AD vs CE
Hey. Sorry about partaking in the 'AD' vs 'CE' wars on the Old English page, but I'm intrigued why you think it's best to use 'CE' rather than 'AD'. By all means make it 'AD X' (as opposed to 'X AD'), but why 'CE'? It seems just like a re-branding of AD in order to make it PC, but when it clearly corresponds with the AD system it seems absurd. Xipirho 10:46, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * I didn't realise this was an edit war. There are a few reasons why I used CE/BCE rather than AD/BC, which are:
 * CE/BCE is used as an industry standard among many historians and scientific publications.
 * It is now used by government schools in Britain, Australia, etc. (not sure about America).
 * It is non-religious specific (non-christian countries such as China, Japan, etc use our date system to some extent).
 * Our date/calendar system has been adopted as the standard for international timekeeping.
 * Why should non-christians (such as Secularists, Jews, Muslims, etc.) accept this notation for international timekeeping.
 * I'm secular, not a christian or even religious, find AD/BC off-putting, and I don't see CE/BCE as being PC.
 * Using the AD/BC notation 'AD 2005' or '2005 AD' is essentially saying the "2005th year since the birth of our lord Jesus Christ", which is offensive to non-christians, such as myself.
 * The more this system is used, the more people will come to accept it.
 * It's only a minor change, nothing like realigning dates.
 * Even though I'm secular I think Jesus probably did exist, and that the AD/BC notation doesn't actually align with his now widely accepted date of birth c. 6-4 BCE.
 * Christians don't have to find this offensive, they can interpret the 'C' in CE/BCE as Christian, while others can interpret it as Common.
 * Hope this answers your question. -- 203.164.184.242 14:20, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I spose it wasn't really a war - would an edit diplomatic incident be more appropriate? ;-) Anyway, I spose as it can mean 'Christian era' it's OK. Why I find it rather irritating, and I suppose that's the word to use, is because the dating system still revolves around approximately the time of the birth of (be he mythical or not) Jesus but it's just given another, meaningless (what does 'common era' mean?!) name. I'm not a Christian - indeed I'm an atheist - and for this reason when I first came across the system I thought it sounded good, but as it still dates from approximately the birth of Jesus it seems in many respects pointless to 'rebrand' it, as it were. I suppose that as it's 'industry standard' as you put it I can't really oppose it on a historical wikipedia page, and I also see that maybe referring to Jesus as 'dominus' (as in anno domini) could be a bit offensive to some (although surely you could think of it as 'lord [of the christians]' couldn't you?) - how about 'anno christi' ...or 'BJ' (could be problematic! :-) ) and 'AJ'!? I spose they're not gonna catch on! ...well, in brief, thanks for taking the time to explain your case - I think I'm basically I'm OK with BCE and CE now as 'c' can stand for 'Christian'. -- Xipirho 16:28, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * 1) Rysbek Jumabayev -

Some tips to help you out!
Hi, I thought I'd drop a few notes on your talk page with some help on writing articles :o)

First of all, it may be best for you to do a bit of reading, starting with the Wikipedia manual of style, which will give you a lot of information about how Wikipedia prefers its articles to be written. It's not as hard to follow as it might look; quite a bit of the information there probably won't be vital for you at first.

Second, I recommend you make a user sandbox - which is just an area you can use to practise in, and to make notes in, and to get things ready in. If you click this red link: user:/Sandbox, that will let you create that page (it gives you an edit window to start work in). Anything, anywhere, on the help and information pages which gives you an example, try it out in your sandbox until you're familiar with it.

For your article, the next thing you want to do is start collecting as much information as you can about it. Google searches (particularly in Books and Scholar) will be your best friend for this! Once you've found the information, the next most important thing is to start writing up each fact in your own words (very important, this), and make a note at the same time of exactly where that information came from. Build in the references as you go along; I'm going to copy in, down below this, a whole heap of help on doing references, which was produced by one of our best teachers (Chzz).

Here's another place that you'll find incredibly useful - citation templates which you can copy and paste into your sandbox, between tags; you just fill in the blanks from your sources into the template, and you'll end up with nicely formatted inline citations :o) It all helps.  Remember to add a references section to your sandbox (make a new line, and put ==References== on it, and type  on the next line, so that you can see how your citations look as you do them. Remember to save your page often! You don't want to lose your work.

Hopefully this will give you a good start and make life easier for you.

One last thing to keep as a motto: "It's better to write one good, well-referenced, nicely-presented article than it is to create fifty unreferenced one-line stubs!" Pesky ( talk  …stalk!) 10:02, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Simple references
These require two parts;

 * a)

Chzz is 98 years old.

He likes tea.

 * b) A section called "References" with the special code " ";

Named references
Chzz was born in 1837.

Chzz lives in Footown.

Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above; please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result.

Citation templates
You can put anything you like between, but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look;

Chzz has 37 Olympic medals.

Please see user:chzz/demo/citeref to see the result.

For more help and tips on that subject, see user:chzz/help/refs.

Something to make your life easier!
Hi there ! I've just come across one of your articles, and noticed that you might appreciate some help with references.

You might want to consider using this tool - it makes your life a whole heap easier, by filling in complete citation templates for your links. All you do is install the script on Special:MyPage/common.js, or or Special:MyPage/vector.js, then paste the bare url (without [...] brackets) between your tabs, and you'll find a clickable link called Reflinks in your toolbox section of the page (probably in the left hand column). Then click that tool. It does all the rest of the work (provided that you remember to save the page! It doesn't work for everything (particularly often not for pdf documents), but for pretty much anything ending in "htm" or "html" (and with a title) it will do really, really well. Happy editing!

Gender-shape correlation
Hi. About my user page on the correlation between shape and gender, you asked me why I chose three Romance languages. First of all, this whole story amounts to "original research" (although it was not my idea), so Wikipedia is not the place for it. But I found that out only afterwards. Anyway, I chose Romanian because this is the language I first found to show this correlation (and because it is my mother tongue). Then, as I could measure a significant correlation, I wanted to know if other Romance languages have it, becuase it is known (with very few people denying) that Romanian has its roots in Latin, so the other Romance languages should show the same characteristic. French has, however, a much less distinct correlation, so I thought they may have lost it in the latinisation process. Then I turned to Italian, as it probably preserves most of the Latin vocabulary, but again the correlation is very weak. In the meantime someone helped me with the Russian word list, and this is significant because there are many Slavic borrowings into Romanian. Still, the correlation is weak. Recently I tried Latin itself. I had fewer nouns in the list as there are many kinds of fruit and vegetables that appeared afterwards (tomato, potato, corn, etc.). The result is that if you consider neuter nouns in the feminine group you get a correlation as high as in Romanian, but taking neuter nouns as masculine gives a much smaller correlation (there are many neuter nouns in Latin and it changes everything). One more thing, I had to redefine the correlation formula more carefully. The previous formula allows for unrealistic results. Are you interested in this? --AdiJapan 02:50, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

---

I agree with you in most points. Well, I should say that all this correlation thing was more like a one-day experiment, so I used whatever I had at hand, and I only did the experiment because searching the internet for relevant information failed (with the notable exception of the Alamblak language).

I agree with you that going back to Latin and Sanskrit would be excellent. As I said, I tried Latin recently and it looks like you need to group neuter and feminine nouns together to get a good correlation. If I find a good [Whatever]-Sanskrit dictionary I will try Sanskrit too.

I disagree with you on one important aspect. It is not necessarily in the old languages that this correlation has its roots, although I agree that it would be somewhat more plausible. But I wouldn't neglect the possibility for modern humans to have their contribution, even in such an old invention as the language.

One more thing: Even if Latin did not show this correlation, it still is conceivable that some Romance languages have preserved various features from the substratum, and the gender-shape correlation could be one of them.

Balantidium

Balantidium is a genus of ciliates. It contains the parasitic species Balantidium coli, the only known cause of balantidiasis.

History
The first-described species of Balantidium, B. entozoon, was described in 1838 by Ehrenberg as a member of the genus Bursaria. Balantidium coli observed in patients with dysentery was originally described as Paramecium coli by Malmstein in 1857. In 1858, Edouard Claparède and Johannes Lachmann created the genus Balantidium and reclassified B. entozoon as its type species. Stein in 1863, reclassified Paramecium coli into the genus Balantidium.

Transcriptomics
Transcriptome data for Balantidium ctenopharyngodoni, from single-cell transcriptome sequencing, were published in 2017 and were the first omics data within the subclass Trichostomatia.

Taxonomy
A separate genus – Neobalantidium – has been created for several of these species. Balantidium coli is one of the species that has been reclassified. It has also been proposed that it is a junior synonym of genus Balantioides–which has B. coli as the type species.

Königs Wusterhausen radio transmitter

The Königs Wusterhausen transmitter (Sender Königs Wusterhausen) was a large transmission facility for longwave, mediumwave and shortwave radio, located near Königs Wusterhausen southeast of Berlin, Germany. Initially built by the telegraph battalion of the German Army, operation began during World War I in 1916. On 22 December 1920, the transmission of a Christmas concert marked the birth of public broadcasting in Germany.

History
The German armed forces had conducted experiments in radio technology on the Windmühlenberg hill northwest of Königs Wusterhausen since 1911, with mobile stations mounted on horse carriages and antennas held up by captive balloons. Extended signal corps facilities were erected at the site from 1913 onwards, including a large antenna system and several functional buildings. Later called Senderhaus 1, the military broadcasting station was put into operation in 1916.

After the war, the German Reichspost took over the barracks with effect from September 1919 and used the facilities for the transmission of weather reports, financial news, and telegrams. Radio broadcasting was initiated by post official Hans Bredow and his staff when they used an arc converter supplied by C. Lorenz AG for the first transmission of speech and music in the longwave range on 22 December 1920, making Königs Wusterhausen the "cradle of German broadcasting". After private radio reception was authorised by law in 1923, transmissions quickly developed throughout the Weimar Republic. The facilities soon had to be enlarged and a second station building (Sendehaus 2) was inaugurated in 1923 At Königs Wusterhausen, a nationwide Deutschlandsender transmitter was erected in 1925, then consisting of several masts with heights from 100 m up to 210 m and the 243 m high Central Tower. It was soon followed by a longwave transmitter in nearby Zeesen (Deutschlandsender II) and the first public shortwave transmitter for international broadcasting (Weltrundfunksender), built by the Telefunken company and inaugurated in August 1929. After the Nazi seizure of power in 1933, these facilities were extensively used for propaganda purposes.

With the end of World War II, Königs Wusterhausen was part of the Soviet occupation zone and several masts were taken down by order of the military government, though the station remained in use for broadcasting in East Germany. The Central Tower collapsed during the Cyclone Quimburga on 15 November 1972. At the date of German reunification in 1990, there was only one 210 m high mast with a longwave aerial, two masts for a T-aerial for medium wave and some small towers. The remaining transmitters for mediumwave, shortwave and longwave were shut down between 1992 and 1999 and the whole area was transformed into a museum, which is marked by the 210-metre-high mast.

For mobile phone services and low power FM broadcasting, a 67-metre-high free-standing tower of concrete was built in 1994.

Proposal: Christmas

Therefore, it could be... Christmas is a traditional holiday in the Christian calendar which takes place on the twenty-fifth day of December and celebrates the birth of Jesus. According to the Christian gospels, Jesus was born to the Virgin Mary in Bethlehem, where Mary and her husband Joseph had travelled to register in the Roman census. His birth was said by his followers to fulfill the prophecies of Judaism that a messiah would come from the house of David. Christmas is also a secular holiday throughout much of the world, including countries with small Christian populations, such as Japan.

RE: Pearl Milk Tea article
Trivia: Yes, apparently I neglected to add the once per week part when I edited that section. It was an honest mistake, thank you for pointing that out. I've fixed it. However I stand by the rest of my edit. The original contained incorrect information (see the linked news articles) and was decidedly nonneutral in it's wording.

use the name -> are known as: As far as I know, most of the names in the list are general product descriptions and not brand names. i.e. "photocopier" as opposed to "Xerox".

removal of _much_ w/ reference to 1 cm diamete: Not sure if pearl sago is regarded in the same catagory as the more farmiliar large variety. Will look into this.

skills of making -> quality of resulting product Agree with your point. But "skills of making" sounds a little odd. Perhaps "skill in making"? Also, most people generally care about the quality of the final product be it by skill or ingredients.

AOL
Sorry I didn't explain my revert - I've been having massive problems getting onto Wikipedia lately and never was able to put a note on the America Onlin talk page explaining my move, as I intended; the whole thing froze on me and I bailed. Anyway, I think your point was well taken but should be included in the America Online article, instead of turning AOL into a disambiguation page. Disambig pages should be avoided if possible - often it's not possible, of course - because they force a second click on readers. In this case, the overwhelming majority who go to AOL want to learn about America Online, not about "AOL" as an insult, so we shouldn't force them to go through a disambig. In my humble opinon, that is! - DavidWBrooks 01:00, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)

"UTSRelativity is a male, Christian, Cantonese-speaking Chinese Canadian who was born in Hong Kong in 1985 and grew up in the Agincourt district of Scarborough, Ontario watching the Zone on YTV, his favourite TV station."

In that case, he jolly well shouldn't be telling a 41-year-old English teacher whose mother tongue is English how to write his own language, now should he? Do I tell you how to write Cantonese?

By the way, I notice that you spell "favourite" with a U in it. You're wrong about "neighbourhood"; it has a U. ———Kelisi 2005/2/10

 * You do not normally write Cantonese, you write Chinese. If you simply reverted the page and asked politely, I would have checked my references.  I admit that I was wrong.  I would like to note that what you did could be considered a personal attack and is bad netiquette, and I am not saying that my netiquette is good either.  By the way, my user talk page may have been a more appropriate place for this discussion.

 * For someone who claims to be a "41-year-old English teacher," it's pretty childish of you to lash out at someone -- and poke fun at their grammar/spelling -- on a public talk page, for all to see. Darkcore 17:55, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * @Kelisi—Thank you for reminding me, and if I was handing in an assignment I would check my spelling (although the markers do not care how words are spelled in code comments anyway). Note that this is a talk page; please stop posting spelling correction posts to such, because it is generally considered impolite.  As it is, your response fails to address the problem, and instead focuses on spelling in metainformation.  To avoid problems in the future, you would be well advised to post only when you have actual content.  By the way, you can sign your messages with four tildes.

 * — UTSRelativity 18:08, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

UTS, you're taking this far too seriously. My only point was that we should all stick to things we know about. By the way, I was sure I'd read somewhere that there is no single spelling standard for English-language Wikipedia. That page further suggested, however, that spelling be consistent (ie not a mixture of Commonwealth and US spellings) throughout an article, but I notice that not even that rule is observed. I usually don't bother to "correct" that. Kelisi 19:54, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree with your point about sticking to things we know; however, it is not my opinion that I do not know Canadian English. I admit I was mistaken about the spelling of neighbourhood, but we all make mistakes once in a while.  You are correct about the "spelling issue" on Wikipedia, although it is my personal belief that, for country-specific articles, we should strive to use the local variation.

 * My "taking this... seriously" (or as you say "[my] only point") is to explain to you that what you did is generally considered unacceptable online behaviour. This is not just my view—you may want to take note of Darkcore's reply above (which I moved from the original talk page).  As an operator and moderator in various online communities, I strive to promote and practice good netiquette just as you seem to promote and practice the proper use of English.  It may also be helpful for you to note that most "rules" on Wikipedia are simply conventions.

But you should be aware that changing someone else's user page is considered to be a violation of Wikipedia etiquette. It really isn't done. In the future, you might want to just leave a note on someone's talk page to point out an error on their user page, rather than making the changes yourself.

Move of Naquadah to Naqahdah
While editing a Stargate-related stub, I noticed that you recently renamed Naquadah as Naqahdah. I think the original spelling is the preferable one, for a couple of reasons. First, a Google search indicates an 11:1 ratio in its favor. Second, whenever I have seen an episode of SG-1, the closed-captioning function has been enabled, and the spelling is always, I am quite sure, "Naquadah". If there's some information I'm missing, or a consensus on renaming the page that I missed, please let me know. NatusRoma 05:21, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

Bringing Wikipedia to Toronto
I've been working on a bid to bring Wikimania 2006 to Toronto. I have contacted KMDI, an institute at the University of Toronto. They are very interested in partnering with us, and can get us a full range of U of T facilities for free. With this offer I think there is a very good chance of bringing Wikimania 2006 to Toronto. The only thing we currently lack are people willing to help out. I'm willing to do much of the work, but for the time being I am in Ottawa and having some people on the ground in Toronto will be necessary. We also need a number of people willing to assist at the actual event, likely the first weekend of August 2006. If you are interested in helping out sign up at Wikimania 2006/Toronto. Preliminary bids from various cities need to be made by Sept. 30, 2005, at which point a committee will choose which city gets to host the event. The number of people willing to help will certainly be an important consideration. - SimonP 16:31, September 6, 2005 (UTC)

Image:St Mark's CopticChurch--TO.jpg
Hello, there.

I just wanted to know if you're able to take a picture of St. Mark's Coptic Orthodox Church in Toronto. You can find out the street address online (the links to those websites are on the image pages). The current images are, unfortunately, copyrighted, as I was the one who uploaded them.

The current (copyrighted) images may get deleted, so if they do, then I'll need to replace them.

I need you or somebody else to take a picture, release its copyright, and upload it onto Wikipedia. I HAVE contacted others to notify them also, so if there are more than one pictures, that's OK (I can still make an article on them). I want these images to be used for, specifically, the article "Coptic Orthodox Church in Canada". The image page is, again:

Melchior Klesl

Melchior Klesl (19 February 1552 – 18 September 1630) was an Austrian statesman and cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church during the time of the Counter-Reformation. He was minister-favourite of King and Emperor Matthias (1609-1618) and a leading advocate for peace between the empire's different confessional leagues before the Thirty Years' War.

Klesl was appointed Bishop of Vienna in 1602 and elevated to cardinal in December.

Biography
He was born in Vienna to Lutheran Protestant parents, with his father being a baker his surname was also written Khlesl, Klesel or Cleselius.

Klesl studied philosophy at the University of Vienna and converted to Catholicism after he had been impressed by the preaching of the Jesuits. He entered the Faculty of Philosophy at University of Vienna in 1570. In 1574, he joined the “Papal Alumnat”, a boarding school for prospective priests that as run by the Jesuits in Vienna. Emperor Rudolf II then became aware of him as a promising candidate for the priesthood and wanted to use him for his plans for a campaign against his Protestant noble estates and towns, as well as for a church reform in Lower Austria.

In 1579, Khesl, now a doctor of philosophy, was given the post of cathedral provost of St. Stephen's, in Vienna, and received his ordination to the priesthood.

The emperor and his advisors pressured the prince-bishop of Passau, Urban of Trenbach, to make Klesl his official representative in Vienna to carry out a reform of the Catholic clergy. Trenbach, appointed Klesl as his official representative for Lower Austria in 1580 and in 1581 as his vicar-general in Vienna. His task was to discipline the dissolute and lax Catholic clergy. As cathedral provost and chancellor of the university, he worked on behalf of the emperor to make adherence to the Catholic confession a duty for professors and students. As an official, he was also given the task by Rudolf II to return the Protestant towns in Lower Austria to the faith of the emperor. The campaign had its peak between 1585 and 1588.

Klesl’s moderate measures during his campaign to Catholicise Lower Austria again became the source of some tension with Jesuits like the hardliner Father Georg Scherer, which soon led to an open contention. To calm things down, Klesl claimed that Scherer had convinced him to convert and that both had the same goal. In 1588, Rudolf appointed Klesl as administrator of the Diocese of Wiener Neustadt.

Because it lost some powerful supporters such as Leonhard IV von Harrach in Vienna and Adam von Dietrichstein at the imperial court in Prague and Governor Archduke Ernst, the Counter-Reformation was gradually losing support against the opposition to the government in Vienna. Even the intervention of Emperor Rudolf II failed to help. The opposition, especially from Chancellor Wolfgang Unverzagt, who was regarded as in Archduke Matthias's government in Vienna, was too strong.

Unverzagt proposed making Klesl bishop of the small rundown Bishopric of Vienna, which was intended to take the wind out of his sails. Klesl’s allies in Prague, privy councillors Wolf Rumpf and Paul Sixt III von Trautson, could not do anything against it. To avoid political insignificance, Klesl attempted to be named to an influential position on the staff of Archduke Matthias.

In 1598, Archduke Maximilian III, who presided over the Hungarian Diet in Pressburg for his brother Matthias, announced Klesl’s nomination as Bishop of Vienna. After a sensation, provoked by Klesl himself, who announced that he would run the bishopric with heavy-handedness against the government in Vienna, the nomination was withdrawn. Gerber, in 1602, he was installed as bishop after his demands for economic support for the bishopric had been fulfilled. Klesl was named Bishop of Vienna, a diocese that was spiritually and materially in a state of degradation. On 30 Mar 1614, he was consecrated bishop by Placido della Marra, Bishop of Melfi e Rapolla. He received the purple from Paul V in 1616.

His appointment as Bishop of Vienna took place in a phase of high hopes in Prague, Vienna and Graz, that the Catholic House of Austria would reassert its position against the Protestant opposition in the Habsburg monarchy; Klesl favoured confronting the opposition. Meanwhile, the Brothers' Quarrel, the struggle between Emperor Rudolf II and his brothers for succession in the Habsburg monarchy and the empire, had sharpened. Specifically, the ambition of Matthias to become emperor himself offered Klesl the opportunity to increase his influence at the court in Vienna.

Klesel tried to thread a marriage of Matthias to Bavarian Princess Magdalena to get the Dukes of Bavaria as Catholic allies in the struggle for the throne of Rudolf II. In the end, the negotiations came to nothing because Magdalena did not want to be his wife.

Since 1605, the uprising of Stefan Bocskai in Hungary and Transylvania, both Rudolf and Governor Matthias in Vienna had been pursuing a more moderate policy towards the Protestant opposition in the estates of the Habsburg monarchy because they needed their support against Bocskai. Klesl opposed the policy, but the final decision lay in the hands of the council around Matthias and, increasingly, Karl I von Liechtenstein, privy councillor of Rudolf II and sometimes his high steward. Liechtenstein increasingly dominated the politics of Archduke Matthias to the point of a putsch against his brother, Emperor Rudolf II. Matthias took over Austria, Moravia and Hungary but had to make, however, especially with the advice of Liechtenstein, difficult concessions to his allied estates.

In spring 1609, Klesl finally reached the high point of his power in Vienna by becoming the minister-favourite of Matthias, but to be formally the president of privy council, he had to wait until January 1613. Liechtenstein left the court. Klesl's struggle for the position of the dominant minister in Vienna, however, continued until December 1611, when Liechtenstein gave up and admitted his defeat.

In 1609, Klesl tried to withdraw the concessions that had been made to the oppositional estates made by Liechtenstein and his supporters, but the quarrel with the emperor, as well as the political and economic weakness of Matthias, forced Klesl to take an increasingly-moderate stance toward the Protestant opposition, even the Calvinists. Klesl was working to make Matthias the next emperor.

For that goal, he needed the Protestant electors. The ecclesiastical (bishop) electors supported Archduke Albrecht VII, the brother of Matthias and the ruler of the Spanish Netherlands, to be the next emperor. After the death of Rudolf II, the election of Matthias succeeded because of the Protestant vote. As the minister-favourite of the new emperor, Klesl at first pursued a policy of mobilising the empire's estates for a new war against the Ottoman Empire to unify the hostile confessional camps under Matthias, but that move proved to be a failure.

That made him begin in 1614 to negotiate with Ottoman envoys for a new peace treaty. The Treaty of Vienna in 1615 with the Ottomans was probably his greatest political success. His efforts to settle the conflicts among the confessional associations, the Protestant Union and the Catholic League, were much less successful. His attempts to dissolve the confessional alliances to create a party of the emperor faced insurmountable resistance.

Since the coronation of Matthias as emperor, the question of succession had immediately become an important political issue because Matthias had in his marriage with Anna of Tyrol no male heir to succeed him. The King of Spain wanted to make his son emperor and before that King of Bohemia and Hungary. Archduke Ferdinand of Inner Austria also claimed those crowns and found with Maximilian III a scheming supporter. The negotiations with Philip III lasted until a treaty between Philip and Ferdinand, the Oñate Treaty in the spring of 1617. Archdukes Maximilian III and Ferdinand urged the election of Ferdinand as Emperor before the Habsburgs reached any agreement about the crowns of Bohemia and Hungary, but Klesl first wanted negotiations with the Calvinist electors to save the election. Maximilian III saw that as a tactic to prolong the election and so Klesl needed protection against his enemies in the House of Austria and its Catholic supporters. The device was that Emperor Matthias convinced the pope to make Klesl a cardinal.

On 2 December 1615 Pope Paul V made Klesl in pectore cardinal, which he had proclaimed on the April 11, 1616. Klesl received Santa Maria degli Angeli as his titular church but in 1623 switched to San Silvestro in Capite.

Maximilian III had in 1616 planned to murder Cardinal Klesl, but his cousin Ferdinand held him back. The uprising in Bohemia after the Defenestration if Prague ultimately led to the beginning of the Thirty Years' War and had brought about the end of Klesl’s position as minister-favourite because of his preferential treatment of a moderate reaction since the emperor lacked the money for a military answer, and Philip III signalled no strong assistance. On 20 July 1618 Maximilian III, Ferdinand II (now King of Bohemia and Hungary) and Spanish Ambassador Inigo Velez de Guevara, Conde de Oñate, arrested Klesl and held him prisoner in Tyrol.

The pope sent a special envoy, Cardinal Fabrizio Verospi, to investigate Klesl's case. Verospi urged in the name of Paul V for the cardinal to be placed under ecclesiastical arrest. In 1619, Klesl was brought to the monastery of St. Georgenberg, where he was held in ecclesiastical custody and under the supervision of the government in Innsbruck. By papal diplomacy, especially by Cardinal Ludovico Ludovisi, Klesl could be transferred to Castel Sant’ Angelo, in Rome, on 23 October 1622 and the accusations against him were so reduced that no legitimate reason for his arrest remained. On 18 June 1623 Pope Gregory XV released him from custody. In Rome, Klesl carried on political activities in support for his earlier enemies Maximilian I of Bavaria and Johann Schweikhart von Cronberg, Elector of Mainz. In Vienna, the policy was seen as revenge on Emperor Ferdinand II. To get Klesl out of Rome, Ferdinand accepted full satisfaction for Cardinal Klesl. Pope Urban VIII cleared Klesl of any guilt, and in the autumn of 1626, he was allowed to leave Rome. On 25 January 1628 Klesl entered the Cathedral of St. Stephen, in Vienna, in a festive procession and resumed his episcopate. The Catholic alliance seemed to be very successful in its war against the Protestant princes and their allies, but Ferdinand II, influenced by his Jesuit confessor, Wilhelm Lamormaini, wanted to exploit their victories to continue to push Protestant princes back as far as possible. However Klesl held to his conviction that the war could not be won and that it would be better for the emperor and the Catholic Church to proceed more prudently.

He died in Wiener Neustadt in 1630. His heart reposes before the high altar of the Cathedral of Wiener Neustadt, and his body rests in the St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna.

Inhabitants of Vienna recognise Klesl's name mainly because Khleslplatz (Khlesl Square), in Vienna's 12th district, Meidling, in the former village of Altmannsdorf, has been named after him, allegedly because he used to stop at No. 12 on his journeys from Wiener Neustadt to Vienna. Since 1978, the 16th-century building has housed the Renner-Institut, the political academy of the Social Democratic Party of Austria, and No. 6 was until 1998 the site of the Tierschutzhaus of the Wiener Tierschutzverein (founded in 1846), where generations of animal lovers would go to collect homeless pets.

Episcopal succession
As bishop, he was the principal consecrator of the following:
 * Péter Pázmány, Archbishop of Esztergom (1617);
 * Lilio Livioi, Auxiliary Bishop of Constantinople (1625);
 * Vincenzo Martinelli (bishop), Bishop of Conversano (1625); and
 * Giovanni Battista Maria Pallotta, Titular Archbishop of Thessalonica (1628).

Kontusz

A Kontusz (Polish plural kontusze; кунтуш, Lithuanian: kontušas; originally from Hungarian köntös- "robe") is a type of outer garment worn by the Hungarian and Polish-Lithuanian male nobility. It became popular in the 16th century and came to the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth rule via Hungary from Turkey. In the 17th century, worn over an inner garment (żupan), the kontusz became a notable element of male Polish national and Zaporozhian cossack attire.

The kontusz was a long robe, usually reaching to below the knees, with a set of decorative buttons down the front. The sleeves were long and loose, on hot days worn untied, thrown on the back. In winter a fur lining could be attached to the kontusz, or a delia worn over it. The kontusz was usually of a vivid colour, and the lining was of a contrasting hue. The kontusz was tied with a long, wide sash called a pas kontuszowy.

The kontusz was more of a decorative garment than a practical one. Tradition states that the first kontusze were worn by szlachta who captured them from Ottomans to display as loot, which itself possibly originated from Mongol Haiqing which had openings in armpit.

Throwing kontusz sleeves on one's back and stroking one's moustache was considered to be a signal of readiness for a fight.

In 1776, Sejm deputies from different voivodeships of Poland were obliged to wear different coloured żupany and kontusze denoting their voivodeships.

In Poland, kontusz was worn mainly by the nobility, but it was also adopted by the Zaporozhian cossacks when Ukraine and Ruthenia were under Polish rule.

Shlomo Artzi

Shlomo Artzi (שלמה ארצי; born 26 November 1949) is an Israeli folk rock musician, composer, music producer, radio host and singer-songwriter. He is one of the most popular and successful musicians in Israel.

Biography
Shlomo Artzi was born on Moshav Alonei Abba. Artzi's parents were Holocaust survivors and their memories deeply influenced him and his sister Nava Semel, a playwright. His father, Yitzhak Artzi, a Zionist activist in Bukovina, Romania in his youth, was later a member of the Knesset. His maternal grandmother was the sister of Rabbi Meir Shapiro.

When Artzi was eight years old, his family moved to north Tel Aviv. Artzi's schoolmates thought he would become an actor, not a musician, as he was known for his acting skills at elementary school. However, at the age of twelve, he started playing the guitar and singing in a boy scouts group and at friends' parties. Artzi has been married twice and has three children from his first marriage: Ben Artzi (singer), Shiri Artzi (author married to Yiftach Klein), and Jonathan Artzi.

Artzi resides in Ramat Gan. He is a fan of the football club Maccabi Netanya and composed its championship song in 1971.

1960s: Teen and army bands
At age 16, he began writing and composing songs. As the Sinai Duo, he started performing before soldiers, along with his classmate Rivka Menashe, who later gained fame as Riki Gal.

During his military service, Artzi was recruited to the Artillery Corps, and after serving for a year and a half, he joined Lehakat Kheil Hayam (Israeli Navy Band). While in this band, he took part in the programs "And on the Third Day" and "Rhapsody in Blue", alongside other soon-to-be Israeli celebrities, such as Rivka Zohar, Dov Glickman, Avi Uriah and Riki Gal. He was yet to stand out during the first program. By the second program, he became the lead singer and one of the main stars. He sang lead vocals on several songs on the Group's LPs.

1970s: Emerging and evolving as a solo singer
In 1970, Artzi competed in the Israel Song Festival. Still in military service and wearing a military uniform, he sang Pitom Achshav, Pitom Hayom (Suddenly Now, Suddenly Today), also known as "Ahavtiha" (I loved her). The song, written by Tirza Atar and composed by Ya'akov Hollander, won first prize. It was included in his first album, Shlomo Artzi, which came out in 1970, and came in first in the annual chart-toppers countdown of Kol Israel. Artzi was voted Singer of the Year.

In 1975 he was selected to represent Israel in the Eurovision Song Contest. The selected song was At Ve'Ani (You and Me), written by Israeli songwriter Ehud Manor, and composed by Artzi himself. "At Va'Ani" won 11th place.

Over the next few years, Artzi's records did not sell well and he produced few hit singles. Most of these albums became rare collectibles. In 1977, he made "He lost his way…" (גבר הולך לאיבוד, Gever Holekh Le'ibud) whose success convinced Artzi to continue singing. In 1979 he recorded Drachim (Ways), with a fresher style. His 1981 LP "Khatzot" (Midnight) was the second part of "Drachim".

1980s: Dance, Restless Night, July-August Heat
Artzi's fame rose throughout the 1980s and reached a peak with the release of the albums "Dance" (Tirkod) and "Restless Night" (לילה לא שקט, Layla Lo Shaket) which sold tens of thousands. He began to appear in the country's largest parks and theatres.

In 1980 Artzi hosted his radio show on Israel's Military Radio station, Galgaley Tzahal. In this show, he talked about the week's headlines and told interesting stories about things he heard or saw. "Od lo Shabbat" (It's not Sabbath yet) was broadcast on Fridays.

His records "Tirkod" (Dance, 1984), "Layla Lo Shaket" (Restless Night, 1986), and "Hom Yuli August" (July-August Heat, 1988) albums sold hundred thousand copies, and his live shows at Israel's largest concert venues were fully booked.

1990s: Ticket to the Luna Park, Moon, Two
Artzi opened the nineties with the album "Kartis Laluna Park" ("Ticket to Luna Park"), produced by Louis Lahav and arranged by Adi Rennert. Artzi wrote and composed most of the songs on the album, including "Nikhnast Lechayay", "Rocker Chayay", "Me-Ever LaNahar" and "Agadat HaEsrim VeAhat". Rennert composed the song "Situatia" to the words of Artzi. After the great successes of his previous albums, the album was considered a commercial failure, and did not leave many hits, although it did not stop the glory days of Artzi.

In 1992 Artzi released Yareah (ירח, Moon), one of his most successful albums. Out of twelve songs on it, eight became radio hits and finally solidified Artzi's status in Israeli popular music.

In 1995 popular Israeli musicians recorded a CD together in memory of Yitzhak Rabin, named "Shalom Chaver". Shlomo Artzi played two songs during the memorial service, which later became anthems of those days – "Haish Ha'hu" (That Man) and "Uf Gozal" (Fly Little Bird), which was originally written and recorded by Arik Einstein and Miki Gavrielov.

In 1996 Artzi released a double album called "Shnayim" ("Two"), selling an almost unprecedented 160,000 copies, making it a certified 4× platinum record. The most notable songs in this CD were the title track, sung with Israeli singer Rita, "Hi Lo Yoda'at Ma Over Alai" ("She Doesn't Know What I'm Going Through"), '"Menagev Lakh Et Hadmaot" ("Wiping Away Your Tears ") "Ze Ma Shenish'ar" ("That's What's Left"), "Ha'ahava Hayeshana" ("The Old Love"), "Le'an, Le'an, Le'an" ("Where, Where, Where"), "Shisha" ("Six"), "Absurd" and "Dokh Retzhakh" ("Murder Report") on the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin compared to that of JFK. "Shnayim" signaled the beginning of a string of original material, among them some of the best-selling Israeli records of all time.

2000s: I Loved Them, Thirst, Sane
In 2000 Artzi released "Ahavtihem" ("I Loved Them"), a collection of reworked love songs, many originally written by him for other artists. The album featured a revision of his hit "Ahavtiha" ("I Loved Her"), "Nof Yaldoot" ("Scenes from Childhood"), "Anakhnu Lo Tzrikhim" ("We Don't Need"), "At Va'ani" ("You and Me"), "Ma'avir Daf" ("Turning the Page") – a duet with Nurit Galron (who performed the song originally), "Shir Preda" ("A Goodbye Song") – a duet with his singer-songwriter son, Ben Artzi and "Melekh ha'olam" ("King of the World", a Hebrew translated cover of White Plains "When You Are a King"). The album went on to sell over 200,000 copies – an unprecedented achievement in the little Israeli music market.

"Tzima'on" ("Thirst"), released in 2002, featured the title track as its lead single, as well as "Al-Pi Tnuat Harakavot" ("The Way the Trains Run") LeHatzil Otakh ("To Save You") and "Ptzatzat Atom Bashamaim" ("Atom Bomb in the Sky"). The albums sold over 60,000 copies (3× gold record) in the first two weeks of their release but the reviews were critical. Artzi later described these albums as flawed.

In 2007 Artzi released "Shfuyim" ("Sane"). The album came out in July, with a lead single "Ha'amiti" ("The Real"). His collaboration with Mooke (of the Rap-Rock band Shabak Samekh) was panned. "Nitzmadnu" helped to restore his reputation with a catchy sing-along melodic line and lyrics. The came one of Artzi's most enduring hits, "TeTa'aru Lakhem" ("Imagine Yourselves"), with a romantic message: "Imagine yourselves a beautiful world, a little less sad than it actually is, and there we are, walking, with sunshine in our pockets".

2010s: Happiness Express, Whipped Cream
In 2012 Artzi finally released "Osher Express" ("Happiness Express"). This album enjoyed critical acclaim and commercial success. It featured a strong collection of new songs, beloved singles, and an intriguing lead-off single: "Khozrim Habaita" ("Coming Home") which featured the iconic Israeli singer Arik Einstein. This was followed by "Kol Yom" ("Every Day"), a life-affirming duet with Dudu Tasa "Latet Velakakhat" ("Negotiating"), and a spiritual duet with Abraham Tal "Elohim" ("God"). Additional singles produced at this time were "Nedaber Mehalev" ("Let's Speak from the Heart") and "Shelo Ye'almu Hadvarim Hayafim" ("Hoping the Beautiful Things Don't Disappear"). The album included "Ometz" ("Courage"), "Florida", and Artzi's unique take on the wave of social protests in 2012, "Kayitz Be'eretz Lu" ("Summer in If-Land").

In 2016, Artzi released "Katzefet" ("Whipped Cream").

Northwest Railway Museum

The Northwest Railway Museum (NRM) is a railroad museum in Snoqualmie, King County, Washington. It incorporates a heritage railway, historic depot, exhibit hall, library, and collection care center, and serves more than 130,000 visitors per year.

The heritage railway incorporates five miles of the line constructed in 1889 by the Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern Railway (SLS&E), which was part of Seattle's response to the Northern Pacific selecting Tacoma as their western terminus. The SLS&E was later purchased by the Northern Pacific.

Snoqualmie depot
The Snoqualmie depot was built in 1890 by the SLS&E. The depot is an example of a building that was in nearly every community across the nation. Good architecture was good advertising and enhanced company pride. The station once served as the terminal for this early recreation area. An atypical design was the result of the need for a rural combined freight-passenger depot, however, one with lavish decorations to reflect the holiday spirit of vacationers from Seattle. Visitors came to enjoy hunting and fishing, as well as excursions to Snoqualmie Falls.

The station is a large frame building about 125 by with a generous 9 ft eaves. A bay window features the telegrapher's office. The semicircular north end stands out in this design. The eaves are supported by wooden pillars and diagonal braces and scroll work decorates the intersection of the braces with the eaves and the pillars. The current structure was modified from the original, in which the bay window continued up through the roof and formed an octagonal tower a full story in height. A two sash window with a semicircular upper sash appeared on each face of the tower and a prominent cornice separated the tower body from the steeply pitched roof. The roof was decorated with fancy butt shingles and capped with a finial. A large swept dormer was placed in the southern part of the main structure above the freight section, Cast iron cresting and fancy butt shingles decorated the roof of both the main body and the transverse dormer. The freight dock, was wider originally and ran the length of the entire rear third of the station, is now a small porch in front of a single sliding freight door.

The Snoqualmie depot is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, ID #74001963.

Museum
The Northwest Railway Museum was founded in 1957 as the Puget Sound Railway Historical Association. As part of a general reorganization, the museum took its current name in September 1999. The mission of the organization is to develop and operate an outstanding railway museum where the public can see and understand the role of railroads in the development of the Pacific Northwest, and experience the excitement of a working railroad.

The museum's collection also includes a variety of railway cars and locomotives that document the development of the railway in Washington from the 1880s through the 1990s, including the Messenger of Peace Chapel Car which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It also includes a 3,000-volume library and archives that focus on the history of railroads in the Northwest and on technical and other engineering aspects of railroading.

Passenger cars
The Northwest Railway Museum maintains 18 passenger cars of various time periods, manufactured between 1881 and 1998. Most of these cars were built by either Barney and Smith, the St. Louis Car Company, or Pullman. Several of the passenger cars operate with one or both of the museum's 2 RS4-TCs and/or Northern Pacific 924 for excursion service on the Snoqualmie Valley Railroad.

Freight, industrial, and maintenance of way equipment
The museum owns a total of 39 other railway equipment artifacts in various forms, previously operating for a wide variety of railroads. While not included as historic equipment, there is also the various pieces of equipment used to maintain the railway, some of which dates as far back as the 1950s.

Heritage railroad
The Northwest Railway Museum operates a heritage railroad called the Snoqualmie Valley Railroad. This 5 mi route allows museum visitors to experience a train excursion aboard antique railroad coaches dating to 1915 and earlier. Trains are scheduled either Saturday, or Saturday and Sunday depending on the time of year, with chartered or special trains on various days. The railroad typically carries over 60,000 passengers per year. The railroad hosts several special events, such as the Day Out with Thomas event every July. Other events include Christmas & Halloween trains, wine tasting specials, and chartered excursions such as educational trains and corporate events.

Railway History Center
In August 2006 the Museum dedicated the new Conservation and Restoration Center (CRC), phase one of the Railway History Center. The CRC is a place to perform repairs and restoration work on the museum's different pieces of equipment, including locomotives, passenger cars, and freight cars. It features 8200 sqft, two full-length inspection pits, and is used to perform many functions once conducted in railroad backshops. A full assortment of carpentry and machining equipment allows the museum to produce parts that have been out of production since the 1960s.

Joseph Tommasi

Joseph Charles Tommasi (April 15, 1951 – August 15, 1975) was an American Neo-Nazi who founded the National Socialist Liberation Front. He advocated extremism and armed guerrilla warfare against the U.S. government and what he called its "Jewish power structure." Tommasi wanted anarchy and lawlessness so that the "system" could be attacked without protection. Tommasi was derisively nicknamed "Tomato Joe" by rival neo-Nazis because of his Italian heritage and "less than Nordic complexion." He was later expelled from the group for using drugs and misusing group funds.

Tommasi was shot and killed during a fight with a fellow Neo-Nazi in 1975.

Politics
Influenced by William Luther Pierce, Tommasi first rose to prominence as a young leader within the National Socialist White People's Party (NSWPP, earlier known as the American Nazi Party) in Arlington County, Virginia.

In 1969, Tommasi launched the National Socialist Liberation Front (NSLF) as a youth wing of the American Nazi Party. In 1970, David Duke joined the organization.

In February 1972, Irv Rubin, a Jewish militant of the Jewish Defense League, was arrested after firing at Tommasi. However, he was never charged.

The NSWPP had splintered following the 1967 murder of George Lincoln Rockwell, and Tommasi frequently found himself at odds with Rockwell's successor, Matthias Koehl. Koehl, a strait-laced follower of Adolf Hitler, objected to Tommasi's radical viewpoints, as well as his personal habits, which included smoking marijuana, wearing long hair, listening to rock and roll and inviting a girlfriend for sex at NSWPP headquarters. These led to Tommasi being ejected from the NSWPP in 1973.

In March 1974, Tommasi launched the NSLF as a separate organization. The group attracted many of the younger and more radical members of the NSWPP. It used propaganda such as pictures showing the twisted wreckage of a Bank of America branch.

Tommasi sought membership among white college students who felt alienated by both the radical leftist movement as well as the mainstream conservative right. However, Tommasi had not given up trying to regain control of the NSWPP.

Death
On August 15, 1975, Tommasi was shot in the head and killed in front of the headquarters of the NSWPP in El Monte, California. Numerous weapons were found at the headquarters, including a gun that had been recently fired. David Rust, who was with Tommasi at the time, stated that someone had directed an obscene gesture towards them. Witnesses said Tommasi had walked into the front yard carrying a club and got into an argument. One NSWPP member allegedly warned him that if he came any closer, he would be shot. Jerry Keith Jones, an 18-year-old NSWPP member, was arrested for the murder. Jones later pleaded guilty to second degree murder for killing Tommasi and was sentenced to 300 days in the county jail and placed on probation for five years. Another Neo-Nazi, Clyde Frank Bingham, was initially charged two count of assault with a deadly weapon. However, the charges were later dropped.

Tommasi was buried at Rose Hills Memorial Park.

Legacy
Tommasi's life inspired fellow Neo-Nazi James Mason to revive the NSLF in the early 1980s as a leaderless "philosophical concept or a state of mind" called Universal Order and to resurrect Tommasi's "Siege" periodical.

Sue Woodford-Hollick, Lady Hollick

Susan Mary Woodford-Hollick, Baroness Hollick OBE (born 16 May 1945) is a British businesswoman and consultant with a wide-ranging involvement in broadcasting and the arts. A former investigative journalist, she worked for many years in television (as Sue Woodford), where her roles included producer/director of World in Action for Granada TV and founding commissioning editor of Multicultural Programmes for Channel Four. As a campaigner for human rights, world health, literacy, and the arts, she serves as trustee or patron of a range of charities and foundations. She is founder and co-director of Bringing up Baby Ltd, a childcare company. Other causes and organisations with which she is associated include the African Medical and Research Foundation (AMREF), the Leader's Quest Foundation, Complicité theatre company, Reprieve, the Free Word Centre, the Runnymede Trust and the SI Leeds Literary Prize. Of English and Trinidadian heritage, she is the wife of Clive Hollick, Baron Hollick, with whom she has three daughters.

Early years
Sue Woodford-Hollick was educated at the University of Sussex and is the daughter of Ulric Cross, a former High Court judge in Trinidad, Trinidadian High Commissioner to London (1990–93) and much-decorated RAF squadron leader in World War II (who inspired the 2018 film Hero by Frances-Anne Solomon). On BBC Woman's Hour on 8 August 2012, in the feature "Family Secrets" for which she was interviewed by her daughter Abigail, Woodford-Hollick spoke about growing up believing that she had been adopted by the white parents she knew as "Auntie May and Uncle Dick", only to discover in her twenties that her natural father was a Caribbean war hero and that her much older "sister" was in fact her mother, who had been forced to marry someone else: "Illegitimacy was not accepted in those days, and prejudice against black people was rife everywhere." Woodford-Hollick contributed the memoir "Who I Was Then and Who I Am Now" to the 2019 anthology New Daughters of Africa, edited by Margaret Busby.

Career
In 1969, Woodford-Hollick joined Granada Television in Manchester as a newsreader and presenter/reporter on the regional news magazine programme, and she went on to become one of the few women to produce/direct the flagship current affairs programme World in Action.

In 1981, she joined Channel 4 Television as the first Commissioning Editor for multi-cultural programming, one of the priorities of the new channel, where she commissioned a range of programmes to reflect the diversity of Britain's minority ethnic communities. Her work at Channel 4 has been described by Farrukh Dhondy as "revolutionary": "She ditched the mission to complain and ran on the channel, among a diversity of offerings, one West Indian and one Asian magazine show, a black arts showcase programme and then a situation comedy called No Problem, co-written by veteran Trinidadian playwright Mustafa Matura and myself. The brief to the writers was clear – a situation comedy makes people laugh.... Under Sue Woodford the mission to complain was subverted. There were two clear strategic objectives which emerged from Channel 4. More people from the ethnic communities should be making programmes, serving an apprenticeship if necessary. There were, inevitably headcounts of the number of ethnic faces appeared on-screen as newsreaders, reporters, presenters or actors. A fair volume of programming of diverse sorts would ensure or at least begin the assimilation of the new communities into the nation's primary instrument or mirror of self-awareness."

Consultancy and voluntary work
She has been involved throughout her life with many campaigns for human rights and diversity. Between 1993 and 2000, she chaired Index on Censorship, the international magazine for free speech, of which she remains a patron.

In September 2000, she succeeded Trevor Phillips as Chair of the London Arts Board, and on the creation of a single funding body for the arts in England, Woodford-Hollick was appointed in 2002 to the national council of the new organisation, Arts Council England (ACE), and to chair its London regional council, which she did for seven years.

She has been an adviser on Caribbean affairs to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), and in 1998 she served on the Commission on the Future of Multi-Ethnic Britain, an independent inquiry set up by the Runnymede Trust and chaired by Lord Parekh. She has also served on the boards of a wide range of organisations, including Talawa Theatre Company, the Theatre Museum, Tate Members, the Royal Commonwealth Society Contemporary Dance Trust, the English National Opera and the University of Westminster.

She is currently a trustee of the African Medical and Research Foundation (AMREF), Africa's largest health NGO, based in Nairobi, Kenya. She chairs the Leader's Quest Foundation and has served as a trustee of Complicite theatre company and of Reprieve. She is also a patron of the Runnymede Trust and a trustee of the Free Word Centre. In addition, she is a patron of the SI Leeds Literary Prize, an award for unpublished fiction for Black and Asian women in the UK.

In April 2012, in Port of Spain, Trinidad, she announced the inauguration of the Hollick Arvon Caribbean Writers Prize, sponsored by the Hollick Family Charitable Trust and the Arvon Foundation, in association with the NGC Bocas Lit Fest, an award to allow a Caribbean writer living in the Anglophone region and writing in English, and who has not yet published a full-length book, to devote time to advancing a work in progress.

She was named as one of the supporters of the Women's Prize for Fiction 2013.

She is a trustee of the foundation announced in December 2014 in memory of cultural theorist Stuart Hall.

Family
She is married to the businessman Clive Hollick, Baron Hollick, with whom she has three daughters: Caroline, Georgina and Abigail.

Woodford-Hollick is the sister of filmmaker Nicola Cross and educator Richard Finch.

Honours and awards
She was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2011 Birthday Honours for services to the arts. She is an Honorary Fellow of the University of Westminster and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.

She is regularly included on the Power List of "Britain's 100 Most Influential Black People".

In January 2018, she received an honorary doctorate from the University of Sussex.

She is an honorary fellow of Merton College, Oxford.

Random minimum spanning tree

In mathematics, a random minimum spanning tree may be formed by assigning independent random weights from some distribution to the edges of an undirected graph, and then constructing the minimum spanning tree of the graph.

When the given graph is a complete graph on $n$ vertices, and the edge weights have a continuous distribution function whose derivative at zero is $D > 0$, then the expected weight of its random minimum spanning trees is bounded by a constant, rather than growing as a function of $n$. More precisely, this constant tends in the limit (as $n$ goes to infinity) to $ζ(3)/D$, where $ζ$ is the Riemann zeta function and $ζ(3) ≈ 1.202$ is Apéry's constant. For instance, for edge weights that are uniformly distributed on the unit interval, the derivative is $D = 1$, and the limit is just $ζ(3)$. For other graphs, the expected weight of the random minimum spanning tree can be calculated as an integral involving the Tutte polynomial of the graph.

In contrast to uniformly random spanning trees of complete graphs, for which the typical diameter is proportional to the square root of the number of vertices, random minimum spanning trees of complete graphs have typical diameter proportional to the cube root.

Random minimum spanning trees of grid graphs may be used for invasion percolation models of liquid flow through a porous medium, and for maze generation.

As a writer, he penned works in both Vietnamese and French, which included 20 novels, 2 plays and several poems. In 1966, he was declared the winner of the World Literary Prize for his French language short stories.

During the era of the Republic of Vietnam, he served as an attorney for the Superior Appellate Court in Saigon.

Political activity and imprisonment
Nguyễn was a member of the Vietnamese Nationalist Party. A devout anti-communist, he chose to remain during the Fall of Saigon on 30 April 1975, and he formed the People's Forces For the Recovery of Vietnam. In 1975, he was the Judicial Advisor to the Saint Vincent Church Uprising, Saigon. This led to his arrest by the Vietnamese Communists on 27 December, and he received a life sentence. During his imprisonment, he was allegedly tortured and spent several years in solitary confinement. When asked how he survived for so long in prison, Nguyen stated "I composed music and wrote poems and stored them in here [pointing at his head]".

Under political pressure from the United States Department of State, the French Government and PEN International, Nguyễn was released by the Vietnamese Government after seventeen years in jail. He was granted political asylum, and reunited with his family at Dulles International Airport on 3 March 1992, before living with them in Maryland.

Life in exile
In 1996, he joined the exiled anti-communist organization, the Government of Free Vietnam, and served as its Minister of Information.

On 15 August 1997, Nguyễn founded the Free Vietnam Coalition Party, and in June 2002, he was chosen as Chairman of the Vietnamese Nationals Council.

Nguyễn latterly lived in Silver Spring, Maryland. He was later diagnosed with multiple myeloma, which had become terminal by 2015. He died on 24 September 2016, at the age of 92.
