Redcliffe Peninsula

The Redcliffe Peninsula is a peninsula located in the City of Moreton Bay in the northeast of the Brisbane metropolitan area in Queensland, Australia. The area covers the suburbs of Clontarf, Kippa-Ring, Margate, Moreton Island, Newport, Redcliffe, Rothwell, Scarborough and Woody Point.

Redcliffe was the site of the first European settlement in Queensland,  and was previously governed by its own local government area, the City of Redcliffe. Today, it falls within the City of Moreton Bay local government area.

As a result of its beaches as well as its coastal, fishing and recreational amenities, the Redcliffe Peninsula is a popular recreational destination within the Brisbane metropolitan area.

Redcliffe Peninsula is home to over 55,000 residents over its total area of 38.1 km2. The peninsula is relatively flat with few areas rising more than 20 m above sea level.

History
The Redcliffe Peninsula was occupied by the indigenous Ningy Ningy people. The native name is Kau-in-Kau-in, which means Blood-Blood (red-like blood).

The area's first European visitors arrived on 17 July 1799, aboard the Norfolk, a British colonial sloop commanded by Matthew Flinders. Flinders explored the Moreton Bay area and landed at 10:30 a.m. at a location he called "Red Cliff Point", after the red-coloured cliffs visible from the bay, today called Woody Point.

In 1823, the Governor of New South Wales, Thomas Brisbane, instructed that a new northern penal settlement be developed, and an exploration party led by John Oxley further explored the Moreton Bay area. Oxley recommended Red Cliff Point for the new colony, reporting that ships could land at any tide and easily get close to the shore.

The settlement, along the banks of what is now called Humpybong Creek in Redcliffe town centre, consisted of small, temporary dwellings with gardens and vegetables planted. However the lack of a reliable water supply, attacks by Aboriginal people, large mosquito numbers, and insufficient facilities for safe anchorage meant that the settlement needed to be moved after eight months. The settlement relocated to the banks of the Brisbane River at North Quay, 28 km south. Redcliffe was then abandoned, with just a small number of dwellings remaining. Local Aboriginal people called these empty buildings "oompie bongs", anglicised to mean, in reverse, 'dead house', and the name was given to the entire Redcliffe peninsula.

The area was designated as an agricultural reserve in the 1860s, and residential development began in the 1880s. The population grew significantly after 1935 when the Hornibrook Bridge was opened; the two lane, 2.8 km bridge crossed Bramble Bay and linked the peninsula with a more direct route to Brisbane. A replacement three lane bridge, the Houghton Highway, opened in 1979. On 11 July 2010 the new three lane Ted Smout Memorial Bridge opened, and at 2.7 km is claimed to be Australia's longest. The bridge was named to honour Queensland's longest surviving World War 1 Digger. It provides south-bound traffic flow as well as pedestrian and bicycle access, while the Houghton Highway has become a dedicated north-bound traffic bridge.

The Redcliffe Library opened in 2000.

In 2007 the Queensland Government's Local Government Reform Commission announced that Redcliffe would be amalgamated into the adjoining Pine Rivers and Caboolture shires to form the Moreton Bay Region, which was renamed the City of Moreton Bay in July 2023.

Climate
Redcliffe has a humid subtropical climate under the Köppen climate classification system, with hot, humid summers and dry, mild winters. Thunderstorms are regular events from late Spring to early Autumn in the late afternoon to early evening. The more severe storms are accompanied by damaging hail stones, torrential rain and destructive winds, however as most storms travel in a north-east direction from past Ipswich then over greater Brisbane, they often lose strength by the time they arrive to Redcliffe.

Landmarks
There are a number of landmarks located in Redcliffe, such as the Redcliffe Jetty, Settlement Cove Lagoon, Suttons and Margate Beaches, Scarborough Beach Park with its Cottonwood trees, Redcliffe Museum, Woody Point Jetty, HMQS Gayundah shipwreck, and two bridges that have become iconic to Redcliffe, the Houghton Highway and Ted Smout Memorial Bridge, which links Redcliffe to the Brisbane suburb of Brighton. Redcliffe features many buildings by the heritage designer-builder Alex Smith. On 14 February 2013 the Bee Gees Way in the Redcliffe CBD was opened and features a statue of the Bee Gees in their youth as residents of Redcliffe. The Bee Gees Way was formerly a pathway that was gazetted for weekend markets.

The City of Moreton Bay operates a public library at 476 Oxley Avenue, Redcliffe.

Moreton Bay
Redcliffe City acts as a service centre for the Moreton Bay island communities, a tourist hub for the bay, and base of operations for local fishing and the seafood industry. From Redcliffe visitors can access Moreton Island via a new passenger ferry that has replaced the old Combie Trader ferry, Deception Bay waters, Bramble Bay, Hays Inlet and the Pine River leading to the North and South Pine rivers. The major marina in Redcliffe is Scarborough Marina, located in the Scarborough Boat Harbour, at the northern tip of the Peninsula; Newport Waterways Marina is nearby.

Economy
The major economical sectors of Redcliffe are retail trade, construction trades, medical and community services, and property and business services, followed by automotive, manufacturing, and cafés, hotels, restaurants and takeaways. The 250-bed Redcliffe Hospital is a major employer. Fishing and prawning are the principal primary industries, with mostly light industries located at Clontarf and Kippa-Ring.

Tourism is an important industry to the area with approximately 1.2 million tourists visiting each year. This focus on tourism has existed since the late 1800s when people came by boat to enjoy its safe, sheltered and sandy beaches.

The major shopping areas are the Redcliffe Seaside Village (Redcliffe Parade & Sutton Street) with shops, restaurants, cafes, a 7D Cinema, and the Bluewater Square Shopping Centre housing a Woolworths. The Peninsula Fair and Kippa-Ring Shopping Centres are built side by side in Kippa-Ring in the centre of the Peninsula and boast the area's dominant retail centre with over 120 specialty stores between them, including K-Mart, Target, Woolworths, Coles, Best & Less and Hoyt's Cinemas.

Smaller shopping centres are at Margate, Scarborough, Woody Point, Clontarf and Rothwell. The Newport development has proposed a new retail and town centre for the suburb which is currently lacking its own local services.

Sport, recreation and events
A seaside location with 22 km of coastline and a mainly working class population, Redcliffe has a high emphasis on sport and recreation. More than 35 km of dedicated bikeways surround the peninsula, and local sporting clubs include baseball, croquet, golf, hockey, lawn bowls, netball, softball, tennis, rugby, soccer, Australian rules football, and touch football. Scouting and Guiding groups are also in Redcliffe.

Most weekends free-fall tandem skydivers can be seen dropping from 14000 ft, landing onto Suttons Beach. The operator uses a Cessna 208 Caravan, holding up to ten people, that departs from local Redcliffe Airport.

Kite flying with the Queensland Kite Flyers Society is held twice a month at Pelican Park on Hornibrook Esplanade, Clontarf. Each May, the council hosts a large kite-flying event called Kitefest.

Adrian Hardy Haworth

Adrian Hardy Haworth (19 April 1767, in Hull – 24 August 1833, in Chelsea) was an English entomologist, botanist and carcinologist.

Family
The younger son of Benjamin Haworth, of Haworth Hall and Anne Booth, he was educated at Hull Grammar School and by tutors who steered him towards a career in the law. After inheriting the family estate, he devoted all his time to natural history.

He married three times, firstly in 1792 to Elizabeth Sidney Cumbrey (died 1803), secondly in 1805 to Amy Baines (died 1813), and lastly in 1819 to Elizabeth Maria Coombs, who survived him. By his first wife, he left children from whom descend the Haworth-Booths.

Career
In 1792 he settled in Little Chelsea, London, where he met William Jones (1750–1818) who was to have a great influence on him. He became a Fellow of the Linnean Society of London in 1798. His research work was aided by his use of the library and herbarium of his friend Sir Joseph Banks (1743–1820) and regular visits to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

His Yorkshire estate is now represented by Haworth Hall, in Beverley Road, Hull.

He was the author of Lepidoptera Britannica (1803–1828), the most authoritative work on British butterflies and moths until Henry Tibbats Stainton's Manual in 1857. He was also a carcinologist, specialising in shrimp. He is responsible for the names of several taxa, including:

 * Order Mysida Haworth, 1825
 * Family Mysidae Haworth, 1825
 * Superfamily Pandaloidea Haworth, 1825
 * Family Pandalidae Haworth, 1825
 * Superfamily Crangonoidea Haworth, 1825
 * Family Crangonidae Haworth, 1825
 * Family Porcellanidae Haworth, 1825

and named 22 new genera of moths.

The British entomologist John Curtis named a moth of the family Noctuidae 1829 in honour of Adrian Hardy Haworth Celaena haworthii.

In 1812 he wrote the first paper in Volume 1 of the Transactions of the Entomological Society of London, a review of previous work on British insects. In 1833, he lent support to the founding of what became the Royal Entomological Society of London having been President of its predecessor. He was a Fellow of the Horticultural Society and a Fellow of the Linnean Society.

His botanical contributions included the first monograph on the genus Crocus (1809). The plant genus Haworthia is named after Adrian Hardy Haworth.

St Mary Hall, Oxford

St Mary Hall was a medieval academic hall of the University of Oxford. It was associated with Oriel College from 1326 to 1545, but functioned independently from 1545 until it was re-incorporated into Oriel College in 1902.

History

In 1320, when he was appointed rector of the Church of St Mary the Virgin, Adam de Brome was given the rectory house, St. Mary Hall, on the High Street. St. Mary Hall was acquired by Oriel College in 1326: Bedel Hall, which adjoins St. Mary's to the south, was given by Bishop Carpenter of Worcester in 1455. These two halls, along with St. Martin's Hall, served as annexes for Oriel College.

In the early 16th century, the college's St. Antony's and Dudley exhibitioners were lodged in St Mary Hall and Bedel Hall, and around this time the two halls were united. St. Mary Hall subsequently developed into an independent entity, and in 1545, on the order the Visitor, Bishop Longland of Lincoln, the door between St Mary Hall and Oriel was blocked. The Hall subsequently employed its own lecturers, and the intake of St Mary's was periodically more than that of Oriel.

In 1552, there were 18 members of St. Mary Hall, excluding the Principal. The Principals of St Mary Hall continued to be fellows of Oriel until 1656. By 1875, the size of St.Mary Hall's undergraduate body had risen to 60, a large number for one of the University's colleges at that time.

The Hall was effectively the property of its Principal, who was also Vicar of St Mary's Church. The last Principal, Drummond Percy Chase, who had been appointed in 1857, created an agreement with Oriel as a consequence of which the Hall became the property of Oriel on his death, which subsequently occurred in 1902, when according to the agreement, the Hall was incorporated into Oriel College. Some agreements created when St. Mary Hall were a separate organisation continue to exist: for example, the benefice of the Vicar of St Mary's Church includes dining rights at Oriel.

The present St. Mary's Quad, or 'third quadrangle', of Oriel occupies three ranges of the former buildings of the St. Mary Hall. The Principal's house was demolished for the construction of the Rhodes Building, which was designed by Basil Champneys, and which was completed in 1911.

 * 1532–1537 John Rixman

The Lord Provost of the City of Glasgow, by virtue of office, is also:
 * Lord-Lieutenant of the County of the City of Glasgow
 * a Commissioner of Northern Lighthouses.

Each of the 32 Scottish local authorities elects a provost, but it is only the four main cities, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Dundee that have a Lord Provost, who also serves as the lord-lieutenant for the city. This is codified in the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994. As of 2017, the role attracts a salary of £41,546, plus an annual expenses budget of £5000.

The current Lord Provost of Glasgow, elected in May 2022, is Jacqueline McLaren.

The Lord Provost of Glasgow has the use of an official limousine which is always black and always carries the registration plate "G0". Past limousines are on display at the city's Transport Museum. The current limousine is a Rolls-Royce Ghost, donated by Boyd Tunnock in 2018.

The Medieval burgh of Glasgow was administered on behalf of the Bishops of Glasgow by officials known as Bailies or Provosts. The office of Provost as a single chief magistrate was not created until the early 1450s.

Deputy lieutenants
A deputy lieutenant of Glasgow is commissioned by the Lord Lieutenant of Glasgow. Deputy lieutenants support the work of the lord-lieutenant. There can be several deputy lieutenants at any time, depending on the population of the county. Their appointment does not terminate with the changing of the lord-lieutenant, but they usually retire at age 75.

Talk:Mod (subculture)

Beat music
The lead says that beat music (I assume this means Merseybeat and variations), was a music style associated with the mods. I am not a mod expert, so I hadn't known that. Soul, ska and R&B, I was aware of, but not Merseybeat. So I looked in the article for more information, and there is none. The only other mention of "beat music" is in relation to the Beatles: "Although the Beatles dressed "mod" in their early years, their beat music was not popular among mods, who tended to prefer British R&B based bands."

The statement in the article that mods preferred R&B to Merseybeat style music is closer to my casual understanding. I did do a quick search for "beat" and "mod", but nothing significant came up. If the mods were associated with Merseybeat or any other form of "beat" music, it might be helpful to explain this in the lead with appropriate sources, or remove the mention of beat music from the lead.

And it might be helpful to identify what "beat music" is. Is it meant to mean Merseybeat?  SilkTork  ✔Tea time  18:29, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

 * I think this is a case of the lead not matching the main body. I added most of the music section and my reading clearly indicates that Beat music was not popular among early mods, in fact rather despised. The easiest way to fix this is probably just to take it out of the lead.--  SabreBD  (talk ) 18:39, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Thanks for that Sabrebd. I have removed it.  SilkTork  ✔Tea time  23:15, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Mod in the US
This article surprised me a bit. As a child of the '60's on the US, I wasn't aware of this scooter/amphetamine culture. I believe Mod in the US had quite a different connotation. In my eyes Mod was wide belts on striped pants, bell bottoms, bright colors, paisley print, Nehru jackets, Beatle haircuts, a combination of groovy, hip, psychedelic, Yellow Submarine, The Monkees, Laugh-In, Peter Max, though not exactly hippy style. The majority of people from middle age down accepted this style in some way. I don’t believe there were any negative associations with being mod in the US. It was just the style at the time. This British Mod seems more like a precursor to grunge and punk. I believe there needs to be a separate USA Mod article. Flight Risk (talk) 18:10, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree with you 100%!!! However, we should simply incorporate U.S. and world perspectives in this article (which aims to be the definitive universal Wiki statement on mod).  This article is written almost exclusively from a London pre-1964 perspective (i.e. "ticket" mods on scooters fighting rockers). And that part is fine, but it is only a part of the story, while the article ignores almost everything that mod became after that, both in England and elsewhere.  Here in the states, mod was a fun "groovy" thing that tied in with early hippie (and, yes, punk, but not in the later form--think of all those garage bands playing early punk music--and how they loved the groovy mod styles).  This article will desperately need major additions (and a broader emphasis) if it is to be considered a reliable and credible resource (particularly to people outside of England):
 * France (late 50s): Jean Seeberg and that scene in Breathless.
 * England post-1964 (1995-1968): "Swinging London," mini-skirts, pop art, Antonioni/Blow Up, drugs, etc.)
 * USA & world (1964-1968): Folk rock, garage bands, Sunset Strip LA, Factory NY, early hippie, mini-skirts, Twiggy, Laugh In, "Sock it to me", drugs, etc. Garagepunk66 (talk) 02:16, 24 March 2015 (UTC) Garagepunk66 (talk) 20:30, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

Flight Risk, I have made some additions and modifications to reflect mod as it was experienced here in America. I have added a section about mod here and around the world. Hopefully, this section can expand with time. Garagepunk66 (talk) 22:21, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Thank you Garagepunk66 for the much needed inclusions of US Mod in the article. Flight Risk (talk) 05:22, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

== "Mod" article needs changes in title and thematic orientation as well as expanison--written from limited and biased perspective: does not encompass mod as worldwide phenominon--also: factual errors/misconceptions ==

This article is the only Wiki article about 60' mod (at least that has "mod" in the title), so therefore it needs to be more objective as well as comprehensive. The article's thematic orientation needs to be broadened and the article needs to be expaneded to include later developments. Because of certain factual errors, this article's defects have lead to misunderstandings that disrupt the factuality of other Wiki articles. It is written from a myopic British-centric pre-1965 perspective and deals too exclusively with mod as a pre-1965 British street subculture and not as a larger world phenominon and broader fashion movement. Although it does mention in the heading that mod grew to be a larger phenominon, it treats that development (there and elsewhere) as pejoritive and sees the wider spread of mod as stricly mass media and commercial hype (and deems very little else about later developments worth mentioning). This point of view is highly biased and is not suitable for an encyclopedia article. This bias (along with the pre-1965 British-centric perspective) must be corrected. It denies those of us who live in countries, other than Engaland, the ability to read about mod as we experienced it and we understand it (1965-1968), so we cannot count on this article as a reliable reference.

First of all, I agree that no discussion of mod should leave out its beginnings as a British street subculture: the motor scooters and rivalries with rockers, etc. All of that should be remain (they could even go into more discussion about the "faces" and "tickets" of the 1961-1964 phase)--this period was immortalized on the Who's Quadrophenia album. But the article just ends there. New sections must be added to discuss how mod developed beyond that.

Factual errors and misconceptions:
 * Error 1--That implicit message that mod after 1965 became all hype and commercialism (and essentially died after 1965). Actually, some commericalism was evident far earlier, with influences from French and Italian fashion (that the article mentions).  World fashions after 1957 began to change, first in women's fashions which became more modern and sleek (note the difference between the Mamie Eisenhower look and the Jackie Kennedy look).  The existentialsit/beat/coffee house phase of British mod ended after the late 50's.  Did that mean Mod was in decline?  No, it just changed.  So, the French and Italian influences started coming in and mod began to evolve.  In the early 60's (up through 1964) British mod had two predominant subgroups: 1) "faces" ("smooth mods" or "peacock mods") slightly older (early 20's set) and higher in pecking order--wearing the latest fashions and going to clubs--seen as leaders and movers and shakers. 2) "tickets" (mostly teens): street mods--wearing trenchcoats, riding scooters, and getting into clashes with rockers.  But, in the next few years, the mod phenominon progressed way beyond rivalries with rockers.  It developed into something much larger.

 * Error 2--Statement that "By the summer of 1966, the mod scene was in sharp decline" is misleading. Yes, the "street mod" scene ("tickets" mentioned above) had declined (they transmorphed into the early Skinhead movement in England (see Wiki article).  The motor scooters had gone out.  Rivalries with rockers had subsided, but mod grew into its "Swinging London" phase (which could be regarded as a pinnacle).  More importantly...MOD BECAME A HUGE WORLDWIDE PHENOMINON LIKE NEVER BEFORE IN 1966!!! Here in America we never knew anything about clashes between mods and rockers or street mods riding around in motor scooters and all of that violent aspect.  We only knew mod as a fashion thing...but what a cool thing it was!!!  Check out the Life Magazine cover sory that was done on mod:  [Revolution in Men' s Clothes: Mod Fashions from Britain are Making a Smash in the U.S., Life Magazine, May 13.,1966, pg. 82-90] Our folk rock and garage rock bands were greatly influenced by the  mod look of British bands and took to wearing Carnaby Street styles, mop tops, and pointed boots (front cover picture in Life was based on an earlier  photo taken in Chicago of garage rock band, The Del Vetts ([]). The girls started to wear mini-skirts.  Twiggy became the rage. Mod was certainly not in decline in 1966, but was at an ALL TIME HIGH!!!  This article does nothing to reflect the reality of mod as a wordwide phenominon of this period (and what brief mention treats it in a disrespectful way)--and that is a grave omission.  We here in America were just getting started with mod in 1965 & 1966.  And it is a time we fondly remember.  Mod, here (as in England), went beyond the mere commercial: it was a style that signified generational change.

 * THESE MISCONCEPTIONS AVERSELY AFFECT THE FACTUALITY OF OTHER WIKI ARTICLES: In the section devoted to American 60s garage rock ("Garage and mod') in the Wiki "Punk rock" article, the claim is made that "mod was in decline in 1966" (and it subltly conveys the false imression that garage rock was also in decline that year).  THIS IS COMPLETELY WRONG, FACTUALLY SPEAKING, and destroys any meaningful discussion of garage rock here in America (circa 1966).  By the way mod stayed extremely popular here through 1968. As for mod in England (1966): check out Michelangelo Antoini's classic film Blow Up (1966).  I don't see any evidence of decline of mod in England at this time, just mod reaching an all time high. THIS IS THE PERIOD THAT EPITOMIZES SWINGING LONDON OF THE 60s!!!  So, maybe the street mods were gone (they became skinheads), but mod reached its all time high.

 * Create new sections that trace developments in mod post 1964 (i.e. 1965-1968).

 * Change title: Go from "Mod (subculture)" to Mod (fashion and subculture).  Get rid of the pre-1965 Britsh-cenrtric biases.  Make big changes to article or create whole new more general mod article!!! Garagepunk66 (talk) 09:04, 23 December 2012 (UTC) 05:51 06:37 06:42, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

 * If you can provide reliable references to back up what you are saying, then you can add the content yourself. As for the title, I see no reason to change it. The current title accurately describes the topic of the article, which is the mod subculture.Spylab (talk) 15:24, 23 December 2012 (UTC)Garagepunk66 (talk) 02:27, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Spylab, I noticed some terrific additions to "Decline" section and I am happty to notice that you removed wording that appeared to be judgemental of later developments. Well done! Nonetheless, I do think that the section should be re-named "Withdrawl of hard mods and emergence of swinging London" and not say that "the mod scene was in sharp decline," but rather that "the hard mod element began to withdraw from the mod scene..." (i.e becomeing skinheads). The section should then go on to mention that the fashion, pop art, beat music, and club elements of the scene becacme ascendent and that the mod scene entered its "Swinging London" phase--a phase in which it would have the greatest global impact.

In the last parts of the article, we could cretate new sections describing "Swinging London" and "Global phenominon." I could try to add some carefully documeted information in these new sections. Keep in mind that we here in America, came to know mod as a peaceful, "groovy" kind of thing, and this aspect should be reflected as well. Garagepunk66 (talk) 06:45, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

 * I have added sourced mention of mod outside of England in the heading, so that Americans, as well as people in other countries, can recognize mod as something familiar and be able to see the connection between early British mod and the kind of 60s mod they experienced (however different it might have been). I have also added a section covering mod in America and around the world. These are badly needed changes.
 * I have also changed the name of the section, "Decline..." and re-named it "Swinging London and later developments." Why should Swinging London be treated as a "decline," when, to people here in America, it was seen as the mod big bang?  The opinion of the author quoted should be not taken as gospel truth, because it is strictly subjective.  An encyclopedia must reflect a comprehensive and objective point of view.  We can keep his quote and treat it as a valid opinion, but the article should not be required to agree with one writers' personal sentiment, when facts (i.e. size and scope: Swinging London and the mod boom in America,1965-1968) point to the contrary. Anyway, his remarks were intended to be qualitative, not quantitative, so by putting "Decline" in the title heading, it gives the false impression that mod was dying out in 1966, which is just simply not true, certainly not to people in America and other countries, where it was just beginning to take off.

I also added a picture of swinging London, circa. 1966, to provide a helpful visual image of an important aspect of 60s mod. The article should not treat this phase as unimportant or anticlimactic. To Americans, Swinging London was an inspiring introduction to mod, and seen as the epitome of mod. Garagepunk66 (talk) 20:05, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I added some helpful sourced information about the swinging London period (i.e. Blow Up, etc.). Then, I made some changes in the order of sections.  Obviously, discussion of Swinging London and skinheads do not belong in the same section, so I separated them.  I put the "U.S./world" section right after discussion of Swinging London, because, Swinging London was such a catalyst for the spread of worldwide (and there is such a profound connection there).  Then, I created a "Decline" section and made some improvements in language. It begins with Dick Hebdige's critique of the commercial aspects post-'64 (I kept that out of respect to that perspective, which is perfectly valid).  Then, the article goes on to discusses dissipation of movement at end of the decade.  After that, I created a section, Offshoots, which includes all prior text (unaltered) covering some of the later movements, such as the early skinheads.
 * Note: I realize that there are some who would prefer that the article only pertain to the early street culture aspects of mod, but the article has to be fair, objective, and comprehensive. We want people form around the world to be able to read this article and not be baffled by any exclusion of mod as their countries experienced it. I think that we now have an article that is broadly comprehensive and reflects the different manifestations of mod in the 60s, both and England and worldwide.

Another note: Sorry. I made several edits while I was accidentally logged out (on 3/26 and 3/29). But I can confirm that they were mine. I put explanations on most of them. Garagepunk66 (talk) 01:57, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Spylab, I appreciate the improvements on the headings--you have a definite point about using simpler titles. But, we need to make a slight change to the title that reads "Late 60s."  We need to change it from that to "Mid-late 60s.  "Swinging London" is usually thought of as beginning in 1965.  After 1964, the street fighting largely stopped, as London began to swing with nightlife and as the pop culture and as the fashion element came into full flower. To quote Mick Brown, in his article in the Telegraph:
 * By the mid-Sixties, “mod” had become an all-purpose adjective applied to anything young, fresh, unconventional and stylish..."
 * 1966 is usually thought of as the high point/epitome of Swinging London mod (i.e. period covered in Blow Up, etc.) Chronologically 1965 and 1966 would fall into the mid-sixties, not late. By 1969, mod was pretty-much finished, so we have to take that into account. Hence, "Mid-late 60s."

 * I also think that we should have a separate section for "Offshoots." It needs a separate treatment.  American readers are going to get baffled and confused (they have no idea who hard mods are--and the whole thing about skinheads is going to seem incomprehensible after discussing Swinging London, psychedelia, and hippies).  By dividing it off as its own section, it will be more clear and decipherable to those of us on this side of the pond. Garagepunk66 (talk) 00:14, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

I have made the necessary additions, so I think that the article, now, better reflects the worldwide diversity and universal experience of mod in the 60s. Garagepunk66 (talk) 00:40, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Statement about band The Modd may have to be romoved
The statement just added about the Maryland band The Modd (in revival section) may have to be removed. It is completely usourced. There is no Wiki article for this band. I can find nothing about them on the internet. I'm sure they are a good band, but we have to know more about them in order for them to be included here. I went ahead and made grammatical corrections in the statement about them, but once again, it will have to be removed if someone cannot come up with credible references.

British Class System
My hazy recollections of these "cultures" are this. The mods were middle class kids still living at home and attending university, or advanced cooking classes like Robin Tripp. Scooters did not require parking permits at these institutions. Rockers rode big bikes, Trumpies and the like, as they'd been working in scrap metal yards since age 12, and had constructed the bikes from junk parts. Skinheads rode scooters, usually Honda 90s by then, in the 1970s for a different reason. Some gangs used scooters to ride through traffic jams banging immobile cars with sledge hammers. The said cars were being driven by ex-mods taking their kids to school.27.33.81.127 (talk) 08:51, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Online prescence
Hi, i dont mean to bother or be intrusive but i feel the small scale continuation from the 90s - 2010s should probably be covered. Alongside this there has been a large online presence of mod fashion from around 2020 but it is very hard to get decent sources? I think this should be mentioned in the wiki page but im new to editing and cant do it justice really. Thankyou - i have a sort of drafted paragraph if it helps anyone start Brit1115 (talk) 21:11, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

I don't have time to write this paragraph but I just watched an interesting show (Music Box) in which Nik Cohn cites the mods as a large influence on his article Tribal Rites of the New Saturday Night which was turned into Saturday Night Fever.

Abraham Janssens

Abraham Janssens I, Abraham Janssen I or Abraham Janssens van Nuyssen (1575–1632) was a Flemish painter, who is known principally for his large religious and mythological works, which show the influence of Caravaggio. He was the leading history painter in Flanders prior to the return of Rubens from Italy.

Life
Abraham Janssens was born in Antwerp as the son of Jan Janssens and Roelofken van Huysen or Nuyssen. There is some uncertainty regarding his year of birth. He was previously thought to have been born in the year 1567, but it is now more generally assumed that his date of birth was 1575.

Janssens studied under Jan Snellinck and was registered as a pupil in the local Guild of Saint Luke in 1585. He travelled to Italy where he resided mainly in Rome between 1597 and 1602. After returning to his home country he became a master in the Antwerp Guild in the guild year 1601-1602.

On 1 May 1602 he married Sara Goetkint (died in Antwerp on 7 April 1644) with whom he had 8 children, five of whom were still alive at the time of her death: Maria Anna, who also became a painter and married Jan Brueghel the Younger, Sara, Catharina, Lucretia and Abraham II.

In 1607 he became the dean of the Antwerp Guild of St Luke. This is also the time when he received his first major commissions, which initiated the most important period of his career. Until the return of Rubens to Antwerp in 1608, Janssens was considered the leading history painter active in the Low Countries. His fame was not immediately eclipsed by Rubens' return as he was still able to obtain important commissions such as that for his masterpiece Scaldis and Antverpia commissioned by the Antwerp city magistrate to decorate the chimney in the city hall's Assembly Room where the Twelve Years' Truce between Spain and the Dutch Republic was signed on 9 April 1609. After Rubens became the dominant force for large altarpieces in the Antwerp market, Janssens had to find commissions for large monumental works from provincial patrons.

Janssens joined in 1610 the Confrerie of Romanists, a society of Antwerp humanists and artists who had travelled to Rome. The diversity and high positions held by the Confrerie's membership offered him a good opportunity to meet with potential patrons.

Janssens died in Antwerp. His pupils included his son Abraham Janssens II, Giovanni di Filippo del Campo, Michele Desubleo, Nicolas Régnier, Gerard Seghers, Theodoor Rombouts and Steven Wils.

General
Janssens painted both religious, mythological and allegorical scenes, and occasionally a portrait. He also painted genre-style scenes representing the five senses or the seven deadly sins.

Janssens affixed the signature "Janssens van Nuyssen" to several of his pictures. It is believed that 'van Nuyssen' was the family name of his mother and that Janssens added it to his signature to distinguish himself from his namesakes as the family name Janssens was very common in 17th-century Flanders.

It is difficult to determine the chronology of Janssens' oeuvre, as he only dated or documented a few of his works.

Early works
His earliest works are steeped in late 16th-century Mannerism and are characterized by an artificial design and a palette composed of dispersing colours. An example is his earliest dated picture Diana and Callisto of 1601 (Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest), which demonstrates that at the time he was less influenced by Italian painting than by the late Mannerist style that was at the time being developed in Utrecht and Haarlem and drew inspiration from the work of the Flemish painter Bartholomeus Spranger. The work Diana and Callisto does, however, rely on Italian sculpture of both Antiquity and the Renaissance, as does his later work.

Following his return to Antwerp in 1602 Janssens' work displayed a strong reliance on Raphael. This is clear in the composition Mount Olympus (Alte Pinakothek, Munich) which shows the combination of Janssens' study of the Antique and of Michelangelo, during his stay in Italy and through prints which he could access in Antwerp.

From 1606 onwards, his style started to show the influence of Caravaggio. It is believed that this was a response to new tendencies in the Antwerp school of painting around this time. He painted in this style for about five to six years.

His composition Scaldis and Antverpia (also referred to as Allegory of the Scheldt) of 1609 (Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp) is a key work of Janssens' Caravaggesque period. It was commissioned by the Antwerp city magistrate to decorate the chimney in the city hall's Assembly Room where the Twelve Years' Truce between Spain and the Dutch Republic was signed on 9 April 1609. Rubens also received a commission for the same occasion. It was hoped that the Truce would bring new prosperity and trade to Antwerp, for which the city had traditionally relied on the river Scheldt. The subject of the work is therefore Scaldis (the river Scheldt) and Antverpia (the city of Antwerp). This work was made when Janssens' artistic powers had reached their peak. The figure of Scaldis is inspired by the statute of the Tiber on the Capitoline Hill while the composition itself resembles Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam. This work shows how Janssens' style had developed towards a classic academic beauty, harmonious in form and with an unbroken palette. The influence of Caravaggio is seen in the use of strong contrasts of light and shadow (chiaroscuro) to create expressive power, while the influence of the School of Bologna can be found in his search for noble classicism. The preference of Janssens for sculptural form impairs the drama of the work as the figures are represented in frozen poses and expression. Still it remains possible that this impressive work had some influence on Rubens' painting as there are, for example, similarities in the colour of the garments of the female protagonists in Rubens' Samson and Delilah (c. 1609–10; National Gallery, London).

Other works dating to this overtly Caravaggesque period are the Allegory of the burdens of time (Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, 1609), Peace and plenty (Wolverhampton Art Gallery, 1614), which was also commissioned for the Antwerp city hall's Assembly Room, and The dead Christ in the tomb with two angels (Metropolitan Museum of Art, c. 1610). The latter painting was likely commissioned as an altarpiece. This Caravaggesque composition predates comparable Dutch works such as Dirck van Baburen's Roman charity by a decade.

Later works
Janssens' later work is regarded as less convincing. After 1612 his painting style, like that of his other colleagues in Antwerp, came under the strong influence of the free style of Rubens' pictorial technique. Janssens' paintings of half-length figures were still regarded as innovative and influential while his devotional pictures were also successful. A good example of the latter is The crucifixion (Musée des beaux-arts de Valenciennes, c. 1620) in which the figures look painted like sculptures and take on an iconic timelessness.

This is still quite a boring page. I wish you guys hadn't removed my picture. Ah well. I don't want to be seen as a spamming recidivist, but this page needs a bit extra. Not just my pic (LOL) but a bit more juicy text as well. I'll try to come up with something, but if any one native speaker can come up with something in proper English, I'd be thrilled.

It seems to me that a definition of 'wit' as "slang" for 'with' is highly out of place.

Agreed, this slang must be attached with the with definition not with Wit. --Magallanes 02:17, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

The Dimwit Flathead link is funny, but not very relevant, I'd say, having played the game myself. Perhaps a link to the word "dimwit" would be better? Sir Ophiuchus 04:18, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

What about this:

Wit is regarded the highest form of sarcasm. Whereas, sarcasm is considered the lowest form of wit – hereby intrinsically giving the wittiest example of wit.

Useful?--Lord Snoeckx 21:20, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I find that definition of sarcasm most often used by those who do not understand it. Perhaps they are not quick-witted enough.  Call that the sar-chasm.

On a content note, what does 'To Wit' mean, as in addressing a declaratory statement?208.114.132.151 06:35, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Same as "witness", and probably etymologically related. What about those wits we are suppose to keep about us, or at the end of which we might be?  [these are mentioned...] But true, whilst a wit, being a person, could be encylopedic (e.g. Mark Twain, Will Rogers, Oscar Wilde, etc), all these other three uses mentioned here are really wiktionary, not wikipedia material, except as they form background for a discussion of historical persons.--SportWagon 18:03, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Given the root meaning of "wit", as, roughly, "mental faculties", all of "to wit", "witness", "wits about you", and "wits' end" would seem to follow, although without historical research, some etymology might be historically false.--SportWagon 18:10, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

 * What about this: Why are the writers and editors of this article asking each other what should or should not be included within it? Anyone who knows a subject well enough will be able to simply include the relevant and exclude the irrelevant. Anyone who doesn’t have a command of the topic should refrain from contributing to an article about it. It’s not a complicated matter. With that said, this article is meandering, occasionally confusing, and has no voice of command. It seems it would be of very little use to a reader unfamiliar with the concept. Its nadir is its reference to an episode of the Simpsons, which falls within in its list-like section before a quotation from Shakespeare.  So for writers and editors unfamiliar with the concept, here is an example of (admittedly acerbic) wit: Seizing every opportunity to cite an animated television comedy as a reference - in an encyclopedia that expects to be taken seriously by intelligent readers - is a nearly-nauseating habit of many of Wikipedia's contributors.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.239.133.107 (talk) 20:08, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Then it should have a short list of people (historical and fictional) known for their wit and a sample of their wit.

Air-to-surface missile

An air-to-surface missile (ASM) or air-to-ground missile (AGM) is a missile designed to be launched from military aircraft at targets on land or sea. There are also unpowered guided glide bombs not considered missiles. The two most common propulsion systems for air-to-surface missiles are rocket motors, usually with shorter range, and slower, longer-range jet engines. Some Soviet-designed air-to-surface missiles are powered by ramjets, giving them both long range and high speed.

Guidance for air-to-surface missiles is typically via laser guidance, infrared guidance, optical guidance or via satellite guidance signals. The type of guidance depends on the type of target. Ships, for example, may be detected via passive radar or active radar homing, which is less effective against multiple, small, fast-moving land targets.

There is some cross-over between air-to-surface missiles and surface-to-surface missiles. For example, there was an air-launched version of the Tomahawk missile, superseded by the AGM-86 ALCM. Other missiles used in both roles include the Penguin and AGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missiles. Many air-to-surface missiles can be used against both ships and land targets, although some must be modified to perform a different role; for example, the AGM-84E Standoff Land Attack Missile is a land-attack version of the Harpoon.

A major advantage of air-to-surface missiles for ground attack by aircraft is the standoff distance they provide: missiles can be launched from a distance without coming within range of the target's air defences. Most air-to-surface missiles are fire-and-forget from a standoff distance, allowing the attacker to withdraw without approaching further after launch. Some missiles (typically cruise missiles or anti-ship missiles) have long enough range to be launched over the horizon, finding the target autonomously.

Sub-categories of air-to-surface missiles include:
 * air-launched anti-tank guided missiles (typically launched from helicopters)
 * air-launched cruise missiles
 * air-launched anti-ship missiles
 * anti-radiation missiles

Typically, the higher and faster the launching aircraft is flying, the longer the reach of a particular missile is. For long-range missiles this difference can be relatively small, but short-range missiles (like the AGM-65 Maverick) have a much longer range when launched at altitude.

There have been examples of air-launched ballistic missiles (Air Launched ICBM, GAM-87 Skybolt), but they are rare. Sometimes air-to-surface missiles are divided into the categories of tactical and strategic. Typically missiles with chemical explosive or small nuclear warheads are classed as tactical, and large nuclear warheads as strategic.

More information needed
The present information about our people is not adequate, i will try to give more info.--Coolvic (talk) 22:20, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Edit POV wording to be more neutral
Removed wording "pressure" as well as "christian based militant group".This shows antagonism bias toward christian, with a POV, as well as not being citation supported. Embedded word links also --Kathanar 15:48, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Indigenous peoples
The status of Chakma or any other tribe of Bangladesh as Indigenous peoples is much debated. Rainmaker23 edited the article CLAIMING as a rv, but which is not a revert, in a standing of NPOV. Rather, it is a POV to state Chakma as indigenous, as the status is not unanimous; while stating them as a tribe is purely neutral. There should be a section about their indigenous status in the article, but unless they are legally given that status, putting it in the intro, is POV and not NPOV. Please note the definition of Indigenous peoples per Wikipedia. I am not an anthropologist, so, I should not partake in the debate of whether they should be given a indigenous status or not; but as an editor, I should stick to what it is now (and hope they get what they deserve soon). --»  nafSadh did say 06:31, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Much debated Nafsadh? Why is it that all most every single major newspaper in Bangladesh and the UN recognize them as indigenous? Even the present ruling party did so until coming to power. For you to keep reinserting the term tribe is high bias on your part, since it's a term opposed vehemently by a lot of indigenous representatives. Also, keep in mind that at the time of partition in 1947, the hill people constituted 92% of the majority in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (that's come down to 50% now because of Bengali settlement). So even 60 years ago, the region was indigenous primarily to the Chakmas and other ethnic groups in the hills.--Rainmaker23 (talk) 19:12, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Much debates, because, the authority is reluctant to give them that status. --»  nafSadh did say 20:50, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
 * And you're a suck up of the authority is it? That's not how Wikipedia works.--Rainmaker23 (talk) 06:17, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Watch your word! And I've been here for a while, not just couple of months, to know how En:Wikipedia works. Please read more about Wikipedia, you'll find links on your talk page. --»  nafSadh did say 09:19, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

List of provosts of Dundee

The Lord Provost of Dundee is the chair and civic head of the Dundee City Council in Scotland. They are elected by the city council and serve not only as the chair of that body, but as a figurehead and Lord Lieutenant for the city. They are equivalent in many ways to the institution of Mayor that exists in other countries.

Each of the 32 Scottish local authorities elects a Provost, but it is only the four largest cities, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Dundee that have a Lord Provost. This is enshrined in the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994.

The Mediaeval burgh of Dundee was administered by officials known as "Bailies", Provosts and the office of "Constable of Dundee". The office of Provost as the single chief official of the burgh was not created until the 1480s.
