Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/R7 Droids

R7 Droids
Appears to be some kind of Star Wars trivia. I don't mind an article on a starring robot like R2D2 but, according to this article, the R7 Droids were another fictional brand of robots that the hero didn't use.--LeeHunter 01:17, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

No, merge with Emperor Dalek, the Pokemon pantheon, the individual articles on minor characters in obscure anime, and plot outlines of fictional TV hows that appear in episodes of The Simpsons.  Then delete, then dismantle the hard disks they're recorded on, shred the disks, and store in a safe place under the New Mexico desert for at least 10,000 years.  Or until they stop showing "The Making of Attack of the Clones", whichever takes longer. --[[User:Tony Sidaway|Tony Sidaway|Talk]] 04:34, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete A line of droids that appeared in films isn't notable enough for a separate article, let alone ones invented for a role-playing game. DreamGuy 22:21, Dec 17, 2004 (UTC)

List of the 72 names on the Eiffel Tower

On the Eiffel Tower, 72 names of French men (scientists, engineers, and mathematicians) are engraved in recognition of their contributions. Gustave Eiffel chose this "invocation of science" because of his concern over the protests against the tower, and chose names of those who had distinguished themselves since 1789. The engravings are found on the sides of the tower under the first balcony, in letters about 60 cm tall, and were originally painted in gold. The engraving was painted over at the beginning of the 20th century and restored in 1986–87 by Société Nouvelle d'exploitation de la Tour Eiffel, the company that the city of Paris contracts to operate the Tower. The repainting of 2010–11 restored the letters to their original gold colour. There are also names of the engineers who helped build the Tower and design its architecture on a plaque on the top of the Tower, where a laboratory was built as well.

Location
The list is split in four parts (one for each side of the tower). The sides have been named after the parts of Paris that each side faces:
 * The North-East side (also known as La Bourdonnais side)

 * The South-East side (also known as the Military School side)

 * The South-West side (also known as the Grenelle side)

 * The North West side (also known as the Trocadéro side)

Names
In the table below are all the names on the four sides.

Women
The list contains no women. The list has been criticized for excluding the name of Sophie Germain, a noted French mathematician whose work on the theory of elasticity was used in the construction of the tower itself. In 1913, John Augustine Zahm suggested that Germain was excluded because she was a woman.

Hydraulic engineers and scholars
Fourteen hydraulic engineers and scholars are listed on the Eiffel Tower. Eiffel acknowledged most of the leading scientists in the field. Henri Philibert Gaspard Darcy is missing; some of his work did not come into wide use until the 20th century. Also missing are Antoine Chézy, who was less famous; Joseph Valentin Boussinesq, who was early in his career at the time; and mathematician Évariste Galois. Other famous French mathematicians are missing from the list: Joseph Liouville and Charles Hermite.

Talk:Thomas Gottschalk

Untitled
After attending the Humanistisches Gymnasium (Humanistic grammar school) in Kulmbach,....... - When did he go to the "Humanistisches Gymnasium" in Kulmbach? - In 1964 - 1965 I went to the "Staatliche Mittelschule fuer Knaben" in Landshut, and one of the student's name there was Thomas Gottschalk. He looked just like him ( the same distinctive nose!), the age is right, his father also was an attorney! Coincidence? Or what's going on? Does he just not want to be reminded of his time at that school? He wasn't the most shining student there - He was better known for his pranks upon his teachers! He certainly was a lot of fun for his fellow students! I, for once have not forgotten him and his pranks!

Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds

Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds were a 1970s soft rock trio from Los Angeles. The original members were Dan Hamilton (guitar/lead vocal), Joe Frank Carollo (bass/vocal), and Tommy Reynolds (multi-instrumentalist/vocal), all of whom had previously played in The T-Bones, a 1960s band noted for the instrumental hit "No Matter What Shape (Your Stomach's In)."

The group first hit the charts in 1971 with "Don't Pull Your Love." Reynolds left the group in late 1972 and was replaced by keyboardist Alan Dennison, but the band kept the name 'Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds' until 1976. This revised line-up performed the group's biggest hit, 1975's "Fallin' in Love."

New line-up
The T-Bones hit the road in January 1966 to promote their first single "No Matter What Shape (Your Stomach's In)," an instrumental piece based upon a then-popular Alka-Seltzer TV commercial. Dee and Torres quickly decided to leave the band, and were replaced by Tommy Reynolds (who would, in 1969, be the lead singer for Shango) and Joe Frank Carollo. "No Matter What Shape (Your Stomach's In)" reached #3 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in March 1966. This revised version of The T-Bones toured the US and Japan. Their third and final album was not commercially successful and they disbanded near the end of 1967.

Big hit
In 1970, Dunhill Records offered a recording contract to the newly formed 'Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds.' The following year "Don't Pull Your Love," produced by Steve Barri and arranged by Jimmie Haskell, hit #1 on the Cash Box Top 100, peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, sold over one million US copies, and was awarded a gold record by the R.I.A.A. in August 1971. A couple of more singles ("Annabella" and "Daisy Mae") charted, but two Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds albums and several other singles failed to register any significant chart action.

Tommy Reynolds left the group in late 1972. Hamilton and Carollo continued touring with various session musicians, such as Larry Knechtel on keyboards and Joe Correro on drums. However with their lack of success, their contract with Dunhill was cancelled in 1973. With the addition of Alan Dennison and Rick Shull, Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds continued to perform locally.

Name change and later years
In the latter part of 1974, they secured another recording deal with Playboy Records on the proviso that they retain the name Hamilton, Joe Frank, and Reynolds, even though Reynolds had left the group. Within another few months, they released "Fallin' in Love", which reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It also became their second gold disc and their only song to appear in the UK Singles Chart, where it was licensed to Pye Records and reached #33 in the autumn of 1975.

They followed this success with "Winners & Losers", which reached #21 in 1976, but the next releases, "Don't Fight the Hands (That Need You)" and "Everyday Without You", both failed to reach the Top 40. While the band retained their original name on the cover of their Fallin' in Love album, the back cover showcased the more-accurate "Hamilton, Joe Frank & Dennison" name. However, for their second Playboy Records album in 1976, Love & Conversation, the band officially changed their name to "Hamilton, Joe Frank & Dennison". In 1980, they once again disbanded, this time permanently.

Hamilton continued to write and publish songs, and also wrote and recorded a couple of film themes. In the winter of 1993, Hamilton became seriously ill and was eventually diagnosed as suffering from Cushing's syndrome. He died in Los Angeles on December 23, 1994, at the age of 48.

Pop culture
In an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000—Number 97, Season Five, Episode Two—the characters jokingly discussed how difficult it is for the average person to determine exactly how many people were in the group. Without seeing the name written down, one could assume it was a quartet ("Hamilton," "Joe," "Frank," and "Reynolds"), a duo ("Hamilton Joe Frank" and "Reynolds"), a trio (consisting instead of "Hamilton Joe," "Frank," and "Reynolds"), or even a quintet ("Hamilton," "Joe," "Frank," "Ann," "Reynolds").

"Don't Pull Your Love" was featured at the beginning of The West Wing episode "In the Shadow of 2 Gunmen Part II." The song was also heard in the movie When Harry Met Sally.... It was also featured in the 2017 DC animated feature Batman and Harley Quinn. "Fallin' in Love" appeared in the 2007 film The Hitcher.

A running joke from radio personality Dan Ingram, while a deejay at WABC AM, involved introducing the group as "Hamilton, Joe, Frank Reynolds and the entire Eyewitness News team," a reference to the band and a nod to ABC news anchor Frank Reynolds during his tenure as co-anchor of World News Tonight.

elegance
Concerning the proposal for deletion of 1111111111, you wrote:

 * How is this less notable than (random pick): A simple proof that 22/7 exceeds pi.

I'm surprised. The proof that 22/7 exceeds pi is very elegant. "1111111111" on the other hand, has an enormous amount of arbitraryness in it, in the choice of a base-10 numeral system, in the design of the system of units of measurement of time, in historical accidents, etc. 22/7 is an early convergent in the simple continued fraction expansion of π, and is thus a very natural non-arbitrary thing to consider, and the simplicity and the elegant pattern in the integrals involved does not result from arbitrary human choices. If I had to judge you on this comment alone, I'd have to say you're an uncouth Philistine. Michael Hardy 20:00, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

Lake Cushman

Lake Cushman is a 4014.6 acre lake and reservoir on the north fork of the Skokomish River in Mason County, Washington. The lake originally was a long narrow broadening of the Skokomish River formed in a glacial trough and dammed by a terminal moraine from the Vashon Glaciation during the most recent ice age.

The lake was expanded after construction of the Cushman Dam No. 1. The lake is maintained by this dam and provides electrical power to the Tacoma Power system.

As a popular retreat for hiking, fishing, boating and kayaking, Lake Cushman's shoreline is dotted with resorts and rental cabins. The lake is notable for its beautiful crystal clear blue water and the huge round rocks surrounding it, as well as thick stands of hemlock, fir and cedar trees.

Name
The Twana call Lake Cushman, as well as Mount Washington, a nearby mountain,.

Lake Cushman was named in honor of Orrington Cushman, who served as interpreter for Governor Isaac Stevens during the Treaty of Point Elliott negotiations with the Indigenous peoples of Puget Sound in 1854.

Geography

Lake Cushman sits at 739 ft above sea level and its maximum depth reaches up to 115 ft. It is estimated to be around 10 mi in length. The northern part of the lake (FS-24) is near the Staircase Entrance to Olympic National Park. The closest city is Hoodsport, located 5 mi to the southeast via State Route 119. Surrounding the lake are Mount Ellinor, Mount Washington, Cub Peak, Mount Gladys, and Mount Rose. Access to Lake Cushman is limited during the winter months due to road closures and hazardous conditions. In an average winter, the lake water level drops by 30 ft.

History

The Skokomish people, a subgroup of the Twana, have inhabited Lake Cushman and the surrounding land since time immemorial. There was a village of the Skokomish near what is now Skokomish Park, which was, prior to the construction of the dam, the furthest south extent of the lake.

In 1889, the Antlers Hotel was built on Lake Cushman by a pair of East Coast businessmen on the property of Russell Homan. It attracted tourists from the Seattle area, who would arrive at Hoodsport by steamship and continue onward to Lake Cushman via stagecoach. The two-story hotel was destroyed in 1925 after it was inundated by rising lake waters following the construction of the Cushman Dam No. 1 by the City of Tacoma. After the property was flooded, many have attempted to search for the remains of the hotel under the lake.

2020 traffic jam incident
In August 2020, the U.S. Forest Service temporarily closed all public roads leading to Lake Cushman due to concerns of overcrowding amid the COVID-19 pandemic. A 6 mi weekend traffic jam on the lake's primary two-lane, unpaved road had caused concerns about access for emergency vehicles, including an incident where one man died of drowning. The Forest Service also cited the congregation of people as being a potential vector for spreading COVID-19 and noted several fights, assaults, and other incidents.

Hiking
The Lake Cushman area offers access to multiple hiking trails:

 * Big Creek Campground Trail #827
 * Big Creek Trailhead
 * Big Creek Upper Loop #827.1
 * Copper Creek Trail #876
 * Copper Creep Trailhead
 * Dry Creek East Trailhead
 * Dry Creek Trail #872
 * Jefferson Pass Trailhead
 * Mt. Ellinor Connector Trail #827.2
 * Mt. Ellinor Lower Trailhead
 * Mt. Ellinor Trail #812
 * Mt. Ellinor Upper Trailhead

Fishing

Lake Cushman has year-round open season fishing and is stocked with Kokanee salmon and Cutthroat trout. Skokomish Park is fitted with a boat ramp with three paved ramps that allows access to the lake for a small day-use fee. Boat rentals are also available at the park.

Swimming and watersports
Swimming, boating, kayaking and cliff jumping are also among the most popular activities for Lake Cushman visitors. Public access to the lake is available at Skokomish Park and Lake Cushman Resort.

Lodging
The Skokomish Park campground is a former state park that was sold to private operators in 2002. The campground includes tent and RV campsites, group campsites and picnic areas. Further away from the lake are Big Creek Campground in Olympic National Forest and Staircase Campground in Olympic National Park. Big Creek offers tent sites and RV parking and is situated 8 mi from the lake. Staircase is 1 mi from Lake Cushman and offers 47 camping sites.

The Lake Cushman Resort was permanently closed in 2018 due to the expiration of its 50-year lease with Tacoma Public Utilities.

Spring framework background
I think the Spring framework article needs some work. The creators of Spring (Rod Johnson/Juergen Hoeller/others) could be discussed as they have made significant contributions to and are highly recognized within the Java enterprise community, largely through merit.

Also, the topics addresses by and concequences of the rise of the Spring framework are very broad. For example, for many Java development projects Spring can replace an EJB container completely. Discussing some of these issues could offer a better understanding of the Spring framework.

some of this text is copyrighted and lifted from http://www.springframework.org/about

Biased
This article sounds like it's from a promotional flyer ... I came here to learn about Spring, not get a sales pitch.

Needs complete rewrite
This appears to be written as a promotional sales pitch with the target audience being managers. It would be much more approative for an article about a framework to be written with the target audience being lead developers. Compare and contrast with alternative frameworks. Examples of these containers are HiveMind, PicoContainer and Excalibur.

Starting complete rewrite
Since most readers are unsatisfied with the current article and there are so many things to talk about I'll start an effort to completely rewrite the article. The only way to do this is to completely remove the current content and start over. I understand readers may experience this a disruptive but hopefully I'll end up with a good introduction that can replace the current article and that can later be extended. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Devijvers (talk • contribs).

spring framework (Java)
there seems to be a duplicate article with far more information at spring framework (Java)
 * Yes, I've started a rewrite of the Spring Framework article. Since there's also a Spring.NET framework I've titled it Spring Framework (Java). However, this article still needs work. Anyone who wants to participate please feel free to do so. Proof-reading and criticism are very welcome. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.201.47.27 (talk • contribs) on 11 June 2006

Saint Mary's University of Minnesota

Saint Mary's University of Minnesota (SMUMN) is a private Catholic university with an undergraduate residential college in Winona, Minnesota; graduate and professional programs in Winona, the Twin Cities, and Rochester; and course delivery sites in Minnesota and Wisconsin as well as Jamaica. The institution was founded in 1912 and is associated with the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, also known as the De La Salle Brothers.

History
Bishop Patrick Richard Heffron founded Saint Mary's College in 1912, a men's college operated by the Winona Diocese. Heffron Hall, a residential hall was built in 1920, and named after Bishop Heffron. By 1925 it became a four-year liberal arts college. In 1933, it was taken over by the De La Salle Christian Brothers, a religious order whose main charism is teaching. It became a co-educational university in 1969 and later purchased the campus and buildings of the former College of Saint Teresa, a women's college in Winona that ceased operations in 1989. In recent years, portions of the Saint Teresa campus were sold to Winona State University and Winona Cotter High School.

During the 1980s the main Winona campus underwent vigorous growth. Constructed during this decade were the Ice Arena (1986), Performance Center, including Figliulo Recital Hall and Joseph Page Theatre (1987), Brother Charles Hall science addition (1987), Gilmore Creek Residence (1989), and Christian Brothers Residence (1989). More recent additions include McEnery Center (1993), Gostomski Fieldhouse and Jul Gernes Pool (1994), pedestrian plaza (1994), Pines Hall residence (1995), Hendrickson Center (1996), The Heights (1997), Oscar and Mary Jane Straub Clocktower and Court (1999), Hillside Hall residence (2001), ice arena addition (2004) a soccer field / track complex in 2008, Brother Leopold Hall (2012, which includes an outdoor recreation center donated by the Winona ski club), and the new freshmen residence hall Brother William completed in 2019. During the summer of 2021, the old Adducci science building was renovated and renamed Aquinas Hall, which includes a brand new facility for the University's nursing program.

Beginning in 1985, then-president Brother Louis DeThomasis launched a series of new, non-traditional graduate and professional programs. The Schools of Graduate and Professional Programs, using a variety of course delivery methods and locations, is now one of Minnesota's largest graduate schools. SGPP programs are delivered at the Twin Cities campus, Rochester center, Apple Valley center, Minnetonka center, Oakdale center, and at locations around Minnesota and Wisconsin. The university has a partnership with Catholic College of Mandeville, Jamaica. In 2011, the Twin Cities campus added Harrington Mansion and Saint Mary's Event Center to its expanding facilities on Park Avenue in Minneapolis.

In 1995, Saint Mary's College was renamed Saint Mary's University of Minnesota to reflect the expanded role of graduate and professional programming, and to distinguish Saint Mary's from schools with similar names.

Academics
Saint Mary's University offers a wide range of degrees. The university offers bachelor's, master's, and doctorate degrees for both traditional and non-traditional students. In addition to the degrees, Saint Mary's also offers teaching licensures, certifications, and pre-professional programs. Both undergraduate and graduate programs offer online learning. Men study for the priesthood at the adjacent Immaculate Heart of Mary Seminary, owned and operated by the Diocese of Winona.

Changes in 2022
Due to financial difficulties and low undergraduate enrollment, in May 2022, the university announced plans to phase out 11 majors including, English, history, theatre, music, art, and theology. The president of the university, James P. Burns, said about the decision, "...In particular, what we looked at is the majors that we are phasing out are those that really were low enrolled and also didn't hold great promise in terms of what many families and students want, which is marketable skills and jobs after college."

Athletics
The university's sports teams are nicknamed the Cardinals (previously the Redmen until 1988) and compete as a member of the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC). There are 21 NCAA Division III varsity sports teams at Saint Mary's. The Saint Mary's fastpitch softball team won the 2000 NCAA Division III National Title. That title was the university's first and so far only national team title. In 1955, the college administration elected to discontinue football as a sport at the university. A task force was formed in 2005 to study the feasibility of adding football, but the proposal was rejected in 2006 by a unanimous vote of the board of trustees.

There is an on-campus cross country ski and running trail in the bluffs and valleys of the 450-acre campus. Athletic facilities are being renovated and expanded. Upgrades were recently made to basketball, baseball and softball. A challenging disc golf course was installed in the bluffs and valleys around campus in 2007. A state-of-the-art outdoor track and soccer complex, and a high-and-low ropes course, were added in 2008. Snowmaking equipment for the trails was recently donated by the Winona ski club.

Saint Mary's has long had a friendly crosstown rivalry in non-conference athletics with NCAA Division II member Winona State University, which is the regional public university that is part of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system.

Papaflessas

Grigorios Dimitrios Dikaios-Flessas (Γρηγόριος Δημήτριος Δικαίος-Φλέσσας; 1788 – 25 May 1825), popularly known as Papaflessas (Παπαφλέσσας) was a Greek priest and government official who became one of the most influential figures during the Greek War of Independence. The prefix papa- (παπα-) in the name Papaflessas indicates his status as a cleric since the word means 'priest' in Greek. He was appointed Archimandrite in 1819. He served as Minister of Internal Affairs and Chief of Police in the government of Alexander Mavrokordatos. Papaflessas was killed during the Battle of Maniaki on May 20, 1825, fighting against the forces of Ibrahim Pasha at Maniaki, Messinia.

Name
Georgios Dimitrios Dikaios-Flessas was his birth name. His monastic name was Grigorios Flessas (Γρηγόριος Φλέσσας, Grigórios Flessas) or Papaflessas, while the pseudonym he used later in his life was Grigorios Papaflessas (Γρηγόριος Παπαφλέσσας).

Early life
Grigorios Papaflessas was born Georgios Flessas or Flesias (Φλέσιας) in 1788 in the village of Poliani in Messinia. His father was Demetrios G. Flessas (Δημήτριος Φλέσσας), son of the klepht Georgios Dimitriou Flessas (Γεώργιος Δημητρίου Φλέσσας), and his mother, the second wife of Dimitrios, was Konstantina Andronaiou (Κωνσταντίνα Ἀνδροναίου) from Dimitsana. He was the 28th child of the Dimitrios family. In 1809, he attended school at the renowned school of Dimitsana, from whence many Greek national heroes graduated. While in school, he published a satire and pinned it on the door of Dimitsana Pasha (the Turkish local governor at the time) signing it "Grigorios Phos Kalamios" (Φῶς Καλάμιος τό νομα Γρηγόριος). Realizing he was in danger from his action he was sent in 1815 to become a priest or monk, taking the ecclesiastical name of Gregorios Flessas or Papaflessas. For a short time, he served in this capacity in the monastery of Velanidia, situated outside of the city of Kalamata, Messinia.

Clergy
Grigorios was argumentative and defiant by nature and frequently at odds with his ecclesiastical superiors. Further, he was angry toward the Ottoman Turks because they had killed his family members. He also blessed a marriage of Mr. Zervas to his niece who was engaged to another man. He was asked to leave the monastery of Velanidia.

In April 1816, he moved to the monastery of Rekitsa (Ρεκίτσα), located between Leontari and Mystras. He soon argued with his superiors and the monastery's administration. He also came into conflict with a local Turkish authority over the boundaries of the monastery property and even used armed men to protect his claims. This eventually was settled by court in Tripolitsa with the court finding in Papaflessas' and the monastery's favour. This angered the Turkish official who told the authorities that Papaflessas was a revolutionary and was arming the ragiades ('slaves', as the Turks used to call Greeks) against the Turks. The Tripolitsa authorities sentenced Papaflessas to death and sent soldiers to the monastery to arrest and execute him. Armed Poliani fighters delayed the soldiers and Papaflessas was able to leave his homeland, saying as he did so that he would return either a bishop or a pasha and deal with them.

Papaflessas went to the island of Zakynthos, a haven for Greeks from the mainland who were under death sentence by the Turks. There he met fellow Greek future revolutionist Theodoros Kolokotronis. He obtained a reference letter from the Archbishop of Christianoupolis (Arcadia Kyparissia). While traveling by sea to Constantinople, Papaflessas was shipwrecked on Mount Athos during which the seal on his letter of recommendation broke. Reading the letter he was surprised to find that it called him dishonest, immoral and untrustworthy, causing him to discard the letter.

He arrived in Constantinople with the goal of studying Ancient Greek and theology and to become an archbishop in the patriarchy of Agia Sofia. While studying Greek and the Periklis harangue, he also started meeting prominent "patriots". Because he was under death sentence by the Turks, and due to his reputation from Peloponnisos, he used the name Dikaios. He soon joined the secret organization Filiki Eteria with the code name Armodios (A. M.), Ἁρμόδιος, and the number five (5).

In 1819, Gregorios was ordained to the highest priesthood position, archimandrite, a rank next to bishop, by Patriarch Gregorios V of Constantinople and he was given the ecclesiastical "officio of Dikaios" (the Ecumenical Patriarch's representative), in order to be able to move freely in the Moldovlachia area and not to be bothered by the Turks. Papaflessas was sent to the northern part of the Ottoman Empire to inspire and spread hope among his countrymen for the nation's independence from the Turks.

Action in Resistance
Returning to Constantinople from his successful mission, Papaflessas again came to the attention of the Turkish authorities and had to flee. At the end of 1820, he sailed to Aivali of Asia Minor and catechised all scholars of the Big School (as it was called there) while awaiting the arrival of war supplies from Smyrna. From Smyrna he received military supplies and the assurance of additional ammunition if needed.

Papaflessas traveled to several areas seeking support for a revolution against the Ottoman Empire. At the Saint George monastery he called a meeting of Greek authorities and high priests to discuss if the time was right to start the a revolution. After heated arguments the meeting was postponed for a later time in the monastery of Agia Lavra.

In January 1821 meetings took place with Papaflessas recounting his supplies and assurances of support coming from Russia. Concerns about the practicalities of war and the uncertainty of the promises of military support led the other participants to propose to secretly jail Flessas in the monastery of Agia Lavra in order to avoid problems for the nation. But Papaflessas had armed supporters and no one dared arrest him. The synod decided to get further information and the opinion of neighbouring countries before starting a revolution.

Flessas' problem was with the upper class (landowners) in the villages and municipalities, including the top echelon of the clergy, who did not trust Papaflessas, and his mission was received with a great deal of scepticism and fear. He felt safer to first approach farmers and peasants, and the poor class of people who were easily magnetized by his speeches looked upon him as the messiah of their freedom.

After the meeting he went to Kalavryta and met with Nikolaos Souliotis and Asimakis Skaltsas in order for them to write a letter in the first ten days of March 1821 to Oikonomos Eliopoulos. Then he retreated to Kalyvia Kalamata waiting for news from Souliotis and Skaltsas and the arrival in Almyros, a small port near Kalamata, of the boat with the war supplies. From Kalyvia he went secretly to Gardikion (now Amfeia) near his hometown Poliani and learned that the small boat of Mexis Poriotis arrived in Almyros. Papaflessas immediately called his brothers and Nikitas Flessa, the oldest brother, received the ammunitions.

In March 1821, he received news the ship with military supplies had arrived. He gathered about 400 men with mules and donkeys from the Poliani area and went to Almyros Kalamata. In order to unload the boat they had to have the authorization of the area's harbourmaster, the famous Mavromichalis, who was in the pay of the Turks' security force. The harbourmaster demanded a large bribe to cover up what the Greeks were unloading.

Papaflessas sent 45,000 grosia to Mavromichalis who accepted it but still did not sign the proper papers. He wanted half of the supplies in the boat to have them as reserves to fight the Greeks when they started the revolution against the Turks. This was agreed to and the supplies were transported to the monastery of Velanidia, where Papaflessas served as a monk, summoning prominent kleftes, chieftains from the area. By purpose or accident some of the gunpowder was dropped at a local well and the next day the stablemen of the local pasha found and reported it. The pasha summoned all the prominent Greeks and clergy from the Kalamata area and jailed them.

Papaflessas arranged his men to cover various strategic positions in the area. When a Turkish sympathizer tried to leave the city he was killed, starting the war of Independence on March 21, 1821. In Mani a gathering of the captains of the rebels had decided to start the revolution on March 25, 1821, but received news on the 22nd that the fighting had already begun. The Greek War of Independence officially started on March 25, 1821, and brought a great change to the church of the free kingdom. The clergy had taken a leading part in the revolution.

Papaflessas during the Revolution (1821–1825)
In 1823, Papaflessas was named the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Chief of Police by the government of Prince Alexander Mavrokordato under the name Gregorios Dikaios, the name he had when he was in Filiki Etairia. He instituted many reforms, established the mail system and built schools in various towns. He created the title of Inspector General for schools and he was the first to establish a political conviction certificate to be given to the friends of the government. He took part in many battles against the Turks and he sided with the government when the civil war started in 1824. He took part in the campaign in Messinia and the rest of the Peloponnese to suppress the rebels against the Government. During the civil war, he was initially on Theodoros Kolokotronis' side, but later switched sides due to his personal ambitions.

The fight against Ibrahim

When Ibrahim Pasha invaded the Peloponnese in 1825 (with an army consisting mostly of Egyptians), Papaflessas was still Minister of Internal Affairs. Realizing the great danger the nation was facing with the Ibrahim's invasion, he demanded the government grant amnesty to Kolokotronis and other political prisoners. This demand was refused and he appeared before the executive branch and parliament to tell them he would go to Messinia alone to organize a resistance against Ibrahim, determined to return victorious or die in the battlefield.

George Finlay writes in his book, “The archimandrite Daikaios (Pappa Phlessas) was still Minister of the Interior. He was the most unprincipled man of the party of the Moreot chiefs. The universal indignation now expressed at his conducts convinced him that it would be dangerous for him to remain in Nauplia, where his licentious life and gross peculation pointed him out as the first object of popular vengeance, and the scapegoat for the sins of his colleagues. The archimandrite was destitute of private virtue and political honesty, but he was a man of activity and courage. Perhaps too, at this decisive moment a sense of shame urged him to cancel his previous misdeeds by an act of patriotism. He asked permission of the government to march against the Egyptians, boasting that he would vanquish Ibrahim or perish in the combat”.

Papaflessas gathered 3,000 poorly armed men and went to the province of Pylia, Messinia, searching for the best spot to face Ibrahim's army coming out of the city of Pylos. He selected the hills of Maniaki in order for him to have a better view of the enemy's movements and there Papaflessas established three lines of defence. On June 1, 1825, Ibrahim's forces led by well-trained French officers attacked Papaflessas' defence lines. Most of the Greek troops lost their nerve, abandoned their positions, and fled. Papaflessas continued to fight the Egyptians with a small force of 800-1000 men loyal to him and his cause.

Papaflessas knew that in choosing to face Ibrahim he would die on the battlefield. Papaflessas's defenses were ultimately broken by the heavy bombardment of Ibrahim's artillery and the repeated attacks of his infantry and cavalry. Fierce hand-to-hand fighting ended with the death of the last defender.

After Papaflessa's death from a bullet in the chest, Ibrahim ordered that his body be cleaned of blood and dirt and tied to a tree. After a few minutes of looking at his foe, Ibrahim walked up to the corpse and kissed it on the cheek as a sign of extreme respect. In speaking of Papaflessas after his death, it is said that Ibrahim told his officers: "If Greece had ten heroes like him, it would not have been possible for me to undertake the military campaign against the Peloponnese".

Legacy
Papaflessas remains a key revolutionary figure in Greek history and places and events have been named in his honour. Such instances include an annual international athletics meeting in Kalamata called Papaflessia and a former municipality in the Peloponnese called Papaflessas

Anima mundi

The anima mundi (Latin), world soul (ψυχὴ κόσμου, ), or soul of the world (ψυχὴ τοῦ κόσμου, ) is an intrinsic connection between all living beings according to several systems of thought, which hold that it relates to the world in much the same way as the animating force or immortal soul is connected to the human body. (Both the Greek and Latin anima are ambiguous between the two meanings.)

Although the concept of a world soul originated in classical antiquity, similar ideas can be found in the thoughts of later European philosophers such as those of Baruch Spinoza, Gottfried Leibniz, Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Schelling, and Georg W.F. Hegel (particularly in his concept of Weltgeist).

Platonism
Plato adhered to this idea, identifying the universe as a living being:

"Thus, then, in accordance with the likely account, we must declare that this Cosmos has verily come into existence as a Living Creature endowed with soul and reason [...] a Living Creature, one and visible, containing within itself all the living creatures which are by nature akin to itself."

Plato's Timaeus describes this living cosmos as being built by the demiurge constructed as to be self-identical and intelligible to reason, according to a rational pattern expressed in mathematical principles and Pythagorean ratios describing the structure of the cosmos, and particularly the motions of the seven classical planets. The living universe is also a god titled Ouranos and Kosmos, which shows, as scholars have argued, that Plato mediates between the poetic and presocratic traditions.

Following Plato, the world soul became an important component in Neoplatonic cosmology, often including its close relationship to the demiurge and the seven planets.

Stoicism
The Stoics believed it to be the only vital force in the universe.

Gnosticism
The world soul was borrowed from Platonist philosophy into several Gnostic sects.

Manichaeism
In Manichaeism, the world soul was also called the Light Soul and the Living Soul, contrasting it with matter, which was associated with lifelessness and death and within which the world soul was imprisoned. The world soul was personified as the Suffering Jesus (Jesus patibilis) who, like the historical Jesus, was depicted as being crucified in the world. This mystica cruxificio was present in all parts of the world, including the skies, soil, and trees, as expressed in the Coptic Manichaean psalms.

Mandaeism
In Mandaeism, the world soul has various parallels with mana.

Scholasticism
During the 12th-Century Renaissance of the High Middle Ages, the analysis of Plato's Timaeus by members of the School of Chartres like William of Conches and Bernardus Silvestris led them to interpret the world soul as possibly or certainly the same as the Christian Holy Spirit under the covering (integumentum) of another name. As or immediately after Peter Abelard was condemned by Bernard of Clairvaux and the 1141 Council of Sens for doctrines similarly close to pantheism, William condemned his own writings on the subject and revised his De Philosophia Mundi to avoid its discussion.

Hermeticism
The concept of the world soul is present in the works of hermetic philosophers like Paracelsus and Robert Fludd.

Judaism
In Jewish mysticism, a parallel concept is that of, which is the all-encompassing Supernal Wisdom that transcends, orders, and vitalises all of creation. Rabbi Nachman of Breslov states that this sublime wisdom may be apprehended by a perfect tzaddik (righteous man). Thus, the tzaddik attains cosmic consciousness and thus is empowered to mitigate all division and conflict within creation.

Parallels in eastern philosophy
Similar concepts in eastern philosophy include the brahman, purusha, and paramatman of Hinduism, and qi in the Chinese School of Naturalists, Taoism, and Neo-Confucianism.

Mattias Norström

Erik Johan Mattias "Notan" Norström (born 2 January 1972) is a Swedish former professional ice hockey defenceman, currently working for the AIK organization. Norström began his National Hockey League career with the New York Rangers. However, he is most noted for his ten seasons as a member of the Los Angeles Kings for whom he served as team captain from 2001–2007; he was the team's first non-North American-born captain. Norström played the final season of his NHL career for the Dallas Stars.

AIK
As a youngster, he played for several years in the "talent factory" Huddinge IK although this original club was Mälarhöjden/Bredäng Hockey. In his teens he moved from Huddinge to AIK (Stockholm), where he started playing in the senior team from 1991. He was drafted in the second round, 48th overall, by the New York Rangers in the 1992 NHL Entry Draft and began his NHL career in 1993 with that team.

NHL
Norström split his time in the Rangers organization between the parent club and their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Binghamton Rangers. On 14 March 1996, he was traded with Nathan LaFayette, Ian Laperrière, Ray Ferraro and a draft pick to the Los Angeles Kings for Marty McSorley, Jari Kurri and Shane Churla. In Los Angeles he developed into a solid stay-at-home defender and anchor of the Kings' blueline. On 1 October 2001, he was appointed team captain after Rob Blake had been traded to the Colorado Avalanche.

During the NHL lockout in 2004–05, Norström played with his previous Swedish team, AIK. The team was playing in the third-tier league, struggling to advance, when Norström arrived. He helped lead them through the playoffs, and to secure a spot in the second tier league the following year.

Norström was originally appointed to the Swedish national team for the 2006 Olympic Games in Turin but had to withdraw due to injury.

When Rob Blake returned to the Kings on 1 July 2006, Norström called him and offered the captaincy back. Blake refused at his presentation press conference and told the media that he regarded "Matty" as the obvious captain and the "core and soul" of the Kings.

Norström was acquired by the Dallas Stars through a trade with the Kings on 27 February 2007, which sent defencemen Jaroslav Modrý and Johan Fransson, a 2008 first round draft pick, a 2007 second round draft pick, and a 2007 third round draft pick to Los Angeles in exchange for Norström, forward Konstantin Pushkarev, a 2007 third round pick, and a 2007 fourth round pick.

On 30 April 2008, he scored the game-winning goal (and first NHL playoff goal of his career) in the first overtime against the San Jose Sharks, allowing the Stars to take a 3–0 series lead.

On 10 June 2008, Norström announced his retirement from hockey. On 20 June 2011, Norström joined the AIK organization as a sports manager and sounding board for Anders Gozzi.

Untitled
I moved this page to a title with correct capitalization... however I am going to guess that this is not an original work just because of how it is presented. Either way somethings needs to be done either with copyright considerations or wikifying. -gren

He says I insulted him :( ...that was not nice of me.

Ways to help this page

 * Verify Facts
 * Wikify
 * Remove point of view
 * Try to find corroborating sources
 * Correct English
 * Find English names to the Greek places mentioned
 * Removed capitalization
 * Put into manageable sections (pages if necessary)

Also
 * too long (over 32K warning when editing)
 * link to this from other relevant pages

Paragraphing
I broke it into paragraphs so it is at least in manageable chunks. It turns out when I went to edit mode that there were hard breaks in the text but they were single, which wikimedia software does not cause a paragraph break so it looks like one big mass.

Now we need to merge back together some of the paragraphs, and break some of them that I didn't break. THEN we can edit. RJFJR 22:21, Dec 24, 2004 (UTC)

other articles
there exist the articles FLESSAS HISTORIC FAMILY and FLESSAS FAMILY which also have problems with title capitalization and unwikified blocks of text. (probably same submitter though I haven't checked to be sure.) RJFJR 22:30, Dec 24, 2004 (UTC)

removing
He was given the name George after his grandfather who was killed by the Turks in 1777 during the Orloff revolution in Peloponnesos. RJFJR 06:52, Dec 31, 2004 (UTC)

Paragraph on two families with event that occurred after his death. RJFJR 06:52, Dec 31, 2004 (UTC)

names
I corrected 'Gregorious', which includes a suffix that does not exist in Greek or in Latin, to 'Gregorios'. Please try to render Greek suffixes directly from Greek, there is no need to Latinize Greek names before you transliterate them for English use.

What do you call...?
What is the term for a 'name' like Papaflessas which is more like a combined title and name? Papa is greek for priest so is Papaflessas like 'Father Flessas' in the Roman church? There ought to be a technical term for when someone is known by a title like this... RJFJR 06:56, Dec 31, 2004 (UTC)

POV?
Is POV still disputed on this or can the POV tag be removed?RJFJR 04:30, Jan 7, 2005 (UTC)

West Virginia Media Holdings

West Virginia Media Holdings was a media company in West Virginia. It owned television stations in each of the four main media markets in the state, as well as a weekly newspaper.

The group owned WOWK-TV in Huntington, WVNS-TV in Lewisburg, and WTRF-TV in Wheeling, West Virginia, which were all affiliated with the CBS network; and WBOY-TV in Clarksburg which was affiliated with NBC. WVNS and WTRF also carried Fox on their digital subchannels, while both subchannels carried MyNetworkTV in addition to Fox as a secondary affiliate. It also owned a weekly newspaper, The State Journal, which mainly covers state commerce and political news.

The group was founded in 2001. The largest private investor in the company was Bray Cary, who served as president and CEO. Cary was formerly an executive with NASCAR, and was responsible for its television contracts before they switched to a bulk network model, along with college basketball syndication.

In August 2008, both WTRF and WBOY began carrying ABC programming on their digital subchannel. Previously, longtime ABC affiliate WTAE-TV in Pittsburgh served both markets as the de facto ABC affiliate and remains on cable in both markets (Fox Ohio Valley replaced WPGH on Comcast systems as the only Fox affiliate on the Comcast channel lineup).

On November 17, 2015, WVMH announced that it would sell its stations to Nexstar Broadcasting Group for $130 million. The company would take over the stations' non-license assets under a time brokerage agreement in December 2015 until the formal completion of the deal, expected in late-2016. The two companies viewed the acquisition as being a complement to Nexstar's WHAG-TV, whose coverage area includes the Eastern Panhandle region. Nexstar CEO Perry A. Sook is an alumnus of WOWK. The sale was completed on January 31, 2017.

The State Journal was separately acquired by NCWV Media in December 2016.

CSS Teaser

CSS Teaser had been the aging Georgetown, D.C. tugboat York River until the beginning of the American Civil War, when she was taken into the Confederate States Navy and took part in the famous Battle of Hampton Roads. Later, she was captured by the United States Navy and became the first USS Teaser.

CSS Teaser
Teaser was built at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Purchased at Richmond, Virginia, by the State of Virginia in 1861, she was assigned to the naval forces in the James River with Lieutenant James Henry Rochelle, Virginia State Navy, in command. Upon the secession of Virginia, Teaser became a part of the Confederate States Navy and continued to operate in Virginia waters. With Lieutenant William A. Webb, CSN, in command, she took an active part in the Battle of Hampton Roads on March 8–March 9, 1862, acting as tender to CSS Virginia. She received the thanks of the Congress of the Confederate States for this action.

Teaser was a pioneer "aircraft carrier", serving as a base for an observation gas-filled balloon; she also became a pioneer minelayer when ordered on June 17, 1862, to assist General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. Under Lieutenant Hunter Davidson, CSN, she was used by the Confederate Naval Submarine Battery Service to plant and service "torpedoes" (mines) in the James River. While engaging USS Maratanza (1861) at Haxall's on the James on July 4, 1862, a Union shell blew up Teaser's boiler and forced her crew to abandon ship. When seized by Maratanza, Teaser was carrying on board a balloon for aerial reconnaissance of Union positions at City Point and Harrison's Landing.

Commanders
The commanders of the CSS Teaser were:

 * Lieutenant James H. Rochelle (May–June 1861)
 * Lieutenant Robert Randolph Carter (June–July 1861)
 * Acting Master William H. Face (June 1861 – January 1862)
 * Lieutenant William A. Webb (February 1862 –)
 * Lieutenant Hunter Davidson (June–July 1862)

USS Teaser
Later that summer, Teaser was taken into the United States Navy and was assigned to the Potomac Flotilla. With the exception of three brief deployments elsewhere, USS Teaser plied the waters of the Potomac River from Alexandria, Virginia, south to Point Lookout, Maryland, to enforce the blockade by interdicting a thriving trade in contraband between the Maryland and Virginia shores.

On September 22, she captured schooner Southerner in the Coan River. On October 19, while operating in the vicinity of Piney Point in St. Mary's County, Maryland, she captured two smugglers and their boat as they were nearing the exit of Herring Creek and preparing to cross the river to Virginia. On November 2, near the mouth of the Rappahannock River, the tug surprised three men attempting to violate the blockade in a canoe. Teaser took them prisoner and turned their contraband over to pro-Union Virginians living on Gwynn's Island. Four days later in Chesapeake Bay, Teaser took the cargo-less sloop Grapeshot and captured her three-man crew.

By December 1862, she had moved to the Rappahannock River with other units of the Potomac Flotilla to support General Ambrose Burnside's thrust toward Richmond. On December 10, she exchanged shots with a Confederate battery located on the southern shore of the river about three miles below Port Royal, Virginia. After Burnside's bloody rebuff at Fredericksburg, Virginia, on December 13, Teaser and her colleagues returned to their anti-smuggling patrol along the Potomac.

Teaser joined USS Primrose (1863) to make March 1863 an active month. On March 24, the two ships sent a boat expedition to reconnoiter Pope's Creek, Virginia. The landing party found two boats used for smuggling and collected information from Union sympathizers in the area. Almost a week later, on the night of March 30—March 31, they dispatched a three-boat party to Monroe's Creek, Virginia. The previous day, a Federal cavalry detachment had surprised a smuggler in the area; and, though the troops captured his goods, the man himself escaped. Boats from Teaser and Primrose succeeded where the Union horsemen had failed, and they gathered some intelligence on other contrabanders as well.

In April 1863, Teaser left the Potomac for duty with Acting Rear Admiral Samuel Phillips Lee's North Atlantic Blockading Squadron at Hampton Roads. On April 17, she joined USS Alert (1861) and USS Coeur de Lion (1861) in an expedition up the Nansemond River west of Norfolk, Virginia. However, she ran aground, damaged her machinery, and had to retire from the venture.

By mid-summer, Teaser was back in action on the Potomac. On the night of July 27, she captured two smugglers with a boatload of tobacco in the mouth of the Mattawoman Creek just south of Indian Head, Maryland. She destroyed the boat and sent the prisoners and contraband north to the Washington Navy Yard. During the night of October 7, Teaser and another flotilla ship (extant records do not identify her companion) noticed signalling between Mathias Point, Virginia, and the Maryland shore. The two ships shelled the woods at Mathias Point, but took no action against the signallers on the Maryland shore other than to urge upon the United States Army's district provost marshal the necessity of constant vigilance.

On January 5, 1864, Teaser and USS Yankee (1861) landed a force of men at Nomini, Virginia, to investigate a rumor that the Southerners had hidden a large lighter and a skiff capable of boating 80 men there. The force, commanded by Teaser's commanding officer, Acting Ensign Sheridan, found both boats, destroyed the lighter, and captured the skiff. During the landing, Confederate soldiers appeared on the heights above Nomini, but the gunboats dampened their curiosity with some well-placed cannon shots.

In April, Teaser, Yankee, USS Anacostia (1856), USS Fuchsia (1863), and USS Resolute (1860) accompanied an Army expedition to Machodoc Creek, Virginia. At 5:00 A.M. on April 13, the five ships cleared the St. Mary's River in company with the Army's steamer USAT Long Branch with a battalion of soldiers under the command of General Edward W. Hinks. Long Branch landed her troops at about 8:00 A.M. while the five ships covered the operation. A contingent of Confederate cavalry appeared on the southern bank of the Machodoc, but retired when Teaser and Anacostia sent four armed boat crews ashore. The landing party netted a prisoner, probably a smuggler, and a large quantity of tobacco. By April 14, General Hinks' troops reembarked in Long Branch and headed for Point Lookout. Anacostia accompanied the Army steamer while the other four warships investigated Currioman Bay and Nomini. They returned to St. Mary's, Virginia, that afternoon to resume patrols.

During the summer of 1864, Teaser was called upon to leave the Potomac once more. On this occasion, the Union forces needed her guns to help defend strategic bridges across the rivers at the head of Chesapeake Bay near Baltimore, Maryland, against Lieutenant General Jubal A. Early's raiders. On July 10, she departed the lower Potomac, rounded Point Lookout, and headed up the Chesapeake Bay. That night, she had to put into the Patuxent River because of heavy winds and leaks in her hull. Before dawn the following morning, she continued up the bay. During the forenoon, the leaks became progressively worse and, by the time she arrived off Annapolis, Maryland, she had to remove her exhaust pipe for temporary repairs. Early that evening, Teaser reached Baltimore where she put in for additional repairs.

The gunboat did not reach her destination, the bridge over the Gunpowder River, until late on July 12. She was too late; the bridge had already been burned. She returned to Baltimore immediately to report on the bridge and to pick up arms and provisions for the vessels stationed in the Gunpowder River. When she arrived back at the bridge, she found orders to return to the Potomac awaiting her. Teaser departed the northern reaches of the Chesapeake and reported back to the Potomac Flotilla at St. Inigoes, Virginia, on the St. Mary's River in late afternoon on April 14.

For the remainder of the war, Teaser and her flotilla-mates plied the Potomac and contributed to the gradual economic strangulation which brought the South to its knees by April 1865. Less than two months after General Robert E. Lee's surrender at Appomattox, Virginia, Teaser was decommissioned at the Washington Navy Yard on June 2. Sold at public auction at Washington to Mr. J. Bigler on June 25, the tug was re-documented as York River on July 2, 1865, and she served commercially until 1878.

Danny Boy

"Danny Boy" is a song with lyrics written by English lawyer Frederic Weatherly in 1910, and set to the traditional Irish melody of "Londonderry Air" in 1913.

History

In 1910, in Bath, Somerset, the English lawyer and lyricist Frederic Weatherly initially wrote the words to "Danny Boy" to a tune other than "Londonderry Air". One story is that his sister-in-law Margaret Enright Weatherly (AKA "Jess") sent him a copy of "Londonderry Air" in 1913 and Weatherly modified the lyrics of "Danny Boy" to fit its rhyme and meter. A different story has Jess singing the air to Weatherly in 1912 with different lyrics. Yet another story is that Frederic did not set the poem to any tune, but that, in 1913, Margaret, who, with her husband Edward Weatherly, was living at the Neosho mine near Ouray, Colorado in the US, set it to the "Londonderry Air" which she had heard as a child in California played by her father and other Irish railway workers.

Weatherly gave the song to the vocalist Elsie Griffin, who made it one of the most popular songs of the new century. Ernestine Schumann-Heink produced the first recording of "Danny Boy" in 1915.

Jane Ross of Limavady is credited with collecting the melody of "Londonderry Air" in the mid-19th century from a musician she encountered.

Lyrics
The 1913 lyrics by Frederic E. Weatherly:

Meaning
There are various conjectures about the meaning of "Danny Boy". Some interpret the song to be a message from a parent to a son going off to war.

The 1918 version of the sheet music with Weatherly's printed signature included alternative lyrics ("Eily Dear"), with the instructions that "when sung by a man, the words in italic should be used; the song then becomes "Eily Dear", so that "Danny Boy" is only to be sung by a lady". Nonetheless, it is unclear whether this was Weatherly's intent and it is common practice for exactly the same lyrics to be used when sung by both women and men.

Usage

 * Percy Grainger's Irish Tune from County Derry adapted the Danny Boy/Londonderry Air melody for wind ensemble in 1918.
 * The song is popular for funerals; but the National Catholic Reporter wrote in 2001 that it "cannot be played during Mass."
 * German poet and playwright Bertolt Brecht wrote an alternative version of the lyrics in 1920 and called it Reminiscence of Marie A..

Select recordings
"Danny Boy" has been recorded multiple times by a variety of performers. Several versions are listed below in chronological order.
 * 1928 Colin O'More
 * 1940 Judy Garland Little Nellie Kelly soundtrack. Garland also sang it live at her concerts in Ireland and Scotland and most famously at her New York Palace Theatre debut in 1951.
