Nain, Newfoundland and Labrador

Nain (Inuit language: Nunainguk) is the northernmost permanent settlement in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador, within the Nunatsiavut region, located about 370 km by air from Happy Valley-Goose Bay. The town was established as a Moravian mission in 1771 by Jens Haven and other missionaries. As of 2021, the population is 1,204 mostly Inuit and mixed Inuit-European. Nain is the administrative capital of the autonomous region of Nunatsiavut.

Nain is inaccessible by road and may be reached only by air or sea.

History

Nain was first established in 1771 by Moravian missionaries. It is among the oldest permanent Inuit settlements in Canada, most communities in Nunavut and Nunavik were settled in the 1950s or later. It is also the oldest continuously-inhabited community in Labrador after North West River. Nain has also been called "Nonynuke", "Nuninock" and "Nunaingoakh". The missionaries also established posts in Hopedale and areas in the north such as Hebron and Okak. The first Inuk to be baptized in Nain was a man named Kingminguse who took the name "Petrus" after conversion and then returned to southern Labrador where he used the name "Petrus Kingminguse" and died in 1800. Many Inuit in the south traveled to the Moravian posts in the north to be baptized and then returned to the south. The Moravians established posts only in northern areas since the Colony of Newfoundland hoped to colonize southern Labrador. In 1773, it was claimed that over 250 Inuit lived in Nain. In 1893, Nain's residents adopted patrilineal surnames at the request of Newfoundland courts. Many people took names of the missionaries (such as "Kohlmeister" and Townley") while others chose traditional names such as "Agnatok", "Kalleo", "Karpik", "Merkuratsuk", "Pamak" and "Saksagiak" or other European names such as "Abel" and "Obed". During the 19th-century, many people from southern parts of Labrador (mostly of mixed European and Inuit descent) and also from England and Newfoundland settled on islands near Nain and introduced names to the area such as "Ford", "Lyall", "Flowers", "Dicker" and "Webb". Most of these island settlements were resettled in the 1950s and 1960s and their inhabitants mostly settled in Nain. 6 Innu (Naskapi) families were recorded in Nain in 1945.

In 1959, residents of Hebron and Nutak resettled to Nain, Hopedale, Makkovik and Happy Valley-Goose Bay. The relocation had a huge impact on residents of Hebron and Nutak since the land in Nain (and other communities) was very different (resulting in difficulties when hunting) and many families were divided. Poverty and alcoholism has affected many of the families that originated in Hebron and Nutak. The provincial government apologized for the relocations in 2005. Many Inuit from Hebron were relocated to Nain by the provincial government after the Moravian mission at Hebron was closed under government pressure in 1959.

In 2016, the Google Street View imaging service uploaded images of various roads in Nain. Nain is one of the few communities in Labrador with images on the service.

Nunatsiavut

On December 1, 2005, Nain became the administrative capital of the autonomous region of Nunatsiavut which is the name chosen by the Labrador Inuit when the Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement Act was successfully ratified by the Canadian Government and the Inuit of Labrador. Hopedale, further south, is the legislative capital. The land claim cedes limited self-rule for the Nunatsiavut government in Northern Labrador and North-Eastern Quebec, granting title and aboriginal rights. The land that comprises the Nunatsiavut government is called the Labrador Inuit Settlement Area, or LISA, which amount to approximately 72,500 km2. The Inuit of Labrador do not own this land per se, but they do have special rights related to traditional land use as aboriginals. That said, the Labrador Inuit will own 15,000 km2 within the Settlement Area, officially designated as Labrador Inuit Lands. The Agreement also provides for the establishment of the Torngat Mountains National Park Reserve, consisting of about 9,600 km2 of land within LISA.

Geography
Nain is located on the north side of Unity Bay, a small inlet. The bay is open to the Atlantic Ocean but Nain's harbour is protected by numerous islands, the largest of which is Paul's Island. From Nain to the open Labrador Sea is approximately 50 km east through Strathcona Run.

Climate
Although located at the same latitude as Ketchikan on North America's west coast, or Moscow and southern Scandinavia in Europe, the influence of the Labrador Current gives Nain a marginal subarctic climate (Dfc) that is very close to a polar climate (ET), which creates the southernmost tree line in the northern hemisphere on the adjacent coast. The southernmost tundra is actually still in a zone of discontinuous permafrost rather than the much more typical continuous zone. The almost constant presence of the Icelandic Low means that precipitation, both as rain and snow, is exceptionally heavy for so consistently cold a climate in a low-lying area, with 421.0 cm of snow the average annual amount. The actual depth of snow on the ground averages 72 cm at the end of March. Occasionally, very warm weather occurs in summer when winds blow offshore.

Local government
The town is governed by a seven-member council composed of a mayor (or Angajukĸâk), deputy mayor (Deputy Angajukĸâk), and five councilors.

The Town Council formally changed its name from "Nain Town Council" to "Nain Inuit Community Government" in October 2006. The Nain Inuit Community Government meets once per month.

Educational facilities
Nain has one kindergarten to level III school, Jens Haven Memorial, which is split between two buildings. One building contains primary grades (kindergarten to grade 3), the other houses elementary and secondary grades (grade 4 to Level III).

There is also an adult basic education (ABE) program offered in town, delivered by Academy Canada. Academy Canada delivers this program in Nain and throughout Labrador in communities including Happy Valley - Goose Bay, Hopedale, Labrador City, Natuashish and Sheshatshiu.

Industry
Fishing is the main industry in Nain. Traditional hunting and trapping activities continue through the winter months after the fishing season has ended.

The Voisey's Bay nickel mine is located about 35 km southwest of Nain.

Demographics
In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Nain had a revised population of $1,204$ living in $350$ of its $380$ total private dwellings, a change of NaN% from its 2016 population of $1,125$. With a land area of 93.5 km2, it had a population density of in 2021.

Language (2016 census)

 * English: 810
 * Inuktitut: 295

Media
Nain has two radio services available.

CKOK-FM is a low-power (LP) re-broadcaster of CKHV broadcasting at 99.9 FM. Owned by the Okalakatiget Society, the station broadcasts a community radio format for the region's First Nations and Inuit communities.

As of the end of 2014, the station now streams online. It broadcasts live during local programming only.

There is also a local re-broadcaster of Happy Valley-Goose Bay's CBC Radio One feed, CBNZ. It operates on 740 AM.

Transport
Flights to Nain are at Nain Airport, and are available from Happy Valley-Goose Bay on Air Borealis (part of PAL Airlines).

Between mid-June and mid-November (pending ice conditions), the ferry MV Kamutik W, operated by the Newfoundland and Labrador Government, provides weekly service from Goose Bay along the Atlantic Coast, with stops in Rigolet, Makkovik, Postville, Hopedale and Natuashish. Nain is the northernmost stop on the route; the ferry stays docked at Nain for about three hours before beginning its southbound route.

Talk:Miriam Margolyes

Stuff
I just noticed information from previous versions--deleted by accident? Quill 23:27, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * does Margolyes hold an OBE?
 * did she do voice over work on Mulan?

 * According to IMDB, she does hold an OBE and she work on Mulan (as the voice of "Matchmaker")

Blackadder role
In Blackadder (the second series) she didn't play a Spanish Infanta, but Blackadder's puritan aunt Lady Whiteadder. They went to see Blackadder in order to talk of his inheritance. They would only eat turnip and drink water. In one quote when offered a chair she declared, "You have chairs? Wicked child, chairs are an invention of Satan. In our house Nathanial (her husband) sits on a spike. I sit on Nathanial: two spikes would be an Extravagance."

Removal of 'Sexy Sonia: Leaves from My School Girl Notebook '
The following was included in her Filmography:

Rating
I've rated this article as a C class for the LGBT project, nearly at B. Seems to cover the important points, and it well organised. Needs to fill in some of the gaps in citations. The discussion of her work seems to be a little random (or recentism?) - are they her "best" roles? "most aclaimed" "most famous"? Some quotes or cites from critics might clear it up. Is the OBE true?

The article vaguely says in the middle of credits for the 1990’s that “around this time” she voiced the Caramel Rabbit; she may have done, but that misses the fact that she’s played the role since the Eighties (according to the Wikipedia article on the chocolate bar),and a YouTube search found an advert with her voice from 1980.

Drug smugglers
More stuff - her house was (unbeknownst to her) abused by drug smugglers to helicopter drugs across the Channel. Someone decide if it's notable. TGCP (talk) 13:30, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Yes, I saw her recount this on The Graham Norton Show and I think it is notable. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:36, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Nationality
From WP:CONTEXTBIO: "The opening paragraph should usually provide context for the activities that made the person notable. In most modern-day cases this will be the country of which the person is a citizen, national or permanent resident". Margolyes is a citizen and part-time resident in Australia so "Australia" should be included in her nationality. Any thoughts? Burrobert (talk) 12:41, 18 July 2020 (UTC)

Monkey
Where is the evidence of her doing 'most of the supporting female roles in Monkey?' I live in Australia and never heard her voice - so what did she do? The Wikipedia page doesn't say what she did either, and if Tripitaka is credited to another female role, then she did bit parts and should state that (in the UK version). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.170.64.73 (talk • contribs) 11:38, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Indeed that claim (along with "She also worked with the theatre company Gay Sweatshop and provided voiceovers in the Japanese TV series The Water Margin (credited as Mirium Margolyes")) has no supporting source(s). I see she is listed at the Monkey (TV series) article as one the UK dub actors, but again with no source(s). Unless it can be sourced here it should be removed, or at least tagged as unsourced. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 11:51, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

B Class?
Seriously? The whole career section is a series of one-line paragraphs: in 2014 she did X, in 2015 she appeared in Y, in 2017 she did Z. This all needs to be rendered in reasonable prose, in a series of themed para.s KJP1 (talk) 01:37, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Nationality redux
What is her nationality and why are so many edits to her bio related to this issue? As mentioned in one of my edits, policy says to use the word "and" in the case of dual citizenship. See the Arnold Schwarzenegger example under "Nationality examples" at Manual_of_Style/Biography. The question then is what are the two parts that should be joined by "and". We know that one of them is "Australian". What is the other one? Burrobert (talk) 06:56, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Here is a footnote from the policy mentioned above:
 * There is no categorical preference between describing a person as British rather than as English, Scottish, or Welsh. Decisions on which label to use should be determined through discussions and consensus. The label must not be changed arbitrarily. To come to a consensus, editors should consider how reliable sources refer to the subject, particularly UK reliable sources, and whether the subject has a preferred nationality by which they identify. Burrobert (talk) 06:59, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
 * My issue is with mixing ethnic identity (English) and nationality in the same sentence, hence my restructuring of the sentence for clarification. She only took on Australian citizenship late in life and has only been a part-time resident, and it can hardly be described as part of her identity. Very little of her career has been in Australia either, unlike the examples given such as Schwarzenegger or Lorre. Any other nationality is much simpler because they don't include separate countries and identities, as the UK does. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 07:51, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
 * p.s. Having said that, I'm happy to leave the English out completely rather than have it confuse the issue. Her ethnicity is mixed through parentage, although she is culturally English. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 07:55, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I can't comment on the notion of "ethnic identity" as it applies to the British Isles. The except from policy above seems to treat "English" as a nationality. I consider that the description should either be "English and Australian" or "British and Australian" depending on how reliable sources describe her. Either one is fine with me. Her connection to Australia over around 30 years is fairly clear from her film, television and stage appearances. The BLP noticeboard may be a good place at which to ask for more opinions. Burrobert (talk) 13:00, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Or perhaps "national identity" is a better term, considering that there are so many ethnicities within each. English is not a nationality in the sense that there is no English citizenship. The UK is the political entity that issues passports, etc.; however, many English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish people identify strongly with their national identity as such.
 * I'm not seeing much Australian in her filmography, and most British/English people would hardly be aware of her Australian citizenship, as in this recent Vogue article and here. In this 2020 article she says "We are very keen to come to Australia. But I don’t know if I would actually fully emigrate...". Her partner is Australian but lives in Amsterdam. Upon receiving citizenship here, "she said she had been visiting Down Under for decades and had always loved the place".
 * However, I'm happy to defer to majority opinion re interpretation of these wiki guidelines, so by all means ask at the BLP noticeboard. We also need to consider note a) on that page. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 08:57, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Fritz Wunderlich

Friedrich "Fritz" Karl Otto Wunderlich (26 September 1930 – 17 September 1966) was a German lyric tenor, famed for his singing of the Mozart repertory and various lieder. He died in an accident aged 35.

Biography
Wunderlich was born in Kusel in the Palatinate, Germany. His mother was a violinist and his father was a choirmaster. For a short time, the family kept the inn "Emrichs Bräustübl" (Emrich's Brewing Cottage). Fritz's father lost his job due to pressure imposed upon him by local Nazis, in addition to suffering from a severe battlefield injury. He died by suicide when Fritz was five years old.

Fritz mastered several instruments while still a schoolboy and when he entered the Hochschule für Musik Freiburg in 1950, his principal study was the horn. Then the singing teacher Margarethe von Winterfeldt discovered and trained his voice.

Wunderlich was soon noted as a brilliant young tenor, especially in Mozartian roles, but he later expanded his reach to the full range of the lyric tenor repertoire.

He occasionally sang and recorded minor Wagner roles such as the steersman in Der fliegende Holländer, Walther von der Vogelweide in Tannhäuser, and the shepherd in Tristan und Isolde. He sang and recorded the role of the Italian Tenor in Der Rosenkavalier.

Recordings
It was the fashion during Wunderlich's career for many German theatres to perform operas in the local rather than original language. Therefore, most of his recordings of the Italian operatic repertoire are sung in German, including Verdi's La traviata and Rossini's The Barber of Seville. (He sang his recording of the Verdi Requiem in distinctly Germanic Latin.) Wunderlich achieved the highest distinction within the German repertory. Of special importance is the 1964 recording of Mozart's The Magic Flute, conducted by Karl Böhm, in which Wunderlich gave a critically acclaimed performance as Tamino, opposite sopranos Evelyn Lear as Pamina and Roberta Peters as the Queen of the Night and baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau in the role of Papageno. There is also a live performance of The Magic Flute recorded in 1960 at the Salzburg Festival, and several recordings as Belmonte in Die Entführung aus dem Serail. Recordings also exist of lesser-known Mozart operas such as Zaide and La finta giardiniera

Wunderlich's crystal-clear voice, exquisitely precise diction, and intelligent but passionate interpretation also led him to impressive renditions of the lieder cycles of Schubert and Schumann with pianist Hubert Giesen, who was also his artistic mentor. His famous recording of Schumann's Dichterliebe remains a gold standard of this genre. Many tenors since have emulated Wunderlich's interpretation of this cycle.

Another notable recording he left is J. S. Bach's Christmas Oratorio, with fellow singers Gundula Janowitz, Christa Ludwig, and Franz Crass, conducted by Karl Richter. Also he is the tenor on Herbert von Karajan's recording of Beethoven's Missa Solemnis, with Gundula Janowitz, Christa Ludwig, and Walter Berry. He recorded an album of pre-Bach sacred songs, featuring music of Schütz, Telemann, Buxtehude, and other less well-known composers. With Christa Ludwig he recorded Gustav Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde with the Philharmonia Orchestra under Otto Klemperer.

At the time of his death, he had been recording Haydn's The Creation, with the Berlin Philharmonic and the Wiener Singverein under Herbert von Karajan with other soloists Christa Ludwig, Gundula Janowitz, Walter Berry and Fischer-Dieskau. Wunderlich had completed recording his arias, but Werner Krenn was hired to record the recitatives. Several recorded live performances of Wunderlich singing the whole part, under Karajan, survive.

Numerous anthology albums of him singing arias from opera and operetta are available.

Available videos include a full-length performance (in German) as Count Almaviva in The Barber of Seville (with Hermann Prey, Erika Köth and Hans Hotter), and a recital of operatic arias.

Death
Wunderlich sang at the 1966 Salzburg Festival, but two weeks later his career was cut short by an accident while he was on a hunting holiday. He fell from a stairway in a country house owned by bass Gottlob Frick in Oberderdingen near Maulbronn after tripping on a loose shoelace, fracturing his skull. He died at the University Clinic of Heidelberg just nine days short of his 36th birthday and a few weeks before his scheduled debut at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City as Don Ottavio in Mozart's Don Giovanni.

Wunderlich is buried in Munich's Waldfriedhof cemetery.

Sherston, Wiltshire

Sherston is a village and civil parish about 5 mi west of Malmesbury in Wiltshire, England. The parish is bounded to the north by the county boundary with Gloucestershire, and to the southeast by the Fosse Way, a Roman road. The parish includes the hamlets of Easton Town, immediately east of Sherston; Pinkney, further east along the Malmesbury road; and Willesley, to the north.

The infant River Avon passes Sherston, Easton Town and Pinkney, on its way to Malmesbury. The parish lies within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

History
The Fosse Way, a major Roman road, passes nearby and forms the southeastern boundary of the modern parish. A Romano-British farmhouse from around 350 was discovered at Vancelettes Farm, north of Sherston village. The earliest surviving record of Sherston, then called Scorranstone, is an Anglo-Saxon document of 896.

In 1016, a battle between Cnut the Great and a West Saxon army led by King Edmund Ironside on the hills around Sherston may have involved a local hero known as Rattlebone; his name is celebrated in a local pub, The Rattlebone Inn. The parish church was built or rebuilt in the 12th century, and at some point a borough was laid out south of the church, with a broad market place where a weekly market was held from 1241 or earlier.

In 1511 a fire destroyed most of the buildings. Later in that century Sherston had two inns, the Swan and the Angel; there was much rebuilding in the 17th century. Industry came to the village in 1872 when a silk mill was opened by Joseph Davenport and Sons, weaving silks and ribbons, and later cotton; the mill closed in 1922. For a while after the Second World War, the Plant Engineering Co of Birmingham had a factory in the former silk mill.

Most of Sherston village was designated as a Conservation Area in 1973.

Sherston Software, makers of educational games, was established in 1984 and continued in business in the village until 2015.

Pinkney was also called Sherston Parva, meaning Little Sherston. The Ordnance Survey map from the 1890s has "Great Sherston" and "Sherston Parva or Pinkney"; by 1951 Great Sherston had become Sherston but both names were still shown for the smaller place.

Landowners
The Estcourt family of Pinkney were influential at Malmesbury in the 17th century, for a time holding the post of high steward of the borough. Notable members included Sir Thomas Estcourt (died 1683), and his son Sir Thomas Estcourt (died 1702). The latter's son, also Thomas, died in 1704 and the estate passed to his sister Elizabeth, who in 1709 married Richard Creswell (1688–1743), from a family of Shropshire landowners: she brought to the marriage the manors of Sherston, Malmesbury and Norton. Their son Thomas Estcourt Cresswell (1712–1788), seated at Pinkney Park, was returned to parliament for Wootton Bassett; there is a monument to him in the parish church.

Governance
The civil parish elects a parish council. It is in the area of Wiltshire Council unitary authority, which performs most significant local government functions.

An electoral ward with the same name exists, consisting of the parishes of Luckington, Sherston, Sopworth, Easton Grey, Norton, St Paul Malmesbury Without, and Brokenborough. The population of the ward at the 2011 census was 4,822.

Religious sites
The Church of England parish church, the Grade I listed Church of the Holy Cross, dates from the 12th century and has a high tower which was rebuilt in 1733. Nikolaus Pevsner called the church "impressive" in his Buildings of England volume.

A Congregational church was licensed at Cliff Road in 1825. It remained in use until c. 2013 and was sold for residential use. A Primitive Methodist chapel was opened at Grove Lane in 1851, and became Sherston Methodist Church in 1932 after the union of the Primitive Methodists with the Wesleyan Methodists. The church is still in use.

Notable buildings
Sherston village has two groups of Grade II* listed buildings. On the High Street, Old Swan House and numbers 19 and 21 comprise the former Swan Inn, from the late 16th century. Court House in Court Street and the adjoining houses at 1 and 3 Cliff Road were rebuilt c. 1680; for a time part of the ground floor of Court House served as the village shop.

Other listed buildings on the High Street include the former Angel Hotel, which has a 16th-century core and a twin-gabled addition of 1648.

At Pinkney, the large 19th-century Pinkney Park has been demolished, although still standing are the 17th-century granary and 1791 coach house. Further north, Pinkney Court is a farmhouse of c.1600 which was remodelled for Sir Thomas Estcourt around 1680; it has a five-bay front and is described by Julian Orbach (updating Pevsner) as "a lovely group with its outbuildings".

In the north of the parish, Willesley House is probably a medieval hall, rebuilt in 1583 and re-fronted in the late 17th century or early 18th.

Schools
Members of the Congregational chapel built a British School Room at Cliff Road in 1844. Its pupils were transferred to the National School in 1895 and the building has served various community purposes; in 2015 it was a meeting room and club room.

A National School was opened near the Rattlebone Inn in 1846. It became a Church of England school and was extended in 1895. Children of all ages were educated until 1954 when it became a junior school. Growth in pupil numbers led to the building of a new school on the outskirts of the village, which was opened in 2005. The old school was bought by the parish council in 2011 and is home to shops and businesses, including the Post Office Stores.

Amenities
Every year, on the Saturday closest to 14 July, a carnival is held. The main attraction is a boules tournament and a music evening with local bands.

Sherston has a football team, a cricket team and a Scout troop. The village has a shop and post office, a hotel/cafe (the Angel Cafe), another cafe (Lucy Toms), one pub: the Rattlebone Inn and an Indian Restaurant called The Bridge on the site of the old Carpenters Arms. Another pub, the Holford Arms, is in the extreme northwest of the parish at Knockdown, Gloucestershire.

Notable people
George Strong (1833–1888), an agricultural worker who was awarded the Victoria Cross for bravery during the Crimean War, settled in Sherston after the war and is buried in an unmarked grave in the churchyard.

In the 1970s and 1980s Sherston was the home of eccentric socialite Lady Edith Foxwell, and her friend the soul singer Marvin Gaye was a frequent visitor. Until his death in 2002, the actor John Thaw lived nearby with his wife, the actress Sheila Hancock.

Joan Saura

Joan Saura i Laporta is a Spanish former politician in Catalonia for Initiative for Catalonia Greens (ICV). He was born in Barcelona, Catalonia, in 1950. He studied at the Escola d'Enginyeria Tècnica (Technical Engineering School), where he specialized in Industrial Chemistry. In the beginning, he was devoted to the trade union and the neighbourhood: he enrolled into the Workers' Commissions (CCOO) in 1973, while he was working for the electrics company FECSA, and cofounded the La Florida Neighbourhood Association, in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, 1974.

Municipal policy
He became town councillor in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat for the Unified Socialist Party of Catalonia (PSUC) in the first democratic local elections in 1979, where he participated in the formation of the government, and remained a councillor until 1991.

He also chaired (from 1983 to 1987) the Public Transport commission in Barcelona.

Parliament of Catalonia
He was elected for the third and fourth Legislatures (1988 to 1995) as deputy for Barcelona in the Catalan Parliament for the Iniciativa per Catalunya Verds (ICV) party. He was the spokesperson of his party's group and became its president in 1993.

In this Parliament he has held several positions, including membership in the Economy, Finances and Budget commission, in the Industry commission, Territorial Politics as well as various others.

Congress of the Deputies
On 3 March 1996 he was elected to the Spanish Congress of Deputies representing Barcelona Province and was re-elected at the subsequent election on 12 March 2000, where he was involved in several Parliamentary Commissions (such as Environment and Defense).

As a deputy, Joan Saura promoted several initiatives, such as a rise in the minimum wage, a fight against workplace abuses by employers, same-sex marriage and the Tobin tax. Additionally, he was strongly opposed to other ones: the Plan Hidrológico Nacional (PHN), the reform of the labour market law, the quality in teaching law, the political parties' law, the tax reform, the Prestige affair and the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

President of ICV
Within ICV, he served as vice-president from 1993 as well as the head of political relations with Spain.

At the 6th Assembly of the party in November 2000, he was elected as ICV President. In June 2002 the party formed an electoral pact with United Left, and Els Verds-Esquerra Ecologista.

A Generalitat candidate
On 25 May 2002 he was chosen as the candidate for the presidency of the Generalitat de Catalunya by the ICV-EUiA coalition. For that reason, he set up in 2002 a Participative Process and the "What do you think?" campaign, to define the axis of the party's program based on civil participation.

In the elections of 2003, his party won 9 seats in the Catalan Parliament and he, after few months of negotiation, became Minister of Institutional Relations and Participation.

Talk:Castilla–La Mancha

Article name
I question the placement of this page at Castilla-La Mancha rather than Castilla-La Mancha. I believe that even in English, the latter is more common. -- Jmabel | Talk 23:38, Oct 16, 2004 (UTC)
 * I agree (six years later) and i propose to boldly change this, I find no abundance of English language sources calling it Castilla-La Mancha. Jezhotwells (talk) 03:09, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Here are two pretty authoritative sources using Castile-La Mancha, though. See: Official Spanish Tourism Website and Encyclopaedia Britannica — Preceding unsigned comment added by Big Wang (talk • contribs) 03:05, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

If the article name of the autonomous comunity with similar name is Castile and León, why not this one Castile-La Mancha? --Juanpablofrias (talk) 11:32, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

Dialect
I'm curious as to whether La Mancha has it's own dialect of Spanish. I haven't been able to find internet info on this, though I have on most of the other Spanish provinces and their dialects.Gringo300 18:10, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The dialect is Castilian--the "standard" spanish language

The dialect is a transition between the spanish of old-castile and the spanish of Andalucia. This is a good page: http://www.elquijote.com/dictionaryP.php/ch/modismos/PHPSESSID/983a326b6bf20ad3e076604e3d26db2e

Uncited population change
Uncited population change. No idea whether this is a correction, vandalism, or what. I cited number based on a census would be good. - Jmabel | Talk 17:05, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Don Quixote takes place in La Mancha, but we don't know exactly where it was written
Cervantes lived in Valladolid and Madrid in 1604, when the book was edited. Given the uncertainty about the period which took Cervantes to write Don Quixote, is simply more approached to reality, La Mancha is the place where the story takes place, at least, fundamentally.--2deseptiembre (talk) 14:04, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Material brought over from es-wiki article
Section was previously called "Bad edit but may have good material"

I reverted this edit. It was either machine translation or very badly written English, replacing the bulk of the article. From an editor with no prior edits on en-wiki. However, it does look like there was some good material there, and someone may want to mine it (and rewrite it in proper English). - Jmabel | Talk 06:07, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

I've started on this, and will do more.

The Spanish-language paragraph on the economy is not very coherent; I brought over what I could follow. What it said was

"La agricultura y la ganadería sigue siendo predominante en los municipios castellanos-manchegos pero la industria está cada vez más presente, por ejemplo pueblos como Sonseca (industria textil, madera y mazapán) que crea unos 2000 empleos anuales más los casi 30.000 que ya dispone en una de las áreas industriales más importantes de la comunidad, Villacañas (sector de la puerta) o ciudades como Almansa que tiene una industria del calzado de más de un siglo. La industria derivada de actividades agrarias también está creciendo en los últimos años. Además, se está potenciando en los últimos tiempos el turismo, con el crecimiento de casas rurales o la Ruta de Don Quijote entre otras acciones."

Can anyone make sense of those statistics? Clearly Sonseca (population 11,178) and Villacañas (pop. 10,928) are not employing 30,000 people in industry with a growth of 2,000 jobs a year. I can't make head or tail of what exactly those numbers refer to. And they are totally uncited, not usually OK for statistics, so I left that bit out. - Jmabel | Talk 08:26, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Another oddity: for some of the riversheds, we have information about what percentage of the region they drain; for others, what percentage of the river's total watershed falls within the region. You would think we'd want both for each river. Anyway, I'm translating what's there, but this deserves further work afterward. - Jmabel | Talk 06:28, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

 * I would say that many of the statistics here are a bit of a mess, and someone would do well to go back to sources and try to come up with parallel statistical data for things that might merit comparisons. - Jmabel | Talk 23:27, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

In general, I'm buffaloing through, translating the material from the Spanish-language article, with minor edits (mostly for concision). - Jmabel | Talk 06:28, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

I've been bringing over citations from es-wiki as I go. Most are online citations using "cite web", and it appears that at least some are dead links. Unfortunately, they all seem to provide only URL, title, and accessdate. Someone should really to through and add the names of the sites from which these are drawn, and see if we can find current links for the dead links. Also, a lot of the material in the article is uncited. - Jmabel | Talk [revised 04:21, 20 November 2009 (UTC)]

There is probably now some overlinking in the article, because es-wiki links far more liberally than we do. I've been trying to eliminate overlinks as I translate, but I'm sure I've missed many. - Jmabel | Talk 02:44, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

I believe I've now brought over pretty much everything substantive from the es-wiki article except for the section on gastronomy. Do people think that section is worth bringing over? It seems to me to be a bit disproportionate; I'd be inclined to do something shorter and maybe a separate article on the cuisine of the region. - Jmabel | Talk 04:21, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

19th century's flag for Castile-la Mancha
in the middle of the 19th century it was the first time in history in Spain, in which there were political initiatives, talks and works to make regional (or autonomic) governments. In La Mancha there were these works and talks too; in those days the region was officialy called "New Castile", coming from the historical kingdom of Toledo. A group of Manchegan (or Toledan) regionalists designed a flag for their region, which was: parted in 4 equal squares (or rectangles). The squares were of colors red, white, sky blue. I cant remember the 4th colour, excuse me. does anybody know anything about this; it is interesting from a historical point of view. Im very sorry that i cant remember the 4th colour--- I have written this information in the Wikipedias in Spanish and French languages, but it has been deleted at once... why ?--213.37.30.13 (talk) 14:26, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Castile-La Mancha → Castilla-La Mancha – This is a semi-translation that has essentially no currency in any language. Don't mistake the subject of this article as the historical Castile; this is a department/state of Spain that sees relatively little English-language coverage and almost always is called "Castilla-La Mancha" in our language. I searched Google News alongside "Spain" to weed out as many Spanish-language results as possible; several seeped through anyway, but the general point is clear; there are a ton of English-language results for that title, and four for the title we currently have. One of those four is us! Castilla-La Mancha versus our current weird title, and I would hazard a guess that those three results on that page only called the department "Castile-La Mancha" because of us. The common name for the governmental province in English in the Spanish name, Castilla-La Mancha. Red Slash 00:00, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment: I may raise a parallel move at Castille and León, but that situation is probably a bit more complicated because there are multiple official names for that province based on the multiple languages spoken there (this province is basically just Spanish-speaking). Anyway, have a good day! Red Slash 00:02, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Support. A quick glance at other Wikipedias shows that the usual practice is to always translate Castile to the native tongue, and that includes languages of the area - Catalan, Aragonese, Portuguese, French, and most other languages all translate it.  That said, while I'd normally be inclined to oppose since Castile is pretty well known as such, the overwhelming drubbing Castile-La Mancha receives in GNews / GScholar makes me think that for this province at least, Castilla is apparently used more often.  (I'm skeptical about moving Castile & Leon though, as that pair is extremely well known as such, and we're breaking consistency no matter what.) SnowFire (talk) 01:57, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

Brighton, New Zealand

Brighton is a small seaside town within the city limits of Dunedin on New Zealand's South Island. It is located 20 kilometres southwest from the city centre on the Southern Scenic Route.

History
The area around modern Brighton was not the site of permanent settlement by pre-colonial māori, but was on their regular trails from their homes on Otago Peninsula to their traditional hunting grounds. Archaeological evidence suggests that the area around Brighton was the site of seal and sea lion hunting, as well as hunting of moa. Stone tool making may have also taken place around the area.

European settlement begn in the 1860s. The town was named by an early resident, Hugh Williams, after Brighton in England. Early industries included coal mining, with lignite being plentiful at nearby Ocean View. The town was also a service town for the local farming community. During the early 20th century, the town was a popular resort for people from nearby Dunedin, with several guest houses. With increased motorised transport, the town became a commuter settlement and day-trip destination after World War II.

Geography
Brighton is connected by coastal road with the Dunedin commuter settlement of Waldronville to the northeast (and from there to Dunedin itself) and with Taieri Mouth to the southwest. The settlement of Ocean View lies immediately to the east of Brighton, separated from it by a large bluff (simply known as "Big Rock") which juts towards the ocean to the northeast of Brighton Beach. The coast road winds around this headland on its entry to Brighton from Dunedin.

The town faces a small bay which includes a broad sheltered beach, Brighton Beach, and other beaches extend from here, north and east to Waldronville Lagoon and south and west to Taieri Mouth. They make the area popular for summer day trips from Dunedin. At the southern end of Brighton Beach is the mouth of the Otokia Creek, a small stream which has its sources 10 km to the southwest in the coastal hills which separate the coast from the Taieri Plains. A small reserve and walkway links the town's main road with the mouth of the Otokia Creek. The reserve contains abundant birdlife, including oystercatchers and spoonbills.

Demographics
Brighton covers 3.40 km2 and had an estimated population of as of  with a population density of  people per km2.

Brighton had a population of 1,473 at the 2018 New Zealand census, an increase of 27 people (1.9%) since the 2013 census, and a decrease of 36 people (−2.4%) since the 2006 census. There were 615 households, comprising 756 males and 717 females, giving a sex ratio of 1.05 males per female. The median age was 44.2 years (compared with 37.4 years nationally), with 264 people (17.9%) aged under 15 years, 213 (14.5%) aged 15 to 29, 768 (52.1%) aged 30 to 64, and 228 (15.5%) aged 65 or older.

Ethnicities were 93.5% European/Pākehā, 10.4% Māori, 1.6% Pasifika, 2.9% Asian, and 2.2% other ethnicities. People may identify with more than one ethnicity.

The percentage of people born overseas was 15.9, compared with 27.1% nationally.

Although some people chose not to answer the census's question about religious affiliation, 59.5% had no religion, 28.7% were Christian, 0.2% had Māori religious beliefs, 0.4% were Hindu, 0.2% were Buddhist and 2.4% had other religions.

Of those at least 15 years old, 243 (20.1%) people had a bachelor's or higher degree, and 240 (19.9%) people had no formal qualifications. The median income was $34,400, compared with $31,800 nationally. 186 people (15.4%) earned over $70,000 compared to 17.2% nationally. The employment status of those at least 15 was that 645 (53.3%) people were employed full-time, 204 (16.9%) were part-time, and 39 (3.2%) were unemployed.

Education
Big Rock Primary School is a full primary school serving years 1 to 8 with a roll of students as of  The school was created when Brighton and Ocean View schools merged in 2008.

Talk:Student Union at the Royal Institute of Technology

I'd like to dispute the new name of this article. The English translation of Tekniska Högskolans Studentkår is in fact The Student Union at the Royal Institute of Technology and nothing else, as (perhaps implicitly) decided by the Student Union Board. The original name of the university is, in this matter, irrelevant in my opinion. If no one disagrees with me I will change the title back again in a week or so.

I'm also a bit unsure of the meaning of the second sentence "While the school carries the epithet of being a royal institution, the students' union is a separate entity and specifically disallowed such practice". What practice are we talking about here exactly? --Albin
 * The practice: 1. only (central) governmental bodies, or 2. private bodies having officially received royal sanction. Although 1. has largely fell out of practice, this is why KTH has its name. 2 corresponds to the Royal Academies. Thus the frequent use of the arachaic-sounding misspelling "Konglig" in student circles, to circumvene this. But all this should not affect the translation of THS into English.

White's butterfly sign
This is a bogus article by an anonymous user. The verifiable references are to one of two different copies of a Newsweek article, but those do not refer to "White's butterfly sign" but rather to a "'white butterfly' pattern" that is, a white-colored area on an X-ray.

There is no "White's butterly sign"; a "butterfly pattern" may sometimes be used to describe the appearance of bilateral pneumothorax on chest x-ray, but most of the time "butterfly pattern" is used to refer to "bilateral fluffy infiltrates" on a CXR, an entirely different condition; it's wrong to describe bilateral pneumothorax as "exploded lungs" (the lungs collapse rather than "explode"); the description of pleura is not quite right; and, as noted, the "references" given in the article don't actually support anything in it. -- Nunh-huh 00:14, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Squared-circle postmark

A squared-circle postmark is a type of postmark that surrounds the circle of town and date with a set of concentric arcs forming a square outline.

They were introduced in the United Kingdom in late 1879 as an alternative to the duplex cancels, which were somewhat larger and more cumbersome to use. The additional arcs constituted the "killer" that marked the stamp as having been used. They declined in use from the 1910s, when new types of cancelling devices became available, and disappeared by the 1930s.

Three major types were used:
 * Type 1, the first used, has three arcs between the circle and outer corner triangle
 * Type 2 has two arcs, and heavier corner triangles
 * Type 3 has one arc

In all cases, the name of the town or village was curved along the inside top of the inner circle, with a time of day (plaintext or coded, using several systems), and date underneath.

The squared circles came to be used in hundreds of towns in England and Wales (though not Scotland or Ireland), resulting in a total of about 4,000 distinct types. They were also used in a number of colonies of the British Empire. Similar postmarks were also used in Italy at around the same period.

Today some postal authorities still use this type or similar markings:

 * Hongkong Post, a former British colonial, continues to use this marking.
 * Canada Post used this mark and continues to use it for first day cover cancellations.

Easton Grey

Easton Grey is a small village and civil parish in north Wiltshire, England, on the county boundary with Gloucestershire. The village lies just south of the B4040 road between Malmesbury and Sherston, about 3.5 mi west of Malmesbury. The Church of England parish church has a 15th-century tower and was rebuilt in 1836.

Geography
The Sherston branch of the upper Bristol Avon crosses the parish from west to east. The parish is within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

History
The Fosse Way Roman road forms the eastern boundary of the parish. Near where the Fosse Way crosses the river is the site of a large Romano-British roadside settlement, possibly with earlier origins; it includes a square earthwork enclosure within Whitewalls Wood.

The Domesday survey of 1086 recorded a small settlement called Estone with nine households and a mill. The later addition of the 'Grey' suffix may arise from a grant of the manor to John de Grey, Lord Wilton (d.1323).

The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland (1868) describes the village as small, and mentions an almshouse for six elderly women. The population of the parish peaked at over 600 around the middle of the 19th century but had declined to 326 by the 1901 census. The 20th century saw little change until numbers began to rise gradually in the 1980s, reaching 382 at the 2011 census.

The village has a 16th-century bridge over the Avon.

Parish church
The small parish church, which has no dedication, stands above the village near the Malmesbury-Sherston road. Its 15th-century roughcast west tower is described as humble by Pevsner; the rest is a rebuilding of 1836 to designs of William James, a Gloucestershire architect. In rubble stone with ashlar buttresses and stone slate roofs, the church has a nave, chancel and south porch; inside there is ribbed Gothic vaulting to the nave and chancel. The 1836 work was instigated by the vicar, William S. Birch, who also oversaw the building of a village school and (around 1830) a new vicarage. Most of the windows of the church were reworked later in the 19th century.

The font – a shallow bowl on a cylindrical pillar – is 13th-century. The pulpit is 17th-century, and there are wall monuments from 1680 and later in the chancel. The Gothic organ is from the early 19th century, while the box pews in the nave are from 1836. The three bells in the tower are said to be unringable; one is dated c.1399 and the others 1684.

The church was designated as Grade II* listed in 1959. Just outside the porch, a 1731 limestone chest tomb of the Adye family is in Rococo style with elaborate carving, and is Grade II* listed for its exceptional quality.

The benefice was united with Sherston in 1954, and consequently the vicarage at Easton Grey was sold. Today the parish is part of the Gauzebrook group of churches which is centred on Holy Cross Church, Sherston.

Easton Grey House
The country house known as Easton Grey House stands west of the church, overlooking the river and the village. Built after 1792 for Walter Hodges, the two-storey house has a five-bay south-east front, its central bay brought slightly forward under a broad pediment bearing the Parry-Hodges arms. The north-east front has a large semicircular porch on columns, built in the early 19th century, and attached to the north is a three-storey block of c.1880. Inside are fine chimney-pieces and a stone staircase with wrought iron railings.

By the 1880s the house was owned by Thomas Graham Smith, who in 1879 married Katherine Lucy Tennant (1860–1942, known as Lucy). She was a daughter of the wealthy industrialist Sir Charles Tennant, and a member – alongside three of her sisters – of the social circle known as The Souls; thus the house became one of the group's retreats. Lucy's sister Margot married H. H. Asquith in 1894, and the house was a favourite resort of her husband during his 1908–1916 premiership. One source states that the house is currently owned by Michael Green, co-founder of media company Carlton Communications, who retrained as a psychotherapist.

Gardens were made to the west of the house in the late 18th century, with an ornamental gateway, a loggia and a walled kitchen garden. These features were rearranged c.1880 when formal garden areas were added. The north lodge, single-storey with tall chimneys, is described as "very Victorian" by Orbach.

Other landmarks
On an elevated site in the village, Ruckley House is a two-storey 17th-century farmhouse which was extended in the 18th and early 20th centuries, and in 1953. A range of outbuildings includes a large barn which is probably also 17th-century.

In the east of the parish, on the Malmesbury road, is the site of Easton Grey Camp or 89 Working Camp, which held Italian prisoners-of-war during the Second World War, and German prisoners from 1945 to 1948. The site had a standard design, with rows of narrow wooden huts (some of them still standing) and redbrick buildings including a water tower; prisoners were required to work, mostly in local agriculture. Today the site is in mixed light industrial use and is also home to a pre-school and after-school childcare business.

Just beyond the eastern boundary of the parish, Whatley Manor – originally a farmhouse, greatly enlarged in the 1920s and 2001–3 – is operated as a hotel and Michelin-starred restaurant.

Local government
The parish is in the area of Wiltshire Council unitary authority, which performs all significant local government functions. Owing to its small population, there is no parish council; instead the first tier of local government is a parish meeting.

World Organisation Against Torture

The World Organisation Against Torture (Organisation Mondiale Contre la Torture; OMCT) is the world's largest coalition of non-governmental organisations fighting against arbitrary detention, torture, summary and extrajudicial executions, forced disappearances and other forms of violence. With more than 200 affiliated organisations in its SOS-Torture Network, the OMCT aims at accompanying, reinforcing and protecting anti-torture organisations in particular in erosive environments and provides a comprehensive system of support and protection for human rights defenders around the world. The global network consists of local, national and regional organisations, which share the goal of eradicating torture and fostering respect of human rights for all.

The OMCT's Prevention of Torture programme helps its members prevent and report torture by strengthening their capacity through the SOS-Torture network to use United Nations human rights mechanisms. The programme submits alternative reports to UN Committees in collaboration with local NGOs, provides support for individuals and organisations wishing to challenge torture practices in international legal fora and publishes a practical guide on international and regional conventional mechanisms relevant to torture. OMCT is also mainstreaming women's and children's issues into the UN human rights mechanisms.

On 4 October 2007, former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan became the new president of the OMCT Supporting Foundation.

Gerald Staberock has been Secretary General of the OMCT since 2011, and presently also serves as the Chair of the Board of the EU Human Rights Defenders Mechanism.

Activities
The OMCT contributes to UN activities through three main activities.

Reporting
The OMCT submits alternative reports to the UN Committee Against Torture (CAT), the Human Rights Committee (HRC) and the Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC), working with local NGOs. Reporting activities are designed to encourage national NGOs to report torture and follow up reports of torture through:
 * the participation of local NGOs in drafting alternative reports and actively including them in relevant Committees' sessions, with the possibility of a follow-up meeting in the field;
 * an integrated approach to questions relating to protection from torture and other ill-treatment of women and children, by involving organisations specialised in these issues in drafting alternative reports and in relevant Committees' sessions;
 * greater dissemination of reports and of the Conclusions and Recommendations of the Committees in English and in the preferred language of the relevant country, through the publication of the reports that have been submitted.

Legal support
The OMCT supports individuals and organisations wishing to challenge torture practices in international legal forums. Complaint mechanisms can be used to achieve a number of different objectives including: Many NGOs are not fully aware of how to use UN procedures to support their work in protecting victims from torture. The OMCT hopes to encourage and assist partner NGOs that are already active in the struggle against torture to present individual complaints and other relevant information to the CAT, the HRC, and the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW).
 * protection for victims or persons under threat;
 * obtaining reparations and compensation for victims;
 * putting pressure on governments to end impunity in specific cases; and
 * achieving changes in legislation and State practice which lead to serious human rights violations.

Practical guidance
The OMCT publishes a practical guide on international and regional conventional mechanisms relevant to torture. This Handbook is conceived as a tool for action. It addresses the practical needs of anybody using international mechanisms and bodies to challenge torture practices.

Easton Royal

Easton Royal is a village in the civil parish of Easton in Wiltshire, England, about 3 mi east of Pewsey and 5 mi south of Marlborough. The village was the location of Easton Priory from 1234 to 1536. The village mistakenly gained the Royal suffix in 1838 and the name Easton Royal has been in general use since the 1850s.

The parish is on the northeastern edge of Salisbury Plain, and near the eastern end of the Vale of Pewsey.

History
Easton Hill, in the south of the parish, carries prehistoric sites including a bowl barrow and a disc barrow.

The village stands on or near the likely route of the Roman road between Mildenhall and Old Sarum. From the 13th century the village was on the Marlborough-Salisbury road, until the 17th century when the road took a more eastward course through Burbage. Easton Priory, begun in 1234, was built next to the road in order to aid travellers.

By 1833 the village had a small National School, which was replaced by a new building in 1874. A large hall was added to the school in 2005.

In 1836 the vicar of Great Bedwyn mistakenly described Easton's benefice as royal; in the 1850s the village began to be called Easton Royal, and this name came into common usage. The name of the parish remains Easton.

The population of the parish peaked in the mid 19th century, with 532 recorded at the 1841 census. By 1881 the population had declined to 323, and there was a further slow decline until the number stabilised around 250 by the middle of the 20th century.

Early churches
Although Easton was not recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, one of the two churches of the king's large estate at Wootton may have stood here. By the late 12th century the church may have belonged to the abbey at La Trinité-du-Mont, Upper Normandy; part of the patronage was later given to Bradenstoke Priory. A dispute followed, and was resolved by the bishop of Salisbury in a decision ratified in 1246 which granted the church to the priory that had been founded at Easton c. 1234. The church was enlarged with a north chapel in 1322 and by 1323 was dedicated to St Mary. In 1369 the church was demolished and material taken to enlarge the priory church, which became the parish church.

Holy Trinity
In 1536 St Mary's church was reported to be in poor condition, and in 1591 Sir Edward Seymour replaced it with a new Church of England parish church. By 1763 this church was dedicated to the Holy Trinity. The nave, font and porch survive from 1591; 19th-century restoration included work by T.H. Wyatt in 1852–3, when a south vestry was added with a tower above, and the body of the church was extended westward by one bay.

The church was designated as Grade II* listed in 1988. The benefice was united with Milton Lilbourne in 1929, and in 1991 with Pewsey and Wootton Rivers. Today the parish is part of the Vale of Pewsey team of churches.

Local government
The civil parish of Easton elects a parish council. The parish is in the area of Wiltshire Council unitary authority, which is responsible for all significant local government functions.

Amenities
The primary school continues on the same site, now called Easton Royal Academy. There is a village hall at Easton Royal. A pub, the Bruce Arms, is in the west of the parish, close to the boundary with Milton Lilbourne.

Notable residents and benefactors

 * Several Esturmys, hereditary wardens of Savernake forest since the Norman Conquest, funded and were buried at Easton church; their monuments were later (c. 1590) moved to Great Bedwyn when the original church fell into disrepair. Named, amongst others, on a stone plaque erected in the church in 1950.
 * "Major" Sir John Wildman was captured here in 1655.
 * Duchess of Somerset, 1672, perhaps Lady Frances Devereux, the wife of William Seymour, 2nd Duke of Somerset and mother of Henry Seymour, Lord Beauchamp and John Seymour, 4th Duke of Somerset.
 * Edward Seymour of Easton, c. 1735 later Edward Seymour, 8th Duke of Somerset.
 * Dr David Herbert Llewellyn, surgeon of the CSS Alabama, was the son of the vicar and is commemorated in the church. He lost his life when the Alabama was sunk by USS Kearsarge in 1864.
 * Sir Henry Howarth Bashford (1880-1961) – historian of the village, who bequeathed land that is now the village recreation ground; commemorated by the village's first blue plaque at his former residence, the White House.
 * Nigel Stock (actor)

Mohammad Va'ez Abaee-Khorasani

Ayatollah Mohammad Va'ez Abaee-Khorasani (1940, Mashhad - October 13, 2004, Tehran) was an Iranian cleric and reformist politician. He was a representative of Mashhad in the Majlis of Iran from 2000 to 2004.

Early life
Born in Mashhad in a religious family, he studied Islamic sciences in Mashhad and then moved to Qom to continue his studies there. Because of his religious-political speeches, he was arrested by the Pahlavi government twice, the first time in 1972 when he was sentenced to a short jail time. But the second time, in 1973, he was exiled to Bandar Deylam and Nain for three years. Abaee-Khorasani restarted his political speeches in 1976, with other cleric colleagues of his, especially Sadegh Khalkhali, Mehdi Karroubi, and Mohammad Mousavi-Khoiniha.

Career
After the Iranian Revolution, Abaee-Khorasani's first governmental post was as the Sharia ruler in Ahwaz. Shortly after, he moved back to Qom to head the provincial branch of the Organization for Islamic Evangelization (saazmaan-e tablighaat-e eslaami), which sent clerics to the whole country for speeches during the holy Shi'a months of Muharram, Safar, and Ramadan, and also published periodicals, which sometimes contained critiques of extremist or conservative factions of the hawza.

While keeping the position in Qom, Abaee-Khorasani moved to Mashhad and was one of the Friday prayer Imams of the city for ten years, where he escaped an unsuccessful assassination attempt in 1994. He also represented the Khorasan province in the first Assembly of Experts.

Abaee-Khorasani moved to Qom again as the head of Mohammad Khatami's presidential campaign office in the city of Qom. The Qom campaign led to about 70% of the people of the city voting for the reformist Khatami, which was unexpected because of the supposedly conservative leanings of the citizens of the city. The local campaign team later became the founding members of the Society of Scholars and Teachers of Qom's Hawza (majma'-e mohaghgheghin va modarresin-e howze-ye elmiyye-ye ghom), the political organization of reformist clerics of the city.

When Khatami became president in 1997, he appointed Abaee-Khorasani as one of his advisors. Later, he was elected in 2000 in the parliamentary elections to represent the city of Mashhad, his birthplace, in the Majlis of Iran. He collected the most votes in the city. During his term there, he participated in the reformist candidates' sit-in in early 2004, amid his old blood and kidney disease. He also participated in the symbolic mass resignation of more than a hundred colleagues from the sixth Islamic Consultative Assembly.

Death
After a long physical illness, Abaee-Khorasani died on October 13, 2004, in the Khatam ol-Anbia Hospital. On October 16, he was buried in Qom, near the shrine of Fatima bint Musa ibn Jafar, the daughter of the seventh Shia Imam.

Oh, and FWIW, IMHO, the ones "missing" City Name, ST are good news, as I think the only capitalization from that form should be all lowercase city name, st--The former is more likely to be unintentionally linked to, and doesn't help search, while the latter does help search, and is unlikely to be linked to. Niteowlneils 01:31, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the feedback. Do you have a concrete suggestion on how to improve the list? Do you think I should not report missing "City Name, ST"? Maybe instead report missing "City name, st"?

Thomas Inskip, 1st Viscount Caldecote

Thomas Walker Hobart Inskip, 1st Viscount Caldecote, (5 March 1876 – 11 October 1947) was a British politician who served in many legal posts, culminating in serving as Lord Chancellor from 1939 until 1940. Despite legal posts dominating his career for all but four years, he is most prominently remembered for serving as Minister for Coordination of Defence from 1936 until 1939.

Background and education
Inskip was the son of James Inskip, a solicitor, by his second wife Constance Sophia Louisa, daughter of John Hampden. The Right Reverend James Inskip was his elder half-brother and Sir John Hampden Inskip, Lord Mayor of Bristol, his younger brother. He attended Clifton College from 1886 to 1894 and King's College, Cambridge, from 1894 to 1897. He joined Clifton RFC in 1895–96. In 1899 he was called to the Bar by the Inner Temple.

Political and legal career
Inskip became a King's Counsel in 1914. He served in the Intelligence Division from 1915 and from 1918 to 1919 worked at the Admiralty as head of the Naval Law branch. From 1920 to 1922, he served as Chancellor of the Diocese of Truro. In 1918 he entered Parliament as Member of Parliament (MP) for Bristol Central. He was first appointed Solicitor General in 1922 and would hold this post for the next six years, with one short interruption for the Labour government of 1924. In 1922 he was knighted.

A staunch Protestant, he first came to high attention when in 1927 he joined with the Home Secretary Sir William Joynson-Hicks in attacking the proposed new version of the Book of Common Prayer. The law required Parliament to approve such revisions, normally regarded as a formality, but when the Prayer Book came before the House of Commons Inskip argued strongly against its adoption, for he felt it strayed far from the Protestant principles of the Church of England. The debate on the Prayer Book is regarded as one of the most eloquent ever seen in the Commons, and resulted in the rejection of the Prayer Book. A revised version was submitted in 1928 but rejected again. However, the Church Assembly then declared an emergency, and used this as a pretext to use the new Prayer Book for many decades afterwards.

In 1928 Inskip was promoted to Attorney General, which post he held until the following year's general election – in which he lost his Bristol seat. When Ramsay MacDonald formed his National Government in 1931, Inskip, who had been elected in a by-election for Fareham in February that year, returned to the role of Solicitor General but the following year a vacancy occurred and he once more resumed his work as Attorney General. He was sworn of the Privy Council in 1932. In 1935 he prosecuted the 26th Baron de Clifford for manslaughter, which was the last ever criminal trial of a peer in the House of Lords.

Despite an exclusively legal track record, on 13 March 1936 Inskip became the first Minister for Coordination of Defence. His appointment to this particular office was highly controversial. Winston Churchill (who said he "had the advantage of being little known and knowing nothing about military subjects") had long campaigned for such an office and when its creation was announced, most expected Churchill to be appointed. When Inskip was named, one famous reaction was that "This is the most cynical appointment since Caligula made his horse a consul". John Gunther, who described Inskip in 1940 as "the sixty-three-year-old man of mystery", reported the "cruel story" that Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin wanted to appoint someone "'even less brilliant than himself'". Collin Brooks castigated Inskip in his diary as "a second-rate Attorney General." His appointment is now regarded as a sign of caution by Baldwin who did not wish to appoint someone like Churchill, because it would have been interpreted by foreign powers as a sign of the United Kingdom preparing for war. Baldwin anyway wished to avoid taking onboard such a controversial and radical minister as Churchill.

Inskip's tenure as Minister for Coordination of Defence remains controversial, with some arguing that he did much to push Britain's rearmament before the outbreak of the Second World War, but others arguing he was largely ineffectual, although his ministry "had no real powers and little staff". In early 1939 he was replaced by the former First Sea Lord, Admiral of the Fleet Lord Chatfield, and moved to become Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs. At the outbreak of war in 1939 he was raised to the peerage as Viscount Caldecote, of Bristol in the County of Gloucester, and made Lord Chancellor, but in May 1940 he once more became Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs to make room for the marginalising of Sir John Simon in the new war ministry of Winston Churchill. After leaving ministerial office Inskip served as Lord Chief Justice of England from 1940 until 1946. As of, he remains the last Lord Chief Justice to have held a ministerial office before his appointment.

Inskip was referred to in the book Guilty Men by Michael Foot, Frank Owen and Peter Howard (writing under the pseudonym 'Cato'), published in 1940 as an attack on public figures for their failure to re-arm and their appeasement of Nazi Germany.

Family
Lord Caldecote married Lady Augusta Helen Elizabeth, daughter of David Boyle, 7th Earl of Glasgow and widow of Charles Lindsay Orr-Ewing, in 1914. He died in October 1947, aged 71, and was succeeded by his son, Robert (Robin) Andrew in the viscountcy. Lady Caldecote died in May 1967, aged 90.
