Alex Cintrón

Alexander Cintrón (born December 17, 1978) is a Puerto Rican former professional baseball infielder and current hitting coach for the Houston Astros of Major League Baseball (MLB). He played in MLB for the Arizona Diamondbacks, Chicago White Sox, Baltimore Orioles, and Washington Nationals.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Cintrón was drafted in the 36th round (1,103rd overall) of the 1997 Major League Baseball draft by the Arizona Diamondbacks. He spent the 1997 season with the Arizona League Diamondbacks where he hit .197 with six doubles, a triple and 20 RBI in 43 games. He also appeared in one game with the Lethbridge Black Diamonds in the Pioneer League and went 1-for-3.

In 1998, Cintrón spent the season with Rookie-League Lethbridge and hit .264 with 11 doubles, four triples, three home runs and 34 RBI in 67 games.

Cintrón hit .307 with 25 doubles, four triples, three home runs and 64 RBI in 128 games with the Class-A Advanced High Desert Mavericks during the 1999 season. He was also named to the California League All-Star team.

Cintrón played in 125 games for the Double-A El Paso Diablos and hit .301 with 30 doubles, six triples, four home runs and 59 RBIs in 2000. He was fourth in the Texas League in hits with 157, fifth in at-bats with 522 and tenth in average. He was also named to the Texas League All-Star team.

In 2001, Cintrón hit .292 with 24 doubles, three triples, three home runs and 35 RBIs in 107 games for the Triple-A Tucson Sidewinders. He was recalled from Tucson to the Diamondbacks on July 23. Cintrón made his major league debut with the D-Backs on July 24, 2001. He collected his first major-league hit with a single off the New York Mets Donne Wall on August 3. Cintrón hit .286 with a triple in eight games with the Diamondbacks, and was optioned back to Tucson on August 6.

Cintrón played in 38 games with the D'Backs over four separate stints in 2002, batting .213 with 4 RBI. He was initially recalled on May 8, but played in just two games. He was recalled a second time on June 11 and reported to Yankee Stadium to play against the New York Yankees. He was optioned to Tucson again on June 26, but returned on July 1 after Erubiel Durazo was injured. Cintrón was returned to Tucson after the All-Star Break but was recalled for the final time on August 21.

In 2003, Cintrón had a break-out season after being recalled on May 6 following an injury to Craig Counsell. Cintrón went on to lead Arizona with a .317 average, ranked second with 26 doubles and third with 70 runs scored and a .489 slugging percentage. He started 90 games at shortstop, 14 at third base and five at second base. He batted .311 with runners in scoring position. He hit his first major-league home run on May 14 against the Philadelphia Phillies, a solo shot off Brett Myers. Cintrón posted three straight three-hit games from June 14 to June 17. He hit his first walk-off home run on June 20 against the Cincinnati Reds off Scott Williamson.

Cintrón continued his success into 2004, where he led the Diamondbacks in games played (154) and at-bats (564) and finished second in doubles (31) and third in hits (148). He was the everyday shortstop for most of the season until a late-season stretch of starts at second base. Cintrón became the first player in franchise history to hit a home run from both sides of the plate on July 8 against the San Francisco Giants, hitting a solo home run off Dustin Hermanson in the fourth inning and a three-run shot off Wayne Franklin in the seventh, finishing with a career-high 4 RBI.

Cintrón appeared in 122 games with Arizona in 2005, down from 154 in 2004. He played in 39 games at shortstop, 32 at third base and 23 at second base. He hit .304 with three doubles, three home runs and 12 RBIs as a pinch-hitter, sharing the major-league lead among pinch-hitters in home runs, tied for third in the National League in RBIs and ranked ninth in average. He hit the pinch-hit homers off Jim Brower, Kent Mercker and Jon Lieber. Cintrón had four walk-off hits during the season, the most in MLB in 2005.

Chicago White Sox
On March 8, 2006, Cintrón was traded to the Chicago White Sox for Jeff Bajenaru. That season, Cintrón made 41 appearances at shortstop, 26 at second base and 11 at third base, compiling a .972 fielding percentage. Cintrón stole a career high 10 bases. He batted .288 with all of his five home runs left-handed and .274 from the right side of the plate. He went only 2–18 as a pinch hitter. Cintrón recorded at least one at-bat in all positions in the lineup except leadoff, his best spot being second batting .315. He made two starts at designated hitter going 2–12 and hit .310 in interleague play. Cintrón hit two triples on April 13 against the Detroit Tigers, the first Sox player to accomplish the feat since José Valentín in 2004.

He batted .243 with two home runs and 19 RBI in 68 games in his second season with the White Sox in 2007. He made 19 appearances at third base, 17 at shortstop and 14 at second base. He also made two starts as designated hitter going 0–7. Cintrón compiled a .941 fielding percentage and batted .244 with two home runs left-handed and from the right side of the plate. He hit .273 on the road, compared to .209 at home. He hit .333 with runners in scoring position. The White Sox waived Cintrón on November 28, 2007.

Baltimore Orioles
Cintrón signed a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training with the Chicago Cubs on February 18, 2008. He was released on March 26, and was signed to another minor league contract by the Baltimore Orioles on March 31. After starting the season with the Norfolk Tides, his contract was purchased by the Orioles, and he was added to the active roster on May 11. He went 4-for-4 in his first start with Baltimore on May 17 against the Washington Nationals. On July 1, Cintrón was placed on the disabled list with a strained left hamstring. He was activated on August 1. He hit .352 at Camden Yards. 27 of 28 starts came at shortstop. Cintrón filed for free agency after the 2008 season.

Washington Nationals
Cintrón signed a minor league contract with the Washington Nationals for the 2009 season. Although he competed for a spot on the Nationals' roster during spring training, Cintrón was sent to the minors on April 4. His contract was purchased from the Triple-A Syracuse Chiefs on April 18. He went 2-for-26 (.077) in 21 games with the Nationals before he was designated for assignment on May 19.

Later career
On July 8, 2009, Cintrón signed a minor league contract with the Seattle Mariners. He played 30 games with the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers, batting .248 with two home runs and 9 RBI. After the 2009 season, he signed a minor league deal with the New York Mets. With the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons, Cintrón batted .228 with a home run and 3 RBI in 20 games.

On February 8, 2011, Cintrón signed a minor league deal with the Washington Nationals. He signed a minor league contract with the San Diego Padres on May 3, 2011.

On May 24, 2011, Padres minor league broadcaster Tim Hagerty announced through Twitter that Cintrón had retired. No details were given; the tweet simply said "Alex Cintron has retired." It was reported on July 18 that he was considering coming out of retirement.

In early 2012, Cintrón came out of retirement to play for the Sugar Land Skeeters of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball.

Coaching career
Cintrón was Manager of the Azucareros de Yabucoa (his hometown) in Puerto Rico's Superior Baseball League (Double A Category).

The Houston Astros hired Cintrón as the club's Spanish-language interpreter, advance scout, and assistant coach for the 2017 season. He served as the Astros' first base coach in 2018. The Astros reassigned him as hitting coach following the 2019 season.

On August 11, 2020, Cintrón was suspended 20 games for inciting a brawl with Ramón Laureano on August 9, one of the longest ever suspensions of an MLB coach for an on-field incident. Cintrón had stepped out of the Astros dugout onto the field and taunted Laureano to approach him, as if to fight, after Laureano complained about getting hit by pitches. Cintrón remained behind several Astros players when Laureano charged at him.

In 2022, the Astros won 106 games, the second-highest total in franchise history. They advanced to the World Series and defeated the Philadelphia Phillies in six games. In the pivotal Game 6, Cintron and fellow hitting coach Troy Snitker noticed that Yordan Alvarez had a hitch in his swing (namely due to his weight being shifted in his front leg) that merited adjustment. Cintron looked at video from a few months ago and saw that Alvarez's hands had dropped in his stance from June, which made it harder to deal with a fastball. Alvarez would go on to hit the go-ahead home run in the sixth inning to deliver the championship. The win gave Cintrón his first World Series title as an Astro.

Prior to the 2023 season, the Toronto Blue Jays interviewed Cintrón for their bench coach position. While the Blue Jays had still yet to finalize their decision, it was announced on November 21, 2022, that the Astros signed Cintrón to a contract to remain through the 2025 season.

Godfrey Place

Rear Admiral Basil Charles Godfrey Place, (19 July 1921 – 27 December 1994), known as Godfrey Place, was an officer in the Royal Navy and a recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.

Naval career
Place was 22 years old, and a lieutenant in the Royal Navy during the Second World War, when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC. On 22 September 1943 at Kåfjord, North Norway, Lieutenant Place, commanding Midget Submarine X7, and another lieutenant (Donald Cameron) commanding Midget Submarine X.6, carried out a most daring and successful attack on the German Battleship Tirpitz. The two submarines had to travel at least 1,000 miles from base, negotiate a mine-field, dodge nets, gun defenses and enemy listening posts. Having eluded all these hazards they finally placed the charges underneath the ship where they went off an hour later, doing so much damage that Tirpitz was out of action for months.

The full citation was published in a supplement to the London Gazette of 18 February 1944 (dated 22 February 1944) and read:

"ADMIRALTY.

Whitehall. 22nd February, 1944.

The KING has been graciously pleased to approve the award of the VICTORIA CROSS for valour to:

Lieutenant Basil Charles Godfrey Place, D.S.C., Royal Navy.

Lieutenant Donald Cameron, R.N.R.

Lieutenants Place and Cameron were the Commanding Officers of two of His Majesty's Midget Submarines X 7 and X 6 which on 22nd September 1943 carried out a most daring and successful attack on the German Battleship Tirpitz, moored in the protected anchorage of Kaafiord, North Norway.

To reach the anchorage necessitated the penetration of an enemy minefield and a passage of fifty miles up the fiord, known to be vigilantly patrolled by the enemy and to be guarded by nets, gun defences and listening posts, this after a passage of at least a thousand miles from base.

Having successfully eluded all these hazards and entered the fleet anchorage, Lieutenants Place and Cameron, with a complete disregard for danger, worked their small craft past the close anti-submarine and torpedo nets surrounding the Tirpitz, and from a position inside these nets, carried out a cool and determined attack.

Whilst they were still inside the nets a fierce enemy counter attack by guns and depth charges developed which made their withdrawal impossible. Lieutenants Place and Cameron therefore scuttled their craft to prevent them falling into the hands of the enemy. Before doing so they took every measure to ensure the safety of their crews, the majority of whom, together with themselves, were subsequently taken prisoner.

In the course of the operation these very small craft pressed home their attack to the full, in doing so accepting all the dangers inherent in such vessels and facing every possible hazard which ingenuity could devise for the protection in harbour of vitally important Capital Ships.

The courage, endurance and utter contempt for danger in the immediate face of the enemy shown by Lieutenants Place and Cameron during this determined and successful attack were supreme."

Place was awarded the Polish Cross of Valour for his service as liaison officer in the Polish submarine ORP Sokół and the Distinguished Service Cross for his role in the sinking of the Italian submarine Guglielmotti by HMS Unbeaten (N93) off Sicily in March 1942.

In 1950, Place took the unusual step for a submariner of transferring to the Fleet Air Arm, training as a pilot and gaining his "wings" in 1952. Later that year he saw action in the Korean War, flying the Sea Fury in 801 Squadron from the deck of the carrier HMS Glory (R62). He later achieved the rank of rear admiral, and retired from the navy in June 1970.

The medal
Place's Victoria Cross is displayed at the Imperial War Museum in London.

Gee Street Records

Gee Street Records was a British hip hop record label started by Jon Baker, Stereo MC's and DJ Richie Rich in 1985. The label's name came from its original location, a converted warehouse on Gee Street (off Old Street) in London. Between 1980 and 1984, label head Baker lived in New York City. After returning to London in 1984, he became a hip-hop promoter, and in 1985 opened Gee Street Records and began releasing white-label dance and hip-hop records. Many of these broke new ground. The label developed a roster of prominent domestic UK acts, including DJ Richie Rich, Outlaw Posse, and Stereo MC's, and US acts, including P.M. Dawn, Doug E. Fresh, Gravediggaz, and New Kingdom.

In 1990, Gee Street was acquired by Chris Blackwell's Island Records. After Blackwell left Island and the PolyGram group in 1998, Baker bought back Gee Street and sold it to Richard Branson's fledgling V2 Records. The label was shuttered in 2001.

In 2006, V2 sold its American catalogue, including Gee Street, to Sheridan Square Entertainment, home of Artemis Records. In 2010, Artemis was sold to Entertainment One Music.

Talk:Succession to the Danish throne

Crowns
Danish monarchs no longer use crowns, especially not Christian IV's crown. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.92.25.183 (talk) 05:02, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

British royals
Surely the British Royals did not seek approval from the Danish monarch to marry in order to protect any claim they may have? Article intro would suggest they should not be on the list???Astrotrain 21:59, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

The line of succession includes several names with the title 'Prince .... of Denmark'. However, the explanation below the list distinguishes between 'Prince to Denmark' (having a title and right to succession) and 'Prince of Denmark' (having a title but no right to succession). It seems that explanation is contradicting the information in the succession list. 11 Jan 2006

Most of the other line-of-succession articles have the year of birth next to the person's name. Should this article follow suit? Crymerci (talk) 09:57, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Royal Permission
I know you need the monarch's consent, but do you need consent before the wedding? Could a Danish Prince/Princess marry without the sovereing's knowledge but then get permission or must all marriage be approved of beforehand? Emperor001 (talk) 22:22, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * According to the Succession to the Throne Act 1953, section 5, sub-section 3: prior permission of King is required.Harlay (talk) 19:51, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * There are two different concepts: permission and consent. Princes and princesses must have the permission of the king to marry. And people in the succession must have the consent of the king in council in order to retain their succession rights. E.g. prince Ingolf, as he was then, got permission but not consent. His marriage is valid, but he lost his place in the succession. --Klausok (talk) 07:07, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Succession Rights of Princess Benedikte's descendants and of Queen Anne-Marie and her descendants
The article states that the then King laid down conditions for the succession rights of children of Princess Benedikte, and of Queen Anne-Marie and her children. The King cannot acting unilaterally alter the terms of the Succession to the Throne Act. In the case of Princess Benedikte was the consent to her marriage by the King given in the Council of State made conditional upon the residence of her children in Denmark? If so can the consent of the King given in the Council of State somehow modify the rights of dynasts under the Succession to the Throne Act? Did Queen Anne-Marie receive the consent for her marriage by the King given in the Council of State conditional on renouncing her rights of succession for herself and her children, or did she marry without consent or did she renounce her succession rights separately? I agree that the issue is probably irrelevant now but at the relevant times it was not. There is a remote possibility that it could become relevant for the future if dynasts were raised outside Denmark. I have tried to research these questions but have not been successful.Harlay (talk) 20:34, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * According to Peter Kurrild-Klitgaard Professor of Political Theory and Comparative Politics at the Department of Political Science, University of Copenhagen, the consent given by the King in the Council of State to the marriage of Princess Benedikte was subject to a number of conditions concerning the residence of Princess Benedikte, the residence and naturalisation of Prince Richard of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg, and the residence, schooling and naturalisation of their children. He says that the issue was raised in 1997 when Princesses Alexandra and Nathalie of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg applied for naturalization as Danish subjects.  The Ministry of Justice concluded that the consent given to the marriage had been conditional, but that this was a legal procedure. Professor Kurrild-Klitgaard says "it is nonetheless obvious that conditional consent is not unproblematic, as indeed has been acknowledged by prominent Danish constitutional scholars".  He concludes that there are "serious questions as to the constitutionality of the deprivation of the succession rights of the children of Princess Benedikte". http://www.geocities.com/dagtho/dk-suc-law.html Harlay (talk) 15:46, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

We should use the official line of succession
I think we should go with the official line of succession as recognized by the Danish government and court rather than include Princess Benedikte's children. The source saying there is "doubt" about their exclusion from the line of succession is a political scientist, Peter Kurrild-Klitgaard, and the only constitutional scholar he quotes is the late Professor Henrik Zahle, who was known for having some very unorthodox views than none of his colleagues agreed with and is only quoted for briefly stating that the children of Princess Benedikte do have succession rights in a general textbook about Danish Constitutional Law without presenting any argument for why that is. As Kurrild-Klitgaard himself says: "It is, however, not clear whether his statement is based upon a critique of the conditional consent given to the marriage of Princess Benedikte or a lack of knowledge about it". That's an extremely thin basis for questioning the view of the Danish state and the court.--Batmacumba (talk) 20:28, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Their inclusion is merely genealogical and helpful because they are discussed in that section. They are not listed with a number, meaning that they are not presented as being in the line of succession itself, but rather in a sort of limbo. Surtsicna (talk) 23:25, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

Edmund Phipps-Hornby

Brigadier General Edmund John Phipps-Hornby, (31 December 1857 – 13 December 1947) was a British Army officer and a recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.

Background
Phipps-Hornby was born in Lordington House, Hampshire on 31 December 1857, the son of the Admiral of the Fleet Sir Geoffrey Phipps Hornby. He was the brother of Captain Geoffrey Stanley Phipps-Hornby and Admiral Robert Phipps Hornby.

Victoria Cross details
Phipps-Hornby was 42 years old, and a major commanding Q Battery, Royal Horse Artillery, British Army, during the Second Boer War when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC:

On 31 March 1900 at Sanna's Post (aka Korn Spruit), South Africa, 'Q' and 'U' batteries of the Royal Horse Artillery were ambushed with the loss of most of the baggage column and five guns of the leading battery. When the alarm was given 'Q' Battery, commanded by Major Phipps Hornby, went into action 1150 yards from the spruit, until the order to retire was received, when the major commanded that the guns and their limbers be run back by hand to a safe place — a most exhausting operation over a considerable distance, but at last all but one of the guns and one limber had been moved to safety and the battery reformed. The citation reads: "On the occasion of the action at Korn Spruit on the 31st March, 1900, a British force, including two batteries of the Royal Horse Artillery, was retiring from Thabanchu towards Bloemfontein. The enemy had formed an ambush at Korn Spruit, and before their presence was discovered by the main body had captured the greater portion of the baggage column and five out of the six guns of the leading battery. When the alarm was given Q Battery, Royal Horse Artillery, was within 300 yards of the Spruit. Major Phipps-Hornby, who commanded it, at once wheeled about and moved off at a gallop under a very heavy fire. One gun upset when a wheel horse was shot, and had to be abandoned, together with a waggon, the horses of which were killed. The remainder of the battery reached a position close to some unfinished railway buildings and came into action 1,150 yards from the Spruit, remaining in action until ordered to retire. When the order to retire was received Major Phipps-Hornby ordered the guns and their limbers to be run back by hand to where the teams of uninjured horses stood behind the unfinished buildings. The few remaining gunners, assisted by a number of Officers and men of a party of Mounted Infantry, and directed by Major Phipps-Hornby and Captain Humphreys, the only remaining Officers of the battery, succeeded in running back four of the guns under shelter. One or two of the limbers were similarly withdrawn by hand, but the work was most severe and the distance considerable. In consequence all concerned were so exhausted that they were unable to drag in the remaining limbers or the fifth gun. It now became necessary to risk the horses, and volunteers were called for from among the drivers, who readily responded. Several horses were killed and men wounded, but at length only one gun and one limber were left exposed. Four separate attempts were made to rescue these, but when no more hordes were available the attempt had to be given up and the gun and limber were abandoned. Meanwhile the other guns had been sent on, one at a time, and after passing within 700 or 800 yards of the enemy, in rounding the head of a donga and crossing two spruits they eventually reached a place of safety, where the battery was re-formed.

After full consideration of the circumstances of the case the Field-Marshal Commanding-in-chief in South Africa formed the opinion that the conduct of all ranks of Q Battery, Royal Horse Artillery, was conspicuously gallant and daring, but that all were equally brave and devoted in their behaviour. He therefore decided to treat the case of the battery as one of collective gallantry under Rule 13 of the Victoria Cross Warrant, and directed that one Officer should be selected for the decoration of the Victoria Cross by the Officers, one non-commissioned officer by the non-commissioned officers, and two gunners or drivers by the gunners and drivers. A difficulty arose with regard to the Officer because there were only two unwounded Officers—Major Phipps-Hornby and Captain Humphreys—-available for the work of saving the guns, and both of these had been conspicuous by their gallantry and by the fearless manner in which they exposed themselves, and each of them nominated the other for the decoration. It was ultimately decided in favour of Major Phipps-Hornby as having been the senior concerned."

The following men were also awarded the Victoria Cross in the same action: Lieutenant Francis Maxwell, Sergeant Charles Parker, Gunner Isaac Lodge and Driver Horace Glasock.

Further information
Following his return to the United Kingdom, Phipps Hornby served as Aide-de-camp to Lord Roberts when he was Commander-in-Chief from 1901 to 1903. He later served in the First World War. He achieved the rank of brigadier general granted upon his retirement in 1918, after 40 years of service. His grave and memorial are in St Andrew's churchyard at Sonning in Berkshire.

Family
Phipps-Hornby married, on 31 January 1895, Anna Jay, daughter of Mr. Jay, of Blendon Hall, Bexley, Kent. They had two daughters:
 * Evelyn Irene Sophie Phipps-Hornby (1895–1993), married Brigadier Hubert Francis Lucas (1897-1990), of the Lucas baronets, of Ashtead park
 * Betty Angela Phipps-Hornby (1902–1982), married Charles Lansdell Tapply

The medal
Brigadier General Phipps Hornby's Victoria Cross and other medals are displayed at the Royal Artillery Museum, Woolwich, England.

Talk:Pedigree collapse

Alfonso XIII
Rmhermen asked me the source for my change of Alf's gggparent's count from eight to ten. I first noticed that the Snopes article linked to from the Pedigree collapse page said ten, not eight, gggparents. I then found this page: which showed a full pedigree. It shows his father had 4 ggparents and his mother had 6 ggparents. (Of course, his father, Alfonso XII, had no more than 8 gggparents by this reckoning.) -R. S. Shaw 22:01, 2004 Nov 29 (UTC)

Regarding "Some geneticists believe that everybody on earth is at least 50th cousin to everybody else."

I User:jamesdowallen challenge this assertion. Most pairs of people are much closer than this; some pairs are much further! First, note that cousins grow (in simplistic model) by a factor of 4 per generation (not factor of 2 as for ancestors), so one would have 4 billion 15th cousins!" This ignores pedigree collapse, but a good guess would be that any two Europeans are closer than 20th cousins.  As for "everybody on earth", what about the relation between, say, an Australian aborigine and an Amerindian deep in Amazon jungle?  Is there any reason to suppose all such people have post-Columbian Eurasian ancestors?  Is there any guarantee of trans-Pacific contact after early migrations?  "50th cousin" implies the two isolated aborigines would have a common ancestor within the last 2000 years (approx).  Is there any reason to believe this?
 * Please read up on this at Most recent common ancestor and its linked pages. Rmhermen 13:22, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Also, that's why the sentence says some geneticists believe ... It's not presented as a hard fact, it's an expression of a hypothesis/theory held by a reasonable number of people in the field. If it said Everybody on earth is at least 50th cousin to everybody else then your challenge would be very appropriate. - DavidWBrooks 14:20, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

 * No credible geneticist would claim this. Fifty generations is not very long ago, maybe 1500 years.  If everyone's ancestors wandered around so widely,  and interbred so freely,  that everyone in China and Congo and Paraguay is related to everybody else,  then people would not look different and there would not be so many different languages.  If you want to claim that "some geneticist believe this",   then cite a geneticist who actually does,  not some bogus website.Lathamibird (talk) 19:44, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Wow - a response to a comment written 10 1/2 years ago!
 * Did you read the bogus website? It cites a number of excellent sources, although not clickable (i.e., printed books). However, you have a point. I am unable to Google-search any first level source for the claim (although a zillion places repeat it) - which is more of an indication than it would have been 10 years ago.
 * Further, I found this argument (http://walkitout.livejournal.com/700663.html) that pokes holes in one of the originators, or perhaps *the* originator, of the 50th-cousin claim. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 21:41, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Renowned geneticist Richard Dawkins notes, in the Ancestor's Tale, how surprisingly few generations separate us from cousins across the planet. Published sources by experts using estimates of the rate of occasional breeding across vast distances even for isolated populations, along with statistics and simulations, support the idea that the number is indeed surprisingly small, e.g. 76 generations. See details at most recent common ancestor, and good explanations and sources at https://humphrysfamilytree.com/ca.math.html, and my recent edit here to more recent studies.★NealMcB★ (talk) 02:31, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

Which was the inbred Habsburg whose "ancestry overlap" was higher than if his parents had been full siblings? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.104.132.41 (talk) 11:27, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Simple example of a collapse
What do people think about adding a simple example to the article? such as:

Mary, John, Bob and Carol each have two parents, four grandparents, eight great-grandparents, which would bring the total of great-grandparents bewteen the four to 32, except for the fact that Mary, John, Bob and Carol are all brothers and sisters, there for 32 collapses to only eight great-grandparents total due to common ancestry.▪◦▪ ≡ЅiREX≡Talk 23:57, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

 * The example suggested (using four siblings) has no pedigree collapse. A person has (normally) eight great-grandparents, and any siblings (be they Mary, John, Bob, Carol or whoever) have the exact same parentage and therefore the exact same great-grandparents - eight, no more and no less, and therefore no pedigree collapse. It would require M/J/B/C's parents to be first cousins (sharing one pair of grandparents in common) for a pedigree collapse to exist. --Pete Hobbs (talk) 12:43, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

German Article that links to this Pedigree Collapse
I User:la loi du récit suggest someone translate most of the German article that translates to this article. I believe a great deal is lost in the translation between these two articles, and I don't see how they easily correspond. If someone can suggest how I might find this translation in work in a different article, then link me to that article please. laloidurécit 31 October 2008 16:46 Eastern
 * There is some intriguing material in the german article - in particular suggesting Augustus II the Strong had only 12% of the maximum number of ancestors going back 12 generations (499 vs 4096). But I don't see a source of their cool table. ★NealMcB★ (talk) 02:36, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

Elizabeth II and Charles II
''Like most people, the family tree of Elizabeth II to five generations has 62 different people in the 62 different positions. The family tree of Charles II had only 32 different persons in the 62 positions. Going back two more generations, he had only 82 different people in 254 positions.''

Going back five generations, you have 32 positions. Six generations is 64 (not 62) positions, while eight generations is 256 positions (not 254). I've corrected those numbers, but are the "32 different persons" and "82 different persons" part correct or also mistakes? XinaNicole (talk) 08:54, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * You did the math wrong. It is not 2 to the 6th=64 like you think. It is 2+4+8+16+32.  Look at this ancestry box to the sixth generation to see.  There is only 62 slots plus the person.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 06:19, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Firstly, this talk-section should have been titled "Elizabeth II and Charles II" for clarity, as it discusses two rulers (not just Charles II), and I have therefore amended the title accordingly. Secondly, the original description for Elizabeth II (pre-Feb.2010, as quoted above) was correct before alteration to a currently wrong and confusing "The family tree of Elizabeth II to six generations has 64 different people in the 64 different positions." The chart on a Wikipedia page titled Ancestry_of_Elizabeth_II shows quite clearly that she has 62 different ancestors in the FIVE immediately preceding generations of her family - exactly as per the original description. As for Charles II, the same 2010 revision to "The family tree of Charles II had only 32 different persons in these 64 positions; going back two more generations, he had only 82 different people in the 256 positions" is equally incorrect, as the total number of possible positions can only be 254. Evidence of the 82 different people would be nice, if someone could find/add a link. Meanwhile I shall restore the originally quoted sentences immediately. --Pete Hobbs (talk) 13:58, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Implex
It is unclear what this word means in English but it does not appear to adequately cover the entire topic here (called pedigree collapse). say an implex is "a person who appears several times in the ancestor tree" while the implex factor is (total possible ancestor count - actual)/ possible. For the writers of MaqPar, it is something different and they have three different kinds and acknowledge using the word differently from "the old-guard Brazilian genealogists". uses "ancestors' implex" for what is apparently implex coefficient elsewhere. seems to use the term to indicate a single location of collapse in a tree. (19:46, August 6, 2010 Rmhermen)
 * See implex. The implex is the ratio of virtual to real ancestors, i. e., describes the same phenomenon, only expressed as a number, while "pedigree collapse" is a metaphor simply referring to the phenomenon as such. That said, I think the definition is incomplete. "Implex" originally means something like "entangled", and the number is the "implex coefficient", strictly speaking, though it may be referred to as "the implex" for succinctness. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 01:05, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I note above multiple people using differing definitions. Rmhermen (talk) 01:43, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
 * All the links are now dead, though, except the Swiss one, which is not very informative and does not contradict my statement (and the definition in Wiktionary) anyway. The others may not have been reliable (professional/academic) sources in the first place. I'd recommend trying to find a reliable source; an introduction to genealogy would be your best bet.
 * That said, I've found a glossary explaining the term in my sense here, on the website of a professional genealogist, which may count for something. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 13:41, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I am not certain that this word has a single well-defined meaning for everyone. One of the links (MaqPar) can be seen at now.
 * I have removed it from the introduction, since I can't find any good references that support saying it is "also known as implex." If it is used by anybody in this fashion, it doesn't seem (without better references) to be used enough to be worthy of the introductory sentence, at this time anyway. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 15:49, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
 * MaqPar does not contradict implex, but again, this is strictly speaking the implex coefficient or implex factor, not the phenomenon of implex itself.
 * The Genealogical Dictionary, which supports my position, was published in book form in 1998, as its author, Felix Gundacker, has kindly informed me. Therefore it is citeable and I will re-introduce mention of the term implex, especially seeing that Implex still redirects here. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 10:22, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

Revision of "How it works" section
I revised this section, maintaining the references and the general and specific example of royalty Alfonso XII. I removed the more arcane mathematical observations and replaced them with straightforward examples.

In a school paper or a conference paper, the idea is to impress knowledgable, educated readers. In an encyclopedia, and especially in Wikipedia, the idea is make text easily understood by the likely readers. In this case, that might be almost anybody investigating genealogy. So use of phrases such as "directed acyclic graph" and "binary tree" and "High Middle Ages" is counter-indicated, since probably only 5% of readers would know what those all are. 98.210.208.107 (talk) 01:19, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Nicely done. Clear and, so far as I can tell, quite accurate. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 01:31, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I disagree (mostly). Conference papers are not written to impress, they are written to spread information. School papers are (in a proper school) an excercise in doing so. Dividing written material into two categories, one to impress its readers, the other to be easily understood and then assigning wikipedia articles to this second category is specious. Furthermore, in an online encyclopedia such as wikipedia, the reader can simply click to open an article on any topic that is unfamiliar, such as those mentioned above. So concepts that may be difficult to the casual reader still have a place in the article. If a version without any such concepts is still deemed useful, then it can be placed on simple.wikipedia.org. It is however a good point that such concepts should preferably be used in a manner that still allows a reader to understand the article also when those concepts are unfamiliar. Reinstating directed acyclic graph accordingly - after all, readers unfamiliar with graph theory might find this real world application of it interesting. Lklundin (talk) 18:45, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

Measure of Pedigree Collapse
Thanks LKlundin for maintaining the "binary graph", "directed acyclic graph" and "High Middle Ages terms".

This article would benefit greatly from a measure of how much pedigree collapse typically takes place after n generations. Presumably, for most people there is 0 collapse thru generations 3 or 4 but by generation 10 on average, how much collapse has taken place? By generation 20? Skates61 (talk) 00:29, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

How can the fact that no new genes are introduced result in less pedigree collapse. That's what it says. CapnZapp (talk) 16:01, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

From my point of view the sentence in this Wikipedia article "If a child and parent to procreate ..." is complete nonsense. --Hermannh (talk) 17:17, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

The Three Tenors

The Three Tenors were an operatic singing trio, active between 1990 and 2003, and termed a supergroup (a title normally reserved for rock and pop groups) consisting of Italian Luciano Pavarotti and Spaniards Plácido Domingo and José Carreras. The trio began their collaboration with a performance at the ancient Baths of Caracalla in Rome, Italy, on 7 July 1990, the eve of the 1990 FIFA World Cup Final, watched by a global television audience of around 800 million. The image of three tenors in formal evening dress singing in a World Cup concert captivated the global audience. The recording of this debut concert became the best-selling classical album of all time and led to additional performances and live albums. They performed to a global television audience at three further World Cup Finals: 1994 in Los Angeles, 1998 in Paris, and 2002 in Yokohama. They also toured other cities around the world, usually performing in stadiums or similar large arenas to huge audiences. They last performed together at Schottenstein Center in Columbus, Ohio, on 28 September 2003.

The Three Tenors repertoire ranged from opera to Broadway to Neapolitan songs and pop hits. The group's signature songs included "Nessun dorma" from Puccini's opera Turandot, usually sung by Pavarotti, and the ballad "O Sole Mio", which all three tenors typically sang together.

History

Italian producer Mario Dradi, along with German producer Elmar Kruse and British composer and producer Herbert Chappell, conceived the idea of the first concert in 1990 in Rome. It was held to raise money for Carreras's foundation, the José Carreras International Leukemia Foundation. It was also a way for his friends Domingo and Pavarotti to welcome Carreras back into the world of opera after undergoing successful treatment for leukemia. The Three Tenors first performed in a concert for the 1990 FIFA World Cup. Zubin Mehta conducted the orchestra of Maggio Musicale Fiorentino and the orchestra of Teatro dell'Opera di Roma. The performance captivated the global audience. A filmed version of the concert was produced by Herbert Chappell and Gian Carlo Bertelli for Decca and became the highest-selling classical disc in history.

The three subsequently sang together in concerts produced by Hungarian Tibor Rudas and other producers, at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles to coincide the final match of the 1994 FIFA World Cup, at the Champ de Mars under the Eiffel Tower during the 1998 FIFA World Cup, and in Yokohama for the 2002 FIFA World Cup. Nearly 50,000 people attended their 1994 concert at Dodger Stadium and around 1.3 billion viewers worldwide watched it.

Following the big success of the 1990 and 1994 concerts, The Three Tenors opened a world tour of concerts during 1996–1997. In 1996 they performed at Kasumigaoka Stadium in Tokyo, at Wembley Stadium in London, at Ernst Happel Stadion in Vienna, at Giants Stadium outside of New York City, at Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg, at Olympic Stadium in Munich, at Rheinstadion in Düsseldorf and at BC Place in Vancouver on New Year's Eve. In 1997 concerts followed at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, at Skydome in Toronto, at Pro Player Stadium in Miami and at Camp Nou in Barcelona. The tour was scheduled to end in Houston with a final concert which was eventually canceled due to very low ticket sales. In addition to their 1996–1997 world tour, The Three Tenors also performed two benefit concerts – one in Pavarotti's hometown Modena in the summer of 1997 and one in Domingo's home town Madrid in the following winter – in order to raise money for the rebuilding of the Teatro La Fenice in Venice and the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona and for the Queen Sofia Foundation.

A second series of concerts outside of the FIFA World cup events held again in 1999 including cities like Tokyo, Pretoria and Detroit followed by a Christmas concert in Vienna in December the same year. In 2000 the Three Tenors toured again performing live in San Jose, California, Las Vegas, Washington, D.C., Cleveland and São Paulo. However, the production had to cancel two planned concerts for this tour; one in Hamburg on 16 June due to difficulties in finding a suitable orchestra and conductor, and another one in Albany, New York on 22 July due to poor ticket sales. The later one was replaced by the Brazilian concert in São Paulo. One more benefit concert was given by The Three Tenors in December 2000 in Chicago to donate the AIDS Foundation of Chicago. In 2001 two more concerts were given in Asia: one in Seoul and one in Beijing inside the walls of the Forbidden City. Finally in 2003 they performed in Bath at the Royal Crescent and later in September the same year they gave their last Three Tenors' concert, which took place at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus, Ohio. A Three Tenors reunion concert was scheduled to take place on 4 June 2005 at the Parque Fundidora in Monterrey, Mexico, but because of Pavarotti's health problems, he was replaced by Mexican pop singer Alejandro Fernández.

Recordings
The concerts were a huge commercial success, and were accompanied by a series of best-selling recordings, including the original Carreras-Domingo-Pavarotti in Concert, subsequently reissued as The Three Tenors In Concert (which holds the Guinness World Record for the best-selling classical music album), The Three Tenors in Concert 1994, The Three Tenors: Paris 1998, The Three Tenors Christmas, and The Best of The Three Tenors. Zubin Mehta conducted the performances in 1990 and 1994. The Paris concert was conducted by James Levine.

Carreras and Domingo have appeared together on a number of other albums including Gala Lirica (with various other artists), Christmas In Vienna (with Diana Ross), and Christmas in Moscow (with Sissel Kyrkjebø).

Royalties
For their initial appearance together in Rome in 1990, Carreras, Domingo, and Pavarotti agreed to accept relatively small flat fees for the recording rights to their concert, which they then donated to charity. Their album unexpectedly reaped millions in profits for Decca Records, causing some resentment on the part of the tenors, who officially received no royalty payments. As reported in the press, Domingo suspected that the record company paid Pavarotti on the side, in order to keep one of their top contracted artists content. Pavarotti denied this, insisting: "We got nothing." Years later his former agent and manager Herbert Breslin wrote that Pavarotti had indeed secretly received $1.5 million that the other two tenors, who were not under contract to Decca, did not receive. For subsequent concerts and recordings, the singers were much more careful in assuring financially advantageous contractual terms for themselves.

Criticism
While the Three Tenors were applauded by many for introducing opera to a wider audience, some opera purists criticised the group. Domingo responded to critics in a 1998 interview: "The purists, they say this is not opera. Of course it's not opera, it doesn't pretend to be an opera. It's a concert in which we sing some opera, we sing some songs, we do some zarzuela, then we do a medley of songs... We respect very much when people criticise it. That's fine. They shouldn't come... But they should leave the people who are coming and are happy."

Other critics such as Martin Bernheimer complained that the tenors performed for excessive financial remuneration, rather than art. On their first worldwide tour, each tenor received around one million dollars per concert – unheard of for classical musicians. In a joint interview with his colleagues, Pavarotti responded to complaints about their incomes: "We make the money we deserve. We're not forcing someone to pay us." Domingo added about the world of opera: "I am giving 17 performances in 25 days. Ask me how much I get for that... For 30 years we have given in blood the best of our lives and our careers. You think we don't deserve money?" Carreras, for his part, stressed how little they made compared to many athletes, pop singers, and movie stars.

Legal issues
The success of the Three Tenors led to antitrust action by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission against Warner Bros. and Vivendi Universal. It found that they had conspired not to advertise or discount the albums of the Rome concert (released by PolyGram, later taken over by Vivendi) and of the Los Angeles concert (released by Warner Bros.) in order to protect sales of the jointly released album of the 1998 Paris concert.

The Three Tenors also encountered trouble with the German government. In 1999, two of the three singers paid an undisclosed fine to the German government as part of an out-of-court settlement for tax evasion. In addition, the German government accused the tenors of owing large back-taxes. Their concert organizer and promoter, Matthias Hoffmann, who was in charge of their taxes at the time, was sentenced to jail time for his role in the alleged tax evasion.

In popular culture

 * Throughout the Seinfeld episode "The Doll", José Carreras is repeatedly referred to as "the other guy", while the names of Domingo and Pavarotti are easily recalled.
 * The Animaniacs episode "Three Tenors and You're Out" featured the trio performing at Dodger Stadium.
 * The Canadian sketch comedy series Royal Canadian Air Farce parodied The Three Tenors in a sketch.
 * In Encore! Encore!, Nathan Lane plays an opera singer who was to become "the Fourth Tenor" before injuring his voice.
 * The trio was featured on the MTV animated show Celebrity Deathmatch, in a match against The Three Stooges.
 * In the Japanese version of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, The Three Emperors of Yliaster are named after the Three Tenors.

John George Pattison

John George Pattison (8 September 1875 – 3 June 1917) was a Canadian soldier. Pattison was a recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for valour in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.

Pattison was born in London, England and emigrated to Canada. He and his family (wife and four children) settled in Calgary where he found a job with the Calgary Gas Company. He was killed in fighting during the Battle of Vimy Ridge the same year he won the VC.

Details
Pattison enlisted at Calgary, Alberta on 6 March 1916. A son had already enlisted and Pattison enlisted, at the age of 40, so that he would be able to protect his son, the story goes. As the war unfolded, he was sent to France while his son stayed in England.

One of four soldiers to earn the Victoria Cross at the Battle of Vimy Ridge, (the others were Thain Wendell MacDowell, Ellis Wellwood Sifton and William Johnstone Milne), Pattison was 41 years old, and a private in the 50th (Calgary) Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force, during the First World War when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC.

On 10 April 1917 at the Battle of Vimy Ridge, in the area of Hill 145 (the location of today's Memorial), when the advance of Canadian troops was held up by an enemy machine-gun that was inflicting severe casualties, Private Pattison, with utter disregard of his own safety, sprang forward and jumping from shell-hole to shell-hole, reached cover within thirty yards of the enemy gun. From this point, in the face of heavy fire he hurled bombs killing and wounding some of the crew, and then rushed forward overcoming and bayoneting the surviving five gunners. His initiative and valour undoubtedly saved the situation.

He was killed in action at Lens, France, on 3 June 1917. He is buried at La Chaudière Military Cemetery, France located 7 miles north of Arras (plot IV, row C, grave 14).

A mountain in the Victoria Cross Ranges in Jasper National Park, Alberta is named in his honour. The City of Calgary named a bridge over the Elbow River to recognize Pte. Pattison.

The medal
His Victoria Cross is displayed at the Glenbow Museum in Calgary, Alberta.

Dundurn Castle

Dundurn Castle is a historic neoclassical mansion on York Boulevard in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The 18000 sqft house took three years and $175,000 to build and was completed in 1835.

The forty-room castle featured the latest conveniences of the day, including gas lighting and running water. It is currently owned by the City of Hamilton, which purchased it in 1899 or 1900 for $50,000. The city has spent nearly $3 million renovating the site to make it open to the public. The rooms have been restored to the year 1855 when its owner Sir Allan Napier MacNab, 1st Baronet, was at the height of his career. Costumed interpreters guide visitors through the home, illustrating daily life from the 1850s. Camilla, Queen of Canada, a descendant of Sir Allan MacNab, is the Royal Patron of Dundurn Castle.

History
Dundurn Castle, a Regency house, was completed in 1835 by architect Robert Charles Wetherell. Sir Allan MacNab purchased the property from Richard Beasley, one of Hamilton's early settlers, who was forced by financial difficulties to sell lands at Burlington Heights (now Dundurn Park). MacNab built Dundurn Castle on the foundations of Beasley's brick home. Once built, Dundurn Castle became famous across Canada for its grand entertainments. Sir John A. Macdonald and King Edward VII are among those who have been entertained there.

MacNab, later Premier of the Province of Canada between 1854 and 1856, hired architect Robert Wetherall and construction of this stately home was completed in 1835. The pillars and portico were added in 1855 as part of the preparations for the wedding of MacNab's daughter Sophia.

After MacNab's death, the estate was used as an institution for the deaf and was purchased in 1872 by Donald McInnes, who sold Dundurn to the City of Hamilton in 1899. On June 1, 1928, the Hamilton Aviary at Dundurn Castle opened to the public. In the late 1960s, Dundurn Castle was restored as a Centennial project and is now designated as a National Historic Site of Canada. In 1996, the Aviary was relocated to Churchill Park in Westdale.

A Strathspey for bagpipes was composed in honour of Dundurn Castle.

Hamilton Military Museum
The park includes Hamilton Military Museum, which is housed in an outbuilding which was relocated when York Street was widened as York Boulevard in the 1970s. Displays include the War of 1812, the Rebellions of 1837, the Boer War, World War I, World War II and the role of women in the military. Artifacts include uniforms, medals, weapons, photographs and other military memorabilia. The museum also features a library with materials about Canadian military history, which is open by appointment.

Grounds
Dundurn Castle operates as a civic museum, and its grounds house other attractions. Dundurn Park and its associated green spaces are favourites for wedding portraits. The Cockpit Theatre occasionally housed outdoor events and dramas.

A large German artillery piece, booty from the World War I, was removed from the southeastern part of the park in the mid-1980s. Until about 1990, it housed an aviary, which was moved to the Westdale neighbourhood. The covered pavilion formerly offered picnickers protection from the cold, but in the last few years a walled garden was put in its place. The gates at the front entrance of the park originally came from England, but the stone pillars were cut from the Dundas mountain. In 1931, parts of the gates were removed and taken to the Chedoke Golf Club.

Dundurn Park has its own folly, just east of the castle. Living up to its purpose, it had confused some people who had considered it a theatre, a laundry, a boat-house, a buttery, an office, a chapel for Sir Allan's Roman Catholic wife, or even a cockfighting ring, but no proof of the last use has ever been found. Urban legend has it that many tunnels exist, leading from the Castle to various parts of the estate and one of the entrances was through the folly.

MacNab was originally buried in 1862 on the Dundurn Park grounds between Dundurn Castle and Castle Dean on the corner of Locke Street and Tecumseh Street. In 1909, his body was removed and taken to Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in western Hamilton. His grave was unmarked until 1967, when the Canadian Club of Hamilton placed a bench and grave marker.

A 360-degree curved plaque was unveiled at Fieldcote Museum in Ancaster on July 20, 2014, marking the 200th anniversary of the most important and largest mass hanging in Canadian history, the execution of nine men convicted of treason during the War of 1812. The event is known locally as The Bloody Assize. The men were taken from York (now Toronto), the capital of Upper Canada, and executed near present-day Inchbury Street at the eastern end of Dundurn Park. Their burial place nearby has not yet been discovered by archaeological research.

A large garden is cultivated near the eastern edge of the park. The produce is used in the castle's kitchen, and the excess is donated to a local food bank. Tours of the castle end in the kitchen, where samples of cuisine of the era are offered to tourists.

Talk:CFO Act Agencies

Testing... this is the fist time I'm using the discussion feature... anybody want to talk?

Why is this a candidate for speedy deletion?
Hi, this is thomas. I just started using wikipedia today. There is a message that this page is a candidate for speedy deletion.  It's a little unclear, but I gather this is either because I shouldn't have linked to it from the wikipedia sandbox, or I should not have used the word "sandbox" in the page title.  In any event, I'd like not to have the page be deleted, as I do intend to do something constructive with it, and there may be others interested in collaborating as well. This is detailed here:  http://www.solariactionnetwork.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=4382#4382  If the administrators, or anyway someone familiar with wikipedia, could explain what I'm doing wrong here and what I should do to remedy the situation, I will take the necessary steps.  Thanks!

Is this for real?
I am not sure whether to take this warning about speedy deletion seriously, but at any rate I have changed the page title to "CFO Act Agencies" till something better occurs to me. If anyone would care to shed light on the situation or refer me to where I could learn more, I would be much obliged.

Wilbraham Lennox

Lieutenant-General Sir Wilbraham Oates Lennox (4 August 1830 – 7 February 1897) was an English recipient of the Victoria Cross (VC), the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces. He was the first Royal Engineer officer to win the VC.

Early life
Lennox was born at Goodwood, West Sussex, the son of Lord John Lennox and Louisa Frederica Rodney, and the grandson of Charles Lennox, Duke of Richmond and Captain John Rodney, RN. Lennox attended the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, and in June 1848 was commissioned second-lieutenant in the Royal Engineers. After further training he was posted to Ceylon in 1850, leaving in 1854 to take part in the Crimean War. Here he took part in the Battle of Inkerman and the Siege of Sevastopol.

VC action
Lennox was a 24 years old lieutenant in the Corps of Royal Engineers, British Army, at the Siege of Sevastopol during the Crimean War, when he was awarded the VC for his:

"Cool and gallant conduct in establishing a lodgement in Tryon's Rifle Pit, and assisting to repel the assaults of the enemy. This brilliant operation drew forth a special order from General Canrobert."

For his Crimea service, Lennox was also mentioned in dispatches and received the Ottoman Order of the Medjidieh (fifth class) and the Sardinian Medal of Military Valor.

Later career
Returning to England in August 1856, Lennox left again in April 1857 for China. His engineer company was however diverted to India and served in the Indian Mutiny. After service at Lucknow, Lennox was mentioned in dispatches and received brevet promotions of major and lieutenant-colonel. He left India in March 1859, and was on the staff of the School of Military Engineering, Chatham from 1866 to 1873. In March 1867 he was made a Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB).

Lennox was attached as an observer to the German army during the 1870–71 Franco-Prussian War, and attended Prussian military manoeuvres in 1869 and 1872. After home service, he became military attaché at Constantinople in October 1876, and accompanied the Turkish armies during the Russo-Turkish War. He commanded the Royal Engineers at the Curragh, Ireland, from 1878 until his promotion to major-general in August 1881. From August 1884 he commanded the garrison at Alexandria, Egypt, and was responsible for landing the troops and stores for the 1884–85 Gordon relief expedition. In April 1887 he moved to command the troops in Ceylon, returning home in 1888 on promotion to lieutenant-general. He was made a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath (KCB) in May 1891 and was director-general of military education at the War Office from January 1893 until his retirement in May 1895.

Lennox died at his home in Pimlico, London, on 7 February 1897, aged 66.

Family
Lennox was married twice. The first marriage was to Mary Harriet Harris, and produced two children: Gerald Wilbraham Stuart Lennox, born on 29 April 1862, and Lilian Emily Lennox, born on 19 July 1863. Mrs Lennox died soon after, on 22 July 1863, and her infant daughter died a few days later, on 3 August 1863. The second marriage was to Susan Hay Sinclair, a descendant of the Sinclair-Lockhart baronets. This marriage produced five children.

Legacy
Lennox was buried in the family plot in Lewes Road (Woodvale) Cemetery, Brighton, Sussex. In 2013 the Victoria Cross Trust launched a campaign to raise £25,000 to restore his grave, that had been neglected and was in a state of disrepair.

Lennox's medals, including his Victoria Cross, are displayed at the Royal Engineers Museum, Gillingham, Kent.

Lennox Row, a road in Brompton, Gillingham, Kent is named after him.

Tebhaga movement

Tebhaga movement (1946–1947) was significant peasant agitation, initiated in Bengal by the All India Kisan Sabha of peasant front of the Communist Party of India.

History
At that time sharecroppers had contracted to give half of their harvest to the landlords. The demand of the Tebhaga (sharing by thirds) movement was to reduce the landlord share to one third. In many areas the agitations turned violent, and landlords fled, leaving parts of the countryside in the hands of Kisan Sabha. In 1946 sharecroppers began to assert that they would pay only one-third and that before division the crop would stay in their godowns and not that of the Jotedars. The sharecroppers were encouraged by the fact that the Bengal Land Revenue Commission had already made this recommendation in its report to the government. The movement resulted in clashes between Jotedars and Bargadars (sharecroppers). As a response to the agitation, the Muslim League ministry in the province launched the Bargadari Act, which provided that the share of the harvest given to the landlords would be limited to one third of the total. However, the law was not fully implemented. The Bengal Land Revenue Commission popularly known as Floud Commission had made recommendation in favour of the share-croppers.

The movement in 24 Parganas
During the Bengal Famine of 1943 the Communist Party of India provided relief to the peasantry of the Sundarbans area. In September 1946 Bangiya Pradeshik Kisan Sabha decided to launch the Tebhaga movement. The peasant movement broke out in Kakdwip, Sonarpur, Bhangar and Canning. Kakdwip and Namkhana were the storm centres of the movement. The movement aimed at improving the share of the peasant engaged as sharecroppers. The movement continued till 1950, when the Bargadari Act was enacted. The Act recognised the right of the sharecropper to two-thirds of the produce when he provided the inputs. During 1946-1950 the Tebhaga movement in several parts of the 24 Parganas district led to the enactment of the Bargadari Act. Although the Bargadari Act of 1950 recognised the rights of bargadars to a higher share of crops from the land that they tilled, it was not implemented. Large tracts, beyond the prescribed limit of land ceiling, remained with the rich landlords. In 1967, West Bengal witnessed peasant uprising, against non-implementation of land reforms legislation, starting from Kheadaha gram panchayat in Sonarpur CD block. From 1977 onwards major land reforms took place in West Bengal under the Left Front government. Land in excess of land ceiling was acquired and distributed amongst the peasants. Subsequently, “Operation Barga” was aimed at securing tenancy rights for the peasants.

In Both Bengals
Hindus and Muslims alike participated in this peasant movement, avoiding the riots and communal hatred of forty-six years. The principle of Indian Communist Party was peasant unity on the basis of which the Tebhaga movement spread from district to district leaving aside all fratricidal feuds. Peasant struggles in East and West Bengal were united through the formation of associations, the formation of women workers, struggle funds and political education classes. Farmers from the remote areas of Sundarbans to various parts of North Bengal raised their demand for Tevaga. The main leaders of this movement include Kansari Halder, Ganesh Das, Ajit Bose, Bishnu Chattopadhyay, Ila Mitra, Haji Mohammad Danesh, Debaprasad Ghosh (Patal Ghosh), Sushil Sen, Noor Jalal, Krishnavinod Roy, Bimal Dasgupta, Bhupal Panda, Rupanarayan Roy, Dr. Ganendranath Sarkar, Kali Sarkar. Wide participation of women was one of the characteristics of Tevaga. The first martyrs of Tevaga movement were Samir Uddin and Shivram Majhi of Talpukur village of Chirirbandar upazila of Dinajpur district. Samir Uddin was a Muslim and Shivram Majhi belonged to the tribal Hasda community.

Impact
Hare Krishna Konar played a leading role in getting surplus land held by big land owners in excess of land ceiling laws and kept ‘benami’ (or false names) vested with the state. The quantum of land thus vested was around one million acres (4,000 km²) of good agricultural land. Subsequently, under the leadership of Benoy Choudhury, this land was distributed amongst 2.4 million landless and poor farmers.

Triflate

In organic chemistry, triflate (systematic name: trifluoromethanesulfonate), is a functional group with the formula R\sOSO2CF3 and structure R\sO\sS(\dO)2\sCF3. The triflate group is often represented by \sOTf, as opposed to −Tf, which is the triflyl group, R\sSO2CF3. For example, n-butyl triflate can be written as CH3CH2CH2CH2OTf.

The corresponding triflate anion, CF3SO3-, is an extremely stable polyatomic ion; this comes from the fact that triflic acid (CF3SO3H) is a superacid; i.e. it is more acidic than pure sulfuric acid, already one of the strongest acids known.

Applications
A triflate group is an excellent leaving group used in certain organic reactions such as nucleophilic substitution, Suzuki couplings and Heck reactions. Since alkyl triflates are extremely reactive in SN2 reactions, they must be stored in conditions free of nucleophiles (such as water). The anion owes its stability to resonance stabilization which causes the negative charge to be spread symmetrically over the three oxygen atoms. An additional stabilization is achieved by the trifluoromethyl group, which acts as a strong electron-withdrawing group using the sulfur atom as a bridge.

Triflates have also been applied as ligands for group 11 and 13 metals along with lanthanides.

Lithium triflates are used in some lithium ion batteries as a component of the electrolyte.

A mild triflating reagent is phenyl triflimide or N,N-bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)aniline, where the by-product is [CF3SO2N−Ph]−.

Triflate salts
Triflate salts are thermally very stable with melting points up to 350 °C for sodium, boron and silver salts especially in water-free form. They can be obtained directly from triflic acid and the metal hydroxide or metal carbonate in water. Alternatively, they can be obtained from reacting metal chlorides with neat triflic acid or silver triflate, or from reacting barium triflate with metal sulfates in water:

Metal triflates are used as Lewis acid catalysts in organic chemistry. Especially useful are the lanthanide triflates of the type Ln(OTf)3 (where Ln is a lanthanoid). A related popular catalyst scandium triflate is used in such reactions as aldol reactions and Diels–Alder reactions. An example is the Mukaiyama aldol addition reaction between benzaldehyde and the silyl enol ether of cyclohexanone with an 81% chemical yield. The corresponding reaction with the yttrium salt fails:

Triflate is a commonly used weakly coordinating anion.

Talk:Dr. Axel Lennart Wenner-Gren

I understand that this entry has been removed because the text entered was copied from a source that appears to have been already on Wikipedia, although under a different heading. (smart system)

Anyway, anything I rewrote would naturally be based on the same facts, some which I knew, some I didn't. So it's still copying.

The primary purpose here was to make this entry, orginally under Swedish Entrepreneurs where it should be, even though I noticed on making the entry that the Alweg entry does name him.

I could just make the entry and link to Alweg and let that be the main data perhaps, and maybe come up with some additional information if I think it should be entered afterwards, but I don't see any point in just rewriting what is already there, but under "copyright".

Alternatively, I could ask the Alweg poster if they have a problem using their text under this entry also?

Please advise.

PS. In case it's relevant, I came across this "omission" of Wenner-Gren when browsing a list of Swedish entries and realized he should be there, and the reason for my interest is that I knew him when I was a young boy, but that's another story.

 * Hi. I'm not sure I understand exactly what you are saying. I am not aware of the other source to which you are referring; no copyrighted material should be on Wikipedia. I will try to explain; also, I assume that you (Lindroth) are the same person who initially created the article (65.32.237.110), perhaps before you had registered (due to 65's previous comment here, which you erased).

 * Initially, you wrote an article, which it appears was directly copied-and-pasted from http://www.alweg.com/pages/424727/. It is a violation of copyright law to use anothers copyrighted work; you cannot just copy someone else's writing without giving attribution. They "system" caught it in the sense that another alert user noticed the copyright violation and flagged the article as a possible copyright violation. However, four minutes later, it appears you removed the copyright notice and restored the article; this may have been done accidentally. Some time later, I came along and noticed that the article was using copyrighted text; when I checked the history I saw that someone had already flagged it but that the notice had been removed. I then restored the notice. That is why the text was removed: because it appears to have been copied from another web site, not because it appears somewhere else on Wikipedia (if it does, please let me know; we cannot have copyrighted text here).

 * In regards to "Anyway, anything I rewrote would naturally be based on the same facts, some which I knew, some I didn't. So it's still copying.", I suppose it depends what you mean by copying. It certainly is not copying in the sense of copy-and-paste that I've been using. Nor would it necessarily violate copyright. See Copyrights and especially the section on using copyrighted works from others.

 * Please do not just create an article with an external link; it will be quickly deleted. I would definitely encourage you to write additional content. I'm sorry you don't see the point of writing your own original work, instead of just copying others'. However, that's what Wikipedia is all about. I do hope you will decide to contribute, since you appear to have a good interest and knowledge on this subject.

 * And yes, you may ask the author or copyright holder of the article on the external web site if he or she would mind releasing it under the GFDL as described in Copyrights. If so, you can document it on this talk page and the article will be restored. I know this is confusing; please read the copyrights section so you understand these issues, and then we can answer any further questions. Also, it is considered good form to sign your comments using four tildes like this: ~ — this will add your username and a timestamp. — [[User:Knowledge Seeker|Knowledge Seeker দ (talk)]] 05:01, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. To answer your question re the deletion of the flag, yes I did that initially but because I did not understand what it meant and thought that I had made an error as it was my first submission.

As to the copyright, I had been given that material from another source and my earlier search of Wikipedia did not find it, for whatever keyword typing reason.

Why don't we just start this again?

Please delete the text for the Dr. Axel Lennart Wenner-Gren (leaving the entry if possible) and I'll come up with some other commentary instead, but I presume it's OK to use internal links to the Alweg listing where the current text is duplicated?Lindroth 14:27, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * I am afraid we are having some miscommunication; I don't fully follow you. When you say you got the material from another source, that is why it is a (potential) copyright violation. All material on Wikipedia should be either your own original contribution, or work that the copyright holder or author is willing to release under the terms of the Gnu Free Document License. It certainly is all right to use internal links to link to other articles, but I unfortunately do not know to which article you are referring. Are you saying there is somewhere else on Wikipedia with the same text that you put in the original article? If so, could you tell me the name?

 * I think starting over sounds good; however, I have no power to delete the article. What normally happens is that it will be reviewed—probably not for another week at least. If it is judged a copyright violation, then the original page will be removed and the contents of the temporary page (which you've been working on) will be put in its place. If it is not judged a copyright violation, the original page will be restored. Does this make sense? Please see Copyrights for more information. — [[User:Knowledge Seeker|Knowledge Seeker দ (talk)]] 08:59, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * I didn't realize that the temporary page redirects to Axel Wenner-Gren. That's probably a good thing, since that name is probably more consistent with the naming of articles after people on Wikipedia. Go ahead and continue to work on Axel Wenner-Gren, and don't worry about this page for now. If it gets deleted, the redirect on the temporary page should be moved here (or you can create it once the original content is removed). If not, the original page will be restored. — [[User:Knowledge Seeker|Knowledge Seeker দ (talk)]] 09:02, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Tony Miller (California politician)

Tony Miller (born June 28, 1948) is an American attorney and former California Secretary of State. A member of the Democratic Party, he served as Chief Deputy Secretary of State from 1981 to 1994 and then California Secretary of State from 1994 to 1995. Miller was a longtime public servant, Eagle Scout, and volunteer firefighter.

Biography
Miller was raised in the small town of Chester, California. He was elected student body president at his high school. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of California, Davis in 1970 and in 1973 received his J.D. degree from the University of California (Boalt Hall) School of Law at Berkeley. Miller has also worked as a legislative aide, criminal investigator, and college instructor.

Miller served as chairman of the Plumas County Democratic Central Committee during law school, and subsequently as an appointed member of the state's newly created Fair Political Practices Commission (1975–76). Before becoming chief deputy to former Secretary of State March Fong Eu, Miller served as the Secretary of State's chief legal counsel (1976–81). In 1994, March Fong Eu resigned to become United States Ambassador to the Federated States of Micronesia, leaving Miller as Acting Secretary of State. As Chief Deputy Secretary of State, Miller built a solid reputation for smooth, efficient and fairly run statewide elections, and for the administration of one of the best-run agencies in state government. He ran for election to the post, winning the Democratic primary over Los Angeles Assemblywoman Gwen Moore and former Los Angeles City Councilman (1985-1993) and 1993 mayoral election runner-up Mike Woo, but lost in a very close general election to Bill Jones.

In 1998, Miller ran in the Democratic primary for Lieutenant Governor of California, but lost the nomination to the Assembly Speaker, Cruz Bustamante. Miller then returned to private practice.

After the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) was passed by Congress in 2002, Miller was appointed by California Secretary of State Kevin Shelley to lead the implementation of HAVA in California. In 2004, Miller served as special counsel to Shelley when Shelley was accused of misappropriating federal HAVA funds for his own purposes. Shelley eventually resigned in 2005.

Miller is a lifelong Californian, an avid runner, avid farmer, and craftsman. He is openly gay and has been in a relationship since 1973. He and his husband live on a small farm in Sutter County, near Sacramento.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

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

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

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

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:50, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
