Vovinam

Vovinam (short for Võ Việt Nam, meaning "Vietnamese Martial Arts"), officially known as Việt Võ Đạo (越武道, meaning "Vietnamese Way of Martial Arts") is a Vietnamese martial art founded in 1938 by Nguyễn Lộc. It is based on traditional Vietnamese eclectic sources.

Vovinam, based on the principle of "hard and soft", involves the use of strikes, elbows, kicks, knees, and wrestling moves, as well as weapons such as swords, knives, chisels, claws and fans that serve as training devices for reaching optimal control of body and mind. Students also learn defense techniques and forms. Amongst Vietnamese martial arts, Vovinam is the largest and most developed with more than 60 schools around the world, including Poland, Belgium, Canada, Cambodia, Denmark, Germany, the United States, Morocco, Norway, Russia, France, Romania, Switzerland, Sweden, Singapore, Uzbekistan, Thailand, Italy, Australia, India, Pakistan, Iran, Spain, Algeria, Taiwan and Greece, among others.

History

Vovinam/Việt Võ Đạo was founded by Nguyễn Lộc (1912 – 1960) in 1938, with the intent of providing practitioners with an efficient method of self-defense after a short period of study. Nguyễn believed martial arts would contribute to freeing Vietnam from colonial rule, which had been ruled by France since 1859, and from outside domination. Vovinam added elements of Chinese and Japanese systems onto traditional Vietnamese martial arts, systems, was thus created partially as a response to the French occupation, meant to promote a sense of national identity for the Vietnamese people. Hence, it is similar to taekwondo in that it is an eclectic system with combined elements of Japanese and Chinese martial arts onto an indigenous framework.

After being invited to demonstrate Vovinam publicly in Hanoi with his disciples in 1940, Nguyễn was invited to teach the art at Hanoi's École Normale, and Vovinam gained in popularity. During the following years, political unrest increased throughout Vietnam; due to the system's nationalist political orientation, the art came under suppression. By 1954, Nguyễn had emigrated to South Vietnam, where he was able to continue to teach and establish Vovinam schools. His discipline was well received and within the year of arriving, he was even invited to train the police in Thủ Đức, Saigon. Unfortunately, he would fall terminally ill that same year and had to delegate all teaching to his senior student Grandmaster Lê Sáng while he relegated himself to backline research & study until he succumbed to his illness four years later. After his death in 1960, Grandmaster Lê Sáng continued the development and international promotion of Vovinam until his own death on September 27, 2010. During the Vietnam War throughout the mid-60's under Lê, Vovinam secured teaching opportunities when its instructors were invited to train officers from the National Police. However, a brief rivalry was brewed between Vovinam practitioners and Taekwondo when the South Vietnamese government decided to have the hand-to-hand system utilized by the South Korean military to be the main hand-to-hand system for the South Vietnamese soldiers and have the South Korean troops train the South Vietnamese soldiers. The rivalry was only settled when the Central Military Command later on come to an agreement for both Vovinam & Taekwondo as well as Judo to be allowed to be taught to the South Vietnamese military.

The first Vovinam school outside of Vietnam was established in Houston, Texas by Vietnamese emigrants in 1976 after the Fall of Saigon. By 2000, Vovinam schools had been established in Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Morocco, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, and the United States. Vovinam now exists without the political overtones it originally carried.

Logo
The Vovinam/Việt Võ Đạo logo is framed in a yellow shield. This shape symbolizes the harmony of hard and soft. Within this yellow shape, the red text "Vovinam" is written above the marine blue text "Việt Võ Đạo". Beneath the text appears a Âm-Dương symbol in red and marine blue. The Âm-Dương is surrounded by a thick, white circle, symbolizing the being of the Dao, with the mission to mediate between negative and positive (Âm = Negative, Dương = Positive), to subdue the two, to enable life of all beings. A yellow map of Vietnam is superimposed on the symbol.

Hard and soft
The yin and yang theory (Vietnamese: "Âm-Dương" and "Nhu-Cương") states that everything in the universe and on earth is initiated through the interrelation of Âm (negative) and Dương (positive). As to this theory there are martial arts that prefer the hard over the soft and others that prefer the soft over the hard. Vovinam Việt Võ Đạo does not prefer any over the other. Hard and soft are used equally to adapt to every situation, to every problem.

The student aims to develop the ability to combine hard and soft in combat and in daily life. This aims to develop both their physical abilities and spirit.

Not only the principle of the harmony of hard and soft but also many other things resulting from the training contribute to internalizing the martial art philosophy, e.g. fighting spirit, courage, tenacity, fairness, modesty and tolerance. Above all the training in morality and the way of applying the techniques shape the students' character. Emphasis is placed on recognizing one's ego and overcoming it.

In doing so the Vovinam student will gain generosity and tolerance with other people. With the awareness that the most important thing in a human's life are other humans, the final goal is to be able to not only help oneself but also to help others to live in peace and harmony with their surroundings.

With the salutation "Iron Hand over benevolent heart", the student is reminded of the main principle and the goal of Vovinam Việt Võ Đạo with every training. It is also about using the opponent's force and reaction, reaching maximum effect with comparatively little force.

10 principles of Vovinam Việt Võ Đạo
The term Việt Võ Đạo ("the way (Dao) of Viet Vo") was coined by the patriarch of the second generation of the Vovinam Viet Vo Dao, Lê Sáng, with the objective of adding a philosophical dimension to his martial art. This "Viet Vo Dao" consists of ten principles:

(The wording can vary slightly between Vovinam schools)
 * 1) Vovinam's disciples vow to pursue high proficiency in their martial art in order to serve the people and humanity.
 * 2) Promise to be faithful to the intentions and teaching of Vovinam and develop the young generation of Vovinam Viêt Võ Dao.
 * 3) Be united in spirit and heart, respect one's elder, be kind to one's peers.
 * 4) Respect discipline absolutely, maintain the high standard of personal conduct and honour of a martial art disciple.
 * 5) Have respect for other martial art schools, only use martial art skills for self-defense and protect justice.
 * 6) Be studious, strengthen the mind, enrich one's thought & behavior.
 * 7) Live simply, with chastity, loyalty, high principles and ethics.
 * 8) Build up a spirit of steely determination and vigor, overcome powers of violence.
 * 9) Make intelligent judgments, carry out struggles with perseverance and act with alertness.
 * 10) Be self-confident, self-controlled, modest and generous.

A "Việt Võ Đạo Federation" was founded on November 3, 1973, in order to reunite some Vietnamese martial arts. Therefore, "Việt Võ Đạo", in Europe, is also used as a generic term for certain Vietnamese martial arts and philosophies but in Vietnam is only used to refer to "Vovinam Việt Võ Đạo".

Uniforms
From 1938 to 1964, there was no official uniform. Following the lifting of the ban on martial arts in Vietnam in 1963, the first Council of Vovinam-Viet Vo Dao was gathered in 1964 to codify Vovinam, establishing a rank hierarchy and uniforms and codifying the training curriculum according to rank. The color blue was adopted as the official color for Vovinam uniforms. A separate development of the "Việt Võ Đạo Federation" in 1973 until 1990 the uniforms' color was black.

In the summer of 1990, Vovinam masters from around the world met at the International Vovinam-Viet Vo Dao Conference in California with the goal of creating a structured organization for Vovinam Việt Võ Đạo outside Vietnam (the International Vovinam-Viet Vo Dao Federation). One of the decisions was that the suit in Vovinam Việt Võ Đạo were now to be blue worldwide.

Belts
The student begins with a cyan belt - the same color as his/her suit.

Blue stands for the factor of the sea, and the hope - the hope in being successful in learning Vovinam. With the following 3 exams, yellow stripes are added to the blue belt. The 3rd yellow stripe is followed by the yellow belt.

Yellow stands for earth. In other martial arts this belt is black. Therefore, a Vovinam student who carries a yellow belt is allowed to carry a black belt. This makes a comparison to other martial arts easier, e.g. in public performances. A person who wears a yellow belt with one or more red stripes is considered an instructor.

Following in a longer period of time, respectively 3 red stripes are added to the yellow belt. This corresponds to the 1st, 2nd, respectively 3rd degree blackbelt (Đẳng). The exam following the 3rd red stripe is the master's exam. Passing the exam successfully assigns the right to wear a red belt with a circulating yellow border (4th degree blackbelt).

Red stands for the blood and the intensive flame. The student has internalized Vovinam (Việt Võ Đạo) even further. The 5th to 10th degree blackbelt are shown as a completed red belt with 1 to 6 white stripes.

White stands for the infiniteness, the bones; is the symbol of the depth of the spirit. The white belt assigns the master the absolute mastery of Vovinam Việt Võ Đạo. On the white belt thin, lengthwise stripes in blue, black, yellow and red symbolize the whole of Vovinam (Việt Võ Đạo) again. This belt is reserved for the "Chưởng Môn".

Now, Vovinam has two different sets of belt ranking because of the different training program: The WVVF Vovinam (headquarter: Vietnam) uses the traditional program and (headquarter: France) uses the new training program.

Name plates
With every change of belt color the name plate color changes. Blue belt students start off with yellow text on blue name plates. With the yellow belt the name plate changes to red text on yellow ground. The red belt comes along with white text on a red name plate. The patriarch carries red text on a white name plate. Thin, colored lines in blue, yellow and red are shown on the upper and lower borders of this white name plate.

Specialties
Vovinam has some specialised techniques:
 * 1) Đòn Chân Tấn Công

confusion re years and seasons
I agree it's used in many places, but I still think it's confusing. In situations where we can easily change "1955" to "the 1955 season", we should always do so. And to reduce confusion we should never link to 1955 by itself. Jdorje 19:26, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Fascism (book)

Fascism is a book edited by political theorist Roger Griffin. It was published by Oxford University Press in 1995 as a 410-page paperback. It is a reader in the Oxford Readers series, which assembles the writings of various authors on the topic of fascism and the far-right. It serves as an English-language source book to introduce readers to pre-fascist anti-liberalism, interwar fascism in Italy and Germany, as well as associated international variants of fascism from Argentina to Japan.

Description
Griffin attempts a comprehensive survey of the illiberal right-wing throughout the 20th century, including topics as diverse as radical ecologism, neo-paganism, ultra-nationalism, and fanatical racism. Authors include an eclectic mix of philosophers, politicians, poets, agitators, and social critics, ranging from the fairly benign pessimistic poet-scholars of Weimar Germany (such as Stefan George, Ernst Jünger, and Martin Heidegger) to the rhetoric of those such as Heinrich Himmler and the American white supremacist, William Pierce. Griffin principally examines interwar Italian Fascism and German Nazism, with political and historiographical analysis by contemporary and post-war liberals, Marxists, and conservatives.

There are 214 selections in the book, most of them from pre-1945. About half of them are from Italy and Germany, plus a section on "abortive fascisms" with writings from Britain, Spain, France and numerous other countries in Europe, Africa and South America. A section is devoted to "theories of fascism," and the book concludes with a collation of post-war writings.

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines national football team

The Saint Vincent and the Grenadines national football team represents Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in men's international football. It is controlled by the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Football Federation.

The team finished second in the Caribbean Cup in 1995, and participated at the 1996 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Its first FIFA World Cup qualification attempt was for the 1994 edition, and it has entered every World Cup qualification since.

1936–1995
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines played their first two international matches, against their neighbour Barbados in 1936 - both matches ending in a 1–1 draw. In the '60s and '70s, they played several editions of the Windward Islands Tournament, winning the 1965 and 1966 competitions. They also participated in the 1979, qualifying to the final stage and finishing in second place behind Haiti. In the following edition, in 1981, they reached the final stage but again finished in second, this time two points off of Trinidad and Tobago.

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines qualified for the inaugural 1989 Caribbean Cup, finishing top of their qualification group including a 9–0 victory over Sint Maarten. In the finals, they would fail to get out of the group, finishing bottom behind Grenada and Netherlands Antilles. They would reach the final phase of the Caribbean Cup again in consecutive years, 1992 and 1993, without much luck, finishing last and second last respectively.

At the end of 1992, the Vincy Heat participated in their first World Cup qualifiers. They got through the first rounds, eliminating Saint Lucia (3–2 on aggregate) and Suriname (2–1 on aggregate), to advance to the second phase, where they finished bottom of the group, with six losses in as many games. Especially painful was the 11–0 defeat that Mexico dealt them at the Azteca Stadium, the worst in their history.

1996 Gold Cup
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines qualified for the 1996 CONCACAF Gold Cup, by obtaining the runner-up position in the 1995 Caribbean Cup. During qualification for the Caribbean Cup, Vincy Heat had dispatched Montserrat 20–0 over two legs. They had gone on to finish top of their group in the main competition and defeated Cuba in the semi-finals 3–2, however Trinidad and Tobago proved too strong in the final and won 5–0. In the 1996 Gold Cup, the Vincy Heat failed to register a victory, losing 5–0 to Mexico and 3–0 to Guatemala.

1996–present
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines would qualify again for the 1996 Caribbean Cup but this time finish bottom of their group. It would be eleven years before they qualified again, on goals scored, following their 8–0 thrashing of Saint Lucia with five goals from Shandel Samuel which saw them edge out Jamaica. In the 2007 tournament, Vincy Heat only managed one win, against Guyana 2–0, and finished bottom of their group again.

In 1998 World Cup qualifiers, the Saint Vincentian team beat Puerto Rico 9–1 over two legs, then defeated Saint Kitts and Nevis on away goals, thanks to a 2–2 draw in Basseterre. In the third round of qualifying they finished with six defeats in six games, including an 11–3 loss to Honduras. In the 2002 qualifiers, they beat the U.S. Virgin Islands 14–1 on aggregate, Saint Kitts and Nevis (4-2) and Antigua and Barbuda (5–2) but again finished without a win in the qualification semi-finals.

They improved in the 2006 qualifiers beating Nicaragua to advance to the third round for the third consecutive time, and obtaining two victories over Saint Kitts and Nevis, finishing in third place. However, in the 2010 qualifiers, they were eliminated for the first time in the second qualifying round, at the hands of Canada, who prevailed with an aggregate score of 7–1. In 2014 qualification, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines won once against Grenada to finish 13 points behind Guatemala. In 2018 World Cup qualification, they managed to beat Guyana 6–6 on away goals, then beat Aruba 3–2 to make it to the fourth round group stage. There they failed to get a single point, conceding 34 goals and finishing bottom of their group, including a 9–3 loss to Guatemala.

No. 8 Group RAF

No. 8 Group RAF (8 Gp) was a Royal Air Force group which existed during the final year of the First World War and during the Second World War.

First World War
No. 8 Group was formed in April 1918 as a training unit and designated 8 Group (Training). It remained in this function throughout the rest of the war and was disbanded in May 1919.

First formation
The Group was re-established as No 8 (Bomber) Group on 1 September 1941 only to be disbanded around five months later on 28 January 1942.

Reformation of Group 8
8 Group was re-constituted when Bomber Command's Pathfinder Force was renamed No. 8 (Pathfinder Force) Group on 8 January 1943. The group consisted of specialist squadrons that marked targets for the main attacks of Bomber Command aircraft. The Force, which had been formed in August 1942 with five squadrons from the existing Bomber Command Groups, flew a mix of Short Stirling, Handley Page Halifax, and Avro Lancaster, all four-engined heavy bomber aircraft, along with Vickers Wellington, a twin-engined, long-range medium bomber aircraft. When new aircraft, such as the de Havilland Mosquito, a twin-engined, multirole combat aircraft became available, 8 Group got the first ones. Its aircraft used navigation aids such as Gee, H2S and Oboe to find the targets of attack more accurately than the main force on its own could. Initially formed of five squadrons, 8 Group ultimately grew to a strength of 19 squadrons.

No. 8 Group was also responsible for the Light Night Striking Force, equipped with Mosquito bombers and used for harassing raids on Germany. It was disbanded on 15 December 1945, though its badge and motto ("We Guide to Strike") were subsequently authorized on 11 March 1953. While the majority of Pathfinder squadrons and personnel were from the Royal Air Force, the group also included many from the air forces of other Commonwealth countries. The PFF flew a total of 50,490 individual sorties against some 3,440 targets. The cost in human lives was grievous. At least 3,727 members were killed on operations and 675 aircraft lost.

Cele Goldsmith Lalli

Cele Goldsmith Lalli (1933 – January 14, 2002) was an American editor. She was the editor of Amazing Stories from 1959 to 1965, Fantastic from 1958 to 1965, and later the Editor-in-Chief of Modern Bride magazine.

Biography
Goldsmith joined the science fiction/fantasy field in 1955, working as Howard Browne's secretary and assistant (and particularly on the short-lived magazine Pen Pals), and, after Browne resigned, with his successor Paul W. Fairman. When Fairman left Ziff-Davis in 1958, Goldsmith took over as editor of Amazing Stories and Fantastic. Goldsmith was open to new authors and experimentation in writing, with the result that between 1961 and 1964 Amazing and Fantastic were "the two most exciting and original magazines" in the SF and fantasy fields.

Among her discoveries were Thomas M. Disch, Ursula K. Le Guin, Keith Laumer, Sonya Dorman (as a fiction writer), Larry Eisenberg, and Roger Zelazny. She was also instrumental in bringing Fritz Leiber out of an early writer's-block-induced retirement (a 1959 issue was devoted entirely to his fiction), and was among the first US editors to publish British author J. G. Ballard.

Goldsmith married in 1964 and took Lalli as her last name. By this time, she'd received a special award from the World Science Fiction Convention for her work on the magazines. Le Guin and subsequent Fantastic and Amazing editors Barry N. Malzberg and Ted White have taken care to note the significance of her achievement.

In 1965, Ziff-Davis sold the two fiction magazines to publisher Sol Cohen, who founded Ultimate Publications to publish them. Lalli continued at Ziff-Davis, where she worked at Modern Bride magazine for 30 years.

Death
Not long after her retirement, she was killed in a car accident in Newtown, Connecticut, on January 14, 2002.

The result of the debate was REDIRECT. dbenbenn | talk 15:09, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Jesus of Suburbia
I have a feeling this will be judged a "keep", but this substub is very vague. Does it have to do with a song I found on Google, or is it just garbage? — Bill 18:58, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

--24.147.51.101 19:30, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * It appears to be about a song on Green Day's new album, American Idiot. I say redirect to the album, but I won't lose sleep over deletion. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 19:08, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. We're not a song directory. Such a thing would be ugly to create, even outside of Wikipedia. --Improv 19:23, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Redirect. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk)]] 21:59, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)
 * Merge/Redirect to American Idiot. (Both a song on the album, and a major character in the story) — siro  χ  o  23:39, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: It's a play on The Buddha of Suburbia, and we're not a song catalog. No redirect, because the chances of someone searching this way and wanting the album (instead of the novel).  If they are searching for the song, then they need to learn that we're not a song guide. Geogre 13:45, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete: I created the Story section of the American Idiot for this very purpose... the character is already described on there.
 * Redirect, so people looking for information on Jesus of Suburbia can find it. Kappa 10:10, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as fancruft. Martg76 15:47, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to American Idiot. Greenday's American Idiot album is a theme album telling the story of this character, i.e. all songs have to do with him in some way. Therefore this is not a song, but a character for a series of song. JoaoRicardo 20:04, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect. Samaritan 00:58, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, Wikipedia is not a song database. Megan1967 01:27, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete --nixie 02:32, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect to American Idiot. It is a notable track and suite of tracks on the album as well as the core concept of the album. Capitalistroadster 08:55, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * AFAIK, a song has to be exceptionally notable to merit an encyclopedia entry of its own. This isn't. Redirect to American Idiot. Bearcat 07:17, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. Allow me to point it out that this is not a song, but a character in an album. JoaoRicardo 12:17, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Up-is-downism

Up-is-downism was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was DELETE

 * Nominated for speedy by User:Bill Thayer (sp?), but not a speedy candidate. Nevertheless, should go. This is why we need some sort of managed deletion process. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 18:59, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)

 * OK, Delete. (I'm still learning the ropes here; why is this grossly POV/neologism not speedy?) — Bill 19:08, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC) and your spelling's fine, by the way!
 * Because, if you click on the linked term candidate for speedy deletion, it takes you to a policy page which lists the criteria for speedy deletion. These criteria are very narrow, and properly so, because there is relatively little public transparency for such deletions. Once an article is deleted, a non-sysop cannot read its content to judge whether it should have been deleted or not. Read the page for yourself; basically silly and nonsensical one-liners can be speedy-deleted. As things stand, it seems to me that Up-is-downism is a) very clearly a delete (but we shall see!) and b) very clearly not a speedy-delete. Two good examples of a genuine speedy deletes are Noj and North American witchcraft, whose entire contents, respectively, are:
 * See Italic text'Oxenfez'
 * and
 * ur all goths
 * Gotcha, thanx. (By those criteria though, Noj is just bad wikifying for a redirect to Oxenfez: so now I'm gonna contest that one!) — Bill 20:18, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Delete. I hate BushJr as much as the next guy, but this isn't encyclopedic. --Improv 19:24, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, neologism, original essay. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 19:34, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Beats me why this isn't speedy, but speedy got more picky lately. IMHO we should have a faster delete process for substubs (like this one), POV titled articles (like this one), and/or marketing material. Oh, and delete. And quickly (though not speedily!) - KeithTyler 21:17, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. POV neologism.   — Gwalla | Talk 03:02, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Stupid POV neologism stub. jni 08:46, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. While true :P, it is not NPOV. Plus the whole neologism thing. DeusExMachina 13:32, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Not only it is a neologism, but it's almost certainly a redundant one (I'm sure there is already a word for this, though it eludes me.) - KeithTyler 19:03, Oct 8, 2004 (UTC)

 * Delete: I'd call it Newspeak and Minitrue, but hey. I agree, of course, that we need a Managed Delete, and people who have voted "no" on it need to look again. Geogre 13:49, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * It's not a neologism; if you google the term, you'll see it's in fairly wide usage. I think it's worth keeping, as it's difficult to find a definition for it anywhere else; but it needs a better entry.
 * Why is a definition needed? I agree that 281 Google hits on the Web, and 48 hits in Google Groups (which I regard as a better indication of what terms are in actual conversational use) means that the actual word is not the personal invention of the contributor. But that's not widespread usage, either. For what it's worth, the earliest Groups hit is in August, 18, 2003. I don't think it's possible to tell yet whether this term is really coming into wide use, and I think that as of 2004 its meaning is safely inferred from context. There is absolutely no reason why Wikipedia needs to be the first to define something; identifying "memes on the rise" is Wired's job, not Wikipedia's. If one of the Presidential candidates uses it in the debate tonight, then, fine, I'll change my vote. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 19:05, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Agfa-Gevaert

Page update
Hi. I work in the communications department of Agfa-Gevaert. Although we were very pleased with the English Wikipedia page for our company, we felt some changes were necessary to reflect our current activities. I also updated the numbers. VDC 11:55, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

A Belgian company?
Is Agfa a Belgian company? I have listed it on List of Belgian companies but I am not really sure about this matter. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks. --Edcolins 19:01, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)

 * Hi Ed. I work for Agfa.  Agfa is a multi-national, however, our head office is in Mortsel Belgium. JEL

 * Do you mean Agfa is incorporated in Belgium? A company, as far as I know, could be incorporated in the US while having its HQ somewhere else. I would have liked to know where is Agfa incorporated, no matter how many foreign subsidiaries it has. Thanks for your help... --Edcolins 21:38, Oct 23, 2004 (UTC)

 * Yes, Agfa is incorporated in Belgium. I checked with our local CFO. JEL 15:53, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Agfa is a former german comany, Gevaert a belgian. The owner is the the german Bayer AG (30 %) The photo from 1938 has nothing to do with the belgian Gevaert company. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.201.121.169 (talk) 13:54, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Paul Mendelssohn-Bartholdy - son or brother of Felix?
From what I read at the Leo Baeck Institute Center for Jewish History (15 West 16th Street, New York, NY 10011), Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy (the well known composer) had both a brother Paul and a son named Paul. Given that Felix lived from 1790 to 1847, I believe that it was the son that was the co-founder of ActienGesellchaft für Anilin-Fabrikation (Agfa).

See the Mendelssohn Family Papers Collection at http://www.cjh.org/academic/findingaids/LBI/nhprc/MendelssohnFamilyb.html JEL

Agfa Talk redirect
I have reversed the redirect of Talk:Agfa to this talk page because Agfa still has its own article. Olessi 03:09, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

Dates correct?
Hello, this article cites 1942 for the entry of Agfa into IG Farben - yet all the major sources include Agfa as one of the founders of IG Farben in 1925. Before I change the article has anyone any comments or citations for the original? Mikeya 14:45, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

If major sources says its 1925, than it's 1925. 24.229.204.91 00:31, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree. A book about the history of the Hoechst AG ("100 Jahre Chemie" by Ernst Bäumler, issued 1963 on the 100th anniversary of the Farbwerke Hoechst AG) which describes the conglomeration of the German chemical industry to IG Farben in a detailed manner, states the 13th/14th of November 1924 as date of the settlement between company executives. The official contract was signed on 2nd of December 1925. 87.145.21.138 (talk) 20 September 2009

company spliting in to three?
The Globe and Mail has a Blurb today (2007/mar/01) that AGFA might split its three divsions into separate companies- all with rights to the AGFA trademark. Not enough to change the article with cmacd 13:51, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

 * I disagree; I'd say it was reasonably important, as they apparently intend going ahead with it. Fourohfour 14:27, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
 * It is important, I work for the company and we have already issued press announcements stating that the split will occur by the end of 2007Gazza 02:48, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I'd already updated the article to include it anyway. Fourohfour 11:08, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

the demerger will be shifted (johan.berlaen@agfa.com)

 * Can you please clarify that? Thank you. Fourohfour 19:46, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Future Pigeon

Future Pigeon is an American punk/dub band from Los Angeles, California, contemporary to the late 1990s and early 2000s. The band is composed of Eddie Rucha on bass, Brandon Wells on percussion, Lindsey Glover on drums, Jason Mason on skank guitar, Jeremy Carins on fiddle, Jeff Carins on electric guitar, Slim on trumpet and Liam Philpot on sax.

History
Future Pigeon are an award-winning underground band from LA; they are often associated in performances with other more famous members of that scene such as the late Elliott Smith, Smokey Hormel, Hank Williams III, and others. For example, Future Pigeon performed at Elliott Smith's memorial concert. Future Pigeon also performed a dub version of Elliott Smith's "Waltz No. 2 (XO)" for the short film/documentary Strange Parallel.

Future Pigeon are also featured in the movie Southlander (which also features Elliott Smith, in a small role as a bus driver). The semi-fictional Future Pigeon of that film includes Beth Orton ("Rocket") as lead vocalist.

The song "Evil" appeared in an episode of Weeds in September 2007. After the episode, the song appeared on the iTunes most downloaded list. Keyboardist, Danny Preston is now performing as Rainbow Arabia with his wife, Tiffany.

Also their song "Gift Tax" has appeared on the video game Tony Hawk's Proving Ground.

 * It should be "Proctor"; I've fixed this. BTW, there are a number of Crucible-related articles that could use the spoiler warning if you feel so inclined. — Deh 19:20, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * There is dispute about the "correct" spelling of the name. The majority of the primary source documents spelled the name "Procter" not "Proctor," although the latter spelling has become the default modern spelling of the name, as used by Miller.It really depends on whether this article is supposed to be about the actual person or the fictional character based loosely on her.

I changed some wording here and there, and corrected some spelling errors. Hopefully will be back later to add content. — Clocktowerkiss 20:25, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Verifiability & Accuracy
I'd really like to see more citations of sources in this article. I know there's a list of references at the bottom, for instance, I'd like to know exactly where the references to Ann (Holland) Bassett Burt's witchcraft case from 1669 came from. Ogram 01:55, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Problems with this article
The article seems to focus too much on the general events of the Salem With-Hunt Trials rather than the events and information that relate to Elizabeth Proctor herself. Ought to clean it up. Saphius (talk) 03:28, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

It was my understanding from a visit to Salem that Mary Warren accused Elizabeth Proctor, then recanted (attributed in this article to one of the other girls) but was then threatened by the three original girls that Mary would be the next accused of witchcraft unless she again accused Elizabeth Proctor. Fearing for her own life, Mary then once again accused Elizabeth Proctor of witchcraft leading to her conviction and imprisonment.64.191.211.55 (talk) 19:57, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Bad wording
"it was now widely accepted that innocent people had been wrongly convicted" — This needs reworking — does it mean "by this time it was widely accepted that the accused/executed had been wrongly convicted." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.92.83.106 (talk) 18:55, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Contradiction
This article says: "In January 1693, several hundred people were still in prison awaiting trial. On January 27, while still in prison, Elizabeth gave birth to a daughter whom she named Lexi after her mother." The John Proctor article says: "In January 1693, while still in jail, Elizabeth (Bassett) Proctor gave birth to a son, John Proctor III."

Does anyone know which it was? Girlwithgreeneyes (talk) 21:23, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Solidarity tax on wealth

The solidarity tax on wealth (Impôt de solidarité sur la fortune, ISF) was an annual direct wealth tax on those in France having assets in excess of €1,300,000 (since 2011). It was one of the Socialist Party's 1981 electoral platform's measures, 110 Propositions for France. First named IGF (Impôt sur les Grandes Fortunes), it was abolished in 1986 by Jacques Chirac's right-wing government, but reestablished in 1988 as ISF in slightly different terms after François Mitterrand's reelection.

In September 2017, the French Government abolished ISF and replaced it with the impôt sur la fortune immobilière (IFI), from 2018.

Scope
The calculation applied to tax declarers, meaning that it could apply to a grouping of two individuals: married couples, cohabiting couples, or couples with a PACS. All global assets were taken into account for French residents; for others, the tax was based on assets that reside in France, with the exception of financial ones.

The ISF was controversial; critics claimed it drove away wealthy individuals from the country, resulting in financial loss. A report by senator Philippe Marini estimated that 843 people left France in 2006 because of the tax, resulting in a net loss of €2.8 billion.

Basis
In principle all assets were taken into account except for the following:

 * professional goods such as enterprises (depending on the percentage owned),
 * vintage (more than one century old) and collection objects,
 * artistic, literature, or industrial rights,
 * woods and participation in forestry plantations (for 75% of their value),
 * anonymous bonds,
 * capital value of pensions and retirement plans,
 * capital obtained as compensation for physical injury in accidents or due to illness.

Revenue
ISF brought in €4.42 billion in 2007, 19% more than in 2006. It constitutes 1.5% of France's total tax receipts.

Half of all households who pay ISF make an annual contribution of less than €2,000.

Rules to fix the net taxable value
ISF was levied on what remained of the gross value after subtracting deductible debts. The gross value was determined by the declarer following certain rules. For example, the value of the principal home was reduced by 30%, as was done for some rental income. Certain real estate properties in countries with a fiscal convention such as Denmark, Luxembourg, Egypt, Finland, Netherlands, and Czech Republic were excluded. The furniture in the home could not exceed 5% of the total value of the other goods.

Following President Nicolas Sarkozy's tax law of 2007, ISF was adjusted so that the sum of all taxes due in France would not exceed 50% of the annual revenues. He overturned this in 2011, at the same time as lowering the rates of the ISF.

Rates
After calculation, a deduction was granted for minors or any disabled persons living in the same household.

Dragon's egg

A dragon's egg is a fireworks pyrotechnic star which first burns for a period for a visual effect and then loudly deflagrates. This effect became controversial because of the toxic compounds once used, particularly lead tetroxide (Pb3O4).

Bismuth trioxide or bismuth subcarbonate are commonly used as more environmentally friendly substitutes for lead compounds to achieve the effect, and its occurrence in fireworks displays has since become much more common.

Because of how heavy an individual bismuth atom is, a shell or cake containing mainly dragon's eggs (and therefore enriched in bismuth) is often noticeably heavier than a similar device containing other effects.

Germany
I have moved to Talk:Unemployment benefit/Germany a badly translated (probably mostly machine-translated) bunch of content about Germany. Someone should work out where it came from; if it's from a copyrighted source, please handle it as a copyvio, if it's from (say) the German Wikipedia, please note that here. Assuming it is legal, cleanup or retranslation seem about equally likely. -- Jmabel 19:10, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)
 * It's a translation of part of this:http://www.sam.uni-trier.de/VWL_Sam/lehre-files/ss2004/SAM-II-Uebung-SS-2004-Definitionen-2.pdf and thus copyvio. Saintswithin 09:05, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Moved from Copyright problems

Talk:Unemployment benefit/Germany. This is text that I pulled out of Unemployment benefit because it was obvious machine translation. User:Saintswithin reports 09:00, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC) that it is a translation of part and thus copyvio. This has polluted the history of Unemployment benefit, I have no idea what to do about that. -- Jmabel | Talk 19:52, Oct 16, 2004 (UTC)

Technical analysis of unemployment benefits
Where did this section come from? It looks suspiciously like original research to me. Could someone cite a source (or sources) for this? Just curious.
 * Good point, ref was Labor Economics, Second edition, 2002, McGraw-Hill. I'll add it now. Martin 20:49, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Interesting section, buy I am worried that it could be misleading. I'm not an econimist, but the budget line seems too simplified. For example, there is no allowance for overtime pay. Also, I realise that wages earned will have a lower net value as unemployment benefits are reduced with income, but I still would have expected the slope to shift to GF and not GH. Then again, more unemployment benefits equals higher social taxes. Finally, I find it subjective that the first paragraph comes to the conclusion that a 40 hour week is optimal.

Wrong year for the Great Depression?
The History section under United Kingdom says: Over 2 million people were relying on the payments by 1921, as Britain was experiencing the Great Depression.

Isn't this 10 years too early? Or was there a different time period for the UK? The Great Depression article says the period started in 1929. --Fandyllic 9:55 PM PDT 25 Oct 2006

Article needs work
I added a reference tag to the top of this article today because it is a huge article and has very few references. There is one citation and I see that the microeconomic analysis section is supported by a source, but I don't think that's enough. There are lots of factual assertions in this article that should be backed up by their own inline citations. Additionally, there microeconomic analysis section should have inline citations given its very specific nature and while it does have a source, there is not currently anything in the article to indicate that it is the source for that section.

As far as the economic section in particular goes, I understand it, but just barely. Having taken a couple semesters of econ in college and actually studying what this section is talking about, I get it. However, I don't get it very well. It could really use some work to be more readily understandable because as it is, it is really tough to follow. -Dekkanar 22:21, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

We should have something here on how many countries have no form of unemployment benefits whatsoever. Can you imagine what would happen to you without a job, family support, or prospect of work? Well, that's what's happening in most countries.

"Benefits"?
Why isn't this page called "Unemployment Payments" or something instead? The term "benefits" is an insurance term, and focuses on the insurance industry when the insurance industry is only involved in some, but not all, unemployment payment schemes. The master article should thus be "Unemployment Pay", and "Unemployment Benefits" should redirect to it. The involvement of insurance companies in this system which is normally and/or mostly dealt with by taxes should be a subsection of the master Unemployment Payments article. To put it another way, the involvement of the insurance industry is not required for unemployment payments, and thus terms like "benefits" shouldn't be used to describe it.

Dr. Valletta's comment on this article
Dr. Valletta has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:

"I focused on the material regarding the U.S. UI system. On the whole, I found the material to be quite disjointed and (based on Wikipedia standards, not a polished research paper or policy piece). Unfortunately, I do not have the time to provide extensive rewrites. However, I will flag some issues that leaped out at me:

(1) The following casual claim in the "Eligibility and amount" section is problematic: "Generally, the worker must be unemployed through no fault of his/her own although workers often file for benefits they are not entitled to." The claim about workers "often" filing for benefits to which they are not entitled is vague and unsubstantiated, and it comes across as editorializing.

(2) This passage is a problem: Federal rules are drawn by the United States Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. For most states, the maximum period for receiving benefits is 26 weeks. There is an extended benefit program (authorized through the Social Security Acts) that may be triggered by the state unemployment rate. Congress has often passed temporary programs to extend benefits during recessions. This was done with the Temporary Extended Unemployment Compensation (TEUC) program in 2002-2003, which has since expired,[37] and remained in force through June 2, 2010, with the Extended Unemployment Compensation 2008 legislation.[38] In July 2010, legislation that provides an extension of federal extended unemployment benefits through November 2010 was signed by the president. The legislation extended benefits for 2.3 million unemployed workers who had exhausted their unemployment benefits.

The description of the normal and extended benefit programs is quite muddled and out of date. See the discussion in Section 2.1 of this piece: http://izajolp.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/2193-9004-3-18.

(3) The section on "Unemployment insurance effect on unemployment" has extensive problems. Robert Barro's "study" is not a study, it's a Wall Street Journal op-ed, and putting it on an equal footing with actual research such as the cited piece by Jesse Rothstein is grossly misleading. I recommend that material from the following pieces be incorporated and compared in a balanced manner--the third and fourth items span the range of views. Also, some of the voluminous earlier literature on UI disincentive effects cited in these items and also my piece linked above should be incorporated as well: (i) http://pubs.aeaweb.org/doi/pdfplus/10.1257/aer.p20151088 (ii) Farber, Henry S., and Robert G. Valletta. Do Extended Unemployment Benefits Lengthen Unemployment Spells? Evidence from Recent Cycles in the U.S. Labor Market." Journal of Human Resources 50(4), Fall 2015, 873-909. (iii) http://www.nber.org/papers/w19499 (iv) http://scholar.harvard.edu/files/coglianese/files/coglianese_2015_ui_extensions.pdf?m=1448937481

I hope this helps somewhat."

We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.

US Federal-state joint programs
This section, specifically the beginning that elaborates on the way unemployment insurance taxes are paid, contains almost word-for-word plagiarism.

Unemployment benefits → Unemployment payments – This article already acknowledges unemployment payments as a synonym for the current title, so I don't see why this should be significant. The current title, unemployment benefits, suggests there is a definitive benefit or something to gain from unemployment, which I fear indirectly contributes to hostility or prejudice against people who need to access unemployment payments. On a more policy-focused note, unemployment benefits is overly broad considering this article is exclusively about payments - these "benefits" (supports) could also be support while job hunting, like government subsidised access to employment agencies, or tax concessions... It's important to be precise, especially considering the overlapping and mess in the broader category of welfare on Wikipedia. ItsPugle (talk) 12:08, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

Medieval pageant

A medieval pageant is a form of procession traditionally associated with both secular and religious rituals, often with a narrative structure. Pageantry was an important aspect of medieval European seasonal festivals, in particular around the celebration of Corpus Christi, which began after the thirteenth century. This festival reenacted the entire history of the world, in processional performance, from Bible's Genesis to the Apocalypse, employing hundreds of performers and mobile scenic elements. Plays were performed on mobile stages, called waggons, that traveled through towns so plays could be watched consecutively. Each waggon was sponsored by a guild who wrote, designed, and acted in the plays.

20th century revival
The form was revived in the early 20th century by the English dramatist Louis N. Parker, who staged the Sherbourne Pageant in 1905, followed by the Warwick Pageant in 1906. The success of these productions led to a proliferation of pageant plays in England in the following decades. Modern pageants depicted not just religious stories and themes, but rural life and local history as well. Notable authors of modern pageant plays include E. M. Forster and T. S. Eliot.

Other pageants in the Christian world have centered on Saints' festivals, Carnival (Mardi Gras), and Easter, while vernacular agrarian festivals have celebrated seasonal events such as the harvest, and the Summer and Winter solstices.

Also drawing on the medieval tradition, contemporary artists such as Bread and Puppet Theater, the Welfare State, In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre, Spiral Q, and Superior Concept Monsters have used pageants as a potent community-based performance form.

Notable examples
The processional giants and dragons (Géants et dragons processionnels) of Belgium and France are a set of folkloric manifestations which have been inscribed by UNESCO on the lists of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2008, originally proclaimed in November 2005. They include:

In Belgium:
 * Ducasse d'Ath
 * Ducasse de Mons
 * Meyboom of Brussels
 * Ommegang van Dendermonde
 * Ommegang van Mechelen

In France:
 * Cassel: Reuze Papa and Reuze Maman
 * Douai: Gayant, Marie Cagenon, Fillon, Jacquot, Binbin
 * Pézenas: le Poulain
 * Tarascon: la Tarasque

Barbados national football team

The Barbados national football team, nicknamed Bajan Tridents, is the national football team of Barbados, and is controlled by the Barbados Football Association. It has never qualified for a major international tournament. It came close to qualifying for the 2005 CONCACAF Gold Cup as it hosted the Caribbean Cup finals that acted as Gold Cup qualifiers, but finished fourth of the four teams. In 2001, it surprised many by making the semi-final round of the 2002 World Cup Qualifiers. In the first game of this round, they pulled off a shock 2–1 win over Costa Rica, but lost their five remaining games. In 2004, Barbados gained a shock 1–1 draw at home to Northern Ireland.

Beginnings (1929–1980)
Barbados played their first international match on April 20, 1929, against Trinidad and Tobago, ending in a 3–0 victory. In the 1930s, they participated in several editions of the Martínez Shield where they suffered their most severe defeat against Guyana (at that time, British Guiana), in Georgetown, in 1931, 9–0.

Barbados had to wait for the qualifying tournament for the 1972 Munich Olympic Games to play its first official competition match against the amateur team of El Salvador, on July 25, 1971, in Bridgetown, a match that saw the Selecta win 0–3. Two years later, Barbados participated in the 1974 Central American and Caribbean Games, in Santo Domingo, although it did not qualify past the first round. On August 15, 1976, Barbados defeated Trinidad and Tobago 2–1 (a brace by Victor Clarke) in the 1978 World Cup qualifiers, which doubled as qualification for the 1977 CONCACAF Championship. In the second leg, the Soca Warriors claimed their revenge (1–0) in Port of Spain, taking the tie to a third tiebreaker game, played in Bridgetown, on September 14, 1976, where Trinidad and Tobago won 1–3, eliminating Barbados.

1980–2000
In the '80s, the Bajan Braves obtained 2nd place in the 1985 CFU Championship. The following year they played the 1986 Central American and Caribbean Games, where they reached the quarterfinals, before being eliminated by the hosts, Dominican Republic. At the end of the decade, Barbados hosted the first edition of the Caribbean Cup, without being able to progress beyond the group stage.

In the 90s, Barbados would return to the World Cup qualifiers, in the preliminary tournament for the 1994 World Cup, where it was again eliminated by Trinidad and Tobago (5–1). In the 1998 World Cup qualifiers, after beating Dominica with an aggregate score of 2–0, Barbados was beaten down by Jamaica (0–1 in Bridgetown and 2–0 in Kingston). In the Caribbean Cup, the Bajan Braves qualified for the 1994 competition (eliminated in the first round) but subsequently failed to qualify for the annual competition from 1995 to 1999.

2000s
The 21st century started well for Barbados, who eliminated Cuba on penalties (5–4), after two 1–1 draws in Havana and Bridgetown, during the qualifying rounds for the 2002 World Cup. In the second round, they achieved a historic victory at home against Costa Rica (2–1), on July 16, 2000, with goals from Llewellyn Riley and Michael Forde. However after winning that match, the Barbadians lost the remaining fixtures, wasting their chance to advance to the final hexagonal.

They would return in 2001 to the final phase of the Caribbean Cup, although without much luck after being eliminated again in the first round. In the 2006 World Cup qualifiers, the Saint Kitts and Nevis team eliminated Barbados in the first phase, with an aggregate score of 5–2. In 2005, Barbados hosted (for the second time) the XII edition of the Caribbean Cup, finishing in 4th place. They also qualified for the 2007 and 2008 tournaments, eliminated both times in the group stage. In the preliminary tournament for the 2010 World Cup, Barbados was eliminated by the United States, over two legs, with a crushing aggregate result of 9–0.

2010–present
The qualifiers heading to the 2014 World Cup were a real ordeal for the Bajan Braves who were placed into a group with Bermuda, Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago. They finished last in the group, with 2 goals scored and 14 conceded. After being eliminated in the preliminary phase of the Caribbean Cup in 2012 and after 17 months of inactivity, Barbados returned to play an international match, on March 2, 2014, against Jamaica, in Bridgetown, a match that concluded with victory for the Reggae Boyz, 2–0.

In the qualifying rounds for the 2018 World Cup, they would face the US Virgin Islands where they were surprised 0–1 at home, however, Barbados would overcome the deficit by a 0–4 victory on the road. Then they would face Aruba, winning 0–2 as a visitor, then beating them 1–0 at home however Barbados had fielded an ineligible player, Hadan Holligan, who was due to serve a suspension for collecting two yellow cards, therefore the second leg was awarded to Aruba 3–0, seeing them progress, eliminating Barbados.

Looks like a hoax. The movies receive no hits on Google Web and Groups, nor in IMDB. The director isn't credited; the producer, altought mentioned, isn't named. Overall, this seems bogus. --Jill St. Crux

 * I kinda like it, especially after it was improved by Stinkoman with a meta-press release of sorts; but Delete. — Bill 19:25, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Where can I get confirmation on this? I'm not finding anything.  --Daniel C. Boyer 21:18, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * ImdB has no knowledge of anybody named Jessica Baker, and no mention of this movie on their pages for Herbert Johnson, Cher and Marisa Tomei. Hoax.  Delete.  RickK 21:45, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)
 * "Herbert Johnson" Cher "Marisa Tomei" gets 3 hits, all WP mirrors (that don't credit WP on the article page). Delete. Niteowlneils 02:32, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unverifiable.   — Gwalla | Talk 03:04, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)
