Talk:Time Out of Mind (Bob Dylan album)

Date and capitalization
The 1997 thing needs to be fixed - BobJoHankins

Someone went through and removed the capitalizations of the word "out" in Time Out of Mind. I'm pretty sure that's incorrect. Check every PROFESSIONAL review and article of this album on the web and in print, they capitalize "out" so that it reads Time Out of Mind. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.105.110.246 (talk • contribs) 23:40, 28 August 2006.

 * Naming conventions (capitalization) states "In general, titles of books, films, and other works are also capitalized, except for articles (a, and, the) and prepositions and conjunctions shorter than five letters (e.g., to, from, and)." Extraordinary Machine 16:04, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, sure, it's all fine and dandy to go according to conventions but I think making sure everything is factually correct is more important than following some made up conventions. Also, note the words, "in general".--Lairor 03:59, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * What's more "out" is neither an article, preposition or conjunction, it's an adverb. I'm going to change things back.--Lairor 04:07, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Depending on the context, the word "out" can be several things; in this context, it's a preposition.
 * With regard to choices of typography, in most cases there's no such thing as "factually correct". It's likely that Dylan's record label's manual of style suggests capitalisation of prepositions in titles, in which case that's "correct" for them; ours doesn't, which is thus "correct" for us. The one thing we know for certain is what standard Wikipedia style (and what is stipulated in most major manuals of style) is, which is why it's best and safest to use it. Extraordinary Machine
 * Actually if Dylan's record label stipulates that "out" should be capitalized then that's the official name and we shouldn't put forward wrong information just in the effort of standardization. But I'm not going to change it because I know you'll just change it back whatever the rationale because I've seen you're really passionate about upholding this particular naming convention regardless of whether the rest of the world actually recognizes it.--Lairor 04:58, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Title?
I always thought the title came from Warren Zevon's song "Accidentally Like a Martyr". Isn't Dylan a big fan of Zevon? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mcmillancaleb (talk • contribs) 21:45, 13 January 2007 (UTC).

I thought that as well. I saw Dylan at the Pepsi Center in 2003 (when Zevon was terminally ill) and he played "Accidentally Like a Martyr," which lends credence to that theory, but I don't know thatit can be proved. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.207.44.213 (talk) 19:55, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Title again
I've found a few different albums by the name of Time Out of Mind on allmusic.com. The phrase is common enough to have the title listed with (Dylan album) appended.

The second issue is Wikipedia is an encyclopedia people go to look for information. I understand the naming convention for albums per Wikipedia policy. However, shouldn't you go by what the album is actually entitled, and not enforce some artificial policy by Wikipedia about some absurd notions of "prepositions" and other parts of speech?

The album title is not Time out of Mind. All professional reviews, all promotional material from Columbia Records, and Bob Dylan's website has the album title as Time Out of Mind. Given that fact, and since the goal of Wikipedia is to be a reliable encyclopedia, shouldn't the naming convention be revised accordingly? After all, it's not Wikipedia who determines the album name, it's the artist and the record company. They're pretty clear cut on what the real name is, despite Wikipedia's naming convention! --berenlazarus

 * We should not disambiguate when not needed per WP:ALBUM, so until those other albums with this title are actually added to Wikipedia, this article should not be disambiguated as "(Dylan album)", and when they are it should be "(Bob Dylan album)". As for the capitalization, the guideline is to normalize capitalization, just like how we normalize for example trampin to Trampin. We don't normalize the spelling of titles, just their capitalization. If someone enters the title with the alternate capitalization, a redirect should take them to the article they were looking for. Feel free to argue that those conventions should be changed, preferably at WT:NC and WT:ALBUM respectively. In the mean time we should follow our conventions, so I'm moving the article back. --PEJL 12:23, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Time out of Mind just looks wrong to me. "Out" is surely an important word in the title? --kingboyk 17:25, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, it looks wrong to me to, but noone has questioned the claim (above) that "out" is a preposition in this case. --PEJL 17:53, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Citation
Where in that world does that interesting extended quotation about "Mississippi" in The Outtakes section come from?

Recording
The info box says the album was recorded in January and February of 1997. Can somebody provide a source that says there were sessions in February?--Dawson1066 12:28, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

—Preceding unsigned comment added by Ore4444 (talk • contribs) 21:18, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Capital "O"!
Time Out of Mind. Or is it Time Out Of Mind? But the "O" in Out is definitely capitalised. Sort it out!! Adufig2000 (talk) 18:01, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Seems like the Dylan fan types who can't get enough of Love and Theft, Modern Times, and so on and bitch about Lanois and the sound on Time Out of Mind have skewed this article. Probably every single critique of the production is mentioned. Do you clowns listen to anything other than Adult Contemporary masquerading as "roots" Rock? "Dirt Road Blues" sounds great, but you found the one dolt who didn't like its great low-fi sound. They purposely recorded it that way, idiots! Go listen to Kenny G and leave Rock alone!

Do you not remember how universally acclaimed this album was? Where's those citations? How about the issue of Mojo in late 97 with Dylan on the cover with fellow artists' testimonials?

Comments
Hello there Sayantan m - here are some thoughts on the article, as requested.

 * Lead:
 * I would beef up the three paragraphs; maybe add some chart or sales info.
 * I don't think a link is needed to comeback. A short wikipedia article exists if you must link.
 * I went ahead and changed this: Despite being generally complimentary to Lanois, especially his work on the 1989 album Oh Mercy, Dylan has voiced dissatisfaction with the sound on Time Out of Mind. --> Although Dylan has spoken positively of Lanois' production style (especially for his 1989 album Oh Mercy), he expressed dissatisfaction with the sound of Time Out of Mind. Dylan has self-produced his subsequent albums. It tightens the sentence and flows better.

 * Background and writing
 * Try to combine the choppy paragraphs and standalone sentences into two or three paragraphs.

 * Recording sessions
 * Again, try combining smaller paragraphs into larger ones.
 * Add more sources. The only source for paragraph 2, for example, is for the quote.
 * Looking at the aforementioned quote, it is sourced to a forum, where the user who posted it "can't remember where [he] got it from". This is a bad source, and should be removed.
 * The blockquote from the end of the section ("Those records...") is a little long. Consider shortening it by a few sentences. I would also cite the physical Guitar World article (no url required) and not a website with a copy of it.

 * The songs
 * I think the song summaries require fleshing out to justify individual paragraphs. If this isn't possible, I would combine them into paragraphs discussing themes, lyrics, musical styles, etc.

 * Outtakes
 * Does it say anywhere in the sources that "Mississippi" was the first song not to make it onto the album, and "Dreamin' of You" second?
 * Remove the bold from the song names

 * Reception
 * Fill "Commercial reception" out with some chart information and sales numbers.

 * General comments
 * I don't think the photos are really required. The first one, for example, shows Dylan performing "Cold Irons Bound" in Masked and Anonymous. There is no mention of this performance in the main text, so the photo has very little relevance. There should be as little fair use material in an article as possible; only what is very essential (such as the album cover) should be used.
 * The other photo isn't very useful either, I hate to say. It doesn't show the famous "Soy Bomb" incident, just Dylan's face. There might be something of a case for including a photo of Dylan and "Soy Bomb", as this would illustrate the neighboring section.
 * The sound samples are O.K. - four is a little much (three would be better), and it would be good to add more info to the captions.
 * I notice that online copies and reprints of newspaper and print articles are often cited throughout the article - as some of the websites that reprint these often do not ask for permission, it would be wise simply to cite the physical articles themselves, as I mentioned in the "Recording sessions" section.
 * Overall, very good job. I can see all the work you've put into it, and I wish you luck at GAC and maybe even FAC later on down the road. Don't forget to file a peer review at WP:PR; these can be very helpful. - I.M.S. (talk) 19:36, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Some quick comments from me as well, as requested:
 * As a Dylan fan, I found it an interesting read, but as an encyclopedia article, I found it a little too "loose". I would try to tighten it to make it more concise for the general user who is not necessarily a Dylan fan. One thing I thought was that are too many quotes. Try to ask yourself which of these are really essential, and maybe cut or paraphrase the less essential ones. For example, in the Recording section, a lot of these quotes could be rephrased ant the whole section could be shorter.
 * You need to make the reference formatting more consistent, beginning with the author, etc. Your ref #37 by Weber, Bruce, looks good. Ref #26 and several others should have the name out in front, not in the link.Try to make the rest all like that. Your ref #42 is not a proper link to anywhere, and you have used it (austriancharts.com) as a ref for a whole bunch of countries' charts—if they really all appear at that site, why is it called austriancharts.com? Is ref 38 (new-pony.com) definitely a reliable source that has gotten permission to reprint the Dylan interview?
 * I agree with I.M.S. that all the photos may not be required or really add anything to the article. I'd consider cutting them.
 * Some parts of the article lack references, for example some of what you say in "The songs" section. I also agree with I.M.S. that the some of the songs need to be fleshed out to justify individual paragraphs.

I hope this helps! Good luck. Moisejp (talk) 23:48, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

Samples
Isn't it excessive to put four song samples in the same article. At most, in one article, I have seen two to three, and never consolidated (yes, I know there are exceptions). They were spread throughout the article, instead of grouped all together under one section. And all of them had detailed descriptions explaining why they should be included in the first place. I say, can "Make You Feel My Love", maybe "Cold Irons Bound" as well, and spread the others around the article, with good descriptions underneath. BootleggerWill (talk) 02:27, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Andrei Shkuro

Andrei Grigoriyevich Shkuro (Андрей Григорьевич Шкуро, ; 19 January [ O.S. 7 January] 1887 – 17 January 1947) was a Russian military officer of Cossack origin, lieutenant general (1919) of the White Army.

Early life
He was born in the stanitsa of Pashkovskaya (Пашковская, now part of Krasnodar) in Kuban Oblast into a Cossack family. Shkuro graduated from Cossack Sotnya of the Nikolaevsky Cavalry School in 1907 and served in the Kuban Cossack Host.

In World War I Shkuro became the commander of a special partisan unit which executed several daring raids behind German lines. During the war, Shkuro was promoted to the rank of colonel for his heroic performance.

Russian Civil War
In the spring of 1918, after the establishment of the Bolshevik régime, Shkuro organized an anti-Bolshevik Cossack unit in the area of Batalpashinsk in the Caucasus. In May and June 1918 he raided Stavropol, Yessentuki and Kislovodsk. After officially joining Denikin's Volunteer Army, he became the commander of the Kuban Cossacks brigade which soon increased in size and became a division. In May 1919 Shkuro, as a young lieutenant-general, had a whole cavalry corps of Cossacks under his command.

Shkuro, though charismatic and audacious, showed bravery which often bordered on the reckless; he received several wounds, and also acquired a reputation for his cunning. Many in the White Army's high command, however, considered him undisciplined and somewhat of a "loose cannon".

According to Soviet historians his forces (including his chief of staff Yakov Slashchov) were particularly cruel and prone to looting. In contrast, in his memoirs (which Shkuro dictated in 1921) he describes many instances in which he spared the lives of enemies, including even Bolshevik commissars (whom the Whites usually summarily executed). Shkuro claimed that he saved from execution a Red Army battalion of Jewish volunteers taken prisoner by the Whites, and that he spoke out against and prevented pogroms against the Jewish population. When Denikin's volunteer army took Kiev in August 1919, however, it inflicted a large-scale pogrom on the Jews. Over 20,000 people died in two days of violence. After these events, Supresskin, the representative of the Kharkov Jewish community, spoke to Shkuro, who stated to him bluntly that "Jews will not receive any mercy because they are all Bolsheviks".

Although the White Army general Pyotr Wrangel valued initiative he also demanded discipline from his subordinates. Wrangel ended up disliking Shkuro, and upon reorganizing the army Wrangel did not give him a command position; this prompted Shkuro's resignation. Shkuro claimed that to the detriment of the anti-Bolshevik cause, both Denikin and Wrangel did not sufficiently understand Cossack society, and that as a result some of their decisions alienated the Cossacks — even though the White Cossacks remained deeply hostile to the policies of the Bolsheviks.

In exile
After the defeat of the Whites, Shkuro lived as an exile, primarily in France and Serbia. For the first few years he and a few other Cossack partners, displaying their great horsemanship, performed in circuses as trick riders across Europe. In addition, he continued to conduct anti-Soviet activities. Russian émigré memoirs depict Shkuro as a very lively man who enjoyed social gatherings with plenty of dancing, singing, drinking, and vivid storytelling about times past.

Second World War
In 1941, Shkuro agreed to be one of the organizers of anti-Soviet Cossack units consisting of White émigrés and Soviet (mostly Cossack) prisoners of war in alliance with Nazi Germany. He, along with many other exiles, hoped that this would lead to the eventual destruction of the Soviet Union. In 1944, Shkuro was placed in command of the "Cossack Reserve", which were primarily deployed in Yugoslavia against Josip Broz Tito's partisans. In 1945, Shkuro was detained by the British forces in Austria and handed over to the Soviet authorities in Operation Keelhaul. The Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of the Soviet Union sentenced Andrei Shkuro to death. On 17 January 1947, he was executed, together with Pyotr Krasnov, by hanging.

Long Duk Dong

Long Duk Dong is a fictional character who appears in Sixteen Candles, a 1984 American coming-of-age comedy film written and directed by John Hughes. Played by Japanese American actor Gedde Watanabe, the character is a Chinese foreign exchange student and a supporting character in the film set at a US suburban high school. The character has been called an offensive stereotype of Asian people.

Fictional appearance
In Sixteen Candles (1984), Long Duk Dong (played by Gedde Watanabe) is a Chinese foreign exchange student who stays with the grandparents of the film's protagonist Samantha (played by Molly Ringwald). He appears accompanied by a gong sound. He practices his conversational English with others, has his hair parted down the middle as an uncool style, is mystified by American food, and calls himself "The Donger". He also finds a love interest, an athletic large-breasted young woman who is physically larger than him.

Susannah Gora, writing about Sixteen Candles, said, "The role of 'The Donger' is pure comedy; a gong sounds every time Dong enters a scene. With his thick accent and bumbled attempts at American catchphrases ('Whass happenin', haaht stuff?'), everything Long Duk Dong says and does is understandably offensive—but is also, admittedly, hilarious."

Casting and performance
Actor Gedde Watanabe, a Japanese American from Ogden, Utah, was cast as Long Duk Dong in what was "his big Hollywood break". Before his audition, Watanabe had been in New York City performing for the musical Pacific Overtures at The Public Theater. His agent had informed him of the role as a foreign exchange student, and Watanabe decided to spend time "with a friend... who had a thick Korean accent" and "went to audition in character using [the] friend's accent". Watanabe recalled his portrayal attempt, "My training and my teachers had taught me that getting a character is about going for the intention. The Donger loved everything about America: the fun, the girls, the cars. So I didn't so much go for the jokes, but played to his excitement and enthusiasm." He auditioned for casting director Jackie Burch in-character, convincing her that he was from Korea and barely spoke English. Since Burch used to teach deaf people, she tried to use sign language with him before he revealed that he was born in Ogden, Utah. Director John Hughes was also originally fooled. When Hughes first heard Watanabe speak with his normal American accent, he chuckled and said: “Boy, was I duped.”

For the exercise machine sequence, Watanabe had found the machine in the attic of the mansion that was rented to use as the protagonist's family's household. He said of his character's perspective of the machine, "He wouldn't have known what that thing was. he would've thought it was something that cleans rice or makes tofu." Watanabe showed the machine to Hughes, who ultimately filmed the sequence in which Long Duk Dong and his American girlfriend awkwardly ride the machine together.

Watanabe said some sequences with Long Duk Dong were left out of the final cut of the movie including a scene with him and his love interest in bed smoking and a rap performance at the school dance which got everyone dancing. Watanabe said the rap went something like: 'I like Coca-Cola, lady skate roller, rock 'n' rolla'". Watanabe expressed his hope that Universal would bring back Long Duk Dong's rap in a future release of the film.

Watanabe said he had "a great experience" making Sixteen Candles but recognized in retrospect that he was "a bit naive" about his role. He said, "I was making people laugh. I didn't realize how it was going to affect people." He said that "some time" after the film appeared in theaters, he learned how many people were upset about his character, recalling an experience at the Metropolitan Museum of Art when an Asian woman came up to him to complain about his portrayal. Watanabe said, "I kind of understood, and I reasoned with it. But at the same time, I didn't really think of it that way... Back then I didn't understand as much as I do now. I was a little bit ignorant, too, because I grew up in Utah. I had a very strange upbringing where I didn't experience that much racism. I just thought I was a part of everybody else."

After Sixteen Candles, Watanabe was cast in several accented roles but later mostly stopped using exaggerated Asian accents for his roles. The actor did recognize the popularity of his character and created voice mail messages in the voice of Long Duk Dong to auction off for charity.

Contemporary critical reception
Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film a positive review and said of the character, "There are a lot of effective performances in this movie, including... Gedde Watanabe as the exchange student (he elevates his role from a potentially offensive stereotype to high comedy)." Janet Maslin, writing for The New York Times, said, "When the movie goes too far, as it does with a stupid subplot about a sex-crazed Oriental exchange student or a running gag about a young woman in a body brace, at least it manages to bound back relatively soon thereafter."

Legacy as Asian caricature
Alison MacAdam wrote in NPR in 2008, "To some viewers, [Long Duk Dong] represents one of the most offensive Asian stereotypes Hollywood ever gave America." When the film came out in 1984, several Asian-American groups condemned the character "as stereotypical, racist and part of a long history of Hollywood's offensive depictions of Asian men".

In 2011, Susannah Gora, writing about the 1980s films of John Hughes, said, "The only significant non-white character in any of these films is also the basest caricature of all: Long Duk Dong... A heightened national sense of cultural sensitivity (or political correctness, depending on how you look at it) swept America and the movie studios in the early nineties, and so the 1980s were, in many ways, the last moment when racially questionable jokes regularly found their place in mainstream comedies." Actress Molly Ringwald, who starred in Sixteen Candles, wrote in 2018 that in the film, "Long Duk Dong... is a grotesque stereotype."

The co-founders of the Asian American popular culture magazine Giant Robot, Martin Wong and Eric Nakamura, said before Sixteen Candles, students of Asian descent in the United States were often nicknamed "Bruce Lee". After Sixteen Candles, they were nicknamed "Donger" after Long Duk Dong. Wong said, "If you're being called Long Duk Dong, you're comic relief amongst a sea of people unlike you." Nakamura said, "You're being portrayed as a guy who just came off a boat and who's out of control. It's like every bad stereotype possible, loaded into one character." In addition to being called "Donger", the students were taunted with quotes of the character's lines in poor English such as "Oh, sexy girlfriend."

Of Dong's love interest who is physically larger than him, Kent Ono and Vincent Pham write in Asian Americans And The Media, "The gender roles are switched. While this representation aims to provide comic relief, it both feminizes Asian American men and simultaneously constructs alternative gender and sexuality as aberrant." NPR's Kat Chow said, "To be sure, there's nothing wrong with swapping gender roles, on-screen or off. What's icky about this relationship is how the filmmakers present it... Dong's femininity makes him weak, and we're meant to laugh at this."

Catherine Driscoll, writing in Teen Film: A Critical Introduction, said Long Duk Dong in Sixteen Candles, Mr. Miyagi in The Karate Kid (1984), and Maria in West Side Story (1961) all represent "the homogenization of racial difference in US popular culture including teen film". Driscoll said of John Hughes, who directed Sixteen Candles and several other teen films, "Even critics who praise Hughes's sensitivity to adolescent drama acknowledge that his is a very partial picture of adolescence. The Hughes teen is white, suburban, and normatively middle-class... non-white characters appear in the background or are crass caricatures like Sixteen Candles' Long Duk Dong (Gedde Watanabe)."

In the 2007 book Don't You Forget About Me: Contemporary Writers on the Films of John Hughes, Long Duk Dong is described as defying stereotypes, noting that "uberdork Long Duk Dong proves himself to be a party animal" and "by the nights end the school's entire social strata will have turned upside down" with Samantha, the freshman geek, and also foreign exchange student Long Duk Dong finding romantic and social success.

Gedde Watanabe commented that perhaps John Hughes thought he was breaking a stereotype with the character because Long Duk Dong was not the stereotypical nice studious Asian boy and was instead interested in going out and partying.

A 1980s cover band based in Lexington, Kentucky calls itself Long Duk Dong after the character. Band founder Shaun Justice said, "It's odd that a character that's not a primary character would have so much notability. But that one certainly did."

First Among Equals (novel)

First Among Equals is a 1984 novel by British author Jeffrey Archer, which follows the careers and personal lives of four fictional British politicians (Simon Kerslake, MP for Coventry Central and later Pucklebridge; Charles Seymour, MP for Sussex Downs; Raymond Gould, MP for Leeds North; and Andrew Fraser, MP for Edinburgh Carlton) from 1964 to 1991, with each vying to become Prime Minister. Several situations in the novel are drawn from Archer's own early political career in the British House of Commons, and the fictional characters interact with actual political figures from the UK and elsewhere including Winston Churchill, Alec Douglas-Home, Harold Wilson, Edward Heath, Margaret Thatcher, Douglas Hurd, Muammar al-Gaddafi, Gary Hart and Queen Elizabeth II.

The title is a literal translation of the Latin term Primus inter pares, a term used to refer to either the most senior member of a group of equals (peers) or to refer to someone who claims to be just one member of a group of equals when in reality he or she completely dominates said group. This phrase is used to describe the official constitutional status of the British Prime Minister within the Cabinet.

US and UK plot differences
When published in the United States, the novel was rewritten to eliminate the character of Andrew Fraser. The Fraser character eventually departs the Labour Party to join the breakaway Social Democratic Party. According to Archer, the change was made because the publisher did not believe an American audience could understand a multi-party political system. As a result, several plot elements revolving around Fraser were transferred to other characters, notably Simon Kerslake, who suffered through a change of heart toward a prospective marriage partner and the later loss of a child.

The ending of the novel differed in the US version, with both the winner of the ultimate election and the manner in which the contest was decided changing from one version to the next. In an interview, Archer joked that he found his American friends were generally more supportive of Kerslake, while his British readers backed Gould.

The original UK version was later released in the United States as well.

Television serial
First Among Equals was adapted into a Granada Television serial transmitted by ITV in 1986.

Personal life
The son of Stephen Gould, a butcher, Raymond from a young age had wanted to pursue a political career rather than enter the family business.

Gould is in something of a marriage of convenience with his wife Joyce, owing to her efforts to maintain support for him in his Leeds constituency. Gould had originally wished to break off their months-long relationship before being told by Joyce that she was pregnant and being forced to marry her. After Joyce suffered a miscarriage whilst travelling on their honeymoon, Gould did not endeavour to start a family with her. Due to the fact that Raymond and Joyce spent much of their time apart in London and Leeds respectively, Gould engaged in a number of extramarital affairs, and had solicited a prostitute early in his ministerial career (which resulted in attempted blackmailed against him).

Political career
Fraser was first elected as a Member of Parliament in 1964, continuously represented the constituency of Edinburgh Carlton during the events of the novel. Initially serving as a member of the Labour Party, he was deselected by his local party's executive, owing to its growing far-left composition, and replaced by its chairman, Frank Boyle.

Due to his deselection, Fraser defected to the Social Democratic Party, first contesting his seat as its candidate in 1983. This election was newsworthy due to both Fraser and Boyle being tied, which was resolved via a coin toss which Fraser won. As a new SDP MP, Fraser then became its parliamentary Spokesman for Defence.

Following the resignation of David Owen as Leader of the SDP, Fraser became leader uncontested. Following the election of a hung parliament in 1991, Fraser agreed to support a Labour-led government headed by Raymond Gould on condition that two Cabinet positions be granted to SDP MPs, and that a referendum be held on proportional representation.

Personal life
Due to his decision to pursue a political career as a member of the Labour Party, Fraser had something of a friendly rivalry with his father, the chairman of the local Conservative party. Despite their political differences, Fraser's father helped to support him, mentioning that he voted for his own son at each election and even appointing a non-entity candidate for the Conservatives to help his son's re-election prospects when he first contested his seat for the SDP (although this may also have been to prevent the election of Boyle, an ardent Communist).

Fraser and his wife, Louise, had a fraught time starting a family. After a miscarriage and the death of a girl hours after being born, the Frasers managed to bear a son, Robert Bruce Fraser, although medical complications from the earlier two pregnancies made having more children inadvisable. However, at age five, Robert was killed in a traffic incident after chasing after a stray football, leading to his parents entering a state of mourning and his mother to enter a catatonic state. Wishing to have another child, the Frasers adopt Clariss.

Charles Gurney Seymour
The Honourable Charles Gurney Seymour is the second son of the Earl of Bridgwater. When the novel was first published in the United States, the character's name was altered to "Charles Gurney Hampton". As he is the younger of twins (by a mere nine minutes), he does not inherit his father's peerage, shares in a merchant bank, a castle in Scotland or the 20,000-acre (80 km2) family estate. Missing out on such opulence, wealth and power to his harmless brother Rupert whom he despises (a feeling which his brother does not appear to share) leaves him bitter.

Education
Charles went to Eton College. After leaving school he progressed to Christ Church at the University of Oxford to read history. One night he heard a speech given by then-Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill. He was so inspired by the speech that he decided to do everything he could to become Prime Minister.

Early political career
An implacably ambitious and scheming man, Charles was elected the Conservative Party Member of Parliament (MP) for Sussex Downs with a majority in excess of 20,000 votes in the 1964 United Kingdom general election. He set about making himself stand out amongst the new intake of Conservative MPs. He ruthlessly backed Edward Heath for the leadership of the Conservative Party following the resignation of Sir Alec Douglas-Home simply because Heath was most likely to lead the party. His tactics paid off; Heath was elected leader and Charles was rewarded by being elevated to the front bench. His early posts included a stint in the Shadow Chief Whip's Office and the Shadow Local Government and Housing Department.

Political rival
Charles Seymour always predicted Simon Kerslake was "the only one of his contemporaries who could prevent him from leading the party." He therefore set about to wreck Kerslake's career. He tried to bankrupt him, leaked any scandals he could find about Kerslake, abused his powers as Junior Whip to ensure that Kerslake was absent on crucial votes in the House of Commons, thus causing him to lose favour with the leader, and unsuccessfully attempted to block Kerslake's bid to return to the Commons after his seat was abolished by boundary changes.

Cabinet career
Although he did not support her in the leadership election following the forced resignation of Edward Heath, Charles later served under Margaret Thatcher as Foreign Secretary and Home Secretary.

Leadership contest
Charles attempted to succeed Thatcher as Conservative Leader following her resignation. He stood against Kerslake and the foppish MP Alec Pimkin for the leadership. He topped the first ballot with an insufficient majority, prompting a run-off vote, which he lost. He lost the second ballot largely thanks to the defeated Alec Pimkin deciding to vote for Kerslake (he later confessed that he wanted to go to his grave knowing he done at least one decent thing).

Seymour was also damaged by the donation of a famous and expensive family portrait of the First Earl of Bridgewater to the British Museum. The move was perceived by members as being opportunistic, and contributed to Seymour getting a lower 2nd ballot total than on the first ballot.

In reality, the portrait was stolen from him by his ex-wife Fiona, who wanted to inflict maximum personal hurt on Seymour. She made the donation in the midst of the leadership contest knowing Seymour could not ask for its return. Believing that Seymour had donated the portrait himself, many Conservative MPs regarded the act has opportunistic, swaying opinion towards Kerslake.

First Ballot (held on Tuesday 16 May 1989)

1. Charles Seymour 138 votes

2. Simon Kerslake 135 votes

3. Alec Pimkin 15 votes

Second Ballot (held on Tuesday 23 May 1989)

1. Simon Kerslake 158 votes

2. Charles Seymour 130 votes

Post-front bench career
Charles was depressed about losing the leadership contest. His fate was sealed when his embittered ex-wife sold his story to the tabloid News of the World revealing all his underhand tactics. Kerslake was not bitter, however, and made Charles (who at this point was aging rapidly) numerous offers to return to the front bench. Charles declined them all and at his request became the Speaker of the House of Commons. As Speaker, he hosted a historic dinner at which Queen Elizabeth II revealed her intention to abdicate.

Family
Charles had a poor relationship with his mother, he detested his brother the Earl, and his two marriages both ended in divorce; his first wife, Fiona, had engaged in an extramarital affair with the chairman of the local Conservative association of Charles' constituency, whilst his second wife, Amanda, secretly sold off several Bridgewater family heirlooms for personal profit. Yet he showed a tremendous devotion to his son Harry, and was devastated when his ex-wife implied that Harry might not be his child (he was delighted when a blood type test suggested that he was, albeit not conclusively).

In the ITV television adaptation of First Among Equals, Charles was played by Jeremy Child.

Simon Kerslake
Simon Kerslake is a British Conservative Party politician, representing the Coventry Central and later Pucklebridge constituencies, who served under Prime Ministers Edward Heath and Margaret Thatcher. There is a certain amount of autobiographical influence in the character, as he shares Archer's politics, sporting history and a financial scandal that threatens his political career.

Personal life
Simon is a devoted family man married to Elizabeth (née Drummond), a gynaecologist, with two children, Peter and Michael (in the American edition, Peter and Lucy). His desire to look after his family nearly costs him his political career in the British House of Commons: anxious to give his family the lifestyle he felt they desired, he makes some risky investments, accumulates a lot of debt and only narrowly avoids bankruptcy.

Political career
Kerslake is a centrist Conservative, hard-working and honourable (despite his poor business judgment).

With only a few political missteps, Kerslake rises steadily through the Conservative Party during his 30-year career. Boundary changes lead to the abolition of his constituency at the February 1974 general election but he finds another and returns to the Commons at the October 1974 general election. He is badly injured by an IRA bomb while serving as Minister of State for Northern Ireland. He serves in a number of other Cabinet posts, including Secretary of State for Defence.

Simon's biggest rival is Charles Gurney Seymour, an aristocratic Conservative MP who does everything he can to stymie and sidetrack him. Simon narrowly survives each attempt to bring him down, and ultimately defeats him in a closely fought contest to be elected Leader of the Conservative Party.

The novel culminates in an extremely close general election in 1991 (the novel was published in 1984). The Labour Party leader, Raymond Gould, becomes Prime Minister in the original British edition of the novel, which ends with King Charles III inviting Kerslake to Buckingham Palace and informing him that he intends to make Gould his first Prime Minister. However, in the US edition, Gould is invited to Buckingham Palace. Charles III then informs him that in fact, Kerslake is to become the Prime Minister.

Włodzimierz Puchalski

Włodzimierz Puchalski (March 6, 1908 – January 19, 1979) was a Polish photographer and film director. He was a pioneer of wildlife film-making in Poland and became famous for publishing his album "Bezkrwawe łowy" (or bloodless hunting) in 1954.

Life
Puchalski was born in Velyki Mosty, near Lwów (then in Austria-Hungary, now Lviv in Ukraine). His father Władysław Puchalski owned an estate with Katarzyna née Sykora. His first experience with cameras began when his maternal grandfather Hieronim Sykora gifted him a wooden camera. An uncle Antoni Sykora was an expert on the birds and nature and accompanied young Puchalski in the outdoors. He spent endless hours taking pictures of animals, flowers and landscapes. He studied at the Politechnika Lwowska to become an agronomic engineer. He began his photographic career while in the Cadet Corps and during his college studies, initially photographing waterfowl in the fish ponds at Żółkiew (Zhovkva) from hides made of grass, and, later, carnivorous birds in Sokal. A friend, Tadeusz Chrzanowski (1926–2006), invited him to their family estate in Moroczyn. While on this visit, he was captivated by Edward's stepmother, Izabela (1900–1956). Puchalski assisted Witold Romer in 1933 on photochemistry and exhibited a set of photographs in 1936 and won awards in 1937 at the World Hunting Exhibition in Berlin. He worked also as an assistant to Kazimierz Wodzicki. He also recorded hunting scenes of the Polish nobility. He used the term "bloodless hunt" to describe hunting wildlife with a camera.

During World War II, he joined as an artillery lieutenant in 1939 and saw action in Lublin and Wołyniu. He was captured but managed to escape and from 1940 to 1944 he He was taken prisoner, from which he managed to escape. In the years 1940–1944 he worked as a forest ranger in the Brzóza estate in Sandomierz, working alongside the partisans. During the war, Izabela's husband Wincenty Chrzanów died and Puchalski married her on September 5, 1945. The couple then began to travel and make nature films together. In 1946, he joined forces with the Łódź educational film company Wytwórnia Filmów Oświatowych w Łodzi and, travelling throughout Poland, took photographs of nature subjects: flocks of migratory birds on the Biebrza and Narew rivers, as well as wisent, elk, wolves, lynx, beavers, deer and smaller animals. His first film was on bird island. He resigned from the company in 1950 partly because there were objections to the work team consisting of him, Izabela and Tadeusz (friend and since 1945 technically stepson) but rejoined it in 1956 after the death of his wife Izabela.

On Spitsbergen, he gathered substantive material about the fauna of the archipelago; in the Polish research station on King George Island in the Antarctic, he photographed penguins, sea lions, whale bones and birds. He died while filming skuas.

Death
Puchalski was assigned to the third polar expedition headed by Stanislaw Rakusa-Suszczewski and arrived at the Henryk Arctowski Polish Antarctic Station in 1978. He died on 19 January 1979 while working at the station and was buried on a hill to the south of the station.

Film festival
The Włodzimierz Puchalski International Nature Film Festival is held yearly in Łódź in Puchalski's honour.

Her next film was the 1995 action film Waterworld, playing a child named Enola.

She played the title role in the 1999 television film Alice in Wonderland. After Alice, she took time off from show business, later saying that she stopped acting so she would not miss out on her childhood: "I wanted to experience the things that a little kid can experience and get to know myself so when I came back I could be tough enough and strong enough to keep a good attitude, keep my head on straight and make the right decisions for myself and my family." She did not appear in another film until the 2004 cult film Napoleon Dynamite. From 2004 onward, she played a recurring role on UPN's series, Veronica Mars, as the computer-savvy Cindy "Mac" Mackenzie.

The Levitron top device is a commercial toy under this brand that displays the phenomenon known as spin-stabilized magnetic levitation. This method, with moving permanent magnets, is quite distinct from other versions which use changing electromagnetic fields, levitating various items such as a rotating world globe, model space shuttle or VW Beetle, and picture frame. 750,000 units of the top were sold from 1994 through 1999.

The top device
The toy top is essentially a permanent magnetic ring and corresponding magnetic base plate with a ring or alternate geometric configuration. Functional parameters, such as the top rotation rate or top weighting, are stringent. Employing principles of the magnetic field and gyroscopic stabilization, the Levitron top induces levitation through a series of interactive steps. The levitated top's stabilizing rotation undergoes natural, gradual slowing, so that the levitation phenomenon fails within four minutes unless external power is supplied to sustain rotation.

To levitate the top, a plastic plate is placed on top of the magnetic base, and the top is spun on the plate at 25–50 rotations per second (1500–3000 rpm). If too slow, the top falls over and slides off sideways; if too fast it does not orient itself to follow magnetic flux as it moves, and slides off. Since it can be difficult to spin the top fast enough by hand, Creative Gifts produced a battery-powered, hand held device to spin the top with an electric motor. Next, the plate is lifted by hand until, if conditions are right, the top rises above it to an equilibrium point. The top must also be weighted with washers of various sizes supplied in the kit. If too heavy it will not rise above the plate; if too light it flies off.

After a few minutes, the top falls when air friction slows it below the critical speed. Air temperature, air currents, ground vibration, and power source interruptions also alter the delicate equilibrium necessary to keep the top stable. More expensive laboratory versions can sustain a levitating top indefinitely by sustaining the top rotation, actively compensating for aberrations in rotation. The makers of the Levitron have developed a "Perpetuator", which sits under the Levitron and sends out an additional magnetic pulse. The additional force nudges the spinning top enough to maintain a constant speed. With a constant speed, and with the Levitron perfectly level, the Levitron top can spin for longer periods of time.

Invention and patents
The first spin-stabilized permanent magnet levitation device was invented (c 1976) and patented (1983) by inventor Roy Harrigan, of Vermont. In the mid-1990s, Seattle entrepreneur Bill Hones, who was himself exploring the possibility of permanent magnet levitation, discovered Harrigan's patent. Hones subsequently contacted Harrigan and later met with him. Upon Hones' request, Harrigan permitted him to borrow his prototype with the understanding that they were entering into a business arrangement. Hones, with the help of his father, a Physicist and employee at Los Alamos National Laboratory, analyzed the physics of the prototype, and then filed for an "improvement patent". In 1984, independent of Roy Harrigan, inventor Joseph Chieffo, of Pennsylvania, also discovered spin-stabilized magnetic levitation. Chieffo then developed his own spin-stabilized magnetic levitation device and attempted to obtain a patent thereon. Employing an attorney to conduct a U.S. Patent and Trademark records search, Chieffo was informed of the existence of the Harrigan patent; he thus concluded his efforts to secure a patent. In a final assessment, Chieffo's attorney noted that his device, although apparently unpatentable, could be marketed without infringing upon the Harrigan patent. In 1988, Chieffo marketed his device in kit form. Contrasting with the dished supporting magnet of the Harrigan invention, the base magnet of this latter device was rectangular and planar of upper surface, not unlike the base magnet of Hones' later-patented device, the now-popular Physics toy known as the Levitron.

In 2012 and 2014, Levitrons were operated at an angle of 45° as well as with their spin axis horizontal. This inclined and horizontal operation was obtained with the help of additional magnetic "V"s. The horizontal Levitron is particularly stable, which gives it educational potential.

Trademark litigation
In the 1990s, the then husband and wife partners Michael and Karen Sherlock formed the company they named "UFO" in New Mexico to market the Levitron under an oral agreement in partnership with Hones' company, Creative Gifts, Inc. Efforts to formalize the agreement in writing fell apart and grew acrimonious after UFO's principals learned about the device's earlier invention by Harrigan, and redesigned their website to incorporate the exposé-style article "THE HIDDEN HISTORY OF THE LEVITRON!", which accused Hones of stealing the invention from Harrigan. Creative Gifts, in turn, filed a trademark infringement suit in United States District Court of New Mexico against UFO and its owners. At trial and on appeal to the Tenth Circuit Creative Gifts' trademark claims were upheld, and all of UFO's counterclaims were rejected after UFO, which had been representing itself as a pro se defendant, was sanctioned by the court for abuse of discovery. The appeals court, noting that UFO had submitted a one-page opening brief with no citations to the record or discussion of the relevant law, commented in its ruling, "they have shot themselves in the foot."

Karol Olszewski

Karol Stanisław Olszewski ( Polish pronunciation : ; 29 January 1846 – 24 March 1915) was a Polish chemist, mathematician and physicist. Together with Zygmunt Wróblewski, he was the first scientist in the world to liquify oxygen and nitrogen in 1883.

Life and career
He was born in 1846 in Broniszów. He was a graduate of Kazimierz Brodziński High School in Tarnów (I Liceum Ogólnokształcące im. Kazimierza Brodzińskiego). He studied at Kraków's Jagiellonian University in the departments of mathematics and physics, and chemistry and biology. He carried out his first experiments using a personally improved compressor, compressing and condensing carbon dioxide.

Olszewski defended his doctoral dissertation at Heidelberg University, then returned to Kraków, where he was made profesor nadzwyczajny (associate professor).

In 1883, Zygmunt Wróblewski and Karol Olszewski were the first in the world to liquefy oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in a stable state (not, as had been the case up to then, in a dynamic state in the transitional form as vapor).

In 1884, in his Kraków laboratory, Olszewski was the first to liquefy hydrogen in a dynamic state, achieving a record low temperature of −225 °C (48 K). In 1895 he liquefied argon. He then failed only to liquefy the newly discovered helium element.

In January 1896, on hearing of Wilhelm Röntgen's work with X-rays, within a few days Olszewski replicated it. Later on, in early February he provided an X-ray image of a luxated elbow thus initiating the university's department of radiology.

He died on 24 March 1915 and was buried at the Rakowicki Cemetery in Kraków. In 2018, his ashes were transferred to one of Poland's National Pantheons located at the Church of Saints Peter and Paul in the Old Town district of Kraków.

According to physicist Andrzej Kajetan Wróblewski, Olszewski is among the greatest Polish physicists of the 20th century alongside Marie Curie, Marian Smoluchowski, Jerzy Pniewski, and Marian Danysz.

Talk:Dhabawallah

For an October 2004 deletion debate over this page see Votes for deletion/Dhabawallah

"everyone gets paid about 4000 rupees"

A month? A year? A day? Maastrictian 19:48, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)

 * I asked the exact same question on User_talk:MacGyverMagic. MGM said he'd have another look at his source. - RedWordSmith 20:05, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)

 * The title of this article is wrong. In Hindi Dabba means box, so dabbawalla (the dabba guy - or guy who transports the dabbas) would be the correct title. Dhaba on the other hand means a highway restaurant which caters to the highway traffic. I would suggest amending the title. Also, the salary would be approx. 4000 per month. 4000/week or day would be a pretty good sum for an educated engineer, so I am guessing the Dabbawalla dont make that kind of money for transporting dabbas.User:Mjaganna
 * Immediately after I added the previous comment, I did a Google search for Dabbawala, and guess what comes up first -- a Wikipedia article titled Dabbawala.Reading through that article, I think it is more accurate. I would suggest merging any additional information in this article into that one, and deleting this article.User:Mjaganna

Why not just change the entire contents of this page to be a redirect to Dabbawala rather than deleting it entirely? -Noren 23:12, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * I would have agreed with that if 'Dhabawallah' was a synonym for 'Dabbawala' but they mean two entirely different things - in fact Dhabawallah is not even a word in common parlance. However it could be translated to mean somebody who owns/operates a Dhaba which is a highway restaurant (more common in the Northern states, but increasingly popular in the south too). For non-indian readers - 'Da' and 'Dha' are two different consonants in most Indian languages and are generally not interchangeable. For these reasons, I would still vote for deletion.User:Mjaganna

Willie O'Dea

Willie O'Dea (born 1 November 1952) is an Irish Fianna Fáil politician who has been a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Limerick City constituency since 2011, and previously from 1982 to 2011 for the Limerick East constituency. He has served as Minister for Defence from 2004 to 2010, and was a Minister of State in different departments from 1992 to 1994, and again from 1997 to 2004.

Early and private life
O'Dea was born in Limerick in 1952, but he was raised in Kilteely, County Limerick. He was educated at the Patrician Brothers College in Ballyfin, County Laois, and University College Dublin where he studied law. He qualified as a barrister at King's Inns, Dublin and as an accountant from the Institute of Certified Accountants. He worked as both a barrister and as an accountant before embarking on a career in politics. He also lectured in the law faculties of both University College Dublin and the National Institute of Higher Education, Limerick (now the University of Limerick). As a lecturer, he taught future cabinet colleague and Taoiseach Brian Cowen.

O'Dea is married to Geraldine Kennedy. He writes regularly for the Sunday Independent and occasionally for other national newspapers.

Early political career
O'Dea first held political office as a Fianna Fáil member of Limerick County Council. He served on that authority until 1992. He first stood for election to Dáil Éireann in Limerick East at the 1981 general election, but was unsuccessful. He was elected to the Dáil on his second attempt at the February 1982 general election, capturing Fianna Fáil's second seat.

Like his former constituency colleague Desmond O'Malley, O'Dea was opposed to Charles Haughey's leadership throughout the 1980s, becoming a member of the so-called Gang of 22. When O'Malley founded Progressive Democrats in 1985 and left Fianna Fáil, O'Dea became the only Fianna Fáil TD in the five-seat Limerick East constituency.

Ministerial career
In January 1992, after Albert Reynolds succeeded Charles Haughey as leader of Fianna Fáil and Taoiseach in coalition with the Progressive Democrats. O'Dea was appointed as a Minister of State at the Department of Justice. In January 1993, in the Fianna Fáil–Labour Party coalition government, O'Dea was reappointed at Justice with the additional appointment as Minister of State at the Department of Health. He held these positions until December 1994, when the government collapsed.

After the 1997 general election, Fianna Fáil were back in government in coalition with the Progressive Democrats and O'Dea was appointed a Minister of State at the Department of Education and Science. Here he had responsibility for Adult Education and the School Transport Scheme. He oversaw reform and increased investment in adult education and back to school initiatives, starting with the launch of Green Paper in November 1998.

Following the 2002 general election, O'Dea was appointed Minister of State at the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform with special responsibility for Equality and Disability Issues. His main responsibility during this period was the passage of the Disabilities Bill, which the government had been forced to withdraw in early 2002 in the teeth of opposition from the disability sector. After a number of changes, including a form of the independent assessment of needs demanded by the disability organisations, O'Dea introduced a new bill in September 2004 along with an implementation package.

In September 2004, O'Dea was appointed Minister for Defence in a cabinet reshuffle. His tenure commenced as the army deafness compensation issue was starting to come to an end.

In November 2005, O'Dea was photographed during a media event at the Curragh Camp pointing an automatic pistol at a photographer. The photo appeared on the front page of The Irish Times the following day. O'Dea apologised saying that it was not his intention to glamorise gun crime.

As Minister for Defence, O'Dea prioritised two particular issues: the recruitment of more women to the Defence Forces and the promotion of more serving non-commissioned members to the commissioned ranks, often called "promotion from the ranks".

He also presided over Ireland's second tour in Lebanon in late 2006, as part of UNIFIL 2 and participation in the EUFOR mission to Chad.

O'Dea and Limerick
O'Dea is highly identified with his native Limerick. Three main issues have dominated his recent pronouncements on Limerick: Shannon Airport, Dell and gangland crime.

In August 2007, he broke ranks with cabinet colleagues to speak out against Aer Lingus's decision to cease London Heathrow Airport flights from Shannon.

In December 2008, O'Dea and Tánaiste Mary Coughlan flew to Dell's Corporate HQ in Texas, in a last-ditch and ultimately futile attempt to stop the closure of Dell's manufacturing plant in Raheen, Limerick. Manufacturing was moved to Poland, with the loss of about two thirds of the jobs at Dell's Limerick operation.

The murder of two innocent men in Limerick within months of each other: Shane Geoghegan and Roy Collins increased pressure on O'Dea locally, as a member of the cabinet, to secure changes to the law and greater resources to tackle Limerick city's gangland crime.

On 5 February 2010, O'Dea announced that the government would not deliver its commitments to fund the Limerick Regeneration project. The €1.7bn funds (between 2009 and 2018) promised by the government will no longer be delivered.

In October 2017, Willie O'Dea accused Johnny Depp of libel after calling Limerick 'Stab City', a term once linked with the city.

It was announced in 2021 that O'Dea and former minister Batt O'Keeffe had left the board of a UK property developer linked to the bulk sale of social housing in Limerick to approved housing bodies that qualify for State funding. Mr O’Dea had been non-executive chairman of Formation Group since mid-2014.

Defamation case and resignation
On 10 March 2009, O'Dea alleged in an interview with the Limerick Leader that a brothel had been operating in a house owned by Nessan Quinlivan, brother of Maurice Quinlivan who at the time was a Sinn Féin candidate in Limerick for the upcoming June 2009 local elections. On 14 April 2009, O'Dea signed an affidavit to the courts, denying making such allegations. Quinlivan sought an injunction under the Prevention of Electoral Abuses Act 1923: under section 11 of the act it is a criminal offence to make or publish a false statement of fact in relation to an election candidate. In December 2009, O'Dea settled the case out of court and apologised to Quinlivan for making "false and defamatory statements" during the interview, after a tape recording of the interview emerged. O'Dea also paid an undisclosed sum in damages to Quinlivan. A settlement agreement was read out in the High Court.

On 16 February 2010, Fine Gael announced it intended to table a motion of no confidence in O'Dea, however, the government responded with a motion of confidence. The government won the confidence motion in O'Dea in the Dáil on 17 February 2010. The Green Party, coalition partners in government with O'Dea's party, voted with Fianna Fáil on the motion. However, Green Party Chairman Senator Dan Boyle wrote on Twitter, that he has "no confidence" in O'Dea and declaring him to be "compromised".

On 18 February 2010, O'Dea resigned as Minister for Defence. In his resignation letter, he said that he had come to the conclusion: "that my continuing in office would distract from the important and vital work of the Government". O'Dea said he decided to resign when it became clear that the Green Party would no longer support the Government if he was to stay in office.

Reappointment to front bench
O'Dea was appointed to Micheál Martin's frontbench as Spokesperson for Communications, as part of the Fianna Fáil campaign for the 2011 general election.

In the 2011 election he was re-elected to the newly formed Limerick City constituency, polling 16% of the vote, down from the 39% he polled four years previously. He was the Fianna Fáil Spokesperson on Enterprise, Jobs and Innovation from April 2011 to July 2012. In July 2012, he was appointed as Spokesperson on Social Protection and Social Equality.

At the 2016 general election, O'Dea increased his share of the first preference from 16% to 27.8%. He was re-elected on the first count. He was re-elected again at the 2020 general election, with a reduced vote share.

O'Dea is understood to have raised concerns about the direction of the Fianna Fáil party under the leadership of Micheál Martin at internal party meetings but has so far declined to do so in public. Almost two years after the Coalition Government with Fine Gael and the Green Party was formed, O'Dea remarked that “By now I think you’d have more chance of getting young people interested in the music of Big Tom than getting them into Fianna Fáil,” in reference to the Irish country and traditional music singer.

In 2023, O'Dea voiced his criticism of the decision by the Minister for Justice, Simon Harris, to grant an application by convicted killer Logan Jackson, to move him from Limerick Prison to a jail in the Great Britain, so as to be nearer his family. O'Dea supported the legal challenge by Tracey Tully, the mother of the murdered champion Irish boxer, Kevin Sheehy.

Industrial
Moved from User talk:128.120.181.227:

 * You have put in some valuable information in industrial music, but please do not remove material without discussing it first on the Talk:industrial music page. You have one particular interpretation of the style, which is a particular point of view, but wikipedia policy is neutral point of view, which attempts to establish a consensus and to cite sources backing up those claims.  I have reverted the article to it's previous version, awaiting a discussion.  Thanks. --Lexor|Talk 02:14, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I have restored much of your text on industrial music, and I have more clearly separated out the more pure industrial subgenres from spinoff/crossover genres such as EBM etc, so hopefully this addresses your concerns without having to delete whole chunks. Please followup on the Talk page. Cheers. --Lexor|Talk 02:14, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)

More Industrial
Look, I don't know what it is you're trying to gain by making personal attacks on the Talk:industrial music page, but railing on what you assume about me isn't going to make for a better entry. Saying "DJ's dont play industrial" is more than patently false, it doesn't contribute anything valid to the conversation at hand. We're all here for the same reason, right? To make a better entry.

Can you please put aside whatever personal axes you have to grind, and we can find middle ground? Twiin 06:33, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * I'm not going to pretend to respect your opinions for a second. We can work things out AND call each other "fags", they do it all the time in gay bars. So if the idea of a division between the two waves works, would you be okay having the note mentioning some do not consider the second wave of music to be industrial, but that the popular opinion is that this music is a continuation of industrial. I think that's unbiased. Just mention us lonely folk that know what industrial really is, then you can tell all the readers that it's hogwash because the 'popular' opinion is that EBM, synthpop, futurepop, etc are industrial. I'm going to make some minor changes, I'll paste them here and you can tell me if it's alright with you. Sanctum 06:49, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Listen: I don't think synth/futurepop are Industrial. I don't play them, I don't book the bands. I don't know why you seem so insistent on 'knowing' who I am or what I do, or who I work with. I'm more than happy to have a note saying that there are a number of people (including artists listed in the 2nd/3rd waves) who do not consider 2nd/3rd wave music to be industrial, or what-not.

 * You don't have to 'pretend' to respect my opinions, but you -do- have to respect the other people on this Wiki. Them's the rules. Twiin 06:55, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Okay I moved industrial rock down to the second-wave genres because those artists came around in the early late 80's/early 90's. I made minor changes to Industrial Music Today. I'm happy with it as it stands, let me know if you have some issue with it. You might want to use three equals instead of the formatting the second wave currently has so the genres show up as subsets of the second-wave in that box on the top. Sanctum 07:03, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * I'm not happy with the changes, as I feel that the page itself needs a re-write (as does Tuf-Kat) -- Hence why I posted my proposed outline for a re-write. Instead of making changes to the main article itself, why don't you let me know what changes you'd like on the outline I proposed, so we can agree on a framework to rebuild? Twiin 07:04, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * As I mentioned on the discussion page, I don't think there is a 3rd wave. There has been a continuous stream of experimental and avant-garde industrial, the recent popularization of powernoise doesn't make it new. I feel that death industrial also belongs in the first wave because it's concepts date back to NON's early work.
 * I've taken issue too many times here, so if you feel there is a third wave that should be added then so be it. I just wish for powernoise, death industrial, and dark industrial to remain listed in the first wave. Sanctum 07:20, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * I don't have a problem with putting 80s acts like Grey Wolves/In Slaughter Natives and related genres in 1st wave -- but I don't think Powernoise as it exists now (and by Powernoise I'm referring to the 'ant-zen sound' - Converter/Asche/P.A.L/Imminent/Winterkalte) has any real connection to 1st wave artists like TG/NON. So can we agree on death/dark industrial as 1st wave, and powernoise as 3rd? Twiin 07:29, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Bloody Fist and Ant-Zen both started releasing powernoise in '94. It's not an ant-zen style, the genre doesn't really belong to any specific label. Powernoise came out of power electronics, it's simply rhythmic noise. It didn't incorporate any new wave influences or any of the styles associated with the second wave, powernoise just took something as basic as rhythm and added it to noise.
 * Now forgive me for addressing what I think your motive is here, and don't mind this if I guess wrong. Powernoise is real popular at those clubs, and you want it listed with the rest of the genres you consider industrial, is that it? Well I'm just arguing that although it's one of the popular genres commonly associated with all the genres you consider industrial, powernoise is a derivation of the purely industrial sound and should be listed with the other experimental styles. Sanctum 22:24, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * I'm not a 'powernoise DJ', if that's what you mean. I play '77 Throbbing Gristle, I play new releases from modern industrial labels, and most everything in between. The next concert I'm going to is the CMI show in NY. I don't have a particular attachment to powernoise -- I'm simply trying to fairly represent the varied sound that is widely considered 'industrial music' in the year 2004.

Dick Roche

Richard Roche (born 30 March 1947) is an Irish former Fianna Fáil politician who served as Minister of State for European Affairs from 2002 to 2004 and 2007 to 2011 and Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government from 2004 to 2007. He served as a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Wicklow constituency from 1987 to 1992 and 1997 to 2011. He was a Senator for the Administrative Panel from 1992 to 1997.

Early and private life
Roche was born in Wexford. He was educated at Wexford Christian Brothers School and University College Dublin (UCD) where he received Bachelor of Commerce Degree and a master's degree in Public Administration.

Roche is married to Eleanor Griffin, and they have three sons and one daughter. They live in County Wicklow.

On 15 December 2008, he was held hostage during a robbery at the Druids Glen Marriott Hotel and Country Club in County Wicklow.

Political career
Roche worked as a public servant at the Departments of Posts and Telegraphs, Transport and Power, Finance and at the Department of Economic Planning and Development. In 1978, he was appointed lecturer in Public Administration and Public Finance at UCD. In 1978, Roche became the first Irish Citizen to be awarded a United Nations Human Rights fellowship. He subsequently became a member of the Irish Commission for Justice and Peace and served as a time as Chairman of the commission.

Roche began his political career in 1985, when he was elected to Wicklow County Council. Two years later, at the 1987 general election he was elected to Dáil Éireann as a Fianna Fáil TD for the Wicklow constituency.

Roche lost his seat at the 1992 general election, but was elected to Seanad Éireann. In the Irish Senate Roche introduced a Freedom of Information Bill-based closely on the Norwegian Freedom of Information legislation. He was returned to the 28th Dáil at the 1997 general election and remained a TD until 2011.

Following the 2002 general election Roche was appointed Minister of State at the Department of the Taoiseach and the Department of Foreign Affairs with special responsibility for European Affairs. In his role, effectively as Minister for Europe, he played a large role during Ireland's Presidency of the European Council in 2004. In 2004, Roche was conferred with the Order of the Cross of Terra Mariana by the Government of Estonia for his support of Estonia's accession to the European Union. In 2004, he became Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government. He retained his seat at the 2007 general election, but on the formation of the new government, was the only member of the previous Cabinet to be demoted, being re-appointed as Minister of State for European Affairs.

His last act as Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government was the signing of an order that was to lead to work being resumed on the controversial M3 motorway near the Hill of Tara. He remained Minister of State for European Affairs, during which Ireland conducted two referendums on the Treaty of Lisbon.

2011 election defeat
He lost his seat at the 2011 general election, polling only 5.5% of the vote which was down from the 15.8% he polled four years previously. Roche prolonged the count by requesting a recount when it was found that only three votes separated him and his Fianna Fáil running mate Pat Fitzgerald, an action which was criticised by some other candidates including Fitzgerald, who also accepted that there wouldn't be a seat for Fianna Fáil. He was not present at the announcement of his elimination which was greeted by cheering and applause from a number of people at the count centre.
