Alfred Gruenther

General Alfred Maximilian Gruenther (March 3, 1899 – May 30, 1983) was a senior United States Army officer, Red Cross president, and bridge player. After being commissioned towards the end of World War I, he served in the army throughout the interwar period and into World War II, where he was primarily a staff officer. Several years later, at the age of fifty-two, he became the second youngest four-star general in the history of the United States Army, after only Douglas MacArthur, and succeeded General Matthew Ridgway as NATO's Supreme Allied Commander in Europe (SACEUR) serving from 1953 to 1956.

Early life and military career

Gruenther was born in Platte Center, Nebraska, the son of Mary "Mayme" Shea, a school teacher, and Maximilian Gruenther, a newspaper editor who published the Platte Center Signal.

He attended St. Thomas Academy in Saint Paul, Minnesota. In June 1917, he entered the United States Military Academy at West Point and after studying for nineteen months, graduated early due to the war, on November 1, 1918, with a rank of fourth in a class of 277. He was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Field Artillery but after the Armistice he was recalled to West Point to complete his training, and graduated a second time in June 1919.

Until May 1935, when he was promoted to captain, he served various tours of duty including teaching mathematics, electricity and chemistry at West Point for eight years.

In September 1941, Gruenther, now a major, took part in the Army's Louisiana Maneuvers, the largest war exercises since World War I. Nearly 400,000 troops were involved. His performance was noticed by the Chief of Staff of the General Headquarters, United States Army (GHQ), Lt. Gen. Lesley J. McNair.

In October 1941, Gruenther was promoted to lieutenant colonel, and became deputy chief of staff and then chief of staff of the Third Army as a colonel under Lt. Gen. Walter Krueger, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas. Gruenther's immediate commanding officer was Dwight D. Eisenhower, and the two became bridge partners.

World War II

Gruenther was an adviser and planner to top generals in World War II. He possessed a strong power of analytical reasoning with capacity both to detail and overall perspective for which his colleagues called him "the Brain".

In 1942, he was promoted to brigadier general and became a deputy chief of staff of Allied Force Headquarters in London under Gen. Eisenhower, who assigned him the Operation Torch development. A year later, he was promoted to major general and served as chief of staff of the Fifth Army, and the 15th Army Group under Gen. Mark W. Clark; he was the principal planner of the allied invasions of North Africa in 1942 and Italy in 1943.

Post-war
After the end of World War II in 1945, Gruenther served as deputy commander of U.S. forces in Austria. In 1946-1947, he was appointed deputy commandant of the recently established National War College.

In 1947, he served as Director of the Joint Staff and then Joint Chiefs of Staff in 1947-1949. In 1949, he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant general and served as the U.S. Army's deputy chief of staff for plans and operations.

In 1951, Gruenther was promoted to four-star general and appointed as the Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (COFS SHAPE) under Gen. Eisenhower, who became the Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR). He continued to serve under Gen. Matthew Ridgway and later replaced him as SACEUR. From July 11, 1953 to November 20, 1956, he was Supreme Allied Commander, Europe/Commander in Chief, U.S. European Command (SACEUR/USCINCEUR). On December 31, 1956, Gruenther retired from the Army.

Later years
In the 1956 presidential campaign, Gruenther's name was placed on the list of possible candidates for the Republican nomination after Eisenhower's heart attack on September 24, 1955. After serving two terms, President Eisenhower considered Gruenther as a possible alternative to Richard Nixon for the Republican presidential nomination in 1960, and later suggested Gruenther as a potential vice-president for Nixon, but ultimately realized that Gruenther did not have the political base required to get either place on the ticket.

Gruenther served on the boards of Dart Industries, Inc., New York Life Insurance Company, and Pan American World Airways. He also served on the Draper Committee and several presidential commissions on draft, health and disarmament. He was a president of the English-Speaking Union.

Gruenther died of complications of pneumonia at Walter Reed Army Hospital on May 30, 1983, and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

Family
In 1922, Gruenther married Grace Elizabeth Crum of Jeffersonville, Indiana, who gave birth to two sons, Donald A. Gruenther, and Richard L. Gruenther; they both became career military officers. His great-grandson, USAF Captain Lucas Gruenther died at the age of 32 while flying an F-16 jet fighter on January 28, 2013, during a training mission over the Adriatic Sea.

Head of American Red Cross
From January 1957 to March 1964, he was president of the American Red Cross. As head of the Red Cross, Gruenther personally visited and inspected disaster areas in the United States. He made frequent public appearances, captivating the audience with "easy manner and conversational style." He received several awards for International Red Cross related activities, which included visits to Russia and Poland.

Bridge expert
Being a bridge practitioner, Gruenther published several books on the subject, including Duplicate Contract Complete: A Guide to Playing in and Conducting All Duplicate Bridge Contests, and served as a referee at bridge national tournaments. In 1931, he refereed the Culbertson-Lenz bridge championship in New York City which was dubbed by the press as "The Bridge Battle of the Century". After the West Point superintendent received a complaint about a full-time officer spending nights at bridge tournament, he audited Gruenther's 8 a.m. class. The Superintendent reported to his superiors that, "If I could be certain that being a bridge referee would have the same salutary effect on all the Military Academy's instructors as it has had on Lt. Gruenther, I would demand that they all become bridge referees in their spare time. I have never seen a finer chemistry instructor than Lt. Gruenther." Gruenther was considered the best bridge player in the U.S. Army, and was Dwight D. Eisenhower's favorite partner. Eisenhower was playing bridge when, in 1948, President Truman telephoned him to ask him to take the post of head of NATO, in Paris. On returning to the table, he was asked who he would appoint as his second-in-command. "Well, I ought to take Bedell Smith, but I think I'll take Gruenther because he's the better bridge player". He was an honorary member of the National Laws Commission of the American Contract Bridge League. He served as honorary president of the World Bridge Federation 1958-78.

Recognition
Gen. Eisenhower characterized Gruenther as "one of the ablest all-around officers, civilian or military, I have encountered." Gruenther served with distinction as staff officer in U.S. military operations in the Mediterranean theater of World War II in 1942-1945, and as supreme Allied commander in Europe, during the Cold War in 1953-1956.

In 1952, Gruenther became the youngest four-star general in U.S. history He is also sometimes credited to be the youngest major general in the U.S. Army in World War II, but that distinction belongs to James M. Gavin, who, as commander of the 82nd Airborne Division, was promoted to major general at the age of 37.

Gruenther was featured on the cover of Time magazine on February 6, 1956. He appeared as a guest on the February 10, 1957, episode of the popular TV quiz show What's My Line and on the March 10, 1957, episode of Meet the Press.

Gruenther was the recipient of many national medals, including the Distinguished Service Medal with three oak leaf clusters, and honorary degrees from several American universities, including a Litt.D. from Bates College (1958). Altogether, he had honorary degrees from 38 universities and colleges and decorations from 20 nations.

The Frost Report

The Frost Report is a satirical television show hosted by David Frost. It introduced John Cleese, Ronnie Barker, and Ronnie Corbett to television, and launched the careers of other writers and performers. It premiered on BBC1 on 10 March 1966 and ended on 12 December 1967, with a total of 26 regular episodes over the course of 2 series and 2 specials as well.

Cast and writers
The main cast were Frost, Corbett, Cleese, Barker, Sheila Steafel, and Nicky Henson. Musical interludes were provided by Julie Felix, while Tom Lehrer also performed songs in a few episodes.

Writers and performers on The Frost Report later worked on many other television shows. They included Bill Oddie and Tim Brooke-Taylor (of The Goodies), Barry Cryer, Ronnie Barker, Ronnie Corbett, Dick Vosburgh, Spike Mullins (who would write Corbett's Two Ronnies monologues), Antony Jay (Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister), and future Python members Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin. It was while working on The Frost Report that the future Pythons developed their writing style. The established comedy writer Marty Feldman, as well as the Frank Muir and Denis Norden partnership, were also contributors to the programme.

A special compilation from series 1, titled "Frost over England" (featuring the classic Cleese/Barker/Corbett class sketch, which parodied the British class system) won the Rose d'Or at the 1967 Montreux festival. A special one-off reunion was broadcast on Easter Monday (24 March) 2008. It ran for ninety minutes and was followed by "Frost over England".

Archive status
The entire second series, with the exceptions of "The Frost Report on Women" and the "Frost Over Christmas" special, are missing from the BBC archives and are considered lost. Home recorded audio tapes are known to exist for all of these.

Similar shows
David Frost hosted related comedy shows with similar casts. These included Frost on Sunday in 1968 with the two Ronnies, Josephine Tewson, and Sam Costa. The same year, he presented Frost on Saturday. There was a reunion show, The Frost Report is Back, broadcast in 2008.

"Lord Privy Seal"
A sketch in The Frost Report is responsible for the term "Lord Privy Seal" in the British television industry, meaning the practice of matching too literal imagery with every element of the accompanying spoken script. In the sketch, the practice was taken to an extreme by backing a "news report" about the Lord Privy Seal (a senior Cabinet official) with images, in quick succession, of a lord, a privy, and a seal balancing a ball on its nose.

Mytishchi

Mytishchi (Мыти́щи) is a city and the administrative center of Mytishchinsky District in Moscow Oblast, Russia, which lies 19 km northeast of Russia's capital Moscow on the Yauza River and the Moscow–Yaroslavl railway. The city was an important waypoint for traders on the Yauza River, the Yaroslavl Highway passes through the city. Mytishchi is famous for its aqueduct, built in 1804, the first water supply pipeline to supply the growing population of Moscow. The city has a population of approximately 262,702 people as of.

Geography
The city is located 19 km northeast of Russia's capital Moscow on the Yauza River and the Moscow–Yaroslavl railway.

Climate
Mytishchi has a humid continental climate, which is the same as Moscow but usually a few degrees colder due to significantly lesser impact of urban heat island. The city features long, cold winters (with temperatures as low as -25 C to -30 C occurring every winter and a record low of -43 C), and short, warm-hot summers (with a record high of 38 C and temperatures reaching 30 C every summer). For example, the January daily mean is -10 C, with the average maximum of -7 C and average minimum of -13 C. July's daily mean temperature, on the other hand, is 19 C, with its average maximum being 24 C and its average minimum being 14 C.

History
The first settlement of ancient hunters and fishermen in this location dates back to the 6th–8th millennia BCE, i.e., in the late Stone Age. In the 8th–9th centuries, first Slavic tribes (Vyatichi and Krivichs) began settling here. In and around Mytishchinsky District about a dozen of such settlements from the 11th–13th centuries have been discovered.

The modern settlement has been known as the village Mystiche since 1460, and Bolshiye Mytishchi (Большие Мытищи) since the 19th century. The name comes from the so-called mytnaya (or "myta") duty that was levied on merchants hauling ships (by wheels, rollers or skids) between the Yauza and Klyazma Rivers, collected at the place now known as Yauza mytishche. The word "Mytische" is a portmanteau of myt (мыта) and a place where there was a residential building with a kiln and a hearth.

In 1804, the Mytishchi-Moscow aqueduct was built by order of Catherine the Great. It was the first water supply constructed in Russia to provide the Kremlin with pure water.

The first enterprises were organized in Mytischi in the middle of the 19th Century. Mytischi station, on the Moscow-Yaroslavl railway, opened in 1861, SI Mamontov's car building plant opened in 1896, and Viskova, Russia's first artificial silk company, began work in 1908. Mytischi and its district became a popular summer retreat for Russian holidaymakers from the late 19th and early 20th centuries,.

Mytischi gained city status on August 17, 1925.

In 1932, the territory of the city was significantly expanded, according to the decree of the Presidium of the Moscow Regional Executive Committee No. 8 (minutes No. 56) of October 4, 1932 and the decree of the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of November 20, 1932 that approved it. The settlement merged with the villages of Bolshie Mytishchi, Rupasovo, Sharapovo, Zarechnaya Sloboda, Leonidovka, Perlovka, Taininsky settlements, Druzhba and Taininka.

Population
According to Wikidata, the population of Mytishchi was. Mytishchi is the fourth largest city in Moscow Oblast after Balashikha, Podolsk , Khimki in terms of population.

Administrative and municipal status
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Mytishchi serves as the administrative center of Mytishchinsky District. As an administrative division, it is, together with twenty-four rural localities, incorporated within Mytishchinsky District as the Town of Mytishchi. As a municipal division, the Town of Mytishchi is incorporated within Mytishchinsky Municipal District as Mytishchi Urban Settlement.

Economy

The city is the oblast's largest center for industry (machine building, arms industry in particular) and education. The Mytishchi Machine-Building Plant and Metrovagonmash (a manufacturer of train cars) are two large employers.

The Global 2000 Report to the President

The Global 2000 Report to the President was a 1980 report commissioned by President Jimmy Carter. It warned that world population growth, pollution and resource depletion would have dramatic consequences by the year 2000 if no changes in public policy were made. Physicist Gerald O. Barney was the study director.

The press referred to these volumes as "The Doomsday Report". It was a historical first in trying to analyze the effects of population growth, pollution, and other factors on the worldwide environment and possible political crises.

Volume Two reviewed the potential for global warming and climate change.

According to one reviewer: "'What emerges is a set of global problems of fairly alarming proportions. Serious stresses by the year 2000 are clearly visible in a world more crowded (6.35 billion as compared to 4 billion population in 1975), far more polluted, less stable ecologically, and more vulnerable to disruption. The progressive impoverishment of the world's natural-resource base raises concerns about the earth's capacity to continue to provide for human needs.'"However, the report's impact was limited because Carter lost the 1980 United States presidential election. Ronald Reagan succeeded Carter as president in January 1981 and did not pursue the report's recommendations.

Dopamine receptor D4

The dopamine receptor D4 is a dopamine D2-like G protein-coupled receptor encoded by the gene on chromosome 11 at 11p15.5.

The structure of DRD4 has been reported in complex with the antipsychotic drug nemonapride.

As with other dopamine receptor subtypes, the D4 receptor is activated by the neurotransmitter dopamine. It is linked to many neurological and psychiatric conditions including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, ADHD, addictive behaviors, Parkinson's disease, and eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa. A weak association has been drawn between DRD4 and borderline personality disorder.

It is also a target for drugs which treat schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease. The D4 receptor is considered to be D2-like in which the activated receptor inhibits the enzyme adenylate cyclase, thereby reducing the intracellular concentration of the second messenger cyclic AMP.

Genetics
The human protein is coded by the DRD4 on chromosome 11 located in 11p15.5.

There are slight variations (mutations/polymorphisms) in the human gene:
 * A 48-base pair VNTR in exon 3
 * C-521T in the promoter
 * 13-base pair deletion of bases 235 to 247 in exon 1
 * 12 base pair repeat in exon 1
 * Val194Gly
 * A polymorphic tandem duplication of 48 bp

Mutations in this gene have been associated with various behavioral phenotypes, including autonomic nervous system dysfunction, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, schizophrenia and the personality trait of novelty seeking.

48-base pair VNTR
The 48-base pair variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) in exon 3 range from 2 to 11 repeats. Dopamine is more potent at the D4 receptor with 2 allelic repeat or 7 allelic repeats than the variant with 4 allelic repeats.

DRD4-7R, the 7-repeat (7R) variant of DRD4 (DRD4 7-repeat polymorphism), has been linked to a susceptibility for developing ADHD in several meta-analyses and other psychological traits and disorders. Adults and children with the DRD4 7-repeat polymorphism show variations in auditory-evoked gamma oscillations, which may be related to attention processing.

The frequency of the alleles varies greatly between populations, e.g., the 7-repeat version has high incidence in America and low in Asia. "Long" versions of polymorphisms are the alleles with 6 to 10 repeats. 7R appears to react less strongly to dopamine molecules.

The 48-base pair VNTR has been the subject of much speculation about its evolution and role in human behaviors cross-culturally. The 7R allele appears to have been selected for about 40,000 years ago. In 1999 Chen and colleagues observed that populations who migrated farther in the past 30,000 to 1,000 years ago had a higher frequency of 7R/long alleles. They also showed that nomadic populations had higher frequencies of 7R alleles than sedentary ones. More recently it was observed that the health status of nomadic Ariaal men was higher if they had 7R alleles. However, in recently sedentary (non-nomadic) Ariaal those with 7R alleles seemed to have slightly deteriorated health.

Novelty seeking
Despite early findings of an association between the DRD4 48bp VNTR and novelty seeking (a normal characteristic of exploratory and excitable people), a 2008 meta-analysis compared 36 published studies of novelty seeking  and the polymorphism and found no effect. Results are consistent with novelty-seeking behavior being a complex trait associated with many genes, and the variance attributable to DRD4 by itself being very small. The meta-analysis of 11 studies did find that another polymorphism in the gene, the -521C/T, showed an association with novelty seeking. While human results are not strong, research in animals has suggested stronger associations     and new evidence suggests that human encroachment may exert selection pressure in favor of DRD4 variants associated with novelty seeking.

Cognition
Several studies have shown that agonists that activate the D4 receptor increase working memory performance and fear acquisition in monkeys and rodents according to a U-shaped dose response curve. However, antagonists of the D4 receptor reverse stress-induced or drug-induced working memory deficits. Gamma oscillations, which may be correlated with cognitive processing, can be increased by D4R agonists, but are not significantly reduced by D4R antagonists.

Cognitive development
Several studies have suggested that parenting may affect the cognitive development of children with the 7-repeat allele of DRD4. Parenting that has maternal sensitivity, mindfulness, and autonomy–support at 15 months was found to alter children's executive functions at 18 to 20 months. Children with poorer quality parenting were more impulsive and sensation seeking than those with higher quality parenting. Higher quality parenting was associated with better executive control in 4-year-olds.

Talk:Weapon X

Untitled
Seriously: Lee Harvey Oswald? It looks like most of this list is original research. Unless someone can confirm that these characters were actually canonically linked to the Weapon Plus Project rather than generic government agencies/concpiracies, I'm going to remove them. -Sean Curtin 03:16, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

Arguably?
I think we all know Wolverine IS the most well-known Weapon X experiment. ;) Solofire6 02:08, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Cleanup
Explaining the cleanup tag: This article's a bit rag-tag. For instance, the second paragraph: "The Weapon X Project was first called by that name in 1991. According to Grant Morrison's run on New X-Men in 2002, Weapon X was only the most successful in an entire series of a such projects, collectively known as the Weapon Plus Project, and the X in "Weapon X" referred not to the letter X, but to the Roman numeral for the number 10."--Chris Griswold 04:10, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Weapon Zero
Shouldn't there be a weapon zero section? --Basique 16:23, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, I think the bulk of this article should be moved to Weapon Plus and this article can stand to discuss Weapon X. --Chris Griswold 01:21, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Split
This article should be split into two separate articles: --Gonzalo84 17:14, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * One for Weapon Plus, covering all installations of the project including a brief mention of Weapon X, including its history prior to its separation from the larger Weapon Plus and the interactions between the two following the separation.
 * A second article devoted exclusively to the Weapon X Project.

 * Support I think there's enough content to support two different articles. EVula 17:16, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Support I have been thinking this for days. I don't think you even need to discuss this. I don't see much opposition. --Chris Griswold 07:08, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Done... see Weapon Plus--Gonzalo84 23:08, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Neverland
We say which known mutants were in the camp, but could we specify which ones died as well?

Also, should all the test subjects be listed in the infobox, or just the notable ones? --JB Adder | Talk 12:36, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

The article is kind of vague as to what happened to the Neverland camp. I never read the series; did Cable and his team destroy it, did it wind down, what? Sabine's Sunbird talk 06:52, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

The "WEAPON X" timeline
"Before Wolverine, there was Weapon X"

Len Wein, the co-creator and writer of Wolverine, first referred to Wolverine by his military designation of "Weapon X" during his first appearance in INCREDIBLE HULK #181 from October, 1974.

In the story WEAPON X from 1991 by Barry Windsor Smith, only Logan's codename is designated as "Weapon X", while the project itself is always referred to as "Experiment X".

WOLVERINE #50 from January, 1992 refers to "Project X" by writer Larry Hama.

"Experiment X" was retconned into the "Weapon X Project" by writer Larry Hama in WOLVERINE #62 from October, 1992.

Writer Grant Morrison, retconned Wolverine's codename from "Weapon X" into "Weapon 10" in NEW X-MEN #129 from September, 2002.

Writer Frank Tieri created the resurrected "Weapon X Project" storyline in WEAPON X #1 from November, 2002.

 * I'm not up to speed on Wade "Deadpool" Wilson (who first appeared in NEW MUTANTS #98 from February, 1991), or Garrison "Weapon X" Kane (who first appeared in X-FORCE #2 from September, 1991) and the history of their designation as "Weapon X" by their creator, writer Fabian Nicienza.

To my knowledge, it was Larry Hama who created the actual "Weapon X Project" retcon, and first coined the term we use for this article.74.244.63.126 00:32, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

X2: Wolverine's Revenge
Shouldn't the game X2: Wolverine's Revenge me mentioned? The beginning of the game covers Logan's escape from the facility and Sabretooth's involvement with the program. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.18.97.173 (talk) 05:10, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Toongabbie railway station

Toongabbie railway station is located on the Main Western line, serving the Sydney suburb of Toongabbie. It is served by Sydney Trains T1 Western and T5 Cumberland line services.

History
Toongabbie station opened on 26 April 1880. The station was a small, unattended conditional stopping place. The first platform was on the northern side of the track. When the line was duplicated in March 1886, an additional platform was added on the south side of the tracks. A disc on the end of a five-foot pole was held up by intending passengers to stop the train.

The “Toongabbee” station is listed on the 2nd subdivision of the Darcyville estate in 1886, part of the estate of the late D'Arcy Wentworth, which stretched from Toongabbie to Westmead.

The station was rebuilt in the 1940s when the Main Western line was quadrupled. In 2018, work was completed on an accessibility upgrade which like its neighbouring stations Pendle Hill and Wentworthville included a new concourse, footbridge and lifts as part of the Station Accessibility Upgrade Program.

Transport links
CDC NSW operates two bus routes via Toongabbie station, under contract to Transport for NSW:
 * 705: Parramatta station to Blacktown station via Pendle Hill, Seven Hills & Lalor Park
 * 711: Parramatta station to Blacktown station via Westmead Hospital, Seven Hills & Lalor Park

Toongabbie station is served by two NightRide routes:
 * N70: S to Town Hall station
 * N71: S to Town Hall station

New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene

The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (also known as NYC Health) is the department of the government of New York City responsible for public health along with issuing birth certificates, dog licenses, and conducting restaurant inspection and enforcement. The New York City Board of Health is part of the department. Its regulations are compiled in title 24 of the New York City Rules (the New York City Health Code). Since March 2022, the commissioner has been Ashwin Vasan.

History
The department was initially set up as the Health Committee (later Commission), a quasi-governmental public health group in response to a yellow fever outbreak in Philadelphia in 1793. Governor John Jay made a proclamation on 13 September 1793 to establish this to regulate the ports of the city and ensure proper quarantines. Three days later, the city, under the leadership of Mayor Richard Varick, created a tandem committee that ensured both private and commercial needs would be addressed. New York would see additional epidemics in 1795, 1796, 1798, 1799, and 1800, which lead to the creation of the 'New York City Board of Health', which held its first meeting in 1805.

In 1866, the New York State legislature enacted a bill establishing the 'Metropolitan Board of Health', consisting of the four Police Commissioners, four Health Commissioners appointed by the Governor, and the Health Officer for the Port of New York. In 1870, the legislature replaced the Board of Health with the Department of Health, with additional responsibilities including street cleaning and sanitary permits.

As of December 1894, Charles G. Wilson was serving as President of the Board of Health.

As a result of its consolidation with the Department of Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Alcoholism Services, it was renamed the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene on July 29, 2002. In 2021, Michelle E. Morse was named the first Chief Medical Officer of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

Organization
NYC is organized into 30 health districts (sometimes referred to as health center districts), themselves composed of 354 health areas which are sets of census tracts. NYC is also organized into 17 mental health regions.

The departmental hierarchy is:
 * New York City Board of Health

WHAT DOES MENIONAING MEAN MACHINE UN THE OPENING PARAGRAPH HAVE TO DO WITH THE LONGEST YARD —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.166.218.7 (talk) 19:31, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Mean Machine
There is some confusion here. There was indeed a British re-make called "Mean Machine" (2001). However "The Longest Yard" (1974) was originally released in the UK as "Mean Machine" and the titles and opening credits had a UK version, and it was not called "The Longest Yard". Recently British TV screenings of this film have reverted to the US version "The Longest Yard" and you just don't see the UK version "Mean Machine" anymore. Hope that answers your question. Maybe the UK variant title needs a mention in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.133.140.189 (talk) 09:39, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp

The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp is the first Western television series written for adults. It premiered four days before Gunsmoke on September 6, 1955. Two weeks later came the Clint Walker western Cheyenne. The series is loosely based on the life of frontier marshal Wyatt Earp. The half-hour, black-and-white program aired for six seasons (229 episodes) on ABC from 1955 to 1961, with Hugh O'Brian in the title role.

Plot
The first season of the series purports to tell the story of Wyatt's experiences as deputy town marshal of Ellsworth, Kansas (first four episodes), and then as town marshal in Wichita. In the second episode of the second season, first aired September 4, 1956, he is hired as assistant city marshal of Dodge City, where the setting remained for three seasons. The final episode set in Dodge City (Season 5, Episode 1 - "Dodge City: Hail and Farewell") aired on September 1, 1959. Beginning the next week on September 8, 1959 (Season 5, Episode 2 - "The Trail to Tombstone"), the locale shifted to Tombstone, Arizona Territory, for the remainder of the series.

Guest cast
On September 25, 1956, Myron Healey played a drunken gunfighter Clay Allison, who comes into Dodge City to confront the Earp legend. In the story line, Pete Albright, a storeowner played by Charles Fredricks, tries to hire Allison to gun down Earp because the marshal is fighting crime in the town and costing merchants business in the process. Allison makes a point of not taking money, but is willing to challenge Earp until he is overcome by his own drunkenness. Mike Ragan played Clay Allison in a 1957 episode, "The Time for All Good Men".

Development
The series was produced by Desilu Productions and filmed at the Desilu-Cahuenga Studio. Sponsors included General Mills, Procter & Gamble, and Parker Pen Company. Off-camera the Ken Darby singers, a choral group, sang the theme song and hummed the background music. The theme song "The Legend of Wyatt Earp" was composed by Harry Warren. Incidental music was composed by Herman Stein.

Casting
O'Brian was chosen for the role in part because of his physical resemblance to early photographs of Wyatt Earp.

Douglas Fowley and Myron Healey were cast 49 and 10 times, respectively, as Earp's close friend John H. "Doc" Holliday.

Mason Alan Dinehart, or Alan Dinehart, III, son of film stars Alan Dinehart and Mozelle Britton, was cast in 34 episodes between 1955 and 1959 as Bat Masterson, a role filled on the NBC series of the same name by the late Gene Barry. Dinehart played Masterson from the ages of 19 to 23.

Many episodes show Douglas Fowley as playing the part of Doc Fabrique when he actually is not in the episodes. O'Flynn was left off the credits most of the time.

Bob Steele played Wyatt's deputy, Sam, in four episodes in 1955 during the Wichita period.

Use of Buntline Special
In the show, O'Brian carried a Buntline Special, a pistol with a 12-inch barrel, which triggered a mild toy craze at the time the series was originally broadcast. No credible evidence has been found that Wyatt Earp ever owned such a gun. The myth of Earp carrying a Buntline Special was created in Stuart N. Lake's best-selling 1931 biography Wyatt Earp: Frontier Marshal, later admitted by the author to be highly fictionalized.

Historical accuracy
In contrast to the always-ethical character portrayed in the series, the real-life Wyatt Earp was at various times on either side of the law, having been accused of horse stealing, criminal assault, and involvement with fight-fixing, gambling, prostitution, and murders.

The real Wyatt Earp was elected town constable of Lamar, Missouri, in 1870, and became a Wichita, Kansas policeman in 1873. He was appointed as an assistant marshal in Dodge City around May 1876, spent the winter of 1876–77 in Deadwood, Dakota Territory, and rejoined the Dodge City police force as an assistant marshal in spring 1877. He resigned his position in September 1879.

Earp is depicted as the town marshal in Tombstone, although his brother Virgil Earp was Deputy U.S. Marshal and Tombstone City Marshal. As city marshal, Virgil made the decision to enforce a city ordinance prohibiting carrying weapons in town and to disarm the outlaw cowboys that led to the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. Wyatt was only a temporary assistant marshal to his brother.

Ratings
The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp finished number 18 in the Nielsen ratings for the 1956–1957 season, number six in 1957–1958, number 10 in 1958–1959, and number 20 in 1959–1960.

Awards
The series received two Emmy nominations in 1957. Hugh O'Brian was nominated for Best Continuing Performance by an Actor, and Dan Ullman earned a nomination for Best Teleplay Writing - Half Hour or Less.

Home media
Infinity Entertainment Group released the complete first season on DVD in Region 1 for the first time on April 21, 2009. This release has been discontinued and is now out of print. On October 28, 2011, Inception Media Group acquired the rights to the series. It subsequently re-released the first season on DVD on December 13, 2011. Season two was released on March 12, 2013.

Related shows
O'Brian recreated the role of Earp in two episodes of the CBS television series Guns of Paradise (1990) alongside Gene Barry as Bat Masterson and again in 1991 in The Gambler Returns: The Luck of the Draw, also with Barry as Masterson. An independent movie, Wyatt Earp: Return to Tombstone, was released in 1994 featuring new footage of O'Brian as Earp mixed with flashbacks consisting of colorized scenes from the original series. The new sequences co-starred Bruce Boxleitner (who had himself played Earp in the telefilm I Married Wyatt Earp), Paul Brinegar (who later joined the Rawhide cast), Harry Carey, Jr. (who had, a year earlier, played Marshal Fred White in Tombstone), and Bo Hopkins.

With the emergence of television in the 1950s, producers spun out a large number of Western-oriented shows. At the height of their popularity in 1959, more than two dozen "cowboy" programs were on weekly. At least five others were connected to some extent with Wyatt Earp: Bat Masterson, Tombstone Territory, Broken Arrow, Johnny Ringo, and Gunsmoke.

Episodes of The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp are rebroadcast on the cable television network, Grit. Two episodes of the show are aired daily on Cozi TV. It can also be found on some streaming services, such as Tubi.

Electric bell

An electric bell is a mechanical or electronic bell that functions by means of an electromagnet. When an electric current is applied, it produces a repetitive buzzing, clanging or ringing sound. Electromechanical bells have been widely used at railroad crossings, in telephones, fire and burglar alarms, as school bells, doorbells, and alarms in industrial areas, since the late 1800s, but they are now being widely replaced with electronic sounders. An electric bell consists of one or more electromagnets, made of a coil of insulated wire around an iron bar, which attract an iron strip armature with a clapper.

How they work
The most widely used form is the interrupter bell, which is a mechanical bell that produces a continuous sound when current is applied. See animation, above. The bell or gong (B), which is often in the shape of a cup or half-sphere, is struck by a spring-loaded arm (A) with a metal ball on the end called a clapper, actuated by an electromagnet (E). In its rest position the clapper is held away from the bell a short distance by its springy arm. When the switch (K) is closed, an electric current passes from the battery (U) through the winding of the electromagnet. It creates a magnetic field that attracts the iron arm of the clapper, pulling it over to give the bell a tap. This opens a pair of electrical contacts (T) attached to the clapper arm, interrupting the current to the electromagnet. The magnetic field of the electromagnet collapses, and the clapper springs away from the bell. This closes the contacts again, allowing the current to flow to the electromagnet again, so the magnet pulls the clapper over to strike the bell again. This cycle repeats rapidly, many times per second, resulting in a continuous ringing.

The tone of the sound generated depends on the shape and size of the bell or gong resonator. Where several bells are installed together, they may be given distinctive rings by using different size or shapes of gong, even though the strike mechanisms are identical.

Another type, the single-stroke bell, has no interrupting contacts. The hammer strikes the gong once each time the circuit is closed. These are used to signal brief notifications, such as a shop door opening for a customer, rather than continuous warnings.

Buzzers
An electric buzzer uses a similar mechanism to an interrupter bell, but without the resonant bell. They are quieter than bells, but adequate for a warning tone over a small distance, such as across a desktop.

A buzzer or beeper is an audio signalling device, which may be mechanical, electromechanical, or piezoelectric. Typical uses of buzzers and beepers include alarm devices, timers and confirmation of user input such as a mouse click or keystroke.

With the development of low cost electronics from the 1970s onwards, most buzzers have now been replaced by electronic 'sounders'. These replace the electromechanical striker of a bell with an electronic oscillator and a loudspeaker, often a piezoelectric transducer.

Single-stroke bells
The first commercial electric bells were used for railway signalling, between signal boxes. Complex bell codes were used to indicate the types of train passing between signal boxes, and the destinations to which they should be routed.

These were single-stroke bells: applying current to an electromagnet pulled the bell's clapper against the bell or gong and gave one chime. The bell did not ring continuously, but only with a single ring, until current was applied again. To sustain the tone, these bells were usually much larger than are used today with interrupter bells. Bells, gongs and spiral chimes could all be used, giving a distinct tone for each instrument.

A simple development of the single-stroke bell was the sprung bell. This had previously been used, mechanically actuated, for servant-call bells in large houses. Instead of working a clapper, the electromagnet shook the whole bell, which was mounted on a flexible spiral spring. The inertia of the heavy bell on the light spring would continue ringing for some seconds after the stroke. Although the sound would rapidly die away, the visible trembling of the bell could indicate which bell had been rung, amongst a panel of several.

Telephones
Landline telephone bells were powered by 60 to 500 volts RMS at between 16 and 25 Hertz AC. and a different design, the polarised bell, was used. These have an armature containing a permanent magnet, so that this is alternately attracted and repelled by each half-phase and different polarity of the supply. In practice, the armature is arranged symmetrically with two poles of opposite polarity facing each end of the coil, so that each may be attracted in turn. No contact breaker is required, so such bells are reliable for long service. In some countries, notably the UK, the clapper struck two different sized bells in turn giving a very distinctive ring.

Fire alarms
Fire alarm bells are divided into two categories: vibrating, and single-stroke. On a vibrating bell, the bell will ring continuously until the power is cut off. When power is supplied to a single-stroke bell, the bell will ring once and then stop. It will not ring again until power is turned off and on again. These were frequently used with coded pull stations.

Power sources
Electric bells are typically designed to operate on low voltages of from 5 to 24 V AC or DC. Before widespread distribution of electric power, bells were necessarily powered by batteries, either wet-cell or dry-cell type. Bells used in early telephone systems derived current by a magneto generator cranked by the subscriber. In residential applications, a small bell-ringing transformer is usually used to power the doorbell circuit. So that bell circuits can be made with low-cost wiring methods, bell signal circuits are limited in voltage and power rating. Bells for industrial purposes may operate on other, higher, AC or DC voltages to match plant voltages or available standby battery systems.

History
The interrupter bell evolved from various oscillating electromechanical mechanisms which were devised following the invention of the electromagnet by William Sturgeon in 1823. One of the first was the oscillating electric wire invented by James Marsh in 1824. This consisted of a wire pendulum dipping into a mercury trough, suspended between the poles of an electromagnet. When current was passed through the wire, the force of the magnet made the wire swing sideways, out of the mercury, which broke the current to the magnet, so the wire fell back. The modern electric bell mechanism had its origin in vibrating "contact breaker" or interrupter mechanisms devised to break the primary current in induction coils. Vibrating "hammer" interrupters were invented by Johann Philipp Wagner (1839) and Christian Ernst Neeff (1847), and was developed into a buzzer by Froment (1847). John Mirand around 1850 added a clapper and gong to make the standard electric bell for use as a telegraph sounder. Other types were invented around that time by Siemens and Halske and by Lippens. The polarized (permanent magnet) bell used in telephones, which appeared about 1860, had its beginning in the polarized relay and telegraph developed by Werner Siemens around 1850.

Talk:Robert Richard Torrens

Untitled
Sir Robert Torrens was born in 1812, not in 1814 (see the Wakefield Companion to South Australian History. A man born in Ireland is a nIrishman, though the articles calls him an Australia. The River Torrens was named after Colonel Torrens, his father, not Sir Robert.
 * I don't have that book. Please add it as an external reference, and fix the dates if required. The article says he was born in Ireland, but was an Australian politician (ie a politician in Australia). It seems he was also an English politician, in the British House of Commons. --ScottDavis 04:46, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Robert Torrens' father (also Robert Torrens) at least was a member of the House of Commons. He's referred to as Colonel Robert Torrens in the article (John Stuart Mill writes of him as "Colonel Torrens"). The Germans have an article on the father: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Torrens EnSamulili 17:52, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

Supposed date of birth: 31 May 1814
This was added on 30 September 2009, over three years ago, by this edit. The anonymous editor provided no edit summary and no citation. All of their 6 edits to Wikipedia were made on that day.

I can find no independent corroboration of the date. It has no authority, and the edit was clearly vandalistic.

I have now edited it out. Better late than never. --  Jack of Oz   [Talk]  04:13, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Year of Birth
Support for 1814 as his year of birth may be found in the (Adelaide) Express and Telegraph obituary, which says (in 1884) he had reached the age of 70 years. Weak perhaps, however its competitor, the South Australian Advertiser gives a number of milestones in his life, including 1814 as his YOB. The third Adelaide daily, the Register, gives no date, but its weekly, the Observer is adamant: 1814.

I have been unable to find any controversy in the newspapers, even from A. T. Saunders, who delighted in contradicting accepted wisdom, especially such articles as this by Fred Johns in the PS Review. Coming to the 20th century, the Encyclopedia Britannica; Australian Dictionary of Biography; Dictionary of National Biography (1885-1900); Heaton's Australian Dictionary of Dates and Men of the Time; Webster's Biographical Dictionary (two quite different editions); and Dictionary of Australian Biography; all give 1814, nem con, not to mention modern, and clearly derivative, collections such as What Happened When and Macquarie People and Places. None gives a day or month.

This does not make them right of course — they copy from each other — but that date stood for a long time before the Oxford DNB, Wakefield History and the SA Historical Society. Doug butler (talk) 00:29, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Assuming 1812 is correct, I wonder if the "70 years" published by the Express and Telegraph only meant as an indication, but taken as precise, leading to an ineradicable and self-reinforcing furphy ? Doug butler (talk) 03:14, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

Yummy Yummy

Yummy Yummy (, also known as Food for Life) is an episodic drama filmed by Singapore's SPH MediaWorks and Hong Kong's Television Broadcasts Limited in a joint collaboration. It was released in August 2005. The series is notable for being one of the few Singaporean co-productions in a language other than English or Mandarin Chinese.

Plot
After meeting on game show called Yummy Yummy, five contestants keep in touch and become friends. They face with a number of challenges as they attempt to open a restaurant together, but in the end their friendships persevere.

Daniel Yau is the only son of a wealthy restaurant owner. Chan Ka Lok is a poor, but nice boy who works at his family's shop that sells chickens. Mandy Chow is an orphan who learned to be independent after her parents were divorced and her mother died. Yan Chow is the younger sister of Mandy and loves to eat dried foods, especially dried lemons. Mandy and Yan did not know they were sisters until they became good friends. Terry Ng lives in Singapore with his bossy mother and quiet father.

Terry joined Yummy Yummy because he discovered that the contestants would receive the chance to go to Hong Kong. Terry's girlfriend, Jane lived in Hong Kong and he wanted to find her. Chan Ka Bo is the younger sister of Chan Ka Lok. She met Terry because he was one of her brother's good friends. Yuko Leong is the only daughter of a wealthy businessman. She is a rich, spoiled girl who lived in Singapore.

Daniel met Yuko while the contestants of Yummy Yummy visited Singapore. She accused Daniel of scratching her BMW because she saw him touching the scar on her car.

Talk:Malcolm Fraser

Terminology and numbering
There is an ongoing discussion here which has turned to concern Malcolm Fraser, specifically how to describe his (or at least the beginning of his) and other Prime Minister's premierships and how to number them. It would be very much appreciated if any interested editors could join in and voice their thoughts on the matter! Thanks! FollowTheTortoise (talk) 11:26, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

Want to add headings for the section Prime Minister (1975-1983)
User:Skyring you are the one who reverted my edits. What are your thoughts on my proposed changes?  Ak-eater06  (talk) 23:47, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
 * 1. We've had too much malarky recently over images. I went back to a good version. 2. The section is headed: "Prime Minister (1975–1983)", immediately following a section on how he got the job. We don't need the introduction to his PM section given a heading. 3. Unless you have a pretty good idea of how his government went, I'm not sure that arbitrary divisions are the way to go. Do they really call out the important moments in his term? How much research have you done on this bloke? There's a lot of us lived through that period and have had the advantage of reading forty years of analysis.--Pete (talk) 01:51, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

User:Skyring it is helpful to add headings for foreign readers. On Bob Hawke, there are headings on Bob Hawke. Why can't we do this for Fraser?  Ak-eater06  (talk) 03:48, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I have no objections to these headings - but only if the paragraphs within each of these headings are greatly expanded, and properly cited of course. Thescrubbythug (talk) 05:46, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Are you prepared to expand these paragraphs with greater details, and to properly cite them & include any missing citations ? Thescrubbythug (talk) 11:02, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I've no objections to the proposed sub-headings. GoodDay (talk) 21:27, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

the same photo taken over just 6 years 3 times
Do we really need 3 very similar photos of Fraser over just 6 years? I've removed one (the 1966 pic) but happy with alternative removed. Or maybe even there's even room to remove two.

The three pics below, and here's a diff of how they look in the article.

thoughts? --Merbabu (talk) 23:24, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

 * They are similar, yes - though they also each represent Fraser at different points of his political career. The 62 photo is a representation of Fraser as a backbencher under Menzies, while the 66 photo represents Fraser as a junior minister under Holt - and the 68 photo as a more senior Cabinet minister under Gorton. Thescrubbythug (talk) 05:30, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi there - yes, I understand that they are different periods of time (as far apart as every 3 years on average) and in different roles. Indeed that's why i provided the captions here on the talk page. Yet, it's essentially the same picture 3 times over a period of 6 years. If we were to apply that across the whole article and have for every 3 years, we would have almost 30 photos and a very crowded article.
 * The page was over crowded at that spot and I don't see a need for essentially the same photo every 3 years. They are just posed portraits with no other subject matter. Anyway, that's just my view. --Merbabu (talk) 06:10, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
 * The 1966 one is the best photograph of the lot and for me that would reason to retain it in the article. The dates need to be taken with a pinch of salt as the National Archives is pretty unreliable. Ivar the Boneful (talk) 09:47, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I ended up changing up the photos a little - not making use of any of those three in question. I added one taken immediately after Fraser's election to Parliament, as well as a completely different image of Fraser during the Gorton Government. I do think of more immediate concern than that of image selections for this article is the paragraphs to do with his political career - nearly all of which I think are in need of great expansion.

Bart Bryant

Barton Holan Bryant (November 18, 1962 – May 31, 2022) was an American professional golfer who played on the PGA Tour and PGA Tour Champions.

Early life
Bryant was born in Gatesville, Texas, the son of a Baptist pastor. He attended New Mexico State University, where he was a two-time All-American as a member of the golf team.

Professional career
Bryant turned professional in 1986.

Bryant did not win on the PGA Tour until his 187th start, the 2004 Valero Texas Open. His entire career was plagued by injuries and he graduated from PGA Tour Q School six times before his win. At 41 he was the oldest first time winner on the tour in nine years. In 2005 he won the Memorial Tournament and the season ending Tour Championship to finish ninth on the money list with earnings of $3,249,136, which was more than he had earned in total in his first eighteen seasons on the PGA and Nationwide tours from 1986 to 2003, during which his best money list finish on the main tour was 80th. His good run of form also propelled him into the top-50 of the Official World Golf Ranking.

The win at Memorial was particularly memorable. Bryant's tee shot on the 72nd hole found a hazard. He was able to get it up and down for par and secure his one-shot victory over Fred Couples.

Bryant's elder brother Brad has won on both the PGA Tour and the Champions Tour.

Bryant won his first Champions Tour event at the 2013 Dick's Sporting Goods Open, making him the 1,000th winner in Champions Tour history.

Personal life
Bryant was married to the former Cathy Cox for 34 years until she died of brain cancer in April 2017.

Death
Bryant died on May 31, 2022, after a truck hit his car in Polk City, Florida, at the age of 59.

Hans-Jürgen Syberberg

Hans-Jürgen Syberberg (born 8 December 1935) is a German film director, whose best known film is his lengthy feature Hitler: A Film from Germany.

Early life
Born in Nossendorf, Pomerania, the son of an estate owner, Syberberg lived until 1945 in Rostock and Berlin. In 1952 and 1953 he created his first 8 mm takes of rehearsals by the Berliner Ensemble. In 1953 he moved to West Germany, where he in 1956 began studies in literature and art history, completing them the following year. He earned his doctorate in Munich with his thesis on "The Absurd in Dürrenmatt." In 1963 Syberberg began producing documentary films about Fritz Kortner and Romy Schneider for Bavarian Radio and others.

Cinema
For Syberberg, cinema is a form of Gesamtkunstwerk. Many commentators, including Syberberg himself, have characterized his work as a cinematic combination of Bertolt Brecht's doctrine of epic theatre and Richard Wagner's operatic aesthetics. Well known philosophers and intellectuals have written about his work, including Susan Sontag, Gilles Deleuze and Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe.

In 1975 Syberberg released Winifried Wagner und die Geschichte des Hauses Wahnfried von 1914–1975 (English title: The Confessions of Winifred Wagner), a documentary about Winifred Wagner, an Englishwoman who had married Richard Wagner's son Siegfried. The documentary attracted attention because it exposed Mrs Wagner's unrepentant admiration for Adolf Hitler. The film thus proved an embarrassment to the Wagner family and the Bayreuth Festival (which she had run from 1930 until the end of the Second World War). Winifred Wagner objected to the inclusion in the film of conversations she did not know were being recorded.

Syberberg is also noted for an acclaimed visual interpretation of the Wagner opera Parsifal in 1982.

A quarter of a century after his last previous film, Syberberg released the three hours long documentary Demminer Chants in 2023. The film is about the town Demmin in north-eastern Germany, where Syberberg grew up and where he has made attempts to reestablish the central market square as a communal space. The film looks at urban planning and the future of local communities.

Comments on culture and politics
Syberberg's work has attracted criticism at least since the publication of the film script of Hitler: A Film from Germany, particularly from the Left, who were amongst many targets of his criticism in that book. In later essays, although he never presented himself as a conservative or sympathizer with German nationalism, his comments began to scandalize a broad spectrum of writers and critics in Germany and elsewhere. Even Susan Sontag, who had written the introduction to the English translation of the book version of Hitler: A Film from Germany, was reportedly shocked by some of his later statements, though she claimed that her feelings about his films were unaffected.

In one notorious example Syberberg wrote in Vom Unglück und Glück der Kunst in Deutschland nach dem letzten Kriege (On the Misfortune and Fortune of Art in Germany after the Last War, 1990):

"'Whoever joined the Jews and the leftists was successful, and it did not necessarily have anything to do with love, or understanding, or even inclination. How could Jews tolerate that, being that these others only wanted power.'"

Ian Buruma, in the New York Review of Books, quotes several of Syberberg's controversial statements. Syberberg described modern German art as "filthy and sick... in praise of cowardice and treason, of criminals, whores, of hate, ugliness, of lies and crimes and all that is unnatural." He also wrote that:

"'The Jewish interpretation of the world followed upon the Christian, just as the Christian one followed Roman and Greek culture. So now Jewish analyses, images, definitions of art, science, sociology, literature, politics, the information media, dominate. Marx and Freud are the pillars that mark the road from East to West. Neither are imaginable without Jewishness. Their systems are defined by it. The axis USA-Israel guarantees the parameters. That is the way people think now, the way they feel, act and disseminate information. We live in the Jewish epoch of European cultural history. And we can only wait, at the pinnacle of our technological power, for our last judgment at the edge of the apocalypse…. So that's the way it looks, for all of us, suffocating in unprecedented technological prosperity, without spirit, without meaning... Those who want to have good careers go along with Jews and leftists [and] the race of superior men [Rasse der Herrenmenschen] has been seduced, the land of poets and thinkers has become the fat booty of corruption, of business, of lazy comfort.'"

Buruma writes: "'It is not for his aesthetics, however, that Syberberg has been attacked, but for his politics. The strongest criticism of his book was published in Der Spiegel, the liberal weekly magazine. Syberberg's views, wrote the critic, were precisely those that led to the book burning in 1933, and prepared the way for the Final Solution of 1942. In fact, he went on, they are worse, for 'now we know that they are caked with blood…. They are not just abstruse nonsense, they are criminal.' The Spiegel critic compared Syberberg to the young Hitler, the failed art student in Vienna, who rationalized his failure by blaming it on a conspiracy of left-wing Jews. Syberberg feels he is an unappreciated genius, and he too blames it on the same forces."

"'Frank Schirrmacher, the young literary editor of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, and the scourge of woolly thinkers of all political persuasions, is equally opposed to Syberberg and draws similar parallels with the Twenties and Thirties. And like the critic in Der Spiegel, he singles out for special censure an interview with Die Zeit in which Syberberg claimed that he 'could understand' the feeling of the SS man on the railway ramp of Auschwitz, who, in Himmler's words, 'made himself hard' for the sake of fulfilling his mission to the end. He did not admire this feeling, but he could understand it. Just as he could understand its opposite, the rejection of principles to act humanely.'"

Personal life
Syberberg currently resides mainly on his family estate in Nossendorf which he has bought back and restored, but has a secondary residence in Munich.
