Cardiac electrophysiology

Cardiac electrophysiology is a branch of cardiology and basic science focusing on the electrical activities of the heart. The term is usually used in clinical context, to describe studies of such phenomena by invasive (intracardiac) catheter recording of spontaneous activity as well as of cardiac responses to programmed electrical stimulation - clinical cardiac electrophysiology. However, cardiac electrophysiology also encompasses basic research and translational research components. Specialists studying cardiac electrophysiology, either clinically or solely through research, are known as cardiac electrophysiologists.

Description
Electrophysiological (EP) studies are performed to assess complex arrhythmias, elucidate symptoms, evaluate abnormal electrocardiograms, assess risk of developing arrhythmias in the future, and design treatment. These procedures include therapeutic methods (typically radiofrequency ablation, or cryoablation) in addition to diagnostic and prognostic procedures. Other therapeutic modalities used in this field include antiarrhythmic drug therapy and implantation of pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators and cardiac resynchronisation therapy devices.

Electrophysiological study
The cardiac electrophysiology (EP) study typically measures the response of myocardium to programmed electrical stimulation (PES) on specific pharmacological regimens in order to assess the likelihood that the regimen will successfully prevent potentially fatal sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation VF (VF) in the future. Sometimes a series of EP study drug trials must be conducted to enable the cardiologist to select the one regimen for long-term treatment that best prevents or slows the development of VT or VF following PES. Such studies may also be conducted in the presence of a newly implanted or newly replaced cardiac pacemaker or ICD.

Physician specialists
A specialist in cardiac electrophysiology is known as an electrophysiologist, or "heart electrician" in layman' terms. Cardiac electrophysiology is a subspecialty of cardiology in most countries and usually requires two or more years of EP fellowship training after a general cardiology residency. In early 2011, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services promoted cardiac electrophysiology to its own specialty category in the United States. Cardiac electrophysiologists are trained to perform interventional cardiac electrophysiology studies and cardiac rhythm management device implantations.

Research cardiac electrophysiologist
Cardiac electrophysiologists specialize in a sub-area of electrophysiology, which in turn is a sub-area of physiology. This specialization usually requires education at the doctoral (PhD, DSc, or MD/DO) level to become a principal investigator for research projects. The area of research is often multi-disciplinary involving chemistry, bioelectrics, biology, and biomedical engineering. The flagship tools used by cardiac electrophysiologists overlap with the toolbox of the neuroscientist including patch clamp and optical mapping.

Allied professionals
Mapping specialists (EP techs, EP physiologists) are typically educated up to the Bachelor's or Master's level and are employed by either a cardiac electrophysiology company or department. Often international certification such as Certified Electrophysiology Specialist (CEPS) by the International Board of Heart Rhythm Examiners (IBHRE) or EHRA Certified Electrophysiology Specialist (ECES) or equivalent is required.

Subdiscipline
Cardiac electrophysiology is a relatively young subdiscipline of cardiology and internal medicine. It was developed during the mid-1970s by Hein J. J. Wellens, professor of medicine at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands and attending cardiologist at the Academic Hospital in Maastricht. In 1980 the first microprocessor based stimulator was developed there.

Textbook
The author of the definitive textbook in the field is by the late Mark E. Josephson, former Robinette Professor of Medicine and chief of cardiology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, and attending cardiologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts. The most recent published edition of Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology: Techniques and Interpretations is the 6th edition in 2020.

Professional societies
The Heart Rhythm Society, founded in 1979, promotes education and advocacy for cardiac arrhythmia professionals (including cardiac electrophysiologists) and patients. European Heart Rhythm Association, a part of European Society of Cardiology, is active in Europe.

Certification
Founded in 1985 as NASPExAM, the International Board of Heart Rhythm Examiners (IBHRE) offers knowledge based board exams for physicians and allied health professionals working in the field of cardiac electrophysiology and cardiac rhythm device management. European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) provides knowledge and practical competency based certification to physicians and allied health professionals as well as accreditation of cardiac electrophysiology training centres in Europe and neighbouring countries.

Mapping systems
Electroanatomic mapping uses electric and magnetic fields to create three dimensional models of heart structures using specialized catheters.

Whit Stillman

John Whitney Stillman (born January 25, 1952) is an American writer-director and actor known for his 1990 film Metropolitan, which earned him a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. He is also known for his other films, Barcelona (1994), The Last Days of Disco (1998), Damsels in Distress (2011), as well as his most recent film, Love & Friendship, released in 2016.

Early life, family and education
Stillman was born in 1952 in Washington, D.C., to Margaret Drinker (née Riley), from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and a Democratic politician, John Sterling Stillman, the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs under President John F. Kennedy (a classmate of Stillman's father at Harvard), from Washington, D.C.  His great-grandfather was businessman James Stillman; his great-great-grandfather, Charles Stillman, founded Brownsville, Texas.

Stillman was raised in Cornwall, New York, and experienced depression during puberty. "I was very depressed when I was 11 or 12," he recounted to the Wall Street Journal. "I was sent to the leading Freudian child psychologist in Washington, D.C. It was heck. The last thing I needed to talk about was guilt about sex." However, when his parents separated, he found that his depression ceased. "I actually felt healthier."

Stillman's godfather was E. Digby Baltzell, a University of Pennsylvania professor and chronicler of the American upper class.

He attended the Collegiate School in New York City, Potomac School in McLean, Virginia, and Millbrook School in Stanford, New York. He majored in history at Harvard University, where he wrote for its student newspaper The Harvard Crimson.

Early career
After graduating from Harvard in 1973, Stillman began working as an editorial assistant at Doubleday in New York City, followed by a stint as a junior editor at The American Spectator, a conservative magazine. Stillman has subsequently distanced himself from his work for the Spectator, stating that he now hates "to be drawn into ideological debates" and prefers to remain "apolitical".

He was introduced to some film producers from Madrid and persuaded them that he could sell their films to Spanish-language television in the US. He worked for the next few years in Madrid and Barcelona as a sales agent for directors Fernando Trueba and Fernando Colomo, and sometimes acted in their films, usually playing comic Americans, as in Trueba's film Sal Gorda.

1990s
Metropolitan (1990)

Stillman wrote the screenplay for Metropolitan from 1984 to 1988 while running an illustration agency in New York, and he financed the film by selling the insider rights to his apartment (for $50,000) and with the contributions of friends and relatives. Loosely based on Stillman's Manhattan days, with his divorced mother during the week of Christmas break 1969 during his first year at Harvard, Metropolitan tells the story of the alienated Princetonian Tom Townsend's introduction to the "Sally Fowler Rat Pack" (SFRP), a small group of preppy, Upper East Side Manhattanites making the rounds at debutante balls during Christmas break of their first year in college. Though he is a socialist deeply skeptical of the SFRP's upper-class values, Tom (Edward Clements) grows increasingly attached to the cynical Nick (Chris Eigeman) and plays an important part, of which he is largely unaware, in the life of Audrey (Carolyn Farina), a young debutante. Many of the exclusive interior locations were lent to Stillman by family friends and relatives.

The film premiered and was screened as part of the Directors' Fortnight section at the 1990 Cannes Film Festival. Metropolitan was also nominated for the Grand Jury Prize (Drama) at the 1990 Sundance Film Festival. Stillman won Best First Feature at the 6th Independent Spirit Awards and was nominated for an Academy Award in 1991 for Best Original Screenplay. He won the 1990 New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best New Director. The movie was a financial success, grossing about $3 million on a budget of $225,000. In an interview Stillman said of the film, "The material seemed pretty rich, almost rank. And perhaps it's better approaching a subject people feel strongly about, even if that strong feeling is hatred, than something colorless and unspecific. Also, I love anachronism and this was the chance to film, essentially, a costume picture set in the present day or recent past. But a large part of the idea was to disguise our pitifully low budget by filming the most elegant subject available."

Barcelona (1994)

Barcelona, his first studio-financed film, was inspired by his own experiences in Spain during the early 1980s. Stillman has described the film as An Officer and a Gentleman, but with the title referring to two men rather than one. The men, Ted and Fred, experience the awkwardness of being in love in a foreign country culturally and politically opposed to their own.

The Last Days of Disco (1998)

The Last Days of Disco was based loosely on Stillman's experiences in various Manhattan nightclubs, including Studio 54. The film concerns Ivy League and Hampshire graduates falling in and out of love in the disco scene of Manhattan in the "very early 1980s". Chloë Sevigny and Kate Beckinsale play roommates with opposite personalities who frequent disco clubs together. The Last Days of Disco concludes a trilogy loosely based on Stillman's life and contains many references to the previous two films: a character considers a move to Spain to work for American ad agencies there after meeting with the Barcelona character of Ted Boynton, and Metropolitan's heroine Audrey Rouget reappears briefly as a successful publisher, as do a few other characters from that film, as clubgoers. In 2000 Stillman published a novelization of the film, titled The Last Days of Disco, with Cocktails at Petrossian Afterwards. The novelization won the French 2014 Prix Fitzgerald Award.

2000s
Stillman stated in 2006 that he was working on several unfinished scripts. He had been slated to direct a film adaptation of Christopher Buckley's novel Little Green Men, but in a 2009 interview, Stillman said the adaptation is "[not] happening, at least with me." He was writing another film, Dancing Mood, set in Jamaica in the 1960s, which was not produced.

2010s
Damsels in Distress (2011)

After a 13-year hiatus, Stillman released his fourth film, Damsels in Distress, starring Greta Gerwig, Adam Brody, Hugo Becker and Lio Tipton (credited as Analeigh Tipton). It premiered September 10 at the 2011 Venice Film Festival as the closing film and received favorable reviews. The film is "about three young women at an East Coast university, the transfer student that joins their group and the young men they become entangled with."

The Cosmopolitans (2014)

In 2014, Stillman wrote and directed the pilot episode of the TV series The Cosmopolitans for Amazon Studios on August 28, 2014 the pilot was available and Amazon Prime users could watch the pilot episode and vote to pick it up for a full series. On July 11, 2016, Tom Grater reported that Stillman was commissioned by Amazon to write six new scripts to continue his original pilot film for The Cosmopolitans.

"'I explained to Amazon that I don’t like outlining or projecting what something’s going to be. I like to allow a story to arise as I’m writing scripts. I find it horrible when I try to think of something for the plot without really being on the ground and seeing where it goes. I was really resistant to do the mini-bible. So I gave them something, but I really didn’t want to do it that way. They also knew about the film, so they commissioned six scripts for the first season that they were going to let me postpone until I finished this film, which is now. So in ten days, we’ll be full on with that. It’s been really good because I think I was waiting for the idea I really want, and I think I have that now. It’s not exactly Paris, it’s a European idea. So it will be Chloe and Adam Brody. We’ll keep the pilot, that’s part of the story, but we’ll be going a different place with it.' - Whit Stillman, shortly before the world premiere of Love & Friendship at Sundance"

In 2016, Amazon stated that: "Our agreements with the content provider don’t allow purchases of this title at this time."

"'The bulk of the pilot of “The Cosmopolitans” involves several of Stillman’s signature subjects. The first is a party: the male trio, plus Aubrey, head to a soirée at the posh apartment of an arrogantly wealthy Parisian acquaintance (or perhaps a German in Paris), Fritz (Freddy Åsblom). For Stillman, parties are laboratories where possibilities arise suddenly from the close and quickly ricocheting contacts of social atoms—and where social rules, hidden beneath the murky surface of daily life, emerge more clearly, in ritualized isolation. The second is something that happens at the party: a dance, but a formally patterned one where the rules are the very subject.' - Richard Brody, 27 August 2014"

Love & Friendship (2016)

A film version of one of Jane Austen's early short novels Lady Susan was reported by Entertainment Weekly on January 22, 2016. This followed the indication that Little, Brown and Company would be publishing the screenplay adapted by Stillman The film premiered in January 2016 at the Sundance Film Festival under the title of Love & Friendship. Although the plot of the film is adapted from Lady Susan, the actual title used (Love & Friendship) is from another, unrelated early epistolary novel by Austen, unpublished during her lifetime. It received universal acclaim from critics.

The promotional announcement by Little, Brown and Company summarized Stillman's adaptation stating; "Recently widowed, Lady Susan arrives, unannounced, at her brother-in-law's estate to wait out colorful rumors about her dalliances circulating through polite society. While there, she becomes determined to secure a new husband for herself, and one for her reluctant debutante daughter, Frederica, too. As Lady Susan embarks on a controversial relationship with a married man, seduction, deception, broken hearts, and gossip all ensue. With a pitch-perfect Austenian sensibility, Stillman breathes new life into Austen's work, making it his own by adding original narration from a character comically loyal to the story's fiendishly manipulative heroine, Lady Susan."

Filmmaking style
Stillman wrote and directed three comedies of manners released in the 1990s: Metropolitan (1990), Barcelona (1994), and The Last Days of Disco (1998); he published a novel based on the last of these films. After completing his film trilogy, Stillman left independent comedy and started researching and writing a series of scripts set abroad. In August 1998 (shortly after The Last Days of Disco was released) he left his loft conversion in Manhattan's SoHo and moved to Paris. He returned to New York in 2010.

A fourth film, Damsels in Distress, was released in 2011, premiering out of competition as the closing film at the 68th Venice International Film Festival. The Guardian in 2012 compared Stillman to Terrence Malick, another filmmaker who has "come to owe a good part of their mystique to the very paucity of their oeuvre...The lengthy gaps in between (films) have created expectations that are hard to fulfil, and admirers have been inclined to overestimate their achievement." A reviewer at Salon wrote that the reason for the long gaps between his films is that "Stillman is sometimes simply too damn smart for his own good. You can't always tell at whom he's poking fun, or why, and it becomes unfortunately easy to typecast him as the WASP answer to Woody Allen and conclude that his movies are insufferably irritating documents of privilege. He himself is aware of that possibility the whole time, and bastes his entire worldview in a rueful, ironic-romantic glaze."

Stillman's effectiveness at the box-office has been mixed. He filmed Metropolitan for about $250,000, according to Stillman, with a box-office return of about $3 million. Barcelona was then filmed on a budget of under $3 million, returning just under $8 million. His third film was not a box-office success; its budget of $8 million returned about $3 million. Stillman, in an AOL interview following the twenty-fifth anniversary of Metropolitan, refers to himself as having been put into "director's prison" for more than 10 years before he made Damsels. His 2016 film Love & Friendship, a comedy based on a Jane Austen story, was a box-office success, grossing more than $20 million worldwide against a production budget of $3 million.

Honors and legacy
25-Year Wexner Center film retrospective

The Wexner Center for the Arts at the Ohio State University held a 25-year retrospective of the career and films of Stillman including his film titled Love & Friendship. At the time of the retrospective, Stillman was asked: "Your films all have a sort of costume drama sensibility, but without the costumes, and now you've made a costume drama, period dress and all." Stillman responded by stating that: "Love & Friendship doesn't loom as a costume drama, because it's a pretty funny comedy, so it's really not what you might anticipate. It's not Downton Abbey in any way, shape or form. There are a lot of very good English comic actors who have done the supporting parts and really shine. I love Jane Austen. I sort of wanted something of my own to work on between paid script writing assignments. It's good that I had so much time with no producer or studio executive wanting delivery quickly because it's an incredibly funny novella she wrote, but hard to read and hard to dramatize. It's an epistolary form from the 18th century and there are all these very funny ideas and lines buried within. It's kind of an inaccessible format and it was a long process of adaptation."

 Criterion Collection Release

In April 2016, The Criterion Collection released a retrospective box set edition of Metropolitan, Barcelona, and The Last Days of Disco, available on Blu-ray and DVD. Stillman himself oversaw the digital transfers of the films and recorded audio commentaries along with members of the casts and crews.

Media Lab Europe

Media Lab Europe (MLE) was a research institute in Dublin, Ireland, based on the MIT Media Lab concept. Created in 2000, it went into voluntary liquidation early in 2005. MLE was one of two such projects, the other of which, Media Lab Asia, split from MIT in 2003.

Creation
MLE was created in July 2000 and was initiated by the Irish Taoiseach Bertie Ahern. The lab received start-up funding of 35 million Euro from Irish Government, as well as sponsorship from industrial research partners (see below). It was located in a former Guinness warehouse in the historic Liberties area and was to have been a flagship project for the Irish Government's Digital Hub project, an urban renewal scheme aiming to encourage digital media companies to locate in the area. The MLE board initially included celebrity Bono from U2: in 2002, he stepped down in favour of fellow band member The Edge whose technical interests better fit the laboratory's mission and who (unlike Bono) regularly attended meetings of the board.

Work
The lab focused on innovation in digital technology and human-machine interaction. MLE was said to have managed to recreate the creative play research atmosphere of the MIT Media Lab. By 2004 MLE was in full swing, and in the lab's short lifespan the researchers produced 21 refereed journal articles, 59 refereed full papers for conferences, and 62 refereed shorter papers for conferences, for a total of 142 refereed works. The facility achieved international recognition for a range of its work including EEG based mind-computer interfaces; the BumpList and Iso-phone. The latter two projects received honorary mention at the 2004 Prix Ars Electronica. Furthermore, MLE researchers regularly contributed to international research forums of the European Commission, the Association for Computing Machinery, and others concerned with advancing technologies and their constructive uses.

MLE held a highly successful international conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME-02) in May 2002. In May 2004, in conjunction with Ireland's hosting of the EU Presidency, MLE and the Department of Education and Science assembled New Futures for Learning in the Digital Age. MLE also organised an associated international symposium Incremental Progress or Fundamental Change?, featuring Prof. Seymour Papert, to question attitudes and progress in digital learning.

Recognition issue
MIT refused to accredit any degrees coming from the lab and re-iterated this refusal in 2005 when the Irish government sought accreditation as a condition of renewed funding. Concerns had been raised by the Irish academic community as early as 2001, in the Wall Street Journal.

Demise
The lab was unfortunate to have been founded just as the internet bubble collapsed and with it the corporate ability to invest in projects of this sort. Compounding difficulties, some members of the Irish university sector expressed concerns about the government money invested in the Lab, Although, in a call for proposals, the Higher Education Authority commented "The HEA is delighted at the level of collaboration (between MLE and Irish universities) which has been achieved in the short time since Media Lab Europe was established."

2004 saw increasing emphasis on the long-term financial viability of the project and it encountered funding difficulties: it did not seem likely that the lab would become self-financing with its original funding model in the near future and the Irish government appeared unwilling to provide sufficient further support. On 14 January 2005 MLE's Board announced that the lab would be put into voluntary liquidation and close. In the declaration of insolvency Ernst & Young, the liquidator, noted a surplus of €325,000.

Commenting in The Irish Times, Nicholas Negroponte, the founder of the MIT Media Lab, said that the research at MLE was "beyond [his] wildest expectations"; he was critical of European companies for their unwillingness to invest in the lab and said: "Many visitors to MLE thought the work in Dublin was more edgy than at MIT. In this regard, Ireland received what it asked for in spades. The failing was economic and the financial model was freakishly untimely."

However, it was also reported in the media (see for example Weckler 2005) that both internal and government reports commissioned when the lab first reported financial difficulties came to critical conclusions about the initial elements of the labs operations and practices. For example, it was noted that the number of patents produced by the lab up to 2004 was very small, though the account did not reflect on how long processes of research development and patent application would normally take.

In additional reports, the working environment at MediaLab Europe was described as "hell", "chaos" and "inmates running the asylum", while independent assessments of the Laboratory's operation commissioned by MLE noted significant improvements in management and operations since mid-2003. It was also reported in (Smith 2005) that the Irish government would have provided further but limited funding, if the board had agreed to governance changes. Inevitably such brief, unofficial reports cannot present the full picture of these complex negotiations, in which both parties discussed a range of possibilities but ultimately found closure of the lab to be the only mutually-agreeable option.

Partners
Research partners included Allied Irish Banks, BT, Ericsson, Intel, and Orange. The lab also cooperated with several Irish universities and the Higher Education Authority.

Related organisations
The Irish Government has funded a new research organisation at the same location, the National Digital Research Centre, with a more applied focus.

MLE was not the only attempt to recreate the innovative spirit of the MIT Media Lab: Media Lab Asia was founded by MIT and the Indian government in 2001, but it parted ways with MIT in 2003. Consistent with the premise of MIT's OpenCourseWare movement, it seems there may be no substitute for "being there."

Talk:Dramatist

Could we have a source for the claim made by Michael Snow in Jan 2004 that the word dramatist is sometimes used to mean a composer or an actor, please? I don't think so, and the OED (the big one) and Webster's 3rd Unabridged don't think so either. I'm removing these claims for now, but I'll be happy to reinstate them if there's some support for them. --Bishonen 14:22, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Is there any reason for this not to redirect to playwright- particularly since that article defines a dramatist in the indentical manner? --Hal 19:12, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Roy Chadwick

Roy Chadwick, CBE, FRSA, FRAeS (30 April 1893 – 23 August 1947) was an aircraft design engineer for the Avro Company.

Born at Marsh Hall Farm, Farnworth, Widnes, the son of the mechanical engineer Charles Chadwick, he was the chief designer for Avro and was responsible for practically all of their aeroplane designs. He is famous in particular for designing the Avro Lancaster bomber, its follow-up Avro Lincoln and preliminary designs of the Avro Vulcan V-bomber. He also converted the Lincoln into the Shackleton. His Avro Yorks carried one-third of the entire British tonnage during the Berlin Airlift. Chadwick married Mary Gomersall in 1921 and had two daughters.

Early life
Chadwick attended St Clements Church School in Urmston, then studied at night school from 1907 to 1911 at the Manchester Municipal College of Technology whilst training as a draughtsman at the British Westinghouse Electrical Company in Trafford Park under George Edwin Bailey of Metropolitan-Vickers.

Avro years
At age 18 in September 1911, he began work as Alliott Verdon-Roe's (later Sir Alliott) personal assistant and the firm's draughtsman at A.V. Roe and Company, Avro, based at Brownsfield Mill, Manchester. Under the direction of A.V. Roe, Chadwick drafted the Avro D, a two-seater tractor biplane, the Avro E, which was converted to a floatplane, and in 1912, the Avro F, the world's first monoplane and enclosed-cabin machine. He then worked on the draughtsmanship for the Avro 500, 501 and 503, which led to Avro's World War I light bomber and trainer, the Avro 504.

In 1915 at age 22, Chadwick designed the Avro Pike, a twin-engined pusher biplane bomber. That year, when starting to design entire aircraft, he was based at Hamble, near Southampton. In 1918 he was appointed Avro's Chief Designer when Avro had about 40 employees. He designed the Avro Baby and in 1920, the Avro Aldershot, the world's largest single-engined bomber and variants of the Aldershot, the Avro Ava and the Avro Andover.

In 1925 he designed an all-metal plane, the single-seater fighter Avro Avenger and in 1926, the Avro Avian in which Bert Hinkler flew the first solo flight from England to Australia in 1928. In 1928, he moved back to the Avro factory in Woodford, Greater Manchester, used by BAE Systems until its closure in 2012. That year, he designed an eight-passenger high wing plane, the Avro 10 and a four-passenger version, the Avro 4. In 1929, he designed the RAF trainer, the Avro Tutor, a smaller version, the Avro Cadet and an enclosed version, the Avro Commodore. This was followed by the Avro Anson, used in World War II for training crews and as transport aircraft.

In the late 1930s work began on a long-range bomber, the Avro Manchester, followed by the Avro Lancaster (Avro 683) of which 7,300 were built. In 1939, production of Avro aircraft was moved to a new factory at Greengate in Chadderton, owned by BAE Systems until its closure in 2012. In 1941, he designed a long-range transport, the Avro York and larger variants of the Lancaster, the Avro Lincoln and the Avro Lancastrian.

After the war, he designed Britain's first pressurised airliner, the Avro Tudor, based around the Lancaster-derivative Avro Lincoln, though few were built and also the Avro Shackleton in 1946. His final involvement with Avro was overseeing the initial designs of the Avro Vulcan (Avro 698) from 1946. Author Harald Penrose describes Chadwick in "British Aviation" as "Artistic with unbounded enthusiasm and unsparing energy, Roy Chadwick was a great designer of intuitive diagnostic ability rather than a scientist, yet like all great masters was in step with the tide of knowledge and contemporary outlook." Chadwick was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in the 1943 Birthday Honours for his contribution to the design of the Lancaster and in particular for the adaptations he made to it in preparation for the low-level attacks on the German dams, during the Dam Busters raid Operation Chastise. The same year he was granted the Honorary Freedom of the City of London.

Death
Chadwick died on 23 August 1947 in a crash during the takeoff of the prototype Avro Tudor 2 G-AGSU from Woodford Aerodrome, in the vicinity of Shirfold Farm. The accident was due to an error in an overnight servicing in which the aileron cables were inadvertently crossed. His bust is displayed at the RAF Club in London, among other notable designers, and at the Chadwick Centre at the International Bomber Command Centre in Lincoln.

Legacy
The Chadwick Centre at the International Bomber Command Centre in Lincolnshire is named in honour of Chadwick. He is commemorated by a blue plaque on the surviving office building of the Avro factory at Greengate. and a blue plaque at 38 Chessel Avenue in Bitterne, Hampshire, where he lived from 1922 to 29 when the AVRO design team was based nearby at Hamble.

The A523 bypass around Poynton, which crosses the former Woodford Aerodrome runway, has been named Roy Chadwick Way in his honour. Another Roy Chadwick Way has been created in BAE Systems' new Enterprise Zone at the site of the old Samlesbury Aerodrome.

Chadwick’s private papers
Family correspondence with his daughter Rosemary Lapham, congratulations, personal documentation as well as photographs of family, acquaintances and aircraft, some conceptual engineering drawings and other mementos have been digitised and are available online.

Greatest Hits Radio Liverpool & The North West

Greatest Hits Radio Liverpool & The North West is an Independent Local Radio station based in Liverpool, England, owned and operated by Bauer Media Audio UK as part of the Greatest Hits Radio network. It broadcasts to Merseyside, North West England, Cheshire and parts of North Wales. The station forms part of Greatest Hits Radio North West.

As of March 2024, the station has a weekly audience of 343,000 listeners according to RAJAR.

Coverage
Although intended mostly for Merseyside, like its sister station, it serves Flintshire, northern Denbighshire, Greater Wrexham and eastern Greater Conwy in Wales; northern Cheshire, some parts of Greater Manchester and south-western Lancashire in England via signal overspill. In the past, the station has been telephoned from the island of Anglesey.

Early history
Originally it was known as "1548 City Talk", this service existed between 1989 and 1991 originally between 0700 and 1900 on weekdays. It was not a success, and a "Gold" format of music was introduced as the station initially became "Radio City Gold", and then "City Gold". Radio City was purchased by EMAP in 1998, and City Gold was rebranded Magic 1548 as part of the network of Magic stations on AM. In December 2001, EMAP decided that it was more economical for the Magic network to share off-peak programmes and in line with the other Magic AM stations began networking between 10am-2pm, 7pm-10am, and then 2am-6am (because of Pete Price's phone-in, which switched stations in January 2006). This resulted in Magic 1548 having more local programming on weekdays. During these hours it was simply known as Magic, although there were local commercial breaks, and local news on the hour.

In January 2003, the station ceased networking with the London station, Magic 105.4, and a regional network was created with Piccadilly Magic 1152 in Manchester at the hub at the weekend and Magic 1152 in Newcastle during the week. During networked hours, local adverts are aired, as well as a local news summary on the hour.

From July 2006, more networking was introduced across the Northern Magic AM network which meant only 4 hours a day was to be presented from the local studios, between 06:00 and 10:00am. In April 2012 Magic 1548, inline with the majority of other Magic North stations, dropped local weekend breakfast shows.

Between March 2013 and December 2014, weekday breakfast was syndicated from Piccadilly Magic 1152 in Manchester.

Radio City 2
Magic 1548 was rebranded as Radio City 2 in January 2015, as part of the launch of Bauer's City 2 network. Along with the rebranding, local news and traffic bulletins were reintroduced.

In July 2015, Bauer submitted a formal request to OFCOM to swap Radio City 2's format and frequencies with that of Radio City Talk. The company proposed to reintroduce local breakfast and drive time programming to the station and an enhanced local news service, alongside programming provided by the City 2 network. The request was approved three months later and the switchover took place on Monday 7 December 2015.

Greatest Hits Radio
On 7 January 2019, Radio City 2 rebranded as Greatest Hits Radio Liverpool, North West & North Wales.

On 1 September 2020, the station was merged with several local radio stations to form a new regional station, Greatest Hits Radio North West, as part of an expansion of the Bauer network.

The national weekday breakfast show continues to be broadcast from Bauer's Liverpool studios.

After Wire FM closed down, GHR Liverpool & The North West inherited the 107.2 MHz FM frequency.

Programming
National programming is produced and broadcast from Bauer's Liverpool studios at St Johns Beacon weekdays 6-10am for Greatest Hits At Breakfast with Simon Ross.

Networked programming originates from Bauer's London, Manchester and Edinburgh studios.

News
Bauer's Liverpool and Manchester newsroom broadcasts local news bulletins hourly from 6am-7pm on weekdays, and from 7am-1pm on Saturdays and Sundays. Headlines are broadcast on the half hour during weekday breakfast and drivetime shows, alongside traffic bulletins.

National bulletins from Sky News Radio are carried overnight with bespoke networked bulletins on weekend afternoons, usually originating from Bauer's Manchester newsroom.

Ashley Chadbourne McKinley

Ashley Chadbourne McKinley (June 23, 1896 – February 11, 1970) was an accomplished American aerial photographer and colonel in the U.S. Army Air Corps who helped pioneer aviation at subzero temperatures. He accompanied Richard E. Byrd as an aerial photographer on his expedition to the South Pole.

Early career
McKinley joined Battery A of the Missouri National Guard on June 21, 1916, and served on the Mexican Border until December 21 of the same year. Following the United States' entry into the First World War, he enlisted in the United States Army Signal Corps on August 7, 1917, and became a dirigible pilot. He was commissioned as a 1st lieutenant in the Officer's Reserve Corps on December 7, 1917, to date from November 27. He was placed on active duty on December 16, 1917.

During World War I, he commanded a balloon observation company. He later taught aerial photography and surveying. He was promoted to the rank of captain on November 20, 1918, shortly after the armistice.

Interwar period
Due to the post war draw down, McKinley's appointment as captain was vacated and he was made a 2nd lieutenant in the Army Air Service on September 21, 1920 (to rank from July 1, 1920). He was promoted to 1st lieutenant on April 12, 1921.

On April 3, 1926, McKinley resigned from the Army to begin an aerial surveying and photography service. In 1928–1929, he was a photographer for the Byrd Antarctic Expedition. He was one of four men (along with Richard Byrd, Bernt Balchen and Harold June) aboard the first aircraft to fly over the South Pole on November 29, 1929. He was decorated with the Distinguished Flying Cross by Secretary of War Patrick J. Hurley on July 9, 1930.

World War II
In 1941, as the United States prepared to enter the Second World War, McKinley rejoined the Army Air Corps as a major. He was in charge of the cold-weather operations of the Army Air Force at Ladd Field in Fairbanks, Alaska. McKinley was the first person to suggest that U.S. aircraft be constructed to operate in subzero temperatures and that the Air Force should build a facility to test aircraft in subzero temperatures. He was transferred to Eglin Field for the construction of the facility. He had risen to the rank of colonel by the war's end in 1945.

Post war
McKinley transferred from the Army to the newly created United States Air Force in 1947. He served in Korea in 1951 during the Korean War with the rank of colonel.

Retirement
After retiring from the Air Force as a colonel on June 30, 1956, McKinley worked as a civilian consultant to Admiral Richard Byrd.

In 1959 he became a member of the Florida Society of the Sons of the American Revolution.

Colonel McKinley died in Florida and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

Legacy
In June 1971, the McKinley Climatic Laboratory at Eglin Air Force Base was named in his honor.

Classic Gold GEM

Solid Gold GEM AM (later Classic Gold GEM-AM) was an Independent Local Radio station, broadcasting to much of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Rutland and East Staffordshire from studios in Nottingham, and later Dunstable, Bedfordshire.

The station ran as Solid Gold GEM AM until the mid-1990s when it was absorbed into the rest of the Classic Gold network, and was replaced on 3 August 2007 by a new network called simply Gold. The result of the merger of the Classic Gold and Capital Gold networks under one owner, GCap Media. The GEM name has since re-emerged with the launch of the internet station Solid Gold Gem AM in 2012.

History
The station began as GEM-AM in 1988 (the letters GEM standing for Great East Midlands). It was one of the most well-regarded gold-formatted stations to come to the British airwaves in the late 1980s and was launched as a response to government disapproval of the simulcasting of radio companies' FM programming on their mediumwave frequencies. GEM was the offshoot of Radio Trent, which began to cater for a younger audience and became known as Trent FM upon the frequency split, and the new AM service was launched to much fanfare with a team of Olympic style runners completing a marathon from Leicester to Derby and finally to Nottingham (the three main areas to which GEM was to broadcast).

GEM's medium wave broadcasts to Nottinghamshire on 999 kHz and Derbyshire on 945 kHz were initially supplemented by transmissions on 1260 kHz to Leicestershire, but in 1992 this last frequency was given over to programming for Leicester's large Asian population (Sunrise Radio, later Sabras Radio).

In 1994 GEM's owners Midland Radio plc were bought, by expanding radio company GWR, which gradually networked the station's programming with that of other gold stations it had purchased elsewhere in the country. The station was subtly rebranded Classic Gold GEM and over time, it became more Classic Gold and less GEM, until only four hours of local programming was left.

By the end of the 1990s, Classic Gold GEM and GWR's network of other medium wave Classic Gold stations across the country were sold to media company UBC, in order for GWR to comply with government rules of the time, restricting how much share of listening one company could own. This and the other stations in the group became known as Classic Gold Digital Network.

Former Radio 1 presenter Tony Blackburn co-presented a national breakfast show on the network until 2007.

Presentation
Presenters on the station included some who were already established personalities in the East Midlands region. Among them were John Peters (who launched the station as he had done with Trent in 1975). In the late 1980s a new South Asian programme hosted by DJ Magnam brought extra listenership to GEM-AM from the large South Asian community that lived in Derby and Nottingham. A number of the original presenters were later to be heard on a newer oldies and easy listening station broadcasting to the East Midlands, this time on Saga 106.6 FM, which came on air in 2003, and was later rebranded as 106.6 Smooth Radio after it was acquired by GMG Radio. Many of Saga 106.6 FM's jingles were made by JAM Creative Productions of Dallas, Texas, and Steve England, and made reference to the Great East Midlands. Classic Gold GEM used ident jingles from Manchester company Alfasound, and then PAMS and JAM.

GCap Media and Global Radio
In summer 2007, when ownership restrictions were relaxed, Classic Gold's original owners, now called GCap Media after a merger, bought the network of stations back from UBC Media Group.

Having two gold networks on its hands, GCap decided to merge them. In early August 2007, the Classic Gold and Capital Gold networks were joined under the new name Gold, and local output declined further.

The station had a 4% audience reach in Nottingham, and 6% in Derby in 2006. In 1993 the reach was 24% in Nottingham, 23% in Derby. (*RAJAR ratings 1993/2006)

The dwindling audience tuning into the station's medium wave frequencies has in recent years been supplemented by those listening to a stream on the internet, and also on DAB Digital Radio in Nottingham and Leicester. The bit rate for this broadcast was reduced in 2006 to accommodate more radio stations to the digital multiplex, but was later increased back to stereo.

After nineteen years broadcasting from the basement 'Studio B' at Radio Trent's Castle Gate headquarters, Classic Gold's Nottingham studios moved, along with Trent's, to the sixth floor of Chapel Quarter, an office building on the corner of Mount Street and Chapel Bar, in January 2007.

Solid Gold Gem AM
November 4, 2012 saw the launch of Solid Gold Gem AM, an internet radio station following the original GEM-AM format. While Solid Gold Gem AM had no connection to the original GEM AM in Nottingham, its line-up featured many of the original presenters including Andy Marriott, Krissi Carpenter, Paul Burbank, Craig Strong, Tim Rogers and Len Groat who was Head of Programmes and Music at the original GEM-AM from 1988 to 1994. A commercial free station, it styles itself as "radio like it used to be". On 27 November 2014, and shortly after the station had celebrated its second anniversary, it was announced that Solid Gold Gem would cease broadcasting from midnight on 30 November. However, a week after its closure, a relaunch was announced for 15 December. The station would also now be managed by Len Groat, and a second station, Serenade Radio, was launched in February 2015. No reason was given for the broadcasting hiatus.

The station has now rebranded to Solid Gold Gem and it broadcasts 24 hours a day without advertising.

Arthur Streeton

Sir Arthur Ernest Streeton (8 April 1867 – 1 September 1943) was an Australian landscape painter and a leading member of the Heidelberg School, also known as Australian Impressionism.

Early life
Streeton was born in Mount Moriac, Victoria, south-west of Geelong, on 8 April 1867, the fourth child of Charles Henry and Mary (née Johnson) Streeton. His family moved to the Melbourne suburb of Richmond in 1874. His parents were English migrants who had met on their voyage to Australia in 1854. In 1882, Streeton commenced art studies with George Folingsby at the National Gallery School.

In 1885, Streeton exhibited works for the first time with the Victorian Academy of Art. He found employment as an apprentice lithographer under Charles Troedel.

Career
During the summer of 1886–87, Streeton, aged nineteen, first befriended Tom Roberts and Frederick McCubbin while painting en plein air at Mentone Beach. The pair greatly admired Streeton's work and invited him to join them at artists' camps they had established in both Mentone and Box Hill. They were later joined by Charles Conder, beginning a two-year period of close creative companionship, and forming the core group of what became known as the Heidelberg School movement, later also called Australian impressionism. Streeton's work rapidly improved during this period, and by 1888 he was widely considered one of Victoria's most gifted young painters.

Streeton was exhibiting and perhaps painting in the studio of his friend Roberts at Grosvenor Chambers, Collins Street by May 1888.

Eaglemont camp, Heidelberg
In the summer drought of 1888, Streeton travelled by train to the attractive agricultural and grazing suburb of Heidelberg, 11 km north-east of Melbourne's city centre. He intended to walk the remaining distance to the site where Louis Buvelot painted his 1866 work Summer afternoon near Templestowe, which Streeton considered "the first fine landscape painted in Victoria". On the return journey to Heidelberg, wet canvas in hand, Streeton met Charles Davies, brother-in-law of friend and fellow plein air painter David Davies. Charles gave him "artistic possession" of an abandoned homestead atop the summit of Mount Eagle estate, offering spectacular views across the Yarra Valley to the Dandenongs. For Streeton, Eaglemont (as it became known) was the ideal working environment—a reasonably isolated rural location accessible by public transport. The house itself could be seen by visitors as they arrived at Heidelberg railway station.

Streeton spent the first few nights at Eaglemont alone with the estate's tenant farmer Jack Whelan (who appears in Streeton's "pioneer" painting The selector's hut (Whelan on the log), 1890 ), and slept upon the floor, the rooms being bare of furniture. Of his first few nights at the house, Streeton said it was "creaking and ghostly. A long dark corridor seemed full of past visions, and out of doors a blurred rich blackness against the sharp brilliance of the Southern Cross ... But tobacco and wine weighed healthily against the darkness". He descended the hill daily to Heidelberg village for meals before jaunting into the bush with a billycan of milk and swag of paints and canvases. The first artists to paint with Streeton at Eaglemont were the National Gallery students Aby Altson and John Llewellyn Jones, followed by John Mather and Walter Withers. Like Streeton, Withers painted from nature amidst suburban bush around Melbourne, employing earthy colours with loose, impressionistic brushstrokes. By the end of 1888, he became a weekend visitor to the camp.

About the same time, Streeton met the artist Charles Conder, who travelled down from Sydney in October 1888 at the invitation of Tom Roberts. One year Streeton's junior, Conder was already a committed plein airist, having been influenced by the painterly techniques of expatriate impressionist Girolamo Nerli. Conder and Roberts joined Streeton at Eaglemont in January 1889 and helped make some modest improvements to the house. Despite austere living conditions, Streeton felt content: "Surrounded by the loveliness of the new landscape, with heat, drought, and flies, and hard pressed for the necessaries of life, we worked hard, and were a happy trio." Streeton and Conder quickly became friends and influenced one another's art. Their shared love of South Australian poet Adam Lindsay Gordon's lyrical verse is revealed in the titles of some of their Eaglemont paintings, including Streeton's romantic gloaming work Above us the great grave sky (1890, taken from Gordon's poem "Doubtful Dreams" ). Later, critics would describe some of the pair's Eaglemont paintings as companion pieces, as both artists often painted the same views and subjects using a high-keyed "gold and blue" palette, which Streeton considered "nature's scheme of colour in Australia".

Two of Streeton's best-known works were painted during this period—Golden Summer, Eaglemont (1889) and Still glides the stream, and shall for ever glide (1890)—each a sunlit pastoral scene of golden-paddocked plains stretching to the distant blue Corhanwarrabul. In 1891, Arthur Merric and Emma Minnie of the Boyd artistic dynasty took Golden Summer, Eaglemont to Europe where it became the first painting by an Australian-born artist to be exhibited at the Royal Academy, London, and was awarded a Mention honourable at the 1892 Paris Salon.

Sydney and travels inland

On 2 June 1890, in the wake of an economic depression in Melbourne, Strreeton sailed to Sydney, and initially stayed there with his sister in the suburb of Summer Hill. He soon relocated to Curlew Camp, a plein air artists' camp on Sydney Harbour, where he painted many views of his natural surroundings and was visited by a number of artists, including Julian Ashton and Albert Henry Fullwood, who stayed at the camp for extended periods. Tom Roberts later joined him also, continuing their artistic friendship. From 1891, Streeton began travelling widely in rural New South Wales. As well as painting scenes of Sydney Harbour and Coogee, and urban scenes of Sydney, it was during the early to mid-1890s that he painted some of his major rural landscapes, including the Hawkesbury River series and ' Fire's on'.

Sydney Harbour inspired many of Streeton's most poetic Symbolist paintings, a number of which infuse the Australian landscape with mythological subjects. The city also spurred his interest in the decorative arts as he painted on fans, furniture, musical instruments and other objects. The influence of Japanese art, such as kakemono (hung scrolls), is evidenced in the extreme vertical formats and compositional elements he favoured around this time.

In 1893, Streeton wrote in Sydney's Daily Telegraph criticising a proposal by a mining company to develop a colliery on the shores of Sydney Harbor, which would necessitate the cutting down of a great many gum trees. His letter, which came to be known as "Streeton's shriek", read in part: "It seems likely that charming Cremorne is to pass away and leave a dismal eyesore ... Where once was youth with their sweethearts in white muslin gathered joyfully for merriment and sport, making Cremorne a happy pastoral, we would have instead a numerous fleet of grimy coal ships, hulks, smoke and darkness."

The letter helped raise public alarm over the proposal, and in 1895, Streeton painted Cremorne pastoral, his largest harbour composition, as "an elegiac image of what [he] believed would be lost" if the project went head. When it went on exhibition later that year, the Art Gallery of New South Wales acquired the work and publicly endorsed Streeton's protests. The government, in the face of mounting backlash, was forced to abandon the mining project. Cremorne pastoral's status as an environmental protest painting is considered groundbreaking in Australian art history.

Overseas and life in England
In 1897 Streeton sailed for London on the Polynesian, stopping at Port Said before continuing on via Cairo and Naples. He held an exhibition at the Royal Academy in 1900 and became a member of the Chelsea Arts Club in 1903. Although he had developed a considerable reputation in Australia, he failed to achieve the same success in England. His trips to London were financed by the sales of his paintings at home in Australia.

His time in England reinforced a strong sense of patriotism towards the British Empire and, like many, anticipated the coming war with Germany with some enthusiasm. In 1906, Streeton returned to Australia and completed some paintings at Mount Macedon in February 1907 while staying with his patrons the Pinschofs at Hohe Warte. These included the notable five feet by three feet Australia Felix (a view from Mt. Toorong) and a number of other smaller paintings. He returned to London in October. Paintings done in Venice in September 1908, including The Grand Canal, were exhibited in Australia in July 1909 as "Arthur Streeton's Venice". In Australia again in April 1914 he held exhibitions in Sydney and Melbourne and went back to England in early 1915.

War artist
Along with other members of the Chelsea Arts Club, including Tom Roberts, he joined the Royal Army Medical Corps (British Army) at the age of 48. He worked at the 3rd London General Hospital in Wandsworth and reached the rank of corporal.

Streeton was made an Australian Official War Artist with the Australian Imperial Force, holding the rank of Honorary Lieutenant, and he travelled to France on 14 May 1918 and was attached to the 2nd Division, receiving his movement order on 8 May 1918. He worked in France, with a break in August, until October 1918. Expected by the Commonwealth to produce sketches and drawings that were "descriptive", Streeton concentrated on the landscape of the scenes of war and did not attempt to convey the human suffering. Unlike the more famous military art depicting the definitive moments of battle, Streeton produced "military still life", capturing the everyday moments of the war. Streeton explained what was at that time an unconventional point of view – a perspective which was based in experience:

True pictures of battlefields are very quiet looking things. There's nothing much to be seen, everybody and thing is hidden and camouflaged.

Two paintings from this period, Villers Bretonneux (1918) and Boulogne (1918), are in the collection of the Art Gallery of New South Wales.

Later years
After the war, Streeton resumed painting in the Grampians and Dandenong Ranges. Streeton built a house on five acres (20,000 m2) at Olinda in the Dandenongs where he continued to paint. He won the Wynne Prize in 1928 with Afternoon Light, Goulburn Valley. He was an art critic for The Argus from 1929 to 1935 and in 1937 was knighted for services to the arts. He married Esther Leonora Clench, a Canadian violinist, in 1908. Streeton died in September 1943. He is buried at Ferntree Gully cemetery.

Legacy
Streeton Drive, a main thoroughfare in Weston Creek is named after Sir Arthur, as is Streeton Primary School, in the Melbourne suburb of Yallambie.

There is also a memorial for Streeton just outside Geelong, Victoria.

In 2008, three expatriate Australian classical musicians living in Geneva, Switzerland founded a piano trio they named the Streeton Trio after the painter.

Streeton's works appear in many major Australian galleries and museums, including the National Gallery of Australia and state galleries, and the Australian War Memorial. In September 2015, Streeton's Coogee clifftop landscape Blue Pacific (1890) became the first painting by an Australian artist, and only the second painting by a Western artist outside Europe, to hang in the permanent collection of the National Gallery, London. It sits alongside major impressionist works by Claude Monet and Édouard Manet.

Prices
Streeton's paintings are amongst the most collectible of Australian artists and attracted high prices during his lifetime. Golden Summer, Eaglemont sold for around 1000 guineas in 1924 and in 1995 it was bought in a private sale by the National Gallery of Australia for A$3.5 million, both times setting a sales record for an Australian painting. In 1985, Settler's Camp sold at auction for A$800,000 and this remained the record auction price for Streeton's work until 23 May 2005, when his 1890 painting, Sunlight Sweet, Coogee, was sold for A$2.04 million (A$1.853 million before tax), becoming only the second painting by an Australian artist to exceed the A$2 million mark at auction (after Frederick McCubbin's 1892 work Bush Idyll, which sold for A$2.3 million in 1998). The painting was part of the Foster's Group collection and was sold at auction by Sotheby's. That record was eclipsed when, on 21 April 2021, Streeton's The Grand Canal (1908) was auctioned in Melbourne for A$3.068 million.

Talk:Clytia

The central premise of this article is incorrect. Clytia/Clytie was not the sister of Leucothoe. Instead, she is an island nymph/goddess and daughter of Oceanus/Tethys. I discovered this article after writing Clytie. Since that article has the genealogy correct, I am going to make this article a redirect to that one. I do understand how "Oceanus" and "Orchamus" are close in spelling, but what we have indicates that Clytia sat alone amid ocean rocks and died, where Leucothoe was buried under desert sands -- not the same family at all. In other places, Clytia is mentioned as one of the daughters of Oceanus and Tethys. Geogre 14:31, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Oliver Napier

Sir Oliver Napier (11 July 1935 – 2 July 2011 ) was the first leader of the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland. In 1974 he served as the first and only Legal Minister and head of the Office of Legal Reform in the Northern Ireland power-sharing executive set up by the Sunningdale Agreement.

Early life
Napier was educated at St. Malachy's College, Belfast and the Queen's University of Belfast before starting work as a solicitor.

Political career
Napier joined the Ulster Liberal Party, rising to become vice president by 1969. That year, he led a group of four party members who joined the New Ulster Movement, accepting the post of joint chairman of its political committee. The Liberal Party promptly expelled him, but, working with Bob Cooper, he used his position to establish a new political party, the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland, which sought to become a political force that could command support from across the divided communities of the province, but remaining pro-union. This aimed to offer an alternative to what Napier described as the sectarianism of the Ulster Unionist Party. Despite his faith he was a supporter of the Union.

He served as the party's joint leader from 1970 until 1972, then as its sole leader from 1973 to 1984. Under his leadership Alliance participated in successive assemblies that sought to solve the debate on the province's position, including the Northern Ireland Assembly, 1973 in which Napier was a minister in the power-sharing Executive. In 1979 he came closer to winning a seat in the Westminster Parliament than any other Alliance candidate up to that point when he was less than a thousand votes behind Peter Robinson's winning total in Belfast East in a tight three-way marginal. This record was beaten in 2010, when Naomi Long ousted Robinson from the same seat. When Napier stepped down as leader in 1984 he received many plaudits for his work. The following year he was knighted and in 1989 he stood down from Belfast City Council, seemingly to retire.

However, in 1995 he returned to the political fray when he contested the North Down by-election for the Alliance, standing again in the 1997 general election.

In 1996 he was elected to the Northern Ireland Peace Forum for North Down.

Prior to his death Oliver Napier was the last prominent member of the Ulster Liberal Party.

Public positions
Napier served on the board of governors of the first integrated school in Northern Ireland, Lagan College.

Seaforth Dock

Seaforth Dock (also known as the Royal Seaforth Dock) is a purpose-built dock and container terminal, on the River Mersey, England, at Seaforth, to the north of Liverpool. As part of the Port of Liverpool and Liverpool Freeport, it is operated by the Mersey Docks and Harbour Company. Situated at the northern end of the dock system, it is connected to Gladstone Dock to the south, which via its lock entrance provides maritime access to Seaforth Dock from the river.

History
Despite planning permission having been obtained almost sixty years previously, work commenced during the 1960s on Liverpool's largest dock facility. In part the work was intended to reconstruct or compensate for damage suffered during World War II. The dock was the largest built in the United Kingdom for some time, with 10000 ft of quay and a depth of 50 ft and world's largest lock gates.

Opened in 1971, the site consists of about 500 acre, of which 85 acre is water. Technological changes, such as containerization, caused the loss of numerous jobs on the docks. In the 21st century, the dock handles mainly containers, oils, timber, fruit and vegetables, grain and animal feed. The dock became a free port in 1984.

A fruit and vegetable terminal opened at the dock in 2008. The terminal primarily received produce from Spain. However, this facility closed in 2013.

Wind turbines
In 1999, Peel Energy installed six Vestas V44-600 kW wind turbines along the river wall for a total nameplate capacity of 3.6MW.

Rail connection
Seaforth Dock is served by one rail line, the Canada Dock branch line. The Olive Mount rail chord at Edge Hill junction was re-opened early 2009 to increase the throughput of the service to Seaforth Dock, giving direct access for freight from the Port of Liverpool to the West Coast Main Line. In May 2016 it was announced that the line's final section into the dock estate would be upgraded to double track from single track to increase capacity to the port. Combined with improved signalling at Earlestown, the improvements will enable up to 48 trains a day to enter the port. Work on the line is expected to be completed by 2019.

Liverpool2
Liverpool2 is a Post-Panamax container terminal extension which opened in November 2016 as an expansion to Seaforth dock.

Maurice Hewlett

Maurice Henry Hewlett (1861 – 15 June 1923) was an English historical novelist, poet and essayist.

Biography
He was born at Weybridge, the eldest son of Henry Gay Hewlett, of Shaw Hall, Addington, Kent. He was educated at the London International College, Spring Grove, Isleworth, and was called to the bar in 1891. He gave up the law after the success of The Forest Lovers. From 1896 to 1901 he was Keeper of Lands, Revenues, Records and Enrolments, a government post as adviser on matters of medieval law.

Hewlett married Hilda Beatrice Herbert on 3 January 1888 in St Peter's Church, Vauxhall, where her father was the incumbent vicar. The couple had two children, a daughter, Pia, and a son, Francis, but separated in 1914, partly due to Hilda's increasing interest in aviation. In 1911, Hilda had become the first woman in the UK to gain a pilot's licence.

He settled at Broad Chalke, Wiltshire. His friends included Evelyn Underhill, and Ezra Pound, whom he met at the Poets' Club in London. He was also a friend of J. M. Barrie, who named one of the pirates in Peter Pan "Cecco" after Hewlett's son.

Hewlett's 1900 novel The Life and Death of Richard Yea-and-Nay, about Richard the Lionheart, was a favourite novel of T. E. Lawrence. Lawrence said he had read The Life and Death of Richard Yea-and-Nay several times. Another of Hewlett's historical novels was The Queen's Quair (1904), about Mary, Queen of Scots. The Queen's Quair was cited as an influence by Ford Madox Ford, who said that The Queen's Quair "taught me a good deal". Hewlett also wrote six novels based on the Icelandic Family sagas, these include The Light Heart and Thorgils of Treadholt. Hewlett also wrote The Outlaw (based on Gisli's Saga), A Lover's Tale (based on Kormak's Saga), Frey and His Wife (based on Ogmund Dytt's tale), and Gudred the Fair (based on the Greenland sagas).

Hewlett was parodied by Max Beerbohm in A Christmas Garland in the part titled "Fond Hearts Askew".

Hewlett's brother Henry William Hewlett was also a published novelist, writing under the name William Hewlett.

Maurice Hewlett died in London on 15 June 1923 at age 62.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/European National Socialism

European National Socialism
Reasons for deletion: 1. The article is entirely redundant, given the much better one we have on Nazism. 2. Written in very bad English (this factor on its own would only be reason for cleanup, but it supports the argument for deletion). 3. Original work and virtually 100% POV. The article describes one person's opinion on the history and development of "national socialism", an opinion which is not supported by any major historian.
 * Delete I don't agree with anon's objection 1 (Nazism just describes Nazism in Germany and there must be a place for a wider discussion of it, or with 2 (which anon agrees isn't a reason for deletion. On objection 3, POV isn't a reason for deletion either. But I do agree with the bit of objection 3 that it appears to be original work - and absent evidence to the contrary, I vote delete for this reason. Jongarrettuk 16:03, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep-ish, but cleanup. I'd like to see some alternatives to Nazism, let's see how this develops before we vote on it. Worst case : move to Talk:Nazism/European National Socialism while people edit it for now. Kim Bruning 13:44, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep, probably rename. We need an article on the topic of Nazi parties outside of Germany although this one is in serious need of NPOV-ification. Put it on the cleanup list & notify the usual editors of Nazism & let them have at it. I'm not saying this is going to be easy. Wile E. Heresiarch 14:37, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * semi-keep, but I could be convinced. I don't think the redundancy is with Naziism, but rather with Fascism, which contains a long list of other Fascist regimes; it may be that more needs to be said about these brief entries. --jpgordon 15:57, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, original research, redundant with Fascism. --Improv 21:45, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Couldn't bring myself to read it closely. Looks to me like we should move it to somewhere subordinate to Talk:Fascism with a link from Talk:Fascism and a suggestion to "mine" it, but it doesn't look to me like a useful article in its own right. -- Jmabel 01:06, Oct 6, 2004 (UTC)
 * Support moving to a subpage of a talk page and figuring out whats not redundant. — siro  χ  o  06:03, Oct 6, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, original research - there is something useful here, struggling to get out, but I don't think it will make it. Start again! --Cje 09:40, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. The title is mis-leading and the premise is wrong. It tries to create a historical "National Socialist" movement, even though groups using that term had no commonalities or intellectual currency with each other. It produces many factual errors and distortions by trying to make history fit in with its POV. It conflates parties and groups that called themselves "National" in the sense of "nationwide", with those that were actually "nationalist". It isn't even an account of different uses of the term "National Socialism" - it's different terms which have been translated into English as "National Socialism", often obscuring specific meanings of words. -- Gregg 21:50, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. What's worth keeping is derivative of the National Socialism and fascism articles .AndyL 00:09, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Anon Comment: There are already two existing articles which disambiguate the various uses of the term outside of Germany, both of the Nazi type and of other types: National Socialist Party and National Socialism (disambiguation).

Talk:Vehicle registration plates of Japan

mistakes
Given the several mistakes in the artist's representation -- compare the real thing at this site, might it not be a good idea to attempt a new version? Would try it myself, except that I haven't yet learnt how to upload images here :-(  -- Picapica 14:47, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Hi Pica² and thanks for your comments on the image. I can't believe I forgot the hyphen! I know how it happened, but overlooking it so many times, that's incredible. Glad you pointed it out. The image now has a hyphen, and I reduced the size of the hiragana. However, I intentionally kept the color a mismatch to the hiragana, so that nobody can claim we're using their plate without permission. (In Japan, the news media often blur out number plates to avoid such claims.)

If the old image still appears on your screen, you can try (1) Reload; (2) Clear the cache and reload again; (3) Edit the article, change the image size (e.g. to 251 px) and click on Show preview. I look forward to any comments you have about the new one.

And of course if you want to draw your own, or upload a public-domain photo, please feel free --- this is Wikipedia, so I don't own the article.

Thanks once again for calling my attention to the error. Fg2 09:09, Oct 4, 2004 (UTC)

 * Nice one, Fg2! If I were going to be picky, I'd say make the hyphen shorter, though (see here). Now we just need to get the Japanese to change the image on their page! -- Picapica 12:42, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * P.S. Notice how the version issued for foreign travel (though I can't imagine many Japanese take their cars abroad) -- www.olavsplates.com/foto/j_tkt33mi5265_rear.jpg -- doesn't have a hyphen... ;-) -- Picapica 12:50, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * That's funny! Fg2 08:18, Oct 6, 2004 (UTC)

More Plate Images
I have created on the German version Kfz-Kennzeichen (Japan) all the registration plate versions. Feel free to use them also on the English version w:de:User:ThorstenS -213.42.2.26 07:04, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Thanks! You made it easy.

Display question
I've taken the liberty of amending the "other languages" links on & to point to Kfz-Kennzeichen (Japan) and to this article (they formerly pointed to the general KFZ-Kennzeichen and License plate pages).

What I can't work out is why, on License plate and &, the "old" image still displays, despite the fact that if you click on it you are taken to a page giving details of, and showing, the updated image. Would this be a browser problem at my end? -- the totally untechie Picapica 10:07, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * I don't know either, but to cope with it, I add or subtract a pixel from the image size, and it works fine. I changed it from 250 to 251, and as a result, it displays correctly for me. Take a look and see if it displays right for you. Fg2 10:20, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)

How odd! The critical dimension on License plate, where it is a "thumb", appears to be 180/181px, and now that I have changed it to the larger figure the image is displaying correctly. Cheers. -- Picapica 11:26, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I have alphabetized the list of Land Transportation Offices. I realize that the original list (for which, vielen Dank, ThorstenS) was in N-S geographical order, but I thought that alphabetical order would probably be better for research purposes. I have also changed Adachi to Tama as the issuing office in the main text, to accord with the revised illustration. - Picapica 20:58, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

LTOs: I have changed "Shonai" (which does not have a Wikipedia entry) in Yamagata Prefecture to Mikawa, since according to the Japanese article that is where code 庄内 is issued. As far as I have been able to make out, Shonai is the name of a "local core area" in Yamagata Prefecture covering a number of municipalities of which Mikawa is one. Clarification is welcome if I've totally got hold of the wrong end of the stick! -- Picapica 22:02, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Prefectures are divided into pieces for non-governmental purposes such as weather forecasting (that's just one example). These can be different from the districts, and different from the old han etc. Mikawa is in the Shonai piece, even though it's not on the Shonai Plain. The map in the Japanese Wikipedia shows it as being the coastal piece. Lots of other links in this list should be made more precise—prefectures to prefectures and cities to cities. I hope to get to work on that over the weekend... But if you like, have at it! Fg2 22:59, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)

Move
I moved the page to "Japanese license plates". Spelling in accordance with content of the article. SpNeo 08:28, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

Meaning of "licence series"
Could somebody explain what exactly "series" in the sentence  The number on the top line begins with a "5" or a "3" to indicate the series. means? I take care if the German wikipedia article and I like to clear the questions marks there. Thanks. -ThorstenS 07:10, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Hi ThorstenS, The series are groups of numbers. The 3-series is for large passenger cars. In the 3-series, the number on the top line will begin with a 3. Thus, if the top number is 3, 33, 300, 330 or any other number, the plate is a 3-series and it's appropriate for a large passenger car. The 5-series includes top-line numbers of 5, 56, 500, etc. Plates with that top number are ordinary-size passenger cars. There are other series as well. In any series, the bottom number (the one that appears big on the plate) can be anywhere from 1 to 9999. I hope that helps clear up the issue. I made the change because a reader asked in English on the Japanese Wikipedia article, and I realized that in the English article I hadn't mentioned the connection between series and the number. Please ask again if you have more questions. Fg2 09:03, May 29, 2005 (UTC)

US Military Personally Owned Vehicles
I've added a sentence stating what the plates for personal vehicles owned by people in the US Military are (at least that I have seen through observation here). If there are any questions, ask me. (I live in Okinawa, and one of the plates on a van my family owns is 沖縄300Y3276 [if I recall correctly] if that helps.) CJewell [[User_talk:CJewell|(talk)]] 02:45, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Importance of place of registration
Is the place of registration part of the actual registration of the car? I have noticed the government records here in Ireland of a friend's car imported from Japan omits this and only says "599 SO 14-80" as the car's original registration. Is that sufficient or were they just too lazy to look up the kanji? --Zilog Jones 14:02, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
 * More than likely the second explanation, I'd say. The SO would be the romanization of an original そ hiragana appearing on the second line of the original plates as the first part of the serial index. Perhaps they thought that the characters representing the issuing office (which ought to be shown before the vehicle class – in this case, 599) were just some kind of alternative/repeat version of "SO": rather like SLIGEACH at the top of an Irish plate with an index beginning SO..! -- Picapica (talk) 12:33, 13 February 2014 (UTC) (Nearly eight years late in replying, but there you go)

Question
What type of license plate is this ? I can't see any explanation on the page.

79.116.115.230 (talk) 02:58, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Need for cleanup
I just removed the totally hopeless section which was MT from the Japanese page, I think. The whole page is a mess and needs serious cleanup from someone who finds this at least slightly interesting. Sorry, I don't know how to put the appropriate templates on the page. Perhaps someone could add them. Imaginatorium (talk) 07:14, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

Plate sizes
Are you sure about the dimensions of the license plates? I don't have the latest regulation (necessarily), but this is the information regarding the license plate sizes that comes from JIS 5500 (1995), which discusses the measuring of photometric test points on the various license plates. (I would embed a screendump of the relevant JIS 5500 page but I don't know how.)

Measuring points (dimensions from article given in parenthesis):

Large plate: 34 x 12 (44 x 22) Medium plate: 25 x 10 (33 x 16.5) Small plate: 18 x 17 (23 x 12.5) Moped: 12 x 5 (20 x 10)?

Keep in mind these are measuring points interior to the plate. So if you look at the dimensions, the large plate is +10 cm in both length and width (makes sense). The medium plate is +8 L +6.5 W (still roughly the same scale, but not quite). The small plate, though, is nearly square according to JIS 5500, but quite rectangular here.

I actually came to this page to try and find how to figure out which plate should be used, and was surprised by this apparent dimensional mismatch. Any help in elucidating this would be appreciated.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 1 one external link on Vehicle registration plates of Japan. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

Incorrect vehicle type information
The information in the "vehicle class code section", in particular the table copied from www.tigerdude.com, is incorrect. I haven't yet found an authoritative source, but as a resident of Japan, I know firsthand that the three digit type code must be considered in tandem with the plate color -- for example, the 4xx series vehicle class code on a yellow-plate (Kei) car does not mean the vehicle is a truck or van, nor does it mean the vehicle is over 600cc.

It looks to me at first glance like this information applies only to white/green plate (vehicles > 660cc, etc.) vehicles, not yellow/black plate Kei vehicles, but I can't say for sure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.210.165.236 (talk) 00:29, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

Woland

Woland (Воланд) is a fictional character in the novel The Master and Margarita by the Russian (Soviet) author Mikhail Bulgakov, written between 1928 and 1940. Woland is the mysterious foreigner and professor whose visit to Moscow sets the plot rolling and turns the world upside-down.

His demonic entourage, which includes witches, succubi, and a gigantic talking cat, his role in the plot, and the fact that Voland is a (now outdated) German word for a devil or evil spirit, all imply that he is, in fact, the Devil. More controversial interpretations see him as the Apostle Peter (based on Jesus’ remark to Peter, "Get thee behind me, Satan") or even the Second Coming of Christ.

Edward Ericson argues that Woland is essentially "the Satan of orthodox (specifically Russian Orthodox) Christian theology [...] He is both a tempter of men and an unwitting instrument of divine justice, a being who owes his existence and power to the very one he opposes."

In conceiving of Woland, Bulgakov draws heavily from the figure of Mephistopheles in Goethe's Faust, a connection made explicit by the use of an epigraph from the poem at the beginning of the novel. Additionally, the name Woland itself is derived from a name by which Mephistopheles refers to himself during the Walpurgisnacht scene: squire Voland (Junker Voland). Other allusions to Goethe's Mephistopheles include Woland's cane with the head of a poodle and his limp. Another influence on Woland is Charles Gounod's opera Faust.

In adaptations

 * Veniamin Smekhov played him in a Moscow stage adaptation.
 * In the 1972 Italian-Yugoslavian adaptation, Il maestro e Margherita, Woland was played by French actor Alain Cuny.
 * In the 1990 Polish TV series, Mistrz i Malgorzata, Woland was played by Gustaw Holoubek.
 * In the 1994 Russian film adaptation, Woland was played by Valentin Gaft.
 * In the 2005 Russian miniseries adaptation, Woland was played by Oleg Basilashvili.
 * In the 2024 Russian film adaptation, Woland was played by August Diehl.

Quotations

 * "Forgive me, but I don't believe you. That cannot be: manuscripts don't burn." - To the Master

 * "Yes, man is mortal, but that would be only half the trouble. The worst of it is that he's sometimes unexpectedly mortal—there's the trick!" - To Berlioz
