Dynamo Open Air

Dynamo Open Air is a festival in the Netherlands held (almost) every year between 1986 and 2005. It was reborn in 2008 as Dynamo Outdoor and in 2015 as Dynamo Metal Fest.

History
Originally held to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the Dynamo rock club in Eindhoven, it grew from 5,000 people in the Dynamo parking lot up to 118,000 attendees in 1995. Until this day, the 1995 edition still is the largest multi-day open air festival ever held in the Netherlands. This caused too much pressure on the Dutch infrastructure and the festival had to shrink to a maximum of 60,000 visitors for 1996. From there it went downhill, mostly because the festival could not find a permanent venue. In 1999 Dynamo Open Air was held on a former rubbish dump in Mierlo, and the following year it went to the Goffertpark in Nijmegen. That was the first time DOA was held outside the province of North Brabant, and it was the first time in years that the festival had to shrink down to only one day. The previous years it had always been a two- or three-day festival.

In 2001, the organisation thought they had found a site where the festival could return on a yearly basis, near the town of Lichtenvoorde. However, the threat of foot-and-mouth disease caused trouble, and Dynamo Open Air had to be cancelled. In 2002 it returned, at the site of the Bospop festival, but 2003 was another year without a Dynamo festival, because it would violate a recently passed law about animal protection during breeding season. For 2004, the festival returned to Nijmegen, at the same location where it took place in 2000. In 2005, the festival used the site of the Dauwpop festival, and the reunited Anthrax headlined the stage.

In an attempt to revitalise the festival, the current organization of the Dynamo youth center decided to change the festival's name from Dynamo Open Air to Dynamo Outdoor. In 2008, the first Dynamo Outdoor festival was held in the centre of Eindhoven, with bands such as Mad Sin, Anathema and Born From Pain performing. The festival was once again held in Eindhoven in the following year, with Destine, Stahlzeit, Asphyx, Textures, The Butcher and Municipal Waste on the bill. The revival of the festival occurred with a new name as Dynamo Metal Fest, which has taken place every year since 2015. The festival had taken place traditionally on the second or third Saturday in July from 2015 to 2018; for the 2019 edition, it was converted into a two-day festival. After the 2020 edition was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dynamo Metal Fest was scheduled to return in August 2021, however again cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Dynamo Metal Fest was again held in August 2022.

Live recordings
In 1995, Nailbomb had their performance recorded at the festival and it was released as Proud to Commit Commercial Suicide the same year it was recorded. It was released by Roadrunner Records In 2005, live footage of the performance was released on DVD and it was called Live at Dynamo. It was also released by Roadrunner Records. In May 1998, guest band Death recorded stock footage of their performance. Three years later, in an effort to raise money to pay for Chuck Schuldiner's cancer treatment, the footage was limitedly released in October 2001 by Nuclear Blast on CD and DVD formats under the name Live In Eindhoven, two months before Schuldiner's ultimate demise.

Talk:Key (lock)

greater than a stub
This article looks greater than a stub. Any comments about a proposed page move at Talk:Key?? It says that this article is currently a stub and is thus out-of-date. 66.245.69.118 22:36, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Skeleton key
That part about skeleton keys isn't right. A key with a shank and a bit like the one illustrated is a "bit key", or a "bitted key". A bit key may or may not be a skeleton key, and a skeleton key may or may not be a bit key.

A skeleton key is a key made for a series of warded locks, which has no material that could be blocked from turning by any pattern of wards found in the lock series, and hence will work in any of them. Its not possible to make a skeleton key for all types of bit-keyed lock. For example: in double-acting lever locks.

The use of the term "skeleton key" to mean "bit key" is a colloquialism, and US-centric.

I suppose I could change the article myself, but I'm not in the mood. Sorry!

I am fairly new here, but I can tell you that the article has more than that wrong. Barrel keys are simply bit keys (or skeleton keys) which accept a post into the end of the key as to keep it aligned, handcuff keys are barrel keys for example. The article says that tubular keys and barrel keys are synonomous. Every locksmith I have ever conversed with will agree that "barrel key" has no relation to a tubular key. as for the bic pen "problem" that is only a problem with certain model kryptonite locks (for bicycles) most tubular key locks (aka Ace locks) have "mushroom pins" which makes it somewhat difficult to pick. Even if one did pick a tubular lock with normal configuration, on a decent lock you would have to pick it 7 times to get each face/back pin to slide past eatch other unless you had a tubular lockpick in which case once locked into place will act as a key of sorts, depressing all the pins to the correct levels the whole way around.

I (parautoptic) would take issue with the basic description of the key at the head of the article.... Although I have heard the working part of the key called the "blade" or even the "flag" It is almost universally known as the "Bit" and the variations known as "bitting". should we therefore change the description? As this is a consensus based show I have not changed the page but invite comments.... perhaps if no-one has any objections I will change it? There are a few other things that do not sound right either, but I shall do a bit of research before I say anything about them :-) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Parautoptic (talk • contribs) 15:35, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Master key
Should we include information about how many master key solutions have a vulnerability such that it is possible to take a 'user' key and file it down such that it becomes a master key, even if just to say that many implimentations of master key systems are insecure in this way? Troublekit 07:42, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

Well, logically any master key that has 3 pins on any one tooth has an effective "degree of freedom" on that tooth, and so there are 2^n different keys that will fit a master key system that has n sets of 3 pins on any one tooth. The best way to explain that needs some forethought... 70.24.1.179 14:35, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

I think this page on keys is getting way too long and complicated. It tries to talk about too many different ideas and it's all over the place. Master keying should have its own page again. Yes we need to keep the line about the fact that there exists a practical attack, and also discuss other ways master keying reduces the security of the locks while increasing convenience. Entire books have been written on the subject of master keying. I don't see why Wikipedia only has one paragraph. Sbunny8 (talk) 20:10, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Ford master key
ford does not produce "master key" sets to my knowledge, there are 3 main sets of "tryout keys" ( 5 cut ignition, and doors, 8 cut door tryout (2 cuts within the ignition must be "progressioned" or tried out in sequence) and 10 cut which is seldom used anymore, 10 cuts have tryout sets, you take a set of keys and find one that works in the door which uses 6 of the 10 cuts, then you try using a diffrent set depending on the last 2 cuts of the first 6 cut door tryout keys. It is not a simple endeavour (even with tryouts that only work on worn locks you can expect to have a set of 256 or more keys) and most mechanics simply drill out the entire cylinder and replace.

Bump key
I saw a video about "bump" keys (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Uv45y6vkcQ&feature=PlayList&p=9F680F6B4EC75B0E&index=9). Is it worth mentioning in this article?

The video is moved from the site "due to terms of violation". G®iffen 17:31, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

You can see similar videos by doing a search for "bump key": http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=bump+key&search=Search

Magnetic Key
I came across a patent recently for a key that opens the pins in the lock with an array of internal magnets. When the key is not inside the lock, the magnetic pins return to their 'closed' positions. I can't find any such keys commercially available; if they exist, are they worth mentioning in this article?

I am aware of magnetic keys/locks, though the only one I have ever found available to buy is Avocet ABS keys, which have a magnet on each key to operate a pin http://www.abs-secure.co.uk - Willh26 (talk) 15:19, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Mercedes Car key.
Mercedes automobiles have differently designed car keys. It would help this article if someone foundf a pic of one. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sam729 (talk • contribs) 23:36, 13 April 2007 (UTC).

Merge from Key management (access controll)
I'm completing the merge proposal [not my own]. Please put comments below. Shadowjams (talk) 20:21, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

article organization
There are (at least) two ways to categorize keys:
 * the physical type of key: single-sided Yale key, four-sided key, barrel key, tubular key, radio transponder key, infrared key, magnetic stripe key card, etc.
 * Applications of keys: house keys, car keys, hotel key, bike-lock key, padlock keys, etc.

In theory, any physical kind of key can be used in any application, although in practice certain combinations are extremely common and other combinations are practically never seen.

--68.0.124.33 (talk) 21:40, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Should the headings in this article be organized by the physical type of key (and then in the description for that type of key, mention the most popular application(s) for that physical type)? Or,
 * Should the headings in this article be organized by application (and then in the description for that application, mention the most popular physical type(s) of key for that application)? Or,
 * Should this article have both -- headings for every application, and then later headings for every physical type of key?

I find the article of great practical importance in as much as MANY or even MOST so-called experts don't know about all these types of locks/keys. However, it cries out of pictures of each kind of key/lock discussed. Moreover, what I would ALSO like is a chart with a rough summary of 1. overall security, 2. difficulty of copying(which would include prevalence of people/equipment that can copy. Thanks to all for working to improve this.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.50.111.10 (talk) 06:26, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Perhaps the page should be organised below the key types section into smaller sections: Any thoughts on this? Willh26 (talk) 15:42, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Car keys - transponders, etc.
 * Standard Keys - pin tumbler, tubular, wafer, lever etc.
 * Commercial Keys - key cards, master keys, change keys, do not duplicate, keyed alike maybe?
 * Other - cruciform/cross keys, magnetic keys and other more rare keys such as paracentric

Navbox help

 * The newly-created Locksmithing needs some help. There are a lot of gaps in the article content of Wikipedia on locks and keys. In addition, many of the articles can be merged (and some split) to make the subject matter more clear. Have a look. StevePrutz (talk) 22:07, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

"Switchblade" key/TSA confication incident
I'm going to remove this passage for the following reasons... while it may have happened once and is properly referenced with reliable source, it was probably an extremely rare incident and thus not "notable". Moreover that news piece is from 2005, and these type of keys were new then and are no longer such an oddity it should ever be expected to happen to anyone now. Batvette (talk) 06:29, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Key duplication
On some TV shows, a person makes an impression of a key, on something like molding clay, and somehow makes a key from the impression of one side of the key. How is this done? I can't find any mention of this in the article. Liz Read! Talk! 03:42, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Ejector seats
The "Those Tough To Pick Door Locks, September 1969" link contains a google search query for "Gyrocopter ejection seat" I changed it to be a bit more on-topic.

 * Makes sense to me. Thanks. ("Gyrocopter ejection seat" how odd...) Grayfell (talk) 02:17, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

"Master key" vs "keyed alike"
Currently the article defines a master key as "A master key operates a set of several locks" and proceeds to say "master-keyed locks are configured to operate with two, or more, different keys". I think that should say "master-keyed locks are configured to operate with one or more different keys". As it stands, the article only mentions keyed alike locks (a set of locks all operated just one key) in the lead and then never addresses them again. Keyed alike locks do not require more than one key to open them ("change keys" according to the article's terminology). I am not very familiar with the lingo of the padlock world. If the term master key really does imply that change keys also exist, please let me know so we can improve the article. Jason Quinn (talk) 12:29, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

Key systems
I have separated master keys and control keys out into a section called "Key Systems" along with new text for: keyed alike, keyed differently and maison key... as there are no sections on wikipedia relating to key systems! Only master keying is mentioned. I am proposing to have Maison key system merged with this page. Willh26 (talk) 21:24, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Merge proposal
I have proposed that Maison key system be merged as it is too short and belongs in the section on key systems. Willh26 (talk) 21:24, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Problem in "History"
In the first subsection of "History" we find this:

 * The earliest known lock and key device was discovered in the ruins of Nineveh, the capital of ancient Assyria. Locks such as this were later developed into the Egyptian wooden pin lock, which consisted of a bolt, door fixture, and key. When the key was inserted, pins within the fixture were lifted out drilled holes within the bolt, allowing it to move. When the key was removed, the pins fell part-way into the bolt, preventing movement.

 * The warded lock was also present from antiquity and remains the most recognizable lock and key design in the Western world.

In the first paragraph, the expression such as this makes no sense because the Nineveh lock is never described. In the first sentence of the second paragraph, a new expression, warded lock, is introduced and never explained, and the phrase also present from antiquity is not only grammatically incorrect, but does not tell us just how old it is relative to the Nineveh lock.

These infelicities need correction. Wordwright (talk) 22:17, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

Where was the earliest lock and key found?
In "The Ancient Near East and Mediterranean" we find this claim:

 * The earliest known lock and key device was discovered in the ruins of Nineveh, the capital of ancient Assyria.

The source for this claim is N. Cross de Vries and D. P. Grant, M. J. Design Methodology and Relationships with Science: Introduction. Eindhoven: Kluwer Academic Publishers. In the "History" section of "Pin tumbler lock" we find this one:

 * The first tumbler lock was found in the ruins of the Palace of Khorsabad in Iraq.

The source for this claim is Peter James and I. J. Thorpe, Ancient Inventions. New York: Ballantine, 1994. Since the title of this book indicates that the key is a featured topic, whereas the relation of keys to design methodology is opaque, I am inclined to think that James and Thorpe, by virtue of being centrally concerned with the key, have the better claim to credibility because the knowledge of the invention of the key is in their area of expertise.

In Bill Philips, The Complete Book of Locks and Locksmithing, McGraw Hill Professional 2005, we find this statement:

 * The oldest known lock was found in 1842 in the ruins of Emperor Sargon II’s palace in Khorsabad, Persia.

Again, Philips' area of expertise is keys and locks, so although he can of course be wrong, it is more reasonable to credit authors who have a presumptive claim to expertise than authors who do not, so it seems that the most precise statement is that the oldest known lock was found in Khorsabad. Since, however, we all know, as the example of "Persia" and "Iraq" shows, that the same places can have different names at different times in history, the next questions are, "What is the relation between Khorsabad and Nineveh?" and "What is the relation between Assyria and Iraq?"

In the article on Khorsabad we find this:

 * Dur-Sharrukin ("Fortress of Sargon"; Arabic: دور شروكين), present day Khorsabad, was the Assyrian capital in the time of Sargon II of Assyria. Khorsabad is a village in northern Iraq, 15 km northeast of Mosul. The great city was entirely built in the decade preceding 706 BC. After the unexpected death of Sargon in battle, the capital was shifted 20 km south to Nineveh.

So it seems that the correct formulation of the information must be this:

 * The earliest known lock was found in 1842 in the ruins of Emperor Sargon II’s palace in what was then the capital city of 8th-century B.C. Assyria, Dur-Sharrukin (now present-day Khorsabad in Iraq).

I will replace the first statement I quoted with this one. Wordwright (talk) 23:17, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

Ill Niño

Ill Niño (Spanish for "ill child"; stylized as ill niño) is an American nu metal band formed in Union City, New Jersey, in 1998 by drummer and percussionist Dave Chavarri, who is the sole original member of the band. They have released seven studio albums, two EPs and one compilation album, totaling in over 1.3 million worldwide album sales.

Early career
Ill Niño was formed as El Niño by former Pro-Pain drummer David "Dave" Chavarri in May 1998. He enlisted Merauder vocalist Jorge Rosado, guitarist Daniel Gomez and bassist Christian Machado and took on the position of drummer and percussionist himself. With this line-up, the band released a self-titled EP. Gomez left the band soon after the EP's release, with a variety of guitarists filling in his spot. Among them were future fulltime member Marc Rizzo, Scott Roberts of Biohazard and Derek Sykes of Demolition Hammer. Sykes also appears on the compilation album Métalo, released by Grita! Records in June 1999. By this time, the band had already renamed to Ill Niño. When Chavarri took over Roy Mayorga's duties in Soulfly on the Bring Da Shit Tour in July 1999, Ill Niño was briefly put on hold. After he returned from tour, Chavarri decided to reform the band with a revamped lineup: Machado switched from bass to lead vocals and the two were joined by guitarists Marc Rizzo and Jardel Paisante, bassist Lazaro Pina and Roger Vasquez on additional percussions. They received exposure via the New Jersey metal college radio station WSOU, played the World Series of Metal festival in Ohio and, in the following year, opened for bands like Kittie, Soulfly and Snapcase. They also released a self-titled EP and were signed by Roadrunner Records in June 2000. With financial support secured, the recording for their debut album commenced in November 2000.

Mainstream success
On September 18, 2001, Ill Niño released their debut album, Revolution Revolución. The album peaked at No. 28 in the Billboard 200 and went on to sell over 350,000 albums worldwide in the first two years after release. In early 2003, just before Ill Niño was set to record the follow-up, the band parted ways with guitarist Marc Rizzo and percussionist Roger Vasquez. Confession was recorded in mid-2003 and released on September 30, 2003. It debuted at No. 37 in the Billboard 200 with first week sales of 27,863. The lead single, "How Can I Live", was their first single to break into the Billboard charts, peaking at No. 26 on the Mainstream Rock chart.

The band's third effort, One Nation Underground, was released on September 27, 2005 and debuted at No. 101 on the Billboard 200 charts. On July 15, 2006, Ill Niño parted with Roadrunner Records and their guitarist Jardel Paisante. Just a week later, they signed a new deal with the recently formed Cement Shoes Records. Roadrunner released The Best of Ill Niño on September 12, 2006, as a contractual obligation to the label, and without the band's consent or involvement.

Through Cement Shoes Records they released The Under Cover Sessions, an EP featuring three covers and two new songs, and Enigma, their fourth studio album, released in 2008 after multiple delays. The album sold 5,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release and debuted at No. 145 on the Billboard 200 chart. In March 2010, Ill Niño signed with Victory Records. Dead New World, the band's label debut, was released on October 25, 2010 and production was shared by Sahaj Ticotin and Clint Lowery of Sevendust. Epidemia, the band's sixth album, was released on October 22, 2012. This was their last release to feature long-time percussionist Daniel "Danny" Couto, who left the band in late 2013 and was replaced by Oscar Santiago. The band's seventh studio album, Till Death La Familia, was released on July 22, 2014. Afterwards, they toured in support of the new album and embarked on a worldwide "15 Years Of Revolution" tour to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Revolution Revolución in 2016 and 2017.

Fracture and lawsuit
On January 15, 2019, Dave Chavarri announced that Cristian Machado, Ahrue Luster and Diego Verduzco had departed the band. They were replaced by Marcos Leal (Shattered Sun), Jes De Hoyos (Sons of Texas) and Salvadore Dominguez (ex-Upon a Burning Body), respectively. This occasion also saw the return of Daniel "Danny" Couto on percussions. One day later, the three former members dismissed Chavarri's public statement and assured the band's fans that they had not departed the band, vowing to continue as "Ill Niño" instead.

On March 21, 2019, MetalSucks acquired a copy of the lawsuit paperwork filed by Machado, Luster and Verduzco accusing Chavarri of shady business deals, such as using his status as Ill Niño's manager to scam the band into taking a financial loss while repaying a personal loan, falsifying financial documents in order to keep tens of thousands of dollars for himself, pocketing show guarantees and tour advances for himself, sometimes even canceling tours and then refusing to return the promoter's advance, and refusing the band members their legally owed access to financial records among many other accusations.

Settlement and continuation
In March 2020, Chavarri, Pina, Machado, Luster and Verduzco reached a mutual agreement, allowing Chavarri and Pina to continue with the Ill Niño bandname. With the legal issues resolved, ex-Ill Niño members Machado, Luster and Verduzco went on to form a new band Lions at the Gate, and the new Ill Niño line-up began work on their eighth album and subsequently released a second single, "Máscara", featuring AJ Channer from Fire from the Gods. At the same time, they announced the title of their next album, IllMortals. They also held a one-day event dubbed "American Revolución" on January 30, 2021, along with Fire From the Gods and Hyro the Hero. Also present as guests were former members of the band, such as Marc Rizzo, Jorge Rosado and Daniel Gomez. This marked the first time in over 18 years they performed with Ill Niño. On October 6, 2021, Rizzo revealed that he had rejoined Ill Niño as their permanent lead guitarist.

In an interview during the band's spring 2022 tour, Dave Chavarri announced May 6 as the release date for the new album IllMortals. On that day, Ill Nino instead released a new single titled "This Is Over" and later announced June 10 as the album's new release date. However, the album was again delayed for undisclosed reasons and remains unreleased. But on May 13, 2023, the band re-recorded the "Numb" song from their Confession album with new arrangements and lyrics changed by Leal, and its video clip has been posted on YouTube.

Musical style
Ill Niño have been described as Latin metal, nu metal, alternative metal and metalcore.

Iestyn Harris

Iestyn Rhys Harris (born 25 June 1976) is a former dual-code international professional rugby league and rugby union footballer who played in the 1990s and 2000s, and coach in rugby league in the 2000s and 2010s. He played representative rugby league for Great Britain and Wales, and at club level for the Warrington Wolves, the Leeds Rhinos (captain) where he won the 1998 Man of Steel Award, the Bradford Bulls (captain), and Featherstone Rovers, and representative rugby union for Wales, and at club level for Cardiff RFC and Cardiff Blues, and has coached representative rugby league for Wales, and at club level for Featherstone Rovers (assistant coach), the Crusaders Rugby League (initially as assistant coach under Brian Noble, and then head coach), the Wigan Warriors (assistant coach), and Salford Red Devils (head coach).

Early life
Harris was born in Oldham, Greater Manchester, England. His Abercarn-born grandfather Norman Harris played rugby union for Abercarn RFC, Ebbw Vale RFC, Pontypool RFC and Newbridge RFC before heading north to win eight Wales caps in rugby league.

Warrington
Harris' professional career began with league club Warrington at age 17 in 1993 before a record-breaking £350,000 transfer to Leeds in 1997.

Iestyn Harris played at in Warrington's 10–40 defeat by Wigan in the 1994–95 Regal Trophy Final during the 1994–95 season at Alfred McAlpine Stadium, Huddersfield on Saturday 28 January 1995.

Leeds
Harris was made captain of Leeds Rhinos in his first full season at the club at the age of twenty-one, and became the first Leeds captain in a decade to lift silverware when Leeds Rhinos claimed the 1999 Challenge Cup.

Harris initially played at before being switched to. In 1998, despite having played most of his games at fullback, he was named in the half backs in 1998's Super League Dream Team and also collected the annual Man of Steel trophy as the best player in the Super League. He captained Leeds Rhinos from in their 1998 Super League Grand Final defeat by the Wigan Warriors.

A superb goal-kicker, Harris broke the club record for goals in a season in 1999 with 168, he was named at stand-off in 1999's Super League IV Dream Team, and broke the 2,000 career points total two years later.

Harris matched the record for scoring the most points in a Challenge Cup Final when he scored 20 points (1 try, and 8 conversions) in Leeds' 52–16 victory over London Broncos in the 1999 Challenge Cup Final during Super League IV at Wembley Stadium, London on 1 May 1999. This equalled the record set by Neil Fox (2-tries and 7-goals) in Wakefield Trinity's victory over Hull F.C. in the 1960 Challenge Cup Final.

Cardiff and Wales RU
In 2001, Harris made a £1.5 million switch to Cardiff RFC and Wales.

Harris made his debut for the Welsh side on 10 November 2001, playing against Argentina in Cardiff; Wales lost 16–30. Having played only 200 minutes of rugby union before his international debut, Harris struggled, particularly with his tactical kicking. This led to a move from fly-half to inside centre, where he could be creative with less pressure.

World Cup 2003
Harris played in the 2003 Rugby World Cup in Australia, where Wales lost in the quarter-finals to eventual winners, England, despite leading the game for 60 minutes. Harris won 25 Wales caps as a union player but made it clear that he wanted to return to League.

Bradford Bulls
In 2004, Harris returned to rugby league, citing family reasons. He joined Bradford Bulls after a contractual fight with former club Leeds. His salary was reputed to be £1 million over 4 seasons. Harris played for the Bradford Bulls at in their 2004 Super League Grand Final loss against the Leeds Rhinos. Harris was selected in the Great Britain team to compete in the end of season 2004 Rugby League Tri-Nations tournament. In the final against Australia he played at in the Lions' 44–4 loss.

Harris wrote a book, published in October 2005, detailing his moves between codes called Iestyn Harris: There and Back – My Journey from League to Union and Back Again. Harris was part of the 2005 Bradford Bulls squad that became the first side in the history of Super League to win the Grand Final when finishing third in the final league ladder. He played for the Bradford Bulls at, kicking a goal in their 2005 Super League Grand Final victory against Leeds Rhinos.

Harris was Bradford Bulls' captain for one year in 2006 taking over from Leeds-bound Jamie Peacock. As Super League champions Bradford Bulls faced National Rugby League premiers Wests Tigers in the 2006 World Club Challenge. Harris captained the Bradford Bulls from, kicking five goals from six attempts in their 30–10 victory. On 10 May 2006, Harris announced he would be retiring from playing international rugby league with Great Britain, just a week after being named in a 36-strong training squad for a June 2006 Test against New Zealand. Harris, who won the last of his 15 Great Britain caps against Australia in November 2005, said he wanted to concentrate on his club career. On 26 September 2006, he confirmed that he would continue to play for Wales, and was scheduled to return to the side against Scotland at the Brewery Field, Bridgend in the 2008 Rugby League World Cup qualifying match on Sunday 29 October 2006. He was forced to pull out through injury hours before kick-off. Harris kicked a club record 15 goals against Toulouse Olympique in a record 98–6 win on 19 April 2008. Harris had been linked to a player-coach role with Crusaders, but he decided to sign for National League One club Featherstone Rovers instead.

Featherstone Rovers
Harris signed a 2-year deal at Featherstone Rovers, as well as playing, he also took his first steps into coaching and working in the marketing department of the club, he made his debut for Featherstone Rovers on Sunday 15 February 2009, he also ultimately made a lot of debt for Bradford Bulls, and he played his last match for Featherstone Rovers during the 2009 season. On announcement of his tenure as assistant coach to Brian Noble at Celtic Crusaders, he agreed termination of his contract at Featherstone Rovers and an immediate end to his playing career.

Wales National Rugby League team
While still playing for Bradford, Harris was appointed Wales Assistant Coach on 18 June 2008. On 22 September 2009, Harris was appointed Wales's rugby league head coach, succeeding John Dixon. Appointed alongside Harris were the more experienced Kevin Ellis and Clive Griffiths, and the trio's first match was against England on 17 October, which they lost 48–12.

Wales qualified for the 2011 Rugby League Four Nations, and therefore won the Tournament's co-hosting rights with England. Unfortunately, as expected, Wales lost all of games, but they put up great fights. They lost by 42–4 against England, but they played well against the Kiwis at Wembley Stadium in London. Wales lost by 36–0, but New Zealand were frustrated by not being able to play their attacking football full of flair, and this was due to Harris' team's good defence. Then surprisingly, in Wales' (and Welsh legend Lee Briers last game of his international career) final game of the Tournament, Wales shocked all odds, as they had an early 8–0 lead, against world heavyweights Australia, after 14 minutes. It took Australia until just before half-time to take the lead. Harris' men would then go on to lose the game 56–14, but he still gave Lee Briers a fitting farewell.

Iestyn coached Wales in the 2013 Rugby League World Cup held in their own country and fellow British nation England. Unfortunately Iestyn's side didn't get a single win at the event, and they gave history to each of the teams that defeated them. Italy won their first World Cup match in their first appearance, USA in their annual tournament advanced to the quarter-final, and the Cook Islands won their first ever World Cup match.

On 9 April 2014, Harris resigned from the Wales post, after taking up the head coaching role at the Super League club, the Salford Red Devils.

Crusaders Rugby League
On 14 October 2009, Harris was announced as assistant coach to Brian Noble at Wales-based Crusaders Rugby League, alongside Jon Sharp. After a year as assistant it was announced in November 2010 that Harris would take over as head coach of Crusaders following the resignation of Brian Noble. His first official game in charge was against Salford on Sunday 13 February 2011 in the opening round of the Super League. The game was played at the Millennium Stadium as part of the Magic Weekend.

Wigan Warriors
In 2011, Harris became the assistant coach at former club Wigan.

Salford Red Devils
In 2014, it was announced by Marwan Koukash that Harris would take over from Brian Noble as head coach at Salford Red Devils. The appointment was described as a "huge gamble". In Harris' first match in charge, Salford played away from home and defeated Bradford Bulls by 38–24.

In September 2015, after being absent from the club for two months, Salford mutually sacked Harris from his post as head coach of the club.

Media career
Iestyn regularly provides expert TV and radio analysis including BBC's Super League Show, and contributes to BBC Radio Five Live's rugby league coverage.

Author
Harris released his autobiography Iestyn Harris: There and Back - My Journey from League to Union and Back Again in 2005.

Personal life
Harris lives in Cheshire, England, he is married to Becky Harris with whom he has a daughter; Catrin, and a younger son; Cameron, he also has a sister; Rhiain.

Cranachan

Cranachan is a traditional Scottish dessert. It was originally a celebration of harvest, made following the raspberry harvest in August. The dessert of cream and fresh seasonal raspberries is bolstered by Scottish oats and whisky. It has been called 'the uncontested king of Scottish desserts'. Cranachan owes its origins to crowdie, a popular breakfast in which crowdie cheese is combined with lightly toasted oatmeal, cream, and local honey. Raspberries, when in season, might be added to the dish.

Cranachan is now served all year round, and typically on special occasions. A traditional way to serve cranachan is to bring dishes of each ingredient to the table so that each person can assemble their own dessert to taste.

Recipes
There are many versions of this traditional Scottish pudding. Earlier recipes used crowdie cheese instead of, or in addition to cream and were sometimes called cream-crowdie. Other earlier recipes are more austere, omitting the whisky and treating the fruit as an optional extra. More modern recipes have swapped the crowdie cheese for a simple whipped cream. Modern recipes usually are made from a mixture of double cream, whisky, honey and fresh raspberries, with toasted oatmeal soaked overnight in a little drop of whisky. Tall dessert glasses are often used to serve.

Alternative versions of the recipe include orange cranachan, cranachan trifle, spiced rum, and shortbread round. For spiced rum cranachan the rum mixture is folded in with whipped cream and placed on top of the shortbread and then the raspberries are added. Whisky-soaked raisins can be used if raspberries are unavailable. Chocolate cranachan can be made with chopped toasted hazelnuts, light muscovado sugar and chocolate.

Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters

Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters is a 1985 biographical drama film based on the life and work of Japanese writer Yukio Mishima, directed by Paul Schrader from a screenplay by his brother Leonard and Leonard's wife Chieko Schrader from a story by Paul Schrader and Jun Shiragi. The film interweaves episodes from Mishima's (Ken Ogata) life with dramatizations of segments from his books The Temple of the Golden Pavilion, Kyoko's House, and Runaway Horses. Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas were executive producers of the film, which has a musical score composed by Philip Glass and production design by Eiko Ishioka.

Plot
The film begins on November 25, 1970, the last day in Mishima's life. He is shown finishing a manuscript, then puts on a uniform he designed for himself and meets with four of his most loyal followers from his private army, the Tatenokai.

In flashbacks highlighting episodes from his past life, the viewer sees Mishima's progression from a sickly young boy to one of Japan's most acclaimed writers of the post-war era (who in adulthood trains himself into the acme of muscular discipline, owing to a morbid and militaristic obsession with masculinity and physical culture). His loathing for the materialism of modern Japan has him turn towards an extremist traditionalism. He sets up his own private army and proclaims the reinstating of the emperor as head of government.

The biographical sections are interwoven with short dramatizations of three of Mishima's novels: In The Temple of the Golden Pavilion, a stuttering aspirant sets fire to the famous Zen Buddhist temple because he feels inferior at the sight of its beauty. Kyoko's House depicts the sadomasochistic (and ultimately fatal) relationship between a middle-aged woman and her young lover, who is in her financial debt. In Runaway Horses, a group of young fanatic nationalists fails to overthrow the government, with its leader subsequently committing suicide. Dramatizations, frame story, and flashbacks are segmented into the four chapters of the film's title, named Beauty, Art, Action, and Harmony of Pen and Sword.

The film culminates in Mishima and his followers taking hostage a General of the Japan Self-Defense Forces. He addresses the garrison's soldiers, asking them to join him in his struggle to reinstate the Emperor as the nation's sovereign. His speech is largely ignored and ridiculed. Mishima then returns to the General's office and commits seppuku.

Production
Mishima dramatizes three of the writer's novels and also uses segments from his autobiographical novel Confessions of a Mask. At least two scenes, one showing the young Mishima being aroused by a painting of the Christian martyr Sebastian, and another where a young Mishima purposefully exaggerates his illness at a military draft health checkup, appear in this book.

The use of one further Mishima novel, Forbidden Colors, which describes the marriage of a homosexual man to a woman, was denied by Mishima's widow. As Schrader wanted to visualize a book illustrating Mishima's narcissism and sexual ambiguity, he chose the novel Kyoko's House (which he had translated for him exclusively) instead. Kyoko's House contains four equally ranking storylines, featuring four protagonists, but Schrader picked out only the one which he considered relevant.

Mishima used various colour palettes to differentiate between frame story, flashbacks and scenes from Mishima's novels: the scenes set in 1970 were shot in naturalistic colours, the flashbacks in black-and-white, the Temple of the Golden Pavilion-episode is dominated by golden and green, Kyoko's House by pink and grey, and Runaway Horses by orange and black.

Pre-production began in February 1984. Cinematographer John Bailey instructed the Japanese crew to set up a screening of Hideo Gosha's film Goyokin, which was screened as an important reference for the "look" of the film.

Roy Scheider was the narrator in the original movie version and on the early VHS release. On the 2001 DVD release, Scheider's voice-over was substituted with narration by an uncredited actor. The 2008 DVD re-release contains both Scheider's and the alternate narration (plus Ken Ogata's for the Japanese version). In a commentary on Amazon.com, Schrader explained this was a manufacturing error in 2001 and that the voice belonged to the photographer Paul Jasmin.

The film closes with Mishima's suicide (which actually took longer than the seppuku ritual dictates). His confidant Morita, unable to behead Mishima, also failed in killing himself according to the ritual. A third group member beheaded both, then the conspirators surrendered without resistance. Roger Ebert approved of Schrader's decision not to show the suicide in bloody detail, which he thought would have destroyed the film's mood.

The film was withdrawn from the Tokyo International Film Festival and never officially released in Japan, mostly due to a boycott exercised by Mishima's widow and threats by far right wing groups opposed to Mishima's portrayal as a homosexual. The title role was originally intended for Ken Takakura, who indeed proposed this to Paul Schrader, but had to withdraw due to pressure from the same groups. In an interview with Kevin Jackson published in 1992, Schrader commented on the fact that his film has still not been shown in Japan: "[Mishima] is too much of a scandal. ... When Mishima died people said, 'Give us fifteen years and we'll tell you what we think about him,' but it's been more than fifteen years now and they still don't know what to say. Mishima has become a non-subject."

Schrader considers Mishima the best film he has directed. "It's the one I'd stand by – as a screenwriter it's Taxi Driver, but as a director it's Mishima."

Music
The musical score for Mishima was composed by Philip Glass, with parts performed by the Kronos Quartet. A soundtrack album was released on vinyl record and Audio CD in 1985 by Nonesuch Records.

Critical response
On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, Mishima has approval rating and an average rating of  based on  reviews. The website's critical consensus reads, "If Paul Schrader’s Yukio Mishima biopic omits too much to fully depict the author’s life, its passion shines through in its avant-garde structure, Eiko Ishioka’s production design, and Philip Glass’ thunderous score." In his 2013 movie guide, Leonard Maltin called the film an "ambitious, highly stylized drama", later adding that it is "long, difficult, not always successful, but fascinating." In 2007, Roger Ebert added the film to his "Great Movies" list, calling the film "a triumph of concise writing and construction. The unconventional structure of the film ... unfolds with perfect clarity, the logic revealing itself."

Chris Peachment of Time Out Film Guide said, "Schrader may have finally achieved the violent transfiguration that he seeks along with his protagonists; the film has all the ritual sharpness and beauty of that final sword. ... There is nothing quite like it."

Awards
The film premiered at the 1985 Cannes Film Festival on May 15, 1985, where it won the award for Best Artistic Contribution.

Home media
Mishima has been released three times on DVD in the US, two of which by The Criterion Collection who also produced its  Blu-ray release.
 * The 2001 Warner Bros. release included a behind-the-scenes documentary, an audio commentary by Paul Schrader and a deleted scene. This edition did not, like the theatrical version, feature the narration of Roy Scheider but of an uncredited actor.
 * The 2008 Criterion Collection release offered both English narrations by Roy Scheider and (according to Paul Schrader) Paul Jasmin from the 2001 release. Also, it featured new audio commentaries, video interviews with the film makers and experts on the writings of Mishima, plus The Strange Case of Yukio Mishima, a BBC documentary about the author.
 * The 2018 Criterion Collection re-release on both DVD and Blu-Ray offered a new, restored 4K digital transfer of the director's cut, supervised and approved by director Paul Schrader and cinematographer John Bailey, with 2.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack. Existing features from the 2008 Criterion release were carried over with the addition of a new booklet featuring an essay by critic Kevin Jackson, a piece on the film's censorship in Japan, and photographs of Ishioka's sets.

A French DVD was released by Wild Side Video in 2010 titled Mishima – une vie en quatre chapitres in Japanese, English and French language with French subtitles.

A Spanish Blu-ray Disc was released in 2010 titled Mishima – Una Vida en Cuatro Capítulos. It features Schrader's narration with optional Spanish and Catalan, but no English, subtitles.

Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone

Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone is a 1989 Japanese anime fantasy martial arts film, the fourth installment in the Dragon Ball film series, and the first under the Dragon Ball Z moniker. It was originally released in Japan on July 15 at the "Toei Manga Matsuri" film festival along with the 1989 film version of Himitsu no Akko-chan, the first Akuma-kun film, and the film version of Kidou Keiji Jiban. It was preceded by Dragon Ball: Mystical Adventure and followed by Dragon Ball Z: The World's Strongest.

Despite continuity inconsistencies, Dead Zone acts as a prelude to the Dragon Ball Z television series and is the only film to get a follow-up within the series, that being the Garlic Jr. arc which takes place between Frieza and Android arcs. The canonicity of this arc is debated as it does not appear in the original manga.

Plot
Following his defeat by Goku at the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament, Piccolo trains alone when he is caught in an ambush by a group of mysterious warriors. Chi-Chi, along with her father and son, Gohan, are attacked by the same group while Goku is away fishing. He senses the danger his family faces and returns to find that his son has been abducted.

The impish Garlic Jr. is responsible for the attack so that he could retrieve the four-star Dragon Ball that was attached to Gohan's hat. Garlic Jr. senses an immense power within Gohan, and decides to make him his pupil rather than kill him. After gathering the remaining six magical Dragon Balls, Garlic Jr. summons the eternal dragon Shenron and he wishes for immortality. Goku prepares to rescue his son when Kami, Earth's guardian, arrives and explains that centuries prior, he and Garlic Jr.'s father, Garlic, competed for the position of Guardian of the Earth and Kami was victorious. In revenge, Garlic unleashed a demonic horde onto the Earth until Kami defeated him and ended the invasion. Goku proceeds to search for Gohan when he is attacked by the villain's henchmen while Kami faces Garlic Jr.

Krillin and Piccolo arrive with the latter defeating henchman Sansho while Goku manages to defeat the other two henchmen, Ginger and Nicky. Meanwhile, Kami is bested by Garlic Jr. until Goku and Piccolo rescue him. With Garlic Jr.'s newly obtained immortality and a new, muscular form, the rivals Goku and Piccolo are forced to work together and are able to eventually defeat him. Still possessing disdain for one another and mistakenly believing Garlic Jr. to be dead, Goku and Piccolo prepare to fight when Garlic Jr. opens up a portal into another dimension; a void of darkness known as the Dead Zone. Gohan becomes enraged as he witnesses his father and friends in danger and releases his latent power, hurdling Garlic Jr. into his own vortex to be trapped for all eternity. Unable to recall the events, Gohan believes that his father defeated Garlic Jr. while Goku realizes his son has amazing hidden potential. Piccolo vows to defeat Goku while watching him and his friends depart.

Cast
Toshio Furukawa's voice from the original Japanese version is retained in the AB Groupe dub at the beginning of this film, when Piccolo screams and destroys a large rock formation.

In Funimation's English credits, Christopher Sabat is miscredited as playing the Ox King, a mistake carried over to the 2006 dub of The World's Strongest.

English dub soundtracks
The 1997 Pioneer release kept the original Japanese music.

There is a discrepancy that states the 2005 English dub score was composed by Mark Menza, which it was not. It was composed by Nathan Johnson. The Double Feature release that came out 3 years later in 2008 contains an alternate audio track containing the English dub with original Japanese background music by Shunsuke Kikuchi and an ending theme of "Come Out, Incredible Zenkai Power!".

Box office
At the Japanese box office, the film sold 2.2 million tickets and earned a net distribution rental income of ¥800 million.

North America
The film was licensed in North America by Funimation Entertainment and the home video rights were sub-licensed to Pioneer Entertainment. Pioneer was released on VHS, LaserDisc, and DVD on December 17, 1997. They used the same voice cast as the TV series did at the time, and was dubbed by Ocean Productions. They released the film as Dead Zone. As a feature on the Pioneer DVD, deleted scenes from the original episodes 1 and 9 are shown in Japanese with English subtitles, as these two episodes were yet to be dubbed in full at the time. Later, on August 13, 2013, Funimation released the Rock the Dragon Edition DVD set, which contained an edited version of the Ocean dub of this film, as well as The World's Strongest and The Tree of Might, as they aired on Toonami, along with the 53 edited episodes of the TV series.

Once their sub-license expired, Funimation released the film on DVD in the "Ultimate Uncut Edition" on May 31, 2005, with a completely new dub done by Funimation's voice cast and a feature film audio commentary. They also re-released the film on November 14, 2006, as part of a DVD set subtitled "First Strike", also containing The World's Strongest and The Tree of Might. It was later released in a double feature set along with The World's Strongest on Blu-ray and DVD on May 27, 2008, both featuring full 1080p format in HD remastered 16:9 aspect ratio and an enhanced 5.1 surround mix. The film was re-released on DVD in remastered thinpak collection on November 1, 2011, containing the first five Dragon Ball Z films.

Europe and Malaysia
AB Groupe, a French company that holds the license to the Dragon Ball franchise in most of Europe, licensed and dubbed the film, which they re-titled In Pursuit of Garlic. This dub featured a voice cast that was unknown for years, but it is now believed that English-speaking voice actors in France were involved with this dub. In Pursuit of Garlic aired on TV in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Ireland, and was sold on DVD in the Netherlands by Bridge Entertainment Group in 2003.

Speedy Video, a Malaysian-based company, released the film on Video CD, here subtitled The Vengeance of the Demon King. Speedy also released the Pioneer English adaptation on VCD.

Critical reception
GameFan magazine reviewed the DVD release in 1998 and gave it a B− rating.

This is a good article but it does not elaborate on why Morris turned against the Clintons. What happened-- what was the reason?

I have persnally speculated but have no idea-- is he really a Republican with a mercenary streak who regrets having served a Democratic president? Or is he a legitimate Centrist and were there other reasons?

 * One thing is-- as far as Hillary goes-- it seems very personal. Like he has a grudge against her. If so, I don't trust him. Politics should be based on principles and should not be personal.

 * Sean Hannity seems to have come to dislike Morris. I have seen Hannity get very annoyed with him on FOX. Hannity does not like the Clintons-- but doesn't seem to like Morris anymore either.

If anyone knows why Morris turned on the Clintons-- that should be a key part of this article I would think.

 * I see Dick Morris a lot and he seems very focused on Hillary Clinton, not Bill. Just because he worked as an advisor and whatnot to Bill does not mean in any way he would support Hillary. So the idea that he "turned" on the Clintons wouldn't necessarily be accurate. I doubt he has a "mercenary streak," you can work for the president for a few days and return to the private sector with an incredible job and pay... if you wanted to make baseless speculations it could be that he used to support Bill, maybe he wanted to win ("I'm the guy who got Bill to win") maybe he thought of Bill as a friend, and wanted to help someone who he knew would listen to him as an advisor, who knows- doesn't really matter I guess though.

 * As to Sean Hannity- I see the two together a lot, I don't get that vibe really at all. Maybe a mild annoyance at times, but that might very simply be Morris' love of Alan. Most conservatives pander to Sean, and liberals to Alan- Morris loves Alan because he clearly loves to annoy him and give him a hard time. Other than that Sean has a much more moderate (not politically, but he's not "fantastic," or over the top) approach while Morris has a very intense nature. Just a few moments ago I saw Morris talk about how Michigan is going to be the most crucial state for republicans, if Romney loses it's over for him yadda yadda- Sean tried to interject (interupted by commercial break) that it isn't that simple and clear cut. Again, for wikipedia unimportant, but hopefully this can shed a little more light on the question(s).--67.185.245.221 (talk) 08:58, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

 * My speculation is that the Clintons cut him off completely after the scandal in 1996. They did not want to be associated with him in an election year.  Morris probably thought that his access would never be cut off.  Hillary Clinton and Dick Morris probably also have some policy disagreements with Dick Morris arguing that Hillary Clinton's policy agenda was politically unviable.  Jmegill (talk) 12:52, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

 * I wanted to add to my comments before, I remember Karl Rove in an interview talked about how like he just loved politics, in the beginning it wasn't about an ideology, it was just the republicans (in college maybe) that "took him in." Maybe Dick Morris just likes politics, back then it was about helping Clinton, maybe today he decided he doesn't like Clinton or he sees attacking the Clintons as his ticket to stay in politics. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.29.0.100 (talk) 23:13, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Dick Morris likes former President Clinton, but he never liked Hillary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.190.32.185 (talk) 02:39, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Please avoid putting personal opinions into articles
Look at this sentence currently in the article "Many[attribution needed] perceived this as a move to the center of the political spectrum, and it disappointed some[attribution needed] who had hoped Clinton would pursue a more liberal policy.[citation needed]"

Note the things wrong with it:
 * Use of vague actors. Often the "people think" is just a way to get around saying "I think".  Change the wording here:  I saw this as a move to the center and it dissapointed me because I wanted Clinton to be more liberal."  Who wants to lay betting odds that the original author feels this way?

 * Change in subject: Is the article about Morris or Clinton or what (liberal) people think of Clinton?

 * Placement of concernt: The author apparently thinks it's noteworthy what liberals think, but not conservatives!

(For last two, given, that the article is about MORRIS, if we have ANY of this tripe, it might be more pertinent to say how disappointed conservatives were that Morris was helping the enemy.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by TCO (talk • contribs) 18:43, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Writing for National Enquirer as of 2016
Not sure where to put this item, so leaving it in the talk section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.179.131.166 (talk) 06:22, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

List of Washington state parks

The U.S. state of Washington has over 140 state parks that are managed by the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission. These include 19 marine parks and 11 Historical Parks. The park system was established in 1913 by the creation of the Washington State Board of Park Commissioners. The first two parks were formed from donated land in 1915, and by 1929 the state had seven parks. In 1947 the State Parks Committee was renamed to the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission and given authority to oversee the state park system. By 1960 the number of state parks had increased to 130.

In 2003, the Washington State Legislature introduced a $5-a-day parking fee, meant to fund park-related construction projects; more than a quarter of the fees collected went into the fee-collection system itself. Park use decreased more than 15% under the fees. The fee was rescinded in early 2006, returning the state park system to its status of the only system in the West without day-use fees. In 2011 the legislature enacted a $10 day-use permit and a $30 annual pass, called the Discover Pass, for vehicles to enter state parks, lands owned or managed by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, and designated lands of the Washington Department of Natural Resources. Funds generated from the sale of the Discover Pass are deposited into the Recreation Access Pass Account. The new fees did not raise as much money as was hoped, though another effort to encourage donation when renewing certain state licenses (including driver's licenses) was more successful than officials expected.

Mercedonius

Mercedonius (Latin for "Work Month"), also known as Mercedinus, Interkalaris or Intercalaris (mensis intercalaris), was the intercalary month of the Roman calendar. The resulting leap year was either 377 or 378 days long. It theoretically occurred every two (or occasionally three) years, but was sometimes avoided or employed by the Roman pontiffs for political reasons regardless of the state of the solar year. Mercedonius was eliminated by Julius Caesar when he introduced the Julian calendar in 45 BC.

History
This month, instituted according to Roman tradition by Numa Pompilius, was supposed to be inserted every two or three years to align the conventional 355-day Roman year with the solar year.

The decision of whether to insert the intercalary month was made by the pontifex maximus, supposedly based on observations to ensure the best possible correspondence with the seasons. However, the pontifex maximus would normally be an active politician, and the decision would often be manipulated to allow friends to stay in office longer or force enemies out early. Such unpredictable intercalation meant that dates following the month of Februarius could not be known in advance, and further to this, Roman citizens living outside Rome would often not know the current date.

The exact mechanism is not clearly specified in ancient sources. Some scholars hold that in intercalary years February's length was fixed at 23 days and it was followed by a variable-length mensis intercalaris with 27 or 28 days. This view is followed in generalist surveys of calendrical history.

However, following a discussion of intercalation by Michels (1967) some specialist studies of the pre-Julian calendar published since 1967 claim that in intercalary years Februarius was set at either 23 or 24 days, which was followed by an intercalary month of 27 days. Whichever interpretation is correct, the days ''a.d. VI Kal. Mart. to Prid. Kal. Mart., normally referring to the end of February, were in intercalary years the concluding days of the mensis intercalaris''.

The month was eliminated by Julius Caesar with his revised calendar in 46 BC.

PLT experiments are expected "...to give a clear indication whether the tokamak concept plus auxiliary heating can form a basis for a future fusion reactor. 1978: In July, PLT sets a world record for ion temperatures of 60 million degrees C using neutral-beam heating. For the first time, ion temperatures exceed the theoretical threshold for ignition in a tokamak device. 1981:PLT produces the first tokamak discharge in which the plasma current is driven entirely by lower-hybrid radio-frequency waves. 1984:PLT uses ion-cyclotron radio-frequency heating to produce ion temperatures of 60 million degrees C, a record for this technique." - ... i've added a redlink and started a stub with the above. -- Rod57 (talk) 17:28, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

Februarius

Februarius, fully Mensis Februarius ("month of Februa"), was the shortest month of the Roman calendar from which the Julian and Gregorian month of February derived. It was eventually placed second in order, preceded by Ianuarius ("month of Janus", January) and followed by Martius ("month of Mars", March). In the oldest Roman calendar, which the Romans believed to have been instituted by their legendary founder Romulus, March was the first month, and the calendar year had only ten months in all. Ianuarius and Februarius were supposed to have been added by Numa Pompilius, the second king of Rome, originally at the end of the year. It is unclear when the Romans reset the course of the year so that January and February came first.

Februarius was the only month in the pre-Julian calendar to have an even number of days, numbering 28. This was mathematically necessary to permit the year itself to have an odd number of days. Ancient sources derived Februarius from februum, a thing used for ritual purification. Most of the observances in this month concerned the dead or closure, reflecting the month's original position at the end of the year. The Parentalia was a nine-day festival honoring the ancestors and propitiating the dead, while the Terminalia was a set of rituals pertaining to boundary stones that was probably also felt to reinforce the boundary of the year.

In the agricultural year
Many Roman festivals and religious observances reflect the Romans' agrarian way of life in their early history. In his treatise on farming, Varro divides the agricultural year into eight phases, with Spring beginning officially on February 7, when Favonius the west wind was thought to start blowing favorably and it was time to ready the fields. The grain fields were to be weeded, vineyards tended, and old reeds burned. Some kinds of trees were pruned, and attention was given to olive and fruit trees.

The agricultural writer Columella says that meadows and grain fields are "purged" (purguntur), probably both in the practical sense of clearing away old debris and by means of ritual. The duties of February thus suggest the close bond between agriculture and religion in Roman culture. According to the farmers' almanacs, the tutelary deity of the month was Neptune.

Dates
The Romans did not number days of a month sequentially from the 1st through the last day. Instead, they counted back from the three fixed points of the month: the Nones (5th or 7th, depending on the length of the month), the Ides (13th or 15th), and the Kalends (1st) of the following month. The Nones of February was the 5th, and the Ides the 13th. The last day of February was the pridie Kalendas Martias, "day before the Kalends of March". Roman counting was inclusive; February 9 was ante diem V Idūs Februarias, "the 5th day before the Ides (13th) of February," usually abbreviated ''a.d. V Id. Feb. (or with the a.d. omitted altogether); February 23 was VI Kal. Mart.'', "the 6th day before the Kalends of March."

February had one and possibly two moveable feasts (feriae conceptivae). The Amburbium ("City Circuit") was a purification of the whole city with no fixed date, but seems to have been held in February. The Fornacalia ("Oven Festival") was celebrated by the thirty ancient divisions of the Roman people known as curiae. Each curia celebrated a festival separately under its own leader (curio) on various days following the Nones. These dates were established and publicized by the curio maximus, the chief curio. Anyone who missed the Fornacalia celebrated by his own curia, or who didn't know his curia, could attend a public festival which was always held as the concluding ceremony on February 17. The Fornacalia overlapped with the festival of the ancestral dead that dominated the month, and on its last day coincided with the Quirinalia, a day also known as the Feast of Fools (feriae stultorum). Februarius was thus such a religiously complex month that during the Julian reform of the calendar, when days were added to some months, it was left as it had been, even though it was the shortest month.

Each day was marked with a letter to denote its status under religious law. In the month of February:
 * F for dies fasti, days when it was legal to initiate action in the courts of civil law;
 * C for dies comitalis, a day on which the Roman people could hold assemblies (comitia), elections, and certain kinds of judicial proceedings;
 * N for dies nefasti, when these political activities and the administration of justice were prohibited;
 * NP, the meaning of which remains elusive, but which marked feriae, public holidays;
 * EN for endotercissus, an archaic form of intercissus, "cut in half," meaning days that were nefasti in the morning, when sacrifices were being prepared, and in the evening, while sacrifices were being offered, but were fasti in the middle of the day.

By the late 2nd century AD, extant calendars no longer show days marked with these letters, probably in part as a result of calendar reforms undertaken by Marcus Aurelius. Days were also marked with nundinal letters in cycles of A B C D E F G H, to mark the "market week" (these are omitted on the table below).

On a dies religiosus, individuals were not to undertake any new activity, nor do anything other than tend to the most basic necessities. On the calendar under the Republic, a dies natalis was an anniversary such as a temple founding or rededication, sometimes thought of as the "birthday" of a deity. During the Imperial period, some of the traditional festivals localized at Rome became less important, and the birthdays and anniversaries of the emperor and his family gained prominence as Roman holidays. On the calendar of military religious observances known as the Feriale Duranum, sacrifices pertaining to Imperial cult outnumber the older festivals.

Festivals marked in large letters on extant fasti, represented by festival names in all capital letters on the table, are thought to have been the most ancient holidays, becoming part of the calendar before 509 BC. After the mid-1st century AD, a number of dates are added to calendars for spectacles and games (circenses) held in honor of various deities in the venue called a "circus".

Unless otherwise noted, the dating and observances on the following table are from H.H. Scullard, Festivals and Ceremonies of the Roman Republic (Cornell University Press, 1981), pp. 69–84.

2000 election stats for usa
Crude electioneering ploy; I sincerely hope this difficult topic is better covered in its proper place. One of the things, for example, that makes these statistics so difficult is that a number of states, having determined that the absentee/military votes, no matter how they had been cast, would not make a difference to the outcome for the state, didn't waste the money to count them: standard practice, and fair enough, since what matters is the votes per state. There are indications, however, that the uncounted absentee/military votes voted somewhat more Republican than the rest of us: so that it remains unknown, in the aggregate across all states, who in fact did win the popular vote. — Bill 23:03, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)

William Demarest

Carl William Demarest (February 27, 1892 – December 28, 1983) was an American actor, known especially for his roles in screwball comedies by Preston Sturges and as Uncle Charley in the sitcom My Three Sons from 1965-72. Demarest, who frequently played crusty but good-hearted roles, was a prolific film and television actor, appearing in over 140 films, beginning in 1926 and ending in the late 1970s. Before his career in movies, he performed in vaudeville for two decades.

Early life
Carl William Demarest was born in Saint Paul, Minnesota, the youngest of three sons of Wilhelmina (née Lindgren) and Samuel Demarest. During William's infancy, the family moved to New Bridge, a hamlet in Bergen County, New Jersey.

Demarest served in the U.S. Army during World War I.

Career
Demarest started in show business working in vaudeville, performing initially in his youth with his two older brothers and later with his wife Estelle Collette (real name Esther Zichlin) as "Demarest and Colette". He then moved to work on Broadway. Demarest, by 1926 also began working in films, often in productions directed by Preston Sturges and as a member of a troupe of actors whom Sturges repeatedly cast in his screen projects. He appeared in 10 films written by Sturges, eight of which were under his direction, including The Lady Eve, Sullivan's Travels, and The Miracle of Morgan's Creek. Demarest was such a familiar figure at the Paramount studio that just his name was used in the movie Sunset Boulevard as a potential star for William Holden's unsold baseball screenplay.

He played folksy Jeb Gaine, an occasional sidekick to the main character, in the 1961–62 season of the Western series Tales of Wells Fargo.

Demarest appeared as Police Chief Aloysius of the Santa Rosita Police Department in the film It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963) as well as in a memorable episode ("What's in the Box") of Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone, portraying a hen-pecked husband who murders his wife.

His most famous television role was in the sitcom My Three Sons from 1965 to 1972, playing Uncle Charley O'Casey. He replaced William Frawley, who was in failing health. Demarest had worked with Fred MacMurray previously in the films Hands Across the Table (1935), Pardon My Past (1945), On Our Merry Way (1948), and The Far Horizons (1955) and was a personal friend of MacMurray.

Awards
Demarest received a single Academy Award nomination for his supporting role in The Jolson Story (1946), playing Al Jolson's fictional mentor. He shared the screen with the real Al Jolson in The Jazz Singer.

Demarest also received an Emmy nomination for the 1968–1969 season of My Three Sons as Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Role.

Demarest has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his contributions to motion pictures, bestowed upon him on August 8, 1979 by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. In attendance at the ceremony and then later at Musso & Frank Grill for celebrations were his My Three Sons co-stars Fred MacMurray and his wife June Haver, Tina Cole, Stanley Livingston, Barry Livingston, and Dawn Lyn.

In 1998, a Golden Palm Star on the Palm Springs Walk of Stars was dedicated to him.

Personal life and later years
Demarest was married twice. His first wife was his vaudeville partner Estelle Collette, born Esther Zichlin. Demarest helped raise her daughter, author Phyllis Gordon Demarest, from her earlier marriage, in 1907, to English poet and novelist Samuel Gordon, who had divorced Zichlin before his death. Demarest's second wife was Lucille Thayer, born Lucille Theurer, whom he married in Prescott, Arizona on August 31, 1942. Thayer, who later became an activist on health issues in the motion picture industry, was, in October 1960, appointed California's lay-chairman of the American Nurses Association.

Death
Demarest died at his home in Palm Springs, California on December 28, 1983, and his body was interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.

Ivan Shamiakin

Ivan Shamiakin (Іван Пятровіч Шамякін, 30 January 1921 – 14 October 2004) was a Soviet Belarusian writer, perhaps one of the most prolific of the BSSR, writing in a socialist realist style.

He was born in 1921 in the village of Karma, Gomel Region, Belarus, studied construction engineering in a vocational school in 1940, then fought in World War II, taking part in battles near Murmansk and in Poland. After the war he studied at the Homel Pedagogical University, worked as an editor and had different Communist Party positions in the local party offices in Belarus. In 1958 Shamiakin, along with some other Belarusian writers, took part in the anti-Boris Pasternak campaign. In 1991 he confessed that he had never been familiar with Pasternak and never read Doctor Zhivago, but had followed in the steps of older comrades. Shamiakin also mentioned Pasternak's "typically Jewish cowardice".

In 1963 Shamiakin worked at the United Nations as part of the Belarusian UN delegation. In 1980 he became the chief editor of the Byelorussian Soviet Encyclopedia and remained in this position until 1992. In 1994 he became the academician of the National Academy of Sciences.

Biography
Born in Toronto, Ontario, Tesher studied sociology at the University of Toronto. She then worked for the Children's Aid Society in Toronto as a caseworker. In 1974, while studying toward a master's degree in sociology, Tesher began working as a freelance journalist. In 1977, she was hired by the Toronto Star.
