Quintus Pedius (consul)

Quintus Pedius (c. 92 BC – late 43 BC) was a Roman politician and general who lived during the late Republic. He served as a military officer under Julius Caesar for most of his career. Serving with Caesar during the civil war, he was elected praetor in 48 BC and was given a triumph for victories over the Pompeians during the civil war's second Spanish campaign.

After Caesar's death, he joined with Caesar's heir Octavian and, with him, assumed suffect consulships in 43 BC in place of the ordinary consuls who had fallen in battle. He promulgated the lex Pedia, which established courts in which Caesar's killers and allies thereof were convicted in absentia. He died shortly after the start of the Second Triumvirate's proscriptions.

Early life
He was the son of his homonymous father and his wife, Julia. This Julia was one of the dictator Julius Caesar's sisters, making this Pedius one of Caesar's nephews.

Pedius served under Julius Caesar during the Gallic Wars starting in 57 BC. Broughton's Magistrates of the Roman Republic places his term in Gaul under Caesar from 58–56 BC. In 55 BC, he lost an election for the office of aedile.

During Caesar's civil war, Pedius joined with Caesar. In 48 BC, Pedius assumed a praetorship. In that same year, he commanded a legion and who had been leading the ill-fated revolt. From 46 to 45 BC, Pedius served as a Caesarian legate in Spain. Pedius claimed victory against Sextus Pompey and returned to Rome with Caesar. He was then honoured with a triumph as pro consule ex Hispania; the honour was granted illegally, according to Dio, as he was merely one of Caesar's legates.

Suetonius and Appian record that after Caesar's assassination in March 44 BC, Pedius was named one of Caesar's heirs in his will. With his cousin Lucius Pinarius, he was to receive a quarter of Caesar's estate, but he renounced the inheritance in favor of Caesar's main heir, Pedius' cousin Octavian (the future emperor Augustus).

Consulship
After the ordinary consuls of that year, Gaius Vibius Pansa Caetronianus and Aulus Hirtius, were both killed while fighting against Antony during the battle of Mutina, Octavian – the only surviving commander of senatorial forces – marched on the city at the head of his army to demand his elevation as consul. With Pedius as Octavian's colleague, on 19 August 43 BC, the two assumed office as suffect consuls after an irregularly convoked election.

Lex Pedia
Their first action was to confirm Octavian's adoption as Caesar's heir; then, at Octavian's suggestion, Pedius promulgated the lex Pedia, which established courts to prosecute Caesar's killers. This overruled a previous senatus consultum which protected the tyrannicides from prosecution. Consequently, Caesar's killers – along with co-conspirators and others who had little to do with the crime – were then convicted in absentia, according to Appian, all in a single day of proceedings. They were formally "debarred from fire and water and their property [was] confiscated".

After the passage of the lex Pedia, he also brought legislation to rescind the declaration of Mark Antony and Marcus Aemilius Lepidus as public enemies. The early and rushed passage of the lex Pedia was likely related to Octavian's attempts to assume for himself leadership of the Caesarian faction by displaying his bona fides in avenging the death of Caesar; the lex Pedia was likely unrelated to the following proscriptions.

Death
Pedius was left in charge of Rome, while Octavian left for Northern Italy to join Antony and Lepidus in forming the Second Triumvirate. When news reached Rome of the new political alliance and of the lists of people whom the triumvirs had marked for death, Soon afterwards, Pedius had suffered so much political fatigue he died.

Personal life
Pedius married a Roman noblewoman called Valeria, a sister of Marcus Valerius Messalla Corvinus and thus a daughter of Marcus Valerius Messalla Niger and his wife, Polla. Pedius and Valeria had at least one child, a son named Quintus Pedius Publicola. Publicola became a Roman senator and distinguished himself with his oratory. Pliny the Elder in his Naturalis Historia mentions that Quintus Pedius had a grandson, also named Quintus Pedius, who was mute and supposedly deaf; this grandson may be the

Nymeo Field at Harry Grove Stadium

Nymeo Field at Harry Grove Stadium, located in Frederick, Maryland, is the home of the Frederick Keys, a collegiate summer baseball team of the MLB Draft League. Opened in 1990, it seats 5,400 fans.

History
The stadium is named for Harry Grove, who was one of the founders of the Frederick Hustlers, a professional team that existed between 1915 and the World War II era. The Grove family also donated $250,000 to the city to help build the park and were thus honored in the naming of it. Another $1 million was provided by the city of Frederick along with $1.5 million provided by the state of Maryland and $250,000 from Frederick County.

The 2005 Class A all-star game, pitting the Carolina League against the California League, was played in Harry Grove Stadium.

Harry Grove Stadium has also hosted various concerts. On August 19, 2006, Bob Dylan played to a sell-out crowd during his third annual 'Summer Minor League Baseball Park Tour'. The World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has made it an annual summer stop on its live event tours, a rarity in that the stadium is an outdoor venue.

Harry Grove Stadium also serves host to several autocross clubs, who use the lower lot for their autocross course.

In 1998, the stadium hosted the Frederick Regiment, a team in the single-season Maryland Fall Baseball league. The Spire City Ghost Hounds of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball began to play here in April 2023.

Renovations
In 2006, Keys ownership began a project to revitalize Harry Grove Stadium. Renovations have included a new field, seating section, suite level restoration and a new lighting system.

A new scoreboard and videoboard and audio visual equipment was in place for the 2009 season.

Further upgrades include public restrooms that have been completely renovated along with those in the clubhouse, and multiple improvements to bring Harry Grove Stadium into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Naming rights
On December 5, 2013, the Frederick Mayor and Board of Aldermen approved an amended contract that will allow the Frederick Keys to seek a sponsor for stadium naming rights while retaining "Harry Grove" as part of the name. Mayor Randy McClement said, "The stadium is always going to be Harry Grove Stadium. But the idea behind naming rights is to look at portions of the stadium that could used for naming rights." The city will get 35% of the net profit from the naming fees with the remainder going to the team. On February 5, 2015, the Frederick Keys announced a deal had been reached with Nymeo Federal Credit Union to use the name "Nymeo Field at Harry Grove Stadium."

Lucius Pinarius

Lucius Pinarius Scarpus (flourished 1st century BC) was a Roman who lived during the late Republic and the early Empire. He served as the Roman governor of Cyrene, Libya during the War of Actium. He was originally loyal to Mark Antony, but eventually switched sides and joined Octavian following the latter's victory at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC.

Life
According to Suetonius, Pinarius was a grandnephew of dictator Gaius Julius Caesar by one of his sisters, Julia Major. His cousins were the consul Quintus Pedius, Octavia Minor (the fourth wife of Triumvir Mark Antony), and Octavian (the future emperor Augustus).

His father was a member of the gens Pinaria, an ancient, distinguished family of patrician status. The family can be traced to the foundations of Rome. Various members of the gens served as priests and were among the first to serve as consuls in the republic.

Little is known on Scarpus' early life. He is first mentioned in the ancient sources when Caesar was assassinated in Rome in March 44 BC. In the will of Caesar, Scarpus received one eighth of the property of the dictator, the same amount as Pedius. The main heir of Caesar was Octavian, who received three quarters of the property of his great uncle. But Scarpus and Pedius also assigned their inheritance to Octavian.

Scarpus became an ally to Mark Antony and commanded for him in the war against the murderers of Caesar, Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus. In the years leading up to the War of Actium, in Actium, Greece 31 BC, Antony appointed Scarpus to the military command of Cyrenaica. Scarpus had with him four legions to command. During his time in Cyrenaica, Scarpus had control of the currency mint in Cyrene, as he became a moneyer. Scarpus had issued various coins bearing Antony's name and Scarpus’ name was inscribed as an issuer of those coins.

After Antony and his lover, the Ptolemaic Greek Queen Cleopatra VII of Egypt, were defeated by Octavian at Actium (September 2, 31 BC), they sailed back to North Africa. Antony sent messengers to Scarpus for help. But Scarpus refused to see Antony's messengers and put them to death. Instead, he changed sides. He gave his legions to Gaius Cornelius Gallus, Octavian's lieutenant, to command. While Octavian marched from the East through Asia, Syria and Judea against Egypt, Cornelius Gallus advanced with Scarpus’ legions from the west against Alexandria.

When Antony and Cleopatra died, Octavian became the new Roman master and then emperor. Augustus had appointed his cousin as the Roman governor of Cyrenaica. Scarpus, as he did for Antony, became a moneyer and had issued various coins bearing Augustus’ name. On these coins, Scarpus had his name inscribed as an issuer of the coins. Beyond that, nothing is known of Scarpus.

In fiction
Lucius Pinarius is the protagonist in the last part of Steven Saylor's book Roma. The book follows the known facts of his life but adds many episodes not attested in historical sources. As depicted in the book, on the last evening of his life Julius Caesar had a long personal talk with Pinarius (then seventeen years old), telling of his plans for conquest of Parthia and beyond and promising Pinarius a share in the greater Roman Empire which Caesar envisaged. On the following day, while visiting the house of Brutus, Pinarius discovered the plot to kill Caesar, ran as fast as he could in order to warn him - but arrived just too late, only in time to see Caesar being actually assassinated. In a later part Saylor depicts Pinarius as being secretly in love with Cleopatra and - wanting to spare her humiliation and degradation at the hands of the victorious Augustus - providing her with the asp with which she committed suicide.

Abu Mansur Muwaffaq

Abū Manṣūr Muwaffaq Harawī (Arabic/Persian: أبو منصور موفق هروي) was a 10th-century Persian physician.

He flourished in Herat (modern-day Afghanistan), under the Samanid prince Mansur I, who ruled from 961 to 976.

He was apparently the first to think of compiling a treatise on materia medica in Persian; he travelled extensively in Persia and India to obtain the necessary information.

Abu Mansur distinguished between sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate, and seems to have had some knowledge about arsenious oxide, cupric oxide, silicic acid, and antimony; he knew the toxicological effects of copper and lead compounds, the depilatory vertue of quicklime, the composition of plaster of Paris, and its surgical use.

The book, al-Abniya
Between 968 and 977 C.E., Muwaffaq compiled his Book of the Remedies (Kitab al-Abniya 'an Haqa'iq al-Adwiya, کتاب الابنیه عن حقائق الادویه), which is the oldest prose work in New Persian. It is also the only work of his to survive into modern times. The book begins with an introductory general theory of pharmacology. The body of the work mainly deals with over five-hundred remedies (most of which are plant-based, however seventy-five come from minerals, and forty-four from animals); they are classified into four groups according to their physiological action. Muwaffaq was a consummate scholar, and cited Arab, Greek, Syrian and Ayurvedic authorities.

The oldest copy of this book that we have is from 1055, which was transcribed by Asadi Tusi, a famous poet, and is in the Austrian National Library.

Malvern Collegiate Institute

Malvern Collegiate Institute (Malvern CI, MCI or Malvern), previously known as East Toronto High School and Malvern High School is a high school located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada part of the Toronto District School Board. Prior to 1998, it was part of the Toronto Board of Education.

The school was founded in 1903 and since then, Malvern has rooted in a long-standing history of academic and extra-curricular excellence with a close connection to the Beach community. The motto is Victrix Sapientia Fortunae (“Wisdom conquers fortune”).

History
Malvern C.I. was founded in 1903 as "East Toronto High School" in the mainly working class village of East Toronto. It opened in the original Mary Street School building on Mary St. (now Kimberley P.S. and Kimberley Ave.) when the elementary school moved into a new building on the same site. The Toronto Board of Education bought a new property on Malvern Avenue (then known as Charles Street) in 1905 and opened a new building of four rooms in 1906. In 1908 East Toronto was annexed to Toronto, and the name "Charles Street" was changed to Malvern Avenue; in 1910 the Board renamed the school Malvern Avenue High School. In 1914, it became Malvern Avenue Collegiate and subsequently Malvern Collegiate Institute.

The statue that stands on the west side of the school on Malvern Avenue, just outside the library, was built in 1922 in honour of the students that had attended Malvern C.I. and died in World War I. In November 2011, a ceremony rededicating the statue was held, a week before Remembrance Day to commemorate the repairs done to the arm. Less than 48 hours later, the statue was vandalized. It now has added security.

Like other Ontario schools, Malvern had a 13th grade from 1921 to 1988; grade 13 was replaced by the Ontario Academic Credit for students starting high school in 1984. OAC continued to act as a fifth year of secondary education until it was phased out in 2003.

Despite sharing its name with the unrelated Malvern neighbourhood (located approximately 16.1 km northeast of the school) in Scarborough, Malvern Collegiate is located in the Beach neighbourhood, The Beaches.

Malvern celebrated its centennial in 2003 and Malvern at 110 in 2013.

In 2006, Toronto Life magazine stated that Malvern CI had the best English program in Toronto, a notable change from the 1980s, when the same magazine rated Malvern's English department as being in the bottom five of all Toronto collegiates.

The school's mascot is the Black Knight, and the school colours are double red and black. Its school song is Onward Malvern.

Its Concert and Marching band is renowned, and has played in many Santa Claus Parades, the official opening of the Toronto City Hall, for the Blue Jays, and the Grey Cup, to name a few, and garnered several awards over the years. Since 1960, the Malvern band has stood out for their uniform of red jackets with black and red kilts.

Malvern won the 2009 Anne Hope Award for its contributions in promoting human rights and equity education.

Images
Let's civilly discuss these images, rather than keep on removing them and replacing them. It's frivolous. I note that NFCC has been noted, but "What counts as exempt under NFCC can be controversial, and should be established as a violation first. Consider reporting to the Wikipedia:Non-free content review noticeboard instead of relying on this exemption." In other words, if it's debated about whether something should stay, bring it up as a community member before deleting another editor's work. It's always easier to delete than to restore, especially when some images are difficult to source, such as these. The validity of these images is based on the fact that each of them indicates the respective album's cover. Each is worthy of being kept on that merit. This isn't a list, it's a collective album series, so the "list" argument doesn't stand, and finally, each of these albums has no merit being individually categorised or set up as its own article and a collective article is more appropriate, given the collective subject matter. -- rm 'w a vu  08:44, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Rockford University

Rockford University is a private university in Rockford, Illinois. It was founded in 1847 as Rockford Female Seminary and changed its name to Rockford College in 1892, and to Rockford University in 2013.

History
Rockford Female Seminary was founded in 1847 as the sister college of Beloit College, which had been founded the year before. The seminary's initial campus was on the east side of the Rock River, south of downtown Rockford. Anna Peck Sill served as principal for the first 35 years.

In 1890, the seminary's trustees voted to offer a full college curriculum, which led to the name changing to Rockford College in 1892.

Men were first granted admission to the university at the beginning of the 1955–1956 school year. At about this time, the school requested that the City of Rockford close parts of a street adjoining the campus.

In 1984 Rockford College founded Regent's College in London, now Regent's University London.

On October 2, 2012, the board of trustees voted unanimously to rename the college as a university. The trustees did so because the institution has many different academic departments. On July 1, 2013, the institution officially became Rockford University.

Patricia Lynott has served as the university's president since 2022.

The University held a business summit June 29, 2023, that included presidents of the Rockford Hard Rock Casino and OSF St. Anthony Medical Center.

Academics
The university offers approximately 80 majors, minors and concentrations, including the adult accelerated degree completion program for a B.S. in Management Studies. Through its Graduate Studies department, degree include the Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT), and a Master of Education (MEd).

The university is organized into three colleges:
 * Arts and Humanities
 * Science, Math, and Nursing
 * Social Sciences, Commerce and Education

The university offers an Honors Program in Liberal Arts & Sciences. Also housed within the university are the Center for Nonprofit Excellence and the Center for Learning Strategies.

Athletics
The Rockford University Regents are Division III members of the NCAA. Teams compete independently or as members of the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference.

The university fields men's teams in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, soccer, and track and field, and women's teams in basketball, cross country, soccer, softball, track and field, and volleyball.

Cooper Stadium

Cooper Stadium was a baseball stadium in Columbus, Ohio, that was built in 1931 and closed in 2008. It was the home of several minor league teams, including the Columbus Clippers from 1977 to 2008.

History
Cooper Stadium was built in 1931 as Red Bird Stadium as the home for the then-Columbus Red Birds of the American Association, one of the minor league teams of the St. Louis Cardinals. It was constructed using the same blueprints which were used for building Red Wing Stadium in Rochester, New York in 1929. The Cardinals owned both teams when the respective stadiums were built.

When the Red Birds moved to Omaha after the 1954 season, the International League's Ottawa Athletics moved to Columbus as the Jets and took up residence at the stadium. Accordingly, it was renamed Jets Stadium. The Jets moved out in 1970, and the stadium sat dormant for six years.

When the International League granted a new franchise to Columbus, the county government bought and renovated Jet Stadium, which was renamed Franklin County Stadium, for the newly minted Clippers. In 1984 the stadium was renamed in honor of Harold Cooper, who was responsible for bringing the Jets to Columbus in the 1950s, and had AstroTurf installed, which was removed by 1997. The stadium was owned and operated by the Franklin County government, located in the section of the city known as Franklinton.

Tenants and events
Over the years, Cooper Stadium was home to the Columbus Red Birds, a farm team for the St. Louis Cardinals; the Negro league Columbus Blue Birds; the Columbus Jets; and, after the renovation was completed, the Columbus Clippers. From 1939 through 1941, Cooper Stadium (then named Red Bird Stadium) was also home to the Columbus Bullies, two-time champions of the third American Football League.

Cooper Stadium hosted the 1989 Triple-A All-Star Game. The team of National League-affiliated All-Stars defeated the team of American League-affiliated All-Stars, 8–3.

The stadium has also hosted a number of other events, such as roller derbies, music concerts (including Aerosmith, Rush, Bob Dylan & Garth Brooks), professional wrestling (including Bobo Brazil, the Sheik, & Ali Baba) and hosted evangelist Billy Graham.

Cooper Stadium also hosted the OHSAA Ohio high-school boys baseball State Tournament.

Final baseball game
The Clippers moved from Cooper Stadium after the 2008 season to a new ballpark, Huntington Park, which is located in the Arena District in downtown Columbus. On September 1, 2008, the final game was played as the Toledo Mud Hens defeated the Columbus Clippers in front of 16,770 fans, the third largest crowd in stadium history.

Racetrack conversion
As of May 1, 2008, a proposal to turn the site of Cooper Stadium into an auto racing facility was being considered. This is not a completely new use for the facility, as the parking lot south of the stadium has been used for Sports Car Club of America and autocross racing as well as motorcycle training. On June 27, 2011, the Columbus City Council voted to rezone the site to allow for a racetrack to be built.

On December 20, 2011, the Columbus Board of Zoning Adjustment approved a special permit by a vote of 4-0 that would clear the way for developer Arshot Investment to build a half-mile racetrack, automotive research and technology center. Arshot planned to spend up to $40 million to develop the 47-acre site.

Rumored plans also included a $22 million overhaul to eventually become the OHSAA stadium for most outdoor events (baseball, football, soccer, lacrosse, etc.). This would then make Cooper Stadium a multi-purpose stadium.

By April 2017 the first base side of the stadium had been demolished, leaving the third base side and bleachers still standing as what was to become the straightaway grandstands of the proposed race track. No other construction had been completed and according to an article appearing in The Columbus Dispatch, the project appeared to be dead.

As of September 2021, the former stadium site sits half demolished and abandoned.

RS change (so far)
I initiated a discussion on the WP:IRS page to request differentiation between fact and opinion pieces in newspapers. While the discussion did not go too far, I noticed that in the meantime a clear distinction was made on the project page itself. I do not know if this will stand, but I think you can see the implications of downgrading "facts" contained in opinion pieces. I can think of some nice places to start modifying. Just thought you might like to know. P.S.: What does it mean to support nature's beauty?

Louisville Slugger Field

Louisville Slugger Field is a baseball stadium in Louisville, Kentucky. The baseball-specific stadium opened in 2000 with a seating capacity of 13,131. It is currently home to the professional baseball team, the Louisville Bats, Triple-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds. From 2015 to 2019, it was also home to Louisville City FC, a professional soccer team in the USL Championship.

The unique design of Louisville Slugger Field includes a former train shed on the site which was incorporated into the stadium. The Ohio River and state of Indiana are visible from the park, as well as views of downtown Louisville. Naming rights for the stadium were purchased by Hillerich & Bradsby, makers of the famous Louisville Slugger baseball bat, and the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory is located several blocks further down Main Street. The stadium is accessible from I-64, I-65, and I-71.

History
The Louisville Bats and the City of Louisville broke ground on Louisville Slugger Field on November 13, 1998. In front of an estimated crowd of 1,000, Mayor Jerry Abramson and Governor Paul E. Patton cut out the first home plate before they broke the ground with Bats President Gary Ulmer and other officials.

The stadium hosted the 2008 Triple-A All-Star Game, in which the Pacific Coast League All-Stars defeated the International League All-Stars, 6–5, in front of a sellout crowd.

On July 8, 2009, John Mellencamp, Bob Dylan, and Willie Nelson held a concert at the ballpark.

In March 2015, Louisville City FC became the stadium's second major tenant. The team plays in the USL Championship (known before the 2019 season as the United Soccer League), which at the time occupied the third division of U.S. professional soccer but has now been elevated to second-division status. Louisville City left Slugger Field after the 2019 season, moving into the new Lynn Family Stadium several blocks to the east in Butchertown for the 2020 season.

On August 1, 2008, a record crowd of 18,543 people attended a concert by Dave Matthews Band.

Features
The design of Louisville Slugger Field is a joint effort of HNTB Architects of Kansas City, Mo and K. Norman Berry Associates Architects of Louisville. The field was financed through a partnership between the city, the Bats, Hillerich & Bradsby, the Brown Foundation, Humana Inc. and the Humana Foundation.

The stadium includes 11,522 fixed seats, of which 92 are "On-Deck Club", meaning they have theater style padding, and are located in the first two rows of the sections behind home-plate. As well, there is room for 1,609 additional spectators in the picnic areas and berm sections. The ballpark also includes 32 private suites, 850 second-level club seats, a continuous concourse around the field, an outfield seating berm, extensive press facilities, concessions and restrooms, a children's play area, including a carousel, team and administrative offices and numerous retail amenities. Spectators enter the stadium through the restored "train shed" building, which was formerly the Brinly-Hardy Co. warehouse.

The Main Street side of the building includes exterior access to a microbrewery and restaurant located within the facility, as well as a statue of Louisville native and Baseball Hall of Famer Pee Wee Reese. The Witherspoon Street entrance, diagonally situated from Waterfront Park includes a statue of Pro Football Hall of Famer Paul Hornung.

While the full capacity of the park is 13,131, the capacity for soccer matches was normally restricted to 8,000 due to less-than-optimal sightlines for that sport.

The redirect to this page from "Southern Methodist Church" needs to be eliminated. As noted in the article, there is an ongoing Suthern Methodist Church which dissented from the 1939 merger and considers itself to be the ongoing successor to this body. Rlquall 01:57, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The number of slaves Bishop Andrew eventually aquired is in some debate. The number could be as high as 27, and census reports are not consistant. Also, the method and manner by which he aquired the slaves cannot be proven. Reverend Mommy 01:50, 8 February 2007 (UTC)candlemb

While Duke Divinity School is not a conservative school (in a modern sense) it is not a "progressive" school, particularly in a classical sense. Its narrative theology has a history of going against protestant liberalism and progressive theology. It is really quite orthodox in most of its teaching. I think the last sentence needs to become less subjective.

PNC Field

PNC Field is a 10,000-seat minor league baseball stadium that is located in Moosic, Pennsylvania, in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre metropolitan area that was built in 1989 and rebuilt in 2013. The stadium is home to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, the Triple-A affiliate of the New York Yankees.

The stadium also hosts high school sports games. It hosts the PIAA District II baseball district championship games for high school baseball. It also hosts high school football games such as the Railriders Bowl for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area high school football teams, sponsored by the Railriders.

PNC Field was formerly known as Lackawanna County Stadium from 1989 to 2006; Lackawanna County sold the naming rights to PNC Bank on February 1, 2007, and the stadium became known as PNC Field.

Original structure
The stadium opened on April 26, 1989, and was built as a "mini version" of the Phillies' Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia. The artificial turf surfaced stadium was used as a multipurpose facility. The upper-level seats of the stadium were orange and the lower-level seats were green. They also have bleacher seats at the stadium. Many amateur sports competitions were held there, as well as regional band competitions, ice skating, and car shows.

On July 12, 1995, the stadium hosted the Triple-A All-Star Game. The American League affiliate stars shutout their National League opponents, 9–0, in front of 10,965 fans. Future major leaguers to appear in the game included Derek Jeter, Jeromy Burnitz, Jason Isringhausen, and manager Grady Little.

In 2007, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre franchise signed a Player Development Contract with the New York Yankees, ending an 18-year agreement with the Philadelphia Phillies. This new contract called for the conversion of the playing surface to natural grass. The stadium still plays host to several amateur baseball competitions throughout the season.

In February 2010, the SWB Yankees announced that they have reached an agreement with PNC Bank to renew the naming rights to the stadium. Terms of the deal were not released. PNC Field hosted the 2017 Triple-A Baseball National Championship Game at the end of the season, where the winner of the Pacific Coast League faced the winner of the International League.

Renovations/reconstruction and new structure
At a public hearing on November 8, 2010, officials from Lackawanna County, Mandalay Baseball Properties and the Lackawanna County Multipurpose Stadium Authority discussed the potential sale of the SWB Yankees and possible renovation of PNC Field. The following day, the club announced plans to pursue a $40 million renovation to the stadium which would dramatically alter the layout of PNC Field.

The $43.3 million renovation project was revealed to be a complete reconstruction of the stadium. The reconstruction consisted of demolishing the existing upper deck, press box, and concourse behind the playing field, while retaining the seating bowl and ticket office. The stadium would receive a new press box, luxury suites, and wrap-around concourse.

The renovation officially began on April 27, 2012, with the removal of seats in the stadium's upper deck. The architect of the renovation was EwingCole while the general contractor was Alvin H. Butz, Inc.

The renovation/reconstruction of PNC Field was completed in time for opening day in 2013.

It was the Yankees' alternate training site in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of the Minor League Baseball campaign and the abbreviation of the Major League Baseball season.

In the subsequent 1994 European Parliament election in Italy, he recorded the highest number of preferential vote (about 30,000) among those who were not elected. In the 1996 Italian general election, he was elected to the Italian Parliament as a member of the Labour Federation. In 2013, Pittella was a member of the national leadership council of the Democratic Party, then led by Pier Luigi Bersani. He took part in the 2013 Democratic Party leadership election. He came fourth out of four with 5.7% in the vote by party members, thus being excluded to the subsequent primary election.

Member of the European Parliament
In the 1999 European Parliament election in Italy, Pittella was elected to the European Parliament with 64,499 preferential votes and became a member of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats. He was re-elected in the 2004 (138,876 preferential votes), 2009, and 2014 European Parliament elections. In 2014, he added over 100,000 votes to his 2009 result, placing him ahead of party-colleague Pina Picierno, the candidate hand-picked by the then Italian prime minister Matteo Renzi to lead the Democratic Party list in the European Parliament's Southern Italy constituency representing Sicily and the other Italian islands.

In the European Parliament, Pittella first served on the Committee on Budgets between 1999 and 2009. In this capacity, he was the European Parliament's rapporteur on the 2006 budget, the last under a seven-year expenditure framework. He later was a member of the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection (2009–2012) and the Committee on Culture and Education (2012–2014). Within his parliamentary group, he led the Italian delegation within the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats and also served as the group's First Vice-Chairman between 1999 and 2014 under the leadership of successive chairmen Enrique Barón Crespo (1999–2004), Martin Schulz (2004–2012), and Hannes Swoboda (2012–2014).

Pittella served as one of the 14 Vice-Presidents of the European Parliament from 14 July 2009 to 1 July 2014. Following the 2014 European Parliament election in Italy, he was elected with 96 percent of the votes as the president of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats, the second largest political group at the European Parliament and the only one with members from all 28 European Union member states. In addition to his committee assignments and party functions, Pittella served on the Parliament's delegation. He was previously a member of the delegation for relations with Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, and Kosovo (2009–2014), with Australia and New Zealand (2002–2004), and with Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia (1999–2002).

Earlier in 2012 while still in Brussels, Pittella had introduced Simona Mangiante to Joseph Mifsud, an academic from Malta reportedly with high level ties with the Russian government. At the time, Mangiante worked for the European Parliament as an attorney specializing in child abduction cases. Later, she worked as an administrator to the European Parliament Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs during the Seventh European Parliament. In 2018, Mangiante said that he "always saw Mifsud with Pittella" and that Pittella, who did not comment, suggested she go to work for Mifsud in London.

Pittella attended the 2016 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia to watch the nomination of Hillary Clinton. Alongside Brando Benifei, he was there in support of Bernie Sanders, to whom he asked for a fan pic. By the end of the week, Pittella urged Americans to not vote for Donald Trump, saying: "Europe needs the U.S. We need Hillary Clinton." During his time in Philadelphia, Pittella also warned local businesspeople and supporters about fascism. He said: "I have taken the unprecedented step of endorsing and campaigning for Hillary Clinton because the risk of Donald Trump is too high. I believe it is in the interest of the European Union and Italy to have Hillary Clinton in office. A Trump victory could be a disaster for the relationship between the U.S.A. and Italy."

Return to Italian politics
In the 2018 Italian general election, Pittella was elected to the Senate of the Republic, having been invited to stand by Democratic Party secretary Matteo Renzi. He subsequently resigned as leader of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats group. In 2021, Pittella was elected mayor of Lauria. In 2022, Pittella left the Democratic Party and alongside his brother, who was not chosen as candidate within the Democratic Party, joined the Action party led by former Democratic Party member Carlo Calenda. Ahead of the 2024 Basilicata regional election, Pittella dissented from his brother, who alleged vetoes within the centre-left coalition and went on to join the centre-right coalition in support of the incumbent president Vito Bardi.

Personal life
Pittella is married and has two children. Besides his political work, he is the author of several books, including among others on the future and challenges of the European project, such as Rosso Antico (1996), Diario di bordo (1997), Sparlare, parlare, pensare (1998), Eurodiario (1999–2000), Il Triangolo della ricchezza (2003), Europ@ (2004), Dal Sud in Europa con te (2004), Partiti europei e gruppi politici nel nuovo europarlamento dell'Unione a 25 (2004), Un'Europa per i cittadini (2006), and Brief History of the Future of the United States of Europe (2013). He was the founder and director of the magazine Il Segno Mediterraneo. He is also a visiting professor at the University of East Anglia's London Academy of Diplomacy and ex-officio member of the bureau of the Fondation européenne d'études progressistes (FEPS). Pittella is a honorary citizen of the city of Buenos Aires. In September 2013, his younger brother, Marcello Pittella, whose political trajectory is very similar to that of his older brother, won the entre-left coalition primary election for the presidency of Basilicata. In November 2013, he was elected president by a landslide.

World Federation for Mental Health

The World Federation for Mental Health (WFMH) is an international, multi-professional non-governmental organization (NGO), including citizen volunteers and former patients. It was founded in 1948 in the same era as the United Nations (UN) and the World Health Organization (WHO).

Aims
The goal of this international organization includes;
 * The prevention of mental and emotional disorders;
 * The proper treatment and care of those with such disorders;
 * And the promotion of mental health

The Federation, through its members and contacts in more than 94 countries on six continents, has responded to international mental health crises through its role as the only worldwide grassroots advocacy and public education organization in the mental health field. Its organizational and individual membership includes mental health workers of all disciplines, consumers of mental health services, family members, and concerned citizens. At its very outset the WFMH was concerned with educating both the public and influential professionals, and with human relations, with a view both to the health of individuals and that of groups and nations. The WFMH founding document, "Mental Health and World Citizenship", understood "world citizenship" in terms of a "common humanity" respecting individual and cultural differences, and declared that "the ultimate goal of mental health is to help [people] live with their fellows in one world.

Members include mental health service providers and service users. In 2009, the World Fellowship for Schizophrenia and Allied Disorders, an international network of families of people with serious mental illness, merged with the World Federation. The World Federation has close ties with the World Health Organization. For many years after its founding, the WFMH was the only NGO of its kind with a close working relationship with UN agencies, particularly the WHO. In recent decades, though, a number of international mental health organizations, often limited to members of particular professions, have developed. In varying degree they have filled needs formerly addressed mainly by WFMH. The WFMH envisions a world in which mental health is a priority for all people. Public policies and programs reflect the crucial importance of mental health in the lives of individuals. The first Director General of the WHO, G. Brock Chisholm, who was a psychiatrist, was one of the leaders in forming the federation with the goal of creating a representative organization that could consult with the UN on mental health issues.

The mission of the World Federation for Mental Health is to promote the advancement of mental health awareness, prevention of mental disorders, advocacy, and best practice recovery focused interventions worldwide. Mental health day is celebrated at the initiative of the World Federation of Mental Health and WHO supports this initiative through raising awareness on mental health issues using its strong relationships with the Ministries of health and civil society organizations across the globe. Mental Illness Awareness Week (MIAW) is an annual national public education campaign designed to help open the eyes of Canadians to the reality of mental illness. The week was established in 1992 by the Canadian Psychiatric Association, and is now coordinated by the Canadian Alliance on Mental Illness and Mental Health (CAMIMH) in cooperation with all its member organizations and many other supporters across Canada.

Talk:Christ Church Cathedral (Nashville, Tennessee)

Nashville, Tennessee vs. just Nashville in Intro
I do think that it should say Nashville, Tennessee Instead of Nashville in the introductory sentance so that the article is more precise. I would just use "Nashville" throughout the rest of the article though. Kevin Rector (talk) 02:04, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)

The New Lassie

The New Lassie is an American family drama series which aired in first-run syndication from September 8, 1989 to February 15, 1992. The series stars Will Estes (then using his real name of Will Nipper) as Will McCullough, Lassie's new master. Real life husband and wife Christopher and Dee Wallace-Stone co-starred as Will's parents.

The New Lassie is essentially a sequel to the 1954 series, and was the latest in the line of works featuring the Lassie character, which debuted in the 1943 film Lassie Come Home, followed by several more movies and the aforementioned television series, which ran from 1954 to 1973.

Synopsis
The series centers on the McCulloughs, a middle-class family living in suburban Glen Ridge, California. The McCulloughs are the owners of the then-present-day descendant of Lassie. Real life spouses Christopher and Dee Wallace-Stone played Chris and Dee McCullough, with Will Estes (credited by his given name of Will Nipper) and Wendy Cox appearing as their young son Will and teenage daughter Megan respectively.

Jon Provost, who starred in the original Lassie series, portrayed Chris' brother Steve McCullough who was revealed in a later episode to be the adult Timmy Martin in an episode guest-starring June Lockhart in a reprisal of her role as Timmy's foster mother Ruth Martin. In the episode titled "Roots", Timmy reveals that he was never officially adopted by the Martins, and thus couldn't go with them to Australia when they moved there (at the beginning of season 11 of the original Lassie series). Subsequently, he was later adopted by the McCullough family, and began going by his middle name of Steven (Steve).

Cast

 * Will Nipper as Will McCullough
 * Christopher Stone as Chris McCullough
 * Dee Wallace-Stone as Dee McCullough
 * Wendy Cox as Megan McCullough
 * Jon Provost as Timmy Martin/Steve McCullough

Guest stars
Guest stars with a Lassie past included Roddy McDowall, who had starred in the first movie Lassie Come Home (1943) and Tommy Rettig, who had played Jeff Miller in the early years of the original television series (later syndicated as Jeff's Collie). Other guest stars included Leonardo DiCaprio and Todd Bridges.

Production notes
The collie featured in The New Lassie was a fifth generation of Lassie. The dog was trained by Robert Weatherwax, the son of Rudd Weatherwax who trained the original Lassie. Robert was assisted by his only son Robert Jr.

Syndication
Reruns of The New Lassie aired on TV Land Canada in 2007.
