===Moved I've moved the page, per the naming conventions and your (small) consensus here. -Greg Asche (talk) 22:21, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Discussion
Why has this page been moved from French ship Redoutable (1791)? That's the standard naming convention for ships of the line on Wikipedia. I'm happy for us to change that if we have good reason, but let's be consistent and re-direct the links. JimmyTheOne 23:59, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Description of squadron
"2-vessel and 4-frigate", does this mean two ships of the line and four frigates? Any type of ship, including a frigate, can be described as a "vessel", so were there 2, 4 or 6, ships of various types in the squadron? Dabbler 00:48, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Woops, yes, that's a French-ism, I'm afraid. In French, "vessel" (vaisseau) refers primarly to large warship (hence vaisseau de ligne = "ship of the line", capitaine de vaisseau = Commodore), and only secondarly to about any sort of ship (hence vaisseau spatial = "spaceship"). So that'd be "Ship of the line", indeed. Pfui, nautical technical terms in English are not so easy to translate ! :D

 * Hey, by the way, would you happen to know how to translate tape de bouche in English ? it is some piece of wood which is put into the mouth of a naval gun to prevent water from ruining it while not in use... My best guess for now is "muzzle plug", but I fear that I would be missing a precise term. They are now also tradition item which bear the ars of the unit (for instance here is the tape de bouche of the Jeanne d'Arc.

 * Well, thanks for everything in any case ! Rama 08:11, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

The English word is tompion, a wooden plug for the muzzle of a cannon which was usually decorated in the British Navy too. If you have any other questions, I can answer many and have some multilingual nautical resources and friends. It is one of my interests. Dabbler 11:29, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Whow, thank you so much ! This has been one of my excentric preoccupations for some time now. Hmm, there's no tompion article yet... that'll be an idea for the continuation (I have a number of photographs under a Free license), along with expanding Villaret de Joyeuse. Cheers ! Rama 12:46, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

My turn to Oops, there is an alternative English spelling "Tampion" which does have some pictures already. I will redirect from Tompion. Dabbler 15:04, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I see you have already done that. Good work. Dabbler 15:10, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

Well, yes, I had my Naval Coffee break alreeady, that's why the French Navy is over-represented on this article :) Rama 15:23, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

________________

Is the author of this article sure that they have the correct number of Guns stated as in all references I have seen and been able to check, the given number of guns is 64, not the 74 stated in the article.

The weight of the guns also look rather heavy for both its tonnage and Rate.

 * I haven't seen a single publication that does list the Redoutable as a 64-gun ship. By the 1780s, 64s were regarded as obsolete by the French Navy. The Jason of 1779 was, I believe, the last 64-gun ship built in France. Try any of the authorities listed under the Battle of Trafalgar for confirmation. JimmyTheOne 23:59, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

MIrror-imaged paintings?!?
Er...these two paintings (both in this article) appear to be mirror-images of the same thing:

...both images claim to have been painted by Louis-Philippe Crépin (1772-1851) - the one on the left claims to have been scanned from "L'Empire des Mers, Martine Acerra & Jean Meyer", the one on the right says "The Redoutable at the battle of Trafalgar;" - both say that they were painted in 1807.

Clearly, this article shouldn't contain both of them - and one should probably be deleted from WikiCommons. So which one is the mirror image? I can't see any writing or an artist's signature to give it away. Both were uploaded by User:Rama

Sade Baderinwa

Folasade Olayinka Baderinwa (born April 14, 1969), known professionally as Sade Baderinwa, is an American broadcast journalist. Since 2003, she has been a news anchor at WABC-TV, the ABC flagship station in New York, and currently co-anchors the weekday 5 p.m. and 11 p.m. newscasts of Eyewitness News with Bill Ritter.

Early life and education
Baderinwa was born to a Nigerian father and a German mother. At age seven, her mother no longer took part in her life and her father returned to Africa, leaving her in the custody of a family friend. She was subsequently adopted in Baltimore by WBAL-TV anchor Edie House, whose parents also provided additional support. When Baderinwa was 12, her birth mother eventually took her in to live with her family in nearby Montgomery County. She has since continued to maintain contact with her biological parents, as well as with her adoptive family.

Baderinwa graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park's College of Agriculture and Natural Resources with a degree in agricultural business and resource economics.

Early career
Baderinwa began her career as a production assistant for ABC News' various programs, including This Week With David Brinkley, Nightline, World News Tonight, and News One. She went on to become a reporter trainee at WUSA-TV, the CBS affiliate in Washington, D.C., before becoming a reporter at WSLS-TV, the NBC affiliate in Roanoke, Virginia.

Baderinwa joined WBAL-TV, the NBC affiliate in Baltimore, in February 2000. There, she anchored the morning and noon newscasts and also hosted a weekly community affairs show.

2003–present: WABC-TV
In 2003, Baderinwa joined WABC-TV as a reporter and anchor for the station's noon newscast  before joining Diana Williams as co-anchor of the 5 p.m. newscast.

On the evening of July 23, 2004, while preparing a report on location outside of 257 Hudson Street in Hackensack, New Jersey about local flooding, she was struck by a hit and run driver who went through police lines, and was rendered unconscious following the collision. After undergoing multiple surgeries and months of physical therapy, Baderinwa returned on-air on December 13, 2004, but continued receiving physical therapy five times a week following her return. The driver in the collision was never caught.

On October 27, 2006, Baderinwa appeared on The View as a guest co-host.

In May 2011, Baderinwa became co-anchor of the 11 p.m. newscast with Bill Ritter, replacing Liz Cho, who vacated the slot to anchor the station's new 4 p.m newscast, which debuted after the end of The Oprah Winfrey Show.

She has also been a regular moderator at the United Nations' celebration of International Women's Day.

Treason Act 1351

The Treason Act 1351 (25 Edw. 3 Stat. 5. c. 2) is an Act of the Parliament of England wherethrough, according to William Blackstone, common law treason offences were enumerated and no new offences were, by statute, created. It is one of the earliest English statutes still in force, although it has been very significantly amended. It was extended to Ireland in 1495 and to Scotland in 1708. The Act was passed at Westminster in the Hilary term of 1351, in the 25th year of the reign of Edward III and was entitled "A Declaration which Offences shall be adjudged Treason". It was passed to clarify precisely what was treason, as the definition under common law had been expanded rapidly by the courts until its scope was controversially wide. The Act was last used to prosecute William Joyce in 1945 for collaborating with Germany in World War II.

The Act is still in force in the United Kingdom. It is also still in force in some former British colonies, including New South Wales. Like other laws of the time, it was written in Norman French.

The Act is the origin of the definition of treason in the United States (in Article III of the Constitution). Joseph Story wrote in his Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States that:

"they have adopted the very words of the Statute of Treason of Edward the Third; and thus by implication, in order to cut off at once all chances of arbitrary constructions, they have recognized the well-settled interpretation of these phrases in the administration of criminal law, which has prevailed for ages."

Origin
Until 1351 treason was defined by the common law. The king's judges gradually expanded the scope of treason under the pretext that any "assortment of royal power", by which was meant doing anything which only the king (or his officers) could legally do, was considered treason – even hunting deer in the king's forests. When in 1348, Sir John Gerberge of Royston was convicted of treason for falsely imprisoning William de Boletisford and taking his horse, until he paid him £90 (approximately ), the barons compelled Edward III to agree to an Act of Parliament to restrict the definition of treason to definite limits.

Joseph Story wrote: "This statute has ever since remained the pole star of English jurisprudence upon this subject." Although some of the treason statutes enacted between 1352 and 1640 lost their importance over time, notably those of Henry VIII regarding his supremacy, 25 Edw 3 was the law in force cited by judges during the reign of Charles I. When Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford was charged with High Treason his attorney argued "the statute ever makes the Treason", insisting Strafford had not committed Treason by the statute 25 Edw. 3. Despite an accusation of common law treason, since Treason by statute could not be proven, the House of Commons passed a Bill of Attainder against Stafford, and the earl was executed, over the objections of the king.

Content
The Act distinguished two varieties of treason: high treason and petty treason (or petit treason), the first being disloyalty to the Sovereign, and the second being disloyalty to a subject. The practical distinction was the consequence of being convicted: for a high treason, the penalty was death by hanging, drawing and quartering (for a man) or drawing and burning (for a woman), and the traitor's property would escheat to the Crown; in the case of a petty treason the penalty was drawing and hanging without quartering, or burning without drawing; and property escheated only to the traitor's immediate lord.

The forfeiture provisions were repealed by the Forfeiture Act 1870, and the penalty was reduced to life imprisonment by the Crime and Disorder Act 1998.

A person was guilty of high treason under the Act if they:

 * "compassed or imagined" (i.e. planned; the original Norman French is "fait compasser ou ymaginer") the death of the king, his wife or his eldest son and heir (following the coming into force of the Succession to the Crown Act 2013 on 26 March 2015, this has effect as if the reference were to the eldest child and heir);
 * violated the king's companion, the king's eldest daughter if she was unmarried or the wife of the king's eldest son and heir (following the coming into force of the Succession to the Crown Act 2013, this has effect as if the reference were to the eldest son only if he is also the heir );
 * levied war against the king in his realm;
 * adhered to the king's enemies in his realm, giving them aid and comfort in his realm or elsewhere;
 * counterfeited the Great Seal or the Privy Seal (repealed and re-enacted in the Forgery Act 1830; death penalty abolished in 1832; reduced to felony in 1861 (except in Scotland ));
 * counterfeited English coinage or imported counterfeit English coinage (reduced to felony in 1832 );
 * killed the Chancellor, Treasurer (this office has long been vacant ), one of the king's justices (either of the King's Bench or the Common Pleas), a justice in eyre, an assize judge, and "all other Justices", while they are performing their offices. (This did not include the barons of the Exchequer. )

The penalty for counterfeiting coins was the same as for petty treason. The offence had previously been called petty treason, before the Act elevated it to high treason.

Under the Act petty treason was the murder of one's lawful superior: that is if a servant killed his master or his master's wife, a wife killed her husband or a clergyman killed his prelate. This offence was abolished in 1828.

The Act originally envisaged that further forms of treason would arise that would not be covered by the Act, so it legislated for this possibility. The words from "et pr ceo q plusurs auts cases de semblable treson" onwards have been translated as:

"And because that many other like Cases of Treason may happen in Time to come, which a Man cannot think nor declare at this present Time; it is accorded, That if any other Case, supposed Treason, which is not above specified, doth happen before any Justices, the Justices shall tarry without any going to Judgement of the Treason till the Cause be shewed and declared before the King and his Parliament, whether it ought to be judged Treason or other Felony."

The Act in Scotland
Following the union of England and Scotland by the Acts of Union 1707, Scotland continued to have its own treason laws until the Treason Act 1708 abolished Scottish treason law and extended English treason law to Scotland. This Act also made it treason to counterfeit the Great Seal of Scotland, and to kill the Scottish Lords of Session and Lords of Justiciary (in addition to forging the British – formerly English – seal, and killing English judges). However while in England and Ireland forgery of the seal of Great Britain ceased to be treason under the Forgery Act 1861, this Act did not apply to Scotland. Also, forging the Scottish seal is still treason in Scotland, but has not been treason in England or Ireland since 1861.

The 1351 Act still applies in Scotland today, and is a reserved matter which the Scottish Parliament has no power to modify.

Interpretation
Although the first kind of treason is described as "compassing", the offence does not consist of purely thinking. A subsequent clause which requires that an "overt act" must also be proven has been held by judges to apply to all kinds of treason.

Adhering to "enemies" does not include adhering to rebels or pirates.

During the trial of Roger Casement, who in 1916 was accused of collaborating with Germany during World War I, the defence argued that the Act applied only to activities carried out on British soil, while Casement had committed the acts of collaboration outside Britain. However, closer reading of the originally unpunctuated medieval document allowed for a broader interpretation, leading to the accusation by his supporters that Casement was "hanged by a comma". The court decided that a comma should be read in the text, crucially widening the sense so that "in the realm or elsewhere" meant where acts were done and not just where the "King's enemies" might be.

Repeals
The clauses about forgery and counterfeiting were repealed in 1830 and 1832. The clause beginning "et pr ceo q plusurs" was repealed by the Statute Law Revision Act 1948. The clause beginning "Et si per cas" (clarifying that robbery and kidnapping were not treason) was repealed by the Criminal Law Act 1967 and the Criminal Law Act (Northern Ireland) 1967.

The Act was repealed in Ireland on 16 May 1983, and in New Zealand on 1 January 1962.

Georgian conjugation

For non-native speakers, verb conjugation in Georgian presents a number of challenges since verbs in Georgian present numerous idiosyncracies and wide irregularities.

This article presupposes familiarity with Georgian grammar. In short, important factors to keep track of are the following:
 * 1) Georgian has four classes of verbs: transitive, intransitive, medial and indirect verbs. Each class has its own set of rules of conjugation for all screeves (counterpart of tense-aspect-moods). However, numerous verbs in Georgian do not conform to the conjugation of a single class (see irregular verbs below).
 * 2) Preverb. Although preverbs may have directional meanings, it is often diachronic patterns that indicate which verb takes which preverb. In addition, many verbs in Georgian can have a common verb stem. Since preverbs are absent in the present screeves, these verbs are identical in the present series, and differ in the rest of the series, because different preverbs are prefixed to the verb stem.
 * 3) Versions. The versioners in Georgian establish the language's polypersonalism. Although each version vowel has a specific meaning, most of the time, like preverbs, they have arbitrary meanings. Therefore, when learning a new verb, the version vowel the verb employs should also be learnt.
 * 4) Thematic suffix. Thematic suffixes are the stems that follow the root of the verb. They are used in the present and future screeves and are mostly (though not always) absent in the aorist and perfective screeves. Like preverbs and versions, thematic suffixes are not only arbitrary, but they also determine the conjugation in the aorist and perfective screeves for transitive (class 1) verbs. There are nine thematic suffixes in Georgian, and almost all the verbs have a specific thematic suffix. Again, when learning a new verb, the thematic suffix has to be learnt together with the other elements.
 * 5) In addition, one also has to take into account which suffixal nominal marker is to be used for each verb. This is, however, not arbitrary. The use of appropriate suffixal nominal marker depends on the thematic suffix (as stated above). For each thematic suffix, there are rules for whether the conjugation is strong or weak for the aorist series and the perfective series of screeves. These rules for each thematic suffix have to be mastered.
 * 6) Georgian has many irregular verbs. It is not possible to give an exact number, because there are different levels of irregularities. Some verbs have different verb roots in different screeves and, thus, are considered irregular. Some other verbs use the same verb root throughout all the screeves, but their conjugations deviate from the normal paradigm of the verb class that they belong to. In addition, some indirect verbs (class 4) are also considered irregular, because they only behave like indirect verbs in the present screeves, and behave like transitive verbs (class 1) in the rest of the screeves.

Class 1 (transitive verbs)

 * In the present and future sub-series, the subject is in the nominative case and both the direct and indirect objects are in the dative case. The subject is indicated by the v- set marker, while the object is indicated by the m- set marker.
 * In the aorist series, the subject is in the ergative case while the direct object is in the nominative case. Indirect object is in the dative case. The subject is indicated by the v- set marker, while the object is indicated by the m- set marker.
 * In the perfective series, the subject is in the dative case while the direct object is in the nominative case. Indirect object is usually indicated with the postposition -tvis (for). The subject is indicated by the m- set marker, while the object is indicated by the v- set marker.
 * In the present sub-series, the preverbs are absent, but the thematic suffixes are present.
 * In the future sub-series, the preverbs emerge, and the thematic suffixes remain.
 * In the aorist series, the preverbs emerge, and the thematic suffixes are absent (mostly).
 * In the perfective series, the preverbs emerge, and, if the thematic suffix is -eb, its presence depends on whether or not there is a vowel in the root of the verb. If there is a vowel, the thematic suffix remains, otherwise it is lost.

Here is a full conjugation of a verb with all persons in all screeves:

Verb root

შენ, šen; infinite form აშენება, ašeneba (to build)

Present subseries

The thematic suffix -eb is present, but without the preverb:

Future subseries

The preverb a- emerges:

Aorist series

The preverb is present; the thematic suffix is lost:

Perfective series

The preverb is present; the thematic suffix is present (due to vowel in root). N.B. subject is marked with the m- set, and the verb form here assumes a 3rd person singular direct object:

Notes

¹ The imperfective screeve of class 1 verbs always takes the strong suffixal nominal marker -i

² The present subjunctive screeve of class 1 verbs always takes the weak suffixal nominal marker -e

³ Class 1 verbs which take the weak suffixal nominal marker in the aorist screeve, take the -o- nominal marker in the optative screeve, and verbs which take the strong suffixal nominal marker in the aorist screeve, take the -a- nominal marker in the optative screeve.

† The perfective screeve of class 1 verbs always uses the -i- versioner.

‡ The pluperfect and the perfect subjunctive screeves of class 1 verbs always employ the -e- versioner.

Class 2 (intransitive verbs)

 * In class 2 verbs, the subject is in the nominative case for all series, using the v- set marker. Indirect objects (the benefactor or possessive) are indicated with the m- set marker.
 * The pattern of preverbs and thematic suffixes is generally the same as with class 1 verbs, except in the perfective series.
 * Almost all intransitives utilise the thematic suffix -eb in formation. Additionally, intransitives may use formational affixes: resulting in a total of three types of formation pattern in intransitives:
 * 1) prefixal: i- appears immediately before the verb root
 * 2) suffixal: -d appears immediately after the verb root
 * 3) markerless: no affixes appear

Below is a full conjugation of an intransitive verb:

Verb root

ბად, bad; infinite form დაბადება, dabadeba (to be born)

This verb exhibits the prefixal intransitive pattern; ი-, i- is placed immediately before the verb root in all series apart from the perfective.

Present subseries

The thematic suffix -eb is present, without the preverb:

Future subseries

The preverb da- emerges:

Aorist series

The preverb is present; the thematic suffix is lost:

Perfective series

Formation comprises the past participle (da-(v)-bad-eb-ul-i), followed by a form of the copula:

Class 3 (medial verbs)

 * These verbs have the same case marking as class 1 verbs (i.e. aorist series - ergative-nominative; present/future series - nominative-dative; perfective series - dative-nominative), the difference being that they describe intransitive activities: verbs expressing movement, sound and weather are found in this category.
 * Therefore, many class 3 verbs do not take a direct object; however some may (e.g. tamašob - to play), whilst others take an obligatory direct object (e.g. q̇idulob - to buy).
 * Almost all medials form the future/aorist in the same, very regular, way, outlined below.

Full conjugation follows:

Verb root

თამაშ, tamaš; infinite form თამაშობა, tamašoba (to play)

Present subseries

The thematic suffix -ob is present:

Future subseries

A type of preverb i- emerges, in combination with the thematic suffix -eb which replaces -ob (or any thematic suffix):

Aorist series

Based on the future form with prefix, but with the loss of the thematic suffix:

Perfect series

There is no preverb or thematic suffix; subjects are marked in the same way as in class 1 (i.e. with the m- set and appropriate formant vowels). The object (if present in context) is assumed to be 3rd person singular. N.B in this series, for some unknown reason, all screeves allow an optional -n- directly after the stem.

Class 4 (indirect or 'inversion' verbs)

 * This class of verb is known as indirect or 'inverted' as it marks the logical subject with the indirect object marker set (m- set) and the direct object with the subject marker set (v- set). Nouns are declined in agreement: the logical subject is in the dative, and object in the nominative (or sometimes genitive, as in gogo-s (dat.) ʒaɣl-is (gen.) e-šin-i-a - the girl is afraid of the dog).
 * Verbs in this class denote feelings, sensations and endurant states of being (see also stative verbs), including verbs such as q̇av - to have (X, animate), kv - to have (X, inanimate) q̇var - to love and nd - to want.
 * Class 4 verbs also include 'desideratives' (verbs of desiring), created using the circumfix e-…-eb (compare ceḳv-av-s 'he dances' and e-ceḳv-eb-a 'he feels like dancing').

The verb paradigm follows. For simplicity, the verb form always assumes a 3rd person singular object:

Verb root

ყვარ, q̇var - to love

Present subseries

The verb takes the 'subjective' versioniser i- in the 1st and 2nd persons, 'objective' u- in the 3rd person. Note the ending of the 2nd and 3rd person plural (subject) marker -t takes precedence over the 3rd person singular (object) marker -s:

Future subseries

Here the verb forms its screeves by using a pre-radical vowel e-, and the thematic suffix -eb, in a way similar to the class 2 verbs (but without the preverb):

Aorist series

Since the verb does not have an aorist form, and uses the imperfect instead (like many other class 4 verbs), the aorist forms of šegiq̇vardeba 'you'll fall in love with X' are substituted:

Perfect series

This series is not especially consistent: the perfect screeve uses versionisers before the root, whereas the pluperfect and perfect subjunctive screeves take no versioniser. The series forms using the suffix -eb, with -od as a further suffix in the pluperfect and perfect subjunctive screeves.

N.B. It is important to bear in mind that each verb form given in the tables has a further five forms corresponding to the 1st and 2nd person singular direct objects, and the 1st, 2nd and 3rd person plural direct objects, giving a theoretical total of 396 bi-personal forms! In practice however these forms are not always distinct (for example the plurality of the 3rd person is not always present in the form). For further discussion, see 'Direct and indirect objects'.

Direct and indirect objects

 * The verb -c̣er- (წერ), "to write," (transitive verb)
 * Simplest, we have: v-c̣er (ვწერ), ("I am writing (it)") and c̣er-s (წერს), ("he/she is writing (it)").
 * Changing the version, the grammatical feature indicated by the versioner/version vowel, changes the role of the indirect object: v-c̣er is in the neutral version, which is the default version for most Class I verbs, and is indicated either by a zero marker or an -a- versioner, depending on the verb. In the objective version (which for Class I verbs usually changes the role of the indirect object to that of benefactor of the action or possessor of the direct object), the version vowel is -i- for 1st and 2nd person indirect objects and -u- for 3rd person indirect objects. Therefore, we have v-u-c̣er (ვუწერ) for "I am writing it for/on behalf of him/her".
 * In order to say "I am writing to you (singular)", we have to remember that you is the indirect object in this sentence. As stated in the verbal system, verbs which employ the v- set marker to indicate the subject, use the m- set marker to indicate the direct or the indirect object. Looking at the table of the m- set marker, we see that the prefixal nominal marker for the second person singular is g-. Therefore, "I am writing to you (singular) in Georgian is g-c̣er (გწერ). If we want to say, "I am writing to you (plural)", then we have g-c̣er-t (გწერთ).
 * Note, however, that some ambiguities arise, as the verb encapsulates the indirect object. While g-c̣er-t (გწერთ) means "I am writing to you (plural)," it could also mean "he/she is writing to you (plural). This is because the plural indirect object "you (plural)" requires both the prefixal nominal marker g- and the plural marker -t. The rule in Georgian is that, if a consonant plural marker (-t) is to be attached to the verb complex, another suffixal consonant nominal marker has to be dropped. For example, one cannot say g-c̣er-s-t ("he/she is writing to you (plural)") in Georgian. Therefore, the verb, in cases like this, fails to indicate whether the performer of the action is the first person or the third person. One, then, has to consider the role of the verb in the entire sentence to understand the exact meaning of the verb.
 * The verb -nd- (ნდ), "to want," belongs to indirect verb class (class 4).
 * Simplest, we have m-i-nd-a (მინდა), "I want," and u-nd-a (უნდა), "he/she wants."
 * When we want to construct "he wants me," me is the direct object. Since the verb "want" requires the m- set marker for the subject, it requires the v- set for the object (this is exactly the opposite in verb "write"). To do this, we need to put both the letter v- at the beginning of the verb and we need to add the auxiliary verb -var to the end (as auxiliary verbs are needed in the present and perfective screeves of indirect verbs when the direct object is the first or the second person). Therefore, we have v-u-nd-i-var (ვუნდივარ). The letter -u- right after the letter v- establishes the meaning that it is the third person who wants. To say, "you want me", we then have g-i-nd-i-var (გინდივარ). Here, the -i- means that it is the second person who wants.
 * Note that "he/she wants me" and "they want me" are both the same in Georgian: v-u-nd-i-var (ვუნდივარ). If one says, v-u-nd-i-var-t (ვუნდივართ), this rather means "he/she wants us." This is because the plurality of the subject is not reflected in the verbs that use the m- set marker when the direct object is either the first or the second person.
 * The Georgian language has perhaps one of the most complicated plural subject-verb and object-verb agreement systems. Even native speakers do not seem to have a consensus on the reflection of plurality to the verb. One general rule is that in the verbs that employ the v- set nominal marker, the priority of indicating the plurality of the subject is higher than that of the object. In the verbs that use the m- set nominal marker, this is reversed (just like everything else is reversed). That is why in the example of v-u-nd-i-var-t (ვუნდივართ) the plural marker -t at the end refers to the plurality of the object rather than the plurality of the subject.

Preverbs
Preverbs in Georgian can either add directionality to a verb, or can change the meaning of the verb entirely. It is also important to use the appropriate versioner in each case.

Since preverbs are absent in the present series, it is important to consider the role of the verb in the context of the entire sentence as the verb by itself could convey any meaning in the present screeves.

 * Root gh (ღ):
 * a-gh-eb-a (აღება), versioner: -i — "raise, lift up" (generally: upward motion)
 * amo-gh-eb-a (ამოღება), versioner: -i — "take out"
 * ga-gh-eb-a (გაღება), versioner: -a — "open"

 * šemo-gh-eb-a (შემოღება), versioner: -i — "introduce"
 * c̣amo-gh-eb-a (წამოღება), versioner: -u — "carry"
 * Root q̇r- (ყრ):
 * a-q̇r-a (აყრა), versioner: -i — "put forth, throw upward"
 * ga-q̇r-a (გაყრა), versioner: -u — "stick, put something through"
 * gada-q̇r-a (გადაყრა), versioner: none — "throw down" (generally: downward motion)

 * da-: da-c̣er-a (დაწერა) — "write"

40mm grenade
nonsense/borders on dicdef; nothink links here Avriette 00:54, May 30, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Perfectly good stub on a valid topic that I'm sure that the military weaponry fans will have a lot of fun expanding.  It may require a move later, but since I don't know the official military designation of it, it's fine here.  -- Un  focused  03:41, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
 * K I think this could be expanded. Fawcett5 04:06, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I think it's expandable. Drop of a note at a Weapons WikiProject and wait a bit. Mgm|(talk) 07:07, May 30, 2005 (UTC)
 * I suppose I forgot to mention, I'm one of those gun-nut types. Anything that can be said about the 40mm grenade can be said on M203, which is the only weapon in fact chambered for it. In fact, that is like me saying the previous sentence, and providing a link off to chamber indicating that a chamber is where the munition is placed. It just doesn't make sense. Avriette 16:04, May 30, 2005 (UTC)
 * I added ten additional weapons that use this caliber grenade round. The M203 is not the only weapon chambered for this round.  -- Un  focused  03:17, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep - Per what Mgm said -CunningLinguist 08:55, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep --- A classic example of how a really bad article can become a really useful stub. The anonymous author contributed only a brief description that relates the 40mm grenade to the M203 and the US military, which suggests that this ammunition isn't important outside those contexts. But a particular kind of ammunition is worth documenting separately if it's used in a wide variety of weapons -- and a little googling reveals this to be the case. Isaac R 17:14, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep — standard munition, widely used. — RJH 19:33, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. Halibutt 22:02, May 30, 2005 (UTC)
 * keep and expand UkPaolo 22:13, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable Violence. Klonimus 07:38, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep revised article and mark for further expansion. Notable and widespread implement of inflicting death and injury.  Barno 19:40, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Grenade. There is nothing sufficiently notable about particular brands of modern grenade to warrent seperate articles.     16:20, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Sampler

What belongs on this page
Instead of having a reversion way lets's talk about our difference of opinion and see if we can come up with a comprimise. As I see it, a dab page is to help you find the real articles, not to hold material of their own. It's a signpost, not an anthology. You don't use them for dictionary definitions, because those don't even belong on Wikipedia. You don't use them to duplicate material in articles, because that makes Wikipedia hard to maintain and the dab pages hard to navigate.. And you don't use them to hold material that isn't in any article: you move the material to a regular article; if no existing article article is appropriate, then you create a new one. Isaac R 00:56, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Mercury is the example from WP:D. This page has more than a list of articles as it has a short description to help people understand what each one is.  "Sampler quilt" means absolutely nothing to me but "In a sampler quilt, each quilt block is constructed using a different pattern. The article Pressed flower craft shows a sampler made using real flowers and petals." tells me exactly what it is.  Simplying linking to quilt requires me to go to the page and find out what a sampler quilt is, but alas! there's nothing on quilt that describes what a sampler quilt is.

 * Additionally, for the information theory sampler. It is *not* a dictionary defition.  The content of that "sampler" is contained in sample (signal).  The short description is sufficient to point someone to sample (signal), where more information is at.

 * Further more, from WP:D:

 * To let the reader choose between different pages that might reside under the same title. ... Ask yourself: When a reader enters this term and pushes "Go", would they expect to view any of the articles listed on the disambiguation page?

 * Do I expect to see something about the inf. theory sampler on sampler? You betcha!  This one also falls under the jargon exception of not using dictionary definitions.

 * Deleting the inf. theory sampler is unacceptable because people would expect to find it on sampler. Boiling this dab page to nothing but a list is unacceptable as the model dab page show (and WP:D stipulates it is perfectly acceptable to have short descriptions and I would call the 1-2 sentences "short").  As it currently stands, you were deleting valuable information from wikipedia and that's not acceptable, ergo my revert. Cburnett 11:44, May 31, 2005 (UTC)

Breaking it down
I'm kind of at a loss here. There's a lot of little issues and at least one important misunderstanding. Rather than try to untangle them all, I'm just going to go through the changes I made one by one, and explain why I made each one, and try to respond to your comments as I go. This is the dicdef I was referring to. I think it belongs on Wiktionary, and nowhere else. Maybe you could make a case for it as a stub (I'm skeptical), but even then you'd want it in a separate article, not embedded in a dab page. Although this links sampler (musical instrument), it's also a micro-article. I think that's bad: it's hard-to-maintain duplicate material. And the extra explanation does not help the reader find their way to the article -- it actually makes it harder. So I pared it down to That tells the reader just enough for them to know whether that's the article they want. And isn't that what a dab page is for?
 * In general, a sampler is any broadly representative cross-section of some collection; for instance, food  products are sometimes packaged in samplers containing a variety of  chocolates  or  beers.
 * In music, a sampler  is an electronic  musical instrument  that uses stored  audio  recordings called  samples .
 * A sound sampler, commonly used in music.

Here's the one that probably bothers you the most. I'm guessing this change motivated your revert: you felt that I gutted a particularly useful dab that happened to be your own contribution. So I better express myself carefully.
 * In information theory, a sampler is a device that  samples  a  continuous signal  and will result in a  discrete signal  if all dimensions are sampled.

First off, the misunderstanding: I didn't edit this entry because it was a dicdef. As you point out, a dicdef is perfectly fine if you have to define some jargon in order to make the dab entry clear.

The question is, does the dicdef make anything clearer? In my opinion, it makes it harder for the reader to figure out whether this is the link s/he wants. You've got to parse a pretty complicated sentence that provides a lot more context than you need. And, as with the previous sampler (musical instrument) entry, it's redundant material that needs to be in the article itself. So I pared it down to A signal sampler, used to digitize  continuous signals. Maybe a little too spare? I can see that maybe I should have retained your mention of signal theory. But I balk at a full-fledged dicdef. Maybe they're useful on some dab pages, but they're not mandatory, not even for jargon.

I haven't covered all my changes, but that's probably enough to help you understand what I was trying to do. Let's hear your response. Isaac R 03:28, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'll just run down the list then:
 * I see no harm in a general dicdef that encompases all the dab links. I'd actually like to see this reduced down to the lead-in for this dab page.
 * Sampler (musical instrument) is a micro-article??????????? It's a 7K article!

Finally, the inf theory sampler: Cburnett 15:54, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * This was not the reason I reverted, the real reason is that you were being way too much of deletionist.
 * I disagree that it's too much.
 * Your pared down version is technically incorrect, which says to me that "my" definition is warranted s
 * The link ( signal sampler ) does not link to where you think it would and that's generally frowned upon. It should be: signal sampler.
 * If it requires rewording so the laymen understands it better, fine, but that's the wrong way.

 * This is going nowhere. Frankly, you're not being very constructive. You start out by summarily reversing all my edits. Even though I was really offened by that action (it says, in effect, "you're full of it, you don't know what you're doing"), I kept my resentment to myself, because I wanted to work with you to come up with an editing strategy we could both live with. But you don't want to work with me, you just want to tell me that my work is unacceptable.

 * Your comments both to me and other editors assume that you're the only one who really understands how dab pages are supposed to work. That's not going to fly.

 * Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to make another stab at editing Sampler and do my best to address your concerns. If you have issues with my work, you can make constructive suggestions -- by which I mean suggestions that go beyond "that's the wrong way". If you don't think I'm being responsive, you can ask for an arbitration. If you continue to reverse my edits, I'll be the one asking for arbitration. Isaac R 19:41, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Nowhere, eh? The current page is much better than your first attempt though you still have an incorrect definition for the inf theory/DSP sampler.  Digitization is sampling and quantizing.  As the def said, sampling converts a continuous signal to a discrete signal.

 * I guess I don't see reason to apologize to you. When you "pare" down a dab page to under 2 dozen words, change a correct definition to an incorrect one, utilize bad linking, and rely on quilt to define "sampler quilt" even though it doesn't.......and you want me to say your work is acceptable?  The old dab page is as I said it was in my summary: this is a *much* better disambig page.  I never said that I think I'm the only one who understands dab pages, but I certainly know that your first edit is not the way it should be for the reasons I just stated.

 * You are also *way* to quick to whip out arbitration. If necessary, the first step is mediation.  FYI. Cburnett 04:02, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)

Metro logo
Regarding the Metro logo that you recently tried working into the Washington Metro article, I like your line of thinking on that. I have a better version of said logo somewhere, and I'll have to look for it. I think it might fit better on the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority article rather than the Washington Metro article, though, because that logo is used across the board for the whole organization, and not just on the rail system.

Either way, though, I think we can definitely work that logo in somewhere, and I think it will be a valuable addition wherever it ultimately ends up. SchuminWeb (Talk) 03:04, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Singapore/Maps

The following maps were originally prepared for WikiProject Singaporean places. However, the project has since become inactive and was merged into WikiProject Singapore on 5 August 2020.

Right now, these images are of high resolutions for drafting purposes. These will be reduced to smaller size, before using in articles.

Outline of Singapore

 * A1) (New) Outline showing existing coastline.

 * A2) (New) Outline showing existing coastline. There is a slight difference between this and Map A1 at the Changi area.

 * A3) Outline showing old coastline

 * A4) Alternative outline, (URA concept plan 2001), include planned reclamation land.

 * A5) Alternative outline, (earlier URA concept plan 1991)

Map of Planning areas

 * D1) (New) Map with overlay of region boundaries according to Urban Redevelopment Authority planning area. This map is still under review and subject to error-correction. Hence, it is not ready for use. Any suggestion and correction is welcomed in the discussion page or in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Singaporean places

 * D2) (New) Planning areas are divided into 5 main regions and 2 water catchment areas.

 * D3) Map with regional labels. Based on old coastline.

Locator map for URA planning area (prototype)

 * E1) (New) Locator map of Ang Mo Kio Planning Area, Singapore. The proposed image width is 300 pixels. When creating the locator map, it is important to start with a high-resolution map first (e.g. Figure D1). Use any graphic software to highlight the region using "fill" operation. When reducing the map size to 300-pixel width, use an appropriate resampling filtering method that has smoothing to achieve anti-aliasing effect. Always save the map in png format before uploading.

 * E1) (New) Locator map of Sengkang, Singapore.

 * E2) Another locator map of Ang Mo Kio Planning Area, Singapore.

Transport

 * F1) Expressways of Singapore

Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks

'Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks, or Jakers' in Europe, is an animated children's television series. The series was broadcast on PBS Kids in the United States, and on CBBC and CBeebies in the United Kingdom. It was also broadcast in Australia on ABC Kids. The series ran for three seasons and 52 episodes total from September 7, 2003, to January 23, 2007, with reruns airing through August 31, 2008. Reruns aired on the Qubo television network from June 30, 2012 to March 26, 2017.

The show chronicles the boyhood adventures of Piggley Winks, an anthropomorphic pig from Ireland, and how he relates these stories to his grandchildren as a grandfather in the modern day. Many of the stories takes place on the Winks family's farm, Raloo Farm, located in the village of Tara. The word "jakers" was originally a euphemism for "Jesus" in much of Ireland during the 1950s and 1960s, and was an exclamation of surprise, delight, dismay, or alarm. Piggley and his father exclusively use it to express their delight when they discover something on their adventures. Notably, the show contains voiceover work by the actors Joan Rivers and Mel Brooks.

Plot
Jakers! takes place in two different settings, in two different time periods.

In the present time (the frame story), Piggley Winks lives in the United States (or Great Britain, according to different versions) and tells stories of his childhood in a rural area in the rural south of Ireland to his three grandchildren. In flashbacks, he is seen as a child, playing with his friends and going to school in the mid-1950s. Most of the main characters are anthropomorphic animals—including Piggley and his family, who are all pigs. However, there are normal, non-anthropomorphic animals in the show as well.

Past
Piggley Winks lived with his parents Pádraig and Elly and his younger sister Molly at Raloo Farm in Ireland during the 1950s. His best friends are Dannan O'Mallard, a duck who lives in a hut by a pond with her rarely seen grandmother, and Fernando "Ferny" Toro, a young bull who lives with his widowed father, the Spanish blacksmith Don Toro in the village of Tara. Piggley's rival is the main antagonist, Hector McBadger.

Piggley lives his everyday life on the farm as a normal child, going to school, helping his parents, taking care of his sister, and having adventures, almost always followed by his friends. He has always been interested in stories and legends, and his fertile mind and mischievous spirit put him in many unpredictable situations, like believing fairies turned Ferny into a bug, trying to hatch a supposed dragon's egg, using the Salmon of Knowledge to pass the school exam, and even trying to capture the legendary Fir Darrig.

Each story also features a subplot featuring a sheep named Wiley (voiced by Mel Brooks), who lives at Raloo Farm with his flock. As the only sheep in the flock who can talk, he believes he is their natural leader, and tries to get the other sheep to do all kinds of different things (singing, racing, playing sports, acting, etc.), with varying degrees of success. He is later assisted by his mate, a female sheep named Shirley.

A running gag on the show is that Wiley's subplot and Piggley's plot would collide (e.g. in "Sheep on the Loose", Wiley runs away and Piggley, as the shepherd, tries to find him).

CommonSenseMedia explains that at the end of each episode there is a live-action segment, in which "group of children talk about their own experiences and feelings, reflecting on what the episode has been about".

Present
An elderly Piggley lives with his daughter Ciara and her three children, the twins Seán and Séamus, and their older sister Meg. Whenever the children have an issue, Piggley tells them one of his childhood stories as a moral lesson. The grandchildren are able to identify exaggerations in his stories.

The original American accents of Ciara and her children were dubbed with English accents for broadcast in the United Kingdom.

Development
Jakers! was originally conceived by Denise Fitzpatrick based on her experiences on a farm as a young girl in rural Ireland. The original name for her character and the show she planned to adapt him to was originally titled Piggley Pooh, which caused a cease and desist letter by The Walt Disney Company due to the planned show sharing the same name as the Winnie the Pooh series. Despite countersuing and having the European Court side with the Fitzpatrick's, their lawyer decided that changing the name of the show and character would be better to avoid future copyright issues. Eventually, this led to Piggley Pooh becoming Piggley Winks.

After the name change, production on the show began in March 2002, under the title of The Curley Tales of Piggley Winks. Denise's husband, Frances, helped produce the show through his company, Entara, while the show was executively produced by Mike Young and animated by his studio Mike Young Productions, which at the time was handling international distribution for the series. Notably, the show was rendered in high definition, being the first cartoon to do so at the time.

Broadcast
''Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks'' was shown on CBeebies and CBBC in United Kingdom from 2004 up until early 2011. It first aired in the United Kingdom on the CBBC Channel on September 6, 2004, as part of the short lived Animadness block, and later was repeated on CBeebies from February 13, 2006, on the BBC One strand at 3:25pm, but it didn't air on the CBeebies Channel until March 19, 2007, when the scheduling of CBeebies was changing, and Qubo, and PBS Kids, and PBS Kids Sprout in United States.

9 Story Media Group distributes the series.

Reruns on PBS Kids continued to air until August 31, 2008, and PBS Kids Sprout aired this series in 2005, but was taken off after July 3, 2008.

Univision's Planeta U carried the show as part of the block's inaugural lineup from its launch on April 5, 2008, to August 28, 2010.

DVD releases
DVD releases of the series were released by Paramount Home Entertainment.

Critical response
CommonSenseMedia gave the show a rating of 4 stars out of 5, commenting "The animation is lovely, the characters are amusing and cute, and the lessons are so gently presented that it really is a pleasure to learn them."

Chris Perry (American football)

Raymond Christopher Perry (born December 27, 1981) is a former American football running back who played for five seasons in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at the University of Michigan, receiving consensus All-American honors in 2003. He was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals in the first round of the 2004 NFL draft, and played his entire NFL career for the Bengals.

Early life
Perry was born in Advance, North Carolina. He attended Fork Union Military Academy in Fork Union, Virginia, where he helped his team win multiple VISFA State Championships.

College career
Perry attended the University of Michigan, where he played for coach Lloyd Carr's Michigan Wolverines football team from 2000 to 2003. As a senior in 2003, he rushed for 1,674 yards and 18 touchdowns and finished fourth in Heisman Trophy voting and fourth in Michigan annals for rushing yards in a season. Perry was recognized as a consensus All-American, and also received the Doak Walker Award, given to the nation's top running back, was the Big Ten Conference rushing champion, and was named the Big Ten Conference MVP.

Perry set a Michigan game record with 51 carries in a 27–20 win over Michigan State on November 1, 2003. He finished his career at Michigan fifth on the school's career rushing list with 3,696 yards and third in rushing touchdowns with 39.

Professional career
Perry was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals in the first round (26th overall) in the 2004 NFL Draft. He made his NFL debut at the Pittsburgh Steelers on October 3, but he played only two games in his rookie season with the Bengals due to injuries, starting neither of them. He ran the ball twice, gaining 1 yard, with a long of 1 yard and no touchdowns, for an average of 0.5 yds/carry. However, he caught three receptions for 33 yards, with a long of 13 yards and no touchdowns, for an average of 11 yds/reception. He never fumbled.

Perry played in the 2005 season, complementing Pro Bowl running back Rudi Johnson. He played in 14 games, only starting two, finishing the 2005 season with 279 rushing yards along with 51 receptions for 328 yards and two touchdowns. His 51 receptions were the most by a Bengals running back in one season since James Brooks caught 54 passes in 1986.

Perry fractured his leg in the 11th game of the 2006 season, ending his season. On August 27, 2008, the Bengals cut running back Rudi Johnson from the team, solidifying Perry as the starter for the 2008 season. Perry was released after the season on April 27, 2009.

Richard Webster, 1st Viscount Alverstone

Richard Everard Webster, 1st Viscount Alverstone, (22 December 1842 – 15 December 1915) was a British barrister, politician and judge who served in many high political and judicial offices.

Background and education
Webster was the second son of Thomas Webster QC. He was educated at King's College School and Charterhouse, and Trinity College, Cambridge. He was well known as an athlete in his earlier years, having represented his university in the first Inter-Varsity steeplechase and as a runner. As such, the Cambridge University Alverstone Club is named in his honour, and makes a pilgrimage to Alverstone, Isle of Wight, every 4 years.

His interest in cricket and foot-racing was maintained in later life. He refereed races for the early Amateur Athletic Club and set rules for long jump and shot put. He was President of Surrey County Cricket Club from 1895 until his death, and of the Marylebone Cricket Club in 1903.

Legal, judicial and political career
Webster was called to the bar in 1868, and became QC only ten years afterwards. His practice was chiefly in commercial, railway and patent cases until (June 1885) he was appointed Attorney-General in the Conservative Government in the exceptional circumstances of never having been Solicitor-general, and not at the time occupying a seat in parliament. As Attorney General Webster was prosecuting in the Eliza Armstrong case, in the autumn of 1885, a major scandal widely reported in the press, involving a child supposedly bought for prostitution for the purpose of exposing the evils of white slavery. It led to the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1885. He was elected for Launceston in the following month, and in November exchanged this seat for the Isle of Wight, which he continued to represent until his elevation to the House of Lords. Except under the brief Gladstone administration of 1886, and the Gladstone-Rosebery cabinet of 1892–1895, Sir Richard Webster was Attorney-General from 1885 to 1900.

In 1890 he was leading counsel for The Times in the Parnell inquiry; in 1893 he represented Great Britain in the Bering Sea arbitration; in 1898 he discharged the same function in the matter of the boundary between British Guiana and Venezuela.

In the House of Commons, and outside it, his political career was prominently associated with church work; and his speeches were distinguished for gravity and earnestness. In July 1885, he was made a Knight Bachelor. In December 1893, he was appointed to the Order of St Michael and St George as a Knight Grand Cross. In January 1900 he was created a Baronet, but in May the same year succeeded Sir Nathaniel Lindley as Master of the Rolls, being raised to the peerage as Baron Alverstone, of Alverstone in the County of Southampton and sworn of the Privy Council, and in October of the same year he was elevated to the office of Lord Chief Justice upon the death of Lord Russell of Killowen. He presided over some notable trials of the era including Hawley Harvey Crippen. Although popular, he was not considered an outstanding judge; one colleague wrote after his death that "the reports will be searched in vain for judgments of his that are valuable". He received the honorary degree Doctor of Laws (LL.D.) from the University of Edinburgh in April 1902, and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society later the same year. In late 1902 he was in South Africa as part of a commission looking into the use of martial law sentences during the Second Boer War.

In 1903 during the Alaska boundary dispute he was one of the members of the Boundary Commission. Against the wishes of the Canadians it was his swing vote that settled the matter, roughly splitting the disputed territory. As a result, he became extremely unpopular in Canada.

He retired in 1913, and was created Viscount Alverstone, of Alverstone, Isle of Wight in the County of Southampton.

In 1914, Webster published Recollections of Bar and Bench.

Personal life
Webster married in 1872 Louisa Mary Calthrop, daughter of William Charles Calthrop. She died in March 1877. They had one son and one daughter. Their only son, the Honourable Arthur Harold Webster (1874–1902) died childless in August 1902, aged 28, after an operation for appendicitis. The Arthur Webster Hospital, opened in 1905, was presented to the town of Shanklin, Isle of Wight by Lord Alverstone in memory of his son. The building is still in use as the Arthur Webster Clinic.

He commissioned the architect Edward Blakeway I'Anson to build Winterfold House near Cranleigh in the Surrey Hills in 1886, in a classic late Victorian style, and laid out grounds with flowering trees and shrubs.

Lord Alverstone died at Cranleigh, Surrey, on 15 December 1915, aged 72 and was buried at West Norwood Cemetery under a Celtic cross. His peerages became extinct on his death.

Canadian Newsmaker of the Year

The Canadian Newsmaker of the Year is a title awarded by The Canadian Press (CP) annually since 1946, based on a survey of editors and broadcasters across the country on which Canadian has had the most influence on the news in a given year.

Criteria
Canadian historian Chad Gaffield stated that the practice of recognizing a newsmaker of the year was a return to the study of how history can be influenced by one person, rather than studying obscure people.

The honour is often granted to politicians. Pierre Trudeau holds the record for most wins, receiving the distinction for the 10th time in 2000, breaking a tie with Lester B. Pearson's nine wins. Though it is generally a positive acknowledgement, it is not guaranteed to be such. In 1999 a newsmaker of the century was chosen in place of a newsmaker of the year, with candidates having to meet the standard of "lasting significance". Voters gave a mix of compliments and criticisms to the winner, Pierre Trudeau, who responded by noting that he was "at once surprised and quite pleased with the information."

Benares – now also known as Varanasi – in the 1890s. This Hindu place of pilgrimage, on the banks of the River Ganges in India, was photographed in the 1890s by John Thomson. The burning wood smoke in the centre of the foreground is a reminder that it was, and still is, traditional for Hindus to cremate the dead. Even when the cremation takes place elsewhere, the relations of the dead person may travel long distances to scatter the ashes on the sacred River Ganges.

Christopher Williams (singer)

Christopher Lawrence Williams (born August 22, 1967) is an American singer and actor. Williams, who emerged during the late 1980s as a recording artist for Geffen Records, has scored many R&B hit singles, notably "Talk to Myself" (1989), "I'm Dreamin'" (1991) and "Every Little Thing U Do" (1993).

Music
The single "I'm Dreamin'", from the New Jack City soundtrack, became a No. 1 single on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks charts. After a six-year hiatus from recording music, he returned to the scene with Real Men Do on the indie label Renegade, in 2001. It received a glowing, flattering review in Ebony Magazine that summer. In between solo pursuits, he has been a contributor to Alex Bugnon's "As Promised", with a smooth-jazz version of Mary J. Blige's "All That I Can Say", featured on "In Your World" with Twista & The Speedknot Mobstas, a very up-tempo track on the soundtrack of "Doctor Dolittle", and on the Cafe Soul All-Stars CD with a single titled "Used to Be". Other soundtrack contributions include: "Tha 2 of Us" from the film Bulletproof, "Superhero" from the film Butter, "Boom and the Bang" (featuring R&B singer Monifah) and "I'm Yours" from the soundtrack of the stage play Men Cry in the Dark, and "Stranger in My Life" from the film Gunmen. Additional collaborations throughout his career include: "Round and Round" and "No Sunshine" from the CD Phuture Flava, "Love You More Than Words Can Say" from the CD Soul Blitz Allstars, "I Hope That We Can Be Together Soon" (a duet with Miki Howard), "You Are So Fine" (a duet with Shae), "Can't Wait to Be with You" from the DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince release Code Red, "I Wanna B Ure Lover" from the F.S. Effect release So Deep It's Bottomless, and "Sexual Healing" (a duet with reggae dancehall queen Patra). At the end of 1994, Williams was also part of the group Black Men United for the hit single "U Will Know" for the film Jason's Lyric and its movie's soundtrack album, along with El DeBarge, Al B. Sure!, Gerald Levert and others.

Acting
Williams appeared in the 1991 film New Jack City in the role of Kareem Akbar, one of Nino Brown's assistants. He also had a cameo appearance in the 1990s police drama New York Undercover as "the singer", performing "Stranger in My Life", in the episode titled "The Shooter". He had another cameo in Gunmen, starring Christopher Lambert and Mario Van Peebles, singing a song titled "Stranger in My Life".

He openly talked about his illness causing him to lose weight drastically down to 129 pounds and admitted that it was hard to pick up a fork to feed himself. He made a special cameo appearance in Washington, D.C., on November 12, 2022, during curtain call of the adapted stage play of New Jack City: Live on Stage and mentioned his previous update on his health when he was hospitalized weighing 137 pounds.
