Magnepan

Magnepan is a private high-end audio loudspeaker manufacturer in White Bear Lake, Minnesota, United States. Their loudspeaker technology was conceived and implemented by engineer Jim Winey in 1969.

Overview
Magnepan's speaker design, sold under the brand name Magneplanar (often referred to as "Maggies"), differs from that of conventional speakers in relying not on cones mounted in an enclosure, but on a planar driver system mounted in a panel. A Magneplanar's reproducing mechanism (magnetostatic loudspeaker) comprises thin conductive wires and or foil strips attached to a thin sheet of Mylar residing in a magnetic field created by a vertical array of permanent strip magnets. When an electric signal is applied to the conductors, the resultant electric current moving through the magnetic field applies a force to the wires or tape, moving the Mylar film sheet, which projects sound as a dipole. In principle, this approach relies on the same concept as a voice coil-driven cone speaker, but in a Magneplanar speaker the "voice coils" are attached (glued) directly to the radiating surface. Since the force is applied only to the voice coil in a cone speaker, there are distortion modes called cone breakup; in the magneplanar speakers the force is applied much more evenly over the radiating surface, resulting in fewer distortion modes. Sound is projected from both the front and back of the radiating surface. The sound from the back of the speaker is reflected from the front wall of the listening area. This is said to effectively enhance the soundstage – the sense of space and realism –  of the speaker. The Magneplanar design, using a passive magnet array, is not a unique loudspeaker implementation, although it was the first of its type. Eminent Technology, Analysis Audio, Apogee and others also employ passive magnet designs. Broadly, these are classed as planar-magnetic speakers.

There are other speaker designs similar to the Magneplanar. MartinLogan and Quad Electroacoustics, among others, make electrostatic loudspeakers, which are another variation on the dipole model. Electrostatic speakers operate on a somewhat different principle. While the voice coils in the Magneplanar are conductive wires or foil strips mounted on a sheet of Mylar film, electrostatic speakers suspend a charged conductive film between two grids (stators), which move the film. One disadvantage of both designs is that a very large panel is required to produce deep bass. Magnepan has addressed this by the physical size of the speakers – a physically large radiating surface produces more bass. MartinLogan has addressed the bass problem by mounting a conventional cone bass driver in a separate section of the speaker chassis, generally resulting in a physically smaller speaker than the Magneplanar.

Magnepans have a life expectancy of about 20-30 years. Eventually the wires or aluminum strips start to delaminate from the mylar. Delamination will result in buzzing when playing low frequencies, and then get worse. This life expectancy shortens drastically when exposed to heat from a fireplace or heat duct, or UV radiation from being in direct sunlight. Magnepans can be shipped to the factory for repair. Repair can also be done at home.

Technology
Magnepan has used several different technologies in constructing their magnetostatic speakers. All Magnepan speakers are based on flexible ferrite magnet strips (like refrigerator magnets), 0.060" (1.5 mm) thick, typically cut to either 1/4" (6 mm) wide (mid-bass) or 1/8" (3 mm) wide (tweeters) and more or less the length of the speaker. The magnets are glued to a piece of custom perforated 20-gauge (1 mm) steel sheet. The steel supports the magnets and also completes the magnetic circuit on the back of the magnets, resulting in about a 25% stronger magnetic field in front of the magnets. Mylar film, 0.0005" (12.5 μm) thick, is suspended in front of the magnet structure about 1/16" (1.6 mm) away from the magnets. Aluminum wires or film are then glued to the mylar. Only aluminum was used: copper has two-thirds the resistance of aluminum, which would make the speakers either much larger or much more difficult to drive. Very few amplifiers can handle 2.7-ohm speakers. Older Magnepans used aluminum magnet wire, thin 31 gauge (0.0089", 0.23 mm) for the tweeters and thicker 22 gauge (0.0253", 0.64 mm) for the mid-bass. The wire is glued to the mylar with 3M 77 spray adhesive, then sealed with 3M Fastbond 30NF (Magnepan used to use Milloxane to seal, but no more).

Newer Magnepans use 30 μm (0.0012") thick 1/8" (3 mm) wide aluminum tape instead of wire. When the aluminum tape is used instead of wires, Magnepan calls the speakers "Quasi-Ribbons". Using the aluminum tape spreads out the driving force on the mylar speaker diaphragm, resulting in noticeably lower distortion.

Magnepan ribbons are constructed with a strip of aluminum roughly 5 μm (0.0002") thick, 1/4" (6 mm) wide, 60" (1.5 m) long. The aluminum is corrugated – the pleats help keep the ribbon from flexing between the magnets. Before corrugating the ribbon it's more like 80" (2 m) long. The aluminum is suspended between two ferrite magnets, about 3/8 x in cross-section. The magnets are attached to a 1/8" (3 mm) thick piece of formed and perforated steel, which both holds the magnets in place and also completes the magnetic circuit, resulting in about a 40% stronger magnetic field in the magnet gap. The 20.7 and 30.7 speakers are push-pull designs. They have magnets front and back, thus making for a more linear magnetic field. All other models have magnets only at the back of the diaphram.

The most frequently cited disadvantages of Magnepan's overall design are relatively low efficiency and, given the absence of an enclosure, difficulty in reproducing very low bass frequencies. Because of the low resistance (4 ohms) and low sensitivity (86 dB), it requires a surprising amount of current to drive the Magnepans to moderately loud listening levels. Many inexpensive receivers simply do not have the required current capacity, so they go into various distortion modes, including crossover distortion, current / SOA clipping and slew limiting, with the result that the Magnepans may not sound very good. If the amplifier starts clipping, it could destroy the ribbon or treble wiring. Driving the Magnepans with a 100-watt or better high-current amplifier will result in much better sound. Generally, the amplifier should put out double the power into 4 ohms that it does into 8 ohms; if the specification is for less than double, then the power supply and/or output stage of the amplifier will most likely not be sufficient to obtain best sound from the Magnepans. Many suitable modern and vintage amplifiers can do this, but it depends on their design.

Models
Originally Magnepan sold the MG and the Tympani series. The Tympani series has been discontinued for several decades and is replaced by the 20.7 and 30.7 speakers. The MG series has been produced continuously, but the "MG" has been dropped from the name; thus the MG-I is now the 1.7; the MG-II is now the (discontinued) 2.7, and the MG-III is now the 3.7. Magnepan also produced a small, relatively inexpensive speaker, the SMG, which became the MMG and is now called the LRS. The Tympanis and MG speakers were all made from wire-on-mylar; the speakers with no "MG" in the name are all made from aluminum foil on mylar ("Quasi-Ribbon"). The 2.6, 2.7i, MG-III, 3.7, Tympani IV, 20.7 and 30.7 all include Magnepan's ribbon driver and thus produce sound up to 40 kHz. The other speakers do not include a true ribbon and therefore produce sound only up to about 18–25 kHz.

All Magnepans are 4-ohm speakers, with sensitivity of 86 dB at 500 Hz, 2.83 V.

Hacienda San José (hotel)

The Hacienda San José is located in the District of El Carmen, in the Province of Chincha, in the Region of Ica, Perú. During a period, this manor house had one of the richest plantations in Chincha, with around 1000 slaves working on its fields.

The hacienda suffered great damage after the 2007 Peru earthquake that hit the central Peruvian coast on August 15, 2007. The hotel chain Casa Andina purchased the property and conducted extensive renovations (which began in 2009). The hotel reopened for guests in 2012.

History
The first news about San José Manor House dates back to 1688 when Rosa Josepha de Muñatones y Aguado married Don Andrés Salazar. As a dowry, she brought into the marriage the Manor House, its church and farmland on the Chincha Valley. It was transformed into a sugar plantation that held 87 black slaves. Sugarcane yielded two of the sweetest and most valued products in those times: sugar and honey.

In 1764, a new marriage strengthened the San José Manor House property: the daughter of Don Agustín de Salazar y Muñatones, Rosa Salazar Gaviño, married Don Fernando Carrillo de Albornoz y Bravo Lagunas. They bought San Regis Manor House, which had belonged to the Jesuits. The union of these properties was one of the richest in all of Chincha. Over 1,000 slaves worked the lands producing sugarcane and cotton. El Carmen village dates back to those times (1811), where many slaves used to hide, escaping from the extensive abuse they had on the plantations.

Problems during the independence movement
In 1821, Fernando Carrillo de Albornoz y Salazar, son of Fernando and Rosa's, was the owner of the San José and San Regis manor houses. The Chincha Valley was shocked to see General Don José de San Martin and his troops disembarking at Pisco. Some slaves managed to escape the plantations to join the Libertador's troops, and Fernando Carillo de Albornoz y Salazar fled to Spain with two of his children, abandoning his wife, Petronila Zavala, and his youngest son, José. The Government took possession of the manor house and lands right after the defection; however, Petronila Zavala regained possession of her house in 1827.

Eventually, San José Manor House recovered from the hardships of the Independence movement. Slavery was abolished in Peru in 1854; however, a great number of slaves were still working on the plantations. Fernando Carrillo de Albornoz y Zavala, Fernando and Petronila's eldest son, inherited the property and imported a vapor tractor from Europe.

The last heir of Fernando Carrillo de Albornoz y Zavala and Catalina Mendoza, Julio Carrillo de Albornoz y Mendoza (aged 25), was assassinated by slaves on the main staircase of the manor house during the Pacific War. Right after his death in 1879, the house was sold by his widow, Catalina del Valle y Osma, to Roberto B. Leguía, the President's brother. In 1913, the house was sold by the latter to Manuela Eguren, Cilloniz's widow.

Present days
Manuela Eguren, Cilloniz's widow, and her 12 children lived years of prosperity at the manor house. A cotton gin was built and the cotton was exported to England directly from Tambo the Mora harbor in Chincha. Cattle was also acquired to sell the meat.

In 1960, after the Agrarian Law was passed, during the first mandate of President Fernando Belaunde, the lands were split among Manuela Eguren's children. The lands were acquired by Don Julio Cilloniz Eguren, one of ManueIa's sons, who in turn passed them on to his 4 children: Julio, Augusto. German and Amelia Cilloniz Garfias, each one inheriting 150 ha. In 1968, Augusto died and his widow, Doña Angela Benavides de Cilloniz, bought the Manor House from his brothers-in-law. She remains the owner. In 1970, the manor house was declared a World Heritage site.

Chartered Trading Standards Institute

The Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI) is a professional association which represents and trains trading standards professionals working in local authorities, business and consumer sectors and in central government in the UK and overseas.

History
The CTSI was formed from a merger of the Institute of Trading Standards Administration, created in 1956, and the Incorporated Society of Inspectors of Weights and Measures, established in 1881. It was granted its Royal charter by the Privy Council of the United Kingdom on 1 April 2015.

Hampton Report
The Hampton Report, commissioned in 2004 and published in 2005, led to the creation of the Local Better Regulation Office (LBRO). Previously the Consumer and Trading Standards Agency (CTSA), and then the Better Regulation Delivery Office (BRDO), it set standards on how trading standards and other business regulators carry out their work to minimise the impact on legitimate business. The Hampton Report also gave an enhanced role for the Office of Fair Trading (OFT). The OFT set national priorities and coordinated performance management of local authority trading standards services.

Function
CTSI engages with, and makes representations to, government, UK and EU Parliamentary institutions, and key stakeholders in the local government, community, business and consumer sectors, and other regulatory agencies. It aims to sustain and improve consumer protection, health and wellbeing, together with the reinforcement of fair markets, facilitating business competitiveness and success.

The Institute also hosts the UK European Consumer Centre (UK ECC), which provides consumer advice with regards to cross-border disputes within the EU, and the UK European Consumer Centre for Services (UK ECCS), which provides general information on consumer laws and rights when buying a service in another EU member state, as well as contact details for organisations that could provide practical assistance in the case of a dispute.

CTSI aims to bolster consumer protection and improve customer service standards by:
 * the approval and promotion of codes of practice
 * setting out the principles of effective customer service
 * recognising trusted traders - via the CTSI approved code logo

In April 2012, the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) invited the TSI to establish a successor to the Office of Fair Trading on a self-funding basis from April 2013. The management of the Consumer Codes Approval Scheme (CCAS) has now transferred to the Consumer Codes Approval Board (CCAB) operated by CTSI.

ADR approval
1 October 2015 the Alternative Dispute Resolution Directive came into force, and the CTSI was appointed to carry out the approval functions on behalf of the Secretary of State.

Goals
CTSI's strategic objectives for 2017-2020 are to:

 * Deliver competency pathways that support professional aims
 * Deliver income that enables us to invest in our charter aims
 * Lead debates that shape and promote our profession
 * Support members so that they are proud to be part of the Institute

Events
Since 1988, the CTSI has held an annual National Consumer Week. Its 2018 theme was consumer rights and online market places, held 26 to 30 November. This underpinned by research conducted by the Citizens Advice Partnership Knowledge Hub. The 2019 event has been postponed until the beginning of 2020 due to Brexit uncertainty.

In June/July it holds an annual Conference that delivers a full education and training programme of the course of the event.

CTSI holds the Heroes Awards annually in the summer, this provides an opportunity to recognise and celebrate those who have contributed to the profession and the protection of consumers.

Publications
The CTSI publishes a bi-annual magazine and website under the title Journal of Trading Standards, produced on contract by Fourth Estate Creative.

Structure
CTSI's headquarters is in the Southfields area of Laindon, south of Ford's Dunton Technical Centre, off the B148.

Members
CTSI members typically work in one of approximately 200 UK local authority trading standards offices, except in Northern Ireland where trading standards is provided by central government. Trading standards professionals work with consumers and businesses to maintain fair trading and safety of consumer goods. The CTSI also has members working in the private sector (they have their own section within the CTSI: the Business Members Group).

Staff
John Herriman took over as chief executive from interim chief executive Paul Ramsden in April 2021. The current CTSI chair is Tenday Lindsay, elected at the September 2021 AGM, who took over the role from Louise Baxter.

Citizens Advice Consumerline (previously Consumer Direct)
Trading Standards services work in partnership with the Citizens Advice Bureau consumer service to provide free, confidential and impartial advice on consumer issues. If consumers have concerns they are advised to report their concerns to the Citizens Advice consumer service (see external links) so that crucial intelligence can reach trading standards.

The Chartered Trading Standards Institute is a private company which supplies membership services and training for trading standards professionals; it does not handle consumer complaints.

Hello. Thanks for uploading Image:CorgiDB5.JPG. However, you need to add source and copyright information to its image description page, or it may be deleted. Saying who created the image and adding an image copyright tag usually suffices. Bear in mind that, to be used in Wikipedia, an image must be in the public domain, be available under a free licence such as the GFDL, or must qualify for fair use. See Fair use and Copyright FAQ for more information, or leave a message on my talk page if you need any help. Thanks. SamH|Talk 12:35, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Kitkat picture
Hi, Electricmoose. I noticed you uploaded [[Media:Electricmoose's cat Kitkat (2005).jpg|Electricmoose's cat Kitkat (2005).jpg]] with a fair use tag. Unfortunately, fair use images are legally problematic for Wikipedia, so they tend to be discouraged when a copyleft alternative is possible. Would you mind licensing your picture under a license such as the GFDL? You would retain copyright to the image, but would grant others the right to modify and redistribute your picture under the same terms. Thanks! Twinxor 20:57, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Regarding your response, the fair use tag is really for images you don't have copyright to. The argument is something like "I don't have permission to use this image, but it's OK to, because it doesn't hurt the owner at all." Since this doesn't apply when you made the image, it's a good idea to license pictures which you took under GFDL, Creative Commons, or the like. --Twinxor 22:03, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hi Electricmoose,

I've listed Image:Staghill.jpg as a copyright violation at Copyright_problems, for its use of the clouds from Image:Sunset.jpg without attribution. I dare say there are problems with the other elements of the picture, but I haven't tried to trace these.

In a similar vein, I've closed the FPC nomination early - largely for the copyvio problem but also because of concerns over the pattern of voting on this nomination. I appreciate that this image was probably intended as a hoax, so I'm sorry to pour cold water on it, but I guess it has had its day in the sun. -- Solipsist 06:40, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Trading Standards

Trading Standards are the local authority departments with the United Kingdom, formerly known as Weights and Measures, that enforce consumer protection legislation. Sometimes, the Trading Standards enforcement functions of a local authority are performed by part of a larger department which enforces a wide range of other legislation: environmental health, health and safety, licensing and so on. These departments investigate commercial organisations that trade outside the law or in unethical ways. They attempt to remedy breaches by advice or by formal enforcement action.

Trading Standards services also offer Primary Authority Partnerships whereby a business can form a legal partnership with a regulator in order to obtain assured advice and support with compliance.

History
They were originally labelled as Weights and Measures Departments because their primary function was to maintain the integrity of commercial weighing and measuring by routine testing of equipment and goods. A wide range of other legislation was allocated to them as time went on.

Function
They now deal with more diverse issues under a wide variety of Acts, Orders and Codes of Practice, as set out by central government, working with a number of other regulatory bodies such as the Food Standards Agency and the Office for Product Safety and Standards. Such legislation includes the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008, the Consumer Protection Act 1987, the Food Safety Act 1990, the Price Marking Order 2004 and the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Trading Standards also work with APHA and DEFRA to ensure disease controls are in place protecting residents and agriculture in the UK.

Recent priorities include prevention of sales of counterfeit goods, sales of tobacco and alcohol to under-age buyers, and action to prevent exploitation of vulnerable consumers by scams and doorstep crime. In 2017, the Trading Standards of Somerset, Devon and Torbay donated 5,000 items of counterfeit clothes to the charity Planet Zero after the clothes were seized and rebranded.

Trading Standards can work together with other regulators and national supporting regulators to provide businesses with access to tailored advice and support. In 2018 Buckinghamshire and Surrey Trading Standards formed their 100th Primary Authority Partnership under this government scheme.

Mathematically speaking
The wording "in which one third of the United States is bitterly in strife against the pandemically infected other half" troubles me from a mathematical perspective. Although my schooling lies many years in the past, I don't remember one third equalling one half. I'm the first to admit that I could be wrong. The only reason I'm not bolder about changing it myself is because the novel divided the U.S. at the Mississippi River. Some [citation required] define that as America's midpoint, which implies one half in strife against the other half, but from a population standpoint, one could argue that it is one third in strife against the other two thirds. From an area standpoint, it would be two thirds in strife against the other third. This is just too complicated for me. Cwelgo (talk) 22:55, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Inoke Takiveikata (Vice-President)

Ratu Inoke Takiveikata served two non-consecutive terms in the 1990s as one of two vice-presidents of Fiji.

His first term of office, which he shared with Ratu Sir Josaia Tavaiqia, was from 1990 to 2 June 1992, when he stepped down in favour of Ratu Sir Kamisese Mara. His second term, during which he shared the office initially with Tavaiqia, and later with Ratu Josefa Iloilo, ran from 12 January 1994 to 18 January 1999, when Iloilo assumed the office on his own.

Takiveikata was a chief from Lasakau on the island of Bau. He is not to be confused with another Ratu Inoke Takiveikata, also a politician, who in 2004 was convicted of offenses connected with an army mutiny that followed the 2000 coup.

Lanczos approximation

In mathematics, the Lanczos approximation is a method for computing the gamma function numerically, published by Cornelius Lanczos in 1964. It is a practical alternative to the more popular Stirling's approximation for calculating the gamma function with fixed precision.

Introduction
The Lanczos approximation consists of the formula

 * $$\Gamma(z+1) = \sqrt{2\pi} {\left( z + g + \tfrac12 \right)}^{z + 1/2 } e^{-(z+g+1/2)} A_g(z)$$

for the gamma function, with

 * $$A_g(z) = \frac12p_0(g) + p_1(g) \frac{z}{z+1} + p_2(g) \frac{z(z-1)}{(z+1)(z+2)} + \cdots.$$

Here g is a real constant that may be chosen arbitrarily subject to the restriction that Re(z+g+$1⁄2$) > 0. The coefficients p, which depend on g, are slightly more difficult to calculate (see below). Although the formula as stated here is only valid for arguments in the right complex half-plane, it can be extended to the entire complex plane by the reflection formula,

 * $$\Gamma(1-z) \; \Gamma(z) = {\pi \over \sin \pi z}.$$

The series A is convergent, and may be truncated to obtain an approximation with the desired precision. By choosing an appropriate g (typically a small integer), only some 5–10 terms of the series are needed to compute the gamma function with typical single or double floating-point precision. If a fixed g is chosen, the coefficients can be calculated in advance and, thanks to partial fraction decomposition, the sum is recast into the following form:

 * $$A_g(z) = c_0 + \sum_{k=1}^{N} \frac{c_k}{z+k}$$

Thus computing the gamma function becomes a matter of evaluating only a small number of elementary functions and multiplying by stored constants. The Lanczos approximation was popularized by Numerical Recipes, according to which computing the gamma function becomes "not much more difficult than other built-in functions that we take for granted, such as sin x or ex." The method is also implemented in the GNU Scientific Library, Boost, CPython and musl.

Coefficients
The coefficients are given by
 * $$p_k(g) = \frac{\sqrt{2\,}}{\pi} \sum_{\ell=0}^k C_{2k+1,\,2\ell+1} \left(\ell - \tfrac{1}{2} \right)! {\left(\ell + g + \tfrac{1}{2} \right)}^{-(\ell+1/2)} e^{\ell + g + 1/2 }$$

where $$C_{n,m}$$ represents the (n, m)th element of the matrix of coefficients for the Chebyshev polynomials, which can be calculated recursively from these identities:

 * $$\begin{align}

C_{1,\,1} &= 1 \\[5px] C_{2,\,2} &= 1 \\[5px] C_{n+1,\,1} &= -\,C_{n-1,\,1} & \text{ for  } n &= 2, 3, 4\, \dots \\[5px] C_{n+1,\,n+1} &= 2\,C_{n,\,n}   & \text{ for  } n &= 2, 3, 4\, \dots \\[5px] C_{n+1,\,m+1} &= 2\,C_{n,\,m} - C_{n-1,\,m+1} & \text{ for } n & > m = 1, 2, 3\, \dots \end{align}$$

Godfrey (2001) describes how to obtain the coefficients and also the value of the truncated series A as a matrix product.

Derivation
Lanczos derived the formula from Leonhard Euler's integral
 * $$\Gamma(z+1) = \int_0^\infty t^{z}\,e^{-t}\,dt,$$

performing a sequence of basic manipulations to obtain

 * $$\Gamma(z+1) = (z+g+1)^{z+1} e^{-(z+g+1)} \int_0^e \Big(v(1-\log v)\Big)^{z} v^g\,dv,$$

and deriving a series for the integral.

Simple implementation
The following implementation in the Python programming language works for complex arguments and typically gives 13 correct decimal places. Note that omitting the smallest coefficients (in pursuit of speed, for example) gives totally inaccurate results; the coefficients must be recomputed from scratch for an expansion with fewer terms.

Teodoro Benigno

Teodoro "Teddy" Benigno, Jr. (May 18, 1923 – June 3, 2005) was a leading Filipino journalist with a career spanning seven decades. His writings first graced the print media in 1946, when he joined the Manila Tribune as a sportswriter and police beat reporter. However, the greater part of his career was spent with the Agence France Presse, which he joined as a senior editor in 1950. He would spend 37 years with the AFP, serving as Manila bureau chief from 1962 until 1987. Benigno maintained extensive ties with France. Fluent in French, he studied at the Institut des Sciences Politiques and was awarded the French Legion of Honor in 1989.

Career
After President Ferdinand Marcos declared martial law in 1972, Benigno and other foreign journalists established the Foreign Correspondents Association of the Philippines, which proved a welcome balancing force to the Marcos-controlled media during martial rule. Benigno himself, unlike many other prominent anti-Marcos journalists such as Max Soliven and Don Chino Roces avoided imprisonment during Marcos's rule, shielded perhaps in part by his affiliation with a prominent international news organization as the AFP was.

In 1987, Benigno accepted President Corazon Aquino's offer to serve as her press secretary. He held the position until 1989, when he resigned to return to journalism. In June 1989, he began his famous column "Here's the Score", published by the Philippine Star. Benigno would also venture into broadcast journalism by hosting two public-affairs talk shows. The first, "Options" on the ABS-CBN channel, was short-lived. However, his succeeding show, "Firing Line" on the GMA channel, would prove durable and eventually attain international recognition. "Firing Line" deviated from the then popular round-table format adopted by most Philippine talk shows. It employed instead a format involving Benigno and his co-host grilling for an hour a solitary guest, normally a leading Filipino political figure of the day like Miriam Defensor-Santiago in 1992, but sometimes the occasional foreign dignitary such as Margaret Thatcher, Henry Kissinger, Willy Brandt, and Zbigniew Brzezinski. Benigno's co-hosts were also, as he was, former Aquino government officials - first, Executive Secretary Oscar Orbos, then eventually, economic planning secretary Solita Monsod. After the cancellation of "Firing Line", Benigno continued to write his column with the Philippine Star, which was regularly published for nearly sixteen years up until weeks before his death.

Benigno employed a highly literary style, replete with flowery descriptions and emphatic denunciations. His emotive style contrasted sharply with the dry stylings of Amado Doronilla, another contemporary of equal stature who writes for the Star's fiercest rival, the Philippine Daily Inquirer. Benigno's writing style became especially pointed in the last few years of his life, as he emerged as a bitter critic of Presidents Joseph Estrada and Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. He was frequently heard to lament the failings of the restored democratic rule, and became active in controversial reformist movements.

Personal life
He was married to Dominga "Meng" Comsti-Benigno (May 12, 1925 – December 13, 2010), with whom he had a daughter, Aurora Magdalena "Nena" C. Benigno. At a later time, he had a son named Marc Theodore by Luz Palacios.

Death
Benigno died on June 3, 2005, less than a month after being diagnosed with liver cancer. Former President Corazon Aquino, with whom he retained a close personal friendship, was one of his last bedside visitors.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Motley. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Motley~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 01:38, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information.

John Harbin

John Harbin (born 12 April 1947) is an Australian sports coach. He first worked in rugby league before beginning a coaching career in association football. His son, Lionel Harbin, briefly played rugby league in the Super League for the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats.

Early life
Born in 1947 at Hazlewood Castle in the English county of Yorkshire, Harbin grew up in Swillington Common before emigrating with his parents to Australia at the age of ten, settling in Queensland. As a child, he played rugby league and was a boxer. After leaving school he completed a teaching degree.

Rugby league
Harbin returned to England to coach in rugby league in the late 1990s. He was appointed head coach of Wakefield Trinity Wildcats in November 2000. The club had financial problems and were expected to struggle. Wakefield Trinity Wildcats' final game of the 2001 season was a relegation battle with Salford City Reds, and Wakefield Trinity Wildcats won, condemning Huddersfield Giants to the drop. However, he left the club at the end of 2001.

After a brief spell as chief executive officer at Dewsbury Rams, Harbin joined Oldham as head coach in January 2002.

Association football
Late in 2002 Harbin joined Oldham Athletic as fitness conditioner and sports psychologist alongside then-assistant manager Iain Dowie. Dowie was later promoted to manager and moved to Crystal Palace, with Harbin following.

Dowie moved to Charlton Athletic in 2006 and again appointed Harbin to his coaching staff. After Dowie's sacking in November 2006, Harbin stayed briefly under new manager Les Reed, but departed by the end of 2006. In February 2007, he linked up with Dowie for the fourth time at Coventry City. Striker Leon Best said that after Harbin's fitness sessions he felt he was "definitely the fittest I have ever been". A year later he was placed in a joint-caretaker's role alongside first-team coach Frankie Bunn after the sacking of Dowie. Harbin again followed Iain Dowie to Queens Park Rangers and remained following Dowie's departure in October 2008. Harbin stayed at Loftus Road under new manager Paulo Sousa until Sousa left the club in the summer of 2009. Harbin followed Sousa to Swansea City in July 2009.

Australian rugby league
After seven years in English Football and only three months at Swansea, Harbin decided to return to Australia to take up a senior coaching role at Yeppoon Rugby League club in the Queensland Rugby League Central Division. He was appointed as head coach of the Central Queensland Capras in September 2011. Harbin later became the manager of the Dreamtime Lodge motel in Rockhampton.

Return to English football
In June 2013, Harbin was appointed as performance manager at English League Two club Plymouth Argyle by manager John Sheridan. He left his position in June 2015 after new manager Derek Adams decided to appoint his own staff. He was appointed as performance coach at League One club Port Vale by manager Rob Page later in the month. He followed Page to league rivals Northampton Town in May 2016. In June 2017, he returned to Oldham Athletic as a fitness and sports psychology coach.

Oulton Raiders
On 2 January 2019, Harbin was appointed as head coach of National Conference League side Oulton Raiders.

Image Tagging Image:14309785833599l.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:14309785833599l.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. cohesion ★ talk 01:11, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Yeng Constantino
I've added the "prod" template to the article Yeng Constantino, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Yeng Constantino. If you remove the dated prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. 上村七美 | talk 12:32, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Pic13.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Pic13.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then you need to specify who owns the copyright, please. If you got it from a website, then a link to the website where it was taken from with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 10:37, 14 January 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Flyingtoaster1337 10:37, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading Image:Th darlene.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

Speedy deletion of National Movement of Young Legislators
A tag has been placed on National Movement of Young Legislators requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a club, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guidelines for people and for organizations.

Talk:Simone Veil

Liberalism stub ?
In France, Simone Veil is known to be a centrist. Besides, she only participated in center-to-center-right governments, never to socialist ones... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.234.110.221 (talk) 12:14, 3 June 2005 (UTC)
 * In the United States, the current common meaning of "liberal" is "left-wing". However, this is not the case in Europe. In France, libéral tends to mean "right-winger in favour of free markets; however, it can allude to a wider tradition of government leaving freedoms to the people. Simone Weil probably fits that latter definition, if only for her fight for keeping government intervention out of the personal choices of women and couples.

Elie Aron Cohen

Elie Aron Cohen (16 July 1909 in Groningen – 22 October 1993 in Arnhem) was a Dutch medical doctor who, being Jewish, was sent to the Auschwitz concentration camp. He arrived there on 16 September 1943. His first wife, his first son as well as his parents-in-law were killed upon arrival, but he managed to survive through a combination of chance and skill. His status and abilities as a doctor were instrumental for his survival. On 6 May 1945 he was liberated by the U.S. military in Melk (Austria), where he had been transported by way of Mauthausen-Gusen. After World War II, Elie Cohen remarried a Jewish woman. They have two children, a daughter and a son. Elie Cohen is the author of a number of books about the Holocaust. The first of these was the Ph.D. thesis on which he graduated on 11 March 1952, at Utrecht State University (supervisor: H.C. Rümke, professor of psychiatry). The book (in Dutch) was entitled "The German Concentration Camp — a medical and psychological study", and it was one of the first scientific descriptions of what had happened in killing centres such as Auschwitz. It also provided an analysis of the psychology of the SS-men who manned these camps and of their victims: the prisoners. At that time there was little interest in the Netherlands in recounting these events, but surprisingly the thesis was much in demand. It was later translated into English, Swedish and Japanese.

Elie Cohen went on to write a number of books and publications about extermination camps such as Auschwitz and Sobibor and their survivors. He was instrumental in obtaining official recognition in the Netherlands of the "post-concentration camp syndrome" from which many survivors came to suffer in their later years.
