Robert Walker (actor, born 1918)

Robert Hudson Walker (October 13, 1918 – August 28, 1951) was an American actor who starred as the villain in Alfred Hitchcock's thriller Strangers on a Train (1951), which was released shortly before his early demise.

He started in youthful boy-next-door roles, often as a World War II soldier. One of these roles was opposite his first wife, Jennifer Jones, in the World War II epic Since You Went Away (1944). He also played Jerome Kern in Till the Clouds Roll By. Twice divorced by 30, he suffered from alcoholism and mental illness, which were exacerbated by his painful separation and divorce from Jones.

Early life
Walker was born in Salt Lake City, Utah. Emotionally scarred by his parents' divorce when he was still a child, he subsequently developed an interest in acting, which led his maternal aunt, Hortense McQuarrie Odlum (then the president of Bonwit Teller), to offer to pay for his enrollment at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City in 1937. Walker lived in her home during his first year in the city.

Career and personal life
While attending the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, Walker met fellow aspiring actress Phylis Isley, who later took the stage name Jennifer Jones. After a brief courtship, the couple married in Tulsa, Oklahoma on January 2, 1939. Walker had some small unbilled parts in films such as Winter Carnival (1939) and two Lana Turner films at MGM: These Glamour Girls (1939) and Dancing Co-Ed (1939).

Walker and Jones' elder son Robert Walker Jr. later became a successful film actor. Their other son Michael Walker (1941-2007) was also an actor who appeared in films The Rogues (1964), Coronet Blue (1967) and Hell's Belles (1969), as well as several 1960s television series.

Radio
Walker costarred in the weekly radio show Maudie's Diary from August 1941 to September 1942. Isley then returned to auditioning and her luck changed when she was discovered in 1941 by producer David O. Selznick, who changed her name to Jennifer Jones and groomed her for stardom.

MGM
The couple returned to Hollywood, and Selznick's connections helped Walker secure a contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, where he started work on the war drama Bataan (1943), playing a sailor who fights in the Battle of Bataan.

He followed it with a supporting role in Madame Curie (1943).

Stardom
Walker's charming demeanor and boyish good looks proved popular with audiences, and he was promoted to stardom with the title part of the romantic soldier in See Here, Private Hargrove (1944).

He also appeared in Selznick's Since You Went Away (1944), in which he and his wife portrayed doomed young lovers during World War II. By that time, Jones' affair with Selznick was a matter of common knowledge, and Jones and Walker separated in November 1943 during production of the film. The filming of their love scenes was trying for Walker, as Selznick insisted that Walker perform multiple takes for each scene with Jones. She filed for divorce in April 1945. She and Selznick were married in 1949. Since You Went Away was one of the most financially successful movies of 1944, earning over $7 million.

Back at MGM, Walker appeared alongside Spencer Tracy and Van Johnson in Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo (1944), the story of the Doolittle Raid. He played flight engineer and turret gunner David Thatcher, and it was another box-office hit.

Walker starred as a GI preparing for overseas deployment in The Clock (1945), with Judy Garland playing his love interest in her second non-musical film.

He then appeared in a romantic comedy with Hedy Lamarr and June Allyson titled Her Highness and the Bellboy (1945). He next appeared in a second Private Hargrove film, What Next, Corporal Hargrove? (1945), and a romantic comedy with June Allyson, The Sailor Takes a Wife (1945).

Walker starred in the musical Till the Clouds Roll By (1946), in which he played the popular composer Jerome Kern. The film earned rental receipts of more than $6 million. He starred as composer Johannes Brahms in Song of Love (1947), which costarred Katharine Hepburn and Paul Henreid, but the film lost MGM more than $1 million. He also appeared in a film about the construction of the atomic bomb, The Beginning or the End (1946), which also resulted in a loss at the box office, and a Tracy-Hepburn drama directed by Elia Kazan titled The Sea of Grass (1947), which was profitable.

In 1948, Walker was borrowed by Universal to star with Ava Gardner in the film One Touch of Venus, directed by William A. Seiter. The film was a non-musical comedy adapted from a Broadway show with music by Kurt Weill. Walker married Barbara Ford, the daughter of director John Ford, in July 1948, but the marriage lasted only five months.

Back at MGM, Walker starred in two films that lost money, Please Believe Me (1950) with Deborah Kerr and The Skipper Surprised His Wife (1950) with Joan Leslie. More popular was Vengeance Valley (1951), a Western with Burt Lancaster.

Final years
In 1949, Walker spent time at the Menninger Clinic, where he was treated for a psychiatric disorder. Following his discharge, he was cast by director Alfred Hitchcock in Strangers on a Train (1951), for which he received acclaim for his performance as the charming psychopath Bruno Antony.

In his final film, Walker played the title role in Leo McCarey's My Son John (1952), a film that warned of the dangers of the virulent spread of communism. Despite the film's theme and Walker's identification as a Republican, he took the role to work with McCarey and costar Helen Hayes rather than because of any political motivation. Walker died before production finished, so angles from his death scene in Strangers on a Train were spliced into a similar melodramatic death scene near the end of the film.

Personal life
Walker was a registered Republican who supported Dwight Eisenhower's campaign in the 1952 presidential election, and was of the Mormon faith.

Death
On the night of August 28, 1951, Walker's housekeeper found him in an emotional state. She called Walker's psychiatrist Frederick Hacker, who arrived and administered amobarbital for sedation. Walker had allegedly been drinking before the outburst and it was believed that the combination of amobarbital and alcohol caused him to lose consciousness and stop breathing. Efforts to resuscitate him failed and he was pronounced dead shortly thereafter at the age of 32.

In her biography of Walker and Jones titled Star-Crossed, author Beverly Linet quoted Walker's friend Jim Henaghan (who was not mentioned in official accounts of the death), as saying that he was present at the events leading to Walker's death. Henaghan stated that he had visited Walker's house in Los Angeles, where they played cards and Walker was behaving normally. Henaghan claimed that Walker's psychiatrist arrived and insisted that he receive an injection and, when Walker refused, Henaghan restrained him in order for the physician to administer the injection. According to Henaghan, Walker soon lost consciousness and frantic efforts to revive him failed.

Walker was buried at Lindquist's Washington Heights Memorial Park in Ogden, Utah.

Dominion Chair Company

Dominion Chair Company is the wooden furniture manufacturing company that operated from 1860 to 1989 in Bass River, Nova Scotia, Canada.

History
In 1860, George and William Fulton, brothers and great-grandsons of the first settler of Bass River, "Judge" James Fulton, built a small sawmill in Bass River and began manufacturing chairs and other furniture. In 1870, the brothers disagreed about moving the business to Truro, and George wound up buying his brother's share of the company. George continued managing the business in Bass River, purchasing and merging with the Acadia Chair Factory to found a joint stock company in 1876, naming it Union Furniture and Merchandise Company.

Fires damaged the factory and halted production in 1885 and 1892, but the factory was rebuilt and business continued. The name Dominion Chair Company Limited was adopted in 1903. George Fulton's son, Suther B. Fulton, took over the business when his father retired in 1888.

Operations continued through at least four devastating fires and a large explosion. However, a final fire in 1989 damaged the factory irreparably. The company was struggling financially, and two failed attempts at securing government funding to construct a new factory led to the company declaring bankruptcy in 1991.

Historical site
The Dominion Chair Company General Store, built in 1890, still operates in Bass River as a store and historical site.

Talk:Dominion Chair Company

argument for keeping the article a part of wikipedia
the article this discussion concerns is admittedly of a limited geography, of interest to less to less than ten thousand people i would hazard to guess, almost all of which are in the northeast of north america. moreover, i support efforts made to have wikipedia as global as possible. nevertheless i would like to suggest three points on the topic of making the encyclopedia more global. the first is that the onus is on users from areas that are underrepresented in the encyclopedia to add to the areas they are informed in. beautifully, language is not a barrier to adding to this endeavour. if the anti-bias campaign is then addressed at the breadth of articles available in english, then i am in greater support of it and would gladly like to see the article i wrote eliminated, if there is simply not enough space in wikipedia for the article. is this the issue i wonder? if it is not than the second point i would like to offer is summed up in the addage, "the whole is the sum of the parts". the global context is a composite of copious interacting local contexts. a chair first bought in Bangor, Maine is obtained second-hand by a Korean tourist whose Iranian acquaintance wonders where about the chair's origins - or what have you. in 120 years of operation with 50+ workers at it, one would expect several occurrences of such an incidence. given the space, having such info on Wikipedia fully complies with its greater mandate of providing the whole of human knowledge availble for ready reference

Oops, incomplete edit summary
I just gave this article an overhaul, and accidentally hit enter as I was typing my edit summary. Oops.

I added sources, removed one questionable source, and removed unsourced information from the article (after attempting to locate sources). I've removed the templates, as I think all have been addressed. Anyone with local access to museums or other potential archives/collections may be able to expand this article, but I don't know if much else about this company can be found online.

Talk:George W. Bush's second term as President of the United States

Shoe throwing
The shoe throwing incident should not be under the "Assassination Attempt" section, since it was obviously not an attempt to assassinate Bush. Separate section? Karlchwe (talk) 04:07, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Inauguration
Where to begin? The entire section implies that there actually were proven irregularities that could (should?) have changed the vote in Ohio. It also implies that there really were serious questions about whether or not Bush would be president between November 2004 and January 2005. Among other things. --BaronLarf 04:07, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
 * I will do what I can to make it a real article.--MONGO 07:11, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * There actually were irregularities in the election, yes. The full extent of the irregularities are unknown, but concievable it may have changed the outcome in Ohio.  In fact, this was the claim of relief in a civil case filed by the The Alliance for Democracy on behalf of a group of voters in Ohio representing the voters in Ohio who were disenfranchised.  Insofar as this was a legitimate legal case, accepted by Ohio Supreme court as having sufficient merit to be tried, and insofar as the outcome of the court case, had it been settled by the deadline, could have affected the electoral votes from Ohio, to be counted on January 6th, there were "serious (and legitimate) questions" about whether or not Bush would be president, during said time period. Kevin Baastalk 03:06, 2005 Apr 8 (UTC)
 * It isn't conceivable based on anything except some serious inability to do simple math...there never were any serious questions...no more so than in any number of other elections throughout the history of the U.S. The issue should be eliminated or toned down a lot.--MONGO 06:09, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * You can spout your opinion as much as you like MONGO, but this is an encyclopedia of fact, not opinion. Here's some "simple math" for you: 260,000 > 118,000. Kevin Baastalk 15:53, 2005 Apr 8 (UTC)
 * Conspiracy theory.--MONGO 09:18, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

It looks like someone may have done some not-so-nice hacks to this page? The whole opening is not that good. It doesn't talk about the second term in the opening, all it contains is some assassination attempt. Here is the opening paragraph "During a visit to the Republic of Georgia on May 10, 2005 there was an attempt to assassinate Bush by Vladimir Arutinian, whose live grenade failed to detonate after hitting a girl and landing in the large crowd 19 meters from the podium where Bush was delivering a speech."

Comment about comments
I'm rather shocked the discussion page isn't one of the longest in Wiki. Just two short discussion topics and no reference to things being archived. I'm still new to Wiki, maybe I'm missing something.

Overall, I'm also suprised by how good the article is, with many many brief references to events that are linked for more detail. It doesn't sound like an output of the administrations public relations team and isn't a tacky assult by passionate dislikers. Kudos for Wiki, really, on this one.

While many may have thier own opinions about the president, this article is something I would refer my kids to for a homework assignment. That's a good thing to say about it.

Bptdude 15:43, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

That's because ALL the comments go on the discussion section of the main page. Check out the arhives there! Whew. As for the comment about it not sounding like a PR product, there's no way someone could cap the sheer editing, input, and attention that goes into an article like this. Truly a marvel. The more attention a subject/article gets, the more perfect it becomes. ~ Rollo44 10:38, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

removal of weasel and peacock tags
I removed the and  banners from the page. They take away from the obvious extensive work done on the page and cast doubt to its authenticity. I read through much of the page and didn't see much in the way of weasel and peacock. If they are there, then shouldn't each be commented and discussed on this discussion page, and then just edited to fix the page, instead of just complaining about the page?

I did notice that there were references to reports and sources not very specific. I would expect a specific name of a report be given that could be looked up on the official U.S. government web site http://www.firstgov.gov

Given the popularity of this topic and the historic nature, I suppose a higher standard of reference could be demanded, but the banners are trite and not in the spirit of Wiki.

Bptdude 16:17, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Especially at the time the banners were given, I think they may not have been much out of place if at all. I admit responsibility for any issues with my own edits, which have been numerous and extensive lately as I think this article deserves to be developed and unfortunately the article in recent months has not enjoyed expansive contributions from many Wikipedians. I spent several hours yesterday doing what I could in that time to address the problems; I think the article is significantly improved but could always use further help.  For that matter, I agree that the article should make better citations and should have more activity on its talk page to discuss future changes. Overall at this point I think the removal of the banners was merited, and that this article gives a fairly comprehensive and accurate summary of Bush's second term. Nothing is perfect but I do not think it is riddled with peacock or weasel terms. Minutiaman 20:53, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

This article should be removed
I have tried to start a discussion of removing this article as well as the first term article on the George W. Bush talk page. I believe the George W. Bush article should be the one article covering his presidency. Let's discuss it there: Talk: George W. Bush-JLSWiki 15:56, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The main article is already huge. If you take a look at it in edit view, you will see the recommendation to split it in different articles at the top. That is actually why I started this article. --The_stuart 15:16, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

The solution is most certainly not to fit the information back into the main page. The solution is to find the most appropriate and efficient way of subdividing the enormous amount of information pertaining to George W. Bush. We could have a discussion on how to better organize everything, if it's not organizationally optimized already. ~ Rollo44 10:43, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Article Coverup of drunken Cheney Shooting Incident
how cute that there is no mention of the lengths they went to coverup that Cheney was staggering drunk when he shot his friend as they stumbled out of the truck to shoot some birds. And that he was given a full day to sober up before being interviewed by the police. Bush and Cheney are both alcoholics, and the media covered for them for 8 years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.226.208.129 (talk) 11:42, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

The Path of Thorns (Terms)

The Path of Thorns (Terms) is a hit song by singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan from her album, Solace. A nearly 6-minute ballad, it is one of McLachlan’s longest compositions. It was her first top-forty chart hit in her native Canada, and the 50 millionth song purchased from the iTunes Store. The original music video for this song shows a couple dancing but is distinguished by the fact McLachlan was filmed performing the song nude.

Replaceable fair use Image:PartylineBW.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:PartylineBW.gif. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information.

 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Charles I Louis, Elector Palatine

Charles Louis, Elector Palatine (Karl I. Ludwig; 22 December 1617 – 28 August 1680), was the second son of Frederick V of the Palatinate, the "Winter King" of Bohemia, and of Elizabeth Stuart, Queen of Bohemia and sister of Charles I of England.

After living the first half of his life in exile during the German Thirty Years' War and the English Civil War, in 1649 Charles Louis reclaimed his father's title of Elector Palatine, along with most of his former territories.

Stuart and British politics
Charles Louis was baptised in March 1618 in the presence of the Prince of Sedan and Albertus Morton, who was the representative of the Prince of Wales. On the death of his exiled father in 1632, Charles Louis inherited his father's possessions in the Electorate of the Palatinate. His older brother Henry Frederick had died in the Netherlands in 1629.

Charles Louis and his younger brother Rupert spent much of the 1630s at the court of his maternal uncle, Charles I of England, hoping to enlist British support for his cause. Despite support from his mother's officials Curtius and Nethersole, the young Elector Palatine had limited success. He led an army of voluntaries from Britain (led by William Lord Craven) and the Palatinate (in alliance with Swedish forces under the command of the Scot Lieutenant General James King) at the Battle of Vlotho Bridge on 17 October 1638. Lord Craven, Prince Rupert and Colonel William Vavasour were captured after a rash charge by Prince Rupert (who tried to blame King). It is clear from the correspondence in the Swedish archives that King had managed to extract Charles Louis and his forces from the field and had them under his protection in Minden throughout October and November, a matter that caused much consternation to Field Marshal Banier who sowed rumours about King preferring the Elector's to Swedish service. This was something King forcefully rejected, although he did seek instruction as to how to deal with Charles Louis and his army. Thereafter after Charles Louis retired first to The Hague, and then to Britain. In November 1641, Charles Louis sat in the Scottish Parliament and secured the right to 10,000 Scottish Covenanter soldiers who were to follow him to Germany. Unfortunately the Irish Rebellion broke out and these forces were diverted to Ireland to protect the Protestant community there.

Charles Louis afterwards became gradually estranged from the King, who feared that Charles Louis might become a focus for opposition forces in England. Indeed, in the English crisis leading up to the outbreak of the English Civil War, Charles Louis had considerable sympathy for the parliamentary leaders, especially the Earl of Essex, feeling them more likely to come to the aid of the Palatinate on the continent. The Prince Palatine supported the execution of Strafford. Although Charles Louis was involved in the early stages of the Civil War with his uncle, he was mistrusted for his parliamentary sympathies, and soon returned to his mother in The Hague. There he distanced himself from the royalist (Cavalier) cause in the Civil War, fearing that Charles would sell him out for Spanish support.

In 1644, Charles Louis returned to England at the invitation of Parliament. He took up residence in the Palace of Whitehall and took the Solemn League and Covenant, even though his brothers, Rupert and Maurice, were Royalist generals. Contemporaries (including King Charles) and some in subsequent generations believed that Charles Louis's motive in visiting Roundhead London was that he hoped that Parliament would enthrone him in place of his uncle. Charles Louis's endorsement of the Parliamentary party was a cause of enmity between uncle and nephew, and when a captive Charles I met his nephew once again in 1647, the elder Charles accused the Prince of angling for the English throne. Charles Louis was still in England in October 1648 when the Peace of Westphalia restored the Lower Palatinate to him (the Upper Palatinate, to his great disappointment, remained under the Elector of Bavaria). He remained in England long enough to see the execution of his uncle in January 1649, which appears to have come as a shock. The two had not reconciled prior to the King's death – Charles refused to see his nephew before his execution.

Electorate
After this unhappy dénouement to Charles Louis's participation in English politics, he at last returned to the now devastated Electorate of the Palatinate in the autumn of 1649. Over the more than thirty years of his reign there, he strove with some success to rebuild his shattered territory. In foreign affairs, he pursued a pro-French course, marrying his daughter Elizabeth Charlotte to Philip I, Duke of Orléans, Louis XIV's brother, in 1671. After his restoration, his relations with his relatives continued to deteriorate. His British relations never forgave him for his course in the Civil War, while his mother and siblings resented his parsimony.

The most notable facet of his reign was probably his unilateral divorce of his wife, Charlotte of Hesse-Kassel, and subsequent marriage to Marie Luise von Degenfeld. This second wife was given the unique title of Raugravine (Raugräfin, countess of uninhabited or uncultivated lands), and their children were known as the Raugraves.

Ricky Proehl

Richard Scott Proehl (born March 7, 1968) is an American former professional football player who was a wide receiver in the National Football League (NFL). Proehl played 17 seasons with the Phoenix/Arizona Cardinals, Seattle Seahawks, Chicago Bears, St. Louis Rams, Carolina Panthers, and Indianapolis Colts. He played in four Super Bowls and won two: Super Bowl XXXIV with the Rams and Super Bowl XLI with the Colts. He is remembered as a member of "The Greatest Show on Turf".

After his playing career, Proehl was an assistant coach for the Carolina Panthers through the 2016 season. He returned to the Super Bowl as a coach with the Panthers in 2016. He recently served as the wide receivers coach for the St. Louis BattleHawks of the United Football League (UFL).

High school
Proehl graduated in 1986 from Hillsborough High School in Hillsborough, New Jersey, where he starred in both football and baseball. During his senior season in football, he caught 42 passes for 900+ yards and 13 touchdowns. For his efforts that year, he was named a New York All-Metro selection, the Somerset County Player of the Year, and an All-State pick.

College career
Proehl played college football at Wake Forest University, where he was a four-year letterman in football. He holds the school record for receiving yards (2,949 yards), and touchdowns (25), as well as ranking in the top five in receptions and receiving average. He ended his college career playing in the Blue–Gray Football Classic and the East-West All-Star Game.

Professional career
Proehl was taken in the third round (58th overall) of the 1990 NFL draft. He set the Cardinals rookie record for receptions and became the first rookie to lead the team in receptions since Bob Shaw in 1950. He played four more seasons for the Cardinals before being traded to the Seattle Seahawks for a draft pick. He spent two seasons with the Seahawks, playing as a backup and accepting a pay cut. He then signed with Chicago for one year, and led the team in receiving categories with 58 receptions, 753 yards, and 7 touchdowns.

Proehl signed with the Rams for the start of the 1998 NFL season on a four-year $6 million contract. As part of "The Greatest Show on Turf", he helped lead the Rams to a championship in the 1999 season at Super Bowl XXXIV, catching a 30-yard pass from Kurt Warner with 4:44 remaining in the NFC Championship that gave them a 11–6 lead; the Rams held on to win the game and advance to the Super Bowl. He caught six passes for 100 yards in that game, which was his best postseason performance in his career. In the Super Bowl, he caught one pass for eleven yards. Two seasons later, he helped the Rams reach Super Bowl XXXVI against the New England Patriots. He caught three passes for 71 yards while also losing a fumble with a touchdown, which tied the game at 17 late in the fourth quarter before the Patriots rallied to win the game. He spent one more season with the Rams in 2002. Before the game, Proehl, extremely confident that the Rams would win, said to an NFL films camera crew "Tonight, a dynasty is born, baby!" While a dynasty was born that day, it kickstarted the Patriots Dynasty and marked the end of the greatest show on turf era.

Proehl then signed with Carolina as a free agent at the start of the 2003 season. With Carolina, he caught five combined passes in the subsequent postseason run by the Panthers to Super Bowl XXXVIII, but four of them were in the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots, which included a touchdown catch with 1:08 remaining to tie the game at 29. However, the Patriots rallied to win the game on a last-second field goal. He was talked out of retirement for a 16th season by Panther quarterback Jake Delhomme and coach John Fox. Proehl retired and worked as a color analyst with the Rams' television pre-season games and the Rams radio network on various shows and pre-games. On November 29, 2006, Proehl came out of retirement to join the Indianapolis Colts, replacing injured WR Brandon Stokley, and helping them to a victory in Super Bowl XLI.

Coaching career
Proehl was hired by the Carolina Panthers on February 1, 2011, as an Offensive Consultant. He was hired to primarily work with the wide receivers. He was Pro Football Focus's second runner up in their Wide Receiver Coach of the Year award.

In the 2015 season, Proehl and the Panthers reached Super Bowl 50 on February 7, 2016. The Panthers fell to the Denver Broncos by a score of 24–10.

Proehl was hired as wide receivers coach by the St. Louis Battlehawks on September 13, 2022. One of the players whom he coaches with the Battlehawks is his son Austin Proehl. He did not return in 2024.

Super Bowl statistics

 * Super Bowl XXXIV: 1 reception, 11 yards – St. Louis 23, Tennessee 16
 * Super Bowl XXXVI: 3 receptions, 71 yards, 1 touchdown – New England 20, St. Louis 17
 * Super Bowl XXXVIII: 4 receptions, 71 yards, 1 touchdown – New England 32, Carolina 29
 * Proehl did not catch a pass in Super Bowl XLI.

Achievements
Proehl is known for his role in three memorable playoff games:
 * As a member of the Rams in the 1999 NFC Championship Game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Proehl recorded six receptions for 100 yards and caught the game-winning touchdown pass with 4:44 to play. The Rams won 11–6 and went on to win the Super Bowl.
 * Two years later, in Super Bowl XXXVI against the New England Patriots, with the Rams trailing 17–10, Proehl caught a touchdown pass with 1:30 to play to tie the game, but the Patriots won on a last-second field goal by Adam Vinatieri, 20–17.
 * Two years after that, in Super Bowl XXXVIII against New England, this time as a member of the Panthers, Proehl again caught a touchdown pass with 1:08 remaining in the fourth quarter to tie the game. However, the Patriots won the game on another last-second field goal by Vinatieri, 32–29.
 * Proehl and Vinatieri became teammates in Indianapolis and were part of the Colts team that won Super Bowl XLI.

Personal life
Proehl and his wife, Kelly, live in Greensboro, North Carolina. The couple have three children: one daughter named Alex, and two sons named Austin and Blake. Austin played wide receiver at the University of North Carolina. He was selected in the 2018 NFL draft by the Buffalo Bills as the 255th overall pick, and is currently a wide receiver with the St. Louis BattleHawks of the UFL, where he is coached by his father. Blake played wide receiver for East Carolina University, and was signed as an undrafted free agent to the Minnesota Vikings.

Proehl owns, manages, and coaches at Proehlific Park, which is a sports performance complex and fitness center he built in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Marlene Weingärtner (born 30 January 1980) is a retired tennis player from Germany. She is a former top 40 player in both singles and doubles.

Career
The most remarkable moment of her career was her first-round match at the 2003 Australian Open when she defeated there the defending champion Jennifer Capriati. Capriati led the encounter 6–2, 4–1, but Weingärtner fought back and won by a 2–6, 7–6, 6–4 scoreline. She eventually reached the third round.

Her best Grand Slam showings were two fourth-round appearances, the first in Melbourne 2002, the latter at the 2004 French Open. In 2004, she also reached her only WTA Tour final in Bali which she lost in straight sets to Svetlana Kuznetsova.

Playing for Germany in the Fed Cup, she has a win–loss record of 2–3.

Weingärtner retired after the 2005 US Open, after suffering several first-round losses due to ongoing physical problems. She made a brief return in July 2008 to play the doubles event of the Gastein Ladies tournament where she partnered Sandra Klemenschits, losing in the quarterfinals to Xu Yifan and Zhang Shuai.

Alfred Gudeman

Alfred Gudeman (August 26, 1862 – 9 September 1942) was an American-German classical scholar.

Biography
He was born in Atlanta, Georgia and graduated from Columbia University in 1883 and studied under Johannes Vahlen and Hermann Diels at the University of Berlin. From 1890 to 1893 he was reader in classical philology at Johns Hopkins University, from 1893 to 1902 professor in the University of Pennsylvania, and from 1902 to 1904 professor in Cornell University.

He wrote Latin Literature of the Empire (2 vols., Prose and Poetry, 1898–1899), a History of Classical Philology (1902) and Sources of Plutarchs Life of Cicero (1902); and edited Tacitus' Dialogus de oratoribus (text with commentary, 1894 and 1898) and Agricola (1899; with Germania, 1900), and Sallust's Catiline (1903). In 1904 he became a member of the corps of scholars preparing the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae, a unique distinction for an American Latinist, as was the publication of his critical edition, with German commentary, of Tacitus' Agricola in 1902 by the Weidmannsche Buchhandlung of Berlin.

Gudeman married a German woman and, in 1917, received German nationality. Even after the seizure of power by the National Socialists, Gudeman remained in Germany. His son Theodore emigrated to Indiana in 1937, but Gudeman himself remained. He was classified as a Jew and deported to the Nazi Theresienstadt concentration camp, where he died in 1942.

Little Bass River, Nova Scotia

Little Bass River is a sub-community in Colchester County, Nova Scotia, Canada. It forms the western portion the community of Bass River.

"Little Bass" as it is known locally, stretches along Trunk 2 from "Chipman's Hollow" in Bass River west to the neighbouring jurisdiction of Upper Economy, and north until it reaches the former community of Pleasant Hills. It takes its name from the river that meanders down from the Cobequid Hills, near Pleasant Hills Road, and empties into the Cobequid Bay between Starratt Road and Minas King Drive.

Little Bass today
The year-round population of approximately 60 residents doubles in amount in the summer months when seasonal cottages are occupied.

The local economy employs residents in agriculture, landscaping, retail, auto repair, forestry, and blueberry production. Little Bass River is home to a growing population of retirees.

History
The economy was traditionally focused on forestry, including harvesting various species of coniferous trees such as black spruce, red spruce, white spruce, balsam fir, and juniper, as well as several hardwood species such as poplar, silver maple, paper birch, and speckled alder.

During the height of industrial activity at the turn of the 20th century, Little Bass had an active timber harvest feeding a busy saw mill, as well as a shipping wharf for exporting timber and a general store.

Local shipbuilders constructed wood sailing ships, of which 8 vessels measured 100–300 feet in length, these being:

 * Goldstream in 1874 (schooner)
 * Compier in 1874 (half brig)
 * Cashier in 1876 (double decker)
 * Depositor in 1884 (double decker)
 * Florence L.
 * M.J. Kenny
 * Modoc
 * Minas King in 1918 (schooner)

The first inhabitants were nearly entirely of Ulster Scottish origins; their surnames included Creelman, Fulton, Lewis, O'Brien, Starratt or Starrit, and Wilson.

Pitjantjatjara

The Pitjantjatjara ( or ) are an Aboriginal people of the Central Australian desert near Uluru. They are closely related to the Yankunytjatjara and Ngaanyatjarra and their languages are, to a large extent, mutually intelligible (all are varieties of the Western Desert language).

They refer to themselves as Anangu (people). The Pitjantjatjara live mostly in the northwest of South Australia, extending across the border into the Northern Territory to just south of Lake Amadeus, and west a short distance into Western Australia. The land is an inseparable and important part of their identity, and every part of it is rich with stories and meaning to aṉangu.

Pronunciation
The ethnonym Pitjantjatjara is usually pronounced (in normal, fast speech) with elision of one of the repeated syllables -tja-, thus: pitjantjara. In more careful speech all syllables will be pronounced.

Etymology
The name Pitjantjatjara derives from the word pitjantja, a nominalised form of the verb "go" (equivalent to the English "going" used as a noun). Combined with the comitative suffix -tjara, it means something like "pitjantja-having" (i.e. the variety that uses the word pitjantja for "going"). This distinguishes it from its near neighbour Yankunytjatjara which has yankunytja for the same meaning. This naming strategy is also the source of the names of Ngaanyatjarra and Ngaatjatjarra but in that case the names contrast the two languages based on their words for "this" (respectively, ngaanya and ngaatja). The two languages Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara may be grouped together under the name Nyangatjatjara (indicating that they have nyangatja for "this") which then contrasts them with Ngaanyatjarra and Ngaatjatjarra.

Language
Pitjantjatjara language is used as a general term for a number of closely related dialects which together, according to Ronald Trudinger were "spoken over a wider area of Australia than any other Aboriginal language". With Yankunytjatjara it shares an 80% overlap in vocabulary.

Some major communities
See WARU community directory for a complete list
 * in South Australia type 2
 * in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara, including:
 * Ernabella also called Pukatja
 * Amata
 * Kalka
 * Pipalyatjara
 * Yalata
 * Oak Valley
 * In the Northern Territory
 * Docker River
 * Areyonga
 * Mutitjulu
 * In Western Australia
 * Wingellina also called Irruntju

History
From 1950 onwards, many aṉangu were forced to leave their traditional lands due to British nuclear tests at Maralinga. Some aṉangu were subsequently contaminated by the nuclear fallout from the atomic tests, and many have died as a consequence. Their experience of issues of land rights and native title in South Australia has been unique. After four years of campaigning and negotiations with government and mining groups, the Pitjantjatjara Land Rights Act 1981 was passed on 19 March 1981, granting freehold title over 103,000 km2 of land in the northwestern corner of South Australia.

Recognition of sacred sites
The sacred sites of Uluru / Ayers Rock and Kata Tjuṯa / Mount Olga possess important spiritual and ceremonial significance for the Anangu with more than 40 named sacred sites and 11 separate Tjukurpa (or "Dreaming") tracks in the area, some of which lead as far as the sea. Uluru / Ayers Rock and Kata Tjuta / Mount Olga are separated from the Pitjantjatjara lands by the border between the Northern Territory and South Australia and have become a major tourist attraction and a national park.

Elixir of life

The elixir of life (Medieval Latin: ' ), also known as elixir of immortality''', is a potion that supposedly grants the drinker eternal life and/or eternal youth. This elixir was also said to cure all diseases. Alchemists in various ages and cultures sought the means of formulating the elixir.

Ancient Mesopotamia
An early mention of an elixir of life is found in the Epic of Gilgamesh (from the 2nd millennium BC) in which Gilgamesh comes to fear his own declining years following the death of his beloved companion Enkidu. He seeks out Utnapishtim, a Noah-like figure in Mesopotamian mythology in which he was a servant of the great Alchemist of the rain who later became immortal, to seek out the advice of the King of Herod of the Land of Fire. Gilgamesh is directed by him to find a plant at the bottom of the sea which he does but seeks first to test it on an old man before trying it himself. Unfortunately, it is eaten by a serpent before he can do so.

China
Many rulers of ancient China sought the fabled elixir to achieve eternal life. During the Qin dynasty, Qin Shi Huang sent Taoist alchemist Xu Fu to the eastern seas with 500 young men and 500 young women to find the elixir in the legendary Penglai Mountain, but returned without finding it. He embarked on a second voyage with 3000 young girls and boys, but none of them ever returned (legend has it that he found Japan instead).

The ancient Chinese believed that ingesting long-lasting mineral substances such as jade, cinnabar, or hematite would confer some of that longevity on the person who consumed them. Gold was considered particularly potent, as it was a non-tarnishing precious metal; the idea of potable or drinkable gold is found in China by the end of the third century BC. The most famous Chinese alchemical book, Danjing yaojue ("Essential Formulas of Alchemical Classics") attributed to Sun Simiao (c. 581 – c. 682 AD), a famous medical specialist respectfully called "King of Medicine" by later generations, discusses in detail the creation of elixirs for immortality (including several toxic ingredients such as mercury, sulphur, and arsenates), as well as those for curing certain diseases and the fabrication of precious stones.

Many of these substances, far from contributing to longevity, were actively toxic and resulted in Chinese alchemical elixir poisoning. The Jiajing Emperor in the Ming dynasty died from ingesting a lethal dosage of mercury in the supposed "Elixir of Life" conjured by alchemists.

India

Amrita, the elixir of life, has been described in Hindu scriptures. In the Puranas, that due to the defeat of the devas at the hands of the asuras, both power-seeking races, the preserver deity Vishnu asked the devas to churn the ocean of milk, so that they may retrieve amrita to empower themselves.

Mercury, which was so vital to alchemy everywhere, is first mentioned in the 4th- to 3rd-century BC Arthashastra, about the same time it is encountered in China and in the West. Evidence of the idea of transmuting base metals to gold appears in 2nd- to 5th-century AD Buddhist texts, about the same time as in the West.

It is also possible that the alchemy of medicine and immortality came to China from India, or vice versa; in any case, for both cultures, gold-making appears to have been a minor concern, and medicine the major concern. But the elixir of immortality was of little importance in India (which had other avenues to immortality). The Indian elixirs were mineral remedies for specific diseases or, at the most, to promote long life.

Islamic world
See Al Khidr.

Europe
In European alchemical tradition, the elixir of life is closely related to the creation of the philosopher's stone. According to legend, certain alchemists have gained a reputation as creators of the elixir. These include Nicolas Flamel and St. Germain. A work by Michael Scot speaks of gold as an elixir of life.

Japan
In the 8th century AD Man'yōshū, 'waters of rejuvenation' (変若水) are said to be in the possession of the moon god Tsukuyomi. Similarities have been noted with a folktale from the Ryukyu Islands, in which the moon god decides to give man the water of life (sïlimizï), and serpents the water of death (sïnimizï). However, the person entrusted with carrying the pails down to Earth gets tired and takes a break, and a serpent bathes in the water of life, rendering it unusable. This is said to be why serpents can rejuvenate themselves each year by shedding their skin while men are doomed to die.

Names
The Elixir has had hundreds of names (one scholar of Chinese history reportedly found over 1,000 names for it), among them Kimia, Amrit Ras or Amrita, Aab-i-Hayat, Maha Ras, Aab-Haiwan, Dancing Water, Chasma-i-Kausar, Mansarover or the Pool of Nectar, Philosopher's stone, and Soma Ras. The word elixir was not used until the 7th century A.D. and derives from the Arabic name for miracle substances, "al iksir". Some view it as a metaphor for the spirit of God (e.g., Jesus's reference to "the Water of Life" or "the Fountain of Life"). "But whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." (John 4:14) The Scots and the Irish adopted the name for their "liquid gold": the Gaelic name for whiskey is uisce beatha, or water of life.

“Kimia” is from Ancient Greek language and used in old Persian literature, in which it means something that transforms and brings life. Aab-i-Hayat is Persian and means "water of life". "Chashma-i-Kausar" (not "hasma") is the "Fountain of Bounty", which Muslims believe to be located in Paradise. As for the Indian names, "Amrit Ras" means "immortality juice", "Maha Ras" means "great juice", and "Soma Ras" means "juice of Soma". Later, Soma came to mean the Moon. "Ras" later came to mean "sacred mood experienced listening to poetry or music"; there are altogether nine of them. Mansarovar, the "mind lake" is the holy lake at the foot of Mount Kailash in Tibet, close to the source of the Ganges.

In popular culture
The elixir of life has been an inspiration, plot feature, or subject of artistic works including animation, comics, films, musical compositions, novels, and video games. Some examples are L. Frank Baum's fantasy novel John Dough and the Cherub, the science fiction series Doctor Who, Natalie Babbitt's 1975 novel Tuck Everlasting and its film adaptation, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, House of Anubis, The Puppet Master, the manga Fullmetal Alchemist and Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku, the light novel Baccano!, the movie Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva of the Professor Layton franchise, the horror film As Above, So Below and the series of video games Touhou Project.

Alcinda Abreu

Alcinda António de Abreu (born 13 October 1953) is a Mozambican politician. She was Minister of Foreign Affairs of Mozambique from 2005 to 2008, having previously been the Minister of Social Welfare. She most recently served as Minister of the Environment. She has worked to increase the role of women in climate change.

Life and career
Alcinda António de Abreu was born in 1953 in Mozambique. She was active in the Mozambique Youth Association and served as its Deputy Secretary-General in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Abreu was Minister of Social Welfare from 1994 to 1997. Abreu was appointed by FRELIMO as a member of the National Elections Commissions (CNEs) responsible for organizing the 1998 municipal elections and the 1999 general election. At FRELIMO's 2002 congress, she was elected to the party's 15-member Political Committee.

She was appointed as Minister of Foreign Affairs by President Armando Guebuza on February 3, 2005, when Guebuza named his new government shortly after taking office. Later that year, she visited José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission.

Following a cabinet reshuffle on March 10, 2008, she was reassigned to the post of Minister of the Environment; and was sworn in 17 days later on March 27. She commissioned a national strategy for the impact of climate change on women within Mozambique, the first time such a strategy had been devised anywhere in the world. She explained that societies need to adapt their plans to allow women in rural areas to become involved in climate change work, because of the impact this has on subsistence farming.

Boca Burger

Boca Burger is a veggie burger produced by Kraft Heinz in Chicago, Illinois. Like all of Boca Foods' products, Boca Burgers serve as a meat alternative.

History
The Boca Foods Company began in 1979 with the vegetarian "Sun Burger" product, as one of the first frozen, plant-based burger replacement products. Over the next decade, more burgers were introduced, as well as meatless versions of ground beef, chicken nuggets, various toppings on pizza, chili, lasagna, and sausages. Organic versions of some Boca products appeared in 2001.

Then Kraft Foods, the United States' largest packaged foods company, announced in early 2000 that it had reached agreement to purchase Boca Burger, Inc., a privately held manufacturer and marketer of soy-based meat alternatives. The announcement was made when Kraft Foods was represented by Gordon James and Clifford A. Wolff. The products are sold in the United States through retail grocery and club stores, natural foods stores and food service channels nationwide. Boca Burger, based in Chicago, Illinois, had 1999 revenues of about $40 million, almost double the previous year. By 2002, sales had grown to $70 million per year.

As of April 2020, Boca also offers meatless skillet meals.

Beer can pyramid

A beer can pyramid, often called a beeramid as a portmanteau, is a pyramid made from discarded beer cans. Beer can pyramids are built as empty beer cans became available, slowly growing as the night (or week or month) wears on. In most cases, though, they are temporary structures, eventually being cleaned up or accidentally knocked over.

On 23 September 2000, the Malaysian Can team, consisting of 12 college students from the INTI College Subang Jaya, Malaysia built a free standing can pyramid created from 9,455 empty aluminium drink cans in 24 minutes at the Mid Valley Megamall in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It had a square base of 30 × 30 cans, measuring 1.98 m × 1.98 m (6 ft 6 in × 6 ft 6 in). This feat made a successful entry into the Guinness World Record and to-date this record has yet to be broken.

Another attempt to break the world record Beer Can Pyramid was made with beer cans over 5 metres high and contained 10,660 cans. It was built by the Melbourne University Student Union in 2005, and was featured on Blokesworld and in mX.

A beer can pyramid was shown on the outside of Duff Gardens in The Simpsons episode 9F11 "Selma's Choice", in 1993, as a parody of Cinderella's Castle at Walt Disney World.

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Anne Frank

Anne Frank
Self nomination. This has been on Peer Review for several weeks, and has been reworked in line with some of the comments made about it there, and also on the Talk:Anne Frank page. I think it's now ready for consideration. Rossrs 06:44, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. 119 07:04, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Support This is a terrific piece of research and writing. One point: I'd like to see a brief explanation as to why the men in 1959 and later in 1980 were charged for saying the diary was a fake, because many readers may not know the background, and perhaps a link to an article about the 1980 trial. Also, the link to the article examining the authenticity issue (An article on the diary's authenticity by Theresien da Silva of the Anne Frank House) seems to be broken. SlimVirgin 08:07, Feb 5, 2005 (UTC)
 * thanks. I'll work on those points. Rossrs 08:28, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * have fixed the link. Took information from that article to expand on the point about the legal cases, and therefore moved the link from "external links" to "references". The article discusses various cases including the 1980 case, in reasonable detail, so by coincidence this addresses your suggestion for a link :-)  Broke this section into two subsections.Rossrs 09:42, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Support Very comprehensive, but I wished the part that is mentioned about her death is more distinguish from the main body of the text. Squash 11:19, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * thanks. I don't think the death section needs to be highlighted, any more than the death sections of any other biography where the subject is dead. In fact it's given more mention I suppose than most people who just die a natural death. I don't know what else I could add. Rossrs 18:04, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Support I came across that article a few days ago, and it struck me as being very good. I was convinced it was already featured. Phils 13:48, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Support but I have a question. This article is categorized as "Dutch writers" but according to informations from Japanese article, Anne Frank became a Stateless person after leaving Germany. Also according to it, the judicial branch of Netherland ruled on October 4, 2004 that it could not give the nationality posthumously. So by her being born in Germany, shouldn't the article be also categorized as "German writers"? Revth 17:04, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I'd be uncomfortable classing her as a German writer, because she categorized herself as Dutch, rejected the notion that she was German, refused to speak German except when she had to, and was murdered by Germans who didn't think she was German. If anything she could also go into Jewish writers (there is no category of that name at the moment) but I think she should stayed Dutch writers. Rossrs 18:04, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Okay. Thank you. Revth 04:44, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Support. good coverage, but who are these "Aryan citizens" you mention? pamri 17:27, Feb 5, 2005 (UTC)
 * The source information I worked with uses the term "Aryan" frequently. I'm sure you realize the intention, as you haven't asked me who the Catholics or Protestants were, and they are also mentioned in the same sentence without me providing their names or addresses.  I would like to leave the word Aryan stay as it is, and it's not because I mean it to be offensive.  I understand it has racist connotations, and that is the whole point.  I would hope anyone reading it who does not know what the word means would click on it to see it's meaning, and most importantly to see what the word meant during Anne Frank's lifetime. I think it's important to remember that she died, not just because she was Jewish but because she was not Aryan.  The Nazi's yardstick, same reason the Roma and the Sinta were killed, they weren't Aryan.  I think mentioning it early is ok too, just shows that the average Aryan didn't mind having Anne Frank in their neighborhood. Then again, you know if it really bothers you, you're at liberty to change it yourself, as is anybody.  It's just that I think the word is more meaningful and specific than any alternative I can think of. Thanks for mentioning it and I'm glad you liked it apart from that. Rossrs 18:04, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Support. Excellent article.  --L33tminion | (talk) 22:04, Feb 5, 2005 (UTC)
 * Support: user has done extensive revisions from feedback from peer review. Excellent article! - Ta bu shi da yu 04:00, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Support. Superb. Ambi 09:08, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Support, very well done. Dsmdgold 15:56, Feb 6, 2005 (UTC)
 * Support - good article Brookie 16:36, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Support. Nicely done. GeorgeStepanek\talk  01:50, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Delightful article, but Oppose temporarily, fix the following: see more specific objection below.
 * Consistency in naming. "Anne" turns into "Frank" and back.  Stick with one throughout, even the full name every time if you must, and refer to other members of the family accordingly.
 * +sj +  05:07, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * have fixed. the consistency I opted for was first name only when discussing her in her family setting, or on a "personal" level, and full name when referring to her formally. there are no examples of anyone being referred to as just "Frank" now. Rossrs 09:15, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Better now.

 * Odd... I first looked at the page a day earlier, and though I had saved a different version of comments (including the comment below); sorry to those whose comments got overwritten! +sj +
 * Distinction b/t Anne Frank's biography and discussion of the book. Personally I would prefer to see a proper article at Diary of a Young Girl (currently a redir to Anne Frank), with sections just on the book and its analysis/critics moved out of the biography.  But it would also be fine to have everything about the book in a separate top-level section (then analysis, questions of validation/verification, different editions... would all be subsections of that section).  Right now #Legacy is sandwiched between two sections about the book.  +sj  +  09:31, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I think we're viewing this article from completely different perspectives, so here is mine. In all the dozens upon dozens of websites I looked at researching this article, I was struck by the fact that the compete story is not told on one single page anywhere. (If it exists I couldn't find it). Everything seems hone in on one aspect, often in excessive detail, but to get the whole picture requires quite a bit of jumping about, and sifting through a lot of trivia. So the thing that pleases me most about this article is that it is very different to what else is available, because it covers all the (what I think are) relevant points in one place, and I think in enough detail to satisfy anyone wanting a good overview, without delving into details that cater more to obsessed fans, or triviaholics. To branch out into separate articles would undo this and create either 1. separate, small, non noteworthy articles, or 2. separate articles that eventually grow to include all the trivia and superfluous detail that I tried to weed out.  Just so you know where I'm coming from, this is why I consciously avoided creating a page for the diary itself.
 * I can see "Legacy" was sandwiched. I've followed your second suggestion and rearranged the text somewhat to keep the discussion of the diary together, and have reworked the headings.  The article now ends on a negative note - ie criticism of Anne Frank Fonds, but I couldn't see another way of doing it.  Is this basically the format you were suggesting?  Rossrs 13:37, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * more editing, disregard my comment about ending on a negative note. The previous edit was jarring but has been fixed. Rossrs 13:18, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks, that bit looks great now. +sj  +  03:59, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Better, and much better text overall, but still Object Support; better division. I can't think of a case in which a biography of the author should be the only article we have on a major book or work, and this isn't the exception to the rule.
 * You've done a fine job of creating a rounded picture; it reads well. But the redirect is confusing -- this is /not/ an article about the diary itself.  Please create a separate page for the book that includes (or leaves room for) publishing details which would be inappropriate in a concise biography: languages into which it was published, popularity in various countries, various editions and publishers and dates of publication.  There is a bit of unnecessary detail in the bio regarding the diary -- the bits about the '86 edition and about Suijk, for instance -- which have little or nothing to do with Frank or her story.  Then you can link from the book to the bio for more complete context.  +sj  +  03:59, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Did not see your comment at Talk:Anne Frank until now. OK, the way you've suggested it there makes good sense.  Have made a very rushed start on a stub for the diary as a published work (The Diary of a Young Girl).  It's not even close to being adequate and even as a stub it's rather poor, but it's a beginning, and is sure to grow into something worthwhile.  I don't have time to do more that the basics with it at the moment but will continue to revisit it. thanks Rossrs 11:33, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * @ +sj: I too agree with the notion of creating a separate article about the Diary, but I have to respectfully disagree with your reasoning. The way I see it, the Anne Frank article is not merely a biography, but also a treatise of Anne Frank as a symbol, an icon, or a franchise, if you will. If it was just a biography, the article would end with her death in 1945, wouldn't it? But that would not tell the whole story of Anne Frank. The diary she wrote is the very reason that sets her apart from many of the other Holocaust victims, and which made her the potent symbol she is today. I therefore don't think that the person and the book need to be separated. Also, if the information about the diary should move to another article, would the same not also apply to the text about the Anne Frank Foundation, the Fonds and the work Otto Frank did after the war? Strictly speaking, all that isn't relevant to the life of Anne Frank either. Finally, "should not contain information that could be moved to an as-yet non-existing article" isn't really a featured article criterium. I think it would be helpful if you could suggest which things should be changed in this article, and treat the creation of the new one about the diary as a separate issue. Just my 0.02, of course. --Plek 12:01, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * "the bits about the '86 edition and about Suijk, for instance" are bits that do not fit in this article. There are other small bits that have nothing to do with Anne Frank, as person, symbol, or icon, which perhaps had not been written at all since they did not belong in Anne Frank.  I was not trying to conflate the two issues, only pointing out that the desire to combine all information about the Diary into this article, made it less brilliant and effective.  +sj  +  19:32, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Thanks Plek. Once again you have been able to succinctly put into words what I would like to say. My thought has been that an article about the diary could be written, and should be written, but not that it should be mandatory before this article could be considered as complete, and I appreciate that you have put forward that viewpoint. I would hope that The Diary of a Young Girl will gradually develop over time, but not at the expense of Anne Frank which should remain the primary source of information.  Rossrs 12:14, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Support. Jeronimo 21:32, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * temporarily oppose - although the existing text is brillant, there are some sins of omission:
 * The recent controversy in the Netherlands about attempts for her posthumous naturalization should be mentioned (see for example nl:Anne_Frank).
 * I wonder if it is of ongoing value to mention this, or whether it is of transitory interest? Also to mention this, where should it go?  It doesn't fit into any of the existing sections, and to create a new section for this point doesn't seem to me to be the best solution.  If you can suggest a way of fitting this into the existing framework, or give me some idea about how you would like this included, I will be happy to oblige.  Rossrs 10:21, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * For those not in the know: There is nothing "official" about the Grootste Nederlander "election". It was a TV show, designed to draw ratings, not some kind of formal recognition by the government. The "winner" was decided by popular vote, so it isn't too surprising that populist, assassinated politician Pim Fortuyn won. Fortuyn is quite popular amongst part of the Dutch population, but whether that qualifies to name someone the "greatest" Dutchman of all time is anyone's guess, of course. The debate about Anne Frank's naturalisation was initiated by officials of the broadcaster that aired the program. In the end the naturalisation was deemed impossible because Dutch law only allows it for people that are alive. I think the episode tells us more about entertainment and bureacracy than that it adds anything significant about Anne Frank herself. --Plek 07:06, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Although the section about the book is very well done, I would like to know a bit more about the differences between version A and version B, since that is a chance to learn how Anne Frank worked as a writer.

 * While I share your interest in the literary aspects of the diary, I don't really see how a few lines in this article could do that question justice. The Critical Edition, which examines the differences you're mentioning, is itself a work of 700+ pages. I'd like to propose to defer this subject, until an article is written about the diary itself (e.g. Diary of a Young Girl, as proposed above). This would allow for more space (not to mention the extensive research and fact-finding that would be required) to document the work. --Plek 06:48, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree, and echo Plek's request to reconsider this. I'd rather see a second good article about the diary and the writing, than see it addressed in too little detail in the biographical article. Rossrs 10:21, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * the achterhuis was stormed by the Grüne Polizei following a tip-off from an informer who was never identified - it should be mentioned that historian Carol Ann Lee (the author of the 2000 Anne Frank biography mentioned in the references) named a Dutch anti-semite called Tonny Ahlers as the informer and presented considerable evidence, see this Guardian article, for example. here it is said that the NIOD set up an inquiry in 2002 to investigate this and another theory, it would be good to describe its outcome (which I don't know).
 * Who betrayed Anne Frank? A study by the Netherlands Institute for War Documentation is listed in the "External links" section. The Ahlers hypothesis (amongst others) is discussed in that report. Added: I've moved the report to the "References" section and added an in-line link in the text. --Plek 16:07, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I had overlooked that link indeed. It seems that the Ahlers theory has flaws and the NIOD is quite critical of it. Still, I think the article should mention the names of the three main suspects and briefly describe the current state of the debate (including NIOD's statement: The conclusion of our inquiry is that we do not consider any of the three suspects to be a likely candidate for the role of betrayer), since many people will come here to look for this kind of information. regards, High on a tree 16:41, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * The people coming here to find this information will be able to follow the link. I don't see the point of listing people who have been ruled out.  If the person is ever identified, then yes definately give that subject a couple of detailed paragraphs. Rossrs 12:49, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Also, it would be nice to mention 5535 Annefrank.
 * regards, High on a tree 15:39, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * This is very interesting I agree, and I'm glad you pointed it out because I knew nothing about it.   Using the criterion of "does it add to our knowledge and understanding of the subject?", my opinion is that it doesn't meet that criterion.  I used the same criterion to eliminate several things from previous edits that personally interested me a great deal, and I also found various things while researching that I wanted to add, but knew I couldn't for the same reason.   Rossrs 10:21, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Perhaps something like a disambig at the top for the asteroid see 55.... Anyway, I would like to see mention of the asteroid. —Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 06:32, 2005 Feb 10 (UTC)
 * Maybe a quick few links in the "see also" section? Support, by the way. JuntungWu 06:04, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * OK, well I still think it should not be there and I've explained my reasoning, but 3 people think it should be added, so I'm clearly outvoted. Have added it to the "Related topics" section. Rossrs 12:49, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Nagui

Nagui Fam is a French TV and radio personality. In his professional life, he goes by his first name Nagui.

Early life
Nagui Fam was born in Alexandria, Egypt.

Career
Fam's television career began in 1987 on M6, and switched to TF1 in 1989. He became well known at the beginning of the 1990s with his game show Que le meilleur gagne (May the Best One Win) on La Cinq, which he carried over to France 2, which he joined in May 1992. His fame has been marked by frenetic humour in the part-parody N'oubliez pas votre brosse à dents (Don't Forget Your Toothbrush) or by a much more laid-back tone in the more serious Que le meilleur gagne.

In 1993 he founded his own production house, Air Productions, located at the Plaine Saint-Denis, and created a benchmark music show Taratata where artists perform "live".

In 1999 he attempted to take on the difficult job of succeeding Philippe Gildas and Antoine de Caunes on the Canal+ show, Nulle part ailleurs (Nowhere Else), a role that had already defeated Guillaume Durand.

In 2001 he returned to France 2 to present a game show, Le Numéro Gagnant (Winning Lines), Le Coffre (The Vault) in 2003, then the revival of Intervilles (Intercity) during summer 2004.

As of 2006 he is the host of a daily game show called Tout le monde veut prendre sa place, French for "Everybody wants to take his/her place" (the place being that of the current champion on the show), on France 2. The game concept has been bought by Michael Davies, the Power of 10 producer.

In addition, since December 2007, he hosts a daily musical game show in prime time: N'oubliez pas les paroles!, which is the French version of Don't Forget the Lyrics! On radio, after co-hosting from 07:00 to 10:00 the morning show on Europe 2 (which later became Virgin Radio) with Manu from September 2006 to June 2008, he is currently hosting on Europe 1 a show called Décrochez le Soleil from 09:30 to 11:00. ( Give yourself ...the Sun ). Currently, he is hosting "La Bande Originale" (The original Sound-track) on France Inter.

In April 2010, a national survey carried out by strategies.fr placed him as the nation no.1 TV host, which was confirmed by his ratings. He is fluent in English as well as French.

In his professional life, he goes by his first name Nagui.
