What's the rationale for having "manual dexterity" a required skill?

Does anyone have information on a shareware computer implementaion? I think I played it a few years ago but I can't remember who developed it. Styracosaurus 23:31, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Sure, Klear Games developed it. Development stopped at version 1.5.3, but it's perfect if you ask me. The full version is no longer for sale, and unfortunately play is limited in the shareware version, though a serial probably can be found on the internet.

Talk:Larry Kudlow

Focus of "Director of the National Economic Council" section seems editorial
I'm curious why this whole section is written in point/counterpoint style -- where rather than describing the general work during his time in this position, this section is used to select statements he has made and then make counterarguments to those statements. Regardless of the veracity of either Kudlow's points or the counterpoints cited, this type of format seems better suited for Politifact or other political sites, and seems to veer off the purpose of a biographical page. Indeed, source 19 is from Politifact. I don't see many examples of similarly formatted sections in most other political or entertainment-type figures on Wikipedia.

Another issue with using this style is that it almost seems dedicated against Kudlow as currently written and therefore biased or editorial. So, if the section focus remains as-is, it seems warranted that we include articles about his correct predictions/forecasts, etc as well (e.g., https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-03-14/kudlow-s-best-worst-calls-from-no-2007-recession-to-trump-bump). But either way -- I think it's a bit of an odd way to handle a biographical page.

Does anyone else agree and think this would be worthwhile to revise?

I agree 100%. This section is a hatchet job, particularly mean-spirited and one-sided, obviously written by a malcontented Democrat. The section, for the reasons stated by Loozana should be re-written for balance or excised and replaced with statements of his work there. 2601:80:4001:F940:A44F:F42B:49C7:DFA7 (talk) 01:48, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

“economist”
I challenge that just because Bear Stearns gave Kudlow the title “chief economist” makes him an economist. He has no economic credentials and has never authored any peer-reviewed studies. Like his friend Steve Moore, some have described him as an economist to give him a patina of legitimacy for his cheerleading for Republican economic policies. He’s a salesman for Laffer tax cuts.

 * Guess I have to respond. I didn’t say he’s a good economist, or has the background for it. My personal opinion is that his concepts of economics are laughably simplistic. But, the question is not whether he can be cited by Wikipedia as an expert in economics (Heaven forbid). The question is whether or not he is an economist. Since he has had multiple jobs as an economist, the answer is yes; he is a professional economist. Further, RS say he is/was an economist. And if I weren’t retired; I’d remove the scare quotes as they are purely POV pushing and particularly unsuitable in a BLP. O3000, Ret. (talk) 21:56, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

 * The New York Times has repeatedly labeled him as an economist, which utterly makes sense given that he was a chief economist at a large Wall Street firm. He was not an academic, but applied economists can still be called economists.
 * For avoidance of doubt on this issue, we can use the term "Wall Street economist" in the lead; something like is an American conservative broadcast news personality, columnist, political commentator, and former Wall Street economist makes the most sense to me. — Red-tailed hawk  (nest) 05:03, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
 * As I said above, I don't consider Bear Stearns' job title to be significant in any respect. And even among Wall St. firms, Bear's business at time of Kudlow's employment was execution and clearing with a lesser amount of syndicate participation. At that time, it was not a business that would have conferred credibility on "economist". Few Wall St. firms employed economists in 1979. Later, as BS's business broadened, it did employ serious economists. On the other hand, the breadth of coverage relating to Kudlow greatly increased after he joined the Trump Administration, so most sources refer to his role there. While they don't call him an economist very frequently, they do refer to him as head of the Economic Council. Anyway, "economist" may be misleading and elevate his views as if they were the views of an economist. "Wall St. economist" seems OK if only for the ambiguity of it, but I still don't see much WEIGHT for the word "economist" as opposed to economic adviser, head of NEC, economic pundit, etc. There are plenty of RS calling his pundit predictions laughably inept and incorrect, not that we need to emphasize any of that.

Antonio José Cavanilles

Antonio José Cavanilles (16 January 1745 – 5 May 1804) was a leading Spanish taxonomic botanist, artist and one of the most important figures in the 18th century period of Enlightenment in Spain.

Cavanilles is most famous for his 2-volume book on Spanish flora, published in 1795 and titled ‘Observations on the Natural History, Geography and Agriculture of the Kingdom of Valencia’.He named many plants, particularly from Oceania. He named at least 100 genera, about 54 of which were still used in 2004, including Dahlia, Calycera, Cobaea, Galphimia, and Oleandra.

Biography
Cavanilles was born in Valencia. He lived in Paris from 1777 to 1781, where he followed careers as a clergyman and a botanist, thanks to André Thouin and Antoine Laurent de Jussieu. He was one of the first Spanish scientists to use the classification method invented by Carl Linnaeus.

Early life and education
Antonio José Cavanilles was born on January 16, 1745, in Valencia, Spain.

In his youth Cavanilles specialized in the study of mathematics and physics and obtained a doctorate in theology. Because he failed to secure the professorship to which he aspired, he accepted the post of guardian to the sons of the duke of Infantado and accompanied the duke to Paris in 1777.

Returning to Spain In 1789 he became fascinated with botany and took courses given by the renowned naturalists A. Laurent de Jussieu and Lamarck.

He studied at the University of Valencia, where he developed an interest in botany and natural history.

He published, in 1785, the first of ten monographs that constitute his Monadelphiae.

Botanical career
His return to Spain in 1789 marked the beginning of a rivalry with the director of the Madrid Botanical Gardens, Casimiro Gómez Ortega, and the botanist Hipólito Ruiz. In 1791 he was ordered to travel throughout the peninsula to study its botanical wealth; and, starting in 1799, he collaborated on the newly created Anales de histoaria natural.

Cavanilles became a professor of botany at the University of Valencia and later joined the Royal Botanical Garden of Madrid, where he worked under the supervision of Casimiro Gómez Ortega. He succeeded Gómez Ortega as director of the botanical garden from 1801 to 1804.

The Spanish government ordered that any expeditions exploring Spanish America at that time send the Botanical Gardens examples of any herbs, seeds, and other plant forms that might be collected.

In 1804, Cavanilles was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia.

Botanical Expeditions

Cavanilles led several botanical expeditions throughout Spain, collecting and cataloging numerous plant specimens. His explorations contributed significantly to the understanding of Spain's flora.

Artist and illustrator
Cavanilles llustrated his own Icones et Descriptiones Plantarum (1791-1801).

Medical research
During his official research into Spanish flora (starting his journey in Valencia) that Cavanilles made significant contributions to the field of medicine.

Cavanilles identified the components of a popular Valencian remedy against rabies, after first checking its validity with the medical community. The positive results of this peer review gave rise to at least ten published articles in the ‘Annals of Natural Science’.

One more notable medical achievement was his identification of the rise in fatal diseases in regions which cultivated rice, due to the diversion of the water supply to the detriment of other areas which could more efficiently make use of this water for more important crops.

This resulted in local laws passed in Almenara (province of Castellón) to reduce the negative effects of rice paddies on the water supply and caused an immediate reduction in the local rate of fatal diseases.

Australia
The research carried out by Cavanilles documented over 600 species of plants from the Valencian region, as well as exotic species from expeditions made to Peru, Chile, the Philippines and Oceania.

Cavanilles described a number of Australian plants, including the genera Angophora and Bursaria, in his 6-volume Icones et Descriptiones Plantarum... (1791–1799). The Australian descriptions were based on collections made near Port Jackson and Botany Bay (New South Wales) by Luis Née (q.v.). Other Australian taxa were described in papers in ''Anal. Hist. Nat.'' 1: 89–107 (1799) & 3: 181–245 (1800). Taxonomic Work

Cavanilles is best known for his taxonomic work, particularly his contributions to the classification and description of plant species. He authored several botanical publications, including "Icones et Descriptiones Plantarum" in which 712 plants were listed according to the Linnaean classification and which gives data on some American plants and "Monadelphiae Classis Dissertationes Decem."

Mentorship

Cavanilles mentored several notable botanists, including Simón de Roxas Clemente y Rubio, Mariano Lagasca (1776– 1839) and José Celestino Mutis, who went on to make significant contributions to the field of botany in their own right.

Legacy
Cavanilles' work laid the foundation for modern botanical studies in Spain and had a lasting impact on the field of botany worldwide. His herbarium specimens and publications remain valuable resources for botanical research.

He died in Madrid in 1804.

Selected publications

 * Icones et descriptiones plantarum, quae aut sponte in Hispania crescunt, aut in hortis hospitantur..., Madrid, 1791-1801
 * Monadelphiae Classis Dissertationes Decem. (Paris, 1785; Madrid, 1790).
 * Observaciones sobre la historia natural, geografia, agricultura, población y frutos del reyno de Valencia, 2 vols. (Madrid, 1795–1797; new Zaragoza edition, 1958), a work in which he attempts to fix the natural wealth of the region studied.
 * Descripción de las plantas que Don A. J. Cavanilles demostró en las lecciones púhlicas del año 1801 (Madrid, 1803. 1804).

"Pancake" CEO
Barry took the Peloton stock price from $20 to under $2. When a company requires a reboot, they bring in a "slash and burn" CEO or a "turn around" CEO. I would classify Barry as a "pancake" CEO. He certainly did slash and burn to restructure Peloton, but he flopped on the financial burst. Barry nailed it on the "flip" of the pancake, but all it did was "flop" for the stockholders. This fluffy pancake is ready for a top chef👩🍳 Company to scoop it out of the frying pan and add some bacon jam and maple syrup before it burns into bankruptcy. 2601:447:CD81:F700:B0B5:194A:FD99:8E5E (talk) 14:47, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Timeline of social developments
It seems like a good idea at first glance, however this is basically already covered in another broader timeline. -- Riffsyphon1024 04:23, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * The problem with most of the wikipedia timelines is that they are too specific. There has to be some kind of generic line where all can intersect.  Civil rights issues, Gay rights issues, women's rights issues, event simple things like attitude changes are social not cultural ones.  For example:  In 1936, King Edward was forced to abdicate precisely because he was marrying a commoner and a divorcee.  Charles the present Prince of Wales, a divorcd, is about to marry a divorcee and the issues that forced one king only 60 or 70 years ago to abdicate no longer seem to apply, since it is very likely that Charles will inherit the throne without much opposition based on this issue alone.  That is a significant social development. the kind that this page could track.  There are others whether one looks at censor ship policy or civil rights issues they all pertain to siginificant social change one this page can track.  AT present I am not aware of a broader timeline where all these issues connect and I have the List of themed timelines on my favourites -- at least not one that covers all these specific issues. -- [User: Kskooper 10:48 pm Feb 19,2005 (UTC0]

Kole

Kole Weathers is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics.

Fictional character biography
Professor Abel Weathers, paranoid of an impending nuclear holocaust, was attempting to find a way for humanity to survive the fallout through forced evolution. One of the test subjects in his experiments was his 16-year-old daughter, Kole, whom he grafted with crystal and promethium. Instead of evolving to survive a nuclear fallout as her father intended, Kole gained the ability to create and control pure silicon crystal at will.

Kole was then kidnapped by the mad sun Titaness, Thia. For two years, Thia forced Kole to use her powers to construct a crystal prison in which Thia could hold important prisoners. Thia eventually came into conflict with the Teen Titans, which ultimately led to the death of the goddess and Kole winning her freedom. Lilith Clay, a member of the Titans with limited precognition, sensed the "dark clouds of destruction" around Kole and warned her that she would face a "grim future" should she return to Earth and invited her to remain in Olympus. Kole declined, electing to reclaim her life on Earth. Now back on Earth, Kole tried to reunite with her parents, only to find that her father's experiments had created numerous crystalline and insectoid monsters. When the Titans came to confront him, he had them captured and attempted to subject them to the same experiments. Kole helped them to escape and in the ensuing conflict, the lab self-destructed. Abel, his wife Marilyn, and the rest of their test subjects emerged from the wreckage, transformed into insect forms which would allow them to survive a nuclear holocaust. Having nowhere else to go, Kole chose to go with the Titans to New York City.

Lacking a home of her own, Kole lived with Adeline and Joseph Wilson. As a result of this Kole developed an immediate friendship with Jericho. She was deeply upset when Jericho and several other Titans went on a mission to deep space and she could not go with them. Shortly after this, during Crisis on Infinite Earths, she was killed by the Anti-Monitor's shadow-demons. Since then, she has briefly been resurrected in the Animal Man, Team Titans, and Infinite Crisis series.

Powers and abilities
Kole has the power to generate crystal, which she can shape into various constructs. She is also able to fly, but it is unclear whether this also comes from the experiments that gave her powers, or granted to her during her tenure as Thia's slave.

Alternate versions
An alternate universe version of Kole appears in Teen Titans: Earth One. This version was given powers by and formerly worked for Niles Caulder.

In other media

 * Kole appears in Teen Titans, voiced by Tara Strong. This version is an honorary member of the Teen Titans who can transform her entire body into crystal and lives with Gnarrk in an isolated Arctic cavern to prevent her powers from being used for evil.
 * Kole appears as a character summon in Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure.
 * The Teen Titans animated series incarnation of Kole appears in Teen Titans Go!.

Morden Hall Park

Morden Hall Park is a National Trust park on the banks of the Wandle in Morden, south London. Its several buildings and associated parking included, it is 51 acre of predominantly parkland. Hinting at the former mill leats the river here splits into channels, generally, through it spanned by numerous footbridges. The estate contains Morden Hall itself, Morden Cottage, two well-preserved snuff watermills, a restored stableyard, a dog-friendly café, exhibition space and second-hand bookshop. A western part, separately accessed, hosts the National Trust's only Garden Centre.

History
The estate land was originally owned by Westminster Abbey. There is evidence of an earlier manor-house originally built by the Garth family where Morden Lodge now stands. The Hall dates back to the 1770s and contains a variety of natural landscapes, including the parkland of the "Deer Park", meadow and wetland. A number of historic buildings are located in the park, including the Hall itself and preserved watermills where tobacco was once ground into snuff.

The land was occupied by the Garth family for generations before the estate was split in two and Morden Hall was built. The Hall was occupied, as a school, for young gentlemen about 1840, until it was sold by Sir Richard Garth to a tobacco merchant Gilliat Hatfeild (1827–1906) in the 1870s.

The Hall was a military hospital during the First World War and later a Women and Children's hospital. Gilliat Edward Hatfeild lived at the nearby Morden Cottage.

Gilliat Hatfeild's son, Gilliat Edward Hatfeild (1864–9 February 1941), left the core of the estate (including the house) to the National Trust, when he died.

Several Sunday Pictorial garden parties were hosted on the land in this time in aid of the NSPCC with famous British actors such as Richard Attenborough, Alec Guinness and Patricia Roc in attendance.

Access
The main entrance to the park is a short walk from Morden town centre, and car parking is available in the Garden Centre car park. The Snuff Mills and Pottingshed Café are near to the main entrance.

The Tramlink light rail line from Wimbledon to Croydon, Elmers End and New Addington runs through the northern part of the park, and Phipps Bridge and Morden Road tram stops give access to the park. They are respectively 0.3 mi and 0.6 mi walk through the park to the Snuff Mill and Riverside Café. Morden tube station (Northern line) and Morden South railway station (Thameslink) are respectively 0.4 mi and 0.9 mi walk through the town centre from the main entrance.

The Living Green Project
Funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and the EU's Interreg series of programmes, the Living Green Project was conceived as an exemplar to show how historic assets could be maintained to a highly sustainable standard. Architects Cowper Griffiths were appointed by The National Trust along with engineers Crofton Consulting in 2009 to undertake the design with construction work commencing in 2010. Receiving a BREEAM Excellent rating the project won the RICS award for Design and Innovation in 2012 and features as a case study in the BREEAM briefing paper Sustainable Refurbishment of Heritage Buildings - How BREEAM helps to deliver.

Claudia Rosett

Claudia Rosett (May 29, 1955 – May 27, 2023) was an American author and journalist. An editorial board member of The Wall Street Journal, she was the only print journalist to witness the Tiananmen Square massacre and later broke the United Nations’ Oil for Food scandal, the largest public fraud in history. After her Journal career in Hong Kong, Moscow, and New York, she wrote a foreign affairs column for Forbes, blogged for PJ Media, and made regular appearances on national television and radio, including Fox Business. She also worked for the Independent Women's Forum and the London Center for Policy Research, and served as an adjunct fellow at the Hudson Institute.

Background
Rosett earned a BA in English at Yale University in 1976, an MA in English at Columbia University in 1979, and an MBA at the University of Chicago in 1981.

Rosett joined The Wall Street Journal in 1984, and was named editorial page editor at The Asian Wall Street Journal in Hong Kong in 1986. In 1996, she worked in Moscow, first as a reporter for the Journal, then as Moscow Bureau Chief, before taking leave to live in India. In 1997, she returned to New York, where she served on the editorial board of The Wall Street Journal until 2002. She wrote a regular column, "The Real World,” for The Wall Street Journal Europe and OpinionJournal.com from July 2000 to December 2005.

In 1990, she received an Overseas Press Club Citation for Excellence in recognition of her on-the-scene reporting of the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989. In 1994 she broke the full story of North Korean labor camps in the Russian Far East, reporting from the camps. She also broke the U.N.'s Oil for Food scandal; the largest public fraud in history.

Rosett, also contributed to National Review, The New York Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer, USA Today, Commentary, The New Republic and The Weekly Standard, among others.

Rosett died on May 27, 2023, at the age of 67.

On the United Nations
Rosett was a frequent critic of corruption in the United Nations. In 2004 and 2005, she wrote a series of articles exposing the corruption behind the U.N.'s Oil-for-Food program. As Michael Barone, a senior writer at U.S. News & World Report, explained:

The U.N. Oil for Food program, we learn from the reporting of Claudia Rosett in The Wall Street Journal, was a rip-off on the order of $21 billion—with money intended for hungry Iraqis going instead to Saddam Hussein and his henchmen, to bribed French and Russian businesses and, evidently, to the U.N.'s own man in charge, Benon Sevan. For this work, she was honored with the 2005 Eric Breindel Award for Excellence in Opinion Journalism and a "Mightier Pen" award from the Center for Security Policy.

In June and July 2006, Rosett covered the trial of Tongsun Park via a blog at the National Review's website.

Gumbel and Bradshaw were the only hosts from 1990-93, so you might want to remove the "?" in the third column. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 00:47, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

Pat O'Brien and Lesley Visser were also on The NFL Today during that particular period. I'm assuming that they were reporters and delivered feature stories.User:TMC1982

Dick Butkus
Dick Butkus was on The NFL Today from 1988-1989. Butkus pretty much replaced Jimmy the Greek's spot on the show.User:TMC1982

Charlsie Cantey
Charlsie Cantey filled-in for Phyllis George (who was on maternity leave) on The NFL Today halfway through the 1983 season.User:TMC1982

Lesley Visser
Shouldnt she be in the table since she was in the early ones, and has the same role now?

Clarification
Technically, Brent Musburger was flat out fired by CBS (on April Fools Day of 1990) rather than simply not having his contract removed. Musburger was in a messy contract dispute with CBS (along with his brother who was his agent at the time) mainly over money and choice of assignments. It got so bad that CBS named him to be their lead baseball announcer (beginning in 1990), only to pull him just weeks before CBS' first scheduled baseball telecast. CBS seemed to want to further embarrass Musburger by making him call the 1990 NCAA men's basketball final dispite the fact that Musburger knew going in that he was going to be gone.

Irv Cross was still associated with CBS on through the 1993 NFL season. Cross though, was demoted to the role of game analyst and I believe, was forced to take a paycut.User:TMC1982

Sidney Kidman

Sir Sidney Kidman (9 May 1857 – 2 September 1935), known as Sid Kidman and popularly named "the Cattle King", was an Australian pastoralist and entrepreneur who owned or co-owned large areas of land in Australia in his lifetime.

Early life
Sidney Kidman was born on 9 May 1857 in Adelaide, in the colony of South Australia, the third son of George Kidman (died December 1857), farmer, and his wife Elizabeth Mary, née Nunn. Kidman’s Childhood home was located on Maryvale Road in Athelstone, Adelaide. Kidman was educated at private schools in Norwood and left his home near Adelaide at age 13 with only five shillings and a one-eyed horse aptly named Cyclops that he had bought with his savings. He joined a drover and learned quickly. He then worked as a roustabout and bullock-driver at Poolamacca cattle station, and Mount Gipps Station. and later as a drover, stockman and livestock trader. He made money trading whatever was needed, and supplying services (transport, goods, a butcher shop) to new mining towns springing up in outback New South Wales and South Australia, (including Cobar, Kapunda, Burra and eventually Broken Hill). After he and his brothers worked on the same station, they bought their own.

On 30 June 1885, Kidman married Isabel Brown Wright. They had four children.

Enterprise
Kidman saved money and bought a bullock team, opened a butcher's shop and store at the Cobar copper rush, and made good profits. When he was 21 he inherited £400 from his grandfather's estate and used the money to buy and sell horses and cattle. Kidman was in his middle twenties when he acquired a one-fourteenth share in the BHP mine for 10 bullocks worth about £4 each. He sold his share for £150 less £50 commission and was satisfied with the profit. He had mail contracts on a fairly large scale and in 1886 bought Owen Springs Station. Gradually he extended his holdings until they reached out into Queensland and New South Wales.

In 1895 Kidman, in partnership with his brother Sackville, acquired Cowarie Station.

In 1896, Kidman bought his first property in Queensland, Annandale Station, situated in the Channel Country and described as ideal fattening country for cattle.

In 1899 he acquired Eringa Station in South Australia, Austral Downs (NT), and Carcoory Station.

By 1903, Kidman owned or was a part owner of some 38000 sqmi of country ranging from the Carlton Hill Station in Western Australia to Victoria River Downs Station in the Northern Territory and Macumba Station in South Australia, and properties in the channel county of Queensland, including Annandale and Bulloo Downs.

Kidman acquired Diamantina Lakes Station in 1908, paying A£25,000 for the station and all its stock. Later in 1908, he bought the 700 km2 Mount Poole Station in outback New South Wales. The estimated size of Kidman's holdings in 1908 was 50000 sqmi.

Another large Channel Country property, Durham Downs Station, was bought in 1909. Kidman bought the property along with Tilbaroo, Morney Plains and Durrie Stations in Queensland, Burrawinna on the border and Macumba Station in South Australia as part of his plan of acquiring prime grazing lands along areas that watercourses followed. He borrowed A£50,000 to pay the A£100,000 asking price. Kidman and the company Bovril Australian Estates purchased Carlton Hill Station in the Kimberley region of Western Australia in 1909 along with another two stations, one being Northcote and Victoria River Downs in the Northern Territory, for £200,000. Boorara Station was acquired in 1913. Kidman acquired Yancannia Station in far western New South Wales in 1916, followed by Corona Station, also in the far west of New South Wales, in 1917.

In 1916, Kidman invested in Glenroy Station with the owners at the time, Reginald Spong and Jabez Orchard, forming the Glenroy Pastoral Company. He acquired the Urisino station in 1913 along with Elsinora and Thurloo Downs in outback New South Wales from Goldsbrough Mort & Co. In 1924, Kidman acquired Merty Merty Station in outback South Australia.

By the time World War I broke out, Kidman was a millionaire. He was knighted in the 1921 Birthday Honours for his support of the war effort.

Kidman's entrepreneurial initiatives extended to many other rural industries. Probably his only unsuccessful business venture was the Kidman & Mayoh shipyard, which he established with engineer brothers Arthur and Joseph Mayoh in the Sydney suburb of Putney when the Commonwealth Government called for 24 wooden ships to be built by various companies for the war effort. The company employed hundreds of men to fell and square heavy timber on the north coast of New South Wales. With labour in short supply, "bush carpenters" went from the north coast to work in the shipyard, assisting the skilled shipwrights. However, on cessation of hostilities the government reduced Kidman & Mayoh's contract from six to two. Early in 1920 the Australian trading company, Burns Philp, made an offer to the government to buy the two ships. However, the first ship – reported as "the largest wooden ship ever built in Australia" – was damaged on launching and failed to receive its necessary first-class certification. A saga of litigation followed, and the vessels, one stripped of usable timber, were burned in 1923. Kidman lost many thousands of pounds, but was reported to have said that his biggest regret was that the work of the superb axemen of the north coast forests, with their enthusiasm, craftsmanship and loyalty, all went for nothing.

By then known as "the Cattle King", Kidman retired in 1927.

At the time of his death in 1935, Kidman owned, or had a large interest in, land variously stated to have covered from 85000 sqmi to 107000 sqmi, the latter figure equating to 3.7 per cent of the area of Australia's mainland. On 68 separate stations were stocked about 176,000 head of cattle and 215,000 head of sheep. They comprised a vast network from both the Gulf of Carpentaria and the Fitzroy River in Western Australia down into South Australia near the Flinders Ranges and also across New South Wales. He was well served by his vision of drought-proofing his empire through growing and fattening cattle on the remote stations in the north and bringing them down the lines of stations along the great inland river systems to markets in the south, providing good feed and water on the way to sell them in top condition.

Character
Kidman was most at home around the campfire but comfortable with civic leaders. He animated extraordinary loyalty from his employees; working for Kidman was a "sort of badge of pride".

Death
Following a brief illness, Sidney Kidman died at his home at 76 Northgate Street, Millswood (now Unley Park), aged 78, on 2 September 1935. His body was interred at the Mitcham Cemetery in the presence of hundreds of mourners; his cortege extended for more than 1.5 mi. He left most of his £300,000 estate to his family and to charities.

Legacy
Kidman donated his home in Kapunda, which he acquired around 1900 and called Eringa after Eringa Station, to the Education Department in 1921. It was used as the administration building for the Kapunda High School, later heritage-listed, and extensively renovated in 2011–12. The building was gutted by fire on the night of 29 March 2022, with extensive damage to the roof.

The Adelaide suburb of Kidman Park was named in his honour. The Kidman Way, a rural road in the western region of New South Wales, part of which was historically used by Kidman and his business enterprise as stock routes, carries his name.

S. Kidman & Co is still the largest private landholder in Australia, although on a much smaller scale. The entire landholding was placed up for sale in 2015: eleven cattle stations covering more than 100,000 km2 and a herd of 155,000 cattle. The total value of the company was estimated at A$360 million. Two Chinese companies, Genius Link Asset Management and Shanghai Pengxin, sought to acquire the company, but the sale was eventually blocked by the Treasurer of Australia, Scott Morrison who cited the national interest clause in the Foreign Investment Act. In 2016, the company was purchased by Hancock Prospecting (67%) and Shanghai CRED (33%).

In 1992, Kidman's Tree of Knowledge, at Glengyle Station, Bedourie, Queensland, was listed on the Queensland Heritage Register. Kidman is believed to have camped under the tree while planning his pastoral empire in Queensland.

Kidman’s ‘stonehouse’ childhood home in Athelstone was a heritage listed Building of Adelaide up until 2024 when it was demolished in early May. The home was sold and bought in the early-mid 1980s and rented out to local tenants. A Female tenant, who was last to live in the home, was broken into and raped on a warm night in about 1985-86. Since then it was never rented out again. The house was sold and bought again (dates unknown). The next owner of the house at the time started renovation to the house in the early 1990s, adding a front section of rooms made of brick. After an issue with the contracted bricklayers the house was left un-renovated, un-completed and left to perish in the weather, with piles of brand new bricks and over growing plants for over 30 years. The owner would then agree to sell the property in 2024 with it being forced to be demolished due to unrepairable damage. The house was flattened in May 2024 ready to be turned into housing development.

In popular culture
In 1936, a biography of Kidman titled The Cattle King, by Ion Idriess, was published; it became a best-seller.

Assegai

An assegai or assagai is a polearm used for throwing, usually a light spear or javelin made up of a wooden handle with an iron tip.

Area of use
The use of various types of the assegai was widespread all over Africa and it was the most common weapon used before the introduction of firearms. The Zulu, Xhosa, and other Nguni tribes of South Africa were renowned for their use of the assegai.

Iklwa
Shaka of the Zulu popularized the use of the shorter stabbing spear with a 610 mm shaft and a larger, broader blade 300 mm long in warfare, which was traditionally used primarily as a hunting spear. This weapon is otherwise known as the iklwa or ixwa, after the sound that was heard as it was withdrawn from the victim's wound. The traditional spear was not abandoned, but was used to range attack enemy formations before closing in for close quarters battle with the iklwa. This tactical combination originated during Shaka's military reforms. This weapon was typically used with one hand while the off hand held a cowhide shield for protection.

Botany
It is also the name of a southern African tree (Curtisia dentata) whose wood was suitable for making spears or lances, most notably by the Bantu-speaking people of southern Africa.

Assagai

Assagai was an Afro-rock band, active in the early 1970s in London, whose relatively short career produced two albums recorded in 1971. It has been described as "the second best-known African group of the late 60s/early 70s in Britain" after Osibisa.

History
The original band consisted of five members, three from South Africa and two from Nigeria: drummer Louis Moholo, trumpeter/flautist Mongezi Feza, alto saxophonist Dudu Pukwana, tenor saxophonist Bizo Mngqikana, and guitarist/bassist Fred Coker — the latter, according to Rob Fitzpatrick in The Guardian, "helped guide Assagai into position as the only real West African competition to the super-star firepower of Ghana's Osibisa" before Coker left Assagai to replace Spartacus R in Osibisa. Canterbury scene keyboardist Alan Gowen and King Crimson percussionist Jamie Muir were also briefly members (1971-72).

The band recorded for the British label Vertigo Records, and are thought to be "the only African or 'Black' band ever signed" by the label.

Assagai's self-titled debut album was released in 1971; among the African musicians who played with the group on the recording was Terri Quaye. Assagai was reissued on CD by Repertoire Records in 1994. The band's second and final album, Zimbabwe (with cover artwork by Roger Dean), was released later in 1971. It was re-released as LP by Music for Pleasure label, but under a different title, AfroRock. Both Assagai albums featured songs written by members of the British group Jade Warrior and included guest appearances from them as well.

Previously, in the 1960s Pukwana, Feza and Moholo had been members of the jazz band The Blue Notes alongside Chris McGregor.

Albums

 * Assagai, Vertigo Records, 1971 (LP #6360 030); Repertoire Records, 1994 (CD #REP 4448-WP)
 * Zimbabwe, Vertigo, 1971 (LP #6360 058); re-released as AfroRock, Music for Pleasure, 1975 (SPR 90054)

Chandler (software)

Chandler is a discontinued personal information management software suite described by its developers as a "Note-to-Self Organizer" designed for personal and small-group task management and calendaring. It is free software, previously released under the GNU General Public License, and now released under the Apache License 2.0. It is inspired by a PIM from the 1980s called Lotus Agenda, notable because of its "free-form" approach to information management. Lead developer of Agenda, Mitch Kapor, was also involved in the vision and management of Chandler.

Chandler consists of a cross-platform desktop application (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux), the Chandler Hub Sharing Service, Chandler Server, Chandler Quick Entry for iPhone, and Chandler Quick Entry for Android. Version 1.0 of the software was released on August 8, 2008.

Chandler was developed by the Open Source Applications Foundation (OSAF). It is named after the mystery novelist Raymond Chandler.

Chandler design goals
Chandler aimed to create a workflow for personal information management different from that in other PIMs. Its approach is mainly based in creating a unified representation for the storage of tasks and information so that they can be classified in a homogeneous way, refining that information through an iterative workflow, and allowing easy collaboration on the defined items. Other goals included:
 * Build on open source software that supports open standards, choosing projects that are reliable, well documented, and widely used
 * Use the Python language at the top level to orchestrate low level, higher performance code
 * Design a platform that supports an extensible modular architecture
 * For the desktop client, choose a cross-platform user interface toolkit that provides native user experience
 * Use a persistent object database
 * Build in security from the ground up
 * Build an architecture that supports sharing, communication, and collaboration

Reception
The first public releases of Chandler generated expectations to provide a flexible and general information management tool, because of its heritage of concepts from Agenda and usage of principles from the Getting Things Done management method. Early responses praised its open nature and its unified approach to management of different information types.

Despite this, the lack of a stable version and the small developer base diminished public interest in the project. In January 2008, Mitch Kapor announced that he was leaving the board and would only finance Chandler until the end of 2008. After that, OSAF released a 1.0 version. Jake Edge from LWN.net called this move a "last gasp attempt to build a community of users and developers to continue Chandler development down the road", speculating that the lack of developers was caused by the close control of the project by OSAF, and this end of its funding could attract attention again.

There have been no releases since 2009.

In popular culture
Chandler is the subject of the non-fiction book Dreaming in Code: Two Dozen Programmers, Three Years, 4732 Bugs, and One Quest for Transcendent Software by Scott Rosenberg.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Holocaust controversy

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was delete.

Holocaust controversy
This isn't an article, completely POV. AndyL 04:44, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

This "128.59.156.197" again. Please substantiate your claims. What in the Holocaust Denial article is covered in the Holocaust Controversy article? What between the two articles is the same in terms of intention? I also see no responses in the talk page of the Holocaust Controversy article. I strongly see controversies that do not have to do with Holocaust Denial, meaning not having to do with whether the Holocaust really occurred, whether there is some kind of Jewish conspiracy, or in numbers of Jews that died. There is healthy debate in academia regarding the politicization (and commercialism) of the memory and history of the Holocaust, its uniqueness, and its moral implications. Ariel Sharon, for example, recently justified Israeli foreign policy on the basis of the Holocaust. I'm not saying he's wrong, but that's quite a statement. I would hope Wikipedia could reflect the debate within academia. This "128.59.156.197" again again. Take a look at the talk page for Holocaust Denial. You will Jayjg completely denies any possibility for legitimate revisionism when it comes to Holocaust histories when for academics, nothing is beyond revision. He seems to be either using multiple identities or working in conjunction with a group to shout down anyone that tries to differentiate between deniers and serious academic revisionists. I think it's gross that people would deny the actual occurence of the Holocaust. But do you think the strong feelings of nationalism during the time of state-formation of Israel would influence their view of the history of the Holocaust? This is a well-known phenomenon that is illustrated here: The Future of the Past: Historiographical Disputes and Competing Memories in Germany and Israel. Daniel Levy. History and Theory, Vol. 38, No. 1. (Feb., 1999), pp. 51-66. He talks about nationalism influence German and Israeli views. That's why I think Sharon's statement is important. He's not necessarily wrong but he has a lot more incentive to take one perspective over another in order to justify current Israeli foreign policy. I apologize for listing here, but no one is going to the talk page of the article to discuss there so I felt this was the best way to encourage substantial debate.

 * Cleanup. Severely cleanup. I see nothing wrong with the intention of the article, and it is obviously not a POV fork. It is a separate article on points of contention on histories of the Holocaust, not representing any single point of view. The Holocaust article is huge already and this is a way of allowing it to tell the mainstream history while this article can talk about what points are disputed or may be slanted.

I'm not him, though you know what's interesting? That paper is from a class I took on the Holocaust. I wouldn't be surprised if he's at another university taking a similar class.--160.39.194.93 08:14, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Or even the same university. Both 128.59.156.197 and 160.39.194.93 are registered to Columbia University in New York. Also, 128 complains that no one's going to the talk page, but hasn't done so himself/herself; but 160 has, so I think even 128's getting confused about which IP address s/he's used to post where. You're not supposed to vote twice. SlimVirgin 08:51, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC)

Okay great, now see, I'm the one that brought up the university connection and I guess I should've done a reverse lookup, but doesn't that make even more sense that two university students, now I suspect having taken/taking probably the same class even, would be the only one posting serious papers? Don't you think if I wanted to I could register a bunch of names and do it that way in a lot more concealed way? I think we should focus on the issues here.--160.39.194.93 18:11, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Pueblo music

Pueblo music includes the music of the Hopi, Zuni, Taos Pueblo, San Ildefonso, Santo Domingo, and many other Puebloan peoples, and according to Bruno Nettl features one of the most complex Native American musical styles on the continent. Characteristics include common use of hexatonic and heptatonic scales, variety of form, melodic contour, and percussive accompaniment, melodic range averaging between an octave and a twelfth, with rhythmic complexity equal to the Plains Indians musical sub-area.

Nettl cites the Kachina dance songs as the most complex songs and the music of Hopi and Zuni  as the most complex of the Pueblo, while Tanoan and Keresan music is simpler and intermediate between the Plains and western Pueblos. The music of the Pima and Papago is intermediary between the Plains-Pueblo and the California-Yuman music areas, with melodic movement of the Yuman, though including the rise, and the form and rhythm of the Pueblo. (Nettl 1956, p. 112-113)

Work songs are found in Pueblo music, but are otherwise mostly unknown among Native American folk music (Nettl, 1965, p. 152). One well-known melody from the Zuni people is Zuni Sunrise or The Sunrise Call, a song frequently played on Native American flute. This melody was initially collected by Carlos Troyer and published in an arrangement for voice and piano in 1904.
