Your edits to Aegukga
Hi! I reverted your edits to the romanization and Korean spacing in the Aegukga article, because the romanization is according to South Korea's official Revised Romanization. In particular, the hyphens you added shouldn't be there; adding a hyphen in "bou" is unnecessary, and writing "baekdusani" as "baekdusan-i" would suggest that the "i" is pronounced separately from "baekdusan", which it isn't, and so on. The spacing in the Korean words are also subject to rules; e.g. "이 기상과..." definitely should NOT be written as "이기상과...", i.e. without the space, the "ilpyeondansimilse" is one word, etc. So I've gone back to the version of lyrics before you edited them, but kept the other content you added. -- KittySaturn 15:40, 2005 Apr 8 (UTC)

"Giota"
I've heard Greeks pronounce the name of the letter I as yota. What do you intend "giota" to sound like? Michael Hardy 22:25, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * There is a good point on that. Actually, "giota" is the way the letter the letter i (as in iota) is spelled in Greek. The "g" does sound like y, but when transliterated, the "g" is actually dropped when transliterated from the Greek alphabet into the Latin alphabet. In a sentence, iota sounds like a short i.

Thanks. Michael Hardy 01:55, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

PD-PhilippinesGov
Hey, thanks for making Template:PD-PhilippinesGov. :) I've noticed that US government works are all public domain, and for quite a while I was unsure if the same thing applied to the Philippine government. I have a question about the wording though... It says "The following work is in the public domain in the Philippines and possibly other jurisdictions", and later says "This applies worldwide". If it applies worldwide, couldn't we just remove "in the Philippines and possibly other jurisdictions"? TheCoffee 17:35, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

May we edit the profiles of most towns of the Philippines so that we have at least a brief description of the town. I think this christmas break is the right time to do this.

LRT side platforms
From Manila Light Rail Transit System: "Yellow Line stations have side platforms, while Purple Line stations have island platforms." Are you sure about that? I'm pretty sure I remember the Katipunan Station having side platforms. And the Araneta-Cubao station too. I can't speak for the other stations, since I mostly just used the LRT to get from Katipunan to Cubao. :) Coffee 17:34, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm basing on some observations from the pictures. I have seen Recto station with side and island platforms (although I think they were also side platforms only), but I'll take note of side platforms on MRT-2.  Actually, I even think, judging from the way MRT-2 stations are placed, that all other stations have side platforms.  I'll go change that.  --Akira123323 17:39, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I just remembered that whenever we would drive under the Purple Line tracks, the tracks don't widen, as would be the case for island platforms. That would mean that all Purple Line stations have side platforms, which has been noted already in the article.  --Akira123323 18:06, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Great job on getting us our first Filipino-made Philippine-related featured article! Hopefully the first of many to come. :) Coffee 16:13, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I didn't even know that a Philippine barnstar exist!  But of course, I'm not deserving of all the credit.  --Akira123323 Say what? Track record 16:15, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Mabuhay ka, kapatid, for writing the very first Filipino-related article to be on Wikipedia's Featured Article. You make our country proud! More power to you! =) --Tito Pao 08:49, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Great work in helping create the first (or third)
May many more of your edits bring about more Philippine related FA!--Nino Gonzales 12:44, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Some LRT/MRT pictures
Here are some pictures that may be of some use to the articles. Most of them are low quality, i'll try to take better images with a better camera when the weather gets better. Maybe i'll just place the new images here and you'll be the one to decide where it should be placed in the articles. --Mithril Cloud 16:19, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

By the way, i found a couple of good pictures of the LRT1/LRT2/MRT at the skyscrapercity.com forums. Those kind of pictures are considered as public domain images, right? While some of the images posted by the members of the said forum are taken from some websites, the rest of the images were taken by the members themselves. I also found Image:Edsa4.jpg on the said forum. It would be nice if we can get some of the great looking images there on the articles.

 * I am not sure if they are PD per se, but it would be very nice if we can have those pictures up too (surprised though they got past the photo ban). Most station articles don't even have pictures (I'll work on Magallanes and Guadalupe stations, btw) and of course the MRT does it a bit sparingly.  More pictures would do great though.

 * I'll see about the three pictures. --Akira123323 Say what? Track record 22:39, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

European Computer Trade Show

The European Computer Trade Show (ECTS) was an annual trade show for the European video game industry which first ran in 1988, the last event being held in 2004.

The exposition was only open to industry professionals and journalists, although it was frequently attended by members of the public who had faked credentials. Due to the wide-scale nature of this problem, many exhibitors planned stalls which appealed to both trade and public, except when alternative public shows were planned such as the Future Entertainment Show and Game Stars Live.

ECTS was always held at a London venue, usually between the end of August and the beginning of September. Its original home was the Business Design Centre in Islington. In 1995 it was relocated to the Grand Hall at Olympia in Kensington. The 2001 event took place at the ExCeL Exhibition Centre in Newham and the last three, to 2004, were at the Earls Court Exhibition Centre.

From 2001 until 2004, the Game Developers Conference Europe was held alongside ECTS. Unlike the primarily press-oriented ECTS, GDCE focused on talks and discussions about the development of games, and was aimed at the developers themselves. In 2004, however, GDCE moved locations and ran alongside the Game Stars Live event. In April 2005, organiser CMP announced that they were withdrawing from the British trade show market, marking the end of 17 years of shows.

List of largest peaceful gatherings

This is a list of the largest historic peaceful gatherings of people in the world at one place for a single event.

Methodology
A method of determining how many people are at an event is the scientific analysis of photographs, video images, or both. Based on the quality of the image, it is possible to do a physical head count or to estimate attendance based on the density of people within similar areas. This permits the estimation of people over large areas or where parts of the image are obscured. An extensive discussion of how images were used to estimate the number of attendees at the Million Man March can be found at the Center for Remote Sensing at Boston University's website.

Mads Timm

Mads Timm (born 31 October 1984) is a retired Danish footballer who last played as a forward for Lyngby Boldklub.

Playing career
Spending his youth years at Odense, Timm joined English club Manchester United in the Premier League in 2000. He made his first team debut in a Champions League group stage defeat against Maccabi Haifa in October 2002. He was not able to secure a place in the first team at United, and he spent some time on loan at Norwegian club Viking, scoring the first ever goal at their new Viking Stadion, as well as at English Football League club Walsall, where he scored once against Chesterfield.

In March 2005, Timm was sentenced to 12 months in a young offenders' institute for dangerous driving, after teammate Callum Flanagan's car hit another vehicle while he and Timm were racing each other on a public road. Although United sacked Flanagan after the incident, Timm was allowed to remain with the club.

On 24 May 2006, Manchester United released a statement saying that Timm, along with six other players, had been released by the club, and on 1 June 2006, Timm returned to his Danish childhood club Odense on a three-year contract. In an interview on the Danish television station TV2, the coach from Odense stated that Timm needed a second chance.

Timm had some success at Odense, and he was called up to the Danish national team. However, he failed to keep his place in the Odense side, and he was released from the club on 15 August 2008 by mutual consent. On 25 August 2008, Lyngby Boldklub announced that they had signed a one-year contract with Timm.

On 16 August 2009, he retired from professional football because of injuries and lack of motivation. In 2011, he played as an amateur with Danish football club Kerteminde.

Vithalrao Devaji was appointed the Diwan (1801–1820), and during this period, Amreli grew and prospered.

Dang is a district in the southeastern part of the state of Gujarat in western India. The administrative headquarters of the district are located in Ahwa. Dang has an area of 1,764 km2 and a population of 228,291 (as of 2011). As of 2011, it is the least populous of Gujarat's 33 districts. As per the Planning Commission, Dang is one of the most economically distressed district out of 640 districts in India. 94% of the population belongs to one of the scheduled tribes. The five Kings of Dangs are the only hereditary royals in India whose titles are currently recognized by the government owing to an agreement between the Government of India and the Dang kings in 1842.

Etymology
The origin of the name of the Dang is uncertain. In common parlance the word 'dang' means a hilly village. There is another connotation of the word 'dang' which means bamboo (a place of bamboo). The name is also associated with Hindu mythology. It is related to the Dandakaranya of the Ramayana. It is said that during the exile, Rama passed through this area on his way to Nashik.

Kings of Dang

The five Royal Bhil Kings of Dangs are currently the only hereditary rulers in India.

Before Independence several wars were fought between the five tribal kings of Dang and the Company. According to the history of Dang, the biggest war to took place at 'Lashkaria Amba', in when the kings of all the five states joined to protect Dang from the British. The British were beaten and agreed to a compromise.

As per the treaty signed in 1842 the Company allowed to use the forests and their natural products against which they had to pay around 3,000 silver coins to the five kings. Currently the kings receive a monthly political pension by the Government of India, which is the main source of their income. This payment is continued even though all privy purses for the Princely states of India were stopped in 1970 since the agreement was between then monarchy of Dangs and the Government of India, not the Crown.

At the end of each fiscal year during Holi, the kings gather in Ahwa for a traditional royal ceremony, in their richly decorated buggies and bands with tribal dancers, to receive the payment as per the agreement of 1842. In ancient Indian Scriptures Dang is known as Danda Aranyaka, meaning 'Bamboo forest'. Recently the Dangs Kings have urged the government to protect their depleting forest cover due to illegal logging.

The five kingdoms are Daher-Amala, Linga, Gadhvi, Vasurna and Pimpri.

Hey. I saw your excellent write-up on Berossus. I'd like to invite you to check out my new site, the "Wiki Classical Dictionary." The idea is to do for the Oxford Classical Dictionary what Wikipedia did for the Encyclopedia Britannica. The WCD has somewhat more specific editorial guidelines, category editors and a focus on topics not already in Wikipedia, including a category for that. With luck, it will become a good sister-site to Wikipedia.

Surendranagar district

Surendranagar is an administrative district in Saurashtra region of Gujarat state in India. It has a population of approximately 1.7 million people. Surendranagar, along with the twin city of Wadhwan, has a total of 400,000 inhabitants, and is known as "Camp".

Etymology
Surendranagar district takes its name from its headquarters Surendranagar. Originally it was the place where the British political agent for Wadhwan lived and became known as Wadhwan Camp. After the agent left in 1946, Wadhwan Camp was renamed after Surendrasinhji Jorawarsinhji (1922–1983), then-ruler of Wadhwan, and became known as Surendranagar. Even today the city is still called the 'Camp' locally from its old name.

The district overall, when the various princely states had been merged, was known as 'Jhalavad', the land of the Jhala Rajputs, who held many of the states. Their name derives from an apocryphal incident in the palace of Harpaldev, their ancestor. A wild elephant had burst into a courtyard where his children were playing, but their mother managed to fend off the elephant and rescue the children. As she held them, they received the name 'Jhala'from the Gujarati word Jhalavun (to hold).

History
Several small-scale archaeological expeditions in the district have found only a few traces of prehistoric man. Tools from the Late Stone Age were found in Sejakpur in Sayla taluk in 1957–58. Near Rangpur in 1931 was found a Harappan site, the first Harappan site found in Gujarat and evidence that the Indus Valley civilization extended to Saurasthra. In fact, Rangpur was the first site found that lasted longer than the Harappan civilization itself. However, it seems Rangpur was not a major commercial centre since no seals were found here.

The early history of this district is unclear, but most likely follows the same pattern as the other districts of Saurashtra. The district was probably ruled by the Mauryas, then Indo-Greeks. Afterwards it was ruled by the Western Satraps, and then by the Gurjara-Pratiharas. Eventually the Chaulukyas took over, and after they were destroyed by the Delhi Sultanate, it became part of their empire. In 1407, the governors of Gujarat declared their independence, and Surendranagar became part of the Gujarat Sultanate. After 1573, Gujarat was annexed into the Mughal Empire and Surendranagar became part of the Gujarat Subah. However, on the group control of the district rested with numerous kings and landlords with estates of various sizes, and this continued until the British period.

There were several states in the district during the British period: states such as Dhrangadhra, Wadhwan, and Limbdi were ruled by the jhala Rajputs, formerly known as Makwanas. They claim descent from Harpaldev, son of Kesar Makwana whose wife was daughter of celebrated Chaulukya ruler Karandev solanki. Harpaldev received 1800 villages from Karandev solanki for his valour.

The state of Bajana was founded by Malik Haider Khan, a Jat leader driven out of Sindh who was given land by the Gujarat sultans. Dasada was ruled by Multani Maliks descended from a Thanedar during the reign of Ahmad Shah I.

Dhandhalapur was ruled first by the Babarias, but in 1790 they were displaced by the Khadvads. Lakhtar was founded when a son of the Raja of Halvad received the village from the chief of Dhrangadhra. The rulers of Limbdi claimed descent from Harpaldev.

Thangadh was originally ruled by the Babariyas. They were ousted by the Parmars, who migrated from Tharparkar and were given land by the Vaghelas of Wadhwan. After the Parmars came the Kathis, who made Than their headquarters. However Kartalab Khan, governor of Gujarat, dispersed the Kathis and destroyed their Surya temple. Than remained in Muslim hands until the fading of Mughal power, when the jhala of Halvad took it over.

Economy
In the past, Surendranagar was used by colonialists as a hill station, because of its dry environment that was believed in contemporary medicine to be beneficial for some physical as well as mental ailments. Surendranagar's dry air is still believed to be the best place in Gujarat to cure tuberculosis patients.

District capital Surendranagar, which lies under Municipality body is suffering from poor condition of roads and the two Causeways which join both the sides of city divided by Bhogavo River. Municipality body of city is considered to be a candidate for status of Municipal Corporation for a long time but due to some political reasons it never happen. It has the second highest number of educational institutes per capita. Many newspapers are published from Surendranagar in Gujarat.

Businesses
Many small and medium enterprises and industries are present, including confectionery, ceramics, pharmaceuticals, engineering plastics, bearings and spindles, and salt production. Wadhwan City is a major trade and processing centre for agricultural products, cotton, salt, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and plastics, textile bearings, ceramics, and sanitary ware.

Natural resources
Nearly 25 percent of India's salt supply comes from mining in the Surendranagar area. There are miles of Agar (Salt pans), especially in the Kharaghoda area. High-quality salt is produced in Zinzuwada, a desert area.

Textiles
Surendranagar is a hub of cotton and ginning activities in India, with a large number of ginning and pressing units. It is one of the largest producers of quality Shankar cotton in world. The Surendranagar Cotton Oil and Oilseeds Association Ltd., (Government of India recognised) is a world-famous futures trading exchange for cotton. It was established in 1964 and is the first Cotton Future Trading Exchange in India.

Surendranagar City is also home to a big textile and clothing market, specialising in saris. Large clothing showrooms are located in the city on Jawahar Road and Vithal Press Road.

After a long chase, she gave up and instead of becoming the queen of Junagadh she sacrificed her life by forming sati on the banks of Bhogavo River, near the city of Wadhwan.

Embassy of Ukraine, Washington, D.C.

The Embassy of Ukraine in Washington, D.C., is the diplomatic mission of Ukraine to the United States. The embassy is located at 3350 M Street NW, in the heart of Georgetown's commercial district.

The embassy also operates Consulates-General in New York City, San Francisco, and Chicago.

On 25 February 2021, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy appointed Oksana Markarova ambassador of Ukraine to the United States.

Building
The embassy occupies Forrest-Marbury House, originally built in 1788, and owned by General Uriah Forrest. Forrest was one of the leaders in the effort to establish the American capital in the area. On March 29, 1791, he hosted George Washington and other dignitaries in a dinner that marked the agreement in principle to establish the new capital. In 1800 the house was purchased by William Marbury, a prominent ally of President John Adams, best known for his role in Marbury v. Madison. The house remained the home of the Marbury family until 1891, when the changing character of the neighborhood led John Marbury Jr. to turn it into a commercial property.

It served as the home to a wide array of businesses for many decades. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, it was a restaurant/bar owned by Jack Wilner and was called "Jack's." Its last commercial role was home to a night club named Desperados.

In 1986 the building was bought by a developer, refurbished, and restored to its original condition. On December 31, 1992, the newly independent Ukraine purchased the building to house its embassy.

Marian Brandys

Marian Brandys (25 January 1912 –  20 November 1998) was a Polish writer and screenwriter born in Wiesbaden into an assimilated Jewish family of the Polish intelligentsia. Brandys grew up in Łódź. His father owned a bank. Their prosperity allowed Marian, and his younger brother, Kazimierz, to attend the best private school for boys, sponsored by the city's merchants' club, Zgromadzenie Kupców Miasta Łodzi.

During the Second Polish Republic Brandys graduated in Law from Warsaw University and worked in the courts before the 1939 invasion of Poland. He took part in the September Campaign as the commander of a mounted platoon of machine guns for the Independent Operational Group Polesie led by General Franciszek Kleeberg. Brandys spent the war years incarcerated in the German Woldenberg II-C prisoner of war camp for Polish officers near the town of Grünberg in Schlesien, present day Zielona Góra. He joined the Polish communist party upon the Soviet takeover of Poland and from 1949 worked as a reporter in Warsaw. Brandys published his first book during the Stalinist era, the propagandist Początek opowieści (The Beginning of a Story) about the factory workers of Nowa Huta. After the fall of Stalinism, he focused on writing historical novels and children's books. He left the communist party in 1966. He was the elder brother of the far more popular Polish writer, Kazimierz Brandys, author of the heart-wrenching Miasto niepokonane (Unconquered City) about the two Warsaw Uprisings during World War II. He died in Warsaw in 1998.

Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken

Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken Aktiengesellschaft (German Weapons and Munitions public limited company), known as DWM, was an arms company in Imperial Germany created in 1896 when Ludwig Loewe & Company united its weapons and ammunition production facilities within one company. In 1896 Loewe founded Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken with a munitions plant in Karlsruhe (Baden), formerly Deutsche Metallpatronenfabrik Lorenz, and the weapons plant in Berlin. Shares that Loewe had in other gun- and ammunition plants were transferred to DWM. This included Waffenfabrik Mauser, Fabrique Nationale d'Armes de Guerre (FN) in Belgium and Waffen- und Munitionsfabrik A.G. in Budapest. The DWM was orchestrated by Isidor Loewe (1848–1910), as his brother Ludwig had died in 1886. Karl Maybach (who was part of the Maybach company) was employed by the Loewe company in 1901.

Firearms
DWM introduced the Pistol Parabellum ('Luger Pistol') in the early 1900s. It was worked on by Georg Luger and Hugo Borchardt. DWM manufactured the Maschinengewehr 01 and Maschinengewehr 08, licensed version/clone of the Maxim machine gun. The MG08 would be the main German machine gun of the First World War, alongside the somewhat different, air cooled Parabellum MG 14/17 for aviation use. Along with being one of the main arms suppliers of Imperial Germany, the company was at the forefront of small arms technology. They also supplied the world (mostly Latin America and Spain) with the Mauser rifle system, becoming one of the world's largest arms manufacturers. Because the Mauser rifle was one of Germany's main exports before the First World War, DWM proved to be an important part of the pre-war German economy. Many of their weapons were still used by German troops up through the Second World War.

DWM had its own system of cartridge codes, and the "DWM" three digit-code still is important in differentiating vintage ammunitions. Furthermore, the DWM cases had no caliber names, so one did not get misleading caliber designations in reformed cartridges.

Takeovers and name changes
DWM was taken over by the Quandt Group in 1929. At this point the involvement of the Loewe company came to an end. The original Ludwig Loewe & Company merged with the 'Gesellschaft für Elektrische Unternehmungen' in 1929.

DWM underwent a number of name changes following World War I and the subsequent disarmament phase. DWM was no longer allowed to produce military equipment after World War I (although they continued on a smaller and somewhat secret scale) and the first name change was to BKIW (Berlin-Karlsruher Industriewerke or 'Berkawerke') in 1922. After the national-socialist takeover of power in Germany, the company added 'vormals Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken' (former DWM) to the company name in 1933. In 1936 DWM reverted to its old name. From 1940 to 1945, the Quandt family factories – AFA and Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken – were staffed with more than 50,000 forced civilian laborers, prisoners of war and concentration camp workers, according to Scholtyseck's 1,183-page study. A recent film, "The Silence of the Quandts", took a critical look at their wartime activities. After denazification hearings in 1948, no repercussions followed.

Deutsche Waggon- und Maschinenfabriken
In the 1950s, following the war, the Berlin branch of the company switched to the renovation and building of railroad and public transport equipment. It started using the name Deutsche Waggon- und Maschinenfabriken GmbH, but still used the original DWM logo. It later became Waggon Union, a manufacturer of rail vehicles and bus bodies.

Industriewerke Karlsruhe
In 1970 the Karlsruhe branch merged with the Augsburg-based company Industriewerke Karlsruhe Augsburg (IWKA). In 2007 the Karlsruhe-Augsburg company moved to Augsburg and reverted to the original name of the Augsburg company, Keller und Knappich Augsburg, or KUKA, now a robotics firm.

The Botanic Garden of Smith College

The Botanic Garden of Smith College is located on the campus of Smith College, in Northampton, Massachusetts, United States. It consists of a fine selection of woody trees, shrubs, herbaceous plants, and an excellent collection of tropical and subtropical plants in The Lyman Conservatory (greenhouses in the Lyman Plant House). All are open to the public. The first outlines of the Botanic Garden began in the 1880s, when Smith College hired the firm of Olmsted, Olmsted and Eliot to develop a campus landscape plan. Frederick Law Olmsted, senior member of the firm, is best remembered for designing Central Park in New York City and the Boston park system. The Olmsted plan dated February 1893 includes curving drives and walkways, open spaces with specimen trees, and vistas over Paradise Pond through wooded groves. Olmsted also provided planting lists of diverse trees, shrubs, herbs, and aquatic and marsh plants. However, in a more formal sense, the Botanic Garden of Smith College took shape under William Francis Ganong, appointed professor of botany and director of the Botanic Garden in May 1894, and Edward J. Canning, hired in summer 1894 as head gardener.

Smith's Botanic Garden collection includes 1200 types of woody trees and shrubs, 2200 types of hardy herbaceous plants, 3200 types of tender herbaceous and woody plants in greenhouses, and 6600 different kinds of plants, giving a total of approximately 10,000 types of plants on campus.

The Lyman Conservatory's greenhouses with 12000 sqft date from 1895, and house over 2500 species of plants for the instruction of Smith students in the plant sciences. These plants are selected from a wide variety of families and habitats; they comprise one of the best collections of tropical, subtropical, and desert plants in the country.

The campus arboretum consists of 127 acres of woody trees and shrubs, and is free and open every day.

Other Smith Campus Gardens include the Rock Garden, Japanese Garden, Happy Chace '28 Garden, Capen Garden, Woodland Garden, and Systematics Garden & Perennial Border.

Samuel McLaughlin

Colonel Robert Samuel McLaughlin, (September 8, 1871 – January 6, 1972) was a Canadian businessman and philanthropist. He started the McLaughlin Motor Car Company in 1907, one of the first major automobile manufacturers in Canada, which evolved into General Motors of Canada.

Life and career
McLaughlin was born near Bowmanville in the hamlet of Enniskillen, Ontario, the son of Robert McLaughlin and Mary Smith. As a young man, he worked for a short time in a local hardware store, then in 1887 became an apprentice in the upholstery shop of his father's company, McLaughlin Carriage Works, which had opened in 1867 and at one time was the largest manufacturer of horse-drawn buggies and sleighs in the British Empire. In 1890, McLaughlin took a job at H. H. Babcock, an upholstery company in Watertown, New York.

In 1892, McLaughlin and his brother George become junior partners in their father's company. In 1898, he married Adelaide Mowbray.

With engines from William C. Durant of Buick, he produced the McLaughlin-Buick Model F, establishing The McLaughlin Motor Car Company, incorporated on November 20, 1907. In 1908, its first full year of operation, it produced 154 cars. In 1910, he became a director of General Motors. He sold his Chevrolet company stock in 1918 and became president of General Motors of Canada, which continued to sell cars under the McLaughlin-Buick brand until 1942.

He retired in 1945, but remained chairman of the board until his death in 1972. He continued to serve on the board of General Motors until the early 1960s, and was coincidentally replaced by Royal Bank of Canada president Earle McLaughlin, his first cousin once removed.

His older brother, chemist John J. McLaughlin (1865–1914), founded the Canada Dry company. After his brother's death in 1914, McLaughlin became president of this company briefly until it was sold around 1923.

His mansion, Parkwood Estate, begun in 1916, was designed by the Toronto architectural firm of Darling and Pearson. In 1989, the Parkwood estate was officially designated a National Historic Site by the federal government, on the recommendation of the national Historic Sites and Monuments Board.

Honours and awards
McLaughlin was appointed as honorary lieutenant-colonel of the 34th Ontario Regiment in 1921. He held this position until 1931, at which time he was appointed as honorary colonel of the same unit, later designated as The Ontario Regiment (RCAC), a reserve armoured regiment based in Oshawa. Affectionately known as "Colonel Sam", McLaughlin served as honorary colonel until 1967, thereby becoming the longest continuously-serving colonel in the history of the Canadian Forces.

In 1967, McLaughlin was appointed a Companion of the Order of Canada.

Philanthropy
In 1951, he established the McLaughlin Foundation which, from 1953 to 2003, donated nearly $200 million to the University of Toronto and other causes, including the McLaughlin Planetarium at the Royal Ontario Museum.

McLaughlin was a major contributor to Queen's University at Kingston, Ontario. The university's Mechanical Engineering Department is housed in McLaughlin Hall, which was his donation in 1948. McLaughlin Hall in Queen's University's John Deutsch University Centre is also named for him. His wife, Adelaide McLaughlin, was honoured in 1957 by Queen's, which named the women's residence Adelaide Hall for her.

In 1947 McLaughlin and his wife donated land for a Boy Scout camp on the outskirts of Oshawa. The camp was named "Camp Samac".

McLaughlin donated $1 million to the 1968 library building at the University of Guelph, which bears his name.

He provided partial funding to build a college at York University in Toronto. Opened in 1968, it was named McLaughlin College in his honour.

McLaughlin Hall at St. Andrew's College in Aurora, Ontario, which he unveiled in 1971 at age 99, is named after him in recognition of his contributions to the school.

He endowed the Regimental Foundation of The Ontario Regiment (RCAC) and quietly paid the salaries of some of the regiment's soldiers during times of severely curtailed government funding.

McLaughlin House at the Lester B. Pearson United World College of the Pacific also bears his name.

He gave generously to the art community. Among other gifts, he gave Lawren Harris`s Pic Island, Arthur Lismer`s Bright Land, and Emily Carr`s Old Tree at Dusk to the McMichael Canadian Art Collection in Kleinburg.

Thoroughbred horse racing
In his youth, McLaughlin competed in cycling and yachting, and he was an equestrian show jumping champion at competitions in Canada and the United States. His love of horses led to the establishment of Parkwood Stable, a thoroughbred horse racing and breeding farm located a few miles north of Oshawa, Ontario.

McLaughlin's horses won numerous races in Canada and in the U.S.; his horses won important races including the 1942 Peter Pan Stakes at Belmont Park. A three-time winner of Canada's most prestigious race, the Queen's Plate, in 1934 his future Hall of Fame colt Horometer won both the Queen's Plate and the Breeders' Stakes. In 1950, the nearly eighty-year-old McLaughlin retired from racing, selling his Parkwood Stable to E. P. Taylor, under whom it would become known as Windfields Farm.

A long-time director of the Ontario Jockey Club, McLaughlin was inducted into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame in 1963 and the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame in 1977.

 * Keep or merge, as Tony suggested. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd 18:18, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is not a matter of "notability" or "fancruft", but rather just bad information.  I have no idea what this is supposed to refer to.  There are no ship locations in the original Metroid, so the article's statement to the contrary is just plain wrong.  There is a wrecked ship in Super Metroid, but the instruction manual of the game itself explicitly states that this ship is from an ancient exploratory expedition and has nothing to do with the Space Pirates.  Metroid Prime has a Zebian ship in it as well, but this is some kind of research ship that is also never identified as a mothership.  This article is poorly written, full of unsubstantiated speculation, and should not be kept or merged under any circumstances.  If one is going to vote to keep an article on wikipedia, one should at least do enough research to know whether the subject actually exists or not. Indrian 07:03, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge, I agree with Bryan's suggestion.--Matteh (talk) 12:16, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * But the problem with that well-intentioned suggestion is that there is no such Metroid location. Indrian 15:17, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)
 * Ah. Delete, then. DS 23:16, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, if what Indrian says is true. - Stoph 01:10, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and, like some other VfD subpages, is no longer 'live'. Subsequent comments on the issue, the deletion, or the decision-making process should be placed on the relevant 'live' pages. Please do not edit this page.

Good Morning Britain (1983 TV programme)

Good Morning Britain was TV-am's main breakfast television show, broadcast on weekdays from February 1983 until the franchise ended in 1992. It had many different presenters throughout its run.

After a difficult first few months, which almost led to the failure of the broadcasting franchise, Good Morning Britain became a success.

The studio buildings in Hawley Crescent would later be acquired by what is now Paramount Global, and ultimately used as Paramount International Networks' offices.

According to Kaleidoscope's TV Brain website, many editions of the original Good Morning Britain, right up to its end, no longer exist in the archives.

Overview
Good Morning Britain had a mixture of news and current affairs, weather, cartoons, music, and many popular guests of the time. It also featured a popular exercise section, hosted in the early days by Michael Van Straten and Jackie Genova, and then more famously by "Mad Lizzie" Webb. The news was provided in-house by TV-am, but following its loss of the licence the news provision was contracted out to Sky News from 1 February to 31 December 1992.

At its peak, the programme would feature large outside broadcasts throughout the European winter/Australian summer from Bondi Beach in Australia, renaming the show G'Day Britain.

Other presenters of the show included Chris Tarrant, Anneka Rice, Richard Keys, Kathy Tayler, Lorraine Kelly, Jayne Irving and Dynasty star Gordon Thomson.

Initially, David Frost, Anna Ford, Michael Parkinson, Angela Rippon and Robert Kee were the presenters and main shareholders of the station, but the original format was soon dropped, and all bar Frost left the broadcaster.

Talk:Aloysius Ambrozic

Untitled
Is he of German decent? The name Aloysius would suggest so.

Not necessarily St. Aloysius Gonzaga was Italian.--Splashen (talk) 14:55, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Maybe...that might explain why his family fled Slovenia for Austria. I don't know. Adam Bishop 06:01, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * He was born as Alojzij Ambrožič, which is "pure" Slovenian name, he can speak Slovenian language perfectly and while in Canada, he mostly serves Slovenian diaspora. Slovenian "branch" (sorry for my poor church terminology) of Roman Cathlic Church is very proud on him and when he was proclaimed a cardinal it was probably more celebrated in Slovenia than in Canada. I can list many articles in Slovenian proving this. And if you ask him, he will most probably declare himself as a Canadian of Slovenian origin. In 1945 not only Germans but also many Slovenians fled from Yugoslavia to Austria and later to one of Americas, fearing the communist regime, which indeed killed many people. Another such case is Andrej Bajuk, former Slovenian prime minister and now minister of finance. When he was a small child, his family also fled to Austria and then to Argentina where he grew up until 2000 when he returned to Slovenia.

 * Thanks! Adam Bishop 13:09, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Why did he change his name to "Aloysius" thats clearly German, maybe he is someone of mixed Slovenian and German ancestory?

 * Well that's also the English (and Latin) form. Adam Bishop 06:17, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Don't know about his exact ancestry. Who knows maybe Canadian authorities change(d) names to immigrants. One of my relatives (100% Slovenian) immigrated to the USA soon after the WW2 and from Ivan he became John and his last name (quite complicated to pronounce even to Slovenians) was shortened and stripped off Sovenian carons etc. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 193.189.183.17 (talk • contribs) 17:20, 19 April 2005 (UTC)

McKendree University

McKendree University (McK), formerly McKendree College, is a private university in Lebanon, Illinois. Founded in 1828 as the Lebanon Seminary, it is the oldest college or university in Illinois. The school was renamed McKendree University beginning in the 2007–08 academic year. McKendree enrolls approximately 1,960 students representing 25 countries and 29 states. In the undergraduate program, on average there are 51% females and 49% males. The institution remains affiliated with the United Methodist Church.

History
Established by pioneer Methodists, McKendree is the oldest university in the state of Illinois and continues to have ties to the United Methodist Church. First called Lebanon Seminary, the school opened in two rented sheds for 72 students in 1828 under Edward Raymond Ames. In 1830, Bishop William McKendree, the first American-born bishop of the Methodist church, permitted the board of trustees to change the institution's name to McKendree College. Later Bishop McKendree deeded 480 acre of land in Shiloh, Illinois to endow the college. Reverend Peter Akers, in 1833, was the first president of the newly named college. He was president of McKendree College three times and received its first degree, an honorary Doctorate of Divinity. In 1835, the college received one of the first charters granted to independent church colleges by the Illinois legislature. The institution still operates under the provisions of a second, more liberal charter obtained in 1839.

Since 1994 and the installation of its former president James M. Dennis, the institution has significantly increased its enrollment. In 2001, the college embarked on a capital campaign which raised more than $20 million for the campus including the creation of a performing arts center, the Russel E. and Fern M. Hettenhausen Center for the Arts, also known as The Hett.

Lebanon campus
McKendree University's main campus is located on a wooded 235 acre in Lebanon, Illinois, about 25 minutes from downtown St. Louis, Missouri.

The campus is laid out in roughly a rectangle bordered by Stanton Street and College Hill Cemetery to the west and Monroe St. to the east. North Alton St. and Summerfield St. bisect the campus and are the main roads for vehicular traffic on campus.

The university opened the Russel E. and Fern M. Hettenhausen Center for the Arts (the Hett) in September 2006. The $10 million, 34,400 sqft theater includes practice and storage space for the McKendree University band, choral department and faculty offices. The Hett includes a full-size stage with a 500-seat auditorium.

The Marion K. Piper Academic Center (PAC) is the student union, which is the center of the campus, with the library located directly to the northwest of it. All academic buildings are located in the southwestern sections of the campus.

Residence halls
Student housing is provided along the north-central and northeastern areas of the campus. McKendree offers three different types of residence halls: traditional dorm style, suite style, and apartment style. Traditional-style halls are predominantly freshmen and are co-ed by floor. The residence halls are served by the Ames Dining Hall, located between Baker Hall and Walton Hall.

Traditional style halls:
 * Baker Hall
 * Barnett Hall
 * Walton Hall

Suite-style halls:
 * Residence Hall East
 * Residence Hall West
 * The Suites

Apartment-style halls:
 * McKendree West
 * University Commons
 * Triplex
 * Hunter Street

The suite-style and apartment-style halls are predominantly upperclassmen; freshmen are not allowed to live in McKendree West Apartments. Suite-style residence halls are located in a 70-student complex on the eastern edge of campus called The Suites. The suites are co-ed by suite and include three bedrooms, one bathroom, and a common area. McKendree West Apartments are the university-owned apartment-style residence housing option. McKendree West houses approximately 380 students and is co-ed by apartment. They are located a half mile from the main campus. The university offers a shuttle service to transport residents to and from McKendree West, called the Bogey Bus named after McKendree's mascot, Bogey the Bearcat.

On October 23, 2010, the university held a groundbreaking ceremony for two new residence halls. The new 75,000 sqft residence halls are designed in a modern glass-and-brick style of architecture to blend with other modern buildings on campus as well as the many historic brick buildings. Each new hall is a three-story structure connected by a two-floor glass bridge. The new residence halls tentatively named "New Residence Hall: East" and "New Residence Hall: West" were completed in time for the 2011–2012 academic year. Due to this addition, McKendree University was able to recruit their largest first-year enrollment in 185 years: class of 2017.

Athletics
The McKendree athletic teams are called the Bearcats. The university is a member of NCAA Division II, after completing the transitioning process from the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) in July 2013. The university competed as an Independent during the 2011–12 academic year (in NCAA D-II play) before becoming a member of the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) for the 2012–13 academic year as a provisional NCAA member.

In addition to GLVC sponsored sports, McKendree also fields NCAA-sanctioned teams in women's bowling as an independent program and men's volleyball at the National Collegiate (Division I/II) level in the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (MIVA). The women's bowling team won the NCAA National Collegiate Bowling Championship in 2017 and 2022. They were runner-up in the 2018 event.

The fourth academic year, 2013–2014, the NCAA would vote to make McKendree an active member of NCAA D-II.
