Votes for Deletion
Thanks for the compliment over on VfD. So much weirdness comes and goes on that page that it's actually refreshing to read something that made me laugh out loud. Now that you have a user name, why not take a look at some of the guideline pages like Manual of style and What Wikipedia is not? As for the sockpuppet comment left by myself and others, those are a pretty common occurance as well. It simply refers to a rash of "keep" votes (and sometimes "delete" votes) from anonymous users or new users with no prior edits. Anyway, I'm sure I speak for a number of users when I say "welcome." Now, have fun with some real articles! I know you will. - Lucky 6.9 02:01, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Election results
I'll try to remember to add the sources. As a guide, while I've usually looked at multiple sources, the first place I look is the Guardian website for results from '92, psr.keele.ac.uk for results from '51 to '87, Leigh Rayment's Peerage Page for lists of MPs and the F. W. S. Craig books for results from 1832 to 1950. Warofdreams talk 09:18, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Lewes
Have you looked at the PDF Talk:Lewes (UK Parliament constituency) (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Lewes_Parliament_1295-1885.pdf) I uploaded this some time ago but I haven't had time to go through it. Jooler 23:09, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm sure I can get the actual results for 1885-1955 from the library (which is where I found that booklet) at the weekend. Jooler

I spent some time going through and checking the OCR, so the searchable version should be reasonably accurate Jooler 23:26, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

 * I discovered yestersday that if you have a local authority library card (certainly for East Sussex anyway), that you can access the digital archives of The Times for free by using the subscription of the library. Using this information I have been able to fill in most of the results for the Lewes constituency between 1885 and 1950, see User:Jooler/sandbox. I still need to make some corrections to it before I add it to the article. Do you live in the UK? Jooler 18:59, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

I think I read somewhere that Fitzroy switched sides... in fact I've just remembered where. It's in a book about Lewes... just hunting it down .... 5 minutes later... got it. He first stood as a Conservative and then became a Liberal (no dates), became Lord of the Admiralty in 1845. if it's not online elsewhere I'll look at the Times obituary. It's bloody useful having discovered that I can access that. Do you have a library card for your local authority? Jooler 19:54, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

I can also access the Encyclopaedia Britannica and the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography through the library membership subscription and the later has a biography for him, but it is copyright so I can't post it. It says "He joined the Peelites, was quite close to Gladstone, and ultimately became a Liberal" - no dates. I can't access Britannica at the moment due to "high traffic levels" or so it says. Erm.. there may be some question as to the date of his death. The DONB gives 22 December 1859 as does the Wikipedia article, but I am looking at an edition of The Times from Tuesday 20th December 1859, which states "We deeply regret to announce the death of the Rt. Hon. Henry Fitzroy ... on Sautrday last ..." - that would mean he died on 17th December 1859. Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a full obit. In the edtion for 17th Jan 1860 there is a report of the unopposed election of his successor on 16th January, 1860, one John George Blencowe (apparently maternally descended from another former Lewes Liberal MP Sir. Francis Poole who sat as the MP 100 years before (or so the article says) 22:12, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

British Peoples Party
Thanks for the reply - I've created British Peoples Party, 2005 with a link on the original British Peoples Party. After all this I hope they don't follow the usual pattern of minority parties by splitting before the elections! =) doktorb | words 11:12, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Baronetage
Great work recategorizing all those baronets! Mackensen (talk) 23:11, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * You can also check against hereditarytitles.com or thePeerage. All else fails, see if the local library has Burke's or something similar. Mackensen (talk) 23:44, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Martin Conway seems to be a mistake; see . Mackensen (talk) 23:47, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

East Hampshire
Thank you for the note - I was deleting a few redirects which had been created to different constituencies. I intended to delete Petersfield (UK Parliament constituency) but accidentally deleted East Hampshire (UK Parliament constituency) instead, and failed to notice this. I've now undeleted it, so many thanks for the warning. Warofdreams talk 13:28, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Crispin Agnew of Lochnaw
Hey...I see that you moved this article to Crispin Agnew. The way that I understand Scots Law (which is not very well, mind you), the "of Lochnaw" is an integral part of Sir Crispin's name. Is it OK if I move it back to the original title? For other examples of this, see Thomas Innes of Learney and Malcolm Innes of Edingight. Thanks.-- E va   d  b  10:54, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Heraldry Portal?
Hey. I've proposed the creation of an heraldic portal. If you think that such a thing would be helpful, you can voice your support HERE and hopefully we can get the heraldry category items organized better. Thanks for all your hard work on heraldic topics.-- E va   d  b  08:54, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Great maps! (Oxford Council election 2006)
A rather belated thank you for the very good vote distribution maps you made for Oxford Council election 2006. I was going to try to make a map showing distribution of seats but yours was so much better that I gave up on mine! Tamino 08:18, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the expansion. You've saved me the trouble!--Runcorn 19:31, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

William Lithgow
Hi - Hope you won't mind if I say I was quite surprised to see you had re-titled the article on Sir William Lithgow. My impression is that WikiP likes to keep honorifics out of page titles if possible and I wonder if the '2nd Baronet' bit is really necessary - since it doesn't seem to be generally used and there are no other Sir WLs to confuse him with. But perhaps you would interpret the MoS differently? Originally I felt disambig'ing him with the word 'industrialist' was quite a suitable description - it's something he says about himself, and something journalists say about him. Anyway - not of earth-shattering importance - but I'd be interested to hear your take on this. Thanks --HJMG 21:10, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your note - yes, I see what you mean - but I'm still not sure that the bit you quoted is completely clear! In context it could be read as a description of how to disambig one Bt from another. I suppose I also have in mind guidelines favouring simple page titles. Anyway, as long as things are clear for the reader, it doesn't matter much. And thanks for catching the birthday - don't know why I hadn't included it first time round.--HJMG 07:01, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

William Philip Colfox
I'm a little confused about your removal of the OR template on this article. I'm guessing you can clear up what I'm missing more easily than I can figure it out myself, so I'm asking for your assistance in that regard. The article appears to have been started by a descendant of the subject written from his memory per the edit summary. That's why I added the template. Did I misunderstand?

WikiProject Baronetcies
Great to have you on board. What do you mean by categorising baronets please? - Kittybrewster 19:55, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Again, terrific. All help is much appreciated and your contributions to date are excellent. Sadly, there are too few of us. - Kittybrewster 21:13, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

David Scott (MP)
I see that back in January this year, you challenged the factual basis of the article at David Scott (MP). I agree, so I have tagged it as a proposed deletion. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 20:44, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

British Nobility and Thomas Cochrane
Why did you remove the British Nobility tag for Lord Admiral Thomas Cochrane? Are you some kind of Scottish Nationalist? I demand you reinsert it immediately. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dickscotts (talk • contribs) 16:17, 8 May 2007 (UTC).
 * I removed a category from this article, yes. This is because the category indicated that the article was a stub: It is not a stub and is now a fully fledged article. I do not deny he is a member of the British nobility, and in fact I left in tact categories to indicate this. New Progressive 16:23, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Ralph Regula
Is the second longest currently serving Republican Representative after Bill Young. Don Young became a Congressman in March 1973 after a special election, this was 2 months after Regula took the oath. Please look at their pages or the List of current United States Representatives by seniority for more details.  mind you... that's just currently serving Representatives, Robert H. Michel served longer than any of the currently serving Republican Representatives and both William Broomfield and Joseph M. McDade have served less time than Bill Young but more time than Regula. So Regula is probably 5th overall among living Republican Representatives.  Then there's the fact that those names are from my list of Congressmen who served 36 years or more so I don't know if there are any others who served between 35 years (Regula's tenure) and 36 years but that won't matter with regards to Regula in another year anyway.. Am I anal enough for you?--Dr who1975 (talk) 20:26, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello. Your pages on the Genealogy Wikia have largely survived with little change while you have been absent from the editing group.

Proposed deletion of Graham Vincent-Smith

The article Graham Vincent-Smith has been proposed for deletion  because of the following concern:
 * I could not find anything substantial to show academic notability per WP:PROF. Citations in GScholar and MathSciNet are quite low, no articles in top-level journals and nothing else of significance that I can see.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Nsk92 (talk) 02:10, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

On peerages etc.
The new Debrett's reportedly says that Lord Ilchester's heir born in 1972 is deceased. As far as the 7th Marquess of Downshire goes he succeeded to the peerage the month after his 24th birthday and died the month before his 95th so there is no "surely later" about his entering the Lords in 1918 unless he chose to defer taking the oath.LE (talk) 19:41, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

Westside Community Schools

Westside Community Schools, also known locally as District 66, is the third largest school district in Omaha, Nebraska, United States. The district has one high school, one middle school, ten elementary schools, and one alternative high school. The district is in the center-west part of Omaha, between the Omaha Public Schools district and the Millard Public Schools district. Westside also has over 2,000 "opt-in" students, with most coming from OPS.

History
In 1946, residents of four rural school districts located in what was then farming areas to the west of Omaha began holding discussions about combining resources, which led to a proposal to merge the four districts. In 1947, three of the districts—Districts 31, 46 and 65—agreed to merge to create District 66. A junior-senior high school for the district was founded in 1952 where Westside High School is located today.

Recent events
The high school, Westside High School, has purchased about 2,000 MacBook computers in the "1:1 Initiative". Each high school student is issued one at the beginning of the year. They are used by students throughout the school year, and then returned at the end of this time. The intent of the initiative was to offer each student the same technological opportunities. Westside Middle School followed in the footsteps of the high school and bought about 1,000 computers for the 7th and 8th graders, with the same rules and constraints as the high school students. Elementary school students also have access to MacBook computers, as well as iPads.

In 2012, the board of education announced that Dr. Blane McCann had been selected as superintendent.

In 2021 the school issued an apology after their "quote of the day" program included a saying by Adolf Hitler.

Talk:Ipso facto

Untitled
Ipso facto is defined as a Latin phrase. While it is of Latin origin it is now in English dictionaries, and I suspect in dictionaries of other languages. How can we clearly state this?
 * I think the page makes it clear. —Casey J. Morris 22:13, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

As a term of art
The page says this in the intro: "It is a term of art used in philosophy, law and science." However, the page currently only discusses (briefly) law. How is it a term of art in Science and Philosophy? That is not yet discussed at all. RedSource (talk) 03:33, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Use in ICJ
Statute of the International Court of Justice, June 26, 1945 "2. The states parties to the present Statute may at any time declare that they recognize as compulsory ipso facto and without special agreement, in relation to any other state accepting the same obligation, the jurisdiction of the Court in all legal disputes concerning: a. the interpretation of a treaty; b. any question of international law; c. the existence of any fact which, if established, would constitute a breach of an international obligation; d. the nature or extent of the reparation to be made for the breach of an international obligation. "

Not sure how to work this in but it is a good exapmle of ipso facto in the context of an international text. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sarterus (talk • contribs) 18:39, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Italics and Sentence Structure.
When writing in English, the convention is to italicise words that are not English, especially Latin words.

In addition, you don't say "the marriage would be void ipso facto", but "ipso facto, the marriage would be void", or "the marriage would be ipso facto void". Hullaballoo84 16:54, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

"Ipso facto" versus "ipse facto"
I am currently reading Hegel's text The Philosophy of History -- specifically, the translation by J. Sibree (New York: Dover, 1956). At various places in the text, Hegel uses "ipse facto" rather than "ipso facto" as in: "In agriculture itself is involved, ipse facto, the cessation of a roaming life" (p. 101). What is the difference, if any, between ipso facto and ipse facto? Drval 19:08, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * My latin is limited (and very rusty) having only done two years at school around a decade ago but I believe ipso is itself while ipse is himself. I'm not quite sure though how that fits with your quote though...Azo bob (talk) 17:56, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Question...
Perhaps someone could remember if this phrase was used in a movie? tv show? I remember a character saying it, however google has been less than helpful.
 * It was used in Justice League, Animal Crackers, Fierce Creatures, and The Man With Two Brains. That's all I could find on IMDB for quotes. 129.64.141.43 01:22, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, I just heard it on the "There's Something about Paulie" Family Guy episode. That's really wierd. 129.64.141.43 02:37, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
 * its also in Camp Lazlo which is why i came here to see if it was real71.131.33.187 18:31, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Bart Simpson says "Ipso fatso" in Bart the Mother --Closedmouth 14:38, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Jon Stewart uses the phrase often on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart N.f.vd.boogaard 15:58, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

It is also used in the american sitcom '8 Simple Rules', spoken by the character Bridget Hennesey. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.173.18.191 (talk) 22:40, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

WTF??? Who cares? Wikipedia is not a collection of uses of words in TV shows. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.31.132.44 (talk) 13:43, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Then what about all the "in popular culture" sections? Synetech (talk) 12:30, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Please check this sentence
Last sentence of of Legal Uses section reads, "The act is ipso facto because it is done as a cover for something else..." Should this be, "The act is ipso facto illegal because it is done as a cover for something else..."? If you think the proposed change is correct, please make the change. I don't understand this phrase well enough to judge. ike9898 (talk) 13:44, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Ipso Facto in the context of "Ought"
I would like to see a discussion or have someone expound on this term and its broader uses. For example, you will behave as such for my word is law, ipso facto. Or for a better example: "Moreover, because information is presumed to be a public good, markets are ipso facto supposed to produce and disseminate a suboptimal amount of information." Taken from Robert Higgs' article 'Banning a Risky Product Cannot Improve Any Consumer's Welfare (Properly Understood), with Applications to FDA Testing Requirements'. This is near the beginning of the article. But the term ipso facto used in conjuction with the very word 'supposed' implies a different use of the term. Any thoughts? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ahall12 (talk • contribs) 12:49, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Examples needed
I believe that this page could become much clearer if other examples of the use of the phrase ipso facto were used. While the example of money laundering is good, I think that a couple of more examples, especially if they were non-legal, would help clarify the meaning and usage of this important phrase. For example: Phil, an alien living in the USA cannot obtain a US Passport. This could also be phrased: Phil, as an alien living in the USA, ipso facto cannot obtain a US Passport. This is not a great example, but I am sure others can do better.

I have no knowledge of Latin, so I do not feel qualified to edit this entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.144.68.130 (talk) 13:54, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

I disagree that the money laundering example is good - it's a phrase where something is *not* ipso facto the case. That's confusing. Better would be a positive phrase. Millberlin (talk) 14:41, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Tampering? Nonsense sentence seen in article.
Look at the last sentence in the section noted. What in the world is that nonsense phrase an electrical supervisor of the tunnel supposed to say?

In Catholic canon law Main article: Latae sententiae Ipso facto denotes the automatic character of the loss of membership in a religious body by someone guilty of a specified action. Within the canon law of the Catholic Church, the phrase latte sententiae is more commonly used than ipso facto with regard to ecclesiastical penalties such as excommunication. It indicates that the effect follows even if no verdict (in Latin, sententia) is pronounced by an electrical supervisor of the tunnel[clarification needed].

The Challenge (TV series)

The Challenge (originally known as Road Rules: All Stars, followed by Real World/Road Rules Challenge) is a reality competition show on MTV that is a spin-off of two of the network's reality shows, The Real World and Road Rules. Premiering in 1998, it originally featured alumni from these two shows. Casting for The Challenge has slowly expanded to include contestants who debuted on The Challenge itself, alumni from other MTV franchises including Are You the One?, Ex on the Beach (Brazil, UK and US), Geordie Shore, siblings and friends, and from other non-MTV shows and competitions. The contestants compete against one another in various extreme challenges to avoid elimination. The winners of the final challenge win the competition and typically share a large cash prize. The Challenge is currently hosted by T. J. Lavin.

The series premiered on June 1, 1998. The show was originally titled Road Rules: All Stars, and had notable Real World alumni participated in a Road Rules style road-trip. It was renamed Real World/Road Rules Challenge for the 2nd season, then later abridged to simply The Challenge by the show's 19th season. Since the fourth season, each season has supplied the show with a unique subtitle, such as Rivals. Each season consists of a format and theme from which the subtitle is derived.

The show's most recent season, Battle for a New Champion, premiered on October 25, 2023. The upcoming season, Battle of the Eras is scheduled to premiere on August 14, 2024.

Overview
The Challenge casts are season-specific as the cast varies from season to season. The casts are made up of contestants originating from one of The Challenge's related TV programs and, in a few seasons, previously unknown contestants. The cast usually contains both "veterans" (or vets) and "rookies". Veterans are thought of as players that have won at least one Challenge season or have appeared on several seasons of the show; Rookies refer to newer players. Many recent alumni come from various reality shows including Survivor, The Amazing Race, Are You the One?, Big Brother, Ex on the Beach and Love Island.

A season's typical multitude of cast members are usually divided up into separate teams or pairs according to a certain criterion, which varies from season to season. The criteria that teams have been arranged by over the show's history have ranged from gender, the contestants' original show, heroic or villainous status, rivals, countries, family members and ex-romantic partners of contestants. Each of the opposing teams compete in numerous missions in order to win prizes and advance in the overall game. The format of the competition varies by season. In elimination rounds, contestants or teams compete against one another to determine which one is eliminated from the season. Each season has its own, distinctive elimination round, distinguished from those of other seasons in title, design, and general atmosphere. Determining which two teams or two cast members are sent into the episode's elimination round frequently leads to drama and "dirty" gameplay; this is due to the show's contestants being in charge of who is thrown into elimination rounds. Like, that of The Real World, sporadically throughout the course of each episode, various contestants are seen privately expressing themselves through reality TV confessionals about the events taking place on the show.

Some seasons, however, have used entirely different formats from the typical ones: The Island is one Challenge in particular that adopted many features atypical to Real World/Road Rules Challenge, instead taking concepts like that of another reality television game show Survivor; as another example, the first season (Road Rules: All Stars) ironically, only included contestants from The Real World and consisted of a much smaller cast before the show was completely restructured in its second season. Except for season one, a monetary prize has always been the award for winning the final mission.

Hosts
The series initially used no hosts but instead a former cast member who had been kicked off his or her season, providing assignments as "Mr." or "Ms. Big" (David "Puck" Rainey, David Edwards, and Gladys Sanabria served this role). After one season without anyone in this role, the series began using hosts: Eric Nies and Mark Long co-hosted a season, and Jonny Moseley and Dave Mirra hosted various seasons before T. J. Lavin became the show's regular host by the 11th season.

History
Over time, a playful rivalry developed between the cast of Road Rules and The Real World, with the former occasionally attempting to prank the latter while it was in production. During the filming of The Real World: Boston and Road Rules: Islands, the two casts met while the Real World cast was vacationing in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Producers set up a face-off where both teams would compete for a cash prize. The challenge brought in high ratings and this set ideas in motion to produce yet another spin-off series. After another face-off called AquaGames, hosted by Kit Hoover and Mark Long, between The Real World: Seattle and Road Rules: Down Under in 1998, the Challenge series was born in 1998 with Road Rules: All Stars, and featured cast members from five seasons of The Real World.

After All Stars, producers decided to include former cast members of Road Rules in the series as well. In the next season, two six-member teams were sent around the world in a competition to see which show could best the other in head-to-head competition. The series followed the format for three years and brought in hugely successful ratings.

Following the hugely successful boom of reality television in the new millennium, from shows like Survivor, producers decided to add new elements to the series. 2002's Battle of the Seasons was the first season to depart from the previous six-member structure and brought in a large group of former cast members to compete in one location. The show added in eliminations that added an additional layer of scheming and manipulation. Earlier season incorporated voting off by majority, but eventually that changed to sudden-death elimination competitions between cast members up for elimination. With this season MTV also added a fantasy challenge game to their website. Players "draft" cast members, a la fantasy baseball and cast members are given points for performing certain tasks, such as cursing or "hooking up."

After transitioning to the "vote-off" format, the series alternated between 'Battle' seasons. These included two seasons of Battle of the Sexes, as well as themed Challenges such as the Gauntlet and Inferno seasons. Both the Gauntlet and Inferno seasons contained "showdown" matches between members of the two opposing teams. The cast member who lost the showdown would be sent home. The Gauntlet seasons featured an intra-cast dynamic as teams were forced to vote off cast members within their own groups into the showdown, while the Inferno seasons featured an inter-cast dynamic as teams were forced to vote off cast members from the other group into the showdown.

Cast members
Contestants are various reality television cast members from different television shows. Originally the cast consisted of The Real World and Road Rules alumni, and cast who debuted directly on The Challenge, but eventually MTV expanded it to other alumni from other reality shows.

The Challenge: Champs vs. Stars
The Challenge: Champs vs. Stars (originally known as The Challenge: Champs vs. Pros) is a special recurring mini-series of The Challenge. In each multi-week event, alumni from The Challenge compete against celebrities to win money for charity.

The Challenge: All Stars
In 2020, Road Rules: USA – The First Adventure alumnus Mark Long started asking his social media followers if they'd be interested in seeing former cast members of The Challenge coming together for a new version of the series. The movement was titled "We Want OGs." After his idea went viral, he announced a partnership with Bunim/Murray Productions to further develop his project and began gauging interest from potential former cast members. On February 24, 2021, the show was officially announced as The Challenge: All Stars.

The Challenge: World Championship & International versions
In February 2022, different series of The Challenge were announced, this included three international adaptations for Australia, Argentina, the UK, as well as The Challenge: USA, another American series which aired on CBS with CBS reality show alumni. All editions of the series aired locally on a Paramount-affiliated network and were available globally to stream on Paramount+. These four series were followed by The Challenge: World Championship, which features winners and notable players from the international adaptations and the main series of The Challenge competing for a grand prize. On May 22, 2023, following the conclusion of World Championship, CBS announced that a second season of The Challenge: USA would premiere on August 10, 2023. On June 27, 2024, it was announced that a Swedish version of The Challenge would be airing on TV4 starting on August 12, 2024, marking the first series in the franchise to be produced outside of Bunim/Murray Productions.

The Prometheus Deception

The Prometheus Deception is a spy fiction thriller novel written in 2000 by Robert Ludlum about an agent in an ultraclandestine agency known only as the Directorate named Nick Bryson, alias Jonas Barett, alias Jonathan Coleridge, alias The Technician, who is thrown into a fight between an organization he knows as Prometheus and his former employers at the Directorate.

Like other Ludlum novels, The Prometheus Deception conveys Ludlum's concern about the accumulation of power by individuals or organizations. Whereas some of his prior novels, such as The Holcroft Covenant and The Aquitaine Progression featured conspiracies by governments or political extremists to seize control of the world, The Prometheus Deception features a conspiracy by a very large company. Though it details the reaction of governments to a series of major terrorist attacks, The Prometheus Deception was written before the events of September 11, 2001. Readers have noted a striking similarity between the novel's plot and the synopsis of the TV show "Alias," (aired September 30, 2001 to May 22, 2006) in which a secret agent working for what she believes is the CIA discovers she's been working for a terrorist organization all along.

The Prometheus Deception was one of Ludlum's last books published in his lifetime.

Plot
The story begins with the protagonist, under the alias the Technician, who is in deep cover to stop the Hezbollah terrorist organization from overthrowing the government of Tunisia. The operation appears to be going well, until the terrorists discover that the weapons the Technician has supplied them are defective. Before the ensuing battle is over, though, Abu (the leader of the terrorist agency) manages to stab him in the abdomen. He is helicoptered out, and we next find him entering the headquarters of the Directorate.

We meet his boss, Ted Waller, a lover of puzzles. Waller fires Bryson from the Directorate, saying he's lost his touch; Bryson is now told to live as a professor of Byzantine history under the alias of Jonas Barett. After some initial drunkenness and a search for oblivion because his wife, Elena, has left him, he agrees to take the job. He lives under this alias for 5 years and becomes a popular professor, until the deputy director of Central Intelligence at the CIA, Harry Dunne, confronts him with a shocking revelation.

We learn that the Directorate is really a Russian intelligence operation created by GRU masterminds: essentially a penetration operation on American soil. He learns that his boss is really Gennady Rosovsky, who assumed the name of Ted Waller after the English poet Edmund Waller. Dunne says that Bryson's entire life, including his parents' death, was engineered by the Directorate to lead him to be a part of the agency. Every mission Bryson has undertaken was designed to hurt American interests, which horrifies him.

Bryson is convinced to go after the Directorate and infiltrates a weapons tanker to find out what they're doing with weapons they're amassing. There he meets Layla, and after blowing up the tanker and amassing an arsenal, he continues to search for the Directorate; however, it seems that everywhere he goes there is a terrorist attack that follows. He pursues the trail of his former contacts with the Directorate. He meets with a former colleague, Jan Vansina, only to have Vansina killed before his eyes.

At another point, when he is about to be shot by a former enemy, he is saved by Waller, who explains that Harry Dunne is really a part of Prometheus, an organization of business executives and powerful politicians around the world. The members of Prometheus are pushing the Treaty on Surveillance, which would allow for an international super-FBI, and their own Richard Lanchester (a former businessman turned politician) would be at the head. The implication is that this organization, because its members own information companies would then be able to monitor everything that went on in the world, and thereby control it.

The Directorate's headquarters are destroyed, and he and his wife, Elena, united again, barely escape. He learns that money is being wired to members of the organization through a bank owned by Meredith Waterman, a respected bank. He goes to the bank headquarters and sneaks into their archives. There he learns of a business choice that forced the company to be sold to a certain Gregson Manning, the CEO of the world's largest company, Systematix, which owns health insurance companies, satellites, software, and thus many ways to get information on people. Manning, of course, is a member of Prometheus.

Now, Bryson and Elena must infiltrate Manning's mansion to crash the meeting of Prometheus's leaders, days before they assume control. However, he finds Ted Waller at the mansion, escaped from the Directorate's destruction and a double agent. Bryson is surrounded and about to be executed when a machine he's purchased, a virtual cathode oscillator, destroys the machinery in Manning's home and disables all the "smart guns" that are trained on him. Most of the guests in the mansion are trapped and killed, seemingly ending the Prometheus Group.

Nick and Elena quietly move to a tropical location somewhat assured to be isolated and away from any monitoring devices. Their peace is interrupted when Waller taps into their satellite TV, and promises that they will meet again.

Critical reaction
Publishers Weekly said, "Ludlum goes full throttle in this frantically paced, if somewhat hollow, tale of one man's efforts to thwart the forces of world domination. ... Ludlum's cautionary theme - that technology will soon allow for surveillance on a scale that grossly infringes on personal privacy - gets lost in the barrage of flying bullets and explosions," and Cahners Business Information said, "the story is an exciting showcase for all the latest spy gadgetry, but it has little of the contemplative quality and social context of Ludlum's finer efforts."

History
Yalanji (also known as Kuku Yalanji, Kuku Yalaja, Kuku Yelandji, and Gugu Yalanji) is an Australian Aboriginal language of Far North Queensland. The traditional lands of the Western Yalanji people commence just north of the township of Lakeland and continue southwards past the southern boundary of the locality of Lakeland.

James Earl was granted a lease to occupy pastoral land in March 1877. He named his station Butcher's Hill after Butcher’s Hill Farm in Littleport, Cambridgeshire, England where he lived as a child. It was also known as Turalba Station. The locality was variously known as being in the Cooktown or Laura districts. In September 1899 Earl's daughter Sarah Campbell Earl of Turalba Station married Samuel William Wellington Cook, a part owner of the adjacent Spring Vale Station. These two stations comprise the majority of the current locality of Lakeland.

Mining had commenced on the West Normanby Goldfield by the end of 1874. This goldfield should not be confused with the Normanby Goldfield near Bowen, which opened in 1871. Mining continued intermittently, depending on gold prices, until 1999.

The Normanby Diggings Native Mounted Police camp was located on the West Normanby River just south-east of Butchers Hill and operated for 7 years between 1885 and 1892.

The Normanby Reefs Post Office was renamed Earlton (Earltown) Post Office in 1890. It was closed in December 1892.

Clive J Foyster was an entrepreneur, mining company chief and farmer who bought Butchers Hill in 1968. In a private venture known as Lakeland Downs development began with the clearing of land intended for agriculture, and two irrigation dams were constructed. Dry land and irrigated cropping commenced with plantings of maize and sorghum and later of peanuts and coffee. More intensive cattle grazing also commenced. Eventually 70000 acre were cleared. In the 1980s Lakeland Downs was sold, divided into freehold farms averaging about 990 acre.

Lakeland Downs is named for William (Billy) Lakeland who was one of the earliest prospectors of Cape York Peninsula. The township of Lakeland Downs came into being to service this development, and is now known as Lakeland.

Butcher's Hill State School opened on 23 August 1969. The first teacher was Lorraine Woergoetter. Within two years it had been renamed Lakeland Downs State School.

Heritage listings
Lakeland has a number of heritage-listed sites, including:
 * Mareeba Mining District (-15.9776°N, 144.9328°W): Nuggety Gully Water Race and Chinese Camp

Economy
At Lakeland, most of the irrigation water comes from farm dams. Licenses are required to extract surface or bore water for irrigation purposes. In 2012 there were 16 licenses to impound water in the Normanby catchment, with most occurring in the Lakeland area. Many of the dams are located on small creeks. Honey Dam is the largest and is located on Bullhead Creek, which flows into the Laura River. Dams are only permitted to store wet season run off.

The main products are cattle and cropping, including bananas.

Education
Lakeland State School is a government primary (Early Childhood-6) school for boys and girls on the corner of Peninsula Developmental Road and the Mulligan Highway (-15.8569°N, 144.8568°W). In 2018, the school had an enrolment of 17 students with 2 teachers and 4 non-teaching staff (2 full-time equivalent). There is no secondary school in Lakeland. The nearest government secondary school is Cooktown State School in Cooktown to the north-east. Given the distances involved, distance education and boarding school are other options.

Environmental
The Lakeland Agricultural Area Water Quality Monitoring Program is a project to work with landowners to monitor water quality. In 2016 the Queensland Government purchased Springvale Station, a 56295 hectare property situated in the east of the locality. Springvale Station was purchased to add to the State's protected area network and complement activities being taken to reduce sediment run-off entering the Normanby River catchment that flows into Princess Charlotte Bay and the Great Barrier Reef. The Department of Environment and Science contracted Cape York Natural Resource Management (Cape York NRM) to work with Traditional Owners, Griffith University, the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, and erosion, water quality and vegetation scientists to develop the Springvale Erosion Management Plan.

Springvale Station Nature Refuge provides important habitat for endangered or vulnerable flora and fauna including the Cooktown orchid, ghost bat, northern quoll, red goshawk, spectacled flying-fox, spotted-tailed quoll, Semon's leaf nosed bat and large eared-horseshoe bat. There is no public access on the Nature Refuge.

 * Leadership
 * Woodsmanship (Bushcraft, Australia)

Young adults in the Royal Rangers program who meet the requirements are strongly encouraged by its leaders to pursue an interest in becoming a part of the FCF. Skills that can be learned from the FCF are campfire cooking, Christian service in the community, fellowship, frontier outfit making, black powder rifle shooting, trading, tomahawk and knife throwing, teepee camping, hide tanning, bead craft, scrimshaw, leather craft, wood working, and more.

Entrance To FCF
In Australia a new recruit wishing to enter FCF must fulfill the following criteria
 * Adventure Ranger Age
 * Meet the other requirements

Upon this they then undertake an entrance exam, Phase 1 and 2 testing. Phase 1 testing comprises practical knowledge, e.g., compass work and lashings. To pass recruits must
 * Pass the Bible section of Phase 1 with 90% or more.
 * They are allowed to fail only 2 sections.

In the United States these are the requirements for joining FCF:

Boys
 * Earn all 8 red "Trail of the Grizzly" merits (Camping, First Aid Skills, Toolcraft, Ropecraft, Lashing, Compass, Firecraft, Cooking)
 * Be an Adventure Ranger in at least the sixth grade and be at least 11 years old
 * Be recommended by an Outpost Commander
 * Explain the Plan of Salvation

 * Be a leader in good standing in the local church

Upon earning all eight merits, both men and boys are eligible to wear the Trail of the Grizzly patch. They must then complete a Frontier Adventure before being awarded their Frontiersman Pin.

Trades
Australian FCF members, particularly those in New South Wales, are encouraged to pick up "trades". A "trade" is a line of work typically undertaken in the 1800s. New FCF members can create a costume, reflecting on what a typical person in that trade would wear. They can also man a stall in the "FCF Village" during major Rangers gatherings.

Greater Glasgow

Greater Glasgow is an urban settlement in Scotland consisting of all localities which are physically attached to the city of Glasgow, forming with it a single contiguous urban area (or conurbation). It does not relate to municipal government boundaries, and its territorial extent is defined by National Records of Scotland, which determines settlements in Scotland for census and statistical purposes. Greater Glasgow had a population of 1,199,629 at the time of the 2001 UK Census making it the largest urban area in Scotland and the fifth-largest in the United Kingdom. However, the population estimate for the Greater Glasgow 'settlement' (a chain of continuously populated postcodes) in mid-2016 was 985,290 —the reduced figure explained by the removal of the Motherwell & Wishaw (124,790), Coatbridge & Airdrie (91,020), and Hamilton (83,730) settlement areas east of the city due to small gaps between the populated postcodes. The 'new towns' of Cumbernauld (which had a 2016 settlement population of 50,920) and East Kilbride (75,120) were never included in these figures despite their close ties to Glasgow due to having a clear geographical separation from the city. In the 2020 figures (with almost the same boundaries as 2016, the main difference being the re-addition of Barrhead), the Greater Glasgow population had risen to just over 1 million.

A more extensive Greater Glasgow concept covers a much larger area and may include Ayrshire down to Ayr as well as the whole of Lanarkshire down to Lanark, Dunbartonshire, Renfrewshire, and Inverclyde. At present, the Glasgow City Region consists of the Glasgow City Council, North Lanarkshire, South Lanarkshire, West Dunbartonshire, East Dunbartonshire, Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire, and Inverclyde Local Authorities, with a combined population of over 1.7 million. This city-region is described as a metropolitan area by its own strategic planning authority and is similar to the Glasgow metropolitan area identified by the European Union.

The City of Glasgow grew substantially in population during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, becoming in 1912 the eighth city in Europe to reach the one million mark after Rome, London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, St. Petersburg, and Moscow. The official population stayed over a million for fifty years. Since the 1960s, successive boundary changes and large-scale relocation to suburban districts and new towns have reduced the population of the City of Glasgow council area to 593,245 at the time of the 2011 UK Census.

Urban Area
Following the local government boundary changes in 1996 and the creation of the present day unitary councils in Scotland, replacing the former regional and district councils, the Greater Glasgow Settlement Area or Urban Area was created for the 2001 Census from groups of neighbouring urban postcodes grouped so that each group of postcode units (known as a locality) contains at least a given number of addresses per unit area, and the group contains at least 500 residents. The localities that make up Greater Glasgow are listed below:

Transport

In 1973, the Greater Glasgow Passenger Transport Executive (later Strathclyde Passenger Transport Executive from 1983 and Strathclyde Passenger Transport Authority from 1996) was created to take over control of Glasgow Corporation Transport (which included the Glasgow Subway). Following local government reorganisation in 1975, control subsequently passed to Strathclyde Regional Council. The former PTE is now the Strathclyde Partnership for Transport, within Transport Scotland.

The city is served by the only metro system in Scotland, the Glasgow Subway; and by two international airports, Glasgow Prestwick Airport and Glasgow Airport.

Glasgow City Region
The Glasgow City Region is a collection of local authorities clustered around Glasgow. The eight constituent authorities are:

 * Glasgow
 * East Dunbartonshire
 * West Dunbartonshire
 * North Lanarkshire
 * South Lanarkshire
 * East Renfrewshire
 * Renfrewshire
 * Inverclyde

The population of this area in 2011 was 1,787,515. The city region is not a conurbation as significant parts of the council areas (and the whole of Inverclyde) are separated from Greater Glasgow by open countryside. It uses numerous other terms for itself, including Metropolitan Glasgow, the metropolitan City-Region of Glasgow, Glasgow and the Clyde Valley and Clydeside.

As a collection of individual local authorities the city region has no single municipal government however, following the agreement of a City Deal with the UK Government, the eight constituent authorities formally established a joint Glasgow and Clyde Valley Cabinet on 20 January 2015. This cabinet consists of the leaders of all eight councils, with the leader of Glasgow City Council being Chair of the Cabinet. Prior to 2015 the eight authorities formed only a combined strategic planning authority.

Metropolitan Glasgow
While the Scottish Government makes no official recognition of 'Metropolitan status' in its workings, the term is used by other bodies. The European Union's statistical body Eurostat lists Glasgow as the 32nd most populous metropolitan area, or Larger Urban Zones, in the EU. Although not defining the boundaries of this metropolitan area, Eurostat state it consists "of over 1.7 million inhabitants covering an area of 3,346 km2"., which is similar to the 1.75 million population of the Glasgow City Region and may suggest a correlation between the two. The Glasgow City Region's strategic development authority describes itself as the planning authority for the "Glasgow metropolitan area" and the "metropolitan city-region of Glasgow".

The former local government region of Strathclyde has also been identified as a metropolitan area surrounding the Greater Glasgow conurbation, and covers approximately 2.3 million people, 41% of Scotland's population.

Skyline Chili

Skyline Chili is a chain of Cincinnati-style chili restaurants based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Founded in 1949 by Greek immigrant Nicholas Lambrinides, Skyline Chili is named for the view of Cincinnati's skyline that Lambrinides could see from the first restaurant (which has since been demolished), opened in the section of town now known as Price Hill. It is also the "official chili" of many local professional sports teams and venues, including the Cincinnati Bengals, Cincinnati Reds, Cincinnati Cyclones, Columbus Blue Jackets and the Kings Island theme park, and also sponsors the Crosstown Shootout, an annual men's college basketball rivalry game between the city's two NCAA Division I teams, Cincinnati and Xavier.

History
In 1912, Nicholas Lambrinides emigrated to Cincinnati from Kastoria, Greece, and brought his favorite family recipes with him. To save up the money to bring his wife to America as well, he first worked as a cook for a railroad crew and in a hotel kitchen, then opened a short-order diner. After nearly a decade, his wife was able to join him in Cincinnati and they raised five sons.

By World War II, Lambrinides was working as a chef for the original Empress Chili restaurant, where he continued to tinker with a recipe which he had been developing for years. In 1949, he and three of his sons opened their own place. That diner was located at 3822 Glenway Avenue, at the intersection of what is now Quebec and Glenway Avenue. While local lore says the name is from the view of the Cincinnati skyline seen in the original restaurant, the family claims it was inspired by a skylight and the view from a second floor storage unit over the restaurant. After some local resistance in the predominantly German Catholic neighborhood that observed meatless Fridays, Skyline developed a large and devoted following.

The family opened a second restaurant in 1953 and the growth of the business accelerated in the 1960s; by the end of the century, there were 110 Skyline restaurants, mostly in Ohio, but with additional establishments in other states including Kentucky, Indiana, and Florida. Lambrinides died in 1962 at the age of 82, but his sons continued to operate and expand the company. They have kept Nicholas's original recipe unchanged since then. According to William Lambrinides, "Dad always said, 'Don't change a thing with the recipe—don't add anything, don't take out anything, it's perfect the way it is'." As a result, Skyline's version has become nearly synonymous with Cincinnati chili. In 1998, the company was sold to Fleet Equity Partners, a New England investment firm, which promised not to change the recipe (which they reportedly keep locked in a safe).

In 2007, the company's board of directors purchased a majority of the Skyline stock previously owned by Chicago-based Prudential Capital Group.

Menu
Skyline Chili is unique in that it is not chili con carne, the meat dish that originated in (and is the state dish of) Texas. Instead, Cincinnati chili is a sauce usually used over spaghetti or hot dogs, containing a unique spice blend that gives it a very distinct, sweet-and-savory taste. Officially, the recipe for Skyline Chili is a well-kept family secret among Lambrinides' surviving children, and the recipe is kept in a bank vault.

Skyline's menu includes their signature dishes: cheese coneys (a hot dog topped with Skyline Chili, mustard, onions, and cheese), and 3-ways (spaghetti topped with Skyline Chili and cheese); 4-ways (choice of beans or onions added), and 5-ways (beans and onions both added). Additional menu items are also purveyed. Skyline's chili, canned chili sauce and frozen microwave meals are also provided in supermarkets, notably at fellow Cincinnati-based Kroger.

In 2023 the location at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport began offering breakfast items.

On March 18, 2024, Skyline announced it would be switching from Pepsi to Coca-Cola products as part of its 75th anniversary; Skyline had served Coca-Cola when the chain first opened in 1949. The announcement was met with mixed reaction on social media, with many fans lamenting the loss of Mountain Dew being available with Skyline, though the chain will have Mello Yello available as an option. The decision did not affect the company's offering of Dr Pepper or Skyline's signature tea offerings. Rival Gold Star Chili, which unlike Skyline had a more longer-term relationship serving Pepsi, announced on the same day that they were also switching to Coke products after 58 years.

Locations
As of August 2021, Skyline Chili operates 160 restaurants in Ohio (primarily serving Cincinnati, Dayton, and Columbus), Indiana, Kentucky (primarily Lexington, Louisville and the Northern Kentucky suburbs of Cincinnati), and Florida. Additionally, three locations previously operated in Michigan; in Lansing, Monroe, and Traverse City. Skyline coneys are also served inside Goodyear Ballpark, the Arizona spring training home of the Reds and Guardians. The restaurants may be considered fast casual. Diners may sit at a booth or table and be served by a waiter, or at many locations, sit at a counter near employees preparing the food. At all restaurants, dishes are assembled at a centrally located service island so diners may watch their food as it is made. Food prepping takes only a few minutes so one often gets their food quickly. Carry-out and drive-through service are also available at most locations.

Previously, Skyline had a location in Pittsburgh briefly in the 1980s. While unsuccessful, Skyline did consider a more aggressive return to the market in the late 1990s. However, Skyline never returned to Western Pennsylvania and has since backed off any expansion plans of any kind for the time being. In 2022, Skyline announced a return to Pittsburgh, with its first location in Monroeville, Pennsylvania opening in 2024. The chain continues to operate one location in Lyndhurst, Ohio, but is largely absent north of Mansfield.
