Family tree for Lorcan will be forthcoming Fergananim

Images of Saint Lawrence O'Toole
A good source is with Diocese of Dublin but I have been unable to check the copyright status --Henri 07:18, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Language - shouldn't Lorcán Ua Tuathail be in English?
As a point of discussion - we know that St Laurence O'Toole is the English version of the name and Lorcán Ua Tuathail is the Irish version - one could say, the true version. However, this is the English version of Wikipedia. So, shouldn't we see the English name here? To allow readability for English speakers across the world, doesn't the inclusion of so many Irish words detract from the the meaning of the article as a whole? Throughout the world people know him as St Laurence O'Toole In reality, most people have never heard of him - but they're not likely to either if his name is only written in Irish (Goidelic). Perhaps there are some Wiki-policies on the subject. I know that common names are encouraged and perhaps that's an argument for using the English version. But before you get on your high horse and demand the recognition of the Irish language from before those English colonialists got their hands on ... etc. etc. - this is just a point of discussion for the clarity of this article. If only those people in Ireland who can understand Gaelic can find and read this article, its not doing its job as an encyclodedic article. Francis Hannaway (talk) Francis Hannaway 09:26, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

 * I do not think that there is much point in giving him a name in a language he most likely never understood during his lifetime. Actual scholarly literature like the work by Pádraig Ó Riain, A Dictionary of Irish Saints, Four Courts Press, Dublin 2011, lists him under Lorcán. --AFBorchert (talk) 11:43, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your brief contribution. Given that the majority of readers are American, then put that together with the populations of other English speaking countries - you can probably include India and the Philipines in there, do you think many people will equate Lorcán with Laurence? The book you are quoting was written by an Irishman for an Irish audience. The people of England din't even speak English (as we know it) at the time of Lorcán's canonisation. This is about access to the article by the greatest number of people. But thank you for being the first - and your views are very welcome. Francis Hannaway (talk) Francis Hannaway 14:49, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
 * The usage of the name Lorcán Ua Tuathail is not restricted to Irish people for Irish audiences. Next example: Richard Sharpe: Medieval Irish Saint's Lives: An Introduction to Vitae Sanctorum Hiberniae, Clarendon Press, Oxford 1991, p. 395. As far as I can see, the entire recent scholarly literature about Ireland refers to the Irish names and refers additionally to Anglicized names only where they have been extraordinarily common. This is the same practice which we find applied in this article where St Laurence O'Toole is given as an alternate name in the leading paragraph and where a corresponding redirect exists. --AFBorchert (talk) 15:26, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
 * In fact, the article uses his Irish name only in the title - the rest of the article says "Lawrence" (even though it should be Laurence). RTE calls him Laurence - and they are an official organ of the Irish government. Francis Hannaway (talk) Francis Hannaway 15:34, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
 * RTE is a state-sponsored body, this does not make it an official organ of the Irish government. I just looked for the saint in the 1929 monumental work of James F. Kenney, The Sources for the Early History of Ireland: Ecclesiastical, where in the register O'Toole, Laurence refers to Lorcan Úa Tuathail much like the redirection here. And Kenney was a Canadian historian and this book was published by Columbia University Press, New York. --AFBorchert (talk) 16:31, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you, AFBorchert. You have made a good point. Now, if we wait a little, we will be able to see, a) if anyone else supports either opinion, and b) if more people than just the two of us can actually find St Laurence O'Toole on Wikipedia. Best wishes ~ Francis Hannaway (talk) Francis Hannaway 21:24, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Nobody reads this page because it's not in English
I'd like to raise the issue of language again. Nobody is visting this page because they are looking for the English language name Saint Lawrence O'Toole and not Lorcán Ua Tuathail. English language Wikipedia needs to be in English. Francis Hannaway (talk) 12:19, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, he should be in English in the English wikipedia. We don't have an article named Pyotr Velikiy, we have Peter the Great that also mentions Pyotr Velikiy as his name in Russian.78.19.219.90 (talk) 10:29, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

About me
Hi! I'm a collegiate Wikipedian, just like Imax80. I live somewhere in the southeast. I'm especially a fan of Walt Disney Pictures, the Walt Disney Classics series, The Terminator, Nurse Angel Ririka SOS, Pokémon, Clint Eastwood, CLAMP, Weird Al Yankovic, Star Wars, Studio Ghibli, M*A*S*H, Star Trek, Lupin III, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Pretty Cure, anime, and the Spanish language. I also enjoy extremely rare and scarce logos (i.e. Thorn/EMI Home Video 1978, MGM/CBS Home Video 1980, Paramount Home Video 1976, WCI Home Video 1978, Columbia Pictures Home Entertainment 1979, Magnetic Video 1977, MCA Videocassette, Inc. 1980, etc.)

My Immense Collection of Disney Videos (1980-1997)
-Walt Disney Home Video-

 * Pete's Dragon (10/21/80, 4/2/85, and 5/23/91) (my copies printed 5/28/83 and 9/19/86) (my copy (1980) #04165)
 * The first cassette uses the blue "FBI" warning and a blue "Licensed", then the 1978 Neon Mickey. Film logo is 1966 Buena Vista logo. No MPAA rating. 1982 Disney promo at the end. Must've been added on the sale copies after 1982, so mine must be a remaster although it STILL IS the first Disney Video release EVER. For sale only. Not intended for rental. Label is half-way torn off. The second cassette features the red FBI warnings followed by the 1983 Neon Mickey. The third cassette features the red FBI warnings and Sorcerer Mickey's logo. Rated G.

 * The Black Hole (10/21/80) (my copy printed 9/10/83)
 * Uses the blue warnings, then the 1978 Neon Mickey. Film logo is customized Buena Vista logo (typed in red at the beginning of the film). No MPAA rating. No "For Sale Only" bumper. For sale only. Not intended for rental. 1982 Disney promo at the end... Whoa! Talk about a shocker! Parts had been edited out of the promo on this tape! Label is peeling. Rated PG.

 * The Love Bug (10/21/80, 10/27/85, and 10/27/85) (my copies printed 8/22/85 and 8/22/85) (my copies #09091 and #09092)
 * The first videocassette uses the 1983 warnings (didn't want to surprise you about my find for a time), then the 1978 Neon Mickey. Film logo is 1960 Buena Vista logo. No MPAA rating. No "For Sale Only" bumper. For sale only. Not intended for rental. 1982 Disney promo at the end. Label is peeling. The second videocassette uses the 1984 FBI warnings and the 1983 Neon Mickey... yet uses the 1980 cover art! 1982 Disney promo at the end. The third videocassette is a carbon copy of the second. Rated G.

 * Escape to Witch Mountain (10/21/80, 10/21/80 and 6/25/86) (my copy (10/21/80) printed 2/25/83)
 * The first two use the blue warnings, then the 1978 Neon Mickey. Film logo is 1966 Buena Vista logo. No MPAA rating. For sale only. Not intended for rental. The first one's a Beta tape, and the second one uses the 1982 Disney promo at the end. The third one uses a rounded clamshell and the red FBI warnings and 1983 Neon Mickey. Rated G.

 * Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier (10/21/80 and 6/24/85)
 * The first one uses the blue FBI warning and "Licensed" screen and 1978 Neon Mickey. Film logo is customized Buena Vista logo. The second one begins right in the middle of the opening credits... right where you least expect a videocassette to begin! Label is half-way torn off. Rated G.

 * Uses the red FBI screens and 1983 Neon Mickey.

 * The Happiest Millionaire (5/28/86)

 * Uses the red FBI and "Licensed" screen as well as the 1983 Neon Mickey. In living color. Packaged in a cardboard slipcase. Rated G.

 * Disney Sing-Along Songs: Under the Sea (8/14/90 and 8/14/90)
 * Both copies use the red FBI screens, Disneyland 35th Anniversary, Sorcerer Mickey and at the end an advertisement for Vols. 1-6, but the first copy has the correct label and a white release button for the black hinged flap instead of a black release button.

 * The first Classics edition uses the original black clamshell, the red FBI warning and "Licensed" screen, and the cheesy diamond. 1982 Disney promo at the end (come to think of it, Imax80, it might not be strange at all that your 1985 black clamshell of Dumbo uses the 1982 Disney promo). The second Classics edition has the red FBI warnings and the cheesy diamond (not to mention the white slide-in cover clamshell). The third Classics edition is the first version with the Red FBI screens, the 1986 WDHV logo, the previews and FP bumper, and the cut-short Classics logo. Rated G.

Charles F. Wennerstrum

Charles F. Wennerstrum (October 11, 1889 – June 1, 1986) was an American lawyer who presided over and sharply criticized some of the Nuremberg war crimes trials after World War II.

Wennerstrum was born in Cambridge, Illinois and studied at Drake University, where he graduated in law in 1914. Elected county attorney of Lucas County in 1916, he served as a lieutenant of the U.S. Army in World War I. From January 1, 1941, until December 31, 1958, he served on the Iowa Supreme Court, where he was chief justice for two years. During that time, he also served as the presiding judge in the Hostages Case at the Subsequent Nuremberg Trials in Nuremberg, Germany in 1947/48, where some German generals were tried for war crimes.

He assailed what he saw as the biased approaches of some prosecutors to the trials, suggesting that they were more interested in furthering their own careers than in seeing justice done; and asserting that far too many of them were Jews and consequently of suspect loyalty to the United States; "The whole atmosphere here is unwholesome.... Lawyers, clerks, interpreters and researchers are employed who became Americans only in recent years; whose backgrounds were embedded in Europe's hatreds and prejudices."

'The trials were to have convinced the Germans of the guilt of their leaders,' he said in 1948. 'They convinced the Germans merely that they lost the war to tough conquerors.'

After retiring from the Supreme Court of Iowa, he opened a private law practice in Des Moines.

Talk:Haute Route

Title
I'm not sure that the word "The" should be omitted from the title in this case, but i'm very sure that The Haute Route w/o a redirect to Haute Route is unacceptable. A Move-this-page back would still leave both names working, which is the most important issue. --Jerzy(t) 21:26, 2005 Feb 3 (UTC)

Category
The category here is problematic since the Haute Route is both a summer walking & a winter skiing tour. This entry should also appear under Skiing.

Map
I think that a map with the classic route and variations would be a plus (some schematic ones can be found in P. Cliff's book). I do not know yet how to do it properly, but I'll try. --Olivier Debre (talk) 11:57, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Pashtun
I basically agree with your recent remark at Pashtun. As you can see, if you examine the talk page and the history of the article, I had warded off several attempts at focusing the article toward the "lost tribes" point of view, but really couldn't stop someone who had his documentation in a row on a topic where I have no expertise.

Note, in particular, my comment from a little over a week ago:
 * As far as I can tell, what we have here is a good accounting of something that many of the Pashtun believe about their own origins, and solid documentation that this belief was shared by many 19th-century British and that there are still some non-Pashtun today who agree. The citations appear to be good, and they do demonstrate (just about exactly) that much. What is missing, and it will require someone with knowledge about the Pashtun which I lack, is a comparably solid set of citations demonstrating that this is now a minority opinion among anthropologists.
 * I had deleted earlier half-baked material related to the "Israelite origin" theory, as had some others. However, this material seems good enough that it at least mostly belongs here. I don't think it's "gibberish" at all, but I do think that without the counter-view -- now dominant except among the Pashtun themselves -- also being presented, it is misleading. I, for one, would welcome someone presenting that counter-view.

If you can set the article to rights in that respect, I, for one, would greatly appreciate it. -- Jmabel | Talk 21:31, Feb 3, 2005 (UTC)

 * Unlikely someone will simply revert your edits, assuming you also provide decent citations. The tradition of the Israelite descent that is a longstanding belief of the Pashtun themselves, so it should be discussed, along with the degree to which the Imperial British tended to accept that claim. The issue is not to remove the "Lost Tribes" material, it is to contextualize it and to indicate what modern anthropologists have to say. -- Jmabel | Talk 06:15, Feb 4, 2005 (UTC)

John Paul Jones Arena

John Paul Jones Arena, or JPJ, is a multi-purpose arena owned by the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia. Since November 2006, it serves as the home to the Virginia Cavaliers men's and women's basketball teams, as well as for concerts and other events. With seating for 14,623 fans (nearly twice the capacity of its predecessor, University Hall) John Paul Jones Arena is the largest indoor arena in Virginia and the biggest Atlantic Coast Conference basketball arena located outside of large metropolitan areas. Sports Illustrated named John Paul Jones Arena the best new college basketball arena of the 2000s.

Virginia men's basketball is 206–46 (.810) at John Paul Jones Arena as of March 2021. The Cavaliers have fared even better, 167–30 (.840), at JPJ during the Tony Bennett era. Virginia fans in the arena are known for cheering loudly for defensive stands and for providing what Rick Pitino, who went winless in three attempts at JPJ, called "one of the best home court advantages [he's] ever seen" where Wahoo fans seem like they are "on top of you." JPJ opened for basketball on November 12, 2006, as Virginia defeated No. 10 ranked Arizona, 93–90, and handed Lute Olson a season-opening loss in his final season.

History
The design features Roman pergolas on the outside as well as the inside, a modern take on the university's Greek-inspired Jeffersonian architecture.

Paul Tudor Jones, who earned a B.A. in Economics from UVA in 1976, donated $35 million of his personal funds for the construction of the arena. Granted naming rights in exchange for the donation, he opted to name the arena in honor of his father, John Paul Jones, a 1948 graduate of the University of Virginia School of Law. The arena is sometimes incorrectly assumed to be named for either John Paul Jones, the founder of the United States Navy, or John Paul Jones, the bassist for the English rock band Led Zeppelin.

The arena plays host to not only basketball games, but a wide variety of concerts, performances and other events; for example, its opening season in 2006 included events such as the Charlottesville-originated Dave Matthews Band, as well as Cirque du Soleil, Larry the Cable Guy, The Wiggles, Disney on Ice & WWE Monday Night Raw.

The arena also houses office space for SMG staff, the UVa athletics media relations department, video services and dining services. It also features coaches' offices, practice facilities and an extensive sports medicine facility for men's and women's basketball teams.

The arena's first event was Cirque du Soleil's Delirium on Tuesday, August 1, 2006, but the official Grand Opening event was a two-night tour-ending stand by Charlottesville natives Dave Matthews Band, September 22–23, 2006. An "open house" event for the local community was conducted on July 22, 2006.

In February 2007, the arena was awarded the title of "Best New Major Concert Venue" at Pollstar's 18th Annual Concert Industry Awards.

Basketball
The University of Virginia opened the John Paul Jones Arena on November 12, 2006, with a pair of victories. The Virginia women's basketball team defeated Old Dominion University 92–72 in the afternoon. Later that evening in front of a capacity crowd of 15,219, the Virginia men's basketball team defeated No. 10 ranked Arizona 93–90, rallying from a 19-point first-half deficit. Both games included elaborate pre-game festivities that featured a fireworks display and the Cavalier mascot rappelling from the rafters. Michael Buffer was introduced to announce the Virginia starting lineup prior to the men's game.

On March 1, 2007, the men's basketball team defeated Virginia Tech 69–56, clinching a share of first place in the final ACC regular season standings for the 2006–2007 season. The victory marked the school-record 16th home win of the season, and the Cavaliers finished 16–1 for the season in their new arena. Furthermore, Virginia went an undefeated 8–0 in league games at home for the first time since the Hoos went 7–0 at home in 1982. Also at this game, the fans in attendance said goodbye to two fourth-year players, J. R. Reynolds and Jason Cain, both of whom had contributed to the Virginia basketball program.

On February 28, 2013, Virginia upset No. 3 Duke which led to thousands of fans rushing the court. The 2012–2013 Cavaliers set a school record with 18 regular season home wins, finishing with a home record of 18–1.

On March 1, 2014, Virginia (then ranked No. 12) beat No. 4 Syracuse at JPJ to win the ACC regular season title outright (i.e., with no ties) for the first time since the 1980–81 season. This win also set two school records: Virginia's first season with 16 conference wins, and 18 consecutive home conference wins (a streak which began in the previous season). The same day, the Virginia student section, the "Hoo Crew," won the 2014 Naismith Student Section of the Year award. It was the final home game for future NBA players Joe Harris and Akil Mitchell, as well as former walk-on player Thomas Rogers; Rogers' three-point field goal at the end of the game, and the subsequent reaction by the crowd and team, were particularly noted by media and the Cavalier fanbase.

On December 21, 2014, Virginia tied an NCAA record in JPJ by only allowing Harvard one field goal in the first half of a game; Virginia went on to win 76–27 against the Crimson, a quality team which started the season ranked AP No. 25 and which recovered to win 22 games and be a fellow participant in the 2015 NCAA tournament.

Home-court advantage
JPJ is known as harboring one of the best basketball home-court advantages and crowd noise in the Atlantic Coast Conference and nationwide. Hall of Fame coach Rick Pitino of Louisville (and Kentucky) said on the eve of his first game at JPJ in 2015 that he'd heard Virginia has "one of the best arenas in the ACC" and he was "looking forward to seeing it." After his first visit, a five-point victory for No. 3 Virginia against No. 9 Louisville, Pitino lamented that at JPJ the UVA crowd is "on top of you." Pitino would later add to his praise, "[At UVA] they all stand up with 10 seconds to go [on the shot clock], cheering their team on defensively. I have not seen that in my 40 years of college basketball." ESPN ranked John Paul Jones Arena as the second toughest arena to play in in the ACC.

76–27
On two occasions at JPJ, Virginia teams under Tony Bennett and Joanne Boyle defeated strong competition by the exact score of 76–27, a margin of 49 points and nearly a tripling of the opponent's scoring. On December 20, 2014, No. 6 ranked UVA defeated an NCAA Tournament bound Harvard team 76–27. Harvard, coached by Tommy Amaker, had been ranked in the AP Top 25 just one month prior. Barely two years later on January 26, 2017, the unranked UVA women's team would upset No. 19 Virginia Tech, coached by Kenny Brooks, by an identical score of 76–27. In both cases, the Cavaliers' defensive style forced their highly rated opponents to take many outside shots, of which they made very few. Harvard (7–1) shot 16% — 8 for 50 – on field goals and 18% on three-point field goals. The No. 19 Hokies (16–3) made 18% of field goals and shot 7% — 2 for 29 – on three-point field goal attempts.

Other events
John Paul Jones Arena is the unofficial home venue for the Dave Matthews Band, which was founded in Charlottesville in 1991. The band has played the arena thirteen times, including the arena's grand opening and the band's 25th anniversary show. The venue has been site of many memorable moments for the band, such as a fan in a trench coat mysteriously walking the stage in 2006, and the final show before the band's first ever break from touring in 2010. In 2023, a banner was added commemorating the band’s venue record of 13 performances.

On August 14, 2006, WWE presented Monday Night Raw at the arena. This was the first time WWE had presented in Charlottesville, Virginia. Before John Paul Jones Arena was built, Charlottesville was not equipped to handle the masses of WWE fans.

On October 25, 2008, Jay-Z played a concert at the arena, making him the first hip-hop act to play there.

On October 17, 2009, Metallica played their "World Magnetic" tour at the arena, supported by Lamb of God and Gojira. The arena became the site of the disappearance of 20-year-old Virginia Tech student Morgan Dana Harrington from the concert. She mysteriously left the arena in search of a restroom, despite 18 female restrooms being provided inside the secured arena. A "no return on exit" policy was enforced. Harrington's skeletonized body was found at Anchorage Farm, Albemarle County on January 26, 2010. Jesse Matthew was later charged with Harrington's (and Hannah Graham's) abduction and murder, and he pled guilty to the crimes in exchange for life in prison in March 2016.

On December 5, 2009, Phish played the final show of their 2009 Fall Tour at the arena. At the beginning of a first set "Ya Mar", an erratic fan ran on stage fully naked. He hugged guitarist Trey Anastasio and kissed him on the cheek. He made three laps around the stage before finally being run down by security. Anastasio proceeded by saying, "Let's hear it for the naked guy, pick him up, that took a lot of balls." Later on, the lyrics of "Ya Mar" stated "he was a naked pa", and "Run like an Antelope" was changed to "Run like a Naked Guy, out of control".

In September 2010, the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) brought their Built Ford Tough Series tour to JPJ Arena; prior to this, the arena had hosted an event on the PBR's Enterprise Tour (which was one of the PBR's minor league tours that was eventually combined with the other minor league tours to create the Touring Pro Division in 2010).

On June 23, 2015, Paul McCartney played a sold-out show at John Paul Jones Arena as part of his 2015 Out There tour. Two days later, the arena hosted a rally to welcome home the 2015 Virginia Cavaliers baseball team following their College World Series championship.

On April 13, 2019, John Paul Jones Arena hosted Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live.

On September 13, 2019, the Virginia Men's Basketball team got their 2019 NCAA tournament championship rings at John Paul Jones Arena. Fans got to see the stars of the team and also got to see the raising of the 2019 NCAA Tournament National Champions banner.

On April 23, 2023, Tina Fey appeared at John Paul Jones Arena as part of the "UVA President’s Speaker for the Arts" series, a conversation which was moderated by University of Virginia President, James E. Ryan.

Eldad ha-Dani

Eldad ben Maḥli ha-Dani (אֶלְדָּד בֶּן מַחְלִי הַדָּנִי, lit. 'Eldad son of Mahli the Danite') was a ninth-century Jewish merchant, traveller, and philologist. Though probably originally from South Arabia, he professed to be a citizen of an "independent Jewish state" in East Africa, inhabited by people claiming descent from the lost Tribes of Dan, Asher, Gad, and Naphtali. Eldad visited Babylonia, Kairouan, and Iberia, where he spread fanciful accounts of the Ten Lost Tribes and halakhot which he claimed he had brought from his native country.

Eldad's Hebrew narrative Sefer Eldad established his reputation as a philologist whom leading medieval Jewish grammarians and lexicographers quoted as an authority on linguistic difficulties. His halakhot, which deal with the laws of shechita, differ in many places from the Talmudic ordinances, and are introduced in the name of Joshua ben Nun, or, according to another version, of Othniel Ben Kenaz. Eldad's accounts soon spread, and, as usual in such cases, were remolded and amplified by copyists and editors. There are numerous differing versions in several languages.

Eldad's account
Eldad's story begins with him leaving the land "on the other side of the river of Kush." Eldad traveled with a man of the tribe of Asher. A great storm wrecked the boat, but God prepared a box for him and his companion, on which they floated until thrown ashore among a cannibal Ethiopian tribe called Romrom. The Asherite, who was fat, was immediately eaten, while Eldad was put into a pit to fatten. Soon after, a fire-worshiping tribe assailed the cannibals, and Eldad was taken prisoner. He remained in captivity for four years. His captors brought him to the province of Azanian (according to another version, to China). He was ransomed to a Jewish merchant from the tribe of Issachar for thirty-two pieces of gold.

Now with the Tribe of Issachar, who "live in peace and comfort and there is no disturber and no evil chance" under the leadership of a prince called Naḥshon, Eldad dwelled among high mountains near Media and Persia. The Tribe of Zebulon occupies the land extending from the province of Armenia to the River Euphrates. Behind the mountains of Paran the tribe of Reuben faces them. Peace reigns between these two tribes; they war as allies and divide the spoils. They possess command of the Bible, the Mishnah, the Talmud, and the Aggadah. The Tribe of Ephraim and half of the Tribe of Manasseh dwell in the mountains of Southern Arabia, and are very warlike. The Tribe of Simeon and the other half of the Tribe of Manasseh are in the land of the Babylonians. They take tribute from twenty-five kingdoms, and some Ishmaelites pay them tribute. He states the tribe of Simeon is the most numerous of all the tribes. The tribe of Dan emigrated to the land of gold, Havilah (Kush), shortly after the separation of Judah and Israel. The tribes of Naphtali, Gad, and Asher joined the Danites later. They have a king called Adiel ben Malkiel, a prince by the name of Elizaphan of the house of Elihab, and a judge named Abdan ben Mishael, who has the power to inflict the four capital punishments prescribed in the Law. The four tribes lead a nomadic life, and are continually at war with the five neighboring Ethiopian kings. Each tribe is in the field three months, and every warrior remains in the saddle without dismounting from one Sabbath to the next.

They possess the entire Scriptures, but they do not read the Book of Esther nor Lamentations. They have a Talmud in original Hebrew, but none of the Talmudic teachers are mentioned. Their ritual is introduced in the name of Joshua, who had received it from Moses, who in his turn had heard its contents from the Almighty. They speak only Hebrew. (Eldad himself professed not to understand a word of Amharic or Arabic.)

On "the other side of the river of Kush" dwell the Bnei Moshe, encircled by the River Sambation. It rolls sand and stones during the six working days and rests on the Sabbath. From the first moment of Sabbath to the last, fire surrounds the river, and during that time no human being can approach within half a mile of either side of it. The four other tribes communicate with the Bnei Moshe from the borders of the river. The Bnei Moshe dwell in beautiful houses, and no unclean animal is found in their land. Their cattle and sheep as well as their fields bear twice a year. No child dies during the lifetime of its parents, who live to see a third and fourth generation. They do not close their houses at night, for there is no theft or wickedness among them. They speak Hebrew, and never swear by the name of God.

Contemporaneous opinions
This fanciful narrative was largely accepted by his contemporaries as true. Its origins are to be found in the aggadic literature, of which Eldad must have had a very extensive knowledge. The inhabitants of Kairouan were troubled by the differences between his halakhot and those of the Talmud, and by some of his strange Hebrew words. Eldad pretended to speak only Hebrew, however, many of the words in his letters are derived from Arabic, suggesting that he may have understood other languages as well. The gaon Ẓemaḥ ben Hayyim of Sura, whose opinion they had asked, soothed them by saying that there was nothing astonishing in the four tribes disagreeing with the Talmud on some halakic points.

Moreover, Eldad was known to the Gaon through Isaac ben Mar and R. Simḥah, with whom the Danite associated while he was in Babylonia. Hisdai ibn Shaprut cites Eldad in his letter to the king of the Khazars, and Eldad's halakhot were used by both Rabbinites and Karaites as weapons in defense of their respective creeds. Talmudic authorities like Rashi, Abraham ben David, and Abraham ben Maimon quote Eldad as an unquestioned authority; and lexicographers and grammarians interpret some Hebrew words according to the meaning given them in Eldad's phraseology. However, many writers of the Middle Ages expressed doubts as to the genuineness of Eldad's narrative and his halakhot, most explicitly Abraham ibn Ezra (Commentary to Exodus ii. 22) and Meir of Rothenburg (Responsa, no. 193).

19th century opinions
Nineteenth-century critics were divided in their opinions concerning Eldad. Simhah Pinsker, Heinrich Grätz, and Adolf Neubauer saw in him a Karaite missionary endeavouring to discredit the Talmud through his statement that the four tribes did not know the names of the Tannaim and Amoraim, and that their halakhot were different from those of the Talmud. This opinion was refuted by Moses Schorr and Adolf Jellinek, who observed that Eldad's halakhot contain rules of shechita not accepted by the Karaites. P. F. Frankl regarded Eldad as a mere charlatan whose sayings and doings are not worth attention. Jacob Reifmann denied outright the existence of Eldad, and considered the letters of the community of Kairwan and of Ẓemaḥ ben Ḥayyim of Sura to be forgeries.

Metz was the first to analyze the contents of Eldad's book in the light of the reports of other travellers. Abraham Epstein followed Metz's method, and came to the conclusion that Eldad's book is like a historical novel in which truth is mixed with fiction. According to Epstein, the Halakhot and laws described by Eldad are genuine, and were in use among the countrymen of Eldad, either in a province of eastern Africa or in Yemen, where the Jews at that time knew Hebrew but not the Talmud. Eldad could not have been a native of Ethiopia, the country of the Beta Israel, since no trace of Ge'ez appears in Eldad's Hebrew. There are, however, some traces of Arabic, which Eldad must have known, although he asserted the contrary.

Later authors have made the connection between the Jewish names Eldad mentioned in his travels to a codex published in the mid-twentieth century. Eldad's account includes very biblical names for the people of his tribe, such as Uzziel, Adiel, and Abdon, and even his own. While these names do not seem to appear in post-biblical literature, supporting the claim that Eldad was, in fact, a charlatan, they (or their equivalents) do, however, appear in the codex Chinese Jews by W. C. White, which connects the Jews in China to those from Persia.

Relationship to "Prester John" letters
The influence of Eldad's narrative extended beyond Jewish circles, and some sources link it to the Prester John letters. Perhaps intending to refute Eldad's assertion of the existence of independent Jewish states—an assertion contrary to the teaching of the Roman-Catholic Church—the presumably Christian writer claimed to be a priest (Prester John) who ruled over the great kingdom of Ethiopia. According to the letters, Prester John's subjects included some Jewish tribes, such as the Bnei Moshe who dwelt beyond the River Sambation.

Editions
Eldad's travels have been published from the various existing versions: Mantua (1480); Constantinople (1516, 1519); Venice (1544, 1605, 1648); Fürth, with a Yiddish translation by S. H. Weil (1769); Zolkiev (1772); Jessnitz (1772); Leghorn (1828); and Presburg (1891). Eldad's narrative was translated into Latin by Gilbert Génébrard (Paris, 1584), and also, anonymously, into Arabic (St. Petersburg MSS. nos. 674, 703) and into German (Dessau, 1700; Jessnitz, 1723). An English translation can be found in Elkan Adler's Jewish Travellers in the Middle Ages: 19 Firsthand Accounts (1930, repr. 1987).

Amorphous poly alpha olefin

Amorphous poly alpha olefin (APAO; also known as atactic poly alpha olefin) is a commodity chemical used in multiple applications.

History
In the mid-to-late-1950s, atactic polypropylene (APP) was a by-product of the synthesis of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) using first and early second generation Ziegler–Natta catalysts (Z-N catalysts), which typically produced about 10-15 wt% of APP. Polymerization reactions using those catalysts were based on solution processes that simplified the elimination of the APP due to solubility differences. In other processes, such as slurry or suspension, the APP had to be eliminated from the isotactic fraction by washing/extracting the polypropylene product with hydrocarbon solvents.

With the development in the 1980s of more active and stereospecific supported Z-N catalysts, the proportion of atactic polymer to crystalline isotactic polypropylene in the polymers produced was substantially reduced, to typically less than 2 or 3 wt%. Therefore, the polypropylene product generally did not require additional purification steps to remove the atactic or low crystalline fraction. This meant that the APP supply from polypropylene plants using standard first- and early second-generation Z-N catalysts decreased as commercial plants adopted the new catalysts. Little by-product APP was thereafter produced.

Because APP is a by-product, it frequently has broad product specifications. Starting in the late 1970s and the early 1980s, several chemical companies identified the need to have an APP-like polymer produced to tight specifications. This type of polyolefin became known as on-purpose APAO, or just APAO, or APO. APAO synthesis and manufacture has been accomplished by properly designing the process of synthesizing the amorphous polyolefin, specifically, by the proper choice of catalyst system and the use of olefinic co-monomers. This process results in products with defined properties, such as melt viscosity, softening point, needle penetration, open time and tensile strength.

Production
The amorphous polyalphaolefins are synthesized by a catalyst system based on a Z-N supported catalyst and an alkyl aluminum co-catalyst. The polymerization process produces a mostly amorphous polymer with low crystallinity. Crystallinity depends on the catalyst system and on the use of co-monomers.

Product types
The four distinctive commercially available product types of on-purpose APAO are:

 * Homopolymers of propylene
 * Copolymers of propylene and ethylene
 * Copolymers of propylene and 1-butene or other higher a-olefins
 * Terpolymers of ethylene, propylene and 1-butene

Properties
The composition of the APAO is typically determined by using infrared spectroscopy, specifically, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR).

Typical properties for APAO are:

 * Melt viscosity (MV) - indicates processability and is typically determined at 375 °F (190 °C), as per the ASTM D-3236 or DIN 53019 test methods.
 * Needle penetration (NP) - indicates resistance to deformation and hardness, and is typically determined as per ASTM D-1321, ASTM D5 or DIN EN 1426 test methods
 * Ring and ball softening point (RBSP) - indicates resistance to heat, and is typically determined as per ASTM E-28 or DIN EN 1427 test methods.
 * Open time (OT) - indicates how long it takes for a film of adhesive to set to a destructive bond. Typically determined as per ASTM D-4497.

Other tests carried out to determine product properties are:

 * Rheology- measured with a rheometer
 * Tensile strength and modulus - measures mechanical properties - measured using a tensile tester
 * Molecular weight - used to obtain the molecular weight distribution, MWD, determined by Gel Permeation Chromatography, GPC
 * Shear adhesion failure temperature (SAFT)
 * Peel adhesion failure temperature (PAFT)

Applications
Applications include:

 * Personal hygiene baby diapers
 * Adult incontinence
 * Feminine hygiene
 * Paper and packaging
 * Paper lamination
 * Cardboard and case sealing
 * Pressure sensitive labels
 * Bookbinding
 * WoodworkingEdge banding

Talk:Metaplot

Metaplot concept
This article does not seem to need much more explanation; metaplot is a pretty simple concept. Metaplot is not limited to White Wolf games, all systems that have over-arching stories are considered to have metaplot. The Dungeons and Dragons game setting Forgotten Realms (by Ed Greenwood, et al) is an example of a system with metaplot, as is the setting-advances used in BattleTech's transiton from Third Edition (by FASA) to Classic BattleTech Fourth Edition (by Fantasy Productions/WizKids). GURPS does not have metaplot, because there is not an over-arching storyline to it, and therefore metaplot advances are not needed. 00:00, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.24.118.207 (talk)

lack of criticism
I feel this article would be improved if there was a section on the negative aspects of metaplots too, as to answer the question "why doesn't all rpgs have 'em?".

I'll start: Metaplots may make earlier released material obsolete and/or incompatible (storywise). If players get later modules, that might spoil things. This limits the market. ...

78.82.28.8 (talk) 19:17, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

 * That may be a valuable section to add, but Wikipedia articles must not contain original research. If such a section on reception/criticism can be supported by citations to reliable sources, it might be good to add. (I don't think it'd be suitable to include a section just for negative opinions about metaplots, because the rest of the article is not pro-metaplots either. Negative opinions should not be given undue weight. V2Blast (talk) 23:07, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Although this is a reply to a comment from over a decade ago, it may still be valuable to anyone reading the talk page in the future. 2601:249:8B80:4050:DC2B:6DF7:CF88:4464 (talk) 03:31, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

quality
Okay, so this article is not up to standards right now. It lacks references. It effectively claims "metaplot is only for rpgs" which is even dodgier than if the article just happened to bring up rpg examples only (compare a U.S.-centric article; those usually don't say outright "this happens only in the U.S." 213.66.219.48 (talk) 08:36, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Yes, "metaplot" is definitely used in literary contexts as well as RPGs, and probably in film/TV as well. I don't know where to look for references, though. --Jim Henry (talk) 20:58, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Exported to RPG Museum
On 6 March 2020, the Metaplot page and its complete edit history has been exported from here and imported at RPG Museum (page link), a growing wiki on Fandom that intends to be a resource for all tabletop RPGs.

Arsenal Group
Group (actually called "Chicago Surrealist Group") is seldom verging on never called by this name. Article was created for the purpose of advancing POV on group, contains numerous POV statements and is, at any rate, quite incomplete. --Daniel C. Boyer 21:43, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Keep Referenced as such here and known by that name. If he wants to argue they are non-notable... Stirling Newberry 00:31, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * The context is just a characterisation by Shattuck, a nickname, if you will, in that one particular reply. At the very most, should be a redirect to Chicago Surrealist Group or The Surrealist Movement in the United States, with information included in the article about Shattuck's description.  But I'd argue this would really be pushing a point.  --Daniel C. Boyer 17:03, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Kaikyō Line

The Kaikyō Line (海峡線) was an 87.8 km railway line operated mainly by the Hokkaido Railway Company (JR Hokkaido). The line connected Naka-Oguni Station in Sotogahama, Aomori, through the Seikan Tunnel between Honshu and Hokkaido, to Kikonai Station in Kikonai, Hokkaido. Two stations on the Tsugaru-Kaikyō Line, Tappi-Kaitei Station and Yoshioka-Kaitei Station (both closed since 2014), were inside the tunnel.

Facilities
The approximately 82 km section of concrete-slab track-bed was built to accommodate the Hokkaido Shinkansen, and is dual gauge, with both narrow (national standard) 1,067 mm gauge and 1,435 mm gauge track. As all regular passenger services are Shinkansen, the Kaikyō Line is normally used only by freight trains.

The line was originally electrified at 20 kV AC (50 Hz) and was changed in 2016 to the Shinkansen-standard 25 kV AC (50 Hz). To comply with freight operations, JR Freight introduced Class EH800 dual-voltage locomotives.

Stations

 * Naka-Oguni Station
 * Okutsugaru-Imabetsu Station (Shinkansen station with facilities for freight trains on the Kaikyō Line)
 * Tappi-Kaitei Station (closed 2014)
 * Yoshioka-Kaitei Station (closed 2014)
 * Shiriuchi Station (closed 2014)
 * Kikonai Station

History
The line was opened on 13 March 1988 in conjunction with the opening of the Seikan Tunnel. Originally the line ran both freight and passenger trains; the latter included daytime limited express Hakuchō and night train Hokutosei.

Three of the stations on the Kaikyō Line, Tappi-Kaitei, Yoshioka-Kaitei, and Shiriuchi, were closed on 15 March 2014 due to construction work connected with the Hokkaido Shinkansen, which opened on 26 March 2016. From that time, this line has largely re-designed as a freight-only route, except for the Train Suite Shikishima cruise train.
