Talk:Mr. Game & Watch

Question
why is he not coloured?
 * Because Game & Watches are black and white. Andre ( talk ) 13:59, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)
 * Not all of the Game & Watch games are black and white, but the monochromatic aspect of Mr. Game & Watch (except when he uses the Metal Cap) is indeed an allusion to the earliest Game & Watch games. Nidorino 07:23, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Oh jiz.
This article needs to be cleaned up. Thus, a cleanup tag is in order. Come on, the damned thing is half SSBM, half cartoon and nadda for the games he first appeared in! -- A Link to the Past 10:34, July 31, 2005 (UTC)

 * The way I see it, Mr. Game & Watch should just be reffered to the character in SSBM, not anything else. This article should probably be about the SSBM character, and G&W games should go in the Game & Watch article.  And the cartoons... uh, I had no idea Mr.Game & Watch ever appeared in a cartoon, plus I'll bet he wasn't even reffered to as Mr. Game & Watch back then.  The name of this cartoon isn't even given, and those credits seem to hog a lot of the article. --gakon5 22:05, August 9, 2005 (UTC)

 * Same here about him being created in SSBM. He made later appearances in Game & Watch Gallery 4 and cameos in games like WarioWare: Twisted!  And the Game & Watch series is not a series of games.  It's more of a generation of games, like NES games or SNES games.  He's an amalgamation of Game & Watch characters that looked alike (Ball protagonist, Parachute protagonist) and others that didn't (Greenhouse protagonist, Flagman protagonist). Nidorino 07:23, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I've tried to tidy things up a bit, but as for the cartoon, the name of the creator in a google search returns this page and no else. After wiki'ing the voice actors, I came across Peter Cullen, who apparently did voice acting in something called "Saturday Supercade," which featured other Nintendo characters, perhaps this cartoon was part of that? Mallocks 19:02, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Possibly, although G&W sort of went through a "rise and fall" sort of thing; like he pretty much disappeared in the gaming world after other consoles came out, and then he reappeared in SSBM. I don't think I ever reffered to the G&W guys as Nintendo characters, although they pretty much are.

 * Here's what we should do, maybe: start off with some stuff about the old G&W games, then a section on SSBM, and then a small section on the cartoon; un-tag the article and un-stub it.. and life is good. --gakon5 (talk)

 * Could we possibly, please, add in a slight note in the SSBM section on how the heck you play this guy? Not a strategy guide or anything, just a couple lines on his strengths and weaknesses like was done with the Link article. I'd do it, but the only thing I've been able to figure out is to do his trampoline bounce over and over again while drunkenly yelling "BOING" and laughing like a manic. --Myrkabah

CONS: Light Laggy moves Relatively slow running and walking speeds Several moves that are almost useless or highly situational Can be chain thrown Probably worst shield in the game -credit to kitfox

PROS: Powerful Throws are excellent set ups Great recovery Very cool Useful air attacks Great wavedash to make up for shield Good priority Decent CC, and CCC

oh ya can anyone tell me waht the heck his foward air attack is? what game did that come out of?

It's a credit card,& I don't know whare it came from.--DarkHero 23:51, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Not a credit card - it's a box from the Mario Bros. G&W game (Fryguy64 12:23, 20 June 2007 (UTC))

 * Actually It's a cement block, from Cement Factory. That ladder game. Fourange 23:47, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Woah... nevermind that. I found out it IS indeed a package from the Mario Bros. Game. I thought Fryguy meant, like.. a block. Sorry 'bout that. Fourange 17:35, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

To Do List
Here's what I think the article's layout should look like:

 * For the beginning, a part about G&W and the G&W character, and how he was given that name,
 * then a section on his character in SSBM, as well as his B button moves possibly,
 * then a small section on the cartoon he was in, minus the episode listing and credits. Tho we need a little more intel on this subject possibly.

Just my thoughts on how we might go about cleaning up this article. BTW I'ma remove that list of credits, and maybe the episode listing, as it just seems out of place. --gakon5 (talk)

Spoiler Warning
Is how to unlock Mr. G+W considered a spoiler? --gakon5 (talk)

That was only a rumor
It has not been officially confirmed that G&W will not be in SSBB. It is likely that rumor was false. Please do not put up any speculation like that in the future.

 * Thanks for saying that. I was just about to put something in the discussion about MG&W's removal. 70.111.78.133 01:18, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

SSBM moveset
We really don't need that. Wikipedia isn't a player's guide, and a list of button combos for a video game isn't encyclopedic. I didn't completely delete that section, but I hid it in comment tags... Powerslave (talk-contribs) 02:25, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Sausage or Bacon?
What does he throw when he performs Chef? Is it sausage, or bacon? I'm just wondering because someone recently changed the article to say bacon instead of sausages. -- Luigi Maniac  13:01, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Why would it matter? --91.105.38.122 09:56, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Well because as an encyclopedia as much as possible we try to present facts and this is one of the easy ones, it should be absolutely verifiable one way or the other. Mallocks 21:46, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
 * It's Sausage. It says so on his trophy in Melee. Plus, you can see where they connect if you pause in-game. Fourange 23:50, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Age?
I think Mr. Game & Watch is a year older than Mario (though Mario's age is pretty much unkown), since "Jumpman" was created a year after Mr. Game & Watch. In the actual article, would it be cool to say that he's around Mario's age for this reason? Fourange 18:18, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

 * I found out that Mr. Game & Watch is 27. Fourange 18:18, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

 * The character's age is pretty impossible to determine since we really don't know anything about him. Also, how did you "find out" that his age is 27? Jeff Silvers 16:56, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

The games his moves were based off of?
Could we put that in the article? I happen to have a list... Fourange 17:36, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
 * See SSBM moveset here in the talk page. It isn't really encyclopedic to list every single one of his moves, even if they do derive from Game & Watch games. Disaster KirbyTalk 17:43, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm not talking about listing his moves. I know this isn't a guide. I'm talking about listing the GAMES his moves were BASED off of. Fourange 18:17, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * What's the point of doing that? There's already a List of Game & Watch games on Wikipedia, so relisting the games that his moves are based off of would seem like trivial cruft, in my opinion. Disaster KirbyTalk 18:37, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Brawl status
Check out those little icons on the Brawl website for each update. Each corresponds to the icons in the game. Melee had 14 franchise icons, Ice Climbers are icon 14, Animal Crossing is 15, and there's one last icon spot open before 14, it being 13. This suggests to me that Game and Watch is returning, his being the last Melee franchise to need to return; however, it is obviously not solid enough for Wikipedia to go about saying "MR. GAME AND WATCH IS CONFIRMED GUYS". However, would this be notable enough to mention on the article, while still making it clear that this is not 100% confirmation? Evan1109 19:22, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Not really, since it is speculation. It's highly probable that it is true, but it's still speculation. Disaster KirbyTalk 19:33, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

 * King K. Rool has a bit about this (last time I checked, anyway.) Why shouldn't Mr. Game & Watch? Fourange 18:20, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Because it's speculation, which Wikipedia isn't supposed to have. Disaster KirbyTalk 18:37, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

That shield thing is wrong.
Z-Shielding fully covers him. Plus, as long as that competitive sidenote thing is there, that citation tag won't leave. Fourange 18:30, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Ah, but don't you see, it doesn't need a citation "since effective use of him against a skilled opponent often requires complex mind games." Sometimes I really wonder just who is editing this thing ... Anyway I think if it remains without citation for much longer I'll just remove it as it appears to be a magnet for additional unverifiable opinions. Mallocks 22:15, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Merge with Game & Watch
I believe that this article needs to be merged with the Game & Watch article. There is already a section about the character on this page, but it should be expanded using some more information from this article, as well as other information that anyone else might know of. The SSB data is not appropriate other than the mention that the character is part of the game and that he was first seen in that game (if that is indeed the case).

I believe that once these edits are complete, the page should be converted to a redirect, not deleted, so that others may more easily find this information. — OranL (talk) 09:15, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, I agree with the plan. Oh, and thanks for adding the merge thing for me. These darn PRODS don't work out much at all, do they? :P ZeroGiga (talk) 23:09, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I just prefer not to involve the administrators that usually handle PRODs, because they tend not to do anything but delete the article. This way, if more people are involved in getting the good information into the correct article, it isn't lost forever! — OranL (talk) 23:56, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Done. Please head over to the Game & Watch article to find the Mr. Game & Watch section. Feel more than free to edit this section, as I am not very knowledgeable on this subject. I have left many cite tags to let people know that most of this information is not referenced and needs someone who knows more about this subject. — OranL (talk) 20:15, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Meh, I don't like it. It's missing alot of things here. ZeroGiga (talk) 17:41, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Like what? Why didn't you add them? — OranL (talk) 19:58, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Nikolai Kuznetsov (spy)

Nikolai Ivanovich Kuznetsov (Николай Иванович Кузнецов; 27 July 1911 – 9 March 1944) was a Soviet intelligence agent and partisan who operated in Nazi-occupied Ukraine (Reichskommissariat Ukraine) during World War II and who personally killed six high-ranking German officials. His file is still not fully disclosed and will be held until 2025 in the FSB archives. It was not until 1990 that Kuznetsov was officially recognized as a NKVD agent. He used several pseudonyms during his intelligence operations: e.g. Rudolf Schmidt, Nikolai Vasilevitsh Grachev (Николай Васильевич Грачёв) and Oberleutnant Paul Siebert. Kuznetsov was posthumously awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union.

Biography
Kuznetsov was born into a peasant family of Russian ethnicity in the Yekaterinburgsky Uyezd of the Perm Governorate of the Russian Empire (present-day Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia). He studied forestry in a technical school and, after discovering his linguistic talents, learned the German, Esperanto, Polish, Ukrainian and Mordvinic languages (particularly Erzya language). In 1926, at age 15, Kuznetsov enrolled at Tyumen Agricultural College but did not finish and was forced to return home because of the death of his father. During that time Kuznetsov joined the ranks of the Komsomol. At home he enrolled in the local forestry college but in 1929 Kuznetsov was accused of having counter-revolutionary origins and excluded from Komsomol and the college. After moving in 1930 to Kudymkar (Komi-Permyak Autonomous Okrug) Kuznetsov was recruited by the local department of the OGPU. In 1932 he enrolled into Sverdlovsk Industrial Institute and continued to study German and other foreign languages.

In 1938 Kuznetsov moved to Moscow and joined the NKVD, his tasks included posing as a Volga German and collecting intelligence about German diplomats in Moscow.

When Germany invaded the Soviet Union Kuznetsov, at his own request, was sent to join Soviet partisan units in the Nazi-occupied Ukraine. In 1942, the same year he became a member of the Communist Party, he fought as a member of the guerrilla group "Victors", led by Dmitry Medvedev, in central and western Ukraine. Kuznetsov was in charge of several complex operations involving assassinations and kidnappings of high-ranking Nazi officials in the Rivne and Lviv regions, such as successful operations against the German-appointed chief judge of Ukraine, the vice-governor of Galicia, the adviser to the Reichskommissar of Ukraine, three German generals and others. Kuznetsov was also the first intelligence agent to uncover German plans to launch a massive tank attack in the Kursk region, and information about German V-2 rockets, as well as about Operation Long Jump, Hitler's alleged plan to assassinate the heads of the USSR, USA and Great Britain during the Tehran Conference. Kuznetsov was operating in Rivne (the capital of Reichskommissariat Ukraine) using the fake German identity of Oberleutnant Paul Siebert. It was Kuznetsov who obtained information about the location of Hitler's "Werwolf" headquarters, near the city of Vinnitsya.

According to a report submitted by Josef Witiska to Heinrich Müller (and cited by D. Medvedev in his memoir about Kuznetsov), "Paul Siebert" and his accomplices were detained and shot by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, which then informed SS-Obergruppenführer Hans-Adolf Prützmann about the incident. According to official Soviet version, Kuznetsov was killed in a firefight with members of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army near the city of Brody on 9 March 1944. In another version by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, Kuznetsov and his associates were detained in the village of Boratyn near Brody, dressed as German soldiers. To avoid being discovered, Kuznetsov blew himself up with a grenade.

Kuznetsov is currently buried in Lviv, Ukraine. Since 2003, several unsuccessful attempts have been made to rebury him in Russia. A 2007 attempt was stopped by the Russian Foreign Ministry, which claimed that "such a move would open a kind of Pandora’s box and give Ukrainian nationalists a reason to launch a campaign to transfer other graves of Soviet soldiers buried in Ukraine." A 2018 attempt was prevented by the Lviv authorities, who claimed that such a reburial could not be considered while Ukrainian prisoners were being held captive in Russia during an ongoing Russian military intervention in Ukraine.

Legacy
Nikolai Ivanovich Kuznetsov has been posthumously awarded the honorary title of Hero of the Soviet Union. Minor planet 2233 Kuznetsov, discovered in 1972 by Soviet astronomer Lyudmila Zhuravlyova, is named after him. Kuznetsovsk, a city in Volhynia, was named after the Soviet agent (renamed in 2016 to Varash conforming to a law prohibiting names of Communist origin).

Films about Kuznetsov

 * Strong with Spirit («Сильные духом»)
 * Special Operations Squad («Отряд специального назначения»)
 * Genius of the intelligence («Гений разведки»)
 * Saboteurs (2012) («Диверсанты (2012)»)

Kuznetsov's story was allegedly an inspiration for the Polish TV series More than Life at Stake and the Russian TV series Seventeen Moments of Spring, both of which narrated the exploits of agents who successfully infiltrated Nazi armed forces during World War II.

Kuznetsov's targets
Kuznetzov's main target, Nazi Party official Erich Koch, survived World War II and outlived his Soviet "nemesis", dying of old age in a Polish prison in 1986 at the age of 90.

 * On 20 September 1943: the head of the financial department of the Reichskommissariat Ukraine, Ministerialrat (councilor of the ministry) Hans Gehl, and the Inspector General of Commissariat of the Rovno region, Adolf Winter, shot in the street in Rivne.
 * On 15 November 1943: the chief of the Eastern Troops 740, Major General Max Iigen, abducted from his quarters in Rivne under the supervision and with the direct involvement of Kuznetsov. Along with Ilgen, Kuznetsov and his accomplices captured Paul Granau, driver of Gauleiter Erich Koch, who was an accidental witness. Both were executed shortly after interrogation.
 * On 16 November 1943: Senate president Oberfuhrer Alfred Funk, shot at the courthouse in Rovno.
 * On 9 February 1944: Deputy Governor of Galicia District, Otto Bauer, and his secretary Heinrich Schneider, shot outside their quarters in Lviv.

According to the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance Kuznetzov "carried out provocations against the Ukrainian liberation movement, as a result of which the Nazi invaders executed hostages".

Colonel Dmitry Medvedev, who oversaw Kuznetsov's activities, repeatedly attributes him discovery of a planned Nazi operation against the Tehran Conference of Allied leaders. However, this version is not accepted by historians due to apparent controversy. He also mentions occasional killing of other middle-ranked Nazi officers by Kuznetsov, of which the last victim, major Kanter of Feldgendarmerie, shot at the checkpoint while Kuznetsov was trying to escape from Lviv, is mentioned in the SS report about Kuznetsov's death.

Unsuccessful attempts

 * 20 April 1943 – Erich Koch
 * Summer 1943 – Erich Koch
 * 5 June 1943 – Alfred Rosenberg
 * 30 September 1943 – Paul Dargel

Robert Berger (mathematician)

Robert Berger (born 1938) is an applied mathematician, known for discovering the first aperiodic tiling using a set of 20,426 distinct tile shapes.

Contributions to tiling theory
The unexpected existence of aperiodic tilings, although not Berger's explicit construction of them, follows from another result proved by Berger: that the so-called domino problem is undecidable, disproving a conjecture of Hao Wang, Berger's advisor. The result is analogous to a 1962 construction used by Kahr, Moore, and Wang, to show that a more constrained version of the domino problem was undecidable.

Education and career
Berger did his undergraduate studies at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and studied applied physics at Harvard, earning a master's degree, before shifting to applied mathematics for his doctorate. Along with Hao Wang, Berger's other two doctoral committee members were Patrick Carl Fischer and Marvin Minsky. Later, he has worked in the Digital Integrated Circuits Group of the Lincoln Laboratory.

Publications
Berger's work on tiling was published as "The Undecidability of the Domino Problem" in the Memoirs of the AMS in 1966. This paper is essentially a reprint of Berger's 1964 dissertation at Harvard University.

In 2009, a paper by Berger and other Lincoln Laboratories researchers, "Wafer-scale 3D integration of InGaAs image sensors with Si readout circuits", won the best paper award at the IEEE International 3D System Integration Conference (3DIC). In 2010, a CMOS infrared imaging device with an analog-to-digital converter in each pixel, coinvented by Berger, was one of R&D Magazine's R&D 100 Award recipients.

The Elvin in this Super Show episode is a parody of Elvis, and is not Professor Gadd. I have the description of the episode from TV.com right here:

"Mario and Co have entered Sock Hop Land, where superstar Elvin Parsley has been frozen by Koopa, who's hanging out at a malt shop. When they go to rescue Elvin, Koopa kidnaps Princess yet again."

Travis Kvapil

Travis Wade Kvapil (born March 1, 1976) is an American professional stock car driver. He last competed part-time in the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series, driving the No. 1 Chevrolet Silverado for Beaver Motorsports.

He was the 2003 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series champion.

Early career
Kvapil grew up working on cars in his father's garage, and racing was a natural progression for the Wisconsin native. Kvapil began racing in 1992 at the age of 16 at Rockford Speedway, competing in the NASCAR Weekly Racing Series. He went on to win the American Short Tracker division track championship in 1994 at Rockford. In 1995, he moved up to super late models at Madison International Speedway, "Wisconsin's Fastest Half-Mile", and was named the track Rookie of the Year. He also became the track's Late Model Champion a year later in 1996. This honor made Kvapil the youngest to ever capture the title at the track at the age of 20.

Kvapil moved to the ARTGO Series, a Midwest asphalt short-track motor-racing touring series. He finished in the top-10 in points from 1998–2000.

2001–2004

In 2001, Kvapil made his debut in the Craftsman Truck Series driving for Addington Racing in the No. 60 CAT Rental Stores-sponsored Chevrolet. In his 21st start, Kvapil won his first Truck Series race in the Silverado 350 at Texas Motor Speedway. Kvapil's 18 Top 10's led him to finish fourth in the driver standings and win the Craftsman Truck Series Rookie of the Year. Kvapil also got to drive a race with powerhouse Richard Childress Racing at Kentucky in the Busch Series, but he ran poorly before flipping his car in a late crash.

In 2002, Kvapil managed to match his win total by winning the O'Reilly Auto Parts 200 at Memphis Motorsports Park. He finished the season with 14 Top 10's and finished ninth in the final driver points standings.

Funding issues at Addington caused Kvapil to switch to the No. 16 IWX MotorFreight-sponsored Chevrolet for Steve Coulter's Xpress Motorsports team in 2003. He won one race during the season at Bristol Motor Speedway in the O'Reilly 200 presented by Valvoline Maxlife. Kvapil finished the season with 22 Top 10's in 25 races (88 percent). Kvapil passed Brendan Gaughan and Ted Musgrave in points at the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Gaughan wrecked and Musgrave was black flagged during the race, giving the green flag to Kvapil as he was crowned the 2003 Craftsman Truck Series champion. He was recorded at 99.9 percent lap completion rate, only missing one lap throughout the 2003 season.

Prior to the start of the 2004 season, Kvapil began a partnership with Alexander Meshkin to drive the No. 24 Line-X Spray-on Bedliners / eBay Bang! Racing-sponsored Toyota. Kvapil came away with his first win of the season during the Line-X Spray-on Truck Bedliners 200 at Michigan International Speedway. The win gave Toyota their first win in the top-tiers of NASCAR. Two months later, Kvapil won at New Hampshire International Speedway. The same season, Kvapil won his first Bud Pole Award in the Craftsman Truck Series at the American Racing Wheels 200 at California Speedway. He finished eight in the final driver standings of the season.

2005–present
During the 2004 NASCAR seasons, Kvapil signed for a driver development program with Roger Penske, in hopes of moving up to the Cup Series while bypassing the Busch Series. It was believed by many that Penske was planning to bring Kvapil to the Cup Series for 2005 while he had minimal Busch Series experience; Penske and Kvapil did not comment the truth or falseness of the rumors. However, at the end of the 2004 season, Kvapil made his first NEXTEL Cup Series start at Martinsville Speedway. Kvapil drove the No. 06 Mobil 1-sponsored Dodge, the fourth car on the track from Penske Racing. He made three additional starts in the No. 06 in preparation for driving Penske Racing's No. 77 in 2005. In 2005, Kvapil took over the Penske's No. 77 Kodak-sponsored Dodge full-time, replacing Brendan Gaughan. Kvapil scored his first ever Nextel Cup Series Top 10 at Brisol Motor Speedway when he finished seventh in the Food City 500. He picked up another Top 10 at Phoenix International Raceway during the Checker Auto Parts 500. These two Top 10 finishes pushed Kvapil to finish 33rd in the point standings during his first season in the series. When the season ended, the Penske Racing No. 77 team temporarily disbanded when Kodak pulled out of the sponsorship deal.

After his departure from Penske, Kvapil signed with PPI Motorsports for the 2006 NASCAR Sprint Cup season. He drove the No. 32 Tide-sponsored Chevrolet for the 2006 season. He had his best finishes of the season at Kansas Speedway, Pocono Raceway, and Talladega Superspeedway, where he finished 19th in all three of those events. Kvapil finished the season 36th in points, and was forced to find a new ride for the next season as his PPI contract only lasted one year. PPI eventually shut down after the 2006 due to the inability to find a sponsor to replace Tide. The team also did not have a manufacturer commitment for the 2007 NASCAR Sprint Cup season.

In 2007, Jack Roush, owner of Roush Racing, offered Kvapil a seat in the No. 6 Ford F-150 in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. Kvapil replaced Mark Martin in the truck, who moved to Ginn Racing, and David Ragan, who was promoted to replace Martin in the No. 6 Ford in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Jack Roush, excited about signing with Kvapil, said, “We are pleased beyond measure that we were able to get a driver the caliber of Travis Kvapil. At only 30 years old with a Truck championship and two years of Sprint Cup experience under his belt, Travis brings great long and short term potential to and for Roush Racing.” He finished the season with four wins, three poles, eight Top 5s and 12 Top 10s. He finished the season sixth in the driver point standings. He returned to Roush Fenway Racing as a part-time driver in 2008 when Joey Clanton was released from the No. 09 Ford.

Roush recognized Kvapil's talents, and helped return to Cup with Yates Racing in 2008. Kvapil drove the famous No. 28 Yates Ford Fusion. Prior to the start of the season, Kvapil and teammate David Gilliland did not have a full-time sponsorship on their Yates Racing Fords. While Gilliland's team found full-time sponsorship, Kvapil's team had to piece together sponsorship throughout the season. K&N Filters-sponsored Kvapil's team for the Daytona 500. Two weeks later, Kvapil scored an eighth-place finish at Las Vegas Motor Speedway during the UAW-Dodge 400. The finish at LVMS, which was in an unsponsored car, gave Kvapil his third Top 10 of his career. After the race, it was announced that Zaxby's would serve as a sponsorship for the No. 28 team in the Kobalt Tools 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, a race in which he finished 29th. With a one-race sponsorship deal with Northern Tool and Equipment, Kvapil finished sixth in the Aaron's 499 at Talladega. This gave him his career-best finish in the Sprint Cup Series. Kvapil picked up another Top 10 finish in the Dodge Challenger 500 at Darlington. Despite the lack of sponsorship for the year, Kvapil collected another four Top 10 finishes, finishing 23rd in the points standings. He also won the pole at the fall Talladega race, which turned out to be the last pole award for Yates Racing.

In 2009, Kvapil returned to the No. 28, but the team was forced to close after six races due to lack of funding. Yates Racing ended up shutting down after the season. Kvapil qualified for several drivers through the rest of the year, but did not have a full-time ride.

In 2010, Kvapil returned to a full-time ride in the Long John Silver's-sponsored Ford for Front Row Motorsports. This car changed numbers throughout the year, using either No. 34, No. 37, or No. 38, depending on each number's position in points (with the goal being to get all three cars in the Top 35 for 2011). In 2011, Kvapil returned to FRM full-time in the No. 38 car, but signed up to compete for the Camping World Truck Series championship with Randy Moss Motorsports in their No. 5 Toyota. After 10 races, however, Kvapil was released in favor of defending Truck champion Todd Bodine, whose Germain Racing team partnered with RMM to continue running that driver for 2011. Kvapil stuck with FRM in the Cup Series, driving their No. 38 for most races, except in several late-season races, J. J. Yeley swapped rides with Kvapil several times, with the latter driving FRM's start and park No. 55.

Leaving FRM after the end of the 2011 season, Kvapil was signed by BK Racing to compete in the Sprint Cup Series for 2012. He drove the No. 93 Toyota starting with the second race of the year at Phoenix with Todd Anderson serving as crew chief; At Darlington, where David Reutimann drove the No. 93, Kvapil drove the No. 73 for BK Racing, though he drove the No. 93 for the remainder of the season. He also drove for RAB Racing in the season-opening Camping World Truck Series event, replacing a suspended John Wes Townley. Kvapil ended the 2012 Cup season 27th in points, his second best finish in the points since his debut.

However, in 2013, both Kvapil and BK Racing struggled. Kvapil dropped to 31st in points, recording five Top 20 finishes but nine DNFs (including five blown engines). The team released Kvapil shortly before the start of the 2014 season.

During Speedweeks 2014, Kvapil announced that he had signed to drive in the Sprint Cup Series for Go FAS Racing on a limited basis, as well as for MAKE Motorsports in the Camping World Truck Series. On August 12, it was announced that Kvapil would replace Townley in the No. 05 Athenian Motorsports Toyota for the Truck race at Michigan. Kvapil also ran several late-season races for Circle Sport, tying his best career finish of sixth at Talladega. Also in the fall, he returned to BK Racing to run the No. 83 Toyota in several races after the team released rookie Ryan Truex. Kvapil was scheduled to make a qualifying attempt for the 2015 Cup season at Atlanta, driving the No. 44 Chevrolet for Team Xtreme, but was forced to withdraw when his car, hauler and truck were stolen from a hotel parking lot. For 2015, Kvapil mostly raced in the truck series driving the No. 1 Chevrolet for MAKE Motorsports. Later that season, Kvapil attempted some races for Curtis Key's team, but the team was struggling to qualify, and Kvapil DNQed in all of his attempts.

In 2016, Kvapil announced that he would run the full Camping World Truck Series season with MAKE Motorsports once again. In the season opener at Daytona, Kvapil scored a fifth-place finish. He also made his return to the Xfinity Series, driving the No. 15 Ford for B. J. McLeod Motorsports at Richmond and Talladega.

Kvapil continued to drive the No. 50 truck for MAKE, now known as Beaver Motorsports, in 2017. He also drove for MB Motorsports and Bolen Motorsports. Kvapil only attempted the first two races in 2018, making Daytona, where he finished last. He made just one start in 2019, which was at Martinsville. Kvapil has not raced in NASCAR since 2019.

Personal life
Kvapil is married to his wife Jennifer, and has three children: Kelsey, Carson and Caden. Carson drives for JR Motorsports in the CARS Late Model Stock Tour as of 2023. The Kvapils reside in Mooresville, North Carolina.

Kvapil competed against fellow Wisconsin native Matt Kenseth at Madison International Speedway. Kvapil, like Kenseth, is an avid Green Bay Packers fan. During the 2006 NASCAR Nextel Cup season, Kvapil and his No. 32 Tide from PPI Motorsports appeared on an episode of Guiding Light.

Legal issues
On October 8, 2013, Kvapil was arrested by the Mooresville police department following a domestic dispute. Kvapil was charged with assault on a female and false imprisonment, and was released on $1,000 bail. Kvapil was allowed to race in that weekend's Bank of America 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. On January 30, 2014, it was announced that Kvapil had accepted a plea deal in the case, pleading guilty in exchange for having the case dismissed following two years' probation, community service, and attending an anger management class.

Umberto D.

Umberto D. is a 1952 Italian neorealist film directed by Vittorio De Sica. Most of the actors were non-professional, including Carlo Battisti who plays the title role of Umberto Domenico Ferrari, a poor elderly man in Rome who is desperately trying to keep his rented room. His landlady (Lina Gennari) is evicting him and his only true friends, the housemaid (Maria-Pia Casilio) and his dog Flike (called 'Flag' in some subtitled versions of the film) are of no help.

According to Robert Osborne of Turner Classic Movies, this was De Sica's favorite of all his films. The movie was included in TIME magazine's "All-TIME 100 Movies" in 2005. The film's sets were designed by Virgilio Marchi. In 2008, the film was included on the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage’s 100 Italian films to be saved, a list of 100 films that "have changed the collective memory of the country between 1942 and 1978."

Plot
Police disperse an organized street demonstration of elderly men demanding a raise in their meager pensions. One of the marchers is Umberto D. Ferrari, a retired government worker.

He returns to his room and finds that his landlady has rented it out for an hour to a young couple to have sex. She threatens to evict Ferrari at the end of the month if he cannot pay the overdue rent, fifteen thousand lire. He sells a watch and some books, but only raises a third of the amount. The landlady refuses to accept partial payment.

Meanwhile, the sympathetic maid confides in Umberto that she has her own problems. She is three months pregnant, but is unsure which of her two lovers (both soldiers) is the father, the tall one from Naples or the short one from Florence.

Feeling ill, Umberto gets himself admitted to a hospital. It turns out to be tonsillitis and he is discharged after a few days. When he returns to the apartment, he finds workmen renovating the entire place. The landlady is getting married. Umberto's room has a gaping hole in the wall. The maid tells him it is to become part of an enlarged living room. The maid was taking care of his dog named Flike, but a door was left open and Flike ran away.

Umberto rushes to the city pound and is relieved to find his dog; however, when he makes a veiled plea for a loan to one of his friends who has a job, the friend refuses to listen. Unable to bring himself to beg from strangers on the street Umberto contemplates suicide, but knows he must first see that Flike is taken care of. He packs his belongings and leaves the apartment. His parting advice to the maid is to get rid of the boyfriend from Florence.

Umberto attempts to find a place for Flike, first with a couple who board dogs, then a little girl he knows, but the latter's nanny makes her give the dog back. Flike goes to play with some children and Umberto slips away, hoping that one of them will adopt him. Despite Umberto's attempt to abandon Flike, the dog finds him hiding under a footbridge. Finally in desperation, Umberto takes the dog in his arms and walks on to a railway track as a speeding train approaches. Flike becomes frightened, wriggles free and flees. Umberto runs after him. At first Flike warily hides, but eventually Umberto coaxes Flike out to play with a pine cone. Still homeless, Umberto scampers down the park lane while playing with his dog.

Reception
De Sica said that the film was quite unpopular in Italy because it was in a period after World War II when the country was just getting back on its feet. Subsequently, they saw Umberto D. as too critical of the pride they were trying to engender in themselves. It evoked such opposition in conservatives that Giulio Andreotti, the minister responsible for cinema at the time, published an open letter against De Sica, saying that if the movie was perceived as a realistic depiction of mid-twentieth century Italy, he "[would] have rendered a very bad service to [the] country". However, it was quite popular overseas and the film remained the one he was most proud of (even dedicating the film to his father).

In an interview where he discussed Diary of a Country Priest, Psycho and Citizen Kane, Ingmar Bergman is quoted as saying, "Umberto D. is ... a movie I have seen a hundred times, that I may love most of all."

Martin Scorsese included it on a list of "39 Essential Foreign Films for a Young Filmmaker."

Roger Ebert included the film in his selection of Great Movies, writing that "Vittorio De Sica's Umberto D (1952) is the story of the old man's struggle to keep from falling from poverty into shame. It may be the best of the Italian neorealist films--the one that is most simply itself, and does not reach for its effects or strain to make its message clear."

Awards and nominations

 * Vittorio De Sica was nominated for the Grand Prix – 1952 Cannes Film Festival
 * 1955 New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Foreign Film
 * Cesare Zavattini was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Story at the 29th Academy Awards in 1957

Remake
A French remake entitled A Man and His Dog premiered in 2008. The film was directed by Francis Huster, co-written by Huster and Murielle Magellan, and stars Jean-Paul Belmondo in his first role in seven years, alongside Hafsia Herzi, Julika Jenkins and Francis Huster among others.

Kalaram Temple

Kalaram Temple, is a Hindu temple in Nashik of Nashik district in Maharashtra, dedicated to the deity Rama. It is a temple situated in Panchavati area of the Nashik. The temple derives its name from a black statue of Rama. The literal translation of kalaram is "black Rama". The sanctum sanctorum also houses the statues of the goddess Sita and the god Lakshmana. Thousands of devotees visit the temple every day.

History
The original temple dedicated to an unknown deity was very old, estimated to be of the Rashtrakuta Period from 7th to 11th centuries. However, the claimed antiquity of the Rama idol that it was more than 2000 years old has not been verified. According to an anecdote, during the period of early Turkish invasions, the idol of the deity was thrown in the Godavari River by the Temple Brahmins in order to save it. The new temple was funded by one Sardar Rangarao Odhekar, and was rebuilt around 1788. Once, it is claimed, Odhekar had a dream that the statue of Rama in black colour was in the Godavari River.He carried out expedition of reviving the idol and miraculously got it. Odhekar took the statue from river and built the temple. Odhekar's expedition is an important part of Nashik's history. There is a statue of Sardar Odhekar in the temple.

According to ancient epic of the Ramayana, Rama was sent in exile for fourteen years. After the tenth year of exile, Rama along with Lakshmana and Sita, lived for two and half years on the northern bank of the Godavari near Nasik. This place is known as Panchavati.

B.R. Ambedkar's satyagraha
The temple came middle of the conflict caused by Satyagraha organised and led by B.R. Ambedkar. Now it is known as Kalaram mandir satyagraha. Ambedkar organised a large protest outside this temple on 2 March 1930, in order to enter into the temple. Many dalit protesters arrived to the town by trucks, they surrounded the temple and sat around it. They sang songs, often raised war cries, demanded to enter in the temple. The people of Nashik boycotted the protesters. On the day of Rama Navami 9 April 1930, the dalit protesters tried to stop the temple ratha yatra; fights and stone pelting began in-between Hindus and dalit protesters, later Ambedkar reached at the riot spot, he and other all the protesters suffered minor injuries. Somehow a protester named Bhaskar Kendre broke the police cordon who were protecting the temple and enter in it and fell on the floor. This satyagraha ran till 1935.

Temple complex
The main entrance has a Hanuman deity which is black. There is also a very old tree that has Dattatreya's footprint impressions marked on a stone. Pilgrims visit the Kapaleshwar Mahadev temple near the Kalaram Temple.

Hanuman's temple is designed in such a way that, Rama's idol can be visible from Hanuman's idol.

Main temple of Rama has 14 steps, which represents 14 years of Rama's exile.

Also, the temple has 84 pillars, which represents cycle of 84 lakh species one has to go in order to get human birth.

Imprint (TV series)

Imprint was a Canadian television series that aired on TVOntario, CBC Newsworld, BookTelevision and Knowledge. Inspired by Bernard Pivot's French literary programme Apostrophes, the series featured interviews with prize-winning authors and journalists, and examined the latest trends in books and contemporary issues in literature.

History
The series premiered in September 1989, hosted by Paul Roberts and Jennifer Gibson in its first season. The show was so poorly received at first that the network placed the show on temporary hiatus after only a few episodes, revamping its production team before relaunching it in November. The change did not improve the program's critical reviews, however, with Roberts in particular being singled out for shying away from potentially controversial discussions.

Both hosts left the series in 1990, and Daniel Richler took over as host in the second season. Under Richler, the show expanded its format to include a rotating stable of contributing interviewers, including journalist Ann Medina, critic and writer Gary Michael Dault, novelists M. T. Kelly and Barbara Gowdy, poet Clifton Joseph and biographer Michael Coren, as well as regular round table discussions on literary topics. The new format significantly improved the program's critical reception.

Richler left the series in 1993, and was succeeded by Guy Lawson. Ken Rockburn, fresh off the cancellation of his syndicated radio series Medium Rare, was also a finalist for the job.

Lawson left the show in 1995 to return to writing full-time, and was succeeded that fall by H. S. Bhabra and Marni Jackson.

In 1996, due to budget cuts at TVOntario the show was slated to have its staff and format cut back, although at this time CBC Newsworld stepped in as a coproducer. A third cohost, Cynthia Macdonald, was added in the 1996 season.

Jackson and Bhabra left the show in 1997, and were succeeded by Mary Hynes as sole host. CBC Newsworld did not continue to air the show in the 1997-98 season, instead introducing its own show on books and literature, Hot Type. Hynes hosted until 2000, when she returned to CBC Radio, and was succeeded by Tina Srebotnjak. When BookTelevision launched in 2001, Imprint was added to its schedule.

TVOntario, the program's producer, cancelled the series in early 2005.

One on One: The Imprint Interviews, a compilation book of author interviews from the series, was published in 1994.

Cognitive apprenticeship

Cognitive apprenticeship is a theory that emphasizes the importance of the process in which a master of a skill teaches that skill to an apprentice.

Constructivist approaches to human learning have led to the development of the theory of cognitive apprenticeship. This theory accounts for the problem that masters of a skill often fail to take into account the implicit processes involved in carrying out complex skills when they are teaching novices. To combat these tendencies, cognitive apprenticeships "…are designed, among other things, to bring these tacit processes into the open, where students can observe, enact, and practice them with help from the teacher…". This model is supported by Jhon Brix Kistadio's (1997) theory of modeling, which posits that in order for modeling to be successful, the learner must be attentive, access and retain the information presented, be motivated to learn, and be able to accurately reproduce the desired skill.

Overview
Part of the effectiveness of the cognitive apprenticeship model comes from learning in context and is based on theories of situated cognition. Cognitive scientists maintain that the context in which learning takes place is critical (e.g., Godden & Baddeley, 1975). Based on findings such as these, Collins, Duguid, and Brown (1989) argue that cognitive apprenticeships are less effective when skills and concepts are taught independently of their real-world context and situation. As they state, "Situations might be said to co-produce knowledge through activity. Learning and cognition, it is now possible to argue, are fundamentally situated". In cognitive apprenticeships, teachers model their skills in real-world situations.

By modelling and coaching, masters in cognitive apprenticeships also support the three stages of skill acquisition described in the expertise literature: the cognitive stage, the associative stage, and the autonomous stage. In the cognitive stage, learners develop a declarative understanding of the skill. In the associative stage, mistakes and misinterpretations learned in the cognitive stage are detected and eliminated, while associations between the critical elements involved in the skill are strengthened. Finally, in the autonomous stage, the learner's skill becomes honed and perfected until it is executed at an expert level.

Like traditional apprenticeships, in which the apprentice learns a trade such as tailoring or woodworking by working under a master teacher, cognitive apprenticeships allow masters to model behaviors in a real-world context with cognitive modeling. After listening to the master explain exactly what they are doing and thinking as they model the skill, the apprentice identifies relevant behaviors and develops a conceptual model of the processes involved. The apprentice then attempts to imitate those behaviors as the master observes and coaches. Coaching provides assistance at the most critical level– the skill level just beyond what the learner/apprentice could accomplish by themself. Vygotsky (1978) referred to this as the Zone of Proximal Development and believed that fostering development within this zone would lead to the most rapid development. The coaching process includes providing additional modeling as necessary, giving corrective feedback, and giving reminders, which all intend to bring the apprentice's performance closer to that of the master's. As the apprentice becomes more skilled through the repetition of this process, the feedback and instruction provided by the master "fades" until the apprentice is, ideally, performing the skill at a close approximation of the master level.

Teaching methods
Collins, Brown, and Newman developed six teaching methods rooted in cognitive apprenticeship theory and claim these methods help students attain cognitive and metacognitive strategies for "using, managing, and discovering knowledge". The first three, modeling, coaching, scaffolding, are at the core of cognitive apprenticeship and help with cognitive and metacognitive development. The next two, articulation and reflection, are designed to help novices with awareness of problem-solving strategies and execution similar to that of an expert. The final step, exploration, intends to guide the novice towards independence and the ability to solve and identify problems within the domain on their own. The authors note, however, that this is not an exhaustive list of methods and that the successful execution of these methods is highly dependent on the domain.

Modeling
Modeling is when an expert, usually a teacher, within the cognitive domain or subject area demonstrates a task explicitly so that novices, usually a student, can experience and build a conceptual model of the task at hand. For example, a math teacher might write out explicit steps and work through a problem aloud, demonstrating their heuristics and procedural knowledge. Modeling includes demonstrating expert performances or processes in the world.

Coaching
Coaching involves observing a novice's task performance and offering feedback and hints to sculpt the novice's performance to that of an expert's. The expert oversees the novice's tasks and may structure the task accordingly to assist the novice's development.

Scaffolding
Instructional scaffolding is the act of applying strategies and methods to support the student's learning. These supports could be teaching manipulatives, activities, or group work. The teacher may have to execute parts of the task that the student is not yet able to do. This requires the teacher to have the skill to analyze and assess students' abilities in the moment.

Articulation
Articulation includes "any method of getting students to articulate their knowledge, reasoning, or problem-solving process in a domain" (p. 482). Three types of articulation are inquiry teaching, thinking aloud, and critical student role. Through inquiry teaching (Collins & Stevens, 1982), teachers ask students a series of questions that allow them to refine and restate their learned knowledge and form explicit conceptual models. Thinking aloud requires students to articulate their thoughts while solving problems. Students assuming a critical role monitor others in cooperative activities and draw conclusions based on the problem-solving activities. Articulation is described by McLellan as consisting of two aspects: separating component knowledge from skills to learn more effectively, and more commonly verbalizing or demonstrating knowledge and thinking processes in order to expose and clarify ideas.

Reflection
Reflection allows students to "compare their own problem-solving processes with those of an expert, another student, and ultimately, an internal cognitive model of expertise" (p. 483). A technique for reflection would be examining the past performances of both an expert and a novice, and highlighting similarities and differences. The goal of reflection is for students to look back and analyze their performances with desire to understand and improve the behavior of an expert.

Exploration
Exploration involves giving students room to problem solve on their own and teaching students exploration strategies. The former requires the teacher to slowly withdraw the use of supports and scaffolds not only in problem solving methods, but problem setting methods as well. The latter requires the teacher to show students how to explore, research, and develop hypotheses. Exploration allows the student to frame interesting problems within the domain for themselves and then take the initiative to solve these problems.

Louis Adamic

Louis Adamic (Alojzij Adamič; March 23, 1898 – September 4, 1951) was a Slovene-American author and translator, mostly known for writing about and advocating for ethnic diversity of the United States.

Background
Louis Adamic was born at Praproče Mansion in Praproče pri Grosupljem in the region of Lower Carniola, in what is now Slovenia (then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire). He was baptized Alojzij Adamič. The oldest son of the peasants Anton and Ana Adamič, he was given a limited childhood education at the city school and, in 1909, entered the primary school at Ljubljana. Early in his third year he joined a secret students' political club associated with the Yugoslav Nationalistic Movement that had recently sprung up in the South-Slavic provinces of Austria-Hungary.

Swept up in a bloody demonstration in November 1913, Adamic was briefly jailed, expelled from school, and barred from any government educational institution. He was admitted to the Jesuit school in Ljubljana, but was unable to bring himself to go. "No more school for me. I was going to America," Adamic wrote. "I did not know how, but I knew that I would go."

On December 31, 1913, at the age of 15, Adamic emigrated to the United States.

He finally settled in a heavily ethnic Croatian fishing community of San Pedro, California. He became a naturalized United States citizen in 1918 as Louis Adamic.

Career
Adamic first worked as a manual laborer and later at a Yugoslavian daily newspaper, Narodni Glas ("The Voice of the Nation"), that was published in New York. As an American soldier he participated in combat on the Western front during the First World War. After the war he worked as a journalist and professional writer.

All of Adamic's writings are based on his labor experiences in America and his former life in Slovenia. He achieved national acclaim in America in 1934 with his book The Native's Return, which was a bestseller directed against King Alexander's regime in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. This book gave many Americans their first real knowledge of the Balkans. In it, Adamic predicted that America would prosper by eventually "going left", i.e. adopting socialism.

He received the Guggenheim Fellowship award in 1932. During the Second World War he had supported the Yugoslav National liberation struggle and the establishment of a socialist Yugoslav federation. He founded the United Committee of South-Slavic Americans in support of Marshal Tito. From 1949 he was a corresponding member of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts.

From 1940 onwards he served as editor of the magazine Common Ground. Adamic was the author of Dynamite: The Story of Class Violence in America (1931); Laughing in the Jungle: The Autobiography of an Immigrant in America (1932); The Native's Return: An American Immigrant Visits Yugoslavia and Discovers His Old Country (1934); Grandsons: A Story of American Lives (1935, novel); Cradle of Life: The Story of One Man's Beginnings (1936, novel); The House in Antigua (1937, travel); My America (1938); From Many Lands (1940); Two-Way Passage (1941); What's Your Name? (1942); My Native Land (1943); Nation of Nations (1945); and The Eagle and the Roots (1950). Maxim Lieber was his literary agent, 1930–1931 and in 1946. In 1941, Adamic won the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award for From Many Lands.

Adamic was strongly opposed to the foreign policy followed by British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and in 1946 wrote Dinner at the White House, which purported to be an account of a dinner party given by President Franklin D. Roosevelt at which Adamic and Churchill had both been present. After the proofs had been passed by publishers Harper and Brothers, an additional footnote was inserted in pages 151 and 152 which claimed that Churchill had opposed the National Liberation Front in Greece because they intended to scale down the rate of interest Greece was paying to Hambros Bank. The footnote further claimed that Hambros had "bailed Winston Churchill out of bankruptcy in 1912". The footnote appeared in the book when it was published, and a copy was circulated to every British Member of Parliament; when Churchill was alerted, he instructed his solicitors to issue a writ for libel. Harper and Brothers admitted the statement was untrue and Adamic also withdrew the claim and apologised; a substantial sum of damages was paid, reported by the Daily Express as £5,000. the copy of Dinner at the White House in the British Library is held in the Suppressed Safe collection, inaccessible to readers.

His support for the Tito regime led to him being targeted by Nevada Senator Pat McCarran, who between May and September 1949, chaired a subcommittee to expose Soviet sympathizers among ethnic communities.

Death
In 1951, he was found shot in his home in the Riegelsville section of Pohatcong Township, New Jersey, with his house burning and with a rifle in his hand. It was supposed by assistant Hunterdon County physician Dr. John Fuhrmann to be suicide. However, State Police Lieutenant J.J. Harris implied that foul play was a possibility. Found in Adamic's pocket by the police was a newspaper clipping of a story headlined "Adamic Red Spy, Woman Charges."

Herbert Heisel, Hunterdon County Prosecutor, claimed that there was no reason to contradict the initial report of a suicide after further investigative and laboratory reports.

John Roy Carlson, present at the burial of Adamic, said he believed Adamic was murdered by the Soviet Government, who were threatened by the impending publication of The Eagle and the Roots. Other unnamed friends of Adamic were reported to have said that he had been threatened due to his support for Marshal Tito following Yugoslavia's recent exit from the Soviet Bloc.

Anton Smole, of Tanjug, alleged that Adamic had told of him of multiple occasions in which unknown men had threatened Adamic over his public sympathies as a writer for Titoism and the anti-Stalinist Left. Included in these claims is a reported visit to Adamic's farmhouse in October of 1949 from an unknown man who warned him to stop submitting magazine articles that were friendly to Yugoslavia. Reportedly, Adamic had also been beaten severely on a California beach sometime in 1951, and left with the warning that he would be murdered if he continued writing about Yugoslavia.

Ethel Sharp, Adamic's typist, claimed he had told her of an incident in October of 1950 in which four unidentified men visited Adamic's home and threateningly inquired about the progress of The Eagle and the Roots. However, Adamic was apparently unfazed by the visit. The episode had not been reported to the authorities.

In 1957, Howard L. Yowell, the then-current owner of the house where Adamic died, found $12,350 cash in a tin box within a wall of the farmhouse. The Flemington Police speculated that the money had belonged to Adamic.

Legacy
According to John McAleer's Edgar Award-winning Rex Stout: A Biography (1977), it was the influence of Adamic that led Rex Stout to make his fictional detective Nero Wolfe a native of Montenegro, in what was then Yugoslavia. Stout and Adamic were friends and frequent political allies, and Stout expressed uncertainty to McAleer about the circumstances of Adamic's death. In any case, the demise seems to have inspired Stout's 1954 novel The Black Mountain, in which Nero Wolfe returns to his homeland to hunt down the killers of an old friend.

McLaren Speedtail: "spiritual" successor?

Curious about the "14% more powerful" figure, as by all listed (kW/HP/PS) metrics, it is ~12.4% more powerful. If this figure was derived by some other metric, a citation might be desirable. Also Swapping between % for power difference, then raw number for weight difference is inconsistent. Update needed here too ? 101.167.58.205 (talk) 05:11, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

I saw a comment on FastestLaps.com and apparently there was a McLaren F1 model made in 1989. Wikipedia article also points out to 1989, so that must be right. I mean, '89?

Maryland Route 3

Maryland Route 3 (MD 3), part of the Robert Crain Highway, is the designation given to the former alignment of U.S. Route 301 (US 301) from Bowie, Maryland, United States, to Baltimore. It is named for Robert Crain of Baltimore. It is unique in Maryland in that it has a business route and a truck route which do not connect to their parent; however, the business route is also a part of the Robert Crain Highway. MD 3's current orientation is vestigial from the construction of Maryland's freeway system.

Route description
MD 3 begins within the modified cloverleaf interchange of US 50 and unsigned I-595 (John Hanson Highway) and US 301 (Robert Crain Highway) in Bowie, Prince George's County. Within the interchange, US 301 heads south on Crain Highway and east along US 50; meanwhile, MD 3 heads north on Crain Highway, a four-lane divided highway. A short distance after beginning, the route comes to a partial cloverleaf interchange with Belair Drive, containing continuing connections from the US 50/US 301 interchange. Past here, the road runs north through wooded residential areas before the median widens and it bends to the north-northeast, continuing through forested areas with a few businesses. MD 3 continues northeast and the median narrows, with the road widening to eight lanes as it comes to an intersection with MD 450. At this point, MD 450 heads northeast for a concurrency with MD 3 along a six-lane divided highway, running through wooded areas and coming to a bridge over the Patuxent River.

Upon crossing the Patuxent River, the road enters Anne Arundel County and continues northeast, with MD 450 splitting from MD 3 by turning to the east. MD 3 continues north along Crain Highway into Crofton, passing between woodland to the west and residential subdivisions to the east. The road heads into a commercial area and comes to an intersection with the northern terminus of MD 424. At this point, the route turns to the northeast and the median widens to include businesses in the center. MD 3 heads into Gambrills and runs through more commercial areas. The median narrows as the road passes to the southeast of the Waugh Chapel Towne Center shopping center and runs between businesses to the northwest and residential neighborhoods to the southeast. The median widens again and the route narrows to four lanes at the St. Stephen's Church Road intersection, passing through a mix of fields, woods, and businesses. The road comes to an intersection with the eastern terminus of MD 175 in Millersville before it heads northeast through woodland. MD 3 comes to its northern terminus at a modified cloverleaf interchange with I-97 and the eastern terminus of the MD 32 freeway. I-97 passes under MD 3 and occupies its median for a very short distance, with MD 3 ending at ramps merging into northbound I-97. The roadway of MD 3, however, continues for a minor distance longer, the southbound carriageway turning and crossing underneath I-97 to join with the northbound on the east side of the Interstate, and continuing north as Veterans Highway, running parallel to I-97 and providing access to MD 178.

History
In the past, Crain Highway originally held the designation MD 3, then US 301, and it currently carries both of these designations on different sections.

Started in 1922, Crain Highway was a new road built by the Maryland State Road Commission and ran from Baltimore to Southern Maryland. The original route of MD 3, completed in 1927 on a greenfield alignment, was once designated Maryland Route 761. With the opening of the Harry W. Nice Bridge in 1940 it was joined with U.S. Route 301. After the Chesapeake Bay Bridge was built in 1952, US 301, which at that time ran along the current alignment of MD 3, was rerouted along US 50, across the Bay Bridge, and north to Wilmington, Delaware, as a bypass around the Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan Area. The former US 301 north of US 50 was then given back the MD 3 designation. After the construction of I-97, MD 3 was cut back to the I-97/MD 32 interchange, which led to the oddity of MD 3 Business in Glen Burnie being completely orphaned from its parent route. Despite this, the route is still designated MD 3 Business.

If MD 3 existed as a continuous route between its original southern end near Cobb Island (now signed as MD 254 and MD 257) and its original northern end at US 1 (Wilkens Avenue) in southwestern Baltimore, running via US 301, Interstate 97, short segments of the Baltimore Beltway and the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, and Monroe Street in downtown Baltimore, it would be 74.69 miles long. MD 3 was routed via the Beltway and the Parkway to divert it from city streets; originally it followed what is now MD 648 (Baltimore-Annapolis Boulevard) into Baltimore, meeting Monroe Street within today's interchange between the Parkway and Interstate 95.

The current alignment of the route was upgraded to a divided highway as US 301 in 1954.

The route is severely congested; attempts to bypass it with new routings have failed. One such routing would have been Interstate 297, a direct freeway link between Interstate 97 and US 50/US 301/I-595.

Maryland Route 3 Business
Maryland Route 3 Business (MD 3 Bus.) is a 5.08 mi business route of MD 3 through Glen Burnie and is the northernmost part of the Robert Crain Highway, connecting I-97 and MD 2. MD 3 Bus. begins on two-lane undivided New Cut Road at an arbitrary point just south of Grover Road in Severn, heading north-northeast through a mix of fields and residential neighborhoods and passing east of Archbishop Spalding High School. Past the Grover Road intersection, the route becomes a five-lane road with a center left-turn lane. MD 3 Bus. comes to an interchange with I-97 and becomes a four-lane divided highway, with the name changing to Crain Highway at the intersection with the northern terminus of Veterans Highway within the interchange. From here, the route widens to six lanes and continues through a largely commercial and residential area in Glen Burnie, curving to the north. The road passes under the MD 100 freeway without an interchange before narrowing to four lanes at the Oak Manor Drive intersection immediately after. MD 3 Bus. continues north through suburban areas, with the median transitioning to a center left-turn lane at the Madison Park Drive intersection. The road bends to the north-northeast and reaches a junction with the eastern terminus of MD 174. Following this, the route continues as a five lane road with a center left-turn lane that is lined with businesses, narrowing to a two-lane road at the 5th Avenue intersection. The road continues through residential and commercial areas, gaining a center turn lane again. At the Post 40 Road intersection, the Baltimore and Annapolis Trail crosses the route diagonally, forcing trail users to utilize two crosswalks. Immediately after, MD 3 Bus. intersects MD 648 in the downtown area of Glen Burnie. The route continues north-northeast through developed areas as a two-lane road, with MD 2 now running parallel to the route just one block to the east. Now with shoulders, MD 3 Bus. enters a heavy residential and commercial area for the remainder of its route. The route intersects the northern terminus of MD 270 before it makes a slight curve to the north. MD 3 Bus. continues north for a short distance before it reaches its northern terminus at an intersection with MD 2.

MD 3 Bus. is the only business route in the Maryland state highway system that no longer connects with its parent route. This is due to the construction of a bypass freeway, which took over the MD 3 designation as it was built; MD 3 Bus. was designated for the present business route as it was constructed. However, the freeway was later designated as I-97, and MD 3's mainline was truncated to the point at which the freeway and MD 3 deviated onto different routes, 3 mi south of MD 3 Bus. Despite this, several locations on I-97 have "TO MD 3" signs posted.

Junction list

Maryland Route 3 Truck
Maryland Route 3 Truck is an unsigned designation given to Pratt Street eastbound and Lombard Street westbound in downtown Baltimore, running from MD 295 (Greene Street) east to President Street.

The route exists despite not connecting to the current alignment of MD 3. As mentioned before, this is due to the construction of the freeways south of Baltimore taking the MD 3 designation, including MD 295. Before being given the current MD 295 designation, Paca Street and Greene Street were part of MD 3, which was the connection of MD 3 Truck to MD 3's mainline.

Cardiff Uni Staff Rewriting content
I've noticed in the history that there negative news stories or links are being removed by a user or users from an IP rang of 131.251.124.206. When you reverse lookup this range it resolves as a Cardiff University IP address. Therefore, the PR people must be removing content which they do not agree with or perhaps just removing content that a very small minority of people think is as important as the other content noted in the summary of the institution. Perhaps Wikipedia and the page editors can discuss the validity, relevancy and appropriateness of the content before it is reinstated.

Coat of arms
The current image for the coat of arms is incorrect. It is only a poorly redrawn version of the shield contained within the actual coat of arms. The actual coat of arms can be seen here: https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/about/our-profile/history  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C6:7C09:AA00:F97C:C6F1:95A0:1AE7 (talk) 22:49, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

 * You are mistaken. It is a correct representation of the coat of arms, but not of the full achievement. From coat of arms: "A coat of arms is a heraldic visual design on an escutcheon (i.e., shield), surcoat, or tabard. The coat of arms on an escutcheon forms the central element of the full heraldic achievement which in its whole consists of: shield, supporters, crest, and motto." There is no available-for-use (non copyright) image of the full achievement, but if you would like to make one it can be put in here. Until that happens, it's best to have the coat of arms without the additional elements. Robminchin (talk) 02:56, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

The list of notable alumni is way too long and should be listed on a separate page
The current list includes over 150 alumni and is not appropriate for a main university page. Not everyone, such as "a writer", "a neuroscientist" is notable ElKeybo (talk) 05:40, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
 * All of the listed alumni have a standalone Wikipedia article and are therefore notable. What policy do you think limits the length of a "notable alumni" section? In any case, if you want to move this information to a separate list article, you can do that, but the information should not simply be deleted with the rationale that it "should be listed on a separate page" without taking any action to do so. CodeTalker (talk) 06:17, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree with ElKeybo that this list doesn't belong on the main page. Not everyone with a Wikipedia article page is a notable alumni, otherwise universities would have thousands if not tens of thousands entries. Check WP:ONUS Should really be the responsibility of whoever added these in the first place. 2407:B9C0:F001:C3:5054:FF:FEF2:7A7 (talk) 08:19, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Agreed, this should be on a separate page,as is done for many other universities with a large number of notable alumni. I would suggest, following List of University of Cambridge people, List of University of Oxford people, List of Durham University people, etc. that List of Cardiff University people would allow it to hold both alumni and staff. This should be fairly straightforward to create from the current information here; if I get time and nobody else does it first I'll try to do it later today. Robminchin (talk) 14:30, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
 * The page has been created and content copied in there, with a small amount of re-arrangement. I've moved the list of Cardiff VCs to the history section on this page as it should be preserved here as part of the history. We can now cut down on the list on the main page. I would note that guidance in WP:UNIGUIDE is:
 * "Noted people – This section should give a sense of the extent to which persons with well-known deeds or highly significant accomplishments are or have been associated with the school (as by attendance there or by being on staff or faculty). For most schools this might take the form of a list of people meeting Wikipedia's notability standards (each with perhaps a very brief descriptive phrase), where such a list would not be excessively long. For very old, very large, or very prestigious schools it may be more appropriate to use categories ("Alumni of", "Faculty of", etc. note that "Alumni" categories are only for former students, including graduates; current students are not considered alumni) instead, limiting the explicit list to very well-known persons (heads of state, historical figures, etc.) and adding a narrative summary of statistics on such things as Nobel Prizes, other prestigious awards, and so on."
 * The section on the main page should thus include summary statistics and list the most well known people associated with the university. This should probably include at least the heads of state and the ones currently illustrated with pictures. Robminchin (talk) 18:02, 13 March 2023 (UTC)

Synopsis means summary
Some parts here are terribly written: "There is a dialectic of generational compositions which in the opening film of neorealism - commonly accepted as Rome, Open City - there is a parade of boys marching on Rome to reclaim the future -perhaps itself a reference to Mussolini's march on Rome" What does that even mean? Are they saying many neo-realist films open with boys marching on Rome? People need to stop posting parts of their badly written school essays.207.112.125.130 (talk) 15:00, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Synopsis means summary. There is no summary here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.240.10.170 (talk • contribs)

This article doesn't really read like a film page...nothing about the film, critical response, commercial success/failure, awards, influence or even the plot. There's just a so-called synopsis, which isn't really anything of the sort. It's quite good really, at least if it isn't copyvio, but shouldn't be the entirety of the article --Gargletheape 09:59, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Umberto D is a masterpiece. What the F*** is this article even about? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.66.13.244 (talk • contribs)

 * I don't think this is a copyvio - it looks to me like someone's film class essay pasted in here. It appeared all at once from an anonymous IP. I think we should just start over. Save a few useful bits, but basically start over. - AKeen 21:39, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Having an analysis is a good thing. More film articles could use them. Rather than deleting information why not just add a proper synopsis or plot outline. Doctor Sunshine 18:57, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

 * The problem with the analysis is that it is a one-sided perspective of Dr. Millicent Marcus, who, however good an Italianist, is not intimately connected with the film. This page is about the film, not Marcus. A link to Marcus' work would suffice. Wikipedia is, after all, an encyclopedia, not a film analysis page. Perhaps a wikifilm is in order, but this isn't it. Further, as other users have pointed out, other film pages do not have extensive analyses of this sort. Normalization is in order. I agree with Doctor Sunshine that analysis is an interesting feature to keep on wikipedia, but it should be a brief (one-two paragraph) summary of major critical views on the film, not an exposition of one critic's view. - Unsigned, 30 January 2007

 * The article simply cites 'Marcus 1986', but I presume it's referring to this book. A perfectly good source, but I agree with Anon above that it's wrong to rehash a critic's entire argument ad nauseum. Anyone have a good idea about exactly how to summarise the analysis? Cop 633 02:04, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

 * I've added a simple plot synopsis after seeing the film, it's likely not great but this article needed one, and I wanted to make sure it got one. -KingPenguin 04:28, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

 * By the way, at least the first three paragraphs of the analysis section are plagiarized, as can be found through a quick google search of its contents. I cannot confirm the rest of it is, but the analysis section will basically need to be dropped. -KingPenguin (talk) 15:57, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Umberto-d-full.jpg
Image:Umberto-d-full.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Wikipedia breeding imbecils?
Some time ago I wasted my time correcting what one or more imbecils did in some sort of essey about a movie they obviously did not see. Now in the middle of that some other moron comes in and adds "this section does not cite..." bla bla. Well.. before my edits there was no citation either, yet this moron had no feeling to add that. So? Does he need something to justify it? Obviously not. The quick answer is you get what you paid for - next time get a book on a certain topic as Wikipedia is surely not a match. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.32.194.22 (talk) 00:28, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
