Cahill Stadium

The Cahill Stadium was an arena in Summerside, Prince Edward Island, designed for ice hockey events and was home to the Summerside Western Capitals hockey team, who won a Royal Bank Cup in the building in 1997. In March 2007 the building was closed to make way for the new Consolidated Credit Union Place, a multimillion-dollar facility consisting of a much larger ice venue with close to 4,000 stadium seats.

Though the building no longer stands, its memories remain in the minds of residents of Summerside. The Summerside Western Capitals hosted the Royal Bank Cup in Cahill Stadium in 1997, only winning 1 game in the round robin stage before coming back with an overtime win and then beating the South Surrey Eagles by a score of 4–3 in front of almost 4,000 people, although the stadium capacity was really only 1,200.

In the last game held at the stadium in February 2007, 1,322 fans watched the Western Capitals defeat the Charlottetown Abbies 7–3.

Cahill Stadium also had bowling lanes and a second facility called Steele Arena.

Hymn to Intellectual Beauty

"Hymn to Intellectual Beauty" is a poem written by Percy Bysshe Shelley in 1816 and published in 1817.

Composition and publication
"Hymn to Intellectual Beauty" was written during the summer of 1816 while Percy and Mary Shelley stayed with Lord Byron near Lake Geneva, Switzerland. Percy Shelley sent a finished copy of the poem to his friend Leigh Hunt who immediately lost it. Shelley was therefore forced to create another finished draft of the poem and resend the poem. It was eventually published in Hunt's Examiner on 19 January 1817. The poem also appeared in the 1819 collection Rosalind and Helen, A Modern Eclogue; With Other Poems printed by C. H. Reynell for Charles and James Ollier in London and in Miscellaneous and Posthumous Poems of Percy Bysshe Shelley by William Benbow in 1826 in London. After the initial publication, Percy Shelley corrected lines 27 and 58 but made no other changes. A second finished version was discovered in December 1976 in the Scrope Davies Notebook; it was written in Mary Shelley's hand and contained many differences from the first published edition.

Summary
The shadow of a strange power floats unseen throughout the world, entering into man, coming and going mysteriously. Shelley asks this shadow, which he calls a "Spirit of Beauty," where it has gone and why it disappears and leaves us desolate. Then he acknowledges that it is vain to ask this question; one might as well ask why rainbows disappear or why man can both love and hate, despair and hope. No voice from another world has ever answered these questions. The "names of Demon, Ghost, and Heaven" are the record of men's vain attempts to get answers to such questions. Only the light of the Spirit of Beauty gives grace and truth to the restless dream which life is. If the Spirit of Beauty remained constantly with man, man would be immortal and omnipotent. It nourishes human thought. The poet beseeches this spirit not to depart from the world. Without it, death would be an experience to be feared.

In his youth, Shelley sought spiritual reality in ghosts and the dead. In his search, the shadow of the Spirit of Beauty suddenly fell on him and filled him with elation. He vowed that he would dedicate himself to this Spirit and he has kept his vow. He is convinced that it will free the world from the state of slavery in which it is. He prays that this power will bring calm to his life, for he worships it. It has taught him to fear himself and love all mankind.

Poem
"Hymn to Intellectual Beauty" is an 84-line ode that was influenced by Jean-Jacques Rousseau's novel of sensibility Julie, or the New Heloise and William Wordsworth's "Ode: Intimations of Immortality". Although the theme of the ode, glory's departure, is shared with Wordsworth's ode, Shelley holds a differing view of nature:
 * The awful shadow of some unseen Power
 * Floats through unseen among us, – visiting
 * This various world with as inconstant wing
 * As summer winds that creep from flower to flower. –
 * Like moonbeams that behind some piny mountain shower,
 * It visits with inconstant glance
 * Each human heart and countenance;
 * Like hues and harmonies of evening
 * Like clouds of starlight widely spread,
 * Like memories of music fled,
 * Like aught that for its grace may be –
 * Dear, and yet dearer for its mystery.

The second stanza begins with the narrator addressing Intellectual Beauty:
 * Spirit of Beauty, that dost consecrate
 * With thine own hues all thou dost shine upon
 * Of human thought or form, – where art thou gone?
 * Why dost thou pass away and leave our state,
 * This dim vast vale of tears, vacant and desolate? (Lines 13–17)
 * Ask why sunlight not forever,
 * Weaves rainbows o'er yon mountain river.
 * Why aught should fail and fade that once is shown,
 * Why fear and dream and death and birth,
 * Cast on the daylight of this earth such gloom –
 * Why does man have such a scope
 * For love and hate, despondency and hope?

But he is not answered, as he reveals in stanza three:
 * No voice from some sublimer world hath ever
 * To sage or poet these responses given –
 * Therefore the name of God and ghosts and Heaven,
 * Remain the records of their vain endeavour, (Lines 25–28)

The fourth stanza reveals three values:
 * Love, Hope, and Self-esteem, like clouds depart
 * And come, for some uncertain moments lent.
 * Man were immortal, and omnipotent,
 * Didst thou, unknown and awful as thou art,
 * Keep with thy glorious train firm state within his heart. (Lines 36–41)

Shelley replaces the third of the Christian values, faith, with self-esteem, which signifies respect for the human imagination. According to the narrator, we have only temporary access to these values and can only attain them through Intellectual Beauty:
 * Thou messenger of sympathies,
 * That wax and wane in lovers's eyes-
 * Thou – that to human thought art nourishment,
 * Like darkness to a dying flame!
 * Depart not as thy shadow came,
 * Depart not – lest the grave should be,
 * Like life and fear, a dark reality. (Lines 42–48)

In stanza five, he reveals:
 * While yet a boy I sought for ghosts, and sped
 * Through many a listening chamber, cave and ruin,
 * And starlight wood, with fearful steps pursuing
 * Hopes of high talk with the departed dead. (Lines 49–52)

The words he speaks, possibly referring to Christian doctrines, brought him no response. It was not until he mused on life that he was able to experience a sort of religious awakening and learn of Intellectual Beauty:
 * Sudden, thy shadow fell on me;
 * I shrieked, and clasped my hands in ecstasy! (Lines 59–60)

Once he learns of Intellectual Beauty, he makes a vow, which begins stanza six:
 * I vowed that I would dedicate my powers
 * To thee and thine – have I not kept the vow?

Stanza seven continues with the vow:
 * Thus let thy power, which like the truth
 * Of nature on my passive youth
 * Descended, to my onward life supply
 * Its calm – to one who worships thee,
 * And every form containing thee,
 * Whom, Spirit fair, thy spells did bind
 * To fear himself, and love all human kind. (Lines 78–84)

The narrator breaks from the Wordsworthian tradition by realising that Intellectual Beauty, and not manifestations of it in nature, is what should be worshipped. The imagination, and not nature, is connected to truth, and the narrator realises that he should revere his own imagination and the imagination of others.

Variations
The first published edition varies from both the copy found in the Scrope Davies Notebook copy of the poem and the original manuscript draft in terms of language and philosophical view.

Themes
Shelley's understanding of Beauty as an ideal and universal aspect, as opposed to the common understanding of the word as an aesthetic judgment of an object, was influenced by his knowledge of Plato's writings. However, where Plato believed Beauty should be sought after gradually in degrees until one can achieve true Beauty, a process made possible through dialectic, Shelley believed that Beauty could also be found through its earthly manifestations and could only be connected to through the use of the imagination. The origins of Shelley's understanding of Beauty and how to attain it can be found within "Hymn to Intellectual Beauty". The poem's theme is Beauty, but Shelley's understanding of how the mind works is different from Plato's: Plato wrote (principally in the Symposium) that Beauty is a metaphysical object existing independent of our experiences of particular concrete objects, while Shelley believed that philosophy and metaphysics could not reveal truth and that an understanding of Beauty was futile. Instead, Beauty could only be felt and its source could not be known.

Analysis
The "Hymn to Intellectual Beauty" was conceived and written during a boating excursion with Byron on Lake Geneva, Switzerland, in June 1816. The beauty of the lake and of the Swiss Alps is responsible for Shelley's elevating what he calls "Intellectual Beauty" to the ruling principle of the universe.

Alpine scenery was new to Shelley and unutterably beautiful. He was profoundly moved by it, and the poem, he wrote to Leigh Hunt, was "composed under the influence of feelings which agitated me even to tears." Thanks to the Alps, Shelley, who had given up Christianity, had at last found a deity which he could wholeheartedly adore. The worship of beauty is Shelley's new religion, and it is significant that he calls his poem a hymn, a term used almost exclusively for religious verse. Later, in August 1817, Shelley read Plato's Symposium and his faith in beauty was no doubt strengthened by Plato's discussion of abstract beauty in that work and in the Phaedrus, which Shelley read in August 1818. It was daily intercourse with stunning beauty, not Plato, however, that brought Shelley to his new faith. Joseph Barrell, in Shelley and the Thought of His Time: A Study in the History of Ideas, has shown that the "Hymn" is not Platonic.

The central idea of "Hymn to Intellectual Beauty" is that there is a spiritual power that stands apart from both the physical world and the heart of man. This power is unknown to man and invisible, but its shadow visits "this various world with as inconstant wing / As summer winds that creep from flower to flower" and it visits also "with inconstant glance / Each human heart and countenance." When it passes away it leaves "our state, / This dim vast vale of tears, vacant and desolate." Shelley does not profess to know why Intellectual Beauty, which he calls "unknown and awful," is an inconstant visitor, but he is convinced that if it kept "with [its] glorious train firm state" within man's heart, man would be "immortal and omnipotent." But since the Spirit of Beauty visits the world and man's heart with such irregularity, Shelley pleads with his deity rather than praises it. It remains remote and inaccessible. In the concluding stanza Shelley is a suppliant praying that the power of the Spirit of Beauty will continue to supply its calm "to one who worships thee, / And every form containing thee."

In Stanza V, Shelley confesses that in his youth, while he was searching for spiritual reality, chiefly by reading Gothic romances, the shadow of Intellectual Beauty suddenly fell on him. He shrieked and clasped his hands in ecstasy. As a consequence of this experience, he tells us in Stanza VI, he vowed that he would dedicate his "powers / To thee and thine," and he has kept his vow. The experience also left him with the hope that the Spirit of Beauty would free "this world from its dark slavery." In this stanza, Shelley combined two of the major interests of his life, love of beauty and love of freedom.

In regard to the "Intellectual Beauty" of the title, Barrell remarked that it implies an approach by means of the mental faculties but that Shelley meant to convey the idea that his concept of beauty was abstract rather than concrete. His approach is romantic and emotional. Shelley, however, thinks of his Spirit of Beauty as personal, like the God of Christianity. He addresses it, pleads with it, worships it, but is using only the rhetorical device of personification.

John W. Morgan

John W. Morgan, (born May 7, 1964), is a Canadian lawyer, politician, and businessman. He was the mayor of the Cape Breton Regional Municipality (CRBM) in Nova Scotia from 2000 to 2012.

Morgan is a graduate of the University College of Cape Breton and St. Francis Xavier University, where he received a bachelor of science degree, majoring in chemistry and minoring in mathematics. He attended Dalhousie University, where he obtained a master's degree in business administration and a bachelor's degree in law under the combined MBA/LLB degree program, graduating in 1990.

First elected in October 2000, Morgan has since been re-elected twice (in 2004 and 2008) with over 80% of the votes cast.

Morgan filed a lawsuit on behalf of CBRM against the Government of Nova Scotia alleging unequal per capita provincial funding for his municipality. Morgan had applied to the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board to reject the Boundary Review citing the citizenry want a downsized municipal council. The eventual decision was that the Boundary Review was flawed and will need to be re-done by 2010.

On August 17, 2012, Morgan released a statement announcing that he would not re-offer in the 2012 municipal election. He was succeeded as mayor by Cecil Clarke.

Talk:Allomerus decemarticulatus

Untitled
It sounds to me like the ants have about as much a symbiotic relationship with the hairy plant and the fungus as we have with trees and cows (if we were to make a wood-and-leather trap for something)

Improvements and Response to Untitled
So I just made some improvements to the page, with more material and more sources. Also, in response to the earlier comment, the ants' relationship with the fungus may be more similar to the human relationship with trees and cows you talked about, but the plant actually shows many modified physical characteristics that seem to be specialized to support ant colonies. So the ants are not just harvesting the fungus and plant hairs to use as a trap, but the plant species has coevolved with the ant species to allow the ants to make the best traps, because this not only maximizes the predatory ability of the ant, it also maximizes protection from herbivores for the plant. In the human relationship, we are only really using pre-existing materials (wood and leather). Riceowl2014 (talk) 20:14, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Maryland Route 404

Maryland Route 404 (MD 404) is a major highway on Maryland's Eastern Shore in the United States. Signed east-west, it runs 24.61 mi from MD 662 in Wye Mills on the border of Queen Anne's and Talbot counties, southeast to the Delaware state line in Caroline County, where the road continues as Delaware Route 404 (DE 404) to the Five Points intersection near Rehoboth Beach. The Maryland and Delaware state highways together cross the width of the Delmarva Peninsula and serve to connect the Baltimore–Washington Metropolitan Area by way of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and U.S. Route 50 (US 50) with the Delaware Beaches. Along the way, MD 404 passes through mostly farmland and woodland as well as the towns of Queen Anne, Hillsboro, and Denton. The route is a four-lane divided highway between US 50 and east of Denton, with the remainder of the route a two-lane undivided road.

MD 404 was designated by 1933 to run from Matapeake (where the Annapolis–Matapeake ferry across the Chesapeake Bay connected the route to Annapolis), east along present-day MD 8, US 50, and MD 662 to Wye Mills, where it followed its current routing to the Delaware border. By 1946, the route's western terminus was moved to MD 2 north of Annapolis, where it headed east across the Chesapeake Bay on the Sandy Point-Matapeake ferry. The western terminus was cut back to Wye Mills in 1949, having been replaced by US 50 west of there. The route was realigned to bypass Queen Anne and Hillsboro in 1960 and Denton in 1987.

Since MD 404 is the main route for travelers between the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and the Delaware Beaches, the road experienced a high accident rate. To improve on this situation, the Maryland State Highway Administration planned to widen the two-lane portions of the route into a four-lane divided highway. A portion of the road east of Tuckahoe Creek in Caroline County received $7.7 million for widening as a part of the stimulus bill signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2009; this section was widened in 2012. Widening on the remainder of MD 404 between US 50 and Denton was completed in November 2017.

Route description
MD 404 begins at an intersection with MD 662 (Old Wye Mills Road) in Wye Mills on the border between Queen Anne's County to the north and Talbot County to the south, heading to the east on Queen Anne's Highway, a two-lane undivided road. It runs east through farmland along the county line before reaching an intersection with US 50 (Ocean Gateway). This intersection has park and ride lots on the northwest and northeast corners. From here, MD 404 continues east through farmland with some residences and wooded areas as a four-lane divided highway, approaching the town of Queen Anne.

Further east, Old Queen Anne Road splits from MD 404 at an eastbound right-in/right-out intersection, with MD 404 crossing entirely into Queen Anne's County. It resumes east through some farmland before coming to a junction with MD 309 (Starr Road) near some businesses. Past MD 309, the route meets the northern terminus of MD 303 (Cordova Road), which intersects the route at a right-in/right-out intersection with the eastbound lanes of MD 404. From MD 303, the road enters wooded areas adjacent to Tuckahoe State Park, heading across an abandoned railroad grade owned by the Maryland Department of Transportation, before crossing the Tuckahoe Creek.

MD 404 enters Caroline County upon crossing the Tuckahoe Creek, where it becomes Shore Highway. It emerges from the woods into agricultural areas, intersecting the western terminus of MD 480 (Ridgely Road) near Hillsboro. Past that intersection, the route heads through a mix of woods and residences before coming to a superstreet junction with the eastern terminus of MD 404 Alt. (Hillsboro Road), where MD 404 heads into a mix of farms and woodland. Unsigned MD 485 (Saathoff Road) loops to the south of MD 404 between a pair of superstreet junctions, returning to the route before the superstreet intersection with the southern terminus of MD 312 (Downes Station Road). The route continues to the southeast through farms, heading toward Denton. As the road approaches Denton, it heads through rural areas with some residences and businesses. MD 404 Bus. (Meeting House Road) splits from MD 404 to head through the center of Denton while MD 404 continues east to bypass Denton to the north.

The route runs through fields before intersecting MD 328 (New Bridge Road). Past this intersection, MD 404 crosses over the Choptank River on the Governor Harry R. Hughes Bridge. It continues east as a freeway with a diamond interchange at MD 313 (Greensboro Road) and MD 619 (Sixth Street), where some businesses are located. MD 313 forms a concurrency with MD 404 and the two routes turn south, heading along the eastern side of Denton through woodland and then past residential neighborhoods. The road turns to the southwest, heading into woods and intersecting the eastern terminus of MD 404 Bus. (Franklin Street/Gay Street) at an at-grade intersection, where the freeway section ends. MD 313/MD 404 continue as a four-lane divided highway with at-grade intersections that turns south and heads through some commercial areas.

The road heads south into farmland, passing east of Martinak State Park. It crosses over Watts Creek and comes to an intersection with MD 16 (Harmony Road), with that route joining MD 313/MD 404 for a three-way concurrency. The three routes continue southeast, narrowing into a two-lane undivided road that heads through a mix of woods and farms with some homes. The road turns more to the east-southeast, with MD 313 splitting from MD 16/MD 404 by heading south on Federalsburg Highway in Andersontown. The road turns southeast and in a short distance, MD 16 splits from MD 404 by heading east on Greenwood Road. Past this intersection, MD 404 continues southeast through farmland and woodland to the Delaware border, where the road continues as DE 404, which runs east to the Five Points intersection with DE 1 in Nassau (near Rehoboth Beach).

East of US 50, MD 404 serves as part of the main route connecting the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and the Baltimore–Washington Metropolitan Area to the Delaware Beaches. MD 404 is a part of the main National Highway System for its entire length except for the portion from MD 662 to US 50 in Wye Mills.

History
By 1921, what would become MD 404 was built as a state highway within Queen Anne, from Hillsboro to a point between Hillsboro and Denton, and between West Denton and Denton. The state highway between Queen Anne and Denton was completed by 1927. By 1933, MD 404 was designated onto a state highway between Matapeake, where the Annapolis–Matapeake ferry across the Chesapeake Bay connected the route to Annapolis in Anne Arundel County, and the Delaware border southeast of Denton. The route headed east across Kent Island to Queenstown, where it turned southeast to Wye Mills and continued east through Queen Anne, Hillsboro, and Denton. By 1946, the route's western terminus was moved to MD 2 north of Annapolis in Anne Arundel County, crossing the Chesapeake Bay on the Sandy Point–Matapeake ferry, roughly where the Chesapeake Bay Bridge is now, and continuing west through Skidmore to MD 2. This extension of MD 404 replaced the portion of MD 179 leading to Skidmore. MD 404 was rerouted to bypass Wye Mills in 1948, with part of the former alignment through the community becoming part of MD 662.

A year later, the western terminus of MD 404 was moved to MD 662 in Wye Mills. West of Wye Mills, the route was replaced by an extended US 50. The former alignment of MD 404 west of Wye Mills is now the US 50 approaches to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, with the part between Matapeake and Stevensville now a part of MD 8. In 1950, MD 404 was rerouted to bypass Queen Anne and Hillsboro to the north, with the former alignment now Old Queen Anne Road and MD 404 Alt. A portion of the route between Hillsboro and Denton was bypassed in 1960. This former alignment of MD 404 is now known as Saathoff Road and has the unsigned MD 485 designation. In 1972, MD 404 and MD 313 were relocated to a one-way pair, eastbound Franklin Street and westbound Gay Street, through Denton. The routes previously headed south out of Denton on Sixth Street and Fifth Avenue. The former alignment along Sixth Street became MD 619 by 1978. In the early 1980s, construction began to widen MD 404 to a divided highway. By 1985, construction was underway for the four-lane divided bypass of Denton between MD 404 west of Denton and MD 313 north of Denton. In 1987, MD 313 and MD 404 were rerouted to bypass Denton along the newly completed four-lane divided bypass. The former alignment of MD 404 through Denton became MD 404 Bus.

The Maryland State Highway Administration worked on improvements to MD 404 in order to provide relief to travelers driving to the ocean resorts, notably by widening the remainder of the route into a four-lane divided highway. The primary motive behind the widening was the high accident rate that plagued the two-lane road, brought on by beach traffic. The divided highway portion of MD 404 in the Denton area was extended further in the 2000s from the south end of Denton to the Sennett Road intersection east of where MD 16 joins the route. The section between south of Legion Road and Double Hills Road was widened in 2005 while the section between Double Hills Road and Sennett Road was widened in 2007. This project received $3 million from the federal government in 2001. As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 signed into law by President Barack Obama on February 17, 2009, $7.7 million went to widening a portion of MD 404 east of Tuckahoe Creek in Caroline County, creating 221 jobs. The widening of this section was completed in 2012. On May 21, 2014, groundbreaking took place to widen MD 404 between west of MD 309 and Cemetery Road. The project to widen this section cost a total of $39 million. On June 25, 2015, Governor Larry Hogan announced that state funding would be allocated to finish widening MD 404 between US 50 and Denton, among other projects across the state. A total of $160 million in funds would go to widening MD 404. Widening of the section between west of MD 309 and Cemetery Road was completed in mid-2017. Work on widening of the remaining sections of MD 404 between US 50 and Denton was completed on November 20, 2017, with Governor Hogan in attendance for a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

On May 29, 2011, the Route 404 Memorial Garden, located near Denton, was dedicated, honoring those who were killed in car accidents along MD 404. The memorial consists of a flagpole surrounded by a circular path with bricks bearing the names of people who died along the route.

Hillsboro alternate route
Maryland Route 404 Alternate (MD 404 Alt.) is a 2.69 mi long alternate route of MD 404 in Talbot and Caroline counties. The route runs along the former alignment of MD 404 through the towns of Queen Anne and Hillsboro. The route begins at an intersection with MD 309 (Cordova Road) near Queen Anne, Talbot County, where it heads east on two-lane undivided Millsboro Denton Road. West of MD 309, Old Queen Anne Road continues west to MD 404. MD 404 Alt. passes through woodland, crossing under an abandoned railroad grade owned by the Maryland Department of Transportation before coming to MD 303 (Lewistown Road). At this point, the route turns north to form a concurrency with MD 303 along Talbot Avenue, and the two routes enter Queen Anne as it turns to the east. MD 303 splits from MD 404 Alt. by turning north on Main Street, while MD 404 Alt. continues east past homes, intersecting MD 518 (First Street). As the road runs a short distance to the south of the Tuckahoe Creek, there is an industrial building on the south side of the road. Upon crossing the Tuckahoe Creek, MD 404 Alt. enters Hillsboro in Caroline County and becomes Hillsboro Road. The route continues through residential areas of the town. Upon leaving Hillsboro, the road heads into agricultural areas with a few homes and a patch of woods. MD 404 Alt. ends at an intersection with MD 404 east of Hillsboro.

Junction list

Denton business loop
Maryland Route 404 Business (MD 404 Bus.) is a 2.32 mi long business route of MD 404 through the town of Denton in Caroline County. The route runs along the former alignment of MD 404 that was bypassed by the divided, four-lane Denton Bypass. MD 404 Bus. branches off from MD 404 west of Denton by heading southeast on a two-lane divided road called Meeting House Road that soon becomes undivided as it passes through farmland with some businesses. As it comes to MD 328 (New Bridge Road) in West Denton, the route passes near residences. The road crosses the Choptank River into Denton, where it becomes Franklin Street. Shortly after the river, MD 404 Bus. splits into a one-way pair that follows Franklin Street eastbound and Gay Street westbound, with Market Street running between Franklin and Gay streets. The one-way pair, which has two lanes in each direction, carries the route through the residential and commercial downtown of Denton, with the westbound direction passing north of the Caroline County Courthouse. East of the downtown area, the one-way pair intersects MD 619 (Sixth Street). In the eastern part of Denton, the two directions of MD 404 Bus. turn south and join again, becoming a four-lane divided highway with the Franklin Street name that runs through woodland. MD 404 Bus. ends at MD 313/MD 404 a short distance later.

Toyota Motor Manufacturing Czech Republic

Toyota Motor Manufacturing Czech Republic s.r.o., also known by its initials TMMCZ, is a Czech automobile manufacturer headquartered in Kolín, Czech Republic. It was originally established in 2002 by the Toyota Motor Corporation and the PSA Group (previously PSA Peugeot Citroën) as a 50:50 joint venture known as Toyota Peugeot Citroën Automobile Czech s.r.o. (TPCA) until 2021. On 1 January 2021, two years after announcement of the end of the joint venture in Europe, Toyota acquired the remaining 50% of PSA's interest in TPCA and adopted its present name.

History
TPCA was established in March 2002 and production started in February 2005.

In November 2018, PSA and Toyota announced the end of their joint venture in Europe. On 1 January 2021, the plant became a wholly owned subsidiary of Toyota Motor Europe and was renamed as Toyota Motor Manufacturing Czech Republic, making it its 8th plant in Europe.

Products
The company originally produced three cars that were, in essence, the same but badge engineered: the Citroën C1, Peugeot 107 and Toyota Aygo. These cars shared the vast majority of parts with only small cosmetic alterations. The project was called B-Zero after its city car market segment.

In 2014, the new generation models were launched, with Citroën and Toyota retaining their existing model names, and Peugeot naming their new version the 108. The second generation joint venture still shares many key components, but there are more visual differences between the different marques.

Current products

 * Toyota Aygo X (2021–present)
 * Toyota Yaris (XP210) (2021–present)

Former products

 * Citroën C1 (2005–2021)
 * Peugeot 107 (2005–2014)
 * Peugeot 108 (2014–2021)
 * Toyota Aygo (2005–2021)

2010 recall
In January 2010, Toyota announced a worldwide recall on several of their vehicles for a faulty sticking accelerator pedal - in which the Aygo is affected. Under certain circumstances, the pedal can stick in a partially depressed position, or return slowly to the off position. PSA Peugeot Citroën followed suit, announcing a recall of "under 100,000 units" of the Citroën C1 and the Peugeot 107 for the same issue. New information from Toyota has suggested, however, that only Aygos and Peugeot 107s with Aisin Ez-drive automated manual gearboxes (Multi-mode/2-Tronic) are affected, and that those with manual gearboxes are not.

Firebreaker Chip

Curtis Thompson (born January 20, 1963) is an American retired professional wrestler. He is best known for his appearances with World Championship Wrestling from 1991 to 1992 under the ring name Firebreaker Chip.

Early career (1987–1991)
Curtis Thompson started wrestling in 1987 in NWA. Subsequently, he wrestled in the World Wrestling Council in Puerto Rico under a mask as a heel (White Angel) and was betrayed and unmasked by his manager Chicky Starr resulting in a feud including a cage match, in Stampede Wrestling (as the masked Archangel), South Atlantic Pro Wrestling, and in Pacific Northwest Wrestling where he won the NWA Pacific Northwest Heavyweight Championship, defeating Scotty the Body. He formed a tag team with Ricky Santana called the U.S. Males in PNW and won the NWA Pacific Northwest Tag Team Championship. He also wrestled briefly in 1988 as a jobber in the World Wrestling Federation, losing to the likes of The Ultimate Warrior and Bad News Brown.

In 1990/1991 Thompson would use the "U.S. Male" gimmick where he wore a mailman uniform to the ring in the United States Wrestling Association (USWA) and South Atlantic Pro Wrestling (SAPW) in the Carolinas as a member of Robert Fuller's Stud Stable. Thompson would eventually free himself from the Stud Stable, turning face in the process at the end of 1990 while wrestling in SAPW. In 1990 he went to North Georgia Wrestling and won a match against Fabulous Fabian (aka Buff Bagwell).

World Championship Wrestling (1991–1993)
In 1991 he joined World Championship Wrestling. He became Firebreaker Chip and teamed with Todd Champion as The Patriots. He had the gimmick of being a fireman while teaming with Todd Champion who had the gimmick that he'd returned from Desert Storm and were billed as being from "WCW Special Forces". They feuded with the Fabulous Freebirds and won the WCW United States Tag Team Championship. They next feuded with Steve Armstrong and Tracy Smothers who beat them for the titles.

Independent circuit (1993–2005)
Thompson left WCW in early 1993 and wrestled in the independent promotions and took time to participate in several bodybuilding competitions and came in top three in Mr. North Carolina bodybuilding contest. He also wrestled briefly for Smoky Mountain Wrestling from 1993 to 1995. In 1996 he became the first CWA (Texas) Heavyweight Champion defeating Scott Putski.

Ada Choi

Ada Choi Siu-fan (born 17 September 1973) is a Hong Kong actress best known for her work for TVB television, as an evil empress in the Chinese television series Empresses in the Palace (甄嬛傳), and to a lesser extent, for her film work.

Career
Choi was born in 1973 in Hong Kong to a Chaozhou family. Her parents divorced when she was five years old. She speaks Cantonese, Mandarin, Teochow and English. In 1989, at the persuasion of her family, Choi participated in a modeling contest held by TVB at age 15. Two years later, she was a contestant in the 1991 Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant. During the semi-finals she placed first with an overall score of 483. She eventually finished as the second runner-up during the finals. As a result, she signed a contract with TVB and starting taking on acting jobs. She won the TVB Anniversary Award for Best Actress for her performance in Secret of the Heart (1998). Along with Maggie Cheung Ho-yee, Kenix Kwok, Flora Chan and Jessica Hsuan, Choi is known as one of the Top 5 "Fa Dans" (term used for actresses with high popularity) of TVB from the mid-1990s to mid-2000s. In 2009, she starred in Rebellion as a triad gang leader who chain-smokes and curses, a different type of role for Ada. In recent years, she has participated in numerous variety and reality shows as a regular cast member including Up Idol (2015), Run for Time (2015), My Dearest Ladies (2019) and Viva La Romance (2020).

Personal life
On 12 January 2008, Choi married Chinese actor Max Zhang whom she had dated for more than four years. He was her co-star in a number of Zhouyi Media television productions including The Legend of Magic Mirror (2003) and Eight Charts (2005). They have two daughters, Zoe and Chloe, born in 2011 and 2013 respectively. In 2019, they announced on social media that they were expecting their third child.

France Five

France Five (フランスファイブ), originally titled Jūshi Sentai France Five (銃士戦隊フランスファイブ) and later known as Shin Kenjūshi France Five (新剣銃士フランスファイブ), is a French mini-series directed by Alex Pilot and produced by Buki X-4 Productions from 2000 to 2013 (with a hiatus between 2004 and 2012). It is an homage to Toei's popular Super Sentai series, which was extremely popular in France in the 1980s and the 1990s. As a nod to Super Sentai titles having certain motifs, France Five has each member themed after certain aspects of French culture.

There have been four half-hour episodes of France Five produced. The fifth episode aired on May 5, 2012, during a projection in Paris, and also premiered in June for Japan and the French television, Nolife, created by the creators of France Five. The episode includes a preview of the sixth and final episode.

This series is said to be a nod to another Sentai pastiche, Aikoku Sentai Dai-Nippon (Patriot Squadron Great Japan) (1982) by Daicon Films (now Gainax).

The series has become somewhat popular in Japan as well, with singer Akira Kushida singing an original theme for the series starting with episode 4. Prior to that point, the themes were French remixes of older Sentai theme songs (Choujin Sentai Jetman and Choudenshi Bioman) as well as an original French theme.

Story
Glou Man Chou, ruler of the Lexos Empire, desires to conquer planet Earth. However, the Eiffel Tower generates a barrier around the planet that keeps him from sending his armies en masse. Glou Man Chou sends his warriors and monsters to Earth to destroy the tower and enable a full-scale invasion, but they are opposed by France Five.

In the fourth episode, the shield is disabled and Lexos's army is shown prepared to invade the planet. Professor Burgonde is captured and France Five go in hiding. In episode 5, France Five reappear to battle Lexos, but they are overpowered by Zakaral and his generals. After being freed from captivity by France Five and his robot assistant Margarine, Professor Burgonde initiates a top-secret program in France Five's system as a last-ditch effort to save them.

Talk:Tom G. Palmer

WikiProject class rating
This article was automatically assessed because at least one WikiProject had rated the article as start, and the rating on other projects was brought up to start class. BetacommandBot 16:37, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Too much information?
I recently deleted some information, but was reverted, so would like to request comments here. The info I deleted seemed to be excessive stuff, in two categories: I'd like to clean a bunch of that up, but realize that this is a contested article and would like some assistance/input from others. Thanks! -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 15:55, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Minor info in lists - for example, listing a whole bunch of journals (few of which are notable) that Palmer's written for.
 * Ecessive external links - for instance, there are eight in-line links to pages on the cato.org website, and 13(!!) inline links to Palmer's blog - with another five in the "External links" section.

There's a huge backstory to this page that you're maybe not aware of, SatyrTN. For months someone kept adding the header tag that this page didn't cite any sources. He'd then pepper the whole article with "citation needed" tags.

So... various people added more and more and more citations until no one could possibly doubt that there were enough. Those of us who watch it are reluctant to remove any source citations at all, because those pesky "citation needed" tags will just come right on back. I wouldn't mind deleting the references to less-notable journals, but ONLY if they are not used to prove any substantive claim in the article. Otherwise they should stay in to preserve the high standards that "someone" obviously demands here. Kuznicki 16:13, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

"Criticism"
Why did we have a link to this article? Palmer's name is never mentioned, and the paragraph referring to him (as a "longtime top official of the Washington-based Cato Institute") doesn't offer any substantive criticism of his actions or views. We learn that he's a "butt-boy of the neocons," that he "has enlisted in an army of banshees bent on blood," that he's "part of what Pope Benedict XVI describes as a satanic force," and he implies Palmer's cab ride from the Baghdad airport cost taxpayers money. But when you strip away the name-calling, all that's left is that Palmer went to Iraq and gave some lectures. It's apparent that Raimondo doesn't approve of this, but he never explains why. I don't think it's appropriate for Wikipedia articles to link to sources that amount to little more than vacuous name-calling. Binarybits (talk) 12:15, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

 * BB: It is clear that the Raimondo article meets the definition of "criticism," which Merriam-Webster defines as "1 : to consider the merits and demerits of and judge accordingly : evaluate; 2 : to find fault with : point out the faults of." Certainly the Raimondo article, which lumps Palmer in with neocons on foreign policy, is a criticism of Palmer. Raimondo describes Palmer as a part of a group that the article is criticizing. It is just disingenuous to say that the only criticisms leveled at Palmer in the article are the crude ones you cite. However, I naturally agree that the verbiage you include above is not appropriate for inclusion in the encyclopedia. If someone were arguing that those lines be quoted in the text of the article, I would oppose that action. However, Palmer has been the subject of criticism by a notable commentator, and it should be noted. Let's let the readers decide whether the criticism is meritorious or not. DickClarkMises (talk) 19:16, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure that Antiwar.com is a reliable source in general. It may be a reliable source for the words of Raimondo, and if we're going to assert thereis criticism then we should attribute it to the critic. However the current text is rather weak: "His involvement in the Middle East has been applauded by some[10] and criticized by others[11]." It'd be more informative to describe the praise and criticism rather than simply note its existence. But is calling someone a "butt boy" really a criticism, or is it just name calling?    Will Beback    talk    19:50, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Will, surely the article by Raimondo includes name-calling, but it cannot be said to be exclusively composed of name-calling. Although I have not suggested citing this Raimondo blog post in the article, it may be useful to read the source above in its context, which was as a continuation of Raimondo's ongoing substantive criticism of what he understood to be Palmer's positions on the Iraq War, withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, etc. As for Antiwar.com not being a reliable source, we aren't using it to back-up controversial assertions about Palmer. We are simply citing an Antiwar article written by a notable critic of Palmer. It may be helpful too to note that Palmer found Raimondo's critique notable enough to respond to it here. DickClarkMises (talk) 20:09, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Palmer simply responded that Raimondo hadn't reported his views accurately. That's very different than responding to the substance of Raimondo's criticism. And I'm still not convinced that there is any substance to Raimondo's criticism besides falsely claiming that Palmer supported the Iraq war.Binarybits (talk) 20:22, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

 * So only criticisms that you believe are factually correct should be permitted in the article? Surely the fact that you personally disagree with a criticism can't be relevant to the questions of whether there was such a criticism and whether it is notable enough for a cursory mention. DickClarkMises (talk) 20:57, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

 * It seems to me that Raimondo skipped the "consider the merits and demerits" part and skipped straight to the judging. Precisely which faults does the article point out? The closest he comes to a specific criticism is that his taxi ride from the Baghdad airport cost taxpayers money. That seems a pretty far cry from saying Raimondo "criticized his involvement in the Middle East." Binarybits (talk) 20:02, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

 * All we are saying is that Palmer's role was both praised and criticized. This is a neutral, factual assertion. I have provided two additional sources: (1) a previous criticism of Palmer that I am arguing was continued in the disputed source, and (2) a response by Palmer that demonstrates the notability of the Raimondo criticism. Are you really claiming that Raimondo has not criticized Palmer's positions on US involvement in Iraq? It seems easily verifiable that he has. DickClarkMises (talk) 20:13, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

 * On top of all the other problems with including Raimondo's criticisms in the article, this seems like a clear case of original research. The Palmer-Raimondo dispute has not, AFAIK, been covered by any reliable sources. There are probably hundreds of blog posts over the years that have praised or criticized Palmer. What makes this one special? Binarybits (talk) 20:22, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

 * WP:BLP is pretty clear about using blogs and self-published sources. Let's find a source besides "Antiwar.com" for the criticism.   Will Beback    talk    20:47, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Will, I can't agree that antiwar.com as a whole is unsuitable for use as a source on Wikipedia. Are you really making this claim? Here is another non-blog article from that source by Justin Raimondo which substantively criticizes Palmer on Iraqi policy, btw. DickClarkMises (talk) 21:00, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if it's a self-published site or not, now that I look at it. But in general, BLPs require stricter sourcing than other articles. Two previous threads at WP:RSN have found it to be an unreliable site: Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 3 and Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 2. We can start a new thread to see if the view has changed.   Will Beback    talk    21:12, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Lewrockwell.com definitely appears to be a self-published source. Is there any evidence to the contrary?   Will Beback    talk    22:43, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

 * LewRockwell.com is published by a 501(c)(4) organization which involves more people than Lew Rockwell. LRC has thus far been treated as notable enough to have an article of its own. Would we say that editorials written by editors-in-chief at other notable media outlets were "self-published" in the sense that WP:SELFPUB is concerned about? There is an LRC blog, but the Rockwell quote isn't drawn from it. It is drawn from an article, which was published as part of a daily issue. My understanding of the process for publication is that it involves selection by Rockwell (or his occasional replacements at LRC's helm, like Thomas DiLorenzo), substantive copyediting (presumably by the copyeditors listed here), layout, proofing, and publication. Furthermore, Lew Rockwell is certainly recognized by many as an expert on libertarian theory, politics, and policy. This seems to be what he is notable for, after all. Given the fact that LewRockwell.com is not a one-man band with sporadically published editorials by Lew Rockwell, but rather a notable libertarian news and commentary site with a regular publication schedule, hundreds of contributors, and editorial review process, it isn't obvious to me that this is what that section of WP:V is written to avoid. The quoted text from the Rockwell article was selected to simply demonstrate that Palmer's positions on Iraqi policy have been notably criticized by other libertarians, not to suggest that Rockwell's criticism was sound or unsound. My use of the source is intended to support the assertion that such critiques exist. DickClarkMises (talk) 01:42, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * We have articles on all sorts of unreliable sources, including blogs. In the past, comments by editors-in-chief have been considered self-published. Copyediting implies just checking for spelling and grammar. I certainly sympathize with the problem of articles about people who are prominent in the blogosphere. We can cite what they say on their own blog, but we can't mention what other bloggers say about them. It's asymmetrical, but it's the way Wikipedia has been put together. If there's still a question over whether Rockwell's comments on LRC are adequate for adding critical material to a BLP we can check in with the reliable sources noticeboard.   Will Beback    talk    04:24, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Will, I can't agree that "copyediting implies just checking for spelling and grammar." This could be said of "proofreading," perhaps, however there are degrees of copyediting that range from more invasive, substantive revisions to light copyediting that merely works for formal consistency (spelling, numeral usage, citations, etc.). I don't agree that LRC is merely a self-published source by someone "prominent in the blogosphere" any more than this would be true of the Huffington Post. I am not very familiar with RSN, so if you would care to start the thread there I would be happy to offer points for consideration by the larger community in that context rather than posing them here. My basic position is that LRC is essentially a news and commentary website that has a publishing procedure that is robust enough to avoid the major concerns of WP:V. Of course, using op-ed material to assert controversial facts would almost always be inappropriate, so I wouldn't argue for using LRC pieces for such a purpose. I am arguing simply that when a notable person has a piece published at LRC the article can be reliably attributed to that person. DickClarkMises (talk) 20:31, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Reviewing the history I can find, an FAC reviewer complained about LRC being used as a source.Featured article candidates/Ron Paul/archive3. LRC was the topic here: Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 20, though it appears everyone implicitly agreed it was unreliable and focused instead on minimizing its use. I can't find any other broad discussions, so if there's still a question I suggest we take it to WP:RSN.  Will Beback   talk    04:46, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

 * The FAC reviewer's complaint was met with one response from someone who disagreed, so that doesn't seem to be much evidence of a consensus that LRC is or is not a reliable source. I agree with Carol Moore's sentiments that you pointed to here, but I don't seem to be able to find the subsequent editing history that you allude to. Again, if you would care to start an RSN thread I would be happy to participate in discussion there. Best, DickClarkMises (talk) 20:31, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

I've just come across this sentence: 'Raimondo also labels him a "butt-boy of the neocons," describes him as (quoting Pope Benedict XVI) "a satanic force still at work in the world unleashing 'evil energy,'" and complains that Palmer's taxi ride from the Baghdad airport required taxpayer-funded security protection.' How on earth does this series of rants belong in an encyclopedia?Sajita (talk) 18:58, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Those comments don't, but unfortunately another editor inserted them in contravention of WP:POINT. DickClarkMises (talk) 19:51, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

 * I don't think this is an example of WP:POINT. If Raimondo's piece is worth covering, then it's worth giving the reader an accurate impression of what it says. Systematically editing out all the parts that make him sound crazy gives the reader an inaccurate understanding of the piece. NPOV requires that we represent the piece accurately, not cherry-pick the parts that we like the most. Binarybits (talk) 20:58, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

 * I didn't select a quote based on "liking" it. I didn't know anything about this antiwar.com article until I saw you and the other editor going back and forth over it. I believe that the quote I selected, from the first sentence of the paragraph about Palmer, is a reasonably good representation of Raimondo's substantive criticisms of Palmer. Readers who want to know more about the dispute can easily click on the links in the footnotes to the back and forth between Raimondo and Palmer. Alternatively, they can go to the Justin Raimondo article and read more about him there. WP:POINT is relevant because you seem to be inserting content into the article to prove a point about a source rather than to improve the article with your changes. DickClarkMises (talk) 22:52, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

 * I've started a thread at RSN to discuss LRC and, secondarily, Antiwar.com. See WP:RSN. I'm sure I left out some important details so please add your own comments and perspectives. If I may make a suggestion, some noticeboard threads end up being continuations of existing arguments with the same participants. The noticeboards are most effecitve when involved parties give their views, and then sit back and let uninvolved editors comment.    Will Beback    talk    23:23, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Will: Thank you for starting the RSN thread. I'll offer my thoughts there and see what other folks think. Cheers, DickClarkMises (talk) 23:29, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Move to Atlas
An anonymous user keeps adding two paragraphs that are sourced only by blog posts, contain speculation about Palmer's employment situation that's almost certainly not verifiable, and features original research about the funding of Palmer's new employer, without any obvious tie to Palmer or his work. I think this is pretty clearly out of line, but would be interested in other peoples' opinions. Binarybits (talk) 19:27, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

To expand on this a little bit, the user in question writes that "mentioning Prop. 8 relevant as Palmer is gay and Atlas employment indicates conservative shift." Now, I don't really agree with either of these claims, but that's beside the point. The point is that this is blatant original research. If we think Palmer has undergone a "conservative shift" (whatever that means) then we need to find a reliable source discussing that shift, not cobble together our own dossier to make that point.
