Monica Hughes

Monica Hughes (November 3, 1925 – March 7, 2003) was an  English-Canadian author of books for children and young adults, especially science fiction. She also wrote adventure and historical novels set in Canada, and the text for some children's picture books. She may be known best for the Isis trilogy of young-adult science fiction novels (1980–1982).

Life
Monica Hughes lived in many different countries, including Egypt, Scotland, England and Zimbabwe. She was the daughter of Phylis Fry and E.L Ince. Both her parents worked at the University of Liverpool, where her father was a mathematician and her mother a biologist.

In her school years, her teachers always encouraged her to write and join essay-writing competitions. Hughes attended Edinburgh University from 1942 to 1943. While in school, Hughes' academic studies were interrupted as a result of World War II. She joined the Military service, the Women's Royal Naval Service, from the years 1943–1946, cracking German codes. After returning from the war, Hughes went back to school to study Meteorology. She married Glen Hughes on April 22, 1957, and together they had 4 children.

Before becoming a writer, Hughes had many other careers. She was a dress designer in London, England, and Bulawayo, Zimbabwe between the years 1948–1949. She was also a bank clerk in 1951, and a laboratory technician from 1952 to 1957.

Having written over 35 books for young people, Monica Hughes is known as one of Canada's best writers for children and young adults. Many of her books are science fiction. Monica Hughes has repeatedly been called "Canada's finest writer of science fiction for children", by critic Sarah Ellis in The Horn Book Magazine.

When not writing or not in school, Hughes was said to enjoy swimming, walking, gardening and beachcombing.

Writer
Hughes wrote about 40 books including more than 20 that the ISFDB covers as speculative fiction novels. Although she spent a large part of her life writing, she was almost fifty when her first book was published. That was Gold-Fever Trail: A Klondike Adventure, a Canadian historical novel (see Klondike Gold Rush).

The Isis trilogy comprises The Keeper of the Isis Light and two sequels, originally published by Hamish Hamilton of London, from 1980 to 1982. Accepting the Phoenix Award for Keeper twenty years later, Hughes discussed her writing process in general and for that work specifically.

WorldCat reports that Invitation to the Game (Toronto: HarperCollins, 1990) is her work most widely held in participating libraries, by a wide margin. It is a dystopian novel set on Earth in year 2154.

Her last book was The Maze (2002). It features a female protagonist and two bullies magically placed in a maze, where they all depend on her for rescue.

Awards
The Keeper of the Isis Light won the 2000 Phoenix Award from the Children's Literature Association as the best English-language children's book that did not win a major award when it was originally published twenty years earlier. That prize is named for the mythical bird phoenix, which is reborn from its ashes, to suggest the book's rise from obscurity.

Invitation to the Game (Toronto: HarperCollins, 1990) won the Hal Clement Award as the year's best science fiction novel for young adults.

Hughes also won the Vicky Metcalf Award, Alberta Culture Juvenile Novel Award, Bay's Beaver Award, and Alberta R. Ross Annett Award.

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was keep. ugen 64 03:26, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Grant Neufeld
Non-notable, unencyclopedic, vainity. Delete. --Spinboy 23:55, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Previous vfds at Votes for deletion/Grant Neufeld/vote1 and Votes for deletion/Grant Neufeld/vote2.

 * Comment. I'm curious what new problems - or new support for previously suggested problems - you've identified with the article that were not addressed in the VfD that was closed this morning. If there is nothing new, I'm not sure how this vote is expected to come out any different. Can you elaborate, please? Thanks. -GrantNeufeld 00:23, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I was going to let this go by until I'd had more time to think, but this was last voted on 17 hours ago. This seems like an attempt to game the system because you didn't like the outcome. Keep. Meelar (talk) 01:06, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * The outcome was no consensus. --Spinboy 01:34, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * That's correct. So please share the new information or arguments you have to present that may change that. Otherwise, we may reasonably conclude that the lack of consensus is not likely to shift. Thanks, GrantNeufeld 01:39, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * There is some precedent for re-listing a vote that has had no consensus. But the previous votes should at least still stand if it was from yesterday to prevent people from having to say the same thing over again. As such,

 * Delete. I strongly believe in Wikipedia's "semi-policy" discouraging autobiographies for all of the reasons stated on that page.  Users are specifically advised not to create or edit articles about themselves.  It needs to be established that this article merits an exemption from those guidelines.  Preferably this argument will be backed up with precedents on Wikipedia.  The content of the article remains a secondary concern to this matter.  If an exception to the autobiography guidelines is made here then this article will serve as a precedent justifying additional exemptions in future Vfd autobiography debates.  Kurieeto 12:56, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, autobiography. Dpbsmith (talk) 23:19, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete Dr Zen 07:09, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Rednblu | Talk 11:17, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)
 * No, those votes and the associated discussion should not be counted. That vote was closed last year (as opposed to the second vote which was closed yesterday), and was for what was a completely different article in content from the one being voted on here. In any case, I removed your copy of Meelar's old vote because there is a new vote them above. GrantNeufeld 00:28, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you for removing it, I knew I'd miss something. I think it should count though. --Spinboy 00:34, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep! Community consensus means nothing if we only abide by it when things go our way.  Relisting an article that survived VfD less than a day after closing the last VfD is a blatant attempt to game the system.  For the record, I am the admin who closed the last VfD.  In that VfD I voted to delete, but when it came time to close it I saw that there was no consensus.  By our rules, that means the article stays.  Even though I voted to delete, I respected community consensus, which by default was keep.  This time I must vote to keep the article to avoid setting a horrible precedent -- if you don't like the last vote, just list it again and again and again...  SWAdair | Talk  02:57, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * There is no policy against relisting an article as soon as it has survived VfD, but there should be, IMO. Previous discussion can be found at Wikipedia_talk:Votes_for_deletion/August_2004 and also Proposed new rule: No repeat submission of articles.  SWAdair | Talk  10:03, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I thought it was supposed to be three months or something. - David Gerard 15:52, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I missed it the first time round, userfy and delete from the main namespace, wikipedia is not a platform for the self-promotion of Grant Neufeld--nixie 04:20, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, self-confessed vanity. Grue 07:02, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, agree with SWAdair that this vote is an attempt to game the system.-gadfium 03:32, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * But if it's vanity, why the hell should it stay? Grue 04:34, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Someone writing substantial chunks of their own article is an NPOV problem, not something that makes them unencyclopedic - David Gerard 15:52, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 07:32, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep ➥the Epopt 15:08, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I could live without the article, but repeated VFDs of this nature are to be discouraged. Keep. - David Gerard 15:52, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I'd prefer if people creating articles about themselves would be discouraged. VfD relisting is not a problem, vanity pages are. Grue 15:59, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * The subject is probably article-worthy. The article is not bad; not great either, but not bad. The solution is to make it not an autobiography. Since Grant Neufeld has been helpful, cooperative, and generally cool about things, unlike nearly every other Wikipedian autobiographer, this shouldn't be a problem. Keep and rewrite as necessary. —Charles P. (Mirv) 16:08, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Agree with SWAdair. -- Eugene van der Pijll 15:59, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Just putting in my two cents: I disagree with the relisting of this immediatley after the end of the vote, and normally would have voted keep just because of the disruption this vote causes. However, this person is not only clearly not notable, and the article is also an autobiography, two very clear sins. If it were not for the very nature of the article, keep would be an vote. If it were not for the disruption of relisting, delete would be an obvious vote. I have to abstain, though this person is clearly not notable, and we should not allow not notable people to write autobiographies. RickK 20:16, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
 * Let's be clear though, I edited this article to make it more encyclopedic, and to remove any last traces of "glow". I think that the article now reads pretty much as someone else would have written it. If it hasn't then I encourage you to edit it further.
 * As far as notability, there is an on-going debate as to whether a defeated candidate from an election is notable or not. In this case, we have a defeated candidate who has several other acomplishments to his credit. This is why I voted to keep. Ground Zero 21:19, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you for making those NPOV edits. My concern is that the precedent set here is that autobiographical creations and edits are acceptable if copyedited by another Wikipedian.  This unneccessarily puts additional work and responsibility onto the shoulders of Wikipedians.  Also, if we approve an autobiographical article creation here, and approve its content as of today, what do we do if Grant chooses to edit it sometime in the future?  With each of his edits there is a much higher likelihood than normal that questions of bias will be raised, encouraging future unneccessary conflicts that will have to be resolved.  I maintain that this article should be assessed for deletion based on the autobiographical procedure that has been followed, which takes precedence over its content. Kurieeto 11:40, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Kuri, Grant is free, as are all Wikipedians, to make edits in the future. The article should be watched, as so many are, to ensure that POV edits are not made. This morning I have adjusted the Paul Martin and Craig Chandler articles to remove POV stuff added over the weekend. This is just a part of having on open-content encyclopedia.
 * If Craig Chandler were to take an interest and started edited his article, would we remove it altogether? Indeed, would we even know? If he were to take an identity-masking userid (Ground Zero, for the record, is already taken), we would not know, nor would we if he edited without registering.
 * Grant has accepted my edits and has made no attempt to revert them. If he did in a POV way, then I would probably have to vote to delete, but it is clear that he is accepting that article on him is open to edits by others.
 * If the article is to be deleted on the basis that it was created by its subject, what would happen if I were to re-create the article with the same text? then it would no longer be "autobiographical", I guess. I don't see the point of going through that. Let's decide on the basis of whether Grant is notable or not. Ground Zero 13:52, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. While it might have been NPOV'ed, this article still reads like the textbook piece of vanity it is. Autobiographies just don't make good Wikipedia articles. If there was an article on me (would be non-notable, but supposing it wasn't) then if I noticed an inaccuracy, felt that the article was biased, or thought there was some useful information missing, I would say so on the talk page and leave others to incorporate my suggestions as they saw fit. It is simply not ethical to write an article on yourself. I look forward to the day when Autobiography achieves the status of formal policy, and we have a clear presumption against keeping articles written by their subjects. — Trilobite (Talk) 03:55, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I hate voting on VfD, which I entirely deprecate, but I randomed his page. This is intolerable. There is no policy against autobiographies. Yes, they are frowned on, but they are not banned or anything. And relisting this just shows a contempt for consensus. Why not ask Grant to step aside from this article and work on others? Other editors can verify the information in the article. If it's all verifiable, no harm has been done. Please, everyone, I agree he shouldn't have done it, but it's here now. Let's find a more Wikilovely way to sort it out. Grace Note 14:03, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, agree with the assessment of SWAdair. ElBenevolente 18:53, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Ejrrjs | What? 22:19, 18 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.

USS Anchorage (LPD-23)

USS Anchorage (LPD-23) is a San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock and the second ship of the United States Navy to be namesake of the U.S. city of Anchorage, Alaska.

Construction
Anchorage's keel was laid down on 24 September 2007, at the Avondale Shipyard near New Orleans, Louisiana, then owned by Northrop Grumman Ship Systems. The ship was launched on 12 February 2011.; sponsored by Mrs. Annette Conway, wife of James T. Conway, a former Commandant of the Marine Corps. She was christened two months later, on 14 May – the first ship christened by Huntington Ingalls Industries since Northrop Grumman spun off its shipbuilding divisions as a separate company. The ship was formally delivered and accepted by the U.S. Navy on 17 September 2012. Anchorage was commissioned 4 May 2013, in her eponymous city.

Deployments

 * 11 May 2015 – 15 December 2015: Maiden deployment
 * 10 July 2018 – 1 March 2019: Western Pacific

Recovering Orion space capsules for NASA

In early August 2014, Anchorage participated in Underway Recovery Test 2, rehearsing scenarios for recovering an Orion space capsule.

Senior project managers from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), who oversaw the Exploration Flight Test 1 (EFT-1) for the uncrewed Orion spacecraft, conferred with Rear Admiral Fernandez L. Ponds, commander Expeditionary Strike Group (ESG) 3, and Captain William R. Grotewold, the ship's commanding officer, on board USS San Diego (LPD-22) at her home port of San Diego, 12 September 2013. They discussed plans to retrieve Orion's space capsule during her splashdown in a scheduled test off the coast of Southern California.

"We had a chance to display the ship's capability, show the crew's enthusiasm and demonstrate that our amphibious capability is multi-dimensional, just one more thing that our Navy can do," Ponds explained. "The LPD 17-class ships have one of the most robust command and control communications systems in our Navy inventory."

The space agency's planners intended Orion to reach an altitude of nearly 3600 mi above the Earth's surface during EFT-1. Following the test flight, she was to reenter the atmosphere at a speed of more than 20000 mph and splashdown in the Pacific. The flight was to test the capsule's avionics, heat shield, and parachutes, and the Navy was tasked to locate and recover the craft.

"NASA did a trade study whether they wanted Orion to land on the ground or in the water," Andy Quiett, Detachment 3 deputy operations lead for the Orion program and Department of Defense (DoD) liaison for NASA said, "and because of the size, weight and the deep space requirements of the vehicle, they determined it needed to land in water." Orion's life support, propulsion, thermal protection, and avionics systems enable the spacecraft to extend the duration of her deep space missions, as part of the goal to eventually land on Mars. NASA marked a major milestone in the agency's program to reestablish America's crewed space program when it carried out EFT-1 with Orion on 5 December 2014. Orion launched atop a Delta IV rocket from Space Launch Complex 37B at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida, made two orbits of the planet during a four and a half hour mission, and splashed down in the Pacific. Anchorage, Military Sealift Command-crewed salvage ship USNS Salvor (T-ARS-52), Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 8 (HSC-8), EODMU-11, Mobile Diving and Salvage Company 11–17, Fleet Weather Center San Diego, and Fleet Combat Camera Pacific took part in the recovery when the spacecraft splashed down. Anchorage recovered Orion's crew module, forward bay cover, and parachutes. A bridge team especially trained for the operation maneuvered Anchorage alongside Orion, and lowered small boats to retrieve her. Divers attached lines from the small boats to guide the capsule toward Anchorage, where a NASA-designed winch hauled the module into the well deck.

Richard Cushing

Richard James Cushing (August 24, 1895 – November 2, 1970) was an American prelate of the Catholic Church. He served as Archbishop of Boston from 1944 to 1970 and was made a cardinal in 1958. Cushing's main role was as fundraiser and builder of new churches, schools, and institutions. Unlike his predecessor, he was on good terms with practically the entire Boston elite, as he softened the traditional confrontation between the Catholic Irish and the Protestant upper-class. He built useful relationships with Jews, Protestants, and institutions outside the usual Catholic community. He helped presidential candidate John F. Kennedy deflect fears of papal interference in American government if a Catholic became president.

Cushing's high energy level allowed him to meet with many people all day, often giving lengthy speeches at night. He was not efficient at business affairs, and when expenses built up he counted on his fundraising skills instead of cost-cutting. Cushing, says Nasaw, was "fun-loving, informal, and outgoing. He looked rather like a tough, handsome, Irish cop and behaved more like a ward politician than a high church cleric." His major weakness in retrospect was overexpansion, adding new institutions that could not be sustained in the long run and had to be cut back by his successors.

Early life and education
Cushing was born in City Point, South Boston on August 24, 1895. The third of five children, he was the son of Patrick and Mary (née Dahill) Cushing. His parents were both Irish immigrants; his father was originally from Glanworth, County Cork, and his mother from Touraneena, County Waterford. His father, who came to the United States in 1880, worked as a blacksmith and earned $18 per week in the trolley repair pits of the Boston Elevated Railway. Cushing received his early education at Perry Public Grammar School in South Boston, since there was then no parochial school for boys in Gate of Heaven Parish. Cushing dropped out of high school in his freshman year because of his compulsive truancy. He subsequently entered Boston College High School, a Jesuit college preparatory school. His tuition there was paid by his cousin, who was a priest of the Archdiocese of New York. He graduated from high school in 1913, receiving honors for Latin and Greek. Cushing was torn for a time between religion and politics. He originally wanted to be a politician, even earning money by speaking for politicians from the back of wagons. He twice considered joining the Jesuits, but came to the conclusion he "was cut out more for the active life and not the teaching apostolate."

He entered Boston College in 1913, becoming a member of the first freshman class following the college's move to Chestnut Hill. At Boston College, he was active in the Marquette Debating Society and elected vice-president of his sophomore class. Following the sinking of the RMS Lusitania in 1915, Cushing enlisted in the United States Army but was medically discharged for his asthma after a few weeks. After attending Boston College for two years, he began his studies for the priesthood at St. John's Seminary in Brighton in September 1915. He was assigned to continue his studies at the Pontifical North American College in Rome, but the escalation of U-boat activity prevented him from sailing across the Atlantic.

Priesthood
On May 26, 1921, Cushing was ordained a priest by Cardinal William Henry O'Connell at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross. His first assignment was as a curate at St. Patrick's Church in Roxbury, where he remained for two months. He was afterwards transferred to St. Benedict's Church in Somerville. In 1922, he appeared unannounced at the residence of Cardinal O'Connell to request an assignment as a missionary. The young priest declared he wanted to "take heaven by storm." O'Connell denied his request, and instead appointed him assistant director of the Boston office of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, an organization dedicated to raising funds for missions. He later served as director of the Society from 1929 to 1944. He was raised to the rank of Monsignor on May 14, 1939.

Episcopal career
On June 10, 1939, after Bishop Francis Spellman was named Archbishop of New York, Cushing was appointed, at the request of Cardinal O'Connell, as Auxiliary Bishop of Boston and titular bishop of Mela by Pope Pius XII. He received his episcopal consecration on the following June 29 from Cardinal O'Connell, at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, with bishops John Bertram Peterson and Thomas Addis Emmet, SJ, serving as co-consecrators. Cushing took as his episcopal motto: Ut Cognoscant Te (Latin: "That they may know thee").

As an auxiliary bishop, Cushing continued to serve as director of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, and was also named pastor of Sacred Heart Church in Newton Centre. Following the death of Cardinal O'Connell in April 1944, he served as apostolic administrator of the archdiocese.

Archbishop of Boston
Cushing was named the third Archbishop of Boston on September 25, 1944, following the death of Cardinal O'Connell and honoring his earlier request that Cushing succeed him. During Cushing's tenure, Boston would see the excommunication of Fr. Leonard Feeney for repeated refusals to be summoned to Rome. Feeney refused to back down from his position, although it has been reported that he was ultimately reconciled with the Church before his death.

Cushing, a member of the Third Order of St. Francis and the national protector of the Third Order in America, made a side trip to see Assisi, the birthplace of Saint Francis, while leading the National Pilgrimage to Lourdes and Rome. Prior to embarking on the trip, he joked that the closest he had ever been to Rome was South Boston's Castle Island. During this trip, he was awarded the Legion of Honour that day by French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman.

After the death of Pius XII, Cushing published a moving tribute to him. In 1959, Cushing published a biography of the late Pope Pius XII (1939–1958), depicting the late pope as "Pope of Peace". His work contributed to making the Roman Catholic Church acceptable to the general population at the time of then-Senator John F. Kennedy's run for the White House. Part of this work included reaching out to the non-Catholics of Boston after "the muscular style of involved Catholicism that Cardinal O'Connell brought to bear on issues of his day - religious, social, and political - in Boston and Massachusetts". Cushing was honored by B’nai B’rith as "Man of the Year" in 1956 for "a lifetime of distinguished service to the cause of human brotherhood under God and in further recognition of great leadership in the fields of education and community relations." He was a close correspondent with Robert E. Segal, longtime executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Metropolitan Boston, who played a key role in Jewish-Catholic relations in Boston. As well as this, Cushing maintained close contacts with Abram L. Sachar of Brandeis University. From the very start of Cushing's tenure as Archbishop of Boston, there was a major change in the relationship between official Bostonian Catholicism and Judaism, where there had previously been much mutual suspicion, Cushing sought closer relations. The author James Carroll has attributed Cushing's outlook to the (non-Catholic) marriage between his sister Dolly Cushing and a local Jewish haberdasherer, Dick Pearlstein. At the time this was very uncommon. Cushing was created Cardinal-Priest of Santa Susanna by the decision of Pope John XXIII in the consistory of December 15, 1958. His Good Friday sermon in 1961 was given at The Pentagon and was titled "Power - Divine and Human." Speaking in the midst of the Cold War, he preached about of how just as God has great power but often shows restraint, so too should nations, particularly when their military might is concerned.

He was one of the cardinal electors in the 1963 papal conclave, which elected Pope Paul VI. A close friend of the Kennedy family, he officiated at the marriage of John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Lee Bouvier in 1953, at which he also read a special prayer from Pope Pius XII, and baptized many of the Kennedy children. Cushing gave the prayer invocation at Kennedy's inauguration in 1961. The Cardinal also celebrated President Kennedy's funeral Mass in 1963 at St. Matthew's Cathedral, Washington, D.C., following Kennedy's assassination in Dallas, Texas. The day before the funeral, he gave a televised eulogy for the President. Cushing later defended Jacqueline Kennedy after her marriage to Aristotle Onassis in 1968. He received a large amount of hate mail and was contradicted by the Vatican.

After the first meeting between Church and Freemasonry which had been held on 11 April 1969 at the convent of the Divine Master in Ariccia, he was the protagonist of a series of public handshakes between high prelates of the Roman Catholic Church and the heads of Freemasonry.

The Boston Globe reported on June 5, 2002 that Church documents released the prior day show the Boston Archdiocese had knowledge of sexual misconduct by several priests who were allowed to remain in active ministry despite complaints. The documents show Cardinal Richard Cushing, who led the Boston archdiocese for 25 years until 1971, approved the moving of at least two priests into new parishes during the 1960s despite allegations of sexual misconduct.

Biography of Pope Pius XII
In 1959, Cushing published his only book, a biography of the late Pope Pius XII (1939–58). It is an almost hagiographic biography, written shortly after the death of the Pontiff. Cushing depicted him as the "Pope of Peace" who, armed only with the spiritual weapons of his office, triumphed over insidious attacks that seemed about to destroy the center of Christendom.

Second Vatican Council
At the Second Vatican Council (1962–65), Cushing played a vital role in drafting Nostra aetate, the document that officially exonerated the Jews of the deicide charge. His emotional comments during debates over the drafts were echoed in the final version:"We must cast the Declaration on the Jews in a much more positive form, one not so timid, but much more loving ... For the sake of our common heritage we, the children of Abraham according to the spirit, must foster a special reverence and love for the children of Abraham according to the flesh. As children of Adam, they are our kin, as children of Abraham they are Christ's blood relatives. 2. So far as the guilt of Jews in the death of our Savior is concerned, the rejection of the Messiah by His own, is according to Scripture, a mystery—a mystery given us for our instruction, not for our self-exaltation ... We cannot sit in judgement on the onetime leaders of Israel—God alone is their judge. Much less can we burden later generations of Jews with any burden of guilt for the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus, for the death of the Savior of the world, except that universal guilt in which we all have a part ... In clear and unmistakable language, we must deny, therefore, that the Jews are guilty of our Savior's death. We must condemn especially those who seek to justify, as Christian deeds, discrimination, hatred and even persecution of Jews ... 3. I ask myself, Venerable Brothers, whether we should not humbly acknowledge before the whole world that, toward their Jewish brethren, Christians have all too often not shown themselves as true Christians, as faithful followers of Christ. How many [Jews] have suffered in our own time? How many died because Christians were indifferent and kept silent? ... If in recent years, not many Christian voices were raised against those injustices, at least let ours now be heard in humility."

He was deeply committed to implementing the Council's reforms and promoting renewal in the Church. In an unprecedented gesture of ecumenism, he encouraged Catholics to attend Billy Graham's crusades. Cushing strongly condemned Communism, particularly the regime of Josip Broz Tito in Yugoslavia.

Due to advanced illnesses Cushing's resignation as Boston's archbishop was accepted on September 8, 1970. Upon his resignation, Senator Ted Kennedy stated: "For three-quarters of a century [Cushing's] life has been a light in a world that cries out for illumination. He will never have to account for his stewardship, for if his goodness is not known to God, no one's ever will be."

Death
Less than two months after his resignation, on November 2, 1970 (the feast of All Souls Day), Cushing died peacefully in his sleep of cancer at the Cardinal's Residence in Brighton, Massachusetts, aged 75. He was surrounded by his brother and sisters and his successor, Archbishop Humberto Medeiros. Cushing was buried in Hanover, Massachusetts at the Portiuncula Chapel on the grounds of the Cardinal Cushing Centers.

Conejo Valley Botanic Garden

Conejo Valley Botanic Garden is located in Thousand Oaks, California, and consists of a peak with vista views along with 15 hillside botanical gardens. It provides a teaching laboratory for what flora works and what does not work in the Conejo Valley.

The 33 acre site consists of a vast variety of endemic plants, water-conserving plants, oak trees, and indigenous wildlife. A children's garden area was added in March 2003, known as Kids’ Adventure Garden. Although the garden itself keeps open most days, Kids’ Adventure Garden and nursery plant sales are only open on certain days. Admission to the garden is free.

Although its main entrance is found at 400 West Gainsborough Road, it is also accessible from Conejo Community Park, located at the intersection of Hendrix and Dover Avenues.

The property was first acquired in 1973, while the first parts of the botanical gardens began to emerge in 1976. It is operated by the nonprofit Conejo Valley Botanic Garden, Inc. It lies across the street from Tarantula Hill, the highest point in Thousand Oaks.

Overview
It consists of a plant sanctuary on a hill overlooking the Conejo Valley. The hill contains 15 unique, hillside specialty gardens. It is home to a variety of hiking trails, which interconnect with other paths leading to various overlook points from the hill. The garden's many hill paths lead past fruit trees, sections of desert, native plants, Mediterranean plants, herbs, and a butterfly garden. The 1-mile Nature Trail follows a creek, which descends into a forested, willow- and oak-filled canyon. It is also home of a bird habitat that is a conservation effort to provide sustenance and sheltering environments for birds and other fauna.

Management
A 50-year lease agreement between the Conejo Valley Botanic Garden Inc. and Conejo Recreation & Park District was signed on October 18, 1973, with the organization paying $1 annually in rent. A term of the lease requires the garden to not charge for entry. The organization receives no funding from public agencies and remains exclusively dependent on donations.

Specialty gardens
Its botanical gardens include an Australian garden, a bird habitat, a butterfly garden, an oak-tree grove, rare-fruit orchard, extensive salvia collections, and more.

Its botanical gardens consist of 15 unique hillside gardens:

 * The Native Plant Garden and Native Meadow feature species native to California, including shrubs, flowers and trees. It includes species such as Santa Cruz Island Ironwood and California holly, which gave Hollywood, CA its name. Also in this garden is a tree of the world's tallest tree species, namely the Coast redwood from Northern California, and also the biggest tree species in the world, Giant sequoia redwood.
 * Lillian's Meadow showcases perennials, trees, and shrubs that thrive with minimal water. The Penstemon collection provides colorful flowers throughout the year. The garden is a visual guide to low-maintenance native species with natural landscaping.
 * The Salvia Garden depicts Salvia which require little water. Many of the world's 750 species of Salvia are represented, including ten California natives. The Salvias represented are in a variety of colors, shapes, and fragrances. It has a vast number of Salvia iodantha.
 * The Butterfly Garden provides nectar and other food sources for butterflies and caterpillars. The garden provides species that serve the needs of butterflies, including a variety of plants with varied bloom periods. A sign lists commonly observed species: Monarch, Western Tiger Swallowtail, Anise Swallowtail, Mounrning cloak, Marine blue, Fiery Skipper, Funereal Duskywing, Cabbage White, Gulf Fritillary, and Painted Lady.
 * The Mediterranean Garden contains species from five countries that share the Mediterranean climate.
 * The Herb Garden exhibits an extensive collection of aromatic-, kitchen-, and medicinal herbs. Included are visual and aromatic tea and mint herbs. There is also a planting of “legendary herbs” at the site.
 * The Bird Habitat contains a water source and species that provide a year-round food source for avifauna. Work began on the garden in 1996 and it occupies one-third of an acre. The habitat attracts local- and migratory birds. Year-round bird species present include oak titmouse, mourning dove, Western scrub-jay, lesser goldfinch, black phoebe, California towhee, northern mockingbird, house finch, and spotted towhee.
 * The Australian Garden features an extensive collection of species from Australia, including tree species such as Red Flowering Gum, Coolgardie gum, Illawarra Flame Tree, Rock Thryptomene and Australian silver oak. Plants include Pink Melaleuca, Red and Green Kangaroo Paw, among others.
 * The Desert Garden is located near the hilltop and exhibits desert trees and succulents such as cacti, euphorbias and aloes. Some are native to Southern California, while others are endemic to Mexico, South Africa, and other desert regions of the world. Some species represented are Ponytail palm, Foxtail, Silver dollar plant, Jade plant, and a 7–8 feet tall Barbary fig.
 * The Tranquility Garden was planted in Japanese garden style and showcases California native species. It was developed and dedicated in 1997.
 * The Rare Fruit Orchard showcases a large variety of fruit trees. Installed by the California Rare Fruit Growers, the garden exhibits 130 trees including 40 species from 35 different countries. Some species include a Nectarine Panamint, Black Mulberry, Strawberry Guava, Black Mission Fig, and a Kodota Fig.
 * Sage Hill features over one hundred native plant species. The top of the hill features panoramic views of the entire Conejo Valley, including panorama views of Thousand Oaks, Newbury Park, the Simi Hills and the Santa Monica Mountains.
 * Kids’ Adventure Garden has a tree house, zoo garden, dinosaur topiaries, fun paths, and creek access.

Furthermore, the Trail of Trees exhibits a total of 72 trees, including 50 different tree species. Each tree is labeled with its family, botanical and common names, along with country of origin and planting date. Represented are the golden trumpet tree, the national tree of Brazil, as well as Chinese pistache, tulip tree, Prunus serrulata 'Kanzan', cockspur coral, American storax, shoestring acacia, and others.

Garden trails are found throughout the gardens. Little Loop Trail leads above the creek through chaparral and around a meadow. The longer, 1 mi Nature Trail follows the creek and descends into a shady, oak-canopied canyon just below the hill with the botanical gardens. After 1/4 mi, steep wooden steps bring the path down into the canyon. After exploring the creek-bed for 1/2 mi, the trail climbs out of the ravine and returns to the main garden area.

Eli Fara

Eli Fara (born 21 May 1967) is an Albanian singer. Prior to 2000, she was awarded the Merited Artist of Albania by the Government of Albania.

Life and career
Fara was born on 21 May 1967 in the city of Korçë, then part of the People's Socialist Republic, present Albania. She is of Aromanian descent. She first came to prominence as a performer of the urban folk songs of her home region. In 1988, she was invited to appear at the National Folklore Festival in Gjirokastër. Albania had no record industry to speak of prior to the fall of Communism and as late as 1993 it was still only possible to buy cassette albums by a handful of artists - one of whom was Eli Fara. She has spent much of the intervening period overseas but has remained very popular in her native country. In recent years she has recorded more modern music although she still sings some of the folk songs from Korçë that first brought her to the attention of the Albanian public. In 2012, Fara was a finalist at Kënga Magjike (The Magic song) with "Romale", a song mixed with various genres.

René Fontaine

Jacques Noe René Fontaine (November 5, 1933 – March 17, 2012) was a politician in Ontario, Canada. He was a Liberal member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1985 to 1990, and was a cabinet minister in the government of David Peterson.

Background
Fontaine was educated at the University of Ottawa. He was vice-president of a sawmill in Hearst. In 1977, he declared it a "bilingual municipality". Fontaine also served as president of Maison Renaissance and Arc en Ciel in Hearst.

Politics
He served as a municipal councillor in the northern town of Hearst from 1963 to 1966, and was the town's mayor from 1967 to 1980.

He was elected to the Ontario legislature in the 1985 provincial election, defeating Progressive Conservative René Piché in Cochrane North, a large riding in the province's northeastern corner. Fontaine was the only Liberal MPP elected from northern Ontario, and was appointed to cabinet as Minister of Northern Affairs and Mines. In October 1985, Fontaine announced that the Ministry would be reorganized as the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines. He said the government would spend an additional $100 million in the north on development projects. Bud Wildman criticized the announcement as a one-shot infusion and that after five years there would be no more money.

In June 1986, opposition MPP Andy Brandt disclosed to the legislature that Fontaine had failed to disclose ownership of 17,000 shares in Golden Tiger, a mining company operating in Ontario and Quebec. Fontaine acknowledged his mistake, saying that he had forgotten to disclose the shares as required be Peterson's conflict-of-interest guidelines. He resigned both his portfolio and his seat in the legislature on June 26, stating that he wanted to be exonerated by the people of his riding in a by-election. The Progressive Conservatives and New Democratic Party refused to run candidates, and described the entire affair as farcical. Fontaine easily defeated a spread of minor candidates; he was not immediately re-appointed to cabinet, but served as a parliamentary assistant in the first part of 1987.

Peterson's Liberals won a landslide majority government in the 1987 provincial election, and Fontaine was re-elected by almost 4,000 votes over Len Wood of the NDP. He returned to cabinet as Minister of Northern Development, and retained this position until August 8, 1990. He did not seek re-election in the 1990 provincial election.

There is currently a Hearst (René Fontaine) Municipal Airport in Hearst.

Talk:Clodia (wife of Metellus)

Untitled
The identification of Catullus' Lesbia with Clodia is not universally accepted. In particular, there are several major chronology issues, a few inconsistencies with Catullus' poetry, and several other candidates (for instance any of her 3 sisters?). When there were a million people in Rome at the time, and it can not be conclusively shown that Lesbia is indeed from the upper class, some people think the probability is too low. Kenneth Charles 00:00, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

In fact Suzanne Dixon, Reading Roman Women (London: Duckworth, 2001), pp. 133-156 has fairly convincingly demolished the Lesbia / Clodia identification; has there been a defense of the identification since? Frippo 17:28, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

The Wikipedia article on Mark Anthony states that he gave his step-daughter, Clodia, in marriage to cement his alliance with Octavian. The article on Octavian does not mention this marriage, though it is confirmed in Suetonius' life of Augustus. The article on Clodia does not report her marriage to Octavian - which while not of long duration, is certainly worth mentioning given the parties involved.

I am wondering whether the Clodia in the eponymous article and the Clodia referred to from mark Anthony's article are one in the same?

Aristotelle 13 October, 2005

It seems like it is like this: in the Mark Antony article, Clodia is refererred to as "Antony's step-daughter". At the time of the marriage between Clodia and Octavius (43BC), Mark Antony was married to Fulvia, why had indeed been married to Publius Clodius Pulcher, Clodia's father (according to the Fulvia article), until he died in 53BC. The confusion seems to come from the fact that Publius's sister was also called Clodia; this is the Clodia that the Clodia article refers to, and the Clodia that Catullus wrote about in his poems. I'll try to clearify this in the Clodia article. Baszoetekouw 16:38, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Tercia or Tertia? —Tamfang 01:54, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Second marriage?
Actually, I believe Lucullus was married to Clodia's youngest sister Clodia, not the Clodia of Caelius and probably Catullus. It's an easy mistake to make, since they were both Clodias.

Thomas Fleming says "Clodius... was accused of having affairs with his sisters Clodia, both with the wife of Lucullus and with the more notorious Clodia, former wife of Metellus" (http://www.chroniclesmagazine.org/cgi-bin/booklog.cgi/Thomas_Fleming.Cicero_I.html?seemore=y)

My Latin professor had a book that talked about it too, but I don't own a copy of it. I think it was Catullus and His World, by T.P. Wiseman, which is a fairly authoritative source.

Plutarch is pretty vague about which Clodia it actually was that Lucullus divorced. He calls her dissolute and wicked, but that doesn't necessarily mean the most famous Clodia.

 * I disagree. Plutarch explicitly says that Lucullus' wife was the youngest of the sisters, see. Cicero's Life 29.4. 212.87.13.78 (talk) 13:26, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Again, it's an easy mistake to make. I just wanted to point this out. I got tripped up on my Latin final exam by this, so I figured I should let someone know it's incorrect.

Name change
Weren't Clodia and her brother born into the Claudius family but chose to change their name to distance themselves from the social snobbery of old families? I heard this from a Latin teacher but can think of no references to printed work. Storeye 11:11, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Affair with Cicero?
Where in the world did the part about Cicero having an affair with Clodia come from, or that this lay behind the divorce with Terentia? This isn't sourced, and reeks of pure and amateurish speculation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.163.254.212 (talk) 03:28, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps two pages: Clodia Metelli and Clodia Luculli?
Also one for the wife of Marcius Rex? 41.241.48.74 (talk) 14:11, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Claudia Pulchra article
This is copied from the discussion page there, concerning the Relatives of Publius Clodius section:

I'm pretty sure this isn't correct. The sisters of Clodius are given as between three and five. He was the youngest of the family except the sister who married Lucullus, I think. And only Clodia Luculli and Clodia Metelli (the second and elder of whom is generally given as Catullus's Lesbia, although others have argued that Lesbia was Clodia Luculli or someone else entirely) were his full sisters, the other siblings coming from another marriage of the father's. One of the other sisters married Quintus Marcius Rex. At least both his full-sisters changed their names (again, I think. If I were sure I'd change it). And weren't they all called Pulchra? I've seen Clodia Metelli's childhood name given as Claudia Pulchra Tercia; Claudia Pulchra Tertia; and Claudia Pulchra Tertulla. 41.241.3.105 (talk) 20:39, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Skinner's book
Marilyn Skinner has just published Clodia Metelli: The Tribune's Sister (Oxford University Press, 2011). Cynwolfe (talk) 11:29, 27 September 2011 (UTC) Two books in which Clodia is the central character were written by Canadian author William G. Hardy during the 1950's, basically pivoting around Clodia's relationships with Catiline and Catullus but also piecing most of the characters and political manoevering of the times into a very enjoyable read. They were titled 'The City of Libertines' and 'Turn Back The River.' Hardy wrote several other books covering characters of that period.-Nabi — Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.122.174.10 (talk) 01:41, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Latin and grammar
When writing in Latin, there is no punctuation. A sentence is typically shown to have ended by placing the verb at the end. Since the quotes that are in Latin are followed by the English translation, there is no need for punctuation marks in the Latin. I assume this was done in error, or as a nicety for neophytes of Latin. However, this is not necessary since there is a translation. Please change this.

 * I disagree, punctuation is common when writing in Latin. Just inspect any edition of any of the ancient authors. 212.87.13.78 (talk) 12:32, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Quadrantaria
There is no explanation of the meaning of Clodia's nickname, Quadrantaria, nor why or how she acquired it. If anybody happens to know, could they please add some explanatory words? I'm happy to do so myself, but I'd have to do some research and I'm very busy with work right now. Thanks. Mpaniello (talk) 21:56, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Pro Caelio quote length?
In the Controversy section, there appears a lengthy quotation from the Pro Caelio. It doesn't seem to add anything to the article, since many of the major points are addressed elsewhere in the section. This quotation seems out of place in the article as a whole. Thoughts? Justanincrediblypreciousflower (talk) 18:57, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
 * The quote doesn’t seem too long to me. It is useful in that it gives a flavour of the kind of thing which was said about her in the trial. Sweet6970 (talk) 13:15, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

USS Arlington (LPD-24)

USS Arlington (LPD-24), a San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock, is the third ship of the United States Navy to be named for Arlington County, Virginia, the location of the Pentagon and the crash site of American Airlines Flight 77 during the terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001. Like her sister ships, USS New York (LPD-21) and USS Somerset (LPD-25), she is named in commemoration of the attacks. Steel taken from the Pentagon after the attacks is displayed aboard in the ship's museum.

Construction
Arlington's keel was laid down on 26 May 2008, at Northrop Grumman's Ingalls shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi. Builder's Trials of the ship started on 21 August 2012. These were completed on 30 August 2012. She completed Navy acceptance sea trials on 2 November 2012. The US Navy formally accepted the ship on 7 December 2012. Arlington arrived at her homeport of Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia on 22 March 2013 in preparation for commissioning. Officially, she was commissioned on 8 February 2013, but her ceremonial commissioning occurred on 6 April 2013 at Naval Station Norfolk. Originally scheduled as the third ship of the San Antonio class, she was the eighth to be commissioned. Mrs. Joyce Rumsfeld, wife of former United States Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, is the ship's sponsor.

Operational history
In August 2013, Arlington conducted trials with NASA's Orion spacecraft.

In October 2015, Arlington embarked upon her maiden deployment to the 5th and 6th Fleet Areas of Responsibility as part of the USS Kearsarge (LHD-3) Amphibious Ready Group, along with the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit. During the deployment, Arlington transited 36,740 nautical miles and conducted port visits in Lisbon, Portugal, Souda Bay, Greece, Eilate, Israel, Aqaba, Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. and Marseille, France.

According to the Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group & 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit's post-deployment brief (UNCLASS), activities included Maritime Security Operations & MSO Patrol along with FICE in support of JCPC (Joint Combined Planning Cell) Kingdom of Saudi Arabia which coordinated coalition support against the Iranian backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. Additionally, Arlington provided assistance to a disabled vessel while transiting the Gulf of Aden 23rd December, 2015. Embarked personnel included the Marines with Combat Logistics Battalion 26, Fox Company and Echo Battery, Battalion Landing Team 2/6, 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (26th MEU). In March 2016 Battery E, 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 26th MEU disembarked Arlington to provide counter battery support during Operation Inherent Resolve.

In May 2019 she was deployed to the Persian Gulf due to reported concerns about Iranian activities. In April 2022 Arlington was deployed to Icelandic waters to take part in the NATO exercise Northern Viking 2022.

Hill and Barlow

Hill & Barlow was a law firm in Boston, Massachusetts that was dissolved on December 7, 2002 after 106 years of business. Founded in 1899, the firm had been one of the city's oldest and most elite firms, and was also the 12th largest in Boston at the time of its dissolution, employing 138 lawyers. The firm was founded by Arthur D. Hill, known for defending the anarchists Sacco and Vanzetti. Hill began his practice in 1895 and joined forces in 1899 with Robert Homans and Robert Barlow to form Hill & Barlow. Nevertheless, the firm celebrated its 100 year anniversary in 1895.

By 1965, the firm, now called Hill Barlow Goodale & Adams, had 11 partners and 7-8 associates. In this same year, Hill Barlow Goodale & Adams merged with Peabody Koufman & Brewer and changed the firm name to Hill & Barlow. This was the first merger in Boston in 30 years and created one of the largest firms in the city with 31 lawyers.

The firm was incorporated in the early 1990s, meaning that employees could enjoy the tax benefits available to employees of a corporation. By this time, H&B had grown to 123 lawyers and was considered a mid-size firm.

Prior to its dissolution in 2002, Hill & Barlow attempted to prevent liquidation by focussing more on individual practice groups and cutting back on staff.

A group representing authors and movie producers were the first to leave for Fish & Richardson in January 2002. Yet, the final blow to Hill & Barlow occurred on December 6, 2002 when approximately 23 lawyers, one third of the firm, left in 2003 to eventually join Piper Rudnick (now DLA Piper). These 23 individuals primarily comprised the real estate sector of the firm (that generated 30 percent of the firm's revenue ), Elliot Surkin, a real estate attorney who served 35 years at the firm commented to the press: "We didn't have confidence in going forward. The firm [Hill & Barlow] should dissolve. I saw it happening over the years. The firm was not operating successfully. Five or 10 years ago it could have done something." Surkin was later announced as managing partner of Piper Rudnick's new Boston office. The sudden departure of the real estate attorneys was catastrophic to Hill and Barlow due to the firm's reputation for representing complex equity and mortgage cases for development projects.

Remaining attorneys reported feeling "blindsided" by the unexpected upheaval, but those departing felt that the planned restructuring was coming too late.

Attorney compensation
One of the main gripes that dissatisfied staff had with H&B was economics and compensation. By the late 1980s and '90s, the real estate sector of the firm had become by far the most lucrative practice. Many real estate litigators on staff felt that they were carrying the firm's economic viability; thus being unfairly compensated (the same as less-lucrative attorneys and sectors within the practice).

From 1965 until 1999, H&B used a formula system administered by an autonomous compensation committee. In the mid 1980s, the firm attempted to minimize the disparity between the top producing partners from the bottom by taking out 20% of the profit and distributing it as rewards for service or for need. In the 1990s, additional compensation was distributed based on one’s contribution to the firm, i.e. managing partner role etc. Whatever portion of the 20% was not allocated by need or service was equally distributed among the partners.

In 1999, the firm adopted a judgment system of compensation. The management committee became fully responsible for distributing the profits, and decisions regarding distribution were made in advance and paid at the beginning of the year rather than a calculation of a three year average paid in December.

Historical cases
In the 1920s, Hill appealed the guilty verdicts of anarchists Sacco and Vanzetti.

During the McCarthy era of the early 1950s, H&B attorneys John Saltonstall and Calvin Bartlett defended individuals accused by McCarthy's House on UnAmerican Activities in a time when other firms refused to do so.

Notable alumni
Notable alumni of the firm include:
 * David Alan Hoffman, John H. Watson, Jr. Lecturer on Law at Harvard Law School
 * Robert Mueller, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation
 * Michael S. Greco, President of the American Bar Association, the Massachusetts Bar Association, the New England Bar Association, and the New England Bar Foundation

McClary on Beethoven and rape
Hi Hyacinth,

After all this time, I've finally posted an expanded section on the McClary-Beethoven-rape controversy. I did my very best to make it NPOV. But since I've already identified myself to you as a person offended by McClary's approach, I think it would be a good idea if you take a look.

Béla Bartók and Wikiquote

 * Halló Hyacinth, I could see that you started Béla Bartók. From Béla Bartók to Béla Bartók there are Multiple Redirects: Béla Bartók, Bela Bartok, Bela Bartók. To my understanding, the main article is misplaced. Béla Bartók or Bartók Béla (Hungarians write the family name first) should be the main article. Regards Gangleri | [ Th] | T 21:35, 2004 Dec 5 (UTC)
 * As to swapping the order, nonsense Nonsense ! Yes, they do that in Hungarian, but this is an English work. Their names are uniformly transposed in English; i took courses for 3 years running under an adult-immigrant Hungarian-American who never mentioned it; the only place i've ever heard it publicly done in English was the ever-pretentious Robert J. Lurtsema showing off his ability to pronounce and accent the vowels correctly in Kodaly Zoltan; Bartok Bela and Kodaly Zoltan are not even redirs;  yes, the Hary Janos Suite, but
 * "Hary Janos" "Zoltan Kodaly"
 * gets abt 9k Google hits and
 * "Hary Janos" "Kodaly Zoltan"
 * gets abt 1k, of which the first 10 either have "Kodaly, Zoltan" in the excerpt or "Zoltan Kodaly" in the page title or both (didn't bother looking in more detail).

Modular arithmetic
Thank you for your addition. It had been me who removed the applications part. Now, I am all for applications, and am happy with your recent addition. The reason for my original deletion was that the article had become a huge mess, and among other things the applications section had been inserted right in the middle of the article, before the main idea of the article was even developed :( So I just reverted the article to a much earlier version.

I am not sure I like the place of your external link, looks kind of unnatural, also in that subsection thing. I don't know how to put it better though. Do you think there is a way to put the external link at the very bottom, and make a footnote to it in the applications section? Maybe this is not a good idea, but still, I would like to ask you to take a look again at that external link and see if it can be put in a better way (better place).

Islamic music
Hullo Hyacinth,

I'm a musical ignoramus who nevertheless enjoys listening to Arabic, Persian, Afghan, and Indian pop music. All of those are areas that you would probably include under Islamic music. There are, indeed, significant similarities between the musical styles and, I understand, the underlying musical structures (the maqam, the raga, the dastgah).

However, I'm somewhat troubled by the category "Islamic music". I can see the various styles as being linked both by musical contacts BEFORE the Arabs erupted out of Arabia, and by contacts since then ... contacts facilitated by conquest and trade. But I'm not sure that I would describe the music as Islamic per se, given that Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, and Parsis were all playing the same kind of secular music. Describing it as Islamic strikes me as somehow just OFF or WRONG.

Except Sufi music, but even that employed widespread "Central Asian" or "Silk Road" styles for Islamic ends.

Also, the usual Wikipedia spelling is Qur'an, not Koran.

Perhaps it would be better to retitle the article as Islam and music? Or write an article about the commonalities in Silk Road or Central Asian music?

I don't have strong opinions about these matters -- nor do I have the requisite background in music theory to understand web pages like this one:

on Persian musical theory. Let's discuss these things -- and perhaps drag in a few of the sensible Muslims on Wikipedia, like Ifaqeer or Mustafaa. I've worked with them on several Islamic articles and they're both reasonable people. Zora 05:48, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Hyacinth, that quote relates to ARAB music, not to your so-called Muslim music. I don't feel that you've really engaged with my concerns.

Would you describe European music as "Christian" music? It was mostly written by Christians, and a significant portion of it was intended for church services. But that doesn't mean that European music is necessarily "Christian".

I like to listen to Indian filmi. Muslim or Hindu music? The categories just don't apply. It's INDIAN music. Zora 18:43, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I ended up spending HOURS rewriting the article to make it clear that there's a distinction between regional musical styles and devotional music. I added links to sites with sound samples.

I also deleted most of your writing on the Sufis. There was so much in it that was wrong or misleading. There are MANY Sufi orders, not just one, Sufism coalesced rather than being founded in one swell foop, the Mevlevi rituals are not representative of all Sufi rituals, and naats are Punjabi rather than Turkish, as implied by your description of the whirling dervishes.

I set up a link to an unwritten article on Sufi music, which might be worth doing in detail. There would be room there to talk about regional musical styles (Punjabi, Persian, Kurdish, Egyptian, Berber, Turkish, Albanian, etc.) and also about the spread of the various orders, some of which were purely local and some of which spanned continents. Each order would have its own characteristic rituals and musical forms. If you want to write about this, I'd recommend a lot of research and working with Ifaqeer, who IS a Sufi (though he's very quiet about it, in his modest way).

I really don't like being at loggerheads with you, since you strike me as an intelligent and sincere editor, and also because you know a whole heck of a lot more about music theory than I do. There's a lot more to be said technically about the modes and the melismatic vocal styles of Middle Eastern and South Asian music, and I don't even have the vocabulary for it. I hope I haven't pissed you off, and that we can work together productively. Zora 03:00, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

sawt is sout?
Do you know if the sawt referenced (to Toumas) as a secular genre at Arab music is the same thing as the sout referred to at music of Kuwait and music of Bahrain? If so, I don't know which transliteration is better, but they should be standardized. If not (or in any case), good work on your recent improvements to that and Muslim music! Tuf-Kat 22:23, Feb 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * I'll change the uses to sawt then, as my reference uses some odd spellings in other cases, and googling reveals more likely relevant hits for sawt than sout. Tuf-Kat 00:16, Feb 2, 2005 (UTC)

Salah, Adhan as revised by H. 2/2/05
I had to revert some of your changes to salah because putting the muezzin in the fard sentence was ambiguous (nah, plain wrong). The remaining ones were kinda good.

Actually, work badly needed on salah is to merge its content with the prayer section of the Five pillars of Islam article. But if that's not your cup of tea, somebody will.

Native American music
Nice work on Native American music and Pueblo music. I added a bit more after noticing your source is the same author as a book I recently picked up. Mine's a bit newer than yours, but he doesn't do a tribal breakdown, except for Arapaho music as an example. I'm not sure why you kept the Zuni and Hopi redirects in the infobox, but I have put them in parentheses to save space and added Arapaho and Navajo links. Is this agreeable to you? Tuf-Kat 04:17, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the pleasant greeting
Nice to get your friendly welcome message Hyacinth. It certainly has made me feel a lot friendlier towards this wikithing.

I'm learning how to suppress my outrage at some of the absolute tosh written as authoritative knowledge, and perhaps even begining to enjoy seeing things from other perspectives. Although I must confess i do have a bit of trouble biting my lip (or should that be keyboard) at some of the more american centric entries - the cowboy/cowhand issue is a case in point.

Hopefully I'll end up a well rounded wikiperson.

I have just spent some time trying to clarify some of the Arts related definitions - the subject is close to my heart (and livelihood) in particular 'visual art' and 'fine art' there was a lot of guesswork going on on these pages. then when i got here I noticed that there is a broader issue to do with the arts definitions. not suprising really it is one of the most misunderstood words - if indeed anyone really has an understanding of it.

part of the problem stems from the fact that art seems to mean seperate things for consumers and producers. it has a specialist proffesional language, perhaps even many, for the producers within the various disciplines, these languages are as important to production as a plumbers or a computer programmers. but these terms are used differently by the consumers such as the historians or the critics, who have a professional language of their own, and then again the terms are used even more hazily by the interested onlookers or art appreciators. I hope that the few changes that I have made are helpfull. It has made me try to map the landscape of these tricky relationships, perhaps when ive made sense of it ill be able to help iron out some of the really bad mismatches.

There is a real reluctance in the art pages to allow for overlap. for example; the term 'performing arts' does have a specific meaning, but many performing art forms are also visual art forms.

pah... look im sorry to labour this on my first message to you so ill go away and try to bring some clarity to the subject, a little bit at a time.

take care.

European Classical Music
After some thought, I am with your decision to label certain traditions "European", though the more usual phrase for European is "European art music", with proper placement on the disambiguation page, all should be well for the reader looking for "classical music".

Hi Hyacinth-- just letting you know that I've put back in the references that were added to the maracatu page because I know those sources and they are legitimate.

The Power of Wikipedia
I've been a user with a login for a long time, and finally the other day I saw an obvious error in an entry (hum) and decided I would quickly fix it. I thought I could do a better job, but due to time constraints I just chopped out the error.

This morning I came to see if I could improve it, and found Hyacinth had redone it very well. I touch an article, someone notices, and improves upon it.

I love this place, and I think I finally "get it".

[[Media: NonFreeImageRemoved.svg]] Tag
Yes, I agree. When I first started, the difference between  and  wasn't apparent to me, but now I see that they are different. I see you have already changed the tag, so I'll go back through my edits to make sure all of same type of mistakes are corrected. Sorry about that.

While we're on the subject, are all governmental images (in the U.S.) released into the public domain? I know that all federal works are, but how about images made by states, counties, and cities/towns? It would seem like they would be, but one never knows... Thanks, Bratsche 19:11, Mar 5, 2005 (UTC)
 * Ok. I think the fair use tag is used only when an image is copyrighted. Is this the case with the image? I noticed you had a couple images of music, etc. If you don't claim a copyright, then a GFDL would be more approriate, as you orginally stated. I'll tag them for you, if you want. Just let me know. Bratsche 19:27, Mar 5, 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, the fair use template states that "the image is copyrighted". But if the song itself is copyrighted, then probably the actual music is too. Is that the case with "A Hard Day's Work" ? Bratsche(talk) |undefined 20:12, Mar 5, 2005 (UTC)

Music pictures
I'm sorry about replacing those music pictures-- I really should have asked first. I guess you can do whatever you want with the old ones. And I'm going to go through the new ones in the next day or two and add credit to you. --humbly, bdesham 03:40, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Pitch
Pitch is a widely used term in the engineering field in applications that have nothing to do with music, e.g. in speech compression, digital speech, and speech encryption. Having the only listing for it be to an article which is mostly about the musical meaning is completely implausible. I will write a separate "pitch (sound) article and put it back in the disambig page. Noel (talk) 13:59, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Music School
Have you studied music through any music programs? If so, where and how did you enter it? I want to study music, but I'm afraid that since I did not receive any form of formal classical study I will not be accepted. Jaberwocky6669 23:41, Mar 12, 2005 (UTC)
 * I did not take any music classes in High school though I wanted to. I took 10 years of guitar lessons, but I finally realized that I wanted to play another instrument.  I didn't advance too well with the guitar  lol. I think I want to play a bowed instrument like a chello or violin.

Intervals
I'd like your feedback on the Intervals entry before I take any further action. Noetica has properly taken me to task for substantially revising an article which was on the request-for-discussion list, plus made a number of valid editorial comments. Before I make any more changes to the page, though, I'd like to hear from you, since you made the RFC request. --Wahoofive 06:41, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hello to you too!
Thanks for the message. Now, I have questions.

You seem to write mostly about more general music topics. Have you had much musical training? And do you know much about traditional ("classical") music pieces individually? (I tend to write about individiual pieces.)

I, myself, have been playing the cello for a while now, and I play chamber music with friends, I play in several orchestras, I play in musical shows ("Broadway" shows), and also I love to collect and listen to recordings, usually on CD.

Last question. How do you use those separate sub-page things? When you have like the User:Hyacinth/Music thing?

Thanks!

(Hapless Hero 14:30, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC))

Dominant
I'm baffled why you're so opposed to the term "dominant" in reference to Gregorian modes. I've never heard the word "cofinal," even in the class on Gregorian chant I took in graduate school. Although that word appears on the Mode page, it's only in an "also called" context; "dominant" is used as the principal term. "Dominant" is the word used in the Harvard Dictionary in this context.

I don't have a problem with having this in a "See also" section on the Dominant (music) page, since it is certainly a lesser usage, but I can't support the "more often cofinal" phrasing. --Wahoofive 17:16, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

On section deletions in "Music" article
Hyacinth: I am the person who has twice inserted the section for "Music in Society", including "Music and Culture", "Music as Entertainment", and "Music Industry". You have twice deleted it. Please explain. I know that the sections were not complete, BUT, they are relevant and I would say "significant" to any discussion of the topic "Music". THUS, I would request that the sections not be deleted. I am looking for individuals who can enhance these sections if I am not able to. Thank you. I look forward to your explanation. Gentlegeek 19:58, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Interval tables
The tables under the individual interval pages look nice, but in some cases the ratios don't correspond with the ones mentioned in the article. In a few cases there are several choices or ratio. Also, it would be nice to include meantone intervals, something I'd been planning for the Interval (music) page but hadn't gotten around to yet. —Wahoofive | Talk 23:40, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Nice work last night! I see you're using the same book I have been, for early music (Hoppin). Happy editing! Antandrus 15:33, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I think living without a car would be heaven... Should you find a more recent, thorough book on medieval music, let me know; Hoppin is badly out-of-date and I'm finding lots of things, especially in biographies, that got corrected by 1990s-era research. The general stuff on rhythmic modes, Gregorian chant and so forth all seems to be solid to me though. Antandrus 02:38, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hi Hyacinth. Sorry about that, I was about to replace the pui tag with PD-self but I had a powercut last night and if you look at WP:PUI I lost all the images I was in the middle of placing on there. I've placed a tag on the image description page; if you release it under a different status, then please feel free to replace it. Thanks Craigy (talk) 13:47, July 13, 2005 (UTC)

PostModern Music
I would like you to consider certifying the RFC on Nicholas Cimini as it is very clear that as soon as the RFC expires he intends to go right back to an edit war, and the other user on the talk page is advising him to go trolling and that he won't face any sanctions so long as he only attacks one person. Stirling Newberry 15:31, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

This is a witch hunt. Please discuss your issues in a grown-up manner.--Nicholas 15:48, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

I have no more interest in contributing toward that article. It's clear that certain wikipedians are not going to co-operate.--Nicholas 15:51, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Erm, I'm definitely not "advising him to go trolling and that he won't face any sanctions so long as he only attacks one person." I actually had a minor conflict with Nicholas on eugenics. Misrepresenting my position won't attract you any sympathy. Please read [|that talk page] again (Of course, it's possible you weren't referring to me, in which case I retract this statement). Flammifer 16:27, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Please talk to each other on your own talk pages. If you're not talking to me this is the wrong place. Hyacinth 21:18, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

Image:Take_Five_introduction.png
This transcription is inaccurate; it should be in the key of Gb and in 5/4 time (and if it's to be representative of how it was most often played by Brubeck, the second low Eb should be the same octave as the first). Image:Take_five_intro.gif is accurate and should be used. ¦ Reisio 11:36, 2005 July 27 (UTC)

 * Image:Take_Five_introduction.png is superior for a variety of reasons. It is in the prefered format (.png), credits its predecessors, and it is supported by a citation. Hyacinth 21:17, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

The format is trivial, and it has no predecessors, so can't possibly credit them. It is missing a copyright tag, which to me means User:SWB should be left a message to add one (and maybe even reupload with a PNG version). Don't you think the accuracy of the image is of more import than a vague copyright status? Worth giving it a little temporary leeway? If not I can upload a public domain PNG version to Commons right now and end the debate. I'd have done it already, but I've been waiting to get a similar jazz font. ¦ Reisio 01:03, 2005 July 28 (UTC)

Inharmonicity revisited
According to the history of the inharmonic article, you have a lot invested in it. I've suggested on its discussion page that I'd like to (a) incorporate into it information I've put into stretched tuning and (b) move it to "Inharmonicity". I'd like to solicit your response to stretched tuning before I do that.

Sorry to hear about your low siutation; hope that clears up. Veg0matic 20:07, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Persichetti
There's a question you may be able to answer posted on the Reference desk (about Thelonius Monk being a student of Vincent Persichetti). - Nunh-huh 22:35, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

Something wrong with Arabian comma
The numbers on Arabian comma make no sense. See the talk page. —Keenan Pepper 08:35, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Practicalism

notability
It is currently unclear whether this topic is notable enough for Wikipedia. In particular, since no references are cited whatsoever, it is not transparent to me whether practicalism is really a relevant concept in philosophy, or whether it is just a neologism? But that's partially due to me not being an expert in philosophy, and so I am hoping for expert opinions. Please add your comments below. --B. Wolterding 12:14, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not an expert either, but it seems practicalism is not widely used (only 155 Google Scholar hits) as a term to encompass all practical theories. The meaning of "practicalism" is obvious, and an expansion would be redundant to pragmatism; best to redirect this there (practical redirects there also). The last part about the system of government doesn't look right and doesn't explain why it's called practicalism. –Pomte 17:47, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your help - I will place the redirect. --B. Wolterding 09:12, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
