Page (Swedish band)

Page are a Swedish synthpop band. Page are often credited with being the first band to bring synthpop music to Sweden. Their music and band members (particularly Eddie Bengtsson) influenced many subsequent Swedish synthpop acts, including Elegant Machinery, S.P.O.C.K, Sista Mannen På Jorden and KieTheVez.

History
Formed in 1980 by Eddie Bengtsson and Marina Schiptjenko, soon joined by Anders Eliasson, the band quickly gained underground cult-status releasing many singles such as Dansande man, Som skjuten ur en kanon, Blå fötter and Som en vind. Though most of their important influential work was released in the 1980s their first album, the self-titled Page, was released in 1991. Page continued releasing music throughout the 90's but is still most fondly remembered in the Swedish synthpop scene for their early singles, especially Dansande Man. Though the band has never officially disbanded, it has been remarkably quiet since a performance at SEMA (Swedish Electronic Music Awards) in 2000 when the band promised nothing new would ever be released under the name Page. However, a compilation covering their two decades of work was released in 2000.

After a decade of silence, in 2010 Page released an album of newly recorded material called Nu, and performed two tracks live on Swedish TV show Nyhetsmorgon in May 2010. The album reached number 34 on the official Swedish album chart, Sverigetopplistan, following its release. Page performed at the ElectriXmas events in Malmö in 2012 and 2012, along with other selected shows. The latter appearance was part of a special performance by participants in the Friends of Electronically Yours album project, which was organised to raise money for charity.

In 2013, Page released Hemma on the Swedish label, Wonderland Records. This led to a headline show in London, England, for the event, An Evening with the Swedish Synth. In 2018, Page returned to London, releasing the Adapted EP for the occasion.

A live recording of Page's performance in Gothenburg, Sweden, in October 2019, was released by the online magazine, Cold War Night Life, as Fakta för alla Göteborg, an 87 minute concert film.

The album En ny våg, which was released in 2023 on both vinyl and on CD in gatefold sleeve, contained 10 newly written songs recorded during 2022 and 2023. This time Page had worked with guest artists such as Chris Payne and R.Russell Bell known from UK groups Dramatis and Tubeway Army.

Harley Rutledge

Harley D. Rutledge (January 10, 1926 – June 5, 2006) was a U.S. physics professor, and ufologist.

Early life and career
In 1966, Rutledge completed his Ph.D. in solid state physics at the University of Missouri. He subsequently took the position of professor and chairman of the physics department at Southeast Missouri State University. He was department chairman from 1964 to 1982 and retired from teaching in 1993.

UFO Research
Challenged to explain sightings of unidentified lights and luminous phenomena in the sky around Piedmont, Missouri, Rutledge decided to subject these reports to scientific analysis. He put together a team of observers with college training in the physical sciences, including a large array of equipment: RF spectrum analyzers, Questar telescopes, low-high frequency audio detectors, electromagnetic frequency analyzer, cameras, and a galvanometer to measure variations in the Earth's gravitational field.

The resulting Project Identification commenced in April 1973, logging several hundred hours of observation time. This was the first UFO scientific field study, able to monitor the phenomena in real-time, enabling Rutledge to calculate the objects' actual speed, course, position, distance, and size.

Observation of the unclouded night sky often revealed "pseudostars" - stationary lights camouflaged by familiar constellations. Some objects appeared to mimic the appearance of known aircraft; others violated the laws of physics. The most startling discovery was that on at least 32 recorded occasions, the movement of the lights synchronized with actions of the observers. They appeared to respond to a light being switched on and off, and to verbal or radio messages. The final results of this project were documented in the 1981 book, Project Identification: The first Scientific Study of UFO Phenomena.

Rutledge died on Monday, June 5, 2006 at the Missouri Veterans Home aged 80.

Dundee West (UK Parliament constituency)

Dundee West is a constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first-past-the-post voting system.

The constituency was created for the 1950 general election, when the two-seat Dundee constituency was split into two single seat constituencies: Dundee East and Dundee West.

Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat will be subject to boundary changes, gaining further parts of the Dundee City council area. As a consequence, it will be renamed Dundee Central, to be first contested at the 2024 general election.

Boundaries
1950–1974: The County of the City of Dundee wards numbers 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, and 9.

1974–1983: The County of the City of Dundee wards of Balgay, Camperdown, Downfield, Law, Lochee, and Riverside. The constituency boundaries remained unchanged.

1983–1997: The City of Dundee District electoral divisions of Ardler/Blackside, Central/Riverside, Downfield/St Mary's, Dudhope/Logie, Gourdie/Pitalpin, Law/Ancrum, Lochee, Menziehill/Ninewells, Rockwell/Fairmuir, and Trottick/Gillburn.

1997–2005: The City of Dundee District electoral divisions of Central, Charleston, Kingsway West, Kirkton, Law, Lochee, Ninewells, Riverside, and St Mary's.

2005–2024: The part of the Dundee City council area other than the Dundee East Burgh Constituency and the Angus Council ward of Sidlaw West.

The constituency is one of two covering the Dundee City council area, the other being Dundee East. Current boundaries were first used in the 2005 general election.

As well as covering a western portion of the city area, the West constituency also includes, to the north and west, part of the Angus council area. Similarly, the east constituency includes, to the north and east, another part of the Angus council area.

Prior to the 2005 election, both constituencies were entirely within the city area, and the north-eastern and north-western areas of the city were within the Angus constituency. Scottish Parliament constituencies retain the older boundaries.

Politics and history of the constituency
Dundee West was held by the Labour Party from the first time it was contested in 1950 until the 2015 general election. Initially it was more marginal than its neighbour Dundee East. Additionally the Labour candidate always polled more than 50% of the votes cast in these contests. However, in 1959 Labour's majority over Conservative candidate was only 714 votes. This majority greatly increased at the 1963 by-election and by 1970, Labour's majority and share of the vote in Dundee West was better than the same figures in Dundee East.

Labour's majority was reduced in 2005 by the SNP candidate Joe Fitzpatrick despite changes to the boundaries which should have favoured Labour; suggesting that the constituency might be becoming more marginal, although the gap widened again in 2010. The current MP is Chris Law, who was the first-ever MP from the Scottish National Party elected for Dundee West; as part of the party's near-clean sweep of the majority of Scottish seats at that year's general election.

Planet of Giants

Planet of Giants is the first serial of the second season in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. Written by Louis Marks and directed by Mervyn Pinfield and Douglas Camfield, the serial was first broadcast on BBC1 in three weekly parts from 31 October to 14 November 1964. In the serial, the First Doctor (William Hartnell), his granddaughter Susan Foreman (Carole Ann Ford), and her teachers Ian Chesterton (William Russell) and Barbara Wright (Jacqueline Hill) are shrunk to the size of an inch after the Doctor's time machine the TARDIS arrives in contemporary England.

The story's concept was first proposed as the first serial of the show's first season, but was rejected due to its technical complexity and lack of character development. When Marks was commissioned to write the script, he was inspired by Rachel Carson's 1962 environmental science book Silent Spring, the first major documentation on human impact on the environment. The story was originally written and filmed as a four-part serial, but later reduced to three parts; the third and fourth episodes were cut down to form a faster-paced climax. The serial premiered with 8.4 million viewers, maintaining audience figures throughout the three weeks. Retrospective response for the serial was mixed, with criticism directed at its story and characterisation despite praise for its ambition. It later received several print adaptations and home media releases.

Plot
Despite indications of a malfunction in the TARDIS, its fault locator shows nothing is wrong and that it is safe to go outside. The First Doctor (William Hartnell), Ian Chesterton (William Russell), Barbara Wright (Jacqueline Hill), and Susan Foreman (Carole Ann Ford) consequently explore the vicinity, finding the remains of giant earthworm and ant, which appear to have died instantaneously. The travellers realise they have returned to Earth but have shrunk to the height of an inch. Ian investigates the interior of a discarded matchbox when it is picked up by a government scientist called Farrow (Frank Crawshaw), who is visiting a callous industrialist named Forester (Alan Tilvern) to tell him that his application for a new insecticide called DN6 has been rejected as it is far too deadly to all forms of insect life. News of this appraisal prompts Forester to fatally shoot Farrow. The Doctor, Barbara, and Susan hear the gunshot and head for the house to find Ian unhurt near Farrow's corpse.

Forester's aide, Smithers (Reginald Barratt), arrives but does not report the murder for fear of undermining the DN6 project to which he has dedicated his life. Ian and Barbara hide inside Farrow's briefcase to avoid being stepped on by Forester and Smithers, and get separated from the Doctor and Susan after the briefcase is brought inside the house. The Doctor and Susan climb up a drain pipe to find them. Forester alters Farrow's report to give support to the DN6 licence application and, disguising his voice as Farrow’s, makes a supportive phone call to the ministry to the same effect. This is overheard by the local telephone operator Hilda Rowse (Rosemary Johnson) and her policeman husband Bert (Fred Ferris), who suspect something is wrong.

Within the house, Ian and Barbara encounter a giant fly, which is killed instantly when it contacts sample seeds that had been sprayed with DN6. Barbara had handled one of these seeds and begins to feel unwell. The Doctor, realising the toxic nature of DN6 and the probable contamination of Barbara, proposes they alert someone by hoisting up the giant telephone receiver, but they cannot make themselves heard. At the telephone exchange, the engaged signal makes Hilda and Bert increasingly concerned. Bert heads off to the house to investigate. The Doctor and his companions decide to attract attention by starting a fire, succeeding in manoeuvring an aerosol can into the flames of the Bunsen burner gas outlet. This coincides with Smithers discovering the true virulence of DN6 and demanding Forester cease his licence application. In the lab, the makeshift bomb explodes in Forester’s face as PC Rowse arrives. Back in the TARDIS, the Doctor succeeds in returning the craft and crew to normal size, a process which cures Barbara of her infection by DN6.

Conception and writing
The concept of the Doctor and his companions shrinking in size was initially proposed as the first story of the show's first season, written by C. E. Webber and entitled The Giants. After some rewrites, the serial was rejected by show creator Sydney Newman in June 1963 due to its technical complexity and lack of character development. The concept of The Giants was given to writer Robert Gould in mid-1963 to develop as the four-part fourth serial of the first season, but it was dropped by January 1964 due to scripting difficulties. By February 1964, the serial was assigned to writer Louis Marks. The main narrative was inspired by Rachel Carson's 1962 environmental science book Silent Spring, the first major documentation on human impact on the environment. The fictional insecticide featured in the story, DN6, was inspired by incidents described by Carson regarding the impact of DDT on insects. Writer Mark Wilson wrote in 2017 that the story aired during a time where environmental awareness was beginning to develop among the British public. Whitaker commissioned Marks for the serial in May 1964, then titled The Planet of Giants. Mervyn Pinfield was assigned to direct the serial.

Filming
The special effect inserts of a cat were filmed on 30 July 1964 using silent 35mm film, with sound added later during a studio recording. The show's regular cast—Hartnell, Russell, Hill, and Ford—filmed the sequences in which they appeared alongside giant props; the effect was achieved by recording the actors through glass and reflecting the object onto a half-silvered mirror. The footage was later deemed unsatisfactory, and the scenes were re-shot on 13 August. Rehearsals for the first episode took place on 17 August at the London Transport Assembly Rooms, across the road from the BBC Television Centre. Weekly recording for the serial began on 21 August at the Television Centre, Studio 4. Due to Pinfield's other commitments, the fourth and final episode was directed by Douglas Camfield, who had worked as a production assistant to Waris Hussein during the show's first season. The final episode was recorded on 11 September.

Post-production
Planet of Giants is the first Doctor Who serial to feature the work of incidental music composer Dudley Simpson, who first recorded on 14 August 1964. On 19 October 1964, head of serials Donald Wilson decided to reduce the four-part serial to three episodes, as it was felt to be an unsatisfactory opening to the show's second season; he preferred to open the season with the following serial, The Dalek Invasion of Earth, but its depiction of Susan's departure prevented the change. The 24-minute third and fourth episodes were transferred to 35 mm film and edited together into a single 25-minute episode from 29 October to 2 November to form a faster-paced climax featuring the main characters. Camfield was credited for the final episode.

Broadcast and ratings
Planet of Giants was considered a strong debut to the second season, receiving 8.4 million viewers for the first two episodes and 8.9 million for the third. An Audience Research Report on the first episode indicated that the show had gained 17% of the viewing audience. The Appreciation Index increased slightly over the three episodes, from 57 to 59. The BBC Film and Videotape Library did not select the serial for preservation, and the original tapes were wiped in the late 1960s. In 1977, 16mm film prints of the serial were discovered at BBC Enterprises.

Critical response
At the BBC Programme Review Board after the broadcast of the first episode in November 1964, the director-general Hugh Greene was unimpressed by the story's concept; following the second episode's broadcast, he noted his disappointment at the serial and eagerness for the Daleks' return. An Audience Research Report on the first episode noted that the response had been positive, with praise directed at the props and special effects.

Retrospective reviews of the serial were mixed. In The Discontinuity Guide (1995), Paul Cornell, Martin Day, and Keith Topping described the serial as "a strange mix of ecological [science fiction] and 'cops and gangsters, finding it "good fun, if a little unrepresentative of the series". In The Television Companion (1998), David J. Howe and Stephen James Walker found difficulty in understanding why the serial was considered so important by the production team, and found the plot to be "one of the weakest" in the series so far; they praised Hill's performance, and enjoyed Hartnell and Russell, though noted that Ford was "rather less impressive". In 2008, Patrick Mulkern of Radio Times wrote that the story had ambition and impressive set design, but felt that "the drama itself is less than enthralling"; Mulkern noted that Barbara "[came] across as uncharacteristically wet" and described Simpson's score as "annoyingly childish". In 2012, DVD Talk's John Sinnott felt that the serial was a "solid installment", but considered it strange that the main characters do not interact with the criminals. Dave Golder of SFX described the serial as "undeniably slow, talky and lacking in excitement", particularly criticising Barbara's characterisation. Christopher Bahn of The A.V. Club appreciated the ambition of the serial but felt that it "never quite gels together" and the condensed final episodes hindered the overall story.

Commercial releases
A novelisation of Planet of Giants, written by Terrance Dicks, was published by Target Books in January 1990. It was the final First Doctor serial to be novelised. Dicks used the original rehearsal script for the first episode and a camera script for the scrapped final episode to restore the missing sequences.

The serial was released on VHS by BBC Video in January 2002; it was the first commercially released story to receive the VidFIRE process. 2 Entertain released the serial on DVD on 20 August 2012, alongside audio commentaries, documentaries, and a recreation of the original third and fourth episodes; the recreation, based on the original scripts, used animation and newly recorded dialogue by Ford and Russell, with John Guilor and Katherine Hadoke as the Doctor and Barbara. The serial was released on Blu-ray on 5 December 2022, alongside the rest of the second season as part of The Collection.

Eastbourne railway station

Eastbourne railway station serves the seaside town of Eastbourne in East Sussex, England. It is on the East Coastway Line. The station is managed by Southern, who operate all trains serving it. It is one of two railway stations in the town, the other being Hampden Park Station. There are also two other stations in the Eastbourne area, one being Pevensey & Westham, in nearby Westham (near Pevensey), the other being Polegate.

Most passenger services along the coast served the station, as they do today. Trains reverse at the station to continue their journey along the East Coastway by using a junction north of Hampden Park railway station; services run either east (to Bexhill, Hastings and Ashford International) or west via Lewes (to Brighton or London Victoria) from the station.

History
The single-track branch line to Eastbourne from Polegate on the Brighton to Hastings line was opened by the London Brighton and South Coast Railway (LB&SCR) on 14 May 1849. As the town became an ever more popular seaside resort two further stations followed: the first in 1866 and the present station, designed by F.D. Brick, in 1886. There was a rarely used triangular junction between Polegate and the now-closed Stone Cross which allowed trains to bypass the Branch; the track for this has now been lifted.

First station
Very little is known about the first railway station, except that it was a timber structure said to be located on Upperton Road, somewhere between the current station and the Royal Mail sorting office, and was in use from 1849. When the station was rebuilt in 1866, the old station building was moved to Wharf Road, where it was converted into a dwelling for railway families. There is no information available about the number of platforms it had.

Present station
In 1872, due to the increase in services serving Eastbourne, which had become a popular resort, the station was relocated a little to the east under the supervision of LB&SCR Chief Engineer Frederick Banister. In 1886 the station was rebuilt to designs by F.D. Brick. The rebuilt structure featured a vaulted canopy and lantern roof, similar to that of Lewes. It originally had four platforms, which increased in length over the years. Between platforms 2 and 3, there were also two run-around loops. However, over time, one of these loops was lost as platforms 1 and 2 were expanded. On 12 April 1977, platform 4 was shortened from a 12-coach to an 8-coach length to accommodate the ring road construction. It was later taken out of use and the track was lifted during the Eastbourne re-signalling in 1991.

Goods station and yards
A goods station and yard were constructed to the north of the current station, on the site of the first station. It was accessed from the mainline. Also to the north was an extensive coal depot, and industrial sidings, including the Crumbles siding. The goods shed still stands today as the Enterprise Shopping Centre, and the former goods yard surrounding it has been converted into a station car park. The site of the former coal sidings that used to be situated northeast of the station is now occupied by a car dealership.

Locomotive depot
The LB&SCR opened a small engine shed in 1849, but it was demolished in 1876, being replaced by a roundhouse in the same year, which was also demolished in 1912. A large, seven-road (seven-track) shed was opened in 1911, but this was badly damaged during the Second World War and was never repaired. Although the shed was closed in 1952, the site was still used as a storage area for locomotives awaiting scrapping until 1965. From 1965 to 1968, diesel locomotives were stored there, before the structure was finally demolished in 1969. Currently, the first engine shed site is occupied by the carriage sidings, while the later shed site is a wasteland.

Signal Box
The current signal box was constructed in 1882 and had an impressive 108 lever frame that controlled the station, goods yard, and carriage sidings. On 14 November 1934, this was replaced with a 72 lever frame. Later in 1991, the box was converted into a power signal box when the semaphore signals were substituted with colour light signals and an "entrance-exit" control system was installed. The box closed in 2015 as the line between Lewes and Bexhill was re-signaled and controlled from a new signalling centre at Three Bridges.

Listed status
Eastbourne station was listed at Grade II on 3 July 1981.

Accidents
On 25 August 1958, a Glasgow to Eastbourne sleeper train collided with an Ore to London Bridge service killing 5, leaving 22 with serious injuries and 18 with minor.

Operating company
Since 2001, all train services have been operated by Southern, formerly South Central.

Former privatised operators

 * Connex South Central
 * Virgin CrossCountry

Former long-distance services
Until the late 1960s, long-distance through trains ran from Eastbourne via Brighton to: An overnight train also ran from Glasgow Central.
 * Birkenhead Woodside via Redhill, Reading, Oxford, Birmingham Snow Hill and Shrewsbury
 * Sheffield Victoria via Rugby Central, Loughborough Central and Nottingham Victoria
 * Walsall via Birmingham New Street and Coventry.

Long-distance services again ran between 1988 and 1996, branded InterCity Holidaymaker. Between 1996 and 1997, Virgin CrossCountry ran a Saturday-only service to Glasgow Central in the morning and Manchester Piccadilly in the afternoon.

Former local services
Until 14 June 1965, a local service from Eastbourne ran via the Cuckoo Line to Tunbridge Wells West and later to Tonbridge. Between 15 June 1965 and 9 September 1968 a shuttle service ran to Hailsham.

Services
The typical off-peak service in trains per hour from the station is:
 * 2tph to London Victoria via Gatwick Airport
 * 2tph to Brighton via Lewes
 * 3tph to Ore via Hastings, of which 1 continues to Ashford International

On Sunday the typical service is:

 * 1tph to London Victoria via Gatwick Airport
 * 1tph to Brighton via Lewes
 * 2tph to Ore via Hastings, of which 1 continues to Ashford International

Facilities

 * Ticket office
 * Automatic ticket barriers
 * Car park (100+ spaces)
 * Pick up & drop off zone
 * Toilets
 * Telephones
 * Cash machines
 * Shops & cafes, including: a Subway, a WHSmith, a barber's, a florist and a coffee shop
 * Taxi rank
 * Bus stop (Eastbourne's main bus terminus is a 2-minute walk from the station)
 * National Express coach stop
 * Sheltered seating around the whole station
 * Passenger lounge
 * Bicycle storage

Future plans
Since 2014, there have been calls for reinstatement of the Willingdon Chord, some 3 mi north of the station. This would allow trains on the East Coastway line to bypass Eastbourne, saving time on journeys to Hastings and Ashford International.

The halt was situated between Polegate and Hastings. The station closed on 7 July 1935. There was a petition raised by the Liberal Democrats to reopen the station as Langney station, but the campaign was called off.

However, these plans look to have been revived and Eastbourne council leader David Tutt said, “One issue that I am pressing for as part of this work is the inclusion of a new station at Stone Cross.”

He (letter)

He is the fifth letter of the Semitic abjads, including Phoenician hē 𐤄, Hebrew hē ה, Aramaic hē 𐡄, Syriac hē ܗ, and Arabic hāʾ ه. Its sound value is the voiceless glottal fricative.

The proto-Canaanite letter gave rise to the Greek Epsilon Ε ε, Etruscan  𐌄, Latin E, Ë and Ɛ, and  Cyrillic Е, Ё, Є, Э, and Ҩ. He, like all Phoenician letters, represented a consonant, but the Latin, Greek and Cyrillic equivalents have all come to represent vowel sounds.

Origins
In Proto-Northwest Semitic there were still three voiceless fricatives: uvular ḫ, glottal h , and pharyngeal ḥ. In the Wadi el-Hol script, these appear to be expressed by derivatives of the following Egyptian hieroglyphs ḫayt "thread", hillul "jubilation", compare South Arabian h,  ḥ,  ḫ, Ge'ez ሀ, ሐ , ኀ , and   ḥasir "court". In the Phoenician alphabet, ḫayt and ḥasir are merged into Heth "fence", while hillul is replaced by He "window".

Arabic hāʾ
The letter is named hāʾ. It is written in several ways depending on its position in the word:

Hāʾ is used as a suffix (with the harakat dictated by ʾIʿrab) indicating possession, indicating that the noun marked with the suffix belongs to a specific masculine possessor; for example, كِتَاب kitāb ("book") becomes كِتَابُهُ kitābuhu ('his book') with the addition of final hāʾ; the possessor is implied in the suffix. A longer example, هُوَ يَقْرَأُ كِتَابَهُ, (huwa yaqraʼu kitābahu, "he reads his book") more clearly indicates the possessor. Hāʾ is also used as the Arabic abbreviation for dates following the Islamic era AH. The medial form of hāʾ resembles either the number 8 or the wings of a butterfly. The letter hāʾ, especially its isolated form is informally written as the initial form of the letter itself.

The hāʾ suffix appended to a verb represents a masculine object (e.g. يَقْرَأُهُ, yaqraʾuhu, 'he reads it').

The feminine form of this construction is in both cases ـهَا -hā.

In Nastaʿlīq the letter has a variant, gol he, with its own particular shapes. As Urdu and other languages of Pakistan are usually written in Nastaʿlīq, they normally employ this variant, which is given an independent code point (U+06C1) for compatibility:

For aspiration and breathy voice Urdu and other languages of Pakistan use the medial (in Nastaliq script) or initial (in Naskh script) form of hāʾ, called in Urdu do cashmī he ('two-eyed he'):

Several Turkic languages of Central Asia like Uyghur as well as Kurdish also use this letter for fricative //.

Arabic ae
Many Turkic languages of Central Asia like Uyghur as well as Kurdish use the modification of the letter for front vowels // or //. This has its own code point (U+06D5). To distinguish it from Arabic hāʾ /h/ the letter lacks its initial and medial forms:

By contrast, the letter used for /h/, appearing in loanwords, uses only the initial and medial forms of the Arabic hāʾ, even in isolated and final positions. In Unicode, is used for this purpose.

Example words in Uyghur include شاھ (shah), a loanword from Persian, and سۈلھ (sülh), a loanword from Arabic.

Hebrew heh
Hebrew spelling:

Pronunciation
In modern Hebrew, the letter represents a voiceless glottal fricative, and may also be dropped, although this pronunciation is seen as substandard.

Also, in many variant Hebrew pronunciations the letter may represent a glottal stop. In word-final position, Hei is often used to indicate an a-vowel, usually that of qamatz, and in this sense functions like Aleph, Vav, and Yud as a mater lectionis, indicating the presence of a long vowel. However, it may also be used to indicate the sounds /e/ or /o/, as in (/ose/, 'makes') or  (/po/, 'here').

Hei, along with Aleph, Ayin, Reish, and Khet, cannot receive a dagesh. Nonetheless, it does receive a marking identical to the dagesh, to form Hei-mappiq. Although indistinguishable for most modern speakers or readers of Hebrew, the mapiq is placed in a word-final Hei to indicate that the letter is not merely a mater lectionis but the consonant should be aspirated in that position. It is generally used in Hebrew to indicate the third-person feminine singular genitive marker. Today, such a pronunciation only occurs in religious contexts and even then often only by careful readers of the scriptures.

Significance of He
In gematria, He symbolizes the number five, and when used at the beginning of Hebrew years, it means 5000 (i.e. התשנ״ד in numbers would be the date 5754).

Attached to words, He may have three possible meanings:
 * A preposition meaning the definite article "the", or the relative pronouns 'that', or 'who' (as in 'a boy who reads'). For example, yeled, 'a boy'; hayeled, 'the boy'.
 * A prefix indicating that the sentence is a question. (For example, yadata, 'You knew'; Hayadata?, 'Did you know?')
 * A suffix after place names indicating movement towards the given noun. (For example, Yerushalayim, 'Jerusalem'; Yerushalaymah, 'towards Jerusalem'.)

In modern Hebrew the frequency of the usage of hei, out of all the letters, is 8.18%.

He, representing five in gematria, is often found on amulets, symbolizing the five fingers of a hand, a very common talismanic symbol.

In Judaism
He is often used to represent the name of God as an abbreviation for Hashem, which means The Name and is a way of saying God without actually saying the name of God (YHWH). In print, Hashem is usually written as Hei with a geresh:.

Syriac heh

In the Syriac alphabet, the fifth letter is ܗ — Heh (ܗܹܐ). It is pronounced as an [ h ]. At the end of a word with a point above it, it represents the third-person feminine singular suffix. Without the point, it stands for the masculine equivalent. Standing alone with a horizontal line above it, it is the abbreviation for either hānoh (ܗܵܢܘܿ), meaning 'this is' or 'that is', or halelûya (ܗܵܠܹܠܘܼܝܵܐ). As a numeral, He represents the number five.

Talk:Operation Rentier

First comment
Are you sure that the operation is called Renntier with double n? The german word for Reindeer is written wiht one n: Rentier. (comment added by 141.20.54.123)

 * You are probably correct, since I just copied the name from a finnish book and most likely made a typo. But google does give hits for "Operation Renntier" and some of them are not Wikipedia clones. (Operation Rentier get zero hits) -- Jniemenmaa 12:25, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * I doubted this spelling, too, but I found out that "Renntier" is an ancient spelling of Rentier. So, the name of the operation may (probably) really have had the double n. --Kräuter-Oliven 20:01, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

I've re-jigged the wording in this, to make it flow better. I hope it meets with approval. Xyl 54 (talk) 17:36, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

James Foster (ironmaster)

James Foster (9 May 1786 – 12 April 1853) was a prominent Worcestershire ironmaster, coalmaster and senior partner in the important iron company of John Bradley & Co, Stourbridge, which was founded by his elder half-brother but greatly enlarged under his direction. As well as the Stourbridge ironworks, the business owned a number of coal and ironstone mines, furnaces, forges and other works in the Black Country and near Ironbridge. The business continued long after James Foster's death, ultimately being incorporated as John Bradley (Stourbridge) Ltd in the early 20th century. In the late 19th century, the company was a member of the Marked Bar Association, whose members were the makers of the highest quality bar iron of the time. Foster was also a partner in other companies including the engineering firm Foster, Rastrick and Company, which built the first steam locomotive to run on rails in the USA. He was also a banker and landowner as well as being elected Member of Parliament and appointed as Improvement Commissioner for Stourbridge, and High Sheriff of Worcestershire.

Biography
James Foster was the son of Henry and Mary Foster (née Haden). He was born on 9 May 1786 and baptised on 11 May 1786. The family house, which still exists, was in an area of Stourbridge then called Digbeth, now numbered 7 and 8 Lower High Street. Mary's first husband, Gabriel Bradley from Stourbridge, had left her his iron business on his death in 1771. John Bradley, Mary's son by her first husband, founded the company John Bradley & Co., in 1800 taking a lease on land near the canal at Stourbridge with the aim of developing an ironworks. The deed of partnership for the company was drawn up in 1802 which granted a share in the company to Bradley's six half-brothers and sisters (which included James Foster). By 1813 only John Bradley and James Foster had shares in the company and on Bradley's death in 1816, James Foster took control of the enterprise, which included the Stourbridge Iron Works.

In 1818, Foster leased mines at Wombridge, Shropshire with an agreement to build blast furnaces there within 18 months.

Foster formed a subsidiary partnership with John Urpeth Rastrick in Stourbridge which traded as Foster, Rastrick and Company. The company was in existence from 1819 to 1831, and at the leading edge of iron technology; producing a wide range of products such as blast furnaces and rolling mill equipment, sugar mills for export to the West Indies, iron 'bearers' (beams) for important buildings of the age, wrought iron rails, and four early steam locomotives.

Of these 'The Agenoria' worked on the Kingswinford Railway, near Stourbridge and is now in the National Railway Museum, York. The other three were ordered by the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company and exported to the United States. The 'Stourbridge Lion' became the first steam locomotive to run on a commercial railway at Honesdale, Pennsylvania. Unfortunately it proved too heavy for the wooden track and after a few trial runs was removed. A few components remain in the Smithsonian Museum, Washington D.C.

The 'New Foundry' built in 1821, with a magnificent iron roof structure spanning 150 x 50 ft, produced components for the company and continued working as a foundry until early in the 21st century. For many years standing semi-derelict, the building has now been intelligently restored and is in use again as a medical centre for Stourbridge people.

Foster formed a partnership with Thomas Jukes Collier (Thomas Jukes Collier & Co), which carried out mining in the Hadley area from around 1820.

On 20 February 1821, Foster obtained a patent for "certain improvements in the manufacture of wrought malleable iron".

In 1820s, Foster entered into a partnership with George Jones and John Barker, both of Wolverhampton, to construct the Chillington Ironworks. The three partners patented an improved method of producing malleable iron in 1832. They invented a method of conveying the molten iron produced in a blast furnace into the puddling furnace without the intermediate stage of producing solid pig iron.

Foster's first entry into politics was in 1825 when he was appointed an Improvement Commissioner for the town of Stourbridge. He lobbied for a new Improvement Act, passed in 1825, which enabled the Commissioners to construct a market hall for the town. James Foster later became a member of parliament, as a Whig, for Bridgnorth (1831–1832), although he rarely took part in debates. He served as High Sheriff of Worcestershire in 1840. In 1828, Foster acquired the Madeley Court estate. Here he commenced mining operations, sinking 17 pits in total. Later (in 1843), Foster had blast furnaces constructed nearby. In 1833, Foster acquired a lease of Stourton Castle for £10,000. He subsequently modernised and added to the building, employing the architect Sir Robert Smirke to provide the designs.

In 1834 Foster met with a number of industrialists to found the Stourbridge and Kidderminster Banking Co. James Foster became the chairman of the bank, an office he held until 1850. The first branch of the bank was sited at Park House just off Stourbridge High Street, which had been Foster's previous home.

In 1844, James Foster was listed as being on the Committee of Management of the company that proposed to build the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton Railway.

In 1865, Foster partnered with Canadian industrialist Hugh Ryan and contractor Alphonse Brooks as subcontractors on the Pictou branch of the Nova Scotia Railway.

A brief profile of Foster in Griffiths' Guide to the Iron Trade of Great Britain, describes him as: "a most able and far seeing man, divested entirely of consequential airs and assumed superiority, endowed in a very remarkable degree with common sense; being afflicted with deafness, his manner sometimes appeared brusque, owing to his prompt and decisive answers. He was a decided Liberal in politics, and a truly good, kind-hearted gentleman".

After his death, aged 66, which occurred on 12 April 1853, it was reported that one thousand of his workers paraded after the funeral cortege. He was interred in the family vault at St Mary's, Oldswinford.

He was unmarried, and his iron business and estates were inherited by his nephew, William Orme Foster. His portrait was famously painted by Henry Spurrier Parkman (1814-1864).

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was keep. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 02:21, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

Anglo-Saxon Attitudes
Delete. I'm putting this article up for a vote for deletion after finding it in the articles to be cleaned up section. On the talk page a few people have commented on the ambiguity and POV nature of the article and I simply have no idea what to do with it. The article talks about two authors who already have seperate articles written about them. If you take away those two sections of the article, then there really isn't much substance left to the article at all. It's such an obscure and non-notable subject that I feel it would be best to delete it. I don't see any hope of a merger or cleanup. --Randolph 14:44, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep — RJH 16:24, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. A an encyclopedic article for a known expression. Why would one want to remove "those two sections" that explain the history of the term? In this way one can decimate almost every article. Encyclopedia is not a bunch of 100% separated topics. Things tend to be interrelated and overlapped in real life. Mikkalai 18:07, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, it's not POV to document a POV expression, compare gringo and WASP. Kappa 19:49, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * if you keep it, move it to the correct title. Gdr 22:14, 2005 Apr 22 (UTC)
 * Keep WLD 22:41, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Perfectly decent article. I'll bet most people who encountered the phrase in Through the Looking-Glass were puzzled by the expression. An explanation of the background is worthwhile. Dpbsmith (talk) 00:36, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Much less obscure to those of us who read and write than articles about video game characters. alteripse 03:09, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep but rename to correct capitalisation. Radiant_* 10:29, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Nice little article. Capitalistroadster 03:30, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - this is not a common theme for discussion, does not convince me that the Alice reference is related to a broader discourse, and is incredibly poorly composed.XmarkX 09:08, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * It's also the title of a very well-known novel which has been continuously in print since 1956. It seems to have become a sort of catch-phrase like blue-plate special, used as a vaguely witty headline for all sorts of things. Google shows it to be the title of an academic conference, a title for a themed issue of an online journal of medieval northwestern Europe, etc. A search for the phrase "Anglo-Saxon attitudes" in a www.a9.com search limited to books shows many uses in the sense mentioned by the article. For example, Christopher Hitchens writes in a 1995 book, "But, like the migration of Shakespearean birds, Anglo-Saxon attitudes are able in the United States, in some sense, to cut with the grain." The main thing that this indeed-incredibly-poorly-composed article fails to do is to give any uses of the phrase contemporary with Lewis Carroll; that is, I still don't know what Carroll was riffing on. I do get the impression that most modern usage of the phrase is either a direct reference to Wilson's novel, a direct reference to Through the Looking-Glass, or a mere flippant use as a catch-phrase.  Dpbsmith (talk) 12:34, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Needs more background information, though. --Dcfleck 11:45, 2005 Apr 27 (UTC)
 * Keep - I just re-read Through the Looking Glass. humblefool® 02:05, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and, like some other VfD subpages, is no longer 'live'. Subsequent comments on the issue, the deletion, or the decision-making process should be placed on the relevant 'live' pages. Please do not edit this page.

Arabic parts

In astrology, the Arabian/Arabic parts or lots are constructed points based on mathematical calculations of three horoscopic entities such as planets or angles. The distance between two of the points is added to the position of the third (very often the ascendant) to derive the location of the lot.

History
The lots are a very ancient astrological technique which can be traced back to pre-Hellenistic sources. Their origin is obscure; they could originally be Babylonian, Ancient Egyptian, Magian, Persian or Hermetic, but by the time of Dorotheus of Sidon in the first century A.D. (and probably earlier) they had become an established tenet of Hellenistic astrological practice.

One of the best informational sources for the lots is the Introduction to astrology by fourth-century astrologer Paulus Alexandrinus and the Commentary on this work by sixth-century philosopher Olympiodorus the Younger. Paulus used a dozen or so major lots for almost every aspect of his analysis. The most important of these were the Lot of Fortune (or Part of Fortune) and its complement, the Lot of Spirit.

After the fall of the Roman Empire, all of the classical legacy, including astrology, fell to the Abbasid Arabs and Persians. Arab astrologers translated sources from Greek and produced many of their own astrologers who wrote a considerable amount in Arabic on astrology. Although it is not clear whether the number of lots began to proliferate in late Antiquity or whether it was purely the product of the fascination the Arabs had for them, Arabic manuscripts show an explosion in the number of lots that were used over the next several centuries. The inordinate increase is noted by the Arab commentators themselves. In The Abbreviation of the Introduction to Astrology, Persian astrologer Abu Ma'shar al-Balkhi (787-886) describes no less than 55 lots, although it's clear that these are only the ones he considers significant. This count does not even include all of the lots of Paulus.

Beginning in the tenth century, many Arabic manuscripts were translated into Latin, becoming the means by which Classical astrology found its way back to Europe. Medieval astrologers, most notably the major 13th-century Italian, Guido Bonatti, a contemporary of Dante, assumed it was the Arabs who originated the concept of the lots, and hence they came eventually to be called the "Arabic parts".

By the time of William Lilly (XVII century), only the Lot of Fortune continued to be used by astrologers, although in a manner that would be considered strange by ancient practitioners. Lilly's methods with what he called "Fortuna" have continued in modern astrology, although rarely used and usually misunderstood. The Lot of Fortune mainly appears today in horary practice.

Calculating the Lot of Fortune
Lilly's Part of Fortune (or Pars Fortunae) is calculated as Ascendant + Moon - Sun. That is, the degrees of distance (going in the direction of the signs) between the Sun and the Moon is calculated and then that same distance is measured from the point of the ascendant.

The same procedure was used by the Arabs and by Hellenistic astrologers to calculate the Lot of Fortune but there were two major differences:

 * The location of the lot varied considerably in charts where the Sun was above the horizon (that is, a daytime chart, or one of diurnal sect) or below the horizon (a nighttime chart, or one of nocturnal sect). The day charts follow Lilly's procedure; nighttime charts reverse the direction in which the measurement is taken between the Sun and Moon, so that the astrologer measures from the Moon to the Sun (again, going in the direction of the signs) to get this arc. As with day charts, the arc is then measured from the ascendant to get the lot. The two formulas are, therefore:
 * Day chart: Ascendant + Moon - Sun
 * Night chart: Ascendant - Moon + Sun
 * Interpretatively, the Lot of Fortune was used to represent the body, fortune, and health. It was also used in place of the ascendant thereby changing the house numbering, to find out more about these factors. Lilly and his contemporaries used the Lot of Fortune as a simple indicator of material well-being and, in horary charts, a marker of success.

The symbol for the Lot of Fortune is (U+1F774 🝴).

The Lot of Spirit
If the Lot of Fortune deals with material well-being, the body, fortune and health, the Lot of Spirit represents the initiative taken by that person, or what use is made of what is given.

The Lot of Spirit is the reverse of the Lot of Fortune, giving the following formulas:
 * Day chart: Ascendant - Moon + Sun
 * Night chart: Ascendant + Moon - Sun

The Hermetic lots
The Hermetic lots are a specific set of seven lots, each associated with one of the seven visible planets (including the Sun and Moon), that were attributed to the figure Hermes Trismegistus in the Hellenistic tradition of astrology. This set of lots appears in the work of the 4th century astrologer Paulus Alexandrinus, as well as in his later commentator Olympiodorus the Younger. The formulas for the lots can be found in Paulus (see reference below).

The formulas for the Hermetic lots later made their way into the Medieval astrological tradition where they appear in authors such as Abu Ma'shar al-Balkhi and Guido Bonatti, although their lists have been combined with an alternate lot tradition derived from the 2nd century astrologer Vettius Valens.

Any chance I can convince you to take a closer look. I agree that the "style wars" were somewhat rancerous on all sides (including mine). But that was 9+ months ago, and prior to 95% of my edit history. I believe if you take an open minded look at the last, say, 90% of my edit history, you would find me an excellend administrator candidate (if nothing else, most admins seem to be promoted with far less total history than the 8 months I believe you would find me problem-free for; and with far fewer edits than I've made in those 8 months).

Milošević
Milošević was elected as the President of the Serbian League of Communists in 1986, not 1984, at the request of Stambolić, who took the Presidency of Serbia. It was at this time that the Serbian Academy of Sciences delivered a memorandum, based on the need to protect Kosovan-Serbs from Albanian domination in Kosovo. Stambolić lambasted this as leading to 'the obitary of Yugoslavia' to which Milošević took the same line. Milošević's rise to power is notable as he entered the Presidency of the Serbian League of Communists in 1986 and by 1989 he had ousted Stambolić, and under the guise of nationalism furthered his popularity amongst not only homegrown Serbs, but Croat-Serbs, Bosnian-Serbs and Kosovan-Serbs.

Festival (Church of England)
Hi. I started the Festival (Church of England) article, and I noticed that you've edited it slightly. I was wondering what the "original" you mentioned in one of your edits refers to. You said that you tweaked the presentation to "conform with the original". Which original? I took the names of the Festivals from Common Worship (e.g. "Barnabas, Apostle"), but it's true that in The Lectionary they're written slightly differently (e.g. "Barnabas the Apostle"). Is The Lectionary the original you were referring to?

Also, I listed Christmas Eve and certain other days (which you removed) as Festivals because they appear in The Lectionary in small bold capitals, the style reserved for Festivals. On what basis did you decide that they are not Festivals?

In addition, I can't remember where I read that Sundays are treated as Festivals (probably in A Companion to Common Worship), and I'm in Japan now so I can't check, but the font style (small bold capitals) supports that statement. I'm not saying that they are Festivals (The Lectionary consistently talks about, for example, "Principal Feasts, Principal Holy Days, Sundays and Festivals"), but only that they are treated as such. I'm not entirely sure what "treating something as a Festival" means, but I think I read it in A Companion and thought I ought to add it to this page. Would you mind explaining the basis for your disagreement?

Thanks for your interest in my article. DTOx 16:03, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I don't have a great library of liturgical materials, unfortunately, and most of the little I do have isn't with me at the moment, so I can't check on my sources and I'll leave your edits as they are. The lectionary I referred to is indeed published by SPCK, and on the front of it is written The Lectionary - 2006 - According to the Common Worship Calendar and Lectionary authorized for use in the Church of England (Year B) - According to the Book of Common Prayer and Lectionary for Holy Communion and Schedule of Variations (BCP) - CW & BCP - 27 November 2005 – 31 December 2006. I don't know if this book itself has been authorized by Synod (probably not), but it seems to simply be an amalgamation of sources that have been. For each day, for example, it gives you the liturgical colour, the name of the day (if applicable), the "Sunday Principal Service" or "Weekday Eucharist" readings, the "Third Service" or "Morning Prayer" readings, the "Second Service" or "Evening Prayer" readings, the BCP name of the day (if applicable) and the "Holy Communion" readings, the BCP "Morning Prayer" readings, and the BCP "Evening Prayer" readings. On the back, it seems to list all its sources:
 * The Revised Common Lectionary is copyright (c) The Consultation on Common Texts 1992 and is reproduced with permission. The Church of England's adapted form of The Revised Common Lectionary, published as the Principal Service Lectionary in The Christian Year: Calendar, Lectionary and Collects, and the Second and Third Service Lectionaries and the Common Worship Calendar, also published in the same publication, are copyright (c) The Central Board of Finance of the Church of England, 1995, 1997; The Archbishops' Council, 1999. The Lectionary and Additional Collects for Holy Communion (Book of Common Prayer) and Schedule of Variations to the Common Worship Second and Third Service Lectionaries when the Book of Common Prayer Eucharistic Lectionary is used as the Principal Service Lectionary is copyright (c) The Archbishops' Council, 2001; the Daily Eucharistic Lectionary derives, with adaptations, from the Ordo Lectionum Missae of the Roman Catholic Church. Material from these works is reproduced with permission.
 * So the readings at least are fully authoritative, but I suppose that doesn't necessarily mean that its choice of typeface for certain days ought to be taken too much into consideration. Anyway, I'm off to an organ recital in Kyoto Cathedral. Feel free to send me a message back if you have anything more to say on this topic. DTOx 03:54, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Common Worship
I see that you have encoutnereed Commonworship. some of your alterations have taken the article a little further away from accuracy. Do you think you could consider communicating before altering? Some of your changes, not least that which refers to Order 2, might be a little difficult to justify. Some discussion might help. Roger Arguile 22:48, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Victoria Cross
As you will see from the page history of the VC, i have reverted you changes to the Lead. Yes, the GC is of equal rank as the VC, and this is explained and referenced later on. For the purposes of Post-nominals though, the VC is of higher rank and that was the sentence that you changed. I hope this clears it up for you and explains my reasoning beyond the edit summary. Leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions. Woodym555 22:36, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Thankyou for taking my note in the spirit in which it was intended. I think yours is a good suggestion. I suggest a few amendments: The Victoria Cross (VC) is a military decoration awarded for valour "in the face of the enemy" to members of armed forces of some Commonwealth countries and previous British Empire territories. It takes precedence over all other postnominals and medals. It may be awarded to a person of any rank in any service and civilians under military command, and is presented to the recipient by the British monarch during an investiture held at Buckingham Palace. It is the joint highest award for bravery in the United Kingdom with the George Cross, which is the equivalent honour for valour not in the face of the enemy.
 * I have separated the postnominals sentence into separate sentences as they are unrelated. (One does not follow logically in the same sentence as the other.) I have also expanded the George Cross statement for uniniated readers. The WP:LEAD is meant to be a summary of the whole article after all ;) Any qualms with this version? Woodym555 23:32, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Great, i have added in the amended version now. Much better, it was a good catch! I can see now how there was a slight ambiguity to that sentence. Happy editing! Woodym555 23:57, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Assumption of Mary

Evidence
After some contemplation I removed/commented out the statement According to the Irish historian Eamon Duffy there is no historical evidence whatever for the assumption - this seems be just ridiculous, what evidence could one expect to find here? The passage "history" does just as well without this claim and namedropping.--Medusahead (talk) 10:59, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Someone writing "Hey, what happened to Jesus' mother? She just vanished." Editor2020 (talk) 03:22, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * The evidence would be either (a) mentions in the text of the New Testament, or (b) tradition. Epiphanius made an investigation in the 4th century and found neither. Achar Sva (talk) 04:25, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Achar Sva, I remember you that you delete the following:

 * However Epiphanius highlights that "If I should say anything more in her praise, [she is] like Elijah, who was virgin from his mother’s womb, always remained so, and was taken up and has not seen death".

 * You are very good at eliminating what does not suit you. The article must be neutral.Rafaelosornio (talk) 04:42, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Let you see the WP article Rapture. It affirms something of similari of the Assumption of Mary body and soul into Heaven, without death, but for the whole Church. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.18.245.162 (talk) 20:41, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

Closer to sources?
The book says the following: "he can find no authorized tradition about how the Virgin’s life ended" (page 11) and you say that it is closer to sources the following: "wrote of his search for reliable traditions concerning the fate of Mary and his inability to discover any."

Do you think you can make the article and modify it to your liking by altering the sources without anyone noticing? --Rafaelosornio (talk) 15:10, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Rafaelosornio, you changed the source of the statement from page 18 to page 11, and then complain you can't find it mentioned there? Your edits are disruptive and apparently dishonest, please stop or I will report you. Achar Sva (talk) 20:42, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

 * It depends if it is hardcover version or not, or if it is an epub version. Finally, I can find it on the hardcover page 11. You always accommodate what the sources say to your liking, placing something that the sources themselves do not say. Stop altering or tampering with the sources or I will report you.--Rafaelosornio (talk) 00:42, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Rafael, I think I've mentioned to you that your grasp of English is poor. Take what you've written just now: "Finally, I can find it on the hardcover..." That's incorrect - I can guess that you mean something like "after looking I have found it in the hardcover (edition)," but what you wrote is bad English. Or this: "You always accommodate what the sources say to your liking, placing something that the sources themselves do not say." Again I can guess what you mean, but it's bad English. My point is, I often have to correct your edits so that can be used in English Wiki. You don't realise this and seem to think that I'm somehow altering the article. Please be a little more humble about your abilities in English. Achar Sva (talk) 09:13, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

 * This is not the first time, that you have criticized Rafaelosornio's English when you don't like what he says. Stop with the ad personam attacks. His English is just fine; it's your editing that is the persistent problem. Manannan67 (talk) 19:27, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Oversight in Assumption of Mary
In the Wikipedia article "Assumption of Mary", there appears to me a undoubtedly involuntary misstatement of Catholic doctrine. It says: "Traditions relating to the Assumption: The Catholic Church has two different traditions concerning the assumption/dormition of Mary: in the first, she rose from the dead after a brief period and then ascended into heaven; in the second, she was 'assumed' bodily into heaven before she died." Now it is certainly not true that any tradition exists that Mary ASCENDED into Heaven. Only Jesus has done that. And the second tradition (of her Assumption) does not exclusively refer to having occurred BEFORE she died, as the same article makes clear later on. Please investigate and correct if appropriate. Considero (talk) 02:05, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

 * You're right, she did not ascend but was assumed. Thank you.Rafaelosornio (talk) 01:24, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

Kilmuckridge

Kilmuckridge, formerly Ford or The Ford, is a village in County Wexford in Ireland, near the Irish Sea coast. As of the 2016 census, the village had a population of 722 people, having more than tripled in size (from 235) in the 20 years since the 1996 census. It is known for the nearby beach at Morriscastle.

History
The village is in the civil parish of Kilmuckridge and in the Catholic parish of Litter (from the Irish language Leitir, meaning a hillside). On older maps, the village is sometimes referred to by its older name of Ford, or The Ford. The name Kilmuckridge originally referred to a small road junction about 1.5 km from the main village and site of the Church of Ireland church. This junction was previously the location of the village post office and it is said that when the post office was moved to The Ford, the latter placename gradually declined in use.

Nearby Morriscastle was once the site of a castle belonging to a prominent Gaelic family. By the 19th century, this castle was in ruins, and it was demolished in 1936. It was succeeded by a later castle, owned by the Annesley family, the ruins of which can be seen to the south of the roadway. Wells House has a history dating back to the 1600s.

The local Roman Catholic church was built in 1796. The Church of Ireland church dates from 1815. The graveyard next to the Church of Ireland church also contains the remains of members of the Catholic Church, with a "sailor's hole" for the bodies of sailors washed ashore. The village also has a historic graveyard at Killincooley with a holy well.

Several Kilmuckridge people played a part in the Irish Rebellion of 1798, including John Murphy of nearby Boolavogue. Local participants were said to have rendezvoused at a local site known as Hatter's Bridge before proceeding to battle at the Battle of Oulart Hill.

There are no listed shipwrecks off Morriscastle but several have occurred in the general area, including the clipper ship Pomona, which ran aground off Ballyconigar in 1859 while en route from Liverpool to New York and sank with the loss of nearly four hundred people, mostly poor Irish people. Additionally, a 61-ton coal boat named the Lavinia was wrecked at Tinnaberna in 1915.

On 14 November 1815, twenty-four local fishermen were lost in a storm, having sailed from Tinnaberna. The disaster is said to have left nineteen widows and had a long-term impact on the population of the small settlement at Tinnaberna. The disaster was largely forgotten, commemorated mainly in a local ballad, but was revived due following the unveiling of a memorial plaque on the two-hundredth anniversary in 2015. Another local ballad commemorates the 1885 rescue of a sailing ship, the Vivandiere, which had been abandoned by her crew and set adrift. The ship was boarded near Tinnaberna by local men, who later profited from its salvage.

The Tithe Applotment Books contain data for the parish of Kilmuckridge in 1833. Griffith's Valuation was completed for County Wexford in 1854, and data for Kilmuckridge can be found here. The 1901 census also holds details of households in the Kilmuckridge area in the District Electoral Division of Ballyvaldon.

A number of local men were involved in the Irish republican movement, including Laurence 'Lar' Redmond and Jim O'Brien, both of the Morriscastle area, who served in the Irish Republican Brotherhood. Redmond claimed to be a descendant of John Murphy (of the 1798 Rebellion) and was active in Enniscorthy in the 1916 Rising. He was elected as a councillor in the district of Gorey. On 14 August 1920, he was part of a company of men that set fire to the Royal Irish Constabulary barracks on the road to Morriscastle. Redmond and his colleagues also set fire to the coast guard station at Morriscastle in July 1921. Jim O'Brien was shot dead by members of the Royal Irish Constabulary in Rathdrum, County Wicklow, on 12 February 1920, during the Irish War of Independence. At the time, he was an IRA commandant and the officer commanding the East Wicklow Brigade. A plaque in Market Square, Rathdrum, commemorates the shooting. In April 2016, a memorial stone was unveiled to commemorate local participants in the 1916 Rising.

The lives of Redmond, O'Brien and their colleagues contrast with another local man of the same era, Tom Ryan (1873-1958), who joined the British Army as a teenager and saw active service in South Africa, France and Palestine. He rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel and later joined the army of the Irish Free State. He remained prominent in Wexford life and his love of his childhood home is evident in his poetry. As one local historian described: "Tom Ryan, like all poets and literary persons lived imaginatively, in a parallel universe that both represented and re-ordered his life experience: the homely places, the touching scenes and drama of his childhood memories of Tinnaberna."

During World War 2, the area saw three plane crashes. On 29 September 1940, an RAF Hawker Hurricane crash-landed in the townland of Ballyvadden, having taken part in an aerial skirmish off the coast. The aircraft was one of eight sent from Pembrey, Wales to intercept a group of German bombers heading for Liverpool. The RAF pilot was unhurt in the crash and was interned at The Curragh before escaping back to Britain and subsequently being killed the following year. His Canadian-built aircraft was repaired, bought by the Irish Air Corps and flown until 1946. Of the German aircraft downed in the skirmish, the body of a German airman washed ashore near Kilmuckridge and was initially buried in the sailor's hole at the old graveyard, before later reinterment elsewhere. In May 1941, a German Heinkel He 111 bomber crashed in the sea and sank near the Blackwater lightship, with two recorded fatalities. Two survivors came ashore in a liferaft and were treated hospitably by a local priest before their internment at The Curragh. In 1945, an American Martin Marauder aircraft crashed at Killenagh, with no fatalities.

Tourism
The local beaches are a tourism attraction of the area, part of a long stretch of unbroken sandy beach that connects Cahore to Raven Point.

Morriscastle, the largest beach, is used by swimmers, walkers, horse riders and anglers, and is the focal point for a cluster of holiday home developments, caravan parks and camp sites. As of 2019, the beach held a Blue Flag award, granted due to its water quality, safety, well-managed environment and local services. Morriscastle beach was listed (at number 5) in a 2016 article in the Irish Times titled "50 great Irish beaches".

Other beaches nearby include Ballinoulart, Tinnaberna and Ballynamon. The local coast is host to some rare flora and fauna and is part of a national heritage site, Kilmuckridge-Tinnaberna Sandhills. A substantial wind farm, Ballywater Wind Farm, is located near Ballinoulart beach. Fish which are caught in the area include bass and flounder, and a small number of local boats still trawl for herring in the early winter.

Kilmuckridge contains a number of historical buildings as well as restaurants, guesthouses, pubs, and shops.

Blackwater Golf Course is located about five kilometres from Kilmuckridge.

Sport
Kilmuckridge's local GAA club is Buffers Alley, which is shared with the neighbouring village of Monamolin and based at Ballinastraw. It is predominantly a hurling and camogie club but also fields teams in junior Gaelic football.

The club's hurling won the 1989 All-Ireland Senior Club Hurling Championship, becoming the first Wexford team to do so. As of 2012, the club has won twelve Wexford Senior Hurling Championship titles, all in a period from 1968 to 1992. Players of this period included Tony Doran, Colm Doran, Mick Butler, Henry Butler, and Tom Dempsey.

Buffer's Alley's camogie team also has several national successes, winning the All-Ireland Senior Club Camogie Championship five times in a six-year period from 1979 to 1984, jointly making it the competition's most successful team, until being surpassed some years later by St Paul's Camogie Club of Kilkenny.

The local soccer club is St Joseph's, which is based at Grove Park in the centre of Kilmuckridge.

Aside from the area's beaches, the locality has several running and walking routes. These include a loop around Ballinlow lane (5.2 km), from the village to Morriscastle Beach (3.1 km), along the beach from Morriscastle to Tinnaberna (4.6 km) and from Tinnaberna to the village (4.4 km).

Transport
The village is located approximately 119 kilometres from central Dublin via the M11/N11 National Primary Route, exiting near Gorey. The village lies on the R742 regional road 22 km south of Gorey, but many locals take the R741 regional road. Wexford town is a further 24 km south.

Bus Éireann local route 379 serves the village.

Arts
The village hosts the annual Kilmuckridge Drama Festival, which has been running since the 1950s. In April 2015, the village hosted the All-Ireland Confined Drama Finals.

Local band The Jades finishing as runners-up on the RTÉ series You're a Star during the 2000s.

 * This catalogue from the National Gallery highlights the history of the Corcoran Biennials and one of the essays says the Corcoran's first Biennial in 1907 was "one of the earliest and most progressive of our nation's biennial exhibitions." So maybe not the first U.S. museum to mount a biennial. That said, there's some good info in there that might benefit this article. There's also this Washington Post review of the 45th biennial that has a bit of history/color around the first one. —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 13:22, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
