Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia

Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia (දෙහිවල-ගල්කිස්ස; தெஹிவளை-கல்கிசை), population 245,974 (2012), is a large municipality in Sri Lanka, covering 2109 ha. It lies south of the Colombo Municipal Council area and is separated from it by the Dehiwala canal which forms the northern boundary of DMMC. Its southern limits lie in Borupana Road and the eastern boundary is Weras Ganga with its canal system and it includes some areas to its east (Pepiliyana, Gangodawila and Kohuwala). This town has experienced extensive population growth and rapid industrialisation and urbanisation in recent years. It is home to Sri Lanka's National Zoological Gardens, which remains one of Asia's largest. Colombo South Teaching Hospital, Kalubowila and Colombo Airport, Ratmalana are some important landmarks in this area. Dehiwela-Mount Lavinia and Sri Jayawardenapura Kotte being two large suburban centres of the city of Colombo function together as one large urban agglomeration in the Region (Western Province). The overspill from the City in residential and commercial uses of land has rapidly urbanised these suburban centres. Dehiwela-Mount Lavinia and Sri Jayawardenpaura along with Colombo Municipal Council form the most urbanised part of the core area of the Colombo Metropolitan Region. Dehiwala and Mount Lavinia lie along the Galle Road artery, which runs along the coast to the south of the country.

Etymology
There are many stories about the history of this area. One of those is Diya Wala which means a dip or hole filled with water. In the past this area was full of ponds and lakes; thus it became known as Diyawala (an area filled with water) and later on it became Dehiwala. Another story in regard to this name is that this area has many lime trees or a forest of lime trees and people called it Dehiwala. It is said that the king of Kotte filled all his lime requirements from this area.

History
Before colonisation of the maritime region by the Portuguese, the area covered by the present DMMC was part of the Kingdom of Kotte. It comprised a number of villages such as Pepiliyana Nedimala, Attidiya and Kalubowila, while Ratmalana and areas south of Dehiwala were together one large expanse of marshland, and scarcely populated.

Portuguese era
During the Portuguese occupation, the Kingdom of Kotte was ruled by king Don Juan Dharmapala, and it encompassed the above-mentioned villages. Early records also indicate that in the year 1510 AD the village of “Galkissa” is mentioned and named after the rocky mound (Lihiniyagala) protruding into the Bay. Fascinating tales are woven round this rock and the village “Galkissa”. The Dutch invaders called the mound “the pregnant wench”.

Dutch era
With the arrival of the Dutch in the early seventeenth century, a more organised administrative structure was in place, whereby a broad-based taxation and legal system evolved.

British era
However, it was only during British occupation (19th Century) that a Provincial administrative (Kachcheri) system and a form of Local Government developed. When the second Governor of Ceylon, Sir Thomas Maitland, acquired land at "Galkissa" (Mount Lavinia), he decided in 1806 to construct a personal residence there. Maitland fell in love with Lovina Aponsuwa, a local mestiço dancer, and continued a romantic affair with her until he was recalled to England in 1811. The Governor's mansion, which he named "Mount Lavinia House" is now the Mount Lavinia Hotel and the village that surrounded the building has subsequently developed into a bustling area, taking its name from the Governor's mistress, Lovina. Later, the area assumed the name of Mount Lavinia alluding to the factual story of a romance between the then British Governor Thomas Maitland (1805–1812) and a dancing girl called Lovina of the area.

After Independence
Dehiwela, Mount Lavinia attained Municipal status in December 1959. Dehiwela Mount Lavinia as a Local body of 6 wards extending over a land extent of only 16.3 km2 (1,630 ha). Due to rapid urban growth and for administrative reasons this area was extended and divided into 19 wards in 1959 and given Municipal status. Later in 1967 the municipality was increased to an area of approximately 2,109 ha was apportioned into 29 wards, as it exists today.

Geography
As the Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia area lies on the coastal plain the land is mostly flat and undulating towards the inland areas. A significant feature is the large extent of wetlands around the Weras Ganga (river) and Bolgoda Lake, the two major water bodies. The Bellanwila and Attidiya marshes are noteworthy for their biodiversity and as such are considered as an ecological protected zone. Lying in the wet zone, the Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia area receives an average annual rainfall between 2000-3000 mm mainly during the southwest monsoon and the intermonsoon periods. The mean average day temperature is around 28 C and the average maximum between 30.5 and 31 °C. The minimum night temperature varies from 26 °C to 27 °C.

Rail
There are three railway stations in Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia: Dehiwala (12.0 kms from Colombo-Fort), Mount Lavinia (14.2 kms) and Ratmalana (16.0 kms).

Treaty of Polyanovka

The Treaty of Polyanovka (Polanów, also known as the Peace of Polyanovka / Polanów) was a peace treaty signed on 14 June 1634 between the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Tsardom of Russia in the village of Semlevo located near the Polyanovka river between Vyazma and Dorogobuzh.

The accord was signed in the aftermath of the Smolensk War. The negotiations began on 30 April after the failure of the Polish-Lithuanian siege of Belaya. Overall, the agreement confirmed the pre-war status quo, with Russia paying a large war indemnity (20,000 rubles in gold) for Władysław IV agreeing to surrender his claim to the Russian throne and return the royal insignia to Russia. Władysław, despite holding an upper hand, was trying to bring Russia into an anti-Sweden alliance; hence in a gesture of goodwill he agreed to give the Russians the border town of Serpeysk and nearby territories. However, the alliance never came through, as the Polish-Lithuanian Sejm, unwilling to fight Sweden after the Treaty of Sztumska Wieś, subsequently objected, and Russians saw no benefit in such an alliance. The sides also reached an agreement on prisoner exchange and a trade treaty.

The treaty ended the almost unbroken series of wars between the Commonwealth and its neighbours that had been waged since the beginning of the 17th century.

Louis Garneau

Louis Garneau (born August 9, 1958, in Sainte-Foy, Quebec, Canada) is a retired competitive cyclist, artist, and businessman of French-Canadian descent.

In 1978, Garneau was the Canadian champion in individual pursuit cycling. In 1983, he founded Louis Garneau Sports, which sells cycling clothing and accessories.

Early years
Garneau was born in Sainte-Foy, Quebec on August 9, 1958, the son of Paul Garneau and Jeannine Lehoux. He obtained his bachelor's degree in visual arts from Laval University and won an excellence scholarship there in 1983.

From 1970 to 1983, Garneau was an international cyclist and won the title of Canadian champion in individual pursuit in 1978. He was selected to participate in the 1980 Moscow Olympics, but could not participate due to the boycott of these games by Canada. After taking part in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, he retired from competition.

Business career
In 1983, Garneau began making clothing for cyclists in his father's garage, supported in this project by his wife, Monique Arsenault. The company became Louis Garneau Clothing. In 1984, the company moved to larger premises (140 square meters or 1,500 square feet), then was forced to expand again in 1985, to premises of 464 square meters (5,000 square feet).

In 1988, when the company reached 118 employees, it moved to a building of 2972 square meters (32,000 square feet) in St-Augustin-de-Desmaures. The building was enlarged in 1993 and 1999, with the creation of a distribution center.

Louis Garneau decided to launch an assault on the American market in 1989, with the opening of the Louis Garneau USA plant in Newport, Vermont, in 1989. This new division initially employed 12 people. The area of the American building will be doubled in 1999.

The Newport, Vermont building no longer sufficient for the company's needs, a major investment will materialize on August 15, 2014, with the inauguration of a new state-of-the-art building in Derby, Vermont, which includes a distribution center for the American market.

In 2015, the Louis Garneau Sports Inc. employs around 450 people and exports to more than 50 countries. Louis Garneau Sports, which celebrated its 30th anniversary of founding in 2013, holds numerous patents, mainly with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) and the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), in order to protect its many innovations.

Since 2018, the Garneau Group includes the Canadian trilogy of three brands: Garneau, Sugoi and Sombrio. Their products, intended for cyclists, triathletes, as well as several disciplines of winter sports such as snowshoeing, are sold in more than 40 countries, starting with Canada and the United States.

In March 2020, the company filed for creditor protection, but announced its intention to take the company public in 2023 thanks to e-bike market.

Cycling team
Louis Garneau operated a cycling development team for several years, in order to help young talented cyclists reach their full potential and allow them to pass into the ranks of professional cyclists. Some big name Quebec cyclists who went through this development team are: David Veilleux (first Quebec cyclist to participate in the Tour de France within the professional continental team Europcar), Antoine Duchesne (who joined Europcar in 2014 and is now part of Groupama FDJ), Hugo Houle (a member of the UCI World Tour AG2R La Mondiale team from 2013 and now with Astana-Premier Tech), as well as Canadian Michael Woods (who will start his 2021 season within the UCI World Tour Israel Start-Up Nation cycling team.)

Through conferences and cycling events, Louis Garneau is socially involved with the organization Les Petits Frères, whose committed to relieving isolation and loneliness among the elderly.

On December 22, 2018, Garneau launched the international "Don't Text and Drive" day, in memory of his cycling friend Jason Lowndes, who died on his bike during a training session in Australia, by a distracted driver, on December 22, 2017.

Talk:Santo Daime

re external links
Lou, and others:  The limitation to the external links is clearly narrowing the field in what I would consider a biased way here, but limitation of ad-hoc external links on this kind of article is or was, I think, a WP policy, and some well meaning editors who don't know much background on subjects may come along and just trim the external links a bit like hedges.

I would propose to insert a paragraph with the external link[s] to the effect of "if you have a serious interest in getting a more balanced view of Santo Daime web sites, do your own search of 'Santo Daime' or 'Santodaime' on the internet.  And don't presume Santodaime web sites are proportionally representative of the Santodaime movement!"

You and I and others would also do well to add in-line citations to specific articles on specific sites that are well enough written. These are less likely to get pruned. See, for instance, my post below 're when if began'. The actual front page of that site (the afamiliajuramidam site that somebody has put back into a refs list that presently stands at TWO) might frighten away some academic researchers, but inside is some useful information. Better to get a search engine to dig it out for you rather than trying to browse the site, I find. Trev M (talk) 21:41, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

founding of santo daime?
This article contradicts itself, saying that Mestre Irineu founded the religion in the 30s (first paragraph) and the 20s (first paragraph under "History"). I haven't yet found a reliable source for its founding, though the Preface to Forest of Visions corroborates the claim that it was started in the 20s.

re founding of Santo Daime
Some retracing of previous searches yields the following. I haven't got time or inclination to edit this into the article page yet. I'll run it past some others when I can, or they can comment further here.

in paragraph near top of her page:

Do que anteriormente se sabe, Maria Marques Vieira nasceu em Belém do Pará, no dia 4 de novembro de 1910* e, ainda muito jovem, transferiu-se com sua família para Rio Branco - Acre, onde no ano de 1931 veio a conhecer o Mestre Raimundo Irineu Serra.

What is known previously, Maria Marques Vieira was born in Belém do Pará, on November 4, 1910, and still very young, moved in with her family to Rio Branco - Acre, where the year of 1931 she came to know Mestre Raimundo Irineu Serra.

He also says in

http://www.afamiliajuramidam.org/mestre_irineu.htm

near bottom of page

A doutrina do Santo Daime é o fruto do seu desenvolvimento material e espiritual, desde o seu encontro com a Ayahuasca, em 1914, nas selvas do Peru, até o dia do seu retorno a sua pátria espiritual, no ano de 1971

The doctrine of Santo Daime is the fruit of his material and spiritual development, since his encounter with ayahuasca in 1914 in the jungles of Peru, until the day of his return to his spiritual homeland, in 1971

So you could say the ayahuasca met Irineu in 1914, and Irineu began holding ceremonies involving known-others in around 1931.

This ties in with other accounts I have heard that I cannot document here so quickly. Luis Mendez has a web site with some first hand historical accounts that you might like to do digging for.

Mestre's Quotation and proselytising
I've put html quotes around a new quotation box that's appeared, hoping it'll be modified, for 2 reasons:

1) It's attributed to Mestre Irineu, and I'm not disputing he said that, but please add a reference to WHERE you saw this quotation given, so someone can find it themself. It's not adequate in an encyclopaedia to say only "I've heard it said". See WP:RS

2) It comes over as proselytising, even though it's given as a quote. You and I may both respect the man very much, but that does not mean his beliefs should be shouted here. So, inside my quotes, I've also taken the bold-face off his words.

Beware of adding material in the jargon of Santo Daime. "Mestre... " can sound proselytising in itself. I have referred to him as Irineu or by his full name in my input.

Finally, beware of assuming too much about Santo Daime. It is a VERY diverse umbrella, the only commonality really, being the drinking of Ayahuasca and the following of Irineu's basic teachings. Beyond that, you have to start referring to which group or church's rituals you are describing, and maybe that needs subcategorising according to church! Trev M (talk) 01:36, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

External links deletion ? no !
There's a banner saying "Please improve this article by removing excessive or inappropriate external links", ok maybe the list is a little too-long (this is my first visit on this article fyi), but when I search for "Game Jam" I need these links a lot ! There's nearly nothing about these events on the internet, only their own official websites contain informations and downloadable content, it's not like I could Google this easily.

If you delete the external links, please create a "Game Jam" wikipedia article with all the links inside, and add a wiki-link to the "Game Jam" article on this one ("Indie Game Jam").

ps : btw, anyone have some news about 2007/2008/2009 Indie Game Jam ?? --90.60.8.138 (talk) 23:47, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Resistance to improvements to this article
Can you give me an explanation for the reversion of these edits? They seem like pretty clear cut changes to me: developers is a more general term than programmers, the grammar and clarification of sentences is straightforward, moving references directly linked to participants as external links or additional reading is preferred wikipedia style, all the added tags are valid. If there is a specific objection, please edit that one area rather than wholescale reversion of valid edits. Kuguar03 (talk) 23:08, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Stop your edit warring. You remove valid and reliable references (and no it is not wikipedia's "prefered style" to put them as external links), add templates against consensus, notability IS established per deletion discussion, etc... If you don't want to have your "improvements" reverted, then make sure they are actually improvements and not pointy nonsense. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 23:21, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

 * What? The AfD is done with, trying to drag that into this discussion is not constructive. I'm not sure what a "templates against consensus" is but the ones I added are all valid AFAIK. If there's an issue than discuss, please. At this point I'm trying very hard to improve this article, so imagine my surprise when I come back to add references it's been reverted to this state. I'm trying to work with other editors here, simply reverting valid changes isn't helpful! It's hard to assume good faith when even the simplest of grammar fixes is being reverted. Kuguar03 (talk) 23:36, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * For example, none of the references show this event continuing past 2005, so why the objection to using the past tense. The sentence "The idea for the event came from Chris Hecker and Sean Barrett, who originally presented Dogma 2001 challenge for the 2001 Game Developers Conference (GDC) strived to create games without replying on technology." Doesn't seem to make any sense to me, if there's something wrong with changing it to "The idea for the event came from Chris Hecker and Sean Barrett, who originally presented Dogma 2001 challenge for the 2001 Game Developers Conference" than address that. The old lead sentence "The Indie Game Jam (IGJ) is an effort to rapidly prototype video game designs and inject new ideas into the game industry" is more of a general statement about game jams than this particular one. How is it "pointy nonsense" to make these fixes? Kuguar03 (talk) 23:50, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Another: why the redlinked technology-driven? Is anyone planning on writing an article with this title? What would be in that article? Did you even look at the changes before reverting? Kuguar03 (talk) 23:53, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Kuguar, I must point out the hypocrisy of condemning Headbomb for reverting your edits while you not only revert back, but ignore WP:BRD. There is no problem that you made these edits in the first place. But the fact that you felt so hard that your version was the correct version that you tried to force it to stay and then condemn reverting wars. All of the references were either for verifying information about the subject in a neutral way - which is protected in WP:V as long as it is not used in a way that would affect the image of the subject - or as a demonstration of notability. The requirement for independent sources is not one that prevents any use of a source that has a connection to the subject in some small way. The Rockstar Wives are connected to the purportedly abused employees of Rockstar San Diego are connected to the above-mentioned company; under your logic, we could not mention their criticisms, no matter where it is reported. Or if Nintendo commented on E3, we could not mention their comments, because they attend it. You are assuming that these editors for reliable sources are acting with an ulterior motive with no reason to believe it. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 23:58, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * And I must reiterate that this is a mature discussion. We will not have any backbiting, snide remarks on other editors (not even looking into your blatantly uncivil personal attacks). - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 23:58, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

Here are the changes it was too late for me to do yesterday:
 * Regarding "programmers" in "12 new games were developed by 14 programmers" -- the two references say "[..] a group 14 designer-programmers did exactly that." and "they invited  a dozen designer-programmer friends[..]"/"14 programmers had one weekend to design [..]" respectively. Changed both to "programmers and designers".
 * Added "During the jam [..]" to the start of the above sentence.
 * Corrected "Hecker" typo
 * Added "Numerous well known indie developers and other game industry figures have participated, including Jonathan Blow, Doug Church, Chaim Gingold, Justin Hall, Chris Hecker, Austin Grossman, Marc LeBlanc, and Randy Smith."
 * Added "The IGJ was considered an inspiration for later game jams including the Nordic Game Jam and the Global Game Jam."
 * Added "Experimental Gameplay Workshop" wikilink.
 * Correct "used Zack Simpson's Shadow Garden technology, which"
 * Corrected all articles and misc about 3rd jam.

I did not contest these changes, I contested the removal of inline citations and several sentences/clauses. — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 09:09, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

"moving references directly linked to participants as external links or additional reading is preferred wikipedia style" Preferred by which policy/guideline? WP:PRIMARY and WP:V -- "Unless restricted by another policy, primary sources that have been reliably published may be used in Wikipedia" and "all quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged be attributed to a reliable, published source in the form of an inline citation". Both policies are followed.

notability was established at AfD, which was closed a bit prematurely though, since Kuguar03 and I commented there and did not get a chance to reply. Third-party sources do exists, the given publishers are independent and reliable. And even if not, there is no policy against including primary sources. And there are no COI contributors. I am unsure if you are directing this at me (since I'm the only major contributor recently besides you), but I have nothing to do with IGJ personally.

WP:REDLINK does not forbid redlinks. "technology-driven" is one of several design drivers, such as "art-driven" or "story-driven" (Game_design lists some) You can remove it though if you think it will never see a redirect to a design article about this.

"[..] strived to create games without replying on technology" was a typo of "relying" and missing ", which" -- this refers to the Dogma challenge and is a distinction that the previous attempt focused on not relying on technology, while IGJ relies on technology heavily. — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 09:30, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

I'd like to mention, that in Germany since 1999 a so called gamejam is held. The Event was on DUSMANIA.

Cabal (set theory)

The Cabal was, or perhaps is, a set of set theorists in Southern California, particularly at UCLA and Caltech, but also at UC Irvine. Organization and procedures range from informal to nonexistent, so it is difficult to say whether it still exists or exactly who has been a member, but it has included such notable figures as Donald A. Martin, Yiannis N. Moschovakis, John R. Steel, and Alexander S. Kechris. Others who have published in the proceedings of the Cabal seminar include Robert M. Solovay, W. Hugh Woodin, Matthew Foreman, and Steve Jackson.

The work of the group is characterized by free use of large cardinal axioms, and research into the descriptive set theoretic behavior of sets of reals if such assumptions hold.

Some of the philosophical views of the Cabal seminar were described in and.

African arowana

The African arowana or Nile arowana (Heterotis niloticus) is a species of bonytongue. Despite being called an "arowana", the African arowana is more closely related to arapaimas, the only other members in the subfamily Arapaiminae, than the South American, Asian, and Australian arowanas in the subfamily Osteoglossinae (Arapaiminae is sometimes considered to be a separate family from Osteoglossidae). Compared to these, the African arowana has a more terminal mouth and is the only one that feeds extensively on plankton.

Description
The African arowana is a long-bodied fish with large scales, long dorsal and anal fins set far back on the body, and a rounded caudal fin. Its height is 3.5 to 5.0 times standard length. It has been reported to reach up to 1 m long and weigh up to 10.2 kg.

This fish is gray, brown, or bronze in color. Coloration is uniform in adults, but juveniles often have dark longitudinal bands.

African arowanas have air-breathing organs on its branchiae, enabling them to survive in oxygen-depleted water. A suprabranchial organ allows it to concentrate small planktonic food particles and also has a sensory function.

Range
This species is widespread throughout Africa, where it is native to all the watersheds in Sahelo-Sudanese region, Senegal, and Gambia, as well as parts of eastern Africa. This range includes the basins of the Corubal, Volta, Ouémé, Niger, Bénoué, and Nile Rivers, as well as those of Lake Chad and Lake Turkana. It has been successfully introduced to Côte d'Ivoire, the Cross River in Nigeria, the Sanaga and Nyong Rivers in Cameroon, and the Ogooué River in Gabon, as well as the lower and middle Congo River basin, including Ubangui and Kasaï Rivers. It has also been introduced in Madagascar. In some cases, introduction is reported to have had a negative impact on the local ecology.

Human use
African arowana is used locally as a food fish and has been collected in the past for the aquarium trade. It is not aggressive like its relatives. It is aquacultured in its native range, being a very successful culture due to its tolerance for crowding and ease of feeding.

Sir Thomas Hope, 1st Baronet

Sir Thomas Hope, 1st Baronet Hope of Craighall (1573–1646) was a Scottish lawyer, and Lord Advocate under Charles I.

Life
He was the son of an eminent Edinburgh merchant, Henry Hope, and his French wife, Jacqueline de Tott, her parents of Swedish origin. His grandfather John Hope was an Edinburgh merchant of French origin.

Admitted as an advocate in 1605, he made his reputation in 1606 defending John Forbes, and five other ministers at Linlithgow who were charged with high treason. In 1608 he was on a team of lawyers, described as "the most learned and best experienced" who defended Margaret Hartsyde, a servant of Anne of Denmark accused of stealing her jewels.

He prepared the deed revoking James VI's grants of church property in 1625. He was appointed Lord Advocate under Charles I in 1626, and held the office until 1641. He was created a Baronet of Nova Scotia on 11 February 1628.

Hope worked for landowners, including Mary, Countess of Home, and Marie Stewart, Countess of Mar. He conducted the case against John Elphinstone, 2nd Lord Balmerino in 1634. As Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 1643, he maintained the king's temporising policy.

In 1645 Hope was appointed one of the Commissioners for managing the Exchequer, but died the next year.

He is buried in Greyfriars Kirkyard in Edinburgh. The grave lies in the north-west section of the original graveyard, against the west wall.

He bought the Fife estate of Craighall early in his career. His Cowgate home, built in 1616, was demolished in 1887 to make way for the Edinburgh Free Library.

Related works
His "Practical Observations Upon divers titles of the Law of Scotland", commonly called the "Minor Practicks", were published in 1726, by Alexander Bayne.

In 1843 the Bannatyne Club published A Diary of the Public Correspondence of Sir Thomas Hope of Craighall, 1633–1645: From the Original, in the Library at Pinkie House, a collection Hope's official and private correspondence from the last twelve years of his life.

Family
Hope married Elizabeth Bennet, daughter of John Binning or Bennet of Wallyford, Haddingtonshire. The couple had the following children:
 * John Hope, Lord Craighall (1605?–1654)
 * Thomas Hope, Lord Kerse (1606–1643)
 * William, died young
 * Henry, died young
 * Sir Alexander Hope of Grantham/Granton (1611–1680), Carver Extraordinary and cup-bearer to Charles I.
 * Sir James Hope of Hopetoun (1614–1661), progenitor of the Earls of Hopetoun
 * David, died young
 * Patrick, died young
 * Charles, died young
 * Elizabeth, died young
 * Margaret, died young
 * Mary/Marie, mother of Sir Charles Erskine, 1st Baronet of Alva
 * Elizabeth, died unmarried
 * Anne/Anna, married David Erskine, 2nd Lord Cardross

Of the four sons who survived infancy, three of these later qualified as advocates: John, Thomas and James. Two of these sons were elevated to judges in the Supreme Court.

Two of his sons were appointed to the bench while Hope was Lord Advocate; and it being judged by the Court of Session unbecoming that a father should plead uncovered before his children, the privilege of wearing his hat, while pleading, was granted to him. This privilege his successors in the office of Lord Advocate have in theory ever since enjoyed.

Historical fiction

 * Sir Thomas Hope is the subject of Nigel Tranter's last novel, Hope Endures (2005).

Closed-household economy

A closed-household economy is a society's economic system in which goods are not traded. Instead, those goods are produced and consumed by the same households. In other words, a closed-household economy is an economy where households are closed to trading. This kind of economy is present, for example, in hunter-gatherer societies.

The production and consumption of goods is not separated as in a society with high division of labor.

The closed-household economy contrasts with a barter economy, in which goods are bartered (traded against each other), and a monetary economy, in which goods are traded for money.

The closed-household economy and the barter economy are together referred to as non-monetary economies.

VH1 Storytellers (Ringo Starr album)

VH1 Storytellers is a live and video album by Ringo Starr recorded and released for the popular music program in 1998. Unlike his previous live recordings, this release places Starr in an intimate environment where, as per the show's requirement, he tells the genesis of the songs being performed.

Recording
Recorded a month before the release of Starr's new studio album Vertical Man – and performed in promotion for it – VH1 Storytellers features Starr's contemporary musical collaborator Mark Hudson (who produced the album) and Starr's current band, dubbed "the Roundheads". Aside from songs that appeared on Vertical Man, much of the set is devoted to Starr's Beatles and early solo successes.

Release and reception
This marked the last time a Ringo Starr album was released on cassette in the United States, according to journalist Peter Palmiere. However, some countries in the Far East still issue cassettes of recent Ringo Starr material including Ringo Rama, Choose Love, and Photograph: The Very Best of Ringo Starr.

VH1 Storytellers was released by Mercury Records in the US on 20 October 1998. The album failed to chart. Entertainment Weekly's reviewer wrote: "It's his yarns, though, that are most engaging … A nice retrospective of an under appreciated composer."

Personnel

 * Ringo Starr – lead vocals, drums, piano on "Don't Pass Me By"
 * Joe Walsh – guitar, backing vocals
 * Mark Hudson – guitar, harmonica, backing vocals
 * Gary Burr – guitar, mandolin, backing vocals
 * Steve Dudas – guitar
 * Jack Blades – bass, backing vocals
 * Jim Cox – keyboards, backing vocals
 * Scott Gordon – harmonica
 * Simon Kirke – drums, percussion

Rudbeckia

Rudbeckia is a plant genus in the Asteraceae or composite family. Rudbeckia flowers feature a prominent, raised central disc in black, brown shades of green, and in-between tones, giving rise to their familiar common names of coneflowers and black-eyed-susans. All are native to North America, and many species are cultivated in gardens for their showy yellow or gold flower heads that bloom in mid to late summer.

The species are herbaceous, mostly perennial plants (some annual or biennial) growing to 0.5–3.0 m tall, with simple or branched stems. The leaves are spirally arranged, entire to deeply lobed, and 5–25 cm long. The flowers are produced in daisy-like inflorescences, with yellow or orange florets arranged in a prominent, cone-shaped head; "cone-shaped" because the ray florets tend to point out and down (are decumbent) as the flower head opens.

A large number of species have been proposed within Rudbeckia, but most are now regarded as synonyms of the limited list given below.

Several currently accepted species have several accepted varieties. Some of them (for example the black-eyed susan, R. hirta), are popular garden flowers distinguished for their long flowering times. Many cultivars of these species are known.

Rudbeckia is one of at least four genera within the flowering plant family Asteraceae whose members are commonly known as coneflowers; the others are Echinacea, Dracopis, and Ratibida.

Rudbeckia species are eaten by the caterpillars of some Lepidoptera species including cabbage moths and dot moths.

Etymology
The name was given by Carolus Linnaeus to honor his patron and fellow botanist at Uppsala University, Olof Rudbeck the Younger (1660–1740), as well as Rudbeck's late father Olof Rudbeck the Elder (1630–1702), a distinguished Naturalist, Philologist, and Doctor of Medicine (he had discovered the lymphatic system), and founder of Sweden's first botanic garden, now the Linnaean Garden at Uppsala. In 1730 Linnaeus had been invited into the home of the younger Rudbeck (now almost 70) as tutor of his youngest children. Rudbeck had then recommended Linnaeus to replace him as a lecturer at the university and as the botanical garden demonstrator, even though Linnaeus was only in his second year of studies. In his book The Compleat Naturalist: A Life of Linnaeus, Wilfred Blunt quotes Linnaeus's dedication:

"So long as the earth shall survive and as each spring shall see it covered with flowers, the Rudbeckia will preserve your glorious name. I have chosen a noble plant in order to recall your merits and the services you have rendered, a tall one to give an idea of your stature, and I wanted it to be one which branched and which flowered and fruited freely, to show that you cultivated not only the sciences but also the humanities. Its rayed flowers will bear witness that you shone among savants like the sun among the stars; its perennial roots will remind us that each year sees you live again through new works. Pride of our gardens, the Rudbeckia will be cultivated throughout Europe and in distant lands where your revered name must long have been known. Accept this plant, not for what it is but for what it will become when it bears your name."

Species

 * Accepted species
 * Rudbeckia alpicola Piper – showy coneflower - Cascades in Washington
 * Rudbeckia auriculata (Perdue) Kral – eared coneflower - Alabama, Georgia, Florida Panhandle
 * Rudbeckia californica A.Gray – California coneflower - California
 * Rudbeckia flava T.V.Moore - Colorado, Wyoming
 * Rudbeckia fulgida Aiton – orange coneflower - eastern USA + Canada, Texas to Connecticut + Quebec
 * Rudbeckia glaucescens Eastw. – waxy coneflower - northwestern California, southwestern Oregon
 * Rudbeckia graminifolia (Torr. & A.Gray) C.L.Boynton & Beadle – grassleaf coneflower - Florida Panhandle
 * Rudbeckia grandiflora (Sweet) DC. – rough coneflower - mostly east Texas to Missouri; scattered locales from Georgia to Ontario

Rastriya Prajatantra Party (Chand)

Rashtriya Prajatantra Party-Chand (राष्ट्रिय प्रजातन्त्र पार्टी-चन्द; translation: National Democratic Party-Chand) was a Nepalese political party. It was a right-wing pro-monarchy party, formed out of the political elite of the erstwhile Panchayat system.

The party was first founded in 1997 when a faction of the Rastriya Prajatantra Party led by Lokendra Bahadur Chand joined a coalition government with Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist–Leninist), with Chand as Prime Minister. The faction led by Surya Bahadur Thapa allied itself with Nepali Congress and toppled the UML-RPP government. In 1998 the party was reunited, after both factions had fared badly in the elections that year.
