Russel Norman

Russel William Norman (born 2 June 1967) is a New Zealand politician and environmentalist. He was a Member of Parliament and co-leader of the Green Party. Norman resigned as an MP in October 2015 to work as Executive Director of Greenpeace Aotearoa New Zealand.

Early life
Norman was born in Brisbane, Australia, and worked a number of unskilled roles after dropping out of medical school. As a student in Queensland, his first ever vote in 1986 was motivated by the desire to oust the Premier of Queensland at the time, Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen. Whilst living in Australia, Norman was involved with the Democratic Socialist Party for several years, and contested the House of Representatives for the party at the 1990 federal election, placing fifth of five candidates in the seat of Griffith.

Norman moved to New Zealand in 1997, saying this was to observe the red-green Alliance coalition. He wrote his political science PhD thesis on the Alliance, and was active within the party, editing its party newsletter.

Involvement in politics
In New Zealand Norman became involved in organic farming, and was active in the Auckland branch of the Green Party, helping to set up the Waiheke branch.

Later, he worked as an assistant to Green MPs Sue Kedgley, Nándor Tánczos and Keith Locke. He was a researcher for the party from 2002 to 2004 and was the national campaign manager prior to the 2005 election and the national Party Development Co-ordinator afterwards.

Following the death of Rod Donald, Norman put his name forward as a contender for the male co-leader position. He won the position on 3 June 2006 at the annual meeting, beating Tanczos, David Clendon and former MP Mike Ward in an STV vote by delegates from electorates around the country.

Member of Parliament
In the 2002 election general election, Norman contested the Rimutaka electorate, where he placed fourth. He was ranked seventeenth on the Green Party list. In the 2005 election, he did not contest an electorate, but was ranked tenth on the Green Party list. On 27 June 2008 Norman was declared elected to parliament when Tanczos resigned after Ward and Catherine Delahunty, who were above Norman on the party list, agreed to stand aside. In the 2008 general election Norman stood in the Rongotai electorate against senior Labour Cabinet Minister Annette King. He placed third in the electorate, but was second on his party's list, and so was returned to parliament.

Norman stood as the Green Party's candidate for the Mount Albert by-election in 2009, following the resignation of Prime Minister Helen Clark. Norman came third with 12.09% of the vote.

In June 2010, Norman claimed he was assaulted by Chinese security staff when he protested against a visiting Chinese delegation of the Vice President Xi Jinping with a Tibetan snow lion flag. Norman lodged a complaint of assault with the New Zealand Police and the Speaker of the House, but police did not find enough evidence to substantiate his claims.

In November 2013 it was announced that Norman would be challenged for the party co-leadership by former Green candidate and Auckland Council policy analyst David Hay. Norman was the first Green co-leader to be openly challenged for the position, stating of Hay "it's an open democratic process, he's entitled to his opinion." Prior to announcing the challenge Hay was informed by the party that he would not be a candidate in the next general election leading to a Green Party spokesperson to say the leadership challenge was "a case of sour grapes". A leadership vote did not eventuate as before the party annual general meeting took place Hay's membership was suspended for one year after an investigation panel found his behaviour breached party rules. Hay admitted breaching the rules after attacking the leadership through via media and leaking internal party documents though also found him to have a genuine grievance for being barred from the candidate pool based on allegations with no evidence. Norman remained leader without being subjected to a delegate vote.

Retirement
In January 2015, shortly after the birth of his third child, Norman announced he would stand down as co-leader of the Green Party. However, he said he would remain as a Green MP for the foreseeable future. He named what he saw as his key political victories as co-leader as: forcing the Government to reverse its decision to allow mining on Schedule 4 conservation land, and leading a campaign and referendum against National's asset sales programme. Norman was succeeded by James Shaw as co-leader on 30 May 2015. On 11 September 2015, Norman announced that he would resign in October as an MP, and that he would also formally resign from the Green Party, prior to taking on the role of Executive Director of Greenpeace Aotearoa New Zealand. This enabled the next person on the Green Party list, Marama Davidson, to become a member of parliament. In his valedictory speech in Parliament, he spoke about the loss of democracy in New Zealand, and said there were significant problems regarding access to official information.

Personal life
Norman and his partner, Katya Paquin (sister of Anna Paquin), live with their two sons and a daughter in Hataitai.

In 2012 when Norman and David Shearer shaved their heads for a cancer appeal, he revealed that he had had a melanoma mole removed from his forearm at age 15, leaving a 10 cm scar.

In 2014, Norman was awarded a Bravo award by the New Zealand Skeptics for responding to Steffan Browning's comments on homeopathy stating, "stating that this was not something the Green Party would support as they take 'an evidence based approach.'"

Talk:Cohen's kappa

What about unifying this with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleiss%27_kappa. It seems to be the same quantity... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.70.76.11 (talk) 23:11, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Exellent sweep work and getting that formula in order. Cheers. --Piewalker 21:49, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Dispute with AbsolutDan
I found this message on my Talk page: "Please stop. If you continue to use Wikipedia for advertising, as you did in Cohen's kappa, you will be blocked from editing. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. --AbsolutDan (talk) 12:49, 4 August 2006 (UTC)" Can someone provide an opinion on the suitability of the link to Cohen's Kappa Example: http://www.6sigma101.com/glossary/cohen_kappa.htm#1 What is wrong with this example? In what way is this advertizing? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.214.51.192 (talk • contribs).

 * The formula looks fine at that link. Advertising or not, the 2x2 tables are helpful. It's the correct formula. Leaving that page, to be honest I don't feel an overwhelming, compulsory, capitalistic urge to buy anything. In fact, after visiting that page I want to buy less stuff and use the formula to gauge interrater agreement between other people who also went there and want to buy less. Piewalker 15:10, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, Piewalker. Do you support re-adding the link?

 * Sure. We can always remove it later if the forces of good or evil collectively decide this one hyperlink sucks. Piewalker 16:00, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

 * That's opposite of how it works, the inclusion of links has to be justified, not their removal. You need to explain first, what makes the link a unique resource to the encyclopedic content that isn't already in the article or could be easily included? Femto 18:04, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I guess you're right, Femto. Even though I already justified inclusion of the link with my first post in sentence 2, 3, and 4, I suppose it's not necessarily a "unique" resource. One could get this data from many places. I still think 2x2 tables are excellent examples that are easily modifiable for adaptation to the article (so it's not plagiarism). Thanks for volunteering yourself to do that, "Male, European, and already paranoid about giving away this much information." Holler if you need help. Cheerio. Piewalker 18:42, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm not volunteering, 203.214.51.192 should. Instead of keeping to re-include contentious external links, add truly free internal content to Wikipedia. Femto 18:54, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Dispute with Femto
So that you can remove it at your whim? It is very clear that Wikipedia is about spam wars by self-confessed vigilante like you and AbsolutDan, and not about supporting genuine contributions. As you know yourself you violate Wikipedia rules by removing content supported by another editor who has proven that the advertising point made by AbsolutDan is simply not true. As you can see from this discussion records the other external link here never had to be justified (I am not suggesting to remove it though). This is a clear example of your selective, vindictive approach. You made it "contentious" and totally ignored its content. What is "truly free internal content"? How is http://www.6sigma101.com/glossary/cohen_kappa.htm#1 not free? Is it because you cannot see it in Opera? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.214.51.192 (talk • contribs) 21:29, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Reply copied from User talk:Femto - Contribute cited text, not bare links. External links are not content. The page is Copyright ©2006 MiC Quality, under exclusive control of that company, and not part of Wikipedia's GNU Free Documentation License. I'm not "removing professional content from Wikipedia", you never added it. You showed no other interest in improving Wikipedia, only in placing links to the company you're associated with. This is advertising, and your insistent inclusion of links is spamming. Femto 12:40, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

As I've mentioned in a couple places already, 6sigma101.com has been spammed across multiple articles by several usernames and IPs which appear to be working in concert. Please see the following: There was a heated discussion about the link here: Talk:Six Sigma where it was determined the link was not extremely helpful and is to a site that is intended to promote their services (6sigma training). If you do a WHOIS on 203.214.69.7 and 203.214.51.192, you can see they both come from the same ISP. It seems apparent that this is simply the new IP of the above contributor(s), back to try to include links to their site, in blatent violation of guidelines. Furthermore, removing the link is not against guidelines unless there is a consensus in favor of the link. One agreement does not a consensus make, especially when there are 2 people not in favor of the link. Besides, the one person who did initially agree with the link later decided against it. Please stop pushing the 6sigma101 link and add useful content to Wikipedia. --AbsolutDan (talk) 21:41, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Special:Contributions/203.214.69.7
 * Special:Contributions/Goskan
 * Special:Contributions/Glen netherwood
 * As an outside observer, I viewed the link to 6sigma101 and found the example to be not only a good one but lacking of any particular "buy our services" content that you describe. While that material may be elsewhere on the site and other links by the users described may better advertise for their services, it is not even a secondary purpose for the link provided on this page.  ju66l3r 21:46, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Thank you. Your comment is like a breath of fresh air. I hope there will be more professional people like you supporting useful contributions from other professional people. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.214.51.192 (talk • contribs).

 * As given for the rationale of my last revert, linkspam does not have to be commercial to be promotional. Professional people are still invited to contribute content instead of links. Femto 13:18, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Proposal to Re-enter Link to The Example
As before I would like to add the link to the example on Cohen's Kappa. If you support it please confirm it here. TIA

 * It's probably best to not relink it, especially considering the evidence presented above. I proposed earlier that you adapt the 2x2 tables and then integrate them into the article instead of hyperlinking to a proprietary page. Adapt the content, it's not that hard. True it's a little bit more work, but that's what you're gonna have to do in this case, dude. Oh, and you probably should register at Wikipedia and get yourself a user name if you want to be taken seriously here. Cheerio. Piewalker 22:32, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

I must say that the link gives good information. I must concede too that I did not regard it as unduly "promotional". The argument of Femto, however, is not to be dismissed easily. Thus, incorporation of the illustration sample in the article would be a benefit. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 217.194.34.103 (talk • contribs).

 * The owner of a site was pushing to add links to it, if that's not promotional, what is it? Adding true internal content would be fine. Femto 16:01, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree with Femto that the additions of "true internal content would be fine." Absolutely. Sure, there's some information at that site, but its interspersed with promotional material. Adapt the concepts of the content there in your own way! Ideas cannot be copyrighted. The Associated Press Stylebook and Libel Manual (32nd edition, 1997) notes the following on page 303: "The broadest limitation on the reach of copyright law is that ideas and facts are never protected by a copyright." Adapt it. Don't link to it. There's no compelling reason to link to a page. I agree, an illustration of the concepts presented in that particular link would be helpful in this article, but those concepts can be found at dozens of other web sites as well, not to mention text books and a litany of peer-reviewed journal articles that have used this in practice. In this case, you must do the work to adapt the content, or collaborate with others to aptly communicate the principles of Kappa. What we're after here at Wikipedia is the truth, not to advertise. I'm against linking. I'm not against representing truth. So, anonymous user, again I respectfully request that you register at Wikipedia and sign your comments. Above all, I appreciate that you're trying to make this article better. Piewalker 16:19, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

And our namesake?
Would anyone like to create a brief article about Jacob Cohen? Previously, the name linked to Rodney Dangerfield, as Jacob Cohen was apparently his given name. I added a link here to that page so that if someone does finally make a Jacob Cohen (measurement researcher) page, it will be properly linked, assuming the author takes steps to disambiguate it from the actor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Carinamc (talk • contribs) 04:31, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Not quite sure about the 2x2 example used
I thought this article well written and quite informative. But I had a problem with example used. A 2x2 matrix was used, and it showed the percentage of YES/NO ratings for each rater. But I simply don't see how one can compute the relative agreement between the two raters in this case. For example, if two reviewers of student essays are rating the same 50 essays, I could not tell how much they agreed if both rated 50% of the essays GOOD and 50% of the essays BAD. Instead, one would need to know if for each document, was there agreement or not between the two raters. So I kind of puzzled over this, until I decided just to ignore the example.

So personally I'd like the example made a bit more compelling. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Terralinda (talk • contribs) 23:18, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Inconsistent results
One of the problems with Cohen's Kappa is that it does not always produce the expected answer. For instance, in the following two cases there is much greater agreement between A and B in the first case than in the second case and we would expect the relative values of Cohen's Kappa to reflect this. However, calculating Cohen's Kappa for each:

$$\kappa = \frac{0.60-0.54}{1-0.54} = 0.1304$$

$$\kappa = \frac{0.60-0.46}{1-0.46} = 0.2593$$

we find that it shows greater similarity between A and B in the second case, compared to the first.

take out the Inconsistent Results section !!!!!
Think of a 2x2 results grid like

True Positive    ||   False Positive

True Neagative || False Negative

If people "agree" on the TP and the FN, cool. Great. So what? (TP + FP) = what exactly ?

Cohen's k is inconsistent only if one thinks that TP and FP inextricably exist in the same category and should behave in perfect positive correlation one to another. Because they don't, obviously, kappa is not an inconsistent measure. One simply must understand exactly WHAT is being calculated. Does this make any sense? I wish someone would fix this. My wiki syntax control is still weak as you can see. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.234.5.137 (talk) 22:14, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Well the scenario you pose is a little different. If we know the true value, we are looking at agreement with a standard (a.k.a. validity), not with another rater. (As you say, just because raters agree with each other doesn't make them right...) So I could look at Bob's agreement to the standard and Mary's agreement to the standard individually using kappa. One or the other could have better agreement above that of chance. But if we are to compare the system of "Bob and Mary" and its overall ability to agree with the standard, I would suggest using R.J. Light's G, since the standard is the real value it has special significance. G kind of generates a pooled agreement with the standard across all the individual assessors.128.138.77.197 (talk) 16:00, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

Inconsistent results...are they?
It's not at all clear to me (either from the Wikipedia page or from the cited paper) why the results listed in the "Inconsistent results" section are inconsistent. The article doesn't explain why, and the source paper merely claims "Most researchers would prefer in such situations, an agreement statistic that would yield a higher inter-rater reliability for [the first] experiment." First off, I'm pretty sure the quoted claim would be tagged with "who?" were it to be posted on Wikipedia. Second, the way I see it, the raters in the two experiments agree on the same number of items and disagree on the same number of items. Why should the agreement statistics differ? Can anyone explain this? Cheers! Matt Gerber (talk) 04:08, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * In the two data sets the total number of items on which the raters agree is the same and the total number of items on which they disagree is the same. The difference is that the disagreement numbers are heavily skewed towards one of the possible disagreement cases.  Does this mean there is greater agreement for one set of results compared to the other?  I don't know.  I would agree that the two sets of data should have the same 'similarity' value. Derek farn (talk) 12:54, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * In which case the example still shows something inconsistent about Cohen's Kappa, but for a reason other than the one presumed by the writers of the article/paper, who believe the first experiment should show greater agreement (still not sure why). I've surveyed some literature recently, and found what I think it is much more intuitive case of inconsistency. Check it out here, on page 99, examples 3 and 4. The only difference between the two is that the raters agreed in different ways. Examples 3 and 4 in the paper should intuitively show very high agreement, and example 4 does (k=0.8) - but the other shows negative agreement (i.e., disagreement) at k=-0.048. Does anyone object to replacing the current example with the one I've linked to? Matt Gerber (talk) 15:50, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Significance
The part about significance doesn't actually say anything about significance. Stata gives me some p-value, though, so there must be some way? --Sineuve (talk) 07:01, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Significance and Magnitude
The section currently labeled Significance is mainly about magnitude. I changed its name to Significance and Magnitude and added a sentence about significance (with citations), explaining why significance is rarely reported. I added information about magnitude (with citations). Specifically, I note three factors than can affect the magnitude of kappa (bias, prevalence, number of codes) and make the point that, given these factors, no particular magnitude of kappa can be regarded as universally acceptable.

Nonetheless, I left the current prose that gives Landis and Koch’s and Fleiss’s guidelines for magnitude. I put Koch and Landis’s guidelines in prose, not in a table as currently, because the table gives them a prominence not in line with the prose that describes them as problematic. I also edited the current prose some. Current prose is, “It has been noted that these guidelines may be more harmful than helpful” and continues “as the number of categories and subjects will affect the magnitude of the value. The kappa will be higher when there are fewer categories.” I left the “more harmful than helpful” but I deleted the phrase and sentence in the last quote because it is inaccurate.

I was puzzled by the statement that kappa will be higher with fewer categories, when I know from reading and my own work that the opposite is true. The current prose cites Sim and Wright (2005) for this statement. True, Sim and Wright do say this, but it is not a major point in their otherwise thorough and careful article. Their citation for the statement is: Maclure, M., & Willett, W. C. (1987). Misinterpretation and misuse of the kappa statistic. American Journal of Epidemiology, 126, 161–169.

As evidence for the statement, Maclure and Willett present a single 12x12 table and compute its kappa. They then collapse the table into 6x6, 4x4, 3x3, and 2x2 tables. For each successive table, the value of kappa does increase, but this is due to the nature of the data in the initial table. Maclure and Willett knew this. They wrote, “Clearly, in this situation, the values for Kappa are so greatly influenced by the number of categories that a four-category-Kappa for ordinal data cannot be compared with a three-category Kappa” (p. 163). Thus Maclure and Willett did not claim that kappa would be lower with more codes generally, but only in the situation where ordinal codes are collapsed. Additionally, collapsing doesn’t tell us what observers of a given accuracy would do when choosing among 12, 6, etc. codes. The simulation study cited in my modified prose provides evidence for the statement that, other things being equal and for nominal as well as ordinal codes, kappa decreases when codes are fewer (i.e., when coders of a specified accuracy chose one of a specified number of codes.

RABatl (talk) 20:21, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Weighted Kappa
Weighted kappa can be used in cases where you can order the labels. This sentence " especially useful when codes are ordered" is not very clear. It should give an example saying that if you have label1<label2<label3 in a "semantic way", you can use weighted kappa. Furthermore, I think the weight matrix should be better explained. It has two forms: linear or quadratic. In linear case, w_ij=1-(|i-j|/max_d), where max_d=max(|i-j|) for all i and j in the label domain. If your label domain is 1,2,...n, then max_d = n-1.

In quadratic case, w_ij=1-(|i-j|/max_d)^2.

I needed to use weighted kappa for a small work, but could not find a code. I think looking at the code can better help people understand how you actually calculate the value. I wrote an implementation in PHP. I added it to the external links, but the bot tends to delete it. If the link needs to be deleted, please copy the code into the article, but definitely keep it.

Inconsistent results (again)
This has been brought up before, but I think the "Inconsistent results" section is misleading. The fact that kappa can differ as percent agreement stays the same is a feature, not a bug. Otherwise, we would simply use percent agreement as the sole measure of interrater agreement. In the example cited, the reason the kappa is greater in the second case is that the two raters have managed to obtain the same agreement rate despite the fact that one of them has many more "Yes" results than the other. Honestly, I would rather a section with those examples read, "One of the advantages of Cohen's kappa is that it can distinguish between two sets of raters with the same agreement rate."

There are, of course, some valid criticisms of Cohen's kappa. I just don't think this is one of them. I see that it has been like this for quite some time, though, so perhaps I am misinterpreting. Thoughts? FCSundae ∨  ☃   (talk) 11:50, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Inconsistent results (again and again)
This section is misleading. The results aren't 'inconsistent'. The prior distributions of answers aren't the same, so there's no reason to expect identical cohen's kappas. I believe that the beginning of the article is great, and explains that this "inconsistency" is part of the statistics. Since there has been multiple remarks about this on this discussion page, I removed the section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gapar2 (talk • contribs) 01:06, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Weighted Kappa formula incorrect?
The formula for the weighted kappa appears to be incorrect, but I wasn't certain enough to edit it. It appears as:

 * $$\kappa = 1- \frac{(1-\sum_{i=1}^{k} \sum_{j=1}^{k}w_{ij}x_{ij})} {(1 -\sum_{i=1}^{k} \sum_{j=1}^{k}w_{ij}m_{ij})} $$

while in Cohen's 1968 paper (which we link to in the article), it appears as

 * $$\kappa = 1- \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{k} \sum_{j=1}^{k}w_{ij}x_{ij}} {\sum_{i=1}^{k} \sum_{j=1}^{k}w_{ij}m_{ij}} $$

Am I missing something? Zephyrus Tavvier (talk) 04:34, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

Carletta's kappa is not Cohen's kappa
I removed the reference

 * Carletta, Jean. (1996) Assessing agreement on classification tasks: The kappa statistic. Computational Linguistics, 22(2), pp. 249–254.

because, apparently, what Carletta is arguing for is not Cohen's kappa:

"The literature is full of terminological inconsistencies. Carletta calls the coefficient of agreement she argues for “kappa,” referring to Krippendorff (1980) and Siegel and Castellan (1988), and using Siegel and Castellan’s terminology and definitions. However, Siegel and Castellan’s statistic, which they call K, is actually Fleiss’s generalization to more than two coders of Scott’s π, not of the original Cohen’s κ; to confuse matters further, Siegel and Castellan use the Greek letter κ to indicate the parameter which is estimated by K."

Brazil at the 1992 Summer Olympics

Brazil competed at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain. 182 competitors, 132 men and 50 women, took part in 107 events in 23 sports. Brazilian Team has conquered only 3 medals in Barcelona. It was the lowest number since Montreal 1976, but unlike Montreal, two of the three medals were gold and this is also until the date of the games the best result of the country, as the Barcelona Games was the first without boycotts since the Mexico City games in 1968.

The swimmer Gustavo Borges was a silver medalist in men's 100 metre freestyle. It was the first medal won by Borges, who has four Olympic medals (a total record among all Brazilian swimmers).

The judoka Rogério Sampaio won the gold medal in men's 65 kg category. In the final, he defeated József Csák from Hungary.

Brazil men's national volleyball team made history by conquering the first gold medal ever won by Brazilians not only in Volleyball but also in a team sport event. The team won all the eight matches of the tournament and losing only three sets. The gold medal was a surprise, given the team was young, had not achieved significant results in previous competitions and Italy was the favorite. In the gold-medal match, Brazil defeated Netherlands by 3 sets to 0.

Maria of Antioch

Maria of Antioch (Μαρία; 1145–1182) was a Byzantine empress by marriage to Byzantine Emperor Manuel I Komnenos, and regent during the minority of her son porphyrogennetos Alexios II Komnenos from 1180 until 1182.

Early life
Maria of Antioch was the daughter of Constance of Antioch and her first husband Raymond of Poitiers. In 1160, Maria's stepfather Raynald of Châtillon was taken prisoner by Maj al-Dīn, the ruler of Aleppo and an ally of Nūr al-Dīn. Her mother claimed the Principality of Antioch for herself, but the nobles supported her son, Maria's brother Bohemund III. King Baldwin III of Jerusalem set Bohemund III up as prince and appointed as regent the rich and worldly Aimery of Limoges, Latin Patriarch of Antioch and an old opponent of Raynald. Constance protested this decision in Constantinople at the court of the Byzantine emperor Manuel I Komnenos, the nominal overlord of Antioch.

Byzantine empress
At the end of 1159, Manuel's wife Empress Irene (originally named Bertha of Sulzbach) had died, and Manuel wanted to marry a princess from one of the Crusader states. John Kontostephanos, the chief dragoman (interpreter) Theophylact, and the akolouthos of the Varangian Guard Basil Kamateros were sent to Jerusalem to seek a new wife, and the two princesses Maria of Antioch and Melisende of Tripoli, a daughter of Count Raymond II of Tripoli by Hodierna of Jerusalem, were offered as candidates. Both were renowned for their beauty, but according to John Kinnamos Maria was the more beautiful of the two; the tall, blonde-haired princess clearly showed her Norman ancestry. King Baldwin III suggested Melisende, and her brother Count Raymond III of Tripoli set about gathering an enormous dowry, with gifts from Hodierna and from Melisende's namesake, her aunt Queen Melisende. The ambassadors were not satisfied and delayed the marriage for over a year; they had apparently heard rumours concerning Hodierna's infidelity and therefore Melisende's possible legitimacy. Instead, Manuel chose Maria. Count Raymond was insulted and in retaliation attacked Byzantine Cyprus.

Meanwhile, an imperial embassy led by Alexios Bryennios Komnenos and the prefect of Constantinople, John Kamateros, came to Antioch to negotiate the marriage. Maria embarked from the port of St. Simeon for Constantinople in September 1161, and the marriage took place in Hagia Sophia on December 24. Three patriarchs performed the marriage: Luke Chrysoberges, Patriarch of Constantinople; Sophronios, Greek Patriarch of Alexandria, and Athanasios I, Greek Patriarch of Antioch. The marriage was celebrated with feasts, gifts to the church, and chariot races in the Hippodrome for the people. This strengthened the connection of Antioch to the Byzantine Empire. The marriage also strengthened the position of Maria's mother Constance, who now held the regency of Antioch. According to Niketas Choniates, Maria

"'...was like unto the laughter-loving, golden Aphrodite, the white-armed and ox-eyed Hera, the long-necked and beautiful ankled Laconian, whom the ancients deified for their beauty, and all the rest of the beauties whose good looks have been preserved in distinguished books and histories.'"

For several years, Maria was childless. In 1166 she miscarried a son, considered a tragedy by her husband and the population. In 1169 Maria finally gave birth to a son, the future emperor Alexios II Komnenos. She played a role in the political and diplomatic life of Constantinople. French being her mother tongue, she was able to observe the double-dealing of the hypoboleus (court interpreter) Aaron Isaakios, who was quietly advising Westerners not to pay too much for the Emperor's favour. As a result, Manuel had Aaron blinded.

Regency
After the death of Manuel in 1180, Maria officially became a nun with the name "Xenē" (Ξένη), but in reality she acted as regent for their son Alexios II. Despite being a nun she had many ambitious suitors, but she chose another Alexios, the prōtosebastos and prōtovestiarios, a nephew of Manuel and uncle of Maria Komnene, former queen of Jerusalem, as an advisor and lover, causing a scandal among the Greek population. As a Westerner who favoured the Italian merchants, Maria was opposed by the Greeks, and her regency was widely considered incompetent.

The leaders of the opposition were her stepdaughter, the porphyrogenita Maria Komnene and her husband, the Caesar Renier of Montferrat, though himself a fellow Latin. The porphyrogenita Maria may have considered herself the rightful heir, as the elder child of Manuel; she was almost as old as her stepmother Maria. Maria and Renier gained the support of the Patriarch Theodosius I and used Hagia Sophia as a base of operations. Alexios had the patriarch arrested, leading to open warfare on the streets of Constantinople.

Execution
Manuel's cousin Andronikos Komnenos, who had been exiled during Manuel's reign, was invited back by the porphyrogenita Maria, and marched on Constantinople in 1182. He provoked the citizens into a massacre of the Latin inhabitants, mostly Venetian and Genoese merchants.

After gaining control of the city, he had the Porphyrogenita and Renier poisoned, and then had Empress Maria arrested and imprisoned in the monastery of St. Diomedes or in a prison nearby. The empress tried to seek help from her brother-in-law King Béla III of Hungary, to no avail. Andronikos had Alexios II sign the order for his mother's execution, and appointed his own son Manuel and the sebastos George to execute her, but they refused. Instead, according to Niketas, Maria was strangled by the hetaireiarches Constantine Tripsychos and the eunuch Pterygeonites, and buried in an unmarked grave on a nearby beach.

Presumably owing to the secrecy surrounding her death, alternative versions of her death circulated, such as that she was tied up in a sack and drowned. Andronikos had himself crowned co-emperor, but Alexios II was soon murdered as well, and Andronikos took full control of the empire. Sometime later Andronikos also defaced or destroyed most images of Maria in Constantinople.

Doctor shopping

Doctor shopping is the practice of visiting multiple physicians to obtain multiple prescriptions. It is a common practice of people with substance use disorders, suppliers of addictive substances, hypochondriacs or patients of factitious disorder and factitious disorder imposed on another. A doctor who, for a price, will write prescriptions without the formality of a medical exam or diagnosis is known as a "writer" or "writing doctor".

Description
A doctor shopper will visit multiple health care providers as a "new patient" or "visiting from out of town," and will exaggerate or feign medical problems to obtain prescription medications or a wanted medical opinion, diagnosis or treatment with no specific material gain.

This is illegal in Canada under S. 4(2) of the CDSA

For prescription drugs
Frequently involved in prescription fraud are narcotics, stimulants, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, tranquilizers and other psychoactive substances manufactured for use in legitimate medical treatment. Law enforcement officers spend a significant amount of time investigating cases involving prescription fraud, many of which also involve insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid fraud.

Prescription drug diversion occurs by faking, forging, or altering a prescription; obtaining bogus prescriptions from criminal medical practitioners; or buying drugs diverted from health care facilities by personnel. Pharmacy thefts are increasing throughout the United States to feed the growing demand for prescription drugs. The rising cost of prescription drugs has also enticed senior citizens to join in the diversion and to sell their prescriptions.

Doctor shopping is a kind of malingering with the specific goal of procuring prescription drugs. Malingering is underdiagnosed, often because of the physician's fear of making false accusations. Covert surveillance has indicated that as many as 20% of pain clinic patients misrepresent the extent of their disability. The judgment of the morality of malingering is largely a matter of the observer and circumstances. Most people would regard defrauding an insurance company, by reporting a false injury, as an antisocial act. In contrast, the malingering of a prisoner-of-war, who is attempting to manipulate his or her captors, would be seen by most compatriots as a skillful coping mechanism.

In hypochondriasis and factitious disorders
Some patients of hypochondria, factitious disorder and factitious disorder imposed on another will visit multiple health care providers to find a medical opinion, diagnosis or treatment that they feel the need to get,   not specifically in search of prescription drugs, for no material benefit  and even incurring in significant costs, debts or losses. This kind of doctor shopping lacks intention to commit malingering for material gain and is the result of such mental conditions.

Hopkins was launched 26 June 1920 by the New York Shipbuilding Corporation, one of 156 Clemson-class destroyer destroyers built. She was sponsored by Miss Sarah Babbitt, a descendant of Commodore of the Continental Navy Esek Hopkins; and commissioned 21 March 1921 at Philadelphia.

Service history
After shakedown Hopkins arrived at Newport, Rhode Island, 31 May for battle practice training during the summer. In November, she was assigned to Destroyer Squadron 15 for tactical training with the Atlantic Fleet along the East Coast.

Hopkins sailed from Hampton Roads 2 October 1922, and reached Constantinople 22 October for duty in Turkish waters. She protected American interests and cooperated with the relief mission in the Near East, ranging to Beirut, Jaffa, and Smyrna. She departed Constantinople 18 May 1923 for New York, arriving 12 June. For the next seven years, Hopkins operated out of New England ports in the summer, Charleston, South Carolina, in the winter, and the Caribbean Sea in the spring. During the spring of 1930, Hopkins participated in force battle practice with aircraft.

On 3 February 1932, Hopkins was one of the two naval ships rendering medical aid to earthquake victims at Santiago, Cuba. She departed 5 February to join the Pacific Fleet at San Diego, California. She had escort duty for President Franklin D. Roosevelt's cruise to Canada in July 1936, then resumed training along the Western Seaboard.

Hopkins returned to Norfolk, Virginia in April 1939, and performed Neutrality Patrol from September 1939 until sailing for San Diego 37 May, and from there to Pearl Harbor. She converted to a high-speed minesweeper (DMS-13) in the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard.

World War II
When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, Hopkins was at Johnston Island for war maneuvers, but immediately headed back to Hawaii. She continued patrol of the Hawaiian Sea Frontier, with a short break for overhaul in the States, until late summer 1942, when she joined the invasion fleet bound for Guadalcanal. As America's first offensive of the Pacific war began 7 August, Hopkins swept the transport area and covered the landings on Tulagi. During a heavy enemy air attack 9 August, she shot down two enemy planes, and in the following months, Hopkins escorted transports, swept mines, and carried badly needed supplies to Guadalcanal.

Hopkins served as flagship for Admiral Richmond K. Turner as the Russell Islands were invaded 21 February 1943. During the action, she shot down a Japanese plane. Remaining in the southwest Pacific, she joined in the initial invasion of Rice Anchorage, New Georgia, 4 July, and of Bougainville 1 November. Convoy escort, antisubmarine patrol, and sweeping duties kept the destroyer busy until the Solomon Islands were secured.

As the Navy moved farther across the Pacific in the island-hopping campaign, Hopkins arrived off Saipan 13 June 1944 to sweep the invasion approaches. She provided screen and fire support for the amphibious landings of 15 June 1944. She picked up 62 prisoners from sunken Japanese ships as well as rescuing a downed fighter pilot and a seaplane crew. A brief rest at Eniwetok was followed by a role in the capture of Guam. Hopkins reached that important Marianas island 14 July to participate in the preinvasion sweeping and bombardment. She also gave fire-support to the landings 16 July.

Following overhaul at San Francisco, CA, Hopkins arrived in Leyte Gulf 27 December 1944 to prepare for the Lingayen landings. The minesweepers sailed 2 January 1945 to sweep Lingayen Gulf under attack from Japanese dive bombers and kamikazes. When her sister ship USS Palmer (DD-161) was hit and sank in 13 minutes the morning of 7 January, Hopkins rescued 94 survivors.

Hopkins departed the Philippines 15 January 1945 for a brief rest at Eniwetok, then swept the transport areas and channels off Iwo Jima to prepare for invasion 19 February 1945. She remained on patrol off Iwo Jima, emerging from heavy air and shore fire unscathed. Departing Iwo Jima 6 March, Hopkins next headed into battle off Okinawa, the "last stepping stone to Japan." While fighting off the constant raids and suicide attacks she shot down several Japanese planes. On 4 May 1945 she was struck a glancing blow by a burning kamikaze just before it plunged into the sea. There was one casualty during this attack. Coxswain Morris Dee Garrett was the only casualty on that day and was the only casualty from the USS Hopkins during World War II.

On 7 June 1945, Hopkins steamed for overhaul at Leyte, Philippine Islands where she remained until cessation of hostilities. Hopkins then rendezvoused with units of the 3rd Fleet headed for Tokyo Bay. After two days of sweeping the entrances to Tokyo Bay, Hopkins anchored in sight of Mount Fuji 30 August 1945. Hopkins rode out two typhoons with winds raging to 125 knots before her departure from Tokyo Bay 10 October 1945 for the Eastern Seaboard of the United States.

Hopkins arrived in Norfolk 28 November and decommissioned there 21 December 1945. She was sold for scrapping 8 November 1946 to Heglo Sales Corporation, Hillsdale, New Jersey.

Awards
Hopkins was awarded two Navy Unit Commendations for heroism off Guadalcanal and in Lingayen Gulf. She also received 10 battle stars for her service in World War II. Hopkins is the most decorated member of the Clemson-class destroyers.

Cervo, Liguria

Cervo (O Çervo) is a small, ancient town and comune, built on top of a hill along the Italian Riviera in the province of Imperia. It has approximately 1,200 inhabitants. It is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia ("The most beautiful villages of Italy").

Overview
The settlement began as a Roman mansion along the Via Julia Augusta. Slowly expanding, it became, in medieval times, a fief of the Clavesana marquis, who was a subject of the Republic of Genoa, to which Cervo had always been faithful. The present character of Cervo dates from these times: 16th-century towers and ramparts still protect the village.

One of its main attractions is the fine baroque church of St. John the Baptist, overlooking the sea. The Romanesque Oratorio di Santa Caterina contain 18th-century frescoes. The medieval Clavesana stronghold hosts the Ethnographic Museum of Western Liguria and the Palazzo Viale-Citati.

Inhabitants used to earn a living from coral fishing in the Corsican and Sardinian seas, in addition to growing olives and seafaring, but the modern economy of Cervo is based on tourism and agriculture.

Cervo's connections with classical music date from to 1964, when the International Chamber Music Festival of Cervo was established by the Hungarian violinist Sandor Vegh. The event has been held every summer ever since. Music master classes – Accademia di Cervo – are held in September, and a guitar academy is held in June.

Twin towns/sister cities
Cervo is twinned with:

 * 🇪🇸 Cervo, Lugo, Spain (2008)

In popular culture
Part of the 1993 German film Stalingrad was filmed in Cervo.

Theophilus (biblical)

Theophilus is the name or honorary title of the person to whom the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles are addressed (Luke 1:3, Acts 1:1). It is thought that both works were written by the same author, and often argued that the two books were originally a single unified work. Both were written in a refined Koine Greek, and the name θεόφιλος ("Theophilos"), as it appears therein, means friend of God or (be)loved by God or loving God in the Greek language. The true identity of Theophilus is unknown, with several conjectures and traditions around an identity. In English Theophilus is also written "Theophilos", both a common name and an honorary title among the learned (academic) Romans and Jews of the era. The life of Theophilus would coincide with the writing of Luke and the author of the Acts.

Coptic view
Coptic tradition asserts that Theophilus was a person and not an honorary title. The Coptic Church claims that the person was a Jew of Alexandria. Similarly, John Wesley in his Notes on the New Testament recorded that Theophilus was "a person of eminent quality at Alexandria", which he understood to be the tradition 'of the ancients'.

Roman official
Luke addresses Theophilus as "Most excellent" (κράτιστε, optime), a form also used in Acts to address Roman governors. Some biblical interpreters have concluded that he was a Roman official who had been initiated into the church's teachings, for whom Luke now provided a full narrative. However, since it is not certain whether the κράτιστε was meant as a technically correct form of address for a Roman nobleman or merely as a general honouring statement about Theophilus, it is not possible to prove that he belonged to the upper class.

Honorary title
One tradition maintains that Theophilus was not a person. The word in Greek means "Friend of God" and thus both Luke and Acts were addressed to anyone who fits that description. In this tradition the author's targeted audience, as with all other canonical Gospels, were the learned (academic) but unnamed men and women of the era. Likewise the non-canonical Gospel of Thomas, Gospel of Peter, and Gospel of James are not addressed to any particular gender, or any specific person.

Paul's lawyer
Some theologians (e.g., David Pawson) believe that Theophilus could have been Paul's lawyer during his trial period in Rome. To support this claim people appeal to the formal legalese present in the prologue to the Gospel such as "eye witnesses," "account," "carefully investigated," "know the certainty of things which you have been instructed." The conclusion of the Book of Acts ends with Paul still alive and under arrest awaiting trial, suggesting it was the intention of the author to update Theophilus on Paul's history to provide for an explanation of his travels and preaching and serve as evidence in support of his innocence under Roman law. Some also point to the parallel between the account of Jesus' trial before Pontius Pilate narrated in Luke's Gospel with the account of Paul's trials before Roman judges in the Book of Acts. In total, Jesus was declared innocent three times by Pontius Pilate as was Paul before various judges.

Jewish priest
Some scholars point to Theophilus ben Ananus, High Priest from 37 to 41. In this tradition Theophilus would have been both a kohen and a Sadducee. That would make him the son of Annas and brother-in-law of Caiaphas, raised in the Second Temple period. Adherents claim that Luke's Gospel was targeted at Sadducee readers. This might explain some features of Luke's text. He begins the story with an account of Zacharias the righteous priest who had a Temple vision of an angel. Luke quickly moves to account Mary's purification (niddah), Jesus' Temple redemption (pidyon ha-ben) rituals, and then to Jesus' pilgrimage to the Temple when he was twelve. Some have suggested that this implied Jesus' bar mitzvah, though the modern method of celebrating bar mitzvah did not exist in that period and is not mentioned in sources until the Middle Ages. Luke makes no mention of Caiaphas' role in Jesus' crucifixion and emphasizes Jesus' literal resurrection, including an ascension into heaven as a realm of spiritual existence (Acts 1:1). Luke also seems to stress Jesus' arguments with the Sadducees on points like legal grounds for divorce, the existence of angels, spirits, and an afterlife (Sadducees did not believe in the resurrection of the dead). If this was the case then Luke is trying to use Jesus' rebuttals and teachings to break down Theophilus' Sadducean philosophy, maybe with the hope that Theophilus would use his influence to persuade the Sadducees to cease their persecution of the Christians. Some have suggested that Luke's Gospel could be seen as an allegorical (רֶמֶז remez) reference to Jesus as "the man called the Branch" prophesied in ;, who is the ultimate high priest foreshadowed by the Levitical priesthood.

Most, if not all, of the commentaries on the Gospel of Luke consider that the "Question about the Resurrection" pericope presented in Lk. 20:27-40 is the only account in Luke of Jesus confronting the Sadducees. It is true that Luke only mentions the Sadducees by name once but it is not true that this pericope is the only one concerning the Sadducees. The Parables about the Good Samaritan, the Unjust Steward, the Rich Man and Lazarus and the Wicked Tenants are directed to the Sadducees who controlled the temple establishment. These parables are about unfaithful priests. They are the wicked sons of Eli.

All of the New Testament passages concerning alms and almsgiving, except one in Matthew, are in Luke-Acts. Therefore, these parables may be about alms, almsgiving and the proper use of the wealth controlled by the temple authorities. Luke's criticism focuses on the use of these temple resources by the religious aristocracy for their own selfish purposes. This means that the religious authorities controlled tremendous wealth that had been in times past properly distributed to the people as part of the institutional form of almsgiving. The priests in these parables are unfaithful, dishonest and disobedient because, inter alia, they have not invited the poor, the maimed, the lame and the blind to the banquet table. Once the office of the High Priest became non-hereditary, and available to the highest bidder, the institutional role of almsgiving was abandoned or reduced as the purchaser had to recoup his purchase price.

A minority view identifies Theophilus as a later high priest: Mattathias ben Theophilus, who served from 65 to 66. Note that Luke refers to high priest Joseph ben Caiaphas simply as "Caiaphas". Thus, the reasoning goes, Luke used this pattern when addressing Theophilus.

Lá

Lá (Irish for "Day"; later known as Lá Nua, Irish for "New Day") was an Irish-language daily newspaper based in Belfast. It was the first daily newspaper in Ireland to be published in Irish. Lá Nua belonged to the Belfast Media Group, and was a sister paper of the Andersonstown News.

Established in the 1980s it developed from a broadsheet format to a European tabloid size. With a print circulation of a few thousand and an active website, Lá catered for the Irish language community throughout the island and abroad. It had a range of supplements, including Arts, Education, Sport, Business and Entertainment.

It had five editors, including founders Gearóid Ó Cairealláin and Eoghan Ó Néill, Ciarán Ó Pronntaigh, Concubhar Ó Liatháin and finally Dónall Mac Giolla Chóill (Feb-Dec 2008).

In October 2008, it was announced that the newspaper would cease publication at the end of 2008. Foras na Gaeilge decided not to further fund the paper due to its insufficient circulation and availability. The final issue was published on 19 December 2008.

The literary section was carried in the Andersonstown News for a few months edited by Dónall Mac Giolla Chóill and later by Ciarán Ó Pronntaigh, and all the articles were available on the official site, nuacht.com, until the site was finally taken offline.

Salmon–Challis National Forest

Salmon–Challis National Forest is located in east central sections of the U.S. state of Idaho. At 4,235,940 acres (6,618.66 sq mi, or 17,142.24 km2) it is one of the largest national forests in the lower 48 states and also has most of the land area of the Frank Church–River of No Return Wilderness, which is the largest wilderness area south of Alaska.

Borah Peak, the tallest mountain in Idaho, is also found here. The Wild and Scenic Salmon River weaves through the rugged terrain of the Sawtooth Mountains and Sawtooth National Recreation Area, while it flows for over 75 mi through the forest. The Big Lost River has its headwaters within the national forest.

Challis National Forest, the more southerly of its two parts, lies primarily in Custer County, but also has major areas in Lemhi and Butte counties, as well as smaller areas in Clark and Blaine counties. It has a total area of 2,463,471 acres (3,849.17 sq mi, or 9,969.31 km2). There are local ranger district offices located in Challis, Clayton, and Mackay.

Salmon National Forest, which lies to the north, is primarily located in Lemhi County, with spillover into Valley and Idaho counties. It has a total area of 1,772,469 acres (2,769.48 sq mi, or 7,172.93 km2). There are local ranger district offices located in Leadore, North Fork, and Salmon.

The combined forest headquarters are located in Salmon, Idaho.

Climate
There is a weather station at Middle Fork Lodge, which is on the western edge of Salmon–Challis National Forest.

Wilderness areas
There are two officially designated wilderness areas within Salmon–Challis National Forest that are part of the National Wilderness Preservation System. Both extend into neighboring National Forests or onto lands of the Bureau of Land Management.
 * Frank Church—River of No Return Wilderness (partly in Payette NF, Boise NF, Bitterroot NF, Nez Perce NF, or BLM land). The Salmon–Challis NF is the largest component (39.59%) of this wilderness if they are considered as one forest; otherwise, if the Challis NF and the Salmon NF are considered separately, the Payette NF (33.45%) becomes the largest component.
 * Jim McClure–Jerry Peak Wilderness (most is managed by Salmon–Challis National Forest, while part is managed by the Bureau of Land Management)
 * Sawtooth Wilderness (only about 5.5% of this wilderness lies with Salmon–Challis NF; most of it lies within Boise NF; part of it lies within Sawtooth NF; all of it is managed by Sawtooth National Forest)
