Shouldn't this article be a redirect to Organizational behavior, or directly to Organizational studies? I see nothing pertinent on Requests for expansion.

I'll make this a redirect page soon if nobody objects.

Solon Borglum

Solon Hannibal de la Mothe Borglum (December 22, 1868 – January 31, 1922) was an American sculptor. He is most noted for his depiction of frontier life, and especially his experience with cowboys and native Americans.

He was awarded the Croix de Guerre by France for his work with Les Foyers du Soldat service clubs during World War I.

Early life
Born in Ogden, Utah, Borglum was the younger brother of Gutzon Borglum and uncle of Lincoln Borglum, the two men most responsible for the creation of the carvings at Mount Rushmore. Solon's Danish immigrant father James Borglum was a Mormon polygamist, being married to two sisters, Ida and Christina Mikkelsen. When the family – each wife had two children – moved to Nebraska they could no longer openly be husband and wives, so Solon and Gutzon's mother Christina was listed as the family servant. When the father moved the family again to St. Louis in 1871, so that he could attend medical school, the decision was made to leave Christina behind. The children were told to never talk about her again. Solon was about three years old at the time. Solon grew up in Fremont, Nebraska and Omaha and spent his early years as a rancher in western Nebraska.

Solon’s father was a physician but had worked as a wood-carver, which almost certainly influenced Solon’s older brother, Gutzon, to pursue a career as an artist. Having shown little interest in formal schooling, the younger son spent his teens working on his father’s ranch near Fremont, Nebraska. He showed a talent for drawing horses, and his careful studies of their movements prompted Gutzon to encourage Solon to pursue art as a profession.

Education
In 1893 Solon went to Omaha to study with J. Laurie Wallace, a former pupil of Thomas Eakins. Following this early, and evidently brief, formal training, he joined his brother Gutzon at his home in the Sierra Madre mountains. A personality clash with Gutzon’s first wife Lisa however, forced Solon to move on; he went to Los Angeles, where he painted portraits and to Santa Ana, California, where he taught art privately. He had little success, however, and in November 1895 he traveled to Cincinnati, Ohio, where he entered the Cincinnati Art Academy. One of his instructors, the sculptor Louis Rebisso, encouraged him to try sculpting. His first effort was a sculpture of a group of horses based on observations and drawings he had made at the U.S. Mail stables in Cincinnati.

In 1898 the Art Academy awarded Borglum a scholarship that allowed him to go to Paris, where he matriculated at the Académie Julian as a student of Denys Puech. He met leading sculptors Emmanuel Fremiet and Augustus Saint-Gaudens, who gave him further encouragement. Borglum received a silver medal at the Exposition Universelle (1900) and another at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, NY

Later life
Borglum moved to the Silvermine neighborhood of New Canaan, Connecticut, where he helped found the "Knockers Club" of artists. His brother, Gutzon, lived in nearby Stamford, Connecticut from 1910 to 1920.

Borglum married in 1898, and he and his wife, Emma, spent the summer of 1899 at the Crow Creek Reservation in South Dakota. Though he later lived in Paris and New York City and achieved a reputation as one of America's notable sculptors, it was his depictions of frontier life, and especially his experience with cowboys and Native American peoples, which was the basis of his reputation. In 1911, Borglum was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Associate member.

In 1920, he established the American School of Sculpture in New York City. and ran the school and gave many lectures on art until his death after an appendectomy complicated by his war wounds in January 1922. His legacy was carried on by his wife Emma until her death in 1934, at which point his daughter Monica and her husband, A. Mervyn Davies, oversaw the exhibition of his artwork. In 1974 they published his biography Solon H. Borglum: A Man Who Stands Alone.

Borglum's papers are held at the Archives of American Art, and the Library of Congress.

Works
Borglum created several animal groups while in Paris, including Lassoing Wild Horses and The Stampede of Wild Horses, which were shown at the Paris Salon in 1898 and 1899, respectively.

The year 1903 was a banner one for the artist. He had a one-man show of thirty-two small sculptures at the Keppel Gallery, New York. In his ground-breaking History of American Sculpture published that year, Lorado Taft devoted several pages to Borglum, and he was the subject of an entire chapter in Charles Caffin’s 1903 book American Masters of Sculpture. In 1904 Borglum won the gold medal at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition held in St. Louis.

Borglum received several major public commissions, including an equestrian monument of General John Brown Gordon for the grounds of the Georgia State Capitol in Atlanta (1907), one of Rough Rider Buckey O'Neill for the plaza in front of the courthouse in Prescott, Arizona (1907), and The Pioneer, which was erected in the Court of Honor at the Panama–Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco (1915).

Two of his works are located in Jersey City, New Jersey. His sculpture Buffalo and Bears is in Leonard Gordon Park in the city's Heights section

In 1974 a group of the sculptor's descendants gave twenty bronzes, marbles, original plasters, portfolios of drawings and paintings to the New Britain Museum of American Art. Today the Museum houses the largest repository of Borglum's works.

Borglum sculpted a larger than life bronze equestrian statue for the Bucky O'Neill Monument, Rough Rider at the Yavapai County Court House Plaza in Prescott, Arizona. Teddy Roosevelt had persuaded Buckey O'Neill to join the Rough Riders and he was killed at the Battle of San Juan Hill. Borglum's statue Cowboy at Rest is also located on the grounds of the Yavapai County Court House in Prescott, Arizona.

Borglum's pieces can be found at the Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody, Wyoming, including Evening, a depiction of a cowboy leaning against his unsaddled horse at the end of the day.

Two of Borglum's sculptures, Inspiration and Aspiration, which depict Native American men, stand in the front courtyard of St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery, in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City, flanking the front gate.

Black and white photos of Cowboy Mounting, Lost in a Blizzard (in marble), and Tamed can be found in Caffin's book.

Crabtree (shopping mall)

Crabtree (formerly Crabtree Valley Mall) is a regional shopping mall located in Raleigh, North Carolina. At 1343109 sqft, it’s the largest enclosed mall in the Research Triangle area. The mall features Macy's, Belk, and Belk Men's Store.

History
Crabtree Valley Mall opened in August 1972 at the intersection of US 70/NC 50 (Glenwood Avenue) and the I-440 Beltline. Original anchors were Belk, Sears, G.C. Murphy, Miller & Rhoads and Thalhimer's.

From the start, the mall pulled shoppers from all over central and eastern North Carolina. Many of them came to the 251000 sqft Hudson Belk, which is still the largest store in the complex and serves as a Belk flagship. The mall was remodeled in the mid-1980s and added many specialty stores and a food court. It faced little competition in its market until the 1990s, when Cary Towne Center in nearby Cary doubled in size and spawned a companion mall, Crossroads Plaza.

In response Crabtree embarked on a major expansion starting in 1993. G.C. Murphy, Miller & Rhoads, and Piccadilly all closed down during this period. Thalhimer's converted to Hecht's, and began planning for a new, larger location at the mall. In 1993 a 40 by 110 ft section of the parking deck collapsed just three months after it had been completely rebuilt. Sears closed its Crabtree store in 1994 and opened a new location adjacent to it that August. The old Sears was reconstructed for additional stores and connected to a new, larger Hecht's which opened in August 1995, while the original Hecht's became a Lord & Taylor which shuttered entirely in 2006 after being repositioned. The upper level became a Belk Men's store while the lower level was reconstructed for additional specialty stores including the first H&M in North Carolina in 2010.

Hecht's transitioned to Macy's in September 2006.

On August 22, 2018, it was announced that Sears would shutter as part of an ongoing decision to phase out of its traditional brick-and-mortar format. In June 2019, it was unveiled that the previous Sears outpost will transform into a 30 story tower and that the mall had already begun seeking zoning approval. The cost estimates for the initial portion of the project are cited at about $290 million, with expectations to create more than 1,300 jobs.

On July 5, 2019, a small fire burned in a Macy's fitting room. The sprinkler system extinguished the flames before firefighters arrived.

On July 25, 2022, the News and Observer reported that furniture stores Pottery Barn, Arhaus, and Williams and Sonoma have closed their stores at Crabtree due to the opening of Fenton, a new shopping center that recently opened in Cary, across the street from the defunct Cary Towne Center.

Crabtree Special Police
Crabtree Valley Mall was the only mall in the Research Triangle area that had its own private police force. The force was sworn in under North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 74E, more commonly known as the Company Police Act, which gave them the power of arrest, and required them to be state certified officers as any municipal police agency. Crabtree Police officers were not allowed to carry firearms while on duty.

The force was disbanded in April 2020 after a change in mall management.

Flooding
Crabtree Valley Mall is situated in a low spot along Crabtree Creek, a tributary of the Neuse River that begins near Morrisville and winds through Umstead State Park as well as western and North Central Raleigh. Because the watershed around the mall has become increasingly covered with impervious parking lots the creek floods easily following major storms. Such floods occurred frequently in the mall's early years, but diminished with the construction of Lake Crabtree and large retaining basins upstream of the mall. However, the problem has returned and lower levels are still likely to flood during heavy rains in the summer months.

Heavy rains caused by the remnants of Tropical Storm Alberto flooded the lower level parking lots of the mall on June 14, 2006, as well as a great deal of the bottom level of anchor stores, forcing the mall to close for the day. A similar situation occurred with Hurricane Fran in 1996, when flood waters flowed through the first floor of the mall and caused a few stores to remain closed for nearly two months.

The lower level of the parking structure along with small parts of the main building have also flooded in 2013, March 2016 and, on July 16, 2016 when during an intense storm Crabtree creek rose 8 feet, closing some roads that surround the mall and flooding parking lots. The storm left dozens stranded and cars flooded.

Incidents
Crabtree Valley Mall has been the subject of several mass-panic events involving the mistaken perception of an active shooter due to loud, sudden noises. A widely reported event in August 2016 officially concluded with no shots fired, and no explanation as to the cause of the sudden noise despite extensive follow-up investigations and recorded noise analysis. Similar events occurred in August 2022, as well as both February and November 2023, with each requiring wide-spread lockdowns, extensive police involvement and frequently injuries in panicked attempts to flee.

Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Fair games

Category:Fair games listed for deletion on January 18, 2005. Consensus was to delete. RedWolf 05:48, Feb 3, 2005 (UTC)

There is not even a fair game article, and the only thing included in the category is chess, which I have never heard refered to as a "fair game". I don't think the concept really exists.--Sonjaaa 10:18, Jan 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * (not a vote) This is a real concept in mathematical game theory, see for example . On the other hand, I don't see any particular reason this specific attribute of games warrants a category. -- Rick Block 14:53, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * (This is also not a vote.) This may exist by analogy to Category:Unfair games, which did survive being listed for deletion (barely), although some qualms were expressed about the general state of the game-related categories. -Aranel (" Sarah ") 19:25, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Fair games aren't very interesting: Chess is one, i think, if you decide who moves first by flipping a (fair!) coin. Otherwise the only justification is that no one is sure whether its the first or second player who could force a win.

If category:Unfair games is in category: Games, then theoretically all the games not in there are "fair". But it's not a term normally used for them, and I don;'t think there's any need for this particular category. I think this one is, erm, fair game for deletion. Grutness|hello? 22:52, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Since there is no fair game article, we have no basis on which to categorize them as such. Buried under mathematical game theory does not save this category. RedWolf 01:07, Jan 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. A valid concept, which should have its own article. The fact that it doesn't is a reason to make that article, not to delete this category. --SPUI 01:14, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * My point is, without the article, we have no basis to categorize such articles. Also, wouldn't most games be fair and unfair the exception? Seems to be unnecessary categorization. RedWolf 02:08, Jan 29, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not useful as a category. I'm pretty sure the only "fair" games are almost purely chance because perfect play must result in a win for a specific player, or a draw, depending on the game. At the very least, chess does not belong in this category because it just hasn't been solved yet, and most players agree that white has an advantage due to having the first move.   — Gwalla | Talk 02:17, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Charlie Watt

Charlie Watt (born June 29, 1944 ) is a former Canadian Senator from Nunavik, Quebec.

A hunter and businessman by profession, Watt is an Inuk and served as Northern officer with the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs from 1969 to 1979. He was an early leader in the Indigenous rights movement in Canada, and represented the Quebec Inuit in the negotiations leading to the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement.

In 1984 he was appointed to serve in the Senate of Canada, and he was the second Inuk to achieve this post.

In 1994, he was named Officer of the National Order of Québec.

In 2018, he resigned from the Senate of Canada following 34 years of representing the Inuit in the Upper Chamber. He did so following his election to President of Makivik Corporation. This was his third election to the position, and he achieved it with 54% of the vote.

He resigned from the Senate, effective March 16, 2018 in order to focus on his duties with Makivik.

He is the brother of activist and author Sheila Watt-Cloutier.

James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement (1975)
At a meeting of representatives from Northern Quebec Inuit communities, held in Inukjuak in April 1971, Charlie Watt was elected as one of the six founding directors of the Northern Quebec Inuit Association, incorporated on June 8, 1972, (now the Makivik Corporation). Although future Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa was convinced of the viability and economic importance of a massive hydroelectric project on Inuit and Cree traditional lands, since his first meeting on December 16, 1969, with then Hydro-Québec president Roland Giroux, it was only when Bourassa became Premier of Quebec on April 29, 1970, that the project was officially introduced in the provincial cabinet in March 1971, and announced to the public on April 30, 1971. The James Bay Hydroelectric Development Project ignored the rights of the Inuit and Cree who lived in northern James Bay and northern Quebec. In 1972 the NQIA and the Quebec Association of Indians applied for an injunction to stop the hydro "project of the century" to the Quebec Superior Court. Although the original ruling in their favour was overturned, by 1975 they had successfully negotiated the "first major comprehensive land claims agreement in northern Canada, heralding in a new era in aboriginal land claims." The James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement (JBNQA), signed in November 1975, was one of three landmark court decisions that brought about "an important shift in the recognition of the rights of First Nations in Canada."

He has also been active with a number of aboriginal businesses including the Makivik Corporation, Air Inuit, Seaku Fisheries, Uttuulik Leasing, and Kigaq Travel.

Watt served as co-chair of the Inuit Committee on National Issues from 1979 to 1984 and has also served with the Nunavik Constitutional Committee and the Inuit Tapirisat of Canada. Senator Watt also served on the Board of the Circumpolar Chamber of Commerce as one of its first directors. An Officer of the National Order of Quebec (1994), Watt is also the 1997 recipient of the National Aboriginal Achievement Award (now known as the Indspire Awards).

The Senate of Canada (1984-2018)
Watt was appointed to the Senate on January 16, 1984, by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Appointed at age 39, Watt was the second-youngest person at appointment who was then serving in the Senate (and the 2nd Inuk in Canadian history to serve in the upper chamber). Senator Charlie Watt represented the province of Quebec and the Senatorial Division of Inkerman. He served in the Senate of Canada from January 16, 1984 until March 16, 2018.

During his 34 years in the Senate of Canada, Watt founded the Special Committee on Aboriginal Peoples (1984) which later became the Senate Standing Committee on Aboriginal Peoples. He also served on numerous Senate Standing Committees including: Fisheries and Oceans, Legal and Constitutional Affairs, and he is the founder and first Chairman of the Senate Special Committee on the Arctic (2017).

He is most notable for championing Inuit rights in Canada and for speaking his language (Inuktitut) in the Senate Chamber and at committee meetings. He was instrumental in changing Senate rules to allow the use of his mother tongue and for producing the first materials in Inuktitut on the Canadian Parliamentary System.

He is also known for his ongoing work with First Nations and Metis communities in Canada.

In 2007, while serving on the Senate Standing Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs, Watt participated in their report called: Taking Section 35 Rights Seriously, non-derogation clauses relating to Aboriginal and Treaty Rights

In September of that same year he introduced Bill S229 An Act to amend the Income Tax Act and the Excise Tax Act (tax relief for Nunavik).

This was to bring attention to the high cost of living in northern Canada. Watt introduced the bill to make Nunavik (northern Quebec) a GST free zone. Although the bill did not make it to the House of Commons, it brought northerners to Ottawa to discuss their unique living situation and the high costs of goods and services.

In December 2011, Watt introduced bill S207 An Act to Amend the Interpretation Act (non-derogation of aboriginal and treaty rights), the committee report was adopted in the Senate, but the bill was dropped from the order paper in June 2013.

In his final year at the Senate of Canada, Watt created the Special Committee on the Arctic and he was the first Chair of the committee. Their work is continuing under the leadership of Senators Patterson and Bovey

Watt was educated at schools in: Kuujjuaq (Fort Chimo), Quebec; Yellowknife, NWT; Kingston, Ontario; Ottawa, Ontario; Montreal, Quebec; Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Brandon, Manitoba.

In 1997, he was awarded the Aboriginal Achievement Award by Buffy Sainte Marie for his role in community development (now called the Indspire Award).

He is married to Ida (Epoo), and is father to Donald, Robert, Lisa, Billy, and Charlene.

There is no cliffhanger for season 5! And how come it says it in the past tense? They've already shown 4 episodes in the new season.

Quotes
The quotes section is not really substantative enough to be on this article, let alone warrant its own section. -user:cdelosr1

This title is really long and when you think about it, somewhat unnecessary due to the briefness of what I am about to say
There are a lot of good quotes, but they haven't been added yet. Give it a chance.

running gags
i suggest a section for running gag should be added. some are frequent use of the shows theme song in the dialogue, "I'm a Survivor", brock being tan, barbara jeans insane past, cheyanne being on the drill team not a cheerleader, kira's sarcastic humor, and/or reba's opposition to barbara jean and physical humor poking fun at barbara jean. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Effortles (talk • contribs) 03:18, 29 March 2007 (UTC).

Yeah, I think a running gag section would be a good idea. and I think the daughter's name is spelled Cheyenne. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.247.244.120 (talk) 00:54, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Van & Cheyenne
On Sunday, April 13, 2008, it was announced that there might be a possible spin-off of "Reba" called "Van & Cheyenne" where the young married couple (Van & Cheyenne) move in their own home and raise their two children in a different part of Texas. Filming began in March 2008. The show is set to premiere September of 2008 due to Garcia and Howey`s shows in which they quit in order to do the spin-off. The show will be on CBS, which the creators thought would increase the shows popularity unlike Reba which was on The WB and had very poor ratings.

I have searched online and found no source for this... can someone remove it or add a citation needed tag? Is it true? It'd make me a very happy person :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.245.168.124 (talk) 05:57, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

I found the text of an interview with Reba McIntyre discussing this. She said that she had planned to write for the series, and executive-ly produce (be an executive producer), but that a future for the series was unlikely. The pilot for this series was halted due to the death of a relative of one of the stars (that's all she would say about it), and that many of the writers pulled out after the thespian (actor or actress) returned. The final nail in the coffin came on August 14th, when the 12 or 13 minutes of footage was sold (some of it used in a Reba inspired music video, but most of it stocked). If there is going to be a series, it isn't going to be any time soon, but yes, it existed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.247.244.120 (talk) 01:04, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Reba to return for mroe seasons

Synopsis Section
I think the tense of the following sentence, appearing at the end of the synopsis section, needs to be changed - this show was cancelled in 2007 so present tense is incorrect in this situation:

"Since the fifth season, Van and Reba have been real estate partners." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.41.192.218 (talk) 17:14, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Dates
There is a serious problem with dates in this article. I hope whoever considers the article "theirs" can straighten it out. I'd be worried I'd make it worse.

The date 1993 appears twice for the year the series started; from other internal evidence that appears to be incorrect, it appears to have started in 2001. I'm almost sure enough of that to replace those 2 instances.

But WHAT is up with the chart on Awards? Not only does one of those say 1993, but the next few are also in the 1990s, when (if the 2001 date is correct) the show did not even exist yet. If, in fact the show started in 2001, the vast majority of that entire Awards chart is wrong, and it'd take extensive research into the various awards programs to figure out what's right instead.

Something isn't jiving. 1993 can't be the right start date if 2007 is the end date and 6 is the number of (continuous) seasons. But WHERE did all those supposed 1990s awards come from? 66.169.152.239 (talk) 05:54, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

"International success" grammar
Would somebody fix the sentence about the Czech Republic? It seems like the part about the premiere should read better than it does...

Reba / Barbara Jean / Melissa
Would LOVE to know where they got "Barbara Jeans" Wardrobe!! Loved all the clothes she appeared in on the show, especially a jacket that had butterflies on it and when she started loosing all of the weight!! She looked really Great Stephani55 (talk) 16:22, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Reba McEntire

AllMusic reviews in the timeline
Noticed multiple references to reviews published on AllMusic.com within the timeline. AllMusic was not founded until 1991, yet the article references modern AllMusic reviews multiple times within the Music Career section from 1976-1990, e.g.:

"It was followed by the low-charting Billboard country singles "(There's Nothing Like the Love) Between a Woman and Man" and "Glad I Waited Just for You". Mercury issued her self-titled debut album in 1977. In his album review, Greg Adams of AllMusic compared it to the country crossover style of Barbara Mandrell and Tammy Wynette."

The issue is that the article flips back and forth between referencing AllMusic reviews (that were written years after the album/single's release) and reception at the time of release, such as Billboard charts and RIAA certification. The aforementioned section, prior to AllMusic's creation, references AllMusic three times, but only one other critical reception (a Billboard article from 1984, mentioned in reference to My Kind of Country).

The inclusion of the AllMusic reviews within the timeline is confusing/misleading, especially since they are most of the critical commentary included in the timeline prior to 1990. The implication here is that reviewers on AllMusic form the critical consensus of the era the singles/albums were released in, which they could not have been. It may be beneficial to add a 'Critical Reception' section or equivalent, or altenatively supplement with additional reviews of the time. I've added reception from a 1984 UPI article, will look for more reviews from the time period. IJF99 (talk) 04:40, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

"Since 2011: Brief television return and current projects" Section
This is a very well written article with a well done narrative form, but the section in my heading appears a bit too much like a list and could be made to better flow as part of the larger narrative. 47.12.225.19 (talk) 05:09, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Barnwood

Barnwood is a suburb and former civil parish in the city of Gloucester, in the county of Gloucestershire, England. It lies about 1.8 mi east of the centre of the city.

Barnwood was originally a small village on the Roman road that links Gloucester with Hucclecote, Brockworth and Cirencester. The Church of England parish church is dedicated to St Lawrence.

The Generation Design and Construction Division of the CEGB became the centre of a new office development when it moved here in the early 1970s. This then became the corporate headquarters of Nuclear Electric, and later the English offices of the (nominally Scottish-based) British Energy, which in 2009 became part of EDF Energy. Other major companies in Barnwood include Claranet, Cheltenham & Gloucester and InterCall. There is also a Holiday Inn, Sainsbury's, Virgin Active and Tenpin Ltd in the area.

Barnwood Park School is a secondary school.

Arboretum
Barnwood Arboretum is set on the grounds of the Barnwood House Hospital which was closed in 1968 and finally demolished in 2000. The arboretum consists of an enclosed woodland area that is cared for and conserved by Gloucester City Council in conjunction with the Friends of Barnwood Arboretum (FOBA). The Arboretum's main entrance is off Church Lane, Barnwood. It has with various habitats including grassland and wetland, and is set amongst a collection of mature native and exotic specimen trees.

The Friends of Barnwood Arboretum & Park organise events throughout the year to encourage local citizens to use the area in an educational manner.

Football
Barnwood United Association Football Club plays its home games at Walls Club, Barnwood. Nicknamed 'The Barny Boys', the club competes in the Gloucestershire Northern Senior League Division 2. The club is affiliated to Gloucestershire FA. They also have a reserve side who are members of Stroud and District Football League Division 3.

Notable people
Samuel and Anne Bubb, who were grandparents of the inventor Sir Charles Wheatstone (1802–75), lived at Barnwood Manor House. Biographical notes of 1887 say that Sir Charles stated that he was born in the house and lived there as a young child, and this was the scene of some of his earliest experiments. In later years Wheatstone often returned to Barnwood. A local public house is named The Wheatstone Inn after him.

The architect Frederick S. Waller (1822–1905), sometime resident architect at Gloucester Cathedral, lived and died at Barnwood.

Civil parish
On 1 April 1966 the parish was abolished and became part of Gloucester, Hucclecote and Upton St. Leonards. In 1961 the parish had a population of 2160.

Timeline of the Battle of France

The Timeline of the Battle of France, also known as the Fall of France, covers the period during World War II from the first military actions between Germany and France and to the armistice signed by France. Over the period of six weeks, from May 10 to June 25, 1940, Nazi Germany had also conquered Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg. Nazi Germany's overall plan was to invade the Low Countries which would make the French and British troops leave their current position and position their forces in Belgium. Then, a second force would navigate through the Ardennes Forest and move around the Maginot Line at the weakest part of the Allied defences. The force would then move towards the west French coast and cut the northern Allied force off. The Germans would then capture Paris, eliminate any resistance that remained, cross the English Channel, and invade the United Kingdom.

September 1939

 * 2 September: Tensions began to flare with Germany as Britain and France put Germany on notice for the invasion of Poland.
 * 3 September: France declared war on Nazi Germany.
 * 7 September: French forces engage in light skirmishes with German forces near Saarbrücken.

 * 13 May: The first German forces emerge from the Ardennes on the river Meuse, facing stiff resistance.
 * 14 May: German Panzer Corps 15, 44, and 19 face only a small amount of Allied forces and were able to set up bridgeheads. Panzer Corps 15 and 19 break through Allied defenses at Sedan, which allows German forces to bypass the Maginot line.

 * 29 May: About 47,000 British forces were evacuated from Dunkirk.

I found this photo from the Vatican website, under their listing of photos of Pope John Paul II.

Ioannes Paulus PP. II
I found this image for the same place I found the first one (Official Image of Pope John Paul II), at the Vatican website, www.vatican.va. When I uploaded it this time I was unable to give it any caption. Thanks.

Image:Papa Giovanni Paulo II.jpg has been listed as a possible copyright violation
I found this photo at the Vatican website (www.vatican.va) under the lisintgs of photos of Pope Joh Paul II. I believe it may be copyrighted by the Vatican Press Office, but if we properly acknowledge it, may it be used on the profile? I think its a wonderful picture and would love to see it on Wikipedia. Thank you for your help.

 * It is indeed a nice picture, but the text you yourself placed on the description page, of which I posted an English translation, indicates that any such use is prohibited without explicit permission, acknowledged or not. Much as I'd like it used here, I just don't see how we can legally do that. TCC (talk) (contribs) 23:38, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi, please don't keep adding that picture to the Pope John Paul II article. As you can see from the messages here, there are problems with copyright, and also, as you can see from the Pope John Paul II talk page, there is no agreement to change the picture. Please discuss it on that talk page before trying to make a change. Thanks. AnnH (talk) 01:05, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

Toni Iordache

Toni Iordache (17 December 1942 – February 1988) was a Romani-Romanian lăutar and one of the most famous cimbalom (Romanian: ţambal) players in the world. He was nicknamed the God of the Cimbalom and Paganini of the cimbalom.

Early life
Toni was born in Bâldana village, near Bucharest, and began learning the instrument from his father when he was four. Some years later his family would move to Bucharest in the Herăstrău neighborhood, where many famous lăutari lived. There, Toni continued to learn from Mitică Ciuciu, who was a famous cimbalom player in his days.

Career
At 12, he was employed at the National Radio Orchestra of Popular Music. Later he became a member of the Ciocârlia National Ensemble, the primary popular ensemble in the country. With the Ciocârlia Ensemble, Toni Iordache toured the world: many European countries, the USA and also Asian countries. In between tours, he would play at weddings, being the most sought after lăutar of his day. Often, after landing at the airport he would drive directly to a wedding where the other musicians were waiting for him.

He won two gold medals: in Vienna(1959) and Sofia (1966) and appeared as guest soloist on Zoltan Kodaly's 'Hary János Suite' performed by the NHK Symphony Orchestra, in Tokyo, in 1973.

Among others, he played with Romica Puceanu, Gabi Luncă, Ion Onoriu, Ionică Minune and also with the well-known pan flute (nai) player Gheorghe Zamfir.

Imprisonment
In the early seventies Toni Iordache was arrested for possession of foreign currency, which was strictly forbidden in communist Romania. He reportedly wanted to buy a fur coat for his wife with it. Despite his high popularity and interventions in his favor he was sentenced to three years in jail. His imprisonment was kept undisclosed to the press, only his friends knew. During his time in jail he lost greatly in weight, but he recovered fast after his release and was able to resume his musical activity. His time in jail was made easier by both his fellow inmates and guards that were very fond of him.

Death
Toni Iordache became seriously ill with diabetes. The doctors recommended to have his leg amputated, but the operation did not save his life. He died in February 1988. His friend and fellow musician Costel Vasilescu (also known as Costel Trompetistu') took care of the funeral.

Style
Although he played a lot of the "popular" music that was promoted by the communist regime, Toni Iordache remained known among aficionados especially for his work as a lăutar. His solos were very complex, but also clear and beautiful and his improvisations were full of imagination. He was not only a very virtuoso player (he was measured in Paris to be able to play 25 notes per second), but also a very sophisticated one, with a high emphasis on touch, playing the slow pieces with great sensibility. He was able to play two melodic lines simultaneously at high tempos and knew how to use the full capacities of the cimbalom.

Other information

 * The great conductor Sergiu Celibidache embraced him with tears in his eyes after attending one of his shows.
 * Toni Iordache was the one that nicknamed the great Romanian accordionist Ionică Minune (Johnny The Wonder).
 * The great singer Gabi Luncă recounted that they were in a concert during the major 1977 earthquake. Toni Iordache was so concentrated on his solo that he didn't even notice the earthquake.
 * He was described as "pure genius" by Chris Nickson in his review from AllMusic.
 * His son Leonard is also an accomplished cimbalom player. His grandson Bogdan was also studying the cimbalom but died in a highway car accident in July 2011 aged 23.

Charlotte MacLeod

Charlotte MacLeod (November 12, 1922 – January 14, 2005) was a Canadian-American mystery fiction writer.

Biography
Charlotte Matilda MacLeod was born in 1922 in Bath, New Brunswick, Canada, but emigrated to the United States in 1923 and became a naturalized US citizen in 1951. She attended the Art Institute of Boston. During the late 1940s and early 1950s, she worked as a copywriter for Stop & Shop Supermarkets in Boston. She eventually moved on to join the staff of N. H. Miller & Company, an advertising agency, where she rose to the level of vice president; she retired in 1982.

While continuing to work at the advertising company during the day, MacLeod began writing mystery fiction, eventually publishing over 30 novels. Many of her books are set in New England, including a series featuring university professor Peter Shandy, and another about Beacon Hill couple Sarah Kelling and Max Bittersohn. Other mysteries, set in Canada, were published under the pen name Alisa Craig.

MacLeod tailored her books to fit into the cozy mystery genre, i.e. avoiding too much violence, gore, or sex while featuring a humorous and literate-yet-light style, likable protagonists, and eccentric casts of secondary characters.

Her work sold over one million copies in the United States as well as Canada and Japan. MacLeod was co-founder of the American Crime Writers League and served as president. She received a Nero Award for The Corpse in Oozak's Pond in 1987, which was also nominated for an Edgar Award.

MacLeod began writing at 6 a.m. each day, continued through the morning, then used the afternoon for rewrites. She only started new books on Sundays. Although described as a "true lady" and often seen with hat and white gloves, while writing she would stay dressed in a bathrobe to avoid the temptation of leaving the house for an errand.

MacLeod spent her final years in Maine. Toward the end of her years she suffered from Alzheimer's disease. She died on January 14, 2005, in a Lewiston, Maine nursing home.

Awards
In 1998, MacLeod received the Malice Domestic Award for Lifetime Achievement.

Achumawi language

The Achumawi language (also Achomawi or Pit River language) is the indigenous language spoken by the Pit River people in the northeast corner of present-day California. The term Achumawi is an anglicization of the name of the Fall River band, ajúmmááwí, from ajúmmá "river". Originally there were nine bands, with dialect differences primarily between upriver (Atwamwi, Astariwawi; Kosalektawi, Hammawi, Hewisedawi dialects) and downriver (Madesiwi, Itsatawi, Ilmawi, and Achumawi (proper) dialects), demarcated by the Big Valley mountains east of the Fall River valley.

Genetic relationships
Together, Achumawi and Atsugewi are said to comprise the Palaihnihan language family separate from the adjacent and related Shastan family. The basis of this grouping is weakened by poor quality of data. David Olmsted's data dictionary depends almost entirely upon de Angulo, and carelessly includes Pomo vocabulary from a manuscript in which he (de Angulo) set out to demonstrate that Achumawi and Pomo are not related. William Bright and Shirley Silver questioned Olmsted's results and methods of reconstruction. Kroeber (1925:279) acknowledged that "there would have been almost as much justification for separating Atsugewi from Achomawi and erecting it into a separate family as for keeping Achomawi and Shasta apart, as ethnologists did for half a century. What lay at the bottom of this inconsistence was that the Atsugewi live in a region topographically tributary to the larger Achomawi habitat; that the two tribes were in close association and friendly; and that they followed very similar customs." The phenomenon of non-reciprocal intelligibility is a matter of bilingualism in the smaller and more dependent of two exogamous communities; Kroeber (1925:308) estimated that the Achumawi were ten times more numerous than the Atsugewi.

Phonology
Achumawi has 29 consonants. The stops and affricate (aside from the marginally contrastive glottal stop) are in three series, plain, aspirated, and laryngealized or glottalized. The aspirated series is contrastive only syllable-initially and probably derives historically from the voiceless-released first member of a consonant cluster, as in the neighboring and possibly related Yana language. This is seen morphophonemically in e.g. it "I, me", itʰˑú "my, mine".

The plain-aspirated distinction is neutralized and realized with voiceless release in syllable-final position and before another consonant; the aspirates are much more fortis than this voiceless release. Syllable-initial plain stops are voiceless (without voiceless release) after long vowel or when geminate (long), and voiced elsewhere. The laryngealized stops are similar in articulation to the ejective glottalized stops of neighboring languages, but more lenis, that is, not "popped" unless an unusual effort is made at articulating the distinction.

The language has a 5-vowel system /i e a o u/. Two degrees of length are contrastive for both vowels and consonants. Long vowels are typically more peripheral and short vowels more centralized, phonetically [ɪ ɛ ʌ ə ʊ]. The mid vowels /e o/ are probably of secondary origin historically, as in Yana and Atsugewi. A short centralized vowel [ə ɨ] appears epenthetically between the consonants of certain prefixes, as in lhúpta "let's go!". Vowel length assimilates the next successive laryngeal state, that is, the second mora of a long vowel is devoiced before a plain or aspirated consonant (preaspiration) and word finally before silence, and is laryngealized before a laryngealized consonant. In upriver dialects vowels and plain stops are more fully voiced. In downriver dialects, utterance-final syllables may be devoiced or whispered, especially under interrogative intonation. A light syllable consists of a consonant and vowel (CV), and a heavy syllable either contains a long vowel (CVˑ) or is closed with a second consonant (CVC).

Unlike the neighboring and related language Atsugewi, Achumawi has contrastive high and low tones.

Morphology
The Achumawi language does not have gender but it has two forms of the copula ("to be") distinguishing animate and inanimate. The verb stem comprises one or more verb roots plus optional adverbial affixes. Inflectional affixes on verbs distinguish singular, dual, and plural number, and suffixes may optionally express severality and plurality of nouns. Many nouns and adjectives are derived from verb stems or participles, and some verb stems are formed by noun incorporation. The language has independent adjectives and numerals.

Current status
Today, the Achumawi language is critically endangered. Out of an estimated 1500 Achumawi people remaining in northeastern California, perhaps ten spoke the language in 1991, with only eight in 2000.

As of 2013, a mobile app was planned for the language. Louise Davis, who lives in northern California, is almost tearful when she describes hearing people using the language of her Pit River tribe in conversation for the first time. It happened years ago when an older man from another part of the state met up with her grandmother.

It was such a powerful, emotional experience that Davis is driven to use flashcards at home with her children and do whatever it takes to preserve the language.

“You can say things in our language that you can’t say in English,” she said.

Testing out a language app in February [2013], she said she couldn’t wait to see it being used among young people in the tribe.
