Talk:Yu Shan

How High Is Yu Shan in Taiwan?
Posted on WP:RD: My Webster's Geographical Dictionary gives Yu Shan's height at 13,113 feet (3,997 meters) when the article Jade Mountain says it is 12,962 feet (3,952 meters). Anyone clarify? PedanticallySpeaking 18:53, Oct 23, 2004 (UTC) Two replies posted there:
 * Britannica (2002) says 13,113 feet also. Incidentally, they spell it with an umlaut over the u. - John Fader
 * Although both the Chinese and Japanese wikipedias say 3952m. Maybe one number is a result of a re-survey? - John Fader

Posted on WP:RD:
 * I went through my books and found many disagreeing answers. The following sources had these listed for its height:
 * Columbia Encyclopedia, 1st ed. (1940), "over 14,000 feet" in the article "Niitakayama"
 * Colubmia Encyclopedia, 1st ed. (1940), "about 14,000 feet" in the article "Mount Morrison"
 * Brittanica (1941): 12,939 feet in the atlas
 * Brittanica (1941): 14,720 feet in the article "Formosa" (v. 9, p. 514)
 * Webster's New Int'l Dict., 2d ed. (1957): 13,599 feet
 * New Catholic Encyclopedia: 13,599 feet (v. 13, p. 916)
 * Brittanica (1974): 3997 meters
 * Hammond World Atlas (1989): 3997 meters/13,113 feet
 * Times Atlas, 8th ed. (1990): 3997 meters
 * National Geographic Atlas, 7th ed. (1990): 3997 meters
 * Columbia Encyclopedia, 5th ed. (1993): 3997 meters/13,113 feet
 * Whitaker's Almanac (1996): 13,035 feet

Finally, the official Central Geological Survey of Taiwan's site (here) says 3952 meters, which is what the original article says and the Taiwanese should know. But isn't remarkable the range of these answers, varying by 1,700 feet? PedanticallySpeaking 14:34, Oct 26, 2004 (UTC)

 * I remember reading in a Taiwanese newspaper a decade ago that the Jade Mt is getting shorten because its peak is melting/crumbling, or something.......I cannot remember why or any details at all. --Menchi 00:49, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * The Columbia Encylc has separate articles on Mt Morrison and Niitakayama? Aren't they the same thing? --Menchi 00:51, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Climb Every Mountain
Posted on User talk:Menchi: Salve, Menchi! I saw your comment on the height of Jade Mountain re the Columbia Encyclopedia. "Niitakayama" and "Mount Morrison]] are the same thing as Yu Shan and the book does indeed have articles at both names for the mountain rather than a cross-reference. Another example of how you need to look every place information could be and not assume the editors and indexers know what they're doing.  Ave!  PedanticallySpeaking 15:29, Oct 30, 2004 (UTC)

山: 'Yama' or 'San'?
"Japanese called the mountain Niitakayama (新高山)" I was under the impression, after reading the page on Mt Fuji, that the appellation 'yama' was an old incorrect translation that refuses to die. Edit? Mang 10:05, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * This is the case for "Fujiyama" (should be "Fujisan"), but not necessarily for all other mountains. Bubbha 17:36, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I think the history of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor is significant evidence that "Niitakayama" was correct. The Japanese would hardly have used the wrong name for what was (at the time) their highest mountain. Jsc1973 (talk) 20:01, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Name of article
I'm wondering why this article is named "Jade Mountain", when AFAIK that name (i.e. the translation of Yu Shan into English) is not used by English-language sources. I have always seen it as "Yu Shan" or "Yü Shan". So unless there is some good reason for having it under "Jade Mountain", I would propose a move. -- Spireguy 19:44, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

 * yeah go ahead and use the more common term . Blueshirts 18:12, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

 * I moved the page, to "Yu Shan." Let me know if anyone thinks it should be "Yü Shan" or "Yu Shan (Taiwan)" or something else. -- Spireguy 21:20, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

 * On the chinese wiki it says Yu Shan is part of the Yu Shan mountain range, not Central mountain range. Blueshirts 06:19, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Can someone comment on whether it has to be "Yushan" or "Yu Shan"? According to http://pinyin.info/news/2008/hanyu-pinyin-and-proper-nouns/ -> PDF -> section 2.2 it should be written separately. So why is the page title in one word? --JensMueller (talk) 18:34, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

 * It should be Yu Shan because it is two separate words, but I object to some of the wording in the intro to this article. It is sloppy and very opinionated.  I will propose a rewrite in a few days and post it here for feedback.  ludahai 魯大海 (talk) 10:15, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

 * It should be Yushan because it is a single name (as Huangshan, Donghai, or the first page of your source) and it's become standard to only break off the parts of names if they get longer than two or three characters (Taiping Yang, Shanghai Shi, Zhonghua Renmin Gongheguo) or are so famous that the parts make sense to English speakers as separate words (Chang Jiang, Qin Shi Huang).

 * Your source looks like it's just some people opining. For example, afaik, the absolutely proper form of official pinyin should be "Yu shan" ("Shanghai shi", "Zhonghua renmin gongheguo", &c.) because the people making the rules preferred French to English style capitalization; almost no English-language sources use pinyin that way. Your source would make it "Yu Shan", but on what authority? If it is an official government source for proper, official, and newly revised pinyin (which Pinyin's article doesn't support), you can take it over to WP:MOS-ZH and talk them into making it formal Wikipedia style policy. Minor points like this, Wikipedia can drive change in other people's understanding and use. — Llywelyn II   07:33, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

Historical Names and Heights
Suggesting to add statements before "Under the Qing Dynasty...":

Yu Shan (Patungkuonʉ in Tsou, and Usavi, Usaviah, or Tongku Saveq in Bunun, meaning "jade mountain" or "the highest mountain" in the languages).

The earliest known written description of the mountain as 'Yu Shan' (Hanzi: "", meaning "jade mountain") was in Taiwanfoo Chorography (Jiang edition) (zh:台灣府志 [ 蔣志 ]) in 1685 and Diary of Searching Sulfur (zh:%E8%A3%A8%E6%B5%B7%E7%B4%80%E9%81%8A) in 1697.

In the article section "Names" the statement "It was previously known in English as Mount Morrison,[3] a name sometimes mistakenly thought to honor the missionary Robert Morrison, but actually simply the name of an American captain who sighted it..." In section "History" the statement "Under the Qing Dynasty, W. Morrison, captain of the American steam freighter Alexander, sighted the mountain while departing from Anping Harbor (present-day Anping, Tainan) in 1857. His log was the first western mention of the mountain, which took his name in European accounts."

During the later half of 19th century, in his book of the expedition to Formosa in 1873-1874, Prof Joseph Beal Steere stated that the Westerners named the highest mountain in Formosa "Mount Morrison" to honor the well-known missionary Rev Robert Morrison. In his well-known books about Taiwan "Formosa under the Dutch" published in 1903, and "Sketches from Formosa" published in 1915, Rev Dr William Campbell stated that stating Mount Morrison was not named after the well-known pioneer missionary of that name was a mistake.

The word "mistakenly" in the article is suggested to be removed. It was recorded in Taiwan Christianity Church Journal (Presbyterian Church) that the name Mt Morrison was to honor Rev Robert Morrison by British Royal Navy Admiral Sir Richard Collinson in 1844.

Other source stated that it was named after himself by Alexander Morrison, the agent in Kaohsiung and Taiwan Prefecture branch of Jardine, Matheson & Co in 1859-1864.

Any stories later than 1845 contradict to known physical evidences. Early 19th century stories of western skippers of vessels trading to Formosa, where was not yet opened for trading, were very unlikely, until the time of the first foreign traders to Formosa with an under-table exclusive personal deal between some American merchants and Taiwan Circuit (zh:台灣道) Intendant (Tao-tai or Dao-tai, Hanzi: zh:道台) Yu Duo (zh:裕鐸) on June 27 1855, and Treaty of Tientsin in 1858. Yu Shan had already been labeled as "Mt Morrison" on variety of charts derived from surveys before 1855. For examples, chart of "Formosa Island" published by British Royal Navy in 1845, which was based on British Royal Naval hydrographic surveys by Admiral Sir Richard Collinson in 1841-1845 (the first modern survey of Taiwan east coast) ; "Chart of the Coast of China" derived from the same surveys commercial printed in 1855; "The Island of Formosa" map of Taiwan was based on a draft made by Commodore Matthew C. Perry of the U.S. Navy in 1854, which was based on the previous Sir Collinson's surveys, attached in the book of the records of the expedition to Japan "Narrative of the Expedition of an American Squadron to the China Seas and Japan" p572-573.

"It was previously..." can be mistakenly thought to be "earlier than Qing dynasty" in this statement. It is suggested to be replaced by "during the later half of 19th century".

Yu Shan is the sacred mountain of Tsou and Bunun people. In the peoples sagas, on the summit the origin of the peoples took place, and the last refuge where the last fire tinder was preserved for the peoples escaped from the great flood.

In Tsou and Bunun saga, before the days Yu Shan being the hunting fields of Tsou and Bunun, there were Salutsu people (a mythical little black people, maybe related to Negrito) occupied in north of Yu Shan. In prehistorical times, Yu Shan was exclusive hunting fields of Tsou and Bunun peoples. Access was very unlikely for outsiders to the lands of head-hunting peoples.

In Qing era, in the aftermath of Japanese invasion of Taiwan (1874), the Taiwan aborigine policy was changed to "opening mountains and colonizing savages" (zh-TW:開山撫番) in which 3 Trans-Taiwan trails were constructed: the north, middle, and south trails. The middle trail, today referred as Patungkuan Ancient Trail, started from the west end Zhushan,_Nantou, bypassing Patungkuan, east of Yu Shan area, crossing over 3000 meters high divide ridge of Taiwan, to the east end Yuli, Hualien was completed in 1875. Thanks to the trail, access to Yu Shan area for outsiders was then not improbable.

In "History" section the statement "Under the Japanese, the anthropologists Torii Ryūzō and Ushinosuke Mori became the first people recorded to summit the mountain in 1900. In 1900, during Japanese rule, two Japanese anthropologists, became the first people to have been recorded ascending the mountain. They gave it the name 'Mount Niitaka'" The "who" and "when" of naming as "Niitakayama" are incorrect in the statement.

Earlier than the said "first summit" in 1900, the name of Yu Shan had already been changed to "Niitakayama" (Kanji: "", meaning "new high mountain") by the imperial decree of Japanese Emperor Meiji on Jun 28, 1897, after the elevation of Yu Shan was confirmed higher than that of Fujiyama by Imperial Japanese Army General Staff Office Land Survey Department (ja:陸地測量部) in Jul 1895-Sep 1896.

The first (non-aborigine) people recorded to ("civilized") summit the mountain were Imperial Japanese Army General Staff Office lieutenant Nagano Yoshitora and 2 aborigine guides during the land survey in Jul 1895-Sep 1896 on Sep 28 1896. Nagano's summit was not recognized among Japanese mountaineer communities at that time due to his expedition report to summit being suspicious.

2 months later, Saito Otosaku, the director of Zhushan,_Nantou Colonial Reclamation Agency (zh-TW:撫墾署), and 2 Dongpu tribe Vonum guides reported to summit on Nov 21 1896.

However, 2 years later, German explorer Dr Karl Theodor Stöpel reported that in the way to summit, he found Saito's Japanese flag and pole under a rock on the east summit (much more technical difficult than the main summit) but not on the main summit. Dr Karl Theodor Stöpel and 2 Tumpu tribe Vonum guides Husung and Biung (the same guides of Saito's summit) are generally recognized to be the first (non-aborigine) people recorded to summit on Dec 26 1898.

Edward Manners, 3rd Earl of Rutland

Edward Manners, 3rd Earl of Rutland, 14th Baron de Ros of Helmsley, KG (12 July 1549 – 14 April 1587) was the son of Henry Manners, 2nd Earl of Rutland, whose titles he inherited in 1563.

Life
He was the eldest son of Henry Manners, 2nd Earl of Rutland, and Margaret, fourth daughter of Ralph Neville, 4th Earl of Westmorland. He seems to have been educated at Oxford, though he did not graduate there as a student. He bore the title of Lord Roos or Ros, the old title of his family, until 1563, when by the death of his father he became third Earl of Rutland.

He was made one of the queen's wards, and was specially under the charge of Sir William Cecil, who was connected with him by marriage. He accompanied the queen on her visit to Cambridge in 1564, and was lodged in St. John's College, and created M.A. on 10 August. In October 1566, he was made M.A. of Oxford. In 1569, he joined the Earl of Sussex, taking his tenants with him, and held a command in the army which suppressed the northern insurrection. In 1570, he passed into France, Cecil drawing up a paper of instructions for his guidance. He was in Paris in February of the next year. At home, he received many offices, and displayed enthusiastic devotion to the queen. On 5 August 1570, he became constable of Nottingham Castle, and steward, keeper, warden, and chief justice of Sherwood Forest; in 1571 he was feodary of the duchy of Lancaster for the counties of Nottingham and Derby; in 1574 he was appointed lord-lieutenant of Nottinghamshire. On 17 June 1577, Rutland was placed on the ecclesiastical commission for the province of York, and in 1579 on the council of the north. In the grand tilting match of 1580, Rutland and twelve others contended with a similar number, headed by Essex, before the queen at Westminster. His public offices probably now absorbed all his time, as in 1581 a relative, John Manners, seems to have been managing his estate. On 23 April 1584, he became K.G., and on 14 June 1585 lord-lieutenant of Lincolnshire. His style of living was very expensive; when he went with his countess to London in about 1586 he had with him forty-one servants, including a chaplain, trumpeter, gardener, and apothecary. He bought a brooch with an agate stone engraved with a portrait of Elizabeth I and set around with 53 diamonds from Peter Vanlore.

In June 1586, with Lord Eure and Randolph, he arranged a treaty of peace with the Scots at Berwick, and his brother Roger wrote that his conduct had been approved by the court. On 6 October, he was one of the commissioners to try Mary Queen of Scots. The queen promised to make him lord chancellor after the death of Sir Thomas Bromley, which took place on 12 April 1587, and he was for a day or two so styled. He died, however, on 14 April 1587, at his house at Ivy Bridge in the Strand.

Marriage and progeny
On 6 June 1573 he married Isabel Holcroft, a daughter of Thomas Holcroft (1505-1558), a Member of Parliament and commissioner at the Dissolution of the Monasteries, who built a mansion house at Vale Royal on the site of the former Cistercian abbey. By his wife he had one child and sole heiress:
 * Elizabeth Manners, 15th Baroness de Ros (1575-1591), who inherited the Barony of Ros, an ancient barony created by writ. The other titles created by letters patent were able to pass to a male heir only. Most of the estates were in tail male and similarly descended to the heir male.

Death and burial
He died on Good Friday at Puddle Wharf in the City of London, and was brought home for burial in Bottesford Church, Leicestershire, where his monument survives. The Earldom of Rutland and Barony of Manners went to his brother John Manners, 4th Earl of Rutland, but the Barony of de Ros was able to pass to his daughter.

Legacy
At Bottesford Church in Leicestershire there is the tomb commemorating the third Earl and his wife. It was created by Gerard Johnson the elder of Southwark, a Flemish craftsman. Earl Edward lies on a mat, wearing full plate armour. Instead of a gorget protecting his throat he wears a ruff. He wears the Order of the Garter on his left leg. His coronet has disappeared and at his feet is a decorated bull crest. Countess Isabel, daughter of Sir Thomas Holcroft, KT, wears a ruff with the usual dress of the time under an ermine-trimmed mantle, her head supported by a cushion. Her only daughter, Elizabeth, kneels at her feet. The inscription on the tomb lists the Earl's activities in the Scottish "troubles" of the time.

In 1985, he returned 28 kicks for 918 yards for three touchdowns (his touchdowns and 32.8 yards per return were league highs). This resulted in Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors. Only his 1989 year would exceed that season, with him returning 47 (a league high) for 968 yards. In his eight seasons, he recorded 1,000 all-purpose yards (receiving + returns) four times (1985–87, 1989) before his career ended in 1990 at the age of 30.

47th (Lancashire) Regiment of Foot

The 47th (Lancashire) Regiment of Foot was an infantry regiment of the British Army, raised in Scotland in 1741. It served in North America during the Seven Years' War and American Revolutionary War and also fought during the Napoleonic Wars and the Crimean War. Under the Childers Reforms it amalgamated with the 81st Regiment of Foot (Loyal Lincoln Volunteers) to form the Loyal Regiment (North Lancashire) in 1881.

Formation and early service
The regiment was raised in Scotland by Colonel Sir John Mordaunt as Sir John Mordaunt's Regiment of Foot in 1741. In 1743, Peregrine Lascelles was appointed Colonel and until May 1745, the regiment was employed building a military road near Loch Lomond, part of a new route from Dumbarton to Inverary.

In July, Charles Stuart landed in Scotland to launch the 1745 Rising and two companies of Lascelles garrisoned Edinburgh Castle. The remaining eight companies fought at the Battle of Prestonpans in September, when the government army was swept aside in less than 20 minutes; most of the regiment was taken prisoner, except for Lascelles who fought his way out.

Lascelles, together with Sir John Cope, commander at Prestonpans, and his deputy Thomas Fowke, were tried by a court-martial in 1746; all three were exonerated, but Cope never held a senior command again.

As part of the reforms enacted by the Duke of Cumberland, the regiment was designated the 58th Regiment of Foot in 1747, before being re-numbered 47th Regiment of Foot in 1751.

North America 1750–1794

The 1748 Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle awarded Britain sovereignty over the whole of Nova Scotia, including parts previously claimed by France. Between 1748 and 1755, conflict between British and French settlers resulted in a series of clashes known as Father Le Loutre's War; the regiment was posted there in 1750, taking part in the siege of Grand Pré, Battle at Chignecto and Battle of Fort Beauséjour.

During the Seven Years' War, it was part of the force under James Wolfe that captured Louisbourg in 1758, allegedly earning the nickname "Wolfe's Own". It was also present at the 1759 Battle of the Plains of Abraham, the Battle of Sainte-Foy and the subsequent siege of Quebec in April to May 1760. It then took part in the final and decisive campaign between July and September 1760 when Montreal fell. The regiment returned to Britain when the war ended in 1763.

On the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War in 1773, the 47th was posted to New Jersey. It took part in the Battles of Lexington and Concord in April 1775 and the Battle of Bunker Hill in June 1775 and the Battles of Saratoga in September 1777. The main body of the regiment was interned as part of the Convention Army and did not return home for another six years. In 1782 the regiment was given a county distinction when it was given the title the 47th (The Lancashire) Regiment of Foot. In 1791 the regiment was sent to the West Indies where it was garrisoned during much of the French Revolutionary Wars. In 1794 a second battalion was raised in Norfolk but disbanded soon afterwards.

Napoleonic Wars

In 1803, a second battalion was reformed and the following year deployed to Ireland. In 1806, the 1st battalion was sent to garrison the former Dutch settlement of the Cape of Good Hope, then joined the 1807 River Plate expedition under Sir Samuel Auchmuty, fighting at Montevideo in February and Buenos Aires in July. The battalion was deployed to India in 1808 and the following year its flank companies took part in an expedition to the Persian Gulf.

Meanwhile, the 2nd battalion was deployed to Gibraltar in 1809 and to Portugal in 1811 for service in the Peninsular War. The battalion took part in the Battle of Barrosa in March 1811 and the successful siege of Tarifa in December 1811. The battalion was victorious at the Battle of Vitoria in June 1813 and took part in the successful but bloody siege of San Sebastián in August 1813. At San Sebastián the battalion lost 17 of its 22 officers and almost half the other ranks. The battalion then crossed the River Bidasoa and pursued the French Army into France fighting at the Battle of the Nive in December 1813 and taking part in the Battle of Bayonne in April 1814 before returning home and being disbanded at Portsmouth.

The Victorian era
In 1817 the regiment was deployed to India and took part in the Third Anglo-Maratha War helping to defeat the Pindaris. It returned to the Persion Gulf in December 1819 to combat piracy off the shores of Ras al-Khaimah and was sent to Burma in 1824 for service in the First Anglo-Burmese War: it formed part of an army which advanced up the River Irrawaddy to the Kingdom of Ava before returning to India in 1826 and embarking for England in 1829.

The regiment was posted to the Ionian Islands in 1850 and to Malta in 1853 before landing at Calamity Bay in September 1854, as part of the 2nd Division, for service in the Crimean War. The regiment took part in the Battle of Alma in September 1854 and the Battle of Inkerman in November 1854 as well as the siege of Sevastopol in winter 1854. The regiment returned to Malta in 1856 and to England in 1857.

The regiment returned to Nova Scotia in 1861 to reinforce Canada's defences during tension with the United States arising from the Trent Affair. It then helped defend Canada against Irish-American ex-soldiers during the Fenian raids in 1866. The regiment then went to Barbados in 1868 before landing in Ireland in 1870.

As part of the Cardwell Reforms of the 1870s, where single-battalion regiments were linked together to share a single depot and recruiting district in the United Kingdom, the 47th was linked with the 81st Regiment of Foot (Loyal Lincoln Volunteers), and assigned to district no. 12 at Fulwood Barracks in Lancashire. On 1 July 1881 the Childers Reforms came into effect and the regiment amalgamated with the 81st Regiment of Foot (Loyal Lincoln Volunteers) to form the Loyal Regiment (North Lancashire).

Battle honours
Battle honours won by the regiment were:

 * Seven Years War: Louisbourg, Quebec 1759 (awarded to successor regiment, 1882)
 * Peninsular War: Tarifa, Vittoria, San Sebastian, Nive, Peninsula (all awarded to successor regiment, 1910)
 * Burmese Wars: Ava
 * Crimean War: Alma, Inkerman, Sevastopol

Victoria Cross
After the inception of the Victoria Cross (VC) in 1856 Private John McDermond was awarded the only VC of the regiment for his actions in saving a wounded Colonel during the Battle of Inkerman.

Sherman W. Tribbitt

Sherman Willard Tribbitt (November 9, 1922 – August 14, 2010) was an American merchant and politician from Odessa in New Castle County, Delaware. He was a World War II veteran and a member of the Democratic Party who served in the Delaware General Assembly, as the 17th lieutenant governor of Delaware, and as the 67th governor of Delaware.

Early life and family
Tribbitt was born in Denton, Maryland, the son of Sherman L. and Minnie Thawley Tribbitt. He married Jeanne Webb in 1943. They had three children, James, Carol, and Sherman "Tip", and were members of the Presbyterian Church. He studied accounting at Beacom College in Wilmington, Delaware and briefly worked at the Security Trust Company in Wilmington. During World War II he served in the United States Navy. In early 1945 he was aboard the destroyer USS Frost in the North Atlantic when his unit received a Presidential Citation for sinking five U-boats.

Professional and political career
Following World War II, he and his father-in-law operated the Odessa Supply Company in Odessa, Delaware, where they lived.

In 1956, Tribbitt was elected to the first of four terms in the Delaware House of Representatives, where he served from 1957 to 1964. He was Speaker from 1959 to 1964. Tribbitt prevailed in a difficult convention contest for the nomination and was elected lieutenant governor of Delaware in 1964, defeating William T. Best, a State Representative from Rehoboth Beach. He served from January 19, 1965, to January 21, 1969. Surprised to find Governor Charles L. Terry Jr. wanted to serve two terms, Tribbitt had no choice but to run for a second term himself. Like Terry, he was narrowly defeated in the 1968 Republican landslide by Eugene Bookhammer, a State Senator from Lewes.

Governor of Delaware
Patiently planning a political recovery, Tribbitt was elected again to the Delaware House of Representatives in 1970 and was immediately elected minority leader for the 1971–72 session. When Governor Russell W. Peterson stumbled over the state's finances, Tribbitt had another opportunity for the governorship and was elected governor in 1972, defeating Peterson. (51%-48%)

Tribbitt nearly made an appointment to the U.S. Senate. Future president Joe Biden was elected to the Senate in The same year Tribbitt was elected. On December 18, 1972, Biden's wife and daughter died in a car crash which injured Biden's sons. Biden contemplating on resigning his Senate seat, but decided to stay in the Senate up until his election as vice president 36 years later.

Tribbitt inherited the same state financial picture that forced his predecessor from office. In this time of high inflation there was constant pressure to raise salaries, particularly for teachers. Delaware's income tax rates were already among the highest in the nation and the solution was not obvious. There was an effort to levy a large tax on the one oil refinery in the state, but that was derailed when the owner, J. Paul Getty, threatened to close it. The union workers there opposed the legislation out of fear for their jobs. But the most serious financial crises involved the near-collapse of the Farmers' Bank of Delaware. It was the state's official bank, where all its funds were kept, and where many private investors had their life savings. The whole last year of Tribbitt's administration was spent trying to rectify the situation. Eventually the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) agreed to make a large investment in the bank and buy many of its loans, but the state had to invest many millions as well. In 1981, under the next administration, the bank was sold.

Tribbitt took other steps to raise revenue, including beginning the Delaware Lottery. He also created the Department of Community Affairs and Economic Development to attract new industry to the state. Tribbitt sought a second term in 1976, but, largely because of the unresolved financial situation, Lost Re-Election In An Electoral Landslide To U.S. Representative Pete du Pont. (57%-42%)

Later career
Tribbitt made another bid for governor in 1984, losing the Democratic primary to former Delaware Supreme Court justice William T. Quillen. In an unusual campaign tactic, Tribbitt refused to debate his courtroom-trained opponent, saying that he would lose the debate. After leaving office he worked with the Delaware River Basin Commission and the Diamond Group consulting firm. He relocated to Dover and finally to Rehoboth Beach.

Death
Sherman Tribbitt died on August 14, 2010, at the age of 87, a week after a severe fall. He had suffered from Alzheimer's disease. Jack Markell, Governor of Delaware at the time, ordered state flags lowered to half staff in Tribbitt's honor.

Almanac
Elections are held the first Tuesday after November 1. Members of the Delaware General Assembly take office the second Tuesday of January. State Representatives have a two-year term. The Governor and Lieutenant Governor take office the third Tuesday of January and each has a four-year term.

Juan José Flores

Juan José Flores y Aramburu (19 July 1800 – 1 October 1864) was a Venezuelan-born military general who became the first (in 1830), third (in 1839) and fourth (in 1843) President of the new Republic of Ecuador. He is often referred to as "The Founder of the Republic".

Character
Juan José Flores' contemporaries described his physical appearance as a proud man in military uniform, slender and short but well proportioned, with a handsome countenance that radiates quick intelligence and a commanding presence. Juan José Flores appeared to be self-taught, and despite his scant rudimentary education, he became an eloquent orator and an avid reader of contemporary authors such as Rousseau, Montesquieu, Holbach, and Vattel. Juan José Flores was so fascinated with reading that in 1826 he asked for and received a shipment of books from General Santander, then vice-president of the Gran Colombia. Later in life, the professors of the University of Quito recognized Juan Jose Flores' efforts and bestowed an honorary doctorate on Flores in 1842.

Early life
Juan José Flores Aramburu was born on 19 July 1800, in the city of Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, the illegitimate and only son of Juan José Aramburu, a rich and distinguished Spanish merchant from Spain, and to a Venezuelan, Rita Flores Bohorques. Eventually his father returned to Europe, abandoning his only son Juan José Flores and his mother to a life of extreme poverty. Because up to age 14 Juan José Flores received scant formal education, his impoverished mother placed him to learn and work in a Spanish military school and hospital. Since the poor yet sagacious Juan José Flores did not know what to do with his life at age 15, he enlisted as a private in the Spanish Royalist army of Spanish General Pablo Morillo, whose job it was to fight and destroy the patriot armies that were fighting for Spanish American independence in South America. During a short period of time Juan José Flores distinguished himself in the Spanish military for his loyalty, discipline, courage, heroism, and sagacity. However, as a sergeant, he was taken prisoner on 31 October 1817, and at this point he was convinced that freeing his homeland from Spain's domination was a just cause and joined the patriot army of Simón Bolívar. In the Patriot army he became loyal and acquainted with Simon Bolivar, who at an early stage recognized Juan José Flores' outstanding heroism and military talents especially at the victory at the Battle of Carabobo (1821), that at age 23 he was promoted to Colonel and then to Commandant General of the recently freed Royalist city of Pasto.

Political life
On 13 May 1830, the day of Ecuador's breaking away from Gran Colombia, Flores was named supreme chief of the new country, and then on 14 August 1830, he was named provisional president. His official term, however, did not start until 22 September 1830, 11 days after he was elected constitutional president by the assembly in Riobamba. That term lasted until 10 September 1834, and was marked with much turmoil. Flores faced a rebellion led by Luis Urdaneta, a loyalist of Simón Bolívar, who wanted to prevent Ecuador from leaving Gran Colombia. Flores also faced a threat from a member of the Ecuadorian congress, Vicente Rocafuerte, who attempted to overthrow him. Eventually, the two made an agreement – Rocafuerte would become president after Flores, and Flores would become leader of the military. Also during his term, he fought an invading Colombian army in 1832 and again starting in 1834, finally defeating them on 18 January 1835 in Miñarica, near Ambato. He was President of the Senate in 1837.

Flores' second term began on 1 February 1839, and ended 15 January 1843. The beginning of his term was marked by peace and social development—he kept his word to rule justly and to defend freedom. However, in the last year of his term, he intervened militarily in the politics of Nueva Granada at the request of the Colombian government, fighting his old enemy, José María Obando. When later forced to intervene again, he was attacked by the Colombian army and his popularity at home fell. Then, after irregularities in the elections of 1842, he pushed to have the 1835 constitution annulled, and the new constitution, nicknamed the "Carta de la esclavitud" ("charter of slavery") allowed him to continue in power for a third term, which began 1 April 1843. During this term, Flores fought to remain in power, but was ultimately overthrown on 6 March 1845 by a rebellion led by Rocafuerte and Vicente Ramón Roca, the man who became the next president of Ecuador.

Death
Flores died of uremia in 1864 while in campaign supporting the presidency of Gabriel García Moreno.

Legacy
Floreana Island in the Galapagos Archipelago is named for Flores.

Good Housekeeping

Good Housekeeping is an American and British lifestyle media brand that covers a wide range of topics from home decor and renovation, health, beauty and food, to entertainment, pets and gifts. The Good Housekeeping Institute which opened its "Experiment Station" in 1900, specializes in product reviews by a staff of scientific experts. The GH Institute is known, in part, for the "Good Housekeeping Seal", a limited warranty program that evaluates products to ensure they perform as intended.

Good Housekeeping was founded in 1885 by American publisher and poet Clark W. Bryan. By the time of its acquisition by the Hearst Corporation in 1911, the magazine had grown to a circulation of 300,000 subscribers. By the early 1960s, it had over five million subscribers and was one of the world's most popular lifestyle magazines.

History and profile
On May 2, 1885, Clark W. Bryan founded Good Housekeeping in Holyoke, Massachusetts, as a fortnightly magazine. The magazine became a monthly publication in 1891.

The magazine achieved a circulation of 300,000 by 1911, at which time it was bought by the Hearst Corporation. It topped one million in the mid-1920s, and continued to rise, even during the Great Depression and its aftermath. In 1938, a year in which the magazine advertising dropped 22 percent, Good Housekeeping showed an operating profit of $2,583,202, more than three times the profit of Hearst's other eight magazines combined, and probably the most profitable monthly of its time. Circulation topped 2,500,000 in 1943, 3,500,000 in the mid-1950s, 5,000,000 in 1962, and 5,500,000 per month in 1966. 1959 profits were more than $11 million.

Good Housekeeping was one of the "Seven Sisters", a group of women's service magazines, and is one of the three of them still published in print.

In 1922, the Hearst Corporation created a British edition along the same lines, named British Good Housekeeping.

Famous writers who have contributed to the magazine include A. J. Cronin, Betty Friedan, Frances Parkinson Keyes, Clara Savage Littledale, Edwin Markham, Somerset Maugham,  Edna St. Vincent Millay,  J. D. Salinger, Evelyn Waugh, and Virginia Woolf. Other contributors include advice columnists, chefs, and politicians.

Good Housekeeping Institute
In 1900, the "Experiment Station", the predecessor to the Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI), now known as the Good Housekeeping Institute, was founded. In 1902, the magazine was calling this "An Inflexible Contract Between the Publisher and Each Subscriber". The formal opening of the headquarters of the GH Institute – the "Model Kitchen", "Testing Station for Household Devices", and "Domestic Science Laboratory" – occurred in January 1910.

In 1909, the magazine established the Good Housekeeping Seal. Products advertised in the magazine that bear the GH Seal are tested by GH Institute experts and are backed by a two-year limited warranty. About 5,000 products have been given the seal.

In April 1912, a year after Hearst bought the magazine, Harvey W. Wiley, the first commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (1907–1912), became head of the Good Housekeeping Research Institute and a contributing editor whose "Question Box" feature ran for decades. Beginning with a "Beauty Clinic" in 1932, departments were added to the Institute, including a "Baby's Center", "Foods and Cookery", and a "Needlework Room". Some functioned as testing laboratories, while others were designed to produce editorial copy.

In 1924, the British Good Housekeeping magazine set up its own Good Housekeeping Institute at 49 Wellington Street in Covent Garden, London. Its first director was Dorothy Cottington Taylor who ran the "a highly organised laboratory for testing and investigating every kind of household appliance, method, and recipe" for sixteen years.

After the passage of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act in 1938, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Rexford Tugwell sought to promote a government grading system. The Hearst Corporation opposed the policy in spirit, and began publishing a monthly tabloid attacking federal oversight. In 1939, the Federal Trade Commission filed a complaint against Good Housekeeping for "misleading and deceptive" guarantees including the Seal, and "exaggerated and false" claims in its advertisements. The publisher fought the proceedings for two years, during which time competing editors from the Ladies Home Journal and McCall's testified against Good Housekeeping. The FTC's ultimate ruling was against the magazine, forcing it to remove some claims and phraseology from its ad pages. The words "Tested and Approved" were dropped from the Seal. But the magazine's popularity was unaffected, steadily rising in circulation and profitability. In 1962, the wording of the Seal was changed to a guarantee of "Product or Performance", while dropping its endorsement of rhetorical promises made by the advertisers. In its varying forms, the Seal became inextricably associated with the magazine, and many others (e.g., McCall's, Parents Magazine, and Better Homes and Gardens) mimicked the practice.

International editions
Good Housekeeping began to be published in the United Kingdom in 1922. William Randolph Hearst appointed Alice Maud Head initially as assistant editor. Head rose to be the managing director, as well as purportedly being the highest paid woman in Europe. As Hearst's deputy, Head would make decisions on his behalf about not just editing, but also buying for him St Donat's Castle, expensive art objects, and three giraffes for his zoo. Head remained head until 1939.

In Latin America, a Spanish version of the magazine, titled Buenhogar, was published in the United States and Latin America by the Televisa corporation in Mexico from 1965, under license from the Hearst Corporation.

In Russia, the magazine was published first as Domashny Ochag ("Good Home, or Hearth"), before changing its name to Novy Ochag ("New Home, or Hearth") sometime in July 2022. Published by Independent Media, and described as "a resource for women who take care of their homes, raise children, have successful careers and help others", Novy Ochag recorded a digital readership of 13 million in October 2023.

Doerfel (crater)

Doerfel is a lunar impact crater that is located in the vicinity of the southern pole, just on the far side of the Moon. It lies approximately midway between the large crater Hausen to the east-northeast and the even larger Zeeman to the southwest.

The outer wall of Doerfel retains much of its original form, but it has been rounded and slightly eroded by a history of subsequent bombardment. Many tiny craterlets lie on or near the rim, especially along the western edge. There is a slight outward extrusion in the southern rim, and the opposite, northern rim appears somewhat jumbled and eroded.

Doerfel's interior is also marked by several tiny craterlets in the otherwise relatively flat surface. There is a very slight central rise near the midpoint.

Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Doerfel.

Maurice Malpas

Maurice Daniel Robert Malpas (born 3 August 1962) is a Scottish former football player and coach. He signed for Dundee United in 1979 and spent his entire professional playing career with the club until his retirement in 2000. With him, United were Scottish champions in 1983 and Scottish Cup winners in 1994. European runs there included reaching the 1983–84 European Cup semi final and the 1987 UEFA Cup final.

Malpas made his debut for the Scotland national team in 1984. He went on to gain 55 caps, making him a member of the Scotland national football team roll of honour. He played for Scotland at two World Cups and one UEFA European Championship final tournaments. Malpas began a coaching career in 1991 whilst still a Dundee United player, continuing as a coach after his retirement until leaving the club in 2003. He joined Motherwell as assistant manager to Terry Butcher before becoming manager from 2006 until 2007. He coached the Scotland under-21 team on a temporary basis before another brief spell in club management with Swindon Town during 2008. More recently he has been assistant manager to Butcher at both Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Hibernian.

Early life
Malpas was born on 3 August 1962 in Dunfermline, Fife, and attended Queen Anne High School.

Dundee United
He trained with Dunfermline Athletic before joining Leven Royals under-14s team.

He signed for Dundee United in August 1979. His total of 830 competitive first team appearances is the second highest in the club's history. Malpas initially combined his football career with studying for an electrical engineering degree at Dundee College of Technology (now Abertay University), and didn't become a full-time professional until 1984. Despite this, he made his debut in for Dundee United in 1981 and won the Scottish Football League Premier Division title in 1983. In the subsequent 1983–84 European Cup, United reached the semi-final.

United made it to the final of the 1986–87 UEFA Cup; en-route they defeated Terry Venables' FC Barcelona side home and away in the quarter-final, and inflicted a first home defeat on Borussia Mönchengladbach in 55 European games going back to 1970 in the semi-final. They lost 2–1 on aggregate to IFK Gothenburg in the final, the second leg of which was their 70th match of the season.

United and Malpas played in five Scottish Cup finals in nine years: in 1985 they took the lead but lost 2–1 to Celtic. In 1987 (played in between the two legs of the UEFA Cup final) they lost 1–0 St Mirren. In 1988 against Celtic, the pattern of 1985 was almost repeated but this time it was an even later goal which defeated United. In 1991, they suffered a 4–3 extra time defeat to Motherwell. Captain Malpas lifted the trophy when Craig Brewster scored the only goal in the 1994 Scottish Cup Final win against Rangers.

Malpas won the SFWA Footballer of the Year award in 1991. His long service was rewarded with two testimonial matches, in 1991 and 2000. He was inducted into the Dundee United Hall of Fame as one of its inaugural members in 2008.

Scotland
Winning first of his caps in 1984, Malpas is the most recent part-time professional to have played for Scotland. He won 55 caps in total. In his 50th international appearance (away to Norway in June 1992) he was made captain to mark the occasion. He had previously captained Scotland in a 1990 Euro 1992 qualifying match against Bulgaira. He appeared for Scotland at the 1986 and 1990 World Cups and at Euro 1992.

Coaching and managerial career
After retiring as a player, Malpas assumed full-time coaching duties at Tannadice, having been acting as player/coach since 1991. He was part of the temporary management team following the dismissal of Alex Smith in October 2002, but left the club in January 2003.

He initially joined Motherwell as assistant manager to former coaching colleague Terry Butcher. Malpas became Motherwell manager in May 2006, following Butcher's departure to coach Sydney FC. He left the club in June 2007 after one season in charge, having taken the team from a comfortable mid-table position to one that narrowly avoided relegation. Malpas became caretaker manager of the Scotland under-21 team in August 2007, but missed out on the permanent position to Billy Stark.

In January 2008, Malpas became manager of Swindon Town after the takeover of the club by local businessman Andrew Fitton, replacing former Dundee United teammate Paul Sturrock. Malpas was sacked by chairman Andrew Fitton on 14 November 2008 after a poor run of results and shock exits in the FA Cup to Histon and in the Football League Trophy within a week. He joined Terry Butcher again as assistant, this time at SPL club Inverness Caledonian Thistle. In 2013, Malpas moved with Butcher to Hibernian, rejecting the chance to manage Inverness. Butcher and Malpas both left Hibernian in June 2014, after the club had been relegated from the Scottish Premiership.

Malpas became director of football at Raith Rovers on 26 December 2014. He left Raith Rovers on 22 May 2015 and was inducted to the Scottish Football Hall of Fame in October 2015.

Malpas returned to Inverness Caledonian Thistle in April 2017, working for manager Richie Foran.

Talk:The Hamptons

Poverty in the Hamptons
Why didn't the author pu Quogue in the list of Hamlets/Villages. It is right in-between Westhampton Beach and Hampton Bays, which are both on the list. I would know because I live there. It is most certainly in the Hamptons.

, Montauk isn't in the hamptons? what about quogue? (Any time some TV show says they have something "in the hamptons" it's in quogue)

 * I'm sorry it most certainly is not. Montauk maybe but Quogue no. Quogue is not a hampton.

And this fails to mention that there are still many many middle class to lower class people living in the hamptons (especially hampton bays - called "the poor hampton").

Grievre 19:52, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Someone should tone down the paragraph about people who are forced to move out due to the government's fear of allowing affordable housing. It's POV. Rhobite 04:51, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)

 * This was obviously written by someone against the fact that people are being forced to move out, It is POV. 24.90.128.71 02:05, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

It completely fails to mention the abject poverty, there are immigrant communities living in tent cities. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ForrestFire11 (talk • contribs) 03:41, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

 * It is not the purpose of this article to mention poverty. --AmE (talk) 04:47, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Literature about the Hamptons

 * The Great Gatsby, which was listed in this section, is not about the Hamptons.
 * Seconded. Deleting the reference. J1.grammar natz (talk) 00:13, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Migrant Workers
Even in supposedly affluent East Hampton, there are large numbers of migrant workers from countries such as Colombia and Ecuador, who move there to take advantage of the construction industry spawned by the presence of the upper-class. Huh? supposedly ? affluent. Firstly, its no secret that the Hamptons are extremely affluent, not supposedly. Secondly, It comes as no surprise to me as someone living in an affluent area that there are migrant workers. As in most parts of the US the migrant workers flock to the affluent areas for several reasons. One, there is rarely a lack of construction work both homes and commercial. Two, generally speaking affluent people employ other people do to yard work, landscaping, maintenance work etc. And these are jobs that today many Americans wont do. Three, there are usually, restaurants, malls, hotels etc. where migrant workers can usually find employment. Mac Domhnaill 23:04, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Article reads like a travel brochure
There's good information in this article, but the tone is that of a travel brochure with lines like these: "Southampton has a decidedly colonial feel, and its Job Lane's shopping district oozes chic." "Many oldtime fisherman continue to call Hampton Bays home. It enjoys access to Peconic and Shinnecock Bays as well as the Atlantic Ocean." Could use a little cleanup. 216.98.197.149 00:05, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Article Slammed By Newsday
This particular article was slammed by Newsday on April 17, 2007 for numerous errors. Read the article. This article is clearly written by folks who don't know what they are writing and don't cite sources -- all violations of Wiki policy. This article should say nothing but that the Hamptons consist of Southampton (town), New York and East Hampton (town), New York. Everything else here is speculation. Further it's impossible to keep up with the revolving door of Hamptonites. The damage is now done. Thanks alot. Americasroof 20:33, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

 * The article that you refer to pointed out the following errors: 1) it suggests that Billy Joel and Martha Stewart do not have homes in the Hamptons (while Joel did sell a home in the Hamptons in 2000, as the Newsday article points out, it fails to mention that he then bought one in Sag Harbor, and is still residing and crashing cars in the Hamptons, and similarly while Martha Stewart has sold one residence in the Hamptons, she still has a home in East Hampton, 2) they suggest that the Wikipedia entry of the Montauk Point Lighthouse having been completed in 1792 is off by four years (well, Wiki is full of dates, and some will be wrong -- no reason to delete most of the article as you have done), and 3) they point out that while Vonnegut died on Wednesday (at 9:45, as it turns out, Wiki did not reflect that fact until Friday monrning (hey, not too shabby, in my opinion).

 * I don't have the time to parse through your gutting of the article now (hopefully someone else does), but just glancing at what you have done it is clearly an overreaction in my point of view. I see that someone has put the towns back at least.  And clearly all of the movies belong -- just follow the wiki article, to the imdb article, and the source is there.  That suffices.  I hope that either you or someone else will put back the material that should be reinserted.

 * The Hamptons refers to a specific, citable geographic region on Long Island. I easily found two news reports here and here that refer to the Hamptons as well as specific locales in the Hamptons.  In general, if people are fighting over something then we try to resolve the dispute or block them for disruptive editing.  I don't see any reason why that approach won't work here. Syrthiss (talk) 18:18, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't agree with your interpretation of the linked sections of What Wikipedia is not. The article does not meet any of the points listed in that section; simply including a list does not make it a directory. The "battleground" section is concerned with user conduct rather than articles that may provoke certain user conduct (and the page history demonstrates that has not happened here anyway). If you wish, you can list the article for deletion at WP:AFD, but I have little doubt that it will be swiftly kept due to the reams of references to "The Hamptons" in modern parlance. I'm from the UK and am pretty familiar with the area due to references in popular culture such as TV shows, news articles etc. – Toon 18:20, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I do agree, however, that we need more references to define the area itself; however even if it cannot be easily or definitely bounded would not make it unsuitable as an article. – Toon 18:23, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * First, Syrthiss, the NY post article does not define what the Hamptons are; the NY Times article also does not define what the hamptons are, it only refers to a location named "The Hamptons. Second, Toon05, I'm sorry if those linked sections don't apply. Nevertheless, I'm disappointed that this area cannot be defined as a location. I can say what it refers to, but my next door neighbor will disagree. I'd like to reach a solution. --rbn (talk) 18:42, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I think the solution is to stick to what the reliable sources we find define as being "The Hamptons", and remove others as not verifiable. I had a look online, but all the NYT archive articles are behind a paywall, unfortunately. There are reams of references to "the Hamptons" though. – Toon 19:14, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I think the situation is different than other places with names. There is no official document outlining what The Hamptons are. The Hamptons are not a census designated place, The Hamptons does not exist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by EttAme (talk • contribs) 02:19, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
 * "The Hamptons" are well known, nationally and internationally. No official "naming" is necessary. User:Fred Bauder Talk 10:26, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Summer colony
The section "Summer colony" and its usage in this article should be limited to the period prior to about 1950 when The Hamptons were geographically isolated and hosted a relatively small number of the wealthy who spent summers there in their "cottages," as they called their country estates. It was not a place for people, however rich, who had to be back in Manhattan on Monday for work. Succeeding sections with appropriate titles should cover the period after the 50s. There are probably about 3 sections that could be added, one covering the period prior to the real estate boom, the boom, and the contemporary situation.

East Hampton Local
I grew up in East Hampton, as did my parents, their parents, etc. I was born in the late 50s. I grew up in paradise. My family goes back to the 1700s there. Lighthouse Keepers, Baymen, whaler, Coast Guard and more. There were some wealthy people there. They were considerate and friendly. My Dad said "old money" actually meaning they were respectful and kind. A lot of artists and writers who loved the peace and beauty as well. I remember bottle hunting in the woods, clamming with my feet, crabbing followed by a feast at Gramma's. I spent summer days at the ocean a lot. June would get busy with families arriving. September they went home. I liked the fall through spring. Hanging out with friends and family. All the stores were "Mom and Pop" ones. I knew all the owners. They knew me, I looked like my Mom. My one hope is that the local history stays in tact. I hope locals write about what it was like. Although I have many stories, I'm not quite sure if personal info should be shared. There was a book written ages ago that my Dad was in. I'll leave it there. The beauty of East Hampton isn't "all that glitters is gold" it's the local families, the Montauk Indians,the nature what truly glitters is the sea. BonacRocks (talk) 16:52, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Leave the World Behind
I don’t doubt the Hamptons is evoked but I don’t believe Leave the World Behind is technically set there, they just say Long Island. Indeed at the end they can see Manhattan which would suggest (implausibly) more something like Great Neck… 73.244.193.8 (talk) 14:40, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Dawson (crater)

Dawson is a lunar impact crater that lies on the southern hemisphere on the far side of the Moon. It lies across a crater triplet: the southeast rim is intruding into the crater Alekhin; the northwest rim also intrudes into the larger satellite crater Dawson V, and the northeast rim is attached to the comparably sized Dawson D. To the south of this formation is the large crater Zeeman. West of Dawson is the crater Crommelin, and to the north lies Fizeau.

Dawson is a relatively young formation that lies in the midst of a field of ancient, heavily eroded craters. The outer rim is nearly circular, but slightly distorted due to the craters it overlaps. The western rim is slightly flattened where it overlaps Dawson V. The crater formation shows little appearance of wear, with only a small craterlet across the northwest rim and another inside the northeast rim. The interior is irregular with some slight terraces along parts of the inner wall.

Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Dawson.

Treaty of Constantinople (1832)

The Great Powers ratified the terms of the Constantinople Arrangement in connection with the border between Greece and the Ottoman Empire in the London Protocol of 30 August 1832, which marked the end of the Greek War of Independence and established modern Greece as an independent state free of the Ottoman Empire. The Treaty of Constantinople was the product of the London Conference of 1832 which opened in February 1832 with the participation of the Great Powers (Britain, France and Russia) on the one hand and the Ottoman Empire on the other. The factors which shaped the treaty included the refusal of Leopold of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to assume the Greek throne. He was not at all satisfied with the Aspropotamos–Spercheios line, which replaced the more favorable Arta–Volos line considered by the Great Powers earlier.

The withdrawal of Leopold as a candidate for the throne of Greece, and the July Revolution in France, delayed the final settlement of the frontiers of the new kingdom until a new government was formed in London. Lord Palmerston, who took over as British Foreign Secretary, agreed to the Arta-Volos borderline. However, the secret note on Crete, which the Bavarian plenipotentiary communicated to the Courts of Britain, France and Russia, bore no fruit.

Under the protocol signed on 7 May 1832 between Bavaria and the protecting Powers, and basically dealing with the way in which the Regency was to be managed until Otto reached his majority (while also concluding the second Greek loan, for a sum of £2,400,000 sterling), Greece was defined as an independent kingdom, with the Arta-Volos line as its northern frontier. The Ottoman Empire was indemnified in the sum of 40,000,000 piastres for the loss of the territory. The borders of the Kingdom were reiterated in the London Protocol of 30 August 1832 signed by the Great Powers, which ratified the terms of the Constantinople Arrangement in connection with the border between Greece and the Ottoman Empire and marked the end of the Greek War of Independence creating modern Greece as an independent state free of the Ottoman Empire.

Jenny Diski

Jenny Diski FRSL (née Simmonds; 8 July 1947 – 28 April 2016) was an English writer. She had a troubled childhood, but was taken in and mentored by the novelist Doris Lessing; she lived in Lessing's house for four years. Diski was educated at University College London, and worked as a teacher during the 1970s and early 1980s.

Diski was a regular contributor to the London Review of Books; the collections Don't and A View from the Bed include articles and essays written for the publication. She won the 2003 Thomas Cook Travel Book Award for Stranger on a Train: Daydreaming and Smoking around America With Interruptions.

Early life
Diski was a troubled teenager from a difficult, fractured home. Her parents were working-class Jewish immigrants to London. Her father, James Simmonds (born Israel Zimmerman), made his living on the black market. He deserted the family when Diski was aged six. This caused her mother, Rene (born Rachel Rayner), to have a nervous breakdown, and Diski was then put into foster care. Her father came back, but left permanently when she was aged eleven.

Diski spent much of her youth as a psychiatric inpatient or outpatient. At the same time, she immersed herself deeply in the culture of the 60s, from the Aldermaston marches to the Grosvenor Square Protests of 1968, from drugs to free love, from jazz to acid rock, and a flirtation with the ideas and methods of R. D. Laing. Taken into the London home of the novelist Doris Lessing, who was a school-friend's mother, Diski resumed her education and by the start of the 1970s was training as a teacher, starting the Freightliners free school and having her first publication.

Writings
Over the decades, Diski was a prolific writer of fiction and non-fiction articles, reviews and books. Many of her early books tackle themes such as depression, sado-masochism and madness. Some of her later writings, such as Apology for the Woman Writing (about the French writer Marie de Gournay), strike a more positive note, while her spare, ironic tone, using all the resources of magic realism, provides a unique take on even the most distressing material. Compared at times with her mentor Lessing as both were concerned with the thinking woman, Diski was called a post-postmodernist for her abiding distrust of logical systems of thought, whether postmodern or not.

Fiction
Diski wrote eleven novels. Her first novel Nothing Natural was about a sadomasochistic affair. Her only collection of short stories, The Vanishing Princess, published in England in 1995, was described as being about "pleasure, the writing life, the difficulties of family life, and the rules governing femininity."

Non-fiction
In The Sixties, Diski described her experience as a young woman starting out in life: "I lived in London during that period, regretting the Beats, buying clothes, going to movies, dropping out, reading, taking drugs, spending time in mental hospitals, demonstrating, having sex, teaching". She also described the decade's pervasive sexism, institutionalised in the countercultural cult of casual sex, asserting that "On the basis that no means no, I was raped several times by men who arrived in my bed and wouldn't take no for an answer". In the book, Diski returns repeatedly to the question of how far the cult of the self in the permissive society gave rise to 1980s neoliberalism, greed and self-interest. She concludes that, in the words of Charles Shaar Murray, "The line from hippie to yuppie is not nearly as convoluted as people like to believe".

Her 1997 memoir Skating to Antarctica, ostensibly about a journey to see the Antarctic ice, also tells much about Diski's early life. Kirkus Reviews comments that "Antarctica is not so much a destination as a symptom in this intense, disturbing memoir of a wickedly unpleasant childhood." Diski likens the bleak whiteness of the icescape to the safety of the unbroken whiteness of the psychiatric hospital of her depressed youth. In her obituary of Diski, Kate Kellaway calls Skating to Antarctica "the most remarkable of her books. It stars her daughter, Chloe, who steers Diski into finding out what became of her mother, with whom relations had been severed for decades. The narrative alternates startlingly between a trip to the frozen south and this search—Diski's reluctant advance towards catharsis."

Her 2010 non-fiction work, What I Don't Know About Animals, examines the ambiguous status of pet animals in Western society, at once sentimentalised and brutalised, or all too often abandoned. Nicholas Lezard, reviewing the book in The Guardian, admires Diski as "one of the language's great, if under-appreciated, stylists", in this case where "her honest, direct and intelligent prose has produced an honest, direct and intelligent look at relations between ourselves and the animal world."

Diski's final, valedictory, book, In Gratitude, was published shortly before her death in 2016. In it, she "elegant[ly]" takes a tour of her life, knowing she was soon to die of an aggressive and inoperable cancer. She rejects the usual "cancer clichés", instead going back to her time with Lessing, meeting other famous literary figures including Robert Graves, Alan Sillitoe, Lindsay Anderson, and R. D. Laing. The Kirkus reviewer sums up the book as "Sometimes rueful, often oblique, but provocative and highly readable."

Personal life
She married Roger Marks in 1976, and they jointly chose the name Diski. Their daughter Chloe was born in 1977. The couple separated in 1981 and divorced. Her later partner until the end of her life, Ian Patterson, known as "the Poet" in Diski's writings, is a poet, translator and was director of studies in English at Queens' College, Cambridge.

In June 2014, Diski was told that she had at best another three years to live. In September 2014, she announced that she had been diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. She died on 28 April 2016.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

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

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

Fizeau (crater)

Fizeau is a prominent lunar impact crater that is located on the far side of the Moon, in the southern hemisphere. Nearby craters of note include Minkowski to the west-northwest, and Eijkman to the southwest.

The inner wall of the crater rim is multiply terraced in the northern half, while the southern rim has a shear inner surface leading down to slumped deposits on the crater floor. There is a small but prominent crater lying across the southwest rim, with an inner surface that forms terraced steps covering most of the interior. There are also smaller craterlets on the rim to the northeast and west-southwest.

The interior of Fizeau is relatively flat beyond the terraces, with only a few low rises in the northwest section of the crater and a central peak near the midpoint. Only a few tiny craterlets are located on the floor.

Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Fizeau.
