Talk:Luciano Berio

Electronic?
Is Luciano Berio the creator of electronic music? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.137.116.14 (talk) 12:01, 6 February 2005

 * Yes, see electronic music. Hyacinth 19:22, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Berio isn't mentioned in that article as far as I can see, and is only mentioned in a list at Electronic art music, but his electronic work is briefly touched on in this article. As well as the electronic pieces mentioned here (Visage and Thema), he wrote several others for tape alone, and some pieces for tape and conventional instruments (Laborintus II is probably the best-known example). --Camembert
 * Yes, that the internal link I meant, thanks. Hyacinth 01:20, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

It's highly contentious as to who "created" electronic music, depending on how the term "electronic music" itself is defined, and whether early electronic works are considered "experiments" or "pieces" (and therefore, "music"). Some say Karlheinz Stockhausen's Gesang der Jünglinge is the first piece, but there are also the musique concrete pieces by Pierre Schaeffer and the French. My own sense is that Berio comes into the electronic music scene a little later (Tempo Reale is built after Boulez builds IRCAM), but definitely takes it in a different direction, using some of Umberto Eco's studies into linguistics to influence how he works. There are some excellent books on the subject of early electronic music--I'd recommend Modulations: A history of electronic music, edited by Peter Shapiro.
 * Berio and Maderna started working on electronic music at the Studio di Fonologia della Rai in 1954. Of course that does not mean that they were the first to do so. But they did compose electronic pieces well before IRCAM or Tempo reale. 145.222.138.134 18:56, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

"Avant Garde Project"
This isn't the only such link from here to that site that's been made/edited- what's our policy about linking to sites that provide torrents? I don't think they're authorized, and I believe it's also possible at least that Italian copyright law is becoming more in line with that of the EU, so perhaps it might be a good idea to revert that edit from this and other pages? Schissel | Sound the Note! 06:14, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

List of Quotations
I'm writing in reference to the partial list of quotations in Berio's Sinfonia and perhaps the whole discussion of the Sinfonia. I think that it should be incorporated in a separate article about the Sinfonia and removed from the Luciano Berio article. It is much too detailed for this article.--Atavi 21:45, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

"Italian Prize"
Is this the same as the Prix Italia? I can find no mention of his name in connection with that prize, though. --  Jack of Oz    ... speak! ...   19:17, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Contributors...
Wikipedia is a better encyclopedia because this article has been featured in the "...dyk" section on the main page. It is not an easy thing to go through the review process since it takes the cooperation of a number of different editors, cooperation, and civility. I hope all those involved are encouraged to create even more notable content. Best Regards,  Bfpage |leave a message 10:54, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

Students
It seems notable that both Richter and Einaudi, and possibly other popular composers, were students of Berio. If someone agrees and knows how to correctly incorporate that, they could add it. I don't have relevant expertise. Brian Hill (talk) 18:08, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I presume you mean Max Richter, rather than Richter. He is missing from Berio's entry at List of music students by teacher: A to B, but Einaudi is found there, as well as Phil Lesh. I'm not clear on how such things are being handled, now that the long lists from many biographical articles have been moved to these separate listings. In some cases, all students have been moved, with only a redirect in the main biography, while in other cases a few of the most prominent names remain in the biography, with a redirect for the longer list. Perhaps some other editors active on this article have got an opinion about what should be done here.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 18:36, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I think it was User:Hyacinth who set up that list and the supporting templates. It seems rather complicated to me, but may be Hyacinth can comment here and explain how to extend that list. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 19:06, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, I believe you are right about the list, but it is more to do with what was left behind. Should the present article simply direct readers to the list of students, or should the most prominent ones be named here, with a redirect to the more complete list at LMST? Some articles do it one way, and others the other way. Perhaps there are reasons for this, or perhaps it is just down to the judgement of the editors working on those specific articles. I have no opinion about the present article myself, but would be interested to hear the views of other editors.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 19:58, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Wow, thanks for jumping on this. Yes, I definitely had Max Richter in mind. I have seen him mention Luciano Berio as his teacher in a couple of places. For example, http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/jan05/articles/ritcher.htm. I hadn't even noticed the extraction of the whole student lineage to its own page. Maybe somebody will just be bold enough to add Max Richter there. I have to imagine he is notable enough to make whatever cut is being applied. Brian Hill (talk) 06:22, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I should correct the impression that the list of students has been entirely moved to the LMST. There are sixteen names there and nine of them duplicated in the biographical article. I am not sure what criteria have been used to make this distinction, or indeed if any criteria have been applied at all. For example, both Ludovico Einaudi and Bernard Rands are in the List, but are not mentioned in the article which, considering some of the names found in both places, makes it unlikely that degree of notability was taken into consideration.—Jerome Kohl (talk) 00:00, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

List of NBA franchise postseason droughts

This is a list of National Basketball Association (NBA) franchise post-season appearance droughts. This list includes the all-time and the active consecutive non-playoffs. Aside from the NBA playoff appearance droughts, this list also includes droughts of series wins, appearances in the NBA Finals and NBA championship wins. The oldest such franchise is the Suns (54 seasons), while the Royals/Kings and the Hawks have even longer championship droughts (71 and 64 seasons, respectively). Five franchises have never been to the NBA Finals, tied with the National Hockey League for the highest number among the major North American sports. The oldest such team is the Braves/Clippers franchise (52 seasons); the Kings and the Hawks have appearance droughts that are even longer (71 and 61 seasons, respectively). The longest a franchise has gone without appearing in the playoffs at all is 16 seasons: the Kings franchise from 2006 to 2023.

Of the 20 franchises that have won an NBA championship, 7 have droughts of 38 seasons or more, which is to say that the past 40 championships have been shared among only 13 franchises: the Lakers (9), Bulls (6), Spurs (5), Warriors (4), Pistons (3), Celtics (3), Heat (3), Rockets (2), Mavericks (1), Cavaliers (1), Raptors (1), Bucks (1), and Nuggets (1). By contrast, the other three major North American sports have each had at least 18 franchises become champions over the same period of time.

Michael Winterbottom

Michael Winterbottom (born 29 March 1961) is an English film director. He began his career working in British television before moving into features. Three of his films—Welcome to Sarajevo, Wonderland and 24 Hour Party People—have competed for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. He and co-director Mat Whitecross won the Silver Bear for Best Director at the 56th Berlin International Film Festival for their work on The Road to Guantanamo.

His production company, Revolution Films, has a first look deal with Fremantle.

Early life
Winterbottom was born in Blackburn, Lancashire. He went to Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School, Blackburn, and then studied English at Balliol College, Oxford, before going to film school at Bristol University, where his contemporaries included Marc Evans.

Early television career
Winterbottom's television directing career began in 1989, with a documentary about Ingmar Bergman and an episode of the children's series Dramarama. He followed this with the 1990 television film Forget About Me, starring Ewen Bremner, which followed two British soldiers who become involved in a love triangle with a young Hungarian hitch-hiker on their way to Budapest for a Simple Minds concert. It was his first collaboration with writer Frank Cottrell-Boyce. They would go on to make six more films together. Shot on 16mm film, it played a few European film festivals. In 1991, he directed episodes of various British TV shows, including the four-part children's series Time Riders and an episode of Boon. In 1992, he directed the television film Under the Sun about a young British woman traveling in Greece, starring Kate Hardie. It was shot on Super 16 film and gained him further attention. In 1993, he directed an episode of the Inspector Alleyn Mysteries; Love Lies Bleeding, a television film written by Ronan Bennett about a convicted IRA member on a 24-hour home leave from prison in Belfast; and The Mad Woman in the Attic, the pilot of Jimmy McGovern's mystery series Cracker. He next directed the 1994 mini-series Family, written by Roddy Doyle, the author of The Commitments. It was a huge success in Ireland and led to a vocal debate there about the depiction of both the working classes and spousal abuse in the media. His final early television project was a 1995 episode of the documentary series Cinema Europe: The Other Hollywood, focusing on Scandinavian silent cinema.

Butterfly Kiss (1995)
Winterbottom's debut feature followed a mentally unbalanced lesbian serial killer and her submissive lover/accomplice as they fall in love while slaughtering their way across the motorways of Northern England. It found only a limited release.

Go Now (1995)
That same year, he reunited with Jimmy McGovern for the BBC television film Go Now, the story of a young man who falls ill with multiple sclerosis just as he meets the love of his life. Focusing on the turmoil this causes the couple, the film was given a theatrical release in many countries, including the United States. It was also the first film from Winterbottom's company Revolution Films.

Jude (1996)
Winterbottom next adapted his favourite novel, Thomas Hardy's bleak classic Jude the Obscure, a tale of forbidden love between two cousins, starring Christopher Eccleston and Kate Winslet. The film brought Winterbottom wider recognition, his first screening at Cannes and numerous Hollywood offers.

Welcome to Sarajevo (1997)
Welcome to Sarajevo was filmed on location in the titular city, mere months after the Siege of Sarajevo had ended. It was based on the true story of British reporter, Michael Nicholson, who spirited a young orphan girl out of the war zone to safety in Britain.

I Want You (1998)
I Want You is a neo-noir sex thriller set in a decaying British seaside resort town. Starring Rachel Weisz and Alessandro Nivola, it was inspired by the Elvis Costello song of the same name and shot by Polish cinematographer Sławomir Idziak, who won an Honourable Mention award at the 48th Berlin International Film Festival for his work.

With or Without You (1999)
With or Without You, starring Christopher Eccleston, is a Belfast-set comedy about a couple trying desperately to conceive, who each have past loves re-enter their lives.

Wonderland (1999)
Wonderland marked a shift in style for Winterbottom. Its handheld photography and naturalistic dialogue drew comparisons to Robert Altman. Starring Gina McKee, Shirley Henderson, Molly Parker, John Simm, Ian Hart and Stuart Townsend, it is the story of three sisters and their extended family over Guy Fawkes Day weekend in London. It featured an orchestral score by minimalist composer Michael Nyman, who would become a frequent collaborator with Winterbottom.

The Claim (2000)
Winterbottom's biggest-budgeted film up to that point, at $20 million, The Claim was an adaptation of Thomas Hardy's The Mayor of Casterbridge set in 1860s California. Shot in the wilds of Canada, it was not a financial success and proved an ordeal to make, with Winterbottom himself getting frostbite. Many of the production difficulties, including unsuccessful attempts to cast Madonna, were explained to the public on the film's unusually frank official website.

24 Hour Party People (2001)
24 Hour Party People documents the anarchic, drug and sex-fueled rise and fall of Factory Records and the music scene in Manchester from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s. It would be the first of many collaborations between Winterbottom and actor Steve Coogan, who starred as broadcaster/music-mogul Tony Wilson.

In This World (2002)
In This World depicts the journey of two Afghan refugees from Pakistan, across the Middle East and Europe to Britain, which they try to enter with the help of people smugglers. Shot on digital video at a cost of $2 million, it featured non-professional actors and brought Winterbottom numerous awards, including a Golden Bear and a BAFTA for best film not in the English language.

Code 46 (2003)
Code 46 is a sci-fi retelling of the Oedipus myth, in a world where cloning has created people so interrelated that strict laws (the Code 46 of the title) govern human reproduction. The romantic mystery film starred Tim Robbins and Samantha Morton. It was shot in Shanghai, Dubai and Rajasthan, which were mixed to create a futuristic multi-ethnic culture.

9 Songs (2004)
9 Songs gained attention as the most sexually explicit film ever to receive a certificate for general release in the UK. It charts a year-long relationship between two lovers, almost exclusively through their sexual interaction and various rock concerts the couple attend. The film became notorious in the UK for its candid scenes of unsimulated sex between the leads, Kieran O'Brien and Margo Stilley.

A Cock and Bull Story (2005)
A Cock and Bull Story, released in the United States and Australia as Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story, is an adaptation of the famously "unfilmable" The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman, one of the earliest novels. The film is a faux documentary about the making of a film of Tristram Shandy. Steve Coogan stars as himself and as Shandy. The film marked the end of Winterbottom's lengthy collaboration with Frank Cottrell Boyce, who chose to be credited under the pseudonym Martin Hardy.

The Road to Guantanamo (2006)
The Road to Guantanamo is a docu-drama about the "Tipton Three", three British Muslims captured by US forces in Afghanistan who spent two years as prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp as alleged enemy combatants. It was shot in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran (which doubled for Cuba) in the autumn of 2005. It premiered at the Berlinale on 14 February 2006. It debuted in the UK on television, on 9 March, as it was co-financed by Channel 4.

A Mighty Heart (2007)
A Mighty Heart is based on the book by Mariane Pearl, wife of murdered journalist Daniel Pearl. The film stars Angelina Jolie and focuses on the pregnant Mariane's search for her missing husband in Pakistan in 2002. Produced by Jolie's then-partner Brad Pitt, it was shot in the autumn of 2006 in India, Pakistan and France and premiered out of competition at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival on 21 May 2007.

Genova (2008)
Genova is a family drama about an Englishman, played by Colin Firth, who moves his two American daughters to Italy following the death of his wife. Once there, the oldest girl starts exploring her sexuality, while the younger girl begins to see the ghost of her mother. It co-stars Catherine Keener and Hope Davis and was filmed in the titular city of Genoa, Italy, during the summer of 2007.

The Shock Doctrine (2009)
Winterbottom was reunited with his The Road to Guantanamo co-director Mat Whitecross on a documentary based on Naomi Klein's bestselling book The Shock Doctrine. The film follows the use of upheavals and disasters by various governments as a cover for the implementation of free market economic policies that benefit only an elite few. Klein at first disowned the film after learning that it would be composed almost entirely of period footage and narration, with virtually no interview material with sources. The film premiered at the 2009 Berlin Film Festival and aired in the UK on Channel 4's More4 documentary channel on 1 September 2009. It made its American premiere at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, alongside Winterbottom's following film. At the festival, Klein, who had reconciled herself with the filmmakers' approach, participated in a Q&A with Winterbottom and Whitecross.

The Killer Inside Me (2010)
Winterbottom's film of Jim Thompson's 1952 noir novel, starring Casey Affleck, Kate Hudson and Jessica Alba is a period film which follows a small town Texas sheriff (Affleck), who is also a psychotic killer, through his descent into complete madness. It premiered at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival and caused controversy for the realistic brutality of its violence toward women. In his defence, Winterbottom said, "It's not the real world. It's kind of a parallel version of the real world... I was taken in by that world."

The Trip (2010)
This improvised six-episode comedy series, filmed in the English Lake District and written and directed by Winterbottom, starred Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon as the same semi-fictionalized versions of themselves they played in A Cock and Bull Story. Coogan, an actor unhappy with his career, agrees to write a series of restaurant reviews for The Observer in order to impress his girlfriend Misha (Margo Stilley). As the series opens, she has dumped him and he invites Brydon to take her place on the holiday. Each episode of the series takes place largely over a different gourmet meal. The episodes were edited down into a feature film for the US market, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2010, while the full series aired on BBC Two starting in November 2010.

Trishna (2011)
Winterbottom's modern retelling of Tess of the d'Urbervilles is his third Thomas Hardy film. It stars Riz Ahmed and Freida Pinto and was shot in Jaipur and Mumbai, India in early 2011. It premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on 9 September 2011. It was released in the UK on 9 March 2012 and in the US on 13 July.

Everyday (2012)
Known during its lengthy production first as Seven Days and then as Here and There, the film stars John Simm as a man imprisoned for drug-smuggling and charts his relationship with his wife, played by Shirley Henderson. Written by Winterbottom and Laurence Coriat, the film was shot a few weeks at a time over a five-year period from 2007 to 2012 to reflect the protagonist's time in prison and achieve an authentic aging process. Everyday premiered at the Telluride Film Festival on 3 September 2012, and then screened at the Toronto International Film Festival on 8 September 2012. The film was produced by Britain's Channel 4 and premiered in the UK on television on 15 November 2012, before being theatrically on 18 January 2013. At the Stockholm International Film Festival in November, the film won the FIPRESCI Prize.

The Look of Love (2013)
The Look of Love, originally announced as The King of Soho, until that title had to be dropped due to a legal dispute, is a biography of famed British pornographer/strip club owner/real estate entrepreneur Paul Raymond which reteamed Winterbottom with Steve Coogan, who played Raymond. The film costarred Imogen Poots, Anna Friel and Tamsin Egerton and was written by Matt Greenhalgh. It was released in the UK on 26 April 2013.

The Trip To Italy (2014)
Winterbottom filmed a second series of the hit BBC show The Trip To Italy in the summer of 2013 in Italy. It followed the route of the Romantics – Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron and John Keats. Like the first series, IFC Films distributed it in the US as a shorter feature-length film, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2014. The full series aired on BBC Two in April 2014.

The Emperor's New Clothes (2015)
Hosted by comedian Russell Brand, this documentary looks at the financial crisis of 2007–2008 and global economic inequality. It premiered in London on 21 April 2015, followed by its international premiere on 24 April 2015 at the Tribeca Film Festival.

On the Road (2016)
The film follows the British band Wolf Alice, focusing on two fictional members of the band's crew, played by Leah Harvey and James McArdle, while the band is on tour. It premiered on 9 October 2016 at the BFI London Film Festival.

The Trip to Spain (2017)
Winterbottom reunited with Coogan and Brydon for a third six-episode series in which the duo travel through Spain. As with the previous instalments, it premiered on 6 April 2017 as a 6-part weekly TV series on Sky Atlantic, and as a shorter feature film on 22 April 2017 at the Tribeca Film Festival. The film was released in the US on 11 August 2017.

The Wedding Guest (2018)
This thriller starred Dev Patel as a mysterious young British Muslim man who travels to Pakistan to kidnap a young woman (Radhika Apte) on the eve of her arranged marriage. It was filmed in Jaipur, India and other locations in Rajasthan beginning in February 2018 and premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on 8 September 2018.

Greed (2019)
Greed is a comedy satirizing the lives of the ultra-rich, starring Steve Coogan as a fictional retail fashion magnate, Isla Fisher as his wife, and David Mitchell as a journalist hired to write the billionaire's life story. The film is set at the billionaire's disastrous 60th birthday party on Mykonos, and explores the divide between the character's wealth and the abject poverty of the workers who produce his products. The project was previously set to star Sacha Baron Cohen. Winterbottom completed photography in December 2018. The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on 7 September 2019.

The Trip to Greece (2020)
Coogan and Brydon reunited with Winterbottom for a fourth series of their popular programme, set in Greece. It premiered on 3 March 2020 as a 6-part weekly TV series on SkyOne. It was again edited down into a feature film in the US, whose planned theatrical release by IFC Films in summer 2020 was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It premiered with a digital and on demand release on 22 May 2020.

Isolation (2021)
This documentary feature, originally announced under the title Europe C-19, contains five 15-minute segments from directors across Europe, with Winterbottom handling the UK portion. Winterbottom began filming his portion of this film on 5 September 2020. The other portions were directed by Julia von Heinz (Germany), Fernando León de Aranoa (Spain), Jaco Van Dormael (Belgium), and Michele Placido (Italy). The film premiered in September 2021 at the 78th Venice International Film Festival.

Eleven Days in May (2022)
Winterbottom co-directed the 2022 documentary Eleven Days in May, which focused on the deaths of over 60 Palestinian children killed during the Israeli bombing of Gaza over an eleven day period in May 2021. Gaza-based film-maker Mohammed Sawwaf was the other director and Kate Winslet provided the narration. It was released in the UK on 6 May 2022.

This England (2022)
This 6-part TV miniseries focuses on Boris Johnson's leadership of Britain, starting with his appointment as prime minister and continuing through the COVID-19 pandemic, when Johnson caught the virus and became critically ill, while his partner gave birth to their son, and Britain suffered among the worst death tolls in the world. Kenneth Branagh stars as Johnson, with Ophelia Lovibond as Carrie Symonds and Simon Paisley Day as Dominic Cummings. Originally titled This Sceptred Isle, Winterbottom was set to direct every episode of the miniseries, which he co-wrote with Kieron Quirke. However, after filming began in February 2021, Winterbottom stepped down from directing in March, reportedly due to health issues. The miniseries was broadcast on Sky on 28 September 2022.

Shoshana (2023)
Winterbottom's political thriller Shoshana, previously titled Promised Land, had its world premiere at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival. It is set in 1930s/1940s British Mandatory Palestine and stars Douglas Booth as Tom Wilkin and Harry Melling as Geoffrey J. Morton, two British police officers hunting Zionist militant Avraham Stern. It co-stars Irina Starshenbaum as Shoshana Borochov. The screenplay was written by Winterbottom, Laurence Coriat and Paul Viragh. Winterbottom has been developing the film for many years. In 2010, Jim Sturgess, Colin Firth and Matthew Macfadyen were announced as its stars. While the film never entered production in 2010, Winterbottom did shoot documentary footage in Israel at the time with surviving participants in the events. Filming began in October 2021 in the town of Ostuni in Italy, which doubled for Tel Aviv.

A Farewell to Arms
In December 2023, it was announced that Winterbottom will direct a new adaptation of Ernest Hemingway's classic novel A Farewell to Arms, starring Tom Blyth and Olivia Cooke.

Fall of the God of Cars
In March 2023, it was announced that Winterbottom will write and direct Fall of the God of Cars, a 6-part miniseries in which Tony Shalhoub is set to play Lebanese/Brazilian auto executive Carlos Ghosn, who was arrested in Japan, eventually escaping house arrest and fleeing the country and prosecution.

Unmade projects
In 2017, it was announced that Winterbottom was developing a 10-part TV series with Annapurna Pictures about the war in Syria, focusing on the involvement of foreign journalists and Non-governmental organizations. He first announced in May 2017 that he was researching the project.

In May 2014, it was announced that Winterbottom would direct a feature adaptation of Richard Hammer's 1982 book The Vatican Connection, the true story of how NYPD detective Joe Coffey uncovered connections between the Vatican and the Mafia while investigating a local New York mobster, leading to a global investigation. It was to be written by Paul Viragh, based on an earlier script by Alessandro Camon.

In October 2011, it was announced that Winterbottom would direct an adaption of Richard DiLello's 1973 book, The Longest Cocktail Party. It was to tell the story of Apple Corps, the record company formed by The Beatles in 1968. It was to follow the company and its staff, including DiLello and Derek Taylor, from 1968 to its closure in 1970, when The Beatles split. The book was set to be adapted by Jesse Armstrong and co-produced by Andrew Eaton and Liam Gallagher.

Winterbottom was attached in May 2011 to direct Bailout, an adaptation of author Jess Walter's novel The Financial Lives of the Poets, which Walter adapted for the screen. Set to star Jack Black, the film was to follow a man who loses his job and must keep his family afloat by working as a pot dealer.

Books
In 2021, Winterbottom published Dark Matter: Independent Filmmaking in the 21st Century, a book about the workings of the British independent film industry. It is based on his own experience over his career, and includes interviews with 15 other major British directors: Paweł Pawlikowski, Danny Boyle, Joanna Hogg, Asif Kapadia, James Marsh, Andrew Haigh, Carol Morley, Edgar Wright, Steve McQueen, Lynne Ramsay, Stephen Daldry, Ben Wheatley, Peter Strickland, Mike Leigh and Ken Loach.

Personal life
Winterbottom has two daughters and a son.

Winterbottom is an atheist.

Talk:Saint George's Day

Scout hymn?
The scout hymn? I was a scout for many years, a beaver and cub too, and have never heard of the scout hymn. Grunners 15:32, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * No all we sang as scouts was either Kum Ba Ya or Ging Gang Goolie, but apprently there is one:, -- Francs2000 | talk  15:43, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Merge vote of Đurđevdan to St George's Day
I dont think the article should be merged with St. Georges Day, because it is not only the name of the Serbian St. George Day but also a Roma holiday with the same name (with no connection with St. Georges day, accept the date) and a song from the band Bijelo Dugme. Sveti Djordje in Serbia is also NOT a patron saint. Although I think, Djurdjevdan could be mentioned on the St. George Day article. But Djurdjevdan article should remain. Litany
 * Oppose a merging. (see explanation above) Litany 18:49, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Support merge: they are the same thing. --Mais oui! 19:23, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
 * It is not in total the same thing. Romas also use the word Djurdjevdan, with their own word Ederlazi. Djurdjevdan is far more known then Ederlazi. Why should not the article remain? Litany 18:02, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I also have to add that the Gorani, ethnic Slavs of Muslim faith, celebrates Djurdjevdan. They've kept a few Christian traditions although they are Muslims and that is what I have added to the Djurdjevdan article. All this is not mentionable here on St. George's Day - Litany 18:35, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Oppose Different Cultural event, celebrated differently, by a different people, The English. No need to merge. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.231.166.144 (talk • contribs) 02:00, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Support - Djurdjevdan literally means "GEORGE'S DAY", celebrated on April 23 (Julian Calendar). Djurdjevdan is St George's Day the same as Mitrovdan is St Demetrius Day. 149.135.41.194 06:29, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

But I thought it important to mention in the article that it soon might become a bank holiday? Seraphim Whipp 12:08, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Surely there are too many Bank Holidays in April/May anyhow? They're like London busses! 86.41.130.184 13:22, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

National flag
It's a sad, if accurate, relection on the tribal divides inherent in English society, that because the national flag is associated with sports fans, people who are disinterested in sport do not want to identify with it. 86.41.130.184 13:33, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

I think people are more hesitant to fly the flag because of its associations with the National Front and the BNP than sports. 150.204.153.85 08:40, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

 * It is sad. What's even sadder is that, when England and the English are concerned, the media seem to confuse national pride with racism.

 * It's also interesting that Google happily changes their logo to a shamrock covered green one on St. Patrick's Day, and yet today... nothing! -- JediLofty User 16:31, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

 * This article needs an image of St George's flag, happens to be the flag of England. I don't live in England and so don't associate it with sports fans or anyone else. It is what it is and this is an encyclopedia.--Brenont 03:47, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

 * England is a country. The English are a nation.  And the English nation's national day is St George's Day, and their national flag is the Cross of St George.  Were you perhaps confusing nation with nation-state?  Binabik80 (talk) 01:57, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Also celebrated in Macedonia, Republic of
St. George's Day is also a very well known and celebrated day in the Republic of Macedonia, that was added and should be noted as such. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.87.56.76 (talk) 04:48, 6 May 2007 (UTC).

Literature reference
I have recently begun to read Bram Stoker's Dracula. In this book it is mentioned that St. George's Day gives full sway to evil things (as is said in the literature reference section). THis is actually the reason I first looked up the day. However, I find that no explanation here of the day represents that which the book does, what might be the reason for this? Please if you have responses e-mail them to me, thank you. 141.219.231.9 02:56, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

How is it that the word "dragon" does not appear in this article, yet two of the images depict St George killing one? 86.135.97.251 (talk) 06:01, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Agree A year on, I second this! St. George and Dragon-slaying go hand in hand. Does anyone have any reference material on the topic? Jddriessen (talk) 07:26, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes indeed. The whole imagery of Saint George & the dragon portrays England as the valiant Christian warrior triumphing over the nasty heathen foreigner. This is why it was adopted as a national emblem during the crusades, & remained a powerful symbol during the Reformation, the British Empire and the country's many wars down through the centuries, right up to the Second World War. However, it is the kind of imagery we should now be distancing ourselves from, especially in light of the UK's involvement in the 'War on Terror' & the kind of racial/cultural tensions this is causing at home & abroad. 81.157.4.229 (talk) 18:54, 23 April 2008 (UCT)

Despite this, we can't ignore its existence because it's now considered distasteful by some. You could say that Easter and the killing of Jesus are racist and distasteful by the same criteria. Jddriessen (talk) 07:29, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

I think this should be mentioned in the article but i'm not sure of the wording

 * http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/the-big-question-who-was-st-george-and-why-is-celebrating-him-so-contentious-1672583.html

I would suggest something like...

In England, St George and the English flag are sometimes associated with extreem right wing political views and sporting violence, there is a conflict between celebrating english culture and risking offending a multicultural society.

Please feel free to edit this into the article --Davelane (talk) 11:52, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

 * But of course if you are going to edit it into the article (and why the original contributor couldn't be bothered to do so himself is beyond me) then please ensure you spell "extreme" correctly, and capitalise "English". While you're pondering that, perhaps you could also check your sources and provide references for your non NPOV statement "sometimes" - when? "associated with" - in what way and by whom?  "there is a conflict" - according to whom?  This isn't encyclopedic, it's just namby-pamby PC-ism. 109.94.137.1 (talk) 08:04, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Removed inaccurate mention of Independent article
I deleted the following, because the linked article does not condemn St George's Day celebrations (it welcomes a celebration of multicultural-England) ..does not call it too Anglo-Saxon. It suggests that the English are wrong to Anglo-Saxonise a Middle Eastern well respected across Southern Europe and Western Asia ..does not make demands, but recommends displaying different qualities of England in the celebrations.

Since whether to celebrate St George's day is a contentious topic in the UK, this misrepresentative stand-alone sentence seems to be a right-wing straw man rather than a useful addition to the encyclopedia.

In 2007, Independent writer Yasmin Alibhai-Brown condemned St. George’s Day celebrations for being too Anglo-Saxon and demanded that the day should celebrate the multicultural aspects of England today. MickO'Bants (talk) 22:00, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

St Georges day is a part of english culture and therefore should be celebrated. Nk70 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.151.194.248 (talk) 20:53, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

El Día de Llibre?
In the artlicle under "St. George's day in Catalonia," it says the day is also called "el día del llibre (Day of the Book)." Thing is, I'm pretty sure "llibre" isn't a word in Spanish. If it's a Catalan word, the phrase here is mixing Catalan and Spanish. I'm going to change "llibre" to "libro" which means book in Spanish. 68.94.195.205 (talk) 17:25, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Someone has already reverted this, apparently correctly. See, for example, this Catalonian article, where the title uses 'diada' but the text uses 'dia'. Matruman (talk) 08:01, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

Greek Orthodox Church
Given that the Greek Orthodox Church of Constantinople was the basis of all Christianity before the Catholics divided the Christian Church(schism), do you think maybe they should be included as an Orthodox Church (after all they were the original Christian Church). Don't you think all the George's of Greek origin celebrate this day, particularly as Greeks hold holy Christian name days in higher regard than their birthdays? Please correct your historical negligence.

Thanks,

George Theodore —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.168.128.33 (talk) 04:06, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

George, I think that this isn't really what Wikipedia is for: we need to keep a neutral point of view. A Catholic, Protestant or Russian Orthodox person would probably disagree with you. All Wikipedia can do in these cases is to document the differing views and the reasons for them: Wikipedia isn't there to decide debates that have gone on for years.

If you think that this article could be improved so it tells us more about the wonderful celebrations that go on in Greece on and around St George's Day, that's great: please do contribute. You'll need to make sure that your contributions are verifiable, and follow other Wikipedia conventions, but I'm sure you could do this and I'd be very pleased to see your valuable contribution.

Parsonscat (talk) 07:11, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

The main article says "In Greece, Saint George's Day is celebrated on 23 April, unless this is Easter Sunday (when it is celebrated on the first Monday after Easter Sunday)." This does not hold true for 2016, when St George's Day was on 2 May (the first Monday after Easter Sunday) even though 23 April was not Easter Sunday. I'm confused about the exact rule. Can someone who knows please correct the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.198.20.255 (talk) 10:22, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Removed sentence
Under England:

"In recent years people have opposed the celebration of St George's Day on the grounds that it attracts racist thugs and encourages nationalism."

I have removed this statement, because it is essentially a weasel sentence. It doesn't state who thinks that and a quick search on Google provides no evidence of 'racist thugs' and St Georges Day. The only evidence I could find was that a Bradford council cancelled a St Georges Day festival because they thought it might encourage race-riots, no evidence that it does do these things, quite the reverse. White43 (talk) 11:31, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

St. George's Day in Turkic world ?
Turks celebrate a day which is called Hıdırellez at exactly same time with St. George's Day. Same day is celebrated by Balkan Peoples ( named ederlezi ). St. George's Day and Hıdırellez (or Ederlezi) are maybe related. Is there somebody to explain that? Thanks... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.246.160.128 (talk) 17:08, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

I don't know and can only speculate, however I've got a reasonable guess. Sometimes when a country changes its religion, the new religion finds a way to 'adopt' popular holidays. Pagans often complain that Christians have taken over all their festivals, for example! Perhaps St George's Day was celebrated in the days of the Byzantine Empire, and when that fell to the Turks, the new Muslim authorities found a way to keep having a popular celebration?

This is just speculation - but perhaps it will lead someone to uncover some interesting verifiable facts?

Parsonscat (talk) 07:20, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Modern English Celebrations
With regard to modern St George's Day celebrations in England, the article states:

Another custom is to fly or adorn the St George's Cross flag in some way: pubs in particular can be seen on 23 April festooned with garlands of St George's crosses. It is customary for the hymn "Jerusalem" to be sung in cathedrals, churches and chapels on St George's Day, or on the Sunday closest to it. Traditional English foods and drink (e.g. afternoon tea) may be consumed.

While traditionalists may go to church and have afternoon tea, most English people are far more likely to enjoy a promotional pint of real ale in their local flag-festooned pub. Regardless of the church's official date of St George's Day, real ale promotions are centred around 23rd April.

These promotions have become so commonplace that CAMRA members talk of linking "Real Ale" with St George's Day as Guiness have done with St Patrick's Day. This isn't a new thing as the London Evening Standard found widespread support for the idea back in 2003.

Please could someone edit the article to make the modern celebrations sound a bit more realistic? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Griklot (talk • contribs) 00:06, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Being able to learn about cultural aspects such as how St George's Day is celebrated across the world is always very interesting and useful for ESL learners and teachers. --Mjesusm (talk) 09:38, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Inaccuracy in Celebrations
In the fifth paragraph of the "Celebrations" headline there is a slight error with the phrase " Catalan as La Diada de Sant Jordi and it is traditional to give a rose and a book to a loved one." Actually only women get roses and men only get books. Also it is quite common for catalan Women to give books to their male friends as well I have also witnessed Guys giving roses to their female friends (classmates & coworkers) as well, but this is not as common as the books.

Đurđevdan and Yuri's day
Until yesterday Yuri's Day stated: "Yuri's Day ... is the Russian name for either of the two feasts of Saint George celebrated by the Russian Orthodox Church." The lead for Đurđevdan has "... "George's day" in Serbian, Gergyovden "George's day" in Bulgarian, Jurjevo "George's" in Croatian and Bosnian or Gjurgjuvden (Ѓурѓовден) in Macedonian, Yuri's day of spring in Russia is ... celebrated on April 23 by the Julian calendar (May 6 by Gregorian calendar)..." Later on the same page under Eastern Slavs we have: "Yuri's day of spring (Russian: Юрьев день, Егорий Вешний, Yuriev Den, Egoriy Veshniy) is the Russian name for either of the two feasts of Saint George celebrated by the Russian Orthodox Church." I am not a Russian speaker, but "Yuriev Den" looks closer to "Yuri's day" than it does to "Đurđevdan". The paragraph ends: "One of the Russian forms of the name George being Yuri, the two feasts are popularly known as Vesenniy Yuriev Den (Yuri's Day in the Spring) and Osenniy Yuriev Den (Yuri's Day in the Autumn)" . So yes, I did check very carefully the dates. If you would care to knock both Đurđevdan and Yuri's Day into shape (preferably with English language sources) it would greatly assist English speakers. As things stand at the moment the three rely on uncited assertions. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 13:05, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

Replacing St George
The following places too much weight on one county (Suffolk) of England and their POV. All the working sources are BBC sources from Suffolk talking about replacing St. George with St. Edmund which has close ties to the area. Until I read this article I was unaware of any national campaigns to replace St. George.

''There have also been calls to replace St. George as patron saint of England on the grounds that he was an obscure figure who had no direct connection with the country. However, there is no obvious consensus as to whom to replace him with, though names suggested include Edmund the Martyr, Cuthbert of Lindisfarne, or Saint Alban, with the last having topped a BBC Radio 4 poll on the subject. Recently there have been calls to reinstate St Edmund as the patron Saint of England as he was displaced by George some 400 years ago.''

However, I am unsure how this could be amended to reflect the limited nature, or whether to just remove the below from the article. --White&BlueWasp (talk) 11:20, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

 * There's also potentially an issue here as to whether this belongs in this article, or whether it should go in another article: the campaigns are about St. George as patron saint, not about the St. George's Day in particular. The Parson's Cat (talk) 08:38, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Thomas Claiborne (1749–1812)

Thomas Claiborne (February 1, 1749 – 1812) was a planter and politician from Brunswick County, Virginia, who represented Virginia in the United States House of Representatives from 1793 to 1799 and from 1801 to 1805.

Biography
Claiborne was born in 1749 in Brunswick County in the Colony of Virginia, the son of Colonel Augustine and Mary (Herbert) Claiborne. He was the fifth generation of his family in America, descended from William Claiborne who had settled in Virginia in 1621. He is the father of John Claiborne and Thomas Claiborne (1780–1856), uncle of Nathaniel Herbert Claiborne and William Charles Cole Claiborne, granduncle of John Francis Hamtramck Claiborne, and great-great-great-great-granduncle of Corinne Claiborne Boggs. He owned slaves.

Claiborne was a member of the State house of delegates (1783–1788), served as colonel in command of the Brunswick County Militia in 1789, sheriff of Brunswick County (1789–1792), and a member of the state senate (1790–1792). He was elected to the Third Congress and reelected as a Republican to the Fourth and Fifth Congresses. His bid for reelection in 1798 was unsuccessful, but he was again elected as a Republican to the Seventh and Eighth Congresses. He died on his estate in Brunswick County in 1812.

He was the father of United States Congressman Thomas Claiborne (1780–1856).

Notice: intention to split Unreal Engine to multiple articles.
There is a discussion ongoing to split this article into one article for each engine. Please see this discussion in WikiProject Video games and give your input there (or here).

The drafts for these articles can be found here:

Draft:Unreal Engine 1 Draft:Unreal Engine 2 Draft:Unreal Engine 3 Draft:Unreal Engine 4 Draft:Unreal Engine 5

UE1: added one extra section on licensing. 995 words

UE2: added section on dx8 and GPU support, multiplatform. ~450-> 678 words.

UE3: Added a lot of info mainly about multithreading and DX9 ~450->752 words.

UE4: Added section about PBR materials and the new UI toolkit. 851->1,087 words

UE5: Added more detail to Nanite automatic LoD and Lumen's tradeoffs.

And here is the draft for the main article: Draft:Unreal Engine 4,569-> 1,433 words

 * I made the switch. If you are going to revert these changes, please consider leaving a comment here first. There is a lot of additional detail I added in the new articles and if you do a simple revert it will be lost. Also, the state of the article before the change was not B quality in my opnion. Note the following from WP:Article size:
 * "An article longer than one or two pages when printed should be divided into sections to ease navigation (see Manual of Style and Layout for guidance). For most long articles, division into sections is natural anyway. Readers of the mobile version of Wikipedia can be helped by ensuring that sections are not so long or so numerous as to impede navigation."
 * The history page before the split was 8 pages long (using the print tool on the page). Note that mobile readers cannot jump to subsections. Also note that UE5 was about 2 pages on it's own. See my other rationals in the wikiproject discussion. J2UDY7r00CRjH (talk) 20:10, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Please make sure to include an attribution template for each split using something like the Copied template. Also since most of the images were non free, make sure the correct new article is properly identified on each image's rational on its file page. M asem (t) 20:15, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Does that go in the talk page or the main article? The documentation is unclear to me J2UDY7r00CRjH (talk) 20:20, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I put it in the talk page and added a discussion to clarify the documentation here: Template_talk:Copied J2UDY7r00CRjH (talk) 20:34, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Should be in the talk page header section. There looks like there is one there on this page for a 2012 move. Make sure you include one on this page for each of the five splits as well as the talk page if each new article. — M asem (t) 20:36, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Citizens' Assembly on Electoral Reform (Ontario)

The Citizens' Assembly on Electoral Reform was established by the government of the province of Ontario, Canada, in March 2006. Modelled on the British Columbia equivalent, it reviewed the first past the post electoral system currently in use to elect members of the Ontario Legislature, with the authority to recommend an alternative. In May 2007, the assembly recommended, in a decision of 94 to 8, that Ontario adopt a form of mixed member proportional representation (MMP).

Report of the Select Committee on Electoral Reform
The mandate of the assembly was created by the Report of the Select Committee on Electoral Reform of the Ontario legislature. It was made up of members of Provincial Parliament (MPPs) from the Liberal, Progressive Conservative and New Democratic parties. The committee studied electoral systems and issued a report to the Ontario Legislature in November 2005. It recommended the assembly be provided the latitude necessary to recommend whatever electoral system is consistent with Ontario's (and Canada's) constitution. It assessed several alternatives.

Selection
Similar to the British Columbia equivalent, the Ontario assembly was composed of 103 randomly selected citizens, one from each Ontario constituency. As well, the selection process controlled for the age distribution of the province. The selection process for the Ontario Citizens' Assembly began in April 2006 and was completed in June 2006.

Prospective members of the assembly were selected at random by Elections Ontario from the Permanent Register of Electors of Ontario. Every registered voter was eligible with the exception of elected officials. Citizens that received an invitation letter were asked if they would be interested in placing their name in the draw. Of the approximately 12,000 respondents, about 1,200 were invited to attend selection meetings across the province.

At each selection meeting, candidates decided whether to put their names into a ballot box from which one member and two alternates were selected. Ultimately, 52 of the members of the assembly were female and 51 were male. At least one member of the assembly was Aboriginal.

Process
Under chairperson George Thomson, the independent body of citizens met twice a month from September 9, 2006 (six weekends in the third quarter of 2006 and six from February 17 to April 29) to examine the current electoral system. Queen's University Associate Professor of Political Science, Jonathan Rose, led the assembly in the Learning Phase in the fall of 2006. The assembly also held public meetings across the province between November and January under the direction of Susan Pigott. After learning and consultation, they spent an additional six weekends deliberating on options and whether or not to change the current system.

The assembly's work ended with the submission of their final report due on May 15, 2007, recommending a mixed member proportional system similar to that used in New Zealand.

As a result of their recommendation, Ontario voters considered changing their electoral system in an electoral reform referendum held on October 10, 2007, concurrent with the 2007 Ontario general election. The question was, "Which electoral system should Ontario use to elect members to the provincial legislature?" with the options being MMP or first-past-the-post. The referendum result was binding if passed by 60 percent of the vote overall, and by 50 percent of the vote in each of at least 60 percent, or 64, of the 107 electoral districts. This threshold was decided by the Ontario cabinet, despite the recommendation of the Select Committee that it require only 50 percent support in two-thirds, or 71, of the 107 ridings.

Students' Assembly
To complement the work on the assembly, the provincial government provided financial support for the Students' Assembly on Electoral Reform. Composed of secondary students from across Ontario, it also concluded that Ontario should switch to the MMP (mixed member proportional) system. These findings were presented to the Citizens' Assembly on Electoral Reform on February 17, 2007.

Results
The assembly's recommendation was voted upon by Ontario voters in the referendum held on October 10, 2007, at the same time as the provincial election. 63 percent of Ontarians voted in favour of first-past-the-post and no change to the Ontario electoral system was made as a result.

Reaction
By the end of the campaign, assembly members were critical of both the media coverage of their work and of the $6.8 million educational campaign, directed by Elections Ontario.

The assembly member for Beaches-East York, Catherine Baquero, stated "I'm very disappointed there's been a lack of meaningful debate. [...] I'm disappointed that Elections Ontario's education campaign has been so toothless. What I expected was a more detailed discussion of the pros and cons of each system."

Another assembly member, Rich Browridge, concurred with Baquero: "There's an awful lack of understanding on the proposition. I think that's too bad. Elections Ontario isn't doing its job. [...] There's been no real attempt at a major public education campaign, and that's what was needed."

Significance
The assembly process was premised on the idea that average citizens can come together to make good decisions on various policy issues by means of deliberating these issues. In particular, it is seen as a good method for studying electoral reform as politicians face a fundamental conflict of interest when it comes to evaluating the system that elects them.

Advocates of Canadian federal electoral reform considered the Ontario vote as crucial because they felt the adoption of proportional representation in Canada's most populous province would have provided impetus for reform and practical Canadian evidence on how proportional systems respond to voters. The referendum results and the way the referendum process was conducted stand as a warning to future attempts at electoral reform.

Laurent Clerc

Louis Laurent Marie Clerc (26 December 1788 – 18 July 1869) was a French teacher called "The Apostle of the Deaf in America" and was regarded as the most renowned deaf person in American Deaf History. He was taught by Abbé Sicard and deaf educator Jean Massieu, at the Institution Nationale des Sourds-Muets in Paris. With Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, he co-founded the first school for the deaf in North America, the Asylum for the Education and Instruction of the Deaf and Dumb, on April 15, 1817, in the old Bennet's City Hotel, Hartford, Connecticut. The school was subsequently renamed the American School for the Deaf and in 1821 moved to 139 Main Street, West Hartford. The school remains the oldest existing school for the deaf in North America.

Biography
Laurent Clerc was born December 26, 1785, in La Balme-les-Grottes, Isère, a village on the northeastern edge of Lyon to Joseph-François Clerc and Marie-Élisabeth Candy in the small village of La Balme, where his father was the mayor. Clerc's home was a typical bourgeois household. When he was one year old, Clerc fell from a chair into a fire, suffering a severe burn and obtained a permanent scar on the right side of his cheek. Clerc's family believed his deafness and inability to smell were caused by this accident, but Clerc later wrote that he was not certain of this and might have been born deaf and without the ability to smell. The facial scar later provided the basis for his name sign, performed with the manual alphabet for "U", stroked twice downward on the right cheek. Clerc attended Institut National de Jeunes Sourds de Paris when he was just 12 years old and soon became a teacher there. While there, he was taught by Abbe Sicard and Jean Massieu who was deaf. In 1815 he traveled with Sicard and Massieu to England to give a lecture and happened upon Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet who was traveling in search of means for instructing deaf children. Gallaudet was invited to visit the school in Paris. Then in 1816, after a few months with Clerc at the school, Gaulladet invited Clerc to accompany him to the United States. During the trip across the ocean, Clerc learned English from Gallaudet, and Gallaudet learned sign language from Clerc. After arriving in America they worked together to establish the first permanent school for the Deaf in Hartford, Connecticut, which is now known as the American School for the Deaf.

Laurent Clerc died at the age of 83 at his home in Hartford. The 1869 obituary in the New York Times says, Clerc came to Hartford in 1816 and became a teacher in 1817, then served more than 50 years "in the cause of deaf-mute instruction" and "his abilities, zeal, and graces of character made him always respected and loved." Clerc married one of the first pupils – Eliza Crocker Boardman.

Legacy
Generally, prior to the onset of organized education of the deaf, deaf people were regarded as unintelligent and incapable of education. Laurent Clerc became one of the most recognizable figures in Deaf history of the United States thanks to his significant role in shaping deaf education. As a person who could not hear, nor speak from a young age and, despite this, acquired excellent command of spoken languages at an age far past the prime years for language acquisition he is also an exemplary personification of educability and high intellect.

Largely due to Clerc's contribution to the education of the Deaf in America several awards, buildings, funds, and other honors were named after him. Most notably at Gallaudet University

Film
Laurent Clerc is portrayed in the fictional film Sign Gene, the superhero film about deaf mutants who have superhuman powers through the use of sign language, as the fourth great-grandfather of the leading character Tom Clerc (played by Emilio Insolera). The film was released in September 2017.

Category:Plastic arts

Plastic arts are art forms which involve physical manipulation of a plastic medium by moulding or modeling such as sculpture or ceramics. The term has also been applied more broadly to all the visual arts (such as painting, sculpture, film and photography).[1]

Materials for use in the plastic arts, in the narrower definition, include those that can be carved or shaped, such as stone or wood, concrete, or metal. "Plastics" meaning certain synthetic organic resins have been used ever since they were invented, but the term "plastic arts" long preceded them. The term should not be confused with Piet Mondrian's concept of "Neoplasticism".

Korgfjell Tunnel

The Korgfjell Tunnel (Korgfjelltunnelen) is an 8530 m long road tunnel in Nordland county, Norway. The tunnel connects Knutli in Vefsn Municipality with the village of Korgen in Hemnes Municipality. Work on the tunnel started in September 2001 and it was opened on 16 September 2005.

The tunnel replaced a narrow, steep, twisting mountain road and shortened the European route E6 highway by 4 km. The travel time was shortened by 10–20 minutes. Before the tunnel, trucks with trailers were often stuck going uphill or downhill in snowy conditions, blocking the road. The place was considered one of the worst places on the E6 highway. The mountain road which reaches 560 meter in altitude was built by the Germans during World War II, replacing a ferry connection at Elsfjord. The cost of the tunnel, including new roads at both ends, was about NOK450 million.

Paolo Farinati

Paolo Farinati (also known as Farinato or Farinato degli Uberti; c. 1524 – c. 1606) was an Italian painter of the Mannerist style, active in mainly in his native Verona, but also in Mantua and Venice.

He may have ancestors among Florentine stock to which belonged the Ghibelline leader Farinata degli Uberti, celebrated in Dante's Divina Commedia. He was a contemporary of the prominent artist of Verona, Paolo Veronese. He was succeeded by other members of the Cagliari family, of whom most or all were outlived by Farinato. He was instructed, according to Giorgio Vasari, by his father and by the Veronese Niccolò Giolfino, and probably by Antonio Badile and Domenico del Riccio (Brusasorci).

Proceeding to Mantua, he formed his initial style partly on the influence of Giulio Romano. His first major work was an altarpiece for the Duomo of Mantua. The chapel of the Sacrament in that church was frescoed concurrently by Farinati, Paolo Veronese, Domenico Riccio, and Battista del Moro.

Vasari praised his thronged compositions and merit of draughtsmanship. His works are to be found not only in Venice and principally in Verona, but also in Padua and other towns belonging or adjacent to the Venetian territory. In 1584, he painted one of the trio of painters (Farinati, Felice Brusasorzi, and Anselmo Canera) depicting events from the life of Moses for the palace of Pellegrino Ridolfi in the Veronese contrada of San Pietro Incarnario. The canvas depicting Moses Defending the Daughters of Jethro was Farinati's contribution, now in the Museo degli Affreschi G.B. Cavalcaselle in Verona.

He was a prosperous and light-hearted man, and continually progressed in his art, passing from a comparatively dry manner into a larger and bolder one, with much attraction of drapery and of landscape. Late in life, his style resembled that of Paolo Veronese. The Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes, painted in the church of San Giorgio in Braida, is accounted his masterpiece, executed at the advanced age of seventy-nine, and crowded with figures. A Last Supper was painted by him in Santa Maria in Organo; also in this church, he painted a Michael expelling Lucifer and Massacre of the Innocents. In Piacenza is a St Sixtus; in Berlin a Presentation in the Temple; and in the communal gallery of Verona one of his masterpieces, the Marriage of St Catherine. Farinati executed some sculptures, and various etchings of sacred and mythologic subjects. He is said to have died at the same hour as his wife. His son Orazio was also a painter of merit. His daughter Chiara also was a painter.

Farinati is notable for having kept a detailed journal of his activities from 1573 until his death. His many drawings on tinted paper are particularly notable.
