List of Canon products
Delete. Wikipedia is not a product catalog. -- Egil 17:35, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, a list of encyclopedic products. Kappa 18:55, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Man, are we repeating ourselves or what? Keep but de-redlink. Radiant_* 08:45, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, the only justification I could see for deletion would be if it is regarded as advertising. However I don't think this is. Corporate web sites only deal with current products. Historical information is useful. T Long 13:54, 2005 Apr 7 (UTC)
 * What?!?!? This is an encyclopedia we are creating. Wikipedia is not the WWW. Relevance, notability and all other qualities for an encyclopedia article must also be considered. I see very little value in this list as it stands. -- Egil 14:23, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Encyclopedias are supposed to be encyclopedic. --Gene_poole 06:08, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, Wikipedia is forging new ground as an encyclopedia. Just because traditional encyclopedias don't usually have lists of products (and I'm not sure this is always true - I'm sure examples can be found), doesn't mean that it isn't a good topic for an encyclopedia.  Encyclopedias are to learn facts and product lists are factual (albeit dry to read).  And specifically to Canon, lots of people are interested to learn what products Canon has produced.  For example, I am here because I was at a festival today and saw lots of Canon products.  The first thing I did when I came home was to go to Wikipedia to see if I could identify what models I had seen. Jon Backenstose 00:18, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Among all the asinine lists here, we find one worth-while and flag for its destruction. Why, oh why? --Asriel86 23:24, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I'm going to put it in sections as well... -- Lochaber 13:28, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. While I am a bit leery of the problem of "free advertising", only in encyclopedic entries such as these will you find both the positive and negative aspects of the products.  No, do not turn to a photo magazine; why would the editors of a photography magazine turn away their biggest source of revenue?  So, the fact that Wikipedia does not get any money from Canon is exactly why it should have entries for its products.  Wikipedia entries would contain information - given a good length of time for photographers and others to make entries - that would not be available on any Canon advertisement.  I guess it's a "checks and balances" thing.  JR
 * Delete Advertising does not belong here does it? Whats so important of a list of products from a company? Shall we start having lists of products from all companys? Foant 20:26, 2005 Apr 23 (UTC)

Dipylidium caninum

Dipylidium caninum, also called the flea tapeworm, double-pored tapeworm, or cucumber tapeworm (in reference to the shape of its cucumber-seed-like proglottids, though these also resemble grains of rice or sesame seeds) is a cyclophyllid cestode that infects organisms afflicted with fleas and canine chewing lice, including dogs, cats, and sometimes human pet-owners, especially children.

Adult morphology
The adult worm is about 18 in long. Gravid proglottids containing the worm's microscopic eggs are either passed in the definitive host's feces or may leave their host spontaneously and are then ingested by microscopic flea larvae (the intermediate hosts) in the surrounding environment. As in all members of family Dipylidiidae, proglottids of the adult worm have genital pores on both sides (hence the name double-pore tapeworm). Each side has a set of male and female reproductive organs. The uterus is paired with 16 to 20 radial branches each. The scolex has a retractable rostellum with four rows of hooks, along with the four suckers that all cyclophyllid cestodes have. Adult worm scolex is rhomboidal in shape with a transverse diameter of 250-500um.

Life cycle
The definitive host within this life cycle is primarily canines, and occasionally felines, and in rare cases young children. The intermediate hosts include fleas (Ctenocephalides spp.) and chewing lice. The first stage in the life cycle is when the gravid proglottids are either passed out through faecal matter, or actively crawl out of the anus of the host. The gravid proglottids once out of the definitive host release eggs. Then, an intermediate host (the larval stage of a flea or chewing louse) will ingest an egg, which develops into a cysticercoid larva. The cysticercoid larva remains viable, but is not infective to carnivores until the flea hatches to an adult and begins feeding on a host (e.g. a dog). Approximately 36 hours after the flea has consumed a blood meal, the infective metacestode develops inside the flea. The metacestode larva must be ingested in a flea by the dog or cat during grooming in order to develop. Humans can also become infected by D. caninum by accidentally ingesting an infected flea. In the small intestine of the definitive host, the metacestode develops into an adult tapeworm, which reaches maturity 4–6 weeks after ingestion. This adult tapeworm produces proglottids, and over time, the proglottids mature and become gravid and eventually detach from the tapeworm and the life cycle starts all over again.

Geographic Distribution
This parasite occurs worldwide in animals, such as dogs and cats, as well as in humans, though to a significantly lesser degree. It is the most common tapeworm of dogs and is relatively common in cats. Despite human diplydiasis being rare, instances have been reported from every inhabited continent.

Human instances of diplydiasis are reported globally, and unsurprisingly roughly one third of the cases occur in children less than 6 months of age. The most at-risk age group is those that range from 2 months to 4 years old.

Pet infections
Tapeworm infection usually does not cause pathology in the dog or cat, and most pets show no adverse reaction to infection other than increased appetite. The bulk of infections are asymptomatic and the infections that do result in symptoms are generally mildly so. Pets behavior may reflect the presence of anal discomfort and itching, or pruritus. This could result in the ‘butt-scooching” across the floor, grass or carpeting. It may be accompanied by slight gastrointestinal disturbances, as this is the region where the worms inhabit. Though not a pathology of the diplydiasis, the most unnerving sign of the infection is the presence of proglottids in the animals, or child's, feces. These proglottids can also be found near the perianal region, in the feces, and in diapers (children). The motile proglottids can actively crawl out of the anus of the infected animal/person and migrate small distances, thus potentially covering this array of neighboring surfaces. It is from these locations that the larval stage of the flea will come along and ingest them. Then the metacestode stage, a cysticercoid, develops in the coelomic cavity (abdominal cavity; main body cavity) of the flea larvae and remains there as the flea matures into an adult. These freshly passed proglottids are motile, allowing them to also be found on the floor and furniture, from a migration out of a pets anus and could be compared to resembling fly larvae, or maggots.

The other tapeworm infecting cats is Taenia taeniaeformis, though this form is much less commonly encountered than D. caninum.

A recent (2018) study using genetical analysis and experimental infections and life-cycles showed that two different distinct genotypes of D. caninum occur respectively in dogs and in cats, and suggested that two different species might be involved.

Human infections
A human infection with D. caninum is rare, but if an infection does occur, it is more likely to occur in young children. As of the early 1960s, the number of cases of D. caninum in the U.S. was a mere 21. Therefore, human infection of Dipylidium caninum, or diplydiasis, is a rare occasion. It is largely agreed across the parasitology community that despite the reports of this disease occurring, there are very likely numerous cases that have gone unnoticed and unreported because of its subtle and minor pathology in humans, in addition to its scarceness in clinical records. The adult tapeworm grows within the host for 3–4 weeks after initial infection. The number of parasites the host is initially infected with is directly related to the number of cysticercoid juveniles present in the fleas coelom. The load of parasites present in the humans is lower, luckily, as the life cycle is not occurring in the ideal conditions or species as humans are not the definitive host.

Many cases have an unexciting course of infection, as can be depicted in two cases occurring in the 1960s. The first case occurred in a 9-month-old female. Mother found motile proglottids the child's diaper, later identified as D. caninum. The child had no apparent signs or symptoms. The presumed source of infections was one of the family's  four Labrador retrievers, two of which were found to already have been infected with D. caninum. The second additional case occurred in an 18-month-old male. Mother found motile proglottids in the child's diaper and again, the child was symptom-free. A puppy in the household was found to be infected and thus was the source of the child infection. Young children and toddlers are at a greater risk of infection because of how they interact with their pets. A human may attain an infection by accidentally ingesting an infected flea through food contamination or through the saliva of pets. Most infections are asymptomatic, but sometimes these symptoms may be identified in an infected individual: mild diarrhea, abdominal colic, anorexia, restlessness, constipation, rectal itching, and pain due to emerging proglottids through the anal cavity.

Treatment and prevention
As with most tapeworm infections, the drugs of choice to kill adult tapeworms are praziquantel or niclosamide. Pets can be prevented from becoming infested with tapeworm if they are treated prophylactically with a product which kills the intermediate host (the flea) before the infective metacestode can develop. Some isoxazoline products are registered to prevent flea tapeworm infestations using this method.

Papal gentleman

A papal gentleman, also called a Gentleman of His Holiness, is a lay attendant of the pope and his papal household in Vatican City. Papal gentlemen serve in the Apostolic Palace near St. Peter's Basilica in ceremonial positions, such as escorting dignitaries during state visits and other important occasions. It is a local name for the old court position of valet de chambre. To be appointed is an honor. The appointee is an unpaid volunteer.

History

Papal Chamberlain was prior to 1968 a court title given by the pope to high-ranking clergy as well as laypersons, usually members of prominent Italian noble families. Many came from families that had long served the Papal Court over the course of several centuries, while others were appointed as a high honor, one of the highest the papacy conferred on Catholic laymen (often prominent politicians or wealthy philanthropists). They were originally selected from members of Italian royal and aristocratic families. They were members of the Papal Court and it was one of the highest honours that could be bestowed on a Catholic layman by the pope. Known as Chamberlain of the Sword and Cape (Cameriere Segreti di spada e cappa) when conferred upon laypersons, it was mostly an honorary position, but a chamberlain generally served the pope for at least one week per year during official liturgical or state ceremonies.

Present day
The title was abolished in 1968 by Pope Paul VI and replaced with the designation "Gentleman of His Holiness" for laypersons.

Prior to Vatican II they provided personal assistance to the pope on formal state occasions as members of the Papal Court. The Gentlemen of His Holiness are under the Prefecture of the Papal Household. They participate in civil ceremonies and formal receptions for heads of state, heads of government and others. They welcome dignitaries such as ambassadors and ministers who come to the Vatican or Castel Gandolfo to present their credentials and serve as guides, escorting them to meetings with the pope.

Of approximately 150 gentlemen who generally serve for at least one week per year during official functions, about two dozen are on staff at a time. They assist at papal audiences, including the Wednesday General Audiences, often bringing children to the pope for a blessing. In addressing an audience with the papal gentlemen, Pope Francis thanked them for their service and said,"The various Authorities and other personalities who visit the See of Peter experience their first contact with this House and receive their first impressions through you, dear Gentlemen. As your name indicates, the gifts of politeness and cordiality are therefore necessary to put these people at ease.'"

They also acted as pallbearers during the funeral for Pope Benedict XVI, carrying the body into St. Peter's Basilica.

Taran Noah Smith

Taran Noah Smith is an American businessman and former actor. He performed the role of Mark Taylor on the sitcom Home Improvement, for which he won two Young Artist Awards in 1992 and 1994.

Personal life
At 18, he gained control of his $1.5 million trust fund, which he accused his parents of squandering by purchasing themselves a mansion. His mother, Candy Bennici, stated in 2015, "Of course we didn't touch his money... It was in a trust fund. We couldn't have touched it if we wanted to. They were trying to get it when he was 17, and we were trying to protect it. Luckily the Marin courts were very good about it and didn't give it to them". He later said, "I'd gotten out of the teenage phase and realized my parents weren't doing anything wrong but were trying to protect me."

In 2001, Smith was quoted as saying, "I started Home Improvement when I was seven, and the show ended when I was 16. I never had the chance to decide what I wanted to do with my life. When I was 16, I knew that I didn't want to act anymore." At the age of 17, Smith married Heidi van Pelt on April 27, 2001. The marriage sparked much controversy due to the couple's age difference, as van Pelt was 16 years older. The couple filed for divorce on February 2, 2007.

In 2005, Smith and his then-wife formed a California-based non-dairy cheese manufacturer and restaurant, Playfood, specializing in vegan and organic foods. In 2014, he volunteered doing disaster relief with Communitere in the Philippines.

Smith is also the Technical Manager for the Community Submersibles Project, where he teaches people how to pilot submarines.

Smith is a vegan.

Oswego and Syracuse Railroad

The Oswego and Syracuse Railroad was formed on April 29, 1839, and the route was surveyed during the summer of that year. The Company was fully organized on March 25, 1847. The road was opened on May 14, 1848, and ran a total distance of 35.5 mi from Syracuse, New York to Oswego, New York. In 1872 it passed under the management of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad.

History
One of the oldest surviving railroad structures in New York State is the 1848 freight house of the Oswego and Syracuse Railroad in Oswego, New York. It is situated along West Utica Street, approximately one block west of the site of the former Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad (DL&WRR) depot.

For many years, the DL&WRR maintained offices in Old City Hall in village of Oswego built in 1836 to rival the Market House in Albany. It is a three-story brick structure. The third floor was wide open and used to provide drill space for the local militia during the winter months. The city built a new building a few blocks south in 1871.

By 1862, the passenger depot in Syracuse was located at the New York Central Railroad passenger depot where the baggage master was Arthur Hughes. The freight house was located West of New York Central Freight Houses in the 5th Ward. Freight agent was P. Bassett and tallyman was James Murray.

The railroad had stations in Syracuse, Baldwinsville, Lamsons, South Granby, Fulton, Minetto and Oswego.

Freight rail
An act was passed by the New York State Legislature during their assembly in 1847 which allowed the Oswego and Syracuse Railroad Company to carry freight provided they paid tolls to New York State.

Company management
In 1862, F. T. Carrington from Oswego was president and Allen Monroe from Syracuse was vice-president. Secretary was A. P. Grant and treasurer was Luther Wright, both from Oswego, along with George Skinner who was superintendent.

Directors of the company in 1862 included; F. T. Carrington, Luther Wright, A. P. Grant, J. Turrill, S. Doolittle, all of Oswego. Additionally, E. B. Judson, Allen Monroe, E. R. Wicks, T. T. Davis of Syracuse and R. H. King and H. H. Martin, both from Albany and M. Islam of New York City.

Syracuse, Binghamton and New York railroad
The Oswego and Syracuse Railroad consolidated with the Syracuse, Binghamton and New York Railroad in 1853 after the act was authorized by the New York State Legislature.

In 1860, the rail was authorized along with New York Central Railroad Company to build a station house in Geddes.

Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad
The DL&WRR bought the Syracuse, Binghamton and New York Railroad in 1869 and leased the Oswego and Syracuse Railroad on February 13, 1869. This gave them a branch from Binghamton north and northwest via Syracuse to Oswego, a port on Lake Ontario.

When the DL&WRR took over the Oswego and Syracuse Railroad in 1872, the road acquired the former hall for its shipping offices in the Great Lakes port. They held ownership until 1946.

Talk:Mortal Kombat II

Arcade release date
A TV show 11 years after the release of the game has been used to site an April 3, 1993 release. The show itself only said April. I find this source dubious.

Second, most databases and fan wikis say June 25, 1993. However, none of them have any visible sourcing.

Most likely, MKII was not in arcade prior to October 1993, and likely a month or two after. First, Gamespot mentions that it was release "just a year after" and "scarcely a year after" the first game, which was October 1992. Second, Play Meter reports that at the October 1993 expo, people were lining up for "a chance to play" Midway's "best new equipment", Mortal Kombat II. Other October 1993 newspapers also mention that a sequel to MK1 may be out "in a couple months". Finally, operating manuals for the arcade that are archived on the internet all appear to have an October 1993 printing date.

The evidence is fairly high that Icons is simply wrong, and no evidence at all for the June 25 date can be found. The system was likely out in 1993, but as of yet I haven't found any direct sourcing. -- ferret (talk) 20:36, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * The magazine Play Meter, in their November 1993 issue, does mention the arcade version of Mortal Kombat II being introduced at the AMOA Expo during October 21-23 in Anaheim, CA. It was released no later than January 1994, as the January 1994 issue of that same magazine mentions that it has been released by then, and given that the issue was released for Jan 1994 but likely written earlier, a 1993 release date is likely. - Aoidh (talk) 20:47, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

 * I find this source dubious They literally have the creators of Mortal Kombat 2 on the show how is it dubious? Does John Tobias and Ed Boon not know when MK 2 was released? Also to answer your question about the April 3rd date. It lists it as such in Midway Arcade Treasures 2 in the extra selection.--Fruitloop11 (talk) 00:00, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes. When we have a discrepancy between contemporary sourcing and sourcing that is decades later, it does cast doubt on the later sourcing. Neither Tobias or Boon say "It was released on April 3, 1993" in the Icons show. A narrator says it over a title card, with no attribution to either of them. As for Midway Arcade Treasures 2, I can't verify anything about that, can you find a video or similar? Either way, it's again a decade later as well. A video I found for Midway Arcade Treasures 2 showing MKII on the selection menu simply says "1993". -- ferret (talk) 00:11, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
 * 1 decade isnt that long ago though. What exactly don't you like about the April 1993 date? Were you not playing it in April of 1993? Do you think G4 just pulled the date put of thin air. Make it make sense. Fruitloop11 (talk) 00:18, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I feel like I've already explained it. I don't know where G4/Icons got the date. I just know it doesn't agree with contemporary sourcing. How can it have been released in April, yet in October at the expo it was new and unreleased? This simply doesn't line up. And yes, later sources sometimes pull things out of thin air. We regularly find that sources have printed things they got from Wikipedia that were wrong or even outright vandalism. It happens sometimes. The bottom line is the only thing we can say for "sure" is "1993". -- ferret (talk) 00:58, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Further evidence. Washington Post, in November 1993, published that WMS, the owner of Midway and manufacturer of MKII's machines, was blaming it's earnings shortfall on the delayed introduction of MKII, which had not been released yet. The same story was also carried by The Lost Angeles Times, Nov 1993. Chicago Tribute, January 1994 reported that WMS earnings were back up in December due to the release of MKII. And, again back in October 1993, USA TODAY reported that MKII was unveiled at the AMOA expo. A game cannot be "unveiled" if it was already released. Crain's Chicago Business, Dec 13, 1993, reports that 15,000 advanced orders had been taken by WMS for Mortal Kombat II, pretty clearly putting the release in December. Most sourcing is around the time of December 1993, but a few sources indicate cabinets were in the wild in November 1993. -- ferret (talk) 01:35, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I did find this article mentioning from December 5 saying that the machines in this local area were installed a couple of weeks beforehand, placing it in November, but most articles talking about the new machines are firmly in December. - Aoidh (talk) 01:48, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
 * @Aoidh Probably enough sourcing we can say "late 1993" you think? -- ferret (talk) 01:52, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I certainly think so. Here's another source with a new machine in place in early December, so I think late November/early December seems to be when most arcades were getting their new machines playing Mortal Kombat II. Here is an article from November 26 where a new MK2 cabinet got stolen at an arcade. Here is an article that supports the idea that the cabinet was absolutely not available in April, as this is an October article talking about a future release. - Aoidh (talk) 01:54, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Just a passing note - this actually isn't an abnormal situation for video games on this time period. There's also conflicting reports of the date something as popular as Super Mario Bros came out in the US. Sergecross73   msg me  11:19, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Act for the Settlement of Ireland 1652

The Act for the Setling of Ireland imposed penalties including death and land confiscation against Irish civilians and combatants after the Irish Rebellion of 1641 and subsequent unrest. British historian John Morrill wrote that the Act and associated forced movements represented "perhaps the greatest exercise in ethnic cleansing in early modern Europe."

Background
The Act was passed on 12 August 1652 by the Rump Parliament of England, which had taken power after the Second English Civil War and had agreed to the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland. The conquest was deemed necessary as Royalist supporters of Charles II of England had allied themselves with the Confederation of Kilkenny (the confederation formed by Irish Catholics during the Irish Confederate Wars) and so were a threat to the newly formed English Commonwealth. The Rump Parliament had a large independent Dissenter membership who strongly empathised with the plight of the settlers of the Ulster Plantation, who had suffered greatly at the start of the Irish Rebellion of 1641 and whose suffering had been exaggerated by Protestant propaganda, so the Act was also a retribution against those Irish Catholics who had started or prolonged the war.

Also money to pay for the wars had been raised under the 1642 Adventurers' Act, that repaid creditors with land forfeited by the 1641 rebels. These and other creditors had mostly resold their property interests to local landowners who wanted these recent property transfers reconfirmed by an over-riding Act, for the avoidance of doubt.

Preamble
Ten named leaders of the Royalist forces in Ireland, together with anyone who had participated in the Irish Rebellion's early stages and who had killed an Englishman other than in battle, lost their lives and estates.

Exclusion list
The Act includes a list of a 104 men who were excluded from pardon for life and estate. This list includes members of the nobility, the landed gentry, army officers, and clergy. It includes royalists as well as supporters of the Confederation. The first ten people on this list are: The list does not recognise many of the titles created by Charles I and Charles II, such as James Butler's Marquessate of Ormond, created on 30 August 1633
 * 1) James Butler, 12th Earl of Ormond
 * 2) James Touchet, 3rd Earl of Castlehaven
 * 3) Ulick Bourke, 5th Earl of Clanricarde
 * 4) Christopher Plunket, 2nd Earl of Fingal
 * 5) James Dillon, 3rd Earl of Roscommon
 * 6) Richard Nugent, 2nd Earl of Westmeath
 * 7) Murrough O'Brien, Baron of Inchiquin,
 * 8) Donough MacCarty, 2nd Viscount Muskerry,
 * 9) Theobald Taaffe, 1st Viscount Taaffe of Corren,
 * 10) Richard Butler, 3rd Viscount Mountgarret.

The Act made a distinction between the rebels of 1641 – who were deemed unlawful combatants – as against those who had fought in the regular armies of Confederate Ireland, who were treated as legitimate combatants provided that they had surrendered before the end of 1652. The 1641 rebels and the above-mentioned Royalist leaders were excluded from the pardon given to soldiers who had surrendered: they were to be executed when captured. Roman Catholic clergy were also excluded from the pardon, as the Cromwellians held them responsible for fomenting the Irish Rebellion of 1641.

The remaining leaders of the Irish army lost the vast majority of their estates, causing Catholic land ownership to fall to just 8% across the island. To have been merely a bystander was itself a crime, and anyone who had resided in Ireland any time from 1 October 1649, to 1 March 1650 and had not "manifested their constant good affection to the interest of the Commonwealth of England" lost three-quarters of their land. The Commissioners in Ireland had power to give them, in lieu thereof, other (poorer) lands in Connacht or County Clare in proportion of value and were authorised "to transplant such persons from the respective places of their usual habitation or residence, into such other places within that nation, as shall be judged most consistent with public safety."

This was interpreted by the English Parliamentarian authorities in Ireland who ordered all Irish land owners to leave for those lands before 1 May 1654 or be executed. However, in practice, most Catholic landowners stayed on their land as tenants and the numbers of those either transplanted or executed was small.

Protestant Royalists, on the other hand, could avoid land confiscations if they had surrendered by May 1650 and had paid fines to the Parliamentarian government. The Commonwealth initially had harsh plans to remove the formerly-Scottish Presbyterians from north-east Ulster – as they had fought with the Royalists in the later stages of the war. However, this was reversed in 1654, and it was ruled that the plantation would apply to Catholics only.

To Hell or to Connaught
In Irish popular memory of the Cromwellian Plantation, the Commonwealth is said to have declared that all the Catholic Irish must go "to Hell or to Connaught", west of the River Shannon. However, according to historian Padraig Lenihan, "The Cromwellians did not proclaim 'To Hell or to Connaught'. Connaught was chosen as a native reservation not because the land was poor; The Commonwealth rated Connaught above Ulster in this respect". Lenihan suggests that County Clare was chosen instead for security reasons – to keep Catholic landowners penned between the sea and the river Shannon. The Cromwellian transplantation, particularly in Ulster, is often cited as an early modern example of ethnic cleansing.

Some Irish prisoners were forcibly sent on ships to the West Indies where they became indentured servants on sugar cane plantations belonging to British colonialists. One of the best known islands the Irish flocked to when their period of indenture came to an end was Montserrat.

The reality was that a landowner and his family might be dispossessed and awarded land in Connacht, and be obliged to live there, generally as a tenant farmer. An example was Thomas FitzGerald of Turlough, whose parents were moved from Gorteens Castle to land granted in Turlough, County Mayo. The vast majority of the population, outside the 6 counties that would later be partitioned into Northern Ireland, were expected to remain where they lived, and to continue as tenant farmers or servants under the new freeholders.

Plantation
In the next of the Plantations of Ireland, the confiscated land was granted to the "Adventurers". The new owners were known as "planters". The Adventurers were financiers who had loaned the Parliament £10 million in 1642, specifically to reverse the 1641 rebellion, and the Act had been signed into law by Charles I just before the start of the Wars of the Three Kingdoms (see Adventurers' Act 1640). Many of Ireland's pre-war Protestant inhabitants also took advantage of the confiscation of Catholic-owned land to increase their own holdings, buying land off the Adventurers. In addition, smaller grants of land were given to 12,000 veterans of the New Model Army who had served in Ireland, much of which was also resold. Decisions on confiscations and awards were based on mapping and data in the Down Survey made in 1655–56.

Confirmation
In June 1657, the Act of Settlement 1657 "for the Assuring, Confirming and Settling of lands and estates in Ireland" ratified previous decrees, judgments, grants and instructions made or given by the various officers and councils in applying the 1652 Act.

Mitigation
All Ordinances and Acts of Parliament passed during the English Civil War and the Interregnum were considered void after the English Restoration as they had not received Royal assent.

In 1662, an Act of Settlement 1662 (after the Restoration) aimed to reduce its effect on Protestant and "innocent Catholics". This Act returned some lands to prominent Irish Royalists, but left most of the land confiscated from Irish Catholics in Protestant hands.

Willie Hoppe

William Frederick Hoppe (October 11, 1887 – February 1, 1959) (surname rhymes with "poppy" ), was an internationally renowned American professional carom billiards champion. Hoppe is widely considered one of the greatest billiards players of all time and was posthumously inducted into the Billiard Congress of America Hall of Fame in 1966.

Biography
Hoppe was born in Cornwall on Hudson, New York, on October 11, 1887. He won 51 world titles between 1906 and 1952, in three forms of carom billiards: three-cushion, (four sub-disciplines of) balkline and one-cushion caroms. He died on February 1, 1959, in Miami, Florida. He is buried in Whitemarsh Cemetery in Ambler, Pa.

Professional career
Hoppe won 51 world titles between 1906 and 1952. He was also known for various long-standing high, including scoring 2,000 contiguous points in straight rail, 622 points in 18.2 balkline, and a run of 25 points in three-cushion. He once made a tournament average of 1.333, a world record at that time.

Hoppe published his first book, Thirty Years of Billiards, in 1925, and followed this up many years later with the introductory work, Billiards As It Should Be Played, in 1941. Hoppe's peculiar style of stroke was a result of his career as a child prodigy. He barely reached the table and had to stand on a box. In Billiards As It Should Be Played Hoppe emphatically advised players not to use his way of directing the cue.

After winning the world title in 1952, Hoppe retired from title play and became a goodwill ambassador for the sport by conducting a series of exhibition matches. Hoppe may have been the only billiards player to ever put on an exhibition in the White House. He performed before President William Taft in 1911.

He was ranked number 1 on the Billiards Digest 50 Greatest Players of the Century.

Titles and tournament wins

 * World 18.1 Balkline Championship (1906, 1908-1911, 1914-1927)

Table (database)

In a database, a table is a collection of related data organized in table format; consisting of columns and rows.

In relational databases, and flat file databases, a table is a set of data elements (values) using a model of vertical columns (identifiable by name) and horizontal rows, the cell being the unit where a row and column intersect. A table has a specified number of columns, but can have any number of rows. Each row is identified by one or more values appearing in a particular column subset. A specific choice of columns which uniquely identify rows is called the primary key.

"Table" is another term for "relation"; although there is the difference in that a table is usually a multiset (bag) of rows where a relation is a set and does not allow duplicates. Besides the actual data rows, tables generally have associated with them some metadata, such as constraints on the table or on the values within particular columns.

The data in a table does not have to be physically stored in the database. Views also function as relational tables, but their data are calculated at query time. External tables (in Informix or Oracle, for example) can also be thought of as views.

In many systems for computational statistics, such as R and Python's pandas, a data frame or data table is a data type supporting the table abstraction. Conceptually, it is a list of records or observations all containing the same fields or columns. The implementation consists of a list of arrays or vectors, each with a name.

Tables versus relations
In terms of the relational model of databases, a table can be considered a convenient representation of a relation, but the two are not strictly equivalent. For instance, a SQL table can potentially contain duplicate rows, whereas a true relation cannot contain duplicate rows that we call tuples. Similarly, representation as a table implies a particular ordering to the rows and columns, whereas a relation is explicitly unordered. However, the database system does not guarantee any ordering of the rows unless an  clause is specified in the    statement that queries the table.

An equally valid representation of a relation is as an n-dimensional chart, where n is the number of attributes (a table's columns). For example, a relation with two attributes and three values can be represented as a table with two columns and three rows, or as a two-dimensional graph with three points. The table and graph representations are only equivalent if the ordering of rows is not significant, and the table has no duplicate rows.

Hierarchical databases
In non-relational systems, hierarchical databases, the distant counterpart of a table is a structured file, representing the rows of a table in each row of the file and each column in a row. This structure implies that a row can have repeating information, generally in the child data segments. Data are stored in sequence of physical records.

Spreadsheets
Unlike a spreadsheet, the datatype of a column is ordinarily defined by the schema describing the table. Some SQL systems, such as SQLite, are less strict about column datatype definitions.

Delete, non-notable. Article is about member of a band ("The Flowers of Romance;" not the original 1976 band) whose article was sent to VfD (see here); subsequent article speedily deleted due to previous VfD vote. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 17:45, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

 * Comments: I would have suggested merging this content to an article about the band, if the band itself was notable enough to warrant its own article (i.e., band takes the name of a 1976 punk group and meets with success in the Baltic States). As the editor responsible is apparently a fellow band member himself, then this might be deemed spam or vanity, as well. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 17:45, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Palgrave, Ontario

Palgrave is a Compact Rural Community and unincorporated place in the Town of Caledon, Regional Municipality of Peel in the Greater Toronto Area of Ontario, Canada. It is about 10 km north of Bolton and about 50 km northwest of Toronto. Palgrave is located east of Orangeville, south of Alliston, west of Newmarket and north of Brampton.

Geography
Palgrave is situated on the Oak Ridges Moraine, a 160 km long ridge of hilly terrain created by retreating glaciers depositing large quantities of sand and gravel sediments. The moraine is a primary source for many river systems in this part of Southern Ontario. The nearby Palgrave Moraine intersects the Oak Ridges Moraine, and ultimately merges with it to the east, at the western boundary of King Township. The Humber River flows west of Palgrave. Several creeks and swampy ponds are found in the area and a former mill pond lies to the northwest. Mount Wolfe, one of the highest hills in the area, is located east of the town.

 * Population (2006): 830 persons in 274 households
 * Population (2011): 1002 persons
 * Population (2016): 1044 persons in 396 households
 * Name of inhabitants: Palgravian

History
Palgrave was originally called Buckstown after Brian Dolan, nicknamed Barney or Buck. He managed the Western Hotel after it was built in 1846. In 1869, postal authorities renamed the community Palgrave.

In 1877 Hamilton & North-Western Railway was constructed through the centre of Palgrave, from the southwest to the northeast. This railway was taken over by the Grand Trunk Railway in 1888, and later absorbed by Canadian National Railways. Much of the track throughout this region was damaged by flooding in 1954 as a result of Hurricane Hazel and had to be rebuilt. Palgrave was a flag station on the CNR. Although there was a station with a passenger waiting room, the Agent at this location was removed in 1931. The station was located on the west side of the track (west of Hwy 50). Scheduled passenger service ended in July 1960 and the station was removed shortly thereafter. The rails over this section were removed in 1986.

In 1906 the Canadian Pacific Railway was constructed from Bolton towards Muskoka. This line passes to the east of Palgrave and remains as part of the CP mainline between Toronto and Sudbury. The Canadian Pacific's Palgrave station was located near Mount Pleasant Rd. 2 kilometers northeast of the village.

Canadian artist David B. Milne (1882–1953) lived in Palgrave for a short time from 1929 to 1932 and painted a number of scenes there. His work Kitchen Chimney depicts a view of the town's Elm Tree Hotel and is part of the collection of the National Gallery of Canada.

Small housing developments were built around Palgrave in the 1950s, followed by estate home development and subdivisions beginning in the late 1960s.

Places of interest
Palgrave was bisected by a line of the Hamilton & North-Western Railway (mentioned above). The line was abandoned by CN in 1986 and has since been rehabilitated and incorporated into a multi-use regional recreational trail which is part of the Caledon Trailway, The Great Pine Ridge Trail and the Trans Canada Trail. The Bruce Trail, one of Ontario's major recreational hiking trails, passes the town roughly 1.5 km to the west.

Palgrave is home to the Caledon Equestrian Park, which played host to the equestrian portion of the 2015 Pan American Games. Many Equestrians who regularly horse show at the Caldeon Equestrian Park refer to the facility itself as Palgrave.

The Albion Hills Conservation Area is located 2 km south of the town and offers picnicking, camping, hiking trails, swimming, mountain biking and cross-country skiing.

The Palgrave Forest and Wildlife Area lies on the northwest periphery of the town and offers trails for hiking and cross-country skiing. EfstonScience, an astronomy and science retail store in Toronto, Ontario, holds evening observing sessions at this Conservation Area.

In 1963, Walt Disney Productions filmed the family movie "Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey" in Palgrave.

The Palgrave Public School has 462 students (2020) from Kindergarten to Grade 8.

Caledon Hills Brewery occupies what was the Church Public Inn founded by Terence Cutts 2010. This heritage site contains the 1865 St. Alban's (Anglican) church.

Palgrave is home of following clubs

 * Rotary Club of Palgrave
 * Palgrave Tennis Club

SpiceJet

SpiceJet is an Indian low-cost airline headquartered in Gurgaon, Haryana. , it is the sixth largest airline in India by number of domestic passengers carried, with a market share of 4% and connects 73 destinations, including 60 Indian and 13 international from its bases at Delhi and Hyderabad.

Established as air taxi provider ModiLuft in 1994, the company was acquired by Indian entrepreneur Ajay Singh in 2004 and renamed to SpiceJet. The airline operated its first flight in May 2005. Indian media baron Kalanidhi Maran acquired a controlling stake in SpiceJet in June 2010 through Sun Group which was sold back to Ajay Singh in January 2015. The airline operates a fleet of Boeing 737 and Bombardier Dash 8 aircraft.

1984–1996: ModiLuft era
The origins of SpiceJet can be tracked back to March 1984 when the company was established by Indian industrialist S. K. Modi to provide private air taxi services. On 17 February 1993, the company was named as MG Express and entered into technical partnership with the German flag carrier Lufthansa. The airline provided passenger and cargo services under the name of Modiluft before ceasing operations in 1996.

2005–2013: inception and expansion
In 2004, the company was acquired by Ajay Singh and the airline planned to restart operations as SpiceJet following the low-cost model. SpiceJet leased two Boeing 737-800 aircraft in 2005 and planned to order 10 new aircraft for expansion. SpiceJet opened bookings on 18 May 2005 and the first flight was operated between Delhi and Mumbai on 24 May 2005. By July 2008, it was India's third-largest low-cost carrier in terms of market share after Air Deccan and IndiGo.

The airline ordered 30 Boeing 737-8 aircraft worth US$2.7 billion July 2010 and a further 15 Bombardier Q4 Dash short-haul aircraft worth US$446 million in December 2010.

In 2012, SpiceJet suffered a loss of over inr 390000000 owing to increase in global crude prices. On 9 January 2012, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, reported that several airlines in India, including SpiceJet, have not maintained crucial data for the flight operations quality assurance. The Bombay Stock Exchange announced that ever since June 2011, SpiceJet had been suffering losses. In 2012, Kalanidhi Maran increased his stake in the airline by investing inr 1000000000 in the airline. The airline returned to profits at the end of the same year. SpiceJet entered into an inter airline pact with Tigerair on 16 December 2013 which was scrapped in January 2015.

2014–present: downturn and recovery
In January 2015, the Sun Group sold its entire shareholding and transferred control to Ajay Singh. In September 2017, the airline placed an order for 25 Q400 turboprop aircraft. In 2019, SpiceJet took over 30 aircraft that were grounded by Jet Airways.

The airline posted net losses of US$34.6 million during the fiscal quarter ended 31 March 2021, as revenue fell by 28% annually to $294.8 million. The airline planned to raise funds to the tune of $337.2 million to ensure its long term sustainability. In May 2022, Directorate General of Civil Aviation started a safety investigation into the company's aircraft following a series of incidents involving malfunctioning plane equipment. In July 2022, DGCA imposed restrictions on the number of flights to be capped at 50% of the existent flights with strict monitoring. , it is the sixth largest airline in India by number of domestic passengers carried, with a market share of 4%.

Business trends
The key trends for SpiceJet are (as of the financial year ending 31 March):

Headquarters
SpiceJet is headquartered in Gurgaon, India. Ajay Singh serves as the managing director of the airline since January 2015. The airline's logo consists of 15 dots arranged in three rows of five each in the order of their reducing sizes on a red background. In June 2015, the airline unveiled its current logo with a new tagline ''Red. Hot. Spicy.'' SpiceJet names all its aircraft with the name of an Indian spice.

Subsidiaries
Launched in September 2018, SpiceXpress is the air cargo division of the airline. The airline took delivery of its first 737-800 Boeing Converted Freighter (BCF) in September 2019, becoming the first South Asian carrier to induct the converted freighter into its fleet.

Spice Shuttle was a fully owned subsidiary of SpiceJet which operated sea planes and other shuttle airplane services. It terminated services in April 2021.

Destinations
As of June 2024, SpiceJet operated to 73 destinations, including 60 Indian and 13 international destinations. It operates hubs at Delhi and Hyderabad, which is the primary base for its fleet of Bombardier Q400 aircraft. After completing five years of flying, SpiceJet was allowed to commence international flights by Directorate General of Civil Aviation on 7 September 2010. SpiceJet launched flights from Delhi to Kathmandu and Chennai to Colombo and the first international flight took off on 7 October 2010 from Delhi.

Codeshare agreements
SpiceJet has codeshare agreements with the following airlines:
 * Emirates
 * Gulf Air

Current fleet
, SpiceJet operates the following aircraft:

Fleet development
SpiceJet placed its first firm order for 20 Next-Generation Boeing 737-800s in March 2005, with deliveries scheduled up to 2010. In November 2010, the airline ordered 30 Boeing 737-800s. On 9 December 2010, Bombardier Aerospace announced that SpiceJet had placed a firm order for fifteen Q400 NextGen turboprop airliners with options for another fifteen. SpiceJet used its fleet of Q400s for short-haul operations.

In March 2014, the airline signed a US$4.4 billion deal with Boeing for the procurement of 42 737 MAX 8 aircraft. In 2015, SpiceJet was in talks with both Boeing and Airbus for a possible order of more than 100 single aisle aircraft, either Airbus A320neo or the Boeing 737 MAX with the same being confirmed by managing director, Ajay Singh, in a conference in Dubai.

In January 2017, the airline placed a firm order for 100 737 MAX 8 aircraft, and revealed itself as the airline behind the 13 MAX 8 aircraft previously attributed to an unidentified customer, taking its total order to 155 MAX 8 aircraft with purchase rights for 50 additional MAX 8 and wide-body aircraft. The carrier planned to grow its operational fleet to 200 airplanes and expand regionally with the new 737 MAX family of airplanes. In June 2017, the airline signed a letter of intent with Bombardier to purchase up to 50 Q400 aircraft for catering to growth in passenger traffic arising from its participation in the Indian government's UDAN regional connectivity scheme.

In 2019, SpiceJet announced plans to induct 16 Boeing 737-800 NG to fulfill local and international demands due to the grounding of the Boeing 737 MAX fleet. In May 2020, when Jet Airways ceased operations, the airline placed orders for six additional Boeing 737-800 NG and five Bombardier Q400 to cover the shortage. In June 2023, SpiceJet announced plans to induct 10 Boeing 737 aircraft of which five would be 737 MAX aircraft to cater to the surge in passenger demand.

Services
SpiceJet has moved away from the typical low-cost carrier service model of economy class-only seating. The airline offers premium services under the name SpiceMax, whereby passengers can obtain additional benefits including pre-assigned seats with extra legroom; meals on board; priority check-in and boarding; and priority baggage handling; at a higher fare. Otherwise SpiceJet does not provide complimentary meals in any of its flights. It does sell full in-flight meals on some flights. SpiceJet operates its frequent-flyer programme but does not provide any in-flight entertainment options. SpiceJet has partnered with Tripfactory and EaseMyTrip for selling holiday packages on its platform.

George Sperling

George Sperling (born 1934) is an American cognitive psychologist, researcher, and educator. Sperling documented the existence of iconic memory (one of the sensory memory subtypes). Through several experiments, he showed support for his hypothesis that human beings store a perfect image of the visual world for a brief moment, before it is discarded from memory. He was in the forefront in wanting to help the deaf population in terms of speech recognition. He argued that the telephone was created originally for the hearing impaired but it became popularized by the hearing community. He suggested with a sevenfold reduction in the bandwidth for video transmission, it can be useful for the improvement in American Sign Language communication. Sperling used a method of partial report to measure the time course of visual persistence (sensory memory).

He is a Distinguished Professor of both Cognitive Science and Neurobiology & Behavior at the University of California, Irvine.

Education
In 1955, George Sperling graduated with a B.S. degree at the University of Michigan with hopes to become a scientist in one of the major scientific field such as biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physics. In 1956, he went on to receive an M.A. degree in psychology from Columbia University. His passion for physiological psychology began accidentally in university and caused him to pursue a career in cognitive psychology. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1959, and his thesis paper was focused on short-term memory.

Career
In summer 1958, Sperling went to work at Bell Laboratories where numerous experiments were conducted. Sperling was originally attracted to psychology because he wanted to apply quantitative methods and theories used by physicists to describe the brain's mental microprocesses.

In the early 1960s, George Sperling proposed a method of measuring visual persistence duration, an auditory synchronization method of measuring visual persistence duration. This approach had the synchrony of a click and the onset/termination of a light, this synchrony being judged by the subject. Later the method was innovated by with Erich Weichselgartner so that the entire rise and fall of the temporal brightness function was also measured, contrasting the initial method that only measured the moment and which visual persistence stopped.

Throughout Sperling's career, he has contributed very much to the fields of visual information processing and theory and empirical research. In 1960, Sperling performed an experiment using a matrix with three rows of three letters. Participants of the study were asked to look at the letters, for a brief period of time, and then recall them immediately afterwards. This technique, called free recall, showed that participants were able to, on average, recall 4–5 letters of the 9 they were given. This however, was already generally accepted in the psychological community, because it was understandable that people simply could not retain all the letters in their mind in such a brief period of time. Sperling, on the other hand, felt that they had encoded all of the letters in their mind, but had simply forgotten them while trying to recall this information on what they had seen. He believed that all nine letters were stored in the viewer's memory for a short period of time, but the memory failed leading to only 4 or 5 being recalled. Sperling called this iconic memory. This was exemplified through Sperling's Iconic Memory Test, which involves having a grid of letters being flashed for 1/20 of a second. If individuals were prompted to recall a particular row immediately after the grid was shown, opposed to being asked to recall the entire grid, participants experienced higher accuracy. This procedure demonstrated that although iconic memory can store the whole grid, information tends to fade away too rapidly for a person to recall all of the information. Sperling also showed this with his experiment of cued recall. This trial was similar to free recall; however, instead of allowing participants to recall any of the letters, it would allow them to view the same matrix for the same amount of time, and then hear a pitch corresponding to a different row in the matrix. The viewer was to recall the letters in that corresponding row. On average, viewers were able to recall more during cued recall trials than free recall.

Sperling built upon this experiment to then determine the amount of time before information was discarded from a person's memory. Using the same matrix, allowing viewers to see the matrix for the same amount of time, and still giving the pitches to cue the viewer which row to recall, Sperling added a twist: there would be a 5-millisecond delay after the letters disappeared before the cue would appear. The participants were unable to recall as many letters, thus showing that visual stimuli that are not added to short-term memory are discarded less than 5 milliseconds of initial introduction. (It was later agreed upon that most visual icons are eliminated from memory before 250 milliseconds.)

Sperling has lectured at Stanford University, University of Washington, University of Western Australia, University of London, University of California: Los Angeles, Columbia University, Duke University and New York University. He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1992.

Publications
Sperling's first publication, "Negative Afterimages Without Prior Positive Images," was in visual psychophysics. He then went on to publish mathematical models for adaptation and flicker, contrast detection, binocular vision, and motion perception.

Talk:Scarlet (color)

Compared to vermilion
If vermillion is redder then Scarlet, why do the images suggest it to be the other way around? --Markornikov 17:59, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)

 * The article says Scarlet is redder tahn vermilion - this is correct. Arcturus 18:57, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The assertion that scarlet is redder than vermilion is inconsistent with scarlet's HSV hue being 8 degrees and vermilion's being 5. S.emmerson (talk) 16:17, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Title
It appears that the same anti-American who moved American and British English differences to "American and English linguistic differences" moved this page a while ago, several 5-minute units before I moved it back. Georgia guy 20:29, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

Pop culture
It seems to me that items in the "popular culture" section not relating to the color should be moved to scarlet (disambiguation). Thoughts? PKM 21:25, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Yea, too much of that stuff is unrelated to the actual color.

bible
on what planet does someone think the english word scarlet appears in hebrew exodus, or that a color reference in an ancient text could be positively identified with an actual color? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Snaxalotl (talk • contribs) 12:36, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

It seems to me that the article was merely attempting to cite an early historical reference to the color scarlet. The Hebrew names 'shaniy' and 'tolaath,' which are translated 'scarlet' in English versions of the Bible, refer to the insect larvae that were used in antiquity to produce scarlet dye. Recommend that the author of the earlier comment read "The Scarlet Dye of the Holy Land," Zohar Amar, Hugo Gottlieb, Lucy Varshavsky and David Iluz, BioScience, Vol. 55, No. 12 (Dec., 2005), pp. 1080-1083, University of California Press on behalf of the American Institute of Biological Sciences.71.169.252.151 (talk) 20:37, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Color of Flame
Scarlet is never known to be the color of flame. That is just stupid. That color "flame" is not related to Scarlet. In factit looks Orange. It's not a shade of scarlet at all, maybe a shade of RED, but not scarlet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.104.202.112 (talk) 15:02, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Recheck Torch Red
According to cryola colors, the color Scarlet, that was originally "Torch Red" has the Hex Triplet #FC2847, which is different from the one at the article. I changed it according to the article. --Abdulrahman112 (talk) 22:41, 7 January 2013 (UTC) | Talk

Please improve or move section on variations of Scarlet
This section seems to be a catalog for crayola and other proprietary paint companies. It might be better as a separate article called "Variations of scarlet" or "shades of scarlet" as has been done for other colors. Thank you. SiefkinDR (talk) 06:39, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

Following format of other color articles
The format for this article should follow that of other color articles. The info box with image should be first, with nothing above it. The list of proprietary variations should be at the bottom, not top of the article; otherwise, it will gradually become very long, and will take over the article, which was unfortunately the common practice in the past. If the list gets any longer, it should be put into a separate article, as has been done for other colors. Cordially, SiefkinDR (talk) 08:45, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

Possible removal from list
An entry in List of colors: A–F contained a link to this page.

The entry is :

 * Dark scarlet

An entry in List of colors: N–Z contained a link to this page.

The entry is :

 * Tractor red

I don't see any evidence that this color is discussed in this article and plan to delete it from the list per this discussion: Talk:List_of_colors

If someone decides that this color should have a section in this article and it is added, I would appreciate a ping.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  16:15, 9 September 2018 (UTC)

Dictionary definition re orange tinge
There seems to be a variation in dictionary definitions of Scarlet. With some mentioning a tinge of orange (e.g. ), and some not (e.g. ). The lede does note that the spectrum, it lies between red and orange, so in theory, it could have some orange in it. However, I am open either way as long as we reflect what is a consensus. Britishfinance (talk) 08:36, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
 * I have amended the lede to show both and added the Collins Dictionary as an additional ref. Britishfinance (talk) 08:42, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

Second sentence in conflict with referenced article
The sentence states "[...] on the traditional color wheel, it is one-quarter of the way between red and orange [...]" but the referenced article shows scarlet to the other side of red, halfway towards magenta. --2A0A:A540:6636:0:3491:93FD:4A8:DA29 (talk) 10:52, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

Battle of Mytilene (1690)

The Battle of Mytilene was a naval battle that occurred on 8 September 1690 at Mytilene between a Venetian fleet under Daniele Dolfin and a combined Muslim fleet made up of Ottoman and Barbary ships. The battle resulted in a victory for the Venetian naval forces. This defeat inspired Suleiman II to end Ottoman reliance on Barbary pirates.

Prelude
Shortly after taking command of the port of Monemvasia Capitano Staordinario delle Navi Daniele Dolfin took the twelve largest sailing ships into the Aegean. After dropping off supplies in Tinos he sailed to Euboea in order to alarm the local Ottoman forces and prevent them from sending troops to the Isthmus of Corinth. After this he would set sail for Lesbos. On 7 September 1690 he arrived in Mytilene where he witnessed the Muslim fleet crossing between Lesbos and Foça, but couldn't attack due to unfavorable winds.

Battle
Taking advantage of the wind, the Redentor, the Sacra Lega and the San Domenico attacked the Ottoman and North African flagships on the morning of 8 September 1690. Around 11am both sides started exchanging cannon fire; however, a calm in the wind left the Venetian ships unsupported. For four hours the three ships were isolated from the rest of the fleet and faced heavy fire from the Muslim fleet. During this exchange the Tripolitanian flagship took heavy damage from the Redentor and was towed off the line by the galleys. After the calm in the wind ended the other Venetian sail ships were able to form a line and the two fleets exchanged fire until 5pm when Dolfin disengaged. After this the Muslim fleet returned to port in Mytilene.

During the battle, the Redentor received the brunt of the cannon fire with approximately 100 cannon shots between the hull and sails and the majority of the casualties. Among these casualties was Admiral Giovanni Buggie who was struck in the leg by a cannonball and would later die of gangrene on 12 September. Dolfin was also among those injured in the fighting, losing his left hand.

Ottoman casualties were significantly heavier than those of the Venetians. The Muslim fleet made up only 29 of the 32 ships suggesting that three of the Muslim ships were heavily damaged in the battle and had to remain in port. Of these three ships it is estimated that no more than 2 galleys were sunk.

Aftermath
On 9–10 September both fleets came into sight of each other but did not engage one another. On 11 September the Muslim fleet withdrew to Foça and the Venetian fleet sailed back towards Morea.

The experience of the Ottomans at Mytilene enraged Suleiman II who blamed the defeat on the cowardice of the Barbary corsairs. After the battle Suleiman began building sailing warships in an attempt to end the Ottoman Navy's reliance on the support of the Barbary pirates. This change in naval policy was continued by Suleiman's successor, Ahmed II and by 1694 the Ottoman navy had 20 ships of the line.

Delete (SQL)

In the database structured query language (SQL), the DELETE statement is used to remove one or more records from a table. A subset may be defined for deletion using a condition, otherwise all records are removed. Some database management systems (DBMSs), like MySQL, allow deletion of rows from multiple tables with one DELETE statement (this is sometimes called multi-table DELETE).

Examples
Delete rows from table pies where column flavor equals Lemon Meringue:

Delete rows in trees, if the value of height is smaller than 80.

Delete all rows from mytable:

Delete rows from mytable using a subquery in the where condition:

Delete rows from mytable using a list of values:

Example with related tables
Suppose there is a simple database that lists people and addresses. More than one person can live at a particular address and a person can live at more than one address (this is an example of a many-to-many relationship). The database only has three tables, person, address, and pa, with the following data:

The pa table relates the person and address tables, showing that Joe, Bob and Ann all live at 2001 Main Street, but Joe also takes up residence on Pico Boulevard.

In order to remove joe from the database, two deletes must be executed: To maintain referential integrity, Joe's records must be removed from both person and pa. It could be that beyond just having three tables, the database also has been set up with a trigger so that whenever a row is deleted from person any linked rows would be deleted from pa. Then the first statement: would automatically trigger the second:

Features

 * It is a DML (Data Manipulation Language) command, therefore the following commands are used for this command: COMMIT and ROLLBACK
 * Deletes all or some records from the table, you can limit the records to be deleted by using the WHERE clause
 * Does not free the space occupied by the data in the table (in the TABLESPACE)
 * Does not reset the SEQUENCE value assigned to the table
 * DELETE works much slower than TRUNCATE
 * You can undo the operation of removing records by using the ROLLBACK command
 * DELETE requires a shared table lock
 * Triggers fire
 * DELETE can be used in the case of: database link
 * DELETE returns the number of records deleted
 * Transaction log - DELETE needs to read records, check constraints, update block, update indexes, and generate redo / undo. All of this takes time, hence it takes time much longer than with TRUNCATE
 * reduces performance during execution - each record in the table is locked for deletion
 * DELETE uses more transaction space than the TRUNCATE statement
 * DELETE can be used with indexed views
 * DELETE generates a small amount of redo and a large amount of undo
 * DELETE operation does not make unusable indexes usable again

Related commands
Deleting all rows from a table can be very time-consuming. Some DBMS offer a TRUNCATE TABLE command that works a lot quicker, as it only alters metadata and typically does not spend time enforcing constraints or firing triggers.

DELETE only deletes the rows. For deleting a table entirely the DROP command can be used.

Heelas of Reading

Heelas (now branded as John Lewis & Partners) is a major department store in Reading in the English county of Berkshire. It was known as Heelas until 2001 and that name is still in common usage. The store fronts on to Reading's main pedestrianised shopping street, Broad Street, and backs onto Minster Street and The Oracle shopping centre. The store has belonged to the John Lewis Partnership since 1953.

History
Heelas started in Reading with just one small shop at 33 Minster Street. John Heelas, who already had a shop in Wokingham, set up the new business in 1854 with his sons, John and Daniel. They described themselves as 'Linen and Woollen Drapers, Silk Mercers etc..'. Over the years they acquired adjacent properties and by 1877 the business had become a department store.

In 1897 the family firm became a public company, Heelas Sons and Co. Ltd, and in 1890 the House of Heelas was appointed Linen Drapers and House Furnishers to the then Prince of Wales. This warrant was continued on his accession to the throne as King Edward VII.

The shop was rebuilt in 1907 and the directors were confident that the 'handsome well-arranged buildings would add to the great comfort of the customers'. Both John and Daniel Heelas died in 1910; their successors, John Heelas Junior and Edward Heelas, inherited a thriving business. Heelas became a major entity in Reading, and in 1937, the John Lewis Partnership entered into takeover discussions with the department store. These did not work out, but in 1947 Heelas was sold to Charles Clore. He disposed of it three years later to United Drapery Stores who, in turn, sold it to the John Lewis Partnership in 1953. Throughout these changes, the store continued to trade as Heelas.

At the time of John Lewis' takeover, the store was the largest shop in Berkshire. With the business continuing to grow, however, the shop eventually became seen as too small and in need of expansion. Ambitious redevelopment plans were announced in 1975 and a large-scale model of the re-envisaged Heelas was put on display in the shop. The building work started in December 1979 and was split into three phases, allowing the shop to continue trading throughout the period. While the front (Broad Street) of the store dating from 1907 was little changed, the earlier rear (Minster Street) was demolished and replaced with a new five-storey building with an atrium. The work was completed by November 1985.

In 1999 a major new shopping and leisure centre, The Oracle, opened behind the store. Among its many shops at the time were department stores Debenhams and House of Fraser, thus increasing the level of competition in Reading. On Sunday 2 September 2001, as part of a wider company rebranding, the store's name was changed from Heelas to John Lewis. It was also the first time the shop had opened on a Sunday. Managing director Felicity Miller retired on 1 September. All the in-store and external signage was changed, but the name Heelas can still be seen where it was built into the external brickwork of the 1979 building. The renaming caused some local controversy, as some people felt the town was losing a part of its history. John Lewis continues to thrive in Reading where many stores have left or gone into receivership.

Over the last few years and since Covid struck, John Lewis Reading has encouraged external companies to buy space in its store. Ori Café and David Clulow opticians were located where the Haberdashery dept was previously located, on the mezzanine floor. From the 9th October 2023 John Lewis Reading will become the first store to have The Floor Room taking over the existing Carpet department.

On 9 February 2007, the store was awarded a Royal Warrant by Her Majesty The Queen. This allows John Lewis Reading to display The Queen's coat of arms, together with the words "By Appointment to Her Majesty The Queen, Suppliers of Household and Fancy Goods", on the store's building, vehicles and stationery.
