Retaliation
Sending death threats to someone because you don't like the way they referee is beyond ghastly. To describe the sending of such threats as "retaliation" because you're a Chelsea fan and don't think he was helpful enough to your side is utterly stupid; it's not merely nonsense, but it's also a violation of our neutrality policy, unencyclopaedic in tone, and subtly suggests that death threats were an appropriate response. What's your justification for wanting to change the existing, neutral, tone of the article to full-on "ohh, it was retaliation" mode? fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 02:21, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I think for you, there is no room for discussion, that's why you keep changing it to your own version. I think I have used the most appropriate wording possible. I use 'alleged' instead of 'accused', and whether you like it or not, I maintain that 'reteliation' is the right word to use. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 219.78.201.209 (talk • contribs) 00:53, 20 February 2006.

 * Why is "retaliation" the right word to use? My dictionary (okay, the one dictionary I bothered to look up; I can check about a dozen if you'd like) describes "retaliation" as "payment in kind", or, "to get revenge".  This is utterly incorrect, since there was nothing wrong with how Frisk refereed the match, and even if there was, a poor refereeing performance is not subject to "revenge" from angry fans.  To say otherwise is a) wrong, and we strive to be accurate here on Wikipedia, b) biased, since it gives undue weight to the point of view that death threats to a football referee are appropriate if you're a Chelsea fan, and c) (as has recently been pointed out to both of us), original research, or, in other words, stuff you made up.  You could at least provide a reputable source for your words. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 03:42, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

I fully understand what 'retaliation' means you didn't need to tell me. I think you should focus on the motives why fans retaliate, rather than whether it is right or wrong act or inappropriate or whatever.

I don't think I have ever suggested Frisk 'did something wrong'. Even if he did, FIFA would deal with him, NOT the fans. That's first point.

Second, no one should subject to 'revenge' and no one deserves death threat and that has always been my position.

But there were always reasons or motives behind the 'death threats' were made. People don't make death threats for fun and it's a serious criminal act. It's very hard not to believe there is no relation between 'death threats' and 'revenge' or 'retaliation', as you have been proclaiming.

In fact, I find that some people (presumably Chelsea fans) and people like you using Wikipedia as a platform trying so hard to play down the seriousness of this event and not let the truth to be told or published in Wikipedia. I want to say, I am gutted, because people reading this article, have been reading the 'Chelsea die-hard fans' version of the story, but not the truth. So, probably, you have forgotten to change your Bio telling others you have become a Chelsea glory hunter.

If I was ever a Chelsea fan, I would think this 'death threat saga' was a 'smear campaign' on my club.

But death threats were real. They were neither Frisk's fantasy or invention. And I am just so angry that, in here Wikipedia people like you deny the fact and truth the 'death threats' were linked to Chelsea fans or trying so hard to invent 'Chelsea fans' own version of the story or to manipulate the truth. And you guys have been trying hard to let the readers remember you as a 'neutral' contributor, or would rather be called 'hypocrite' (while accepting the truth but choose not to tell it in the article)

In summary, I am just reporting on the fact that people don't make death threats for no reason. And to YOU and those who insist to manipulate the truth and try so hard to stop the truth to be told, I just want to say: a person can pretend to be neutral and also hypocrital. But a fact is a fact, a truth is a truth. The action of sending death threats is an act which usually regarded as retaliation, if otherwise, you justify yourself before me. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 219.78.201.209 (talk • contribs) 22:29, 20 February 2006.

 * "You justify yourself before me"? You should probably look over your comments here before saving them, maybe read them aloud in future, just in case.

 * My objection is not to the "Chelsea fan" theory, but to the description of the death-threat-senders as people "retaliating" against the evil referee who wronged them. If you can find a reputable source, I'd be more than happy to see the Chelsea theory included; it's the one I've heard most often myself.  Suggested phrasings include "Chelsea fans upset over Frisk's performance" and "fuckwits who wouldn't know a game of football if they were on the receiving end of a Barthez Flying Death Kick blamed the ref because they're silly sausages". fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 11:56, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

 * I cannot see how you can be reasoned because you just don't accept other people's view. And it is very obvious that you shun to respond to much I have said in my previous post.

 * 'Retaliation' is an act responding to past event. I wouldn't understand if Chelsea fans sent those 'death threats' for no reason.

 * I don't think you read what I have written properly or you just find yourself unable to rebut me. You cannot even convince yourself what you have said never mind others.

 * If you insist to manipulate the truth and do it your own way as if you rule Wikipedia, change it back to your so-called "original research" then. And you should be ashamed for all the excuses you have made.

 * Anyway, wastes my time to reason a daft prick. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 219.78.201.209 (talk • contribs) 23:30, 20 February 2006.

 * "Retaliation" is not "an act responding to past event"; it's an attempt at revenge. It is possible to describe the threats without using the word "retaliation", and even to explain the (quite probably true) rumour that Chelsea fans were behind the threats (provided you can get a reputable source).  As for the rest, please read WP:NPOV and WP:NOR, and if you get time have a punt at WP:NPA as well.  They'll give you a hint as to what I and the others who have reverted you repeatedly on this article are talking about. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 14:12, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

In response
Never mind. Change it back to your very own version then.

Well......sorry, I just don't think you have the capability to rebut others. So, take care of yourself before correcting others. And just because you are an administrator doesn't mean you are always right and you are more superior than the others.

I can understand why anti-Frisk campaigners don't want people to think 'death threaths' were retaliation or revenge. It is a truth rather than to smear them. Anyway, shame on you and other chelsea fans.

 * Uhh ... I never mentioned being an administrator here, and I'm certainly not a Chelsea fan. I think you're inventing a few things that I've never asserted here. fuddlemark (fuddle me!)

Biased or just bad language
I have removed some poor use of language in the final paragraph. "Chelsea manager José Mourinho publicly accused Frisk of having (irregularly) invited Barça manager Frank Rijkaard into his room at half-time." passes judgement on the accusation (which in later paragraphs is shown to have some merit) and is effectively original research. The validity of the accusation in UEFA's eyes should be kept seperate.

The second example is "Apparently Frisk properly told him". 'Apparently' isn't a word that should appear in professional or academic pieces and the use of "properly" is again passing judgement. This would be acceptable for a quote, not for the main text of the article. Abigsmurf 14:20, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Kate Howey

Kate Louise Howey (born 31 May 1973 in Andover, Hampshire, England) is a former elite British judoka. She remains the only British woman to have won two Olympic judo medals (silver at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, and bronze at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona) and shares with fellow Olympic medalist Karina Bryant the record of being the only British judoka to have competed at four Olympic Games.

Biography
Howey was born in Andover, Hampshire, and took up judo at the age of seven. In 1989, she became champion of Great Britain, winning the middleweight (66 kg) division at the British Judo Championships. The following year in 1990, she won her first international medal when taking a silver medal at the 1990 European Judo Championships in Frankfurt.

In 1991, she won the bronze medal at the 1991 World Judo Championships, in Barcelona and the silver medal at the 1991 European Judo Championships in Prague. The year 1992 saw her first of four appearances at the Olympic Games. In the women's 66 kg she reached the semi-finals only to lose out to eventual gold medal winner Odalis Revé, however she managed to win the repechage to claim a bronze medal. In 1993, she won her third consecutive (and fourth) British title.

Howey continued to participate in most major championships, winning a World championship silver and European championship bronze in 1993 at the heavier weight of 72 kg, and two more bronze medals at the 1994 European Judo Championships and 1995 European Judo Championships.

In 1996, Howey was selected for her second Olympic Games reaching the quarter-finals where she was defeated by eventual silver medalist Yoko Tanabe of Japan. Howey recorded her best result in 1997 following a drop back down in weight category to 66 kg. At the 1997 World Judo Championships in Paris, she won the gold medal after defeating Anja von Rekowski in the final. Also in 1997 she won another European bronze and was awarded the MBE for services to judo.

After a seventh European Championships medal and a fifth British title in 1998, she trained at the University of Bath. In 1999, she was unable to retain her World title but gained compensation with a bronze medal and the following year she won a European silver in May, before she went to her third Olympics. At the 2000 Summer Olympics she competed in the women's 70 kg and performed superbly reaching the final where she lost out to Sibelis Veranes for the gold medal. In 2001, she won a silver medal at the 2001 World Judo Championships, in Munich and won her sixth and final British title in 2002. Also in 2002 she was left out of the Commonwealth Games squad in favour of Samantha Lowe and would never get the opportunity to take part in a Commonwealth Games. Howey was shocked at her omission and would likely have won gold but Lowe did go on to win gold for England. Her final major appearance was at the 2004 Summer Olympics, in Athens, where she was honored to bear the national flag at the opening ceremony. She announced her retirement from competition on 27 October 2004, having competed for 16 years. Following her retirement, she continued as a coach (Head Coach 2018) for the British Judo Association, she coached Gemma Gibbons to silver at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, ending her nation's wait for an Olympic medal in the sport that had stretched back to her own silver in 2000. By contrast, having waited 12 years for Olympic medal, only 24 hours later, her now-veteran former teammate, Karina Bryant also won a bronze medal.

Beauchief and Greenhill

Beauchief and Greenhill ward—which includes the districts of Batemoor, Beauchief, Chancet Wood, Greenhill, Jordanthorpe, Lowedges and Meadowhead—is one of the 28 electoral wards in the City of Sheffield, England. It is in the southern part of the city and covers an area of 2.4 sqmi. The population of the ward in 2016 was estimated to be 19,669 people in 9,209 houses.

It is one of the five wards that form the Sheffield Heeley parliamentary constituency.

The districts of this ward were in the historic county of Derbyshire, but they were annexed into the county borough of Sheffield in 1934, associated with the West Riding of Yorkshire, and were therefore included in the metropolitan county of South Yorkshire in 1974.

Parks and recreation
About a third of the area of the ward is taken up by the grounds of Beauchief Abbey and Beauchief Hall. These include Ladies' Spring Wood, Parkbank Wood, Beauchief Park, and two golf courses. Also within the ward are Hutcliffe Wood and Chancet Wood.

Schools
Schools in this ward include Meadowhead School, Greenhill Primary, Lower Meadow Primary Academy and Lowedges Junior Academy.

Beauchief
Beauchief  is a former village that has become a suburb of Sheffield. It lies on a hill above the River Sheaf and the Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet.

Beauchief is notable for two buildings, still surrounded by parkland: Beauchief Abbey and Beauchief Hall.

Beauchief Abbey
Beauchief Abbey was built in 1183 by the canons who had mills on the River Sheaf and a sheep grange on Strawberry Lee. It was named Beau meaning beautiful and chief meaning headland.

The abbey was founded in 1175, Beauchief Abbey was the only Premonstratensian abbey in the West Riding of Yorkshire.

In c. 1300 the Chaworth family donated the whole village of Greenhill to the monastery at Beauchief.

The ruined abbey buildings were dismantled to provide stone for the construction of Beauchief Hall in 1671 with the exception of the bell tower. The tower area was converted into the Pegge family chapel, the interior displays several armorial plaques of Pegge family members.

The carp pond is well known spot for local anglers. The ponds are also frequented by heron and other waterfowl.

Beauchief abbey farm was built around 1700. The farm, as well as its pond, fed the monks.

The path up to Bradway passes near Beauchief Hall.

Beauchief Abbey House
Beauchief Abbey House is a group of houses on Beauchief Abbey Lane. It is situated at the bottom of the lane in view of the abbey. The barn adjacent to Beauchief Abbey House has been identified as dating from the early 16th century and a modern house in limestone and steel has been built next to the main house. Archaeological work has been made in the grounds of house but not yet been published.

Beauchief Hall
Beauchief Hall is a large manor house on the high ground of Beauchief. The house was built in 1671 by Edward Pegge of the Ashbourne family who had acquired the estate by marriage to Gertrude Strelley in 1648. Pegge served as Sheriff of Derbyshire in 1667 whilst resident in Pegge's cottage the house adjacent to the current hall. A fireplace in the hall shows a bust of Edward Pegge with the arms of the Pegge and Strelley families, the fireplace is said to have been a gift from the Mundy family.

The hall and grounds passed from the family with the sale of the property by Edward Strelley Pegge Burnell in 1923. Ending Joseph Hunter's statement in Hallamshire 1819 that "We have in this family an instance, which by some has been supposed rare, of the direct descendants of the original grantee possessing and residing upon the abbey-lands granted to their ancestor"

From 1923 the house served as a school (De la Salle College), In 1958, the Hall and grounds were acquired by the De La Salle College, the grounds being used as playing fields for the college boys. For six years, the Hall was on lease to the Beauchief Independent Grammar School for Girls, and was subsequently a hotel. The hall itself is now in private ownership. Some outhouses have been turned into private houses and other businesses and organisations own the remaining buildings on the site.

Beauchief also had a railway station on Abbey Lane. See Beauchief railway station for full article.

Greenhill
Greenhill ( or ) is a suburb of Sheffield, England. Nearby settlements include Bradway, Meadowhead, Abbeydale and Woodseats.

Historic Greenhill village is a Conservation Area comprising one of the most complete set of 18th & 19th century buildings in South Yorkshire. It follows the route of the ridgeway route from Gleadless to Calver.

Extensive building on the 20th century linked Greenhill to Abbey Lane and to Woodseats. Extensive housing developments in the 1930s were added to in the 1950s and 1960s when the primary school, the library and St Peter’s. Church were all built. The main shopping area was created on Bocking Lane at this time.

The Greenhill Hall site of 220 acres was virgin country in 1952, but the area was populated with 3176 dwellings by 1962 during the redevelopment of post-war Sheffield by J. L. Womersley's town planning department. This area is known as Lowedges but history is traced by the name Greenhill Park which is in Lowedges, and now marks the very southern boundary of Sheffield. This comprised a diversity of homes, including bed-sitting room flats for single occupants to four-bedroom houses, two shopping centres, a primary school, a residential home and a health centre. The neighbourhood contains some groups of houses designed on Radburn principles to separate the inhabitants from traffic.

Greenhill has a library, primary school, church and shops. There are also several bus routes which service the area including the 76, 86, 25, 25A, M17 and 293; the last service of which even goes into Derbyshire.

Chancet Wood
Chancet Wood is part of the Meadowhead area, it consists mainly of a housing estate and a woodland area with the same name. In its area is a caterers, a nursery, a children's centre and primary school. The area has its own football team Chancet Wood F.C. which is part of The FA Sheffield & District Fair Play League.

Low Edges
Low Edges has some 3,000 homes and is located at the southern edge of the city on the boundary with Derbyshire. It was built on the grounds of Greenhill Hall (now demolished) which gave its name to Greenhill Park in Low Edges which marks the southern boundary of Sheffield. Low Edges is formed of council and private houses and flats as well as a good selection of shops and one public house, The Grennel Mower.

The original name "Low Edges" was given to a farm located on the east side of the Sheffield to Derby Turnpike, now called Chesterfield Road. The farm itself was made up of several strips, located on both sides of the Turnpike which had in their names the word Lowedge. "Lowedge" in this context, is a description rather than a name, "low" being the Derbyshire name for a hill and "edge", meaning just that, a strip on the edge of a hill or low. Renting some of these strips and bring them together into a single farming unit would have prompted the tenant, one William Webster, to call this new farm "Low Edges".

Low Edges is home to the Transport Recreation Ground, Low Edges Fire Station, Greenhill Park, Greenhill and Bradway Youth Club, a Tenants' Meeting Hall, and three churches. It is also home to The Terminus Initiative formed by the co-operation of four local churches to build an organisation capable of helping residents engage in projects and activities and provide help where needed. The Terminus Initiative runs The Terminus Cafe, a regular meeting place for residents run by volunteers, and offers a range of services in partnership with Sheffield Council. It is a world-renowned venture and has been visited by delegations from both UK based and overseas organisations.

A map of Greenhill derived from a survey made by W & J Fairbank in 1804 and 1805 shows and names the strips. Five of the seven strips rented by William Webster include the word Lowedge. In addition, the map depicts a "Lowedge Lane" running adjacent to the east of those strips. In total there are nine fields shown with Lowedge in their name. The strip names were made up of an additional descriptor, such as "Long", "Top", "Nether", "Upper", "Five Acre" and "Four Acre". It is possible that more strips existed to the east of Lowedge Lane, that being the eastern extent of the map. The map is available from Sheffield City Libraries.

A single row of terrace houses along the west side of the southern part of Chesterfield Road forms one of the most southerly groups of buildings in Sheffield, and is the second place to carry the name Low Edges. This terrace of houses was built between 1905 and 1910 when Low Edges Farm still existed. When the terrace was built the name Low Edges became the name of this hamlet, including both the farm and the houses.

Local Transport – First South Yorkshire 76 (Shiregreen–Low Edges via City Centre) and 24 (Woodhouse–Low Edges–Bradway via City Centre but only goes to Bradway evenings and all day Sunday) terminate at Low Edges Terminus. These are high frequency buses during the day time.

Batemoor
Batemoor is a housing estate in the south of Sheffield. It is located to the southeast of Greenhill and borders Lowedges, Jordanthorpe and Dronfield.

The estate was built circa 1964, and consists largely of prefabricated flat-roofed housing, along with blocks of maisonettes/flats.

It borders on the Derbyshire countryside and farming country, being only a couple of miles from the villages of Coal Aston and Holmesfield and on the edge of the town of Dronfield.

The estate is served by First South Yorkshire 75 (Shiregreen – Jordanthorpe) and Stagecoach 1 (High Green – Jordanthorpe).

Sheffield Artist Pete McKee grew up on Batemoor and still lives in the area.

Batemoor is home to Lower Meadow Primary Academy which is located on Batemoor Road and can be accessed via public transport. It is also home to Meadowhead School which is located on Dyche Lane toward the top end of Batemoor.

Jordanthorpe
Jordanthorpe is located to the east of Batemoor and south of Norton. It is a housing estate consisting of houses and flats. Jordanthorpe is surrounded by 3 main roads; Dyche Lane which separates Jordanthorpe and Batemoor, this road leads towards Dronfield and Norton. The A6102 (Bochum Parkway) runs north and connects to Lowedges, Greenhill and Meadowhead. The final main road is Jordanthorpe Parkway, this road surrounds the remaining area of Jordanthorpe and runs underneath Batemoor, it connects the A6102 to the A61.

Jordanthorpe Centre is a shopping area located between Dyche Road and Dyche Lane. It includes a hair salon, convenience stores (Heron Foods and Nisa Jordanthorpe Food & Wine), a Chinese takeaway, a fish and chip shop and a Post Office. Just outside of the centre is the Jordanthorpe Health Centre and White Willows (Assisted Living Residence). White Willows is located on the site of the former Jordanthorpe Complex, it consisted of 3 tower blocks, each 15 storeys tall, named; Chantry (demolished in 2012), Ramsey and Rhodes (Demolished in 2001).

To the north along the A6102 is the St James Retail Park, sited on the grounds of the former Sheffield College Norton Campus and just across the road from Meadowhead School.

Just next to St James Retail Park is the new Graves Health and Sports Centre. Its facilities include a Gym, Pools, Studios, Tennis Courts and a Gymnastics and Trampolining Hall.

In recent years there have been multiple housing developments; A new block of houses was built around Dyche Drive which includes private parking for residents. In 2017/18 a row of 4 houses was built at the corner of Dyche Road and Dyche Close.

Public transport is provided by First South Yorkshire Route 75 (Shiregreen – Jordanthorpe) and Stagecoach Route 1 (High Green – Jordanthorpe), both of these buses go through the city centre. This is a high-frequency bus during day time.

Meadowhead
Meadowhead, lies east of Beauchief and north of Greenhill at. There is a Morrisons supermarket, along with two primary schools: Abbey Lane and St Thomas of Canterbury (Catholic).

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ed Dames

 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 delete. – ABCD 20:16, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Ed Dames
Delete IP 213.100.120.54 is Ed Dames. He is using Wiki for shameless commercial self promotion. The bio is a simple copy and paste from his website. Wiki is not here to boost book sales, sell private tuition courses, or provide vanity spots for people like Ed Dames. Oh I forgot, Ed is now trying to flog DVDs off his website. Add that to the list. Timharwoodx 20:17, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Remote viewing teachers may be notable, but if this article is copied from his website it's a copyvio. If he's posting himself it's advertising. Delete and make room for a real article. Mgm|(talk) 21:33, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)

Exactly. Either way, its a black and white violation of terms. Note the links to the commercial sites at the bottom. Blatant self promotion. Timharwoodx 22:12, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * The United States Government has made their position on remote viewing well-known. To paraphrase it: Delete. --Asriel86 01:02, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Casino game

Took "Poker" Off the List
Fundamentally different than the games described - the player is not betting against the house and an immutable house edge, but instead other players where his edge is fluid.

Is this article correctly named?
Aren't most of the games listed really table games? Vegaswikian 20:18, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Standard deviation
It states in the article that there is a 0.1 % chance of losing more than $10.01 if you play 10 rounds betting $1 each time. This is clearly wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.250.155.204 (talk) 08:07, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Casino War
Is this really a casino game? Have not seen or heard of it. Vegaswikian 19:27, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes. It is not very popular, the house advantage is high. Accurizer 21:38, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Solitaire
Don't casinos in Monte Carlo offer Klondike Solitaire as a casino game?

Volatility Index
The article mentions that the sqaure of the volatility index is the statistical quantity variance. This is not true. Variance is (Particluar Payout - Average Payout)^2 * chance of Particular Payout summed across all payouts. In the case of double zero roulette it is (1 + 2/38)^2 * (18/38) + (-1 + 2/38)^2 * (20/38) = 0.997. The quality PQ, which is listed as the "volatility index" is not particularly meaninful for most casino games, as few games are simply binomial win/lose. I recommend removing the whole discussion and instead listing standard deviation per hand/spin and variance (square of standard deviation). —Preceding unsigned comment added by NolanAlex (talk • contribs) 22:02, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

War of the Stray Dog
Delete. Can find no reference. Can anyone prove it existed and isn't just made up? --SqueakBox 20:23, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC)

Keep as verified and in much better shape than when found (which fully justifies the Vfd), --SqueakBox 20:49, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)

 * just removed the Vfd from here, --SqueakBox 21:23, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)

Keep - League of Nations has a bit more on this border war (section 5.5). Googling returned a couple other references to this incident, and. Also found various timelines around the web that mentioned a Greco-Bulgarian conflict in 1925. Looks real. --Chris Johnson 00:55, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep if verified. Sounds like a conflict of the same order as the Pig War or the Caroline Affair. --Carnildo 23:04, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Sealink

Sealink was a ferry company based in the United Kingdom from 1970 to 1984, operating services to France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Isle of Man, Channel Islands, Isle of Wight and Ireland.

Ports served by the company included: Dover, Folkestone, Newhaven, Southampton and Harwich for services to the European continent; Holyhead, Fishguard, Heysham and Stranraer for services to Ireland and the Isle of Man; Weymouth and Portsmouth for services to the Channel Islands. The Isle of Wight was also served from Portsmouth and Lymington.

Sealink also operated the Steamer passenger ferry services on Windermere in Cumbria until privatisation, when these were passed to the newly reformed Windermere Iron Steamboat Company (now Windermere Lake Cruises Ltd).

History
Sealink was originally the brand name for the ferry services of British Rail in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Services to France, Belgium and the Netherlands were run by Sealink UK as part of the Sealink consortium which also used ferries owned by French national railways (SNCF), the Belgian Maritime Transport Authority Regie voor Maritiem Transport/Regie des transports maritimes (RMT/RTM) and the Dutch Stoomvaart Maatschappij Zeeland (Zeeland Steamship Company).

Historically, the shipping services were exclusively an extension of the railways across the English Channel and the Irish Sea in order to provide through, integrated services to Europe and Ireland. As international travel became more popular in the late 1960s and before air travel became generally affordable, the responsibility for shipping services was taken away from the British Rail Regions and in 1969 centralised in a new division – British Rail Shipping and International Services Division.

With the advent of car ferry services, the old passenger-only ferries were gradually replaced by roll-on/roll-off ships, catering for motorists and rail passengers as well as road freight. However, given that there was now competition in the form of other ferry companies offering crossings to motorists, it became necessary to market the services in a normal business fashion (as opposed to the previous almost monopolistic situation). Thus, with the other partners mentioned above, the brand name Sealink was introduced for the consortium.

In November 1970, Belgium Marine joined the Sealink consortium with five car ferries and six passenger ships.

As demand for international rail travel declined and the shipping business became almost exclusively dependent on passenger and freight vehicle traffic, the ferry business was incorporated as Sealink UK Limited on 1 January 1979, a wholly owned subsidiary of the British Railways Board (BRB), but still part of the Sealink consortium. In 1979, Sealink acquired Manx Line which offered services to the Isle of Man from Heysham.

On 27 July 1984 the UK Government sold Sealink UK Limited to Sea Containers for £66m. The company was renamed Sealink British Ferries. In 1991, Sea Containers sold Sealink British Ferries to Stena Line. The sale excluded the operations of Hoverspeed, the Isle of Wight services and the share in the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company, as well as the Port of Heysham. The new owners rebranded the company as Sealink Stena Line, then again a few years later to Stena Sealink Line.

In 1996, the Sealink name disappeared when the UK services were re-branded as Stena Line. The agreement with the SNCF on the Dover to Calais route also ended at this time and the French-run Sealink services were rebranded as SeaFrance.

Livery
Prior to 1964/65 the colours were black hull, white upperworks and black-topped buff funnel.

From 1972/73 Sealink was displayed in white Rail Alphabet typeface on the side of the hull.

The livery from 1984 to 1995 was a distinctive blue-on-white. Previously, the British Rail double arrow logo had been used, with a BR corporate monastral blue hull, white upperworks and black-topped red funnel.

A reversed version of the BR symbol was used on one side of Sealink ship's funnels and flags. This was so that the 'top' arrow was always pointing towards the bow of the ship on funnels, and for flags towards the flag staff.

British Rail owned ships had red funnels with a white logo. Elsewhere in Sealink the symbol was white on blue.

Hovercraft
In the 1960s, British Rail started hovercraft services from Dover to Calais and Boulogne-sur-Mer, and also across the Solent to the Isle of Wight. Rather than use the name Sealink, the services were marketed as Seaspeed and Solent Seaspeed. Seaspeed merged with rival Hoverlloyd in 1981 to form Hoverspeed.

Patrick Connolly

Patrick James Connolly (25 May 1927 – 7 January 2016) was an Irish barrister who served as Attorney General of Ireland from March 1982 to August 1982.

Early life and career
Connolly was born on 25 May 1927, the elder of the two sons of a headmaster and a teacher in Fingal, in Dublin. He was educated at St Joseph's College, University College Dublin and the King's Inns, after which he was called to the Bar in 1949. His practice, which focused on personal injury cases, was widely successful. On 9 March 1982, Taoiseach Charles Haughey named him as Attorney General of Ireland.

MacArthur Scandal
Connolly resigned on 17 August 1982 after Malcolm MacArthur, who had been a house-guest of Connolly's, was arrested for murder. MacArthur, the domestic partner of Connolly's friend Brenda Little, had committed a horrific double murder in the midst of a botched carjacking and robbery in 1982. Though Connolly was not implicated in the murder or in knowingly harbouring the assassin, he was forced to resign at midnight the night of MacArthur's arrest and never again served in government.

Later life and death
Connolly returned to practice at the Irish bar and to work as a senior counsel in Dublin. Connolly died aged 88 on 7 January 2016. Though he never married, he had a very close relationship with his extended family, including his nephew and two nieces who spoke at his funeral Mass. He was buried in Deansgrange Cemetery.

Sister Mary Grace Burns Arboretum

The Sister Mary Grace Burns Arboretum, on the campus of Georgian Court University, in Lakewood Township, New Jersey, United States, was once the landscaped park for the winter home of George Jay Gould, millionaire son of railroad tycoon Jay Gould.

History
In 1896, architect Bruce Price was hired to transform the land into the replica of a Georgian country house. Since the sandy soils of the New Jersey Pine Barrens were not suitable for cultivating exotic plants, 5,000 cartloads of fine loam were brought to Georgian Court from neighboring Monmouth County. Bruce Price designed three of the four major gardens: the Italian Garden, the Sunken Garden, and the Formal Garden. Takeo Shiota designed the Japanese Garden.

Today's arboretum, established in 1989, is named after Sister Mary Grace Burns, former professor of biology, and comprises the entire campus of 62 ha (155 acres). In addition to many exotic species, the arboretum features a good collection of native plants of the New Jersey Pine Barrens. Most notable are the very large and old oaks and Pitch Pines (Pinus rigida).

The Formal Garden is an elliptical flower garden ringed with American Holly (Ilex opaca), Eastern White Pine (Pinus strobus), Norway Spruce (Picea abies), Sawara Cypress (Chamaecyparis pisifera), Manitoba Maple (Acer negundo), Copper Beech (Fagus sylvatica), Common Horse-chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum), and White Ash (Fraxinus americana), as well as rose mullein, white daisies, primroses, black-eyed susans, daylilies, purple veronica, balloon flowers, verbena, asters, chrysanthemums, and an assortment of annuals.

Founders' Grove includes Franklinia (Franklinia alatamaha), Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides), Japanese White Pine (Pinus parviflora), Weeping Norway Spruce (Picea abies cv. 'Pendula'), Pagoda Tree (Styphnolobium japonicum), Serbian Spruce (Picea omorika), and Sourwood (Oxydendrum arboreum). Trees added in subsequent years include American Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), Common Hackberry (Celtis occidentalis), Common Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana), Osage-orange (Maclura pomifera), and Green Ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica).

The Italian Garden features a Fountain of Apollo, a wrought iron eagle statue purchased from the Paris Exposition of 1900, life-size statues of Greek gods and goddesses, floral urns mounted on marble pedestals, and two semi-circular pergolas with Tuscan columns, marble benches and statuary. Most trees are conifers, and include Blue Pine (Pinus wallichiana), Eastern White Pine (Pinus strobus), Pitch Pine, Shortleaf Pine (Pinus echinata), Blue Spruce (Picea pungens), Eastern Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis), Chinese Arborvitae (Platycladus orientalis), Eastern Juniper (Juniperus virginiana), Chinese Juniper (Juniperus chinensis), Eastern Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis), Hinoki Cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa) and Sawara Cypress, Mediterranean Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens), and Stone Pine (Pinus pinea).

The Japanese Garden contains a stately Koyamaki (Sciadopitys verticillata) on the island in the center of the garden, Japanese Yew (Taxus cuspidata), Japanese Cherry (Prunus serrulata), Hinoki Cypress, Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum), and Weeping Higan Cherry (Prunus subhirtella), as well as irises (Iris spp.), Rhododendron (Rhododendron spp.), and Laburnum (Laburnum anagyroides).

The Sunken Garden, with lagoon connecting it to Lake Carasaljo, features a 17th-century marble fountain from southern France, a double marble staircase flanked by lions, and carved marble benches which are copies of the benches in the Vatican Garden. The lagoon connects to Lake Carasaljo under a bridge also designed by Bruce Price, restored in 1999. The Sunken Garden features azaleas (Rhododendron spp.), Sawara Cypress, myrtle, and Eastern Redbud (Cercis canadensis).

Islam Hadhari

Islam Hadhari (Arabic الإسلام الحضاري) or "Civilisational Islam" is a theory of government based on the principles of Islam as derived from the Qur'an. It was founded in Malaysia by its first prime minister Tunku Abdul Rahman in 1957 (but under a different name), and has been promoted by successive Malaysian governments, in particular, by ex-Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

Overview
Islam Hadhari should not be viewed as just the renewal of the old concept Islam Madani or Islam Hadhari as practised by the Islamic prophet Muhammad and his companions centuries ago. It should be viewed as the renewal of the old concept, in tandem to the modern era needs, on the relevancy of the Islamic maxims of the teaching of Islam to help solve the problems or issues of the modern Muslim ummah today (Ibrahim JCH, 2007). The concept or slogan 'Islam Hadhari' was officially launched in 2004 by the then Prime Minister of Malaysia, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi (2004-2009).

In spite of that, its main principles, such as, believing and obeying (taqwa) towards Allah, fair and just government system, independence of soul (of the people), acquisition of knowledge, balance and comprehensive economic development, quality standard of life, protection of women's rights and minority group, uphold morality and ethics, and so on – are in accordance with the teaching of the Quran and Sunnah.

Islam Hadhari is not a new religion, or a new school of thought, as propounded or reflected by some antagonism. Islam Hadhari is also not a new sect. Islam Hadhari is an effort to bring Muslims to the fundamentals contained in the Quran and Sunnah (Hadith), which are the core orientation of Islam Hadhari. Islam Hadhari is true if interpreted and understood clearly, and should not be diverted or misunderstood in any way (Ibrahim JCH, 2007; Mohd Azizuddin, 2010).

As a government responsible for protecting the sanctity of Islam and Muslims without slipping ensure that faith can face the challenges and realities of the current, open the door to ijtihad so that interpretation can be associated with the inherited form and pattern of development according to time and from place to place. It should be reviewed various approaches and methodologies for streamlined to be more balanced and comprehensive, covering the development of infrastructure and economic development, strengthen the human development through a comprehensive education program, is complemented by the development program to instill spiritual values and values Islam in life (Mohd Azizuddin, 2010).

Defining Islam Hadhari
The word Islam Hadhari consists of two words, Islam and Hadhari. Further contemplation of the concept of Islam Hadhari needs one to dichotomise the word Islam and Hadhari.

The word Islam (Ibrahim JCH, 2007):

 * Literal meanings:
 * Submission, surrender, obedience, acknowledgement, approval, and the acceptance of Allah. (Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah 2:208)
 * سلام (salam), the root word for the word Islam, means peace, tranquility. (Quran, Surah Al-Anfal 8:61)
 * Technical meanings:
 * A religion that stands for the complete submission and obedience to Allah to achieve real peace of body and mind. (Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah, 2: 136; Mawdudi, 1992)
 * A divine religion (Quran, Surah Ash-Shaff 61:9), a religion of all Prophets. (Quran, Surah Al-Imran 3:84 & Al-Baqarah 2:136)

The word Hadhari (Ibrahim JCH, 2007):

 * The word 'hadhari' or 'madani' means township, city, urban. Also means modern, contemporary.
 * The word 'hadhaari' or 'hadhariyah' means civilisation, that is civilisation which follows the teaching of Islam.

Thus, in essence, the word Islam Hadhari concisely refers to 'Islamic Civilisation' or 'Civilisation of Islam'. Hence, Islamic Civilisation demands its followers to be the best of example for mankind, to other Muslim, and also to non-Muslim. As said in the Qur'an:

‘You are the best of nation (people) evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in Allah.’ (Quran, Surah Al-Imran 3:110)

Additionally, the Arabic word حضارة (ḥaḍāra, from which 'Hadhari' is derived) refers to both 'civilisation' and 'settled life' or 'sedentariness' (i.e. not being nomadic), so that the term Islam Hadhari implicitly contrasts itself with the Islam of nomads or bedouin.

Principles of Islam Hadhari
It consists of 10 fundamental principles.

 * Faith and piety in Allah
 * Just and trustworthy government
 * Freedom and independence to the people
 * Mastery of knowledge
 * Balanced and comprehensive economic development
 * Good quality of life for all
 * Protection of the rights of minority groups and women
 * Cultural and moral integrity
 * Protection of the environment
 * A strong defence policy

Islam Hadhari calls for Muslim to be progressive, modern and dynamic (in thinking and practice), which essentially encompasses the sphere of economy, politics, social, cultural, educational, defence, astronomy, and so on. Yet, Muslims are taught to be moderate in their behaviour and attitude, such that they should not indulge in excessive actions or extremism in their zeal to be the best of example for mankind - ‘Moderation in behaviour and attitude, yet dynamic and progressive in thinking and practice.’ (Ibrahim JCH, 2007). As said in the Qur'an:

'Thus, We have made of you an ummah justly balanced, that ye might be witnessed unto others ... ’ (Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah 2:143)

Literature
Islamic Hadhari is based on exactly the same principles as Islamic Shariah. The best practice to follow is the Quran and Sunnah, just like the Shariah stipulates.

Juliet Stevenson

Juliet Anne Virginia Stevenson, (born 30 October 1956) is an English actress of stage and screen. She is known for her role in the film Truly, Madly, Deeply (1991), for which she was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role. Her other film appearances include Emma (1996), Bend It Like Beckham (2002), Mona Lisa Smile (2003), Being Julia (2004), Infamous (2006), The Enfield Haunting (2015), Wolf (2023), and Reawakening (2024).

In theatre, she has starred in numerous Royal Shakespeare Company and National Theatre productions, including Olivier Award nominated roles in Measure for Measure (1984), Les Liaisons Dangereuses (1986), and Yerma (1987). For her role as Paulina in Death and the Maiden (1991–92), she won the 1992 Olivier Award for Best Actress. Her fifth Olivier nomination was for her work in the 2009 revival of Duet for One. She has also received three nominations for the BAFTA TV Award for Best Actress: for A Doll's House (1992), The Politician's Wife (1995) and Accused (2010). Other stage roles include The Heretic (2011) and Happy Days (2014).

Early life
Stevenson was born in Kelvedon, Essex, England, the daughter of Virginia Ruth (née Marshall), a teacher, and Michael Guy Stevenson, an army officer. Stevenson's father was assigned a new posting every two and a half years. When Stevenson was nine, she attended Berkshire's Hurst Lodge School in Ascot, and she was later educated at the independent St Catherine's School in Bramley, near Guildford, Surrey, and at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA). Stevenson was part of the 'new wave' of actors to emerge from the Academy. Others included Jonathan Pryce, Bruce Payne, Alan Rickman, Anton Lesser, Kenneth Branagh, Imelda Staunton and Fiona Shaw. This led to a stage career starting in 1978 with the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Career
Although she has gained fame through her television and film work and has often undertaken roles for BBC Radio, she is known as a stage actress. Significant stage roles include her performances as Isabella in Measure for Measure, Madame de Tourvel in Les Liaisons Dangereuses, Anna in the UK premiere of Burn This in 1990 and Paulina in Death and the Maiden at the Royal Court theatre and the West End (1991–92). For the last she was awarded the 1992 Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress.

In the 1987 TV film Life Story, Stevenson played the part of scientist Rosalind Franklin, for which she won a Cable Ace award. She played the leading role in the Anthony Minghella film Truly, Madly, Deeply (1991) and her roles in The Secret Rapture (1993), Emma (1996), Bend It Like Beckham (2002) and Mona Lisa Smile (2003). She has more recently starred in Pierrepoint (2006), Infamous (2006) as Diana Vreeland and Breaking and Entering (2006) as Rosemary, the therapist. In 2003, she played the mother of an autistic child in the television film Hear the Silence, a film promoting the now debunked claims of Andrew Wakefield that the MMR vaccine was responsible for autism in children. The film makers and Stevenson were criticised as Wakefield's professionalism was already seriously in doubt. In 2009, she starred in ITV's A Place of Execution. The role won her the Best Actress Dagger at the 2009 Crime Thriller Awards. She performs as a book reader, and has recorded all of Jane Austen's novels as unabridged audiobooks, as well as a number of other novels, such as Lady Windermere's Fan, Hedda Gabler, Stories from Shakespeare, and To the Lighthouse. She received lifetime achievement prize at Women in Film And TV awards.

In 2024, she played Mary, the mother of a returning missing child in the British psychological thriller film Reawakening, alongside Erin Doherty and Jared Harris.

Personal life
Stevenson married her long-time partner, British anthropologist Hugh Brody, in 2021. They have a daughter and a son and live in Suffolk, but she also has an apartment in New York.

She is an atheist but considers herself a spiritual and superstitious person.

In 1992 she appeared in a political broadcast for the Labour Party.

In 2008 she campaigned on behalf of refugee women with a reading of "Motherland" at the Young Vic. She is patron of the UK registered charity LAM Action, which provides support, information and encouragement to patients with Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) and their families, and raises funds to advance research into LAM. Stevenson is an Amnesty Ambassador. She is patron of two charities: Young Roots, a charity for young refugees; and Antenatal Results and Choices, which supports parents who have had a diagnosis of fetal anomaly.

On 12 September 2016, Stevenson, as well as Cate Blanchett, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Peter Capaldi, Douglas Booth, Neil Gaiman, Keira Knightley, Jesse Eisenberg, Kit Harington and Stanley Tucci, featured in a video from the United Nations' refugee agency UNHCR to help raise awareness of the global refugee crisis. The video, titled "What They Took With Them", has the actors reading a poem written by Jenifer Toksvig and inspired by primary accounts of refugees, and is part of UNHCR's #WithRefugees campaign, which also includes a petition to governments to expand asylum to provide further shelter, integrating job opportunities and education.

Stevenson's friends and frequent collaborators include director Robert Icke,  comedian and feminist broadcaster Deborah Frances-White,  poet Aviva Dautch   and concert pianist Lucy Parham.

Stevenson is also a painter and has talked about how her art has helped her through difficult moments such as lockdown and the death of her stepson.

Talk:Sheila Copps

Copps is a monarchist?
This claim could very well be true, but does anyone have documentation? CJCurrie 20:30, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Asked about the state of the monarchy in Canada following a memorial service in Ottawa on Tuesday, Heritage Minister Sheila Copps turned upside down Mr. Manley's frequent claim that scrapping the monarchy would represent Canada's maturing as a country. "I've always believed" countered Ms. Copps, "that Canada is a mature enough country to resist the temptation to sever our links with our past.'  AndyL 16:48, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Ah. Okay, then.  CJCurrie 18:19, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Connection with Loco Locass
The best known song by Loco Locass (the Beastie Boys of the Québec sovereignty movement) is "Shelia, Ch'us là", dedicated to Shelia Copps. What did she do to annoy the sovereigntists so much? Sympleko 16:53, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Sheila was one of the organizers of that big federalist rally in Montreal shortly before the Referendum in 1995. She also regularly visited rural Quebec for a month before the referendum in order to help support the "non" vote.  In addition to this, following her visits to Quebec and seeing no Canadian flag she instituted what would become the "flag flap" where her department (or Heritage) gave out 1 million free Canadian Flags to Canada (particularly to Quebec) as a show of support for Canadian Unity.

 * Ups
 * On the CBC the other night, Doreen Braverman, who runs Canada's biggest flag retailer, held up one of the Sheila Maple Leafs. No eyelets, no sleeve, no halyard line for your rope and toggle, it with. One doesn't want to think of the lads from JTF2 standing around on the barren windswept rock holding the Maple Leaf in position while someone radios back to base to ask if DND can parachute in a tube of Superglue.

Canadian federal electioneering
There's an election in the offing here in Canada. Though I can't say for sure that this edit is a whitewash job, it certainly looked like one to me. Cleduc 17:54, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Assessment
I have assessed this as Start Class, as it contains more detail and organization than would be expected of a Stub, although it requires a great deal more referencing and in-line citations to reach B. I have assessed this as low importance, as I do not feel that many people outside of Canada would be familiar with the subject of the article. Cheers, CP 22:19, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Unsourced material
A significant part of this article has no sources, and since Sheila Copps is alive and a well known politician, the WP:BLP policy should be adhered to. The material may be true, but it still requires a citation other than the author saying to himself, "I know it happened."Princetoniac (talk) 17:54, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

I have once again had to trim down the section about the SNC situation l. The version that was in there was far to detailed and discussed things that had nothing to do with Cobbs at all. Like Trudeau’s response and mannerisms. I agree some mention of her views and actions may warrant inclusion it does not require an entire rehas of every tweet article or synopsis of the sources to rehashed in a Wikipedia article. Too much detail fits this best. McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 15:13, 15 July 2019 (UTC) ]]

Zit (comic)

Zit was an adult British comic that was published by Humour Publications UK, beginning with a free sample issue in January 1991, and with issue 1 in February 1991, The final Issue, Issue 143 was published in May 2002

It was one of many such comics similar to Viz, and was also of lower production quality than its inspiration. As well as comic strips, it also included photo strips, joke articles, celebrity references, and adverts for phone lines and mail order products, many of a pornographic or sexual nature.

History
The owner of Humour Publications, Russell Church, attempted to stir up an aggressive rivalry between his publication and the far more successful Viz, but, as Viz editor Chris Donald stated in his autobiography, "Church's magazine was so bad he couldn't give the thing away". In 1993 Church sued another Viz clone, the Huddersfield-based Spit!, for "passing itself off" as Zit. He pursued the case all the way to the High Court, where the judge ruled that nobody "with reasonable apprehension or eyesight" could confuse the two comics. Church was ordered to pay Spit!'s legal bills, which came to around £32,000. Soon after this setback, Church was sued by the British TV presenter Anne Diamond, following a tasteless reference in Zit to her child's tragic cot death. This effectively sank Humour Publications, and Zit continued with a different publisher's backing before vanishing from the shelves in 2002.

Notable strips
More notable characters included: "Lambrusco - the Alcoholic Sheep", "Dirty Stan the Blue Movie Man", "The man who collects eyeballs", and "Middle aged Melvin".

Contributors
Allin Kempthorne wrote and drew several features including the semi-regular strip Starface. He has since gone on to become a television and film actor and writer.

Leon Horton created and wrote many characters, including Hector Rectum, Dave Beef and The Ales of Beer Tits Potter.

Ged Purvis a one time commercial artist drew Young Tarby who went on to become a tv and film actor, writer and director and also a book illustrator.

In other media
A video called Zit: The Video was produced in 1993, featuring many of its characters in five-minute animated segments in which they're Motion comics rather than actual animation. the animations were made digitally in Photon Paint, all of the characters from the Zit comics were both voiced by David Holt and Rob Rackstraw, although uncredited.

An audio cassette tape entitled "An Earful of Zit" was also released in 1993 and was marketed and distributed by PolyGram Record Operations Ltd. It was described on the cover as "fifty minutes of audio madness". It was written by Ged Backland, Leon Horton, Dave Iddon, Paul Dyson and Anthony Smith. It was Produced for Polygram by Leo Cubbin and Ged Backland and recorded at Rainbow Studios in Brighton.
