Gravity outside our Solar System

Many of the mysteries in the standard model of the universe are the result of making two wrong assumptions without proof. In fact the appearance of the mysteries and puzzles is proof that these assumptions are wrong and need to be corrected.

The first wrong assumptions is that the gravitational theory and gravitational constant, while accurately based upon observations in our solar system, can also be used at large galactic distances. This has led to the need for the masssive fudge factor, Dark Matter, to explain the flat (constant) rotational velocity at the outer edges of spiral galaxies (Vera Rubin), and, earlier, the unusual motion of groups of galaxies (Fritz Zwicky). Our introduction of expanded gravity will remove the need for Dark Matter.

The concept of Expanded Gravity is simply the consideration that the gravitational constant itself may also depend upon distance. This can be tested by using only one additional term in a power series expansion of the gravitational constant by adding a term linear in distance A*r - and then seeing if the observations published by others show if the coefficient A of this additinal linerar term is zero or non-zer. The rotation curves of spiral galaxies permit a determination of the non-zero value of the coefficient A.

This theory involves distance and is different from the MOND theory of Milgrom which involve acceleration.

The second wrong assumption (also related to gravity) is that the Red Shift is due to the Doppler Effect and can be used to determine the receeding velocity of stars and galaxies. Actually there are three other contributions to the measured Red Shifts and they only depend upon gravity, and not on velocity.

The first gravitational contribution is the redshift for photons leaving stars and galaxies.

The second gravitational contribution is related to the Expanded Gravity Long Range (EGLR) gravitational effect that explains Dark Matter.

The third gravitational contribution is due to gravitational drag on photons traveling long distances - this is similar to the tidal energy transferred to the earth by the moon - without requiring physical contact.

This third contribution predicts tired light linear with distance - and supports the early tired light suggestion of Fritz Zwicky because it reduces photon energy (red shift) without requiring scattering collisions that would blur the remote images of stars and galsaxies - and answers this objection.

Consequences of the reexamination of the meaning of the red shift is the questioning and possible reformulation of the standard model of the universe including the expanding universe, the acceleration of the expansion, Dark Energy, the meaning of the Hubble Constant, the age of the universe, the Event Horozin, and the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). Also explained is the reported gaps in the redshifts over small angular viewing ranges, and the measured transverse velocities of remote galaxies - apparently larger than the velocity of light. Correcting the distance deduced from the redshift would eliminate this puzzle.

The standard model of the universe has too many problems to survive unchanged and according to Ockham' Razor, (try Google search on the correct spelling) a simplier model is preferable.

This is my first posting so there may be problems. Please make corrections.

Adolf Ziegler

Adolf Ziegler (16 October 1892 – 11 September 1959) was a German painter and politician. He was tasked by the Nazi Party to oversee the purging of what the Party described as "degenerate art", by most of the German modern artists. He was Hitler's favourite painter. He was born in Bremen and died in Varnhalt, today Baden-Baden.

Life
Born to an architect father and a family of architects on his mother's side, Ziegler was always surrounded by artists. He studied at the Weimar Academy from 1910 under master of technique Max Doerner at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich. However, the First World War interrupted his studies when he signed up to become a front-line officer. After the war, he settled in Munich and continued his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich in 1919, where he attended classes by art nouveau artist Angelo Jank. He ultimately achieved the position of professor at the Munich Academy in 1933, when the Nazis came to power. His works fitted the Nazi ideal of "racially pure" art, and, as the President of the Reich Chamber for the Visual Arts, he was entrusted with the task of eliminating avant-garde styles. This he did by expelling Expressionist artists such as Karl Schmidt-Rottluff. Writing to Rottluff, he forbade him from any artistic activity "professional or amateur".

Already a member of the Nazi Party in the early 1920s, he met Hitler in 1925 and became one of his advisors in artistic matters. Hitler commissioned Ziegler to paint a memoriam portrait of his niece, Geli Raubal, who had committed suicide. In 1937 he painted the Judgement of Paris, which Hitler personally acquired some time later, hanging it in his residence at Munich—Hitler later also hung Ziegler's The Four Elements at a residence in Munich. It became an overnight sensation through frequent reproduction. This painting was much liked, judging by the enormous numbers of postcards and reproductions of it sold. The Nazi celebrations of the human figure without conflict or suffering were immensely popular. By this time, Ziegler had become the foremost official painter of the Third Reich and was awarded the Golden Party Badge, in recognition for outstanding service to the Nazi Party or State.

Not much is known about his early works except that his early style exhibited modernist forms. Exiled museum director noted in the late thirties that Ziegler was

"in former times a modern painter and a zealous admirer of the works of Franz Marc.…His transmutation proceeded by slow degrees.…before he took this position, he was one of the most extreme modern painters, but one of inferior rank."

There are no examples of such early works. He gave up the modern style for a representational and realistic style in the 1920s, during which time he had increased contact with Hitler. Ziegler exhibited eleven canvases at the Great German Art Exhibitions at the House of German Art between 1937 and 1943. A technically accomplished painter, Ziegler was known for mainly floral compositions, genre paintings, allegorical paintings inspired by Greek mythology, portraits, and numerous female nudes. His static, pseudo-classical nudes depicted ideal Aryan figures. In an interview with American playwright Barrie Stavis, Ziegler explained that a painting of a beautiful nude German woman encourages the ideal of a perfect body and gives German men the incentive to have many German children. However, the artistic ‘naturalism’ of the racially pure figures left nothing to the imagination, earning him the disparaging nickname of ‘Meister des Deutschen Schamhaares' ("Master of German Pubic Hair").

Role in the Degenerate Art Exhibition
Ziegler occupied several important administrative positions during the Third Reich. He was appointed Senator of the Fine Arts at the Reich Chamber of Culture in 1935. Propaganda Minister Goebbels later appointed him to the Presidential Council, then vice-president of the Reich Chamber of Art. Finally, on December 1, 1936, he succeeded architect Eugen Hönig as president of the Chamber of Art, which then had 45,000 members. Ziegler's replacement of Hönig as president was a clear signal of the Reich's growing distaste for nonconformity in the arts.

Ziegler served as the president of the Prussian Academy of Arts in 1937.

Ziegler headed a five-man commission that toured state collections in numerous cities, hastily seizing works they deemed degenerate. The works were then rushed to Munich for installation in the narrow rooms of the Hofgarten arcade for display, including some 16,000 examples of expressionist, abstract, cubist and surrealist works of art. The paintings of such "degenerate" artists, including the works of Max Beckmann and Emil Nolde, were confiscated on Ziegler's orders as head of the sluice commission. Ziegler managed to organize the Degenerate Art Exhibition in Munich in less than two weeks. On July 19, 1937, he opened the exhibition and condemned those museum directors from whose collections the works came and their tolerance of the decadent art. However, his name must not be confused with that of Hans Severus Ziegler, who organized in May 1938 the Entartete Musik or Degenerate music exhibition in Düsseldorf.

Second World War and after
During the Second World War, Ziegler was temporarily sent to a prison camp after he publicly expressed doubts about the viability of Hitler's campaign. When Hitler was notified of Ziegler's “defeatist” attitude, he ordered his arrest. Ziegler was arrested by the Gestapo and imprisoned in the Dachau concentration camp for six weeks. However, Hitler personally ordered that he be released from Dachau and be allowed to retire.

Because his paintings were so closely associated with Nazism, Ziegler was unable to successfully revive his career as an artist after the war. He repeatedly petitioned for reappointment to the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich from 1955 to 1958, but was denied because the Academy determined that he initially received the position due to Hitler's personal appointment. There were some reports that Ziegler exhibited works in 1955 at the Ben Uri Gallery in London, but the gallery's records indicate the artist was an “Adolf Zeigler,” a Jewish painter from London, not the German Ziegler. He also wrote a response to Paul Ortwin Rave's first-hand accounts of the Entartete Kunst exhibition in Munich, arguing with Rave's assertions. Unable to revive his career, Ziegler lived quietly in the village of Varnhalt near Baden-Baden for the last years of his life. He died 11 September 1959, at the age of sixty-six.

The Playhouse (film)

The Playhouse is a 1921 American two-reel silent comic trick film written by, directed by, and starring Buster Keaton. It runs for 22 minutes, and is most famous for an opening sequence where Keaton plays every role.

Plot
The film is set up as a series of humorous tricks on the audience, with constant doubling, and in which things are rarely what they at first seem to be. It opens with Keaton attending a variety show. Keaton plays the conductor and every member of the orchestra, the actors, dancers, stagehands, minstrels and every member of the audience, male and female. As an audience member, Keaton turns to the "woman" sitting beside him and remarks: "This fellow Keaton seems to be the whole show". This was a jibe at one of Keaton's contemporaries, Thomas Ince, who credited himself generously in his film productions. In interviews with Kevin Brownlow, Keaton claims he gave the director's credit to Cline mainly because he did not want to appear too Ince-like himself: "Having kidded things like that, I hesitated to put my own name on as a director and writer".

This elaborate trick-photography sequence turns out to be only a dream when Joe Roberts rouses Keaton from bed. The bedroom then turns out to be not a bedroom, but a set on a stage.

The second half of the film finds Keaton's character falling for a girl who happens to be a twin. He has difficulty telling the twin who likes him from the one who does not. An uncredited Virginia Fox plays one of the twins. Eddie Cline co-wrote the production and appears, uncredited, as a monkey trainer, whose monkey Keaton impersonates onstage after accidentally letting the animal escape.

Cast

 * 'Buster' Keaton as Audience / Orchestra / Mr. Brown - First Minstrel / Second Minstrel / Interlocutors / Stagehand
 * Eddie Cline as Orangutan trainer (uncredited)
 * Virginia Fox as Twin (uncredited)
 * Joe Roberts as Actor-Stage Manager (uncredited)
 * Monte Collins as Civil War Veteran (uncredited)
 * Joe Murphy as One of the Zouaves (uncredited)
 * Jess Weldon as One of the Zouaves (uncredited)
 * Ford West as Stage Hand (uncredited)

Development
Keaton had fractured his ankle in the film he worked on before this one, so The Playhouse relied more on cinematic techniques and sight gags than stunt work. It references gags from Keaton's vaudeville career with The Three Keatons, and also draws themes from the performances of Annette Kellerman, who employed 100 mirrors to create the illusion that there was more than one of her. While Keaton played all the parts in the first scene of the play, he had considered playing all the parts in the entire film. But he refrained from doing so out of the concern that "audiences might tire of the joke or think he made it as a demonstration of his acting virtuosity". He later regretted not having acted all the parts throughout.

Filming
Keaton's portrayal of nine members of a minstrel show required the use of a special matte box in front of the camera lens. It had nine exactingly-machined strips of metal which could be moved up and down independently of each other. Elgin Lessley, Keaton's cameraman, shot the far-left Keaton with the first shutter up, and the others down. He then rewound the film, opened the second segment, and re-filmed the next Keaton in sequence. This procedure was repeated seven more times. The camera was hand-wound, so Lessley's hand had to be absolutely steady during filming to avoid any variation in speed. Keaton synchronized his movements for each character's dance to the music of a banjo player who was playing along with a metronome – not a problem in a silent film. It was decades before Keaton, who masterminded this, revealed his technique to other filmmakers.

Release
The Playhouse was released on October 6, 1921 and distributed by First National Attraction

Legacy
According to Wild Man from Borneo: A Cultural History of the Orangutan (2014): "The comedy turns on Keaton's extraordinary ability to imitate an ape imitating a man as he dines at a table, smokes a cigar, and then jumps, unscripted, into the auditorium, making a woman faint."

Henry Warburton

Henry Warburton (12 November 1784 – 16 September 1858) was an English merchant and politician, and also an enthusiastic amateur scientist.

Elected as Member of Parliament for Bridport, Dorset, in the 1826 general election, he held the seat for 15 years until his resignation from the House of Commons in 1841. He was returned to the Commons at a by-election in November 1843, for Kendal, but did not seek re-election in 1847.

On Parliament he was active in the reform of bankruptcy, the repeal of stamp duty on newspapers, introduction of the penny post and in the campaigns of the Anti-Corn Law League.

Early life
The son of John Warburton of Eltham, Kent, a timber merchant, he was educated at Eton College, and at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was admitted 24 June 1802, aged 18. He was in the first class of the college examinations as freshman in 1803, and as junior soph in 1804. He was admitted scholar on 13 April 1804, graduated B.A. (being twelfth wrangler and placed next to Ralph Bernal) in 1806, and proceeded M.A. in 1812. George Pryme knew him in his undergraduate days, and both Bernal and Pryme were later his colleagues in politics.

For some years after leaving the university Warburton was engaged in the timber trade at Lambeth, but his taste for science and politics ultimately led to his abandoning commercial life. He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society on 16 February 1809. William Hyde Wollaston was his closest friend, and in the autumn of 1818 they made a tour together on the continent. When Michael Faraday desired to become F.R.S., Warburton felt objections to his election, thinking that he had in one matter treated Wollaston unfairly. Correspondence ensued, and these objections were dispelled.

Warburton was also a member of the Political Economy Club from its foundation in 1821 to his death, bringing before it on 13 January 1823 the question 'how far rents and profits are affected by tithes'. David Ricardo was one of his friends, and often mentions Warburton in his Letters to Malthus. 'Philosopher Warburton,' as he was known, was one of the leading supporters of Henry Brougham in founding London University, and was a member of its first council in 1827.

In politics
At the general election of 1826 Warburton was returned to parliament in the Radical interest for the borough of Bridport in Dorset, making his first long speech on 30 November on foreign goods, and was re-elected in 1830, 1831, 1833, 1835, 1837, and 1841, all of the elections after the Reform Bill being strongly contested. On 8 September 1841 he resigned his seat for that constituency on the ground that a petition would have 'proved gross bribery against his colleague' in which his own agent would have been implicated. It subsequently came out that before the passing of the Reform Bill he himself had paid large sums of money improperly to certain of the electors. The question whether bribery had been practised at Bridport was referred to a select committee, but nothing resulted from its investigations. Warburton was out of the house until 9 November 1843, when he was returned for the borough of Kendal.

In the House of Commons he worked with Joseph Hume, and after 1832 found fresh colleagues in Charles Buller, George Grote, and Sir William Molesworth. The medical reformers selected him as their advocate. He brought forward on 20 June 1827, and Robert Peel supported, a motion for an inquiry into the funds and regulations of the College of Surgeons. He was chairman of the parliamentary committee on the study of anatomy, which began its sittings on 28 April 1828, and after one failure, through the action of the House of Lords, succeeded in 1832 in carrying an anatomy bill. A committee on the medical profession was appointed on 11 February 1834, and Warburton became its chairman. He examined Sir Astley Cooper, Sir Charles Bell, and many others; but the conclusions of the committee were not submitted to parliament.

Warburton took an active part in 1831 in debates on bankruptcy. Early in 1833 he formed a project with Grote and John Arthur Roebuck for establishing a society for the diffusion of political and moral knowledge. He was intent in February 1835 on arranging a union of the Whigs under Lord John Russell with the followers of Daniel O'Connell; and it was he that sent to O'Connell a bundle of circulars from Russell, asking his friends to meet him at Lord Lichfield's house in St. James's Square, from which action resulted the Lichfield House compact. Warburton was for the repeal of the newspaper tax, and was active in the work of the Anti-Corn Law League. On the select committee of the House of Commons on postage in 1837 he strongly supported penny postage.

At the dissolution of 1847 he retired from political life, saying that the reforms which he had at heart had been made. He died at 45 Cadogan Place, London, on 16 September 1858, aged 73.

Yuncheng

Yuncheng is the southernmost prefecture-level city in Shanxi province, People's Republic of China. It borders Linfen and Jincheng municipalities to the north and east, and Henan (Luoyang and Jiyuan to the east, Sanmenxia to the south) and Shaanxi (Weinan) provinces to the east, south and west, respectively. As of the 2020 census, its population was 4,774,508 inhabitants (5,134,779 in 2010), of whom 928,334 (680,036 in 2010) lived in the built-up (or metro) area made of Yanhu District. One can note than Pinglu County, 205,080 inhabitants in the south, is now part of Sanmenxia built-up (or metro) area.

History

In early China, it was the location of the state of Kunwu. Yuncheng was the site of the Yuncheng Campaign (三打运城), battle between the Kuomintang army and the People's Liberation Army during Chinese civil war.

The famous general Guan Yu from the late Han dynasty was also born in this region.

Archaeology
In July 2022, archaeologists announced a discovery of a 2.8 cm long 5.200 years old stone carving chrysalis in a semi-crypt house at the Shangguo Site in Wenxi County. Archaeologists made suppositions that this house may have belonged to the Yangshao Culture period, based on the unearthed pottery pieces. According to archaeologist Tian Jianwen, discovery of stone carving chrysalises provided significant information for the study of the silkworm culture in China.

Administration
There are 13 county-level administrative divisions under Yuncheng's jurisdiction, including 1 district, 10 counties and 2 county-level cities. The Municipal executive, legislature and judiciary are in Yanhu District (盐湖区), together with the CPC and Public Security Bureau.

Climate
Yuncheng has a continental, monsoon-influenced semi-arid climate (Köppen BSk), with four distinct seasons. Due to its southerly location and position to the north of the Zhongtiao Mountains, allowing for downsloping when winds are from the south, it is among the warmest locales in the province. Winters are cold and very dry, while summers are hot and humid. Monthly mean temperatures range from −0.6 °C in January to 27.5 °C in July, and the annual mean is 14.23 °C. Over 60% of the annual rainfall occurs from June to September. With monthly percent possible sunshine ranging from 45% in March to 54% in May and July, the city receives 2,219 hours of bright sunshine annually, low by Shanxi standards and North China.

Notable people

 * Guan Yu, general and deified historical figure
 * Jing Haipeng, PLAAC astronaut
 * Zhang Ziyi, Chinese zootechnician
 * Gladys Aylward, British missionary who works in the city in the 1930s

Transportation

 * China National Highway 209
 * G59 Hohhot–Beihai Expressway
 * Datong–Xi'an Passenger Railway, with frequent service to Beijing, Taiyuan, and Xi'an. Besides the Yuncheng North Railway Station (near Yuncheng's central city), the railway also has stations at Yongji and Wenxi.
 * Yuncheng Zhangxiao Airport

Sockpuppet?
Hi User:TimLambert. It looks like we may have a sockpuppet operating at Africa Fighting Malaria. As a "recently involved" I thought I'd give you a heads-up. I'm not au fait with the procedure for reporting suspected sockpuppets (it might be too early at this stage), so would welcome any assistance that you can offer. Best regards, --Plumbago (talk) 13:27, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Hi again. Just to say that the problem has been dealt with.  The apparent sockpuppet has been banned indefinitely, while its apparent controller has a 48 hour ban.  Hopefully this has been a learning experience for them.  Cheers, --Plumbago (talk) 16:50, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Mamulique language

Mamulique is an extinct Pakawan language of Nuevo León, Mexico.

Called Carrizo (Carrizo de Mamulique) by Jean-Louis Berlandier, it was recorded in a twenty-two-word vocabulary (in two versions) from near Mamulique, Nuevo León in 1828 (Berlandier et al. 1828–1829, 1850: 68–71). These speakers were a group of about forty-five families who were all Spanish-speaking Christians.

Example phrase
Goddard (1979: 384), citing Berlandier, provides the following phrase for Mamulique, with aha meaning 'water'.

 * aha mojo cuejemad (original transcription)
 * aha moxo kwexemat (IPA approximation)
 * Donne moi de l'eau. (French glossing)
 * Give me water. (English glossing)

Talk:TFN

My issue with the wikilink Thanks for Nothing is that it leads nowhere - you created the Thanks for Nothing article with so little content that it might as well be useless. Just because something can be wikilinked, doesn't mean it has to be. I really don't think that there would ever be an article on the phrase that consists of more than a dicdef and a few examples, and that is why - even if it's not vandalism - the text, "Thanks for Nothing," does not require a wikilink to explain itself. jglc | t | c 14:20, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

Bishop Maginn High School

Bishop Maginn High School was a Catholic high school in Albany, New York. It was a coeducational institution.

The school belonged to the school system of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany. It was accredited by the New York State Board of Regents and the Middle States Association.

In February of 2022, it was announced that Bishop Maginn would close at the end of the 2021-22 school year. The school officially closed on June 29, 2022 after years of declining enrollment and financial difficulties.

History
Bishop Maginn was named after the former Auxiliary Bishop of Albany Edward Joseph Maginn. Two former high schools operated by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany, Vincentian Institute (VI) and Cardinal McCloskey High School, were merged in 1977, creating Bishop Maginn High School in the former McCloskey building. Declining enrollments and an aging Vincentian building made it necessary for the Diocese to use the newer McCloskey building for the new school. The first graduating class from Bishop Maginn was the Class of 1978. Formerly rivals, the students from both VI and McCloskey accepted each other in a harmonious display of unity, adopting an enthusiastic spirit for the new school. When the merger was announced in the spring of 1977, two McCloskey students had the idea to combine the mascots of the two schools - VI's lion and McCloskey's cardinal. David Strazzeri and Mark Kulzer researched and presented several images of the mythical creature to the merger committee. One would become the official Bishop Maginn Griffin insignia and mascot. The coat of arms for the newly created school contains the line 'Veni Lumen Cordium', which in Latin means 'Come light of the heart'.

In 2015, it was announced that due to declining enrollment and financial difficulties, Bishop Maginn would move to the former Cathedral Academy building in downtown Albany. The school relocated to the former Cathedral Academy for the 2015–2016 school year. Bishop Maginn's former building on Slingerland Street was leased to Green Tech High Charter School in March 2016.

The school was noted for its Karen population from Myanmar, for which much of the baseball team was Karen refugees.

On February 16, 2022, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany announced that Bishop Maginn High School would close at the end of the 2021-2022 school year. Declining enrollment was cited as the reason. The school officially closed its doors on June 30, 2022.

Independent Economic Party (Namibia)

The Independent Economic Party, initially known as the Mandate Party, was a political party in South West Africa, today Namibia. It was established in March 1955 by a pro-apartheid conservative White group consisting of Germans and Afrikaners in response to the statement of then-South African prime minister Daniel François Malan that the mandate of South Africa over South West Africa had lapsed. The party stood for the renewal of the mandate. It contested the November 1955 legislative election unsuccessfully under the name Independent Economic Party.

DSEI

Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI, formerly stylized DSEi) is a biennial defence and security trade exhibition which serves as a forum between governments, national armed forces, industry, and academics, held at ExCeL London.

DSEI 2019 comprised c. 1700 exhibitors from 58 countries, and DSEI 2023 is scheduled for 12–15 September 2023.

DSEI's history
In 1999, the UK's Labour Government privatised the joint British Army and Royal Navy Exhibitions which had taken place since 1976. Exhibition company, Spearhead, launched DSEI (then known as Defence and Systems Equipment International) and the first event took place at Chertsey, Surrey.

In 2001, the exhibition moved to its current location at the ExCeL exhibition centre in London Docklands. DSEI rebranded in 2009 to Defence and Security Equipment International.

Current ownership
In April 2008, Clarion Events acquired DSEI.

Controversy
In 2007 two exhibitors were expelled by the then organisers, Reed Exhibitions, after distributing brochures advertising leg irons.

In 2011 DSEI ejected two exhibitors promoting cluster munitions which are banned by the UK.

In 2021 Amnesty International reported a brochure listing "waist chains and cuffs with leg cuffs" by a company at the event.

Thus the event attracts campaigns against it, which have included attempts to disrupt the set-up of the event.

Criticism
DSEI frequently attracts protests from those opposed to the promotion of weapons in London, who are critical of nation states that are allowed to attend or of the equipment promoted.

In 2019, London Mayor Sadiq Khan criticised the event, stating "London is a global city, which is home to individuals who have fled conflict and suffered as a consequence of arms and weapons like those exhibited at DSEI. In order to represent Londoners’ interests, I will take any opportunity available to prevent this event from taking place at the Royal Docks in future years."

More than 100 protestors were arrested for blockading the event in 2017, with the Supreme Court subsequently ruling on proportionality.

Amnesty International has criticised the event for selling weapons of torture and for providing weapons that have been traced to attacks on civilians. In 2019 AI made a spoof video highlighting the event and criticising its activities.

Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT) regularly campaigns against DSEI citing that many of the official military and security delegations that attend the exhibition represent human rights abusing regimes such as Egypt, the UAE, Bahrain and all countries on the UK Government's own list of "countries of concern". One regime that CAAT highlights is Saudi Arabia which has been one of the leading countries involved in the war in Yemen which CAAT states "has seen the deaths of thousands of civilians, and estimated arms sales to the coalition around £18 billion since the conflict began in 2015".

DSEI 2021
DSEI 2021 took place 14–17 September 2021, despite Sadiq Khan's protestations. It gave an exhibition of land, aerospace, naval, joint and security capabilities, with an extensive keynote and seminar programme as well as the debut of DSEI Connect, a virtual platform created to give access to DSEI content and business development opportunities for those unable to attend in person.

DSEI stakeholders
Fully endorsed by the UK Ministry of Defence and the Department for International Trade, DSEI maintains a strong standing with the Royal Navy, the British Army and the Royal Air Force.

Population of East Anglia
information already contained in East Anglia article, maybe worthy of a redirect Babajobu 14:22, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep and expand. Article will eventually need to be forked off anyway. -- Natalinasmpf 14:51, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete (without prejudice to further articles there). The info there is nonsense, East Anglia has rather more than ten thousand people.  Morwen - Talk 15:25, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete This article could easily be turned into a list of areas conjoining East Anglia. No need for them all to have on page just for one sentence. Consider expanding this if someone can come up with figures for gender ratio, age dispertion, population concentration, per capita income, etc.Telesque 16:18, July 12, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, hoax (incorrect info), and of course the population of East Anglia could and should be given in the East Anglia article. Dcarrano 16:26, July 12, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, a simple fact like population obviously doesn't need to be in its own article. Phoenix2 18:54, July 12, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, even if the figure were accurate. Contrary to Natalinasmpf's assertion, I think there is enough room in the East Anglia article for a single number, and there will likely remain to be for some time. -R. fiend 20:26, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

Elijah Steele

Elijah Steele (November 13, 1817 – June 27, 1883) was an American attorney, jurist, Indian agent, and pioneer of Wisconsin and Northern California. He served as a delegate to Wisconsin's first constitutional convention, and was a member of the Wisconsin State Senate and the California State Assembly. For the last four years of his life, he was a California superior court judge.

Early life
Born near Albany, New York, Steele was raised in Oswego.

Career
After reading law in the office of Grant and Allen, he was admitted to the New York bar in 1840. He moved west in 1841, practicing law in both Illinois and Wisconsin. Steele was a member of the first Wisconsin constitutional convention of 1846, and briefly served in the Wisconsin State Senate.

In 1850, Steele traveled to California, prospecting at Shasta, Scott River, Greenhorn and Yreka, among other claims. Before returning to the practice of law on a permanent basis during the mid-1850s, he engaged in a variety of occupations, including express company operator and driver, butcher and rancher. As a Republican Party leader, Steele campaigned actively for Abraham Lincoln in 1860 and was himself elected to the California State Assembly in 1867, where he served as chairman of the judiciary committee. Steele was elected a Superior Court judge for Siskiyou County in 1879 and held the office until his death. In 1865, he was the founder of the Siskiyou County Agricultural Society and served as its first president. During the early 1860s Steele was Agent of Indian Affairs for the Northern District of California, in which office he secured a treaty (known as the Valentine's Day Treaty) with the Modoc Indians which may well have averted the later Modoc War, had the treaty been ratified. During the war with the Modocs (1872–1873), Steele worked tirelessly to secure both peace and justice for the tribe, drawing accusations and recriminations, particularly from Oregon settlers who sought the executions of Modoc raiders.

Personal life
Steele was married three times, to Lucia Hart (1843–1853), to Louisa B. Hamblin (1858–1866) and to Louisa Lanze (1875–1883). Steele's first name is frequently erroneously reported as Elisha. This is due to an original misreading or misrecording of an early California voter list. This error first received wide circulation in Keith A. Murray's groundbreaking, The Modocs and Their War in 1959 and it has often been repeated. Steele's grave marker, in Yreka, California's Evergreen Cemetery, clarifies this discrepancy, as does his obituary in the Yreka Journal of June 30, 1883.

Large chequered skipper

The large chequered skipper (Heteropterus morpheus) is a species of butterfly in the family Hesperiidae. It is the single member of the monotypic genus Heteropterus. The species can be found in isolated populations in Europe and east across the Palearctic to Central Asia and Korea. It is endangered in the Netherlands.

Taxonomy
Formerly, the genus Heteropterus also included the following species:
 * Heteropterus formosus Butler, 1894 - transferred to Willema formosus (Butler, 1894)
 * Heteropterus willemi Wallengren, 1857 - transferred to Willema willemi (Wallengren, 1857)

Description
The length of the forewings is 15–18 mm. The butterfly has a very distinctive and attractive underside but a drab upperside (which is rarely seen, as it usually settles with wings closed). The upper side is quite dark brown and it is the reverse which is characteristic with brown fore wings in part covered by the hind wing and in the visible part the same ornamentation as the hind wings, on an ochre ground three lines of spots white ovals surrounded by black and a white border cut with black.

Description in Seitz
H. morpheus Pall. (= steropes Schiff.) (87 b). Forewing above black with 3 apical dots and a spot each in cellules 4 and 5. Some females have on the hindwing a row of 4 or 5 yellow dashes and a small dot in the cell. The forewing bears beneath a spot in the cell, another proximally to the apical dots and a narrow short band near the margin. The hindwing has three rows of oval, mother-of-pearl spots which are surrounded by small yellow spots, there being also a narrow yellow band near the margin. The butterfly is called "mirror" on account of the mother-of-pearl spots. Europe, Asia, eastwards to Japan.

Distribution and habitat
In France, it has been seen in the south west including, in 2011, the Hautes-Pyrénées department.

Behaviour and ecology
The butterfly is on the wing from June to August, depending on the location. The flight is just as distinctive as its appearance and indeed provides immediate identification of the species: it appears to bounce through the air with little sense of direction, almost as if drunk.

The larvae feed on Eriophorum, Poa annua, Calamagrostis canescens, Brachypodium and Molinia species (including Molinia coerulea).

Leyburn

Leyburn is a market town and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, sitting above the northern bank of the River Ure in Wensleydale. Historically in the North Riding of Yorkshire, the name was derived from 'Ley' or 'Le' (clearing), and 'burn' (stream), meaning clearing by the stream. Leyburn had a population of 1,844 at the 2001 census increasing to 2,183 at the 2011 Census. The estimated population in 2015 was 2,190.

History
Leyburn was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 but had no recorded population. The much later growth of Leyburn as a major hub is linked to the decline in fortunes of nearby Wensley, which had prominence as the only market town in Wensleydale; the village had received its Royal Charter in 1202 but declined dramatically after being devastated by the plague in 1563. In fact, the once important and prosperous town was mostly abandoned. Leyburn's stature increased by the 17th century when a market charter was granted by Charles II in 1686. Leyburn Town Hall was built in 1856 by Lord Bolton, and now houses several shops. In 1870-72 John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Leyburn.

The town lies within the Richmond (Yorks) parliamentary constituency, which is under the control of the Conservative Party. The current Member of Parliament since the 2015 general election is Rishi Sunak, the current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

Geography

Leyburn is close to a meadow nature reserve called Leyburn Old Glebe.

Demography
According to the 2011 United Kingdom census, the ward of Leyburn (including Harmby) had a total resident population of 2,554, with 1,335 females and 1,219 males. 98.2% of the population identified as white British, 1.1% as other white, a total of 1.8% identified as being of a non-white ethnic background including 0.5% Asian British, and 0.7% as black, Afro-Caribbean or black British. The place of birth of the town's residents was 95.5% United Kingdom, 1.5% from European Union countries, and 2.5% from elsewhere in the world. 75.6% described themselves as having religious beliefs; 74.9% of those were Christian, 0.8% is made up of all other religions, the largest being buddhism at 0.4%, 16.2% stated they had no religion and 8.2% did not state a religion.

''FYI was also the name of a fictional newsmagazine on the television series Murphy Brown. FYI was also the name of a 1980s daily information program on ABC. Film Your Issue is an annual filmmaking competition. FY_, a play on the common "FYI". Here you change the last letter of the acronym to match the first letter of your name. For instance, if your name is "Jeff", you would "FYJ" someone (that is to say, you would "For Your Jeff" them). FYI is a common abbreviation of For Your Information.''

FYI in Swedish - Trivia
FYI as an abbreviation is commonly used in emails inside companies in Sweden, also Swedish language ones, even if FYI only stands "for your information" and nothing special in Swedish. However FYI does look like FY! and can be interpreted as that to someone not aware of this acronym. "Fy" in Swedish is often said to misbehaving children or dogs and means Shame or Naughty. --194.17.253.121 (talk) 07:56, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
