of Castiglione by the revolutionary French army under General Augereau, later Marshal of France, who in 1808 was created Duke of Castiglione by Emperor Napoleon I, a hereditary victory title (so there never was an actual territorial duchy attached to it) extinguished in 1915.

Castiglione received the honorary title of city by presidential decree on 18 October 2001.

Main sights
It has an old castle, much altered and restored, especially by the Gonzaga family of Mantua in the 16th century.

The Fountain of Domenica Calubina is a small hexagonal fountain in the piazza Dallò in the center of the town.

Castiglione is the birthplace of the International Red Cross, which was established by Henri Dunant during the aftermath of the Battle of Solferino in 1859. There is a museum in the center of the town dedicated to the IRC.

International relations
Castiglione delle Stiviere is twinned with:
 * 🇫🇷 Barentin, France
 * 🇩🇪 Leutkirch im Allgäu, Germany, since 1995
 * 🇮🇹 Monteprandone, Italy

Benchmade

The Benchmade Knife Company is an American knife manufacturer in Oregon City, Oregon.

History
Benchmade originally started in California in 1979 as Bali-Song, then changed their name to Pacific Cutlery Corporation in the early 1980s, before settling on "Benchmade" in 1988. In 1990 the company moved to Clackamas, Oregon. In 1996, the company moved to a 144,000 square foot facility in Oregon City, Oregon. Benchmade became known primarily as a manufacturer of butterfly knives, or balisongs, and they continue to be manufactured under their registered trademark name "Ba“i-Song". ”Benchmade's original Bali-Song design by Jody Samson was awarded Blade Magazine's Knife of the Year Award in 1979.

Founder Les deAsis died February 21, 2020, following a stroke. Roberta deAsis held the position of President and CEO following his death and was succeeded by her son, Jon, in October 2020.

Headquarters location
In 1996, Benchmade moved to Oregon City. Apart from some Red Class products, which were produced in their "off shore facilities", ”Benchmade has produced more than 90% of its knives in Oregon City, and has succeeded in bringing others back to home production. Since 2010, all Red Class production knives have been discontinued, and as such, every Benchmade labeled knife is made in the United States.

Products
Blade steels such as 154CM, D2, CPM S30V steel, CPM S90V steel, CPM 20CV, N690 and M390 are used on many models. Benchmade also uses high speed M2 and CPM M4 tool steels.

Benchmade receives a significant amount of revenue from selling restricted-sales knives to the military and law enforcement. They produce a diverse selection of "auto", or switchblade knives, along with a range of hunting, fishing, utility and miscellaneous knives, though balisongs remain a core product. In recent years most balisongs have been discontinued, with the only remaining Balisong in production being the 85.

Benchmade has three different knife classes. The first class is the Blue Class, also known as the Recreation class. This type of Benchmade knife is made for typical use by the everyday person. The next class is the Black Class, also known as the Professional class. This type of Benchmade knife is made for military, law enforcement, and public safety workers. The last class is the Gold class, also known as the Collector class. This class of Benchmade knife is made for collectors and are limited edition.

Benchmade has a patent on the locking mechanism used in most of the switchblades they produce. Benchmade additionally holds an exclusive license on use of the McHenry / Williams "AXIS Lock", a spring-operated locking mechanism used in both automatic and manual action models.

The designers are Jody Samson, Ernest Emerson, Allen Elishewitz, Mel Pardue, Bill McHenry, Mike Snody, Jason Williams, Warren Osborne, Ken Steigerwalt, and Bob Lum. Several production Benchmade models based on the work of these designers have become influential within the industry.

Some of the Benchmade knife models include:
 * Benchmade Griptilian
 * Benchmade Freek
 * Benchmade Crooked River
 * Benchmade Bushcrafter
 * Benchmade Infidel
 * Benchmade SOCP
 * Benchmade 556 Mini Griptilian
 * Benchmade Contego (Discontinued)
 * Benchmade 940 Osborne

Slaviša Žungul

Slaviša Žungul (born 28 July 1954), also known as Steve Zungul, is a retired Yugoslav American soccer striker.

Žungul began his career with Hajduk in his native Yugoslavia before controversially moving to the United States where he became a dominant indoor soccer striker. His indoor career began with the New York Arrows of Major Indoor Soccer League and ended with the San Diego Sockers. His amazing scoring ability earned him the nickname "Lord of All Indoors". He also spent two seasons playing outdoor soccer with the Golden Bay Earthquakes of the North American Soccer League. In 1984, he was the NASL MVP. He also earned fourteen caps with the Yugoslavia national football team between 1972 and 1976.

Early life
Žungul was born Slaviša Ivanović in Požarevac, but his biological father died when he was still an infant. His mother Danica quickly remarried and moved to Kaštel Lukšić near Split, PR Croatia where baby Slaviša was given his stepfather's last name.

Hajduk Split
When he was sixteen, Žungul began his football career in Split, playing for Hajduk starting in 1972 and continuing until 1978. He led the team in scoring every season and finished his time at Hajduk with 176 goals. During his six years with the team, he led them to three Yugoslav First League titles, in 1974 and 1975 as well as four Yugoslav Cup trophies.

At Hajduk he quickly established himself as the focal point of head coach Tomislav Ivić's setup as well as becoming a fan favourite for his off-the-cuff ways and jet-set lifestyle, often seen in bars around the city while dating models, pinups, singers, and pageant contestants. His scoring prowess at Hajduk drew comparisons to Gerd Müller in the Yugoslav press.

By the time he turned 24, Žungul's prominence was such that he began receiving lucrative offers from NASL clubs in the United States. However, Yugoslav sporting regulations at the time stipulated that players could not transfer abroad until completing their mandatory Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) stint and turning 28 years of age. In certain cases exemptions were granted so that a player's transfer would be allowed in the calendar year during which he'll be turning 28 or even a year early, but the completion of the army stint was absolutely mandatory. While twenty-four-year-old Žungul was years away from even considering a move abroad, he was on increasingly bad terms with Hajduk management—led by club president Tito Kirigin—over unpaid wages. The star player became concerned the club would arrange for him to be sent off to his army service just to further delay the payments they owed him.

On 3 December 1978, Žungul played in Hajduk's last league match before the 1978-79 mid-season winter break—a 5–0 home thrashing of FK Sarajevo at the Stari plac Stadium—scoring twice thus increasing his half-season scoring tally to 12 goals. He then asked the club management to allow him to travel to New York City for a few weeks in order to accompany his singer girlfriend Moni Kovačič (famous for appearing in Start (Yugoslav magazine), the Yugoslav counterpart to Playboy) while further disclosing to them that while in the U.S. he would also be taking part in a few exhibition indoor soccer matches in order to stay in competitive shape for the season restart. Not suspecting anything amiss, Hajduk granted permission.

In actuality, through countryman Dragan Popović, Žungul (represented by sports agent Ante "Bekin" Kuzmić) had already agreed a contract with the newly established, Popović-coached New York Arrows of the also recently launched Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL). Žungul's idea was to defect from Yugoslavia and play a few years of indoor soccer in the MISL, then switch over to "real soccer" in the NASL once the dust settled.

Within weeks, in late December 1978, his defection and deception became known back home, creating one of the biggest scandals in Yugoslav sporting history. Hajduk management was furious, starting a smear campaign against the player in Yugoslav media, branding him a traitor, a deserter, and a drunk. They also got the Yugoslav FA (FSJ) to enlist its FIFA connections and request a ban on Žungul taking part in any FIFA-affiliated competitions. FSJ did so and FIFA granted the ban, effectively blackballing him from the NASL. This left the MISL, which was not affiliated with FIFA, as his only option.

Indoor soccer: New York Arrows
Settling for an indoor football career, Žungul—now known as Steve Zungul—tried to make the best of the new situation. After playing European Cup football with Hajduk as well competing at the European Championship with Yugoslavia, the 24-year-old suddenly found himself in a whole new sport resembling human pinball with ice hockey-style dasher boards around the field, buzzers, flashing lights, disco music, galloping players and the ball rebounding haphazardly off the walls and around the turf. Though financially well compensated for his services, the move to indoor in professional terms meant being reduced to playing with and against players whose skills and abilities were far inferior to his.

Making his debut in the Arrows' opening game of the season in Nassau Coliseum he immediately established his scoring credentials, recording four goals. He would soon start scoring goals like a man possessed. He finished the campaign close second to Fred Grgurev in the 1978–79 season scoring race as the Arrows won the title. In his second season, Zungul led the MISL in goals scored in 1979–80, guiding his team to the second straight league title and winning the league MVP honours.

In the 1980–81 season, Zungul achieved an amazing feat, scoring 108 goals in 40 games. In comparison, the second leading scorer Vic Davidson of the Phoenix Inferno scored only 50 goals. Zungul was well on his way to earning his eventual moniker "Lord of All Indoors", first given to him by Sports Illustrated writer JD Reed. The Arrows won the title again (their third straight), while Zungul won MVP for the second consecutive season.

Zungul picked up another 103 goals the next season, 1981–82, leading the team to yet another league title while co-sharing the league MVP honour with Polish forward Stan Terlecki. All the while, Zungul pursued every legal avenue available in order to be allowed to play outdoor soccer. He took his case to the Supreme Court of the United States and finally managed to procure a licence to play on the big pitch.

For the 1982–83 season, he began the campaign with the Arrows but the team was in decline as well as his scoring rate that took a bit of dip compared to previous season. Now 28-years-of-age, in January 1983 he asked for an increase of his $150,000 annual paycheck, knowing that the financially strapped management couldn't afford. The Arrows responded by trading Steve Zungul to the Golden Bay Earthquakes of the North American Soccer League (NASL), who were playing the 1982–83 MISL season as a guest team, for Gary Etherington and Gordon Hill. While billed as a move to "Americanize" the Arrows, it was largely a cost saving device. While Zungul still led the league in scoring, he bagged only 75 goals.

Now the FIFA ban became the issue once again, and FSJ chimed in, asking for the ban to be upheld. It wasn't, due to the Earthquakes refusing to honour it by referencing the US Supreme Court decision, meaning the player would get his chance in the outdoor game again following a four-year absence.

Return to outdoor: Golden Bay Earthquakes
Zungul went on to become a first team NASL All Star in both 1983 and 1984.

In 1984, he capped his outdoor career by being named the NASL MVP. That year, Zungul registered 20 goals and 10 assists in 24 games, but could not keep the Earthquakes out of the bottom of the Western Conference.

Meanwhile, without Zungul's scoring touch the Arrows collapsed and folded at the end of the 1983–84 season.

Back to indoor: San Diego Sockers and Tacoma Stars
When the NASL itself collapsed at the end of the 1984 season, Zungul moved to the San Diego Sockers (MISL). He led the league again in scoring in 1985 and 1986, this time playing for the San Diego Sockers. On 5 February 1986, the Sockers sold Zungul to the Tacoma Stars where he played from 1986 to 1988. In 1988, he returned to the Sockers where he ended his career in 1990. It was not until 1987 that his run as top scorer finally came to a close, as another indoor luminary, the Dallas Sidekicks' Tatu, took Zungul's place at the top of the scoring charts. Zungul was also named the league's MVP from 1979 to 1982, and then again in 1985 and 1986. At one time, he was the all-time goal scoring leader in indoor soccer with 715 goals. That currently ranks fourth behind Hector Marinaro, Zoran Karić, and Tatu.

International career
Žungul made his debut for Yugoslavia in a September 1974 friendly match against Italy, coming on as a 46th-minute substitute for Danilo Popivoda, and earned a total of 14 caps, scoring no goals. He played in Euro 1976 but never played in the World Cup because he did not serve the mandatory stint in the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA). His final international was an October 1978 European CHampionship qualification match away against Romania.

Post-playing
Simultaneous to playing soccer in America, Žungul invested his earnings in various business ventures including real-estate. He has at one time owned properties in Wellington, Florida.

Žungul reportedly resides in San Pasqual Valley near Escondido, California with his wife Lorenza and their two children Sashka and Marco.

In 2023, he was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame.

Castiglione Olona

Castiglione Olona is a town and comune in the province of Varese, in Lombardy. As of 31 December 2015, it has a population of 7,753 inhabitants.

History
The town of Castiglione Olona rose around the fifth century CE under the Roman Empire domain. Consequently, the Lombards entered and took possession of the village until the Castiglioni family became sole proprietor of the land around 1000 AC. The family engaged in many battles for the rule of the lands so they had walls built all around the village to protect themselves from enemies. Today only a small part of the walls near the fortress is visitable. In 1422, cardinal Branda da Castiglione obtained the permission from Pope Martin V to build the church of Collegiata (Santi Stefano e Lorenzo); the church contains frescoes attributed to Masolino.

In the town, the 15th and 16th century palace of cardinal Branda now serves as a museum, still contains a chapel and a number of frescoed walls, some attributed to Sienese painter Vecchietta.

Twin towns — sister cities
Castiglione Olona is twinned with:

 * 🇫🇷 Étupes, France

Sport

 * The Varesina stadium complex and Stadio Comunale di Venegono is home to Varesina Sport CV SSD football team.

 * The Moto Club Castiglione Olona organised motorcycle speedway and the track on Via Asiago. It hosted important events, including qualifying rounds of the Speedway World Team Cup in 1976 and 1980 and a qualifying round of the Speedway World Championship in 1978.

The site of the former track is the Varesina Sports Center, which today has two synthetic football pitches and a smaller covered indoor pitch.

She played Roxy Harvey on Dead Like Me and as Sheila "Grams" Bennett on The Vampire Diaries. She also played the role of Gemma on Grey's Anatomy.

Early life
Born in Boston, Massachusetts, to Jaye (née Resendes) and William Vincent Guy, she was raised in the affluent historic Collier Heights neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia, where she attended Northside Performing Arts High School. Her mother, a Portuguese American, was a former high-school teacher, and her father, who was African-American, was pastor of the historic Friendship Baptist Church of Atlanta, which served as an early home to Spelman College; he was also a college instructor in philosophy and religion. At the age of 17, she moved to New York City to study dance at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Center.

Television roles
Guy began her television career with a non-speaking role, as a dancer, in seven episodes of the 1982 television series Fame under the direction of choreographer Debbie Allen.

Guy today remains best known for her starring role as Whitley Gilbert in the television sitcom A Different World. A spin-off of The Cosby Show and created by Bill Cosby himself, the show aired from 1987 to 1993 on NBC. Guy wrote three episodes of the show and directed one, in addition to appearing in every episode: she started as a co-star, but ended up replacing the show's original star Lisa Bonet, who left the series. Guy was nominated for and won six consecutive NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.

In addition to her defining role on A Different World, she appeared in a 1991 episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air as Kayla, one of Will Smith's girlfriends.

In 2003, Guy played Mary Estes Peters in the HBO documentary, Unchained Memories: Readings from the Slave Narrative, a documentary which premiered during Black History Month. The slave narratives were based on the WPA slave interviews conducted during the 1930s with over 2,000 former slaves.

Guy starred alongside Ellen Muth and Mandy Patinkin in the series Dead Like Me, created by Bryan Fuller. The show ran 29 episodes over two seasons, in 2003 and 2004, on Showtime.

She later starred in the feature-length series sequel Dead Like Me: Life After Death, which was released on video in 2009 before being shown on the Syfy channel. In 2009, Guy performed in The People Speak, a documentary that used dramatic and musical performances of the letters, diaries, and speeches of everyday Americans, based on historian Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States. A broad look at civil rights issues in America, The People Speak was executive produced by and seen on The History Channel. In 2010, she was seen in the second season of the Lifetime comedy series Drop Dead Diva as a judge in the episode titled "Last Year's Model," and from 2009 to 2017, Guy had a recurring role in The CW's series The Vampire Diaries.
