Talk:Seraphim Rose

Consensus seeking on the inclusion of sexuality material
Below, I encourage editors to vote in a consensus-seeking survey on the topic of Seraphim Rose's sexuality and its inclusion on this page. An editor has repeatedly removed this material on the basis that it is sourced from a "spurious" document. However, other editors contend its inclusion is merited by the adoption of this material by reliable sources. For this survey, I encourage editors such as myself that have previously stated their rationale for inclusion or exclusion to refrain from including it below, as we have discussed this at length. New members of this conversation, however, are encouraged to include brief explanations of their reasoning (though these guidelines are neither absolute nor binding). Please vote Yes for inclusion of material or No for exclusion. Thank you! ~ Pbritti (talk) 01:27, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Survey

 * Yes. ~ Pbritti (talk) 01:27, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * No There are no reliable sources for this information which are not suspect, but only a single source which derives from a tabloid journalist who specializes in sensationalism and celebrity noir. In any case, the content in question lacks topical relevancy and is clearly novel and salacious in the context of the recognized body of work on the subject. The Seraphim Rose who is the subject of this Wikipedia entry never identified as LGBT, nor does his life and work bear any connection to LGBT issues or the LGBT movement. It is therefore inappropriate to include these disputed, novel claims (which, again, are totally absent in every other recognized authoritative book or article on Seraphim Rose, including the major work on his life: "Fr. Seraphim Rose: His Life and Teachings", by Damascene Christensen) in what purports to be an encyclopedic reference article intended to convey only the most relevant, supported, neutral, well attested facts about its subject. Classical library (talk) 02:01, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes There is no reason to exclude this important aspect of his life. See this source for info. M.Bitton (talk) 02:15, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes as this is an important part of his life. --StellarNerd (talk) 04:00, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, as this is an important part of the subject's life, and the additions in question do not violate WP:BLP — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maximilian775 (talk • contribs) 05:44, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * No, I did not find adequate and reliable sources for the subject's sexuality. This source above mentioned does not actually state that the person was homosexual.Qaumrambista (talk) 14:13, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Actually, it does (first by saying that most orthodox writer acknowledge that he struggled with homosexual tendencies and then adding that he acknowledged that he was homosexual in a letter to a close friend), but that's not what the survey is about (the inclusion of his sexuality, whatever it is). M.Bitton (talk) 14:42, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * that is different from saying "he was homosexual". I did read the page 56. The author is making a claim, which we must strictly see as his/her view on the subject. We cannot be sure about the authenticity of the claim since Father Rose never disclosed his sexual orientation.Qaumrambista (talk) 15:33, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * We go by what the RS say, our own beliefs are irrelevant. Try reading the next two pages (57 and 58). M.Bitton (talk) 15:36, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I did not raise a question of reliability here. Authors' beliefs and opinions must treated as their own, and not as established facts. (Attribution must be provided) Qaumrambista (talk) 16:07, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Read what I said above, starting with that's not what the survey is about .. and please, don't ping me again. Thanks. M.Bitton (talk) 16:15, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, using the book source, with proper WP:INTEXT attribution (the book says that other works don't address the topic, so attribution seems necessary to me). --Pokechu22 (talk) 16:51, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Discussion

 * Sarah Riccardi-Swartz is a notorious critic of Russian Orthodoxy, infamous for having infiltrated a conservative ROCOR parish in America and dissembled herself as a sincere parishioner to surreptitiously gather unguarded information to facilitate a published hit piece. She and the cadre of Fordham University mandarins who underwrite and enthusiastically flog her work are well known for harboring a strong animus toward both the traditional Orthodox teachings and practices professed by Seraphim Rose and those in the Orthodox Churches who hold him in high esteem. All of which is to say that this person is blatantly biased, and not to be regarded as a credible source of information useful to resolve this controversy. Classical library (talk) 03:08, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm planning to let this survey go for another 96 hours (so closing sometime late Thursday afternoon in the U.S.). I'll take responsibility for implementing the consensus when the time comes. ~ Pbritti (talk) 04:14, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * A few random users voting in the span of 96 ours does not constitute a meaningful consensus by any stretch. I move to revert to the version of the article which appeared prior to user Pbritti's recent gratuitous addition, which reflects a long-standing previous revision, pursuant to WP:STATUSQUO Classical library (talk) 04:38, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * This message was left by a user now blocked. See here. ~ Pbritti (talk) 06:12, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I suggest a WP:SNOW close. M.Bitton (talk) 13:20, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Since one other editor has expressed opposition to inclusion, I want to keep it open for another day at least, just for the sake of ensuring any consensus achieved sticks more permanently. ~ Pbritti (talk) 16:00, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Sure thing (I left the above comment before their opposition). M.Bitton (talk) 16:05, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I hope that, if the material is restored, the restorer will replace the awkward phrase "grew disinterested with" with the clearer "lost interest in". --JBL (talk) 13:30, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Noted and agreed, as that’s a clearer phrasing that does not effect content. ~ Pbritti (talk) 14:49, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Procedural point of order
So, you have "discussions" on consensus that only last 24 hours? That isn't a very convincing process. Liz Read! Talk! 03:26, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
 * This discussion was broadcast to multiple forums for discussion, with numerous admins participating in discussion surrounding the WP:SPA nature of the only editor who sought total exclusion of this material. The only other voter to vote in the negative ultimately had a disagreement about how attribution should work, rather than whether it should be included. I would encourage you review the various discussions that have occurred previously. ~ Pbritti (talk) 03:32, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I have no opinions on the substance of this topic, but I agree with that procedurally, this is not a proper consensus. The editor who opened the discussion closed it themselves just 24 hours later claiming WP:SNOW. I've removed the hidden text in the article as inappropriately claiming a consensus where there is none. If you want to get a real consensus, I think you're going to have to open the discussion again.  agt x  04:25, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
 * While I'm certain your intentions are right, I am deeply disappointed in this drive-by challenge to consensus. For over 7 years, this topic has been discussed on this talk page (check the archives) and the sole dissenting party up until this survey was an editor who has since been blocked for their behavior on this talk page and on the pages of those they disagreed with. The most recent discussion was posted to various relevant WikiProjects while it was still open and received input from multiple admins. There was one other editor who voted No in all of this—an editor apparently confused about what the discussion was and ultimately having a disagreement about how the material would appear, not if it should. If you think a "real consensus" is not at least 8 editors explicitly stating their desire for the inclusion of material over more than half a decade in the face of one since-banned SPA editor, I'm not sure a "real consensus" can exist. ~ Pbritti (talk) 06:38, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
 * If you're so confident in the consensus, why not let the discussion run for a week? I don't understand the rush to close it. I'll add that my review of the archives suggests that the discussion has been sporadic -- at best. The last serious discussion appears to have been in March 2020 (early March, right before most of us got distracted with ... other matters). Before that, it was March 2015. All I'm saying is that this is a bad look and procedurally defective.  agt x  14:06, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I encourage you to consider that WP:SNOW is precisely for instances like this: when discussion has occurred and an overwhelming number of individuals have voiced their consideration in support or opposition of a decision. Your review of the archives should have also yielded that the only instances of opposition came from the same SPA editor. This has been discussed at least three times, each time with all but one now-banned editor objecting (which, for as niche a page of this, is really not "sporadic"). Not every instance of Wikipedia discussion has to be a drawn-out bureaucratic deliberation; the banned editor involved on this page abused such processes to bully others from implementing a consensus and then, once the others were disinterested in taking the continued crassness, deleted the material. If you want to reopen discussion for the sake of appearances, then reopen discussion. But it won't be the look you think it is. ~ Pbritti (talk) 16:32, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

I've reopened the discussion. Note this from WP:SNOW: "Especially, closers should beware of interpreting 'early pile on' as necessarily showing how a discussion will end up. This can sometimes happen when a topic attracts high levels of attention from those engaged (or having a specific view) but slower attention from other less involved editors, perhaps with other points of view. It can sometimes be better to allow a few extra days even if current discussion seems very clearly to hold one opinion, to be sure that it really will be a snowball and as a courtesy to be sure that no significant input will be excluded if closed very soon." The very best way to shut down a socking/spa editor like that is to get a real consensus after a discussion that lasts a reasonable amount of time. If the results don't change from what you had before, that's fine by me. But you have to understand that people aren't looking at Wikipedia every day, and a discussion that lasts a day and then gets arbitrarily cut off doesn't appear fair. Your rationale for the early close doesn't make a lot of sense. We have other processes to solve socking, and since the banned editor is now banned, they shouldn't pose a problem to future discussion. WP:WHENCLOSE suggests that a week is appropriate before closing most discussions, if a close is even necessary. agt x 16:44, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
 * "Early pile on" hardly applies when discussion was carried out extensively multiple times–hence the close. If you think that the consensus is based exclusively on this lateral survey, you're missing the years of prior discussion that afforded editors years to litigate this topic. I would encourage you to reflect on what is more "arbitrary": an editor entering a discussion and asserting it was insufficient and demanding its reopening (without any suggestion there are parties desiring to actually oppose the established position), or multiple majorities asserting that reliably-sourced content should be included on the Wiki? ~ Pbritti (talk) 16:59, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
 * On a separate note, thanks for handling that vandalism from that IP. Sorry for their abject rudeness. Geez. ~ Pbritti (talk) 17:05, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Always glad to help with vandalism. As far as everything else, I would encourage you to reevaluate what appears to be some resistance to folks other than "the usuals" weighing in. Here, two separate editors raised an issue with your close, and that should give you pause, especially when one of them is Liz (not to say that Liz's viewpoint is inherently more worthy than anyone else's, just that she is someone who very much knows what she's doing on this site).
 * In any event, the procedural problem is solved. The discussion is reopened. My suggestion would be not to formally close it for at least a couple weeks, if at all (and to consider whether someone uninvolved should do it). But if the discussion comes to a natural end looking anything like it does now, you're not going to need someone to tell you what the consensus is. agt x  17:31, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks again on the vandalism front–that seems to be an issue on this page so if you don't already have it on your watchlist, would you mind adding it? I'd measure what you level against me with regards to new editors. While I strongly disagree with both you and Liz on this "procedural" note (especially when it seems like an initial assessment was made without consideration for the prior discussions), I appreciate your general cordiality (sans that one peculiar call for reevaluation). Let me know if you ever need help or you have more questions about the matters involved in this discussion. I deleted rather than archived some of the debate from on my talk page (some of them were outright mean, and I don't much want to revisit them), so if you want more context to formulate a position on the sources I can send you the diffs that are pertinent just shoot me a ping here, there, or elsewhere! ~ Pbritti (talk) 17:43, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Yup, already watching, and glad to keep doing so. My comments were not intended to be anything other than cordial, including that last. As far as the substance of the debate, this is so far out of my knowledge area that I'm not likely to have an opinion of my own (although I understand the contours of the debate as it has been discussed here + in archives). As long as the folks who know the subject come to a consensus, I'm happy. agt x  18:03, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Both opposing parties in this discussion have now been blocked ( for sockpuppetry). While that does not necessarily get to the merits of this discussion, it has been two weeks since this discussion was reopened with no additional comment. I'm going to post on a couple more of the major Christianity discussion pages to see if we can draw out more participants, but I think a close should be considered at the end of the month. ~ Pbritti (talk) 18:09, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

Pbritti rv for no reason
Youre obnoxious and disruptive 2A01:C23:91E7:BE00:38E8:566D:9E8:C6CD (talk) 10:11, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
 * WP:NPA. ~ Pbritti (talk) 13:02, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Recent changes
I'm under the impression you're the same editor as made the above comment as an IP, so I'm filing this under the section I think you created (if not, feel free to delete one equal sign on either side of the subsection title and promote this to an independent section). You've made a few unexplained changes and added several pieces of unreferenced content. It would be appreciated if you could explain those changes and provide relevant sourcing (or explain where material can be found in present sourcing). If not, I'll restore the version before your changes. ~ Pbritti (talk) 14:27, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Pinging again. Will undo if no response for another 24 hours as multiple notices on multiple pages have been provided. ~ Pbritti (talk) 11:25, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
 * All information is in the sources, no explanation required, i literally just changed the formatting Akhshartag (talk) 12:55, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Per WP:ONUS, no explanation required is an insufficient explanation. Your changes are very much not just changes to formatting. Among the additions you made was the phrase "many Eastern Orthodox Christians hold him in high esteem, venerating him in iconography, liturgy and prayer." You reference this claim to this article, which does not support the claim that he is venerated in iconography or liturgy. You also added "the New yorker", which is a failure to capitalize, italicize, and render an accurate link. You have made numerous other additions that are unreferenced in the changes. Again, these changes will be undone unless you can verify and justify the changes. ~ Pbritti (talk) 01:16, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
 * With no explanation forthcoming, reverting. ~ Pbritti (talk) 03:19, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Pin-pallet escapement

A Roskopf, pin-lever, or pin-pallet escapement is an inexpensive, less accurate version of the lever escapement, used in mechanical alarm clocks, kitchen timers, mantel clocks and, until the 1970s, cheap watches now known as pin lever watches. It was popularized by German watchmaker Georges Frederic Roskopf in its "proletarian watch" from 1867. It was invented in 1798 by Louis Perron, of Besançon, and suggested to Roskopf by Jules Grossmann.

Background
An escapement is the mechanism in a mechanical timepiece that gives the balance wheel pushes to keep it moving back and forth, and releases the timepiece's gears to advance a fixed amount with each swing of the wheel, thus moving the hands forward at a steady rate. The pin pallet escapement is similar to the lever escapement, which is used in quality watches, except that the horizontal jewel pallets on the lever are replaced with vertical metal pins, and the shape of the escape wheel teeth is modified.

The pin pallet escapement was widely used as it had many of the advantages of the lever escapement but was easier to manufacture. The pallets in a traditional lever escapement have two angled faces, the locking face and the impulse face, which engage the escape wheel teeth. They must be adjusted to precisely correct angles for the escapement to function. In the pin pallet escapement these faces are designed into the shape of the escape wheel teeth instead, eliminating the need for costly adjustments. However, the metal pins used instead of pallets have much higher friction than jewelled pallets, and combined with the looser manufacturing tolerances this made pin pallet timepieces less accurate. The metal pins also wear more quickly. Pin pallet timepieces are usually too cheap to justify repairing, and are usually thrown away when they break down or wear out.

History
Roskopf used the escapement in his visionary project to manufacture a 'laborer's watch', a pocket watch, which would sell for less than a week's wages of an unskilled laborer. The innovative Roskopf watch, which came out in 1876, won awards and was widely imitated, being made in various forms until about 1925. In the US, the escapement was used in cheap dollar watches. It continued to be used in cheap wristwatches when they gained popularity after World War I. To keep costs down, pin-pallet watches usually didn't have any jeweled bearings, using plain steel bearings instead, although sometimes one jewel was incorporated for advertising purposes. An exception is Timex and Oris who in the 1960s produced fully jeweled pin-pallet watches. By 1980 inexpensive quartz watches took over the market for low-end watches which pin pallet watches had dominated, and production ceased. Quartz technology is gradually replacing the last uses of pin pallet movements in timers and alarm clocks.

Brocot escapement
Another escapement also called a "pin pallet escapement", unrelated to the Roskopf above, is the Brocot escapement, invented in 1823 by Louis-Gabriel Brocot and improved by his son Achille, and used in 19th century French pendulum clocks. It is a variation of the anchor escapement in which the pallets are semicircular pins. The escapement is often revealed in a cutout on the clock's face.

Mercedes-Benz M113 engine

The Mercedes-Benz M113 (and similar M155) engine is a gasoline-fueled, spark-ignition internal-combustion V8 automobile engine family used in the 2000s. It is based on the similar M112 V6 introduced in 1997, then later phased out in 2007 for the M156 AMG engine and the M273 engine.

The standard Mercedes-Benz M113s were built in Untertürkheim, Germany, while the AMG versions were assembled at AMG's Affalterbach, Germany plant. M113s have aluminum/silicon (Alusil) engine blocks and aluminum SOHC cylinder heads with two spark plugs per cylinder. The cylinder heads have 3 valves per cylinder (two intake, one exhaust). Other features include sequential fuel injection, iron coated piston skirts, fracture-split forged steel connecting rods, a one-piece cast camshaft, and a magnesium intake manifold.

E43
The M113 43 is a 4266 cc version. Bore and stroke is 89.9x84 mm. Power output is 279 PS at 5,750 rpm with 400 Nm of torque at 3,000 rpm. Output for the variant used in the C 43 AMG is uprated to 306 PS at 5,850 rpm and 410 Nm at 3,250 rpm.

Applications:
 * M113.940: 1997–2002 E 430 (W210)
 * M113.941: 1997–2005 S 430 (W220)

E55 AMG
The M113 55 is a 5439 cc version with the same 97 mm bore as the M113 50/500 but with a longer 92 mm stroke developed by Mercedes-AMG. These cars were the first to carry the 55 AMG title. Power output is 347 to 367 PS at 5,500–5,750 rpm with 510 to 530 Nm of torque at 2,800–5,400 rpm. Many popular tuners such as Kleemann USA and AMG itself developed supercharger systems for this model, mirroring the later M113 E55 ML design. The engine has a power output of 400 hp at 5,750 rpm and 519 Nm of torque at 3,750 rpm in the SLK55 AMG Black Series.

Applications:
 * 1997 CLK 55 AMG F1 safety car (C208)

E55K AMG
The M113 Kompressor is a supercharged and twin-intercooled version of the 5439 cc M113. It is commonly referred to as "M113K" – where 'K' stands for Kompressor (supercharger). Power output varies depending on year and model, from 469 bhp at 6,100 rpm for the E 55 AMG to 574 bhp in the 2004–2006 CLK DTM AMG, with 700 to 800 Nm of torque at 2,750–4,000 rpm. Many Mercedes-AMG enthusiasts consider the M113K as the last of the great Kompressor engines used by Mercedes-AMG excluding the Mercedes SLR McLaren. The M113K engine has also received praise for its reliability. Mercedes-AMG replaced this model with their new 6.2 L naturally aspirated V8, making the transition from 55 AMG to the 63 AMG.

Strathcona (federal electoral district)

Strathcona was a federal electoral district in the Northwest Territories and Alberta, Canada, that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1904 to 1925. It was centred on the town (later city) of Strathcona, later a part of Edmonton.

When it was created, the riding was part of the North-West Territories. It was huge. It stretched from the present western boundary of Alberta (at the time the western boundary of the provisional district of Alberta) east well into what is now the Province of Saskatchewan. It was wholly on the south side of the North Saskatchewan River, while Edmonton was on the north side.

In 1905, when Saskatchewan and Alberta became provinces, the riding found itself split between them. In 1907, it was redrawn to fall entirely in Alberta, with the Saskatchewan part being transferred to the Battleford riding. Strathcona was abolished in 1925 when it was redistributed between Edmonton East, Edmonton West Vegreville and Wetaskiwin ridings.

The federal riding of Edmonton Strathcona/Edmonton-Strathcona was reborn in 1953. It covers a part of urban Edmonton that had once been in the pre-1924 Strathcona federal riding.

Members of Parliament
This riding elected the following members of Parliament:

 * 1) Peter Talbot, Liberal (1904–1906)
 * 2) Wilbert McIntyre, Liberal (1906–1909)
 * 3) James McCrie Douglas, Liberal (after 1911 election became Unionist, later becoming a Conservative (1909–1921)
 * 4) Daniel Webster Warner, Progressive (1921–1925)

Election results
* Gregory ran under auspices of the Lacombe-based Farmers Association of Alberta. He spoke in favour of nationalization of the railways, protection for the farmers and government loans to farmers.

By-election: On Mr. Talbot's appointment to the Senate, 8 March 1906, he resigned his House of Commons seat.

By-election: On Mr. McIntyre's death, 21 July 1909

Hacktivismo Enhanced-Source Software License Agreement

The Hacktivismo Enhanced-Source Software License Agreement (HESSLA) is a software license proposed by Hacktivismo that attempts to put ethical restrictions on use and modification of software released under it.

The license was written by Oxblood Ruffin (of Hacktivismo and CULT OF THE DEAD COW) and Eric Grimm, an attorney with the EFF.

The HESSLA allows for enhancements to be made and for derivative works to be created, but it prohibits the use or modification of the software to violate human rights or to introduce features that spy on the user. It is intended to be a legally enforceable document. However, due to these restrictions, it is not technically a free software license or an open source license, though it was inspired by free software and open source licenses.

Criticism
HESSLA has been criticized by the Free Software Foundation for introducing restrictions that they claim are ineffective for preventing abuse, but introduce legal incompatibility with other licenses. It also is listed as a good example of a human rights license in the Creative Commons wiki.

Derivatives
The web browser xB Browser was temporarily based on the Torrify Ethical Software License Agreement (TESLA) which was built upon HESSLA.

Resubmitting this for peer review since it has undergone some cleanup and now contains several nice images. I'm hoping to get this up to FAC quality. The archive of my last request can be found at Peer review/Oakland Cemetery/archive1. -- uberpenguin 19:09, 2005 Apr 20 (UTC)
 * The article looks great. A few little questions, how long unitl the space runs out, who is responsible for caretaking and how much does it cost the city, does this cemetary have problems with vandalism? --nixie 08:23, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Responses to these questions:
 * "How long until the space runs out"
 * "An estimated 70,000 people are interred at Oakland and while the last plots were sold in 1884, there are still regular burials today." (second paragraph of intro, emphasis added) -- The cemetery has long been fully allocated and there is no more room to expand its borders. Do you think this is significant enough to add more information on it, or do you think the short mention in the intro paragraphs is suficient?
 * "Who is responsible for caretaking," "does the cemetery have problems with vandalism"
 * See the short section Historic Oakland Foundation -- There is some damage that is the direct result of vandalism (notably an incident in the mid 1980s that is alluded to at the end of the paragraph about the Jewish section), but most damage in Oakland is due to the passing of time or isn't easily attributed to any thing.
 * "how much does it cost the city"
 * "Since Oakland is not and was never a perpetual care cemetery, (...)" (first sentence of Historic Oakland Foundation section) -- This should imply that the City isn't really responsible for Oakland.

 * All of your questions are already briefly covered. I can go into more detail on any of them if you think that would be of benefit to the article (tell me if you think so).  Thanks for your suggestions! -- uberpenguin 17:11, 2005 Apr 21 (UTC)
 * How is the historic society funded, and one more thing, where are people from Atlanta being buried now since most of them won't get burried here?--nixie 13:11, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Oakland is funded mostly by donation, I'll include that in the article. As for your second question, remember that Atlanta is very large city with a huge metro area.  There are literally hundreds of cemeteries in and around it, and trying to comment on this wouldn't be very condusive to clarity or brevity. -- uberpenguin 16:45, 2005 Apr 22 (UTC)

 * Looks great. I'd say off to WP:FAC with you soon. I couldn't really find any issues with it. - Taxman 16:18, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)

Údarás na Gaeltachta

Údarás na Gaeltachta (meaning "Gaeltacht Authority"), abbreviated UnaG, is a regional state agency which is responsible for the economic, social and cultural development of Irish-speaking (Gaeltacht) regions of Ireland. Its stated purpose is to strengthen the Gaeltacht communities, to increase the quality of life of its community members and facilitate the preservation and extension of the Irish language as the principal language of the region. It gives funding to small local businesses that have to compete with foreign companies.

History
It was originally established in 1980 under the Údarás na Gaeltachta Act, 1979, superseding its predecessor Gaeltarra Éireann which had been established in 1957 under the Gaeltacht Industries Act of the same year.

It has a strong role in attracting enterprise into Gaeltacht areas, many of which are isolated and economically disadvantaged. The European Union grant-aid is often provided to indigenous startup companies. They are also involved in the setting up of community co-operatives and employment schemes.

Governance
Údarás na Gaeltachta has a 12-member board. In accordance with the Údarás na Gaeltachta Act, 1979, as amended by the Gaeltacht Act 2012, the Minister with responsibility for the Gaeltacht appoints the board members for a period not exceeding five years, five of these on the nomination of county councils from counties which include Gaeltacht areas.

The head office of Údarás na Gaeltachta is in Furbo, County Galway, with regional offices in Derrybeg, County Donegal, Belmullet County Mayo, Dingle, County Kerry and Ballymakeera, County Cork. The current chairperson is Anna Ní Ghallachair from Arranmore, County Donegal.

Constituencies
From 1979 to 2012, some members of the board were elected by popular vote of Gaeltacht residents. These single transferable vote constituencies were as follows:

Crab cavity

Crab cavities are a form of electromagnetic cavity used in particle accelerators to provide a transverse deflection to particle bunches. They can be used to provide rotation to a charged particle bunch by applying a time varying magnetic field. This rotation of the bunch can be used as a diagnostic tool to measure the length of a bunch (the longitudinal dimension is projected into the transverse plane, and imaged) or as a means of increasing the luminosity at an interaction point of a collider if the colliding beams cross each other at an angle (then called crab crossing). The KEKB accelerator introduced this technology in its last upgrade.

Rukmini Devi Arundale

Rukmini Devi Arundale (née Shastri; 29 February 1904 – 24 February 1986) was an Indian theosophist, dancer and choreographer of the Indian classical dance form of Bharatanatyam, and an activist for animal welfare.

She was the first woman in Indian history to be nominated as a member of the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of the Parliament of India. The most important revivalist of Bharatanatyam from its original 'sadhir' style prevalent amongst the temple dancers, the Devadasis, she also worked for the re-establishment of traditional Indian arts and crafts.

She espoused the cause of Bharata Natyam which was considered a vulgar art. She 'sanitised' and removed the inherent eroticism of Sadhir to make it palatable to Indian upper-caste elites and the British morality of the era.

Rukmini Devi features in India Today's list of '100 People Who Shaped India'. She was awarded the Padma Bhushan in 1956, and the Sangeet Natak Akademi Fellowship in 1967.

Early life and marriage
Rukmini Devi was born in a Brahmin family on 29 February 1904 in Madurai of Tamil Nadu. Her father, Neelakanta Shastri, was an engineer with the Public Works Department and a scholar, and her mother Seshammal was a music enthusiast. He had a transferable job and the family moved frequently. He was introduced to the Theosophical Society in 1901. Her brother, Nilakanta Sri Ram, later became the President of the Theosophical Society. Deeply influenced by the Theosophical Movement as a follower of Dr Annie Besant, Neelakanta Shastri moved to Adyar, Chennai after retirement, where he built his home near the headquarters of the Theosophical Society Adyar. It was here that young Rukmini was exposed to not just theosophical thought, but also to new ideas on culture, theatre, music, and dance. Her meeting with the prominent British theosophist Dr George Arundale—a close associate of Annie Besant and later the principal of the Central Hindu College in Varanasi—led to her building a lasting bond with him.

They married in 1920 when she turned 16 and he was 26 years her senior at 42, much to the shock of the then conservative society. After marriage, she traveled around the world, meeting fellow theosophists and also forging friendships with the educator Maria Montessori, and the poet James Cousins. In 1923, she became the President of the All-India Federation of Young Theosophists, and the President of the World Federation of Young Theosophists in 1925.

In 1928, the famous Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova visited Bombay and the Arundale couple went to her performance, and later happened to travel on the same ship as her, to Australia where she was to perform next; over the course of the journey their friendship grew, and soon Rukmini Devi started learning dance from one of Anna's leading solo dancers, Cleo Nordi. It was later, at the behest of Anna, that Rukmini Devi turned her attention to discovering traditional Indian dance forms which had fallen to disrepute, and dedicated the rest of her life to their revival.

Revivalism
In 1933, at the Annual Conference of Madras Music Academy, she saw for the first time, a performance of the dance form called the Sadhir. Later she learnt the dance from Mylapore Gowri Amma and finally with the help of E Krishna Iyer from 'Pandanallur Meenakshi Sundaram Pillai'. In 1935, Rukmini Devi gave her first public performance at the 'Diamond Jubilee Convention of the Theosophical Society. In January 1936, she along with her husband, established Kalakshetra, an academy of dance and music, built around the ancient Indian Gurukul system, at Adyar, at Chennai. Today the academy is a deemed university under the Kalakshetra Foundation and is situated in its new in 100 acre campus in Tiruvanmiyur, Chennai, where it shifted, in 1962. Amongst its noted students are Radha Burnier, Sarada Hoffman, Anjali Mehr, Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay, Sanjukta Panigrahi, C V Chandrasekhar, Yamini Krishnamurthy and Leela Samson.

Originally known as sadhir (சதிராட்டம்), the Indian classical dance form of Bharatanatyam owes its current name, to E Krishna Iyer and Rukmini Devi Arundale, who had been instrumental in modifying mainly the Pandanallur style of Bharatanatyam and bringing it to the global attention, and removing the extraneous sringaar and erotic elements from the dance, which were the legacy of its Devadasi association in the past. Soon she changed the very face of the dance, by introducing musical instruments, like violin, set and lighting design elements, and innovative costumes, and jewellery inspired by the temple sculptures. Just as for her teacher she approached noted gurus in various arts and classical dances, for her productions, Rukmini Devi approached noted scholars for inspiration and classical musicians and artists, for collaboration, the result was the creation some of pioneering dance dramas-based on Indian epics like the Valmiki's Ramayana and Jayadeva's Gita Govinda. Starting with famous dance dramas like, 'Sita Swayamvaram', 'Sri Rama Vanagamanam', 'Paduka Pattabhishekam' and 'Sabari Moksham', followed by 'Kutrala Kuruvanji', 'Ramayana', 'Kumara Sambhavam', 'Gita Govindam' and 'Usha Parinayam'.

Schools based on the Montessori method were first started in India, when Dr George Arundale invited Dr Maria Montessori to start courses in the 'Besant Theosophical High School' in 1939, and later also established, the 'Besant Arundale Senior Secondary School', The College of Fine Arts, The Besant Theosophical High School, The Maria Montessori School for Children, The Craft Education and Research Centre and the U V Swaminatha Iyer Library, within the Kalakshetra campus.

Later years
Rukmini Devi was nominated as a member of the Indian Parliament's Council of States (the Rajya Sabha) in April 1952 and re-nominated in 1956. She was the first Indian woman to be nominated in Rajya Sabha. Keenly interested in animal welfare, she was associated with various humanitarian organisations, and as a member of the Rajya Sabha, was instrumental for the legislation for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and for later setting up of the Animal Welfare Board of India, under her chairmanship in 1962. She remained on the board until her demise in 1986.

She did much work to promote vegetarianism in the country. She was vice-president of International Vegetarian Union for 31 years from 1955, until her death.

In 1977, Morarji Desai offered to nominate her for the post of President of India twice, which she turned down. In 1978, 'Kalamkari Centre' (pencraft) was set up at Kalakshetra to revitalise the ancient Indian craft of textile printing. On encouragement from Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay, she encouraged natural dyeing and weaving at Kalakshetra. She died on 24 February 1986 in Chennai.

Legacy
In January 1994, an Act of the Indian Parliament recognised the Kalakshetra Foundation as an 'Institute of National Importance'.

Year-long celebrations, including lectures, seminars and festivals marked her 100th birth anniversary, on 29 February, in 2004 at Kalakshetra and elsewhere in many parts of the world, At the campus the day was marked by special function in which old students gathered from across India and the world, in a day of songs and recitals. Also on 29 February, a photo exhibition on her life opened at the Lalit Kala Gallery in New Delhi, and on the same day, then President APJ Abdul Kalam released a photo-biography, written and compiled by Dr Sunil Kothari with a foreword by former president R Venkataraman.

In 2016, Google honored Rukmini Devi on her 112th birthday with a doodle, and later in the month marking the 80th year of the Kalakshetra Foundation held, 'Remembering Rukmini Devi’ festival of music and dance. Google also featured her in the 2017 Google Doodle for International Women's Day.

Montes Taurus

Montes Taurus is a rugged, jumbled mountainous region on the Moon. It is located to the east of the Mare Serenitatis, in the northeastern quadrant of the Moon's near side. Coordinates of their center are 27.32°N, 40.34°W, and their extent is about 170 km.

Montes Taurus are rather unimpressive and indistinct compared to other named lunar mountain systems. It is a broad hilly region without sharp borders. These mountains reach maximal height between craters Kirchhoff and Newcomb (4.9 km above Mare Serenitatis and 2.1 km above mean level of lunar surface).

A number of craters lie embedded within this range. At the southwestern edge of the region is the crater Römer, and Newcomb is located in the northeastern section. Several satellite craters also lie throughout the Montes Taurus. The southwestern edge of this region hosts Taurus–Littrow valley, the landing site of the crewed Apollo 17 mission.

Name
The Montes Taurus are named after the Taurus Mountains in southern Turkey. This name appeared on the lunar map due to Johannes Hevelius, who used to name lunar features after terrestrial ones. But he assigned this name (in the form Mons Taurus) to a completely different feature — one of bright rays of crater Tycho. The item of this article was designated as Taurica Chersonnesus, because Hevelius tried to establish a correspondence between lunar regions and regions of vicinity of Mediterranean sea, and on his map this lunar region corresponded to Crimea (historically known as Tauris or Tauric Chersonese). Later lunar cartographers began to call it Montes Taurus, and in 1935 this name was adopted by International Astronomical Union.

Greenland Ice Sheet Project

The Greenland Ice Sheet Project (GISP) was a decade-long project to drill ice cores in Greenland that involved scientists and funding agencies from Denmark, Switzerland and the United States. Besides the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), funding was provided by the Swiss National Science Foundation and the Danish Commission for Scientific Research in Greenland. The ice cores provide a proxy archive of temperature and atmospheric constituents that help to understand past climate variations.

The preliminary GISP field work started in 1971 at Dye 3 (65°N, -43°W), where a 372 meter deep, 10.2 cm diameter core was recovered. After this, annual field expeditions were carried out to drill intermediate depth cores at various locations on the ice sheet. The first was a 398 m core at Milcent and another was a 405 m core at the Crete station in 1974. After working out various logistical and engineering problems related to the development of a more sophisticated drilling rig, drilling to bedrock at Dye 3 began in the summer of 1979 using a new Danish electro-mechanical ice drill. In the first year, an 18 cm diameter hole was drilled and cased to a depth of 80 m. Coring continued for two more seasons, and on August 10, 1981, bedrock was reached at a depth of 2037 m. The Dye 3 site was a compromise: glaciologically, a higher site on the ice divide with smooth bedrock would have been better; logistically, such a site would have been too remote.

GISP2
There was a follow-up U.S. GISP2 project, which drilled at a glaciologically better location on the summit of the ice sheet. This hit bedrock (and drilled another 1.55 m into bedrock) on July 1, 1993 after five years of drilling, while European scientists produced a parallel core in the GRIP project. GISP2 produced an ice core 3053.44 meters in depth, the deepest ice core recovered in the world at the time.

The location of the GISP2 drilling was revisited annually during summer campaigns to investigate the post-depositional properties of gasses and aerosols in the firn. Eventually, GISP2 and Summit Camp became the site of a year-round NSF / NOAA climate observatory and research facility known as the Greenland Environmental Observatory or GEOSummit.

The bulk of the GISP2 ice core is archived at the National Ice Core Laboratory in Lakewood, Colorado, United States.

The Egoist (periodical)

The Egoist (subtitled An Individualist Review) was a London literary magazine published from 1914 to 1919, during which time it published important early modernist poetry and fiction. In its manifesto, it claimed to "recognise no taboos", and published a number of controversial works, such as parts of Ulysses. Today, it is considered "England's most important Modernist periodical."

History
The Egoist was founded by Dora Marsden as a successor to her feminist magazine The New Freewoman, but was changed, under the influence of Ezra Pound, into a literary magazine. Pound got his benefactor John Quinn to buy him an editorial position in the magazine, and quickly it became a leading publication for imagist poetry. Its group of friends and contributors includes almost every writer of significance of the time, though some, like D. H. Lawrence (whose "Once" was published in the magazine in 1914), came to denounce it for "editorial sloppiness" and for the philosophical attitudes of its editorial staff. Among the work published in The Egoist is the work of James Joyce and T. S. Eliot, as well as letters and criticism.

Marsden was the editor in the first half of 1914, when it was a fortnightly; for most of its life it was a monthly. Editorship was taken over in July 1914 by Harriet Shaw Weaver. Assistant editors were Richard Aldington and Leonard A. Compton-Rickett, with H. D. When Aldington left in 1917 for the Army, his place was taken by T. S. Eliot, who was also working on Prufrock and other Observations at the time (published as a small book by The Egoist). When it folded in 1919, there were only 400 subscribers, down from 2,000 in 1911 when it was The Freewoman.

Notable contributions

 * T. S. Eliot, "Tradition and the Individual Talent", vol. 6, nos. 4 & 5 (September & December 1919).
 * James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, starting in 1914; three-and-a-half sections of Ulysses (1919)
 * Wyndham Lewis, Tarr, April 1916 – November 1917.
 * Charlotte Mew, "Fête", May 1914
 * William Carlos Williams, "The Wanderer" and seven other poems, March 1914; "Transitional" and three other poems, December 1914

Anthony Hardy

Anthony John Hardy (31 May 1951 – 25 November 2020) was an English serial killer who was known as the Camden Ripper for dismembering some of his victims. In November 2003, he was sentenced to three life terms for three murders, but police believe he may have been responsible for up to six more.

Early life
Born in Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire Hardy had an apparently uneventful childhood and excelled in school and college. He earned an engineer's degree from Imperial College London and subsequently became the manager of a large company. Hardy married and fathered three sons and one daughter; in 1982, he was arrested in Tasmania for trying to drown his wife, but the charges were later dropped. In 1986, Hardy's wife, Judith, divorced him. After the divorce, Hardy spent time in mental hospitals, diagnosed with bipolar disorder. He was also treated in psychiatric hospitals across London for depression, drug-induced psychosis and alcohol abuse. He lived in various hostels in London, picking up convictions for theft and being drunk and disorderly. He was arrested in 1998 when a prostitute accused him of raping her, but the charges were dropped due to lack of evidence. He became an alcoholic and diabetic.

Murders
In January 2002, police were called to the block of flats where Hardy lived by a neighbour complaining that someone had vandalised her front door and that she strongly suspected Hardy. When the police investigated Hardy's flat, they found a locked door and, despite his claims to the contrary, found that Hardy had a key to it. In the room the police found the naked dead body of a woman lying on a bed with cuts and bruises to her head. She was identified as Sally White, 38, a prostitute who had been living in London.

Forensic pathologist Freddy Patel subsequently concluded that White had died of a heart attack, in spite of the circumstances. Patel later came under scrutiny for this and other findings in his career, including the 2009 death of Ian Tomlinson, resulting in a suspension from the government's register of pathologists pending an inquiry. In 2012, he was struck off the medical register by the General Medical Council, meaning that he can no longer practise medicine in the United Kingdom.

Hardy pleaded guilty to a charge of criminal damage and claimed he had no knowledge of how White came to be in his flat due to his drinking problem. Whilst in custody Hardy was transferred to a psychiatric hospital, under section 37 of the Mental Health Act 1983, remaining there until November 2002.

Arrest and trial
On 30 December 2002, a homeless person scavenging in rubbish bins found the dismembered body parts of two women, wrapped in black plastic bin-liners. The victims were identified as Bridgette MacClennan, 34, and Elizabeth Valad, 29. The investigation led to Hardy, who was arrested a week later. He had gone on the run, but was spotted by an off-duty policeman when he went to University College Hospital to collect his prescription for insulin. During a search of the grounds of the hospital, Hardy was found hiding behind bins. A fight took place as he resisted arrest, during the course of which a police officer was knocked unconscious and another officer was stabbed through the hand and had his eye dislocated from its socket. Despite suffering these injuries, the wounded police officer held Hardy until backup arrived and he was arrested at the scene. A subsequent search of his flat found evidence, including old blood stains, indicating the two women had been killed and dismembered there. Both had died over the Christmas holidays.

Under arrest, Hardy simply replied "no comment" to every question put to him by police. He was eventually charged with the murders of both MacClennan and Valad, and of White, the woman whose death had originally been put down to natural causes. At his trial in November 2003 Hardy, despite his initial lack of cooperation with the police, abruptly changed his plea to guilty to all three counts of murder and was sentenced to life imprisonment. Because of Hardy's history of psychiatric problems and violent behaviour, an independent enquiry was announced into his care.

Hardy was diagnosed with a personality disorder. In May 2010, a High Court judge decided that Hardy should never be released from prison, placing him on the list of whole life tariff prisoners. Mr Justice Keith, sitting in London, said: "This is one of those exceptionally rare cases in which life should mean life."

Death
Hardy died of pneumonia at HM Prison Frankland, County Durham, on 25 November 2020, aged 69.

Possible links to other murders
It was originally reported that police believed Hardy was possibly connected to the unsolved cases of two prostitutes found dismembered and dumped in the River Thames, and up to five or six other murders that bore marked similarities to the ones for which he was convicted but where not enough evidence was available directly implicating him. One of the murders Hardy was originally linked to, that of London sex worker Paula Fields whose body was dumped in the Thames in 2001, was in fact solved in 2011 when John Sweeney was convicted of her murder.

Murder of Zoe Parker
The other Thames sex worker murder that was linked to Hardy was that of Zoe Parker, who had last been seen in Hounslow in December 2000 before her dismembered torso was found in the river. Possible links between Hardy and the Parker case were noted in the press as soon as he was apprehended in January 2003, with detectives saying that "he is a suspect for the unsolved murders of any women whose bodies have been cut up and dumped". The lower half of Parker's body was never found. Investigators were of the opinion that the body had been cut up with something sharp like a Samurai sword.

Parker's incomplete body had been found on 17 December 2000, 11 days after she disappeared. The torso was found next to Chelsea Harbour on the Thames. She was 24 years old and was also known as Cathy Dennis. She travelled around west London seeking clients, moving between Isleworth, Feltham, Hounslow and sometimes the West End, and on the night she disappeared she was in Hounslow. She was said to have often started up conversations with strangers. On the night she went missing she was seen with two men described as white and with dark hair. One was wearing a white casual jacket, dark trousers and white trainers. The other man was stocky and wearing dark clothing. Investigators also asked for a woman named Carmen or Carmel to come forward as they believed she had information on the murder, saying she was apparently a friend of Parker and came from the Hounslow or Isleworth area.

Other cases
Two of the murders linked to Hardy occurred in Nottinghamshire, near to where Hardy grew up in Burton-on-Trent.

In 2013, high-profile criminologist David Wilson released a documentary on Hardy as part of his Killers Behind Bars: The Untold Story series, in which he examined claims Hardy could be linked to the murders of London sex workers Sharon Hoare in Fulham in 1991 and Christine McGovern in Walthamstow in 1995.

In popular culture
Hardy was the subject of an episode of Evil Up Close on the Crime and Investigation Network, focusing on the 2010 decision to keep Hardy in prison for the rest of his life. The film was directed by Robert Murray and written and produced by Will Hanrahan.

After Hardy was imprisoned, British rap artist Plan B released his song "Suzanne", dubbing Hardy as the 'Camden Ripper' and describing the murder of a fictional prostitute named Suzanne Smith.

Hardy is also mentioned, and his flat pointed out, in the music video "Guided tour of Camden" by Charlie Sloth.

Hardy was the subject of a Channel 4 documentary, The Hunt for the Camden Ripper, broadcast in 2004. It was narrated by Juliet Stevenson and directed by Olly Lambert.

Spinout (film)

Spinout is a 1966 American musical comedy film starring Elvis Presley as the lead singer of a band and part-time race car driver. The film was #57 on the year-end list of the top-grossing films of 1966. It was titled California Holiday in the UK.

Plot
Mike McCoy (Elvis Presley), the lead singer for a traveling band who is also a part-time race car driver, enjoys his carefree single life, which is threatened by three women who seek to marry him.

Enter Cynthia Foxhugh (Shelley Fabares), a spoiled heiress and "daddy's girl," who is determined to get what she wants, no matter the cost. Such as was the case when Cynthia's millionaire father Howard (Carl Betz) tricks Mike and his band into interrupting their music tour to travel to Santa Barbara and serenade Cynthia with "Am I Ready" for her birthday. Cynthia becomes first of the three women who want to marry Mike. Also, apparently knowing about Mike's racing skills, Howard is determined to hire Mike to drive Howard's Fox Five car in an upcoming road race, but Mike prefers to race his own car, a Cobra 427 sports car, which he tows around the region with his 1929 Model J Duesenberg.

Meanwhile, Mike is stalked and spied upon by Diana St. Clair (Diane McBain), an author of books for women about men. Diana is in the process of writing her new book, The Perfect American Male, and uses Mike as one of her subjects. Actually, she later reveals to Mike that he is the "perfect American male," thereby planning on Mike to marry her—to the point of already making wedding arrangements.

The female drummer of Mike's band, Les (Deborah Walley), is looked upon by Mike and the other band members as a tomboy, and becomes fed up with such treatment. Mike and his other band members are taken aback when at a party, Les picks her moment and reveals her true feminine side, walking back out from a room dressed up in an evening dress. She reveals herself as the third woman who wishes to marry Mike.

Faced with this predicament, Mike must decide which of the three women he will marry—after the race (which Mike wins in a car he does not even own). So, he decides to marry all three of them—to other men. Mike marries Cynthia to Phillip (Warren Berlinger), a nervous employee of Howard's who is prone to fainting (he had a secret crush on Cynthia since he has known her, which he finally picks up the nerve to tell her). Next, Mike marries Diana to Howard, who fell in love with each other after they met at one of Mike's parties. And finally, Mike marries Les to Lt. Tracy Richards (Will Hutchins), a police officer whom Les won her way to his heart through his stomach (he likes her gourmet cooking). This allows Mike to reclaim his single and carefree life, which he dearly enjoys.

Cast

 * Elvis Presley as Mike McCoy
 * Shelley Fabares as Cynthia Foxhugh
 * Diane McBain as Diana St. Clair
 * Dodie Marshall as Susan
 * Deborah Walley as Les
 * Jack Mullaney as Curly
 * Will Hutchins as Lt. Tracy Richards
 * Warren Berlinger as Philip Short
 * Jimmy Hawkins as Larry
 * Carl Betz as Howard Foxhugh
 * Cecil Kellaway as Bernard Ranley
 * Una Merkel as Violet Ranley
 * Frederick Worlock as Blodgett
 * Dave Barry as Harry

Production
The film was shot from February 21 to April 7, 1966.

Presley was paid $750,000 plus 40% of the profits.

The racing scenes were shot at Paramount Ranch Raceway.

The script was written by Theodore Flicker and George Kirgo. They originally pitched the idea of a film based on Presley's life, but this was vetoed by Col. Parker. Working titles include Never Say No, Never Say Yes, and The Singing Racing Car Driver. Flicker eventually left the project to work on The President's Analyst and Michael Hoey worked on the script uncredited with Kirgo.

There is a scene in the film where Mike was discussing with his band members the pitfalls of marriage and settling down, and Mike mentions being on the Ed Sullivan Show. This line was likely written as an inside reference to Presley's 1956 appearances on Ed Sullivan.

There is also a scene where Mike and his troupe are having dinner at their makeshift camp when they are approached by a stray dog. Although the dog appeared to be a Labrador Retriever, Mike suddenly exclaims, "Look, a hound dog!" This line was also likely written in as a play on Presley's hit song.

Jack Mullaney, who also appeared with Presley in Tickle Me (1965), plays Curly, one of the male band members.

Jimmy Hawkins, who plays Larry, the other male band member, also appeared with both Presley and Fabares in Girl Happy and coincidentally portrayed one of Presley's band members in that film, as well.

Carl Betz (Howard) and Shelley Fabares (Cynthia) had played father and daughter before, on The Donna Reed Show.

Reception
A. H. Weiler of The New York Times called the film a "minor variation" on Presley's previous pictures. Variety declared it "an entertaining Elvis Presley comedy-tuner ... Well-produced by Joe Pasternak and directed with verve by Norman Taurog." Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times called it "perhaps [Presley's] best picture yet," with a "first-rate" cast, while writers Theodore J. Flicker and George Kirgo "have managed to parody the typical Presley plot so deftly that they neither insult Elvis nor alienate his devoted fans." The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote that the film was "delivered with sufficient joie de vivre to make its nonsensical compound of ballad and beat, car racing and unlikely romantic complication, entertaining enough in its own way," though the review noted that Presley "largely maintains a rather morose demeanour" throughout the film and that "even his singing style seems to have lost some of its old bounce and energy."

Filmink felt Presley and Fabares had none of the chemistry they showed in Girl Happy.

The film was included in the 1978 book, The Fifty Worst Films of All Time (and How They Got That Way), by Harry Medved, Randy Dreyfuss, and Michael Medved.

Signs (Snoop Dogg song)

"Signs" is a song by American West Coast hip hop recording artist Snoop Dogg. It was released in United States and United Kingdom on April 25, 2005. The song is the third single released from Snoop Dogg's seventh studio album, R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece (2004). The song was produced by The Neptunes and features guest appearances by Charlie Wilson and Justin Timberlake.

The edited version of the song is used for the 2005 film Guess Who which stars Ashton Kutcher and Bernie Mac. The song is played once during the film and again during the end credits.

Themes
The song looks at the topic of romance from several points of view, and in doing so, touches on other subjects such as illegal drugs, the city of Los Angeles, the perceived glamour of gang culture, and the lavish, hedonistic lifestyle led by many rappers and musicians.

The chorus, sung by Justin Timberlake, is about the moment when a man thinks a woman to whom he is sexually attracted may also be attracted to him. The man second-guesses what he thinks he has seen, expressing a wish that love (personified as Cupid in classical fashion) should not play around with his emotions. Meanwhile, another male observer (voiced by Snoop Dogg) opines that the Timberlake character is out of his element and should not bother attempting to further relations between himself and the object of his affection, since he lacks the necessary gangster credentials.

The verses of the song, rapped by Snoop Dogg, mainly following Snoop Dogg's attempts to charm a woman or women. The first verse starts with a brief introduction boasting about the song's hit potential, due to the involvement of Snoop himself and producers the Neptunes. Snoop then appears to become distracted by a passing woman, and attempts to charm her by offering to procure cannabis for her and mentioning his gang, the Crips. In the second verse, Snoop boasts about the glamorous side of his home city, Los Angeles. In the third verse (or bridging section), he redoubles his efforts at seduction by promising his interlocutor a flight on a private jet to London and the holiday resorts of Ibiza and watching Venus and Serena Williams in the Wimbledon tennis championships.

Charlie Wilson then provides a more experienced point of view on love, advising all concerned not to be foolish, to appreciate what they have, and not to be distracted by "a pretty face". This implies that the Timberlake and Snoop characters may already be in relationships, and are considering infidelity with the women mentioned in the song.

The song's three vocalists thus show three stages of a man's romantic life: Timberlake as the young ingenue; Snoop Dogg as the Casanova in his prime; and Wilson as the experienced older man dispensing advice to his younger companions.

Music video
The music video was directed by Paul Hunter and takes place in an underground boxing gym and at a casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was the most played video on the UK version of The Box in 2005.

Reception
The single reached number two on the UK Singles Chart in May 2005 and number 46 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. However, it was more popular in Australia staying at No. 1 on the Australian Singles Chart for two weeks.

It was performed by Snoop Dogg at the Live 8 concert in London on July 2, 2005, along with a few of his other hits.

The song interpolates some lyrics from The Gap Band's 1982 "Early in the Morning" and Cheryl Lynn's 1978 "Got to Be Real".

Critical reception
David Jeffries highlighted and praised: "The up-tempo "Signs" with Justin Timberlake is glittery disco fun, but it ain't gonna keep Snoop from being himself." RapReviews described: "look for him sharing the spotlight with Snoop and Justin Timberlake on "Signs," although the D-oh-double-G still steals the show:

"It's legit, you know it's a hit When the Neptunes and the Doggy Dogg fin' to spit You know he's in - tune with the season Come here baby, tell me why you leavin? Tell me if it's weed that you need If you wanna breathe, I got the best weed minus seeds Ain't nobody trippin, V.I.P. they can't get in If somethin go wrong then you know we get to crippin"

Justin Timberlake does crip-hop? Sounds wrong, but it comes out just right."

JavaScript engine

A JavaScript engine is a software component that executes JavaScript code. The first JavaScript engines were mere interpreters, but all relevant modern engines use just-in-time compilation for improved performance.

JavaScript engines are typically developed by web browser vendors, and every major browser has one. In a browser, the JavaScript engine runs in concert with the rendering engine via the Document Object Model and Web IDL bindings. However, the use of JavaScript engines is not limited to browsers; for example, the V8 engine is a core component of the Node.js runtime system.

Since ECMAScript is the standardized specification of JavaScript, ECMAScript engine is another name for these implementations. With the advent of WebAssembly, some engines can also execute this code in the same sandbox as regular JavaScript code.

History
The first JavaScript engine was created by Brendan Eich in 1995 for the Netscape Navigator web browser. It was a rudimentary interpreter for the nascent language Eich invented. (This evolved into the SpiderMonkey engine, still used by the Firefox browser. )

Google debuted its Chrome browser in 2008, with the V8 JavaScript engine that was faster than its competition. The key innovation was just-in-time compilation (JIT), which Mozilla had also been working on for SpiderMonkey. Because of V8's performance, the other browser vendors needed to overhaul their engines for JIT. Apple developed the Nitro engine for its Safari browser, which had 30% better performance than its predecessor. Mozilla then leveraged portions of Nitro to improve SpiderMonkey.

Since 2017, these engines have added support for WebAssembly.

Notable engines

 * V8 from Google is the most used JavaScript engine. Google Chrome and the many other Chromium-based browsers use it, as do applications built with CEF, Electron, or any other framework that embeds Chromium. Other uses include the Node.js and Deno runtime systems.
 * SpiderMonkey is developed by Mozilla for use in Firefox and its forks. The GNOME Shell uses it for extension support.
 * JavaScriptCore is Apple's engine for its Safari browser. Other WebKit-based browsers and the Bun runtime system also use it. KJS from KDE was the starting point for its development.
 * Chakra is the engine of the Internet Explorer browser. It was also forked by Microsoft for the original Edge browser, but Edge was later rebuilt as a Chromium-based browser and thus now uses V8.

Associated Press Television News

Associated Press Television News, also referred to as AP Video and AP Television News (abbreviated APTN), is a global video news agency operated by the Associated Press (AP).

About
AP Television News is the video division of the Associated Press. It provides many of the world's broadcasters with a round-the-clock continuous feed of news, sports, entertainment and feature video content. Associated Press Television News Ltd. is a UK corporation owned and controlled by the Associated Press.

Headquartered in North London, AP Television News was founded in 1994 as Associated Press Television or APTV. They moved to their present headquarters in 1999 when APTV bought out competitor Worldwide Television News (WTN) and hired Roberto FE Soto as their first NYC Bureau Chief. The WTN building and facilities located at 1995 Broadway were deemed more suitable than the existing AP headquarters and Soto redesigned the newsroom, where APTN NY stayed until AP moved their operations to W 33 street in New York City, and later to 200 Liberty Street in New York City in 2017, where they remain.

Since its rebranding in 2005, the APTN name and logo has been dropped in favour of "AP Television News", featuring the red AP logo of the Associated Press to emphasise its connection to the AP. However, many broadcasters still refer to the television organisation as APTN.

Services
APTN distributes video to its client broadcasters around the world, mostly by satellite. Many major broadcasters and networks rely heavily upon APTN for major breaking news from around the world. The company also provides specialised "Broadcast Services" for its clients, such as editing, crewing or satellite feeds from news and sports events. Historical footage is also made available from its extensive film and video archives, which date back to 1895. It includes the film and video archives of onetime AP rival UPI's longtime newsfilm service United Press International Television News, which was the original agency that became WTN.

APTN is based in North London (in a former gin warehouse on the Regent's Canal called "The Interchange" because its original function was to interchange freight between the canal and rail systems) with bureaus in 85 cities and 79 nations, including New York City, Washington D.C., Paris, Rome and Moscow; as well as current-event regions such as Iraq and Afghanistan. It uses fibre-optic and satellite-based distribution networks to relay video footage to TV networks and newsrooms. (Broadcasters based in London receive the APTN video feed by local terrestrial circuits, known as "local ends," via the BT Tower.)

Use of video
Video news agencies such as APTN (AFP TV and Reuters TV) typically do not produce programmes that TV owners could watch. Rather, they provide footage of an event with only natural sound and very loose editing. However, APTN does also produce a range of entertainment and special interest programmes that are provided as white-label products for client use. Agency customers, who are local and national TV stations, documentary producers, cable television news channels, and the like, edit the agency footage to suit their style, and add their own graphics and voice-overs before transmission.

The premise for a video news agency is simple: very few TV stations devote enough money to newsgathering to put hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of camera, editing, and satellite transmission equipment everywhere that news might happen. Video news agencies provide rapid response coverage and international reach for those TV stations.

The agency obtains footage from their own camera crews, arrangements with local TV broadcasters to redistribute their material, material shot by freelancers who sell their footage to the agencies, and on rare occasions footage shot by the public (such as the famous footage of the 2000 crash of an Air France Concorde outside Paris and the hijacked Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961, which ditched off the Comoro Islands in 1996) Footage shot with broadcast-quality cameras is preferred, but quality can sometimes come second to content or immediacy for an exclusive story.

The maintenance of a network of local bureaux by the agencies means that local staff with expert knowledge are on hand to capture footage in places where Western camera crews could be in danger. An example of this is the Kosovo War in Serbia during which most journalists left the country prior to the NATO bombing campaign. In addition, TV reporters who often do not have the budgets or expertise to carry with a full satellite uplink are able to use the local agency bureaux. AP Television News has a department called "Broadcast Services" which specialises in providing on site production and transmission facilities either through the AP bureaux infrastructure or at breaking or set-piece news events. APTN managed to get a satellite dish and transmission gear into Banda Aceh, Indonesia, following the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake before the region was closed to air traffic. This became just about the only live video feed point available for the world's media, and was used extensively by network reporters for transmitting their recorded reports, or going "live" on air into their news and bulletins.

Wherever viewers see the same footage on more than one news station, the chances are that it came either from or via a video news agency.

Public relations services
APTN's corporate services division produces and distributes video news releases (VNRs), video-form press release designed for use on broadcast television, for businesses' public relations campaigns. APTN offers this service despite concern among journalists about some news broadcasters relying on VNR material for their news budgets instead of broadcasting their own original reporting.

Head boy's privileges
The stuff about keeping a goat was rumoured when I was at Bishops, the one about a sword is new to me. I'm inclined to think they're both made up. Can anyone confirm otherwise? Arthur Holland 17:51, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Well Head-Boy last year genuinely brought a goat into school and it grazed on the headmasters lawn, so that one at least is true. (Only for the last day) 86.171.46.122 (talk) 22:07, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm inclined to remove the stuff about Head Boy's privileges. I see no evidence that these are anything more than rumours. While I don't dispute the statement made above about the goat, it seems more likely that this was a case of the staff seeing the funny side and allowing this as a final-day-of-the-year gag. Are any of these "priveliges" formally declared in some kind of document: School rules, constitution, something of that sort? Otherwise I think they have to be removed as nothing more than rumour/speculation. Arthur Holland (talk) 11:13, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Way too much info
There is way too much info on the school here.

We don't need names of House captains, descriptions of uniform, lists of the duties of senior prefects. We don't need a description of the school council, or anything about the bitterness students feel about the rugby team. We don't need much about sport at all, except that the school has done well in some sports.

All of that sort of thing should be on the school's website, for which a link is provided at the bottom of the page. This article could stand to lose about 60% of its content. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.173.6.67 (talk • contribs)

---I trimmed the article considerably, but it's still too long IMHO. When you look at the other links in the group Wiltshire Schools, this is still by far the longest even after the changes. Schools that are much older and longer established are content to put down a brief history and a list of famous alumni. Wikipedia isn't here to provide free advertising to whoever wants it.
