Talk:Office suite

Cleanup
In the Proprietary suites section i noticed that three of the suites do not have an independant article in wikipedia and i propose for removal of the same.Kalivd (talk) 14:27, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Yep. Go for it. -- Swerdnaneb 17:16, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I have finished the removal of those three proprietary suitesKalivd (talk) 14:57, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Also I have noticed that there are too many tables in the article page, can any editor with thorough knowledge about this article improve and cut the tables short because the article itself is very long which might mislead the viewer or the person reading. Kalivd (talk) 14:57, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Recent revert
This edit made the article internally inconsistent, using the terms "Linux" and "GNU/Linux" interchangeably. This is confusing; we should use one or the other. It should be reverted. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 18:02, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

KOffice availablility for Windows and Mac OSX
I just reverted an edit that said KOffice relied on something called 'K emulator' under Windows and so was not native. This is patently not true; KEmulator does exist but it seems to be to do with games from portable devices and certainly nothing to do with KOffice. It may be true that KOffice requires KDE to be installed first, but that is a set of libraries, not an emulator. I can't find any confirmation of this, though.

I just wrote about this on the KOffice talk page. I suggest we try to get both articles to be up-to-date, true, referenced and consistent in this area as soon as we find out if I'm just missing something here. --Nigelj (talk) 20:03, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Google Store and Citation Request for Microsoft binary file format being supplanted
Not sure how smoothly this ties in, but in the article's second paragraph, a citation was requested to show attempt(s) to replace MS' productivity suite file format. Google plans to offer a Google Store in March 2010, open to third party app and API developers, which would allow people to store Google docs. This would have the effect of supplanting productivity suites in general and Microsoft Office specifically.

Indicated Celframe Office features misleading
The table lists numerous impressive, exceptional features. But read the fine print for footnote 14:
 * Not included in this office suite, but provided in the Desktop Environment.

This is rather significant. Perhaps the color tone on the chart should be adjusted. Otherwise, I feel mislead. I found no reference for project management software for Celframe in the Internet, yet the chart in this wikipedia article makes a reference to it. Very misleading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dogru144 (talk • contribs) 05:24, 12 July 2010

Online office suite: Windows Live Office
I added Windows Live Office to the Online office suites section. I hope someone can add the Live Office to the comparison tables below. Thanks. --130.83.20.73 (talk) 14:49, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

top 5 comparison
I'm sorry to all those who want as much information as they possibly can get but these lists overwhelm me.

I would much prefer to just compare the top 3-5 ish so I can actually compare them instead of having to jump around the list hunting a pecking for the right information.

After all how much of the market does the top 3-5 ish have?

Also I don't know if I have to sign this so I will anyway.tumaru 18:49, 29 April 2011 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tumaru (talk • contribs)

Talk:Douglas Tottle

Historical revisionist
I have moved this talk section from Talk:Historical revisionism (political) as currently no entry for Douglas Tottle exists on that page and it may help someone turn this article from a stub into a full page. --Philip Baird Shearer 09:59, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

User:Scrib I moved your contribution here from the Article for further discussion because I have reverted it twice and I do not want to get into a revert war:
 * Many Historians, Communists, Socialists, and others have been reexamining evidence in regard to the so-called forced famines and some 20 millions killed in the gulags of the Soviet Union. One of the people most cited for this case is Douglas Tottle, a Canadian journalist who wrote the book Fraud, Famine, and Fascism which discusses how William Randolph Hearst a multi-millionaire owner of much media colaborated with the Nazis to blame them for a 1932 Famine. Tottle claims that this frauded evidence was later taken up by the CIA for use during the Cold War and used by Robert Conquest a former British secret service agent and Alexander Solzhenitsyn (a Fascist sympathizer) to again slander the Soviet Union. Much of this same information was used by a member of the Communist Party of Sweden to disprove the famines and 20 million killed. This source is cited a lot by Marxist-Leninists and Maoists

 * "Many Historians" is a weasel phrase who are these historians? Do you have a source which lists them?
 * "to the so-called forced famines" I object to Wikipidia making this assertion. Most historians recogise that the famines were in a large part created through political circumstances, and were not the result of a natural disaster.
 * You cite a Wikipedia page called "Douglas Tottle" which was created by Scrib. Which contains an external link to http://www.rationalrevolution.net/special/library/famine.htm that states:
 *  A world wide library search reveals that this book is only present in 28 libraries, only one of them a public library, the rest being academic libraries. Of the 28 library locations possessing the book 14 are in America.

This source http://www.artukraine.com/famineart/serbyn4.htm says:
 * Tottle is a self-confessed famine-genocide denier. No longer able to negate the famine as such, Tottle questions its genocidal character. Traditional famine-denial has been updated to famine-genocide denial, but the essence of the ideological trappings is the same. Today's famine-genocide deniers are the spiritual heirs of the first famine negators, Stalin and those who helped him carry out the most heinous of crimes against the Ukrainian nation or to deny its existence.

I am not qualified to state whether Tottle is right or if the link above is correct. But I have some real problems with the rest of the paragraph.
 * "by Robert Conquest a former British secret service agent" Many academics worked for the intelligence services during WWII (What is the point of intelligence services if they do not employ intelligent people?). To emphasise this over his academic background is disingenuous.
 * "Alexander Solzhenitsyn (a Fascist sympathizer)" Why not "(winner of the prestigious Nobel Prize in literature)" instead of "Fascist sympathizer"?
 * "This source is cited a lot by Marxist-Leninists and Maoists" Are any Marxist-Leninists left? Which of them have cited Tottle this year? Which Maoists have cited Tottle this year?

I think that this is an interesting subject but it is better covered by paraphrasing sources like http://www.faminegenocide.com/2003-competition/01-maslo's_ukrainian_famine_of_1932-1933.html
 * Still others, such as Canadian trade union activist, Douglas Tottle, argue along traditional Communist lines, that reports of the famine and its impact on Ukraine have been exaggerated and are simply part of western propaganda campaigns directed against the Soviet Union.

Which I think sums it up suscinctly. Philip Baird Shearer 8 July 2005 15:45 (UTC)

-- I'm still learning how to work with the different codes so bare with me.

 * "Many Historians" is a weasel phrase who are these historians? Do you have a source which lists them?

You make a good point, I will edit this section.

 * "to the so-called forced famines" I object to Wikipidia making this assertion. Most historians recogise that the famines were in a large part created through political circumstances, and were not the result of a natural disaster.

Tottle's book disagree with this. Prehaps the way it was worded makes it apear un-neutral. Prehaps it could be reworded to something like "what are said to have been forced famines"?

A world wide library search reveals that this book is only present in 28 libraries, only one of them a public library, the rest being academic libraries. Of the 28 library locations possessing the book 14 are in America. ''
 * ''You cite a Wikipedia page called "Douglas Tottle" which was created by Scrib. Which contains an external link to http://www.rationalrevolution.net/special/library/famine.htm that states:

I'm not sure I understand the point you're making. Please elaborate.

 * Not exactly a widely distributed book. At least with a revisionist like David Irving his works are widely available. Philip Baird Shearer

 * This source http://www.artukraine.com/famineart/serbyn4.htm says:
 * Tottle is a self-confessed famine-genocide denier. No longer able to negate the famine as such, Tottle questions its genocidal character. Traditional famine-denial has been updated to famine-genocide denial, but the essence of the ideological trappings is the same. Today's famine-genocide deniers are the spiritual heirs of the first famine negators, Stalin and those who helped him carry out the most heinous of crimes against the Ukrainian nation or to deny its existence.

This is a single source which could easily be said as bias. It is a Ukrainian site which promotes the idea of a forced famine. Of course they would not protray somebody like Tottle as somebody who is contributing to historical truth.

 * Agreed but I put this in to show that most historians think his views are a minority. I choose that article as it was the first one I came accross (with Google) which was hostile to Tootle, not because it was by anyone who I know of as a respected historian. Philip Baird Shearer 09:51, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

''"by Robert Conquest a former British secret service agent" Many academics worked for the intelligence services during WWII (What is the point of intelligence services if they do not employ intelligent people?). To emphasise this over his academic background is disingenuous.''

But Robert Conquest isn't simply an "academic". From my knowledge he actually worked in the MI5 and later retired to become an academic professor. Although I'm not sure how correct that is.
 * many (most?) of Oxbrige worked for MI5 (Spy catchers), MI6 (Spys) or some other government agency during World War II, less stayed on after the war, but it was not unusual. On his Wikipedia page, the description of his life suggests that if he was working for MI6 it was during his time in Bulgaria between 45 and 48. He worked for the FO IRD deparment for the next 8 years (which may have been part of MI6 (I don't know)), his Wikipedia page says that "Conquest's time with the IRD has sparked some controversy, becoming a favourite topic of many critics (particularly on the political Left) who claim that his later historical work was intentional anti-Communist propaganda. Generally, these assertions are viewed with skepticism by other historians who have studied Conquest's work." Philip Baird Shearer

"Alexander Solzhenitsyn (a Fascist sympathizer)" Why not "(winner of the prestigious Nobel Prize in literature)" instead of "Fascist sympathizer"?

Well why not "Fascist sympathizer"? He was. It's factual, although I can see how it seems a bit hostile and bias. Prehaps something like "Alexander Solzhenitsyn, who is criticized for being a Fascist sympathizer".

 * Why not just leave out all descriptions. If someone wants to kown about Conquest or Solzhenitsyn they can follow the link to the respective pages. See wiki is not paper Philip Baird Shearer

''"This source is cited a lot by Marxist-Leninists and Maoists" Are any Marxist-Leninists left? Which of them have cited Tottle this year? Which Maoists have cited Tottle this year? ''

There are many MLists and Maoists left. As a member of the International Communist Movement I can vouge for this. To name a MList or a Maoist who has cited Tottle would be difficult since it's mostly done by MLists over internet forums or in general discussions with others. There aren't very mant "major" MLists of Maoists, who cited Tottle, that would be known by the average reader. Although several Communist parties have mentioned him in their papers or internet sites.

I think this information should be added to the article, with revisions of some of the problems you pointed out. I will work with it a little tonight to tomorrow and present a new copy to discuss. Although, please respond to some of the questions and concerns I posted here.Scrib 10 July 2005, 04:54 (UTC)

 * Please add four tildes ( ~ ) at the end of your posting to talk pages and wikipedia will automagicaly add your username and a date stamp.

 * The point about Historical Revisionism is that the revisionist is putting forward a minority view (If it is the major then it is not revisionism). So please phrase the paragraph as others have, eg "Jack Chick's Nazi inquisition theory". This makes it clear that the views expressed are those of a revisonist "historian" not thoses of the majority of historians. Philip Baird Shearer 09:02, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

 * This depends on how you draw the circle of "Majority." If we're talking about a historical/worldwide majority, then it's modern day westerners who are the minority. Tottle poses what is a pretty common historical opinion in both China and all the Warsaw Pact countries for most of the period during which this information this is pertinent. (That is, from the year in which the famines happened, up to present day.) This is not even counting the many countries that have had sympathetic, or prominent Marxist attitudes in their culture as well. Which would include several other places especially in Asia and South/Central America. It's easy get stuck in a bit of a bubble when you grow up in a hegemonised culture, but truth is that Tottle is not espousing a minority opinion here. It's just that he is espousing the opinion of peoples who are considered enemies of the west, and they are just as likely to have a credible understanding of this as anyone else is. The post-Soviet narrative of things like the holodomor is still very much contemporary, and it is important to approach it with humility as to not enter the pitfalls of ethnic chauvinism.78.69.180.157 (talk) 22:59, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

Before further revert warring, Beatle Fab Four might want to consult the very link to Tottle's book (see under --Books--). It is clearly said there that The stories of millions of deaths caused by famine in Ukraine in 1933 and 1934, supposedly caused by the effects of the Soviet system, were fabricated by Nazi propagandists in their propaganda campaigns against Bolshevism. -- Miacek (t) 15:28, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I read it carefully. Anf if you read not just first two paragraphs, but the whole text, you may find: This book does not claim that no famine took place in Ukraine, or that there were not hardships related to the collectivization programs of the Soviets. Beatle Fab Four (talk) 15:35, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Yes, he agrees a famine did take place, but he denies this famine caused any deaths. Tottle states that reports of deaths have been "fabricated by Nazi propagandists". Martintg (talk) 22:04, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

I have referred the matter to Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard. Please share you opinion there Alex Bakharev (talk) 23:06, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

POV
Well maybe not a stub. but definitely a collecton of curses. No constructive discussion of what's correct, what's wrong in his works.

If you read this article, honestly, can you answer these two questions essential in any research? Those who say he's wrong, because he's a bastard, can discuss something else. Beatle Fab Four (talk) 22:30, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Wikipedia is not a venue for original research, so we cannot make up stuff that is not found in reliable sources. We can only state what others have said about Tottle's work in published sources. Unless you can find an alternative view of Tottle's work in reliable sources, I don't know what your POV issue is here. Seems to me it is more of a case of WP:JUSTDONTLIKEIT. Martintg (talk) 23:19, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Hehe. This just tells that some editors collected curses, not arguments. Beatle Fab Four (talk) 23:29, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Moreover, I can decribe the procedure of making SYN and OR. They open google.book. Type "Douglas Tottle is a bastard". Find books. Don't bother to read them. Then just include links into article. Soviet War Memorial was a brilliant example, haha. Beatle Fab Four (talk) 23:36, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

 * If you can not provide an alternate viewpoint of Tottle's work in published sources to balance the article, then this is not a POV dispute, and the tag will be removed. Martintg (talk) 23:40, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Weeeellll, do you understand, that I included a tag, because it is currently indeed POV? Any editor is welcome to improve the article. Beatle Fab Four (talk) 23:47, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

 * If you cannot even cite an alternate viewpoint of Tottle's work, how do you know the article is POV? WP:JUSTDONTLIKEIT? Martintg (talk) 23:56, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I vaguely remember, exactly the same thing happened initially at Treptower Park. Beatle Fab Four (talk) 00:05, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

 * No alternate viewpoint on Tottle's work then? Martintg (talk) 01:16, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Inclusion of POV tag doesn't imply that I must immediately go and find whatever you want or don't want. These are basics. I presented my arguments, you expressed your personal opinion. There is no reason to continue this pointless talk. Beatle Fab Four (talk) 01:28, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

 * You have not presented any arguments at all. A POV tag implies there are other viewpoints not reflected in the article. You are unable to articulate what that other view point may be when challenged. In the absence of concrete discussion regarding what alternate points of view need to be expressed in the article, the conclusion must be that this tagging is purely disruptive. Martintg (talk) 01:39, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Defenders of Tottle
It certainly seems easier to find critics of Tottle, than it is to find defenders. In order to balance out the lead, we need to present the other side. I've tried to provide a positive assessment, but I'd much rather prefer a scholarly, rather than a political source. Anyone able to find one? —Zalktis (talk) 07:10, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Why to balance something unbalanced? Xx236 (talk) 13:42, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Schmaltz
Is the Schmaltz source a WP:RS? It looks self-published to me. Or is is a reprint from another publication? —Zalktis (talk) 07:14, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * InfoUkes website (I quoted their Disclaimer in my edit summary) and a mailing list archive do not fulfil the criteria of WP:RS, either, in my opinion. Has Serbyn published his piece in a WP:RS that we can quote from instead? —Zalktis (talk) 08:52, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I see now that the Serbyn piece is a reprint from The Ukrainian Canadian. This source should thus be quoted in the reference, even if the URL goes to InfoUkes. Use a ref template like Template:cite journal; it's easy!. —Zalktis (talk) 09:08, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Eric J. Schmaltz is Assistant Professor of History, Department of Social Sciences, Northwestern Oklahoma State University. He seems to be a widely published expert on ethnic issues of the former Soviet Union. The paper was published by the German Russian Heritage Society. They have a journal which is controlled by a publication committee and they hold conferences. They seem to be working in conjunction with North Dakota State University. Therefore the GRHS appears to be a scholarly society, so it doesn't appear to be a self published paper. Martintg (talk) 12:35, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

More about the book than the author

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Not moved. This seems to be a discussion about splitting out the author and book into two articles and is the author notable on his own or restructuring this article. Having said that, if someone wants to restructure this article so that it is firstly about the book, then it will make sense to do the move. By working with this article, we don't lose the article history. Decide on how to proceed and if it needs moving after the rewrite, leave a note on my talk page. One final note, the proposed new page does not exist and any editor can do the move. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:53, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Douglas Tottle → Fraud, Famine, and Fascism –

While I don't mind that an article about a person is more than 50% about one of his books, I think there is a WP:Coatrack rule about that. Not that I'm claiming this article is biased, either.
 * I'd rather move the whole thing to Fraud, Famine, and Fascism and have a little bit about the author there. --Uncle Ed (talk) 18:07, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Technical close -- Tottle seems to be notable only for having written this book. This seems to point to having an article aboutt the book, rather than its author.  However, any move needs to be followed by the article being restructured to fit with its new title.  You cannot expect the closing admin to undertake that.  I would suggest that you create a fork of this article in your sandbox and amend it there to fit with the new format.  Having done so, you should (preferably) place on this page an invitation to comment on what you have done.  After that, move what you have done to the new title.  Then  convert this article into a redirect to your new one.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:16, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Denying Genocide is certainable notable, and this article should remain in some form. If we do change this article to the book's title, Tottle's name should be a redirect to it.(Hyperionsteel (talk) 05:30, 17 December 2011 (UTC))
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The book is of little value, doesn't deserve the place. How to write a book about Soviet Ukraine in Canada without entering any archive or talking to a victim?Xx236 (talk) 13:41, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Much as I respect your point of view, XXx236, how can modern historians who are only privy to documentation that was not destroyed - and modern incredulity at how horrendous the Stalinist state, and have never spoken to escapees from what was Ukraine; the Polish recollection of trying to get supplies through to the starving at a heavily fortified army based at all transport routes from Poland into Ukraine. I don't know whose narrative is more truthful, the Russian and Chinese condoned versions after so much time for the KGB and NKVD to clean house. The truth has always be a political football, and expedient demographic groups go back have existed further back in time than when they were illustrated by Thucydides. To the victor/the power go the spoils. Apologies for using the talk page as a soap box, but I actually don't know where the truth lies. I know you're talking about Holodomor (trendy name - we grew up calling it the Great Famine like the rest of the Soviet Union - and democide gone mad after all of the horrors inflicted by empires had addled individuals minds in Eastern Europe rings loudly as an alternative bell.

This putz denies Ukrainian collaboration with the Nazis, and has done so for decades, as noted by Simon Wiesenthal in the 1980s. The fact that he's so closely aligned with the "Ukrainian World Congress" which to this day denies Ukrainian involvement in the Holocaust should raise some serious red flags with any fair-minded person. I don't give a flying Christ what universities saw fit to pay him for his fascist lies, though it should be noted that the ref used here was not in fact an academic work, only an opinion piece.

Holodomor denial
Regarding this edit, see Holodomor denial. You can't "refute" something that happened. – bradv  17:22, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Maybe it's because you aren't familiar with the topic, but Douglas Tottle never said that the Soviet famine of 1930–1933 didn't happen, he argues against the theory that it was created intentionally, which would have constituted as a genocide.
 * The theory that the 1932-33 famine was a genocide used to be very popular until the Soviet archives were made available to historians and it became apparent that there was little evidence to back up the theory that it was created intentionally. The History Wizard of Cambridge (talk) 17:46, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Per the lead sentence of Holodomor denial, the term includes "" If you want to redefine that term, and you have sources to support your position, I suggest taking it up at that talk page, not here. – bradv  17:51, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I can borrow from the leads of articles that happen to agree with me just as well as you can, for example from the Holodomor genocide question contains a mountain of sources arguing against the theory that the genocide theory has been rejected by the majority of modern historians. This includes Ronald Grigor Suny and David R. Marples's comments on the historiography. The History Wizard of Cambridge (talk) 18:36, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
 * How many of them have been described as writing ""? The consensus (and grammatically-correct) term on Wikipedia is "denial". – bradv  19:01, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
 * There clearly isn't a consensus, as evidenced by the fact that other pages on genocide claims that aren't accepted by accademia don't use the term. 49.197.232.78 (talk) 02:29, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Suny says that most scholars rejected Conquest’s claims when his book was published thirty-seven years ago(!), not today. Marples’s 2005 column does not seem to say anything of the sort.
 * Tottle is Holodomor denial literature, sponsored by the Soviet government, and ghost-written for a labour activist with no credentials or experience in Soviet history. It is classified as such by librarians. —Michael Z. 03:14, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
 * This clashes with the consensus on the Holodomor Denialism page, where it has been established that Holodomor Denialism means denying or downplaying that the famine happened at all, and it doesn't mean taking the academically mainstream position that it wasn't deliberately orchestrated. 49.182.173.50 (talk) 07:36, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Proto-Celtic theonyms

Rationale
The purpose of this article is to provide a synopsis of the sources cited with regard to the intrinsic nature and the plausible Romanised Brythonic name-forms and semantics of Celtic gods and goddesses likely to have been known to and recognised by Iron Age British tribes. Much is uncertain with regard to Celtic deities.

Note on syncretism and definition
Only in instances where the cited sources assert in certitude that several names referred to the same deity, have deities been allotted more than one reconstructed name. For example, in the case of the name Rhiannon ( from *Rigantona ‘Great Queen.’ ), the Encyclopaedia Britannica maintains that the epithet was used in Welsh mythology for the Welsh manifestations of both the Gaulish Epona and the goddess Macha of Irish mythology. Otherwise, a separate name has been allotted a separate entry.

Note on orthography
In accordance with classical Roman transcriptions of Celtic names, Proto-Brythonic [*k] has been written as ‘c,’ [*j] as ‘i,’ (except in initial and intervocalic positions) and initial and intervocalic [*w] has been shown as ‘v,’ while post-consonantal [*w] has been written as ‘u.’ To denote the remnant position of a former Proto-Indo-European [**p] in the morphology of these names, ‘h’ has been used, because ‘h’ appears in some classical transcriptions of Celtic words apparently denoting this remnant, as with the toponym Hercynia, presumably from Proto-Indo-European **PérkōwnjeH2, ‘Land of Pigs’ (cf. pork). In other respects, accepted Proto-Celtic reconstructions, including diphthongs, have been rigidly followed. Since Proto-Brythonic was a P-Celtic language, ‘p’ has been written where Proto-Celtic would have had [*kw]. In keeping with the conventions of proto-linguistics, the asterisk * denotes an unattested, reconstructed form. Here follows a reconstruction of the Iron Age British pantheon, with the head names of the deities given in their likely Proto-Brythonic form. Sincerely, GeoffMGleadall 09:59, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Charles Henry Foyle

Charles Henry Foyle (18 March 1878 – 9 December 1948) was an English businessman who invented the folding carton. He founded Boxfoldia in Birmingham in 1920, a company that was finally sold in 2003.

In 1940, he put £7,000 into a trust for general charitable objectives, including medical and educational facilities and housing for the working classes. Trustees were drawn from the City Council, the University of Birmingham and from the founder's family, and additional advisors were nominated from the company. The trust had an annual income of £5,500 by 1952. The C. H. Foyle Trust later adapted its memorandum to support educational, recreational and artistic activities of a charitable nature, with an emphasis on those from deprived areas in the West Midlands, with an income of £148,683 in 2008. Over its seventy years, the Trust supported many individuals and schools and hundreds of charitable organisations, in both educational and other fields, with grants ranging from a few tens to many thousands of pounds. Major beneficiaries have included the Midlands Arts Centre, the Bramall Music Building at the University of Birmingham, the Birmingham Museum and Arts Gallery for the Staffordshire Hoard, and Selly Oak Hospital for the Uli Nimptsch statue, Compassion.

Charles Henry Foyle was born in Hoxton, London. His brothers William and Gilbert Foyle founded Foyles bookshop in London. He privately published Alice Through The Paper-Mill, an Alice in Wonderland-inspired satire on war-time paper control regulations with 12 illustrations by Arthur Wragg.

Warsaw Stock Exchange

The Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE) (Giełda Papierów Wartościowych w Warszawie (GPW)) is a stock exchange in Warsaw, Poland. Founded in 1817, it was located in the Saxon Palace until 1877 when it was moved to the Exchange Building at the Saxon Garden. Currently, it is located at ul. Książęca 4 in the Śródmieście District of Warsaw in the Exchange Center Building (Polish: Centrum Giełdowe) opened in 2000. As of March 2023, there are 416 companies, including 43 foreign ones, quoted on the stock exchange whose market capitalization amounts to PLN 1.18 trillion (EUR 252.8 billion), making it the largest stock exchange in Central and Eastern Europe. The most important stock market indices of the Warsaw Stock Exchange are WIG20, WIG30, MWIG40 and SWIG80. Trading at Warsaw runs from 08:30 to 17:00 with closing auction from 17:00-17:05.

The WSE is a member of the Federation of European Securities Exchanges. On 17 December 2013, the WSE also joined the United Nations Sustainable Stock Exchanges (SSE) initiative.

On 23 August 2023, the company formed EuroCTP as a joint venture with 13 other bourses, in an effort to provide a consolidated tape for the European Union, as part of the Capital Markets Union proposed by the European Commission.

Kingdom of Poland
Warsaw became the capital and financial center of Poland in the early 17th century. In the Middle Ages other Polish towns, most of them members of the Hanseatic League, were the leading economic centers of Poland. Merchants from western and southern Europe settled in Poland since the beginning of Polish statehood. They brought the system of organized exchange trading in securities, mostly bills and currencies, to Poland. The oldest Polish bill was issued in 1243 by the Cuyavien bishop Sambor. The main centers of securities tradings were at the lower Vistula, in the 14th century occupied by the Teutonic Knights. The first mercantile exchanges emerged in Gdańsk (1379), Toruń (1385), Malbork (14th century), Kraków (1405), Poznań (1429), Zamość (1590), Królewiec (1613) and Elbląg (1744).

Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth
Early mercantile trade in securities emerged in Warsaw in the 15th and 16th century and was based on privileges by the Masovian Dukes and later Polish Kings. The original privileges are lost, but they have been mentioned and affirmed by King John II Casimir in 1658. An archetype of the Warsaw Exchange was first mentioned in 1624–1625. In 1643 Adam Zarzebski, the chief architect of King Władysław IV, mentioned a stone building on the Old Market Square as the seat of the Exchange, probably a part of the Old Town Hall. The securities trading minutes of the Warsaw merchants in the Old Town Hall have been recorded since 1757. The legal framework for the trading in securities was first codified by the Polish Sejm in 1775. As one of the first Polish corporations Kompania Manufaktur Welnianych issued its first 120 shares in 1768. The first Polish bonds were issued in 1782 by King Stanisław August.

Duchy of Warsaw
In 1808, the Duchy of Warsaw adopted the Napoleonic code including the Code de Commerce. The Code de Commerce also regulated stock exchange law and there were efforts made to establish a state-organized exchange on the basis of this code in Warsaw. However, due to the Napoleonic Wars and the Congress of Vienna, the plans had to be postponed.

Congress Poland
The first state-organized exchange in Poland, the Warsaw Mercantile Exchange (Giełda Kupiecka w Warszawie), was established in Warsaw by a decree of viceregent Grand Duke Constantine Romanov dated 12 May 1817. The first trading took place in the Old Town Hall on 16 May 1817 and moved in the same year to the Saxon Palace as the Old Town Hall was destroyed in the same year. Exchange trading in securities also was held in the trading house Marywil but were moved to the house of building of the Polish Central Bank in 1828 and to the building of the Financial Commission and Confraternity Harmonia in 1876, before in 1877 the Warsaw Mercantile Exchange moved into its own building at the Saxon Garden.

The Warsaw Mercantile Exchange grew rapidly. The number of brokers doubled between 1817 and 1822. In the first half of the 19th century mainly bills, debentures and bonds were traded, while share trading on a broader scale developed in the second half of that century. The first public security to be traded on the Warsaw Mercantile Exchange was the debentures of Towarzystwo Kredytowe Ziemskie issued in 1826. The first shares admitted to trading were issued by railroad companies in the 1840s. Until 1853 trading sessions were twice a week between 1pm and 2pm. In 1873 a new, more liberal, stock exchange act was passed, separating the trade in securities and commodities. A separate Warsaw Commodities Exchange was founded in 1874. Central Europe was subject to a big bull market after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–1871, followed by a harsh crash starting at the Vienna Stock Exchange in the later 1870s. However, the Warsaw Mercantile Exchange constantly grew until World War I. On August 4, 1914, the Warsaw Stock Exchange was closed and was reactivated only on January 2, 1921. It operated under the name of "The Warsaw Money Exchange" and was based in Królewska Street.

Second Polish Republic
The Warsaw Money Exchange (Giełda Pieniężna w Warszawie) was reopened after World War I in 1919 and again in 1921. Between 1919 and 1939, the Warsaw Money Exchange was by far the largest of several bourses in different Polish cities (Katowice, Kraków, Lwów, Łódź, Poznań and Wilno), and accounted for 95% of the volume and 65 to 85% of the transactions traded on the Polish capital market. The Warsaw Money Exchange had more than 150 participants, 25 brokers, and more than 130 issuers. Its yearly turnover amounted to 1 billion PLZ. A new stock exchange law was passed in 1921 and again in 1926 and 1935. The Polish exchanges were subject to the world crises of 1929, but they recovered in the second half of the 1930s until the Second World War. In 1939 Poland was occupied by German and Soviet forces and all Polish stock exchanges were closed.

Third Polish Republic
It was only after the end of Communism in Poland in 1989 that the Warsaw Stock Exchange could be reestablished. Much needed experience and financial aid was provided by France (especially the Société des Bourses Françaises). The WSE began activity in its present form on 16 April 1991. On the first trading day only five stocks were listed (Tonsil, Próchnik, Krosno, Kable, and Exbud). Seven brokerages took part in the trading, and there were 112 buy and sell orders, with a turnover of only 1,990 złotys ($2,000).

In the years 1991–2000, the stock exchange was in the building which during the previous, and then recent, Communist years had been the seat of the Central Committee of the ruling Polish United Workers' Party. This can be considered an interesting reflection on the rapid transition of Poland from a Communist to a market economy.

Since then the WSE has been developing and growing rapidly and is now perceived as well established on the European market. In September 2008 the stock exchange was recognized as an "Advanced Emerging" exchange by FTSE, alongside markets from such countries as South Korea or Taiwan.

On 29 September 2017, the index provider FTSE Russell has announced the results of the annual classification of markets. Polish market has been upgraded from Emerging Market to Developed Market status.

In 2019, the Warsaw Stock Exchange announced plans to launch a private market based on a blockchain. Michał Piątek, the WSE's director responsible for the development of new businesses said that: "the planned WSE Private Market will be based on the blockchain technology. The platform is supposed to connect companies seeking capital with investors on the private market thanks to the technology used as the foundation of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies".

In 2020, the WSE achieved a significant success when it comes to the gaming market, as it had more gaming companies listed than the Tokyo Stock Exchange and became a global leader of the gaming stock sector.

On 28 June 2022, the Warsaw Stock Exchange acquired 65.03% of shares in the Armenia Securities Exchange (AMX) in Yerevan, which had been approved by the Central Bank of Armenia.

Legal framework
The legal framework for exchange operations is provided by three acts from 29 July 2005:

 * Act on Public Offering, Conditions Governing the Introduction of Financial Instruments to Organised Trading, and Public Companies
 * Act on Trading in Financial Instruments
 * Act on Capital Market Supervision

Additionally, the WSE is governed by the Code of Commercial Companies of 2000, the Statutes of the Warsaw Stock Exchange, the Rules of the Warsaw Stock Exchange, and the Rules of the Stock Exchange Court.

Structure and operations
The WSE is a joint stock company founded by the State Treasury. The Treasury holds 35% share in capital.

The following instruments are traded on the WSE: shares, bonds, subscription rights, allotments, and derivatives such as futures, options, and index participation units.

Since its inception, the WSE has engaged in electronic trading. The WARSET trading platform has been in use from November 2000 to April 2013; it has been superseded by the UTP platform, based on the NYSE Euronext platform formerly having the same name. An additional market called NewConnect was introduced on 30 August 2007.

The exchange has pre-market sessions from 08:00am to 09:00am, normal trading sessions from 09:00am to 04:50pm and post-market sessions from 04:50pm to 05:00pm on all days of the week except Saturdays, Sundays and holidays declared by the Exchange in advance.

Authorities
The highest authority of the Warsaw Stock Exchange is the General Meeting of Shareholders of the WSE. All Stock Exchange shareholders have the right to participate in the general meeting.

The Exchange Supervisory Board supervises the activities of the Exchange. It consists of 5 to 7 members. The Exchange Supervisory Board meets at least once a quarter. The term of office of its members is joint and lasts three years.

The Exchange Management Board manages the day-to-day operations of the Exchange, admits securities to exchange trading, defines the rules for introducing securities to trading, supervises the activities of exchange brokers and exchange members in the field of exchange trading.

The Exchange Management Board consists of 3 to 5 members. The work of the management board is managed by the President of the management board appointed by the General Meeting. Currently, the president of the WSE is Tomasz Bardziłowski.

Triple M Central West

Triple M Central West (call sign: 2OAG) is an Australian radio station, licensed to Orange, New South Wales. It is owned and operated by Macquarie Regional RadioWorks, and transmits on 105.1 MHz on the FM band. It originally broadcast on 990 kHz, before switching to 1089 kHz, before switching to the FM band. The former Am frequency of 1089 was turned into a relay station of an automated Sydney station, and later purchased by Broadcast Operations Group.

The station was founded in the mid-1930s. It was opened by the Postmaster General, Sen. McLachlan on the evening of 31 October 1935. The ceremony was actually performed in Sale, Victoria, as the Senator was performing a similar duty opening the new ABC regional station 3GI. The speech was relayed by landline to Orange. Contrary to popular thought, 2GZ was not the first to open west of the Blue Mountains as previously thought, that honour goes to 2MK at Bathurst, it opened in 1925 and closed in 1930/31. The original licensee of 2GZ was Country Broadcasting Services (later Country Television Services Ltd), who also launched CBN-8 Orange and CWN-6 Dubbo, now Prime Television, in the 1960s.

The station converted to the FM band on October 8, 1999.

Today the station broadcasts an Adult Contemporary/Classic Hits format, with a wide playlist of songs from the 1960s through to the 1990s and today, with a target demographic of 35–55 years.

It was the Central West outlet for the John Laws morning show, as well as running its own breakfast program, similar to most of the former DMG-owned stations. It then ran the Charles Wooley morning show, sending Laws to 2EL. Ironically, 2GZ was once one of the regional stations that Laws worked at before becoming a national radio icon. In December, Macquarie severed ties with Charles Wooley, and was one of a handful of regional stations to take up a feed of Ray Hadley's 2GB radio show, commencing January 27.

In late 2016, Southern Cross Austereo took over and rebranded the station, along with quite a few regional stations Triple M Central West.

 * Thanks for the booya! It's nice to be welcomed. Also thanks for moving the criminal inquiry link to Nicoll Highway collapse which I'd missed. Guess I'll be fleshing that stub out a bit with inquiry findings. But on that page: quote "Catherine Tan's father" - Catherine who? --Hamstersanonymous 19:58, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Hah its alright. I found it strange why the Circle line page had no links to the Nicoll Highway collapse page, so I am not surprised you didnt find it too. I added that link and moved it, as I faintly recollect seeing that page's existance before. As for Catherine....I think she is the daughter of one of the dead men? The one who's body was recovered...--Huaiwei 05:37, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Guess I'm just nitpicking: that one-off sentence is not expanded upon; she is not well-known figure nor an important figure in the incident. Hence I don't think the name adds any useful information to the article. The same probably goes for "Mr Nuorinthong" - "Thai worker" alone suffices. What do you think? --Hamstersanonymous 09:42, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Hm....I just read the article, and I realise what you mean. Yes...the sentence on Catherine sounds strange. Listing the names of the deceased and a litle on their background shold be more then enough. but as for the Thai guy's name, perhaps we can leave it as it is (preferably with the presumption that the entire article is xpanded), as we dont want to be accused of being "elitist" or even "racist"? :D--Huaiwei 15:59, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Am working on expanding/rewording the article atm, see my sandbox. Mr Nuorinthong isn't the only person who recounted Mr Heng's bravery, and he isn't an important figure in the investigation; I thought substituted with " survivor accounts" is pretty sufficient.

My opinion doesn’t matter in Wikipedia
I have very bad experience with Wikipedia, even when you have a reason to do something. “YOUR REASON NEVER GOOD ENOUGH” I started this article because I know “almost” everything about this coin, I have tried to change in the existed article many times, unfortunately someone will come and change it without any knowledge about this coin, also many of this people have a commercial interest. My goal to present this coin from history point of view for Wikipedia reader and by merging this article with the “IGD” it will be tragedy. I really cannot do anything. The only thing I want is not to merge the two articles. I wish I can just delete it if that makes you happy. In the end of the day you do what you like because my reason is not good enough. Wish you the best.
 * (ZeroFiveZerome (talk) 15:27, 8 May 2008 (UTC)).

I cannot agree with you more
Your respond was great. I was little bit hopeless with Wikipedia. Anyway I will be happy working with you in improving the 2 articles and when we feel that one is covering everything necessary then we can merge the two articles. I thing we have long way to go before the article look great. I will be adding some more material and you can check it and let me know what you think. I will try to have more time for writing.

 * I would like to thank you for your time and patient with my attitude. I had good intention nothing more. You made me more optimistic.
 * Best regards

Flavia Julia Constantia

Flavia Julia Constantia (Greek: Κωνσταντία; after 293 – c. 330) was a Roman empress as the wife of Licinius. She was the daughter of the Roman emperor Constantius Chlorus and his wife Flavia Maximiana Theodora, and younger half-sister of Constantine the Great.

Biography
Constantia was one of six children born from the marriage of Constantius I and Theodora. Although her birth date has not been recorded, she must have been born after 293, as that was the year of her parents’ marriage. She had two sisters, Anastasia and Eutropia, and three brothers, Julius Constantius, Flavius Dalmatius and Hannibalianus. Constantius already had a son, Constantine I, from his previous relationship with Helena, making him Constantia’s half-brother.

In 313, the emperor Constantine gave her in marriage to his co-emperor Licinius, on occasion of their meeting in Mediolanum. She bore a son, Valerius Licinianus Licinius, in 315, and when the struggle between Constantine and Licinius began in 316, she stayed on her husband's side. A second war started between the two emperors in 324, ending in Licinius' defeat. Constantine initially spared his rival on Constantia's intercession, but in 325 he ordered that Licinius be killed. A second blow for Constantia was the death, also by order of Constantine, of her son Valerius.

In the following years, Constantia lived at her brother's court, receiving honours (her title was nobilissima femina). Constantia was her brother's favourite sister and proof of such favour is that he minted coins with her image and with the title "Constantia Soror Constantini AVG," or, "Constantia, Sister of Constantine Augustus" ("AVG" is an abbreviation of "Augustus," the center consonant being a "manuscript U," not a "V"). She converted to Christianity, supporting the Arian party at the First Council of Nicaea (325).

Legacy
The city of Constanţa, Romania is named after her.

Miklós Radnóti

Miklós Radnóti (born Miklós Glatter, surname variants: Radnói, Radnóczi; 5 May 1909 – 4 or 9 November 1944) was a Hungarian poet, an outstanding representative of modern Hungarian lyric poetry as well as a certified secondary school teacher of Hungarian and French. He is characterised by his striving for pure genre and his revival of traditional, tried and tested genres.

Biography
Miklós Glatter descended from a long line of Hungarian Jewish village merchants, peddlers, and pub keepers in Radnót, in what is now Slovakia.

At the time of his birth, Miklós Glatter's father, Jakab Glatter, worked as a travelling salesman for the Brück & Grosz textile company, which was owned by his brother in law. He was born in the 13th district (Újlipótváros quarter) of Budapest, the capital city of the Kingdom of Hungary. At birth, his twin brother was born dead and his mother, Ilona Grosz, died soon after childbirth. His father remarried in 1911 with Ilona Molnár (1885–1944). In 1921 his father died of stroke, his guardian became his aunt's husband, Dezső Grosz, who was one of the owners of the textile company his father worked for until his death.

Radnóti attended primary and secondary school in his place of birth and continued his education at the high school for textile industry in Liberec from 1927–28 on his uncle's advice. Then he worked as commercial correspondent in the familiar textile business company until 1930. Ultimately, Radnóti was able to prevail with desire for another education and began studying philosophy, Hungarian and French at the University of Szeged.

In 1934, he finished his studies with the philosophical doctoral thesis The artistic development of Margit Kaffka. After graduation, he Magyarised his surname to Radnóti, after the native village of his paternal ancestors. In August 1935, he married his long-standing love Fanny Gyarmati (1912–2014), daughter of the owner of the respected Gyarmati printing house. The very happy marriage was unfortunately childless until his deportation. He gained his first professional experiences as secondary school teacher in the 1935-36 academic year at the Zsigmond Kemény Gymnasium in Budapest.

In September 1940, he was conscripted to a labor battalion (a kind of unarmed military service, initially for those unfit for armed service, but increasingly, as the world war progressed, a punishment for citizens considered untrustworthy like leftists, dissidents, Jews) of the Royal Hungarian Army until December of that year, then from July 1942 to April 1943 for the second time. On 2 May 1943, he converted together with his wife from Judaism to the Roman Catholic faith. In May 1944, Radnóti's third military labor service started and his battalion was deployed to the copper mines of Bor in Serbia. After 1943, Hungarian Jewish forced laborers working in Bor's copper mines contributed to 50 percent of the copper used by the German war industry. The overseers of the forced laborers of Bor were particularly notorious for their cruelty.

On 17 September 1944, the battalion was commanded to leave the camp on foot in two groups in a forced march to flee the advancing Allied armies. Radnóti was in the first group (about 3600 forced laborers), around half of the group perished. The overseers of the second group were ambushed by Yugoslav partisans before departure and all forced laborers survived. Radnóti endured inhuman conditions while being forced to walk from Bor to Szentkirályszabadja, where he wrote his last poem on 31 October.

Murder and its aftermath
In November 1944, because of their total physical and mental exhaustion, Radnóti and twenty other prisoners were fatally shot and buried in a mass grave near the dam at Abda, by a guard squad of a commander and four soldiers of the Royal Hungarian Army. Different dates of this mass murder have been given. Some publications specify a day in the period from 6 to 10 November. In the detailed and scientific exhibition of 2009 by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, 4 November was claimed to be the date of death.

On 19 June 1946, the mass grave in Abda was exhumed, and personal documents, letters and photographs were found. On 25 June 1946, Radnóti was reburied in the Jewish cemetery of Győr, together with twenty-one other victims.

On 12 August 1946, his widow, Fanni Gyarmati went to Győr with Gyula Ortutay, Gábor Tolnai and Dezső Baróti to identify the body of her husband that was exhumed for the second time. In his work titled Ecce homo (Canadian Hungarian Newspaper, 2011), Tamás Szemenyei-Kiss describes how at the time of the second exhumation in Győr, Fanni Gyarmati had not seen her husband and was shown several objects that had never belonged to Radnóti. Therefore, at the time of the third burial, she was no longer sure that the closed coffin really contained her husband's remains. Miklós Radnóti's third funeral service in Budapest was held in public on 14 August 1946. The Tridentine Requiem Mass was offered by Radnóti's former spiritual director, Fr. Sándor Sík. Gyula Ortutay gave a eulogy on behalf of his friends. Radnóti was laid to rest in the Fiume Road Graveyard in Budapest, in plot 41, grave number 41.

The commander of the guards involved in the mass murder, Sgt. András Tálas, immediately joined the Communist Party of Hungary after the end of the Second World War, but he was arrested as part of a Stalinist political purge on 7 August 1945. He was tried and convicted by a post-war People's Court for his cruelty towards the slave labourers at the Bor concentration camp, and executed in 27 February 1947. Neither Radnóti's name nor the mass murder of Jewish prisoners near Abda, however, were mentioned in the voluminous prosecution file or during the trial. The other murderers' names remained unknown to the Hungarian people until 2006. There was a strictly confidential investigation conducted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs III during the communist era between 1967–1977, which identified four Royal Hungarian Army soldiers under of the command of Sgt. Tálas who were involved in the murder: Sándor Bodor, István Reszegi (or Reszegh; who both became long-time members in good standing of the ruling Hungarian Communist Party), as well as Sándor Kunos and János Malakuczi. No one else was ever indicted or prosecuted by the Communist single-party state. Sándor Kunos and János Malakuczi, however, who were not Party members, remained under covert surveillance by the Hungarian secret police (ÁVO).

Walter Aston, 8th Lord Aston of Forfar

Walter Aston, 8th Lord Aston of Forfar (10 October 1732 – 29 July 1805 ) was the son of Edward Aston and Anne Bayley.

In 1763, Walter succeeded his childless cousin Walter Aston, 7th Lord Aston of Forfar, as Lord Aston of Forfar in the peerage of Scotland.

Life
Before inheriting the barony, Aston worked as a watchmaker.

Scottish Peers were entitled to vote to elect 16 Scottish representative peer to the House of Lords. In 1768 Lord Aston's right to vote in these elections raised objections as he was not listed on the Union Roll as his right to the title Lord Aston of Forfar was not confirmed. I n 1769 King George III awarded Lord Aston an annual pension of £300. In this award, King George refers to Walter as "Walter, Lord Aston, Baron of Forfar".

The Gentleman's Magazine referred to him as "an inoffensive man of rather a convivial turn".

Lord Aston of Forfar died in London on 29 July 1805 at the age of 72. He was buried at the Grosvenor Chapel in London.

Family
Walter married Anne Hutchinson on 28 May 1766. Anne was the daughter of Peter Hutchinson. She died in 1808 and was buried at Bath Abbey. They had three children:
 * Elizabeth Jane, who died young
 * Walter, a Church of England Clergyman who succeeded his father as 9th Lord Aston of Forfar.
 * William Bailey, who was lost at sea, and elder son Walter Aston,

Talk:John Summers High School

July 2005
This is the image of John Summers I added to the article. But the fascists deleted it! It's encyclopedia nazism, I tell ya! Uberisaac 10:17, July 22, 2005 (UTC)

The article currently states: "The School is named John Summers High School in acknowledgement of those people who brought industry to the banks of the Dee and sustained it with their ingenuity and hard work."

The sentence is clearly nonsensical: How does "John Summers" refer to "those people who brought industry to the banks of the Dee"? Do you think it might have been named after a man named John Summers?

It's disengenuous at best. I believe the school was named after a writer named John Summers who was born in Rumni, South Wales, in 1928.

He was a colunist for the Sunday Telegraph, but went on to write thoroughly dreadful bilge glorifying the Soviet Union and criticizing the west, America and England. Which, I am guessing, is why the high school is loathe to admit their namesake. Particularly in hindsight, even his townspeople can recognize what a dishonest hack he was.

At any rate, some fact-checking is in order and a less absurd sentence needs to replace the current joke. Say it was named after a "progressive" local writer, John Summers. A link on his name to a new article is in order, if the namesake is as I suspect.

Thanks, Kirez

Kirez, I doubt it was named after the writer you mention. The school was more likely named for the Steelworks company John Summers and Sons- hence the reference to the people who brought industry etc.

Neutrality and Information
This page has most likely been edited by someone at the school so I've added the check neutrality tag. In addition, we need to look at adding information surrounding its future closure, improving the language and its links to the writer John Summers or John Summers & Sons - apparently it's still disputed locally who or what gave it its name. I'll edit myself if I get time in the near future. Ryankonkolewski (talk) 04:47, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

Deep ocean water

Deep ocean water (DOW) is the name for cold, salty water found in the deep sea, starting at 200 m below the surface of Earth's oceans. Ocean water differs in temperature and salinity. Warm surface water is generally saltier than the cooler deep or polar waters; in polar regions, the upper layers of ocean water are cold and fresh. Deep ocean water makes up about 90% of the volume of the oceans. Deep ocean water has a very uniform temperature, around 0 –, and a salinity of about 3.5% or, as oceanographers state, 35‰ (parts per thousand).

In specialized locations, such as the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii, ocean water is pumped to the surface from approximately 900 m deep for applications in research, commercial and pre-commercial activities. DOW is typically used to describe ocean water at sufficient to provide a measurable difference in water temperature.

When deep ocean water is brought to the surface, it can be used for a variety of things. Its most useful property is its temperature. At the surface of the Earth, most water and air is well above 3 °C. The difference in temperature is indicative of a difference in energy. Where there is an energy gradient, skillful application of engineering can harness that energy for productive use by humans.

The simplest use of cold water is for air conditioning: using the cold water itself to cool air saves the energy that would be used by the compressors for traditional refrigeration. Another use could be to replace expensive desalination plants. When cold water passes through a pipe surrounded by humid air, condensation results. The condensate is pure water, suitable for humans to drink or for crop irrigation. Via a technology called ocean thermal energy conversion, the temperature difference can be used to run a heat engine to generate electricity.

Cold-bed agriculture
A potential indirect use of cold ocean water is "cold-bed agriculture". During condensation or ocean thermal energy conversion operations, the water does not reach ambient temperature, because a certain temperature gradient is required to make these processes viable. The water leaving those operations is therefore still colder than the surroundings, and a further benefit can be extracted by passing this water through underground pipes, thereby cooling agricultural soil. This reduces evaporation, and even causes water to condense from the atmosphere. This allows agricultural production where crops would normally not be able to grow. This technique is sometimes referred to as "cold agriculture" or "cold-bed agriculture".

Franjo Kluz

Franjo Kluz (19 September 1913 – 14 September 1944) was a Yugoslav pilot from Bosnia and a People's Hero of Yugoslavia. He is best known as one of the founders of the Partisan air force, and served as an officer in No. 352 Squadron RAF.

Early life and career
Franjo Kluz was born in Jošik, near Bosanska Dubica. In 1931 he graduated from the Yugoslav reserve officers school as a sergeant-pilot. After the Axis invasion and establishment of Independent State of Croatia in 1941 he was drafted into the Air Force of the Independent State of Croatia and was stationed in Banja Luka.

In the second half of May 1942, like Rudi Čajavec before him, he defected to the Partisans with his Potez 25 aircraft. From the improvised airfield near Prijedor he carried out a number of sorties against Axis forces, the most notable being the attack on an Ustaša column near Orahovo on 4 June. His plane was destroyed by hostile fire on 6 July.

He then became a member of the Partisan command for Bosanska Krajina region. As a member of the command staff, he was required to be a Party member and on 14 August 1942 he was accepted as a member of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia.

On 14 October Kluz became the station commander of the First Air Base of the Yugoslav National Liberation Army (YNLA) in Livno. After the German offensive, Kluz was sent, with 200 men, to Allied-controlled Italy, where they received training, equipment and aircraft from the RAF. Kluz was commissioned as a Pilot Officer in the RAFVR, with the service number 178171.

Kluz became a member of the 1st Air Squadron of YNLA (Prva eskadrila, NOVJ), otherwise known as No. 352 Squadron RAF. On 14 September 1944, he was shot down in his Spitfire and killed by German AAA over Omiš. For his wartime service, Franjo Kluz was posthumously awarded the Order of a People's Hero of Yugoslavia.

Legacy
His unusual distinction of being 'an officer and a gentleman' in His Britannic Majesty's Royal Air Force whilst simultaneously being a member of the proletariat's Communist Party is, in reality, unlikely to be unique, but there will certainly be very few other RAF officers who have become a national Hero, whether of Yugoslavia, or any other country. A clothing factory in Belgrade was named in his honour. The company Kluz padobrani makes parachutes to this day.

A printing company in Omiš is also named after Kluz. An aero club in Zemun is also named in his honour. Streets in Skopje and in Novi Sad are also named after Kluz. The Franjo Kluz elementary school also existed in the Koševsko brdo neighbourhood of Sarajevo (since renamed Mehmed-beg Kapetanović Ljubušak elementary school).

Burnhope Reservoir

Burnhope Reservoir is a reservoir above the village of Wearhead, County Durham, England.

The reservoir was created by the construction of an earth embankment dam across the valley of Burnhope Burn, a tributary of the River Wear, 1 km above Wearhead. Construction of the dam began in 1931 and was completed in 1937; an extensive network of narrow gauge railways, the Burnhope Reservoir railway, was used during the construction of the dam. Filling of the reservoir commenced in 1936 and resulted in the drowning of the former village of Burnhope.

Burnhope Reservoir was a joint project of the Durham County Water Board and the Sunderland and South Shields Water Company. It is now owned and operated by Northumbrian Water. The reservoir supplies water to the Wear Valley treatment works at Wearhead and there is a pipeline connection to Waskerley Reservoir, which supplies Honey Hill water treatment works. The reservoir serves as the source to meet regulated discharges into the River Wear and to compensate for abstraction of water at Chester-le-Street further downstream.

Merge of added information
Good idea to break out the ships; and yes, they should probably have their own article, I guess; which would allow us to group them with other such ancient ships, like the Vasa, the Roman ships of Pisa, etc. A good deal more can be said about the ships but I'm feeling awfully lazy this morning. (The Museo dei Navi di Nemi is the only place I've seen an ancient Roman bilge pump, for example! although I wish my photograph were better....)

The minor details, on the other hand, I reverted: keeptogether spaces prevent awkward line breaks (sentence beginning with "A", and all the rest of the sentence on the next line; numbers separated from their noun, etc.) Also, "18th century churches" is not correct English — 18th‑century churches" is what's needed. (Rule: Nth century when substantive, Nth‑century when adjectival. "Church built in the 18th century; an 18th‑century church.") Bill 10:20, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Oh, and forgot to mention it — haste makes waste! — I reverted Diana Nemorensis, because, though it does not have an article on Wikipedia yet, it should eventually; and — largely because of Nemi and Frazer etc. — that's not the same as a generic article on Artemis. Bill 11:11, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Walter Aston, 9th Lord Aston of Forfar

Walter Aston, 9th Lord Aston of Forfar (15 September 1769 – 21 January 1845) was a son of Walter Aston, 8th Lord Aston of Forfar, and Anne Hutchinson. He was an ordained clergyman of the Church of England, and became the Vicar of Tardebigge, Worcestershire and Tamworth, Warwickshire.

He married on 15 June 1802, Elizabeth Haines, daughter of Rev. Nathan Haines.

In 1805, he succeeded his father as Lord Aston of Forfar in the peerage of Scotland. While he assumed and bore the title of Lord Aston of Forfar, and it was recorded by the County of Worcester, he presented a petition in 1819 to be officially declared Baron Aston of Forfar, for which no decision was made.

He and his wife had no children. She died in 1833, and he died on 21 January 1845, when his title fell into abeyance and became extinct.
