Talk:Treaty of London (1915)

Vlore
According to Wikipedia, valona is a Mexican song form. What Italy demanded in the London pact is the town of Vlorë in Albania. --193.2.69.128 15:15, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Valona is Slavic name for Vlore, same thing just not in English — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.105.61.11 (talk) 22:03, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

comment from Medule
For EuroWiki. I am not inventing. Please find following link and read it. http://www.suc.org/culture/history/Treaty_of_London/index.html --Medule 21:30, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Serbian Union Congress Page is hardly a relevant source of relevant information.EurowikiJ 21:32, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

 * It is enough good source, specially if you have citation from books on that page.--Medule 21:35, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Stop spreading your Greater Serbian nationalist propaganda. You have been vandalizing pages that are related to Croatia for more than two weeks. Due to your actions Croatia page has been locked. EurowikiJ 21:46, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Believe me I am not nationalist. Look London pact you could not change. But you are trying to change it. You could not chanfe demographics of Slunj of 1910, but you are trying to do iy. Please dont accuse somebody without reason.

 * Look Eurowiki you second time today broke 3rvv rule!!!--Medule 21:53, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

 * There are more proofs. Here are extracts from book published in Zagreb in 1960

M. Marjanović, Londonski ugovor iz 1915. Prilog povijesti borbe za Jadran 1914-1917, Zagreb, 1960, str. 145-149. http://www.mfa.gov.yu/History/londonski_ugovor_s.html --Medule 23:12, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

EurowikiJ, let Medule do whatever he likes with this article, it's nothing but a sick dream. Serbia could have been promised Canada for all we care. They didn't get anything anyway. --Zmaj 22:22, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

That's what Medule is doing:-telling the truth about what was Serbia promissed on this 'London pact' and what teritories could have Srbia gained in case there wasn't the establishment of the first Yugoslavia. And unfolding these facts is not a sick dream. The only sick ones are you, who write against Medule and who ignore these facts with trying to minimize or ignore them. With that kind of attitude you won't go any further than within your isolated and fake world you live in. Cheers.24.86.127.209 (talk) 05:23, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Treaty of London is now available in English online. Parts of Austro-Hungaria were promised "to Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro", meaning the future state of South Slavs, not to "Greater Serbia". That map is a later fabrication. WimbledonGreen (talk) 21:42, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

 * The treaty doesn't discuss any future state of South Slaves. The note on article 5 only excludes parts of the Adriatic coast that won't be granted to Italy: "The four allied Great Powers shall grant the following territories to Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro." However, later in the text, it is specified, "In the southern Adriatic, in the area in which Serbia and Montenegro are interested." So, the area south of cape Planca (between Sebenico and Traù, today Šibenik and Trogir) was promised to Serbia and Montenegro.The map includes information that was verbally agreed in London and communicated between the allies after signing the agreement. --N Jordan (talk) 07:21, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes. My point is Serbia was not offered Bosnia and Slavonia in the text of the Treaty, as the map Trattato_di_Londra.svg suggests. WimbledonGreen (talk) 23:15, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

Move to Treaty of London (1915)
Reason:

all call it "Treaty of London" therefore I moved it to its name in English (London Pact being the translation of the Italian name of this treaty) --noclador (talk) 20:39, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Guttorm Haraldsson

Guttorm Haraldsson was the first son of King Harald Fairhair of Norway and Åsa, daughter of Håkon Grjotgardsson, who was the first Earl of Lade.

Harald had wrested Rånrike in Viken from the Swedish King Erik Eymundsson. Harald made Guttorm king over Rånrike and gave him the responsibility of defending southeast Norway from Sweden.

Guttorm fell in a sea battle against the sea-king Solve Huntiofsson (Solve Klove), son of Huntiof, King of Nordmøre. Solve Klove had earlier escaped capture at the First battle of Solskjel (ca. 870) in which both King Huntiof and King Nokkve of Romsdal had been slain.

Rose Marie Reid

Rose Marie Reid, born Rose Marie Yancey (September 12, 1906, in Cardston, Alberta, Canada – December 16, 1978, in Provo, Utah, United States), was a successful Canadian-born American swimsuit designer from the 1940s–60s.

Family
Rose Marie Yancey was born to William Elvie Yancey Sr. and Marie Hyde Yancey on September 12, 1906, in Cardston, Alberta, Canada. Her mother taught her to sew. In 1916, her family moved to a farm in Weiser, Idaho. In 1925, she purchased a beauty salon in Oregon. Shortly after, she married Gareth Rhynhart, a traveling artist. They divorced in 1935.

Reid moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, following her divorce. Reid married Jack Crossman Reid on November 30, 1935. She had three children with him, Bruce Alan Reid (1937–2015), Sharon Reid Alden (1938), and Carole Marie Reid Burr (1940–2020). Due to infidelity and abuse, Reid divorced Jack on April 10, 1946. The divorce helped precipitate her large business move to California in 1949.

Early career in Canada
Reid began her swimsuit designing career in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. She was inspired to design swimsuits because her husband, Jack, complained about the material and comfort of his swimwear. Her design business began in 1936 with Reid's Holiday Togs, Ltd. Lacing up both sides was typical of her earliest swimsuits and a 1938 example is preserved at the New Westminster Museum and Archives in Canada (Artifact # IH 994.76.68). In her first year of business, Reid employed 16 employees, grossed $10,000, and designed only six suits.

Rose Marie Reid, Inc.
On September 20, 1946, Reid launched her American business, Rose Marie Reid, Inc. However, she still maintained her Canadian business. By 1946, 50% of the swimsuits sold in Canada were her designs. Her swimsuits dominated the American market and were popular in western Europe, South America, and Australia. After starting her American business, Reid lived in her Los Angeles factory until she purchased a home in Brentwood, California, in 1949.

Reid was known for innovative and fashionable swimsuit designs and production. She was the first swimsuit designer to use inner brassieres, tummy-tuck panels, stay-down legs, elastic banding, brief skirts, and foundation garments in swimwear. She was also the first designer to introduce dress sizes in swimwear, designing swimwear for multiple sizes and types of bodies, rather than just producing one standard size. Reid filed for a U.S. patent in 1950 for a one-piece bathing suit using elastic fabric that lacked buttons. Her company patented a machine for a fagotting stitch that became a hallmark of her designs. She had several other patents for swimsuits and accessories.

Among her designs was the "Hourglass" suit, introduced in 1951 which was produced in many variations. It went on to become one of her company's all-time best sellers. Her "Magic Length" swimsuit line featured an inner "miracle bra", tuck-away straps, a tummy control panel, stay-down leg, and elasticized back to keep the bodice from gapping. With its numerous adaptations for different body types, the "Magic Length" became a Rose Marie Reid classic and remained popular through the 1950s.

Reid had sales offices in Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, New York City, London, Amsterdam, and Paris. Due to her success, she traveled frequently, meeting with sales people to provide instruction on fabrics, styles, and designs. She was the first woman in the United States to fly 500,000 miles.

Awards and success
In 1958, Reid was awarded the Sporting Look of the Year Award by Sports Illustrated and in 1955, she was named one of the Ten Women of the Year by the Los Angeles Times. She was also nominated for Designer of the Year in 1956 by Sports Illustrated, although she didn't win. Her company was extremely successful in the 1950s. The 1951 gross of Rose Marie Reid, Inc. of $3.5 million increased nearly fivefold to $18.1 million by 1960. Combined, her Canadian and U.S. factories increased production between 1952 and 1959 from 1,000 to 10,000 suits per day.

Hollywood fame
Part of Reid's success was due to her influence in Hollywood and the motion picture industry. Famous screen actresses, including Rita Hayworth, Marilyn Monroe, Jane Russell, and Rhonda Fleming wore her swimsuits. Rita Hayworth famously wore the "Glittering Metallic Lamé" suit to publicize her 1946 hit film, Gilda. Her suits also appeared in several California beach party films from the late 1950s and the early 1960s, including Gidget (film), Muscle Beach Party, and Where the Boys Are.

Religion
Rose Marie Reid was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She shared her faith with neighbors and business associates. She also had many Jewish friends with whom she shared her beliefs. She did some of this work in the 1950s in cooperation with LeGrand Richards and Hugh Nibley. Reid suggested that Richards title his book Israel! Do You Know? (instead of the original Judah! Do Yo Know?). With Richards' encouragement, Reid authored a lesson plan for explaining Mormonism to Jewish investigators. Reid also helped with many fundraising efforts for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, including fundraising for the construction of church buildings and the Los Angeles California Temple in 1954. She designed the "Starlight" swimsuit and had local Relief Society members sew sequins onto the suits. This suit, also known as the "Relief Society Suit", sold for $50. She donated the profits from this extremely commercially successful suit to the construction fund for the temple. "Starlight" was so popular that Life Magazine ran a two-and-a-half page spread about the suit’s success in 1956. In 1959, Rose Marie was asked by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to redesign LDS temple garments. Rose Marie Reid was also a very generous benefactor to Brigham Young University and served on the National Advisory Council. She also gave a "Devotional" speech at Brigham Young University in 1953.

Legacy
Reid left her company in 1963 over disagreements over the design and production of bikinis. She moved to Provo, Utah, in 1967 to be closer to family. In the late 1960s, Reid helped her son, Bruce, start The R&M Living Wig company. She died on December 16, 1978, in her daughter Carole's home in Provo, Utah.

The largest holding of Rose Marie Reid's papers and swimsuits is in the L. Tom Perry Special Collections of the Harold B. Lee Library at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, (see external links). On August 17, 2015, the Harold B. Lee Library launched a 9-month exhibit about Reid's life and career entitled Rose Marie Reid: Glamour by Design. An online exhibit was also released in conjunction with the actual exhibit. Both exhibits were curated by the L. Tom Perry Special Collections curator of 20th- and 21st-century Western and Mormon Americana manuscripts, John Murphy.

WIEGO

Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing (WIEGO) is a Manchester-based global research - policy network focused on improving conditions for workers in the informal economy. WIEGO's members include membership-based organizations of workers in the informal economy, researchers and development professionals.

The WIEGO network was founded in 1997 by a group of ten activists, researchers, and development practitioners, following a specialist's meeting on the informal economy in Bellagio, Italy. Among the founders was Professor Martha Chen, a Harvard Lecturer in Public Policy and currently a senior advisor with the network. The founding steering committee chair was Indian civil rights leader Dr. Ela Bhatt.

In July 2007, WIEGO was registered as a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee in the UK (WIEGO Ltd.) with a formal Constitution and Articles of Association. In 2011, WIEGO was granted charity status by the Charity Commission for England and Wales (Registered Charity No. 1143510).

Mission and Goals
WIEGO's stated mission: "WIEGO believes all workers should have equal economic opportunities and rights and be able to determine the conditions of their work and lives. WIEGO works to improve the status of the working poor, especially women, in the informal economy through increased organization and representation; improved statistics and research; more inclusive policy processes; and more equitable trade, labour, urban, and social protection policies."

WIEGO's objectives, as detailed in the Register of Charities, are "to relieve poverty in particular the poverty of the working poor in the informal economy caused by low earnings, high risks, and adverse working environments and conditions associated with the informal economy worldwide (including non-standard or unprotected employment for formal firms)".

Programmes and Activities
WIEGO supports working poor women by aiming to ensure they have adequate information, knowledge and tools and can mobilize around their rights, enhancing their safety and their earnings. WIEGO does not set an agenda but rather supports domestic workers, street vendors, waste pickers, garment workers, smallholder farmers and others in articulating their own demands and participating directly in policy and planning processes.

Specific Research and Action
WIEGO commissions research that focuses on improving statistics on, and analyzing policies relating to, the working poor who make their living in the informal economy. Membership-based organizations (MBOs) of informal workers are always involved in the identification, prioritization and design of WIEGO activities.

Impact of Global Recession: In 2009 and again in 2010, WIEGO coordinated Global Economic Crisis studies to determine how informal workers were being affected by the global economic downturn. The study was executed by organizations involved in the global Inclusive Cities project, which is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Two rounds of interviews and focus groups were conducted with 102 home-based workers, 63 street vendors and 54 waste pickers in 14 cities across Africa, Asia and Latin America. In 2009, 77% of respondents reported their incomes had fallen in recent months, while 52% reported another decrease between mid-2009 and 2010.

Findings from the first study, completed in 2009, are captured in "No Cushion to Fall Back On: The Global Economic Crisis and Informal Workers". Findings from the second study are found in "Coping with Crises: Lingering Recession, Rising Inflation, and the Informal Workforce".

Domestic Workers' Rights: From 2009-2011, funding from the Government of Netherlands MDG3 Fund allowed WIEGO to assist domestic workers in their struggle for an international convention that would help secure their rights as workers. WIEGO helped establish the International Domestic Workers'  Network (IDWN), and provided technical and strategic advice, research and capacity building, as well as assisting the IDWN in fund raising. Such practical support allowed domestic workers to represent themselves at the International Labour Conference (ILC) in 2010 and 2011. On June 16, 2011 governments, employers and workers from around the world adopted the Convention and accompanying Recommendation on Decent Work for Domestic Workers (Convention 189) at the 100th ILC in Geneva, Switzerland.

Structure
WIEGO represents a collaboration between membership-based organizations of workers in the informal economy, support non-governmental organizations, research and statistics institutions, national governments, and international development agencies.

Membership-based organizations of informal workers that are actively involved with WIEGO are asked to become Institutional Members. Individuals from the other two constituencies who are involved with WIEGO can become Individual Members. As of March 2014, the WIEGO network had 172 Members – 33 Institutional and 139 Individual Members – from 40 countries.

A 10-person Board of Directors governs the WIEGO network. Board members are drawn from WIEGO's three constituencies. The Board has two committees: a Management (or executive) Committee and a Financial Committee.

Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/Islamist

His User Page
Granted, Zocky, it is his user page, we have little control over it and have the option to not read it. However, putting up a list of enemies who he claims of being biased and also saying that any edit that is not in his POV should be reverted as "biased and narrow minded" should not be encouraged on here. Thats all. Zscout370 15:22, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Hmmm... I don't think that being called biased is such a bad thing. Only spineless people have no bias. I agree that enemy lists should not be encouraged - and I don't see anyone encouraging them. But I don't see why we should discourage users from stating the opinion that certain articles are unbalanced and that they need attention from people who share the user's POV. Zocky 15:48, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Of course, anyone can have an opinion, and what he rights is not always wrong (as Mel mentioned). However, it is just his demeaner is out of linem thus that is why we have the RfC. All I want out of this to let Islamist know that what he has been doing is not acceptable. Zscout370 16:01, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * And all I'm saying is that what he's been doing is not worth the trouble of RfC. I can think of plenty of long-time users who behave or have behaved in similar manner when issues important to them are discussed. Just let the guy learn that he can't have his way with the articles. Zocky 16:08, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I asked User:Jayjg before I set this page up. He said ok, so I put the page up. If it work's, it work's. It it does not, then I will see what other options I got. Zscout370 16:14, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I should add that he doesn't call edits with which he disagrees 'biased' — he calls them bigoted. (And, as matter of fact I disagree about bias being a good thing; to have a point of view is a good thing (if it's justified), but that's very different from being biased — and wholly different from making biased edits.) Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 20:56, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

His behavior with Islamofascism is especially egregious. His edits are/were borderline vandalism with lots of blanking of materiel he found objectionable. It seems that User:Islamist doesn't like anything which may cast Islam in a bad light. Klonimus 03:57, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Mainly what he was doing is adding the flag of Palestine against consensus and keep on inserting that Palestine should be on it, while places like Palestine should not be on there. That is what clued me into his POV. Zscout370 11:20, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * The username helps too. Klonimus 18:46, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I's like to distance myself from Klonimus' comments; to my mind he goes rather too far the other way, and his own edits on Islamofascism are all too often egregious. Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 20:56, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

About the Palestinian flag, did anyone bother to suggest...
...that the flag of Palestine be included in the Flags of non-sovereign nations -- which is what Palestine is? Or, did people decide to just butt heads with this guy? (I've already added it there, and to the article on Palestinian territories and left a note on Islamist's user page, letting him know.) I don't understand why it wasn't already there. (Just amazing.)

I came upon this RfC quite by accident and have not read anything but Islamist's user page -- which I find pretty innocuous -- very innocuous, in fact. As an African American with leftist political leanings, I often find myself at odds with other Wikipedians. And I find the provincialism, abysmal ignorance and outright racism of lots of white folks (and one Asian in particular *wink*) on Wikipedia in matters pertaining to black folks sometimes annoying as hell. I can understand fully how a Muslim brother might get exercised over the Zionist bent of much of the info on Wikipedia treating the Middle East. With the tendency of certain interest cliques to pile on here, it's really easy to feel marginalized— which can lead to frustration. A little helpfulness in this regard might have gone a long way toward defusing the situation. I'm not making excuses for Islamist. Like I said, I haven't read the full complaint and know little of the dispute. But this one seemed a no-brainer. Give a little, get a lot.

Talk:Pat Reid

Reid's Military Service
I was writing from memory and altered the RAF to Army for Reid because I always remember him being referred-to as Major Pat Reid (it turns out he was a Captain and then Major in the RASC - Royal Army Service Corps) and the rank of 'Major' does not exist in the RAF, so I was fairly sure he wasn't RAF.

As for a reference - see below (look under the entry for Captain R.H. Howe MBE MC, Royal Tank Corps - which also mentions the 'Laufen six')

[THE SECRET WIRELESS INSTALLATION - Page Notes - The Colditz Secret Radio]

I'm wary of relying on the Web for sources but this site seems to know a lot of detail, e.g., ranks, regiments, awards, etc, that is unlikely to have been made up.

I found this page while searching for this gentleman for my future father-in-law who went to university with his daughter and met him. Apparently he was also an elected MP after world-war two, but as I don't have the time to add this currently or a have a relevant source that I could quote for this knowledge I will leave this information for whoever updates this page next. By all means the second hand account reveals similar stories as to those in the page and it seems very unlikely that the stories are falsified.

New project.
I have just started up WikiProject Colditz to cover articles regarding Colditz Castle and, in particular, it's role as a Prisoner of War camp in WWII. This project aims to cover the castle and all the notable prisoners, such as Michael Sinclair and Pat Reid, who were imprisoned there. Feel free to check it out and if you want to help out, I will be most grateful! -- Qarnos 09:34, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

A Personal note
Unfortunately as P. R. REID passed away nearly 20 years ago i am unable to pass on my gratitude personally but hope that this message reaches his children or grand children. I read the section of "escape from colditz" that related to my grandfather Cyrill Lewthwaite who unfortunately passed away months before i was born. So i never personally met him and therefore have never known a great deal about, except that he was a war hero that although only fighting in the war for about 2 weeks before being captured managed to do enough to earn and military cross and an MBE. Reading the exstract in the book that related to him gave me a tiny glimpse into my grandfathers life and a great deal of joy to read. So thank you i hope this reaches some one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.7.107.97 (talk) 20:02, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

 * hi- this is incredible late, but patrick reid was my great, great uncle. i never met him, and know very little about him, but in case you wanted to know, someone has read your message, and i’m very happy his book helped you to connect with your family. 2A00:23C8:5083:A901:2010:6622:CC1E:D897 (talk) 04:12, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Name of article
Is it correct to name this article "Pat Reid"? He is known mainly as "Patrick Reid" or sometimes "P.R. Reid." While referred to as "Pat" informally in accounts of the era, I don't think this is quite right. I'd like to initiate a name change but would like to first see if there is any objection. --Stetsonharry (talk) 16:48, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Birstall, Leicestershire

Birstall is a large village and civil parish within the Charnwood borough of Leicestershire, England. It is three miles north of Leicester city centre and is part of the wider Leicester Urban Area.

It is the largest village in Charnwood, with a population only marginally lower than the neighbouring town of Syston at the 2001 census.

Village
Birstall lies on the A6 and is the last major settlement before Leicester when arriving from the north. Birstall thus forms part of the Leicester Urban Area. The village centre lies just off the A6, along Sibson Road. The village contains two supermarkets, a garden centre and a variety of other shops. There are a number of schools, including Highcliffe Primary School, Riverside Primary School, Hallam Fields Primary School and The Cedars Academy. The village contains the Church of St James the Great, Birstall, the St Teresa Roman Catholic church and Birstall Methodist Church.

There is a large housing estate in the north-west of the village, leading off Greengate Lane. The Grand Union Canal runs along the eastern side of the village, which is adjacent to Watermead Country Park, a series of lakes in the bottom of the Soar Valley, which have been set aside as a recreational area and country park.

To the north of the village, the A6 meets the A46 Leicester Western Bypass and then continues on towards Loughborough along the Soar Valley.

The closest village to Birstall is Wanlip, a smaller village, with the village of Rothley being the next closest. The villages of Thurmaston and Syston are also nearby. Birstall shares its southern border with the City of Leicester.

The symbol of Birstall is a cedar tree. The original tree stands in Roman Road. It was once in the grounds of the now demolished Birstall Hall. The area of the parish is 791 acre.

History
The village's name means lit. 'settlement built on the site of a fortification'.

Saxon remnants have been found in the village and surrounding area. The village was called Burstalle in the Domesday Book when it belonged to Hugh de Grandmesnil. Willard held these lands for Hugh and the 16 acre of meadow and a mill were said to be worth three ounces of gold. The village began its growth with the arrival of the Great Central Railway in 1899. From then onwards development has continued and still continues to-day. Between 1901 and the 2001 the population grew from 611 to over 11,000.

Hallam Fields
A new housing development called 'Hallam Fields' commenced construction in 2006. It occupies land to the west of the A6, between the 'Gates' estate and the A46. The development will take ten years to complete, consisting of up to 900 properties including schools, shops, offices, industrial units and a fire station. It has been described as a mini Poundbury. By April 2010 it had 11 streets. These are Archdale Close, Bridge Green, Dale Close, Far Pastures Road, Halfpenny Close, Hallam Fields Road, Little Connery Lees, Pinfold Close, Brook Furlong Drive, Palmer Square and Lady Augusta Road. North of the development, on the roundabout connecting the A46 and A6 is a new service area with a KFC, a Shell petrol station and an Ibis Budget.

Schools

 * Highcliffe primary school
 * Riverside primary school
 * Hallam fields primary school
 * The Cedars Academy

 Note: Longslade Community College and Stonehill high school merged to become The Cedars Academy

Parks

 * Watermead Country Park
 * School Lane recreational park
 * Harrogate park

Golf club

 * Birstall Golf Club—founded in 1901—one of the first golf clubs in Leicestershire.

Local organisations

 * 1947 (Birstall) Squadron—RAFAC squadron located within the grounds of Riverside primary school.

Transport
The main village areas of Wanlip Lane and Harrowgate Drive are served by Centrebus service 22A while the A6 corridor is served by buses between Leicester and Loughborough operated by Kinchbus service 2 (until 4 September 2022), Skylink and Arriva Midlands services 126 and 127.

The Birstall Park and Ride service is at the northern end of the village and is operated by Roberts Travel Group.

The Great Central Railway steam railway has its southern terminus near the village, where the A6 meets the Leicester outer ringroad at Red Hill Circle. Just north of Red Hill Circle, and west of the A6, is Red Hill filling station. The railway forms the boundary of the southern end of Birstall Golf Club.

Sigurd Syr

Sigurd Syr (Old Norse: Sigurðr Sýr) (died c. 1018) was a Norwegian petty king of Ringerike, a region in Buskerud. He was notable in Norwegian history largely through his association with Kings Harald Hardrada and Olaf II of Norway. By his marriage with Åsta Gudbrandsdatter after her first husband Harald Grenske had died, Sigurd Syr was stepfather of King Olaf II and the father of King Harald III.

Biography
The traditional view of Sigurd Halvdansson Syr's pedigree, as presented in various Icelandic poems and historical sagas culminating in Snorri Sturluson's Heimskringla, is that he was a great-grandson of King Harald Fairhair, through Harald's son Sigurd Rise. Doubt has been cast on his connection with Sigurd Rise, a relatively obscure son of Harald Fairhair by a Sami girl named Snæfrithr Svásadottir. Sigurd Syr's father Halfdan may not have been King Harald's grandson Halfdan of Hadafylke. There are no contemporary attestations of such a Halfdan. It is not very likely that this lineage represent historical realities. Many modern historians regard the Fairhair genealogy as in large part invented.

According to Heimskringla, Sigurd Syr was a prudent man, taciturn and generally modest, although very wealthy. He was known as a good caretaker of his property, personally involved in managing it, and wise and peaceful. He may well have owned several large farms. His nickname "Syr" can be translated as meaning "sow or swine" (related to Old Norse svīn). The reason for this is unknown; P.A. Munch suggested that it was because his attention was so focused on farming and that his nickname meant "One who digs or roots in the soil of the field". Since Sigurd was a respected man of high birth, the epithet was most probably an honorable title. He was also promised the throne of England and his son Harald went to get it for him when he died.

Sigurd Syr was baptized into the Christian faith in 998. According to the Heimskringla, "King Olaf Tryggvason came to Ringerike to spread Christianity, Sigurd Syr and his wife allowed themselves to be baptized".

Sigurd Syr was not personally politically ambitious. He was not fond of the pomp and ceremony of nobility, but played his expected part. He fully supported his stepson Olaf's ambitions to leadership and command. In 1014, he successfully petitioned his peers, the other Norwegian local kings, for their support in his stepson's cause when Olav wanted to build an army in Norway.

Family
According to the sagas, Sigurd Syr and his wife Åsta Gudbrandsdatter were good and noble rulers and had the following children together:

 * 1) Guttorm
 * 2) Gunnhild - married Ketil Kalv of Ringnes in Stange
 * 3) Halfdan
 * 4) Ingerid - married Nevstein, mother of Tore, foster-father of King Magnus Barefoot
 * 5) Harald Hardrada - King of Norway from 1046 to 1066, sometimes called 'the last great Viking'

Bugs (TV series)

Bugs is a British television drama series that ran for four seasons from 1 April 1995 to 28 August 1999. The programme, a mixture of action/adventure and science fiction, involved a team of independent crime-fighting technology experts, who faced a variety of threats involving computers and other modern technology. It was originally broadcast on Saturday evenings on BBC One, and was produced for the BBC by the independent production company Carnival Films. In July 2014, London Live, a local digital terrestrial station in London, began airing a complete rerun from Series 1. All 4 series (40 episodes) were available to stream in the UK on Britbox until Britbox UK ceased operations in April 2024 with its content migrating to ITVX however Bugs was strangely not a part of that migration.

Overview
The series was devised by Carnival boss Brian Eastman and producer Stuart Doughty with input from veteran writer-producer Brian Clemens, who had previously worked on ITV's The Avengers and The Professionals. Clemens described Bugs as "an Avengers for the 1990s". Other notable series writers included Colin Brake and Stephen Gallagher. Two episodes ("Bugged Wheat" and "Hollow Man"), were written by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, who went on to create the series Smallville. The theme tune was written by Gavin Greenaway. The programme was a mixture of action/adventure and science fiction, with a reliance on fast-paced plots, technical gadgetry, stunts and explosions. Much of the programme's filming took place around the London Docklands area, which had recently been redeveloped with projects such as Canary Wharf. This was intended to give a modern, and perhaps even slightly futuristic, feel to locations of the episodes. The production was originally based at two warehouses of Blackwall Basin, on the Isle of Dogs in London. After the IRA bombing of the South Quay Plaza, the crew had to travel further to find intact buildings for exterior locations.

The plot of the programme involved a team of specialist independent crime-fighting technology experts, who faced a variety of threats involving computers and other modern technology. The main trio of regulars were Nick Beckett (Jesse Birdsall), Ros Henderson (Jaye Griffiths) and Ed (Craig McLachlan in series one to three, Steven Houghton in series four). Initially an independent team, they began working alongside the government agency 'Bureau of Weapons Technology' in series two. From series three, with the original Bureau decimated, they came under the authority of the newly created Bureau 2, whose head was codenamed Jan (Jan Harvey) (her real first name was revealed to be Barbara, but her surname was never given) and her secretary, Alex Jordan (Paula Hunt). The series evolved, as a result, from a series of relatively unconnected one-off episodes to an overarching 'soap opera' complete with office romances. There has been controversy over Ed's surname - because he was never called anything other than "Ed", some people have taken his surname to be Russell, simply because he was addressed as "Dr Russell" in one episode. However, that was more likely a pseudonym, as both Ros and Beckett used plenty of false names throughout the series.

The programme came close to cancellation at the conclusion of its third series, but due to an exciting cliffhanger ending deliberately included by the production team, and strong foreign sales, a fourth was commissioned. The final series suffered from being moved to an earlier timeslot on Saturday evenings, and for only having the first eight of its produced ten episodes scheduled for broadcast. Coupled with the Omagh Bombing forcing the BBC to postpone the series for a week, this meant that the concluding three episodes would not be broadcast until a year later. Another attempt to save the show by giving the series a cliffhanger ending was not successful, and the ending of the final episode — where Alex has just married boyfriend Adam, only to have him killed at the wedding and Ros and Beckett are abducted by an attacker unseen by the audience but recognised by Beckett — was never resolved.

The series has something of a minor cult following in the UK. Overall 40 episodes were produced, ten in each of the four series. Virgin Publishing produced novelizations of the episodes of the first series, but these were not successful and subsequent episodes were not novelised. As of 2005, the series is available on DVD in series-by-series box set form, released by Revelation Films. A complete box set collection of all four series is also available. In 2022, the series became available on the BritBox streaming platform.

The Emperor (tarot card)

The Emperor (IV) is the fourth trump or Major Arcana card in traditional tarot decks. It is used in game playing as well as in divination.

Description
The Emperor sits on a ram-adorned throne, a symbol of Mars. Another ram head can be seen on his cloak. His long white beard bears the symbol of "wisdom". He holds an Ankh scepter in his right hand, and a globe, symbol of domination, in his left. The Emperor sits atop a stark, barren mountain, a sign of "sterility of regulation, and unyielding power." He symbolizes the top of the secular hierarchy, the ultimate male ego. The Emperor is the absolute ruler of the world.

In Astrology, the Emperor is associated with the masculine, cardinal-fire sign of Aries, the domicile sign of Mars which is symbolized by the ram.

History
The essential features of the design for The Emperor card have changed very little through the centuries. The Emperor sometimes got caught up in the censorship placed on the Popess (The High Priestess) and the Pope (The Hierophant), as when the Bolognese card makers replaced the Popess (High Priestess), Pope (Hierophant), Empress, and Emperor with four Moors or Turks. In the Minchiate, the first of the two Emperors are assigned number III because of the removal of the Popess (High Priestess) from the deck.

Interpretation
According to A.E. Waite's 1910 book Pictorial Key to the Tarot, the Emperor card carries several divinatory associations: The Emperor Keywords UPRIGHT: Authority, establishment, structure, a father figure

REVERSED: Domination, excessive control, lack of discipline, inflexibility

In Media
In the manga JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Stardust Crusaders, characters' powers (also known as 'Stands') are named after tarot cards. The Emperor 'stand' belongs to Hol Horse, a minor antagonist.

The Persona series includes various characters represented by tarot cards. In Persona 5 The Emperor card belongs to Yusuke Kitagawa, a member of the main cast.

Alternative decks
Alternative decks include:
 * The parallel, fourth Major Arcana card in the Osho Zen Tarot deck is called The Rebel, and carries some similar connotations.
 * In the Vikings tarot Ullr depicts the Emperor. He is shown with a bow, a pair of skis, a shield, and a sleigh.
 * In the X/1999 tarot version made by CLAMP, The Emperor is Kyougo Monou.
 * In The Legend of the Legendary Heroes tarot, The Emperor is Sion Astarl.
 * In the Mythic Tarot deck, the Emperor is depicted by Zeus.
 * In the Wildwood Tarot by Mark Ryan, this card is called "The Green Man".

K'o-sa

The K'o-sa is an ancient Uyghur tribe mentioned by ancient Chinese texts. D. M. Dunlop believed that they were connected with the Khazars, and thus postulated a Uyghur, rather than Hunnish origin for that people. The K'o-sa, who belonged to a Tujue tribe, were first mentioned under Du Huan's accounts on Tongdian as possessing the areas north of Syria and the Byzantine Empire. They existed under a variant name in Suishu and formed part of the Tiele confederation whose presence was around or close to the Caspian Sea.

Kozar

Kozar is a personal name with its origins in Turkic and/or Slavonic languages.

A founding myth among the Khazars, as related in texts such as the Khazar Correspondence and King Joseph's Reply to Hasdai ibn Shaprut, held that they were founded by Kozar, a son of the Biblical figure Togarmah (or Togarmas). In such texts, the brothers of Kozar are given varying names, including: Bulgar (founder of the Bulgars), Ujur (Uyghurs), Tauris (Tauri), Avar (Avars/Varchonites), Uguz (Oghuz Turks), Bizal, Tarna, Janur, and Sawir (the Sabirs). The medieval Jewish Joseph ben Gorion lists the sons of Togarmas as: Kozar, Pacinak (the Pechenegs), Aliqanosz (the Alans), Bulgar, Ragbiga (or Ragbina/Ranbona), Turqi (possibly the Göktürks), Buz (the Oghuz), Zabuk, Ungari (either the Hungarians or the Oghurs/Onogurs), and Tilmac (or Tilmic/Tirôsz; the Tauri). In the Chronicles of Jerahmeel, they are listed as: Cuzar (the Khazars), Pasinaq (the Pechenegs), Alan (the Alans), Bulgar (the Bulgars), Kanbinah, Turq, Buz, Zakhukh, Ugar (Hungarians or Oghurs/Onogurs), and Tulmes (or Tirôsz; the Tauri). Another medieval rabbinic work, the Book of Jasher, gives the names: Buzar (the Khazars), Parzunac (the Pechenegs), Elicanum (the Alans), Balgar (the Bulgars), Ragbib, Tarki (the Göktürks), Bid (the Oghuz), Zebuc, Ongal (the Hungarians or Oghurs/Onogurs), and Tilmaz (or Tirôsz - the Tauri).

Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/People of foo

The following discussion comes from Categories for deletion. This is an archive of the discussion only; please do not edit this page. --Kbdank71 15:39, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Category:People of Foo and Category:People from Foo
Category:People of Grenada, Category:People from the U.S. Virgin Islands, Category:People of Swaziland, Category:People from Luxembourg, Category:People from Macao, Category:People from Bosnia and Herzegovina

Standard practice is to use "Fooian people" rather than "People of Foo" (as seen in Category:People by nationality, although this wouldn't work for Category:People of the Dominican Republic or Category:People of Dominica as "Dominican" in used for both). Category:People from Bosnia and Herzegovina should be merged with Category:Bosnian people, under the name of the latter. "Bosnian" seems to be the preferred "neutral" adjective for Bosnia and Herzegovina, as opposed to "Bosniak" which refers to a particular Bosnian ethnic group - "Bosnian" is neutral even though it does not specifically reference the distinct geographic region of Herzegovina, possibly because that region does not have a distinct political, legal or cultural identity. The others should be moved to Category:Grenadian people, Category:U.S. Virgin Islands people, Category:Swazi people, Category:Luxembourgeois people and Category:Macau people (please note that, perhaps confusingly, "Macau" can serve as an adjective, and that while both "Macao" and "Macau" are used in English, "Macau" is used for both the Macau article and Category:Macau. The adjective "Macanese" refers to people of Portuguese-Macau ancestry and wouldn't be appropriate.) Sorry the length of this proposal! --VivaEmilyDavies 21:52, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Regarding People from Bosnia and Herzegovina, I'll just paste what I already said on the talk page:
 * Your argument is correct, except that it unfairly discriminates against the people from Herzegovina. Go ask any Hercegovac if they feel like a Bosanac and they'll probably tell you to go to hell, if not something worse. :)
 * Hence this entry must not be changed back to "Bosnian people". "Bosnian and Herzegovinian people" would be correct, but cumbersome and awkward, so it might as well stay as it is. --Joy [shallot]   22:27, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * A very good point. (Should Category:Bosnian people be emptied?)

 * Oh, I just moved that one article over. I had redirected it over previously so I didn't notice the new entry. --Joy [shallot]

 * Maybe it would be better to actually delete Category:Bosnian people? If people put articles into it they'll think it's worked okay because it shows up in blue at the bottom of the article. Most people won't double-check by clicking on the link to make sure! VivaEmilyDavies 22:17, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm still not 100% convinced by you - the adjective "Bosnia-Herzegovinian" is also used in English (actually it is the adjective I usually use), as is the slightly more common "Bosnian-Herzegovinian", so either could provide a slightly less unwieldy fallback. Standard English usage is to use "Bosnian" to refer to the entire country.

 * That's probably because there are many more things Bosnian than there are Herzegovinian. Bosnia is first mentioned in the name of the country for a reason, but Herzegovina isn't omitted for a reason, either. --Joy [shallot]

 * Searching the BBC website, which uses fairly standard British English, "Bosnia" and "Bosnian" combined throw up approaching 30,000 hits to "Herzegovinan" 3 and "Herzegovina" 306. (1, 2, 3, 4)It is discriminatory and it is unfair. However, it is standard English (unfortunately... I guess it would soon change if most English-speakers had to meet a Hercegovac on a regular basis!). I dislike the word, but as an English language work, en.wikipedia really ought to use standard English (unless it either technically incorrect or highly offensive). Something that makes me lean slightly further towards "Bosnian" is the fact that the embassy of BiH in the UK calls itself the "Bosnian Embassy" of the "Bosnian government" here - but elsewhere the embassies in the USA, Pakistan and Australia prefer to avoid an adjective altogether by strenuously using the phrase "... of Bosnia and Herzegovina".

 * *.embassyhomepage.com is a known scam site, so it's not authoritative at all :) Omitting Herzegovina is both technically incorrect (because the country's name includes it) and offensive (because they *never* consider themselves Bosnians). --Joy [shallot]

 * Oops sorry! VivaEmilyDavies 22:17, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * It would be silly to cause offence for no good reason, and there are some grounds for saying that BiH lacks a suitable neutral English adjective for use in WP (not uniquely - Dominica and the Dominican Republic do, for a different reason). Yet I think it is impossible to deny that in modern English "Bosnian" is the standard term and some official BiH organisations do use it, so while I wouldn't use it privately, on Wikipedia I still believe it's the correct choice. --VivaEmilyDavies --VivaEmilyDavies 00:18, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)00:16, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Consider an analogous example: Category:Trinidad and Tobago people. Tobago is much smaller than Trinidad, but it's not discriminated against in the naming. --Joy [shallot]

 * I guess it probably helps that T&T is an English-speaking country so standard English just copies the way they refer to themselves, whereas we often mess up foreign countries in translation :) Two cringeworthy examples are the most recent BBC news stories with a BiH slant (1, 2) which use "Bosnia" for the country of BiH and "Bosnian" for the adjective. Contrast this to T&T (as the press sometimes refer to it when they don't write it out in full) where "Trinidad" is only used when referring to that particular island, not the entire political entity. However, the reason that WP uses "Trinidad and Tobago people" is that it is standard English. All I was querying was whether "Bosnian" is now so widespread that it has become standard (it's really the opposite situation to "American" where the adjective is underinclusive - rather than to the Americas, we usually, save for e.g. "Organization of American States" use it to refer to the USA alone. Hence, even though it might strictly speaking be wrong, we do have a lot of categories beginning "American...", simply because it is standard. I for one much prefer "U.S." for the USA, "Trinidad and Tobago" as the adjective for T&T and "Bosnian and Herzegovinan" or similar for BiH). Anyway, since you made a lot of very strong points, and I do dislike "Bosnian" myself, I think I'd rather opt for something like Grutness's current idea, but spell it with a "z" as seems to be more usual (Category:Bosnian and Herzegovinian people). If anybody is interested the EU manual of style recommends using "of Bosnia and Herzegovina" instead of an adjective. However, if that approach is to be taken I'd prefer "from" (you wouldn't say "X is a writer of Bosnia and Herzegovina", more likely "X is a writer from Bosnia and Herzegovina, unless you're the BBC in which case you'd apparently say "X is a Bosnian writer"!) VivaEmilyDavies 22:17, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually "Trinidad and Tobago" as an adjective is not correct usage (in my experience as a Trinidadian). The only correct adjectival forms are "Trinidadian" and "Tobagonian".  But to call the list "Trinidadian and Tobagonian people" would force the removal of Derek Walcott who, despite being St. Lucian, spent a significant part of his life there, and alludes to Trinidad extensively in his poetry.  Guettarda 19:06, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I have apparently been fooled by usage like "Trinidad and Tobago government", "Trinidad and Tobago Defense Force" and "Trinidad and Tobago Police Service" into believing that "Trinidad and Tobago" has become a kind of quasi-adjective. Thanks for pointing that out! VivaEmilyDavies 20:44, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * (I thought I had made it clear that) it was the inclusion of Tobago that I was referring to, not the actual form with the adjective. That's another matter, please feel free to address it separately. --Joy [shallot]   21:05, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * This is just another case of political correctness or of foolish consistency run amok among the Wikipedia categorizers. The very notion of "Foowegian people" is fraught with difficulty, since that is the form usually used in reference to peoples.  "Swazi people" can refer to an ethnic group, the Swazi people, and to individual members of that group, rather than to individuals "of Swaziland".  Gene Nygaard 00:55, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I do see the point, but it is an overwhelming consistency (see Category:People by nationality) and using "Foowegian ..." rather than "... of Foo" makes more sense for people - precisely because (a) it is a bit fuzzier round the edges (just like people - and unlike, for example, political structures or geographic features which are better categorised by country) and (b) many historical figures can be classed as Foowegian even though Foo did not exist as a country at that time. The real "categorisation gone mad", as far as I can see, would be to try to class people together by country instead, with the view that that, being less fuzzy, it is somehow more exact. "Swazi" is better for categorisation than "... of Swaziland" when referring to people because a person who would fit easier into the first than the second ought to have a place to go (and does it really matter that Swazis who don't fit the Swaziland definition are side by side with those who do? They really aren't so different, and people will know how to find either). On the other hand, "Mountains of Swaziland" and "Olympic athletes of Swaziland" make more sense than their "Swazi" equivalents because the ambiguity would hold no benefit there. Consistency is only a limited good, but here it makes sense - I can't see why Swazis and Swaziland should be treated any differently to Bulgarians and Bulgaria (not everyone in Bulgaria is ethnically Bulgarian, the ethnic group predates the modern country, there are ethnic Bulgarians outside Bulgaria and the adjective doesn't distinguish nationality from ethnicity - but those problems don't cause much fuss and moving "Bulgarian people" to "People of Bulgaria" would probably get little support on its At the current time, elegant redirects to elegance, democratic redirects to democracy, and adjectival redirects to adjective.own) --VivaEmilyDavies 01:40, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Comment: If consistence is necessary I would prefer "People from Foo" or "People of Foo" to "Fooian people". The latter can mean ethnicity and citizenship, which is ambiguous. — Instantnood 06:06, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)
 * It is precisely for this reason that I prefer "People of Foo" to "People from Foo". After all, an immigrant can become "of" a country, consider it home, play a major part in its life, and yet never become a citizen, so never be "from" a country.  Guettarda 19:06, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: please don't assume ambiguity is bad :) In an article, it would be bad, but that's where the ambiguity ought to be elucidated. Some people best fit multiple categorisations. I would really like it if everybody debating this thread had a quick look at Nikola Tesla first. The intro describes him as of Serb ethnicity, yet he worked mainly in the USA. He was, however, born in Croatia - which he regarded as his homeland! He is a messy and ambiguous person, and deserves to be categorised as such: which he is! He's in "American physicists", "Serbian scientists" and "Croatian scientists" - all of these are quite correct, and indeed useful. A person trying to browse for him but who has forgotten his name, yet remembers he was born in Croatia, or that he was of Serb descent, may try to use the category system to find him, and will be successful either way! Now if we did everything by "country from", he would be restricted to "Physicists from the United States" and "Scientists from Croatia". That would be silly, especially when his Croatian link is not even mentioned in the introduction. Just because it is seems less ambiguous and therefore seems somehow more "accurate" doesn't make categorising people by "from country" any better - I believe that it is a genuinely "foolish consistency". Now, I wouldn't want to see "Croatian mountains" - I wouldn't know if it contained mountains that only lay historically in Croatia, or mountains with special cultural significance to Croats, or mountains where the local population is ethnically Croat. But people aren't like mountains - people move around, change affiliations, belong to cultures that themselves rise and fall and very often they either predate or postdate the "country" that would describe them best (even saying that Tesla was from Croatia would actually be wrong, to be strictly accurate you might cat him in "scientists from Austria-Hungary", hence losing even the Croat connection). Also, could people please spend just a few minutes browsing around Category:People by nationality, Category:Professionals by nationality and Category:Nationalities by occupation to see how many hundreds of categories use "Fooian..." for people! You could change them all, but doesn't the sheer existence of this near-universal format suggest there is some consensus for classing people in this way? One that I would like to change to "from Fooland" format is politicians - e.g. ethnic Hungarian politicians in an ethnic Hungarian political party in Serbia-Montenegro ought to be classed in "Politicians from Serbia and Montenegro", because politics relates to the political structure of a particular country (as a political and legal entity). That would be in line with e.g. Category:Political parties by country. But I still think that "Fooian people" and the majority of their subcategories should be preserved, and exceptions without a particularly strong reason ("People from Dominica" and perhaps if, we take the EU convention, Bosnia and Herzegovina... but not Luxemburg) ought to be converted into "Fooian..." form. VivaEmilyDavies 22:17, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Personally I too am against this "Fooilonian X" idea, and have said so when this sort of thing has come up in the past. X of Foo tends to work far better in practice. If, howeverm the decision is to go with it, would Category: Bosnian and Hercegovinian people work? Grutness|hello? [[Image:Grutness.jpg|25px|]] 11:55, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: I dislike "Bosnian" too, just suggested it because I thought it had (unfortunately) become standard. If we do use an adjectival approach, would you agree with Category: Bosnian and Herzegovinian people spelt with a "z"? I think the "c" spelling is now regarded as wrong. Also, I agree that "X of/from/in Foo" is far better for almost everything - I just think that on the whole people are an exception. As I said above, please look at Nikola Tesla and have a think about it :) --VivaEmilyDavies 22:17, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * I too much prefer "People from Foo" to "Fooian people" - see the quiz at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (country-specific topics) and see how many adjectival forms you can get right, and then look at the answers and see how many are less than obvious. Thryduulf 12:24, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Categories are different from articles though in that they are browsed to, and rarely typed in. And even if the adjective is completely non-obvious (e.g. Myanmar not Burma for the country, but Burmese for the adjective, is currently in use) you can still browse via "Myanmar". However, in general, and especially for article titles, I too much prefer "of/from/in Foo". I just think that broadly, the categorisation of people should be an exception.VivaEmilyDavies 22:17, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Exactly. Category:Glaswegians should be renamed Category:People of Glaswegia as well.  Gene Nygaard 17:32, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * It would become Category:People from Glasgow (similar to Category:Chicagoans, which would become Category:People from Chicago). Actually I thought about nominating both of these for renaming myself, and if somebody else did, I would support! Cities don't usually have quite the same ethnic/cultural importance as nationalities, and many lack adjectival forms, so I would far prefer these to be standardised as "People from Chicago" and "People from Glasgow" etc. VivaEmilyDavies 22:17, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

In addition to my comment above, I oppose moving "People from Foo" to "Fooian people". In my opinion "Fooian people" should be move to "People from Foo". — Instantnood 12:52, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)

 * Oppose "Fooian people". The naming conventions recommend using nouns, not adjectives. -Kbdank71 14:06, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Please read the Naming conventions (adjectives) you quoted. "The naming conventions for adjectives is a naming convention for how to create Wikipedia pages about adjectives" so "At the current time, elegant redirects to elegance, democratic redirects to democracy, and adjectival redirects to adjective". That's about redirects of articles, in the article space, whose title is purely an adjective. The relevant policy would actually be Naming conventions (country-specific topics) but that is still in "proposed" state. --VivaEmilyDavies 16:58, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Togarmah

Togarmah (Hebrew: Tōgarmā, Թորգոմ Torgom, თარგამოსი Targamosi) is a figure in the "table of nations" in Genesis 10, the list of descendants of Noah that represents the peoples known to the ancient Hebrews. Togarmah is among the descendants of Japheth and is thought to represent some people located in Anatolia. Medieval sources claimed that Togarmah was the legendary ancestor of several peoples of the Caucasus (including Armenians and Georgians).

Biblical attestations and historical geography
Togarmah is listed in as the third son of Gomer, and grandson of Japheth, brother of Ashkenaz and Riphath. The name is again mentioned in the Book of Ezekiel as a nation from the "far north". mentions Togarmah together with Tubal as supplying soldiers to the army of Gog. mentions Togarmah together with Tubal, Javan and Meshech as supplying horses to the Tyrians.

Most scholars identify Togarmah with the capital city called Tegarama by the Hittites and Til-Garimmu by the Assyrians. O.R. Gurney placed Tegarama in Southeast Anatolia.

Later traditions
Several later ethnological traditions have claimed Togarmah as the legendary ancestor of various peoples located in western Asia and the Caucasus. Jewish historian Flavius Josephus (37 – c. 100 AD) and the Christian theologians Jerome (c. 347 – 420 AD) and Isidore of Seville (c. 560 – 636 AD) regarded Togarmah as the father of the Phrygians. Several ancient Christian authors, including Saint Hippolytus (c. 170-c. 236 AD), Eusebius of Caesarea (c. 263 – c. 339 AD), and bishop Theodoret (c. 393 – c. 457 AD), regarded him as a father of Armenians. Medieval Jewish traditions linked him with several peoples: Turkic, including the Khazars.

Armenian and Georgian traditions
Another Togarmah, this one being the son of both Tiras and Gomer, is mentioned by Armenian Moses of Chorene (c. 480) and Georgian Leonti Mroveli who regarded Togarmah as the founder of their nations along with other Caucasian peoples.

According to Moses of Chorene's History of Armenia and to Leonti Mroveli's medieval Georgian Chronicles, "Thargamos" was thought to have lived in Babylon, before he received the "land between two Seas and two Mountains" (i.e. the Caucasus) in his possession. He then settled near Mount Ararat and divided his land among his sons:

 * 1) Hayk (Հայկ) - first son of Thargamos, inherited Mount Ararat and founded the Armenian nation.
 * 2) Kartlos (ქართლოსი)  - settled in north-east from Ararat, founder of Kartli (Sa'kartvelo) who united other brothers and founded the Georgian nation.
 * 3) Bardоs (ancestor of the Aghbanians/Aghuanians/Aghuans)
 * 4) Movkan (ancestors of the Movkans)
 * 5) Lekos ancestors of the "Lek" tribe of the North Caucasus.
 * 6) Heros (Herans) - settled in the eastern part of Ararat
 * 7) Caucas (Kovkases) - settled beyond the Caucasus Range, ancestor of the Ingush and Chechens.
 * 8) Egros (Egers) - settled between the Black Sea and Likhi Range (Western Georgia)

Jewish traditions
Togarmah was linked to several medieval Turkic peoples by Jewish traditions. The Khazar ruler Joseph ben Aaron (c. 960) writes in his letters:

"You ask us also in your epistle: 'Of what people, of what family, and of what tribe are you?' Know that we are descended from Japhet, through his son Togarmah. I have found in the genealogical books of my ancestors that Togarmah had ten sons."

He then goes on to enumerate ten names: These names are reconstructed by Korobkin (1998)

 * 1) Agyor (Orkhon Uyghurs?)
 * 2) Tiros (or scribal error for **Twrq, meaning Turks?)
 * 3) Ouvar (Avars)
 * 4) Ugin (or Uguz, possibly Oghuz Turks)
 * 5) Bisal (Pechenegs?)
 * 6) Tarna (cf. a Tarniach people who fled to the Avars from the Turks)
 * 7) Khazar (Khazars)
 * 8) Zanor (or Janur) (cf. a Zabender people who fled to the Avars from the Turks)
 * 9) Balnod (likely scribal error for Bulgar, meaning Bulgars)
 * 10) Savir (Sabirs)

The anonymous Jewish author of the medieval historical chronicle Josippon lists the ten sons of Togarmas in his Josippon as follows:

 * 1) Kwzar (כוזר) (the Khazars)
 * 2) Pyṣynq (פיצינק) (the Pechenegs)
 * 3) ˀln (אלן) (the Alans)
 * 4) Bwlgr (בולגר) (the Bulgars)
 * 5) Knbynˀ (כנבינא) (Kanbina?)
 * 6) Ṭwrq (טורק) (possibly the Göktürks)
 * 7) Bwz (בוז) (Flusser corrected this to כוז **Kwz for Ghuzz "Oghuzes", east of the Khazars)
 * 8) Zkwk (זכוך) (Zakhukh? or זיכוס **Zykws = Zikhūs, meaning the Northwest Caucasian Zygii? ) (or a Zabender people who fled to the Avars from the Turks)
 * 9) ˀwngr (אוגר) (Ungar; either the Hungarians or the Oghurs/Onogurs)
 * 10) Tolmaṣ (תולמץ) (cf. the Pecheneg tribe Βορο-ταλμάτ < *Boru-Tolmaç mentioned by Byzantine emperor Constantine VII).

In an 11th-century Arabic translation of Josippon by a Yemenite Jew: Togorma's tribes are these:
 * 1) al-Khazar (Khazars)
 * 2) al-Bajanāq (Pechenegs)
 * 3) al-Ās-Alān (Alans)
 * 4) al-Bulġar (Bulgars)
 * 5) [...]
 * 6) [...]
 * 7) [...]
 * 8) Khyabars (Kabars? or Sabirs?)
 * 9) Unjar (Hungarians or Oghurs/Onogurs)
 * 10) Ṭalmīs (cf. the Pecheneg tribe Βορο-ταλμάτ < *Boru-Tolmaç mentioned by Byzantine emperor Constantine VII).

In the Chronicles of Jerahmeel, the three "children" are listed as:

 * 1) Abihud
 * 2) Shāfaṭ
 * 3) Yaftir

And the ten "families" are listed as:

 * 1) Cuzar (the Khazars)
 * 2) Pasinaq (the Pechenegs)
 * 3) Alan (the Alans)
 * 4) Bulgar (the Bulgars)
 * 5) Kanbinah
 * 6) Turq (possibly the Göktürks)
 * 7) Buz (possibly scribal error for **Kwz, meaning Oghuz Turks)
 * 8) Zakhukh (scribal error for **Zykws, meaning Zygii?) (or a Zabender people who fled to the Avars from the Turks)
 * 9) Ugar (either the Hungarians or the Oghurs/Onogurs)
 * 10) Tulmes (cf. the Pecheneg tribe Βορο-ταλμάτ < *Boru-Tolmaç mentioned by Byzantine emperor Constantine VII)

Another medieval rabbinic work, the Book of Jasher, give the names:
 * 1) Buzar (possibly scribal error for Kuzar, meaning Khazars)
 * 2) Parzunac (the Pechenegs)
 * 3) Elicanum (the Alans?)
 * 4) Balgar (the Bulgars)
 * 5) Ragbib
 * 6) Tarki (possibly the Göktürks)
 * 7) Bid (possibly scribal error for **Kuz, meaning Oghuz Turks)
 * 8) Zebuc (scribal error for Zykws, meaning Zygii?) (or a Zabender people who fled to the Avars from the Turks)
 * 9) Ongal (Hungarians or Oghurs/Onogurs)
 * 10) Tilmaz (cf. the Pecheneg tribe Βορο-ταλμάτ < *Boru-Tolmaç mentioned by Byzantine emperor Constantine VII)).

In the 18th century, the French Benedictine monk and scholar Calmet (1672–1757) placed Togarmah in Scythia and Turcomania (in the Eurasian Steppes and Central Asia).

Annieopsquotch Mountains

The Annieopsquotch Mountains are located in the southwestern interior of the Canadian island of Newfoundland, east of Bay St. George. Rising to a peak of 687 m above sea level, this range of hills runs in a north-eastward direction between Victoria Lake and Beothuk Lake. Its name is Mi'kmaq and literally translated means 'terrible rocks'.

Geologically the range is composed of Ordovician ocean floor rock which includes an ophiolite thrust onto the continent during the closure of the Iapetus Ocean. Silurian clastic sedimentary rocks unconformably overly the ophiolite and granite intruded the area during the Devonian. Faulting and tilting of the area continued through the Carboniferous.

Lady Pank

Lady Pank is a popular Polish rock band, started in 1981 in Wrocław by Jan Borysewicz and Andrzej Mogielnicki. One of the most popular groups in history of Polish rock. Its first hit was Mała Lady Punk ("Little Lady Punk").

Lady Pank garnered some attention in the United States in 1985, when MTV placed the video for the band's single "Minus Zero" on rotation. The title was somewhat changed for the English language release; the original Polish title Mniej niż zero means "less than zero".

The video for one of the band's greatest hits Zawsze Tam Gdzie Ty is set on Chicago's 'L', the Quincy Station in particular.

Lineups and musicians
Jan Borysewicz and Janusz Panasewicz have been with the group since the beginning, and have maintained a specific and recognizable sound for the quintet. Most of the lead vocals are done by Panasewicz, and occasionally by Borysewicz.

The original members of band were:
 * Jan Borysewicz - solo guitar
 * Janusz Panasewicz - vocals
 * Paweł Mścisławski - bass guitar
 * Edmund Stasiak - guitar
 * Jarosław Szlagowski - drums

The band's current line up is:
 * Jan Borysewicz - solo guitar/vocals
 * Janusz Panasewicz - vocals
 * Kuba Jabłoński- drums
 * Krzysztof Kieliszkiewicz - bass guitar
 * Michał Sitarski - guitar

The band's most popular songs are: Tańcz głupia, tańcz ("Dance, stupid, dance"), Mniej niż zero ("Less than zero"), Wciąż bardziej obcy ("More and more of a stranger"), Kryzysowa narzeczona ("Crisis fiancée"), Zamki na piasku ("Castles on the sand"), Tacy sami ("Just the same"), Zostawcie Titanica ("Leave the Titanic alone"), Mała wojna ("Little war"), Zawsze tam gdzie ty ("Always there, where you are"), Znowu pada deszcz ("It's raining again"), Na granicy ("On the border"), Stacja Warszawa ("Warsaw Station").

Live performances
In 1983 alone, the group performed live 369 times. After another three years the total number of live shows grew to over 800, a record at the time in Poland. On November 30, 2000, Lady Pank played a jubilee concert in Wrocław, celebrating the group's 18th birthday. In 2007,they were celebrating their 25th birthday, during the tour promoting album "Strach się Bać". In 2008, they started playing symphonic concerts with Orkiestra Symfoników Gdańskich. In 2012, they played several symphonic concerts, celebrating they 30th jubilee. In 2014-15 they went on an acoustic tour over Poland, recording material for the album "Akustycznie". In late 2015, they started their "The Best of" Tour. In years 2016-2017 they played a tour, promoting their album "Miłość i władza" celebrating the 35th years on stage of the band. In 2018, they played LP1 Tour, promoting their album "LP1". In 2021, they started a tour promoting album "LP40", celebrating their 40th birthday. The tour ended on December 17, 2022, in Warsaw. On 22 June 2022 they recorded their "MTV Unplugged" concert.

Borysewicz and the other guitar players prefer Fender Stratocaster guitars, although he also use guitars such as Gibson, Ibanez or Charvel. His favourite guitar in years 2000-2018 was Fender Stratocaster Lone Star in candy apple red colour with his daughter's hand reflected in white paint. Since 2018 he is playing a Fender Stratocaster Jeff Beck Signature models. In 2020, he released his signature model of Laboga Diamond Sound combo amp series. His sound on the first Lady Pank album is most of 1978 Fender Stratocaster, Marshall Amplification amps, BOSS CE-1 Chorus and BOSS CS-1 Compressor.

The Chariot (tarot card)

The Chariot (VII) is the seventh trump or Major Arcana card in most traditional tarot decks. It is used in game playing as well as in divination.

Description
A figure sits in a chariot, although he holds no rope, he is pulled by two sphinxes or horses. There is often a black and white motif, for example one of the steeds may be black and the other white. The figure may be crowned or helmeted, and is winged in some representations. The figure may hold a sword or wand. The Thoth Tarot deck has the figure controlling four animals.

The mallet, or gavel, on the chariot's coat of arms is a masonic symbol representing self control.

A canopy of stars above the charioteer's head is intended to show "celestial influences".

Interpretation
According to A.E. Waite's 1910 book Pictorial Key to the Tarot, the Chariot card carries several divinatory associations:

"7. THE CHARIOT.—Succour, providence; also war, triumph, presumption, vengeance, trouble. Reversed: Riot, quarrel, dispute, litigation, defeat."In Astrology, the Chariot is associated with the feminine, cardinal-water sign of Cancer and its ruling planetary body, the Moon.

Zlatan (Златан) is a male given name of Slavic origin meaning Golden. The name is common amongst all South Slavic countries, namely in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, North Macedonia and Serbia. The name is found in particularly high frequencies in Bosnia because it is considered ethnically neutral amongst the three dominant Bosnian ethnicities: Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats. The name is derived from the South Slavic word zlato - from the Old Slavic root zolto (gold).

Shane Lynch

Shane Eamon Mark Stephen Lynch (born 3 July 1976) is an Irish singer, best known as a member of Boyzone. He has also taken part in auto racing, participated in reality shows such as Celebrity Big Brother in 2018 and appeared as a judge on The All Ireland Talent Show.

Early life
Born to Brendan and Noeleen Lynch, a mechanic and housewife, and raised in Donaghmede, North-east Dublin, Lynch struggled with his education during his school years due to dyslexia, but excelled at sports and was a motor racing enthusiast, winning the Portuguese BMX Championship at fourteen. Around this period he was expelled from school and began to work with his father as a mechanic.

Boyzone
In 1993, music manager Louis Walsh, who had managed Johnny Logan, held auditions in Dublin to find a new boyband to rival British group Take That. Lynch was among the hopefuls present, and was eventually selected. Before even recording any material, he and five other successful auditionees made their infamous appearance on RTÉ's The Late Late Show with Gay Byrne. Although their performance was criticised by the Irish press, the band became one of the most successful pop bands in Ireland.

Lynch quickly gained a reputation as the bad boy of the group due to his body piercings, tattoos and violent outbursts which clashed with the band's clean-cut image. In 1999, he attended the MTV Europe Music Awards with the band, breaking protocol with his FUBU tracksuit while his bandmates wore co-ordinated suits, and announced to the shocked audience "In the press recently, there's been a whole load of fucking shite about Boyzone in the year 2000 about breaking up, [but] we are not breaking up." Later that night, he was involved in a physical brawl with American rapper Puff Daddy. Two years later, at a live concert for Childline, Lynch turned to the camera and yelled: "Tabloid newspapers, you can kiss me fucking arse!" In 2007, Boyzone reunited, completed a 29-date reunion tour, and released their comeback single on 29 September 2008, Love You Anyway, which was followed by a Greatest Hits album entitled Back Again... No Matter What released on 13 October 2008.

Acting
In 2004, during his break from Boyzone, Lynch played Eli Knox the chairman of Harchester United in the Sky One football drama, Dream Team.

In 2016 he starred as Abanazer in the Blue Genie production of Aladdin at The Whitley Bay Playhouse.

Motorsport
A keen motor racing enthusiast, Lynch raced a Marcos, TVR and then Mosler from 2002 to 2006 for the Eclipse Motorsport team in the British GT Championship, and came within a few laps of winning the 2003 British GT Championship at the last race of the season at Brands Hatch when he crashed into a spinning backmarker he was lapping. In 2005, he was involved with the 'Christians in Motorsport' team and competed in the British GT Championship Silverstone round. Lynch addressed a crowd of race fans at the team marquee about how his faith helps him in racing and in life generally.
