Wilhelm von Grumbach

Wilhelm von Grumbach (1 June 1503 – 18 April 1567) was a German adventurer, chiefly known through his connection with the so-called "Grumbach Feud" (Grumbachsche Händel), the last attempt of the Imperial Knights to prevail against the power of the territorial Princes of the Holy Roman Empire.

Florian Geyer
A member of the old Franconian noble family von Grumbach (a branch of the Wolfskeel Uradel family), Wilhelm was born in Rimpar near Würzburg, and having passed some time at the court of the Hohenzollern margrave Casimir of Bayreuth, fought alongside the princes during the German Peasants' War in 1524 and 1525.

In the aftermath of the Battle of Frankenhausen, peasant leader Florian Geyer was one of the last survivors of Thomas Müntzer's army. On 9 June 1525, he was contacted in Würzburg by two servants of his brother-in-law Wilhelm von Grumbach (reportedly including Christoph Kretzen of the Grumbach-Zobel affair below), who had the stated intention of helping him rekindle the rebellion. While travelling together, they stabbed Geyer to death in the Gramschatz Forest near Grumbach's hometown.

Grumbach-Zobel Affair
Around 1540, Grumbach became associated with Margrave Casimir's son, the turbulent Albert Alcibiades of Bayreuth, whom he served both in peace and war. As a landholder, Grumbach was a vassal of the Würzburg Bishops and had held office at the court of Conrad von Bibra, who was elected Prince-Bishop in 1540. Just before his death in 1544, Conrad gave Grumbach 10,000 gold florins as a gift, without obtaining the consent of the cathedral chapter. When the new Prince-Bishop Melchior Zobel von Giebelstadt asked for the money back from Grumbach, he paid, but the harmonious relationship between lord and vassal were destroyed. Unable to free himself and his associates from the suzerainty of the bishop by appealing to the imperial courts he decided to adopt more violent measures, and his friendship with Margrave Albert was very serviceable in this connection.

After the conclusion of the Peace of Passau in 1552, Grumbach assisted Albert in his career of plunder in Franconia during the Second Margrave War and was thus able to take some revenge upon his enemy, Melchior Zobel. Albert's career, however, was checked by his defeat at the Battle of Sievershausen in July 1553 and his subsequent flight to France, while the Würzburg bishop took advantage of this state of affairs to seize Grumbach's lands. The knight obtained an order of restitution from the Imperial Chamber Court (Reichskammergericht), but he was unable to carry this into effect.

In 1558, Zobel (like Florian Geyer earlier) was seized and killed by Grumbach's henchman Christoph Kretzen who was married to Katherine Biber, Zobel's predecessor Conrad von Bibra's natural daughter. Grumbach declared he was innocent of this crime, but his story was not believed, and he fled to France. Kretzen was captured on the French border in Schaumburg Castle in what was then Lorraine, confessed to the act in 1558, but hanged himself before he could be tried.

Grumbach Feud
Returning to the Holy Roman Empire, he pleaded his cause in person before the Reichstag at Augsburg in 1559, but without success. Meanwhile, he had found a new patron in the Wettin duke John Frederick II of Saxony, whose father, John Frederick I, had been obliged by the 1547 Capitulation of Wittenberg to surrender the electoral dignity to the Albertine cadet branch of his family. Chafing under this deprivation the duke listened readily to Grumbach's plans for recovering the lost dignity, including a general rising of the German knights and the deposition of Frederick II of Denmark. Magical charms were employed against the duke's enemies, and communications from angels were invented which helped to stir up the zeal of the people. In 1563 Grumbach attacked Würzburg, seized and plundered the city and compelled the chapter and the bishop to restore his lands. He was consequently placed under the imperial ban, but John Frederick II refused to obey the order of Emperor Maximilian II to withdraw his protection from him. Grumbach gained time, as Maximilian adjourned the case to the next Reichstag to be held in 1566 at Augsburg; meanwhile he sought to compass the assassination of John Frederick's rival, Elector Augustus of Saxony. Proclamations were issued calling for assistance, and alliances both without and within the Empire were concluded.

Nevertheless, at the Augsburg diet in March 1566 even the Lutheran estates of the former Schmalkaldic League as well as his younger brother John William let John Frederick II down. He was placed under the ban while the ban against Grumbach was renewed and signed by Emperor Maximilian II on May 13. Elector Augustus, prime mover in the condemnation of his cousin, marched against John Frederick's residence at Gotha. Assistance was not forthcoming, and a mutiny instigated by Augustus led to the capitulation of the town. Grumbach and his confederates were delivered to their foes and had to face trial for their misdeeds. Grumbach, after being tortured, was executed by dismemberment at Gotha on 18 April 1567.

John Frederick II's castle was razed, he was deposed by his brother John William and spent the rest of his life in prison at Dresden, Wiener Neustadt and Lamberg Castle in Steyr, where he died on 19 May 1595.

Badminton House

Badminton House is a large country house and Grade I Listed Building in Badminton, Gloucestershire, England, which has been the principal seat of the Dukes of Beaufort since the late 17th century. The house, which has given its name to the sport of badminton, is set among 52,000 acres of land. The gardens and park surrounding the house are listed at Grade I on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.

History
In 1612 Edward Somerset, 4th Earl of Worcester, bought from Nicholas Boteler his manors of Great and Little Badminton, called 'Madmintune' [sic] in the Domesday Book of 1086, while one century earlier the name 'Badimyncgtun' was recorded, held by that family since 1275. Edward Somerset's third son Sir Thomas Somerset modernized the old house in the late 1620s, and had a new T-shaped gabled range built. Evidence suggests he also had the present north and west fronts built up.

The Dukes of Beaufort acquired the property in the late 17th century, when the family moved from Raglan Castle, Monmouthshire, which had been ruined in the Civil War. The third duke adapted Sir Thomas Somerset's house by incorporating his several gabled ranges around the courtyard and extending the old house eastwards to provide a new set of domestic apartments. He had a grand Jonesian centrepiece raised on the north front. The two-bay flanking elevations were five storeys high, reduced to three storeys in 1713. Their domed crowning pavilions are by James Gibbs.

For the fourth duke, who succeeded his brother in 1745, the architect William Kent renovated and extended the house in the Palladian style, but many earlier elements remain. The duke was instrumental in bringing the Venetian artist Canaletto to England: Canaletto's two views of Badminton remain in the house.

Connections
Whether or not the sport of badminton was re-introduced from British India or was invented during the hard winter of 1863 by the children of the eighth duke in the Great Hall (where the featherweight shuttlecock would not mar the life-size portraits of horses by John Wootton, as the tradition of the house has it), it was popularised at the house, hence the sport's name.

Queen Mary stayed at Badminton House for much of World War II. Her staff occupied most of the building, to the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort's inconvenience. Afterward, when the Duchess of Beaufort, who was Queen Mary's niece, was asked in which part of the great house the Queen had resided, she responded "She lived in all of it."

In the later 20th century, Badminton House became best known for the annual Badminton Horse Trials held there since 1949. Badminton House has also been strongly associated with fox hunting. Successive Dukes of Beaufort have been masters of the Beaufort Hunt, one of the two most famous hunts in the United Kingdom alongside the Quorn Hunt.

Weddings and parties can be booked at Badminton House. Occasionally, houses and cottage on the estate can be rented. The estate was the location for some scenes of the films The Remains of the Day, 28 Days Later and Pearl Harbor, and of the Netflix series Bridgerton, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story and The Gentlemen.

Associated buildings
Except for the Grade I listed parish church and Worcester Lodge, all structures named below are Grade II* listed.

Parish church
Adjacent to Badminton House is the Grade I listed parish church of St Michael and All Angels, built in 1785. It serves as the principal burial place of the Somerset family; nearly all Dukes and Duchesses of Beaufort are interred here.

Domestic buildings

 * The 11-bay orangery of 1711 by Thomas Bateman
 * An early 18th century laundry in Queen Anne style, now a house
 * A similar brewery, also now a house
 * The servants' wing southwest of the house, three ranges, late 17th century, altered and extended in the 19th
 * Stables, barns and blacksmith's shop forming the four sides of the stable court, 1878, possibly by T. H. Wyatt

Worcester Lodge
At the north entrance to the park, near the Tetbury road and reached from the house by the Three Mile Ride, the Grade I listed Worcester Lodge was designed in 1746 by William Kent. The part-rusticated main block has four storeys. Over the high central archway is a dining room with generous windows and balustraded balconies; a pediment bears the Beaufort arms and the roof is partly domed. The room has a plaster ceiling by Kent, depicting fruit and flowers of the four seasons, described as very fine by Historic England. Kent also designed the convex mirror with a sunburst pattern. Outside, the ornamental flanking quadrant walls on both sides finish at small pavilions.

Other estate buildings
Several buildings and follies were designed by Thomas Wright of Durham, around 1750.

 * West of the house, Castle Barn is a castellated range of buildings including a barn and two flanking dovecote towers
 * In the deer park, the park-keeper's house is styled as a rustic cottage, one storey with attics
 * Nearby, the Hermit's Cell or Root House is a small square wooden building with a thatched roof
 * Lower Slait Lodge, at the northwest entrance, has two storeys in Gothic style with four hexagonal corner turrets
 * Set on a motte at the end of a main drive from Badminton House is the folly known as Ragged Castle, now roofless and a building at risk

In accordance with WikiProject_Drugs naming policy, I propose we move this page to the INN alteplase. If you have any concern with this proposal, please discuss it on this page. Matt 23:15, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Since tPA is primarily a human protein, and only secondarily a drug, I don't think that would be a good thing to do. AttishOculus 07:59, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I also think that a recombinant drug shouldn't overtake the physiological protein in significance. We have a precedent in Epogen, that is, recombinant Erythropoietin, which is redirected to the physiological chemical from that search. In most cases this seems reasonable as physiological chemicals administered exogenously have similar effects to their endogenous counterparts (although not the same: e.g. exogenous insulin).  A second page just for the drug would be double handling, but I do also agree that the Drug usage needs to be addressed formally.  Maybe a second Major Heading  further down the page "Alteplase: recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator" and a wikiproject drugs format be followed there. I suggest that this will become of increasing importance as more recombiinant drugs appear, and new drugs like alteplase may carry a different moniker than the endogenous protein.  This may even be important enough to bring up in  WikiProject_Drugs and WikiProject Molecular and Cellular Biology if it is not already being hotly debated there.Markjohndaley 15:25, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami

Untitled
I shifted the page here from Bangladesh Islamic Assembly, since the English form of the name is never used. English language media in Bangladesh and abroad refer to the party as "Jamaat". The history of the article can be found here. --Soman 23:22, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

POV instances
Several points in the article need 3rd party citations to prove NPOV. Lot of weasel words and unsubstantiated claims exist. Examples:

 * Imam died a few years later, and since then no protests against Jamaat alleging war crimes has occurred.
 * [Citation to prove this wrong http://www.thedailystar.net/newDesign/story-details.php?nid=3] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.216.86.122 (talk) 16:39, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Jammat strictly follows auditing system in every financial matters in their party, whereas there is no accountability system in other three major parties.
 * No other party in Bangladesh is following their own constitution.

The last line and its following sections are lies even because JIB had most problems among the major parties in getting their constitution in line with the EC RPO. Someone needs to start making this article more credible.

The section on JIB's role in the War is also vague. There are some useful excerpts from Mr. Azam's book but they are more fit for his personal page than here.

Jamaat's Role in the Liberation War
As far as I'm concerned Rajakar was formed by the Pakistani Army. Would the author look into this please?

Ofcourse but members include Muslim leaguers and Jamatites.

Edit by wisesabre
I have removed link Gun culture in Pakistan. this link had nothing to do with the article. and also removed 'is alleged to be a part of the Al-Qaeda network.' because there is no proof of it.You should provide any reasonable proof about this statement.الثاقب (WiseSabre| talk) 15:59, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

No Politics here please
Do not play the game of politics here, please. Only include what you know for sure. Specially linking Jamaat with bombings and then AL with attacking their own office, well, that is just trying to play down each other. Conspiracy theories should go under the 'conspiracy theory' section, not under normal headings.

Agreed Abdurrahman207 (talk) 09:49, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Sources?
There's a lot of assertion in the article, and a distinct lack of sources. Could someone provide these, before this turns into a full-on POV dispute? Alai 17:54, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

This is a partisan/partial entry
Having seen the evolution of this page, starting off as an Awami League rant, I doubt the authenticity of this page. No sources, libelous assertions, and basically a charge sheet of the Jamaat. Note this page and the Awami League page

yeah, right:S The whole world is conspiring against jamaat. get your head out of your ass. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ghorial (talk • contribs) 00:51, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Restoring NPOV
This article is full of shit. I have removed all false allegations against Jamaat to restore NPOV.

"non-Islamic political process such as democracy"

Democracy is not a non-islamic process.

"government which establishes and condones non-Islamic law"

Subjective statement. Non-Islamic laws are not established or condoned here in Bangladesh.

"non-Islamic nationalist and socialist political outfits such as the BNP and the Jatiya Party"

False statements. Who says they are non-Islamic?

"Jamaat ... overtly nationalistic party, whose views and expressions parallel that of Pakistani socialism"

False statements. Period.

"uses the name of Islam as a political facade"

Subjective statement. According to the party manifesto, it wants to ESTABLISH Islam, not to use it. It is clear that "establishing Islam itself in the society" and "using Islam to gain power" are quiet different things.

"however have been ignored by the current government"

Confusing statement. The current government is no authority to deny such allegations.

"Jamaat's political branch in Pakistan"

JI Bangladesh and JI Pakistan are independent organisations. They are not branches as there is no instrumental link. Both however, are subscriber of same ideology.

" Rajakar also raped women aged upto 60. At least 10,000 women were raped by them. Children born by this were taken taken to Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity at calcutta or adopted by Canada-US-Europe families."

Such historical claims require citation of historic documents and references.

"... victims were young ..."

And old, too.

several Jamaat leaders fled to West Pakistan. Golam Azam fled on 3rd December

False statement. No Jamaat leader fled to EP. Golam Azam came to Dhaka from London. But he was not allowed an entry here. Then he flew to Pakistan as he only had a Pakistani passport to claim his citizenship.

"introduced multiparty democracy in order to use Islamic sentiment to country"

LOL! How come democracy can be introduces to "use" Islamic sentiment?

"... still has strong ties with Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan ... mastermind behind a series of deadly terrorist attacks ... against ... foregners and minorities ..."

False statements. These are not qualified even as allegations!

Lets keep Bangladeshi Wiki pages free from the country's usual, debilitating partisan politics
Once again this page has been vandalised by partisan Awami Leaguers. All the sources cited here are from pro-Awami League sources. This is not neutral and defies Wikis definition of neutrality. Check pervious versions. If it was neutral, it would give Jamaat's side of the story.

To user: Rising India
You can’t revert other people’s edits without reasons. I will be happy to talk to you about my edit, please tell me where you disagree. One of the reasons why Jamaat-e-Islami is gaining popularity, which is a fact, is because they are seen as the least corrupt party by most Bangladeshis. This is one of fact that many Western journalists and anti-Islamic-fundamentalist mentions. This is an encyclopedia, therefore this has to be mentioned as one of the reasoning why Jamaat-e-Islami is gaining popularity.

You may think I am being bias toward Jamaat-e-Islami but look at my entire edits. I deleted many things that favor Jamaat-e-Islami because it creates NPOV and this is an encyclopedia, those individual stories don't belong here. I deleted

"After the Four-Party Alliance handed over power to the caretaker government, on the 28th of October, 4 Jaamat workers were mercilessly killed by Awami League workers in front of the media. The whole world bore witness to the merciless killings. The daily star also printed a picture showing a Jaamat worker with a gun, but it was later revealed that the image was taken on the 22nd of April, not on the 28th of October, proving the partiality of the media."

I deleted this sentece which also favors Jamaat-e-Islami, The Mukti Bahini was responsible for the killing of many people, including Jaamat members and Biharis.

I deleted because it is not accurate because Mukti Bahini in general didn't target Jaamat members, they targeted traitors which may happens to be Jaamat members. Tarikur 18:06, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Article needs objectivity
I have just read some of the article. I never heard of this party until today, when I saw it mentioned in a news article and wondered what I could learn from Wikipedia. I have no opinion about it. I am not South Indian and have no axe to grind. Nevertheless, I was immediately struck by the lack of objectivity in the introduction, as well as the lack of citations. I believe this article needs a careful, thorough, and objective rewrite. I hope there is someone who knows enough about Bangladesh and published sources, and is not politically involved, who can do that. Zaslav (talk) 07:54, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Can the section on Bangladesh lslami Chatra Shibir be removed since there is already a page dedicated for Shibir?
I believe that adding the section on Shibir here is inappropriate since it may be explored in detail as a separate page on Bangladesh Islami Chhatra Shibir. If the forum members have no meaningful objection, I would like to remove the section and keep Bangladesh Islami Chhatra Shibir in a "See Also" section. --Mohammad Hossain 16:23, 20 August 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Husain007 (talk • contribs)

Salik misinterpreted
I have moved the following paragraph from the article to here because it misrepresents the source:

"During the Bangladesh Liberation War, a by-election was ordered by the military administration of West Pakistan; it appointed Rao Farman Ali in charge. Ali wanted to reward the rightist political parties who helped the army and awarded 44 seats to Jamaat."

Salik says Jamaat-i-Islami bid for 44 seats, but six other parties bid for seats too, 193 bids for 78 seats. Major-General Farman "tried to work out a formula to satisfy all [the rightists]" but Salik doesn't say how many seats he eventually distributed to Jamaat.

The lasting importance of the by-election is questionable. It was never completed because the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971 intervened. It might have interest as evidence that Jamaat cooperated with the army, as an example of Jamaat's opportunism during the Bangladesh Liberation War, or as the high water mark of their political aspirations. I have no objection to a paragraph on the topic being included, but it needs more information and context than is available from Salik. A starting point might be this news blog, but academic sources meeting WP:HISTRS would be preferred. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:36, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

Silver Star (Amtrak train)

The Silver Star is a long-distance passenger train operated by Amtrak on a 1522 mi route between New York City and Miami via Washington, D.C., Richmond, Virginia, Raleigh, North Carolina, Columbia, South Carolina, Savannah, Georgia, Jacksonville, Florida, and Tampa, Florida. The Silver Star and its sister train in the Silver Service brand, the Silver Meteor, are the descendants of numerous long-distance trains that operated between Florida and New York for most of the 20th century.

During fiscal year 2023, the Silver Star carried 351,732 passengers, a decrease of 19.1% from FY2022. In November 2023, the train had a total revenue of $8.7 million.

Background
The Silver Star was originally a service of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad (SAL), running from New York to Miami and later also St. Petersburg (beyond Tampa). It was previously known as the Advance Silver Meteor, and was renamed on December 12, 1947, after the name was chosen by SAL in a contest. From 1947 to 1948, it was winter-only and did not appear in summer timetables. By 1949, however, it was a year-round train. Its main Miami-bound route went through the interior of Florida, via Ocala and Winter Haven. In peak winter service in the mid-1950s it had a section that went to St. Petersburg via Tampa. Another section went to Port Boca Grande via Tampa. The Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) carried the train between New York and Washington, D.C. under a haulage agreement, similar to the arrangement with its sister train, the Silver Meteor. The agreement was maintained when the PRR was folded into Penn Central Transportation in 1968, a year after SAL merged with the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad (ACL) to form the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad (SCL). Between Washington and Richmond, Virginia, the train operated on RF&P rails. Amtrak took over the train in 1971.

Amtrak era
Except for a brief period from 1994 to 1995 and from 1996 to 2004, when service to Tampa was provided by the Palmetto (known as the Silver Palm from 1996 to 2002), the Silver Star has served both Tampa and Miami during the Amtrak era. Originally, Amtrak operated the Silver Star with Tampa and Miami sections that split in Jacksonville, with the Tampa section continuing on the old Atlantic Coast Line route through Orlando, and the Miami section traveling through Ocala and Wildwood over most of what was the original Seaboard route to Miami. After November 1, 2004, the Silver Star resumed service to Tampa, and now travels intact all of the way, backing out of Tampa and retracing its route 40 mi east to Auburndale, where it heads south to Miami or north to New York. The detour occurs at Lakeland; the train stops there to discharge passengers before going to Tampa and to receive passengers after it returns from Tampa.

In the January 2011 issue of Trains magazine, this route was listed as one of five routes to be looked at by Amtrak in FY 2011 as the previous five routes (the Sunset Limited, Texas Eagle, California Zephyr, Capitol Limited, and Cardinal) were examined in FY 2010. With the discontinuation of the Silver Meteor's former Tampa section (a descendant of the Champion, a longtime rival of the Silver Star and Silver Meteor) in 1988, the Silver Star is now the only passenger train serving Tampa.

On July 1, 2015, the Silver Star's dining car was completely removed from the train's consist, a controversial decision that Amtrak rationalized with the idea that sleeping car passengers could obtain meals from the train's café-lounge car. However, on May 1, 2020, the Silver Star's dining car was returned, and Amtrak introduced the “flexible dining” system to the train, which consists of pre-prepared meals which are then heated in either a convection oven or a microwave oven at the time of purchase. In a Rail Passengers Association webinar that took place on November 16, 2022, Amtrak's vice president of long-distance service revealed that traditional dining service was planned to be reintroduced on the Silver Meteor and the Silver Star "in early 2023." Following this announcement, beginning on northbound train 92 on March 15, 2023, traditional dining was reintroduced to the Silver Star for the first time since 2015. However, this was not a permanent rollout and was instead in the form of a 3-month pilot program gauged to test the success of the service. Southbound train 91 received the pilot on March 17. On June 24, 2023, traditional dining service was formally launched on the Silver Star, as well as on northbound Silver Meteor train 98, and the Silver Star pilot program was replaced by permanent service. Southbound train 97 received traditional dining on June 26. However, coach passengers were not allowed access to the dining car on either the Silver Meteor or Silver Star, unlike on Amtrak's western long-distance trains. Shortly after the formal rollout in another interview with the Rail Passengers Association, Amtrak's vice president of long-distance service stated that Coach Class access to the dining car was planned to be allowed by the end of 2023, however by January 2024 coach passengers still did not have access. On March 4, 2024, dining car access was finally expanded to coach passengers, mirroring service on Amtrak's western long-distance trains.

On February 4, 2018, Silver Star train number 91 collided with a CSX freight train in Cayce, South Carolina; the engineer and a conductor of the Silver Star were killed, and 116 passengers were injured.

Since 2012, issues have prevented Amtrak from moving from their current station to the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC), primarily regarding the length of the platforms and lease agreements. Amtrak argued that the platforms were insufficient in length, as extra cars are normally added to the Silver Meteor and Silver Star during the winter season to accommodate increased demand. Tri-Rail began serving the MIC on April 5, 2015, and Greyhound began using the station on June 24, 2015. Amtrak had been expected to move to the MIC by the Fall of 2016, but in 2018 Amtrak rejected the terms of a lease agreement with FDOT and said it had no plans to move to the MIC. In 2021, Amtrak reached out to FDOT to begin negotiations again for utilization of the MIC, and in February 2022, negotiations officially restarted. Later in March 2022, a test train operated into and out of the station and proved that the platforms are sufficient in length to hold a standard 10 car train. However, the platforms are not long enough to accommodate an 11 to 12 car train, which could be possible in the winter months. In September 2022, Amtrak management announced that it had restarted lease negotiations with FDOT regarding use and maintenance of the terminal. One issue however, is the deadheading move that will need to take place between the MIC and Hialeah. Amtrak CEO Stephen Gardner has stated that "the company is evaluating technical and operational aspects of the move." In an Amtrak Public Board Meeting Q&A on December 1, 2022, it was revealed that Amtrak was in the final stages of its preparations for relocating from their current Miami station, and had planned to relocate to the MIC in 2023. However, additional track area would need to be constructed for the Amtrak trains to turn back north, and as of 2024, Amtrak has no date indicated for when service will start at the MIC.

On July 6, 2020, as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Amtrak reduced the frequency of this train to three times per week as opposed to daily. Southbound Silver Star trains departed New York Friday through Sunday, while Silver Meteor trains departed Monday through Thursday. Similarly, northbound Silver Star trains departed Miami on Thursday through Saturday, while Silver Meteor trains departed Sunday through Wednesday. Both trains resumed daily services on June 7, 2021, after additional Amtrak funding was included in the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.

Between January 24 and October 14, 2022, the Silver Star temporarily added a station stop in Jesup, Georgia due to the suspension of its sister train, the Silver Meteor, which is normally the only train that stops at that station. This was due to a resurgence of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 as well as a further delay caused by Hurricane Ian. During this period the Silver Star provided a single once daily service between New York and Miami.

In July 2024, Trains magazine published that "circumstantial evidence gleaned from Amtrak’s booking site" indicated that the Silver Star and Capitol Limited would be merged into a Chicago–Washington–Miami service in November 2024. The combined train would continue to use the Viewliner equipment already used on the Silver Star.

Rolling stock
Under SAL operation, the Silver Star utilized passenger cars built by the Budd Company and Pullman Standard built either just before or after World War II, and diesel-electric locomotives from the EMD E-unit series. These cars utilized steam heating provided by a steam generator in the locomotive. This equipment continued to operate when Amtrak took over in 1971. E-units were replaced by newer power, such as the steam generator-equipped EMD SDP40F by the mid 1970's. Amtrak began rebuilding their inherited passenger cars in the late 1970's to utilize Head-end power (HEP); these rebuilt cars were known as the "Heritage Fleet." The train began using Heritage Fleet equipment on March 10, 1982, and subsequently HEP-equipped EMD F40PH locomotives.

Today the Silver Star uses Amtrak's standard long-distance single-level equipment: Viewliner baggage, sleeping, and dining cars, and Amfleet coach and café-lounge cars. An ACS-64 electric locomotive is used between New York City and Washington, D.C, while two diesel-electric locomotives, either GE P42DC or Siemens ALC-42 locomotives, are used for power south of Washington, D.C. Amtrak began replacing the older P42DC locomotives with ALC-42 locomotives in 2023.

A typical Silver Star consist as of June 2024 is made up of:

 * ACS-64 locomotive (New York–Washington)
 * P42DC or ALC-42 locomotive (Washington–Miami)
 * P42DC or ALC-42 locomotive (Washington–Miami)
 * Amfleet II Coach
 * Amfleet II Coach
 * Amfleet II Coach
 * Amfleet II Coach
 * Amfleet II Café/Lounge Car
 * Viewliner II Dining Car
 * Viewliner I Sleeping Car
 * Viewliner II Sleeping Car
 * Viewliner II Baggage Car

During the 2022 suspension of the Silver Meteor, some coach and sleeping cars usually on the Silver Meteor were combined into the Silver Star, creating a train with up to six coaches and five sleepers, in addition to the café-lounge, diner, and baggage car.

Route details
The Silver Star operates over a combination of Amtrak, CSX Transportation (CSXT), and Norfolk Southern Railway (NS) trackage:
 * New York – Washington D.C. (Amtrak)
 * Northeast Corridor:
 * Washington D.C. – Selma, North Carolina (CSXT)
 * RF&P Subdivision
 * Richmond Terminal Subdivision
 * North End Subdivision
 * South End Subdivision:
 * Selma – Raleigh, North Carolina (NS)
 * Goldsboro to Greensboro District
 * Raleigh – DeLand, Florida (CSXT)
 * Aberdeen Subdivision
 * Hamlet Terminal Subdivision
 * Hamlet Subdivision
 * Columbia Subdivision
 * Savannah Subdivision
 * Nahunta Subdivision
 * Jacksonville Terminal Subdivision
 * Sanford Subdivision
 * DeLand – Poinciana, Florida (SunRail)
 * Central Florida Rail Corridor
 * Poinciana – Tampa, Florida – Mangonia Park, Florida (CSXT)
 * Carters Subdivision
 * Lakeland Subdivision
 * Tampa Terminal Subdivision
 * Auburndale Subdivision
 * Miami Subdivision
 * Mangonia Park – Miami, Florida (Tri-Rail)
 * South Florida Rail Corridor

The Silver Star uses the same route as the Silver Meteor –the other train in the Silver Service brand –excluding two segments: Selma, North Carolina – Savannah, Georgia, and Kissimmee, Florida – Winter Haven, Florida. Between Selma and Savannah, the Silver Star takes an inland route over the CSX S-Line to serve the Carolinas' state capitals of Raleigh and Columbia, while the Silver Meteor stays closer to the coast on the CSX A-Line and serves Fayetteville, North Carolina and Charleston, South Carolina. Between Kissimmee and Winter Haven, the Silver Meteor turns south to go directly to Miami at Auburndale, Florida, while the Silver Star continues west to Lakeland, Florida and Tampa, before coming back to Auburndale and turning south to Miami. In addition to these diversions, between Sebring, Florida and West Palm Beach, Florida, the Silver Meteor makes no intermediate stops, while the Silver Star makes an additional stop at Okeechobee, Florida. Inversely, between Savannah and Jacksonville, Florida, the Silver Meteor makes an additional stop at Jesup, Georgia, while the Silver Star makes no intermediate stops. However, during the 2022 suspension of the Silver Meteor, the Silver Star temporarily served Jesup.

Prior to October 1986, the Silver Star operated between Petersburg, Virginia, and Raleigh via the CSX Norlina Subdivision, stopping only in Henderson, North Carolina. CSX abandoned the Norlina Subdivision between Norlina, North Carolina and Collier Yard (just south of Petersburg) in October 1986, which required the Silver Star to be rerouted over the CSX A-Line between Petersburg and Selma, then over the North Carolina Railroad between Selma and Raleigh. The Silver Star is to be rerouted via its former routing when tracks between Petersburg and Norlina are rebuilt as part of the Southeast High Speed Rail Corridor project, and reinstate its stop at Henderson, as well as adding a stop in La Crosse, Virginia.

Like other long-distance trains operating on the Northeast Corridor, local travel between NEC stations is not allowed on the Silver Star. Northbound trains only stop to discharge passengers from Alexandria, Virginia northward, and southbound trains only stop to receive passengers from Newark, New Jersey to Washington. This policy is in place to keep seats available for passengers making longer trips. Passengers wanting to travel locally must use the more frequent Northeast Regional or Acela trains. Additionally, the Silver Star, like the Silver Meteor, does not allow local travel between West Palm Beach and Miami. Southbound trains only stop to discharge passengers, while northbound trains only stop to receive passengers bound for points beyond West Palm Beach. This is due to the availability of Tri-Rail, South Florida's commuter rail system.

Since Amtrak ended passenger rail service over the CSX Clearwater Subdivision between Tampa and St. Petersburg, Florida in February 1984, Amtrak Thruway bus service has been provided at Tampa Union Station for trainside transfer of passengers and their baggage to and from Clearwater, Florida and St. Petersburg. Other points on Florida's west coast, such as Bradenton, Florida, Sarasota, Florida, Port Charlotte, Florida and Fort Myers, Florida, are also served by Amtrak Thruway service connecting with the Silver Star at Tampa. Similarly, Amtrak has provided Amtrak Thruway bus service between the former stations along the CSX Wildwood Subdivision in North-Central Florida since November 2004 after passenger rail service ended, as well as Gainesville, Florida and The Villages-Lady Lake, Florida. The former stations that are now served by Amtrak Thruway buses are: Waldo, Florida, Ocala, Florida, Wildwood, Florida, and Dade City, Florida. These buses connect with the Silver Star at Jacksonville and Lakeland.

London Lesbian and Gay Centre

The London Lesbian and Gay Centre was a lesbian and gay community centre located at 67–69 Cowcross Street, London. It was established in 1985 by the Greater London Council (GLC), which donated three-quarters of a million pounds to its establishment.

In 1984 The GLC published Changing The World – a charter of gay rights and supported a number of open meetings in the council chamber of County Hall during that summer. These resulted in the creation of a working group to create one of the few LGBT community centres in the UK, after Edinburgh Gay Centre which opened in 1974, Manchester Gay Centre on Bloom Street (1981) and the Birmingham Lesbian and Gay Community Centre which had opened in 1976. The group included Brian Kennedy, Revd Richard Kirker, Helen Carr, Helen Jenkins, Alison Wheeler, Jaci Quennell, Jennifer Wilson and Lisa Power amongst many others.

Building
After looking at many buildings, the working group located a disused former meat warehouse near Smithfield market in Farringdon which could be suitably converted and this was purchased by the GLC. It opened unofficially in December 1984, with plans to include club/performance space, cooking and dining space, a bookshop, a daycare room, a lounge and meeting room, a media resource centre, offices and other meeting spaces. Plans were drawn up to convert the building to community use, with a club / theatre space in the basement, a bar and café on the ground floor with outdoor patio, and facilities for printing and photography on the first floor run by the Technical Resources Collective and who printed the Centre's monthly diary (alongside) and other leaflets. The second floor was designated as women only space and the third (top) floor was converted to offices for the Centre management team, with some rooms being leased to other organisations, such as PACE. All areas of the building had full disabled access via a small passenger lift serving all floors, a larger (formerly goods) lift serving all except the top floor, and a ramp at the rear between the café-bar and the courtyard area, which overlooked the train and tube tracks. Many LGBT organisations were allowed to use the centre for postal purposes, such as Presente, the Lesbian and gay solidarity group for Nicaragua. Many others used the meeting rooms for regular groups.

As London's first non-commercial gay venue the LLGC suffered from problems with volunteers, political infighting and general mismanagement due to staff turnover. With the abolition of the GLC in 1986 ownership of the building was transferred to the London Residuary Body. Although the centre's management team kept the building in operation for another five years, mounting losses, including a robbery of several thousand pounds from the safe which insurers refused to cover because no force had apparently been used, resulted in its closure and subsequent sale.

Events
In June 1985, London's Lesbian Strength march ended at the centre for the first time and a week later a special all-day event for the Lesbian and Gay Pride Parade was held.

The discussion/support group 'New Beginnings' also met at 8 pm on Saturday nights at The Centre in the mid – late 1980s. This group was facilitated by a volunteer couple (John and Terry) and approximately 20 people who were in the early stages of 'coming out' attended each week. Participants would start with a discussion upstairs, and then come back downstairs for a drink at the bar. The dates and times that the group met in August and September 1986 can be seen on the Programme of Events at the LLG&C for August/September 1986 that are included on this page.

Controversies
One important controversy in the centre's history was over whether to allow SM lesbians to use the centre. Arguments in favour included sexual freedom and the right of people to identify as SM; arguments against included that SM was oppressive, that lesbian mothers should not have to expose their children to it, and that SM practitioners wore Nazi clothing and thus were offensive and anti-Semitic. Disagreement also existed over whether to ban bisexual groups, as some lesbians felt that bisexual men might harass them. The groups were banned for five years. As the booking for the second national Bisexual conference had been accepted "in error" by the Centre, it was allowed to be held there in April 1985. The centre's members voted to overturn the bans on BDSM and bisexual groups in June that year.

In 1988, East Sussex County Council banned a National Youth Bureau publication, listing voluntary work opportunities for young people, from distribution in its schools, as six of the listings were for gay and lesbian organisations. Particularly controversial was the LLGC listing, which sought volunteers with a "positive attitude to their sexuality." J.A. Carter, Lewes County Education Officer, noted that the advertisement "seem[ed] to promote homosexuality."

Brian Corrin

Brian Mark Corrin (born July 4, 1945) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He was a member of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1977 to 1986, sitting as a New Democrat.

Corrin was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The son of Max Corrin and Celia Nick, Corrin was educated at the University of Manitoba (B.A. 1967, LL.B, 1970) and subsequently practiced as a lawyer with the City of Winnipeg Solicitor's Office and then in private practise. From 1974 to 1977, he served as a New Democratic member of the Winnipeg City Council. During that period he also chaired the provincial Child Welfare Treatment Panel. In 1974, Corrin married Joy Margaret Kathleen Cooper. He later married Lorraine Monaster.

He was first elected to the Manitoba legislature in the provincial election of 1977, defeating Tory candidate Geoff Dixon by over 1,000 votes in the north-end Winnipeg riding of Wellington. The Tories under Sterling Lyon won a majority government in this election, and Corrin sat with the opposition for the next four years as shadow Justice Minister.

When the NDP caucus met in 1979 to choose an interim leader following the resignation of Edward Schreyer, Corrin refused to cast a ballot and criticized the selection process. These actions may have ruined his chances for advancement within the party.

Corrin was easily re-elected in the redistributed riding of Ellice in the provincial election of 1981, as the NDP won a majority government under Howard Pawley. He did not receive a position in cabinet being appointed to be Legislative Assistant to the Ministers of Urban Affairs and Justice instead. In 1982 he was also appointed Legislative Assistant to the Premier.

In 1983, while still serving in the legislature, Corrin challenged incumbent Bill Norrie for election as mayor of Winnipeg. He was defeated, due primarily to public opposition to the Pawley government's plans to re-entrench French language services in provincial law. He was also named Queens Counsel that year. He did not seek re-election to the legislature in 1986. In 1985 he was appointed chair of the provincial task force studying the impact of government regulations on business and continued in that role until 1987.

In 1988, he was named a provincial judge. In 1996, he was found guilty of misconduct by a panel of six judges and suspended for 30 days. In February 2011, Corrin was charged with assault and uttering threats against a family member. He was cleared of the charge in November 2011.

Islami Jatiya Oikya Front

Islami Jatiya Oikya Front (IJOF, lit. Islamic National United Front) was a short-lived political alliance in Bangladesh. Formed in 2001, it was one of the three principal contenders in that year's parliamentary elections. Led by the Jatiya Party (Ershad), it also included the Islami Shashontantra Andolan (ISA) and three smaller parties.

The founder of the ISA, Fazlul Karim, declared that IJOF's intention was to establish an Islamic government. Other planks in the party platform included transforming Bangladesh into a federation of eight autonomous provinces, and prohibiting women from becoming prime minister.

The Jatiya Party (Ershad) fielded candidates in 281 of the country's 300 parliamentary constituencies, leaving the remaining 19 to be contested by its junior partners. The front won 14 seats. It received 7.25% of the votes, and accordingly was allocated 3 of the 45 additional seats reserved for women.

The front collapsed after the 2001 election because, according to political scientist Ali Riaz, "all of the 17 seats won by the alliance were JP candidates who preferred their party affiliation in the parliament".

Here’s another image of her. It's low resolution, but the image seems to be a photograph, meaning it must be in the public domain by now. --Berkut 08:18, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Huh, searching using her Ukrainian name produces more results on google image search... Also, does anyone know if it's safe to assume photographs of her (especially at young age) are public domain? --Berkut 08:26, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

In Canada, photographs are clearly in the public domain if the photo was taken on or before December 31, 1948. After 1948, photos go into the public domain fifty years after the death of the photographer. These are Canadian copyright laws, not universal. CWood 14:22, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

Spelling
WHY SOME PEOPLE STILL USE RUSSIAN WAY OF SPELLING UKRAINIAN NAMES. UKRAINIAN PEOPLE WRITE LESIA, NOT LESYA. Oleg 12:57, 04 April 2008
 * Ukrainian spelling uses both. The Cyrillic "Я" can be transliterated as either ja, ya or ia. —dima/talk/ 21:53, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Dima's right, but if there is a "How to spell Ukrainian names properly in English" book, please leave the details here. Incidentally, Олег phonetically would be more closely transliterated as Oleh rather than Oleg, but there is room to debate on that one, too.  One more thing, it's good practice not to use ALL CAPS when talking.  IT COMES OFF AS IF YOU ARE SHOUTING AT YOUR INTERLOCUTORS.  Do you know what I mean?--Riurik(discuss) 02:15, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Note, Oleg seems annoyed that his cut'n'paste moves were reverted. However, there is no reason to. Cut'n'paste is simply wrong since it scraps the history if not for any other reason, thus depriving the proud authors the credit for their writing. Besides, moving articles should be proposed first few exceptions aside. That said, I have no strong view on which version is better. But regardless, editing Wikipedia takes some patience and tolerance. SHOUTING does not help at all. --Irpen 02:35, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * WHAT, I CAN'T HEAR YOU? lol...yes, I think that might be it. Also don't care which one is used.  After checking google book search, the "-ia" ending has been used more often in recent publications (last 20 years) by Subtelny among many others, while the "-ya" occurs, as a general rule in this specific case, in older publications and usually in little known books and/or journals.--Riurik(discuss) 02:46, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I was wondering how folinic acid is commonly derived. Is it synthetic?

Citrovorum Factor
I don't understand why the article has a section on Citrovorum Factor WTF??

Jerome Samson (talk) 15:20, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi. The Synonym section is incorrect. Folinic acid isn't the same as 5-MTHF, L-methylfolate, Metafolin, Quatrefolic, etc. Take a look at the chemical structures and where they fit in the folate/methylation cycles. JDJ88 (talk) 19:37, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

Wurm Online

Wurm Online is a 3D massively multiplayer online video game (MMO) developed by Code Club AB (formerly Onetofree AB and Mojang Specifications AB) in Motala, Sweden. Development started in 2003 by friends Rolf Jansson and Markus Persson, and was released for personal computers using Java in 2006. Both player versus player and realm versus realm combat are possible in the game.

Gameplay
Wurm Online is a sandbox MMO game. Players can perform many different sandbox actions. There are multiple servers to play on, each an island separated from the others by a sea that can be crossed. Wurm Online has hundreds of skills, ranging from carpentry and smithery to specific tool and weapons skills, and even religion stats, allowing for a wide range of specialization and therefore industries to emerge where players can co-operate with each other to achieve goals and complete projects. The game also has a notable religious system, where one can choose to worship one of a handful of gods. The player's favor with their god can be increased by completing various tasks.

Development
Wurm is developed in Java and uses OpenGL for rendering the game. The development of the game was started by Rolf Jansson and Markus Persson. Wurm first started its Beta stage in 2003 and had its official release in 2006. In 2007, Markus Persson left the company. When asked if Wurm would shut down due to his resignation, Markus said "Wurm's not going anywhere". In 2008, the main developer began publishing a blog.

In 2011, the main developer hired their first paid employee, a client developer. This was later followed by a lead artist being hired by the developer, resulting in a total of two known employees as of July 2011. The game was officially released in 2012.

On 21 October 2015, a standalone version of Wurm Online, known as Wurm Unlimited, was released as an alternative payment method, having a one time fee rather than having a limited free trial and monthly fee, and is played on player-run servers instead of the main official servers.

Reception
Massively.com has, since 2012, begun regularly featuring Wurm, often doing live streams of the game and regularly posting news updates about Wurm. Massively have often praised Wurm for its no-limit freedom and for truly being a "sandbox" MMO with many different skills and abilities, criticizing only the "maintenance mode" that occurs when maintaining a (large) deed/village.

Tisthammer examined it in a "First Impressions" review. The distant landscapes were highlighted for their photographic quality, and the main appeal was seen in the interactivity of the world, but overall, it failed to keep the reviewer's attention, feeling that MUD-style text-based combat has been eclipsed by modern MMORPGs.

A PC Gamer review after the official release was critical, with a score of 68%, citing the time commitment required as well as the lack of creativity in what a player could accomplish.

Christopher Steele of Topfreemmorpg.net praised Wurm Online's gameplay and noted that it provides a true challenge to the players.

MMO Sandboxes' reviewer Crescent Wolf described it as a "true sandbox title".

Lounès Matoub

Lounès Matoub (معطوب الوناس) (24 January 1956 – 25 June 1998) was an Algerian Kabylian singer, poet, thinker who sparked an intellectual revolution, and mandole player who was an advocate of the Berber cause, human rights, and secularism in Algeria throughout his life.

Matoub was reviled by most of the Muslim population in Algeria for his secular and atheist politics along with his militant advocacy of Berber rights, so he was unpopular among both warring parties during the Algerian Civil War. His assassination, claimed by the Armed Islamic Group (GIA), in unclear circumstances, provoked violent riots in Kabylia.

Early life

Lounes Matoub was born on 24 January 1956 in the village of Taourirt Moussa in Algerian Kabylia. When he turned 9, he built his first guitar from an empty car oil can and composed his first songs as a teenager. His political and cultural identity was awakened by armed confrontations between Kabylians and government forces in 1963–1964. In 1968, the Algerian government introduced a policy of Arabization in the education system. Matoub reacted by skipping school; his memoirs recall: "We had to give up Berber and reject French. I said no! I played hooky in all my Arabic classes. Every class that I missed was an act of resistance, a slice of liberty conquered. My rejection was voluntary and purposeful." By 1975, he had abandoned formal education. He left for France in search of work.

Musical career

Matoub began his singing career under the patronage of the established singer Idir. He recorded his first album Ay Izem (The Lion) in 1978; it was a phenomenal success. He went on to record 36 albums, as well as writing songs for other artists. He gave his first major concert in April 1980, at the time of the "Berber Spring" protest movement in Kabylia.

His music mixes Algerian Andalucian Chaabi orchestration with politicized Kabyle (Berber) lyrics, and covers a broad variety of topics including the Berber cause, democracy, freedom, religion, Islamism, love, exile, memory, history, peace and human rights. Unlike the Berber poet/musicians who preceded him, Matoub's style was direct and confrontational. Fellow musician Mohamed Alileche recalls:

Despite being banned from Algerian radio and television during his life, Matoub became, and remains, an extremely popular Kabylian singer.

Political events
During the riots in October 1988, Matoub was shot five times by a policeman and left for dead. He was hospitalised for two years, requiring 17 surgeries, including the insertion of an artificial scrotum and the contraction of his leg by 5 cm. His 1989 album L'Ironie du sort describes his long convalescence.

During the civil war, which began in 1992, the Islamist Armed Islamic Group added his name to a hitlist of artists and intellectuals. Matoub remained in Algeria. On 25 September 1994, he was abducted. He was held for two weeks in a GIA mountain stronghold and condemned to death. He was released following a large public demonstration in which his supporters threatened "total war" on the Islamists.

In 1994, he published his autobiography entitled Rebelle (Paris: Stock, 1995).

Prizes

 * On 6 December 1994, Matoub received Le Prix de la Mémoire ("The Memorial Prize") from Mrs. Danielle Mitterrand, President of La Fondation France Libertés ("The French Liberties Foundation") in Paris; the prize recognises those who devote themselves to recording and preserving the impact of political events on ordinary lives.
 * On 22 March 1995, the Canadian journalists' organisation SCIJ awarded him Le Prix de la Liberté d'Expression ("The Prize for Freedom of Expression").
 * On 19 December 1995, he received Le Prix Tahar Djaout ("The Tahar Djaout Prize") from La Fondation Nourredine Abba ("The Nourredine Abba Foundation") at UNESCO headquarters in Paris; the prize is named for an Algerian writer who was assassinated by Islamists in 1993.

Assassination and aftermath
On 25 June 1998, at approximately 12:30 pm local time, Matoub's car was stopped at a roadblock while he was driving along a mountainous road in eastern Algeria (Kabylia). The car was fired upon by masked gunmen, killing Matoub and wounding his wife, Nadia Matoub, and two sisters-in-law. Within hours, news of Matoub's murder had spread throughout Kabylia and thousands of angry mourners gathered around the hospital where his body was taken. The crowd shouted "Pouvoir, Assassin" ("Government, Assassins"). A week of violent riots followed his death. Young demonstrators clashed with riot police and attacked government property. On 28 June 1998 tens of thousands people attended his funeral in front of his house in his native village. He was buried between a fig tree and a cherry tree, opposite the house he was born in. Matoub's family played a scathing parody of the Algerian national anthem, which came from Matoub's final album Lettre ouverte aux...  ("Open letter to..."), released after his death (Gold-Disc). Matoub's assassination occurred a week before a law excluding languages other than Arabic from public life was due to come into effect. Matoub had been an outspoken critic of this law.

On 30 June 1998 the GIA claimed responsibility for the assassination of Matoub.

On the first anniversary of his death, a general strike was observed in the Kabylian city of Tizi-Ouzou and thousands protested on the streets. Protesters broke into the town's court room and tore down its scales of justice. The BBC reported that many Berber activists blamed the government for Matoub's death and rejected its claim that Islamists were responsible.

Around 20,000 people marched in Tizi-Ouzou to mark the third anniversary of Matoub's assassination.

His family have created a foundation in his name to promote his memory, cast light on the circumstances of his assassination and promote the values he defended. Two streets in France have been named after Matoub, one in Grenoble and one in Lyon.

On 18 July 2011, two men, Malik Madjnoun and Abdelhakim Chenoui, were convicted of killing Matoub, and sentenced to 12 years in jail. The one-day trial was suspended twice when Matoub's family interrupted to insist the suspects were innocent. As Madjnoun and Chenoui had been in prison awaiting trial since 1999, they were released in 2012, having served their time.

Political views of Matoub
Matoub spoke out in favour of federalism, secularism, democracy, freedom of speech, the recognition of Berber as a national and official language, and the decentralization of public schools in Algeria.

For a period of time, he was a member of the Rally for Culture and Democracy, an opposition party in Algeria, although he had left the party by the time of his death.

Provide reference
Please provide a reference for this statement: "The ingredients in these products are often obscure, but if prepared from true hCG via homeopathic dilution, they contain either no hCG at all or only trace amounts." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.77.163.4 (talk) 14:32, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't have a specific reference, but my understanding was that the agumeny against any homeopathic dilution was that i you dilute something 10X, the concentation is deceased by a factor of such magnitude that it is larger than Avogadro's number (6.04 * 10^26 IIRC), so there is literally none of the supposedly active agent left - and the idea that even if the concept (I think) of homeopathy is true that the effect itself is from the fact that the concentration is so small.. It still has to be at least one molecule (unless one wants to get into the realm of ideas of "energy imprinting" or whatever else might be tossed about - which is AFAIK considered outside the realm of current biological [atomic?] physics)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.9.143.128 (talk) 02:07, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Edited details of the common testing methodologies for hCG. While lateral flow immunochromatography is commonly used in home tests, other home tests, and laboratory based urine tests use other methods. similarly for serum hCG, nobody uses RIA any more, a variety of fluorescent and chemiluminescent immunoassays have taken their place. Finally, molar pregnancies are only one of the possibilities for false-positive hCG tests, there are a couple o ffairly famous cases where other types of false-positives led to bad clinical outcomes, including unnecessary surgeries. Forgive the awkward formatting in places, I haven't edited wiki pages before. --SCampb29 20:39, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

More Detail on hCG for Weight Loss
Given the current popularity of "hCG diets" online, the weight control section is pretty paltry. I am adding a little more detail and some linkagePupplesan (talk) 07:21, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

12:58, 14 October 2010 (UTC) Prof Mad:- It would seem my writing on hCG was removed by a higher power. As for following the sheep, I created my son of 14 month's, and not Dolly, thanks to this hormone.

Homeopathy is as stupid as Hahnemann. However, it did help toxicology greatly, even if he & his sheep cured no-one. (Placebo excluded).

I apologise if my articles are at times personal, I try to use the third person, only in my writings. :O HELLOOOOOOOOOO

As for hCG being a weight loss drug, I stand on the side of it being pure poppy-cock. Neither testosterone, or oestogen are noted for weight reduction, in fact, quite the opposite, generally speaking.

This is the back door route for obtaining hCG, for the purpose of increasing fertility, since Doctors can't/won't prescribe it.

This presents a dangerous practise. hCG DOES NOT reduce weight. hCG influences the pituitary gland to produce LH & FSH.

The signifant (>95%) factors in weight loss are:-

I have reverted this edit for the following reasons: The sources in question are reliable secondary sources that in turn have cited various primary and secondary sources. Furthermore these sources do support the statement that hCG is neither safe,[14] nor effective as a weight-loss aid[16]. Boghog (talk) 10:34, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Removal of PBB template
Hi Boghog, I'm re-adding the PBB template temporarily to facilitate a statistics collection run we're doing (we use the presence of the PBB template to identify which pages are part of the Gene Wiki project). I'll remove it after the run, but I'd also like to discuss a way we could re-incorporate it. What was the reason behind swapping it for two Protein templates? Thanks, Pleiotrope (talk) 19:16, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Hi Pleiotrope. The reason I replaced the PBB template with two protein templates is that chorionic gonadotropin is a heterodimer composed of the protein products of two separate genes, chorionic gonadotropin alpha and chorionic gonadotropin beta, each of which already incorporates a PBB template. For completeness, this article should contain infoboxes about each of the two genes and including two PBB templates in the same article overwhelms the rest of the content whereas the protein templates are more compact.  Including the CGA PBB template in both this article and the chorionic gonadotropin alpha article is redundant.  Does this make sense? Boghog (talk) 20:01, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Got it, that makes perfect sense. Mind if we leave it in briefly? I'll revert it within the next day or so. Pleiotrope (talk) 21:22, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

 * No problem. Revert after you complete your statistics collection.  Cheers.  Boghog (talk) 04:50, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Clarification on the Legality of hCG
Is hCG completely illegal? The following paragraph starts out as fact but I'm not so sure about the second sentence.

"The United States Food and Drug Administration has stated that this drug is fraudulent and ineffective for weight loss. It is also not protected as a homeopathic drug and has been deemed an illegal substance."

I believe making the claim that hCG is effective in losing weight will earn you a warning letter from the FDA, but I could find no evidence that the hormone is illegal to purchase, consume, distribute or transport (assuming it is not accompanied by weight loss claims). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.100.51.131 (talk) 17:26, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

unencyclopedic statements
74.68.99.173 (talk) 23:34, 7 August 2012 (UTC)Is it really necessary to refer to the calorie range 500-1000 by comparison to Nazi concentration camps? Also, is it necessary to include the ad hominem reference to 'convicted fraudster so-and-so'? Who cares if someone convicted of fraud for something (not explicitly even related to the article at hand) at some time promoted this? I guess if he was convicted of fraud regarding claims about HCG, this would be more reasonable to include, but really who cares about this guy's opinion and why?

This article reads sort of like a pieced together Frankenstein -- An informative/medical perspective discussing fertility uses, bolted on to a rabidly anti-populist diet quackery section on dietary uses and homeopathy, with a little tail tacked on the end from a politely enthusiast anabolic steroid abuser perspective.

About the structure
I want to say about the structure of hCG, you wrote there it's made of 244 amino acid but you also said alpha unit is made from 92 and Beta unit is made from 145 amino acid so the sum is 237. my question is : where does the remaining 7 amino acid went? in many references i found that alpha unit is made of 92 amino acid and Beta unit is made of 145 amino acid but i couldn't find that hCG is made of 245 amino acid.

For example the reference is:

Increased media exposure of HCG as "subversive anti-fertility treatment"
A group of African Catholic preists has accused the WHO and UNICEF of distributing HCG-laced neonatal tetanus vaccinations in cooperation with the Kenyan Ministry of Health. There are currently both accusations and denials.

Stifler's mom
(marked vfd without comment by Grenavitar at 23:33, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC))
 * Strong keep! Stifler's mom is an important piece of popular culture; she has developed quite a following among American youth. 4.224.207.108 23:47, Dec 21, 2004 (UTC)
 * Merge this one-sentence 'article' with American Pie (movie). Neurophyre 18:45, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * KEEP so long as it is embellished to include the name of the actress as well as the sex situation plotlines from the trilogy. 68.55.194.209 00:06, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: This was apparently either never listed on vfd or removed out of process, so I'm bringing it to today's page for resolution. —Korath (Talk) 01:06, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to American Pie (movie). The plot summary there is so underdone that this could easily go in. Rewrite, anyone (haven't seen all of it, so can't really do it justice). Meelar (talk) 01:08, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * merge with American Pie (movie), or Jennifer Coolidge, or both. Not quite obscure to be AP-cruft, but it's close. BigFatDave 02:26, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * merge It is notable but doesn't deserve to have a seperate article on it. MILF.... --Anonymous Cow 02:32, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge the info with the movie (not necessarily the actress, the idea isn't famous because of the actress). Maybe there should be a List of minor characters from the American Pie trilogy. -- 8^D gab 02:48, 2005 Apr 15 (UTC)
 * Piecruft. Merge and redirect to American Pie (movie).Martg76 13:53, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. - MILF - Darwinek 08:37, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, subtrivial moviecruft. Wile E. Heresiarch 22:52, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge to the movie. Radiant_* 13:07, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect Alai 04:14, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep This deserves a much larger article. --Fritz9000 07:21, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
