Avet Terterian

Alfred Roubenovich "Avet" Terterian (also Terteryan) (Ալֆրեդ "Ավետ" Տերտերյան, July 29, 1929 – December 11, 1994) was an Armenian composer, awarded the Konrad Adenauer Prize.

Terterian composed eight (completed) symphonies, several of which are recorded, an opera and several chamber works.

Terterian was a friend and colleague of Giya Kancheli, Konstantin Orbelyan, and Tigran Mansurian. Dmitri Shostakovich praised Terterian as "very talented" and "with great future" in one of his letters, published by his friend Isaak Glikman, having heard a recording of Terterian's works at Armenia's "House of Composers" summer resort in Dilijan, Armenia.

He studied at the Music Academy in Baku from 1948, and moved to the Romanos-Melikian Music Academy in 1951. He studied composition at the Komitas State Conservatory in Yerevan from 1952. He was Executive Secretary of the Armenian Composers’ Union from 1960 to 1963. He was Chairman of the Music Department at the Armenian Cultural Ministry from 1970 and 1974. He joined Yerevan Conservatory as a professor in 1985. In 1989, he moved to the village of Ayrivank, located on the western shore of Lake Sevan, Gegharkunik region of Armenia.

Yekaterinburg's annual music festival is named after Terterian.

Giya Kancheli's work Styx, written for solo viola, chorus, and orchestra is a farewell to his friends Terterian and Alfred Schnittke, whose names are sung by the choir during the work.

Terterian's son, Dr. Ruben Terterian, was a professor of music in Samborondón, Ecuador, until his death in January 2020; and former prorector at the Komitas State Conservatory of Yerevan.

His most notable student is Vache Sharafyan.

Cēpacol

Cepacol ( styled Cēpacol) is an American brand of personal hygiene products, as well as  for relief of sore throat. It is distributed in the US by Reckitt. The brand was originally owned by J.B. Williams. Following acquisition by Combe Incorporated, Combe Incorporated sold Cepacol to Reckitt Benckiser in 2011.

They were originally recognized for their yellow mouthwash, the active ingredient of which is Ceepryn (cetylpyridinium chloride), hence the name. The distinctive flavor and color is known as "Original Gold". Cēpacol claims that their mouthwash is the most-used brand in hospitals.

Cēpacol also makes oral anesthetics, such as its cherry flavored throat spray and soother that provides temporary pain relief for an "itchy" or sore throat. Cēpacol has released different health and hygiene products including throat lozenges. The major active ingredients of the sugar-free lozenges are cetylpyridinium chloride, benzocaine (which produces the numbing sensation), and menthol. The major active ingredient in the sore throat sprays is dyclonine hydrochloride.

In Australia, Cēpacol lozenges contain cetylpyridinium chloride and benzyl alcohol. Cepacaine lozenges contain lignocaine and cetylpyridinium chloride, and Cepacaine mouthwash contains benzocaine and cetylpyridinium chloride. The Australian brand is owned by Bayer, having been sold by Merrell Dow to Roche, who then divested their Australian and New Zealand over-the-counter drug business to Bayer.

In the US, the Cēpacol lozenges have benzocaine while the mouthwash has cetylpyridinium chloride.

Lazar Berman

Lazar Naumovich Berman (Ла́зарь Нау́мович Бе́рман, Lazar Naumovich Berman; February 26, 1930 – February 6, 2005) was a Soviet Russian classical pianist, Honoured Artist of the RSFSR (1988). He was hailed for a huge, thunderous technique that made him a thrilling interpreter of Liszt and Rachmaninoff and a late representative of the grand school of Russian Romantic pianism. Emil Gilels described him as a "phenomenon of the musical world."

Biography
Berman was born to Jewish parents in Leningrad (Russian SSR, Soviet Union). His mother, Anna Lazarevna Makhover, had played the piano herself until prevented by hearing problems. She introduced her son to the piano at the age of two. Berman entered his first competition at the age of three, and recorded a Mozart fantasia and a mazurka that he had composed himself at the age of seven, before he could even read music.

Berman was first noticed while participating in city young talents competition. The jury under the chairmanship of Leonid Nikolaev noticed the child's "rare exceptional case of musical and piano skills". Now, after being officially given title "prodigy" at the age of four, he started studying with Leningrad State Conservatory professor, Samariy Savshinsky.

In 1939 when Berman was nine, the family moved to Moscow so that he could study with Aleksandr Goldenweiser, first at Central Musical School, and then at the Moscow Conservatory, where he graduated in 1953. In 1940, he made his formal debut playing Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 25 with the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra. In 1941, students, pupils and parents were evacuated to Samara (then Kuybyshev), a city on the Volga, because of World War II. Living conditions were so poor that his mother had to cut the fingers from a pair of gloves to allow him to continue to practise without freezing his hands.

He subsequently began to acquire international prominence. At the age of 12 he played Franz Liszt's La campanella to a British audience over the radio. In 1956 became a laureate of two international piano competitions: Queen Elisabeth Competition in Belgium, with Vladimir Ashkenazy, and the Franz Liszt Competition in Budapest, Hungary. As a result of these accomplishments, Berman was offered an international tour, and landed a recording deal, which included recordings of Liszt's sonata and Beethoven's "Appassionata". In 1958, he performed in London and recorded for SAGA.

From 1959 to 1971 Berman was not allowed to travel abroad due to his marriage to a French national (the marriage soon fell apart); however, he continued to tour around Soviet Union, and did some recordings at Melodia studio, including Liszt's Transcendental Études. That recording became one of the first Soviet recordings done with the use of stereo technology. From the mid 1970s, Berman was again allowed to tour abroad, which he did to high acclaim.

In 1968 he married Valentina Sedova and in 1970 their son, Pavel, was born.

Although he was known to international music aficionados who had heard the occasional recording on the Russian Melodiya record label, as well as those who visited the Soviet Union, he was not generally well known outside Russia before his 1975 American tour, organised by the impresario Jacques Leiser. His now legendary New York debut at the 92nd Street Y, where he played Liszt's Transcendental Études, struck the music world like lightning. He became an overnight sensation. Before that, he had been generally restricted to the Soviet concert circuit, playing on old and decrepit pianos to audiences of varied degrees of interest. Invitations to tour outside the Soviet Union were ignored by the Soviet state concert agency, Gosconcert. He lived in a tiny two-room apartment in Moscow, with a grand piano occupying an entire room. But after his 1975 tour, he was immediately in great demand, with Deutsche Grammophon, EMI, and CBS vying to record him. He recorded the Tchaikovsky First Piano Concerto with Herbert von Karajan, as well as broadcasting it on international television with Antal Doráti, to mark United Nations Day in 1976.

His playing of Chopin is well documented, in both a concert film and a Deutsche Grammophon recording of the polonaises from the 1970s.

Most of his British appearances came in the late 1970s and early 1980s. In December 1976, he performed music by Sergei Prokofiev and Franz Liszt at the Royal Festival Hall.

In 1980, at the height of his popularity, Berman again was barred from leaving the Soviet Union. This time it was because a book by an American writer (censored in the USSR) was found in his luggage while he was passing custom in Moscow's airport.

In August 1990 Berman left the USSR for Norway, followed by final relocation to Italy, where he became a teacher. Four years later he became an Italian citizen, and the following year he was invited to the Musical School of Weimar, Germany, where he continued teaching until 2000. He often performed along with his son, violinist Pavel Berman.

Berman died in 2005, survived by his second wife, Valentina Sedova, also a pianist, and their son, talented violinist and conductor Pavel Berman. His students included Sonya Bach, Italian pianists Giuliano Mazzocante, Maurizio Baglini, Enrico Elisi, and Enrico Pace, Vladimir Stoupel, Rutsuko Yamagishi, Ioana Lupascu, Gintaras Januševičius, Vardan Mamikonian, Victor Chestopal, Rueibin Chen, Antonio Formaro and Viktoriya Yermolyeva, as well as Korean pianist Chong Park and Japanese pianist Chiharu Aizawa, who later got married and perform as the piano duo “Duo VIVID”

Berman is buried at the Cimitero delle Porte Sante in Florence. The epitaph on his burial stone says: "You and your music are always with us".

Linkou District

Linkou District is a district in the northwestern part of New Taipei City in northern Taiwan. The name "Linkou" translates to "forest mouth"; in fact, for much of its history, Linkou remained a relatively rural and undeveloped district. This has recently begun to change: Since the latter half of the 2010s, Linkou has been undergoing a period of rapid population growth and land development relative to other nearby districts.

Geography
As of February 2023, Linkou District had a population of 128,929, an increase of over 41% compared to the population in 2011 – giving it one of the fastest population growth rates in New Taipei City. Linkou has a land area of 54.15 km2, including many forested areas and canyons.

Administrative divisions
The district administers 17 urban villages (all seventeen of which were rural villages before changes made on 25 December 2010):

 * Donglin
 * Linkou
 * Xilin
 * Jinghu
 * Zhonghu
 * Hubei
 * Hunan
 * Nanshi
 * Renai
 * Lilin
 * Dongshi
 * Liyuan
 * Dingfu
 * Xiafu
 * Jiabao
 * Ruiping
 * Taiping Village

Linkou New Town
Since 1968, the government has planned to establish a new town in Linkou to relieve the overcrowded Taipei City. In 1975, it was released and implemented with the Linkou Interchange of National Freeway 1 as the center, including the planning of both industrial and residential areas. To the north of Linkou Interchange is Linkou District, New Taipei City, and to the south is Guishan District, Taoyuan City. The new town spans the two cities but was still named Linkou. However, some facilities and businesses in the planned new town that use "Linkou" in their name, such as Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital and Fullon Hotel Linkou, are actually located in Guishan District rather than Linkou District.

At the early stages, development of the new town was slow due to various reasons, and the original estimated scale of 250,000 people was also reduced to 80,000. It was pointed out that the reason for the failure was that the industry was not properly introduced, the transportation was inconvenient, and it was quite far away from the Taipei metropolitan area. People were not willing to relocate due to the difficulty in finding employment.

However, the subsequent opening of the Taoyuan Airport MRT Linkou metro station in 2017 and the development of Huaya Science and Technology Park in Guishan District have improved the traffic between Linkou and Taipei City and Taoyuan International Airport, respectively.

Education
Linkou District has two universities, several public schools, and as of 2021 has three international schools. Since the founding of the first international school in the district, Asia American International Academy (AAIA) in 2014, and subsequent openings of Kang Chiao International School Linkou Campus in 2018 and Morrison Academy Taipei in 2020, Linkou District has seen increased growth in its English-speaking foreign population.

A gun salute or cannon salute is the use of a piece of artillery to fire shots, often 21 in number (21-gun salute), with the aim of marking an honor or celebrating a joyful event. It is a tradition in many countries around the world.

History

Firing cannons is a maritime tradition that dates back to the 14th century, when the cannon began to impose itself on the battlefields: a boat entering the waters of a country unloads its weapons and thus marks its intentions peaceful. The coastal batteries or the boats encountered then respond to this salute. If 7 cannon shots are fired at the start, corresponding to the number of guns on board a boat, in addition to the symbolism of the number seven, this number increases to 21, since it was considered that for a shot fired by a boat, the batteries on land had enough powder for three rounds.

Other numbered salutes
To honor the 75th birthday of King Charles III, a number of special salutes were fired. A 41-gun salute was fired by the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery in London's Green Park. This was one of a number of gun salutes on the day, including a 62-gun salute at the Tower of London.

Minute gun salute
The firing of guns at intervals of one minute is a traditional expression of mourning used at sea and at state funerals. In the United Kingdom in 1837 at the funeral of King William IV, guns were fired all day, but at for Queen Victoria, there was a salute of eighty-one minute guns, one for each year of her life, a custom that has continued at royal funerals since. In the United States, at noon on the day of presidential funerals, military installations across the country fire a 21 minute gun salute.

Naval cannon fire
When a cannon was fired, it partially disarmed the ship until reloaded, so needlessly firing a cannon showed respect and trust. As a matter of courtesy a warship would fire her guns harmlessly out to sea, to show that she had no hostile intent. At first, ships were required to fire seven guns; meanwhile forts, with their more numerous guns and a larger supply of gunpowder, were required meanwhile to fire 21 times. Later, as the quality of gunpowder improved, the British increased the number of shots required from ships to match the forts.

The system of odd-numbered rounds originated from Samuel Pepys, Secretary to the Navy in the Restoration, as a way of economising on the use of powder, the rule until that time having been that all guns had to be fired. Odd numbers were chosen, as even numbers indicated a death.

As naval customs evolved, the 21-gun salute came to be reserved for heads of state, with fewer rounds used to salute lower-ranking officials. Today, In the US Armed Forces, heads of government and cabinet ministers (e.g., the Vice President, U.S. cabinet members, and service secretaries ), and military officers with five-star rank receive 19 rounds; four-stars receive 17 rounds; three-stars receive 15; two-stars receive 13; and a one-star general or admiral receives 11. These same standards are currently adhered to by ground-based saluting batteries.

Multiples of 21-gun salutes may be fired for particularly important celebrations. In monarchies this is often done at births of members of the royal family of the country and other official celebrations associated with the royal family.

United States Army Presidential Salute Battery
A specialty platoon of the 3rd US Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard), the Presidential Salute Battery is based at Fort Myer, Virginia. The Guns Platoon (as it is known for short) has the task of rendering military honors in the National Capital Region, including armed forces full-honors funerals; state funerals; presidential inaugurations; full-honors wreath ceremonies at the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery; state arrivals at the White House and Pentagon, and retirement ceremonies for general-grade officers in the Military District of Washington, which are normally conducted at Fort Myer.

The Presidential Salute Battery also participates in A Capitol Fourth, the Washington Independence Day celebration; the guns accompany the National Symphony Orchestra in performing the "1812 Overture".

The platoon maintains its battery of ten ceremonially-modified World War II-vintage M5 anti-tank guns at the Old Guard regimental motor pool.

Aerial salute
A ceremonial or celebratory form of aerial salute is the flypast (known as a "flyover" in the United States), which often follows major parades such as the annual Trooping the Colour in the United Kingdom and the French Bastille Day military parade (défilé du 14 juillet). It is seen in other countries as well, notably Singapore and Canada. In Singapore, the Republic of Singapore Air Force usually conducts aerial salutes during the annual National Day Parade and major state events, such as during the funeral of Lee Kuan Yew.

Gun salute by aircraft, primarily displayed during funerals, began with simple flypasts during World War I and have evolved into the missing man formation, where either a formation of aircraft is conspicuously missing an element or a single aircraft abruptly leaves a formation.

A casual salute by an aircraft, somewhat akin to waving to a friend, is the custom of "waggling" the wings by partially rolling the aircraft first to one side, and then the other.

Joseph Bonnet

Joseph Élie Georges-Marie Bonnet (17 March 1884 – 2 August 1944) was a French composer and organist.

Biography
One of the major French pipe organists, Joseph Bonnet was born in Bordeaux. He first studied with his father, an organist at St. Eulalie. At the age of 14, he became official organist, first at St. Nicholas and almost immediately at St. Michael. Bonnet also attended classes with Alexandre Guilmant at the Conservatoire de Paris. A few years later he finished with a first prize and, in 1906 was selected to become the organist at St. Eustache, Paris. In 1911 he had the privilege of succeeding Guilmant as concert organist at the conservatoire. He was actively teaching at this time and one of his notable students from his earlier years was Canadian organist Henri Gagnon.

On 28 January 1917 he moved to the United States, where he gave more than 100 concerts around the country until 1919. He was elected an honorary member of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia music fraternity in June 1917. Bonnet founded the organ department of the Eastman School of Music in 1921. He composed a large number of organ pieces and compiled the six-volume Historical Organ Recitals.

A few years later, Bonnet returned to Paris, where Denise Restout attended one of his master classes in 1933. Four years later, he took Louis Vierne's position as organ teacher and specialist at L’École César-Franck.

In 1940, due to the outbreak of World War II, he was forced to leave France and returned to North America. He was organist at the Worcester Art Museum 1942-1943 and was appointed professor at the Conservatoire de musique du Québec à Montréal in 1943. In Paris Bonnet had taught a student from Québec named Conrad Bernier who studied with him 1923-26, who eventually became one of the premier advocates of French organ music in the United States as both professor of organ and head of the Organ Department at Catholic University of America.

Bonnet died on 2 August 1944, while vacationing in St. Luce-sur-Mer, near Rimouski, Quebec. He is buried at the Benedictine Abbey of Saint-Benoît-du-Lac, near Magog (Québec).

''Pamela Rogers Turner (born 1977) is a teacher from Tennessee who was arrested, on 2005-02-08 and charged with fifteen counts of of sexual battery by an authoritive figure and thirteen counts of statutory rape.

"Wikipedia should not offer news reports on breaking stories.... Wikipedia does have many encyclopedia articles on topics of historical significance that are currently in the news" (says What_Wikipedia_is_not); even if these allegations were to be proven in court, statutory rape committed by somebody otherwise unknown would not be a topic of historical significance.

Wikipedia has an article on Debra Lafave and her case hasn't even gone to full trial yet.

Mírzá Muhammad ʻAlí

Mírzá Muhammad ʻAlí ( 1853–1937) was one of the sons of Baháʼu'lláh, the founder of the Baháʼí Faith. He was the eldest son of his father's second wife, Fatimih Khanum, later known as Mahd-i-'Ulya, whom Baháʼu'lláh married in Tehran in 1849. Muhammad ʻAlí received the title from his father of G͟husn-i-Akbar ("Greatest Branch" or "Greater Branch").

Early years
Mírzá Muhammad ʻAlí was born on December 16, 1853, in Baghdad during Baháʼu'lláh's first year of exile in that city. In 1863, at the age of nine, he accompanied his family in their exile to Constantinople and Adrianople. During the final days in Adrianople, Mírzá Muhammad ʻAlí wrote about eighty letters to the believers of the Baháʼí Faith, such as those in Baghdad and its surrounding towns. He also asked permission of his father to travel abroad and spread the Baháʼí Faith.

Dispute with ʻAbdu'l-Bahá
In the Kitáb-i-ʻAhd ("Book of the Covenant"), Baháʼu'lláh appointed ʻAbdu'l-Bahá as his successor, with Muhammad ʻAli given a station "beneath" that of ʻAbdu'l-Bahá. Both were noted explicitly by their titles, with Muhammad Ali being called G͟husn-i-Akbar and ʻAbdu'l-Bahá being called G͟husn-i-Aʻzam. As time passed, Muhammad ʻAlí claimed that ʻAbdu'l-Bahá was not sharing power. According to some interpretations, Muhammad ʻAlí insisted that he should instead be regarded as the leader of the Baháʼís. Many accusations were leveled against each other by both ʻAbdu'l-Bahá and Muhammad ʻAlí, culminating in Muhammad ʻAlí's accusing his older brother of conspiring against the Ottoman government. This resulted in the imprisonment and near-death of ʻAbdu'l-Bahá and his family. Almost all Baháʼís accepted ʻAbdu'l-Bahá as Baháʼu'lláh's successor.

At the time of ʻAbdu'l-Bahá's death, Shoghi Effendi was appointed the Guardian of the Faith by ʻAbdu'l-Bahá in his Will and Testament, while Muhammad ʻAlí was reprimanded in the same document as "The Center of Sedition, the Prime Mover of mischief." Muhammad ʻAlí took the opportunity of ʻAbdu'l-Bahá's death to try to revive his claim to leadership, based on Baháʼu'lláh's will Kitáb-i-ʻAhd as well as an earlier private letter of Baháʼu'lláh to Mirza 'Ali-Muhammad Varqa. However, his attempt to occupy the Shrine of Baháʼu'lláh by force left him on the losing end of a legal battle that removed any rights he had to the property.

The division between rival sects with Mírzá Muhammad ʻAlí and Shoghi Effendi as their respective leaders was short-lived and Shoghi Effendi emerged as the leader of the global Baháʼí community, labeling Muhammad ʻAlí the arch-breaker of the Covenant of Baháʼu'lláh. Mírzá Muhammad ʻAlí would lead the small Unitarian Baha'i denomination. In 1904, he sent his oldest son, Shua Ullah Behai, to the United States where he led the Unitarian Baha'i community. From 1934 to 1937, Behai published Behai Quarterly, a Unitarian Baháʼí magazine written in English and featuring the writings of Mirza Muhammad ʻAlí and various other Unitarian Bahais, including Ibrahim George Kheiralla. This schism had very little effect overall. In the ʻAkká area, the followers of Muhammad ʻAlí represented six families at most, they had no common religious activities, and were almost wholly assimilated into Muslim society. This group essentially disappeared. A modern academic observer has reported an ineffectual attempt to revive the claims of Muhammad Ali.

Death
Mirza Muhammad ʻAlí died on December 10, 1937, in the city of Haifa in the Mandate of Palestine. Memorial services were held at Haifa on Tuesday, January the 18th, 1938.

Gíallchad

Gíallchad, the son of Ailill Olcháin, son of Sírna Sáeglach, was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, the 37th High King of Ireland. Gíallchad took power after killing his predecessor, and the son of his grandfather's killer, Elim Olfínechta, in the battle of Comair Trí nUisce. He is said to have taken one out of every five men of Munster hostage. Gíallchad reigned for nine years, before being killed by Elim's son Art Imlech at Mag Muaide. The Lebor Gabála Érenn synchronises his reign with that of Phraortes of the Medes (665–633 BCE). The chronology of Geoffrey Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 786–777 BCE, that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 1023–1014 BCE.

Gíallchad's son was Nuadu Finn Fáil.

Re-write or re-direct?
This article is almost entirely agenda driven by Cornish nationalists, an academic fringe group. The detail is either off-topic, uncited, or backed by sources not properly interpreted or of dubious reliability. The status of this article was questioned extensively after it was created (see talk) but nothing much seems to have happened since then. Roger 8 Roger (talk) 20:55, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

>> This is a serious accusation of bias, and an attack on fellow contributors. Please may I suggest you provide evidence of bias and state the elements that you believe are off-topic or uncited, then others may respond positivley and decide on whether a rewrite is necessary. Artowalos (talk) 12:41, 5 July 2021 (UTC)Artowalos.

 * This whole article would leave a person with no knowledge of the subject, under the impression that Cornwall's constitutional status is debatable, unclear, and it implies Cornwall is or should be a seperate state. This is all despite the fact that Cornwall has always been part of England for England's entire existance, the status of Cornwall is very much confirmed as part of England.
 * This lenghy article about alleged and uncited arguments for and against is typical of Wikipedia's worst side, use as a political agenda machine which somehow avoids deletion for years.
 * What does this article accomplish? It's almost like it's been designed purely to stir up some kind of artificial racial hatred between St George and St Piran flag wavers.
 * Anything important about the status of Cornwall... is on the Wikipedia page for Cornwall.
 * If this page doesn't deserve deletion, why shouldn't a "Constitutional Status of Lancashire" page also be formed? It's a newer county, with a duchy too, and Andy Burnham has said the government doesn't care about that area.
 * Clearly this whole page is drivel and ignores facts in favour of a few personal anti English ideologies.

List of census divisions of Saskatchewan

The province of Saskatchewan, Canada is divided into 18 census divisions according to Statistics Canada. Unlike in some other provinces, census divisions do not reflect the organization of local government in Saskatchewan. These areas exist solely for the purposes of statistical analysis and presentation; they have no government of their own.

Saskatchewan's census divisions consist of numerous census subdivisions which include subdivisions such as:
 * Urban municipalities (cities, towns, villages, and resort villages);
 * Rural municipalities;
 * Northern municipalities (northern towns, northern villages, and northern hamlets); and
 * Indian reserves

Nuadu Finn Fáil

Nuadu Finn Fáil (Nuadu the Fair of Fál - a poetic name for Ireland), son of Gíallchad, was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a High King of Ireland, who took power after he killed his predecessor, and his father's killer, Art Imlech. The Lebor Gabála Érenn says he ruled for either sixty or forty years (Geoffrey Keating says twenty, the Four Masters forty) before being killed by Art's son Bres Rí. The Lebor Gabála synchronises his reign with that of Cyaxares of the Medes (625–585 BC). The chronology of Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 755–735 BC, that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 1002–962 BC.

Genealogy
Nuadu Finn Fáil was fathered by Gíallchad, whose father was Oilill Olchaoin. His son was Áedan Glas, whose son was Siomón Brecc mac Aedan. In turn, Siomón's son was Muiredach Bolgrach.

Nabuur
Promotional spiel. Not encyclopedic.--ZayZayEM 02:42, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep, it needs a serious rewrite, it's more notable than many of the websites currently in wikipedia--nixie 02:49, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Definitely needs a rewrite since it looks like an advertisement.  Gets about 39,400 Google hits (but only about 6000 outside site:www.nabuur.com).  --Idont Havaname 03:33, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep There is a positive tone to the article for which I accept responsibility. However, I believe it is consistent with these guidelines. It is about something new, in concept and intention, and thus the task of definition is different from that for familiar items such as dog or cat or Albert Einstein. While it speaks positively, I am not aware of inaccuracies. There is reference to belief which does not seem inappropriate for a new and idealistic matter. Note that belief is expressed as belief and not as fact. I have spent a lot of time trying to figure if--82.92.181.162 13:47, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC) this is the right way to make this entry... please clarify if I am procedurally wrong Dennis Argall
 * Weak Delete. It did get a mention in the New York Times, and it sounds like it has quite worthy goals, but there are thousands of non-profit NGOs out there, many even with similar goals. I think the familiarity test should probably be applied in this case. But maybe not! That's why I'm going with the "weak" here. HyperZonk 23:24, Feb 12, 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep, multiple authors have contributed to the page, and appear to be engaged in a sincere effort to bring it to a good standard. Given that the policy on vanity pages states articles about start-up businesses are acceptable, the existance of thousands of other non-profit organisations is not a significant consideration.  (Unless for-profit organisations are inherently more interesting than non-profit organisations.)

Bres Rí

Bres Rí (Bres the King), son of Art Imlech, was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a High King of Ireland, who took power after killing his predecessor, and his father's killer, Nuadu Finn Fáil. He ruled for nine years, and fought many battles against the Fomorians, before he was killed at Carn Conluain by Eochu Apthach. The Lebor Gabála Érenn synchronises his reign with those of Nebuchadrezzar II of Babylon (605–562), Cambyses II of Persia (died 522 BC), and Cyaxares of the Medes (625–585). The chronology of Geoffrey Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 735–726 BC, that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 962–953 BC.

Armada Rijeka

Armada are a football ultras group that support HNK Rijeka. They also support Rijeka's other sports clubs, such as RK Zamet (handball), VK Primorje EB (waterpolo) and KK Kvarner 2010 (basketball).

The name Armada was given in 1987 at a bar in the "Ri" shopping mall in Rijeka, and the first game attended by the Armada was the Final of the Yugoslav football cup against Hajduk Split in Belgrade on 9 May 1987. The newly formed supporters group named themselves after the Spanish Armada because of the strength they showed in their support. Their fiercest rivals are BBB (Bad Blue Boys), Torcida, Demoni Pula and Kohorta.

At home games, Armada members gather in the west stand at Stadion Kantrida, from where they fiercely support their club. They also regularly support Rijeka in the club's away games. They regularly display choreographies and light up flares.

Their mottos are: Sami protiv svih - Alone against everybody, and Krepat, ma ne molat - Die but not give up.

Armada's mascot is a shark.

There are numerous Armada murals around the city of Rijeka, and its surroundings, showing each neighbourhood's support and love for the club. The murals, a form of urban art, stretch from Jelšane in Slovenia in the north, Novi Vinodolski in the east, Lošinj, on Lošinj island, in the south, and Lovran in the west. The location and photos of murals can be found on Armada's official website.

Safeway Goya

Safeway Goya was the stage name for Fred de Ráfols while lead singer of The Nobodys, an American new wave band from Los Angeles, California (not to be confused with the punk band of the same name from Colorado Springs, Colorado) best known for the 1984 album No Guarantees and its eponymous single.

Career
Goya, of Spanish descent, chose the pen name "Safeway Goya" taken from the Safeway grocery store and the famous Spanish painter, Francisco Goya to reflect both his American and Spanish sides.

Goya and his brother, guitarist and keyboardist Alex Blanc, originally started their musical careers in Davis, California, in the early 1970s under the group name Squid. They also built a small recording studio in their mother's home on Anza Avenue. Appropriately, it was named Anza Studios and Silversleeves Productions. Anza Records produced a 45-RPM single in 1975 "Rain or Shine" / "Kick Up A Storm" that was engineered by Anthony Della Rosa.

Goya and Blanc independently wrote, produced and released a single, "Sex is a Bottomless Pit" on their self-founded label Whatever Records, and were subsequently signed to Capitol Records and EMI International, leading to a worldwide release of the album No Guarantees on August 8, 1984. Goya produced the album and wrote the songs with Blanc. The album featured Timex Burke on drums, Eric Garcia on bass and Ken Ypparila on keyboards. The album's tracks included "No Guarantees", "I Scratch", "They Didn't Offer Me You", "Just One Of Your Legs", "What Can I Do", "I Am Helpless Without My Computers", "Drops Of Water", "The Gang On Fortune Hill", and "I Don't Mind". The first single release, "No Guarantees", was accompanied by a video, shot in Amsterdam, Berlin, and Los Angeles. It was used in Michael Apted's 1984 movie Firstborn, starring Peter Weller and Teri Garr, and in episode 27, "Buddies", of the television series Miami Vice in 1985. In early 2023, the album was added to various streaming services, marking its first rerelease since 1984.

Fred de Ráfols was also an Academic at Johns Hopkins University. He now lives in Reno, Nevada and is a professor of Spanish at the University of Nevada, Reno.

Battle of Kambula

The Battle of Kambula took place on 29 March 1879, during the Anglo-Zulu War, when a Zulu military force attacked the British camp at Kambula, having routed the mounted element of the British force at the Battle of Hlobane the day before. The battle was a decisive Zulu defeat and the Zulu warriors lost their belief in victory. The war ended after the Zulu defeat at the Battle of Ulundi on 4 July 1879.

Prelude
Following the disaster at the Battle of Hlobane on 28 March 1879, the forces of Colonel Evelyn Wood prepared to receive an attack by the entire Zulu impi, of which they had encountered only the leading sections. Soon after dawn of 29 March, Transvaal Rangers rode out to locate the impi, the cattle were put out to graze and after some deliberation, two companies were despatched to collect firewood. By 11:00 a.m. the Rangers had returned with the news that the impi was on the move and was to attack Kambula at noon.

Wood also now received information that the impi was nearly 21,000 men strong, consisting of regiments that had already defeated the British at the Battle of Isandlwana and other battles. Many of the Zulus were armed with rifles taken from the British dead at these battles. Shortly after this, the Zulu impi was sighted 5 mi away across the plain, coming on due westwards in five columns. The warriors of the impi had not eaten for three days. The woodcutters and cattle were brought back in. Confident that the defences could be manned within a minute and a half of an alarm being sounded, Wood ordered the men to have their dinners.

Cetshwayo responded to pleas from the abaQulusi for aid against the raids of Wood's troops by ordering the main Zulu army to help them. He ordered it not to attack fortified positions but to lure the British troops into the open even if it had to march on the Transvaal to accomplish this but his orders were ignored. The impi moved and Wood initially thought it was advancing on the Transvaal but it halted a few miles south of Kambula and formed up for an attack.

Kambula camp
The defences on Kambula consisted of a hexagonal laager formed with wagons that were tightly locked together, and a separate kraal for the cattle, constructed on the edge of the southern face of the ridge. Trenches and earth parapets surrounded both sections and a stone redoubt had been built on a rise just north of the kraal. A palisade blocked the 100 yd between the kraal and redoubt, while four 7-pounder guns were positioned between the redoubt and the laager to cover the northern approaches. Two more guns in the redoubt covered the north-east. Two companies were placed in the redoubt; another company occupied the cattle kraal and the remaining infantry manned the laager. The gunners had been told that if the Zulus got in close they were to abandon their guns and make for the laager. Wood's force mustered 121 Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers, 1,238 infantry and 638 mounted men. With headquarters staff, it totalled 2,000 men, of whom 88 were sick in hospital.

Battle
At 12:45 p.m. on 29 March 1879, the tents were struck, reserve ammunition was distributed, and the troops took up their battle stations. As the troops moved to their posts they could see the Zulu right horn, circling north out of British artillery range before halting north-west of the camp. The left horn and centre of the impi continued westwards until they were due south of Kambula. At 1:30 p.m. Lieutenant-Colonel Redvers Henry Buller was ordered with his mounted troops, to sting the right horn into premature attack. The men rode out to within range of the massed Zulus, fired a volley and raced back, closely followed by a great wave of 11,000 Zulu warriors shouting "Don't run away Johnnie! We want to speak to you". As soon as the horsemen had reached Kambula and cleared the field of fire, the British infantry opened fire with support from their four 7-pounders firing shell, which had been firing over the heads of the horsemen and then when the Zulus got closer, engaging them with case (canister shot). A small number of Zulus managed to burst into the laager and were repelled with bayonets, while the bulk of the advance was held at bay by the steady British volley fire and artillery. Some of the Zulu force swung right to come in against the western side of the laager but were                                                                                met with equally effective volley-fire. At about 2:15 p.m. the Nkobamakosi of right horn drew back to the north-east.

As the right horn made its withdrawal, the left horn and centre comprising the Umbonambi (uMbonambi), Nokene (uNokhenke) and the Umcityu advanced towards a ravine below the redoubt, then attacked from the ravine at about 3:00 p.m. The leading warriors fell to volley fire from the 13th Light Infantry in the south face of the laager and the shrapnel and case shot from the four British guns in the laager and the two in the redoubt. More and more Zulu got into the ravine, about 100 yd from the cattle kraal. About forty Zulu riflemen climbed to the lip of the ravine and two parties took over some huts to the east and the rubbish dump to the west, about 400 yd either side of the camp. The fire of the Zulu riflemen from the three positions forced most of the infantry in the cattle kraal to retreat into the redoubt and the rest to shelter at the wagons to the rear. Zulu morale rose at the sight of the British retreat, the men in the ravine advanced on the cattle kraal, confronted only by fire from one side of the main laager and soon forced their way into the kraal, fighting hand-to-hand with men of the 1/13th Company. The cattle in the kraal hampered both sides but with Zulu pressure mounting, most of the British troops managed to extricate themselves and pull back to the redoubt, with four killed and seven wounded. Zulu riflemen were now able to open fire from behind the walls of the kraal to give covering fire for more Zulu advancing from the ravine.

At about this time the right horn came on again from the north-east, charging across the north face of the redoubt towards the guns and the eastern sides of the laager. Although attacked on both sides, Wood appreciated that to the south, 5,000 Zulu could shelter in the cattle kraal, only 50 yd away, well within charging distance. Wood ordered two companies of the 90th Light Infantry to retake the cattle kraal with a bayonet charge. Led by Major Hackett the men shifted a wagon from the north-east corner of the laager and formed line with bayonets fixed. The British charged across the open ground, forcing the Zulus back over the rim of the ravine. The troops then lined the crest and opened volley fire into the packed warriors. The counter-attack had succeeded perfectly but Hackett's men suddenly found themselves under fire from their right, when Zulu marksmen in the huts and rubbish dump on the left opened fire. Wood ordered the recall, Hackett sounded the 'Retire' and his men returned to the cover of the laager, losing a colour-sergeant, a subaltern and Hackett receiving a blinding head wound; forty-four men were killed or wounded. The Royal Artillery fought their guns in the open and poured round after round directly into the right horn and bombarded the huts with explosive shell and shrapnel to suppress the Zulu riflemen. The rubbish dump was on the other side of the laager and was struck by volley fire which stopped the Zulu reply.

During this period the Umcityu massed in dead ground beyond the ravine and another wagon was pushed aside for a company of the 13th Light Infantry to sortie but the light infantry were forced back by the Zulu. The sight of this withdrawal encouraged the Zulus in the ravine to charge again but the gap in the defences was under the guns in the redoubt and on the ridge. At close range the gunners bombarded the Zulu infantry with case shot, creating a killing zone in front of the laager. The Uncityu was repulsed but rallied as Zulu all round the perimeter attacked continuously. The Nkobamakosi, who had been firing from the rocky area they had retreated to three hours earlier, attacked the redoubt again but were defeated by volley and artillery-fire from behind the wagons and the redoubt. The Zulus charged again and again with unwavering courage but the head of each charge was shot away. More Zulu massed in the ravine but before their attack got going, two companies of the 13th Light Infantry ran to the edge of the ravine and shot down the Zulu below. At about 5:30 p.m. the Zulu survivors began to retire.

Pursuit
As soon as the Zulus began to move eastwards Woods ordered Buller to pursue the Zulu with his 600 horse. The Zulu continued to jog-trot as the horsemen, in three columns, closed up and attacked were harried mercilessly towards Zunguin Nek, mounted troops firing one handed with carbines from the saddle, using their carbines as clubs and spearing them with discarded assegais. The abaQulusi, only recently arrived, ran with the rest of the Zulu force. Captain Cecil D'Arcy of the Frontier Light Horse (FLH) told his troopers to take no prisoners and told them, "no quarter boys and remember yesterday!" referring to the action at Hlobane, where his men had suffered severely. The FLH singled out the abaQulusi, chasing them as far as Hlobane and extracting a savage revenge for their comrades killed the day before. D'Arcy recalled that they, 'butchered the brutes [Zulus] all over the place' while Buller was, 'like a tiger drunk with blood'. Following the cavalry, the British infantry and African auxiliaries combed the field killing any wounded or hiding Zulus. Around 6:30 p.m. as dusk fell, a mist rose around the Zunguin mountains, stopping the pursuit.

Analysis
Kambula was the decisive battle of the war, in four hours the British fired 138,000 rounds and 1,077 shells. The British demonstrated that shield and assegai were no match for an entrenched force with artillery and the Martini-Henry rifle. Never again would an impi fight against a prepared position with the ferocity and resolution displayed at Kambula. The Zulu commander, Mnyamana, tried to get the regiments to return to Ulundi but many warriors simply went home and resumed raiding. A few days later, 400 men lifted thirty cattle and 1,500 sheep from the farm of the late Piet Uys. The shock of the defeat contributed to a weakening of the Zulu resolve to maintain armed resistance to the British invasion. In 1995, Ron Lock wrote that Commandant Schermbrucker had written that,

"They succumbed to superior weapons and the murderous fire of big guns, but they died like brave men and good soldiers in defence of their chief country; we buried the Zulu dead with full military honours."

and that the Zulu army never recovered from the bloodbath at Kambula. At Ulundi the Zulu fought another battle but without a belief in victory and the price for the British was the defeat at Hlobane the day before Kambula. The British never acknowledged the part played by the colonial horsemen in the battle. Four days later, about 11,000 Zulu were defeated at the Battle of Gingindlovu and the siege of Eshowe was raised. At the Battle of Ulundi the Zulu charged again and were routed by volley-fire, artillery and Gatling guns.

Casualties
A total of 785 Zulu dead were counted near the camp by burial parties two days after the battle, but their total losses were significantly higher. In 1992, John Laband wrote that Zulu losses are a matter of some debate. In 2003, Ian Knight wrote "785 [bodies] were collected from close by the camp. Many more lay out on the line of retreat where the slaughter had been heaviest... Perhaps as many as 2,000 died" and Frances Colenso (1880) wrote of 1,000 dead. Some of the dead had been carried away by friends or relatives but had to be abandoned during the pursuit. Many more warriors retreating from the battle were overtaken and killed by British mounted troops and furthermore, many wounded warriors died fore they could reach home and help, the following day 157 bodies were counted along the line of retreat with reports of more in the distance. The official British estimation in the War Office narrative put the total Zulu losses of dead and wounded at "nearly 2,000". The Zulus thought that their casualties were at least as high or higher than those suffered at Isandlwana. The British suffered casualties of 18 British soldiers killed, 8 officers and 57 men wounded, 11 of whom later died. In 1995 Ron Lock wrote that the morning after the battle, an officer, James Francis, found 800 Zulu dead within an 800 yd radius of the camp and that probably another 1,500 Zulu were killed along the line of the pursuit. A pit 200 ft long and 10 ft deep was dug to bury the Zulu dead; the British suffered 83 men killed or wounded.

Finn mac Blatha

Finn, son of Blath, son of Labraid Condelg, son of Cairpre, son of Ollom Fotla, was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a High King of Ireland. He took power after he killed the previous High King, Eochu Apthach, whose disastrous year on the throne had been characterised by constant plague. He ruled for twenty, or twenty-two, or thirty years, depending on the source consulted, until he was killed by Sétna Innarraid, son of Bres Rí. The Lebor Gabála Érenn synchronises his reign with that of Darius the Great of Persia (522–485 BC). The chronology of Geoffrey Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn dates his reign to 725–705 BC, that of the Annals of the Four Masters to 952–930 BC.

Wikipedia:Peer review/Salt Lake City, Utah/archive1

Salt Lake City, Utah
There are about 4 people who regularly contribute to this article, mostly locals. I believe this is a very comprehensive article for a city of its size and it would be great to have an outside point of view to make sure we aren't leaving anything out/assuming certain knowledge. Also, a review of its companion history article, History of Salt Lake City, would be great. Thanks. [[user:JonMoore|Jon, Conqueror of Men | (Talk!)]] 20:46, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * I'd very nearly support this for featured status as is, but I've still got a few suggestions first. a) Would it be possible to move the top picture into the infobox? b) The culture, media and economy sections are very short, and need expanding. I'm not sure about Recreation and Sports - I'd like to see that section a bit longer, but the article is already quite long. c) The education section could perhaps be moved to its own article and summarised to keep the article size down, and the universities list could perhaps be in prose rather than list form. d) Would it be possible to rewrite the opening of the geography section and the demographics section in such a way that doesn't make it instantly obvious the material came from Rambot? These are all comparatively minor quibbles, though - this is one fine article. Ambi 03:45, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * I agree... the capital picture is very nice, but the infobox and the thumbnail subtracts from the layout of the article. --[[User:AllyUnion|AllyUnion (talk)]] 07:22, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * I've never lived in Salt Lake City, but growing up in southern Idaho, I've been there quite a bit, and the article describes a decent amount of what the city is like. It doesn't mention the music scene at all, which is a lot larger than you'd expect from a city its size. The picture of the bus overlaps some text, and needs to be moved down. I would like to hear more about how many churches are in the area, and a break-down of the denominations. Maybe more about the Mormon churches involvement in local politics, and what influence the LDS church has over Temple Square, and what impact it has. Celebes 04:36, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
