Kanayama Station (Aichi)

Kanayama Station (金山駅) is a railway station in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. The station is a concentrated terminal operated by Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central), Nagoya Railroad (Meitetsu), and Nagoya Municipal Subway, and is the main access terminal to Chūbu Centrair International Airport.

Meitetsu Kanayama Station
Meitetsu Kanayama station is the oldest of the three stations that make up Kanayama Station, having been operating since 1 September 1944. Originally it was known as Kanayamabashi Station.

Layout
There are three wickets, namely the West Wicket, Central Wicket, and East Wicket. There is also a special wicket that allows transfers between JR and Meitetsu Lines.

Platforms
There are two island platforms serving four tracks.

JR Central Kanayama Station
JR Central Kanayama Station is one of the stations within Kanayama Station, and the second one to have been opened, on 25 January 1962, after Meitetsu Kanayama. It is a main stop on the Chūō Main Line and the Tōkaidō Main Line. On the Tōkaidō Main Line, there is a rapid train known as the Home Liner, and on the Chūō Main Line, there is a rapid train known as the Central Liner. There is a special wicket that allows passengers to transfer from JR lines to Meitetsu lines, which is possible because the Meitetsu tracks are within the JR tracks. There is also a staffed ticket office.

Station numbering was introduced to the sections of the Tōkaidō and Chuo Lines operated JR Central in March 2018; Kanayama Station was assigned station number CA66 for the Tōkaidō Line and CF01 for the Chuo Line.

Lines

 * Tōkaidō Main Line
 * for Nagoya, Gifu, and Ōgaki
 * for Ōbu, Kariya, Okazaki, Gamagōri, Toyohashi, and Hamamatsu
 * Chūō Main Line
 * for Nagoya
 * for Kōzōji, Tajimi, and Nakatsugawa

Platforms
There are two physical platforms for four lines. The two physical platforms straddle the platforms of Meitetsu Kanayama, which are sandwiched in the middle. Platforms 1 and 2 are for the Chūō Line, with Platform 1 serving trains bound for Tajimi Station and Platform 2 serving trains bound for Nagoya Station. Platforms 3 and 4 are for the Tōkaidō Line, with Platform 3 serving trains bound for Toyohashi Station and Platform 4 serving trains bound for Nagoya Station.

The station is completely accessible inside the gates for passengers with disabilities.

Nagoya Municipal Subway Kanayama Station
The subway portion of Kanayama Station opened on 30 March 1967 as a stop on the Meijō Line and Meikō Line.

Lines

 * (Station Number: M01)
 * for Sakae and Ōzone
 * for Aratama-bashi and Nagoya Daigaku (Nagoya University)
 * (Station Number: E01)
 * for Nagoyakō (Nagoya Port)

Platforms
There are four platforms. Platforms 3 and 4, on one physical platform, both serve trains bound for Sakae Station and Ōzone Station. The other physical platform has trains bound for Nagoyakō Station on Platform 2 and trains bound for Aratama-bashi Station on Platform 1.

Swan Silvertones

The Swan Silvertones are an American gospel music group that first achieved popularity in the 1940s and 1950s under the leadership of Claude Jeter. Jeter formed the group in 1938 as the "Four Harmony Kings" while he was working as a coal miner in West Virginia, United States. After moving to Knoxville, Tennessee and obtaining their own radio show, the group changed its name to the Silvertone Singers in order to avoid confusion with another ensemble known as the "Four Kings of Harmony." They added the name Swan shortly thereafter, since Swan Bakeries sponsored their show. Their wide exposure through radio brought them a contract in 1946 with King Records.

Career
At this early stage, the Silvertones already embodied an amalgam of two styles: the close barbershop harmony that they had featured when starting out in West Virginia, and virtuoso leads supplied by Jeter and Solomon Womack. The group later lost Womack, but added Paul Owens in 1952 and Louis Johnson in 1955. Claude Jeter performed as lead singer on "Mary Don't You Weep".

The group recorded for Specialty Records from 1951 to 1955, when it switched to Vee-Jay Records. They recorded one album with HOB Records after Vee-Jay shut down in 1965, at which point Jeter left the group for the ministry. They recorded an additional 11 albums with HOB Records and 1 LP on Peacock Records in 1973 before signing with Savoy Records and recording 7 more albums. In 2009, a revamped line-up released the compact disc Need More Love thru CD Baby.

When interviewed by Dick Cavett in April 1970, Paul Simon credited the group with inspiring him to write the song "Bridge Over Troubled Water, specifically Jeter's line in one song: "I'll be a bridge over deep water if you trust in my name"—with Simon confessing: "I guess I stole it.' John Fogerty's goal for the line, "Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river," in the song "Proud Mary" was to evoke male gospel harmonies, as exemplified by groups such as the Swan Silvertones, the Sensational Nightingales, and the Five Blind Boys of Mississippi.

The Swan Silvertones were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2002.

In January 2011, the Swan Silvertones were nominated for the 10th Annual Independent Music Awards in the Gospel category for Need More Love.

Minimum obstacle clearance altitude

Minimum Obstacle Clearance Altitude, or MOCA, is the lowest published altitude in effect between fixes on VOR airways or route segments that meets obstacle (like a building or a tower) clearance requirements for the entire route segment. Within the United States, this altitude also assures acceptable navigational signal coverage only within 22 nm of a VOR. The MOCA seen on the NACO en route chart, may have been computed by adding the required obstacle clearance (ROC) to the controlling obstacle in the primary area or computed by using a TERPS chart if the controlling obstacle is located in the secondary area. This figure is then rounded to the nearest 100 foot increment, i.e. 2,049 feet becomes 2,000, and 2,050 feet becomes 2,100 feet. An extra 2,000 feet is added in mountainous areas, 1,000 in non-mountainous. The MOCA is based upon obstacle clearance over the terrain or over manmade objects, adequacy of navigation facility performance, and communications requirements. The MOCA is always at or below the Minimum en route altitude (MEA), and may put an aircraft below air traffic control radar coverage and also below Minimum reception altitude (MRA) for navigation aids; as a result, it is typically used only in emergencies, especially to get below icing.

Miss Peach

Miss Peach was a syndicated comic strip created by American cartoonist Mell Lazarus. It ran for 45 years, from February 4, 1957, to September 8, 2002.

Format and style
The daily strips often contained only a single panel. The format was "gag-a-day". The drawing was stylized: the children had tiny bodies and large heads with flounder faces (both eyes on the same side of the nose).

Publication history
The strip came into being because of a United Features Syndicate talent search contest for new comic strips. Lazarus recalled, "I scanned the papers, and there was nothing about schools, so I invented Miss Peach." Although he did not win the United Features contest, Miss Peach was launched in the New York Herald Tribune and eventually was published internationally in 300 newspapers.

In the 1990s, the title was changed to the more modern Ms. Peach. For health reasons, Lazarus stopped drawing the strip in August 2002; the last ran on September 8. His other strip, Momma, ran until 2016 due to Lazarus' death that year.

Characters and story
The strip was set in Kelly School, named after Pogo cartoonist Walt Kelly. In the summer, the scene usually shifted to a summer camp, Kamp Kelly.
 * Miss Peach, the main teacher, sweet and good natured, beloved by her students, although she can be firm.
 * Ms. Crystal, the octogenarian kindergarten teacher. She would sometimes ask Francine to watch her young charges.
 * Mr. J. W. Grimmis, pompous and somewhat grouchy principal
 * Mr. Musselman, gym teacher
 * Miss Peach's students, Marcia Mason, Ira Brown, Arthur Strimm, Francine, Freddy Foster, Lester Larson, Linda, Walter, Stuart, Sheila, Farley, and Desdemona

In 1964, Lazarus commented, "The characters in Miss Peach are not actually modeled on real persons, with the possible exception of Lester, the skinny kid in the strip. Possibly the most loved character is Arthur, the dopey little kid."

Comics historian Don Markstein observed:
 * Her students, Arthur, Ira, Marcia and several others, tended to be hip, wisecracking types rather than typical media kids from before the 1950s. Another frequently seen supporting character was Miss Crystal, who was in her 80s and still teaching at Kelly. The strip was a success from the start, and quickly began generating paperback reprints. There were also a couple of comic books. Dell put out an issue in 1963, written and drawn not by Lazarus, but by Jack Mendelsohn (Jackys Diary). Six years later, Lazarus did a comic book special, Miss Peach Tells You How to Grow. Lazarus, a staunch supporter of creators' rights, later moved from the Herald-Tribune to Creators Syndicate (Baby Blues, Crankshaft).

Controversy
The November 29, 1963, episode was pulled from syndication because one of the characters fantasized about saving the President of the United States' life—one week after John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Cartoonists prepare their strips many weeks before publication.

In other media
In 1971, Miss Peach was adapted as an animated segment for the television series Curiosity Shop.

From 1982, several television movies were based on the strip: Miss Peach of the Kelly School featured Deborah Grover as Miss Peach and puppets as the children (some voiced by Martin Short). These focused on special holidays, notably Thanksgiving and Valentine's Day.

What do i mean by stuff?, well the "stuff" thing here mostly relates to facts i have realized about computers and life. Yeah that are the two things i enjoy the most, so either I am at a keyboard[with ofcourse a cabinet throbbing on the other side], or else i am enjoying and understanding the mysteries of life. Nothing more to say here but will update this once i have a decent enough representation on the WWW. Sorry for not divulging an personal info here.

Minimum en route altitude

Minimum en route altitude (MEA), alternately spelled as Minimum enroute altitude, is the lowest published altitude between radio navigation fixes that assures acceptable navigational signal coverage (see MRA) and meets obstacle clearance requirements (see MOCA) between those fixes.

The definition given here is that of the United States Federal Aviation Administration. Details may vary in other jurisdictions.

Overview
The MEA prescribed for a Federal airway or segment, RNAV low or high route, or other direct route applies to the entire width of the airway, segment, or route. MEAs for routes wholly contained within controlled airspace normally provide a buffer above the floor of controlled airspace consisting of at least 300 feet within transition areas and 500 feet within control areas. MEAs are established based upon obstacle clearance over terrain and man-made objects, adequacy of navigation facility performance, and communications requirements, although adequate communication at the MEA is not guaranteed. The MEA does, however, assure acceptable navigational signal coverage and meets obstacle clearance requirements between those fixes.

Indian settlement

An Indian settlement is a census subdivision outlined by the Canadian government Department of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada for census purposes. These areas have at least 10 status Indian or non-status Indian people who live more or less permanently in the given area. They are usually located on Crown land owned by the federal or provincial government and have not been set apart for the use and the benefit of an Indian band, as is the case with Indian reserves.

World Series of Golf (unofficial event)

The World Series of Golf was an annual golf competition. The competition differed from traditional golf tournaments in that the winner is decided not by the lowest stroke-play score or by winning a bracket-style elimination in match play, but by winning wagers bet on each hole in a betting style similar to poker.

The first event was held May 13–16, 2007, and was televised by NBC June 23–24, 2007. The second event was played May 12–15, 2008, and was televised by CBS on June 28–29.

Format
Each hole is conducted in a manner similar to a hand of Texas Hold 'Em. Each player begins the round with a stake, and a playing group consists of three to six players. In the inaugural tournament, the buy-in for each player is $10,000.

Before teeing off for each hole, each player bets an ante. The ante starts out at 1% of the opening stake for the round, i.e., $100 on the first hole of the opening round, and doubles every three holes. After the tee shots, players then check, raise or call bets, or fold and do not play the rest of that hole. Betting follows a prescribed order that rotates on each hole, just like "the button" in Hold 'Em, and playing of shots follows the same order, unlike traditional golf where the player whose ball is furthest from the hole shoots first on each shot. The pot is won by the player with the lowest score on each hole, or by the remaining player if all others have folded. A tie score on a hole ("halved" in match-play parlance) results in a split pot, much like a tie hand in poker.

If a player does not have enough money remaining in his or her stake to cover the ante for the next hole, he or she is eliminated and the remaining stake goes into the pot for the next hole.

The round ends when one player has won all the money from the others in his group, which may take more than 18 holes.

Aside from rule variations involving betting and the order in which players take their shots, the event is played under standard United States Golf Association rules.

The inaugural event was open to amateur golfers only. Players were paired with those of similar ability for the first round, which was played without handicaps. Handicap scoring was used for second and third rounds.

2007 World Series of Golf
The inaugural event was held at the Primm Valley Golf Club near Primm, Nevada. A field of 60 participants played three rounds.

Results
Winner: Mark Ewing, day trader, Newport Beach, California

Others in final group: Phil Ivey, professional poker player, Las Vegas; Rhett Butler, professional poker player, Rockville, Maryland; Paul Schuller, electrician, Seattle, Washington; and Ken Tanner, retired railroad conductor, Penrose, Colorado.

Ewing won the event of the 16th hole of the final round by sinking a three-foot putt.

Other notable entrants: actress Tanya Roberts; poker players Phil Gordon, Steve Dannenmann, Ken Einiger and Blair Rodman; professional blackjack player/author Max Rubin; former Denver Broncos quarterback Dave Kyle; and former Major League Baseball player Dusty Allen.

2008 World Series of Golf
The 2008 event was played May 12–15, 2008, at the Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort. The event drew 80 contestants.

Results
Winner: Andrew "A.J." Johnson, automobile salesman, Davison, Michigan

Others in final group: Allen Cunningham, Erick Lindgren and Dee Tiller, all professional poker players, and Bill Spencer, a semi-retired builder. All but Johnson are from Las Vegas.

Johnson defeated Lindgren on the first playoff hole. Johnson won $250,000, and Lindgren won $60,000.

Other notable entrants:

 * Comedian Ray Romano
 * Emily Jillette, wife of magician Penn Jillette of Penn and Teller
 * Phil Gordon, Phil Ivey, Tom Schneider, Daniel Negreanu and Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, professional poker players

Richard Watson (Methodist)

Richard Watson (1781–1833) was a British Methodist theologian, a leading figure of Wesleyan Methodism in the early 19th century.

Early life and education
Watson was born on 22 February 1781, at Barton-upon-Humber, in Lincolnshire. He was the seventh of eighteen children of Thomas and Ann Watson. His father, a saddler, held Calvinist views, and Richard was brought up in the Countess of Huntingdon's Connexion. Reacting against those teachings, he attended a Wesleyan chapel as a boy, and was received there in 1794.

In 1791, Watson entered Lincoln Grammar School. In 1795 he was apprenticed to a joiner at Lincoln.

Career
In 1796, Watson preached his first sermon, andemoved to Newark-on-Trent as assistant to Thomas Cooper, as a Wesleyan preacher. In 1796, he entered the Methodist itinerancy, and was received into full connection as a travelling minister in 1801. Meanwhile, he was stationed at Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Castle Donington, and Derby.

In 1801, Watson married Mary Henslow of Castle Donington, daughter of a Methodist New Connexion preacher there. They had two children. In 1803, he withdrew from the Wesleyans, and joined the New Connexion, resenting an unfounded charge of Arianism. In 1805, he became assistant secretary of the New Connexion's conference, and in 1807 he was fully admitted to its ministry and was appointed secretary. He was first stationed at Stockport, then from 1806 at Liverpool, where he engaged in literary work for Thomas Kaye.

In 1807, Watson resigned his ministry. In 1808 he was engaged as editor of the Liverpool Courier by Kaye. In 1812 he then returned to the Wesleyan Connexion, and was reinstated in his former position. In 1812, he was stationed at Wakefield, and at Hull from 1814 to 1816.

In 1813, Watson drew up a plan of a general missionary society, which was accepted by the conference. In 1810 he was removed to London, and made one of the two general secretaries to the Wesleyan Missionary Society from 1821 to 1827. After holding an appointment at Manchester, from 1827 to 29, he returned to London. He was again appointed a resident secretary to the missionary society from 1832 to 1833.

Death
Watson died in London on 8 January 1833. He was buried in the graveyard behind City Road Chapel, London.

Theology
Watson was a strong Methodist, but constantly wrote of the Anglican communion as "the mother of us all". He was deeply attached to the Anglican prayer-book, and was anxious to keep Methodism in friendly relations with the establishment.

Watson was a gifted writer and theologian. In doctrine, is known to be "an orthodox Trinitarian and an Evangelical Arminian".

In 1818 he wrote a reply to Adam Clarke's doctrine of the eternal Sonship of Christ; Watson believed that Clarke's views were unorthodox and, therefore, not faithfully Wesleyan.

From 1823 to 1829 he worked on his Theological Institutes, which remained a systematic theology standard for many years and deservedly ranks among the ablest expositions of the Arminian system. It was the first attempt to systematize John Wesley's theology and, by extension, Methodist doctrine.

His Biblical and Theological Dictionary (1831) is more comprehensive than previous attempts in English. In 1831, he wrote also a well-regarded Life of Rev. John Wesley.

In Britain, Watson was a leading opponent of slavery. He was not, however, for immediate emancipation.

Evacuation simulation

Evacuation simulation is a method to determine evacuation times for areas, buildings, or vessels. It is based on the simulation of crowd dynamics and pedestrian motion. The number of evacuation software have been increased dramatically in the last 25 years. A similar trend has been observed in term of the number of scientific papers published on this subject. One of the latest survey indicate the existence of over 70 pedestrian evacuation models. Today there are two conferences dedicated to this subject: "Pedestrian Evacuation Dynamics" and "Human Behavior in Fire".

The distinction between buildings, ships, and vessels on the one hand and settlements and areas on the other hand is important for the simulation of evacuation processes. In the case of the evacuation of a whole district, the transport phase (see emergency evacuation) is usually covered by queueing models (see below).

Pedestrian evacuation simulation are popular in the fire safety design of building when a performance based approach is used. Simulations are not primarily methods for optimization. To optimize the geometry of a building or the procedure with respect to evacuation time, a target function has to be specified and minimized. Accordingly, one or several variables must be identified which are subject to variation.

Classification of models
Modelling approaches in the field of evacuation simulation:
 * Cellular automaton: discrete, microscopic models, where the pedestrian is represented by a cell state. In this case both statics and dynamic floor fields (i.e., distance maps) are used to navigate agents toward exits moving from a cell to adjacent cells which can have different shapes.   There exist models for ship evacuation processes, bi-directional pedestrian flows, general models with bionics aspects
 * Agent-based models: microscopic models, where the pedestrian is represented by an agent. The agents can have human attributes besides the coordinates. Their behavior can integrate stochastic nature. There exist general models with spatial aspects of pedestrian steps
 * Social Force Model: continuous, microscopic model, based on equations from physics
 * Queuing models: macroscopic models which are based on the graphical representation of the geometry. The movement of the persons is represented as a flow on this graph.
 * Particle swarm optimization models: microscopic model, based on a fitness function which minimizes some properties of the evacuation (distance between pedestrians, distance between pedestrians and exits)
 * Fluid-dynamic models: continuous, macroscopic models, where large crowds are modeled with coupled, nonlinear, partial differential equations

Simulation of evacuations
Buildings (train stations, sports stadia), ships, aircraft, tunnels, and trains are similar concerning their evacuation: the persons are walking towards a safe area. In addition, persons might use slides or similar evacuation systems and for ships the lowering of life-boats.

Tunnels
Tunnels are unique environments with their own specific characteristics: underground spaces, unknown to users, no natural light, etc. which affect different aspects of evacuees behaviours such as pre-evacuation times (e.g. occupants' reluctance to leave the vehicles), occupant–occupant and occupant–environment interactions, herding behaviour and exit selection.

Ships
Four aspects are particular for ship evacuation:
 * Ratio of number of crew to number of passengers,
 * Ship motion,
 * Floating position
 * The evacuation system (e.g., slides, life-boats).

Ship motion and/or abnormal floating position may decrease the ability to move. This influence has been investigated experimentally and can be taken into account by reduction factors.

The evacuation of a ship is divided into two separate phases: assembly phase and embarkation phase.

Aircraft
The American Federal Aviation Administration requires that aircraft have to be able to be evacuated within 90 seconds. This criterion has to be checked before approval of the aircraft.

The 90-second rule requires the demonstration that all passengers and crew members can safely abandon the aircraft cabin in less than 90 seconds, with half of the usable exits blocked, with the minimum illumination provided by floor proximity lighting, and a certain age-gender mix in the simulated occupants.

The rule was established in 1965 with 120 seconds, and has been evolving over the years to encompass the improvements in escape equipment, changes in cabin and seat material, and more complete and appropriate crew training.

possible copyright violation, article removed with apologies to the copyright holder.

his original name
The monash biographical dictionary of 20C has his original name as 'Simcha Baevski'. (the Myers came later. When?) Should the article state this if its true? Lentisco 04:49, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

The National Archives of Australia has his 1902 naturalization file (under the name Simcha Baevski Myer). This gives the boat he arrived on (Karlsruhe, August 1899). The Victorian Public Records Office has a transcript of the passenger manifest for this boat. The Passengers include a Mr T Beavsky. The initial may have been mis-transcribed. (Can someone check the microfilm?) The Victorian Death Index for 1934 lists him as both Simcho Baevski and Sydney Baevski Myer. So, in summary, the surname Myer was adopted no later than 1902, the first name Sidney (or Sydney?) was adopted a little later. 220.253.58.96 10:05, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

The Victorian Passenger Lists are now viewable on familysearch.org. I read the entry as "Mr I Beavsky, aged 20". See: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSXD-JS4K-Y (requires familysearch login ) 203.166.236.52 (talk) 10:52, 21 October 2018 (UTC)

His American sojourn
Why no mention of his time in the USA? He went there to make his fortune, not intending to return to Australia. It was there (Reno, Neveda) that he divorced his first wife; married his 2nd wife, Merlyn; and had his children (born in San Francisco). He only came back to Australia because things didn't work out as well in the USA as he had hoped. This all certainly needs some mention. --  Jack of Oz    ... speak! ...   08:55, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Sidney Myer

Sidney Myer (born Simcha Myer Baevski (Сімха Маер Баеўскі); 8 February 1878 – 5 September 1934) was a Belarusian-born Jewish-Australian businessman and philanthropist, best known for founding Myer, Australia's largest chain of department stores.

Early life
Myer was born in Krychaw (Krichev), Mogilev Governorate, Russian Empire (within the Pale of Settlement, present-day Belarus), the youngest of eleven children born to Ezekiel Baevski, a Hebrew scholar, and his wife, Koona Dubrusha (née Shur). He was educated at the Jewish Elementary School in Krichev, and later managed his mother's drapery business. He emigrated to Melbourne in August 1899 with very little money and little knowledge of English to join his elder brother, Elcon Myer (1875–1938), who had left Russia two years earlier.

Career
Sidney and Elcon Myer both worked in Slutzkin's underclothing business in Flinders Lane, Melbourne; later they established a small drapery shop in Bendigo. This proving to be quite successful, Myer took his goods, stockings, laces, etc., from door to door, and, in spite of knowing little English, sold his wares. He then bought a cart and travelled through country towns. The business was later moved to Pall Mall, Bendigo, where it prospered, other shops were added, and later the Bendigo business of Craig Williamson and Thomas was bought.

In 1911 he purchased the business of Wright and Neil, Drapers, in Bourke Street, near the General Post Office, and a new building was completed and opened in 1914. The architects were HW & FB Tompkins who went on to design all the extensions over the next 20 years. The Doveton woollen mills at Ballarat were purchased in 1918, and in 1921 a new building fronting on Post Office Place, was added at Melbourne. These became the Myer chain of department stores. The Myer Emporium grew with the purchase of such old established businesses as Robertson & Moffat, and Stephens & Sons.

In 1925, Myer Ltd was listed on the Melbourne Stock Exchange and the new building on the Lonsdale Street frontage was begun. A separate building in Queensberry Street, Melbourne, was put up in 1928, and the Collins Street businesses of T. Webb and Sons, china importers, and W. H. Rocke and Company, house furnishers, were bought and transferred to the Bourke-street building. A public company had in the meantime been formed which by 1934 had a paid-up capital of nearly £2,500,000. A controlling interest in Marshall's Limited of Adelaide was also acquired. The company was then employing 5,300 people with medical and nursing aid for the staff, and rest homes for them at the seaside and in the Dandenong Ranges. Some of Myer's friends and business associates feared the business was developing too rapidly but it was in a prosperous state and fast recovering from the effects of the Depression, when Myer died suddenly on 5 September 1934, at age 56.

Personal life
On 8 March 1905, Myer married Hannah Nance Flegeltaub (1868–1963), a cousin of Travers Vale. They had no children, but in 1911 he acted as guardian of his nephew, Norman Myer. In mid-1919, Sidney Myer went to the United States to study retailing. While there he divorced Hannah in Reno, Nevada, although the divorce was not recognised under Australian law.

While in Nevada, Myer also converted to Christianity. As Darrel Paproth notes, however, this was also "the culmination of Lee Neil's witness to him over the years of their friendship and working together."

On 8 January 1920, Myer married (Margery) Merlyn Baillieu (later Dame Merlyn Myer), on her 20th birthday. They had two daughters and two sons: Kenneth (1 March 1921 – 30 July 1992), Neilma (7 November 1922 – 15 June 2015, later Neilma Gantner), Sidney Baillieu Myer  (11 January 1926 – 23 January 2022), and Marigold Merlyn Baillieu Myer (Lady Southey ) (born 2 May 1928). Merlyn traveled to San Francisco, California for the birth of each of their four children to ensure they would be considered legitimate.

The Myers returned to Australia in 1929. Ken Myer was a philanthropist, a prime mover behind the Victorian Arts Centre; chairman of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation; and was offered and declined the governor-generalship of Australia. Ken Myer and his brother Baillieu set up the Myer Foundation in 1959. Sidney Baillieu Myer married Sarah June Hordern (born 1935) of the Sydney Hordern retailing family on 15 December 1955, thus linking two of Australia's wealthiest families. Sidney Baillieu Myer and Sarah Hordern had three children: Sid Myer, Rupert Myer and Samantha Hordern Ballieau AM, nee Myer, formerly Bartlett.

One of Myer's granddaughters, Joanna Baevski (the only daughter of Kenneth and Prue (née Boyd) Myer) is a Director of The Myer Foundation. She is Vice-President of the Governance Committee, and a member of the Social Justice Committee, the Water Committee and the Environment Grant Making Committee. She represents The Myer Foundation as a council member of the organisation Our Community, and is a board member of Australians for Just Refugee Programs. A member of Philanthropy Australia, Joanna Baevski is also a supporter of the Victorian Women's Trust.

Death
Myer collapsed and died in Woorigoleen Road, Toorak, a few hundred metres from his home at 'Cranlana', 62 Clendon Road, Toorak on 5 September 1934. The cause of death was given as congestive heart failure. Myer's gravesite, a sepulchre for the reception of urns of ashes, is in Box Hill Public Cemetery in Melbourne. Also interred in the tomb are Dame Merlyn Myer, and Ken Myer and his wife, Yasuko, who perished together in a light aircraft crash in Alaska in 1992. The grave is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register.

Philanthropy

A violinist who enjoyed music, Sidney Myer established free, open-air concerts with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in 1929, which were always well attended by Melburnians.

During the depression of the 1930s, Myer felt a responsibility to contribute something to the community that had assisted him in achieving business success and a personal fortune. Rather than terminate employment of workers in his Department Store, all staff, including himself, had their wages cut. Relief work was personally financed by a £22,000 sum, to provide employment opportunities. For the unemployed at Christmas, he financed a Christmas dinner for 10,000 people at the Royal Exhibition Building, including a gift for every child.

Legacy
Myer's will was proved at £922,000. His funeral was attended by some 100,000 people. One-tenth of his estate went to establish the Sidney Myer Charitable Trust, now known as the Sidney Myer Fund, to continue the tradition of philanthropy begun by its founder. The most famous philanthropic funding was for the construction of the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in the Kings Domain, Melbourne in 1958, which is named in his honour. He is also the namesake for the Sidney Myer Asia Centre building at the University of Melbourne.

Talk:Stepan Bandera

Latest unexplained reverts
@HanKim20, I don't see any explanation for these reverts. ManyAreasExpert (talk) 13:03, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

 * ManyAreasExpert, did you remove "Category:Ukrainian collaborators with Nazi Germany" with the motivation "Article says it's propaganda"? Bandera's collaboration with Nazi Germany is not questioned in the article. Mhorg (talk) 15:32, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Bandera's collaboration with Nazi Germany is not questioned in the article. Bandera's collaboration with Nazi Germany is not described in the article. ManyAreasExpert (talk) 15:35, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
 * May be try searching for "Nazi" in the article? Ymblanter (talk) 08:03, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Nazi If there is anything specific why don't quote it here. The best I can find is that "Ukrainians from the East condemn him as Nazi collaborator". ManyAreasExpert (talk) 08:35, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Really, I am not sure how you are going to convince anyone that the article does not describe Bandera's Nazi collaboration at this level of argument. Everybody here can read, and it is trivial to see it does. Ymblanter (talk) 13:47, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Bandera's Nazi collaboration The article body includes 11 mentions of "collaboration" in various forms. One is mentioned in a message above, then follows Bandera collaborated closely with Richard Yary At the congress, decisions were made to stop any open collaboration with the Germans Bandera later denied in conversations with the CIA that he had been involved in the formation of these organisations or any collaboration with Germany  Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations was founded, with which Bandera also collaborated ZP UHVR, collaborated with the US intelligence neither the OUN nor the UPA can be viewed as only ‘fascist collaborators’ Post-war Soviet history propagated the image of Bandera and the UPA as exclusively fascist collaborators and xenophobes millions of Ukrainians were killed but some collaborated Pro-Russian activists claimed: "Those people in Kyiv are Bandera-following Nazi collaborators." used rhetoric that was similar to Soviet era policy of equating the development of Ukrainian national identity with Nazism due to Bandera's collaboration The last sentence cannot be found in source, and I'm going to correct it. edit: found the needed sentences in the source What of these you find the best supporting the question raised? ManyAreasExpert (talk) 14:24, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 * This one does the job even if nothing else were in the article (and there is quite a lot of other things): On 23 June 1941, one day after the German attack on the Soviet Union, Bandera sent a letter to Adolf Hitler arguing the case for an independent Ukraine. On 30 June 1941, with the arrival of Nazi troops in Ukraine, the OUN-B unilaterally declared an independent Ukrainian state ("Act of Renewal of Ukrainian Statehood"). The proclamation pledged a cooperation of the new Ukrainian state with Nazi Germany under the leadership of Hitler. The declaration was accompanied by violent pogroms. Ymblanter (talk) 15:18, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Those are facts. And it's not up to us to conclude that these mean Bandera was, or was not, and to what extent, and on what time period, a Nazi collaborator. The article also says Nazis imprisoned him in a concentration camp, does it makes him any less collaborator?Now, Liebe's book has the whole section titled "Collaboration" something. It's not like the article should reject this. It's just as of now, nobody cared to put a clear description of a problem into the article.(I scrolled the section, meanwhile, got an impression it's mostly on the OUN, not Bandera himself). ManyAreasExpert (talk) 15:42, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Bandera was the head of the corresponding section of OUN, and if he was collaborating with Nazi he was clearly a Nazi collaborator. It is just a plain fact. I do not see what needs to be discussed here. Ymblanter (talk) 16:00, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Note also that this is not the Russian Wikipedia, and edit-warring in articles on contentious topics (WP:CT) can result in a swift block. Ymblanter (talk) 13:50, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 * @Ymblanter the user removed all (Israeli) sources claiming that Bandera is a collaborator. In addition, he added the opinion of Maryna Shevtsova, a Ukrainian researcher who is an expert in the LGBT field. Mhorg (talk) 18:48, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Of course, what she wrote here borders fringe territory. Mellk (talk) 03:07, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @Mhorg, regarding your last edits. WP:NEWSORG Editorial commentary, analysis and opinion pieces, whether written by the editors of the publication (editorials) or outside authors (invited op-eds and letters to the editor from notable figures) are reliable primary sources for statements attributed to that editor or author, but are rarely reliable for statements of fact. You need something more reliable then news articles for such a strong and at the same time vague "During his collaboration with Nazi Germany" claim.Moreover, the lead should summarize the article body, and there is none of such in there. ManyAreasExpert (talk) 12:25, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Maryna Shevtsova not an expert
Greetings @Mhorg, Shevtsova's work has been referenced 9 times Shevtsova: Looking for Stepan Bandera: The Myth of... - Google Scholar. ManyAreasExpert (talk) 10:18, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

 * As you can see, she is not mentioned for historical researches but in the LGBTQ+ field. Even in her biography she writes:
 * "My research interests include LGBTQ rights and activism in Central and Eastern Europe, queer migration, and anti-gender movements". Mhorg (talk) 10:43, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
 * We are discussing this particular work which has been referenced 9 times by experts in a field. ManyAreasExpert (talk) 10:45, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
 * This does not mean anything. It is not her field, all her work is in the LGBTQ+ field, she is not an expert in history and she is not an expert in Ukrainian history. For such a controversial historical issue, we need only quote historians. Mhorg (talk) 10:51, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

June 2024 edit war on misleading categories
@AHI-3000, you are again pushing misleading categories with edit war,. Since you expressed disagreement with reporting this issue to admins, let's try to resolve it here first. Do you agree your edit to be reverted and discussed first, in accordance to WP:CONS? Thanks! ManyAreasExpert (talk) 21:03, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Bandera suffered a martyr's death and now he is a national hero in a part of Ukraine, that is, more precisely, a semi-national hero. Salisbury Spire (talk) 08:01, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I am not sure what you want to say, but per WP:RUSUKR new users may not discuss the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Ymblanter (talk) 19:47, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

NEC World Series of Golf

The World Series of Golf was a professional golf tournament on the PGA Tour, played at Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio. From its inception in 1962 through 1975, it was an unofficial 36-hole event matching the winners of the four major championships. In 1976 it became an official PGA Tour event; the field expanded to 20 players and the event was lengthened to 72 holes. the victory and $100,000 winner's share went to Nicklaus. The field was increased to over 40 players in 1983, though it never exceeded 50; NEC began sponsoring the event in 1984.

The tournament was last played in 1998, but was replaced by the newly created WGC-NEC Invitational in 1999. Firestone Country Club had hosted that tournament (now known as the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational) every year until 2019, except for 2002.

Invitation era
The World Series of Golf was founded as a four-man invitational event in 1962, comprising the winners of the four major championships in a 36-hole event. In the made-for-television tournament, the competitors played in one group for $75,000 in unofficial prize money, televised by NBC.

The inaugural edition in September 1962 included only the "Big Three" of Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and Gary Player. Palmer had won two majors that year and a fourth competitor was not added. Palmer shot a course record 65 in the first round on Saturday, but fell back with a 74 on Sunday. Nicklaus won with 135, four strokes ahead of Palmer and Player. Nicklaus, age 22, won a then-staggering $50,000, with $15,000 for second and $5,000 each for third and fourth, split between the other two for $12,500 each. Opposite this competition was the regular tour event in Denver, which had a winner's share of $4,300. The highest paying major at the time was the Masters with a winner's share of $20,000; Nicklaus had won $17,500 at the U.S. Open at Oakmont, which included a sizable $2,500 playoff bonus from the extra day's gate receipts, well-attended due to the presence of favorite son Palmer. At the time of his big Akron payday, the U.S. Open was Nicklaus' only tour victory as a rookie, but he won the next two events at Seattle ($4,300) and Portland ($3,500).

In 1963, Nicklaus won two majors, so a fourth player was added to the World Series via an 18-hole playoff between the three men who had lost playoffs in that year's majors; Palmer and Jacky Cupit in the U.S. Open and Phil Rodgers in the Open Championship. Palmer prevailed by five strokes in the August playoff. Nicklaus repeated as the World Series winner in September, one stroke ahead of Julius Boros, with Palmer in third and Bob Charles in fourth. The opposite tour event in 1963 was the Utah Open in Salt Lake City, with a winner's share of $6,400.

The first year with four players as reigning major champions was 1964, the first without Nicklaus. Tony Lema took the top spot, followed by Ken Venturi, Bobby Nichols, and Palmer. This was also the first year without a concurrent PGA Tour event.

In the final year of the four-man format in 1975, Tom Watson won with a two-stroke advantage over runner-up Nicklaus. The money was the same as in 1962, except that third place received $7,500, claimed by Tom Weiskopf. Nicklaus had won his second major of the year, the PGA Championship, at the same course a month earlier. In the fourteen editions of the event, Nicklaus played in ten, won four, and finished as runner-up in six.

In subsequent years, if one had won multiple majors, the alternate was the winner of the Western Open or Canadian Open.

The format of the four major winners in a 36-hole competition was later adopted by the PGA of America in 1979 for its PGA Grand Slam of Golf, last held in 2014.

From 1961 through 1976, Firestone also hosted the American Golf Classic on the South course. It was not played in the years of the PGA Championship (1960, 1966, 1975), and the final edition in 1976 was played on the par-72 North course, with the World Series on the South course the following week.

PGA Tour event
In 1976, it became a 72-hole, $300,000 PGA Tour event and its field was initially expanded to twenty; the victory and $100,000 winner's share went to Nicklaus. The largest first prize at a major that year was $45,000 at the PGA Championship.

The World Series of Golf quickly became a leading event on the tour. For many years a victory in it gave a 10-year exemption on the PGA Tour, the same as was granted for a victory in a major championship at that time, and twice as long as is given even for winning a major now. The field consisted of the winners of all the high status men's professional golf tournaments around the world in the previous twelve months.

The field was expanded in 1984 to include some international players, all tour event winners, and the top fifteen on the current money list, with 47 players eligible. The expansion wasn't well-received by all players, and a notable absence was Seve Ballesteros of Spain, who opted out.

Unofficial event
^ Third place was $5,000 in the first three editions (1962–64)

Merom Conference Center

The Merom Conference Center began as Union Christian College in 1859 and is now used as a camp and conference center for the Indiana-Kentucky Conference of the United Church of Christ (UCC). It is located in Merom, Indiana, on the Wabash River.

The Merom Conference Center is a member of the Outdoor Ministry Association, UCC.

History
Four years after the founding of the college, the main building, College Hall, was completed. The college operated until 1924 when financial requirements instituted by the State of Indiana could not be met. In 1935, Arthur Erastus Holt, President of Chicago Theological Seminary, envisioned the reopening of the facility as the Merom Institute, a center for rural enrichment. One year later, Dr. Holt’s vision became reality. Under the directorships of the Rev. Shirley Greene, Dr. Alan Jones, and others through the years, the Merom Institute grew as it provided ministry to the region until 1984 when the name was changed to the Merom Conference Center.

Facilities
College Hall, which received Historic Landmark status in 1982, is the centerpiece of the facility. Other buildings on the location include: Hatten Chapel and the Gymnasium built in 1919; nine cabins and the Dining Hall built in the late 30s and early 40s; four residences, one that is used as a retreat house, one that serves as the directors residence, one that is used as staff housing and one that stands vacant. A swimming pool built in 1957 completes the physical plant. The grounds are composed of 30 acres (120,000 m²) of lawn, flood-plain woods of 14 acres (57,000 m²), a wooded bluff area of 10 acres (40,000 m²) and 2 acres (8,000 m²) each of pine grove and restored prairie.

The Present
The Outdoor Ministries Committee of the Indiana-Kentucky Conference of the United Church of Christ provides for eight weeks of summer camp, conference wide youth events take place here several times a year, and a regional Emmaus and Chrysalis groups use the facilities 6 to 8 times a year. The rest of the schedule is filled in with church retreats, confirmation class retreats, work camps, men’s group retreats, women’s group retreats, youth group retreats and Outdoor Education.

I've lived in the United States all my life and I've NEVER heard this word used in this way. Sure, the 'water main broke' or the 'sewer main was clogged', but never just 'the mains supply my electricity'.
 * yeah i think that usage is generally seen in british english rather than american english (i dunno about other english speaking countries). Plugwash 23:36, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't believe us common folk here in the US have a word for this; the article suggests we do. The closest we come to naming it is to say something is running off AC power, like my laptop currently says "Current power source: AC power." That's...good enough for us. Another article mentioned "line power" and I suppose that's also something we might say. Sharprs 21:47, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

Actually AC mains is the common terminology globally in the engineering world, including "common folk" in North america

Gronings dialect

Gronings (Grunnegs or Grönnegs), is a collective name for some Low Saxon dialects spoken in the province of Groningen and around the Groningen border in Drenthe and Friesland. Gronings and the strongly related varieties in East Frisia have a strong East Frisian influence and take a remarkable position within West Low German. The dialect is characterized by a typical accent and vocabulary, which differ strongly from the other Low Saxon dialects.

Area
The name Gronings can almost be defined geographically, as can be seen on the map below. This is especially true for the northern part of Drenthe (number 8 on that map). Drents, spoken in the north of the province of Drenthe (Noordenveld) is somewhat related with the Groninger language, but the core linguistics is Drents. For the dialects in the southeast, called Veenkoloniaals, it is a bit different on both sides of the Groningen-Drenthe border, as the dialect spoken there is much more related to Gronings. In the easternmost part of the Frisian municipality of Noardeast-Fryslân, the western dialect called Westerkwartiers is also spoken, as well as a separate Groningen dialect called Kollumerpompsters. The latter is spoken in the Frisian village of Kollumerpomp and has more West Frisian influences, while most Groningen dialects have a strong influence from the East Frisian language.

Dialects
Gronings can be subdivided into eight dialects:

 * 1) Kollumerpompsters
 * 2) Westerkwartiers
 * 3) Stadjeders
 * 4) Hogelandsters
 * 5) Oldambtsters
 * 6) Westerwolds
 * 7) Veenkoloniaals
 * 8) Noord-Drents

Example
Though there are several differences between the dialects, they form a single dialect group. Most words are written the same way, but the pronunciation can differ. The examples show the pronunciation.

 * Westerkertiers: t Eenege dat wie niet doun is slik uutdeeln
 * Stadsgrunnegs (city): t Oinege dat wie noit doun is baaltjes oetdailn
 * Hoogelaandsters: t Ainege dat wie nait dudden is slik oetdijln
 * Westerwoolds: t Einege dat wie nich dun is slikkerij uutdeiln
 * Veenkelonioals: t Ainege wat wie nait dudden is slikke uutduiln
 * East Frisian Low Saxon: Dat eenzige, dat wi neet doon is Slickeree utdelen.
 * North German Low Saxon: Dat eenzige, dat wi nich doot, (dat) is Snabbelkraam uutdeeln.
 * Standard Dutch: Het enige wat we niet doen is snoep uitdelen.
 * Standard German: Das einzige, was wir nicht machen [="was wir nicht tun"], ist Süßigkeiten austeilen.
 * Scots: The anerly thing we dinnae dae is gie oot snashters.
 * English: The only thing we don't do is hand out sweets.

Classification
There are many uncertainties about the classification and categorization of Gronings. Some linguists see it as a variety of Low German, also called Nedersaksisch in the Netherlands. These words are actually more political than linguistic, because they unite a large group of very differing varieties. Categorizing Gronings as Low German could be considered correct, but there is controversy surrounding the existence of the linguistic unity of Low German.

Others, especially German linguists, see Gronings-East Frisian as a separate group of German dialects. The East Frisian influence, the sounds ou, ai and ui and the typical accent are crucial here. Other linguists categorize all Gronings-East Frisian dialects as North Low German. In that case, all the other Low German varieties in the Netherlands are categorized as Westphalian.

Dutch linguists in particular classify Gronings as Dutch Low Saxon. In this case the Dutch influence is crucial, while the dialects on the other side of the national border are strongly influenced by High German languages. These influences concern especially the vocabulary, like the Dutch word "voorbeeld" (example) which is "veurbeeld" in Gronings while the East Frisian dialects use "biespööl", which is related to the High German word "beispiel". In this case there is no separation between Groningen-East Frisian (or North Low Saxon) and Westphalian, but rather a difference between Groningen and East Frisian. The national border would equal the linguistic border.

Origin
The Gronings dialects are a kind of mix between two languages: Old Frisian (East Frisian) and Middle Low German. East Frisian was spoken in the Ommelanden (surrounding lands of the city of Groningen), while the city, the surrounding rural area called Gorecht and the eastern lordship of Westerwolde were Low Saxon. When the city of Groningen developed an important position in the Ommelanden, a switch from East Frisian to Saxon occurred, although it was not a complete switch because there are many East Frisian influences in the "new" Groningen language. Many East Frisian words and grammatic features are still in use today. In less than one century, the same process also started in East Frisia, from the city of Emden, which was influenced by the Hanseatic League. This explains the strong relation between both varieties.

In the second half of the 16th century Gronings started to evolve towards Middle Dutch because of the strong influence of the new standard language. But because of the political, geographical and cultural isolation of Groningen, a strong provincialism in the first half of the 19th century caused Gronings to develop itself in a significant way. The sounds that are used today were formed in this period.

Daily life
Today, according to an investigation among the listeners to the regional broadcasting station (Radio Noord), approximately 65% of them can speak and write Gronings. Perhaps, if the larger cities and villages of Groningen, Hoogezand-Sappemeer, Veendam, Stadskanaal, Delfzijl and Winschoten are excluded from this count, the percentage would rise to about 80%. Of course, this is not a representative picture of the linguistic capacity of the inhabitants of Groningen province. Most of the older people use Gronings as their main language. Until the second half of the 20th century, Gronings was more important in Groningen than Dutch. Younger people also speak the language, however in a regiolectical mixed way, because many pure Gronings words are lost. The youngest generation passed to Dutch. Since the second half of the 20th century, the usage of the language is declining. Because of globalization, other languages like Dutch and English are becoming more important. Parents today choose to raise their children in the Dutch language.

Media
In the media Gronings is used frequently. For example, on the local radio station Radio Noord, Gronings is used by the presenters and listeners. On local television Gronings is used less, but the weather forecast is always presented in Gronings. The news is always presented in Dutch, since not all viewers understand Gronings. In the second half of 2007, the local television broadcast a series in Gronings called Boven Wotter. Another program that is in and about Gronings is Grunnegers, which is actually some kind of education in Gronings.

Examples of Gronings magazines are Toal en Taiken (language and signs) and Krödde, which actually means cannabis.

There are many Gronings dictionaries as well. The first official dictionary was the "Nieuw Groninger Woordenboek" and was put together by Kornelis ter Laan. This dictionary and the writing system used in the book became the basics of each dictionary and writing system ever since.

More recent is "Zakwoordenboek Gronings – Nederlands / Nederlands – Gronings" by Siemon Reker, which is a little less specific. K. G. Pieterman wrote a dictionary of Gronings alliterations which is titled Gezondhaid en Groutnis (sanity and greetings).

Education and culture
Although Gronings, as part of Low Saxon, is an official language, it is not a mandatory subject in schools. Still, many primary schools in Groningen choose to give attention to the regional language. This attention varies from inviting storytellers to teaching about the language. In secondary schools Gronings does not receive much attention.

At the University of Groningen it is possible to study the language. In October 2007 Gronings became an official study within the faculty of letteren (language and literature).

Another possible way to learn Gronings is taking classes. In the last few years the trend of people taking courses has risen. More and more people, also people from outside who come to live in the area in which Gronings is spoken, are interested in the language and are willing to take courses. There are two types of courses. The first one is understanding and the second one is understanding and speaking.

Every year around March Het Huis van de Groninger Cultuur (English: House of the Groningen Culture) organises a writing contest in every municipality in Groningen. Everyone can participate and send in a poem or some prose. The winners of the different ages succeed to the provincial round.

Music
Notable Groningen musical artists include Wia Buze, Alje van Bolhuis, Alex Vissering, Eltje Doddema, Pé Daalemmer & Rooie Rinus, Burdy, Wat Aans!, Hail Gewoon, Erwin de Vries, and Ede Staal (†). Every year the supply of successful artists in regional languages in the Netherlands is rising.

Frisian substratum
Some linguists classify Gronings to North Low Saxon, to which also East Frisian Low Saxon belongs. Both related dialects are characterized by an East Frisian influence. Hence other linguists classify Gronings-East Frisian as a separate group of Northwest Low Saxon or Friso-Saxon dialects. The most important similarities are grammar features and the vocabulary. The most important differences are the writing system and the loanwords. The East Frisian writing system is based on High German while Gronings uses many Dutch features. For example, the word for “ice skate” is in Gronings “scheuvel” and in East Frisian “Schöfel”, while the pronunciation is almost alike. Here are a few examples of words compared to West Frisian, East Frisian Low Saxon, German, Dutch and English.

The East Frisian combination oo (for example in Bloot/Blood = blood) is pronounced like ow in the English word “now” ([aʊ]) ([blaʊt]; Gronings: blowd). In some parts of the Rheiderland they say blyowt, which is a leftover of Frisian in this area. The East Frisian combination aa (for example in quaad) is pronounced like a in the British English word “water” ([ɔː]). In Gronings this sound is written like oa. The word water would be written like “woatah” in Gronings. The pronunciation of the word “quaad” is similar to the Gronings word “kwoad”, which means “angry”. The East Frisian combination ee and eei (for example in neet) are pronounced like the y in the English word “fly” ([aɪ]) ([naɪt]; Gronings: nyt)*.

Linguistic distance from Standard Dutch
After Limburgish, Gronings is the dialect with the farthest distance from Standard Dutch. Reasons for this are vocabulary and pronunciation. The Gronings vocabulary is quite different from Dutch, for example:

 * Gronings: Doe hest n hail ìnde luu dij scheuvellopen kinnen, pronounced:
 * Dutch: Jij hebt heel veel werknemers (werklui) die kunnen schaatsen, pronounced:
 * English: You have a lot of employees who can ice skate

The pronunciation differs from the writing system. The -en ending of many words is pronounced like (ə or ən) in most varieties of Dutch. In Gronings and many other Low Saxon dialects these words are pronounced with a glottal stop, thus making the words ending in, or. The Groningen people speak quite fast compared to the Dutch people, with the result that a lot of words are pronounced together as one word.

Gronings is also a dialect with many unique expressions. One third of the language consists of these expressions. In the example sentence n hail ìnde is an example of those expressions. Many of these are given in the 'Nieuwe Groninger Woordenboek' by K. ter Laan published in 1977, (1280pp).

Because of this far distance from Standard Dutch and the official status of the neighbouring West Frisian, Gronings is considered as a separate language by some of its native speakers, while linguists consider it part of Dutch Low Saxon.

Consonants

 * // occurring before and after rounded vowels is pronounced as a labio-velar approximant //.
 * // only occurs in word-medial position, in word-initial position, it is always pronounced as //.
 * // may also be heard as voiceless [] in free variation.
 * Other word-final consonants occur as syllabic, as a variant of a schwa sound // before a consonant (e.g. [] ~ []).

Vowels

 * The starting point of varies from back  to front.

Example
Lord’s Prayer
 * Os Voader in Hemel, (litt. Our Father in Heaven)
 * dat Joen Noam haailegd worden zel, (litt. May Thy name be hallowed)
 * dat Joen Keunenkriek kommen mag, (litt. May Thy kingdom come)
 * dat Joen wil doan wordt (litt. May Thy will be done)
 * op Eerd net as in hemel. (litt. On earth, like in heaven)
 * t Stoet doar wie verlet om hebben (litt. The bread we need so badly)
 * geef os dat vandoag, (litt. give it to us today)
 * en reken os nait tou wat wie verkeerd doun, (litt. And do not blame us for the things we do wrong)
 * net zo as wie vergeven elk dij os wat aandut. (litt. As we forgive those who trespass against us)
 * En breng os nait in verlaaiden, (litt. And lead us not into temptation)
 * mor wil van verlaaider ons verlözzen. (litt. But deliver us from the tempter)
 * Den Joe binnen t Keunenkriek, (litt. Because Thou art the kingdom)
 * de Kracht en de Heerlekhaid. (litt. the Power and the Glory)
 * Veur in aiweghaid. (litt. For eternity)
 * Amen

Vocabulary
The Gronings vocabulary is strongly related to East Frisian Low Saxon, Saterfrisian and West Frisian. However, today the pure Gronings vocabulary is in decline. More and more Gronings words are being replaced by “Groningized” Dutch words. For example, the word “stevel” (boot, German “Stiefel”) is sometimes replaced by the word “leers” (Dutch “laars”). Although most people do know the pure words, they are less and less used, for example because people think others will not understand them or because they are too long and the Dutch word is much easier. An example of the latter is the word for sock, which is “Hozevörrel” in Gronings. The Dutch word “sok” is much easier, so it is more often used than hozevörrel.

Some often used Gronings words are listed below;

We could help fix this by including restuarants that have folded, as well as the ones that are still open? Melbourne, Australia is definitely closed. I also have visited the "Orange County", California store that isn't on this list.. Commking August 23, 2005

Redo of page

Schaumburg Illinois was NOT a restaurant
As surprising as it may seem that the once biggest mall in the US didn't have a restaurant, the truth is that it didn't.

Ark of the Covenant at San Francisco location?
I've heard over the years, that for a period of time after it first opened, the Planet Hollywood in San Francisco had the Ark of the Covenant prop from Raiders of the Lost Ark on display.

Talk:Luca Badoer

Template problem
There seems to be a problem with some driver pages where the Complete Formula One Results template has been applied, and it's that there always ends up being a large white unused space. This happens because of the shape of both templates and because one cannot be placed on top or under the other. Any pointers? Diego440 13:55, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

POV?
The tone of this article doesn't really feel very neutral. Maybe some of it should be rewritten/rephrased a little? For example:

"When Michael Schumacher broke his leg in an accident in Silverstone in July 1999, he thought it would be his great chance to demonstrate his excellence, but the team chose to run Mika Salo instead, a decision which former Ferrari driver Jean Alesi publically criticised."

Olympics
He did more than just rev the engine, he did a few doughnuts, making a large cloud of tire smoke and leaving expensive marks on the platform. Counterfit 04:42, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Active driver
Ive added a part saying that Luca and Rubens Barrichello are the only active drivers who have raced against Ayrton Senna. If hes testing then he is active so please do not change. 203.51.128.97 10:52, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure if it should stay in, if I'm honest. It's not entirely accurate for one thing: Rubens and Luca might be the only two drivers active in Formula One who raced against Senna, but there are plenty of people from that era who still race sports cars at one level or another: Mika Salo and Johnny Herbert are two that spring to mind. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.232.208.134 (talk) 13:57, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

What we are saying is active formula1 drivers. Of course theres plenty of active drivers that have raced against Ayrton Senna, but we are talking about Formula1.Pattav2 11:36, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Seriously, who cares about (the otherwise great) Senna in an article about Badoer! 145.120.12.72 (talk) 13:59, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Jake Humphrey
When Jake Humphrey from ITV knows a little more about the history of Formula One, he'll stop saying things like "Luca Badoer is the first person to qualify last in a Ferrari".

Cliff Allison, 1959 Dutch Grand Prix.

At least two drivers I know of have DNQed a Ferrari - Andretti at Monaco (not really his fault) and Scheckter in Canada 1980 when the car was too awful. Badoer would have easily qualified with the old 107% rule, so it's not the worst qualifying performance in a Ferrari. You can't believe everything that muppets tell you on the TV. Bretonbanquet (talk) 19:39, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * This isn't a general rant by the way, it's aimed at the IP editor who keeps adding Humphrey's quote to the article. Bretonbanquet (talk) 19:51, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

i'm prety sure he said first to qualify last in a ferrari on merit. in other words not penalties or accidents during qualifying.92.20.97.94 (talk) 18:00, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, still wrong. Bretonbanquet (talk) 21:33, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Current Driver Status?
In the beginning of the article, it reads [..]and is presently a test driver for the Ferrari team. However, he's presently driving for the Ferrari team, replacing Felipe Massa temporarily. Should this be edited? --Chrill (talk) 17:09, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I've changed it to test and reserve driver, because that is still his primary role. The next sentence clarifies his stand-in role for Massa. Bretonbanquet (talk) 17:12, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Robert R. Merhige Jr.

Robert Reynold Merhige Jr. (February 5, 1919 – February 18, 2005) was a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia who was known for his rulings on desegregation in the 1970s.

Education and career
Born February 5, 1919, in New York City, New York, Merhige attended High Point College in North Carolina and received a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Richmond School of Law in 1942. He later received a Master of Laws from the University of Virginia School of Law in 1982. He served in the United States Army Air Corps from 1942 to 1945, flying many missions in Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress bombers during World War II. He entered private practice in Richmond, Virginia from 1945 to 1967. He taught law at the Smithdeal-Massey School of Law from 1945 to 1948. He was vice president and general counsel for the Crass Coca-Cola Bottling Company from 1952 to 1955. He was a lecturer at the University of Virginia from 1968 to 1972. He was an adjunct professor at the University of Richmond School of Law from 1973 to 1976.

Federal judicial service
Merhige was nominated by President Lyndon B. Johnson on July 17, 1967, to a seat on the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia vacated by Judge John D. Butzner Jr. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on August 18, 1967, and received his commission on August 25, 1967. He was a member of the Judicial Conference of the United States from 1980 to 1985. He assumed senior status on November 30, 1986. He was a member of the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation from 1990 to 1998. His service terminated on June 8, 1998, due to his retirement.

Notable cases
Although the first stage of Massive Resistance to desegregation of Virginia's schools was over (which even included United States District Judge C. Sterling Hutcheson retiring from the bench rather than enforce Brown v. Board of Education), segregation remained. Early in his long judicial career, Merhige ordered dozens of Virginia's public school systems to desegregate, and for a time was considered the most hated man in Richmond—under 24-hour protection by the United States Marshals Service and with weekly protests at his home, his mother-in-law's cottage on his property was burned to the ground, and his dog tied up and shot dead. Black families moved into white urban neighborhoods in Richmond throughout the 1950s, 1960s, and by the 1970s white flight to suburbs in neighboring counties had left the Richmond city schools predominately black. In January 1972, Merhige ruled that students in Henrico and Chesterfield counties in Virginia would have to be bused to the Richmond city schools in order to decrease the high percentage of black students in Richmond's schools. Critics focused on Judge Merhige personally, including noting that his own children were enrolled in private school and thus unaffected by his order. One of Merhige's orders in that case was overturned by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals on June 6, 1972, barring most busing schemes that made students cross county/city boundaries, but not before influencing that year's presidential primary in Miami Beach, Florida. (Note: Since 1871, Virginia has had independent cities which are not politically located within counties, although some are completely surrounded geographically by a single county. This distinctive and unusual arrangement was pivotal in the Court of Appeals decision overturning Merhige's ruling). Merhige's courage and strength of character, as well as his preparation, courtesy, dedication to the rule of law and respect for the litigants before him ultimately turned that hatred into deep respect.

In 1970 Judge Merhige ordered the University of Virginia to admit women. He also clarified the rights of pregnant women to keep their jobs, and with United States Bankruptcy Judge Blackwell Shelley handled the complex products liability litigation and bankruptcy reorganization of the A. H. Robins Company concerning the Dalkon Shield. Moreover, by 1988, some noticed that Merhige was one of the federal judges with the lowest percentage (5%) of being overruled by appellate panels.

In 1968 Merhige ruled that the conflict in Vietnam was a war, whether or not it was a declared war, and denied the request of 96 Army reservists to avoid that combat. Judge Merhige also presided over the complex litigation concerning Allied Chemical's discharges of kepone and other chemicals into the James River, approving the creation of an environmental trust fund.

Merhige authored the ruling of the three federal judge panel that rejected the appeals of Watergate criminals G. Gordon Liddy, Bernard Barker, and Eugenio Martinez and upheld their criminal convictions for breaking into the office of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist.

Merhige presided over the Greensboro massacre trials of members of the Ku Klux Klan and American Nazi Party for killing Communist Workers Party members in 1979.

Retirement, death and legacy
Merhige retired from the federal bench on June 8, 1998, and joined the law firm of Hunton & Williams in Richmond with a practice focusing on mediation. Merhige died on February 18, 2005, at Virginia Commonwealth University Medical College of Virginia in Richmond after undergoing open heart surgery.

One recollection has him faithfully at a dry cleaners every Friday at the opening time of 8:00 am. Though the attendant was always late, he persisted, saying that, "Unbelievable, the control this woman has over a federal judge!"

In 2008, the new federal courthouse in Richmond (to which the district and bankruptcy courts and probation office moved) was named to honor Merhige and Spottswood Robinson III, who fought many desegregation battles in Virginia before also becoming a distinguished federal judge. In 1993, the building where they had practiced as lawyers and judges was renamed the Lewis F. Powell Jr. United States Courthouse, after their longtime friend and colleague. The United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit continues to use that National Historic Landmark building. The Center for Environmental Studies at the University of Richmond School of Law is named in his honor, as is the moot court room. The William Taylor Muse Law Library at the University of Richmond holds his papers in its special collections.

german born why is that relevant for this article, it sounds as if he was a german...u coudl write german speaking — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.234.229.59 (talk) 06:09, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

By the way, he was a Jew. http://www.jewornotjew.com/profile.jsp?ID=1049
 * Marcus was Jewish in ethnic sense, although he converted protestant after. He was born in Mecklenburg-Schwerin which became later a part of the German Empire. He never became Austrian / Austro-Hungarian citizen. In a letter Marcus wrote to his brother he described himself "philosophical German", what ever it means. Anyway, Marcus should be categorised rather German than Austrian.

 * Very little is known about this talented scientist compared to that how much is written about him. Many instances have patched with imagination their deficiencies in knowledge. Therefore all information about him should be treated with caution. --Gwafton (talk) 22:12, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

 * The catalogue for the 1873 Vienna International Exhibition should assist in determining the validity of some claims. A 1907 source refers to it containing a picture of his 1873 vehicle. NealeFamily (talk) 02:24, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
