Talk:Lebanese Armed Forces

BOOSTER
The Lebanese Army is one of the most trained in the world but lacks the modern weapons and fighting systems. Lebanese soldiers are sent to be trained in Europe and USA, they score very high points in training in most cases as their Americans and Eoropeans counterparts, but due to political restrictions both internal and external, the Lebanese Army is unable to arm itself niether in quantity nor in quality.

Keep the part about the air force
Keep the part about the air force. It's about the armed forces so all branches should be included. Mrld 17:05, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

ATTACKER-class patrol boats
Are the ATTACKER-class patrol boats the same as the Australian Attack class patrol boats. The article states the boats are British but the link goes to an Australian made boat (I don't think the Aussies sold any to the Lebanese). Ozdaren 15:29, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

its a british made boat and was formely used by the brits... the link is wrong...--Jadraad (talk) 08:32, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

"Heavily armed security force"?
I was watching the news, and someone brought up an interesting theory, that this entire army is just a force to help police Lebanon, and serve virtually no other purposes. It's quite clear that this force couldn’t hope to stop Israel or Syria if they were to return. They've lost a considerable amount of men to an enemy in most terms, weaker foe, and just 3 days into fighting in Tripoli, they're requesting more ammunition. Just how powerful or reliable IS this military? Or is all this just simply the fact that they lack more donations? Hoboron 23:32, 25 May 2007 (UTC) Hoboron

Special Forces quality
What is about that snake eating bullshit? ''To finalise the process of becoming a Commando each new recruit must undertake the highly regarded Snake meal. This meal occurs at the conclusion of the training and involves the Commando biting off the head of a live poisionous snake with his teeth and eating it'' Unless there is a _reliable_ source it should be deleted immediately - ok I just did so. Sounds like an urban legend. What if there is no poisonous snake at hand - cant you graduate to a special forces member. Furthermore for such a small force to have 8 SF formations is quite a lot. So what is their standard of training? Can they be compared to established SF forces (SAS, SEAL, KSK)? What is the difference between commando and special forces regiment? This needs a lot of work. Right now it seems like the fantasies of a 12-year old lebanes army fan.

-Hasasn Kheireddine's Answer

Concerning the Commando Regiment the "Maghawir", it's true that they eat a snake alive, I don't know whether it's poisonous or not though. And keep in mind that there's not a whole lot of information regarding Lebanon on print. It's a small country, with a small population, Every family in Lebanon knows all the other family names, and their influence in the country; so generally these things are true. In any case, here's a link to the Maghawir during a live show. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=7ad_1249581219 Hasan Kheireddine 02:13, 2 June 2014 (UTC) Hasan Kheireddine

Lebanon is not that small. Everyone does not know all other families! The snake story is highly improbable, and saying that the country is small does not make it more likely.Royalcourtier (talk) 11:18, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

Concerned that this is too much opinion, not enough fact
Seriously, this article reads like a recruitment brochure for the Lebanese Armed Forces. "Lebanese snipers are considered among the deadliest in the world" and other statements are purely subjective. Also references to a country called "Israhell" don't seem to be very NPOV. cook503 (talk) 12:34 AM, 15 January 2007 (EST)

Reccomending new external link
I reccomend this link http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?t=126638 as a new external link, its an unbiased topic, users are familiar with the pictures they post of the LAF, and we can keep a better idea of what the LAF actually uses with the various updates and photos. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hoboron (talk • contribs) 18:52, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

GA?
Did this article go through a GA review? If it didn't then the GA rating must be reverted back to B-class. I can't find its review, so I'm not sure it went through one. --Al Ameer son (talk) 05:26, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Should be nominated now. Let's keep the GA unless it fails the GA assessment later, but most likely it won't. -- Zaher1988 · Talk | Contributions 06:42, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Happy to know you will nominate it, but I'm afraid I will have to remove the GA rating until it passes. It's just how things work here. See WP:GAN to list the article for a reviewer, then add the GA nomination template to the top of this page. Cheers and good luck! --Al Ameer son (talk) 16:13, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Referencing
Since this article will be reviewed soon, it will be necessary to source the first and third paragraphs of the General overview section, the first, third and sixth of the History section (I have a source for the last passage of that section), and many entire subsections of the main Combat history section. Referencing is a vital requirement of Good article. Good luck! --Al Ameer son (talk) 03:34, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Hello, thank you for drawing my attention. I have referenced the mentioned above, except the civil war section of the combat history. -- Zaher1988 · Talk | Contributions 09:59, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Fantastic job! The Civil War section will indeed need to be referenced (GA reviews are much stricter than before), but the vast majority of the article is now sourced. Oh, and this line "This was the first major combat operation for the Lebanese Armed Forces under the Independent Lebanese Government." also needs a reference. Other than that, the GA review should go smoothly. You have done a great job with this article. Cheers! --Al Ameer son (talk) 16:00, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Riding the short bus
What's worse than a garage-band that hasn't "made it" yet? A a garage-band that hasn't even started up yet. Vain, vain, vain. GarrettTalk 04:56, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh dear. Perhpas we may stretch the speedy A7 criteria? This is a group of people with no claim to notability, so it really isn't too different different from a person with no such claim, is it? Usually I'm opposed to speedy criteria for bands, as merely being in a band is some sort of assertion of notability, but this goes out of their way to make it perfectly clear that there is absolutely nothing notable about them. Delete, preferably speedily. -R. fiend 05:10, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * There was a proposal to add a speedy criterion for bands that didn't meet at least one of the WP:MUSIC criteria. It got about 68% yes votes and was held not to have achieved consensus. Therefore, A7 doenst' apply, I'm sad to say. DES 06:01, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy criteria should NOT be stretched. Looking at the debate around the latest proposal, people have very strong feelings about this and many, if not most, expect the rules voted on to be followed strictly. Bear in mind that the margin by which A7 passed was not very large. A7 explicitly talks about articles about "a real person" and can thus not be used for articles on bands, books, intersections, fan fiction characters, high school debating clubs, user-created computer game maps, or pieces of furniture at the Hogwarts school of magic. Which might be unfortunate, but that's the way it is. But do join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion/Proposal/3-C that tries to find a wording for a new proposal for extreme band vanity. Oh, and delete this. / Alarm 18:21, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Silver Trail

The Silver Trail, officially Yukon Highway 11, is a highway in the Canadian territory of Yukon connecting the communities of Mayo and Keno City with the Klondike Highway at Stewart Crossing. It was originally built in 1950-51 as the Whitehorse–Mayo Road, and originally designated as Highway 2. The route was renumbered in 1978 as Highway 11, and in the mid-1980s was given its current name to reflect to the historic operations of silver mining in the district.

The highway is paved for the first 62 km, then continues as a gravel road to the ghost town of Elsa and onward to Keno City. A network of rural roads winds through the area including the former route of the Silver Trail, now called Duncan Creek Road, which runs from Kilometre 68.2 (Mile 68.2 km) of the current Silver Trail to Keno City.

Major intersections
The following is a list of major intersections along the Silver Trail:

Dave MacDonald

David George MacDonald (July 23, 1936 – May 30, 1964) was an American racing driver noted for his successes driving Corvettes and Shelby Cobras in the early 1960s. He was killed in the 1964 Indianapolis 500, along with fellow driver Eddie Sachs.

Sports car career
MacDonald began racing in 1956, competing in a 1955 Chevrolet Corvette on Southern Californian drag strips.

At the 1958 National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Western US Drag Racing Championships at Williams Air Force Base in Arizona, MacDonald set two standing start speed records in a stock 1958 Corvette – 104.68 mph in the ¼ mile and 123.11 mph in the 1/2 mile. Between 1958 and 1962, he drove Corvettes to six more speed records in the 1/4, 1/2 and one-mile distances at annual US speed trials.

MacDonald began competing on the road racing circuit in 1960; his first race was at Willow Springs Raceway on February 13 and 14. He drove a 1957 Corvette to a fourth place finish in the preliminary race, before winning the feature race, recording his first ever victory. By the end of the 1962 season, he had driven Corvettes to 28 victories in 64 races, including 42 top-three finishes. MacDonald’s unique style of drifting through turns at full speed made him a crowd favorite and earned him the nickname "Master of Oversteer".

In June 1962, Zora Arkus-Duntov selected MacDonald and Dick Thompson to do shakedown testing during development of Chevrolet's all new 1963 Corvette Sting Ray. Four days of intensive road testing were performed on a coupe and a convertible at the General Motors Proving Grounds in Milford, Michigan. General Motors (GM) filmed these tests, using the footage to create a promotional film entitled "Biography of a Sports Car". The film was distributed around the globe as part of GM's marketing campaign promoting the new sports car. In September, Duntov and other Chevrolet executives presented MacDonald with the first ever 1963 Z06 Sting Ray. He debuted this car at Riverside Raceway on October 13, 1962. The highly anticipated race also marked the debut of Carroll Shelby’s new Ford Cobra Roadster. MacDonald and Cobra driver Billy Krause exchanged the lead during the first hour of competition, before both vehicles dropped out with mechanical troubles.

At the beginning of the 1963 season, Carroll Shelby hired MacDonald away from Chevrolet to drive his Cobra Roadster. MacDonald's first outing for Shelby American was on February 2nd and 3rd at Riverside International Raceway. MacDonald drove Cobra CSX2026 to back-to-back victories; the Cobra’s first wins.

On February 17, 1963, MacDonald finished fourth in Cobra CSX2026 at the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) Daytona Continental, marking the Cobra's first top-five finish in international competition. Shelby retired the 260ci engines after this race and debuted the new Ford 289ci engine at a Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) sanctioned event held at Dodger Stadium between March 3rd and 4th, 1963. MacDonald won both days in the Cobra CSX2026.

During the fall of 1963, MacDonald rose to national prominence after driving Shelby King Cobra CM/1/63 to back-to-back grand prix wins in the two most prestigious road races in the world – the Los Angeles Times Grand Prix and the Monterey Pacific Grand Prix. These were the first wins for the Shelby King Cobra. He finished second at the Hawaiian Grand Prix in Cobra Roadster CSX2136. In recognition of these recent exploits, as well as of his efforts in Grand National competition, MacDonald was awarded the Helms Athletic Foundation’s "Athlete of the Month" medallion for October 1963. MacDonald was only the ninth auto racer to receive this honor since its inception in 1936, and the first to be awarded it during the US football season.

In 1964, MacDonald committed to a full Cobra schedule with Shelby American. On March 1, 1964, MacDonald won the United States Road Racing Championships at Augusta International Raceway in Shelby King Cobra CM/1/63. His average speed of 97.653 MPH was 11 MPH faster than the previous track record set by Fireball Roberts in the Augusta 510. After this victory, Chris Economaki - editor of National Speed Sport News (NSSN), wrote that, "Dave MacDonald just stamped himself as one of today's road racing greats."

On March 21, 1964, MacDonald and co-driver Bob Holbert ran Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe CSX2287 to the GT Class win (fourth overall) in the 12 Hours of Sebring, breaking Ferrari's 6-year win streak in the Grand Touring Division. On April 19, 1964, MacDonald won the Phoenix FIA National Open at Phoenix International Raceway in Shelby King Cobra-Lang Cooper CM/1/64. This was the debut outing for CM/1/64 and its first win.

On May 3, 1964, MacDonald competed in the United States Road Racing Championships at Laguna Seca Raceway in Shelby King Cobra CM/1/64, finishing 2nd between the Chaparrals of race winner Jim Hall and 3rd-place Roger Penske. On May 10, 1964, MacDonald won the United States Road Racing Championships at Kent, Washington, in King Cobra CM/3/63. The victory put him in a tie atop the USRRC Drivers' Championship standings with Hall, with whom he shared the victory lap. This would be MacDonald's last road race before his death, three weeks later, in the Indianapolis 500.

NASCAR career
In 1963, MacDonald competed in a limited number of National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) Grand National races. At his first event, the Golden State 400 at Riverside, driving for Jim Simpson, he finished 12th. Later that season, in the Wood Brothers No. 21 Ford, MacDonald finished second behind Holman-Moody teammate and race winner Fireball Roberts in the Augusta 510.

In 1964, MacDonald signed to run 20 races on the Grand National circuit for Mercury team owner Bill Stroppe. On February 23, 1964, MacDonald competed in the Daytona 500, finishing 10th.

Indianapolis 500 and death
In early 1963, MacDonald signed a two-year contract with Mickey Thompson to run the 1964 and 1965 Indianapolis 500s. MacDonald was to drive one of Thompson's radical low profile rear-engine race cars in that year's event. Thompson's Ford-powered racers were specifically designed to run on 12" tires, and had debuted in the 1963 Indianapolis 500 under Chevrolet power. The cars became known as "roller skates". They were far ahead of their time, but badly designed and difficult to drive. Graham Hill tested the car before the 1963 Indianapolis race and refused to drive it due to its poor handling. This condition was made worse in 1964, after Thompson was forced to redesign the cars to accommodate a new United States Auto Club(USAC) mandated 15 in minimum tire height.

A change Thompson made to improve his cars' stability was to fit them with full-fendered aerodynamic body kits, unheard of in Indianapolis car competition. In addition to MacDonald, a rookie at Indianapolis, Thompson hired veteran road racer Masten Gregory, to drive two of his three cars. Several top Indianapolis veterans had declined offers to drive the revolutionary but undeveloped cars, leaving Thompson without true veteran feedback. Hill tested Thompson's new 1964 design and, as he had the previous year, decided against driving it in the race. Thompson eventually signed veteran Duane Carter to join Gregory and MacDonald.

During the first week of May, all three cars crashed or spun in practice. Gregory abruptly quit the team, citing the poor handling of his car, and Thompson found it difficult to find a replacement, as other available drivers took the advice of Gregory and stayed away. Fifteen-time Indianapolis 500 competitor Eddie Johnson eventually accept Thompson’s offer, joined the team mid-May. It was reported that while out practicing with MacDonald on Carb Day, Jim Clark noticed strange movements from MacDonald's car. Clark reportedly followed MacDonald into the pits, and telling him, "get out of that car, mate - just walk away." According to journalist Chris Economaki, MacDonald was never able to practice with a full load of fuel, due to Thompson's focus on high speeds.

MacDonald qualified the Thompson No. 83 car at an average speed of 151.464 mph, placing him in the middle of row five and in the 14th position. Johnson qualified Gregory's reconstructed No. 84 car, placing it on the outside of row eight and in the 24th position. On Bump Day, the final day of qualifying, Thompson hired Chuck Arnold to attempt to place the No. 82 in the field, and drive it in the race. While preparing for his qualifying attempt Arnold spun twice during separate practice runs and walked away from the ride. With just a few hours left in qualifying Thompson sought out Gregory and asked if he would come back to the team and run the No. 82 car. Gregory, still without a ride for the 500, agreed to try and qualify the car, but refused to run it in the race. Gregory's late day attempt fell short on speed and neither he nor the No. 82 ran the 500.

On race day, after dropping two positions on the opening lap, MacDonald began passing cars, moving back up the field. As he passed Johnny Rutherford and Eddie Sachs, Rutherford noticed that MacDonald's car was very loose. Rutherford later said that, while observing the behavior of MacDonald's car, he thought, "Whoa, he's either going to win this thing or crash." MacDonald was in the 10th position as he came out of turn four and on to the front straight to complete lap two. MacDonald moved left to pass Walt Hansgen - a split second later Hangsen moved left to pass Jim Hurtubise. MacDonald moved further left, during which the front end of his car lifted and he lost control.

MacDonald slid across the track and hit the inside retaining wall, igniting the 45 gallon fuel load which caused a massive fire. His car then slid back up the track toward the outside wall, during which time six more cars became involved. Eddie Sachs, blinded by flames and smoke, hit MacDonald's car broadside, resulting in an even larger fire. The race was red-flagged due to the accident - the first such occurrence in 500 history. Sachs died instantly due to blunt-force injuries, while MacDonald was transported to Methodist Hospital of Indianapolis, dying two hours later. After the race was restarted, Johnson retired the other Thompson car after only six laps. The accident led to safety changes at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, including a USAC requirement that cars carry less fuel, a change which led every team to switch from gasoline to methanol prior to the next year's 500.

Carroll Shelby, Mickey Thompson, and Bill Stroppe were among the pallbearers at MacDonald's funeral. Shelby later commented that, "Dave MacDonald had more raw talent probably than any race driver I ever saw."

Jim Perry (baseball)

James Evan Perry Jr. (born October 30, 1935) is an American former professional baseball pitcher. He pitched in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1959 to 1975 for the Cleveland Indians, Minnesota Twins, Detroit Tigers, and Oakland Athletics. During a 17-year baseball career, Perry compiled 215 wins, 1,576 strikeouts, and a 3.45 earned run average. He won the Cy Young Award in 1970 and was a three-time MLB All-Star. He and his younger brother Gaylord Perry, who were Cleveland teammates in 1974–1975, became the first brothers to both win 200 games in the major leagues, and remain the only brothers to both win Cy Young Awards.

Career
Perry was born in Williamston, North Carolina and attended Campbell University until being signed by the Indians in 1956. He is the older brother of Hall of Fame pitcher Gaylord Perry. The Perry brothers trail only the Niekro brothers (Phil and Joe) for career victories by brothers. In 1959, Jim Perry came in 2nd to Bob Allison in the Rookie of the Year vote. Perry followed up with an 18-win season in 1960.

Perry was a three-time All-Star and won the 1970 AL Cy Young Award, when he posted a record of 24–12. Jim and Gaylord Perry are the only brothers in Major League history to both win Cy Young Awards. He also won 20 games in 1969, and won at least 17 games five times. As a batter, Perry was a switch-hitter and posted a respectable .199 batting average with 5 home runs and 59 RBI in his career. On July 3, 1973, brothers Gaylord Perry (Indians) and Jim Perry (Tigers) pitched against each other for the only regular season game in their careers. Neither finished the game, but Gaylord was charged with the 5–4 loss. Two Norm Cash home runs helped Detroit.

He was the opposing pitcher in three no-hitters, a feat not matched until Zach Plesac, who did so in a single season in 2021.

He is currently tied with Stan Coveleski for 84th on the all-time win list.

Retirement
Following his final year with Oakland, Perry retired to his North Carolina home where he keeps busy with charitable events, especially golf tournaments. His son, Chris, is a professional golfer who has won a tournament on the PGA Tour.

He was selected for membership in Omicron Delta Kappa in 1978 at Campbell University.

On June 11, 2011, Perry was inducted into the Twins Hall of Fame in a ceremony prior to a Twins home game and attended by current members including Rod Carew, Bert Blyleven, Rick Aguilera, Gary Gaetti, Tom Kelly, Jim Rantz, and Tony Oliva.

On November 11, 2012, Campbell University announced that their renovated baseball stadium would be renamed Jim Perry Stadium. Perry attended Campbell University from 1956 to 1959.

Kip Holden

Melvin Lee "Kip" Holden (born August 12, 1952), is an American politician who served from 2005 to 2016 as the Democratic Mayor-President of Baton Rouge and East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana. The parish includes the state capital of Baton Rouge and smaller suburban cities such as Baker, Central City, and Zachary.

He was the unsuccessful Democratic candidate in the November 21, 2015 race for lieutenant governor, losing to Republican Billy Nungesser.

He vacated his position as Mayor-President at the end of 2016 and was succeeded by Sharon Weston Broome, another member of the Democratic Party.

Early life and education
He studied at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, where he graduated Bachelor of Arts in Journalism in 1974. He then studied at Southern University in Baton Rouge where he graduated Master of Arts in Journalism in 1982. He then went to Southern University Law Center in Baton Rouge where he graduated a Juris Doctor in 1985.

Early career
Previous to his political career, Holden was a journalist and later an attorney.

He also worked at the Louisiana Department of Labor as a clerk in the Workers' Compensation Office, at the Baton Rouge City Police as a public information officer, and at the United States Census Bureau as a public relations specialist. He also worked at WXOK Radio in Port Allen as a news director (in 1975 and 1977), at WWL Radio in New Orleans as a Reporter (in 1977 and 1978), and at WBRZ Channel 2, Baton Rouge as a Reporter (in 1978 and 1979).

Since 1991 he has been an adjunct professor of law at Southern University Law Center - Baton Rouge.

He was a Member of the Baton Rouge Metro Council from District 2 from 1984 until 1988. He represented Louisiana State Representative from District 63 from 1988 until 2002. He served as Louisiana State Senator from District 15 from 2002 until 2004

He ran unsuccessfully for mayor-president of Baton Rouge in 1996 and 2000.

2004 election
Holden was elected mayor-president on November 3, 2004, when he unseated the Republican incumbent, Bobby Simpson of Baker. Holden was inaugurated on January 3, 2005.

Holden's election as the first African-American Mayor-President of East Baton Rouge Parish was fostered through the support of his urban black base but also with substantial support from suburban whites, many being Republicans. Support from the latter group was buoyed by backing from Jim Bernhard, CEO of The Shaw Group, and several other figures in business and industry. The dissatisfaction with Mayor-President Simpson was demonstrated in dramatic fashion by the fact that President Bush received 54 percent of the parish vote in his re-election campaign, and then U.S. Representative Richard Hugh Baker received 69 percent. In the same election Holden matched Bush's 54 percent parishwide total.

Holden became a member of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition, an organization formed in 2006 and co-chaired by Mayors Michael Bloomberg of New York City and Thomas Menino of Boston, Massachusetts.

In 2008, Holden was inducted into the Louisiana Political Museum and Hall of Fame in Winnfield.

2008 reelection
In 2008, Holden was elected with 71% of the vote.

2012 reelection
Holden handily won reelection in the nonpartisan blanket primary held in conjunction with the national election on November 6, 2012. One of his opponents, Republican J. Michael "Mike" Walker Sr., a member of the Metro Council, questioned Holden and the city-parish for having provided security services for Louis Farrakhan when the Nation of Islam spokesman addressed a group on October 3 at Southern University. Walker's advertisement includes a video of Farrakhan thanking Holden and the police chief for security services and Farrakhan's escort to Baton Rouge from the airport in New Orleans.

With 115,305 votes (60 percent), Holden defeated three opponents. Walker finished second with 65,972 ballots (34.3 percent). Two Independents held the remaining 5.7 percent of the vote.

2015 lieutenant gubernatorial campaign
Holden led the four-candidate field in the primary with 360,679 votes (33.3 percent), qualifying him to face Nungesser in a runoff, who finished second in the primary with 324,654 votes (30 percent). In a strong third-place was John Young, who polled 313,183 votes (28.9 percent). Departing State Senator Elbert Guillory ran last with 85,460 votes (7.9 percent). In the second round of balloting, Nungesser finished with 628,864 votes (55.4 percent) to Holden's 506,578 (44.6 percent). Holden nevertheless was an easy winner in populous Orleans and East Baton Rouge parishes.

2016 congressional campaign
In 2016, Holden, who was term-limited as Mayor-President in Baton Rouge, ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. House to represent Louisiana's 2nd congressional district held by fellow Democrat Cedric Richmond. The district has long been based in New Orleans, but had been redrawn after the 2010 census to include a slice of western Baton Rouge, including most of the capital's black precincts.

Holden finished with only 20 percent of the ballots cast to Richmond's 70 percent. Sharon Weston Broome, who had succeeded Holden in the state Senate, also succeeded him as Mayor-President after her 52-48 percent victory over Republican state Senator Bodi White in the runoff election held on December 10, 2016.

Hi and thanks
Thanks for your edits to the Memphis article, the lists of movies filmed in Memphis and Memphis theaters were especially helpful. I've made a few changes to the content you added to the article, but a lot of what you added is still there. Unfortunately, it seems your article on Egypt Central doesn't meet the guidelines laid out at WP:MUSIC. When the band has attained one of the criteria listed at WP:MUSIC, Wikipedia will welcome an article on the band. I hope you continue to add positive contributions to Wikipedia, and I wish you all the best. (p.s. I'm a Memphian, too). - Jersyko   talk  20:15, July 27, 2005 (UTC)

Pilgrim (Findley novel)

Pilgrim is a novel by Timothy Findley, first published by HarperFlamingo in Canada in 1999. The first US edition was published by HarperCollins in 2000. The novel is typical of Findley's interest in Jungian psychology; in fact, Carl Jung himself is a major character.

The novel's protagonist is Pilgrim, an immortal who is brought to Jung's clinic in Zürich after his latest suicide attempt. Pilgrim has lived through the ages, moving from one life to another, and claims to be tired of living. Jung takes it upon himself to cure what he sees as a delusion and to restore Pilgrim's will to live. Pilgrim was nominated for the 1999 Giller Prize.

Pilgrim is the inspiration for a contemporary opera, The Dream Healer, composed by Lloyd Burritt, with libretto by Christopher Allan and Don Mowatt. The premiere was March 2008 at the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts at the University of British Columbia. It featured star mezzo-soprano Judith Forst as Lady Sybil Quartermaine, John Avey as Carl Jung, and Roelof Oostwould as Pilgrim.

Parallel play

Parallel play is a form of play in which children play adjacent to each other, but do not try to influence one another's behavior; it typically begins around 24–30 months. It is one of Parten's stages of play, following onlooker play and preceding associative play.

An observer will notice that the children occasionally see what the others are doing and then modify their play accordingly. The older the children are, the less frequently they engage in this type of play. However, even older preschool children engage in parallel play, an enduring and frequent activity over the preschool years. The image of parallel play is two children playing side by side in a sandbox, each absorbed in his or her game, not interacting with the other. "This is considered an early stage in child development, characterized by egocentric behavior and the inability to decenter and coordinate with the activities of a 'playmate'".

In education, parallel play also describes activities where students are divided into pairs or small groups and work on the same activity simultaneously. This gives all students equal opportunity for active involvement and reduces exposure – since all students are playing, none are watching. This stage ends when a child develops the ability to engage in interactive play behavior and symbolic communication.

Parallel play is not only between children, but may also be used in cases of autism, where the adult caregiver parallel plays beside the autistic child.

History
Mildred Parten was one of the first to study peer sociability among 2 to 5-year-olds in 1932. Parten noticed a dramatic rise of interactive play with age and concluded that social development includes three stages. Parallel play is the first of three stages of play observed in young children. The other two stages include simple social play (playing and sharing together), and finally cooperative play (different complementary roles; shared purpose). The research by Parten indicated that preschool children prefer groups of two, parallel play was less likely with age, a majority of the kids chose playmates of the same sex, and that the most common parallel play activities were sand play along with constructive work. Other findings in her study showed that I.Q. level had little impact, siblings preferred to play with each other, home environment was a big factor, and playing house was the most common form of social play among children. Research indicates that these forms of play emerge in the order suggested by Parten, but they do not form a developmental sequence in which later-appearing ones replace earlier ones. All types coexist during the preschool years. Vygotsky believed that play during childhood created a zone of proximal development of the child and guided in intellectual development. Socioeconomic status appeared to only impact associative play, where British children who were used in the study of low socioeconomic status preferred that type of play. This could be explained due to the fact that those kids had fewer toys and more siblings to share toys with.

Developing skills
Parallel play helps children begin language development and create social relationships. Rubin et al.(1976) have suggested that "those who play beside others may desire the company of other children but may not yet have the skills required to play in an associative or cooperative manner". It can also assist with gross and fine motor skills through the child's own individualized play. Parallel play can increase confidence because children are learning to play near others. Children can observe one another and learn to use new skills from playing alongside others. Eventually, it will lead to social development where the child will form relationships with others during play. Parallel play can be useful in encouraging expression of a child's feelings through their own individualized play. The child will increasingly learn to share and become aware of others emotions, as well as learn cause and effect through trial and error of adjusting and solving problems in play.

"Parallel play is often viewed as characteristics of a 'stage' through which children pass as they develop from solitary players to social players". Children will undergo different playing stages in order to finally join people in groups. Analysis published in 2003 in Early Childhood Research Quarterly showed that preschool children, who enjoy watching others engage in parallel play, can have future activities designed to help with transition into higher levels of social interaction. The parallel-play activities can help neglected or rejected children with social transition between social-play states. Smith believed parallel play to be optional and not "After Parallel play, children were most likely to be found in either Together or Group Play". This suggests that parallel play played an important role to this transition.

According to a study performed by Wei Peng and Julia Crouse, parallel play can be used to design games, especially active video games that involve physical activity, to be more effective. Playing with other people, even if those individuals are strangers, was more motivational than playing alone and there does not appear to be a major difference in cooperation and competition between same physical space mode and separated physical-space mode. Also playing with others or online creates an ability to relate to others and parallel competition in separated space is more enjoyable, more physically exerting and creates higher future play motivation.

Children cope differently depending on how they were raised, this also applies to how they cope with unfamiliar beings in their lives. Jens B. Asendorpf refers to parallel play as a child's coping style, and explains that children who want to play with an unfamiliar peer will resort to this style. This coping style allows children to engage in the same activities as their peers from afar, until they are comfortable enough to socialize with their peers.
