Mark Lewin

Mark Lewin (born March 16, 1937) is an American retired professional wrestler.

Early life
Lewin was born in Buffalo, New York. He had two elder brothers, Donn and Ted, both of whom also became professional wrestlers. He attended Lafayette High School.

Professional wrestling career
Lewin was trained to wrestle by his brother-in-law, Danny McShain. He debuted in 1953 at the age of 16.

Lewin had great early success in a matinee-idol babyface tag team with Don Curtis, headlining in major territories like New York and Chicago. The team's brief heel turn was a shock to its many fans. The team split up in the early '60s and Mark embarked on a singles career.

In 1963, Mark first tried out the "Maniac"/"Mad" Mark Lewin persona, which he would alternate consistently with his 'normal' babyface persona for the rest of his career. He wrestled in Australia and New Zealand in the 1960s and 1970s with great success, especially in New Zealand where he drew huge crowds during the tours. He frequently formed a tag team in Australia and New Zealand with King Curtis Iaukea. He also spent time in Detroit working against The Sheik and fellow wildman, Terry Funk. Lewin also wrestled in Vancouver with NWA All Star Wrestling, where he feuded with the likes of Gene Kiniski and "Bulldog" Bob Brown and twice won the Pacific Coast Heavyweight title.

He found a lot of success in World Class Championship Wrestling in the late 1970s and early 1980s before going to Florida Championship Wrestling, where he joined Kevin Sullivan's "cult" as The Purple Haze, another variation of the 'Maniac' gimmick. Lewin competed at wrestling's first Pay-Per-View event Starrcade 1983; he and Kevin Sullivan won their match.

Lewin worked as a booker for Jim Barnett in Australia.

He was one of Sabu's frequent opponents in the 1980s.

Lewin retired in 1988, but came back mid 2003 to work for Eddie Jr. and Thomas Farhat to start up All World Wrestling League/Big Time Wrestling.

Championships and accomplishments

Mamar Kassey

Mamar Kassey is a jazz-pop-ethnic band from Niger. It is named after Askia Muhammad I, a legendary warrior who extended the Songhai Empire into the Sahara.

Style
The band's leader is singer and flautist Yacouba Moumouni. The group combines traditional Zarma-Songhai, Hausa and Fula and rhythms, instruments such as the molo (a lute with a skin-covered body), and modern instruments such as the electric bass. Their sound also incorporates western jazz, Moroccan and Latin music.

Musical career
An eight-piece group formed by Moumouni and guitarist Abdallah Alhassane in 1995, Mamar Kassey have released two albums internationally and toured Europe and the United States multiple times. They came to attention in France after an appearance at the Festival des Nuits Atypiques in Langon in 1998.

They are one of the few Nigerien musical acts known internationally, and much beloved in their home country.

Makida Palabre
In 2004–2005, musicians from Mamar Kassey toured with a group of Breton folk musicians under the name Makida Palabre. The collaboration included Breton musicians Pierre-Yves Prothais, Ronan Le Gourierec, Laurent Carré, and Youen Paranthoen playing Breton/Celtic, western jazz, and West African instruments.

Musicians
The members of the band have changed over the course of the group's existence. The group that performed at the Festival des nomades in Benin in 2000 included:
 * Abdoulaye ALASSANE, (ABDALLAH): guitar.
 * Adamou DAOUDA, (NAGOULI): kalangou.
 * Boubacar Souleyman MAIGA, (BARI): percussion, calabash.
 * Harouna ABDOU : electric bass guitar.
 * Housseïni Namata CHIBAKOU: molo lute.
 * Yacouba MOUMOUNI: flute, vocals.

Talk:Liquid nitrogen economy

Validation needed
It's not good Wikipedia form to cite your own website as an external link. There's no analysis of the practicalities of the proposed system. What is "L2N" supposed to mean, anyway? This article is seriously flawed until it gets some facts, not just hypothesizing. --Wtshymanski 04:32, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

Some figures
According to this paper http://www.phys.unt.edu/~cordonez/IMECE01.pdf

The ideal (Carnot) specific work available by using the heat of vaporisation of liquid nitrogen is given by w =L[(Th/Tc )-1]
 * For liquid nitrogen L, the heat of vaporisation is 200kJ/Kg
 * The boiling point of liquid nitrogen is 77Kelvin
 * The temperature of atmospheric air is ~ 300Kelvin

And this gives 570 kilojoules of energy per kg of Liquid nitrogen Lumos3 15:47, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Yep, and the energy density of gasoline is 45,000 kJ/kg. Do you see the crack-pottery aspect? Plus you've come up with a higher number than I've seen elsewhere which I suspect is faulty; how can you  *more* than the heat of vaporization out of each kg ( you seem to have Th and Tc interchanged)? ...though it doesn't seriously affect the plausibility. And why hasn't the proponenent done even high-school-level maths calculations in his web site? --Wtshymanski 17:02, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Your approach is analytical. However you do seem to grapple disparate approaches, valid enough, you are among good company. Drop the emotive comments.

 * Like any engineer I need time! A solution needs to be complete and compatible, as does your critique. The Carnot engine is a steady state, reversible engine. Why have you just proved the Carnot engine does not achieve the temperature dependant efficiency required of a reversible Carnot engine? Pete

The article you have just quoted is supportive of the exploration liquid nitrogen and heat sink for a Stirling engine or Carnot equivalent. My initial thought, is that you have proved the steam engine is not about to return in force. I view that I share! Pete
 * See No original research. I am unable to find even on the Web any other public discussion of a "liquid nitrogen economy", aside from what appears to be your very own web site. Please cite some other publication that discusses the ramifications of a "liquid nitrogen economy". Your writing style is more than a little opaque and perhaps I'm having trouble understanding you. Please explain to me how making liquid nitrogen at 0.45 kwh/kg and then using in propulsion at a yield never better than 0.055 kwh/kg makes any economic sense or reduces CO2 emissions. An engineering proposal generally is worked out in some numerical detail before it hits public view. Please sign your comments with date and time, using either four tildes in a row ( --~ ) or else the button at the top of the editing window (if you're using Wikipedia's own editor). --Wtshymanski 20:31, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Regarding Lumos3's energy calculations, are you simply measuring the thermal difference? I'd heard about some engines that used the expansion of compressed (or liquified) gases, essentially updated steam engines. Pneumatic engines have a long history of use. I'm not an engineer so I don't know how the force generated by expansion can be calculated. Cheers, -Willmcw 21:59, July 18, 2005 (UTC)

 * The two university research projects listed, though they do not use the exact phrase Liquid Nitrogen economy, show that the idea of using LN as a means of storing energy has been and is on the energy agenda and it deserves a mention on Wikipedia. The phrase itself is not out of place amongst the alternative approaches like Hydrogen economy and ethanol economy. Lumos3 09:39, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
 * I must disagree. No-one else in the world is seriously considering liquid nitrogen as a substitute for petroleum. Yes, you can propel a golf cart across the campus boiling off liquid nitrogen, just as you can get down a hill on a concrete toboggan; but it's not relevant in the slightest to the general problems of energy and environmental issues. The very problems with hydrogen and ethanol are the low density of energy storage, cryogenic liquid handling (for H2, anyway, in some cases) and the poor level of energy returned at use to energy input in manufacture. You could probably run a car on enough D size flashlight batteries, but no-on is proposing *that* as a solution either.  I plan to nominate this article for VfD. --Wtshymanski 14:34, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure what VfD is but it sounds fatal. Would you find the page less offensive with a different name?  Pulling together a sound article that fits well with other well crafted pages takes time.  How about a move to entertaining cryogenic energy usage, Another concrete sledge or Cryogenic energy storage.

 * Take a look at the limitations section and let me know what you think? Add to it as you see fit. --Pete 20:06, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Impracticality is not a criteria for deletion. As long as we use verifiable sources and treat the issue in an NPOIV manner, there is no reason to delete the article. -Willmcw 20:40, July 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * True, there's a lot of impractical things on Wikipedia but they are *identified* as such. The article, as such, discusses something that coesn't exist and so is not a fit subject for an encyclopeida article; this article is in serious danger of *becoming" the only public discussion of its nominal subject. "Cryogenic vehicle propulsion" would be a better place to put the contents, less grandiose than "Liquid Nitrogen Economy".  --Wtshymanski 21:25, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

 * The hydrogen economy does not exist either, nor does the Freedom Tower, yet we have NPOV, sourced articles that properly describe the plans, designs, and problems for those things which may become reality. I think the propulsion suggestion may be too limited, as liquid Nitrogen can also be used for cooling, etc. -Willmcw 22:09, July 19, 2005 (UTC)

 * Wtshymanski Nice edits. Well reasoned. --Pete 18:16, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

Research
This article is intended to be a summary of research, of which there is plenty. Please refrain from expressing your empire building plans.--Pete 19:03, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

(Pete deleted the whole discussion and replaced it with the above statement. Please dont delete a discussion page its seen as very bad behavior in WikiP Lumos3)

Avoiding an edit war
I can see this article getting into a close edit war with every statement in favour being balanced by a qualifying one against. This benefits nobody as the article becomes unreadable. The way out of this is to have the argument for clearly set out and then section(s) arguing against. Please keep for and against arguments within the two areas and refrain from mixing them point by point. Lumos3 21:18, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * The article suffers from the deficiency of not addressing the energy cost of manufacture of liquid nitrogen in the first place. There was text in an earlier revision which I see has been removed that spoke of this problem. The achievable (not Carnot) efficiencies of practical crygen engines have not been tabulated. The SAE paper by Knowlen et al, cited as Reference 1, does not address these points. The article talks about Stirling engines but Reference 1 does not, and seems to be using the nitrogen gas as a working fluid in an expander - this is not a Stirling cycle. The paper does not give a value for "comparable" range - using the figures in the article and 15 kW as typical road power consumption on flat ground at steady 80 km/h, I get a range of about 130 km for the 350 l tank, (20 HP for a light SUV at 50 MPH = 14.9 kW at steady 80 km/h, 70 WH/l *350 L = 24.5 kWH, 24.6/14.9=1.6hrs * 80 = 132 km)  which would be about 1/4 the range one would expect of a gasoline powerered car (and of course much less due to start/stop traffic and the less than Carnot efficiency any practical engine would have).  The paper should perhaps have said "range comparable to a primitive electric car". The 350 litre capacity cited does not yield near as much energy as a 50 litre tank of gasoline, and 3600 litres would be more accurate.  --Wtshymanski 21:51, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
 * While performing our own calculations may be interesting, and serve as a check on references, please remember that actually adding any editor-dereived figures to the article would be original research. Thkans, -Willmcw 22:00, August 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, yes - but multiplying a few numbers is hardly original. In any case that's why the ciphering is here...the referenced paper seems to have a degree of bogosity about it.  Time to nomitate for VfD, I think. --Wtshymanski 00:03, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Any original research, which includes deciding which numbers to plug into an equation, is not worth including. Which paper has bogosity and on what basis do you make that assertion? Thanks, -Willmcw 00:15, August 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * The paper cited in today's version of the article as "Ref. 1", the SAE paper by Knowlen, et. al. - as I referred to at the start of my earlier response today. --Wtshymanski 00:24, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

 * That paper mentions some interesting conclusions. Comparing the use of liquid Nitrogen as a storage medium to lead-acid batteries they find it has a significantly higher specific energy content. They give an estimate of the energy cost, one of your issues, (~0.5 kW-hr/kg-LN2). They discuss the use of a Rankine engine rather than a Stirling engine. 132 km is not far from the range of most electric cars, IIFC. Again, the valid comparison is to batteries, Hydrogen, or other storage medium, not gasoline. If we had gasoline at $.50 a gallon forever then no one would care about these exotic technologies. Finally, this paper seems to have been paid for by the DOE so it has some respectability. It's not just some inventor looking for investors. If you want to apply some hard-nosed editing to an engineering article then I wish you'd take a look at quasiturbine. Bogosity? -Willmcw 06:16, August 16, 2005 (UTC)

One meter cube of liquid N2 = 320 miles ?
The research vehicle used a preheater.

For the Stirling use a precooler.

(Stirling H2 is cooled by N2 exhaust gas before it reaches the N2 liquid

Summary of Nitrogen properties:

http://www.uigi.com/nitrogen.html

.808(199.1+195.8x1.04) = 325.4 Kj per liter

divide by 3600 = .09 KWH/liter or 90 KWH per cubic meter

Total cost per liter to liquefy is $0.22 = $220 per m^3

http://www.rigakumsc.com/cryo/nitrogen.html

Say 80% efficiency and 4 miles per KWH = 320 miles

Incorrect since heat capacity is proportional to °K Need to integrate from boiling to ambient.

Efficiency questions
What is the efficiency of creating a kilowatt of LN2, storing it safely for an hour, and then converting it back to energy at STP? What is the volume of 1 kw of LN2

What is the loss per mile of pipeline?

Liquid Nitrogen Economy: throwing in another factor.
Thanks to all for the interesting discussion on Liquid Nitrogen, it seems it has some efficiency or power density issues. But I'm not solving vehicle power here. Let me introduce a problem from another field: How to store energy generated by wind turbines.

I'm just thinking about base load for the electricity grid. When the wind blows, create lot of LN (or even liquid air) as efficently as you reasonably can, and store it in large insulated tanks. When the wind stops, use the LN to run stirling engines to geneate power.

The size of the tanks is big enough that NH losses due to warming up are small over say a 3 week period while the wind doen't blow (Such a long period is very rare.)

Thank you for opening this discussion. The logic for the use of liquid nitrogen as an energy transfer medium is primarily political, time will tell if the economics make sense.

1. It may be the demand for air conditioning that will push the world into an energy and global warming crisis. 2. Emerging nations will demand air conditioning next in their development. Can you imagine how much energy it would take to provide air conditioning to homes and workplaces in India whose middle class is larger than the population of the US? 3. How is it possible to provide air conditioning without use of fossil fuels and, better, without generating waste heat (which also would need to be removed from the building)? 4. The answer is to use the energy in its final form. Liquid nitrogen is liquid coldness. How can liquid nitrogen be created without the use of fossil fuels? The answer is remotely, where free renewable power is available. There are many orphan sites which have no grid to connect to, offshore Canadian Islands, and Iceland, for instance. 5. I imagine a future day when a tanker of liquid nitrogen enters New York harbor in June, having harvested a winter's produce of liquid nitrogen from windfarms in Labrador. The tanker fills thermal reservoirs where chillers used to sit in the basements of office towers. A simple heat exchanger takes the place of the old chiller and attaches directly to the existing chilled water lines. 6. Yes, liquid nitrogen may not be an efficient way to store energy, but consider the inefficiency of conventional cooling: Coal is transported, burned, water is boiled, turbines are spun, electricity is generated and, then, re-converted to mechanical rotation, and a coolant is compressed and reexpanded. Chemical energy is converted to mechanical, to electrical back to mechanical back to phase change. If all of the conversion energy losses in the conventional cycle are added up they may exceed the carnot inefficiency of creating and then vaporizing nitrogen. I cannot do the math but, when the whole picture is looked at, there is some engineering logic to this idea. 7. The economic logic is a) green cooling will sell at a premium in the future and b) on a hot humid day in Manhattan, in the midst of a brown-out, having stored coolness in the basement of your building would be priceless.

-Great idea, BUT, what is the actual cooling capacity of 1 kg of liquid air? 195(Celsius)* 1000(gram)=195,000 cal or 195 kcal when 1 ton of refrigeration is equal to 3011 kcal...

so, 1 kg of liquid air is actually 0.064 TR. mmmm if this calculation is any close to the correct one (is it?), that really not effective.

Comments by Mechanical engineers are welcome K casbel 08:27, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * If you cannot do the math, you have no base to assert there's any "engineering logic" to this Rube Goldberg or Heath Robinson concept. --Wtshymanski 16:17, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry!
I was trying to split this off as another discussion. Ooops.

Petroleum
There appears to be a POV in this article that petroleum is better. I don't see any sources to say so, but more importantly it's an incorrect comparison. No one is proposing that any alternative energy form is better than petroleum in all respects. If we're going to compare LNE to other topics then hydrogen fuel cells, electric batteries, etc. are the correct comparisons. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 22:03, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 * There's point of view and then there's the laws of physics. A jerry can full of gasoline will run a very comfortable automobile at high speeds for hundreds of kilometers, whereas the same volume of liquid nitrogen, vaporized in some grad student's nightmare of Stirling engines and multiple heat exchangers, will propel a glorified golf cart no more than once around the course. There *is* no liquid nitrogen economy, it's a Wiki fiction, and the promoters of this badly conceived notion won't do the math to understand *why* this concept can't work. I, as an aged and cynical engineering type, understand why of the last 10,000 vehicles to pass by my office today, none of them were propelled by vaporizing nitrogen. But the proverbial bright 12-year-old user of Wikipedia MUST be informed that there's a severe issue with the horrendous energy cost of liquifying the stuff in ton lots in the first place. Also, every "...economy" or "...as energy currency" article must distinguish between a primary energy source like oil, and media useful only for transmission (like hydrogen, and the various further-out proposals here in the Wikipedia). It's not POV, it's physics. This article should have been deleted years ago. --Wtshymanski 22:35, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 * A jerry can full of plutonium carries even more energy. So? This article isn't about plutonium or petroleum. The competitors to liquid nitrogem as an energy storage medium aren't plutonium or petroleum or coal. They are batteries, hydrogen gas, and a few others. ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 23:33, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 * This article would be much better if contributors understood why we don't have jerry cans full of liquid nitrogen or plutonium to fuel cars. --Wtshymanski 00:04, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * We presently carry lead-lined boxes full of acid to provide energy for cars. There are proposals to carry liquid hydrogen, compressed air, or molten sodium to fill the same role. Those are all energy storage media that convert electricity into a form that can be carried and released gradually. Petroleum is not an energy storage medium. We either drill for it or convert coal into it. Once it is uneconomical to obtain, or the carbon concerns make it unwise to use in large quantities, technologies that store cleanly-created electricity will become more and more important. The current cost of building a hydrogen fuel cell car is around $1 million, so other despite the endorsement of President Bush other techniques remain potentially competitive. Liquid nitrogen one of those techniques. It is easier to create and safer than liquid hydrogen. The purpose of this article is to provide a neutral summary of the current engineering and economic status of as an energy storage medium, not to show the advantages of using petroleum over an energy storage medium. ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 00:49, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * And of the last 10,000 cars to pass by my window, none of them were propelled by batteries, either. Why is this so? And what are the reasons that liquid nitrogen will never become economically important as an energy storage medium? Petroleum is important precisely because it is not only a primary energy source but because it can be processed, piped, shipped, and stored with low losses. The present liquid nitrogen article is quite uninformative about the energy losses in each step of the proposed cycle. Until this article faces up to the engineering limitations of boiling cryogenic liquids as energy storage means, it is nothing but pseduoscience. --Wtshymanski 15:00, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Do you think that in 100 years every car is still going to be powered by petroleum? It's possible, but the assumption of scientists and policy makers appears to be that petroleum will be in short supply and that global warming will severely constrain the use of hydrocarbons in combustion. Of course petroleum is better than hydrogen, batteries, or LN in many respects. Whale oil had many advantages as a fuel too, but even so we stopped using it for lighting a hundred years ago when whales became scarce and another fuel became plentiful. Is LN competitive and practical now compared to petroleum? Of course not. Is fusion a competitive and practical source of electricity? Nope, but even so scientists and policy makers invest billions of dollars and thouaands of man-hours on it, and Wikipedia has many articles on the topic. To get back to the point of this thread: huydrogen, LN, and other technologies aren't competitive with petroleum while gasoline sells for $3 or even $10 a gallon. But when gasoline sells for $20, $40, or $100 a gallon then the picture will be different. If a full tank of LN costs $5 and goes 30 miles in a vehicle costing $30,000 that may be competitive with a hydrogen-fuelled vehicle that has twice the range but costs $300,000, and would certainly be competitive with a gasoline-powered vehicle that costs $25,000 to buy but takes $100 worth of fuel to go 30 miles. Or do you believe that petroleum will last forever and that there will never be limits on carbon emissions? ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 19:33, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Not the point. As is typical for this article, there's more analysis and thought in the talk page than is represented in the article itself. If you look at the edit history you find the original major contributor never did address any physical limitations to the scheme; basically the originator ran away with a couple of papers about a grad-student stunt for propelling a vehicle and in a stunning and un-Wikipedia like burst of original research, extrapolated this stunt to a whole world using vaporizing N2 for energy conversion. --Wtshymanski (talk) 01:42, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Political Argument section
I have removed this section which reads like confused waffle. It does not even mention the subject of the article. Please redraft if you want it included. Lumos3 (talk) 12:23, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

The way to utilize liquid N2 or air is in conjunction with combustion or solar heat addition. It is after-all an engine coolant; liquid air also being an oxidizer. It will lower compression work in a gas turbine, thus increasing tank to shaft efficiency to the 70 - 80 % range. There are many sources of renewable energy to drive liquefiers and the current interest in liquefied natural gas is leading to improved liquefier technology. The math has been done.

Is there anything more that needs to be done to expand this article? What was wrong with the tone? El Pollo Diablo | Talk 13:33, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

 * The article doesn't read like an encyclopedia entry. I believe there's too much about the plot. I'd like to see an ISBN number, a list of characters, and an explanation of context. In particular, an explain of the terminology. Since I don't know anything about the subject matter, I can't do much, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you need some help. -D.

i deleted a good portion of this section b/c it contained obvious original research claims. i don't know now whether the tag should be removed or not. also, the section is now quite short, so if anyone can legitimately add to it, please do so. Calric03 16:54, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

All the influences listed are found in the various intros to the softcover editions. As far as expanding the section, why not lsiting the exact manors in which these influences are nodded at; such as Calla Bryn Sturgis for John Sturges, the Sergio Leon poster Jake sees on a Brooklyn street in Waste Lands, etc.Artemisstrong 03:18, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure how significant this is, but is it right to call star wars and harry potter influences? I'm not at all sure how to word this (and it's probably rubbish anyway), but there's a very specific reason that these elements are included in the story. It's more literal than an influence. Sorry I can't explain it better. Mattyp9999 (talk) 12:05, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Una Voce

The Fœderatio Internationalis Una Voce or simply Una Voce (Latin for ‘[With] One Voice’; from the preface to the Roman Canon) is an international federation of Catholic lay organizations attached to the Tridentine Mass.

History
The Fœderatio Internationalis Una Voce (or FIUV) was founded on December 19, 1964 in Paris by Georges Cerbelaud-Salagnac in order to promote the Tridentine Mass from the Pre-Vatican II Missale Romanum (1962). The organization argues that while the Second Vatican Council had introduced vernacular liturgies, it did not actually forbid the Latin Mass, and that regular weekday and Sunday Masses in Latin should be maintained. The organization also seeks to promote Latin Gregorian Chant, sacred polyphony and sacred art. Unlike some of the other Catholic traditionalist organizations, Una Voce seeks to remain faithful to the Pope within the Catholic Church, and asserts that the Tridentine and the vernacular masses should be allowed to co-exist. Among its prominent early members were the composers Maurice Duruflé and Olivier Messiaen.

A number of national associations developed during 1964 and 1965, and in 1966 an international association, the Fœderatio Internationalis Una Voce was formed. It currently has over two dozen national affiliates.

FIUV members value the traditional Latin Mass as direct link with the early Church and for conveying the mystery and majesty of God, but have been critiqued for elitism and for its emphasis on private religious devotion. The group has been described as an “arch-conservative” organization by Episcopal Church organist James E Frazier. However, members of the FIUV reject comparisons to fundamentalism.

FIUV was enthusiastic about the election of Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger as the Pope in 2005. He took the name of Benedict XVI. He had spoken at a conference, and had praised FIUV's role in supporting the use of the Roman Missal within the guidelines set out by the Vatican. The organization's influence at the highest levels of the Vatican has led to the authorization of the Tridentine Mass without specific permission or indult by local bishops, and the wider implementation of the motu proprio, Summorum Pontificum.

Membership
The International Federation represents 42 member associations in Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Colombia, Croatia, Cuba, Czech Republic, England and Wales, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Malta, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Norway, Peru, the Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Russia, Scotland, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Ukraine and the USA.

 * President: Dr. Joseph Shaw (Latin Mass Society of England and Wales)
 * President d’Honneur: Jacques Dhaussy (Una Voce France)

Colorado Springs Blizzard

Colorado Springs Blizzard were an American soccer team, founded in 2004. The team was a member of the United Soccer Leagues Premier Development League (PDL), the fourth tier of the American Soccer Pyramid, until 2006, when the team left the league and the franchise was terminated.

The Blizzard played their home games at Sand Creek Stadium in the city of Colorado Springs, Colorado and also in the stadium at Harrison High School, also in Colorado Springs. The team's colors were red and white.

Final Squad
vs Kansas City Brass, 23 July 2006

Competition History
Blizzard entered the PDL as an expansion franchise in 2004 as the third team from the Pikes Peak area to play in the league, following the runs of the Colorado Springs Stampede (1995–2000) and Colorado Springs Ascent (2001). Under owner/head coach Bill Arbogast Blizzard's first season in competition began strongly with back-to-back wins in their first two games, 4–0 over Kansas City Brass and 4–3 over state rivals Boulder Rapids Reserve, with Sean McGinnis and Daniel Wasson finding the net. This was as good as the season got, as they struggled to find consistency thereafter. They remained potent in front of goal throughout the year – they beat St. Louis Strikers 5–3 (with McGinnis scoring a hat trick), overpowered Sioux Falls Spitfire 4–1 in mid-June, and enjoyed an excellent 5–0 win on the road in St. Louis in July. This was counteracted by several heavy defeats, including a 6–2 hammering by BYU Cougars, a 4–1 defeat to Boulder Rapids Reserve, a 4–0 thrashing on the road at the El Paso Patriots, and two 3–0 losses on the end of season run in. Blizzard finished their first campaign 7th in the Heartland Division, 35 points adrift of divisional champions Chicago Fire Premier.

The 2005 season was a struggle for Blizzard; they dropped their opening three games of the season by significant margins, and left it late to pick up their first win 3–1 at home to Sioux Falls Spitfire at the end of May. However, this victory did not signal a turnaround in fortunes: they lost five of their next six games, beating expansion side Springfield Storm 3–1, but suffering heavy defeats to El Paso Patriots (3–0), Boulder Rapids Reserve (5–1) and BYU Cougars (6–2). Blizzard's fourth and final win of the season came at home in mid-July with a 3–1 victory over Kansas City Brass, but slumped to four consecutive losses in their final four games, including a 6–1 demolition by Boulder Rapids Reserve, and a humiliating 5–0 defeat by Des Moines Menace on the last day of the season. They finished the year 6th in the Heartland Division, 26 points off the leaders and just three points off the basement. Top scorer Ryan Regrutto did manage to hit 5 goals, while Craig Miller contributed 3 assists.

John Wells was brought in as head coach for the 2006 season. The team won just three games all season—3–0 over Sioux Falls Spitfire in mid-June, 4–3 over expansion franchise Ogden Outlaws in early July, and 2–0 over fellow Utah team BYU Cougars. This was as good as it got for Blizzard: most of the rest of the season was spent enduring a series of heavy defeats, including a 4–1 thrashing at home by Des Moines Menace, a 6–1 demolition at the hands of Colorado Rapids U23's, a 3–1 loss on the road in Sioux Falls, and a 1–0 loss to Kansas City Brass on the final day of the season in what turned out to be the franchise's last ever game. Blizzard finished 2006 6th in the Heartland Division for the second consecutive year, three points ahead of Thunder Bay Chill, but 30 behind divisional champions Colorado. Joel Trainer was Blizzard's top scorer, with 7 goals, while Ryan Regrutto and Craig Miller both contributed 3 assists. Following the conclusion of the 2006 season the club folded, and left the PDL. The Blizzards season was capped off by a 2 win road trip in Utah which is a tuff Road Trip and getting 2 wins on the Road the same weekend in the PDL is rare. The Road trip was on the heels of a Wednesday night match with the Colorado Rapids at Sand Creek Stadium. Coach Fernando Clavijo and John Murphy arrived with the Rapids to play in front of a crowd of about 2,000 to watch the Blizzard come away with a 3–2 win which would prove to be the highlight of the Blizzards 2006 season.

Committee of 100 (United States)

The Committee of 100 is a 501(c)(3) organization of Chinese Americans in business, government, academia and the arts whose stated aim is "to encourage constructive relations between the peoples of the United States and Greater China." It was founded in 1990 by I. M. Pei. Its current chair is Gary Locke, former U.S. Ambassador to China.

Background
The organization focuses on issues of importance to the Chinese American community and China-United States relations. The committee was started with the encouragement of Henry Kissinger. The committee aims to serve as cultural ambassadors and to foster the exchange of ideas and various perspectives among its membership with those in the community and government. Committee delegations have been invited to give briefings to top officials at the White House and Zhongnanhai.

The committee has been noted to avoid criticism of the Chinese Communist Party and its policies. A 2018 report by the Hoover Institution and a 2020 Newsweek report noted that committee members have been targets of United Front Work Department pressure and influence operations.

Talk:Matilda of Tuscany

Untitled
"Everywhere else§ I find her year of death to be 1115 - I've changed it. -- Robodoc.at 13:45, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Merovingian ancestry
Out of curiosity, can we have a source/reference for the claim that she was a descendent of a Merovingian king? Djnjwd 18:19, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Not provable, so removed. Srnec 05:41, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

I seem to know she was of Longobard stock, though I can't quote a source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.33.159.42 (talk) 10:58, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

Mathilde of Canossa
Please note and check her name was Mathilde not matilda or matilde as everybody can see even on the inscriptions and pictures on this same page. Name was Latin not english or Italian as in 1100 a.D. ther was no italian at all.

She was from Canossa. Canossa is in Emilia-Romagna not in Tuscany. Please check, Canossa is in Reggio Emilia province. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Firedrill (talk • contribs) 23:56, 4 April 2007 (UTC).

 * She is called Matilda. The original Latin is irrelevant. The article never says Canossa is in Tuscany and Matilda was not born there. Her birthplace is unknown and may have even been Lorraine. Srnec 20:13, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

She may or not be born in Canossa (probably in Mantova), but her Longobard family name is Canossa, from the village of Canossa, her father was Bonifacio from Canossa, her grandfather and so on (since VIII century) were from Canossa, her castle is in Canossa, she was raised and grew up in Canossa, the battle against the emperor henry (she won) was in Canossa, the castle where came the pope and the emperor was Canossa, nowadays in italy her name is Matilde from Canossa, the lands near Canossa nowadays are known by italian decree as Terre Matildiche,  her power come from the vassals and rooks on the Appennino Emiliano (not tuscany), her name was Mathilde on all the inscriptions, sculptures, annals biographies and no other name was ever used, She was Longobard mother tongue so was never known as english Matilda or italian Matilde but only as Mathilde her true name given by Lotaringian mother (also in Lotaringian language her name is only possible as Mathilde).

Known Sources are hundreds of books, most relevant is VITA MATHILDIS ( written in 1115 a.D. ) her official biography by DONIZONE PRESBYTERO where she is named Mathilde and she is from Canossa, these are facts with sources. Other notable source is the book by expert Paolo Golinelli (researcher of Medioeval History, university of Verona, prize Accademia dei Lincei, Dipartimento di Discipline Storiche, Artistiche e Geografiche dell’Università degli Studi di Verona),italian title matilde e i canossa nel cuore del medioevo ISBN 887767104-1.

Themore, her family used as core castle and capital city Canossa (near Reggio Emilia, region of Emilia-Romagna) and sometimes Marengo (near Mantova, in Lombardy), they have never been in tuscany (which city on your unsupported ipothesis would be the core castle and capital town of the Canossa family in tuscany?) Mathilde never lived in Tuscany, her father acquired nobility in Tuscany by politic matters but Mathilde lost the titles in tuscany at a certain point of her life.

Please roll back as soon as possible to Mathilde from Canossa. Firedrill (talk • contribs)

 * It doesn't matter what she was called. She is called Matilda. End of story. Secondary sources are more important for an encyclopaedia than primary. She ruled Tuscany. "Tuscany" should not be limited to the modern-day province in historical contexts. If you have valuable sourced information to add, you should add it without forcing it to be reverted because you did not cite sources and because you don't follow Wikipedia guidelines. Historical figures are referred to by their modern names in most contexts. Srnec 18:52, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes it's Ok- keep it matilda and keep tuscany; you have the truth and sources (I have cited ) are wrong.

You are right, these sources worth nothing: VITA MATHILDIS ( written in 1115 a.D. ) official biography by DONIZONE PRESBYTERO  ,

Paolo Golinelli (researcher of Medioeval History, university of Verona, prize Accademia dei Lincei, Dipartimento di Discipline Storiche, Artistiche e Geografiche dell’Università degli Studi di Verona),italian title matilde e i canossa nel cuore del medioevo ISBN 887767104-1, both are wrong. End of Story. If you want to learn something, read http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matilde_di_Canossa Firedrill (talk • contribs)

 * What about the sources I have that call her Matilda of Tuscany? The facts are: her name in modern English is Matilda and we use modern English for medieval persons (see all her contemporaries: Emperor Henry III, Pope Gregory VII, etc.) and she was the marchioness of Tuscany (that's why she's called "of Tuscany", it has nothing to do with her birthplace). Secondary sources are more important because primary sources require interpretation, which is original research. I would love to add more info from Domnizo in the future and I probably will. Srnec 01:12, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

I live in italy in Mathildic lands, (Terre Mathildiche by italian decree) we live mathildic legend and histories, yours are simply wrong phrases wrong concepts, wrong geography, wrong knowledge, and nothing more, you do not know what you ar talking of, but if you are so powerful, keep tuscany and everything you want with my compliments. If you ever want to learn something from qualified personnel, high university related and high research related people, read from the high quality qualified italian article of Mathilde di Canossa and shy.

 * Your bad English does not help your case. But I went to this site and it showed what appeared to be an authentic contemporary signum bearing the name "Matilda" (in the lower left corner). Can you explain this? Also, a Google search for "Terre Mathildiche" turns up nothing, while a search for "Terre Matildiche" gives many hits. Who has the right spelling? You do not seem to comprehend my arguments, much less answer them. She ruled Tuscany and Emilia, so there is no problem. As you said, you live legends: I read histories. Srnec 23:47, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Her name is Mathilde, and she is from Canossa, end.
 * you can do read by yourself with your eyes in Vatican city on her true and only monumental sepulture. The picture (I made) in the article show this fact.
 * Or you can read her original authentic contemporary biography Vita Mathildis (made by Donizone in 1100's). She appears only as Mathilde of Canossa. No questions on this.

 * she had titles in all northern Italy (and in Lorraine);
 * she was Countess of: Canossa, Reggio, Modena, Mantova, Brescia e Ferrara (no one in Tuscany);
 * she was also Duchess of Spoleto (not Tuscany)
 * she also surely acquired Marquisee of Tuscany by political matters, but had lost this title at a certain point of her life. This is a fact.

 * She never lived in Tuscany. This is a fact.
 * She lived and was born in Canossa. No questions, this is a fact.
 * Her castle was in Canossa
 * Her power was from Canossa army
 * Her court was at Canossa

She ruled Tuscany for a short period, also she ruled all life Canossa, Emilia, Romagna, Lombardia and all Italia at a certain point. Her father, and all before him, were ruling Canossa (not Tuscany), all the family is named: Canossiani (not Tuscanian); the lineage is : Canossa Counts

This is history and facts and references and evidences. You can close your eyes and do what you want, look at website and ignore books, experts, researchers, museums, with my compliments...--- F I R E D R I L L - 22:14, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

 * This is an English-language wiki. She's called Matilda in English. There are hundreds if not thousands of other examples in this wiki where historical names have been Anglicized. For one example, in the article itself, it's Henry IV, not Heinrich IV or Enrico IV.

 * And everything else aside, please don't change her name in the titles to references, e.g., the book by Spike and the paper by Eads. Loren Rosen 02:30, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Matilda actually signed her own documents 'Matilda Dei gratia si quid est' (as one can see by reading her own documents, in Latin, in the edition of her charters by Werner and Elke Goez for the Monumenta Germaniae Historica series). The Latin and English forms of her name are thus the same (in the nominative case, at least). So it is perfectly acceptable to call her 'Matilda'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.65.196.54 (talk) 22:26, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Just to explain my recent editing of Matilda's name: in Latin, her name is spelled either 'Matilda' or 'Mathilda' (this is the nominative case). The genitive forms would be Matildis or Mathildis. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.65.133.246 (talk) 03:57, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Blatant Self-Promotion?
I noticed that a reference was made to a fictional book about Matilde of Tuscany simply because she was the main character in a story. Isn't that against Wiki policy,especially on articles that are expected to be historical truths?TRex10

Medieval gossip
I wonder how old must gossip be, to be acceptable in a Wikipedia article. Cosmas' story is highly entertaining, but also a little crazy. In the Middle Ages people were perhaps used to rickety furniture, but even then I doubt a comparatively old woman would have chosen a table on sawhorses as her conjugal bed: supposing her seduction had worked, just imagine making love on it. Besides, was Matilda feasting her wedding alone for 117 days, after her seduction did not work? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.33.159.42 (talk) 15:10, 6 May 2015 (UTC) Heartfelt thanks to Bisclavret34 for his or her amendments to my amendments in the Cosmas's Gossip Column Section! I'll remember that the pp of to seek is sought. Again thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.11.67.241 (talk) 22:36, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

Or Matilda of Canossa?
Shouldn't the entry be corrected? Look at the quoted http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/369347/Matilda-of-Canossa

The great mix (the great-granfather) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adalbert_Atto_of_Canossa, (the father) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boniface_III,_Margrave_of_Tuscany referred to as "of Canossa" does not allow a correct study of the history of the House of Canossa.

Could the editors please correct the title of the entry?

Marialuisa M — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marialuisa M (talk • contribs) 13:51, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Marialuisa, to rename an article, wikipedia has a process, Requested moves. The easiest way to convince other editors to support the move is to show that most sources refer to the subject by the name you are requesting the move to.  Try doing some searches on books.google.com, and see how many hits each variation gives you.  You might also ask if someone can show that more people search wikipedia for Matilda of Canossa (which currently redirects the user to this page).  1bandsaw (talk) 20:05, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

Pouring oil from towers
The contributor who remarks that olive oil was hard to come by, and presumably precious, especially in the area of Canossa Castle, is quite right. The olive tree does not grow in the Po Valley, much less in the Appennine. It is however a fact that oil is reported to have been largely used for lightning purposes,as being less expensive than candles; and another, that several common family names of the area contain the word "oil". I suggest it was probably not olive oil, but walnut oil. The walnut tree does prosper both in the Po Valley and in the Appennine mountains, up to about 800 mt/a/s. it could also have been hemp oil. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.33.155.99 (talk) 16:47, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks to Aldebaran69 for the immense expansion of this article. I started working on it in 2015 but effectively abandoned it, and I am thrilled to see it in its current state. I am a bit concerned that the article might now be too big, i.e. sprawling, and would suggest moving most of Matilda_of_Tuscany to House of Canossa as well as shortening many of the other sections to focus more on Matilda (e.g. the large first paragraph of Matilda_of_Tuscany does not seem to be about Matilda at all).

Patty Jenkins

Patricia Lea Jenkins (born July 24, 1971 ) is an American film director, screenwriter, and producer. She has directed the feature films Monster (2003), Wonder Woman (2017), and Wonder Woman 1984 (2020). For the film Monster, she won the Independent Spirit Award for Best First Feature and the Franklin J. Schaffner Award of the American Film Institute (AFI). For the pilot episode of the series The Killing (2011), she received a Primetime Emmy Award nomination and the Directors Guild of America award for Best Directing in a Drama Series. In 2017, she occupied the seventh place for Time's Person of the Year.

Early life
Jenkins was born in Victorville, California, to William T. Jenkins, a U.S. Air Force officer and fighter pilot who earned a Silver Star in the Vietnam War, and Emily Roth, who later worked in San Francisco as an environmental scientist. Her older sister is Elaine Roth, her younger sister is Jessica Jenkins Murphy.

She spent her early childhood moving frequently due to her father's military service. Having lived briefly in Thailand and Germany, the family eventually settled in Lawrence, Kansas. When she was seven years old, her father died during a NATO mock dogfight at the age of 31. During a road trip from Kansas to San Francisco, her mother dropped Jenkins and her sister off at a movie theater, where they watched the original Superman starring Christopher Reeve. Jenkins found the film inspiring, and the experience sparked an interest in pursuing filmmaking as a career.

She completed kindergarten through her junior year of high school while living in Lawrence. Her mother then moved the family to Washington, D.C., where Patty completed her senior year of high school. She received her undergraduate degree in Painting from The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in 1993, and a master's degree in directing from the American Film Institute's AFI Conservatory in 2000. While a student at AFI, Jenkins, an avid fan of the films of Pedro Almodóvar, made the 2001 short film Velocity Rules, that she describes as a cross between a superhero film and Almodóvar's tone about an accident-prone housewife.

Beginning in junior high school, Jenkins took interest in photography, painting and screen-printing. At age 20, while interning at a commercial production company, she heeded a suggestion that she could receive film training if she worked on set for free. After doing so for some months, Jenkins advanced to second assistant camera and focus puller, then spent eight years as a cameraperson. While shooting a Michael Jackson music video, her director of photography recommended that she attend the American Film Institute to learn directing. She later made a superhero short film that played at AFI Fest. There she met Brad Wyman, who later introduced her to producer Donald Kushner, leading to her directing her first feature film, Monster (2003).

2001–2014: Monster success and TV projects
Patty Jenkins started her career with Just Drives (2001) as her first film as director, she would later follow it up with Velocity Rules (2001). This film follows a housewife who finds out she is a superhero and then has to choose between a life of excitement and glamour or her husband. The film ended up being a Recipient of the Warner Brothers Production Grant.

This ended up moving her towards the film Monster (2003); at first she tried to get producer Brad Wyman to direct, but under his advice she ended up writing the script herself. Jenkins ended up writing to the film's subject, serial killer Aileen Wuornos, who was a street prostitute who went on a 1989–1990 murder spree of seven of her male clients, and was at the time on death row. Wuornos was initially distrustful of Jenkins but on the night before her execution, left Jenkins all of her personal letters which convinced Jenkins that she was the only one who could direct the film.

With a budget of $1.5 million and Charlize Theron attached to the film, Monster ended up being a commercial and critical success, grossing $64.2 million and earning Theron her first and only Oscar to date for Best Actress in a Leading Role. Noted film critic Roger Ebert ranked Monster 1st on his list of the best films of 2003 and later in 2009, ranked it 3rd on the list of the best films of the decade. For this film, Jenkins won the Independent Spirit Award for Best First Feature and the Franklin J. Schaffner Award of the American Film Institute (an award for outstanding graduates of the AFI Conservatory), and also was nominated for the Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Screenplay.

After the success of Monster, Jenkins was approached by former United States Air Force test pilot Chuck Yeager to develop a film about his life. When that project did not reach fruition, she attempted to make a Ryan Gosling movie titled I Am Superman, a film with no relation to the DC Comics character, but development ended when she became pregnant. Jenkins spent the next decade working in television.

In 2011, she directed one segment in the made-for-television anthology film Five. Jenkins received an Emmy nomination because of her work on the film. Jenkins directed many commercials and TV shows, like episodes of Arrested Development and Entourage. She received an Emmy nomination again, for directing AMC's The Killing pilot. In October 2011, she was hired to direct Thor: The Dark World, the first sequel to 2011 superhero film Thor, but left the project after less than two months, due to creative differences. In 2014, she was attached to Sweetheart, a film about a female assassin, but that film was never made.

2015–present: Breakthrough and worldwide fame
In 2015, Jenkins signed on as director for the DC Extended Universe film Wonder Woman, with a screenplay by Allan Heinberg and a story co-written by Heinberg, Zack Snyder and Jason Fuchs, and starring Gal Gadot. The film was released in June 2017, and gave Jenkins the biggest domestic opening for a female director, surpassing previous record holder Fifty Shades of Grey by Sam Taylor-Johnson. With this film, Jenkins also became the first female director of an American studio superhero film, and the third female director to direct a film with a budget over $100 million. The film was acclaimed by both critics and audiences and grossed over $800 million worldwide, exceeding box office original predictions. Wonder Woman eventually became the highest-grossing film directed by a woman, surpassing previous record holder Mamma Mia! by Phyllida Lloyd. However, in 2019, Frozen II directed by Jennifer Lee (with Chris Buck) and Captain Marvel, directed by Anna Boden (with Ryan Fleck) became number one and two respectively, dropping Wonder Woman and Jenkins to number three.

While promoting Wonder Woman, Jenkins mentioned that her next project would likely be a limited television series developed with her husband. This project was later revealed as a horror series titled Riprore, to premiere on the video-on-demand service Shudder. In July 2017, the cable network TNT announced Jenkins would direct the premiere of a six-episode television drama, I Am the Night, written by her husband Sam Sheridan, and featuring her Wonder Woman star Chris Pine. She additionally served as executive producer.

In September 2017, Variety reported Jenkins would return to direct Wonder Woman 2. However, on MTV's "Happy, Sad, Confused" podcast, Jenkins revealed that she considered walking away from the sequel due to salary dispute between her and Warner Bros. On December 6, 2017, Jenkins was named by Time as the seventh runner-up for Time Person of the Year.

Wonder Woman 1984 was scheduled to be released by Warner Bros. Pictures in the United States on June 5, 2020, but, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the release was delayed until December 25, 2020. It had originally been scheduled for November 1, 2019; unlike the first film, the sequel received a mixed critical reception and was a box office failure. She has been negotiating the terms of her contract with Warner Brothers for an estimated seven to nine million dollars, which would be a record breaking salary for a female filmmaker. She signed on to the first film with no guarantee of directing a second film, but envisioned the second one during the making of Wonder Woman, which turned out to benefit her greatly. When she had signed on to do the second film, she had the ability to get a much higher salary than she would have if she had been signed on to do both films from the beginning. Her goal with her negotiations were to make sure she would get the same salary that her male counterparts would be getting for doing this movie and she seems to have succeeded.

In October 2020, it was revealed that Gal Gadot and Jenkins will be teaming up again for the film Cleopatra. The film will star Gadot as the titular Cleopatra, the historical pharaoh of ancient Egypt, with Jenkins as the director. In December 2021, Jenkins dropped out of the film, but remained as a producer, to instead focus on a third Wonder Woman film and the Star Wars spin-off film Rogue Squadron.

In November 2020, a spin off film set in the Wonder Woman universe focusing on the Amazons of Themyscira was confirmed to be in early development. Jenkins will not return to direct the film, but cowrote the script with Geoff Johns. In 2021, Warner Bros. announced a third installment of the Wonder Woman franchise with Jenkins attached to write and direct. However, in December 2022, it was reported by The Hollywood Reporter that Jenkins' third film would not be moving forward after all and was considered to be "dead in its current incarnation", as the film did not fit with the newly appointed DC Studios heads' plans for the DC Extended Universe or its upcoming successor, the DC Universe.

In December 2020, Disney announced that Jenkins was hired to direct Rogue Squadron, a Star Wars spin-off film inspired by the group of starfighter pilots of the same name. The film was scheduled to be released on December 22, 2023. Jenkins would be the first female director to helm a Star Wars film, but not the first female director within the overall franchise. In June 2021, The Hollywood Reporter reported that Matthew Robinson had been hired by Lucasfilm to write the script. In November 2021, it was reported that the film's production had been delayed due to scheduling conflicts with other projects Jenkins was developing. In September 2022, Disney removed Rogue Squadron from their release schedule. The film was then shelved in March 2023. In March 2024, Jenkins revealed that following the cancellation of the third Wonder Woman film, she had returned to Rogue Squadron, finalizing a deal with Lucasfilm prior to the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike, and that she now "owes" a new draft of the script.

Other work
Jenkins, Wonder Woman actresses Gal Gadot and Lynda Carter, DC Entertainment President Diane Nelson and U.N. Under-Secretary General Cristina Gallach appeared at the United Nations on October 21, 2016, the 75th anniversary of the first appearance of Wonder Woman, to mark the character's designation by the United Nations as its "Honorary Ambassador for the Empowerment of Women and Girls". The gesture was intended to raise awareness of UN Sustainable Development Goal No. 5, which seeks to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls by 2030. The decision was met with protests from UN staff members who stated in their petition to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon that the character is "not culturally encompassing or sensitive", and served to objectify women. As a result, the character was stripped of the designation, and the project ended December 16.

Style and themes
In the film Monster, Jenkins explored the issues of morality and femininity. In Wonder Woman, Jenkins suggests that the audience experiences the journey of the lead character Diana Prince through Diana's eyes. Diana is portrayed as the universal human character that the audience never experiences from the outside. Jenkins suggests that the major theme of the film is the idea that there are no other villains than humans themselves. She mentions how she was influenced by Superman and how that is incorporated in her own superhero film.

Connie Nielsen (who plays Hippolyta in the Wonder Woman franchise) said that Jenkins fought for feminist themes to be included in Wonder Woman, and rejected the idea of including a controversial origin story for the Amazons, which portrayed them as victims rather than warriors.

Some of Jenkins' mentors and influencers include Gary Ross, Kathryn Bigelow and Steve Perry. She mentions that she often likes to discuss the process of making soundtracks with musicians like Perry, who was a musical consultant on her film Monster. The organization and structure of music, according to Jenkins, has a lot of parallels to theatre and drama. As a director, she uses this rhythm to direct the delivery of dialogues.

Personal life
In 2007, Jenkins married Sam Sheridan, a former firefighter and the author of the book A Fighter's Heart. They have a son and reside in Santa Monica, California.

Accolades
In 2004, for her work on Monster, she won the Independent Spirit Award for Best First Feature and the Franklin J. Schaffner Award of the American Film Institute (an award for outstanding graduates of the AFI Conservatory). In 2011, Jenkins received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series for the pilot of The Killing. She received two nominations at the 2012 Directors Guild of America Awards for Outstanding Directorial Achievement, one for Dramatic Series for The Killing and the other for Movies for Television/Mini-Series for Five; she won the former.

Netzach

Netzach (נצח) is the seventh of the ten sefirot in the Jewish mystical system of Kabbalah. It is located beneath Chesed ('loving-kindness'), at the base of the "Pillar of Mercy" which also consists of Chokmah ('wisdom'). Netzach generally translates to 'eternity', and in the context of Kabbalah refers to 'perpetuity', 'victory', or 'endurance'.

Within the Sefiroth, Netzach sits geometrically across from Hod. This pairing makes up the third such group, the "tactical" sefirot, meaning that their purpose is not inherent in themselves, but rather as a means for something else.

These sefirot mark a turning point. Whereas the first two groups of sefirot deal with God's intrinsic will, and what it is that He desires to bestow upon man, these sefirot are focused on man: What is the most appropriate way for man to receive God's message? How can God's will be implemented most effectively?

Netzach refers to actions of God that are Chesed in essence, but are presented through a prelude of harshness. Hod refers specifically to those events where the "wicked prosper." It is retribution —Gevurah, "strength/restraint," in essence, but presented by a prelude of pleasantness.

Netzach is "endurance," the fortitude, and patience to follow through on your passions. It is paired with Hod as the righteous attributes related to group interactivity, with Netzach being leadership, the ability to rally others to a cause and motivate them to act; while Hod is community, the ability to do the footwork needed to follow through on ideas and make them happen. Netzach is identified with our right (left leg or foot) when the tree of life is portrayed on the human form, while Hod is on our left (right leg or foot).

The angelic order of Netzach is the Elohim, the ruling Archangel of which is Haniel. Its qlippothic counterpart is A'arab Zaraq.

I can translate, but i will need help to write it in perfect english.

 * Hello, I think One of the best directors of Spain could have a better article too. If I have time I will try to edit a little more, but my english is not "very good looking" :-P thanks.--Pantuflo (talk) 08:00, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Matt Smith (comics editor)

Matt Smith (born 31 October 1972) is a British editor and author. He is the current and longest-serving editor of the long-running British science fiction weekly comics anthology magazine 2000 AD and its sister title the Judge Dredd Megazine

Career
Smith joined 2000 AD in 2000, after three years working as a desk editor for MacMillan, at the time the comic was changing ownership – from Egmont to Rebellion Developments. Starting out as the assistant to the new editor Andy Diggle, Smith was appointed as the ninth incarnation of Tharg the Mighty (a humorous character representing the 2000 AD editor) in January 2002.

After Alan Barnes resigned from the Judge Dredd Megazine, Smith also took over the editorship thereof in 2006.

Since 2005 Smith has also branched out into writing: his credits so far include a Judge Dredd novel and three novellas, along with three more novellas for one of that series' many spinoffs, and regular stints on the syndicated Judge Dredd newspaper strips.

Talk:Junior (footballer)

This article needs help.

 * Who is the player? Could we have a full name?
 * What type of football? I presume association football.
 * What are the details of his career?
 * Get the basic facts right: Beach soccer is recognised by FIFA.
 * It needs to be written in encyclopaedic style.
