Denis Gallagher

Denis Gallagher (23 November 1922 – 3 November 2001) was an Irish Fianna Fáil politician. He served as Minister for the Gaeltacht on two occasions.

Early life
Denis Gallagher was born in Currane, by Clew Bay, facing Achill Island, County Mayo in 1922, the son of John Gallagher, a merchant, and his wife Catherine (née Gallagher). He grew up speaking English and Irish. He was educated locally and at Coláiste Éinde in Salthill. He qualified as a national school teacher having graduated from St Patrick's College in Drumcondra, Dublin. He taught in Drimnagh in Dublin for several years before returning to Mayo in 1946 to take up a teaching post. He married Hannah McHugh of Keel West, Achill in 1948, and they had twelve children.

Politics
Gallagher stood as a Clann na Poblachta candidate at the 1954 general election for Mayo North but was not elected. In the 1960s Gallagher changed allegiance and became a member of Fianna Fáil. He was elected to Mayo County Council in 1967 and was elected to Dáil Éireann on his third attempt at the 1973 general election for the Mayo West constituency. In 1974, he was appointed Fianna Fáil spokesperson on Fisheries. Fianna Fáil won the 1977 general election and Jack Lynch became Taoiseach. He appointed Gallagher as Minister for the Gaeltacht. He was an active minister with an interest in Irish language affairs. In the 1979 leadership contest Gallagher supported George Colley. However, Charles Haughey won the election, becoming Taoiseach, and Gallagher lost his position in cabinet. In March 1980, he was appointed as Minister of State at the Department of Industry, Commerce and Tourism He served in this role until the Fianna Fáil lost office in June 1981. His main achievement as minister was the establishment in 1979 of a new gaeltacht authority, Údarás na Gaeltachta.

Fianna Fáil returned to government in March 1982. In October 1982, following the resignations of Martin O'Donoghue and Desmond O'Malley from the cabinet, Gallagher returned as Minister for the Gaeltacht. He remained in that post until December when Fianna Fáil went into opposition.

Following the 1987 general election, Fianna Fáil returned to government. Haughey appointed himself as Minister for the Gaeltacht as well as Taoiseach, with Gallagher as Minister of State at the Department of the Gaeltacht. Gallagher retired from politics at the 1989 general election. After his retirement, he worked to advance the Irish language cause and also served as chairman of the Gaelic Athletic Association in Mayo.

Coombe Bissett

Coombe Bissett is a village and civil parish in the English county of Wiltshire in the River Ebble valley, 3 mi southwest of Salisbury on the A354 road that goes south towards Blandford Forum. The parish includes the village of Homington, to the east towards the village of Odstock.

History
Records from Saxon times indicate that the Ebble valley was a thriving area, the River Ebble also being known as the River Chalke. The Domesday Book in 1086 divided the Chalke Valley into eight manors: Chelke (Chalke – Bowerchalke and Broadchalke), Eblesborne (Ebbesbourne Wake), Fifehide (Fifield Bavant), Cumbe (Coombe Bissett), Humitone (Homington), Odestoche (Odstock), Stradford (Stratford Tony and Bishopstone) and Trow (circa Alvediston). The Domesday Book also recorded Cumbe as a royal manor with 85 households, while Humitone had just two households. A medieval packhorse bridge, now a footbridge, crosses the Ebble close to the current road bridge at Coombe Bissett.

Coombe Bissett and Homington were separate parishes, each with its own church, until they were united in a joint benefice in 1885. Homington was absorbed into Coombe Bissett civil parish in 1934.

Religious sites
The two Anglican churches below are served by the Chalke Valley team ministry.

St Michael's, Coombe Bissett
The oldest part of St Michael's, the south aisle, is from the 12th century. The chancel was built in the 13th and the tower (with stair-turret) added in the 14th; the nave and north transept are 15th-century. Restoration in 1845 by T.H. Wyatt included the rebuilding of the west front, reducing the length of the building. The church is a Grade I listed building.

St Mary's, Homington
St Mary's is a 14th-century church, possibly with earlier origins. The tower of the present church is from the early 17th century and there was extensive restoration in the 1860s. The church is a Grade II* listed building.

Nonconformist chapels
A Primitive Methodist chapel was built in 1841 at the west end of Homington village, then rebuilt in 1877. The chapel closed in 1967 and is now a private house. In 1895 a Baptist chapel was opened at Coombe Bissett, on the road to Homington, and is used by the Coombe Fellowship.

Amenities
Coombe Bissett has a pub, the Fox and Goose, a village hall, and a shop with a post office. A primary school was built at Shutts Lane in the 1960s, replacing a small National School on the Homington road which was built in 1845. Homington and Coombe Bissett Downs is a nature reserve on nearby chalk downland. There are various clubs within the village, including a tennis club, cricket club and badminton club. Salisbury and South Wiltshire Golf Course is to the north of the village. Salisbury Hospital is to the east, north of Odstock village and a 10-minute drive from Coombe Bissett.

Notable people

 * Tancred Borenius (1885–1948), Finnish art historian, died at Laverstock House hospital and is buried in Coombe Bissett churchyard.
 * Tim Smith (1961–2020), songwriter, composer and former leader of Cardiacs, spent his later years near Coombe Bissett.

Gevelsberg

Gevelsberg (Westphalian: Gievelsbiärg) is a town in the district of Ennepe-Ruhr-Kreis, in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

Geography
The town lies in the valley of the river Ennepe in the Süder Uplands, which is part of the Rhenish Massif. Gevelsberg lies about halfway between Wuppertal and Hagen, and is part of the industrial Ruhr Region. The lowest elevation is the Ennepe river at Vogelsang (132 m) and highest is the Hageböllinger Kopf (336 m). Its east-to-west length is 7.1 km and the north to south length is 7.15 km.

Division of the town

 * Asbeck
 * Berge
 * Gevelsberg
 * Silschede

History
The town has a history of nearly 785 years. The archbishop of Cologne Engelbert II of Berg was killed on November 7, 1225 by his cousin Frederick of Isenberg in Gievilberch. As a consequence, a monastery of atonement (German: Sühnekloster) was established at the place of Engelbert's death and became the origin of the settlement resulting in today's Gevelsberg.

The population grew strongly in the 19th century, when many small industries related to iron processing were developed.

Coat of arms
Gevelsberg received its coat of arms (a brick gable on a green hill, and a cogwheel indicating its industry) by decree of the Prussian Department of the Interior in 1903. In the mid-1950s a city wall was added to the coat of arms.

Politics
The current mayor of Gevelsberg is Claus Jacobi of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) since 2004. In the most recent mayoral election was held on 13 September 2020, Jacobi was re-elected with 87.1% of votes, defeating Felix Keßler, who was endorsed by the CDU, Free Voters, The Greens, and FDP.

City council
The Gevelsberg city council governs the city alongside the Mayor. The most recent city council election was held on 13 September 2020, and the results were as follows:

Stanford bunny

The Stanford bunny is a computer graphics 3D test model developed by Greg Turk and Marc Levoy in 1994 at Stanford University. The model consists of 69,451 triangles, with the data determined by 3D scanning a ceramic figurine of a rabbit. This figurine and others were scanned to test methods of range scanning physical objects.

The data can be used to test various graphics algorithms, including polygonal simplification, compression, and surface smoothing. There are a few complications with this dataset that can occur in any 3D scan data: the model is manifold connected and has holes in the data, some due to scanning limits and some due to the object being hollow. These complications provide a more realistic input for any algorithm that is benchmarked with the Stanford bunny, though by today's standards, in terms of geometric complexity and triangle count, it is considered a simple model.

The model was originally available in .ply (polygons) file format in four different resolutions.

The model can be found at https://graphics.stanford.edu/data/3Dscanrep/

Mary's Igloo, Alaska

Mary's Igloo (Qawiaraq or Aġviġnaq in Iñupiaq) is an abandoned village located in the Nome Census Area of the Unorganized Borough in the U.S. state of Alaska, now used as a fish camp. Many former residents and their descendants currently live in nearby Teller or the next largest community, Nome.

History
The Inupiat village of Kauwerak was located about 15 mi downriver from Mary's Igloo. By 1900, Kauwerak was abandoned and most of its residents moved to Teller or Nome because of schools and employment opportunities. A few settled at the site of Mary's Igloo, which they called Aukvaunlook (Aġviġnaq), meaning "black whale."

During the gold prospecting period of the early 1900s, non-Natives named the village "Mary's Igloo," after an Inupiaq woman named Mary, who welcomed miners, trappers and others into her home for coffee. During that period, Mary's Igloo was a transfer point for supplies for the gold fields upriver on the Kuzitrin and Kougarok rivers. The supplies were offloaded from ocean boats onto barges, which were towed to their destinations. A post office and store were opened at Mary's Igloo in 1901. By the 1910 census, Mary's Igloo was a community of 141 Inupiat and Anglo-Americans, who were miners, innkeepers, missionaries and support crews for the barges. It had schools, a post office and other services.

The flu epidemic of 1918 and 1919 and a tuberculosis epidemic, two years later, decimated the community's population. Catholic and Lutheran orphanages opened in the area to care for children left without parents.

The schools closed in 1948 and 1950 for lack of students and the post office and store also closed in 1952. Most of the residents moved to Nome or Teller.

The site of Mary's Igloo presently has no permanent population. It is used as a seasonal fish camp by some residents of Teller.

Demographics
Mary's Igloo first appeared on the 1910 U.S. Census as "Igloo", an unincorporated village. It did not officially appear as Mary's Igloo until 1950. It did not appear again on the census until 1980, although the population was zero. It was classified as an Alaskan Native Village Statistical Area (ANVSA). It has not reported any residents since.

Geography
Mary's Igloo is located at 65.15°N, -165.06667°W., on the northwest bank of the Kuzitrin River, on the Seward Peninsula. It is northeast of Nome and 65 km (40 mi) southeast of Teller.

I am sorry for the boring list of dates and sources where the name appears.

Cerium(IV) sulfate

Cerium(IV) sulfate, also called ceric sulfate, is an inorganic compound. It exists as the anhydrous salt Ce(SO4)2 as well as a few hydrated forms: Ce(SO4)2(H2O)x, with x equal to 4, 8, or 12. These salts are yellow to yellow/orange solids that are moderately soluble in water and dilute acids. Its neutral solutions slowly decompose, depositing the light yellow oxide CeO2. Solutions of ceric sulfate have a strong yellow color. The tetrahydrate loses water when heated to 180-200 °C.

It is insoluble in glacial acetic acid and pure (96%) ethanol.

It was historically produced by direct reaction of fine, calcined cerium (IV) oxide and concentrated sulfuric acid, yielding the tetrahydrate.

Uses
The ceric ion is a strong oxidizer, especially under acidic conditions. If ceric sulfate is added to dilute hydrochloric acid, then elemental chlorine is formed, albeit slowly. With stronger reducing agents it reacts much faster. For example, with sulfite in acidic environments it reacts quickly and completely.

When ceric compounds are reduced, so-called cerous compounds are formed. The reaction taking place is:
 * Ce4+ + e− →   Ce3+

The cerous ion is colorless.

Ceric sulfate is used in analytical chemistry for redox titration, often together with a redox indicator.

A related compound is ceric ammonium sulfate.

The solubility of Ce(IV) in methanesulfonic acid is approximately 10 times the value obtainable in acidic sulfate solutions.

Papert, Piaget and Chomsky
There was a rather famous (if you're a linguist!) discussion between Chomsky and Piaget, which was made into a book, partly downloadable here. Papert, as an admirer of Piaget, was helping to defend Piaget's ideas from Chomsky's attacks (with several linguists on Chomsky's side performing an analogous function, although Chomsky hardly needs such help). As a linguist, my sense is that Chomsky clearly won the debate (although Chomsky didn't characterize it as a debate); and that the biologists present, some of whom had organized the meeting, agreed (indeed, they were flabbergasted at Piaget's beliefs about evolution). I don't have as clear a sense of how Papert's presentation (a chapter in the book) was perceived, although the linguists didn't seem to find him much more convincing than they did Piaget.

I think this is relevant to this article not only because Papert was there, but because he and Chomsky were both at the same institution (MIT), and so clearly differed.

Perhaps someone who knows Papert better could contribute some words about this incident. Mcswell (talk) 23:34, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

Rewrite July 2007
I just reedited the Info box and I am interested once again in editing this article to maybe someday get it to at least a B rating. If anyone else (fans and Juggalos alike) has knowledge over blaze and would like to contribute then post your thoughts here, currently I can tell that it needs a complete rewrite, the info box picture needs to change, the article is cluttered with images that do very little for the accompanying text and the album section is a mess with "Psychopathics from Outer Space 2" and "Pony Down (Prelude)" listed under his solo Studio Albums when they aren't even his studio albums. The "Other albums appeared on" section of the article can be completely deleted as it clutters and brings down the quality of the article, if wanted, some of these references could be incorporated in the main text of the article. Another glaring problem is that the article isn't cited at all. If anyone would like to collaborate on this and other Psychopathic related articles on Wikipedia, please post back here.

Spazmatic
You asked what needs to go in an article about Spazmatic to get it accepted. All the information is around in the different guides, but there are lot of them. I'm pretty new here myself, but I'll try to provide a guide to the guides. The links will get you more detail.

Anybody can write an article for Wikipedia, but a lot of them get deleted because there are quite strict rules about what can stay in. First, the subject must be of enough general interest and importance: the Wikipedia term is notability. Just because something (like your energy drink) exists, it doesn't follow that it's notable. Wikipedia is not a directory of products, and not an advertising service. The next requirement is that the information in the article isn't original but can be verified from reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Myspace, Facebook, manufacturer's own web-site etc. don't count. That's actually quite a good check on notability: Coca-cola, Toyota etc get in because there is coverage of them in independent sources like newspapers. Information from the maker or anyone concerned with promoting a product is suspect as a conflict of interest because Wikipedia is independent and requires a neutral point of view. Finally, I've found WP:YFA is a good source of advice and pointers to other advice. Hope this helps. JohnCD 22:16, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Greg Turk

Greg Turk is an American-born researcher in the field of computer graphics and a professor at the School of Interactive Computing in the College of Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech). His paper "Zippered polygon meshes from range images", concerning the reconstruction of surfaces from point data, brought the "Stanford bunny", a frequently used example object in computer graphics research, into the CGI lexicon. Turk actually purchased the original Stanford Bunny and performed the initial scans on it. He is also known for his work on simplification of surfaces, and on reaction–diffusion-based texture synthesis. In 2008, Turk was the technical papers chair of SIGGRAPH 2008. In 2012, Greg Turk was awarded the ACM Computer Graphics Achievement Award 2012.

Education and computer graphics research
After receiving his Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill under the supervision of Henry Fuchs in 1992, Turk was a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University from 1992 to 1994 with Marc Levoy before he returned to UNC-Chapel Hill as a research professor from 1994 to 1996. He joined the Georgia Tech faculty in 1996. The following year, Turk was awarded an NSF CAREER Award, one of the most prestigious awards granted by the NSF to new faculty.

It was while at Stanford that he first brought the "Stanford bunny" back to the lab for scanning, which he recounts in a "had I but known" fashion:

"'One day, close to . . . Easter . . . I was out shopping on University Avenue near the Stanford campus. . . . . On one of the shelves of [a] store was a large collection of clay bunny rabbits, all identical. I had range scanning on my mind, and these bunnies looked to be about the right shape and size for our . . . project. Even better, these bunnies were made of terra cotta (red clay), so they were red and diffuse. I bought one of these bunnies. Had I known how popular the digital model would become, I would have bought many! I brought this clay bunny back to the Stanford Graphics Lab and scanned it from several directions. Using the methods that Marc and I [had] developed, I aligned a collection of ten such range scans to one another and merged them into a single polygonal mesh. The resulting model has come to be known as the Stanford Bunny. The original bunny still lives at Stanford.'"

Personal life
Turk was born in 1961, and grew up in Southern California. He attended Santa Monica High School in the 1970s, where he was a member of the nonmusical group "The Olive Starlight Orchestra", along with David Linden, Keith Goldfarb, David Coons, Susan P. Crawford, Eric Enderton and Jan Steckel. He did his undergraduate work at UCLA.

A guitarist in a short-lived band while he attended UCLA, Turk performed with the group as "Industrial Waist", which also had Jack Watt (on drums; formerly Jackie Watt before he transitioned), the mathematician and teacher Paul Lockhart (lead vocals, guitar; Lockhart later became known for writing the internet sensation, and later book, A Mathematician's Lament), the Rhythm and Hues Studios co-founder Keith Goldfarb (bass guitar player), and Alex Melnick (the band's original drummer). Turk and Lockhart were roommates in Santa Monica for a couple of years while they attended UCLA.

Turk lives in Atlanta.

WMNF

WMNF (88.5 MHz) is an FM non-commercial community radio station in Tampa, Florida. It is owned by the Nathan B. Stubblefield Foundation and it airs a mix of music shows and news programming. It is supported by listener contributions and has studios on East Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Tampa.

WMNF is a Class C1 FM station with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 6,650 watts. The transmitter is off Colonnade Vista Drive in Riverview, Florida.

Programs and personnel
Since its inception, WMNF has had a paid staff, but most of the programming is by volunteers. WMNF has aired a wide variety of music shows, including programs featuring Adult Album Alternative (AAA), Blues, Bluegrass, Folk, Alternative Rock, Rockabilly, R&B, Soul music, Urban Gospel, Celtic music, Jazz, Salsa and Experimental music.

The early WMNF schedule featured Folk and Acoustic music in the morning; Big Band and Nostalgia midday; Jazz Blues and Reggae in the afternoon; and Bluegrass in afternoon drivetime. Gospel, Soul, Jewish, Sixties, Celtic and New Wave filled evenings and the weekend.

In the nineties the station phased out Big Band and Nostalgia and midday became filled with public affairs and talk shows, anchored by the national show Democracy Now and a daily talk show called Radioactivity hosted by News Director Rob Loeei until 2021. WMNF airs several progressive talk and news programs focused on LGBTQ issues, animal and environmental preservation and civil right, hosted mostly by volunteers.

Among the long-running music shows are: The Sixties Show, Gospel Classic Hour, The Soul Party and The Freak Show. Past public affairs programs included RadioActivity and The Women's Show, touching on feminist issues that first started running in the 1980s. Current long running PA shows include Art in Your Ear, Talking Animals, and True Talk, which focuses on the Middle East and the global issues Muslims face.

In 1986, WMNF began the first hip hop show in the area, The Kenny K Wax Attack, which aired on Saturdays at midnight. An Arbitron rating showed 42% of radio listeners under 25 were listening to Kenny K. Saturday late night remains hip hop programming as of May 2024.

In 2014, WMNF added to the schedule, "The Rhythm Revival," hosted by nationally known recording artist/music historian Reverend Billy C. Wirtz. In 2021, Marvelous Marvin, a longtime popular DJ on Tampa Bay commercial radio, joined the show as a cohost. The Friday drive-time high-energy presentation of post WW2 blues, country and gospel is a station highlight.

In 2022, WUSF discontinued evening and overnight jazz programming to the dismay of area jazz fans. WMNF recruited WUSF’s longtime former jazz director Bob Seymour to present a Monday evening jazz show on WMNF. Jazz fans have embraced the new show show "Jazz in the Night."

History
Before going on the air the station conducted a door to door campaign to raise startup funds. The station signed on the air on. It was established by the Nathan B. Stubblefield Foundation, a non-profit organization started solely for this purpose. The Board of Directors comprises programmers, volunteers, staff, and community members. The first WMNF studios were in an old house in south Tampa, moving to a vacated church on Nebraska Avenue in Tampa in 1981.

WMNF was originally powered at 70,000 watts but on a much shorter tower. When its tower tripled in height in 2007, its power was reduced but still with better coverage.

WMNF holds periodic on-air fundraisers and seeks donations and volunteers on its website. Its supporters account for approximately 70% of its funding. There are three pledge drives each year. The station has paid operations staff, but most of the hosts and pledge drive workers are volunteers.

Facilities
In 2005, WMNF moved into new state of the art studios and production space financed by listener donations. The facility is located adjacent to the old studio which was demolished and now serves as a parking lot. The new facility is over 12000 sqft with three broadcast studios, two production studios and a live performance studio named in memory of Mike Eisenstadt, longtime host of the Sunday Simcha, a Jewish music and public affairs show that still airs on Sundays at 2pm. The music library can store approximately 100,000 CDs, and has about 8,000 record albums.

In 2007, WMNF moved to a higher antenna tower at 469 meters (1539 feet) in height above average terrain (HAAT). The signal stretches from Clearwater and Bradenton to Lakeland and Fort Meade.

Controversies
In 1997, Florida State Senator John Grant zeroed out $104,000 in state funding from the annual budget, citing his displeasure at the lyrics of a song he had heard broadcast (Iris DeMent's "Wasteland of the Free"). In response to the shortfall, the station staged an emergency fundraiser that took in $122,000 in a day and a half. Then Program Director Randy Wynne indicated his belief that such difficulties arose after WMNF aired several criticisms against State Senator Grant's opposition to Olympic gold medalist diver and outspoken LGBTQ activist Greg Louganis attending a speaking engagement at the University of South Florida.

On February 18, 2019, WMNF posted that they ended their "long-running relationship with News Director Rob Lorei" and for more information to "contact General Manager Craig Kopp." Rob Lorei filed a grievance with the station’s board of directors. There was a "public outcry" with "some supporters canceled donations" and within the first few days comments from listeners and supporters "poured in at station meetings, and online via WMNF’s social media bulletin board"

Josh Holton, former WMNF board member and previous supporter of Craig Kopp wrote that he would no longer support him due to “the completely inappropriate manner in which he has handled this monumentally catastrophic decision, which has hurt our budget, our brand and our reputation.”

On March 18, 2019, the Board of Directors of WMNF posted a statement which said that they would "reinstate Rob to his role as News & Public Affairs Director at WMNF." David Harbeitner (President of the Board of Directors of WMNF) shared that:

"The Board has reached the decision to reinstate Rob to his role as News and Public Affairs director at WMNF. We believe that both Rob and Craig Kopp, the station general manager, can and should play a critical role in the present and future of WMNF. This event, unfortunately, has reinforced the value of WMNF and the impact we have in the local community, particularly in regards to News and Public Affairs. It also has heightened our commitment to support the Tampa Bay community and to give a voice to the under-served.”"

On April 15, 2019 WMNF's General Manager Craig Kopp resigned and noted the community’s reaction to the firing and re-hiring of Rob Lorei as a reason, alone with "anti-Semitic and other ‘toxic’ comments made"

Craig Kopp wrote: “I love WMNF as a concept and have dedicated myself to setting it up to continue far into the future ... But the reinstatement of Rob Lorei assures that it will remain firmly rooted in the past.”

In 2021, 43-year station veteran Rob Lorei was terminated by WMNF. Lorei, the public affairs director and show host said he was not given a reason. He told the Tampa Bay Times "No community radio station has been as consistently successful as WMNF. You'll have to ask the general manager why he terminated me." The station told the newspaper that Lorei was given the reason by the general manager and a member of the board and that it would be his choice to disclose the reason. Lorei had been the host of Radioactivity with Rob Lorei, which aired weekdays at 11 a.m.

Over three months later WMNF stated in a letter that Rob Lorei used an "ethnic slur towards a listener from a station email account." Rob Lorei denied using 'an ethnic slur' and said he used a 'political term' in a reply to a listener who wrote it to "downplay the dangers of the Proud Boys." Will Greaves, WMNF Board President, disagrees and said the term was not a political term but rather “It was an anti-Semitic racial slur that is highly offensive to any Jewish person.”

Creative Loafing Tampa Bay reported that opinions on use of the term and its 'hurtfulness' were mixed from the Jewish community. Creative Loafing Tampa Bay wrote that while "most folks agree that it was not the best choice of words ... many in the community do believe that Lorei never meant to use the word in an anti-semitic manner."

Creative Loafing Tampa Bay says they are giving some context by referencing that Rob Lorei, in 1978, snuck into a Ku Klux Klan rally to assess how deep-seated the racism was" and how much of "a threat the KKK was to the Tampa Bay area." and in 1980 Rob Lorei helped "usher in WMNF’s first Jewish program (“The Jewish Sound,” now known as “The Sunday Simcha”)"

HD channels
WMNF broadcasts four HD Radio channels which are also online streams and accessible on the WMNF app.
 * HD-1 simulcasts the main WMNF signal.
 * HD-2 The Urban Cafe featuring classic soul, R&B, blues, reggae and rap.

Butera

Butera (Sicilian: Vutera) is an Italian town and a commune in the province of Caltanissetta, in the southern part of the island of Sicily. It is bounded by the comuni of Gela, Licata, Mazzarino, Ravanusa and Riesi. It has a population of 4,653 (2017) and is 49 km from Caltanissetta, the province's capital.

Etymology
The etymology of the name Butera is debated.

One hypothesis is that the name is of Arabic origin. Butera was called Butirah by the Arabs, which means "steep place". The Arabic demonym al-Buthayri was used to refer to a person from Butera (Arabic: Buthayr). Butera is also a common name of people in Rwanda (East Africa) where most of men and boys are given this name as a sign of strength.

Another would suggest that the name "Butera" is of Greek origin, and several contemporary scholars tend to reject the Arabic theory of Butera's etymology. This is upheld by Giovan Battista Pellegrini, who claims that "The Arabic form for Butera, always with the interdental, should be an indication of a Greek etymon with / d / (the etymological assumptions from Arabic do not satisfy)". Upholders of a Greek origin for the Butera have suggested that the word may come from bothèr (shepherd), boutherès (country which permits for summer pasture), boutyros (butter merchant) or bouteron (butter). B. Pace himself has asserted that the term, aside from boutherès, may derive also from the Graeco-Byzantine word patela (plain), which refers to Butera's location.

Archaeology
In the area of "Piano fiera" (a new neighborhood built below the old town) where a prehistoric necropolis still stands, is a construction called "dolmen cysts" made of stone slabs assembled in cubiform manner (a style found also throughout Sardinia). Used also in the Greek period, the monument is associated with cult practices, both Hellenic and indigenous, and characterised by the positioning of human remains inside urns (Gk: enchytrismόs) which, in turn, were placed inside these small chambers.

The history of this territory, at the time of Greek colonization, is not documented by ancient historians, and can only be reconstructed on the basis of archaeological research. Until the eighth century BC the tombs of Piano fiera do not show any relationship with the Greek area, but starting from the second half of the seventh century they were associated with rich grave goods imported from Greece.

History
The origins of Butera date back to the Early Bronze Age. During the 6th century BC, the town—then likely the Omphace described by Pausanias—was abandoned and was rebuilt only during the period of Timoleon, shortly after the middle of the fourth century BC It was, however, a small village inhabited by farmers, subject to external aggression throughout the early Middle Ages. Butera, being situated close to Gela, one of the most prominent ancient Greek cities of Sicily under Magna Graecia, was itself settled by Greeks, especially from Crete. The dialect spoken in the region was Doric Greek.

Butera was captured by the Aghlabids during the Muslim conquest of Sicily, following a 5-month siege in 853. Out of the three valli of Sicily, it was part of the Val di Noto, in the southeastern corner of the island. Following the fall of Butera to the Normans in 1091, the town's Muslim leaders were resettled in Calabria to prevent them from fomenting rebellion among the rest of the population. However, a mosque in the town is recorded even in the 12th century, as with certain other Sicilian cities such as Catania, Syracuse, Segesta and Alcamo. It was one of the last Muslim strongholds to fall, due to stubborn resistance, and was described as "one of the strongest outposts of anti-Norman sentiment." A notable Buteresi of the Norman period was 12th century poet and Quran reciter 'Abd ar-Rahman ibn Muhammed ibn 'Umar al-Buthayri, who wrote: "No life can be serene, save that in the shadows of sweet Sicily."

Following Butera's conquest by the Normans, it became an important Lombard town and indeed was the capital of the prominent County of Butera under the Aleramici, a noble Northwest Italian family of Frankish origin, as well as the Alagona, an Aragonese family, from 1089 to 1392. Settlers from Northern Italy (including Lombardy, Piedmont, Liguria and Emilia-Romagna) as well as southern France migrated to the county, which is reflected in the presence of Gallo-Italic dialects which are still spoken in certain Sicilian towns such as Piazza Armerina and Aidone. Butera itself was re-populated with Swabians from southern Germany following its destruction by William I as a reaction to anti-monarchical resistance in 1161.

In 1392, the Alagona family lost possession of the County following their defeat by Martin I, and was passed to the Catalan prince Ugo of Santapau. In 1543, Ambrogio Santapau was nominated Prince of Butera, after defeating Hayreddin Barbarossa, the Ottoman pirate. Up until the 19th century, this was Sicily's main feudal title.

In Butera, 12–13% of the population carries the sickle-cell trait, and its prevalence amongst the town's citizens is believed to be due to selective pressure against malaria. While some sources claim that it was introduced by the Muslim conquerors, other scientific studies claim that it was brought by the Greeks. At present, approximately 7% of the surnames in the city (457 out of 1,732) are attributed to a possible Hellenic origin.

Image:Cukampus.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Cukampus.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Onursendag. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Onursendag~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 02:15, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Culogostandart.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Culogostandart.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:14, 18 November 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Preamble to the United States Constitution

Protecting our constitution & its rights.
I would like to see a spot specifically added to inform on the importance of the constitution of the USA.

It is very important to elaborate to fellow constitutionalist the power of invoking their constitutional rights in crucial moments, and how to defend it.

Can we elaborate to the people the constitution and why it is the law of the land, superior to state constitutions? Constitutionalist24 (talk) 02:24, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

Foster and Partners

Foster and Partners (stylized as Foster + Partners) is a British international architecture firm based in London, England, founded in 1967 by British architect and designer Lord Norman Foster. Foster and Partners has designed buildings and structures including the Gherkin in London, the Hearst Tower in New York City, the 1990s renovation of the Reichstag in Berlin, the Millau Viaduct in France, and the Hong Kong International Airport.

In addition to architectural design, the firm’s practice encompasses engineering and design. As of 2021, the firm had approximately 1,500 employees, located in offices in multiple cities, including New York, Hong Kong, and Madrid. The firm has won the Pritzker Architecture Prize and the Stirling Prize.

History
The firm was established by Norman Foster in 1967 shortly after leaving his first studio, Team 4. The firm was originally called Foster Associates before the name was changed to Foster & Partners in 1999.

In 2007, the private equity company 3i took a stake in the practice. The practice regained complete ownership in June 2014, when the 140 partners bought it back.

In October 2021, Foster + Partners was bought for an undisclosed sum by a Canadian private investment firm, Hennick & Company, which became the single biggest shareholder of the practice. Foster retains a controlling interest.

Criticism
In June 2008, The Guardian published an article highly critical of planned real estate development in a pristine seacoast area in Bulgaria, which is currently under EU environmental protection. The paper cited environmentalists' concerns over the impact of the planned 15,000-inhabitant resort facilities. The Bulgarian partner of the planned real estate development in Bulgaria's pristine seacoast area, Georgi Stanishev, is the brother of Sergei Stanishev, who served as the Prime Minister of Bulgaria between 2005 and 2009 and is also the Leader of the Bulgarian Socialist Party.

Derek Ibbotson

George Derek Ibbotson (17 June 1932 – 23 February 2017) was an English runner who excelled in athletics in the 1950s. His most famous achievement was setting a new world record in the mile in 1957.

Biography
Ibbotson was born in Huddersfield in the West Riding of Yorkshire, and studied at King James's Grammar School, Almondbury. He was of the generation that included other great British milers such as Roger Bannister, Chris Brasher and Christopher Chataway. He was the junior champion in Britain in 1951.

After service in the Royal Air Force, Ibbotson returned to competition. In 1956 at the Summer Olympics in Melbourne, he won a bronze medal in the 5,000 metres. After the games, Ibbotson focused on the mile. Ibbotson began the 1957 season running in mile races, as a 5,000m or 3 mile runner would often do in the early part of the racing season - to race at a faster pace than he would need in those longer distances. After he had run a particularly fast mile at a Glasgow meeting, an experienced athletics official told the BBC that while it was a very good time, he and many others felt that Ibbotson’s greater potential was over 5,000m or 3 miles. In a race dubbed "mile of the century", Ibbotson won, the time was a new world record, taking 0.8 of a second off John Landy's time of 3.58 min set in 1954. Ibbotson continued competing in mile races throughout the season as well as some longer distance events - and ended the season exhausted.

Ibbotson never found the same form again. He represented England in the Empire Games at Cardiff in 1958, finishing tenth in the 3 miles. Ibbotson soldiered on and in 1960, in a bid to enter the Rome Olympics, he copied Gordon Pirie who, when he was struggling for form, increased his racing and took part in shorter races than usual, because it was good speed training. Ibbotson was not so successful and was not selected. Ibbotson continued to compete for much of the 1960s. After a poor 1961 season, he found success on the Indoor circuit, becoming the 1962 European Indoor champion for Two Miles (8:47.8).

He was one of many signatories in a letter to The Times on 17 July 1958 opposing 'the policy of apartheid' in international sport and defending 'the principle of racial equality which is embodied in the Declaration of the Olympic Games'.

In 2004 he received an honorary degree of Doctor of Civil Laws from the University of Hudersfield. He was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2008 New Year Honours for services to athletics. In 2011, he was inducted into the England Athletics Hall of Fame.

A qualified electrical engineer, he worked initially for the Coal Board but later was employed in sales, latterly as an executive and agent for Puma, the sportswear company. Turning later to squash, he became good enough to represent Yorkshire, twice winning the Yorkshire veterans championship. He also played golf until he was in his 70s.

Ibbotson was married twice. His first wife, Madeline Wooller was an English cross country international runner. They had three daughters together, Christine, Nicola and Georgina. Madeline and Ibbotson divorced. Years later Ibbotson fell in love and married Ann Parmenter. They had a daughter together, Joanna. Ann died in 1997.

George Derek Ibbotson, born on 17 June 1932, died in Wakefield on 23 February 2017, aged 84. A large crowd attended his funeral service led by The Vicar of Huddersfield, the Rev Canon Simon Moor, at St Peter’s Church in Huddersfield, who said Derek Ibbotson epitomised all that was life-enhancing about sport and noted that "two of Derek’s proudest achievements were being awarded his MBE in 2008 and receiving an honorary degree from Huddersfield University."

So i did a bunch of updates to the article. I found out that although the forward and the workmen's circle were always closely aligned in purpose and with similar people at the lead of each, they where never officially joined. They do occupy the same building in New York city though. Sorry for the sheer number of updates, i feel that it is easier to do each with a description of what i am changing than to change it all at once for tracking purposes. Anyway i will continue to update the information when i get the time. Am i talking to myself by the by, or is there anyone out there who will add to this article? -Mkrupnic 21:02, 26 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Re: Valedictorian
American high schools have graduation ceremonies!?! Weird. The more I learn about America, the more alien it seems. It's strange that in practice the USA has more arcane ceremonies and rituals in everyday life than Britain does. I'd have expected it to be the other way round. Over here, you leave secondary school as soon as the exams are over, and that's it. You can visit the school later to find out your exam results if you want. But there's no ceremony. The results are just pinned up on the notice board. And most students don't even bother because the exam boards will send you your results directly anyway. — P Ingerson (talk) 29 June 2005 08:22 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 21:15, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Workbook (album)

Workbook is the 1989 debut solo album by American guitarist and singer Bob Mould, following the breakup of the influential punk rock band Hüsker Dü. The album has a strong folk influence and lighter overall sound than he had been known for, although heavy guitar features occasionally. Drummer Anton Fier and bassist Tony Maimone, both of Pere Ubu fame, served as Mould's rhythm section on the album and on the subsequent live shows. The single "See a Little Light" was a hit on the US Modern Rock chart.

The album has been influential in the alternative rock community: its acoustic elements would be echoed in R.E.M.'s 1992 album Automatic for the People, while Nirvana's 1993 album In Utero used cellos in a similar way.

In the liner notes of the Hüsker Dü live album The Living End, writer David Fricke noted that Mould had an embryonic version of the song "Compositions for the Young and Old" in the waning days of that band.

"Poison Years" is directed at Hüsker Dü drummer Grant Hart. "There's people who think I'm still sending missiles to Grant," said Mould at the time of his band Sugar's album File Under Easy Listening in 1994. "Sorry to disappoint you, but I took care of that about five years ago. Check out side one, song five on Workbook."

The album was reissued on CD and double LP for its 25th anniversary in 2014 as Workbook 25, by Omnivore Recordings. This remastered edition includes an extra track, "All Those People Know", and a second CD-only disc containing a 1989 live set by Mould at the Cabaret Metro in Chicago.

Personnel

 * Bob Mould – vocals, guitar, mandolin, keyboards, percussion
 * Tony Maimone – bass guitar
 * Anton Fier – drums
 * Jane Scarpantoni – cello
 * Steven Haigler – engineer, mixing, percussion
 * Chris Stamey – rhythm guitar, backing vocals (live disc only)

Charts

Joseph A. Schwarcz

Joseph A. Schwarcz (born 1947) is an author and a sessional instructor at McGill University. He is the director of McGill's Office for Science and Society.

Early life
Schwarcz is an only child, born in Sopron, Hungary, to Jewish parents. During the Hungarian uprising in 1956, when he was age nine, the family escaped over the border to Austria and migrated to Canada and settled in Montreal, Quebec. Schwarcz attended Logan school on Darlington and went on to study chemistry at McGill University in Montreal where he received a BSc (1969) and PhD (1973).

Schwarcz became interested in magic and chemistry at the age of nine, when he saw a magician perform a rope trick at a school friend's birthday party. "Instead of using the usual magic words like Abracadabra, he said that he was going to sprinkle a 'Magic Chemical' on the ropes." Schwarcz was so intrigued that he went to the library and looked up chemistry; he has had a keen interest in both since that day.

Biography
Schwarcz started his teaching career at Dawson College before moving to Vanier College serving as chair of the Department of Chemistry at both colleges. He then returned to McGill University in 1980 where he teaches in courses in the Department of Chemistry and Faculty of Medicine with an emphasis on alternative medicine.

In 1999 Schwarcz became the founding director of the McGill University Office for Science and Society (OSS) with Ariel Fenster and David N. Harpp. The OSS "...is a unique venture dedicated to the promotion of critical thinking and the presentation of scientific information to the public, educators and students in an accurate and responsible fashion." As director, he takes on health fads and the celebrities who promote them. He has used his knowledge of magic to show how supernatural feats can be done by ordinary means.

Even as a university student, Schwarcz found chemistry to be a dry subject, so he established a series of courses designed to bring chemistry to the general student, and later to the public through a series of lectures. The lectures include magic and spontaneity to keep the audience interested.

"'A good lecturer is also an actor. A lecture should seem spontaneous, even if it's been given many times before... You capture the audience's attention. Then, without their realizing it, you pump a little scientific information into their brains. Before they know it, they've learned something.'"

In 2010, 2012, and 2016–2017, Schwarcz was nominated by McGill as one of the USA Science and Engineering Festival's Nifty Fifty Speakers.

Schwarcz began his media career in 1980 after meeting Montreal Gazette reporter Ted Blackman at the Man and His World exhibition when he was demonstrating how to make polyurethane from two liquids. Blackman reported on the demonstration and made a significant error. Schwarcz wrote to the Gazette, pointing out the error, and Blackman printed a retraction. Radio station CJAD picked up the story and called Schwarcz to talk about it on air. The following week another scientific issue arose and he was called on again; this led to regular collaborations and to his own weekly radio show (The Dr. Joe Show), which also ran on Toronto's CFRB for about two years.

Schwarcz has appeared hundreds of times on Canadian television and radio, including his single-season show about common foods called Science to Go on the Canadian Discovery Channel. He writes a weekly column for the Montreal Gazette called The Right Chemistry and a monthly column in the Canadian Chemical News.

He is one of the spokespersons for ScienceUpFirst, a science communication initiative aiming at reducing the impact of COVID misinformation online.

In 1999 Schwarcz was awarded the Grady-Stack Award for Interpreting Chemistry for the Public. At the time, he was the first non-American to win the award. He was the joint winner of the 2014 Center for Skeptical Inquiry Robert P Balles Prize for skeptical thinking for his book Is This a Fact?

Schwarcz has honorary doctorates from Athabasca University (2002), Cape Breton University (2011), and Simon Fraser University (2019).

Personal life
Schwarcz and his wife Alice were married in 1973 and have three children. Alice died in March 2016.

Awards

 * Royal Society of Canada, McNeil Medal for outstanding ability to promote and communicate science to students and to the public within Canada. (shared with David Harpp & Ariel Fenster) (1992)

 * Honorary Doctorate of Science, Athabasca University (2002)
 * Royal Canadian Institute, Sandford Fleming Medal (2005)
 * Society of Chemical Industry, Purvis Memorial Award (2010)
 * Chemical Institute of Canada, Montreal Medal (2010)
