Phase two consists of a further 13 turbines which will provide power for over 10,000 homes, mitigating around 44,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.

Notable people

 * Saint Ita was born in County Waterford around 480. She founded a monastery at Cluain Chreadhail, present day Killeedy, and became known as Brigid of Munster. An old legend was that she once cursed the people of Tournafulla when she was taking her donkeys to the monastery farm at Seeconglass near Mountcollins. The people of Tournafulla set their dogs on her donkeys who ran away. Upon catching up with her donkeys, she discovered that one of the donkeys was lame from a thorn stuck in its foot. St. Ita removed it and planted it near her convent where it grew into a thorn bush. It is alleged that her footprint, and that of her donkey, were left near where the Allaghaun and Skule rivers meet in Upper Tournafulla and those with ailments could be cured once they placed their feet in the footprints.
 * Tadhg Gaelach Ó Súilleabháin (c. 1715 – 1795), 18th century composer of both Christian poetry and Irish bardic poetry in Munster Irish.

Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts

Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts (BTWHSPVA) is a public secondary school located in the Arts District of downtown Dallas, Texas, United States. Booker T. Washington HSPVA enrolls students in grades 9-12 and is the Dallas Independent School District's arts magnet school (thus, it is often locally referred to simply as Arts Magnet). Many accomplished performers and artists have been educated in the school, including Norah Jones, Erykah Badu, Adario Strange, Valarie Rae Miller, Edie Brickell, Kennedy Davenport, Sandra St. Victor, Roy Hargrove, and Scott Westerfeld. Baseball Hall of Famer Ernie Banks is among the most notable graduates of the school previous to its conversion to the Arts Magnet.

History
In 1892, Dallas established its first high school for African-American pupils. In 1911, the school was enlarged and named the Dallas Colored High School. The school was moved in 1922 to larger quarters, designed by famed Dallas architects Lang and Witchell, and renamed Booker T. Washington High School, after the African-American education pioneer Booker T. Washington. For many years, it was the only Dallas high school that allowed students of color.

In 1939, Wilmer-Hutchins Colored High School of the Wilmer-Hutchins ISD burned down in a fire. Afterwards, African-American WHISD students were sent to DISD high schools for "colored" people such as Washington.

In 1942, teacher Thelma Paige Richardson sued the Dallas School District, demanding equalization of pay based upon tenure and merit; the school district denied that any discrimination was taking place. Richardson, with the help of the NAACP, won the case, increasing general awareness of discrimination in the public school system.

In 1952, it was enlarged yet again, and given the new name as Booker T. Washington Technical High School.

In 1976, the school was repurposed as the Arts Magnet at Booker T. Washington High School, inheriting and expanding the magnet-school curricula that had been in place in the Performing Arts and Visual Arts clusters of Skyline High School's Career Development Center since 1970. The Arts Magnet became a prototype for magnet schools across the country. The repurposing was part of the federal court desegregation orders that created the magnet school system in Dallas ISD (Tasby v. Estes ). Paul Baker was selected by Superintendent Estes as founding director of the school.

The neighborhood surrounding Washington has evolved into the Dallas Arts District. The main school building was designated an official Dallas Landmark in 2006.

In 2008, the building was enlarged a third time when a new $65-million facility designed by Brad Cloepfil of Allied Works Architecture, was completed. The expansion preserved the historic main building.

Statistics
The attendance rate for students at the school is 96%, equal with the state average; 32% of the students at Washington are economically disadvantaged, 2% enroll in special education, 31% enroll in gifted and talent programs, and 1% are considered "limited English proficient." The class of 2017 managed to receive over $60 million in offered scholarships and grants.

The ethnic makeup of the school is 39% White American, 23% African American, 32% Hispanic American, 3% Asian American/Pacific Islander American, 3% multiracial, and 1% American Indian/Alaskan Native.

The average class sizes at Washington are 20 students for English, 27 for foreign language, 19 for math, 22 for science, and 25 for social studies.

Opus, Greece

Opus (Ὀποῦς or Ὀπόεις ) was an ancient Greek city that was the chief city of a tribe of Locri, who were called from this place the Opuntian Locrians, and the territory, the Opuntian Locris.

It was located on the coast of mainland Greece opposite Euboea, perhaps at modern Atalanti. Its harbor was at Kynos. It stood at the head of the Opuntian Gulf, a little inland, being 15 stadia from the shore according to Strabo, or only a mile according to Livy. Opus was believed to be one of the most ancient towns in Greece. Pindar's ninth Olympian ode concerns Opus. It was said to have been founded by Opus, a son of Locrus and Protogeneia; and in its neighbourhood Deucalion and Pyrrha were reported to have resided. It was the native city of Patroclus, and it is mentioned in the Homeric Catalogue of Ships as one of the Locrian towns whose troops were led by Ajax the Lesser, son of Oileus the king of Locris, in the Iliad There were games called Aiantea and an altar at Opus in honor of Ajax.

During the flourishing period of Greek history, it was regarded as the chief city of the eastern Locrians, for the distinction between the Opuntii and Epicnemidii is not made either by Herodotus, Thucydides, or Polybius. Even Strabo, from whom the distinction is chiefly derived, in one place describes Opus as the capital of the Epicnemidii; and the same is confirmed by Pliny and Stephanus of Byzantium. The Opuntii joined Leonidas with all their forces at the Battle of Thermopylae, and sent seven ships to the Greek fleet at Battle of Artemisium (480 BCE). Subsequently they belonged to the anti-Athenian party in Greece. Accordingly, after the conquest of Boeotia by the Athenians, which followed the Battle of Oenophyta, in 456 BCE, the Athenians carried off 100 of the richest Opuntians as hostages. In the Peloponnesian War the Opuntian privateers annoyed the Athenian trade, and it was in order to check them that the Athenians fortified the small island of Atalanta off the Opuntian coast. In the war between Antigonus and Cassander, Opus espoused the cause of the latter, and was therefore besieged by Ptolemy, the general of Antigonus. In 198 BCE, during the Second Macedonian War they went over to the Romans.

The site of Opus is near the modern town of Atalanti.

Barrie Flyers

The Barrie Flyers were a junior ice hockey team in the Ontario Hockey Association from 1945 to 1960, from Barrie, Ontario. The Flyers played home games at the Barrie Arena from 1945 to 1960.

History
The Barrie Flyers junior team was founded in 1945 by Leighton "Hap" Emms. The franchise was soon affiliated with the Boston Bruins of the NHL. Barrie quickly became a powerhouse in the OHA. They appeared in the Memorial Cup three times, losing the first time in 1948, then winning twice, in 1951 and 1953. The Emms family relocated the team to Niagara Falls in 1960 where the team continued to win and played for 12 seasons, then relocated to Sudbury to become the Sudbury Wolves.

1948 Memorial Cup
Barrie won the right to play for the cup by defeating the Windsor Spitfires for the OHA championship, and the Montreal Nationales to win the Richardson Trophy as eastern Canadian representatives.

The Flyers were runners up for the Memorial Cup in 1948 played at Maple Leaf Gardens. They were swept by the Port Arthur West End Bruins (now Thunder Bay) in a best-of-seven series.

The series was very physical and bitter between the teams. After the third game, Emms threatened that the Flyers would not continue to play without a change in referees. The series ultimately continued with the same referees.

Game 1 Port Arthur 10 vs. Barrie  8 Game 2 Port Arthur  8 vs. Barrie  1 Game 3 Port Arthur  5 vs. Barrie  4 Game 4 Port Arthur  9 vs. Barrie  8 (OT)

1951 Memorial Cup

Barrie won the OHA championship defeating the Toronto Marlboros.

Canadian Amateur Hockey Association vice-president W. B. George oversaw the Flyers versus Quebec Citadels series for the George Richardson Memorial Trophy, to represent Eastern Canada in the 1951 Memorial Cup playoffs. When the Citadels refused to play game five in Barrie, George gave them an ultimatum to play or forfeit the series. Quebec decided to play too late to arrive by train, but arrived half an hour late after flying. George scheduled game seven on neutral ice at Maple Leaf Gardens, despite protests from Flyers' coach Hap Emms who claimed that his team only agreed to resume the series if game seven was played in Barrie.

The Flyers won the Memorial Cup in 1951 played at Winnipeg and Brandon, Manitoba. They swept the Winnipeg Monarchs in a best-of-seven series.

Game 1 Barrie 5 vs. Winnipeg 1 Game 2 Barrie 5 vs. Winnipeg 1 Game 3 Barrie 4 vs. Winnipeg 3 Game 4 Barrie 9 vs. Winnipeg 5

1953 Memorial Cup
Barrie won the right to play for the cup by defeating the St. Michael's Majors for the OHA championship. The Flyers won the Memorial Cup in 1953 played at Winnipeg and Brandon, Manitoba. They defeated the St. Boniface Canadiens in a best-of-seven series.

Game 1 Barrie 6 vs. St. Boniface 4 Game 2 Barrie 6 vs. St. Boniface 3 Game 3 Barrie 7 vs. St. Boniface 5 Game 4 Barrie 4 vs. St. Boniface 7 Game 5 Barrie 6 vs. St. Boniface 1

Championships
The Barrie Flyers were a dominant team during the late 1940s and early 1950s, and one of a few clubs to win multiple Memorial Cup championships. The Flyers won the Ontario championship 4 times, the Eastern Canadian championship 3 times, and the national championship twice.

Comparison of baseball and softball

A comparison of the differences between baseball and softball can be made as softball is directly descended from baseball. An observer of one game would find the other very similar, but there are several important rule differences.

Fastpitch softball is more popular in competitive leagues, especially at the college and international tournament levels, while slow pitch is more popular in recreational leagues where the relative skill levels of different players may vary widely. The different rules of slowpitch can be viewed as maintaining a competitive balance for less skilled players by eliminating certain strategies (e.g., base stealing and bunting) which require a high level of skill to counter. Additionally, recreational leagues may impose their own ground rules, either for competitive balance or to meet local constraints (e.g., a time limit may be imposed on a game to ensure multiple games can be played in one day). A regulation softball is significantly larger than a regulation baseball. A softball measures between 11.88 and 12.13 inches in circumference and weighs between 6.25 and 7.00 ounces; a baseball measures between 9.00 and 9.25 inches in circumference and weighs between 5.00 and 5.25 ounces.

Dario Floreano

Dario Floreano (born 1964 in San Daniele del Friuli, Italy) is a Swiss-Italian roboticist and engineer. He is Director of the Laboratory of Intelligent System (LIS) at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland and was the founding director of the Swiss National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) Robotics.

Education and career
Floreano received a bachelor's degree from the University of Trieste with a major in visual psychophysics in 1988. In 1989, he joined the Italian National Research Council in Rome as research fellow. He received a master's degree in computer sciences with a specialisation in neural computation from the University of Stirling in 1992. In 1995, he earned a PhD in artificial intelligence and robotics from the University of Trieste. Following a position as Chief Scientific Officer at Cognitive Technology Laboratory Ltd, he joined the EPFL in 1996 as group leader in the Department of Computer Science. In 2000, Floreano was first named Assistant Professor, then in 2005 Associate Professor and in 2010 Full Professor of Intelligent Systems at EPFL's School of Engineering. He was the founding director of the Swiss National Center of Competence in Robotics, which ran for 12 years, between 2010 and 2022. Floreano was named "AI influencer in Switzerland" in 2021. Since 2022, Floreano is a Fellow of the European Center for Living Technologies (ECLT) and since 2023 a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). He also currently serves as an Advisor Board Member for the ELLIS Tübingen Institute for Machine Learning and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems.

Research
Floreano is interested in design principles of biologically-inspired intelligent systems with emphasis on the interplay between artificial intelligence, embodiment, and the environment. Over the past 20 years, he has put significant effort into understanding and designing small aerial machines with biologically-inspired perception, morphology, and behaviour that can be operated in novel ways by, and around, humans.

One of the key research avenues explored in Floreano laboratory is the field of drone perception and design, with several contributions to the design and autonomous control of aerial swarms. In earlier work, Floreano demonstrated the world’s first team of 10 fixed-wing drones capable of coordinated outdoor flight by means of novel control algorithms that relied only on local radio communication among neighbouring drones: an algorithm based on ant-colony exploration and an algorithm based on evolutionary algorithms. He then used the 10 fixed-wing drones to study Reynold’s flocking algorithms and showed that the vehicle agility and communication range among the drones significantly affected swarm cohesion. Dario Floreano also proposed novel mechanical design and control methods for exploration of buildings by drone swarms: these drones were designed to perch on ceilings for energy saving, and detecting and communicating with other drones. These algorithms and drones, a.k.a. eyebots, were successfully demonstrated in synergetic operation with a swarm of terrestrial robots (footbots) and manipulating robots (handbots) in a mission aimed at finding and retrieving a book placed on a shelf in a room. Floreano and his team later also studied sound-based swarming and have shown that a quadcopter equipped with a microphone array could detect the range and bearing of another emitting high-frequency chirps. In most recent work, Floreano developed a method for vision-based aerial swarms, whereby drones use onboard cameras to detect each other and autonomously coordinate their own motion with swarm algorithms, showing that drones can safely navigate in an outdoor environment despite substantial background clutter and difficult lighting conditions. At the same time, Floreano's team was able to demonstrate autonomous swarming through cluttered environments with model predictive control, where their approach improved the speed, order and safety of the swarm, independently of the environment layout, whilst being scalable in swarm speed and inter-agent distance.

In parallel to the design and autonomous control of aerial swarms, Dario Floreano has been studying body-machine interfaces for more intuitive and immersive tele-robotic operation of drones. His team developed a novel BoMI method to automatically map spontaneous human gestures aimed at interacting with robotic devices. Floreano also developed a soft exoskeleton, called a FlyJacket, coupled with virtual reality goggles and smart gloves to allow non-expert persons to naturally control a drone in search and rescue missions. Floreano's FlyJacket solution was tested by nearly 500 persons at public demonstrations in Lausanne, Zurich, London and Boston. More recently, Floreano and his team showed that haptic feedback is effective at improving BoMI with a drone. His team also developed fabric-based wearable clutches to train humans in more challenging drone teleoperation tasks. This method used haptic feedback to restrain elbow motion and make users aware of their errors, allowing them to consciously learn to prevent errors from occurring. Furthermore, Floreano is interested in studying the effectiveness of different viewpoints in robotic teleoperation with Virtual Reality displays and has developed a machine learning method for extracting the BoMI for drone operation, which showed preliminary results on learning to use hand gestures for steering a swarm in third-person view.

Current work at the LIS also investigates avian-inspired drones, which can morph both their wing and tail surfaces by folding feathers and changing sweep angles in order to improve flight capabilities. Studies have indicated that wing and tail morphing strategy and their synergy enhance the flight agility, maneuverability, stability, and energy efficiency. Other avian-inspired systems being developed by Dario Floreano and his team include mechanisms for perching and terrestrial locomotion.

Another line of research in the Floreano lab has focussed on soft and self-organizing robots. Floreano has studied the design and manufacture of multi-cellular soft robots and developed new functional materials for these applications. His team also studies various aspects of tensegrity robotic systems, which includes modular design, development of manufacturing techniques, and investigation of functional materials. Amongst other examples, Floreano and his team work on new designs for a soft tensegrity robots, which could roll and jump, promising potential applications in disaster mitigation or space exploration. Other designs have included a biomimetic tensegrity fish-like robot, with potential in underwater exploration, inspection and rescue. Most recently, Floreano has been interested in the variable stiffness capabilities of tensegrity systems, which would incorporate novel technologies based on smart materials and elaborate manufacturing techniques. For example, he developed variable stiffness cables based on low melting point alloy (LMPA) smart materials, which could be toggled between rigid and soft states of tensegrity modules. His team also proposed a design for dual stiffness ball joint connections that can switch between a rigid and compliant connection, which were used to design a tensegrity-based spine structure. Another recent example involves dual stiffness rod elements, which can be integrated in the design of robotic joints for rovers and drones to increase their impact and collision resilience. In a related line of research, Floreano looks at the coevolution of the morphology of tensegrity robots, where he studies the influence of the form and stiffness of tensegrity modules on the evolution of the body and the brain of tensegrity robots. Floreano and his team showed how different morphology, control and locomotion strategies could be obtained based on varying stiffness of the tensegrity modules.

Dario Floreano has published hundreds of peer-reviewed articles, tens of patents, as well as five books on neural networks, evolutionary robotics, bio-inspired artificial intelligence, bio-inspired flying robots, and most recently on "How Intelligent Machines Will Shape Our Future". In 2017, Floreano was featured by The Economist in a centre-page portrait as a pioneer in evolutionary robotics and aerial robotics. He was co-founder and member of the Board of Directors of the International Society for Artificial Life, Inc., member of the Board of Governors of the International Society for Neural Networks, Advisory Board member of the Future and Emerging Technology division of the European Commission, and founding members and vice-chair of the General Agenda Council on Robotics of the World Economic Forum.

It's kind of odd how much duplication there is here vs. barcode. Matrix barcodes are a strict subset of barcodes. Probably the duplicated info should be eliminated in one or the other location.

As noted in the main article, the table is apparently a copy the 2-dimensional barcode section of bar code. Unless there is some great need for an article specifically on matrix barcodes, it would be ideal if this article was cut down to a short explanation redirecting readers to bar code. There are only a small number of articles linking to this page, including a redirect from 2D barcode. This entire area is in need of a whole lot of love. Zubari 16:20, 2004 Oct 3 (UTC)

Graham Stuart Thomas

Graham Stuart Thomas (3 April 1909 – 17 April 2003) was an English horticulturist, who is likely best known for his work with garden roses, his restoration and stewardship of over 100 National Trust gardens and for writing 19 books on gardening, many of which remain classics today. However, as he states in the Preface to his outstanding book, The Rock Garden and its Plants: From Grotto to Alpine House, "My earliest enthusiasms in gardening were for....alpines." p8

In his obituary in the Los Angeles Times, Clair Martin, rose curator of Huntington Botanical Gardens said: "Thomas set about preserving the heritage of old roses when many of them were on the verge of extinction".

Early life
Graham Stuart Thomas was born in Cambridge into a family of keen amateur gardeners and musicians. His father William Richard Thomas was a clerk to Cambridge University syndicate. He is said to have developed his interest in plants at the age of six, when he was given a fuchsia as a gift. On another occasion, he spent a birthday present of half a crown buying alpine plants on Cambridge Market. By the age of eight. he had decided to make gardening his career.

At 17, he joined Cambridge University Botanic Garden, which enabled him to also attend university lectures on horticulture and botany. These lectures were his only formal education in the field of horticulture, although as a member of staff at the botanic garden he built up a practical and theoretical knowledge that would become the foundation of his career. One of his earliest design projects was working on the rose garden there.

Horticultural career
In 1930, Thomas joined the then famous Six Hills Nursery in Stevenage, working under alpine expert Clarence Elliott. The following year he became foreman at T. Hilling & Co (Hillings), a renowned 300-acre nursery near Chobham, Surrey.

It was while working at Hillings that Thomas met the formidable garden designer Gertrude Jekyll, then aged 88, when he wrote her a letter and she invited him for a cup of tea and a chat about gardening. She became a mentor to the young gardener, passing on her theories of garden design as an art. It was around this time that Thomas began to collect old shrub and climbing rose varieties, many of which had fallen out of favour because they only flowered once during the season.

Thomas became partner at Sunningdale Nurseries – then the most revered nursery in the country – with Jim Russell. The partners became known for planting schemes that focused on form and foliage, as much as flowers. At Sunningdale, Thomas established his entire collection of roses. It was here also that he began introducing new or rediscovered garden plants – notable introductions from this period include the perennial Geranium 'Claridge Druce'. While Thomas would become associated with many other projects, he would remain a director of the Sunningdale nursery until 1971. Thomas's first important publication about roses was a booklet called The Manual of Shrub Roses, describing all the varieties, with advice on cultivation. In the foreword he described the booklet's aim as: "To bring forth these lovely things from retirement." His classic books on roses – Old Shrub Roses (1955), Shrub Roses Of Today (1962) and Climbing Roses Old And New (1965) followed and cemented his influence. They also provided much-needed information about the history and extent of the genus at a time when old varieties were being overshadowed by their repeat flowering and showier cousins hybrid teas and floribundas.

Work with the National Trust
Thomas began an informal association with the National Trust in the late 1940s, initially working at Hidcote Manor when it passed to the Trust in 1948. The relationship was formalised when he became its official gardens adviser in 1955. This was a relationship that was to continue for the succeeding 20 years and gave him the opportunity to work with a vast array of plants in spectacular historic settings, such as Sissinghurst Castle and Mount Stewart. It is Mottisfont Abbey – a creation that he himself described as a "masterpiece" – where his rose collection found its final home, and where his garden design skills can be best appreciated. He also assisted with the 1968 restoration of the Sezincote gardens.

Gardening accolades and legacy
In 1975, Thomas received the OBE for his work with the National Trust. Other awards included the Royal Horticultural Society's Veitch Memorial Medal in 1966 and Victoria Medal of Honour in 1968. He received a Gold Medal from the RHS for his paintings and drawings, the Dean Hole Medal from the Royal National Rose Society and the Garden Writers' Guild Lifetime Achievement Award in 1996.

In addition to his garden designs, books and illustrations, Thomas is remembered by name in various garden plants, including the vigorous honeysuckle Lonicera periclymenum 'Graham Thomas' and the 1983 David Austin rose 'Graham Thomas'.

He influenced a number of other notable rose growers, including Peter Beales, who worked with him for a short time at Hillings.

Talk:History of Montreal

PAT,RDP,St-Mich
Somebody added this: three towns (Pointe-aux-Trembles, Rivière des Prairies and Saint-Michel) were annexed to Montreal in 1978. I know for a fact that Pointe-aux-Trembles merged with Montreal in 1982, not 1978. I think Saint-Michel merged in 1968 but I am not sure. Maybe someone who knows more about the history of Montreal can fix this. Paul99 21:38, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

John Okada

John Kozo Okada (岡田 幸三, September 23, 1923 – February 20, 1971) was a Japanese American novelist known for his critically acclaimed novel No-No Boy.

Biography
Born in Seattle, Okada was a student at the University of Washington during the attack on Pearl Harbor. Okada had to interrupt his studies, and he and his family were among thousands of American citizens interned at Minidoka War Relocation Center in 1942 as a result of Executive Order 9066.

Okada was taken out of the internment camp and recruited to the United States Army Air Forces after he completed a loyalty questionnaire which asked him to "forswear allegiance" to the Emperor of Japan. He served as a Japanese translator, overflying Japanese forces in the Pacific and translating intercepted Japanese communications.

After the war, Okada returned to his educational pursuits, earning a bachelor's degree in English and a second bachelor's degree in library science from the University of Washington, as well as a master's degree in English from Columbia University. In 1956, Okada completed the manuscript for his novel No-No Boy, which was published the following year.

Over the years, Okada worked several different jobs including as a librarian and technical writer. Okada died of a heart attack on February 20, 1971, at the age of 47. He was survived by his wife Dorothy, as well as a son and a daughter. He is interred at Evergreen Washelli Memorial Park in Seattle.

Okada's younger brother Frank Okada was a noted abstract expressionist painter.

Literary works
Okada's only completed and published novel, No-No Boy (1957) deals with the aftermath of the Japanese American internment during World War II, Japanese-American identity, and how this event divided the Japanese American population after the war. He explored feelings among Japanese nationals, some of whom still held dreams of a return to Japan, and among their native-born American children, who felt conflicted about their identity but identified with the United States. Some of both generations were intensely bitter about their treatment in being interned during the war, in addition to the substantial economic and social losses they had suffered. John Okada's “No-No Boy” captures the injustice of incarcerating Japanese-Americans during World War II — and serves as a warning today for our own fractured society.

The protagonist is a native-born American of Japanese descent who answered "No" on two important questions posed by the government: would he vow loyalty and would he enlist in the Army? Those who answered "no" were sentenced to two years in prison. On returning to Seattle after prison, he has to confront veterans whom he knew from before the war, some of whom were wounded and all of whom look down on him. He also struggles with his parents, as his mother clings to the belief that Japan did not lose the war and eventually loses her sanity.

The novel did not get much notice, coming too soon after the war for people to want to explore the harshness of his portrayal and confrontation with hard questions. Okada's novel was rediscovered by some writers from Los Angeles in 1976, who tracked down his wife to meet her and see if she had any of his manuscripts. She had struggled after his death and, unable to find a publisher interested in his next manuscript and disappointed at the rejection of his papers by UCLA, she burned everything: novel, notes, letters, etc.

In his introduction to the new 1976 edition of the novel, Lawson Fusao Inada writes of meeting Okada's wife, Dorothy, in La Grande, Oregon 1976: Dorothy is a truly wonderful person. It hurt to have her tell us that "John would have liked you." It hurt to have her tell us that "you two are the first ones who ever came to see him about his work." It hurt to have her tell us that she recently burned his "other novel about the Issei, which we both researched and which was almost finished." It hurt to have her tell us that "the people I tried to contact about it never answered so when I moved I burned it, because I have him in my heart." [...] You could say John was "ahead of his time," that he was born too early and died too young. In 2018, Frank Abe, Greg Robinson, and Floyd Cheung published John Okada: The Life and Rediscovered Writings of the Author of No-No Boy. This volume, which received an American Book Award in 2019, includes a substantial biography authored by Abe and based on interviews with Okada's family members and friends. The rediscovered works include a poem that Okada wrote during the night of the attack on Pearl Harbor entitled "I Must Be Strong," a play about the US occupation of Japan which was produced at the Tryout Theater in 1946, five short stories which were published in the Northwest Times in 1947, and two satirical essays about the military-industrial complex written during his stint as a technical writer at Hughes Aircraft Company between 1958 and 1961.

Legacy and honors
The Asian-American ethnic-theme dorm at Stanford University is named Okada in John Okada's honor.

Guarani, Minas Gerais

Guarani is a municipality located in the Zona da Mata within the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The population is 8,918 (2020 est.) in an area of 264 km2. The average elevation is 440m above the sea level within the urban limits, reaching up to 1,434m in the mountainous area located in the outskirts. The town was named after the biggest native tribe which dwelt in Brazil before the Colonial Period, the Guaranis.

Guarani's most iconic landscape is the Catholic Parish of the Divine Holy Ghost located in one of the highest points of the town. Surrounded by a small green garden and Marechal Deodoro da Fonseca Square and gathered with astonishing paintings as well as sculptures representing New Testament's passages the church is an attractive building which reminds the baroque churches of older cities, spread throughout Minas Gerais state, settled in the seventeenth century. However, the area of Guarani was only settled in the 1830s, and it became a municipality on March 25, 1914, by separation from Pomba.

Talk:List of stewards of the Manor of Northstead

1958 to 1970
As with the List of Stewards of the Chiltern Hundreds I can't absolutely vouch for the dates between 1958 and 1970. The date of Geoffrey de Freitas' appointment is especially uncertain, and the dates for Edward Wakefield, Aubrey Jones and Sir Oliver Crosthwaite-Eyre may be a few days out. Dbiv 21:44, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Charles Waterhouse definitely resigned on 29th October 1957. Polling day in the byelection caused by his resignation was 28th November. Frank Cousins definitely resigned in December 1966, as the byelection was on 9th March 1967. Source for 1944-1958 is PRO T 221/468. Dbiv 12:36, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Yes...those are the corrections I made. So why did you revert to 29th November 1957 and December 1967? Gzornenplatz 16:08, Oct 3, 2004 (UTC)

Full names
It makes more sense to have people listed under the names they were known by, rather than their full names.

 * Everyone else is linked under their full names; it's inconsistent to reduce anyone with a link to their common name only. If people click on the link, they'll work out who it is. Dbiv 23:24, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * But the tradition in lists of incumbents/appointees on Wikipedia is to use the names people are known by. The only exceptions are people with peerages, in which case the peerages are listed in addition to the common name but again, usually, the full names are not given. It serves no purpose to include people's full names - it's counter-intuitive and annoying. What's more, almost all of these links actually are to the common names, you are just labelling the link with their full names, making for exceptionally ugly wikitext. And I don't think it's much use as a list if people have to go through any kind of process to work out who someone is. There's just no reason for it.

Malcolm St Clair
There looks to be a pretty well documented page at http://www.alba.org.uk/timeline/1945to1967.html which gives St Clair's date of accession to the office as 2nd August 1963, as opposed to 1st August as given in the article.

It's Aliiive!
I've spent the last two weeks working on a sandboxed version of the article. As such the list is now complete, every MP has his or her own page rather than a collection of redlinks and i've added a fancy-dan intro para :). Hope y'all enjoy. Ironholds 19:48, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Update needed
This list is largely based on Appointments to the Chiltern Hundreds and Manor of Northstead Stewardships since 1850, published by the House of Commons Department of Information Services.

A revised version of that list was published in January 2010, which contains a significant number of new entries, and apparently some revision. For example, I have just added Henry Butler-Johnstone, who is in the current Commons list as having resigned on 27 January 1862, but he was not in this list.

The entry after him is William Johnson Fox, listed here as having resigned on 27 January 1862, but in the Department of Information Services list as resigning 20 April 1862.

I suggested that this list be fully checked against the new version of the Department of Information Services list. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:13, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I've checked names, dates, parties, etc. through about 1870 and then just names, as things appear to be largely in order. The Dept. of Info. Svcs. list accidentally changed Sir Robert Price's year from 1875 to 1975. Other than your example above, the only problems I found with our list were:
 * Missing Charles Compton Cavendish, who resigned in December 1857 before being created Baron Chesham.
 * 2 dates corrected in 1862.
 * I think we're OK, unless someone really wants to do a date-by-date verification; I spot-checked dates through to the early 1910s and didn't see any further problems. Choess (talk) 00:54, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Gerry Adams
There have been many press reports that Gerry Adams has resigned but it is clear that he has not yet been appointed. Note that the press reports do not state in terms that he has been appointed Steward of the Manor of Northstead, merely that he has resigned. Given that the reports first appeared in Irish news sources, the most likely explanation is that Sinn Féin issued a press release confirming that Adams has sent a signed letter requesting appointment to the Manor of Northstead. When an appointment is made, the Treasury will issue a press release here. Until then, no entry should appear in the list. Sam Blacketer (talk) 21:09, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Further to that is the interesting comment in Mark Devenport's blog that Adams has written to the Speaker to resign. If he has done so, no action will be taken on it. He needs to write to the Chancellor of the Exchequer asking to be appointed to the Manor of Northstead. Sam Blacketer (talk) 10:58, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
 * (Copied from Talk: Manor of Northstead in response to User:Exiledone)
 * Please, read the article carefully. It says that Adams did not accept the appointment. It does not say that he wasn't appointed. He has been appointed, that is an undeniable fact, but he has chosen to "not accept" it. It makes no difference; he does not have to accept it. He has the ability by law to refuse to accept it, but he has not exercised this power. Please do not revert again without discussing. ninety:one  20:00, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Firstly he wrote to the office of the Speaker. If one is to seek an office for profit of the crown he/she must write to the Chancellor. In addition under section 8 of the House of Commons Disqualification Act 1975 the individual must accept the position which he quite clearly hasn't. Downing street has been forced to apologize for Cameron's comments http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-12292896 Exiledone (talk) 20:16, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * The member does not have to write to the Chancellor in order to be appointed to the office, and as a Treasury spokesman clarified, they acted on his letter to the Speaker. There may be something in the argument that if he fails to accept the office he will remain in the seat, but it is a fact that he has been appointed, and I'm glad to see that the entry has now stayed. ninety:one  21:07, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * This merits further discussion. Thats why I choose not to start an edit war which I could've easily done. Firstly he has to accept the office which I doubt he will. Ergo he shouldn't be mentioned. Cameron was forced to apologize to him. Regarding the Chancellor, the Chancellor is usually the first person informed not the sepaker.

Exiledone (talk) 21:44, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * There is no evidence that Cameron apologised, nor that his secretary was "forced" to apologise either. Adams said the secretary apologised, but neither the prime minister nor his secretary have issued a public apology. — O'Dea  22:35, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry its an official apology it still stands.

Exiledone (talk) 23:09, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Perhaps a note of explanation could be placed beside Gerry Adams's name on the list, pointing out that he did not apply for or accept any such position. Would this be an acceptable compromise? I seems a bit ludicrous to have his name there without any other information. 89.126.56.62 (talk) 17:17, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Alistair Goodlad
Does anyone know why Goodlad is on this list? The London Gazette records him as being Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds (and he's on the wikipedia list for the Chiltern Hundreds). Is it true that he held both offices at the same time? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frinton100 (talk • contribs) 12:40, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

 * I've been waiting for the primary source on this (gazette notice of appointment to manor of northstead) rather than an article, but will use votes and proceedings of the writ motion when this is published this evening if that appears first. 1234567jack (talk) 14:26, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
