Mobile IP

Mobile IP (or MIP) is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard communications protocol that is designed to allow mobile device users to move from one network to another while maintaining a permanent IP address. Mobile IP for IPv4 is described in IETF RFC 5944, and extensions are defined in IETF RFC 4721. Mobile IPv6, the IP mobility implementation for the next generation of the Internet Protocol, IPv6, is described in RFC 6275.

Introduction
The Mobile IP allows for location-independent routing of IP datagrams on the Internet. Each mobile node is identified by its home address disregarding its current location in the Internet. While away from its home network, a mobile node is associated with a care-of address which identifies its current location and its home address is associated with the local endpoint of a tunnel to its home agent. Mobile IP specifies how a mobile node registers with its home agent and how the home agent routes datagrams to the mobile node through the tunnel.

Applications
In many applications (e.g., VPN, VoIP), sudden changes in network connectivity and IP address can cause problems. Mobile IP was designed to support seamless and continuous Internet connectivity.

Mobile IP is most often found in wired and wireless environments where users need to carry their mobile devices across multiple LAN subnets. Examples of use are in roaming between overlapping wireless systems, e.g., IP over DVB, WLAN, WiMAX and BWA.

Mobile IP is not required within cellular systems such as 3G, to provide transparency when Internet users migrate between cellular towers, since these systems provide their own data link layer handover and roaming mechanisms. However, it is often used in 3G systems to allow seamless IP mobility between different packet data serving node (PDSN) domains.

Operational principles
The goal of IP Mobility is to maintain the TCP connection between a mobile host and a static host while reducing the effects of location changes while the mobile host is moving around, without having to change the underlying TCP/IP. To solve the problem, the RFC allows for a kind of proxy agent to act as a middle-man between a mobile host and a correspondent host.

A mobile node has two addresses – a permanent home address and a care-of address (CoA), which is associated with the network the mobile node is visiting. Two kinds of entities comprise a Mobile IP implementation:
 * A home agent (HA) stores information about mobile nodes whose permanent home address is in the home agent's network. The HA acts as a router on a mobile host's (MH) home network which tunnels datagrams for delivery to the MH when it is away from home, maintains a location directory (LD) for the MH.
 * A foreign agent (FA) stores information about mobile nodes visiting its network. Foreign agents also advertise care-of addresses, which are used by Mobile IP. If there is no foreign agent in the host network, the mobile device has to take care of getting an address and advertising that address by its own means. The FA acts as a router on a MH’s visited network which provides routing services to the MH while registered. FA detunnels and delivers datagrams to the MH that were tunneled by the MH’s HA

The so-called Care of Address is a termination point of a tunnel toward a MH, for datagrams forwarded to the MH while it is away from home.
 * Foreign agent care-of address: the address of a foreign agent that MH registers with
 * co-located care-of address: an externally obtained local address that a MH gets.

A Mobile Node (MN) is responsible for discovering whether it is connected to its home network or has moved to a foreign network. HA’s and FA’s broadcast their presence on each network to which they are attached. They are not solely responsible for discovery, they only play a part. RFC 2002 specified that MN use agent discovery to locate these entities. When connected to a foreign network, a MN has to determine the foreign agent care-of-address being offered by each foreign agent on the network.

A node wanting to communicate with the mobile node uses the permanent home address of the mobile node as the destination address to send packets to. Because the home address logically belongs to the network associated with the home agent, normal IP routing mechanisms forward these packets to the home agent. Instead of forwarding these packets to a destination that is physically in the same network as the home agent, the home agent redirects these packets towards the remote address through an IP tunnel by encapsulating the datagram with a new IP header using the care of address of the mobile node.

When acting as transmitter, a mobile node sends packets directly to the other communicating node, without sending the packets through the home agent, using its permanent home address as the source address for the IP packets. This is known as triangular routing or "route optimization" (RO) mode. If needed, the foreign agent could employ reverse tunneling by tunneling the mobile node's packets to the home agent, which in turn forwards them to the communicating node. This is needed in networks whose gateway routers check that the source IP address of the mobile host belongs to their subnet or discard the packet otherwise. In Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6), "reverse tunneling" is the default behaviour, with RO being an optional behaviour.

Development
Enhancements to the Mobile IP technique, such as Mobile IPv6 and Hierarchical Mobile IPv6 (HMIPv6) defined in RFC 5380, are being developed to improve mobile communications in certain circumstances by making the processes more secure and more efficient.

Fast Handovers for Mobile IPv6 is described in IETF RFC 5568.

Researchers create support for mobile networking without requiring any pre-deployed infrastructure as it currently is required by MIP. One such example is Interactive Protocol for Mobile Networking (IPMN) which promises supporting mobility on a regular IP network just from the network edges by intelligent signalling between IP at end-points and application layer module with improved quality of service.

Researchers are also working to create support for mobile networking between entire subnets with support from Mobile IPv6. One such example is Network Mobility (NEMO) Network Mobility Basic Support Protocol by the IETF Network Mobility Working Group which supports mobility for entire Mobile Networks that move and to attach to different points in the Internet. The protocol is an extension of Mobile IPv6 and allows session continuity for every node in the Mobile Network as the network moves.

Changes in IPv6 for Mobile IPv6

 * A set of mobility options to include in mobility messages
 * A new Home Address option for the Destination Options header
 * A new Type 2 Routing header
 * New Internet Control Message Protocol for IPv6 (ICMPv6) messages to discover the set of home agents and to obtain the prefix of the home link
 * Changes to router discovery messages and options and additional Neighbor Discovery options
 * Foreign Agents are no longer needed

Definition of terms

 * Home network: The home network of a mobile device is the network within which the device receives its identifying IP address (home address).

 * Home address: The home address of a mobile device is the IP address assigned to the device within its home network.

 * Foreign network: A foreign network is the network in which a mobile node is operating when away from its home network.

 * Care-of address: The care-of address of a mobile device is the network-native IP address of the device when operating in a foreign network.

 * A home agent is a router on a mobile node’s home network which tunnels datagrams for delivery to the mobile node when it is away from home. It maintains current location (IP address) information for the mobile node. It is used with one or more foreign agents.
 * A foreign agent is a router that stores information about mobile nodes visiting its network. Foreign agents also advertise care-of-addresses which are used by Mobile IP.

 * Binding: A binding is the association of the home address with a care-of address.

Ibberton

Ibberton is a village and civil parish in the county of Dorset in southern England. It is situated in the Blackmore Vale under the scarp face of the Dorset Downs, 5 mi south of Sturminster Newton and 7 mi west of Blandford Forum. The parish covers 1382 acre extending over the chalk downs that lie to the south and includes the hamlets of Leigh, and Kitford. In the 2011 census the parish had a population of 101, a reduction from 134 in 2001.

The name Ibberton derives from the Old English Ēadbeorht (a personal name), ing and tūn, and means 'estate associated with the man Ēadbeorht'. In 1086 in the Domesday Book it was recorded as Abristetone. Later variants of the name include Ebrictinton and Edbrichton.

The parish church of St Eustace occupies a site that gives far-reaching views northwards over the Blackmore Vale, and Ibberton Hill to the south provides an even loftier vantage point.

Community facilities within the village include a village hall, which is also used by the neighbouring villages of Belchalwell and Woolland, and a cricket ground.

Midland F1 Racing

Midland F1 Racing (also known as MF1 Racing, or simply "Midland") was a Formula One constructor and racing team which competed in the 2006 Formula One season with drivers Christijan Albers and Tiago Monteiro. The team was created by the renaming of Jordan Grand Prix after its purchase by Canadian businessman, and owner of the Midland Group, Alex Shnaider. The team was licensed as the first Russian Formula One team, although it continued to be based in the United Kingdom, at Jordan's Silverstone factory. Towards the end of the 2006 season, the team was sold to Spyker Cars N.V.; the team raced in its last three Grands Prix under the official name Spyker MF1 Racing. In 2007, the team competed as Spyker F1, and in 2008 was sold to Indian businessman Vijay Mallya and was renamed Force India F1.

2005 purchase of Jordan

The Midland Group's interest in Formula One involvement began in 2004 when they confirmed plans to create a team to race in the season. Although they were initially linked with creating a new unit or purchasing Jaguar, the group instead signed a deal to buy the Jordan team from Eddie Jordan prior to the season, for a sum of $60 million. As a result, the team would be a legal continuation of Jordan and not a new entity subject to Formula One's $48 million entry bond. It also allowed Midland to claim the television revenue generated by Jordan's subsequent ninth place in the constructors' championship.

The team retained Jordan's name for the 2005 season but struggled at the back of the grid with rookie drivers Narain Karthikeyan and Tiago Monteiro. The highlights of the season were Monteiro's third-place finish at the US Grand Prix (in which only six cars competed due to problems with Michelin tyres), Monteiro managed an excellent eighth place at Spa in wet conditions to give the Jordan name its last point and his lengthy streak of consecutive finishes, which underlined the car's reliability.

Some media reports at this time began to speculate that Midland were unhappy with their purchase and looking to offload Jordan even before the team entered under its own name in 2006. Team principal Trevor Carlin quit the team after seven races, and chief engineer and designer Mark Smith before the end of the season. There were consistent reports that the team was linked with a buy-out by former Formula One driver Eddie Irvine.

2006 season
The name of the team was changed to MF1 Racing for the 2006 Formula One season. In the UK a joke emerged regarding this short form being written in the same way as economy furniture manufacturer MFI. Over the winter Russian driver Roman Rusinov tested a new car, the Midland M16 with a new livery (red, white and black to reflect Midland Group's corporate colours) and Toyota engines. MotoGP motorcyclist Max Biaggi also had a test in the car at Silverstone in January. Italian racing car constructor Dallara had originally been contracted to develop the M16, however the agreement was discontinued during the design process after a disappointing contribution from the Italian manufacturer. The senior management subsequently placed its faith in the incumbent design team, promoting former head of vehicle science James Key to the role of technical director towards the end of the 2005 season.

Shnaider had been insistent that Midland intended to field Formula One's first Russian driver - although Russian drivers had tested in the past, mainly for the Minardi team, none had ever raced in a Grand Prix - but instead signed Dutchman Christijan Albers from Minardi, and retained Portuguese driver Tiago Monteiro. The team had previously failed in a bid to sign Takuma Sato.

During the team's very short time in F1, they used three drivers on the Fridays of Grands Prix:
 * Markus Winkelhock at Sakhir, Melbourne, Hockenheim and Hungaroring
 * Giorgio Mondini at Sepang, Imola, Barcelona, Monte Carlo, Silverstone, Montreal, Indianapolis, Istanbul and Monza
 * Adrian Sutil at Nürburgring and Magny-Cours

During the last three races, as Spyker MF1 Racing, the team used the following test drivers:
 * Alexandre Prémat at Shanghai
 * Adrian Sutil at Suzuka
 * E. J. Viso at Interlagos

As the 2006 season went on, the team went from running ahead of Super Aguri but behind everyone else, to consistently sparring with other midfield teams such as Red Bull Racing and Scuderia Toro Rosso although it only ever finished ahead of crippled cars, Super Aguri and the occasional Toro Rosso. Much of that progress was down to tyre development from Bridgestone coupled with significant improvements in aerodynamics and handling (overseen by Simon Phillips and Richard Frith respectively). The improved performance saw the team begin to make it into the second qualifying session on an occasional basis - eight times out of a possible 36 overall - with a best qualifying position of 14th.

Unfortunately this increased mid-season performance did not translate into hard results as the team were involved in a number of first-lap accidents, notably at Monaco, Indianapolis and Montreal, and the team was disqualified from the German Grand Prix for running a flexible wing in contravention of the sport's technical regulations.

The team went from being around four seconds off the pace per lap in 2005 to around 2 seconds per lap at the time of its sale to Spyker cars in September 2006.

Sale of the team
Rumours had been floating about in the paddock throughout the mid-season about the possible sale of the team, less than two years after Shnaider originally bought it from Eddie Jordan. Reports suggested a price tag of $128 million, and that Shnaider was seriously considering the possibility of the sale. Formula One teams had become more valuable, because no more teams could enter after 2008, with the maximum of 12 places already filled.

On 9 September 2006, it was revealed that the team was sold to Spyker Cars. Spyker paid $106.6 million for the team. On 10 September ITV Sport said that Shnaider was no longer involved in the team since the announcement of the sale. Colin Kolles remained as team principal, while Michiel Mol became the new Director of F1 racing and member of the Spyker board and Mike Gascoyne joined as Chief Designer at the end of the season. The cars appeared in a revised livery for the final three races of 2006. Name changes are not allowed mid-season, but Spyker were legitimately able to name themselves as the team's title sponsor, so the team raced in its last three Grands Prix under the official name "Spyker MF1 Racing". In 2007, the team competed as Spyker F1. From 2008 onwards, the team competed as Force India.

Postling

Postling is a village and civil parish situated near the Roman road of Stone Street, about 17 mi south of Canterbury, Kent, in South East England. Postlinges is the spelling used in the Domesday Book where it was part of the lands of Hugo de Montfort; Postlinge is also seen in old records. There is much archaeological evidence of continued occupation of the area. Postling Court is, in effect, the old manor-house, although is, more correctly as the name suggests, the one-time meeting place of the local court and magistrate. The population of the civil parish includes the hamlet of Newbarn.

The parish church is dedicated to Saints Mary and Radegund. It is a Grade I listed building. The oldest parts are from the late 11th or 12th century.

A junction south of the village is known as Postling Wents; "went" or "vent" is an older Kent word which means "ways". It was once the crossroads where the London to Folkestone road crossed the Lympne to Lyminge road, but is now a sharp bend on the A20.

Albie (TV series)

Albie is a British animated series about a five-year-old boy with a wild, distorted imagination. Unfortunately, this gets him into trouble with his friends, family and his neighbour, the grouchy Mr. Kidhater-Cox. Albie was created by award-winning children's author Andy Cutbill and was based on his own childhood. Andy also helped develop Rupert Bear, Follow the Magic... for Channel 5. These series can be often seen repeated on the ITV children's digital channel, CITV.

Overview
The concept of Albie involves a small boy who keeps encountering exotic animals in his garden whose sole purpose seem to be to get him into trouble. This includes a herd of Welsh water buffalo on a mission to nick the bath from Albie's house, Geordie elephants obsessed with buns and a couple of Sahara-missing cockney camels living in the sand-pit. Albie's interaction with the animals is left open as to whether the occurrences are real or not.

From a technical point of view, the show is noteworthy as the human characters and backgrounds were 2D, while the animals were all 3D CGI, with the two elements composited together. 3D animation was done by the short-lived but talented CHD department of Cosgrove Hall Films.

Warped, funny, with extraordinary plots, most episodes end with the innocent Albie getting the blame, and some very angry person shouting "ALBIE!"

These two images are both from official Labour Party or Trades Union Congress sources. I got them from "The British Labour Party", a book published in 1948 and officially sponsored. As such, their copyright expires after 75 years - but since Hardie died in 1915 and the picture of Henderson was clearly taken more than 75 years ago, this makes them out of copyright.

''The communist government allocated substantial resources to the development of agriculture. Large-scale programs of land reclamation, soil improvement, and irrigation, as well as increased use of fertilizers, all contributed to a significant expansion of agricultural production. Yet, despite impressive gains, agricultural production continues to be hindered by the persistence of traditional farming methods, low mechanization, and a lack of material incentives to encourage farmers to produce. This lasting legacy of the forced collectivization of agriculture and the abolition of private property has made it necessary to return land to the peasants and allow them to raise crops and livestock for private profit. The expansion of private agriculture is intended to pave the way for the introduction of new farming techniques and mechanization.''

Langton Herring

Langton Herring is a village and civil parish in the county of Dorset in South West England. It lies about 5 mi north-west of the coastal resort town of Weymouth. It is "prudently set on a ridge above the Fleet", the Fleet being a brackish lagoon behind Chesil Beach. Dorset County Council estimate that in 2013 the population of the civil parish was 120. In the 2011 census the population of the parish combined with the small parish of Fleet to the south was 240.

The name of the village comes from the Old English 'Lang + tun' meaning 'long farmstead or estate' with the 13th Century 'Harang' family affix, from their time as Lords of the Manor. Literature in the church records that all the men of Langton Herring returned from both World Wars, making it one of only a handful of doubly Thankful Villages in the country, and the only village in Dorset to be spared fatalities in the Great War.

Just over half a mile to the east of the village, by the B3157 road, is Langton Cross, a medieval stone monolith, which is missing the top arm.

Langton Herring has one public house 'The Elm Tree Inn', a historic building dating back approximately 400 years.

Districts of Prague

Prague has a local-government structure of two or three tiers, depending on the area of town. At the top is the Magistrate of the Capital City of Prague (Magistrát hlavního města Prahy), which is responsible for public transport; waste collection; municipal police; firefighting; ambulance services; cultural activities; care of historical sites; the Prague Zoo; and other activities of citywide significance.

Prague is divided into 10 municipal districts (1-10), 22 administrative districts (1-22), 57 municipal parts, or 112 cadastral areas.

Since 1990, the city has been divided into 56 (since 1992, 57) self-governing municipal parts (městské části). The parts are responsible for parks and environmental protection; ordering equipment for schools and volunteer firefighters; some cultural and sports activities; activities for seniors; some social and health programs; cemeteries; and collection of fees for dog tags and the like. Another important activity of the municipal parts is the ownership, maintenance and, sometimes, sale of public property, especially public housing.

Since 2001, the 57 municipal parts have been grouped into 22 numbered administrative districts (správní obvody), for national-government purposes. One administrative district has responsibility for providing certain services for the municipal parts. Those services include providing business licenses, identity cards and passports. The administrative district with such responsibility sometimes shares a name with the municipal part it serves. For example, the administrative district of Prague 19 provides those services to the municipal parts of Prague 19 (Kbely), Prague-Satalice and Prague-Vinoř. Residents of Satalice can get dog tags in their neighborhood but must go to Kbely, home of the Prague 19 government, to get an identity card.

Both the citywide government and the municipal districts have elected councils and mayors. The mayor of the Capital City of Prague is known as the primátor, which is sometimes translated into English as "lord mayor" (even though the Czech title carries no connotations of nobility).

Since 1960, Prague has been divided into 10 municipal districts. Those 10 districts are still used for addressing and transportation purposes and, for example, the organisation of courts and prosecutions. Street signs usually reflects the name of a municipal district and additionally add the name of the cadastral area (katastrální území). Thus, a sign in Kbely will say "Praha 9-Kbely," not "Praha 19." Prague residents are much more likely to use the name of a cadastral area, than the name of an administrative district in everyday communication.

Table of administrative and municipal districts

Notes:
 * In 2001, the Czech government ordered that every municipal district that serves an entire administrative district should be named for the administrative district that it serves. Thus, the municipal districts of Radotín, Řepy, Letňany, Kbely, Horní Počernice, Újezd nad Lesy and Uhříněves are now Prague 16 through 22, respectively. The old names remain as the names of cadastral areas.
 * All named districts officially begin with "Prague-", or "Praha-" in Czech. Thus, for example, the official name of Kunratice is "Prague-Kunratice" or "Praha-Kunratice".

Other areas
Beyond the 111 cadastral areas named above, many other Prague settlements, quarters and housing estates are perceived as districts, although they do not constitute their own cadastral areas. Examples: Barrandov, Spořilov, Sídliště Košík, Zahradní Město, Pankrác, Letná, Bubny, Zlíchov, Klíčov, Butovice, Klukovice, Kačerov, Jenerálka, Šárka, Strahov, Chodovec, Litochleby, Dubeček, Lázeňka, Netluky, Zmrzlík, Cikánka, Kateřinky, Hrnčíře, Pitkovičky, Lahovičky, Dolní Černošice, Kazín, Závist, Baně, Strnady, and many others.

The biggest panelák complexes are Jižní Město ("South City"), Severní Město ("North City") and Jihozápadní Město ("Southwest City"), all of which consist of partial housing estates. Most of Prague's panelák estates that were built between the 1960s and 1980s have names that incorporate the Czech word sídliště, which refers to a post-World War 2 eastern bloc housing estate. Many local names originated from names of historic villages in today's Prague area.

Anomalepididae

The Anomalepididae are a family of nonvenomous snakes, native to Central and South America. They are similar to Typhlopidae, except that some species possess a single tooth in the lower jaw. Currently, four genera and 15 species are recognized. Common names include primitive blind snake and dawn blind snake.

Description
Species in the family Anomalepididae are small snakes, in total length (including tail) usually less than 30 cm, with blunt heads and short, blunt tails. They are mainly burrowing snakes, and due to their life style their eyes are vestigial.

Geographic range
The family Anomalepididae is found from Southern Central America to north-western South America. Disjunct populations occur in north-eastern and south-eastern South America.

Genera

Leptotyphlopidae

The Leptotyphlopidae (commonly called slender blind snakes or thread snakes ) are a family of snakes found in North America, South America, Africa and Asia. All are fossorial and adapted to burrowing, feeding on ants and termites. Two subfamilies are recognized.

Description
Relatively small snakes, leptotyphlopids rarely exceed 30 cm in length; only Trilepida macrolepis and Leptotyphlops occidentalis grow larger. The cranium and upper jaws are immobile and no teeth are in the upper jaw. The lower jaw consists of a much elongated quadrate bone, a tiny compound bone, and a relatively larger dentary bone. The body is cylindrical with a blunt head and a short tail. The scales are highly polished. The pheromones they produce protect them from attack by termites. Among these snakes is what is believed to be the world's smallest: L. carlae (Hedges, 2008).

Geographic range
Leptotyphlopids are found in Africa, western Asia from Turkey to eastern India, on Socotra Island, and from the southwestern United States south through Mexico and Central America to South America, though not in the high Andes. In Pacific South America, they occur as far south as southern coastal Peru, and on the Atlantic side as far as Uruguay and Argentina. In the Caribbean, they are found on the Bahamas, Hispaniola, and the Lesser Antilles.

Habitat
Leptotyphlopids occur in a wide variety of habitats from arid areas to rainforest, and are known to occur near ant and termite nests.

Feeding
The diets of leptotyphlopids consist mostly of termite or ant larvae, pupae, and adults. Most species suck out the contents of insect bodies and discard the exoskeleton.

Reproduction
Snakes in the family Leptotyphlopidae are oviparous.

Lympne

Lympne, formerly also Lymne, is a village on the former shallow-gradient sea cliffs above the expansive agricultural plain of Romney Marsh in Kent. The settlement forms an L shape stretching from Port Lympne Zoo via Lympne Castle facing Lympne Industrial Park then via the main settlement to Newingreen in the north, centred 11 km west of Folkestone, 2.3 mi west of Hythe and 13 km ESE of Ashford.

History
In Roman times Lympne was known as Portus Lemanis, from which (or from the British eponym of which) the English name is derived in identical written form to one of its Middle English written recorded forms. It lay at the end of the Roman road from Canterbury, known today as Stone Street. It had a Saxon Shore fort, and, according to a fifth-century source was garrisoned by a regiment originally raised in Tournai in northern Gaul. Its remains are at the bottom of the south-facing cliffs; they lie in private land but can be visited due to a public footpath crossing the area. In Anglo-Saxon times the fort was given the name "Stutfall", meaning "fold in which a stud, or herd, is kept". One of the oldest houses in the village is The Sanctuary; parts of the building date back to 1774.

From 1923 onwards Lympne Aerodrome was home to the Lympne light aircraft trials and air races. In the 1930s it was the starting point for several long-distance record flights, including a solo one to Cape Town by Amy Johnson in 1932, and also ones by her later-to-be husband Jim Mollison. Jean Batten later flew from Lympne to Darwin, beating Johnson's long-distance record, in 1934. In the post-war years the world's first air car-ferry service was operated by Silver City Airways between Lympne and Le Touquet. The airport has now been closed and turned into an industrial estate.

Landmarks
Port Lympne Zoo is west of where the older part of Lympne stands. St. Stephen's church, the Church of England parish church of Lympne, is listed in the highest category of listed building and so too 14th and 15th century Lympne Castle founded 'probably in the late 13th century' according to the UK statutory body's experts. Adjacent, these landmarks overlook the Romney Marsh plain including Palmarsh sailing club lake immediately to the south of the steep slope to the south. The church mostly is a late 11th to 14th century in various parts of different centuries between these and was restored including by English architect J.P. St Aubyn, having monuments separately listed in the grounds to the Wooly and Knatchbull families. The castle has an adjoining medieval wellhead. The structure was restored and saw additions in 1907 and 1911–12 by Robert Lorimer, Arts and Crafts Scottish architect.

Governance
Lympne is part of the electoral ward called Lympne and Stanford. The population of this ward at the 2011 Census was 2,004.

Amenities
Lympne has a village hall, a convenience/grocery shop, a hairdresser and a large pub-restaurant: The County Members.

Sports
A village football team plays in Kent leagues and trains new sides in the sport: Lympne Village Football Club, LVFC. Neighbouring villages provide other sports, such as cricket in the summer which is played informally in Lympne.

Transport
Lympne straddles the B2067 road from Hythe to Aldington, Hamstreet and Tenterden. The nearest railway station is at Westenhanger.

Early 20th century
In H. G. Wells's 1901 novel First Men in the Moon, the English narrator Bedford, the sole survivor of the Moon expedition, attempts to land the antigravity sphere anywhere on Earth and has the good fortune to land it on the seashore at Lympne, reasonably close to his departure point. A local boy enters the antigravity sphere without Bedford's permission, and accidentally activates it, sending himself and the sphere into space, never to return.

Lympne was the written and spoken setting of the 1945 David Lean's film production of Noël Coward's play Blithe Spirit, starring Rex Harrison and Margaret Rutherford (filmed in and around Denham, Buckinghamshire).

Lympne Hill figures in the Doctor Syn stories by Russell Thorndike.

In the book Biggles Pioneer Air Fighter by W. E. Johns, this place has an airfield where his Camel is stationed while Biggles is on holiday.

Littlemoor

Littlemoor is a suburb of Weymouth in Dorset, England. Littlemoor is about 2 mi to the north of the town centre. The nearest railway station is Upwey 0.5 mi to the west.

During World War I, the Littlemoor area was used as an Australian army camp. For this reason many of the roads in the area today are named after towns and cities in Australia.

Littlemoor has a skatepark, youth centre and a small shopping centre. Opposite the shopping centre there is a Library; next to which is a small green, and the local Church of England church - St. Francis of Assisi. There is also a community centre and a youth club.

Littlemoor is partially surrounded by fields. It has a woodland area (which has been named Teddy Bear woods, referencing to the famous nursery rhyme) managed by Dorset Wildlife Trust, part of their Lorton Meadows nature reserve.

Littlemoor has a high level of deprivation and poverty but this has decreased in recent years as the estate has expanded.

The estate is historically a labour stronghold and has been represented by labour councillors since it was created in 2004 with Cllr Mark Tewkesbury (Labour) serving since its creation. Since the move to a unitary council it has been represented by Cllr Tony Ferrari (Conservative) and Cllr Louie O'Leary as part of the Littlemoor and Preston ward. On 6 November 2023, councillor Tony Ferrari died after collapsing while running.

Anilius

The Aniliidae are a monotypic family created for the monotypic genus Anilius that contains the single species Anilius scytale. Common names include the American pipe snake and false coral snake. It is found in South America. This snake possesses a vestigial pelvic girdle that is visible as a pair of cloacal spurs. It is ovoviviparous. It is non-venomous, and its diet consists mainly of amphibians and other reptiles. Two subspecies are recognized, including the nominate subspecies described here.

Description
This species is found in the Amazon rainforest of South America, the Guianas, and Trinidad and Tobago. It is a moderate-sized snake attaining a size of about 70 cm in length. It is fossorial and is rarely seen. It is reported to be ovoviviparous and feeds on beetles, caecilians (burrowing legless amphibians), amphisbaenids or worm lizards (legless lizards), small fossorial snakes, fish (particularly swamp eels), and frogs. It forages for food on the ground, and sometimes in the water, at night. It has a cylindrical body of uniform diameter and a very short tail; it is brightly banded in red and black and its reduced eyes lie beneath large head scales. It is considered to be the snake that most resembles the original and ancestral snake condition, such as a lizard-like skull.

Geographic range
It is found in the tropics of northern South America from southern and eastern Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana south through the Amazon Basin of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil. The type locality given is "Indiis".

Taxonomy
Modern classifications restrict the family to the South American pipe snake or false coral snake (Anilius scytale), with the previously included Asian genus Cylindrophis raised to a separate family, Cylindrophiidae. Anilius is not closely related to Asian pipesnakes. Instead, its closest relatives appear to be the neotropical Tropidophiidae.

Loders

Loders is a village and civil parish in the English county of Dorset. It lies 2 mi north-east of the town of Bridport. It is a linear village, sited in the valley of the small River Asker, between Waddon Hill and Boarsbarrow Hill. In the 2011 census the parish had a population of 518.

The village school was opened in 1869 on land owned by the Nepean family of Loders Court. It was originally called Lady Nepean's School.

The parish of Loders comprises three settlements. In the east is Uploders which has a public house, The Crown, and a chapel. To the west of Uploders and separated from it by a few fields is Yondover, where the village road crosses the River Asker. The village playing field and two farms are located here. West of Yondover and separated from it by the river and the disused railway line of the Bridport Railway branch line, is Lower Loders, generally known as just Loders. Lower Loders has a public house, The Loders Arms, a church, dedicated to St Mary Magdalen, a village hall, several farms, and a primary school, which celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2019.

In his book Portrait of Dorset, Ralph Wightman gave an agricultural assessment of Loders as having "more than its share of soil variations but most of them are good soils. The result is a village of fertile fields but with an amazing difference in levels."

History
In 1086 Loders is mentioned in the Domesday Book as Lodres.

During the reign of Henry I, Baldwin de Redvers founded a seat of a Benedictine priory at Loders. The monks were reputedly the first to introduce cider-making into Dorset.

Governance
Loders is in the Dorset unitary authority area. It is part of the Eggardon electoral ward, which elects one member to Dorset Council. Historically, Loders was in the Bridport Rural District from 1894 to 1974, and West Dorset district from 1974 to 2019.

For elections to the UK Parliament, Loders is part of the West Dorset constituency.

In culture
Johnny Coppin's Westcountry Christmas album includes a song called Song for Loders, which mentions many places around the area, including Eggerton, Askerswell and Muckleford, amongst others.

 * When frost lies thick on Egerton
 * And every pool begins to freeze
 * From Muckleford to Nettle Coombe
 * And hills are hung with sparkling trees
 * Then to Loders we must go
 * Before the world is drowned in snow

Carp Lake is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Emmet County in the U.S. state of Michigan. As of the 2010 census, the CDP had a population of 357. It is located within Carp Lake Township.

It was founded by Octave Terrian and later became a station on the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad in 1880.

Geography
Carp Lake is located in northeastern Emmet County, surrounding Lake Paradise, historically known as "Carp Lake". The community is in the eastern part of Carp Lake Township. U.S. Highway 31 (US 31) passes through the west side of the CDP, leading northeast 3.5 mi to Interstate 75 and 7 mi to Mackinaw City, and south 10 mi to Pellston. Petoskey, the Emmet County seat, is 28 mi south on US 31.

The community of Carp Lake was listed as a newly-organized census-designated place for the 2010 census, meaning it now has officially defined boundaries and population statistics for the first time.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the Carp Lake CDP has a total area of 12.3 sqkm, of which 5.3 sqkm is land and 7.0 sqkm, or 56.90%, is water.

Loxocemus

Loxocemus bicolor, the sole member of the monotypic family Loxocemidae and commonly known as the Mexican python, Mexican burrowing python and Mexican burrowing snake, is a species of python-like snake found in Mexico and Central America. No subspecies are currently recognized. Analyses of DNA show that Loxocemus is most closely related to the true pythons and the sunbeam snakes.

Description
Adults grow to a maximum of 1.57 m in length. On average this snake grows to roughly 91 cm. The body is stout and very muscular. The snout is shovel-shaped, with a narrow head and small eyes to facilitate burrowing. It has been observed that both male and females have various scent glands on their bodies that secrete fatty acids and alcohols to deter nuisance arthropods, such as ants or other burrowing insects. The species is described as terrestrial and semi-fossorial, which makes them hard to observe and study. The color pattern is usually dark with patches of white scales, although occasionally after shedding all pigment will disappear, resulting in a white snake with only a small dark patch on its head. Scale coloring can also vary between pinkish-brown and reddish-brown, a source of camouflage depending on the soil type of the region an individual typically inhabits.

Distribution and habitat
It is found along the Mexican Pacific versant at low to moderate elevations in the states of Nayarit, Jalisco, Colima, Michoacán, Morelos, Guerrero, Oaxaca, and Chiapas. From there, its range extends south through Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. The type locality given is "La Unión, San Salvador" (in El Salvador).

Life cycle
They are found in a variety of habitats, including tropical, moist, and dry forests. In Honduras and Guatemala, they also occur in dry inland valleys that drain into the Caribbean. Their diet is believed to consist of rodents and lizards. In addition, they prey on arthropods, such as underground insects and centipedes, as well as worms. They have also been observed eating iguana eggs, in addition to having been observed to eat sea turtle eggs and hatchlings when food is scarce. They are oviparous, laying small clutches of two to four eggs. In order to consume eggs, individuals have been observed to wrap two to three loops of its anterior trunk to pressurize and pierce an egg before swallowing the yolk whole.

Bolyeriidae

 * Common names: Mauritius snakes, Round Island boas, splitjaw snakes.

The Bolyeriidae are a family of snakes native to Mauritius and a few islands around it, especially Round Island. They also used to be found on the island of Mauritius, but were extirpated there due to human influence and foraging pigs in particular. These snakes used to be placed in the Boidae, but are now classed as a separate family. Two monotypic genera are recognized, but only a single species is extant (not extinct). Bolyeriidae appear to be most closely related to the Asian genus Xenophidion.

Geographic range
Found in Mauritius and its surrounding islets such as Serpent island, Round island, Flat island etc.

Genera
T ) Type genus.

Both of these monotypic genera once inhabited Mauritius and/or a number of islands around it. However, Bolyeria hasn't been reported since 1975 and is believed to be extinct, while Casarea is known to survive only on Round Island.

Long Bredy

Long Bredy is a village and civil parish in the county of Dorset in south-west England, situated approximately 7 mi west of the county town Dorchester. It is sited in the valley of the small River Bride, beneath chalk hills of the Dorset Downs. In the 2011 census the parish had a population of 208.

The environs of Long Bredy have some prehistoric history, including a burial chamber known as The Grey Mare and her Colts. The village itself is thought to have been established around the 9th century, and in 1086 was recorded in the Domesday Book as 'Langebride', which would have been pronounced 'Langabridda'. To the east of the village is Kingston Russell house, a 17th-century mansion.

Bottle Knap Cottage, owned by the National Trust, is a Grade II listed building. In May 2013 human skeletal remains were discovered near the cottage which dated back to approximately 800 to 600 BC, according to radiocarbon dating. Martin Papworth, an archaeologist with the National Trust, said, "The remains are of three teenage or young adults, probably crouched, are all from around the period when the first iron was being used in this country. No other burials in Dorset have been identified from this time."

Notable people

 * George Richards (died 1746) Member of Parliament for Bridport was born in Long Bredy.

Uropeltidae

The Uropeltidae, also commonly known as shield-tail snakes, shield-tailed snakes or earth snakes, are a family of primitive, nonvenomous, burrowing snakes native to Peninsular India and Sri Lanka. The name is derived from the Greek words ura ('tail') and pelte ('shield'), indicating the presence of the large keratinous shield at the tip of the tail. Seven or eight genera are recognized, depending on whether Teretrurus rhodogaster is treated in its own genus or as part of Brachyophidium. The family comprises over 50 species. These snakes are not well known in terms of their diversity, biology, and natural history.

Description
Snakes in the family Uropeltidae are small snakes, with adults growing to a total length (including tail) of 20 –. They are adapted to a fossorial way of life, which is apparent in their anatomy. The skull is primitive and inflexible, with a short, vertical quadrate bone and rigid jaws; the coronoid bone is still present in the lower jaw. The orbital bones are absent, the supratemporal is vestigial, and the eyes are small and degenerate, not covered by a brille, but by large polygonal shields. However, the pelvis and hind limbs, the presence of which is also considered a primitive trait, have disappeared in this family.

The tail is characteristic, ending in either an enlarged rigid scale with two points, or more often an upper surface with a subcircular area covered with thickened spiny scales, or a much enlarged spiny plate. The ventral scales are much reduced in size. The body is cylindrical and covered with smooth scales.

Behaviour and natural history
Many species of shield-tail snakes are rather poorly known in terms of natural history. Field studies indicate that most species are obligate burrowers and may often come out on to soil surface during rainy nights. Even roadkills of these snakes have been recorded by field biologists during peak monsoon rains. They seem to prefer the humus-rich topsoil layers and rarely burrow deeper inside (like during very hot or dry weather).

When approached by predators, these snakes do not bite like most snakes, but coil their bodies into a ball and hide their heads tucked underneath. Some may poke with their harmless tail tip, like a worm snake. Many have a drab and dull-coloured back, but a very bright, contrastingly coloured underside (such as bright yellow, red, etc.) to startle predators by turning upside down and twitching. This aposematic colouration wards off would-be predators.

Geographic range
Shield-tail snakes are found in Peninsular India and Sri Lanka. In India, their distribution is mainly along the hills of the Western Ghats, and a few species occur in other areas such as the Eastern Ghats and the hills of Central India. In Sri Lanka, they occur in many biotopes including dry zone and the plains.

Evolutionary significance
Because of their peculiar geographic distribution, with many hill ranges in South India and Sri Lanka each having an endemic shield-tail snake, they are thought to be analogous to Darwin's finches, in a broader sense – an evolutionary radiation. This is the only family of snakes endemic to South Asia. Genetic studies on this group have brought forth largely similar results as regards common ancestry and phenotypic diversification patterns. Molecular dating analysis has suggested that uropeltids originated around the Paleocene-Eocene boundary, splitting from its sister clade Cylindrophiidae + Anomochilidae around 56 MYA.

Feeding
The diets of shield-tail snakes consist mostly of invertebrates, particularly earthworms, and many species have actually been observed in the wild by researchers to eat earthworms. Frank Wall, who dissected many species for analysing the gut contents to study the diet, remarks about the presence of worms and mud.

Reproduction
All members of the family Uropeltidae retain eggs that hatch within the body of the mother (ovoviviparity).

Genera
T Type genus.

Xenopeltis

Xenopeltis, the sunbeam snakes, are the sole genus of the monotypic family Xenopeltidae, the species of which are found in Southeast Asia. Sunbeam snakes are known for their highly iridescent scales. Three species are recognized, each one with no subspecies. Studies of DNA suggest that the xenopeltids are most closely related to the Mexican burrowing python (Loxocemus bicolor) and to the true pythons (Pythonidae).

Description
Adults can grow up to 1.3 m in length. The head scales are made up of large plates much like those of the Colubridae, while the ventral scales are only slightly reduced. Pelvic vestiges are not present.

The dorsal color pattern is a reddish-brown, brown, or blackish color. The belly is an unpatterned whitish-gray. The scales are highly iridescent.

Geographic range
They are found in Southeast Asia from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, east through Myanmar to southern China, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, the Malay Peninsula and the East Indies to Sulawesi, as well as the Philippines.

Behavior and diet
These snakes are fossorial, spending much of their time hidden. They emerge at dusk to actively forage for frogs, other snakes, and small mammals. They are not venomous, and kill their prey with constriction.

Species
T ) Type species.

Captivity
These snakes are not very commonly kept as pets because of their high mortality rate in captivity. Shipping and the first six months in captivity are very stressful and often kill captive snakes. They also have very little tolerance of handling, with the resulting stress leading to premature death. Captive specimens should be provided with a temperature gradient and an easy to burrow substrate. The cage should be kept warm, but not hot, and they should be left alone.

Long Crichel

Long Crichel is a small village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Crichel, in east Dorset, England, situated on Cranborne Chase five miles northeast of Blandford Forum. In 2001 it had a population of 81. The civil parish was abolished on 1 April 2015 and merged with Moor Crichel to form Crichel.

Crichel Estate
Long Crichel village and surrounding lands were once part of the Crichel Estate for many centuries, before it was broken up. The estate's owners lived at Crichel House in Moor Crichel.

St Mary's Church
The village church is St Mary's Church, Long Crichel. The tower of the church dates from the 15th century, and the rest of the church was rebuilt in 1851. It closed in 2001, was declared redundant on 1 July 2003, and was vested in the Friends of Friendless Churches in 2010. The Friends restored the Grade II listed church's medieval tower and east stained glass window. Christian services can still take place in the church and burials are still allowed in the churchyard, which is now the responsibility of the neighbouring Witchampton church council.

Long Crichel House
Long Crichel House, the Grade II listed Georgian rectory, was bought jointly in 1945 by Edward Sackville-West, the music critic Desmond Shawe-Taylor and artist and art dealer Eardley Knollys, who along with architectural historian James Lees-Milne, literary critic Raymond Mortimer and the gay activist and eye surgeon Patrick Trevor-Roper, established "one of the last great post-war salons, hosting guests including Sibyl Colefax, Anthony Asquith, Graham Sutherland, Lord Berners, Nancy Mitford, Benjamin Britten, Laurie Lee, Ben Nicolson, Cecil Day-Lewis and Graham Greene." Somerset Maugham and E.M. Forster were also visitors.

Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant stayed at the house; Bell did a number of paintings of it and made painted plates for it, while Grant designed the dining room curtains. Sackville-West died in 1965 and Knollys and his friend Mattei Radev bought another country home in Hampshire in 1967. Shawe-Taylor remained at Long Crichel House until he died there, aged 88, on 1 November 1995, following a country walk.

User talk:Get-back-world-respect/Why I do not want to become an admin and how this ended in a discussion about Bush's crimes again

Adminship
GBWR, I would like to propose you for a sysop position. Obviously we are diametrically opposed on some issues, but you are intelligent and articulate and a plus to Wikipedia. I understand you might not want to expose yourself to this process, but many editors of diverse views have bceome admins and can't so why you shouldn't, so please let me know what you think. -- Cecropia | explains it all ® 17:55, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I already spend too much time here, and I do not see the benefit of being an administrator other than protecting articles form edit wars, and the only edit wars I have seen were about articles where I would hesitate to act because others might accuse me of a lack of neutrality.
 * Plus, as you know I stand to my convictions on many controversial cases. I see that as fully legitimate and very important in order to achieve an encyclopedia that does not underrepresent certain viewpoints, and I try not to allow my views to make me edit articles in a way that is not neutral. I however think that many people do not want administrators who openly say that the government of the United States, Great Britain, Australia, and Poland should be tried for waging a war of aggression in Iraq or that the bombings of Dresden, Berlin, Hamburg, Tokyo, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki were as much a war crime as those of Coventry and London. I already had the experience of people freaking about, in the German version some even called me a Nazi although people like you see me as a nasty "liberal". I openly said that I see a couple of users as a severe threat to wikipedia, and I outraged the pedophile activists here. Although I deem my initiative there as particularly important and guess it would be appreciated by the average user, the average user does not know about such conflicts. The average user will see that I edited a lot in controversial articles and think that this does not make me the ideal administrator. The singer and writer articles I started do not figure prominently in my contribution list as a "lack" of conflicts makes few editing necessary.
 * The risk to get too much opposition should not make me refrain from trying if I regarded it as important. But what would be the benefit of my adminship for me or wikipedia? Get-back-world-respect 19:14, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * The benefit to Wikipedia, IMO, is in appointing skillful editors to positions of trust. It raises the quality of the admin pool and the Wiki to bind good people closer to the project, regardless of politics, as when Eloquence, to cite one example, supported my admin bid. If I thought that you would abuse the position itself (block users you don't like, inappropriately protect pages) I wouldn't have suggested you think about adminship. Let's say I trust your integrity if I don't agree with your politics. You are right that you shouldn't protect pages you are involved in, but you can appeal to other admins, setting out your reasoning, and they can appeal to you.

 * As a point, no, I don't think you are a "nasty 'liberal'" and I believe you are mistaken in your assessment of me as a "U.S. Conservative." It's much more complicated than that. If I had to label you from what little I know, I would guess you were a "Eurocentric intellectual." I don't mean that as a curse, but that your perspective is honest, but as skewed by your own background and expectations and beliefs as mine might be based on my life experience and nationality. -- Cecropia | explains it all ® 20:28, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * I am glad that you are conservative enough to join my efforts not to allow the pedophilia related articles to become a shame to this project. What fills me with deep sorrow is that you and half of your country's population support wars of aggression and war crimes. I am proud that in Germany it would be impossible to boast with breaking the law by claiming "Our government will not allow our country's destiny to be decided over in foreign capitals." Millions of people all over the world warned you that it was premature to wage a war for weapons of mass destruction. Dozens of governments warned you of the consequences of hatred towards the US in the Muslim world. You ignored both and reaped unprecedented terror.
 * I speak your language, I consume your media, I have lived on your continent for a year - where I admired the Canadian way of dealing with cultural diversity, something Europeans can learn from a lot. The average European knows English, has heard of some of your media, and many many visit your country. I would appreciate if more citizens of your country showed those signs of interest and respect as well. Get-back-world-respect 21:05, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * As a said, a Eurocentric intellectual. Given three wars in the 20th century, there may be a reason Germany saying they will not be dictated to by a foreign power has a special resonance in world politics. As to Canada: wonderful people, wonderful country. I've traveled to quite a few locations east to the Maritimes, the wild country west of Vancouver, even up to Cochrane and (lordy!) Moosonee. It is a place I could happily live if I have a source of income (I don't mind cold). But you need to know that Canadians have a special situation that other countries do not have. They are next to a large powerful nation from whom they have no fear of attack but who they know would be bound to defend them if they were attached. As Richard Clarke noted, the NYC police department is larger than the Canadian army. -- Cecropia | explains it all ® 21:26, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * What do you count to get three wars in the 20th century?
 * Your government and your media mislead your people and the rest of the world about weapons of mass destruction the administration "knew" to be in Iraq, as well as about Iraq having played a role in the 9/11 attacks - something known to be untrue, polls however showed the majority of the US population was made to believe it. International law was broken, prisoners abused, an unprecedented amount of terrorism caused, and then your government boasts with not caring for what other governments think? This has a resonance of disgust in the rest of the world, and I see no way to get back the respect at any time soon. This seriously harmed the reputation of the whole western world and caused militants to get support they never could have dreamed of.
 * I am aware of the condescending view many US citizens have towards Canada, you do not have to remind me. Get-back-world-respect 21:42, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * World War I, World War II, and the Yugoslav war of partition. No sooner did Germany reunite than in backed its former World War II allies in Croatia in breaking up a sovereign nation. This was a European-initiated war that the U.S. got suckered into (again), though Bill Clinton was a very willing sucker. If you can see an American perspective at all, look at the Yugoslav War's justifications in comparison to Iraq. What "imminent threat" was Dictator Milosevic to the U.S.? Where were Milosevic's WMD? Where was Milosevic's support for Al Queda, or his involvement in the bombing of the World Trade Center, or his support for international terrorism? Where was the UN support for that war? Russia was against it (as they were Iraq) but in that case, Russia (and its veto on the Security Council) didn't count. But France and Germany like it fine. So I guess it was OK. And the U.S. bombed the hell out of the Serbs and destroyed much of Belgrade's infrastructure and the peace-loving Europeans loved it. Yes indeed, a great victory for international order and stability. -- Cecropia | explains it all ® 22:02, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Regarding the Iraq war, I agree with both of you. The Iraq war is unfortunate, a shame to America. Of course we will not allow any of us to be charged with war crimes, that is ridiculous. Not in Dresden, not in Vietnam, certainly not in our war on Terror. We are too powerful. But the war with Serbia was also unfortunate. Europe should have fought that war, it did not need us. But you asked, and we came. In Iraq we ask, and you do not come. Where is N.A.T.O. in Iraq? But that’s not why I am commenting here. I wanted to comment on Cecropia's idea of nomination.

 * I have to say; I am amazed that you would suggest GBWR for admin. I think he is only somewhat more likely to win than I was. He has taken strong stances on so many subjects, and annoyed enough people that the "Oppose" votes would simply be too big. I am not certain if I could vote for him, my concern being his grasp of English when it comes to complexities. When I have attempted to discuss with him at length, there were many subtle misunderstandings. Not so rarely, I would say one thing, and he would assume I had said the opposite. IMO this in addition to his strong stances, makes him unsuitable at this time. That said, he is clearly an involved member, and I have no doubt that this is a perfect environment to hone foreign language skills. I myself am actively attempting to learn Deutch, and am considering joining the German wiki. But I am aware of how easily I might be misunderstood there, or to misunderstand others, due to translation issues. For that reason, while I would like to vote for GBWR, I would feel more comfortable voting for him in the future.

 * Sam [Spade] 22:55, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Why do you count the Yugoslav war but not the liberation of Kuwait?
 * I have to admit that I do not know nearly as much about the Yugoslav war as I know about Iraq - I was rather young when it happened, and it did not raise as much opposition in my generation as had the first involvement in Iraq. We had many refugees here, and although no one was happy with what was done, people knew from direct experience that something had to be done.
 * What I do know is that horrible thinks happened in Yugoslavia, and when ethnical cleansings happen, action is necessary. One reason why Germany did not act sooner was exactly the German history that made many people feel uncomfortable with intervening in a way that was dangerous to raise the exact propaganda you are spreading Jim, that Germans fought against those they had a history of fighting with. One question, does it not feel strange to you to make that accusation although the US fought on the same side?
 * The sovereign nation was not broken up by the NATO intervention but was in a war of separation already. Slovenia had already left Yugoslavia when the NATO intervention started. The reason why NATO entered were ethnical cleansings, something that cannot be ignored and that is a legal reason to intervene. The Russian opposition was a serious problem, and there are people who regard the war as illegal because of this. As far as I know, unlike the recent Iraq war, the NATO intervention in Yugoslavia was backed by a Security Council resolution afterwards, but I agree with those who say that a court should decide about this. Question here, breaking international is a crime in US law as well, were there courts deciding about this? In Germany, there were immediately complaints at the Supreme Court when the Bundestag had decided to allow the intervention in Iraq. Furthermore, I think that the permanent membership of the WWII allies at the Security Council is anachronistic and lacks any legitimacy, particularly as the permanent members of the Security Council have five of the biggest arsenals of weapons of mass destruction in the world, and weapons inspections do not occur as they should. Hopefully, Kofi Annan will be able to reform this.
 * Unlike the alleged weapons of mass destruction in and the "direct threat" exposed by Iraq, the ethnical cleansings in Yugoslavia were confirmed. However, the proofs our then Secretary of "Defense", Rudolf Scharping, presented us dubious US information about "concentration camps", and this as well as the war crime of bombing civilians and the Chinese embassy are some of the reasons why Scharping who had once been candidate for chancellor later had to resign.
 * The massacre at Srebrenica was a horrible event NATO forces were not able to prevent. But while the whole Dutch cabinet resigned when the report confirmed the complete failure, the US administration would not even think of resigning after the events at Abu Ghraib, after it was lectured by its Supreme Court about the basic human right for a fair trial, after it had to admit it had mislead its people about weapons of mass destruction and a connection between Iraq and 9/11.
 * Shame on you.

 * Sam, war crimes are not ridiculous but crimes, and those guilty need to be punished.
 * NATO is not in Iraq because some members of it deem the war illegal and are unwilling to tidy up what your country messed up.
 * There was one case where I incorrectly accused you of racism not due to language problems but due to an error of thought. Our conflicts certainly were not influenced by a lack of my language skills but by strongly differing values and a mutual impression that the other was not able to express himself or think logically. As English is my second language I lack some vocabulary and occasionally make some grammar mistakes. I however do use dictionaries when I do not feel sure about words, and I do not remember a single case where I misunderstood anything because of language problems. My writing for sure is not perfect, but that can easily be corrected in the articles. And while my style for sure is not brilliant, it is exactly the complexities that I feel I dominate better than many others here. So often do people try here to use subtle differences in wordings in order to twist articles, so often talk pages are dominated by people who lack logical thinking or refuse to debate in an honest way. I regard it as rather helpful to have people who know different languages as every language has its own advantages. In German for example we have the possibility to express highly complicated issues by constructing long sentences with several clauses. Germans can understand such sentences because they are used to them. English natives often find them hard to follow. On the other hand, many Germans lack the skill to express complicated issues with simple sentences as most often used in English.
 * I stopped this discussion at my user page and moved it here as adminship is no option for me anyways and I prefer my talk page to be dominated by the learning project.
 * Thanks for the suggestion, Jim. Get-back-world-respect 13:24, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * I want to be very clear that I did not mean any insult with the mention about language difficulties, and I strongly agree that those with divergent language backgrounds are some of the very best contributors to the project. As far as our disagreements, I agree they were based predominately on confusion. Let me point out some current confusion:

 * I am not personally to blame the Iraq war, or any other war. Nor are you I assume.

 * I think NATO requires France, Turkey and Germany to help in Iraq, and feel all three nations (particularly France) have violated the NATO treaty.

 * I never said the USA hasn't commited war crimes, only that we will not allow ourselves to be prosecuted. We are simply too powerful.

 * Sam [Spade] 16:24, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * I personally blame every single member of the Bush, Blair, Miller, and Howard administrations for the Iraq war, and I think they should be held accountable for waging a war of aggression by an independent international court, just as Milosevic or the Nazi leaders. I furthermore regard it as utterly immoral to vote for such people. I can agree to differ on many issues, not on such serious crimes that harm our planet so severely.
 * As far as I know the NATO treaty says countries must help each other when they are attacked or threatened. As we all know, there was no threat from Iraq, and even if it was written in the NATO treaty that members have to join each others wars of aggression and other crimes, international law would make it non-binding.
 * You do not allow yourselfs to be prosecuted, however the Iraq war helped to make other nations see that it was a bad idea to exempt your citizens from treatment by the ICC and this practice has ended. Plus, when people feel desperate because they think there is a lack of justice and they cannot do anything about it legally, they tend to become radical. Americans die every other day in Iraq, and I hate to say that I believe more attacks are going to happen. I wholeheartedly condemn terrorism, but I think we have to take it by the roots, and what your government does is provoke more. Get-back-world-respect 01:00, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Vingulmark

Vingulmark (Old Norse Vingulmǫrk) is the old name for the area in Norway which today makes up the counties of Østfold, western parts of Akershus (excluding Romerike), and eastern parts of Buskerud (Hurum and Røyken municipalities), and includes the site of Norway's capital, Oslo. During the Middle Ages, Vingulmark was an administrative unit limited to Oslo, Bærum and Asker.

Etymology
The Old Norse form of the name was Vingulmǫrk. The first part of the name, Vingul, is the accusative case of Vingull, "fescue", or "fool". The last element of the name, mark or plural mǫrk, "forest" or "March", i.e. the forest of fescues/fools. The Lexicon Poeticon and Völsa Þattr tells that 'vingull' is the name for a stallions genitalia

History
According to medieval kings' sagas, it was a Viking Age petty kingdom. Vingulmark was one of the four counties under the Court of Law, which together constituted the ancient landscape of Viken. Archaeologists have made finds of richly endowed burials in the area around the estuary of the river Glomma, at Onsøy, Rolvsøy and Tune, where the remains of a ship, the Tune ship, were found. This indicates that there was an important center of power in this area.

There are indications that at least the southern part of this area was under Danish rule in the late 9th century. In the account of Ottar, which was written down at the court of the English king Alfred the Great, Ottar says that when he sailed south from Skiringssal, he had Denmark on the port side for three days. This would include parts of Vingulmark.

Snorri Sturluson writes in Heimskringla and Fagrskinna, that King Harald Fairhair inherited part of Vingulmark from his father Halfdan the Black. King Harald defeated King Gandalf, who had previously held half of Vingulmark. Snorri Sturluson relates in Heimskringla that the area was also claimed by the Swedish King Erik Emundsson. The Norwegians invaded Götaland to defend their claim.

Legendary rulers
The sagas name several more or less legendary kings as rulers of Vingulmark:
 * Gudrød the Hunter, half of Vingulmark
 * Alfgeir (Old Norse: Álfgeir)
 * Gandalf Alfgeirsson
 * Halfdan the Black
 * Olaf Haraldsson
 * Tryggve Olafsson
 * Harald Gudrødsson Grenske, 976-987

Lydlinch

Lydlinch is a village and civil parish in the Blackmore Vale in north Dorset, England, about 3 mi west of Sturminster Newton. The village is sited on Oxford clay close to the small River Lydden. The parish – which includes the village of King's Stag to the south and the hamlet of Stock Gaylard to the west – is bounded by the Lydden to the east and its tributary, the Caundle Brook, to the north.

The 2011 census recorded the parish as having 199 dwellings, 192 households and a population of 437.

At King's Stag is the King's Stag Memorial Chapel which was built in 1914 at the expense of the Right Rev. Huyshe Yeatman-Biggs, the Bishop of Worcester, in memory of his wife, Lady Barbara Yeatman-Biggs, who died in 1909.

Parish church
The Church of England parish church of St Thomas Becket has a 12th-century baptismal font, but the rest of the building is Perpendicular Gothic. The nave, chancel and west tower are 15th century. The north aisle and south porch were added in the 16th century. In the 19th century the north aisle was rebuilt and the north vestry added and the building was twice restored, the second time in 1875. The church is a Grade II* listed building.

The tower has a ring of five bells. The 19th-century Dorset dialect poet William Barnes (1801–86), who was born just outside the parish in nearby Bagber, wrote of them "Vor Lydlinch bells be good vor sound, And liked by all the neighbours round". Thomas Purdue of Closworth, Somerset cast the second, fourth and tenor bells in 1681. Mears & Stainbank of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry recast the treble and third bells in 1908.

The parish is part of the Benefice of Sturminster Newton, Hinton St Mary and Lydlinch.
